very show to zee what q vast cppor-
funity lay before them in our neighbors
across the Pacific Where the British
are IN control we would have all the
advantages which our superior re-
sources afford rs Great Britain is not
an exporter Of wheat or OF any cereals
As President Hill. Of the Great North

startled the whole country a few months
ago. China could take every bushei Of

its object in forcing way into China
With its railroad is 10 bring those fields

OK the other. This could not be the
case with Russia or Germany. A foot
hold for them in China means per
manent occupation Of the soil The
utilization OF that advantage for the
purpose Of carrying war into the Brit
ish possessions IN other parts Of Asia
Our interests and those Of Great Brit
ain are practically Identical. Those Of
Russia are not only inimical to but may
be fatal 10 the extension OF our trade
with China. The attitude Of Germany
ana Russia with reference to the ports
they have acquired is a menace TO the
most favored nation clause in inter
national treaties. and the United States
should protest as vigorously against
the entering Of the thin edge OF the
wedge as Great Britain does. II is ex-
ceedingiy gratifying to the pride OF this
republic to have a grand empire like
Russia raise US TO the highest d;plo-
matte rank and TO correspond with us
through an ambassador extraordinary
and minister pienipotentiary: but this
polite attention must not divert US from
business.

HOW CANADA FEELS.

We think that the intent and earnest
ness Of the anti-American sentiment on
the Canadian side of the international
boundary lire is underestinated in the
United States. Full reports OF the recent
mass meeting at Vancouver have reached
US There was a number Of speakers. and
without exception they made strong pleas
for restriction of American opportunities
in the klondke, and the unanimous senti-
ment was embodied in the following reso-
buttons:
!. Resolved, That IT Is the Judgment OF
this meeting that timber ard mining IL
censes should be granted only 90 British
subjects, and the citizens OF such coun-
tries a accord similar privileges 10 British
subjects within their own territories.
,. That so long as Canadian lumber GO
Ing into the United States is taxed, an
equal tax should be levied on lumber COM
ing from the States into Canada.
;. That there has not been. nor f. there
~ the present moment. any more need for
United States troops. 10 enter any part of
canada 10 accompany or protect a relief
expedition TO the kioudike, than there il
for Canadian troops 10 enter the United
States 10 protect New York or Chicago.
I. That the disputed territory should be
administered Jointly hy Canada and the
United States until the boundary line be-
tween the two countries is finally settled.
5. That while IL may be right TO carry

madam merchants, especially as il is quite
within the reach % the Canadian govern
ment and merchants in general 10 provide
all necessary supplies for the miners at
date as early as that at which the United
States government can furnish said sup
plies.
The unanimous sentiment OF the meeting
on a kindred matter was like wise expressed
in the following resolution:
Whereas It has been shown that British
subjects are being supplanied by alien la
Dor IN the kootsnay and ether parts OF the
province where American capital has been
Invested. or where American managers and
foremen ara engaged. by dischargfng the
British workmen TO make room for the

Whereas. The British workmen are en-
titled 10 all the emoluments due such

Whereas. The action Of these American
capitalists ard employers tends 70 drive

phaiically protest against the granting of
