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.

        "content_text": "# GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION\n\nThe following Annual Report on the state of the Government Schools in Hongkong for the Year 1867 is published for general information.\n\nBy Command,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th February, 1868.\n\n**CECIL C. SMITH**,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nHONGKONG, 22nd January, 1868.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to present to you the Annual Report on the Government Schools in this Colony for the year 1867, and in doing so I shall commence with the Village Schools.\n\n2. I regret that I am not in a position to report much progress in these. Although I am quite satisfied that the children who attend these schools derive certain advantages from the purely Chinese education that they receive in them, it cannot be concealed that education in the Villages remains in a very unsatisfactory state.\n\n3. Whatever improvements may have been made in attendance, regularity, discipline, and attention to duty on the part of the Masters, there is still a sad want of intelligence among the children. To the simplest questions—\"What do you call the part of your body with which you see?\" \"What is the organ of hearing?\"—in the majority of cases no answer can be obtained. When, failing to get the desired answer in this way, one points to the characters for eye and ear and asks the use of these organs, they seem to have no conception of what they mean. Beyond the fact that the character pointed to has a certain sound, they are in perfect ignorance of the idea which is attached to it.\n\n4. I have witnessed curious scenes on such occasions. Sometimes the Master will lose his temper at such displays of stupidity, and, taking up the question himself, try in vain to get an answer, even when he has communicated it in a whisper and trusting that it may not be audible to me. Yet, some of these boys will repeat, without a single mistake, the \"Four Books\" of Confucius. In one instance, in the Hakka School at West Point, a boy brought up, on the examination day, an array of books, consisting of the \"Shi-king,\" portions of the \"Kú-man,\" the \"Four-Books,\" the \"Odes for Youth,\" and one or two others, some ten goodly volumes in all. When asked what he did with so many books, he said he knew them all. He began with the \"Four-Books,\" and, to my astonishment, went on repeating, as rapidly as lip and tongue could move, for a quarter of an hour when I thought it time to stop him. I believe he could have repeated the whole had there been time to listen to him. But this boy, whose powers of memory were so great, and whose application must have been intense, could not explain one word of all this which he must have so laboriously committed to memory.\n\n5. It is almost impossible to get the Masters to understand that one-tenth of this, fully understood, would be infinitely more valuable to their scholars than such a body of Chinese ethics which is wholly unintelligible to them. This weary plodding, day after day and year after year, in the sterile region of sound without one glimpse at the knowledge which it contains, produces the inevitable result, as conspicuous sometimes in the Master as in the Scholar,—an incapacity to evolve a single thought or idea beyond what has been handed down, by tradition, for ages.\n\n6. The question is often asked—Why is this state of things allowed to continue, and why are not suitable books translated, and suitable Masters provided to teach them? In a Western country, no question could be more natural, and great blame would attach to those who had the power to make the necessary reform without at least attempting it. To those who are unacquainted with Chinese literature and education, it is almost impossible to explain why a reform cannot at once be made in Hongkong. I believe that every such attempt will fail until the Chinese, as a nation, come, by continued intercourse with the West, to have a higher idea of our civilization and institutions. To say nothing of the difficulty—in itself not an inconsiderable one—of getting the more appropriate lessons of English school books translated into Chinese, and of training Masters, for that would be indispensable, to teach the schools, one who knows anything of the people would see the difficulty of displacing Confucius by such works as these. Those who have seen the undisguised contempt with which an educated Chinese looks upon an English school book when he is made acquainted with the nature of its contents will understand what I mean. Ignorant as the villagers are of even their own literature, and unable as they are to give any opinion on education, they have one potent argument in store which would defy contradiction—they would not send one of their children to school.\n\n7. The comparative success of the Central School, where English school books are used, is no argument against what I have stated. I do not believe that one of the two hundred and odd boys in the school comes to be educated, in the proper sense of the word. Their only aim is to obtain such a knowledge of the English language as will enable them to get situations. I am afraid that, before long, this will receive too disagreeable a confirmation. Complaints are often made by the boys of the difficulty they now have in getting employment. The popularity of the school, therefore, would thus seem to depend very much, if not entirely, on the varying prosperity of the Colony, and not on the nature or amount of real instruction communicated in it.\n\n8. I have sometimes been asked why the best scholars in the Central School were not trained as Masters for the Village Schools. These, it is said, with suitable school books in their hands, would completely meet the want that is felt, and the present intractable race of Masters could then be dispensed with. It may appear strange to say that, in the meantime, this is impossible, but such, however, is the case. It would involve the necessity of a separate department in the school, with a separate Master for the work. This, it is evident, would entail a very considerable addition to the present Estimate for Education, with the probability, I might say, the certainty, that the special training thus to be given would, if it were through the medium of English, so familiarize the boys with the language that they would not accept such situations, and, if it were to be done through the medium of Chinese—in itself a difficulty—I need hardly say that scarcely one would be found willing to undergo it.\n\n9. I cannot doubt that the time will come, in the history of the Colony, when the Village Schools will, in some such way, be supplied with Masters, and when the villagers will appreciate the education which such Masters would impart; but, for two very obvious reasons, this cannot be accomplished at present. The first is that the boys can get higher salaries elsewhere than Government could afford to pay them. The second is that the Chinese, to say nothing of the estimation in which they hold them as regards character, to which reference will be made hereafter, look upon them, in the meantime, as totally uneducated and unfit to teach their children.",

        "content_text": "# Dates and Events connected with the History of Education in Hongkong.\n\nIt is not often that the European Community of Hongkong, far removed as it is from the busy turmoil of life at the great centres of civilization and immersed in the cares and anxieties of a purely commercial life, is agitated by the discussions that excite and divide Society at home. There, life, to the man of active mind, is a scene of constant warfare in which he finds himself ranged, almost in spite of himself, on the one side or the other, of the many questions social, political and religious, that are constantly cropping up and demanding an answer. Here we are near enough, thanks to the Suez Canal and the Electric telegraph, to have prompt and ample information of all that is going on in Europe; at the same time we are far enough away to be beyond the influence of the passion and prejudice stirred up in the breasts of even the best men by actual participation in the fray. Party contests in the Commons only amuse us. Home Rule is but an object of languid curiosity. The battle over the \"Inflexible\" and her capabilities sets up partizans in hostile array. We stand indifferent between the Turks and the Russians, and judge the one as capable as the other of the most atrocious \"atrocities.\" The question of War or Peace causes little or no excitement. If we consider the matter at all it is only as it is likely to affect Bank shares. Darwinism has, perhaps, its disciples among us, but they are non-aggressive. Ritualism may have its secret admirers and proselytes, but they are content to rest in obscurity. Of the many questions that have agitated the mind of Europe during the last dozen years there is only one that has caused lively discussion, given rise to any pronounced expression of opinion or excited any angry feeling among us. That question is one of, undoubtedly, the greatest importance; one that comes to the front sooner or later in every civilized society; one that must have a definite answer given to it, for it has a practical application not only to-day but to-morrow and for all time.\n\nHow shall we best educate our children, and, to whom shall we entrust the work, are questions that every generation has to answer not merely in words, by its writers, but in acts, by its rulers.\n\nHongkong with its large native population, and with the steady increase in its permanent European population...",

There is nothing in the name, but Dr. Eitel's duties will include only a small portion of those performed by the Registrar.\n\nI fear that it is this gradual disintegration of the Chinese Department which has given the Government its chance. Good or bad, the Hong Kong Government, the Consul at Canton, & the English Officials at the Imperial Customs Speak in strong terms about it (see the pencilled passages on to `GR1178/1922/32(III)` in the last small file, dated 1880). Should a copy of that be sent to W.

The following is a return of the trees planted since 1873, when I assumed office:--\n\nChina Firs, ... 55,849\n\nBombax, ... 2,380\n\nMoreton Bay Chestnuts, ... 1,050\n\nBanyans and India-rubbers, ... 3,039\n\nCasuarinas, ... 1,087\n\nAustralian Gums, ... 500\n\nBamboos, ... 1,200\n\nMiscellaneous, ... 11,400\n\nTotal, ... 76,455\n\nAverage number planted per annum, ... 15,290\n\nsites elsewhere.\n\nit, and which I think the owner would part with not very unwillingly, as he does not appear ever to have turned them to much account. I assess their value at $762.75, and would advise their being entered by the Crown. I am fain to recommend this course only after a fruitless search for suitable Nursery\n\n21. In addition to the outlay in its acquisition, the cost of draining and preparing the nursery, and purchasing seed and materials, will be $1,299, making a total prime cost of $2,061.75, while the ceeding yearly expenditure in labour and material will not exceed $1,610.00, a figure sufficiently moderate, I trust, to recommend the project to His Excellency the Governor's favourable consideration. 22. If not inconsistent with future Gaol Regulations, it might be possible to reduce the estimate by employing long-sentenced convicts, or those whose term of punishment has already passed from the punitive to the reformatory stage, to fill the nursery, dig holes on the hill side and to carry trees, in which case item 4 and half of 6 in the appended Estimate might be struck out and the prime cost reduced to $1,436.75, while at the same time the yearly outlay might, by means of the same assistance, be brought down to $650 as shown in the Estimate.\n\n12. However imposing this array of figures may look upon paper, the result is by no means telling on the ground itself, and it is somewhat disheartening to think that after all, the entire seventy-six thousand trees have only sufficed to dot here and there a few streets and suburban roads, a ravine or two of Victoria Peak, and to cover but sparsely the small, isolated and insignificant patches often the plantation sites shall have receded to greater distances to consider the advisability of incipient forest to be seen on the mountain slopes overlooking the harbour, and which, from the contrast of their greenness and luxuriance, serve, like oases in the desert, only to remind one the more painfully of the glaring bareness of the surrounding hills.\n\n23. During the first two years, the places to be planted out would be sufficiently close in to town to allow of convict labour, if available, being employed with safety, and I think it will be time enough continuing the work with hired coolies. Independently, however, of the class of labour to be used, it is of great importance that the tree nursery itself should be in some district immediately suburban so as to ensure its efficient supervision by myself and my officers.\n\n13. I have made with deep interest an examination of the waste lands of this Colony capable of\n\n24. With reference to His Excellency the Governor's recommendation that the cocoanut palm being wooded, and which are unfit for any better use. Freely excluding paddy-fields, meadows, and ground cultivable for food or other productive purposes, as also foreshores, tidal swamps and all places too rocky, or otherwise unable to support vegetable life, I find the sites available for trees planted in the future. None better can be selected for the sea shores or other salt low lying places of the Island and Kowloon, and its powers of resistance to typhoons is no small qualification in its favour.\n\n14. Looking to the exposure of most of these sites to the force of the North-East monsoon, and especially to the action of typhoons, it would be necessary to plant the young trees somewhat thick from five to seven cents a piece, and we might begin by purchasing and planting five thousand so as to enable them to shelter one another; not less than four should be planted to every hundred during the forthcoming year.\n\nFor ten thousand acres then, we would require open grounds near the Bowrington Canal and in the Bowrington Compound. That neighbourhood The first palm-groves might be appropriately planted in the sandy square feet, or in other words 1,740 trees to the acre. over seventeen million trees, and if our planting operations were continued at their present tortoise speed viz., at the rate of 15,000 trees a year, it would take us eleven hundred years to complete the job.\n\nHealth drive which the European Community has boasted of, owing however to the salt and sandy nature of the soil it has defied whatever attempts may have been made to cultivate it, and it remains to this day unattractive and shadeless.\n\n15. But, although feasible, it may perhaps be too much to aspire to ten thousand acres of woodland. I will, therefore, reduce my figures at once to five thousand acres, an area one third of which may be planted during the term of His Excellency's Administration without entailing any very serious outlay or throwing upon the Department over which I have the honour to preside any additional work which it may not grapple with if assisted, in the proper seasons, by hired or convict labour.\n\n25. It is the opinion of competent professional persons, that by a judicious selection of hardy classes of plants to suit the peculiar conditions of different localities in regard to soil, moisture, shelter from prevailing winds, temperature, and altitude above sea level, there will be no difficulty in\n\n16. Before proceeding further, I should explain that one of the reasons why planting has been hitherto conducted upon such a sorry scale in this Colony, is to be found in the smallness of the Government tree nursery at Sokonpò, which will not hold more than fifteen thousand seedlings and which is, therefore, unable to accommodate one year's sowing and the preceding year's trees at the same time. This will be the more readily understood, when it is borne in mind that the process of transplanting, partly dependent on the weather, extends sometimes over two months, and that owing to the young plants being still in their beds often as late as March, there is no ground available in which to sow the seeds that should be already germinating in February. For this reason for instance, no seeds were gathered or sown by Mr. FORD, the gardener, in 1876, and there will therefore, be no trees to plant next spring, a circumstance sufficiently mortifying.\n\n17. A second though subordinate reason is the inadequacy of the present staff. If our operations are increased, it will not however be necessary to add very largely to the number of permanent foresters, journeymen coolies can be taken on and dismissed as occasion may require; the cost of the and six additional Foresters is given in the Estimate appended,\n\n18. I had at one time feared that the difficulty of getting enough seeds might prevent our sowing as many as half a million each season, but the result of enquiries on this point is satisfactory.\n\nTall ...\n\n26. It is unnecessary to descant upon the benefits which the realization of this project of increased re-planting promises to Hongkong. It is universally acknowledged that the improved health of the Colony is in a great measure due to the little that has already been done in clothing the granite with luxuriant vegetation, and His Excellency will not have failed, in the short time he has been among us to notice how general and fervent is the hope that the Government will not slacken its exertions in the good work.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nJ.

