Tulagi, Oct. 1.

The Advisory Council meets, on No vember 1 and I have heard that the following matters are likely to be brought up by the hon. official mem bers; — 1. Asiatic labor. 2. Natives to be made responsible for debts in view of the fact that they are now granted trading licenses. 3. More power for the Agricultural Committee, with regard to expenditure of funds and the appointment of an experienced entomologist. 4. Legislation to be placed before the Advisory Council before being incor porated in an ordinance.

It is hoped that this meeting will show better results than the last the resolutions of which seems to have been merely pigeon-holed.
