London, April 19. In the House of Commons, Mr Akers Louglas, introducing the Aliens Bill, quoted statistics os to the growing influx, also of orime. The Bill safeguards the right of a political asylum. Emigrant ships will in future be admitted to eight ports only, where machinery to exclude undesirables will be established. It omits tho clause relating to prohibited areas. The country desired, besides the expulsion of criminal aliens, the exclusion of the destitute, deseased, or criminal. Sir Charles Dilke, opposing the Bill, denied the accuracy of the statistics. The evil, dealt with under the Bill was trifling, except in a district or two, in the shape of sweating. The evil oould be mot with by anti-sweat-ing legislation.
