HINDOOS IN TRANSVAAL.
Press Association. —Copyright
London, February 16.
Lord Elgin, Colonial Secretary, in harmony with the deputation of British Indians from the Transvaal that waited upon him, has disallowed the Transvaal Legislatures’ Asiatic law amendment ordinance for the registration of all Asiatics and the expulsion of those who were unable to prove that they wore lawfully resident in the colony. Lord Selborne favored the Ordinance. Lord Elgin, while sanctioning'the Yrededorp Staadts ordinance, disagreed with the restrictions preventing Indians from holding land.
The Westminster Gazette says the Earl of Elgin’s decision, regarding registration, will tend to educate the Transvaal to a fuller sense of its part in a great Empire of many races.
