HOPE GRANT to Mr. Secretary HERBERT.\n\n(No. 46.)\n\nHead Quarters, Chang-tsia-wan, SIR,\n\nSeptember 20, 1860. I HAVE the honour to report that I left Tientsin on the 9th instant, with 700 Infantry, 600 Cavalry, and two batteries of Artillery; 3,000 French troops followed, one march behind me, and two days later Sir John Michel marched, with a regiment of Cavalry, a 9-pounder battery, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade.\n\nOn the 13th instant I reached Hoosciwoo, 40 miles from Tientsin, and as several letters had been received by Lord Elgin from some fresh Commissioners of high rank, I halted whilst Messrs. Parkes and Wade went on to meet them at Tang-chow, 25 miles distant. On the 15th these gentlemen returned, having made satisfactory arrangements with the Chinese Commissioners, by which it was agreed that the Allied Forces should halt at Chang-tsia-wan, five miles short of Tang-chow, to which place the Ambassadors should advance, with an escort, and sign the convention. On the 16th Sir J. Michel's force arrived, and on the 17th we encamped at Matow, five miles short of Chang-tsia-wan. The forces consisted of Lieutenant-Colonel Barry's Armstrong Battery, Captain Desborough's 9-pounders, Captain Stirling's 6-pounder Battery, the Cavalry Brigade, and the 2nd and 4th Infantry Brigades; and 1,200 French, with a light battery. From the above, however, three 6-pounders and the 60th Rifles had been left at Hooseiwoo, to hold that place, where I have a depôt.\n\nMr. Parkes rode on to Tang-chow to arrange matters for Lord Elgin's reception, and to make sure of the agreement as to our advance, that a collision might not take place by inadvertence; it having been settled that the Chinese army should fall back from Chang-tsia-wan. Mr. Parkes was accompanied by an escort of Fane's Horse, under Lieutenant Anderson, and by Mr. Loch, Private Secretary to Lord Elgin, On my part I sent Lieutenant-Colonel Walker, A.Q.M.G., to fix the site of our camp with the Chinese authorities, and D.-A.-C.-Gen. Thompson to receive the promised supplies for the force.\n\nAt daybreak on the 18th, I marched, and, after going about four miles, I came in sight of a very large force of Chinese, both Cavalry and Infantry. Whilst halting to form up my force, Mr. Loch galloped in with three sowars, and informed me that, on going into Tang-chow the previous day, they had found everything quiet on the road; the Commissioners had agreed to all Mr. Parkes' arrangements; and that, accordingly, leaving Lieutenant Anderson and his sowars at Tang-chow, Messrs. Parkes, Loch, Thompson, and Lieutenant-Colonel Walker, with five men of the King's Dragoon Guards, had come out to meet us and show us our camping ground, which was a mile and a half south of Chang-tsia-wan.\n\nOn arrival at that spot, however, they found it occupied by a large Chinese army, whilst batteries had been hastily thrown up and armed, so as to flank the proposed site of our camp. From the commanding officer Mr. Parkes could obtain no satisfaction, so he started back to Tang-chow with an orderly of the King's Dragoon Guards to see the High Commissioner and ask the reason of this move. Mr. Loch came on to tell me of this, and Colonel Walker and Deputy Assistant Commissary-General Thompson remained on the ground with four of the King's Dragoon Guards and one sowar, where they were to await Mr. Parkes's return.\n\nIt was only now that I learnt that Mr. De Norman, Attaché to Her Majesty's Legation, and Mr. Bowlby, correspondent of the Times newspaper, had gone to Tang-chow with Mr. Parkes and remained there with Lieutenant Anderson.\n\nMr. Loch volunteered to return with any orders, and Captain Brabazon, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General, R.A., volunteered to accompany him.\n\nThey accordingly started, under a flag of truce, for Tang-chow, with my orders for Mr. Parkes and the whole party to return at once to head quarters.\n\nMeanwhile the Chinese Cavalry advanced in great numbers, on both flanks, and their Infantry poured down on our right front, which was enclosed ground and carefully entrenched. I was extremely anxious not to engage, for fear of compromising our officers, who were in their lines. I therefore covered both my flanks with Cavalry and ordered the baggage to be hastened on, and massed on a village in our rear, where it could be defended by a small force. This latter operation occupied nearly two hours, during which time the enemy's Cavalry had almost entirely surrounded our forces. Sufficient time had elapsed for all of our party to return from Tang-chow, and I became anxious for their safety, when suddenly a commotion appeared in the enemy's line. The guns and matchlock men in their centre opened fire, and Colonel Walker's party dashed out of the midst of their ranks. Colonel Walker reported that, whilst waiting for Mr. Parkes, a French officer joined him, who was suddenly set upon and cut down by a Chinese soldier, and, on his riding up to prevent his being murdered, his own sword was snatched from his scabbard, and some men tried to throw him off his horse. Seeing that it was a deliberate attempt to assassinate the whole of them Colonel Walker set spurs to his horse and galloped out with his party, under the fire of the Chinese line. One of his men was wounded and one horse, Mr. Thompson receiving a spear-thrust in his back; but they fortunately managed to reach our lines, their wounds not being severe. It was now useless to wait longer, and the attack was immediately formed. General de Montauban advanced to turn their left, and with him I sent a squadron of Fane's Horse, under Lieutenant Cattley. On the centre the 9-pounder Battery opened, supported by a squadron of King's Dragoon Guards, and part of the 99th Regiment advanced up the road.\n\nThe Armstrong Battery with the 15th Punjaub Infantry took ground to the left, whilst Sir John Michel, with the 1st Sikh Cavalry, three 6-pounder guns, and the 2nd (Queen's), made a wide flank movement on the extreme left, so as to turn the right of the enemy. The action commenced simultaneously on all points, and it was now apparent that the Chinese had carefully prepared a very treacherous reception for our forces, An entrenchment, skilfully concealed by natural obstacles, extended on our right and left for several miles, and was armed with numerous guns.\n\nTheir cavalry hovered in large masses on our entire left flank, so that Sir J. Michel was unable to perform the flank movement that had been intended, until the 1st Sikh Cavalry had, by a brilliant charge, discomfited the Tartar Horse, and his force, advancing, had driven them back for some miles. Finding his position to be such, I caused the Armstrong battery and the 15th Punjaub Infantry to take ground still more to the left, and with them I turned the right of the enemy's entrenchment, who thereupon fled with considerable precipitancy. I then sent the Armstrong guns and the reserve cavalry to join Sir J. Michel, who, after making a circuit of six or seven miles, joined me in front of Chang-tsia-wan at a later hour. Meanwhile the French had turned the left by a very extended sweep, and were advancing steadily up, capturing many guns, whilst the 99th with the 9-pound battery joined me in the centre of the enemy's position. The 15th Punjaub Infantry pushing on with much spirit, captured several guns in the act of retiring, and eventually advanced through Chang-tsia-wan, taking several large camps on the outside. Here my force halted. The French being much exhausted by their extensive movement, had halted on the Chinese position.\n\nThe enormous extent of country covered by the enemy, who showed more than 20,000 men, did not permit me to use my force with as good effect as I might have done, as it was too small to allow of its being scattered.\n\nThe loss of the enemy is estimated at 600 killed, whilst 75 guns fell into our hands.\n\nThe French force encountered chiefly infantry, who, on being driven back, were charged most gallantly by Lieut. Cattley's squadron, of whose conduct General de Montauban has written to me in the very highest terms.\n\nThe conduct of the rest of the troops was also most excellent; and I would more particularly mention the 15th Punjaub Infantry, commanded by Lieut. Randall, who, under my personal observation, advanced with great steadiness, and kept their position to the front throughout the day,\n\nMr. Wade went yesterday to Tang-chow to try and gather tidings of Mr. Parkes's party, but the Prefect denied all knowledge concerning them, A Chinaman, however, was brought in to-day, who states that he heard that upwards of 20 foreigners went after the fight to Pekin. If this is true, we have every reason to hope for their ultimate safety.\n\nI was compelled to leave a good force at Tientsin, lest the sudden withdrawal of so many troops should allow a disturbance to arise there. This in effect took place, but being judiciously met by Sir R. Napier, everything is again quiet there, and I have directed that officer to join me with two regiments of infantry, leaving two and a-half regiments, with two batteries of artillery under Brigadier Staveley at Tientsin.\n\nI have, &c,\n\nJ. HOPE GRANT, Lieut.-Gen.,\n\nCommander of the Forces.\n\n(Signed)\n\nThe Right Honourable\n\nThe Secretary of State for War, &c.\n\nA 3\n\nPage 406\n\n2\n\n5",

