Japanese Immigration is Not to Be
Restricted in b. G.

Japanese Immigration is Not to Be
Restricted in b. G.
Vancouver, B. c.. Jan. 81. Sir Will
frid Laurier, premier of Canada, has
suggested to Col. Prior, premier of
British Columbia, that no federal OBJ
lection would be taken to provincial
enactment restricting the immigration
of Chinese, provided that Japanese inn
migration was not prohibited by the
same act
Sir Wilfrid added that as long as the
province of British Columbia insisted
upon connecting Japanese with Chinese
in immigration legislation, just SO long
would the federal authorities, for i'm
perial reasons, insist upon disallowing
those bills. Any legislation, Sir Will
hid declared, which British Columbia
has a right to pass regarding the Chi
nese, would, as matter of fact, be-
come law, but he said "the British CO.
lumbia legislature has hitherto been
merely playing with the question"
At present Chinese are admitted at
500 head; in respect to the British
Columbia demand for more OF the rev.
enue received from the Chinese poll tax
the federal government has agreed to
allow the provincial government to re.
tain so per cent of the amount collected
in British Columbia, instead OF % per
cent, as at present.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE.


Senate-An important measure was
introduced by Senator Moultray to Ell
courage county agricultural associations
and fairs and providing that county
commissioners may levy a tax not to
exceed one. half mill to aid them. The
committee on agriculture recommended
passage of Sharp's bill for state vet
Urinary surgeon. On Crows motion
the vote on his bill for the payment by
litigants of certain jury fees was recon-
sidered and made special order for
Wednesday.
House-The Ehrlich contest came up
as special order for few minutes and
was then laid ever by agreement. The
revenue and taxation committee and a
minority of the committee had repol ted
in favor of the indefinite postponement
of Representative yesterdays bill pro-
viding that certificates of delinquency
should not be sold for six months. Eas-
terday made hard fight for his bill
and by vote 81 to % overruled the
committees.

river. In the proposed change the sixth
standard parallel is made the boundary

MOLASSES AS HORSE Feed
Said to Make Cheap and Nutri-
lions Food.

New York, Jan. 3O.-Between 4 1000
and 5000 horses in Brooklyn are being
fed on molasses because it is believed
to he cheaper and better that oats. The
statement is made by veterinary sur
geon, who adds that horses in harness
from twelve to fourteen hours day do
not take time to masticate and properly
prepare dry oats and other fodder. The
result is that the animals receive more
nutritivc value from their food.
Molasses, if properly mixed with hay,
bran and meal in proportion, is in di-
gestible condition and ready for asssim-
ilation the moment it enters the mouth.
Its nutritive value is therefore quite
apparent. 1t is not only better and
more nutritious than oats, but it is
much cheaper in the end.

oUAY'S LATEST MOVE.
Statehood Bill Tackled Onto Agri.
cultural and Sundry APP.
preparation Bills.

Washington, Jan. ga few min
utes before Senator Lodge closed his
speech in opposition to the omnibus
statehood bill, Senator Quay, in charge
of the bill, introduced the statehood
measure as an amendment to each of
two appropriation bills, the agricultural
and sundry civil bills. The documents
were handed in very quietly, and the
occurrence attracted no attention at the
time. The amendments contained in
each case all the provisions of the bill
as it came from the house and provided
for the admission of Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona as states of the
Union. Senator Quay would not dis
cuss the step, but his friends PRACTICAL
ly admit that it is the intention 20 so
join the measure with the bills provid-
ing money for the conduct of the bust
ness of the government as to render it
necessary to accept the statehood bill
in order to secure the passage of the ap-
preparation bills.
That this is the purpose is made more
clear by the fact that Mr.. Quay re-
quested that the amendments be re-
ferred to the committee on organiza-
ton and conduct of the executive de-
partments, OF which he is chairman. A
rule of the senate requires that in order
to avoid being thrown out ON point of
order, an amendment to the appropria-
ton bill must have been reported by
some committee of the senate. Sena-
tor Quay's committee is composed of
nine members, a large majority OF
whom are friendly to the admission of
all the territories "a states.
Although it is a committee which
has not had meeting for years, it is
contended that it is perfectly compe-
tent to pass on any measure referred to
it for consideration.

TWENTY LIVES LOST.
Frightful Collision on Southern Pa.
cific Near Tucson.

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 29.-About TWEEN
ty lives we're lost in head-on collision
of two passenger trains on the Southern
Pacific II miles east of here. The
trains piled up on each other and II
cars were consumed by fire from the
wrecked engines. The fire was started
by the oil tanks bursting and flashing
their inflammable contents through the
debris.
Engineers Bruce and Wilkie were
burned to death. Eight bodies have
already been found. Many more were
consul med in the flames.
The first news of the collision was
the appearance in Tucson of a tourist
car without an engine. The car broke
loose from the wrecked train, and, be-
ing on a down grade, ran all the way
to this city, where it was stopped by
striking an ND grade.

