Different accounts state that the Russians from Fenghuangcheng and other paints are now concentrating at Liaoyang, thus restrict- ing the field of operations.

His Excellency said,Gentlemen, I have listened to the speech of the hon, senior mem. ber for the Chinese with a great deal of interest, and it affords me a great deal of gratification to find that both he and his colleague are able to support this Bill. When I received the peti- tion asking for this legislation I recognised that it was a somewhat delicate subject, that legis lation of this kind might perhaps bear the ap- pearance of what has been called class legisla tion.

Community, and he believed his colleague also, agreed to offer no appoition to the Bill, but would be glad to consent to a measure by which the health and happiness of a large section of the European community would be promoted--the section upon which prosperity and well-being of the Colony so much depends, and by yielding them the prisoiple of this Bill they were really promoting not their welfare, but the welfare of the whole of the Colony, So far they did not propose to offer any opposi tion to the Bill, but as he was there represent. ing the Chinese-the Chinese community, of course, had something to say to the Bill. In order to ascertain their views-those of the leading members only-manifestly it was im possible for them or for the Government even to ascertain the views of the Chinese in general, nor did he think it was imparative or necessary to do so-line leading Chinese had held a series of meetings to consider the Hill, and the result of it was that after three meetings, they were instructed or were informed by resolution not to oppose this Bill because they had had the reasons explained to them and they thought,

temperature and environment which are to them unnatural-conditions of life such as are to be found in all tropical countries, and which are at all times trying to those who are forced to live in the lower levels of tropical places. But he pointed out that inconvenience and that danger which exist everywhere are accentuated in this island of Hongkong by the necessity which arises from the restricted area which compels the dense population to live together closely crowded. So far as he could see it was undesirable that the lower levels should he under this unenviable necessity, which is due Exports.

Of course, with regard to the imports, the names given afford no real clue to the real origin of the articles imported and so Singapore and Hongkong, the ports of trans-shipment, are given the lion's share the same thing applying in no small degree to the exports.

Bill should certain terms of the Bill be altered. He thought his colleague and himself would be justified in offering no opposition to the Bill, and expressed the hope that in com. mittee he would have a fair hearing. The Hon. Wei Yuk concurred.
AN EXPLANATION.
The Hon. Mr. Pollock said Your Excel leocy, I have very much pleasure now in sup porting this Bill and perhaps as I was one of the gentlemen who were approached in con- nection' with the drafting of the petition from owners of property at the Peak, the pention upon which the present Bill is founded, I may state, Sir, that there was no intention at all on the part of the inovers in this of introducing anything in the way of class legislation against the Chinese. The grounds upon which we moved were simply, and soldly the question of the public health. We recognised, as the bon. and learned Attorney General has pointed out, that it was imperative in this Colony, under tropical and somewhat unnatural conditions under which we live here, that there should be
some reservation on the higher levels for Eu-
ropeans and their wives and families. I think, ir, that those members of this Council who have been here like myself during the past 16 or 17 years will realise how much the Peak has been developed since the tramway went up there. You, sir, wit no doubt remember that before the Peak Tramway was opened-which was as long ago as May, 1888-there were only a very few houses up at the Peak, and apart from the few at Magezine Gap which were lived in all the year round, those few who lived on what we may call the Peak proper never lived there except in the summer, but came down in the winter. Since the tram has come all that has been altered. There has been what may be termed a regular
RUSH OF NON-CHINESE UP TO THE PEAK
cially so in tropical countries, as this one is, This crowding goes on every day, and will continue to go on, The vast majority of the people who come here-of Chinese pen, le, at all events-have never lived on the upper levels above the 70 feet contour, and therefore the Government in casting about for an area that is desirable and necessary for a reserva- tion area have determined upon fixing on a | locality which has never hitherto been occupied by: Chinese. Therefore, we propose by this Bl to reserve an area within the Peak limit In the tonnage of 1903 Germany easily takes which will be free from the speculative builder, first place with 323,400 against Britain's because as the pressure goes on from year to 60,654, Norway's 87,261 and France with 9,518 year it may come to pass that houses that have The principal features of the year are the not so far existed there-tenement hou es- increase of 16 German vessels and the decrease may in future find their way to the Peak.

