Serious allegations respecting the administration of Fiji have been ma de by Mr. Humphrey Berkeley, a brother of Sir Henry Spencer Berkeley, formerly Chief Justice of Fiji. Mr. Berkeley, accompanied by Mr. G. Fox, recently arrived in
London from Fiji on a mission of endeavor to obtain redress of the
social and political grievances of the Fijians, and to persuade Mr.

inquire into the administration of Fiji. (February 4, 1903).
