A YEAR'S ACTIVITIES.
ANNUAL REPORT..
The annual general meeting of the Hong- kong Branch of the China Association will be held in the City Hall, on Tuesday, 2nd February at 5 pm. Following is the report:
During the past year the attention of your Committee has been engaged upon a variety of subjects bearing upon British interests in Chion, and whenever the circumstances have sapmed to warrant it, representations have been made in the usual manner by telegram or latter to the London. Branch or by letter.39

BRITISH FOST OFFICE IN TIENTSIN. The first matter thur dealt with was an ap peal from the Titotain Branch in support of the efforts which, they were making to retain
the services of the British Post Office in that
concession. Bolb Shanghai, and Hongkong joined Ticatsin in impressing upon the London Branch the importance of keeping the office open, and the result of the Association's fa tervention in this: particular case was; as you are aware, the justituziou "of a new arrange ment postponing the threatened closure for a period of one year. At the end of that time tha problem thus temporarily disposed of will recur, when it is hoped that there will be found some, mora lasting method of solving it to the satisfaction of the Tientsin community.
VARN LOTTERY TICKETS.
The next occasion upon which it appeared that representation might usefully be made was provided by the introduction of lottery tickets as an incentive to the purchase of certain kinds of Japanese yara, in a letter addressed to the Lon. don Branch on, the 26th March, we directed

„OPIUM MONOPOLIES: Another development of the oplum question, which necessitated our taking action, arose when the Provincial authorities at Canton made an attempt to establish a monopoly The case was on all fours with that success fully fought agalast the Nanking Viceroy last year.

Upon the subject of the difficulties created for this Colony by the erratic management of the Cactop Mint representations have again been made. Writing to the Loa- don Branch in April we said it will be. within your recollection that some years ago, in consequence of 'au, excessive issue of subsidiary coin by the Canton Mint authorities, that' commodity' fall to tot % dis count, dragging down in its descent, almost to the same level, Hongkong to cat's pieces.

The prompiness and energy displayed by the British Consul-General in Caston sufficed to stay the Viceroy hand, and the restrictions complained of were withdrawa..
But although it was anderstood that their withdrawal applied to the whole of the Kwang tung Province, no long time elapsed before the discovery-was made that they had not been rescinded in the Swatow district, and that steps were being taken to carry them into force.
An account of these proceedings, with which wa were furnished, was passed on to the Lon. den Branch by letter, but again through the activity and firmness of the Consul-General at Canton the situation was straightened out before it had time to develop any awkward
features.

The speaker prefaced bis remarks by observ ing that he yielded to go ons is his admiration of the Chinese. At the present day the Chinese race had the largest brain in the universs, be- cause they had been educated for the last four or five thousand years, and they made good use of that brain. He looked upon them as the highest intellectual race of the face of the earth. Speaking of the characteris. tics of the Chinaman, Dr. Cantlie referred to the fact that bla eye was said zo be oblique. But the socket, be explained, was not, oblique; the appearance was ac counted for by the non-development of the bridge of the nose. Another peculiarity was that the Chinese had no bamps upon their foreheads liké's Europeau, which made them took quite borish. The consequence was that

TRADE MARKS. Another subject frequently discussed and writ: tan about was the growing menace to the pros pects of British commerce in the Far East from the imitation of trade marks. The whole ques tion of the proper protection of trade marks has occupied a large space in the work of the year, bot as the correspondence between the London Braoch and the Foreign Office, and between the local Branch and the Colonial Government has been invariably confidential, it can find no place in this report. The results have, how ever, been satisfactory in so far as that many danbiful points have been cleared up, and evidence has been shown of no earnest desire, | on the part of all British cfficials concerned, to safeguard, in 'every way lo their power, the faterests of the mercantile.community.

The serious question raised for ibis Colony by the inconsiderate action of His Majesty's Ministers, in suddenly announcing as early intention of closing the opium houses, seemed to the members of your Committee to call for prompt representation, and at once the follow jag telegram was despatched to the Home Branch,

And it is not ably with the officials of the Colonial Government that we have sought to maintain good relations. Your committee were privileged to entertain privately His Britannic Majesty's Minister to Peking on the occasion of his vivis to the Colony in April. when he avowed himself at all times anxious to hear the views of the mercantile community. Similar assurances on behalf of the general committee were given to us by the Association's President, Mr. J. H. Scott, whom also we had the pleasure of entertaining recently, H. E. the
Governor honouring the occasion by his pro sence. The President stated that the views advanced by cach Branch levariably received the most earnest and careful attention of there who conduct the business of the Association ai home, and begged on to believe that in com.. municating the opinions of the British mercan tile community of Hongkong we were always certain of gaining au interested and sympathetic hearing.

The speaker described the system in vogue to-day in China of punciur ing, which consisted of sticking various needles on 367 different points of the body. The needles were introduced in vari- ous ways, according to directions always care- fully laid down for whatever the pain was. They had to go a certain depth, upwards or downwards, obliquely or straight, and so on. The Chinese surgeon did nothing else to-day, There was no Chinese-trained, doctor who would dare to amputate a finger, surgery hav- ing gradually fallen away. The great idea was that of counter-irritation, which was carried cut also by plasters and burning the skin. There were outside and inside doctors, doctors for the eye, the ear, and everything, and it
