Worse than Liaoyang.

LONDON, 17th October.... Reuter's correspondent with the Russian western army wired, on the 15th instant, that six days fighting, exceeding in ferocity that at Liaoyang, bad resulted in the con- tinued retirement of the Russians. The Japanese were now driving a wedge into the Russian centre. The terrific bombardment had caused a heavy storm of rain and bail and the battlefield had become an impas sable morass in which both armies were

stuck.

Zanzibar, Sept. 8.

At 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning Majesty's cruiser Forte weighed agchor and steaming to the south, observed in the dim morning, light the masts of two suspicious steamers in Menai Bar, South Island. They did not observe the forse until she was fairly close to them. Whethey caught sight of her signals were exchanged between the two vessels, which proved to be the Russian Volun- tear cruisers Smolensk and Peterburg, and they weighed anchor.

The Forks thereupon ran up the signal Have important dispatches," and the Russian cruisers dropped anchor again. A boat was seat from the Forte, carrying the Russian cipher telegram and the formal protest embody- ing the demand of the British Government and calling upon the Russian cruisers to desist from interfering with neutral shipping. Lieutenant Helgar, who was in charge of the boat, returned to the Forfe with the message that a reply would be sent from the Peterburg. Shortly after his return, Captain Skalsky, of the Peter. burg, cams on board the Forts, being received by a guard of honour. He speaks English fluently, and stated that he had arrived on the previous day. He had taken no coal in, nor had he communicated with any one.

ABATEMENT OF NUISANCES IN

DWELLING HOUSES,

At the meating of the Sanitary Board yea” terday, the following letter from Mr. Rumjahn Was read ****.

I send you herewith a copy of the Sanitary Record of the 21st September last On page 209 under the beading "Legal Proceedings to Prevent Nuisances it will be observed (inter alia) that in Russell v. Shentin (11. L. J. Q. B. 289) it has been held that the occupier and not the owner of premises is prima facie liable to the repair of drains and sewers when a nuisance

occurs,

Sub-committes meetings held at the end of last It will be remembered that in one of the year I advocated the change of our procedure defective and the choking of downpipes and drains by calling upon the occupier or tenant, instead of the owner, to remedy the same in order that suisances might be more expedi tiously abated and the work of the officers con. corned lessened.

as to the abatement of nuisance arising from

Under the present regime, when a downpipe or trap is choked or broken, the inspector by whom the nuisance is discovered leaves a memorandum addressed to the owner with one of the occupiers, to forthwith abate the nuisance, It is needless to say that the memorandum seldom reaches the owner. The luspector on his re-visit of the premises the next day or later fiads the continuance of the nuisance and re parts the case to the Senior Inspector of the District, who, on being satisfied of the existence of the nuisance, notifies the Secretary of the Board. TheSecretary directs a search to bemade in the Land Office for the name of the owner, whose address is then ascertained, either at the Treasury or the Registrar-General's Office. A notice is then made out calling upon the owner 10 abate the nuisance within a specified time. Thus stays often elapse before a trivial choking of a cownpipe or trap can be remedied. It frequently happens that as soon as the nuisan ce has been abated by the owner, on receipt of

Go approaching the Paracels, it was blowing a stiff breeze, so the Hailong found a snug anchorage off Lincoln Isle which is situated about 40 miles from the Bombay Reef.

After much difficulty, a landing was effected on the coral reef which entirely surrounds, the island.

In the event of the choking of downpipe or trap the nuisance can be abated by one of the occupiers in the presence of the Inspector by whom the nuisance is discovered in less time than it takes that officer to make out his memorandum or to report the case to his senior; and in the case of leakage or broken condition of the pipe or trap twenty-four hours would be an ample time for the occupier to abate the nuisance, which would otherwise continue unabated for days under the present regime.
