It lacks coherent sentences and proper formatting.\n\n## Step 2: Identify potential corrections and reformat the text.\nUpon closer inspection, it's clear that the text is heavily corrupted. However, without a clear understanding of the original content, corrections are challenging.\n\n## Step 3: Apply the rules for OCR proofreading.\nGiven the rules, the task is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, rejoin broken sentences, and restore paragraph breaks without rephrasing or rewriting the content.\n\n## Step 4: Process the text according to the rules.\n1. The text starts with \"Treasury\" and \"Baristen,\" which could be correct or incorrect due to OCR errors.\n2. The sentence \"The Munster corcist hie hufessio formed minden als refects in 319 of concretle high operim Solector de of green leat abiles bemenenen, alternate perfects of Wishing you all mucouss success at the Bana\" is likely a jumbled mix of words. Potential corrections could involve \"The Munster correspondent\" or similar, but the rest of the sentence is unclear.\n3. \"From hote late fatte, my long acgeranton Blend way parties ales de fran bim & bisher Thoma Fretthets jeun de Mileges 2.C. permitte to add th\" seems to be another corrupted sentence.\n4. The final line \"I knew no home able\" could be a fragment of a sentence.\n\n## Step 5: Correct and reformat the text.\nGiven the heavy corruption and the rules to not rephrase or rewrite, a direct correction is challenging. However, basic formatting can be applied.\n\nThe best answer is: \nTreasury\n\nBaristen\n\n1. aho\n\nThe Munster correspondent ... formed ... in 319 of concrete high ... of green leaf ... alternate ... Wishing you all ... success at the ...\n\nFrom ... late ..., my long ... Blend ... parties ... de ... bim & ...

Nicht mehr Kunst und Liebe am Verkehr des Volkes, sondern Furcht ist es, was die Chinesen noch halbe und kümmerliche Zugeständnisse machen läßt.\n\nZwar ist es vornehmlich nur das eine europäische Volk der Portugiesen und Spanier, welche den Kulihandel hauptsächlich von der Station Macao aus, gewerbsmäßig betreiben, aber andere Nationen werden mit hineinverwickelt und betheiligen sich jetzt – die Deutschen nicht ausgenommen – bereits in ausgedehntem Maße daran. Der Reflex dieser abscheulichen Schändlichkeiten fällt auf alle Europäer, die in chinesischen Häfen verkehren, gleichmäßig, und wirkt lähmend, zerstörend und demoralisirend auf die ganzen Handelsverhältnisse ein, wie sie mit Mühe und Zeit in China sich haben herausbilden lassen. Wie schnell und tief das durch solche Uebergreife geschaffene Mißtrauen und die unsägliche Schlechtigkeit, die dieser Menschenhandel erzeugt, wirken können, sehen wir an Afrika, dessen Küsten-Völker den Teufel weiß malen, den Verkehr mit Europäern dem Verrath gleich achten und ganz im Gegensatz zu den Binnenvölkern auf das verachtendste und feindseligste ihnen zu begegnen, für gebotene Moral halten. Es ist schon jetzt nach kaum zwanzigjährigem Verkehr hohe Zeit, daß die europäischen Regierungen im Interesse der allgemeinen Wohlfahrt und Humanität ihres guten Rufs und des ferneren Handels mit den Ostasiaten nicht mehr erlauben, daß deren anfängliches Vertrauen und Entgegenkommen durch Menschenraub und Verleitung der Behörden zur unergründlichsten Verrätherei durch Bestechung mißbraucht und definitiv verscherzt werde.\n\nWenn man lesen muß, daß die japanischen Behörden ein peruvianisches Schiff, mit Kulis aus Macao befrachtet, welches auf seinem Wege nach Callao verschlagen, in Yokohama einzulaufen gezwungen war, sofort in Beschlag nahmen, die Gefangenen nach China zurücksandten und den Kommandanten des Schiffs, einen peruvianischen Marine-Kapitän, zu einer ehrenrührigen Strafe verurtheilten, so fragt man sich, wie dies möglich ist, da doch monatlich Kulischiffe in den holländischen Häfen Ostindiens, in Mauritius und Reunion, ja selbst in der Kapstadt einlaufen und sich dort, Kohle und Wasser einnehmend, wochenlang aufhalten, ohne im Mindesten von den europäischen Behörden dieser Häfen molestirt zu werden. Entweder that die japanische Behörde zu viel, oder diese letzteren vernachlässigten ihre Pflicht. Und wenn wir gegenüber mancherlei Zweifeln nun weiter vernehmen, daß diese unsre europäischen Beamteten ganz ebenso berechtigt gewesen wären, gegen die Kulischiffer einzuschreiten, wie die japanischen, und daß die Thatsachen ebenso himmelschreiend in den Häfen europäischer Kolonien, wie in Yokohama gewesen, womöglich noch schlimmer, und die Japaner ihrerseits für den Präcedenzfall, den sie schufen, die vollste Anerkennung jedes rechtlich gesinnten Menschen verdienten, so müssen wir mit Beschämung auf die Indifferenz blicken, die bisher allgemein gegen die Atrozitäten des Kulihandels in Europa geherrscht. Freilich fragen wir weiter, wie es möglich sei, in China derartige gräuliche Frachten zu kontrahiren. Giebt es dort keine Regierung, keine Behörden, die ihre chinesischen Unterthanen vor Gewalt, Raub und Betrug schützen? Und wäre es nicht einfach, diesen die fernere Fürsorge zu überlassen?\n\nAbgesehen davon, daß ein solches laisser faire unsern civilisatorischen Bestrebungen kaum entsprechend und ebenso unklug als moralisch verwerflich sein würde, müßte die Kompetenz der Chinesen über europäische Schiffe in ihren uns eingeräumten, von ausländischen Statthaltern und Konsuln besetzten Häfen dermaßen erweitert werden, daß jeder Uebergriff ihrerseits sich rechtfertigte und der Weg zu einem entschiedenen Rückschritt im Verkehr zwischen den westlichen und östlichen Kulturvölkern gebahnt sein würde. Unsere Indifferenz, unser \"Laisser faire\" würde, mit Recht, sich in beschämender Weise strafen. - Beides aber ist nicht nur diese Indifferenz unleugbar vorhanden, sondern es fehlte sogar nicht an Aufmunterung und Unterstützung dieses unverhüllten Menschenraubs und raffinirten Sklavenhandels. Portugiesen betrieben ihn planmäßig mit voller Sanktion ihrer Regierung, und die holländische Kolonialregierung hat mehrfach dazu die Hand geboten, entlaufene Chinesen einzufangen und nicht in ihre Heimath, sondern wieder an ihre Peiniger auszuliefern. Ganze Frachten von an der javanischen Küste gestrandeten Schiffen wurden auf diese Weise für die Sklaverei behördenmäßig eingefangen und aufbewahrt, auch französische Kriegsschiffe haben sich in dieser Richtung hervorgethan, da sie im Dienste ihrer Seelenverkäufer einer Auslieferungsweigerung gegenüber ihre Breitseiten aufwachten. Ja, neuerdings beschäftigen die Holländer sogar Kulisklaven in ihren Kriegen gegen die Atchinesen. Ferner ist zu konstatiren, daß auch englische Hafenkommandanten, die unter ihrer Jurisdiktion mit Gewalt geraubten Chinesen sich zu befreien für nicht befugt hielten und selbst deutsche Konsuln, Rheder und Kapitäne sich in dieser Hinsicht Vorwürfen ausgesetzt haben. Erst neuerdings ist, hauptsächlich auf Anregung des in dieser Weise unermüdlich thätigen General-Konsul F. I. Sturz, eine Aenderung eingetreten. Derselbe hat wiederholt auch den deutschen Reichstag durch Petitionen aufgefordert, dahin zu streben, daß allen deutschen Schiffern bei Verlust ihres Bürgerrechts die Betheiligung an diesem Handel verboten sein solle, und somit in dieser Frage auf dem Wege der Kultur voranzugehen. Leider ist, was auch immer noch geschehen könne, zu diesem \"Vorangehn\" in gewisser Weise jetzt die Zeit verpaßt, denn die Engländer haben jenen Wink nicht an sich vorübergehn lassen und Ihrer Majestät Regierung hat nun ein Gesetz dekretirt, laut dessen wenigstens im Prinzip die Scheußlichkeit des Kulihandels, wie er von Seiten der Spanier, Portugiesen und Franzosen betrieben wird, als solche gewürdigt werden. Es darf hinfort kein Chinese unter Arbeitskontrakt von Hongkong in außereenglischen Schiffen und nach anderen als englischen Häfen überhaupt auswandern, und kein fremdes Schiff in diesem Hafen für den Kulihandel in Macao ausgestattet werden. Nicht minder hat die portugiesische Regierung ein Dekret gegen den Kulihandel von Macao aus gerichtet, vermag es aber bei der tiefen Korruption ihrer Kolonialbehörden ebensowenig dasselbe in Kraft zu setzen, als sie es in früheren Zeiten auch nur einen ihrer von England erzwungenen Beschlüsse gegen den Sklavenhandel auszuführen vermochte. So wird es uns denn nur übrig bleiben, zu gemeinsamen internationalen Maßregeln anzuregen, wie sie dem Sklavenhandel gegenüber gestanden, in Hongkong den Kulihandel für Piraterei zu erklären, wie dies in der That schon vom Richterstuhl aus geschah.