A private letter received in Wellington recently from an ex-New Zealander, now living in China, statei that the Chinese Government will in the not d'stant future insist upon the British Government removing the present ot'stacles to the free admission of Chinamen within the British domini us. The Chinese officials in authority make no secret of their determinst'on to all the white races out of the Empire if the restrictions are not removed. They are said to have Japan at l.heir baok in this matter, though the Mikhdo's advisers veil their movements in secrecy. The writer says that the fusion of the Chinese and Japanese forces is a jrave menace to Australasia, and he has it ■•n the authority of a mandarin of the highest rank, who is intimately connected with the Chinese Cou.t, that it is only a (lUrtsti m i f time when the Western nations will have to acknowledge the supremacy of their Eastern rivais. The mandarin said the Chinese army would then be in a position to show the woild that it could bear comparison with the beet-drilled forcos in Europe.
