In the debate in parliament on the amendment to the Cape Scott & Comox railroad bill excluding Chi- nese and Japanese from employment on the road, Mr. Bell, of Prince Edward Island, said: “It would be contrary to our in- terests to do what would be con- strued as an act of hostility by the people of either country, and this house ought to hesitate before com- mitting itself to an act which would involve a policy of hostility against any country with which we have trade relations, and with which we hope to have better trade relations in the future. “There is another reason. The Canadian Pacific railway has been built across this country largely by Chinese labor. At any rate, its construction has been expedited by Chinese labor. All the railways across the American continent have been built largely by Chinese labor. These Chinese, say what you ‘ike about them,have been a great bene- fit to this continent, and, I think, it-would be ungrateful on our part, not to recognize the benefit these people have done in the past, and attempt. to exclude them from working on the construction of railways. Ido not think it will be in the interests of the country or even the province of British Co- lumbia, to take the step proposed by this amendment, and for these reasons I am opposed to it.” In the language of the street, this is alltommyrot. In the first place, there is no reason to believe that, if the matter were taken up properly by the Dominion and imperial gov- ernments, any serious feeling. of hostility would result in China and Japan. The United States ex- cludes Chinese, but is still on friend- ly terms with China, their citizens obtaining railroad and other con- cessions there. Ifthe British gov- would have a walk-over in the exe- cution of her designs in Asia. These alarmists little know the reserve power of the British empire. The point of attack would doubtless FOR.RENT—Three roomed ‘furnished hous with water; $14. T. Prest, 26 Columbia avenue. FOR RENT—Three roomed furnished house $12.00," T.

Russia must reckon ‘with the Indjan army,which, under European officers, is equal in military training and bravery to any equal army in Europe. She ‘must also reckon with the British fleet, which could blockade the Russian ports on the Baltic and Black seas and could wipe out the new Russian ports in Siberia and at Port Arthur. Russia has no fleet capable of with- Standing it. She must also reckon with Japan, which is fast increasing her navy and is eager for a fighting chance to check Russian aggression in Korea and China. She must reckon with the intensely loyal self- governing British colonies, which would readily send men to take the places of any troops the mother country might find it necessary to withdraw from South Africa. A war with Russia would be a struggle of Titans, which no think- ing man can contemplate without a shudder, but, if the czar imagines that Britain would tamely submit to gE ‘ion b she is pi in South Africa, he greatly ‘ mis- judges his foe.

That committee recommended that the alley in the rear of the - Sisters’ hospital be closed .and/a new. one}, opened, if owners of adjoining, prop- erty consent. It was also recom- mended that the city engineer make surveys for the ‘best route to the Columbia cemetery, either, by Co- lumbia avenue, Georgia street, Le Roi avenue, ' Park street, First. ave- nue extended, View street and Sec- ond avenue, or by Le Roi avenue and Park street to a® connection with the old road. It was decided'that the city en- gineer see how. much further work. on Second avenue is ‘necessary. H.B. Smith ‘was instructed to make the description: of the right of: way for the pipe line over the City of Spokane ground. The present ‘road to the Le Roi and War Eagle mines having been fenced in, it,;was resolved’ to grade Second avenue from; the west end of the bridge over.
