In that year Parliament, influenced by the number of memorials which for a lengthened period previously had been addressed to Government by the various learned bodies, public societies, and representatives of the manufacturing, agricultural, and other industrial interests of North Britain, resolved to institute in Edinburgh a Museum similar to those of Economic Geology and of Industry in London and Dublin. In the votes for that year the House of Commons granted £7,000 for the purchase of a site upon which the Museum should be built, and a further sum was voted for expenditure in the acquisition of specimens, and for the salaries of the officers who should be appointed to collect, arrange, and preserve these.\n\nThe site purchased is in close proximity to the University of Edinburgh, lying to the westward, between it and Argyle-square. Besides a considerable open space, it is occupied by two buildings, styled, at the period of their purchase, Argyle-square Independent Chapel, and the Trades Maiden Hospital. As it was not the intention of Government to erect a new edifice till some progress had been made in the collection of objects suitable for an Industrial Museum, the buildings in question were appropriated to their reception, and within the walls a large series of examples of Industrial Art has gradually accumulated, and daily receives additions.\n\nLegal difficulties in the way of transfer of property made it necessary to apply for an Act of Parliament before the purchase of the entire site could be completed, nor was it till 1855 that possession was entered on. In the spring of that year Dr. George Wilson, of Edinburgh,\n\nPage 4\n\n3\n\n487",

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

        "content_text": "## 11. Sheds with screens of canvas on rollers have been put up for the better cultivation of Ferns and some other plants which cannot be well grown unless they are protected from the powerful sun-rays and heavy rains. The plants grown in these structures have shown a marked improvement for the extra care bestowed upon them. These sheds and the orchid-house are, I hope, the fore-runners of more ornamental and accessible structures which might, with advantage, be added to our acknowledged beautiful, but small gardens.\n\n## 12. The Aviaries and Orchid-house which were in a very dilapidated state have been repaired and put in a fairly effective condition. The Monkey-house has not been repaired, although it is very much decayed. The house is, I believe, badly placed for the health of the animals; scarcely any sun can ever enter the house, and it is exposed to all the cold weather which we get from the northerly winds. I would strongly recommend the abandonment of the place altogether and the keeping of monkeys, unless a proper house could be provided for them. The structure is of wood, and ever since it was erected it has been constant trouble and expense to keep the animals in the house, as they are continually eating away and pulling down the boards of which the house is constructed.\n\n## 13. The following plants flowered for the first time in these gardens:— \n| Plant Name |\n| --- |\n| Aristolochia longifolia |\n| Brassaia actinophylla |\n| Cypripedium Stonei |\n| Dendrobium Paxtonii |\n| Echeveria metallica |\n| Frenela pendula |\n| Lettsomia Chalmersii |\n| Mezoneurum brachycarpum |\n| Monstera deliciosa |\n| Peperomia arifolia |\n| Peperomia marmorata |\n| Rhododendron Championæ |\n| Seaforthia elegans |\n| Tecoma australis |\n\n## 14. During the year under notice the following plants, hitherto unrecorded as being indigenous to Hongkong, have been discovered in the Island: \n- Asplenium lunulatum\n- Sonerila tenera\n- Otanthera Fordii, Hance, novum species\n\n## 15. Dr. KING, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, kindly presented for the library a copy of Griffith's **Palms of India**.\n\n## 16. As the gardens are becoming crowded, the interchange of plants and seeds has not been conducted with quite so much vigour as in former years when there was more necessity for the importation of plants to stock the newly formed portions of the garden. The number of contributors was 32, from whom 677 plants and 145 packets and parcels of seeds, and 8 birds and animals were received. 1,834 plants and 190 packets and parcels of seeds were supplied from the garden to 41 recipients.\n\n## 17.

The following trees were planted during the year:\n| Tree Type | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Pinus sinensis two-year old plants size from 4 ft. to 10 ft. high sown in situ | 210,542 |\n| Aleurites triloba (Candleberry-tree) sown in situ | 144,948 |\n| Eucalyptus spp. (Gum-trees) | 61 |\n| Cupressus torulosa (Bhotan Cypress) | 862 |\n| Bamboos | 60,555 |\n| Quercus salicina | ... |\n| Quercus Harlandi | ... |\n| Ficus retusa (Banian) large trees transplanted | 1,900 |\n| Pinus canariensis (Canary Island Pine) | 24 |\n| Cupressus funebris (Funereal Cypress) | 16 |\n| Syncarpia laurifolia (Turpertine-tree) | 23 |\n| Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak) | 26 |\n| Dammara robusta | 1,537 |\n| Stillingia sebifera (Tallow-tree) | 452 |\n| Albizzia Lebbek | 164 |\n| Miscellaneous | 50 |\n| Total | 211,015 |\n\n## 19. Nine years experience has shown that two-year old seedlings of Pinus sinensis cannot be successfully and economically planted in consequence of the roots penetrating the soil to such a distance that balls of soil cannot be kept adhering so perfectly as desirable to the roots. No seeds of any kind were sown in the nurseries during 1879 for a supply of trees which should have been provided for planting during the year under notice, therefore when the Afforestation Department was returned to my charge in the end of the year 1879 I found that there was nothing available for planting except the refuse in the nurseries after the planting of 1879 had been finished, and these remaining trees were, through having been too much crowded, attenuated and very unpromising subjects for planting on the exposed hills, for which sturdy well grown plants should always be prepared. It was, however, advisable to do something with the available trees, therefore the worst weak and sickly trees were pulled up and sacrificed, to afford what benefit could be obtained during three or four months, which intervened between that time and the tree-planting season, to the trees which were selected for planting. In the face of these drawbacks it was anticipated that, however careful we might be in transplanting, a large percentage of deaths would inevitably ensue, a result which occurred, but not to the extent anticipated; about 20 per cent. only succumbed.\n\n## 20. About seven years ago an experiment was made of sowing seeds of Pinus sinensis in situ, that is, small places, each about a foot square, were dug and levelled on the hillside where it was intended trees should grow, and on these sites a few seeds were sown. The trees on the plots of ground thus treated succeeded so well, and finding also that the trees reared by the villagers on Chinese territory and on this island had been thus reared, I was induced to prepare and sow 60,000 sites in the same manner. The seedlings on these sites having given sufficient promise of succeeding, a much larger area—viz., nearly 600 acres, containing about 650,000 sites—was selected for this mode of afforestation during 1881. Although the trees reared in situ do not grow so vigorously for the first few years as those reared in and transplanted from nurseries, still the method has much to recommend it. Taking it for granted that the same amount voted for afforestation during this year will be granted annually until the wooding of the island is completed, we shall be able to accomplish this desirable object in a quarter of the time, by sowing in situ, of that necessary under the nursery system. When the trees are large enough to fell for firewood, &c., a financial return for the outlay expended upon them can, it is hoped, be obtained by judicious periodical thinning and felling of portions of the plantations.\n\n## 21. It is still desirable that nurseries, although on a smaller scale, should be maintained for raising a supply of trees for planting in situations where sowing in situ may be impracticable, and also for rearing other than pine trees which demand nursery treatment preparatory to planting, as it will be an object kept steadily in view to experiment with, and introduce, where successful, such foreign trees as are suitable for our soil, climate, and exposure, as will relieve the monotonous aspect of too much of any one kind of tree, besides, if possible, introducing others which may be valuable for timber or other economic uses.\n\n## 22. As will be seen by the foregoing list several other than pine trees have been planted. I may mention first the Eucalypti of which over 1,500, comprising about a dozen kinds, were planted. Where these were planted amongst three-year planted pines they succeeded fairly well; Eucalyptus citriodora, the lemon-scented gum, having grown to, in some instances, 9 feet high in ten months, the largest having a circumference of 3 inches at one foot from the ground. Those planted away from the shelter of other trees have not done so well. The pine trees on the large area planted during 1880 will be about the right size in 1883 to be good nurses for other trees which I would advise being planted amongst them. It would be necessary to begin the preparation of such trees next year. More trees of the lemon-scented gum would have been planted last year, but it was impossible, in consequence of the limited supply in its native country, Queensland, to obtain sufficient seeds.\n\n## 23. On the spur of Mount Gough jutting out towards Head Quarter House, above Kennedy Road, the sky-line of the ridge, at the instigation of His Excellency the Governor, was planted. Large bamboos, oaks (Quercus salicina, and Q. Harlandi), pines, and banians were used. The effect is very good, and the plantation a marked improvement to the scenery on the upper side of the above named road.",

