The Baldwin was crowded from floor to

audience, eager to welcome the first per-
formance of grand opera this season.
There was more toilette display than
is usual at the local theaters. and the cart
wheel hats that so frequently obscure the
stage were scarcely at all in evidence, their
places being taken by tiny opera bonnets.
But in spite of its brilliant appearance
the house, with some exceptions, was not

The mothly report of City Health
Officer Sale was issued yesterday. 1t
shows Total deaths, FL whites, s;

10; deaths over seventy, 2. Thus there
were only six deaths in the class that

In August, 1895, there were SO deaths;
20 white and Is colored. This is a
very gratifying decrease in the death
rate and speaks wei for the healthful-
ness of the city.
One of the most notable features
of the report is that during a time
when fever was prevalent in many
parts of the Stae and in a month when
!. it is especially fatal there was not
single death from typhoid fever among
the white race in the city, and only
four colored persons died from the
disease.

JAPAN AND CANADA.
Reasons why the Dominion should
Not Accept the british Treaty.

Reasons why the Dominion should
Not Accept the British Treaty.
The Monetary Times of Toron-
to states that the British Colum-
bis Board of Trade has wisely
resolved that it is inadvisable for
Canada to participate in the
British treaty with japan. The
latter country takes, and will pro-
badly continue for some time to
take, but a modest quota of natu-
raj products from Canada, but it
would be able under conditions
approaching free trade to intro
duce a ruinously unequal compe-
tition with the Domiuion's manu-
featuring interests. In cottons
and other textiles, in boot, shoe.
and umbrella making, in clothing,
and in various other industries,
the japanese can produce
goods 80 to 40 per cent.
cheaper than can be done in
Canada. This is in part result
of the cheap labor of Japan
made essentially cheaper by silver
depreciation-in part a result of
the general employment of the
best European and American
labor. saving machinery, the best
patents for which are extensively
copied in Japan, which has hither-
to declined to introduce patent
laws. Hosts of expert japanese
industrialists are stated, on the
authority of British investigators
and official records, to earn from
90 to 25 cents a day in their own
land, and they now use the very
best mechanical appliances. Their
wages are, moreover, calculated
on the basis of dollar worth in
exchange 55 cents only. This
currency, deprecated abroad,
maintains nearly, il not quite, its
original labor and general pur-
chasing value in the great silver
world of the Orient. Many in
British Columbia are now con-
tinually thinking over the difficult
problem of theOrient's competition
with the West, associated as such
competition here is with the pros
pect of an early large migration
eastward of japanese cheap labor.
1t seems, however, possible, and
even probable, that some of this
immigration may ultimately he
diverted to part of the very thinly
peopled, naturally rich, but almost
wholly undeveloped lands of Cen
trail and Southern America, where
the Chinese and japanese worker
should prove more resourceful
and at least as civilized as the
Indian and lower class of half
breed of inhabitants, who now ex
pend on reproductive labor but
little of their time. Such an ulti-
mate solution of the problem
would be heartily welcomed by a
large majority of British Column
bians. Meanwhile, they mean to
call loudly for further statutory
restrictions of Mongol settlement.
