American Citizens Residing There Call Upon the President to Weto the Atien Labor Bill. ROSSLAND, B. C., Feb. 20.—At a mee ing of American citizens last night the following resolution was adopted : To his Ezccllency Grover Cleveland, President of the United States: WaEREAS, 1t has pleased the American Con- gress Lo pass an alien _labor law, containing a clause known as the Corliss’ amendment, which is especially directed against the wage. ers of Canada; therefore, be it olred, By the andersigned American oftl- . ‘residents of Rossland. representing & number of the 25,000 American resi- dents of British Columbia. 1. That the Corliss amendment is un-Amerl- can and & aisgrace to civilization, and if allowed to become & law can only result in the destruction of that mutual goodfellowship now generally existing among the people of both countries. 2. That many thousands of American eciti- zeus are now residents of, and heavily & terested in, the development of the newly d covered goid and_silver mines of British Co- Iumbia, where the most cordial relations pos- sible exist between the citizens of the two countries, 3. That the Western States of America no longer offer attractions for immigrants on sccount of the prevailing depression in busi- ness, and the vast deposits of the precio metals recently discovered in British Colu Dia and the northwestern part of the United States and now being exploited promise to do more toward_relieving the congested condi- tion of the labor market in both countries in {he near future than all other resources com- bined. Therefore your petitioners respectfully re- est that you eXxercise your prerogative as the chief executive of the greatest republic on earth by refusing to_sign iho alien labor bill recently passed by Congress and return it with your veto. A member of the aundience protested against the gxp;aauson, ““disgrace to American civilization,” but was hissed. The expression wus defended vigorously by E. C. Clarke, who said that were it not for disgraceful legislation Americans need not be in Canada. That an intelligent or supposed intelligent body should pass such lezislation was iacomprehensible, but the act would not receive the President’ signatare. A resolution was passed to wire the resolution to the President. DONT MISS THE BALDWIN CLOTHING €O, 994 10 930 Market Street. BALDWIN ANNEX. | I The Great Bankrupt Sale| has caught on like wildfire.

The late heavy rain has played sad havoe with the condition of Point Lobos avenue.

Park | Commissioner Austin said yesterday: *The Park Commissioners will, I am almost sure, at their next meeting au- thorize an expenditure of from $4000 to | $5000 on the improvement of Point Lobos | avenue. We are aware that the avenue | needs repairs, but there were so many de- mands for money for the park that we were forced to go slowly concerning the avenue. “There was a desire on the part of some people owning property in Richmond to | have our jurisdiction removed from that thoroughtare and given to the Supervisors, | and we were not disposed 10 oppose_their wishes. Butnow that the Point Lobos Improvement Club favors existing official control, we will expend some money. “Itis out of the question to consider putiing down sidewalks. The Park Com- missioners haye no right or authority to lay sidewalks in front of private property any more than have the Supervisors.” Very little damage has been done to the park Dy the sterm. A few treeshave been shaken so that they needed bracing to fortify them against damage by future storms. The long-looked-for opening of Seventh- ayenue boulevard from the south side of the park to Ingleside is now an assured certainty since the Spring Vailoy Water Company and ex-Mayor Sutro have deeded the necessary strip of land through their property 1o the City from M street in a direct line to the Corbett road, which leads from Ocean avenue (o Duncan street by Ingleside racetrack. This will make a pleasant drive from the park to the south- ern portion of the City. A portion of this road has already been graded by Captain John Tutie from H street to M. The grading of tie remaiader through to Corbett road will be com- menced in the early spring and pushed to a finish, as all obstacles have now been removed.
