It has been understood for some time that the Sultan was willing to sell Johore to the British Government for a certain rumour alleging that he wished £35,000 a year and a reversion on capital which would go to his family after his death. So strong have these rumours been that practically everybody in the southern Settlement be lieved them to be founded on fact, and the continued absence of the Sultan and his sons in England has given colour to these reports. If the Strails Government should become the superiors of Johore Singapore would benefit immensely. Instead of being a mere port, it would have an immense country behind it from which to draw supplies, whereby it would attain the rank of a producing port, the base of an im mense area of fertile country.

The population is remarkable in containing a larger proportion of Chinese than natives, viz., Chinese, 150,000, Malays, 35,000, Javanese, 15,000. It will be a wonderful boon which may entirely change the outlook in Singapore if Johore is acquired by the British Government, and that would seem to be the interpretation of Sir John Anderson's hurried departure for England.

Mr. Lou's farniness, with four coolies in the ring, created some merriment among the native classes; the "kings" of the three borizontal bars, Messrs. E. C. Milton and Low wers among the best features of the evening's en- tertainment, while Miss Annie Watson, doing a twenty feet leap on u bicycle weighing 175 lbs., created great applause.
