CORRESPONDENCE.

WHO IS TO BLAME ?
TO THE KAITOR of the "Honɑrana TELEGRAFE," SIR,-List Monday I proceeded to Chinese Kowloon by 'steam launch to pay a visit to relative there, bu, on coming back I decided to have a walk to Hangham and Talm-11-izni, and set out walking. I passed the Chinese Customs bunicade at a quick pace. The road between the barrierde and Hangham. Station Is In a very bad condtion; li is worse than it was 15 years ago. This leads one to suppose that the villages there have nothing to pay as taxes to the Britab Government, otherwise surely the roads could not be left in such a state. They are no better than roads in corrupt Chian. If the Ballsh Government doesn't intend to repair roads referred to, I ask that you will be so kind as to infarm some Benevolent Society, asking 11 to send ont sobicription lists for faeds to pai the roads in good order, for which the villages will be greatly obliged as well as others who use the roads.
When I reached Hünghim, I was gled to wee the plice is much Improved. I rolled through the little town, bat by chance I came upon filthy public Latrine. How Is it there is no Sanitary Board or a sub-Sanitary Board 10 lospect and keep in order the Latine? 1 assaic you Hungbam and the frontier villager will cute trouble to Hongkong if not better looked after.
I trust, sir, you will do a kindness in the denizens of Houngham and the frontier villag: as well as to your fallow-cliizens by calling atten tion to these matters, for some department masi be at fault,

THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION. ·· TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Honakomo Tessonaru," SIR,-The order issued by the Captain Soper Intendent of Police, and the correspondence is has called forth in your paper, and in the Daty Press, respecting the reservation of por tions of the public highways far certain privi leged persons, serving no other purpose, at least demonstrates to the world that in this small portion of Her Majesty's possessions there is still larking a trace of autocracy incompatible with the age we live in and the best traditions of consiliational Government
In a Nattousl and ontque celebration like the present, when all classes and races of Her Majesty's subjects and foreigners residing under the "Flag of Freedom hive vied with each piber in subscribi g to do honour to the occa sin, it seem a pity that such falvidious Blatfactions of race and creed should have been considered advisable. There are many highly respeciable subject of Her Maj:sty, and other foreigners, excluded from entering these sacred precincts of a would-be impertum in imperto by this offensive order, who would in bowlin contaminate the chosen few, and the mast graceful way to avoid disboncuring our august Sovereign would be concells, for she would
be the list to sanction such a decree.
I have visfied many parts of the Briilsh Empire, but have never yet heard of the Qaven's highway being reserved for the selfish plesaoras ola.privileged few. It is a shame.
