British Columbia Cabinet Passes Res olution Excluding Them From
 the Province.

OTTAWA, Canada, Dec. 1.-The cabinet of British Columbia today passed a resolution to bar all Hindus from the province, as they are be- coming so numerous and are. accus- toned to work for such small wage, that as a result of their competition the white laborers Of the province are being forced out of employment and driven from the coast cities.
 Much friction has been caused be- tween the Canadians and the English government because of the barring of the Hindus. who are English sub- jects, and are therefore allowed to go any place in the British empire.
 It is possible that the English gov ernment will prevent the carrying out of the exclusion of Hindus from Brit ish Columbia.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-President Wilson and Postmaster General Bur leson held conference today and it is generally predicted that the postal department will soon inaugurate a campaign to organize a telephone and telegraph system all over the United States to work in connection with the postal department.
 Postmaster General Burleson very strongly favors the project and the president is also inclined to pledge the administration strength to pol icy of government-owned and oper- ated telegraph and telephone sys- tens.
 The first intention of the Postmas- ter General to purchase the existing systems has been found impractical ble, as the cost would be prohibitive and i. is expected that by government opposition the value of the Bell sys- tenn and Western Union and the Post al systems can be so depreciated that the department will be able to pur- chase at a great reduction over the valuation now placed upon franchises and equipment.

Congressmen Davenport and Gerris Say Alaska Railroad Bill is
 Unsound Dream.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Congress- men Davenport and Gerris yesterday made minority report of the House Territorial committee, in which they denounced the l, Alaska flask! railroad bill as beautiful, but unsound," and that the expenditure of government money on a railroad from the coast to the in- terior would be 8 pdblic waste. They favored opening the resources of the territory to exploitation by private capital. and then, they asserted, the road would be built and operated by individuals just as soon as the coun- try could support the road.
 Both congressman favored the i'm mediate opening of the Alaska coal fields, which would mean the soiu- tion of the transportation problem, they claimed.
 The adverse repoAt is mostly based upon opposition to government own ership and government operation of railroads.

NEW ELECTION
 F0R MEXICO
Mexican Congress Declares October Election Null and void-New
 Election in July.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1.-The Mex ican congress, in session here yester- day, passed a resolution that the cleo tion of. October 26th was null and void and that new election be held some Sunday in July.
 The action of congress had been expected, as under the constitution Provisional President Huerta is not eligible to reelection and it has been expected that he will prevent the election of a successor as long as pos sible, thus remaining in power. Gen eral Huerta has promised the diplo- matic representative of foreign gov ernments that he will make no effort to be reelected and that his only de- sire is to establish peace in the re- public, after which he will willingly lay down the reins of government.
 Every preparation is being made here to resist the constitutiOnalists advance south, the majority of the people preferring the rule of Huerta to any rule by General Villa, who is considered the most blood thirsty reb- el in Mexico, and far worse than any bandit.
 Foreign residents of the city are strongly in favor of the Huerta gov ernment, claiming that where the fed eral troops are in control foreign res idents and property has been we'll pro tected, but that as soon as the rebel forces reach the scene the foreign CTS are forced to flee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The spe- cial committee appointed by the lower House at the special session of con gress to investigate the reports that lobbyists in Washington were active and were influencing the members of congress today reported that they had found the lobby organized and main tained by the large manufacturing in terests of the country. They recom- mended that legislation be passed to prevent lobbying and to make it a crime.
 The committee also found that the labor organizations of the country maintained large lobby at Washing ton to protect their interests, but that labor was justified in doing so and that such lobby was not criminal.
 The committee found that the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers spent thousands of dollars each month in the effort to prevent hostile legislation and to block labor legis- lation Congressmen who were obedi- ent to the association were aided in securing reelection, their compression al campaigns were financed by the association; manufacturers forced the men in their employ to vote for the candidate, while those opposed were beaten if the efforts of the agents of the association could accomplish that end

the Senate Delayed the Currency Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-During yesterdays session of the Senate Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate committee on Bank ing and Currency, charged the Re publican members of the upper House with delaying the currency bill at the special session of congress and with preventing the Democratic party from carrying out the party pledges.
 The debate between the Oklahoma senator and the Republicans who an swered him, was one of the warmest that has enlivened the Senate for many months. Owen predicted that the measure would pass at this ses sion and advised the Republicans to stand aside "If the measure is as bad as the Republican side of the House predict then it means the de- struction of the Democratic party, as far as their control of the national legislature is concerned, and therefore as the object of the Republicans is the downfall of the Democratic party the Republican members should not delay its passage" said the senator. Senator Owen predicted that the measure, with it's regional banks, would solve the present dissatisfac- tion at the control of the money of the country by Wall street and would also provide for money to quickly re- lieve any stringency that might occur during a panic

 The railroads have been the great est sufferers from the flood, which has washed out many miles of grade, de- stroyed thousands of dollars worth of perishables and dumped many of the cars of the company into the river.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-The opening gun Of the busy autumn campaign of the National Union of Women's Suf frage societies, the constitutional or ganization of the suffrag&sts. will be tred in Hhe latter part of the present nlonth in tfe~form Of concerted at tack on the constituencies of the cab inet members who oppose women's en franchisement.
 This preliminary attack will take the form of political support of cer- tain labor candidates. who expect to oppose the anti-suffrase cabinet mem bers at the next general election The government is being attacked be- cause, although it has a majority in favor of women's suffrage. it refuses to make their enfranchisement gov ernment measure. The Labor party will be assisted because it is, so far the only party which has placed wo- mems suffrage in its official platform The union itself is non-partisan, em bracing members from all the parties. but it is the considered opinion of the officials that the hand of the govern ment should be forced by opposing it's anti-suffrage adherents.
 The educational side of the cam- paign is to be concentrated on an effort to show the public quite clearly one at least of the reasons why the union desires the enfranchisement of women. This reason will be express ed in terms of the welfare of children. A program has been arranged under the general title of "The Child and the State." The campaign will be car ried on under the various heads of infant mortality, children in the schools, defective children. delinquent children. state children, employment of children, and the legal position of children.
