the Lady Washington both anchored
In Nootka sound until the next spring,
returning to Boston on August 10, 1890.
II should be remembered that at this
time there were many adventurous
navigators who were eager TO discover
this passage, which for a century had
been supposed TO exist. The Hudson's
Bay company, which held the crowns
charter granting it exclusive right TO
trade In the whole Of interior and
western North America above the
Spanish possessions, discouraged any
attempts to find this passage from the
Hudson's bay Side, and the nayigators
made search for 1t on the Pacific coast,
Capt. James Cook, the most famous
British navigator of his time, had
sailed only eight days after the deciar-
alton OF American independence, in the
hope Of discovering the imaginary pas
sage. On the 18th Of January, 1878, he
discovered the Hawaiian islands, which
be named the Sandwich islands, in
honor Of the first lord Of the admiralty.
Resuming his eastward course, Capt.
Cook encountered the coast Of "New
Albion" otherwise Oregon, near the
forty-fcurth parallel far south 81 the

entering trade; here he p~rospered with
rapidly, because he kept his place inn
maculate, his goods shining, and sold
cheap. John, that he might prosper and
that he might be "assimilated, set to
work to learn better English than the
pidgin. To be sure, he was a bit
crafty in this, put on a pious mein and
learned without money and without
price, and very pleasantly, from lovely
United States Sunday school ladies'
but have we not instances of Yankee
shrewdness equal to this, instances we
have taken a certain pride in? John,
in his desire to prove himself capable
of developing the country's resources,
delved away II and Is hours a day at
worked-out gold mines, with the result
that persisteney and ferret eyes some
times built up q fortune. Then John,
still trying to be American tucked his
shirt in his trousers, put on a silk hat,
thought to be a man among men. And
how were these efforts rewarded? Our,
author replies thus: New and special
laws were passed which did not apply
to the white men. The Chinaman was
taxed and then taxed again; he was
arrested and fined and refined; he was
imprisoned and abused, and lied about;
the police dubbed and killed him; the
rough stoned and murdered him; even
the little boys and the women annoyed
and prosecuted him. The laws Of ex-
pulsion and exclusion were passed"
An amended act Of 1884 declares that
from and after the passage Of this act,
and until the expiration Of ten years
after, the coming Of Chinese laborers
to the United States be suspended. AL
lowance was given for the return to
this country of Chinese that had had
previous residence and had obtained
certificates, but this was later pronib-
tied, In the act of 1883. Chinese Off
cials, students, teachers and travellers
were given perbmission to enter on
condition that they held certificates
made out by the United States dlplo-
matte representative In China or the
proper consular agent. In 1894 a con-
yention between the United States and
the empire of China continued for o
period of ten years the restriction Of
Chinese, and added to these restric-
lions, and stipulated that Il. six months
before the expiration Of the ten years,
neither government should have for
maily given notice OF Its final termina-
ton to the other, 1t should remain In
full force for another ten years. At
the present moment negotiations are

When the powers began their inva-

and treaty-making ensued with bewil-

slow-moving land. There was the
opium war with Great Britain (begun
in 1910 and lasting two years. at the
expiration of which the British had

States took a bit of a part. Commo-

apace, the hordes of coolies became a

part taken by America toward their ex-
clusion is we'll known.
While anyone car easily see the la

or at least get a different point Of view.
Hiram s, Maxim, writing in the Fort

Johns t~ireless industry made the

against Chinese cheap labor, the
Chinese were discredited right and

In spite of the assertion that this

the mannish waist look too plain by
contrast. Not that the other style is
necessarily fussy; by no means, the
better class of these waists is anything
