The Government, as he very well knows can pass any resolution in Hongkong, and carry it out, that it chooses, in spite of any opposition, and if the Go- verniment had measures in hand which they knew were for the public good, it only shows they are too slack and indifferent not to have carried out their plans in spite of opposition.

EVEN the Central Police Station is taking time by the forelock and having a thorough spring clean on account of the plague epidemic. The Charge Room was having a fresh coat of whitewash yesterday although it was apparently perfectly clean before. The Police Stations are always bright spots as regards cleanliness. NOTHING but long, faces are met with an Queen's Road amongst the local merchants. The trouble up north caused a momentary influx of new business and consequently the indent- ing of large stocks from Europe. These goods are now coming to hand and in spite of severe cutting in prices cannot rendily be disposed of We hear that the dredger St. Enoch, which arrived here the other day from Wei-hal wel, is to be taken over by the contractors for the Naval Yard Extension to take the place of the unfortunate Canton, Rizer, which still lies snugly berthed at the bottom of the harbour: It is to be haped that the St. Enoch will prove to be a more lucky boat than her sister.
WE note in Shanghai papers that ala special sitting of the Supreme Court held on the 28th ultimo, His Honour Chief Justice Wilkinson presiding, Sir William Neville Montgomery Geary, Bart, was enrolled to practise as a bar. rister in the Supreme Court for China and Korea. Sir William, as will be remembered, was lately admitted to practise in Hongkong. THE contractors in the building line in Hong Kong are finding great difficulty in securing the services of properly trained artizans. New buildings are going up on all sides and the wily Chinaman is not slow in shipping off to other purts if a little more in the way of wages can be secured. The coast ports are almost
depicted of desirable labour owing to the con-
stant migration.
Ir may be noticed that we are publishing a gazette of interest to the shipping community generally, giving the names of officers on leave, promotions, transfers. etc. We imagine it will be found useful by many shipping people here, who can see at a glance where their friends are at the time. We shall be much obliged for any information from our readers tending to keep the column up to date.
THE Tung Wah Hospital Authorities are issuing a series of very realistic pictures shew- ing the straits to which the people in Shensi are being put by the famine. The pictures show the foxes coming into the villages, villagers dying of starvation and selling their children for a few strings of cash, and one very gruesome one shows these same children being butchered and sold for human food.
IT is rumoured that the Government are con templating the advisability of ordering the whole of the large block of buildings now in
course of erection at the Eastern end of Elgin Road, Kowloon, to be pulled down. Several collapses have taken place in this block and the Western wail shows signs of serious bulging and a big crack has appeared in it. There are many other buildings now being chucked to- gether (building is too good a term to use) which certainly deserve the same fate, MR. ALFRED STEAD, son of the Editor of the Review of Revierus, who' was lately in Hawaii, was asked, says the Hawatian Garette concerning the suppression of the Review of Reviews in South Africa, and especially in the British possessions, on account of its political attitude toward the ministry Mr. Stead said that his father pursued an edi- torial policy upon the merits of the war which caused the powers that be to take measures to prevent its utterances from finding a voice in the south of Africa. Mr. Stead says the sup- pression of the monthly is only theoretical. His father took the stand that the war was use-

The Krüger, element was in the minority, but according to the method of representation in vogue they had the controlling vote on all measures, and by this means Krüger was able to engage in war with England. W. T. Stead has clung to his policy of declaring that the ministry plunged Great Britain into a useless and expensive war and for that reason his magazine, together with Reynold's Newspaper and Labouchere's Truth, have all fallen under

BY THE WAY.
The Biter Bit.
It is quite refreshing to see the biter bitten now and again, as was the case yesterday when the Chinese detective was fined for, assaulting an Excise Officer, and the Chinaman had his story off by heart so glibly, 100, and even brought a pair of muddy trousers into Court to show how he had been kicked. There is often a deal of hard swearing where Chinese are concerned and it is just as well that they should be bowled out now and again.

Does it not seem to you, Mr. Edi. Perjury. tor, that there has been a wave of perjury passing over the Colony of late? Take the Vitriol case for instance. Must not the Chinaman who accused Allen have been tying pretty freely? If so, is it not the duty of somebody to bring him to book for it? In all probability too, there were many taradiddles flying about in the Mills case. Surely it would pay to bring some of these accomplished liars to punishment! They must lie deliberately and with the intention of bringing innocent folk into trouble and they should be made an ex ample of I would suggest whipping

The statue has been placed in position to the S. E. of the Queen's statue, in what will eventually be the public garden facing the New Law Courts. It is at present boarded up in a matshed and 1 am unable even to make a guess at when the unveiling ceremony is likely to take place.

It seems to me, Mr. Editor, that Advice. some of our Sanitary Board officials
might read the parable about the mote and the beam with advantage. Why, for instance, did Mr. May, the irrepressible, inform Mr. Osborne that he didn't know anything about our separate drainage system? Does Mr. May know anything about it himself? -1 know that he is a BA, a CM.G., and a Captain Superintendent of Police, and also that he was once a Government Cadet, but none of these qualifications stamp him as a drainage expert, At least, to my mind. At the meeting of the Sanitary Board there were drainage the ones to sit upon Mr. Osborne if he required experts present and these should have been it. Truly, it requires a wise man to know when to hold his tongue.

THE DUMPING OF BODIES IN THE STREETS.
To mi otras or pre "Hongkong Telegram” DEAR SIR,I was disgusted and astonished to see you actually supported Q.E.F. in his in- famous proposal for the burning of all bodies. found in the streets. How would Europeans like it if the Chinese proposed to desecrate » their dead? It is such proposals as this that, turn the Chinese against us and drive them to regard us as "foreign devils." I venture to say that were such a course adopted the whole of the Chinese population would rise in their wrath and protest against this inhuman treat- ment of their dead.
Trusting that you will withdraw your support of Q.E.F's. barbarous suggestion,

If they cast their dead in the street like.so much refuse, they evidently are not very sensitive about them, and burning is the cleanest and best way to get rid of a dead body.

MODEL DWELLINGS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Hosgrens TalkorAFI1,"-. DEAR MR. EDITOR,—You are quite right in your condemnation of the class of Chinese houses which are at present being erected all over the Colony, with their great lack of window space and ventilation. Undoubtedly these in- sanitary buildings have a great deal to do with the prevalence of plague and steps should be taken inmediately to stop the erection of others of a similar type.

So far as I can see the Hongkong landlord. utterly callous as to the sanitary state of his property so long as he fills his pockets, and if once his pocket can be touched things will mend: Could not the Sanitary Board be pre vailed upon to close up a good proportion of the more insanitary buildings in which plague cases have occurred? If they were forced to stand empty for a lew months, I fancy the landlords would soon see that it was to their advantage to
keep the places in a proper state. The tenants cannot be expected to bring pressure to bear on the landlords in the present state of affairs, for they are entirely at their mercy. Men mast live somewhere and hence the most tumbledown hovels are eagerly snapped up and bigh rents paid for them.
Make the landlord suffer whenever his pro party is allowed to get into a bad slate, and you. will soon get sanitary buildings.
Truly yours,