\n\nEs hatten sich nämlich die in Macao eingenommenen Chinesen auf dem französischen Schiffe Penelope gegen Kapitän und Mannschaft erhoben und waren an die Küste angelaufen, wo sie sich zerstreuten. Einen dieser Kulis hatte die Schiffsmannschaft nachträglich wieder festgenommen und wegen Meuterei auf hoher See vor den Oberrichter Mr. John Smale gestellt, der ihn wider Erwarten aller Betheiligten freisprach. Er erklärte Meuterei auf hoher See für gerechtfertigt, soweit sie sich gegen Kulihändler richte, denn diese seien Piraten. Für wie ungenügend die englischen Maßnahmen, welche Engländern den Kulihandel gestatten, von eben diesem Mr. Smale noch gehalten werden, geht wohl daraus hervor, daß derselbe schon im Jahre 1868 Protest gegen die fernere Gestattung der Kulianfuhr selbst nach englischen Kolonien unter den noch bestehenden Reglements erhob, ein Protest, der aber nur zu einer Beruhigung der \"so heftig angeregten Frage\" von Seiten des Gouverneurs Veranlassung gab, da die chinesische Auswanderung nach den arbeitersbedürftigen englischen Kolonien ein viel zu wichtiger Gegenstand für alle Betheiligten sei, \"als daß sie vorzeitig nur auf leichte Gründe hin aufgehoben werden könnte.\" Bei den \"mangelhaften Reglements\" wäre allerdings, wie uns scheinen will, eine andere Beschwichtigung mehr an der Stelle und zu wünschen gewesen, daß das letzte Dekret der englischen Regierung weniger einseitig ausgefallen wäre.\n\nInsofern bleibt also der deutschen Regierung noch immer der Vortritt, durch Verbot der Kulifracht in deutschen Schiffen und Beschäftigung von Kulis durch Deutsche, soweit unbillige und gewisse Normativ-Bedingungen überschreitende Paßrechte und Sohnkontrakte dabei im Spiel sind, die Nothwendigkeit der erwähnten Maßnahmen zu demonstriren. Es würde dieses Vorgehen für unser Verhältniß zu den ostasiatischen Völkern, als politische Landmacht einerseits und als zukünftige Seemacht von wesentlichem Einfluß sein und von Seiten der Japaner und Chinesen nicht ohne Erkenntlichkeit aufgenommen werden.\n\n## \nAus den verschiedensten Berichten von Augenzeugen gewinnen wir durchweg die eine unerschütterliche Ueberzeugung, daß die Lehre vom \"freien Vertrag\" sich in diesen Regionen nicht bewährt.\n\nEin solcher freier Vertrag lautet zuweilen – wenn auch selten – unverfänglich, ist aber stets die unverschlossene Thür zu den ärgsten Mißbräuchen, und dessen Unterzeichnung wird, was das abscheulichste ist, von portugiesischen Beamten, von den Chinesen im gefangenen Zustande erzwungen und von peruvianischen oder spanischen Konsuln legalisirt und mit ihrem respektiven National-Wappen versehen in einer dem Chinesen unverständlichen Sprache aufgesetzt, denn das entsprechende, nicht gleichlautende, sondern von hohen Verheißungen voll chinesische Dokument, wird ihm weggenommen, sobald man auf See ist. Der Vertrag ist dann nur rechtskräftig vor Richtern jener Länder, die, meist selbst Plantagenbesitzer, den armen Kontrahenten als guten Ersatz für die früheren Sklaven betrachten und als rechtlos laut Kontrakt behandeln. Auf diese mehr oder weniger subtile Weise werden fast alle armen Auswanderer zu den unsinnigsten Kontrakten gebunden - von denen einige sogar den Passagier für irgend eine imaginäre Summe, die man ihm vom Paßgeld will erlassen haben, auf Lebenszeit zu blindem Gehorsam verpflichten! Und dies findet nicht etwa in Macao allein, sondern auch in Swatow, in Amoy, in Foochow statt, während nebenbei noch die Möglichkeit besteht, Leute aus den besten Verhältnissen mit Gewalt wegzukapern und unter Deck einzusperren. Letzteres geschieht und geschah namentlich in den kleineren Häfen mit so unerhörter Frechheit, daß Europäer in vielen Orten sich nicht auf der Straße blicken lassen dürfen, ohne Gefahr zu laufen, der allgemeinen Wuth zum Opfer zu fallen. Andrerseits sind - und anders ließe sich das Umsichgreifen dieses Systems auch nicht erklären - trotz der größten Erbitterung des Volks die chinesischen Unterbehörden den Emigrantenkapitainen in allem bis auf den Geldpunkt sehr günstig. Trotz der bindendsten Vorschriften von Seiten der chinesischen Regierung, die ja leider eher dem Fremden jede Vergünstigung vorenthält und ihn also zur Bestechung der Beamteten selbst erzieht und nöthigt, weiß der Kulihändler sich ziemlich gut mit Hafenpolizei und Douaniers zu stellen, so daß sie selbst Menschenraub straflos begehen können, da die phlegmatischen Herren von der Behörde beneidenswerthe lange Bedenkzeit zur Disposition haben, ehe sie sich irgendwie einzuschreiten entschließen. Es steht zweifellos fest, daß sie zuvor ihren Geschäftsgenossen, den fremden Kapitän, von einem beabsichtigten Besuch benachrichtigen, worauf dieser im Nothfall echappiren und mit seinem Hause den Hafen verlassen kann. So führte im Jahre 1871 ein Engländer in Ping-o unverrichteter Sache bei den Mandarinen Klage über einen spanischen Kapitän, der bereits gegen 20 Chinesen aller Stände geraubt hatte, denn obwohl man einzuschreiten versprach, war es dem Spanier - und dennoch möglich, über Nacht den Hafen zu verlassen. Sobald vom Land hört die Gerichtsbarkeit auf.\n\nDie chinesischen Unterbehörden stehen aber nicht allein im Sold der Kulihändler selbst, sondern werden auch von den Besitzern der Spielhöllen, die in allen chinesischen Häfen zahlreich und privilegirt sind, zu Konniviren bewogen, natürlich mit demjenigen Mittel, das mehr als tausend Redner werth ist, wenn es gilt, einen Chinesen zu überzeugen. Diese Spielhöllen bilden den Abschaum für alle mauvais sujets in China und die größten Schurtereien, wie sie kaum wo anders als in China erhört sind, haben solche Treibhäuser des Lasters zur Wiege. Was man immer den Chinesen Gutes in Bezug auf Fleiß, Nüchternheit und Sparsamkeit nachsagen mag, und nachzusagen verpflichtet ist, so ist doch gewiß, daß sie fahrlässig in materieller und moralischer Hinsicht, gleichgültig gegen das Leben, fatalistisch und spielwüthig sind. Es giebt deren, die im Opiumrausch (und das Opium potenzirt all diese Laster) ihr Vermögen, und sich selbst ihre Freiheit dazu verspielen. Ist alles dahin, so nimmt man seine Arbeitskraft auf Lebenszeit zum Ginjah (gegen eine schon gewohnheitsmäßig feststehende Summe) von Seiten der Bank und ist, wie das Unglück, mehr oder weniger Eigenthum des Spielhöllenfürsten, der über Kraft und Zeit des Verlierers von dem Moment an verfügt und zwar in so ausgedehntem Maße, daß er ihn einsperren oder anderweitig vermiethen - auf Lebenszeit - also thatsächlich verkaufen kann. Dies geschieht dann auch, und da Arbeit in China selbst nicht sehr hoch im Werthe steht, auch kein Chinese sich gern mit einem dissoluten Sklaven, den er nicht kennt, auf Lebenszeit belastet, während so großes Angebot freier Arbeiter ihm zur Disposition steht, so ist es natürlich sehr viel vortheilhafter, den fremden Kapitän, der eine Fracht von Emigranten für Zucker- oder Kaffeeplantagen sucht, zum Geschäftsfreund zu haben, der einem den Landsmann und Kompatrioten gern für eine gute Entschädigung abnimmt. Daß dies eine der schrecklichsten Metamorphosen der Sklaverei ist, wer...",

