1. That there should be a distinctivo Philippine coin of silver which should be legal tender for 50 cents in the gold money of the United States.
2. That this distinctive silver coin should be known as the peso, should con- tain 25 grams of silver of the fineness of 0.835, and should be divisible into one hundred equal parts, called centavos,

one upon
Dr Thomson's subject was of supply
by street taps--people will not take the trouble to carry more than they really need, and thus it gives a most ethicient check on waste. On the face of it, your argument would seem to be very convincing if not conclusive, but, from a personal in- Testigation I find the stato of things quite different. In Elgin Rond. Kowloon, to carry water for three persons livine on the ground floor it cost 80 cents per month for three tams of water per day (one tam is two ordinary Chineso buckets, of about four gallons). This rate represents about one cent per tam. Here it must be borne in mind that bouse rent is much lower in Kowloon, and the coolies can live cheaper than on this side. Now, admitting that each person requires one tam (8 gallons) of water per day if coolies can be obtained at this side of the harbour, where living generally is so much dearer, to carry for one cent per tuin, and there are on the average ten persons living on cach flat, the sun of per month per flat is at once arrived at. My estimate is there fore approximately correct. Mind you, it is only amongst the very poor class that women and children do any of this water carrying. Further, I would point out that it is not only the coolic class of Chinese who would suffer, as there are many Euro- pean families, besides Portuguese, Indians, the respectable class of Chinese and others who for economy's sake are compelled to live in tenement houses, and these will all have to obtain their supply from public taps, without the option of a motor on the enforcement of the Wator Bill. In that event, the demand for coolies for carriage of water and the price for their labour can well be imagined. You then go on to say
It is proposed that the Rider-main system shall be met by a contribution of $100 per house, on which, as the prophet of the Rider-main cult, with admirable candour, rells us, they cannot expect a return of more than from 25 to 50 cents per month
per dat, 9 to 18 per cent for thuir inoney.' Now in reply to this, my explanation - in accounting for one year shows as follows:-- Contribution $100, intorest $8 per cent, ex- tra upkeep per cent, say 83—making a total outlay of $111; against which, oven supposing that the maximum increased rent of 50 cents to be always collected on these flats, the amount will be not more than $18 a year; leaving a balance of only $7 towards the reduction of capital outlay. I ask you how many years will it take st this rate to recover the $100—the original contribution? The answer is, nearly 11 years and long before that time, left hope. the increased storage capacity for which efforts are now being pushed forward will be practically available. There is no risk whatever allowed for in the above calculation, which must of necessity come against the landowners only. Now, from the above, I think in all fairness it must he admitted, as you say, that the real roward is serving the bost interests of the Colony from a sanitary point of view.'

His Excellency having introduced the speaker of the evening,
Sun-I read with pleasure your remarks in Inst evening's issue concerning the ab. sence of chivalrous feeling or action in the Chinese. You might have put the point more comprehensively by stating that the Chinese character (with exceptions, of course), is devoid of nearly all the higher forms of sentiment-for the traditional and ordinary Chinaman is sadly lacking in all the nobler characteristics of humanity, But my object in adding a word to your thoughtful remarks on this subject is to give a reason why this lack of chivalry shows so strikingly in regard to municipal or communal life. Anyone who has read the history of China, and studied therein the torrible narratives of an oppression which has weighed on the Chinese people for thousands of years even to the present day-an eternally continuous tale of mis- Dr Thomson told, stage by stage, the rule and injustice which has crushed and story of how we have arrived at our present twisted the national character into its pre knowledge of the relation that exists be- sent contorted and stunted form--will tween the insect and malaria, than which, he cease to wonder greatly at the absence of remarked, parenthetically, there is none most of the higher qualities of sentimont more interesting or practically important which good government creates and fosters. among all the fairy-like tales of scientific To dodge official injustice and cruelty hes research. He believes that malaris would been the principal duty of the ordinary entirely and finally disappear if any one of Chinaman for countless generations, and three measures could be efficiently carried for any civilian to interfere in aid of an into effect:-(1) If the blood of all mal- official, or to mix up in any way with the arious persons could be disinfected, say by law so-called, was and is well-known to quinine; (2) if all healthy mosquitoes could be a calamity.

Mr Slade was agreeable to that. the value of property, owing to abnormal demand, has greatly increased. But, the other hand, a little investigation will discover a number of newly-built houses on Yow-ma-ti side, which do not return 4 per cent on the cutlay, and there are also a great number of the same class that cannot find tenants, oven at so low a rental. They are empty. In the houses which are occu-| pied, many tenants pay a sum equivalent to about 10 per cent on their rental for water carriage. In such blocks as these, it is that the Rider main system would prove a great hoon. The Colony has heavy ex- ponditure to face in the near future and should not throw money away for doubtful advantage. The Colony is not asked to `contributo, let alone throw money away ' on this supposed doubtful advantage. The whole cost of installation for the Rider-main system is to be borne by the landowners.
Now let us look at the supply from street taps. It is this custom which 99 per cent of our community most strongly object to. Should the conditions of the present Water Bill be enforced, the Government proposes

The Tide Table given below has been compi by the Nautical Akanao Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an av. tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa. ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during
the years 1887-8-9.
The zero of the table is Low Watar Or- dinary Spring Tides, which has been found to be 2 feet below mean sea love!.
To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 5 ft. ́ 7 in., and on the gango at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 12 ft. in. to the height given in the table.
