FOR THE PROTECTION OF MINERS.
Radical Measure Introduced in the
Victoria Legislature.

Victoria, B. c., April 2S.-Some more i'm
portant mining legislation was before the
legislature when in committee of the
whole on the new metallIferous mines
inspector act. This is q new departure
here, and to meet the Views OF the house
Mr.. Baker, minister of mines, introduced
as amendments provisions under which
the inspector should work. These regu-
lations are in part framed on Cornish
rules, but go farther. Women and child
rem are prohibited from working under
ground, and in this connection Walkem
of Nana1mo had an amendment inserted
preventing the employment of Chinese or
Japanese under ground from being
in charge of any machinery for hoisting
or lowering persons in a mine. 1t is pro-
hibited to pay miners wages in a place
where whisky is sold, and mine owners
must for statistical purposes send in re-
turns to the bureau of mines each year.
Stringent regulations are made to pre-
vent accidents and to inquire into any
that do happen. Provisions, too, are
made for proper ventilation and to pre-
vent explosives being kept at the mine
and to prohibit using iron tamping rods.
Where mines have a shaft 800 feet and
miners are lowered and hoSted there
must be a proper cage and guides. If a
mine owner allows his men to be hoisted
or lowered he must bear all the RESPONSE
bility of accidents in connection there
with There must be proper timberng
and ladders, and penal clauses are insert
ed for infraction of regulations. The bill
went through the committee.

DENOUNCED WOMEN OF THE WEST.
HindOo Nearly MObbed in San Fran.
cisco Because of His Language.

San Francisco, May "A Hindoo Call
ing himself Brahmacharin Bobha bhisk-
Shu nearly created a riot at the meeting
of the Womens Congress by denouncing
the women of the west as savages and
declaring that he had been insulted. His
flowing silken robes had been pulled by
one of the ladies While he was talking
pulled, he said, to insult him because he
was telling the truth in opposition to the
horrible and foolish doctrine of heredity.'
The Women's Congress, a gathering Of
bright women from all over the state,
has been in session here all the week
The Brahmacharin, who claims to be a
Brahmin Of the highest caste. has been
a picturesque figure at all of the meet
ings. Attired in a flowing gown OF yell
low silk and wearing a huge turban, his
appearance was very striking. The ladies
have made much of the man from India.
Continuing, he said: when / was
called upon on last Thursday evening to
reply to Mrs. Gardners paper on 'Hered-
ity, | was doing what little I could to set
aside the horrible, unscientifc truth of
heredity. | did not notice an uneasiness
in the audience; l knew most of them
We're with me; but I did notice the rude
moving about on the stage. and finally
lady came and pulled me from behind"
The Bramacharin had caused a SEN
sation. The Brahmacharin touched only
on reincarnaton to attack Mrs. Gardner's
motives and what he called the falsity of
her paper. He said he raised his voice
against the horrible SYSTEM" and
charged that her advice was that women
be not mothers and men be not fathers.
He expounded on this in language that
would not, even from q medical stand
point, have been fit for technical publica-
ton. He then launched cut into an at
tack upon women in general. He called
them dishonest, and said: The women
of the west as savages. Will you tell me
what is the difference between the In
dian who puts war feathers in his hair
and the woman who puts feathers and
flowers in her hat?"
He then commenced a personal attack
on Mrs Gardner, but his voice was
drowned by the storm of shouts and
Kisses from the audience When finally
quiet was restored, the Hindoo eXclaim-
ed: Il will go like a hero; 1 will be
brave"
He gathered his silken robes about him
and strobe from the stage. Surrounded
by friends he was escorted to the furnace
room and let out into the street through
the coal hole.
