WRECKED SEAMEN.
ASIATICS MUST NOT LAND, AUSTRALIAN HOSPITALITY REFUSED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, June 30. The shipping companies complain of tho harassing effect of tho Alien Restriction Act with regard to shipwrecked Asiatics. Tho Union Steam Ship Company is the latest victim. Tho British law says that distressed seamen must be landed from a wreck. It makes no distinction with regard to colour. Tho Australian law, on the othor hand, prevents tlie landing of aliens.
Tho Tofua recently brought up the shipwrecked crew of tho Kilbnrn from Fiji. ■ They were mostly Asiatics, and tho captain of tho Tofua found he could not land tho men. They were taken back to tho islands, but one escaped, and for him the company is liable to tho extent of one hundred pounds.
