With regard to the question of compensating property owners whose houses may be damaged as the result of being subjected to the process of disinfection, there can be no dobut that where the claim is genuine and clearly proved the compensation should be paid, the subject is far too complex to be dealt with here, and probably all its ins and nuts will not be fully understood untit

Mr. Humphreys, who brought up the question, stated that when the subject was previously discussed the Board sought to prevent the habit by issuing notices in Chinese. They decided to wait for six months after the issue of such notices and then, if the nuisance was not abated, to take further action. In answer to that, the Pre- sident stated that the six months had not yet

cial community for an adequate supply of currency exchange bills still remained. We learn new that a Japanese firm, the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha, has scot some three million dollars' worth of $5 and $10 notes to the Government of Kwangtung, and it may be presumed that these notes will be put into circulation as soon as possible. It is not to be assumed, however, that the new issue will supersede the existing paper money. It will merely be circulated, on the same basis as existing note currency in order to satisfy the requirements of busincas. In other words, this money is supplementary to the present notes and not in substitution as a dollar standard note. So that the money market will not be disorganised, "but the additional notes will rather popularise the zo cent pieces instead of debasing them, which would have been the effect had the origival idea taken practical form Apropos the discus son on the subsidiary coinage, not long ago our correspondent at Canton reported that the mint at the Southern capital was issuing subsidiary coinage far in excess of the amount which the Viceroy of the two Kwang had undertaken to mint.

Mr. Davidson argued that when his client's bill was submitted, Mr. Haxeland made certain alterations to it in red ink He then wrote at the fast of it "correct" and attached his initials. How could anyone go behind that ? he asked, The Court could not make the order for arbitra- tion' until evidence had been beard. D
