To DepOrt 1000 Hindus.

Beflingham-The provincial gov
eminent of British Columbia will
take immediate steps to deport 1000
Hindus, who are now without work
and penniless in Vancouver and the
surrounding towns. The Orientals
are exceedingly unpopular, are ac-
counted poor workmen and are un-
able to secure employment. They
will be proceeded against as paupers
without visible means of support.
Legal proceedings will not be nee
essary in the case of 800 men, as they
have already applied to the provin-
cial government for transportation
back to Calcutta.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company, which brought the men to
this country, has agreed to carry
them free to Hongkong.
