NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Police.
It does not say much for the security of life and property when a murder can take place in a thickly populated portion of a city and the criminal or criminals walk calmly off in broad daylight as though nothing out of the common had happened. Yet such an oc- currence took place yesterday at Wanchai, though, in this case the Police have made, an arrest, as recorded elsewhere. Undetected critnes have grown to be a great deal too common of late in the Colony and, if the reputation generally enjoyed by British possessions for peace and security is to be kept up in Hongkong, steps will have to be taken to repress lawlessness with a strong
hand.
That our Police Force is utterly inade- quate for the work thrown upon it is patent to the least observant. Take a stroll, even along the most frequented thoroughfares of the City, and it will be seen that the police men are few and far between, while in the outlying districts long distances may be traversed without a single guardian of the peace being encountered. Such a state of affairs amounts to nothing less than placing a premium on crime and, until our Police Force is very considerably increased, we may expect robbery and murder to flourish un checked in our midst. As a matter of fact the Police Force has not kept pace with the growth of the Colony. A few years back it may have been equal to the task imposed upon it, but the Colony has long since grown beyond its control and it is necessary that it should be placed upon a proper footing at once, before further disgraceful occurrences are allowed to take place
We suppose that that old bugbear Economy is at the bottom of it all, but to be economical in such matters is a foolish and mistaken
policy. A police force should be maintained, not at a strength sufficient to patrol the Colony in times of ordinary peace and quiet, but at a strength sufficient to allow of all emergen cies being coped with. At the present time we have a most unsettled state of affairs in the north, and robbery, pillage and murder are rife in the neighbouring provinces. Hence it is only to be expected that crime will be on the increase in the Colony and that bad characters will flock here from all parts of China to ply their nefarious trades. Therefore, at the present moment, we require a police force far above the strength_ordin- arily considered necessary for the Colony, yet no steps have been taken to put it on such a footing.
The Daily Mail says it cannot forget how the Spectator, at the beginning of the China- Japan War, spoke of an invasion of Japan by Chinese troops as a highly-probable and very feasible contingency, and finds fault with that journal for expressing the opinion that patriotism has no existence among Eastern Pepples, since though they might fight hearth and home as individuals, they have no solicitude for their country as
such.
It appears to us that our two Japanese contemporaries are taking the utterances of the Spectator as appylying directly to Japan, whereas that country is really but a very small part of the East, and taking into consideration the marvellous changes wrought there in government and even in national character, we can hardly put Japan in the same category as the Eastern countries, except for geographical considera tions. As to the China-Japan war, it is easy to be wise after the event, but we think now that if the rant of patriotism both amongst the Chinese leaders and people had not prevented united action on their part, that war would have had a very different ending, And China being a far larger part of the East than Japan, it is only fair to suppose that the Spectator's words" should be taken as applicable to events there. Where is the patriotism in China amongst its own people? Are not the leaders and governing classes all at loggerheads, each feathering his own nest, either by acting for or against the foreigner, as suits his purpose best? And do not the people appear to be utterly indifferent as to what happens to China as a whole, so long as their individual interests are not interfered with? We agree with the Spee. tater, if we may judge from events out here, that in the East, if anywhere; it is "every man for himself," and after that, the devil take the foreigner, if nothing can be squeez ed from him.
There is no doubt the Home papers are not always, nor can they well be, so well in. formed on local matters as people on the spot, but for that matter the Spectator is neither better nor worse than other English journals we have seen. Why have our Comtemporaries pitched upon this particular journal to reprobate ?

Longford, Esq., writes to the Government here, under date January 29th, that rinderpest war prevalent at that port and district, and though neither hatt yet been formally declared by the Imperial Government to be infected, cases were of frequent occurrence. THE moitality statistics for the Colony for the week ended 19th January show that the death- rate per thousand for the whole Colony, civil population, was 33-5 against 11. the previous week; land population, 201 against 163 the week before: boat population 16, the same as the week before; land and host population 19.5 against 16.2 the previous week: for the Colony, British, Foreign and Chinese, excluding the Army and the Navy 200 against. 16,1 tha previous week.
We regret to hear that inspector Scott, of the Hongkong Police Force, is unable to return to his duties here, and has severed his con- nection with the force. His health is not good, the weakness being connected with the lungs. Inspector Scott was one of the most energetic of our force, as is acknowledged by all who knew him, and he has recorded many good cases whilst he was here. It is a pity that the force has been deprived of so valuable and popular an officer.
A BAREFACED case of house robbery is reported as having taking place last night in Upper Lascar Row. Three men went up to No. 41, x dwelling house, armed with choppers. One
One of the latter seized the only occupant, a woman, by the throat, whilst the other ransacked her belongings.

THE murder at Wanchai yesterday was a . deliberate and probably well planned affair. The deceased occupier of the first floor of the House, 143 Queen's Road East, was employed at the Supreme Court, having been pensioned .off not long ago. He received three stabs in the body from a kind of dagger or knife. He was a known heavy drinker and was found by the police lying on his back on a bed. The man's

Anyone who remembers the Force as it was some ten years ago must notice a sad falling off in the standard of physical development of the men.

significant fact, too, that it has been found practically impossible to obtain men from the Home forces of late year, not, we are informed, on account of a lack of men at Home willing to improve their position, but on account of a prejudice which has grown up against service in the Hongkong Police. Force itself. Service in Hongkong is no longer sought after," and hence it has been found necessary to draft, men from the Marines and to engage them locally. This naturally leads to a class of men being ob tained who are untrained and inexperienced. The Marines, it is true, are a well drilled set, but they have to be taught the very first principles of police work. There must be some reason for this strong disinclination to join our local Police, and we think that no harm would be done were His Excellency the Governor to cause judicious enquiries to be made as to the cause of it. Needless to say, the men themselves would be the ones to throw light upon the subject.

men, ready for anything, where well on their way to the scene of the reported outbreak of fire. On reaching the spot, however, it was found that a flue liad caught fire in a lane in Queen's Road West, and the firemen with Chinese with all apparatus, returned to their posts, the affair being practically a "false alarm," though, of course, a chimney might exsily cause a big blaze if attention was not given to it.
THE fire which we referred to yesterday as having taken place at Chung Sha Wan was serious affair and the damage done is estimated at $50,000. It was caused by sparks from a cookhouse chimney setting fire to the matshed which adjoined it, in Tam Shibi Hang village in Chung Sha Wan. That set fire to some more. matsheds and the blaze ultimately, spread to the boatbuilding yard, which has suffered much damage. A steam launch was in course of con struction and was completely destroyed. One more launch and two small twin screw steamers in course of construction were partially burned. It broke out at 9.30 yesterday morning and the fire was eventually subdued by police from Yaumati and the Central Police Station, Mr. Bademeyer, in charge of the Brewery at Chung Sha Wan, assisted in extinguishing the flames with two manual engines. The yard was the property of Ngai Sun and Co, who have a place at Wanchai. The property is not covered by insurance, as, we understand, these exposed yards will not be accepted by the Insurance Companies.
