should be snught in legislation.

3. A Bill was brought in for this purpose in the year 1888, but was abandoned after the Second reading.

เ

A Resolution of the Legislative Council was passed on the 23rd' February, 1893, to the

effect that such a measure should be again

introduced.

In 1894, an Amended Bill was prepared, but for some reason, probably for the want of sufficient support, was not proceeded with.

In 1901, the matter was again considered, only to be abandoned again; the Chamber of Commerce of Singapore not being prepared at that time to recommend legislation.

3. The arguments which were strongly urged in 1888 have lost none of their force, but have rather gained weight through the increasing volume of trade and it has been determined to put before the Council a Bill embodying the provisions of the former one, but with various amendments."

4. The chief alterations are as follows:-

The Bill is intended to come into force throughout the Colony at once instead of tema tively at the different Settlements ona by‘one,

Registration will not be purely voluntary, but voluntary for existing firms, and com- pulsory for firms instituted after the commen. cement of the Ordinance.

5. As in the former Bills the sanction for the Jaw will consist chiefly in certain disabilities which are made consequent on non-regista tion of à firm, and non-registration of a re- gistered firm.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

We hear that both Sir John Jordan and Mr. McLeavy Brown expect to leave Korea about the end of November.

THURSDAY next, 9th inst., being the birthday of His Majesty King Edward VII, will be kept as a public holiday in the Colony.

NOT long ago we had occasion. Lo record the curious past certain students of a local College took up as their contribution to the boycott of all things American. We are no in a position to relate a further-instance-of schoolboy precocity in that connection. In certain school, which for obvious reasons, wo will not at present name, but which is not a hundred miles from the Deutsche Kapel in Bonham Road, as lately as on Wednesday last the Chinese scholars were asked (1) which is the best Government-American of English? (2) American or German?; (3) American 'or. Swiss? The answers came in rotation, vocifer oubly enunciated, (1) English; (1) German; and (3) Swiss The peculiar significance of these answers lies in the fact that the scholars have, so far, not reached Switzerland in their curriculum, and therefore kuow nothing about that country either politically, historically, or geographically!

They will still be able to get China Tinders' policies and all their contracts with that Company will remain in full force. It is true that in Hong- kong, in London, in Shanghai or in Yokohama they may have to come to a different door and

find a different man at the receipt of custom, bus that will be all the difference, and in other places where there are Mercantile Agencies we hope that these will continue to do the business of the two companies in just the same way as al present. We further hope to make such arrangements that it will be quite immaterial to everybody concerned (whether shareholders or constituents of either company), as to which, company The Japan Garells issued supplements on bees, the business.
