THE ORIENTAL SITUATION.
Much Speculation Over officials Visit
in British Columbia.

Special Dispatch to The Star
VANCOUVER. b. c., September 23.-The
presence of r. l. Borden, leader Of the op-
position in British Columbia, for the os-
tensible purpose of looking into the ~iatic
immigration problem has given rise TO
much speculation concerning the political
aspect of the oriental situation. Sir Will
frid Laurer's reply to the labor congress
refusing to exert any pressure on the i'm
peTial government 10 have the japanese
treaty abrogated has been received here
with something IF a sensation and has -
tensified the feeling.
1t is openly said that IL Borden now
takes the position uncompromisingly
against oriental immigration he will sweep
the west from Thundereru bay, at the head
of the Canadian lakes, to Vancouver. The
three prairie provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta are now largely
affected by the presence OF the orientals,
since so many Japanese and Cinnamon have
passed over the mountains to the east. The
labor of all four provinces is equally af-
fected, and the big railroad contracts are
being rapidly filled with oriental labor.
The charge now openly made that W. T.
r. Preston the Dominican government
agent in Japan, is openly promoting the
movement of Japanese into British Column
bia is arousing vast hostility on the coast
to the liberal government of Canada.

American proposition in its entirety and
without further discussion. or to reject 1t,
in which latter case as the American
commission understands, the peace nego-
tiations will end and the protocol of Wash

bringing upon Spain all the horrors of war
In order to avoid them it resigns itself 20

and as Spain lacks material means to de-
fend the rights she believes are hers, hav-
ing recorded them. she accepts the only
terms the United States offers her for the
concluding OF the treaty of peace
Not Accepted as Compensation.
1t will be thus seen that while Spain re-
ceived the S2O, ,poO, 600, it was never accept
ed by her as a compensation for the loss
of the Philippine Islands. and while the
United States paid the $20,oO0O0D, 1t was
paid to remove number of claims by the
government of Spain, not the greatest or
which by any means was the cession of the
Philippine Islands. 1t may then be safely
stated that the object OF this payment of
$50 OshD 600 is Clearly. and with as much ac-
Curacy as il is possible to state the case, set
forth in the act of Congress which appro-
priated the SO 900 COO ii was 10 pay GER

them the proposals to amend the con-
stitution for the reorganization of the
states judiciary system, for the cleo
ton of assemblymen by districts in
stead of by counties and for the Sc
lection by the voters of candidates
