Police admit they are\npowerless to cope with the situation and\nalthough all available men are massed\nin the affected districts, the mob I. pursuing its work ot destruction.\nThe temporary rule of the mob is the\nresult of an anil-Japanese mass meeting\ncalled to meet In the city hall this evening, The building could not begin to accommodate the great crowd and an overflow meeting was Inaugurated at the\ndoors. Under the inspiration of the\nspeeches some of which bordered on\nincendiary, the lower element of the\ncrowd broke loose, and with one impulse\nformed Into a mob.\nWith the cry of \"Down with the Japanese,\" they marched to the quarter\nwhere this race dwell and started a riotous demonstration. All along Powell\nstreet, fully a quarter of a mile, they\npressed, hurling stones and bricks at\nevery window, threatening danger to\nthe Japanese occupants. These, who\nhad remained within doors generally\nduring the night, cowered in fear under\nthe furniture of their room., not knowing what the next move would be.\nThen the crowd took up the cry of\n\"Down with the Chinese,\" and the procession headed for that quarter of the\ncity. Here the sarnie policy of destruction to the property was followed on\nevery side, and the massive plate glass\nwindows of large blocks were (broken,\nnot a single house in the district escaping the wrath of the mob, and the few\nOrientate who were not under cover, hid\nthemselves in fear and through the\nbroken windows the occupants of stores\ncould be seen crouching on the floor.\nNo word could be said against the destruction so fierce was the ardor of the\nmob and advice of cooler heads was\nhooted and jeered at. A hurry call waa\nMot for the police reserve and though\nevery available man wa. sent the rioters simply laughed at their efforts. As\nfast as a rioter was seizer this mob\nsnatched him from the police and took\nhim off in a cab. So far no personal\nviolence has been inflicted, but the property loss is probably up in the thousands.\nIt Is understood thnt consul Morikawa\nhas already been appealed to and asked\nto demand redress of the government.\nThe mass meeting began under auspices which, if ihe Incidents ab-v. noted,\nbad not occurred, would have be.n most\nsensational.\nA crowd numbering over three thousand, marched behind several bands of\nmusic through all the principal street*,\nof the city. In the middle of the procession was an effigy of Dunsmuir with a\nbanner stating that this was to be burned before the city hall.\nThe cool heads of the movement protested against this action but without\navail and before tbe procession filed\ninto the hall the burning of the effigy\ntook place in front of the building, the\ncrowd shouting and cheering as the figure was consumed by flames. Within tha\nhall the meeting was o_ a more temperate character and among the speakers\nwere several of the most prominent\nclergymen of the city. Revs. G. S. Wilson, H. W. Fraser and R. MU'iken, W.\nVon Rynes presided and among others\nwere G. M. Woodwarth, president of the\nconservative association; A. E. Fowler,\no\u00a3 Seattle, secretary of the anti-.xclusion\nleague, and Mr. Young, organizer of the\nAmerican Federation of Labor. Oddly\nenough, while the mob wa's doing its\nwork outside, several of the speakers\ndeprecated strongly the incidents occur-\ning at -.elllngham in connection with\nthe recent driving out of Hindus.\nThe police have thrown a cordon\naround the Chinese and Japanese quarters and no person Is allowed to enter.\nIn this manner quiet ls being gradually\nrestored but there Is 'still fear of further\noutbreak and the flre department haB\nbeen called out to aid in breaking up\nany further demonstration.\nComplaints have come to the police\nstation by the hundreds, coming in bo\nfast that the officers could not take them\nover the 'phone. One case of personal\nInjury is reported In the Japanese quarter. An old man was sitting by a table\nwhen a rock came through the window\nstriking him ln the face and knocking\nout several teeth and severely Injuring\nhtm. It Is thought that other similar\ncases will he reported tomorrow when\nthe Japanese emerge from seclusion.\nThe civic officials and the real leaders\nof the anti-Japanese movement deeply\ndeplore the mob incident and say they\nwill do all in their power to get at the\nleaders of the riot.\nThe police were successful in landing\nonly two prisoners in Jail, the present\ncharge against them .being merely malicious mischief. It took the entire force\nof reserves to get these prisoners\nthrough tlie mob.\nFORT WILLIAM TERMINAL\nBIO li.ir__VEMENTS UNDERTAKEN\nBV C. P.

