SIR HENRY BLAKE AND THE
PREVENTION OF PLAGUE.
We noted briefly last evening, as we went to press, the proceedings of the meeting at the Council Chamber when H. E. the Governor met the members of the Sanitary Board for the purpose of submitting a statement as to the results of the recent administration of the experimental blocks of houses in Second and Third Streets,
We reprint in the present issue the full report of the, proceedings as given by our morning contemporary to-day.

God grant that it might not be so, but he was afraid, His Excellency said, that it would be so, Sections 22 and 23 of the memorandum showed in how many ways plague had been disseminat. ed, and the point that was in his mind-grop- ing in the dark as he supposed most of our Addressing the meeting, His Excelleney savants were-was that probably it was pro- said he had deferred it until he had first pre- pagated by insects to a very great extent; and pared a memorandum which those present had if that was so than to his mind the insects to received giving an accomt of the experiment attack in dealing with the prevention of plague that, with the permission of ve Sanitary Board,

Although cleanliness was a virtue to be encouraged, personally the speaker thought that disinfection was a more important thing in dealing with plague, and be also thought it did not necessarily follow that because bugs were found in a plague house they disseminated the disease; naturally; if a

and it was a question worth considering whether some of the money that was go ing to he put in limewashing would not be better expended by providing tanks and boiling water. What they had to aim at was efficiency and economy. They would find from the last report of Dr. Hunter-for whose co. operation he was very grateful all through in this matter that those bugs in which plague had been found lived in a glor 4 per cent. Jeyes fluid, when totally immersed, for about 15 minutes; and even in the strongest solution for about 50 seconds. In that case they would have to consider whether the process of disin fection by an ordinary coolie with a solution of Jeyes' fluid, which might or might not be of that strength, of that furniture, would be so effective as if they got the people themselves to do it

Of course it was a simple matter. There was nothing heroic about it, but it might save money and lives-certainly the former. It was a question also whether more good or injury was done by the limewashing of a roonr not open to sunlight and without a fireplace and leaving the walls in a wet condition. thanked them for the opportunity they had given him of carrying out this experiment. He had already expressed his gratitude to Mr. Fung Wa Chun for the assistance he had afforded him. Then he knew they had been considering the question of local hospitals. Now, the local hospital that he established in Third Street was a very primitive affair, but there was no doubt in his own mind that if Ingal hospitals were established and properly looked after-because he did not pretend to say that this hospital was · roperly looked after

It was not, however, the quesi ·|

to further his wishes in the matter.
The Eastern Division of the City lies to the East of Graham Street and Endicott Street. Kowloon is divided into Eastern and Western Division by Robinson Road and a straight line drawn from the North end thereof through the Yaumati 'service reservoir to the Northern boundary of Kowloon.

His Excellency said he did not claim any originality for the idea regarding tanks; he took that idea from an examination of tanks in use by the Godown Company in Kowloon. They were all aware that there was hardly a large hong in the Colony that had not had its business interrupted by the loss of coolies from plague. Two years ago the Godown Company ROOMS TT established these tanks, and they had not lost a man since. The experiment having already been made by the Godown Company, His Ex- cellency trusted that the influence brought to bear upon other large hongs by the Sanitary Board would induce them to follow the ad- mirable example, set by the Godown Company in Kowloon.
This was all the business, and the meeting concluded.

