T£11,834 Steamboat Co. has to pay for its wharf, one. would imagine that the Governm nt would take
1,958. steps to see that it was maderately getatable, particularly as it is one of the busiest places in the Colony.
"THE STEAMBOAT COMPANY are to be congratulated upon the pretty little building they are erecting as an entrance and office to their new wharf. We rather fancy, however, that if a vessel bumps the wharf heavily, as often occurs in typhoon weather, the building, not being of wood or iron, will be badly shaken. We shall watch this erection with interest dur ing the next blow.
MIGHT WE SUGGEST, and we do it in fear and trembling at our audacity, that Inspector Riley of Tsira Sha Tsui should instruct his young men to keep a better look out for dead bodies. There are, we believe, two pinnaces and

it is with sincora regret we report the death of Alt. Robert Cooke, late Acting Chief. Manager of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co.) For long time the deceased gentleman had been suffering from a severe internal complaint and recently took a vacation to Australia. On his re- turn he looked the picture of health, but since has gradually declined and died at the Peak the day before yesterday. The funeral took place on Sunday, passing the Monument about 5.30 p.m. Four of the Directors of the Company whom he had so long and faithfully served, viz., The Hon. J.J. Bell Irving, The Hon.C. P. Chater C.M.G., and Messrs. H. P. White and D. E. Brown also the new Chief Manger, Mr. W. B. Dixon, wore in attendance. On arriving at the cemetary the coffin was borne to the grave by six of the employe's, from the Docks as the last mark of respect they could pay to their honoured chief. The Rev. J. G. Williams conducted the burial (service and in his prayer enlogised the deceased and left a lasting impression on the minds of the hearers. A marked feature was the attendance of Chi nese, the number of wreaths sent by them showing the universal respect in which the late gentleman was held.

THE REPORT AND RETURNS of the decennial census of the Colony appeared in Saturday's issue of the Gazette. It shows that the number of persons in Victoria enumerated by the police was 6,325 non-Chinese and 19,668 Chinese.

The Portuguese numbered 1.948 as compared with 2,263 in 1897 and 2,489 in 1891, and the rest of the European and American population had increased by 591 since 1897 and by 1,394 since 1891, The British resident civil population was returned at 2,708, or an increase of 495 since 1897, and 1560 since 1891. The Americans had increased from 93 in 1891 to 198, the Gerinans from 208 to 337, the Freach from 89 to 103, and the Spanish from 81. to 126. Of the British population of 3,007 (inclu sive of those on board the shipping in the harbour) 1,777 claimed to be English, 655 were Scotch and 251 Irish. 2,033 were born in the British Isles, $74 in the Colony, 140 in Austra lia, and 74 in India.
