A CHINESE SCARE
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONN. The Chinese community of Singapore are at present being provoked into a state of agitation over a recent act of legislation which may load to merions consequences, and which the authori ties are taking measures fordel with. It will be remembered that among recommendations made for effecting an improvement of the health of the Colony was one to the affect that in all cases where deaths were murogistered by a certified anodical practitioner a post mortem examination should be held on the body. This proposal was discussed at the time but nothing more was heard of it until now, when a cartain section of the Chinese are up in arms against this system, which they say has bash put into force and is being practised at the present moment. The town is tooded with handbills calling upon the Chinese and the Mohammedans to combine and cooperate in resisting this practice of post-mortem examinations feelings to assist in getting it stopped. appealing to thom through their religious

The problem is a very delicate one for the Government to handle, if us the Chinose agitators allege, the system has been adopted of holding such examination of all bodies in cases where a death certificate has not been granted by a recognised medical man. One prominent Chinese who disclaims ang knowledge of the origin of these handbills, asserts it as fact that most of the deaths that occur among the Asiatic population are nucertified, and that therefore if the regulation is rigidly applied nearly all those wie die in Dingapore would have to
