RESIDENTS in general at Macao and the poor in particular will regret to learn that Dr. L. P. Marques is shortly to discontinue practice in the colony. As in tiongkong su al Mação the worthy medico has earned a wide reputation for the eminent success attending his treatment and his benevolence amongst the poorer class of the native community. Dr. Marques was ever at their beck and call. He will leave Macao for Hongkong to-morrow and will embark on a regular liner trading between this port and the Straits.

pinting out that.. the Governor had very carefully considered the recommendations of the Board with every anxiety to meet their wishes. le stated that the recommendation was to a certain extent based upon the assumption that the closing of the theatres in go had some effect upon the course of the epidemic. These theatres, he wro e, are large and well-ventilated structures, and assuming that each ac commodates about 2,000 persons. the two

theatres in Victoria would remove for several hours to persons to a place of rational amusement; persons who would the wise be congregated in the already too congested tene- ments. His Excellency hopes that on further consideration the Board will agree that in time of epidemic it is not well, if it can be avoided, to deprive the people of antise nents. Having pointed out that the Govern ment understood that the system of closing theatres was not approved of hy scientific men in England, and alluded to the fact that in 19ɔl such a course had un clicct upon the course of the plagas epidemic, the writer proceeded, is with great reluctance that His any proposal Excellency disagrees with put forward by the Sanitary Board, whose anxiety to carry out effective measures His It is fully Excellency fully acknowledges. agreed that the theatres should be thoroughly cleansed, and His Excellency suggests that per- haps a temporary resolution tha al persons attending the theatres should wear shoes might possibly be of use in the event of plague bacilli being expectorated by any of the audience"

After discussion Mr. Pollock moved that the

Board adhere to the recommendation which they originally made to the Government that the theatres be closed during the plague season.

THE ADMIRÄLTY DOCK.

AMALGAMATION SUGGESTED.

Sir Thomas Jackson, of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and the leading citizens of Hongkong have addressed strong representa- tions to the Admiralty in favour of shifting the

naval establishment over to Kowloon, on the ground that the dockyard is crippling the cam- mercial development of our greatest colonial part. The Government were well aware of this objection as far back as 1897, when they em- barked on a larger expenditure on the naval establishment under the Navy Works Bill. An independent suggestion has now been made that the colony should take over the various ship-repairing establishments at Hongku g and Kowloon, including the Hongkong and Whampoa Decks and the naval dockyard, and run them as one concern, giving the naval ships the first call, and executing their repairs upon agreed terms. There is little prospect of either suggestion being entertained, obse ves the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian.

TRADE WITH THE EAST,

The United States Government is still draw- ing on the Sydney market for supplies for the troops located at the Philippine Islan's, and large shipments were taken away yesterday by the China Navigation Company's steamer Chingtu, reports the Sydne Dully Tele, uph of the 14th ult.

The cargo by the st er includes 217 creases mutton, 1,200 cases onions, 1,294 cases potatoes, too crates cabbages, 20 crates cauliflowers, and 200 cases fuit, For Hongkong, the Eastern takes, in addition to a big general cargo, 100 tons of lead and 38 tons of soap. There is also a shipment of specie-13 boxes (to,c93)--hipped by Chin. ese for Hongkong. The Japan cargo includes a shipment of 200 tons of lead.
