1--WE DON'T WANT Your
No Room In British Columbia for the
Duthobors. .g~---
special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Vancouver, B. c, Oct. 29.-The reply
sent to the Duhkobors by the premier and
resident governor Of British Columbia is
practically: 1--WE don't want YOU and
your mischievous theories of non -observ-
ance Of human law.
Many Of the Dukhobors wrote through
an agent, letter in French to Lieuten-
ant Governor Jolly de Lotbiniere. a French
Canadian. In itsthey said that they could
not obey human laws, as they were
obliged to do in Manitoba and the terri
tory. Only Gods law could they observe,
yielding obedience to no ordinance Of
man. ID. >
They therefore asked the British Col
u,nbian governor to enable them to settle
in British Columbia. Neither the neuten-
ant governor nor Premier Dunsmuir liked
the frankness of the Dukhobor's declara-
ton, and as they did not desire to obey
human laws, they sought to come to Brit
ish Columbia. This looked too much like
a rejection and the governor and premier
resented it accordingly. #

Leaving the interurban car at Pacific

confronted him and ordered him to throw

covered him with a revolver and went
through his pockets. :. .,.t
The money, which was in one roll and
consisted Of bills ranging in denomina-
ton fro $40 to $500, was carried in his
inside vest pocket. After securing the
roll the robbers quietly warned Cornelius

WHO THE OUTDOORS ARE

Strange Sect of Communicate Russians,
Their immigration to Canada.
The Dukhobors are Russian scot cor
responding In way to the Friends in
America; that is, SO far as their religious
beliefs are concerned. They have always
been prosecuted in Russia on account Of
their peculiar beliefs. and in 1899 a move >
homes in the Canadian northwest. The
immigration officials of the dominion en-
couraged the movement In every way pos
sible and some aid was also given by the
Quakers in Philadelphia and Great Brit
ain In the shape Of stock, goods, imple-
ments. etc. The stream of immigration
having once been started, continued until
nearly 10000 Dukhobors had settled In
their new homes.
The 1901 report Of the department: Of
immigration showed that there were fifty
five Dukhobor villages in the Canadian
northwest aoa With g total ,, Reputation Of
Gated in the northeast corner Of Assina-
boia, thirty one in Yorkton district and
the remainder in the Saskatchewan
country. >. =.
The Dukhobors make all their arrange
ments on communistfc basis. Generally
two-th Of their able-bodied men go
out to earn money, while the others re-.
main to look OTTER the farms of the COM
munity. The men proved to be good hands
as a rule for clearing rights Of way for
railroads, and with experience became;
good track-layers. So they were utilized
largely In the building of the Canadian
Northern railroad. and many Of the COM
munities received large sums of money
from the wages of these men, SO that
1t was not long after their arrival before
they became SELF supporting. The report
quoted above saysEthey have in the ag-f
lgTegate 500 head Of cows, and the same
number Of horses and sheep. -. -.
Recently, however, strange wave Of
fanatic1sm has swept over part of the
Dukhobor comm unities. The first symp-
tom was the appearance of a belief among
them that it was sinful to use animals in
any way for food or clothing or labor. It
was held that animals were Gods crea-
lures and man had no right to force them
to labor or to Kill them for food, or to
use their products in any shape for cloth
ing. When this belief took root, many
communities at once turned their cattle
loose, gave up the wearing Of WOODEN
Clothes and performed all the farm labor
themselves. The government was forced
to collect the stray cattle and sell them.
at auction.
The latest development Of fanaticism
has been the abandonment OF farms and
dwellings and granaries and the march
Of bodies Of the frenzied fanatics "look-.
ing for Jesus" This has brought about
the present deplorable state OF affairs.
Some of the Dukhobor communities have
not as yet been infected by this strange
epidemic Of madness, and may not bes
but the problem is one to tax the utmost
resources Of the dominion authorities.

PORTO RICANs ARE ALIENS.
Decision by Judge Lacombe in Case at

Lacombe in which he holds that citizen
Of Porto Rico Is not citizen Of the United
States and as such entitled to land here
without interference from the immigrant
authorities, but is, the insuar decisions
Notwithstanding an alien within the mean

The matter came before Judge Lacombe
on the application for writ Of habeas
corpus sworn out on behalf of Isabella
Gonzales, native Porto Rican woman,
who arrived in New York August "A last
She was detained by the immigration au-
thorities on the ground that being an un-
married woman her condition was such
that she was an undesira BILE alien. She
was ordered deported, but a well-to-do
aunt and uncle living on Staten Island Sc
cured attorneys to get her released through
habeas corpus.
The only question for discussion" reads
the opinion, lis whether petitioner is an
alien. The fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States provides
United States and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof are citizens of the United States.
Petitioner was by birth alien; unless
she has since, in some appropriate way,
been naturaliZed she Is still an alien. There
is no suggestion that she was ever natural

admission Of alien citizens. The treaty of
Paris unlike earlier treaties which dealt

of Porto Rico citizens of the United States.
