The Marine Board have been requested to furnish statements showing the quantity of coal available in China, the estimated consumption per month for the steamers named in the margin, the quantity in store at Singapore (which is believed to be large, and to have been promised at a cheap rate) and the quantity in store at Point de Galle. We have at the same time intimated to the Marine Board that a despatch from Sidney of from 200 to 400 tons monthly may be calculated on, and have communicated to Her Majesty's Plenipo- tentiaries and the Board, our opinion that a well protected depôt for coals should be esta- blished at Hong Kong, when our settlement on that island has been matured. Your Committee will perceive from the document noted in the margin, that Mr. Bonham had purchased between 700 and 800 tons at six dollars per ton, which he expected soon to despatch to China. \n\nquarterly 17. We have likewise requested the Accountant-general to forward to us a return, exhibiting a statement of the entire expense incurred on account of Her Majesty's Government for the China expedition, with a view to enable your Committee to take such measures for the progressive adjustment of the sums at the debit of Her Majesty's Govern- meat, as you may deem most proper. \n\n18. In this statement will be entered the lists and valuations of military and ordnance stores expended and returned, the charges for extra pay of troops, the hire of the transports, and other marine charges; value of commissariat supplies provided at the cost of the Indian Government; value of coal and marine supplies, and wear and tear of steamers, &c. calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the block and rigging. \n\n19. We have requested the Government of Bombay to have arrangements in readiness for the quick conveyance to his destination of any successor to Admiral Elliot, who may come overland from England. \n\n20. Certain proposed arrangements for the better conduct of the post-office, distribution of letters in China, and the establishment of a post-office at Hong Kong, are in contem- plation. \n\n21. The papers here cited, contain various instructions we have issued to the Board and departments concerned, calling upon them to strain every nerve to expedite the completion of the arrangements devolving upon them respectively for affording aid and despatching reinforcements to the China expedition, and pointing out the very urgent necessity on the present occasion, of more than ordinary exertion in behalf of the public service. \n\n22. In conclusion, we beg,in an Appendix, to annex for the information of your Committee, and as affording the means of a ready reference to detail, a précis on the following points not particularised in the foregoing portion of this depatch: \n\n1.

THE obstacles which our commercial intercourse with China has to encounter ought to be pointed out, to effect in some measure the removal.\n\n1. From 1839 until now, there has been piracy along the whole coast; and, though the outlaws remained at times quiet, they very soon appeared again, to strike terror in the peaceful merchant junks. This evil does not merely exist in the neighbourhood of Canton, but extends as far as Teintsin, and is most fearful on the coast of Fokien.\n\nThe principal entrances to Hong-Kong are through narrow passages, where the ruffians can lie in wait, and pounce upon their victims with great rapidity. They have at Victoria their spies, who give them correct information about every vessel that has a valuable cargo on board, and the moment she leaves, these boats prowl about to lay hold of her, and plunder her entirely. The pirates themselves come mostly from the neighbourhood of Whampoa; some cruise about in fishing-smacks of a peculiar build, so as to outsail other craft; but most of them are long rowing crafts, and several carry a letter of marque. It is very difficult to distinguish them from ordinary vessels; and when pursued, they adopt many stratagems to prevent their discovery, and generally know well to manage so as to elude the arm of justice.\n\nThe traders that come from the adjacent islands—from Canton, Tungkwan, &c.—have compounded with the buccaneers, paying them a certain sum as black mail, for which they obtain liberty to navigate the seas without molestation; but the eastern passage, towards Ly-yu-moon, is at present very much infested by these depredators. They are there also more numerous than amongst the islands, and do very much mischief. The trading junks dare not leave this harbour, unless they have a strong breeze, and can depart in a large squadron. Many, therefore, are here detained a considerable time, and are ultimately, after all precautions, nevertheless plundered. Such occurrences have, during the present month, been very numerous; whilst in some of the previous ones no similar losses took place.\n\nWe need not observe that our trade, on account of this insecurity, is much curtailed. Vessels that used to come from Kityeo and Haeyeo, and took full cargoes in this harbour, often amounting to 30-40,000 dollars in value, have suffered so repeatedly as almost to drive them away entirely; and where there were formerly three or five, we have now only one.\n\nThis evil is very inveterate, and it is difficult to suggest an effective remedy which would put a stop to it, and the more so as the Chinese government will not avail itself of our co-operation. Could one believe the sufferers when they pointed out their assailants, or discover, with sufficient proofs for conviction, their haunts, the matter would be very easy; long before, however, any force can arrive, they are gone, and there are so many harbours and hiding-places for these robbers, that it would require much local knowledge and good information to apprehend them. But as the Chinese government, on account of possessing better means for obtaining knowledge of the perpetrators, is perfectly competent to bring them to condign punishment, the constant recurrence of piracy, if duly reported to the supreme government, and the most urgent and often-reiterated requests, to put these nefarious wretches down with high hand, might rouse it from its slumbers and indifference. Some vessels of ours, fitted out in the Chinese way, might cruise about at the Kapsing and Ly-yu-moon with great advantage.\n\n2. The supplementary treaty, which stipulated that junks should only clear out from the harbours open to our trade, has fortunately not been carried into force. However, the very fact that four emporia, besides Canton, are accessible to our traders, with the many intermediate stations on the coast, makes it extremely easy for junks to go to the nearest spot, and buy there nearly as cheap as the article can be sold at Canton, without risk of shipwreck or pirates, and with a speedy return of their capital. To attract, therefore, the junk trade to Hong-Kong is beyond the range of possibility, and neither regulations nor orders could effect this; so long as the other ports are open, and the British merchant can ship whatever he pleases, and go to the market which will answer his expectations best. The trade reasonably to be expected is a transit one, by vessels that wish to go to any of the northern and southern ports, and touch here on their way.\n\n3. A more formidable obstacle is, that Chinese imports, in considerable quantity, are seldom saleable at Hong Kong. Teas were at first brought here in lots of 100 to 600 chests by sea-going junks.\n\nBut there is not a single instance on record that it could be disposed of to any advantage; on the contrary, it has entailed, in all cases, a heavy loss, and it has been given over to the shopkeepers, to get rid of it as they best could. The last adventure of this description was a cargo from the Bohea Hills, in a British vessel, which arrived from Amoy. This speculation ended still more tragically. Not only had the article to be sold by auction at a very reduced rate, under prime cost, but the parties got themselves into a lawsuit, and were involved in irretrievable difficulties, so that the whole ended in ruin. The reason given for the unfortunate issue of similar enterprises is, that the teas are not suited to our markets, and that our own merchants, having given their order to the various agents in the ports, care not for making additional and trifling purchases. Another article brought by junks is alum, which is occasionally saleable; but the greater part cannot be disposed of at Hong-Kong, and goes either to Canton or even to Macao.\n\nCamphor fetches sometimes a fair price, but many vessels that bring their cargoes here find no purchasers.\n\nThese are the staple goods, for the disposal of which no encouragement has yet been given, and the commerce on that account is very languid.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS. 151\n\nAttempts have been made to introduce sulphur, rhubarb, coarse china, earthenware, and other items; but the demand was not of such nature as to make the speculators desirous to revisit our ports. Where imports, however, find no customer, exports cannot be expected to be much coveted as long as bullion alone will purchase them.\n\n4. The whole Chinese marine commerce appears to approach a great crisis. The keenest Chinese merchants are convinced that our ships can carry goods cheaper and safer than their junks, and that merchandise of any value is better put on board of them. This will throw the carrying trade of the dearest articles into our hands, and most goods will be brought up from the Indian Archipelago in British bottoms on Chinese account, and proceed directly to the ports of their destination without touching here or elsewhere. We might have had otherwise a considerable emporium here for the Straits produce, but this change has prevented it.\n\nA few junks that touched at Victoria to buy these articles were obliged to proceed to other ports to get a cargo, whilst others that wished to collect the exports for the Archipelago, could not find a sufficient quantity on the spot, and had to send to Canton to purchase them.\n\n4. As a great drawback upon our commercial prosperity, we may mention the absence of respectable Chinese firms, and especially of Chin Cheu merchants. Up to the present moment no man possessing a considerable property has ventured to engage in the Hong-Kong trade, or to establish a house on the island. To the repeated questions put to men of substance why they did not carry on their business under a free government, with full protection of their property, the answer has always been, that it was more advantageous at Canton, or other large cities, and would not answer at Hong-Kong. We must, certainly, make some allowance for the colony being still in a state of infancy, but yet the living in the same settlement with the large English houses, and the having nothing to fear from the rapacity of the mandarins, ought to be a great inducement for large Chinese merchants to come and reside at Victoria. After all the endeavours to fix a colony of Chin Cheu merchants in our possessions, men who are the soul of the whole commerce in the Indian Archipelago, matters remain as they were before. The privileges assigned to them by the government, and the facilities afforded, have not made them willing to repair to this place; and yet in our Straits colonies they come of their own accord, and are only too happy to amass wealth under the British flag which does not allow extortions. Even at Macao, there have been for many years back three very respectable houses, the managing members of which came over to Hong Kong to ascertain whether they could not here do some business and establish a branch or remove entirely. But, after long investigation, they gave up the idea. There appears to exist a fear of laying out money without a moral certainty of the returns, and as the trade has first to be created, there is no prospect yet of securing a large profit.\n\nWith all its disadvantages, Hong-Kong possesses likewise great facilities. Though situated in a corner of the empire, many junks, on their passage to the various southern ports, pass here. Auctions being of frequent occurrence, many articles are sold at a far reduced rate from what they would fetch in other places; and there are a number of small dealers who constantly speculate in such transactions, and sell a great deal to these vessels. Thus there has existed for a long while a small trade as far as single sales are concerned, but a large one when the whole is summed up, without even the knowledge of our own merchants, and beneath the notice of our great houses. This is still carried on with great spirit, and should the centage on auctions be taken off would likely grow more brisk. Long before a junk from Canton, on her way up to the northern ports arrives here, orders are given to brokers to attend the sales and provide the cargo, and there is always a probability that the purchases will be cheaper than at Canton. The boats which come from the neighbouring cities do likewise much business in this way, and frequently invest the returns of the goods sold at this place in manufactures thus obtained.\n\nThe salt trade is the most flourishing of all the branches, and entirely in the hands of the natives.\n\nThe people that bring it hither come from Taechoo, Haehong, and Tamshuy, in the neighbourhood of which places there are extensive flats, often overflowed by the sea, and useless for all other purposes, except to collect in pans the salt, by the evaporation of the brine, which has been left. As it is, when boiled, much cheaper than the salt produced in the interior, and, moreover, not subject to the gabelle, it finds at Hong-Kong a ready sale, for salting fish and for taking it illegally up to Canton.\n\nNext to it the stone trade is deserving our attention. The only produce of Hong-Kong, for exportation, is granite, and, though a very contemptible article, still it employs many hands, a great number of boats, each about 70 to 100 tons, and some capital. There are seldom less than a hundred of the above craft which monthly leave this with a full cargo for the interior; and it is considered a profitable trade, because stone blocks are constantly in demand, and will always fetch a good price in proportion as buildings are in course of erection.\n\nThe fisheries carried on from Aberdeen and Stanley are in a flourishing condition, and consequently, also, the trade in salt fish, which the mass of the people use generally for seasoning their rice. How many smacks belong to these places has never been ascertained; but at New Year, when they make up the accounts with their partners and owners, the harbours are full of them. It would be well to inquire into the tonnage, and issue regular passes to these boats.\n\nFor some months past small vessels have been clearing out for Haenam, Teen-pak, and the west coast of Kwang Tong province in general. They take a good quantity of raw cotton, and, likewise, opium, and carry on a thriving commerce.\n\nThe junks that pass the harbour come principally from Teocheo and Hachong districts in Kwang Tung, and from Chic-po and Chaongan in Fokien.\n\n234\n\nHONG-KONG,",

        "content_text": "88\n\nBRITISH POSITION\n\nPainful, however, as it is to contemplate the mistakes of the past policy, and the defects of our present position, there is much to cheer and encourage the efforts of the statesman, if efficient measures be vigorously and promptly adopted for their remedy.\n\nOur mistakes appear to have had their origin in a misplaced leniency, in the manifestation of a magnanimity which was misunderstood, and which conveyed no real and permanent benefit on the conquered. A proud and corrupt Government, like that of China, inflated with the highest ideas of self-importance, viewed honourable and humane concessions as indications of timidity or folly; and where it could not oppose force by force, it would naturally resort to the weapons of the weak,—dissimulation, cunning, and perfidy.\n\nWhen, therefore, we found ourselves the victors of China, it was our duty, while carefully abstaining from doing aught to diminish the control of the Chinese Government over its subjects, to have adopted such measures, and to have taken such precautions, as would have prevented the grievous necessity of another war, by retaining an island or position, as a guarantee, which would command peace; by the establishment of a permanent British embassy at Pekin; and by securing perfect freedom of intercourse for British subjects with every part of China, internal or maritime. This would have been sound policy, and at the same time merciful towards both the Chinese Government and people. The former would probably be saved the disastrous calamity of another war, which may end in the subversion of the ruling dynasty, and the latter, as an imitative and tractable people, would have received the great benefits of unrestricted commerce with a more civilized nation, capable of turning to full advantage the qualities of an industrious and peaceable race, in a country improved by art, and favoured by nature to a high degree.\n\nKeying, a high minister, imperial commissioner, and viceroy of the provinces of Kwang-tung and Kwangsi, respectfully presents this duly prepared memorial to the throne. I, your minister, find that the Christian religion is that which the nations of the western seas venerate and worship,—its tenets inculcating virtue and goodness, and reprobating wickedness and vice. It was introduced into, and has been propagated in China, since the times of the Ming dynasty, and for a period there was no prohibition against it. Afterwards, because natives of China, who professed to follow its maxims, frequently made use of it to commit mischief, the authorities made examination, and inflicted punishment, as is on record.\n\n\"In the reign of Kia-kin, a special clause was first enacted in the penal code, for the punishment of this offence, and hence the natives of China were in reality prevented from committing crime,—the prohibition not extending to the religion which the foreign nations of the west worship.\n\n\"It now appears that the present envoy, Lagréné, has requested that those Chinese who follow his religion, and are in other respects blameless in the eye of the law, be held free from punishment for so doing; and as this seems what may be carried into effect, I, your minister, accordingly request that hereafter all who profess the Christian religion be exempted from punishment, and looking up, beseech the imperial grace. If any should walk in the former ways or commit other offences, they will be adjudged according to the established laws.\n\n\"With reference to the subjects of France, as well as of all other foreign countries who follow this religion, they are to be permitted to erect churches for worship only at the five ports open for foreign trade; and they are not to presume to enter the interior, to propagate their doctrines. If any disobey this regulation, and rashly exceed the fixed boundaries (of the ports), the district authorities will at once apprehend them, and deliver them over to the nearest Consul of their respective countries, to be restrained and punished: they are not to be precipitately punished with severity, or killed. By this will tender compassion be manifested to those from a far, as well as to the black-haired race, the good and the bad will not be confounded together, and by your Majesty's gracious assent, will the laws and principles of reason be displayed with justice and sincerity:—and this is my petition, that the practice of the Christian religion may henceforth entail no punishment on those who are good subjects.\n\n\"Wherefore, I respectfully prepare this memorial, and looking up, I beg that your imperial grace do cause it to take effect. A respectful memorial.\n\n\"On the 9th day, 11th month, 24th year of Taoukwang, the imperial reply was received, assenting (to the petition),”\n\n\"RESPECT THIS.\"\n\nThe above mandate was received at Suchau, on the 25th day, 12th month, 24th year of Taoukwang,\n\nShanghai, 1845.\n\nJ. Mc D.\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n89\n\nIn order, therefore, to accomplish the important objects which it appears desirable should be attained by England, for the sake of China as well as for our own interests, the following points are submitted for consideration:—\n\n1st. The final cession of Chusan to the British Crown. (a) Failing this cession, the island to be placed under the protection of Great Britain, like the Ionian islands. (b) This not being granted, Chusan to be made a free port, open to all nations, with perfect freedom of residence, &c.\n\n2nd. In consideration of the Chinese ceding Chusan to England, we might agree to withdraw our Consular stations from Amoy, Foochoo, and perhaps from Ningpo.\n\n3rd. If the Chinese Government refuse to cede Chusan, then we ought to demand the permanent establishment of a British minister at Pekin, with a guard of honour from a ship of war, to be constantly stationed in the Peiho, and that all official intercourse be carried on at Pekin.\n\n4th. We ought also to require that British subjects be permitted to reside in any part of China, with perfect security for life and property, for the free enjoyment of their religion, and for the prosecution of any lawful and proper business.\n\n5th. That other ports be opened to British commerce, viz., those in the Yang-tze-kiang river, and to the northward; and that it be permitted us to navigate any river in China.\n\n6th. That one of the other islands of the Chusan group, viz., the populous and cultivated island of Lowang, twenty-six miles in circumference; or the island of Tehinsauna, eight and a half miles long from east to west, with good anchorage in both monsoons on the north-east part of the Chusan group or archipelago, be ceded to us. By the adoption of such a system of definite policy, we should be establishing a physical and moral power in China of the utmost consequence to us as a nation, and pregnant with beneficial results of the highest magnitude.\n\nIt is the duty of statesmen to legislate and act for the future as well as for the present. The prescient mind can discern in the vista of coming events a period when the peninsula of Hindoostan will claim that right of self-government for which we are now educating the Anglo-Indian people. We ought to be preparing for such a change, and to be now engaged in the formation of a controlling and directing power in ...",

Report on the Island of Hong Kong.\n\n[20]\n\ncarriage, fees, &c., will be reduced, and the cost price thus lessened by one-third to the British consumer; on the other hand the Chinese will be able to purchase at a cheaper rate British manufactures, when they are brought by our vessels to their doors. These and other considerations render it a matter of national importance that our trade with China be diffused over several ports, instead of being confined to Canton, and indicate that it is not desirable that Hong Kong be maintained, even if the assertion be true, as a protection to the trade of Canton.\n\nThere are now five ports open on the coast of China to all European, East Indian, and American vessels. There can be no reason why foreign vessels should discharge cargo at Hong Kong, merely to change cargoes from one vessel to another; and as the Chinese government now, I believe, allows a vessel to sell part of her cargo at one port, and then proceed to another, and will probably ere long form bonded warehouses at each port, there will be still less probability of any trade being established here. It is indeed a delusion or a deception to talk of Hong Kong becoming a commercial emporium, and to liken it to Singapore. The circumstances and position of Hong Kong and Singapore present no resemblance whatever. Hong Kong is a barren rock, producing nothing, not leading to any place, surrounded by no trading or populous communities with various commodities for barter, and disadvantageously situated at the most impoverished part of a coast line of 2,000 miles, and which for half the year is only readily accessible in one direction.\n\nSingapore is most advantageously placed at the southern point of the rich Malayan Peninsula, and at the entrance of the Straits of Malacca, which may be considered the high road between Eastern and Western Asia. It is surrounded by, or lies contiguous to, the most fertile, wealthy, and populous islands and countries in the world. Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, Macassar, Penang, Siam, Cochin-China, Tonquin, Birmah, &c. The harbour of Singapore is capacious, perfectly sheltered, easy of access from every point of the compass, and never experiencing a tempest. The climate is very salubrious. The island is of great beauty and fertility, with an undulating surface, an area of 120,000 acres, all capable of tillage, and of which 20,000 acres are now under the luxuriant and profitable cultivation of sugar cane, nutmegs, pepper, rice, beetle nut, gambier, cocoa nuts, &c. The sugar made by Mr. Ballastier with a steam engine, or by Mr. Montgomerie by water and cattle mills, is equal in quality to the produce of the West Indies; the nutmeg trees are already yielding abundantly; the black pepper produced during the past year amounted to 38,000 piculs (a picul 133 lbs.), the gambier to 85,000 piculs, and there are 100,000 cocoa-nut trees in full bearing. Live stock, bread, water, and delicious fruit and vegetables of every kind, and at moderate prices, are at all times ready for the shipping, who enjoy the advantage of a perfectly free port; 86 miles of excellent roads have been completed, and extensive communications are in progress; land is being sold in fee simple at a minimum and maximum price of five to ten rupees, or 10s. to 20s. per acre; 50,000 industrious and skilful inhabitants are spreading cultivation in every direction; four companies of Sepoys constitute the sole military force of the island, which has not even a fort for its defence; the revenue in 1842 amounted to rupees 509,087, and the disbursements (including rupees 165,955 for troops, and rupees 49,789 for Bengal and Madras convicts) to rupees 494,029, leaving a surplus of income to the extent of rupees 15,083, and under the able management of the present Governor, Colonel Butterworth, it is one of the most lucrative possessions of the British Crown.\n\nThe remarkably eligible position of Singapore for a commercial emporium led to its establishment as a British colony by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, when there were but a few Malay fishermen on the island, who disputed with the tiger for their occupancy. In 1812 the trade of the colony amounted to 1,000,000£ sterling, in 1824 to 3,000,000£ sterling, and last year, and indeed for several years, the commerce of the island has averaged 5,600,000£ sterling per annum.\n\nThis trade is carried on with many countries: with Great Britain, to the extent of $3,000,000; with Calcutta, $2,800,000; with Java, 1,500,000; with foreign Europe, North and South America, Madras, Bombay, Arabia, Ceylon, Penang, Malacca, Birmah, Siam, Cochin-China, Manilla, Hainan, Formosa, and the whole coast of China; with Sumatra, Borneo, Rhio, the Moluccas, Mauritius, Australasia, &c. Traders from all these places meet by common consent at a central mart close to the Equator, and exchange the productions of Asia for those of Europe and America. It is erroneously supposed that Singapore has been created by its trade with China; such is not the fact. The total import tonnage of Singapore in 1838-39, in square-rigged vessels, was 178,796 tons, of which that from China was 32,860. The native tonnage for the same year was 48,000, of which the Chinese vessels constituted 8,000 tons.\n\nThe Straits produce, which the Chinese require, are brought to Singapore by Malay and other coasting craft who would not proceed to the northward; and the proprietors of the Chinese junks, with whom time is no object, and who go down the coast to the Eastern Archipelago with one monsoon and return with the other, prefer the speculation with their varied cargoes, and the visiting of their countrymen at the different islands.\n\nBut sufficient has been stated to show that there is no analogy whatever between Hong Kong and Singapore, and that the geographical, territorial, and commercial advantages which have contributed to the prosperity of Singapore, are totally and entirely wanting, and can never be created at Hong Kong.\n\n[21]\n\nAppendix.\n\nFinancial Point of View.-There is no apparent prospect of Hong Kong ever yielding any revenue adequate to more than a very small civil government. The limited size and rocky nature of the island, the absence of agriculture, manufactures, or commerce, and the Report on the fluctuating and predatory character of the population, forbid the hope of an income being raised to sustain a regular Government establishment, on the scale now adopted, and which is far beyond the present or prospective wants of the island community. Under the most favourable circumstances there may possibly, some years hence, be obtained from the rent of building land from 5,000£ to 7,000£ per annum; the markets, licences, fines, and fees of every description, may realize hereafter about 1,000£ per annum. Tonnage duty would not yield more than 500£ to 1,000£ per annum, if it did not drive away the few ships that now enter the harbour; it is not probable that vessels would pay 6d. per ton merely to call for orders, when they can lie in Macao roads and daily communicate with Hong Kong. A registration or licence for each male Chinese resident on the island might, if there were a more respectable class of inhabitants in the colony, produce 600£ to 1,000£ a year. Neither auction duties, stamps, or any of the other ordinary sources of taxation, would under present circumstances yield any revenue worth consideration.\n\nThe idea that the Chinese government will sanction the introduction of opium into China at a moderate fixed duty, and that a large revenue may then be raised by warehousing the drug at Hong Kong, must, I think, be abandoned as illusory. The legal admission of opium into China by the Emperor, according to the best information I can obtain, is not at all probable; but even were the traffic in opium legalized, the traders have declared they would not pay any duty in Hong Kong. They can keep their large receiving ships the whole year round in Hong Kong or in any other harbours, or tranship the opium from the vessels which convey the drug from Bengal and Bombay to this place, on board the smaller vessels, which proceed along the coast to sell, or deposit it at Whampoa, Namoa, Amoy, Chimmo, Chin-Chu, Chusan, or Woosung, in the receiving ships which lie in these bays or stations the whole year round. I will not discuss the question of raising a revenue in Hong Kong from the introduction of opium for smoking in the island, either by farming out the drug or otherwise. Independent of the morality or immorality of the question of Government deriving an income from a vicious indulgence, so long as the Chinese government prohibit the introduction and make the use of opium a capital offence, it would not, to say the least, be seemly of us to encourage the use of this destructive and poisonous stimulant in Hong Kong.\n\nThe total revenue to be expected from this colony cannot in my opinion exceed 10,000£ per annum, and to obtain this amount several years must elapse under the most favourable circumstances. The per-contra side shows an expenditure at this moment for mere civil establishment salaries and wages at the rate of 50,000£ per annum, irrespective of the cost of any public works, roads, and buildings, which is estimated at 50,000£ per annum for several years, independent also of the consular charges of 30,000£ per annum, and of the army and navy; the whole showing a yearly drain on the British Exchequer of half a million pounds sterling. (See Documentary Appendix.) And here it may be necessary to remove an erroneous assertion that this heavy yearly charge is only a portion of the revenue which England derives from the China trade.\n\nThe revenue which is obtained from tea is paid by the people of England, who buy and consume the tea. It might as well be said that the West Indies furnished the revenue derived by the British Exchequer from the coffee and sugar consumed in the United Kingdom. The incidence of taxation is on the last purchaser of the taxed article; the tea merchant in London adds to the invoice cost of the tea bought at Canton, the freight to England, the insurance, interest of money, warehousing, customs duty levied in England, and the fair profits of trade on every chest of tea he may sell to the grocer, who then regulates the price at which he can afford to sell a pound of tea to his customer, who finally pays the whole charges, taxes, and profits to the several parties before he drinks his tea. The revenue derived from the China trade is paid by the people of England; the merchant who carries on the trade does not pay one shilling of it.\n\nIt will be for Her Majesty's Ministers to decide whether, on a review of the whole case, there be any justification for spending half a million sterling annually on this coast. Commodore Chads, C.B., who has had extensive experience for many years in China, is of opinion that England would be wise in not establishing any colony in China.\n\nAs a general principle, colonies that will not pay at least the expense of their civil government are not worth maintaining. There does not appear any reason why Hong Kong should be an exception to this rule. There is not, as has been fancifully supposed, any analogy whatever between Hong Kong and Gibraltar. Hong Kong commands nothing; a glance at a chart will show that the navigation of the China seas is perfectly independent of Hong Kong; nay, even the entrance of the Canton river is not controlled by Hong Kong; it is not possible by any outlay of money to make the island a fortress, and it is commanded by the opposite shore of the main land. But supposing several millions sterling were spent in fortifying Hong Kong, and half a million were annually expended for its garrison, the cui bono would constantly recur. From a Chinese enemy the island has nothing to apprehend even at present; no European or American state would think...",

