The restriction of trade extends to corpses, soil, plants with sail, old rags and the like, and the prohibition in the importation of such freight, while of the greatest im portance from a hygienic point of view, can affect but few, financially. Hongkong, it is true, has had to submit to this declaration for many years past and no doubt she is anxious to have it removed, but there is plague in Hongkong and the number of cases is reported to be increasing. The fact that
