ready acquainted you with the deploy
Ole disturbances which have taken place
recently in British Columbia, directed
against Asiatic laborers residing in the
elty ofaivancouver. I ant happy to say
thet.•the local authorities have taken
prpptpt measures to restore order. At
Ole same time it must not be forgotten
that among the people on the Pacific
toast there are strong racial prejudices,
which, though greatly to be regretted
have still to be taken into account by
ell who desire to cultivate the best re-
lations between Canada and the Orient.
Ilia Excellency the Governor-General and
the Canadian Government will be pleased
if. yon ,will convey to his Imperial Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Japan their very
deep regret for the unfortunate occur -
retiree at Vancouver, in which the per-
sons and property of certain of his Im-
perial Majesty's subjects were treated
in a manner which received only the
strongest condemnation from the Cana-
dian authorities, and if you will also

will use their utmost effort* to prevent
any recurrence of suelt regrettable

Metropolitan Church, Toronto, were pre-

Spaking of essentials in adult Bible

The Morning Post believes that the

ulating too rapidly for temporary pal-

would be hotter for everyone ooncerned
that the erieis should be hastened In•

The Daily Mail, in an editorial article,
reminds its readers that there is no need
to suspect the sound American banks.
This 'paper says there is a wide gulf
between the conservative American banks
and modern trust development. It is
the speculators who are tumbling in the
debacle, and their fall gradually is clear-
ing the atmosphere. Even the soundest
concerns may be temporarily affected,
the paper says, but it would be an ab-
surd error to suppose that because some
reckless gamblers are in difficulty, the
United States from a financial and con.
menial point of view, is going to pieces.
