THE FUNERAL,

We much regret to have to report the death of Mr. John Walter, which took place on 15th Ian at Lynwood, St. Leonarda-on-Sea The late Mr. Walter was an old and valued servant of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank.”- Hè I have read with 'much interest the article on- this aul ject is your issue of January 25. The China in 1852, xąd soon after joined the firm of Dent and Co., at Shanghai, with, topic is one which has long been familiar to whom he remained until that firm censed to those interested in the Chine trade, and it was exist In 1868 he joined-ibe Shanghai office frequently referred to in your aboual summaries of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, He. in past years. Germ as were represented at subsequently became agent at Hankow, then Canton is the old factory days; and as business acting manager at Yokohama, and afterwards men they have long played a prominant part was acting manager at Shanghai during Sir in the development of certain portions of the

Ewen Cameron's absence." He occupied the trade at Hongkong, the Coast ports, and chiefly position of sub-manager for a time at the head at Shanghai. It says much for the large office, Hongkong, before being appointed in-. mindedness of Englishmen that, in strange spector of branches. He filled the post of contrast to the position at Kiao-chow, they acting chief manager at Hongkong before final. have been content that German merchantly feaving the East. He returned to England Baron Budberg, a member of the Russian on lower floor from an upper flow.. Chinese should be absolutely unliampereed by special 1838 to take up the position of sub-manager al Council of the Empire, while driving in Apars, balore the existing Public Health, and taxation at a place like Hongkong, the very the London Agency, and was appointed to the

TE CEILING QUESTION. An application for a licence for an eating house having been received the question of the removal of the ceilings was again considered.

The Medical Officer of Health minuted: 1 scull-verommen I that a licence be not issued until the ceilings are removed. The objection to ceilings is that they harbour rats, and this applies more forcibly in the case of eating houses, as there is so much food lying about.

Mr. Lau Chill-Pak minuted: The Hoard has no pawer, to compet people to remove ceilings where no plague cases have oc curred. In a business of this kind ceilings are most necessary, as they make a shop attractive, and prevent dust, and diet falling on the food

Later. The Wreck of the "Jean Bart."

RICKSHA NIYANGK AT WANCHAL

"THE POLICE MILLS DRIND SLOWLY. Writing editorially some time in January last the Hongkong Telegraph made mention of a public nuisance, not to say, a public dan ger, which was allowed to continue unchecked In the Wanchai district. We refer to the habit, ricksha coulies have of taking up their stand at unauthorized places along the Praya Fast where- the road is narrow and the chances of passing a tramcur on one side and the disengaged rickshas, on the other side are exceeding small. If, as we have sai i before, the Praya East were as wide as, Figsway or Brooklyn Bridge it might be permissible to wink at the infraction of the law by the over-anxious coolies awaiting fares, but it happes that the roadway is com paratively na.row and is rendered still marrower by the fact that caṛi take up a considerable portion of the mad. An ther fact which makes travelling by ricksha along that road particulars ly dangerous is the custom these coolies put into p actice of rushing across the mad when they see a probable fare, losing sight of the lact that a tra car is only a hort distance away and other rickshas carrying fares approaching from another direction. From several cases which were heard at the Ralice Court this morning we are glad to see that the Wanchai pal 'ce have entered on a cusade against these offenders., Six riccaba coolies were summoned,

and fined, for taking up unauthorized stands, scwhile disengaged, at the corner of Ship Street and the Praya East. That is only the stepping stone towards abölishing the nuisance, and we trusi that, before long-the-ricksha obsniuci tion outside the Naval Canteen, where the chances are grenier for an accident occurring than anywhere else, will be a thing of the past. These unauthorized stands should be shifted to the vicinity of the landing, stage in Arsenal Street where the risk of an accident happening might be obviated.

REVIVAL OF THE CHINESH BOYCOTT.

.AMERICAN SCEPTICISM.

According to late dispatches there is a marked recurrence of the, Asiatic boycott on American' commerce. The American consul

Lat Canton cables to the State Department

Buildings rdinances were enacted, were so peculiarly constructed, that it would be impos sible to keep dust and dirt from falling through without ceilings. It is a hardship on this class of shop-owners to impac such a condition as suggested by the Medical Officer of Health, The ceilings are the owners property, which it is absurd to call open the tenant to remove. It is just the same as selling the applicant that unless he destroys, and pays for, certain property belonging to his landlord, he cannot be allowed to trade in this Colony! i don't sea any differ enge hetween the case of renewals and that of new licences. The ruling of the Government should be adhered to, as the ceilings have been in existence all these years.

A Humphreys minuted: If the Board has no power, as Mr. 1 au Chu Pak contends, there is no need for discussion, but if it has, I am no1 in favour of forcing the tenant to remove these ceilings,

Mr. Fung Wa Chún migused: an not in favour of these ceilings being removed.

It may be said that these are small matters, but they, and others of a similar character, have given rise to a ce lain feeling or soreness in mercantila circles in two such essentially British places as Singapore and Hongkong. I do not more than mention the famous attempt to go behind our back as regards our legitimate phere of interest in the Yangtze Valley, but KOWLOON SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.

such things leave a feeling of heart-burning to Corresposa.lence was submitted relative to the position of a new slaughter-house at Kowailicle on which I am commeating. There is which no allusion is made by the writer of the n. It was proposed to remove the present of course a certain amount of truth in the state- depot and slaughterhouse from Hunghem to ment that our mercantile representatives in the Malamkok, but to this the butchers and cattle Far East have often manifested a want of dealers of the Peninsula objected on account

nitiative in pushing old lines of business or of the Jistance, saying that the distance was

in exploiting new ones. That is a tendency too greai, as the meat was stamped and passed at 6 am. at lunghom, but it would take them springing from the old and ridiculous idea that three times as long to reach the market in Hongkong, so that, the meat would arrive too late for sale. Moreover, there was no proper wharf for the shipping of the meat. They said the best place for the slaughter house would be near the Pumping Station", at Yaumati for pigs, and for. cattle at Mung-kok-wai which the cattle arrive from the countr as it would be near the Tai-pu Road, by The Hon, the Director of Public Works said the objection to having the slaughter houses in the-localities indicated was that in time they would be surrounded by populous districts and owing to the fitness of the land, and dis. tance from the harbour, there would be some difficulty with the drainage. He thought that the Mataukok/site was about the best site, and said that there would soon be a wharf, available at all states of the tides, and a crane could be. supplied if i was found necessary.

The Medical Officer of Health said he

in the very nature of things we were bound to be at the head of the world's commerce, and

us-English," and therefore unpractical. As that any attempt to work on new lines must be

But whenever Japan has some urgest little demand to press against our go veroment she blows on the smoldering embers and again the anti- American boycott in China blats up rapidly.

The following report is from Mr. F. G Figg, First Assistant of the Hongkong Observatory:

On the 5th at 11.45 -The depression has moved into the Pacific to the E. of Jopar.

The inspector said he visited the house and found a tatrine, which the tenant said had been built two months, ie advised the latter in apply for a permit.

The Medical Offer of Health said that the house in question had only half kitchens and hall a yard, and, as the yard was only 65 sure feet in area, he could not recommend that it be obstructed by a latrine. There was a public latrine only one minute's walk from the build ing

Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett minuted: How is it that a latrine can be built for two months with- out the District Inspector being aware of the fact?
