Mr. Gearin has, introduced a resolution into the Washington Senate recommending that negotiations be opened with Japan with a view to the modification of the treaty with the United States, and of absolutely prohi. biting the entrance of Japanese coolies, Mr. Gearin characterised the unrestricted immigration of Asiatics as the curse of the American labourer.

Hisaship: How am I to go into that now? On the 21st December your clients came up before me and pleaded guilty to the charge and an order to pull down the cubicles was issued. This is practically a re-hearing, and the time has expired to grant a re-hearing

His Worship said he did not know at the time that Mr. Stevenson wanted a re-hearing. He did not say an, and the eight days granted in which to apply for a re-hearing had expired.

Mr. Steavenson observed that as the case was going to be remanded he did not make an an application. Continuing, he said that the owner or bailder was the proper perçon liable in this case,

His Worship said that the summons was not for illegal building.

Mr. Stravenson contended that a cubicle did not come under the defuition of a building or works.

Dis Worship said that at the first hearing the defendants, acknowledged that they know they were doing wrong-they were told by the landlord, they said, not to put up any cubicles, Under the circumstances his Worship could do nothing else but uphold the decision he gave at the last bearing-that the cubicles were to be removed.
