Portland, Ore, Jan. A despatch
to the Oregonian from Vancouver, B.
c., says:
The unexplained arrival of 800 Jap
anese at Vancouver Friday and the
influx of 1 500 within the next month
from Honolulu, are features of tho
Oriental situation in Vancouver.
The 800 came from the coast log
gfng camps and some even from the
American side of the boundary line.
Friday night there was the usual
crop of rumors that they came in
view Of the possible troubles officers
of the Asiatic Exclusion League are
much perturbed over the event.
Friday it was announced that at
least / 900 Japanese would come from
Hawaii during the next three weeks.
One steamer, already chartered. will
leave Honolulu with $50 aboard for
Vancouver next week. Charters are
now being arranged to carry others.
Then, too, all the accommodations of
the steamers of the Canadian-Austra-
lian line have been secured six months
ahead of the japanese Of Honolulu.
There is room in the steerage for only
fifty by each steamer.
Of course, technically, the pater-
nal government cannot do anything to
prevnt the coming of these Japanese

are free will agents once. they have
turned in their passports at the
islands, and there is really nothing
to prevent them inflicting their pres
ence on this outpost of Great Britain,
the ally of Japan.
So far, no action has been taken
by the police authorities toward the
disarming OF the japanese.
1t is estimated that there are hun
drods of serviceable firearms in the
Japanese section.

fishing a flat rate of two and half
