Abandoned. The enormous deeline in the revenue is, as might have been expected, accounted for principally by a largely reduced sum tendered for the Opium Monopoly commencing in March next. The deficit in this principal source of the Colony's revenue is $490,000. The next sensibic diminution is that on the profits of subsidiary coins. Thanks to the policy which tolerated the flooding of the Colony by the discredited coins of a neigh bouring mini, there is not likely to be found any outlet for the token silver currency bear ing the King's effigy, and in consequence the taxpayers have the comforting know. ledge that no less than $120,000 will be lost to the Colony from this easy source of re venue alone. From the fact that there are less land sales expected, the loss entailed is ca
timated to be one of $100,000 $100,000 is looked upon as the raisable amount from proceeds of sales of land in the coming year as against $400,000-the revised figure for the current year. Other heads of revenue show inconsiderable differences. An abstract of expenditure showing the differences be- tween the two years 1906 and 1907 has been compiled and laid before the Council this afternoon: The respective increases are detailed as follows pr

The increments have been annual and not biennial and the increments have been larger than before. The present scheme is fair to the clerks and the salaries they draw, which vary from £50 to £150 a year, is good for
salaries drawn by English clerks in London. Ar other improvement in the subordinate de- partment is the competitive examination which will be introduced instead of the haphazard system that is in vague now. Passing from this to Public Health, whereas he was not quite satisfied with the stringent sankery measures enforced, he believed Hongkong enjoyed better health than any other post in the Far East, when the figures of Singa pure, Manila and Saigon are compared with our own. His Excellency went on to say that he hoped, and he was sure the hon. members of the Council were with him, that the officers of the sanitary department who were under charges would be able su clear themselves when the time arrived. Since his arrival in the Colony the inhabitants of two expent sive blocks were cleared out on accoap. of the overcrowded nature of the place and he wondered where that population had gone to, whether they had left the Colony, or had 6 crowded together in other places. There was g decrease in the number of prisoners in the gaol, the cause of which the Captain of Police had not as yet given. There was also a decrease in the number of vagrants in the Colony. There was an increase in the Volunteers, but he was
to announce a decline in revenue. Before pro: ceeding to discuss the reason for the decline he would explain that there were three methods open to make up for that decline: either to raise further loans, to increase taxes, ar in reduce expenditure. As regards the first he was very averse to raising new loans. They were fortunately able to meet the instalments

When the case was investigated it was discovered that the report was untrue, but that the woman, failing to recover a cer tain sum of money from her crew, who had teft her, was in the habit of calling them ugly clamation, and the Widows' and Orphans' names. The pen, it was alleged, boarded her Fund were also responsible for a proportionate junk and assaulted her. The police was suc- part of the decrease.

Dealing with His Ex. the ordinary revenue for next year. cellency pointed out that it would be less, by reason of the reduction in the rates coming from the Opium Farm, which were reduced from $170,001 to $111,000 per mensem. Excellency much regretted this reduction, be Cause he was satisfied that with reduced rates the price of the drug would be less As regards the Chinese subsidiary coina it was doubtful' if the Colony was justified in scading into Chisa $40,000,000 worth of sub. sidiary coins with a value less than their face value. The Chinese operations were greater than those of Europeans, and gradually the 20 cent piece was becoming a recognized 'stan- dard of exchange. Representations had been made to the Viceroy at Canton, through the proper channels, and communications from the Consul at that part show they have not heen without effect, and point to the in- tention of the binese authorities to desist from issuing these large quantities of sub. sidiary coins. Thus the Opium Farm and the subsidiary coins make a reduction in the revenue of $610,00% while Sunday cargo. working fees, and lawnbrokers' licences are also responsible for further reductions. Then there was the question of the timber sales. Two years ago the cry of the Colony was. "Woodmen spare that tree," but they would have to be careful that the island did not be come covered with a decayed forest of dead trees, large numbers of which had had to be cut down, and the decline in sales of timber bad been another source of seduction in revenue. In some items they estimated there would be extra revenue: such as new buildings, stamps, markets, slaughterhouses, post office, and New Territory Land Office. To make the re- venue meet the expenditure the Public Works Expenditure had been reduced to $351,000, the total decrease in expenditure amounting to $349,000, the decrease in revenue amounting to $899,250, from that of job, the figures being: 1905, Revenue...................................................$7.347.775 Expenditure........ 7,098,335

SECRET SOCIETIES IN CUCHIN- CHINA.
Considerable apprehension is felt in Cochin- China in reference to the development of so- called "secret societies" which have hardly anything secret in connection with them, ex- copi the names of the adherents and are purely and simply associations for thelf, possess. ing hardly any political end, but occasionally making use of a certain religious fanaticism. Their success is largely due to the augmenta- tion in the number of vagabonds, as a conse-. quence the present economic crisis, which, writes the Temps, Cochin-China has experi-

With regard to member- ship in such societies, prosecution is possible, but proof is difficult, and so much more difficult, in view of the fact that a police force for the country has not yet been organised. There is, therefore, only one solution to the difficulty namely, to give to the communal authorities under French control the task of repressing vagabondage and membership in the secret. The new members of the Canton police are societies. They would apply the Aphamite mostly natives from Wai Chau.
