ingly first apply to India, and if they found no men were available then they might consider whether Japanese be engaged or not.

Col. Hughes thought if Prof Simpson's panic was mentioned when applying to Calcutta

(where he was for several years) the authorities would try to meet them.”

After further discussion, Mr. Osborne said the great difficulty with regard to Japanese was how were they going to communicate. with the Chinese. It was impossible to engage interpreters.

The Chairman-Of course the Chinese are most impossible race to deal with in a disease, and we must try to do our best from an Eng lish point of view.

and made off. Her cries attracted a constable, Lin came up behind her, snatched the note,

ahimself in the hands of the law, he coolly took who succeeded in arresting the robber. Finding

out the note and gave it to the constable This morning he told the Magistrate that he could not rob a child of a Stó hote, as he never had even seen one, in fact would not know one if he saw it. This tale would not exactly "hold water" in the eyes of the Magistrate, so Au Lin got two months' hard labour, and two whip- pings of 20 stinkes each.

After a brief discussion Colonel Hughes al- tered his resolution to the effect that Prof. Simpro.'s proposal be adopted and seven extra assistant surgeons, Eurasians, if possible, be employer, the question of salary in be left over.

The Hon. Brewin was opposed to the em- ployment of as many as seven additional assistant surgeons, and he moved that the number be reduced by two, The plague commission in India he said, came to the conclusion that the number of plague cases which develop on board ship among people arriving frans infected poris was very small and that results did not compensate for the labour and expense-envolved in examining passengers. He thought those views applied equally to the state of affairs here.

The Chairman agreed, and said they really required the detention of all passengers coming from Canton in plague,ime.

Mr. Fung Wa Chua sgàd if his memory served him correctly he thought there bad only been Mo be three cases discovered on beard of the Macao and Tangkong steamboats. The Chi- mere were afraid of the sanitary measures in the Colony, and Hongkong would be the ins

place where they would conc. In fact, when tanse who were in ongkong felt well they went away so that lie examination of those as bound of steamets was mertly an unnecessasy annoyance and.no gond.

Mr. Osborne failed to see why they should ask for a less number of inen,

Mr. Fung Wa Chun-We should ask for the ment but for the purpose of ex unining people on steamers,

Dr. Clark said, it depended entirely on how many cases there were in deal with.

reinforcement of the medical staff. The plague was pot coming on immediately and if they got five now and indications were given later on that the outbreak would be serious they could consider whether it was advisable to ask |

for more.

The Chairman reuninded the meeting that it was just as well to be unanimous on the

matter.

"Ferber discussion ensued in the course of which Cal, Hughes expressed the opinion that the examination of passengers was a farce if not throughly done, and to do it thoroughly, on the boats it would take nearly a week.

The Chairman asked Col. Hughes if he would. alter his resolution so as to read five assistant Surgeons.

Col. Hughes-Yes]

The motion was then put and carried.

'ADMIRALTY EXPERIMENTS IN

COLOURS.

A RAINBOW FLEET.

When the Channel Squadron starts on its next cruise early this year it will look like a floating rainbow. Practically all the ships are to be painted different colours, and such colours, too! The like'were never before laid upon British warships. Of course this is being done with an object. It is, in fact, another result of the experimenting fever which has seized upon the Admiralty, Having done what they could to make our battleships more formidable ar engines of war, their lordships are now trying to hit on some way of rendering them invisible; or as 'nearly so as possible, Hence the order to paint, the different ships different colours..
