At the outset it may be well to offences, there appears an increase, principally point out, what seems too often ignared, that in respect of larceny, as compared with 1902, of 863 cases, or 21.58 per cent. in the former,

As an example of a common error in this matter, we note that an esteemed if it were customary for persons when engaging servants to obtain their photographs and their names, parents' names and addresses in Chi- nese characters.
The value of the property reported stolen during the year was $228,061,37, and the value of the property recovered by the police and restored to owners was $16,941,16. Une thou- sand six hundred and twenty-three search warrants for prepared opum were executed by the police and excise otheers of the Opium

The estimated damage caused by fires was $148,000 and by incipient fires $1,704. There was only an intermittent supply of water in the mains from 1st Janu-ry to thich May, and from arst December to 31st Decem her, during which perind sea water was used as much as possible in order to save the fresh

Use serious fire occurred, during the period of intermittent water supply, on 4th Apr 1 at No. 271, Queen's Road West, where live houses were wholly destroyed, and the dal damage was estimred at $3,000 most of which was covered by insurance.

A case of a tempted arson was discovered at No. 205. Queen's Road West on the morning of the 18th April by P. C. 261, Wang U, who raised an alarm and with the assistance of the occupants of the ground floor extir guished the fire before much damige was done. The m ster of the tailor's shop on the 1st floor and his wifo were prosecuted for arson. The two de fendants were und guilty and sentenced to seven years and six months' imprisonment with hard labour, respectively, at the Criminal

There were no repor for drunkenness; 113 for asleep on duty, as against 111; 18 for disorderly conduci, as avainst 33; and 334 for absence from station, duty and parades, against 371 in 1002. The conduct of the contingent may be considered air, as 16 men had no reports against them, 59 men had only 1 rach, and many of the

REWARDS.
One inspector was awarded a gund conduct medal for good work done during the epidemic of plague. One inspector, two indian ser geants, two Chinese sergents, and one Chinese constable were granted good conduct medals for long and faithful servi e, and two Chinese The conduct of the Brigade has been good.

action in the son case of No. 265 Queen's Foad Central.
Chief Inspector Baker, was appointed 2nd Assistant Superintendent on the 18th April in succession to Chief Inspector Mackie, who retired on pension.
Capt Lyons regrets to record the death of Mr. Robertsen, the assistant engineer, which took place on 25th July. He wis a very useful officer, and his death occasioned a great loss to the Brigade.
Sergeant McSwayed acted as Assistant En- gineer up to 15th September, and Sergeant McDonald since that date.
It has been suggested by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government that there should be an annual competition. This should give a zest to the drills and tend towards smartness and efficiency.
An assistant engineer, with practical fre brigade experience, is expected from England this year. This appointment should be of great advantage to the brigade.
A new fire brigade station is much to be desired. The present one is too small for the increased requirements, and is position in a busy thoroughfare, hampers the home drills and cause's obstruction. A new and convenient site has been atixgested, but will not be available for some time.
Ordinance No. 1 of 1913, Sectfan 149, neces- sitates the provision of fire escape for all new houses (and for previously existing buildings in three years) for every story more than forty feet from the ground.
ENGINEER'S. REPORT.
THE NEW TERRITORY.
Mr. E. R. Halifax repo ted that, during the year there were 14 Europeans, 96 Indians, and 43 Chinese with 10 boatmen stationed in the New Territory on land, up to September: after September the number of Indians was reduced to 80, while another crew of five boatmen was added.
The increase in the gang robberies, he says, not due to general relapse, but was the work especially of two particular pangs: most of the members of both have been arrested and convicted. The last two months of the year shewed an immediate improvement in con- sequence.
EDUCATION.
Mr. A. W. Graps, assistant-in-charge of the police school, reported that, during the year, the school was open on 98 days, with a total at- tendance of 4.236, giving a daily average attendance of 43. As in former years, two examinations for European police constables were he d. At one 10 men presented them-
selves and & passed, and at the other 7 men presented themselves and 4 passed,

Yokohama contemporary, discussing the ques- tion of the Russian squadron remaining at the French possession of Jibutil, remarks! "As 10 time of war no vessel of a belligerent Power can remain a neutral port more ban twenty-four hours, it would apsear that the Frenc': Government has shown some latitude to sealing with the vessels, since,
Government, the warships did not according to the Note received from the French butel) till the 18th-eight days after war bad leave
heen declated" But there is so ternational law, either of custom or conventus, which provides that war vessels of a belligerent Power musi no, remain in a neutrd port more then wery for hours. Great Britain, it is true,
clamming neutrality, but, so far as we are aware, makes a regulation to this effect when pro-
he stands alone in this respect. At any tale, each Power makes us own rules and regula ions for the observance of neutrality, and, while these are based on the international law or under tanding that neutrality implies als stinence from rendering assistance to either of the belligerents, they naturally vary in detail in accordance with the traditions and customs of each country.
In view of the discussion that has arisen over the libu il incident, it may therefore be in
eresting to refer to the declaration of neutrality published by the French Government on the

It will be seen from this clause that accord-
ing to the cules relating to neutrality adopted by the French Government there is an hmita tan of the period a belligerent ship may stay in a French port unless such vessels are accum- pamed by prizes. Therefore no infraction of contated by any international law was France in allowing the Russian squadron to remain at Jibutil for several days after war was declared, nor was there any infraction of the general regulations for the observance of neutrality laid down by the French Govern- ment on the outbreak of a war, while we have already shown that France hus never been a party to any declaration that coal must be regarded as contraband of war.
While the French proclamation vi u otality sin general termis, the instructions to the French authorities issued in 1898, 10 which the attention of officials is again drawn, are much more explicit, and lay down rules which are to be regarded as constituting the tradition of the French Government. It is there laid down that by the traditions of the French Gover ment the duration of the stay in French ports of belligerent ships unaccompaored by a prize
