Australia and Japan.

A Japanese Consul Gives Advice [per pbess association.— -copyright ] Melbourne, November 16 At an influential gathering to cele brate the arrival of the pioneer steamer of the new Japanese mail line, Mr Marks, Consul for Japan, said that With a view to opening trade with Australia the Japanese Government had heavily subsidised the line, and abolished the duty on wool. In reply to this the Adelaide Government had already introduced a Colored Immigra tion restriction Bill. He hoped the Australian Governments would not pass measures which irritated the Japanese and caused them to become enemies. They were a mighty nation on the weather bow of Australia, forty millions of people and a warlike race. The people of Australia should under s'aEd they were part of the British Hlmpire, which made treaties with foreign nations;- and these treaties must be observed. Australia could exclude whom she liked, but the right to do so must be used with discretion. In days to come a federated Australia with Japan would dominate the Pacific, pnd it was necessary that Australia should ma£e a friend of Japan rather than an enemy. He hpped Australia would get through her troubles with out comjng into cpllision with her neighbors.

The Victorian Harvest.

Melbourne, November 17 The harvest outlook continues gloomy. There is no hope now of any improvement. An early sample of wheat shown is pinched and small, and the quantity of the yield is uncertain, bub it is believed it will not be above four bushels pi r acre. In many cases the early sown crops have failed, but those sown later >-re much improved. At a meeting of the Millers 9 Association it was decided to urge that millers be allowed to import wheat, and to be allowed a draw back on al' flour, etc., exported up to the value of the uuty p:id on the imported wheat.