        "content_text": "## THE LETTER FROM BRITISH GUIANA TO THE REV. W. LOBSCHEID\n\n(Re-printed from the “Daily Press” of the 18th March, 1867.)\n\nMY DEAR SIR—After a delay of two months in consequence of my being unable sooner to procure the information I wished for, I now proceed to reply to your very welcome letter of May 27th.\n\nI am glad to hear of the safe arrival of the agency, but fear that in consequence of the altered state of things relative to Chinese emigration, there may be some difficulty in the drugs being forwarded. If no ship be leaving for Demerara, I should think the best way would be to send them via London, unless any opportunity offers of a vessel going to Surinam. In such case I ought to be advised of the shipment. The opinion here is that Chinese emigration must be abandoned, if the proposed restrictions are insisted on. This will be most disastrous for the colony.\n\nI hear that Mary did not leave the colony with Ashang. I believe she is still at Pl. Great Diamond (Demerara River) with her family. Most of those who went to the Hopetown settlement and got discontented settled on this estate. There was a young man here a few weeks since, who gave his name as John Schmidt, and stated that he was on his way to Hongkong via Surinam. I believe he was engaged as an interpreter at the Emigration Office in Georgetown, and I was told that he had given as a reason for leaving that he had married an extravagant Creole wife and wanted to be rid of her. When I was at Nickerie a fortnight since, Mr. Dessé told me that he had presented testimonials from you and that he had engaged him to look after a store at his estate of Pl. \"Paradise.\"\n\nThe following extract respecting How-fook's family is from a letter of the Rev. D. Smith, in whose parish they reside—The family still live at Ronnie part of Pl. \"Houston\". A-yung, the son and eldest child, has been continuously employed since his father's death as an interpreter for the medical man visiting the Houston Hospital, and thus earns sufficient for his own maintenance. The three remaining children—all girls—are unable to work as yet, and for each of them their mother receives from the Local Board of Guardians an allowance of $1.28 per month. The mother works occasionally. The whole family is well and thriving so far as bodily condition is concerned, with the exception of the lad A-yung. He is very sickly, and I very much doubt if he will ever reach man's estate. Should he live he will be quite incapable of any hard work.\n\nWith regard to a teacher for the Chinese here I am at present employing a man named Wong-awa, who, I believe came in the `Dora`. He has lost his wife, and had been out of employment when I engaged him. He was for some time an agent for O Tye Kim, but they had some misunderstanding, and Wong-awa left him. He is not yet baptized, and understands very little English. The knowledge of English is not of the first importance. What I want is a man who is a real Christian himself and of sufficient ability to preach the truth of the Gospel to his countrymen, making himself useful also in teaching the children. You say \"$15 and free station\"; I think if you could find a really good man an effort might be made to raise $15 a month for him. At present the number of Christian Chinese here is small: men 20, women 22, boys 11, girls 11, total 64; number on the two estates 250, so that there is a large scope for missionary work. They are just building a house for the teacher—in which also he can assemble them for the religious exercises—the estate cottages being all occupied.\n\nIn a letter recently received from the Archdeacon, he says—\"The settlement of Hopetown is flourishing. The Bishop, Mr. Brett, Mr. F. Austin, and myself visited it on Thursday (18th Oct.), and were all greatly surprised and pleased at what we saw. They have cleared 5 miles, 2,000 feet in depth, of river and creek margin, and erected dwellings in un-interrupted succession along the clearing: have 40 ovens (cost of each $80) for burning charcoal; have plantains, ginger, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables planted ad libitum, have pigs to the value of $1,000. 150 acres in rice, which in December will yield 600 bags at $9 $5,400, which will more than pay off the original loan of $2,200 lent by the Government to start the settlement. There are 170 people on the mission, of whom 40 are women and 20 children. There are 10 Christians, really from Skeldon. They are all well clad, healthy and happy. They have lost only one person by death; one birth only. They have lately built a temporary chapel or school house of neat construction. They have three large pants of their own, besides batter, and there is constant trading with the Chinese store in town—and they have a store on the settlement. They live in peace; no case having as yet had to be referred to the magistrate.”\n\nThe Bishop also writes: \"We were gratified beyond measure with what we saw. The settlement will soon be comparatively rich. In December Mr. O Tye-kim told me that the Chinese will commence repaying the Government advance, and in four or five months afterwards the borrowers will be quite free.\" In a previous letter His Lordship wrote: \"You will not be sorry to hear that O. Tye-kim is about to be licensed by me as a reader, and that he proposes throwing himself heartily into the work of the Church, and to devote himself wholly to the task of evangelizing his countrymen.\"\n\nI have sent to you—in care of a young man named Chin-a-pow—a copy of a volume I have published, entitled `El Dorade; British Guiana as a field for colonisation`. I hope it will reach you safely.\n\nNext year I shall probably be in England on leave of absence, as my health has not been good for some time.\n\nI had almost forgotten to mention a matter of some interest bearing on colonisation. One of the members of the Court of Policy, Mr. Gordon, of Bel Air, has given notice that at the meeting of the Combined Court next year he will propose the following resolutions:\n\n1. That from the sparseness of its present population, the productive capabilities of British Guiana are not sufficiently developed, and any project having for its object the increase of the population and the supply of the great want of the country—labour—deserves the encouragement of the court.\n2. That such a wide area of fertile land, which a bountiful Providence has placed at the disposal of the British Crown, presents an attractive colonising field to many who now inhabit densely-populated countries, were the advantages afforded by British Guiana made known and encouragement held out to free settlers.\n3. That no colony offers a more profitable investment for capital, and were the Crown lands thus settled, wider scope would be afforded for its beneficial employment in the formation or extension of canals, tramways, steam communication, the electric telegraph, &c.; and this court therefore recommends to the Government the consideration of the question of having the Crown lands (in certain localities to be hereafter determined on) surveyed and laid out in plots, due regard being had to highways and roads, with the view of taking free grants of them to settlers, upon conditions which will ensure their cultivation within a given period.\n4. That in anticipation of the revenues that must arise from the increased population giving increased production, in the opinion of the court, it is sound policy to foster and aid all undertakings which, although at the first bending apparently only to the advantages of the few, yet eventually and really contribute to the well-being of the many; and this court, therefore, will authorize advances of money, upon moderate interest and repayable by easy instalments, to the free settlers upon Crown lands for the erection of houses, and for draining and bringing into cultivation the lands so allotted to them, such advances to be expended under official inspection, and to form a first lien upon the land and building until repaid with interest.\n5. That the principle of raising loans of a reproductive character having been already affirmed, and for the purpose of enabling the Government to carry out the objects indicated, this court authorizes the issue from time to time, in such sums as occasion may require, but not in the whole to exceed £1,000,000 sterling, of Government debentures, bearing interest, payable half-yearly at or under the rate of  per cent. per annum, to be secured upon the revenues of the colony not already pledged in security for existing loans.\n\nI heartily wish for success in your difficult labours and remain yours very faithfully.\n\nW. T. YENESS, Chaplain\n\n## \n\n**Letter from British Guiana**\n\nTo the Editor,\n\nSir,\n\nI beg to forward you a copy of a letter from the Chaplain of British Guiana to the Rev. W. Lobscheid, which I think will be read with interest by many of your readers.\n\nYours, &c.\n\n## Letter from Hongkong\n\nTo His Excellency the Administrator-in-Council.\n\nSir,\n\nThe petition of the undersigned Shem Wo, &c., &c., coolies lately shipped in the ship \"Portland\" for Demerara, humbly showeth:\n\nThat your petitioners were induced to enter into a contract to proceed to Demerara by the false representations of the parties concerned in shipping them; that they were not informed of the real nature of the contract, nor of the conditions under which they were to be employed; that they were told they were going to a place called \"Chy-na-sah\", where they would be employed as labourers on high wages, and that they would be at liberty to return to China after a certain number of years.\n\nThat on their arrival at Demerara, they were compelled to work under circumstances of great hardship and oppression; that they were not paid the wages promised to them; that they were subjected to corporal punishment; and that they were not allowed to return to China at the expiration of their contract.\n\nThat your petitioners have been informed that the parties concerned in shipping them to Demerara have been guilty of forgery and other crimes in connection with the shipment; that the notices to the Chinese explaining the conditions of the contract to be entered into had been altered by Ho Aloy, the principal contractor; and that he had used other persons' signatures to prevent people from applying to him for advice.\n\nThat your petitioners have reason to believe that the Superintendent of Police and the Registrar General were aware of these facts, but failed to take action; and that they have reason to believe that Ho Aloy was the principal instigator of the crimes committed against them.\n\nYour petitioners therefore humbly pray that Your Excellency will be pleased to take their case into consideration, and to cause justice to be done to them.\n\nAnd your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.\n\n## \n\nShem Wo, &c., &c.\n\nTo His Excellency Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, K.C.M.G., &c., &c., Administrator-in-Council.\n\n**MEMORANDUM**\n\nThe undersigned begs to state that he has seen a copy of the letter from the Chaplain of British Guiana to the Rev. W. Lobscheid, and that he has also seen a copy of the petition from the Chinese coolies who were shipped in the \"Portland\" for Demerara.\n\nHe begs to state that the allegations contained in the petition are substantially correct; that he has seen the papers in the Court, and that he has obtained a copy from an Emigrant on board the \"Portland\", which copy is still in his hands.\n\nThat the notices to the Chinese explaining the conditions of the contract to be entered into had been altered by Ho Aloy, the principal contractor; and that he had used other persons' signatures to prevent people from applying to him for advice.\n\nThat the Superintendent of Police and the Registrar General were aware of these facts, but failed to take action; and that Ho Aloy was the principal instigator of the crimes committed against the coolies.\n\nThe undersigned begs to state that he reported the fact to his superiors. \n\nWith all this evidence, which must have been known to Deane and Tonnachy, how do Your Excellency account for the exculpation of Ho Aloy? How was it, that the Superintendent of Police and the Registrar General did not better discharge their duty? There can be no doubt of the fact, that the men who are now in prison, acted in concert with, if not under, the instruction of Ho Aloy, the principal contractor. Your Excellency cannot deny that justice. For what purpose has a passage broker to give security to the amount of $20,000, if he is not to be held responsible for his actions? Justice has failed; and when time shall permit me to give a sketch of the late proceedings, Your Excellency's administration will not go out free of censure.\n\nUnder these circumstances Your Excellency need not be surprised at seeing residents taking no interest in the welfare of the Colony; for a person will consider his life and character of greater value than a parcel of flattering letters from Colonial Governments.\n\nI have the honor to be\n\nYour Excellency's\n\nMost Obedient Servant,\n\nW. Lobscheid",

Si cette formalité était négligée, et qu'un convoi pareil entrât sans un permis, le dit convoi, et ce qui le compose, sera de bonne prise, et les objets saisis seront détruits.\n\n## ARTICLE XI\n\nLa citadelle de Vinh-Long sera gardée jusqu'à nouvel ordre par les troupes Françaises, sans empêcher pourtant en aucune façon l'action des mandarins Annamites. Cette citadelle sera rendue au Roi d'Annam aussitôt qu'il aura mis fin à la rébellion qui existe aujourd'hui par ses ordres dans les provinces de Gia-Dinh et de Dinh-Tuong, et lorsque les chefs de ces rébellions seront partis et le pays tranquille et soumis comme il convient à un pays en paix.\n\n## ARTICLE XII\n\nCe Traité étant conclu entre les trois nations, et les Ministres Plénipotentiaires des dites trois nations l'ayant signé et revêtu de leurs sceaux, ils en rendront compte, chacun à son Souverain; et, à partir d'aujourd'hui, jour de la signature, dans l'intervalle d'un an, les trois Souverains ayant examiné et ratifié le dit Traité, l'échange des ratifications aura lieu dans la capitale du Royaume d'Annam.\n\nEn foi de quoi, les Plénipotentiaires respectifs susnommés ont signé le présent Traité et y ont apposé leurs cachets.\n\nA Saigon, le 5 Juin, 1862.\n\nTu-Duc, 15me année, 15me mois, 9me jour.\n\n(L.S.)

        "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\n## RAPPORT\n\nfait au ministre de la marine et des colonies et au ministre de l'instruction publique, des cultes et des beaux-arts, par M. L. Delaporte, lieutenant de vaisseau, sur la mission scientifique aux ruines des monuments khmers de Cambodge.\n\nMonsieur le ministre,\n\nAu mois d'avril 1873, M. le ministre de la marine décida qu'un voyage d'exploration serait entrepris au Tonking et me fit l'honneur de me nommer chef de cette mission. Ce voyage ne devant pas commencer avant le retour de la saison sèche, c'est-à-dire avant le mois de novembre, je pensai à utiliser les six mois que nous allions passer d'abord en Cochinchine en faisant une excursion aux ruines khmères. J'en parlai à M. le contre-amiral Dupré, gouverneur de la colonie, qui voulut bien m'encourager dans ce projet et me promettre son concours.\n\nJe m'adressai alors à M. le directeur des beaux-arts, près duquel je trouvai l'accueil le plus favorable, et, sur sa proposition, M. le ministre de l'instruction publique consentit à ajouter à la subvention que son département donnait déjà pour concourir à l'exploration du Tonking, une nouvelle somme de dix mille francs prise sur les fonds des beaux-arts et destinée à me procurer les moyens de recueillir au milieu des ruines une collection qui serait plus tard envoyée en France par les bâtiments de l'État.\n\nJe pouvais aussi compter sur les ressources de la colonie et sur le concours du personnel de la mission de Tonking, que M. le gouverneur m'avait promis de mettre également à ma disposition, pendant l'excursion aux monuments khmers. Enfin, la direction des beaux-arts voulut bien me confier un certain nombre de statues, tableaux et gravures, pour offrir en cadeaux au roi et aux mandarins du Cambodge.\n\nLe 20 mai, la mission d'exploration du Tonking quittait la France. Cinq semaines plus tard nous atteignions la Cochinchine.\n\nDès notre arrivée à Saïgon nous nous occupâmes activement d'organiser l'excursion préparatoire aux ruines, à laquelle nous ne pouvions consacrer qu'un temps limité. M. le gouverneur donna des ordres pour faire armer une canonnière et une chaloupe à vapeur qu'il mit à notre disposition pour toute la durée de ce premier voyage. Les préparatifs furent rapidement achevés, le personnel complété, et au bout d'un mois nous pûmes partir pour le Cambodge.\n\n## Composition de la mission\n\nLa mission que je dirigeais se composait alors de:\n- MM. Bouillet, ingénieur hydrographe;\n- Ratte, ingénieur civil, géologue;\n- le docteur Jullion, naturaliste, envoyé par le Muséum; tous trois venus de France avec moi;\n- Faraut, conducteur des ponts et chaussées, adjoint spécialement pour l'excursion aux ruines.\n- M. le capitaine d'infanterie de marine F... devait nous rejoindre plus tard et s'occuper spécialement des moulages de sculptures et de bas-reliefs.\n\nQuant au matériel, nous emportions en outre un attirail complet de câbles, palans, scies, etc., pour la manœuvre des pierres, du plâtre et du ciment pour les moulages, et tous les objets utiles que les arsenaux de Saïgon avaient pu nous fournir.\n\n## Début de l'excursion\n\nTrois jours après notre départ de Saïgon, les deux bâtiments mouillaient devant la résidence du protectorat français, à Phnom-Penh, capitale du royaume actuel du Cambodge. M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Moura, représentant de la France près du roi, avait reçu les instructions du gouverneur. Il nous reçut avec empressement et informa sur-le-champ le roi de notre arrivée.\n\nLe roi Norodom, malade des suites d'une chute de voiture, se fit excuser de ne pas recevoir officiellement toute la mission; cependant il voulut bien m'accorder une audience particulière. J'en profitai pour lui offrir une partie des cadeaux donnés par la direction des beaux-arts, et je lui expliquai que notre gouvernement, venant lui demander l'autorisation de prendre dans ses États des richesses artistiques auxquelles nous attachions du prix, laissait en échange des objets d'art français. Le roi, me remerciant, me dit que les ordres étaient donnés, et que nous trouverions dans ses États toutes les facilités possibles pour nos recherches.\n\n## Les ruines khmères\n\nLes ruines khmères, que nous allions visiter, sont disséminées sur un grand nombre de points du territoire de l'ancien Cambodge compris entre le 10e et le 14e degré de latitude nord, et le 100e et le 105e degré de longitude est. Par leur nombre, leur importance et la perfection de leur exécution, elles dénotent l'existence d'une civilisation puissante, de grande durée, et d'un art extrêmement remarquable.\n\nEn partie détruits par des guerres, abandonnés depuis plusieurs siècles, presque tous les monuments khmers sont aujourd'hui dans le plus complet délabrement. Leurs abords sont désertés, ignorés et souvent redoutés par les indigènes à qui elles inspirent une terreur superstitieuse. Partout une végétation puissante les envahit, et c'est à la hache à la main qu'il faut tenter de pénétrer jusqu'à leurs sanctuaires.\n\nGrâce au concours empressé de M. Moura, nous pûmes dès le lendemain nous mettre en route, munis de trois interprètes indigènes, et accompagnés d'un mandarin de la cour porteur de lettres du roi pour les mandarins avec lesquels nous devions nous trouver en relations pendant nos excursions.\n\n## Exploration des ruines\n\nLe premier Européen qui les ait signalées à nos jours fut Henri Mouhot, naturaliste français, mort peu de temps après en continuant sa périlleuse exploration de l'Indo-Chine. L'année suivante, le commandant de Lagrée, alors résident français au Cambodge, visita de nouveau les ruines de Battambang et d'Angcor, vues par Mouhot, en décomposa de nouvelles, les étudia et s'efforça de rassembler les documents indigènes capables de servir à reconstituer leur histoire.\n\nUne grande partie du Cambodge est encore explorée et les notions géographiques que nous possédons sur ce pays sont fort incomplètes. M. Moura avait bien voulu nous communiquer une carte qu'il avait récemment dressée d'après ses itinéraires particuliers et les renseignements qu'il avait recueillis près des indigènes. Ces nouvelles indications me permirent de fixer ainsi le plan de notre excursion : nous allions explorer d'abord les nombreuses et importantes ruines des provinces cambodgiennes de Compong-Soai, de Stang et de Siem-reap; de là, nous nous rendrions à Angcor-Tom, à Angcor-Wat et aux environs; si nous en avions le temps, nous irions reconnaître d'autres antiquités khmères signalées dans le nord, et nous ferions à notre retour une courte excursion aux ruines de la province de Battambang.\n\n## Prensat Prathcol\n\nAprès avoir remonté le cours d'eau, pendant deux jours, nous parvînmes à un misérable hameau situé sur l'emplacement de la ville de Compong-Thom, détruite dans une guerre civile récente, et là nous apprîmes que nous ne trouverions dans le voisinage aucun centre de population assez important pour nous fournir les moyens de transport dont nous avions besoin. La seule ville possédant quelques ressources était Stung, chef-lieu de la province du même nom, également située sur les bords d'une grande rivière, et à proximité des ruines.\n\nMuni de ces nouveaux renseignements, j'envoyai prévenir le Thoméa Dechu, haut fonctionnaire alors en mission à Stang, de notre prochaine arrivée, et comme M. l'ingénieur Bouillet avait commencé un levé du cours de la rivière, je prolongeai notre halte de deux jours.\n\nPrensat Prathcol consiste en une enceinte rectangulaire avec portes monumentales ornées de statues de géants et de grands lions. La porte de la face orientale, plus importante que les autres, fait partie d'un édifice complet. Elle est précédée d'une chaussée garnie de balustrades formées par de longs dragons à sept têtes ou de nâgas ou grands bassins à marches de pierre.\n\nAu centre de l'enceinte et à l'extrémité d'une allée intérieure qui fait suite à la chaussée de l'est, s'élève une haute tour. Sa base est en forme de croix grecque avec quatre portes précédées de piliers formant péristyles et supportant des entablements surmontés de frontons avec tympans couverts de bas-reliefs.\n\nCe qui reste de la tour en partie détruite est couvert de sculptures fines, élégantes, et dont l'assemblage ornant le monument sans rompre ses lignes principales, est d'un remarquable effet décoratif.\n\n## Description détaillée de Prensat Prathcol\n\nLe long du soubassement règne un cercle de statues à genoux, les mains jointes. Plus haut, chaque pilastre est orné d'une femme demi-nue tenant une fleur à la main et debout dans une sorte de niche ogivale qu'entourent de fines arabesques. Sur chacune des surfaces courbes qui s'étendent d'une porte à l'autre, on voit, à droite et à gauche, deux groupes symétriques composés de saints et de têtes de dansesuses, et au milieu trois éléphants qui semblent sortir de la muraille, leurs trompes, gracieusement recourbées, se roulent autour de lianes et de branches chargées de feuillages.\n\nLe sommet de ces têtes supporte un entablement orné de moulures sculptées et faisant le tour du monument en reposant aussi sur les chapiteaux des pilastres des portes et des piliers des péristyles. Un énorme oiseau, le corps de femme, la tête couverte d'un diadème et les ailes déployées, se dresse au-dessus de l'éléphant du milieu entre ses pattes. Il paraît un monstre et le long de ses ailes pendent des dragons à plusieurs têtes. De ses griffes relevées en cariatide, il soutient un entablement nouveau. Trois oiseaux fantastiques et plus haut, le second étage, et plus haut encore, le troisième, portent l'entablement supérieur.\n\n## Suite de l'exploration\n\nDeux jours après notre départ de Compong-Thom, nous nous engageâmes de nouveau dans un des nombreux cours d'eau tributaires des lacs. Au bout de trois heures de navigation, une grande percée parut dans la forêt; la rivière se dégagea, et par un beau canal de cent mètres de largeur, nous pénétrâmes d'une façon tout à fait inattendue dans un lac inconnu jusqu'à ce jour.\n\nDeux longues journées d'une navigation extrêmement pénible nous conduisirent à un pauvre hameau près duquel nous laissâmes la canonnière. Nous nous embarquâmes avec notre matériel de campagne à bord de la chaloupe, et au bout de quelques heures nous atteignîmes enfin la ville de Stung.\n\n## Arrivée à Stung et suite du voyage\n\nLe Thoméa Dechu nous reçut avec les démonstrations les plus amicales et nous lui fîmes quelques cadeaux. D'après ses conseils, nous nous décidâmes à quitter la rivière et à continuer notre route par terre; et comme les chars dont nous avions besoin avaient été déjà réunis par ses soins, nous pûmes partir dès le lendemain.\n\nAprès avoir marché pendant quatre jours, parfois au milieu de rivières et de plaines inondées, le plus souvent en forêt, sans routes tracées, nous atteignîmes le petit village de Pracan, situé au milieu d'un groupe de ruines, dans lequel nous allions pouvoir commencer nos opérations.\n\n## Ponteay Pracan, Preasat Prathcol, Preasat Prea Tomrey\n\nLa mission s'installa dans un grand campement construit près du village, et tandis que les mandarins envoyés par le Thoméa Dechu s'occupaient à grand'peine de réunir dans ce pays presque désert les indigènes qui nous étaient nécessaires, nous entreprîmes la reconnaissance préparatoire des ruines.\n\nNotre première visite fut pour la grande et belle résidence de Ponteay Pracan, déjà explorée par le commandant de Lagrée. Nous visitâmes ensuite un monument jusqu'alors inconnu des Européens et appelé par les indigènes Preasat Prathcol. Cette découverte était précieuse, car la grande tour qui occupe le centre de cet édifice et qui en constitue la partie principale, est une des œuvres les plus remarquables de l'architecture khmère.\n\nDes nombreuses statues, des dragons qui ornaient Preasat Prathcol, il ne reste plus que des débris enfouis sous les décombres de la forêt. Nous avons réussi à extraire d'une fouille faite à la porte de l'Est, une remarquable statue à...",

