I observed that the shipment of coolies from Hongkong to the Straits and elsewhere had been going on for years;

that this Convention in no way forbade the extension of the practice to South Africa; and that if difficulties were created by the Viceroy emigration from Kuangtung under the Convention must cease.

His Excellency rejoined that he did not wish to place difficulties in the way: he simply desired to keep within the terms of the Convention, which did not mention Hong-Kong, and he could not recommend any variance of those terms just yet.

The rest of the text appears to be garbled and does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs. It seems to be a result of OCR errors.

After re-examining the text, I found that the garbled text is likely due to the OCR engine's failure to correctly recognize the layout and content of the original document.

I will reformat the text to preserve the original content as much as possible.
