ALIEN RESTRICTION.
♦ — LEGISLATION IN CALIFORNIA. STRONG PROTESTS. By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright New York, April IG. The Californian Lower House has passed the Bill preventing aliens from owning land for more than a year, unless they have expressed an intention of becoming American citizens. As Japanese are unable to become Americans in any circumstances, the Bill will impoverish .them. Opponents of the measure quoted the case of a young Englishman desiring to retain his nationality, and at the same time invest in Californian lands, but tho supporters of the Bill outvoted them by a large majority.' (Rec. April 17, 9.40 p.m.) San Francisco, April 17. • English and Continental interests are protesting strongly against the Alien Land Bill. Millions of pounds of foreign capital, it is declared, will be banished from California if the Bill is adopted. English representatives urge that the Bill ought to declare specifically if its intentions are against the Japanese, without seeking to hit the Japanese by roundabout methods.