Il est un point important cependant, sur lequel nous devons encore nous arrêter : c'est la convention spéciale qui réglera les rapports commerciaux.\n\nVotre commission eût vivement désiré que le traité de commerce lui eût été soumis en même temps que le traité qui règle les rapports politiques entre l'Annam et la France; malheureusement, la nécessité d'envoyer des pouvoirs au nouveau gouverneur de la Cochinchine a retardé l'arrivée en France de cette convention, qui ne pourra vous être présentée qu'après la prorogation; mais dès aujourd'hui M. le ministre de la marine a bien voulu nous communiquer la teneur de l'article 1er, qui est ainsi conçu :\n\nOn a beaucoup parlé du climat insalubre de la Cochinchine; qu'il nous soit permis de mettre un peu en garde contre les exagérations qui pourraient se produire à ce sujet. Et tout d'abord, ne sait-on pas que toute colonie nouvelle doit forcément payer un large tribut? Demandez à l'Angleterre ce que lui a coûté Calcutta; demandez à la Hollande ce que lui a coûté Batavia; demandez, si vous le voulez, à l'Algérie ce que lui a coûté la Mitidja; mais quand donc la crainte des maladies a-t-elle fait reculer les vaillants pionniers de la civilisation? D'ailleurs, la période la plus mauvaise est sans doute passée pour nous; notre établissement en Cochinchine date déjà de douze années, et à mesure que des casernes se sont élevées pour nos soldats, à mesure que des maisons confortables ont été construites par nos colons, l'assainissement s'est fait et il ne peut à coup sûr que progresser chaque jour.\n\n**Art. 1.** Conformément aux stipulations de l'article 11 du 15 mars, le roi d'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Naï dans la province de Binh-Dinh, de Ninh-Hai dans la province de Hai-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Hà, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière chinoise.\n\nAjoutons enfin, que l'un des avantages du traité sera précisément de nous donner la possibilité de créer au Tonkin un établissement sanitaire où nos malades de Cochinchine, qui ne sont la plupart du temps qu'anémiés, viendront reprendre des forces sous une latitude plus élevée.\n\nLe second point important du traité est celui qui donne à la religion chrétienne des garanties sérieuses pour son libre exercice et pour son développement.\n\nSur cette terre arrosée, hier encore, du sang de tant de martyrs, où l'on compte aujourd'hui huit évêques, environ quatre cents missionnaires et prêtres et plus de cinq cent mille chrétiens, il sera enfin permis à nos coreligionnaires de professer leur foi sans avoir à redouter les plus épouvantables supplices. En retour, la sagesse de nos évêques et de nos missionnaires nous est un sûr garant qu'ils prendront soin de veiller à ce que les populations chrétiennes se montrent les plus soumises et les plus respectueuses de l'autorité du souverain de l'Annam.\n\nUn troisième point du traité est celui qui ouvre au commerce de toutes les nations un port dans la Cochinchine occidentale, un port dans le Tonkin, et qui assure le libre transit par le fleuve du Nhi-Hà (Shaungkoï), depuis la mer jusqu'au Yunnan.\n\nLa France, après avoir, de concert avec l'Angleterre, ouvert de nouveaux ports de la Chine au commerce européen, vient donc de poursuivre son œuvre de civilisation et de progrès, en obtenant l'ouverture des ports de l'Annam. Ce royaume sera du reste le premier à retirer des fruits de sa concession; car partout où le commerce européen pénètre, il apporte avec lui la tranquillité et le respect des propriétés comme celui des transactions. Le sud du Tonkin verra bientôt disparaître ces bandes d'insurgés qui y entretenaient un état de désordre permanent.\n\nNos navires protecteurs en auront bientôt fini avec cette flotte de pirates qui, depuis un temps immémorial, exerce des ravages sur les côtes, empêchant toute sortie de navires, tout commerce et jusqu'à la pêche dont les populations du littoral vivent en grande partie; débarquant des hordes de bandits qui pénètrent dans l'intérieur et se livrent à des pillages de toute espèce, enlevant les hommes pour les livrer aux racoleurs de coolies, vendant les femmes pour remplir les maisons de débauche de la Chine.\n\nLà où régnait la plus odieuse barbarie va régner désormais, sous l'abri de notre pavillon, l'activité commerciale, l'ordre et la prospérité. Déjà, sous la protection d'un simple poste que nous avons conservé à Haï-phuong, à l'embouchure du fleuve du Tonkin, un immense marché se tient tous les cinq jours, où les populations apportent des denrées et des objets d'échange de toute sorte.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, les avantages du traité qui vous est proposé nous assurent cet avantage d'avoir à l'avenir auprès du roi Tu-Duc un chargé d'affaires dont l'action conciliatrice fera certainement disparaître les malentendus ou les dissentiments qui pourraient s'élever entre nos nationaux ou nos coreligionnaires et les agents du gouvernement annamite.\n\nQuant à l'Espagne, qui, ayant une injure à venger, avait été notre alliée en Cochinchine, \n\n## 20 Août 1874\n\n... ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles.\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nqu'à que toute crainte à ce sujet soit dissipée par la loyale exécution du traité.\n\n295\n\n## 6005\n\nLe rang de cet envoyé, les honneurs et prérogatives auxquels il aura droit, seront ultérieurement réglés d'un commun accord et sur le pied d'une parfaite réciprocité entre les hautes parties contractantes.\n\nCet engagement politique ne s'étend pas aux traités de commerce. Mais, dans aucun cas, le gouvernement de Sa Majesté le roi de l'Annam ne pourra faire avec une nation, quelle qu'elle soit, de traité de commerce en désaccord avec celui conclu entre la France et le royaume d'Annam, et sans en avoir préalablement informé le Gouvernement français.\n\n**Art. 4.** Son Excellence le Président de la République française s'engage à faire détruire les registres et le dénombrement des chrétiens faits depuis...\n\nDo\n- cent canons de sept à seize centimètres de diamètre approvisionnés à deux cents coups par pièce;\n- mille cartouches.\n- De mille fusils à tabatière et de cinq...\n\nCes bâtiments et armes seront rendus en Cochinchine et livrés dans le délai maximum d'un an, à partir de la date de l'échange des ratifications.\n\n1° De cinq bâtiments à vapeur d'une force de cinq cents chevaux, et parait équipés, conformément aux prescriptions d'armement;\n \n... les articles du Thap Dieu dans lesquels des termes injurieux pour la religion sont employés.\n\nLes évêques et missionnaires pourront librement entrer dans le royaume et circuler dans leurs diocèses avec un passeport du gouverneur de la Cochinchine visé par le ministre des rites. Ils pourront en tous lieux prêcher la doctrine catholique. Ils ne seront soumis à aucune surveillance particulière, et les villages ne seront plus tenus de déclarer aux mandarins ni leur arrivée, ni leur présence, ni leur départ.\n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République française promet en outre de mettre à la disposition du roi des instructeurs militaires et des officiers de marine en nombre suffisant pour reconstituer l'armée et sa flotte; des ingénieurs et d'ateliers capables de diriger les travaux du génie; des hommes experts en matière de finances pour organiser le service des impôts et des douanes dans le royaume; des professeurs pour fonder un collège à Hué.\n\nLes prêtres annamites exerceront librement, comme les missionnaires, leur ministère. Si par leur faute une punition est répréhensible et si, aux termes de la loi, cette punition est passible du bâton ou du rotin, cette peine sera généralement commuée en une punition équivalente.\n\nIl sera assigné un lot de terrain de cent mètres d'étendue aux tombes de la famille Pham; un lot d'égale étendue à celles de la famille Hô.\n\nLes autres articles règlent les questions de douane, les droits de phare et d'ancrage, les frais de pilotage, etc.\n\nEn résumé, les stipulations du traité actuel auront pour effet d'établir entre les deux peuples un régime stable, sous lequel les liens d'amitié entre la France et l'Annam iront certainement en se resserrant chaque jour; aussi votre commission, après avoir appelé dans son sein M. le ministre de la marine et M. l'amiral Dupré, et avoir obtenu de l'honorable amiral de Montaignac et de l'énergique gouverneur de la Cochinchine les explications les plus complètes et les plus satisfaisantes, est-elle unanime à vous proposer l'adoption d'un traité également avantageux aux deux parties contractantes, et qui ajoute une nouvelle page au livre des conquêtes de la civilisation.\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\n**Article unique.** - Le Président de la République française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le traité conclu à Saïgon, le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam.\n\nUne copie authentique de ce traité sera annexée à la présente loi.\n\n## TRAITÉ\n\nS.

