Che: Daily. press. A voLume of papers und reports upon ‘ bubonic plague has recently been issued at home by ‘the Medical Department of. the Local Government Board. The progress ‘of the disease during the years 1898-1901 | and tho “measures taken against it in different parts of the world are described, the bulk of the repurt being the work of Dr, Bruce, Low, while the introduction is . witten by the Medital Officer of the Board, Mr. W. H, Powen, FBS. Certain parts of the’ report: nre devoted ta the considera. “tion “of the question of the eantiection between. human and rat-plague, a subject which is of great interest out’ here. 'The ~ Opinion of the local medical authorities, as in most parts of the Far East, is in favour of an intimate connection, and indeed of the great influence of rats inthe diffusion, of the disease. But, on the whole, Dr. Brice Low does, hot seom to find the ease ugainst the rat as strong as las been supposed, The documents | which he has’ had the opportunity of consulting, while supporting” the theory of reciprocal infection between men and rats, ave ‘not conclusive against the rat ua the introducer of the disease, From ‘an abstract of the Local Government _ Board ‘publication (for the full report has not reached us) it seems to be held that, ‘as far as plague on “shore is concerned, - in some localities man and the rat suffered * from plague, coincidently ; ; in other localities, man suffered before the rat; and Gn others ~ again the rat suffered antecedently <Moreover, when in a. partioula With reference ‘to the appointmentof Mr.A.

It seems a pity that the services of such’ an accompliahed Japanese scholar should be lost to Japan, but aa theChemulpo consulate has. béen placed on the Jepau establishment, Mr. Lay may subse- quently be appointed to ‘one of the important consulates in this country, anless in the mean- while he is-tranéferred to a still more rosponsible sphere. ie From a notice which appears in . another column it will bo acon that on and after the Ist prox, the price of the Hongkong Daily Preas ewilt bo increased from, $2.50 a month to $3 ¢ month. This hss beea found necessary owing to the fall in exchange, and we moy point out that since the paper was started in 1857 the price has remained unaltered. The first number’ appeared on Thursday, Ist Octobsr, 1857, and consisted of a four-page paper, the size of the: page being 16 inches by 16 inches, and the price $250 por month, It is sid to realise the difference, however, in the value of the dollar, for under the head of “Excbangeand Bullion Market, Hongkong, 12th Octotier, 1857” we quote the following i“ On. Hongkong at—six months’ sight 5/..° On Bombay, the ‘market opened at 231, and closed at 225... On Calontta tha. open- ing rate was 223, closingat 219"!

The locality of the attack was and sooing ons went to the i informattoo. Sho° conducted the soldiers to a place urar Ho-kwai, in the, Tungkong district, aud pointed out several boatmen and four fiold Jabourers as having . committed . the deed. ‘Tiexo were arrested and-in thoir possession svere found a pair‘of marine glasses and a pair of trousers, which Mra. Evana identified as her lata husband’s property, and slso a quantity of foreign rice. The. men arrested ‘wore sent to Canton, and boat a woman -one of them has confessed tohaving shot Mr. Evans because he fired at them first. They left Mr, Evans for dead, ond there was a ‘movement to throw him overboard to ensure his death, but the taajority decided to leave - him on the boat. The Admiral of the Guard Boats was ordered to. pay $12,000 of the indemnity—t Mrs: Evans, but. he is said te have. banded that responsibility over to his chief officer, saying. that he could easily cover it in twelve montha by the money taken from gamblers. T'wo. local taandarins will have to pay $4,000 cach, It is to be hoped that the woman who gave the informa- tion will receive the reward of $1,060, os it will tend to promote the security of foreigners in the interior if such informants are actually poid the promised rewards. The ‘natives in the district are said {o be very ui that the men have been arrested. — : ‘FISHING-BOATS .BLOWN OUT-"T0- SHA. —— ‘ SIXTEEN MEN PICKED UP, Captain W.

We hare had seseral estimates, and from thy aggregate of | them the ‘figure, ts closs as poxsicle, is about $200,008 aud the work would take two. aud a half years todo. Now, with regard 10 Captain Anderson's’ contention that the Company uow- has sufficient Inad ayd a gu table site ;for any required extonsion of .our , docking facilities, {cau only refer you - to’.my spovel, quotingystho decision of pructical engineers, who, override any views which .the directors may have; and thut gives o- practiosl tactical answor to your assertions. 1 think Mr. Michnel made reference in hig speech to the ucquisition of the Jand now on terms. to tvhich we have nat attached saything in the way of a mbsidy from the Government. L was not on the board when there negotiations originated or when the scheme first came up; but I hare since learned, from what [ can gather. that tha Gonditions attached at that time by the Govern: ment .rare'so onerous and so burdensome that a new dock built under the demands laid down | by the Government would prac‘ically not have enabled us to call it a commercial concorn at all ; and before the*board wonld consent to these burdgnvome couditions they said, “ Pay us a certain amount of money which will engnre to our shar&holders a yeturm on tho money and then we will consent.” Thatis the reason: What we want now is to acquire {he land, aud when we have built the dock, to build-it on a com-, mercial basis, That, I think and I hope, will prokably nnawer the qyestion as regards the changed conditions in our dealings with the Government, Mr. Lewis. wos onthe board at that time. I think.” RO Sots Mr, Lewis--Yes, that is so. : = The CHAIRMAN—Well, gentlemen, I will vot detain you inach longer, It was not my intention to go into.details that could be con- sidered afterwards if. we decided to ga nhead with the écheme; the detaiis of the amount. to be expended and how it would be expsnded conld be modea matter for future consideration | by the board. 3 would only like to question one little item in Mr. Michael's speech, I am giad that he agrees with me in one thing, that the Company to-day is very strong, and that our position isso strong that.we could defy} . competition and carry-on, My views on that subject. are; tho stronger the competition is the longer we can defy it; -but you aro not going to met the dividends in dofying that competition that we are all so anxious to got, and the only means of continuing’ prospor- ously and ting all competition. is to place ourselves in o p’sition o do work more quickly and more cheaply, and then we can fight com- -petition. Now, gentlemen, I do not think there Sa any thing farthor-to—be said unless’ some of | the shareholders would suggest approaching the Government again for come modification of the terms. The ques‘ion iss very important one, There aretwo sides to avery question and both sides of this question are worthy of serions consideration, . Both cannot be wrong and both esnnot be right Now, is the question to your minds serious enough (o mxk» up your minds upon it to-day for all time ?* Would. you like to dispose of ‘the quastion to-day and simply decline it or have you anythivg to suggest whereby the two schemes, for instance, might | be considered a little lougar; er views put | forward, and possibly .some compromise. ba arrived at whereby the future welfare of the Company will bé. safsguarded.* If any share- holder in the body of the hall could suggest anything in the way of a.compromise even if it involves an nljournment for a day or a couple of days I would be-quite willing to adjourn tho | mevting for a couple of days; but ¥ would like tha suggestion to come from the bodz of the hall as if is only with the best interests ofthe Company at heart that I om now anxious thet the question. should be settled to-day for all time.
