IN AMERICA, The envoy traces the comlitions of Chinese labour in the United States and in the Dominion of Canada: Both these States have stringent laws regarding alien labour, in the former the Exclusion Act of 18941in tanta meant to prohibition, while in the latter the laws in force dealing with Chinese immigration are more of a restrictive than of a prohibitive nature. The Dominion impores a ompilation lax of 100 dollars on every Chinese immigrant, bat strenuous forts are now being made to have this increased to the same number of pounds sterling-that is, firefold. Mr. Skinner desires to make it clear that the grave objec tious existing in California and other Amerienu of Chinese are entirely Staten to the

Decidedly most of the people here will hail this innovation (for though it is the wholesale price, it will of course mesh a fall in the present retail price) with joy, for most of them are Russians who have lived in Siberia, and who cannot live in comfort without plenty of butter, and I suppose they would all like to see their own country's trade extended.

The question of guilds or combinations is danger, and with statesmanlike prescience it is pointed out that all the present efforts to increase the supply of Kafr labour should be vigerously maintained, with a view to balancing, as far as possible, the different classes of unskilled labourers on the Rand mines, Hero it is impossible to completely suremarise the result of Mr. Skinner's investigations in the Malay States and China-for those the report must be referred to.
