A ROUGH estimate of the results of the recent Consus shews that the resident Chinese number about 125,000. To this has to be added the Honting population and the foreign community. The totals will be obtainable in about one month more.

EUROFLAN and Chinese detectives now search every Douglas and Artatoon Apcar steamer just before leaving, with a view to making the acquaintance of any pirates that happen to be along. All other lines have to take thefr chances.

The Magistrate received them most politely, and wald that their story was impossible and then at their request sent for the police of the quarter in which the placards were being posted.

But if elected I would do all I can to make the Board the effective instrument for carrying out the sanitation of the Colony-not in the Interests of the landlords and householders, but in the interests of the community, without disturbing existing rights or unduly troubling the landlords, and landowners (Hear boar.) There are many ways of carrying out sanitary legislation, as the rules can be carried out either according to their strict letter or their spirit and it needs to be carefully considered whether circumstances are not such that it would be unfair to enforce the strict letter. I think the Board is endeavoring to give as little trouble in carrying out the Sanitary laws as possible; sometimes they are inconvenient, but so far as I am concerned. you gain elect me, I shall endeavor to see that they are carried out in the same spirit as they have been in the past-effectively, for the general good of the colony, and with as little trouble and expense as possible to every householder in the

ACCORDING to a Northern contemporary the following story is told as to the examination at Wahu of one of the rioters: we do not vouch for its truth, but it is at least very probable. The prisoner was being forced under torture to give the names of the leaders of the Kolao Hul who "All the had organised the riot at Wahs: military officers in the province," he said. Individual names." The prisoner still refused. My life," he said, "Is forfelt in any casa. If give up the names, the Kolmos will kill me and the whole of my family, and wipe my name off the face of the earth. If I remain firm, you will kill me, but the Kolaos will take care of my family, and see that they come to no harm. And he refused to give up the names.
