If he has, it is plain from the matter now before you that the same success has not crowned it. \n\nI have the honor to be, \n\n341 \n\nYour most obedient servant \n\nT. Kishore Anstey, A.M.

Perfect in letters and the art of war.\n\nBeing at all times diligent as the ant, no study escaped your grasp. And you aimed at a knowledge of philosophy, labouring with assiduity and understanding.\n\nInto science you extended your enquiries, working with energy and attention.\n\nGifted with all accomplishments, your mind full stored with learning, you still panted for more.\n\nWishing to enlarge your mind, a new thought came to you- You chose to traverse the seas, and great was the delight experienced.\n\nYour desire to visit the Central land occupied your thoughts by night and day.\n\nIn China there is a spot which in times long past was opened to commerce; Hongkong is its name, where congregate many merchants and many ships.\n\nLooking from Canton as far as the eye can reach, nothing is to be seen but a succession of islands and peaks.\n\nMounting the ruins of Ut Toy, and travelling eastward, many waters must be passed.\n\nIn the midst of these islands and this expanse of water, guarded by Heaven rises this isle, overflowing with merchandize and abounding in wealth.\n\nFor years it has appeared mirrored in the unruffled deep.\n\nIts thousand houses, sheltered by the hills, present a picture of surpassing beauty.\n\nThis picture-this scene-how rapid its completion!

Still, though smiles arise, how can we decline to express our feelings!\n\nWe trust that you will take this with you to distant lands, and that great may be the result--\n\nNamely, that for thousands of years our countries may be firmly bound together in peace and amity;\n\nAnd that throughout the world there may continue joy and gladness and universal peace.\n\n57", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 283461, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-148 - Public Offices & Others - 1870", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-148 - Public Offices & Others - 1870", "content_text": "## 2.0 \n\nThe Under Secretary of \nState for War. \n\nMINUTE 36/25 \n\n32 \n\nI am directed \nby the Earl of Kimberley \n\n29/7 \n30 \n\nto inform you that His \nExcellency is unwilling to ... \n\nso the enforcement of the \n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n\nditto \nMit the for... \nalli le squashil ti afort tie dati from alush th...

E. the Administrator would have taken a favourable view of such a proposal; and more particularly as I was led to believe that my hon. friend on my right (the Colonial Treasurer) has prepared with his usual care and precision a scheme for borrowing a very much larger sum even than what I proposed at the meeting in question. As regards the all-important point of sanitation, I think it is extremely disappointing to note that there has been almost, I may say, no allusion made to it whatever. The only point that I could see with reference to it in the Address is the hope held out that a draft Public Health Bill may be introduced during the present Session. I contend that such an important matter as this ought to have received the chief attention of the Government of this Colony. Things are, no doubt, in a most disgraceful state, and I think there are very few people in this colony—perhaps I might even include certain of the officials—who are aware of the real state of things which now exists. In order to prove my statement to a certain extent, I will, with your permission, read to you an extract from an official report which was sent in to the Government as late as June, 1885, or about 18 months ago, having reference to the state of the Market. It is a very lengthy report, and it is one of the most comprehensive I have ever seen issued by an official in this colony.\n\nThe occupation of houses specially set apart for the sale of human food as dwellings is in itself a very grave sanitary defect. It becomes a great deal more than that when the houses are not only over-crowded but also quite unfit for human habitation. That those market houses are uninhabitable is beyond question.\n\nThe best of them are composed of two rooms, more or less filled with goods, and without conveniences of any kind. There is one room which is only 11 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 6 feet high, and the greater portion of which is below ground, without any window, and the only opening to it being a doorway 6 feet by 2 feet leading into a live fish store. This hole gives sleeping accommodation summer and winter to seven men.\n\nI have visited that hole myself, and I can confirm what has been said of it in every particular. I have also visited in the Market several other holes in a far worse state than this, in which I have seen men actually suffering from loathsome diseases, here in the midst of the food supply of this colony. The report goes on to say ----\n\nThe very fact that those houses are uninhabitable seems sufficient to ensure that the Government will no longer allow them to be occupied as dwellings, more especially as the Board has already, in the case of a private individual, taken steps under section 3 of Ordinance 7 of 1883, with regard to uninhabitable dwellings. This being the case, it seems needless to dilate on the somewhat disgusting details of hundreds of men sleeping nightly in contact with and surrounded by the food of the majority of the inhabitants of the city.\n\nWith regard to these dwellings, it seems needless to dwell on the disgusting details of hundreds of men sleeping nightly in contact with our food supply. I have discovered that in that Market there are 1,200 men and upwards sleeping nightly. I will ask you to follow me in the succeeding remarks of this report:-\n\nThere is only one pail closet and it has four compartments. It is closed during the day and open at night. It is practically a square box without light or ventilation. Even at noon, a lamp is required to see what the place is like. The Central Market Authorities do not supply the closet with a light. Two hydrants stand on the east and west sides of the closet, a vegetable stall on the north, the door of the closet, and a fish stall on the south, and a bedroom above. The fittings of the closet are old and very defective.\n\nThe only urinal provided is a wooden bucket in the closet, and of course, this is only available at night. The door of the closet and the inlets to the drains in the various stalls are regularly but clandestinely used as urinals.\n\nNow, sir, I blush with shame to have to hold out to public criticism British officials who have had that statement before them for eighteen months, and yet have taken no steps whatever in the matter, with 8,000 Europeans in this colony all drawing their food supply from this source. I say that one and all, I make no distinction of persons, are deserving of the severest censure that this state of things should have been allowed to continue. The improvements which were suggested were as follows ---\n\n1. The prohibition of the occupation of the stalls as dwellings.\n\n2. The repairing, &c., of the main and branch drains.\n\n3. The thorough cleansing and white-washing of the whole of the buildings both inside and outside.\n\n4. The improvement of the closet and urinal.\n\n5. More constant and complete supervision.\n\nNow, as I have stated, that report is 18 months old, and not one step has been taken with reference to it; and I have no hesitation in saying that it is a disgraceful state of affairs. I have no doubt I shall be met by the cuckoo cry of the Government that we have no funds, but as to that, I say that a profit of $30,000 or $40,000 a year is drawn from that Market, and thousands of dollars are squandered annually for useless ornamentation, although there is a crying evil like this in our midst and no steps are taken to remedy it.\n\nAs regards the various Ordinances which have been referred to in the Address, I think it will be time enough to consider the utility of them when they come before the Council for discussion. I think, with reference to the proposed light on the Gap Rock, that it is a very disappointing thing that this report has not already been forwarded to the Secretary of State. The report is of a simple nature, prepared by the Harbour Master, the Commodore, and my hon. friend opposite (the Surveyor-General), and I think it should certainly have been sent in. It is, however, satisfactory to note that H. E. the Administrator has not lost sight of this important matter.\n\nAs regards the carrying out of the extension of the Praya, I see that the blame for the delay of this scheme is chiefly laid on the Naval and Military Authorities. It is a very curious thing, but a short time ago I had a conversation with a high military authority here, and he laid the blame to a certain extent on the Civil Government. In fact, I was led to believe the Government had cooled down to a considerable extent upon this important matter. This extension of the Praya would give the Military six acres of ground, and they were prepared to pay two-thirds of the cost of the undertaking. Of course, it is possible that since that statement was made, certain alterations may have taken place; but I must say this, that I believe if the Government took this matter in hand in earnest, the Admiral, who, I believe, will soon return from the North, could be induced to consult with the General and the members of this Council, and this desirable scheme could very easily be carried out.\n\nAs regards the all-important matter of the fortifications of the colony, it is to me a most surprising thing that in his Excellency's Address no allusion is made to it whatever. This colony has been called upon to pay a very large sum towards these fortifications, and yet in an important address like this, there is not a single word of explanation as to what progress has been made, or how they at present stand. Of course, seeing that no allusion whatever has been made to it, I can only assume that things are not in a satisfactory state, because I am certain that if H. E. the Administrator could have said anything favourable with regard to them, he would be pretty certain to have done so.\n\nMy hon. friend, the senior unofficial member, in speaking of the lazaretto and the Island, Stonecutters', made some remarks I pointed out at a former meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, in which I expressed a doubt as to whether my hon. friend opposite (the Surveyor-General) would complete the work in the time he stated, and I have very great pleasure this evening in acknowledging that in thinking this work would not be completed within the stated time, I was entirely wrong. The work was completed. I was over there after the contract was finished, and I saw the work myself. I congratulate my hon. friend upon the excellent manner in which it has been completed.\n\nI may say that to me the whole Address is disappointing. It seems, I think, to have emanated from a man who says \"Well, I am soon leaving the service, and I am not going to take any more responsibility upon myself than circumstances actually compel me to.\" There is very little indication of any progressive legislation, and to me, as a newly joined member of this Council, it is very disappointing.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—It may be fitting, perhaps, that I should reply to some of the remarks which have fallen from the hon. member who has just addressed the Council, especially with reference to matters with which I have been connected. The hon. member called, if I may say so, very naturally and properly called for further information as to how it came to pass that the estimate for the construction of the proposed Praya between the Murray Pier and the Bio Buildings, which originally figured, as stated in his Excellency's Address, at £15,000, should have extended to £71,000, an increase of £26,000. The explanation of this increase is told in a few words. The estimate of £45,000 has reference to an early scheme I had the honour of submitting, as far back as 1874, to Sir Arthur Kennedy, which comprised the construction of a sea wall and embankment running at a uniform level throughout. Subsequently, the Admiralty objected to\n\nPage 84\n\nthe\n\nsury", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-229 - Acting Governor Marsh & Public Offices - 1886 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 342557, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-246 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [8-9]", "page_number": 172, "title": "CO129-246 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [8-9]", "content_text": "2801\n\nIber 22 SEP\n\n1\n\nDRAFT.\n\nEarr 18601\n\nHong Kong:\n\n170\n\n30 Sept: 90\n\n16.

