The Chairman said-Gentlemen, the report of the Working Committee was sent, I believe,

to every member of the General Committee; so take it that you will hardly wish to have it read, but there are some little matters in con nection with it that I should like to mention and comment upon. The programme, as you are aware, is that on Thursday ibere should be

a meeting of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and that certain invited guests and the General Commitee should be invited to be present, when a telegram will be sent to His * Majesty the King. As regards the invitations,

THE HANCOCK-The United States Army Transport Hancock (the well known old Arizona of Atlantic fame) recently grounded on a supposed uncharted sand bank off the coast of Zambales, was got off after a delay of three days and steamed into Manila where cholera broke out on board in the person of Private George, Eastman, ioth Infantry, who died after a few hours illness. The vessel was linnediately ordered to Mariveles bay with her troops (of which she has 450) to undergo disinfecting and at least five days quarantine.

PARCELS TO PORTS IN CHINA ME E Cornwall Lewis, the Acting Postmaster Gen eral, has given notice that in future, parcels forwarded by Parcel Post to Ports in China where British. Postal Agencies are established will be enclosed in Mails addressed to the British Office only. Before the delivery of the parcels can be taken, the addresses will be required to produce a cenificate from the Cuse toms Authorities to the effect that the parcels have been passed for and duly paid. If an examination of the contents of the parcels considered necessary by the Customs Author- ilies, such examination will take place in the presence of the addressees in the British Post Office..

understand that the Colonial Secretary, Mr. May, who will be here then, will undertake the work of sending them out Then on Friday there is to be a presentation of addresses. I raink there will be three addresses-one from the Masons, one from the Chinese, and another from the British residents in the Colony. As regards the last address we shall be glad if the General Committee would express some opinion as to what signatures should be obtains ed. Of course the Chinese will sign the Chinese address and the Masons the Masons. Should the British

British address be signed only by British subjects or should signatures be invited, from all except the Chinese? Unless I am mistaken,
