We do not necessarily endorse the opinions expressed by Correspondents hit this column.)
THE DUMPING OF BODIES, « Tа The Exoro, rmososo "È Eurorapit," DEAR SIR,It is all very well for Q.E.F, to suggest the cremation of all plague corpses found dumped in the streets, but how is he going to cremate them? We have no crématorium here yet, although Dr. Clark recommended the establishment of one so far back as September 1898, if Lam not mistaken. 1 am perfectly at one with QE.F. as regards the necessity for adopting some drastic mea sures to prevent the dumping of bodies, buil do not see how fifteen to twenty bodies a day cremated without a could be crematorians. I may mention that the few bodies of Hindoos which are now cremated near Morrison Hill prove a nuisance to the neigh bourhood, and for my own part, I would be inclined to suggest laking the bodies well atit 10 sea and dumping them overboard. It is a great pity that we have no vultures here. Had we those useful birds all plague bodies found in, the streets could be put on Channel Rocks or one of the outlying islands and their bones would be picked cleat in a few hours.
Cannot somebody be found to bring forward some suggestion for the disposal of these bodies that would be horribly repugnant to the Chi nese? Let this be done in the Council or the Sanitary Board and f, think that an end would be put to the dumping at once.
Jam thoroughly disgusted with the way in in which the Chinese Members of the Sanitary Board and Legislative Council are allowed to oppose every sanitary measure proposed. This directly encourages their countrymen to resist the Sanitary Authorities. As for those sickly sentimental Europeans who support them, the sooner they take, oui Chinese naturalization papers and grow queues the better it will please,

To the Entón or "Hasentong "Emirerarh
DEAR SIR,Your correspondent Disgusted is a young man. He seems to consider it a form of respect for the dead to dump the body into the street, leaving it to be buried at other people's expense in a nameless grave, or, as in a case brought to the police court the other day of a man clearing out of a libuse with all his belongings, leaving behind the corpse of a woman deart from plague.
If this custom of dumping plague corpses to the imminent danger of the living be respect, or something of a very different name, it should be prohibited by every pussible means, even if we have to strike at the two vulnerable points of a Chinese non, that is his pocket and his superstitions. So with regard to these respecters of the dumped body, une them if they can be traced, and burn the body.
It will be time enough for Mr. Disgusted to talk about desecrating European dead when they begin to drop them into the streets fo escape the ordinary expenses of a funeral and also to prevent their houses being put into a cleanly state.
The report at the Central Police Station was eighteen bodies clumped in the streets on Saturday night, so if we take it at the law average of five persons cognisant of each body being no got rid of, we have ninety Chinese showing their peculiar form of respect for their dead friends and relatives.
Under the circumstance, Mr. Editor, will you allow are to change my former signature

SIR, I should like to know what our Author ities are about. Yesterday I nearly had my eye knocked out by a splitter from a chunk of granite which a Chinaman was chipping on the footpath without any screen put up for the protection of passers by, whatever. Policemen were constantly passing along and taking no notice whatever of this dangerous nuisance. Why is such a thing allowed to occur in a Bri-. tish Colony?

The new N. Y. K. steamer Hidaka Maru built at the Kawasaki Dockyard for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, was launched this morning, says the Kobe Herald of the 22nd ult. DETAILS OF THE NEW GUINEA The launch, was carried out very successfully in every respect. Subsequently a large.com- pany of invited guests were entertained in the foundry building of the yard, where a few ap- propriate speeches were made.
The inuncli was fixed for 9 a.m. and at that hour-there was a large-gathering' of guests on the platform, erected, as usual at the bows of the new vessel.
The vessel left the ways at 9.20, Miss Kato, daughter of Mr. Kato, Vice-President of the N.V.K. performing the usual ceremony. The vessel was decked with greenery and other adornment. She took the water very prettily and her successful launch was attended by round of clicaring and band music. The cus- tomary distribution of mochi among the Japaa ese workmen then took place and the guests re- assembled in the foundry Sheds, where several speeches by prominent Japanese gentlemen were made. The dimensions of the Hidaka fazu, are as follows: length 180 feel; beam 26 feet 4 inches; depth 20 feet 8 inches; draught 13 feet; displacement, 1,100 tons. The engines are of the wiple expansion type of 700 h.p. She will have a speed of 11 knots.

the Associated Press in London, that they did not fear that anything serious would develop from the bank failures in Japan. They said. that the majority of the banks involved were very small concerns, with a capital of no more, than £5,000 or £6,000 apiece. Some trouble has been expected for a long time, owing the stringency of money in Japan. In the opinion of those quoted, this is entirely due to the present balance of trade being so much against Japan, the imports greatly exceeding the exports. Some relief is hoped from the additional taxation authorised by the new Japanese Government. Com- mercial crises in Japan and Russia alike tend towards peace between those nations by straiten. ing their resources. That of Russia is the more severe, as whole provinces are reverting to barrenness, hundreds offactories have closed, and only fear of the army and Siberia prevents one of the worst of revolutions. Japan's troubles are, it is believed, rather temporary than permanent, though sufficiently serious.

measures. We learn that since the death of one of their men, which we reported the other day, all who were brought into contact with the deceased in any way have been segregated and placed under observation, and the man's quarters have been thoroughly fumigated and cleansed. We think it a great pity that our Sanitary Authorities are unable to practise segregation so far as the Chinese are con- cerned, for certainly a large amount of infection must be spread by the inmates of a house in which a plague case has occurred when, as at present, they are allowed to move about the town wheresoever they please..

MURDERS,
Australian papers state that on Sunday moming the party, including about 30 of the crew, had pitched their tent on the island, when one of the natiyes reported that the cannibals were coming down to make an attack. Little notice was taken of, this warning, and five minutes.fater the tent was lifted from all sides, and fully son spears thrown at the occupants. Mr. Caro, the secretary, received five spears, and died immediately. The owner of the yacht, Mr. Mencke, was struck by three spears, and mortally wounded. He died two days later. The leader of the expedition, Dr. Heinroth, killed a cannibal with the last shot in his revolver, and just escaped being speared.. Altogether fourteen of the cannibals were killed by the yacht's party, and the remainder of the savages-numbering fully 100-then fled to the bush. The Eberhard lost six men (natives), besides the owner of the yacht and his secretary Captain R. Ulinch, the master of the Eberhard, was formerly in the North German Lloyd service, being an officer of the mail steamer Munchen.
