THE DIAMOND JUBILEE MEMORIAL,
The following letter has been forwarded to the Her, J. H. ¡Stewart Lockhart, Colocis Secretary:-
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1897.
SINGAPORE LEADING AS USUALI | BRITISH INTERESTS IN CHINA.
From Slagapore files geelved to-day we learn that at a meeting of the Slogapore Legis lative Council, held on the 18th instant, the Hongkong, March, 1897.
Colonial Secretary moved the following Sre-In response to the Invitation of the Com-resolution: Whereas the Marketpalliles milttee appolated by His Excellency the Gor- ernor to make arrangements for celebrating the completion of the Goth year of the reign of Her Majesty the Queer,1 Bex to suggest, for the casideration of the Committee, that the most
appropriate permanent memorial in this Coleny would be a Hospital for Women, with a Trata- Ing lostliate for Norses In connection therewith. There is perhaps nothing in which progress has been more marked during the Queen's reign than in the care and treatment, and especially the persing, of the sick. In recent years hospitals, both general and special, have been maltipiled in the Mother Counity, and in her Colonies, and attention has been more and more directed to the provision of trained nurses for the regalzerrents of all classes of the com-
mantly, it may safely be said that to Her Majesty's dominions there are low, if any, eltlés or towns of 300,000 which do not number among their charliable institutions a Hopital for Women and a Training Institute for Nockes.
It must be admitted ibat we have not in this Colony kept pace with the progress of the times in these respects. No special provision is made for the treatment of the diseases of women and children. There is no system in operation for the examination and granting of certificates of competency to midwives. The case is nearly as bad with regard to the question of competent nursing for the sick. With the linsited Alai? available it is difficult for a well-to-do European to make sure of obtaining the services of a trained and efficient name. It is practically impos sible for a pace person, and especially for a poor- -Chiemse person, to do so. Yet a little reflection will show that there must be a large number of women in this Colony who would be benefited, either directly or indirectly, by the establishment of Hospital for Women. It is still more evident that an institution for the training and providing of skilled nurses would, in a very material degree, promote the welfare and alleviate the sufferings of all classes of the community,
Having regard to the character of the Queen and to her great and never falling sympathy for- the wants and sorrows of har subjects, I subli that no memorial of her record reign could be more appropriate in a personal sense or more pleasing to Her Majesty than that which I have ventured to. Indicate, and there are excellent precedents on which to rest this opinion. In 1887 I was by the Queen's express wish that the greater portion of the offerings made by her women sabjects in celebration of her jtbilee of that year was devoted to the foundation and endowment of the Queen Victoria Institute for nurses-an Instilution'specially intended for the providing of trained nurses for the poorer classes. In India, I believe I am right in saying, during the same year and by way of commemorating the same jablles, the Marchioness of Dufferin established the tafferin Fund for the purpose of fainishing competent medical aid to the women of that country, la thepresent year the principal, and it may also be said the national, mode at celebrating the Diamond Jubilee is the establish- ment, under the suspices of the Prince of Wales, of a fand for the better and more permanent endowment of the London Hospitals.
At present it does not appear to be necessary to do more than indicate the general outline of the scheme which I am submitting for the con- sideration of the Committee. These ouillnes are as follow:-
(1) The Hospital and the Institute to be conilgnone to one another; to be erected at some convenient site on the higher ground of the City; and to be under European "manage-
meat.
(2.) The Hospital to contain beds; to be con- fined to surgical and non-infectious medical cases; to have a lying-lo ward ; and to admit a limited number of children. Europeads and the wealthier Chinese would gladly pay, I am sure, any suitable charges fixed.
(3) The Institute to have accommodation, including board and lodging for resident nurses, to provide teaching and training, where neces saty, for them, also for non-resident women ander special circumstances, to supply nurses for PET ing patients at a reasonable tariff of charges and gratuitously for the poor, and to be under the supervision of an experienced mairon...
(4) The nurses to be of different mallonalities. Chinese women are gentle and patient and do, in experience, with adequate tralalag, maki, excellent nurses.
(5.) A system of training midwives to be worked in connection with the Taalkute, when competent candidates should receive certificates, which should be recognised by law.
One of the Incidental advantages of carrying out these proposals would probably be that suitable occupation would be found for a certain number of young Eurasians, ofthe clever and bright women who at present and it difficult or impossible to make an independent livelihood and whose los tually a very sad one. Farther, it may be hoped that nurses trained at the Ipsillete will gradually go into the nearer provinces of the mainland, and help to spread amongst the Chlacre one of the distinctive blessings of Western civilisation,
In conclusion, I think it may fairly be urged that the pride and thankfulness with which we all regard the lie and work of our gracions Sovereign and her marvellous relga cannot find amare fiting or more beneficent outcome than the inauguration of a scheme which will help materially to Increase the comfort and health and consequently the happiness of her loyal people in this colony. It may not be ent of place for a woman to add that it seems suitable that a woman's reign should be commemorated by something associated with women's work.
The short time allowed has made it impossible 10 prepare and send this letter to be read and signed by the ladies of the Colody, but I enclose a rezume of the above scheme-which I havA endeavoured to clicolate, and also a list of those who were willing to give their names and support

