special cleansing (2), the times selected were suited to the idiosyncrasies of the Chinese (3), the cleansing throughout the City was simultaneous. In my opinion, the setion which the Board invited me to take will have no useful result. The whitewashing in each district is spread over two months; there is therefore no simultaneous cleansing, and any notices issued as it were, but may refer to something which is to happen in a month or six weeke. Further, the times selected in each district are those which suit the Board und not the Chinese population The Registrar General's notices would be issued six times a year instead of twice, sad would therefore Ice much of their fores."

It was intimated that H, E. the Governor had approved an application from Mr. J. J. Bryan, Sanitary Surveyor, for seven wooks leave of absence.
Mr. OSBORNE said This motion had its origin in consequence of certain statements that are made in a memorandum or petition dated 20th June, 1901, which was drawn up and sent to the Government, and has since boon mulle public. I consider that there Lakatements in that memorandum which are not in secordance with facts, and other statements which are misleading, and it was my first intention to call for a complete list of the whole of the recommends tions of the Sanitary Board for the past tan years, and, side by side in parallel columns, to give a list of those that have been given effect. fo. But that would have involved a vast amount of work, and I Hmited my motion to these three important items This return I don't propose to speak upon at the present moment, as I shall have an opportunity later on of embodying it in a commandes tion I intend to make to the Governor

On the motion of the PRESIDENT. Dr. Clark was appointed to fill temporarily Mr. Bryan's office.
Mr. F. Browne, the Government Analyst's reports on the public water supplies for the month of July were laid on the table. Three samples were analysed-one from the Pokfulam service (pamping station.

We learn of many harrowing details which may interest our renders. One we will mention to show what risks the Chinese will ran in their greed of gain: On the roof of a small godown beneath the larger building in Messrs. Fraser, Ramsay & Co.'s premises some twenty men were seen by a party of foreign ladies and gentlemen from a close point of rantage. Landing along goods by which they hoped to profit, when suddenly the wall of the, larger building fell on them. Six were seen como out, the others probably wore killed

we heard of too many cases of fractured limbs and burat bodies having been taken to the Foocher Native Hospital. Then the ordinary locters, no doubt, a bad lot always present at fres, fared badly at the hands of the soldiers. The whole street was teeming with them. They were shown no mercy, for nothing short of sword wuls in the upper arm would induce them to part with their loot. The gentry will not be so eager to attend fires in the future.
The Provincial authorities were kind and most helpful not only in sanding in soldiers to preserve law and order as far as possible. but in sending in their fire engines ably manned. Foochors Echo.
