-A meeting of the Sanitary Board will be held to-morrow, the 12th December, at 4.15 p.m.

ORDERS OF THE DAY.

Amendment of drainage Bye-law No 30. Minute by the Medical Officer of Health re-

porting that the animals in the Wong-nei-chong Dairy Farm are free from foot-and-mouth disease.

Mr. E. Osborne, pursuant to notice, will

move-

That the Government be asked to, fx iran netting or other suitable contrivance over all the sewer and storm water gratings in Victoria, Thi Kok-tsui, Yaumati, and Hung Hom before the end of next February with a view to pro- vent the egress of rats from the drains..

AGENDA.

1. Correspondence relative to certain mez- zanine floors in No. 27, East Street.

2. Return of the number of rats caught

during the five weeks ended December 2nd, 1901

5. Fortnightly lime-washing return.

unaided, until he also fell, simply riddled with bullets. Colonel Benson was shot quite early in the battle, but for a time he directed the movements from the place where he fell, and subsequently when Major Wools-Sampson took over the complete control, the Colonel, whose life could probably have been saved had ho received immediate surgical assistance, forbade the sending out of an ambulance, Jest, under cover of the red cross, the Boers should remove the guts, which they could not capture in ppen fight. As they bore him into the camp hours after, with no hope remaining that he could suffer beyond the coming dawn, he summoned his falling strength to bid Major Sampson defend the camp to the last man and the final cartridge. So he died-quixotically as some say, for the guns were not saved-yet ngt in vain, for the dauntless.spirit within that mangled body "sustained the troops among whom he lay all day, so that, even when, ammunition failed, and the fire of the enemy could not be returned, no word or whisper of surrender passed among the men who watched beside their chief. They, fixed bayonets and waited without complaint for the opportunity of a revenge which never came. Brakeplaagte was proportionately, the bloodiest battle of the campaign, and it has plunged a great many families into mourning, just at'a time when it was generally supposed that heavy casualty lists were things of the past. The Boers are said to have treated our wounded 'badly, but only one case has as yet been proved, in which a man. with a frightful-abdominal injury was stripped naked and left in that condition all night upon the veldt, although at this season night frosts. occur in all the high lands. The wretched sufferer was discovered by the ambulance in the • morning and brought in to camp, but he only survived a few hours.

HEAVY REINFORCEMENTS are to be despatched between now and Christmas to make up losses and to enable a few ex- hausted regiments to come home for a well- earned rest. The 7th Hussars, of which Prince Arthur, only son of the Duke of Connaught, is an officer, is under orders to sail next week.. The young prince is to be kept back to come

piete his drill, but will proceed to South Africa in three months' time. The Dragoons left yesterday, and their embarkation waş, marked by a significant incident. Next 10 the troop ship it so happened a German steamer was moore, and sonte of the sailors"thought the opportunity a good one to jeer at our soldiers, and cheer for the Boers. The dock labourers were furious, and an interchange of violent" language naturally followed, till the Germant officers, anxious to restore peace, sent the wea men below, and threw bandsful ́of, cigars, cigarettes and small coin down to the labourers, who promptly consigned the presents to the sea with the remark, they did not want anything from Pro-Boers,

The incident is related by an eye-witness, but did not appear in the papers.

SIR IAN HAMILTON

relinquishing his new appointment at the War Office, goes out, early next week, to take up the ' position of Chief-of-the-Śtaff to Lord Kitchener, in place of General Kelly, coming home on leave. The appointment is highly approved in Service circles. It is understood that Lord. 5.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

is calling for too women yolunteers to go for one year to South Africa, to teach the, Boer children in Concentration camps. The terms · are not considered good enough, it is stated, among the ladies chiefly concerned, but con- sidering the rates obtaining in England, £100 with quarters, rations and all travelling ex- penses, seems fairly reasonable, Seeing how- ever the immenso possibilities in the hands of those to whom the training of the next gener ation of Boers is entrusted, the authorities will be wise if they secure the services of the very best women even at a higher cost. Speaking of feminine work at the front Miss Habhouse, who, when refused a place on the Committee of inquiry into the condition of the Concert.

OUR LONDON LETTER.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, November toth.", THE PRINCE OF WALES, As I foretold in my last letter, the Duke of Cornwall was yesterday (the King's birthday) granted the title of Prince of Wales. The revival of the name so familiar to, Englishmen is hailed with universal approval, and has given special satisfaction to the small principality, which never quite forgets or forgives the fact the the arms of Wales are not included in the Royal Standard. A long list of other honours connected with the anniversary was published in yesterday's Gazette, but it cannot be said to be of remarkable interest, although among the recipients of minor decorations are included many well-known nantes io various parts of the Empire. The K.C.M.G. for Sir Harry Johnson, Into Commissioner of Uganda, is a very popular award, though it is generally: felt to be but a small recognition of that officer's most valuable way home, services, The decoration of Mr. Jones of the Elder Dempster Line, is an indication that the Government is waking up to the value of our West Indian possessions, for this K.C.M.G. is admittedly conferred on account of the great ervice his firm has done Jamaica in establish. ing fast direct line of steamers between the Island and Bristol, a move which has already given a marked impetus to the Jamaica export

trade.

has inspired some instructive comments in the general press.. On the whole these comments display an advance in British understanding of Chinese affairs, since the days when Li bam- boozled Europe in the great tour after the war, though comparatively few persons, whether private citizens or leading journalists, realize,to the full how inimical the old statesman was to

British interests during the last eight or ten years of his life.

LORD ROSEBERY'S ACCEPTANCE

of the Darby Liberal Imperialists' invitation to address a great political mecting in their town towards the end of the month, is probably. responsible for certain sensational rumours to which currency has only been given in the less responsible papers, but which I have heard repeated in more than one quarter. The

report is to the effect that an amalgamation between the Imperialists on both sides of the House, is to be brought about very shortly, and that a coalition: ministry to include Lord! Rosebery, Sir Edward Grey and Mr. Asquith will then be formed, Basing my own opiniog do that of those who are politically in the
