LONDON, Saturday.. ' Lord Elgin, Secretary if State for the Colonies, is in harmony with the deputation of British Indians from the Transvaal that waited upon him, and has disallowed the Transvaal's Asiatic . Law Amendment Ordinance providing i for the registratation of all Asiatics and I the expulsion of those who are unable . to prove that they are lawfully resident i in the colony. . \ i Lord Selborne favoured the ordinance, but Lord Eigin, while sanctioning the Vredcdorp Stands Ordinance, disagrees with the proposed .restriction preventing Indians holding land. The "Westminster Gazette" says that Lord Elgin's decision regarding registration will tend to educate the ) Traiisvaal to a fuller sense of its part I in a great Empire of many races.
