Unpleasant Experience OF the N"97
Refugees in Their New Home
A remarkable story comes from Gan
ada about the Doukhobors' who' alle'
many vicissitudes since they were eA-
PEELED from Russia, were brought over
at the EXPENSE of the Canadian gov
eminent and sent into the Northwest
to make population and raise Whea'
for the maintenance of the CANADIAN
Pacific railway. They had hardiy put
foot in the country, in a state OF abso'
lutte poverty and dependence wheh
they were beset by the ministers OF the
many rival sects that abound in Can
ada to join their different denomina-
tons. Satisfied with their own simple
and practical form Of Christianity, they
repealed all the overtures made 10
them, and so came to be regarded as
little better than heather. Then petty
persecution began. The patrlOuc
British immigrants and settlers III
their vicinity accused them of dis
loyalty for not participating in the re-
jOicing that followed the relief OF
Kimberly, the relief of Ladysmith, ana
other events in South Africa, follow
ing up their accusations by acts or
menace and violence. They were also
described as anarchists because they
would not work for less than custom

ture. which would have as much ef-

said to be sown broadcast among
them. A portion of the French press
took up the cry and went for them on
religious and racial grounds, and al
together the poor DOukhObOrs found
themselves very much between the
devil and the deep sea. They found
not only the people among whom they
had come inhospitable. but the climate
unpropitious, and began looking about
for some escape to more civilized and
favorable surroundings
Good fortune sent some California
land agents their way, and, after some

of promise. But they reckoned with
out taking count of the Canadian gov
eminent The Ottawa authorities first
of all set those well-intentoned per-
sons who had persuaded the Doukho-
bors to take shelter under the British
flag TO induce them not to leave the
subglacial paradise in which they had
been planted; but it was of no avail.
Then force, and of particularly mean
kind, was used. Ii was represented 10
the United States agent at Pembina on
the frontier that the Doukhobors were
engaged under contract to work i'm
California. and the road was blocked
TO them in that way; and so. willy
nilly. they are constrained to remain
British subjects. instead of becoming
American citizens. The situation rs it
presents itself to their minds must sug-
gest curious contract. The gates of
despotic Russia We're opened To let
them out; the doors of free" British
colony are barred against their de-
parture. What kind Of loyalty they
must now entertain toward Canada
and the British flag would be worth
finding out.

Will be Case of Greek Meeting Greek
 for the Championship.
 When the Hartford and New Haver polo teams line up for the contest al Bowling hall tonight they will be greeted by ono of the largest crowds that has yet been seen this season Everyone that takes an interest in the sport is speaking about being on hand as well as many more who have not seen a game this season. The rivalry that has always been the means of making the contests between them of the most exciting kind, the fact that both clubs are presently running neck and neck in the race for the champion ship will create still greater interest into to-night's meeting. Cotters men have still their first game to win at Bowling hall, and will make a desper- ate attempt to change the luck on this occasion Captain Canavan and his Boys in Blue,' will make a bold bid for victory Whatever the result, the contest ought to be one of the best of the season. Reserved seat tickets can be had during the day at Wells cigar store on Chapel street.