Looking to the exposure of most of these sites to the force of the North-East monsoon, especially to the action of typhoons, it would be necessary to plant the young trees somewhat thick, from five to seven cents a piece, and we might begin by purchasing and planting five thousand Cocoanuts sprouted in the husk for the purposes of seed may be had in large quantities from Manila so as to enable them to shelter one another; not less than four should be planted to every hundred square feet, or in other words 1,740 trees to the acre.\n\n15.

Taking it at a prudently low estimate, I find the island and neighbouring islets will yield enough fir cones alone for that number of plants, while my correspondents at Amoy and Foochow advise me that fir cones are also procurable in those places.\n\n19. To turn out as many as five hundred thousand trees every spring, a nursery containing 12 to 15 acres would be required, also the annual services of sixty coolies for one month to collect seeds, as well as sixty coolies for two months to dig holes, to wrap and bind the plants with straw, and to convey them from the nursery to their destinations.\n\n20. Having as far back as the administration of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON disposed of all farm lands within easy distance of the City, the Government unfortunately does not now possess any ground available for a nursery, and for this purpose, it would be necessary to have recourse to a Government resumption of private land. There are some sufficiently large paddy fields at Sokonpo, the property of Mr. GEORGE DUDDELL, and registered in the Land Office as Farm Lots Nos. 1, 2 and 5, which would suit us.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nJ.

The following is a return of the trees planted since 1873, when I assumed office:- \n\nChum Firs, \n\n55,849\n\nBanyans and India-rubbers, \n\n2,880\n\nCasuarinas, \n\n1,050\n\nAustralian Gums, \n\n3,039\n\nBamboos, \n\n1,087\n\nMiscellaneous, \n\n500\n\n1,200\n\n11,400\n\nTotal,.. \n\n76,455\n\n15,290\n\nAverage number planted per annum, \n\n12. However imposing this array of figures may look upon paper, the result is by no means so telling on the ground itself, and it is somewhat disheartening to think that after all, the entire seventy-six thousand trees have only sufficed to dot here and there a few streets and suburban roads, a ravine or two of Victoria Peak, and to cover but sparsely the small, isolated and insignificant patches of incipient forest to be seen on the mountain slopes overlooking the harbour, and which, from the contrast of their greenness and luxuriance, serve, like oases in the desert, only to remind one the more painfully of the glaring bareness of the surrounding hills. \n\n13. I have made with deep interest an examination of the waste lands of this Colony capable of being wooded, and which are unfit for any better use. Freely excluding paddy-fields, meadows, and all ground cultivable for food or other productive purposes, as also foreshores, tidal swamps and all places too rocky, or otherwise unable to support vegetable life, I find the sites available for trees comprise about ten thousand acres. \n\n14. Looking to the exposure of most of these sites to the force of the North-East monsoon, and especially to the action of typhoons, it would be necessary to plant the young trees somewhat thickly, so as to enable them to shelter one another; not less than four should be planted to every hundred square feet, or in other words 1,740 trees to the acre. For ten thousand acres then, we would require over seventeen million trees, and if our planting operations were continued at their present tortoise speed, viz., at the rate of 15,000 trees a year, it would take us eleven hundred years to complete the job. \n\n15. But, although feasible, it may perhaps be too much to aspire to ten thousand acres of woods. I will, therefore, reduce my figures at once to five thousand acres, an area one third of which may be planted during the term of His Excellency's Administration without entailing any very serious outlay or throwing upon the Department over which I have the honour to preside any additional work which it may not grapple with if assisted, in the proper seasons, by hired or convict labour. \n\n16. Before proceeding further, I should explain that one of the reasons why planting has been hitherto conducted upon such a sorry scale in this Colony, is to be found in the smallness of the Government tree nursery at Sokonpò, which will not hold more than fifteen thousand seedlings, and which is, therefore, unable to accommodate one year's sowing and the preceding year's trees at one and the same time. This will be the more readily understood, when it is borne in mind that the process of transplanting, partly dependent on the weather, extends sometimes over two months, and that owing to the young plants being still in their beds often as late as March, there is no ground available in which to sow the seeds that should be already germinating in February. For this reason, for instance, no seeds were gathered or sown by Mr. FORD, the gardener, in 1876, and there will, therefore, be no trees to plant next spring, a circumstance sufficiently mortifying. \n\n17. A second though subordinate reason is the inadequacy of the present staff. If our operations are increased, it will not however be necessary to add very largely to the number of permanent foresters; journeymen coolies can be taken on and dismissed as occasion may require; the cost of these and six additional Foresters is given in the Estimate appended. \n\n18. I had at one time feared that the difficulty of getting enough seeds might prevent our sowing as many as half a million each season, but the result of enquiries on this point is satisfactory. Taken at a prudently low estimate, I find the island and neighbouring islets will yield enough fir cones alone for that number of plants, while my correspondents at Amoy and Foochow advise me that fir cones are also procurable in those places. From Canton, I have not yet sufficiently reliable data to say whether seeds are to be easily had there, but I see no reason why they should not be. At all events, all doubt as to the sufficiency of seeds is now dispelled. \n\n19. To turn out as many as five hundred thousand trees every spring, a nursery containing 14 or 15 acres would be required, also the annual services of sixty coolies for one month to collect seeds, as well as sixty coolies for two months to dig holes, to wrap and bind the plants with straw, and to convey them from the nursery to their destinations. In addition to this, the services of six permanent Foresters to act under the Head Forester as already stated would be necessary to keep the nursery in order. \n\n20. Having as far back as the administration of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON disposed of all farm lands within easy distance of the City, the Government unfortunately does not now possess any ground available for a nursery, and for this purpose, it would be necessary to have recourse to a Government resumption of private land. There are some sufficiently large paddy fields at Sokonpoò, the property of Mr. GEORGE DUDDELL, and registered in the Land Office as Farm Lots Nos. 1, 2 and 5, which would suit, and which I think the owner would part with not very unwillingly, as he does not appear ever to have turned them to much account. I assess their value at $762.75, and would advise their being re-entered by the Crown. I am fain to recommend this course only after a fruitless search for suitable nursery sites elsewhere. \n\n21. In addition to the outlay in its acquisition, the cost of draining and preparing the nursery, and purchasing seed and materials, will be $1,299, making a total prime cost of $2,061.75, while the succeeding yearly expenditure in labour and material will not exceed $1,610.00, a figure sufficiently moderate. I trust to recommend the project to His Excellency the Governor's favourable consideration. \n\n22. If not inconsistent with future Gaol Regulations, it might be possible to reduce the estimate by employing long-sentenced convicts, or those whose term of punishment has already passed from the acute to the reformatory stage, to till the nursery, dig holes on the hill side and to carry trees, in which case item 4 and half of 6 in the appended Estimate might be struck out and the prime cost reduced to $1,436.75, while at the same time the yearly outlay might, by means of the same assistance, be brought down to $650 as shown in the Estimate. \n\n561\n\n23. During the first two years, the places to be planted out would be sufficiently close in to town to allow of convict labour, if available, being employed with safety, and I think it will be time enough when the plantation sites shall have receded to greater distances to consider the advisability of continuing the work with hired coolies. Independently, however, of the class of labour to be used, it is of great importance that the tree nursery itself should be in some district immediately suburban so as to ensure its efficient supervision by myself and my officers. \n\n24. With reference to His Excellency the Governor's recommendation that the cocoanut palm should be more widely cultivated in this Colony where it thrives so well especially in the grounds and gardens of Kowloon, I would propose to make this tree enter largely into the varieties to be planted in the future. None better can be selected for the sea shores or other salt low lying places of the Island and Kowloon, and its powers of resistance to typhoons is no small qualification in its favour. Cocoanuts sprouted in the husk for the purposes of seed may be had in large quantities from Manila at from five to seven cents a piece, and we might begin by purchasing and planting five thousand during the forthcoming year. The first palm-groves might be appropriately planted in the sandy open grounds near the Bowrington Canal and in the Bowrington Compound. That neighbourhood is the Hyde Park of Hongkong and has been for the last quarter of a century the only evening health drive which the European Community has boasted of, owing however to the salt and sandy nature of the soil it has defied whatever attempts may have been made to cultivate it, and it remains to this day unattractive and shadeless. \n\n25. It is the opinion of competent professional persons, that by a judicious selection of hardy classes of plants to suit the peculiar conditions of different localities in regard to soil, moisture, shelter from prevailing winds, temperature, and altitude above sea level, there will be no difficulty in forming forests of many varieties of trees. Of the productiveness of the ground under a moderate amount of fertilization and tillage, we already possess ample proof in the vegetation we have reared, while in respect of climate, its capabilities may be best judged by the fact that firs and cocoanut palms, the typical trees of countries so widely differing as Norway and the Sahara, are here to be seen flourishing side by side. \n\n26. It is unnecessary to descant upon the benefits which the realization of this project of increased tree-planting promises to Hongkong. It is universally acknowledged that the improved health of the Colony is in a great measure due to the little that has already been done in clothing the granite with arborescent vegetation, and His Excellency will not have failed, in the short time he has been among us, to notice how general and fervent is the hope that the Government will not slacken its exertions in the good work. \n\nI have the honour to be, \n\nYour obedient Servant, \n\nThe Honourable CECIL C.

        "content_text": "253\n\nS\n\n(\n\n-\n\nthe Wizern, and it is now being generally adopted in the Service. As a defence against torpedo-boats the Nordenfeldt gun has been proved to be a much superior weapon to the Hotchkiss in a very essential particular—that of penetration—the only apparent advantage of the latter over the former being the rapidity of its delivery. The power of the Nordenfeldt is such that perfect penetration has been effected through ½ inch of best Bessemer steel at 200 yards, and through ¼ inch of a target of similar metal at 500 yards distance. The projectile is a pointed steel bullet ¾ inches in length and one inch in diameter, the entire cartridge being 5 inches long. The gun is simple in structure, apparently not easily deranged, and of great strength; it has four barrels in a row, which are fed from a case placed upon the top containing four tiers of 40 rounds: these can be discharged as single shots with time intervals, or the four can be fired almost simultaneously, and the action of refilling the breeches ejects the empty cartridge.\n\nThe gun is easily shifted from one part of the ship to another, and, being placed upon a swivel, can be fired round the compass. Some trials recently made on board the Iris, in the Medway, gave great results. In one case the torpedo-boat model was completely riddled and cut to pieces by 115 hits in the course of a 400 yards run only, the Iris going at a speed of eight knots. In another trial on the same ship whilst going a registered speed of 17.2 knots, and the tide was moving at the rate of 2.4 knots more, the gun really travelled over 20 miles an hour; from 700 yards distance to close up, 102 shots were discharged in 1min. 9sec., and afterwards 111 shots in 1min. 10sec., and the target was found to have been hit by 110 shots out of the 213; which is 93 shots per minute fired and 48 hits per minute recorded, and since that 158 shots and 104 hits have been made in the same time.\n\nThe guns' crews were from the Iron Duke, and had no further preparation than a couple of days' drill by Mr. Pascoe, the gunner of the Wivern. These men did remarkably well, with both ordnance and Nordenfeldts, considering all the circumstances. The practice was at unknown distances from 800 to 1,500 yards, and on the whole the direction was very good, and seemed to be highly satisfactory to the array of gunnery talent assembled from the various ships. Sixteen rounds were fired from the turrets and a hundred from the Nordenfeldts, and all the time the ship had way on and sometimes was going at a good speed. I did not see the target until after it was cast adrift, but it was a barrel, apparently no larger than a kilderkin, with a staff and flag stuck on it. Of course, this was a very small object at 1,500 yards, but more than once it was thought to have been smashed, so near did the shots fall to it. The men deserve praise for the smart manner in which they executed the order \"prepare for action,\" as the bulwarks on both sides were lowered, the flying bridge hoisted, and the rigging eased in in 64 seconds; at the word \"action\" the upper deck was cleared as if by magic, every man having dived down below to his post. This part of the drill was got through with much smartness and no bungling.\n\nSoon after \"cease firing\" was sounded the crew were again on deck, and in a very short space of time the ship assumed her usual appearance; and, being headed for the Shingkimoon Pass, she steamed up between Caps D'Aguilar and Beaufort Island and so towards Hongkong Harbour through the Ly-co-moon Pass.\n\nI must not omit to mention that I met on board the Wivern the jolliest-looking old Chinaman I have ever seen. With a perfectly bronzed face and long white moustaches, and such a merry twinkle in his eye as is seldom seen in men of any age, he so attracted my attention that I asked who he was, and was informed that he was Mr. Woo Soo, who 10 years ago piloted Admiral Parker's ship up the Canton River, and has continued to pilot British war ships ever since. It occurred to me that, so far as appearances go, the old man might be piloting ships 40 years hence.\n\nD 665",

