THE ALIEN QUESTION.
BRITAIN'S FORBIGN POPULATION. United Press Association—By Etectric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 12. During tho nine months of the present year, 66,177 aliens, including 9490 sailors, arriwQ ani settled in the United Kingdom, compared with 63,772 and 10,357 for the whole of the laM year. ["Since the Government dropped their Aliens Bill," siys the "Daily Express," "fordgners have become aggressively offensive in many parts of the Eaft Knd. In Stepney, for example, an Englishman is an alien m his own city. Stepney, to all intents and purposes, is now a foreign town, for the borough swarms with aliens, who have drivtn out tlie British not only from tlie shops, but even from the dwell-ing-houM\s. The aliens have also begun to assume such airs of arrogance that in parts of Stepney a Londoner stands the chance of being insulted simply because he is? not a foreigner. ... In other parts of the Eist End the fnnio tnle is told of the ag'grcesivo behaviour of the foreigner."]
