As a result of the heavy losses sustained by Lloyd's and the marine insurance companies during the past few years the total for 1910 being estimated at narly sosen millions sterling -an agreement has been arrived at to increase the premium on tremp steuners by 10 per cent This is a minimum only, and it is stipulated that a further advance will be imposed on all floors or vessels whore the resulta have been unmtisfactory.
Shipowners, romarks a London paper, are naturally concerned with the proposal to use the Panama Caual for the purpose of subsidising American shipping. Senator Flint's bill is said to contemplate giving each a rebate of dues to American coast wise vessels as will make them practically toll free. On the other hand, such vessels are to be at the call of the Government in the event of emergency. This supposed con- sideration for special treatment is so thin as to be almost transparent.

THE PLAGUE EPIDEMIC.
ITS HISTORY.
Dr. Arthur Stanley, the Health Officer of Shaugiui, in his report for the month of January gays
Fewer plague infected rats have been found
and no heman cases have been reported.
An arrangement is being made with the director of the recently constituted Chinese Public Isolation Hospital whereby their Chinese foreign-trained physicians will undertake the examinativi, isolation, and treatment of any Chinese suspected of Plague, that is to say, mea. sares relating to the person will be attended te by the Chinese themselves. This arrangemout ji in keeping with the practice in dealing with Plague adopted in Hongkong and India in rola Hon withalien committing where house-to-house inspection and isolation in foreign hospitals was fouud ugoless for preventivo purposes.
The one great omission in local plague pro- voutire measures has been the almost unanimous disinclination on the part of house property own ers, after due notice had been given, to carry out #anitary requirements having for their object tho exclusion of Fats from native dwellings by laying solid or rat proof ground floors, removing ceilings below the Arst foor and doing away with lath and plaster partitions and other hollow spaces providing places for rats. The objection that the better class Chinese will not live in houses without ceilings is met by Ronggong experience, where no dimenity arose. Again it is phjected What ceilings and lath and pluster partitions are permitted in foreign houses. Were foreigners us liable to Plague as natives, the removal of LDWWDW W ceilings and lath and plaster partitions would he called for, especially as lath and plaster work is LLLWL Loften the result of faulty design.
