THE VANCOUVER HINDUS.

A SETTLEMENT REACHED. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] Vancouver, July 21. , After 'a day of excitement, during which the Rainbow’s guns were trained on the-Komagata Marti,with armed military men, militia and special police ready to descend on the Hindus, peace has been 'arranged through the good offices of the shore Hindus. The latter, after negotiating for a whole day, induced the komagata Mam's Hindus to agree to the Immigration Department’s offer to provide provisions and medicine sufficient for the return journey if the Hindus left immediately/ Arrangements were thereupon made to raise steam, and it is believed that the steamer will depart within twenty-four hours. Mr Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, represented the Borden Cabinet at Mr Borden’s special request. It was known after a settlement had been effected that All* Bolden h./l been in communication with the Colonial Office, from which he received a request to exhaust every peaceable 'means before resorting to force. Mr Burrell acted accordingly, although local opinion, inflamed by the recent affray, favored the most vigorous measures against the Hindus. ‘‘GETTING STEAM UP.” (Received 11.0 a.m.) Vancouver, July 22.
