HONGKONG SANITARY

BOARD.

A meeting of the Sanitary Board was held yesterday afternoon in the Board. Hoom. Dr 1. M. Atkinson prasided, and there were also prosent Hon. A. W. Brewin, Mr. F. J. Badeley, Mr. E. A. Hewett. Mr. A. Rumjala, Dr. P. Barnett and Mr. T. H. Hanmer (souretary).

The minutes of the previous meeting were 1:onfirmed.

"CLEANSING® THE...(UTY...........

The M.O.H., in a minute, suggested that the general cleansing operations be started in Novomber. Other members of the Board agreed with him, advising that the Board edopt the same procedure as last year. It was estimated that the expenditure would be as follows:--

Soft soup

Fitting up boilers...

Firewood ...

Coolie hire for hanlage

Total...

$3,000 $2.00

81,000 $3.000

SAVAO

Dr. ATKINSON said they all agreed to this risansing, rot only from a sanitary point of view, bat also as a measure against plague. Last year the cleansing was soumenced in November, and lasted till the end of February, During this period 31,226 floors were cleansed, coding the Government 96,122, as against $8,000 in the previons year.

The great difference was accounted for by the fact that the Chinese undertook to do the work them- The Board selves to the Board's satisfaction. supplied soft soap and coolies for losling away the dirt. A committee was appointed last year to consider any complaints. If the house couplers did not do the cleansing after receiving dues notice, the Board took the watter into its own hands. Ha expected they would be able to do it at oven a less expenditure than just year. They might even save 82,00, thus doing the work at a cost of $4,000. He pro- Red that they approach the Government for the necessary funds, and appoint the same com- mittes as last year Messrs. Lan Cha Pak. Fang Wa Chun. Dr. Pearse, and E. A. Hewett. Mr. Hewart seconded. He thought that tanks should be supplied to the Chinese to dip their verinimous bed-hoards in. I connection with this cleansing and plague prevention they must not forget what-Sir Henry Blake had dons; he was the originator of the valauble experiment, getting the Chinese to co-operate..

Dr. At inson's proposal was agreed to.

A LOCAL TRADE GRIEVANCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS."

SIR, -Some time ago the engineering shops in the Wanchai district received warning from Gavernment to cease carrying on a noisy and noisome trade, to wit boiler-making, &." within a given period which is now approaching maturity.

The effect of this is that several of the shops have already moved, and the others are prepar- The following jury was empanelled:-Mesurying to follow so soon as their resources pormit. L. L.

After hearing the evidence the jury found the charge proven.

is needless to say that the memorandum seldom roaches the owner. The Inspector on his re- visit of the premises the next day or later finds the continuance of the nuisance and reports the case to the Senior Inspector of the District, who, on being satisfied of the existence of the nuianace, notifies the Secretary of the Board. The Secretary directs a search to be made in the Land Office for the name of the owner, whose address is then ascertained, either at the Treasury or the Registrar Generals Office. A notice is then made out calling upon the owner to abate the nuisance within a specific timo Thus days ofton elapse before a trivial choking of a downpipe or trap can be remediod. It frequently happens that as soon as the nuisance has been abated by the owner, on receipt of the notice, the household refuse, instoul of being consigned to a dust box, is swept into the down- pipe or trap. in consequence of which the Inspector on a re-visit finds the downpipe. or trap still choked, and a further report is made to the Secretary that the nuisance continues unabated. Prosecution then follows. In many instances, the tenant, in his endeavour to cleanse the downpipo and trap, rum, a bamboo into them breaking one of the caps of the pipe or the bottom of the trap, and the same procedure as detailed above takes place. As the occupier or teuant is the author of this nuisance he should

(1). The occupier being the person by whose act default or sufferance the nuiesuco is created or allowed to contiune, if looked upon for abatement, would endeavour to collect the bonsehold refuse and deposit it in n thast box (now an ordinary kerosene tin is allowed to be used as a dust bor) instead of allowing it to be washed into the downpipe or drain.

