THE TRADE CONGRESS.

ANTI-CHINESE RESOLUTIONS. [per press association.] Brisbane, Maroh 5. The Intercolonial Trade Congress have passed further resolutions with reference to the Chinese question, urging that each colony should pass the same laws dealing with the Chinese, and make stringent regulations as to their being permitted m Australia. The Congress considers that a poll tax of ;£xoo should be imposed on all Chinamen entering Australia, and that an annual residence tax of not less than ;£io should also be imposed. A resolution was also passed disapproving of the Government employing any colored labor. The feeling on the Chinese question is so strong m Queensland that it is expected that the next election for Parliament will result m favor of all members who are inclined to expel the Chinese from that colony.
