Chinese on the Rand.

WELLINGTON OBJECTS. Wellington, Jan. 16. A public meeting was held to-night to discuss the policy of the British Government in regard to Chinese Labo. - ,in the Transvaal. The meeting was well attended, and the folio. viog resolution was passed: — That whereas the late British Government, at the dictation of a small number of capitalists, has seen fit to introduce Chinese coolie labor into the Transvaal on the pretence that the richest gold mines in the world would not pay if free white labor were employed ; and whereas such policy is at variance with the sentiment and traditions of the British race, this meeting hereby expresses its hearty sympathy with the policy of the British Liberal party as unfolded by its leader, Sir H. C. Bannerman, and trusts that for the sake of the honor and the good name of the Empire that policy will be endorsed by the electors of Great Britain and Ireland."