The smokers may hide the degrading effects from casual observers, and they often succeed in deceiving their European employers and friends, but in their homes, their kith and kin, personal friends and acquaintances, their degradation is only too painfully apparent. The habit of opium smoking has undoubtedly the sad but decided effect of lowering the moral standard of its votaries. It leads frequently to great meanness, untruthfulness, treachery, fraud and deception, theft and robbery. Its victims are mostly helpless and unreliable, shameless and devoid of honour and conscience.\n\nIt must be noted, however, that the degradation though certain is very gradual.\n\nThe physical effects are as well marked as the moral. At first there are only occasional giddiness, headache, nausea and constipation, followed by loss of appetite and then emaciation. The smoker becomes wakeful at night and sleeps the greater part of the morning, generally rising at noon or later. He loses his energy and keenness, becoming nervous, lazy and untidy. His intellect soon gets cloudy and dull, retaining however sufficient low cunning to carry out all sorts of mean tricks and dishonest practices. His skin is dry and sallow, his lips bluish, his cheeks and eyes sunken, his temples hollowed and his manly strength is gone. After long continued use of the drug, he finally becomes more than a \"living skeleton\", or in the meantime, some organic disease has not seized his already depressed and debilitated body and carried him off.\n\nFrom the two preceding paragraphs, the social effects may well be inferred without more words. To live and associate with persons of such stamp and with such an evil habit upon him, is the greatest living misery. Only those who have the misfortune of having dear friends and near relations given over to such a habit, can fully realize the deep sorrows and hopeless miseries occasioned by it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-262 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1894 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 354874, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "page_number": 608, "title": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "content_text": "animals in which the parts round the place of inoculation present the same edematous exudations as we find in human beings.\n\nI shall now give a few short notes about the Bacillus. The Bacilli are to be found in the blood, in the buboes, in the spleen and in all other internal organs of the victims of plague. The Bacilli are rods with rounded ends which are readily stained by the ordinary aniline dyes; the poles being stained darker than the middle part, especially in blood preparations, and presenting a capsule sometimes well marked, sometimes indistinct. The Bacilli found in the spleen are best stained by a solution of methyl blue. I am at present unable to say whether or no Gram's double-staining method can be employed. I shall report upon this on a future occasion.\n\nThe Bacilli show very little movement, and those grown in the incubator, in beef tea, make the medium somewhat cloudy. The growth of the Bacilli is strongest on blood serum at the normal temperature of the human body (37° C)—under these conditions they develop luxuriantly and are moist in consistence and of a yellowish grey colour; they do not liquify the serum. On Agar-Agar jelly (the best is good glycerine agar) they also grow freely. The different colonies are of a whitish grey colour, and by a reflected light show a bluish glance; under the microscope they appear moist and in rounded patches with uneven edges—at first they appear everywhere as if piled up with 'glass wool,' later on as if having dense, large centres. cover-glass preparation is made from a cultivation on agar-agar, and, after having been stained, is observed under the microscope; long threads of Bacilli are seen, which might, by careless inspection, be mistaken for a coccus chain, but are recognised with certainty as threads of Bacilli under closer observation. The growth on agar-gelatine is similar to that on agar-agar; in a puncture cultivation, at the ordinary temperature after a few days, they are found growing as a fine dust, in little points alongside the puncture, but with very little growth on the surface. Whether these Bacilli are able to liquify ordinary gelatine or not, I am at present unable to decide, as the temperature of Hongkong ranges so high that the employment of simple nutritive gelatine is out of the question. I shall give further information on this question later.\n\nOn potatoes at a temperature of from 28° C. to 30° C. there was no growth after ten days' observation, but at a temperature of 37° C. the Bacilli developed sparingly after a few days—they were whitish grey in colour and exsiccated.\n\nAs mentioned before the Bacilli grow best at a temperature of from 36° C. to 39° C.—at how low a temperature growth is possible, I am unable at present to state.\n\nSo far I have been unable to observe the formation of spores.\n\nExperiments on Animals. Mice, rats, guinea-pigs, and rabbits are susceptible to inoculation. If these animals are inoculated with pure cultivations, or with the blood of a plague patient in which the Bacilli have been observed, or with the contents of a bubo, or with pieces of internal organs, or even with the contents of the intestine, they begin to become ill in from one to two days, according to the size of the animal. Their eyes become watery, they begin to show disinclination for any effort, later on avoid their food and hide quietly in a corner of the cage. The temperature rises to 41.5° C., and with convulsive symptoms they die in from two to five days.\n\nI must observe that in Hongkong I could only obtain small guinea-pigs (weight from 100 to 150 grammes) and small rabbits (from 200 to 250 grammes). If I could have experimented upon larger animals it is possible life would have been somewhat prolonged beyond the periods mentioned above.\n\nThe parts around the point of inoculation are infiltrated with a reddish gelatinous exudation, the spleen is enlarged, sometimes there is a swelling of the lymphatic glands, and in all the organs the Bacilli are found.