Nous venons, en conséquence, prier l'Assemblée de nous autoriser à en échanger les ratifications avec la Cour d'Annam. \n\nProjet de Loi. \n\nArticle Unique.-Le Président de la République Française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le Traité de Commerce conclu à Saigon, le 31 Août, 1874, entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. \n\nUne copie authentique de ce Traité sera annexée à la présente Loi. \n\nTraité de Commerce. \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française et Sa Majesté le Roi d'Annam, animés du désir de resserrer les liens qui unissent les deux nations et d'augmenter leur prospérité par la facilité donnée au commerce, ont nommé, dans ce but, pour leurs Plénipotentiaires, savoir :---- \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française, le Contre-Amiral Krantz, Commandant-en-chef la Division Navale des mers de Chine et du Japon, Gouverneur par intérim et Commandant-en-chef en Cochinchine, Commandeur de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur, &c. ; \n\n73 \n\nSa Majesté le Roi de l'Annam, les hauts fonctionnaires, Nguyen, van Tu'o'ng, Ministre de la Justice, décoré du titre de Ki-vi-ba, Premier Ambassadeur; et Nguyễn Tàng Doàn, thi lang du Ministre de l'Intérieur, deuxième Ambassadeur; \n\nLesquels, après communication de leurs pouvoirs respectifs trouvés en bonne et due forme, sont convenus des Articles suivants :- \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nConformément aux stipulations de l'Article XI du Traité du 15 Mars, le Roi de l'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Nai, dans la province de Binh-Dinh de Ninh-Haï, dans la province de Haï-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Ha, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière Chinoise. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nDans les ports ouverts, le commerce sera libre, après l'acquittement d'une taxe de 5 pour cent de la valeur des marchandises à leur entrée ou à leur sortie. Ce droit sera de 10 pour cent sur le sel. \n\nCependant, les armes et les munitions de guerre ne pourront être ni importées ni exportées par le commerce. \n\nLe commerce de l'opium reste assujetti à sa règlementation spéciale établie par le Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nL'importation des grains sera toujours permise moyennant un droit de 5 pour cent. \n\nL'exportation des grains ne pourra avoir lieu qu'en vertu d'une autorisation temporaire du Gouvernement de l'Annam, autorisation dont il sera donné connaisance au résident Français à Hué. Les grains seront, dans ce cas, frappés d'un droit de sortie de 10 pour cent. \n\nL'importation de la soie et du go-liem sera toujours permise, \n\nL'exportation de la soie et du bois dit \"go-liem\" ne sera permise chaque année qu'après que les villages qui payent leurs impôts avec ces deux denrées auront totalement acquitté cet impôt en nature, et que le Gouvernement Annamite en aura acheté les quantités indispensables à son propre usage. \n\nLe tarif d'entrée ou de sortie sur ces matières sera, comme pour toutes les autres marchandises, de 5 pour cent. \n\nLorsque le Gouvernement Annamite aura l'intention de profiter de ce droit de suspendre l'exportation de la soie et du bois \"go-liem,\" il en préviendra, au moins un mois à l'avance, le résident Français à Hué; il lui fera également connaître un mois à l'avance l'époque à laquelle l'exportation de ces denrées redeviendra libre. \n\nToutes les interdictions, à l'exception de celle qui concerne les armes et les munitions qui ne peuvent être transportées sans une autorisation spéciale du Gouvernement Annamite, ne s'appliquent pas aux marchandises en transit pour le Yunnan ou venant du Yunnan; mais le Gouvernement Annamite pourra prendre des mesures de précaution pour empêcher que les objets prohibés soient débarqués sur son territoire. \n\nLes marchandises transitant par le Yunnan n'acquitteront le droit de Douane qu'à leur entrée sur le territoire Annamite, qu'elles y arrivent par mer ou par la frontière de Chine (province du Yunnan). \n\nAucun autre droit accessoire ou supplémentaire ne pourra être établi sur les marchandises régulièrement introduites à leur passage d'une province ou d'une ville à une autre. \n\nIl est entendu que les marchandises importées ou exportées par des bâtiments Chinois ou appartenant à l'Annam seront soumises aux mêmes interdictions, et que celles importées ou exportées sous pavillon Chinois seront soumises aux mêmes droits que les marchandises importées ou exportées sous pavillon Européen ou Américain (ce que l'on entend dans ces deux Traités, par pavillon étranger), mais ces droits seront perçus séparément par les Mandarins Annamites du service de la Douane et versés dans une caisse spéciale, à l'entière disposition du Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nLes droits de phare et d'ancrage sont fixés à trois dixièmes de taël par tonneau de jauge pour les navires entrant et sortant avec un chargement, et à quinze centièmes de taël par tonneau pour les navires entrant sur lest et sortant chargés, ou entrant chargés et sortant sur lest. \n\nU \n\n[81] \n\n358",

Ces étalons seront la base de toutes les liquidations de droits et de payements à faire. On y aura recours en cas de contestation sur le poids et la mesure des marchandises, et il sera statué d'après les résultats qu'il auront donnés. \n\nARTICLE XXIV. \n\nToute marchandise introduite ou exportée en contrebande, par des navires ou par des négociants étrangers dans les ports, quelles que soient d'ailleurs sa valeur et sa nature, comme aussi toute denrée prohibée débarquée frauduleusement, sera saisie par l'autorité locale et confisquée. En outre, le Gouvernement Annamite pourra, si bon lui semble, interdire l'entrée de ses ports au bâtiment surpris en contravention et le contraindre à partir aussitôt après l'apuration de ses comptes. Si quelque navire étranger se couvrait frauduleusement d'un pavillon qui ne serait pas le sien, l'autorité Française prendrait les mesures nécessaires pour la répression de cet abus. \n\nLa totalité des sommes provenant de la vente des objets confisqués sera versée à la caisse de la Douane. Le produit des amendes pour contravention aux règlements des douanes, dans les ports ouverts, sera également versé à cette caisse. \n\nARTICLE XXV. \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française pourra faire stationner un bâtiment de guerre dans les ports ouverts de l'Empire où sa présence sera jugée nécessaire pour maintenir le bon ordre et la discipline parmi les équipages des navires marchands et faciliter l'exercice de l'autorité Consulaire. Toutes les mesures nécessaires seront prises pour que la présence de ces navires de guerre n'entraîne aucun inconvénient. Les bâtiments de guerre ne seront assujettis à aucun droit. \n\nARTICLE XXVI. \n\nTout bâtiment de guerre Français croisant pour la protection du commerce sera reçu en ami et traité comme tel dans tous les ports de l'Annam où il se présentera. Ces bâtiments pourront s'y procurer les divers objets de rechange et de ravitaillement dont ils auraient besoin, et s'ils ont fait des avaries, les réparer et acheter dans ce but les matériaux nécessaires, le tout sans la moindre opposition. \n\nIl en sera de même à l'égard des navires de commerce Français ou étrangers qui, par suite d'avaries majeures ou pour toute autre cause, seraient contraints de chercher refuge dans un port quelconque de l'Annam. Mais ces navires devront également n'y séjourner que momentanément; et aussitôt que la cause de leur relâche aura cessé, ils devront appareiller sans pouvoir y prolonger leur séjour et sans pouvoir y commercer. \n\nSi quelqu'un de ces bâtiments venait à se perdre sur la côte, l'autorité la plus proche, dès qu'elle en serait informée, porterait sur-le-champ assistance à l'équipage, pourvoirait à ses premiers besoins, et prendrait les mesures d'urgence nécessaires pour le sauvetage du navire et la préservation des marchandises. Puis elle porterait le tout à la connaissance du Consul ou Agent Consulaire le plus à portée du sinistre, pour que celui-ci, de concert avec l'autorité compétente, pût aviser aux moyens de rapatrier l'équipage et de sauver les débris du navire et de la cargaison. \n\nLe port de Thuan-an, à cause de sa situation dans une rivière qui conduit à la capitale et de sa proximité de cette capitale, fera exception, et aucun bâtiment étranger de guerre ou de commerce ne pourra y pénétrer. \n\nCependant, si un bâtiment de guerre Français était chargé d'une mission pressée pour le Gouvernement de Hué ou pour le résident Français, il pourrait franchir la barre après en avoir demandé et obtenu l'autorisation expresse du Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nARTICLE XXVII. \n\nLes navires de commerce Annamites qui se rendront dans tous les ports de France \n\n79 \n\nou des six Provinces Françaises de la Basse-Cochinchine pour y commercer, y seront traités au point de vue des droits de toute nature comme la nation la plus favorisée. \n\nARTICLE XXVIII. \n\nLe Gouvernement Français renouvelle la promesse faite au Gouvernement Annamite à l'Article II du Traité du 15 Mars, de faire tous ses efforts pour détruire les pirates de terre et de mer, particulièrement dans le voisinage des villes et ports ouverts au commerce Européen, de façon à rendre les opérations du commerce aussi sûres que possible. \n\nARTICLE XXIX. \n\nLa présente Convention aura la même force que le Traité du 15 Mars, 1874, auquel elle restera attachée; elle sera mise en vigueur aussitôt après l'échange des ratifications qui aura lieu en même temps que celui du Traité du 15 Mars, 1874, si c'est possible, et en tous les cas avant le 15 Mars, 1875, \n\nsceaux. \n\nEn foi de quoi les Plénipotentiaires respectifs l'ont signée et y ont apposé leurs \n\nFait à Saigon, au Palais du Gouvernement, en deux expéditions en chaque langue comparées et conformes entre elles, le 31 Août, 1874. \n\n(Signé) KRANTZ, &c., &c. \n\nAfin d'éviter des difficultés dans l'interprétation de quelques passages des nouveaux Traités, les Plénipotentiaires des deux Hautes Parties Contractantes sont convenus d'ajouter au présent Traité un Article Additionnel, qui sera considéré comme en faisant partie intégrante, \n\nARTICLE ADDITIONNEL. \n\nIl est entendu que la ville même de Hanoï est ouverte au commerce étranger, et qu'il y aura dans cette ville un Consul avec son escorte, une douane, et que les Européens pourront y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation aussi bien qu'à Ninh-Haï et à Thi Nai. \n\nSi par la suite on reconnaissait que la Douane de Hanoï est inutile et que celle de Ninh-Hai suffit, la Douane de Hanoi pourrait être supprimée; mais il y aurait toujours dans cette ville un Consul et son escorte, et les Européens continueraient à y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation. \n\nLes terrains nécessaires pour bâtir les habitations des Consuls et de leurs escortes seront cédés gratuitement au Gouvernement Français par le Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nL'étendue de ces terrains sera dans chacune de villes ou ports ouverts de cinq maus, mesure Annamite (environ deux hectares et demi). Les terrains nécessaires aux Européens pour élever leurs maisons d'habitation ou leurs magasins seront achetés par eux aux propriétaires; les Consuls et les autorités Annamites interviendront dans ces achats, de façon à ce que tout se passe avec équité. Les magasins et les habitations des commerçants seront aussi rapprochés que possible de la demeure des Consuls. \n\nA Ninh-Haï le Consul et son escorte continueront à occuper les forts tant que cela sera jugé nécessaire pour assurer la police et la sécurité du commerce. Il habitera plus tard sur le terrain de cinq maus qui lui aura été concédé. \n\nOn respectera les pagodes et les sépultures, et les Européens ne pourront acheter les terrains sur lesquels il existe des habitations qu'avec le consentement des propriétaires et en payant une juste indemnité. \n\nLes commerçants Européens payeront l'impôt foncier d'après les tarifs en usage dans la localité où ils habiteront, mais ils ne payeront aucun autre impôt. \n\nA Saïgon, le 31 Août, 1874. \n\n(Signé) \n\nKRANTZ, &c., &c. \n\nConvention annexe au Traité de Commerce du 31 Août, 1874. \n\nLe Contre-Amiral Krantz, Commandant-en-chef la Division Navale des Mers de Chine et du Japon, Gouverneur par intérim et Commandant-en-chef en Cochinchine, Commandeur de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur, etc., muni des pleins pouvoirs de son Excellence le Président de la République Française ; \n\n301",

It mentions also the differential duties imposed in favour of the French Colony of Saigon.\n\nOn this latter point it seems difficult to add anything to what has been so often said on the subject in my previous despatches.

