A SERIOUS HITCH IN TREATY REVISION.

Four days ago we applied to the Sanitary Board for information respecting the & prospect of this Colony being provided

some time before the end

of the world with the services of a veterinary surgeon. No reply was received but a Telegraph reporter was informed subsequently that the information must be obtained from headquarters. A note was therefore written and forwarded to the Colonial Secretary and to-day a reply was received stating that "Mr. LADDS IS · not expected back in the Colony until the end of October, as he is completing, with the permission of the Secretary of State, his study of bacteriology, in Paris and Berlin." We are glad to hear that Mr. LADDs is returning before the end of the year and that when he does come he will have completed his study of bacteriology at Paris and Berlin. It would, however, be interesting to know (a.) why a veterinary surgeon, was engaged for an Important colony. like Hongkong who had not, when- engaged, completed his studles and (5.) who "pays the piper" In respect of the finish- ing touches of his training in Paris and
