The general conclusions of the Com- mission are summed up inahe following eight paragraphs-
1.--Paeumonic plague is highly con- tagious. It is, however, rare, (less than 3 per cent. of all cases) and plays a very small part in the general spread of the disease.
--Bulionic plague in man is entirely dependent on the diseass in the rat.
The infection is conveyed from
From the 1st of January to date there have beon 1969 cases of plague in Hong kong and 914 deaths, $87 of which were Chinese.

There are some in Hongkong to-day, who went to the same school as Alfred Iliff and who learned the lessons from his father. Many years of his life were spent as a sea-faring man, as an engineer in a merchant ship. How did he live, this stainless youth? Only the other day, I was listening in an office in this Colony to some stories of his youth. His comrades knew that he was a religious youth and they tried to draw him but he would have none of it.