        "content_text": "(3.)\n\nIt may be here mentioned that when General Grant, the ex-President of the United States, visited China in 1879 he said that, in his tour round the world, he had seen only four really great men, viz., Disraeli, Gambetta, Bismarck and Li-Hung Chang and that he was inclined to consider the latter, the Chinese Statesman and General, the greatest of the four, especially taking into account his inferior opportunities of education in his early days.\n\nThe stay at Tientsin lasted three or four days, and then His Excellency, in company with Sir Harry Parkes, the two Misses Parkes, and Mr Grosvenor, the Secretary of Legation, left for Tung-chow in house-boats towed by the Viceroy's steamers. The country was compared by His Excellency with the delta of Egypt, the mud-built dwellings, and the general aspect of the country, subject to periodical inundations, giving an Egyptian appearance to the scenery. From Tung-chow the party rode to Peking, a distance of fifteen miles.\n\nAt Peking Sir G. Bowen was received in state at the Tsung-li Yamen, or Foreign Office, by the Ministers, and high officials who govern China in the name of the Emperor, a boy of 14 who has never yet been seen by Europeans. Prince King, the President and uncle of the Emperor sent a message to Sir George stating that in consequence of the death of one of his wives, the night before, he regretted he was unable to return His Excellency's visit immediately. The Prince sent Sir George, however, a magnificent dinner, which is the highest mark of Chinese respect. Twelve huge coolies staggered into the hall of the Legation, each bearing a covered tray. When the lid was taken off each of the trays there was a separate course inside of soups, fish, game, pastry, fruits &c. With this dinner were also sent two large jars of wine from the Prince's cellars.\n\nHis Excellency visited the many places of interest in Peking, and got admission to the Temple of Heaven, the \"Holy of Holies\" of China. His Excellency was particularly impressed by his visit to this celebrated temple. It is situated in an enclosure which occupies one corner of the Chinese city, and is about the size of Hyde Park. This park is planted with fine trees. In this temple, His Excellency remarked that there are no idols; only the Supreme Being is worshipped there; for once a year the Emperor offers up burnt offerings in it to the same God of Heaven who was similarly worshipped by Abraham in the wilderness. The following description of this noteworthy temple and the ceremonies performed in it, is taken from the Guide for tourists to Peking and its environs, Issued from the China Mail office in 1876. This grand establishment originated in ancient times; although the present buildings owe their construction to the emperors of the Ming dynasty, yet it cannot be doubted that an altar of heaven existed on this place in much earlier times. A high brick wall surrounds a well-kept park, with old trees; within this enclosure, covering more than one square mile, is a second one, which again is divided by walls into several compartments. Close to the entrance of the inner enclosure is the Chai-kung, or palace of abstinence--where the Emperor has to pass the night preceding the sacrifices in watching and meditation, a fine modern building. South-east to it is the altar, a beautiful white marble structure, ascended by twenty-seven steps and ornamented by circular balustrades on each of its three terraces; it has a diameter of about 100 feet. On the south-east of it stands, at a short distance, the large furnace for the whole burnt-offering; it is faced with green glazed tiles and is nine feet high. It contains an iron grating on which a bullock is placed at the time of the sacrifice; the remaining charred bones are generally to be seen within it. Outside there is a pit for the blood and hair. On the south-west of the altar there are three high poles for hanging lanterns, which give illumination to the sacrifice, as it is performed before dawn. North\n\n(4.)\n\nof the altar is another of somewhat smaller dimensions, called the Ch'i-ku-t'an, or altar for prayers on behalf of the harvest, On it is raised a magnificent triple-roofed circular temple, ninety-feet in height, which constitutes the most conspicuous object in the whole enclosure. It is seen from many points of the city and its environs, and that which is generally called by foreigners the Temple of Heaven. Before the last century the three roofs were covered with blue, yellow and green tiles, but by Kienlung these colours were all changed to blue. In the interior large shrines of carved wood. The windows are shaded by Venetians made of thin blue glass beads strung together; they are produced at the glass factories in Shan-tung, also, as at the great south altar, are seen on the south-east the green furnace for the bullock, and besides eight iron urns, in which the other offerings, consisting of silk, cloth, grain, &c., are burnt. On the east is a winding passage or cloister of 72 compartments of 10 feet each = 720 feet in length, leading to the slaughter-house. At the latter there is a very deep well, famous for its good water, an object worth mentioning in Peking. Besides those buildings there are two halls at the back of each altar, also covered with blue glazed tiles.\n\nThe worship of the Tien, Heaven, or Shang-ti, Supreme Ruler, is the most important of all the state observances in China, and constitutes a most interesting remnant of the ancient monotheistic cultus which prevailed in China before the rationalism of the Confucianists and the polytheistic superstition of Buddhism predominated. There are no images of any kind in the temple, and the offering of whole burnt bullocks strikingly reminds us of the ancient custom of Western religious, as that of the Hebrews and the Greeks. The ceremonies of the sacrifices are kept with the utmost severity and are of a very complicated nature. The chief sacrifice is at the winter solstice. On the 20th day of December the offerings and an elephant carriage are sent with great array to the temple, and on the 21st the Emperor follows in a sedan chair, covered with yellow silk and carried by thirty-two men; he is preceded by a band of musicians and followed by an immense number of followers, including the princes, high officials, &c., all on horseback. Having arrived at the Temple, the Emperor offers incense to Heaven and to his ancestors and inspects the offerings; then he is conveyed on the elephant carriage to the Palace of Abstinence, where he is not allowed to take any animal food or wine, nor to sleep. Next morning, seven quarters before sunrise, he puts on his sacrificial robes and goes to the southern gate of the outer enclosure, dismounts from the carriage and walks to the great altar, where an Imperial yellow tent has been erected on the second terrace.\n\nAt the moment he arrives at the spot where he kneels, the fire of the sacrifice is kindled and music is heard. The Emperor then proceeds to the upper terrace of the altar, kneels and burns incense before Heaven and also presents incense to his ancestors. Then he makes three genuflections and one prostration and offers bundles of silk, jade cups and other gifts, music being heard all the time. Afterwards he kneels at another point of the altar, where an officer reads a prayer aloud. At last he receives, kneeling, the \"cup of happiness\" and the \"flesh of happiness.\" With the first dawn the whole party returns to the palace. Foreigners, who watched the party when passing the Chien-men from the city wall, speak highly of the splendid appearance of the whole procession; hundreds of officials in brilliant robes of state and numberless followers on horseback, among them a company of the Imperial Life Guards.\n\nA similar sacrifice takes place at spring solstice, with the same ceremonies, at the northern altar, but the motive is the special prayer for a prosperous harvest, Whilst the winter sacrifice is offered for a blessing upon the whole empire.\n\nOn his first arrival in Peking, Sir G. Bowen was entertained most hospitably by Sir\n\n(5.)\n\nRobert Hart, for four days, after which Sir George made his journey to the Great Wall. On returning from this trip His Excellency stayed with Sir Harry Parkes at the British Legation. His Excellency did the trip to the Great Wall in four days, but he would strongly recommend those not pressed for time to spend six over it. One can either ride on horse-back, or go in a mule litter, on this journey. His Excellency rode most of the way,\n\nOr\n\nLeaving Peking, His Excellency proceeded to Nan-kou, a distance of 30 miles where he slept. During the night a thief stole his shooting jacket, with one or two articles in the pockets. Fortunately the Governor was provided with a change of raiment, so that the theft caused little inconvenience. His note-book was, however, unfortunately in one of the pockets, and its loss was deplored because it contained the notes of his journey. Sir George may console himself with the reflection that this theft was one that might occur in many inns in England. Nan-kou is a fortified, busy little town situated at the entrance of a long, picturesque valley, stretching to the N.N.W., and is the farthest outpost of a series of fortifications which defend the very important Nan-kou pass leading to the Great Wall. From Nan-kou, Sir George proceeded on the following day to the Pa-ta-ling gate in the Great Wall, a distance from Nan-kou of about fifteen miles,\n\nThe Governor returned to Nan-kou the same day. Nothing could be worse than the present state of the roads, but they and their surroundings afforded ample proof that in ages past this part of China could boast of magnificent highways, bridges and other structures. Nothing can be more impressive than the sight of the Great Wall stretching along the crest of a high mountain-ridge for 2000 miles. The same general decay is visible in modern China as in modern Turkey.\n\nThe next day His Excellency visited the Tombs of the Emperors of the Ming dynasty, proceeding to the village of Sha-ho to sleep. This was a heavy day's riding for a man of the Governor's age, but he said he stood it almost as well as when he rode across European Turkey from Constantinople to Corfu, in 1849, when he was only 28 years old. Sir George was deeply interested in the spectacle of the Ming Tombs, with their solid white marble gateways, the famous gigantic stone tortoises, the long avenue of colossal elephants, camels, horses, sages, and warriors, cut in sandstone, the marble terraces and staircases, the noble hall, and the grand amphitheatre of mountains around.\n\nAfter sleeping at Sha-ho, His Excellency, on the following day, visited the ruins of the Summer Palace and other places of interest in the neighbourhood, especially the Bell Temple, containing the third largest bell in the world. He returned to Peking the same evening,\n\nOn his return to Peking His Excellency stayed at the British Legation, where he fully discussed with Sir Harry Parkes the questions affecting the Government of Hongkong in its relations with China. The so-called blockade of Hongkong was found to be rather a difficult subject to deal with, and any definite action in regard to it was postponed until Sir Harry Parkes' visit to Hongkong, which will take place in March next. Then it will be further discussed, and the matter in due course of time will be laid before the Legislative Council His Excellency remained with Sir Harry Parkes at the British Legation about a week,\n\nThe voyage down the Peiho was much more rapid than that up, thanks to the strong current. Only a brief stay was made at Tientsin and Shanghai on the return journey, and Hongkong was reached, after an absence from the Colony of about seven weeks, on the 24th inst. During the whole time, the weather was very fine, and the temperature delicious, like that of the autumn in Italy.\n\nEnclosure\n\n163\n\nTen Chinese Met hus 1o-day a well-written Wa Tsz-yue\n\narticle extolling Li Hung-chang for the reception he gave to Sir George Bowen with the French and British Ministers. It begins by quoting the words of Mencius: \"It requires a benevolent prince to be able with a great country to serve a small one. And it requires a wise prince to be able with a small country to serve a large one.\" Of Sir George it says: \"We have in His Excellency a Colonial Governor, lenient and loyal. Already within the first year of his administration in Hongkong, in the social circle, easy and self-possessed, he has spoken monumental words of wisdom; in the line of enterprise, undaunted by hardship, he has explored the Great Wall, and in his official capacity, zealous and painstaking, he has worthily borne his part in international counsels. Truly our Governor possesses qualities which command the imitation of all his people and the respect of all his neighbours.\"\n\n4",