        "content_text": "207\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n14\n\nREPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT\n\nmarried females reside here. In this respect there has been very little improvement during the last year.\n\nThe importation of sugar from Tae-ping and other places was, during last year, very considerable. The growers were able to sell it here cheaper, on account of not paying export duties, than it was procurable at Canton, and hence many sales. This branch of commerce will mainly depend upon the prices for which it can be brought to Hong Kong, and the amount it will fetch at home. Should the crops of this season be as abundant as last year there can be no doubt but the importation in 1849 will be larger. With a richer kind of cane, which is here very thin and juiceless, and good machinery, the Chinese might compete with slave sugar, for work is very cheap, and an acre planted with sugar-cane yields, even at reduced prices, more profit than a rice-field. There is, however, a great demand for this commodity in the northern provinces, so that the prices can never go below a certain level. The Government are rather opposed to the extension of the culture, lest paddy—the staff of life, and vegetables might be grown in smaller quantities. The foreign exportations constitute up to this time not one hundredth part of the home consumption, and have not yet materially affected the market.\n\nNeither camphor, rhubarb, nor teas have any more been brought by junks to this market; all those who speculated in these articles have lost, and this is the reason for their abstaining from any further attempts. It was owing to the small demand that the first could not find ready purchasers; the second offered for sale by the junks was of an inferior quality, and next to useless in the English market; the last shipped to Hong Kong was not selected according to the demand, and realized therefore next to nothing. Another difficulty was, that the men who made this trial had no capital, and could sell for ready-money only. If direct communications be established with Fuch-choo, and a judicious choice made of the teas most in demand, the junks no doubt might sell the black kinds to greater advantage here than any tea-man could do at Canton who has to transport his goods through a long and expensive inland passage.\n\nEfforts have been made to induce the Fokeen junks to bring coals from Ke-lung on the north-coast of Formosa. Some small investments have been brought here; not yet, however, to give rise to hopes that all our supplies would henceforth be imported from thence. The Chinese Government does not prevent the exportation; but the labour to bring them on board in the absence of all machinery, and even a common cart, is very great. Still it is very likely that the ingenious and plodding Chinese may get over these difficulties, and import them here during the north-east monsoon as ballast.\n\nAlum finds generally a ready sale at this port, because it can be obtained cheaper here than at Canton, where it has to pay an import and export duty. It is brought here in Fokëen Chaougan junks, which fetch it from an island on the coast of Keangsoo, where it is found in immense quantities; some comes likewise from Che-keang. The junks buy it on the spot at an average rate of half a dollar per picul; and if they can dispose of it here at one and a quarter dollar they make a fair profit; at one dollar it does only cover the freight and labour. Several cargoes have been imported and sold at remunerating prices.\n\nSalt has been imported in greater quantities than at any of the preceding years, the whole amounting, according to the returns of the salt-weigher, which are always less than the actual quantity, to 297,050 piculs in 524 junks. The largest quantity imported in a single month was 41,150 piculs, the smallest 13,000: the junks have varied from 31 to 52 per month. By far the most extensive importers are the Pwan-yu boats. The demand for this article is likely to increase, on account of the large fisheries in the neighbouring seas, which become every year more numerous, and the great difference between the prices here and in the interior. The Fokeen junks have already commenced to become the importers; and though they were in the first instance beaten out of the market by very low prices, they have again ventured to compete with the salt manufacturers in the neighbourhood.\n\nA greater number of marine junks visited this year the port than at any previous period. A few of them sold sundry articles imported from the north for Chinese consumption, whilst others bought opium and calicoes, the staple articles of exportation, with ready money. This trade has of late most materially increased; yet the transactions are secret, and to obtain the true returns is impossible. Few vessels, however, anchor here without buying something; and as there were about 80 junks on an average per month, the sum total of this money laid out cannot be inconsiderable.\n\nThe only produce of our island, granite slabs, freighted 777 large boats. Insignificant as this commodity may appear, it nevertheless gives employ to more than 1000 people, whose perseverance and hard labour are exemplary.\n\nThe fisheries have been extended, and it is much to be regretted that the particulars cannot be given, no account being kept. The owners of the smacks, on account of not being here exposed to the extortions of mandarins, prefer Stanley and Aberdeen to native harbours; and their agents, who supply them with rice and other necessaries, find it more advantageous to live under the British flag than take upon themselves the responsibility their own Government imposes upon them, and the consequent liability of paying heavy fines, if the fishing-craft they have secured commit outrages. The exportation of salt-fish to the interior from the above two places has been very large as it is an article of food of which the poorest partake, there is a constant demand.\n\nDuring this year not one single instance occurred, to my recollection, of the Chinese Government interfering with vessels that came to the port. Instead of insisting upon carrying into effect the Supplementary Treaty, in regard to the junks that come here, no notice whatsoever is taken of them.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS,\n\n15\n\nWhile our hopes in regard to the future trade of native vessels at Hong Kong cannot be very sanguine, we need not despair, for there exists a progressive improvement; and could a stop be put to piracy, the junks would bring more valuable cargoes than they have hitherto ventured to do.\n\n(Signed) CHARLES GUTZLAFF, Chinese Secretary.\n\nVictoria, 27th February, 1849.\n\n(True Copy.)\n\nSIR,\n\nW. CAINE, Colonial Secretary.\n\nEnclosure 5 in No.\n\nPolice Department, Victoria, March 7, 1849.\n\nI HAVE the honour to submit through you, for the information of his Excellency the Governor, returns for the year 1848, showing the number of persons apprehended by police, the results before magistrate, and making a comparison with the years 1846-47; also a return of the crimes and offences coming to the knowledge of the police, in which no persons were apprehended. The result of the first is very favourable, as it exhibits a total decrease, as compared with the year 1847, of 396 persons, or more than 20 per cent. The last return exhibits an increase of undetected crime; but this arises from the Chinese inhabitants communicating their losses more readily than previous years. Most of the offences are of a trifling description, as regards the value of property stolen. It is likewise necessary to notice that property is very insecurely protected from depredation, owing to the bad fastenings to windows and doors, and the style of building.\n\nOne of the greatest difficulties the police have to encounter arises from the reluctance the Chinese exhibit to prosecute or assist in obtaining evidence, also in not appearing as witnesses after cases are committed for trial.

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

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

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion.

Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests.

The business of the Empire seems to go on as quietly and regularly as ever, but the state of the finances continues to be the absorbing topic at head quarters. Contributions are proposed on all hands, and in places where the accounts have been left in disorder by previous officials of 1855, a minute investigation is insisted on, and deficiencies are to be made up within a stated time. -- \n\nLord Canning has justified the belief which we have been induced to form of him. He lives in days which have more significance than years in the career of many of his predecessors and all his acts are momentous.

The increase of Revenue is derived from two items alone. The first is an increase on the returns of the Excise farms, which sold in April for £12,000 more than the rate of last year. The other item arises from fact that in our accounts for the the present year we will have twelve \n\nin \n\nsea \n\n(15 \n\nregretted, either by the Customs employés, or by the Foreign Mercantile Community of Chies.

The gratulation of the merchants is much more easily understood, Abuut a year age, the Briel Government thought it to publish a Memorandum which had Buxted from Mr. Lay'e pun, and which was not only called for in the siram. atanes, but not at all coneistant with ub.

Lay, in bis Memorandum,\" maligned the Mer- has of China, and that the latter body makenly afforded him some provocatias for doing so. Ilis conilest, however, in act ing upon the procation was inexcusable; and y consequence, that, though an able, l, so far as wo know, a strictly pright man, he rotires from pustic life in China, without the redit or sympathy, which it was, at mu time, ao easily in his power to have arned for bimself.

On board stcamer, she was believed to be the Alabama; but it is just possible that she was the U. steaner 'yning which would equally well suit the des- cription. Whether the diabama is still in the neighbourhood of the Java or not, it is pretty certain that she has committed no more destruction tbere, \n\notherwise the crews of the cap- tured vessels would have been sure to turn up at some of the Dutch ports, \n\nAn amelioration of the regulations relating to the Exports of Arms from this Part, contained in the following Dotification, was published five days ago in the Government Gazelle.\" With reference to Notification No. 146, dated 28th October 1863, His Ho- the Governor has been pleas- ed to dispense with the prescribed de elaration in all cases in which Arms in reasonable quantities may be ex- ported from Ports in the Straits Set- thement to Cochin-China, Siam, the States in the Malayan Peninsula, or any of the Islands in the Easters Ar- chipelago.\" This will be esteemed a \n\nFPT \n\nThe germ of this affair has been tho quadron which arrived in Chins some time ago under the command of Lap twin Sherard Oshorne. The course which Captain Osborne should probably have parsed, was to have reported insett, on his arrival in the Yangtexs river, to the Governor General of the Two King, and to have given him delivery of the Fleet. Mr. Lay, however, is reported to have de. manded the direct recognition by Prince Kuug of Capt. Osborne, and to have de clined delivering over the vessels to aby local provincial officer. Tseng Ko-fan, to whom the Chinese Governatont desired the vessels to be given, is a man of great note, and rulos over not less than 20,000,000 of people, beeides possessing most extensive infance in the Chinese Empire. Mr. Lay, of all men, was to have been expected to have avoided the mistake of ignoring this mandarin; and people hore are surprised \n\nto the cause; and, moreover, that, of tha later number, some still lanhl out in the different parts of the city.

His Grace proposes that the Colony should pay in aid of the maintenance of 1000 men in total idleness, as far as the Colony is concerned, a sum equal to £20 per man or £20,000 per annum, to be raised to a higher rate on a future occasion.\n\nIf the Troops were withdrawn and supposing even the existing local forces were found insufficient, which I think myself unlikely, the contribution named would pay for an addition of 600 men and Officers to the local police force who could be at all times employed in the Service of the Colony. I am desirous to press this question as to the necessity or otherwise of the Troops for the security of the European Inhabitants as forcibly as I can upon the Duke of Newcastle's consideration, because upon it depends the justice or injustice of His Grace's proposal—and if my opinion is not thought conclusive, I would suggest that those of the Executive Council, the Judges, the Magistrates, the Officers of Police, and the Chamber of Commerce should also be taken upon the subject.\n\nI have not overlooked the argument used by you in the 6th paragraph of your Despatch that Hongkong cost the Imperial Exchequer no less a sum than £273,000 for its Civil Establishment during the first 14 years of its existence as a Colony, and that this large expense to the mother country would of itself be sufficient to impose on the Colony the obligation of a substantial contribution from local funds towards the cost of the Military defence of local interests. I entirely admit the justice of calling on all Colonies to contribute as far as they can towards the cost of the Military defence of local interests, but as I have before explained I do not consider Her Majesty's Troops are stationed in Hongkong for any such object: and the cost to the mother country of establishing the Colony imposes no obligation on the latter to meet a payment now which is not justly due. Besides, it must be remembered that the Colony was established not for purposes of colonization or for the advantage of future Colonists, but solely because it was considered it would be a convenience to the mother country on political and military grounds as well as a useful adjunct to the China Trade—and the value of the Colony as a political and military position has been abundantly proved by the result. I believe the possession of Hongkong with its naval and military Establishments, small although they were as a basis for assembling and organizing the last expedition alone saved the Government far more than the sum named by you as the cost to the mother country of bringing the Colony through its first years of infancy. This will be easily understood by any one who watched the proceedings of our allies who had no permanent establishments nearer than Marseilles and who made that the base of their operations and attempted to organise there their expeditionary Force, and to send it direct and complete from thence to the scene of its intended operations.\n\nThe exceptional character of Hongkong as a Watch Tower keeping guard as it were over national interests with which it has only but a slight and remote connection has been fully conceded by high Authorities who have looked into the subject.\n\nIn 1847, a Committee of the House of Commons reported:—\n\n\"Nor do we think it right that the burden of maintaining that which is rather a post for general influence and the protection of the general trade in the China Seas than a Colony in the ordinary sense should be thrown in any great degree on the Merchants or other persons who may be resident upon it.\" This opinion had reference to the cost of maintaining the Civil Government, how much more forcibly then would the reasoning have applied to the maintenance of the actual garrison itself.\n\nI find too in the \"Report of the Committee on expense of Military Defences in the Colonies\" (1860), that Hongkong although not specifically named is evidently by the context included amongst the \"Military Posts in which garrisons are maintained for objects altogether independent of and distinct from the defence of the particular countries in which they are situated,\" and the Committee were of opinion that as these garrisons \"are maintained without reference to the wants and wishes of the Inhabitants they should be dealt with exceptionally and not included in any general Scheme of Colonial contribution.\"\n\nMr. Elliot in dissenting from this opinion and contending that as regards Military Posts \"there would be no injustice in accepting a contribution from such of these places as contain prosperous communities so long as the amount falls short of the cost of the number of the Troops which they would require for their own purposes,\" proceeds when dealing specifically with the case of Hongkong to observe that he supposes the garrison there \"will always be within the limit of the amount deemed indispensable for general national objects.\"\n\nI entirely agree with Mr. Elliott that even a military Post maintained for Imperial purposes, \"may fairly be asked to contribute if able a moderate quota towards the expense of Troops which are indispensable to its internal security,\" but I have already explained (1) that in my opinion the Troops are not indispensable for the security of Hongkong, and (2) that even if this opinion should be erroneous, the quota asked is the reverse of moderate.\n\nAnd lastly I find the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Colonial Military Expenditure (1861) have included Hongkong in the class of \"Military Garrisons, Naval Stations, Convict Depôts, maintained chiefly for objects of Imperial Policy\"—\"the responsibility and main cost of the defence of which properly devolve on the Imperial Government.\"\n\nBut while for the reasons I have given I do not think Hongkong can with justice be called on for the contribution demanded, there is an expenditure borne at present by the Imperial Government which is unquestionably for Colonial purposes and which I have always intended to recommend should be assumed by the Colony as soon as ever as it is in a position to do so. I allude to the Police of the Hongkong waters and the approaches to them—a duty which as far as it is performed at all at present falls entirely on the Imperial Government. Pirates literally swarm amongst the Islands, Creeks, and Rivers in the neighbourhood and prey, to an extent which would scarcely be credited, upon the local traffic of the Colony conducted by Chinese in Chinese craft. Lately they have become so bad that most daring and successful attacks have been made even upon British and Foreign vessels within sight of the harbour. All our daily supplies are water borne and I was assured shortly before leaving the Colony that, a species of black mail was levied upon all the supplies from the mainland. The Admiral has always given what assistance he could consistently with the demands of an extensive station to meet this evil of which he has been fully aware, and after each report of Piracy a Gun-boat is generally sent to cruise about for some days—and one I observe is now stationed off Stone Cutters Island entirely for local purposes. But some more regular and systematic service is required to suppress altogether this great and growing evil, and I consider that for some years one or perhaps even two Gun boats should be kept perpetually cruising about the Macao Passage, the mouth of the Canton River, the Capsingmoon and Lyemoon Passages, and the more immediate Waters of the Colony. I would earnestly recommend therefore that as soon as ever the Colony is in a position to meet the expense, it be allowed to fit out and man one or more Gun boats for this service and that the Imperial Government be relieved altogether of the charge of the Police of the Hongkong Waters—a duty strictly Colonial, but which even in the inefficient way in which it is necessarily performed at present, is a considerable charge upon the Imperial Exchequer.\n\nI have only to add that if the Colony undertakes the preservation of internal order and security, as well as the Police of its own waters, and the Imperial Government reduce the Garrison within the limits of the amount deemed indispensable for general national objects there will exist no fair grounds that I can see for asking for any contribution from the Colony in aid of Military Expenditure in China.\n\nSir F. Rogers, Bart., &c., &c., &c.\n\nhave, &c.\n\n(Signed) HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON.\n\nP.S.—Since writing the foregoing the China Mail has come in from which I extract two items of intelligence bearing on the topics referred to in the letter. Exchange in Hongkong has in consequence of the scarcity of Mexican dollars reached 5/04, in other words Mexican dollars issued by the Imperial Government in payment of Naval, Military, Consular and Diplomatic Services at 4/2 cost in Hongkong 5/04—thus involving a loss of 21 per cent, at least 12 per cent of which would be saved by a Mint in Hongkong. I annex a notice also of a case of Piracy outside the Harbour of Hongkong and may mention that four or five such reports often appear weekly in the Police Reports.\n\n(Signed) H. G. R. R.\n\n105.",

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### Aug. 13, 1867\n\n**CANTON MARKET REPORT**\n\nFine, 30 to 40 taels, short; sales, 11,976 chests. Oolongs: Common to good cargo, 20 to 28 taels, short; fine, 30 to 33 taels, short; sales, 22,300 half-chests. Flowery Pekoes: Common to medium, no sales; fine to finest, no sales. Scented Teas: Common to medium, 18 taels, short; fine to finest, 28 to 36 taels, short; sales, 15,656 boxes.\n\nCANTON-Country Congous: Three chops have been taken at from Tls. 17 to 18, leaving a stock of 54 chops or 3,764 pkgs. Although musters of a few chops of the new crop have arrived, it would be premature as yet to express any opinion concerning them. Country Greens remain unnoticed. Canton-made Teas: Considerable settlements have taken place both in Scented Orange Pekoes and Scented Capers; prices have been somewhat irregular, but as a rule they are tending upwards. Canton Congou of new make has received rather more than usual attention, and Gunpowders have been inquired for to a moderate extent. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Tea Type | Price (Tls.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Country Congou | 17 to 18 |\n| Canton Congou (new make) | 24 to 27 |\n| Young Hyson | 22 |\n| Scented Orange Pekoe | 23 to 32 |\n| Scented Caper | 13.5 to 29 |\n| Gunpowder | 20 to 27 |\n\nElls and Lastings show a slight improvement in price, a slight demand having arisen for these goods; Long Ells continue very scarce. Metals: Lead continues firm, as a Canton demand still continues; other metals remain much as before reported. Coals continue firm; a cargo of 1,100 tons Bristol Channel Coal has been sold at 16 dols. per ton ex ship.\n\n**SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT**\n\nThe market has somewhat improved; the arrival of the steamer from Tientsin having given an impetus to several articles-any improvement in that market acts favourably on prices here. Grey Shirtings are in fair demand, and holders not forcing sales, prices are steady at quotations; best Eagles 8 lbs. 4 oz. tls. 2.00. T-Cloths: A little lower for inferior makes, but best goods still wanted; of these there are but few. White Shirtings are quite neglected; Drills in better inquiry and prices rather firmer. Woollens: Long Ells. 7.95 for H.H. assorted, and 7.20 for C.P.II.; Scarlet do not maintain their value of a fortnight since. Camlets: A few sales of favourite colours are reported at fair prices, but ordinary assortments continue very dull of sale. Spanish Stripes: 1.H. have been sold at 65 cents per yard; the demand is not active, and in other woollens there is no new feature. Metals: There is little change to note; buyers have fairly supplied themselves; stocks have not been increased, and prices remain about the same; Nail Rod, for best brands, tls. 2.50 to 2.55 per picul. Coals: Stocks have been increased by the vessels named as arrived from Sydney, and the cargo of the Lady Alice from Nagasaki. Quotations: Cardiff, from ships' side, tls. 15, N. Wales, tls. 14, nominal; English, s. 14 to 15, nominal; Anthracite, tls. 13 to 13.50, nominal sales, to arrive, at tls. 13.25.\n\n**YOKOHAMA MARKET REPORT**\n\nA decided improvement is noticeable in Grey Shirtings and Cotton Yarn, and a good business, both on the spot and to arrive, has been done in both staples at a slight advance on our last quotations. Stocks of Yarn are very light. We have to notice a contract just concluded for 156 bales, to be delivered in six weeks, at the following rates:-\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 16 to 24 | $3.68 |\n| 28 to 32 | $3.70 |\n| 38 to 42 | $3.78 |\n\nA fair inquiry has commenced for Chintzes and other light summer goods, and it is worth notice that, in consequence of rumours that the French contracts for Black Cloth will be annulled, this article is again saleable, and a slight demand has sprung up. Most other Woollens continued quite inactive, a forced sale of Camlets S.S at $15.50 being the only transaction calling for remark. In Metals, more business is doing; a demand existing for hoop and Nail Rod Iron and bead, and some improvement in prices is apparent.\n\n## CHINA EXPORTS\n\n### TEA\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nThe new season has been opened by the arrival of about 700 piculs of medium and good medium teas, the bulk of which was bought to complete the cargo of the Benefactress for New York, at an unnecessarily high figure: say from 27.50 to 30 dollars. The quality of this first sample is not satisfactory, but considerable arrivals are now daily expected, when we shall have fair opportunities of judging of the character of the new crop. The remaining stock of last season's tea is about 2,000 piculs, and quite unsaleable. We give no quotations, therefore, for any but the kinds at which, as we have stated, business has been done.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nBlack.--A small inquiry has sprung up during the past few days for the new Ningchows and Hohows, and as much as Tls. 24.0.0 has been paid for a chop of each kind. Settlements have been light, but a very large amount of reshipments have taken place. The rates paid for the finest Teas are about equivalent to those ruling at the opening of last season, but fair and medium are obtainable at somewhat easier prices. \n| Category | Quantity (Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 3,700 |\n| Reshipments on owners' account | 68,400 |\n| Stock | 26,500 |\n\nQuotations.-Hobow, fine to finest, 32 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Congou, common, 23 to 28 tls. per pcl.; Ningchow, fair to finest, 29 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Pouchong, 29 tls. per pcl. Green. Only two chops of common Tea have been settled during the fortnight at Tls. 23.5.0, and the season is nearly closed. \n| Category | Quantity (Half-Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 415 |\n| Stock | 5,000 |\n\n#### HANKOW\n\nThe business of the fortnight has been exceptionally large, and shipments continue on an enormous scale. Two settlements of finest Teas have been made at full rates, while medium to fine have advanced in value early Tls. 2.0.0. At the same time sales have been somewhat irregular. Quotations were-Oopacks and Congou-kais, medium to good, Tls. 24.0.0 to 29.5.0; finest, Tls. 30.0.0 to 31.5.0 Oonams, fair to fine, Tls. 19.0.0 to 24.5.0. \n| Category | Quantity |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 11,591,467 lbs. |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1866 | 7,414,926 lbs. |\n| Increase, 1867 | 4,176,541 lbs. |\n| Stocks | 29,000 chests |\n\n#### KIIKIANG\n\nBlack Teas: About 25,000 packages are to hand. With the exception of the purchase of two small chops at tls. 26.0.0 nothing was done on the market till the 11th, when six full chops of finest Ningchows found buyers at tls. 25.5.0 to 28.0.0 per picul, and since that date little has been doing. \n| Category | Quantity (Packages) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 15,097 |\n| Export for the same months of 1866 | 17,106 |\n| Decrease, 1867 | 2,009 |\n| Stock | 30 chops |\n\n#### FOOCNOW\n\nCongou: The price for the finer descriptions has continued firmly supported during the past fortnight; the rates for the commoner grades, which were slightly easier after the departure of the last mail, have advanced to about the former scale, in consequence of the demand for Australia. Souchong: The teas, being generally of good quality, have been freely taken for shipment to the United Kingdom; a large proportion of this description is more or less \"tarry.\" Oolongs: Full prices have been paid for these kinds, but rates are now slightly easier; the demand for America has not yet commenced. Scented Teas: Those at first offered were deficient in scent, the flowers being very backward; the teas have in many instances, however, commanded full prices; those now coming forward are better scented. \n| Tea Type | Sales (Chests) | Price (Taels) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Congou: Dust and broken leaf kinds | ... | 8 to 9, short |\n| Congou: Ordinary common | ... | 10 to 14, short |\n| Congou: Light flavoury | ... | 19 to 24, short |\n| Congou: Good flavoury to medium Kysow kinds | ... | 25 to 32, short |\n| Congou: Fine Kysow kinds | ... | 32 to 40, short |\n| Congou | 31,326 | ... |\n\n### SILK\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nBusiness has, of course, been on a very small scale during the fortnight. The exhaustion of our stock is sufficient to account for this, even with the general suspension of home orders, consequent on the fear of war and uncertainty regarding the new European crop. Stocks do not exceed 250 piculs, chiefly of mixed, low kinds.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nDuring the past fortnight considerable transactions have taken place at higher rates, and the settlements are estimated at fully 4,000 bales: making a total of 5,700 bales since the 1st June. The demand has been chiefly for chops and good silks, and lower grades would have been bought at comparatively cheaper rates.\n\n#### CANTON\n\nAfter the arrival of the English mail with rumours that the total yield of the Continental crop would be much smaller than that of last year a good demand for fine silk sprung up. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Silk Type | Price (Dols.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Loongkong, No. 1 | 560 to 566 |\n| Loongkong, No. 2 | 545 to 550 |\n| Kowkong | 500 to 510 |\n| Rec'd Cumchuck | 595 to 600 |\n\n## SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n### ARRIVALS\n\n| Port | Ship | Origin | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hong Kong | Helen | Newcastle | June 16 |\n| Hong Kong | Princess | Cardiff | 23 |\n| Hong Kong | Stuart Wortley | Clyde (via Singapore) | 27 |\n| Hong Kong | Tai-wang (steamer) | ... | 21 |\n\n### DEPARTURES\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hankow | Challenger | London | June 17 |\n| Hankow | Ada | London | 19 |\n| Shanghai | Gossamer | London | 18 |\n| Shanghai | Whinfell | London | 21 |\n| Foochow | Flying Spur | London | 9 |\n| Foochow | Black Prince | London | 10 |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | Ajax (str.) | London | 27 |\n\n## VESSELS LOADING\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | Havelock | New York |\n| Shanghai | Isles of the South | London |\n| Shanghai | Elmstone | London |\n| Foochow | Chusan | London |\n\n## FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS\n\n| Port | Route | Freight Rate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Yokohama | To New York | £2 10s. to £3 |\n| Shanghai | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Foochow | To London | £3 10s. per ton |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | To London | 43s. per ton |\n\n## MISCELLANEOUS\n\nThe P.M.S.S.

