It is well-known, that Consuls interfere in "Cases" which are not missionary, though when we read the papers and hear lecturers we are led to infer that the missionary is the only person guilty of seeking the aid of the Consulin disputes with the Chinese. Yet if the facts were known it would be found that the majority of cases in which there is interierence, does not chine under the head of missionary." The following is a case in point. A landlord wished to evict a tenant but according to Chinese law das could not be done without the consent of the tenant. The house is wanted for, some doubtful purposes whereby,big money can be made. The landlord looks around for some foreigner who can help him out. A German is found to when the shop is mortgaged (tempo rarily) and the German Consul sends a notice to the tenant to move out within eight days or the local official will be called in to help him out. The case is not yet settled, but if the German Cons pushes the case there is little doubt but that the tenant will find it best to move quietly out. The tenant has, studied for. eign medicine and has a good practice, so that to leave the neighbourhood means a serious loss to him. Nor can he understand why the Ger purely Chinese.

at Nagasaki for ten days.. The reason is that she had a case of bubonic plague ahoard when she reached Woosung from. Hongkong on Saturday. The victim was a Chinese, travel ling steemge from Hongkong, who was ordered ashore at Woosung by Dr. Coy, the Customs doctor, and taken to the plague hospital at Bush Island. Specimens of his skin and particles of flesh were sent up to Dr. Stanley, the Health Officer, for bacteriological examin- ation, with the result that it was found to be an undoubted case of bubonic plague. At last accounts the man was still alive.
On arrival at Nagasaki on Sunday night of the Empress of China from Hongkong via Shang bai, the local sanitary officials, says the Press who boarded the vessel for the usual medical inspection of the passengers and crew, dis- covered two Chinese suspected to be suffering from some contagious disease. The patients were at once removed to the Isolation Hospital attached to the Quarantine Station at Megami, and the vessel, after being thoroughly disin fecled, was put into quarantine. The detention of the steamer was caused not only by the dis covery of the two patients, but also by the fact, that another Chinese passenger had been at tacked by plague before the vessels's arrival at Shanghai, where, the patient was landed for medical treatment. After the vessel's des parture for this port the case landed at Shang- hai was confirmed to be one of plague. For these reasons, the local officials regard the vessel as being infected by, plague, and she will be detained in quarantine for ten days at this port commencing from yesterday
