Would it not have been better far the Admiralty to have sent out experts to have looked into the question on the spot. Had this been done it would have been easy to have demonstrated the facts as we have put tliem above, and we think that the decision of the Home Authorities would have been different. But it is little use repining now. It is the system which is at fault, by which persons who have no local knowledge are allowed to decide questions of this nature.

THE POLICE AND THE
REPORTERS...
In most parts of the world newspaper re- as men who have a duty to perform to their porters are recognised by the police authorities employers, and indirectly the public are their employers. Captian May alleges they become possessed of their information in an improper. way. That they should not seek news from this official and that official. Why has Captain May by his actions rendered it necessary? A reporter's business is not to hamper the police by publishing matter prematurely and thereby perhaps enabling a wrongdoer lo es- cape justice. A little consideration shown by the Captain Superintendant, and Instructions" issued that matters of public interest should be. imparted by some official appointed, would do. away with much friction. What is now ob- tained as a condescention should, on behalf of the public, be demanded as a right.

THERE was a meeting of the Lion and Rose Lodge of the R.AO.B. held yesterday evening; a number of official positions were filled. It is a great pity that this old Society is not taken up and pushed along in better style in Hong- kong. But under the present regime the ut- most that can be expected is a slow death by decay. There is some talk of starting another Lodge and if this is undertaken by the proper people it should be a big success.

The government was all in the hands of the Americans and being ati Englishman, he had nothing to do with the subject. He had heard an American say that America must be driginal. In that case she couldn't profit by the experiences of cities willi Asiatic populations, and he had ng advice

The Naval Yard. According to Reuter, the scheme for transferring the Naval Yard establishment to the Kowloon side has been knocked on the head by the Admiralty, and the new extensions are to be carried out as originally Captain Roach, will be despatched for the designed.

We fancy that the Admiralty cannot have considered the matter as thoroughly as could be wished. Had they done so we believe that the Naval Yard would have to offer. been-shifted to Kowloos, and the scheme for a continuous Praya would have gone Ware glad to see the civilian Club is being through.
