The Medical Officer, of Health, submitted a minute stating thatthe Hospital ermmittee had selected No. 63, Third Street at a plague hospital. This house is a corner house and well enough lit and ventilated for the purpose. He suggested that the ground floor be used as the men's ward, and the first floor as the women's, and that the attendants occupy the top | floor, so that they can cook in the top floor kitchen without fear of infected splashings from v, The ground floor should have glazed areas put in so as to have the place well lighted when the front is closed for privacy. Each ward should not house more than four patients at a time, and there should +lways be an at- tendant on duty in each ward, while all and removed in the same way as is done at Kennedy Town.

THE STATE FIRE CO., LTD.
Although only extablished some fifteen years ago, the State Fire Insurance Company, Ltd., whose head office is at Liverpool, has quickly faken a place in the front rank of insurance societies and its position is stronger today than ever it was. At the annual meeting which was held. last month the chairman was in the fortunate position of being able to present a glowing account of the year's work which was well calculated to satisfy all shareholders, The net premiums for the year amounted to L148,000 and the reventa account after payment of various items showed a return of 17612. The net losses, including expenses and commission, etc., were 130, 126, leaving
a
credit balance of £42,486, An interim dividend of 3 per cent having been paid it was agreed to pay a final dividend of 4 per cent, making the sotal dividend for the year 71 percent. £30,000 was transferred to the reserve fund, thereby excreial matter should be treated with lime increasing it to £100,000 and a net balance of

should be introduced into (his Colony,"
The following questions will be asked: By the Hou, Mr. H. E. Pollock for Mr. G. Stewart. Have the experiments in wood-paving proved sufficiently satisfactory to warrant an extension of this method of 10ad-making being
taken into consideration }
ly the Ion. Mr. H. E. Pallack. With re- ference to lie leading article, which appeared in the South Ching Morning Pest of the 19th April, 1906, will the Government state why the
nalification as to dead rats therein referred lo was not promptly attended to by, the Sanitary Authorities, and will the Government also state what steps are being taken to prevent the re currence of such delays in future?
2. Will the Government consider the visability of granting to those Civil Servants who are drawing their pay on a Sterling basis the privilege of drawing ball of their pay at the rale of 15. 8d. to the dollar, or will the Govern ment grant some uther relief by way of com- pensation to such Civil Servants?
The Hon.

The Hon. President minsted? The approval of the Board is required by the, Infectious Dis- eives bye-laws, and if approved this hospital will become one of the "appointed places" to which plague patients can be removed.
Mr. Fung Wa Chün minuted: I approve of 3rd Street being used as a district hospital.
I think the Government should establish simi- lar hospitals in other parts of the city, instead f leaving it to the inhabitants to do it for them selves, as this is a matter conducive to the public good. Besides, it would avoid patients having to be carried all the way to Kennedy Town, and would also relieve the alarm of the sick and their relativés. It is believed that no, few have died of fright,
Mr. Shekon Hooper minated? The idea is a good one, but I think if possible an isolated. building should be selected if possible.
Mr. E. A. Heweta minuted: We should bave moraĵof these local hospitals.
Mr. Lau Chi Pak minuted 1am in favour of establishing small local hospitals. They will help to relieve the minds of the people and induce voluntary reports of plague cases. As a matter of fact two years ago the Board recommended the establishment of these hos pitals. That the inhabitants of the Sai ying-pun district, though the majority of them are poor, willingly came forward to raise sub- scriptions in maintain a hopital for their own sick, evidently shows that they objecĹto thej forcible removal of their sick and the undue interference of the Sanitary authorities,

Edward Cullen Elliot, who had lately savered his connection with Mr. Lazarus, the optician, and who was arrested recently by virtue of a warrant made out by A. S. Tuxford, the mana- ger, was brought up on remand at the Magistracy this afternnon on a charge of stealing, during the mouth of April, a pair of rimless eyeglasses and leather case, valued at $5, the property of the firm, Sergt. Eamer watched the case for the police. Mr. Otto Kong Sing informed the Court that he no longer represented defendant, AFuropean witness said he knew the defendant. Sometime in April last, at the Seamen's Institue, Wanchal, witness saw the case and glasses, which were produced by the defendant. The question of eye-sight, arose, and as witness remarked that his eye-sight was not good, defendant asked him to his room, where he showed him the glasses. A pair suiled witness and defendant gave it him as a present, the case was handed over a day or so later, His Worship Did you ask him if they were his glasses.

