The Lost Swamp, We do not think that any sensible man can fail to agree with the remarks made by Dr. 'HARTIGAN an official "obstructim and equivocation. Indeed, with réference to the aldrinus swamp at Kennedytown the principal bheial member of the Sanitary Board, Mr. ARMSTY, condemns himself and

of the Allies.'.
TOKYO, January 25th, In addition to the preliminary demands as set forth in the twelve articles forwarded by the powers to the Chinese Envoys, it is now stated that the allied troops will be withdrawn as soon as the demands are accepted by the Chinese, Government. The Chinese Envoys' demanded withdrawal of the allied troops when they sign. ed the protocols and requested a clearer de finition of some of the articles. Some of the powers are opposing this demand on the ground that the proper time for the willdrawal of the troops has not yet arrived. There is consequent- ly no hope that the Chinese demand will be demands are complied with.
NEws was received 'by, the Agents of Measrs, Butterfield and Swire at-Hankow that the Tungling was floated on the aşıb ult, and will soon arrive at Shanghai. It will be recollected that this unfortunate steamer went badly ashore acout ninety miles above Hankow, on the Tith of November, when an ber Arst trip op the river. The late heavy rains completely washed away the bank from under the steamer, which caused her to quietly slip off into deep water.

Mr. N. LAZARUS,

We have another little bit of advice to
offer to the D.P.W. and A.P.C.M.O., and Japan Seoks an Explanation from that is, that when they are sent agait to
report upon a certain spot it would be as well for them to make certain that they are reporting upon the particular place upon which a report
required. I would have saved a great deal of time and trouble had these two intelligent officers asked Dr. HARTIGAN to accompany them and point out-the swamp, but of this, of course, they never thought. Neither did it strike them that, as they hat failed to find it, the proper course would have been to have referred to Dr. HARTIGAN before writing their report. We throughtly agree with the Doctor that, "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
More Advice
It is not often that we have to teach a full fledged Bachelor of Arts and Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George his own language, but such, we regret to say, is our unfortunate duty to-day. The Vice President of the Sanitary Board, the Hon. F. H. MAY appears to be under the impression that the words LIAR and EQUIVOCATOR are synono- mous. That such is not the case we can better point out by giving the definit ions found in Webster LIAR is a person who knowingly utters falseliood;

something in extending their business on the
The Chairman:-Yes. The directors quite agree with you, that the demand for houses on that side would almost justify the entension by building. But at the present time some arrange- ment would be required with the tenants.
Mr. Reid-No I think there is some mis- understanding, as there was last time I spoke on the matter. I do not mean that you, should build on the tenants' grounds. But by extend- ing the business of the Company, it may be by raising more capital, you could buy more land in Kowloon and build more houses. What I say is that there is the demand for more houses at Kowloon, and if the Company was to exterid- its business, there would would be an increase on the income from the houses on that side.
The Chairman: There is the question of starting fresh. building operations before the directors and the matter will be given every consideration.
