Noumea, Sept. 4.

SINCE the departure of Governor- General Cournarie, no new governor has been definitely appointed to serve here.

M. Cournarie was to have been replaced by Governor Ist-class Louveau. Mr. Louveau, however, knowing what kind of difficulties he would meet with from the Council General here, refused the offer which was made to him by the Minister of Colonies.

Up to now, there are no indica tions that a Governor has been asked to serve in New-Caledonia.

For the interim, M. Bordarier. at present Secretary-General, is acting as Governor. —FD.
