LEGISLATURE WAS PROROGUED.
Brilliant Scenes at Victoria Not
without Sensation.

Victoria b. c.. May 10.-The legislature
was prorogued Saturday,, with the usual
elaborate ceremonies, the lieutenant gov
ernor in a cooked hat and Windsor uni
form coming to the house surrounded by
a brilliant staff of naval and military Of
ficers. The fifth regiment of Canadian
artillery formed a guard of honor and
the band played God Save the Queen,
as the governor entered the house. 1t
rained dismally, but there was fair at
tendance of visitors.
For the second time since the confedera-
ton the formal reading of bills assisted
to create a great sensation. After as
senting to 10 bills passed, the clerk of
the house said the lieutenant governor
reserved his assent to bill No. 40, until
the pleasure of the governor general OF
Canada was known on the subject. rms
means that the bill passed this year by
the legislature declaring that Chinese ana
Japanese are prohibited from employ
ment on works carried on under fran
chises granted by private acts must be
referred to the dominion to say whether
it is constitutional or not. The only 9TH
err time since confederation when this
has been done was in 1877, when the then
lieutenant governor, Richards, reserved
his assent to a bill giving gold commits
sioners judicial powers. The dominion
upheld this as infringing on the domin-
ion powers to appoint judges.
This is the last time the legislature
meets in the old legislative buildings
and in memory of the occasion the ven
cradle DIR. J. S. Helmcken, who was the
first speaker of the old Vancouver col
ony after it passed out of the sway of
the Hudsons Bay Company, some 40
years ago, had a place at the right of
the speaker. At the next session fine new
buildings will be ready for the legisla-

Arizona Desperadoes OVcrpowered
Deputy Mendcr mt Prescott.

Prescott, Ariz.. May 10.--Jim Parker, the
notorious train ropper who held up the
Atlantic & Pacinc train at Rock Cut in
February, has added another chapter to

The prisoners asked for a bucket Of wa

opened the door, a Mexican charged with
attempted murder crowded out with
bucket to get water. No sooner had the
Mexican passed out of the inner door
than he grabbed Meader around both
arms, when Parker and l.. G. Miller, in
for forgery, came out of the door.
Meader cried for assistance, and Assist
ant Attorney Lee Norris, who happened
to be in the office upstairs, came to his
aid. He was descending the stairs when

PENALTY AND INTEREST DUE ALSO
County Trcasurers Must Remit With
Delinquent Taxes.

Olympia Wash. May Estate Treas
urer Young has been demanding of The
county treaSurcrs Unat they remit , the
state not only the original assessment for
the state taxes collected after delin-
quency, but the penalty and interest on
such taxes as well. The treasurers of
the respective counties have been in
clined to resist payment Of the addition
to the tax assessed, but the assistant at
torney general today rendered an opinion
wherein he holds the state treasurer is
right in his demands. The county treas-
urers therefore will have to come down
with the respective amounts hue. Mr..
Young figures that King county alone
owes the state some $685. 900 Of this penalty
and interets money, and Pierce and Spo-
kane counties about $4,000 apiece. The oth-
or counties owe lesser sums, but a con6ii-
cradle amount In the aggregate.

the square mile is astounding, every available acre would be utilized. And yet there is much vacant farming land In England, simply because the city tendency has taken the farmers sons and daughters to London or Liverpool, or Manchester or Birmingham, or to other cities and towns. In Germany the change has been more marvellous. Ten years ago only forty-three per cent. of the population was in the towns and cities. To-day it amounts to fifty-flve per cent, and is rapidly increasing. Berlin has grown faster than Chicago in the past fifteen years. Hamburg has exceeded St, Louis rate of increase. German cities have outstripped Ameri- can cities In growth in both population and wealth.
 The cause, therefore, must be conn., mon one, and 1t does not take long to find what it is. It is the shifting from agriculture to industry, from the farm to the factory. These three great na- tions are doing the manufacturing or the world. Manufacturing pays larger wages than rural pursuits, and With larger wages come larger attractions In the way of living and entertainment. and larger possibilities in the way of material success. And so the growth of the cities will undoubtedly go on in- creasingly. What the ultimate effect of 1t will be remains to be seen, for no one can forecast it.--Leslie's Weekly.

RELIGION SCORES,

The conflict between science and re- ligion is not yet over, and the conflict between the bicycle and religion is as lively as ever. When the importance of football is considered it Is not at all surprising to read that there is con- flict between football and religion in Evanston, Illinois, and it Is encourag- ing to notice that religion is ahead up to date. The Northwestern University and Wisconsin University elevens are to line up against each other to-day, and President Rogers of the former in- stitution has issued stringent orders that the game must not be called until church is out. This interferes with the arrangement of the boys, and threat ems to hurt their finances" too. But it is clearly proper. Sound learning may take back seat while the football is being kicked and fallen on, but it is a little too much to ask that religion should also get out of it's way. We commend President Rogers for his sand, and we have no doubt that he is cor dially cursed by the young men who are aching for chance to kick the stuffing out of each other.

THE TENDENCY cITYwARD.

Some alarm is being felt in many of the rural districts at the increasing flow of population to the cities. One effect of it has been severely felt during the present year. Many farmers, with the most abundant crops they ever had, were unable to harvest them thorough ly because they could not find the labor or the assistance. Even during the de- pressed times of the past four years, when the cities were congested with eal out of work, labor was scarce in hundreds of the counties. But the con- trast seems to offer little attraction to the dwellers in the cities. There are lit orally hundreds of thousands of people who would rather exist from hand to mouth in 8 city than to live sumptuous- ly in the country. The gregarious in- stinct of the race is approaching over development.
 But the cause is more distinct than the mere feeling for getting where oth- CT people are. In England and in Ger many we find instructive parallels to our own experience. It would be SUD- posed that in the tight little island, where the proportion of population to