        "content_text": "THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nIs not a great deal of the work in Siam caused by the doctrine of extra-territorial jurisdiction applying to the inhabitants of British Burmah? Yes, and to British India; I would not separate British Burmah exclusively.\n\nThere is a difficulty in following criminals from British Burmah, is there not, to Siam; do not cases occasionally occur of the escape of criminals into Siam?--I have not heard of any particular case of that kind.\n\nDo you think that work of that kind could be decreased; it has been stated here that there has been a somewhat extravagant interpretation of this doctrine in the case of the inhabitants of British Burmah?--Well, it would be a very great comfort if the work of looking after these men could be taken away from the consul altogether, because it is a terrible responsibility having to give an opinion about cases which happen hundreds of miles away from you, and of which you cannot get any very satisfactory evidence. I do not see how we are to avoid doing it with our Treaty.\n\nThe officers of the consulate are occasionally sent great distances up country, are they not, in these cases?--No, they were not in my time; I have never known of an officer being sent beyond 60 miles about a case.\n\nBut the labour involved in these cases to the consulate is very considerable?--Very considerable, and the anxiety still greater.\n\nDo you know whether it was the custom of other Powers for their consuls to act as agents there?--In some cases the consuls were merchant consuls, trading consuls, and in that case they might of course be agents for anything; the Lloyd's agent in Siam was a merchant.\n\nViscount ENFIELD: Is the cost of living in Siam very great?--It is great as compared with England, because there are certain luxuries which a man must have in a climate of that sort; I mean to say that whereas a young man in England can live very well for £150, out in Siam it is impossible for a student interpreter to live decently on the pay that is given to him.\n\nMR. HARPER in his evidence before the Committee said that H.M. Consuls often acted as agent for Lloyd's, and that the commissions paid on wrecks were at times valuable, he might instance the case £3,000 paid on one ship at Batavia.\n\nCHINA SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY (LIMITED).\n\nThe second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held on the 13th inst.; Mr. JOHN PENDER, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. T. Fuller) read the notice convening the meeting, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were then confirmed; the report of the directors, given in our last issue, was taken as read.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872.]\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that since the opening of the line it had worked in every way satisfactorily; there had been one or two interruptions, but of a slight character. In regard to one which occurred at Saigon in shallow water, they had the satisfaction, in repairing the cable, that it was as perfect as on the day it had been laid down.\n\nIt was also a matter for congratulation to perceive that, even taking into account the low rate of charges that had rated for a considerable period of the company's operations, the result had been about as good as that attained by any submarine line during the first year of its working. It was proposed to pay the shareholders a dividend of 8 per cent. for the whole year.\n\nThe directors entered into arrangements with the Great Northern, by which that company was to receive interest at 5 per cent. on the capital, and the cable to be repaired by them; that all above that sum was to be equally divided; and, although the traffic had been interrupted, the amount received last year from that source was £4,752.\n\nHe thought that at some future time it would be necessary to call upon the shareholders to find the money to lay another cable in conjunction with the Great Northern, as the present cable seemed to be not quite so good as that company had expected it to be. He also believed that an alternate line was necessary to give the public the accommodation they required, and at the same time to secure themselves a fair return.\n\nThis company had put up its tariff to £6, whilst the Great Northern Company were working at £4 10s., but he thought that they were getting as full a share of the traffic as those who went to the expense of telegraphing their messages by both routes.\n\nMr. Forde, a shareholder, said he regretted that the Board had any idea of laying a cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai in conjunction with the Great Northern Company. Such a step would be much in the interests of that company, but against theirs. He must very earnestly urge on the directors the policy of amalgamating with the other companies; a low tariff was only to be obtained by amalgamation. The working expenses of this company—£16,000 on earnings of £85,000—were enormous, and the salaries paid were too high.\n\nMr. HOLMES agreed with Mr. Forde as to the Shanghai line, and he considered the £1,838 for the Agnes repairing ship was excessive, and a contract should be made for the repairs.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in reply to these remarks, said that the laying of the cable to Shanghai was merely foreshadowed, but if done, it must be in conjunction with the Great Northern in good faith, according to the bargain made. The policy of amalgamation was quite approved by the Board; but those things required time, and could not be carried out so speedily as Mr. Forde seemed to think.\n\nWith regard to the expenses, he read a statement of salaries, &c., at each port, and explained that the expenses of living were so high at the stations that the salaries of proper officers must be in proportion. The expense for repairs and maintaining cable would be reduced.\n\nThe directors had no objection to half-yearly meetings. The report was then put and carried, as also the re-election of the Baron d'Erlangen as a director, and two auditors. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.\n\nTHE JAPANESE AT MESSRS. ALLAN, RANSOME AND CO.'S.\n\nYesterday the Minister for Agriculture, with members of his suite, together with American and English employers of labour, visited the works of Messrs. Allan, Ransome, and Co., in King's-road, Chelsea, to view some newly-invented labour-saving machinery of remarkable construction and power.\n\nThe strikes of workmen in the building trades, the increased cost of production in the carpentry and joinery branches of those trades, and the difficulties caused to employers by the restrictions of Trades Unions, have each had their share in directing the attention of engineers to find the means of meeting the pressure caused by the contracted amount of available skilled labour; and the machines exhibited yesterday were in every way so perfect that it is not easy to see how hand labour will hold its own.\n\nThe first machine inspected was a portable saw frame. Any one who has seen the old saw-pits, where the \"top sawyer\" and the \"bottom sawyer\" laboured from morning to night and day after day in cutting a log into planks, would be greatly astonished to see this comparatively small machine, attended only by one man, cut up the body of a large oak into fourteen planks at once, it having twelve saws, which cut through the whole bulk of wood in something less than half an hour.\n\nA mortising machine, the invention of Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia, was set to work, and accurately and cleanly cut in a few moments mortises which would have taken a workman hours.\n\nA moulding machine, for cutting mouldings, did in a minute thirty-five feet of work, which would have taken a skilled workman many hours, and this work could apparently be done by a boy.\n\nIn what was called a \"general joining machine\" there was apparently no limit to the work to be done, the one machine cutting mortises, shaping blocks, planking, carving out banisters, and turning in a few minutes a plain block of wood into a perfectly carved piece of work.\n\nAnother machine, exceedingly small and unpretentious, was shown to be capable of planing any sort of work, oval or flat, and at the same time a revolving chisel cut mortises with celerity and accuracy.\n\nA very fine piece of machinery is one which cuts raised or recessed panels, in other words, which can cut the sunk or raised ornamental work in wood now so highly prized and so dearly paid for, as the best and most skilled.\n\nBy another machine, an American invention, but improved by the Messrs. Ransome, a door can be finished—that is, cleanly sand-papered on both sides—in three minutes.\n\nThe planing and trying-up of work, or what would be properly called the trueing \"up, by which is meant the nice work of making blocks of wood exactly like one another, in order to hand labour, is, by one of Ransome's machines, done at once and perfectly in a few minutes, all the blocks, of whatever size, being placed together and turned out as like as peas, and mathematically correct in every respect.\n\nA band saw machine, by which both fine and rough work was cut in all sorts of shapes, and a saw cutting machine, with F. Ransome's patent stone, were among the other works shown.\n\nWith one or two of these machines an employer with a man and a boy as staff, could turn out as much work as twenty or thirty men, and never be troubled about the nine hours, eight hours, or any other movement.\n\nThe remarkable fact about these machines is that they are not limited to the pattern, shape, or character of wood, for the knives are changed in a few minutes, and whatever the class of work required, it can be done at once.\n\nThe inspection lasted for several hours, and all the visitors expressed themselves delighted with these new machines, some of which are to go to the Vienna Exhibition.\n\nNAVAL AND MILITARY.\n\nThe screw steamer Scotland, Captain James, sailed from Queenstown on the 12th inst. for Singapore and Hong Kong, via the Suez Canal.\n\nThe following are the details of the officers and men who proceed in the Scotland to strengthen the garrisons in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong:-To Singapore, Captain Battye, Lieutenant Armstrong, and 79 men of the 10th regiment and 10 men of the Royal Artillery.\n\nTo Hong Kong, Captain Stone, with 294 men and 19 women and children of the 80th Regiment; an armourer sergeant, a sergeant, and 10 men of the Royal Artillery: and 3 men of the Royal Engineers.\n\nMajor Watson, of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, Captain Hewson, 73rd Foot, and Lieutenant Chevera, of the 73rd Foot, proceed to Hong Kong on duty with the draft of the 80th Regiment, and will afterwards return to Ceylon.\n\nThe medical officer in charge of the troops is Staff Surgeon O'Halloran, who will, after their arrival at their respective stations, proceed to Penang.\n\nThe Mosquito, composite gunboat, 400 tons, and 360-horse power, which was commissioned at Devonport on the 30th ult., for service on the China station, by Lieutenant-Commander William Henry Bond, was moved into Plymouth Sound on the 9th inst., has made the customary trial of her engines, and has embarked her supply of ammunition preparatory to sailing.\n\nLieutenant-Colonel Joseph H. F. H. Hudson, Grenadier Guards, is to be confirmed in his appointment of military secretary to General Henry Renny, in command of the forces in Ceylon.\n\nMONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.\n\nThe suspension of Messrs. Bowles Bros. and Co., noticed in our last issue, has caused the stoppage of the \"Joint National Agency,\" a company formed for general financial and agency purposes in connection with the Japanese now in Europe, amongst whom we are sorry to say are the agents of the Japanese Government, who have lodged Government funds in the hands of the Company.\n\nJudging from the following circular, it seems that the company is utterly crushed, and will be dissolved.\n\n446, Strand, London, 9th November, 1872.\n\nSIR.—With the greatest regret, and by order of the Board of Directors, I have to inform you that in consequence of the sudden and unexpected suspension of payment of one of the bankers of this company, the firm of Messrs. Bowles Brothers and Co., this company has also found it necessary to suspend payment.\n\nIn order at once to secure the assets of the company its immediate winding up has been determined upon, and with this view an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders will be held here at two o'clock in the afternoon, on Tuesday week, the 19th inst., when a resolution will be submitted to the effect that it has been proved to the satisfaction of the company that it cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advisable to wind up the same.\n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nWALTER H. FARRA, Secretary.\n\nFollowing closely on the failure of Joshua, of Singapore, we have telegrams announcing the stoppage of Chang \"Tee, Watseng and Co., and Absoon and Co., both Chinese firms of importance in the Straits and Saigon trade, with heavy liabilities to European firms.\n\nThe mail also brings advices of the failure and arrest for fraud of A. Velge, a commission merchant at Singapore, by which the banks will also lose.\n\nMessrs. Joshua Brothers and Co., of Great Winchester-street, desire it to be stated that their firms, together with the firms of Joshua Brothers, Melbourne, and Joshua Brothers, Mauritius, are in no way related to or connected with the firm of Joshua Brothers, of Singapore, whose suspension has been announced.\n\nCorrespondence from Shanghai by the last two mails has been very gloomy, and failures are expected before the end of the year, notwithstanding the assistance given here to the Silk market by a combination.\n\nBar Silver has again declined, and the nearest quotation we can give is 59d. per oz., at which rate some small parcels have been sold; the market is weak, and a further slight reduction may be looked for.\n\nThe Bank of Holland has decided to buy no more silver at any price. It has hitherto bought silver at 1.104.65 per Dutch pound, and has not varied the price for years.\n\nBANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES.\n\nTELEGRAPH COMPANIES.\n\n£10\n\nChartered Bank Ind., Aust., and China\n\nAll\n\n59 to 54\n\n13 to 15\n\nAll\n\n23 to 25\n\n10\n\n1 to 15\n\n58 to 60\n\nAll\n\nJOINT STOCK BANKS.\n\n£10\n\nAgra Bank\n\n25\n\nBank of Egypt\n\n20\n\n45\n\nChartered Merc. of India and China\n\n20\n\nCity Bank\n\n+14\n\n1.\n\n100\n\nColonial Bank\n\n500fr.\n\nComptoir D'Escompte of Paris...\n\n2291\n\n100\n\nHong Kong and Shanghai Bank\n\n[Imperial Bank\n\n20\n\n28 to 29\n\n50\n\nLondon and County\n\n20\n\n69 to 58\n\n50\n\nLondon Joint Stock\n\n15\n\n48 to 47\n\n100\n\nLondon and Westminster\n\n20\n\n67 to 62\n\nOriental Bank Corporation\n\nAll\n\n$1 to 42\n\n50\n\nUnion of London...\n\n43 to 44\n\n10\n\nBritish Indian Extension\n\nAll\n\n34 to 144\n\n13\n\nBritish Australian...\n\nAn\n\nA to 99\n\n30\n\nChina Submarine.\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nEastern Telegraph Company\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nGreat Northern\n\nAll\n\n10 to 114\n\n25\n\nIndo-European\n\nAll\n\n14 to 30\n\n30\n\nMediterranean Extension\n\nAll\n\n£ to 7\n\n12\n\nTelegraph Construction Company\n\n£24 to 23\n\n60\n\nIndiarubr.,Gutta Percha &Tel.

Shepard, Harrison, and Rehden's Circular says--\n\nDuring the past few days buying, except at auction without reserve (sales of China or Indian growth taking place daily), has been all but suspended, owing to the disturbance in the money market and the advance in the Bank rate, which is now 7 per cent.; arrivals have also been on an exceedingly large scale; buyers therefore act with extreme caution.\n\nAdvices from China, as to ultimate total shipments, state, \"all will depend on prices paid for common Congou;\" as regards this market, there is no encouragement to ship such here; demand has been \"off\" this class for some time, and late imports of what may be fairly classed as \"good common\" are not saleable over 9d.\n\nThe export trade to all quarters has been inactive.\n\nThe public sales of China have comprised 16,117 packages, of which week amount to 8,211,346 lbs., against 3,161,038 lbs. last year.\n\n14,449 packages have been sold without reserve.\n\nThe deliveries for the sales have been...\n\nBlack-Red leaf: No change as to prices for siftings and leafy; good flavoury kinds at 1s. to 1s 1d. have been scarce, but a better selection is offering from ships now discharging; Souchong and Kaisow kinds at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 5d. offer good value; medium to fine at 1s. 6d. to 2s. are hard of sale; finest sells in small lots at 2s. 1d. to 2s. 6d. per lb.\n\nPakling kinds: No demand.\n\nTayshau leaf: Fall supplies are in course of landing; a few sales at 10d. to 1s, for good common and fair.\n\nBlack leaf: In low and ordinary common there have been occasional small sales at 6d. to 7½d.; fair to good common we quote at 8d. to 10d. per lb., and difficult of sale; preferable kinds 1s. 7d, we make rather lower; fine and finest 1s. 8d. to 2s. 2d., limited at 1s. to 1s. 2d. are scarce; medium to good medium at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. are...\n\nSouchong: Few transactions at no alteration in value.\n\nScented Tea, Canton kinds--Caper: There has been fair trade doing, as late good common to fair 10d. to 1s., good to medium 1s. 1d. to 1s. 4d, fine imports are of desirable quality, many parcels being strong scented; 1s. 5d. to 1s. 8d., finest 1s. 9d. to 2s. per lb.\n\nScented Orange Pekoe: Limited supplies, but sufficient for present wants, Foochow growth being in full supply, and selling at a moderate scale of prices.\n\nGreen Large sales by auction without reserve; the imports, ex Glenroy and Ajax, over 800,000 lbs., offering a varied selection, chiefly of Peling Suey leaf, which has sold at an average 1d. per lb. decline, No. 1 Gunpowder selling down to 2s. 11d., other grades in proportion.\n\nSlogane and Fychow leaf, with the comparatively small supply, has been selling at extreme rates.\n\nCanton and Japan kinds: No change.\n\nSILK.\n\nMessrs. Kilburn, Kershaw, and Co. report as follows:--\n\nThe slight improvement in demand which had shown itself recently has been checked by the movements of the money market, and buyers generally seen disposed to wait; there is no change in quotations.",

I propose also to provide a small room for the Electrograph, which will be referred to further in connexion with observations of atmospheric electricity. I have added, at Mr. BOWDLER's suggestion, an upper storey, to be appropriated as quarters for the Director. I recommend that the building be constructed of red bricks, the walls of the lower storey being made 1 ft. 9 in. thick, and those of the upper storey 1 ft. 2 in. thick.\n\nSo lately as last February, Dr. WARREN DE LA RUE furnished the Colonial Office with a list of the instruments necessary for these purposes in a first-class meteorological observatory. The list comprises a Barograph, a Thermograph, an Anemograph, a Rain-gauge, a Sunshine Recorder, and an Electrograph; together costing about £397.\n\nOf these, the Barograph, or self-recording barometer, will be accommodated in the Magnetic Room in the basement, to be presently described.\n\nFor the Thermograph—i.e., self-registering (photographic) dry and wet bulb thermometers—a special hut and shed will have to be put up in the grounds of the observatory. This may, however, be left until the instruments arrive.\n\nIn laying out the building on the ground, it will be important to obtain accurate orientation, for which purpose I suggest that Polaris be observed with a theodolite at one of its culminations, and a meridian line carefully marked at the observation. The transit-room will need vertical shutters about two feet wide, opening in the north and south walls from a height of four feet above the floor and extending to the roof; also roof-doors of the same width, so that there may be a clear view of the meridian from the south to the north horizon.\n\nThe rooms should be 15 feet high, from floor to ceiling, and the roof be made as flat as possible, in order that it may be utilised for some of the meteorological apparatus.\n\nEspecial care must be given to protection of the building against lightning, for which purpose one conductor should be placed at each angle of the main block, and the points carried at least eight feet above the parapet, the earth ends being sunk below ground until permanently damp soil is reached.\n\nPiers, isolated from contact with the surrounding soil or any parts of the building, will be needed for the transit-instrument, the electrograph, the collimator, and each of the two clocks. These should be built of red bricks, in cement, and be carried down to firm ground, at a depth of not less than four feet in any case, there resting on good foundations of cement concrete.\n\nA building on a plan somewhat as shown in the accompanying tracing will probably answer well for the present purposes of the Observatory. If at a future time it should be decided to increase the equipment, the east and west wings could be extended so as to accommodate a Photoheliograph for the record of sun-spots, as suggested by His Excellency the Governor, and an Equatorial telescope.\n\nIt would be necessary, in this case, to raise the equatorial sufficiently high to obviate any serious interruption of the sky view by the upper storey of the main block; and, for architectural symmetry, the photoheliograph might be similarly raised.\n\nA building of the kind above suggested would probably cost, with piers, &c., about $10,500, to which $500 must be added for furniture and fitments. A small additional building, to contain quarters for a caretaker, servant and coolies, with a store, workshop, kitchen and other offices, and connected with the main edifice by a covered way, would cost say $2,400 more.\n\nII. Meteorology.\n\nThe proposal to establish a meteorological branch of the observatory, under skilled management and supplied with the best modern apparatus, commands approval for two reasons.\n\nIn the first place, as Dr. DE LA RUE has indicated, such an institution will furnish the science with valuable and much-needed data, from a locality well suited for the observation and collection of facts appertaining to certain phenomena of special interest.\n\nSecondly, it cannot fail to have a direct and practical value, as being the means of affording security, by its predictions and weather warnings, to life and property, in seas navigated by vast numbers of native and foreign vessels, but subject during four or five months of the year to rotatory storms of appalling violence and danger.\n\nThe Anemograph, or self-recording Anemometer, is an instrument the best and newest forms of which are constructed to register continuously the direction, pressure and velocity of the wind. A small turret, to carry the vane, &c., for the instrument, of whatever pattern, may be erected centrally over the front verandah roof of the main building, and the spindle be carried through the roof to the registering apparatus placed in a small chamber or compartment on the upper verandah, as shown in the drawing.\n\nThe Rain-gauge, to judge from the high price (£60) set against it in the list, is doubtless a self-recording instrument, or pluviograph.\n\nThe Sunshine Recorder is a contrivance for marking and measuring the duration of sunshine. The instrument in use at Greenwich consists of a solid glass ball four inches in diameter, supported in a hollow hemispherical bowl of three inches' radius.\n\nThe Electrograph of Dr. DE LA RUE's list, though not described, is doubtless a THOMSON'S Quadrant Electrometer, fitted for photographic self-registration. I have provided a small room for it on the ground floor of the main building, the window of which can be darkened to the extent required.\n\nThe whole of the above are autographic instruments, and need only occasional attention, for changing the record-sheets, pointing the pencils, &c.\n\nThe second branch of work appertaining to the Meteorological Department will be the observation and collection, as far as possible, of facts and phenomena relating to typhoons, both for the protection of marine interests and for the purpose of contributing bit by bit to our knowledge of a subject at present but little understood.\n\nFor weather warnings, the telegraphic cables connecting this port with others on the coast, and with Manila, will furnish most valuable aid. Past observations seem to show that the typhoons which sweep the Southern China sea for the most part originate in a region the centre of which is situated about a thousand miles (in round numbers) to the south and east of the Philippines.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

The rooms should be 15 feet high, from floor to ceiling, and the roof be made as flat as possible, in order that it may be utilised for some of the meteorological apparatus.

The collimator may be placed on a brick pier about fifteen feet to the north of the transit-room, a small room or hut six or seven feet square being built over it, for protection from the weather. It should be approximately horizontal with respect to the transit-instrument.\n\nPiers, isolated from contact with the surrounding soil or any parts of the building, will be needed for the transit-instrument, the electrograph, the collimator, and each of the two clocks. These should be built of red bricks, in cement, and be carried down to firm ground, at a depth of not less than four feet in any case, there resting on good foundations of cement concrete. The largest will be those for the transit-instrument and electrograph, which may measure about six feet by three feet. For the clocks the dimensions will be very much smaller. All of them had better be left unfinished at the floor-level until the instruments and clocks arrive.\n\nA building on a plan somewhat as shown in the accompanying tracing will probably answer as well as any for the present purposes of the Observatory. Lest it be thought that the space provided is somewhat more liberal than is necessary, it may be well to bear in mind the great heat of the summer weather, as well as the facts that ample room will be needed for presses for stores, stationery, records, &c., and that the requirements as to space in an establishment of this kind are certain to grow year by year. If at a future time it should be decided to increase the equipment, the east and west wings could be extended so as to accommodate a Photoheliograph for the record of sun-spots, as suggested by His Excellency the Governor, and an Equatorial telescope. It would be necessary, in this case, to raise the equatorial sufficiently high to obviate any serious interruption of the sky view by the upper storey of the main block; and, for architectural symmetry, the photoheliograph might be similarly raised. But, if a Siderostat in connexion with a fixed telescope should be preferred for gazing purposes to an equatorially mounted instrument, no such elevation would be needed. A building of the kind above suggested would probably cost, with piers, &c., about $10,500, to which $500 must be added for furniture and fitments. A small additional building, to contain quarters for a caretaker, servant and coolies, with a store, workshop, kitchen and other offices, and connected with the main edifice by a covered way, would cost say $2,400 more. Both of them may be at once designed in detail, and proceeded with, should the scheme here proposed receive the approval of the Government.\n\nII-Meteorology\n\nThe proposal to establish a meteorological branch of the observatory, under skilled management and supplied with the best modern apparatus, commands approval for two reasons. In the first place, as Dr. DE LA RUE has indicated, such an institution will furnish the science with valuable and much needed data, from a locality well suited for the observation and collection of facts appertaining to certain phenomena of special interest. Secondly, it cannot fail to have a direct and practical value, as being the means of affording security, by its predictions and weather warnings, to life and property, in seas navigated by vast numbers of native and foreign vessels, but subject during four or five months of the year to rotatory storms of appalling violence and danger.\n\nIts operations, like its purpose, will be twofold. There will be, to begin with, the systematic observation and record of the ordinary phenomena of pressure, temperature, humidity, rain, sunshine,\n\n(9)\n\nwind and hydrometeors, such as are usual in observatories of the first order; together also with observations of atmospheric electricity.\n\nSo lately as last February, Dr. WARREN DE LA RUE furnished the Colonial Office with a list of the instruments necessary for these purposes in a first-class meteorological observatory. The list comprises a Barograph, a Thermograph, an Anemograph, a Rain-gauge, a Sunshine Recorder, and an Electrograph; together costing about £397.\n\nOf these, the Barograph, or self-recording barometer, will be accommodated in the Magnetic basement, to be presently described.\n\nFor the Thermograph-i.e., self-registering (photographic) dry and wet bulb thermometers-a special hut and shed will have to be put up in the grounds of the observatory. This may, however, be left until the instruments arrive. The Thermograph, it will be observed, does away with the necessity for maximum and minimum thermometers, as the changes of temperature are recorded unceasingly.\n\nThe Anemograph, or self-recording Anemometer, is an instrument the best and newest forms of which are constructed to register continuously the direction, pressure and velocity of the wind. We are not told by Dr. DE LA RUE what kind will be sent. A small turret, to carry the vane, &c., for the instrument, of whatever pattern, may be erected centrally over the front verandah roof of the main building, and the spindle be carried through the roof to the registering apparatus placed in a small chamber or compartment on the upper verandah, as shown in the drawing. The turret must be provided with a lightning conductor.\n\nThe Rain-gauge, to judge from the high price (£60) set against it in the list, is doubtless a self-recording instrument, or pluviograph. At Greenwich, an Oster's Anemometer and Rain-gauge form a joint apparatus, by which wind and rain are registered on the same sheet of paper. This instrument needs no special provision beforehand.\n\nThe Sunshine Recorder is a contrivance for marking and measuring the duration of sunshine. The instrument in use at Greenwich consists of a solid glass ball four inches in diameter, supported in a hollow hemispherical bowl of three inches' radius, the two surfaces being separated from one another by a space of an inch. The rim of the bowl is marked like a sundial, and the interior surface is lined with a strip of prepared mill-board. Whenever the sun shines out, its rays, brought to a focus by the glass ball, burn a mark on this strip. The intervals and interruptions of sunshine are thus recorded. This instrument may be set up on the roof of the main building, for which purpose no special preparations are needed.\n\nThe Electrograph of Dr. DE LA RUE's list, though not described, is doubtless a THOMSON'S Quadrant Electrometer, fitted for photographic self-registration. It has been shown that I have provided a small room for it on the ground floor of the main building, the window of which can be darkened to the extent required. The collector for this instrument may be attached to a small mast on the roof, above the room; and the wire or rod be carried thence to the instrument, the pier for which should be capped with a slate or marble slab.\n\nThe whole of the above, it will be noticed, are autographic instruments, and need only occasional attention, for changing the record-sheets, pointing the pencils, &c. The labour of observation is thus reduced to a minimum.\n\nThe second branch of work appertaining to the Meteorological Department will be the observation and collection as far as possible of facts and phenomena relating to typhoons, both for the protection of marine interests and for the purpose of contributing bit by bit to our knowledge of a subject at present but little understood. It will include also the giving attention to the phenomena of the monsoons.\n\nFor weather warnings, the telegraphic cables connecting this port with others on the coast, and with Manila, will furnish most valuable aid. The Manila cable will be of special service in this respect. Past observations seem to show that the typhoons which sweep the Southern China sea for the most part originate in a region the centre of which is situated about a thousand miles (in round numbers) to the south and east of the Philippines. Of those which take Luzon in their course, some make for Hainan and the Gulf of Tonquin. Others pursue a more northerly direction, towards Formosa and",

The number is well illustrated and contains two valuable sketch maps of the districts surrounding Amoy and Swatow.\n\nWe regret to have to note in connection with this periodical the death of the Rev. Carstairs Douglas, M.A., LL.D., who was one of its principal promoters. He died since the issue of this number, rather suddenly, of cholera. Dr. Douglas arrived in China in 1855 and has ever since been foremost among the able representatives of the Presbyterian Church in Amoy. He was a first-class scholar, as evidenced by his \"Dictionary of the Vernacular of Amoy; London, 1873,\" and his various contributions to the China Review, Missionary Recorder, and other periodicals, but he was also an excellent practical worker, gifted with a largeness of heart and keenness of foresight so widely recognized that he was unanimously chosen President of the late Missionary Conference, although he was one of the principal partisans of Shangti as against Shin or Tien-chu.\n\nA complete Atlas of the two hemispheres. Second, revised, and improved edition. Canton, 1877. This is a very creditable product of native intelligence and industry and a good specimen of native block-printing. We have here three sheets, the first giving the two hemispheres, designed each with a diameter of two feet; the frontiers of the different countries are suitably coloured; all the principal names of countries, mountains, rivers, seas, etc., printed in bold type; and the available space filled up with brief notes on the usual subjects generally treated as introductory to geography. The accompanying two sheets give the most needful details concerning the political and topographical geography of each country seriatim. For a future edition of this for native schools specially valuable publication, we would recommend Mr. Leung Chu-shan to overhaul his system of spelling foreign names so as to make it uniform, to be more liberal in accepting popular terms such as 新金山 for Australia or 加利福尼亞 for California, which have once become generally accepted and are indispensable in speaking, and finally to bring up his accounts of European countries to the date of publication, including, for instance, the political results of the late Franco-Prussian war. The author ought also to state where this second and improved edition of his Atlas is for sale in Hongkong or Canton. The only reference we find is his private address, viz. 省沙基大街梁柱臣, Leung Chi-shan, Sha-ki Street, Canton.\n\n**Chinese Studies at Oxford**.—The Rev. Professor Dr. Legge, having in the course of last term given several lectures on Chinese Grammar, continued his course of Chinese instruction, during the term which is now ending, by treating in three consecutive public lectures the well-known Sacred Edict. Next term the exhibition of these sixteen maxims will be complete by one lecture, the subsequent lectures being devoted to Grammar.\n\nWe are pleased to learn that there are now a few students giving their attention to Chinese studies. The lectures on the Sacred Edict will be published in successive numbers of the China Review, as probably also the lectures on Grammar. Dr. Legge is now in correspondence with the Foreign and Colonial Offices regarding his proposal to send the Candidates for the Consular Service in China and Japan, as also the Candidates for the Civil Service in the Straits and in Hongkong, for a course of Chinese study, as unattached students of the University, to Oxford, in which case Dr. Legge will secure the assistance of a Pekingese native teacher.\n\n**SHORT NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS**\n\n**Chinese Studies in America**.—The chair for Chinese Language and Literature which is to be established at Yale College has been offered to Dr. S. Wells Williams, the author of the \"Middle Kingdom\" and of the two well-known Dictionaries for Cantonese and Mandarin Dialects. There is also a project to introduce Chinese lectures at Harvard University, without, however, establishing a Professorial chair. Mr. Francis P. Knight, formerly of Shanghai, and Chinese Commissioner of the Philadelphia Exhibition, proposed to President Eliot to bring from China one or two native teachers, who, he thinks, with the help of Sir Thomas Wade's textbooks would teach a young man, in the course of two years, sufficient Chinese to enable him to take a position of some usefulness upon arrival in China as a Consul or in connection with the Legation in Peking. A subscription has been opened by Mr. Knight to find the necessary funds, whilst President Eliot has promised the assistance of the Corporation in this undertaking.\n\n**COLLECTANEA BIBLIOGRAPHICA**\n\n| Publication | Issue | Title/Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Chambers's Journal | Febr., 1877 | A journey in Turkestan |\n| Leisure Hour | March, 1877 | Augustus Raymond Margary |\n| Leisure Hour | June, 1877 | The cup of gold, a Chinese story |\n| Leisure Hour | June, 1877 | Japanese (and Chinese) Music and musical instruments |\n| London & China Express | July, 1877 | A Chinese Dictionary in the Cantonese Dialect |\n| Lappincott's Magazine | June, 1877 | The Chinese at Beaver Falls |\n| The Nation | May, 1877 | A Chinese teachership at Harvard |\n| The Nation | May, 1877 | The Folklore of China |\n| The Saturday Review | May, 26, 1877 | Marks on China |\n| The Nineteenth Century | July, 1877 | A journey to China, and round the world, by Tho.

