The whole affair illustrates the absurdity of the terms of the Convention, hastily patched up between the British Minister at Peking and the Chinese-Authorities, for the cession of the New Territory. It is a most carelessly drawn document, prepared without any knowledge of the localities, or of the circumstances, and without an atom of fore- sight. The whole of the shores of Mirs Bay to, at least, the summits of the hills skirting the Bay should have been included in the original concession, and when the mistake had been corrected by the seizure of Sani- ritory so taken possession of should never Chuu and the surrounding country the ter-

The lower Tram Station is in a satis factory condition, but it is not kept quite as neat and as clean as it ought to be in respect of some of its adjuncts. There seems to be no one in charge of it, and the Water Authority would, probably, if he looked closely find water running to waste somewhere about there. The other stations on the line are not by any means so satis- factory. The Plantation Road Station is, for every second, tram, a source of grave discomfort and even of danger to anyone who has to alight there. The line at that point is at a sharp slope and passengers have to cross the other rope and the other rail. The station is not properly lighted and in the dark there is considerable danger of missing one's footing. None of the Stations are roofed over and in wet weather to get in or out is to get wet through. We have no hesitation in saying that the accommodation at intermediate stations on the line is very imperfect and that it is time something was done to improve it. Level stopping places, platforms on both sides, effectual shelter from the rain when entering and leaving the cars and better lighting of the Stations would pay, we believe.

A letter was tabled which the Secretary had purchase of 600 rat traps to be distributed received from Dr. Atkinson advising the through the Colony, as he was convinced that rats were very instrumental in the dessemination of the Plague.
The letter was forwarded to the Medical Officer of Health for his opinion and he replied that any attempt to materially reduce the num ber of rats in such a City as this would be fuite. The attempt had been made in India but bad proved impracticable.
They had caught about 1,000 rats during the summer withtrapsand had distributed pamphlets asking the Chinese to do so but they did not appear to have responded to the appeal.
"It would require a number of coolies at $8.00 per month to attend to the traps and that expen diture would have to be sanctioned by the Government. The president, Dr. Atkinson, on receipt of this reply directed the Secretary to forward correspondence for the Col. Secretary's authority to engage the coolies for 3 months. The expenditure was sanctioned.
CREMATION OF HINDOOS.
The Cremation of Hindoos at the Happy Valley having been the cause of complaint a minute was received from the Hon. R. D. Ormsby suggesting that the indoo Cemetery should be used for that purpose.
The Medical Officer of Heath replied that the objections to this course were that there. was a difference of caste between those who are buried and those who are cremated and
also that it would cause a nuisance to the residents at Happy Retreat.
