THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28TH, 1914.
We propose to exempt certain vessels. If you look at the memorandum attached to the Colonial Becretary's letter you will see that in clause a we propose, to exempt. certain vessels as long as they do not take up passengers at Hongkong for Canton or porte intermediate between Hongkong and Shanghai. As regard b, after fur- ther consideration, I may say that wa are prepared to be satisfied with four guards instead of six on vessels trading between Hongkong and Kwong Chau Wan in addition to the ports mentioned in b. As to e, from what I have already. said, you will understand why we con sider it essential. Regarding d, which is the precaution re the steering gear, we consider that that may be deleted. You will understand from what I have said why we consider clause e necessary. Also, we have made concession under by which baggage which has been already. grilled off from the passengers need not be separately grilled off. A point was made of the inconvenience to passengers caused by grilling off certain alleyways. All I can say is, that inconvenience to passengers cannot be weighed against tho. great danger to the public if these pre- cautions are not taken.

Hon Mr HEWETT-As I had the pri vilege of hearing your Excellency discusa. this question this morning and the argu- ments now brought forward before us, it gave me an opportunity, I am very glad to say, to consult with three or four of the leading firms.

The only point to which I would direct your Ex cellency's attention is the considerable number of steamers travelling between Hoihow and Tientsin and putting in at various coast ports which carry a large amount of Chinese cargo, and also a cer- tain number of Chinese passengers. It would absolutely debar these ships from carrying Chinese passengers if these very onerons regulations were put upon them That is to say, a ship may make a voyage from Kwong Chau Wan to Hongkong carrying so many guards and so on for really a 24 hours section of the journey. and this would simply drive all ships out of the coolic traffic. As we know, a certain number of Chinese must travel backwards and forwards. There are others again U whe travel from one const port to another
