CHANG AT VANCOUVER
CROWDS THRONG THE WHARF
TO SEE HIM.
Chinese Residents Erected n Handsome
Arch on the Bridge He Crossed After Ar
riving-He Was Escorted to the Snip in a
Carriage Drawn by White Horses.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 14.-At IL
o'clock yesterday morning LII Hung
Chang arrived at Vancouver. Crowds
lined tue approaches to the depot and
wharf ard masses Of people crowded
all the eminences around the harbor.
The Chinese residents had erected a
handsome and artistic arch on the
bridge leading to the wharf and a
long line of Cinnamon in rich robes
of blue, green, plum color, olive and
orange stood before the arch, waiting
to receive the viceroy.
Che bridge was carpeted for some
yards on either side of the arch and
on this carpet stood carved ebony
table on which incense of sandalwOod
was kept constantly burning in
richly carved bronze burner. The
Chinese band that sounded like bag
pipes played Chinese music as Earl
Ii alighted from the train.
A carriage drawn by four white
horses and draped with the union jacl.
waited to convey him the short dis
lance from the train to the steamer.
When the procession started the
coach was preceded by his celebrated
scarlet chair, carried empty by four
men, and several bands. A division of
marines from the warships in the har-
Dor fell into line behind the vicerOy
followed by long deputation of Chi
namen in their picturesque robes. The
viceroy seemed delighted at the dem
onstration in his honor and especially
with the homage Of his countrymen,
who fell on one knee and raised
clasped hands to him as he passed
by. The gang plank of the Empress
of China was carpeted as for royalty
with the scarlet, terpes were bound
with yellow and draped with flags.
AS he was carried up the plank in his
scarlet chair the Chinese dragon flag
was run to the mainmast and sa-
lutte Of nine guns was fired from her
majesty's ship Comus. The absence
Of cheering was noticeable and gaze
an oriental solelnnity to the proceed
tres. All the ships in the harbor
were gayly decorated with rainbows
OF bunting and many of the roofs
ar,und displayed kodak fiends.
Many prominent citizens had cards
of admission to the Empress OF China
and crowded her decks to catch
glimpse of the earl as he was carried
aboard. For this one day the usual
social order was subverted and Chi
namen everywhere took precedence Of
their white brethren in the good-na-
tured throngs that lined the wharf
The viceroy received deputation of
Cinnamon in his salon. They pre-
sented Ii with an address which was
read from scarlet paper. During the
audience his servant several times
put his pipe to his lips and all but
smoked for the great potentate.
As a mark Of his appreciation Of
the courtesies extended him by the
Canadian Pacific railway, Ii conferred
knighthood upon A. r. Lalonde OF
the passenger departement Of that
road.
The Empress Of China sails to-. day |
and Ii Hung Chang will spend the
time al card.

exports are largely incident to transient

BICYCLES are increasing and so is the
danger Of accidents resulting theretrom.
The city council should at once take
steps to regulate the speed of bicyclists
within the city limits, and an ordinance
should be passed forbidding them to ride
on the sidewalks. We have many miles
of paved streets and the unpaved streets
are in good condition. There is no
occasion for wheelmtn to monopolize
the sidewalks. Accidents to children
and adults will be frequent enough if
they are confined to the streets, but they
will be more frequent if allowed the
freedom of the sidewalks.