There was no marked tendency to decomposition. The expression of the countenance was calm. Rigor mortis was moderate in degree.\n\nIn the skin, petechiae were sometimes found, and carbuncular swelling up to the size of a crown piece. When the carbuncles were incised, the cutis was found to be thick, hard and dense, and the subcutaneous tissue the seat of hemorrhagic infiltration.\n\nThe cerebral membranes were always congested, and the sinuses filled with dark-red blood. The pia mater was oedematous; and in most cases was clouded, especially along the vessels, by a grey, gelatinous exudation. Small ecchymoses were scattered here and there in the pia mater.\n\nThe brain-substance showed often moderate edema and numerous puncta vasculosa. The cerebral ventricles sometimes contained a small quantity of fluid.\n\nIn the pleura, there was as a rule no change. In rare cases small haemorrhages were seen in the membrane, with a moderate effusion into the pleural cavity. In most of the cases in which these appearances were found there were large axillary buboes on the affected side, with haemorrhagic infiltration of the surrounding connective tissue. In one case, as the sequel of a pulmonary abscess, there was found a large purulent effusion in the left pleural cavity.\n\nThe mediastinal glands were sometimes enlarged up to the size of a bean, and of a blue or bluish-red colour. In one case, in the mediastinal connective tissue behind the sternum, there was an abscess of the size of a hazel-nut.\n\nThe lungs were as a rule much congested and oedematous, the lower lobes especially so. From the cut surfaces, frothy red fluid could be squeezed. In 170 autopsies there was one example of abscess in the left lung; and in five cases pneumonic infiltration was found in the lower lobes. The bronchi and the larynx usually showed no morbid change, except that the mucous membrane sometimes appeared red or slightly cyanotic, and was frequently covered with mucus. The bronchial glands were often moderately enlarged up to the size of a bean, and of a red or bluish-red colour.\n\nThe pericardium, especially the visceral layer, showed frequently petechiae or ecchymoses. Fibrinous pericardial exudation was observed in one case. In no case was any considerable increase in the quantity of pericardial fluid met with. The heart, especially the right side, was always somewhat distended with blood. The heart-muscle was in most cases pale and flabby, the parenchyma cloudy or in a state of fatty degeneration. The blood in the cavities was of a dark-red colour, and was either coagulated to form soft clots, or in a semi-fluid state.\n\nThe great venous trunks of the thorax and abdomen were distended with dark-red blood. In the omentum and peritoneum and beneath them, small or large extravasations of blood were frequently met with.\n\nThe spleen was always enlarged, often from two to four times its normal size. Its consistence was sometimes soft, sometimes hard. It was usually hyperaemic, and of a bluish-red colour. Haemorrhages were sometimes to be seen in the parenchyma immediately beneath the capsule. On the surface numerous small, white, overgrown follicles were visible.\n\nThe kidneys were usually enlarged, much congested, of a dark-violet colour, and frequently showed small ecchymoses on the surface. The stellate veins were plainly visible. The cortical substance was often thickened, the parenchyma cloudy or in a state of fatty degeneration. The mucous membrane of the renal pelvis very often showed numerous small haemorrhages. The pelvis often contained small coagula, which extended into the ureters.\n\nPage 186\n\n(13)\n\nThe peri-renal connective tissue frequently contained large extravasations of blood; of a dark-red blackish tarry colour, which sometimes extended downwards into the true pelvis.\n\nThe urinary bladder was sometimes contracted, sometimes greatly distended.\n\nThe mucous membrane sometimes showed punctiform ecchymoses. The urine in some cases contained blood.\n\nThe uterus and its appendages showed frequently small haemorrhages in the mucous membrane. The liver was usually enlarged, of a brownish-red or greyish-red colour, and of a firm consistence. In many cases smaller or larger extravasations of blood were found under the capsule. The parenchyma was often cloudy. The boundaries of the lobules were often ill-defined, and the intra-lobular vessels were as a rule filled with blood. In some cases, in which during life there had been icterus, the liver was of a greyish-yellow colour. The gall-bladder was frequently enlarged, and tightly distended with dark-green bile; its walls were sometimes oedematous.\n\nThe stomach was often contracted. The mucous membrane was sometimes whitish-grey; more commonly, however, markedly hyperaemic, especially at the summits of the folds, and thickly covered with mucus. Petechiform blood-spots, and haemorrhagic erosions of the size of a lentil, in great numbers, were of frequent occurrence in the mucous membrane. The contents of the stomach consisted often of brownish-black masses.\n\nThe whole intestine was as a rule markedly hyperaemic, was often contracted, and usually contained bile-stained masses. The mucous membrane was often thickly coated with mucus; and showed in most cases small haemorrhages and ecchymoses, which were most commonly situated on the summits of the folds.\n\nThe solitary follicles were in nearly all cases more or less swollen, especially in the lower part of the small intestine, and often attained the size of a pen or a bean. The Peyer's patches also were almost always enlarged, and raised above the surface of the membrane. The patches were frequently denuded of epithelium, and were often the seat of ulcers with undermined walls but free from sloughs. Haemorrhages in the Peyer's patches were also observed in many cases.\n\nIn the mesentery, in many cases, there was extensive extravasation of blood. The mesenteric and the retro-peritoneal glands were in nearly all cases affected in more or less considerable degree. They were enlarged up to the size of a bean or a hazel-nut, and were either whitish in colour, or, more commonly, in consequence of a considerable degree of hyperaemia or haemorrhagic infiltration, they were dark bluish-red. In about 60% of the cases the mesentery was thickly studded with glands of all sizes and degrees of inflammatory change. The mesenteric and retro-peritoneal glands were sometimes surrounded by extravasated blood, and were frequently in a state of inflammatory softening. The blood and lymph vessels between the affected glands and the intestine were in most cases dilated, and of a blue or bluish-red colour. In those cases in which no external buboes had been formed, the changes in the intestine and the stomach, together with those in the mesenteric and retro-peritoneal glands, constituted the most conspicuous morbid appearances.\n\nThe pancreas was usually hyperaemic, but showed no other morbid change.\n\nThe mucous membrane of the pharynx was generally dark-red. The tonsils were sometimes enlarged and dark-red.\n\nThe sub-maxillary glands showed no change beyond slight hyperaemia.\n\nThe parotid glands were sometimes swollen and markedly hyperaemic.\n\nIn the sub-lingual glands, with the exception of slight hyperaemia, no morbid change was found. In the external lymphatic glands the morbid changes were usually much more extensive than in the internal. The outwardly visible buboes consisted in the first place always of the swollen lymphatic glands themselves; and in addition in many cases of the surrounding connective tissue, oedematous or infiltrated with blood. In the latter case, through the matting together of the glands and the surrounding tissue, there arose diffuse swellings of the size of a hen's egg up to that of the fist. In the buboes, the parenchyma of the glands was sometimes uniformly red, or of the colour of wine-lees, or violet, or brownish-red, and either firm or soft in consistence; sometimes whitish or...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 362674, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "page_number": 192, "title": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "content_text": "(16)\n\n(17)\n\n188\n\ncase.\n\nExperiments on the inoculability of bubonic plague were made on all kinds of animals, both with cultures and with fragments of the organs of patients that had died of the plague. They were rats and house mice, which died in great numbers during the epidemic; next in order of susceptibility came white mice, guinea-pigs, rabbits, pigs, monkeys, and fowls. Cats became feverish after inoculation, but did not die. Pigeons were non-inoculable.\n\nIn the albuminous urine of 40 patients suffering from plague, plague bacilli were found in over ... of the cases. They could usually be detected by simple microscopical examination; frequently also in fragments of the organs and with pure cultures of the bacillus. Sometimes the urine contained also pus-cocci.\n\nThe bacillus was never detected in the sweat.\n\nB.—The Bacillus of Bubonic Plague.\n\nThe plague bacillus is a short, thick rod with rounded ends, about 1 μ in length and 0.3 μ in breadth. The bacillus is non-motile. It is stained by all basic aniline dyes, but is not stained by Gram's method. In simple stained cover-glass preparations of the blood and the organs, the ends of the bacillus stain much more deeply than the middle. Often the ends of the bacillus remain entirely unstained, so that it has the appearance of a diplococcus. Sometimes the bacillus is surrounded by a clear area. Very frequently the bacillus is found in the interior of the white blood corpuscles.\n\nThe bacillus grows in artificial nutritive media, both at the temperature of the blood and at the ordinary temperature of the room. The optimum temperature is 37° C. Below 25° C, a decline in the rapidity of growth becomes noticeable. The bacillus thrives better on nutritive media containing glycerine than on those made without the admixture of this substance. Spore-formation was never observed.\n\nOn gelatine plates, the bacillus grows without liquefying the medium and produces in 48 hours small, round, greyish-white colonies. When these are examined microscopically, they have at first the appearance of ground glass, and later a darker, granulated appearance, sometimes with notched borders.\n\nIn gelatine puncture and streak cultivation, the bacillus grows slowly to form grey or greyish-white cultures, without liquefying the gelatine.\n\nOn agar plates, the bacillus forms within 24 hours small, round, greyish-white colonies, of the size of a pin's head, which by reflected light show a bluish sheen with iridescent borders. The colonies usually reach the size of a lentil only and remain isolated. Frequently, however, some of the colonies increase considerably in size after a few days and outgrow the others. Old colonies on agar plates have usually a ragged appearance.\n\nIf from the colonies just described, puncture and streak cultivations upon agar are made, it is found that tubes inoculated from the smaller colonies show a scantier growth than those inoculated from the larger colonies. The streak cultivations on agar appear white or greyish-white and show by reflected light a bluish sheen. The puncture cultivations have a whitish appearance along the depth of the insertion and extend but little superficially from the point of inoculation.\n\nSubcutaneous inoculation of rats, house-mice, white mice, guinea-pigs, and rabbits with fragments of organs of patients that had died of the plague killed the animals in from one to six days. Mice died usually in from one to three days, rats in from two to four days, guinea-pigs according to their size in from two to five days, rabbits in from four to seven days. Soon after the inoculation, the animals' temperature rose to 40° C (104° F); they sat with ruffled fur in a corner of the cage; they lost appetite; shortly before death, they fell suddenly on their side and died in convulsions, which sometimes lasted two or three hours.\n\nOn post-mortem examination, there was found at the site of inoculation a hæmorrhagic, gelatinous exudation; there was inflammation of the lymphatics leading to the nearest lymphatic glands; these glands were red and swollen and often imbedded in a yellow, gelatinous exudation. The lungs were usually congested; the right side of the heart was usually distended with bluish-black blood; the liver was red and swollen; the spleen was bluish, much swollen, and frequently studded with small follicles. The kidneys and the adrenals were congested and usually swollen. The intestine was often congested, and the mesenteric glands were sometimes moderately swollen and congested. In the various organs, especially in the lymph-glands, the liver, the kidneys, the spleen, and the blood, the plague bacillus was present; it was usually found also in the urine and in the fæces.\n\nWhen subcutaneous inoculations of pure cultures were made in animals, it was found that the virulence of the cultures was very variable. Cultures of the third and fourth generations proved much less virulent than those of the first and second generations; and cultures derived from the larger, over-grown colonies on agar plates were much less virulent than cultures derived from the smaller colonies on the same plates.\n\nIf fresh cultures of the first generation were used for subcutaneous inoculations, the bacilli being those growing in the smaller colonies on agar plates, which colonies had been directly derived from the organs, blood, or urine of plague patients, the inoculated mice, rats, guinea-pigs, and rabbits died according to their size in from one to twelve days. Mice died as a rule in from two to seven days; rats from four to five days; small guinea-pigs weighing from 150 to 200 grammes within five days; large guinea-pigs weighing from 400 to 500 grammes in from five to nine days; and rabbits in from seven to twelve days. The appearances on post-mortem examination were identical with those seen in animals inoculated with fragments of the organs.\n\nThe less virulent cultures always gave rise to fever on inoculation and were fatal to mice; they were seldom, however, fatal to rats; still more rarely fatal to guinea-pigs. When fatal, the duration of the illness was longer than in animals of the same species inoculated with the more virulent cultures. Rabbits inoculated with the less virulent cultures suffered from fever but were not killed.\n\nThe growth of the bacillus on bouillon is very characteristic in this respect, that it resembles that of \"the streptococcus pyogenes.\" The growth forms at the bottom and along the sides of the test-tube as a granular or flocculent precipitate, while the bouillon itself remains clear. If it is shaken, the precipitate is distributed throughout the fluid. The cultures do not give the indol reaction.\n\nOn potato, the growth is very scanty. At blood-heat, in from 36 to 48 hours, very delicate greyish-white or white crusts are formed. At the temperature of the room, the growth is not apparent until after three or four days.\n\nSterilised milk is curdled by the bacillus.\n\nThe most favourable culture medium for the bacillus is a 2‰ alkaline solution of peptone containing 1% of gelatine.\n\nIn stained cover-glass preparations from artificial cultures, the bacillus has usually the appearance of a diplococcus. Very frequently, four to six of such bacilli lie joined together in a chain, and they then resemble streptococci. Such appearances are seen most often in cultures in bouillon and in hanging-drop cultivations. Frequently, especially in old cultures, bulging, oval, almost spherical forms are seen. In old cultures, the bacilli stained less readily.\n\nIntra-peritoneal inoculations caused great swelling of the intestinal follicles and of the mesenteric glands, but otherwise the symptoms were the same as those produced by subcutaneous inoculation. The intra-peritoneal inoculations were as a rule more rapidly fatal. The less virulent cultures more often proved fatal when inoculated intraperitoneally than when inoculated subcutaneously.\n\nThe introduction of fragments of the organs or of pure cultures into the stomach, either by mixing them with the food or through the stomach-tube, was usually fatal to mice and almost always fatal to rats and to small young guinea-pigs and rabbits. The post-mortem appearances were generally speaking the same as those found after subcutaneous and intra-peritoneal inoculations. There was more swelling of the intestine, the intestinal follicles, and the mesenteric glands than in animals killed by subcutaneous inoculation; on the other hand, the external lymphatic glands were usually less swollen than in animals killed by subcutaneous or by intra-peritoneal inoculation.\n\nIn post-mortem examinations on animals, the inguinal and the cervical glands were nearly always found to be much more severely affected than the axillary glands.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 362675, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "page_number": 193, "title": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "content_text": "(18)\n\n(19)\n\n189\n\nThe result of inoculation experiments was to show as a general rule that when the plague bacillus was cultivated for successive generations in artificial media it rapidly lost its virulence.\n\nWhen rats were found dead in houses in which cases of plague had occurred, plague bacilli were often to be found in their lymphatic glands and other organs. These animals sometimes had well-developed buboes, most commonly in the inguinal region.\n\nMice, rats, guinea-pigs, and rabbits confined in the same cages with infected animals usually died of the disease.\n\nIV.—DIAGNOSIS OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.\n\nThe diagnosis of the plague is based upon the clinical characteristics and upon the morbid appearances above described, and upon the demonstration of the presence of the plague bacillus.\n\nIn the dead body, if the processes of decomposition are not too far advanced, the existence of the plague can be proved with certainty by demonstrating the presence of the bacillus in the spleen, the buboes, or in other affected organs, either by microscopical examination, or in twenty-four to forty-eight hours by culture experiments. I have never seen a case of plague without glandular swellings.\n\nA monkey, that chewed and sucked a piece of sugar-cane infected by a pure culture of the bacillus, died in five days of the disease. The post-mortem examination showed very slight swelling of the inguinal glands, great congestion of the intestine, and swelling of the mesenteric glands and of the spleen.\n\nIn the countries in which the plague is generally met with, if bacteriological methods of diagnosis are not available, the disease is liable to confusion with pernicious malarial fevers, with malignant typhus of rapid course, with splenic fever, and with other varieties of adenitis. The cases in which mistakes may most readily arise are, on the one hand, those in which, with severe general symptoms, no external buboes make their appearance; and on the other hand those in which, with mild general symptoms, buboes appear the true nature of which is not suspected. But in well-marked cases of plague, with pronounced general symptoms and well-developed buboes, there can, even in the absence of bacteriological investigation, be little difficulty in diagnosis.\n\nA pig ate the spleen of a man that had died of plague; the animal lost flesh rapidly, suffered from diarrhea, and died of plague in twenty-two days. The post-mortem examination showed hæmorrhages in the abdominal walls; the inguinal glands were swollen to the size of a hazel-nut and bluish-red in colour, the sub-maxillary glands were swollen to the size of a hazel-nut, the mesenteric glands were swollen to the size of a bean or a hazel-nut and of a bluish-red colour; there were hæmorrhages in the mesentery, with much congestion and swelling of the stomach and intestinal walls, hæmorrhages in the mucous membrane, and swelling of the intestinal follicles; the spleen was enlarged, the kidneys were swollen and congested, and the lungs engorged with blood. The plague bacillus was found in the interior of the organs, in the glands, and in the blood. Another pig, inoculated subcutaneously on the abdomen with a small fragment from a bubo, died of the plague in forty days. The appearances on post-mortem examination were substantially the same as those just described. The site of inoculation showed moderate congestion and swelling.\n\nTwo cats that ate portions of a bubo were ill for seven days and became very thin, but recovered. Fowls that swallowed fragments of organs, and matter infected with pure cultures, died as a rule after three or four days. Plague bacilli were found in the blood and organs.\n\nPigeons were immune to subcutaneous inoculation.\n\nMice, guinea-pigs, and rabbits, when inoculated with cultures attenuated either by cultivation through several generations or by heat, were gradually rendered immune against inoculation with virulent cultures.\n\nBy successive inoculations from animal to animal with fragments of the organs or with blood, the virulence of the bacillus could be increased to a definite degree varying with the species of animal. By microscopical and bacteriological researches bubonic plague is shown to be a disease in which the blood, the organs, the saliva, the urine, and the fæces of those that are affected with or have succumbed to the disease contain a specific bacillus, pure cultures of which, inoculated into various animals, produce in these animals the same disease.\n\nAs already stated, plague can usually, in severe cases at any rate, be recognized by the examination of the blood. For this purpose, one of the finger-tips or a portion of the skin of the body must be carefully cleansed with soap and water, 1% sublimate solution, alcohol and ether, and pricked with a needle sterilised by heat. For direct microscopical examination the blood should be received on a cover glass; for cultivation, on a tube of agar or of alkaline gelatin-peptone solution. In stained preparations of blood, the bacilli are usually found in very small numbers only, two or three in a field or even in the whole preparation. In the agar tubes or in the peptone solution, in 24 to 48 hours, the bacilli grow in the manner already described. As before said, staphylococcus pyogenes aureus is frequently found in addition to the plague bacillus. If the bacillus cannot be detected at the first attempt, the blood must be examined day after day, and in this manner the organism will often eventually be discovered.\n\nIf the examination of the blood gives negative results, the urine, which nearly always contains albumen and plague bacilli, should then be examined. Cleanse the neighbourhood of the urinary meatus with sublimate solution, and while the patient is urinating suck up some of the urine with a sterilised pipette. The urine should then be examined in hanging-drops and in stained preparations; and with a few drops (about five) plate cultivations should be made. In hanging-drops the bacilli can usually be seen at once, sometimes in chains of three or four links. Stained preparations generally give the same results. On the agar-plates, after twenty-four hours, colonies of plague bacilli make their appearance; these are small, white or greyish-white, with a bluish sheen by reflected light, and with iridescent borders. In addition to the plague bacilli, pus-cocci are sometimes found; these are readily distinguished by their greater luxuriance of growth and by other peculiarities. For confirmation, cultures from the colonies should always be made on agar (coagulated with the tubes oblique), on bouillon, and on gelatine; inoculation of mice, rats, and guinea-pigs should also be undertaken. If no urine is passed, an attempt may be made, in case of need, to draw some off by the catheter.\n\nThe blood drawn by puncture from the buboes and from the other glandular swellings always shows the bacillus on microscopical examination and on cultivation.\n\nBy these methods the diagnosis of plague can almost always be made with certainty, alike in severe cases with or without buboes, and in milder cases.\n\nThe presence of the bacillus in the vomit, the fæces, and the saliva, can often be detected in the following manner.\n\nFirst make plate cultures, and from these make cultures on alkaline gelatin-peptone solution. In the latter, the bacillus grows along the bottom and the sides of the tubes. After twenty-four hours, these cultures should be examined microscopically, and fresh cultures should be made.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 365139, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897", "page_number": 386, "title": "CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897", "content_text": "382\n\n3\n\nRates of exchange.\n\nHardly any statistics of junk trade available.\n\n2\n\nCHINA,\n\nTABLE of Contents-continued.\n\nPAGE\n\nTransit trade\n\n5\n\nShipping\n\n5\n\nBritish..\n\n5\n\nForeign..\n\n5\n\nChinese flag and sailing vessels not seen here\n\n6\n\nEmigration\n\n6\n\nStraits and Siam passenger trade\n\n6\n\nHong-Kong passenger trade..\n\n6\n\nConclusion\n\n7 to 9\n\nBritish passenger steamers\n\nTables I, II, III, and IV\n\nThe rates of exchange which are employed in this report for the conversion into sterling of the Haikwan tael values given in the returns of the Imperial Maritime Customs are 3s. 4d. per Haikwan tael for 1896, 3s. 3¼d. for 1895, and 3s. 2¾d. for 1894.

