LONDON NEWSPAPERS FIND
INCIDENT EMBARRASSING

London, Sept 9.-The attack on
the Japanese and Chinese at Vancou-
yer places the English newspapers IN
an embarrassing and amusing posi-
ton. Several of the most prominent
of them were particularly severe upon
the San Francisco "hoodlums' wheh
the outbreak of such violence occur
red there. They are now confronted
with a more serious situation in .
british colony and apparently are at
a loss as to what to say. The ma
iority remain silent. The Times
whose American correspondent Sc
verely and repeatedly denounced the
san Francisco action toward the Japa-
nese. Is the only morning paper COM
menting on the Canadians demonstfa-
ton. The paper deplores the fact
that II is not at present obvious now
a permanent amelioration of the sit
uatlon Is to be effected, and attributes
the troubles entirely to labor union
agitation and ridlcules the idea that a
few thousand japanese are likely :"
turn either British Columbia or Call
fornia into Mongolian provinces.
The Pail Mall Gazette, the only at
ernoon newspaper to express an opil'
ion on the question, takes a directly
opposite view, saying the Asiatic
makes Ills tuAig iiAO
the great god OF cheapness. He comes
with the offer to take work at hall
rate or less than that paid for white
mems labor. an arrangement which,
nevertheless. can be carried out on
a basis which involves a great advan-
tage over the scale of remuneration
enjoyed In his own country. In COM
petition of this character the eau
casian believes, and all economic rea-
sonng seems to support him, that his
own standards of life are certain Ia
be reduced and destroyed.
Continuing, the Pail Mall Gazette
points out that the Bellingham and
Vancouver outbreaks show that popu-
lar animosities Of the racial type are
not necessarily the outcome OF mere
wanton, unprovoked depravity add
Ing. ut can scarcely occur to home
keeping Englishmen how slight eX-
pansion of effort on the part OF thu
swarming populations of the far east
would suffice to swamp the western
states and provinces of the American
continent.
Referring to British Columbia, with
only per cent Of its territory popu'
lated, the Gazette said: "If an unre.
strieted flood of Asiatics We're allowed
to occupy the vacant habitable area
It would require but few years C
produce an oriental predominance II
the far western possessions of the
British empire, and perhaps deflec
the whole course Of It's civilization and
destiny"

CANADA EXPECTS TO
APOLOGIZE AND LIQUIDATE

ottawa, Ontario. Sept 9.--GeneraI
opinion in official circles is that Cana
da will have to pay damages and
apologize to Japan for the damages
caused by the Vancouver riots to the
property of the Japanese resident In
that city. Regret is expressed that
the outbreak should have taken place
at time when the Japanese immigra-
tion question was all but solved be-
tween the government of Canada and
that of Japan.
Hon. R. w. Scott, secretary Of
state. in an interview, said that the
treaty between Canada and Japan,
ratified by the Canadian parliament
at its last session, was perfectly clear
as to the rights of Japanese in Can
ada. The treaty says:
Subjects of each of the two high
contracting parties shall have full lib
erty to enter, travel or reside in any
part of the dominion and possessions
Of the other contracting party, and
shall enjoy full and perfect protection
of their persons and property
N"This treaty was not adopted in a
hurry" said Secretary Scott 1T was
in force between Great Britain and
Japan ten years before we became a
party to 1t. 1t was given full consid-
Grafton before we accepted it. Oppo-
sition in parliament prevented us from
becoming a party to it earlier than
we did. There was no protest from
British Columbia or anywhere else
against it. British Columbia benefits
now and will benefit still further as
time goes on by the trade between
Canada and Japan. But at all events,
Canada ratified the treaty and passed
a statute to that effect at the last ses-
sion of parliament. The dominion gov
ernment has made great progress in
the direction of making amicable
agreement with Japan restricting
Japanese immigration 20 about 500
each year. no matter from where they
come from, and 1t is hoped here that
the disturbance will in no way inter-
fere with these negotiations"
The situation which eliminated in
the riots at Vancouver on Saturday
and Sunday has been causing the Do
minion authorities much uneasiness
ever since the heavy influx of Jap
anese immigrants began, shortly after
the conclusion of the war with Rus
sia. This immigration, reinforced by
that from British India, assumed
such large proportions as to seriously
threaten the labor situation on the
Pacific coast or Canaua anu prouBht
about the organization of the so-called
Asiatic league, which demanded the
lenaction of a law similar in terms to
that in force in the United States in
/ the case of Chinese. This law was
/ enacted at. the last session of the
provincial parliament of British Co
! lumbia. but was vetoed by the lieu
tenant general. The eXclusionists inn
mediately appealed to the Dominion
parliament to put the law into effect
over the governors veto. No action
has as yet been taken on the petition

THE PIPER
INDEMNITY BASED ON
EGYPTIAN PRECEDENT
Cabinet Meeting at Paris De-
cideS to Request Information
al Commission to Fix Amount
of Damage Bill


Paris Sept "a special meeting
Of the cabinet was held today for the
purpose Of considering the Moroccan
situation. The following conclusions
were reached:
"The Moroccan government should
be held responsible for the massacres
of July 80 at Casa Blanca, as well as
for the damages as the result of the
pillage of the town, and also for the
expense attached to the expeditions
landed for the restoration of order.
Second, that the amount of the in
demnity should be fixed by an inter-
national commission"
These conclusions are based on the
precedent established after the bonn
bardment of Alexandria by the Brit
ish fleet in 1882.
The cabinet requested Foreign Min
lister Pinchon to examine the general
question of Morocco and prepare a
note on the subject as soon as pos
sible.

convicted of illegal grazing of cattle
i'm the national forest reserve of the
Black Hills, .was fined 500 by Judge
Garland in the federal court here to-
day and upon its payment Bale was
released. Considerable interest at
tached to this case because it was
the first Of the kind in this district.
Bales defense was that there was no
intentional wrong doing, that he was
unable to prevent his stock from get

had no right to delegate authority to
the secretary of the interior to make
regulations requiring a permit BE-
taken out for grazing.