The Japan Gazette supplies the following summary of the events of the interval :--\n\nIntense anxiety is said to pervade the councils of the Imperial Government at the condition of the nation and her resources. Paper remains at a severe discount, without prospect of improvement as hope of possible redemption daily grows less. This country, despite the lofty tone of independence assumed by some of the ministers and the larger portion of the Press, depends entirely for relief from existing pressure and inevitable bankruptcy to the extension of her trade. That course, however, would entail the abolition of numerous monopolies, and the monopolists who have grown fat and waxed rich at the expense of the nation are girding up their loins for a desperate struggle. Their fate is, however, assured. Japan's misfortunes may prove her salvation by awakening her rulers to the folly and wickedness of the obstructive commercial policy they have so long maintained. The rock upon which the vessel of State will split is the paper currency.\n\nThe prosecution of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at the suit of the Imperial Customs for having unlawfully attempted to ship gold bullion concealed in cases of silver coin, heard in Kobe, is likely to be revived. An application was made for a special case for H. M. Court for Japan, which was granted and stated by Mr. Acting Consul Aston. The defendants demurred, on the grounds that no appeal could be made by the prosecutor from the decision of a provincial court acting in summary criminal jurisdiction, or that, if an appeal does lie it must be to the Supreme Court for China and Japan and not to this Court. Mr. Acting Judge Robertson gave his decision on Jan. 3, overruling the defendant's demurrers, and holding that the provincial court was right in stating a special case and that this Court had jurisdiction. This decision is clearly stated, and is regarded as consonant with the principles of justice and reason.",