There was a very satisfactory increase in the total trade of this port during the year under review compared with 1895; though the figures of the trade for 1894 were not reached, except in the case of exports, which were of about the same value in the two years. The net total imports from abroad amounted to £244,609 6s. 8d. in value, and from Chinese ports to £299 10s. 0d. Produce of local origin was exported to foreign countries to the value of £210,300 16s. 8d. and to Chinese ports to the value of £4,821 3s. 4d. The net total value of the trade of the port was thus £460,030 16s. 8d., the corresponding value for 1895 being £390,075 3s. 6d., and for 1894 £495,872.\n\nJunk trade.\n\nImports. Foreign opium.\n\nThe total value of the goods of foreign origin brought to Hoihow by junk from Hong-Kong was only £324 in 1896, against £1,364 4s. 2d. in 1895. On the other hand, £1,605 6s. 8d. worth of foreign goods were imported from Macao in this way and £1,383 5s. 0d. worth in 1895. Junks brought to Hoihow in 1896 £1,110 6s. 8d. worth of native produce from Swatow, £606 worth from Macao, and £81 3s. 4d. worth from Hong-Kong; there were also considerable shipments by native craft from Hong-Kong and Macao to several places within the trading area of this port; including £1,800 worth of paddy and rice sent from Hong-Kong to Chikhom on the Leichow peninsula opposite this island.\n\nThere was a considerable increase in the quantity of foreign opium imported by steamer during 1896, being 435 cwts. 10 lbs., worth £31,527 6s. 8d., as compared with 388 cwts. 87 lbs. worth £28,290 8s. 4d. during 1895. This came almost entirely by way of Hong-Kong. No opium was re-exported during 1896, whereas 42 cwts. 19 lbs., worth £3,245 16s. 3d., were sent back to Hong-Kong in 1895. Besides the above, 88 cwts. 36 lbs. of foreign opium, entirely Patna, were imported into Hainan ports during 1896 by junk from Macao, the figures for 1895 being 58 cwts. 84 lbs., considerably less; but for 1894 94 cwts. 80 lbs., only a little more than in 1896. No opium was brought from Hong-Kong during any of these years. Putting the above figures together, the net import of foreign opium into the island of Hainan was 523 cwts. 46 lbs. in 1896 and 405 cwts. 40 lbs. in 1895.\n\nNo native opium was passed through the foreign customs in the year under review. I have been informed that the total import last year was about 800 cases, each weighing 48 lbs., of Yunnan, Kweichow and Kwangsi opium, and a few pounds only of Ssuch'wan opium. The last variety is said to be not liked here.\n\nThe following remarks on the various kinds of native opium on this market may be of interest.\n\nVarieties, price, &c.\n\nThree kinds of Yunnan opium are imported; the first in balls weighing from 4 to 8 ozs., another, also in balls, but much larger, weighing between 18 and 30 ozs., and the third in cubes, wrapped up in bamboo leaves, measuring about 3 inches by 2½ inches by 2½ inches, and weighing about 1 lb. The last kind is said to be \"milder\" than the others, the first kind being the one generally preferred for smoking. All three kinds cost $31 per Chinese ounce (1¼ oz. av.).\n\nThe opium which comes from Kweichow province is practically similar in all respects to the Yünnan opium.\n\nKwangsi opium is made up in the same way as Yunnan opium, but is a little cheaper, costing about $30 per Chinese ounce.\n\nThere is only one kind of Ssuch'wan opium imported, namely, it is very soft—like mud, the large balls weighing 40 to 66 ozs. Chinese say—and is not considered as good as the Yunnan, Kweichow and Kwangsi varieties. It costs $29 or $30 per ounce.\n\nChinese\n\nYünnan, Kweichow, and Ssuch'wan opium come here by junk from Pakhoi. Kwangsi opium comes either the same way as the others or by junk from the small ports to the north-east of the Leichow peninsula.\n\nThere is a considerable rise to be noted in the import of Kerosene. American kerosene compared with 1895, and a corresponding fall in the quantity of Russian kerosene. The import of Sumatran oil remained pretty steady. The weight of the tins in all three cases is similar, and the Russian oil is even 5 or 10 c. a tin cheaper; but the Chinese say the American oil is better, as it has a bluish colour, the Russian being reddish. They say, moreover, that the Russian tins are not so good as the American tins, and oil is frequently lost through leakage.\n\nBesides the 634,690 gallons of kerosene shown in Table II as being imported during 1896, 1,080 gallons were brought to Hoihow, and 12,740 gallons to Tamchow, 70 miles distant, by junk from Macao.\n\nKIUNGCHOW.\n\n(48)\n\nPage 383\n\n...\n\nPage 383", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 365145, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897", "page_number": 392, "title": "CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897", "content_text": "# KIUNGCHOW.\n\n## TABLE of Contents-continued.\n\n| PAGE | \n| --- | \n| 3 | Rates of exchange. |\n| 388 | \n| 5 | Transit trade |\n| 5 | Shipping |\n| 5 | British.. |\n| 5 | Foreign.. |\n| 5 | Chinese flag and sailing vessels not seen here |\n| 6 | Emigration |\n| 6 | Straits and Siam passenger trade |\n| 6 | British passenger steamers |\n| 7 to 9 | Hong-Kong passenger trade.. |\n| 9 | Conclusion |\n| | Tables I, II, III, and IV |\n\nThe rates of exchange which are employed in this report for the conversion into sterling of the Haikwan tael values given in the returns of the Imperial Maritime Customs are 3s. 4d. per Haikwan tael for 1896, 3s. 3¼d. for 1895, and 3s. 2d. for 1894.

