Many of these were constructed in the hope that Hongkong would become a Commercial Emporium. Now these ideas are proved to have been visionary. The value of these buildings will be considerably deteriorated; indeed, it is humored that some will be left untenanted. Estimating the assessable property as high as $800,000, at 8 percent per annum, this would yield £8000 a year, for which a large Police force may be maintained.\n\nTo determine whether a large Police force will prevent burglaries, robberies, and ransoms in Hongkong, past experience with the Cadet Ladrones in China shows that having numerous, almost untraceable, and indiscernible haunts in the surrounding islands and mainland will render property insecure in Hongkong. As incendiaries are at work, organizing in bands with firearms, it is very probable that life itself will be rendered insecure and constantly jeopardized.\n\nThe duties of the Harbour Master are now more onerous than ever, as the outlook is fraught with danger. The maintenance of an efficient Police force is essential. The duties of the Marine Magistrate ought, as in other Colonies, to be performed by the Naval and Magisterial Authorities. The present Harbour Master has worked hard for nearly four years and would make a useful Officer at the Cape, Hobart, or Adelaide; his Assistant is well acquainted with Hongkong and its neighborhood. With an efficient boat and crew, the charges might be reduced to a third of their present amount.\n\nPage information remains as is for the original scanned page delineation.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-015 - Others - 1845.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 222988, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-015 - Others - 1845", "page_number": 197, "title": "CO129-015 - Others - 1845", "content_text": "\"I think that he 'Brussels supues\n\n77777\n\nSatta\n\nthe\n\nJe kush bis dessier iste I believe stry wisepil\n\nand unchubtals of\n\nмен ниче\n\n\"\n\nwhen sufficient to perform the duty it was the a bum-simple \"for\n\nthe at We will\n\nHome Sliper l'estul pea hef mit mesta\n\nДышие\n\nSupps Musty, case & pretime temps.\n\nReceded by\n\n123\n\nI do not think W.

Exactly;\n\nthirdly because if a demand springs up it will induce the Coast grown Duge ars to be brought down to tw and repacked here for export, to the great benefit of the Colony. Fokien arc sugars are 10 to 12% cheaper than those of this province, and could readily be brought down by coasting junks, or such as especially by the foreign vessels coming in ballast.\n\nI accordingly look upon the following as the more prominent advantages which Hongkong will derive from the new trade with the West: first, a great influx of the shipping of all nations; secondly, that some of the staple exports, such as sugar, bartered for ... will be brought to Hong Kong and that it will become a dépôt of constantly growing sugars for the Californian markets; thirdly, that the manufacture of some of the articles required for the Western Markets, hitherto confined to Canton, will spring up here; such as hongersilk, lacquered ware, and coarse porcelain manufacture.\n\nLooking forward to some twenty years hence, I think Hongkong will be the chief Port of supply for the considerable Chinese population about to spring up on the Western shores of the Pacific. A steady and considerable emigration from China to the West coast of North and South America has already set in, and a great dearth of labor is felt all along the West coast from Valparaiso to Sima and the Mexican sea-board, owing to such numbers of the working population.\n\nPage 343", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-034 - Sir Bonham - 1850 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 232437, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-040 - General Jervois - 1852 [3-12]", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-040 - General Jervois - 1852 [3-12]", "content_text": "No 32.\n\nExcenting.\n\nAcc. 100\n\nb832 Hong Kong\n\nRECEIVED\n\nJULY. 22\n\n1852\n\nMy Lord,\n\n26 Victoria Hongkong,\n\n5th May, 1852\n\nI have the honor to report to your Lordship that the Resident Councillor of Singapore, in a communication to Sir George Bonham of the 2nd February last, announced the destruction of a British vessel named the \"Herald\" on the South coast of Java in November last, as referred to in Sir George Bonham's Despatch No 15 of 26th February 1852.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

By virtue of the power and authority vested in us, we hereby revoke, as from and after the thirtieth day of September 1858, the Regulations made and published by us on the first day of May 1852, relating to the Lights to be carried by Sea-going Vessels to prevent collision: And we hereby make the following Regulations, and require and direct that the same be strictly observed and carried into effect on and after the first day of October, 1858.\n\n### STEAM VESSELS.\n\nAll Sea-going Steam Vessels, when under Steam, shall, between sunset and sunrise, exhibit the following Lights;\n\n1. A bright White Light at the Foremast Head.\n2. A Green Light on the Starboard side,\n3. A Red Light on the Port side.\n\n2. The Mast-head Light shall be so constructed as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least 5 miles, and shall show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 20 points of the compass, and it shall be so fixed as to throw the light 10 points on each side of the ship, viz: from right ahead to 2 points abaft the beam on either side.\n\n3. The Green Light on the Starboard side and the Red Light on the Port side shall be so constructed as to be visible on a dark night with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least 2 miles, and show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the compass, and they shall be so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to 2 points abaft the beam on the Starboard and on the Port sides respectively.\n\n4. The Side Lights are to be fitted with inboard screens projecting at least 3 feet forward from the light, so as to prevent the light from being seen across the bow.\n\n5. Steam Vessels under Sail only are not to carry their Masthead Light.\n\n### Fog Signals.\n\nAll Sea-going Steam Vessels, whether propelled by paddles or screws, when their steam is up, and when under way, shall in all cases of Fog use as a Fog Signal a Steam Whistle, placed before the Funnel at not less than 8 feet from the deck, which shall be sounded once at least every five minutes; but when the steam is not up, they shall use a Fog Horn or Bell, as ordered for Sailing Ships.\n\n### SAILING VESSELS.\n\n1. All Sea-going Sailing Vessels when under way or being towed shall between sunset and sunrise exhibit a Green Light on the Starboard side and a Red Light on the Port side of the vessel, and such Lights shall be so constructed as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least 2 miles, and shall show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the compass, from right a-head to 2 points abaft the beam on the Starboard and on the Port sides respectively.\n\n2. The Coloured Lights shall be fixed whenever it is practicable so to exhibit them; and shall be fitted with inboard screens projecting at least 3 feet forward from the Light, so as to prevent the Lights being seen across the bow.\n\n3. When the Coloured Lights cannot be fixed (as in the case of small vessels in bad weather), they shall be kept on deck between sunset and sunrise, and on their proper sides of the vessel ready for instant exhibition, and shall be exhibited in such a manner as can be best seen on the approach of, or to, any other vessel or vessels, in sufficient time to avoid collision, and so that the Green Light shall not be seen on the Port side, nor the Red Light on the Starboard side.\n\n### Fog Signals.\n\nAll Sea-going Sailing Vessels when under way, shall, in all cases of Fog, use when on the Starboard Tack a Fog Horn, and when on the Port Tack shall Ring a Bell. These signals shall be sounded once at least every five minutes.\n\n### SAILING PILOT VESSELS\n\nare to carry only a white Light at the Mast-head, and are to exhibit a Flare-up Light every 15 minutes, in accordance with Trinity House regulation.\n\n### VESSELS AT ANCHOR.\n\nAll Sea-going Vessels when at anchor in roadsteads or fairways shall, between sunset and sunrise, exhibit where it can best be seen, but at a height not exceeding 20 feet above the hull, a White Light in a Globular Lantern of 8 inches in diameter, and so constructed as to show a clear, uniform, and unbroken light all round the horizon, at a distance of at least 1 mile.\n\nGiven under our hands this 24th day of February 1858.\n\nBy Command of their Lordships,\n\n**W. G. ROMAINE, Secretary.**\n\n**CHARLES WOOD.**\n\n**R. S.

and the Court may, on being satisfied of the Truth of the Allegations of such Petition, reverse the Decree accordingly, but the Reversal thereof shall not prejudice or affect the Rights or Remedies which any other Person would have had in case such Reversal had not been decreed, in respect of any Debts, Contracts, or Acts of the Wife incurred, entered into, or done between the Times of the Sentence of Separation and of the Reversal thereof.\n\n### XXIV. \n\nIn all Cases in which the Court shall make any Decree or Order for Alimony, it may direct the same to be paid either to the Wife herself or to any Trustee on her Behalf, to be approved by the Court, and may impose any Terms or Restrictions which to the Court may seem expedient, and may from Time to Time appoint a new Trustee, if for any Reason it shall appear to the Court expedient so to do.\n\n### XXV. \n\nIn every Case of a Judicial Separation the Wife shall, from the Date of the Sentence and whilst the Separation shall continue, be considered as a Feme Sole with respect to Property of every Description which she may acquire or which may come to or devolve upon her; and such Property may be disposed of by her in all respects as a Feme Sole, and on her Decease the same shall, in case she shall die intestate, go as the same would have gone if her Husband had been then dead; provided, that if any such Wife should again cohabit with her Husband, all such Property as she may be entitled to when such Cohabitation shall take place shall be held to her separate Use, subject, however, to any Agreement in Writing made between herself and her Husband whilst separate.\n\n### XXVI. \n\nIn every Case of a Judicial Separation the Wife shall, whilst so separated, be considered as a Feme Sole for the Purposes of Contract, and Wrongs and Injuries, and suing and being sued in any Civil Proceeding; and her Husband shall not be liable in respect of any Engagement or Contract she may have entered into, or for any wrongful Act or Omission by her, or for any Costs she may incur as Plaintiff or Defendant; provided, that where upon any such Judicial Separation Alimony has been decreed or ordered to be paid to the Wife, and the same shall not be duly paid by the Husband, he shall be liable for Necessaries supplied for her Use; provided also, that nothing shall prevent the Wife from joining, at any Time during such Separation, in the Exercise of any joint Power given to herself and her Husband.\n\n### XXXIII. \n\nAny Husband may, either in a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage or for Judicial Separation, or in a Petition limited to such Object only, claim Damages from any Person on the Ground of his having committed Adultery with the Wife of such Petitioner, and such Petition shall be served on the alleged Adulterer and the Wife, unless the Court shall dispense with such Service, or direct some other Service to be substituted; and the Claim made by every such Petition shall be heard and tried on the same Principles, in the same Manner, and subject to the same or the like Rules and Regulations as Actions for Criminal Conversation are now tried and decided in Courts of Common Law; and all the Enactments herein contained with reference to the Hearing and Decision of Petitions to the Court shall, so far as may be necessary, be deemed applicable to the Hearing and Decision of Petitions presented under this Enactment; and the Damages to be recovered on any such Petition shall in all Cases be ascertained by the Verdict of a Jury, although the Respondents or either of them may not appear; and after the Verdict has been given the Court shall have Power to direct in what Manner such Damages shall be paid or applied, and to direct that the whole or any Part thereof shall be settled for the Benefit of the Children (if any) of the Marriage, or as a Provision for the Maintenance of the Wife.\n\n### XXXIV. \n\nWhenever in any Petition presented by a Husband the alleged Adulterer shall have been made a Co-Respondent, and the Adultery shall have been established, it shall be lawful for the Court to order the Adulterer to pay the whole or any Part of the Costs of the Proceedings.\n\n### XXXV. \n\nIn any Suit or other Proceeding for obtaining a Judicial Separation or a Decree of Nullity of Marriage, and on any Petition for dissolving a Marriage, the Court may from Time to Time, before making its final Decree, make such interim Orders, and may make such Provision in the final Decree, as it may deem just and proper with respect to the Custody, Maintenance, and Education of the Children the Marriage of whose Parents is the Subject of such Suit or other Proceeding, and may, if it shall think fit, direct proper Proceedings to be taken for placing such Children under the Protection of the Court of Chancery.\n\n### XXXVI. \n\nIn Questions of Fact arising in Proceedings under this Act it shall be lawful for, but except as herein-before provided, not obligatory upon, the Court to direct the Truth thereof to be determined before itself, or before any One or more of the Judges of the said Court, by the Verdict of a Special or Common Jury.\n\n### XXXVII. \n\nThe Court, or any Judge thereof, may make all such Rules and Orders upon the Sheriff or any other Person for procuring the Attendance of a Special or Common Jury for the Trial of such Question as may now be made by any of the Superior Courts of Common Law at Westminster, and may also make any other Orders which to such Court or Judge may seem requisite; and every such Jury shall consist of Persons possessing the like Qualifications, and shall be struck, summoned, balloted for, and called in like Manner, as if such Jury were a Jury for the Trial of any Cause in any of the said Superior Courts; and every Juryman so summoned shall be entitled to the same Rights, and subject to the same Duties and Liabilities, as if he had been duly summoned for the Trial of any such Cause in any of the said Superior Courts; and every Party to any such Proceeding shall be entitled to the same Rights as to Challenge and otherwise as if he were a Party to any such Cause.\n\n### XXXVIII. \n\nWhen any such Question shall be so ordered to be tried such Question shall be reduced into Writing in such Form as the Court shall direct, and at the Trial the Jury shall be sworn to try the said Question, and a true Verdict to give thereon according to the Evidence; and upon every such Trial the Court or Judge shall have the same Powers, Jurisdiction, and Authority as any Judge of any of the Superior Courts sitting at Nisi Prius.\n\nPage 183", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 245472, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-069 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 551, "title": "CO129-069 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "# COLONIAL ESTIMATES-HONGKONG\n## EXPENDITURE DETAILED\n\n# COLONIAL ESTIMATES-HONGKONG\n## EXPENDITURE DETAILED\n### FIXED ESTABLISHMENTS\n### PROVISIONAL AND TEMPORARY\n### TOTAL\n\n## CLERK OF COUNCILS\n### SALARIES\n| Position | £ | d. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Clerk of Councils | 200 | 0 |\n| First Clerk, Acc | 200 | 0 |\n| Second Clerk and Accountant | 280 | 0 |\n| Third Clerk | ... | ... |\n| First Shroff | ... | ... |\n| Second Shroff | ... | ... |\n| Messenger | 26 | ... |\n\n### ALLOWANCES\nNil\n\n### CONTINGENCIES\n| Item | £ | d. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Incidental Expenses | 1710 | 0 |\n\n## TREASURER\n### SALARIES\n| Position | £ | d. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Treasurer | 400 | 0 |\n\n### ALLOWANCES\nNil\n\n### CONTINGENCIES\n| Item | £ | d. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Stationery | ... | ... |\n| Office Furniture | ... | ... |\n| Incidental Expenses | ... | ... |\n\n## AUDITOR\n### SALARIES\n| Position | £ | d. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Auditor General | 300 | 0 |\n| Clerk | 150 | 0 |\n| Messenger | 15 | 2 |\n\n### ALLOWANCES\nNil\n\n### CONTINGENCIES\n| Item | £ | d. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Printing Moiety of Government Gazette | 15 | 0.7 |\n| Do.

Napier caused the two howitzers of Captain Govan's battery to be brought up to within 50 yards of the gate, in order more speedily to create a breach, and a space sufficient to admit one man had just been made when our storming party (now joined by the head-quarters' wing of 67th, under Colonel Knox) who had partly crossed by the French bridge and partly swum over, forced their way in by single file in the most gallant manner, Lieut. Rogers, 44th Regiment, and Lieut. Burslem, 67th Regiment, being the first to enter, when they assisted in planting the regimental colours of the 67th, carried by Ensign Chaplin, who first planted them on the breech (assisted by Private Lane, 67th Regiment), and subsequently on the cavalier, which he was the first to mount. At the same moment the French effected their entrance, and the garrison was driven back step by step, and hurled pell-mell through the embrasures on the opposite side.\n\nHere the same obstacles which had impeded our advance, obstructed their retreat; in addition to two wet ditches and two belts of pointed bamboo stakes, there was swampy ground, and a third ditch and bank.\n\nThe storming parties opened a destructive fire on them from the cavalier, and this was enhanced by the cannister fire of Captain Govan's guns which had been moved to the left of the fort for this purpose.\n\nThe ground outside the fort was literally strewn with the enemy's dead and wounded: three of the Chinese were impaled on the stakes. A few fugitives reached the outer North Fort, which opened fire to cover their retreat, and was answered by the Armstrong guns with good effect.\n\nAbout an hour after this the whole of the forts on both sides of the river hauled down their war banners, and hoisted flags of truce. General Montauban and I sent each an Officer to ask their meaning, and summon them to surrender, but they only received an evasive and insolent reply, and were defied to come on to the attack.\n\nAccordingly two fresh regiments, the 3d Buffs and the 8th Punjaub Infantry, having been brought up, I advanced to attack the outer North Fort. Two 8-inch guns were placed in position against it; the other siege guns could not be brought up.* The field batteries were placed at 800 yards' range on an arc encircling the left and front, the French guns on our right. Not a shot was fired by the enemy, and the Allied Infantry pushed on, crossed the ditches, and scaled the walls, without meeting any opposition; the garrison of 2,000 men being made prisoners.\n\nThis Fort was stronger than the first. They are all constructed on the same plan, being Redoubts with a thick rampart heavily armed with guns and wall pieces, and having a high cavalier facing seawards, the guns of which were all turned in towards us; they have two unfordable wet ditches, between which and the parapet sharp bamboo stakes were thickly planted, forming two belts, each about 15 feet wide, round the fort, an abattis encircling the whole, and further covered by pieces of water, which force an advance to be made only on a narrow front.\n\nTowards evening the garrisons of the South Forts were observed to be evacuating them, and detachments of English and French were passed over in ships' boats, and occupied them. There is not now the trace of an enemy near us, and the whole of the forts and entrenched camps are in our hands, containing about 400 guns, many of which are of very large calibre.\n\nIt is difficult to account for the confusion and uncertainty which seemed to pervade the enemy when the first fort fell; but it now appears that the general in command was killed, and the second in command was either killed or missing; and the confusion caused by this, together with the severe lesson received in the first fort, rendered them incapable or unwilling of further resistance.\n\nI cannot conclude this Despatch without expressing my sense of the very valuable services of Major-General Sir Robert Napier, who conducted the attack, and whose assistance has been most useful.\n\nThe service of the Artillery under Brigadier-General Crofton was most excellent; its effects I have already described.\n\nThe engineering operations were conducted by Lieutenant-Colonel Mann; and, lastly, I must bring to notice the gallant conduct of the storming party, which was commanded by Brigadier Reeves, who, himself severely wounded in three places, did not quit the field until he had conducted his men into the Fort.\n\nThe wounded were removed as soon as possible into Tang-ku, where every arrangement for their temporary reception was made by Dr. Muir, the Principal Medical Officer.\n\n*The guns of the cavalier of the captured fort were manned and turned on it.\n\nMany others, both officers and soldiers, behaved in a manner deserving of being mentioned; but want of time does not permit me to treat of it in this despatch, and on a future occasion I shall do myself the honour of bringing their names to your notice.\n\nI would also wish to inform Her Majesty's Government how cordially and sincerely our French Allies have co-operated with us, as well as the admiration I feel for their gallant conduct in the field.\n\nGeneral de Montauban has always shown every disposition to act thoroughly in concert with me, and to co-operate in every manner in his power.\n\nThe services of the gunboats will doubtless be brought to notice by the Naval Commander-in-Chief, and I beg here to record what a valuable and efficient colleague I have found in Admiral Hope, whose unwearying exertions throughout the whole campaign, and in discharging the numerous duties of transporting this large force to the seat of war have contributed greatly to the success of operations.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. HOPE GRANT, Lieut.-Gen.\n\nCommanding Her Majesty's Forces in China.\n\nThe Right Honourable\n\nThe Secretary of State for War,\n\nSIR,\n\n&c\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\nDESPATCH from Major-General Sir R. NAPIER to Sir J. Hope Grant.\n\nHead Quarters, Tang-ku, August 24, 1860.\n\nTHE 2d Division of the China Force occupied the fortified camp and village of Tang-ku on the 14th instant, and the four succeeding days were devoted to the severe labour of bridging the numerous canals which intersect and surround the work, of making raised causeways through the broad spaces of the interior which are inundated at every tide, and of making roads to the front for heavy Artillery, in preparation for advancing on the Northern Forts of Taku.\n\nHaving received the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief to commence operations against the Fort which lay nearest to my position, I advanced on the evening of the 19th a strong picket, composed as per margin, to the border of a series of canals which surround the enemy's position. The Engineers, under the direction of Lieut.-Colonel Mann, immediately commenced passages across the broad canals to my front and left. My right was comparatively open and bounded by the Peilo. Tartar village and cantonment gave some cover on the left bank. The right bank was studded with strong batteries, which, together with the nearest of the Southern Forts, were capable of giving a severe flanking fire against our line of advance. An attempt to avoid this, by making a way through a series of salt works, consisting of deep canals and broad reservoirs, which protected the enemy's right, was unsuccessful.\n\nThe labour of the night of the 19th, during which nearly my whole picket was on the working parties, advanced us to a distance of 800 yards from the Fort.\n\nOn the morning of the 20th, the Commander-in-Chief visited the positions, and the sites of the batteries were determined on.\n\nUp to this time the enemy had apparently taken no notice of our proceedings, but about 11 A.M. they opened from both of the Northern Forts, from the South Forts, and from the battery on the right bank, thus developing their whole fire. This was of material advantage in guiding my subsequent proceedings.\n\nThe fire from the Fort under attack was immediately replied to most effectively by a few rounds of Milward's Armstrong guns, at a range of 2,000 yards, and after a time the firing gradually died away, without loss on our side.\n\nDuring the night of the 20th the batteries were completed by the Engineer Department, and the remaining canals in front were bridged, so as to give access to the ground, and convert them into valuable cover.\n\nDuring this day the force was strengthened as per margin.\n\nThe Artillery for the batteries was passed to the front during the night, and placed in position before daylight, with the exception of one 8-inch gun, which got so deeply embedded in the mud that it could not be extricated until morning,\n\nAn aide-de-camp from General Collinôt informed me at dusk, on the evening of the 20th, that the French force destined to share in the attack had arrived.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 251129, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-081 - Sir Robinson - 1861 [4-7]", "page_number": 139, "title": "CO129-081 - Sir Robinson - 1861 [4-7]", "content_text": "Return of Military Prisoners confined by Sentence of Court Martial vs in Victoria Gaol, Hongkong. during the year 1860.\n\nCorps\n\n \n Names of Prisoners\n Sentence\n Admitted to Gaol\n Discharged from Gaol\n No of days\n Amount\n \n \n R.

In the following Rules every Steam Ship which is under sail and not under steam is to be considered a Sailing Ship; and every Steam Ship which is under steam, whether under sail or not, is to be considered a ship under steam.\n\nRULES CONCERNING LIGHTS.\n\nLights,\n\nArt. 2. The Lights mentioned in the following Articles, numbered 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and no others, shall be carried in all weathers, from sunset to sunrise.\n\nLights for Steam Ships.\n\nArt. 3. Sea-going Steam-ships when under weigh shall carry:\n\n(a.) At the Foremast Head, a bright White Light, so fixed as to show an uniform and unbroken Light over an arc of the horizon of 20 points of the compass; so fixed as to throw the light 10 points on each side of the ship, viz., from right ahead to 2 points abaft the beam on either side; and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least five miles:\n\n(b.) On the Starboard Side, a Green Light so constructed as to throw an uniform and unbroken Light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the compass; so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to 2 points abaft the beam on the starboard side; and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least two miles:\n\n(c) On the Port Side, a Red Light, so constructed as to show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the compass; so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to 2 points abaft the beam on the port side; and of such a character, as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least two miles:\n\n(d) The said Green and Red Side Lights shall be fitted with inboard screens, projecting at least three feet forward from the Light, so as to prevent these lights from being seen across the bow.\n\nLights for Steam Tugs.\n\nArt. 4. Steam Ships, when towing other ships, shall carry two bright White Mast-head Lights vertically, in addition to their side lights, so as to distinguish them from other Steam Ships. Each of these Mast-head Lights shall be of the same construction and character as the Mast-head Lights which other Steam-Ships are required to carry.\n\nLights for Sailing Ships.\n\nArt. 5. Sailing Ships under weigh, or being towed, shall carry the same lights as Steam Ships under weigh, with the exception of the White Mast-head Lights, which they shall never carry.\n\nExceptional Lights for small Sailing Vessels.\n\nArt. 6. Whenever, as in the case of small vessels during bad weather, the Green and Red lights cannot be fixed, these lights shall be kept on deck, on their respective sides of the vessel, ready for instant exhibition; and shall, on the approach of or to other vessels, be exhibited on their respective sides in sufficient time to prevent collision, in such manner as to make them most visible, and so that the Green light shall not be seen on the port side, nor the Red light on the starboard side.\n\nTo make the use of these portable lights more certain and easy, the lanterns containing them shall each be painted outside with the colour of the light they respectively contain, and shall be provided with suitable screens.\n\nLights for Ships at Anchor.\n\nArt. 7. Ships, whether steam ships or sailing ships, when at anchor in roadsteads or fairways, shall exhibit, where it can best be seen, but at a height not exceeding twenty-feet above the hull, a White Light, in a globular lantern of eight inches in diameter, and so constructed as to show a clear uniform and unbroken light visible all round the horizon, and at a distance of at least one mile.\n\nLights for Pilot Vessels.\n\nArt. 8. Sailing Pilot Vessels shall not carry the lights required for other sailing vessels, but shall carry a White Light at the mast head, visible all round the horizon,-and shall also exhibit a Flare-up Light every fifteen minutes.\n\nLights for Fishing Vessels and Boats.\n\nArt. 9. Open Fishing Boats and other open boats shall not be required to carry the side lights required for other vessels; but shall, if they do not carry such lights, carry a lantern having a Green Slide on the one side and a Red Slide on the other side; and on the approach of or to other vessels, such lantern shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision, so that the Green light shall not be seen on the port side, nor the Red light on the starboard side.\n\nFishing Vessels and open boats when at anchor, or attached to their nets and stationary, shall exhibit a bright White Light.\n\nFishing Vessels and open boats shall, however, not be prevented from using a Flare up in addition, if considered expedient.\n\nRULES CONCERNING FOG SIGNALS.\n\nFog Signals.\n\nArt. 10. Whenever there is fog, whether by day or night, the Fog Signals described below shall be carried and used, and shall be sounded at least every five minutes, viz. :-\n\n(a) Steam Ships under weigh shall use a Steam Whistle placed before the funnel, not less than eight feet from the deck:\n\n(b) Sailing ships under weigh shall use a Fog Horn:\n\n(c) Steam Ships and Sailing Ships when not under weigh shall use a Bell.\n\nSTEERING AND SAILING RULES.\n\nTwo Sailing Ships meeting.\n\nArt. 11. If Two Sailing Ships are meeting end on or nearly end on so as to involve risk of collision, the helms of both shall be put to port, so that each may pass on the port side of the other.\n\nTwo Sailing Ships crossing.\n\nArt. 12. When two sailing ships are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, then, if they have the wind on different sides, the ship with the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the ship with the wind on the starboard side; except in the case in which the ship with the wind on the port side is close hauled and the other ship free, in which case the latter ship shall keep out of the way; but if they have the wind on the same side, or if one of them has the wind aft, the ship which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the ship which is to leeward.\n\nTwo Ships under Steam Meeting.\n\nArt. 13. If two ships under steam are meeting end on or nearly end on so as to involve risk of collision, the helms of both shall be put to port, so that each may pass on the port side of the other.\n\nTwo Ships under Steam Crossing.\n\nArt. 14. If two ships under steam are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the ship which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way of the other.\n\nSailing Ship and Ship under Steam.\n\nArt. 15. If two ships, one of which is a sailing ship, and the other a steam ship, are proceeding in such directions as to involve risk of collision, the steam ship shall keep out of the way of the sailing ship.\n\nShips under Steam to slacken Speed.\n\nArt. 16. Every steam ship, when approaching another ship so as to involve risk of collision, shall slacken her speed, or, if necessary, stop and reverse; and every steam ship shall, when in a fog, go at a moderate speed.\n\nVessels overtaking other Vessels.\n\nArt. 17. Every vessel overtaking any other vessel shall keep out of the way of the said last-mentioned vessel.\n\nConstruction of Articles 12, 14, 15, and 17.\n\nArt. 18. Where by the above rules one of two ships is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course, subject to the qualifications contained in the following Article.\n\nProviso to save special cases.\n\nArt. 19. In obeying and construing these rules, due regard must be had to all dangers of navigation; and due regard must also be had to any special circumstances which may exist in any particular case rendering a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.\n\nNo Ship, under any circumstances, to neglect proper precautions.\n\nArt. 20. Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any ship, or the owner, or master, or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to carry lights or signals, or of any neglect to keep a proper look-out, or of the neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case.\n\nAt the Court at Windsor, the 12th day of September, 1863.\n\nPRESENT,\n\nThe QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.\n\nWHEREAS by an Order in Council for the government of Her Majesty's subjects being within the dominions of the Kings of Siam, bearing date the twenty-eighth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, Her Majesty was pleased (amongst other things) to give authority to any of Her Majesty's Consuls within the dominions of the Kings of Siam, to cause any British subject who, after having been twice convicted of, and punished for, any crime or offence, shall not be able to find good and sufficient security for his good behaviour, or who may be convicted before any such Consul of any of certain particular crimes therein enumerated to be sent out of the dominions of the Kings of Siam :\n\nAnd whereas it is expedient to make further provision against the return of any such British subject so sent out of the dominions of the Kings of Siam as aforesaid:\n\nNow, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of all the powers enabling Her in this behalf, is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:-\n\nI.

The dictionaries of Morrison, Medhurst, and Williams are as much Mandarin colloquial as mine and are yet published with the pronunciation of that dialect. Medhurst's so-called Hokien dictionary is no more Fokien than Williams' Canton Vocabulary is Mandarin, and yet nobody has ever attacked him on that ground; hence people must conclude that there is only one man in China who understands what he says about Chinese affairs, and with him wisdom is surely to die.\n\nThe supposed difficulty of distinguishing between the two pronunciations is only imaginary. Every person knows that each character is followed by two different pronunciations, of which the Punti is the first and the Mandarin the second. Unless you have the two pronunciations printed with two different characters (which would have increased the labour enormously), a full stop was the best mark that could be used, and only a person who is determined to detract from the value of the work can possibly raise any objection to so simple and practical a distinction.\n\n## next\n\nAs to the renderings of the various religious denominations, Mr. Mayers must know that when the Chinese shall have studied Church history and made themselves acquainted with what an Englishman understands under orthodox and what a Russian or Italian means by the same term, that then shorter definitions can be substituted for the present renderings; whilst now they would be as unintelligible as Greek or Italian. If men acquainted with the Chinese language cannot distinguish between Mandarin colloquial and Mandarin pronunciation, as Mr. Mayers, people will not wonder at the ease with which a reviewer as the present can misguide the public as to the character of a work. His remark on the Justice of Peace is a specimen of that kind. If in a prefecture you ask: \"Who is the Police Magistrate?\" the answer will be: ; if you ask; \"Who is the Judge of Summary Jurisdiction?\" you will hear that it is the same functionary; ask: \"Who is the Treasurer?\" and you will be referred to the same person, who besides unites a dozen more appointments under the one title. The most ridiculous thing is, that the heads of the various departments in Hongkong, as the Registrar General, the Superintendent of Police, &c., are all called and call themselves . The same is applicable to the assistants in the Consular offices, who all, however young and unexperienced, pass under the venerable title, . [Is that in accordance with the Treaty?] These distinctions are now as inseparably attached to those appointments as the same term is to a man who exercises his powers over several millions of people. The office of Justice of the Peace cannot be defined by an equivalent in any Chinese term. We must look for men who have at times duties to perform similar to that expressed by the English term and thus express the idea approximately, until laws and institutions in China have been changed. The two characters which Mr. Mayers renders by aid-de-camp have here in the South and particularly in the districts, also a different meaning, and are applied to persons who have from time to time to go on a tour of inspection for the purpose of investigating matters and of reporting them to the proper authorities, whenever their importance exceeds their limited powers.\n\n(the latter character in the `Herald` is wrong) Mr. Mayers does not fare better. A person has power or authority in the same degree as he is punishable for not exercising it. The payment of taxes, public order, &c., is demanded of the , who played so conspicuous a part in the late war of China with England and France, and are the municipal powers in the towns and districts throughout China. The terms which he proposes under \"complaint\" (viz: and ) do occur in petitions and law-suits, but have nothing to do with \"complaint\", and Mr. Mayers cannot give a single instance in which these words are rendered or can be rendered “complaint.” Another specimen of inaccuracy of the existing dictionaries so much lauded by Mr. Mayers may be seen from the following extract. Dr. Medhurst calls a Governor-General \"governor of two provinces,\" and governor of a province he calls \"lieutenant governor of one province,\" and applies to him the term , a title of honor which belongs to the Governor-General. He further states that anciently was equivalent to , whilst the Imperial Statutes of the present Dynasty state that is equivalent to or perfect.\n\nAccording to the preceding designation, we must call the Governor-General of British India Governor of four presidences, and the Governor of Madras Lieutenant governor of Madras. Such definitions would have been styled \"German\" by Mr. Mayers, though now they are not only given by an Englishman, but by the best Sinologue of China. Even Mr. Chalmers has been unfortunate enough to render Governor by and .\n\nI would in conclusion advise Mr. Mayers to attend to his duties of Consular Assistant, in order to avoid the necessity of dragging him before the public as a slanderer, as such an epithet is sure not to advance his promotion.\n\nW.

un certain nombre d'entre eux ont même su se mettre à la hauteur des obligations multiples qui leur incombent.\n\nMais les nécessités mêmes de leur carrière militaire, le souci naturel de leur avancement et les mouvements qui s'opèrent dans les corps constitués, s'opposent à ce qu'ils puissent se consacrer exclusivement à l'administration des affaires indigènes.\n\nL'inspection, d'ailleurs, n'est pas une carrière, et ceux qui s'y consacrent n'y trouvent pas la sécurité et les garanties que comportent un climat meurtrier et des postes dangereux.\n\nD'un autre côté, l'accomplissement de la mission civilisatrice que la France a assumée dans ces parages, le travail d'assimilation qu'elle doit poursuivre, exigent que les hommes qui sont appelés à administrer les indigènes possèdent une instruction à la fois large et spéciale, embrassant la législation française et l'ensemble des lois et coutumes cochinchinoises.\n\nLa connaissance de la langue annamite doit être aujourd'hui exigée des fonctionnaires chargés de représenter l'autorité française auprès des indigènes.\n\nLes administrateurs de 2e classe sont chargés de tout ce qui touche à l'administration, au contentieux et à l'établissement de l'impôt.\n\nEnfin, ceux de 3e classe ont à pourvoir à la perception des taxes diverses et à l'enregistrement, dans les localités où il n'est pas possible d'établir des agents spéciaux.\n\nCe soin est rendu facile par les habitudes indigènes et l'intervention des municipalités annamites: il ne nécessite chez le fonctionnaire qui en est investi que de l'ordre, de la probité et une connaissance plus sommaire des choses locales.\n\nC'est la fonction de début; elle laisse à l'administrateur des loisirs qu'il pourra utilement employer à compléter ses études et à se préparer aux épreuves qu'il aura ultérieurement à subir.\n\nLes administrateurs sont, d'ailleurs, indépendants les uns des autres et relèvent directement, suivant la spécialité de leurs attributions, des chefs d'administration et de service résidant à Saïgon.\n\nAinsi se trouve établie la séparation entre des fonctions qui, d'après les règles d'une saine administration, ne sauraient être réunies dans les mêmes mains.\n\nLa constitution du corps des inspecteurs et administrateurs repose sur la vérification des aptitudes.\n\nDes garanties générales d'instruction sont exigées au seuil de la carrière; elles ouvrent l'accès du collège où le stagiaire complète ses études avec des éléments spéciaux et pour ainsi dire techniques.\n\nCes études devront porter sur les langues vulgaires annamite et cambodgienne, sur la langue mandarine annamite et sur l'écriture de cette langue en caractères chinois;\n\nSur la législation, l'administration et l'organisation cambodgienne.\n\nElles comprendront, en outre, les diverses branches de l'administration française, le régime financier; enfin, la construction pratique et un cours de botanique ayant spécialement pour objet la flore du pays.\n\nEn retour d'aptitudes aussi variées et d'une instruction aussi étendue, il est juste que les administrateurs trouvent dans leurs fonctions tous les avantages qu'on rencontre dans les corps organisés: une carrière, une solde honorable, un avancement en rapport avec le mérite démontré; enfin, une assurance contre les risques exceptionnels d'un climat meurtrier.\n\nTelles sont les considérations qui ont présidé à la préparation du projet de décret ci-joint, portant organisation du service des affaires indigènes en Cochinchine.\n\nQuatre ordres de fonctions sont dévolues aux administrateurs.\n\nAvant d'obtenir la classe inférieure des administrateurs, le stagiaire doit subir d'une façon satisfaisante des épreuves sérieuses.\n\nIl rencontre l'examen à tous les degrés de l'échelle, sauf au degré supérieur, où le choix a été admis, cette exception se justifiant par la succession des épreuves auxquelles l'administrateur a dû se soumettre avant d'arriver à la...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-166 - Public Offices & Others - 1873.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 294416, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12]", "page_number": 384, "title": "CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH.\n\nI have the honour to forward a copy of a despatch addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies in order that he may be fully informed regarding the grievance complained of.\n\n(signed)\n\nP.