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

        "content_text": "on which to hang the lanterns, and which, in consequence of Sunday being a dies non remained until Monday. These fixtures were thus unsightly for the whole of one day and parts of two others. The lanterns also necessitated the attendance of a number of men. To dispense with the unsightliness of the lantern fixings, the attendance of men on Sundays, the expense of the lantern illuminations, and the circumstance of the lanterns being subject to extinction of their lights by a sudden shower I had the honour to propose the introduction of gas for the purpose of illuminating the two terraces and entrances. The proposition was approved and the necessary vote for carrying out the work was placed at my disposal, when gas was at once laid on and the requisite fixings were made.\n\n45. At the request of the Colonel of the Regiment a Wooden Platform two feet high and 28 feet in diameter was constructed for the use of the Band when it performs in the Gardens.\n\nAt present there is only one situation where this platform can be placed. It has to be carried and put in position on Saturday, where it remains until Monday. When it is not in use the appearance of the platform does not add to the beauty of the terrace. It would be desirable to find another place for it, if this can be done without interfering seriously with the effect of the music, where the platform might be planted off from view.\n\n46. AL FRESCO FETE.-In November a large Fête in aid of the Alice Memorial Hospital was held in the Gardens on two nights. Very extensive preparations in the way of mat structures for theatre, fancy work stalls, refreshments, bar, and other things had to be made. I believe there were about 6,000 people admitted to the Gardens on each night. Considerable damage was done to the grass turf, and most of the flower beds which had just been filled for the winter season were so much trampled on that they had to be replanted after the fete was over, some shrubs and plants in pots were also destroyed. The staff for some time after the fête had to be withdrawn from their usual occupations in order to get the Gardens into respectable order again.\n\n47. HORTICULTURAL SHOW.-The Annual (15th) Flower Show was again held in the Gardens. The space required for the exhibits was greater than it previously had been. These shows have been productive of the greatest good in the cultivation of vegetables, in which, as is most desirable, the Chinese take more and more interest, which is a proof that to them the industry is a paying one.\n\n48. It would greatly enhance the value and interest of the shows if exhibitors would have each plant carefully and conspicuously named.\n\n49. A new interest was attached to the exhibition last year by the award of Silver and Bronze medals-called Belilios Medals-and Money Prizes provided for by a handsome Endowment Fund which was generously placed at the disposal of the Committee by Mr. E. R. BELILIOS.\n\nIt is hoped and expected that these prizes, which will be offered every year, will still further stimulate horticultural enterprise in the Colony.\n\n50. OFFICE. Since my return from leave I have devoted much time to the institution of an improved system of office work and arrangements, which were urgently needed, and of the working up of arrears in both ordinary routine, and correspondence. Improved furniture and conveniences were pressingly necessary, and they have been obtained. By these improvements work is greatly facilitated, and much time is saved.\n\n51. In consequence of the absence of the Superintendent for half the year correspondence, especially foreign, has not been so great. The average number of letters despatched from the office for the year was about 1,500, of which one-third was foreign correspondence.\n\n52. In addition to the general Administration of the Department the Superintendent either writes or drafts all of the Correspondence, directs and supervises the Forest work, and attends to the keeping and progress of the Herbarium with the aid of native assistance only. In both office and herbarium there is room and necessity for more skilful assistance than that which is available, as it is impossible to entirely keep up with the increasing demands of important subjects which are continually pressing for attention.\n\n53. The time of the Head Gardener is entirely taken up with the management of the native staff within the Botanic and Government House Gardens and the execution of the manifold operations therein, and with the sale of plants.\n\n54. HERBARIUM. More and more interest is being directed to the Botany of China, and it is a pity that this institution which in many respects is so conveniently situated for research in important and interesting subjects has not the means for extending and more completely fulfilling the work which still remains to be done in bringing to light the botanical treasures of the Chinese Empire. However, I acknowledge with pleasure the aid which the Government has so generously placed at my disposal so far for botanical research. Valuable results have been obtained for some years past, results which have met with the hearty acknowledgment of eminent scientific men in England, and the last year has, although there was so little time for scientific work, had a large share of good results.\n\n55. In this work I have to thank the Rev. B. C. HENRY, of Canton, for a large package of plants which he collected and dried during a journey across the island of Hainan. I named such plants of the collection as were known to me, and submitted the remainder, to Kew Gardens. The result of the investigation there proved the collection to be of unusual interest, and of richness in new species.\n\nCareful and intelligent travellers like Mr. HENRY are able to render great and valuable services to botany while on journeys undertaken for other purposes. I should always be glad to receive collections from travellers and also to give such advice and assistance as might be needed in indicating the best methods of collecting and preserving the specimens.\n\n56. To the Rev. E. FABER I am also indebted for a fine collection made in the neighbourhood of Ningpo and Shanghai. These plants are of much interest, but they have not, for want of time, been yet fully examined.\n\n57. Mr. WM. M. COOPER, Her Majesty's Consul at Ningpo, is also entitled to best acknowledgments for botanical specimens and information of much interest which has been communicated from time to time, as well as for consignments of seeds of useful plants.\n\n58. Mr. WESTLAND has been successful in the discovery and collection of several new plants on the mainland and islands close to Hongkong, on a few occasions when he was able to get away from his duties in the Gardens.\n\n59. The year has seen the commencement of the publication by the Linnean Society of the \"Index Flora Sinensis\" or an Enumeration of all the known Plants of China. This establishment has been of much service in contributing to Kew Gardens material and information for use in the production of this very important work.\n\n60. By the death at Amoy in June, of the late lamented Dr. HENRY FLETCHER HANCE, China lost not only its most learned and courteous botanist, but also the rich collection of dried plants, and an extensive botanical library. I at one time hoped that part of the herbarium might have been secured for Hongkong, but instead of this being so, the whole Herbarium has been purchased by the Trustees of the British Museum.\n\n61. There is immense work to be yet done in China, not only in the discovery of a vast number of plants which it is certain are yet unknown to science, but also in the introduction and collection of information on plants used in medicine and domestic economy. In the advancement of such work, this Department, with increased facilities, could render still more important services.\n\n62. LIBRARY.-My visit to England afforded a good opportunity to procure a number of books which were required to augment the library of the Department. With the aid which the Government was good enough to place at my disposal this opportunity was not lost.\n\n63. Following is a list of the titles of works, including the periodicals which are taken, that were added during the year :--\n\nA new Species of Cycas, Dyer.\n\nBalanophoreæ, Griffith.\n\nBotanical Magazine for 1885.\n\nBotany of the Voyage of the Herald, Seemann.\n\nCommelynace et Cyrtandraceæ, C.

I have also to acknowledge with thanks, the various Reports of the Indian Forest Department, which have been generously contributed as they were published.\n\n66. In addition to these I am also indebted for various Annual Reports and Papers of the numerous Indian and Colonial Botanic Gardens with which we are in correspondence.\n\nPage 354",

The Plaintiffs are owners of the British ship \"Horlock\" and were so at the time of the transfer hereinafter mentioned.\n\n2. The Defendant was formerly owner of certain shares in the said ship, and on the 11th day of June 18.., he sold and transferred his shares therein to one Thomas Worraker, and on the day and year last aforesaid a bill of sale of the said shares was duly registered in the office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Hongkong.\n\n3. The said Thomas Worraker afterwards transferred the said shares to the Plaintiffs.\n\n4. The Plaintiffs are entitled to have an account taken of the earnings of the said ship.\n\n5. The Defendant has rendered no account of the earnings of the said ship to the Plaintiffs or to their predecessor in title, the said Thomas Worraker.\n\n6. There is a large sum of money due to the Plaintiffs in respect of the earnings of the said ship.\n\nThe Plaintiffs claim:\n\n1. **Delivery up** of the books, papers, and documents relating to the said ship now in the possession or control of the Defendant.\n\n2. To have an account taken of the earnings of the said ship, and that the Defendant may be condemned in the amount which shall be found due to the Plaintiff in respect thereof, and in the costs of this action,\n\n3.

