Says Whites Are Aroused.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept, 12.-The Domin-
lon government is keeping in close
touch with the situation at Vancou-
YER The situation is causing the
government much anxiety, and the
premier is giving his personal atten-
ton to the details of bringing about
peace and adjusting the differences
which have developed.
Nothing less than CONSERVATION has
resulted from an interview published
and credited to Mr. Mcpherson, M. p,
from Vancouver, who is here to see
the premier on the Japanese question.
Il am merely presenting to the pre-
mier the facts in the case as l am in,
formed by telegraph said Mr., Nc
Pherson. British Columbia must be
a white mans country. The majority
of the residents are utterly opposed
to throwing open the doors 10 Asiatics.
If the government does not put a stop
to the already humilating condition
of affairs there will be another little
episode like the one which occurred
in Boston Harbor when the tea was
thrown overheard"
Mr. Mcpherson cheerfully said he
realized the serious import of his
statement.

Vancouver, B. O., Sept. 1.-THE city
officials are taking every precaution
to prevent further rioting and dem
onstrations against the Japanese, Chi
nese and Hindus, and are following in
structions from Earl Grey, the gov
ernor-general at Ottawa, who commu
nicated to Mayor Bethunue that he
hoped peace would be re-established
promptly, and that all offenders
against the subjects of the emperor
of Japan, the friend and ally of His
Majesty, the King, would be punished
The note made no mention of Chinese
and Hindus, although, of course, they
are included in the instructions for
protection.
Japanese are entering the city by
hundreds, coming from logging camps,
canneries, hotels and restaurants.
They are holding meetings in their
quarter in the city, and their attitude
threatens great trouble If rioting is
renewed. They have become so bold
as to notify the city authorities that il
any more Japanese property is burned
they will retaliate by firing the entire
city. The Chinese. they state, are
with them in this resolve.
The parade, which the Japanese
daringly planned, and which was to
impress the people of Vancouver with
their strength. was called OF only
after Consul Morikaws, with great diff
ficulty, persuaded the Japanese that
the step would be imprudent in every
way and would result in bloodshel.
The Japanese at first shouted that
they would welcome such result, but
finally they were persuaded to aban-
don their plans.
Notwithstanding the orders Of the
city officials that no firearms shall be
sold, the Japanese and Chinese have