All three kinds cost 31 c. per Chinese ounce (1 oz. av.).\n\nThe opium which comes from Kweichow province is practically similar in all respects to the Yunnan opium.\n\nKwangsi opium is made up in the same way as Yünnan opium, but is a little cheaper, costing about 30 c. per Chinese ounce.\n\nThere is only one kind of Ssuch'wan opium imported, namely large balls weighing 40 to 66 ozs. It is very soft—like mud, the Chinese say—and is not considered as good as the Yunnan, Kweichow and Kwangsi varieties. It costs 29 or 30 c. per Chinese ounce.\n\nYünnan, Kweichow, and Ssuch'wan opium come here by junk from Pakhoi. Kwangsi opium comes either the same way as the others or by junk from the small ports to the north-east of the Leichow peninsula.\n\n### Trade routes of native opium.\n\nThere is a considerable rise to be noted in the import of Kerosene. American kerosene compared with 1895, and a corresponding fall in the quantity of Russian kerosene. The import of Sumatran oil remained pretty steady. The weight of the tins in all three cases is similar, and the Russian oil is even 5 or 10 c. a tin cheaper; but the Chinese say the American oil is better, as it has a bluish colour, the Russian being reddish. They say, moreover, that the Russian tins are not so good as the American tins, and oil is frequently lost through leakage.\n\nBesides the 634,690 gallons of kerosene shown in Table II as being imported during 1896, 1,080 gallons were brought to Hoihow, and 12,740 gallons to Tamehow, 70 miles distant, by junk from Macao.\n\n### Import by junk.\n\n(48)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370089, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 172, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "content_text": "Rocks are largely used by streams in land for bridging 169/. \n\nFurther inland, other trap rocks appear, while some by bay mirs have a very distinct, terraced and step-like appearance.

