The fill remains substantially unaltered in all other resports, although several clauses have been omited Since the above was written we have beer courteously favoured by Mfr. A.

We reprint the petition-in filin this issue, and from the reply of the Colonial Secretary to Mr. Hooper, it will he noted. with satisfaction that the points raised in the petition have been considered and acted upon by the Government.

ALLEGED BRILERY –George A Tack, native-building foreman, was charged before str. F. A. Hazeland this morning at the Police Court, with offering a bribe of Sio to Lance Sergeant Lee. He was defended by Mr. M. W. ide. It appears that on the afternoon of the 5th instant, Lance-Sergent Lee met the defen- dant at Des Vœux Rnd, and there handed him a sunimous for obstruction: On receiving the suminions the defendant took Sio from his pocket and offered it the sergeant asking him, to withdraw the summons.

We recollect that some objec tion was offered to the appointment of Sanitary Commissiotter to whom certain powers were to be relegated under the old Bill, The objection has been sustained and in place of the new official the Medical Officer of Health is the person invested with the power under the how law. The powers of inflicting fines for inisconduct or neglect of duty by any officer or servant of the Sanitary Board will be regarded as one which the Chinese com munity may deem as suficient amends for the objection hitherto raised against the invasion of private dwellings in the course of sanitary inspection. In the text of the Bill itself there is the following new provision made under, Overcrowding in houses with lateral space," viz., "And provided further Cathedral, Shanghai, by the Rev. H. Hodges, building which has a clear and unobstructed Un the 1st of November, at Holy Trinity that any room of any existing domestic MA, ARTHUR R CHARD MILLER to Filateral, open space of a width of not less than thirteen feet throughout the whole extent of such room may be inhabited in a proportion not exceeding one adult for every thirty square feet of habitable flour space or superficial area and four hundred cubic feet of clear and unobstructed internal air spare." New section, 89, provides for the recovery of cost of disinfection and payment of compensation for damage. The following is the section: "The Board shall have power by its officers to enter and to cleanse and dis- infect any premises where any person suffer ing from bubonic plague, cholera or small pax or any other contagious or infectious disease is or has been recently located and INGS ORDINANCE, 1902,

It is reported that Viceroy Chang telegraphed id the Foreign Office in London asking the office to mitigate the term of the death punishment on the Chenchou military officers, while all the other terms would be acceded to.
