on your own showing, the water, bad as it is acknowledged to be now, must necessarily be rendered more impure during the coming months, until finally it becomes, liquid mud. Am I then to understand that consumers now being sup. plied from the Fokfulam Reservoir are to be given water of the present or worse quality during an indefinite period?

General Gordon suggested that the Board make a request to the Surveyor General for information on the subject and hold a special meeting on an early date...

Hongkong, 20th May, 1889.
Dr. Cantlie said he had only dealt with the subject preliminarily. If they met this day week it would give the Surreyor General or Mr. Cooper time to answer the questions he had put. If they could get that information it would be excellent work when it is possible the filter beds of the Pokfulum Reservoir may be finished, and if the Tytam water can be put into the DR. HARTIGAN TO THE ACTING SURVEYOR present Pokfulam pipes. Meantime something must be done. The only danger was from the mad. He had satisfied himself there war organic matter found its way from the gathering ground into the Reservoir. It was not possible to filter the mud, Alum, however, was a good precipitate. He proposed, therefore, that a table should be made out stating the quantity of alum required, and that ntum should be supplied, and gratis to all who applied. His own experience was that three grains or about half a salt spoon- ful of alum was required for a gallon of water,
The President said the water required 24 hours to settle and there were few residents who could store a sufficient quantity. He doubted if there would be any applications for alum. He had represented the matter very strongly to the Government as far as regards the Hospital and and insisted on having tänks provided.”·
The Surveyor General said that steps had already been taken to improve Pokfulam water with plum.
Dr. Cantlie-What process has been adopted? The Surveyor General--That is a question I would prefer answering next week The matter has not been lost sight of either before my arrival or since; and from the conversations 1 have had with Mr. Cooper, I am sure that every- thing has been done that can be done under the circumstances. In the future everything that lies in my power will be done,
Mr. Francis said he would like to add to Dr. Cantle's motion. That the promptest possible measures be taken to provide a proper water supply. He also suggested that to the questions put by Dr. Canthie be added 'What is the cause of the present contamination so far in excess of the ordinary contamination from rain-fall Something evidently had gone wrong and the feeling was that the greater part of the water was run out and some measures taken for clean. ing out the reservoir before there was any adequate supply of water in the Colony,
The Surveyor-General said he did not think he was called upon to answer that question.
Mr. Francis said the Board was not entitled to put it, but he thought the Surveyor General had agreed to give all information and it was a question that eminently concerned the public.
The President said he did not think the public cared how it took place. All they wanted to know was when they were to get clean water.
Mr.. Francis said that was an extremely pleasant way of slurring over blanders.
The President The question is when it is to be remedied. If anybody wants to make any attack on a public department, I do not think this is the place.
Mr. Francia-The sooner, the Board is put an end to the better, then,
it.
The President-If so, you had better propose It was agreed to adjourn the discussion to next week, in order to allow the Surveyor General time to reply to Dr, Cantlic's question.

Hongkong,
SIR-I beg to call your attention to the fct, that during the greater portion of the last three months the sole water-supply to the houses along the Caine Road and vicinity, including my residence, has been a brown liquid which may by courtesy be called 'water,' but might certainly be more aptly described as a strong decoction of mad. It is unnecessary to point out to Sanitary Engineer that such a supply is totally unfit for drinking purposes, and even for ordinary household use is most unsuitable, and as cleansing agent practically useless..
Hitherto I have made no complaint, under- standing that certain improvements were being carried out at the Pokfulam reservoir, but the matter is now becoming serious, and is not a mere personal inconvenience but a public dap- ger. I venture therefore to hope that you will give it your early and earnest consideration.-I am, Sir, your, obedient servant,

In order to work these alluvial deposits, skilled mining engineers were brought out from home, expensive machinery pumps and what not, no doubt to work on the most scientific principles. What was the result? Utter failure, and on very rich tin land. And how do we know that the land was so good? Simply because it was bought for a mere song. by a Chinaman, who worked it on the principle generally in vogue in the States, with the resul
that he is a millionaire.
A ton has to fight hard with himself to publicly admit that he is wrong, or has wrongest others, but should the report of the first year's working of the Jelebu Tin Miring and Trading: Company justify such, I am sure the sporting Editor will be the first to come forward like it man to acknowledge that he has unnecessarily. and without reason, run down and endeavourer to ridicule n band fide concern and those connected with it."

