have had an opportunity of giving fair considerable care. The details have been very care- stion to it.

No member objecting, the Council, went into committed,

The Acting Colonial Treasurer proposed an amendment to the effect that in form A it should be stated that the penalty was $100 for each tenement in regaid to which false particulars were given. He said the Ordinance laid down that a person was liable for each tenement, but form A did not give that information, and the Chinese were under the impression they could only be fined $100 in all and had committed the offence under that impression, whereas they would not have done so if they had known they were punishable for each tenement.

The amendment was agreed to and the Bill reported.

THE PEACE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE,

The Acting Attorney-General moved the second reading of the Bill entitled "An Ordin ance to repeal Ordinance No. 29 of 1888 and to amend Ordinance No. 15 of 1886, entitled "The Peace Preservation Ordinance, 1886,"

The Bill was read a second time and passed through committee.

fully drawn up by those who have given them selves to the study of measures of this descrip- tion, and hon. members will see that civil servant who draws a comparatively small salary and contributes to this Fund will leave his widow or his children in such a position at all events as will prevent their being left in a state of desti. tution or want, even if he has no other means of providing for them. I have thought it right to make these observations because hon. members and the public may have thought it strange similar measure should have been abandoned before, but as the Secretary of State has urged the necessity of such a measure we can only hope it may really prove a success. The Bill was read a second time.

+ THE SQUATTERS' BILL The Acting Attorney-General, in moving the second reading of this Bill, saidIt has been found necessary to introduce this Ordinance owing to the large number of persons who are at present occupying land without any grant or lease or interest. The preamble states that there are three classes of persons so occupying land. There are those who were in occupation at the time of the establishment of the Colony, those who have taken possession since without any grant, and thirdly, those who have a licenses such as are known as squatter's licences, but without any other grant, or lease, or interest from the Crown. It has become necessary to regulate the position of these people and to give them a better kind of lease, 10 as to enable them to improve their holdings if they so desire. The first ques tion to be settled is whether the people in possession of the land have any title to it. As I remarked before, the first class is that of certain persons who were in occupation, at the time of the establishment of the Colony, or. their descendants, and in order to ascertain these claims this Bill provides a Board to examine them consisting of one, of the judges of the Supreme Court, the Surveyor-General and the Registrar-General for the time being, and one other person to be from time to time appointed by the Governor. The judge, will be Chairman of the Board and this Ordinance gives the Board certain powers necessary to the making of en. quiries as to the claims, such as enforcing the attendance of witnesses, compelling the produc- tion of documents, and punishment of persons guilty of contempt of the Board The Board will have power to determine in what time claims to leases in any district shall be made and to fix the dates and places for hearing such claims, and on the report of the Board cases will b granted by Government. The other sections of the Ordinance deal mostly with formal matters. This Ordinance enacts that the Surveyor-

Upon being approached, Krips drew a revolver and threatened to pistel the Chinese TAN RUSSIA LEATHER BOOTS. official, who prudently returned to the shore for assistance, coming back shortly afterwards with a dozen men or so. In the meantime, Mr. Krips had managed to have himself transferred to a Japanese schooner, lying near by.

Krips, after a despe rate resistance, then jumped overboard, in an alleged attempt to commit suicide; but, waa fished out by the Chinese bontmen, taken to the Consulate and held there until Mr. F.

A few days later Mr. Vincent Mace, a | Newest and most fashionable shapes in FELT, HATS, constable from Chefoo, arrived to, take charge of him and conduct bims to Shanghai. It is understood that only $400 were found upon his person and amongst his effects.

I suppose you would like to know how the ship behaved on the way down here. As soon as we were outside Green Island we got into heavy cross seas,, ship rolling awfully, but. any ship would have done that in such a sea. The glass went down all the time, but I made up my mind to run for it, as the wind and sea afterwards came from aft, and I was anxious to see how she would go. I watched her sharply, and thought I could see that she was all right. At night the sea was tremendously high, and it was blowing very hard indeed. I would have liked to beave her to the wird, but the sea was too dangerous, and I was afraid of washing away skylights in trying to do se, as she was going through the water at an awful rate, but shipped comparatively little water. Next day the wind hauled round, and the high sea was right abeam. We ran like that for several hours, and she behaved better than most ships would have done, but at last the sea and gaie increased, and I was obliged to heave her to. She came up without taking very much water over, and was riding on the sea like a duck Everybody from down below had to come up, and stay up, as nothing could be left open. We had a rather rough time of it, the engineers as well as those of us on deck. No food could be cooked, of course; sardines and biscuits taken on the bridge was all we got. I myself was not off the bridge for two days and a night. I have entire confidence in the vessel, and would take her anywhere; those who say that she has not stability, don't know anything about her. We were three days and 3 hours reaching here. Having twin screws is a great thing when hove to in a gale, as it is easy to keep head to sea.

