CHINESE AND INDIAN PROTEST. AGAINST RESTRICTIVE LAWS. MRS. BESANT SUPPORTS THEIR CLAIMS. By Telegraph.— Press Association .—Copyright. (Received July 29, 10.20 a.m.) LONDON, 28th July.

The situation was steadily improving, A Chinese delegate urged the Congress to send a protest to Australia and the United States asking for fair play for honest Chinese workmen, the most sober and law-abiding in the world. Mrs. Annie Besant, president of the Theosophical Society, said Indiana claimed freedom to live in white men's countries. It was monstrous that the whites, while they claimed the best-paid posts in the coloured man's country, claimed the right to shut him out of a j white country.
