McOreary, member of parliament from Selkirk, Manitoba, said in the house that 150 Doukhobors who recently emigrated to Canlda had entered the United States from Manitoba nnder contract In defiance to the alien labor law to work on a railroad. Many of them have returned to Manitoba. Tbe handling of tbe presidential train while en route is a matter requiring tbe utmost skill. Its itinerary is extremely difficult to arrange, presenting a problem that tries the nerves of railroad men, so tbey say, up to the limit. Stops must be made at every Important town, and such places must be reached by daylight while making as much use as possible of the night hours for running. Nothing gives greater offense to a local community than to have tbe executive and his party-landed in Its midst at auch an hour as 3 a. m., wheu tbe people cannot conveniently be on band with brass bands and tbelr women folk to offer the greeting tbey deem appropriate.
