Consul Merki Waku is today at the
scene of the disturbance trying to inn
press upon the police to extend their
protection to Japanese residents and
at the same time suppress the utmost
excitement of the Japanese. There
may be no further disturbance.
Mr.. Ishii's hope was not fulfilled as
late last night the Consul wired the
following telegram:
Vancouver, Sept. 81 have to re-
port that fourth attack was made by
roWdies about midnight on the Jap
anese quarters. Twice again they
tried to attack Japanese stores, but
OH account of vigilance Of the Japan
ese and also the late hour Of the night
their number gradually. decreased and
by o'clock Sunday morning the
rowdies scattered everywhere and
tranquility was restored by dawn.
"The damage done to Japanese
stores was as follows: General stores

shoups 8, bath houses 2, barber shops
5, shoemahers l, newspaper Offices /,
employment offices 4, restaurants L,
rice mill 1, other shops 8. In all of
these IS stores all OF the windows and
doors were smashed. Two japanese

Consul General Moss will lay all
the facts before Premier Laurier.

3ifseH y une city is serious, and has
been rapidly growing worse. The I'M
paid claims and awards against the
city at the present time, ON which six
per cent interest must be paid, amount
to the sum of $16,OOO,ooo. Some OF
these claims are now over three and
a half years overdue, which means
that the city has paid on them 81
per cent OF interest. 1t is admitted
that if today's bond offering is a fail
ure the city will be forced to default
on many Of its contracts and probably
have to pay heavy damages, in addt-
ton to interest at the rate Of six
per cent. Bankers perceive the grav-
ity Of the situation, and it IS believed
certain that they will come to the
rescue.

,,;ss;on at st. NIary's Church..

The first week of lhe mission al 81
Mary Church will be concluded to-
morrow evening with appropriate cere-
monies. The exercises during the past
week have been largely attended ard
hundreds have received the sscFsmen's,
notwithstanding the bad weather. Toe
mission will take an unusual turn next
week. The instructions and lectures,
though highly interesting and prohtaols
to Catholics, will be directed mainly to
explaining Catholic doctrines and Gus
toms to people who are not Catholics.
An invitation ia given to all who would
like to BIO informed on these subjects, to
attend the lectures and TO put their
written queries into the question box at
the church door. There will be no abuse
of other creeds and religious opinions.
No acrimony or controversy is INDUCED
in by the lecturers. Their sole purpose
is to give clear and candid explanation
of Catholic teaching to fair minds and
honest inquirers. at is too true" said
one of the priests, "that many OF our
peop!e have erroneous conceptions OF our
religion, and az a natural result they
look upon our church with feelings oil
aversion. They sometimes unconscious,
" repeat old calumnies against her and
harbor prejudices of which they are I'M
aware. Now All honest-minded man
wants to know the facts; then he can
form more Just appreciation OF what
Others think and believe" The Gath
oIics of Alexandria have been much
benefited by the mission exercises, and
they seem to have enjoyed the sermons
preached BY the mission priests. IL is
to be hoped that during the coming
week others will derive benefit from
them. All are welcome, and the seats
are free.
