Hiitory. — 42 Handbook of the 3. The total increases amongst Europeans, Americans and other nationalities are as follows : Europeans and Americans ... ... 306 Malays and other Natives of the Archipelago 38,176 Chinese 55,894 Tamils and other Natives of India ... 19,875 Eurasians ... ... ... ... 302 Other Nationalities 858 4. The following table gives the figures of comparison with the Census of 1891 : — Race. 1891 1901. Increase per cent. Europeans and A m ericans 366 672 83-60 Malays and other Natives of the Archipelago 103,992 142,168 36-71 Chinese 94,345 150,239 59-24 Tamils and other Natives of India 14,885 34,760 133-52 Eurasians 289 591 104-49 Other Nationalities 377 1,235 227-58 It will be seen from the above figures that all nationalities contribute to the total increase, the greatest increase, among the main races, being shown by the Chinese, and the highest percentage of increase by the Tamils and other Natives of India. The large increase in the Chinese population, who now lead the Malays and other Natives of the Archipelago by 8,071, was almost a foregone conclusion and calls for little comment. It is, in a sense, at once the cause and the result of the general progress of the country and of the development of the great mining industry on which that progress so largely depends. According to local native tradition the district of Bruas, on the coast of Larut, was the place where a Kingdom and Raja were first established in Perak. Temong, a few miles above Kuala Kangsar, on the Perak River, was afterwards the seat of government. Early in the sixteenth century, after the capture of Malacca by the Portuguese, and the flight of Sultan
Federated Malay States. 43 Muhammad to Johor, a Prince of the Royal line of Malacca and Johor established himself in Perak as Sultan, and the members of the Royal Family now living claim to be descended from him. In subsequent years Perak was twice invaded by the Achinese, and rajas and chiefs were carried in captivity to Sumatra. One of these was a Perak Prince who was afterwards Sultan of Achin, and became famous under the name of Sultan Mansur Shah. About the year 1650, the Dutch established, by virtue of a treaty with Achin, a trading station on the Perak River, and acquired a monopoly of the tin trade, which even then was of some importance. In the following year their factory was attacked by the Malays, and the Dutch were cut off to a man. The Dutch trading station, though again established, was abandoned several times, owing to the hostility of the Perak people. The Island of Pangkor, or Dinding, was, about 1670, occupied by the Dutch, but was abandoned in 1690, and their fort, of which the ruins remain to the present day, was blown up in the last century. The last Dutch station in Perak was on the Perak River, at Pengkalan Halban, some miles below the present town of Teluk Anson, but it was deserted in 1783, though resettled some years afterwards. The Dutch were finally ejected by the English, under Lord Camelford and Lieutenant Macalister, in the year 1795. Perak was subdued by the Siamese in 1818, but by a treaty between the East India Company and Siam in 1824, its independence under British protection was secured From that time until 1874 there was little political communication between Perak and the British settlement in the Straits of Malacca. In the latter year, internal disturbances and piracy on the coast of Perak, which injuriously affected the neighbouring settlement of Penang and the coasting trade in the Straits of Malacca, were put an end to by the intervention of Sir Andrew Clarke, r.e., g.c.m.g., then Q-overnor of the Straits Settlements. A British Resident and Assistant were, at the request of the Sultan of Perak, appointed to aid in establishing and maintaining a proper administration, while their powers and other matters were determined by a treaty concluded at Pangkor on the 20th January, 1874. The first British Resident, Mr. J. W. W. Birch, was murdered by the Malays while bathing at Pasir Salak, on the Perak River on the
