UNDERARMEDGUARD
Chinese Crew for Minnesota
Cooped Up at Victoria,
SENTINELS ALWAYS ON WATCH
Fear the Celestials Will Escape and
Join Their Countrymen in This
City How the Asiatics
Are Fed.
VICTORIA, B. C, Dec 10. (Special.)
James J. Hill has 172 Chinamen from
Hongkong cooped up in a pen at the
outer wharf here and watched by arm
ed guards until the arrival of his big
boat, the Minnesota, which is expected
about the end of the month, her boilers
willing. They are said to be now lean
ing at an alarming rate and the vessel
is making about eight knots an hour
along the South American coast.
The Chinamen In corral here were
hired In Hongkong as part of the crew
of the Minnesota, and consist of oilers,
firemen, deckhands, coalpassers, state
room and saloon servants, cook assist
ants and so on. They were the sickest
looking lot of Celestials ever landed
here when they marched down the
gangplanks of the steamship Empress
of India Wednesday night. The Em
press ran Into dirty weather off the
north coast of "Vancouver Island, and
for the first time since she has plied
across the Pacific was 24 hours late in
arriving here. The weather was simply
tremendous and the big white liner's
decks were a seething mass of green
seas and snowy foam for hours as she
plunged into the southeaster at full
speed, but making only six kjiots in the
teeth of the screaming hurricane. Con
sequently) all the Chinese for the Minne
sota were deathly sick and ate nothing
for three days.
Hence, when first chow-chow was an
nounced in the barracks at the outer
wharf there was a wild, joyous rush of
Chinese feet for the rice bowls and
chopsticks, and" the sticks were never
seen to move faster than they did that
night as the famished Chinks shoveled
the proteids into their vacant maws.
The contractor for the feeding of the
Chinamen is Tom Goldsmith, proprietor
of the Montana Restaurant, at the
wharf-head. The contract calls for
two meals a day. to consist of not less
than one pound and a quarter of No. 2
Chinese rice, with meat and fish. Gold
smith has added on his own account an
abundance of vegetables and Chinese
savories and relishes, of which John is
very fond.
The barracks where the Chinamen
aro penned is an old can factory, very
substantially built, with a four-inch
fioor, barricaded windows and an armed
guard perched on a platform that com
mands a view of every part of the hall.
The Chinese spread their mats on the
floor and cuddle up in their blankets,
and they are then to all Intents and
purposes occupants of the rose-pink
boudoir at the Waldorf Astoria. Out
side the front entrance of the coop is a
ten-foot fence ornamented at the top
with many lines of this season's barbed
wire, twisted and fill greed so as to
make quite an interesting puzzle for
any Chink that might take a Byrd-Page
Jump at the fence with felonious intent
to join his compatriots in Chinatown,
evading thereby the 5500 head tax re
quired by the Dominion government.
Around the top of the ten-foot fence
that surrounds this exercising and air
ing yard runs a narrow gallery in !
which paces, night and day. a sentry
with a loaded rifle and both eyes peeled
for vain tricks on- the part of the pris
oners. The kitchen is arranged on the
Chinese pattern. Three huge, shallow
copers contain the rice, minced pork
and cabbage and the Manchurian rag
out, with Tartar sauce, much affected
by tho Celestial gourmands. The men
are divided up into messes of 20, each
under Its own captain, and when the
signal is given each mess moves for
ward to seize the blue-and-white. china
bowls heaped high with toothsome viands.
The hint has been thrown out by what
is supposed to be a practical Joker that
one of the Chinamen who served his time
as a cabinetmaker in Pekin, and was an
expert in the construction of secret
drawors and recesses in desks and walls,
has a telescope augur and keyhole saw.
with which he intends to get out of that
prison. This has given some uneasiness
to the watchers, for a clever Chinaman
could quite easily, as he lay in his blan
kets at night bore the necessary bole
through the floor, then apply the saw.
with plenty of oil, loosen thus a square
large enough to accommodate tho fattest
of the bunch, and the rest would be easy.
Tho building rests on piles set in the
earth filling of the wharf, and once the
Chinese got through the floor planking,
there would be nothing In their way. It
is not likely, however, that there will be
one queue short when the Minnesota
comes.

Tli? Regulator steamer Metlako was
brought down from the city levee to
Aider-street dock yesterday and put in