There are in places evidences of volcanic action, but of a very remote period, while the granitic and trappean rocks are very prominent everywhere. The hills facing Hong Kong are chiefly of granite, of which many varieties occur, from a fine close-grained felspathic white rock and a pink coloured granite like that of Aberdeen, to a very coarse porphyritic granite. Kaolin probably exists, but I did not come on any defined beds of it, though told that it was to be found near the west point of Castle Peak Bay. Syenite is common and of very good quality, a dark, highly crystalline variety, in many cases the large distinct crystals of hornblende being well shown.\n\nThe bold and rocky east coast shows some very characteristic cliffs of columnar basalt, and blocks of this, an almost black and highly crystalline rock, are largely used for bridging streams inland.\n\nFurther inland other trap rocks appear, while some of the islands in Mirs Bay show very distinctly the terraced and step-like appearance of these formations. The more compact and crystalline varieties seem to predominate, though trap tuffs and claystone porphyries are not absent. Specimens of basalts, greenstones, and felspar porphyries were numerous.\n\nIt is extremely difficult in such a country as I have described, where the varieties of trap rocks are so numerous and so mixed up with rocks of the granitic system, to say what other rocks may not exist. One thing is certain, there is everywhere an abundance of the best building material, and for road macadamizing nothing could surpass the hard basalts.\n\nIn one or two places I came on distinctly stratified rocks, of a hard, crystalline, close-grained variety, dark grey or bluish grey in colour, which I would call syenitic gneiss.\n\nPure quartz rock is uncommon, though in places distinct out-crops of quartzite were to be seen. I saw no mica schists, and except in the pure granites mica is not to be seen.\n\nTalc also is absent, but hornblende appears everywhere, and I should say chlorite schists, hornblende schists, and actynolite schists are fairly common.\n\nI saw no limestone, all lime used in buildings being obtained from the burning of coral or oyster shells.\n\nThe lower hills between the mountain ranges are of laterite, rounded or conical in shape, and well covered with vegetation, combining to form the extremely picturesque scenery usually associated with such formations. The richly cultivated valleys lying between, formed by the denudation of the surrounding mountains, seem in most cases to have a few feet of good soil overlying laterite; some excavations, as in wells, showed this distinctly. The laterite is what would be called a coarse cabook in Ceylon, fit for cutting out in blocks for building purposes. This is extremely like the disintegrated granite of Hong Kong, but contains more silicate of alumina and oxide of iron, the latter showing in large nodules.\n\nSome excellent pottery clay exists on the slopes of Tai Mo Shan, of which we saw specimens in the village of Un Long, of a light brown colour and extremely fine texture. Brick clay is found in all the valleys, and is used in the form of large sun-dried bricks in many of the village houses and walls.\n\nPossibly beds of primary limestone will be found, but the lime obtained by the burning of shells is sufficient for local needs.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370133, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 216, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "content_text": "Jaime Shan \n\n22 \n\nThe burning of coral or shells is, as a rule, better for building purposes, so the absence of rock limestone, if such turns out to be the case, does not matter. A lead mine was worked for some years on the side of Tai-Mo Shan, but the working discontinued for some reason about 6 years ago. Galena was also found near Kowloon, and on the north side of Lantao, and elsewhere. These workings should be examined by a mining expert, and the richness of the ore ascertained. The natives also speak of alluvial tin being found. Silver and lead were worked on the south of the island of Lantao within recent years, but without success financially, possibly due rather to Chinese official interference and bad management than to the absence of a paying richness in the ore. Expensive buildings were erected on the sea-shore, and machinery said to have cost 100,000 dollars imported and erected. Even when the speculation collapsed, the plant was valued at $30,000, all of which is said to have been abandoned. Only the foundations and cement floors of some of the buildings remain, and the brick chimney shaft of the smelting works.\n\nOn the Tai Mo Shan range, gneiss, syenite, and trap rocks predominate. Massive boulders of gneiss of a bluish grey or greenish colour are scattered over the mountain side and in the ravines. On the slopes in which the best pasturage is found, there is a stiff yellow clay, with veins of quartz gravel.\n\nThe smaller Lantao Island is chiefly granite on the south face and trap rocks on the north, the latter being consequently much better covered with vegetation and trees. Islands, such as Cheung-chau, P'ing-chau, and Lamma, seem to be almost entirely granite.\n\nIt will be understood that as only 12 days in all were spent in the exploration of the mainland and islands, no accurate or close geological survey was possible; the predominating rocks were judged as much from the stone used in the paved footpaths, stream crossings, sea walls, and houses, as from the bed rocks on the hill sides, usually difficult of access. This geological description of the country is, therefore, of a very sketchy and imperfect character, and a closer and more careful examination by a professional geologist, or an expert in mineralogy, will doubtless bring to light much that has escaped my observation.\n\n## Appendix No. 3.\n\n### TABLE SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF RACES.\n\n| No. | Division | Punti | Hakka | Total Population in each Division | No. of Villages | Population |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 4 | Cn-Long... | 9918 | | | | |\n| | | Punti | | 5,000 | 4 | 5,000 |\n| 2 | Sham Chun | Punti | 20 | 12,900 | | |\n| | | Hakka | 6 | 1,180 | 26 | 14,080 |\n| 3 | Sha Tau Kok | Hakka | 51 | 8,530 | | |\n| | | Punti | 1 | 70 | 55 | 8,600 |\n| | | | | | 49 | 20,980 |\n| | | | | | 10 | 2,040 |\n| | | | | | 59 | 23,020 |\n| 5 | (How Loon) | | | | 60 | 10,210 |\n| | Kau Lung (Koudron) | Punti | 22 | 5,830 | | |\n| 6 | | Hakka | 32 | 9,200 | 54 | 15,030 |\n| 7 | Islands | Punti | 5 | 9,150 | | |\n| | | Hakka | 31 | 4,460 | | |\n| | | Tanka | 7 | 110 | 43 | 13,720 |\n| Total | | | | | 423 | 100,320 |\n| 5 | Sheung Ü | Punti | | | | |\n| | | Hakka | :: | :: | 10 | 23 |\n\n## No. 4\n\n### Report on Appendix\n\nOne of the first and most pressing needs is a good cart road on an easy trace from the shores of Mirs Bay, where it approaches nearest to Kowloon city, over to British Kowloon. Such a road can readily be made as a continuation of the road already constructed on the west side of the peninsula to Mong-kok-tsui. The trace would pass through Tai-kok-tsui and along the sea coast past Lai-chi-kok, Kei-pa-kang, &c., rising by an easy gradient until it passed round the end of the southerly mountain range, and entered the valley leading down towards Sha-tin Inlet in Mirs Bay. Leaving Sha-tin on the right, the trace would pass the villages of Tai-Wai, Cheung-Lung, Fo-tan, and keeping up by Kau-to, drop again to the important centre of Tai-po market, Tai-po Hiu at the head of Tolo harbour. From there, the road should follow the existing Tai-po paths up the valley to the north-west to Sham Chun. The line I have indicated only scales 22 miles on the map, and I am of opinion that a good carriage road trace would turn out to be not more than 25 or 26 miles. I put this road first, as I consider it far and away the most important; it would pass through the centre of the territory, and not only would afford rapid and easy access to Hong Kong markets for villagers with produce to dispose of, but would render the administration of the new territory simple. Besides this, there is daily communication by junks from different points on Mirs Bay with Tai-po-hiu and Sha-wai-tin.\n\nNext in importance, I would put a road from Sham Chün to Sha-au-kok or Starling Inlet. This road would be about 10 miles long and on very easy gradients, the greatest elevation between these two towns being only 80 feet above sea level.\n\nThe road on the east side of British Kowloon through Hung-Ho should be carried on to Kowloon city, and generally following the existing footpath through a low pass in the chain of hills, be continued on to the important town of Sai-Kung on the shores of Port Shelter. This road should eventually be continued across the dividing range to the shore of Tolo Harbour in Mirs Bay.\n\nThe roads so far described should, in my opinion, be what I would designate as second-class carriage roads, 12 feet wide, all rivers and streams permanently bridged with stone or iron structures, stone cross drains, and surfaced with the best gravel or disintegrated rock obtainable locally, all soft ground having a bottoming of large stones; 1 in 18 should be the steepest gradients permitted. On such roads, Chinese ponies in light two-wheeled carriages could readily accomplish 8 miles an hour, bringing Sham-Chun within a three hours' drive of Kowloon. I roughly estimate the cost of such roads at $10,000 a mile, but in the absence of surveys and sections, this must be considered rather of a guess.\n\nBesides these, some good bridle roads should be constructed, the most important being one leaving the first main road above described where it enters the valley leading to Sha-tin, skirting the hills close above Tsun-wan, following the telegraph line path through one of the gaps on Tai-Mo-Shan down into the Pat-heung Valley, and so on to Un-long-hiu and Ping-shan by Kam-tin. A road joining Lung-hau with Sham-Chun would also be desirable. Another useful road would be one connecting Pat-heung Valley with Tai-po-hiu through the Lam-tsün valley, a low ridge of hills between the two making this a simple matter. These bridle roads should be 6 feet wide, with stone culverts over the smaller streams, and paved fords over the larger ones, to save expense in bridging. The gradients should be limited to 1 in 10, but carriage road gradients adopted if possible, with a view to future developments. The natural surface might be left. I estimate that such roads should not cost more than $2,000 a mile.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 373743, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "page_number": 473, "title": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "content_text": "eap\n\nstirred to sedition and led out unto the wilderness the four thou\n\nsand men that were murderers ?” than was Mr. Zahn at this question. But this was not enough! The priest knew further that these five hundred men were concealed in the neighbourhood, and he had certain information that these same men were led by Mr. Zahn himself and that it was intended to make an inroad on Pak-kong that might in order to perpetuate the hideous crimes which they had already concocted. Mr. Zahn on hearing this story, so ingenious and complete a turning upside down of the real state of things, might well, if his hands had not been bound, have used them to rub his own eyes and so convince himself that he was not dreaming. Under the circumstances, however, he could only express his astonishment in words, telling the priest that he, Mr. Zahn, neither went to Canton, nor was authorized by the German Consul to play the part of a captain of robbers, and that the thought of making a hostile inroad upon a peaceful village like Pak-kong, in order to murder a Catholic priest or Chinese Catholics or rob, never entered his mind. Though the priest seemed a little put out of countenance, upon hearing Mr. Zahn defend himself, his face resumed its scornful expression as soon as he heard the surrounding Chinese telling him that Mr. Zahn was an impudent liar, who was not worth listening to. Finally he asked his prisoner whether he would promise to disband his followers and prevent them from attacking his, the French priest's, people; then he would loose him from his chains. Mr. Zahn told him that he could not do this since the band of robbers spoken of was purely imaginary.\n\nAfter a little while Mr. Zahn was released from his fetters. The priest gave him, instead of his own wholly tattered, blood-stained garments, a suit of Chinese clothes. He was also desirous to get some food for Mr. Zahn and his companion, but said that he would cause him to be fettered again if the attack he spoke of was carried into effect. The terror of the priest, who seemed to really believe Mr. Zahn to be a captain of robbers, seemed almost contemptible to his prisoner. Since he seemed to be not more than about twenty-five years old, Mr. Zahn excused him for not knowing that the weapons of Protestant missions were not swords, pistols or cannon balls, of which last he saw one lying in the chapel! No doubt it was merely a means of self-defence, as were also the gun and sword with which this priest was armed! The Chinese who spoke to him on bended knees had filled his mind with these evil stories, and he in child-like innocence believed all they said! They also accused Mr. Zahn of having severely wounded two men at the time of his arrest. The priest was foolish enough to believe this also. He ordered Mr. Zahn to pay an indemnity, but finding that all his money had been stolen, he commanded him to write a letter to Dr. Kuhne at Tung-kun and to ask that $20 be paid! Mr. Zahn did as he was bidden, in order to get his people at Tang-kun informed of his whereabouts and his helpless condition. Afterwards he examined the two persons reported as hurt, and ascertained that they suffered from old wounds, certainly not caused by any kicks administered by him. When he invited them to bring these two sufferers to their hospital at Tang-kun, where they would be treated by their doctor, \n\nHe was received the answer that this was impracticable. told why.\n\nnot\n\nMeanwhile the night drew on. No evening prayers were held as is the practice in Protestant chapels. The fierce-looking men with their arms, squatting on the floor, the remnants of the beasts butchered en masse and the sentries set on watch here and there all reminded Mr. Zahn of a den of robbers rather than of a Christian chapel. Before he went to rest the priest examined the sentries and asked: \"All ready\"?\n\nMr. Zahn was directed to sleep on a Chinese bed, while his fellow-sufferer had to spend the whole night on a stool, with a heavy chain around his neck. A sentry was posted at Mr. Zahn's side, with strict orders to kill him as soon as the \"Protestant robbers\" came in sight.\n\nWhat else happened that evening—the conversation between the priest and his prisoner, the diabolical calumnies alleged by the Chinese against Mr. Zahn (the priest himself did not blush to allege in the presence of these villains that the Protestant church was an institution full of immorality and obscenity)—of these we will say no more.\n\nThe next morning was Sunday. The priest who seemed to be in more complete possession of his senses than he was on the night before, became distinctly more friendly. He asked his prisoner how he slept, and what he wanted to eat. Finally he told him that he was at liberty to go home, but that his companion, who, he said was a most pestilent fellow, was to stay in bonds. It was not until Mr. Zahn emphatically declared that he would not leave the place without his companion, that the latter also was unfettered and allowed to go where he liked. Sunday evening both arrived completely exhausted at Tung-kun, where the whole community was in a state of alarm at the frightful reports that were current, and full of anxiety for Mr. Zahn's safety.\n\nPère Julien remained three days longer at Pak-kong and did not move a finger to hinder his people from taking away the entire harvest, not only of Pak-kong, but also of the adjacent village fields.

