In the colony today live nearly a million persons, mostly Chinese, ruled by a British governor in Victoria, the principal city. White, Indian -and Chinese police under British officers keep order; British and Indian troops are gar- visonied in the barracks, and British 1avy ships and military planes gard the fortified harbor.

This was the schedule under which boats first begun operations The change ‘became effective today. It was, decided last night by F. G.

The crew of the third ferry, the Key West, left last night for Jacksonville to bring the craft to Key West.
