THE TOWN OF BRUNEI.

soon after their discovery, the Portu-
with the natives. and considerably
later the Spaniards opened trade re-
lations; but neither country eXerted
lasting influence. At the beginning of
the seventeenth century the Dutch and
English traders appeared. the latter
emily the Dutch forced the English
out. They ~reappeared some time
a%fterward, in the northern part of the
island. but let their power wane, and
for so years there was no progress.
Early in the last century, an English
man, Sir James Brooke, awakened the
interest of his countrymen in the neg
lected country, and commercial rela-
tons presently were advanced.
That portion of British Borneo
known as Sarawak, lies southwest Of
Brunei. 1t has an area of about SOC 0
about 900, 900. 1t is of considerable i'm
portance commercially; the chief prod
lcts are tobacco. sage, rice, gums, cot
Zee. spices, jungle product and dried
fish. There is an abundance of coal;
and the precious metals, diamonds and
mercury are found. British North
Borneo has an area Of 81 900 square
miles and a population of perhaps 175,-
300. 1t has considerable commercial
Importance. A marine cable connects
Labuan with Singapore, and there is
Geographic communication to the cap
ital city. Brunei is of small extent,
its area but $4,000 square miles. and
population only $4,000.
The principal town is named Brunei
and is situated on a bay of the same
name. The few Englishmen that
touch there, pronounce Brunei most
the water. II is called the Venice of
The east. A sketch in the London
Graphic tells us: Vessels anchor in
its main streets. and the children can
swim almost before they know how
10 walk. It's market is not less sin
gular-a dense pack of canoes, now
dispensing, now swarming like a hive
Of bees, the occupants being nearly all
women. wearing hats as big as UNI
brellas. The busy scene, the incessant
shouts of the crowd. and the marvel
Gus dexterity of the padding are not
likely to be soon forgotten by the
spectator. But there is little in the
way of trade in Brunei. Coal indeed
there is, and in this respect our terri
tories in Borneo may some day prove
4 very useful asset, but otherwise our
new acquisition cannot be said to pro-
duct much, except krisses."

BRUNEI ENGLAND'S
THE ANCIENT KINGDOM OF THE
ISLAND OF BoRNEo.
A Recent Agreement with the Sultan
Makes Provision for British Resi-
dent-Glance at the Territory
Under British Protection.

We have long looked upon the great
Island of Borneo as divided between
the Dutch and English, but just re-
Gently the latter nation had fall to her
confirmation of influence down there
in that tropic land, the sultan of the
kingdom of Brunei, which lies between
British North Borneo and Sarawak,
making an agreement providing for the
appointment of a British resident with
powers to control the general admin
istration of the state.
The Dutch held possession of south
ern Borneo, the British have kept to
the north. Politically the whole island
is divided into British Borneo and
Dutch Borneo,. the two separated by a
mountain barrier. The northernmost
part held by the British North Borneo
company since 1888, has been under
the formal protectorate OF the British
government. Sarawak has for NOM
inal governor a native raiah, but is
under British protection. Brunei up
to now had for a ruler a native sultan,
but, like the others, was considered
subject to Great Britain.
Brunei, or Brunai, gave the island
its name, Borneo, a corruption of the
word. Brunei was a Malay state. and
the Malays were the dominant race,
their rule extending practically over
the island. When Pigafetta, friend Of
Magellan, visited the island, he was
entertained most royalty by the poten-
tate at that time holding sway. This
~potentate had numbers of trained ele-
plants and horses, forts with heavy
ordnance, gold vessels and spoons, silk
embroideries. porcelain dishes, and, in
short. all the adjuncts of a high civ
ilization; a good deal of it, no doubt,
borrowed from the Chinese, whose
money was in sole use"
1t was early in the sixteenth cen
fury Borneo was first discovered by
Europeans, both S~paniards and Portu-
guese visiting it at this period. Very