In conclusion it may be remarked that the the Chinese would be compo'led to ive there entire collection of statistics, caviare though an introduce the conditions that are 'undesir they may be to the general reader, are of such able and which now exist below.

until at the present day, as it is well known, the sites which are available for fresh houses to be built at the Peak, especially in view of the land which has very properly been reserved, is very limited indeed. Therefore i think the hon. and learned Attorney-General might have spoken even more strongly than he did, for not merely is it undesirable that there should be any rush up to the Peak, but one may see that in the course of a few years? time it would be a very difficult thing indeed for Europeans at the Peak to obtain any fresh sites. As I have said there has been a regular rush of Europeans up
workers. There are no idle drones in this Colony, and a man will work better, for him
self first no doubt, but after all in the interests of the Colony in the long run, when he himself and, if married, his wife and family, are in good health. It also enables Europeans to keep their families in the Colony instead of undergoing the expense and the anxiety of a separation which would be necessitated and was necessitated in the past before they found this men at the Peak where one enjoys a more or less temperate climate The hon.
CONCESSIONS,
senior member for the Chinese has mentioned that there is a minority who still do not view this Bill with favour. Well, I would only remind that minority of the various Statutes on the Statute Book by which privileges are accorded to the Chinese community that are not accorded to the European community. 1 would remind them of the constant endeavour of this Government, supported by the willing co-operation of the members of this Council, and the constant efforts made for the welfare of the Chinese community. One of the last Ordinances we passed was a Bill by which this Council amended the law relating to cubicles. Now the cub cle is a thing that touches the Chinese community very nearly, and we have been advised by our sanitary advisers not to have any cubicles at all in Chinese tenement houses; but this hon. Council, recognising that to enforce such a law in its entirely would entail great hardship on the community, modified it by allowing a certain number of cubicles as a minimum in each house. I simply mention that as an indication of concessions made by the Govern- ment, supported by this Council, in the interests of the Chinese community as a whole, and there- fure in the interests of this Colony as a whole. The hon. senior Chinese member has indicated that he has certain amendments to move in
committee, and all I can say is I have no doubl they will receive the very earnest consideration
of this Council; and if we can meet his wishes in any way it will afford us a great deal of pleasure to do so. (Applause.)
The second reading was carried, and the Council went into Committee on the Bill.
Hon. Dr. Ho Kai proposed that section 3 be deleted and that there be substituted for it a clause to the effect that after the passing of the Ordinance, and subject to all previous reserva- tions, it shall be lawful for Chinese to reside in any locality below the 788 feet contour, and,
with the consent of the Governor in Council, but not otherwise, in any locality within the Peak district. There were many Chinese, he Said, who objected to the warding of the
ruse. In this proposed amendment of his the prin iple of the Bill was retained and there could be no reasonable offence in its wording. The old reservations were excepted and the consent of the Governor in Council was neces sary. He did not think there could be any objection to the substitution.
Sect on 3 was as follows:-After the passing of this Ordinance the Hill District shall be re- served as a place of residence for persons other than Chinese, and no Chinese shall, except as hereinafter provided, reside within the limits of the said District,
His Excellency said he did not know that the Government would go so far as to allow Chin- ese to live anywhere beyond the other reserva- Lions; still more reservations might become necessary as the Colony developed.
Hon. Dr. Ho Kai argued that in that case the new laws would annul this one.
The Attorney-General said that what Dr. Ho Kai proposed was exactly what the Bill pro- vided: it was a distinction without a difference If the purpose of the Bill could be served there was no necessity to insist upon any particular form of words. He propised to strike out clause 3 and make some alteration in clause 4, which would have the same effect. He moved that these clauses be struck out and the follow-
ing substituted as clause 3:-" That itshall not be lawful save in accordance with the provi- sions of this Ordinance for any owner, lessee, tenant or occupies of any land or of any house or building within the Hill District to let or agree to let any such land or any such house or building or any part thereof for the purpose of residence by any but non-Chinese or to permit any but non-Chinese to reside on or in any such land or house or building except in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance."
This was agreed to,
*
it shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council Clause 5 was allowed to stand as follows:-* to exempt any Chinese from the operation of this Ordinance on such terms as the Governor- in-Council shall think fit.
Constructional amendments proposed by the
Attorney-General were made in various clauses, and the Bill as altered was left for the third reading next week,
