COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Following is the substance of the report laid before the Legislative Council yesterday after
11001 :--
1. The committee have held many meetings and have ins; ecled the French and Italian
Convents where most of the infant le deaths under one month occur.

9. From the above figures it will be seen thatthe percentage of deaths to admissions is much higher in the French than the Italian cases is much higher, being 14.5 and 23.8 Convent. So, also the proportion of trismus respectively. This is accounted for by the
ference, the telegram of Baron Rosen being of a considerable length, containing over six. hundred words. While the exact nature of the decision has not yet been made known, it is believed to be of a very gravo'bature.

London, 11th January.
The following are the demands which Japan made upon Russia. They proposed that by mutual agreements Japan and Russia should engage to respect the territoral independence of the Chinese and Korean Empires. They stated that they were willing that there should be a mutual recognition of privileges acquired by Russia or Japen under special treaties, provided they were consistent with the principle that all nations should be given equal com mercial opportunities. The Japanese Govern ment stated that these proposals represented the irreducible minimuin which they could accept.

This led to another volume of correspondence in which the Medical Officer of Health endea and Deaths Registration Ordinance of 1896, voured to in roduce a Bill to amend the Births giving him powers to order post-mortem in every case where the death was not duly certified. The Medical Officer of Health further recommended that a small fes be paid to the midwives for every birth reported by them and in order to verify these the services of female visitors should be obtained to investigate the accuracy of these registrations, while the committee of the Sauntary Board who were inquiring into the question, recommended that a fee of 50 cents be paid to either parent on the notification of the birth being made within one manib.

As is usual at these important conferences, strict precautions were taken against any particulars leaking out, it is generally be lieved, however, that the conference had a two-fold object-first to confirm the resolutions adopted by the Ministry with regard to the rejection of the Russian Reply, and secondly to frame an actual ultimatum.

DECISION CABLED TO THE POWERS. Kobe Chronicle (12th inst.) - Events seem to be steadily moving in the direction of the last resort, for to believe that Japan is satisfied with the latest Russian Note, and is inclined to continue the negotiations, is palpably absurd.

It is reported that the Japanese Government, having at last perceived the futility of continu ing the negotiations with Russia-the latter's replies being always of an indefinite ature- will adhere to their original determination and address an ultimatum to Fussia in the course of a few days. At the same time Japan will increase her military preparations and then calmly await Russia's final reply.

Of this latter figure (495) the French Con vent supplies 370 or 74.7 per cent. In this con- vent during the above period there were 1,392 admissions and 1,271 deaths equal to 91.3 per cent of deaths to admission; of these deaths we have 277 or 21.8 per cent. due to frismus and funds.
