If the Colonial Office had come to such a decision, it could only be in the absence of a full knowledge of the facts of the case. It must not he thought, however, that Australia looked to England alone for help. The colonies were quite able to protect themselves, but they looked to the Empire for an additional safeguard. It was possible that one, if not more, of the colonics would take such a view of the question as to render all that the other colonics could do fruitless to protect the continent. It was in view of that contingency that the assistance of the Imperial Government was important. If we had a treaty similar to that which the United States had just secured, we would have immediate and absolute cessation of all Chinese immigration to any part of Australia. He believed that we could get that Imperial alliance, and, indeed, we must get it.

The Chinese question. formed a subject of dis- cussion on Monday between the Premier and Mr. L. V. Solomon, of the Northern Territory, who sought permission to present a petition from the people of the Northern Territory, praying that no effort would be spared by the Govern ment of Victoria to assist them in the endeavours to restrain Chinese immigration to that portion of South Australia. Mr. Gillies pointed out that the petition contained severe strictures upon the Government of South Australia. It would not be a wise act to receive a petition containing condemnathy language of a Government with whom they were on the most friendly terms, His impression, after consultation with the Ministers, was that South Australia desired to co-operate with the other colonies in arriving upon a basis to cope with the Chinese dificulty Joint legislation was necessary, for without com mon action it would be impossible to enforce restrictive provisions. He sympathised with the attitude assumed by the people of the Northern Territory, but was convinced that they would gain their wishes more by temperate representa tions than by strong language. He was glad to be place in possession of the opinions of the Northern colonists, and was convinced that on further deliberation they would see the wisdom of the course he was pursuing.. --
BRISHANE, April 25th.
The correspondence between the Premiers of Queensland and Victoria on the Chinese question has been published. In his last communication Mr. Gallic snysY-- I shall be glad to know the exact nature of the legislation you would propose because to be effective it should be uniform." Sir Samuel Griffith, replying, says The proposals intended to be made by this Govern ment to Puliament, which will probably include an address to her Majesty on the subject, will be communicated to you as soon as details are determined."

The yellow flag was hoisted to facilitate the carrying out of the precaution. Subsequently the vessel was removed to quarantine. Two police were placed on board to prevent any leaving.

A deputation from the Trades Hall Council wailed on the Premier on Saturday to protest against the landing of Chinese. Mr. Gillies informed them that the Government had deter mined, as far as the law allowed, to prevent the landing of Chinese from the Afghan, and any

They seemed to take matters very quietly,