S'il est entré isolément en négociations avec le Royaume d'Aunam, c'est des circonstances particulières l'ont obligé à pourvoir aux exigences d'une situation qui lui est propre.

Afin de parer à ces dangers, il était nécessaire de venir en aide du Gouvernement Annamite, dont l'autorité et les moyens d'action sont insuffisants pour s'acquitter d'une tâche entourée des plus grandes difficultés. Telles sont les considérations qui se sont imposées aux négociateurs de l'Acte du 15 Mars dernier, destiné à remplacer celui qui liait déjà les deux pays.

S'il n'a pas cru devoir la décliner, c'est dans la pensée de prévenir par l'intervention de ses Représentants les conflits auxquels pourraient donner naissance dans les premiers temps, surtout de la part des autorités Annamites, l'obligation d'entretenir des rapports nouveaux pour elles avec les étrangers. En stipulant au profit du commerce de toutes les Puissances l'ouverture de certains ports de l'Annam, le Gouvernement Français ne devait pas compter en effet sur une modification immédiate des idées d'un peuple qui se refusait jusqu'ici à toute relation avec le dehors et dont les répugnances n'ont cédé que devant la perspective de compensations importantes.\n\nCes compensations résultent des secours de différente nature que le Royaume d'Annam recevra de la France, et pour que notre assistance ne demeure pas stérile, pour qu'elle ramène dans le pays l'ordre et la prospérité, nous avions à prévenir, par des mesures de prévoyance, la possibilité de toute complication de nature à entraver nos efforts.\n\nLa France abandonne à l'Annam une somme assez élevée qui lui est due et reste garante vis-à-vis de l'Espagne du paiement de la part d'indemnité qu'elle est fondée à réclamer en vertu du Traité du 5 Juin, 1862. A ce titre encore nous étions fondés à réclamer un droit de contrôle suffisant pour que cette garantie ne devînt pas une charge de plus à ajouter à celles que nous assumons.\n\nLe Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique, lorsqu'il a voulu mettre un terme à l'anarchie qui régnait dans des Etats de la presqu'île de Malacca, voisins de ses établissements, a jugé lui-même nécessaire de réserver à ses Représentants une influence décisive sur la direction des affaires. Le Traité conclu le 14 Janvier, 1874, entre M. le Gouverneur des Straits Settlements et le Chef de Perak paraît, à cet égard, plus étendu que ne le fait ressortir l'exposé sommaire inséré au Memorandum annexé à la lettre de Lord Lytton du 15 Novembre, 1874. En dehors de l'Article X, qui investit les résidents Anglais d'un droit de contrôle sur le revenu et l'administration du pays, les Articles VI et VII portent, en effet, que les avis de ces hauts fonctionnaires devront être suivis dans toutes les affaires autres que celles se rapportant à la religion et aux coutumes. D'ailleurs, en faisant à ces arrangements une allusion suggérée par l'analogie des exigences auxquelles la France et l'Angleterre se trouvaient respectivement avoir à satisfaire, nous n'avions d'autre pensée que d'indiquer par ce rapprochement les nécessités qui s'imposent à toute Puissance Européenne placée dans de circonstances semblables.\n\nLes luttes sanglantes qui désolent le Tonkin, les excès de toute sorte auxquels se portent des pirates, aussi nombreux que redoutables, sur le littoral du Royaume d'Annam, étaient faits pour appeler particulièrement l'attention du Gouvernement Français. L'influence qu'il devait à ses anciennes relations avec la Cour de Hué, la confiance qu'il lui a inspirée en lui offrant des témoignages certains de bon vouloir et d'amitié, lui ont permis de surmonter la répugnance d'une nation qui paraissait résolue à interdire à l'élément étranger l'accès de son territoire. Il a mis à profit les dispositions favorables qu'il rencontrait pour consacrer par des stipulations, qui n'ont rien d'exclusif, un régime nouveau constituant un incontestable progrès. C'est à l'initiative de la France que ces concessions sont dues, et quels que soient les avantages particuliers qu'elles lui assurent pour prix de ses sacrifices, elles profiteront au commerce de tous les pays dont le pavillon est représenté dans les mers de l'Indo-Chine.\n\nNo. 8.\n\n(No. 149.

Lieutenant François Garnier was a naval officer of great ability and merit; he had accompanied Captain de la Lagrée in his expedition up the Meikong River to explore a new route to the southern provinces of China and Thibet: and when that officer died he succeeded to the command of the party, and brought it safely through China to Hankow, and was preparing to prosecute his researches in Thibet when he was sent for by Admiral Dupré to take charge of an expedition to Tonquin.\n\n<<\n\nWhatever were Admiral Dupré's intentions in sending Garnier with an armed escort to Tonquin, certainly the Annamite Government considered it was for the purpose of removing Dupuis in accordance with their request. All, however, known about it was \"that it was sent to restore order\" but whether Dupuis was to be expelled or the Annamites supported, no one knew, but the title given him was Commandant-en-chef des forces de terre et de mer des côtes de Tongking, Envoi Extraordinaire de la Cochin-Chine.\" On the 10th of October the Annamite Envoys and Garnier and his party embarked in the \"D'Estrées,\" French man-of-war, towing a small gun-boat, the \"Arc.\" Calling at Tuson, two mandarins were sent from Huo to introduce Garnier to the Tonquinese authorities. The \"D'Estrées\" arrived at the Cua-cam River on the 24th of October, where Garnier obtained two junks, and left with his staff for Hanoi, which he reached on the 5th of November.\n\nA week before, another man-of-war, the 'Decrès, had been dispatched from Saigon, towing a gun-vessel, the \"Espingole.\" The \"Decrès \" arrived in the Cua-cam on the 7th of November, and the \"Espingole\" left at once for Hanoi with a crew of twenty-eight men, a medical attendant, Dr. Harmand, and a hydrographer, M. Bouillet, under command of an ensign, M. Baluy.\n\nM. Dupuis and his Chinese received Lieutenant Garnier, on landing at Hanoi, with military honours, and he at once penetrated into the citadel through one of the gates, and obliged the sentries to show him the house of Nguyen Tri-phuong, an old man with the title of Marshal or Commander-in-chief at Hanoi, and who had previously fought the French at Kihoa, and to whom he announced himself as the \"French Governor.\" Concealing his anger, Tri-phuong offered Garnier quarters in the native city, which he refused; but, frustrated in obtaining a house in the citadel, he accepted the building outside called the Examination Hall, and at present the French Consulate. As soon as he had left the city the gates were closed, and the officers who allowed him to enter were severely punished.\n\nGarnier at once began to negotiate. He said he had come at the request of Tuduc's Ministers; he had with him two mandarins sent by the Court of Hué, and had even been told he should meet at Hanoi a Minister Plenipotentiary, with whom he could treat. The Minister had arrived, but Nguyen Tri-phuong entirely ignored him, saying that Garnier had been sent not to make a Commercial Treaty, but to expel Dupuis.\n\nOn the day of his arrival Garnier issued a Proclamation. He said he was sent by France at the request of the Annamites, who had been asking at Saigon for help, and his mission was to destroy the pirates who attack vessels on the coast, and to facilitate commerce with Tonquin.\n\nIn the meantime, the \"Arc\" having been lost on the voyage to Tonquin, Admiral Dupré dispatched the gun-boat \"Scorpion\" to replace her.\n\nOn the 10th November M. Dupuis' steamer, the \"Manghao,\" brought a letter from Garnier to the captain of the \"D'Estrées,\" requesting reinforcements; and the following day the \"Scorpion,\" followed by the \"Manghao,\" proceeded up the river, the latter carrying a medical man, Dr. Dubut, and sixty men and three officers.\n\nThus the whole of the French forces at Hanoi on the 14th of November, 1873, not including Dupuis, were :\n\nThe \"Espingole,\" Messrs. Baluy, Harmand, and Bouillet, with 28 men. The \"Scorpion,\" Messrs. Garnier, Esmez, and Bouxin, with 50 men.\n\nThe detachment from the \"Decrès,\" Messrs. Bain, Hautefeuille, Perrin, and Dubut, with 60 men.\n\nThe 30 marines of M. de Trentenien.\n\nDr. Chedan and M. Lasserre, private secretary to Garnier. Altogether, 180 men.\n\n11\n\nOn the 19th of November, Garnier published a second Proclamation, making known the conditions of the intended Treaty of Commerce under French protection. Information had reached him that the Annamites were preparing to attack him, and he thought it would be better to strike the first blow himself; and, as the time he had given Nguyen Tri-phuong to communicate with the Court of Hué had expired, he resolved to attack the citadel the following day.\n\nAt daybreak on the 20th of November, the attack was made. A first column composed of 30 sailors with a gun, headed by M. Bain de la Coquerie, marched toward the south-western gate at 6 o'clock. A quarter of an hour later, Garnier himself left the Examination Hall for the south-eastern gate, with 3 guns, 40 sailors, and 30 marines.\n\nThe great\n\nThe Annamites, taken unawares, offered scarcely any resistance. difficulty in entering the citadel was to break open the gates made of hard wood, and it was necessary to bring the guns close to and fire at a distance of a few feet,\n\nWhile the southern gates were being stormed, the shells of the \"Espingole\" and the \"Scorpion were falling near the western gate, and, by frightening away the defenders of the place, contributed to the success of the day. M. Dupuis himself, though Garnier had declined his offer of service, was taking a share in the fight, and his soldiers, having managed to scale the Eastern Gate, entered the citadel first, and dispersed for pillage. Garnier, however, gave strict orders to stop all disorder, and by 7 o'clock, the citadel being entirely in his hands, he sent back all the troops to the Examination Hall, except the marines.\n\nSome 200 natives had been killed or wounded, while on the side of the French there was not a single casualty to report. A great number of officials were made prisoners, including the Envoy from the Court of Hué, who had been ignored by the Marshal, the Governor of Hanoi, the two sons of Phan Tanh-gian, who signed the Treaty of 1862 on behalf of Annam, and Nguyen Tri-phuong himself. The Marshal was found concealed in a house where he had taken refuge after receiving a wound in the thigh from a splinter of a shell, and from which he subsequently died.\n\nOn the same day Garnier reported to Saigon the capture of the citadel, and asked for reinforcements, and issued a Proclamation to calm the minds of the people.\n\nIt would occupy too much space to detail the subsequent proceedings of Garnier, and it will be sufficient to say he sent M. Balny with 15 marines to Towli, a town on the branch of the Song Koi above Hanoi to direct the authorities to submit; and, as he passed Hungyen, the Mandarins came out and offered their submission. After passing Fowli, Balny went to Haidzong, an important citadel in the Thai-dinh River, which he carried by a coup de main on the 4th of December.\n\nOn the 1st December Garnier sent a steam-launch under command of M. Haute-feuille, with instructions to M. Balny, and to require the submission of the Governor of Nam-dinh and Minh-binh, the latter of which he attacked with seven men, and captured it, taking the Tedoc or General prisoner. Garnier himself left Hanoi on the 4th December in the \"Scorpion,\" with M. Esnez and about 70 men, in addition to the crew for Nam-dinh, capturing a fort that opened fire upon him en route, and the town itself on the 10th of December, and he issued a fourth Proclamation to pacify the people. Thus, within a period of a month, Hanoi, the capital, Hungyen, Haidzong, Nam-dinh, and Han-dinh, all important cities commanding the delta of the Song Koi or Red River, had been captured.\n\nBut, after this, came the reverse. With a handful of men he had overrun the neighbouring country, but it required more than a handful to hold it. Constant attacks were made on the several positions thus occupied, and great difficulty was experienced in repulsing them. A rumour, too, which proved true, was about that Annamite troops were coming from the southern provinces. Tuduc, the King of Annam, was greatly incensed at the loss of Hanoi, and gave orders to the Viceroy of the Province of Nguyen to march against the French, and he himself sent every available soldier from Hué. These orders were partly executed when he changed his mind, and wrote to Saigon, giving his Envoys full powers to sign a Treaty of Commerce, and sent two Envoys to Garnier with full powers, and M. Sohier as Interpreter.\n\nGarnier, in occupying the forts situated on the delta of the Song Koi, had evidently in view the keeping open his communication with the sea, but he had not secured his rear by the capture of the military city of Soutay, some thirty miles west of Hanoi, where resided the Tong Thong, Hoang Ke-vien by name. This officer had increased his army by troops recalled from the north, where they were fighting the so-called rebels, but in truth the Black and Yellow Flag Chinese factions on the frontier, who were at war with each other.\n\n231", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 299492, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "page_number": 329, "title": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "content_text": "L'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\n500 380.

Les délégués envoyés à cette Conférence seront chargés, en outre, de s'entendre sur les bases d'un arrangement à conclure à ce sujet, et d'arrêter une convention sanitaire internationale destinée à régler les relations futures des États intéressés par rapport aux différentes questions traitées dans la Conférence. La ratification de cette Convention devrait être réservée aux Gouvernements dont les délégués interviendraient à cette Conférence, et la faculté d'y accéder plus tard, aux États qui n'auraient pas pris part aux négociations.\n\nNous sommes ensuite d'avis qu'il faudrait abandonner aux Gouvernements qui prennent part à la Conférence, le soin de fixer le nombre de leurs délégués, tout en maintenant le principe que les délégués de chaque État ne pourraient disposer en votant que d'une seule voix.\n\nJe vous prie, M. le Comte, de vouloir bien adresser cette invitation officielle au Gouvernement auprès duquel vous avez l'honneur d'être accrédité, de lui exposer les vues et les intentions qui nous animent dans cette affaire, et de lui communiquer le programme ci-joint de la Conférence.

Le choléra Asiatique susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique) ne se développe-t-il spontanément que dans l'Inde, et est-ce toujours du dehors qu'il arrive, quand il éclate dans d'autres pays? Ou bien revêt-il aussi le caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde ? Dans ce cas quels sont ces pays ?\n\n2. Le choléra est-il transmissible par l'homme ?\n\n3. Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des effets, qui, provenant d'un lieu infecté, ont servi à l'usage et spécialement par ceux qui ont appartenu à des cholériques ?\n\n4. Peut-il être propagé par des comestibles ?\n\n5. Peut-il être importé par des animaux vivants ?\n\n6. ou par le transport de marchandises ?\n\n7. ou, enfin, par les cadavres des cholériques ?\n\n8. Le choléra peut-il se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule ?\n\n9. L'air frais arrivant du dehors aux agents donnant naissance ou propageant le choléra, et les aérant, ou bien l'isolement de ces agents de l'air extérieur constituent-ils des éléments ayant ou non une influence sur le caractère contagieux du choléra ?\n\n10. Quand il y a contagion, quelle est la durée de l'incubation ?\n\n11. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement ou avec quelque chance de succès être détruit et perdre de son intensité ? Dans le cas affirmatif quels sont ces moyens ?\n\n#### Questions sur les Mesures de Quarantaine en Temps de Choléra.\n\n12. Des établissements de quarantaine doivent-ils être construits sur terre contre le choléra ?\n\n13. Dans ce cas :\n - (a) Où seront-ils placés ?\n - (b) Quand et dans quelles conditions ces constructions doivent-elles se faire ?\n - (c) Quelles seraient les conditions à remplir sous le rapport des bâtisses et sous celui de l'organisation administrative ?\n - (d) Comment et par quels moyens est-il possible d'empêcher l'accès dans un pays par une autre voie que celle protégée par des établissements de quarantaine ?\n\n14. Des établissements de quarantaine contre le choléra doivent-ils être aussi construits sur les bords des fleuves ?\n\n15. Donc le cas affirmatif (comme au § 13) ?\n\n16. Doit-on construire des établissements de quarantaine maritimes ou conserver ceux qui existent ?\n\n17. Si tel doit être le cas (comme au § 13) ?\n\n18. Quels sont les principes qui doivent être adoptés envers les personnes :\n - (a) pour les admettre immédiatement à la libre pratique ?\n - (b) pour leur faire subir une quarantaine d'observation ?\n - (c) ou une quarantaine rigoureuse ? (Établissements de quarantaine, lazaret.)\n\n19. Quelle doit être, pour les personnes saines (passagers, marins, etc.), la durée :\n - (a) de la quarantaine d'observation ? et,\n - (b) de la quarantaine rigoureuse proprement dite ? Quelle est pour les personnes atteintes du choléra, la durée du séjour au lazaret ?\n\n20. Sous quelles conditions et dans quelle mesure peut-on comprendre, pour des navires, la durée de la traversée dans le temps fixé pour la quarantaine ?\n\n21. Quels sont les principes qui seront appliqués :\n - (a) aux effets qui servent à l'usage de personnes,\n - (b) aux animaux vivants,\n - (c) aux marchandises,\n - (d) aux comestibles,\n - (e) aux navires, wagons, voitures, etc., pour les admettre à la libre pratique sans qu'ils n'aient été désinfectés ou après qu'ils l'ont été ?\n\n22. En quoi consiste la désinfection :\n - (a) des personnes,\n - (b) des effets à leur usage,\n - (c) des animaux vivants,\n - (d) des marchandises,\n - (e) des moyens de transport ? (Moyens, mode et durée de l'application.)\n\n221 \n338", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 301768, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "page_number": 381, "title": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "content_text": "préoccupée la Compagnie Eastern Extension, non seulement pour Hong-Kong, mais encore pour les différentes destinations de l'extrême orient au-delà des Indes serait que cette Compagnie accédât elle-même aux dispositions de la Convention, comme l'a fait la Compagnie Eastern qui exploite le réseau des Communications sous-marines en deça des Indes.\n\nVeuillez agréer Monsieur le Directeur Général l'assurance de ma haute Considération.\n\nLe Directeur \n(4) \nL.

The only case in which he interfered was that of Ip Ayow, a little boy who stole a look at the Reformatory and was told he would be flogged if he did not confess the theft, whereupon he confessed the theft and was sentenced to be flogged. The Governor declined to allow that part of the sentence to be carried out.\n\nOf the five prisoners sentenced to be publicly flogged with the cat on the back by Mr John Smale, the Governor allowed the first two to be so flogged, but on discovering the extent of the physical injury that had been inflicted, and on getting a report from the Colonial Surgeon against flogging Chinese on the back, he asked Sir John Smale to pass in future sentences of flogging in such a form as the Colonial Surgeon could certify might be carried out, that is with a rattan on the breech. Sir John declined to do this. Thereupon, Hennessy referred the next case to the Attorney General, to advise whether he could alter the sentence to meet the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, but the Attorney General said the Governor could not alter either the place (the back) or the instrument (the cat) specified by Sir John Smale, and that he could only exercise his prerogative of remitting the flogging in toto; and as no flogging can take place without the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, and as the Governor agreed with the Colonial Surgeon, the floggings on three of those sentenced by Sir John Smale had to be remitted.\n\nThe three prisoners sentenced to be flogged by the Acting Chief Justice Mr Snowden were duly flogged. In one of these cases a delay of some days occurred owing to the absence of the Colonial Surgeon's certificate when the papers were laid before the Governor, and this was explained by the fact that Mr Snowden had forgotten to specify that the flogging was to be with a rattan on the breech. On the papers being returned to him, he explained that it was by an oversight this was omitted, and thereupon the Colonial Surgeon appended his certificate, and the Governor allowed the flogging.\n\nOf the twenty-four flogging sentences passed by the Superintendent or Visiting Justices of the Gaol, Sir Hennessy allowed twenty-two to be carried out. One case he referred back to the Visiting Justices for their reconsideration, when they themselves withdrew the sentence of flogging on the ground that the prisoner had been ordered to do shot drill when on penal diet, which was a breach of rule and of the instructions from Her Majesty's Government; and one other case he investigated himself with the Visiting Justices and the Colonial Surgeon, when it was discovered that one of the arms of a prisoner who had objected to crank labour was quite withered from an old wound, the elbow joint and one finger permanently fixed, and that he had been just subjected to punishments in prison which the Attorney General reported were not lawful.

The following letter, received from Captain Mies of the brig `Rio Loge`, relative to the position of Rennels and Bellona Islands, is published for general information.\n\nG. GREY.\n\n### RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878.\n\nSIR-I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig `Rio Loge`. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as \"doubtful\" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12' south latitude, and 160° 10' east longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30' south latitude, and 160° 8' east longitude, making an error of 18' in latitude and 2' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the N.W. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.E. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 49' east, approximate. Rennels Island and Bellona bear from each other N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.\n\nI cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:-\n\nRennels Island is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 600 to 800 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.\n\nTrusting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nEDWARD MILES,\nMaster `Rio Loge`.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JANUARY, 1879.\n\n### Government of India.\n\n## DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, AGRICULTURE, AND COMMERCE.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27.]\n\nBAY OF BENGAL-GODAVERY DISTRICT-COCANADA.

The number of English boys in the Colony is limited, but I have now the names of 25 boys on the school list, and 19 are in attendance this morning.\n\nTo show that the parents desire the kind of teaching for their children which I intend to give here, I may say that I was yesterday informed by the Acting Inspector of schools that every English boy had left the Central School (where peculiar instruction only is given) to join my classes. From an experience of the Colony dating from 1871, I am convinced that English parents here desire a school (1) where religion has its place, and (2) where their boys can receive instruction apart from the Chinese.\n\nI am sorry to say that I am unable to put my school under Government Inspection and thus claim the pecuniary support (under the Grants in aid scheme) which I really very much need.

Bishop Burdon, Rev. Dr. Chalmers, Hon. Sir John Smale, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. H. B. Gibb, and Messrs. T. Jackson, W. H. Forbes, D. R. Crawford, W. H. Davis, and A. Lister.\n\nHon. H. B. Gibb said he expected to go home shortly, and thought his name might be omitted. Mr. FORBES said he also expected to go home shortly.\n\nBoth gentlemen were requested to allow their names to remain in the resolution, and consented. The following words were also added to the resolution-\"With power to add to their number.\" Rev. J. HENDERSON seconded the resolution. Carried.\n\nThe BISHOP- May I just say that, so far as I can see, the points to be determined by this permanent committee, will be the fees, the hours of attendance, and all the little details connected with the school. The master, I hope, will be, notwithstanding the fears of some, an efficient man for his work. I have done the very utmost I could to secure the best man possible, and I think every care will be taken in his choice. I may say that so far from Dr. Stewart and myself being opposed to each other, I went to him for the purpose of asking his advice in reference to the appointment, and he himself is one of the subscribers.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE raised the question whether a Secretary and Treasurer should be appointed by the present meeting, and, after some conversation, proposed that it be left to the committee to appoint its own officers.\n\nMr. TOMLIN seconded. Carried.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE- Do the resolutions sufficiently define the duties of the committee, and that they undertake the general management of the school and its details? How that is I don't know. Of course they would manage the school in all the general details that committees usually do, but the master's department of the school must be managed by the masters beyond question. I take it no school ever thrives in which the committee interferes. That I believe we find in England in all public establishments, and therefore I don't think any one here would wish to interfere with the master's department, but all but the master's department ought to be in the hands of the committee. If that were done, I think we would have done pretty nearly all, but I think we ought to say what we do commit to the committee, be that what it may. That is a suggestion I make. And I would take this opportunity of saying I think the lines laid down here by this paper which I hold in hand are such as ought to commend themselves to everyone. For myself, I am for instruction- religiously if you can, but if not, instruction. And I cannot say but I look with very great satisfaction at what the Roman Catholics have done in this colony. They have shown us Protestants an example we have to follow, and I wish them every success. There is plenty of room for the success of every class in this colony, especially religious thought. For myself, if to-morrow there were a very good Presbyterian school established here, I should be very glad to see it. I believe you cannot have too much of education, but you may spoil a school by setting it up against another. I hope we will all agree in supporting this school, which Mr. Kidd I think established to meet, what was a very decided want in this colony. (Hear, hear.) I don't think there can be a dissenter in this colony- although Mr. Kidd in his views was very special, but I am sure there is not a Presbyterian or Independent in this colony who would not have preferred sending their children to Mr. Kidd than to give them no education at all, or to give them education without religious instruction at all. I hope therefore in this matter we shall be able to pull together, and that Dr. Chalmers's great and acknowledged learning will come to aid this committee, as well as the acknowledged talent of our much respected Bishop- Applause).\n\nThe BISHOP- With reference to Sir John's first question, as to the province of the committee, I think we must leave it to good sense.\n\nI don't suppose any committee of gentlemen would consider it their duty to interfere with the details and scholastic management of any school. If there is one place where divided management, or numerous management, would do harm it is a school. There must be one head and only one head, but of course there are many departments in which a committee can counsel without interfering with the daily work and routine.\n\nHon. H. B. GIBB- I take it the duties of the committee would be very much like those of trustees at home, not interfering unless there is some glaring abuse.\n\nDr. EITEL- As his Lordship said anyone present might ask a question, I would like to ask one. Neither in his opening remarks nor afterwards in what he said as to the subjects the committee would deal with, did I hear any allusion to one point which seems to me very important, the question what subjects are to be taught in the school. For instance, is Chinese to be taught, are Latin and Greek to be taught? In short, the question I wish to put to his lordship is, what standard will this school occupy itself with as regards the subjects of its teaching?\n\nThe BISHOP- I hope in time we shall embrace all, but certainly not at first. I don't think there is any limit except the material with which we have to deal. I think it would be unsuitable to teach Chinese, Latin, or Greek; the boys should be taught the ordinary branches of an English education suitable to their age, and if we got more advanced pupils we will have advanced education.\n\nMr. LISTER- I think we are somewhat in the position of persons opening a new house of business. We don't exactly know the articles in which we shall deal until we know what the demand is. We are opening business in a line as yet very little developed. If we find there is a demand for Chinese it is very easy to add Chinese, and the same thing applies to Greek and Latin. The programme of the school will no doubt be very much governed in years to come, as everything else is governed, by the demand. Parents will express their wishes as to what they wish their children to learn. All those points will, I think, in a few months settle themselves.\n\nThe BISHOP- Mr. Kidd had five and twenty boys, all little fellows, some of them not more than eight or nine. Well, of course the education you give to such children begins with ABC and English books, and there is no idea of commencing the study of Chinese. I think to teach Chinese to those foreign boys would require a man of learning such as is only found in Dr. Eitel.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE- The gentleman you will get out will be competent to teach Latin and Greek?\n\nThe BISHOP- I hope so-(a laugh)- but we commence these things without knowing what we are going to do, and with the idea of Mr. Kidd's pupils before my mind I did not think much of Latin and Greek.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE- It is quite common for children nine years of age to commence to learn Latin.\n\nThe BISHOP- Well, I think the teacher will be able to give them all the Latin they want.\n\nDr. EITEL- With reference to the question I put to his Lordship, and which was answered by Mr. Lister, as a father of children, if I wish to send my children to school I should like first to know what they are going to be taught, what the school offers for the children. I would not send my children to a school, and some fathers would not like to take their children from one school and send them to another, if the subjects to be taught in which nothing is known except that they are left to the committee to be settled by and by. What will be the subjects that will be taught in the school? because, apart from teaching in school there is teaching at home, and if subjects are taught in school that might be as well taught at home some people would not like to send their children at all. I make these remarks to show my question is not entirely an absurd one. You offer this school to parents and expect them to pay fees.

Even the bricks made of Canton River mud contain iron, though to a lesser extent than the granite. I suggest that an analysis be made of the limestone of the White Mountain Range, near Canton, which, if found sufficiently free from iron, might be imported for our purpose. A good deal of extra work will also devolve upon the Department during several months of the year, in collecting information respecting typhoons.\n\nUsed both for the masonry and the concrete, if not too costly. A fine concrete, of suitable quality, might be made with washed gravel of this island, i.e., the common decomposed granite (taking care to select a coarse, gritty sample), dug from a nullah side, and washed until only the quartz parts remain. This of course would be expensive. I have little doubt, however, that, on careful inquiry, it will be found neither very difficult nor very costly to procure, near at hand or somewhere on the coast, a material that will fulfil all requirements.\n\nThe regular clerical labour will consist mainly of entering the observations and calculations in books and forms for that purpose, transcribing and filing the automatic records, compiling weather changes and storm data, abstracting typhoon-logs, preparing periodical reports, accounts, &c., and general correspondence.\n\nThe Director of the Establishment should be, if possible, someone recommended by the Astronomer-Royal. No one could be more desirable than an ex-assistant of the Royal Observatory, and it is important to bear in mind that the copper articles ought to be of European manufacture, as those made in China contain a large percentage of iron. The Reverend M. DECHREVENS, S.J., director of Zi Ka Wei Observatory, with whom I have entered into correspondence, and to whom I am indebted for some valuable suggestions relating to the Magnetic building, as well as for plans and photographs of his own establishment, is emphatic in his caution on this point, and recommends me \"n'employ pour les portes, les fenêtres, les jonctions, etc., que du cuivre, et autant que possible que des objets de cuivre contiennent une grande proportion de fer. Tout le cuivre qui est entré dans la salle magnétique, et principalement tout ce que nous avons été obligé de faire fabriquer par des ouvriers Chinois, à été essayé au magnétomètre avant d'être accepté, et rejeté invariablement dès qu'il produit sur l'aimant une déviation de quelques minutes d'arc à un pied de distance.\"\n\nHe should have, as First assistant, a practical man, chosen with great care—a man able to observe and compute, acquainted with the mechanical details of the instruments, and competent to execute, or at least direct, any necessary repairs. An assistant of this kind could probably be got from amongst the non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance Survey Companies of the Corps of Royal Engineers, a very valuable body of men. He should receive a salary of $120 per mensem.\n\nTo the Royal Engineers, we may also look for the Second assistant, who should be a good photographer, and be deputed to attend specially to the photographic instruments. Arrangements might, no doubt, be made to procure for him a month's training. He should be paid $75 per mensem.\n\nClerks, of whom two at least will be needed, can be obtained locally. They should be very trustworthy and accurate men. The rest of the employés may be Chinese, namely, a caretaker, to have general charge of the premises; a gardener, for the grounds; coolies, to act as messengers, keep the buildings and premises clean, trim lamps (there being, most unfortunately for the Observatory, gas at Kau-lung), &c.; and night watchmen; also an intelligent man to attend to the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals, and Tide-Gauge at Tsim-shá-tsui, and who should, if possible, be accommodated in the Police Station.\n\nPage 44\n\nThe Barograph, it may also be remarked, must, if possible, have no iron about it, as it will be mounted in the same chamber with the Magnetograph. The instrument-pillars, which should be capped with a slab of slate or marble, may be made from the same material as that of the building itself; but they cannot be built until the instruments themselves, or their exact dimensions, have been received.\n\nFor protection against lightning, a single conductor, carried by a post 25 feet high, erected anywhere near the building, will answer.\n\nFor the Dip-circle, a small pavilion and pier will have to be erected, in a position well removed from the other magnets, such as the ground outside the astronomical building. This, however, as well as the provision, also above ground, to be made for the Unifilar Magnetometer, may be considered later on.\n\nIn the meantime, there will be nothing to prevent the two main buildings from being proceeded with as soon as the working drawings and estimates can be prepared.\n\nIV. Tidal Observations.\n\nThere is one instrument which, though referred to in His Excellency the Governor's despatch already quoted from, has not yet been mentioned in this report, and which might with advantage be added to the outfit, namely, a Tide-gauge, for the purpose of determining the laws of the tides at Hongkong, certain phenomena of which, such as the diurnal and other inequalities, are peculiar and, I believe, but little known or understood. An autographic tide-gauge might be set up in a chamber constructed for the purpose near the Tsim-shá-tsui Police Station, and attended to each day by the man in charge of the Time-Ball and Weather-Signals. Such a gauge, of Sir W. THOMSON's pattern, would cost about £95.\n\nAdmiral RYDER suggested, in 1877, that an automatic Tide-gauge should be set up at Cape D'Aguilar, and placed in charge of the lighthouse-keeper there. This is most desirable, as a means of establishing the direction and rate of the tides, and I recommend that it be carried out unless the engineering difficulties prove too serious, in which case a suitable spot might perhaps be found on or off the headlands nearer to Stanley. A less expensive gauge, of NEWMAN's pattern, and costing about £50, would serve for this station.\n\nV.—Staff.\n\nNotwithstanding that so large a proportion of the various instruments will be of self-registering patterns, the routine work of the observatory will, nevertheless, be very considerable. Even autographic instruments require periodic attention, most of them at least once daily. Time-determinations should be made certainly three or four times a week, and these necessitate a considerable amount of observing by night and computing by day. Frequent periodic magnetic observations for absolute values will also be required, following the routine of the magnetic work at the Greenwich Observatory.\n\nClerks, of whom two at least will be needed, can be obtained locally. They should be very trustworthy and accurate men. The rest of the employés may be Chinese, namely, a caretaker, to have general charge of the premises; a gardener, for the grounds; coolies, to act as messengers, keep the buildings and premises clean, trim lamps (there being, most unfortunately for the Observatory, gas at Kau-lung), &c.; and night watchmen; also an intelligent man to attend to the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals, and Tide-Gauge at Tsim-shá-tsui, and who should, if possible, be accommodated in the Police Station.\n\nVI.—Finance.\n\nIt is now possible to form an idea of the first outlay and the yearly cost of maintenance for the whole establishment as above designed, which probably will not differ much from the following, though the estimates for the buildings can only be considered as approximate, no detailed drawings and calculations having yet been made.\n\n \n Astronomical Apparatus,\n £500\n say\n $2,667\n \n \n Meteorological do.,\n 397\n \n 2,117\n \n \n Magnetical do.,\n 424\n \n 2,262\n \n \n Time-Ball\n 400\n \n 2,133\n \n \n Two Tide-Gauges,\n 145\n \n 773\n \n \n do.,\n 12\n \n 64\n \n \n TWO ROBINSON's Anemometers, for Victoria Peak and Cape D'Aguilar,\n 23\n \n 123\n \n \n Freight and Insurance of the above to Hongkong,\n 100\n \n 533\n \n \n Main Observatory Building and Out-houses, Furniture and Fitments,\n 71\n \n 12,900\n \n \n Magnetic Basement,\n 500\n \n 4,500\n \n \n \n 1,600\n \n 250\n \n \n \n 250\n \n 3,000\n \n \n Expenditure on the Grounds and Approaches, Fencing, &c.,\n 51\n \n \n \n \n Telegraph Line to the Time-Ball, including spare Cable,\n \n say,\n $33,600\n \n \n Connecting Observatory with the Kau-lung-Yau-má-ti Telegraph Line,\n \n \n or £6,300\n \n \n and cost of Speaking-Instrument, &c.,\n \n \n \n \n \n Miscellaneous Erections, as for the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals, Tide-Gauges, Meridian-Mark, and parts of the Meteorological and Mag-netical Apparatus, Lamps, Observing Seats, &c.,\n \n \n \n \n \n Total Prime Cost (Approximate),\n \n \n \n \n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-195 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 310111, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-195 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 237, "title": "CO129-195 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "UEFTURA “Ümid” \n\nAIC.