(DR. HARTIGAN TO THE SECRETARY OF

Hongkong, May 22nd, 1889.. H. MacCallum, Esq, Secretary, Sanitáry Board. SIR,-1 have the honor to request that you will lay the accompanying correspondence before their the members of the Sanitary Board, meeting this day. The subject of water-supply is one of such acknowledged importance that i have no hesitation in asking the Board to give it their best attention, and to urge most strongly on the Government the absolute necessity of taking immediate steps to remedy to crying an evil as this correspondence discloses. No public company would be permitted by the Government to distribute water to the inhabitants of the United Kingdom such as is now being supplied by authority' from the Reservoir at Pokfulam A remedy can be found, the application may entall some trouble, but certainly presents no insuperable difficulty. My question to the Surveyor General, to which I have got no satisfactory answer, is: Are we to be sup plied for an indefinite period with filthy water! If the Pokfulam supply cannot be improved quickly (and six months is, 1 believe the time mentioned), the Tytam water can be temporarily distributed by junction with the existing mains or in other such manner as engineers can suggest. For those on levels higher than Tytam can supply, provisional means for filtering the comparatively small quantity of Pokfulam water, required might be adopted.
The Government are responsible for its present disgraceful condition, They should be called upon to provide a remedy. A strong resolution to this effect, emanating from the only Sanitary anthority in the Colony, will, even if ignored by the Government, encourage long-suffering con- sumers to persevere in their efforts for redress, and strengthen the position of their representa- tives when advocating their claims in Council. | −1 am &c.,

whom wo have no difficulty in identifying as Under the above heading a correspondent, Mr. William Dunman, chief promoter of the lately, established Jelebu Mining and Trading Company, Limited, sends some comthents to the Singapore Straits Times on our criticism of this so-called trading enterprise. We will give our readers an opportunity of carefully masti- eating Mr. Dunman's opinions, and since that excellent young man has thrown down the gage of defiance, we promise at the first opportunity to honestly traverse the justification he has evidently been at very great pains to place before his friends. Here is Mr. Dunman's contribution to the newspaper literature of the Straits Settlements :-----
..
desi nu inner room at the Seamen's Club
Mr. D. M. Wright stated that the subscriptions to the new institution already amounted to $562 (applause), and, at the request of the Chairman, read the proposed design and constitution of the New Seamen's Club as follows
That the institution, which shall be open to All foreigners of the Naval and Mercantile Marine of all nations, be called, "The New Seamen's Club."
2-That the design of the Club is to furnish scamen with a respectable place of resort when on shore in which rational refreshments, in- cluding beer and porter, but no spirits, will be procurable.
3-That the working of the Club be entrusted to a Committee of, not less than 3 or more than 5 members of the Community, who shall be directly responsible to the resident Community of Amoy such Committee to be elected yearly at a General Meeting of the Community to be held every January, when the retiring Com mittee shall present their Report and Accounts for the past year.
4.That the Captains of such men-of-war as may call at this Port, be asked to arrange with petly officers and crews of their ships, should they wish to avail themselves of the privileges of the Club, for the election of a Committed to keep order in the Club during the stay of their vessels in this Port.
5.That the Committee of the Club be empowered to draw up such rules and regulations for the conduct of the Club, as they may consider
necessary.
After some criticism as to the introduction of the word "New" into the title of the Club, the Chairman thought it would be better to adhere to the title proposed because they had not yet finished with the "Did" Seamen's Club and the so-called Trustees thereof,
The design and constitution were then put to

Mr. Wright stated that the list of original subscribers, sent to him by the so-called Trustees, seemed to be incomplete, as Mr. Wilson's name did not appear in it.
Dr. McDougall said that he had seen what he believed to be a complete list of original subscri. bors, in which Mr. Wilson's name did appear. Dr. McDougall went on to suggest that the design and constitution of the New Seamen's Club be registered in the British and American Consulates. Thin suggestion was put to the mecting and carried unanimously.

Mr. Graham proposed the following Com mittee-H. B. M. Gansul, the U. S., Consul, Messrs. Marshall, Lewis, and D. M. Wright. These gentlemen weie unanimously elected, and Dr. McDougall then proposed that the German Consul's name, and that of the senior naval officer's in port, be added to the Committee, which was done. As this entailed a slight altera- tion in rule 3, Mr. Wright proposed that that rule read as follows: That the working of the Club be entrusted to a Committee of not less than 5 or more than. 7, &c, &c. This alteration was approved of hy the meeting.
Mr. Hughes wished to suggest that further steps should not be taken with regard to a new building, &c., for the Club, until it was ascer- tained if they could, not obtain the old premises.
The Chairman explained that the new build- ing had only been taken temporarily, and that the Club could easily be shifted into its old quarters whenever they were obtainable."
The meeting closed with the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman.
On Wednesday night a few members of the community assisted by some of the officers of H.M.S. Leander and Rattler gave a variety entertainment which was very good, especially a topical song-"Says Moses to Aaron,"
The "New Seamen's Club” was opened on Wednesday, and the crew of the Leander appear. to appreciate it, as they can get refreshments at reasonable figures. The club has several rooms which have been portioned off as a bar, dining room, reading room, bed-rooms, etc. Rules and a scale of charges have been published. I forgot to mention that there has been nearly $600 subscribed for the new building, and the minstrel troupe of H.M.S. Leander are going to give a performance for the benefit of the New Seamen's Club.
