GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. Heiser of the W, S. Public Health and Marine INFORMATION has been received from the Hospital Service states that it is particularly Military Authorities that GUN PRACTICE creditable to the officers on duty in China and will be carried out from Stonecutters Island Jahan that notwithstanding that plague bason the 30th September, 1903, at targets in a Westerly direction, to the South of, Chung Hus been epidemic at Hongkong and Amoy during Island. the year, and present at other ports in those countries, not a single case of this disease found in Manila could be traced to infection from without. This fact is particularly noteworthy because the plague at Hongkong and Amoy has been epidemic, and these ports are only two and three days' sail respectively from Manila. It is also a matter for congr⚫tulation that the plague has been confined to Manila. So far the other parts in the Philippines have not become in- fected. Much of the success in the manage. ment of the plague is, no doubt, due to the mutual co-operation between the Board of Health and the Public Health and Marine- Hospital Service. An effort has been made-to fumigate with sulphur for the purpose of kill. ing rats and vennin the entire shipping which enters the port of Manila. This work has been almost accomplished, there being very few vessels that have not been fumigated at least once. The Board of Health has kept n force of rat catchers along the water front, and fumigated with sulphur all the smaller vessels which are engaged in river and harbour work. During the year 163 vessels were fumigated at Manila for which purpose about twenty tons of sulphur was used.
On the whole we have bad the hearty co- operation of the shipping interests in this work; in addition to the destruction of rats, the des truction of cockroaches and other vermin on board vessels was very agreeable to them. The work so far has been accomplished with practi cally no delay or loss to shipping. It has been

plagne was at its height in Hongkong and in our present stock of Pianos and BRAND, HARTMANN'S GREY PAINT, Amoy. This suggestion has always been com- plied with in the past. This year a different course was pursued. It was found that abolish. ing the steerage accommodations for the time being resulted in that class of passengers engaging cabin accommodations. This made the last condition worse than the first because they avoided thereby the measures which would have been employed had they been allowed to come as steerage passengers.
The method of procedure this year has been, whenever possible, to detain them under. medical observation for seven days at the port
of embarkation, and after bathing them and disinfecting their effects they are permitted to proceed to Manila. Upon their arrival here they are again bathed and their effects disin fected. If they made no objection the Board of Health injected them with Shiga serum before landing. In summing the matter up. however, it is probably safe to say that the principal factor in dealing with the plague was that the rats and vermin were destroyed in the vessels before the plague epidemic began and then kept free from vermia since that time. The same course has been pursued at the other port of entry in the Islands.

Two vessels which were tying in the Harbourful and perfect piano-players that she has were reported to us by the Board of Health as having had a case of pingue on board.
