A recent dispatch from Vancouver
B. c., says:
Having settled the Chinese prob
lem by the enforcement of a head
tax, British Columbia is now face to
face with a Hindu invasion.
Within the last three months no
less than 1000 natives of India have
settled in Vancouver, and every ship
from the Orient is rapidly bringing
hundreds more. With the arrival of
each shipload the scale of prices of
manual labor goes steadily down,
and from all parts of British Column
bia has arisen the cry for drastic
measures to dam this flood of Ori-
entail labor
Viewed from an economic stand
point, the Hindus are considered as
bad as the Chinese. They do not
possess the qualities necessary for
the making of good citizens, they
invest no money in the country, they
reduce the price of labor, and their
intention is to leave the country as
soon as they have amassed what in
their eyes is competency. Then,
again, they are a serious menace to
the health of the community, as
they are entirely ignorant of the
most common laws of sanitation.
Time and again the health officials
of Vancouver have been forced to
take active measures to prevent the
spread of disease resulting from the
dirt and filth of the Hindu quarter.
No White Immigration.
This influx of Hindu labor is the
direct result of the scarcity of la
borers on the western coast of Can
ada. AT the commencement of the
season the lumbermen of British
Columbia discovered that they could
not secure enough help, as the tide
of white immigration from the east
stopped at Calgary, Alberta, this
being as far west as the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company allowed
its colonist rates. The British inter
ests of British Columbia asked that
the rate be allowed to the coast. and
in various ways tried to secure it,
but the Canadian Pacific Railroad
company refused to listen to the de-
mands.
A few months ago the citizens of
Vancouver were surprised to see
number of Hindus walking their
streets. At first they were the OBJ
jects of curiosity and mirth, but
these feelings suddenly disappeared
when 1t was learned that the Hindus
were working in the mills and lum-

CHINA FOR CHINESE
Growth and Spread of Anti
Foreign Feeling.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

PEKING, January 27.-The boycott
against American goods continues to be one
of the most remarkable features of orient
al life. This powerful weapon invented, it
is said by the Irish during the days of
the Land League. and afterward utilized
by labor unions in all countries and all
lands, has been taken up by the Chinese
with vengeance which would be positively
humorous at times were it not in reality
economically and politically dangerous
For the boycott of American goods has
swept over China like a wave of fame 1t
might be possible to control it If it were
applied to cases isolated and individualistic,
but thousands of Chinese merchants have
met in conventions and agreed not to pur-
chase American goods, even though the
poorer classes of the Chinese might be
anxious to take advantage of cheaper
prices.
Hence 1t happens that flour shipped from
California, Oregon and the state of Wash
ington no longer completes on economic
oasis with hour from Australia and other
parts of the world. From reasons purely
sentimental the Chinese are refusing TO
touch the American goods, no matter what
the price. Hence 1t is that American trade
in the orient is taking a terrible tumble
But for the fact that American petroleum
furnished by the Standard Oil Company
figures so largely in oriental trade American
commerce would show a still greater fall
ing off. But the Standard Oil Company has
a practical monopoly, especially since the
check put upon Russian Oil production as
result of the strikes and the riots in the
Baku district. And having a, pra ctical
monopoly ii is difficult to see how even the
willy Chinaman can stop taking American

Revenge for Exclusion
One of the remarkable features about the
Chinese boycott is found in the fact that
tlol gh it is said to be in revenge fer the
exclusion of Chinese, it originated in chang
hal. whence no laborers go to the United
States. Since then it has been as keenfy
prosecuted there as in Canada, the home
of most OF the actual emigrants to America
This in itself would go long ways toward
proving that other questions entered into
the equation besides the mere matter of
emigration to the Unied Safes. And for
this very reason it has been argued that it
could not be SO much an anti-American as
an anti-foreign movement-an appeal, in
fact, to the same spirit which promoted
the growth of Boxerism. From Shanghai
1t has spread to all parts of the Chinese
empire, except Tien Tsin where the yiceroy
would have none OF IT. But 1t even had an
effect more far-reaching than in China
alone. The Straits settlement and all of
the islands in the vicinity of China have
responded to the call Of China for the

TRIAL OF BINGER HERMANN.
Prosecuting Attorneys Motion for
Continuance Overruled.

Justice Gould, In Criminal Court No. l.
has overruled the motion of United States
Attorney Baker to have the case of Repre-
sentative Binger Hermann of oregon,
charged with destroying official records
connected with the general land office. con-
tinued until October. Under the ruling of
the court the case will be called for trial
June Is. provided the Green-Doremus trial
has ended by that time.
Mr.. Baker spoke in support of the motion.
while it was opposed by Attorneys A. s.
Worthington and H. Prescott Galley. In
announcing the ruling Justice Gould said
the motion presented no legal reasons for a
continuance. Referring to the suggestion
that unless the case is postponed conflict
of the rights of the Oregon jurisdiction and
of the local jurisdiction would arise. JUS
tice Gould, while expressing every respect
for the rights of other branches of the ju
dietary, held that the District Supreme
Court should have priority in the matter AS
to the claim that the government would be
put to greater expense by an early trial, the
court held that such a consideration should
be secondary to the constitutional rights of
the defendant, who was indicted several
thousand miles from his home and who was
anxious for a speedy trial.

and in Rufus Rastus'' he is depicted as a
southern coon with a proclivity Of con-
Stantly getting into trouble and ridiculous
situations. Throughout the production,
which is put on with elaborate effect in
every detail, the comedy is wholesome and
thoroughly typical of the southern negro.
