increase in the number of shops, dealing in foreign goods is very marked. The most marked change, however, is in the increase of the gambling shops. The city is fairly alive with them. Almost every street. has one of more gaudily painted "fan tan "shops." Sheets of lottery tickets meet you at every tura. Cantonese love gambling and they can have it now to their hearts' content.

Mr. Weir: I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, having regard to the collapse of a house in Cochrane-street, Hongkong, in August last, whereby 22 persons lost their lives and seeing that other buildings in the city are built similarly to that which collapsed, will be state what steps are taken to secure the in. spection of newly-constructed buildings; will be state what sum of money is expended in the colony for the purpose, and to whom it is paid.

Mr. J. Chamberlain: There is a special in- spector of buildings, and it is contemplated to meet the increase in building in the colony by additional inspectors. I cannot answer the last part of the question.

The Now Government. FOREIGN PRESS OPINIONS,

LONDON, July 16th.

The majority of the American and Continen- tal papers have appreciative articles on Lord Salisbury and welcome Mr. Balfour's, promo- tion. They anticipate British policy will

· remain unchanged.

The French press does not disguise its relief that Mr. Chamberlain has not succeeded.

The Vienna journal, the. Die Information, in the course of a most eulogistic article, declares Lord Salisbury is the most prominent statesman in Europe since the death of Bis- .marck,

The New York Herald attributes to the dip lomacy of Lord Salisbury the existence of the

close ties of friendship that now bind England and the United States,

The Tribune has some fears the retirement of the Premier denotes the end of the old era of British policy.

All Continental papers express surprise at the recent changes, having taken place so quietly

Mr. Brodrick: The question has been con- sidered from time to time, but is not at present ripe for decision.

THE POST OFFICE.

Mr. Weir: I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether arrangements have been made for the establishment of a new Post-office at Hongkong; and, having regard for the present number of the postal staff of the Colony, will be say whether the question of an increase of staff has yet been considered?

Mr. Brodrick: A site for a new Post-office has been bought. In the last three years the postal staff has been increased by nearly 50 per cent, and at the present moment there is

no proposal for a further increase before me.

Mr. Weir: Is not the right hon. gentleman aware that the present office is utterly un- suitable? |

No answer was returned.

THE PLAGUE HOSPITAL.

Mr. Weir: I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he was aware that there is only one physician in charge of.

the Kennedy Town Plague Hospital, Hong kong; and, in view of the requirements of the patients, will be consider the expediency of calling for a report on the subject, with a view to a larger and better trained staff being provided for this hospital ? '. .

Mr. J. Chamberlain: The staff at the Ken nedy Town Hospital for infectious diseases, which is, I am told, within easy reach of the civil hospital, includes a resident medical officer, two trained European wardmasters, and two trained sisters. According to the latest returns the total number of beds is 28, and the daily average of cases in hospital less than five, Under these circumstances I see no necessity to interfere with the arrangements made by the Colonial Government, with the advice of the principal civil medical officer.

HONGKONG DEFENCES, -

Mr. Weirs I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, in view of the fact that during the war in South Africa no guns were available for the purpose of fortifying the hills which command the new Kowloon Territory, Houg kong, and Mirs Bay, will be say whether pro- vision has been made in this year's Estimates for a supply of madera guns for this purpose?

Mr. Brodrick: May I refer the hon. member to the reply given in answer to a question put by him on March 24, to which I have nothing to add?

TIENTSIN, July 19th..

I expect when the time finally arrives for the handing over the greatest confusion will exist in the Chinese official circle for they will be con- fronted by a great many difficulties incidental to the large foreign occupation here and which they have not hitherto experienced.

By the way, a missionary recently returned to his post in Shensi overheard the remark