Les contraventions seront punies de la confiscation des armes au profit du gouvernement annamite et, en outre, d'une amende qui ne pourra excéder cinq cents piastres.\n\nSi un bâtiment a débarqué clandestinement des armes ou des munitions sur le territoire annamite, ces armes, si elles sont en petit nombre, seront confisquées et les contrevenants seront en outre punis d'une amende de cinq cents piastres au plus; mais si la quantité d'armes ou de munitions de guerre ainsi débarquée est considérable et constitue un danger, le bâtiment pourra être saisi et confisqué, ainsi que tout ou partie du chargement.\n\nLa confiscation d'un bâtiment européen ou américain ne pourra être prononcée que par les deux gouvernements.\n\nArt. 16. Les capitaines et négociants étrangers pourront louer telles espèces d'allèges et d'embarcations qu'il leur plaira pour transporter des marchandises et des passagers, et la rétribution à payer pour ces allèges, sera réglée de gré à gré par les parties intéressées, sans l'intervention de l'autorité annamite, et par conséquent sans sa garantie, en cas d'accident, de fraude et de disparition des dits allèges. Le nombre n'en sera pas limité et le monopole n'en pourra être concédé à qui que ce soit, non plus que celui de transport par portefaix, des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer.\n\nArt. 17. Toutes les fois qu'un négociant étranger aura des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer, il devra d'abord remettre la note détaillée au consul ou agent consulaire qui en donnera communication au chef de la douane. Celui-ci délivrera sur-le-champ un permis d'embarquement ou de débarquement. Il sera alors procédé à la vérification des marchandises, dans la forme la plus convenable pour qu'il n'y ait chance de perte pour aucune des parties.\n\nLe négociant devra se faire représenter sur le lieu de la vérification (s'il ne préfère y assister lui-même), par une personne réunissant les qualités requises, à l'effet de veiller à ses intérêts au moment où il sera procédé à cette vérification pour la liquidation des droits; faute de quoi, toute réclamation ultérieure restera nulle et non avenue.\n\nLes marchandises qui auraient éprouvé des avaries jouiront d'une réduction de droits proportionnée à leur dépréciation. Celle-ci sera déterminée équitablement et s'il le faut, par expertise contradictoire, ainsi qu'il a été stipulé plus haut.\n\nArt. 18. Tout bâtiment entré dans l'un des ports ouverts de l'Annam, et qui n'a point encore levé le permis de débarquement mentionné dans l'article précédent, pourra, dans les deux jours de son arrivée, quitter le port et se rendre dans un autre port, sans avoir à payer ni droits d'ancrage, ni droits de douane, attendu qu'il les acquittera ultérieurement dans le port où il effectuera la route de ses marchandises.\n\nArt. 19. Les droits d'importation seront acquittés par les capitaines ou négociants au fur et à mesure du débarquement des marchandises et après leur vérification. Les droits d'exportation le seront de la même manière lors de l'embarquement. Lorsque les droits de tonnage et de douane dus par un bâtiment étranger auront été intégralement acquittés, le chef de la douane délivrera une quittance générale, sur exhibition de laquelle le consul rendra ses papiers de bord au capitaine et lui permettra de partir.\n\nToutefois, si le capitaine y consent, il sera loisible à l'administration des douanes (afin de faciliter les opérations du commerce) de percevoir les droits d'après les papiers de bord sans qu'on soit obligé de décharger les marchandises pour en constater la valeur et la quantité.\n\nArt. 20. Après l'expiration des deux jours mentionnés dans l'article 18 et avant de procéder au déchargement, chaque bâtiment de commerce acquittera intégralement les droits de phare et d'ancrage fixés par l'article 3. Aucun droit, rétribution ou surcharge ne pourra être exigé sous aucun prétexte.\n\nLors du payement du droit précité, le chef de la douane délivrera au capitaine ou au consignataire un reçu en forme de certificat constatant que les droits de phare et d'ancrage ont été intégralement acquittés et, sur l'exhibition de ce certificat au chef de la douane de tout autre port où il lui conviendrait de se rendre, le capitaine sera dispensé de payer de nouveau ces droits pour son bâtiment, tout navire étranger ne devant être passible qu'une seule fois de tels droits à chacun de ses voyages d'un pays étranger en Annam.\n\n7 Août 1874\n\nen usage dans l'Annam et revêtus d'une estampille et d'un cachet constatant cette conformité. Ces étalons seront la base de toutes les liquidations de droits et de paiements à faire. On y aura recours en cas de contestation sur le poids et la mesure des marchandises, et il sera statué d'après les résultats qu'ils auront donnés.\n\nArt. 24. Toute marchandise introduite ou exportée en contrebande, par des navires ou par des négociants étrangers dans les ports, quelles qu'en soient d'ailleurs sa valeur et sa nature, comme aussi toute denrée prohibée débarquée frauduleusement, sera saisie par l'autorité locale et confisquée. En outre, le gouvernement annamite pourra, si bon lui semble, interdire l'entrée de ses ports au bâtiment surpris en contravention et le contraindre à partir aussitôt après l'apurement de ses comptes. Si quelque navire étranger se couvrait frauduleusement d'un pavillon qui ne serait pas le sien, l'autorité française prendrait les mesures nécessaires pour la répression de cet abus.\n\nLa totalité des sommes provenant de la vente des objets confisqués sera versée à la caisse de la douane. Le produit des amendes pour contravention aux règlements des douanes, dans les ports ouverts, sera également versé à cette caisse.\n\nArt. 25. Son Excellence le Président de la République française pourra faire stationner un bâtiment de guerre dans les ports ouverts à l'empire où sa présence sera jugée nécessaire pour maintenir le bon ordre et la discipline parmi les équipages des navires marchands et à faciliter l'exercice de l'autorité consulaire. Toutes les mesures nécessaires seront prises pour que la présence de ces navires de guerre n'entraîne aucun inconvénient. Les bâtiments de guerre seront assujettis à aucun droit.\n\nArt. 26. Tout bâtiment de guerre français croisant pour la protection du commerce sera reçu en ami et traité comme tel dans tous les ports de l'Annam où il se présentera. Ces bâtiments pourront s'y procurer les divers objets de rechange et de ravitaillement dont ils auront besoin, et s'ils ont fait des avaries, les réparer ou acheter dans ce but les matériaux nécessaires, le tout sans la moindre opposition.\n\nIl en sera de même à l'égard des navires de commerce français ou étrangers qui, par suite d'avaries majeures ou pour toute autre cause, seraient contraints de chercher refuge dans un port quelconque de l'Annam. Mais ces navires devront également n'y séjourner que momentanément et aussitôt que la cause de leur relâche aura cessé, ils devront appareiller sans pouvoir y prolonger leur séjour et sans pouvoir y commercer.\n\nSi quelqu'un de ces bâtiments venait à faire naufrage sur la côte, l'autorité la plus proche, par qui elle en serait informée, porterait sur-le-champ assistance à l'équipage, pourvoirait à ses premiers besoins et prendrait les mesures d'urgence nécessaires pour le sauvetage du navire et de la cargaison.\n\nLe port de Thuan-an, à cause de sa situation dans une rivière qui conduit à la capitale et de sa proximité de cette capitale, fera exception; aucun bâtiment étranger de guerre ou de commerce ne pourra y pénétrer.\n\nToutefois, si un bâtiment de guerre français était chargé d'une mission pressée pour le gouvernement de Hué ou pour le résident français, il pourrait franchir la barre, après en avoir demandé et obtenu l'autorisation expresse du gouvernement annamite.\n\nArt. 27. Les navires de commerce annamites, qui se rendent dans tous les ports de France et des six provinces françaises de la Basse-Cochinchine pour y commercer, y seront traités à point de vue des droits de toute nature, comme la nation la plus favorisée.\n\nArt. 28. Le gouvernement français renouvellera la promesse faite au gouvernement annamite, à l'article 2 du traité du 15 mars, de faire tous ses efforts pour détruire les pirates de lo et de mer, particulièrement dans le voisinage des villes et ports ouverts au commerce européen, de façon à rendre les opérations du commerce aussi sûres que possible.\n\nArt. 29. La présente convention a la même force que le traité du 15 mars 1874, auquel elle restera attachée; elle sera mise en vigueur aussitôt après l'échange des ratifications, qui aura lieu en même temps que celui du traité du 15 mars 1874, si c'est possible, et en tous les cas avant le 15 mars 1875.\n\nEn foi de quoi les plénipotentiaires respectifs l'ont signé et y ont opposé leurs sceaux.\n\nFaits à Saigon, au palais du gouvernement, en deux expéditions sur chaque rogue comparées et conformes entre elles, le trente et un août mil huit cent soixante-quatorze.\n\nSigné KRANTZ, etc., etc.\n\nAfin d'éviter les difficultés dans l'interprétation de quelques passages des nouveaux traités, les plénipotentiaires des deux hautes parties contractantes sont convenus d'ajouter au présent traité un article additionnel qui sera considéré comme en faisant partie intégrante.\n\nArticle additionnel.\n\nIl est entendu que la ville même de Hanoi est ouverte au commerce étranger et qu'il y aura dans cette ville un consul avec son escorte, une douane, et que les Européens pourront y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation aussi bien qu'à Ninh-Hai et Thi-Kai.\n\nSi par la suite on reconnaissait que la douane de Hanoi est inutile et que celle de Ninh-Hai suffit, la douane de Hanoi pourrait être supprimée, mais il y aurait toujours dans cette ville un consul et son escorte, et les Européens continueraient à y avoir des magasins et des maisons d'habitation.\n\nLes terrains nécessaires pour bâtir les habitations des consuls et de leurs escortes seront cédés gratuitement au gouvernement français par le gouvernement annamite.\n\nL'étendue de ces terrains sera dans chacune des villes ou ports ouverts de 5 mâu, mesure annamite (environ 2 hectares et demi). Les terrains nécessaires aux Européens pour élever leurs maisons d'habitation ou leurs magasins seront achetés par eux aux propriétaires; les consuls et les autorités annamites interviendront dans ces achats, de façon à ce que tout se passe avec équité. Les magasins et les habitations des commerçants seront aussi rapprochés que possible de la demeure des consuls.\n\nA Ninh-fat, le consul et son escorte continueront à occuper les forts, tant que cela sera jugé nécessaire pour assurer la police et la sécurité du commerce. Il habitera plus tard sur le terrain de 5 mâu qui lui aura été concédé.\n\nOn respectera les pagodes et les sépultures, et les Européens ne pourront acheter les terrains sur lesquels il existe des habitations qu'avec le consentement des propriétaires et en payant une juste indemnité.\n\nLes commerçants européens payeront l'impôt foncier d'après les tarifs en usage dans la localité où ils habiteront, mais ils ne payeront aucun autre impôt.\n\nFait à Saigon, le trente et un août mil huit cent soixante-quatorze.\n\nSigné KRATZ, etc., etc.\n\nConvention annexe au traité de commerce du 31 août 1874.\n\nLe contre-amiral Krantz, commandant en chef la division navale des mers de Chine et du Japon, gouverneur par intérim et commandant en chef en Cochinchine, commandeur de l'ordre national de la Légion d'honneur, etc., etc., muni des pleins pouvoirs de Son Excellence le Président de la République française;\n\nEt le haut fonctionnaire Nguyen Van Tuong, ministre de la justice, décoré du titre de Ki Ba,\n\nmuni des pleins pouvoirs de Sa Majesté le roi d'Annam, sont convenus d'apporter au traité de commerce, signé le 31 août 1874, les modifications suivantes:\n\nbâtiments chinois appartenant à l'Annam, seront soumises aux mêmes interdictions et aux mêmes droits que celles importées de l'étranger ou exportées à l'étranger sous tout autre pavillon; et que ces droits seront perçus par les mêmes employés et versés dans les mêmes caisses que ceux perçus sur les marchandises importées de l'étranger ou exportées à l'étranger sous les pavillons dits étrangers.\n\nLa présente convention sera rattachée au traité du 31 août 1874, lors de l'échange des actes de ratification et en fera partie intégrante.\n\nEn foi de quoi les plénipotentiaires ont signé aujourd'hui 23 novembre 1874, correspondant au 15 jour du 10 mois de la 27 année de Tu Duc.\n\nSigné Contre-amiral KRANTZ, etc., etc.\n\nAnnexe n° 3146. (Séance du 5 juillet.)\n\nRAPPORT SOMMAIRE fait au nom de la commission d'initiative parlementaire chargée d'examiner la proposition de loi de M. le comte de Doubet, ayant pour objet la création d'un nouveau puissant moyen de trésorerie nationale d'une valeur de milliard de francs, pour le service de nos finances et les besoins du public, par M. Carquet, membre de l'Assemblée nationale.\n\nNotre honorable collègue M. le comte de Doubet propose de retirer à la Banque de France la faculté d'abaisser la coupure de ses billets au-dessous de 50 francs, et de confier à l'État le droit et l'obligation de faire, avec du papier fiduciaire, le service de la monnaie.\n\nA ces effets, il serait émis, dans le délai de six mois et pour la somme de 1 milliard, des bons du Trésor spéciaux à coupures fixes de 20 francs, transmissibles au porteur et produisant, au moyen de coupons, un intérêt de 3 p. 100.\n\nDeux ans après leur émission, ils seraient remboursables en dix séries annuelles indiquées par le sort. Mais avant d'être admis au remboursement, les bons devraient, dans un délai de trois mois, servir à l'acquisition de rentes perpétuelles.\n\nseraient payables entre les mains des nouveaux porteurs pendant un second trimestre, passé lequel leur circulation serait prohibée.\n\ncombiné premier aperçu de ces ingénieuses combinaisons, votre commission a été tout d'abord, fâcheusement impressionnée par la perspective d'un nouvel emprunt, quel que soit son mode de réalisation, et surtout d'un emprunt dont l'absolue nécessité n'est pas prouvée et dont l'emploi n'est pas défini.\n\nIl lui a paru aussi qu'une proposition de cette nature, permise sans doute à l'initiative parlementaire, était naturellement réservée au ministre des finances, qui ayant la responsabilité de la gestion financière, doit se rendre compte avec précision des besoins actuels et prochains, des ressources de l'impôt et des possibilités de trésorerie. Le rôle des Assemblées est ordinairement d'être les gardiennes sévères du grand livre de la dette publique, et, par une fausse bien naturelle à leur mandat, de résister aux entraînements de certains gouvernements (il n'y a ici aucune allusion à l'époque actuelle) à dépenser sans nécessité dans le présent, au préjudice de l'avenir.\n\nCes considérations préliminaires ne sont point une fin de non-recevoir et ne devaient pas empêcher votre commission d'examiner les propositions inspirées à notre honorable collègue par son patriotisme, dans leurs rapports avec le Trésor, avec la Banque de France, avec l'intérêt général et celui des bons nouveaux.\n\nDes nécessités urgentes et transitoires obligent quelquefois le Trésor à recourir à des moyens exceptionnels; en règle générale, les ressources du Trésor doivent être puisées au sein même de la richesse publique, celle qui existe réellement, et dont l'État peut revendre une part à titre de participation aux frais généraux, de prime d'assurance et de tribut sique. En face de dépenses permanentes et tendant à s'accroître, il faut des recettes certaines, annuelles et croissantes que ne peuvent donner ni les expédients de trésorerie, ni les emprunts, surtout les emprunts à courte échéance et en dehors d'aventureux essais. Elles ne se trouvent que dans les impôts, dans ceux existants et leur plus-value due au développement de l'aisance générale et, au besoin, dans la création d'impôts nouveaux est la voie pénible mais sûre qu'a suivie jusque ce jour l'Assemblée nationale avec une persévérance guidée par son esprit pratique, elle se\n\nLedit paragraphe supprimé est remplacé par le texte suivant:",

