"They listened writes H. E. to the Court of Dircetors, "very attentively and respectfully. often asking questions, and, when I showed how their livelihood would be lost to them if they did not take passes, a ray of light was borne into their minds and they began to understand that the old days were passing away.
The Governor was pleased with Tawao which he considers a valuable possession which will grow with administration.“ A Government launch is to be placed at the disposal of the Resident of Lahat Dato and the District * Officer Tawno, respectively, which will at once overcome the difficulties of transport at present so much felt by the Government officials and servants in the district. H.E. visited Mr. | Petersen's tobacco estate, with which he was
very pleased The report to the Court of Directors concludes with certain recommenda- tions that H.E. has suggested with regard to the planting ont of cocoauuts at Tawao and one or two important desiderata that the Settlement is in want of.
THE NAVAL YARD AT HONGKONG.
On the 25th nlt in the House of Commons Mr. Gibson Bowles asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty had given attention to the growing needs of Hong. kong as the beadquarters of the British Fleet and the entrepôt for trade in the Chinese seas, 24 1 375 34 17.04 and whether they had taken these considerations 16 3 213 ki 16.34 into account in selecting the site for the dock 13 2 169 52 14.08 on the island of Hongkong, now in course of 13 2 173 39 13.3

11.88 10 1 105 35 1 representations either from the naval authorities on the station, from the colonial authorities, or the commercial community at Hongkong, or from their own engineers, showing that a mistake had been made in the selection of that site whether there was available another site on the mainland instead of the island of Hongkong, which would allow of the expan. sion of the works and be in other respects preferable to the present site; how much of the total estimated expenditure of £1,275,500 had already been expended; and would the Ad. miralty. before proceeding further with this | dock, reconsider the whole matter, and mean- time suspend the further prosecution of the works now in progress.

Mr. Protyman: The reply to the first two paragraphs is in the affirmative. Representa- tions have been received from the colonial authorities suggesting the removal of the 62 9 997 9:32 55 dockyard to the mainland. These have been fully considered by the naval advisors of the Admiralty, and it has boon decided to retain the present site, the area of which has been much extended by the acquisition of the adjoin- ing War Office reclamation. In reply to the third paragraph, the sum is about £150,0 0, The reply to the last paragraph is in the negative.

the general appearance of the new Darvel Bay Co.'s estates. H. E. was much struck with the prolificuess of the sea on this const which literally teems with fish, a source of revenue out of which the Government makes nothing at present, and intends to issue a new Pro- clamation des ing with the registration of fishing and fishing boats, H. E. next visited Semporna, where he interviewed most of the Bajau Panglimas and many of their followers, addressing them in homely language on the subject of their present indifferent attitude towards the Government and de manding of them for the future the fulfilment of their promises so often broken in the past. H E. told them that every boat with a number would be regarded as the boat of a friend and every one without a number as that of an enemy: that in future they could carry on their trade just us of old, but that for every branch of their trade, either by way of jungle or sea produce, each man must pay a fee of 25 cents per mensem and take out a pass: that henceforth до one in Borneo.

Mr. Gibson Bowlos asked whether the re- presentations from the colonial anthorities were to the effect that the site was the right one.
Mr Pretyman: No Sir; they were not.
Mr. Lee May I ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider the advis. ability of inviting the hon. member for King's Lynu to proceed to Hongkong on the earliest opportunity? (Laughter.)
Mr. Gibson Bowles: May I ask whether, in that event, His Majesty's Government will pay some attention to the report, and will not ask for it to be rewritten. (Laughter and Oppositiou cheers.)
The Saigon Opinion says that the Buddhists of Burma are publishing a proclamation in these terms:-Buddhists. Take precautions. Do your duty as free men. The missions of the Christians are increasing more and more. The only advantage they have is money, which has incalculable resources. Look at the Mission Society in India. See how it exponds money every day. In Europe, the number of believers in the Christian faith are diminishing day by day. The learned men of Europe have declared that science is in discord with dogma. That is why the misionaries have come to make ravages in our land. We must defend ourselves!