Sir Thomas allows 7,500 for the Hongkong trade - that is for local consumption & Export as prepared opium and the balance of about 15,000 piculs he thinks enters China Coastwise. It has been the custom hitherto to assume that that large balance was smuggled into China because there was no record of it being transhipped from the Native Customs Authorities, but now it is shown by Mr. Thomas Wade that as much duty was paid in 1875-1876 to the Native Authorities on opium as was charged to smuggling.\n\nI think the allowance of 7,500 piculs for the Hong Kong trade is considerably under the mark, and that for export & for local consumption boiled in Hong Kong there is more than 10,000 chests or piculs. I make this statement from information gained from the present farmers of the Hongkong monopoly.\n\nThe Opium farmers afford proof. The Colonel in his account states that the amount they paid for the monopoly of boiling opium was 10,000.\n\nIn 1879 the Opium farm of Hongkong passed into their hands, and the previous farmers established themselves at Macao where they successfully competed with the new Hongkong farmers and this led to the fact that they had the command of the American & Australian Markets, as none of the prepared opium could be sold in competition.\n\nIt now appears that during the year of such competition the present or new Hongkong farmers lost $150,000, whilst now that they and the Macao farmers have amalgamated, the farm is doing well. I was frequently told by the new farmers in 1879 that the local consumption in Hongkong paid them little, but that their chief profits were from Hongkong, San Francisco and Australia - the figures above mentioned seem to verify that statement, whilst it also supports the opinion that I have ventured to express, that Sir Thomas Wade in setting down 7,500 piculs for the Hongkong trade was considerably under the mark.\n\nMy object in calling attention to this subject is that it may be ascertained how far Hongkong will be affected by the duty on opium at present in force, or that if the San Francisco market is closed to the Hongkong farmers, the Colonial as well as the Indian Revenue must suffer considerably.\n\nRussell\n\nCol: Treasurer Hongkong.\n\nPage 444", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 310975, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881", "page_number": 557, "title": "CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881", "content_text": "544\n\n(12)\n\ndient is broken granite.

Tout le cuivre qui est entré dans notre des ouvriers 'salle magnétique, et principalement tout ce que nous avons été obligé de faire fabriquer par 'Chinois, à été essayé au magnétomètre avant d'être accepté, et rejeté invariablement dès qu'il produisait 'sur l'aimant une déviation de quelques minutes d'arc à un pied de distance.\"\n\nCL\n\nThe Barograph, it may also be remarked, must, if possible, have no iron about it, as it will be mounted in the same chamber with the Magnetograph. The instrument-pillars, which should be capped with slabs of slate or marble, may be made from the same material as that of the building itself; but they cannot be built until the instruments themselves, or their exact dimensions, have been received.\n\nFor protection against lightning, a single conductor, carried by a post 25 feet high, erected anywhere near the building, will answer.\n\nFor the Dip-circle, a small pavilion and pier will have to be erected, in a position well removed from the other magnets, such as the ground outside the astronomical building. This, however, as well as the provision, also above ground, to be made for the Unifilar Magnetometer, may be considered later on.\n\nIn the meantime, there will be nothing to prevent the two main buildings from being proceeded with as soon as the working drawings and estimates can be prepared.\n\nIV. Tidal Observations.\n\nThere is one instrument which, though referred to in His Excellency the Governor's despatch already quoted from, has not yet been mentioned in this report, and which might with advantage be added to the outfit, namely, a Tide-gauge, for the purpose of determining the laws of the tides at Hongkong, certain phenomena of which, such as the diurnal and other inequalities, are peculiar and, I believe, but little known or understood. An autographic tide-gauge might be set up in a chamber constructed for the purpose near the Tsim-shá-tsui Police Station, and attended to each day by the man in charge of the Time-Ball and Weather-Signals. Such a gauge, of Sir W. THOMSON'S pattern, would cost about £95.\n\nAdmiral RYDER suggested, in 1877, that an automatic Tide-gauge should be set up at Cape D'Aguilar, and placed in charge of the lighthouse-keeper there. This is most desirable, as a means of establishing the direction and rate of the tides, and I recommend that it be carried out unless the engineering difficulties prove too serious, in which case a suitable spot might perhaps be found on one of the headlands nearer to Stanley. A less expensive gauge, of NEWMAN's pattern, and costing about £50, would serve for this station.\n\nV. Staff.\n\nNotwithstanding that so large a proportion of the various instruments will be of self-registering patterns, the routine work of the observatory will, nevertheless, be very considerable. Even autographic instruments require periodic attention, most of them at least once daily. Time-determinations should be made certainly three or four times a week, and these necessitate a considerable amount of observing by night and computing by day. Frequent periodic magnetic observations for absolute values, which are tedious, difficult and highly complicated, will also have to be made and computed. Constant attention must be given to the adjustments of the extensive and miscellaneous apparatus, to winding and regulating clocks, ascertaining the errors of the instruments, and keeping all clean and in good order.\n\nA good deal of extra work will also devolve upon the Department during several months of the year, in collecting information respecting typhoons.\n\nThe regular clerical labour will consist mainly of entering the observations and calculations in the books and forms for that purpose, transcribing and filing the automatic records, compiling weather exchanges and storm data, abstracting typhoon-logs, preparing periodical reports, accounts, &c., and general correspondence.\n\nThe Director of the Establishment should be, if possible, some one recommended by the Astronomer-Royal. No one could be more desirable than an ex-assistant of the Royal Observatory. I do not think we can expect to get a competent person for less than $300 per mensem. He should have, as First assistant, a practical man, chosen with great care—a man able to observe and compute, acquainted with the mechanical details of the instruments, and competent to execute, or at least direct, ordinary repairs. An assistant of this kind could probably be got from amongst the non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance Survey Companies of the Corps of Royal Engineers, a very valuable body of men. He should receive a salary of $120 per mensem. To the Royal Engineers we may also look for the Second assistant, who should be a good photographer, and be deputed to attend specially to the Magnetic instruments. Arrangements might, no doubt, be made to procure for him a month's training at the Greenwich Observatory in the routine of the magnetic work. He might be paid $75 per mensem.\n\nClerks, of whom two at least will be needed, can be obtained locally. They should be very trustworthy and accurate men. The rest of the employés may be Chinese, namely, a caretaker, to have general charge of the premises; a gardener, for the grounds; coolies, to act as messengers, keep the buildings and premises clean, trim lamps (there being, most unfortunately for the Observatory, no gas at Kau-lung), &c.; and night watchmen; also an intelligent man to attend to the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals and Tide-Gauge at Tsim-sha-tsui, and who should, if possible, be accommodated in the Police Station.\n\nVI. Finance.\n\nIt is now possible to form an idea of the first outlay and the yearly cost of maintenance for the whole establishment as above designed, which probably will not differ much from the following, though the estimates for the buildings can only be considered as approximate, no detailed drawings and calculations having yet been made.\n\nAstronomical Apparatus, £500 say $2,667\n\nMeteorological do., 397 2,117\n\nMagnetical do., 424 2,262\n\nTime-Ball do., 400 2,133\n\nTwo Tide-Gauges, 145 773\n\nTwo ROBINSON's Anemometers, for Victoria Peak and Cape D'Aguilar, \" 12 64\n\nFreight and Insurance of the above to Hongkong, 100 533\n\nMain Observatory Building and Out-houses, Furniture and Fitments, 12,900\n\nMagnetic Basement, 500\n\nConnecting Observatory with the Kau-lung- Expenditure on the Grounds and Approaches, Fencing, &c., Telegraph Line to the Time-Ball, including 4,500\n\nCable, say, 1,600\n\nand cost of Speaking-Instrument, &c., Miscellaneous Erections, as for the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals, Tide-Gauges, Meridian-Mark, and parts of the Meteorological and Magnetic Apparatus, 250\n\nan-má-ti Telegraph Line, 250\n\nLamps, Observing Seats, &c., 3,000\n\nTotal Prime Cost (Approximate), $83,600 or £6,300\n\n(13)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-196 - Public Offices & Others - 1881.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 311416, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-197 - Governor Hennessy - 1882 [1-2]", "page_number": 437, "title": "CO129-197 - Governor Hennessy - 1882 [1-2]", "content_text": "# THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 1982.\n\n## HONGKONG VARIOUS.\n\n### INSURANCE.\n\n**THE DAILY PRESS** \nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 1982.\n\n## INSURANCE COMPANIES AT HANKURUES.\n\n### SOUTH GORMAN PURE INSURANCE COMPANY.\n\n| CAPITAL | $2.06 |\n| --- | --- |\n| ASSOCIATION.

A delicate level and a filar micrometer constitute the zenith-telescope attachment. The level is affixed to one side of the tube, with its length at right angles to the horizontal axis, and revolves on a centre, its indications serving to give a measure of any small change of inclination of the telescope consequent on reversal. The value in arc of one division of this level, as determined at the Washington Naval Observatory, is 1.067. The micrometer-screw carries three parallel threads perpendicular to the ruled lines of the transit reticule, the middle one of the three being that which is commonly used for measuring differences of zenith-distance. The value in arc of one revolution of the screw, as ascertained from numerous careful observations at the Washington Observatory, is 68.\"698; and, as the graduated screw-head is divided into 100 parts, each of which can be read to tenths by estimation, it affords a measure of .069 of a second of arc. The whole number of turns is read off on a comb at the side of the field of view, and these, for convenience, are numbered consecutively from left to right as viewed, the central tooth being Number 20. Parallactic motion is given to the eye-piece by a long-pitched screw, so that stars can be accurately observed either on the north or the south of the middle of the field.\n\nObserving-hut—For shelter, I had a roomy and well-designed portable wooden observatory, with the requisite openings, which was given to me by Lieutenant-Commander GREEN.\n\nThe instrument-pier is of Canton blue bricks set in Portland cement, and rests on a shallow footing of brickwork, but not isolated below the ground-level, though it has no contact with any part of the hut. This was found to answer very well, no unsteadiness having been perceptible during ordinary movements in the hut.\n\n## Zenith-telescope method of determining the Latitude\nIn determining the latitude or declination of the zenith by the zenith-telescope method, the general procedure is as follows. Pairs of stars are chosen for observation, such that their meridianal zenith-distances shall be nearly equal, but on opposite sides, north and south, of the zenith, and that they shall pass the meridian within a few minutes of one another. There is no fixed limit to the zenith-distance suitable for this method, but it is desirable not to pass much beyond 25°, and in this determination I have limited myself to within 20°, while the mean for all the pairs observed is just 8°. For difference of zenith-distance of any pair of stars the usual limit is 20' of arc, in order that the stars may not be too near the edge of the field, and also that the resulting latitude may not be too largely affected by any error in the adopted value of the micrometer-screw. I have practically conformed to this limit on the present occasion, having in the case of two pairs only passed a little beyond it. The difference of Right Ascension should be not less than one minute, in order to allow time for reading and reversal, and it should not exceed twenty minutes, on account of the risk of instrumental changes in the interval, resulting from changes of temperature. About sixteen minutes is the greatest interval for any pair used in this determination.\n\n## Method of observation\nFor observing, the instrument, having been previously adjusted carefully to the meridian, and its cross-axis levelled, is clamped at the mean of the zenith-distances of the two stars, and then directed at the proper time to the star which will pass the meridian first of the pair, the bubble of the telescope-level being brought to the middle of its run by the screw for that purpose. This star is bisected with the micrometer thread at or near the moment of its passage over the middle transit thread, the time being noted and, immediately afterwards, the level and micrometer-screw readings. The instrument (telescope and level remaining clamped) is then reversed, and it will evidently now be inclined to the zenith at the same angle as before, but on the opposite side of it, so that the second star will at the proper time appear in the field. This star is bisected at or near its transit, and the chronometer, level and micrometer read as before. The above constitutes one complete observation for latitude.\n\n## Advantages and disadvantages of the method\nThe chief advantages of this beautiful method over all others are—that it substitutes for measurements of large arcs small micrometric measurements of difference only of zenith-distance; that the time needs not be accurately known, an error of two or three seconds being of no moment; that possible errors arising from incorrect estimates of refraction are reduced to a minimum, inasmuch as the only term involving refraction which affects the result is the difference of refraction for stars at small and nearly equal zenith-distances; and that the effects of errors of flexure are similarly minimised. Its \"weak point,\" at the present day, is the scarcity, for any station, of stars fulfilling the necessary conditions whose declinations have been determined with high precision. The stars available are mostly of small magnitudes, a circumstance which, though favourable to accurate bisection, presents the drawback that, as compared with the Clock and other Standard stars, they are seldom observed at the fixed observatories, except under special arrangements for this particular purpose.\n\n## Selection of Stars, and Computation of Mean Places\nIt follows that, when possible, stars from the best catalogues only should be chosen; and, keeping this in view, I have limited myself to using none but stars that have been observed at the Royal Observatory, and whose places are given in the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872. In that catalogue, the Mean Places of the stars are given for the epoch 1872, January 1. Those places have been reduced to the epoch 1882, January 1, by the formula,\n\nMean R.A., 1882, January 1 = A + (p + q + $\\frac{n}{2}$n + c)\n\nwhere A is the star's Mean Right Ascension for 1872, January 1, p its Annual Precession in Right Ascension, q the variation of p in 100 years, $\\gamma$ the star's Annual Proper Motion in Right Ascension, n the number of years elapsed, and c the small correction from the Table at page 5 of the Introduction to the Catalogue.\n\nIn this case, n = 10, and the formula becomes,\n\nMean R.A., 1882, January 1 = A + 10(p + q) + ...\n\nSimilarly, I have computed the Mean North Polar Distances by the formula,\n\nMean N.P.D., 1882, January 1 = D + 10(p' + q') + ...\n\nwhere ... is the small correction from the Table at page 27 of the Introduction to the Catalogue.\n\nForty-eight stars, formed into 28 pairs, were used in the determination, each pair having been observed from one to five times. The average is two times for each pair, making 56 determinations, on eleven nights in January and February. Of these it has only been necessary to reject two as imperfect. The following Table exhibits, for each star, in Column I its name as taken from the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872; in Column II its number in that Catalogue; in Column III its number in the British Association Catalogue; in Column IV its Mean Right Ascension for 1882, January 1, computed as above; and in Column VI its computed Mean North Polar Distance for the same date. Columns V and VII show the number of observations at Greenwich, of Right Ascension and North Polar Distance respectively, in the Nine-Year period 1868 to 1876, which were combined to form the Mean Places given in the Catalogue for 1872, January 1.\n\n### TABLE I.

(in seconds of time) = Ee + Ff + Gg + Hh + L + l-300 + qt \nwhere e, f, g, h, l are the constants for each star, given in the Nine-Year Catalogue; E, F, G, H, L the \"Airy's Day Numbers,\" given for each day in the Nautical Almanac; g the star's Annual Proper Motion in Right Ascension; and t the elapsed fraction of the year corresponding with the given date. The small correction for Daily Aberration has been neglected, as a very precise knowledge of time being, as already stated, unnecessary.\n\nSimilarly, for Apparent North Polar Distance, \nCorrection to Mean N.P.D. (in seconds of arc) = Ee' + Ff + Gg' + Hh' + L + l'-300 + q't\n\nThe Apparent Places thus found are those for Greenwich Mean Midnight of the several dates. The results, reduced to the several times of observation, are shown in **Table II**, further on, which exhibits the computations for latitude.\n\n## Routine of Observations\nThe instrument was erected on the 8th of January, and adjusted to the meridian the same evening. Observations for latitude were taken on the nights of January 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, and February 7. Clock and circumpolar stars were also observed on those nights, and the levelling of the cross-axis was carefully attended to. The times were taken with the Mean Solar Chronometer, `ARNOLD and DENT, No. 1,207`, kindly lent to me by Commodore CUMING, R.N., from H.M.S. Victor Emanuel. It has run pretty steadily. The use of a mean solar timekeeper for stellar observations introduces a great deal of unwelcome labour and complication into the reductions, but I had no alternative, as a chronometer rated to sidereal time could not be obtained.\n\nThe steadiness of the transit-instrument during frequent use and reversal is shown by the small change of the azimuth errors, which varied only from 6\".39 W. (horizontal value) on the 9th January to 67\".95 E. on the 7th February, the azimuth screws not having been touched after the first adjustment to the meridian; and it would appear from the observations that this change is mainly due to a slow progressive movement of the pier. Such steadiness of a portable instrument on a new and imperfectly isolated pier, extending over a period of 29 days, is very satisfactory.\n\n## Investigation for the Latitude\nFor the latitude reductions, the investigation is as follows :- \nLet Z and Z' be the true meridianal zenith-distances of the south and north stars respectively, d and d' their North declinations, and L the latitude of the place; then, \nL = 1/2 (d + d') + 1/2 (Z - Z')...........................................(1)\n\nNow, let z, z' be the (supposed) observed zenith-distances of the south and north stars; n, s the readings of the north and south ends of the level for the south star, and n', s' those for the north star; v the value of one division of the level, in seconds of arc; r the correction for refraction for the south star, and r' that for the north star. And let it be assumed that the horizontal position of the level is that which corresponds to the condition, correction for level == 0.\n\nThen, if (as in this case) the graduation of the level proceeds continuously from one extremity towards the object end of the telescope, the central division being 40.00, and if p, p' be the reductions to the meridian in cases where the stars have been observed before or after the meridian passage, and f, f' the corrections for flexure for either star, it follows that \nL = 1/2 (d + d') + 1/2 (m' - m)M + 1/4 {(n'-n) + (s'-s)}v + 1/2 (r-r') + 1/2 (p'-p) + 1/2 (f-f')..............(4)\n\nThis is the final expression for the latitude. As already mentioned, M = 68\".698, and v = 1.067. The correction to the meridian (p or p') may be computed by the equation, \np = 2 sin i cos L cos d / sin 1\" sin Z \nwhere i is the star's hour angle from the meridian, east or west; but it has not been necessary to use it in this case, all of the stars having been observed on the meridian, or so nearly so as not to necessitate any correction on that account. The correction for flexure, being only that which is due to the difference of the zenith distances of the two stars, is also inappreciably small, and has been neglected.\n\nThe correction for refraction, though small, is appreciable, and has been applied. It is found by the equation, \n(r-r') = {57\".7 sin (z-z') sec z} \nor, by (3), \n1/2 (r-r') = (57\".7 sin (m'-m)M sec L)\n\n## Tabulation of Results\nThe observations, reductions and results will be found embodied in the following **Table**, wherein \n| Column | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| I | date of observation |\n| II | star's name, as in Table I |\n| III | its B.A.C. number |\n| IV | its magnitude, from the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872 |\n| V | its position, North or South of the zenith |\n| VI | the position of the instrument, Circle East or Circle West |\n| VII | the star's Apparent Right Ascension at transit over the meridian of the place |\n| VIII, IX | the chronometer times of bisection and culmination, to the nearest second |\n| X | the interval, in chronometer time, between bisection and culmination |\n| XI | the approximate error of the chronometer for each date |\n| XII | the micrometer readings, m, m', for the two stars of each pair, in revolutions and parts |\n| XIII | the quantity (m'-m) |\n| XIV, XV | the readings of the north and south ends of the level, for both stars of each pair |\n| XVI | half the difference of the level indications for the two stars, or the quantity {(n'-n) + (s'-s)} |\n| XVII | the star's Apparent Declination at transit over the meridian |\n| XVIII | half the sum of the declinations for each pair |\n| XIX, XX, XXI | the corrections for micrometer, level and refraction, computed as already explained [see equations (4) and (5)] |\n| XXII | the resulting value of the latitude from each pair |\n\nZ = z - 1/2 (n + s - 80)v + r - p + f \nwhence, \nZ' = z' - 1/2 (n' + s' - 80)v + r' - p' + f' \nand \n1/2 (Z - Z') = 1/2 (z - z') + 1/4 {(n'-n) + (s'-s)}v + 1/2 (r'-r) + 1/2 (p'-p) + 1/2 (f-f')................(2)\n\nIn the case of the zenith-telescope, z, z' are not measured directly, but only their difference, z-z', by means of the micrometer. To find the expression for this in terms of the micrometer; let o the zenith distance corresponding to the central position of the micrometer thread; m, m' the micrometer readings for the south and north stars, in revolutions of the micrometer screw; and M the value, in seconds of arc, of one revolution of the screw. Then, for that position of the instrument in which increase of micrometer readings corresponds with decrease of zenith distance, it is plain that \nz = o - mM \nz' = o - m'M \n(z - z') = (m' - m)M................(3) \n\nIn practice, to avoid confusion of signs, this position was always adhered to. It corresponds with the precept to observe stars North of the zenith with Circle East, and those South of the zenith with Circle West.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-198 - Governor Hennessy Acting Governor Tonnochy - 1882 [3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 318836, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10]", "page_number": 393, "title": "CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10]", "content_text": "# The accounts and Books \nIf permanent arrangement proposed, is approved, I believe we shall obtain a good staff, and hope that Lord Jervis will be induced to allow both Mr. Soupkis and Mr. Bailey the Salaries of $360 per annum.\n\n(8 d.) - George Phillippo\n\nIn Acc. 2486 of 1882.\n\n392\n\nTo Barff to the Ackroyd, Registrar, Supreme Court\n\n(Copy).\n\n**General Financial Office, Hong Kong, 27th September 1882.**\n\nMy dear H.D.

G. F\nT.9.7\nNo 53 dated\n44 November 1881.\n532\n**Confidential**.\nReasons for and against the Construction of a battery at Blakang Mati South\n\n## REPORT ON BLAKANG MATI SOUTH, BLAKANG MATI EAST, AND MOUNT SERAPONG.\n\nHaving visited the proposed site of a battery on the South part of Blakang Mati Island (to be called Blakang Mati South), Mount Serapong, and Fort Blakang Mati East, we beg to report as follows:---\n\n2. We have carefully considered the nature of the localities, the present capabilities of Blakang Mati East, and the Report by Captain McCallum, especially Articles 53, 54 and 55, and 74, 75 and 76.\n\n3. Having in view the proposed strengthening of the artillery at Mount Siloso, the possibility of considerably increasing the power of Blakang Mati East, the advantage of Mount Serapong against a landed force, the disadvantageous nature of Blakang Mati Island for the purposes of landing by an enemy, the isolated position of Blakang Mati South, and the great expense that its construction would involve, we are of opinion as follows:-\n- 1st That no works should be undertaken at Blakang Mati South;\n- 2nd That Blakang Mati East should undergo several alterations; and\n- 3rd That some additions should be made to the defences of Mount Serapong.\n\n4. By increasing the power of the guns at Mount Siloso and by arranging a fire of four guns from the right flank of Blakang Mati East we believe that the position would be sufficiently protected against any attack not partaking of the character of a siege, and the dead angle off Blakang Mati South would be covered.\n\n5. We are fully convinced of the utility and importance of such a work as Blakang Mati South, but consider that its establishment would be going rather beyond the sphere of the present scheme.\n\n6. The alterations in Blakang Mati East would be as follows:\n| Item | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | The right flank of the battery to be lengthened so as to allow two extra guns bearing on the South side of Blakang Mati Island to be placed there. One of these to be an armour piercing gun, the other a 64-pounder. The armour piercing gun to fire through an arc of 165°, having Mount Serapong as its extreme right fire and St. John's island as its extreme left. |\n| | The present No. 1 gun having an all round fire to be replaced by an armour piercing gun mounted on an L.S. dwarf traversing platform on pivot, so as to fire just clear of the new guns on the right flank (this being the extreme right of the angle of fire) and from there round to the left through an arc of 270°. |\n| (b) | Nos. 2 and 3 guns, at present 7 inches 64 tons, to be replaced by armour piercing guns, their emplacements to be lowered 1 foot, and the angle of training increased 10°. |\n| (c) | Nos. 4 and 5 guns, 7 inches 64 tons, to have their emplacements lowered 4 feet, but otherwise to remain unchanged. |\n| (d) | No. 6 gun, at present a 64-pounder with an all round fire, to be replaced by an armour piercing gun mounted on an L.S. dwarf traversing platform on pivot firing through an angle of 270° from Peak Island on its right round to the South of Blakang Mati, extreme left fire to be in direction of Middle Island. |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 320039, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882", "content_text": "# Office Individual\n\n## Gost bet El Co\nPost Office\n\nDate | Subject\n---|---\n7 Oct | Telegraphic Communication\n | Kass on tortage, 1880-81\n | Astronomer Rogol\n12 | The Observatory\n | C. f Commer\n | M!

It may be briefly stated that the observatory is beyond question a great local want for the daily issue of correct time to the ships, and of trustworthy forecasts of the weather to these, and to the boat population that swarm in thousands; and that if ably conducted, its physical observations of the phenomena of the China seas will possess extraordinary value as contributions to meteorological science, owing to the peculiarly favourable position of Hong Kong.\n\nThe original project submitted in 1877 comprised two main branches of work: \n1. astronomical observations with stationary instruments for the determination of local time, and the dropping of a time ball.\n2. systematic and continuous meteorological observations with self-registering instruments.\n\nThe proposal of the Committee of the Royal Society has added to these a third branch, i.e., terrestrial magnetism, to which, however, effect is only partially given in the present modified project. I deal with this point further on.\n\n## Observatory Site\nThe necessity for the observatory having first engaged my attention in 1876, I selected Mount Elgin in the peninsula of Kowloon as the best place for the buildings, as far back as that year. And since then, all applications from private purchasers for the auction sale of this much-coveted piece of land have been refused. The conditions of an observatory site are that it should not be too distant from the harbour, that it should command a view of as large an arc of the meridian as possible, that the locality should be a rural one and as secluded as possible, and that the ground should be at a convenient elevation above sea level. The one chosen is the only spot in the Colony that fulfils these conditions, so that no doubt can arise as to the advisability of adopting it in preference to any other locality. It would be impossible to place the Observatory on the island of Hong Kong itself, near the town, as the latter, which is overshadowed by hills, has neither suitable level ground nor any sky view to the South.\n\nMount Elgin is a small hill rising abruptly from the surrounding level ground on all sides and culminating in two humps distant 300 feet from each other. The tops of these humps were levelled many years ago by Governor Sir Hercules Robinson, who had intended building himself a private summer residence on one, and Government offices on the other, so that...\n\nPage 510\nPage 511", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 321726, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-209 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [5]", "page_number": 139, "title": "CO129-209 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [5]", "content_text": "Date: 10 May 1883\n\nNo: 56\n\nLast previous Paper: No: 10807\n\nPut By: vòng cong\n\n(Subject.)