        "content_text": "# \nall the greenery were silvered palm leaves which sparkled in the gaslight, and had a very charming effect. The most noticeable feature of the adornment of this hall, however, was an array of shields over each door. On each shield was emblazoned the name of a vessel in which Admiral Dowell had served during his long naval career. By a somewhat remarkable and convenient coincidence, Admiral Dowell has served on just as many vessels of the British Navy as there are doors in this hall—16 in all—so that there was a fresh name for every shield. Commencing with the earliest they were as follows: \"Druid, 1839 to 1842;\" \"Blenheim, 1842 to 1843;\" \"Racer, 1843 to 1845;\" \"Eagle, 1845 to 1848;\" \"Excellent, 1848;\" \"Albion, 1850 to 1855;\" \"Rodney, 1857 to 1858;\" \"Barossa, 1862 to 1864;\" \"Euryalus, 1864 to 1865;\" \"Leander, 1865 to 1866;\" \"Britlesnake, 1867 to 1871;\" \"Hercules, 1872 to 1875;\" \"Black Prince, 1877 to 1878;\" \"Revenge, 1878 to 1880;\" \"Mirobtur, 1882 to 1883;\" \"Audacious, 1884 to 1885.\"\n\nThe ante-room was adorned in a somewhat similar manner, save that there were none of these shields, but on the walls there were instead the large gilded shields and tridents as described above, which were surrounded by sprays of hamboo leaves. There was the usual array of seats of all kinds, and the pink globes of the gas burners had a pretty effect.\n\n## St. Andrew's Hall\nSt. Andrew's Hall was decorated in a somewhat different manner to St. George's Hall, and was in its way also very effectively treated. The main decorations were at the east end of the room.\n\nOver the central window flags and foliage were grouped artistically, in the centre being the flag of the colony and that of Admiral Dowell crossed and linked together with a true lover's knot, on which was inscribed the words \"Should acquaintance be forgot.\" Beside and below this were devices representing the sailors' badge—the Crown, the Anchor, and the Wreath—the crown in gold and jewels, the anchor in silver, with a rope winding round, and the wreath in green leaves. Above the flags was a star composed of cutlasses and ramrods. At the opposite end, the fireplace was concealed by pot plants, shrubs, green moss, and other foliage, mixed with which silvered palm leaves glittered in the light, and the sailors' badge was to be seen here also. A very noticeable feature in this room was an array of round shields, covered with red cloth—one on each pilaster. The shields had a border of green moss, and Admiral Dowell's monogram was very chastely executed in the centre. Beneath this, at the top of the pedestal, was placed a bed of moss and flowers, and at the base there were pot plants. A green wreath hung in festoons all round the hall, looped up at the top of each pilaster, and from each festoon depended a circle of green moss, in the centre of which was some device—a crown or an anchor. The gas standards were treated lightly with moss.\n\n## The Theatre\nThe entire Theatre—stage, stalls, pit, and dress circle—was converted into a supper room, tables being laid to accommodate 408 guests. The catering was done by the Hongkong Hotel Company, and the tables were most tastefully set out, while the viands and wines were all of the best quality. The table for the guest of the evening, H. E. the Governor, and party, occupied the front of the stage. There were two tables behind this, and all available space in the pit and dress circle was utilised for the same purpose. Pot plants were placed on the front of the stage and below it, and also all round the front of the dress circle. The pillars were wreathed with green leaves, and the arches below were similarly ornamented.\n\nThe verandah was dealt with in much the same way as on former occasions, being closed in with matting, carpeted, and provided with seats.\n\nThe Decoration Committee were greatly indebted to Mr. Westland, the Acting Superintendent of the Botanical Department, for the ready and most valuable assistance he gave in the provision of pot plants, flowers, &c.\n\nThere was an unusually large provision made for the ladies, and in consequence the card room was relegated to the library, where there was very ample accommodation for whist players and smokers.\n\nOver 500 guests accepted the invitations sent them, so that there was a very large gathering, which included His Excellency the Governor and Miss Bowen, with Lieut. Bowen and Lieut. Breeks, A.D.C.s. Admiral Sir William Montagu Dowell, K.C.B., Vice-Admiral Vesey Hamilton, C.B., Major-General Cameron, C.B., with Mrs. and the Misses Cameron, The Chief Justice (Sir George Phillippo) and Lady Phillippo, Commodore and Mrs Morant, the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. T. Jackson and Mrs. Jackson, Hon. F. D. Sassoon, Hon. Wong Shing, Colonel Walker, R. E., Colonel Crawford, R. A., Colonel Foster (Northamptonshire Regiment), Dr. Hungerford, A.M.D., Lieut.-Colonel Murray, O. S. D., Lieut.-Colonel Le Mesurier, C. & T. D., Major Cochrane, &c., &c. Admiral Dowell arrived at about 9.15, and was received with all honours, and shortly afterwards His Excellency the Governor and party were received at the entrance by members of the Committee.\n\nThe first dance, a quadrille, was led off by His Excellency the Governor with Mrs. Cameron and Admiral Sir W. Dowell with Miss Bowen, and dancing was sustained to the end with heartiness and spirit on an excellent floor.\n\nThe following was the programme of the dances, which was played by the Band of the Northamptonshire Regiment:\n| Dance | \n| --- | \n| QUADRILLE | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE POLKA | \n| LANCERS | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE | \n| POLKA | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE | \n| Supper | \n| VALSE | \n| Dances | \n| VALSE | \n| GALOP | \n| LANCERS | \n| round | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE | \n| HIGHLAND SCHOTTISCHE | \n| VALSE | \n| POLKA | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE GALOP | \n| Britannia | \n| Los Sourires | \n| Estudiantina | \n| Tout à la Joie | \n| Olivette | \n| Bid me good bye | \n| Myosotis | \n| Ionian | \n| Venetia | \n| Fraises Ecrasees | \n| Gretchen | \n| Thine Alone | \n| Jolly will we be to-night | \n| La Mascotte | \n| Happy Thoughts | \n| Fedora | \n| Royal | \n| Gloire de Dijon | \n| Les Grenouilles | \n| Je t'Aime | \n| My Queen | \n| Our Last Waltz | \n| Queen Victoria | \n\nThe presentation of the address took place immediately after the supper. At the table mentioned above at the front of the stage, the chair was taken by the Hon. P. Ryrie, and the party at that table included, besides the guest of the evening, H. E. the Governor, Vice-Admiral Hamilton, Major-General Cameron and Mrs. Cameron, Sir George and Lady Phillippo, and Commodore and Mrs. Morant.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**, after supper, proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen.\n\nThe toast was drunk loyally, the Band playing the National Anthem.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** then proposed the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\n49",

Any one from new to old might join them, and each and severally contribute towards the expenses of the society. On the birthday of a particular deity, they would go in a body to offer their congratulations at the shrine, and after the ceremony was over they would sit down together drinking. Members of this society share their joys and sorrows with each other, and on every occasion protect and assist one another. The slightest affront offered to one of their number, will evoke the united strength of his associates.\n\nSuch is the confidence that the membership of this association inspires in its possessors that there is practically no limit to the lengths to which they will go in breaking the law. Some of them are known to keep gambling houses, or commit robberies with violence, the proceeds of which are divided amongst them. They provide themselves with all sorts of weapons; and at the funerals of members of the Society, escort the coffin in martial array, inspiring terror by the display of swords, spears, and small arms. This ceremony is called \"pai yeh tau\" (marshalling the leaves).\n\nThese unlawful proceedings are bad enough, but there are others of a still more serious nature, actuated by a spirit of Vengeance.\n\n345",

During the temporary absence of the Governor, the medical staff of the Government Civil Hos- pital organised an Amateur concert for the amusement of the patients at Christmas time. A room in a new wing which had not been occupied was prettily decorated for the occasion. An attractive programme was made up, and all the arrangements concluded, when, the day before the event, a communication was received from the Governor, flatly vetoing the perfor- mance. The only intelligible reason assigned for this piece of bumptious tyranny was that 'a most unwarrantable liberty had been taken--in other words His Excellency's approval had not been asked. This is the way our aristocratic snob blossoms forth under the influence of Oriental surroundings and freedom from public criticism.\"\n\n**China Mail.** \n\nHONGKONG, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1889. \n\nThat I have received a communication from Manchester, asking who are the two bro- thers in Hongkong mentioned in a London daily as the possessors of Spratt's banjos, that 'quaint musical instrument which seems to be setting all fashionable London by the ears.' \n\nThat, being unable to gratify the curiosity of my Manchester friend, perhaps the Special Commissioner of the London daily alluded to may enlighten the home public upon this very interesting pe- culiarity of some of the residents here. \n\nThat those who read over the touching description of Miss Amy Sherwin's entertainment to the patients of the General Hospital in Singapore, at which her rendering of \"There is a green hill far away\" was described as nothing less than an act of real devotion and sweet ministration of song to the afflicted,' must have recalled the peculiar admixture of unreasonable unwisdom and arbitrary pettiness which robbed the Hospital patients here of a similar treat last Christmas,",

Your Petitioners dwell in a remote part by the sea and are law-abiding; they have always reverenced the Majesty and humanity of Great Britain. When they heard of the Convention leasing the area, all were delighted and only too glad to yield submission. But bad characters from other places gathered together to offer resistance, their object being to incite the people to disturbance. Fortunately, the Imperial troops in imposing array arrived on the scene and, driving back the lawless characters, restored peace to the land. By this means, the villages in your Petitioners' district are enabled to enjoy peace & prosperity, and this great mercy which has been shown to us has given us a new lease of life. Your Petitioners, therefore, on behalf of their fellow villagers who are filled with a deep feeling of gratitude, beg to humbly approach your tribunal in order to convey their heartfelt thanks and to pray that they may be mercifully protected from harm, so that, living in obedience to British law, they may forever enjoy the protection of Great Britain.\n\nAnd your Petitioners will ever pray.\n\nHere follows a list of 20 villages.\n\nDated 3rd May 1899.\n\n75\n\nTranslated by\n\n(sd) J.H.

BAX-IRONSIDE.\n\nHer Majesty's Government begging them to bear in mind the friendly way in which the territory was ceded by China and not to be deceived by false rumours,\n\nOn the 20th instant, when you came to the Yamên, you mentioned that the Governor of Hong Kong had requested the Governor-General of Canton to withdraw the troops he had lately sent, and that the Governor-General was not willing to do so. We have telegraphed to the Governor-General to withdraw these troops immediately.\n\n(Cards of Yamên Prince and Ministers.)\n\nInclosure 1 in No.\n\nThe Tsung-li Yamên to Mr. Bax-Ironside.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nPeking, May 1, 1899.\n\nSir,\n\nWITH regard to the fighting between British troops and Chinese people at Tai-po-bu in the Kowloon extension, we received your visit at the Yamên on the 29th April. You then stated that the Chinese in question included some who wore uniforms, and it was suspected that some soldiers were among their number.\n\nWe explained to you at the time that all the local defence corps formed by the villagers of Kuangtung have uniforms, and that it was certain that no soldiers had been concerned in this disturbance.\n\nWe find that on the 16th April Mr. Fulford, Chinese Secretary of your Legation, called at the Yamên and spoke of the affair. The same day the Yamên telegraphed to the Governor-General of Canton to investigate the matter and to effectively preserve order.\n\nOn the 19th April we received the Governor-General's telegraphic reply as follows:---\n\n\"On the 2nd April the Governor of Hong Kong came to see me, and requested me to send soldiers to keep order. I deputed at once the officer Fang to go with 300 men from Sanon to Samchun, and the Colonel Shên with 300 men to be stationed at Kowloon city.\n\n\"On the 3rd April, when the soldiers had not yet arrived, the foreign workmen were erecting houses for their soldiers at Tai-po-hu, and the villagers showed obstruction. Happily there was no disturbance. I afterwards received a verbal report from the officers Fang and Shen, who came to Canton, to the effect that the people of the district were disaffected, and that it was to be feared that they would make trouble with the foreign soldiers. I at once ordered the two officers to hasten to the spot and suitably admonish the people.\n\n\"In conjunction with the Governor of Kuangtung, I have issued a strong Proclamation for the instruction of the people, and quoting the terms of the Convention for the lease of the territory. This has been seen by everybody. The Proclamation also stated that the English would certainly not ill-treat the Chinese population of the extension district, and enjoined upon the people, both of the leased territory and the adjoining district, to quietly pursue their callings and not to make disturbances.\n\n\"On the 15th April, however, the English sent soldiers to erect a flagpole, and the people drew up in array on the hills and fought with the English troops. The Governor of Hong Kong suspected that they were regular troops from the fact that they had guns, cannon, and uniforms. He was not aware that the villagers of Kuang-tung, in their constant fights with each other, are always erecting forts, and use guns and cannon, and wear uniforms. This is a matter of common notoriety.\n\n\"I have now again given orders to the officers above mentioned to proceed in different directions and put a stop to these proceedings, so that there can be no disturbance.\"\n\nOn the 20th April the Yamen received another telegram from the Governor-General as follows:-\n\n\"Of the soldiers sent at the request of the Governor of Hong Kong for protection, 300 were stationed at the Custom-house and 300 at Samchun. These men and the garrison of Mirs Bay were far distant from Tai-po-hu. At the time of the disturbance raised by the people the soldiers had made no move. Of late many of the defence forces of the various villages have prepared for themselves flags and uniforms, and it is impossible to distinguish them (from soldiers). Nothing happened on the 17th and 18th April, and they may have dispersed.\"\n\nWe (the Yamen) have the honour to send you a copy of these telegrams from the Governor-General of Canton for your information, and to request you to telegraph to ...\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nMr. Bax-Ironside to the Tsung-li Yamén.\n\nPeking, May 1, 1899.\n\nON the 29th April, at an interview with your Excellency, I had the honour to convey a message from Her Majesty's Government with reference to recent occurrences in the Hong Kong extension.\n\nI subsequently telegraphed to Her Majesty's Government the substance of your Excellencies' remarks in reply, and I have now received a telegram from Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs instructing me to inform your Highness and your Excellencies that unless proper consideration be given by the Chinese Government to the representations of Her Majesty's Government, Her Majesty's Government will be obliged to conclude that the Chinese Government are ignorant of, and have no control over, the proceedings of the Governor-General of Canton and the local authorities, and Her Majesty's Government will deal locally with the question at issue in regard to the Hong Kong extension without reference to the Peking Government.\n\n(No. 18.)\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n(Signed) H. O. BAX-IRONSIDE.\n\nInclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Mansfield to Mr. Bax-Ironside,\n\nCanton, April 20, 1899,\n\nI HAVE the honour to report the details of the action taken during the last few days by this Consulate in connection with the assumption of British jurisdiction over the new territory at Kowloon.\n\nOn the 15th instant I left for Hong Kong, upon the invitation of his Excellency the Governor, to be present at the ceremonies attendant upon the hoisting of the British flag upon the day first appointed, namely, the 17th instant.\n\nOn the morning of the 16th, Mr. Pitzipios received the following telegram from his Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong\n\nMessage received from officer commanding 100 men Hong Kong Regiment, sent to Tai-po-hu to-day to prepare for Monday's ceremony of hoisting the British flag, that he found 1,000 Chinese troops with battery of field artillery; later message that Chinese troops opened fire. Request from Viceroy immediate answer whether these troops are regular forces or not; if they are, it is an act of war, I have sent ample reinforcements. I will hoist British flag to-morrow.\n\nInform Viceroy all Chinese authorities and soldiers in our territory must be removed at once.\n\nMr. Pitzipios, accompanied by Mr. Assistant Higgs, at once left for the Viceroy's Yamen and had an interview, lasting about an hour, with that official, the result of which was summarized in the following telegram, dispatched on his return, to his Excellency the Governor :-\n\n\"Just returned from interview with Viceroy, who denied that aggressors were regular forces. As regards hoisting British flag, Viceroy says 'please yourself,' but absolutely refuses to remove Custom officers and other officials. Said that soldiers would leave in due course when territory was taken over. Refused to send orders, telegraphic or otherwise.\"\n\nMr. Pitzipios characterized the Viceroy's whole tone and demeanour as obstinate, discourteous, and generally unsatisfactory.\n\nPage 450\n\nPage 451",