The Defendant further says that he never at any time signed any bill of sale transferring any shares whatever of the said ship \"Horlock\" to the said Thomas Worraker, and further says that if any such bill was registered as alleged on the 11th June in the said 2nd paragraph (which the Defendant denies) the same was made and registered fraudulently and without the knowledge, consent, or authority of the Defendant.\n\n3. The Defendant does not admit the statements contained in the 3rd paragraph of the petition, and says that if the said Thomas Worraker transferred any shares of the said ship to the Plaintiff as alleged (which the Defendant does not admit), he did so wrongfully, and unlawfully, and that he had not possession of or any right to or in respect of the said shares.\n\n4. The Defendant denies the statements contained in paragraph 5 of the petition, and says that he never rendered any such accounts as alleged therein.\n\n5. The Defendant does not admit the statements contained in paragraph 6 of the petition.\n\nDated the ... day of ... 18..\n\n(Signed)  \nC.D., Defendant.\n\n## REPLY\n\nIn the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction. [Title of Action.]\n\nThe Plaintiff denies the several statements in the Answer.\n\nDated the ... day of ... 18..\n\n(Signed)  \nA.B., Plaintiff.\n\n## PETITION (9.) In an Action for Possession\n\nIn the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction. [Title of Action.]\n\nWrit issued ... 18..\n\n1. The Plaintiffs are registered owners of 44-64th shares in the British ship \"Native Pearl,\" and such shares are held by them respectively as follows:\n| Owner | Shares |\n| --- | --- |\n| Morgan Parsall Griffiths | 16-64th |\n| Edmund Nicholls | 8-64th |\n| William Menger | 4-64th |\n| Isaac Butler | 8-64th |\n| William Herbert | 8-64th |\n\n2. The only owner of the said ship other than the Plaintiffs is John Nicholas Richardson, who is the registered owner of the remaining 20-64th shares of the said ship, and has hitherto acted as managing owner and ship's husband of the said ship, and has possession of and control over the said ship and her certificate of registry.\n\n3. The Defendant, the said John Nicholas Richardson, has not managed the said ship to the satisfaction of the Plaintiffs, and has, by his management of her, occasioned great loss to the Plaintiffs; and the Plaintiffs in consequence thereof before the commencement of this action gave notice to the Defendant to cease acting as managing owner and ship's husband of the said ship, and revoked his authority in that behalf, and demanded from the Defendant the possession and control of the said ship and of her certificate of registry, but the Defendant has refused and still refuses to give possession of the said ship and certificate to the Plaintiffs, and the Plaintiffs cannot obtain possession of them without the assistance of this Court.\n\n33",

The Defendant does not admit the statements contained in paragraph 6 of the petition.  \n\nDated the  \nday of  \n18  \n(Signed) C.D., Defendant.  \n\n## Reply\nIn the Vice Admiralty Court of Hong Kong  \n[Title of Action]  \n\nThe Plaintiff denies the several statements in the Answer.  \n\nDated the  \nday of  \n18  \n(Signed) A.B., Plaintiff.  \n\n## Petition\nIn the Vice Admiralty Court of Hong Kong  \n[Title of Action]  \nWrit issued  \n18  \n\n1. The Plaintiffs are registered owners of 44-64th shares in the British ship \"Native Pearl,\" and such shares are held by them respectively as follows:-  \n| Owner | Shares |\n| --- | --- |\n| Morgan Parsall Griffiths | 16-64th |\n| Edmund Nicholls | 8-64th |\n| William Meager | 4-64th |\n| Isaac Butler | 8-64th |\n| William Herbert | 8-64th |\n\n2. The only owner of the said ship other than the Plaintiffs is John Nicholas Richardson, who is the registered owner of the remaining 20-64th shares of the said ship, and has hitherto acted as managing owner and ship's husband of the said ship, and has possession of and control over the said ship and her certificate of registry.  \n3. The Defendant, the said John Nicholas Richardson, has not managed the said ship to the satisfaction of the Plaintiffs, and has, by his management of her, occasioned great loss to the Plaintiffs; and the Plaintiffs in consequence thereof before the commencement of this action gave notice to the Defendant to cease acting as managing owner and ship's husband of the said ship, and revoked his authority in that behalf, and demanded from the Defendant the possession and control of the said ship and of her certificate of registry, but the Defendant has refused and still refuses to give possession of the said ship and certificate to the Plaintiffs, and the Plaintiffs cannot obtain possession of them without the assistance of this Court.  \n4. The Defendant has neglected and refused to render proper accounts relating to the management and earnings of the said ship, and such accounts are still outstanding and unsettled between the Plaintiffs and the Defendant.  \n\nThe Plaintiff's claim--  \n1. Judgment giving possession to the Plaintiffs of the said ship and of her certificate of registry.  \n2. To have an account taken, with the assistance of merchants, of the earnings of the ship.  \n3. A sale of the Defendant's shares in the said ship.  \n4. Payment out of the proceeds of such sale of the balance (if any) found due to the Plaintiffs and of the costs of this action.  \n5. Such further and other relief as the nature of the case may require.  \n\nDated the  \nday of  \n18  \n(Signed) A.B. &c., Plaintiffs.  \n\nPage 210  \nPage 211",

        "content_text": "# 38 \n\n## Questions.\n\n13. State any additional particulars necessary to show the existing and contemplated capacity of the port \n\n### PORTS AND HARBOURS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE:\n\n(a) in general, (b) for the accommodation of vessels of large size and deep draught. (**Note**-In answer to this question brief details should be given of important schemes of improvement now in progress or in contemplation, and of their estimated cost, in so far as they have not been given in reply to Question 11)\n\n## Halifax.\n\nHalifax Harbour is a natural one and very extensive. It is open all the year round, and, with St. John, is the terminus for the Canadian Trans-Atlantic steamers after the St. Lawrence route is closed in the winter. It may be mentioned that the Dominion Government, in addition to the scheme for ocean terminals already described in answer to question 11, has in hand plans for the construction of a new large graving dock. The following are likely to be the dimensions of this dock:\n\n| Measurement | Feet | Inches |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Length | 1,150 | 0 |\n| Breadth | 120 | 0 |\n| Depth over sill | ... | ... | (H.W.O.N.T.).\n\n## Montreal.\n\nThe port business is increasing rapidly, and extensions of harbour facilities are being carried out in accordance with a plan of constructing more piers of concrete, dredging in the harbour, lessening currents, enlarging the grain elevator accommodation, and increasing berthing accommodation.\n\n## Quebec.\n\nThe harbour includes a wet dock and a tidal harbour, in addition to the breakwater and breakwater extension. The Harbour Commissioners are now carrying out extensive improvements in wharf-building and dredging authorised by Act of Parliament.\n\n## St. John (New Brunswick).\n\nIn 1912 a contract was entered into with Messrs. Norton, Griffiths & Co., Ltd., by the Dominion Government for the construction of the Courtenay Bay Harbour Works on the east side of the harbour. The works comprise:\n- (a) The construction of a breakwater 4,570 ft. in length.\n- (b) The dredging of a channel about 6,800 ft. in length, 500 ft. in width, and with a depth of 32 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.) from the main channel leading into St. John Harbour to this breakwater.\n- (c) The dredging of a basin to a depth of 32 ft. (L.W.O.S.T) in Courtenay Bay.\n- (d) The construction of 4,890 ft. of quay walls.\n- (e) The construction of a first-class dry dock.\n\nThe works are to be completed by March 1917, and the contract cost is over £1,500,000. Other smaller works of improvement are being carried out on the western side of the harbour.\n\n## St. John's (Newfoundland).\n\n### 39\n\nSt. John's Harbour has an area of 270 acres, of which about 69 acres have a depth of 60 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.). If it should be contemplated to provide berthing accommodation for ships of 1,000 ft. in length and of 100 ft. beam, requiring a depth of 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.), this could best be done by constructing dock walls either on the north side of the foreshore from the Furness Withy Wharf to the Waldegrave Battery, or on the south side from the end of the existing wharves to Cahill's Point.",

