SHUTS OUT IMMIGRANTS.
Canada Has Checked Influx Of For
eigners TO Her Domain.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 18.-That the
restrictions adopted by the Canadian
government to prevent an influx Of
cheap labor from Europe and the
Orient have been successful is shown
by figures compiled by the immigra-
tion authorities for the first six
months Of this year.
During this period the number Of
arriving in Canada was
96,119, as compared with 169,419
during the first six months Of 1907,
a decrease Of 43 per cent. Very few
Asiatics have been admitted this year.
The immigration from the United
States, largely farmers who settle in
the undeveloped regions Of the west,
shows a slight gain, and the Canadian
Is doing everything in its
power to increase this class Of immi-
grafton.
