A disturbance among the natives near Seganan In Torvel Bay, resulted in prompt action by the. police under Mr. G. Hewelt; consequat upon the opposition shown to the police five natives were killed. A considerable force was sent to Darvel Bay, but their services were not required.
The British North Borneo Company have declared their first dividend of zå per cent, on the paid-up capital.
The complaints of passengers by the steamer Flintshire, an her last trip are loud and many. This is the "Holt's" boat, subsidised by the Government, that took the place of the regular steamer Memmen. Owing to leaks in the ballast tank number of passengers that were going north to shake off fever!! seriously imperilled their healths. The Government should insist on their agreement being properly carried

The "Farms" for this year have been let nominally to a Chinaman named Fung Ming Shang, but actually, I hear, to a syndicate at Hongkong with which Dr. Ho Kai is connected. The price to be paid is said to be as follows:-
For the Opium farm, East coast, $4650 per month; for the right to collect the Imports and Exports duties, East const, $1500 per ineath; for the pawnbroking farra, Sandakan, $120 per month; and for the "Gambling Restriction farm" $3,200 per month:

were much surprised. It remains to be seen how this method of collecting duties will work.-OUT Governor has an idea that because these "farms" are in vogue in Perak they must be a success here, but many people differ with his Excellency, as the circumstances here are quite different to what they are in Perak, for while Perak depends RACING BOOTS, on Chinese mining Indu tries, we depend on European planting enterprise, and have Europeans and not Chinese to consider first
The Gambling Restriction farm" certainly ranks first and foremost both in the deceit of its title and in the bad effects of its results to the moral atmosphere of the place. Now, Exeter Hall, where are you?-I invite you to have a look into this degrading institution, which ought to be called "The Gambling Inducement farm," or the "Farm specially instituted for the demoralisation of the natives."
Where are the Reverend Brymer Belchers and his confederates who stated some time ago at a meeting of the British North Borneo Co. that nothing would pay in B inco" or be blessed" until they had sent out a minister to attend 10 the spiritual welfare of the community? And how will these no doubt well-meaning gentle- men have the conscience to pocket their 2 pr cent dividend, partially gotten from the proceeds of this most vicious institution?
No one need be a Puritan to take objection to this institution, and the sooner it is over hauled and really made restriction "farm" the better for the credit of the Government."
To give an idea how gambling is "restricted" I may state that the "farmer" hires a number of houses, the fronts of which have been renewed, in a street near the market place, and a number of Chinese rattle bags of cash, and shout (no doubt words to entice the passers-by) and gesture, which can be but an invitation to try your luck. Natives are not particular as to where the money wherewith to uy their luck comes from, as was illustrated a few days ago by a horse- keeper who sold his master's pony and gambled away the proceeds.
