WEDNESDAY mUU EDITION ITS HELP TO AMERICA Discrimination on Part of Jap anese Between England and U. S. Unwise. NEW CONDITIONS IN GAME Belief That Jiiimii-AnicrJcnii Treaty AV1I1 Not Bo Long Delayed. London, Sept. 10. Neither the Colonial office nor the foreign oflico have received ofllcial information re garding tho anti-Asiatic riots at Van couver. Two long dispatches have been received at tho Japanese em bassy from Canada, but these have not been'communlcated to tho British government. The Colonial office di rectors say they do not expect any communication from Ottawa on tho suujeci ana wiuie uiu uvcui ia b'cuv- ..,,,, , , ii. i,i, i ly regretted the Imperial authorities 13 " ,, ... i 1 1 are sure the matter can be amicably , , . , . ,, f,, m . . . . j -t-ll iU. . l ..nnt SUUieU UUL.Vlll aim.i cw." w.v, .... cers of the Canadian government Washington, Sept. 10. That a stringent exclusion treaty between America and Japan is measurably nearer realization than tho most optimistical administration officials have believed forty-eight hours ago, is tho judgment of the members of tho diplomatic corps. This long sought object is expected to bo ob tained, perhaps as an indirect result of mobbing of the Japanese at Van couver. Tho officials deplore what they view as an unfortunate and un warranted Infraction of the treaty rights of tho Japanese, but they do not fall to perceive at once the im portant bearing this Incident will probably have upon negotiations be tween tho state department and tho Japanese embassador looking to the drafting of a treaty. The belief that the treaty is now within sight Is based on the condition that tho Japanese government will now be brought face to faco with tho fact that tho Asiatic cannot discrim inate between Great Britain and the United States in matters of demands for fair treatment for Its subjects and must by this timo be convinced that tho problem presented Is really a radical one. Tho only solution win , Ho in a formal recognition by the Japanese of tho right to restrict Coolie Immigration, not only in America but in British Columbia, Australia and other British colonies. To take any other view, it is pointed out here, would mean a breach of the alliance with England, of which the Japanese have been so proud and which they regard as so necessary to development of their ambitious schemes for exploitation of the east, for though tho British government may and doubtless will apologize for tho Vancouver affair and even pay indemnity, repetition of the incident is believed almost certain unless tho British government yields to the de mands of British Columbia in tho matter of restriction of Japaneso j As a matter of fact lmmlcrntion negotiations aro already on loot db tween the British and Japanese gov ernments to regulate the influx of Coolie laborers into British Colum bia. Tho Vancouver incident it is believed hero will hasten tho nego tiations to a conclusion, and if the Japanese enter Into treaty relations of that kind with Great Britain, she cannot refuse to do so with America, so that there Is after all prospects. Embassador Orki Is again In confer ence on thlB subject. PROTEST AT OTTAWA. Consul Nosso Presents Information to Premier Laurler. Jannnese Consul Nosso today re ceived the following telegram from Consul Mora Kito at Vancouver about 10:30 last night, (Monday). "Rioters set the Japanese primary school on fire, but the building was saved from destruction by the Japan ese. I at once Interviewed the Mayor at tho police station and made de mands on him to call out the militia whenever It was necessary." Consul General Nosse presented the telegram to Sir Wilfred Laurier. "All that I am doing," said Nosse, "Is to present to the premier in- formation of the disturbance as it reaches mo. The rest I leave to tho good sense of tho British and Cana dian government wlin hnvn niwnva treated us fairly. I am satisfied they will do so in tho future and that our people will have the protection of the Canadian laws. ATTEMPTS TO BURN. ! Cotton WaMc, Saturated With Oil Found Under Japanese Mission. Vancouver, Sept. 20. In great ex citement, Morlkawa went to Mayor Bethuno this morning and demanded he have tho militia called out to pro tect his countrymen. Morlkawa stated attempts was made to burn every Japanese house in Vancouver and that Cotton waste saturated with oil had been found under the door of tho Japanese methodlst Mission. Tho mayor tried to reassure tho con sul, assuring him that the authori ties had the situation well In hand. Finally to appease tho consul, the mayor agreed to telephone to Col. Holmes commanding the militia in this district asking that the militia bo ordered to hold themselves in readiness. Tho body of a Chinese was found hanging to a tree in a suburban garden today. It is report ed the Chinese was hanged by his countrymen for refusing to quit , ,. ., .: work. The police pronounce it a ' case of sulc de. Everything was ... ... ,,, quiet this morning in Vancouver in and about the oriental quarters and there has been no further attempts at renewed rioting. None of the Japanese have yet returned to work In the lumber mills which are still closed, though they expect to resume tomorrow. The strike of Chinese cooks bids fair to last longer and tho restaurants are closed. Hotels, clubs and private families are mak ln shift without cooks and Van couver people aro receiving an ob ject lesson In their dependence on Chinese domestics.