Le commandant Rivière a eu une heureuse initiative en empêchant de couper les communications que, par une branche importante du fleuve, il avait avec la mer; mais ce coup de force, venant après celui d'Hanoi, crée une situation qui ne peut se prolonger. C'est pour la résoudre que le Gouvernement a déposé le projet de loi, qui vous est actuellement soumis.\n\nTel est, Messieurs, l'état actuel de la question brièvement esquissé.\n\nII.\n\nExposé historique.\n\nDans cette affaire comme dans toutes les autres, il y a des droits et des devoirs, qu'il est nécessaire de bien définir, pour en connaître l'importance et l'étendue. Lorsque les uns et les autres seront bien déterminés, lorsque nous nous serons rendu compte des moyens par lesquels nous devons arriver, le plus rapidement et dans les meilleurs conditions, à faire valoir les uns et à faire face aux autres, il sera facile d'apprécier le projet du Gouvernement. C'est à cette étude que s'est livrée votre commission.\n\nIl serait sans grand intérêt de rechercher l'origine des relations qui ont existé au siècle dernier entre la France et le Tonkin ou l'Annam. Il suffira de rappeler que dès cette époque notre pays joua en Indo-Chine un rôle très actif. De riches Chinois, les Tay-Soon, avaient levé contre le roi Gia-Long l'étendard de la révolte. Réfugié dans l'île de Phu-Quoc, qui seule lui resta fidèle, le roi détrôné fut soutenu par les conseils d'un évêque français, M. de Behaine, plus connu sous le nom d'évêque d'Adran. Le roi de France, Louis XVI, envoya, à la demande du prélat, un corps de troupe, qui fut retenu en grande partie par le gouverneur de l'Inde; mais le colonel du génie Ollivier et d'autres officiers, entre autres MM. Chaigneau et Vannier arrivèrent auprès de Gia-Long; grâce à eux, à l'instruction et à la discipline qu'ils surent introduire dans l'armée, grâce à leur supériorité sur les chefs rebelles, Gia-Long reconquit rapidement ses États et put même imposer sa suzeraineté au roi du Tonkin, dont les rois d'Annam avaient au contraire été jusque-là les vassaux. Un traité lia alors l'Annam à la France, mais les événements de la Révolution le firent perdre de vue, il resta toujours lettre morte; un établissement, fondé dans les environs de Nam-Dinh, fut même abandonné et il ne resta du souvenir de la France que l'image de son organisation administrative et de sa hiérarchie militaire, qui se sont maintenues jusqu'à aujourd'hui. On retrouve en effet dans ces pays la commune vigoureusement organisée, au-dessus d'elle le canton et la province, avec des fonctionnaires pour l'administration, la justice, les finances, etc., comme on retrouve dans l'armée le caporal et le sergent (le caï et le doi) et ainsi de suite jusqu'au lam-binh qui équivaut à notre général.\n\nVers 1859 les chrétiens du Tonkin demandèrent secours à la France et à l'Espagne contre les persécutions dont ils étaient victimes de la part du roi d'Annam. C'est une chose fort curieuse assurément que ces persécutions religieuses, car dans tous ces pays on professe et on pratique, en toute sincérité du reste, l'indifférence la plus réelle et la plus profonde en matière religieuse. Le Boudhisme n'existe guère que de nom et le seul culte est à vrai dire celui des ancêtres. Aussi les persécutions contre les missionnaires étaient dirigées contre eux bien plus parce qu'ils étaient Européens que parce qu'ils étaient chrétiens.\n\nCette époque coïncidait avec la guerre de Chine, aussi fîmes-nous sans grands sacrifices, et de concert avec les Espagnols...\n\n-7\nNo 1889\n214", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324226, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 258, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "26\n\ndélégation qui lui a été faite d'une somme annuelle de 50.000 piastres, à percevoir sur les produits des douanes du Tonkin, jugeant cette garantie suffisante.\n\nVI.\n\nSituation au point de vue extérieur,\n\nLe projet d'une intervention énergique au Tonkin n'aurait probablement éveillé aucune opposition si quelques craintes ne s'étaient manifestées de complications internationales. La Commission ne pouvait s'abstenir d'examiner ce côté de la question. Les explications reçues de divers côtés et surtout les renseignements fournis par M. le Ministre des Affaires étrangères, nous ont conduit à réduire toutes ces appréhensions à leur juste valeur.\n\nDu côté de l'Annam, il n'y a certainement rien à craindre, la Commission en est convaincue. Déjà probablement il a cessé toute résistance. Que peut-il en effet? Le passé répond, c'est le cas de le dire, du présent et de l'avenir. Vers 1865 et 1866, les mandarins suscitaient la révolte dans nos possessions et mettaient la plus insigne mauvaise volonté dans le règlement de l'indemnité de guerre ; l'amiral de la Grandière, alors gouverneur, comprit bien vite qu'il n'aurait la paix que lorsqu'il aurait enlevé aux Annamites les trois provinces d'Hatien, Chaudoc et Vinh-long, à l'aide desquelles Hué nous tenait enclavés et nous entourait de conspirations suscitées tout autour de nous. Ces trois provinces étaient populeuses, il y avait plus de dix mille soldats de Hué, les citadelles étaient construites d'après le système Vauban. Il suffit d'une démonstration et tout se rendit; de notre côté, il fut tiré un coup de feu, pas deux, et on critiqua alors vivement en Cochinchine cet acte, qui fut qualifié de violence inutile. Les choses se passeront à peu\n\n27\n\nN° 1889\n\nprès de même, on peut en être assuré, et notre position sera telle que l'Annam devra même s'interdire ces menées sourdes dont il a usé quelquefois. L'énergie suffit avec Hué, M. Le Myre de Vilers l'a bien démontré. Que pourra-t-il en effet, entre la Cochinchine et le Tonkin, d'où il tire sa subsistance, entre la mer où il nous trouverait et les montagnes où se sont retirés ses mortels ennemis, les anciens Ciam-pois, la race autochthone, qu'il chassa autrefois du pays des ancêtres ?...\n\nOn a parlé de la Chine. Les traités de 1874 ont rejeté et pour toujours ses prétentions à une suzeraineté, que l'Annam n'a fait revivre que pour nous combattre. «Il est temps, disait, il y a peu, le Daily New de Hong-Kong, il est temps que la question de la suzeraineté de la Chine sur ces provinces extérieures à ses frontières soit réglée une fois pour toutes. Les gouvernements étrangers ne peuvent pas être arrêtés par cette prétention monstrueuse, véritable anachronisme... » La Chine n'a pas à intervenir dans des affaires qui ne la regardent pas et, comme l'observe le journal anglais, elle ferait mieux de maintenir l'ordre sur ses propres frontières. La Chine de 1883 ne diffère pas du reste de la Chine de 1839 et ceux-là seuls qui ne la connaissent pas peuvent redouter quelque chose de ce côté. Elle a bien assez à faire sur ses frontières russes, en Corée ou au Japon.\n\nLes nations européennes ne nous sont pas hostiles, elles n'ont aucun intérêt à l'être. En Cochinchine, leurs navires, leurs nationaux, leurs produits, sont admis sur le même pied que les nôtres. Il en est de même au Tonkin, elles le savent bien et elles en profitent. Dans les traités de 1874, les stipulations relatives au commerce sont toutes faites en faveur des navires, des commerçants de toute nationalité. Elles n'ont aucun intérêt à gêner notre action. Si quelques esprits inquiets en Angleterre nous regardent d'un œil jaloux, il faut bien reconnaître que les Anglais de l'extrême-orient tiennent un autre langage, et on peut ajouter que le gouverne-\n\n254", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324461, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 493, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "6628 (1888) 23 Décembre\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nQuinzième année.\n\n• 350\n\npour l'atterrissement du câble, pour la construction des guérites de raccordement, pour le passage et l'établissement des raccordements avec les stations et pour que l'accès de tout terrain nécessaire à l'exécution de la ligne soit assuré à la compagnie.\n\nA l'expiration des vingt années, il pourra être racheté le câble, sous les mêmes conditions, en faisant compte seulement de sa valeur marchande.\n\nArt. 24.

La compagnie Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph est autorisée par la présente à atterrir sur la côte du Tonkin un câble télégraphique sous-marin qui sera relié à Hongkong soit directement, soit en touchant à un point quelconque de l'île d'Hainan.\n\nLe point d'atterrissement sera déterminé d'accord avec les ingénieurs du service télégraphique français dans le voisinage du phare de Doson, d'où il sera prolongé par une ligne aérienne ou souterraine jusqu'à Haiphong.\n\nCette autorisation ne comporte aucun privilège ni monopole envers la compagnie. Elle sera caduque de plein droit si le câble n'avait pas été établi dans le délai d'un an, ou si, après avoir été établi, il était interrompu pendant une période de plus d'un an, sauf le cas de force majeure.\n\nArt. 2. On appliquera, pour le service de la correspondance par le câble à destination et en provenance du Tonkin, de l'Annam et de la Cochinchine, le tarif des taxes de la compagnie, établi en conformité avec les conventions internationales télégraphiques.\n\nLa compagnie s'engage à ne pas surélever les taxes une fois établies pour ce service sans une autorisation expresse du ministre de la marine. Toute modification de ces taxes devra être approuvée par l'administration française et ne pourra être faite que par fraction compatible avec le système monétaire français et pouvant être représentée par des monnaies ayant cours. Ces tarifs seront établis sur des bases uniformes, tout tarif de faveur étant rigoureusement interdit.\n\nLa taxe terminale qui sera fixée pour le Tonkin par l'administration française sera appliquée, à Haiphong, à la correspondance qui y sera expédiée par le câble.\n\nLa taxe de transit de sept centimes et demi par mot sera perçue à Haïphong par l'administration française, sur la correspondance de provenance et à destination autres que le Tonkin, l'Annam et la Cochinchine, qui transitera simplement de câble à câble.\n\nArt. 3. Le câble sera neuf et construit conformément aux règles de l'art et à la spécification ci-après:\n\nAme du câble.\n\nA) Le conducteur consistera en une corde torse de sept fils de cuivre du poids total de quarante-huit kilogrammes (48 kil) par mille marin de 1,852 mètres, dont la résistance électrique à la température de 24 degrés centigrades ne devra pas dépasser 12 unités BA (ohms).\n\nB) L'enveloppe isolante se composera de trois couches de gutta-percha, du système de capacité inductive perfectionné de Willoughby-Smith, alternant avec autant de couches de composition résineuse (Chatterton Compound).\n\nElle aura un poids minimum de 63 kilogrammes par mille marin. Dans les essais qui pourront être faits, quatorze jours au moins après la fabrication et après vingt-quatre heures d'immersion dans de l'eau à 24 degrés centigrades, le diélectrique devra avoir un isolement minimum de 150 millions d'unités BA (ohms) par mille marin, après une minute d'électrisation.\n\nL'isolement sera le même après son embarquement; dans ce cas, on appliquera, pour les corrections de température, les tables du formulaire électrique de MM. Clarke et Sabine.\n\nLa condition électrique du câble immergé devra être telle que, eu égard aux conditions précédentes, et tenant compte de la température moyenne actuelle de l'eau, telle qu'elle résulte de la résistance du conducteur, si l'on ne donne pas lieu de supposer qu'il existe des défauts dans l'isolant ou dans le conducteur.\n\nLa capacité électro-statique par mille marin ne dépassera pas 36 centièmes de microfarad.\n\nLes poids de cuivre et de gutta-percha seront exigibles à 5 p. 100 près.\n\nC) L'âme du câble de côte (type A) sera protégée contre les tarets par un revêtement métallique à spires, du système breveté de Chatterton.\n\nD) L'âme sera revêtue d'une bonne enveloppe de jute enduite de cachou, appliquée humide et d'une épaisseur suffisante pour la protéger contre l'armature métallique.\n\nArmature.\n\nL'armature sera composée de fils métalliques jointifs de nature, diamètre et nombre variables, conformément aux indications suivantes :\n\nE) Type A. Câble de côte n° 1. Longueur de neuf milles marins, dix fils de fer BB galvanisés (n° 0. 0. B. W. G.) d'un diamètre de plus de neuf millimètres (9mm20).\n\nF) Type B. Câble de côte n° 2. Longueur vingt-six milles marins. Dix fils de fer BB galvanisés (n° 2. B. W. G.) d'un diamètre de plus de 7 millimètres (7mm10).\n\nG) Type B. Câble intermédiaire.

The ceremony of laying the foundation stone was performed by His Excellency the Governor, who was accompanied by Lady Bowen and the Misses Bowen, and the Officers of his Staff. Amongst \n\nthe large assemblage present were Bishop Burdon. Admiral Sir W. M. Dowell, K.C.B., Col. Walker, R.E., Hon. F. Stewart, Hon. E. L. O'Malley, Mr. Justice Russell, Hon. J. M. Price, Hon. A. Lister, Hon. H. G. Thomsett, Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. T. Jackson, Hon. Wong Shing, Rev. W. Jennings, Rev. Dr. Chalmers, M. Du jardin (Consul for France) and other Consuls; A number of Naval and Military officers and Members of the Civil Service, and a good many ladies. Most of the leading residents of the Colony were also present, including the principal Indian and Chinese Merchants. A mat-shed tastefully decorated had been erected and was furnished with seats for the accommodation of visitors. The decorations and all the arrangements, we understand, were due to the energy and good taste of Mr. Butler, an officer of the Public Works Department, assisted by Mr. McLeod, also of the same office. \n\nThe new College buildings which will be erected on the site overlooking Hollywood Road, purchased for the purpose by Sir Arthur Kennedy as far back as 1876, will be in the Doric style, and will be remarkable rather for their severe and academic simplicity and their efficiency to meet the requirements of the Educational Department than for any pretension to ornateness of design. They comprise a main building facing the North, flanked by extensive wings at right angles to the former, the whole forming three sides of a quadrangle, very much in the style of many of the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. The main block, which is three storied, includes a large Examination Hall or theatre, designed to hold 700 students. Spacious galleries run round the four sides of the Hall, and these, together with the auditorium, are approachable from the class-rooms by ample lobbies and wide stair-cases on both sides of the Hall. The two wings of the building are devoted to class-rooms, of which there are seven large ones to accommodate forty scholars, and fourteen smaller ones to accommodate thirty scholars each. The wings also contain the College library and the Masters' offices. In the basement the entire left wing is devoted to a gymnasium and covered play-ground for recreation during wet weather, while the right wing is divided off into an extensive chemical laboratory, a scholars' day room, luncheon and cloak rooms, and also a large store room for school furniture. It is intended to construct \n\nthe entire fabric of red brick with granite quoins and facings and the use of timber in the floors and roof will be restricted as much as possible and substituted by iron joists and cement concrete with a view to ensure not only a fire-proof building but immunity from the ravages of white ants. The lower portion of the site, immediately overlooking Hollywood Road, will be levelled and planted with trees, and laid out as a play ground. The new College will take two years to build and when completed will be the largest public building in the colony after the City Hall. We understand the cost of the work, including the preparation of the site, is estimated at about $100,000. \n\nThe \n\nC 0. \n\n9454 \n\nRECR \n\nREGS 5 JUN 14 \n\nThe proceedings on Saturday commenced by the Hon. J. M. PRICE addressing the Governor as follows:-Your Excellency, in the name of the Head Master and the students, as well as of other friends and supporters of the Central School present here to-day, I have been deputed to thank your Excellency for the honour you have done us in coming to lay the foundation stone of the new Victoria College. We accept this act as a proof of the great personal interest taken by your Excellency in the welfare of the institution and in the promotion of education in this colony, and we trust that your Excellency may be induced to remain among us to preside over the more interesting ceremony of the opening of the new College Buildings upon their completion two years hence. (Applause.) On my own behalf I have only to express the hope that the new College, when finished, may realize the expectations of your Excellency in enabling the 700 students, whom it is intended to accommodate, to prosecute their studies under improved sanitary conditions, in airy and capacious class rooms, in enabling them to attend lectures in an adequately large theatre, in giving them facilities to undertake the practical study of physical science in a suitable laboratory, and giving them the means of improving their physical training by healthy recreation in the proposed new College gymnasium. With these advantages held out under the project which your Excellency is initiating to-day, its friends and supporters are confident that the new Victoria College will not only prove a great acquisition in respect of local requirements, but that it is ultimately destined to exercise a very important social and political influence beyond the confines of this colony in the opportunities and facilities which it will give to the rising generation of the neighbouring Empire of prosecuting European studies, of acquiring European ideas, and of realizing the advantages of the civilization of the West. (Applause.) \n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-Mr. Price and gentlemen, It is with very great satisfaction that I have come here to-day to lay the first stone of the new Victoria College, the chief educational institution in this colony, on which, in view of its growing importance, Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer her own name. I know that this entire community loyally appreciates the honour thus bestowed upon it by our beloved Sovereign, the Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India, in Chinese phrase the Ta Hwang Ti of the English race. (Applause). I well remember that when I first went to Australia in 1859, as the first Governor of Queensland, I announced to the great public meeting which was held to welcome me on my arrival, that the name of the new colony (formerly called Moreton Bay) was the happy thought and inspiration of the Queen herself. The announcement of this simple fact was received by the four thousand of Her Majesty's subjects who formed my audience with an emotion rarely witnessed in so large a concourse; it was received with tears of joy and shouts of \"God Save the Queen!\" (Applause). For myself, I have throughout my long career as Her Majesty's Representative in several provinces of her Empire, always been a zealous advocate for the extension of education \n\namong all classes of the people, and I shall devote to the same sacred cause whatever yet may remain to me of active public life. (Applause. I am sure that you will all concur with me in thanking the Surveyor-General for his able and \n\ninteresting address, describing the handsome and commodious College which will soon replace the present very inadequate and inconvenient building. Mr. Price's plans have been approved by high professional authority at home, and the new College, in addition to its other advantages, will be an ornament to this grand site, overlooking the city and our noble harbour, and the neighbouring mainland of China. (Applause). And here let me take this opportunity of saying a few words of friendly sympathy to the Chinese contractors, artisans, and working men, who, by their skilful labour, will erect here an edifice scarcely more honourable to the head that has planned than to the hands that will execute it. Let them be told that in England it is from their class that the chieftains of art and industry \n\nhave \n\nPage 646", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 326123, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10]", "page_number": 158, "title": "CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10]", "content_text": "155 \n\nHong Kong from Torquay.

Le Mousqueton, sur lequel se trouvait le chef d'état-major de la division navale, prit les devants du corps expéditionnaire pour aller indiquer le point de débarquement et vérifier les sondages d'après lesquels ce point avait été choisi quelques jours auparavant.\n\nUne première colonne (colonne de gauche), sous les ordres du colonel Belin, prenait la route de terre par Phu-Ocï et Phong, où elle devait passer la nuit.\n\nCette colonne comprenait :\n| Unités | Effectifs |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bataillons Jouneau et Le Tellier (tirailleurs algériens) et le bataillon Donnier (légion étrangère) | formant le régiment de marche du 19e corps |\n| Bataillon Roux (infanterie de marine) | |\n| Auxiliaires tonkinois | 800, commandant Bertaud |\n| Batteries attelées de 4 de montagne et une batterie attelée de 65mm (artillerie de marine) | |\n| Escouades de télégraphistes et une ambulance | 2 escouades et 1 ambulance |\n\nAprès avoir traversé le Day, elle devait rejoindre le lendemain l'autre fraction du corps expéditionnaire, qui prenait passage sur la flottille.\n\nCette seconde fraction (colonne de droite), commandée par le colonel Bichot, comprenait :\n| Unités | Effectifs |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bataillons Chevallier, Dalieu et Reygasse (infanterie de marine) | sous les ordres du colonel de Maussion |\n| Bataillon des fusiliers marins | commandant Laguerre |\n| Batteries traînées de 4 de montagne (artillerie de marine) | 3 batteries |\n| Batterie de 65mm du corps de débarquement de la division navale | |\n| Escouades de télégraphistes et une ambulance | 2 escouades et 1 ambulance |\n\nLa flottille se composait ainsi qu'il suit :\n- Le Pluvier, la Trombe et l'Eclair, portant ensemble environ 1,500 hommes\n- Les petites canonnières Hache, Mousqueton, Yatagan, surveillant et protégeant la marche\n- La Fanfare, mouillée depuis longtemps au-dessus de Palan, dégageant le cours du fleuve en amont\n- Trois chaloupes à vapeur, chargées des communications\n- Un grand nombre de remorqueurs et de jonques, portant le reste des troupes et le matériel\n\nLa batterie de 80mm de campagne avait été embarquée, comme réserve, dans le chaland le Guan-Cam.\n\nLa Surprise restait à Hanoi pour protéger la ville et le cours du fleuve en aval.\n\nJ'avais mon pavillon sur le Pluvier.\n\nCe n'est pas seulement afin d'accélérer le mouvement que je dirigeais une partie du corps expéditionnaire par le fleuve. Presque certain que l'ennemi ne nous attendait point à l'endroit choisi pour le débarquement, je comptais que cette colonne donnerait à l'autre un vigoureux appui, si le passage du Day était disputé.\n\nLa flottille remonta le fleuve sans autre incident que quelques coups de hotchkiss tirés à grande distance sur des pavillons blancs qu'on aperçut près d'une pagode de la rive gauche, aux environs de Palan.\n\nÀ trois heures trente, je quittai le Pluvier et me transportai sur l'Eclair avec le colonel Bichot, le colonel Badens, le colonel Révillon et mon état-major général.\n\nLes troupes de la colonne étaient fatiguées ; il fallait attendre au lendemain pour franchir l'espace de 5 ou 6 kilomètres qui nous séparait des ouvrages avancés de Sontay.\n\nLe 12, à six heures et demie du matin, le corps expéditionnaire se mit en marche sur deux colonnes. Celle de gauche, commandée par le colonel Belin, suivait la grande digue intérieure ; celle de droite, commandée par le colonel Bichot, s'avançait par la route qui borde le Song Cui, tandis que la flottille la suivait à petite vitesse sans dépasser la tête des troupes.\n\nLe débarquement commença sous la direction du capitaine du Mousqueton et continua sans relâche au fur et à mesure que les navires chargés de troupes venaient accoster. Pendant ce temps, le Pluvier et les petites canonnières protégeaient l'opération, qui ne fut d'ailleurs nullement inquiétée par l'ennemi.\n\nÀ six heures du soir, infanterie, artillerie, chevaux et bagages étaient à terre.\n\nLes bataillons, aussitôt formés, avaient reçu l'ordre de pousser en avant, perpendiculairement au fleuve, jusqu'à la grande digue, située à deux ou trois kilomètres à l'intérieur, et de prendre leurs cantonnements en s'échelonnant dans les divers villages situés sur cette ligne.\n\nJe plaçai mon quartier général sur le bord du fleuve, restant ainsi en communication avec la flottille et avec le poste de télégraphie optique de Palan.\n\nCe poste me donna le soir même des nouvelles de la colonne de gauche.\n\nLe colonel Belin s'était avancé sans incident jusqu'au Day, y avait trouvé les jonques destinées à établir un pont ; il comptait le construire pendant la nuit et traverser le lendemain matin de bonne heure.\n\n### Description de Sontay\n\nIl convient, avant de commencer le récit des combats qui ont amené la prise de Sontay, de donner une description détaillée des nombreux ouvrages que l'ennemi avait accumulés aux abords de cette ville et qui en faisaient une forte place de guerre.\n\nLa citadelle de Sontay, située à 2 kilomètres du fleuve environ, forme un carré de 300 mètres de côté, entouré d'un mur en maçonnerie de 5 mètres de hauteur. Le mur est couronné de fraises constituées par des bambous croisés et liés entre eux. Cette ligne de fraises fait saillie à l'extérieur sur une largeur de deux mètres et présente un obstacle sérieux à l'escalade.\n\nLa partie supérieure du mur forme parapet de 1 mètre de largeur, sur lequel sont disposées des plates-formes pour l'artillerie et des abris pour les défenseurs. À 80 centimètres au-dessous de la crête du mur règne un terre-plein.\n\nAu milieu de chaque face se trouve une demi-tour circulaire de 30 mètres de diamètre, dont le flanc droit est percé d'une porte vadée. Un pont massif en briques traverse le fossé dans la direction de la capitale de la demi-tour. Une porte en bambous ferme l'entrée du pont ; une porte massive en bois ferme l'accès dans la demi-tour et dans la citadelle. La porte de l'Est est murée.\n\nUn fossé d'environ 20 mètres de large, profond de 3 mètres et rempli d'eau sur une profondeur de 1 mètre, entoure le rempart, dont il est séparé par une épaisse berme ou bande de terre de 8 mètres de large appelée Chemin des Éléphants ; les lèvres du fossé sont à pic et revêtus de maçonnerie.\n\nÀ l'intérieur de la citadelle, on distingue la tour en briques, de 18 mètres de hauteur, qui domine au loin. Le reste de la citadelle est occupé par les maisons des mandarins, les magasins à riz, vastes bâtiments visibles à l'extérieur, et d'autres édifices publics.\n\nAutour de la citadelle se trouve la ville, qui se compose de quatre rangées de maisons en briques ou en torchis disposées le long des routes aboutissant aux quatre portes de l'enceinte extérieure. Ces portes sont en maçonnerie massive ; celles de l'Est et de l'Ouest sont murées en terre, celles du Nord et du Sud seules peuvent s'ouvrir : les portes sont reliées par un retranchement composé d'un parapet en terre de 4 à 5 mètres de hauteur, percé d'embrasures et de créneaux revêtus en bois de clayonnage, permettant aux défenseurs de tirer le fusil ou le canon sans être vus de dehors. Le parapet est entouré d'un fossé de...\n\n### Suite des opérations\n\nDans la matinée du 12, je parcourus les positions avec le colonel Bichot et le chef d'état-major et je reconnus le pays. Complètement plat, et relativement sec à cette époque de l'année, il est couvert de villages boués, généralement entourés d'épaisses haies de bambous, qui en font de petites forteresses. Ces villages laissent entre eux des espaces dégagés couverts de rizières et de champs de cannes à sucre.\n\nDans l'après-midi du 12, toute la colonne de droite fut portée en avant et établie, depuis le fleuve jusqu'à la grande digue, sur une ligne de 2 kilomètres de développement, perpendiculaire à la rive, passant par le village de Xuyen-Van, où s'établit le quartier général. Les bataillons étaient rangés dans l'ordre suivant, à partir de la droite :\n- Bataillon Chevallier, s'appuyant au fleuve\n- Bataillon des fusiliers marins, commandant Laguerre, à côté du quartier général\n- Bataillon Reygasse\n- Bataillon Dalieu, à l'extrême gauche, s'appuyant à la digue\n\nL'artillerie, sous les ordres du colonel Révillon, était placée un peu en arrière du quartier général.\n\nCependant, la colonne de gauche rencontrait de grandes difficultés pour traverser le Day. Le pont établi dans la nuit s'était rompu et le colonel Belin s'était vu obligé de faire le va-et-vient avec des jonques, non sans éprouver de sérieux embarras pour le transport des canons et des chevaux. Ce passage, effectué d'ailleurs sans résistance, occupa toute la journée du 12 et la nuit était déjà fort avancée quand les troupes purent prendre leurs cantonnements.\n\nC'est seulement le 13, à midi, que la colonne de gauche put rejoindre la colonne de droite...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 327529, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884", "page_number": 317, "title": "CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884", "content_text": "## 316 C.O. 19768 RECE REGD 19 NOV 84\n\n### M. Waddington to Earl Granville.-(Received November 5.)\n\n**M. le Comte,**\n\nLondres, le 5 Novembre, 1884.\n\nJE n'ai pas manqué de transmettre à mon Gouvernement copie de la dépêche que votre Seigneurie m'a fait l'honneur de m'adresser le 31 Octobre dernier à la suite de la notification que j'avais été chargé de lui faire du blocus d'une partie du littoral de Formose par les forces navales Françaises réunies sous le commandement de l'Amiral Courbet.\n\nM. Jules Ferry m'accuse aujourd'hui réception de cette communication dans des termes qui ne laissent planer aucun doute sur la façon dont cette mesure doit être envisagée par les Puissances amies.\n\nAinsi que j'ai eu l'honneur de vous l'annoncer, M. le Comte, au cours de nos derniers entretiens, il n'entre pas dans la pensée du Gouvernement de la République, en bloquant certains ports de Formose, de faire entrer la lutte qui se poursuit dans l'Extrême-Orient, dans une nouvelle phase ayant pour conséquence de l'armer, à l'égard des neutres, des droits conférés aux belligérants. La ferme résolution du Cabinet Français est de limiter strictement le blocus aux dispositions nécessaires pour interdire d'une manière absolue l'accès des parages spécifiés dans la notification du 20 Octobre. Pas plus aujourd'hui qu'auparavant, il n'entend revendiquer le droit qui appartient aux seuls belligérants de visiter et de capturer en haute mer les bâtiments étrangers. L'action des croiseurs Français se bornera à maintenir un blocus effectif, et à en assurer le respect, soit en repoussant, soit en capturant les navires qui tenteraient d'en forcer les lignes. Ce sont là des droits que l'Angleterre, comme la France, a exercés dans des circonstances semblables en dehors de toute guerre déclarée, et dont les juridictions spéciales des deux pays ont consacré la légitimité.\n\nNous ne saurions donc prévoir qu'un désaccord pût s'élever sur ce point, et il est à peine besoin de dire que les Commandants des forces navales Françaises s'efforceront dans la pratique de concilier, autant que possible, la rigueur de leurs instructions avec les ménagements dus au pavillon d'une Puissance amie.\n\nJe me plais à espérer, M. le Comte, que ces explications auront pour effet de dissiper toutes les incertitudes qu'aurait pu faire naître dans l'esprit de votre Seigneurie la mesure de contrainte prise par le Gouvernement de la République à l'égard de la Chine dans les eaux de Formose, et de lui démontrer, en même temps, que le Cabinet de Paris, en ce qui concerne l'exécution de ce blocus, se trouve être en parfaite communauté d'idées avec les vues exposées par le Gouvernement Britannique dans sa note du 31 Octobre.\n\nVeuillez, &c.\n\n(Signé) WADDINGTON.\n\n### Earl Granville to M.

La composition exceptionnelle de la population de cette capitale, où vivent juxtaposés, au nombre d'environ cinquante mille, des groupes de races diverses, Cambodgiens, Annamites, Chinois, Malais, Indiens, avec un certain nombre de négociants européens, exige un mode tout particulier d'organisation communale.\n\nEn ce qui concerne la distribution de la justice, le Gouvernement a préparé un projet de règlement qui, sans déroger au principe de la juridiction exclusive du tribunal français de Phnom-Penh et de la cour de Saïgon sur les sujets français et les étrangers européens résidant au Cambodge, instituera des tribunaux indigènes qui jugeront suivant l'équité, en conformité des coutumes cambodgiennes, mais en se rapprochant autant que possible des principes généraux du droit français.\n\nLa torture et les pénalités barbares des anciennes lois cambodgiennes seront abolies. Un salaire convenable sera assuré aux juges cambodgiens, de façon à permettre la suppression de leurs habitudes invétérées de vénalité.\n\nLa constitution de la propriété individuelle sera sans contredit l'une des œuvres les plus délicates mais les plus fécondes du nouveau protectorat.\n\nLa terre, au Cambodge, est censée propriété exclusive du roi; tous les détenteurs de propriété n'y sont, par suite, que des fermiers ou des locataires soumis à l'arbitraire royal, et auxquels la coutume n'accorde même pas d'indemnité pour les améliorations résultant de leurs soins. Il n'est pas besoin de s'appesantir sur un état de choses aussi barbare. L'article 9 du traité en stipule l'abolition.\n\nDans le projet du Gouvernement, on réserverait d'abord un domaine de la couronne, dotation inaliénable du souverain; le domaine public, également inaliénable, comprendrait les routes, fleuves, canaux, lacs, et leurs rives, ainsi que les édifices ou locaux affectés à des services publics; un domaine de réserve serait formé au moyen des immeubles que l'administration croirait devoir soustraire, en vue d'avantages ultérieurs, à une aliénation immédiate; toutes les autres terres composeraient le domaine aliénable. Celles-ci seraient réparties entre les communes. Les occupants actuels du sol recevront, soit gratuitement, soit à de certaines conditions, selon les cas, des titres définitifs de propriété. Le sol non occupé sera progressivement approprié par voie de vente ou de concession gratuite.\n\n## 37\n\nN 5482\n\nQue l'administration croirait devoir soustraire, en vue d'avantages ultérieurs, à une aliénation immédiate; toutes les autres terres composeraient le domaine aliénable. Celles-ci seraient réparties entre les communes. Les occupants actuels du sol recevront, soit gratuitement, soit à de certaines conditions, selon les cas, des titres définitifs de propriété. Le sol non occupé sera progressivement approprié par voie de vente ou de concession gratuite.\n\nL'esclavage, dont le maintien sous notre Protectorat serait une honte pour la France républicaine, est aboli par l'article 8 de la convention.\n\nNous avons dit plus haut les traits particuliers que cette triste institution affecte au Cambodge.\n\nIl serait malheureusement illusoire de vouloir la faire disparaître d'un trait de plume. Aussi le Gouvernement a-t-il arrêté des mesures de transition, nécessitées par l'état social du Cambodge, qui assureront le résultat final dans un délai relativement court. La responsabilité familiale, l'une des causes les plus iniques de l'esclavage au Cambodge, serait dès à présent supprimée.

This work is progressing satisfactorily.\n\n## \nThe length of Praya Wall existing in Hongkong and Kowloon is 8 miles and the number of Public Piers is 19. The total expenditure under this heading includes $709.84 spent on the new pier at Yaumati.\n\n## Maintenance of Lighthouses\nThe Lighthouses, three in number, have required no extensive repairs.\n\n## Maintenance of the Disinfector\nIt is satisfactory to record that the Disinfector has seldom been required during the past year. The expenditure under this heading includes the cost of the watchman.\n\n## Dredging Foreshores\nDuring the past year 37,713 cubic yards of material have been removed from the Harbour at a cost of $10,614.19 including the cost of maintenance of one Priestman's dredger.\n\n## Miscellaneous Works\nWith the exception of the repair of the sea wall and roadway along the south side of Causeway Bay, no works of any importance requiring special remark have been carried out under this heading.\n\n## Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria\nThe total length of streets and roads in the City is about 35 miles, about 24 miles of which have been re-made and the remainder kept in repair. The roads and streets particularly in the central portion of the City have been much cut up by the laying of new sewers and water pipes and until such operations are complete it is practically throwing money away to attempt to maintain them in such a condition as would, under ordinary circumstances, be considered satisfactory. During the latter part of the year in such portions of the City as the operations of the Water and Drainage Department were practically completed, the roads and streets have been taken in hand many of which are now in a satisfactory state of repair.\n\n## \nThe Bridges have all been maintained in a satisfactory condition except the Praya Bridge over the Bowrington Canal which is now undergoing reconstruction and will be referred to under the heading \"Extraordinary Public Works.\"\n\n## Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria\nThe roads outside the City have received a good deal of attention during the past year and extensive repairs have been carried out in many instances specially to those from Little Hongkong to Stanley, Stanley to Shaukiwan, Tytam Tuk to Tytam Reservoir, and from Tytam Gap to Cape D'Aguilar.\n\n## \nThe general repair of the roads in the Hill District is now in hand.\n\n## \nDuring the gale of July last a portion of the sea wall on the Shaukiwan Road, some 100 lineal yards in length, was carried away and with it a part of the road. A new wall has been built and the road repaired.\n\n## \nA new road 500 lineal yards in length has been constructed from Shaukiwan to A-Kung-Ngam.\n\n## \nThe existing Bridges have been kept in a thorough state of repair. There are, however, three bridges on the Stanley Road, viz.: two in Deep Water Bay and one at Tsinshaiwan which were destroyed some years ago and never reinstated. I am of opinion that now that this road has been put in a good state of repair and is becoming more used these bridges should be reinstated; the reconstruction of which I propose to deal with in a separate report.\n\n## \nThe total length of roads outside the City is about 50 miles including the Aberdeen and Shaukiwan Carriage Roads.\n\n## Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon\nThe Roads at Tsimshatsui, Yaumati and Hung Hom have been extensively repaired.\n\n## \nSix hundred (600) lineal yards of new roads are in course of construction and are now nearly completed. Fifteen hundred and fifty (1,550) lineal yards of new roads have been completed, the most important of which is the road along the southern shore from Tsimshatsui to Hung Hom providing means of communication by jinricksha between Tsimshatsui Pier and Hung Hom, a distance of about two miles.\n\n## \nTen hundred and twenty (1,020) lineal yards of streets at Hung Hom have been kerbed and channelled and the footways concreted.\n\n## \nThe total length of roads and streets in Tsimshatsui, Yaumati and Hung Hom is about 9 miles.\n\n## \nA new bridge has been constructed over the stream at the north end of Yaumati Village and the Swing Bridge on the Praya over the entrance to the Police dock which was damaged by the gale in July last has been repaired.\n\n## Street Lighting\nPrevious to 1st of December, 1890, the City had for some years past been lighted exclusively by gas supplied by the Hongkong and China Gas Company. At the commencement of 1891 there existed 857 lamps.\n\nIn October, 1890, a contract was entered into with the Electric Company for the erection of 64 arc lights in the central and eastern portions of the City. These were first lighted in December, 1890.\n\nIn April last a contract was made for the erection of eleven additional lamps which were lighted in September last.\n\n## \nThe total number at present erected is therefore 75, the estimated candle power of which is 150,000 and the annual cost of lighting $22,000.\n\n## \nThere at present exist in addition to electric lights 653 gas lamps exclusive of those in the Military Cantonment. The annual cost of lighting and maintaining which is $23,000.\n\n## \nIn addition to the foregoing there are fifteen gas lamps in the Military Cantonment towards which the Colony pays $250.50 per annum.\n\n## \nMaking the total annual cost of lighting the public thoroughfares of the City $45,750.50.\n\n## \nThe following is a short description of the system of electric lighting adopted; for much of the information I am indebted to Mr. W. H. WICKHAM, the Company's Engineer, under whose supervision the work has been carried out:\n\n## \nThe Central Station of the Electric Company is situated in Wing Fung Street, in which is installed the Plant for supplying the arc lamps in the public streets.\n\n## \nThe Plant consists of 3 engines driving 3 dynamos of the type known as \"Brush Series Arc Light Dynamos\" each dynamo being capable of supplying 50 to 55 arc lamps of 2,000 candle power nominal. One of these Engines and Dynamos are held in reserve.\n\n## \nThe 75 arc lamps, at present supplied, are connected in two separate circuits, one supplying 39 lamps and the other 36 lamps, arranged so that the first circuit supplies the lamps in the central and western portions of the City on the Queen's Road level, and the second supplies the lamps in the upper portion of the City and Queen's Road East.\n\n## \nThe total length of conducting wires employed is about eleven miles. The conductor used consists of a strand of 7 wires each No. 16 B. W. G. tinned hard-drawn copper, and is continuously insulated with vulcanized india-rubber protected by a braided covering, and is suspended from a steel wire bearer consisting of a strand of 3 No. 14 B. W. G. galvanized wires, these bearers being supported on Porcelain Fluid Insulators carried overhead on Tubular Iron Poles along the thoroughfares of the City.\n\n## \nThe arc lamps are known as the Brokie-Pell type, and contain regulating mechanism to adjust the Carbon Pencils as these consume. The Carbon Pencils are renewed in each lamp daily.\n\n## \nThe Electric Difference of Potential at the terminals of the two circuits of 39 and 36 lamps is about 2,050 and 1,930 volts respectively, and the current supplied in either circuit ranges between 9.6 and 9.3 amperes. As the lamps are connected in series the current supplied to the most distant lamp is of the same value as that supplied to the nearest.\n\n## LAND SURVEY DEPARTMENT\nDuring the past year ten land sales have taken place. The area leased being 780,494 square feet, premiums realised $35,839. Eight extensions of existing lots of a total area of 355,020 square feet have been granted. The amount of premium paid is $7,007.55 and annual Crown rent $454.\n\n## \nSurveys have been made, boundaries corrected and plans and particulars for the preparation of 90 new leases forwarded to the Land Office.\n\n## \nSurveys have been made of Wongneichong, Aberdeen and a portion of Kowloon in all covering an area of 143.29 acres.\n\n## \nOne thousand five hundred and eighty-four (1,584) Squatter's licences have been issued, the fees for which amount to $5,502.28.\n\n## \nA complete return has been prepared of the lands held by those on the Rent Roll and under the tenure of a Squatter's licence in the island of Hongkong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-254 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 348540, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-254 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [1-4]", "page_number": 273, "title": "CO129-254 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [1-4]", "content_text": "I have now been in a position to reply that I am not able to meet his wishes.\n\nRegards\n\nNe col.\n\nto \n\nLeeypstip \n\nHongkong, but that his claims shall be borne in mind if a suitable opportunity should occur in another quarter.\n\nI have &c.\n\n`WB & L(121)--15262-3000-5-91`\n\n**Governor.**\n\nNo. \n\nRobinson Tit \n\nDate. \n\n1892 \n\n6754 \n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nAugust 726 \n\n#1 \n\nStongtong \n\nTO. \n\nNo. 2366 \n\n**(Subject.)** \n\nNurse Thompson. \n\n\"possible successor.\" \n\n**DESPATCH.**\n\nC.

