The Navy returns are less reliable, as the number of sick ashore here fluctuates according to the movements of the Fleet. but even that does not account for the December, 1887, to 131 between November increase from 86 cases between June and

Our paternal Government will not allow a poor, hawker to earn, bis living by retailing his small stock of fruit and cakes, and yet it insists on freeing fifteen hundred public women from the leaves every soldier and sailor liable to constitutional ruin. The women only object to examination when they are afraid of being refused certificates. Those who know they are free from disease_still go up for examination-except the Europeans which is the strongest possible proof that the purist's cry of "degradation" is specious
and Idiotic. Not one man-not even one missionary here-would, we believe, oppose the re-enforcement of the CD. Act. His Excellency the Governor has made no secret of his inclination in its favor, the unofficial members of the Council have formally petitioned against its repeal, and the medical men of the Colony have organised a professional protest. We understand that official reports on the subject have been prepared, and that representations will before long be made to the home Government.
And In conclusion we would ask what the oracles of Downing-street and the tub- thumpers at Dorcas meetings know of the matter-at any rate as regards Hongkong? This Colony wants a Self-preservation Ordinance, for the sake of the health and well-being of thousands of its Inhabitants, and if it can't get it so much the greater shame on the Imperial authorities. We do not mind their saying whether we may build a water-tank here or there, or put our trust and spare dollars in a Praya extension scheme, but we do object to having our "Malta and Gibraltar of the East" turned into a "Port Said" of loathsome disease.

Cross-examined by first defendant-I will not swear that you signed the articles in the presence of the mate. I told you that I would stop two days pay for each day you refused duty. I had seen you before you came on board but I never spoke to you, I gave the mate orders after arrival at Hongkong that you and some six cabers (who were "Shanghaied") should go into the forecastle and cease work and you did so. You remained there soveral days doing nothing and without being asked to work. It was after you had been to the Consul that you were first asked to work. It was a command,, not a request a command given in the usual way. You and the second defendant were not the only ones of the crew who refused work, there were four others. There was one who never signed the articles. He is on board still. You were shipped on the articles to Hongkong. When you signed the articles you told me that you were not a scaman.

The first was that he offered for the various Races. I think that is a proposition that will not be upheld either by the Stewards or the members of the Club. The the Grand Stand. I think that, to insure a successful Race-meeting, it is absolutely neces being decreased, should wherever possible sary that the value of the prizes, instead of be increased, and it is absolutely necessary for the comfort of our guests at the Races that before this time next year we should have a new Grand Stand. As far as I can see there is nothing in the way to prevent It-the accounts are in a most satisfactory state, con sidering the disadvantages we have and to labour under during the summer. This is the second experience of the sort within the last five years; we paid, I think, about $4.000 the last time the Course was flooded in the same way, and now I see the bill amounts to the large sum of over $1,000 for the same thing. I have no hesitation in saying that the whole fault of both these inendations lies with the Government, or rather with the Surveyor-General. It was his place in the first instance, when he was building the Aqueduct three or four years ago, to take the proper steps to prevent stones and sand from being washed on to the Course. It was equally his duty, having that experience, to take preventive measures before this last occa- sion-to see that it did not occur again, and I cannot coincide with the opinion formed by the Chairman, that the Government will not take any notice of this. I think we have a very fair and equitable claim to be repaid a share of the expenses we have been pat to. (Applause).
The Chairman-I said so.

The aimes caught the rest, and five were very dangerously burnt, several others being scorched. One of the five died a few hours later at the Hospital, and the other four are in a critical con- dition. The Fire Brigade Station being so near assistance was promptly rendered, but everything was so dry that nothing could save the shop. No. 153, a curio shop, was also partially destroyed, and some houses at the back were also damaged. The cake-shop is insured through Messrs. Pustau's agency for $t cod.

SERIOUS INSURRECTION AT CHIENGMAI.
A correspondent at Chiengmai writes as fol lows under date 21st September-We had quite an exciting time here this week. On Sunday last (15th Sept.) I understand that a crowd of Chinamen, most of them either tax-collectors or connected with the liquor farm, went to the British Vice-Consulate and applied for pmtection, stating that the Laos in some of the villages out- side the town, on the east bank, had risen in protest against the tax on betel and siri. This was the fat we heard of the insurrection. Next day the principal Burmese British subjects
ing the disturbance and the Prince stated that went to consult Mr. Archer about it. Mr. Archer then made enquiries of Prince Sonapandit regard there was an insurrection, which he hoped to put downquietly, but that force would be used if neces sary. On Tuesday Prince Sonapandit asked Mr. Archer to come and see him and told him that the Siamese soldiers (about 150) and 2,000 of the chief of Chiengimai's own men were to go out and attack the insurgents the next day, or the day after that at the latest. In the afternoon Mr. Archer came over to see us, and told us how matters stood. Mr. Archer invited the ladies of the Mission to take refuge in the Vice-Consulate In case of a row, but they concluded to stay on in their own houses, while thanking him for the invitation, Mr. Smith, of the Borneo Co thought his place might be untenable in case the
hope of getting anything. I trust the unofficial Mr. Fraser-Smith-And you said there was no members of the Legislative Council who are members of the Jockey Club will do their best to place this matter before the Government thought I don't think it is difficult, because Sir William des Vœux has shown himself always amenable to reason, and he wi'l understand that this Club, which is not rich, has been called upon to pay away more than two-thirds of its entire funds through the neglect of the Public Works Department. The gentleman who compiled this report has certainly studied brevity to an extent which I cannot quite agree with. I think he from a sporting point of view-and there might have, told us something with regard to the result of last year's racing I mean are one or two other things which he right have put in, and which have unfortunately been omitted. I was glad to hear the reference to the state of the Course made by the Chairman, and there is a reference in the report to Major Tripp, who was a very good Secretary and a jolly good fellow. But there is no reference to the labours of Mr. Gore-Booth and Mr. James Sampson, who, since last May, have been working in a way which very few of themembers would have worked, even if we had had the time, making the best coursel have yet seen in China ("Hear, hear. I know something of race-courses, but I do not know any Course in the world which will compare with the Coure we have now-I mean as regards the turf it is simply like this table from end to end, on both tracks. It was considered impossible in the middle of Juse to get the Race-course at all fit for racing by next February, but instead of that we have the best Course Hongkong has ever seen (Hear, bear.") It will be our own fault if we don't keep it in that condition. The work has been well and judiciously done, by men who understand it, and I think we should be very remiss indeed if, at a public meeting like this, we did not express our recognition of services where else.
