with currency is unaswerable, then where is the uility of the Hongkog Chamber of Commerce and some of the influential and leading Chiness addressing H.E. the Governor on the subject?" The only reason for addressing the Governor on such a subject, which obviously cannot be decided by him, is that he may forward such representations to the Colonial Office, for which he is the appointed channel. Surely the Hon. Ho Kai might have learned this fact in his experience as a member of Council! I think, with all deference to his industry and ability, Dr. Ho Kai, would have been well advised to drop the subject. I doubt whether anyone, whether Chinese or British, greatly desires Sir Henry Blike to remain bere after the close of his term of

office.

A man by the name of Kot was the successful applicant Report says that he paid $20,000 for the office and $3,000 to the underlings at the yamén to favour his cause.