        "content_text": "## OCR Proofread Text\n\nThe brother told me that the MSS. contained nothing but religious forms, charms, and such like--the only purpose, so far as I have heard, for which the Lolos employ their writing. I now begged one of the MSS. The wife and brother of the absent perma both saw insuperable obstacles, but the T'u-ssu overruled their objections and insisted that I should have one. This MS. is now in the British Museum.\n\nThese Lolos had bigger and more irregular features than average Chinese. The colour of the skin seemed much the same, but the eyes were deeper sunk. They are divided into three tribes, known in Chinese as \"Hei,\" \"Pai,\" and \"Kan\" (Black, White, and Dry) Lolo, or I-jên, a meaningless distinction, but corresponding to a real tribal division apparently. They believe in a future state of retribution, burn the dead, worship their ancestors with the sacrifice of an ox, and have no idols. Four pieces of brown paper were said to represent the potentialities of the other world, and three sticks of bamboo their ancestors.\n\nThe Tang-tang River is an insignificant stream, but has a broad bed covered with débris from the hills, and is, like the K'o-tu River, no doubt a formidable stream in the rains. At Shih-ya-k'ou we passed the first cart I had seen since leaving Shanghae. This cart we took to be a promise of better things, for it was of such a clumsy construction, with solid wooden wheels, which were worn unevenly into oblate form, that no power of bullock could have dragged it over the roads we had passed. And, sure enough, a turn from the village brought us on to a plain, so that we had actually before us a level horizon--the first that I had set eyes on since leaving I-ch'ang. For the next 10 miles, to the first town in the Yunnan Province--Hsüan-wei Chou--our road ran over an expanse of dry red loam, with scarcely a house or tree in sight.\n\nHsüan-wei Chou is a town about which a pioneer of commerce cannot find much to say. My Chinese clerk went out as usual, armed with samples, to discover what the inhabitants paid for foreign imports, but returned to say that the only trade was in hams, and that there was no one in the place worth $200.\n\nThis plain has been almost cleared of wood, probably at the time of the rebellion, when 200,000 men are said to have been encamped here. But the lack of wood in the neighbourhood of towns is the rule in Yünnan. After the ascent from T'ang-t'ang on to the plain coal is met no more, and during the next three months which we are to spend in the Yunnan Province coal will only be once met with (at Lin-yan Fu). Nearly all the towns burn wood, which the Lolos and other inferior races bring in for sale, often having to go 5 miles from the town to find it. On the other hand, in Kuei-chou and Ssu-ch'uan, coal is found everywhere.\n\nEveryone one meets is armed here. Between Hsüan-wei Chou and Chau-i Chou we met a man carrying a weapon I had never seen before, but which I found afterwards to be very common all over the Yunnan Province. It is a rod of iron about 3 feet long, with a sword handle at one end, and at the other a bar at right angles to the rod about 5 inches long, pointed and sharpened on the inner edge. Asked what it was for and how used, the man replied for men or wild beasts it would give a stab by striking or a cut by pulling. This weapon is called `kou-lien` (hook).\n\nThere is plenty of food for the gun in this part, and probably for the rifle. The lakes are covered with water-fowl, and the country infested by an enormous bird with black head, black tips to feathers, and slate-coloured body called `ching-chuang` or `huo` by the Chinese, probably a kind of crane. I noticed a Proclamation by the Magistrate of Ma-lung Chou offering a reward of 2 dollars each for wild dogs, whatever that may mean, and other beasts who attack children and dig up dead bodies.\n\nAt Ma-lung our road unites with the main western road which runs across China from Hankow to Burmah. This part of it has been described by several travellers, and need not detain us.\n\nAt Yang-lin I noticed for the first time a curious custom that appears widely spread over Western China. Wherever there is an overhanging ledge of rock the coolies brought bits of wood and twigs of trees to prop it up. Under some of these ledges there are hundreds of such diminutive supports; the only explanation I could get was that if they helped the rock it would help them in return, and save them from aching feet and back.\n\nOn the 3rd December we reached Yünnan Fu, the capital of the province, a bright and clean city for China, evidently containing a well-to-do population. The straight broad streets, new p'ai-fangs blazing in gorgeous colours, and gaily dressed women, who affect light blue gowns with bright red linings to the sleeves, and a red band round the ankle, set off by the magnificent clear bright weather, were very striking after the narrow streets and sombre blue clothing of Ssu-ch'uan.\n\nAlthough the city has an altitude of 6,420 feet fever is not unknown, and several of our party suffered badly. The north of Yunnan has a climate probably as suited to Europeans as any in this part of the world. It should be noted that Yunnan Fu is situated on a lake which is at the bottom of a gentle but somewhat extensive depression. I was told that formerly there was no outlet for the water of this basin, and that only in the thirteenth century was the canal cut which now carries the water from the south-west side of the lake into a stream that flows north to the Yang-tzu, and is shown on Mr. Baber's chart west of Anning-chou.\n\nIt is impossible to convey a clear idea of the commercial capabilities of this city without giving a general sketch of the configuration of the great plateau on which it stands, and thus anticipating the latter portions of this Report. This plateau, if so it may be called, for it is everywhere broken by hills and cut through by rivers, and in some parts even traversed by mountain ranges, is on the eastern slope from the Himalayas to the China Sea, and is nearly conterminous with the Chinese Provinces of Yunnan and Kuei-chou. To show the nature of the ground, I cannot do better than make a circuit of the routes that lead to Yunnan Fu. Starting with the road we have followed, reference to Part I of this Report will show that navigation from the Yang-tzu ended at Yung-ning Hsien, 1,060 feet above the sea, and that in two stages the road reached an elevation of 4,340 feet, and touched 7,770 feet before Yünnan Fu was reached. Next to the west comes the route by Chao-t'ong Fu; here navigation from the Yang-tzu ceases before Lao-wa-t'an (Baber, 1,140) is reached; and the route passes Chao-t'ong Fu (Baber, 6,580) and Tung-ch'uan Fu (Baber, 7,190). West of this comes the neck of high land that connects the plateau with the Thibetan uplands traversed by the Hui-li Chou (Baber, 6,000) route, and by the Wei-hsi route. (See Gill's \"River of Golden Sand,\" vol. ii, p. 255.)\n\nFrom Bhamo (430), the terminus of the navigation of the Irrawaddy, the great Burmese trade route runs through Têng-vueh Chou (5,540), Yung-ch'ang Fu (5,880), and Ta-li Fu (6,550). The next route is that by the valley of the Shui-li, past Lung-ling Chou, by which there is said to have been once a considerable traffic, killed since the rebellion. Next comes the caravan route by way of the valley of the Mekong, to Ssu-mao (4,480), and on to Yunnan Fu by an extraordinarily difficult road (see Sketch 3). The next route is that by the Red River, through Lao-kai and Mêng-tzu Hsien. Mêng-tzu is on the southern edge of the plateau, with an elevation of 4,530 feet, from which to Lao-kai there must be a descent of something like 3,500 feet. Next comes the Canton West River, by Po-sé (530)--two days above which the navigation comes to an end--to Kuang-nan Fu (4,310). To the east again is the Kwang-si land route, which passes through Ch'ing-yuan Fu (490), and Tu-shan Chou (3,460), to Kuei-yang Fu, the capital of the Kuei-chou Province. Next comes the great western road from Hankow, traversed by Margary, which follows the Tung-ting Lake and the Yuan River to Chên-yuan Fu (altitude not known), where navigation ceases. From Chên-yuan Fu the traffic is by caravan to Kuei-yang Fu (3,530). Lastly, there is the route between Ssu-ch'uan and Kuei-yang Fu, by a tributary of the Yang-tzu to Chi-chiang Hsien (880), where navigation ceases, through Tung-tzu Hsien (3,020) to Kuei-yang Fu.\n\nIt appears, then, that Yunnan and Western Kuei-chou are very nearly conterminous.\n\n[496]\n405",

        "content_text": "# \nthat \"its general appearance, as viewed from the sea, is inviting, there being a pleasant variety of hill and dale, and on the northern and eastern sides much cleared land, cultivation rising probably to the level of 2,000 feet. Above this, all appears to be buried in thick forests of pines and other northern trees, even to the highest peak, Mount Auckland, 6,558 feet above the level of the sea.\" As I saw it, however, 3 miles out to sea, and just before sunrise, the appearance of the great island was weird and gloomy in the extreme, a repellent contrast to the smiling archipelago I had left the night before. There among the islets is indeed \"a pleasant variety,\" the peaks are frayed into a thousand shapes, and flushed with red sandstone where they are not green with grass. Here the land rose smoothly from the sea like the back of a monstrous cachalot studded with huge bosses, grey cones that seemed like ghosts of, what in truth they are, dead craters. Over Mount Auckland, whose mass might have broken the spell of this gruesome procession, hung a thick pall of clouds. The island, in its silence and awesomeness, appeared indeed such as we imagine to be at closer quarters, the scenery of the moon.\n\nIt was not till I got ashore that the irrational horror began to lift. Quelpart is in fact of volcanic formation, and the cliffs along which we were skirting are formed of masses of black lava. It is in an opening in these cliffs, some 600 yards wide, that the city of Chei-ju fronts the sea. Why it was built there became more apparent as we drew near the shore in the ship's boat. At first nothing could be seen but a forbidding beach of lava pebbles, on which the surf was breaking. Guided by the people on shore we steered for the east end of the beach, where the stones had been cleared out at the mouth of a stream and a rough bund built up. The tide had not risen sufficiently to lift our boat over the bar of pebbles until she was lightened of her passengers, who were carried ashore on the islanders' shoulders. We then observed that the stream, protected from the sea by its natural breakwater of pebbles, formed a small boat harbour, in which lay a few fishing craft, among them one Japanese with two men aboard. I was taken into the city to call on the Chief Magistrate, a friendly crowd at our heels. Our way led us past the boat harbour, creek, lagoon, or whatever it should be called, westward to the city wall. Chei-ju claims to be 1,900 years old, but was restored and reorganized only two or three centuries back. The wall looks worthy of the earlier date, so grey is it, and overgrown in parts with creepers that have thickened into wood. The gates are remarkable. The arch is not more than 12 feet high or broad, and the two leaves of the gates do not fill the whole space, squared off as they are at top. The wall, the houses, the streets, are built of lava, and this, though it makes Chei-ju a gloomy city to the eye, at least keeps it comparatively clean for the feet. The shops, such as I saw, and I think I was traversing the main street, were equally novel to me. They appear as so many cupboards, as it were, 4 feet, or little more, in depth and breadth, and 6 to 7 feet high, opening on to the street through the usual Corean window space. There can be room for only two persons in the shop, and the purchaser, I presume, negotiates from the street.\n\n## \n\nThe public offices of Chei-ju open on to the market-place, through which a flagged causeway runs. The market, they told me, is held six times a-month. On the north of the square is the Yamun proper, displaying over its gateway the legend \"Tan-la Pro-cheng-sa\" T'an-la (pronounced Talla), was the old name of Quelpart when, some 600 years ago, it was an independent kingdom, and governed by a Queen. To this day, indeed, the islanders are regarded by the Coreans as foreigners. Under the system prevailing till the present year, Quelpart was governed by a \"Moksa,\" or Prefect (literally, a pastor), residing at Chei-ju, with a \"Kunsu,\" or Warden, at Chêng-wi, and a \"Hyên-kam,\" or District Magistrate, at Tai-chêng. All these officials were under the orders of the Governor of Chulla-do. Since the Reformation, Quelpart has become an independent county or department, and a \"Koanchalsa,\" or Governor, has been appointed. Pending his arrival the former \"Moksa\" is acting in his stead, and it was to call on this official that I was being taken. He received me, not in the Yamun proper, but in a compound on the other (the south) side of the market-place. As I entered he rose and bowed, then immediately reseated himself, cross-legged, on a small square mat covered with green cloth. I sat down on the only article of furniture that at all suggested a seat, a kind of wooden grating to his right, elevated some 8 inches from the floor. The \"Hyenik's\" linguist meanwhile knelt on a mat in front of the \"Moksa,\" and handed over the despatches he had brought from Seoul; for the \"Hyenik\" had conveyed to Quelpart six persons under sentence of banishment, two for ten years, the others for life. These men were said to have been concerned in the murder of Kim Hak-o, Vice-Minister of Justice, last September. Their sentence, which, under the new rules, should also involve hard labour, seemed to trouble them little, as they made no secret of their expectation that another turn of the political wheel would shortly release them.\n\nKim Hak-o, by the way, was at one time for some eight months purser of the \"Hyenik,\" and Captain Benzenius described him as an accomplished linguist, who spoke Japanese, Chinese, and Russian, and had visited Tôkið and St. Petersburgh.\n\nThe \"Moksa\" read his despatches and talked to me, puffing the while at his long pipe, which, with its polished brass ash-tray and the inseparable brass commode, lay handy at his side. He insisted on my sharing his breakfast, and three of the little octagonal tables were brought in (the third was for the linguist) loaded with vermicelli, bêche-de-mer, and pickled vegetables, inscrutably acrid. \"Sul\" (Corean spirit) was served, hot as in China, and the \"Moksa\" emptied three cups in our honour. I can, however, indorse the remarks of the \"Shin Chosen's\" correspondent, to whom he showed himself equally hospitable: \"He was in appearance studiously simple, self-possessed, and amiable, with the air of a gentleman.\" His secretaries, who stood in a semi-circle facing him, but behind us, were dressed in the old camisole of light blue or purple; indeed, I only observed one Corean at Chei-ju who wore the regulation outer coat of black. The \"Moksa's\" own garment was of dark grey, and he had on the old-fashioned amber hat string with a jade side button. The room in which we sat was bare of everything but the articles I have described and an old halbert in one corner; opening out of it, in full view, was the \"Moksa's\" bed-room, with the usual bed-mat and small oblong pillow, pile of books, and crossed paper slips at the bed-head for memoranda. The doors to the courtyard were wide open, and were crowded with an assortment of very orderly natives. When I came out I found my Chinese servant surrounded by some dozens of them, his face beaming with satisfaction. He confided to me that the disposition of the islanders was equally friendly with that of the inhabitants of Ping-yang, whither he had accompanied Mr. Osborne last June. My brief experience pointed the same way, but perhaps I shone in the reflected light of the \"big country' man. On the other hand, the Japanese press men affirm that the people are not well behaved, and received them on their landing with abuse. This, they say, is due to the harsh treatment of the natives by Japanese fishermen, who have indeed nearly driven the Quelpart fishers from their own seas. I was told that the Awabi shell-fisheries were chiefly worked by women, who at times used to dive for pearls; and that on one occasion at least their seclusion was invaded by Japanese, and a fight ensued, in which some of the latter were killed. The Quelpart women shy of strangers more than their sisters at Chemulpo and Seoul, old traditions lingering longer in this unfrequented corner.\n\n## \n\nQuitting the Moksa's Yamên, I turned north to the city wall to see if the clouds had lifted from Mount Auckland. That giant, for such he is among Quelpart hills, is known locally as Han-la San (read Halla), and abundant traditions cluster round him. The \"Moksa\" told me that not more than one or two in 10,000 would have courage to ascend to his top, and other Coreans declared that of those who had in times past done so, the few who returned came down in a tempest of thunder and rain. It was possible, the \"Moksa\" said, in answer to my question, that a European might escape these influences, but I do not think he quite relished my proposal to come back later and try. The mountain is evidently the principal crater of the volcanic system that has raised this island, and from what glimpses I could catch of his summit, and the reports of those who, like Captain Benzenius, had circumnavigated the island, there should be little natural difficulties in climbing his sloping sides. The woods with which they are clad would probably be the chief hindrance, and the superstitious fears of the people.\n\nI went along the eastern wall of the city, accompanied by my Chinaman and a dozen or so of volunteer guides, youths of 15 or 16 for the most part, whose hats proclaimed them already married. The wall is very picturesque in parts, reminding me of the city ramparts of Wênchow in China. The mountain stream, whose embouchure forms the boat harbour, approaches the wall at this side down a wooded ravine, and passes through it in a double arch. Near the south-east corner is a kiosque, whose chief glory, according to my guides, is a slab bearing the four words, \"Snowy north, fragrant south,\" written, as they proudly informed me, by the hand of Kim Chêng-hui, better known by his nom de plume of Ch'u-sa (\"the Autumn Author\"), a calligraphist of the first half of this century, whose renown penetrated even to China. From the wall I had a good view of the neighbouring fields, if such they can be called, for they grow to all appearance little else but lava. A melancholy but not unmusical singing induced me to look over at one point, where a row of women were weeding a field in time to the chant. My guides did not quite approve my curiosity, for the reason, as far as I could gather, that the weeders were of the other--for really in this case it could hardly be called the fair--sex.

        "content_text": "# Appendix A.\n\n## THE LAW OF STORMS IN THE EASTERN SEAS.\n\n## INTRODUCTION.\n\nThe earliest signs of a typhoon are clouds of the cirrus type—looking like fine hair, feathers, or pale white tufts of wool—travelling from the east or thereabout, their direction backing towards the north, a slight rise in the barometer, clear and dry but hot weather, calms, or very light winds. If cirrus come from W, they prove that there is no typhoon. If they come from the S, then there will be a typhoon more than 600 miles to the southward. This fine weather lasts for days and the first chapter of the following paper treats of the law of storms and was first published in Hongkong in September, 1886. It was read before the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association on the 17th May, 1893. It is now reprinted with later additions. The second chapter treats of the management of ships in typhoons, and was originally included in the pamphlet on the law of storms.\n\nThe cirrus clouds, which frequently assume fantastic shapes, make their appearance within 1,500 miles of the centre of a typhoon. They show that water-vapour has risen about 6 miles in the atmosphere through the air rising near the centre. It was read as a separate lecture before the Shipmasters' Society, London, on the 1st January, 1896, and is now reprinted with a few additions. The third chapter was printed in the Government Gazette. The fourth and fifth chapters, on different classes of typhoons and on typhoons in the southern part of the China Sea, appeared in \"Zeitschrift für Meteorologie\" in 1891.\n\nPlate I illustrates the different classes of typhoons enumerated in § 4. Figure 1 shows how Cirrus radiate from various directions but when there is a typhoon, and the radiation is very distinct, it is usually from the same direction as the bearing of the centre. The wind blows in a typhoon as determined by aid of observations made at the Hongkong Observatory during 1884-87 inclusive. Figure 2 shows a typhoon in the Formosa Channel on the 21st and 22nd August, 1884.\n\nAn increasing swell in the sea is noticed from 300 to 600 miles from the centre, or farther off; this depends greatly upon the situation of the nearest land, and particularly upon whether land intervenes between the observer and the typhoon centre. The swell arises from the heavy seas that accompany a typhoon and form the real danger to ships, which are usually well fit to stand the force of the wind without too serious damage. As the velocity of waves in the sea is much greater than the velocity of the centre, the swell is frequently of great help in forecasting a typhoon, but it appears that the bearing of the centre is not well determined from the swell; besides, the swell would indicate where the typhoon was at a certain time previous when the waves that caused the swell were raised by the wind.\n\nIt appears that typhoons in the China Sea originate in elongated slight depressions, which sometimes lie across the Philippines as well as the China Sea, but usually exist only over the sea extending sometimes far into the Pacific. To the north of them, it blows moderate NE breezes and south of them somewhat less strongly from the SW. The NE breezes reach generally only as far as northern Formosa in summer, but in autumn, the NE (and farther north, the NW) monsoon blows much farther north.\n\nWithin 600 miles of the centre, the sky is often half overcast with cumulus, above which cirro-stratus is seen, the sky being frequently paled by high and faint cirro-stratus. To the E of these depressions in the Philippines, there are light S and SE breezes. They may also occur to the W. In summer, these depressions begin with rising pressure in the interior of China or in Japan. In autumn, it seems the pressure rises slightly near the equator and wanders E and gradually northward over the China Sea.\n\n| Distance from Centre | Barometer Reading |\n| --- | --- |\n| 40 miles | 29.20 |\n| 50 miles | 29.30 |\n| 100 miles | 29.40 |\n| 200 miles | 29.50 |\n\nThe barometer is generally rising beyond 600 miles of the centre, and the mercury is to fall slowly (seldom as much as a tenth of an inch in 24 hours) in the barometer. The barometer is read little more than a tenth of an inch lower in the axis than along the coasts all round them. Along these coasts, the wind variable, frequently in heavy squalls with great downpour of rain, but thunder is seldom heard.\n\nWithin 300 miles (or in different typhoons between 200 and 400 miles) of the centre, there is a cross sea, which therefore gets up some time before, and lasts longer than the wind. Within 200 miles of the centre, the temperature falls quickly, owing to the heavy roll-cumulus near the E and W end of the elongated depression as the winds there already revolve as in a rotating storm except to the W or E of the centre forming, so that the N or S squalls need to come sometimes abnormally dry, and the sky at the same time presents a peculiar black and luminous appearance.\n\nThe dimensions of different typhoons vary. The approach of the centre is judged by the fall of the mercury in the barometer and by the increase in the strength of the squalls. No conclusions can be drawn with certainty from the reading of the barometer concerning the distance of the centre. The readings differ in different typhoons occurring during the same month. Taking the mean of several typhoons, I obtained the barometer readings as shown in the table.\n\nIt is rather difficult to say whether a depression in the China Sea, when its existence has been ascertained, is a typhoon or only a minor disturbance, but if the following signs are observed as now to be explained, then it is certain to be a typhoon. A minor depression gives signs less marked and more confused.",

        "content_text": "## WEATHER-FORECASTS AND STORM-WARNINGS ISSUED FROM THE HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.\n\nA knowledge of typhoons and their paths is often required when you have to decide whether to remain at your moorings or to slip your cable and run; for instance, a vessel between Hongkong and Swatow in an anchorage sheltered against N and E winds will be safe while a typhoon is moving from E to W across the China Sea, but should the centre move northwards, the vessel might be thrown on a lee shore when the wind backs through W to S.\n\nA steamer at anchor, when a typhoon is approaching, should get up steam, and a sailer should, if possible, take down the top masts as soon as it blows a fresh breeze in the squalls. With reference to a sailing vessel, the time when to begin striking the top masts must, of course, depend upon the extent to which she is undermanned. Striking the masts increases the rolling. A sheltered anchorage must be selected, and when the centre passes very near, the berth may have to be changed to avoid being thrown on a lee shore.\n\n### METEOROLOGICAL SIGNALS.\n\nMeteorological Signals are hoisted on the Mast beside the Time-Ball at Kowloon Point for the information of Masters of Vessels leaving the Port. They do not imply that bad weather is expected in the Colony itself.\n\n| Signal | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| **A DRUM** | Indicates a Typhoon to the East of the Colony. |\n| **A BALL** | Indicates a Typhoon to the West of the Colony. |\n| **A CONE, Point Upwards** | Indicates a Typhoon to the North of the Colony. |\n| **A CONE, Point Downwards** | Indicates a Typhoon to the South of the Colony. |\n\nRED SIGNALS indicate that the Centre is believed to be more than 300 miles away from the Colony. BLACK SIGNALS indicate that the Centre is believed to be less than 300 miles away from the Colony.\n\n### NIGHT SIGNALS.\n\n* **TWO LANTERNS Hoisted Vertically** indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to veer.\n* **TWO LANTERNS Hoisted Horizontally** indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to back.\n\nThe Signals are repeated on the Flagstaff of the Godown Company at Kowloon, and also, by day only, at the Harbour Office and on H. M.'s Receiving Ship.\n\n## LOCAL STORM-WARNINGS.\n\nThe Colony itself is warned of approaching Typhoons by means of the **TYPHOON-GUN** placed at the foot of the Mast, which is fired whenever a strong gale of wind is expected to blow here.\n\n### NOTICE BOARDS.\n\nNotice Boards placed at the Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph Company's Offices, Observations made at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. are exhibited shortly after 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Peddar's Wharf, at the Harbour Office, and at the Office of the Kowloon Godown Company. Weather-forecasts and Storm-warnings are exhibited daily about 11 a.m., and also at other hours, and at night, whenever necessary while Typhoons are raging in the Far East. The China Coast Meteorological Register is exhibited about Noon (Sundays and Government holidays excepted).\n\n## THE LAW OF STORMS.\n\nFurther information concerning the weather to be expected while signals are hoisted, and sailing directions, are given in \"The Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas.\"\n\nShipmasters may obtain by telegraph the latest information as to weather at any station reporting to the Hongkong Observatory by payment for a reply of at least ten words (2.6, twelve words including the address). Application may also be made for similar information to be telegraphed on some future specified day.\n\nWith reference to typhoon anchorages in China, beginning with Hainan, we have Backli bay (19° 41' N. 108° 39′ E.) with shelter against winds between NNE. and S. only. It is not a very good labour, and the natives are not to be trusted. In southern Hainan, we have Yulinkan bay 18° 12', ... Ga bay (18° 13', 109° 34′) may also be used. Manin harbour (19° 57', 109° 52') can be used when the centre is to the north of Hainan. Hunghom bay (20° 17', 110° 23′) is shallow and is not often used, except when no better place is within reach. Hui-ling-san (21° 34′, 111° 47') and Nan'ao bay (21° 35', 112° 34') are available between Hainan and Hongkong. Near Hongkong is the excellent harbour by Saint John's Island (21° 40', 112° 42'), which is commonly used. Vessels of great draught anchor to the S. of the position given. Tongku harbour (22° 35′, 113° 55') is used in case of typhoons crossing the China Sea. It offers no shelter against W. winds. This is at the mouth of the Canton River. Higher up the river, ships anchor under the Bogue forts, although typhoon centres pass that spot, but then it does not blow so hard as out at sea, when the centre is inland. Capsingmoon pass to the W. of Mahwan is shelter against typhoons, but Chingwan bay (22° 49' 114° 96') is one of the best harbours in China. In consequence, it is too crowded during a typhoon. To the NW. of Stonecutter's Island (22° 20' 114° 8') launches find shelter. Tytam bay to the SE. of Hongkong is an excellent harbour. Deep bay (22° 47', 114° 16') gives better shelter than Kors bay (22° 48', 114° 13'), but some vessels prefer the latter as the storm-signals can be seen from these. A position between Taipintong and the Channel Rocks makes the best anchorage. Mirs bay (22° 38', 114° 27′) under Pengchau offers shelter to vessels bound for Hongkong from a northern direction. Between Mirs bay and Swatow, there are no very good typhoon harbours, but shelter may be found against NE. winds. By Namoa Island (23° 28', 116° 57') is excellent anchorage. Tongsan bay (23° 47', 117° 35′) is much used, and also Amoy harbour. Making harbour (23° 32', 118° ...) by the Pescadores is excellent. In Pilquan harbour (24° 10′, 120° 31') there is good shelter from NE. winds to vessels under 15 feet draught. The Haitan Straits (25° 26', 119° 44′) are very ... There are several anchorages round Chusan. In Luzon, there is an anchorage at the entrance to Manila bay, N. of Corregidor Island (14° 25', 120° 33'). On the S. coast of Mindoro, we have Garza bay (12° 13′, 121° 11′).\n\nWhen the red drum is hoisted, the weather is generally fine in Hongkong, and settled fine if the typhoon moves northward, so that this signal does not by any means imply bad weather here. Steamers bound for northern, western or southern ports should then lose no time in starting, as they may expect more or less fine weather. Those bound for the Philippines should take precautions to avoid cyclones as explained above. Sailing vessels bound for western or southern parts should lose no time in starting, but those that are bound for the north or east ought to remain in the harbour awaiting information, should the wind be westerly here at the time, as they may expect to fall in with calms or contrary breezes after starting, even ...",

