The British North Borneo Government, according to the proclamation recently Issued, intends to protect its big game from the depredations of sportsmen with an iron--or should we say silver?-hand. The elephant and rhinoceros have been made most expensive "bags," while wild cattle, deer and even pigs have not been | forgotten.

than that done by the natives, and, as a White Seal Capsule... 14.40 1.20 matter of fact, it is acarcely worth mention- ing. The question is-How does the Go- vernment mean to prevent the killing of large game by natives? It is absurd to suppose that the natives of North Borneo will be induced to look upon wild cattle, deer and pigs as the private property of

vernment is certainly not strong enough to enforce such an objectionable regulation orto punishthase who break it. Then, too, deer, pigs and cattle do an immense amount of damage to the crops and gardens, while a healthy rhinosceros or elephant Is more to be feared in the vicinity of a banana plantation than a jungle fire. We much doubt if the natives wilf esteem it a privilege to pay for the right of protecting their crops. Natives, It is true, kill few elephants, but the rest of the large game they do hunt, and it will be well nigh Impossible to put a stop to their doing so. So far as we can see the only effect which the proclamation is likely to have is the stopping of the visits of the few persons who visit Borneo in search of sport. Sportsmen certainly bring money into the country, but at the same time one must always bear in mind that the British North Borneo FROM the local agents, Memis F. Blackhead Company wants money to go into its own pocket first, while any little left over may then find its way into the country if it can. This, we think, accounts for the new pro- clamation, which, with the exception of that portion providing for the protection of elephants, It is difficult to take serious- ly.

some time past the people of the dust bouts have been suspected of tipping their cargoes into the harbour inside of the proper limits.

The officer boarded the versel, found the hatches all open, a false key having been used for the purpose. Thers are supposed to be only two keys for the hatches, one here and the offer at Chiu Wan Bay, The enterprising Celestial in charge of the boat, however, had a triplicate key and the officer speedily gained possession of it.
