CANADIANS ARE BROAD-MINDED.
VIII Not Follow the Vicious Exam
pie OF the CorIiss Amendments.

Victoria, s. c., March 1.-The principal
interest in the house today was in the
debate on Helmcken's motion regretting
that the United States was passing the
CorlisS amendment, and asking the do
niilion government 70 make representa-
tions to the president TO prevent the pas
sage of the act. HeImcken was very
moderate in his language, saying While
the province had power to make restric-
tons, it was not desirable to have to
resort to such a course, as it would be a
pity to spoil the present amicable rela
tons between Canada and the United
States. Still it was desirable to strength
en- the hands of the dominion govern
ment, and show that British Columbia
was alive to the interests of her own
WOrkingmen.
Premier Turner expressed qualification
at the moderate tone of Mr.. Helmcken,
saying that while Canadians should look
after their people, it would be small to,
follow methods they disapproved. 1t was
not desirable ito bring about retaliation
on the same lines the narrow minded
legislation which the United States was
contemplating, as such legislation is be-
htnd the age
Both was for giving the United States
taste of lis own medicine The time
had come when British Columbia could
do without an American in the country,
and when the United STATES strikes at
us we must give back blow for blow.
kGllie, of Northwest Kootenay in an
amendment moved to urge on the do
minion government the desrability of
passing such legislation as will secure
the labQrinS classes OF the dominion the
same restrictions on foreigners coming
into Canada Were put III the Corliss
law. hellie was out for retaliation
straight, and would not allow the AM
eTIca6s any privileges they denied to

ENGLAND AGAINST THE GRECIANS.
Salisbury Says Crete Must Not He
Severed; From Turkey.

London, March 2.-The earl of klmber-
ly. liberal leader. called attention in the

the Turkish troops should
be Withdrawn from the island simultane-
ously with those of Greece.

for the government, said the policy which
was fOreshadowed on Thursday, was IN
he main that which had been accepted
by the powers Continuing. his lordship
explained that there was not. however,
complete unanimity in regard TO the with
dIayyal of the Turkish troops and he add
Cd that Crete would not be Joined to
Greece. The premier thought the ques-
ton should be deferred for quieter ana
more deliberate consideration. His lord
ship then said that he sympa thized with
the Cretans and desired to see an end put
10 their oppression. but he continued, 1t
was the duty of the government TO mann
tain the existing conditions until they
saw the way to a safe and peaceful issue

upon an effective autonomy for Crete,
whereby is meant the withdrawal of the
arbitrary power of Turkey.

JEALOUSY AMONG THE POWERS.
Emperor William Resents the Tone
of the British Government.

London, March 1.-The Daily Chronicle
says there is little doubt that the serious
hitch in the concert Of the powers is due,
first to lack of wisdom on the part of the
government, and secondly to the wrath
of Emperor William, who, the Chronicle
says deeply resents the form of Lord
Salisburys announcement of the policy
of Great Britain toward Crete, especially
the suggestion that Great Britain has
taken the lead in the concert. Continu-
ing, the Chronicle says:
This indiscretion was enhanced by Mir.
Curzon's most unfortunate speech, in
which he said the solution was mainly
due to Lord Salisbury. 1t is understood
the emperor, in retaliation, made himself
responsible for the official communication
from st. Petersburg on Thursday last, i'll
which Russia threatened the immediate
coercion of Greece, failing her instant
compliance.
"There is reason to believe the attitude
Of the emperor has not been Influenced
by serious reports which have reached
Berlin as to the present relations between
England and the Transvaal."
