CENERAL MEETING."
A general meeting of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club was held in the Cricket Club Pa vilion yesterday evening, when the following resolutions were submitted :-
1. That the Club adopt the new Y. R, A. Rating Rules and Building Limitations, after the close of the present season, and abolish the Club restrictions.
1. That the First Class consist of 24 ft. kr. yachts, but the existing boats exceeding 14 ft.. new rating be allowed to sail in the 24 ft. class at their new rating, provided they do not exceed 24 ft. old rating, and have not altered their hull.
That rules shall read-
There shall be no time allowances in Club Races for First Class Yachts, except in the case, of yachts built before the close of the season 1900-1901, whose new rating exceeds 24 ft. Lr.": 4. The Club Rules to be altered accordingly. The Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G., was in the chair. He said in opening the proceedings, that, as they were aware, the rules as to the boats were now built expired at the end of this rating and the limitations under which their

The committee and some of the principal boat owners who attended the meeting thought it would be to the interest of the club to adopt the Y, R. A. rules, because they ought to move with the times, if they had the same rules, and limitations as the Y, R.

Let us consider, in proof of the above state- ment, the spirit of the last proclamation which they have published. In itwe are threatened with the most severe punishment if we disregard the laws of war-which they themselves are the first to trample upon-as if to defend our territory from their iniquitous absorption con-

Ile released and re-apposition; they rate us high despite the usual stored to their home in the forest a number of the pygmics whom a German speculator had kidnapped, and was seeking to convey to Europe for the Paris Exhibition through British territory. Among the curious facts ascertained is the existence in the forest of a new species of zebra with the upper parts of its body a uniform grey, and the legs and lower part stripped on a white ground. It is said to have a long and slender head but the colouring suggests a type intermediate between the zebra and ass, an approximation to which is seen in the stripes which sometimes appear on the legs of the latter animal. The Belgian authorities who presented Sir Harry Johnston with portions of the skin, promised to do their best to procure an entire specimen for transmission to Europe.

We thrive in dust and dirt, From the light of day we shrink, We can never suffer hurt From an odour or a stink. We live in dirty drains,
With the rats and other vermin, Till the healthy tropic rains Drive us from our strongholds squirming. We haunt the pots and pans, We invade the baby's bottle; Grow in dirty water cans, Or a watertap's choked throttle. We breed in fetid slums Where the air is dank and heavy, And our great rajoicing comes i When our toll on life we levy." We fly about in dust
By the wind blown hither, thither; Haunt the drunkard on the bust, Touch him up upon his liver." Find our way into the milk Spreading typhoid through the city; Cling to dainty silken skirt Knowing not remorse or pity. Hide ourselves within the pork, Spreading broadcast grim thrichina; Cling to stopper and to cork Bringing death to many a diner. In the salad, too, we live, In the fish we're often found, Dark diseases we can give To the oyster plump and round.
We're the doctor's loving friend, We're the chemist's fortune maker, By our work we often send Dollars to the undertaker.

FIRES,
-The spirit of that proclamation could not be more coercive. By it, the Filipino who may simply have in his heart and in bls imagination the spirit af patriotism is subject to the severest punishment they have so arbitrarily dictated, as being suspected sedition. - Nó civilised nation could put into effect the measures of that proclamation. We did not in any wa recognise their sovereignty, and they did not acquire sovereignty over our territory by any...... just and legitimate title or means. Their claim to sovereignty over our people is there. fore unfounded and ridiculous and mora uncalled for and ridiculous still the terrible punishments with which they threaten us.
That proclamation tends, to put matters plainly, to lead to the complete extermination. of the Filipino race. Their energetic measures have no other object than that of imprisoning numberless rich and poor, to reduce the latter to misery and to do away with the former by deportation.
Every Filipino who, in the course of his ordinary business, may have to leave the American posts to attend to his plantation or to some mercantile transaction, will be con- sidered, on the pretext of his being outside American territory, as a suspicious chamcter holding intercourse with the Nacionalistas, and from that moment the punishment mentioned in the proclamation will be meted out to bin.
With such coercive measures Philipping commerce and industry will practically die, for the inhabitants, fearing punishment, will remain inactive in their houses and hunger and misery will extend everywhere.
This is the tendency, the principal end of such a proclamation, to annihilate the Filipinos and to make themselves, the Imperialists of the United States, the owners and masters of a country acquired by the evit artifices of the robber.
"
*You, compatriots in arms, if by any inexplic. able weakness you go over to such a cruel enemy, you must know that from henceforth you will not be freed by them, despite any oath of allegiance you make, but will be condemned to a punishment on any accusation that may occur to the minds of the Imperialists. You have examples of this in the persons of contain of our Generals and Officerswho, after present- ing themselves and making the oath of allegiance, were tried for crimes, falsely attributed to them. You must know that, by that proclamation, the boasted and guaranteed liberty of thought and of speech bas been destroyed. Those of our compatriots most distinguished by their position and intellectual attainments are im prisoned without knowing the cause, and only obtain their liberty if they manage to satisfy the gold-thirsty greed of the Imperialists. The free-thinker is chained, because the utterance of a political idea is sufficient warrant for the detectives to arrest him. The Filipino press has become mute with regard to politics, and. its columns are filled with nothing but tales. and love stories. In z word, our position is desperate, for even in our houses the detectives may at any time come upon us under the pre- text of arresting some unknown person suspect. ed to be a revolutionary.
