TANNED NEAR VANCOUVER
PENDING ORDERS.

Special TO the World.
New Westminster, April 21.-Do-
tanned at White Rock immigration Of
flee for over twenty -four hours and
then refused ndmittance into Canada
was the fate Of party of thirty
negro immigrants who landed at the
boundary on Thursday The order
for deportation Is not permanent and
II the party can show that they are
free from contagious disease they will
probably DO admitted,
The party halls from Guthrie, Lo-
gan County oklahoma, and accord
ing to their leader are the advance
guard Of large number of the col-
orcd race who will trek north during
the coming summer, Peter Jackson
the loader states that conditions are
becoming go ntolerable and the rae
ial feeling so strong that they have
decided 60 leave and the report or this
advance party win probably mean an
influx of blacks into this country, al
ready ovcrrm with nations of all
colors and creeds
the negroes have immigrated In a
large party, and the government Of
ficcrs are In quc-dory as to what
course 10 pursue Il present there Is
no open objection 10 the colored race,
| but large influx would certainly
cause some trouble. Financially tho
party is well fixed They have sold
their farms in the south country and
are we'll able 10 take care OF them
selves for time The only objcc-
ton that can be made Is by the medi-
/ cal health officer According to the
leader this was anticipated, and only
| healthy people were allowed to ac-
company the first party,
They have no definite point In view
for settlement but viii probably take
up land If admitted IN a place at n
figure which theE can raise. The
party Travelled IN n special car and
received n rate form Guthrie to Van
couver. As there are only members
Of six families I'm tho party II is prob
able that II few are refused admit
tance the whole party would not enter.
Whether they would travel back to
the Southern states or settle I'm Ore
gon or Washington state could not be
learned
In the central provinces Of the Do
minion large number Of negroes

settlers. Letters Of protest have been
sent TO the department OF the interior

tlons Of the immigration authorities
