CONSULAR REPORT ON BRUNEL, | black in colour, but of a dirty grey. If original
MR. ARTHUR KEYSER,)
All that remains of the once vast territories of the Kingdom of Brunei are about 15,000- square miles with a population of some 54,000 people of various origin. The most important rivers and districts dependent upon thein have been at different times ceded to the Govern ments of British North Borneo and Sarawak. The Sultan Hassin Jalul Alam Akamadim 'is an independent sovereign with despotic power, though certain great chiefs act as Ministers and are accorded a voice in the Government of the country. The climate is similar to that of Sarawak, and is healthy under certain condi- tions. The chief town of Brunei is built over the water in one of the upper reaches of the Brunei Rivër. Here the Sultan and all the high officials reside. From once being a city of importance, this has now degenerated into a vast collection of hovels inhabited by some 10,000 people, who do little or no work and subsist on the prawns and small fish found in the mud beneath their houses. At low tide the place is offensively unsanitary. Nothing whatever is done to improve the con- dition of the down or its inhabitants. Except on rare State occasions neither the Sultan nor his chief Ministers have been putside of their own dwellings for years. The people are incurably lary and live chiefly on what they can extort from their neighbours and the inland tribes, who, to some extent, cultivate the soul. Brunel has a good harbour and the river is navigable for vessels of light draft up to and beyond the chief town.
The soil on the banks of the river is well adapted
for the planting of cocoanuts, judging fro the appearance of those few dots of caltivation which serve to accentuate the vast stretches of land which are seen to have been untouched and neglected. The interior possesses fertile land in abundance, suitable for growing all those products now cultivated in the neighbouring countries. The prosperity of Brunei is a legend of the past, and its recur rence now remains but a possibility of the future. It therefore serves no good purpose to give any full detalls descriptive of its present period of decay.
The approximate revenue collected is, 50 far as can be ascertained, $10,746, say £1,074. The collection of the taxes is farmed out to Chinese tradersand,ativemoney-lenders. The principal income of the Sultan and his chiefs is derived
from the payments made by the Governments of British North Borneo and Sarawak for lands at various times ceded them.
Trade--The ss Raner of Messrs. Holt's blue funnel line, which visits Brunei once a month, has recently, with others, been transferred to a German firm. This steamer
impons cloth, rice, kerosene oil, hardware, &c., bringing from 20 to 50 tons a trip, The exports chiefly consist of sago, although during the last three years Die trade in that article has greatly decreased, Formerly 200 bags were shipped each time of call, but now the average is from 600 10 700 bags. The reason given for this decrease is that since Limbang has passed to the Sarawak Government the sago from that river which used to be exported via Brunei is now sent to Kuching in the Rajah's steamers,
The owners of the s.s. Konce have an arrange- ment with the Sultan that other ships calling at Brunei for trade must pay to them the port dues, which are $88 each trip. The company who owned the stoamer paid a sum of money dowa for 70 trips. They also keep up all the beacons in the river and the mooring posts at the wharf
Oil and Coal-The country is supposed to be rich in oil and the representatives of a company who have obtained a concession from the Sultan are now prospecting there. By a concession formerly granted to M. Cowie, ma naging director of the British North Borneo Company, hut since transferred to Rajah Brooke, the Sultan granted a monopoly to work coal in his dominions. The only mines worked are at Muara, which exports some 14,000 tons annually. There is no other coal exported from Brunei, though there is reason to believe that it exists in superior quality in other parts of the country. Other valuable minerals are said to be found in Brunei, but there is not sufficient evidence to warrant their obtaining mention here.
SOME SPECULATION AS TO THE COLOUR OF THE FIRST MAN.

In the first of a series of articles upon anthro- pological data which Prof. Arthur Thompson is writing for Knowledge he discusses the original colour of mankind and weighs some evidence bearing upon, the question whether the earliest races were black or white.