It is said that many people have voluntarily given up the opium habit.\n\nIn the K'ai Hsien and Wan Hsien districts of K'uai-chou Prefecture, also in the east of the province, nothing whatever has been done to check use or cultivation, and although Proclamations have been issued in the O-mei district, in the Chia-ting Prefecture, south and west of the provincial capital, announcing official control of opium, nothing has been done to enforce obedience. Some of the gentry and scholars have abandoned the habit, but there is no reduction in cultivation.\n\nPoppy cultivation has been practically abandoned in the districts of Pa Hsien and Chi-chiang Hsien, lying between the port of Chungking and the frontier of the Province of Kueichow. One traveller states that, with some very few exceptions, he saw nothing in this part of the province but wheat, beans, &c., where last year opium grew in profusion. In the Pa Hsien district, opium growers are all registered, and in spring, many fields of poppy were summarily destroyed by their owners to avoid being found out by yamen runners sent out with a deputy on a tour of inspection. In these districts, opium houses have been reduced in most instances from ten or more in a market town to two or three. Food-stuffs were cheaper than for many years, owing to their larger production.\n\nIt is at the district city of Sui-ning, in the Prefecture of Tung-chuan Fu, which lies between the Prefectures of Pao-ning and Chengtu, that experiments are being made with the Malay opium cure already referred to. Reference has also been made to the orders given by the Governor-General for curtailment of cultivation in future, and to the special deputies appointed to report on the areas under poppy. In Szechuan, the poppy seed is sown during the present month (November), so that it is yet too soon to say what measure of success will attend the instructions enjoining curtailment.\n\nKueichow—In last Report, it was mentioned that a genuine attempt was being made in this province to stamp out the evil. This may be applicable to Kuei-yang, the provincial capital, and the immediate neighbourhood; but Reports recently received from other prefectures tell quite a different story. Of the Prefecture of An-shun Fu, in the west of the province, it is stated that Proclamations were issued last year and this year, but no action has been taken locally in pursuance of them. No steps have been taken to restrict the area under cultivation. Nearly all the available land is given over to poppy growing, and very little wheat is cultivated. In the beginning, the officials made a pretence of closing the opium houses and shops, and the signboards were taken down, but now both houses and shops are in full swing again, and no inspection is carried out. The only step taken to cure the smokers has been to open a temple as a place for dispensing medicines to help in the cure.\n\nWriting from the Prefecture of Chen-yuen Fu, in the east of the province, a correspondent says that a Proclamation was issued last March warning residents of a certain locality that the Opium Regulations were still in force, and that planting of poppy was a violation thereof, but no official action has been taken.\n\nLast year's anxiety on the subject has quite disappeared, and none of the officials are really giving up the habit. One Magistrate near Chen-yuen sent deputies to destroy the poppy fields, but appeal was made to the Governor, and he was made to pay heavy restitution. There are no restrictions on smokers in this district, nor are any medicines being given out by the officials.\n\nAnother report states that in the Tsung-yi Prefecture, in the north of the province, nearly 85 per cent. of the fields in the writer's district are under poppy, and that more opium is being bought than last year. No fresh Proclamations have been issued, and the opium houses and shops are neither closed nor inspected, and there are no restrictions on smokers.\n\nThe above is rather a black picture, but Kueichow is probably the most opium-sodden province of the Empire, and eradication of the evil will take time.\n\nYünnan.—I have already referred to the energy displayed by the Governor-General of Yünnan and Kueichow, and to his determination to eradicate opium from the former province during the present Chinese year. The following is the gist of the Proclamation which he issued on the 21st July: Those who have contracted the opium craving must free themselves of it during the year; all fields hitherto under poppy must be sown with beans and wheat, and the cultivation of poppy must cease; and all stocks of raw and prepared opium in shops and godowns must be speedily removed out of the province. All who still smoke after the 21st January, 1909, will be prosecuted and severely punished; all who cultivate the poppy after that date will have their crops uprooted, and the land will be confiscated for the public benefit; all prepared opium shops and godowns for the storage of the raw drug must be closed and their business cease; and any daring to have secret stocks of either the raw or prepared drug will have the same confiscated and be themselves punished.\n\nThe Governor-General has taken the further step of telegraphing to the provincial authorities ordering them to prevent the passage of opium through any Customs or li-kin barriers within their jurisdiction on and after the 21st September. If these instructions are carried out, opium in Yünnan will cease to have a marketable value. He has had secret agents at work in the province inquiring into the poppy areas and watching the measures being taken for suppression.\n\nReports speak of crops having been uprooted in the neighbourhood of the provincial capital, and of areas being reduced in some districts from a fourth to a third with a consequent lowering of the price of food-stuffs; but as a whole, and taking into consideration the steps that have been taken in the matter, they cast some doubt on the ability of the Governor-General to eradicate opium within his time limit. They also point out the great difficulty that will be experienced in dealing with cultivation in the mountainous country in the west of the province inhabited by Lolos, Kachins, Shans, and others, as well as by Chinese, where control is somewhat weak, but here, as everywhere else in China, success must largely depend on the energy and good faith of the local authorities.\n\n### 15 \n\nIn condensing these reports, which are necessarily fragmentary dealing as they do with only parts of provinces, I have endeavoured to extract and present the most salient points bearing on the carrying out of the task which China has imposed upon herself. They reveal a curious mixture of energy and apathy; but it must be admitted that through the former considerable progress is being made, especially in curtailment of production. As regards smoking, the closing of opium houses, if here and there somewhat lax, has placed a stigma on the habit, and a public opinion strongly adverse to the drug is discernible in several important centres. The registration and licensing of opium shops and smokers is gradually being enforced, but, although some provinces lag behind others in this respect, time has been insufficient to carry out what has only been completed in the metropolis less than a month ago. There is evidence that smokers are voluntarily breaking off the habit, but the information regarding the cures affected by anti-opium medicines is somewhat indefinite, and it is to be feared that in many cases opium and morphia eating is taking the place of opium smoking.\n\nThere are two questions calling for some attention in connection with the suppression of opium in China. They are—\n\n1. What can be grown in place of the poppy?\n2. How is the revenue hitherto derived from opium to be made good?\n\nThe time of opium harvesting differs with the provinces, but in general terms, it may be said that in Western and South-Western China, where the great bulk of the drug is produced, the poppy occupies the ground from November to the middle of April, and in Manchuria and North China from March to July. In the West, wheat, rape, beans, and peas are cultivated during the poppy season; and in the North, where the rigorous winter stops all cultivation, the poppy shares the ground with the usual summer crops. The advantage of opium production, in addition to the higher value of the harvest per acre, is the portability of the drug in a country where lack of means of communication bars access to a market. One man can carry a load of opium for hundreds of miles over atrocious roads to a market without unduly raising its cost, whereas grain or other produce of the same value could not be moved many miles and yield a profit; and it is to the development of railways that the Chinese cultivator must look to enable him to grow and dispose of the crops best suited to climate and soil. Where communication is easy and cheap, the farmer will lose little by abandoning the poppy.\n\nIt is a much more difficult matter to say whence China will derive the revenue which the suppression of opium (native and foreign) will necessarily cut off. Although China considers the abandonment of that revenue of no account in comparison with the eradication of the evil, the sacrifice is a heavy one. Certain steps have, however, already been taken to make good the loss. Increased taxation of land under poppy is only a temporary relief, and will cease with the suppression of cultivation; but in Szechuan, the Provincial Government, under instructions from the Board of Finance, has imposed a tax of 3 cash a catty on the salt production of that province, and an additional tax of 5 cash per catty on salt exported from Szechuan to Hupei.

        "content_text": "## Mr. Parker to Mr. Cloud\n\nROBERT WILLIS  \nBureau of Agriculture, Industry, and Commerce, Mukden, November 26, 1908.\n\nAT your request I give you herewith a summarized Report of the information concerning the agriculture of Manchuria, gathered by myself and Mr. W. H. Tomhave during the autumn of 1908.\n\n### 1. Soil and Climate\n\nThe typical soil of Feng-tien and Kirin Provinces is a loose clay loam, brownish in colour and of extraordinary depth and fertility. Sand and sandy loams are seen occasionally, and in many areas of relatively low level one finds the black, alluvial soil deposits indicative of the presence of water and water-loving vegetation, which in past ages has decayed to give the black colour to these soils. In Hei-lung-chiang Province vast areas of loose sandy soils exist that are not adapted to a permanent system of agriculture, but which furnish a rather sparse growth of wild grasses for grazing. The percentage of waste land in Feng-tien and Kirin is very small, and the brown fertile fields stretch away to the horizon in all directions, creating the impression of boundless areas of tillable soil as strongly as do the prairies of the Mississippi valley in America or the vast prairies of Manitoba. It is not a gross exaggeration to say that no large soil areas of the world contain more potential wealth than do the soil areas of Manchuria, the proof being shown in the crops that are taken from the soil by methods of culture that would bankrupt farmers on the best soils of the Mississippi valley.\n\nWhile no statistics are at present available concerning the climate of Manchuria (except Hosie, 1898), the character of the vegetation indicates a humid climate having an annual rainfall of about 25 inches, and the crop growth indicates further a summer season in which the rapidity of the growth of crops is truly remarkable. Spring wheat, for example, matures in Manchuria in about 100 days, whereas in the same degree of latitude in America (42-46° north) spring-sown wheat requires 120 to 130 days to mature. The soy-bean also that is grown in all parts of Manchuria, from Dalny to Harbin (46° north), is confined to the relatively small area known as the cotton belt in the States, and its presence in these degrees of latitude is an indication of a very favourable growing season for staple agricultural crops. The climatic drawbacks of Manchuria are the spring sand-storms, which drift soil, retard early growth, and accelerate the evaporation of soil moisture, also the heavy rainfall that usually comes in July and August, the harvest season for wheat. A tender crop like wheat is therefore subjected in many seasons to the mercy of the elements, but wheat is also menaced in Canada by frost, and in the Mississippi valley by wind- and rain-storms preceding harvest.\n\nTo sum up this brief sketch of the soil and climate of Manchuria, it may be said that Manchuria is an extremely favoured region of the world for the growth of large areas of those staple crops that are fit for human food and capable of being stored and easily transported, and that the ability of this region to produce the soy-bean gives Manchuria an enormous advantage over regions unable to grow the soy-bean successfully in the production of live-stock products, for bean-meal is a highly prized article of cattle food and would sell for 25 dollars to 40 dollars gold in the States or in Holland or Denmark.\n\n### 2. The Common Crops\n\nThe universally grown crop of Manchuria is the kaoliang, or tall sorghum, which is the staple food of the people and is grown everywhere, from Dalny and Newchwang to Tsitsihar. The soy-bean is grown over a wide area also and is the only export crop of any importance, the oil expressed from the seeds going to South China for cookery, and the bean-cakes to Japan to be used as fertilizer on the rice-fields. Beans are the great cash crop of the country, and the export of bean-cake must be viewed as a national waste by any observer familiar with the feeding of crop by-products to live stock, for if condensed into meat the cash equivalent would fully equal, if not exceed, the cash value of the raw products, and the manure from the cattle would remain on the land. As large markets for meat and dairy products do not exist in Manchuria and China, the export of bean-oil by-products will undoubtedly remain a feature of the agriculture of Manchuria until an export trade in meats is developed. In the northern provinces large areas of small millet or Japanese millet are grown, the product being used chiefly for human food. Spring wheat is grown in small areas in all regions of Manchuria, the chief wheat-producing areas being north-east of Tie-ling, about Hai-lung-fu, south of Ninguta, and in that portion of Sungari River region south-west of Harbin bounded on the south-west and south by the Sungari and on the east by the mountains. It is impossible to gain any idea of the total area devoted to wheat in Manchuria, for a large part of the crop is ground and consumed on the farms, and no statistics are available for that part of the crop which enters the commerce of the country. Harbin, Khabarovsk, Ninguta, Kuan-cheng-tzu, Kirin, and Tie-ling are the important wheat-buying centres. As far as we can determine, no attempt has ever been made to improve the present wheat seed of the country or to introduce new varieties, and the Chinese farmer uses the same seed as his ancestors, a seed of inferior quality, due to the many years of poor care and poor selection the seed has been subjected to. Samples of wheat exhibited in the Japanese flour-mill in Tie-ling resembled very closely the \"Canadian Preston\" and \"Canadian Club\"-types of wheat widely used in North America.\n\nBuckwheat thrives luxuriantly in Manchuria, and samples seen at Tie-ling were of superior quality to the buckwheat of New York State and other favoured localities in America. Buckwheat is ground in small amounts in the native mills, but its consumption is relatively small compared to common wheat.\n\nTobacco is grown in all parts of Manchuria, and even about the villages of Eastern Mongolia one sees small patches of this crop. The best tobacco districts of Manchuria are reported to be north of Kirin, the town centres of this region being Wu-lai-kai, La-ling-chang, Wu-chang-ting, and Ku-yi-Shu. Kirin is the largest tobacco market of Manchuria, although tobacco finds its way into all the Chinese cities from A-Shah-ho in the north to Mukden in the south. Experts of the British American Tobacco Company report the native tobacco to be of excellent quality, and could the crop be properly planted, topped, and cured it could compete with Virginia and Carolina tobacco from the States.\n\nSmall areas of Indian corn or maize are occasionally seen in Manchuria, one of the largest producing areas being situated east of Liao-yang. The maize grown by the natives is of very inferior quality, badly mixed, and with weak, degenerate types of ears-caused, without doubt, by the improper control of the seed. Manchuria undoubtedly has a naturally favourable soil and climate for maize, and with good seed and intelligent cultivation it is the opinion of the writer (unsubstantiated at present) that such soil areas as the Liao-ho valley could produce more human food with maize than with kaoliang.\n\nThe root crops of Manchuria do not cover sufficient area to deserve notice as staple crops, but in speaking of the potential agricultural wealth of the country it should be noted that the loose, loamy soils of this region are particularly favourable for such crops as potatoes and sugar-beets. The intense sunshine of summer is also favourable for beet-sugar growth, and beets grown last year at the local agricultural experiment farm showed amounts of sugar ranging from 14 to 18 per cent.-a remarkably high percentage of sugar.\n\nUpland rice, barley, and hemp are also grown to some extent in Manchuria, but acreage is so small that they cannot be classed among the common or staple crops of the country.\n\nPage 624",

        "content_text": "# Berlin, Nov. 12, 1914.\n\n**DES DELISCHT CHANDE**\n\nReports for Enlightenment about Germany and the War.\n\nWidest circulation requested.\n\n## England and the neutral merchant marine\n\nFrom the beginning, the English government has incessantly declared that she is not waging war for selfish purposes, but in the interests of the small neutral countries. How much truth there is in this, is demonstrated by her treatment of these same neutral countries. The English regulations concerning war contraband were intended to injure German commerce through neutral countries, by preventing the transportation of German productions on neutral ships. England's design was the ruin of Germany, at the expense of the neutral states, ostensibly under England's protection. At the beginning of the war, in order to accomplish her ends, which were by no means unselfish, she had all neutral ships on the high seas searched for contraband. The activity of the German fleet, particularly of the sub-marines, was a great menace to the British fleet. Therefore, England required all neutral ships, in the supposed interest of their own safety, to run into the harbours of Falmouth, Lough Swilly, and Kirkwall, there to be searched for contraband. In other words, England commanded all neutral countries to protect the British fleet and to accept without further ado her views of marine law. The entire North Sea was finally declared to be in a war-zone and, therefore, closed.\n\nThis blockade of the North Sea was, to all appearances, for the safety of the neutrals, but is in reality against Germany. Technically, it does not in the least alter the situation. It is practically impossible to block the Northern entrance of the North Sea, or, in fact, to shut off entirely by mines, nor would this be a protection to neutral ships, for nowhere are they safer from mines than on the course to the North of England, if they avoid approaching the English coast. On the other hand, the course through the Channel, now recommended by the British Admiralty, is thoroughly unsafe. The incapacity of the British fleet to block the German sea-ports on the North and Baltic Seas is evident, as uninterrupted traffic continues in quite a number of them. Nor has the English fleet, during the entire period of the war, made such an attempt. What is now being done is nothing more or less than a blockade of the entire Atlantic Ocean in order to paralyse the navigation of all neutral states in America and in Europe. British cruisers before New York are actively engaged.\n\nPage 420",

        "content_text": "# O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n## England And Her Part In The Present War\n\nOf making many books upon the present stupendous war in Europe there is no end. Our magazines, periodicals, and daily press teem with news: historical and philosophical articles, relating to the war. The eyes of the world are turned steadfastly on Europe. Neutral as well as belligerent have been drawn to or into the vortex. This writer tells us that the chief cause of the war was the ever-increasing thirst of France to avenge the theft of Alsace and Lorraine in 1871; another sets forth the deep-seated purpose of the Russian Bear to sun himself in peace at Constantinople; again we read that the war blood of Alaric has been boiling for years in the arteries of the kaiser and the German people that they would cross the Alps and annex Italy—would absorb the puny Balkan states and Turkey in their onward march into Asia and a world empire!\n\nAnd the supersensitive Englishman says he could not suffer the brutal betrayal of Belgian neutrality. England has presented her \"white papers\" to the world, wherein she sets forth her diplomatic correspondence just prior to the outbreak of the war, and whereby she would prove how she struggled for peace; Germany offers her \"white papers\" for the same purpose.\n\n### EXCUSES AND APOLOGIES\n\nThese and many similar excuses, apologies, and \"inevitable causes\" flood neutral countries, appealing for their moral support. Every student of history knows that these \"causes\" are for the most part puerile, superficial, temporary expedients. As boys and girls, we were taught in school that slavery was the cause of our Civil War, and it took us many years to learn that aristocracy and democracy, climate and soil, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, the invention of the cotton-gin, the tariff, the acquisition of new territory, were the real fundamental causes of the war, which the match of slavery ignited.\n\nThe unbiased historian of the future will develop the real causes of the present war in Europe, and when he does, he will lay the burden of blame at the door of England. While England has long since abandoned the doctrine of the divine right of kings, she has never for a moment abandoned the doctrine that \"might makes right,\" and that under \"this buckler of the people's cause,\" she has been divinely appointed to gobble the earth and the fullness thereof. Justifying her greed under this specious plea or that, she has crept into first one nation and then another like a thief in the night, till today she rules one-fifth of the habitable globe—and boasts that the sun never sets upon her domains.\n\nBy what right? By the right of craft, cunning, greed, and violence. England has been the road hog, the commercial pirate, the homestead jumper of the world, for the last 400 years. And now, like every successful burglar, after looting the world and planting her batteries at every strategic point, she holds up her hands, reeking with the blood of every people under the sun, and rolls her hypocritical eyes to heaven and prays, \"Let us have peace!\" With a naval power twice that of Germany, she pleads with the kaiser to limit his armaments! Why? Simply that she may be mistress of the seas, the world's policeman—that she may enjoy her ill-gotten gains without fear of a righteous vengeance. Who says the English have no sense of humor?\n\n## ENGLAND'S POLICY\n\nA running glance at English history proves these statements ad nauseam. She went into India, the garden of the world, by craft, then with the bayonet, and finally with opium in one hand and the Bible in the other. Dreamy India soothed her captivity with the fumes of the drug but repudiated the Bible that came with the sword. From 1774, when Warren Hastings began his nefarious spoliation of India, the natives suffered their subjection to English rule till 1857, when came the Sepoy mutiny, at the close of which these enlightened Christian rulers lashed the leading Sepoys with their backs across the mouths of English cannon and blew them into the orthodox hell of \"Merrie Old England.\" After 140 years of civil and military administration in India, what has England to show the world? The cradle of the human race, the womb of the world's religions, has been given over to spoliation and abortion to fill the coffers of Threadneedle Street.\n\nIn 1704, Sir George Rooke, with \"unscrupulous patriotism,\" stole the rock of Gibraltar, after Charles III had fairly won it. Greedy England, quickly realizing that it was the key to all the Mediterranean states, \"was both unprincipled enough to sanction and ratify the occupation, and ungrateful enough to leave unrewarded the general,\" who by his perfidy and treachery had seized it.\n\nWhen Said Pasha, viceroy of Egypt, had granted a concession to De Lesseps to dig the Suez Canal, and he had begun that great work, who schemed, connived, and plotted to hinder, delay, and block the undertaking? Who brought pressure to bear on the Sublime Porte of Turkey not to give his consent to the construction of the canal? Who inveigled the native labor away from the work and then rejoiced that \"poor De Lesseps must go to the wall?\" Who voted in parliament \"that the power and influence of the country should be employed in obliging the sultan to withhold his consent?\" England, always England! And when, in spite of all obstacles and treachery, the canal was constructed, who gobbled it? England!\n\n### \"CUNNING PHILANTHROPY\"\n\nWho then came forward with cunning philanthropy and loaned money to Egypt? And who then ostensibly sent her troops into Egypt to collect these loans, but in reality to possess and keep this ancient granary of the world, and thus still further strengthen her rights in the Suez Canal? England! England, the buccaneer of the seas, the spoiler of nations.\n\nForeigners, principally British foreigners, between 1880 and 1900, who had come into South Africa, were not satisfied with the rights of burghership, the laws governing the right of franchise. The country of the Dutch republics had been reclaimed from wild beasts and still wilder men. The Boers had fought their way, mile by mile, into the trackless veldt, the rugged mountains, and had carved out homes and a government for a peace-loving, contented people. They justly resented the foreign influx and the demands which would give the absolute control of their national life. Consequently, in 1896, Cecil Rhodes, the English premier of the Cape, sent Dr. Jamieson, with his mounted English police, on that despicable raid into the Transvaal.\n\nIt failed. The civilized world condemned the raid as an outrage, yet England left Cecil Rhodes unpunished, still allowed him his seat in the privy council, and continued his chartered company.\n\nFour years later, without just cause or right, inspired only by greed of gold and lust of empire, she marched an army of her mighty realms against this unoffending, peace-loving, contented, and industrious people, sacked and burned their homes, devastated their fields, and razed their towns, waged a bitter and cruel war against Boer forces, in whose ranks stood grizzled burghers, gray-haired women, and children, fighting for their homes, their liberty, and their native land. When Lord Roberts raised the British flag in Pretoria, he but drove another nail into the coffin of the English empire.\n\nAnd so we might speak of her treatment of Denmark in 1801 and 1807; of the treachery of her much-lauded Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, who was dancing at Brussels while good old Blucher was forming his little army to meet the onslaught of Napoleon; or how, with direct and characteristic brutality, she attacked China in the \"Opium War,\" that she might get plenty of this drug to lull her subjects in India to sleep, and how finally, with her land and naval forces, she wrested Hong Kong from China and forced Canton, Amoy, Shanghai, Fuchow, and Ningpo to do business with the English East India Company, or its successor, the English government.\n\n### \"STIRRING UP OF STRIFE\"\n\nTo whatsoever part of the world we turn, we witness the same measureless treachery and violence, the stirring up of strife, that during the squabble, melee, or war, England may walk in and gobble some coveted prize.\n\nO'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nThe whole civilized world should indict this British imperialism that has stalked rampant through every weak nation of the globe, trampling upon native religions, customs, culture, and patriotism, with an insatiate greed for gold and a lust for empire.\n\nShe has been tried in the balance and found wanting in her colonies and dependencies. For years, there has been evidence of their earnest desire to throw off her galling yoke. The recent troubles in Ireland, the present uprisings of the Boers, are but fitting illustrations that predict the future. Her thick-headed \"governmental classes,\" her arrogant, greedy, unsympathetic ministers, will eventually alienate her dependencies, as her Norths and Granvilles alienated her American colonies and drove them into rebellion.\n\nThe present war in Europe is, in the last analysis, a war between Germany and England. The issues which Russia and France have thrown into the struggle are trivial when compared with the fundamental actuating causes between Germany and England.\n\nCooped up in a territory smaller than the state of Texas are 60,000,000 Germans. Hemmed in by the Baltic and North seas, the plains of Poland, the mountains on her southern and eastern borders, and by Belgium and the Netherlands on the west, this mighty nation, conscious of its power, its wealth, its wonderful strides in the arts and sciences, industrial and agricultural pursuits, yearly pulsating with ever-increasing pressure against its borders, from the teeming, swelling life within, descended from an empire that ruled Western Europe before England and France had put on their national swaddling clothes—this nation can see no just cause why England should possess one-fifth of the habitable globe, while Germany suffers with growing pains within her limited confines.\n\nEngland wrested from Holland, Spain, and France, in turn, the mastery of the seas and commercial supremacy. A new nation now challenges that supremacy, and therein lies the basic cause of the present war, with its roots running far back into European history.\n\nIn this deep-seated and far-reaching antagonism, England comes to the United States begging, pleading for our moral support. She has sent her financier, Sir George Paish, to hobnob with Wall Street. She has deputized some of her most able writers to come to this country and pen columns of fulsome flattery about the American people—their mighty power, inexhaustible wealth, wonderful individuality, high-power progression, and even hinting at our culture and refinement. Shall we yield to Caesar the things that belong to God? If England is entitled to our moral support, then there is a moral obligation on our part to render it.\n\nMorals are traditional, practical, idealistic. \"Blood is thicker than water.\" \"The Anglo-Saxon nations are bound by a common speech, common customs, ethical and political aspirations to stand together,\" says the idealistic moralist. But nations ever have been and ever will be, while human nature remains as it is, actuated rather by traditional and practical morality. Measured by this latter standard, is England entitled to our moral support? Her oppression and tyranny toward our colonies from the founding of Jamestown to the cooping up of Cornwallis at Yorktown by the French and Americans; her impressment of American citizens into her naval service that led to the War of 1812; her evil wishes, treacherous machinations, subscriptions to Confederate loans, hostile speeches in parliament, building of the Alabama and other ironclads which were fitted out in her harbors and sent forth to prey upon and destroy the ships of the loyal citizens of this country, after she had declared her neutrality in our Civil War; her bold attempt to filch from us this very state of Washington; her constant sneers, cynicism, taunts, and insults, not only to our form of government and our laws but to anything and everything American, that have appeared in the books of her authors and in her daily press, ever since our Civil War down to the breaking out of the present European War—these and many similar acts on the part of England toward this country answer the question whether traditional and practical morality calls upon us now to give her our moral support.\n\nIs it for the benefit of humanity, for our own moral and material benefit, that we ethically uphold the hands of this robber of nations, that she may be strengthened in her grasp upon one-fifth of the habitable globe? Her orators, exhorting a decadent nation to arms, have already begun to cast lots over the spoils of war. Alsace and Lorraine are to be given to France; Russia is, perhaps, to be strengthened in the Balkans on her way to Constantinople; the naval forces of the kaiser are to be wiped off the seas; Belgium is to be reimbursed and rehabilitated as an outside guard for England's southern shore; and the German people are to be relegated to a quiet, pastoral life, with the privilege of exporting their few products in British bottoms!\n\nWe have wisely proclaimed our neutrality in the present war. Let us keep it in good faith and not in treachery, as did England her neutrality in our Civil War. Our people are conglomerate, and naturally, some sympathize with one nation, some with another, but we are all Americans, and loyalty to our own country, loyalty to humanity, forbids that we give moral support to that nation which is seeking to crush Germany—to that nation whose whole history in dealing with other nations smells to heaven of craft, greed, and violence—to that nation who fought us with mercenaries and is now summoning her satraps, her heathen hordes, to the slaughter of the German people, one of the foremost products of modern civilization.\n\n## A SAD CASE\n\nSamuel A. Greeley of Chicago has suffered a serious loss. He will not get the job from the Manila city government nor the P350 a week and all his expenses paid for telling the local garbage wagon drivers whether they are doing their work properly.\n\nIt is indeed a sad case, but why in the name of Sam Hill could he not have been made some kind of an assistant director of the bureau of agriculture? Is this bureau really loaded up with junk and unable to take on more? Where will they put Census Expert Col. Johnston if the legislature fails to pass the necessary appropriation for census work?

