The plague is apparently making having risen to twenty in the course of the twenty-four hours ending at noon yester day and to nine. In the period ending at noon to-day. The average for January was one and a half cases per day, for February three per day, for March five per day, for April ten per day, and it was during the months of May and June of 1894 that the disease reached its highest point, there being over one hundred cases a day about the 7th June, In that year, so that if we are to draw any Inferences from the experience of the past we have nothing to hope for and everything to fear for the coming months. At the same time it must be borne in mind that this is a very different
season from that experienced in 1894. There was no rain then until the 17th of May. This year we have had almost Incessant rain from the beginning of the year to the present time.

It is a pity that the Government, or the Sanitary Board, does not publish full returns, showing the number of fresh cases daily; the number of deaths; the numbers in the various plague hospitals; the numbers under segregation, if that method of dealing with persons who may possibly be affected is still in force. The public are allowed to know nothing and the result is that public rumour magnifies the evil and all sorts of statements are flying about as to numbers of persons attacked, as to the severity of the disease, and as to
the relative numbers of deaths, Ins

REVISION PROMISED, In August last the London Chamber of Commerce wrote to Singapore calling attention to the high rates prevailing to India and the East and inviting the co-operation of Singapore in obtaining a reduction.
The Singapore Chamber drew up a table showing that the sterling rates are actually higher now than they were in 1876, while the depreciation of silver has lecrossed the cost to the Colony,

AMOY NOTES.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
AMOX, April 2708. Owing to the approaching tes season in North Formors, upwards of a thousand Chinese tea men have already left here for Tamsul. These men proceed under a written application made by respectable foreign or Chinese firms to the Japanese Consul here, who merely stamps them. The Consul has received no defialte orders on the subject, bat up to now the passengers have been allowed to land at their destination. The Consul will dot issue pamposta to traders.
·A low days, ago the Governor of Formona telegraphed here inquiring about the prevalence of plague, and inquiries were made, though I have heard of no cases. However, ramont states that emigration may be stopped by the Japanese on account of these reports.
I think I wrote you to my last that a Japanese'] Consulate had been established here. Me. Nori, formerly Consul at Foochow, and later in Korea; has taken charge. He is making himself vory popular.
