DEPROSY AND IT'S CAUSES,
It will have been seen from the report of the Legislative Council meeting on Monday afternoon that, standing in the name of the Don. H E Bullock, was the following resolution: That, in vew of the letter which was recently addressed by Mr Jona than Hutchinsoo, F.R.S., to The Times newspaper on the subject of leprosy lucing caused by tamted fish, it is desirable tirat the Hongkong Government should cause some inquiry to be made into the question by its Medical (ficers." Although the motion was not proceeded with, owing to A. S. WATSON & CO., the absence of the hon. member, it will, wo | think, be generally admitted that anything whah may tend to nd our territories of this most loathsome disease, and protect us against the dangers we run, should have the camest consideration of the authorities. we remember glaly it was Mr. Hutchinson, consulting surgeon to the Landon Hospital, who, two years ago, made investigations on the spot into the causes of leprosy in South Africa, and the conclusion he arrived at was 135 that the primary cause of the disease is the une, as lonci, ul badly cured salt fish. In his recent letter to The Tones he points out that, although the fish inputhesis has not as yet Treen openly endorsed by many of the lead. ing members of his profession, there is no doubt that a widespread impression as to its validity has been produced. When the point is definely settled, he urges the necessity of Governments, missionary organisations, and all in. civil authority, taking action to enforce the adequate supervision of salt fish factories and the regulation of the quantity and qua lity of salt used. In this connection much FURNITURE done in Hongkong, where cured

THE CHINA ASSOCIATION.
HONGKONG.DRANCH.
Following is the report of the committee of the Hongkong branch of the China Association to be presented to the annual meeting to- morrow afternoan :~~-
The last report was issued on the goth September, 1902; and the present review is intended to cover the period from that date to the 31st January, 1954. The questions which have accupied the attention of the committee have not been of so momentous a character as those dealt with in some previous years, but some important subjects have been handled, with gratifying results in severni cases, while as regards others it is hoped that the seed sown will ultimately bear fruit. The following are the chief questions that have come before the
piti
question, which ir, they are glad to now, receiving the strong and sympathetic support of the Colonial Goverment,
THE OCCUPATION OF NEWCHWANG BY THE RUSSIANS. The continued occupation of the treaty port of Newchwang by the Russians, and their active interference with its trade by collect- ing the Customs and port dues, imposing quarantine regulations, and in other ways treating it as conquered territory, bas greatly exercised the Association during the past year, and several appeals to the Foreign Office to interfere on behalf of the British interests ussailed have been made. So far, however, these appeals and all representations from Downing Street St. Petersburg consequent thereon, have been unproductive of result. Now that hostilities have broken out, between Russia and Japan the question appears likely to be scilled in the meantime by the retirement of the Russian troops in occupation of the port, Dating the period under review, several but it is to be hoped that in any future nego- attempts have been made by the provincialiations, Great Britain and other treaty powers will igidly insist upon Newchwang being authorities in the Two Kwang to impose new
axes on imports, and more especially on pre-restore to its original position as a Chine'e treaty port, and left in the undisturbed control pared opium. Thanks, however, to the ener
of l'cking, getic action of Consul-General Scott, whose representations were heartily seconded by your committee, these efforts failed, and the proposed taxes were withdrawn. For the present the energies of the mandarins in this direction have shekened; but a str.c' watch will be necessary to check the first attempt to impose new un authorised taxes.

OMISSIONS FROM THE U. R. TREATY

A letter having been addressed to the For- eiga Office-in which this Branch concurred pointing out certain omissions in the Com. mercial Treaty between the United States and China with regard to the allocation of the surtax to the Provincial Chinese Governments. to compensate for the loss of lekin which is, arranged for in the British treaty, and, the absence of any agreement about the excise to be levied on machine-made yarn, cloth, or other products of foreign type in China, a reply has been received pointing out that the fact that the United States Governnient have pot stipulated for all the conditions attached to those engagements by Great Britain, need not necessarily be taken as indicating that they attribute no importance to the points referred to by the Association.

The confirmation of the belief that a primary cause of the disease is the use as food of tainted fish is of considerable interest to the people of this Colony, an important part of whose diet consists of fish in different forms. It will be the hope of many that, at the ad- journed meeting of the Council on Monday, the subject will have the attention it merits and Mr. Pollock's motion receive the sup port of official and unofficial members.
