Story of the Rioting.

MONTREAL, September "a special
from Vancouver to the Star says:
Saturday night the Asiatic Exclusion
League held parade and later meeting
at which Lieut.. Gov. Dunsmuir, who vetoed
the bill introduced by the present attorney
general to enforce the natal act in British
Columbia, was burned in efiigy, and reso-
luton was passed to ask the Dominion gov
ernment to allow this bill to become law.
1t was after that that the mob stormed
Chinatown. deliberately smashing the Win
dows In all stores. Street orators gathered
crowds who even swarmed up the tele-
graph poles, and a strong Gordon of police
across the street had all they could do to
keep the mob from again entering the Chi
nese quarter. AS there had been threats
of burning, the fire brigade was ready with
hose to use this method If necessary to keep
the white men back.
While the speaking was going on the
sound of breaking glass acclaimed
with Joyful yells by the hoodlums. The

blocks away in another direction, where

broken also, but the Japanese resisted, and
with bottles and boards attacked their
saiants. Several people were injured in
the counter attacks.

here he was married in 1871, standing be-
tween the two windows In the spacious
drawing room, and this has been home
to him ever since his earliest days In the
Navy. And, by the way, 1t was a very
pretty romance Of which Robley D. Evans
was the hero In the days following his
graduation from the Naval Academy
ahead of time In order that he might par
ticipate In the Civil War.
Young Evans was appointed to Annapo-
lis from Utah but he was a native Of vir-
ginia and because Of geographic sympathy
or some other reason be took to chum-
ming with boy from the District Of
Columbia,-a lad named Taylor who in
time rose to the rank of Rear Admiral.
Quite naturally this young man Invited
his friend to come home with him for a
visit and so young Evans was introduced
to the house which is now his home. Here
he met the very pretty sister of his chum.
Later the dashing Virginian became des-
perately Ill at the home of his chum and
was nursed back to health by this self
same daughter of the house. or course
the inevitable happened and there was a

Admiral Evans when he has his family
circle complete, as has been the dase
during the brief respite ere the big feet
starts for the Pacific, finds himself In
the midst Of very lively household.
Much Of the animation Is furnished by
the two grandchildren. Master Robley
Evans SewaIl, age three and one.half
years and Miss Dorothy Neville Sewali,
age two and one-half years--the children
of Admiral Evans youngest daughter.
These tots are the most remarkable
children you would hnd In days jour-
ney. Living In a house where there is
a constant stream Of visitors they are
not In the least shy with strangers and
yet oddly enough the unusual amount Of
attention bestowed upon them has not
spoiled them in the least. A unique evil
dence that familiarity breeds. ut least,
unconcern is found In the fact that the
glittering uniforms and shining swords
which are objects OF much wonder and ad-
miratlon to most children are passed all
but unnoticed by these youngsters.
I very much desired to secure a pic
ture Of young Bob Evans. as the fami-
ly all call him--relating a story to "Bob"
boSGtoeSN
only way to do 1t was to let the little
chap actually relate the anecdote and the
Admiral encouraged him to do this. Now
young bob" wears a sailor suit with
manifest pride and he sings sailor songs
with gusto but when 1t comes to story
telling his prime favorite is graphic ac-
count OF the happenings Of one momentus
day when he saw the fire department re-
spond to an alarm. When he warmed up
to the recital moreover 1t was seen that
the whole proceeding was decidedly FOO
realistic for portrayal. His little right
arm threshed the air at rate that moth
ing short Of a moving-picture machine
could have done Justice to.
There is small menagerie OF household
pets at the Evans home Conspicuous
among the number are two parrots Of the
most gorgeous plumage. Romping about
the walled garden in the rear of the
house Is the third Bob" Evans on the
domestic roster, a blooded dog presented
by Archie and Quentin Roosevelt, the

lie has never heard aught regarding the
women of his family not a few persons
have gained the impression that Admiral
Evans Is jolly old bachelor. welded to
the sea, and caring little for feminine
society. Now as a matter Of fact, there
Is Mrs. Evans, a charmingly gracious
woman Of distinguished bearing. two
daughters who inherit their mothers
beauty and charm Of manner, son who
is following In his fathers footsteps In
the navy, and last but by no means least
in this interesting household, two lively
little people who are the paramount hob
by of an Indulgeut grandfather. Mrs.
Evans comes of an old Southern family
and characteristic conservatism impelled
mother and daughters to keep out of the
white light Of publicity that has long
beat about the Admiral until finally now
that the Admiral is at the very climax Of
a notable career. a pardonably curious
public has found them out.
Any person who chats with Admiral
Evans in his own home will quickly dis
cover the officers affection for the place
and shall wonder when you are told how
intimately this square red-brick mansion
is bound up with the life story Of the

more than a local reputation for the vete-
ran servitor has looked after Admiral
Evans wants ahoat as well as ashore,
and has travelled to every part Of the
globe.
Georges most famous exploit, however.
was on memorable occasion when he
made "hit" with the Emperor of Ger
many. Admiral Evans had entertaiped
the Teuton ruler at luncheon on his iag-
ship and the War Lord had complimented
in the most extravagant terms some
Smithheld ham that was In very truth
cooked to the kings taste. The visitor
even asked an opportunity to express his
appreciation to the colored man of whose
merits he had heard from his host. Ac-
cordingly George" was summoned on
deck and Admiral Evans said, George,
the Emperor wishes to compliment you
on that ham, The Kaiser extended his
hand but the freedman, representative Of
republican America, was obviously In
blissful ignorance of the court etiquette OF
the bended knee. Stepping briskly for
ward, a broad smile overspreading his
face, George grasped the extended hand
and shaking 1t vigorously. remarked,

In discussing the history Of the house I
asked Admiral Evans If he would continue
to make 1t his home after his retirement
from active service next August. "Yes In

has large plantation down there, beau
tiful place right on the seashore and when
he planned the house he was good enough
to provide a suite of rooms for Mrs. Evans
and myself"
Then the Admiral with due ceremony
introduced George" explaining aside
that George" in effect had more pro-
prietary rights In the establishment than
any other member OF the household.

of mentioning his last name) is the faith

The celebrated Dismal Swamp of vir-

sections to come under treatment. This

land with such imperfect drainage that 1T
Is always under water to slight depth.
Near it's centre is Lake Drummond, a cir
cuIar body Of water nearly three miles
in diameter and hardly more than five
feet in depth. The lake is surrounded by
woods and In places cypress trees grow
into the water. Some marginal portions
of the swamp have been reclaimed and
furnish such excellent farming land as
to Indicate splendid results from thor

Another of our great swamps is the
Kankakee Marshes, covering about 500,-
: 900 acres. distributed over seven counties
OF Indiana. This swamp lies in a large
valley and Its existence is largely due to
the slight fall Of the ground and the tor
tuous course of the river which trayerses
1t. In its journey through Indiana, the
stream covers a direct distance OF 20
miles, but Its 1000 bends entail a course
Of 240 miles and through the entire dis
tance there is a drop of but 97 feet. The
situation Of these lands-so hear the

great difficulty.
