(Received March 10, 1903.)
[Copy to Foreign Office, March 21, 1903. L.F.j
Government House, Perth, February 12, 1903. In continuation of my despatch, No. 2, of the 27th January,* in reply to your despatch of the 16th October last, with reference to the position of Asiatics in Australia, I have the honour to inform you that, in addition to the Acts of this State already forwarded to you, the Commonwealth Act, 1 Edward VII., 17, should have been quoted as being the law in force in this State.

I have, &c.,
E. A. STONE,

SIR,
No. 16.
HONG KONG.
COLONIAL OFFICE to FOREIGN OFFICE.
Downing Street, April 28, 1903. WITH reference to your letter of the 30th September last, and to subsequent correspondence regarding laws applicable to immigrants of Asiatic race in certain Colonies, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain to request you to inform the Marquess of Lansdowne that Mr. Chamberlain's attention has been drawn to the fact that that part of M. Cambon's enquiry which related to Hong Kong has remained unanswered.
2. In expressing Mr. Chamberlain's regret for this oversight, I am to say that there are no laws in force in Hong Kong, regulating the immigration of persons of Asiatic race, as such.
3. The only laws which are applicable to immigrants of Asiatic race during their residence in Hong Kong, are certain Ordinances relating to persons of Chinese race, and to such persons only. Copies of these Ordinances can be furnished, if desired. It will be observed that they are not applicable to Japanese.