When he assumed office he found\nthat protectionist principles had got Into the army administration and that the\nnation was paying a deal too much for\nmany things. He found, for example,\nthat there was a clause tn the contracts\nfor the anny rations that the meat must\nbe home bred and home fed.\nThe tenders were so low that lt was\nimpossible to supply British meat on\nthem but still they were much higher\nthan It this clause had been absent.\nForeign meat was supplied, in spite of\nthe clause, by Instituting free trade and\nthrowing open the door for outside tenders. The soldiers were supplied with\nthe same good quality of fofcign meat as\nbefore but the nation was saved f.om\n1250,000 to $500,000 on this contract\nalone. This sum waB the cost of maintaining a batalllon of troops and an additional battalion was preferable to a\npretended supply of beef grown ln this\ncountry. Referring to the horseshoe\ncontracts Mr. Haldane said there was\nsuch things as understandings among\nthe manufacturers of this country when\nthe war offlce was the bird to Ibe plucked. He threw this contract open, saved\nfrom 16 to 17 per cent on the price and\ngot a quicker delivery by taking American horseshoes, and tbls in spite of the\nfact that better wages are paid ln America than In this country.\nFIRE IN MONTREAL.\nMontreal, Sept. 7.\u2014Flre this morning\ndid about $5000 damage to Ihe Dominion\nCoffee and Spice mills on St. Paul street.\nTYPHOID ATTACKS NURSES.\nWinnipeg, Sept. 7.\u2014Although it\nwould appear that there ls much less\ntyphoid I nthe city this year than In\nformer years, an unusual condition exists ln the general hospital, In that at\npresent seven members of the staff were\ntaken down today with the dread disease, and yesterday one of the hospital\nhysicians, Dr. Stewart, died of the mal-\norla.\nWEEK'S ORE SHIPMENTS\nMORE COKE IS BEING SUPPLIED THE\nSME'LTERS\nGOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION STILL\nDESIREID\nTliere Is more coke coming to the smelters generally and as a consequence more\noro is being smelted.

Three\nwitnesses were examined, the secretary of\nthe local lumber dealers 'association; A.\nM. Grogan, secretary of the provincial association, and George P. Welts secretary\nof the Mountfl|n Lumbermen's association, who has been succeeded1 in this office by Mr. Anstle. Mr. Bennett made the\nsame objections to the evidence of tills witness as he did to the previous day to thnt\nof Mr. Grogan. Mr. Wells, like Mr. Grogan\nhnd destroyed all the documents that were\nsubmitted to the parliamentary committee.\nWhen court adjourned last evening Mr.\nWoods asked for the documents of the\nformer secretary that lie might go over\nthem and so shorten the examination of\ntho witnesses by traversing1 only essential\ngrounds.\nMr, We Is staled that he had nothing,\nthat all the letters and documents had\nbeen destroyed. Ills successor na 'secretary wns present nnd Informed the court\nthat the Mountain Mills association kept\nno minutes of their meetings.

He destroyed the minute books; he thought It wns dead matter\nand quite unnecessary, so were the bylaws\nnml price lists giving the reason for the\norganization of the retail association. Tlie\nwitness gave it ns his opinion that the\ntarge mills by opening up yards In Alberta\nmade the small mills hot. They thought\ntho big mills would eut prices, hence the\nassociation was necessary  to control the\nprices.\nMr. Woods read from the books of the\nMountain association nnd minutes thnt no\nshipments be mnde to Minneapolis.

This document, which is designed to replace to\nantiquated constitutions of 1772 and 1789\nthe ukases issued by emperors at various periods, and other precedents, In\npart legendary, under which the grand\nduchy of Finland has been governed, is\nthe fruit of 12 months' labor on the part\nof the senate. It begun with the sanction of his majesty and co-operation of\nthe governor general. It ls of the utmost\nimportance to the grand duchy. It effects\nsweeping changes in the regime now in\nforce including a series of notable concessions in the imperial prerogative\nwhich fundamentally reshape the relations of the grand duchy to the empire. In this constitution the status of\nFinland Is defined as that of a semi-\nsovereign state, bound to Russia by a\npersonal tie only, the Identity of the\nemperor duke. The sovereign is obliged to govern Finland exclusively through\nits Finnish subjects and this measure\nmeans the banishment from Finnish territory of the Russian army and gendarmes; who now occupy the fort-fled\nposts. Upon bis slice's ion to th_ throne\nthe emperor duke tikes an oath of ley-\nally from hts Finnish subjects.\nTreaties with foreign powers in so far\nns they nffect tho Interests of Finland,\nrequire the consent of the diet, nnd the\nsupreme court of Finland created by the\nconstitution and empowered to Judge the\nconstitutionality of the laws. Tlie most\nweighty Innovations relate to finances, and\nIn this field the people secured fu'. control. The emperor surrenders exclusive\nprivileges of levyng customs duties nnd\nof allotting disbursements of onlnnry taxation which he hitherto hns enjoyed.\nHereafter the right to levy taxes, expend\nthe revenues, raise state loans, Impose n\ncustoms tn-ff nnd call the 'men of Finland to military service, will depend upon\nthe concurrence of the diet.\nONTARIO LIBERALS.\n4   4\nA.