        "content_text": "# APPENDIX XIV.\n\n(N.B. This memorandum, drawn up by the British Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai, and the lists of schools which follow, are among the enclosures to Sir J. Jordan's despatch No. 348 of July 23, 1918, on the subject of British education in China.)\n\n## British Education in China\n\nModern political movements in China have been largely brought about by Chinese who have been subject to the influences of progressive thought instilled into their minds by Western education. These same men are prominent in governmental, political and commercial circles, and are guiding the destinies of the country.\n\nBy far the larger number of foreign-educated men in China have received their education in American schools in China or in the United States of America. These men are continually kept under the influence of American thought by scholastic societies and by the perusal of American literature.\n\nThey naturally turn to America for guidance equally when laying down the country's constitution laws, and when ordering equipment for their mills and mines. They are saturated with American ideas and ideals.\n\nThe British are so far behind in all the machinery that produces these influences that there is no possibility of comparison. The Americans are now preparing for great advances along the lines which have proved so satisfactory that the distance between American and British practice will become still more accentuated.\n\nThe employment of the surplus indemnity by the American Government in taking hundreds of Chinese students selected from all parts of the country to proceed to America to complete their education in American institutions of learning is exerting an enormous influence in Americanising the thought of modern China.\n\nIn addition to this agency, the Americans have established a magnificent series of well-equipped modern schools throughout the country in connection with their missionary enterprise. These schools comprise the very best medical schools, universities, colleges, common and technical schools.\n\nThere are under American control in China 7 universities, 15 colleges, 140 middle or secondary schools: in addition, the Y.M.C.A., an American organisation, directs 10 ordinary schools, 4 or 5 medical schools, as well as special schools for theology, agriculture, &c. The number of American men and women employed in these schools is 523, in addition to a very large number of Chinese teachers trained largely by American methods.\n\nThe Germans, recognising their lack of means of influencing the governing circles of Young China and having become convinced of the advantages of producing a class of men trained in German thought and methods as apart from their military organisation, set about establishing schools, and at the outbreak of the Great War were operating about a dozen schools in the Shanghai, Hankow and Kwangtung districts.\n\nThe British have largely held aloof from the employment of this great agency of spreading British ideals in China. British missionary societies have established about fifty schools, but these are for the most part starved for lack of funds. There are no British institutions, except the recently founded Hong Kong University, which confer degrees. The Chinese demand degrees; consequently, provision for the granting of university honours is essential.\n\nWe are therefore of the opinion that:\n\n1. It is desirable that the Government should take part in the education of Chinese under British influence and auspices.\n\n2. Steps should be taken to establish in North China an institution for the higher education of Chinese, to accommodate students who cannot proceed to Hong Kong. Such an institution should be affiliated with the Hong Kong University and should, if possible, have the power to confer degrees, so that it may compete on equal terms with existing non-British institutions.\n\n3. The location of the institution should be at one of the following places: Peking, Shanghai, Hankow, the preference being in the order given.\n\n4. It is essential that the main institution should be supported by a number of schools that would serve it as feeders. To that end, existing British schools and colleges that are willing and able to conform to the required standard should be aided by Government subsidies.\n\nAt present, existing British schools and colleges in China receive no Government support, as do many non-British institutions. Hence British-controlled schools, especially those of the missionary societies, are understaffed and poorly equipped, and in the eyes of the Chinese compare unfavourably with non-British institutions.\n\nThis only asks for the extension of the system in vogue in India and Hong Kong to British schools in China.\n\n5. In all approved schools and colleges, there should be established scholarships, the winners of which would be entitled to continue their education at the head institution or at the Hong Kong University.\n\n6. In the head institution, provision should be made for the regular sending of selected graduates to England for further training in English universities.\n\n7. The head institution should organise a normal department.\n\n## List of Schools under British Control in China\n\n### Chekiang\n\n| Location | School Name | Principal/Administrator |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Hangchow | Medical and Maternity Training Colleges | Dr. Duncan Main, C.M. |\n| Ningpo | English Methodist College | H.

