(From Our Own Correspondent.) The report of the Sanitary Surveyor for the third quarter of 1901 was laid on the table.

The report stated that plans had been deposited The last twenty-four hours has brought us during the quarter for the drainage of 224 sensation which has set memories on the go houses. Plans for 589 houses were carried for- and tongues wagging with reminiscences of ward from 1980, and 589 from last quarter, May, and June, 1900. As my wire will have making a total of 1,402 in hand during the informed you, no less than four fires occurred quarter. The drainage of 160 houses, was almost simultaneously, and since wiring I have completed, leaving 1,243 to carry forward. Re learned that a fifth may be added to the list. drainage or repairs to drains were carried out The first was at the British quarters at Hsinho, in 44 instances, 206 houses being carried for near Tangku, when the officers quarters. Were ward. This made a total of 150 Houses in hand burnt down, then came a blare at the British for re-drainage or repairs during the quarter.

the magnitude of the fire hat hardly been realized people were horrified to find that Mr. Droste's beautiful house which had just been newly decorated and was very richly furnished, was also ablaze. From general re- port the attempts to suppress the flames were not very well organized, and the men are stated to have acted in a manner suggestive of pay day, while it seems more than probable that the two unfortunate men who perished miser- ably in the flames and who were asleep in the canteen where the fire originated, were un-" usually heavy, or they would have been able to save themselves. The fire is by far the largest that has occurred in Tishisin for many Tientsin might have gone. As it was, deri- years, and had the night been windy half

The number of rats destroyed and paid for during the month of October was, according to
statement by Dr. Clark, 3,822.

The total number of plague cases and deaths in Manila up till the end of November was respectively 480 and 417. There were no plague cases during the week ending on the above date, but three cases, with three deaths, occurred during the preceding week,
The President-As there has been practically. in case of plague in Manils for the fast eleven days I move that the Hoard recommend the Government-in-Council to withdraw the part restriction agajnst Manila.
Lieut. Col. Hughes seconded, and the motion

The mortality statistics for the Colony for the week ended 26th October show a total of 25 deaths per 1,000, against 278 in the pre- vious week and 31 in the corresponding week if last year.
NEW DISEASE IN THE COLONY: The President-In connection with these health statistics, I may mention for the infor- mation of the public the prevalence of an in- fectious disease in the Colony which has been more or less unknown here hitherto; I am re- ferring to dengue.

The two unfortunate Fusiliers, whose names I have not yet been able to ascertain, were buried this afternoon, and the Regiment has moved into the godowns of Messrs. Leddel & Co. A court of inquiry is to be held on Monday, when I hope to learn further partis culars,
