HAVING been ordered to investigate the accusations againsi "Marshal" Su Yean-chun. the degraded Provincial Commander of Kwangsi, by an Imperial instruction, the Board of Punishment has asked the Throne i des. patch a special high official to preside at the hial of the case.
+
This letter was submitted to His Excellency the Governor who replied on 29th ultima: The retention of the tanks, etc, will rest with the Sanitary Board. In my opinion wash- houses and tanks are most valuable means of combatting plague. remembering that we have found bugs, fleas, etc., etc., infected.
The President said—I think the members will agree with me it will be a most desirable measure to retain these wash-houses and tanke which have been in use in the experimental block which the Government took over. I move that the Sanitary Board approve of these wash- houses and tanks being retained.
Mr. Fung Wa Chun seconded, and the mo- tion was carried.
QUESTIONS BY MR. HEWETT.
owner has not hitherto been done. It would be a good plan to enforce this bye-law strictly
in future.
The President remarked that Mr. Lau Chu..... Pak's minute raised a most important question, Personally he had not seen the full drift of these bye-laws, which provided that any domestic building or part of such building which was oc- cupied by members of more than one family,
that was to say, a tenement, should unless specially exempted by the Board be cleansed and limewashed by the owner to the satisfaction of the Board not less than twice every year. If that was enforced it would do a great deal towards, checking the annual outbreaks of plague. Of course, if it was strictly enforced it would raise a hubbub, but still the bye-law was definite, and if carried out would do much to materially improve the City.
Mr. Hewett thought it was necessary that something more definite than cleansing and fine washing should be stated.
The matter was referred to the Fing Medical Officer of Health to report upon at the next Board meeting..
A, COMPLAINT. A complaint made by owners, shopkeepers, and occupiers of houses in Kennedy and Loong On Streets, Wanchai, as to the evidence of a smoke nuisance created by the chimney of a machine shop at No. 1 Kennedy Street was considered.
The Acting M. O. H. explained that there was no evidence that black smoke, was given off in such quantity us to be a nuisance.
It was decided to reply to that effect.

Mr. Hewett had given notice of a question regarding the non-removal of rubbish on the Playa on 8th inst.
The Acting M.O.II. explained that owing to typhoon signals having been hoisted the con- tractor's boats did not arrive to take the rub. bish away, and suggested as a means of obvia- ting the nuisance that destructors be erected at Victoria and Kowloon.

After a few hours they returned, and told bim that they had found the girl; but in case they had failed he would have been beaten to death. They then released him, and asked him to fetch the doctor to their house. After much threatening he consented to bring the doctor and left the house; but proceeded to report the incident to the police and subse quently had the prisoners arrested. At the Magistrace yesterday afternoon Mr. Sercombe Smith is sentencing them to three months' bard e ch, said he had a good mind to expose them both in the stocks, and have them placed at the corner of Ship Street..
As the time approaches when the prohibition of the import of arms into China will have run off, the manufacturers and their agents are be- coming busy with their offers, to the Chinese authorities. In the meantime the Chinese arsenals have not been slack in tuming out considerable quantities for the various provin cial and central authorities.
THE British consular report on the trade of Baghdad for last year notes that the crop of opium was exceptionally good both in quantity and quality, and about 777 cases were exported
to China (chiefly Hongkong, while 204 cases were shipped to Europe. Prices in Hongkong varied from $500 to $800 per case for fine opium, the tatter price being touched in November. The cause of the rise was speculation. Prices here ranged from £45 to £78 per case of 1404ths.
THE SILVER COMMISSION.
The Silver Commissioners sent la Europe by the Republic of Mexico had their first confer- ence at the Reichsbank in Berlin, on 16th ult, meet them, namely, Dr. Koch, President of the with the German representatives appointed to Reichsbank, Dr. Salomonsohn, Director of the Discon-togellschaft, and four other gentlemen. Almost simultaneously with the Mexican Commission, the members of the United States "Commission, on International Exchange who left Amsterdam on 14h, arrived in Berlin, and took up their quarters at the Hotel Bristol.
Mr. Hewett thought that if sampans got afloat junks could, and, if not, the contractor should obtain launches to low them to the Praya. The state of affairs as shown on Satur- day was most undesirable, most insanitary and most improper.

He thought it would be contrary to all precedent-and he could not suppose that the House would sanction such an operation to vote an enormous sum of money in order to remove an efficient dockyard from a site which it was properly defended, on as island that was a strategical necessity, to perhaps a less eligible site which would have to be defended, merely with the object of en. abling the Colony to extend their commercial establishments and marine parade.
