RUSH INTO WESTERN CANADA.
immigration of Americans Subject Of
Inquiry in Commons,

London, July 26.-In the house OF
| lords yesterday Lord Burghclere, liber-
al, asked Lord Onslow, under secretary
for the colonial Office, if he could in
form the house regarding the alarming
statements that Canadian land was be-
ing bought up by Americans. of whom
100000 were said to have emigrated to
Canada this year.
The under secretary said he thought
Lord Burghclere's figures We're incor-
rect. In 1901 the number of Americans
who emigrated to Canada was 1887,
while to the most recent date this year
the number was "a 100. The under sec
rotary also said that in western Canada
land was being taken up with uneXam-
pied rapidity. not only by Americans,
but by Englishmen and other Europe
ans, which bid fair to make the Cam
adam wheat fields an important factor
in the wheat supply of the world.
Lord Rosebery, liberal. asked for the
figures of the emigrations from Can
ada to the United States, but Lord Ons-
low was unable to supply them.

of West Virginia, who restrained them
from holding meetings to induce the
men to quit work, and imprisoned q
number of organizers for violating an
injunction. The plan of action is not
definitely outlined, but is is probable
impeachment proceedings will be be-
gun soon, if Judge jackson. after final
hearing. refuses to dissolve the in
junction. A complete transcript of tho
case, including the complaints and
Judge Jackson's decision, will be sub
1nitted to Roosevelt and the senate.
Wilson says Impeachment proceedings
will be begun and there will be no
politics in them. The miners will not
ask Roosevelt to interfere with the
injunction, as they realize the president
is without power as to iniunctions,
but if the habeas corpus proceedings
fail to release the organizers, the presi-
dent will be asked to pardon them.

been enormous, but an estimate can not
be made accurately, for the town has
been under water three days and will be-
inundated for three more days. At

dian Pacific railroad directors confirm
ed to representative of the Associated
Press every particular of the Canadian
Pacifics offer to build and operate a

tain to be the terminal port of the new
