The stapid and aureasonable obstinacy of the population of Tal-ping-sban on Saturday caused complete deadlock in the operations of the officia's, for the sanitary inspectors and their assistants were quite unable to enter the plague stricken houses. In several cases small crowds gathered, and a few stones were throws, though no Injury resulted.

A meeting was summoned yesterday (Sunday) at the Tung Wa hospital. Mr. Lau Wel Chan (chairman of the committee, and member of the Sanitary Board) presided, and there were also present Dr. Ayres (colonial surgeon), Mr. F. H. May (police superintendant), and about fear hundred Chinese, including about seventy lead. ing members of the community.

It was agreed to petition the Canton authorities to remove the prohibition against plague-stricken persons going to Cantor,

Mr. May spoke in reference to some of the (colish rumours current among the Chinese, and sald that if anyone cared to go with him he would show them that the persons who were carried away to the hospital by the officials, against the with of the ignorant people, were really sick, and were treated infinitely better than they could be elsewhere.

Complaint was made that the sanitary officers did not conduct themselves properly in making the house-to-house visits.

The meeting was abruptly broken up at this point by the Chairman being called away, as his hong, the Tang San Wo, Bonham Strand, was being attacked by a crowd, on the ground that instead of protec'ing his countrymen by virtue of his posi·lon he was playing into the foreigners' bands.

MB Lan Wel Chan on leaving the buildlug was hustled by the mob, and his chair was up. set. He had to rush back Indoors for shelter. Several arrests were made by the police on the spot, and Mr. May at once sent for a strong body of ladiso constables to clear the streets and enforce order..

A notice has been issued by the committee of the Tong Wa Hospital, and posted all over the town, which should do some good. It says that the Government has consented to allow all patients suffering from plague to be treated by the doctors of the Tung Weh Hospital; that arrangements have been made with the pro- paletors of the glass works at Kennedytown for the erection of a temporary native hospital on their land, and that all the patients will be treated there by Chinese doctors instead of being taken to the Hygeia or the Kennedytown.

THE PLAGUE IN HONGKONG.

The sanitary work is now being carried on satisfactorily, and there is no farther sign of trouble with the people.

The local authorlifes on the maloland.of China have published · proclamations forbidding Hongkong people to come over; but many go all the same. Four coolles went to Chinese Sam-gui-po on Saturday night, but having no friends there, they were relused admission into any of the dwellings. They accordingly took shelter in a limskip, where they were all found next morning dead from the plague.

A prisoner in Victoria. Gaol, committed on Saturday, developed symptoms of plague to-day and was removed to the Hygela. This is the first of the epidemic in the gaol.

A large and noisy deputation, consisting of about thirty prominen: Po Leung Kuk and Tung, Wa men, besleged the Registrar-General's office to day, about noon, deminding that the house-to-house visitations of the saultary officials be at once stopped, the compulsory segregations discontinued, the Government cleansing of the Tal-ping-shau pest-houses carried no further, and that in fact the Chiness be allowed

соре with their own epidemic is their own w27, without any European doctors or sanitary Inspectors or police or anybody interfering that the Government retire in favour of the Tung Wa and Po Leung Kak committees. The deputation had no particular leader, but every man was bis own spokesman. They palated out that the Chinese resented the lovasion of their homes by foreigners, and trouble bad already been caused's what they wanted was to have nothing to do with any but Chinese. If the native hospitals- the Tung Wa and the temporary branch at Kennedy town-were allowed to take all the cases, and deal with them in native style pare and simple, there would (according to the deputation) be no longer any healtation about reporting cares. But the Chinese would never go to the Hygeia nor the Government Hospital if they could help it, nor have any European doctors attending them, nor take European medicine, not allow Ecropeans in thelf homes cleanlog and disinfecting and rum- m ging about for new cases.

Mr. Stewart-Lockhart (Registrar-Gencial, Pro- tector of Chinese; and acting Colonial Secretary) said he would lay their views before the Governor; they need not go themselves to Government House, as some suggested.
