It has been decided to replace him in the Command on that military station by an officer of lower rank.
2. Under these circumstances, Mr. Chamberlain, with the concurrence of Mr. Brodrick, has decided that it is desirable to appoint someone to discharge the duties of Commissioner at Wei Hai Wei, and that the Officers Commanding the troops shall cease to act as Commissioner except in the contingencies provided for in Section 13, sub-section 3 of the Wei Hai Wei Order in Council, 1901.
3. Mr. Chamberlain proposes to submit to His Majesty the name of Mr. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, for appointment to the vacant Commissionership. Mr. Lockhart has been a member of the Hong Kong Government Service since 1878-9, and for thirteen years was Registrar General of that Colony. In that capacity, Mr. Lockhart, who is a Chinese scholar of great ability, was entrusted with the relations between the Government and the Chinese community, and it is felt that the experience gained in that office will be of the greatest service to him in the administration of Wei Hai Wei.