        "content_text": "könnte es leugnen und wer würde nicht, so lange sich nicht zu einer rigorosen Umwandlung feiner Geschehnisse entschlossen hat, die das Naturrecht des freien Vertrags zu einem Menschenrecht veredelt und den verderblichen Opium - der ihm freilich von den Engländern aufgezwungen wurde - verbannt, die Regierungen Europas für verpflichtet halten, mit aller Energie der Wiederkehr der finstersten Missbräuche überwundener Kulturepochen vorzubeugen, wie sie hier die Bedingungen ihres Wucherns leider noch beieinander finden.\n\nLeiter regiert das Interesse mehr als billig die Welt. Wir werden von den Staaten, welche diese Kulis aufnehmen, kaum eine Änderung der Verhältnisse erwarten können. Man ist dort an die Sklaverei noch gewöhnt, derselben freiwillig zu entsagen noch kaum in der Lage, und nimmt die Kulis als Surrogat mehr als willig entgegen. Sind doch selbst die englischen Kolonien in Ost- und Westindien entschieden gegen ein Verbot der Kuli-Einfuhr aufgetreten; um wie viel weniger also werden die von Romanen bewohnten Länder Südamerikas irgend einer Regelung gern entgegensehen. Soeben erst erlässt der Staat Texas ein Gesetz, welches bestimmt, dass Einwanderer, welche einen im Auslande geschlossenen Kontrakt nicht halten, zur Zuchthausstrafe verurteilt werden sollen. Das ist gewiss eine Warnung für deutsche Kontraktlustige, denn tatsächlich besteht dieses Verhältnis für deutsche Arbeiter auf brasilianischen Plantagen schon seit einem Vierteljahrhundert, mehr aber als auf diese dürfte es auf die Kulis gemünzt sein, welche gerade das westliche Nordamerika als ihr Eldorado betrachten und dorthin mit einer Auswanderungswut sich drängen, die in den tollsten Zeiten in Deutschland nicht ihresgleichen fand.\n\nUm nur hinüber zu kommen, unterschreibt der unvermögende Chinese jeden Kontrakt, der ihm von einer der sieben großen chinesischen Kompagnien, welche dieses Transportgeschäft zwischen chinesischen Häfen und San Francisco betreiben und zwar nur auf den großen amerikanischen Dampfern, die auf jeder Reise an 800 bis 1000 solcher Leute mitnehmen, vorgelegt wird. Wenn auch diese Gesellschaften sich die Überfahrtskosten von 50 Dollars, wohl dreimal wieder bezahlen lassen, so machen sie sich doch keiner ausgesprochenen Gewaltätigkeit schuldig, so gewiss es auch ist, dass eine geheime Gerichtsbarkeit unter den Chinesen selbst in Kalifornien besteht, die in einigen Fällen sogar Todesstrafe verhängt und selbst im Stillen auszuführen weiss, und dass diese Gerichtsbarkeit vornehmlich im Interesse dieser Vorschussgesellschaften geübt wird. Diese Einrichtung scheint den Chinesen vollkommen zu konveniren und selten fällt es vor, dass einer der Herübergebrachten gegen die Gesellschaft Klage führte. Jedenfalls ist dieses nicht mehr Kulihandel, indem der zeitweilig verschuldete Chinese äusserlich ganz frei ist und seine Kräfte, wie ihm beliebt, verwerten kann, wobei er nur unter scharfer Beobachtung seiner Kreditoren bleibt, bis er seine Schuld allmählich abbezahlt hat. Es ist vielmehr ein gänzlich chinesisches Institut, bei dem kein Europäer oder Amerikaner beteiligt ist, auch bestehen dagegen Einwendungen nur Seitens solcher amerikanischer und irischer Arbeiter, welche die Chinesen wegen des geringen Tagelohns, den sie nehmen und wegen ihrer allgemeinen Anstelligkeit als Nebenbuhler hassen, und diesem Gefühl durch einen ausgeprägten Massenhas Ausdruck geben, der bereits mehrfache bedauerliche Ausschreitungen und ungerechte selbst grausame Behandlung der Chinesen hervorgerufen hat. Andrerseits finden Diese nicht nur Seitens der bereits sehr einflussreichen chinesischen Kapitalisten in San Francisco selbst, als \n\n4 \n\nauch Seitens der amerikanischen Kapitalisten und Arbeitgeber Schutz, wodurch dem bereits mehrfach versuchten Verhindern der Zufuhr derselben vorläufig wenigstens vorgebeugt zu sein scheint. Grösser ist in letzter Zeit der Widerstand gegen die Herbeibringung von chinesischen Frauen geworden und zwar infolge der Einmischung einiger frommer Gesellschaften, die Anstoss an der fast öffentlichen Versteigerung derselben unter den Chinesen nehmen, welche die genannten Gesellschaften sehr vortheilhaft finden, weil bis jetzt noch nicht 10 chinesische Frauen auf 100 Männer kommen und auf diese Weise sehr hohe Preise oft bis 1000 Thlr. für eine Frau bezahlt werden. Jene frommen Gesellschaften behaupten, dass viele dieser Frauen für öffentliche Häuser ersteigert würden. Bedauerlich wäre es, wenn auch aus diesem Grunde die Herstellung eines natürlicheren Verhältnisses durch die Herbeibringung einer weit grösseren Anzahl von Frauen als bisher erschwert würde.\n\nÜberflüssig ist hier zu bemerken, dass auf fast eine halbe Million Kulis, die sowohl in Peru als in Cuba seit 25 Jahren eingeführt worden sind, auch nicht eine Chinesin mitgebracht wurde, infolge wovon bei der Entartung, sowohl der Cubaner als der Peruvianer selbst, deren Sittenlosigkeit mit Einschluss ihrer Geistlichkeit bis ins Haarsträubende geht, diese unnatürlichen Zustände sich völlig entmenschlichend geltend machen. Der Transport von Frauen verbot sich an Bord von Schiffen, auf denen 500 bis 900 der Unglücklichen auf achtjährige Zwangsarbeit verschleppt, in enge, vergitterte Schiffsräume verpackt sind, von selbst, und wird sich so lange verbieten, als nicht mit energischen Gesetzesmassregeln und strenger Überwachung durch eine besondere dem Kapitän womöglich koordinirte Schiffspolizei gegen Fahrlässigkeit an Bord auf Emigrantenschiffen vorgegangen wird.\n\nDie Schilderungen dieser Gräuel an Bord sind zu peinlich, um sie wiederzugeben. Sei es gesagt, dass dort alle Entsetzlichkeiten der Sklaverei und der Folterkammern in der raffinirtesten Weise ihre Auferstehung feiern. Die grössten Entbehrungen sind selbstverständlich. Von Deck ausgeschlossen, in Schmutz und völlig putrider Luft, unter Eisengittern bei wahrhaftester Schweinekost (nennen doch die Chinesen, die selbst nicht entfernt europäische Begriffe in betreff der Reinlichkeit haben, diesen ganzen Handel: Schweinehandel) verbringt der Kuli die tropische Fahrt über den Ozean unter Seefrankheit und Ungemach. Jede Widersetzlichkeit wird auf das brutalste geahndet. So hängte man z. B. ohne grosse Provokation einen armen Kerl drei Stunden lang am Zopf an die Nagel bei bewegter See, und warf ihn, da er dieser Qual erlag, unregistrirt, unbesungen und unbetrauert über Bord den Fischen zu. Der Mann hatte eine Rede gehalten, was man ihm als Aufreizung auslegte und wofür man ihm den Mund auf ewig stopfte. Meist schlägt man, um sich einen Weg durch die Massen zu bahnen, blindlings mit Bleiknuten um sich und lässt etwaige Leichen im Raum bis zu gelegener Zeit liegen, wie tote Fische in einem grossen Prahm --- und dies sind Menschen, sind sogar vorzügliche Menschen, wirtschaftlich, spar- und arbeitsam! Drüben angekommen, versteigert man sie an den Meistbietenden und schlepppt sie auf irgend eine stille Plantage ins Inland, wo kein Hahn danach kräht, wenn sie von dort nimmer wiederkehren. Jedenfalls werden sie dort in einer Weise ausgenützt, die man dem früheren Sklaven gegenüber nicht anwenden konnte. Je näher der Ablauf der Vertragzeit, um so energischer arbeitet man auf die letzte Kraft des unglückseligen Chinesen los, dauert sie noch länger, schont man ihn anfangs und presst ihn erst zum Schluss aus - in jedem Falle ist der Kuli ein schwer betrogener Kontrahent und in den meisten \n\ntritt er, wenn er's überlebt -- dem Tode nahe, oder doch bis zum Tode geschädigt, als gebrochenes, ausgemergeltes, willenloses Skelett in den Zustand der Freiheit zurück, um alle Ausländer bis in seine Todesstunde hinein zu verfluchen und die Daheimgebliebenen durch seine schriftlichen Mitteilungen, deren er meistens fähig ist, mit Vorurteilen zu füllen, die durchaus berechtigt, sich früher oder später auf das Vorteilhafteste fühlbar machen dürften.