AUSTRALIAN IMMIGRANTS. Work, is none too plentiful in the Commonwealth States judging by the number of steerage passengers, mostly young fellows. who arrived here by the Wimmera yesterday afternoon. Asked the reason for changing their place of residence, some stated that "tilings ■were pretty bad at the present time on the other side." Why, they "didn't know, unless it was the indiHerent Government. The country was good enough., but it didn't appear to be run on satisfactory lines.' . Most >ctf the young fellows appeared to be of a robust stamp, such as would make handy men in the country.
