GOVERNOR'S SPEECH IN COUNCIL.

TRIBUTE TO POLICE.

His Excellency, the Governor, at yesterday's meeting of the Legis- lative Council, on behalf of him- self and the Government; express- ed their most intense horror at the disgraceful nets which were com mitted and the tragedies which occurred during the anti-Japanese riots.

H. E. the Governor said: Before proceeding with the busi- neas of the day I wish to make re- ference to the deplorable events which occurrod towards the end of last week and, on behalf of myself and the Government, to express our most intense horror at the disgrace- fal acts which werg committed, And

the tragedies which occurred.

I should like, ales, to tender to the Japanese residents in this Colony the deepest sympathy, not only of myself and my officers, but also of this Counell, on the treatment which they received and the hardships which they experienced,

Colony's Name Besmirched,

The events of Inst week have thin besmirched the 1 of Colony, and it behoves all those who live in it to help to clear that name. There is some satisfaction perhaps in knowing that the more responsible Chinese citizens most atrongly reprobate what has hap pener, and that the nets committed were in the main by less respon- sible people, and that probably evil influences were behind them.

I wish to pay tribute to the the work done by the Police in course of those riots. They had a dificult task, for the disturbances