It is asserted on what Is\ndeemed competent authority that when\nMcBride reached Ottawa he Interviewed\nthe secretary of state, Hon. R. W. Scott,\nand said the bill would be disallowed\nby his advice, and suggested that the\nOttawa authorities in turn reciprocate,\nfacilitating his mission to London to the\nextent of allowing him a free hand to\nmake the best bargain he could of it.\nScott was so surprised that he wired\nto lieutenant-governor Dunsmuir for\nconfirmation nnd got It. Bowser's Act\nwas, therefore, disallowed at the request\nof the premier of this province.\"\nThe article goes on to state that Templeman is in possession of later and certain telegrams disclosing the full arrangement and that these will be produced when the proper time cornea.\nOn receipt of the foregoing a telegram\nwas sent Hon, Wm. Templeman asking\nhim as to the accuracy or otherwise of\nthe World's statement. The following\nreply was received:\n\"Victoria, Sept. 7.\u2014Do not know what\nVancouver World has published about\nlieutenant governor's refusal to ass_\u00bbt\nto Act, ostensibly intended to prohibit\nOriental Immigration, and therefor*\ncannot either confirm or deny accuracy\nof its statement.

In the meantime the\nlocal officials of the Canadian Pacific,\nappreciating the situation, are using\ntheir best endeavors, with the authorities to get a modification of the new\nrules.\nUnder the old system double first class\nrates were charged on dynamite and\nhigh explosives generally but the shipper could send any number of cases he\nchose, the railway exacting a minimum\ncharge of $5. Under the new ruling the\nrailway will still accept any number of\ncases but the minimum charge is the\ndouble flrst class freight on 5000 pounds.\nFor instance the rate to Slocan City,\ndouble flrst class, is $1 a hundred\npounds. Thus under the old tariff a\nbuyer ordering terrcase., each being 50\npounds, would have had to pay $5 and\nthis was considered sufficiently onerous.\nBut his case Is today far worse. He can\norder ten cases if he cares to but he will\nnave to pay the freight on one hundred,\nor $50,\nTake the case of a rancher at Granite,\na few miles out of the city, who wants\ntwo or three cases to clear up his\nranch. The double first class rate ls 42\ncents a hundred and under the old tariff\nhe would have had to pay $5 just as if\nhe had to buy 24 cases. Today he must\npay $21 freight on those three cases.\nMost of the smaller mining properties\nin the vicinity of Nelson don't use more\nthan 10 cases for a season's work.

