SECRET SOCIETIES.
of
Mr. G. T. Hare, the Secretary for Chinest Afairs in Selangor, affirms that, after some twn years' experience in Selangor, he is able to state with confidence that there are not mare thin about from fuur per cent. to five per cent. of the Chinese there who are men- bers of the Trind or dangerous' secret societies. Prior to the. y suppression the dangerous Societies in the Colony, brunches, affiliated to certain of them, were established in the State, but they were conducted secretly and bike up for want of funds when the parent organizations in the Cony were suppressed. There are to-day in no secret societies of any power or Selangor organization of importance. Most of the members
of secret societies that exist are members who joined in China before emigrating. Many of the Hakka Districts in the lui . Chiu Prefecture is the Canton, Province are well known as con thining members of these Triad associations and they often give the locial officials there much trouble. When such members arrive in Selangor they keep up the connection, and, as the Chinese of Selangor are more of one race and feeling then elsewhere in these 'States, it is easy to do this.

EARLY HISTORY,
In 1861 the Territorial University was built at Seattle. In 1863 the first newspaper was published. In 1864 the telegraph came. In 1365 the town was incorporated by act of the Legislature. This incorporation, however, was done away with by the Legislature of 1867, but- in 1869 the town was again incorporated by that law-making body.
In 1880 Seattle had a population of thirty- ve hundred. From that time on its growth was rapid, and it gained perceptibly, ou other parts of the state. Its inhabitants then num bered one in twenty-one those of the entire commonwealth. In 1890 they numbered one. eighth the whole, and at this time (1898-99) fully one seventh the inhabitants of th
