Sandakan, 8th May, 1889. Admiral Sir Nowell Salmon arrived here in H.M.S. Alacrity on the 28th ulto, and left the following day for Labuan en route for Batavia. On landing the Admiral was received with the usual salute and guard of honour."

The O. S. S. Co's steamer Rance arrived from. Kudat on the 28th ulto, and reports that some 160 runaway Chinese and Javanese coolies were embarked by her at Gaya for Kudat. These men had absconded principally from the estate of the Tondon Borneo Company, Limited, of which Count Gelloes d'Elsive is the local manager. The planters in Kudat complain that the Government of North Bornen do but little to assist them, but it must not be lost sight of that there may be faults on the side of planters, some some of whom have no experience of Chinese.

The public are loud in their complaints. against the Government, who entirely fail to do their duty in the way of making roads and drains and neglect all proper sanitary arrange ments. It is considered that whilst the latest innovations in increasing taxation are adopted a few improvements in sanitary arrangements and such like expenditure might well be indulged in, It is thought that the Revenue is being saved to pension some more saruly Pangerans

And after the Chinese had twice during the night pulled down the wall the f.'s had begun to build, our Consul just took to his bed, or as ali events his bedroom, with a sick headache whenever the subject was mentioned.

rain continues raining, the river rising, and the thermometer is very low, not rising to 6o de- vegress even in the bruse. Now is the season for orchids to come down from Szechuan, and a junk laden with baskets full of Dendrobium Nobile, all in full butterfly blossom, was a fine sight the other day, They were being taken down river to be sold as medicine.

at the matter, we none of us know what to say It is true we have started a little bospital here, and free schools, and a dispensary, and the place was poverty-stricken in the extreme when we came to it, and is now doing tidily! We circulate a good deal of money in it between us, and all the carpenters and bricklayers and masons in the place aeem to be employed by the European community. But I am not sure that our presence does not pain them for all that. They always use "rough words to us, when we walk out, and sometimes we are stoned. And there are several parts we never think of going into for fear of what may happen to us. And one of the missionaries was sadly beaten about the head in his own house only the other day, and Miss

pass on What I wanted to tell you about was how the British Minister arrived on his biennial tour of inspection.

A "Durbar "is to be held on the Queen's birth-ua. But that also is a painful subject. So let us day, but that auspicious occasion falling daring the Ramadab, the Maboeredan fasting month, it is considered that but few chiefs" will pre- sent themselves. Elaborate arrangements are to be made in the shape of fireworks and for the supply of "lemonade" regardless of expense. It is to be hoped we shall not have a new tax im posed to pay for this affair, and it is a wonder how such a time could have been fixed upon.

After, considerable delay $5,000 tribute or cession money was forwarded by the China Borneo Co.'s steamer Normanhurst to Sulu, all in Borneo cent pieces, which will no doubt be a source of amusement to His Highness and his

court to count out!

Captain R. D. Burton,late commandant of the British North Borneo Police, has been nominated Police Magistrate at Sandakan, an appointment which has given general satisfaction.

A Camp of exercise is to be held shortly on Abai plain. Our noble army of Sikh sgrical turists, scare-crows, etc., will no doubt make a Fine show and thoroughly frighten and over awe the baked natives in the neighbourhood.

We are also to have a gunboat, and what with an army and navy, Sarawak, Great Britain, Padas Damit, and such like small deer had better # look out."

For cool and unstudied humbug commend me to the prospectus of "the Darvel Bay Trading Company," in which I find that "Captain A. H. Rothbart (the manager) has for a pumber of years resided near the property and is familiar with the country and the people etc., etc."

The fact of the matter is this, that this Captain Rothbart was in command of a barque called the F. H. Drew (lately lost) and in that capacity loaded three or four cargoes of timber for Chinese and other charterers. He has never lived nearer to the property than Sandakan (hen on board his barque) zo hours steam from Siam or Darvel Bay) which he visited.but once in his life and for a few days only. He has neither any knowledge of the natives of Borneo nor can he speak their language.

MIIKE COAL MINES.

Serious trouble, says the Hyogo News, is reported to have again occurred at the Milke coal mines among the prisoners employed there -in fact, almost a repetition of the emruts that took place a few years ago, when the desperate convicts 'fired the mine, and numbers of them perished miserably. A vernacular' paper, the Chiugal Dempo, gives particulars of the latest outbreak, and makes possible an. Inference that excessive severity bad something to do with it- at least, the paper states that the prisoners com. plained of the long hours they were compelled to work in the rolne, and also accused the prison officials of positive cruelty. Early fast March about 200 convicts were transferred from the Tokyo and Miyagi gaole to Miike, where a large number of men sentenced to penal servitude are employed under contract made by the Government with the Mitsui Buaran Kaisha in working the coal mines leased to that Com pany. There are over 1,500 prisoners at the mincs, and disputes, ending in serious affrey,

occurred between the new arrivals, and the older

He came in grand style in a gunboat, and with quite a retinue with him. But if he had been the servant of the people, paid to look after their interests, he could not have gone mo e carefully into all the subjects that were perplexing un. At his request the Consul at once communicated with the Magistrate about the 3.'s' wall and a Tipao was sent to look at it, and to examine their title deeds, and he at once said they were quite in their rights, only if they chose there was a little corner they were leaving out they might enclose. But Mr. Jaid he did not care to do so, because it was a convenience to the poor women, being- near a pool when they wanted to wash their clothes. So then the Tipao made the people a speech; and told them how generous and con- siderato Mr. J. was, and rebuked them most severely for their previous disorderly behaviour, and told them that they should all be sent to prison if anything of the kind occurred again.

The Ichang Convention makes definitely no progress, although the Chinese deputies remain place, and always wondering why the British Minister could not settle the Upper Yangtze regulations at Peking; whether he does or does not approve of those they have submitted as the Szechuan. Viceroy's ultimatum; and if not, whether he is taking any steps to get them altered at head quarters, as they, poor, deputies, are powerless to alter one iota, and are simply eating their heads off here, waiting for the Consul's answer. whilst he waits for the Minister's.---N.

Then it turned out that the poor landlord was released from prison the very day His Excellency arrived, and a handsome present made him as compensation. So there was no need to say anything about that. And since then ibere has been nothing but a continuous exchange of civilities, such a hurrying backwards and for wards of sedan chairs, all the executioners of the place out in their hideous red conical hats, and the soldiers and title-bearers all about all day long. His Excellency, without any one pointing it out to him, noticed our want of a bund, and said how easily we could combine together to make it. The Chinese authorities were quite, pleased at the suggestion, and the Prefect even sent two handsome trees to be planted at the beginning of it as a memorial of His Excellency's visit. We had quite a gala day on the occasion of turning the first sod, as it were, and after that His Excellents went away to make another port happy by a minute personal inspection of its needs. No one is more pleased than our poor dear Consul himself, who is like a different man now, and who is already full of His Excellency's next visit, saying we must do this, or that, or the British Minister will be disappointed on his return. But I have forgotten the best thing. None of us has beard an uncivil word, since the British Minister arrived in state in an English gunboat, nor has
