ANOTHER SCORE OF HINDUS IN
-------------------

Party Reached Victoria Today and Are Held for
Examination.

Chicago Maru Had Tempestuous Trip Across the
Pacific.

------------------Victoria, Nov. 27,--After having completed the examination of a
contingent of fifty-six Hindus and unravelling a great immigration problem,
the officials at the Victoria detention buildings are now face to face with
another similar task.
When the liner Chicago Maru berthed from the Orient this morning it
was learned that there were twenty natives of the Indian empire booked to
this port and after a brief examination they were permitted to disembark and
escorted to the detention buildings, where exhaustive examinations will be
made as to their health and certificates.
Some of the Chicago Maru`s contingent are returning Hindus who have
been back home on a visit but quite a number are newcomers. The twenty
Hindus joined the vessel at Hongkong. Of course they did not come direct
from their native land and therefore the old immigration trouble will once
again be argued, but following the judgement of a few days ago, it is possible
that all the newcomers will be permitted to gain admission to Canada.
Another tempestuous passage across the Pacific was reported by the
Chicago Maru, which was conquered in the race from Yokohama to this coast,
by the liner Awa Maru. She brought a light cargo and discharged 300 tons of
general merchandise at this port. Her silk shipment was valued at $500,000.
She proceeded to the Sound at 1 p. m. today.