I found, however, that, despite the announcement in the Gazette that she was bound for Fusan, her agents here had altered, at the last moment, her destination.\n\nShe would, I was informed, call at Kunsan, Mokpo, and Chei-ju, but on quitting Chei-ju would proceed, not to Choa-sei Yêng and Fusan, but to Chennampo, on the Ping-yang inlet. The change, embarrassing as it might have proved, was not unwelcome, as it gave me an opportunity of again examining Chennampo, the other suggested Treaty port.\n\n## Departure from Chemulpo and Journey to Kunsan\n\nWe left Chemulpo on the afternoon of the 19th instant for Kunsan. A month earlier, on the occasion of a further experimental cruise round the coast, special correspondents of the local Japanese newspapers, the \"Kanjo Shimpo,\" of Seoul, and the \"Shin Chosen\" of Chemulpo, had accompanied the steam-ship \"Hairiong.\" The results of their inquiries are now appearing in their respective journals, and as they represent the views of those not least interested in the Corean coast trade, I shall have frequent occasion to refer to them. Mr. Osborne, moreover, the Commissioner of Customs here, who visited Mokpo at the same time as Mr. Kodera, has kindly placed at my disposal his most useful notes.\n\n## Kunsan\n\nIn common with all the ports (Chemulpo hardly excepted) on the west and south coasts of Corea, Kunsan cannot be entered except by daylight. There are no lights along those coasts, or for that matter elsewhere in the peninsula. Recently, it is not clear on whose initiative, a small Japanese Government steamer has arrived in these waters, and has commenced to make note of the various points at which lighthouses or beacons should be erected. Their erection, if it is really contemplated by the Corean Government, must in any case be a matter of time, as sufficient funds for the maintenance of the forty or fifty lights which the \"Shin Chosen\" calculates to be needed can hardly be provided out of the present tonnage dues.\n\nThe absence of lights obliged the \"Hyenik\" to anchor, or at least lie-to, until daybreak before attempting to enter the successive ports. Further delay is caused on this west coast by the obligation to wait upon the tides. Kunsan cannot be approached at dead low water, while Mokpo, as will be explained, for a few days in each month, is only safely to be entered at slack water.\n\nWe anchored, then, at 1 A.M., off the mouth of the Keum Kang, North Brown Island, bearing east, and Helen Island, north-north-west. At 9-30 we weighed, as the flood was beginning to make, and steamed up the channel. Captain Benzenius, of the \"Hyenik,\" pointed out to me, as we proceeded, certain rocks which are not marked in the Admiralty charts. Two of these are of importance, as they are close on the fairway (126° 36′ 5′′ east, 35° 59′ north). A third higher up, also on the south edge of the channel, is of less consequence, since it lies off the track, and the same may be said of a fourth on the north shore opposite Kunsan. The rock in Kunsan Harbour shown in the charts is actually some way further east. In any case, Kunsan should not be entered without a pilot or very explicit sailing directions, and it would be, even with these, a difficult harbour to navigate for vessels of any considerable size.\n\nTo the north of the channel stretch mile-long sand-banks, over which the sea breaks heavily in the winter monsoon. The port itself is formed by the Keum Kang or Satin River, flowing here east to west. The river forms the boundary between the two Provinces of Ch'ung-ch'èng and Chulla, and is the waterway by which the important cities of Kong-ju in the former province and of Chên-ju in the latter are approached. Properly speaking, the town, which is on the south or Chulla shore, is a \"chin\" or guard-station in the Prefecture (\"Kun\") of Ok-ku, in the new department or county of Ch'ên-ju. It has hitherto been the residence of a \"Sei-kun Ch'emsa,\" or naval Captain, whose public office is picturesquely situated on the top of a wooded bluff facing the river.\n\n\"The present Ch'êmsa,\" says the \"Shin Chosen,\" \"is, for a Corean official, not a bad fellow, and has undertaken to do his best for the regular steamers.\" His office, however, is in a sad, but by no means unique, state of disrepair, \"worse than many an old temple in the hills.\" I saw nothing of it, or him, for we only stayed long enough to land four passengers. It was high noon, and, as far as I could observe, neither the inhabitants at large nor the accommodating Ch'emsa took the slightest interest in our proceedings. This insouciance is characteristic of the Corean, in office or out.\n\nAs long as he has rice to eat, tobacco to smoke, and a \"gesang\" to sing to him, the Corean would rather not be troubled with trade, still less with steamers, and time-tables are a mystery and a weariness. This disposition of his, antiquated but enviable, is the great hindrance to the development of the coast trade, which, with a more vigorous race, would long ago have attained noteworthy dimensions, where both fields and waters are so prolific.\n\nIt would be a mistake, however, to despair of the future of the many ports of the peninsula, especially when regard is had to the growth of Chemulpo during the twelve years it has been opened. Kunsan, though offering no great facilities for steamer traffic, is the port for the two most fertile provinces of Corea. At present, it is practically a storehouse for Government rice, which, until the changes of the past twelve months, had to be sent hence on Government account in bulk to Seoul.\n\nSome 30 miles up stream, at a point accessible by junks of 800 piculs (50 tons) burthen, is the entrepôt of Kang-Kyeng, a place even now of considerable trade. It is, it may be remarked, a noteworthy feature of Corea that all, or almost all, of her chief towns are situated some miles from the sea, so that a very imperfect idea of the commerce or population of the country could be gathered from a review of her coasts, the only access possible till two decades ago. In this lies, indeed, hope for the future prosperity of her ports, which, however unfrequented now, may be expected under favourable conditions to attract what traders there are from the inland cities to the coast.\n\nThe present population of Kunsan is set down as seventy or eighty households, or some 350 souls. \"The people,\" says the \"Shin Chosen,\" \"are mild and tractable in disposition, and submissive to foreigners, towards whom they indulge in no vituperation or abuse.\" The staple article of export, as has been said, is rice; other goods are screens (from Ch'ênju), fans, paper, and hempen cloth.\n\n## Pêpsêng and Mokpo\n\nThe next place of importance along the coast to the south of Kunsan is Pêpsêng, which is not on the list of ports visited by the regular steamers. The town is, nevertheless, a busy centre of native trade, and a congregating place for fishermen. The anchorage, however, is bad, as there is not sufficient water for steamers to approach the shore.\n\nI may remark, in passing, that the anchorage is not situated off the \"Popsong\" of the charts, but by two islets west-south-west of Mujang. We did not visit it, but pursued our way southwards, anchoring for the night between Fire Island and the Clump group. Weighing at daybreak (4·30) we reached Mokpo at 9 A.M.\n\nThe course followed has only been surveyed as far as the South Tivin, and even where it has been surveyed, the charts leave certain dangers still unmarked. The approach, of which a more reliable survey has been made, that through Lyne south to the south of Mokpo Forks, I shall have occasion to refer to later.\n\nWhat, through ignorance of its native name and self-restraint, or failing imagination on the part of the Hydrographers, I have called \"Mokpo Forks,\" is a narrow and deep cleft which forms the only steamer entrance to Mokpo. The south bank is the mainland, lofty hills covered with pines; the northern is an island almost equally beautiful, the larger of two which shut in the Mokpo River. The strait is only some half-mile long, and 500 yards or so in breadth, but it is the main exit for the waters of the Yong-san-kang, and the wide basin into which they empty.\n\nThe tides at Mokpo, 7 miles from the Forks, rise 12 feet at springs, and all the vast body of water such a rise implies, or nearly all of it, has to find its way twice a-day through that narrow channel. The consequence is, that for some four hours for two or three days after each full and change, a current races through the Forks which a steamer of 12 knots can hardly stem. Once through, close attention to the sailing directions of the China Sea Directory will bring the vessel by a zigzag course to Mokpo.\n\nThe chief, if not the only, danger is a shoal, marked on the chart, near the northern end of the bend above the Forks, formed doubtless by the swirling of the water round the remarkable wall of cliffs opposite to the Mokpo Peninsula.\n\nThe chief feature of that peninsula is the hill of Yu-tal, 750 feet in height. Round this, as a centre, the river winds through an arc of 90 degrees until, at a point some 2 miles south-east of the hill-top, it is joined by a creek from the north. At the junction of the two is the tiny walled town of Mokpo.\n\nThe accompanying sketch plan will give some idea of the surroundings of this townlet. Mokpo is built upon two boulder masses, which together must have at one time formed an island. The erstwhile island is now connected with the peninsula by two causeways, one running, roughly speaking, north from the north-west angle of the town, the other west from the south-west angle. All between these two causeways, that is, all space west of the town, but east of the mainland hills, is reclaimed or reclaimable ground, covered, as I saw it, with paddy, except that just above the southern dyke are the usual waterpools and beds of rushes. South of that dyke, which is some 300 yards long, stretches at low water a bank of mud, but at high water the whole of this is covered.\n\nThe creek east of Mokpo town is a most promising element in the port, for even at low water springs it is, in the reach alongside the town, from 20 to 30 feet deep. The one drawback to Mokpo as an anchorage—a drawback it shares with all ports on the east coast—is the strength of the tide, particularly the ebb-tide. But in the creek this is less felt.

End with the words \"length of time.\")\n\nAt low water the sand becomes firm, and may be walked on in safety; but as the tide rises the water saturates the mass of sand and transforms it into a pulp of the consistency of mud. It is when in this state that the Sands are most dangerous; not only because ships that then strike on them gradually sink into the ooze, but also because then the sand shifts from place to place, so as to render charts useless for any length of time.\n\nIt is noble to seek truth, and it is beautiful to find it. It is the ancient feeling of the human heart, that knowledge is better than riches; and it is deeply and sacredly true.\n\nTo mark the course of human passions as they have flowed on in the ages that are past; to see why nations have risen and why they have fallen; to speak of light, and heat, and the winds; to know what man has discovered in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; to hear the chemist unfold the marvellous properties which the Creator has locked up in a speck of earth—it is worth while in the days of our youth to strive hard for this great discipline.\n\nA life of knowledge is not often a life of injury and crime. Whom does such a man oppress? With whose happiness does he interfere? In the pursuit of science he injures no man, and in the acquisition he does good to all.\n\n127 words usual length.\n\n### Class II. A.\n\nIt is evidently the continent most thickly covered with cities and towns; and with high-roads, canals, and railways, weaving the towns into a living and ever-busy net-work. There civilisation has struck its roots deepest, and stretched its branches widest. There the arts and sciences have reached their highest development. There the great mechanical inventions which have knit the world into one vast inter-dependent society have had their birth; and commerce, manufactures, and agriculture have been brought to the greatest perfection. Europe has laid the whole world under contribution for the supply of her physical wants. In return the whole world has been laid under obligation to her for not less real benefits.\n\n100 words usual length.\n\n### Class II. B.\n\nThree ships are placed to warn sailors of their approach to this dangerous shoal—one at the southern extremity, and one on a point about the middle of the western side.\n\n### Class III. B.\n\n(Translate the first part only. End with the words \"of the law.\")\n\nThe Charter, creased with age and injured by fire, but with John's seal hanging to it, is still to be seen. When it is looked into, it seems to do very little. It bound the king not to demand money from his people without the consent of the great vassals and of the burghers of the cities; it required that no one should be made an officer of justice unless he had a knowledge of the law, and that the chief court of justice should not move about with the king, but be always in one place.\n\nNor was the king to sell, refuse, or delay justice to any man, nor to seize the person or goods of any freeman without the lawful judgment of his peers,—i.e., equals—according to the law of the land.\n\n### Class IV. A.\n\n(Translate the first part only. End with the words “front ranks.”)\n\nSometimes the people turn out of the village which the locusts are approaching, and attempt to stem the torrent. They dig trenches, they kindle fires, they attack them with branches of trees, they sweep them back with brushes; but all to no purpose. The trenches become filled with living locusts, the fires are smothered with dead ones, and the vast column moves on in complete ignorance of the fate of the front ranks.\n\nAs for attempting to brush away this terrible enemy, one might as well expect to sweep back the flowing tide with a broom. Even the direction of the march cannot be changed. A common instinct seems to carry them right onward. They pursue their line of march with the regularity of a disciplined army.\n\n### Class IV. B.C.\n\n(Translate the first part only. End with the word \"fatigue.\")\n\nThe wise Romans made excellent roads, extending through all parts of their empire; and some of them can yet be traced in England, running along as straight as an arrow.\n\nOne of these is Watling Street, so often mentioned in history. After the fall of the Roman Empire their roads were neglected, they fell into decay, and the traveller could hardly proceed without great danger, or, at least, great fatigue.\n\nIt is so with all the crafts, and they are inseparably dependent one on another. The mason waits on the carpenter for his mallet, and the carpenter on the smith for his saw; the smith on the smelter for his iron, and the smelter on the miner for his ore. Each, moreover, needs the help of all the others—the carpenter the smith, as much as the smith the carpenter; and both the mason, much as the mason both. This helplessness of the single craftsman is altogether peculiar to the human artist. Amongst the lower animals it is not seen; and they have never heard of such a doctrine as that of the division of labour.\n\n100 words usual length.\n\n## DICTATION.\n\n### Class II. C.\n\nShot is made by pouring melted lead through a colander, from a great height, into water beneath. In the descent, the shot becomes globular, from the same cause that drops of rain assume that form in falling. In various manufacturing towns shot of all sizes is made on a large scale, more or less slowly falling into water beneath. The opposition of the air causes the roundness; and the coldness of the water does the hardening at once.\n\nAll but one of your horse plunged into a marsh, you came to a river, and the bridge was broken. If you tried to ford the stream, your horse might get out of his depth and then he and his rider would be nearly drowned.\n\n### Class V. A.\n\n(Translate the first part only. End with the words “her cottage window,”)\n\nThere was once a poor old widow, who, finding it hard work to get her living at home, thought she would like to go to the gold-diggings in Australia. So she crossed the sea to that far-off country, taking with her only the treasures she possessed. One of these was a pet skylark, which had been used to live in a small wicker cage, outside her cottage window.\n\nWhen she was at home, she and her neighbours used to sit under her door, taking their dinners. Day after day, the lark sang his happy song beside her door. She listened, and it cheered her. When she got to Australia, she hired a hut, and got her living by washing the gold-diggers' clothes, and it cheered her at her work.

The distribution of such stamps throughout the Union is intended for purposes of reference and record, and I consider that Colonial Post Offices should adopt in regard to all such questions the sound policy adopted by the Imperial Post Office, and should discourage philatelic dealings on the part of a Department, which exists primarily for the conveyance and delivery of correspondence, and issues postage stamps only as a convenient mode of obtaining payment beforehand for the services rendered.\n\n3. The sale therefore of the specimens in question should be prohibited.\n\n4. If the Government of your Colony does not wish to keep the spare specimens in its possession, they can be sent to the General Post Office, London, where they would be of use to meet official applications for specimen postage stamps.\n\nThe Officer Administering\n\nthe Government of\n\nPage 13", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-278 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 364438, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-278 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [11-12]", "page_number": 216, "title": "CO129-278 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [11-12]", "content_text": "ऋ\n\nhuyes.\n\nin fact the had She is rather resting under\n\nto read me te neum Wdation\n\nnaly\n\nthis Ecatment,\n\n← 2313\n\nLetter\n\nof your turdag\n\nsteritag\n\nThe\n\nhun 4\n\nlays\n\nhat\n\nwh\n\nKto staded\n\nAnviation\n\nwhe\n\nthey\n\nL\n\nlen\n\nwile do.\n\nThanks way\n\nhur Pigit is\n\ninformed\n\nSo\n\ncatable.

Mr. PLUMMER observed 402 transits for time determination in 1897, and the axis of the transit instrument was levelled 171 times, upon each day when observations were made. The rate of the standard clocks are given in the accompanying tables (III and IV), and are compared with the rates given by the formula at the head of the tables. No alteration has been made to either clock during August the year, and although it was found necessary to clean the contact springs of the sidereal standard clock on November 29th, this was effected without in any way interfering with the going of the clock.\n\nThe errors of the Time Ball are given in table V. The time ball has twice been under repair, namely, from March 5 to 10, when the base of the piston was found to have been shattered, and a brass base was fixed to it by the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company in place of the original cast iron one; and again from July 13 to 19, when the zinc tube within the ball was found to be crumpled up and pressing against the mast. On July 7 the lock was under repair. There were five failures of the time ball in 1897, viz., on March 11 owing to an error of the workmen in centering the new brass base of the piston; on June 23, in consequence of the discharging spring being too weak; July 6 because the tooth of the lock (being much worn) allowed the piston to jamb against the opposite side of the cylinder; on July 8, because the Assistant failed to raise the piston high enough to free the tooth of the lock; and on July 12, for the reason already given as rendering the repair necessary on the days immediately following. The ball is not dropped on Government holidays; on one other occasion (Sunday, May 9) in consequence of the illness of two Assistants it was intermitted. It was successfully dropped 332 times in this year. The probable error was in January ±0.33, in February ±0.19, in March ±0.16, in April ±0.12, in May ±0.16, in June ±0.13, in July ±0.09, in August ±0.13, in September ±0.10, in October ±0.14, in November ±0.16, in December ±0.12.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366001, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "page_number": 336, "title": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "content_text": "## Table IV.\nRate of Brock Standard Mean Time Clock in 1897.\n- r2 +0.070-0.173 (r− 75°) −0.0020 (t*. — July 1.)\n\n## Table V.\nErrors of Time-Ball in 1897.\n+ means too early, − means too late.\n\n| Period | Observed rate | Temp. | T | Arc. | a | Calculated rate | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| December 30-January 9 | +1.36 | 79.1 | 4 | 9 42 | +1.27 | +0.00 | Jan. |\n| January 9-19 | +1.39 | 71.2 | 4 | 7 80 | +1.34 | +0.05 | 19 |\n| January 19-29 | +1.53 | 68.1 | 4 | 6 18 | +1.59 | 0.00 | 29 |\n| January 29-February 8 | +1.35 | 70.9 | 4 | 4 54 | +1.25 | +0.10 | Feb. 8 |\n| February 8-18 | +1.81 | 62.7 | 4 | 6 24 | +1.88 | -0.07 | 18 |\n| February 18-28 | +1.70 | 63.2 | 4 | 3 48 | +1.82 | -0.12 | 28 |\n| February 28-March 10 | +1.68 | 67.4 | 4 | 0 0 | +1.49 | +0.00 | Mar. 10 |\n| March 10-20 | +1.49 | 68.9 | 4 | 5 18 | +1.37 | +0.12 | 20 |\n| March 20-30 | +1.12 | 71.2 | 4 | 2 0 | +1.18 | -0.06 | 30 |\n| March 30-April 9 | +1.23 | 71.4 | 4 | 0 30 | +1.14 | +0.09 | Apr. 9 |\n| April 9-19 | +1.15 | 72.0 | 4 | 0 24 | +1.08 | +0.07 | 19 |\n| April 19-29 | +0.90 | 74.5 | 4 | 1 18 | +0.78 | +0.10 | 29 |\n| April 29-May 9 | +0.50 | 78.5 | 4 | 1 30 | +0.50 | 0.00 | May 9 |\n| May 9-19 | +0.58 | 82.3 | 4 | 0 24 | +0.97 | +0.20 | 19 |\n| May 19-29 | +0.51 | 82.1 | 4 | 1 12 | +0.26 | +0.99 | 29 |\n| May 29-June 8 | +0.22 | 86.7 | 4 | 1 18 | -0.02 | +0.01 | June 8 |\n| June 8-18 | +0.17 | 84.2 | 4 | 1 18 | +0.07 | 0.00 | 18 |\n| June 18-28 | +0.02 | 82.6 | 4 | 0 48 | +0.17 | -0.19 | 28 |\n| June 28-July 8 | +0.13 | 70.4 | 4 | 0 6 | +0.38 | -0.95 | July 8 |\n| July 8-18 | -0.01 | 83.1 | 4 | 0 30 | +0.09 | -0.10 | 18 |\n| July 18-28 | -0.00 | 84.5 | 4 | 0 30 | -0.03 | -0.03 | 28 |\n| July 28-August 7 | -0.02 | 83.0 | 4 | 0 24 | +0.01 | -0.09 | Aug. 7 |\n| August 7-17 | 0.00 | 82.7 | 4 | 0 24 | +0.00 | -0.00 | 17 |\n| August 17-27 | -0.03 | 81.7 | 4 | 0 6 | +0.00 | -0.14 | 27 |\n| August 27-September 6 | -0.10 | 83.1 | 3 | 59 36 | -0.01 | -0.09 | Sept. 6 |\n| September 6-16 | -0.09 | 82.7 | 4 | 0 24 | 0.00 | -0.09 | 16 |\n| September 16-26 | -0.03 | 82.1 | 4 | 1 0 | +0.02 | -0.05 | 26 |\n| September 26-October 6 | -0.00 | 81.8 | 4 | 0 24 | +0.02 | -0.08 | Oct. 6 |\n| October 6-16 | +0.10 | 70.4 | 4 | 1 42 | +0.18 | -0.08 | 16 |\n| October 16-26 | +0.12 | 76.8 | 4 | 1 42 | +0.35 | -0.23 | 26 |\n| October 26-November 5 | -0.02 | 78.5 | 4 | 2 0 | +0.20 | -0.22 | Nov. 5 |\n| November 5-15 | +0.08 | 79.1 | 4 | 2 24 | +0.14 | -0.06 | 15 |\n| November 15-25 | +0.48 | 71.9 | 4 | 4 48 | +0.65 | -0.17 | 25 |\n| November 25-December 5 | +1.11 | 67.5 | 4 | 4 36 | +0.95 | +0.16 | Dec. 5 |\n| December 5-15 | +0.76 | 71.2 | 4 | 3 54 | +0.66 | +0.10 | 15 |\n| December 15-25 | +0.99 | 68.0 | 4 | 4 18 | +0.87 | ... | 25 |\n| December 25-January 4 | +0.79 | 70.2 | 4 | 0 36 | +0.69 | +0.08 | ... |\n\n14.

[Monday 28th March.]\n\nMr. BALFOUR (Manchester, E.) said he was informed that there would be considerable difficulty without detailed examination in stating the amount expended by the Government in any one year for the study of Oriental languages. Much was being spent in tuition at the Universities of Consular officers who were about to proceed to Morocco and the Levant and the remainder on the tuition on the spot of student interpreters who had already proceeded to China, Japan, and Siam.

This question should, I think, be raised and dealt with separately.\n\n2-11 Thank Mr. Goodman \n(2) Refer to Mr. Lockhart for observations \nABC 7 Dec '18 \n\nI, Lockhart, will you be good enough to remark on a draft ordinance? \n7/12 \nThe memo \nSir W. Hamilton \n\nIt appears that there are two opinions regarding the manner in which the legislation at present in force in Kowloon should be extended to the new territory.\n\nThe opinion, which I gathered from the minutes written on my report, is in favour of extending that legislation gradually and only after experience has shown that the existing laws warrant extension. The minutes of Mr. White and Mr. ... are in favour of extension under such circumstances as to warrant extension. From a perusal of Mr. Fraser's, it seemed to me that the feeling of that gentleman and Lord Selborne, as well as Mr. Wingfield and Mr. Lucas, was in favour of this opinion.\n\nThe other opinion, which finds expression in the minute by Mr. Lockhart and memo. of Mr. Goodman, is in favour of extending at once to the new territory the laws which, to quote the words \"nominally in force, but which are in practice not enforced\", though they may be called on...\n\nI may state at once that I am in favour of the former opinion. It seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse to extend to the new territory laws which are not being enforced in the hope that they may someday be put in practice. It appears to me that the wiser and more politic course to follow would be to extend to the new territory in question only such laws as could be enforced, and after experience has shown what further legislation is necessary.\n\nPage 381", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369941, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "content_text": "## logirul \n\nOne thing I must think be allowed; \n\nI think however that when we should point out to him that if the public servant on his final retirement he again draws emoluments from Hongkong Funds, whether of his final Hong Kong Salary or Pension, he may elect to contribute to the Fund while abroad, according to the usual Rule, there would be deduction in the Colony before any payment is made to himself. We should tell him that the C.A. have been instructed to receive from him the payable quarterly with the equivalent of $160 per annum from 30th July 1897, that being the amount of his final contribution to the Pension Fund in Hongkong, - as above.\n\n1) Inform Govt saying that at present Mr L. is entitled to contribute at the current rate of Exchange, but add that he has been warned that when he is awarded a Pension from Hongkong his contributions will, according to the usual rule, be deducted in the Colony.\n\n6/6. pu96/6 \n\nAs a matter of common-sense, I entirely agree with the above. Ch. 6 W Johnson, but I am rather doubtful whether it is quite justified by the terms of S 3 of 1897. Weil distinct says that a person who leaves the Colony \"may continue to contribute .... at the same rate and subject to the same forms as if he had continued in the service of the Colony\". This is the first case of the kind, & others will be careful to note what we do. Perhaps the Crown would look at this as the safer course.\n\nIf some alteration were made, and I think in some cases it would be wise to tolerate the above dispensation beyond distinction.\n\nCertainly, Mr Wingfield, I think that we should bridge the contribute at the same rate on the same terms only if he had continued in the service of the Colony & that this means that the actual amount which would have been deducted if he had continued in the Government service must be paid by him now. To this by paying at the current rate of Exchange.\n\nThat is what he would pay if he were in the Colony. The remedy is by legislation only. Merkighes should see this I think.\n\nABC mi Wingfield C.P.I. \n\nJ am rather stupid, I am afraid, but I do not see what the question is. The question is to Mr Lethbridge's obligation to pay $4,160 dollars to the Treasury at Hong Kong as if he had continued in the public service in the Colony, by monthly payments or quarterly (I presume) in sterling at the rate of exchange for the day. \n\nI see no objection to this except for the trouble to the Crown Agent in calculating and verifying the correctness of the calculation at each payment - but there are not many persons who keep up their subscription to the Fund.\n\nI think the Crown contributions, of course, cease when a person leaves the service of the Colony. This is a Colonial matter whether they continue or not. The Colonial Govt should hand over to the Crown the amount due.\n\nBut we may note that the case of Controbutors who are in receipt of salary or pension is different, as the 4 per cent is deducted in the Colony from the salary or pension.\n\nWB & L (x)-82182-8000-6-97 \n\nBY \n\nmust on his ash tomitting 8.33 months to the Treasurer. \n\nThe case is different as regards those who are in receipt of salary or pension.

Early in November last the Captain Superintendent of Police was authorised to take steps to procure with the assistance of Inspector Lee of the Registrar General's Department and the co-operation of the Registrar General, the closing of practically all the brothels which had established themselves in the central part of the city in the respectable business and residential quarters where they have been the source of much annoyance for a number of years.\n\n3. The work of clearing the central part of the City has now been completed and 183 brothels have been removed while no less than 295 brothels, rather than remove, have closed and the large majority of the inmates have left the Colony. By the closing of these brothels 335 floors were set free of which 314 were found at the end of last month to be in occupation of respectable people while 18 were occupied by kept women or women of doubtful character and 3 were to let.\n\nNo more striking evidence could be had of \n\n**RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,** &C &C &C \n\n97", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-299 - Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 376648, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-299 - Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [5-6]", "page_number": 326, "title": "CO129-299 - Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne - 1900 [5-6]", "content_text": "# Government House, Hongkong, 30th May, 1900.\n\nI have the honour to forward the enclosed copies of the Reports of the Medical Officer of Health, the Sanitary Surveyor, and the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon for the year 1899.\n\n2. In my despatch No.202 of the 9th May, 1900, I have already mentioned the steps taken this year to increase the latrine accommodation in the City, and a committee is at the present time considering the question of a site for a new Western Market, for which Sir H.A. Blake intends to make provision in the Estimates for next year.\n\n3. Just before the Governor left the Colony, the Un-official Members of the Legislative Council asked for a Commission to be appointed to enquire into the causes for the great rise in the price of food in the Colony and I have appointed a Commission for the purpose.\n\novercrowding which probably accounts largely for the plague and infant mortality. It would seem that the inefficiency of the markets and very high rents therein, which are all part of the overcrowding, account in great measure for the rise in price of food. I hope that the necessary improved communication, preservation of open spaces, etc., are not unimportant. If everything central is in the areas already opened up and preventive measures taken in areas thus opened up, rents would then fall in the overcrowding districts and diminish. Captain Gascoigne acknowledges and says that though the sanitary stack of Hongkong is still bad and draws attention to the availability of unskilled labour, it means the improvement of communication, etc.\n\nAs all the matters referred to in the Greens' minute have been the subject of separate correspondence, I need not put them by ourselves.\n\n142123 at once.\n\nC.O. 21468 322 Arc2 5 11 00\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P., &c., &c., &c.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most Obedient,\nHumble Servant,\nJ.J.

Dr. Clark points out that there are some 35 Ordinances dealing with questions concerning the Public Health, not counting the Building Ordinances, the Births and Deaths Regulation Ordinance, and the Water Works Ordinance, all of which might be incorporated; and he had intended drafting a Consolidating Ordinance when he next goes on leave to England, which will be in 1902, as it is not possible for him to spare the time for the work here.\n\n3. The Attorney General has also his hands very full of work, and it would not be reasonable to ask him to undertake this special work at the present time.\n\n4.

My views were formed on the experience of over 15 years during which I have been on leave from more than one Colony & during which no such claim has been put forward.\n\n2. I fully agree with the proposition that in leaving the Colony for a short term of leave of absence the Governor ought to make such arrangements as will enable the work of the staff to be carried on without imposing extra duty upon an A.D.C. who is not willing to accept it. When I left I arranged that the gentleman who was to perform the duty of Private Secretary would fill any invitation cards that were necessary, a not very onerous duty in summer when but few remain in the colony who can get away: outside the filling in of those invitations which would have been done by the P.S. no extra duty was imposed upon the General's A.D.C. Every Official visit returned by the Governor's A.D.C. has also to be...\n\nI think the General has the best of the arrangement. The ADC is required and is paid for its purposes of governor when he is governor and not when he is not. Therefore when he goes on leave, the ADC's pay ought to stay behind. The matter ought to be one of friendly arrangement but if the question of right is raised the acting governor ought to have first call on the pay or so much of it, if he already has it, as makes up for the extra work thrown on him.\n\nThe Right Honourable \nJoseph Chamberlain M.P. \nSecretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nC.P.L. 2.

