At recent meetings of the Legislative Council a Bill to amend the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1993, was con BLEND sidered and passed the third reading at the sitting on Monday last. The object of this ammending Ordinance was to effect cer tain alterations in the Principal Ordinance principally on the recommendation of the Sauitary Board. The Hon. ihe Attorney General explained, in the statement of "ob- WHISKYjects and reasons," that the practical working of the Ordinance had shown these amend ments to be necessary. An amendment was made in the Arbitration clauses by which power is conferred upon the arbitrators, provided for in the Ordinance, to take into their consideration, in determining the amount of compensation which may THE Sin Wan Pao says that Viceroy Tsen' Chun-hsuan proposes to establish a trading be payable in any given case, the fact that the rental of the premises is enhanort at Fapu on the West River about a | hundred 1; above Kweihsin in the sub-pre- ced by reason of its being overcrowded. feature of Chinchow in Kwangsi Province, Section z of the new Bill contemplates the The Viceroy has already deputed two officials substitution of certain new definitions in to proceed to the spot to make, preliminary lieu of those in the Principal Ordinance, arrangements as to where godowns and land. among them being one to define the expres-ings should be erected and their cost, etc., eic, sion "external air.".

The paper was the more interesting as Siu was a native of Sicawei and it was mainly owing to his friendliness that the Jesuits received that imperial favour which ultimately led to their historical achievements in China, He was the son of poor parents and in spite of bis literary successes died po r.
