THE YELLOW AGONYTAXING CHINESE IN VICTORIA. Melbourne, December 14.
A deputation from the Victorian Anti-Chinese League waited upon the Premier to-day, to urge upon him the necessity of proposing legislation to prevent the further influx of Chinese into the colony. The deputation presented a resolution adopted at a recent meeting held at Carleton, which was in favour of the imposition of a residential tax of ;£2O upon all Chinese, and increasing the poll tax to Mr Gillies sympathised with the deputation, and expressed a hope that the non-issuo of further naturalisation papers, coupled with the thorough administration of the existing law, and united action on the part of the other colonies next year, would prevent evils arising from Chinese competition.
