Vancouver held a mass meeting last
week to protest against the existing state
OF affairs governing the situation in the
Klondike. As is usual in most mass meet
ings, resolutions are proposed and adopt
ed without much heed to fact or reason,
and the terminal city is peculiar in this
respect. One such was proposed by a gen.
tleman by the name OF Watson. and, as it
bears distinctly with this district, 1t is
attached: That the meeting emphatic
ally protest against the granting of min
ers' licenses or allowing miners TO tako
up claims. except they be British subjects.
and would urge upon the government the
necessity of protecting the miners of Brit
ish origin in this province by prohibiting
any alien from working in the mines who
cannot prove a residence in the said prov
ince of at least three years. Mr.. Watson
had been In the kootenay country lately,
and he had been informed that American
capitalists came in here and opened up
property with managers and woTkmen
from their own country 10 the detriment
OF Canadians. who had 10 make room for
the foreigners. After this statement the
motion was put and carried unanimously.
Time without. number this assertion has
been advanced by the ignorant. and as
often denied by the press OF the camp.

few years realize full wen what is due the

American for the manner in which ne has

The loss % the Clara Nevada is pro-
foundly sorrowful event. and the fact that
officers, crew and passengers were nearly
al, strangers here made it scarcely less
of a grievous shock to people on Puget
sound. 1t Will be some time before we
know who were lost among the passen-
gers Capt Lewis, Officer Kelly, Purser
Beck and Freight Clerk Rogers all be-
ionged in Portland, and the tragedy, there
fore. has special personal interest in that
city. We think that no similar disaster
ever before occurred on the Pacific coast.
Many great disasters have occurred. like
the loss OF the Pacific and the Brother
Jonathan. But the first succumbed to 4
collision and the second struck a rock
each involving the loss Of about 200 per-
sons. The Golden Gate was burned abou I
forty years ago. but she made shore and
many escaped. 1t is thought that the
only living thing 20 escape from the

I. 81 too early to endeavor to fix re-
sponsibllity for the Clara Nevada trag-
eGy, and the exact cause VIII in ali hu-
man probability never be known. IL Is
related TO the battleship Maine horror
I'm the sudaenness. swiftness and mys-
tery with which many innocent beings
were hurried TO death. The circum-
stances we're even more terrifying. In
the midst OF a binding s8owstorrn,
In the howl Of tremendous gale,
In the dead OF night, their helpless

passengers and crew were ushered into

preliminary warning and no confusion,
and no chance for fearful preparation;
on the Clara Nevada the victims must
have died ;housand deaths before the
end came.
Conjecture is vain as to how il hap
pened Now thai II Is all over there Is
much talk about defective boilers
ana rem.ssness and reckless disregard
for consequences on the part OF both
owners and government inspectors.
Bat Il Is scarcely credible that the in
spectors failed to perform their duty.
On the contrary there is much testi-
nloDy that they made the necessary
tests scrupulously and carefully. II is
vith the boiler tubes and safety valve

rioas circumstance that Purser Beck,
one OF the owners, in a letter to his
partners from Juneau, barely alluded
to the matter, and evidently considered
IL OF no consequence. The reports are
that spectators on the shore at Seward
City first saw vessel IN flames and

Soem likely. then, that fire burst forth
either from the furnace or from spon-
taneous combustion In the coal. or from
other cause. Captain Lewis, known as
an intrepid and competent master. saw
that IL would be useless to attempt to
launch llfeboats in that furious storm.
and he ordered all steam put on and
tried to make shore. The boilers burst
and nifty persons perished. This theory
Is good until better is offered
Fire at sea Is the most dreadful Of all
calamities. Its victims are confronted
by the appalling alternative of death
BY flame or by water. Escape in a storm
Is often rendered impossible. In the
case of the Clara Nevada no element OF
horror seems 10 have been missing to
render the plight Of crew and passen-
gers hopeless. We believe that even in
that awful moment of panic, some
among them faced death with reslgna-
ton and without a tremor. and COM
mitted their souls TO the keeping OF
their Maker.