\n\nDer Kuli ist nach Allem, was wir sehen und hören, ein Sklave - ein wertloser Sklave, wertlos insofern, als man nicht für seinen vollen Wert zu bezahlen braucht - was Wunder, dass er sogar noch schlechter behandelt wird, als der Neger. Er ist billige, spottbillige Ware. Wir haben es hier unterlassen, die Greuel ausführlich zu schildern, denen er ausgesetzt ist, und die, von Augenzeugen selbst hundertfach beglaubigt, instinktiv zur Ehre der Menschheit als unwirklich gedacht werden, da man in der Tat das Böse im Menschenleben schon ziemlich genau in seiner geheimen Rüstkammer kennen lernen musste, um zu ahnen, wie erbarmungslos zwei verschiedene Menschenrassen als Herr und Knecht, als Superkargo und Ware, als Spekulant und erschwindeltes Eigentum - man weiss, wie Schwindler spekulieren! - als spanisch-portugiesischer Matrose und mongolische Sklavenfracht miteinander verfahren. Man kennt doch Fälle, wo aus Kanonen mit Glasscherben unter die in Verzweiflung sich erhebende, verhungerte und verdürstete Masse gefeuert und die angeschossenen einfach über Bord geworfen wurden. Wer muss nicht innerlich wenigstens dem englischen Richter Smale Recht geben, wenn er diesen schrecklichen Handel für gleichbedeutend mit Seeraub erklärt und auf besondere Restriktionen und Überwachung der Kuliverträge dringt. Auf dem grünen Tische wird dergleichen kühl besprochen und in der „unnötiger Weise so hitzig angeregten Frage“ „beruhigend“ reagiert; wer aber wie dieser Richter Smale den Tatsachen Angesicht zu Angesicht gegenübersteht, oder ein wenig Bergegenwärtigungsgabe besitzt, um die Worte, die ihm derlei Schrecklichkeiten darstellen, mit Blut und Leben zu füllen, wird mit Energie Protest gegen die Fahrlässigkeit unserer internationalen Schifffahrts- und Handelsgesetzgebung erhoben wissen wollen, welche erlaubt, dass lebende Menschen wie elastische Güter verfrachtet und ihrer Freiheit beraubt wie verdorbenes Fleisch verschleudert werden sollen. Diese Menschenhandelsmoral ist wohl auf den Aussterbe-Etat gesetzt.\n\nÜberall, wo zwei verschiedene Rassen mit verschiedenen Anschauungen einander berühren, wird es besonderer Gesetze bedürfen, um das zu ersehen, was Verständnis und Sympathie in anderen Fällen tun, und um die eine Rasse vor Ausbeutung und Missbrauch durch die andere zu schützen, wenn anders nicht eventuell beide schwer geschädigt werden sollen.\n\nWenn wir nur dies durch die Kulifrage lernen und auf uns selbst anwenden, so lernen wir schon viel und haben allen Grund gehabt, dieselbe nicht zu unterschätzen.\n\nDas Kulihalten ist, wie aus Obigem hervorgeht, ganz ebenso verwerflich als der Kulihandel, und wie nur der Transport ganz freier Chinesen gestattet sein dürfte, so sollte auch ihr Engagement nur unter einem ganz freien Kontrakt mit womöglich gesetzlich festzustellenden Kündigungsfristen stattfinden können. Ein derartig bestimmt einschreitendes Gesetz scheint allein dem Missbrauch, der mit diesen gutgearteten, aber leichtsinnig vertrauensseligen Söhnen des himmlischen Reichs getrieben wird, steuern zu können.\n\nWenigstens müsste, wenn auch ein allgemeines Gesetz dieser \n\n5 \n\nArt vorläufig noch in weiter Ferne liegen sollte, Deutschland, das in gewisser Hinsicht durch die Wirksamkeit des Generalkonsuls Sturz die ideelle Initiative in dieser Frage zuschreiben kann, seinerseits unverzüglich vorgehen, um die gegebene Anregung über den toten Punkt der Indifferenz hinaus zu führen. Freut uns deshalb zu hören, dass die in voriger Periode nicht unbeachtet gebliebene Petition des genannten Herrn beim Zusammentreten des neuen Reichstags ihre definitive Erwägung finden soll.\n\nLeider sind die Deutschen nicht ohne Anteil an dieser Barbarei geblieben. Deutsche Schiffe sind wiederholentlich von Spaniern und Peruanern in Macao gechartert worden, um Kulitransporte nach Habana und Callao zu übernehmen, und einige deutsche Namen sind uns als vollziehende Konsuln in Macao, als Direktoren von Gesellschaften in Peru, als Plantagenbesitzer, Rheder u. s. w. genannt worden, die ohne Zweifel den Kulihandel betreiben und von demselben in seiner jetzigen unmenschlichen Handhabung Vorteil ziehen.\n\nUm so mehr also ist es erforderlich und um so mehr wenigstens ist es gerechtfertigt, dass von Deutschland aus ein Protest gegen diese Verunglimpfung des deutschen Namens erhoben werde. Ein solcher Protest ist eine moralische Strafe und verletzt niemanden als den, der es verdient; ein solcher Protest ist aber noch mehr; er ist die den Ostasiaten dargebotene Friedenshand zu einem Schutz- und Trutzbündnis gegen die finsteren Mächte des Schreckens und zügelloser Habsuchtsinstinkte, wo immer sie sich geltend machen sollten, und wird als solche von ihnen - wir zweifeln nicht daran - mit Dank angenommen werden.\n\nWas soll man aber zur englischen Regierung sagen, welche sich an der Spitze aller humanen Bestrebungen zu bewegen vorgibt, und unter deren Augen es möglich ist, dass die Glieder eines zivilisierten Volkes, wie das der Chinesen, welche fast durchweg lesen und schreiben können, und des tiefsten Gefühls fähig sind, in Demerara und auf Sumatra wie das liebe Vieh behandelt werden. Was soll man zu einer Regierung sagen, die ihrer Kolonistenaristokratie (freilich sehr fragwürdiger Natur, da sich die Söhne und Enkel transportierter Verbrecher unter dieselbe mischen), ihr Ohr leiht und auf Grund der grossen Sterblichkeit unter den Kulis eine erhöhte Zufuhr anregen und auf Grund des grossen Prozentsatzes der Kulis, die in Gefängnissen schmachten, diesen eine Entschädigungspflicht aufladen will.\n\nEs sollen die armen Chinesen, welche nach dem Gutdünken der die Gerichtsbarkeit ganz beherrschenden grossen Plantagenbesitzer in arbeitsloser Zeit eingesperrt werden können, diese so verbrachte Zeit nach Ablauf ihrer fünf oder achtjährigen Kontrakte ohne Lohn nacharbeiten müssen, falls sie überhaupt diese Periode überleben, was bei der systematischen Ausnutzung ihrer Kräfte gerade in den letzten Jahren ihrer Gebundenheit sehr selten der Fall ist. Dies scheint uns in Europa unglaublich, und doch sitzen die Urheber solcher Zustände abnungslos als die Blume der Gesellschaft mitten unter uns. Es sind die „absentees“, die Abwesenden, in Bädern und in der Gesellschaft mit Töchtern, Pferden, Equipagen, silbernen Servicen, fashionablen Diners hochangesehene Herren, welche das Geld eintreiben. Geld und immer wieder Geld soll der Verwalter aus der Kolonie nach Hause schicken und der Aufseher muss es fluchend den Chinesen abzwacken. Was aber sind ihnen diese? Sie sind durch ihren gerechtfertigten Widerstand verhasst, als Mitglieder einer andern Rasse, als stumme Köpfe mindestens gleichgültig, als in unverschuldetem Schmutz verkommende Ursache seiner Ungemächlichkeit widerwärtig.

