The prohibition is not intended to delay the mail service of the Empire, and with that view the Governor is empowered to grant rxemptions to specified mail steamera; nor it will extend to to the discharge of coal when such discharge is exclusively conducted by Asiatics,

Power is given to the Governor to grant exemptions in particular cases under special circumstances, and he may authorise the Resident Councillors of Penang and Malacca in cases of urgent necessity to act for him in granting such exemptions.

My lord-We, the undersigned residents of the consular district of Klukiang, beg to bring to your lordship's pace the fact that virulent anti- foreign and anti-Christian pamphlets and placards are being circulated In Cafes.

They are of the most exciting character and are intended to stir up the minds of the ignorant and superstitious multitudes and all who are evilly disposed to commit deeds of outrage on the persons and property of foreigners. They plainly call upon the people to rise up and murder foreigners and destroy their property.