Le bâtiment de l'Envoyé Français ou Espagnol mouillera dans le port de Tourane, et l'Envoyé ira de là à Hué par terre, où il sera reçu par le Roi d'Annam.\n\nARTICLE VII.\n\nLa paix étant faite, l'inimitié disparaît entièrement; c'est pourquoi l'Empereur des Français accorde une amnistie générale aux sujets, soit militaires, soit civils, du Royaume d'Annam, compromis dans la guerre, et leurs propriétés séquestrées leur seront rendues.\n\nLe Roi d'Annam accorde également une amnistie générale à ceux de ses sujets qui se sont soumis à l'autorité Française, et son amnistie s'étend sur eux et sur leurs familles.\n\nARTICLE VIII.\n\nLe Roi d'Annam devra payer à titre d'indemnité, dans un laps de dix ans la somme de 4,000,000 dollars. 400,000 dollars seront, en conséquence, remis chaque année au Représentant de l'Empereur des Français à Saigon. Cette somme est destinée à indemniser la France et l'Espagne de leurs dépenses de guerre. Les 100,000 ligatures déjà payées seront déduites de cette somme. Le Royaume d'Annam n'ayant pas de dollars, le dollar sera représenté par une valeur de soixante et douze centièmes de taël.\n\nARTICLE IX.\n\nSi quelque brigand, pirate ou fauteur de troubles, Annamite, commet quelque brigandage ou désordre sur le territoire Français, ou si quelque sujet Européen, coupable de quelque délit, s'enfuit sur le territoire Annamite, aussitôt que l'autorité Française aura donné connaissance du fait à l'autorité Annamite, celle-ci devra faire ses efforts pour s'emparer du coupable, afin de le livrer à l'autorité Française.\n\n3\n\nIl en sera de même en ce qui concerne les brigands, pirates ou fauteurs de troubles Annamites qui, après s'être rendus coupables de délits, s'enfuiraient sur le territoire Français.\n\nARTICLE X.\n\nLes habitants des trois provinces de Vinh-Long, d'An-Gian et de Ha-Tien pourront librement commercer dans les trois provinces Françaises, en se soumettant aux droits en vigueur; mais les convois de troupes, d'armes, de munitions ou de vivres entre les trois susdites provinces devront se faire exclusivement par mer.\n\npar\n\n Cependant l'Empereur des Français permet à ces convois d'entrer dans le Cambodge par la passe de Mitto dite Cua-Tieû, à la condition toutefois que les autorités Annamites en préviendront à l'avance le Représentant de l'Empereur, qui leur fera délivrer un laissez-passer. Si cette formalité était négligée, et qu'un convoi pareil entrât sans un permis, le dit convoi, et ce qui le compose, sera de bonne prise, et les objets saisis seront détruits.\n\nARTICLE XI.\n\nLa citadelle de Vinh-Long sera gardée jusqu'à nouvel ordre par les troupes Françaises, sans empêcher pourtant en aucune façon l'action des mandarins Annamites. Cette citadelle sera rendue au Roi d'Annam aussitôt qu'il aura mis fin à la rébellion qui existe aujourd'hui par ses ordres dans les provinces de Gia-Dinh et de Dinh-Tuong, et lorsque les chefs de ces rébellions seront partis et le pays tranquille et soumis comme il convient à un pays en paix.\n\nARTICLE XII.\n\nCe Traité étant conclu entre les trois nations, et les Ministres Plénipotentiaires des dites trois nations l'ayant signé et revêtu de leurs sceaux, ils en rendront compte, chacun à son Souverain; et, à partir d'aujourd'hui, jour de la signature, dans l'intervalle d'un an, les trois Souverains ayant examiné et ratifié le dit Traité, l'échange des ratifications aura lieu dans la capitale du Royaume d'Annam,\n\nEn foi de quoi, les Plénipotentiaires respectifs susnommés ont signé le présent Traité et y ont apposé leurs cachets.\n\nA.

Tous les Mandarins que nous aurions nommés seront maintenus en place et ne seront inquiétés en nulle façon.\n\nQue tous les Sous-Préfets et Baillés veillent à ce que rien ne trouble la tranquillité publique. Quant aux villages qui seraient incendiés, ou auraient subi quelque dommage, qu'ils attendent l'arrivée des nouveaux Mandarins qui rendront les chefs de canton responsables de ces désastres.\n\nQue les lettrés restent tranquilles chacun dans son village, et qu'ils ne s'avisent de se révolter. Que dans les marchés on continue à commercer comme auparavant et qu'il n'y ait de trouble nulle part.\n\npas\n\nAprès la publication de cet édit, si quelque bande ose encore inquiéter et piller le peuple, nous en tirerons un châtiment exemplaire.\n\nTelle est notre volonté.\n\nLe deuxième jour du deuxième mois de l'année “Lui dan.”\n\nInclosure 6.\n\nLieutenant Garnier's fourth Proclamation, issued after the Capture of Nam-dinlo, on the 10th December, 1873.\n\nLE Grand Mandarin Français, Envoyé Plénipotentiaire, Garnier, fait savoir à tous ce qui suit :\n\nIl y a déjà longtemps que la France et l'Annam sont unis par un Traité de Paix, et que les relations commerciales existent entre les deux royaumes. Le mois dernier je fus envoyé par l'Amiral ici au Tongking pour me concerter avec les Mandarins, et ouvrir un débouché au commerce de ce pays, c'était d'ailleurs l'intention du Roi lui-même. Notre unique but en nous rendant à Hanoi était donc de nous entendre avec les Mandarins, et de prendre soin des intérêts du peuple. Mais le grand Mandarin Nguyen Tri-phuong et les autres Mandarins de la province firent traîner les choses en longueur et nous tendirent toutes sortes d'embûches et des pièges pour amener notre ruine. Poussés à bout nous fûmes obligés de nous emparer de la citadelle. Après que la tranquillité eut été rétablie, j'avais l'intention de me rendre ici à Nam-dinlo pour voir les Mandarins de la province, et m'entendre avec eux au sujet de la liberté du commerce et de l'extermination des pirates et bandits de toute sorte; alors les populations auraient pu jouir de la paix. Mais lorsque nous sommes passés devant les forts de Phu-sa, de Thuy, et de Thanh Thuong, les soldats de ces forts ont, je ne sais pour quel motif, tenté de nous arrêter, ce qui nous a forcé à nous battre. Le désastre qui a suivi retombe donc tout entier sur les Mandarins de Nam-dinlo, qui ont été cause que nous nous sommes emparés de la citadelle. Nous vous l'expliquons pour vous tranquilliser.\n\nNous ordonnons à tous les notables Annamites et commerçants Chinois qui sont dans la ville, se rendre à la citadelle aujourd'hui à midi pour recevoir nos ordres; nous leur assurons qu'ils n'ont rien à craindre. Nous donnons trois jours à tous les Sous-Préfets (\"Quan phu\") et baillés (\"Quan huyen\") de la province pour faire leur soumission ou pour donner leur démission par la livraison de leur sceau; si non, nous les considérons comme ennemis, et les traiterons comme tels. Les Chefs et sous-Chefs de Canton (\"Cartong, photang\") et les Maires (\"Ly truong\") continueront à administrer en paix jusqu'à ce que nous leur ayons distribué de nouveaux cachets (sceaux), mais si quelqu'un d'entre eux se permet de vexer le peuple comme autrefois, nous le jugerons en conseil de guerre.\n\nQue chacun reste tranquille chez soi, s'il y a des rassemblements, si des malfaiteurs troublent la paix publique, soit sur terre soit sur eau, nous les ferons saisir et fusiller sur le champ.\n\nNous donnons trois jours aux bandes armées pour venir livrer leurs armes; ceux qui ne l'auront pas fait passeront en conseil de guerre. Que chacun attache la plus grande importance à nos ordres et observe nos prescriptions, car nous punirons les coupables d'une manière exemplaire, et personne ne pourra se plaindre de n'avoir pas été averti. Telle est notre Proclamation.\n\n21\n\nInclosure 7.\n\nConvention between France and Annam, signed February 6, 1874.\n\nLE Grand Mandarin du noble Royaume d'Annam, Assesseur au Ministère des Cultes, Nguyen Vun-tuong, Second Ambassadeur Plénipotentiaire délégué spécialement pour terminer les affaires du Tongking au nom de l'Annam, d'une part;\n\nEt le Grand Mandarin du noble Royaume de France Philastre, Inspecteur des Affaires Indigènes en Cochin-Chine Français, envoyé par le Gouverneur, avec pleins pouvoirs pour arranger les affaires au Tongking au nom de son Gouvernement, d'autre part;\n\nAprès s'être communiqué leurs pouvoirs et en avoir constaté la valeur, ont arrêté les Articles suivants :-\n\nARTICLE I.\n\nIl n'existe plus de sujet de discussion entre les deux Royaumes, qui se sont réconciliés, c'est pourquoi les grands Mandarins surnommés s'engagent à observer ce qui suit.\n\nARTICLE II.\n\nLes soldats Français évacueront la citadelle de Hanoi, la remettront au pouvoir des Mandarins Annamites et se retireront à Cua-cam, dans le fort de Haiphong. Les Mandarins Annamites prépareront donc de suite un local pour que la garnison Française puisse s'y établir provisoirement, jusqu'à ce que l'on ait signé le Traité définitif. Les Français s'établissent à Haiphong afin de protéger le Royaume Annamite contre ceux qui voudraient pénétrer dans l'intérieur du pays contraire aux lois du Royaume, et pour forcer les navires du certain Dupuis à demeurer au port jusqu'à la conclusion du Traité au cas qu'il y ait une stipulation autorisant les Européens à venir faire le commerce au Tongking.\n\nARTICLE III.\n\nLe jour où les soldats Français évacueront la citadelle celle-ci sera livrée avec tous les effets et munitions qui s'y trouveront à cette époque; en outre tout l'argent que l'on s'est procuré dans les Provinces de Haidzong, Nam dinlo, Ninlo binlo, et Hanoi sera rendu aux Mandarins Annamites, qui en donneront reçu.\n\nARTICLE IV.\n\nLa garnison Française évacuera la citadelle et la remettra aux autorités Annamites, dès que le local de Haiphong sera prêt. Lorsque les Mandarins auront donné avis officiellement que tout est prêt on ne pourra différer l'évacuation au delà de six jours.\n\nARTICLE V.\n\nLe 29 de la 11° Lune (17th January), le noble Souverain du Royaume d'Annam a publié un édit accordant grâce à tous ceux qui ont pris le parti de la France, c'est pourquoi les Mandarins ne devront pas poursuivre, mais les protéger contre ceux qui voudraient les nuire. Quant aux Mandarins nommés par les Français ils seront maintenus en place s'ils sont reconnus capables, si non ils seront renvoyés chez eux, car s'ils remplissent mal leur charge ce serait au détriment du Royaume; car les officiers Français ont plusieurs fois répété dans leurs proclamations que s'ils administraient les provinces c'étaient seulement en l'absence des Mandarins légitimes, et dans l'intérêt du Gouvernement Annamite. Quand nous aurons fait savoir partout que les deux Royaumes ont conclu la paix et qu'il faut cesser toutes hostilités, si quelqu'un ne se soumet pas, et commet des injustices, par exemple en incendiant des villages, le Gouvernement Annamite devra réprimer et punir les coupables; de plus, ceux qui auront souffert des dommages pourront porter plainte, et s'ils ont des preuves, les Mandarins devront leur faire rendre justice.\n\nARTICLE VI.\n\nEn attendant que les Ambassadeurs de la noble Cour d'Annam et l'Amiral Gouverneur de la Cochin-Chine se soient entendus ensemble pour la conclusion du Traité, le Gouvernement Annamite ne laissera dans la citadelle de Hanoi qu'une garnison suffisante pour la garde et le service militaire. Il ne devra pas entasser des\n\n[608]\n\nG\n\n236",

