Aliens in Natal. The Natal Assembly has read a second time the bill terminating all Asiatic licenses on a certain day, after compensating the licensees. Closer Settlement at the Cape. In the Cape Assembly last week Mr. dagger introduced a motion favouring a scheme of closer settlement similar to those of Australia. Mr. Merriman, the Premier, replied sympathetically. Australian Restrictions on Cape Fodder. Dr. Viljoen’s resolution in the Cape Assembly expressing the opinion that the reasons given for the lion of Capo fodder were unsatisfactory, and that if restrictions were necessary in Australia there were similar reasons for restricting the entry of Australian produce at the Cape, was passed without a dissentient voice. Au additional clause, advocating the discontinuance of the differential arrangements between South Africa and Australia was withdrawn.
