Vancouver, Sep 2. --The statement
of the Juliano() t shiiI, published hero
r.� P
this evening, fit to groat sensation
Th,e , i otConsul to Canada, Mr.
T. 'Nesse, stated at Ottawa to -day that
there would be an unpleasant feeling de-
veloped, if on the Pacific coast of Canada
there should be a refusal to admit Japa-
nese by the local authorities. Under
an arrangement
made sem years
a rs
y ago
he states the Japanese Government
agreed to limit the number of Japanese
arrivals in Canada to five or six hun-
dred, and this agreement has bean kept.
He says the Japanese Government will
oontinue to live up to the terms of
this understanding, It is reported from
the Pacific coast that 1,800 immigrants
have arrived from Japan since the first
of the year. Mr. Noise says that
more than half of this number have
not remained in Canada, but have cross-
ed the boundary, into the United States
or have passed through to other 'coun-
tries There went about 2,000 arrivals
from Honolulu, and over these the Ja-
panese Government have no control.
What Canada is demons of doing and
what she expects to succeed in doing
is to get an arrangement with Japan so
that the number of arrivals in this
untry will be limited to 600 or 000
year, no matter whether they cone
Vila Honolulu or Japan, instead of say
g that only that number will leave
pan for Cttnads.
A movement is on foot here to have a
seting of delegates front various anti-
iathe leagues on the Pneific Coast, in-
king Fain Francisco, It is claimed that
e immigration has now reached a
int at which the population of the Pa-
k coast south of the boundary line is
aching the highest importance to the
panese invasion of Canada, as repro -
ting possibly the most serious Asiatic
tack on this continent, threatening the
ublhe and the Dominion alike, That

WATERWAY ACROSS RUSSIA,
at Project to Connect the Baltic and
Black Seas,
Washington, Sept, 2. -The Russian
Ministry of ways of oomunication has
begun the preparation af a pita for a
gigantic canal to connect the Baltic and
Black soon. This engineering feat has
been discuesed and contemplated for
many years.
In a report to the bureau of manufac-
tures the American Consul at Riga says
that the total length of the waterway is
to be about 2,310 vests (1,525 miles),
the estimated cost of the work 65,000,000
rubles, or about $27,500,000, and among
-the many benefits will be relief to the
chronic congestion on the southwestern
railway system, it being estimated that
the .Dnieper alone is able to further
freight during the navigation season to
the amount of 180,000,000 pools, or 2,-
900,000 tons. The expense in connection y
at 185,000000 rubles or $02;500,00 more,

HEAVY RAIN IN THE WEST,
The Harvesting Operations Have Been
Greatly Delayed.
Winnipeg, Sept. 2.—A drenching rain
las fallen throughout western Canada
all day to -day, delaying harvest opera-
tions materially. However, wheat 'is
reporting to be filling splendidly, and if
the frost is " avoided some excellent
samples will be reaped. Reports sent in
are very late and backward. The
weather is causing great anxiety. Cut-
ting in some sections will not be pos-
sible before Sept. 20 or 24, but in other
localities it will be general two weeks
earlier.
Around Gladstone the crop is magnifi-
cent, and the yield will run all the way
from twenty to forty bushels per acre.
These heavy yields in the northern parts
will go a long way to offset the light
crop south. Frost has already done con-
siderable damage.
