Sections 3 and 4 of the Bill read as follows

Any such penalty may be sued for and recovered summarily under the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890. All such regulations shall be published in the Gazette and thereupon shall have the force of law,

If any person injures or defaces any ancient monuinent, rock, memorial, or inscrip- tion, which is on or upon any land reserved ür appropriated under this Ordinance as a place of popular resort and of lautiquarian interess, then such person stiall, on summary conviction before Police Magistrate, be liable at the discretion of such Magistrate to one of the following penalties, (that is to say),(1.) To pay a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, and in addition thereto to pay such sum as the Magistrate may think just for the purpose of repairing any damage which has been caused by the offender; or (2.) To be imprisoned with out hard labour for any term not exceeding one. month.
Dr. Eitel in the "History of Hongkong" (at pages 129 and jo) makes the following allusion to the spat in question :--
The policy of Russia in annexing, leasing, or asserting a sphere of influence in the tens are identical-Manchuria demands that Port Arthur should be made into a place of refuge and ultimately a base for her naval force in the Far East. That every effort would be made to fulfil these conditions was absolutely cer tain. Will tome one explain why we want either a refuge er n fortified base at Wei- haj-wei? If our fleet holds command of the Gulf of Pechili, it will, presumably, protect Wei-hai-wel. Ific is not capable of asserting its command in these waters, it would be lunacy to send it there. Our yital interests in China lie hundreds of miles south of Wei-hai- wei, and I sincerely hope that nothing will be done to commit us to the passive defence of this very indifferent harbour. To take this step would imply adding largely to the great forces already absorbed by sedentary duties, subtract ing from the offensive power which would be the first essential in war, and dangerously enfeebling the action of our Navy,

In the eyes of such traders it is, of course, a mere detail that all these excursions from their legitimate province enoreach still further upon the already sufficiently precarious position of the retail bookseller. In these enlightened times the weakest must always-go-1892-Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders left to the wall, whether booksellers or anybody else. And it must be confessed that now-a- days when the power of advertisement is well nigh supreme, the newspaper people, who are not too nicely scrupulous, possess unique and inexpensive facilities in this direction, and are ilus equipped with an advantage which the most prosperous publisher or the most enterprising bookseller is quite unable to equal.
"As to the history of Hongkong previous to
very little is known. There is, however, on the Kowloon peninsula, and within British territory, an ancient rock-inscription, on a large loose lying granite boulder, which crowns the summit of a circular hill, jutting out into the sea, close to the village of Matauchung directly west of Kowloon city. This inscription, consisting of three Chinese characters (Sung Wong Tong "Hail of a King of the Sung") arranged horizontally, was originally cut about half an inch deep in the northern face of the boulder. The Chinese Government believe it to be a genuine incription, about boo years old. The original characters, having become nearly effaced in course of time, were renewed at the beginning of the present century (1807) by order of the Viceroy of Canton, the date of this restoration being recorded by separate inscription the characters of which are arranged perpendicularly. The memories attaching to this inscription and to the whole hill which still shows the outlines of the original entrenchments, are so sacred in the eyes of Chinese officials and literati, that excavations and quarrying were prohibited in that locality, under the severest penalties. When the peninsula was leased and subsequently ceded to the British Crown, the Chinese Government specially stipulated that the rock-inscription and the whole hill should renmain untouohed. Never-Encyclopedia Britannica," which, as all our theless, quarrying has occasionally been attempted there since the locality came into British possession.
Chinese history states that, when the Sung Dynasty was overturned by the invasion of the Mongols under Kublai Khan, who subsequently seated himself on the throne of China (A,D, 1980), the last Emperor of the Sung Dynasty then a young child, was driven with the Imperial Court to the south of China and finally compelled to take refuge on board ship, when he continued his flight, accompanied by a small fleet. Coast. ing along from Foochów, past Amoy and Swatow, he passed (about 1278 A.D.) through the Ly ee-moon into the waters of Hongkong. After on Kowloon

Within a few months previous to this event, the Imperial Court had rested for a while in the little bay of Kowloon, called Matauchung, Tradition says that Kowloon city and the present hamlets of Matauchung and Malauwai were not in existence at the time, and that the Imperial troops were encamped for a time on the hill now marked by the inscription, whilst the Court were lodged in a roughly-constructed wooden palace erected at a short distance from the beach on the other side of Matauchung creek, at a place now marked by a temple, There, it is said, the last Emperor of the Sung resided for a while, on ground now British and
For the moment the public may be, at tracted and fascinated by the supposed ad 'vantages presented to them, but they will we fancy, discover liefore very long that no enterprising or successful trader is really a philanthropist, however well he may act the part, and that when the mood has passed away and the whole affair is scen in its true light, it will be found that the wonderful bargain offer. ed was no bargain at all, and that, after all, the old ways are often more solidly advantageous.
In the instance of the Times reprint of the
renders know, lias bean so industriously boom ad, as the most wonderful literary bargain ever offered, it appears from a statement in the A- Arnaum, signed by the leading Booksellers' Associations that the gilt on the gingerbread is not thereatall. Indeed, the sole advantage which the new system offers is the opportunity of pur- chasing for sixteen guineas and cost of carriage, a reprint, inferior in paper, print, and binding, of the legitimate edition, formerly obtainable in the ordinary way of trade for £18 carriage paid. The actual difference in price is, it will be seen, very much less than is represented, and when everything is taken into consideration, scarcely on the side of the buyer.
