The Colonial Secretary laid on the table the cort of the D. P. W. for the year 1902, and Chamber of Commerce on the prohibition of Į conespondence respecting the proposal to immigration of coolies from Hongkong, the Straits Tuner says that in Singapore they have httle or no assistance to expect from Hongkong in the matter, The only couras left would seem to be to impose a more strict quarantine on all vessels arriving thence and if Hongkong suffers thereby it is naturally her own fault".

The Colonial Secretary, proceeding; said the rider main system could be equally well. adapted to prevent waste, and it was for that pur- pose it was proposed to introduce the Bill. Asio the Hon. Shewan's suggestion that the Colony should go to the expense of first introducing the stree fourtain system, he said it would cost a great deal of money and then perhaps the experiment would be found to be unsuitable.
The Attorney General hoped the Council would reject the motion, which would have the effect of stifling the discussion, and would im pose upon the Chinese a measure which they believed to be agains: their interests besides opportunity of hearing anything that could be fireventing the Council from even having an said on their behalf.

throwupon an acting Governor, who was not the same thing as a real Governor, the responsibi. lity of an unpopular measure, when it was not perhaps absolutely necessary, was a hard thing, and therefore he recommended the Acting Govenor of that day, not to stave the matter. Mr. Chadwick said to him, "You have had this famine, everybody has suffered from it and everybody has only been on post as it were.
