London, Ont, July 13.-An American
flag was torn down in front Of the city
hall, Wednesday night, and trampled
under q hundred feet as the result Of a
remark made by an American visitor
at the arrangements demonstration.
About 800 Americans came over from
Michigan, and during the day carried
the Stars and Stripes through the
streets without ~unfavorable comment
being excited. At night the Americans
were gathered In front Of the hotel,
when some one cried, "TO hell with
Canada, she never chowed us yet"
Instantly the American flag, owned by
the Port Huron (Mich.) lodge, was
torn from where it waved in the breeze
and was ripped into shreds and tram
pied under the feet of an angry mob.
Port Huron Orangemen say they did
not resent it, as they believed the in
suit to Canada was uncalled for.

MIDSUMMER influences
and Industry, Hut Reports are
Generally O~ptimisttC.

New York. July l5.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Midsummer influences still govern
general trade and industry, but better
weather and crop reports make for
quite optimistic trade reports In the
surplus cereal producing sections Of
the west. Very favorable reports as to
fall trade orders come from nearly all
points west OF the A~lleghenies, north of
the Ohio river and thence westward to
the Pacific. Large, though, except in
. few cases. not reoord-breaking crop
yields now appear reasonably assured
In that entire region. and there Is a
general agreement that fall business
already booked exceeds . year & at
this date. Less assurance Is found In
the reports from the western half Of
the south. where It Is feared serious
damage has been done by incessant
rains to cotton, wheat and other crops.
this partially offsetting the favorable
Influences q the heavy advance In the
sotton prizes.

CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW
Conference of Labor Leaders With
the President at Oyster Bay.
b President COrrccts nm Erroneous
Impression That Hal Grown Out
of His Recent Order.

Oyster Bay, N, Y, July 13.-lmmi-
grafton to the United States and its re-
lation to the labor problem formed the
subject of a conference. Wednesday
afternoon, between the president and
two Of the important leaders Of Or
ganized labor, Samuel Gompers, of
Washington, and James Duncan. of
Quincy, Mass, respectively, the presi-
dent and one Of the vice-presidents OF
the American Federation of Labor.
The conference was devoted princi-
pally to q consideration of the order
recently issued by the president regard
ing the enforcement of the Chinese eX-
clusion law. An impression had been
gained by many members of labor or
CARNATIONS that the order, to an extent
at least, let down immigration bars SO
far as Chinese are concerned. The
president assured his callers, however,
that no such construction properly
could be placed on the order, and that
he was Just as vigorously opposed to
the admission to this country of Chi
nese coolies as they could be.
1--WE directed the presidents atten-
tion,' said Mr.. Gompers, after the con-
ference. ito the Interpretation placed
by some persons on his recent order,
issued at the instance of the American
Asiatic association, concerning the ad-
mission to the United States of Chi
nese. BY many OF our people and by
many Chinese that order was looked
upon as a letting down Of the immi-
grafton bars so far as the Chinese arc
concerned. The president assured US
that no proper reading of the order
would warrant such an Interpretation;
and that nothing was further from his
intention than that such an impression
be gotten from the order.
