THE CHINESE QUESTION.
• [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.J [Special to Press Association.] THE VIEWS OF THE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT. LONDON, May 10. Sir F. Dillon Bell is of opinion that the Imperial Government will not take any action in connection with the influx of Chinese into Australia until the colonies are unanimous on the subject. In the House of Commons, Sir John Gorst, replying to a question asked by Mr Heaton, said the Government were aware of the strong objection the Australian Governments had to the Chinese landing on their snores, and the matter had received the careful consideration of the Cabinet. [Per Press Association.] LONDON, May 10. Lord Knutsford, Secretary of State for the Colonies, replying to the request of Sir Graham Berry, said he thought if the colonies agreed to limit the number of Chinese who should be permitted to land in Australia it would be preferable to a policy of total exclusion.
