sooner or Later the Government
VIII Have to Face the Question.

The rowing correspondent of the
Province of Victoria. b. c., writes
mo one can imagine the extent to
which the Chinese element is spreading
throughout British Columbia without
making a tour of the province. Wher-
ever you go you find John Chinaman
making his way and in many cases
supplanting white labor-in other
words, taking the bread out of the
mouths of our own people. Not only
do we see the Chinese in the laundries
and the hotels or employed as ordinary
domestics in the houses, but we also
find them engaged in our fisheries and
lumber yards, our coal mines and as
navvies on the railroads. Millions Of
dollars in gold have been washed from
our gravels by Cinnamon and now
they are in KOOtenay permeating
through the mining districts in every
direction. The industrious habits Of
the celestials are cOmmendable, but
when it is considered that out of eV-
cry dollar earned by them fully 80 per
cent goes out of the province to China,
the constant drain upon the country
becomes a serious matter Sooner or
later the government of Canada will
have to face the Chinese question, and
the sooner it is faced the better ii will
be for the Canadian people. The Chi
nese are now finding their way to east
ern Canada in large numbers and un-
less something is done to check their
immigration in to the dominion every
province will be overrun with them. A
$50 entrance fee does not serve as a
check upon their incoming. l doubt if
the sum were increased to $500 whether
it would have any perceptible effect.
What is wanted is exclusion, or at
least a stringent law restricting the
importation of the coolie element.
"Of course some of our large employ
ers of labor such as the Gamers. GER
tain of our local mining corporations
and railroads will disagree with me and
will endeavor to show that the eXclu-
sion Of Chinese would mean disaster
to important industries, especially on
the Pacific coast. 1t might mean a dis
arrangement of existing conditions,
but not disaster. 1t would lessen the
profits of some concerns, it is true but
at the same time it would lead to a
large employment of white labor and
more money in circulation throughout
the various trades of the country The
folly Of the Canadian government in
allowing ship loads of Chinese to be
landed on our shores is only creating a
problem which they may yet have the
greatest difficulty in solving. l am
impressed with the Importance of this
question by the remarks l am con-
stantly hearing on the subject from
people of all grades. The government
will do we'll to take warning in time"

Hotels Not Plentiful.
Even in some of the fair-sized towns
in the interior the hotel accommo1a-
tons are slender. Some hotels boast
of three rooms for guests. and the pro-
prietor is cook. porter. waiter and clerk.
There is usually one wash bowl for all
the guests, and the beo clothing has a
suspicious look. After sleeping a night
in one of these places, il is necessary
to use Persian powder freely.
In the country districts there are lao
hotels or inns. khan being the Irdi-
nary place OF shelter for travellers.
Every one sleeps on the earth floor
wrapped in rug, as close to the fire as
he can conveniently get. Stores are
kept in one corner of the khan by the
keeper, and it is possible to get cold
roast lamb, bread, cheese and wine.
In the cities the natives affect Euro
pean clothes. but in the country dis
tricts the people adhere to the white
fustanella, or kits, gay jacket and red
fez. Some wear capuchin cloaks in
cold weather. the hood being drawn
over the head. Hats and bonnets are
unknown among the women in the
country Handkerchiefs are wound
about the heads, and sometimes wells
are worn to conceal the face from
strangers. Gay colors, usually red. are
worn. Women are kept in semi-Orien-
tai seclusion, and. although they work
in the fields, they do not appear freely
on the village streets

An Owls Annette.

southern California baby burrowing
owl. 5 weeks old, eats half its weight of
raw beef at a single meal, and does not
suffer in the slightest degree from dys-
pepsia. 1t takes three square meals of
this size daily and even then appears to
be hungry at bedtime. An observing
physician believes that valuable digestive
aids for the human stomach can be ex-
tracteG from these owls of large appe-
tite, which will be more efficacious posi-
bly, than are the pepsin preparations now
secured from the Intervals of pigs
Should this belief be confirmed the mar
ket for California owls ought to be con-
siderable, and the demand for the birds
might warrant the establishment of owl
ranches

IT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO
Drifted Away, but Returns to His
Children Fairly Rich.

Early in 1875 Andrew Lee of dissipated
habits, disappeared from home, and moth
ing being heard of him, it was supposed
that he had died. Recently a son received
a letter from his father asking concern
ing his old home, and soon after the faith
er himself appeared.
According to his story, he drifted about
the country in a haphazard manner until
one evening, at Los Angeles, Cal, about
five years ago, he attended a meeting Of
the Salvation Army out of curiosity. This
aroused a desire for reformation and he
at once ceased drinking. Lucky pros
Decting in the mountains gave him a start
and, while he is not wealthy, he is very
we'll fixed financially and in condition to
materially aid his children, several Of
whom are still living in Indianapolis. His
wife died some years ago.

his ascension to the throne Sultan
Abdul Azziz has been busily engaged
cutting off the heads of his male rela

ago one of the Sultans of Turkey dis
covered that the Koran permitted the
killing of all male relatives of royalty,
together with their harems and the
progeny of the harems, and the young
Sultan of Morocco has taken full ad-
vantage of this precedent.
This young Sultan has greater num-
Der of wives than any other of the

CALLED THE ATTORNEY TREE
Parasite That Snps the Life Out
of Its Supporters.

