SELANGOR
The protected native state of Selangor, containing a total area of about 3,000 square miles, lies on the western coast of the Malay Peninsula, and is bounded by the protected native states of Perak on the north, and Sungie Ujong on the south, extending inland to the mountains in the centre of the peninsula, which divide it from Pahang and Jelebu.
The Government consists of the Sultan, advised by the British Resident, who is directly responsible to the Governor of the Straits Settlements, and assisted by the State ouncil. The State is divided into the following six Districts:-1. Kwala Lumpur, the central district where the Residency and principal Government Offices are situated, and which also contains the richest tin mines that have yet been developed. 2.--Klang, the principal port, situated about 14 miles from the mouth of the Klang River. 3-Kuala Langat, an agricultural district, in which the Sultan resides. 4.--Kwala Selangor, containing the most important fisheries in the State. 5.-Vlu Langat, an inland mining district on the borders of Sungie Ujong. 6.-Ulu Selangor, a district adjoining Perak, containing much valuable mining land, as yet comparatively undeveloped.
Each District is under the charge of a European District Officer, from whom the Native Penghulus (in charge of the mukims into which each District is subdivided) receive instructions. The law and procedure administered in the Courts are practically the same as those in the Colony of the Straits Settlements. The decisions of the Magistrates are subject to revision by the Resident, and again by the Sultan in Council. The Police Force consists of a superintendent, two European inspectors, and 629 native non-commissioned officers and men, chiefly Malay.
The population of Selangor in 1884, when the first census was taken, was 46,568 According to the census taken in April, 1891 the total population of the State amounted to 81,592 persons, of whom 50,844 are Chinese, 23,750 Malays, 3,592 Indians, 1,224 Sarkeis (aboriginal tribes), 357 Europeans and Eurasians, and the remainder Japanese, Arabs, Singhalese, Bataks, &c.
The principal industry of the State, and from which it derives the largest portion of its revenue, is alluvial tin mining, on which a duty is charged of $12 per bhara (three picals). The export in 1890 amounted to 170,193 piculs.
In addition to its mineral resources, the State, however, possesses large tracts of land well adapted for agricultural purposes, and the recent removal of restrictions on
