Empress of China will receive more than passing notice in the columns of the Press the occasion is one of considerable public interest. The old lady at Peking has now reached the allotted spar of three-score years and ten and has recognised that the time is fast approaching when she must cease to interest herself in affairs of State and when her political influence will begin 1o wane. But a few weeks since she is re- ported as stating that she was now worn out with age, and that her strength and health is far different from before. If it were not on account of the perilous state of the Empire this year, she added, she would have retired to Eho Park long ago, to confine herself in total seclusion from the rest of the world, allowing the Emperor to take his course. Such were her remarks when ap proached with reference to the ceremonies proposed by the Board of Rights in celebration of her seventieth birthday. A. S.

I will be re- membered that lately she issued a Decree that her coming birthday should be cele brated in such a way as to curtail expenses as much as possible, in consideration of the exigencies of the time; but now, as recent affairs indicate, the order will not be forced not to say that it has been cancelled. This sudden change of the Empress Dowager's mind, it is learned, is attributed to the work of members of the Imperial Household, who heavily bribed a certain eunuch to persuade her to celebrate her birthday in the usual Banner.

This was a very serious

Dr. Atkinson-The Magistrate has already decided that they are tenement houses..

Mr. Rumjaho.-Perhaps the Magistrate had not his attention drawn as to whether the houses were accupied by members of more than one family. It was not a question of

tenemeal houses.

Hon. Brewin said he had been through the houses mentioned by Mr. Rumjabe He certainly found three of them were occupied by members of one family. He was surprised that the Inspector should have dreamt they werd not to. The houses were perfectly clean and well Hime- washed. He felt quite sure the Inspector had made a mistake. The Board was not bound by the decision of the Magistrate.

Mr. Hewart-Would it not be advisable to make some definite ule with regard to family houses? The description given by Mr. Brewin and Mr. Rumjan leaves no room for doubt as to the nature of these house. The inspectors should be instructed in the case of a family buse not to enlfurce the law.

Dr. Barnett--This his already baca done. Mr. Rumjahy, -1 is not a question of giving insinuctions to the inspectors. They all know it. It was so stated in the Ordinance, What was required was the pratention of indiscri- minato prosecutions.

Dr. Atkinson I beg your pardon. All appli cations for summonses have to be initialled by a Medical Officer of Health. There have not been any indiscriminate prosecutions.

Mr. Runjahn-Have not the persons 1 have referred to been illegally, and indiscriminately prosecuted? What about the fines inflicted? We should recommend the Government to re- fund them. They were fined $7 caca and that amount was a large sum to these poor people.

He would think the forecastle head of the Ujina was quite as high as their bridge, whilst the bridge of the former must have been at least seven or eight fect above her forecastle head. The boatswain had strict orders to station his men to change the lights and report to witness as soon as it

He heard the anchor drop, and then saw the mast head light and the green ride- light disappear, while at the same time he saw anchor lights being hoisted. He saw, the Ujina coming up behind, apparently about to pass; between the land and his abip. It

seemed to him she was coming info harbour at fall speed. He then saw the Ujima changed her course in a rortherly direction. towards the Wongkos. The Ujina then dropped one of her anchors, and the collision took place shortly afterwards.

The Court adjourned at 4.45 p.m. until 10.30 am, to-morrow.