Es wurde angenommen, daß unter den obwaltenden Umständen gewaltsame Befreiungsversuche auf hoher See nur als berechtigte Notwehr angesehen werden konnten.\n\nUnd wie oft werden derartige Versuche unternommen! Unterliegen die empörten Kulis der meist trefflich bewaffneten Schiffsmannschaft, so ist das Schicksal der Ueberlebenden um so schrecklicher. Behalten die Kulis die Oberhand, so schonen sie nur das Leben derer, welche erforderlich sind, das Schiff in den nächsten chinesischen Hafen zurückzusteuern.\n\n\"Eine etwas veränderte Gestalt zeigt der Menschenhandel in der Südsee. Dort fehlen mancherlei Rücksichten, die an den Küsten Chinas genommen werden müssen. Rober und gewaltsamer vermag der Menschenfänger der Südsee zu verfahren. Auf dem unermeßlichen Seegebiet Ozeaniens (Australien) ist eine Ueberwachung so gut wie unmöglich. Tiefer ist der Bildungsstand der zum staatlichen Leben noch nicht vorgeschrittenen Insulaner. Die hauptsächlichsten Absatzpunkte für den \"schwarzen Vogeljang\" sind die nördlichste der englischen Austral-Colonien, Queensland, die französischen Besitzungen von Neu-Caledonien und die Fidschi-Inseln, auf denen sich neben der eingeborenen Bevölkerung in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Engländer und Franzosen niederließen, um unter König Katobana's constitutioneller Regierung ihre Geldbeutel möglichst schnell zu füllen. Was zur Abstellung der scheußlichsten Verbrechen des Menschenfangs bisher von der englischen Colonialregierung oder von der Marine unternommen wurde, hat sich als eitle Spiegelfechterei erwiesen.\n\nDas Verfahren, das beim Einfangen der polynesischen Kulis beobachtet wird, ist in der Regel dieses: Sobald in der Nähe der Insel ein fremdes Schiff vor Anker geht, finden sich die Eingeborenen auf ihren Booten ein, um Tauschhandel zu treiben. Ist dies geschehen, so werden durch allerlei Veranstaltungen die Eingeborenen entweder auf das Verdeck gelockt, wozu man als Lockvögel einige Farbige mit sich führt, und alsdann eingefangen. Oder die Boote der Eingeborenen werden von der Schiffsbesatzung mittelst sorgfältig vorbereiteter Veranstaltung zum Umschlagen gebracht. Die alsdann Ertrinkenden werden durch Schrotflinten leicht verwundet oder mit Schlingen so lange gewürgt, auch mit Beulenschlägen betäubt, bis man sie an Bord gebracht hat. Einzelne Menschenfänger verkleiden sich als Missionare, verteilen wertlose Kleinigkeiten, stimmen fromme Gesänge an und täuschen dadurch die arglosen Insulaner. Ist die Ladung ausreichend, so werden die Eingefangenen durch Zwangsmittel aller Art belehrt, mittelst Aufhebung mehrerer Finger und Hersagens einer entsprechenden Ziffer, beispielsweise \"drei\" oder \"vier\", die Anzahl von Jahren auszudrücken, für welche sie sich freiwillig verdungen haben. Sobald alsdann der revidirende Consul in einem englischen Hafen die Eingefangenen mustert und besichtigt, verfahren diese \"vorschriftsmäßig nach der ihnen gewordenen Dressur\": Alles wird amtlich in Ordnung befunden und das Geschäft ist besorgt. Es ist unvermeidlich, daß auch in der Südsee von den Eingefangenen Befreiungsversuche mit meist unglücklichem und blutigem Ausgange unternommen werden.\n\nDen besten Aufschluß über den Hergang der Sache bietet die Geschichte des Piratenschiffes \"Star\" und der Strafproceß, welcher im Herbste 1872 theils in Sydney, theils in Melbourne gegen die Schuldigen verhandelt wurde. Zwei der Betheiligten, darunter der Capitain Armstrong, wurden in Sydney zum Tode verurtheilt; der Hauptschuldige, der Eigenthümer des Schiffes, ein Doctor der Medicin, blieb unverfolgt, nachdem er sich in seiner Eigenschaft als Denunciant die Straflosigkeit als \"Königszzeuge\" durch einen englischen Consul hatte versprechen lassen. Dr. James Patrick Murray, so hieß der Nichtswürdige, segelte im Juni 1871 mit dem \"Carl\" nach Levuka auf den Fidschi-Inseln, wechselte dort aus Vorsicht die Schiffsbesatzung und begab sich auf zwei Unternehmungen oder Geschäftsreisen. Auf einer dieser Reisen brach unter den geraubten Insulanern ein Aufstand aus. Sie bemächtigten sich einiger Bündel von Schiffsplanken, gingen ihren Peinigern zu Leibe, wurden aber durch den Gebrauch der Schußwaffen in ihren Käfig unter Deck zurückgetrieben und hier eingenagelt. Nicht nur die zahlreichen Todten wurden den Wellen preisgegeben, sondern auch sechzehn Schwerverwundete, an Händen und Füßen gefesselt, über Bord geworfen und gleich neugeborenen Katzen ertränkt.\n\nWährend die bereits Ueberwundenen eingespert waren, ließ Dr. Murray durch den Schiffszimmermann ein zollgroßes Loch durch die Planken bohren. In aller Bequemlichkeit und ungefehen feuerte er durch diese Oeffnung seine Revolverkanonen unter den in der Dunkelheit zusammengeballten Menschenhaufen. Fünfunddreißig Todte wurden später über Bord geworfen. Die Ueberlebenden, bei ihrer Ankunft im Ausschiffungshafen gemustert, erklärten in üblicher Weise auf drei Jahre contractlich gemiethet zu sein, und wurden durch die inspicirenden Behörden sämmtlich in gehöriger Ordnung befunden. Dr. Murray behielt seinen Geschäftsgewinn. Ein Mitglied der gesetzgebenden Versammlung von Adelaide in Südaustralien, Herr Blackmore, berichtete in englischen Journalen über diesen Fall mit dem Bemerken, daß alle erdenklichen Maßregeln der Aufsicht vergeblich sein würden und daß es nur ein einziges wirksames Mittel gebe: völliges, absolutes Verbot der Menschenzufuhr. Vergleicht man Murray's That mit derjenigen der fürchterlichsten Verbrecher, so wird man sagen dürfen, daß ... Morsthat, durch welche ganz Europa erschüttert wurde, doch ein Kinderspiel gewesen gegenüber der teuflischen Bosheit, welche aus sicheren Hinterhalt durch ein Loch zum Vergnügen in wehrlose Menschenhaufen hineinfeuert und Schwerverwundete hinterher in die See werfen läßt. Daß die aufgebrachten Südseeinsulaner von Zeit zu Zeit an irgend einem beliebigen Weißen einen Vict der Blutrache vollziehen, ist nicht zu verwundern. Bischof Patterson fiel in seiner Missionarsthätigkeit als eines der Opfer für die Schandthaten Anderer. Dieser ausgezeichnete Geistliche bemerkte übrigens aus Anlaß des Menschenfanges, es sei empörend sowohl als lächerlich, von \"Arbeitscontracten\" zu sprechen; keiner der Südseeinsulaner sei im Stande, den Begriff des Contractes zu verstehen.\n\nWar der alte Sclavenhandel an den afrikanischen Küsten im Vergleich zu diesen Unternehmungen nicht ein ehrliches Gewerbe? Ich meine, ja! Damals kaufte der Sclavenhändler von einem siegreichen Negerhäuptling die Kriegsgefangenen, die er nach barbarischer Sitte einfach hätte abschlachten können. Dem afrikanischen Sclaven ward durch Ankauf das Leben gerettet. Der asiatische Kulihandel ist nicht bloß Gewaltthat, sondern mehr als barbarisch. Es ist jener schnöde, die Formen des Rechts äußerlich nachahmende, aber die Gerechtigkeit schändende Hohn auf die Menschheit, den man zu den schwersten Sünden gegen den heiligen Geist zu zählen hat.