MAÇÃO NOTES.

CHINESE MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS.

[Penis Our Own Correspondent,]

Macao, 29th November.

The members of the Chinese Ruild of medi. cal practitioners here assembled at the office of the Procurator of Chinese Affairs and ap pealed to this officia! to be exempted from the payment of a tax imposed upon them by the Departement of Finance, designated an dustrial Licence," The grounds upon which they base their petition are as follows:-

That hitherto, they have not been 1xed. with any fee whatever for carrying an their profession; (2) That they are persons of very limited means, so that the imposition of the tax will cause them hardship's (3) That by the laws of the country, they have no legal right to claim or demand any consulisting fee from their patients or for anything done in connec lion with their practice; (4) That during the plaque epidemics they had voluntarily affered and gratuitously rendered their services to the Chinese Hospital and had performed there the

work of a latarelld.

The Procurator, in view of these circum- stances, promised that representations shall be made for the favourable consideration of the authorities and adde that he will exert all his efforts to obtain for them the relief they seek.

STREET LIGHTING,

After repeated futile attempls and months of delay most of the streets here have at last been lighted with the electric lamps for the past few nights, but there is still much to be denied.. The installations to private residences have given somewhat für results though there are no signs yer of the arc lamps along the Praya Grande beyond the iron poals and wires. The menacing dangers of the uncovered wires fixed to low walls and posts are causing much appréhension as a casualty attended with loss of life on account of contact with the wire, when the current is turned on, has already occurr. d bere some time ago..

THE HARKOUR MASTER,

The King of Portugal has promoted Captain of the Fleel, Albano Alves Branco, our distin- guished Harbour Yaster, to be a Rear Admiral, and this gentleman will proceed shorily to Lisbon to assume the post of director-in-chief|| of the Royal Naval College,

While Palire-constable. 74 Cooper was on duty in Queen's Road West, near the Interna tional Hotel, at about six o'clock this morning, he saw a coolle making in the direction of Tai: ping-shan with a bundle of clothing under his

arm.

"Here," said the constable, approaching the coolin.

"Stop"

But the codlie started in run. The officer gave chase and captured the man before he disappeared into a side lane.

What have you got there?" he asked, pointing to the bundle.

"Nothing,” replied the coolle calmly. He was asked to open the bundle, which he did, revealing: two brand new overcoats of a dark texture and a pair of American brown

boots..

Only six national teams entered this year, viz:-English, French, Scotch, Portuguese Irish and Austro-Hungarian. There were no Norwegian, German, Danish or Dutch teams, and conspicuous by their absence once more were any teams representing America or the British Colonies. •

Ten men entered for the individual prizes and the best showing was made by a youth of anly some fourteen or fifteen summers, who 'caine in sixth, with G. A. Turner some three minutes behind him.'.

Only one man scratched in the Individual contes—Mr. F. Martin. There were thus only thirty-seven starters out of forty-six entrants.

At eight and a half minutes past a.m. the starter, Mr. S. W. Prat, pave the word "ga" and Webb set the pace with Marges in hot pursuit, both going at a tremendous rale with Young following up, and the remainder all bunched together. Entering the Jessfield Road Webb still led with Young in second place and Marges third.

The Portuguese team then equalised with the French with Mr. J. and G. Collaco, who walked in step together as if on the march. The nineteenth man Almeida made the Fortu- 'guese team one ahead of the French, but Blum walked in soon after and E. Cons came soon

From the history which was then unrolled by the informer, it appeared: that, when the bland house-bolder volunteered to go and look for hintself, he had the illicit opium concealed about his person, and when he want downstairs, gave the opium to a friend, asking him to oblige him by, going to the Police Station, and notifying the gullabla officers there that illicit opium had been dumped by some evil-disposed person or persons in his house, in the telling which tar radiddle the unfortunate friend was enmeshed and bagged.
