Hongkong, 2nd July, Sin.—I have noticed ju a recount issue of your paper solo correspondenos having roteronca to contamination from publio rickshaw. There is no doubt that the danger of such cases doos exist, and it seems to me that the risk could be considerably reduced by a single simpla authed, which is the rule, not the exception, ia Singapore, Shanghai, - Tisnisiu,-and-other I refer to the important Oriental centres,

MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S POLICY.

London, 16th June! The debate on Mr. Chamberlain's policy was continued in the House of Lords last night.

Chan Wong was reenllad súd cross-examined | ¿ion by Mr. Slade. He said he went to the defendant's house on 24th December leat This was about 4 p.m. He saw no one else bosides the verandab. the defendant, who was on Wituens just opened the door and walked in ; ho had never been to the house beforn;

Li Kwan was called and examined by Mr. Bowley. He deposed that he was the master of the Sun Fa shop, 4, Western Market. He could not tell what happened in the sixth-moon last year, because he was in the country. Ho knew the defendant.

Mr. Bowley-Have you ever given him money?

Mr. Piper Might I ask your Worship to

The witness was cautioned, and replied that the defendant wanted 360 a month. Witness bine f gave the defendnut $30, and another man named Al Wong gave him $120. That was on 24th December last. Witness honded over the $30 at the defondant's house in Chater Stroot, Kennedytown. Besides the money. witness also carried some birds and cigare, but it was such a long time off that he forgot what kind of birds they were, Ah Wong had

The Dake of Devonshire strongly doubted the economic soundurss of Mr. Chamberlain's proposals, and believed that the enquiry will establish the principles of free-trade financo better than ever. He admitted that much that' was expected had happened during the last tow years requiring serious consideration, con- seqcoutly he failed to see how free-traders "could object to an enquiry, Me, Chamberlain he said, had opened the ease, and it remained

Mr. Dowley-What did you expect in return for the money?

Witness-Well, the inspector was sometimes very feracions, and used to strike everybody.

Mr. Bowley-And you thought that the giving of the money would make him less ferocious?

Witness-Well, we are business men, und whenever any European comes into our shợp s large crowd collects outside.

What will you during the last ton years, there seems to be no est- tled opinion as to the cause thereof.

Why it should cost more to grow a potato or to gear the anomic chickbus we are accustomed to see in Hongkong or to procura a none-too-fresh fish for the breakfast-table Because the price of silver bullion is depressed by New York manipulators is difficult to nader- stard,"

Well, Sir, I do not think the reasons are difficult to comprehend. In the first place the prices would be regulated by the law of demand end supply. Ten years ago this Colony had an estimated British and foreign population of 10,599; the latest official estimate published ziyes that population as 18,521. The Chi-

ness population of the Colony (exclusive of the New Territory) has increased in the same period by about 25,00 I suggest

that this large increase in the demand for market produce has cártoinly bad the effect of alancing prices to some extent. We might very well consider also what affect the great increase ju rents has had upon the cost of market produce. If the Chinese producer has to pay to day twive as much in rent as hidid ten years ago, his only way of raising additional income is to increase the welling price of bis produce. It may be

of property have increased very considerably, we also has the cost of all kinds labour, while it goes without the saying that the silver price of all materials imported from abroad for use here in industry and trade has had to be increased in proportion to the fall in exobange, All this must enter directly or indirectly into the ultimate cost of the humblo potato and the aus-mic chicken. The fact that the potato- grower and the poultry-keeper are getting more dollars for their produce to-day than they did ten years ago does not necessarily imply that their stock of dollars saved is proportionately greater.

I cannot see how it our been depied that prices ore affected to a fairly large extent by the currency medium, but inasunokas, ¿ consciously or unconsciously, we in Hongkong regulate our fusocial affairs on a gold basis
