appointed by the Crown, and a nominated Legislative Council. Since 1871 there has been no military garrison, but an armed police force is maintained instead. The population is slightly under 6,000, of whom the bulk are Malays. The Chinese, who number over a thousand, are the chief traders, and most of the industries of the island are in their hands. The European population, under twenty in number, consist mainly of Government officials. The revenue is chiefly derived from the farming out of licenses to sell tobacco, spirits, opium, and fish.