It is expected that this sum will be realized, but, as I have already explained, the true Revenue of that portion of the Colony cannot be hoped for until the survey has been completed and the land claims settled. As to the details of Expenditure, every department shows an increase on its establishment. This is due to the increase in the pay of subordinate officers of the service as recommended by the Committee appointed last year, and to additions to the staff of certain departments. There seems to be a general impression that certain departments—the Public Works, the Post Office, the Medical Department, and the Sanitary Department—are being unduly curtailed as regards funds, or personnel, or both. It may therefore be interesting to contrast the Annual Expenditure on these departments in 1896, in 1900, and in present Estimates.\n\n \n \n 1896\n 1900\n Present Estimates\n \n \n Public Works\n $ 85,694.10\n $123,306.00\n $138,701.00\n \n \n Post Office\n $188,201.17\n $269,480.00\n $285,294.00\n \n \n Medical\n $ 94,818.45\n $152,993.00\n $190,083.00\n \n \n Sanitary\n $109,763.19\n $130,134.00\n $146,666.00\n \n\nAs regards the Public Works Department, the Acting Director of Public Works reports that the staff is not sufficiently strong to carry out the various works and duties entrusted. Provision has therefore been made in the Estimates for two additional Engineers. It is my intention to appoint a Commission to report upon the staff and working of the Public Works Department, which is the chief spending department of the Colony.\n\nWith respect to the Post Office, every effort is being made to render that institution worthy of the Colony. It must be evident that here there are exceptional difficulties to contend against, but it is hoped that the comparatively few complaints received of late may be an indication that matters are working more smoothly. The Postmaster General, Commander Hastings, has just returned from leave, during which time he has devoted himself to inquiry into the working of the department in England, and he will, I am certain, be ably seconded by Mr. Lewis, who has discharged the duties of Acting Postmaster General very satisfactorily during the absence of Commander Hastings.\n\nI have also considered the state of the Medical Department and have decided to increase the staff at once by making provision in the Estimates for two Assistant Surgeons, one of whom will be employed as Second Health Officer of the Port in accordance with the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce. Should it be found that any further addition to the Sanitary staff is necessary, I shall appeal to you with confidence for the necessary funds. Apart from the staff, it is not improbable that very large sums will have to be expended in the near future in the Sanitary improvement of the City—sums that will absorb our balance and probably involve increased taxation.

In the first place the sum taken in the annual estimates is no authority for the Head of the Department to expend, and it becomes necessary before he undertakes any work for him to obtain the covering sanction of the Governor.\n\n10. Article 30 of the Instructions to Governors provides that authority shall be obtained by means of a monthly requisition but a more simple and practical method would appear to be for the Head of the Department from time to time, and not necessarily each month, to apply for authority to expend a certain sum, and it would be his duty and that of the Audit to see that any sum sanctioned was not exceeded without a further authority being given. The sanction to expend might be given in the form of a Government Order, and the original would be attached to the first pay-list. This becomes the more necessary owing to the accounts of expenditure being sent home for audit.\n\n11. Having obtained authority to expend, the Head of the Department will have to see that in forwarding vouchers to the Treasury they are complete.\n\n12. Works may be carried out either by contract or Departmentally.\n\n(2)\n\nALC(D)72.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-309 - Public Offices & Others - 1901.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 384142, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-310 - Acting Governor Major Gen Gascoigne - 1902 [1-4]", "page_number": 19, "title": "CO129-310 - Acting Governor Major Gen Gascoigne - 1902 [1-4]", "content_text": "DRAFT.\n\nYou\n\n4686\n\nHay Kay No. 143 The ADC...\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Fiddian 5/2 Johnson's\n\nMr.\n\nMr. Antrobus.\n\nMr. Cox.\n\nMr. Lucas.\n\nMr. Graham.\n\nSir M.

I have differentiated twelve species of Culex, which I describe at length in the Appendix. There are probably considerably more, as some of the varieties of certain species which I describe may be regarded by entomologists as distinct species. I do not attempt to follow Theobald in his new classification of mosquitoes, just published in the Tropical Journal, into twenty-four different genera, breaking up the old genus Culex into some twenty new genera, based on the arrangement of the scales which cover the insects. For instance, he now describes Culex Scutellaris and Culex Obturbans, two of the most common of the Hongkong mosquitoes, as Stegomyia Scutellaris and Armigeres Obturbans. Culex Fatigans, Culex Scutellaris, Culex Obturbans, and Culex Concolor have been described before. Culex Aulus, Culex Sericeus, and Culex Reesii are new species, and have been named by Mr. Theobald from specimens which I submitted to him. Culex Reesii he has so called from our mutual friend Dr. D. C. Rees, lately Superintendent of the London School of Tropical Medicine, who put me in communication with Mr. Theobald. The insects which I have indicated by the letters, \"n\", \"o\", \"p\", \"r\", \"r\", and \"s\", I have carefully described, but not named. \"p\" may be Culex Fuscanus; the others are, I think, new species but this question I shall remit to Mr. Theobald at the British Museum.\n\nCulex Scutellaris is the black and white striped mosquito so common all over the Colony during the day time; Culex Fatigans and Culex Reesii are the equally common brown mosquitoes, to be found everywhere and at all seasons in the evening; Culex Obturbans is the very large dark mosquito, also very widely prevalent. The others are less abundant, but for the most part occur pretty generally throughout the Colony.\n\nIt may be noted in passing that Culex Fatigans is the most usual intermediate host of the blood parasite, Filaria Nocturna, the cause of Elephantiasis and its kindred diseases, by no means uncommon in this locality.\n\nWhile Anopheles as a rule only use for breeding purposes clean water in more or less natural collections, the various species of Culex lay their eggs wherever stagnant water exists, in broken dishes, empty tins, flower pots, water tanks or barrels, drain traps, and the like. Nothing is too dirty to have its appropriate mosquito developing in it. Culex Obturbans is the most loathsome of all in its larval state, finding its most favourable conditions in decomposing urine.\n\n11. I do not propose to enter here into details of prophylaxis against these insects, which I have dealt with in special reports: but direct attention to certain observations which I made during the winter.\n\nI found the larvae of Anopheles in the nullahs throughout the whole winter, in scarcely diminished numbers, though there were few in the pupa stage, and development at that season is evidently very slow or arrested.\n\nI was able to note the effects of severe cold at the beginning of February. On 1st February, I had made a careful examination of the Kennedy Town nullah, and found Anopheles larvæ plentiful. On the 3rd there was a sudden rapid drop in the temperature, and when I examined the stream again on the 5th there were few larvæ to be seen. It seemed as if they had been killed by the cold. But fortunately I had some larvæ under observation at the time in a glass jar in my verandah. Under the influence of the cold these became torpid or sluggish, and most of them seemed dead.\n\nOn the 7th, however, the sun shone out brightly, and the seemingly dead ones as well as the others became quite lively again. It is probable, therefore, that much of the diminution in numbers of the larvae in the ravines during the winter is more apparent than real, since they are most easily recognised in ordinary circumstances by their very characteristic movements when disturbed.\n\nDr. J.

The other European Supervisor will be styled '**Superintendent of Mails**' and as these proposed changes will impose upon them greater responsibility and necessitate their working longer hours than hitherto, it is recommended that they both be allowed to draw, as from the 1st of January, 1904, their first increment, thus bringing their salaries up to £255.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,\n\n800. \n3.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 388935, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "page_number": 442, "title": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "content_text": "## HONG KONG NEW BRITISH TERRITORY\n\nUn Chan Kok \nSha Tin \nTo Shek \nNgau Chi Wo \nTake Ling \nPokong \nPak Tin \n\n= \nKOWLOON CITY \nK O W \n\nWong Nail \nMod Ping \nSiu Lek \nLAND AT Ngau Tau Kok \nKAULUNG PEAK \nNgou Pi Sha \n\nNOTE: PORTION PROPOSED TO BE ACQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT SHOWN THUS / / / \n\nBAY \nBeale Arc \n\nNam Sho \nAREA \nPak Kong \nThe Rise More \nTai Nam \nPak Wai \nHo Chung \nNgan Wai \nTung \n\nCustoms Station \nLou To \nTai Nam Uk \nHE BE \nHAVEN \nSham sai \nSai Kung \n436 \nPORT \nSH \nHang Hau \nTseung Kwan O", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 389091, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "page_number": 598, "title": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "content_text": "# DESPATCH.\n\nNo. 24054\n\n**(Subject.)** Merchant Shipping\n\n**(REGE 29 JUN 03)**\n\nI have desented to three ...\n\nLast previous Paper: No. 22556 \nsubsequent Paper: No. 26589\n\n**(Minutes.)**\n\nPW.

But if the attempt to take the trade to Dalny were to succeed, the Russians would have matters entirely in their own hands and differential treatment, of all kinds might be expected. Fortunately, it is no easy task to turn the channel. Mr. Hosie, in his Reports above quoted, describes the nature of the trade of Manchuria, and shows the advantages, both natural and artificial, which Dalny enjoys. Despite these advantages, the trade of Dalny is still practically nothing. Merchants of Newchwang, who are the masters of the situation, show no inclination to place themselves under Russian control. They distrust the treatment which they would ultimately receive in a Russian port.\n\nChinese\n\nThe railway being still in an embryo stage, the rates have been provisional up to the present time. The charges for freight between any station and Newchwang and Dalny have been as follows:\n\n \n \n Newchwang, per car\n Dalny, per car\n \n \n First-quality merchandise (piece goods, silk, &c.)\n 0.625 rouble per verst (equivalent to 1s. 11'6d. per mile)\n 0.425 1s. 4d.\n \n \n Second-quality merchandise (grain, beans, bean-cake, &c.)\n 0.50 rouble per verst (equivalent to 1s. 6.9d. per mile)\n 0.30 0s. 11'3d.\n \n\n[1 car carries 750 pouds (124½ tons circ.).]\n\nA further reduction has lately been made for second-quality goods to Dalny, varying, according to the starting station, from 0.15 rouble to 0.30 rouble per car per verst.\n\nI am informed that these rates are largely modified by special arrangements, and that it is necessary to fee the railway employés to secure quick transit. The Russian railway people have always maintained that their line would destroy the trade of Newchwang by withdrawing all traffic to Dalny, and further developments of their policy are probable this year when the line is declared officially completed.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) H.

It is essential to the sanitary welfare of the\n\nColony that there should be a chief administrative officer for\n\nthe Sanitary Department who should be skilled and experienced\n\nin sanitary matters and who should devote the whole of his time to the duties of his office. The reasons are very fully given\n\nin the Report on the causes and continuance of plague in Hongkong, para. 13, page 10, and also paras. 14, 15, 16, and I on pages 110 to 112 and show that the duties are such as to fully\n\noccupy the whole time of the Sanitary Commissioner.\n\nThese duties cannot, in my opinion, be satisfactorily united with those of the Head of the Medical Department. In an important and thickly populated Colony such as Hongkong it is not practicable to combine the experience of a skilled physician, whose life work is spent in the treatment of the sick and in hospital management with that of an expert in Sanitary matters whose training in preventive work is of a totally different character and involves many years of special study and administrative experience.\n\nThe duties of the Head of the Medical Department, combining as they do the management, control and discipline of the several Government Hospitals, Hospitals for infectious diseases, Dispensaries, Asylums, Jails and the nursing staffs, together with the conduct of correspondence with Government on these matters, the general control of administration,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391959, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 919, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "discretion of the \n\nJJ, The \n\nCA \n\nguin in for 1 of 9932/03.

If the list appears to be a somewhat formidable one, I would point out that applications for land for religious and charitable purposes are more frequent than elsewhere owing to the rapid growth of the population and social responsibilities of this Colony. Building land in accessible situations is of small extent, and therefore of such value that religious and charitable institutions are in most cases unable to bid for land in the open market. I am of opinion that care has always been exercised by the Government hitherto in considering the applications that are constantly received from such institutions, and it does not appear that Government has been too lavish in recommending free grants.

June last, I have the honour to inform you that the question of the causes of and the possibility of reducing the large Chinese infantile mortality in this Colony was referred by Sir Henry Blake to a Committee, consisting of Dr. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer, Dr. Ho Kai, C.M.G., and Drs. Hunter, Pearse, Jordan, and Herston.\n\n2.\n\nI have now to forward for your consideration the valuable Report prepared by these gentlemen. With regard to the second recommendation of the Committee, the Principal Civil Medical Officer has stated that it was intended to confine the payment of the $2 to cases of the registration of Chinese births. Supposing the number of births at present unregistered to be about half the total number of births, the amount annually payable by Government in fees would be about $2,950. The female visitors would entail an outlay of about $1,080 per annum, supposing that three such visitors should be engaged at $30 a month each. I doubted whether the expenditure of this money would serve any really useful purpose and suggested to the Principal Civil Medical Officer that it might be...\n\nAs to the proposals for the establishment of a training school for midwives, it is clear that affairs will never be in a satisfactory condition until only midwives are registered and allowed to practice.\n\nI would ask why the idea started in 1896 was found unworkable. It is not stated and is not obvious.\n\nLet Sir M. Nathan see the draft at once.\n\nC.P.L. 21\n\nWe must go very slowly with such matters in the case of the Chinese.\n\nApparently, the Journals for the training school for Midwives say, \"We hope in time we may be able to secure earlier registration of births and licensed midwifery.\"\n\nWrite to A.

Ce chemin, sur lequel pourra être installé une voie ferrée provisoire, sera établi de manière à causer le moins de dommage possible aux propriétés privées.\n\nLes constructeurs auront de même la faculté d'établir des chemins de service pour conduire aux carrières, pour l'extraction et le transport des matériaux et pour l'accès des chantiers du chemin de fer et de ses dépendances.\n\nLes terrains nécessaires à l'établissement de ces chemins seront remis par les autorités provinciales dans les mêmes conditions que les terrains nécessaires à l'établissement de la voie ferrée et de ses dépendances. Si ces terrains nécessaires à l'établissement des chemins de service sont loués à des particuliers, la location en sera payée par la Compagnie, et les travaux terminés, les terrains seront rendus à leurs propriétaires.\n\nArt. 5. Les travaux commenceront à Ho-Keou, mais il est décidé dès à présent que les chantiers pourront être ouverts en même temps sur le parcours de la voie, partout où il sera nécessaire, aux points indiqués par les ingénieurs, comme, pour exemple, pour la construction des ponts, le percement des tranchées et tunnels, les terrassements de toutes sortes, l'édification des gares et les autres chantiers.\n\nArt. 6. La largeur de la voie entre les bords intérieurs des rails sera de 1 mètre.\n\nArt. 7. Dans son parcours, la voie ferrée ne pourra, dans aucun cas, causer des dommages aux murs des fortifications des villes, aux établissements publics, aux postes importants de la défense du pays.\n\nSi l'on rencontre des rivières ou des canaux d'irrigation, il y aura lieu de les respecter, soit en construisant des ponts, soit en installant des conduites de manière à assurer leur écoulement de la façon la plus appropriée et à ne pas causer de gêne à l'agriculture. Ces travaux seront à la charge des constructeurs.\n\nArt. 8. Pour les matériaux nécessaires à la construction, il y aura tout lieu de faire usage, autant que possible, de ceux qui se trouvent dans le pays.\n\n7\n\nLes autorités locales feront leur possible pour y aider, et les agents des travaux pourront s'adresser à ces autorités pour en faire fixer le prix d'un commun accord d'après les prix du jour dans les localités considérées.\n\nMais les constructeurs conserveront la faculté de traiter directement avec les marchands pour l'achat de ces matériaux. Ils pourront faire enregistrer ces marchés par les mandarins locaux, afin de prévenir toute fraude et d'éviter toute contestation sur l'exécution des contrats. Les prix fixés seront payés par les constructeurs.\n\nLes constructeurs auront, bien entendu, la faculté de se pourvoir ailleurs en Chine quand ils ne trouveront pas sur place les matériaux et fournitures nécessaires, ou quand les détenteurs locaux exigeront un prix dépassant le prix courant.\n\nArt. 9. En ce qui concerne l'extraction des pierres et du sable des carrières, ainsi que la fourniture des bois de forêts, on informera par avance les autorités locales, qui, après avoir reconnu la possibilité, donneront, dans le plus bref délai possible, les terrains nécessaires à cette extraction s'ils sont situés sur des terres du domaine.\n\nQuant aux forêts, lors même qu'elles seraient propriété domaniale, il faudra négocier l'achat des coupes avec les autorités locales.\n\nMais si ces emplacements sont situés sur des propriétés privées, les matériaux devront être achetés soit après entente avec les autorités locales, soit après marché direct passé avec les propriétaires.\n\nLes prix fixés seront payés par les constructeurs.\n\nArt. 10. Tous les terrains qui seront seulement utilisés pendant la construction de la voie ferrée, comme, par exemple, les chantiers et dépôts de matériaux, les chemins pour les transports de matériaux, et les accès aux chantiers, les carrières, les dépôts de terre, les emplacements pour extraire les terres, les logements provisoires des ouvriers et agents de construction, les établissements nécessaires seulement pendant la construction, feront immédiatement restitués aux autorités du Yunnan au fur et à mesure de leur inutilité.\n\nLes autorités les rendront alors à leurs propriétaires.\n\nArt. 11. Quand la voie principale sera terminée, si les deux parties considèrent qu'il y a avantage, on pourra, après accord avec les hautes autorités du Yunnan, et entente entre le Ministre de France à Pékin et le Wai-wou Pou sur la façon de procéder, construire des embranchements se rattachant à la ligne principale.\n\nArt. 12. Les ingénieurs, les conducteurs, les contremaîtres des travaux, de même que tous les agents spécialistes, pourront être recrutés parmi les étrangers. Le reste des travailleurs de toutes sortes sera recruté avant tout parmi les gens de la province. Dans le cas où les travailleurs du Yünnan ne seraient pas assez nombreux, ou bien si les salaires exigés par eux étaient par trop élevés, les constructeurs pourront engager des ouvriers Chinois des autres provinces.\n\nDans le but d'empêcher que des agitateurs ne puissent ainsi s'introduire dans la province les ouvriers Chinois venus des autres provinces, de même que ceux recrutés au Yünnan, devront se présenter aux autorités locales pour se faire immatriculer.\n\nLes différents prix et salaires à la journée ou à la tâche seront fixés d'une façon équitable. Ils seront payés soit chaque jour, soit à intervalles fixés, suivant entente entre les constructeurs et les ouvriers.\n\nDans le cas d'une élévation successive des prix ou de coalition des ouvriers Chinois, on s'adressera aux autorités locales, qui feront tout ce que dépendra d'elles pour aider, et fixer les salaires d'accord avec les agents du chemin de fer et pour tranquilliser la population.\n\nSi les autorités locales ayant fixé un prix les ouvriers Chinois continuent à refuser de s'engager, les autorités locales ayant constaté le fait, la Compagnie sera alors autorisée à faire appel à des ouvriers étrangers.\n\nArt. 13. Les employés et ouvriers Chinois au service du chemin de fer seront traités avec bienveillance. Ceux qui seront malades recevront des soins médicaux et de médicaments. Ceux qui, au cours des travaux, seraient blessés ou rendus infirmes seront secourus largement, de même que les familles de ceux qui seraient tués par accident.\n\nArt. 14. Les agents, employés, et ouvriers dans les chantiers de construction seront tous placés sous l'autorité et sous la surveillance de l'Ingénieur en Chef et de ses représentants autorisés. Ils ne pourront être maltraités. Toutes les questions et affaires de procès, litiges, meurtres, vols, querelles, et rixes qui s'élèveront entre les ouvriers Chinois seront du ressort des autorités locales compétentes, qui enquêteront et puniront les coupables selon la loi.

The Political Agent, Gilgit, who has recently been touring in Hunza and Nagar, has been able to consult the Mir of the former place, and has, in consequence, very much modified the views which he held before, and which were quoted in paragraph 7 of my letter dated the 12th October, 1904, in regard to the portion of the line affecting Darwaza. The Mir explains that there is no grazing on the Hunza side of the pass, and that the people of Shimsbal (more correctly Shingshal) always resort in summer to the valley, or Pamirs as he calls it, between the pass and Darwaza. He also says that they sometimes go 20 miles beyond Darwaza for grazing, and that there is a place about 5 miles beyond Darwaza from which they fetch salt. Major Gurdon further states that the inclusion of the Ghorzerab Valley within the limits of Hunza is a matter of considerable importance to the Shingstalis, who mainly depend on their flocks for their livelihood, and to whom it is therefore a matter of extreme importance that the grazing rights, which they have hitherto enjoyed, should be secured to them. These people keep their flocks and herds in the Ghorzerab Valley in the late autumn for a period of three months because less snow falls there than in the valley between the Shingshal Pass and Darwaza. The Mir of Hunza states that the grazing in the Ghorzerab has been enjoyed since time immemorial by the Shingshalis, and he doubts whether the Kirghiz or Sarikolis even know of the existence of the valley. It appears clear that the right of the Shingshalis to the Ghorzerah has never yet been challenged by any one. In this connection, and in order to ascertain the position the Ghorzerab Valley, which is not marked on map No. 52, S. 94, I would invite a reference to the notes recorded by Major Manners-Smith, in connection with the Shimshal Pass and routes thence into Hunza, which were forwarded to you under cover of this office letter of the 1st August, 1901. The valley lies 8 miles below the junction of the Shingshal Stream with the Mustagh River (on the map wrongly marked as Oprang, vide No. 13 of the notes referred to above) and 4 miles above the point where the Oprang joins the Mustagh.\n\n2. Major Gurdon now proposes the following alignment: Starting from the Khunjerab Pass, the boundary should run south along the main watershed as far as a point about 4 miles south-west of the Oprang Pass. At this point it should leave the main watershed and continue down the spur which forms the watershed between the Oprang and Ghorzerab Valleys until it reaches the Mustagh River. The Mustagh River would then form the boundary up to a point about 4 miles above the junction of the stream from the Shingshal Pass, so that the salt deposits referred to by the Mir of Hunza may be included. From this last point it would ascend the nearest high spur to the west and regain the main crest, which it should then again follow on the lines indicated by Sir Claude MacDonald in his letter to the Tsung-li Yamên, dated the 14th March, 1899.\n\n3. I regret that the importance of the Darwaza post and of the grazing grounds between it and the Shimshal Pass and in the Ghorzerab Valley was previously overlooked. In view, now, of the Mir's assertion and Captain Manners-Smith's report, which I had not previously seen, I think that the Ghorzerab Valley should be included within our proposed border as well as the valley between Darwaza and the Shimshal Pass. If we depart at all from the main mountain crests in order to include Darwaza, there is less objection to aligning this division so as to include the Ghorzerab Valley. It is a pity to leave the main watershed at all, but the position of Darwaza seems to compel us to do this, and, that being so, it is only reasonable to include the Ghorzerab Valley as well as Darwaza, as the Mir's rights there seem to be equally strong and well substantiated. I would therefore support Major Gurdon's proposed line.\n\n## Inclosure 41 in No. 1.\n\n### Government of India to Mr. Brodrick.\n\nCalcutta, January 12, 1905.\n\n**(Telegraphic.)**\n\nHUNZA-CHINA frontier: Lord Ampthill's telegram of 16th August.

I request that I may be furnished with a map on which precise boundary you now wish to claim, from longitude 74° 55′ to 80° east, should be clearly marked. As regards boundary in neighbourhood of Shingshal Pass, is the line now proposed identical with that which you recommended in 1899?\n\n## Inclosure 43 in No. 1.\n\n### Government of India to Mr. Brodrick.\n\nSimla, August 10, 1905.\n\n**(Secret.)**\n\nWITH reference to his Excellency the Viceroy's telegram, dated the 10th March, 1905, we have the honour to forward, for the information of His Majesty's Government, a map indicating the boundary between Hunza and Chinese Turkestan, as claimed by Sir Claude MacDonald in his despatch, dated the 14th March, 1899, and that which it is now recommended the Chinese Government should be invited to accept as part of the general settlement of all outstanding difficulties in Chinese Turkestan.\n\n2. The boundary which was claimed in 1899 is indicated by a blue line; the variations now proposed are marked in red. The proposals of 1899 contemplated that the line, after leaving the crest of the Mustagh Range in the vicinity of the Shingshal Pass, should run in an easterly direction, and then turn southward so as just to include the part of Darwaza within the Hunza frontier. Thereafter it was to continue its southward trend until it regained the main crests. We now recommend that the boundary should run from the Kunjerab Pass south along the main watershed, as far as a point about 6 miles south-west of the Oprang Pass. At this point the line should leave the main watershed, run due east for about 5 miles, and then continue in a south-easterly direction until it strikes the Mustagh River (incorrectly shown on the map as the Oprang) at Kuram-jilga. The Mustagh River would then form the boundary up to a point about 4 miles above the junction of the stream from the Shingshal Pass; from this point it would ascend the nearest high spur to the west and regain the main crest, which it would then follow on the lines indicated in Sir Claude MacDonald's despatch to the Tsung-li Yamên of the 14th March, 1899.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| CURZON |\n| KITCHENER |\n| E.

I have just received from Messrs. A. Watson & Co. an application for 50,000 square feet of seabed between the above-mentioned two lots and I have also under consideration an application from Messrs. Butterfield & Swire for an area aggregating 350,000 square feet in the vicinity of Quarry Bay. Fortunately these areas are just outside the arc of fire of the guns at North Point Battery.\n\n6.\n\nBut within that arc is an area which I propose to offer to an important firm of coal merchants, Messrs. Blackhead & Co., in the following circumstances. The Company own `Kowloon Marine Lots Nos.38 and 84` and `Kowloon Inland Lot No.210`. These were purchased from Government several years ago before the question of the Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus came under consideration, have since been reclaimed and are now used for storage of coal and for coaling vessels which owing to the depth of water to seaward of the lots can lie alongside - a favourable condition somewhat rare in this harbour.

I trust that I have made clear that any possible disadvantage that might accrue to the battery from the reclamation is of comparatively little importance compared with the disadvantage of restricting the commercial development of the Colony by preventing the utilization of the sites most convenient for such development. Another point, which though of less importance should not be overlooked, is the heavy direct loss which would result to the Colonial Government by stopping the sale of sites for reclamation or by imposing conditions as to buildings which would make such areas unsaleable.

Unfortunately, however, before the tenders were received a great change came over the Stock market caused by the general state of nervousness which has arisen in connection with the Conference at Algeciras and the state of uncertainty which exists as to the political future of South Africa. As a consequence, many people who in ordinary circumstances would have sent in tenders for the Loan held themselves aloof and the Loan became very much the affair of the underwriters and those they could immediately influence.\n\nI enclose for the information of the Colonial Government a copy of the Times money article of the 21st instant from which it will be seen that the comparative failure of the Loan has been attributed to the fact that the Loan was issued as a tender Loan and not in the shape of a subscription or fixed price Loan. Upon this, I would remark that the issuers of Government Loans are always placed upon the horns of a dilemma when fixing the conditions of an issue.\n\nOn the one hand, they are told by the newspapers when a Loan is issued at a fixed price and is subscribed many times over that they have fixed the price too low and therefore given their principals away. On the other hand, they are told in the case of a tender loan which fails to go that they ought to have known better and to have issued at a subscription price, the fact being ignored that it is the interest of the Government on whose behalf the Loan is issued that ought to be the governing factor in settling the terms of issue and that the interests of the Stock Exchange can only be regarded as being of quite secondary importance.\n\n13.\n\nFor the above reasons the issuers of Loans on behalf\n\n-7-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-336 - Governor Nathan & Public Offices - 1906 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 406677, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-336 - Governor Nathan & Public Offices - 1906 [11-12]", "page_number": 682, "title": "CO129-336 - Governor Nathan & Public Offices - 1906 [11-12]", "content_text": "the Colan Kept it.\n\nSample Valise of\n\nput dam\n\nI presume\n\nthe\n\nthe fee\n\nat market rates land, and h.\n\nh\n\nthey will to thing\n\nthe military credit for (a) the\n\npremium of any\n\nValue\n\ng\n\n(b)\n\nthe capitalization\n\nI think\n\nt\n\nthe rent this is\n\nusually taken\n\nin Hongkong.\n\n4-fixad\n\n.' \n\n25-4ms purchase\n\nчто\n\nThe rent will presumaly\n\nвоно the basis\n\nJ\n\ntha an\n\ngiven for similar property\n\nwith an informim of catifaction\n\n1\n\nark for: para\n\nWhat\n\nh\n\nfiver.\n\nack:x\n\n& reply\n\nof ser\n\nX\n\n$\n\nsend\n\na\n\ni will\n\n& Layla\n\ncome, asking to that para: sho\n\n716:\n\n1\n\npromito\n\nACC 11/6\n\nalouce\n\nDr.11\n\nPage 674\n\nAny further communication on this subject should be addressed to-\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nWar Office,\n\nLondon, S.W.,\n\nand the following number quoted.\n\nHong Kong 8/1.

Her behaviour in regard to the provisions of the Treaty of Tien-tsin in this respect, of which my predecessors and I have had so uninterruptedly to complain, forbids the belief that she will reform her ways, and cease henceforth to evade her most explicit engagements.\n\nThe most recent instance of an attempt to evade the Regulations in regard to li-kin has occurred at Hankow, the details of which are reported in my despatch No. 377 of the 11th instant, but it is sufficient for the present purpose to state that the Taotai maintained that li-kin becomes chargeable from the moment imports pass from the possession of the foreign merchant into that of a Chinese purchaser, or leave a foreign Settlement for the adjacent city. In asserting this view it has frequently been found that Chinese officials ground themselves on the unfortunate promise given in section 3 of the Chefoo Convention to move the British Government to allow the ground rented by foreigners (the so-called concessions) at the different ports to be regarded as the area of exemption from li-kin. Had this been ratified by Her Majesty's Government, the practical effect would have been to convert the 5 per cent. import duties into 7 per cent. at least, supposing that in all cases transit passes were taken out to cover the goods. And, notwithstanding the fact that this Convention remained unratified till 1886, and that then, by the additional Article of 1885, the question was reserved for further consideration between the two Governments, Chinese officials have over and over again treated the promise in question as a definite Agreement on the part of Great Britain, and it has been repeatedly necessary to remind the Chinese Government that it is not, and never has been, binding on us.\n\nI am reluctantly compelled, therefore, to come to the conclusion that the China of to-day is no more likely than the China of the past sixty years to adhere faithfully to her obligations, and consequently to admit that the proposed Article in the German draft Treaty constitutes a necessary safeguard against the danger of an enhanced Customs Tariff, without any corresponding relief from the internal taxation which weighs so heavily upon foreign commerce.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nERNEST SATOW.\n\nOffice or Individual,\n\noreen\n\n1906\n\nFebr\n\nast provious Paper.\n\n70\n\n4042\n\ntsabsequent Paper.\n\nNo. 4256\n\n(Subject.)\n\nChina Trade\n\n110\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\nC\n\n4266\n\nREC\n\nIRC 5 FEE 06\n\nFurther prints as to treaty with fermany\n\nRode heerlas\n\nm. 2:205\n\nArthin\n\n(Minutes.)\n\n?

Liang Tounyen, Taotai de la Douane de Tien-tsin, décoré de la Plume de Paon, fonctionnaire de Second Rang, &c.;\n\nLesquels, s'étant rendus à Nantchang, ont reconnu, après une minutieuse enquête, que les causes de la mort du Sous-Préfet de Nantchang, Kiang Tchao-tang, sont les suivantes :--\n\nLe 29 de la première lune de la présente année (le 22 Février, 1900) M. Kiang Tchao-tang, Sous-Préfet de Nantchang, s'était rendu à la mission pour y négocier avec le missionnaire Catholique Français, M. Lacruche, au sujet d'anciennes affaires. L'accord n'ayant pu s'établir entre eux, le Sous-Préfet Kiang s'était coupé la gorge dans un accès de colère, acte à la suite duquel avaient été propagées contre le missionnaire Français des rumeurs calomnieuses, d'où étaient résultées les violences du 30 de la deuxième lune (le 25 Février, 1900).\n\nLe Gouvernement Chinois ayant de lui-même châtié les coupables, son Excellence le Ministre de France à Pékin et le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de Chine sont convenus des Articles énoncés ci-après, afin de ne laisser place à aucune contestation ultérieure:---\n\nArticle 1. Il sera versé entre les mains du Consul-Général de France à Shanghai, pour les familles des cinq professeurs tués, et en argent K'ou Ping K'ou-se, un secours de 40,000 taels outre 10,000 taels destinés aux frais d'autre lieu et du voyage de cinq nouveaux professeurs.\n\nArt. 2. Pour les anciennes affaires de Sin Teh'ouang, ainsi que pour les missions, école, et établissements hospitaliers détruits lors des récents événements de Nantchang, et pour les pertes immobilières et mobilières quelconques des Chrétiens, il sera versé une indemnité globale de 200,000 taels, sur laquelle la mission prélèvera elle-même les sommes nécessaires pour indemniser les Chrétiens de leurs pertes dans les affaires sus-énoncées, qui se trouveront ainsi définitivement réglées.\n\nArt. 3. La somme de 200,000 taels K'ou Ping K'ou-se énoncée à l'Article précédent sera répartie en dix versements de 20,000 taels chacun, lesquels seront effectués chaque trimestre entre les mains de l'Évêque Français à Kiukiang.\n\nArt. 4. Les autorités locales remplaceront, dans le plus bref délai, ceux des titres de propriété de la mission qui avaient été détruits au cours des présents événements.\n\nUne habitation sera prêtée dans la ville de Nantchang à la mission, en attendant qu'elle ait pu reconstruire une maison.\n\nArt. 5. Le Gouverneur de Kiangsi publiera sans retard une Proclamation, dont le texte a été arrêté entre le Ministre de France à Pékin et le Ouai-ou Pou.\n\nLe présent Accord a été rédigé en langue Française et Chinoise, et en quatre exemplaires dont—\n\nL'un pour la Légation de France à Pékin;\n\nL'un pour le Ministre des Affaires Étrangères de Chine\n\nL'un pour le Gouverneur de la Province du Kiangsi;\n\nEt l'un pour la mission Française de Kioukiang.\n\nFait à Pékin, le\n\n;\n\n7\n\nConformément à l'invitation reçue du Ouai-ou Pou, la présente Proclamation est, en conséquence, publiée pour faire savoir à la population de la province tout entière, lettrés et marchands, soldats et civils, que chacun devra observer paisiblement son devoir, se garder de donner de nouveau à la légère créance à de faux bruits ou d'en forger et propager à tort et à travers, et de susciter ainsi des incidents, toutes choses par lesquelles leurs auteurs s'attireraient eux-mêmes des maux.\n\nSachez bien tous que les Missions ont pour but primordial d'exhorter les hommes au bien, et que les missionnaires sont des gens convenables et polis; que les Chrétiens, à quelque confession qu'ils appartiennent, sont tous des enfants de la Chine, et qu'ils doivent obéissance aux lois de l'Empire. Pour toutes questions relatives aux unions matrimoniales, aux propriétés, aux affaires d'argent, aux querelles, aux litiges et procès, les deux parties doivent porter leurs plaintes aux Magistrats locaux, qui les jugeront avec équité.\n\nLes Chrétiens ne doivent pas non plus porter de fausses accusations dictées par des sentiments de haine ou de rancune, ni solliciter, en dissimulant la vérité, les missionnaires d'intervenir, conformément aux Traités; cela dans le but d'assurer entre les Chrétiens et les non-Chrétiens l'égalité de traitement d'où naitront d'elles-mêmes la concorde et la paix.\n\nQue chacun se conforme à ce qui précède, sans y contrevenir.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nMr. Carnegie to Consul Werner.\n\nPeking, July 9, 1906. WITH reference to your despatch of the 20th March and to other correspondence, I beg to inclose copies of a despatch and inclosures which I am sending to Sir Edward Grey on the Nanchang case.\n\nI shall be glad if you will keep a close watch on the manner in which the promised punishments and rewards are carried out, and keep me informed of what is done. You should communicate with His Majesty's Supreme Court in regard to the £700 falling to the estate of Mr. Kingham, and to the £4,000, which is to be settled on the infant, Vera Kingham, and be guided by the advice of Sir H. de Sausmarez in both matters. When you have decided where the payment of £4,700 should be made-Kiukiang or Shanghae--you should inform the Governor of Kiangsi and request him to remit that amount to your credit before the 30th September next. The payment, when made, should be reported to me.\n\nI am, &c. (Signed) LANCELOT D.

