It has since come to my knowledge that quite recently the houses in Holy Infant Lane were limewashed. I am given to unders stand that there were no cases of plague previous to limewashing. Since then learn there have been several in this lane: Wherein is the benent of sewashing during an epide mic of plague?
Enclusing a notification of a case of plague which occurred to-day in the same lane.i

TIENTSIN, May, 15th,
I am sorry to find that my wire of the 'utth must have been stale news, as I see the matter was telegraphed from Wei-hai-wei to Shanghai on the 8th. It was only known here on the 11th, and I sent it off at once. The particulars only tie tath many rumours were current here, reached Peking the day before, I believe. On chlef among them being that the Chinese Regiment had mutinied. Since, this report has been contradicted, and I do not think matters have ically gone so far as that. Bot there is one very strong reason why they might I think much of the Board's time will be disband. They were not enrolled with any saved if 1 discuss Dr. Harston's letter in aider of fighting against their countryme minate, insteal of awaiting our next meeting and their families are scattered through In the first place it behoves the Boani to cou-

To consider therefore the premises upon which this theory is based by its advocate, we find in the fist instance that two cases of plague me cited, both nccnted twelve njonths ago, although ther' have been some 180 cases ¿` to date.
In one of these the discovery of a couple of rats dead of plague is admitted to have been the exciting cause of the disease. Where then is the cotihertion between the lanewalung "and the disease? Are to assume at dead

The other case any perhaps have been ef a similar nature, hat the facis given are so bak that it seems to the impossible to make any deduction from them. However the main plank upon which this theory seems to rest is that the cleansing and linewashing of the Wanchai Health District took place during ! January and February this year, and that immediately following this so had an outbreak of plagus in that district.

To save time and to cusure the fisture of some permanent line, this was agreed to by the British representatives. For some days the party pursued their labours in prace, until the suspicions of the British boundary Commis sioners were, aroused by gatherings of villagers, with whom the Chinese Commis sioners held meetings. These latter appeared to apprehend disturbances, and suggested the cessation of work, but although they were offered British protection they declin ed it. A climax was reached when villagers, apparently unarmed, gathered round the British escort, and seeing them unprepared, produced arms and rushed to attack them, shouting to and another to strike. The escort would assuredly have been murdered, but for the arrival of British reinforcements under Col. Bower. As it was, Major Penrose and four men were wounded, 30. Chinese killed. Next ning the Chinese made an attack on Major Watson- camp
near the quarters of the Chinese Commissioners, but were beaten off by the Chinese regiment under Col. Bower. The behaviour of this regiment throughout has been excellent. The Chinese Commissioners, how, ever, are reported to be in the hands of the So much for generalities, but I have looked rioters, and the Commissioner of Wei-bai-wel much more closely into the matter and 1 attach has sent a relief force to rescue them; 2000 hereto a list of all the cases of plague which

An examination of the table will show that out of the ninety cases detailed thereip, there is such an interval only in one case. In all this other cases plague either occured before the limewashing, or at such, a long interval after wards that no medical man would contend that the cleansing bore any casual relationship to the outbreak of the disease.
In the first place let me point out that the cleansing and timewashing of that district took place in precisely the same mouth last year, and yet only thirteen cases of plague occurred in that district during the months of January April 1800 out of a total of 120 cases, while no less than 68 of these cases occurred in No. 2 Health District, where the lanewashing is not done until May and June,
In the face of these facts I fail to see how

te be reassuring. Sir Claude entered a strong protest against the Commissioners conduct, but I have art yet heard any results. Strong pretests are useless, Wo want a far more forcible argument. The situation in Peking is far more serious than foreigners generally suppose. Pro-foreign Chinese who are in a position to know, are continually warning foreigners that the present anti-foreign attitude of the Chinese Government is not a joke, but prehides a strong and determined effort shake off the foreign joke on the part of the Manchus. The Boxer movement is growing stronger and bolder in Peking and they are drilling within a stone's throw of the foreign Legations. The Empress Dowager and all her favourities are avowedly supporting them, as they believe their assistance will be of

How fur China is being supported in this theory by another Power, and encouraged in her anti-foreign attitude it is impossible to say. That attention will have to be turned io China ere leng is daily more evident. There will not be much longer, I fear, any possibility of shelving the matter, but it is to be feared that before then something tragic will have occurred. These, sonall tints and attacks are merely tentative tests as in what we will do. The Brooks affair passed off very easily from a Chinese standpoint, and a bigger thing has been attempted at Wei-hai-wei.

The total number of persons that may legally occupy these flours is found to be 3724 and the actual number of persona sleeping there was fpend to be 2.433. A small amount of over crowding of individual hours was detected, thus in one common lodging house there www an excess of len persons over the legal limit, in one other four there was an excess of g persons, and in three other floors an excess of
persons.

Suaschan igth May This afternoon a collision of a serious nature uccarred at Woosung between the British str firesmont, and a Chinese cruiser, resulting in what may be the closing of the only channel of approach to Shanghai. Very few details are known, except that the steamer was coming in under charge of Pilot Howard, and the cruiser, which has a ram, was going out when the collision occurred. The damage to the steamer was so extensive that she had to be beached to prevent her sinking, and she now lies across The stream blocking up the channel. If she is 37 not got off, the consequences to the port may be 112 very serious. ¦ The Grosment is -commanded 1925. by Capt. Fleetham, and this was her fitst 434 voyage to China.
