Chairman-This is purely a bookkeeping

ing and laying cable .....

Total.....$5,639.41 The chairman said he thought the honour. able members would pass this vote. The cable was a very necessary one and they were fortunate enough in securing the steamer of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, It was not laid. by contract and would have proved much more costly had they not been able to secure the service of this vessel.
.
The note was passed unanimously. In the next minute the Governor recom- mended the Council to vote Miscellaneous Works under the heading "Public Works, Annually Recurrent Expenditure" to meet the cost of increasing the height of the windows on the ground-floor of the Central Market in order to improve the natural lighting,
The Chairman-Complaints have been made that the Central Market is somewhat dark, aid it is hoped by this improvement that more light will be obtained.
•
Hon. C. P. Chater-I"think it will be a great improvement.
The vote was agreed to.
In the next minute the Governor recom mended the Council to vole a sum of $283.41, being amount, due to the Crown Agents for expenses incurred in connection with the selec tion of the three lightkeepers for Waglan Island Lighthouse.
The Chairman-As the honourable members doubtless know, the Government recently took over the Waglan Lighthouse from the Chinese Government, and in order to maintain. the Lighthouse properly it is necessary to have the services of three lighthouse-keepers. The sum asked for is in connection with the retaining
of such services.
The vote was agreed to.
But yesterday the port of Hongkong was the healthiest of all. Now lies she there and ocean tramps c'en shun hier stricken shore. Oh masters, if I were disposed to stir your hearts and minds on sanitary schemes, I should quote Chadwick's words and Clark's reports. Who, you all know, are bonourable unen. I will not quote their words, I rather choose to let you see and judge than will quote such oft repeated warnings.
But here's a paper with the seal of Chadwick; I found it in his office; 'tis a plan. Let but the Chinese hear this building scheme, which, pardon me, I do not mean to read, and they would go and burn down half Hong kong, yea rebuild houses оп Fung Wa Chun's plan and, dying, mention them within their wills, bequeathing them as a rich object lesson unto their offspring
*
You will compel me then to read this scheme, then make a ring about this bust of Chadwick and let me show you him who made the plan.

if you have drains prepare to, flush them now. You all do know this storm-drain. I re- menber the first time over Cooper laid it down. Twas many years ago now, in this street, when he had got his separate system passed. Look, in this place runs foul sewage water, see what a stench the recking sewage makes. Through here the plague-infested rodent creeps, and, as he drags his swollen form away, mark how the plague baccilli spread around, as rushing out of doors with firm resolve to spread disease throughout our filthy town. Bubonic plague, you know was Chadwick's bagbear; judge, oh ye Gods, how true were his predic tions. This was fulfillment of his warning plain. For when in '94 the plague came down, and men in thousands hit the bust and died, screaming in agony, his words come true, Then longkong's public woke, and, in its terror tried this means and that, razing some houses here, clearing a sewer there, said this must cease. Oh but stupidity was there my countrymen, for you and I and all of us fell down whilst blind, officials flourshed over us.
Oh now you wake, and I perceive you feel the need of sanitation. These are gracious words, kind seuls, what, weep you when you but hear our city's sewage talked of? Look you here, here are our slams, choked as you see with garbage.

The Reported Affrays at Tientsin.
Mr. H. Roberts asked whether, the Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs could make a statement with reference to the collision which took place at Tientsin on 2nd ulto. between British troops and French and German troops. Lord G. Hamilton, who replied, said: General Gaselee reported to me on 8th ulto. that the only information available, pending the receipt of proceedings of the Court of inquiry then sitting, was as follows:-Riot originated with French soldiers who resented the closing of a disorderly house by our military police. Casualties: British soldiers, five wounded; French, three killed and four wounded; Ger mans, three wounded; Japanese, two wounded. The day following General Gaselee telegraphed that the Court of inquiry proved that the police acted with commendable forbearance, and only fired on the mob when compelled to do so in self-defence; that large numbers of soldiers joined the French, but that the German police behaved well, assisting our police by endeavour ing to get their own men to disperse. Valuable support was also given by the Japanese guard. General Gaselee also states that all is now, quiet.
"the people outside." Were it not for the necessity of finding employment for esurient Civilians and cadets, and supplying a Legis. lative Council with the needful officialma jority, the Hongkong Government, as a Co- lonia Office concern, might wash itself out with great benefit to Hongkong. To deal with matters political the Governor, the Colonial Secretary and the Registrar of Chinese, with the needful clerical establishments would The Courts and the require to continue. Shipping Office of course would carry on. But executive control over the whole town, as a town, should be carried out by a Municipal Commission, with a certain official representa tion. Lighting, water, drainage, buildings, roads, bridges, and sanitation generally, should be looked after by departmental staffs subject to the Municipal Commission. Scrutator did great service, in his valuable indictment, in the Hongkong Daily Press, of the rattenness of the Government control of that papu lous town, and unquestionably made good his plea for the institution of a Hongkong Municipality. The China Matt was not quite sure that the right men could be got to serve, but was in principle at one with its contem- porary on the urgency of municipal reformo through the creation of municipal institutions.

That duty is at present carried on by the Hongkong Govern- ment, for the very obvious reason that, without it, there would be little or no work for it to do. And that position of things is enough to account for endless urban mismanagement, and the present unfortunate condition of public health in Hongkong.

Post Office Packet Service.
June 71b. On the vote to complete the sum of £781,085 forthe expenses of the Post Office packet ser- vice, Mr. Dillon raised the question of the accommodation provided for lascar'seamen on the P. and O. steamships. He said that the Home Secretary, when President of the Board be compelled to observe the law in this matter, of Trade, promised that the company should and he wished to know what had been done.
Mr. Austen Chamberlain said there was an action now being brought by the Board of Trade against the P. and O. Company, and while it was pending it was impossible to discuss the question.
Mr. Henniker Heaton contended that the whole of the Packet. Vote should not be charged to the Post Office, and particularly objected to the sum of £60,000, for the mail service from Vancouver to Hongkong.
