The plague has unfortunately made its appearance in the colony, three cases being reported on Monday. Of course every precau- tion is being taken to prevent the disease from obtaining a hold in Hongkong, and, in addition to the stoppage of immigration from Macao, the Chinese passengers and boats from Canton are medically examined in port. The position of affairs in regard to the Sanitary Board remains in about the same position as it was last week. At a meeting of the Board on Thursday the re- signations of Mr. J. J. Francis and Mr. R. K. Leigh, the elected members, were announced, and they have since issued an address to their electors. Dr. Hartigan and the on. Ho Kai, the unofficial members nominated by the Govern- ment, have also sent in their resignations. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. H. May, the Vice-President, strongly condemned landlords for not complying with the sanitary by-laws, During the week Miss Grace Hawthorne and company have been performing at the Theatre Royal. There was a fire in Jervois Street on Monday night, and one of the occupants was burned to death.

Since then public criticism place for Mr. Mitchell-Innes, and he would be glad to cast its dust from off his shoes.” where in the same issue our contemporary says:
