HONGKONG, MAY 23RD, 1905.
THE question of alien immigration at the British capital has been lifted into the posi tion of one of the most important moot subjects of the year. The British Premier declures that the British "are amply justi fied in determining the conditions under
which we will or will not admit the citizens of other nations." America claims a like right by deeds as well as words, and there- by sets mercantile China by the ears. Australia, labour ridden, has long been notorious for its pronounced views on the subject. British Columbia tried to emulato its American neighbours. An old Hong kong resident, apparently hot in the midst of the London campaign, suggests that it is our duty to begin a similar agitation in Hongkong.
It may not be true, but it is being reported in Japan that Russia is seeking to sell three of her biggest state-owned railways. Russia's uncle" at the miont de piëtë having failed to oblige, the hard-up" client appears to be seeking an auctioneer.