Kiang Tchao-tang, Sous-Préfet de Nantchang, s'était rendu à la mission, avec le missionnaire Catholique Français, M. Lacruche, pour y négocier au sujet d'anciennes affaires, et que, l'accord n'ayant pu s'établir entre eux, le Sous-Préfet Kiang s'était coupé la gorge dans un accès de colère, acte à la suite duquel aient été propagées contre le missionnaire Français des rumeurs calomnieuses, d'où étaient résultés les événements du 30 de la deuxième lune (25 Février).\n\nAujourd'hui, les deux Gouvernements, considérant qu'il est très malheureux que ces faits se soient produits, et désirant que la concorde règne pour toujours entre les Chrétiens et les non-Chrétiens, et qu'il ne soit plus répandu contre les missions de rumeurs fausses et calomnieuses destinées à abuser et égarer la population, ont conclu entre eux un Arrangement stipulant que les affaires, tant anciennes que nouvelles, sont réglées et terminées, et qu'une Proclamation sera publiée par l'autorité de cette province pour rectifier les faux bruits précédemment répandus.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407414, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "page_number": 710, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "DOMESTIC.\n\nIndividual.\n\n1906\n\nPrevious Paper.\n\nHONG KONG STRAITS\n\nNo. 36440\n\n(Subject.)\n\nChina Trade\n\nREC\n\n36440\n\nR 3 OCT 06\n\nTelegram from Peking regarding open trade.\n\nas to the\n\nblessings for the conflict 2 Oct.\n\nPage 701\n\nLeign\n\nacer\n\nASF7\n\nSeuss\n\nمیسو\n\nSubsequent Paper.\n\n37305\n\n(Minutes.)\n\n? add to REF ASS.\n\nH.K. on 35589.

J. J. MacDonald M.D., a member of the Wesleyan Missionary Society who has resided at Wuchow for many years. The steamer touched at Yun Ki, Mahning, Kumchuk and Kaukong taking 9, 2, 31 and 37 passengers at these places respectively. Dinner was served in the saloon at 6 p.m., the Captain, F.W. Joslin, the Chief Engineer, J.W. Seggie, and Dr. MacDonald being present. At about 6.45 these three were talking together on the dack outside the saloon door on the port side when they saw one of the Indian watchmen running forward towards them pursued by a Chinese with a revolver. Captain Joslin hurried aft to the watchman's help and knocked down his assailant who however sprang up and fired at him at close quarters. The bullet struck him full in the middle of the body. A number of men armed with revolvers came running up the ladder. The three Europeans accompanied by the watchmen turned back and made for the ladder leading to the wheelhouse where the arms were kept, but were headed off by a second band of pirates who had come up on the starboard side. They took refuge in the saloon, but the pirates began to pour their fire through the windows to avoid which the four men got under the table a solid teakwood one. A \"stinkpot\" was however thrown in, burning the Engineer considerably and rendering the position untenable. Dr. MacDonald, Captain Joslin and the Indian watchman went out by the starboard door and Mr. Seggie, the Engineer, by the port door. The latter ran the gauntlet of a number of pirates who were firing wildly and got down into the stokehold where he remained safely concealed behind\n\nPage 720\n\nPage 721", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407471, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "page_number": 767, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "HONG KONG STRAITS \n\n39435 \n\n(Subject.) \n\nChuis Trade \n\n39435 \n\nREED \n\nDOMESTIC. \n\nPrg 26 001 06 \n\n757 \n\ndexx to Washington. \n\nopuim trade \n\n4 Oct \n\nPruit \n\nprevious Paper, \n\nof dext \n\n70 87305 \n\nsubsequent Paper. \n\n140915 \n\nin the \n\n39437. \n\nThey \n\n(Minutes.) \n\nham \n\nThis also. \n\nprinted Affairs of China series \n\nthat paper. \n\n'will go \n\npaper, & print ptr.

Headers, sub-headers, bold-type, and tables should be processed using Markdown syntax.\n\n2. **Reasonable adding of words and re-ordering**: Some words are missing or unclear due to OCR issues. For example, \"Chuis Trade\" could be \"China Trade\", and \"dexx to Washington\" might be \"despatch to Washington\". \"opuim trade\" is likely \"opium trade\", and \"Pruit\" could be \"Previous\". \"dext\" seems to be \"despatch\".\n\n3. **Correct spelling errors**: \n - \"Chuis\" should be \"China\".\n - \"dexx\" should be \"despatch\".\n - \"opuim\" should be \"opium\".\n - \"Pruit\" should be \"Previous\".\n - \"dext\" should be \"despatch\".\n - \"строизол\" and \"ALC\" are unclear and might be OCR errors or unrelated text.\n - \"Yoush.\" could be \"Young\".\n - \"hoto\" is unclear.\n - \"Ot\" at the end is likely incomplete or an error.\n\n4. **Fix spacing issues**: There are many extra spaces and missing spaces that need correction.\n\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences**: Sentences are broken across lines, and rejoining them is necessary.\n\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks**: The text is mostly a series of single lines. Proper paragraph breaks need to be restored.\n\n7. **Indicate missing words**: Where words are clearly missing, `...` should be inserted.\n\nGiven the constraints and the original text, a corrected version in HTML format as requested is challenging without clearer context or understanding of the specific historical document's formatting and content.

Satow, contemplated that the frontier should continue to the confines of Thibet; but it must be remembered that between the Sub-Prefecture of T'engyuel and Thibet intervene the two Prefectures of Tali and Lichiang. The country examined by Mr. Consul Litton, and shown on the map stamped by him and Shih Taotai, only extends alongside of Tengyueh territory; of this we have no doubt. Consequently, the section of frontier north of 25° 35′ north latitude should not extend further than the border of Tengyueh.\n\nMany objections are presented by the British Government's idea of merely taking the basins of certain rivers as the frontier. For example: the Salwen, whose northern course passes through the two Prefectures of Lá Chiang and Tali to Yung-ch'ang-fu; of which latter Prefecture the part conterminous with the Sub-Prefecture of T'eugyuch is the district of Pao Shan. Or again, the Irawadi, made up as it is north of Bhamo, in Burmah, of three streams--the Maikha in the middle, the Kengtiwan on the west, and the N'Maikha on the east-the latter of which flows on the border of T'engyueh; or again, the Lung Chiang, whose source is in Ming Kwang, in T'engyueh territory, while to the north of Ming Kwang are to be found the tribal Settlements of Tzuchu, Hpare, and Tien Tan.\n\nTo trust, therefore, merely to the flow of the rivers would be eminently unsatisfactory.\n\nAs regards the tribal Settlement of Teng Keng, this is under the jurisdiction of the Pao Shan district. On the west of Teng Keng is the adjoining tribal Settlement of Tzuchu, which is under the jurisdiction of Tengyueh, whilst the north-west part of Ming Kwang also adjoins Tzuchu, and further to the west comes the Hpare Settlement.\n\nSir E. Satow's note proposes that the native Chiefs of Teng Keng and Ming Kwang be paid compensation in lieu of the presents which they have been in the habit of receiving from villages on the western side of the proposed boundary, so that this long-pending question may be settled. But as regards Teng Keng and Ming Kwang there is no long-pending question. The long-pending question only arises in respect to the country on the west of the boundary of these two territories, where Tzuchu and Hpare lie, these being indisputably controlled by Chinese tribal authorities. This being the case, the boundary line must be defined clearly if this matter is to be equitably settled.\n\nAccording to the Viceroy's Report, the upper waters of the Irawadi, under the name of the N'Maikha, flow along the borders of Tengyueh territory. This just fulfils the conditions so constantly attributed by Sir E. Satow to the water-parting east of the N'Maikha, which he described as the natural and best frontier line, and on that account as the one which should be chosen.\n\nI therefore have the honour to request you to ask His Britannic Majesty's Government, on my behalf, to refer to the provision made in Article IV of the Burmah Convention stipulating for a further careful examination of the features and conditions of the country north of 25° 35' north latitude, and to agree to carry out an impartial negotiation of this matter, as requested in my former note, and on the basis of the Viceroy's Report, so that an early settlement of this question may be reached.\n\nOffice or Individual.\n\nForeign\n\n1906\n\ndor\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nFo\n\n41844\n\n(B & I, 978) - J192—221»\n\nNext subsequent Paper.\n\n70 43505\n\nHONG KONG\n\nNoa 42969\n\n(Subject.)\n\nAffairs of China\n\nFruits of further\n\nPur Fing\n\nJus tothin\n\nJojo Are\n\nSec. hav.\n\n5.00\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nI have kept back\n\n173\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\nC O\n\n42969\n\nPy 22 NOV\n\nher care\n\nwi hai whi\n\nC\n\ncopy to G.\n\ncirculated with toile papers.\n\nsex abo Oct. 2. 3.

Unfortunately, the effect of every step taken to strengthen our position will be to irritate Chinese officials, and I, for one, should be very sorry to stay on here relying on outside support and foreign bayonets; and it is only acceptability with the Chinese that will prolong the life of the Service or make position and work possible and palatable for the men now in it.\n\nAlthough I see I have written at considerable length, I have, after all, written very generally; to discuss the matter fully would fill a quire, with, as a result, more points raised, more differences of opinion, and the same difficulty-qua faire?-in the end. I do not believe in such a concert of the Great Powers as would procure withdrawal of the Edict, and, even if it were withdrawn, the position of the Inspectorate vis-à-vis the Chinese Government would be antagonistic and distasteful. I therefore think it will be wisest to be content with the line of action which commends itself to the Foreign Office, for that Department knows best what can and what cannot be effected, and has its responsible advisers on the spot here.\n\nMy health is not what it once was, and if it were not that my presence gives things time to rearrange themselves without disaster, I should not be remaining. By the time the Ch'n is a year old the various parties will have grown accustomed to each other, and the procedure followed during the year will be hardening into precedent, if not second nature. I have kept things together for a pretty long spell, but I really cannot hold on for ever.\n\nGeneral Waters is away at the manoeuvres I hear, and has not yet visited Peking so far as I know.\n\nOur latest visitor has been the Japanese Prince Fushimi, and the rest of this new century will be pretty full of the doings of his gallant countrymen in the East generally, and perhaps in China in particular.

They passed as man and wife under the name of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Jones and stayed at the Hongkong Hotel.

The recent murder of a foreign policeman by a gang of armed Chinese robbers on the outskirts of the Settlement affords an apposite illustration; and the Association will note with satisfaction that His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General has protested to the Taotai against the maladministration which allows these desperadoes to remain at large in the vicinity. It is obvious that simple imprisonment must often be an inadequate punishment for ruffians of this stamp; while the alternative of sending them into the city, where more primitive methods prevail, is invalidated by the consideration that they usually succeed in bribing their way out. A way of meeting the difficulty would appear to be to omit the note and all other allusion to bamboo and cangue (so as to leave the Court a free hand) in Rule 1.\n\nThe considerations which have been noted suffice to indicate that what is wanted in China is reform not only of the laws but of the prisons, the Courts, and the whole machinery and administration of justice. The absence, during foreign experience, of any advance whatever towards these results is not reassuring as to the prospect of an early solution, and explains the anxiety of the Shanghae Committee that the efficiency of the Mixed Court shall be strenuously upheld.\n\nChina Association, 159, Cannon Street,\nLondon, March 25, 1907.\n\n(Signed) R.

Sir,\n\nON receipt of your despatch No. 414 of the 24th November, 1906, I addressed a despatch to Mr. Werner, His Majesty's Consul at Kiukiang, asking him to furnish me with full information of the arrangements made in the interests of the child Vera Kingham, and of the reasons which led him to ignore Mr. Percy Kingham's claim to act as guardian.\n\nI have now the honour to transmit to you a copy of Mr. Werner's reply, in which he explains the circumstances of the case. The perusal of the correspondence therein inclosed left no doubt in my mind that Mr. Werner acted rightly in preferring Messrs. Pownall and Hopkins as guardians, and I have so informed him, adding, nevertheless, that he should be very careful in seeing that the legal requirements are strictly complied with, and that he should act in consultation with the Crown Advocate on this point.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN,\n\n#### Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Werner to Sir J. Jordan.\n\n**(No. 2.)** Sir,\n\nKiukiang, January 28, 1907. WITH reference to your despatch No. 2 of the 14th instant, stating that Sir Edward Grey desires to be furnished with full information of the arrangements made in the interests of the child Vera Kingham, whose parents were murdered last year at Nan Ch'ang, and the reasons which have led me to ignore Mr. Percy Kingham's claim, I have the honour to inclose a copy of a Petition, prepared by the Rev. H. E. Pownall and Rev. F. J. Hopkins at the time when Mr. Percy Kingham began to make inquiries respecting the custody of the child, and to state that he was the legal guardian. In this Petition Messrs. Pownall and Hopkins set forth at length the social, moral, financial, and religious reasons for believing that Mr. Percy Kingham would not be a suitable guardian for the child. In a letter to me, written at Nan Chang on the 15th instant, Mr. Pownall says:---\n\n\"Please find inclosed a recent letter received by Mrs. Hopkins from her sister,\" (This letter I have returned to Mr. Pownall.) \"The part underlined with red has reference to the brother, Mr. Percy Kingham, and his wife. As we have it in Mr. Percy Kingham's own handwriting that he gives up any claim to the child—this I mentioned to you some months ago—in deference to the wishes of his relatives, we do not quite understand why Mr. Percy Kingham's wife Alice should write saying that 'Percy's solicitors have received instructions about Vera's money,' and also in inclosed letter that it had to pass through Percy's solicitors' hands.'\"\n\nI would add that, in all the letters of Mr. Percy Kingham which I have seen, the idea which seems to be uppermost in his mind is money, whereas the Messrs. Pownall and Hopkins have informed me that they would prefer to be guardians rather than trustees, and have suggested for the latter office the names of Dr. A. G. Parrott, M.R.C.S., &c., Shanghae; Rev. G. S. Pownall, M.A., Uckfield, England; and W. A. Wheeler, Esq., West Kensington, London, uncle to the late Mr. H. C.

I referred his Highness' note to Mr. Brown, and on receipt of the latter's reply I addressed a rejoinder to Prince Ch'ing, in which I affirmed the accuracy of the Syndicate's statement, invited reference to M. Pokotilow, the present Russian Minister, and one of the signatories of the Cheng-t'ai Agreement, for whatever confirmation might be judged necessary, answered some of the comments which appeared to me to require notice, and maintained the claim for compensation.\n\nThe placard forwarded in Mr. Brown's letter of the 9th March was communicated to the Wai-wu Pu on the 14th March. I have not heard any further particulars of the mass meeting called for in this document.\n\nIt has been one of Mr. Tong Shao-yi's complaints that the failure of the Peking Syndicate to mine workable coal in Honan was likely to prevent the Tao Ching line from becoming a paying concern, and the inclosure in Mr. Brown's letter of the 19th March is useful as showing that this complaint may not long have any basis in fact.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) \nJ.

Jordan.\n\nKuang Hsü, 33rd year, 1st month, 20th day (March 4, 1907).\n\nSir,\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 18th January (quoted at length) on the subject of the Peking Syndicate's Shansi Concession, and have to observe that the Agreement in respect to this Concession was signed on the 21st May, 1898, by the Shansi Provincial Bureau of Commerce and Mr. Luzzati of the Peking Syndicate. It was an entirely separate matter from the Agreement with the Russo-Chinese Bank respecting the Chengt'ai Railway, and the one did not affect the other.\n\nYour Excellency states in your note now under acknowledgment that before the Shansi Agreement was signed the Syndicate entered into the separate Agreement with the Russo-Chinese Bank, whereby they waived their claim to construct a branch line in favour of the Chengtai Railway. But as it is admitted that this was done before the Shansi Agreement was signed, how could the Syndicate have any claim to construct the branch line? And having no such claim, how could they waive it in favour of another Syndicate? The mines are Shansi mines, the railway is a Shansi line, and in the absence of China's concurrence and its expression in the Agreement with the Peking Syndicate, it cannot be expected that China will recognize a separate Agreement which the two Syndicates may have made between themselves.\n\nA careful examination of this Board's records has disclosed nothing to show that this separate Agreement was made in consultation with the late Li Hung Chang.

Pichon à accéder, dans une large mesure, à la requête qui lui était présentée.\n\nDésireux de reconnaître l'appui loyal qui a été prêté par le Gouvernement Britannique aux affaires Anglo-Françaises de Chine et tout récemment encore dans celle d'un emprunt sollicité par le Vice-Roi des deux Hou, M. le Ministre des Affaires Étrangères a télégraphié à M. Bapst pour l'autoriser à appuyer la protestation que le Ministre d'Angleterre pourrait formuler en vue d'obtenir le déplacement des fonctionnaires Chinois hostiles à l'exécution du contrat du \"Peking Syndicate,\" si, bien entendu, Sir John Jordan demandait le concours de son collègue de France. Ces instructions sont motivées par l'existence de capitaux Français dans la Société Anglaise, par le désir de reconnaître la loyauté de l'attitude du Gouvernement et des groupes financiers Britanniques et par la considération de l'utilité qu'il peut y avoir à concerter l'action des deux Gouvernements et, à généraliser, leur entente en présence de l'obstruction Chinoise.\n\nAmbassade de France, Londres, \nle 14 août, 1907.\n\n[2621-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412495, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 255, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# Inclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nM.

I regret the delay in reporting, which has been due to my time being fully occupied with the routine work of the Department.\n\nThe plan shows, in red, the long breakwater originally proposed, and in green, a short breakwater now suggested, but not recommended. The section shows a design which has been prepared after full consideration of the effects of the 1906 typhoon.\n\nThe bulk of the work could be carried out by native contractors. The concrete blockwork is the only part of the structure which would have to be carried out departmentally, and very little special plant would be required for it. A dredger would have to be hired from the Dock Company or Messrs. Punchard, Lowther & Co., for the purpose of excavating the trench for the foundations.\n\nThe blockwork is expensive but necessary, because three tons is the maximum weight of the boulders to be got by junks, and such blocks are too small to withstand the action of the sea at or near low tide level. The concrete blocks would extend down to 7 feet below Ordnance Datum, at which depth the three-ton boulders would not be liable to disturbance by the waves.\n\nI estimate the cost of this design at $370.00 per lineal foot, and the total cost of the long breakwater as follows:\n\n| Item | Cost |\n| --- | --- |\n| 4,000 lineal feet at $370 | $1,480,000 |\n| Extra labour and materials at heads | $60,000 |\n| **Total** | **$1,540,000** |\n\nThe actual cross section of the long breakwater at any point would not differ materially from the average cross section shown; and judging by the borings taken in connection with the proposed work, and by the soundings on the Admiralty Charts, the average cross section of the short breakwater, or of any other breakwater in ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-346 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 413614, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6]", "page_number": 116, "title": "CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6]", "content_text": "## Confidential?\n\n### Enclosure 1\n\n113\n\nSir,\n\nCaxton Hall, \nVictoria Street, Westminster, \n1st September, 1905\n\n17052 \nArc? 13 MAY 08\n\nIn reference to the furtherance of co-operation in education between the different Countries of the Empire, I have the honour to present to you a letter from Professor Bury, Regius Professor of History at Cambridge; I may add that financial facilities have been proposed to the League for his project.\n\nApplication has been made to us from time to time from the different Colonies for text books on the other Countries of the Empire.

I then said to him \"But did not the Colonial Secretary tell you that the reason why Mr. Ho Tung had arranged to take my house for himself and Mrs. Ho Tung alone, was that he had been recommended by the doctor to get some change of air, as he was suffering from some illness (I forget what); and that as his own house faced south and lay in a hollow, Mr. Ho Tung thought that the Eyrie, which was some 400 feet higher up and much healthier, would be beneficial?\" Dr. Ho Kai told me that so far as he could remember the fact had not been mentioned by the Colonial Secretary; I then said, but this was mentioned in my application to the Executive Council for exemption: I then asked him this question: If these facts had been mentioned by the Colonial Secretary would you still have considered the refusal to grant the exemption reasonable? Dr. Ho Kai's answer was no, I think that in these circumstances and, owing no other valid reasons then existing against it, it was unreasonable not to grant it.\n\nI desire to say as little as possible with reference to the action of the Colonial Secretary in the matter. I shall therefore content myself with saying that I am astonished at it, and that it is conduct which, in the case of parties being at arm's length, no Court would approve. But this was a case in which from the circumstances the utmost good faith should have been observed. What has been done?

One was issued, however, by the Chinese Taotai at Kashgar, and was renewed at Lan-chou without any difficulty.\n\nMr. Clementi says there are few, if any, real Russian merchants in the parts of Turkestan he travelled through; the trade is in the hands of Andijanis (who are Russian subjects), natives of India, Chinese, and Afghans. He found a trading mission of the latter settled as far east as Su-chou and Lan-chou. The heads of this mission received Mr. Clementi most cordially, and treated him with great hospitality. The Belgians have a flourishing Roman Catholic Mission in Kansu, Liang-chou being the seat of a Bishop.\n\nA M. Splingaert, said to be the son of a former Commissioner of the Imperial Maritime Customs at Su-chou, is settled at Lan-chou as representative of a Belgian Syndicate, who appear to be on very good terms with the provincial Government. They have imported machinery for a cotton-weaving mill, which is now in course of erection; they have a contract to erect a steel girder bridge over the Yellow River at Lan-chou, and they have a concession to place light-draught steamers on the Yellow River between Lan-chou, Ninghsia, and Bantu (Pai Ta Kou). Bautu is on the main road to Kalgan, and the promoters of the scheme hope, when their steamers are running, and the Peking-Kalgan Railway is open, to bring Lan-chou within fourteen days of Peking.\n\nMr. Clementi saw no signs of political unrest in the course of his journey through Kansu. At Lan-chou he was told by the officials that the Dalai Lama, now resident at Sining, would shortly proceed to Wu Tai Shan in Shansi. They did not think he would ever return to Lhassa.\n\nMr. Clementi left Ch'engtu for Hankow by boat on the 23rd January; from Hankow he proposes to proceed to Hong Kong, travelling overland by the Yueh Han Railway route.\n\nI have, &c.

Messrs. Butterfield and Swire obtained the entire charter of this vessel, through their agents at Kobe, for the conveyance of about 2,000 tons of coal from Moji to Hong Kong, for which latter port the vessel presumably cleared, and under the charter she had no right to deviate except to save life or property.\n\n3. The \"Tatsu Maru\" sailed from Moji with the coal on board on the 30th January, but instead of proceeding to Hong Kong in accordance with her charter, avoided that port and went on towards Macao, anchoring on the 5th February some 6 or 7 miles from the light-house, and about 2 miles outside what is called the \"Courtesy Boundary.\" This boundary is the outcome of an agreement between the Macao authorities and the Chinese Customs. Outside and to the west of this boundary the Chinese Customs vessels cruise and search any vessels coming from Macao, and detain them if they have opium on board without a permit given by the Chinese Customs stations on the Island of Lappa, south of Macao. Inside and to the eastward of the boundary the Chinese Customs can take no action. The plan inclosed shows the boundary line and the positions the \"Tatsu Maru\" anchored in.\n\n4. Soon after anchoring, the \"Tatsu Maru\" was boarded by the captain of a Chinese cruiser, who asked the master what he had anchored there for; the latter replied: \"In order to discharge arms and ammunition.\" Seeing a lighter being towed out from Macao by a steam-launch in which were armed soldiers, the captain of the cruiser decided that, as the \"Tatsu Maru\" was in Chinese waters and about to discharge arms and ammunition without a Chinese permit, it was his duty to detain her. Accordingly he took possession, and being apprehensive that the Portuguese soldiers in the launch might attempt to board the \"Tatsu Maru,\" he further decided to haul down the Japanese colours and hoist the Chinese, as an intimation that she was in Chinese custody. The vessel was then taken up the Canton River and anchored a few miles below the city.\n\n5. Soon after her arrival in Chinese custody the Japanese Consul called on the Viceroy and demanded her immediate release, but the Viceroy informed him that he could not release her without investigation, and asked the Consul to assist him at a joint inquiry into the case. This the Consul refused, and he referred the matter to Tokio.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416908, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 235, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "PRIVACY *C:13, node to fortify end\n\nare\n\n$\n\ndus: Squint 10 930 al\n\n3.

WITH reference to my despatch No. 274 of the 22nd ultimo, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a further despatch, with inclosures, from His Majesty's Consul-General at Mukden, respecting the alleged infringement by a Japanese firm at Tiehling of a trade-mark belonging to Messrs. Butterfield and Swire.\n\nIt would seem to be established that the bags bearing this mark originally contained the genuine article, and that the substitution of a sugar of inferior quality was made by the Japanese firm at Tiehling, and not by the Yu Asa Shokai at Dairen. There has, therefore, technically been no infringement of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's trade-mark, but merely a fraudulent use of their bags by the firm who received them. Whether the Japanese Criminal Code provides for the repression of such an offence appears, in the present instance, to be a question of academic interest, in view of the fact that the offending firm is no longer in existence at Tiehling. The Japanese authorities have, I submit, done all that was possible to assist Mr. Willis, and the case would seem to have been satisfactorily elucidated.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N.

Butterfield to me, dated the 22nd instant, confirms this information, and it seems probable that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire were mistaken in alleging, as they did in their letter of the 13th May, that their marks had been imitated.\n\nI have informed Messrs. Butterfield and Swire that, in my opinion, the Japanese Consular officials have done all in their power, under present conditions and pending the conclusion of a Trade-mark Convention between the British and Japanese Governments, to assist us in inquiring into the facts of this case. Further, even if a prosecution for fraud lay against the Pi Tien firm under the Japanese Criminal Code, which is very doubtful, it would seem useless for them to undertake such prosecution at the present time, as the culprit firm has disappeared from Tiehling.\n\nI inclose copy of a letter I have addressed to Mr. Yoshida.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) ROBERT WILLIS.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Yoshida to Acting Consul-General Willis,\n\nSir and dear Colleague,\n\nConsulate-General of Japan, Mukden,\n\nJune 19, 1908.\n\nIN reference to my communication dated the 5th instant regarding the fraudulent imitation of trade-marks by a Japanese firm in Tiehling, I have the honour to inform...\n\n[1844 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417132, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 458, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.: 455\n\nyou that I have received a report from our authorities at Tairen, in which they ascertained that Yu Asa Shokai, of Tairen, sold 115 bags of the bona fide British sugar to Pi Tien Yang-hong, and that the Hong Kong sugar imported to Japan is, contrary to the argument of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, mostly of 100 kin or 120 catties, instead of 148 catties. I am further reported from the same authorities that Yu Asa Shokai, being a respectable firm in Japan, have been entered in a close business transaction for many years with Messrs. Holme, Ringer, and Co., agents of the Hong Kong Sugar Refinery at Shimonoseki.\n\nUnder the circumstances, I came to the conclusion that the fraudulent imitation of trade-mark would have been done by Pi Tien Yang-hong at Tiehling, and not by Yu Asa Shokai at Tairen.\n\nHoping that you will consider the measures taken in regard to this matter satisfactory, I have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nS.

As I understand that this firm has now been declared bankrupt and has disappeared, it is clear that no further steps can be taken in the case.\n\nI would take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to you for the valuable assistance you have given us in inquiring into the true facts of this case, more especially as I quite realize the difficulties of your position, pending the conclusion of a Trade-mark Convention between our respective Governments for the mutual protection of trade-marks in China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) ROBERT WILLIS.\n\nCHINA TRADE.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[27994]\n\n(No. 335.) Sir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[August 12.]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received August 12.)\n\nPeking, July 21, 1908. WITH reference to my despatch No. 211 of the 12th May regarding the question of li-kin in the Treaty ports, I have the honour to inclose a copy of the joint note of the Netherland and American Ministers and myself, writing on behalf of the Diplomatic Body, which was addressed to Prince Ching on the 8th instant.\n\nIn this communication we have pointed out that the effect of the Chinese Government's contention is to transform the 5 per cent. ad valorem basis of the tariff into one of 7 per cent., and we have urged that, as this question has caused years of friction with the Treaty Powers, the Chinese Government should devise means of taxation less irksome to trade and in conformity with the Treaties.\n\nWe have also maintained that, no matter how a place has been open to foreign trade, uniformity of practice must be observed.\n\nYour Highness,\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\nJoint Note to Prince Ching.\n\nJuly 8, 1908. THE Undersigned, having been authorized by the Diplomatic Body to discuss and settle with your Highness the question concerning the levy of li-kin within Treaty port limits, have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Highness' note of the 10th April last, which has been carefully considered by them.\n\nIn this note your Highness observes that the limits of Treaty ports in distinction to the interior have never been defined by Treaty, and that the Chinese Government have never accepted the definition formulated by the foreign Representatives. Your Highness contends, therefore, that li-kin is leviable on all foreign imports unless they have paid transit dues, and similarly on all native produce for export unless it is covered by a transit pass.\n\nAccording to this contention China would be entitled to collect transit dues on all merchandise. But the Treaty stipulates clearly that the payment of transit dues is only leviable, in the case of imports, on notice being given at the port of entry from which such imports are to be forwarded inland, of the nature and quality of the goods, the ship from which they have been landed, and the place inland to which they are bound; and in the case of exports, on produce purchased in the interior, which has to be inspected at the first barrier it passes on its way to the port of shipment, and on arriving at the barrier nearest the port notice must be given to the Customs, and the goods are passed on payment of the transit dues.\n\nSuch is the procedure laid down in Rule 7 appended to the British Treaty of Tien-tsin;\n\nthe essential points being, in the case of imports that they are to be conveyed away from the Treaty port into the interior, and in the case of exports that they are purchased in the interior for conveyance to a Treaty port.\n\nFrom this it is abundantly clear that foreign imports, in respect to which no notice has yet been given to the Customs that they are to be forwarded inland, are exempt from transit dues while remaining in the Treaty port; and that exports, not purchased in the interior but in the Treaty port itself, are similarly exempt from transit dues.\n\nIt then becomes a question, as indicated in your Highness' note, where the Treaty port ends and where the interior begins. Your Highness states that no definition of limits has ever been made to which both China and the Treaty Powers have agreed.

I to V in your letter, and in the event of such Regulations not being worked to, whether the Company has any good reasons to adduce against an Ordinance being brought into force to oblige the Company to operate under such Regulations.\n\nIn reply, I beg to submit the following remarks with reference to the Regulations specified in your communication.\n\nAt the present time, the Company's system of distribution of Electric Energy may be divided under five headings:-\n\n(1.) Underground High Pressure Feeders (alternating current, 2,200 volts) with Low Pressure Three-wire Distributors (200 volts between the outers.)\n\n(2.) Underground High Pressure Feeders (alternating current, 2,200 volts) with Transformers on Consumer's Premises.\n\n(3.) Overhead High Pressure Lines (alternating current, 2,200 volts) with Transformers, either on Consumer's Premises or (mostly) on poles, supplying Consumers through Overhead Low Pressure Conductors.\n\n(4.) Underground Direct Current Distributors at 220 volts for service of power to Electric Lifts.\n\n(5.) Overhead High Pressure Lines (Direct current, 2,000 volts) for service of Arc Lamps in the Public Streets.\n\nSYSTEM No. 1.\n\nThe System of Underground Distribution, coming...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419497, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "40\n\n...noting elke maleriet asid...0 baworyrajni asti\n\n.S.OK AMLOVE\n\n-owd it to vijgon dud ɔitém ocot mere to smoa eta ristav? sɗd to\n\nSIDATOTENATt yď bedadrut el qiyom «^masst¶ wol ent\n\nbra I .aoit anoitafmall .89almer a'torismo mo boosiq VIIstenst\n\naby mon Ra anteqenX® dtlw baklgerna vilahtnededue ore III\n\n...\n\nSYSTEM No. 4.\n\nThis system of distribution complies in general with the Board of Trade Regulations bearing on it.\n\nSYSTEM No. 5.\n\nThe Series Direct Current Street Lighting Arc Lamp System comes under this heading and the supply is furnished entirely by means of overhead wires. The Conductors are stranded 7 No. 16 S.W.G. Copper Wires insulated with pure and vulcanized India Rubber and braided. They are supported by steel bearer strands in a similar manner to the High Pressure Conductors described under System No. 3, above, and in general the remarks therein made with reference to the High Pressure Overhead Conductors apply to these Arc Lighting Conductors.\n\nIn conclusion, I would beg to submit that the Board of Trade Regulations, No. V (Model description of Overhead Line Construction) would be prohibitive and unworkable if enforced as regards any existing Overhead Lines in this Colony. I would submit that these Regulations have been drawn up with a view to totally dissimilar conditions to those existing here and are unworkable for the control of Overhead Lines for the service of small and scattered consumers and for the service of Street Arc Lighting. I believe I am correct in stating that these Regulations have specially in view the establishment of long distance Electric Transmission Lines with bare conductors working at Extra High Pressure. They are meant to control what may be termed \"Trunk\" operations across country and seemingly do not contemplate the use of overhead distribution to small consumers or Street Arc Lighting.\n\nSections Nos. 7 and 11 for prevention of access to the Lines of any person by climbing, can hardly be enforced here as the Arc Lamps have to be visited daily for the purpose of trimming and these Arc Lamps are carried on the same poles", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419503, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 49, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "Hongkong Electric Company.\n\nThe Generating Station is situated at Wanchai, where high-speed forced lubrication compound engines developing 1,200 horse power have been installed.\n\nTwo new 300 horse power Diesel Oil Engines have also been laid down.

