THE NEGRI SEMBILAN

This is a group of seven states--Johol, Tambin, Sri Menanti, Jempol, Rembau, Sungei Ujong and Jelebu, the two latter having been confederated with the original group of five in 1895. They occupy together some 3,000 square miles of the interior of the peninsula, bounded on the north and east by Pahang, on the west by Malacca, and on the south by Johore. The five states originally known as the Negri Sembilan were brought under British protection by Sir Frederick Weld in 1883 and by an agreement with the respective chiefs, signed on the 13th July, 1889, they were con- federated as one Residency. They are governed by the native chiefs or penghulus, assisted by the British Resident and Magistrates under him. The chief industry is tin mining, in which a good number of Chinese and some few Europeans are engaged. The revenue in 1894 was $137,000 and the expenditure $144,000. The entire popula tion of the five States in 1891 was 41,617, of whom about 6,000 are Chinese