(2). In the event of the choking of dewupipe or trap the nuisance can be abated by one of tha occupiers in the presence of the Inspector by whom the nuisance is discovered in less time than it takes that officer to make out his memorandum or to report the case to his senior; and in the ease of leakage or broken condition of the pipe or trap twenty-four hours would be an ample time for the occupier to abate the nuisanco, which would otherwise con- tinue to be unabated for days under the present ragime.

(3). If the wrongdoer is punished a reduc

tion in this class of nuisances will result, damage to downpipes and traps will be less frequent. and the work of the Eanitary Departament leasenail.

I may add that our law relating to the abatement of this class of naisanos (Sect. 29 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordiounes)

Dr. ATKINSON said that this mattor was

very well locked after at present. When abato practicable they asked occupiers to nuisances, but there were cases-such as thoro being several occupiers on one door-pien it

was necessary to come down on the owner.

APPLICATIONS.

Dr. Hunter gave evidence showing that rupture of the spleen was the canss of death. The man, it appeared, was removed to hospital in a ricksha; the jolting of the ricksha could not cause rupture of the spleen, but it would be liable to aggravate the rupture after it had beon sustained.

T. Grimshaw gave evidence regarding the methods adopted to bring the injured coolie round.

After further evidence being led, the case was adjourned until to-day.

THE LIAOYANG CRITICISMS,

Although the Timer was included with the Daily Telegraph as having belitttied the

Japanese victory at Liaoyang, and bepraised Kuropatkin's strategy, there is no evidence of "pigne" in the Times orrespondent's criticism. Here is what he actually wrote :-

"Now I come to the mare delicate question. of criticism. As my information of such an azormous operation must in any circumstances at present be somewhat incomplete, great di culties being placed in the way of acquiring information. I will not attempt more than broadly to state one or two opinions,

At the first hearing recently Messrs. Sakurai and Nozawa appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Hirata for defendant. Counsel for the plaintiff asked that apologies should be published in Faya- | nese in the Japanese papers, in Chinese in the Chinese papers, and in their respective languages in the other journals. He also used that they should be inserted for three days, and be to the following effect:-"On January 25th, 1904, the Kobe Brouch of the Russo-Chinese Back applied to the police and municipal authorities at Shanghai, through the Russian Consul, to arrest Yeu Shi-so, the ex-compratore of the Russo Chinese Bank Lt Kobe on the ground that he had run away to. Shanghai with money of the Bank. This was libellous and untrue, and the

good name of Yea Shi-so was considerably injured in couseqDENCE. The authorities of the Russo-Chinese Bauk therefore, most sincerely beg him to pardon their very improper action." Plaintiff's counsel added that, if defendant failed to comply with an order for the insertion of this apology, plaintiff would insert a notice in the papers and claim the refundment of the amount expended from the defendant. It was further stated that, last year, defendant brought an action against plaintiff in the. Tokyo Chiko

Saibansho. on the pretext that plaintiff had embazzled the sum of Yen 293,526.84, while in

the service of the Bank. But plaintiff not on's refused to accept responsibility for any such mousy, bat also susd the Bank in the Tokyo

Chiho Saibansho to recover damages amounting. to Yeu 535,307, from the Bank. Both enses are still in progress. In spite of the above facts: when plaintiff was on his way to Shang. hai, on January 23rd, 1904, by the Japanese urgent business. steamer Hairai-maru, 942 defendant applied to the police authorities at Shanghai to arrost him од his arrival After what I had read in all the papers of there, offering a reward of Yen 2,500 for the excellent tactics and strategy of the his arrest, with the result that plaintiff was Japinoere I must allow that what I saw inuable to lears the ship at Shanghai and had practice did not come up to my expectation to return to Japan. Mr. Hirata, counsel for My honest opinion is that there was nothing strategically excellent in the handling of either army. If strategical success has been attained by either belligerent General Kuropatkin cau