\n\nDen Negerhandel nach Amerika haben die Staatsverträge unterdrückt. Eben jetzt versucht man, den Negerhandel nach ... von der afrikanischen Ostküste abzuschneiden. Und den Kulihandel sollte das neunzehnte Jahrhundert nicht als eine Schmach empfinden? Ihr Kirchenfreunde, sendet Missionen unter halbwilde Völker, um sie mit der christlichen Dogmatik und dem Katechismus bekannt zu machen. Aber Ihr schweigt dazu, wenn christliche Regierungen durch ihre Bildung jene Verbrechen ermuthigen, ohne welche der Kulihandel nicht denkbar ist. Sendet vor allem Andern die Boten der christlichen Liebe in die Hauptstadt von Portugal und unter die Pflanzer von Cuba, nach Lima oder Demerara! Ihr Friedenscongresse haltet, um den Krieg zu brandmarken, der für die heiligsten Interessen einer Nation geführt wird, obwohl er die Culturvölker doch immer nur als schnell vorübergehende Geißel bedroht. Bedenkt doch, daß Ihr erst die Wurzeln ausrotten müßt, aus denen der Kulihandel hervorgeht, ehe Ihr von den Anrechten der Menschheit auf friedliche Gesittung sprechen dürft. Ihr rühmt Euch der nach Asien mächtig fortschreitenden europäischen Cultur. Bedenkt, daß Ihr in den Augen der Chinesen nicht viel mehr geltet, denn als Opiumhändler und Menschenräuber. Ihr Freihändler laßt den Russen die Ehre, China die Sclaverei abzuschaffen, und bemüht Euch darzuthun, daß die Nothwendigkeit, für Eure Felder Guano herbeizuschaffen oder aus Australien und Westindien Zucker zu importiren, die Sclaverei der Kulis erfordert! Werdet Ihr vielleicht auch beweisen, daß die volkswirthschaftlich ungehinderte Bewegung des Seehandels jede Einmischung in das Transportgeschäft der Kulischiffe verbietet und daß die Ueberführung der Kulis durch den stillen Ocean nichts anderes ist, als eine Art der Freizügigkeit zwischen Asien und Amerika?\n\nDie englische Regierung war bisher die einzige, welche, die Wucht schwerer Anschuldigungen fühlend, einige schwächliche, völlig unzureichende Versuche machte, dem Unwesen des Kulihandels zu steuern. Aber selbst wenn sie thatkräftiger einschreiten wollte, als je unter dem Banne colonialer Interessen thun wird, immer wäre sie außer Stande, allein ohne Uebereinstimmung mit den übrigen Mächten zum Ziele zu gelangen.\n\nDie beiden Großstaaten, welche wirthschaftlich am Kulihandel am wenigsten interessirt sind, Deutschland und die nordamerikanische Union, haben die nächste Aufgabe, für die Rechte der Menschheit mit ihrem Einfluß einzutreten. Wir haben keine Colonie zu versorgen, keine Pflanzer zu schonen, keinen Widerspruch aus unserer Mitte zu befürchten. Freilich müssen wir mit Beschämung eingestehen, daß auch die deutsche Handelsflagge mit dem Makel der Betheiligung an dem schimpflichen Gewerbe behaftet ist. Um so größer ist unsere Verpflichtung, uns von jeder Mitschuld zu reinigen. So ist die höchste Zeit, daß durch völkerrechtliche Verträge der betrügerischen Ausbeutung ostasiatischer Auswanderung ein Ziel gesetzt, daß insbesondere den Portugiesen in Macao das Handwerk gelegt werde. Tritt Deutschland thatkräftig für diese edle Sache ein und begegnet es ernsthaftem Widerspruche bei anderen Mächten, — wohl, so hat es die Beruhigung, daß es sein Gewissen bewahrt hat, während andere Staaten sich selbst an den Pranger der Weltgeschichte stellen. Ich bin meinerseits nicht befähigt, zu entscheiden, ob durch Völkerverträge die Auswanderung der Kulis mit hinreichend schützenden Formen umgeben werden kann oder gänzlich zu unterdrücken ist. Aber das weiß ich, daß das jetzige System der Ueberfahrts- und Arbeitsverträge nicht länger geduldet werden darf, wenn irgend eine Gemeinschaft christlicher Culturvölker fortbestehen soll. Auf die Zustimmung der Vereinigten Staaten zu einem gemeinschaftlichen Vorgehen ist um so mehr zu hoffen, als diese durch völlig freie und naturgemäße Einwanderung der Chinesen die ihr fehlenden Arbeitskräfte auf das Leichteste ersetzen können. Ebensowenig bezweifle ich die Mitwirkung der italienischen, österreichischen und russischen Regierung. In anderem Sinne als ehemals ist gegen den Kulihandel unter den osteuropäischen Staaten und Rußland eine heilige Allianz zu schließen. Warten wir ab, ob der Geltendmachung der Menschenrechte von Portugal, Spanien und Peru die Vertröstung auf Guano und Zuckerrohr entgegengesetzt werden wird.\n\nWie sich die höchsten sittlichen Aufgaben gleichzeitig immer im Verlaufe der Zeiten auch als die zweckmäßigsten erweisen, so wird in Wahrheit die Abschaffung der neuen mit dem Mißbrauche der Rechtsformen verbrämten Sclaverei dahin führen, daß jene Vorurtheile schwinden, die uns den Weg in das Innere Chinas versperren und welche wir leider angesichts des Kulihandels als unsererseits verschuldet und verdient bezeichnen müßten. Ich glaube nicht, daß der deutsche Reichstag es über sich vermögen wird, die Sache der Kulis als eine unserer Nation gleichgültige von der Hand zu weisen. Er hat ausgesprochen, daß das Privateigenthum des Feindes im Seekriege von habgieriger Wegnahme verschont bleiben sollte, obwohl dies nach dem geltenden Völkerrechte gestattet ist. Und er sollte kein Wort der Klage und der Theilnahme haben, wenn mitten im Frieden Freiheit, Gesundheit und Arbeitskraft einer mit uns in Frieden lebenden Bevölkerung unter betrügerischen Vorstellungen geschädigt und vernichtet werden? Für die Beobachtung der Sonnenfinsternisse in fernen Zonen, für die Ergründung der Meeresfluthen, für die Durchforschung afrikanischer Wüstenstriche, für die Erreichung des Nordpols hätte das deutsche Volk Sinn und Verständniß, und der Wiedereinführung der Folter und der Sclaverei im Kulihandel sollte es gleichgiltig zuschauen? Belehren wir doch die Staatsmänner, die von der Entrüstung des deutschen Volkes so viel faseln, daß wir deswegen eine christliche Nation sind, weil wir den verfolgten Juden Rumäniens beistehen und weil wir die mit Füßen getretenen Rechte der Heiden männlich und entschieden vertheidigen und diese christlichen Pflichten unseren Staatsmännern und Volksvertretern auf das Gewissen zu legen gesonnen sind.\n\nPage 610",

JOL GIN 21. 200\n\ntransaction upon which a 25% loss occurred as a taxable form of Revenue. The procedure is merely adopted for convenience of accounting in accordance with Colonial Regulations. Again;~ The Government issues a quantity of subsidiary coins and makes a profit on the transaction. of this profit 20% is credited to Defence. In the course of time owing to redundancy or deterioration, Government withdraws the coins and sells them as bullion at a heavy loss, which it alone has to bear. Moreover even the sum received for the sale is taxed with a 20% charge for Military Contribution! Or take again the question of stoppages and fines from the pay of Police etc. It is merely a method of accounting whether such deductions are made on the face of the Pay Roll, (as is done in some Colonies), and the net amount disbursed, or whether the gross amount shewn on the roll are debited as payments, (though in point of fact the total sums have never been paid) and the fines etc. credited to Revenue and so amenable to the 20% deduction. The same thing applies to labour rolls in the Public Works Department and vitiates comparison between works undertaken by Government and by contract. The Government in no sense realises a Revenue from its liability to pay the full amount with deduction for Fines or breach of contract. liability is undoubted, but in such cases it is one which has not matured, and in a similar case (soldiers' deferred pay in Northern Nigeria) where the onus was the other way, the Imperial Treasury ruled that an unmatured liability must not be brought to account until matured.\n\nThe\n\nOne final illustration of a class which occurs daily will suffice.

