SCOTS FOR CANADA.
A HEAVY EXODUS. (BT CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTBALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, April 16. The heavy exodus of Highlanders to Canada is causing some misgivings Five hundred men, women, and children from Loch Boisdale, and the Outer Hebrides, mostly landholders in the Islands, sailed yesterday, and 500 more from Lewis will sail in a few days. The emigrants are mostly Catholics. The migration movement was initiated by a priest. The reason given for relinquishing good holdings, which are eagerly sought after by others, is that there are better opportunities for children in Canada.
