THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

Pross Association—Copyright. Received, Dec. 8, S p.m. London, Dec. 7. The Hamburg correspondent of the Daily Mail reports that 200,000 workers have returned to Europe from the United- States, and nearly 100,000 who intended to proceed to America have decided to remain in Europe. It is expected that this great reflux will result in labour difficulties. [Hamburg is the centre of the huge emigration concentrated from all Europe to the great German Steamship lines]. New York, December 7. A convention of Oalifornian fruit growers at Maysvillo unanimously recommended tiio rejieal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, urging Congress to admit a fixed liberal number of Chinese and Japanese on the same conditions as apjily to European immigrants. The memorial declares that the industries are threatened with extension for lack of reliable labour, and that there was no evidence that the States in the West suffered from the prosenco of Chinese prior to their exclusion. John, well-known Irish journalist, declared that the real peril of the country was immigration from Southern and South-eastern Europe. The present conditions in the fruit regions were due to labour agitators who wore mostly aliens.
