(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Victoria, B.C., July 5,
In this little Canadian seaport, the first bit of the "New World" that adventurous emigrants from the Far East look upon, there are no hungry Chinese. In spite of the fact that recently, of the community of some 15,000 Chinese here, hundreds were in dire need, and scores were starving, to-day there is no such desperate want.

SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION.
An attack of 'stage fright" which overtook two of the Chinese mannequins caused the promoters of] the Sincere Company's dress parade an anxiety yesterday.
The mannequins, exquisitely dressed, paraded on an attractively decorated stage, and special cooling arrangements were installed for the comfort of the audience. "

Although Mr. M. K. Lo's motion for reforms in the local system of refuse removal was termed by Mr. G. R. Sayer, H.S.D., "an absolute libel on our service," it was nevertheless passed by a vote of five to three at yesterday's meeting of the Sanitary Board.
The meeting was characterised by sharp ex- "Aunt Ethel, what makes you put changes between Mr. M. K. Lo, one of the Chinese powder on your face?".

Puts His Motion. Putting his motion to the meat- ing Mr. M. K. Lo said that the ist of the H.S.D.'s reply to ques- Liens put on this same matter at a previous meeting, was that, for the present, he does not propose to make any alterations in the existing arrangements, either as regards the type of the vehicles, or as regards the hours of collec tion. In my submission both are equally unsatisfactory.
"As regards the hours of collec thon: I have received strong com plaints from people who ought to know, that it is absolutely dis graceful to have torries stationed outside or near places like Lane, Crawford's Cake Shop in King's Theatre Building, with refuse" fly- ing all round, in the busiest hours of the day, namely, between one and two p.m. I asked that lorries should not be stationed, outside places in which food is exposed for sale, and the H.S.D. replied that no discrimination is made in this respect," and that it is not proposed to make any.
