Vancouver, Feb. 2.
The Chinese Consul-General at Ottawa, who has arrived at Vancouver on his return to his post from Peking, states that the Im. migration and Trade Treaty which China is negotiating with Canada provides that China. shall not allow labourers to come to Canada, while. the Dominion will remove the $500 poll-tax which the Chinese consider a disgrace.
The trade sections off the Treaty recognize China's need for Canadian wheat and aim at encouraging Canadian merchants in the Orient.—Reuter.
