British Indians from Cape Colony, They suggest that India might reasonably refuse indentured labour under the Indian Eini- gration Act to the Colonies that deny to British subjects of Indian birth those rights that are enjoyed by negroes of inferior civilisation and by foreigners who have no claim, but which the Indian im- migrant daily establishes by the perfomance of some service required by the cominunity.

A correspondent in Eastern Persia says that prices are very high there owing to the drought, which has continued for two Уелгр. Grain is being imported from India; and the season in now to late for a recovery. There is rain and snow, and a continuance of high prices is probable.
