The Chairman. In moving the adoptios of the report, wald that it differed,lule from thất of last year. The amount from rools WẠI alightly larger than before, but the receipts from interest were less owing to having to provide funds for buildings. The profit-and-fous accounts were almost identical with inst❘ year's, Knutsford Terrace was fully occupied during the year and the new halldings near Lycemoon Pass were almost completed and would be ready for occupation by contract time. Affairs seemed to bs progressive on other side of the water, with better roads and improved ferry service, for which new. boats were shortly to be provided, and he had no doubt as to Kowloon maintaining its popt- Intity.

THE FOREIGN BANKS & JAPANESE HOLIDAYS.
YOKOHAMA, January 19th. We read in the Hocht Shimbun that the Hongkong and Shangbai Bank, the Chartered, and the other foreign banks In Yokohama, baving considered the propriety of observing the principal national boildays of Japan, have commanieated with their Roads of
rectors in Great Britain, and have oblilned the latter's approval. Hithin the custom bas been to take no notice of any Japanese festival except the Emperor's Birthday, on the 3rd of November, though the thdays of Occidental patentates have been duly observed. The Idea now, fr, if the Hocht be rightly Informed, to observe the great national festivals of Japan and neglect those of the West. Our contem- porary, adds that on the day when the Empress Denager's coffin leaves Tokia, and on the day of the interment in Kyoto (the 86 February), the Banks will do no buslarss-Fapan Mail.

The scheme bad its resi inception at the bler nial meeting of the International Statistical Institute, recently held at Berne, Switzerland.