The chief officer writes :---

THE POLICE BILL. The Acting Attorney-General-I beg to move the second reading of the Bill entitled "an Ordinance to amend The Police Force Consolida tion Ordinance, 1887." The amendments are few and unimportant, but it is, necessary they should be made, because when the Police Force Consolidation Ordinance was passed the office of Deputy Superintendent had been abolished, and instead there was an officer called Adjutant. The office of Deputy Superintendent has now been revived, and it is necessary to provide for that revival. Section 23 gives the "Captain Superintendent power to punish for breaches of discipline and it is proposed to transfer part of that duty to the Deputy Super- intendent. Therefare in that section after the words "Captain Superintendent will be added the words "or the Deputy Superintendent." There is another small amendment in the same section. Hitherto the Captain Superintendent has been in the habit of paying these fines into a fund, and from that fund furnishing to the Police Force certain furniture or extras in the way of food or something of that kind. Doubts have arisen as to whether that was strictly legal, so I propose to insert words to remove that doubt. The Acting Colonial Secretary-In seconding the motion for the second reading of this Bill said, I may mention that when we go into committed on the Bill I shall have to more as additional amendment on a point which has lately arisen In connection with the same Ordinance. Under a certain section if a constable desires to leave General rball, before the bearing of, the claims to tell a nautical man that we had a jolly hard | with regard to the "planting "of the eighty-year- the Force before the completion of his term he relaiing to land in any district or village, fix the time of it, but as to the ship's behaviour through-ald Queen-Dowager which will be done, a là rents to be charged in any leases which may be out.

has to pay the amount of two months' pay for each unexpired year of service. This regulation, which is perfectly just towards men who have been enlisted in Englind and received bonuses, and whose passage out has been paid by this Colony, is perhaps scarcely equitable to the men who have been enlisted here. I shall therefore move an amendment which. will give the Governor power to reduce the amount of penalty in the case of a man who desires to leave before the completion of his five years' service.

His Excellency-I may add to the observa- tions that have just been made by the Colonial Secretary that I think when we go into com- mittee on this Ordinance it may be desirable to Insert such an amendment as he proposes. A case came before us not very long ago in which a member of the Police Force wanted to retire, and 1 found he could not legally do so except by paying a considerable sum of money. If I could have dispensed with that requirement In the case I refer to I should have made use of my discre- tion to allow him to do so, and if an amendment is inserted to the effect stated by the Acting Colonial Secretary I think it may 'do away with the hardship which the present Ordinance

It took several months to get the engine and pumps set up and in working order, and then they commenced pumping out one of the old shafts, out. Work was then begun in camest, and in a very short time Raub presented an appearance that would do credit to a Denver or a Leadville, with pumping, hoisting and crushing machinery in full operation. The result of this work you have doubless already seen in the manager's" recent report, in which he shows that about $19,000 was the result of their first crushing, As this is merely a prospect, and the whole of the work, under by no means favorable circumstances, has been accomplished In a little over a year, I think it reflects very great credit on Mr. Bibby, who in such a short space of time has converted. an almost inaccessible jungle into a prosperous and productive mining concession. This work stands out in striking contrast to that of other Pahang mining companies. A good road has been built from Selangor to Raub and from there to the next working mine Punjom, which virtually brings Raub within five days of Singapore. Prospecting in at present going on in a new shaft at Sungei Argus, another part of the con- cession, with good results, and as there seems to be little doubt but that there is plenty of gold to be got in different parts of the concession from the old holes, Raub bidg fair to become a valuable property. It is, however, unfortunate that shareholders allow themselves to be so easily influenced by information that is not at all reliable. The capital of £1,000,000 I admit, is enormous, at the concession is large one, and as it has every appearance of becoming predictive in many focalities I see no reason why there should not be many "Baby.. Raube" if the Company sell parts of their con- cession, as the Paijom Company have done.

At Punjom they have recently been finding some very good prospects, in fact more has been done within the last few months than in the whole previous history of the mine,
