If it is neces sary that these independent States should be brought under British rule it would be very much better for all concerned were they ceded to Sarawak. To this the natives themselves would not object and everything would go on smoothly. But if they pass into the hands of the North Borneo Com pany there is bound to be trouble, and the
natives will suffer. It is to be hoped that the High Commissioner for Borneo will look into the matter, for we do not like to see lands grabbed in this manner. The whole system of Chartered Company Government is wrong from beginning to end. It simply amounts to a large territory and its inhabit ants being bled for a few London shareholders who "know nothing about the country and care less. If the Chartered Company made its dividends by engaging in trade, matters would be different, but it makes them out of levying taxes which should, by all the laws of right and political economy, be applied to the benefit of the persons who find the money. The day is fast approaching when the British North Bomeo Company's rule will have to come to an end, as did that of the East India Com pany. The best thing, that could happen for BLEND. North Borneo would be for the British Government to step in and hand the whole territory over to Rajah BROOXE.

THE ATTACK ON COLONEL KEKEWICH'S CAMP.
LONDON, October and. Commandant Kemp commanded the Boer attack on Colonel Kekewich's camp, Com. mandant Delarey accompanying as a specta-
tor.
It appears that the British columns under Colonel Kekewich and Lieutenant Feather- stonhaugh had returned from 'driving the enemy some distance from the camp, when they were separated by two Boer columns which had returned to the attack on the British position.
The enemy on being finally driven off, left six killed on the field. Ten prisoners were taken by the British. The heavy loss of horses prevented pursuit of the enemy.
COLONEL KEKEWICH'S WOUNDS. Lord Kitchener reports Colonel Kekewich as severely wounded, but doing well.

The operator, after hav ing inserted his penny, into the apparatus, blows through a tube with all his might, The force of the blow is registered upon a dial on the front of the machine, while at the same time the valve of a beer barrel is opened. So that the longer the operator can keep blowing the larger the drink he eventually obtains.
Now, Just imagine such a machine being erected outside the Hongkong Hotel, Mr. Editor. Why, all the beachcombers from the Coast Ports' would flock here and work that machine in relays with below it would never pay.

Once a man was in the woods and he threw a little stone at the monkys and they throw back large ripe, sweet cocoa nuts and this teaches us a great moral lesson. We should always
