THE PLAGUE RETURN.

The plague figures of the Colony continue to show the slight tendency to raise which has been visible during the past few weeks, but compared with previous statistics on the subject the present returns are not above the average. From January to the end of June plague cases are more numerous than in the second half of the year, and we find on reference to Dr. Simpson's report that for the first six months of 1896 there were 1,116 cases Or 92 per cent. of the total number that year, while in 1898 there were 1,312 or 99 per cent.; in 1899, 1,072 or 72 per cent; in 1900, 764 or 70 per cent; in 1901, 1,487 or go per cent, and during the same period last year 382 or 67 per cent. The disease reaches its maximum in the months of May and June, so when it is considered that the total number of cases to date is 7or it will be seen that, although there is a very con- siderable increase in the number as com-

pared with the figures for last year the returns are not above the average. The number of cases last week was 117 out of which gg ended fatally. Compared with previous weeks this year the numbers are the highest yet reached for any suven days. For the week ended th April, there were 25 cases and 22 deaths, followed during the next seven days by 51 and 47, respectively, while for a similar period clos.

THE Temps reports that Bishon Anzer has been recalled from China. In official quarters in Berlin the report is contradicted.

The Jih jih affirms that the Russians in New-

chwang have been-making very strict quaran- tine regulations there in the hope, as they know the Chinese objection to it, of diverting Chinese steamers to Dalny. This seems to us a very far-fetched idea.