The No. 89 is more than perhaps two clerks on telephony exercising for 18 years, the civil service having been in existence for that long. It is hard to see how we can do otherwise than approve the proposal arrangement on 27/4.\n\nThere are 2 temporary men: one at $480, one at $360, and one at ... are both to be at $480 rising to $607. There is a third, M. Gutierrez, drawing $600; he is to be made permanent on the same incremental scale as the others. These three are said to involve no additional expenditure this year. I doubt that the extra $120 for M. Gutierrez is counterbalanced by cutting down M. Gutierrez to $480. In approving the proposed measures, we presume this is the case.\n\nC.P.L.28  \nSir,  \nRECO A-  \nYear 10 APR 90  \nGovernment House.\n\nHong-Kong, March, 1900.\n\nI have the honour to address you on the subject of the clerical staff of the Colonial Secretary's Office, and to make certain recommendations regarding it.\n\nFor the past eighteen years, two temporary clerks have been employed in the office, the present holders of these posts being Mr. E.J. do Rozario, who, with 3 years' service, draws a salary of $480 per annum, and Mr. F. do Rozario, who has 24 years' service and $360 per annum.\n\nAs it has been found necessary to employ two temporary clerks for such a number of years, it is manifest that this clerical assistance will be permanently required, more especially in view of the reductions made in the Colonial Secretary's Department since 1891 by the abolition of the three appointments of Chief Clerk, Reference Clerk, and Clerk in charge of Stationery.\n\nIt is also undesirable to have clerks who...\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.  \netc.,  \netc.,  \netc.",

The text contains numerous errors, including spelling mistakes, spacing issues, and what seems to be a mix of unrelated or fragmented sentences.\n   \n2. **Correcting Spelling Errors**: The first step is to correct the spelling errors. For example, \"loved\" should be considered in context, \"Jeans\" is likely incorrect and should be \"Years\", \"ye\" to \"year\", \"lagh\" to \"laugh\", \"fregand\" to \"frequent\", \"uintal\" to \"until\", \"deve\" to \"develop\", \"advije\" to \"advice\".\n\n3. **Fixing Spacing Issues and Rejoining Broken Sentences**: The text has several spacing issues and broken sentences. For instance, \"Se Hongkongfand.\" should be \"See Hongkong and.\", and \"to continuit\" should be \"to continuity\".\n\n4. **Reordering and Formatting**: The text seems to be a mix of unrelated sentences and parts of a letter. The letter appears to be from a significant official, possibly related to the Hong Kong government, discussing a pension fund. Reordering might be necessary to make the text coherent, especially for parts that seem out of place or are fragmented.\n\n5. **Identifying and Preserving Page Numbering and File References**: The text includes what appears to be a date (\"26 Sept 03\") and a reference to a letter (\"letter of the 16th of September\"). The formatting should preserve the original structure as much as possible, including any page numbering if present.\n\n6. **Converting to Markdown or HTML as Required**: The task requires output in HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n## Fixed solution:\nThe provided HTML solution already reflects the corrections and adjustments made according to the instructions.\n\n## Explanation of changes:\n* **Corrected spelling errors**: e.g., \"loved\" (contextual), \"Jeans\" to \"Years\", \"lagh\" to \"laugh\", \"fregand\" to \"frequent\", \"uintal\" to \"until\", \"deve\" to \"develop\", \"advije\" to \"advice\".\n* **Fixed spacing issues**: Removed or added spaces as necessary to improve readability and coherence.\n* **Rejoined broken sentences**: Where possible, sentences were rejoined to improve flow.\n* **Reordered text for coherence**: Especially for the letter part, to make it more readable.\n* **Preserved original structure**: Kept the original paragraph breaks and used `\n\n` tags for HTML output.\n* **Corrected file references and page numbering**: Ensured that file references are without spaces inside parentheses.\n\n## Tests and example uses:\nThe corrected HTML output is ready for use. It can be further tested for readability and coherence by rendering it in a web browser or an HTML viewer.",

        "content_text": "440 \n\n14 \n\n[The Chinese firm pay one in ten—at least, so they told me—but I expect that they and the Lisu often evade payment.—G. L.] \n\n\"Beyond collecting toll and tribute Teng Keng never exercises any authority on the N'Maikha side of the watershed beyond the Salween divide. \n\nThe Upper Ngaw Chang Valley consists of steep grassy slopes, with pines and chestnuts, and very little cultivation. Mules from Ming Kwang are sometimes sent here to graze, and I met a few Szechuanese peddlers with their trade loads. Below Kang Fang there are some narrow strips of paddy-land on both sides of the river.\" \n\n## VI. The Lisu Country on the Upper Salween. \n\nI was accompanied from Pien Ma to the Salween by Surveyor Lachman Jadu; my object was to collect such further information about the main Salween-Irrawaddy divide as would enable His Majesty's Government to press for the definition of the frontier north of the point (about latitude 25° 50′) where this main divide is joined by the minor divide between the Ming Kwang and Ngaw Chang Rivers, or, what is the same, the divide between the Shweli and the N'Maikha. \n\nFrom Pien Ma the track ascended steeply in an easterly direction across open grassy hills. At 8,500 feet a magnificent view was unfolded. East of us the lofty snow-clad range between the Salween and the N'Maikha stretched away towards the north; to the south of us the crest of the divide between the Ngaw Chang and the Ming Kwang Rivers stood clearly out against the sky for many miles. Nothing could have shown more clearly than this view the fitness and convenience of the frontier which we claim. \n\nBelow us lay the scattered village of Pien Ma with its narrow valley of paddy-fields stretching down to the dark gorge in which flows the Ngaw Chang. Beyond, and hanging over the right bank of the Ngaw Chang, was another majestic range of snow-clad peaks forming a barrier between the Lashi (Chinese, Cha Shau) country, which we had been exploring, and Lang-su, as it is known to the Chinese. \n\nLang-su is a general term indicating all the wild Maru country beyond the Ngaw Chang and west of the great Salween divide. It appears to be generally recognized by the Chinese as not being under their control, and no claims were put forward in respect of it. The N'Maikha above the junction of the Ngaw Chang is known to the very few Chinese who have been there as the Laug-su River. \n\nWe crossed into the Salween basin by the Pien Ma Pass at 10,500 feet. This pass is usually practicable for mules, but we found the narrow path along the hill-side leading down from the summit deep in loose wet snow, across which it was impossible for animals to proceed. We were accordingly compelled to send the mules round by the Ma Mien Pass, a détour of twelve days, and do as best we could with coolie porters. The descent on the Salween side was very steep along the gorge of the Ku Tan Stream, which joins the Salween just north of the village of Teng Keng, after a rapid course of 12 miles. After camping in the jungle some 4 miles above the scattered village of Ku T'an, we climbed up a very steep spur on the left of the stream till we reached 6,500 feet, or 3,500 feet above the Salween, whence a long half-day's march of 8 miles northwards along steep bare hill-sides with several steep ascents and descents brought us to the Lisu village of La Chang (thirty houses), situated at 6,000 feet on a wooded terrace high above the Salween. \n\nHere we reached the fatherland of the Lisu tribe, for the Lisu villages scattered about the hills further south are all emigrations from the Upper Salween. Very few of the inhabitants of La Chang can speak more than a few sentences of Chinese. At Mao Chao, the next village to the north, only the attendants of the semi-Chinese Headman can speak the language of Han. Beyond Mao Chao there are no Chinese at all except two families resident at Cheng Ka, by the banks of Salween, latitude 26°, a small village with some paddy-fields, where there is a rope sling-bridge and a ferry-raft for crossing the river in low water. \n\nWe advanced three marches north of Lu Chang, camping at the villages of Mao Chao, Shih Pai Lai Ti, and Pai Pa; fortunately, lucid moments between the perpetual thunderstorms which swept down the valley in quick succession enabled the surveyor, by advancing above and beyond Pai Pa, to map the river and the high snow-clad divide between it and the Irrawaddy as far as latitude 26° 30′. \n\nI may therefore here put together in brief the information which I have collected on this and other journeys concerning the Upper Salween—i.e., above the iron suspension bridge on the main Burmah-Ta Li road. \n\n15 \n\nFrom the bridge northwards as far as Teng Keng, latitude 26°, the river, though its basin is only some 20 miles across, flows through comparatively open country, the great mountains on both sides breaking down to the banks in open rolling downs with ample room for rice cultivation, but, owing to the extreme unhealthiness of the valley, only a small part of it is cultivated by a mixed population of Shans and Chinese. There are, however, numerous Chinese villages along the upper slopes. The principal ferry in this section is at Meng Ku, latitude 25° 36', near the market of Man Yin, on the right or west bank, which is the last bazaar on the Upper Salween, and is situated in a broad paddy-valley at the foot of the Ma Mien Pass over to the valley of Ta Tang (Upper Shweli). \n\nFrom Teng Keng, in latitude 26° northwards, to about 27° 40', the river, which maintains an equal breadth of 100 yards for a great distance, is enclosed in a gorge as precipitous as the cañon of the Mekong. From about latitude 26° the range on the west bank forms the main divide between the Salween and the Irrawaddy, and its array of peaks is covered with snow for at least eight months of the year. This range is also an important ethnographical boundary, forming a barrier between the Maru country along the east of N'Maikha and the Lisu country along the west bank of the Salween. The Salween Lisu seem to regard this range as the frontier, and speak of their own Liso country—i.e., the Salween Valley—in contradistinction to Langsu, the Kachin country on the other side of the range. \n\nThe gorge section of the Salween appears to be entirely inhabited by Lisu, a tribe closely allied to the Lolo, and probably of Thibetan origin. They are well aware of the unhealthiness of the river banks, and nearly all their villages are 3,000 feet above the bottom of the gorge, even though the paddy-fields have to be squeezed into the few gaps in the cliffs by the river banks. \n\nThe characteristic of this gorge of the Salween is the tremendous series of sharp steep spurs which come straight down from the snows to the river in an endless succession of parallels. It must be remembered that while the river itself here flows at 3,000 feet, and the mountains between it and the Irrawaddy basin on the west, or the basin of the Mekong on the east, rise to heights from 10,000 feet to 13,000 feet, the whole width of the valley from crest to crest of the two ranges is only some 18 miles in an air-line; from native information it appears that the spurs which descend to the N'Maikha on the west side of the great divide are quite as numerous and difficult as those which we negotiated on our journey northwards from Lu Chang. \n\nFrom about latitude 27° 40′ northwards to the confines of Thibet the valley of the Salween is again somewhat more open. Wide stretches of country are covered with tall grass, and the bulk of the population in this section consists of Lu Tzu, a tribe in a very backward condition and probably closely allied to the Ching-paw or Kachins. \n\nThe French `Missions Étrangères` have recently sent a priest to work among these people, and he has established himself at Chongra on the left bank at about latitude 28°. He has seen and even ascended the Salween-Irrawaddy divide, which is here the boundary between the Lu and the Chiu tribes, who inhabit the eastern sources of the Irrawaddy. This same divide was crossed by Prince Henri of Orleans at an altitude of 12,800 feet, in latitude approximately 27° 40'. \n\nIt is therefore submitted that it may be regarded as established that a high regular range divides the Salween from the Irrawaddy basin as far as the sources of the latter river, and that north of the point (about latitude 25° 52′) where the Ming Kwang-N'Maikha divide joins it, this main range is not only the most convenient frontier, but also the only frontier which His Majesty's Government can accept, and that the sooner the Government of Peking can be brought to comprehend this the better. \n\nTravelling in the Lisu country is a series of steep climbs up the almost perpendicular sides of spurs, followed by break-neck descents on the other side. The scattered villages of rude log or bamboo huts with grass thatching are generally situated near the ridges of the spurs. The streams between the spurs are violent mountain torrents crossed by rickety plank bridges, and the bottom of each little valley is occupied by a hot and steamy jungle, whence the perspiring traveller climbs painfully up to the breezy ridges. The Taotai with much difficulty got a small mountain chair as far as Mao Chao, but there had to call a halt while I and the surveyor proceeded `pedibus cum jambis`. \n\nCultivation on the steep hill slopes along the river is extensive but precarious, as the fields are liable to be swept bodily away into the Salween; paddy-fields are few, and are...",