VISIT HIS OLD TIME COMPANION Wealthy Nevada Mining Man Visits Ills Friend Clay Moore and a Brother. J. W. Crossen, from Sliver Peak, Nevada, is a guest of his old time friend, Clay Moore. Mr. Crossen and Clay were companions and friends twenty years ago, and punch ed cattle on the ranges in Eastern Oregon and Idaho together. Mr. Crossen went to the Nevada gold fields two years ago and since then has accumulated a fortune. One of tho Incidents of his visit here was to look up a brother, Scott Grossen. whom he had not seen for a number of years. He was awaro his brother was in this vicinity, but did not know his exact whereabouts. Mr. Moore was able to locate the broth er, and Mr. Crossen spent several days at his home on Kentuck Inlet. This week, Mr. Crossen received word from Silver Peak to return home on business matters and he will sail today on the Plant. He will return, however, and finish out his vacation on Coos Bay, which ho thinks ono of the most pleasant places ho ever visited. He Is inter ested in many districts in the gold fields and has twenty-seven claims at Silver Peak which aro being sought by largo operators in that district. On his trip homo he will likely dispose of several of these claims, since that Is the matter which calls him. Mr. Crossen tried to prevail upon his friend Mooro to accompany him to Nevada for tho short Btay, offer ing to pay all the expense Incurred, but Clay has a certain prldo In tho way of money matters and so Is not going. Mr. Crossen, In his two years' ex perience In Nevada has seen and ob served a great deal and his tales of the ups and downs among tho min ing men and others Is interesting. He relates one instance of sudden acquirement of wealth which likely has been equaled but seldom is chronicled. A staid New Englander came out from Boston. Ho had al ways been a saving man and had ac cumulated some money which he took with him for Investment. Upon becoming acquainted, he lost his head and was drawn by tho fascina tion of gambling into ono of tho many games of chance which flourish in the gold region. Ho thought to take a short cut to wealth but in stead, lost ten thousand dollars, practically all ho had, except seven or eight hundred dollars. Ho then made up his mind to return homo and get down to hard work again. Before leaving, ho bought 60,000 shares of Mohawk mining stock, at 10 cents a share, and apparently for got all about It. One day, some tlmo afterwards, ho picked up a paper andlooklngat tho mining puotatlons, he saw Mohawk listed at $19 per share. Ho did not believe it was tho stock he held, and so, for a while, paid no attention to It. But ho finally made Inquiries and found his stock had Increased to that figure. He sold out at $18.50. The reader can figure for himself what this man made through sheer luck. Mr. Crossen says it is gratifying to get out of such a country for a tlmo and see trees and running water. In tho section of Nevada where he is located there 1b no living thing In tho way of verdure and water Is such a rarity that It costs consumers from three and a half to seven dollars per barrel, and most people think it cheap at that. Mr. Crossen has visited several sections of tho county, and thinks of making Investments when ho returns. He suggested to the Times roporter that a good booster sent to the mining districts of Nevada could interest Imany people In Coos Bay, since there are many there with accumulated wealth which they desire to Invest but do not know whoro to go, or what to do with their money. Alliance Will Sail Today. The Alliance will Ball today at ono o'clock from North Bend. The Flyer will connect with tho boat, leaving Marshfleld In tlmo for tho sailing.
