(where tlie Sultan resides), and JTlu Langat and diitrict. This latter lies 
more inland tlian any other part of tbe State. 
A good bridle road is now (1884) almost completed from Beriinang 
to Ulu Bfirnam, connecting Smigei Ujong with Perak by means of a 
main road through the whole length of Sel^ugor from South to Korth. 
Popnlation. — ^The population is scanty : no enumeration has yet been 
taken^ but it is supposed not to exceed 50,000, ol whom more than 30,000 
are Chinese. The native inhabitants are believed to be the descendants 
of a colony of Bugis, from Goa, in the Celebes^ who settled here and 
at Kwdla Linggi under their Chief, Aron Passahai, towards the com- 
mencement of the last century. The population about ten years ago 
had fallen away to a minimum, in consequence of the incessant quarrels 
and misrule of its princes. It has been much increased of late vt-ars, 
both by Chinese settlers and miners, and by the immigration of ^alaya 
from less prosperous States in its ueighbourhoodj including not a few front 
Sumatra. 
Profhidsr^^^^n^OT produces tin of excellent quality, and the deposits 
at Ulu Langat and Kwala Lumpor have proved extremely rich, the latter's 
output (under the name of Klang tin) having attracted much attention for 
the last twenty years. For some years past, it has stood second only to 
that of LArut. Besides tin, there is little else but jungle produce^ though 
important plantations of coffee, pepper, sugar, &c., have been commenced*. 
Tin exports, 1883, reached nearly ^,000,000. The revenue for 188^ 
amounted to P50,644. 
Gm-emmmt incessant quarrel, chiefly as to the rights over the 
tin duties levied in Klaug and SrhmLTor, prevailed from 18G7 to 1878. At 
the time when Governor Sir Andrew Clarke was settling the affairs of 
the Native States in 1874, he undertook to assist the Government of 
Sclangor, The Government Df this State has since been carried on under 
the same system as Perak, 
It has been stated that a railway is in contemplation from Kwala 
Lumpor to Kkog, and it is certain that roads will shortly connect Scl^n- 
gor with Perak, as it is already connected with Snugei TjoTig and Mulaecn. 
It may confidently be hoped that a country with such mineral resourrea, 
and such fine hills aiul plains, drained by abundant rivers like the Bcrnam, 
Klang, Sehmgor, and Lau gat, will, under a peaceful rule, become populous 
and wealthy. 
STOGEI UJONG. 
The smallest of the three Protected States is that of Sungei ITjong, 
to the South of S^lan^or, which lies inland, between that State, Jelebu 
and Rgmbau, to the North-West of Malaeeu. It was one of the four 
original States out of whieh grew the " Negri Scmbitan/'