        "content_text": "252\n\n4\n\nwas promptly suppressed by means of an act of exceptional treachery and cruelty. Great efforts are being made to increase the revenue by raising the tax on land transfer and registration, by stamp taxes, and other means, without provoking any great opposition from the long-suffering population. The finances have naturally suffered severely from the dislocation of international trade as a result of the war, but the consequences hitherto have not been as serious as was generally expected.\n\nThe following is a short summary of the principal events recorded in the general quarterly reports from the consulates:-\n\nIn May, Hangchow seems to be most peaceful, but there is a strong feeling against the President, who is considered not to have conferred on the people all the benefits which they expected to derive from republican institutions. This dissatisfaction may perhaps be traced to considerable increases in taxation and to the fact that abuses have not been removed. The increased taxation is expected to yield a surplus for the year of 5,000,000 dollars, of which 2,000,000 dollars are to be devoted to local purposes, such as the payment of debts, so that 3,000,000 dollars should be available as a contribution to the Central Government. On the 16th June official celebrations were held to celebrate the closing of the province to Indian opium.\n\nIn the province of Hunan, in the hands of an energetic and a capable Governor, has been quiet, and an attempt at revolutionary propaganda has met with no success. In the course of the summer a disastrous flood caused great suffering, but the Government acted with unusual promptitude, and at Changsha alone over 20,000 persons were at one time fed daily by the police. The suppression of opium cultivation has been conscientiously carried out, but, on the other hand, the missionaries report that drunkenness is greatly on the increase.\n\nFrom Nanking it is reported that brigandage in the north of the province has decreased to a considerable extent, owing to the ruthless methods of the authorities who are said to have been executing for some time an average of forty-three robbers a day. However, \"the situation at Nanking continues to improve and conditions are becoming normal. The feeling of unrest seems to have almost entirely disappeared, and there is evidence of great commercial activity.\" In the north of the province great damage has been done by drought, locusts, and floods, and it is feared that there will be a famine in the winter. Two ridiculous instances of the activity of the local \"neutrality bureau\" are cited: in one case a revolver and cartridges were taken from a British subject, and he was handed a document to the effect that they would be restored to him on the termination of hostilities in Europe; in the second case the export of cattle from Anhui was prohibited on the ground that the meat would be sold to belligerents, the result being that for a few days foreigners at Nanking found some difficulty in getting meat at all.\n\nHis Majesty's consul at Kiukiang reports that the situation is not very reassuring; rumours of rebellion are rife, mutinies of the troops are feared, and the general in command is obliged to take the most elaborate precautions to avoid assassination. He has recently had one narrow escape and only received a slight wound; forty soldiers were executed for complicity in the attempt on his life.\n\nThe province of Kiangsi is infested with brigands, who are frequently dressed in military uniforms; executions of suspected rebels take place daily. A reorganisation of the police has been undertaken, with the result that there has been a notable increase of petty theft. The new police are called \"constabulary\" and are supported by a tax on prostitution. The state of the town has been rendered worse by the opening of countless gambling dens under virtually official patronage.\n\nIt appears from the last report from Amoy that the energies of the local authorities are almost entirely confined to investigating revolution rumours; nothing of importance is known to have been discovered, and it is thought that the numerous alarming stories are to a great extent fabricated by the secret service agents recently sent down from Peking who are anxious to continue to draw the special salaries paid to them at Amoy. The authorities have at any rate one genuine ground for apprehension in the decision of the Singapore Government to repatriate large numbers of unemployed, and it is possible that among the men thus repatriated there may be a number of agents of the revolutionary party. Brigandage was temporarily stamped out in the spring when large bodies of northern troops were engaged in destroying poppy throughout the province; the anti-opium campaign is being conducted with vigour, and is proving a source of considerable profit to the officials employed, who make a practice of purloining and subsequently reselling a large percentage of the opium which they are supposed to destroy.\n\n5\n\nThe province of Fukien has been unusually fortunate in having a strong and honest Governor. The result has been that the disorders which were so frequent last year have ceased, and official corruption has been curbed. The state of the province is therefore relatively satisfactory, but that there is still room for improvement is shown by the following order issued by the Governor with a view to checking the clan fighting, which is of constant recurrence in the south and west.\n\nOrder by the Civil Governor.\n\n\"Both in the north and south of the province the people are of a savagery rarely seen, breaking out on the slightest provocation and falling on each other with weapons, and by the time the officials have been notified large numbers of people are implicated. The ringleaders pick out the richest of their neighbours to fleece, and their only object is gain, but the ringleaders are nevertheless generally not brought to trial, and as a rule the matter is settled by a fine, the officials pushing and scrambling to make what profit they can out of the business. The rioters snap their fingers at the law, which they use or ignore as best suits them. Consequently serious cases are always arising, while in nine cases out of ten the principal criminals escape. If this method of settling by bribery is allowed to continue, where are the poor country folk to find justice for their wrongs? I have to issue a very stern warning that these abuses are to end; in future, when officials are sent into the country to settle cases, it is most important that they should capture the offenders. If they stubbornly persist in only inflicting fines, using their official position to line their own pockets, they will be punished with the utmost severity in the hope of stamping out this evil practice. The words I speak the law will surely fulfil, and no mercy will be extended to the offender.\"\n\nFoochow is likely to be especially severely hit by the war, as a large percentage of its tea is exported to Germany and the Russian Black Sea ports.\n\nIn the report from Canton for the quarter ending the 30th June, it is stated that the revolutionary element left in the province is small and is losing ground. The rebels' funds are exhausted, and their compatriots beyond the seas are tired of subscribing to what they are beginning to look upon as a hopeless cause. The Cantonese have learnt that rebellion does not always bring the good things it promises. They are weary of the continued unrest and disturbances of the last two or three years, and all they ask for now is a strong Government and peace and protection for their trade. It is not likely, therefore, that anything in the way of a general upheaval will take place. The note redemption scheme (which has been reported separately) was a distinct success for the Administration. Otherwise matters remain much as they were, with piracy, brigandage, and blackmail even more rampant than in the past. The pirates hold various fortified bases which the Chinese authorities hesitate to attack. Plans for combined action with British naval forces were under consideration when the European war broke out, and have naturally been dropped. Since the withdrawal of the foreign gunboats from the Delta and West River, the Chinese authorities have been doing their best to give adequate protection to foreign shipping, in order to show that it will be unnecessary for foreign warships to return at the end of the war; they have, indeed, been remarkably successful up to the present, only one attack on a British vessel being recorded during the past quarter. The vessel was a launch, carrying a mixed cargo, belonging to the British-American Tobacco Company and Messrs. Lever Brothers, and the case was satisfactorily settled locally. The disastrous floods, the worst recorded for nearly a century, which occurred in the early summer, necessitated relief work on a large scale and greatly added to the chronic financial embarrassments of the province, which have been further increased by the loss of trade resulting from the war. Reliable statistics are not obtainable, but there is no doubt that for the months of June, July, August, and September the expenditure greatly exceeded the receipts.\n\nThe Swatow authorities appear quite incapable of suppressing clan fighting among the villagers or of dealing with the numerous brigand bands which infest the province.\n\nAt Hankow there was a serious financial crisis on the outbreak of war, but the situation was saved by the timely assistance afforded to native merchants by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. It is interesting to note that there was a run on the German and Russian banks by Chinese depositors, but not on the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. Many wild rumours were in circulation and considerable military precautions were taken by the authorities but nothing occurred, and \"the condition of the province continues to be peaceful. The normal number of executions take place,\n\n[2313 de-1]\n\n0",

Sir,\n\nIchang, July 12, 1917. IN accordance with your telegraphic instructions of the 3rd March last, I have inspected the province of Kueichow for opium-poppy cultivation, and I now have the honour to enclose herewith my report thereupon.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nEnclosure 6 in No. 1,\n\nB. G. TOURS,\n\nReport of an Inspection of the Province of Kueichow, to learn the Amount of Cultivation of Opium Poppy.\n\nUNDER instructions from His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking, sent to me by telegram dated the 3rd March, 1917, I left Icheng on the 10th March, and, travelling via Chungking, reached the Ssu-chuan-Kueichow border on the 5th April. Arrangements had been made through His Majesty's consul at Chungking that the Chinese official delegates for the inspection of Kueichow province for opium-poppy cultivation should meet me at Sungkau, a town due south from Chungking, lying 3 or 4 miles within the Kueichow border. The delegates met me at midday on the 5th April at a village just inside the provincial boundary. They were four in number, the special commissioner being Mr. Shen Chi, director of the land office at Kueiyang. Mr. Shen is a native of Chekiang, 35 years old, and a graduate of the military college in Japan. He was formerly commissioner in the Bureau for Suppression of Opium poppy in Chekiang province. Of the three assistant-commissioners only one, Mr. Chien Chih-wan, took any prominent part in the inspection. Mr. Chien is also from Chekiang; 30 years old. His post is secretary in the Kueiyang post-office; he was formerly Deputy for Foreign Affairs at the port of Wenchow.\n\nOn arrival at Sungkan I found the town gay with flags and the streets thronged with people. Semi-military hands, chiefly recruited from the schools, joined our cavalcade outside the town, and played us into our destination for the day, a yamen of the Salt Administration. On arrival I held a conference with the Chinese delegates to settle our daily procedure; but the only point on which they appeared at all interested was the route which I proposed to take through the province. I told the delegates that the route depended on so many things, such as our rate of progress and weather conditions, that it was impossible to lay down any fixed route. We arranged some minor points regarding the daily despatch of the luggage caravan at 6 A.M. and our own daily departure at 7 A.M., and to these hours we adhered throughout the journey.\n\nI had decided in my own mind to proceed to Tsun-yi, although I felt tolerably certain that that was the route designed by the Chinese authorities. My reason for this was that it had been reported in Chungking that a priest of the Roman Catholic Mission in Kueiyang had travelled from Kueiyang to Chungking via Tsun-yi in December and early January, and had seen a considerable amount of opium-poppy in flower along the route. I had great doubts as to the possibility of the correctness of this statement, the flowering season in Kueichow being April in a forward season and May in a late season. However, the statement had been made so definitely that I deemed it advisable to travel over the priest's route as far as Tsun-yi. I was, however, very soon satisfied, from the state of the crops generally, that no flowering had been seen in January, and that flowering could scarcely have commenced in early April, the season this year being a late one.\n\nFrom Sungkan to Tsun-yi (83 miles) the country consists of gently rolling hills and fertile valleys, all thickly cultivated. The main crops were beans, rape, and peas, in the order named; all were just coming into flower, and looked very strong and healthy. A good number of fields were cropless, and I looked carefully for any signs of destruction of young poppy plants, but if there had been such destruction the work had been thoroughly carried out, so that not a vestige remained except the bare fields.\n\nAt Tung-tzu, half-way between Sungkan and Tsun-yi, I found a Roman Catholic mission, and I called on the resident priest, Père Drouhot, who told me that in January stringent orders were issued for the destruction of all opium poppy plants in the neighbourhood. Severe punishments were inflicted on those who did not immediately comply, and three of the more recalcitrant planters were killed by shooting. As a result of these stern measures all the poppy crops had entirely disappeared, and Père Drouhot was of the opinion that not a single plant remained growing for many miles round Tung-tzu. I told him the Chungking story of poppy flower having been seen in Kueichow in January, and he said there must be a mistake, as such a thing was impossible. He mentioned that the Tung-tzu officials had been much exercised in mind over my visit, and were very desirous to receive me well and not to give me any ground for placing Tung-tzu in my black books.\n\nOur escort from Sungkan had consisted of a few men of the local magistrate's police, although the frontier districts are popularly supposed to be infested with brigands; but at Hsin-chan a body of soldiers arrived from Kueiyang as our escort to accompany us through the province. Mr. Shen informed me that the Governor of Kueichow had originally sent 200 soldiers from Kueiyang, but that a large number of them had found the marching too strenuous, and had dropped off at various places; so that our escort really numbered only some eighty men. Apart from such dignity as they were able to lend to the expedition, however, a dozen men would have been just as useful and more convenient.\n\nAt Tsun-yi (210 miles from Chungking) I rested the caravan for one day. I failed to meet the Roman Catholic priest in charge of the Tsun-yi mission, but Mr. and Mrs. Olesen, of the China Inland Mission, received me very kindly, and Mr. Olesen gave me much local information. He corroborated Père Drouhot's information regarding the official energy and the drastic steps that had been taken in the last three months to destroy every trace of the poppy crops. Many punishments had been inflicted, and any owner who was considered dilatory in uprooting and destroying his crop was punished by confiscation of his land. I visited one large temple, with grounds extending over several acres, which had been so confiscated; the land was marked off into lots, which had been sold or rented by the authorities to various schools and institutions for use as vegetable gardens. Rewards had been offered by the Chinese authorities for any poppy plant discovered in the district; and this had led to many cases of blackmail, chiefly by the soldiery. Many wild rumours had been rife in Tsun-yi as to the scope of the official inspection. One rumour had it that I should make a house-to-house visitation, and should severely punish any person suspected of being an opium smoker. As a result of this rumour many opium smokers had fled the town a day or two before my arrival. Another, still more ridiculous, rumour stated that Great Britain was arranging a peaceful acquisition of the three provinces of Szechuen, Kueichow, and Yunnan, and I was the pioneer to make the preliminary arrangements for taking over the provinces.\n\nMr. Olesen was on the point of making an extended journey in the north-east of Kueichow province; and I asked him to be good enough to let me know what conditions he found on his travels. He informs me that from Sze-nan to Chen-yuan conditions were much the same as in the Tsun-yi district - drastic official measures for suppression of the poppy crop and severe punishment of those disobeying the official instructions, the death penalty being inflicted in a few cases.\n\nThe road from Sungkan to Tsun-yi had been one continuous triumphal procession. Every village and town was decorated with flags, and triumphal arches of bamboo and evergreen were erected in the streets of the larger towns. I was clearly on the expected route. I had, however, satisfied myself that no flowering poppy had been seen as stated in Chungking, and I decided to turn my road towards the west. It was fairly clear that the Chinese expected me to visit the capital of the province, and that the country on the way thereto would be thoroughly cleared of any poppy in anticipation of my visit. On the evening before our departure from Tsun-yi, therefore, I signified to the Chinese delegates my intention of proceeding westwards. The delegates at once came to see me, objecting to my proposal, and saying that the westerly roads were bad and dangerous, and that part of the country was infested with brigands, and that there were no villages large enough to accommodate our party at night. I brushed aside these objections. Where there was a path we could go; where there were brigands we had our brave escort; where there was even a small village we",

        "content_text": "# Fociodical drydocking and machinery inspection\n\n## Clauses 9-35\n\n9. Should the steamer remain in the Admiralty service for more than six months from the date of her last drydocking, the Owners agree, if required by the Admiralty, at the expiration of such six months to place the steamer in drydock, to clean and paint her bottom, to open up or test under steam as may be considered necessary by the Admiralty Inspectors any parts of the machinery and boilers, and to make good any defects likely to interfere with satisfactory fulfilment of her continued service, all of which shall be done at Owners' expense, and the same at the expiration of every six months during the currency of this Charter.\n\nSuch drydocking and inspection shall take place at the port at which the steamer shall complete her voyage or at any other adjacent port as may be approved by the Admiralty. The hire shall cease from the time the steamer is available for drydocking at the port of drydocking until she is again placed at the disposal of the Admiralty at that port, ready to load and/or bunker and efficient for further service, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., but not on Sundays or public holidays nor after 1 p.m. on Saturdays, unless steamer sail or work be begun meantime.\n\nIn calculating the period off pay under this clause, an allowance of 48 running hours without stoppage of hire shall be granted in respect of each drydocking.\n\n10. If there is any misrepresentation as regards steamer's size, capabilities, and position, or if steamer has not arrived at the port of delivery or is not ready to load by or on the date specified, the Admiralty have the option of cancelling this Charter.\n\n11. Payment of Hire shall be made in England as follows:--\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for two months certain or more, one calendar month's hire in advance on the steamer entering into pay, half a month's hire at the end of the second month, half a month's hire at the end of the third month, and one month's further hire at the end of each succeeding completed month of service.\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for less than two months, the advance of hire to be made on the steamer entering into pay shall be for two-thirds of the hire for the period certain, such advance in no case to exceed the amount of one calendar month's hire, and the remaining payments shall be made as laid down above.\n\nIn all cases, such payments shall be considered as payments on account, and the balance of hire shall be paid on the passing in Office of the accounts, &c., to be rendered by the steamer, and on receipt of the Logs for the period (vide clause 24).\n\nPeriods off pay, and periods less than one calendar month at the expiration of this Charter shall be reckoned in days. A day's hire shall be calculated on the basis of 1/365 of twelve calendar months' hire of the steamer; and in case of inefficiency under clauses 9 and 25, any fraction of a day amounting to 12 hours or over shall count as one day off pay.\n\nClaims for hire and other expenses allowable under this Charter shall be rendered to the Director of Transports, Admiralty, S.W., on `Form T.191a`.\n\n12. The Owners shall provide and pay for all wages, provisions, including fuel for galley and Electric Light, and all other expenses in connection with the Master, Officers, Engineers, and Crew, for the insurance of the steamer, for all deck and engine-room stores, water for all purposes, for the proper ventilation of the cargo, for boats, for ballast necessary to enable the steamer to proceed with safety without cargo, and for the maintenance of the steamer in a thoroughly efficient state in hull and machinery for and during the service.\n\n13. The steamer shall sail under flags provided by the Admiralty, but the Owners shall provide the following flags, &c., for signalling: -\n| Item | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | A set of International Code Flags and the latest edition of the Signal Code. |\n| (b) | A pair of Hand Flags for Semaphoring messages in daylight. |\n| (c) | A Flashing Lamp for signalling at night (Morse Code). |\n| (d) | Signal Letters for British Ships. |\n\nThe Owners shall provide the Charts required for the safe navigation of the steamer according to the services on which she may from time to time be employed, and shall supply the necessary Compasses and Chronometer, in respect of which certificates from competent authorities shall be furnished that they are in good order and that a correct deviation table has been provided.\n\n14. The Admiralty shall be liable for all coal, or other fuel, except fuel for galley and Electric Light, and shall accept and pay for all fuel in steamer's bunkers at the time of delivery.\n\nThe Owners shall on entry into pay hand to the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port a certificate signed by the Master and Chief Engineer of the number of tons of fuel in the bunkers of the steamer, and its description.\n\nOn the expiration of the Charter, the Owners shall pay the Admiralty for all the fuel left in the bunkers.\n\nBoth such payments shall be made at the current market price at the respective ports.\n\n15. The Admiralty shall be liable for port charges, pilotage, lights, dues, necessary tug assistance, consular charges (except such as relate to Officers or Crew), Bills of Health, and overtime under conditions of clause 17, but the Owners shall without any charge against the Admiralty arrange through the Master or their Port Agents all such services in connection with the navigation and clearing of the steamer as if they were trading on their own account, pay the claims therefor, and reclaim from the Director of Transports such as are necessary and for Admiralty account, the claim for each service being supported by the receipted vouchers. All pilotage certificates must show the draft of water.\n\n16. When Great Britain is at peace, the Officers, Engineers, and every member of the Crew shall be British subjects. When Great Britain is at war, this stipulation is to be carried out so far as practicable, but in any case, Master, Officers, and Engineers must be British subjects, and members of the hostile nationality are to be excluded. At least one of the officers or men must be able to use the flashing lantern.\n\nA full list of the Crew with their rating and nationality shall be produced on the entry into pay of the steamer.\n\n17. The steamer shall work day and night if required, and the steam winches shall be at the service of the Admiralty by day and night with full steam when and as required. The same shall be worked free of cost by the Crew, which must contain efficient skilled hands to work all the winches on board at once in one shift. The Admiralty will repay overtime under such conditions as may be from time to time authorised.\n\n18. The Admiralty shall not be held liable if the steamer shall be lost, wrecked, driven on shore, injured, or rendered incapable of service by or in consequence of dangers of the sea or tempest, collision, fire, accident, stress of weather, or any other cause arising as a sea risk.\n\n19. The risks of war which are taken by the Admiralty are those risks which would be excluded from an ordinary English policy of marine insurance by the following, or similar, but not more extensive clause: -\n\n\"Warranted free of capture, seizure, and detention and the consequences thereof, or of any attempt thereat, piracy excepted, and also from all consequences of hostilities or warlike operations, whether before or after declaration of war.\"\n\nSuch risks are taken by the Admiralty on the ascertained value of the steamer, if she be totally lost, at the time of such loss, or, if she be injured, on the ascertained value of such injury.\n\nShould a dispute arise as to the value of the steamer, the same shall be settled as laid down in clause 31.\n\n20. In the event of any member of the Crew being killed or injured as a result of warlike operations in which Great Britain is engaged, the Admiralty agree to settle any lawful claims arising from such death or injury according to the scales laid down in the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, and the Owners shall be relieved of their liability under the Workman's Compensation Act, 1906, or other Acts in respect of such claims.\n\n21. The Master shall prosecute his voyages with the utmost despatch and shall render all customary assistance with ship's Crew and boats.\n\n22. The Master shall obey all orders and instructions which he may receive from the Admiralty, or from any Officer authorised by them, and shall in all respects comply with the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, but he shall be solely responsible (on behalf of the Owners) for the management, handling, and navigation of the steamer. He shall keep accounts of his cargoes as laid down in the above-named Instructions, and the Admiralty hereby agree to indemnify the Owner from all consequences or liabilities that may arise from the Master signing Bills of Lading, as well as from any irregularity in Ship's papers consequent thereon, except as laid down in clause 27.\n\nThe Admiralty shall not be held responsible for losses sustained through the negligence of Pilots, Tug-boats, Stevedores, or others employed by them, the Owners recognising them as their servants even if appointed and paid by the Admiralty or the Agents of the Admiralty (but see also clause 26).\n\n23. If the Admiralty shall have reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the Master, Officers, or Engineers, the Owners shall, on receiving particulars of the complaint, investigate the same, and, if necessary, make a change in the appointments.\n\n24. The Master shall be furnished, from time to time, by the Admiralty, with all requisite instructions and sailing directions in writing, and shall keep a full and correct Log of the voyage or voyages, which is to be forwarded quarterly to the Admiralty. (See also clause 11.)\n\n25. If from deficiency of man or stores, breakdown of machinery, or any other cause, the working of the steamer is at any time suspended for a period exceeding twelve running hours, pay shall cease for the whole of such and any subsequent period of whatever duration during which the vessel is inefficient. (See also clause 11.)\n\nAny work that may be done during a period of partial inefficiency of the steamer, except proceeding to a port for repairs or to replenish bunker coals owing to accident, shall be paid for on the basis of the time it would have occupied had the steamer remained efficient. If upon the voyage her speed be reduced by a defect in or breakdown of any part of her machinery, damage to propeller, rudder, or by any other mishap of hull or engines or cargo, the time so lost and the cost of any extra coal consumed in consequence thereof shall be deducted from the hire; but should the steamer be driven into port or to anchorage by stress of weather or for coals, such detention or loss of time shall be at the Admiralty expense. In the event, however, of breakdown at sea or other accident necessitating the steamer proceeding to a port of refuge for repairs, or to replace or land crew, hire to cease until the steamer arrives back in a similar position to that in which she was at the time of the breakdown or accident, &c., and any coals used to be replaced or paid for by Owners, whichever Admiralty may elect.\n\nIf through accident, any part of the cargo or bunkers have to be discharged, the time occupied in discharging and reloading same to be deducted from the hire.\n\nAny time so lost shall count as part of the term of charter named in clauses 2 and 7, but the Admiralty have the option of keeping the steamer for an additional period equivalent to the whole or part of the time lost.\n\n26. Throughout this Charter, losses or damages, whether in respect of goods carried or to be carried or in other respects, arising or occasioned by the following causes shall be absolutely excepted, viz.: - The act of God, perils of the seas, fire on board, in hulk, craft, or on shore, barratry of the Master or Crew, enemies, pirates, robbers, or thieves, arrests and restraints of princes, rulers, and peoples, collisions and strandings, explosions, burstings of boilers, breakage of shafts, or any latent defect, even if existing at the beginning of the voyage, in the hull, boilers, machinery, or appurtenances, negligence, default, or error of judgment of the Pilot, Master, or Crew, or other servants of the Owners, in the management or navigation of the steamer.\n\n27. Except as limited in clauses 25 and 43, the Owners will be held strictly accountable for the value of and liable to the Admiralty for any loss or damage to coal, oil fuel, collier, and oil fuel outfits, signalling stores, &c., and all other Government stores of whatever description which may be shipped, whether as cargo or for use on board, in charge of the Master, who will be required to sign Bill of Lading and/or give receipts for same, and will be responsible for receipts given or Bills of Lading signed by the Mates for same.\n\nThe Owners will be held responsible for the safe and proper stowage of Government stores. If hired labour is employed for stowage, the expense will be borne by the Admiralty.\n\nThe stores will be shipped under the supervision of the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port, but this will not relieve the Owners of their responsibility for stowage.\n\n28. The steamer has liberty to assist vessels in distress, and to deviate for the purpose of saving life.\n\nAll salvage to be for Owners' benefit, but ship to be deemed off pay during the time occupied in salvage operations, and cost of coal consumed in such operations and port charges and expenses to be for Owners' account.\n\n29.

