TURN oRIENTALs BACK.
Mayor Said They Were In Danger and
Ship Was Afraid to Land.

Vancouver, B. C.-Mayor Bellevue
OF Vancouver warned the captain
of the steamer Monteagle, which
has on board ia Japanese, 149
Chinese and 941 Hindus destined for
this port, that he would be unable to
guarantee a safe landing, because the
u%nionists have expressed their deter
mination to resist the immigration of
any more Asiatic laborers.
The steamship authorities feared to
assume the risk, and the vessel has
been turned back to Victoria, where
the Asiatics will be landed.
Two Cinnamon, while passing along
one of the main streets, saw a
white baby sitting on a door
step. They snatched it up and threw
it into the middle of the street, which
was busy with traffic. 1t fell among
the hordes Of feet and narrowly es-
capped death. It was only slightly
bruised.
An angry crowd started in pursuit.
The Chinese had a good start and es-
capped. The fact that no arrests have
been made has not tended to allay
the temper of the people.
The city council prohibited a wrest-
ling match which was to take place
between a white mar and a Japanese.
The entire Japanese colony had bought
tickets for the encounter and trouble
was threatened.

tragedy running rapidly towards a
small foot bridge, whence the blood
hounds went when they caught the
scent.

in her hand the burglar was in the
kitchen in the dark. She heard the
man and fired in is direction. Both
bullets fired by the woman were found
in the wall of the Kitchen.

Provides for a Council In Every DID,
cese to Combat Popular "Er.
rors."-Provisions Of
Encyclical.

Rome-The Observatory Romano,
important encyclical of Pope Plus
X. on Modernism" which really
is a completion of his recent
syllabus. The document sets forth
that modernism is a serious danger
TO the church. refers in detail to the
various features of modernism, con
dennis it as dangerous in philosophy,
faith, theology, history, criticism and
reforms, and arrives at the conclusion
that modernism is a synthesus of all
heresy and must logically lead to
atheism.
Provisions Of Encyciical.
The encyclical makes the following
provisions:
1. The teaching of philosophy, pos
itive theology, ETC., is to be carried on
in the church, schools and universe
ties, but in a Catholic spirit.
2. Modernists are to be removed
from professorships and the direction
of educational institutions.
8. The clergy and faithful are not
TO be allowed to read modernis. pub
locations.
4. A committee of censorship is to
be established in every diocese to pass
upon the publications which the cler-
gy and faithful shall be permitted to
read.
The encyclical has caused a stir
throughout Europe, and is regarded by
far the most important issued during
the present pontificate. 1t is regarded
in some circles as liable to GUS as
much controversy and discussion as
the famous PRONUNCIATION of the dogma
of the immaculate conception by Pope
Plus TX.
S. The encyclical of the late Pope
Leo XIII. prohibiting the clergy from
assuming direction of publications
without their bishops permission and
providing for supervision of the work
of ecclesiastical writers is confirmed.
6. Ecclesiastical congresses except
on rare occasions, are prohibited.
Z. A council is to be constituted in
every diocese to combat modern err
rors.