Tout compte fait, peu de variations. Le rapport de l'encaisse au passif à vue est à 61,04 0/0 an Tien de 60.53 0/0 il y a huit jours. La différence est peu sensible. \n\nTotal égal (actif et paesi.. \n\non n'a. \n\nOn voit que la combinaison adoptée chez nos voisins, combinaison qui cadre parfaitement avec la liberté et sup- plée, avec avantage, la loi si défectueuse que les adver- sairés de la pluralité des banques d'émission trouvaient déjà trop libérale, favorise le développement de la circulation tout comme l'unité de banques. Si on avait agi ainsi en France en 1848, la province ne subirait pas aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'opérations, le joug si pesant de Paris pour être édifié à cet égard, qu'à se rappeler le régime des succursales de la Banque de France et le comparer àt celui des comptoirs de la Banque nationale belge qui an moins a eu le bon esprit d'introduire les principes de self government dans ses règlements avec ces derniers (Voir Economiste Français da 29 janvier 1876, page 154). Mais avec la liberté telle qu'elle existe en Suisse, on est plus sûr d'atteindre ce résultat sans coup férir. En Belgique, une loi, bien qu'improbable comme vote, pourrait faire perdre tout le progrès conquis; en Suisse if est plus assuré. \n\nIl ne sera pas sans utilité de comparer la situation des principaux éléments de la richesse publique et du crédit de l'Etat, à une même époque, pour les cinq dernières années. \n\npen. 3 DEC. 2 pc. 1873 1874- 1875 \n\n30 sov. 1876 \n\nmillions. millions. millions. millions. millions. \n\n2.883.8 2.385.3 2.635.0 \n\n2.617.2 2.400.4 \n\n3.168.4 323.5 \n\nDATES \n\ndes \n\nBILANS \n\nENCAISSE \n\nMÉTALLIQUE \n\n| BILLETS EN CAISSE \n\ndes diverses banques \n\nET DU YWESOR \n\n| PORTEFEUILLE \n\nCOMMERCIAL \n\nAVANCES SER TITRES \n\nBILLEYSIG \n\nEN CIRCULATION \n\nDÉPOTS A VUE \n\nDEPOTS A TERME \n\nDONNIE \n\nRAPPORT \n\nde l'encaisse au pass \n\nMILLIONS DE \n\n7542.1 \n\n55.9379.21 \n\n58.8 360.5 38.8 351.6 60.5 951.4 \n\n58.21 361.8i \n\n59.7 337.81 57.8 869.2) \n\n57.2 397.0 \n\n54.0 456.9) \n\nREICHSMARK. \n\n48.9 665.6 155,01 75.8 47.8 659.8.109.8 74.33 44.9 650.8 177.9 78.5) 45.9 659.4.189.0 71.3 46.3 668.9'191.6) 70.6) 45.8671.8.185.0 69.7 45.9 709.6.168.0 68. 38.0 777.7168. 51.3 765.5 177.8] \n\n.91 473.2) 46.0 732.2 169.9 59.945 \n\n40.

Il est de tradition que, pour que la Banque d'Angleterre songe à recourir à la hausse du taux de l'escompte, il faut que ladite réserve tende a tomber au-dessous du tiers des comples courants du Trésor, des administrations publiques et des particuliers cumulés. \n\nLes Etats-Unis pour la plus forte partie et la Plata pour une somme moindre ont retiré, de là banque d'Angleterre, la majeure partie du million de liv. sterl. dont l'encaissé a baissé depuis huit jours. C'est par les comptes particu- liers et la circulation que ce retrait s'est opéré; il en ré- sulte naturellement une diminution de 771,750 liv. st. de la réserve, diminution qui eût été plus forte si le compte courant des administratious publiques ne s'était pas aceru de 301,451 liv. st. Somme toute, la proportion, de la ré- serve aux comptes courants réunis, est de 53.45 0/0 au Tien de 54.64 0/0 il y a huit jours, celle de l'encaisse au passif à vue de 49.93 0/0 au lieu de 50.66 0/0 la semaine dernière. La Banque d'Angleterre a résisté à la tentation de rehausser le taux de son escompte. C'est courageux de sa part, ear on la conseillait chaudement de le faire. \n\nLes échanges au \"Clearing-House, à Londres, ont roulé, celte semaine, sur 80,812,000 liv.st. contre 199.724,000 liv. st., il y a un an, à pareille époque. C'est donc une dimi- nution de 48,912,000 liv. st. \n\nSeptembre \n\nOctobre \n\n81 391.1 \n\n71 538.0 58.9) 419.9 \n\n16 538.6 58.2 408.7 \n\n231 \n\n538.0 58.8 \n\n406.6 \n\n2410.6 \n\n31 540-2 \n\n540.3 58. \n\n530.7! \n\n58.0 403.8 \n\n15 532.0 58.5 392.8 51.8 405.3 231 525.2 301 510.3 \n\n51.860. \n\n500.3 52.4 \n\n14 489.6 53.8 145.3 \n\n48.8 657.6 \n\n51.7 666.0227.9 51.5 18.3 602.5 210.2 52.0 \n\n48.4 666.4 196 6 51.9 404675.4187.5 32.9 \n\n48.0 3. \n\n61.8 740.2 \n\n33.91 458.3 \n\nNoven. \n\n3187.7 7490.8 \n\n740-2 151.6 51 55.6 732.4 154.7 52.0 52.3 128.3 147.6 32.1 \n\n725 0161.4) 52. $1.8 37.4 465.6 \n\n53.7 733.3 163. 57.3 451.6 52.1 721.3.169. 15 495.4 57.8 433.5 50.5 716.5:159.7| 42. 23 502.8 08.1 434.7 47.3 709.2175.6 42. \n\n56.78 58.85 \n\n60.55 61.04 \n\nEn 1872, la crise ministérielle continue. Monétairement parlant, il y a du mieux à Londres. \n\nEn 1873, la Banque d'Angleterre a baisse de 1 0/0 le taux de son escompte; il est donc à 30/0. A Amsterdam, il est à 5 1/2 0/0 et à Bruxelles à 60'0. En politique, rien de nouveau. un mois (voir Comme nous l'avons déjà fait, il y a l'Economiste Français du 11 novembre, p. 647), nous don- nous sommairement, et en supprimant activement et pas- sivement quelques doubles emplois, tels que les billets en caisse, le capital non versé, etc., un résumé du bilan des 21 banques concordataires án 31 octobre dernier, avec rap- prochement des chiffres de celui du 30 septembre. \n\nBilans des 24 banques concordataires suisses et de leurs succursales. \n\nCaisse Espèces. \n\n31 octobre. \n\nACTIF. \n\n30 septembre. \n\n86.520.460 \n\n36.052.983 \n\nValeurs diverses \n\n4.044.250 \n\n3.180.978 \n\nCréances à vue.... \n\n18.944.308 \n\n20.840.201 \n\nEscomptes et avances \n\n172.848.662 \n\n173.196.566 \n\nComples courants débiteurs. \n\n70.347.087 \n\n73.855.795 \n\nEllets publics. \n\n33.027.813 \n\n33.537.971 \n\nCréances hypothécaires.. \n\n110.512.770 \n\n110.189.118 \n\nAutres créances à terine.........

A Paris, la situation de la Banque de France, au point de vue des affaires, est meilleure. La Bourse est indécise, ne baissant pas, mais ne pouvant so résoudre à la hausse. \n\nEn 1875, les marchés monétaires étrangers sont faciles et les taux d'escompte tendent à se maintenir bas. A Paris, il y a, au contraire, un leger resserrement. Les affaires commerciales et financières vont bien, mais on est encore sous le coup de l'impression produite par l'achat par le gouvernement anglais de 176,602 actions du canal de Suez appartenant au khédive et de l'envoi en Égypte de M. S. Cave. \n\nEn 1876, les craintes de Finsuccès de la conférence pour empêcher la guerre continuent à dire vives; elles sont compliquées à Tintérieur de difficuliés pouvant amener de modifications ministérielles. Argent abondant, et liquidation s'annonçant facile, mais commençant en baisse. Du mieux du côté de l'Égypte.",

La fin du mois et les reports avaient inquiété un instant le marché du papier; on abordait 2 à 2 1/4 pour les banques ordinaires et le haut commerce, et 1 1/8 pour la haute banque. C'était, si on se rappelle les chiffres de notre dernière revue, 3/4 de hausse sur les uns, 1/8 sur le dernier. On s'est calmé depuis deux jours; le papier de bon commerce vaut encore 2 à 2 1/4 0/0, mais celui de banque ordinaire est tombé à 1 3/4 et celui de haute banque 1/2 0/0. Cela peut faire espérer, si les besoins à Londres ne s'accentuent pas, une bonne fin d'année si l'on peut, toutefois, appeler bonne une faiblesse de taux d'escompte due à la stagnation des affaires, causée elle-même par les appréhensions de la politique extérieure.\n\nBOURSE DE PARIS. - Voici les fluctuations quotidiennes du 5 0/0 et du 3 0/0 au comptant et à terme :\n\nCOMPTANT\n\n5 0/0\n\n3 0/0\n\nPl. haut\nPl. bas\nDernier\nPl. haut\nPl. bas\nDernier\n\n500\n502\n50\nV.Lyon, 1865\n5 0/0 j. juil. 76\nLa.\n\n500\n499\n\n70 5/0 i. 30 sept. 76\nLn.\n1500\n\n500\n506\n50\n500\n442\n50\n\n1872\n5 0/0 j. août 76\nLu.\n1000\n993\n1000\n\n1000\n996\n\n505\n513\n\n500\n498\n500\n500\n\nV.

        "content_text": "## Step 1: Understand the task\nThe task is to proofread OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, and indicating missing words, all while maintaining the original content and style.\n\n## Step 2: Identify the specific requirements for the task\nThe requirements include transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words with `...`, not rephrasing or rewriting the text, and formatting in Markdown. Additionally, specific rules apply to file references, page numbering, and handling of Chinese writing direction.\n\n## Step 3: Begin proofreading the given text\nStart by examining the provided text for spelling errors, spacing issues, and broken sentences. The text appears to be a table or list related to schools in Hong Kong, including their enrollment, attendance, and examination results.\n\n## Step 4: Correct spelling errors and fix spacing issues\nUpon reviewing the text, corrections are needed for spelling errors such as \"D'Agullar\" to \"D'Aguilar\", \"Sal-ging-plén\" to \"Sai-ying-p'an\", \"Hákká\" and \"Punti\" should be checked for consistency, and other similar corrections. Spacing issues, such as extra or missing spaces between words or numbers, need to be addressed.\n\n## Step 5: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks\nThe text is largely tabular, so rejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks will primarily involve ensuring that table rows and columns are correctly formatted and that any descriptive text is properly paragraphed.\n\n## Step 6: Indicate missing words and format in Markdown\nMissing words due to OCR damage should be indicated with `...`. The text should be formatted using Markdown for headers, tables, and other structural elements.\n\n## Step 7: Apply specific formatting rules\nFile references should have no spaces inside parentheses. Page numbering lines should be preserved as is if they match the specified format. Chinese text direction should be adjusted to left-to-right if originally right-to-left.\n\n## Step 8: Reorganize newspaper texts and reconstruct tables\nIf the text is from newspapers, columns should be reorganized to make sense.

