Tho importation of ChinMo labor into Routh Africa was decided upon in principal some time ago, but no doflnlto plans have yet been found regarding tho number to be im ported not the conditions to govern the Importation. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and the big firms of the Rand are in Agree ment that no othor solution of tho labor difficulty is possible At preient half the stamp at tho mine are idle becauso only 60,000 Kaffirs are procurable, when 160,000 men aro required. As a consequence, tho conditions at Johan nesburg aro daily growing worso and business is slack. White laboro a flocked thore at the close of the war, but they wero nnablo to find satisfactory employment, and discontent is rife. This suits the Rand magnates, who are loth lo accept tho role responsibili ty for introducing yellow labor, nnd hop that tho prevailing paralysis of trado will toon load to a popular de mand for tho importation of even tho "hated ChiutM," so that tho mines may bo net working at their full capac ity, with a consequent revival of busi ness depending thereon. Up lo the present, however, the trading popula tion of Bouth Africa Is bitterly opposed to tho Importation of Chi new. PALMA WILL AID TRUATIP.S.
