It is to be hoped that a report of the occurrence will be forwarded through the proper channels to the Royal Humane Society, so that the gallant rescuer's case may be dealt with by that Society in such manner as it thinks fit, and he rewarded in an adequate munner, besides anything the American Admiral may do in' that direction, a report of the occurrence, we learn, having heen forwarded to him.

OFFICERS AND CREW ON STRIKE.

A Shanghai contemporary reports that on the 5th inst. a state of mutiny prevailed on board the four-masted American schooner Annie E, Smofe, which was due to sail on that day, for Port Townsend. It appears that there bas been much discontent on board for some time past and matters were brought to a crisis by the officers and crew refusing duty when or dered to heave up anchor. The master, seeing thret the men were determined not to work, at 9.20 am. hoisted the signals "Crew mutinous; want assistance," and upon these signals being read by the Senior American Naval officer port, two boats manned by an armed guard of Vitolobes, and Quiros to the Ausis E.

GROWTH OF CITIES.

The census of 1900 gave Greater New York a population of 3,437,702.

A recent State census shows that it has now a population of ap; roximately 4,000,007, having increased 549,951 since the Federal censos of igo was taken.

It is believed that one of the mates' grie vances is the refusal of the master to allow them in take their meals in the saloon, they having to utilise the steward's pantry for that purpose. This, if true, is a gratuitous insult on the part of the master to the men upos whom he has to rely for assistance for the safe navigation, efficiency and well-being of his vessel. To longshoremen this refund may ap pear to be a very trivial ground for complaint, but the officers have the working of the crew, And the latter, seeing that there is friction among the members of the "after guard," are

Greater New York now stands as the second city in the world in the number of its inhabi lants. London is the only city now leading it.

But Greater London, as it now exists, covers an area of 681 square miles, or nearly double that covered by New York. And although the growth of the British metropolis is amazing, in all probability it will, in the course of a few decades, be passed in the number of its inhabitants by the population of Greater New York, as the latter is doubtless receiving much larger acces sions not only from this country, but from abroad.

TAFT ON CHINESE EXCLUSION.

THE SECRETARY OF WAR DISCREDITS

PACIFIC COAST.

In a commencement address at Miami Uni- versity, in Ohio, Secretary Taft in quoted as having used the following language:

"Touching the application of the Chinese that for the purpose of excluding or preventing exclusion law, the Secretary asked: Is it just

perhaps too Chinese coolies from slipping into an equal number of Chinese merchants and this country against the law, we should subject

of such an inquisitorial, humiliating, insulting students of high character to an examination and physically uncomfortable character as to discourage altogether the coming of merchants and students?"

not

Those who have been admirers of Secretary Taft, and who are also familiar with the real facts of Chinese immigration, will feel genuine sorrow in reading that paragraph and other paragraphs of the same address. It is so much what he said as the manner of his saying it. When he gives the weight of his examination of Chinese is merely for the pur name to the false statement that our rigorous pose of excluding "roo Chinese coolies he does that which his best friends will most sin cerely regret. There is not an employer of Labor on this 'Coast who does not know that under the former lax administration of the ex- almost open tariff for the admission of coolies clusion law there was a regular, notorious and under the guise of merchants," and that any coolie who had the price could come in. Chin. ese employed in the country made no secret of it, but would ask in the ordinary course of busi- ness for wages which they had allowed to ac. cumulate for the purpose of getting a son or a "cousin" inlo the country. The usual tariff was $300. It was to stop those frauds that the screws were put on, and must be kept on.
