HEALTH INSPECTION.
NEW IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS. J] } r table Press Association—Copyright London, February 11. It is expected that the new mcdicil inspection of emigrants will be fully operating at the end of March. There will be a referee in every town where there is a passenger agent. Officials repudiate the suggestion that the scheme will seriously reduce emigration to Australia. They say that Canada and the other dominionsare earnestly and sympathetically watching developments. They regard the fact that a hundred British emigrants to the United States are not admittad every month as unfit as sufficient warning and full justification for a careful mcdicil examination here. They declare that passenger agents are not generally protesting, though the shipping companies are not pleased, especially at the com- ' , pulsory examination of first and secondclass passengers. A prominent agent asserts that the trans-Atlantic shipping companies are laughing and clapping their hands at the prospect of a diversion of Australan immigrants to Canada and the United States.