This clause shall not be varied or affected in any way by Chinese or other characters written or chopped on it by any person purporting to be acting on behalf of either party.\"\n\n(2.) Sellers are not responsible for delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract if occasioned by Strikes, Fire, Floods, War or Civil commotions, or any other circumstances beyond their control, and the certificate of any British Chamber of Commerce or other representative Trade Corporation as to the cause of delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract shall be conclusive evidence thereof.\n\n(3.) Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, etc., not settled amicably shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.\n\n(4.) Any goods not taken delivery of within the time specified shall remain at buyer's risk in every respect.\n\n(5.) No terms of this contract other than those expressed in the English language shall affect or be binding on the sellers.\n\n229\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I think the idea is that it should replace the old contract.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked that if a contract for goods was made and the shipments were spread over three months, and the last shipment did not arrive in time, could the buyer turn round and refuse to accept the goods? They had had cases taken to Court upon the point and personally he felt rather aggrieved about it. It came under the Sales and Goods Act.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said he had compared the present form with the old one and found a good many differences. There were two clauses in the old contract which were missed entirely in the proposed one, and he thought it advisable that they should be inserted. The one referred to the question of shades. A couple of years ago they were told by Manchester that they could not expect the exact imitation of old shades of samples, and so far as he knew that had not yet been withdrawn. He thought importers should be protected against deviation. The other addition referred to clause 3. He suggested it should be added that when the goods arrived in the market in an imperfect state buyers should take delivery, and any dispute with regard to quality, shade, etc., should be referred to arbitration. He thought that was the custom in the Colony.\n\nMr. PLUMMER (as Chairman of the Sub-Committee) said the sub-committee had very carefully considered the very large number of contracts which were at present used in the Colony by various importers, and it was quite impossible to cover everything which some importers desired. As to Mr. Cousland's point, if any portion of the goods were late through unforeseen causes they were covered by common law. If they were late from some cause for which they were responsible, then he was afraid they had to accept the responsibility.\n\nMr. COUSLAND: Only for the late portion. Legally, they are entitled to throw back the whole of the goods.\n\nMr. PLUMMER said that, with regard to the question of a slight deviation in shade, they could refer the matter to the Chamber of Commerce for arbitration.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said that one of the reasons why he mentioned the matter was to see whether the Piece Goods Sub-Committee had considered it.\n\nMr. COUSLAND remarked that in any sale contract with Manchester they had the clause inserted that late delivery of one portion of the contract did not affect the others.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, proceeding, said that the reasons why the proposed contract had been brought forward were familiar to all of them and did not need either advocacy or discussion by him as Chairman. That there was a genuine need for a standard form of contract which should be adopted and adhered to by all importing members of the Chamber was common knowledge, common ground and common agreement. He would like to say most emphatically that it was not the slightest use adopting the contract which had been suggested, either in its present form or amended, if they chose by show of hands that afternoon to amend it, unless those who adopted it prepared rigidly to adhere to it. (Hear, hear). He said that advisedly, because there had been cases reported to the Committee of the past contract, which had been in force for some considerable time, being partially, if not wholly, ignored by some members of the Chamber, who subscribed to it.\n\nIt might be that the reports were false. He formally moved the adoption of the Committee's recommendations as to the local standard form of fancy piece goods.\n\nMr. J. L. PLUMMER seconded.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked whether it was proposed that the clauses should simply be added to the old contract, or were to be considered to be the entire terms of the contract. If the latter, he was afraid there were one or two legal points which had been left out.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN suggested that points raised by Mr. Cousland and Mr. Van Andel would be covered if clause 3 were altered to read as follows:- \"Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, delivery, late shipment or non-fulfilment of contract, etc., not settled amicably, shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and their finding shall be binding on both parties.\"\n\nMr. COUSLAND suggested the addition of the following clause:- \"Late or non-arrival of one or more lots not to affect other shipments under this contract.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN announced that the suggestion would be accepted, as part of clause 3, or would be drafted in another clause.\n\nThe additions mentioned by the Chairman and Mr. Cousland were agreed to, and the proposed contract, as amended, was unanimously approved by the meeting.",

CARGO HANDLING AT BATAVIA- In his report on the economic situation of the Netherlands East Indies. Mr. H.A.N. Bluett. British commercial agent for the Netherlands East Indies at Batavia, makes some interesting references to that company' shipping. He says:--The scare`ty of cargo for Europe which be came apparent during the latter half of 1920 continued well into the year 1921, during the first half of which steamers sailing homewards with large quantities of space in spite of important reductions in freights.\n\nwere\n\nYORK. With the exception of a few speculative bookings, generally speaking business was done for shipment on very short notice, freight seldom being booked for more than a few weeks, and with a fairly large supply of ready tonnage on the spot there was no reason for shippers to bind them- selves until the last moment. During the early months of the latter part of the year, con- ditions, however, improved, there being a very firm demand for tonnage for two or three months ahead from July onwards- principally brought about by the sudden boom in the copra trade- but within a comparatively short space of time it was realised that the position had been exaggerat- ed, and that the requirements for tootage to the United Kingdom and the Continent were consider ably below expectations, more especially for through cargo from outlying ports in the Dutch East Indies, which, as a rule, consists largely of copra and rattans. De- pression again set in, business being little better than during the early monthe of the period under review; rates continued or\n\nSteamere proceed via Suez Canal or Panama Canal at Owners option.

