Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.
Hongkong, 21st April, 1899. Sir,In view of the disturbances now taking place in the New Territory which there is good reason to believe have been engineered or assisted from Chinese territory, I am instructed to ask you to be good enough to lay before His Excellency the Governor the following opinions and suggestions of my Capraltee.
1--That having regard to the fict that the new territary is obviously liable to be over- run by bandits who are either not quchable to Chi se uuthority or-whang-ads-the-san darins fit convenient to ignore or disavow, it is essential to the preservation of good order in the Chlony, and to consolidate our position, that the northem boundary shall be clearly defined by natural features and include within it the tower of Shunchun.
-That recent occurrences havè convincing ly demaestrated the inutility if not the actual mischievousness of mandarin influence and furnish excellent reasons for the removal of the Chinese officials from Kowloon City, which otherwise will remain a focus of intrigue against the authority of the Hongkong
Government."

3. The Comminice would further sug gest that as the suppression of these distur bances will entail a heavy outlay, it would not be unreasonable for Her Majesty's Government to demand the extension of the lease of them so that it can be repaired at bure. By
