C., Sept. 14.—Every trades union In British Columbia has pledged Itself to prevent the entrance Into Canada of any more yellow labor ers. The suggestion has even been made that a htige strike all over Can ada be called If necessary, to show that thla Is not a local but a national affair. Vancouver delegates going to the Trades Congress at Winnipeg next week have received direct Instructions to ask the council to ask the Dominion government to nullify that portion of the treaty which allows colored races to enter Canada on the same footing as White mep and Instead to substitute rigid exclusion. ——-— As the Dominion government made no provision for 900 Hindoos who land ed from tho steamer Mont Eagle here, they hod to return to the steamer for the night. Will Cut Immigration. The official solution of the Oriental problem, announced In this city today, promises a sensible-restriction of Jap anese. Chinese and Hindu Immigration.

FARMERS NOT HOLDING COTTON elgn office.' Till Jha conference Is for the purpose of perfecting arrangements for the limi tation of Japanese Immigration to Brit ish Columbia. The mayor Immediately telegraphed a demand for the use of the dominion drill hall to shelter the 800 homeless Hindus who are roaming the streets and.besieging the city authori ties for aome place of shelter. They fear they will contract pneumonia sleeping out of doon these cold, nights. The Chinese again evidenced their hatred of the white race laat night when they caught James McGregor and almoftt neat and stabbed him to death Although a crowd of whites gathered, they did not retaliate. McGregor was rescued from the Chlneso by a woman. The whit* waiters and cooks have notified employer* that all Chinamen and Japanese employed In hotels and restaurants must be discharged or they will quit work In a body. Outbreak Is Feared. Police precaution* have been redou? bled ln order to prevent any outbreak tonight, when several meetings of pro test against Oriental Immigration are scheduled. In event of a clash (he po lice will have difficulty In preserving order, for the Orientals are fully armed. There Is absolutely no foundation for the charges that American labor agita tors were responsible for the recent outbreaks here against the foreigners. While It Is true that several labor lead ers from the American const states were In Vancouver when the outbreak started, they were In no wise Impli cated. On the other hand, tfiey did all In their power to restrain the mob after It had started on Its work. A. A. Fowler, secretary of the Anti-Japanese and Ko-' rean Immigration League, was In town that night, but when the riot began he was busy at the moat meeting In the city hall. Other labor leader* also were there. "ROOSEVELT FAIR AT FIR8T, BUT LATER HE CHANGED." Toklo, Sept. 14.—Count Okuna, writ ing In tho Hochl Shlmbun, contrasts the anti-Japanese feeling at Vancouver and San Francisco as follows: "The Vancouver riots must not be placed In the tame category as the San Francisco trouble*. The San Francisco authorities directly or Indirectly coun tenanced riots, while the municipal government waa a center of corruption, almost a state of anarchy prevailing. President Roosevelt's attitude at first waa fair, but after he conferred with a delegation of 8«.n Franciscans his atti tude waa sadly changed. "The Vancouver Incident was differ ent. It was an outrageous act, limited to laborers and unsupported elsewhere. The local authorities did everything possible to protect our cltlxena. Tho sincerity so fully evidenced of these really worthy local authorities make* us confident of effecting a satisfactory solution of tho situation." ALL EUROPE 18 AROUSED -OVER ATTACKS ON ASIATIC8.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 14.—Tha market developed unexpected weakness today, values suffering a loss of about 47 points when compared with yester day's closing level, and at the low level of tha day, 11.88 for October, were 146 points lower, or about 17.26 per bale cheaper than prices ruling about ten days pgo. It has been noticed during the past two weeks that while the different cot ton associations In the South were ad vising planters to hold for 16 cents, farmers In the South Atlantic states and In Alabama have been eager sell' ers, and have been underselling the Mississippi volley by about a half cent, and were offering at a cent or more Jaetow-quotatlona In Texas. As a matter of fact. Savannah quoted middling yes terday at 12 3-8. Mobile at 12 1-8, while New Orleans quoted the same grade at IS cents and Galveston at 13 1-2 cents. It was this that caused uneasiness among spot holders In the valley and In the southwest and made hedging almost Imperative on part of Texas spot holders. Last year Texas raised about 4,220,' 000 bales of cotton. This year It Is said that the state will do well to make 3,200,000. In so far aa the crop outlook Is con cerned, factors have no reason to change their views In regard to the probability of much higher pricks ul timately. Meanwhile opinions appear to be valueless since the majority of the Southern states have seen fit, through unwise legislation, to. throw the control of the market over to New York and Liverpool, the operators In the farmer market having been ag gressive sellers today, particularly when It was seen that there was ab sorptive power here. Then with tell ing effect, stop orders were dislodged, which tellfc the story. FOR CITYATTORNEY Councilman From First En ters Race to Succeed James L. Mayson.

He added that new'laws were wanted and must be passed. He raid no one can blame the president for executing the laws. Altogether, he thinks the outlook Is most hopeful. It Is not given to a city to win a baseball'championship every year. It has not besn given to Atlanta to win one In some twenty-one years, nnd there are towns which have never won one. The capturing of the Southern League pennant and tha tltlo of cham pions of 1908 waa finally accomplished by tho Atlanta players Friday after noon. when, they doVned the Little Rock team by an overwhelming score. And when this news and tho fact that Memphis had lost was sent Into the streets ln the baseball extra* there was rejoicing of a kind that comes only once In many years. This pennant-winning madness Is a mystery to those uninitiated In the mysteries of baseball. But there are not many such ln At lanta. On big days ten thousand peo ple turn out to aee baseball games, and that number probably does not repre sent a half of those In tho city who are decidedly Interested 1n the national game. Congratulations and handshakes bam been tne order alnm tin- b ad tho Atlanta club adqulred became so large that It assured tho championship for i tha local club. Tho arms of Billy Smith and his playors have been all but shaken off. find the frlefuls nf the tonin have spread themselves to give tho players a great cclchr.ttlnn of tlm victory. Now that tho season Is over—for It ends' with Saturday's game—the town can settle back to business, which has txwn sadly Interrupted since the base ball excitement rose to a high pitch. During the early part of tlfo week— while the Memphis team was playing at Ponce DeLeon—business was practi cally suspended. “I don't care a hang about baseball,” a man on the Ponce DeLeon car con fided to the sporting editor, "but I have to go. Everybody elsu has gone and I can’t do any business. So I am going out to see what thcy'ro all so crazy about." Tho mayor expressed tho feelings of the Atlanta fans when ho said Satur day morning: "Well, I guesa It Is a good thing It Is over. I have been too worried and too anxious and excited to tond to business. # I kept forgetting things and didn’t half feel like myself." The baseball madness begins to sub side with great rapidity about Monday night. In the afternoon of that day the benefit field day and game Is pulled off at Ponce DeLeon and a day or two afterwards the team leaves on a barn storming trip which ends In Richmond, where tha team disbands.