        "content_text": "Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" of the 26th November, 1909.\n\nTHE KING'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS. UNVEILING OF STATUES. PICTURESQUE CEREMONIES.\n\nYesterday having been fixed for the local celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of His Majesty King Edward, the day was observed as a general holiday and advantage was taken of the occasion to unveil the statues of Queen Alexandra and the Princess of Wales. The usual review at the Happy Valley—a picturesque and striking pageant—was cancelled, but the ceremonial in Statue Square when the statues were exposed to public view was very imposing, and the review of the naval brigade in the Dockyard was not the least attractive feature of the day's programme.\n\nAdequate arrangements had been made for the unveiling ceremony. Two stands were erected for the convenience of residents, but many preferred the greater view obtained from the verandahs of the adjacent buildings, even the Law Courts having a large quota of spectators. The troops of the Garrison were massed on all sides of the square, and in addition to the Hongkong Volunteers, the colours of six regiments were borne by their standard bearers at the rear of the Queen Victoria Statue. The bright array of soldiers with their glansing bayonets was the most prominent element in the thrilling spectacle, and the vastness of the Empire was well illustrated by the turbanned sons of India marching with the helmeted soldiers of the King. Beautiful sunshine brought out every detail of the picturesque display, and the large throng of spectators felt compensated for the loss of the usual review at the Happy Valley.\n\nJust before 10 o'clock H.E. the Governor, accompanied by H.E. the General Officer Commanding, and Commodore Lyon, with their respective aides-de-camp and secretaries in attendance, arrived on the scene, and was received with a royal salute, the band of the Buffs striking up the National Anthem. When the music had ceased the gubernatorial party, accompanied by members of the Coronation Committee, proceeded to the specially-erected platform in front of the statue of Her Royal Highness Queen Alexandra, where the first unveiling ceremony took place.\n\nHon. Mr. E. A. Hewitt, in asking his Excellency to undertake the unveiling, told of the conditions leading up to the obtaining of Her Majesty's statue. He hoped that for many a long year the statue would remain not only as a memorial to the gracious lady it represented, but also a token of the amity and good fellowship which existed between the various nationalities who combined to make up the cosmopolitan population of Hongkong. He asked his Excellency, as a small souvenir of the event, to accept a replica of the Coronation medal, and to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said: Mr. Hewitt, Ladies and Gentlemen,—The Chairman of the Coronation Committee has already recalled to your memory the circumstances connected with the origin of this beautiful statue of our Gracious Queen. Its erection is an indication of the deep-seated loyalty of this Colony to our Sovereign, whose throne is the symbol and bond of unity between all parts of the British Empire. We pride ourselves here in Hongkong upon our loyalty and patriotism, and I doubt if any Crown Colony can rival this fine group of statues of our late revered Queen, of Their Gracious Majesties who now reign over us, of Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, who at some future date will be our King and Queen. As we wish long life to the King, so we desire that that date may be long deferred. It would be superfluous for me to say more than a very few words regarding Her Gracious Majesty the Queen. Admiration and love for her lie deep in the heart of every British subject. During all the 46 years that she has been among us those feelings have ever grown deeper and stronger. We regard her as one of the most regally endowed of Queens, and as the type and example that is best in womanhood. Her devotion to the duties of her high station and the success and charm with which she has performed them, as well as her never-failing sympathy with sorrow and suffering, are known to us all. You have erected this statue not only as an emblem of loyalty, but as a mark of admiration and love of the noble lady who is our most gracious Sovereign. It will give Their Majesties, I am sure, special pleasure to learn that this statue was subscribed for not only by their loyal subjects in this Colony, but by many who owe allegiance to other and friendly Sovereigns. They desired no doubt in this way to express their admiration of our Queen, to testify to the benefits they have received under the King's Government in this Colony, and to bear witness to the cordial relations which have existed between them and His Majesty's subjects in Hongkong. It will ever be a source of gratification to me that I have been asked to perform the ceremony of unveiling this statue to-day on the anniversary of His Majesty's Birthday, and the replica of the Coronation Medal which the Chairman has presented to me will be a valued memento of the occasion. In the name of the subscribers, I now unveil the statue and present it as a memorial for all time to the Colony of Hongkong.\n\nThe Governor then pulled a rope, the shroud obscuring Her Gracious Majesty fell away, and from the surrounding scaffolding four Union Jacks fluttered bravely in the breeze, while the band of the Buffs struck up the music accompanying a royal salute and the spectators raised cheers for Her Majesty.\n\nPage 587\n\nJAN 10]",

JR710\n\nHowever, to follow the instructions more closely and improve the output:\n\n## Step 1: Reformat the text into proper paragraphs and correct obvious OCR errors.\nThe original text appears to be a jumbled collection of words and phrases due to OCR errors. Let's first try to identify and correct some of the obvious errors and reformat the text.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon closer inspection, there are numerous spelling errors, e.g., \"Col. Calimeter\" could be \"Col. Calendar\", \"Felgenen\" is unclear, \"press до agra شما\" seems to be a mix of languages and doesn't form a coherent phrase, \"uit of t g E. of St. L\" is likely \"out of the Govt. of St. L\" or similar, \"bhou\" could be \"below\", etc.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and rejoin broken sentences.\nThere are many spacing issues and broken sentences. For example, \"I later it but the question will come befrom the next Cabinet?\" could be \"I read it later, but the question will come before the next Cabinet?\" after correction.\n\n## Step 4: Apply Markdown formatting.\nThe task requires transforming the text into standard Markdown. However, the final output format requested is HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n## Step 5: Reconstruct the text based on the given instructions and output in HTML format.\nGiven the complexity and the errors in the original text, a direct correction into coherent English is challenging without more context. However, we can still attempt to correct obvious errors and format the text.\n\nThe best answer is \n\nbefore the Col.

As it is now clear that these factors are not likely to undergo much alteration for some time to come it has become necessary to consider the best means of extending the accommodation \n\nin the Gaol and after discussion with the Superintendent, Victoria Gaol, and the Director of Public Works, I have the honour to recommend that a new hall be erected on pillars over the Lower Yard, which is on a different level from the main portion of the prison, and that an additional storey should be added to A, B, and C wings.

He said that several hundred troops and a number of\n\ndetectives had been sent into the district and that the water-\n\npatrols had been strengthened by the addition of four armed\n\nvessels. It was also, he said, proposed to erect block-houses\n\nat intervals along the lonely parts of the channel.\n\nThese block-houses would be 20 to 30 feet high and large enough to\n\naccommodate 40 soldiers. They would each be supplied with a\n\nfast canoe of the \"dragon boat\" type which would enable the\n\ngarrison rapidly to reach any threatened spot.\n\nEach block-house would be in sight of that on either side of it.\n\nIt was hoped that this chain of look-outs raised\n\nabove the level of the surrounding country would put a stop to\n\nthe device by which many pirates now avoid detection, namely that\n\nof retreating into the mulberries on the appearance of troops,\n\nhiding their arms and claiming to be peaceful cultivators.\n\nMr. Ts'oi complained, not without reason, that\n\nthe pirated junks had never attempted to make their plight known\n\nto the patrol launches and it was suggested that each junk should\n\nbe furnished with a special \"Help\" flag and a flare for night use.\n\nNeither side, however, placed much confidence in this device as\n\nit seemed very improbable that the junkmen would have the courage\n\nto use either if the pirates were near at hand.\n\nIt was also proposed that the Conservancy Junks\n\nshould always travel in parties under escort. We may be\n\nobliged to adopt this as a last resort, but it will mean\n\nconsiderable outlay on the part of the Contractors.\n\nAfter the conference was ended, both ships proceeded\n\nup the Sha Wan (Sai Wan) Channel. All the places at\n\nwhich interference had occurred were pointed out to Commander\n\nDixon and myself by the junkmaster and by us to the Officers\n\nin the \"Kong Hon\".

To which H. replied \"that C.and Co.had even in peace times used normal financial conditions and they continually wanted Extras\" --there is not much to be said against that.\n\nMoller does not know/ want to do any business in the immediate future with the corrupt China, whereas old D. is continually urging it forward (Kuhlon wonders if a holiday might be instituted a la Churchill's idea re the English and German ship-building programmes, it being understood of course as soon as Skoda Creusot etc. bestir themselves we must then again step out of the restTC). This seems to be a vague and colourless theory.\n\nMoller wants notice given to cancel the present Krupp/ Erhardt agreement under any circumstances as E. is left out by it since he will have no chance in China at equal prices. He is trying to get a new contract according to which the business will be divided between Krupp and Erhardt in a certain proportion.\n\nBaur thought Krupp 75% and Erhardt 25% (Kuhlon mentioned to Baur that he was willing to agree to 66% and 33%).\n\nWe must now see what will be brought forward at Tuesday's conference. Of course, we shall not allow ourselves to be bound.",

But look at her present magnificent array of several millions which she was able to train and put into the field in three short years to the wonder of the World and astonishment of her enemies. She has now not only sufficient materials of war for her own use, but surplus to supply to her Allies. How and why has she done all this? Because it was a matter of necessity.\n\nGreat Britain has no doubt made many mistakes and was often over-confident to her cost. But with the sacrifice of thousands of her best sons and expenditure of millions sterling in order to uphold honour, liberty, and equality, that the weak may live alongside the strong, she has learned many valuable lessons in connection with this War and will not fail to profit by them.\n\nWhen this gigantic struggle ends and then there is again Peace on the Earth, the British nation, with her many sterling qualities and her people ready to adapt themselves to meet necessities, and with her usual recuperative power and bull-dog tenacity, will in course of time be able to recover her losses and increase her national resources and maintain and add to her prosperity.\n\nI am etc.,\n\nChau Shay-son.\n\n10-\n\n: \n\n8",