Manila Versus Hongkong.
.........
HDRSON'S OPINION,
WASHINGTON, August 14th, Naval Constructor Richmond Pearson Hob- son has made a report upon the work of repair ing the Spanish ships raised from Manila Harbour and now at Hongkong. He urges the necessity of a large dockyard in the Orient, discusses the increasing shipping at Manila and the prospect that Mania will, succeed Hongkong as the emporium of the East, but says that Chinese labour must be employed in all branches of industry.
He says the three Spanish ships when com pleted will be worth to the Government about $510,000, and he contemplates trying to raise three more now at the bottom of Manila Bay, The cost of refitting the three now at long kong will be about $300,000.
The vessels raised were the Isha de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, and Don un de Austria

Manila Hemp Rising,
LONDON, August 12th, Manila hemp rose ten shillings in London this morning being quoted at £39 ros. Large quantities were bought at this price on the prospect of a further rise, in consequence of the resumption of hostilities and the belief that all the Philippine ports are closed or will be
closed,
While the price in London is only 439 105, owing to large stocks and the quantities now in transit, the price at Manita is £ty, the high-

All Volunteers to be Called..
WASHINGTON, August 14th,
it is adested at the War Department to-day that consideration is being given to the orga nization of additional regiments of volunteers for service in the Phippines. The evidences are unmistakable that the full 35,000 authorized by Congress will ultimately be called into service, as Secretary Root's policy contemplates avigorous and relentless warfare against Aguinaldo and his rebelbands.
Preparations have been in progress for seine. time past for organizing the new regiments, and plans have been matured which will per- mit of the early equipment of as many re- ginents as the President may decide to order. The first open step toward calling for more volunteers was in the request telegraphed last night to the various Governors to furnish lists. of volunteer officers who served in the Spanish war, which will be considered with view to their appointment for the Philippine service. Preparations are now under way for the ship: ment of troops to Manila. They will go by the way of San Francisco,
Mutiny Delays a Transport.
SAN FRANCISco, August 14th.. The transport Centennial reports that the Warren, bringing the Colorado regintent, will probably not arrive until August 18th, She was delayed by encountering a typhoon, which did her some damage and forced her to return to Manila.
There was also a mutiny among the crew, aud twenty-four of the Warnin's men were tried and sentenced to terms of imprisonment of from three months to two years. The Warren then sailed for San Francisco with a crew of green Filipinos.
The mutiny was brought about by one of the men declaring that he was sick and refusing to work. He was placed in irons. Every man in the crew then quit work, and declared they would not resume until their comrade was released and sent to the hospital.
McKinley Won't Meet Dewey.
HOTEL CHAMPLAIN, Aug, 14th, A committee consisting of John 5. Wise, George W. Brush, Ilugh Bonner, Charles W. W. Dayton and Henry Clews will arrive here to-morrow morning to invite President Mc Kinley and Vice-President Hobart to attend the reception to Admiral George' Dewey in
New York.
President McKinley will decline the invita tion, on the ground of the pressure of public business.
His real reason will be the conviction that bis presence at the ceremonies would be likely, by a division of public honours, to detract from the glory which rightfully belongs to the victorious Admiral
At the same time he mentions Alfred Russell Wallace's idea that primitive man was a Mon- gol. This would infer that our original colour It was not until to-day that the President was yellow, and when we consider the civiliza- determined upon his course. Every possible tion of remote times which existed among the inducement has been held out to him to attend.

Some of his best and inost demonstrated, this view does not seem so very intimate friends have tried to persuade him. unlikely. Prof. Thompson characterizes the theory as suggestive, but goes into none of these outside details, confining himself to a study of skin, hair and their pigments.
Sarby, he says, isolated three pigments, using hair as the most convenient subject for experiment. In light-coloured hair a brown red and yellow pigment occurs, to which in black hair a black coloring matter is added, and ir is a remarkable fact that there may be in a negro's "wool" as much red pigment as in the European variety sometimes alluded to as ....... carrots."

But his own judgment, his own sense of jus tice and propriety, his natural inclination to "give Dewey all the credit that's coming to him" weighed more heavily in the balance than all he pleadings, arguments and inducements. So it was that he finally concluded to remain quietly in Washington during the hubbub and turmoil of the Dewey reception.
The original plan of the Dewey Committee, as outlined in the invitation to the President, was for the Chief Executive, accompanied by Vice-President Hobart and the Cabinet, to meet Admiral Dewey at Quarantine. The iden was that there the President should extend to the Admiral the thanks and greetings of grateful public. For a time the President look.