Young Women Renounce the Vorld
for a Religious Life.
In the chapel of the Monastery of the
Precious Blood, Mount Tabor, yesterday
morning, one young woman made her
.final vows renouncing the world and en
tering on a eeciuded religious life, and
three young women completed their no
vitiates. Miss Anna Heroack, the for
mer, will henceforth be known In relig
ion a? Sister Mary Immaculate, and the
novitiates were as follows: Miss Neva
Gravelines, in religion. Sister Mary of
Jesus; Miss Blanche Heroack, In religion.
Sister Mary of the Precious Blood: Miss
Bertha Fafard. in religion. Sister Teresa
of Jesus.
Archbishop Alexander Christie presided
at the religious professions of these young
women and received tho vows that pledge
them during life to religious meditation
and prayer. There was a largo attend
ance of members of the church and friends
of the young women who took their vows.
Rev. Father I. A. Brosseau assisted in
tho solemn and beautiful ceremony. Arch
bishop Christie addressed the young sis
ters and congratulated them- on the choice
they had made of a life of seclusion and
prayer. He said that in- the world, when
young women take the vows that take
them entirely out of the world during their
natural lives, it was supposed that they
had entered a sort of slavery, but the
archbishop declared that this was a great
mistake, for" these young women had en
tered on a life really of greater liberty
than had they remained la the world.
The archbishop made an interesting ad
dress on tho. meaning of the religious llfo
on which the four young women had en
tered, and the significance of the act on
the world.
"While wo are sleeping at midnight."
said the archbishop, "these young persons
will be engaged In prayer and religious
meditation for the salvation of the world."
The chapel was decorated In gold, it
being the golden jubilee of the immacu
late conception, and presented & beauti
ful appearance. At the close of the cere
mony the immediate friends and relatives
extended their congratulations to tho
young women and bid them farewell.

The Old Biblical Term Suggests Good
Food.
Such remarkable changes can be
brought about by food properly selected
that the best physicians now look to the
rearYangcraent of a person's diet as one
of the most Important things.
A member of the Clinic Publishing
Co.. publishers of medical journals in
Chicago, writes as follows, and says that
he does not object to our using his name
publicly;
"I wish to state a few facts which will
show to you why there is, and ever will
be In my heart, a most grateful apprecia
tion of Grape-Nuts as a life-giving, nerve
strongthenlng and health-restoring food.
"My eldest son, William R., was taken
with a severe attack of scarlet fever.
This left hint In a state of such utter
collapse and prostration of nerve force
and energy that be was unable to sustain
his own weight.
"A complication of troubles followed;
the kidneys became affected, and the
doctors all declared his case hopeless.
"Naturally the stomach was too enfee
bled to retain or assimilate aolid food,
and milk, beef tea, and the like, soon
became nauseating to 'him.
"Simply as an experiment a spoonful
of Grape-Nuts was suggested, and tried.
Its predlgested constituents seemed to
exactly suit my boy's case. Eureka! We
had indeed found iU
"He not only retained the food but rel
ished it and asked for more. From that
vers day he began to mend, and in three
weeks was convalescent. Gradually, from

GATCH GIRL IN DEN
Police Raid Opium Joint and
Capture Three,
YOUNG WOMEN UNDER BED
Officers Turn on Searchlight and Go
Over Transom of Pine-Street
Dive, but Fall to Get
Proprietor.
In a spectacular -raid on an opium den
at 271 Pine street at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, a pretty young woman giving the
name of Ruth Delano, and her home as
somewhere In Alblna, was taken into
cuirtody: With her was also arrested
Jack Slebert and Lo Hong, a Chinese.
Entrance to the den was gained through
a transom. The Inmates were discovered
by means of a searchlight, wielded by
Sergeant of Police Hogeboom. who led tho
raiding squad. With him were Policeman
Endlcott and Young.
It is believed the real keeper of the
opium den was not In, and that he Is
therefore still at large. It is thought,
however, that Lo Hung had some connec
tion with the place. He is charged with
being In an opium den and was released
on bonds of $100, put up by two friends.
Ruth Delano, as the young woman gave
her name ,was charged with being in an
opium den, and was turned over to the
care of Police Matron Simmons for the
night.
Jack Slebert was'not found In the den,
but was approaching It through an alley
way, and the police believe him to be the
man who, the young woman states, was
sent out after opium. He was held with
out ball.
Sergeants Hogeboom and Siover guard
ed the den all night. It was locked from
the outside with a strong padlock. For
that reason, It Is believed by the officers
that the real proprietor was away. Not
having actual knowledge of the nature of
tho place, the police feared to make a
forcible entry, but after using the search
light, seeing tho people within with an
opium-smoking "layout" "In sight, they
went over tho transom.
Ruth Delano was found hiding under
the bed. She told the police this was
the first time she was ever In an opium
den. She said she did not smoke opium
and did not know whether she would
have done so had the raid not been made.
With the prisoners tha police captured
the complete outfit. The case will bo
called before Municipal Judge Hogue tomorrow.

SOOSEVELT IS HOT DECIDED.
Still Debating Matter of Extra Session
to Revise Tariff.
WASHINGTON. Dec 10. No extraordi
nary session of Congress will be held next
Spring for a revision of the tariff. That
has been decided definitely. The ques
tion of an extraordinary session next Fall
Is in abeyance.
President Roosevelt announced this de
cision to several of his callers today.
Tho President said he had abandoned
any Idea of calling Congress Into ex
traordinary session in the Spring, as it
did not seem practicable to hold a session
for tariff revision at that time He in
dicated, however, that he might call a
session for next Fall, although no abso
lute determination of that point has yet
been reached.
In view of this decision, the President
told Representative Cooper, of Texas,
that ho had decided to make a Southern
trip. next Spring.
