BREAKS OCCURRING IN BRITISH
TERRITORY.
TOXIC, September lin face of
the Vancouver outrages, complete de-
tails of which were published here only
today, pail of silence has fallen upon
those circles in which was the most
active anti-American agitation, follow
ing the lesser troubles in San Fran
cisco.
Agitators who sought to hold the
entire American nation responsible for
the actions of California mobs are
stunned by the far greater outrages
committed on British soil.
The yellow press which endeavored
to magnify the San Francisco troubles
into an international complication
calling for the dispatch of warships
to the American coast, has nothing to
say now it is demonstrating the mimi
cal feeling toward the Japanese is even
more bitter under the flag of their be-
loved ally. Even Count Ol1uma re-
mains silent.