        "content_text": "# 108\n\nA shrub rising at mile 12 on to the plain again. The limit of this depression to the south is a long narrow ridge resembling an artificial wall some 20 feet above the plain level and of uniform height. It is white in appearance, and it is curious in formation, being often split up into small islands, which resemble the huge pedestals of some giant fortification. A few hundred yards later Lake Ebinoor is in sight on our right. At mile 15 the track dips into another depression half-a-mile wide and some 6 miles long - an old salt lake. The ground here was of dazzling whiteness, and travelling was excessively difficult, the soil breaking away from under the camels' feet each step forward that they advanced. Climbing out of the depression we steered our way across bleak country to the south. At mile 18 this began to change in appearance, until at last the whole plain became a jungle of low trees and bushes and thick grass, through which the track runs.\n\nWe were now approaching the Clungur River. In the middle of the jungle, at mile 22, we reached a series of small buildings of mud and wood lying in a lightly fenced-in enclosure 100 yards square. This is the new yamên of Buluntogoi, which has only been in existence one-and-a-half years, and which is under the Government of Altaishan, by whom it has been called into being in accordance with the new policy. The only occupants are an official, his soldier servant, and a lad; the object is to control the many Mongols who live dotted about the country here, and to bring them under taxation, for it would seem that hitherto they have contributed nothing towards the upkeep of the State. It is therefore a Customs yamên, and will tax salt, fish, wool, and skins. The official had gone to Altaishan on business, but his soldier servant, an opium sot, allowed me to stay in the officer's comfortable quarters.\n\nWe learnt that the journey to the Tourgout Prince's residence by this route takes one day longer than it would do by the other side of the lake.\n\nA great many mud bricks piled up in the yard showed that more building was contemplated.\n\nSeptember 18.--We marched south-west through low bushes and trees, and striking the river at mile 1, kept down its banks for a short time. Leaving it again we continued south-west and came to another kind of yamên at mile 4. Here three Mongol men live - no one else - and their sole occupation is grinding the wheat brought in by the so-called \"soldiers\" of the neighbourhood. Where were these? The reply was that they were all working in the fields, so the best thing seemed to be to go where they lived to see what kind of barracks they occupied. So we turned to the south-east by another track among shrubs and trees, and 14 miles later came to the edge of the river again. Here were a number of goats and cattle and six of the most squalid yourts we had yet met. Unusually slatternly women and swarms of filthy children were lying about the encampment, which looked like a gipsy one. The yourts were, however, those of the \"soldiers,\" and these were their families. I merely asked how many men there were belonging to this ragamuffin settlement, and was told that there were some sixty or seventy altogether, including those who lived in numerous other yourts scattered about among the trees. All worked daily in the fields. These were the \"soldiers,\" and I felt it to be unnecessary to ask any further questions as to arms, drill, rifle practices, &c. Such is Buluntogoi, which is marked on maps with lettering as large as Kobdo or Urga and if the term \"geographical expression\" means anything, it applies most surely to this place.\n\nCrossing the river by a ford here (the banks are high and difficult, the water some 24 feet deep, the bed sandy, and the stream very sluggish), we kept due south on the outside of the narrow belt of trees and shrubs and between the stream and the ridge of the surrounding country. After another 4 miles, during which we kept parallel with the river, the latter bent slightly to the south-west and emptied itself into the lake at a point which must be described as the head of the Baganoor. We now continued for 6 miles or so down the lake between the water and the ridge of the surrounding country, the latter rising 150 feet sheer above us; the width of the beach was sometimes 50 yards, at times only 5 or 6 yards. At the southern end of the lake the ridge sank to a sand mound only 30 feet high, and this continued all along the southern end of the lake. Keeping along the water's edge we curved round the head of the lake for another 11 miles, and turning northwards halted for the night at a Mongol-Hassack camp.\n\nThe shores of the lake are remarkable for two things: (1) the masses of sea-shells; and (2) the amount of driftwood. In many places whole tree trunks were visible half buried by the sand.\n\nA few words of explanation are necessary as regards the lake, or rather lakes, for there are two, the Ebinoor and the Baganoor, the two being joined by a small strip of water of such narrow dimensions that it is difficult to detect. This contraction is due to the amount of deposit brought down by the Ulungur, which is tending to divide the lake into two. Though one branch of this stream distinctly flows into Baganoor, there may be, and probably are, others which flow into Ebinoor at the narrow point of junction. The river seems to have formed a large delta which is covered with vegetation, the whole being known as Buluntogoi. No other streams flow into Baganoor. Gulls, flocks of sandgrouse, and waterfowl haunt the shores of the lake, but the water is free from islands or grasses. It is evidently shrinking, as small sand shoals near the edge testify. The name \"Baganoor\" is rather a misnomer, for it is by no means small, being certainly Ebinoor is fully twice the size. There are coarse fish 8 miles long and some 10 broad in the lake.\n\nThe Buluntogoi district is remarkable as regards trees; there is one with a kind of flower consisting of leaves tightly packed together and somewhat resembling the flower of a camelia; this is picked and dried and makes excellent tea. There is another shrub with a whitish leaf and small single berry which serves the same purpose as kaoliang.\n\nThe name of the Mongol-Hassack encampment is Baganoor; the Mongols are Kalmucks, an excessively friendly and well-disposed branch of the Mongol family. They get on well with the Hassacks, in spite of their difference as regards language, religion, and customs.\n\nSeptember 19.--We are now in the realm of the Prince of Tourgout. Sheep here are very cheap; we bought a large one last night for 2 taels (6s.). A noticeable feature in camp are the swarms of children, both Mongol and Hassack, an unusual sight as regards the Mongols.\n\nAscending over bleak and dreary ground to the north-west we reached, after some 10 miles, the main chain of the Salburshan Mountains, which run east and west. Through these we kept for the rest of the day. These hills are bleak and rugged and bare, except for a little coarse vegetation. We only passed two traces of water, at the second of which we had to halt for fear of being bushed. It was only a stagnant pool a foot square, but there was plenty of coarse grass all round, which was useful for the hungry camels. The water was so black and foul that we had to be content with some pools of rain-water which had collected among some rocks hard by. There are no habitations among these hills. We had marched some 21.4 miles during the day, and had been obliged to steer mainly by the compass in view of the absence of tracks.\n\n# 109\n\nSeptember 20.--After marching a mile and a quarter the character of the range altered suddenly, the bleak rocks with the burnt-up appearance ended, and a sea of lower hills took their place, these were covered with short, rough grass; into the middle of these we plunged, ever in a westerly direction, for another 8 miles, during which we passed two water-holes, and at last emerged on to a broad plain. We had now reached the end of the Salburshan. The plain slopes gently to the north-east for some 14 miles to the western end of Lake Ebinoor, which would thus seem to have a total length (east to west) of some 26 miles. From the northern shore of the lake runs another range of hills in a south-westerly direction, gradually increasing to the height of low mountains; these border the plain on to which we had emerged, and turn towards the west; they are known as the Saureshan.\n\nThere is little trace of water in the valley, but the whole is covered with rough pasturage, which supports a great number of Turgout tents and their flocks and herds. Keeping in a westerly direction we gradually drifted away from the Salburshan across towards the Saureshan and halted for the night at a large encampment known as Harulbuluk after a total march of 20 miles. Every well in the plain seems to have a distinct name, but in view of the multitude of these I will refrain from mentioning any except the ones at which we halted. The people here were extremely friendly, an old man giving me his nephew's yourt for the night, although the said nephew had only been married a few days previously, and the hut was full of the bride's dowry.\n\nThe valley now broadened out considerably. The Salburshan had given place to another low range some 15 miles to the south also running east and west. The whole plain is rich in grass and the people seem wealthy, if numbers of cattle and children and ornamented saddlery are tests.\n\nSeptember 21.--Wolves are a great scourge to the locality, and each night every family has a watchman out to watch the flocks. Notwithstanding this, great havoc is frequently caused. Last night the wolves descended in force and captured three of our host's sheep.\n\nAt mile 3 we reached a small mud dwelling, consisting of two rooms entirely unfurnished and windowless. It was surrounded by a mud wall. This is a more interesting spot than it sounds, for ...\n\n2 F\n\n[2155 b−1] \n\n169",