        "content_text": "possible. I pause to add that on the principle laid down in Thomas v. Reg., Law Reports, 10, Queen's Bench, page 31, upon the authority of The Bankers Case (Howell, 5 Mod. Skinner), an affirmative finding upon the suppliants' allegation of an agreement between them and the Crown would have entitled them to the judgment of the Court, and that my ultimate opinion upon their appeal depends in the first place upon the fact that there was no such agreement.\n\nThe right of the Crown to occupy the suppliants' premises for necessary purposes of public defence in time of war was based by the Attorney-General upon the royal prerogative, and, alternatively, upon the Defence of the Realm (Consolidation) Act, 1914, and the Defence of the Realm Regulations. The ground of prerogative was the ground most elaborately discussed before us. The argument for the Crown was in effect that at common law there is in the Sovereign the duty of defending the realm, that this duty carries with it all necessary rights for the doing of things incident to the performance of the duty, so far as they are not unlawful, and that one of these incidental things is the occupation of land whenever military necessity so requires. As to legality, it was said for the Crown that temporary occupation for defence is not a disseisin within the prohibition of Magna Charta. As to necessity, it was contended that the Sovereign is constitutionally the arbiter. The common law duty of the Sovereign to defend the realm appears clearly in the arguments and judgment in Hampden's Case (Howell's State Trials, volume 3, page 826) in the Case of Shipmoney. The right of the Crown to enter upon lands of a subject for purposes of public defence was affirmed by the unanimous opinion of the Judges, given consultatively to the Crown in the Case of Mr. St. John's argument against Saltpetre. 12 The Reports, page 13.\n\n\"the Crown in the Case of Shipmoney throws a clear light upon the class of questions here under discussion, and the Judges there, although they were divided as to the matter which was immediately to be decided, were unanimous as to certain questions which are material to the present case. I shall refer only to the judgments of two of the Judges whose opinions were given adversely to the claim of the Crown. Mr. Justice Crooke said in discussing the prerogative: \"The law provides a remedy in case of necessity and danger, for then the King may command his subjects without Parliament to defend the kingdom.\" \"How? By all men of war whatsoever for the land, and by all ships whatsoever for the sea, which he may take from all parts of the kingdom and join them with his own Navy, which hath been the practice of all former kings.\" Mr. Justice Hutton said: “The King is bound to defend the kingdom.\" Mr. St. John for the defendant had said, \"It must needs be granted that in the business of defence the suprema potestas is inherent in His Majesty. Neither hath the law only entrusted the care of defence to His Majesty, but it hath likewise put the summa potestas and means of defence wholly into his hands\n\nNeither is His Majesty armed only with his primitive prerogative of generalissimo and commander-in-chief, but also with all other powers requisite for the full execution of all things incident to so high a place as well in times of danger as of actual war.” One of the grounds on which Hampden's resistance to shipmoney was based by Mr. St. John was the existence of \"the many prerogatives which the law hath settled in the Crown for the defence of the kingdom.\" A right to summon all subjects to defend the realm by personal service; Foster, 157, 158, Fitzherbert, Nat. Prov. Coke on Litt. 75, 76; the power of the subject to issue commissions of array, Parliament Rolls, 2 Rush 1229; power of impressment of ships and men for the Navy, Chitty, cap. lv, Selden Mare Clausum, cap. xx.; 1 Blackstone, cap. 419; 51 R. 276; and the exclusive authority to erect fortifications (Comyn's Digest: Prerogative), have been considered clear instances of prerogative rights which existed at common law. The right to enter upon lands within the realm, as and when military defence requires it, is claimed in this case as such a right, and is said to be exemplified in the decision of various courts of law, which were cited in the Shoreham Case with regard to the raising of bulwarks to repel invasion. As was pointed out for the Appellants, these were all decisions in litigation between subjects and not express determination as to the rights of the Sovereign. Litigation upon such a question as between the subject and the Crown could hardly occur. The subject would not be likely to ask or get the royal fiat for a petition of right, and the Sovereign, obstructed in what he deemed the necessary defence of the realm, would probably not resort to a prosecution for misdemeanour. The absence of legal records was relied upon by the suppliants as proof of non-existence of the alleged right. It is true that the Year Books, the more modern Reports, the Parliament Rolls, and the public accounts show no trace of a previous occurrence of such a controversy as this. It is equally true that, within the time of legal memory, armies arrayed under the authority of the Crown have repeatedly occupied large areas of land in all parts of the country to the exclusion, for longer or shorter periods of time, of the owners of the land. There are no records of complaints by action at law, or, so far as I know, by petition to the Crown, or by parliamentary protest, and the searches made by the parties in the Record Office produced no proofs of payment except for lands purchased or rented under statutory powers or by agreement. On the whole, the absence of decided cases and of records of payments or other admissions of liability by the Crown seems to me not to support the suppliants' case in this regard, but rather to tend to destroy it. The cases between subjects in which the plea of necessity in time of war for public defence was successfully raised in early times in actions of trespass are fairly numerous. In 8 Edward IV. a custom in Kent, when the enemy came to the coast, to enter upon land adjoining the same coast in defence and safeguard of the realm, and then to make there trenches and bulwark; for the defence of the realm, was held to be well pleaded. In 21 Henry VII. entry upon land in time of war, \"pur faire bulwarke in defence du Roy et le Realm,\" was held to be justifiable as a thing necessary for the commonwealth though otherwise illegal.\" In 1 Henry VIII. the opinion of the Court of Common Pleas is recorded to the effect that suburbs of cities seront plucked down in temps de guerre; pur ceo que ceo est pur le commonwealth chescun poit faire sans aver action. This alleged right is affirmed in Chitty on the Prerogative. The Case of Saltpetre declares the opinion of all the judges in 1607 that there is in the Crown a right of entry on all lands for a purpose essential for defence, though the purpose originate within the time of legal memory. That is to say, the right is not limited to cases in which it has from time to time been exercised. Not the nature of the user, but the fact of necessity, is the decisive consideration which governs the right. In my opinion the law was before the Defence Acts, and now is that, in case of necessity for public defence, the Crown may, of right, enter upon the land of the subject, and may remain in occupation while the necessity continues. This Court so decided in the Shoreham Case, and I think that the observations of Lord Parker in the Zamara indicate the concurrence of the noble and learned Lord in the view of the law expressed in that decision.\n\nThe answer of the suppliants to the claim made under the prerogative was, firstly, that whatever rights of the kind in question existed at common law—not admitting them—such rights have been abrogated by modern legislation. Reliance was placed upon a series of enactments, temporary measures enacted at intervals in the period from 1 Henry VIII. to\n\nPage 358",

T. Piggott with regard to the amount of his pension.\n\n2. I am unable to agree with Sir F. T. Piggott's views. £1000 is £1000 whether it is paid from one source or from several and I can see no reason whatever for allowing a man to draw a larger pension because his service has been divided among several Colonies than he would receive if all his service had been in Hongkong.\n\n3. The adoption of Sir F. T. Piggott's \"monthly method\" of calculating the increase due would obviously involve a considerable amount of work on the part of the Crown Agents Office and I can see no reason for imposing this duty on them.\n\n4. Sir F. T. Piggott, to judge from the language which he uses, has overlooked the fact that the grant of these increases is an act of grace.\n\n5. I take this opportunity of asking whether you can inform me of the results of the bankruptcy proceedings before we later call the matter into question with Sir F. T.

This journey will be made in a most elaborate chair, decorated with Prince of Wales's Feathers, and upholstered in white and red embroidered material. Eight coolies in full array will carry the chair.\n\nAt the Pavilion, the Prince will receive addresses in the following order:—\n\n(1.)-On behalf of the entire British community of Hongkong, presented by the Hon. Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., as one of the oldest residents, a member of the Executive Council and Chairman of the Reception Committee.\n\n(2.)-On behalf of the Chinese community of Hongkong, presented by the Hon.

The way will be by Chater Road, up Pedder Street, along Queen's Road to Garden Road, and thence to Government House.\n\n11.30.-At about this hour, when the Prince arrives at Government House, he will inspect troops of Scouts and Girl Guides.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nP.M.\n\n1.00.

        "content_text": "SUN YAT-SEN'S THREAT.\n\nCANTON CUSTOMS TO BE SEIZED.\n\nFOREIGN RESISTANCE EXPECTED.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nPEKING, DEC. 5. In spite of a warning from the Diplomatic Body informally conveyed to Sun Yat-sen a few days ago, that worthy is again threatening to seize the Customs House at Canton and to appropriate the revenues unless his claim for a share in the Customs surplus is admitted.\n\nThe foreign admirals now present at Canton are understood to be prepared to resist any interference with the Customs administration, the maintenance of which is vital to foreign commerce, and upon the regular collection of which depend the revenues devoted to the service of the foreign debt. It is therefore of the utmost importance to foreign interests that the position of the Customs should not be jeopardized.\n\nSun Yat-sen is now regarded by all classes in Canton as a ravening wolf, devouring the fat and blood of the people: in order to sustain his obsession that he is destined to be the saviour of the country. He is being used by the mercenary Yunnanese troops, who have no object but plunder, and, in his name, there has been established in Canton a system of extortion astonishing even for China. But he is being so pressed by his military opponents that he sticks at nothing to obtain money to maintain his position. Thanks to some extent to the encouragement given to him by the Hong-kong Government, there is a belief that he enjoys foreign support, and nothing will effectually explode this notion than to find that his contemplated action will meet with resistance.\n\nAPPEAL TO MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD.\n\nHONGKONG, Friday, Eugena Chen, Sun Yat-sen's confidential secretary, had a conference to-day with the Governor and high officials. Sir R. E. Stubbs listened to the presentation of Sun Yat-sen's case regarding the Customs surplus. The general opinion here does not favour any action calculated to disturb the economic relations between Hongkong and Canton.\n\nDr. Sun Yat-sen has telegraphed to Mr. Ramsay MacDonald asking him to bring to the notice of the British people, and particularly of the workers, the grave situation brought about by the despatch of the international naval force sent to Canton to prevent his seizing the Maritime Customs. This force, he says, is \"threatening his Government with acts of war\" at the behest of the diplomatic body at Pekin, which has ordered this action at the instance of the British Minister.\"\n\nHONG KONG, Friday (Later). The following is a brief summary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's statement regarding the Customs surplus which was presented to the Governor, Sir R. E. Stubbs, to-day.\n\nThe preamble recites the history of the Customs surplus, and gives a recapitulation of the correspondence exchanged between the Canton authorities and the Diplomatic and Consular officials, and embodies extracts from the Pekin diplomatic officials' reply (cabled on Dec. 18). Sun Yat-sen asserts that foreign Powers are unjustified in assembling, as they are now doing, their ships of war in Canton harbour in order nominally to protect a disputable right, but practically to assist the Pekin Government to impose its will on the Canton Government.\n\nSun Yat-sen's Government on Wednesday ordered the Inspector-General to retain at Canton and other places hereafter to be designated all Customs revenue collected within its territory and to refund all arrears of Customs surplus since March, 1920. If the order is not obeyed, the Canton Government will proceed to appoint new Customs officials who will recognise its authority and loyally assist and co-operate in carrying on the public and routine work of the Government. The statement argues that foreign Powers are without Treaty right to interfere in such a routine act of administration.\n\nPlacards are appearing in the streets of Canton urging the people to carry on an anti-British and American boycott. Others appeal to the people to unite to secure the Customs surplus in order to \"save the Chinese nation.\" Reuter.\n\nPOWERS' DIFFICULTIES.\n\nFROM OUR DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENT.\n\nDr. Sun-Yat-Sen's new ultimatum to the representatives of the Powers at Canton places the Powers in a difficult position. In all the recent controversies between the Powers and China, nothing has been more remarkable than Japan's reluctance to take any step which could offend Chinese susceptibilities.\n\nIt may be added that Washington vies with Tokio in point of diffidence, but American concern about any encroachment on Chinese sovereignty has always been a cardinal feature of United States policy. These facts explain how, when the present friction with Sun at Canton first arose, the local American and Japanese representatives, while thoroughly endorsing the demand of their British and French colleagues that the local Customs should not be seized, yet felt it incumbent to refer to their respective Governments as to whether they should associate themselves with the strong measures of coercion threatened by the British and French admirals in the event of a coup de main by Sun.\n\nThe surprisingly mild and evasive reply given by the diplomatic body at Pekin to Sun's request undoubtedly reflected the same varied pre-occupations on the part of the respective Powers. Such an atmosphere is hardly conducive to a swift and united line of policy.\n\nRUSSIAN ALLIANCE HINTED AT.\n\n(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nHONG-KONG, Dec. 7.\n\nI had a conversation with Sun Yat-sen yesterday at his headquarters in Canton. He was brisk and vigorous, and younger in appearance than when last I saw him in Shanghai. He said the war situation was excellent, but money was the great need.\n\nCanton could not continue to shoulder the whole cost of the constitutional fight for good government.\n\nHe had therefore decided to seize the Canton Customs and instruct the Commissioner to hand over all the revenues. If the Commissioner refused to do so, he would be replaced by another.\n\nPeking issued short-service foreign loans, Sun continued, but it was intolerable that Peking should be enabled to collect revenue from Kwangtung for the purpose of war. He would only abstain from seizure if the diplomatists granted Kwangtang's portion of the Customs surplus, as was granted in 1919-20, plus arrears since 1920.\n\nIn reply to a question as to when he would take the extreme step, he answered: \"Probably within the next few days.\"\n\nOn my pointing out that there were at present no fewer than nine British, French, American, and Japanese gunboats at Canton, Sun said he did not hope to overcome such an array of foreign might, but added that he would regard it as an honour to be defeated by all the Powers, and would then enter upon the second phase.\n\nThough declaring that he was sincerely anxious for good relations with the Powers, especially with Great Britain, he hinted at an active alliance with Russia.\n\nHe held them responsible for the continuance of the strife in China and for affording Peking moral and financial support. Directly that was withdrawn, the war would cease.\n\nMeanwhile, he was determined to pursue any measure to gain his ends.\n\nDr. Sun Yat-sen, who had taken a prominent part in the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty, was elected Provisional President of China in 1911, but resigned in favour of Yuan Shih-kai. After his break with Yuan, in 1917, he was elected President at Canton in April, 1921. Since then, his fortune has followed the course of the war between North and South.\n\nThe Government at Canton came to an end in July, 1922, when Sun Yat-sen was compelled to seek refuge in Shanghai.\n\nIn the first half of this year, Yunnanese and Kwangsi troops were induced to support Sun, who by May, 1923, was re-established at Canton. He was, however, for a considerable time without authority, as the military leaders kept all real power in their own hands.\n\nPage 37\n\nPage 37\n\nPage 37\n\nPage 450\n\nPage 450\n\nPage 450",

Bréaud. The convention still requires the assent of the German Government before becoming valid, but there is little reason to suppose that this will be withheld, since the French have made very considerable concessions.\n\nThe most important point in the convention is that the whole wagon park of the Régie railways remains the property of the German Government and will continue to be distributed by the central German traffic authority as before the occupation of the Ruhr. This is the first essential condition for the resumption of normal goods traffic on the Ruhr railways. The distribution of trucks for the whole of the German railways is worked from a central pool at Magdeburg. This pool receives by telephone daily statements as to the number of trucks on hand in every station in Germany and their requirements, and makes allotments accordingly. The truck movements on the Régie railways will now be included in the operation of this control by Berlin.\n\nBritish railway experts agree that under these conditions adequate transport in the Ruhr may be possible, though there are other difficulties still to be got over. The Germans have undertaken to bring the number of locomotives on the Régie lines up to the normal complement, but a very large number of those already there are seriously damaged. The working of the Ruhr railways now depends on good will being shown both by the Germans and by the French.\n\nAttached memorandum list of requests.\n\n#\n\n10\n\n224 22\n\n4.\n\nFOR WARMTH\n\nA cupful of Van for breakfast keeps one comfortable for the day and heat-proof.

