THE CltlNrSK MUST GO.
The cry that Ims been hoard from Cal
ornia for years is now re-echoed by the
Jritish Columbians , who say "tho Ohi-
030 must Go. " Tito British Columbia
ovcrnmont has forwarded a petition to
10 governor-general of Canada request-
ng that the dominion government bring
n n bill to restrict Chinese immigration
nlo that province. The Chinese papula-
ion of the province is placed nt 18,000 ,
lie majority of vrhoin were brought every
> y the Canadian Pacific railway conlract-
rs in a ittato of comparative destitution ,
'hoy ' are now thrown out of employment
nd become n charge on the revenue of
ho country. The influx of this undsir-
bio class of immigrants , it is represent-
d , works seriously against the province
icing settled by n white population ,
iwing to the degrading habits and nnjoci *
lions of the Chinamen. They nrn bo *
'ond ' sanitary control , neglect their sick ,
nd defeat justice by secret organizations.
Such is the roproiontation made to Lord
' .iinsdowno of the condition of the Chi-
icso in British Columbia , nnd in nuking
or restrictive legislation , they request
hat , as in the case of the provincial gov-
oinmont nnd municipal council , they
nay bo excluded from all employment on
public works.
The provincial government has taken
.ho initiative with the view to driving
ho Chinese out of the country , but the
) owcr to prevent immigration rests alone
vith the dominion government. A bill
ins been introduced by the government
n the provincial legislature making it
: ompulsory for every Chinese person
over fourteen yours of ago to take a
fccnno , for which $100 will have to bo
> aid annually , failing to do which a fine
of $10 will bo imposed. Any ono om-
> loying a Chinaman who has notnlicense
n his possession will bo liable to a fine of
50. This bill , if passed , will probably
) o the moans of materially reducing the
Chinese population of British Columbia.
IT is said that President Arthur is very
onsitivo to nowapaper attack and criti-
ism. Ho is a close newspaper reader ,
nnd nothing escapes the eye that in any
way refers to him. At the Wlrto IIouso
nearly every important newspaper in the
Jnitod States is taken and road. A great
many papers are nont with the compli-
nonts of the publishers , nnd the presi
dent subscribes for a largo number. From
Id habit ho roads the Now York papers
hrough each morning , and glances at the
ity papers , but for dealing with the
rcat mass of daily newspapers there is a
lork specially detailed to look them
lirough and clip out all nowa relating to
ho president and his policy , and arrange
hem for his inspection. Wo venture to
ay that from now until the Chicago con
tention the president nnd his clerk will
) o kept pretty busy with the newspapers
f the country.

trong sentiment in both houses that the

f the road and the fact that there was
10 money subsidy given it as in the ease
of the Union Pacific. It is believed ,

