Another reason endorsed the remake of Dr. Clark when he they gave wi That the sewer outfails,aid that he opposed the application on the discharging as they do into the barbour, and ground of principle That was the very reason In view of the repid sliting up of the forewhy he (Mr. May) opposed it, The Board shore and the absence of any current through the harbour and out to 'ses (il the ebb and fland being through the Lyemoon Pars) would in the course of time caure a dangerous nuisance along the sea shore and seriously defile the waters of the harbour," In this they were arguing on incorrect premises, and he had only to refer to the last leiter in the report, from an officer presumably well acquainted with the flow of the tides in Hengkong, to prove his statement Captain Hastings sald, "Referring to the question of introducing water clousts into the colony, the only remark I bave to offer in that the suggested analogy between this part and Malta and Bombay does not exist, they being clase harbours. Here we have a constant stream cast and wast with the ebb and flood thus causing a steady scour, as shown by the fact that Kellet Bank has not silted from the earliest surveys," The third reason only referred to the Chinese population, so had no bearing of the question before the Beard. The fourth and mori important season was the following, “That even for the European portion of the town the Introduction of water closets, even if otherwise desirable, is out of the quesis in view of the landequacy of the water supply for general public requirements. I water closets came into general uss an addhional abundant supply of water over and above any now contemplated would be required for flushing purposes." Times had changed since 1894, when this report was willten. The following addition had been made to the storage of water in the colony:ros millions at Tytam, to be farther supplemented by 17 millions at Wongnelchong at the end of this year or in all 119 million gallons. In addition to this by the catch-waters lending to there reservoles water from 500 additional acres was dally collected. In the absence of plans of the proposed trough closets and Information of the number of persons who would use them, be could not say with any accuracy what the consumption of water would be per diem, but he thought it would be outside the mark if he put it at 1,200 gallons. This multipled by 365 days in the year gave an annual consumption of 438,000 gallons, or about one-third per cent, the Locreared storage supply, Was auch trilling consumption worth consider ing? It amounted to an annual expenditure of water less than one-sixth of the dally can sumpilon in the colony.

The Vice-President, referring to the remark of the Director of Public Works that this report was simply the apiston of two ladividuals,
agreed, acting on the recommendation of this report, to allow water closets in a certain class of premises. Since they came to that decision they bad application after application for water-closets in various balidiors in the colony, and II they gave way now and made en exception they weakened their hands.
The President said he was at one time la favour of granting the request on the ground firstly of cleanliness and secondly because Europeans would be living in these quarters, but having head the remarks made by the Medical Officer of Headh and that the trough closets would enter late the sewer which received the drains from many Chinese houses he felt ka could not support the application.

A LAST: WARNING.
A special Imperial edict of the ath tnafaat blames the high anthorities of the provinces.for cat being strict and stem enough in their orders to the local authorities under them, with regard to the protection given to missionaries and their converts, which is theirs by right of treaty and concerning which the Emperor has repeatedly traded decrees, one after the 'ather. All officials, high and low, have therefore falled in their duty to the Throne, and the Emperor now for the last time issues the present decree warning all con- cemed to act mora vigorously and energetically; for his Majesty is determined that there shall be forth, If there do occur in the fature through no more riots against calsslonaries from bence- lack of due measures of protection, the della- queat local officials will be severely punished in accordance with the stern laws passed by the Taungli Yamba which received the Imperial approbation,
bavs lready the high provincial authorities such as Tartar Generals, Viceroys. and Governors, etc., will surely be dealt with according to the mexe are of their setposalblifty and in accordance
