relative to the The following minuter decision oema to at the last moofing of the Board to try and ascertain the death rate in Canton and Mseso from plague and other causes were laid on the table: -

Mr. LAU CHU-PAK-I understand that recently all the housos in Canton were patubared and the number of people living in such house recorded. If the British Cousal General is asked to approach the provincial florerament he may be able to arrange for the required information to be supplied.

In submitting the recommendation to the Government Dr. Ozankamiautod--We already recoirs weekly bulletins from Macso. I akinah the latest to hand. With regard to Cunton, I think that the Commissioner of Customs is the most likely person to obtain the figures the Board requires with regard to the death rate and population of the city of Cuator.

The PRESIDEN?-So far as my information goex, the two dollars are puki by the Guild of Peultry Dealers for copies supplied to the Guild for distribution among its mombers.

LAU CHU.PAR, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions, to which the PRESIDENT's replies are appended

Is it not likely that the clothes provided by the Sanitary Board may also get infected whate produced at the plague infected premises and bandled by coolies engaged in plague work? If so, what difference thoro between the poop!s's own clothes aud those provided by the Sanitary Board ?- The Sanitary Board clothing is disinfooted immediately after use.

Mr. Humphreys told in that it was between 1,000,000 and 1,250,000. I gather that was only a gunss. Captain Golon Gasarby is his book "Imad of the Boxors" públished in 1893, states on page 236 as follows, "In 1874 the population of Canton was 1,560,000, including the floating population, put¦ down at 230,000), and the inhabitants of Houam 100,000. He tells us that probably it is largely increased. I do not know, hat. I am inquiring as to the source of the information, The late Colonel Mark Bell, VC, in military report on China prined in Siasis in 1884. gives the population Canton as 1,000,000. From my acquaintance with this officer I am satisfied that those figures were the most reliable available when he included them in his work. In.