        "content_text": "## Landlords Want To Know If Peasants Plan \"Communism\"\n\n(Continued from Monday) When the Landlords League was disorganized, its \"Left wing\" sent a delegation to ask the Peasants Organization whether or not it would practice \"Communism\". The union answered: \"We are working not only for the interests of the peasants, but also for those of the landlords. First, if the peasants are exploited or starved, it will be very difficult for the landlords to get rent. Also, there will be famine, and the landlords themselves will starve.\n\nSecond, if the peasants have better living conditions, they will not turn bandits; then the landlords will be unmolested, and there will be public peace and order.\n\nThird, if their conditions are better, the peasants will be able to make the land more productive, and they will pay their rent more regularly.\n\nFourth, they will live and work peacefully, and will fight the landlords no more.\n\n## Landlords Subside\n\nThe landlords' delegation was satisfied with that answer, and promised to explain it to the whole corporation.\n\n### THE CANTON GAZETTE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1926\n\n## F.O. In Protest Of Portuguese Trespass\n\nA reply was given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last Saturday to the Provincial Government concerning action taken in the case in which Portuguese were found to have trespassed on Chinese territory at Yan Hang, and to have pulled up the poles of fishing nets. The letter reads: \"We are in receipt of your despatch concerning the trespass of Portuguese on Chinese territory at the sea at Yan Hang, and their action in pulling up the poles of the fishing nets, put up by Chinese, and asking us to have the matter taken up etc. We received a report on November 23rd from Mr. Chu Lei-shou, the Foreign Officer in Tsishan, stating that deputies were sent by him to make investigations at Yan Hang, and that they found that the poles of the fishing nets put up by Chen Hai-shun and the Liang clans had actually been pulled down by Portuguese. We accordingly took up the matter with the Portuguese Consul in Canton, on the 25th Nov. protesting against its action, and requesting him to further ask the Macao Governor to severely punish the Portuguese who had committed the mischief, and to repair the poles of the fishing-nets that were pulled down.\"\n\n## Give Fifteen Days Grace To Bannermen\n\nA notification was issued by the Bureau of Finance on Monday, informing all owners of properties on the various streets formerly occupied by the Manchus and Bannermen that they should forthwith surrender their title-deeds and certificates for verification. Fifteen days of grace have been given. After that, property will be marked out, and confiscated.\n\n| Property Status | Action Required |\n| --- | --- |\n| Title-deeds and certificates | Surrender for verification within 15 days |\n\nThe above-mentioned properties are already treated by the City Government as Government property, pending the verification of the title-deeds etc. held by their owners. Orders have been repeatedly given to surrender deeds for examination, and to pay the necessary funds to avoid confiscation. As many deeds have not yet been surrendered, the fixed period given by the Bureau has now been prolonged fifteen days.\n\n## TO PROTECT RICE HONG\n\nThe Departments of Justice and of Agriculture and Labor have jointly instructed the Magistrate, Liu Tsai-po, of Toishan district, to take steps to ensure protection to the Chi Wo Tong Rice Hongs, in order that they may be enabled to carry on their trade. The shop-assistants of these Hongs were forced by the Rice Mill Workers Union to become its members, causing a riot, with the result that Li Chung-ming, the proprietor of the rice shop Hau Lung in Sai Ning Market was seriously wounded, and that three baskets of rice which belonged to him were overturned.\n\n## TAKE ACTION AGAINST OPPRESSION OF SLAVES\n\nInstruction was given by the Provincial Government on Tuesday to the Magistrate of the Kaoyiu district, demanding a detailed report, after thorough investigation, on the practice prevailing in the Liang Clans in Tunghsiang, Shipu of the district, of keeping peasant slaves who, as it was reported, have been deprived of personal freedom by their masters in the matter of marriage etc. The Magistrate has further been instructed to take proper steps for putting an end to such an evil practice without delay.\n\n## NEW UNION FORMED\n\nThe formation of the meat roasting and preserving workers' union was celebrated at a meeting held in the Tai Ping Theatre in Sai Kua Yuen Monday.\n\n## Statistics\n\nOn November 1923, there were \n- 15,000 members in Tsukim district union.\n- 2,500 members in Weizang \n- 75,000 members in Haifung district union.\n\nThe Haifung PO, was divided as follows:\n- 10% farmhands.\n- 20% self-farmers.\n- 30% self-farmers tenants.\n- 40% tenants.\n- 500 artisans.\n- 300 unemployed.\n- 30 students.\n- 10 school teachers (village schools).\n- 10 small land-owners.\n- 30 small merchants.\n- 3 soldiers of Chen Chiung-ming.\n- 400 sampaners.\n- 1 magician.\n- 50 catholic peasants (these latter were \"unchurched\" after a few months in the union).\n\n## KWANGTUNG TELEGRAPH ADMINISTRATION\n\n### Reopening of Shameen Branch Office\n\nWe beg to announce to the public that the Shameen Telegraph Office (under the management of the Kwangtung Telegraph Administration) is now reestablished in Shameen, British Concession, House No. 5 and 6, Lot No. 40, \"Kwangle\".\n\nAll firms having accounts with us are requested to make their deposit with our main office at SAMFOOCHIN (near the French Cathedral).\n\nOnly Central Bank notes are accepted in accordance with the order of our Nationalist Government.\n\nKwangtung Telegraph Administration  \nCHEN HSIN-TSENG, Manager.\n\n## CHINA MERCHANTS S.N.

THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe annual meeting of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon at the City Hall was notable for a magnificent speech by H.E. the Governor.\n\nNow as always, declared His Excellency, British policy in China aims wholly and solely at security, freedom and equal opportunity for British trade. Great Britain has no territorial ambitions whatsoever in China, and it is amazing that the \"Nationalists\" should denounce Great Britain as \"the enemy\" and clasp to their hearts the Russian Bolshevists, who appear to be pursuing the old Czarist policy of Slavonic aggrandisement in the Far East.\n\n\"We are quite determined,\" said His Excellency, \"to have no Bolshevism in this Colony. Nor shall we permit our coastwise shipping to be preyed upon with impunity by organised piracy.\" The so-called economic weapon Sir Cecil Clementi described as the \"Bolshevist Bludgeon,\" or rather the \"Bolshevist Boomerang,\" because it would most certainly curl back and deliver its shrewdest blow at those who endeavoured to wield it.\n\nThe Governor urged the Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong to see that to combat lying propaganda, the truth is widely told all over China, for the victory of truth is the best means of meeting the Bolshevist menace. After referring to present indications that the Chinese Nationalist Party is at last struggling to rid itself of the taint of Bolshevism, H.E. the Governor expressed the hope that the traditional friendly relations between Hong Kong and neighbouring Provinces in China were about to be renewed. He had complete faith in the future, and believed that, when the present \"spasm of madness\" was spent, Great Britain and Hong Kong would be recognized throughout the Eighteen Provinces as the best friends of the Chinese people.\n\nThe address was received with great enthusiasm.\n\nThe meeting was presided over by the Hon.

He is fully conversant now with all that happens in London in connection with the Tin, and has advised us fully of what occurs in Hong Kong.\n\nIt is to be hoped that the result of all this careful examination of the whole matter will bring about an improvement in the general position causing such difficulties as have occurred in the past to be impossible.\n\nWe understand that, in due course, Mr. Branson will issue his report in detail on all that has taken place and on the conclusions he has drawn therefrom.\n\nWe are, Dear Sir,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nDaniel C.

We have given a good deal of thought to the matter and have had many discussions with people interested, as well as correspondence. We have also carried out a certain amount of research work here to endeavour to ascertain the reasons for the differences.\n\nIt will certainly be a pleasure to us to meet Mr. Branson and to take the opportunity his presence in this Country affords to examine together the problems presented in this question of Chinese Tin. It will not only be extremely interesting but we hope will lead to good results with a consequent minimizing and, if possible, eliminating the troubles that have been occurring.\n\nWe venture to enclose herewith copy of a letter we have today addressed to Mr. Branson which we trust will be found in accordance with the wishes of the Secretary of State.\n\nWe are, Dear Sir,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nDaniel C.

In the first place it is not clear why Hong Kong should want supplies on these terms and questions that may be asked are:-\n \n| Question | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Why have supplies not been arranged for Hong Kong in the ordinary course of events through the Colonial Office? |\n| (b) | What advantage is being gained by obtaining supplies through U.N.R.R.A? If it is only a question of dollars is it quite in order that we should utilise U.N.R.R.A. machinery to arrange such supplies? |\n| (c) | Why is Hong Kong so short of textiles, rat poison, etc.? |\n| (d) | Has the free distribution to Hong Kong by U.N.R.R.A. of the used clothing collected in their Victory Drive not been of material assistance? |\n\n3. With regard to putting such a scheme into practice:-\n\n(a) The policy of His Majesty's Government has always been not to apply to U.N.R.R.A. for assistance for British Far Eastern territories.\n\nMiss A.M.