The officer Commanding the Sandpiper* is of opinion that this incident would have a good effect on the River.\n\n9. My submission No.582 of the 11th August 1899 will have acquainted their Lordships with my opinion of the necessity of another vessel of the \"Sandpiper\" class for patrolling the West River. The \"Tweed\" is available for service between Fuch-au and Samshui, but has too great a draught for navigating in safety the numerous creeks and canals between Samshui and Canton.\n\n10. A second or third vessel patrolling these rivers would certainly have a good effect, though their movements would probably be watched, and advantage taken of their being in another part of the River for any attacks to be made on vessels. Still, it should decrease the evil,\n\n11. To effectually Police the North and West Rivers, relieving China of her responsibilities in this respect, would take more vessels than are at my command of a suitable type, and I think would be perhaps better, certainly more cheaply, done by a Water Police Force stationed at the various ports, with fast steam boats at their disposal. The Governor of Hong Kong has had this matter under his consideration, and if so ordered, I would submit a scheme in agreement with him.\n\n12.

The Federated Malay States Auxiliary Hospital at Blackmore End would, in the Council's opinion, be quite worthy of support. The arrangements for it, which are very good and thorough, have been made by Sir W. Taylor of the Malay States Agency. \n\n3.

The Court has never in Hongkong sat in\n\nOriginal Jurisdiction on Fridays or Saturdays.\n\nThis leaves 4 days a week for such sittings, or 16\n\na month. Normally then the hearing would have concluded in 4\n\nmonths. Allowing for necessary intermissions such as vacations\n\n(Christmas, China New Year and Easter) total 25 days. Full Court\n\nsittings 9 days: Criminal Sessions 6 days: illness of witnesses\n\nand Counsel 4 days : say six months altogether.\n\nIn the ordinary course then the hearing would have\n\nconcluded at about the middle of June.\n\nNow as to the alleged prolixity of Counsel.\n\nA barrister is an educated man who specialises\n\nin the practice of advocacy by which he hopes to make a living.\n\nTo be successful he must be conscientious and hard working. Like\n\nall specialists he will have the defects of his qualities. If\n\nhe is prolix to no purpose, he very soon loses his practice.\n\nMr. Pollock. The two best advocates in the Colony Messrs. Sharp\n\nand Potter speak at considerable length in a case they consider\n\ndifficult: the first through excessive carefulness and anxiety\n\nto miss no point, the second from natural fluency.

Turning from the capital to the situation in the provinces, the difficulties in which the Chihli Party have placed themselves through their presidential countermove naturally given rise to increased activity on the part of their principal opponents, more especially the Anfu faction, whom they drove from power in the civil war of 1920, and strong rumours were current at the beginning of the present month that the Chihli leaders intended anticipating any hostile action by moving against the Anfu stronghold of Chekiang and Shanghai. They were doubtless more particularly alarmed at the possibility of Parliament and the ex-President establishing themselves at Shanghai under Anfu protection, with the moral support of Kden in the North and the Kuo Min Tang in the South. Here they were able to expel the Anfu leaders from Chekiang and Shanghai, their influence would extend unbroken from the Great Wall in the North to Fukien in the South and a very real danger to their position.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-482 - Public Offices - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 497605, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "page_number": 291, "title": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "content_text": "recently taken place adjacent to Olde in the Counties Colony, & Phuke f Earson by the H.K.