TERMS As usual,
might dare to attemp- that from which proles- ture, it would be money well expended: tion whether the bug carried the disease sional men would probably shrink. For over ten years now plague hail swept over the Colony annually, like a typhoon, sweeping away thousands in its path, and before its ravages sanitary precautions and medical science, had alike been ineffectual. As regard ed the memorandum, His Excellency proceed ed, he might therein have said something that perhaps some of those present thought would have been better left unsaid, but he was of opinion in framing it that it would be better both for the public and for them that nothing should be omitted which might render more complete or effective any arrangements made. for carrying on the business of fighting this epidemic in the future. To begin with, he was quite satisfied that na sanitary arrangements which could be made would ever be efficiently or economically carried out until the co-opera-and. dip the furniture into boiling water. tion of the people had been secured. Here, as dlsewhere, it had been the habit to say that this co-operation of the people was not pos;. sible that it could not be attained. The speaker had been intimately associated with the government of all sorts and conditions of men, from his own mercurial countrymen to the Exquimeaus of the Far North of Labrador, the negro of the West Indies, and now the re- presentatives here of the Chinese race, whose civilisation had existed for thousands of years longer than ours; and he found that if the people were only approached in a proper spirit they could be indigeed to fallow the course. marked out for them. Teman nature was very much the same, in the East as in the West. As Shylock said " If you prick me, will I not bleed; if you lickle me,.will I not laugh; if you poison me, will I not die ; if you wrong❘ me, will I not avenge? In Labrador, the-with all the appliances of a local hospital nomad Esquimeau had been taken p›ssession and all the nourishment that the patients of by sympathetic action; the Moravian Mission, established there. had by its exertions trans- formed these nomad Esquimeaux, who post sessed among themselves na elements of higher feeling, into a respectable, law-abiding, trading community. Whilst in the West Indies, con- tinued His Excellency, he remembered that a great scare of cholera occurred in the Bahamas. There all the water was procured from surface well, which were very dity. The general idea was that the position was desperate, because 'the islands were la abited by a primitive popu- lation of negroes' His Excellency got those people together, and asked them to do some thing for themselves. He explained to them where the danger was and told them what to do -to get their wells cleaned and keep themclean, Arrangements to that and were carried out; the walls were cleaned and made perfectly safe. In Jamaica, as in most places, the negroes were very improvident; their farming was conducted on very primitive lines, and they had no idea of progress. Here again they were got together, an agricultural society, with small branches, was established, leading local men gave their Assistance, and trained men were secured to teach the negroes what they ought to do. Now that agricultural society at Jamaica was the most flourishing institution in the island, the people were improving their methods, and the island was. becoming more and more prospe- rous, In Hongkong, His Excellency said, they had been faced with the same conditions; they were face to face with a great difficulty, but they entered upon their task with the de- termination to leave nothing undone that money could accomplish in the effort to try to reduce the ravages that plague was responsible for. That the Colony had not been skimpedir the maller of ranitation would be realised when it was stated that in 1897 the expenditure on sapitation was about $95,0-0; în 1898, in round numbers, it was $105,000; and the estimated expenditure for next year was $481,000. No. body, therefore, could say that money had been spared or denied on sanitation in Hong- kong, but so far as concerned this particular disease-plague-we were just where we were in 1897. The people, however, were now more inclined to extend their help, but there still existed a doubt, a suspicion, a distrust of authority that was not confined to the Chinese alone; but was really found in certain classes Ja all countries. It was His Excellency's experience in other countries that if the people were approached in proper spirit and trusted a little way they would respond, and if the gentlemen present read the memorandum placed before them they would fed that in that small area in the West ern district handed over to His Excellency, an aren picked out as being amongst the worst in the Colony, and Inhabited by a very poor class of Chinese, the people did respond, 'and 're- sponded most satisfactorily. He had no hesita tion in saying, went on His Excellency, that the co-operation and activity of the kalfong were worthy of any people of their class in any country. It behoved them, it behoved the members of the Sanitary Board as the people In whore kande the carrying out of sanitary
required and were able to take-f a few such hospitals were established he hoped and believed that they would reduce the disinclination of the people to go to Kennedy town, which, they must remember, had a very ominous name for the ordinary Chinese; and if they could only spread the system of kaifongs or street committees they might get from them the same hearty assistance that he gratefully acknowledged he got from the committees of the Western district. They would find in the return what was perhaps the only real, trustworthy census that had ever been taken here; every man, woman and 'child living in every one of those 614 floors appeared in the census; and they had to remember that that had not been done by him or by Inspector Gidley, who had worked for him, but the Kai- fongs worked it out themselves and presented it to them. It showed in the first place what he thought they had not known before-the real proportion of people living in that district and the prevalence of overcrowding, from the point of view of public health. Still in considering all the sanitary matters they must not forget that the ultimate result of the new Ordinance must be to double the rent of every floor. He thought he was right in saying that a house which, built under the old Ordinance would, cast $2,000, would now cost $2,5co. It would cost 25 per cent, more to build and it would accommodate only three- fifths of the inhabitants. The effect of the new law therefore would be to very largely increase the expenses of house rent to the poor people of the town and increase also the expenses of labour, for labour would bear all the increased £ expenses in the future. Therefore in carrying out sanitary measures it behoved them for the sake of the people who had to pay. the piper to try to obtain co-operation that would give them the same or better results with the saving of a great deal of money. That could only be done by approaching those people with sympathy, and he was sure it would always meet with & response from them, and he saw no reason why it should not be tried. They had a neucleus in that district, and they might possibly try it in that district. He commended it to them, and again he thanked them for having given him the opport unity of trying this, one of the most interesting experiences be had ever had in his life,
DR. ATKINSON'S REPLY.
Hon. Dr. Atkinson said that consideration of the the question of establishing tanks all over the City was deferred until the present meeting had heen held, but it would be entered into seriously at the meeting of the Sanitary Board on Thurs. day, and the result of the discussion would be communicated to the Government at the earliest moment, Personally, Dr. Atkinson thought the establishment of tanks all over the Colony was rather too big an order almost to com. menco at once, and he suggested that probably a better scheme would be to introduce it slowly, and, in the first instance, to try to get em players of labour-the Cotton Mills, and so on to establish tanks of the klud mentioned for their workmen, because, since they had bean,
