are is no sign of _the activity o

intervention or blockade' of the Mexi can coasts. It has been intimated in official-cirelerthat nn'acf1lon'of wg. grass must be taken before any such step will result. Advices received to- day state that the insurrectory movement is Bpreadlng rapidly, not only in the North of Mexico, but in the__Ealt and South. ,The latest development is regarded here as very important as the callture of the southern and eastern coasts by the rebels would place them: in the large oil fields and thus insure a ful treasury for their campaign.

The deep water port on the gulf

coast will also be an enormous source of strength as it will enable them to get arms and the ammuni tions of wiir from Europeans in the West Indies.

The State Department is now look-

ing for news of the capture by rebels of Victoria on the northern coast, which would complete the control by rebels of the northern part of Mexico.

Reports from Vera Cruz today in-

dicated. that all bridges between Tam- plco and Victoria have been destroy- ed; train traffic is totally suspended, tracks to the north and south of V\ic> toria are torn up; and it is under- stood that the safety of a consider- able number of foreigners is threat- ened hy the -military operations. The German cruiser Bremen was at Tam- pico yesterday to afford safety to German refugees there. On the west coast the German cruiser San Bias has been despatched to gather re- fugees.

A deadlock seems to threaten to oc-

cur in regard to the proposed estab- lishment of a. factory in Charlotte- town for the manufacture of woolen underwear. As all who have the in- terests of the province at heart are convinced that the' introduction of

EUMMITS SUICIDE

(Canadian I‘f1-ws.)

industrial enterprises of this kind is' ,the great desideratum of the Island iin its march of progress-and should be given all public assistance com- 'nicnsurate with reason-it is unques- |tionably unfortunate that as yet no, satisfactory settlement has been ar- rived at. This is accentuated by the fact that the particular industry with respect to which these negotiations are taking place is peculiarly well adapted to this province. The pro- visional directors of the proposed company have sought sertain conces- sions at the hands of the City Coun- cil. In effect these are: exemption from city taxation for a term of 20 years; a. free site with suitable build- ings thereon, or in lieu thereof, a grant of $600 per annum for ten years. The Council nt its meeting on ivlonday night decided to grant the company exemption from taxation up to a valuation of $3o,000 for ten ye/urs and a bonus of $600 per annum for live years.

A meeting of the provisional direc-

tors-of the company, which, by the way, is to be known as The island Unshrinkable Underwear Company, was held last night, at Dr. Reid's of-

The matter was fully discussed,

taxation for probably the amount of $40,000 to $60,000, on account of the fact that in addition to its plant, which alone would be of the value of $35,000, the company vfould necessari- ly carry a. large stock of wool, manu- factured goods, etc. Further, it was .brought out that as the company had asked for the grant of $600 per year

Council in this respect, a grant of $600 per annum for five years, did not at all meet that need. _

It was therefore unanimously decid-

ed by a large and influential company gathering of taxpayers should have

STORM WARNINGS ANT)

LAKE DISASTERS.

WASI-il1\`G'1‘ON, November 17-In “lilly to published charges that the weather bureau had not given ade quzito warning to shipping on the great lakes of the approach of last wcek's terrific storm, resulting in n known loss of 2:.-i lives and to the announcement by Representative Gor don.__oi_Qllio_._.tha_t._ he _would seek _ nn investigation of the matter, the bur-

claring that "the storm throughout its course was heralded in as com- plete a manner as possible." Full re- sponsibility for thc forecasts was taken by the bureau, the local fore- caster at Cleveland being absolved from any, pnslsiblc blame.

I "On Thursday, when the storm was ‘over the Canadian ‘northwest small craft warnings were displayed at every station over the great lakes. On Friday, at 10 ri. mi., as the storm advanced and increased in intensity, signals were cbnnged to storm warn- ing!! 8nd displayed nt every point on the great lakes as far east as Oswe-' go. During the passage of the storml eastward warnings continued throughout the wlrolc lake region and were accompanied by forecasts of lower temperatures and snow.

"On Sunday morning, owing to an

.lpproaching secondary storm, moving northward in an abnormal manner, the added precaution was taken to repent the storm warnings on the

great lakes from Detroit eastward,,

those on the northern lakes being continued under existing rules. Fin- ally, Sunday evening, storm warnings were displayed again on the upper lakes, except Upper Lake Michigan and Western Superior.”

BRITISH PROBLEM

OF EAST INDIAN,

LONDON, November 17-The ques-

tion of the British East Indies hal again reached an acute stage, nearly: every dominion and colony to which these British subjects emigrate either barring them from entering or re-

n maining in those places.

The imperial government, having

T more to any in the government of the

crown colonies, than it has in those of the Domiuions has taken steps to make the life of the East Indian in those colonies more boarable. A commission composed of s. member of the British Indian government and an East In- dian of industrial experience, in visits ing the crown colonies, to which in- denturcd immigration is still per- mitted. for a thorough investigation into conditions of employment of East Indians and generally into their position and treatment in those col- onics.

In the llominions the imperial gov-

ernment, which would have Indians treated as are other British subllects, is ,faced with exactly the same dif- ficulty ns the federal government at Washingtonhas to deal with in con- necti.,»,i wltbl California’s anti-Japan- csc legislation. The people of the dominions insist upon having "white men’s countries."

NEW DECISION IN SOUTH AFRICA.

In South Africa, to the many other

disabilities imposed on East Indians, another bas been added by a decision of the high court. This declares that the wives, if sole wives, are not wives before the law of this union if they have been made so under the _rites which allow polygamous mar- ridges. i In Canada, East Indians are still refused admission, in spite of an ar- Trnngcment with Lord Harding viceroy 'of India, which is stated has been come to with the Canadian govern- ,ment, by whlchl special permits are ,to bc issued to East Indians desirous of visiting Canada. As in South Afri- ,ca, East Indians, who have acquired [domiciliary rights in Canada, are not allowed to bring their wives and children into the country owing to a provision in the immigration lawl which requires that they shall reach

TCuna.rla b an unbroken voyage from

British India. ,

Aa there is no direct steamship

communication between the countries, this provision cannot be complied with, :ind British Columbia is further embarrassing the imperial legislation to keep out not only British East In-'| dians, but subjects of_ England's ally, .lapi-.n.
