SMALL-POX AND VACCINATION, - Dr. Woodman presented a report on small-pox and vaccination, in the course. of which he said: The total number of small-pox cases last year was 712, which exceeds the total for 1912-the last epidemic year-by Up to mid-day to-day there have been 308 more. We have at the present time 8. vaccination stations opened, three of which
were started last week. In addition to this we are still carrying on the house-to- house vaccination in No. 9. District. The vaccinating staff employed by this. Board had vaccinated 30,553 cases up to the end of last year, and various public institutions about 28,000 more. Up to Sunday last. our vaccinators had vaccinated about 50,910 since the cara- paign started, and other institutions about 47,000 more, making a total of over 100,000. In addition to these, private practitioners have vaccinated large numbers: I know of a case where over
CLAMMARTENTZ and CNENNIN, as Austrian Premier and Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, respectively, however, seem to have an anti-Prussian tendency. More over, Count Tisza onounced, in a speech nt. Bidapest last month, that Austria- Hungary took the first step in the direc sion of offering peace. It will be remem- bered that the new Emperor, on ascend ing the Throne in November, issued a Proclamation, in which the following pussage occurred:-" I will do all in my power to obtain' peace as soon as the hon- our of arms and the conditions of life in niy countries and their Allies, and the defiance of our enemies, allow." Rightly to appisviate the importance of this de claration it is necessary to remember that, although there is universal suffrage in Austria-Hungary, the dectors are so hopelessly divided by race, language, and religion that they exercise practically no control over national policy. There are, indeed, no fewer than seventeen races re- presented in the Empire's population of 5 millions, and each nationality fights for its own interests and for the privilege of oppressing some other nationality. In these circumstances, the Emperor has to play a large personal part in the Govern- ment. "Ministers," anys Mr. G. WAU PRICE, "are his servants almost to the same extent that prevails in Germany." In his double capacity as Emperor and King be is the link that holds the realm together. With Austrians and Hungar inns alike he is described as personally popular, and if his recent words and attions should indicate his conviction that Austria-Hungary has been the eat's paw of Germany long enough there does not appear to be any likelihood that this popularity will be jeopardised. The Emperor CHARLES Francis is called upon at the carly age of twenty-nine to hold a fretful realm in are" at a time of supreme crisis. For this responsibility he has been carefully trained, especially since the assassination at Barajovo of his uncle, tho Archduke FRANCIS FERDINAND, who was the immediate heir to the throne.

PROPOSED MARKET AT SHAM SHUI PO.
In connection with the proposed mar- ket at Sham Shai Fe, a plan was sub- mitted, to which Mr. Bowley had written the comment" Has site been approved by the Board? An alternative site has been offered free of cost and the Govern- ment should be asked to communicato that offer to the Board."
The President--The question of site is at present before the Government, and The I beg to move that we ask the Govern--
ment to approve of the plan apart from the question of site.
Mr. Melbourne, adjourned ther CISC till Monday, bail being fixed at $150.
ALLEGED THEFT OF TIMBER.. Before Mr. Wood, a Chinese charged with the larceny of 55 pieuls of timber, of the value of 800, from the Old Police Basin at Tsimtsatsui. timber was the property of Lam Woo, contractor. The defendant said. he had received permission from the proprietor's foreman to take the wood.
Inspector Gerrard said that probably what happend was that the foreman told him he could take some wood for firewood and he helped himself to this quantity.
On the defendant promising to pay for the portion of the wood that had not been recovered, Mr. Wood adjourned the mase till to-day.
ALLEGED THEFT FROM SHIP'S CARGO,
Mr. Bowley thought it would be more prudent to let the plan stand over till the site was settled, as the building delineated on the plan might, not be suitable for either of the sites.
The President said he understood the two sites were of the same size. He
thought they should reserve consideration of the question of site till such time as the Government had come to a "de-
vision on the plan.
