WELSH FOR CANADA.
A deputation representing 500 Welsh settlers in Patagonia has appealed to Mr Chamberlain to provide a transport to Canada, where the Government is willing to supply land and facilities for settlement. Mr Chamberlain regretted the application. He had been led to believe the Welshmen desired to settle in the colonies in South Africa, where land, with assistance to stock farms, was available. The British Government had long discontinued assisting emigrants to self-governing colonies. He suggested a fresh appeal to the Canadian Premier or to the liberality of the British public.