It will he remembered that recently our despatches contained a brief\nannouncement that Great Britain's delegate presented a proposal re limitation\nof military expenditure, but the cable\nreport contained no adequate account\nof the debate nor of the effect of sir Edward Fry's speech and the outcome. The\nLondon Weekiy Times just to hand contains quite the best summary of the\nHague peace conference proceedings\npublished by any newspaper and from it\nwe reproduce dr Edward Fry's speech\non the subject of military expenditures\nand the subsequent proceedings, which\nredounded so greatly to the credit of\nthe British delegates:\nSir Edward Fry said:\nMonsieur le President, I have the honor to submit to you on behalf of his\nBritannic majesty's government a proposal of the highest importance.\nWhen his imperial majesty the emperor of Russia convoked the 'first peace\nconference at The Hague he proposed as\nthe flrst object of Its labors \"to seek\nwithout delay the means of putting an\nend to the progressive Increase of armaments on land and sea, a question the\nsolution of which is manifestly becoming more and more urgent In view of\nthe fresh extension which has been given to these armaments,\"\nAfter having taken cognizance of the\nreport of the first committee of the\nconference, which had been entrusteded\nwith the examination of the question,\nthe conference unanimously adopted the\nfollowing resolution: \"The conference\nconsiders that the limitation of the\nmilitary charges which now weigh upon the world i_ greatly to be desired for\nIhe promotion of the material and moral welfare of humanity.\"\nCount Muravieff, in his memorandum\nof August, 1898, addressed to Europe in\nthe name of his majesty the emperor of\nRussia, said: \"Financial burdens constantly on the Increase affect the public\nprosperity at Its source; the intellectual\nand physical forces of the peoples, labor,\nand capital, are to a large extent diverted from their natural appllcition and are\nun productively consumed. Hundreds of\nmillions are devoted to acquiring terrible agencies of destruction which,\nthough regarded today as the last word\nof science, are destined tomorrow to\nlose all value In consequence of some\nfresh discovery In the same field. National culture, economic progress, the\nproduction of wealth, are paralyzed or\nthwarted in their development. Moreover, the more the armaments of each\npower increase, the less do they fulfil\nthe object which the governments had\nin view. Economic crises, due in great\nmeasure to the system of armaments\na outrance. and the continued danger\nwhich lies In this massing of war material, transforms the armed peace of\nour time. Into a crushing burden which\nthe peoples have more and more difficulty In bearing, It therefore seems evl-\ndents thai. If this situation were pr..-\nlonged, it would Inevitably lead to the\nvery catnnlysni which lt Is desired to\navert, and the horrors of which cause\naM humanity to shudder at the thought\nof It.\"\nThese words, so eloquent and so true\nwhen they were flrst uttered, are today\nstill more forcible and more true. For\nMonsieur le President, since that date\nmilitary expenditure upon armies as wil\nas upon navies has considerably increased. Thus, according to the most exact\nInformation wliich I have received, this\nexpenditure reached In 1S98-\u2014that Is to\nsay In the year which immediately preceded the flrst conference at The Hague\n\u2014a total of more than \u00a3251.000,000 for\nthe countries of Europe, with the exception of Turkey and Montenegro (regarding which I have no information., the\nUnited States of American and Japan;\nwhile in the year 1906, the similar expenditure of the same countries exceeded a total of \u00a3320.000.000.\nIt will thus be seen that in the interval between the two conferences annual\nmilitary expenditure hag been augmented by the sum of \u00a369.000 000, or more\nthan 1725 millions of francs, which Is\nan enormous increase. Such is this excessive expenditure which might be em*\nployed for better ends; such Monsieur le\nPresident, la the burden under which our\npopulations are groaning; such Is the\nChristian peace of the civilized world In\nthe twentieth century. I will not apeak\nof the economic aspect of the question,\nof the great mass of men who are compelled by these preparations for war to\nleave their occupations, and of the prejudicial effect of this state of things upon genera] prosperity. You know thla\naspect of the question better than I do,\nI am, therefore, quite sure that you\nwill agree with me in the conclusion\nthat the realization of the desire expressed by the emperor of Russia and by the\nfirst conference would be a great blessing for the whole or humanity. Is this\ndesire capable of being realized? This\nis a question to which I cannot supply a\ncategorical answer. I can only assure\nyou that my government ts a convinced\nsupporter of these bigh aspirations and\nthat it charges me to Invite you to work\ntogether for the realization of this noble\ndesire.\nIn ancient times, Monsieur le President, men dreamed of an age of gold\nwhich had existed on earth in tbe distant pais; but ln all ages and among\nall nations, poets, sibyls, prophets and\nall noble and Inspired souls have always\ncherished the hope of the return of this\ngolden age under the form of the reign\nof universal peace.\nUltima Cumaei venit jam carmlnls aetas,\nMagnus ah lntegro saeclorum nascltur\nordo,\nJam redit et virgo,   redeunt   Saturnla\nLAIEVTEW HOTEL\nCOR.