Sir F. Lugard is aware that we do not allow this traffic to foreign countries at all.\n\nI think it would be an act of kindness on the part of the S.S.C. to inform him of the way and means after saying that no Chinese, whether indentured or free, can be authorised or facilitated from Hong Kong.\n\nI am not benefited by feeling surprised that Sir F. Lugard proceeded so far in the matter.\n\nI don't think it is necessary for Lugard.\n\nA foreign country can only be expected to grant the permission of the C. in C. to converse with a foreigner. The first interview took place on 3 July. He reported the whole matter on 14 July.\n\nMost serious matters might be taken to make formal complaints.

It was just in 1898 & it was purposed to open it at the beginning of 1901. Haughing went to considerable expense in getting teachers from England to instruct the inmates in industries. Then they found that no need for a Reformatory waited.\n\nWhen it came their way, the government decided that it ought to find some use for the building. They proposed therefore that it should be converted into a school for European children. – an unfortunate proposal seeing that partly Armenian & partly Hebrew, Mr Belilios grandly said that he placed the building entirely at the disposal of the government though he would rather it was used for a mixed school of a charitable character.\n\nProceedings throughout were on the principle of acting first + thinking afterwards, decided not to use it as a School at all. For some time it was left empty.\n\nSince Jan 1908, it has been proposed to use it as a Refuge. It is perhaps more in keeping with the original purpose than any of the former suggestions.\n\nIt is unfortunate that it passed into the control of an Anglican body, as the donor was of a different faith, but his son approves.\n\nIn his letter, 41550/02, it is clear that Belilios would have agreed: he placed the building unconditionally at the absolute disposal of the government.\n\n?

Shippers are warned by the Chambers against the use of British steamers. Evidence of the absence of any genuine resentment on the part of the merchants is afforded by surreptitious consignments of cargo in assumed names, as also by the fact that Messrs. Butterfield's steamers plying on the Poyang Lake are not included in the boycott as there are no other available means of transport there. Mears has already been discharged after a preliminary examination before the Kiukiang Consular Court, and the suggestion that he should be retried by the Shanghai Supreme Court is deprecated here on the grounds that such a course would appear to be a concession to unjustifiable clamour as in the Fatshan incident.\n\nIt is instructive to compare the attitude of the Japanese towards a similar movement directed by the student classes as a protest against the action of the Japanese Government in regard to the Antung-Mukden Railway. The Shanghai Taotai under Japanese pressure issues to-day a proclamation threatening punishment of the ringleaders and participants in the anti-Japanese boycott.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419886, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 432, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "# Av Stutt \n\nسلام سید \n\nSie I Hopwood \n\nJ \n\nари \n\nwith the Risky's purposes. amendments.

Land Sales amounted to $69,358 or $86,624 less than in 1907. The total revenue from all sources was therefore $6,104,207 or $498,073 less than in the previous year, and $123,683 less than the Estimate.\n\nLight Dues, Fees of Court, Post Office Receipts, and Miscellaneous Receipts brought in together $150,378 more than was estimated. The receipts under the remaining heads of revenue were altogether $274,061 less than were anticipated when the estimates were drawn up, of which the deficit on Land Sales accounted for $230,642.\n\nThe Expenditure for the year was $5,586,138 exclusive of Public Works Extraordinary; inclusive of that item, but exclusive of expenditure on Railway Construction (Loan Account) it was $6,573,341 or $516,138 more than the total expenditure for 1907.\n\nThe principal cause of this increase of expenditure in spite of a falling revenue, was the loss due to the fall in exchange value of the dollar. The Estimates of 1907 had been calculated on a basis of 2/- for Sterling Salaries, and 2/1 for other items, while the Estimates for 1908 were calculated at 1/9 only. The expenditure of the year exceeded the Estimate by $394,810, due (inter alia) to a still further fall in exchange, to heavy damages caused by typhoons, and to the purchase of a dredger for the construction of a Refuge for small craft.\n\nThe decrease of $123,683 in the Revenue, and the excess of $394,810 in Expenditure make a total shortage of $518,493 to meet which there was an expected surplus of $49,359 only, leaving a deficit on the year's working, to be charged to reserves, of $469,134.\n\nThe following Table shows the total revenue and expenditure for the five years 1904-1908 :-\n\n \n \n 1904\n 1905\n 1906\n 1907\n 1908\n \n \n Revenue\n $6,809,047\n $6,918,403\n $7,035,011\n $6,602,280\n $6,104,207\n \n \n Expenditure\n $6,376,235\n $6,951,275\n $6,832,610\n $5,737,203\n $6,573,341\n \n \n Surplus\n $432,812\n $202,401\n $845,076\n \n \n \n \n Deficit\n \n \n \n $32,871\n $469,134\n \n\nThe Right Honourable\n\nTHE EARL OF CREWE,\n\nHis Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419931, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 477, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "To actor is (Not that be abo JR 11/10 Is for any Junilar AN ma 30.254.

There is no case for applying to the Privy Council to allow an officer to be removed with a view to his reinstatement.\n\nBY13/11\n\nI don't suppose Sir F. Piggott will really attempt to prevent Mr. Melbourne from performing his duties.\n\nI would simply ask the Governor to inform the Chief Justice that he has received copies of his letters and notes that there is a difference of opinion as to Mr. Melbourne's competence for the post to which he has been appointed.

Moreover, Mr Davies' recollection of the intention (see para of his private letter herewith) is perfectly correct. He felt that the off orders based on the despatch did not coincide with his recollection of what was suggested at his interviews with the Governor.\n\nThe intention of 12795 was, short, to relect Sec 4 of orders of 1890 thereby restoring Sec 4 of the Principal order of 1890 to its former condition. Under the section, so restored, whipping is allowed in addition to any other punishment for certain grain offences specified. To this section, so restored, was to be added a subsection allowing whipping (but not in addition to other punishment) on the commission of offences other than those specified in use of which would become subsec (1) of the new sec 86.\n\nI have amended the off order in red ink to show how the above intention should be carried out.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 420238, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11]", "page_number": 128, "title": "CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11]", "content_text": "Sawant but a Solicitor who is paid an inclusive fee form of fraud.\n\nAt best it said hi luk Ay Daig an work in certain free matter of fact they have paid quite large Sums the stipulated payment?

It is under the existing system of Military Contribution less costly for the Government to farm out, or contract for the carrying out of, such undertakings since in that case only the net sum paid by the contractor is credited to Revenue, whereas were Government to undertake the work the gross earnings, including the cost of machinery etc., would appear under Revenue and be assessable to Military Contribution. It seems unnecessary to point out that this is a vicious principle, for in many cases direct Government control may be preferable, and in every case the contractor's profits are lost to the Revenue. \n\nImperial as well \n\n(b) The existing system cramps expansion \n\nas Colonial. If the Colonial Government undertakes the organisation and control of an institution only indirectly connected with the Colony, it is at a loss unless the institution provides a sufficient balance to cover Military Contribution, and sums paid by those directly interested, towards the cost of maintenance become liable to this deduction. \n\nIn \n\nThus Hongkong undertakes the upkeep of the Gap Rock Lighthouse, 30 miles from Colonial waters and in Chinese territory. For this service China pays a sum, and upon this sum the Government has to pay 20% to the Defence Fund. In order to be free of expense in the matter, the Colonial Government would have to increase the payment by China by 20%, but this is clearly inadmissible because the accounts would show no such deficit, and China would in fact be called upon to contribute to the Imperial Forces. \n\nOr again, \n\nHongkong (largely in Imperial interests), maintains postal Agencies at the Treaty Ports of China. Towards this service the Imperial Government pays £710 ... a year, on which the Government has to pay 20% to Military Contribution. \n\nThe Agencies would be worked at a small profit, but the 20% payable on the gross receipts derived from them converts...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 420327, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11]", "page_number": 217, "title": "CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11]", "content_text": "CONFIDENTIAL\n\nMinute by Governor on military contribution.\n\nHongkong.\n\n\"The estimate given in the Governor's speech is $53,760.

Le Gouvernement portugais n'a pas le moins de doute à retirer les noms indiqués pour la Commission de Délimitation et envoyer un officier du plus haut grade militaire du royaume ou un diplomate, si le Gouvernement chinois accède à la proposition que le Gouvernement portugais a faite, depuis le commencement, sur la retraite des postes militaires, contre lesquels nous avons toujours réclamé. Depuis le moment où, de commun accord, la nomination des Délégués sera faite, la retraite des postes militaires est plus que justifiée. Il faudra que les parties transigent et qu'une cède. Il me paraît être la solution plus honorable pour les deux nations, ou une autre que le Gouvernement britannique puisse suggérer.

I pointed out to him that the Japanese were as vitally interested as we were in the protest addressed to the Chinese Government, because if the Germans were allowed to secure the loan it would involve, equally with our own, the forfeiture of Japanese rights under the Convention of 1905 to supply half the engineers on the line. Mr. Kato concurred in this view, but doubted if this prospective loss would justify a Japanese protest now. I agreed as to that, but pointed out to Mr. Kato that, to judge from the present state of the negotiations, in a few days his protest might be too late. I suggested that, in any case, a question might be made as effective as a protest, and that no exception could be taken to the Japanese Minister informing the Wai-wu Pu that he was advised that the Germans were negotiating a loan for the Hankow-Canton Railway, and that he desired to know if, in the event of their being successful, the Japanese could count upon the preference secured to them by the Convention of 1905 being made effective.\n\nMr. Kato appeared to think well of the suggestion, and undertook to telegraph on the subject to the Japanese Minister at Peking this morning.\n\nYours truly, \n(Signed) **C.

Ses habitants trouvaient dans l'organisation administrative et judiciaire de la colonie portugaise les garanties d'ordre et de sécurité indispensables à la vie sociale, et dans ses forteresses et ses soldats la protection contre les ennemis extérieurs.\n\nLorsque ces villages se sont un peu agrandis et qu'ils n'étaient pas assez à la portée de la ville, le Gouvernement de Macau y a placé des délégués administratifs et des forces de police, et fait des travaux de fortification, de voirie et d'autres pour la défense et bien-être des habitants, et a maintenu tout cela jusqu'à présent.\n\nAinsi sont fondés les établissements de Macau.\n\n## L'occupation primordiale et la souveraineté du Portugal\n\nL'occupation primordiale, le commerce, l'institution d'autorités administratives, judiciaires, et militaires, le temps, l'évolution, ont accompli leur œuvre de consolidation, transformant graduellement à travers les siècles, l'état de fait en droit de souveraineté du Portugal sur la péninsule et les îles voisines, qui forment la colonie européenne de beaucoup la plus ancienne de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nAprès la marche logique des événements qui ont amené la souveraineté, par occupation, des Portugais à Macau et ses dépendances, il faut aussi se rendre compte si les territoires occupés ont, ou non, obéi aux limites que le droit des gens reconnaît comme licites et naturellement nécessaires.\n\n\"Quelle est,\" demande Rivier (\"Principes du Droit des Gens,” p. 195), \"la région géographique acquise, lorsqu'un Etat a pris possession de points déterminés ?\"\n\nLa réponse de ce publiciste, se rapportant à Twiss, Hall, Bluntschli, Holtzendorff, et d'autres jurisconsultes de la plus haute renommée, c'est que :\n\n## La région géographique acquise\n\nLorsque l'acquéreur veut prendre possession de l'immeuble dont tradition lui est faite, il n'est point nécessaire qu'il prenne possession de chaque partie de fonds; il lui suffit, dit le jurisconsulte, d'entrer dans une partie quelconque, pourvu que soit avec la conscience et l'intention de posséder l'immeuble dans son étendue entière, jusqu'aux limites. ... Le principe du droit civil suppose un immeuble délimité, déterminé exactement dans son unité et individualité, et qu'il ne saurait être applicable, en droit des gens, à l'occupation de territoires immenses, non encore entièrement explorés où cette condition d'unité et de délimitation matérielle fait totalement défaut.\n\n\"Le principe juste, c'est que, l'occupation devant être effective, on ne peut tenir pour acquises que les seules régions qui sont soumises réellement au pouvoir, tel qu'on vient de caractériser, de l'Etat occupant contrairement à ce principe, diverses Puissances ont émis et émettent encore, au gré de leur intérêt, des prétentions arbitraires.\n\nLa question sera toujours de savoir jusqu'où s'étend la domination réelle et matérielle. Cela dépendra de la configuration du pays, de sa topographie, de son hydrographie, de son orographie. Reste toujours, d'ailleurs, la nécessité des actes manifestant l'`animus Domini`, c'est-à-dire, ce que l'on a l'intention de dominer.\"\n\n## L'intention des Portugais\n\nLes Portugais qu'il y a trois siècles et demi ont occupé Macau n'avaient pas dans leur esprit l'ambition d'acquérir d'immenses extensions territoriales; l'intention, née de la force des circonstances, n'a été que de dominer le territoire terrestre et maritime dans l'unité minime, que le droit de sûreté et de conservation commandait, pour que l'occupation fût tenable, soit contre les pirates, soit contre d'autres ennemis.\n\nIls n'avaient, non plus, l'intention d'étendre leur occupation à l'hinterland, mais seulement à la région dont la péninsule était entourée et qu'avec elle formait l'ensemble stratégiquement uni que leur défense exigeait.\n\nComplètement inexplorée, cette région, d'ailleurs bien petite, sans aucune espèce d'autorité chinoise et inhabitée, se composait de la Péninsule de Macau et des îles adjacentes: Lapa, Verte, Taipa, Colovane, Dom João, et Vong-Cam, et les îlots accessoires.\n\n## La souveraineté portugaise\n\nAvec le siège du Gouvernement à Macau, ces îles et les eaux littorales environnantes formaient le fonds dont l'unité, au point de vue du droit des gens, comme cité ci-dessus, les Portugais ne sauraient qu'avoir l'intention de placer sous leur domination, et qu'ils ont, en effet, acquis, d'après la marche des événements et par force des circonstances, comme il a été démontré plus haut.\n\nL'Empire chinois ayant fait bâtir la barrière de limite de 1573, pour séparer le territoire qu'il occupait de celui de la péninsule, où les Portugais avaient déjà fondé la \"Ville du Saint-Nom de Dieu de Macau,\" n'était pas censé les exclure des îles adjacentes.\n\nD'après Martens (\"Précis du Droit des Gens moderne,\" &c., p. 38): \"A défaut de limites certaines, le droit d'une nation d'exclure des nations étrangères des terres et îles voisines ne s'étend pas au delà du district qu'elle cultive, ou duquel, du moins, elle peut prouver l'occupation.\"\n\nOr, dans ces îles, comme, d'ailleurs, à Macau, il n'y avait ni cultivation, ni habitants, ni occupation, ni vestige d'occupation. Elles étaient tout à fait désertes, comme bien d'autres dans la côte de la Chine-là sont encore de ces jours.\n\nCes territoires, donc, par ancienne, très ancienne, occupation, sont sous la souveraineté portugaise, le Portugal les gouvernait depuis longtemps à l'occasion de la signature du traité de 1887, et pourtant - le terrain entre la Porte de l'Enceinte et Passalean neutralisé - ils constituent la colonie autour de laquelle les démarcations limitrophes avec la Chine doivent être tracées.\n\n## Péninsule de Macau\n\nLa partie territoriale de la colonie - Macau et ses dépendances – désignée \"Macau,\" a été de tout temps, depuis l'occupation portugaise, la petite péninsule de ce nom, liée par un isthme très étroit à la côte méridionale de la Chine dans le district de Heung-Shan, province du Kuang-Tung.\n\nLes Portugais l'occupent tout entière depuis trois siècles et demi, et y ont fondé le siège du gouvernement.\n\nL'Empire chinois ayant reconnu, dans le traité de 1887, l'occupation perpétuelle et du Gouvernement de Macau et de ses dépendances par le Portugal, la péninsule étant, alors, dans toute son extension occupée et gouvernée par le Portugal, était naturellement comprise dans l'ensemble où incidait la reconnaissance de la Chine.\n\nAucun doute ne peut donc s'élever pour qu'elle ait le terrain neutre comme limite nord la frontière passant sur les ruines de la barrière de démarcation faite en 1573 par les autorités de Chiasan, où se trouve actuellement l'arc de la \"Porte de l'Enceinte,” construit par le Gouvernement de Macau en 1870.\n\n## Territoire neutralisé\n\nLa \"Barrière de l'Enceinte\" où est à présent la \"Porte du Cerco,\" a été bâtie par les autorités de Chinsan en 1573, pour séparer du territoire chinois la Péninsule de Macau, à cette époque déjà occupée par les Portugais.\n\nEn 1849, après la prise du fort de Passalean, à la suite du meurtre du Gouverneur Amaral, tout le territoire compris entre la barrière limite et le fort a été acquis aux Portugais.\n\nCependant, par égard envers le Gouvernement de Chine, le Gouvernement de Macau a discontinué l'occupation de ce terrain et, par une tacite intelligence avec les autorités voisines, il a été considéré comme neutre, seulement destiné à des enterrements.\n\nLes autorités chinoises se bornaient à conserver une partie de la route de Chinsan et le Gouvernement de Macau une autre partie dont il fait les frais d'éclairage.\n\nCe modus vivendi, respecté pendant plusieurs années, a produit les meilleurs résultats, ne donnant lieu à aucun conflit.\n\nMais les autorités de Chinsan, depuis quelque temps, ont pratiqué dans ce territoire des transgressions à la neutralisation tacitement entendue, et dont la manutention a été justement le motif de l'abandon, par le Gouvernement de Macau, des droits acquis avec la prise de Passalean.\n\nDu côté portugais, on a toujours protesté contre ces transgressions, et après le traité de 1887, contre les violations de son statu quo, puisqu'on ne devrait pas faire aucune altération dans les territoires à délimiter, la neutralisation devant être regardée comme un fait accompli qui se recommandait par ...\n\nPage 4\nPage 5\nPage 6", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423399, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC\n\nFrom в. та Dale\n\nSubject: \n\n15 Jan.

It is therefore requested that the diplomatic corps be informed how it is proposed to provide the necessary sum.\"\n\nThe Board would submit that the final protocol of 1901, with reference to the Whangpoo conservancy, estimated that the expenses incurred for the works and the general management of the undertaking would reach the annual sum of 460,000 Haikwan taels for twenty years. This sum was to be supplied in equal portions by the Chinese Government and the foreign interests concerned. Later it was arranged with all the Powers that China should undertake the work herself, that she would bear the whole cost, and that the annual expenses as fixed by the protocol of 1901 should remain at 460,000 Haikwan taels during a period of twenty years. By the engineer-in-chief's scheme in 1907 the works were to be finished in four years and the cost would amount to 8,000,000 taels. M. de Rijke being regarded by all the Powers as a man in whom the greatest confidence could be placed, China therefore accepted his scheme. The whole of the work according to the schedule ought to be finished by next year without demanding from the Chinese Government any more money. M. de Rijke ought to complete the work according to the estimate and within the proper time, but to the great surprise of the Chinese Government he suddenly demands more money for the work. This is quite contrary to the stipulations already agreed on.\n\nChina has expended large sums on the opening of the new channel and on the closing of the old channel, and she does not intend to allow the new channel to silt up afresh and thus lose the benefit of all the works already executed.\n\nThe Board has accordingly telegraphed frequently to the Shanghae taotai to take steps to provide the necessary funds, and to urge the engineer-in-chief to carry out the dredging operations, section by section, without any delay. The taotai has also been instructed to telegraph immediately a detailed and comprehensive scheme for the future carrying on of the works in order that the Board might carefully examine the same. As soon as the reply has been received it will be forwarded to you. In the meantime the Board has the honour to forward this memorandum for the information of the doyen, and begs that he will communicate it to his colleagues.\n\nPeking, October 9, 1909.\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n### Memorial by Wai-wu Pu to Dean of Diplomatic Body\n\nIT is in the records that we have sent a memorial on the 9th October regarding the works for the correction of the Whangpoo River.\n\nNow we are in receipt of the telegraphic answer from the Shanghao taotai, in which he says:--\n\n\"According to the sum fixed, China has provided sufficient funds, and the work hitherto done early has been examined and approved by the officials and merchants of all nationalities. Also all the Ministers residing in Peking say that good results have been obtained. This showing that China, conforming to all articles of the special treaty concerning the correction of the Whangpoo River, acted in full accordance with them and did not delay. The costs for dredging work, amounting to 300,000 taels, are not included by the sum fixed by the special treaty. As this is a work of greatest importance for the future, according to the terms of the tender, a company, who was offering cheapest and in most conforming manner, has been selected already to undertake the work. As the engineer, de Rijke, is sick, he has gone to Japan for treatment. The other works of all kinds, which are executed in the original way, have not been finished yet and still are performed as always. Besides, as the construction of the jetties has not come to an end yet, how could the Li Chi Company (East Asiatic Dredging Company) discontinue the work?\"\n\nOut of this explanation of the Shanghae taotai we find that none of the different works have been suspended. As to the dredging work, likewise sufficient funds have already been prepared and a company has been selected for the execution. This shows sufficiently that China is acting according to the treaties and does not spare efforts. As these affairs are of the greatest importance to the Chinese Government and the views are differing, the Governor of Kiangsu, by Imperial command, has been ordered especially to proceed to Shanghae to direct the Shanghae taotai to inspect in detail and to find reliable methods in order to arrive at a satisfactory result.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n### Dean of Diplomatic Body to Prince Ch'ing\n\nAltesse,\n\nPékin, le 18 octobre, 1909.\n\nJ'AI l'honneur d'accuser réception à votre Altesse Impériale de la note qu'elle a bien voulu m'adresser à la date du 16 octobre, concernant les travaux d'amélioration du cours du Whangpoo.\n\nJe constate avec satisfaction que les autorités chinoises ont actuellement à leur disposition une somme suffisante pour permettre la reprise des travaux de dragage et que, par conséquent, cette reprise aurait lieu aussitôt que faire se pourra.\n\nJe me permets, à ce sujet, de faire remarquer à votre Altesse Impériale que l'absence de M. de Rijke au Japon ne semble devoir en rien retarder l'exécution de ce projet, puisque la nature peu compliquée des opérations ne saurait exiger la présence continuelle à Shanghaï de l'ingénieur en chef; et je pense que votre Altesse sera d'accord avec moi pour constater que rien, dans l'espèce, ne s'oppose à une reprise immédiate de ces travaux.\n\nLes représentants des Puissances attachent beaucoup de prix à la continuité dans l'œuvre d'amélioration, sans laquelle le libre accès du port de Shanghai ne saurait être assuré et un préjudice très grave pourrait être causé au commerce tant chinois qu'étranger. C'est pourquoi ils ne manqueront pas d'apprendre avec plaisir la décision prise par le Gouvernement chinois.\n\nJe prie votre Altesse Impériale de bien vouloir m'aviser de la reprise des travaux de dragage dès que celle-ci sera un fait accompli. Je pourrai alors reprendre avec le conseil de votre Altesse l'étude du projet de travaux à exécuter présenté par M. de Rijke et la demande de fonds qui en dépend.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### Official Note addressed by the Wai-wu Pu to Dean of Diplomatic Body\n\n(Translation.)\n\nTHE Chief President of the Wai-wu Pu, &c., and Prince of the First Order Ch'ing sends an official reply.\n\nOn the 6th day of the first year Hsuan Tung (the 19th October) we received a note that the nature of the dredging work for the conservancy of the Whangpoo is not at all difficult, and that it is requested to resume the work quickly. Again, there is said that the Ministers of all nations regard the continuation of the work of the regulation of the Whangpoo as a matter of great importance; it is requested that a letter may be sent at the time when the dredging shall have been resumed in fact; afterwards there could be opened up the projects submitted by the engineer, de Rijke, and the funds in connection therewith.\n\nB 2\n\n`[2546 ƒ-2]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423879, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "## to make in order to provide assistance for the local auditor \nin Hong Kong during \nthe absence on \nLeave of \nMr Phelips, and I am to enquire whether the Army Council would have any objection to the employment of Mrummer Reachcote, R.G.A, \non the terms, and for the period, specified \nin the correspondence.\n\n## \nJam \nABC \nOffice or Individual. \nAh Indian \npo.

In view, however, of the fact that Mr. Phelips, the Local Auditor of Hong Kong, will be quitting the Colony in October next on twelve months leave of absence, the present did not appear to be an opportune time for proposing any change in the existing system. While, therefore, the Comptroller and Auditor General endorses the views of the Governor of Hong Kong as to the desirability of arranging for the local audit of the Expenditure accounts in future, I am to suggest that in the circumstances the date of the introduction of this change should be deferred until the Comptroller and Auditor General has...\n\nThe Under Secretary of State, \n**COLONIAL OFFICE**\n\n`E. & A.

My Board has repudiated all liability in connection with the claim, as they contend that this Company, in carrying out its powers under the Ordinance, is not liable for indirect damage to the telephone system, and, further, that the tests made before and after the Tramway commenced to work, shew conclusively that the telephones were no worse after the Tramway commenced than before; and it therefore seemed to my Board that the Government are claiming to have their defective telephones put right at this Company's expense. Upon our repudiation, the Hongkong Government intimated that they would proceed against us, and we are accordingly waiting for them to take action in the Courts in the usual way.\n\n? till the Company what we are up to.

High Street. \nFlough. \nBucks. \n28.9.09 \n\nSend him copy of 26158 from which he will see in what circumstances the abolition of his office was decided upon. Say that, his office having become unnecessary, it was abolished in accordance with the usual practice, on grounds of economy and in the public interests. The Pension Regulations provide compensation for such cases, and this he has been given. A special pension is a quite exceptional measure, and could not be given in his case. Say we will ask Gov. for a statement of his services, which will be forwarded to him. Offer to answer enquiries of other Govt. Depts. saying that we cannot interfere further (in usual form). Tell him again to apply to C.A., and say he will also be noted here for re-employment in case an opportunity should arise, which is a remote contingency.

I think it is a matter for C.A. Coke, I intend to write to them.\n\nThe letter from Mr. Cox is quite sane. The misunderstanding has been on our side. Mr. Chatham asked for the certificate of service, and we thought (not unnaturally) that Mr. Hudson had not got a certificate and wanted one.\n\nThat makes me uneasy about this case. If a man has been in the Govt. service and afterwards leaves it, he is practically precluded from earning a livelihood if the Govt., or the C.A., say anything against him. I think we should ask C.A. in view of the damage which has apparently been done by their reply to Messrs. Singer and possibly to others to do what they can in the way of finding employment for Mr. Hudson.\n\nThe indication is that the C.A. have been answering enquiries from would-be employers in terms which would obviously prevent the man getting employment. After praising him, they added \"his trustworthiness was average and he was always sober when on his work\". This was based on a report from the Colony, signed by Mr. Chatham, but surely it was wrong for the C.A. to say this to Messrs. Singer. I think the C.A. should be instructed that when a man has a certificate of service, they should not add anything to what is stated in the certificate.\n\nAnswer Mr. Hudson as Mr. Robinson proposes, with modifications indicated.\n\nOn the general question, which has some analogy to another case, I agree with Mr. Collend. I need not comment further.\n\nIt appears that Mr. Hudson's history has been very badly handled, and I think he has been treated unfairly.\n\nPage 362 \n`ACC 24/4` \n`2914` \n`462`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 424207, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 340, "title": "CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "## H.

This is not the case with the Asst Col-sect Clementi issuing the equivalent of £720 a year. He will happen to draw the equivalent of £765 from Sept onwards for next year.\n\nThe salaries of the Sikh cadets in 1899 were lower. Clementi had been in the service for a long time and now he is drawing £700 Straits ($450). He can hardly be thought to have had hard luck.\n\nThe question of the Sikh's salary will have to be considered later, referring to the general question.\n\nThe F.O. wants to fix the equivalent of $810 for three years from next January 1.\n\nI say that the S.O. repeats that he is unable to approve $810 from next January.\n\nThe argument in passage is that Mr. Clementi is debarred from acting appointments. It is not a strong one. Mr. Clementi was appointed to this post over the heads of several senior officers. If it had not been that there was this disadvantage, there would have been protests from these men at Clementi's promotion in the first instance.\n\nThe Registrar General is not qualified to suggest that Mr. Clementi should be allowed to draw the salary from 1 Jan next.\n\nPage 13 \nALC 13 \nPt. 14", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 425021, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "page_number": 46, "title": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "content_text": "## Proofread Text\n\nIt is the animate teas any an given in my marginal tur Robinson's useful.

Worthy didn't his Lordship, the Chinese magistrate, say that he should be punished with death for murder?

HB has a very interesting point to make as proposed on 28/18.5.\n\nMr Collins' reference to Alabaster's Chinese Criminal Law makes it clear that the law has recently been altered, so that a person is not punished for any crime unless they confess. I am almost certain that this still holds good. There is another point which I think has been overlooked. Assuming that he can be convicted of murder in the second degree, what the punishment would be? I am afraid that it is \"Decapitation without subject to revision\".

Of course, we know that Consultants in England see patients who call upon them.

Quarters. The Head Master's house with the exception of one room which I use as an office, is occupied by Mr. Curwen and his family. The arrangement has not in any way so far interfered with the working of the school.\n\nAttendance. The number on the roll was 34 with an average daily attendance of 30. In my own class I am glad to notice there was not one absence throughout the month. The attendance for various reasons always falls off at this time of the year, but I am given to believe that we shall receive a strong reinforcement after the Summer Holidays.\n\nSchool Hours. I have, at your suggestion, revived afternoon school in the summer term for the bigger boys. The senior boys have petitioned me for Saturday morning school: I intend, if you have no objection, to try it as an experiment.\n\nPlay-ground. The school is particularly fortunate in the possession of an excellent natural and constructed play-ground. The latter is not yet ready for use, but the fullest use is made of the former. To this I attribute largely the very healthy tone among my pupils. I have not up to now seen a single weeping complainant.\n\nDiscipline. The discipline is excellent. In the course of the month I have not been called upon to award a single punishment. The manners of the pupils can stand some improvement. I am exerting myself in this direction.\n\nCadet Corps. The school conjointly with St. Joseph's College and the Garrison School boasts of a Cadet Corps. Drills take place here once a week. My pupils are enthusiastic over it. I thoroughly approve of it and am interesting myself in it although I have no official connection with it.

Goldring, giving cover to one from the Law Society and to another from Mr. M. J. D. Stephens, on the subject of the use by the Crown Solicitor for his private practice of the offices provided for him as Crown Solicitor by the Government.\n\n2. The Law Society state that in their opinion such use by the Crown Solicitor is wrong in principle and calculated to give him an advantage over the rest of his profession.\n\n3. The objection on the score of the principle involved appears to me to be quite academic and not worth removal at the expense of the taxpayers' pocket, for an alteration in existing arrangements must lead to additional\n\na way that he gets from the fort large sum & does not have to pay any rent for his offices rents are a fact are always being told, high in Stanley especially; no doubt, rents in such a central locality.\n\nBut these matters\n\n7\n\nNo.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nTHE EARL OF CREWE,\n\n&c.\n\n80.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 426166, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "page_number": 535, "title": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "content_text": "27046 CO 533 27046 RECE Reat CP 10 1.a. 4.

To this contention however, the Chinese Government have not subscribed.\n\nSince the coming into force of the Additional Article it worked smoothly and was as a rule faithfully observed by the Chinese Government. From time to time, it is true, attempts were made to tax it indirectly by levies, nominally on prepared opium, but these attempts were invariably successfully resisted on the ground that, owing to the unknown incidence of taxation on native opium, it would thereby be subjected to differential treatment.\n\nIn 1906 China first formulated her policy of opium suppression, and invited therein the co-operation of His Majesty's Government. To this adhesion was given under certain conditions and China commenced a campaign, the vigour of which surpassed previous expectation. For some reason or other, perhaps because she is not herself one of the large opium producing provinces and hence unable to show zeal by eradicating the growth of the poppy, the province of Kuangtung, instituted suppression", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427101, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11]", "page_number": 186, "title": "CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11]", "content_text": "134\n\nbe permitted to say\n\narguments\n\nat all not\n\nused by Sir F.\n\napply to the juniors\n\nSir F.

In actual practice the greatest\n\ndetectives relied in the detection of crime on clues supplied\n\nby informants where the criminals had not left clues of their\n\ncrime behind them. The Police therefore must have the co-\n\noperation of the population. In European Countries and in Japan\n\nthey got it. In England every man's hand was against the male-\n\nfactor and if the residents in a street became aware of the\n\npresence of suspicious characters they at once, to protect\n\nthemselves, informed the Police. Here he was bound to say from\n\nhis own experience that the same support was not given to the\n\nPolice. The city was divided up for detective purposes into\n\nsections. A Chinese detective was in charge of each section\n\nand was supposed to know the inhabitants in his section and to\n\nat once report the presence of suspects. But he had known cases\n\nin which the Detective on enquiry at a tenement house say on the ground floor as to what persons occupied the first floor\n\nhad been refused any sort of information.\n\nIf", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
