The following correspondence' was laid on the table at the, Sanitary Board meeting this afternoon!-

Sanitary Board Office, 19th August, 1992. To the Honourable F.H. May, C.M.G., Colonial

...Secretary.

The site of the proposed building is ou Inland Lot, No. 1207 with the front to face Hollywood Road opposite the Chinese Recrea

Oround

The open space in front of the proposed building is about 253 feet, on the East side is Po Yan Street which is 25 feet 8 inches wide its rear is New Street which is 25 feet & inches wida, and on its West wide there is an

open area,

THE WEST MARKET OVER- OROWDED.

· NO ROOM' FOR SÅLT FISH. The following is a report by Mr. Adam Gibson (Colonial Veterinary Surgeon), to, the Secretary of the Sanitary Board relative to the stalls of the Western Market and which was laid on the table and discussed at the Sanitary Board meeting this afternoon:

Trade in the Western Market is greatly hampered, for want of room, and the supply of pork, vegetables and fresh fish stalls is not equal to the demand. Fifteen of the stalls in the Market are used for the purpose of selling salt Ash. The greater part of the retail trade in salt fish is done from shops, and as salt fish is not a very perishable commodity, I do not think that any great hard- ship would be inflicted on the lessees of these salt fish stalls if they were compeile 1 to vacate their quarters and find shop elsewhere. This would leave a good deal more room for the sale of those articles, which more properly belong to a market for the sale of perishable food stuffs,

The applicant winds up by sying, as there can be no question of having in sufficient open space round this building and as the building is to he used as a theatre, trust that the Board will recommend this plan for the approval of His xcellency thesis, pork, fish or vegetables, &c. I would there. Governor."

fore recommend those stalls be no longer let as salt fish stails, but be Jet for the sale of fresh fish, pork or vegetables.

Fon Dr Clark minuted. do not consider this plan at all satisfactory as these Chinese theatres are always occupied by a considerable number of persons and no yard space whatever is provided,. The four feet lane, obstructed by taircases, should be made an eight fect lane and unobstructed.

The

Dr Atkinson minuted. theatre on this site is in my opinion very undesnably situated as it would be close to the Tung wat and near to the Government Civil Hospital. noises from such 7 building would be very detremental to the comfort and well being of the patients. There are already two large Chinese theatres in this neighbourhood.

Mr. Lau Cha Pak minuted-There is at present one Chinese theatre nearer to the Tung Wa Hospital and another to the Govern ment Civil Hospital than that proposed. I the application be refused on the ground stated in the President minutes it may be just as well to close the other two. As regards the site, I should say if not better it is not worse than the others. I think the Board might entertain the application if the owner undertakes to comply strictly with the requirements of sanitation.

Mr. Osborne minutedThis is an instance where the Board, can do something towards preventing further overcrowding. It can refuse to approve the plans and make a strang recommendation to Government to prohibit the theatre altogether: Wherever you have a theatre there will be overcrowding. Board's efforts should be directed towards spreading the population and this can to some extent be done by keeping theatres,-opium divans, and such like places far away from

each other.

The

Hoo. W. Chalbam misured-it would be well to ascertain how many people will accupy the premises and where they will be quartered. I do not see that the Board can deal with the application on the lines indicated in the Presidents minute.

ייי

Hon. F. J. Badeley minuted.—I agree with D. P. W. The Loard is only concerned with the applecation as far as sanitation is concerned and cannot go into the question of proximity to hospitals or other general con- siderations.

Hou. Dr. Clark again ininuted-The architect states that it is impossible to state haw many people will occupy the theatre. It will very from time to time.

The architect's plans were refused, and the Government is to be recommended to forbid the theatre on this site.

Siri have the honour by direction of the Board to report that the Registrar General is unable to let the stalls in the extension of the. Sokonpao Market, as at present arranged, and H.M.S. to recommend that: (1) a large entrance from Jardine's, Bazaar be made on either side of the central-column; the dwarf cross wall, he' removed, and, the stalls arranged in the central part of the vacant space as in the rest of the market, and not, round the sides as shown on the accompanying tra ing.

Mr. C. Mel. Messer, Acting Registrar. General wrote: I quite agree with the C. V. S. Salt fish can be sold elsewhere than in market, and the Western Market is in an overcrowded state, By turning out the salt fish keepers, they will suffer hardship, so I think that at least three clear months' notice should be given them to quit. If this plan be adopted, the C. V. S. should state what each stall should be allowed to sell, and in letting out the stalls some effort should be made to cause opposition to the present monapolies.''

It was decided to give three months notice to the bolders to quit and the Government is to be recommended to forbid the sales of other- wise than perishable goods.

ROYAL BIRTHDAY

CELEBRATIONS.

AT MACAO.

In connection with our report of the Royal Birthday celebrations at Macao on Sunday last, it has been pointed out to us thaf the President of the Municipal Council moved no formal-resolation and did not appeal for support of his personal views. He took the opportunity of stating that, apart from his physical ailment, which made impos. sible his participation in the festivities, he felt morally, dejected by recent occurrences and, consequently, was more inclined to sorrow than congratulation. He knew that if to him was attributed democratic ideas, which is true,

he would have professed them with greater ardour in cartier years; but he always thought it expedient to declare that he knew how to respect the country's institutions, and if he had to champion any cause he knew, too, which is the bandiest means to lay hands on in conforin- ity with the principles of the Constitution.

