Hongkong, 13th November, 1905. CROWN AGENTS ASSAILED ATĮ SINGAPORE,
The Singapore Free Press of Nov. 11, says The most important thing in yesterday's Logis lotive Connoil precvetage was Mr. Anderson's interpellation regarding the relations between the Colonial Government and the Crown Agents, in especial ennection with possible contracts for Harbour works resulting from a considera. tion of the tenders now being called for in London. These questions, and the Colcaial Secretary's replies thereto, are set forth verbatim in the Council proceedings, reported to-day. With regard to the status of local sub-contrac- tors, who may be employed if the Legislatíva Conncil does Bually decide to translate any portion of the estimates into contracts, it may be deemed that the Acting Colonial Secretary's replics to Questions 2 and 3 are sufficiently satisfactory. But although the reply to Ques tion No. 1 (of far greater importance, namely as to the relutions of the Colonial Government with the Crown Agents) appears to be adequate, it is not so clear as we should wish it to be. We find that Meters Coode, Son and Matthews,
