INDIANS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

It has long since been acknowledged that the question of the treatment moled out in some of the British Colonies to the King's subjects of Asiatic ráce raises uno of the most complex and knotty of our many Imperial problems. And since we came into possession of what were formerly the Transvaal and the Orange Free State the fact has been oven still more pointedly emphasised, a specially in connection with the very extensive immigration of Indinus to our South African territories. Great attention has been given to the subject during, the past two or three years, largely in consequence of reposted representations which have been made to the Imperiul Government on the disabilities and alloged indignities which natives of the Indian Empire have suffered.