Settlements of Singapore, Penang and Malacca : It is hereby resolved that a sum not exceeding $10,000 be set spart from the general revenue of the Colony for the above purpose. and that this expenditure be provided for in the Final Supply B for 1897," Thé boa, member said that preparations were already far advanced in Singapore, and, he tellerad, in Penang and Malacca, for the celebration of this unique event, and he had every reason to believe that ibe celebration would be one worthy of the Colony and of the event. The motion was the seconded and carried unanimously.
The foregoing facts make it clear that, as al, the Siraits Settlements are far shead of Hongkong. We have, as yet, only reached the Ides singe, and even suggestions for i a suitable method of celebration appear to be slow to making their appearance. Could sat a leaf be taken from Singapore's book and aangements be pushed ahead a little quicker? If not, we shall be obliged to postpone our celebration (lit next year or spread it over a considerable period, like the Praya Reclamation scheme.

Mr. Norman, although-as he avows himself to be-pessimistic, seems to have must the roughly grasped the whole subject. If the experience gained by him duilog his tear in the Far East three or four years ago, and given to the public In his book, had been availed of by Great Britain would still be the predominating our stateamer, there can be little doubt that Power in China.
And, what steps do the Board of Trade pro- pose to take with a view of securing to British shipping the right to compete on equal terms with foreign shipping in the ports of the United Klogdom ?
MR. RITCHI-I have seen the allegations to which my hon, friend refers. Every effort is made by the Board of Trade to recurééqual treatment under the law for British and foreign | ships in the matter of loading at ports in the United Kingdom. In 1806 forty foreign ships were detained in our posts for overloading, as against eleven Beltius, and for bringing in deck lords In contravention of the law seven foreign ships were proceeded aealast as compared with only one. British, I will caure every case which is brought under my notice to be carefully com- sidered, but I am advised that the present law is not inadequate so far as overloading of foreign
hips leaving our ports is concerned.
The following further question was put to the President of the Board of Trade, who replied characteristically as follows:—

SUMMARY JURISDICTION (Before His Honour Mr. Justice Sercomde Smith. March 30th..
CHAN HUNG 9. YAU-LEE: STEAM LAUNCH CO. This was a claim for $559.05 for wages sod disbursements. Mr. Bowley appeared for plaintif and Mr. Hastings for defendant.
The evidence was to the effect that plaintif took a steam launch to Saigon to sell it, and when there he was arrested for a breach of the law in changing the vessel's name. The vessi as also relied. Plaintiff was fined $165.3 for changing the veral's mume and firing the French flag. He released the vessel by giving a promissory note for $550 lo a lawyer, and from an agent of the defendants he received $300, with which he paid the vessel's expenses, crew's of wazee, and also settled for the provisions of the crew and their passages dick to Hongkong. The plaintiff received a farther som from the agent, Ty Kee, and with that he paid the fine Imposed by the Supreme Court and gave cum- shaw to the Harbour Master and another official.
The plaintiff in his evidence alleged further, that he was to have a bonus share of $800 ta the vessel and that he was to gut $3coil he brought her to Saigon in a month; for each day over that time he was to be entitled to $to until arrival. Until such time as he could find a

The plaintiffs' petition said that the claims in respect of the loss of the Casso, the loss of life, and personal injury, and of the goods, merchan. dise, and personal effects or other things on board her at the time of the collision would, exceed the aggregate amount of £15 per ton on the gross regis'èred tonanga of the Newchwang. The sum of £8 per ton was £6,750.169 and £7 perton in respect of claim for lots of life re personal injury amounted to 5.906.19s. The plaintiffs therefore prayed fara declaration that the amount for which the plain tifs are liable in respect of loss of life or per sonal Injury either alone or together with loss or damage to ship's boats, merchandise, and per- sonal effects or other things is T. 83,229 3 in Shanghai sycee silver and no mare, and that the amount for which the plaintiffs are liable in respect of loss or damage to ship's boats, mer chandise, and personal affects or other things is £6,750.161. and no more.
The defendants in their answer asked that the amount which the plaintiffs might he ordered to pay into Court should be paid in sterling or at the rate of exchange on the day when the money was paid Into Court, and that Interest should be paid on such am from the date of the collision until payment at the rate of 7 per cent per annum.
There was a good deal of argument between Mr. Drummond and Mr. Platt and then the Judge said that all cisims would have to be filed before the 30th of April. He would reserve judgment, and he thought be must allow 7 par- ceni, interest..
