VANCOUVER, b. c., September 12.-I
Although Tho city Is comparatively
quiet to-day and many Cinnamon have
returned to work, there is still grave
apprehension that the scenes of the
unti-Orien.a, riots may be repeated.
The return Of a good many OF the for
eigners TO their usual occupations. In
stead of presaging peaceful attitude,
has tho opposite effect This Is be-
cause of the marked spirit of defiance
with which the Orientals have resumed
their labors, They have gone back
to the factories and other places be-
cause they feel they have right to
work, AMI they defy the whites to pre-
vent them from doing so.
Many little incidents are continually
happening in the streets OF the city
which show the deep-rooted animosity
between the unionists and the brown
men. There is tenseness in the air
everywhere which only needs a little
stronger Gemonstration Of union hos
tilities to be broken aud reopen the
dreaded race war.
Reaist Asiatic Immigration.
Mayor Bethune warned the captain
Of tho steamship Monteagie, which has
on board ia Japanese, li3 Cinnamon
and gil H:ndus. that he could not
guarantee him safe landing at this
port The unionists have expressed
their determination to resist the immi-
grafton of any more Asiattc laborers.
The steamship authorities deemed 1t
wise to heed the Mayors warning, and
the Monteagie was turned back to Vic
toria where the Asiatics were landed.
Th, immigrants will have to take their
own chances of getting across TO Van
couEcr.
Two other ships, the Indiana and the
woolwich, both carrying Asiatics. are
cNpected econ, and trouble Is feared If
tnty try to land their passengers here

Bethune with sfo6 contribution. Is
being raised to transport any Hindus
or other Asiatics who may be landed
iere from the various steamships max
ing this port. The subscription list
has already reached $1,000, II is said.
IL is the intention of the subscribers
To shin back to Ottawa, tho seat o. the
federal government. any of the Hindus
or Japanest or Cinnamon who arrived
on the steamship Monteagle last night
III they attempt to come to Vancouver
from Victoria.
If this plan is carried out the citizens
VIII express their indignation at the
Importation of any more foreign labor
ers by shipping them to Ottawa with
their compliments to the Federal gov
ernmcnt.
When the Monteagle landed her load
of Immigrants at Victoria every pre-
caution was taken at the wharves by
the steamship authorities. The wharves
were barricaded and roped off for a
distance of two blocks. and entrances
We're surrounded by special policemen
of the steamship company. as well as
the city police. The medical authori-
ties examined all the new arrivals, and
about 100 Hindus and several Japanese
Will be deported, because they were
found to be suffering from disease.
An attempt was made to march the
Hindus off the steamship in body last
night. but by that time an immense
crowd had collected around the sta
,ion and the officers We're afraid to
permit the Hindus to make their way
alone through the passageway in front
of the crowd and the Hindus We're
turned back to the steamship, where
they got together and chatted over the
prospects of landing. They were in
formed of the stirring events of the
past few days and plainly showed ner-
vousness. 1t was officially announced
that the Hindus would be permitted to
remain aboard ship until to-day, when
another attempt would be made to
land them
Keeping Them Homeless.
For two days the health authorities
andy deputies have been placarding

dus may not be allowed to enter. Spec
ial guards were also assigned to these
habitations.
Disquieting dispatches come from Sc

been gathering in the Oriental quart
ers for twentyfour hours, and al
though they are discreetly quiet as tc
their reason for doing SO, there is lit
tie doubt that the cause is found in tho