A NKENY NAM ED.
WALLA WALLA BANKER ELECT.
ED u. S. SENATOR.
Result Made Possible by the Sign.
ing of Caucus Call by Several
King County Members--.Ninety-
Nine Republicans Stand by the
Caucus Nominee OH Final Ballot

Olympia, Jan. 29.-On the thirteenth
joint ballot taken by the eighth legis-
lature Levi Ankeny was today chosen
to represent the state of Washington in
the United States senate. He received
but 80 votes out of Ill Republican
members present; Preston received 8.
and Wilson 2 votes.
AS many people as could crowd into
the legislative hall gathered to witness
the final chapter in one of the most re
markable political battles ever waged
in this state.
The action in caucus last night left
no doubt as to the result of the ballot,
but there was eager interest in the at
titude which the vanquished forces
would assume. The meeting of the
Preston supporters who did not take
part in the caucus left them free to
vote as their consciences dictated.
OF the thirty. seven men who declined
to be party to the caucus, twenty
three fell in line on the ballot, express
ing the belief that it was their duty as
republicans to bow to the will of the
ma jority, no matter how that majority
is obtained. OF the remaining four
teen, two were absent, and the others
boldly declared that the first duty of
Republicans was to keep the honor OF
the party unsullied by keeping faith
with the people, and they therefore
cast their ballots for others than Mr..
Ankeny.
Many speeches were made during the
progress of the roll call by members
who desired to explain their votes.
Some discriminating remarks were
made and feeling was at high tension,
but on the whole there was little ill.,
feeling shown. The Preston men who
took the ground that, while they for
gave and would try to forget, they
could not surrender their principles.
The Ankeny men. except Senator
Rands, did not offer to make any reply.
However, Senator Hamilton, when his
name was called, paused temporarily,
and as he stood in the aisle with
flushed face and heaving breast, listen
ing to the denuDciations of the conduct
of the campaign, it was expected that
he would make answer, but when his
name was again called at the end of
the list he simply responded with the
name of his candidate. lie was pre-
pared to reply to Senator Warburton,
who was expected to make an onslaught
on the opposition, but the speech OF
the latter was very temperate.
Olympia, Jan. 29.-I.evi Ankeny of
Wslla Walla is the caucus nominee of
hte eighth Legislature of Washington
for United States senator to succeed
Hon. George Turner. He was elected
at caucus of rs Republicans held at
$50 last evening in the temporary
meeting place of the house of represen-
tatives. His formal election will fol-
low at the next Joint session. In the
caucus he received SO votes. Senator
Harold Preston Of King county received
thirteen votes, Senator Wilson 3 and
Senator Allen 2. Senator Smith of
King county presided, and after Mr..
Ankeny had been elected Senator Van
De Vanter, also of King, moved to make
the nomination unanimous, which was
done.

Kelso to Have Electric Lights.

Kelso, Wash, Jan. 3l.-This city is
to have an electric light system in
stalled in short time. The plan has
been submitted by the Metz Single
Co., which offers to put in an electric
plant. The matter is being considered
by the residents and business men, and
it is probable the proposition will be
accepted. The service will be an all
night 32-candle power and will cost
$1.621a per light. Residences are to
be furnished with small lights at so
cents per month.

SENATOR GORMAN
AS A POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.
Cincinnati Enquirer Is Grooming Him for the
Race. His Candidacy Would Eliminate all
Issues. Arthur Pue German Has Proved
That His Only Issue is Lust for Office.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, a champion
OF Senator German, says Of its candidate
that he evaded the question as to his
willingness to accept a presidential nom.
ination, but declared that there are three
issues before the country-"t tariff reform,
economy in pabiiu affairs, and honesty
in office"
As the republicans will insist that
they, too, favor economy and honesty,
that would leave tariff reform as the only
issue, and as Senator German was chief
among the group Of senators that emascu-
lated the Wilson bill and brought rdicule
upon the party in 1894, his candidacy
would eliminate the tariff issue. But
there is another issue that should not be
overlooked by the reorganizers, namely,
that the democrats should hold the Offices.
This issue presents something definite
and tangible. A platform demanding
the offices and emitting all reference to
other questions ought to be sufficiently
general to please the men who lave been
in the habit of boiling. and. according o
their logic, it is not necessary to consider
at all the men who have been loya' to
the party.
TIE German interview is an excellent
illustration OF the aimless wandering Of
the corporation element of the party. No
policy on the question OF imperialism;
no policy on the trust question; no policy
on the money question no fight against
an asset currency or other schemes OF the
financiers, and no contest worthy OF NEIL
ton on the tariff question. 1t is impos-
sible to believe that any large number Of
democrats can indorse so lieless and
inanimate a policy. The Kansas City
platform democrats are the only demo-
Gratis who are making an aggressive fight
for democratic principles and policies.