OTHEll LANDS TllANOVRfS.
The opening of the British parliament
vhich occurred on last Tuesday , was the
iriucipal event of the week in England ,
nd ono which had boon looked forward
0 with n great deal of interest. The
Lticon , in her speech which was prepar-
d before the receipt of the disaster in
ho Soudan , and which was a very brief
nd ordinary document discussed Egyp-
ian affaire at eomo length , and among
) thor things she stated that the condi-
ion of Ireland continues to exhibit those
eaturcs of substantial improvement which
ho described on two occasions when she
ast addressed parliament. She stated
hat a measure would at onoo bo present-
d which would have for its principal ob-
ect the enlargement of the occupation
ranchiso in parliamentary elections
hroughout the United Kingdom. She
dmits that a judicious extension of the
ranchiso will result in closer attachment
if the nation to the throne , to the law ,
, nd to the institutions of the country ,
Mid that n like effect will follow from the
tension and reform of local govern
ment. She virtually recommends an al-
oviation of burdens by improved arrange-
moKts and the enlargement of the paw
ns of rate payers through the roprcson-
ativo syotom.
Parnoll finds fault with that part of the
uoen's speech roforrinc to the govern
ment's policy in Ireland. Its tendency ,
10 says , has not been to tranquillize the
eoplo. Ho especially deplores the wan-
on prohibition of legal nnd constitution-
1 meetings , thereby free speech has
eon practically quenched in Ireland.
That part of the queen's speech refer-
ing to Egyptian a 11 airs was made the
ubjoct of considerable criticism. The
Marquis of Salisbury , in the house of
ords , oxproased great aurpriao in face
if the sinstor news received that very
lay at the viowa of Baron Vernon , who
rusted that the policy in Egypt would
) o attended with good results , as the
iclicy was founded on the liberal motto
> f peace , retrenchment nud reform. The
ilarquis of Salisbury could not listen to
such speeches with complacency. Ho
criticised the queen's speech for contain-
ng no allusions to the wrongs Buffered
n Madagascar. The paragraph ronpcct-
ng Egypt was probably intended to cre
ate the impression that the government
lid not hold itself responsible for the
lisastorjto Egypt. Salisbury complained
hat England's position towards Egypt
was not defined.
In the house of commons Robert
Jourko , conservative , moved an amend
ment , and pointed out the failure of the
> olicy in Egypt. Ho reviewed the recent
ivonts , nnd said that the result of the
; ovornmont's attempt at reforms was
hat the patient was dying while the decor -
or was trying experiments. Bourko's
amendment , however , was rejected by a
argo majority. Tins was a great victory
'or the liberals , TV ho were very jubilant
over the collapse of the debate , which
las placed the conservatives in a some-
vhat ridiculous position.
Under the usual arrangement between
lie government nnd opposition whips
ho speakers wore to continue a success-
vo debate until Fiiday , when a division
waste take place , the conservatives ox-
locting disaster to Baker Pasha's troops
vould contribute to the defeat of the
; overnmont. The amendment would
mvo been negatived without division if
Sorthcoto had not challenged a division.
The a oakor allowed the conservatives n
eng time to marshal their forces , nnd
: ho whip scoured the. lobbies of the house
Dut could collect only twenty members.
The incident is unprecedented in the
iiistory of pailiament. Tho.consorvntivcn
accuse the government of trickery. The
members of the cabinet , however , state
[ lositivoly that there was no intention to
: lese the debate. All the cabinet mom.
ben were absent from the divisionowing
to a special cabinet council on Egyptian
affairs. In political clubs nnd the lobby
thu conEorvntivo collapse was attributed
to the imbecility of the leadership and
the absence of un ellicient whip.
At n recent campaign gathering nl
Borminghain , Mr. Bright and Air ,
Chamberlain spoke ut length on the proa *
pocta of thu session and the intentions ol
the government. They uaod almost
coarse language in denouncing the tactic ;
of the tory party and their eilurta to om <
barracs the government. There ia nc
doubt the liberals will force the frnnchis (
bill through the I ouao of commons , but
the tones hope to make such n show ol
opposition as will justify the house ol
lords in rejecting the measure , Mr
Gladstone would bo quito prepared t <
dissolve parliament on such an issue.
Mr. Bradlaugh will make an attomp
to take his seat on the llth. Ho wil
bo opposed by Jio torics , and it n no
unlikely that the matter will bo made i
party question , in which case ho will b <
admitted. The radicals feel that tin
house ia placed in a false position , fron
which it should bo extricated at onco.
In Ireland , Lord Spencer's' govern
ment , abandoning the good precedent i
sot in defending the. nationalist meotin
at Dromoro , has issued proclumatioi
after proclamation forbidding such meet
ings in other parts of Ulster. As thes
meetings are unquestionably legal
the government by forbiddin
them simply confesses it
complete inability to dpfeu
its citizens iu the oxorclsQ at their rightt
nnd eta n precedent for forbiddl.ijJ
ft < 3clffigs in the _ other provinces whici *
might create disturbance nmong their
inttonalist and Homnn Catholic majority ,
' 'hi most extreme and the most foolish
f these proceedings wns the order which
obaircd Mr , Bigger from addressing his
wn constituents nt Cooteshill. The no-
ess which a member of parliament on-
oys to these who hnvo elected him by
mblic addresses , in exposition nnd de *
once of his own conduct as their rcpro-
cntativo , is an integral part of the par-
iamontnry cystem. When Mr. Biggar
s singled out as the only member to
whom it is refused , the world ia npt to
? sociato this treatment with the fact
hat ho is ono of the most rough-opokon
f the homo rule party , nnd to remember
hat neither Earl'Spcncer nor Mr. Glad-
tone has escaped his acerbity. Mr. Big-
; cr went to Cootoihill according to nu-
lointmont , but wns accompanied by a do-
achmcnt of police during the time of his
ircscnco in the town ; and the most child-
ah precautions were taken to prevent his
addressing anyone , except in private con-
orsation.
The exciting events of the week in
] gypt have been the topic of convoraa-
ion nil ever the civilized world. The
liaoatrous defeat of Baker Pasha was
certainly unexpected , and , therefore ,
ho news that his army was almost an-
lihilatod by the Arabs , and that Baker
ind a few officers barely escaped with
heir lives by flyimr back to the coast of
ho Rod Sea at Trinkitat and embarking
on transports , caused the most intense
excitement in England. The details of
ho disaster have boon given in the dis-
latches , late advices being to the effect
hat the total killed near Toknr wns
2,250 , , including 00 officers. Probably no
{ oneral ever proiocded on an expedition
\ ith nn army less trustworthy nnd plans
oss definite than those of Baker Pasha ,
for this the general is not blamed. None
no was moro keenly aware than ho was
f the folly of attempting the roconqucst
f Berber and Khartoum with the spirit-
ess troops at his disposal. In consent-
ng to assume the chief command ho
acted solely from a sense of duty nnd in
ho hope that in the course of time his
ittlo i.rmj of incapabloa might bo sufli-
lontly recruited from the non-Egyptian
csidunts of the Delta or the islands of
ho Levant or the European provinces of
'tirkoy ; or , again , that the Abyssinian s
night bo induced by n territorial con-
cssion to assist the Egyptian govern-
nont.
Baker Pasha" troops consisted of nearly
,000 men when ho arrived at Suakim.
? ho majority of them had been them-
ulvcs in revolt against the Egyptian gov-
rnmoiit under Arubi last year. Mnnv
) f the soldiers wore forced at the point
f the bayonet to join the ranks or were
irought in chains to Suakim. The black
" oops which Zobohr Pasha had recruited
voro well known to bo poor fight era , and
voro believed to bn in sympathy with
ho False Prophet. However , General
Jakor , with this force , joined by about
00 moro men dragged from different
larts of Egypt , attempted to carry out
as indefinite plans of campaign.
The condition of Sinkatis reported
riticnl , nnd it is liable to bo captured at
any hour. At Sunkim Baker Pnsha has
nly 3f , > 00 men , and one-third of them
are not armed. It would scorn that
uakim , too , is liable to fall into
ho hands of the rebels , but the
correspondent of The London Times at
Suakim saya : "Tho port of Suakim it-
iclf is safe. Not if nil the Mahdi'a forces
rorp outside , and General Baker's army
Annihilated , would the place bo in dan-
; or , HO long as our own vessels of war

