THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF VICTORIA, B.C.
THE ORIENTAL LABOUR QUESTION
Mr. J. Beckwith, the Mayor of Victoria, knows his city better than most people, says the Canadian Mail, for he has lived in it for twenty-eight years. Like most mayors in Canadian cities, Mr. Beckwith is a busy man, and it is not easy to catch him at leisure. Indeed it was only by dint of seeing him when all the business of the day was over for most men in the city that I could se him. "When I first came to Victoria," he said in reply to my questions, "there were only 8,000 whites in the city, and 2,000 Chinese. The Q.P.R. was nearing com- pletion, and Chinese labourers working on the railway poured into the city is the work was gradually completed. There WAR no restriction on the Gineso immigrants in those days. Of course, restrictions have become necessary now, where there is a danger of our geting too many Asiatics into the sity. town' here is one of the sights of the city. The little Chinese boys are very interest- ing. There is a large population of Chinese children in our schools, and some of them are remarkably intelligent One Chinese boy, Peter Hing, passed Krough the Victoria public school and high school into the collego here that is affiliated with MeGill University. Montreal and took his degree, anduiter wards graduated at Harvard. He after wards returned to China to became an important leader in the roform moment The Asiatics have com inte British Columbia in such numbs that there are Hindu temples in Victoria and in Vancouver.

become good workers. Some of them, however, make money. There areeveral real estate offices here conducted by Hindus, who are well enough off to keep automobiles. Their very success constitutes a danger. It makes them dotermined to bring in their friends and to demand the rights of citizenship. This Province, and perhaps Alberta too, is in danger of having a serious problem before You see, these Hindus are British 3 org citizens, and some of them have bought 60md for the Empire; conscquently there are many people who think that it is harsh to speak of them as I do. But have to look at the inots. We have in British | Columbia about 300,000 inhabitants, and if another 350,000 Hindus were to come, what would our condition be! The only restriction put on the immigration of Hindus is that the law insists that they must come direct here from India. This is difficult for them to do, as they have in the ordinary way to transfer at Hong- kong or Shanghai. So this insistance on their making a continuous voyag here keeps the immigration down a bit. British Columbia is the watch dog of the Pacific, and it is no good being senti-

EXPLOSION ON A PHILIPPINE ARMY LAUNCH
An explosion of accumulated gas on the Philippine coast artillery launch DD-1 last Monday morning wrecked the launch, killed one member of the crew outright, and seriously injured two more. An incident of the explosion and succced- ing fire was a display of heroism on the part of a curporal of artillery, in board. ing the launch, after it was cut adrift, and rescuing one of the wounded men, who had not been noticed when the boat was cut away.
The launch is one of the two built in Hongkong for the military service, and brought over to Manila in April last, to be used in connection with the mine planters. They are called box distribo tion launches, hence their names, BD launches, numbera 1 and 2.
A détach ment of men of the coast artillery have been at work on the launches, getting the engines in perfect working order, and polishing the brass and woodwork. Shortly before seven o'clock the five men boarded the launch, and started to over. haul the minor parts of the engine. The latter vas started several times, and it
was on the third attempt that the ex- plosion took place. Corporal Frank Foster, and private Irvin H. Davis, both of the 142nd company coast artillery, were below in the engine room when the gas exploded, and were blowy against the side of the vessel.
A sheet of flame sprung
from the room, and, although blinded by fire and fumes, both found their way to the deck.
The members of the crew of the sister launch, which was lying closest to the dock, jumped to the relief of the injured men, the little vessel being then a mass of flames. Private Walter Maxwell, also

years. Real estate values show this in a remarkable way. Conditions led to de- pression up to 1906, but there are numbers at instances where business property sold for 88,000 to $10,000 in 1900 could to-day easily bring in $100,000. I could quote instapees where properties bough!" for 815,000 have been resold within three years for $130,000. I myself bought some land five years ago for $7,500. It has since been built on, but even if it were vacant, to-day it would be worth $0,000. The city has grown so much lately that it has doubled its size in five years.
