IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
 SERIOUS FOR ENGLAND
The Questions For Two Reasons More Serious There Than in the United States.

London. Jan. 2.-England is expe- riencing what might be called an all most startling awakening to the grave problems caused by the immigration of Asiatics to it's white colonies. The principal topic for a week has been the situation in the Transvaal where several thousand East Indians and Chinese were given the alternative of submitting to what they consider d degrading system Of administration or be imprisoned or expelled.
 Reports Of further racial rioting in Vancouver came at a particularly in- Opportune time on account of the ne- gotiations now under way between Canada and Japan. They are very annoying to the British government officials who had hoped that the Jap anese willingness substantially to re- strict emigration would soften the anti-Japanese prejudices on the Pa cific coast. IL is recognized that the race question is more serious for Great Britain than America for the Indians are British subjects and the Japanese are allies.

 Lauck is outspoken in the belief that the war department asks much more of the National Guard than it does of the regular army. He expressed much displeasure at the way in which the staff officers of the Guard have been prevented from taking an active part in the joint maneuvers with the army forces and he seemed to think that a division of the Guard at this time would be unfair. while expressing a de- sire to assist the government in any way possible to man the coast defenses without breaking into the militia ranks.

The Latest Vancouver Outbreak of No
 Significance.

Vancouver. F. C.. Jan. 2.-There is no excitement either in the oriental quarters or throughout the city over the stabbing of three members of the fire department by Japanese. It is considered that the affair was prima- rily an accident due to the New Years celebration and was inflamed by a mistake on the part of the Japanese who fancied that the firemen were attacking them, whereas one white man only fell against a window and broke it. No reprisals against the Japanese are expected unless Frost. one of the wounded firemen. should die, but this does not seem probable.
