1here IS possibility of world trouble
back of the antiOriental riot in Brit
ish Columbia this week. The State
Department takes that view of it and
is watching the developements with
much more Interest es to the effect on
the Anglo Japanese entente than for
their mere result in British Columbia.
The dispatches from the northwest
show that last Saturday night there
was an outbreak of race rioting at
Bellingham, B. c., when a number of
Hindoos living there were driven over
into the United States. This was fol-
lowed by general anti oriental out
breaks at Vancouver and other points.
Now of course this is serious enough,
for no nation likes to see its subjects
mobbed in another country, but Great
Britain is the ally on paper of Japan
and will have to explain the occurrence
much more thoroughly than would
some country not so closely connected.
At the same time the people of Van
couver do not display any chastened
spirit. In fact the mayor of the town
has refused to apologize or consider an
indemnity. This is likely to strain
the relations between Great Britain
and Japan and between England and
British Columbia. And if this state
of affair arises, it will be time to look

was the case, and the American Rifle
