JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.
Senate Considers Influx with View to

The senate has passed a resolution
offered by Mr. Lodge calling upon the
secretary Of the tire asury for informa-
tion in regard to the influx of Japanese
laborers into the cd uutry and whether
there has been any violation of the
contract labor law
Secretary Gage lh response to an in
quiry from the house as to the extent
of the influx of Japanese. has submitted
a letter from Immi grafton Commission
er Powderly, stating that the arrivals
for the nine months ending March n
last were 4,427.
Mr.. Powderly says the extent of rail
way construc ton work in the western
states and territor Ies satisfies the bu-
reau that many Japanese are coming
across the Canadian 10 border, there be-
ing no law which permits adequate in
spection or the keeping of record OF
this entry. While it can only be con-
jectured as to what this immigration
will amount to in the future, Mr.. Pow
derly says the tdady increase of ar
rivals and the runors coming through
officials on the Pacific coast indicate IA
large increase in such immigration.
The commissioners sets forth the diff
ficulties Of checking the coming of the
Orientals and says that the report of
an inspector who visited Japan states
that persons high in political and social
life are connected with the immigra.
tion societies. Mr.. Powderly also
states his belief that the traffic is en-
couraged from this country by those
seeking cheap labor

Kruger's Nephew Captured.

Skeleton messages from Lourenco
Marques, based on information that
leaked out at the Pretoria war office,
show that the Boer stormers at Mafe-
king fell into trap. Colonel Baden
Powell, permitted them to seize one
fort, and he then surrounded and over
bore them before the large forces near
at hand perceived the strategy. 1t was
thus that Sarel Eloff, President Krug-
er's grandson, and part of his command
were taken and many Beers killed.
The dispatch says: "Commandant Eloff,
grandson of President Kruger, with a
patrol, entered Mafeking, whereupon
Colonel Baden-Powell opened fire On
the burghers, killing seventeen OF
them and taking Eloff and ninety OF
his men prisoners.

SAN FRANCISCO HAS PLAGUE.


Six Deaths Have Occurred - Energetic
Measures to Prevent It's Spread.
The board of health has adopted
resolution declaring that bubonic
plague exists in San Francisco. The
health authorities say that while there
are no living cases there has been six
deaths during the past three months,
and they have decided to take precau-
tions against the development aud
spread of the disease. A force of ply
sicians has gone through Chinatown to
treat the Chinese with haffkine prophy-
Tactic, as a preventative against the
plague.
When it became known in Chinatown
that the board of health had deter
mined to inoculate the residents OF the
Chinese section, groups of Chinese
gathered on every corner and de-
nouuced the action of the board as out
rageous. Some OF the more wealthy OF
the indignant Chinese hurried their
families into hacks and other vehicles,
in an attempt to send them out OF the
district. Same of them succeeded in
getting as far as the city limits, where
they were stopped by the police.