General average shall be settled according to York-Antwerp Rules, 1890, but the Admiralty shall not be called upon to sign bonds or pay deposits, as Owners of British ships have no lien on Government stores and cannot detain them.\n\n33. The steamer shall not be ordered nor proceed to any port where fever or pestilence is prevalent, nor where quarantine is in force (except at Admiralty risk and expense), but the Owners shall be liable for any delay of quarantine arising from sickness of the Master or Crew, if the vessel has not been sent to a quarantined port.\n\n34. The wages paid to Crew employed under this Charter Party shall be not less than those current at the port on the date of signing-on.\n\n35. In pursuance of Act 22 Geo. III. Cap. XLV., no Member of the House of Commons is to be admitted to any share or part in this Charter or to any benefit to arise therefrom.\n\n## SPECIAL CLAUSES - COLLIERS\n\n(Not applicable to Oilers)\n\n36. Colliers must be supplied with the necessary derricks, winches, &c., complete with the required 24-inch wire whips and other ropes, blocks, and fittings for the speedy and efficient discharge of cargo.\n\nIn colliers fitted with double derricks and winches, the following gear for coaling whips shall be provided for each pair of derricks: -\n| Item | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | Two flexible steel wire 2-inch ropes, each sufficiently long to reach any part of the hold, with either derrick topped over the collier's hold and the other swung over the vessel being coaled. In addition, two spare whips for each pair of derricks should be carried. |\n|  | Four iron blocks capable of taking 2-inch wire rope and tested to six tons, viz.: - One block at the heel of each derrick and one (which should be self) at the head. |\n|  | One swivel cargo hook constructed so as not to catch the coamings, &c. |\n\nPage 381 \n3",

Broken periods. A day's hire. Claims: how to be rendered. Owners' liabilities. Plaza signalling. Navigation requisites. Admiralty liabilities, Miscellaneous.\n\n9. Should the steamer remain in the Admiralty service for more than six months from the date of her last drydocking, the Owners agree, if required by the Admiralty, at the expiration of such six months to place the steamer in drydock, to clean and paint her bottom, to open up or test under steam as may be considered necessary by the Admiralty Inspectors any parts of the machinery and boilers, and to make good any defects likely to interfere with satisfactory fulfilment of her continued service, all of which shall be done at Owners' expense, and the same at the expiration of every six months during the currency of this Charter.\n\nSuch drydocking and inspection shall take place at the port at which the steamer shall complete her voyage or at such other adjacent port as may be approved by the Admiralty. The hire shall cease from the time the steamer is available for drydocking at the port of drydocking until she is again placed at the disposal of the Admiralty at that port, ready to load and/or bunker and efficient for further service, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., but not on Sundays or public holidays nor after 1 p.m. on Saturdays, unless steamer sail or work be begun meantime.\n\nIn calculating the period of pay under this clause an allowance of 48 running hours without stoppage of hire shall be credited in respect of each drydocking.\n\n10. If there is any misrepresentation as regards steamer's size, capabilities, and position, or if steamer has not arrived at the port of delivery or is not ready to load by or on the date specified, the Admiralty have the option of cancelling this Charter.\n\n11. Payment of Hire shall be made in England as follows:-\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for two months certain or more, one calendar month's hire in advance on the steamer entering into pay, half a month's hire at the end of the second month, half a month's hire at the end of the third month, and one month's further hire at the end of each succeeding completed month of service.\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for less than two months, the advance of hire to be made on the steamer entering into pay shall be for two-thirds of the hire for the period certain, such advance in no case to exceed the amount of one calendar month's hire, and the remaining payments shall be made as laid down above.\n\nIn all cases such payments shall be considered as payments on account, and the balance of hire shall be paid on the passing in Office of the accounts, &c., to be rendered by the steamer, and on receipt of the Logs for the period (vide clause 24).\n\nPeriods of pay, and periods less than one calendar month at the expiration of this Charter shall be reckoned in days. A day's hire shall be calculated on the basis of 1/365 of twelve calendar months' hire of the steamer; and in case of inefficiency under clauses 9 and 25, any fraction of a day amounting to 12 hours or over shall count as one day off pay.\n\nClaims for hire and other expenses allowable under this Charter shall be rendered to the Director of Transports, Admiralty, S.W., on Form T. 191.\n\n12. The Owner shall provide and pay for all wages, provisions, including fuel for galley and Electric Light, and all other expenses in connection with the Master, Officers, Engineers and Crew, for the insurance of the steamer, for all deck and engine-room stores, water for all purposes, for the proper ventilation of the cargo, for boats, for ballast necessary to enable the steamer to proceed with safety without cargo, and for the maintenance of the steamer in a thoroughly efficient state in hull and machinery for and during the service.\n\n13. The steamer shall sail under signal provided by the Admiralty, but the Owners shall provide the following flags, &c., for signalling:\n\n(a) A set of International Code Flags and the latest edition of the Signal Code.\n\n(b) A pair of Hand Flags for Semaphoring messages in daylight.\n\n(c) A Flashing Lamp for signalling at night (Morse Code).\n\n(d) Signal Letters for British Ships.\n\nThe Owners shall provide the Charts required for the safe navigation of the steamer according to the services on which she may from time to time be employed, and shall supply the necessary Compasses and Chronometers, in respect of which certificates from competent authorities shall be furnished that they are in good order and that a correct deviation table has been provided.\n\n14. The Admiralty shall be liable for all coal, or other fuel, except fuel for galley and Electric Light, and shall accept and pay for all fuel in steamer's bunkers at the time of delivery.\n\nOn the expiration of the Charter the Owners shall pay the Admiralty for all the fuel left in the bunkers. Both such payments shall be made at the current market price at the respective ports.\n\nThe Owners shall on entry into pay hand to the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port a certificate signed by the Master and Chief Engineer of the number of tons of fuel in the bunkers of the steamer, and its description.\n\n15. The Admiralty shall be liable for port charges, pilotages, lights, dues, necessary tug assistance, consular charges (except such as relate to Officers or Crew), Bills of Health, and overtime under conditions of clause 17, but the Owners shall without any charge against the Admiralty arrange through the Master or their Port Agents all such services in connection with the navigation and clearing of the steamer as if they were trading on their own account, pay the claims therefor and reclaim from the Director of Transports such as are necessary and for Admiralty account, the claim for each service being supported by the receipted vouchers. All pilotage certificates must show the draft of water.\n\n16. When Great Britain is at peace the Officers, Engineers, and every member of the Crew shall be British subjects. When Great Britain is at war this stipulation is to be carried out so far as practicable, but in any case, Master, Officers and Engineers must be British subjects, and members of the hostile nationality are to be excluded. At least one of the officers or men must be able to use the Bashing lantern.\n\nA full list of the Crew with their rating and nationality shall be produced on the entry into pay of the steamer.\n\n17. The steamer shall work day and night if required and the steam winches shall be at the service of the Admiralty by day and night with full steam when and as required. The same shall be worked free of cost by the Crew, which must contain sufficient skilled hands to work all the winches on board at once in one shift. The Admiralty will repay overtime under such conditions as may be from time to time authorised.\n\n18. The Admiralty shall not be held liable if the steamer shall be lost, wrecked, driven on shore, injured or rendered incapable of service by or in consequence of dangers of the sea or tempest, collision, fire, accident, stress of weather or any other cause arising as a sea risk.\n\n19. The risks of war which are taken by the Admiralty are those risks which would be excluded from an ordinary English policy of marine insurance by the following, or similar, but not more extensive clause:\n\nWarranted free of capture, seizure, and detention and the consequences thereof, or of any attempt thereat, piracy excepted, and also from all consequences of hostilities or warlike operations, whether before or after declaration of war.\n\nSuch risks are taken by the Admiralty on the ascertained value of the steamer, if she be totally lost, at the time of such loss, or, if she be injured, on the ascertained value of such injury.\n\nShould a dispute arise as to the value of the steamer the same shall be settled as laid down in clause 31.\n\n20. In the event of any member of the Crew being killed or injured as a result of warlike operations in which Great Britain is engaged, the Admiralty agree to settle any lawful claims arising from such death or injury according to the scale laid down in the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, and the Owners shall be relieved of their liability under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906, or other Acts in respect of such claims.\n\n21. The Master shall prosecute his voyages with the utmost despatch and skill and render all customary assistance with ship's Crew and boats.\n\n22. The Master shall obey all orders and instructions which he may receive from the Admiralty, or from any Officer authorised by them, and shall in all respects comply with the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, but he shall be solely responsible (on behalf of the Owners) for the management, handling, and navigation of the steamer. He shall keep accounts of his cargoes as laid down in the above-named Instructions and the Admiralty hereby agree to indemnify the Owners from all consequences or liabilities that may arise from the Master signing Bills of Lading, as well as from any irregularity in Ship's papers consequent thereon, except as laid down in clause 27.\n\nThe Admiralty shall not be held responsible for losses sustained through the negligence of Pilots, Tug-boats, Stevedores, or others employed by them, the Owners recognising them as their servants even if appointed and paid by the Admiralty or the Agents of the Admiralty (but see also clause 25).\n\n23. If the Admiralty shall have reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the Master, Officers, or Engineers, the Owners shall, on receiving particulars of the complaint, investigate the same, and, if necessary, make a change in the appointments.\n\n24. The Master shall be furnished, from time to time, by the Admiralty, with all requisite instructions and sailing directions in writing, and shall keep a full and correct Log of the voyage or voyages which is to be forwarded quarterly to the Admiralty. (See also clause 11.)\n\n25. If from deficiency of men or stores, breakdown of machinery, or any other cause, the working of the steamer is at any time suspended for a period exceeding twelve running hours, pay shall cease for the whole of such and any subsequent period of whatever duration during which the vessel is inefficient. (See also clause 11.)\n\nAny work that may be done during a period of partial inefficiency of the steamer, except proceeding to a port for repairs or to replenish bunker coals owing to accident shall be paid for on the basis of the time it would have occupied had the steamer remained efficient. If upon the voyage her speed be reduced by a defect in or breakdown of any part of her machinery, damage to propeller, rudder or by any other mishap of hull or engines or cargo, the time so lost and the cost of any extra coal consumed in consequence thereof shall be deducted from the hire; but should the steamer be driven into port or to anchorage by stress of weather or for coals, such detention or loss of time shall be at the Admiralty expense. In the event, however, of breakdown at sea or other accident necessitating the steamer proceeding to a port of refuge for repairs, or to replace or land crew, hire to cease until the steamer arrives back in a similar position to that in which she was at the time of the breakdown or accident, &c., and any coals used to be replaced or paid for by Owners, whichever Admiralty may elect.\n\nIf through accident any part of the cargo or bunkers have to be discharged, the time occupied in discharging and reloading same to be deducted from the hire.\n\nAny time so lost shall count as part of the term of charter named in clauses 2 and 7, but the Admiralty have the option of keeping the steamer for an additional period equivalent to the whole or part of the time lost.\n\n26. Throughout this Charter losses or damages whether in respect of goods carried or to be carried or in other respects arising or occasioned by the following causes shall be absolutely excepted, viz.:-The act of God, perils of the seas, fire on board, in hull, craft, or on shore, barratry of the Master or Crew, enemies, pirates, robbers, or thieves, arrests and restraints of princes, rulers, and peoples, collisions and strandings, explosions, bursting of boilers, breakage of shafts, or any latent defect, even if existing at the beginning of the voyage, in the hull, boilers, machinery, or appurtenances, negligence, default, or error of judgment of the Pilot, Master, or Crew, or other servants of the Owners, in the management or navigation of the steamer.\n\n27. Except as limited in clauses 26 and 43, the Owners will be held strictly accountable for the value of and liable to the Admiralty for any loss or damage to coal, oil fuel, collier and oil fuel outfits, signalling stores, &c., and all other Government stores of whatever description which may be shipped, whether as cargo or for use on board, in charge of the Master, who will be required to sign Bills of Lading and/or give receipts for same, and will be responsible for receipts given or Bills of Lading signed by the Mates for same.\n\nThe Owners will be held responsible for the safe and proper stowage of Government stores. If hired labour is employed for stowage, the expense will be borne by the Admiralty.\n\nThe stores will be shipped under the supervision of the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port, but this will not relieve the Owners of their responsibility for stowage.\n\n28. The steamer has liberty to assist vessels in distress, and to deviate for the purpose of saving life.\n\nAll salvage to be for Owners' benefit, but ship to be off pay during the time occupied in salvage operations, and cost of coal consumed in such operations and port charges and expenses to be for Owners' account.\n\n29.

Boyd and Lewer, also informed me that they frequently visited the villages on the Kaihua plain, but had seen no opium-poppy cultivation there this spring.\n\nVillagers on this part of my journey complained of lack of rain; the very skimpy crops testified to the state of drought which I found along a considerable tract of country in Eastern Yunnan. But the country itself is so stony and full of rocks that even with favourable weather conditions crops could never be anything but poor. Among the rough hills I occasionally saw Lolo women planting out paddy.\n\nGoitre is very prevalent in this district, especially among women.\n\nBeyond Kailua, to Ma-kuan (40 miles), the country was still very hilly and rough; villages were few and far between, and cultivation thin and poor. A great deal of pine scrub thinly covers the country in this district. Crops now included sugar-cane.\n\nThe rainy season was now setting in in earnest, and we were on the point of descending from the Yunnan plateau to the valleys near the Tonkin border, notorious for its fever and malaria. Coolies were daily falling out sick; and the Taoyin again endeavoured to induce me to change the route in the direction of the railway. I was obdurate, however, and by pressing on managed to reach Hokow, 93 miles from Makuan, in four days.\n\nOn the second day we reached Hsin-tien, a Chinese fort close to the Tonkin frontier. The height here above sea-level was 4,420 ft. Next day we commenced to descend, rapidly reaching tropical heat and vegetation. Putting up for the night in a small Lolo village, we were able to arrive on the following evening at Hokow, which town adjoins the French town of Laokai. The inhabitants of the country between Hsin-tien and Hokow are chiefly frontier tribes; the country is wild and uncultivated, except in the immediate vicinity of the villages. Some maize was being grown in the lower country.\n\nIn my direct route through Eastern Yunnan I traversed 484 miles. This does not include the excursions I made each evening from our day's destination. I saw no opium-poppy cultivation, nor did I see many signs of fields from which poppy may have been uprooted prior to my arrival. I am of opinion that in any case Eastern Yunnan is a particularly poor and arid country; that it is sparsely inhabited by a very poor type of native; and that its possibilities as an opium-growing district are conspicuously small compared to other parts of China.\n\nI append an itinerary* of my route through Eastern Yunnan, and also a map† with the route indicated.\n\n## Page 61\n\nSir,\n\n**Enclosure 5 in No. 29.**\n\n**Consul Tours to Mr. Alston.**\n\nIchang, July 12, 1917.\n\nIN accordance with your telegraphic instructions, I have inspected the province of Kueichow for opium-poppy cultivation, and I now have the honour to enclose herewith my report thereupon.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**Enclosure 6 in No. 29.**\n\nB. G. TOURS.\n\n**Report of an Inspection of the Province of Kueichow, to learn the Amount of Cultivation of Opium Poppy.**\n\nUNDER instructions from His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking, sent to me by telegram dated the 3rd March, 1917, I left Ichang on the 10th March, and, travelling via Chungking, reached the Ssu-chuan-Kueichow border on the 5th April. Arrangements had been made through His Majesty's consul at Chungking that the Chinese official delegates for the inspection of Kueichow province for opium-poppy cultivation should meet me at Sungkan, a town due south from Chungking, lying 3 or 4 miles within the Kueichow border. The delegates met me at midday on the 5th April at a village just inside the provincial boundary. They were four in number, the special commissioner being Mr. Shen Chi, director of the land office at Kueiyang. Mr. Shen is a native of Chekiang, 35 years old, and a graduate of the military college in Japan. He was formerly commissioner in the Bureau for Suppression of Opium poppy in Chekiang province. Of the three assistant-commissioners only one, Mr. Chien Chih-wan, took any prominent part in the inspection. Mr. Chien is also from Chekiang, 30 years old. His post is secretary in the Kueiyang post-office; he was formerly Deputy for Foreign Affairs at the port of Wenchow.\n\nOn arrival at Sungkan I found the town gay with flags and the streets thronged with people. Semi-military bands, chiefly recruited from the schools, joined our cavalcade outside the town, and played us into our destination for the day—a yamên of the Salt Administration. On arrival I held a conference with the Chinese delegates to settle our daily procedure; but the only point on which they appeared at all interested was the route which I proposed to take through the province. I told the delegates that the route depended on so many things, such as our rate of progress and weather conditions, that it was impossible to lay down any fixed route. We arranged some minor points regarding the daily despatch of the luggage caravan at A.M. and our own daily departure at 7 A.M., and to these hours we adhered throughout the journey.\n\nI had decided in my own mind to proceed to Tsun-yi, although I felt tolerably certain that that was the route designed by the Chinese authorities. My reason for this was that it had been reported in Chungking that a priest of the Roman Catholic Mission in Kueiyang had travelled from Kueiyang to Chungking via Tsun-yi in December and early January, and had seen a considerable amount of opium poppy in flower along the route. I had great doubts as to the possibility of the correctness of this statement, the flowering season in Kueichow being April in a forward season and May in a late season. However, the statement had been made so definitely that I deemed it advisable to travel over the priest's route as far as Tsun-yi. I was, however, very soon satisfied, from the state of the crops generally, that no flowering had been seen in January, and that flowering could scarcely have commenced in early April, the season this year being a late one.\n\nFrom Sungkan to Tsun-yi (83 miles) the country consists of gently rolling hills and fertile valleys, all thickly cultivated. The main crops were beans, rape, and peas, in the order named; all were just coming into flower, and looked very strong and healthy. A good number of fields were cropless, and I looked carefully for any signs of destruction of young poppy plants, but if there had been much destruction the work had been thoroughly carried out, so that not a vestige remained except the bare fields.\n\nAt Tung-tzu, half-way between Sungkan and Tsun-yi, I found a Roman Catholic mission, and I called on the resident priest, Père Drouhot, who told me that in January stringent orders were issued for the destruction of all opium poppy plants in the neighbourhood. Severe punishments were inflicted on those who did not immediately comply, and three of the more recalcitrant planters were killed by shooting. As a result of these stern measures all the poppy crops had entirely disappeared, and Père Drouhot was of the opinion that not a single plant remained growing for many miles round Tung-tzu. I told him the Chungking story of poppy flower having been seen in Kueichow in January, and he said there must be a mistake, as such a thing was impossible. He mentioned that the T'ung-tzu officials had been much exercised in mind over my visit, and were very desirous to receive me well and not to give me any ground for placing Tung-tzu in my black books.\n\nOur escort from Sungkan had consisted of a few men of the local magistrate's police, although the frontier districts are popularly supposed to be infested with brigands; but at Hsin-chan a body of soldiers arrived from Kueiyang as our escort to accompany us through the province. Mr. Shen informed me that the Governor of Kueichow had originally sent 200 soldiers from Kueiyang, but that a large number of them had found the marching too strenuous, and had dropped off at various places; so that our escort really numbered only some eighty men. Apart from such dignity as they were able to lend to the expedition, however, a dozen men would have been just as useful and more convenient.\n\nAt Tsun-yi (210 miles from Chungking) I rested the caravan for one day. I failed to meet the Roman Catholic priest in charge of the Tsun-yi mission, but Mr. and Mrs. Olesen, of the China Inland Mission, received me very kindly, and Mr. Olesen gave me much local information. He corroborated Père Drouhot's information regarding the official energy and the drastic steps that had been taken...",

My direction to the Jury was that if they accepted the evidence of Capt. Morgan as a whole they would be entitled to convict beyond reasonable doubt. They now ask me if they have any right to convict, irrespective of the fact of whether as he fired the shot fired\n\nThe Attorney-General: At this stage, I should like to refer to Capt. Morgan's evidence. He did not actually see the prisoner fire the shot. He saw there; he saw the smoke.\n\na man\n\nMr. Jenkin: A wisp of smoke, and he never saw him throw away the revolver and there is evidence, contra, that somebody else fired the shot. Running away is not murder.\n\nThe Chief Justice (continuing his reply to Mr. Jenkin): You have your remedy in a petition to His Majesty's Privy Council. I see no reason whatever for reserving the point.\n\nMr. Jenkin: May I apply to your Lordship—I do not quite know what is the usual practice—that the judgment on this man be suspended while I make this application?\n\nThe Chief Justice: I see no reason whatever to suspend it. I shall certainly pass sentence upon him.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Certainly my Lord; if that is your Lordship's opinion I shall sit down.\n\nSENTENCE PASSED.\n\nThe prisoner was then asked, in the usual form, if he had anything to say why judgment should not be passed upon him. He said he had, but he wanted to make his statement from the witness-box.\n\n\"No, you cannot do that,\" said the Judge. \"What you wish to say you must say from there.\"\n\nThe prisoner then began to repeat the evidence he had already given. After some sentences of this, the Judge said, \"You have told us all this before. Unless you have anything to say in addition, it is a waste of time.\"\n\nPrisoner: In that case I have nothing else to say, but I must ask you to act according to reason.\n\nThe Judge: Is that all?\n\nPrisoner: I do not know how to say anything else. I must leave the matter in your hands, to have mercy on me and to do things according to reason.\n\nThe Judge then donned the black cap and addressed the Prisoner:\n\nLeung Wo.—The Jury, after a very patient hearing and after a very able defence on your behalf, have found you guilty of murder, and in that verdict I entirely concur. It was a dastardly crime and you took away the life of a man, for some motive best known to you, and, so far as we know, a man who had done you no harm. For the offence of murder there is only one punishment known to the law and it is my duty to pass sentence upon you. Sentence of death was then pronounced.\n\nI committed no offence: I must say something more before I die.\"\n\nThe Chief Justice ordered him to be removed: he resisted violently and in spite of his small stature it took three or four burly policemen to remove him to the cells below the dock.\n\nThe Court rose at a few minutes past six o'clock.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT —\n\nTHE AMOY BOYCOTT WITHDRAWN.\n\nDISPUTE THAT DRAGGED ON FOR FOUR MONTHS.\n\nThe N.-C. Daily News of March 4th says:-\n\nWe are pleased to announce that a settlement has been arrived at in the Amoy dispute. Yesterday a telegram was received by Messrs. Butterfield & Swire stating that the boycott had been completely withdrawn. The terms of settlement have not yet been received. It would seem that much credit for the settlement is due to Mr. Eastes, who was recently appointed to Amoy as Consul in the place of Mr. Tours, who has gone on home leave, and judging from the tone of a telegram despatched to Shanghai by the People's Association of Amoy, his manner of approaching the subject placated the more restless of the Chinese and smoothed the way for a settlement. Of course, Mr. Eastes had the advantage of coming absolutely new to the crisis, untrammelled by all that had gone before.\n\nThe dispute has dragged on since about the middle of November last, when objection was taken to the construction of a pier connecting the B. & S. hulk and the Bund. As we have already shown, Messrs. Butterfield & Swire were perfectly within their rights in undertaking this work, and it was not until some time afterwards that the discovery was made that the real cause of the agitation was the existence of walls constructed for purposes of defence on the boundary of the British concession and the Chinese city. Thus Messrs. Butterfield & Swire were made the victims of a dispute which really concerned only the British Consulate officials and the Chinese.\n\n  \n    It is now understood that an agreement to remove the offending walls paved the way to a compromise, and it is to be hoped that the matter has been settled once and for all. Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's shipments of goods to Amoy will be resumed at the end of the present week.\n  \n\nESTIMATE OF JAPAN'S WEALTH.\n\nPREPARED FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS.\n\nThe Asahi says that the Japanese Government, in compliance with a request from the Board of Councillors of the League of Nations at Geneva, appointed a special Commission to fix the standard valuation of the wealth of Japan and make a report to the League.\n\nSome time ago Sir Eric Drummond, of the Board of Councillors of the League, through Viscount Ishii, Japanese Ambassador in Paris, asked the Tokyo Government to present statistics showing the wealth of Japan, and accordingly the Government instructed the Census Bureau to make investigations.\n\n  \n    35\n    225\n  \n\nInvestigations made by the Census Bureau last year show that the wealth of Japan is valued at Y.86,077,070,000. This shows an increase of Y.54,034,140,000 as compared with the year valuation in 1913, before the outbreak of the war. Of the total cost above, the land in Japan Proper, Formosa and other over-seas territories is valued at Y.33,085,660,000, the mines at Y.6,412,820,000 and buildings at Y.8,560,060,000, while the lake, rivers, gulfs, etc., are valued at Y.4,598,980,000. Gold and silver coins and bullion are put at Y.2,359,910,000. The property of the Court Imperial is estimated at Y.345,942,900, of which the land is valued at Y.307,510,100, buildings at Y.14,440,300, furniture, etc., at Y.7,220,100, and live-stock at Y.298,800.\n\nJAPAN'S ATTITUDE IN CHINA.\n\nGENERAL HIGASHI'S STATEMENT.\n\nSTRICT NEUTRALITY IN CHINESE POLITICS.\n\nPEKING, March 9th.\n\nThe following statement by General Higashi, Japanese Military Attaché in Peking:-\n\nSince Marshal Tuan Chih-jui removed his residence to Tientsin some time ago there have been in circulation all sorts of rumours regarding his motive and activities, and some of the Chinese papers from time to time circulated reports purporting to show that some Japanese Militarists were behind the alleged activities of Marshal Tuan and his followers. In some instances my name was mentioned as being in the alleged Japanese support of one party or the other.\n\nIt was reported by a Shanghai paper that Colonel Honjo, of Mukden, came to Peking some time ago to act as intermediary between Marshal Tuan Chi-jui, Marshal Chang Tso-lin and Mr. Liang Shih-yi and myself to secure Japanese military assistance in an alliance to be formed against General Wu Pei-fu and his party. It was also reported in another paper that I was involved in a scheme to transport Chinese arms kept in Shanghai to Hunan with a view to giving assistance to General Chao Hung-ti.\n\n\"These are only a few examples of the astounding stories that have been circulated by some interested party to alienate Japan from one party or the other. The fallacy of these reports is fully proved by the fact that Colonel Honjo has never been in Peking during the last seven or eight years, and that I have never been asked by anybody to assist in the alleged transport of arms to Hunan. Apparently there is a force at work all the time, which is trying to benefit itself by circulating these baseless reports.\n\n\"It is hardly necessary to point out that the attitude of the Japanese Government on the political situation in China is one of strict neutrality. When the reports of Marshal Tuan Chih-jui's removal to Tientsin reached Tokio the Japanese Government semi-officially announced its intention to remain strictly neutral on the situation.\n\n\"Friendly neutrality towards the political situation in China is not only the declared attitude of the Japanese Government but is also the unanimous demand of public opinion in Japan, and it is needless to repeat here that the Japanese Military Representatives in China are acting strictly in accordance with instructions from their Home Government. In fact, it is impossible for them to act otherwise.\"",

Whatever works may be constructed, ships must get into the open away from wharves during typhoons.\n\n(b). Except during typhoons, ships can at all times lie safely at wharves in any part of the Harbour.\"\n\nIt would therefore appear that the effect of typhoon seas must be considered with relation to the wharves, not to steamers moored alongside at such times.\n\nBased on the general principles for the design of ports, there is no question as to the desirability of making provision for the dispersion of seas which may pass their entrance. In the case of Hong Kong, good natural provision exists within Lyemun Pass and to a lesser extent at the Western entrance, and whilst it is not possible to state definitely to what extent the entrance of heavy seas affect disturbance in the harbour, observations would indicate that the direction and force of wind and not heavy seas are the factors which influence the safety of ocean-going craft. In this respect, I can testify personally that in 1923 when a wind velocity of 130 miles per hour was recorded, the waves within the harbour were of no great magnitude, the crest of the waves being apparently cut off by the wind force. There can be little doubt that the effect of sea action is unimportant except in the direction of the wind by which it is propagated, and it is difficult to conceive that any sea disturbance or wave action within the harbour caused by a typhoon, if deflected, could force itself to windward against\n\na typhoon gale. I agree, however, that such deflection would probably cause an increased disturbance in its",

The possibility is very remote of any disturbance caused alongside the quay wall at North Point by the N.E. monsoon affecting wharfage constructed in Hung Hom Bay.\n\nObjections (a) & (b) apparently do not apply to the special conditions affecting the development of the North Point foreshore. As regards Objection (c), the Consulting Engineers' views have been accepted to the extent that a properly constructed solid block work wall will not suffer damage from any seas within the Harbour, also, that ships must get into the open away from wharves during typhoon weather. Accordingly, the proposal for constructing reinforced concrete wharfage in front of an ordinary type sea wall at North Point has been abandoned and a quay wall constructed in solid blockwork substituted therefor. This necessitated a slight modification in the seaward limit of the reclamation shown on plan \"A\", in order to arrange for suitable berthage and that the quay wall may be founded at economical depths.\n\nThe modified line of frontage is shown on plan \"B\".\n\nThe scheme shown on plan \"B\" is that referred to in Mr. Duncan's report dated December 1924 on the Commercial Development of the Port of Hong Kong.

