Straits Chinese and School Influences,,

AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION. A correspondent asks: why no steps are taken to check the practice, now in full play, of harbouring the refuse of Java, in the form of deported Chinese, in these Settlements. He says it is a commod thing for steamers flying the British flag, trading between this place and the Dutch possessions, to bring such deportees here. It is known to the masters of the vessels, It was resolved that Mr. Anthonisz be and to the part authorities, what they are, yet appointed to the Lighting Committee and Mr. nothing is done to put a stop to the objection-Riccard to the Hackney Carriage and Jinriki. able practice. These men are supplied with sha Committee. passage tickets, and, on arrival here, they are taken to the Dutch Consulate, and there the matter ends, so far as the Dutch are concerned. It is intended, no doubt, that the deportecs should be sent to China. Why, then, should they be durapod down here, to be afterwards sent to China at the cost of the Straits Govern ment? Our correspondent further remarks deal with, and it is not unreasonable to expect that we have enough vagrants of our own to the Dutch, to dispose of their own,

He sug. gests that one way of meeting the difficulty would be by refusing to allow deported pes sons to land, and thus throw the burden of disposing of them on the shipping companies. It l possible that many of these men may have gone to Jam from: Singapore, but the Dutch authorities receive them at their own risk. As coolles their labour helps towards the prosperity of Java. It does not follow that, when broken down by overwork and sickness, they should be returned to Singapore-Straits Times.

An Extradition Case.: On September 13th an extradition order was made against a Spaniard named Francisco Termory Pastor by Mr. Brackman, on the application of Mr. Joaquim, appearing for the American Consul Notice was given that application would be made for a writ of habeas corpus, and in the Supreme Court, at Singapore, on Sept. 28th, Mr. Farrer Baynes applied for a rule nisi calling upon Mr. Brockman, the Superintendent of Prisons, and the American Consul to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be issued. Pastor, it was stated, was arrested on a charge of criminai breach of trust, but Mr, Farrer-Baynes sub mitted that it was merely a question of accounts, and was really a civil matter. The offence was alleged to have taken place at Negros, an island in the Philippines, and the requisition for Pastor's extradition should have been made by the military Governor of the Philippines; and not by a subordinate official On the merits of the crise, apart from the technicalities, he contended there was no evid ence of embezzlement whatever. He had received a letter from the Attorney-General stating that Pastor would not be extradited until the decision of the Court was obtained.

The Chief Justice said sufficient ground had been made out, and he granted the rule nisi returnable for Monday next