A STRANGE TELEGRAM...

It appears that everything in the new College. went on smoothly until last month when a telegram, couched in the following language, was received from Hopeh :-"Yao Wen cho, director of the new College, your seditious words and your rebellious conduct liave wrought up

the people of Kwangtung and their gods to. such a state of anger that, they will not feel satisfied until they have eaten up your flesh. "If you want to avoid such a fate, you musi leave the place and return to your native pro vince at once." all, if such impudent words were uttered by It would not surprise uscat

a drunken rascal, But it does greatly surprise us, when we find that the man who sent the telegram is the acting prefect of Wu-chang, Liang Ting-fen, who has all along called himself a great scholar. Liang is a Cantonese who, while in Canton some years;] ago, filled the presidency of a large Confucian college. styled the Kwang-ya Shu-yuan, established by H.E. Chang Chih-tung, when Viceroy of the Two Kwang provinces. At the beginning of this year when the Imperial Decree, ordering the immediate establishment of Colleges for Westera learning in the different provinces, had been issued, Viceroy Tao Mu turned this Confucian College into a College

for

THE NEW LEARNING,

retaining only such of itą students as seemed intelligent and young enough to take up the new course of study with any prospect of success. The Viceroy could not please every- body, and was obliged to send all the other students of the old College about their business. These students while studying in the old College, used to receive a monthly stipend of a few dollars, to which they were, of course, no longer entitled when they were turned out of the College. They thought they had been ill-treated, and, knowing that the former president, Liang Ting-fen, who is now acting prefect of Wu-chang, has great in- fluence with Chang Chih-tung, they appealed to him for help and have since repeatedly written to him, falsely accusing the professors and authorities of the new College of sowing the seeds of seditious and rebellious principles in the minds of the students, and entreating him to do something to set matters right before it was too late.

FALSE ACCUSATIONS.

Liang Ting-fen, who is well known to be a great enemy of reform, readily believed every word the false accusers poured into his cars, and has wired more than once to Viceroy Tao blu, complaining of the conduct of the profes sors and authorities of the new College and asking him to dismiss them en bloc. But the enlightened Viceroy gave Liang a gentle but sharp rebuke in reply to his messages by telling him to mind his own business and not to listen to false reports again. But notwithstanding this, Liang has had the audacity to keep on wiring to Viceroy Tao Mu in the matter, and his latest telegram contains the following words "Yao Wen-chao, Director of the new College, is hated by all the people of Cantón. Can your Excellency sec your way to dismissing him before you retire from the Viceroyalty?" In reply to this tele- gram the Viceroy said that since the iuaugura tion of the College, Yao Taotai had discharged his duties as director to his great satisfaction and that he was net, as falsely reported, too partial to the new learning,

ORDERS TO QUIT,

When Liang Ting-fen found that he had done his best to move the Viceroy to dismiss Yao Taotai in vain, be began to correspond with Yao Taotai direct, ordering him to quit bis post. This audacious and impudent con- duct so provoked the professors and director of the College that they all wanted to resign their positions and now the College is in a state of .confusion.

STATE OF CONFUSION.

Those who have observed the tide of affairs in China carefully, cannot fail to notice that the reactionaries are bebaving more and more recklessly every day, which makes those of us who are known to possess progressive pro- clivities feel that their position is insecure. It ju, who has not been guilty of any crime and has lived quietly in shanghai since the coup delat of 1898, was arrested in his native pro vince of Sheusi by Fan Tseng-hsiang, the anti-reform provincial judge in Hsianfu, and sentenced to perpetual imprisonment. And yet no one among the high officials has had the courage to cry out against this gross in- justice. Encouraged by the success of his friend Fan, the provincial judge of Sheasi, the acting prefect of Wu-chang has now gone so far as to take upon himself to dismiss the Director of the new College in Canton. It is high time that end was put to such a state of affairs.

Commercial.

TO-DAY'S INTELLIGENCE.

The new College for Western learning, es- tablished in Canton a few months ago by the retiring Viceroy Tao Mu, says the Universal BANKS are in strong demand at $600. HONG- Garett, is now in a great state of confusion KONG FIRES are wanted at $350. Small sales which will most probably earl in the breaking- have been made in INDO CHINAS at $79. and up of the institution. This lamentable state of affairs has been brought about by the blameable conduct of Liang Tiang-fen, the present acting prefect of Wu-chang, Hupeh province. A short time ago, the professors of the new college left the place one after another in quick succession. This, was soon afterwards followed by the resignation of Yao Tuntai, director of the College. This unwelcome news has been re-

·ceived with great dismay by all the patriotic Chinese in Shanghai, who are anxious to see their fellow-countrymen enlightened by means of the New Learning; and at the time when it reached this port, we made great efforts to find. out: its cause but in vain. Since then, however, through enquiry into the matter at the proper quarters in Canton, we have learned the whole history of the affairs.
