The Osaka Asad states that a japanese nam. ed K. Nose, the proprietor of a glass factory at Osak, has received an order for 6, too,000 bottles from a French firm at Hanoi.

A GENTLEMAN suffering from plague was re- moved from Zelland House this afternoon, and laken to the hospital. This is the first case of plague among Europeans this year.

AT a recent Chamber of Commerce meet ng a letter from the Government, dated 25th March was read inquiring whether the Cham. her could advise the Government taking any steps with a view to a representation of the Colony at the Exhibition 1905. It was decided to reply that the Cha ober, while having every sympathy with the objects of the Exhibition, were averse to any public expenditure of money to further an exhibit representing Hongkong, and they were of opinion that private enterprise amongst the Chinese Com- munity would bring the same object about. A delegate from America would doubtless canvas and organise Ilongkong exhibits in saine manner as was done in the case of the S. Louis Exhibition now being held.

SANITARY BOARD.

A meeting of the Sanitary Board was held this afternoon in the Board Room. Present: -The President (Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, P.C.M.O.), Hon. P. Jones, (Vice-President), Mr. Ahojet Rumjahn, Hon. A. W. Brewin, Dr. Pearse (Acting M. O. H.), Hon, H. E. Pollock, R.C., Col. Webb, Mr. F. J. Badeley, Mr. Fung Wa Chuo, Mr. Lau Chu Pak, Mr. E. A. Hewit, and Mr. T. A. Hannser, Acting Secretary.

The minutes of the previous meetings were read and confirmed

that the surface channel in the blocks of buildings in Des Vaux Road and Caine Road is in conformity with Section 37 of the Drainage Bye-laws, (Section 37:-" Rain water shall be diverted from house drains by means of surface channels, or otherwise to the fullest. extent practicable")-be good enough to state under which section (if any) of the Drainage Bye-laws has the Drainage Plan of the block of buildings in Robiuson Road referred to in question 4 been passed, on the face of the fact, that not only all the foul waters from each house conveyed, from house to house through- out the whole block, through an open surface channel, but all the rain water from one-half of the roofs of the whole block of buildings are emptied into one solitary trapped inlet, provid- ed at the end house of the block?

The site which had been reserved for this purpose between Marine Lots 58-63 and Inland Lots 959 and póo appeared to be in a very good place, and he recommended the erection of a small market there.