vay , and an enemy attempting to enter

Flushed with victory the Arabs will
irobablyjiush right on and with reinforcp-
nonts will gain fresh victories. Their
recent success is causing revolts among
-ho various tribes , who have up to this
into , remained quiet , and their ranks
are constantly increasing. The threat
ening aspect of affairs will stir up Eng
and to her utmost to put down the fol
lowers of the FalsoJProphet. This will
iow require moro nwnoy and moro
iroops than England had any idea of ,
rhon the trouble began. The Soudan

Fears are entertained for the safety of
lenoral Gordon. The ntory ofhin capture
adiscreditpd. Gen. Gordonupon , starting
out upon his mission to endeavor to pacify
ho rebels and straighten out Egyptian
affairs , ia reported to have said that it
would cost $10,000,000. to stamp out ro-
) ollion in the Soudan and effectually gir-
risen the principal points. Since the
disastrous defeat of Bak r * , General Gnr-
lon.will probably double his estimate.
General Gordon loft Assouan a few days
nqo for Khartoum , with n fortnight's
ournoy before him. lie took only a
ii'.iall escort , and his journey lies through
t country not only full of political rebel-
ion , but maddened with religious fanati
cism , for El Malidi appears to its people
lot only ns the predicted Messiah but as
: ho savior who is to releaao them from
Egyptian bondage. It ho should overreach
roach Khartoum alive ho will bo likely to
iiul it in the possession of El Mahdi

lis fanatical Bedouins. Thoio ia

combination of qualities which go to
nmko up the man. Few men combine
courage and judgment in such an equal
degree as ho. This was shown by his
iplendid management of the Taiping rp-
liolliou and by his intrepid conduct in
[ ho strongholds of the Soudan slave-
dealers. There are norno men who carry
everything before them by the bhcao
Forco'of thuir magnetic personality andto-
whcra the fates tire propitious , whatever
danger they may confront. Ho wonbinia

it is noi reckless. Gon.NGordouuhaa al

The Russian budget was never known
