NEWS FROM FIJI.
INDIAN COOLIES AND CANAQA. Per Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Fiji files to hand to-day state that during tho past four months quite i number of Indians hav e left Fiji in the mail steamers for Canada. The voyage cost them £.12, this including a deposit required by the Canadian Government prior to their admission to the Dominion. Now, however, a Uw has been passed prohibiting them landing there, and it has been made retrospective. Three Indians left Suva in the R.M.S. Aorangi in January Fast, but the law had been passed prior to their arrival, so they had to return in the steamer, paying their passages both ways. The other men who landed previously will also have to return at their own expense.
'Mr. T. Ling, a chief mandarin of the fifth class, passed through Suva recently on his way to Samoa, where he lias been appointed commissioner of Chinese immigrants. The object of this visit to the Pacific is entirely confined to the drawing up of a report for his Government as to the labor conditions ot Chinese coolies in Samoa.
