CHINESE ON THE RAND.
A NOTABLE DEPUTATION. MINERS AND BAD LANGUAGE. By Telegraph.—Press Association Copyright. (Eeaeiveil July 4, 10.35 p.m.) Capetown, July 4. A deputation of Rand miners has waited upon the High Commissioner of South Africa, and asked him for protection from the Chinese. Lord Selbourne replied that the bad language the Chinese used against the whites appeared to be the sole cause of the trouble. Although 40,000 Chinese were employed on the Rand, only 20 cases of assault nad occurred in a year, and 14 of these had occurred in two mines, and the six others in the remaining 26 mines. He urged the whites to refrain from drink and the use of bad language, and to thus set a good example to the Chinese.
