1910 or 1911, will not be considered necessary to write again to the Treasury just yet; but when next we do so, it will be well to send them a copy of the marked passage on Page 94 of the Debates in the Hong Kong Council, as showing the latest views of the

$1,500 on the estimate for 1910. But the smell

uifference is not material for the moment.)
