cured by This
Nation.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The great middle
west will control the trade of the en-
tir west coast OF South America
when the Panama canal is completed,
providing the deep waterways from
the lakes to the gulf is constructed
Otherwise 1t will be Japan, Germany
and England which will exercise com
mercial sway over this vast empire
to be opened up"
This statement was made Sunday by
John Barrett, director Of the I1terna-
tional Bureau of American Republics,
who has been in Chicago for several
days comforting with men interested
ir the deep waterway proposition. It
is his contention that the federal gov.
eminent should lend all the aid neces-
sary for the construction of this ship
canal to make the great advantages
Of the Panama canal available to the
Mississippi valley. Mr.. Barrett said;
1T is not excessive to estimate the
value Of products which these repub-
les will then be purchasing from for.
eign countries at 100000, 900.
"The major portion of these cup
plies will come from America II the
great manufacturing centers Of the
middle vest are provided with water
transportation. 1t requires no stretch
of imagination to conceive boats or
barges loaded in Chicago, Joliet or
other points in this manufacturing dis
trict making the entire trip, America
has been slow to improve its water
ways, much more so than any otherA
of the great powers, and 1t is time weN
swoke to the advantages to be OBJ
taire1."

CANS HOLDS CHAMPIONSHIP
he Defeated ASPIRATIONS Of Jimmy
Britt In Five Rounds.
II Was Plainly Evident From the Start
That He Had No Chance
to Win.

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-A left
swing to the body, cleverly blocked
by Joe Cans, cost Jimmy Britt any
chance he might have had to win the
lightweight championship Of the
world Monday and brought to close
five rounds Of fast fighting witnessed
by a crowd of $4,000 people at Recre-
alton park. The blow caught by Cans
on his elbow was struck in the middle
of the fourth round. It broke Britt's
wrist and though he went on again In
the fifth round, he was helpless in
both ofrense and defense. 1t was not
until this round that he informed his
seconds of the mishap.
The fight while 1t lasted was slug
ging match but 1t was perfectly evil
dent to every trained observer that
Britt had no chance to win from the
negro For the first time in his life
he was outmatched.
Britt's lack Of GOODNESS was partly
responsible for the miserable ending
Of the fight. From the first tap of
the gong he appeared over-eager. He
was not content to take the advice
shouted to him by his seconds to
make Cans do the leading, but he
rushed headlong into quarters that de-
veloped an inevitable smuggling match
in which the champion had by far the

Is supposed to represent the extreme
view in naval development favor either
the division Of the present magnificent
feet under Admiral Evans command
or the creation Of another feet In or.
der that there may be a formidable
American navy in both oceans-the
Atlantic and the Pacific. On the con-
trary, 1t Is regarded at the navy de.
partment as better policy to maintain
one perfectly equipped and well drilled
fleet fr to move speedily to any part
Of the globe at short notice and the
present plans contemplate the increase
of the strength of the existing Atlantic
feet from IS to 20 battleships. This
will afford command as large as can
be properly directed by any one officer
and 1t will moreover about mark the
capacity Of the ports and dry docks in
any particular section Of the world. So
1t is asserted positively at the depart
ment that there is not the least inten-
ton Of keeping the battleships which
will go to the Pacific permanently in
those waters. That feet, 1t is added,
will surely return to the Atlantic sea-
board after 1t has fulfilled its mission
and demonstrated the feasibility of
safely transferring such a vast naval
force between oceans.

ed From the Swarp,ing Cheap
Labor Of the Orient.

London, Sept 1).--The attack on
the Japanese and Ci;ntse 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' whep
the outbreak of much violence oc.
currcd there. They are now confront
ed with more serious situation IN a
British colony and apparently are at
loss what to say. The majority re
main silent. The Times. whose cor
respondent severely and repeatedly
denounced the San Franciscans' action
towards the japanese, is the only
morning paper commenting on the Ca
nadians demonstration. The paper
deplores that 1t is not at present OBJ;
vious how a permanent amelioration
of the situation is to be effected" at
tributes the troubles entirely to labor
union agitation, and ridicules the idea
that few thousand Japanese are like
ly to turn British Columbia into Mon
golian province.
The Pail Mall Gazette. the only af
ternoon newspaper to express an
opinion on the subject. takes direct
ly opposite view, saying:
1.-THE Asiatic makes his entry into
Canada under the auspices of the
Great God Of cheapness. He comes
with an offer to take work at half the
rate or less than paid for white mems
labor, an arrangement which, none the
less can be carried out on basis
which involves a great advance upon
the scale Of remuneration enjoyed in
his own country. In competition Of
this character the caucasian believes,
and all economic reasoning seem to |
support him, that his own standards |
of life are certain to be depleted and
destroyed"
Continuing the Pail Mall Gazette
points out that the Bellingham and
Vancouver outbreaks show that pop
ular animosities of the racial type are
not necessarily the outcome of mere
wanton, unprovoked depravity," add
ing:
ut can scarcely occur to the home

pansive effort on the part of the
populations Of the Far East

result Of the disorders Saturday ant
Sunday evening the situation here
with regard to the Asiatics is increas
Ing In menace. The Japanese have
notified Chief OF Police Chamberlain
that police protection is inadequate
and they will take steps to protect
themselves. The Chinese and Japan
csc employed in hotels and restau'
rants have withdrawn from work. II
ls said that the leaders have instruct
ed them that they must not work un
der penalty Of 800. The Japanese
are purchasing firearms and the as
pect OF affairs is threatening. The
steamer Monteagle, due to arrive
Wednesday or Thursday with many
Orientals on board, will be met by o
hostile demonstration. 1t is freely de-
clared that the Orlentals will not be
allowed to land. There is growing
uneasiness In the city. The feelins
Is increasing, that in view Of the
number Of Japanese, Chinese and Hin
dus in Vancouver, the minister Of
militia should take steps to protect
them. Several restaurant keepers
Monday morning met and resolved to
employ nothing but white labor.
The early reports Of the disorders
Saturday night were exaggerated. The
crowd amounted to about 10000, but
the temper manifested was merely
bOlsterous. The crowd surged through
the streets in Oriental quarters cheer
Ing everything white and hooting and
denouncing everything colored. AT
intervals from an indistinguishable
point in the crowd, brick bats would
hurtle over the Intervening heads and
crash through the windows.

Later, the order regarding the trunch-

The police and populace come to
blows.
Personal encounters were limited to
he Japanese quarters. The Japanese
'esisted, arming with knives, daggers,
clubs and bottles. They charged the

The crowd carried no arms and
