Inspector J. Kerr, of the Hongkong Folice and his wife, arrived in the Colony on Saturday from Australia by the German steamer Print Waldemar. The popular Inspector, who has been on leave for the post nine months, was warmly welcomed back by his many friends, and by none more enthusiastically than the Police cricketers, who pressed him into the eleven who defeated the B.G.A. in the league match on Saturday.

Its most important proposals have been nega. tived. The cry of the unemployed heard throughout the land cannot sound pleasant in the ears of Cabinet ministers, and the raucous voice of the Suffragettes everywhere piercing the air must give them moments of disquietude, not to speak of the mournful tolling which indicates ministerial defeats at bye-elections.