She was built in 1899 at Nagasaki, Japan, nad had two decks and four bulkheads. Her engines were invart- ed triple-expansion, two in number, and had one steel boiler. It appears from the evidence before this Court that the Chutong
when off Swatow, on the evening of the 37th April, experienced a strong north-easterly monsoon wal a rising sea, which necessitated, about 8.30 pm, the slowing down of the engines. The force of the wind and sea in- creased to such an extent that by 5 sẽm, on shipped caused a considerable list to port. As the following morning the amount of water this list increased the starboard propeller raced to such an extent that it was practically useless, and the port propeller not having sufficient power to control her movements the vessel be- came unmanageable, and, at about 5.45 a.tn. able to be used was one on the port-quarter,

After carefully considering the evidence, the Court finds difficulty in forming an opinioù as to the exact cause of the casually; but it ap-
pears fairly conclusive that water found its way
between decks due to insufficient protection from the heavy beam seas experienced, and that this fact, combined with a possible shifting of the cargo, affected the ship's stability and
would account for her loss.

Tara Banyum or tar "Rosgrong Tallonarn Sin my letter of appeal for funds for furnishing the new Church of St. An rew's, Kowloon, (which you kindly published in your last Friday's issue) find that unintentionally have done Mr. Osborne injustice in ascribing to him greater generosity than he is willing to take credit for.
As sonie friends are sharing with him the cost of the peal of ubular bells, he prefers that the gift should be ascribed not to "Mr. E. Os Lorne's generosity," as my letter stated, but as provided "by subscriptions collected" by him. I shall be glad if you will allow this rectifica- tion to appear in your paper,
Our thanks, nevertheless, are due to Mr. Osbome for the help he is obtaining from his friends, as well as for that he is himself giving.
Already a very gratifying response is being made to the appeal just sent out. I shall be glad if I might send you a list of the gifts and promises inade, in a day or two, for publica ton.-Yours sincerely,

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Contempt of Court is to be added to the numerous legal subjects with which the new Parliment is ready to deal. The uber evening the nuse of Commons resolved that the jurisdiction of judges in dealing with contempl al Court is practically abi rary and unlimited; and calls for the action of Parliament with a view to its defintion and mutaron More than twenty years ago (says the Globe) the attention of Parliament was drawn to the fact that no limit has been fixed to the power of the judges in the infliction of punishment for contempt of Court, Lord Selborne, while holding the office of Lord Chancelor, intro duced into the House of Lords a hill to limit the power of imprisonment to three months, and the power of fining to fool, everal years later a bill was introduced into the House of Commons by an irish member which provided that a question of contempt should never be tried by the judge in connection with whose Court the offence was alleged to have been, committed. But neither of these bills got be yond the introductory stage, though even then Correspondence was submilled regard it appears to be generally agreed that the mattering the inspection of Government buildings called for the action of Parliament.” One of by officers of the Sanitary Board was laid on the most remarkable things about contempt of the table, the consensus of opinion being that Court, as Mr. Oswald points out in his well in such buildings as hospitals where there were known work on the subject, is that in the great resident medical officers responsible for the majority of cases no appeal lies.

A bill was introduced into the House of Commons in 1894, which, if it had been carried into law, would have given an absolute right of appeal in contempt of Court cases, The bill, which was introduced by Mr. Warm ington, K.

THE JAPANESE BUDGET.
AN INCREASED REVENUE.
The total revenue of the Japanese Empire from taxes for the half-year ending March 31st fast was estimated at Y289,767,118, of which sum Y136,730,236 was receivable from the special war taxes. According to the Oraka Shimpo, the revenues from the Baké lax, Sugar Consumption-tax, and the profit of the Salt Monopoly and other items show a decrease compared with the amount estimated, but the
increase in the receipts from the Woollen Goods-tax, Custome, Mining-tax and others more than counterbalances the deficit. The taxes due up to the cod February have been received. It is now believed certain that total revenue of Y296,038,403 can be received for the last fiscal year, which sum is over Y6,310,000 in excess of the estimate.--Japan