Something seems to have been said on the alleged authority of Mr Noronha that there were mistakes on every page of my Volumes, and that the whole might have to be done again. What happened Mr. Noronha tells me was, that he was talking to *lementi and told him that typographical errors were not to be avoided. Mr. Clementi asked what he meant by typographical errors, and Mr. Noronha explained that it included among other minute slips mis-spelling of words, or letters out of place; then he added, \"If you insist on these being corrected you may have to reprint the whole book, because probably they occur on every page\". I do not think that the estimate is just but, although during my verification I noticed a good many, and corrected some in the corrigenda, I cannot charge my memory by giving an estimate. If there is to be a \"scrutiny\" time will show. But this is certain that if re-printing is undertaken you may possibly be able to reduce their number, because the printers themselves will be on their mettle, but eliminate them you cannot.\n\nIt will be convenient at this point to deal with what is supposed to be the perfect work, from a printing point of view, of Carrington's edition, as that has been referred to as the standard which ought to have been attained. Now in the first place it is not accurate to say that that edition is free from printer's errors, as I have come across a certain number. But there is certainly one important mistake, and one serious error. In the Code of Civil Procedure. on p. 757 \"Reference by consent of Court\" is printed instead of \"Reference by consent out of Court\"; and in e. 11 of No. 1 of 1845 the fine was printed as $5 instead of $50. But even assuming it perfectly printed, the conditions under which Carrington was printed must be borne in mind. One Volume was printed in London where they have trained proof-readers (often University men paid a salary of £300 a year), and the second Volume took two years to print. Mr Noronha himself read the proofs at the rate, so he tells me, of 8 to 10 pages a week, whereas it was essential work that the new Edition should be completed in a year, and we had to work at the rate of at least 8 pages a day. Mr. Noronha at first read the first proofs, but after a time finding that it took him away too much\n\nPage 706",

This is endorsed on this side by men of dispassionate judgment whose opinions are worth listening to.\n\nNo doubt, these Prussian hotheads could have prevented the war had they wished to, as Austria would have been powerless without their active or passive assistance and would, in that case, not have asked Servia for an unconditional assent to a complicated demand which could not possibly be answered within the stipulated time of only two days.\n\nThat, in our opinion, is the whole point at issue. Of course, history will hereafter—not during the war—make all this yet clearer. As, &c..................\n\nShanghai, 5. November, 1914.\n\n“Ihren Brief vom 11. September empfinden wir als eine grobe Beleidigung. Ihre vollkommen unprovozierten und ungehörigen Angriffe gegen unser Vaterland weisen wir hiermit auf das schärfste zurück.\n\nIhr Direktor Sanders, der den Brief persönlich gezeichnet hat, war ein Deutscher. Ihre Firma ursprünglich ebenfalls Deutsch. Wie Sie unter diesen Umständen dazu kommen konnten, uns ohne jeden Grund in dieser Weise zu schreiben, ist vollkommen unverständlich.\n\nIhr Verhalten und die in Ihrem Briefe unter Beantwortung ausgedrückte Gesinnung macht es uns auf jeden Fall unmöglich, irgend welche weitere geschäftliche Beziehungen mit Ihnen zu pflegen.\n\nDie bisher avisierten Tratten haben wir leider bereits bezahlt, alle weiteren Verschiffungen stellen wir Ihnen jedoch hiermit zur Verfügung.\n\nIhrem Brief haben wir hier die weitgrösste Öffentlichkeit verschafft, indem wir denselben der hiesigen Deutschen Vereinigung zur Verfügung gestellt haben, die Ihr Schreiben sämtlichen Mitgliedern zur Kenntnis gebracht hat, ebenso dem hiesigen Deutschen Generalkonsulat. Herr....\n\nIhr früherer Teilhaber,\n\nhat ebenfalls durch die Deutsche Vereinigung eine Kopie Ihres Briefes erhalten.”\n\nLondon, E.C., 14th December, 1914.\n\n“Your letter of the 5th ulto. has surprised us, willing as we are to make full allowance for German patriotism which we respect, and for your being incensed at what has taken place in Hongkong.\n\nIt appears to us that you have eagerly seized the opportunity, which you thought your answer to our letter and its publication would give you, to impress the Deutsche Vereinigung and others with the exuberance of your ultra-patriotic ardour.\n\nPage 64\n\nIn that mental state, you entirely misjudge what you call our and the writer's ‘Gesinnung,’ because as business men towards business men we expressed our regret that more common sense had not prevailed to prevent the war, knowing moreover that Germany had not wanted nor expected war with us, nor had England with you.\n\nFurthermore, we were obliged as the letter shows to refer to the war and did so in four short paragraphs of a business letter of five pages (marked private).\n\nFar from wishing to hurt anybody's feelings, as is so obvious, one of these paragraphs runs:\n\n‘We here are differentiating between the German, in peaceful pursuit bent upon the development of industry and commerce, and Prussian militarism. This is endorsed on this side by men of dispassionate judgment whose opinions are worth listening to.’\n\nThat is what we felt and feel above everything, and surely you cannot object to our expressing to old business friends of ours—the writer has known your firm for nearly 40 years—our keen regret that the Prussian Junker-Militarists (to whom trade is of little consideration) did succeed at last in winning over to\n\nPage 3\n\n567",

Independently however of the provisions of Defence of the Realm Regulation 37D, it appears that clause 5 of the new Aliens Restriction Bill now before Parliament, if passed in its present terms, will disentitle Mr. Falk to command unless and until he becomes naturalised.\n\n2. Their Lordships would, therefore, suggest that Mr. Falk would be well advised to renew his application for naturalisation whether in this country or in Hong Kong, as soon as circumstances permit. They note that lack of the necessary qualification of residence has hindered his naturalisation up to the present.\n\nI am,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant.\n\nJoonbooted a useful promiscons\n\nwas added as Sec 2161 of the 1914 Act\n\nby the amending Act of 1918\n\nThis snaths\n\nthe Crown to be treatäd\n\nما\n\nSunstat\n\n+\n\nhe zied\n\nan the scrunc\n\nof\n\nW\n\nhe up to.

These shares formed part of a legacy left to the City of Ghent by a certain Mme. Nicaise, a Belgian subject, and were supposed to be in hands of the German firm of Wendt & Co., which was liquidated under the war legislation. \n\n 2. \n\n Enquiry shows that 800 shares were originally registered in the Company's books in the name of Mme. Nicaise. After her decease Letters of Administration to her estate were granted to the attorney for the executors, F. E. C. Georg, who died in 1909 without having administered the estate; in 1911 Letters of Administration \"de bonis non\" were granted to the attorney for the City of Ghent, F. W. Melchers, a German national connected with the firm of Wendt & Co., he having duly found a surety approved by the Court. Mr. Melchers then presented his grant to the Company for registration, and during 1911 and 1912 transferred 750 of the shares to various persons, signing the transfer \"W. Melchers. Attorney for the Executors of the Estate of M. C. Nicaise alias Schryver\". The remaining 50 shares plus 10 bonus shares were vested in \n\n RIGHT HONOURABLE \n\n Viscount Milner, G.C.B., \n\n &c. \n\n &c. \n\n :",