The cupey, or, as it is sarcastically
called in the English possessions, "the
attorney" is one of the most curious, as
it certainly is the most picturesque den!-

dian islands, says the London Tid-Bit 1t
belongs to the parasitical family of trees
or plants, but, terrible to relate, 1t in
variably with the basest ingratitude de-
stroys all life in the unfortunate tree that
cherishes it in its early growth. The
seeds are borne on the wings of the wind
and deposited on the branches of other
trees, when they burst into roots, which
are dropped toward the ground all round
the nurse" tree In time these roots
reach the ground and strike into the soil
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger, until they resem-

tree. Next, the parasite sends down a
great cord, which twines round the trunk
of the supporting tree, at first as though
in loving embrace, but it grows tighter
and tighter, eventually strangling it's ben
efactor out of existence. The nurse"
tree, thus killed, rots to decay. and from
the immense fibrous roots of the destroyer
now springs a great trunk, which rises
high into the air. When the cupey is fun
grown it presents a magnificent specta-
Gle, for the cord-like roots rise often to so
or 60 feet and support in midair the vast
tree itself

this tube gets iniiamed you have u

and when IL is entirely closed deaf

Protection in the Colleges.

CHICAGO, April 3.DThe National
Republican League Of College Clubs
Nlll meet here today. Representa-
lives will be present from every large
college and university, from Dart
mouth to Leland Stanford. The OFF,
GERS of the league who will be
present are President Vaughn, OF the
University OF Chicago; Secretary
Marlborough, of the University Of
Michigan; First Vice President II. B..
Deberyille, of the University Of Yer
mont; Second Vice President, II. Il.
4ohnson, of Nebraska: Third Vice
president G. e. Cosands, OF Earlham
college, Colorado. Many Of the ofii-
eers of the National Republican
league will be present, including the
Hon. NJ. j. Bowling, national secre-
lary, from Minnesota. Among the
Ieading college Republicans who will
Iake part will be f. f. Pratt, of Chi
cago, and w. d. McWilliams, of Kali
amazoo.
The convention promises TO be the
Iargest and most representative gath
ring of young Republicans ever held.
There are about $50 colleges and uni
Fersities entitled to send delegates to
the convention, and large majority
of them have responded that they will
be fully represented. This will be the
Nth convention of the League, pre-
fious gatherings OF the organization
having been held at Ann ArbOr, Buf
falo, Syracuse and Grand Rapids.
Since its formation in 1892, the at
tendance has steadily grown, and the
league of young Republicans is re-
garded today as an active, influential
and important factor in American
politics. The Leagues membership
is now about $1,000. The annual ban
Quet will be held at the Auditorium
this evening.
Among the speakers will be; Senator
John B. Thurston, Nebraska; Gov
ernor j. r. Bradley, Kentucky; Sena-
tor-elect G.. L. Wellington, Maryland;
General McAlpin, New York, and the
Hon. j. p. DOlliyer, Iowa. Senator j.
n. McCleary, OF Minnesota, win deliver
bis famous address on "The College
Man In Politics, +" and campaign songs
.will be rendered by the combined uni
sersity glee clubs. The college yells
Df the different institutions win be
great feature OF the banquet.
Among the speakers at the conyen-
tion win be ]. F. Burke, Delmer Il.

james j. Sheridan, of Yale, and J. p.
Whyte, OF the University of Chicago.
1t is the policy of the league to in-
terest men In politics while in college
by organizing political clubs to
instruct college men in order to lead
educated men tosdo their duty in pub.
lie matters. In order to make the
college clubs of practical use to the
National Republican League in cam
paign work, the college organizations
have been urged to form glee clubs
and to cooperate with campaign
managers. Every college club is en-
Joined to hold at least one meeting
year, at which noted speaker shall
discuss the vital political issues of the
day.
One of the most important things
the league will try to accomplish will
be controlling the college curricula in
favor Of protection. At recent meet
ing of the executive committee, the
members declared against the practice
of many colleges in teaching free
trade doctrines, and it decided to take
bold stand for a fair treatment of
economic questions in college courses.
1t decided that the league should in
sist on colleges giving the theory of
protection as advocated by the league
fair consideration in their teachings.
nSome members of the league object
to this attitude Of the committee.
They say the attempt to force study
on a college would tend to hurt pro-
lection, instead of benetitting it. If
political economy Is a science, they
say, declarations of political bodies
cannot affect 1t.