This\nexchange of Information would facilitate an exchange of views between the\ngovernments on the subject of (he reductions which It might be possible to effect by mutual agreement. The British\ngovernment believes tbat In tbls way it\nmight be possible to arrive at nn understanding with regard to the expenditure which th\u00b0 states which should undertake to adopt this course would he\njustified In incorporating In their estimates.\nIn conclusion, therefore. Monsieur le\nPresident. I have the honor to propose\nto you tbe adoption of the following\nresolution:\nThe conference confirms the resolu-\n'lon adopted by the conference of 18.9\nln regard to the limitation of military\ncharees; and. in view of tbe fact that\nmilitary charges have considerably increased in almost all countries since\nthat year, the conference declares that\nit Is highly desirable that the governments should resume the Berlous study\nof this question.\nThe first Britlrh delegate then bowed\nand returned Mo his -ila_e ot t. _ front\nbench nm'd che.ru which were taken up\nIn  the galleries.\nM. Nelldoff at once followed, but,be remained rented In the chair while rendinR\nthe declarations which hnd bert communicated In writing to him by Mr. Choate,\nAm.rlcn and Benor do Villa Urrutla, Spain\nas well n_ by Dr. Drngo, Argentina, nnd\nSenor Conahn, Chile. He began by rending:\nMr. Chontels declaration.\ntn the course or the negotiations which\npreceded the present conform,  th gnvrn-\nment of the United States considered It to\nhe Its duty to reFPrva the r'cht tn hrlnp\nforward here the ln.portn.nt subject of the\nflniiiiitton of armaments, In the hnpp of\nadvancing In .ntnc .mnll decree t'm 'o'tv\nconception which Inspired the emperor of\nRussia in his flr\u00abt appeal,\nWltlle regretting thnt more progrens I.\nin the direction Indicated by .his Imperial\nmajesty ennnot bc mnde nt till. moment,\nwe are happy to think thnt there Is no\nIntention on the pnrt of the nation, to\nabandon his majesty** endeavors, and we\nrequest to be allowed to express our sympathy for the views exp.es.cd hy bis excellency the first delegntc of Great Britain, and to support the proposal which he\nhas just mnde.    (Cheers.),\nAt this stane an Important Incident which\nseemed to have been unexpected by the\nmajority of the assembly, took place,\nM. Bourgeois, Frnnce. rose In bis p_icc In\nthe body of thc hn',1 and made the following di .'limitInn:\nTn the nnme of the French delegation,\nI declare our support (je declare npnuycr\nexprewment) of tho proposal formulated\nby sir Edward Fry and upheld by our colleagues of the United States of America.\nThe first delegate of the French republic,\nremembering thnt he wn* In 1W\u00bb t>ie Initiator of the voeu of the first conference,\nwill perhaps be allowed to express the confident belief that between now and the\nmeeting of the next assembly the etttdy\nto which thc conference Invites the govern\nments in the name of humanity will be\nresolutely pursued.\nThe declaration of the eminent first delegate  of  France   created  a profound   Impression, and were received with subdued j\napplause.\nM. NeMdoff then proceeded to read the\ndeclaration of Spain, in which the first\nSpanish delegate, Senor de Villa Urrutln,\nrecalled' the fact that his government, at\nthe time when the present conference was\nconvened, had reserved the right of discussing the question of the limitation of\narmaments, which had been submitted to\ntho former conference by the tsar, Senor\nde Villa TJrrutla regretted that circumstances had not permitted the nations to\nfollow out this noble idea, He desired to\ngive expression to the sympathies of the\nSpanish government with the views ex.-'\npounded by sir Edward Fry, and to the\nhope thnt the endeavors of all the nations\nin this sense might one dny be crowned\nwith success.\nM. Nefldoff then rend the declaration., of\nArgentina and Chile, communicated by M.\nDrngo and M. Concha In support of tho\nBritish proposal. The Argentine and Chilian delegates further communicated the\ntreaty of disarmament which their governments hnd' concluded five years ago, and I\nto which practical effect hud already been\ngiven. M. Nelldoff read tlie text of the\ntreaty and then invited the conference to\nexpress Its thanks to the Argentine and\nChilian delegations, and, In particular Its\nappreciation of the work of M. Drago and\nM. Concha, who had themselves negotiated the treaty, having been in office In\ntheir respective countries nt the time. The\nassembly of the conference responded to\ntho Invitation of Its president with loud\ncheers.\nM. Nefldoff then rose and addressed the\nconference, ending with the hope tliat sir\nEdward Fry's resolution would be adopted\nunanimously.\nWhen the president sat down he hardly\nallowed the assembly a moment to express\nhy its applause tho general appreciation of\nhis own eloquent and impressive speech. He\ndesired to mako It clear thnt the British\nvo-U was at once carried and he himself\nled off the general Capping of hands in\norder tn testify that the conference assented unanimnus.y to the recommendation\nconveyed In his own concluding sentences\nnnd that the voeu was adopted by'acclamation.\nAfter n rapid formal declaration to this\neffect M, Nelldoff s .nr_ly .tru-k t'-e table\nIn front of him wtth the presidential lion\nhammer and declared \"La seance eit\nlav\u00bb.\"\nThe delegates nnd puM'c trooped out of\nthe cool hall Into the warm BUn'hlne of\nthe Bultenhof, di.eu.slng m they went\ntho significance of this memorable Pitting.\nPROFESSIONAL CARDS\nMURPHY & FISHER\nOTTAWA\nBarristers, Solicitors, eto.\nParliamentary, Departmental and Patent\nOffice Agent,   practice   before Kali-\nway Commission,\nCHARLES MURPHY  HAROLD FISHER\nA.

The\nsuccess of M-Glllivry and his partner at\nSandon recently ln lowering the record\nof the Faulds brothers has created a\nspirit of emulation which is likely to\nbring quite a number of competitors to\nNelson, especially after the action of the\nfair directorate in hanging up a substantial purse to the winners.

Starkey of their entrance but it\nls not at all likely that the other minim*\ncamps will fail to be present.
