Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 13.-At the
arrival of the steamship Monteagle
with large number of Japanese, Chi
nese, and Hindoos on board, the cap
tain was warned by the mayor that
the authorities would not guarantee
the safety of the immigrants. In the
face of this warning the Monteagle
steamed away for Victoria
On board the Monteagle were hun
dreds of Chinese, Japanese, and Hin
docs, the latter forming the greater
part of the human cargo, and plan
to ship them back to Ottawa, with the
compliments of Vancouver, is the out
come of the recent oriental disturb
ances.
The steamship, fearing trouble,
landed nearly all of the Japanese at
Victoria. At Vancouver the dock was
roped of for two blocks and heavily
guarded by company employees and
police.
Refuse to Receive Hindoos.
Wednesday night an attempt was
made to land the Hindoos. An inn
manse crowd had gathered, and the
officials were afraid to let the Hin
docs face the crowd alone. They were
returned to the ship, with the an
nouncCment that they would stay
there until morning. They have not
yet been landed, however, and the
people say they will be sent to Ottawa
at once should they be landed
The white labor unions served 80
days notice on employers of orientals
to replace foreigners with white labor.
A refusal is to be met with strikes and
boycotts.
Citizens have made up a purse of
81, 800 to charter special train for
shipping out the Hindoos.
OrientaIs Warned to Leave at Once.
Bellingham, Wash, Sept 13.-An
anonymous letter received here warns
to leave at once. Japanese working
at the canneries are heavily armed
and say they will resist any attempt
to force them out of town. The Chi
nese, however, are not so warlike and
will not make a strong stand.
E. B. Deming, general manager Of
the Pacific American fisheries, says if
the orientals leave the salmon canning
industry is doomed, as the Japanese
are being persuaded to affiliate with
the labor unions.
Against All Asatics.
TOW M f,,S1
Laurier received a telegram from the
mayor Of Vancouver stating chat the
feeling there was against Asiatics gen.
orally and not the Japanese in particu-
lar The dispatch added the Hindoos
on board the Monteagle would not be
received.
Vancouver is infamed over an out
rage by two Cinnamon, who, 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. u fell among
the horses feet and narrowly escaped
death. Beyond being bruised it was
not much the worse.
An angry crowd started in pursuit.
The Chinese had good start and
escaped. The fact that no arrests have
been made has not tended to allay the
temper of the people.
The city council has prohibited a
wrestling match which was to have
taken place between white man and
a Japanese. The entire Japanese COL
ony had bought tickets for the encoun-
ter. and trouble is threatened
