KUnER|5 JAPANESE
SICK and SUFFERING

The latest reports from the Japanese
who were successful in getting on
board the Kumeric for the purpose OF
seeking the new Ell Dorado in the
Northwest, are not of a most brilliant
nature. The advices state that they
are having a hard time of it. Very
few of them have obtained employ
ment after landing and over 500 are
living on the bounty of their fellow
countrymen. To make matters worse,
sickness has broken out among the
emigrants. The arrival Of SO many
japanese laborers has had tendency
to reduce the wage schedule, and such
a move is not taking well with the
Japanese who have been in the North
west for some time. A protest from
the japanese Associations in the
Northern Canadian City has been re-
ceived by Consul General Saito. 1t is
given below:
Much trouble is caused by the COM
ing of Hawaiian japanese in such
large number at once. Not enough

them and about 500 per sent from

newcomers have been taken down with

There has been one death and two of
the cases are serious There is not
proper accommodation here for those
sick and there is suffering in conse-
quence. The demand for labor is linz
ited and the majority of the Kumeric
Iaborers have not yet secured work.
Wages are being depressed in conse-
nuence of the big influx of laborers, to
the disadvantage of the resident Japa-
nese. We hope you will exert your ut
most efforts to prevent the further

at this period, wants to be the big fig

cate that the Administration already
is taking steps to check the influence
of Senator Crane in his own State, and

stated that patronage is being dis
pensed with the end mentioned in

The junior Senator, it is reported,
has felt the alleged slight put upon
him in patronage matters, and appre-
ciates the reasons and intends to fight
back.

STOOD AT THEIR POST.

San Francisco, July 23.-One tragic
aftermath of the wreck that sent SO
many of the passengers and crew OF
the Columbia to their deaths occurred
yesterday afternoon at the home of
Chief Engineer John f. Jackson, when,
during a recital of the agony of the
Saturday night ocean tragedy, the vet
eran broke down and cried like a
child In a voice that could not con-
ceal his emotion, Jackson told how he
gave the order that send more than
half his men to their death in the yes
sells hold. He told how they respond
ed to man to his order to go below
to their stations, although they knew
that death might be in wait. His ac-
count of the actions of the obscure
lnen of the engine-room and stokehole
throws vivid light upon the sublime
ly heroic sacrifice offered and made By
them and their officers.
Jackson's account gives a lightning
glimpse of the scene tween decks and
is complete save for one detail. He
does not tn of his own actions at that
time The chief leaves it for others
to say how, after giving his order to
his men to go below, he led the way
and with his officers scrambled
through engine and boiler-rooms di-
recting his men until Captain Dorans
order took the fortunate ones to the
open air. He does not say how, in the
rush to his command of a lifeboat, he
stopped to throw his coat about SUI
fering, freezing woman and bore her
to the boat. These actions are left for
others to tell and for. the little wife
who has been anxiously awaiting his
return home. to recount.

or less in the nature of an experiment,
which, if it proves satisfactory, may
lead to the organization of similar bu-

has two assistants. The preliminary
