THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH
The Hongkong Bank.
ITS ORIGIN AND ITS HISTORY,
SPEECH BY SÍR. THOS, JACKSON."
The first annual dinner of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was held the Lmpire Roémi, Trocidere, on 18th ult. Sir Thomas Jackson, Bart, who presided, bed on his right H.E. Lord Li Ching-fang (the Chinese Minister), nod on his left the Japanese Commercial Attache (Mr. Wakatsuki).
M. Stolypin said, the creation of a new foot, which the Tsar had ordered, was im possible if reproaches continued to be level-been contially honoured, the Chairman Tub led at the so-called Tsushima department. If money was refused for the fleet, the pool tion of Russia would be lowered. Nations to hit hard blows must show vitailty by striving with energy and eagerness for re generation.
Later,
A duel has taken place between General Fock and General Smirnoff over a dispute concerning the convictions of the Port Arthur Court-martial.
General Smirnoff was severely wounded.
The toast of His Majesty the mitted the toast" The Bank "To the following terms Your Excellency Lord Li and Gentle men,We are, Sir, first and foremost a China bank, and we esteem it a very great favour that you should have honoured us with your pro sence here to-night. (Cheers.) Taking all the years sugether, I spent about 33 ie, China, no that after all, perhaps, I have a claim upon
ou; and seven years were also spent in Japan, so that I also have a claim upon any honoured guest from Japan on my left. (Cheers,) in fact, I am among frieds, (Chicars.) The toast I have to propose is "The Bank." The start of the Hoogkung Bank was very peculiar, it arose out of a tremendous speculative boom that existed in Bumbay in 1864, when Snancial re-companies, land reclamation companies, banks, and all sorts of things were staffed at a tremen dous pace. But the good people of Bombay, in addition, to exploiting their own counts, cast their eyes toward China and said, 'We are going to start a Bank al China with its head office in Hongkong." Well,
The Trouble in Hayti... The Government of Hayti hes replied to the foreign representations granjing their quest to allow refugees to leave the country, but insisting that the Consulates shall not be permitted to become asylums.
The Bank of Persia.
Sir Thomas Jackson, Bart, has accepted the chairmanship of the Bank of Persia.

Well, if history is correct, there were more falan prophets than that poor old Johnny in Hongkong With all our troubles and trials, to which I have alluded, we had a great asset In our manager in Shanghai. Through Wil that time David McLein rendered is splendid service. (Cheers.) Shanghai at that time was to back managers what South Africa baj fa- cently been to generals, a grave of repulations Not only that, but I think hi is on record that the Duke of Somerest spoke of Shanghai as
sink of iniquity," Well, ⠀⠀⠀
OUR EXPERIENCE OF BILANGHAI has been very different. It was simply, mare vellons how Mr. McLean through all those times steered us clear of losses. Instead of calling it a sink of iniquity," we can call it the brightest jewal in our crown. (Hear, hear.} We had an excellent Compradore in Shanghai, very much respected by all those who served with him, who accounted for, the fact that when others rated losing heavily escaped unharmed, by saying, "Truly Joss take care of this bank. (Lachig) All those of us who have been benefited by the prosperity of the Hongkong Bank must look back with gratitude to what, Mr. McLean did for us in those early days in Shanghai, And when be left luck did not desert us, because his manile fell upon a man whose name I have only to mention to arouse your laterest and enthusiasm-Ewan Cameroo, (Loud cheeri.)