There I saw the body of Leung Hong.\n\n1375. Did you identify that body in the presence of a European doctor? That is correct.\n\n(Witness left the witness box.)\n\n1376. Twenty-second Witness. Reginald Robert Helbert, duly sworn, states:—\n1377. Mr. Whyatt: You are a Lieutenant-Commander in the Royal Navy? Yes.\n1378. And at present you are attached to the Commodore's staff in Hong Kong? Yes.\n1379. You have served for 21 years in the Navy have you not? Yes.\n1380. And of these 21 years 16 years of your service have been in submarines?\n1381. And for 10 years you have been in command of submarines? Yes.\n1382. Should I be right in describing you as a specialist in that type of naval craft? Yes.\n\n1383. I take it that you have been in submarines in various parts of the world? Yes, parts.\n1384. Including the China Station? Yes.\n\n55 \n\n[22nd witness Reginald Robert Helbert.]\n\n1399. Supposing once again you were cruising off the South China Coast and you saw a submarine with a white band and a black band and another white band painted on the conning tower, could you from these indications form any view as to its nationality? I should feel inclined to believe it was a Japanese submarine.\n1400. Why do you say that? Because they use that type of marking very extensively in their fleet, and they seem to show a marked preference for showing that type of marking.\n\n1401. We all know that the chief armament carried by submarines is the torpedo. Do submarines carry any other type of armament? Yes, they carry guns, three-inch or four-inch, and sometimes of larger calibre, and portable machine guns, and rifles.\n\n1402. I am chiefly interested in guns. Can you tell me where they carry the guns on a submarine? Normally a submarine has one gun-just before the conning tower on the deck.\n\n1403. Most submarines are equipped with one gun?\n\n1385. Are you familiar with naval craft operating in the China Seas? Most familiar.\n1386. And in particular with submarine craft operating in those seas? Yes.\n\n1387. I want to ask you first of all about the colour of submarines. Can you tell me from your experience what colour submarines are usually painted? Usually grey, from a dark grey to a light silver grey, rather depending on the nature of the operations the submarine may be engaged upon.\n\n1388. Are you speaking only of the British Navy? No, of all navies.\n\n1389. The next matter I want to ask you about is with regard to certain distinguishing marks which I understand are carried on hulls of submarines by hulls I mean that part of the submarine which is visible when she is not submerged, excluding the conning tower-is it the practice in certain navies to paint numerals on the hulls of submarines? It is not a general practice in the British Navy, nor as far as I know in the American Navy.\n\n1390. Can you tell me a navy that does adopt this practice? Yes, the Japanese Navy.\n1391. Is that an invariable practice in the Japanese Navy? As far as I know it is an invariable practice in the Japanese Navy.\n\n1392. What sort of numerals do they use? Arabic.\n1393. Whereabouts do they usually paint these numerals? On the hull before the conning tower tending towards the bow.\n\n1394. Supposing you were cruising off the South China Coast, and supposing you saw a submarine with an Arabic numeral No. 7 painted on the hull, would you from your experience and knowledge be able to form any opinion as to the nationality of that submarine? My first impression would be that it was a Japanese submarine but I would require more definite evidence than that.\n\n1395. I want to have your opinion on another matter. Is it the practice of some navies to paint white bands or black bands on their vessels? Yes, it is done in most navies. For instance in the British Navy our destroyers have bands painted round the funnels to designate their flotilla.\n\n1396. Chairman: Only round the funnels? Yes, only on the funnels.\n1397. Only on destroyers? Yes, only on destroyers.\n\n1398. Mr. Whyatt: Is this practice of painting white bands or black bands on naval craft used to a limited extent, or is it extensively used? More extensively than limited-most extensively, I might say, in the Japanese Navy. They paint them on their cruisers and destroyers, but I cannot be definite about their submarines.\n\n1404. You say normally a submarine has one gun-what do you mean by \"normally\"? In some cases, especially in foreign navies, some submarines are built with two guns-one before and one abaft the conning tower, but that is most unusual and is usually in the largest and most modern submarines.\n\nI gather it is very unusual for submarines to be equipped with two guns? Yes.\n\n1405. If you were to see a submarine off the South China Coast equipped with one gun, there would be nothing unusual in that? No.\n\n1406. If on the other hand you were to see a submarine off the South China Coast equipped with two guns, that would be a rare sight? Yes, a most unusual sight.\n1407. Would you be able to form any opinion as to its nationality? Yes, I should be very much inclined to believe it was a Japanese submarine.\n\n1408. Do you know anything about the dress and equipment that is worn by Japanese sailors? Yes, they are in the habit when they form landing parties or go ashore, of carrying a water bottle-and in proper landing parties, or perhaps I should say boarding parties, they are equipped with straps hanging from their shoulders.\n1409. And the water bottle-is that attached to the strap in some way? I believe it is attached to the strap, brought down to the waist and taken into some sort of belt.\n\n1410. This practice of the Japanese when they go on shore wearing a strap, etc., is it an invariable practice? Yes, absolutely invariable-they always wear it when they go ashore.\n\n1411. You cannot say they always wear this when they go to sea? No.\n1412. Is a Japanese sailor wearing that type of strap unique in that respect? Absolutely.\n1413. Chairman: Can you give us any idea of the colour of that boarding parties' strapping equipment? No, I cannot, except that it is a dark colour.\n\n1414. Mr. Whyatt: A colour that would show up well on a light uniform? Yes, in contrast.\n\nAm I right-you \n1415. Chairman: I am afraid we are not quite clear about this. are distinguishing between the equipment of a landing party, the strap supporting the water bottle-and the other equipment worn by boarding parties? I imagine it would be the practice for them to wear some sort of equipment when they were going into action.\n\n1416. Is that one strap? No, two straps from the shoulder. They have been known to wear them rather like cross-pieces, or alternatively straight from the shoulder to the waist.\n\n1417. That is two straps? Yes.\n\n1418. It is distinct entirely from the water-bottle strap? I would not like to say that definitely it may be part of the same equipment.\n\n253",

        "content_text": "## International Situation\n\n**HOUSE OF COMMONS**\n\n[The Prime Minister.] transfer of Sudetenland, will be put in the same position as other involuntary emigrants from Germany with whom the committee is already concerned. As to whether it may be possible in the future to initiate a project of the dimensions which the right hon. Gentleman foreshadowed, that is evidently a matter with which I could not deal here. It is not one for this country alone. This is not a country which has the area or the opportunity for settling a large number of emigrants. The question concerns the world as a whole. I am sure that we shall all join in hoping that a solution may be found which will mitigate the sufferings of these unfortunate people. The right hon. Gentleman drew a gloomy picture of what might be called the economic sequences of the Munich Agreement, and he suggested that there was some sinister political motive behind the economic activities of Dr. Funk.\n\nMr. Dalton: Has not the right hon. Gentleman forgotten that my right hon. Friend asked him to make a statement as to the guarantees of the new Czechoslovakian frontier?\n\nThe Prime Minister: I am very much obliged to the hon. Gentleman. I had forgotten the question, but, as a matter of fact, I have a note to come back to the question later on; but I will deal with it at once and say that I am not yet in a position to add anything, on the subject of guarantees, to what has already been said by my right hon. Friend the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence. The position remains exactly the same and it cannot be cleared up until the whole question of minorities in Czechoslovakia has been settled. The House will remember that it was stated that Germany and Italy would be ready to enter into a guarantee on the question of Czechoslovakia when the question of minorities had been settled. Our original offer was to enter into an international guarantee, but what the terms of that guarantee will be and who will be the partakers in that guarantee is not a question on which I can give the House any further information to-day. Of course, before anything were settled, the terms of such a guarantee and the names of those who are taking part in it would be brought before this House.\n\nMr. Wedgwood Benn: In dealing with the frontiers the right hon. Gentleman has not dealt with the Hungarian frontier. Many people are asking why we are to guarantee a frontier vis-a-vis Hungary in the determination of which we and the French are excluded.\n\nThe Prime Minister: In speaking of a guaranteed frontier the right hon. Gentleman is mistaken. We never guaranteed the frontiers as they existed. What we did was to guarantee against unprovoked aggression quite a different thing. That did not mean that we gave our seal to the existence of frontiers as they were then or at any other time. Our guarantee was against unprovoked aggression and not the crystallisation of frontiers. The right hon. Gentleman alternates between violent indignation and insuppressible amusement, but I do not think that my answer could give rise to either of those expressions.\n\nI was dealing with the economic consequences of Dr. Funk's activities. Again, I am sorry that the right hon. Gentleman thought it necessary to suggest that the activities of Dr. Funk, who is the Minister concerned with economic questions, should be concealing some political motive. It is this attitude of constant suspicion-- nothing can be done by anybody but what somebody or other finds concealed in it something sinister or evil which is very largely the cause of the want of confidence existing in Europe to-day. What, taking an economic view, is the position of Germany in relation to the States of Central and South-Eastern Europe? Geographically, she must occupy a dominating position there. She does now. As a matter of fact, in so far as those States are agricultural in character, the nature of the trade between them and Germany is complementary. They can supply Germany with raw materials and foodstuffs in return for articles of manufacture which Germany is so well fitted to supply, but I do not see any reason why we should expect that a fundamental change is likely to take place in those regions.\n\nSo far as Czechoslovakia is concerned, the industries in the ceded regions were industries mainly exporting in character, and they suffered a good deal in competition from Germany. It is quite true that she has ceded also valuable supplies of raw materials, such as coal, lignite and timber, but so long as she is able to import those raw materials there is no reason, so far as I can see, why her industrial position should be worsened.\n\nExchanges of goods over the frontier between Germany and Czechoslovakia are likely to be mutually beneficial. I do not imagine that there will be difficulty put in the way of importing raw materials.\n\nMr. E. J. Williams: Will it not affect the coal trade in this country?\n\nThe Prime Minister: I am talking of the industrial position of Czechoslovakia. So far as this country is concerned, we have no wish to block Germany out from those countries or to encircle her economically. It is true that we have certain trade interests there ourselves, and of course, we mean to maintain those trade interests; and indeed, in that respect, we shall have the good will of the countries themselves. Although, as I have said, their natural market is to be found chiefly in Germany, nevertheless, they can, as a rule, only obtain payment from Germany either in the form of goods --a barter arrangement or in the form of block marks. That does not suit them. They want free currency so that they may import other materials and things which they cannot get in Germany. Therefore, they do desire at least a certain proportion of their trade to be done with other countries, and for that reason we shall have their assistance and good will in our efforts to maintain our trade.\n\nDo not let us suppose that there necessarily must be economic warfare between Germany and ourselves. There must be some competition. Competition is a thing that we thrived on in the past. It is not in our interest to see any part of the world remain poor. If by means of international trade between Germany and these countries the economic position of these countries is improved, you may be quite certain that we shall get our share of the trade. They may not buy exactly the same things from us as they buy from Germany, but they will buy from us those articles which we are most fitted to supply. I finish what I have to say on this subject by the general observation that, in my view, there is room both for Germany and for us in trade with those countries and that neither of us ought to try to obtain exclusive possession of their markets.\n\nWith regard to the other minorities, the right hon. Gentleman appeared to indicate that it was very wrong that any further encroachment should be made upon the territory of Czechoslovakia. Surely that is not a position that we can take up.\n\nWhat we are doing now, as was pointed out by my Noble Friend the Foreign Secretary, is witnessing the re-adjustment of frontiers laid down in the Treaty of Versailles. I do not know whether the people who were responsible for those frontiers thought they would remain permanently as they were laid down. I doubt very much whether they did. They probably expected that from time to time the frontiers would have to be adjusted. It is impossible to conceive that those people would be such supermen as to be able to see what would be the right frontiers for all time. The question is not whether those frontiers should be readjusted from time to time but whether they should be readjusted by negotiation and discussion, or be readjusted by war. Readjustment is going on and, in the case of the Hungarian frontier, arbitration by Germany and Italy has been accepted by Czechoslovakia and Hungary for the final determination of the frontier between them. I think I have said enough about Czechoslovakia.\n\nI do not propose to talk about Spain, following the example of the right hon. Gentleman. As to China, I can only say that there again the right hon. Gentleman appears to me to be taking an unnecessarily gloomy view of the future. He spoke of China as one of the largest potential markets in the world. Potential what does that mean?: China cannot be developed into a real market without the influx of a great deal of capital, and the fact that so much capital is being destroyed during this war means that even more capital will have to be put into China in the future, when the war is over. Who is going to supply the capital? It is quite certain that it cannot be supplied by Japan. Therefore, when the right hon. Gentleman appears to contemplate a future in which Japan will have the monopoly of Chinese trade, and we shall be excluded from it altogether, I say that that is flying in the face of the facts. It is quite certain that, when the war is over and the reconstruction of China begins, she cannot possibly be reconstructed without some help from this country. [Interruption.] That is a matter for those who are asked to invest their money to consider at the time.\n\nPage 30  \nPage 31\n\nI want to turn to another aspect of the consequences that flow, I will not say from the Munich Agreement, but from the events which led up to it. The House will remember that when I spoke last, on 6th October, I told hon. Members that I was proposing to make a thorough and complete review of our civil and military defences, in order to see what errors and deficiencies might have been revealed and to take the necessary steps to make them good. On the civil side that review has been made, and, of course, it has shown what, indeed, was well known before, that our preparations were far from complete. All the same, I am of opinion that, if they had been put to the test, they would have been shown to have worked a great deal better than many people seem to suppose from the accounts of the deficiencies which were in fact shown up. This country, sometimes, is rather slow to get to work, but, when it does get to work, it works in double quick time; and the amount of work which was actually carried out, and efficiently carried out, during the crisis, is, I think, an indication that these air-raid precautions would not have been the complete and utter failure which some seem to think they would have been. I need not go further into that matter now, since it is to be the subject of a Vote of Censure, I understand, in a couple of days' time. What seems to me to be of much more interest to the general public than the question as to what blame should be attributed and where, is what is going to be done now, in order that there may be no cause for blame in the future. We had our warning; we had some sort of rehearsal; and we are in a position now to get a better picture of the whole situation than we were before. I think the House will probably like me to give them some short account of the measures by which we are proposing to deal with air-raid precautions in the future.\n\nWe have come to the conclusion that the whole subject of air-raid precautions has assumed such gigantic proportions, and has developed such complexity, that the burden is really too great to be imposed upon the Home Office in addition to its ordinary duties. We want a separate Minister with special administrative and organising experience, who could devote his whole attention to this subject. Accordingly, I invited my right hon. Friend the Member for the Scottish Universities (Sir J. Anderson) to undertake this task, and, as the House will be aware, his appointment as Lord Privy Seal has been approved by His Majesty the King. He will hold the office of Lord Privy Seal, but the duties of that office are not very onerous, and, in fact, this Minister will be the Minister of Civilian Defence. In that capacity he will have direct charge of air-raid precautions, and he will also be responsible, in consultation with the Departments concerned, for determining arrangements for national voluntary service.\n\nWith reference to air-raid precautions, hon. Members will appreciate that a large number of Departments are concerned in this work, and that they must be responsible in an emergency for functions which have to be exercised through their existing organisation. We have the Home Office, dealing with, perhaps, the major part of the work, especially police work, as well as fire brigades, gas-masks and so forth. Then we have the Ministry of Health, which is in close touch with local authorities, and is also responsible for the medical services, including nursing and ambulance provision. Then there is the Board of Trade, which must be responsible for the storage and distribution of food, and, of course, for the distribution of shipping and the decision as to where shipping is to be embarked and disembarked. There is the Board of Education, which must marshal the children in case of evacuation; there is the Ministry of Transport, which has to provide that railways or other forms of transport shall be available to carry out evacuation; there is the Post Office, which is responsible for communications and for the repair of such things as telephone or telegraph services in case of damage; and finally, of course, there is the Ministry of Labour, which has to see that labour is available for all the services as it is wanted. These services in Scotland are, of course, under the Secretary of State for Scotland. The House will see, therefore, that, in addition to the Home Office and the Scottish Office, all these other Departments have to play their part, and it is necessary that their activities should be co-ordinated, so that each of them may know beforehand exactly what is going to be expected of it in an emergency. For that purpose we shall set up committees of the Ministers of these various Departments and also of...",

        "content_text": "# \n\nFrom the Japan Advertiser.\n\n## \n\n14 \n\nC \n\n342. \"Japan in the Orient, and Nationalist Spain in the West,\" the new Japanese Minister declared to General Franco, \"are the first solid barriers for the salvation of the world against the destructive forces of civilisation and humanity.\"\n\n## The China Incident.\n\n### AVIATION SECTION.\n\n343. In South China, Japanese naval aircraft continue to co-operate with land forces in the vicinity of Canton, and in addition, continuous attacks on important points on routes leading to Indo-China have been made.\n\n344. In Central China, both army and navy air forces co-operate with land forces in pushing on from Hankow.\n\n345. In support of their action, raids on the Hankow-Canton Railway have been fairly continuous.\n\n346. The army air force in North China has undertaken long-distance raids into Suiyuan, Kansu, and Ningsia, where the routes from Russia and the headquarters of military and civil administration have been attacked almost daily.\n\n### Losses.\n\n347. The Japanese navy issued a communiqué on the 9th November, detailing results of air actions from the commencement of the incident up to the end of October. These can be summarised as follows:\n| Category | Certain | Uncertain | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Chinese Aircraft Destroyed in air | 610 | 85 | 695 |\n| Chinese Aircraft Destroyed on ground | 619 | 101 | 720 |\n| **Total** |  |  | 1,415 |\n| Japanese Aircraft | 7 |  | 111 (Total) |\n\n348. No figures giving army air losses have been published since the commencement of the incident.\n\n## Royal Air Force Language Officer.\n\n349. Flight Lieutenant T. A. B. Parselle has proceeded on detached duty to Hankow, where he will act as liaison officer between His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, Hankow, and the Japanese naval and military forces.\n\n## Air Raid Precautionary Exercises.\n\n350. Further exercises to practise the inhabitants of the eastern and north-eastern part of Japan in air raid precautions were held on the two days 26th-27th November, 1938.\n\n351. The aim of the practices can be summarised as follows:\n- (a) Transmission of warnings.\n- (b) Light control.\n- (c) Fire fighting.\n- (d) Traffic and pedestrian control.\n\n352. The authorities state that they are satisfied with the progress of the arrangements, and the standard of control, with the exception of traffic and pedestrian control, which requires further consideration.\n\n353. It must be agreed that the people co-operated most cheerfully and intelligently with the authorities, and the \"black-out\" of the metropolis was most effective.\n\n## Air Defence Corps.\n\n354. Volunteer fire brigades and independent defence associations, despite vigorous opposition, are being merged into a single air defence organisation. The new air defence corps (Keibodan) will thus number some 6,200,000 persons, and as such will be under the control of the commanders-in-chief of the air defence regional areas.\n\n## The Dai Nippon Aviation Company.\n\n355. The above-named company has been formed by the amalgamation of the Japan Air Transport Company and the International Aviation Company.\n\n356. This new enterprise is largely subsidised by the Government, and is to monopolise long-distance air services in Japan, connecting China and Manchuria, and later with the South Seas.\n\n## Italian Flight.\n\n357. The goodwill flight by an Italian aircraft to Tokyo left Rome on the 9th November, but came to grief in Syria, where the aircraft forced-landed.\n\n358. The Italian Air Attaché mentioned the difficulties he had encountered in arranging the Japanese section of this flight, which leads one to suspect that neither country trusts the other, in spite of the much-advertised \"friendship.\"\n\n## Training of Technical Personnel.\n\n359. Although at the present moment there appears to be no acute shortage of technical personnel, a long-range programme to make up deficiencies likely to occur in the future due to the expansion of industry is being put into operation.\n\n360. An Imperial Ordinance has been referred to the National General Mobilisation Commission dealing with the placing of technical apprentices at:\n- (a) Schools and institutes,\n- (b) Factories and workshops,\nand the improvement of industrial enterprises.\n\n278",

ETO, who has only been proprietor of the \"NIPPO\" for about one year, was formerly head of the Political Department of the Taiwan (or Formosa) Nichi Nichi. It is reported that this new English paper which he is to publish in Hongkong is to be subsidised by funds from the Japanese Foreign Office and Formosan Government for pro-Japanese propaganda purpose and to illustrate the present Japanese viewpoint to foreigners.\n\n6.\n\nDuring the past month a total of 24 Dobun College Students from Shanghai, composed of five different parties, visited Hongkong as part of an \"educational and sightseeing tour\". Their itinerary also included Formosa and Canton. The stay of each party was seldom longer than a few days. They were all kept under observation but did nothing of interest apart from visiting a few of the main Japanese establishments in the Colony and local beauty spots. Their College, which is again functioning in Shanghai, is said to be a Japanese Government language School where likely students are trained to become intelligence officers for all branches of the Government Service and these \"educational\" and \"sightseeing\" tours are considered to be part of their training, usually taken during the summer vacation. Quite a few of those whom we know to have been former Dobun College students, have later appeared in Hongkong working for such suspect organisations as the South Manchuria Railway, Domei News Agency, Formosan Development Co., etc. The Consulate staff also includes a number of former Dobun students.\n\n12.7.39.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31\n\nMMC.\n\nNO.\n\n1/1710/37s.\n\nNUMBER AND DATE SHOULD BE QUOTED IN REFERENCE TO THIS LETTER",

If he was conscientiously concerned the gendarmes would have been called in in the earliest stages of the case.\n\n(a) Moss has been severely punished for an action in which he was in any case only one out of many party to the \"Looting\" purely to placate the Japanese who, as I have pointed out above, did not take a strong line in the matter, and Cheng, who came into the picture late for what he could get out of it. While there may have been reason to placate Cheng and the Japanese, the actual carrying out of the sentence and the creation of a prison within a prison under these circumstances constitutes a disgracefully humiliating attitude towards the Japanese and Cheng.\n\nNotwithstanding Moss's case, the looting of the Godowns continued in a milder form. Certain persons in the Camp took it upon themselves to watch for and report attempts on the godowns. Pennefeather Ivens's attempts to stop Police looting the stores were of no avail, and his attitude subsequently changed to one of condoning the offence. Under a later paragraph, I have much to write on the subject of Pennefeather Evans.\n\nOn the night we left the Camp, the Japanese Superintendent recently appointed reported to Pennefeather Evans that food stuffs were still being taken from the godowns and that he had traced a trail of peas and had evidence pointing to a specific Police Officer unnamed. His attitude was sympathetic to the effect that he stated he realised that the looting was due to lack of food in the camp, but that it must be stopped. Pennefeather Evans admitted that he could not control the Police in the matter, and suggested that Japanese Guards should be placed on the Godowns. Prior to leaving, I had information that such guards had been placed.\n\nAs a matter of fact, it was most convenient for our escape as the Japanese were very busy guarding the Godowns on one side of the Camp, and we slipped out of the other side.\n\n## Paragraph 25\n\nLaw in Camp.\n\nAs indicated above, no specific authority has been delegated to the Committee to administer law within the Camp. A Watch Committee has been formed with Pennefeather Evans as convener. I do not know what the Watch Committee is up to. Camp life has brought to light a number of latent instincts in surprising instances, and it is necessary to keep a sharp look out for petty pilfering. Such should and probably will be dealt with under Camp discipline in due course. The American block and certain of the British blocks maintain a permanent guard on communal property.\n\n## Paragraph 26 - R. Pennefeather Evans.\n\nThompson in his letter to me says:\n\n\"I want this to go forward but leave it to your discretion when and how - In the meantime, keep it pretty confidential.\"\n\nI shall have to think about this.",

Chinese interests in other British territories.\n\nDr. Li said he had heard little in Chungking of conditions in Malaya or other British territories in the South Seas. He had in fact met one Chinese who had walked overland from Malaya to Free China, and from the amount of kudos which this individual enjoyed in Chungking, he thought he must have been a unique case. Before he left Hong Kong, there had been practically no communication between that Colony and Singapore, and he mentioned a family of considerable affluence in Hong Kong who were penniless through being unable to get in touch with the head of the family, who was in Java.\n\nAs regards future Chinese policy in those areas, Dr. Li professed acceptance of the published statement that China had no territorial ambitions in that direction.\n\n3. Conditions in Hong Kong.\n\nDr. Li stressed that there had been great distrust of the military even among the population of Hong Kong, and there was a general tendency to put one's capital in real property or commodities. He mentioned that the large stores regularly shut by 4 in the afternoon and restricted their sales as much as possible, e.g., they would not sell more than one piece of cutlery at a time. The Japanese, however, held a close control of such food supplies as there were in the Colony, and had made use of these to obtain the services of local labour, which they preferred to pay in kind rather than in military yen. They could get crews for vessels sailing to Indo-China by paying them in rice, which would afterwards be disposed of in the black market, and they had similarly got labour for the dockyards by payment in rice and in shavings for firewood. When it was suggested to him that this control of rations had also helped the Japanese to maintain the services of the Indian and Chinese police, Dr. Li agreed, but added that special conditions also weighed with the Police Force, e.g., Indians were treated more on a basis of equality than they had been in the past, and the Chinese police were allowed to accept a considerable amount of \"squeeze\".\n\nThe numbers of Japanese Gendarmes in the Colony were on the low side, and Dr. Li had attributed this to the method in which they carried out their duties. An appeal to them for assistance was likely to lead to the complainant being himself abused or held under arrest as a witness pending a case being brought. For that reason, people did not readily appeal for police assistance, and there was a great drop (of which the Japanese had made much) in the number of police court cases.\n\nDr. Li agreed that the Japanese had greatly reduced the population by strongly encouraging all transients to return to their native villages. He thought, however, that nothing which they had done had been worse propaganda on their part than their action in forcing so many to leave the Colony with insufficient provision to reach their home villages. Many of these unfortunates had, in fact, never reached home. He also mentioned the difficulty which many refugees had found in finding work in Free China. A chauffeur had returned to the Colony after 2 months in Free China, in which he had completely failed to find employment. In fact, on returning to Hong Kong, he managed to obtain a job as a driver.\n\n4. Hong Kong University.\n\nDr. Li said that the University buildings in Hong Kong had suffered great damage and that the new Science Block...",

        "content_text": "Understand that the Chinese consider twelve miles to be the extent of territorial waters. The Foreign Office Legal Adviser, after consultation with the Admiralty, advised that the marking on the map was misleading and was merely \"a delimitation of the area within which all territory is leased, and accompanying the territory, of course the normal territorial waters\". He illustrated this by reference to the maps showing Antarctic claims, which included large portions of the high seas,\n\n(7.6690/130/10 of 23rd September 1937). On the other hand, it is obviously a tenable theory that the marking on the map was deliberate and that Hong Kong is excluded from exercising jurisdiction in the waters west of Lantao, which would then presumably be under Chinese sovereignty. The first question, therefore, on which we should be grateful for your advice is whether the 1937 opinions can still be maintained.\n\nThe next question then arises as to whether **Hong Kong should exercise jurisdiction within the full limits of the map or only within the three-mile limit (either including or excluding the waters west of Lantao). In 1937, His Majesty's Government were concerned to avoid incidents which might compromise their neutrality in the struggle between Japan and China, and Hong Kong was therefore instructed not to give the appearance of claiming jurisdiction beyond the limits of national or territorial waters properly accepted by international custom. Such waters, in the case of Hong Kong, were defined generally as follows:\n\n(a) Waters within 3 miles of the Colony's territory\n\nand\n\n(b) waters extending 3 miles to seaward of lines\n\ndrawn from S.V. Point to Black Point in Deep Bay\n\nand",