The allegations made in the report may shortly be summed up as:\n\nI.\nII.\nIII.\nIV.\nV.\nVI.\nVII.\n\nAs a result of the visit by the I.C.F.T.U. delegation to the factory in July, 1950, and the information given on this occasion to its members regarding rates of pay, etc., in the factory, the employers:\n\n(a) first attempted piecemeal dismissal of workers, and when this failed because of the\n(b) workers' opposition, closed entirely\n\non the 8th August, 1950, with the intention of breaking the spirit of the workers with a view to being able to resume work, paying lower rates.\n\nThat police were called in on behalf of the employer to assist him in a trade dispute.\n\nThat the number of workers involved was 1,700.\n\nThat although such action contravened Government regulations forbidding workers to strike and employers to lock out, no official action was taken against the employer in spite of his sudden closure of the factory.\n\nThat the I.C.F.T.U. delegation's visit was claimed by the local Communist newspapers as the immediate cause of the closure.\n\nGeneral allegations that the management were opposed to the formation of unions and that on resumption of work they would probably discriminate against union representatives. That they had pursued the policy of setting off one union against another and that they were deliberately setting a pattern which other employers would be likely to follow.\n\nThat the closure was immediate and that absolutely no notice whatever was given to the workers.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\nJAMES GRIFFITHS, M.P.",

That report contains three major recommendations:\n\n(a) that the £250,000 promised by His Majesty's Government in 1948 should be fully used to meet capital needs and should be paid over as early as possible;\n\n(b) that a further grant from the Colonial Development and Welfare Higher Education allocation of £250,000 should be made; and\n\n(c) that if possible a new endowment fund should be initiated by His Majesty's Government by a further grant (not from funds under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act) on a pound for pound basis up to £250,000 against funds raised from other sources, on condition that His Majesty's Government's contribution should be vested in securities outside Hong Kong.\n\nAs regards the grants mentioned under (a) above, the Treasury are being approached with a view to securing the release of a substantial portion of the provisions already made on the Colonial Office vote for this year to meet certain capital projects referred to in paragraph 8 of the Visiting Mission's report, and thereafter of the balance at such rate as the progress of work demands.\n\nWith regard to (c) the recommendation will be the subject of correspondence with the Treasury with a view to securing its implementation, if possible.\n\nTurning to recommendation (b), the Colonial Office have no hesitation in submitting this recommendation for most favourable consideration by the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee. The Colonial Office is fully satisfied that there is ample justification for this grant from the Colonial Development and Welfare Higher Education allocation to enable the University of Hong Kong to provide the necessary university facilities for students in Hong Kong desiring a university education in the Colony, and for others, e.g. from Malaya, who may prefer to secure their higher education in a Chinese atmosphere. As is pointed out in the letter addressed to the Secretary of the Inter-University Council to which reference is made at the commencement of this note, the recent developments in China may well lead to Chinese parents no longer wishing to have their sons educated in Chinese universities.\n\nMoreover,\n\nPage 3",

FILE\n\nI am in general agreement with the substance and recommendations of the memorandum of the Labour Advisory Committee. In many cases where these recommendations are not already embodied in the trade union legislation of this Colony they were recommended by Mr. R.G.D. Houghton, C.B.E., during his recent visit to Hong Kong, were fully discussed with him and have been noted for implementation as soon as reasonably possible.\n\n3. In this category are the recommendations regarding the separation of the post of Registrar of Trade Unions from the Labour Department, the increase in the powers of the Registrar, the closer supervision of trade union accounts, further provision for a more satisfactory system of audit, the question of levies, the statutory provision for secret ballot, limitation on persons who may become union officials, disqualification for certain offences and the expansion of trade union education.\n\n4. There are, however, one or two points on which I do not think that the recommendations of the Labour Advisory Committee, though undoubtedly desirable in certain circumstances, could now be applied in Hong Kong. The most important of these is the suggestion regarding the introduction of a system of provisional or probationary registration for new trade unions and the possibility of recognising a sub-trade union class of associations.\n\n5. As you are aware, trade unionism in Hong Kong goes back over a period of many years. It has its roots not only in the traditional guild system of China but also unfortunately in the mass organisation of labour, primarily for political ends, which has been a feature of Chinese life since the Revolution of 1911. Trade unions were very active in the Colony in the years just before the war and again from 1945 onwards. Hong Kong trade union legislation of 1948 did no more than provide a legal framework into which existing organisations could fit themselves by conforming to certain standard rules, but it is doubtful whether such conformity has ever been more than on the surface or whether the Ordinance has, in fact, made any impression on the actual organisation and methods of more than a few unions.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nJAMES GRIFFITHS, M.P.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21",

H. Chinn, and to inform you that I have recently taken the opportunity of discussing social welfare issues with the Governor.\n\n2. I was glad to learn of the efforts which are being made in Hong Kong to deal with the many special problems which have arisen mainly because of unsettled conditions in China and the consequent influx of refugees into the Colony. I appreciate from your savingram No.543 of the 17th May that these problems and the extra defence and internal security work caused by them has rendered the consideration of social policy very difficult. Nevertheless I was somewhat concerned to hear that many of the longer term and more constructive social welfare policies cannot yet be put in hand, largely through lack of staff and because the Social Welfare Officer has been required to deputise for the Secretary for Chinese Affairs.\n\n3. I am aware that it is difficult to foster a civic conscience in a population that is largely migrant. At the same time consideration of the more important social issues cannot be deferred indefinitely. In the circumstances I would be glad if consideration could now be given to the first two of Mr. Chinn's suggestions, namely the establishment of an independent department with separate functions from those of the Secretariat of Chinese Affairs, and perhaps more important, the provision of a deputy for the present Social Welfare Officer. As you know, I attach great importance to the development of an organisation which is capable of tackling many of the social problems of Hong Kong to which insufficient attention can be devoted at present. I hope that you will be prepared to place this problem before the Legislature and that they will recognise that the provision of funds for a substantial increase in the establishment of the Social Welfare Office would be a desirable act conducive to the future development of the territory.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient,\n\nhumble servant,\n\n(Signed) J.
