Ant. Chiness Legisia,ion IL Veto
ria.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12th.-A
Victoria dispatch says that Parlia-
ment has passed the Chinese tax
bill. The discussion was acrimo-
.ious. Both sides admit the ne
cessity of tax, but differ as to the
mode of collecting it and the
amount. The Government pro-
posed $50 per month, but being
strongly opposed, have reduced the
rate to $40. The Colonist, an
anti.Chinese paper, declares that
the bill will make the province a
laughing stock throughout Christ
endom, because of It's absurd pro-
vision and charges that it was
drawn up ty heavy employers of
Chinese labor to insure its disal-
lOwance at Ottawa. The Coionist
attacks the Government for insin-
cerity and bad faith.