Sir,\n\nIN continuation of my despatches Nos. 44 and 45 of the 22nd and 23rd instant, I have the honour to report further on the local situation as follows:-\n\nCanton, June 25, 1925\n\nIn the forenoon of the 23rd, knowing that a monster demonstration was going to take place in the course of the day, the naval and civilian defence units of the British and French concessions took up their allotted posts with strict instructions—at least on this side—to keep, in so far as it was possible to do so, out of sight, and all persons not on duty were forbidden to appear on the back creek, opposite to the road along which the procession was to pass, so that nothing which might be construed as provocation could be charged against us. These orders were strictly observed. Through a British subject, recently engaged as liaison police officer by the city police, a request was the previous evening addressed to the French consulate that permission be given for the procession to enter Shameen by the French bridge and to leave by the British bridge, which request was of course not entertained.\n\nAt 11 A.M. two motor cars passed along the Shakee Street, on the other side of the canal, and distributed leaflets, signed by the cadets of the military school of the Kuangtung army, calling upon all and sundry to eject the foreigner. At about 2:30 P.M. the procession was at the end of the Shakee Street, which commences at the gate of the French bridge, and proceeded along the north bank of the canal. The only persons in the vicinity of our bridge were myself, the British senior naval officer, the superintendent of Shameen police, one or two naval officers, a member of my staff and some unarmed Chinese police, who, being Hakkas, had not walked out with the rest of the Chinese on the island on the 21st. (The customs employees left on the 23rd and the post office employees on the 24th) Unarmed Chinese police lined the road on the other side at intervals of about 50 yards and a company of armed soldiers took up positions under the verandahs of Chinese shops in the neighbourhood of the bridge. Three-quarters of the procession, consisting of labour, agricultural and other unions, marched along in an orderly manner with flags and banners, and I was actually on the point of leaving to send a telegram that all had passed off peacefully, when the senior naval officer remarked to me that perhaps it would be as well to wait until the students came along. In the course of a few minutes bodies of male and female students came in sight, and, on crossing the invisible line separating the British from the French concession, started to raise what I assumed to be college yells, and, in so far as I could understand, calling for cheers for the Kuo Min Tang. In other respects they did not differ from those preceding them.\n\nImmediately following on was a body of armed military cadets, dressed in dark bluish-grey uniforms, who halted at a point some 50 yards east of the bridge-head. I had in the meantime noticed a man get on a box at the mouth of Shoe Lane, which debouches on the canal side, and wave a fan, and at the same time an excited person waving a flag shouted derision at our party.\n\nSome members of the procession fell out, as I thought, to listen to what was being said, when suddenly a rifle shot was heard, and the procession broke up in disorder, rushing for shelter. Half a minute afterwards a volley was fired on to Shameen, and it was only when I found bullets spattering all around me that I realised that an attack was contemplated and beat a hasty retreat, as did those with me. Finding the senior naval officer and myself under fire, which was likewise affecting them, one of our posts in a building to the west of the bridge returned the fire, which was stopped on Commander Maxwell-Scott reaching it. As, however, firing at the island still continued, the other posts opened fire likewise, as did the French posts. This is all I personally witnessed.\n\nFiring from our side lasted intermittently for about 10 minutes, until the orders to cease fire could reach the further posts, all ways of communication being under fire. After this occasional shots were necessary to deal with snipers, who were very persistent on the other side. Even this was soon stopped by orders not to reply unless they became too dangerous. About 4:30 all firing on both sides stopped. The casualties on Shameen were French non-combatant killed, 7-8 Europeans and Japanese wounded, including 1 British subject—also non-combatant—comparatively seriously, and the Commissioner of Customs slightly. The casualties on the other side are reported to be 37 killed, including 1 woman, 4 students of the Canton Christian College and a teacher, and about 80 wounded.\n\nA despatch on subsequent developments follows.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

It was extended to Hankow, then to Tsingtao, and now at last it has reached the revolutionary capital of Kwangchow. Shameen Japanese supplied weapons and incited Chinese workmen to kill Chinese workmen.\n\nWith the inner propensities of wolves and dogs the cruel and inhuman imperialists (Britain and Japan), intending piecemeal to seize China, accordingly do not hesitate to adopt primitive savagery and the most cruel methods in order to repress the movements of the Chinese people and to harass their active vanguard, viz., the labourers and students.\n\nThis is a life and death crisis for us Chinese. If we do not rise and fight them we shall be their slaves for ever, and for ever encounter their butchery.\n\nThe whole populace of our country must rise up as one and immediately cancel all unequal treaties and overthrow imperialism.\n\nBROTHERS, HASTE TO ARISE, HASTE TO ARISE.\n\nThe Military College of the Nationalist Party (Luk Kwan).\n\nEnclosure 3.\n\nHASTE TO ARISE.\n\nConsul-General Jamieson to Mr. Palairet.\n\n(No. 47.) Sir,\n\nCanton, June 25, 1925.\n\nIN continuation of my immediately preceding despatch, I have the honour to report that yesterday morning Mr. Robert Norman came to see me at 8:30 to tell me that the events of the preceding day had created a violent anti-foreign feeling not only in Government circles, but amongst the populace, and to ask me to be good enough to furnish him with a statement as to what actually took place, so that he might be in a position to correct wrong impressions.\n\nThis of course was at once furnished, and whilst we were talking there was handed to me a despatch from the Civil Governor, holding me responsible for all that had happened and accusing me of having committed a premeditated outrage. An identic despatch was addressed to my French and Portuguese colleagues.\n\nI enclose copies of my reply thereto, and of a letter from M. Leurquin anticipating the Civil Governor's protest.\n\nMr. da Horta contented himself with a two-line note denying that the \"Patria\" had fired a single shot. The other consuls—de carrière and merchant—received an identic communication couched in the usual terms of protest. My American colleague was requested to visit the Civil Governor at 1 P.M., with a view to seeing what could be done by way of mediation. Accompanied by Captain Cousten of the United States navy, Mr. Jenkins went into the Yamen, where he was met by Mr. Fu Ping-hsiang, the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and the upshot of the conversation appears to have been that ultimately some sort of commission of investigation is to be set up, on which it was suggested that the American and the German consuls might sit, with a view to collecting statements on oath as to what actually occurred.\n\nI have let it be known, and my French colleague concurs in this with me, that I am quite prepared to assist in procuring such evidence, but that I will not permit any...\n\n510", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-495 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 505780, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926", "page_number": 502, "title": "CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926", "content_text": "493\n\n(8)\n\nthe Kuo-min-Tang.

Palairet, C.M.G., British Chargé d'Affaires, Peking, to the Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs.\n\nSir,\n\nI had the honour to address a Note to Your Excellency on the 25th ultimo protesting against the firing by Chinese on the island of Shameen on 23rd June. I have now received a dispatch from His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton relating what took place on the occasion in question. The substance is as follows:-\n\nIn the forenoon of 23rd June, knowing that a monster demonstration was to take place in the course of the day, the Naval and civilian guards charged with the defence of the British and French Concessions took up their allotted posts with strict instructions to keep as far as possible out of sight. All persons not on duty were forbidden to show themselves on Shameen opposite to the road along which the procession was to pass, in order to prevent any appearance of provocation. Those orders were strictly observed.\n\nAt 11 a.m. two motor-cars passed along opposite Shameen distributing leaflets issued in the name of the commander of the Kwangtung army, of violently inflammatory nature, calling on the public to rise and fight the Imperialist foreigners.\n\nAt 2.30 p.m. whilst the procession was passing opposite to Shameen, the only persons in the vicinity of the bridge connecting the British Concession with the mainland were His Majesty's Consul-General and a member of his staff, several Naval officers, the Superintendent of the Shameen police and several unarmed Chinese police. On the mainland unarmed Chinese police lined the road at intervals of about fifty yards, and a company of armed soldiers took up positions under the verandahs of the Chinese shops in the neighbourhood of the bridge.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506440, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-498-23 Raising of money for coup d'etat in Canton 24-9-1926 - 3-1-1927", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-498-23 Raising of money for coup d'etat in Canton 24-9-1926 - 3-1-1927", "content_text": "## \nsubject to the commit the For.\n\ndinct \nconcen \n\nThe Hoop. and an \n\ngensally \n\ncontrol \n\nIt is \n\nhü \n\nков шиба 56 \n\nJ \n\nOwnu \n\nhave pows \n\nKleur \n\nherney \n\nOn \n\n心 \n\na \n\nthis advance is chaty \n\n9819044 \n\nthe divelas \n\nmortgage.
