THE GREEN ISLAND CEMENT
COMPANY LIMITED,
The following is the repon for presentation to the shareholders at the twelfth ordinary general meeting to be held at the office of the General Managers on Saturday, 13th April, 1901, at 11 o'clock a.m. ---
Annexed we have the pleasure to lay before shareholders a statement of Accounts made up to 31st December 1900.
The net profit, including the amount brought forward from the previous year, amounts to $82,896.57 which it is proposed to deal with as follows, viz :-
To place to Reserve Fund......... $812.50 To pay a Dividend of 8 per cent. 79,843.20 To carry forward to next year's
account
2,240.87
The profit on working is considerably larger than that of last year but, in order to introduce the brand to new markets and to find an outlet for our increased production, lower prices had to be accepted at first, in consequence of which the average price obtained per barrel was rather less than what we may expect in future when our cement has become firmly established anthose markets. In accordance with a Special Resolution passed on 12th April last, the paid up Capital of the Company was raised to $1,000,000 but the benefit of this increase has not yet made itself felt owing to the great. delay and loss of time experienced in having the necessary additional machinery made a home. The Brick and Tile Works at Deep Water Bay, we are glad to say still continue to leave a good profit on their original cost to the Company.

EXPEDITION AGAINST ROBBERS / (From Our Own Corrispondent.)
Ganton, April-18=-
Li Ka Cheuk with a band of soldien has genr to the San Ui district to hunt down the robbers there. Large bands of robbers have heen at work in the district for some months. Sume villages have taken the plan of buying them off. The lenders of the bands agree for a certain sum to guarantee any village im- munity from attack. Other villages refited to make any terms with the robbers and as they could secure protection from the local officials a request was made to the officials at
Canton for help. As soon as it was ascertained that soldiers were on the way from Canton there was a hasty departure on the part of many of the ruffians to other parts.
PLAGUE.
4
From different sources it is; reported that plaque has broken out in the Sai Kwan or western part of the city. A trip through that part of the town slowed a number of houses in which persons had recently died, but the people in the streets deny, that plague caused the deaths.
TIGER MEAT.
A small tiger was brought into, the city yes- terday and hung up in a moat market on 17th Street. A crowd of people gathered about the shop, each eager to secure a piece of the
meat. The price charged was ten cents an ounce and judging by the rash made to be served, an hour or two would suffice to dispose of the whole carcass.
THE NEW WHARF.
Some bitch has occurred in the arrange- ments for building the new wharf. All work has been stopped, and it is said that the street elders have succeeded in their efforts to pre- vent the completion of the work.
SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Last night an attempt was made to rob a house in the vicinity of Kwong Tap. Late in the night some one knocked on the door of a large house in that neighbourhood. One of the lumates asked what was wanted. The reply was that there was a message from the yanên. The door was then opened and in mediately the robber drew a revolver and fired. The bullet struck the man who opened the door in the arm, passed through it, and lodged The alarm was at once given, the guard turned out and the robbers made off. To-day Dr. Swan was called in to see the wounded men, and extracted the bullet.

NA MEDICAL TRADES UNION
BANGKOK DOCTORS COMBINE. Bangkok is felicitously situated, inasmuch as that it has nearly always got something to fass about. Its latest grievance, says the Straits Times, is a Doctors Association, which appears to have been organised with the joint object of raising the rates of fees and collecting bills that have been left too long outstanding. It is not for us in Singapore to pass 'rash judg. ment on our brethren in the Siamese capital, not yet to carp or cavit, or too hastily, and may hay erroneously, infer their motives; but the general spitit of indignation that has been aroused by the latest uncharitable move on
the part of the Medicos would justify the pet sumption, by a stranger, that promptitude in payment was not one of the most abasing viccs that beset the average patient of Bangkok The actual fees (charged are not quoted in the account of the trouble that has reached us; but, of course, doctor's fees vary according to the presumed means of the patient. Under the rules of the New Association, however, the charge for a visit to a patient's residence is double the fee charged for simple consultation at the physician's office. This is disapproved
of by the Bangkok public-sick and well alike. The other objectionable innovation is a "black list," on which the doctors post the names of patients who have failed to settle their bills within six months of presentation. This list is kept with the Secretary of the Associa tion. By its provisions, each member of the Association pledges himself to furnish the Secretary from time to time with a list of such delinquents; and "Any member of the Associa tion knowingly visiting a patient who will not pay his bills, his act shall be deemed prejudicial to the interests of the profession. On the head of these two alleged grievances against the doctors, it is said that a number of Eve- opean firms in Bangkok are seriously contem- plating a self-defensive combination of their own, and intend bringing out a medical man from home, under an agreement that he remain strictly a "non-union practitioner.

CHRONICLES OF THE TOUR.
It is noted in the home press that the list of the members of the suite of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall on their Colonial tour, suggests that the official chronicles of the voyage of the Ophir will not be without artistic and literary merit. Chevalier do Martino was," for many years, "marine painter" to the late Queen, and though there are scores of English artists who get more of the sea on 10 canvas, there are few who have more intimate know ledge of nautical technique. Ha excels in preity and such as Queen Victoria loved. With him carred water-colour drawings

Another name to be noted is that of Chaplain; but it is open to suspicion that the Canon Dalton who figures on the list as Canon will combine literary duties with his ecclesiastical ones. He was the Duke of Com wall's tutor, and accompanied him on the cruise of H.M.S. Bacchanie, which he des cribed in a popular volume. One may real assured, therefore, that the voyage of the Optir will be recorded by the same able and dis
creet pen.

Milton's Bible Sold for £225, The important dispersal of valuable libraries which has been going on recently at Sotheby's ended with the sale of the most interesting rarity in all the big catalogue. This was Milton's Bible. It was of great value apart from its ownership, for it was the Geneva version in black letter, dated 1588; the title to the Old Testament was inlaid, the boards were old oak covered with stamped leather, and above all, it bore the signature, John Milton, Feb. 24: 1654," on a piece of rough paper pasted inside the front cover. Under this were written the names of several of Milton's re- latives, and on the fly-leaf at the end there was the name of "Elizabeth, Minshul} " (afterwards Millon's third wife), and the following
