Steamship Companies Are Planning to Put JapS Into the Fire Rooms If the Whites Should Go Out On

of the northern counties of Washing ton. they produced a splendid tie at 8 cents apiece whereas the white laborer demanded IS cents apiece.
 So rapidly were the subjects of the Mikado invading the fields of Amer ican labor in that section that the unions took up the matter and intend ed 10 prosecute it vigorously. About that time the horde ceased coming. Labor leaders regard them as the greatest of all menaces 10 good wages. for they work cheap and live poorly as compared withHhe white people.
 lt is known that many of the steam ship companies have been figuring on putting Japs into the fire rooms of their boats if the slightest provocation arose, and should the present strike ex- tend to the stokcrs it will be seized up- on as a pretext 10 supplant the Amer jeans with brownies. The Japs are very steady when employed. and in anything which does not require extra physical labor. they make a fair substitute for the European or American. They are not given to booze, which is a habit very prevalent among steamer hremen. They are exceptionally strong in the arms but are weak at lifting or any thing which draws upon the muscles of the back.
 Features of the Jap labor which the corporations like is its steadiness. cheapncss and subserviency.
 lt is entirely probable if the present continues in Seattle that the dock operators will try 10 employ Japs as 'longshormemen. This has several times been suggested there by the wharf men. but has never been tried. II the scheme is inauguratcd. there is sure to be merry war for the Amer ican wokingman and mechanic has pre- rious little use for his Oriental brother

The steamship companies have thus far used an effective weagon to prevent their 6rcmcn from striking in connec- ton with the sailors and other water front workers lt contemplates the use oi Japanese as stokers. On the last trip up oi the Victorian the steam CT had with one exception, a new crew of deck hands, the others having gone out on a strike while at Scattle,and the 6rcmcn were rather moody and 1t was feared they were going to desert their posts also The ships manager quietly negotiated with Tacoma parties for a force of Japanese hremen and if the others had quit tug would have been sent Co the City of Destiny and the Brownies brought over.
 Ii the little fellows had been put to shoycling coal on the Victorian it would have been a long day before other classes would have taken their places.
 Japs have come into the Sound country by the hundreds during the past eighteen months. Every steamer of the Japan-Scattle line has brought a load of them. So great was the ex- odus of them that the Mikado had to issue an imperial cdict iorbidding any more leaving.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AssAILED.-Rev.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AssAILED.-Rev.
DR.. Albert G. Lawson, of Camden, N.
j., read paper before the Baptist Min-
isters' Conference in New York in
which he bad many harsh words to cay
of Christian Science. Some of them. as
reported 10 the Evening Post. were:
"What is Known ss Christian Science 10
at once personality, q literature, a
philosophy, a professed school of the
science and professedly Christian
Church. To get complete view OF the
thing 1t must be viewed from all these
angles. As to the personality, OF Mrs.
Eddy, 1t is not too much to say that che
is o pretender, and that fact can be
legally established. As q literature,
Christian Science is merely hodge.
podge, without system or order or
original ideas or good sense. Its phi
lcsopby is rejected by every competent
student of philosophy, and as science
1t discredits every scientific demoDstra'
ton. As professedly Christian Church
the organization throws down every
vital doctrine of Christianity. Ii is,
moreover, an immoral system, and 1t is
bound to bring sad harvest OF corrupr
ton. II il had not been for its pre-
tended power to heal it never would
have attained notoriety. Its bealers
collect their fees in advance, and have
never heard of. any of their so-called
churches doing one bit of humanitarian
work among the poor and the unfortu-
nate"

Of women, that such procedure will
affect the mother country even more
than the colonies, there being nearly
million more women than men In the

made by Mr.. chamberlain and other

ton was not so much the value CT more
women to the colonies IS the advantage
of fewer women to England, Scotland,
Wales and, incidentally, Ireland. "Tbe
result OF the disproportion OF women in

sis that women cannot follow the nat
ural course OF life; and not being able
to look forward to becoming wives and
