been handed over to it by the Imperial Government in 1889. The population in 1890 was 5,853, of whom 25 were Europeans and 17 Eurasians, the remainder being chiefly Chinese- and Malays. The Chinese, who number over a thousand, are the chief traders, and most of the industries of the island are in their hands. The European population consists mainly of Government officials. The New Central Borneo Company are lessees of the Coal Mines in the island and are developing a considerable trade in the coal, which is largely supplied to H. M's ships. The export in 1894 was 14,957 tons, valued at $67,304. The revenue is chiefly derived from the farming out of licences to sell tobacco, spirits, opium, and fish. The value of the exports in 1894 was $182,821 and that of the imports $852,880. Mr. L. P. Beaufort, Governor of British North Borneo, is also Governor and Commander-in-chief of Labuan.
