'HONGKONG, TURDAY, JUNE 19, 1894.

THERE is no doubt a very strong feeling in the Colony against the authorities na account of the foolish concessions made to Chinese prejudice during the un- fortunate outbreak of Asiatic typhus * | now amongst us. Whether the Governor,

Dent Committee of the Sanitary Board -or all of them together are respon- sible for the pooy which is so: gene-. rally condemned, it is an open secret that the Acting Colonial Secretary takes" credit for it. Although perhaps few persona interested would seek to dispute this honour with Mr Stewart Lookhart, it is believed that the redoubtable Chair- man of the Permanent Committee has also expressed himself to be quite will. ing to take the responsibility. That, however, is a small matter, as the Secre tary of State is likely to argue out a matter of this kind pretty much on his own lines. We have from the outset opposed the action of the Government in abandoning to the Chinese what ap peared to us to be a wosteríal administrs- tive duty. When the statement at first gained currency we treateditas an absurd Yumour. His Excellency, we thought, would never give up his functions in such an offhand manner, especially dur ing an emergency, unless he had some most cogent reason for doing so much, for instance, as a distinct. declaration from the Medical staff that they would nos be responsible for the duo perfor mance of their duties otherwise. There

is good reason to believe, however, that the Medical authorities have been decidedly and consistently opposed throughout to the weak gonsessions 1924 lately made to the Uhinese by the Go-,

vernment. On the ground of public policy, these concessions are commerly condemned: they have lowered the re- putation of British administration in the eyes of the Chinese here sud in Canton. But the notion referred to was, of course, opposed by the medical men on the score of humanity and in the interests of Western medical science. These ill- timed concessions also exercised a most