This ironic little sketch, which was splendidly acted, caused much interest and amusement.\n\nThere was a charming display of operatic, classical, and character dances by pupils from Miss Grace Woollacott's Wimbledon School of Dancing. Several new and original dances added to the pleasure of this popular feature.\n\nA number of delightful pianoforte solos were given by Miss T. A. Davis; items by Madame Leoni and the Leoni Trio gave much pleasure; banjolele spirituelles by Mrs. Neville were much appreciated; and Miss Duncan, Miss Grant, Miss King, Miss Fordham, and Miss Joan Somes contributed to the musical programme.\n\nMrs. Seymour Pritchard, assisted by Mrs. Crocker, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Roles, and Miss Ivy Hawke, organised the Information Bureau and side shows. Miss Peggy Smith was kept busy executing her wonderful lightning portrait-sketches. Character readings were given by Miss Brassington, Miss Hudson, Madame Vere, and Miss Wall.\n\nThe Competition Corner, which was very popular, was arranged by Mrs. Riches and Mrs. Haines, assisted by Miss Riches, and the lucky wheel was busily rotated by Esmé May Dorrington.\n\nThe prizes, kindly given by McDougall, Ltd., for the Cake Competition, arranged by the Chiswick Branch, were won by: (1) Mrs. Baxendale; (2) Miss Whitehead; and (3) Mrs. Anderton. The judges were Miss Charles, Miss Reeves, and Mrs. Watling.\n\nAfternoon teas and refreshments were daintily served by our efficient Minerva Club, under the direction of Miss Reeves, assisted by Mrs. Atkinson, Mrs. Boyd, Miss Brewer, Miss Britain, Miss Edwards, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Hilliard, Madame Inglis, Miss Lucienne Inglis, Miss Jackson, Miss James, Mrs. James, Miss Josa, Mrs. Langston, Miss Parks, Mrs. Paul, Miss Phillips, Mrs. Rogers, Miss Thompson, Miss Thomas, Mr. Yoxall, and Miss Wesley.\n\nSpecial Thanks\n\nOur most cordial thanks are due to the Hon. Mrs. Franklin, who so kindly came to open the Fair at very short notice, Miss E. Berry, whose untiring efforts year by year make the Fair a success, and to the Fair Sub-Committee for their whole-hearted co-operation during the months of preparation.\n\nSpecial thanks are also due to the stallholders; to all who contributed to the entertainments; to those who assisted so essentially with the Information Bureau; to our caterers and their assistants; to our doorkeepers Miss Cornwell, Mr. Clifford Jones, and Mr. Thompson; to Mrs. Scott for so kindly undertaking the cloakroom; to Miss Auld for general help; to our kind purchasers, and to all who helped in any way to make the Fair a success.\n\nHow to Reach the Fair\n\nDear Fellow Members,-Very many thanks to those members who have so kindly sent contributions towards the Fair expenses and to all our kind buyers.\n\nMany members were for one reason or another prevented from reaching the Caxton Hall last Thursday and Friday, but I shall be most grateful to any who will join with us in this fund-raising fixture by sending me a small sum, to include their return fare to Westminster, their tea and supper, and perhaps a part of the useful articles they would have purchased there.\n\nIn hopeful anticipation,\n\nE. KNIGHT,\n\nHon. Treasurer.\n\n144, High Holborn, W.C.1.\n\nMARRIED WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT\n\nThe 'North Mail' reports that the question of married women teachers who hold positions in Wallsend while a number of single women were unable to find appointments was raised last week at the meeting of Wallsend Education Committee.\n\nCouncillor A. McFarlane referred to a list of names of young women who had come out of college and said there did not seem much possibility of their getting posts. He thought they might replace some of the married teachers. 'Some of the married teachers have husbands who hold good positions,' he said, 'and I do not think it is fair to girls who have come out of college and have been on the list for some time.'\n\nThe Chairman, Councillor John Mason, suggested the matter might be referred to the staffing sub-committee. There were great complications involved, and they must give careful thought before deciding upon anything.\n\nCouncillor McFarlane said he was agreeable to this course, which was adopted.\n\nWe ourselves would like to think and say if a body of women systematically applied this kind of means test to all men's employment.\n\nIt is reported that the question of the employment of married women on the staff of the B.B.C. has recently been raised again to the consternation, so it is said, of the hundreds of secretaries and stenographers at Broadcasting House.\n\nMarried women have always been employed by the Corporation and its predecessor, the old Broadcasting Company, and many of them have married during their service. It is absurd that this question should be settled on any other ground than that of efficiency.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nBRANCH NOTES\n\nWomen's Freedom League\n\nBARNSBURY AND DISTRICT\n\nOffices: 144, HIGH HOLBORN, W.C.1.

        "content_text": "35\n\nSeveral Europeans (male) have said to the writer that the only thing that interested them was the motor car. Some European ladies have said that if they could only have got more time and had an opportunity of examining them at leisure, they would certainly have taken a definite interest in all the provisions on view. To the general public, it was a pity there were many novelties on exhibition which are not to be seen in local stores.\n\nIt is, of course, impossible to say how many of the vast throng of Chinese who visited the Fair on each of the four days were trade purchasers of British goods or even potential consumers of the same in quality. The great majority appeared to be, not traders at all, but only curiously interested to stand in mild astonishment as they passed to see a wonderful array of things without any idea of purchasing. If any exhibit moved, they would stand in front of it for an hour at a time, though they were willing to move on when urged to do so.\n\nThe opinion of an official of the Telephone Company, the novelty of these instructive exhibits from abroad was perhaps the principal factor in attracting the people. The attitude of the mass of the crowd is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that when the railway station exhibit was flood-lit at night, it pleased the crowd better than anything else. They would get between the flood-light apparatus and the original exhibit and stare at the bright light for long periods at a time, with more or less damage to their powers of vision.\n\nIt is impossible at this stage to supply anything more than these very general notes of the Fair. It is proposed, after a short interval to allow exhibitors to get their perspective, to send them all a circular asking for their views as to what the Fair had achieved, was business results they have definitely experienced or expect to derive in the next few months and generally their views.",

        "content_text": "## HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\n175\n\nAs regards the taxable capacity of the Colony, it seems to me that an important point which requires expert investigation is as to how much of the Colony's wealth is in the hands of the permanent resident, and how much of it is fugitive and can be driven away by burdensome taxation. From the earliest Hansard which, thanks to my Honourable friend, Sir Henry Pollock, happens to be in my possession, that for 1906—I notice that the estimated revenue for 1907 was under 5½ million. By 1915 the revenue was nearly doubled. In 1930 it nearly reached the 28 million mark, and from then to 1936 it fluctuated between 28 to 33 million. The average yearly revenue for the past 10 years works out at 32½ million. I venture to think that no one who has studied the Budget figures of past years can fail to experience a sense of concern and dismay at the colossal rise in the cost of Government, culminating in this year's 40 million dollar Budget, or to ask himself anxiously whether the Colony's expenditure is not reaching, if it has not already over-reached, the Colony's taxable capacity.

        "content_text": "# HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nAs regards the taxable capacity of the Colony, it seems to me that an important point which requires expert investigation is as to how much of the Colony's wealth is in the hands of the permanent resident, and how much of it is fugitive and can be driven away by burdensome taxation. From the earliest Hansard which, thanks to my Honourable friend, Sir Henry Pollock, happens to be in my possession—that for 1906—I notice that the estimated revenue for 1907 was under 5½ million. By 1915 the revenue was nearly doubled. In 1930 it nearly reached the 28 million mark, and from then to 1936 it fluctuated between 28 to 33 million. The average yearly revenue for the past 10 years works out at 32½ million. I venture to think that no one who has studied the Budget figures of past years can fail to experience a sense of concern and dismay at the colossal rise in the cost of Government, culminating in this year's 40 million dollar Budget, or to ask himself anxiously whether the Colony's expenditure is not reaching, if it has not already over-reached, the Colony's taxable capacity.\n\nThose who care to read the 1906 Budget Debate will find it interesting reading.

They also consider that such a step would tie their hands should they find it necessary to revert to the system of demanding visas as a necessary preliminary to entry to the Colony by persons holding Chinese official passports. They point out, however, that the Ordinance provides for agreements for mutual abolition or waiving of visas, and the Chinese Government will be able to take advantage of that. Presumably the agreement could be denounced by the Hong Kong Government should they think conditions made it necessary to insist on the visa system again. It might, however, be noted that such an arrangement existed before the Ordinance was passed, and that the Hong Kong Government were apparently quite prepared at the end of last year to allow it to lapse.)

These developments were not difficult to anticipate - indeed they were no doubt militarily inevitable - but it is perhaps understandable that they should have had a profound effect on public opinion here and that the attack on H.M.S. \"Amethyst\" should have gravely aggravated the misgivings already entertained by all communities.\n\n7. Informed and moderate unofficial opinion here on the present and prospective political and military development in China may be summarised as follows:\n\n8.\n\nIf there was any doubt that the Chinese Communist Party would shortly control at least all the maritime provinces of China, it has now been resolved; the thesis that the Chinese Communist Party stands mainly for comparatively mild agrarian reform and that the keynote of its relations with Western powers is likely to be opportunism, has at last been effectively discredited; Chinese Communist regular forces may be expected to reach the border of this territory between September, 1949 and February 1950; force must be the basis of dealings with Communists in the Far East, just as in Eastern Europe, and if we are to hold this Colony we must be in a position to array a military force on this side of the Hong Kong-China border comparable to that which can be deployed by the Chinese Communists on the other side: there is no evidence that His Majesty's Government is determined to make this force available.\n\nPublic opinion appears to be divided on the question whether the Colony is defensible against a concerted attack by regular Chinese Communist forces: many people believe that such an attack would not be launched if British forces comparable in strength to those which could be deployed against the Colony were available, together with air forces sufficient to secure and maintain local air superiority; all agree that with the present apparent reluctance to make a firm statement about the future, and with the present exiguous military garrison, the arrival of Communist forces on the border would produce an internal situation of extreme political instability which might well result in the Government's position being made untenable without the use of military force at all.\n\n9. I have at my disposal no effective means of combatting the apathy engendered by the train of thought described in the preceding paragraphs. The purpose of this despatch is to inform you that in my considered view the situation here might at any time deteriorate seriously and rapidly unless early measures are taken to reassure the people of this territory.\n\n10. It may well be that before you receive this despatch a suitable opportunity may already have arisen in the House of Commons or elsewhere and an unequivocal statement on the future of this Colony may have been made: if not it would have a most heartening effect on public opinion here if such a statement could be made at a very early date.\n\n-5-",

Nothing like it has been recorded in these islands before.\n\nBIRD IN THE BUSH\n\nA Zanzibar local paper records that villagers using a certain narrow footpath were bothered by an unknown joker who snatched their caps from their heads as they passed. One victim who felt his cap disappearing, looked upwards instead of behind and saw a large bird making off with the cap. He followed it a short distance into the bush and saw it perch on a large baobab tree.\n\nThere to his amazement he saw all the missing caps neatly hung as in a shop in the upper branches of the tree.\n\nMOUNT KENYA MAY BECOME NATIONAL PARK SITE\n\nKenya's National Park is as yet only a small area adjoining the capital, Nairobi, but it holds a great variety of game and is of quite surprising faunal value.\n\nIt is very likely that the high moorlands of Mount Kenya will be proclaimed a National Park in the near future. In this area there will be very little game of any interest, although the approaches to it through the forest zone are full of elephants, rhino, and buffalo. The idea of establishing this particular area as a National Park would be to make its very great spectacular interest available to the public, to make it possible in time for people to reach an altitude of perhaps 13,000 feet without elaborate mountaineering equipment, and from there to see glaciers, emerald tarns, and all the strange array of grotesque-looking Alpine vegetation.\n\nSome of Kenya's prehistoric, historical, and archaeological sites may also come under the protection of the Kenya National Park Trustees. These would include the ruins of Gedi at the coast, the Portuguese fort in Mombasa, and pre-historic culture in the Rift Valley dating back nearly 250,000 years. The variety of interest that can be found in these centres ranges from pre-history to mountain forest scenery, from hot, desert-like plains to mountain streams, with, in many cases, the added thrill of big and small game.\n\nSITE",
