GrasON) reported that the sheds Nos. and 5 Saano oo's Villa in which fout and month disease was reported to exist had now been cleansed and disinfected: all the animals had the disease and had now recovered.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBBR 11TMz 1908.
Hon. Mr. Hawr--I think the regulations adopted by British Colombia appear to meet the case. They make spitting punishable by fins | orimprisonment; that is, people found spitting in the side walkaor public buildings. I think it is possible to introduce similar legislation here. It should be moderately szerçived at first, and in time the majority of Chinese here would cease from spitting in sidewalks or in public build inge. I strongly recommend the Government to consider the sïvidiability of legislation based on the regulations of British Colambis. I think It will have a very good effect in time.
Mr. LAU CHU Tax-Elucitional matters are much preferable to legislation among the lower class of Chinono, Unless you want to make it ico unpleasant and drive this class of people out of the Colony, it would be advisable
to take other measures.
Tho PRESIDENT—It appears to me that if #pittoons were provided and notices were put up the objection would b`ydone away with. Business men coming bare wish to bava as few regulations is possible to which the Chinese object. It was said that a man could not sell things ou the street; that of course referred to hawkere I the same way it would be said Tot must not

Mr. HOOPEL-I notice from the papers that Singapore had drew up a set of laws on the Draft bye-laws were submitted by the bubject of spitting in the streets, and is enfora

TORTO, Oct. 25th, HALL COLUMBIA DZ The Great Floof has gone, and the philosopher, maglanly transformed in the past week into a sort of cheering idiot, may eattle down and ruminale on himself and mankindle general. Even as an onlocker, practically unconcerned in the affair, he felt carried away as the cheer- ful-looking sailors maruded past and the en- thusiastic Japanese relieved their overcharged feelings with thunderous dansats. There are critics who will still say it all means nothing, who cannot conceive the Japanese entertaining a genuine feeling of friendship for any foreign
people. The reflection does not do credit jo the critic's head or heart, but it is usela a die-