Whether the exercise grounds I have given will be big enough.\n\nCPL. Seen M: Price: he cannot make an Estimate until he gets to the colony and works out the details as to the points above he mentions.\n\nThere are hardly any female lunatics. He says he thinks there will be no difficulty about getting exercise outside the grounds. To Dr. Buchanan, he says the grounds are not big enough.\n\n### Response from Dr. Buchanan\n\nSept 13.  \nSept 15.  \nRun 1419.  \nDr. Buchanan. Will you be kind enough to look at this plan for a Small Lunatic Asylum for the non-Chinese population of Hong Kong? There is no doubt that it will be quite big enough, and I think no objection.\n\nC-PL. I have little comment to make on the plans. I think it would be well to get a little more space, and this might be done at the expense of the day room which at present seems uncomfortably big for four people.\n\n1. The sleeping spaces (or what might be thought of as \"cells\") are small.\n2. A Kitchen scullery of 11X10 seems small, especially as I have not been conversant with Chinese Kitchen operations in China.\n3. The bathroom might well be larger, and the bath so arranged that an attendant can reach into it from both sides.\n\nM. Meade  \n4 Oct.",

Tricou, le nouvel envoyé extraordinaire et ministre plénipotentiaire de France à Pékin, a quitté Yeddo pour aller remplacer M. Bourée. Avant son départ, il a reçu de l'empereur du Japon le grand cordon de l'Ordre du Chrysanthème.\n\nM. de Kergaradec, envoyé extraordinaire à la cour d'Annam, se trouvait à Saigon le 27 mai, attendant de nouvelles instructions avant de partir pour Hué.\n\nA la même date du 27 mai, M. Harmand, nommé gouverneur civil du Tonkin, avait quitté sa résidence de Bangkok et se trouvait à Singapore, en route pour Saigon.\n\nLes détails que nous avons donnés hier sur les malheureux événements d'Hanoi ne se réfèrent, comme on l'a vu, qu'à la sortie du 18 mai, que le gouvernement savait avoir été projetée dès le 10 mai. On sait maintenant que nos soldats revenaient vainqueurs lorsqu'ils ont été victimes d'une embuscade. L'attaque dirigée sur la citadelle d'Hanoi le 27 mars par le sous-gouverneur de cette ville avait sans doute convaincu le commandant Rivière de la nécessité de cette sortie.\n\nSur l'attaque elle-même et la sortie qui l'avait suivie, des lettres particulières ont apporté quelques détails que voici :\n\nAprès le démantèlement de la citadelle, les hauts mandarins annamites y étaient restés, les Français n'occupant que la pagode royale qui s'y trouve. Le drapeau annamite avait même continué à flotter sur la citadelle. Il paraît que, voulant profiter du départ pour Nam-Dinh de la majeure partie des troupes (il n'était resté dans la pagode qu'une compagnie d'infanterie de marine sous les ordres du capitaine Retrouvey), le sous-gouverneur de la ville projeta de massacrer ou d'expulser les Français.\n\nA cet effet, sortit de la citadelle, se mit en rapport avec le général annamite et prit par une surprise nocturne des mesures que la vigilance du capitaine Retrouvey fit échouer. C'était le 26 mars.\n\nDans la nuit qui suivit, le commandant Berthe de Villers, du Léopard, du voisinage des troupes annamites, fit faire une reconnaissance offensive par deux compagnies d'infanterie de marine et la compagnie de débarquement du Léopard.\n\nL'attaque, dirigée sur le village de Gia Cúc, que des Annamites défendaient avec du canon et derrière un fossé, réussit complètement. Emportés par leur ardeur, marins et soldats arrivèrent ensemble sur le retranchement, en chassèrent l'ennemi qui s'enfuit dans toutes les directions, abandonnant Gia-Cao et le village voisin de Gia-Thuy.\n\nSix canons, des fusils de rempart, des revolvers et des fusils de marques étrangères furent les trophées de la journée, qui nous avait coûté cinq soldats d'infanterie de marine.\n\nLes pièces de 12 et de 14 et les canons revolvers Hotchkiss du Léopard avaient soutenu l'attaque.\n\nLe commandant Rivière adressa aux troupes les deux ordres du jour suivants se référant aux journées de Nam-Dinh et d'Hanoi.\n\nNam-Đinh, le 21 mars 1883.\n\nSoldats et marins,\n\nVous venez de montrer à la prise de la citadelle de Nam-Dinh le même entrain, la même valeur, le même dévouement qu'à la prise de la citadelle d'Hanoi (25 avril 1882).\n\nJe vous confonds les uns et les autres, les anciens comme les nouveaux, dans cet éloge, que votre brave colonel, blessé à votre tête, vous décerne comme moi.\n\nLa patrie, qui vous suit de cœur dans les pays lointains où nous sommes, tressaillera bientôt d'émotion et d'orgueil en apprenant ce que vous avez fait.\n\nVive la France !\n\nHanoi, le 2 avril 1883.\n\nSoldats et marins,\n\nPendant que vos camarades prenaient la citadelle de Nam-Dinh, vous repoussiez ici les troupes annamites et les Drapeaux-Noirs qui attaquaient la pagode et qui se disposaient à investir Hanoi.\n\nVous faisiez plus, vous rejetiez ces troupes sur leurs villages de la rive gauche, et vous les leur enleviez.\n\nA Hanoi et à Nam-Dinh, vous étiez dignes les uns des autres; vous avez tous montré la vaillance, la discipline et l'élan qui font que le soldat est fier de lui-même et que le pays est fier de lui.\n\nVous avez bien agi.\n\nVive la France !\n\nUne lettre adressée au Temps ajoute à ces détails le récit d'un incident assez caractéristique pour que nous le rapportions :\n\nDans sa dernière tournée pastorale, Mgr Puginier, l'évêque catholique du Tonkin, se reposait dans une maison d'un village chrétien lorsque des Annamites et des Chinois vinrent demander au maître de la maison le grand prêtre des Français dans l'intention de lui faire subir le sort de son prédécesseur.\n\nLe Tonkinois les invita en riant à entrer, les engageant à venir voir l'évêque mitré, crossé, vêtu de velours de soie et d'or.\n\nSur cette invitation, les brigands disparurent.\n\n« Noir, dans ce pays, veut dire blanc, » dit après leur départ à Mgr Puginier, qui lui demandait des explications, le Tonkinois satisfait.\n\n« Si j'avais nié que vous fussiez dans ma maison, on y serait entré, on m'aurait coupé la tête et votre mort eût été certaine. »\n\nC 0. 9830\n\nRECP\n\nREGP 1 JU",

Est-ce par suite de l'exécution de la condition à laquelle notre ministre avait consenti, ou n'est-ce pas par la vertu tout autrement sensible des mesures sucrées qu'à la même date le gouverneur de la Cochinchine prescrivait au commandant Rivière? Il est difficile de le dire. Les deux opinions ont été discutées et ont chacune leur vraisemblance, selon moi, d'ailleurs, tout à fait inégale.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nCette condition était celle qui, dans la pensée de M. Bourée, devait équivaloir à l'ouverture du Yun-Nan.\n\nNous n'avons pu, messieurs, avec quelque soin que nous l'ayons examinée, y voir autre chose que la remise aux mains de la Chine de la clé même de la navigation du fleuve Rouge. Par cette clause, nous disposions, sans droit, sans raison, contrairement à la justice, contrairement au traité de 1874, d'un territoire qui ne nous appartenait pas. Tout, messieurs, dans cette partie de la convention M. Bourée fit les déclarations qu'on lui demandait; il les fit au mois de novembre, sans autorisation, sans instruction préalable, spontanément, sous sa responsabilité. Il écrivit une lettre d'un ton et dans des termes qu'il nous serait, encore aujourd'hui, impossible d'accepter.\n\nLes troupes chinoises étaient au Tonkin, elles y étaient entrées sans droit; leur présence y était une menace pour les nôtres et constituait une violation formelle d'un territoire dont nous avions la défense. Eh bien, M. Bourée sollicitait le retrait des troupes chinoises, et voici dans quels termes: «Mon Gouvernement trouverait un gage significatif du bon vouloir de la Chine et de la confiance qu'elle accorderait à nos loyales déclarations, si elle consentait à reporter vers le Nord les troupes impériales venues du Kouang-Si et du Yun-Nan, et dont la présence dans le cercle des opérations que nos colonnes volantes doivent entreprendre contre les bandes aux pavillons noirs ou jaunes pourrait donner lieu à d'embarrassantes difficultés. Quelles ne seraient pas, en effet, les conséquences d'une méprise qui porterait nos soldats à attaquer ceux de l'Empereur?»\n\nQuoiqu'il fût très vrai que nous n'en voulions nullement à la souveraineté territoriale du roi d'Annam, et que nous n'avions pas l'intention de conquérir ou de nous annexer le Tonkin, quoique cela fût vrai, M. Bourée n'en faisait pas moins une déclaration, à laquelle rien ne l'obligeait, qu'on n'avait aucun droit d'exiger de lui. Quoiqu'il fût aussi très vrai que nous ne voulions qu'appliquer purement et simplement le traité passé, il y a neuf ans, avec le roi Tu-Duc et dont nous avions donné communication au gouvernement impérial, sans que, de ce chef, aucune protestation, aucune objection même nous eût été opposée depuis, M. Bourée, indépendamment d'une déclaration qu'on n'avait nulle raison de lui demander, se livrait à des protestations encore plus inacceptables lorsqu'il disait: «Votre altesse me dit aujourd'hui que la Chine a un droit de suzeraineté sur l'Annam, mais c'est là un point qui n'est nullement mis en cause, et je ne vois pas quel intérêt il y aurait à le discuter puisque rien dans notre conduite n'implique la méconnaissance du principe que vous voulez bien rappeler.» (Rumeurs sur divers bancs.)\n\nSi nous avions souscrit à ce langage, si nous avions approuvé de pareilles déclarations, de pareilles protestations, n'est-il pas vrai? nous aurions, par cette approbation, déchiré ou à peu près le traité de 1874, c'est-à-dire le véritable titre sur lequel nous nous appuyons.\n\nVoilà, messieurs, quelle était la première condition de l'arrangement accepté par M. Bourée. Il y en avait une seconde, par laquelle il était convenu que la ville tonkinoise de Lao-Kai, terminus naturel de la navigation ascendante du fleuve Rouge, serait remise à la Chine, qui y établirait une douane, qui la considérerait comme lui appartenant, et de telle sorte, dit la dépêche de M. Bourée, que les produits étrangers ayant franchi cette barrière se trouveraient placés au delà, sous le régime ordinaire de tous les produits qui ont pénétré dans l'intérieur de la Chine par les ports ouverts.\n\nIl y en avait une troisième qui donnait lieu à des objections d'un autre ordre, mais selon nous, également fortes.\n\n233\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nAnnée 1883\n\n... un point parmi les informations relatives à ce traité, et donnant par suite plus de force à l'arrangement que notre agent à Pékin avait accepté, auxquelles nous n'avons pas cru devoir souscrire et dont l'acceptation parait avoir été complètement sauvegardée. M. Bourée ne nous a pas paru avoir près du gouvernement chinois une autorité suffisante pour parler au nom de la France.\n\nEt le ministre de la marine ajoutait:\n\nNous les avons repoussées parce qu'elles nous ont paru dangereuses, illusoires et parfaitement destructives du traité de 1874. Si nous les avions acceptées, vous auriez eu droit de nous demander, et certainement plus d'un d'entre vous en aurait usé, ce que nous faisions des traités que nous étions chargés de maintenir, de quel droit nous permettions de mettre à néant la signature de la France.\n\n(Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nM. de Gavardie: Il fallait l'y laisser... (Rumeurs à gauche.) Comment ne peut-on pas dire cela?\n\n(Voix à gauche: Non! - N'interrompez pas M. le ministre....)\n\nLorsque nous avons nommé, pour la remplacer, un agent d'un esprit conciliant, d'une rare intelligence, et que nous lui avons donné pour mission de se montrer large et facile à toutes les ouvertures qui pourraient lui être faites; nous voulions donner un nouveau témoignage de nos bonnes dispositions.\n\nDans les entretiens qu'il m'est arrivé d'avoir avec l'ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, qui n'avait plus de relations avec le département depuis près d'une année, je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de notre désir d'éviter tout démêlé, lequel n'avait de limite que les engagements que nous avons pris et les engagements qui ont été contractés envers nous, et je dois dire qu'à cette heure rien ne nous donne lieu de croire qu'on nourrisse en Chine la pensée d'une rupture.\n\nCar, messieurs, il ne faut pas s'y tromper. Et ces conventions, messieurs, si longuement élaborées et qui inspiraient de telles armes, ces conventions auxquelles notre ministre à Pékin attachait une valeur que nous pouvions leur reconnaître, il n'est pas sûr qu'elles aient jamais été acceptées par le gouvernement chinois; il n'est pas sûr qu'elles aient jamais été souscrites.\n\nVous avez pu lire, il y a quelques jours, dans un journal conservateur, une conversation, très probablement authentique et qu'on n'a point démentie, entre un diplomate en Chine, de laquelle il résulte clairement que si ces conventions ont été soumises à l'examen du Tsong-li-Yamen, il n'y a jamais donné son approbation.\n\nEt quand même ces lignes n'existeraient pas, je demande, messieurs, ce que c'est que toutes ces négociations, toutes ces transactions, toutes ces conventions avec la Chine, si elles ne sont pas, en fait, la reconnaissance d'un droit que la Chine ne peut posséder sans que nous n'en ayons plus aucun au Tonkin...\n\nLe télégramme du 29 décembre, parmi les lignes qui sont un démenti formel à cette assertion, lignes décisives, à moins qu'elles ne soient absolument dépourvues de sens, contenait une condition dont il donnait une idée, et c'était, à coup sûr, la plus séduisante, qu'il énonçait en ces termes: Reconnaissance du protectorat de la France au Tonkin, sauf sur une zone à délimiter le long de la frontière.\n\nCette reconnaissance, c'était déjà beaucoup que de l'accepter, car on reconnaissait ainsi implicitement à la Chine le droit de la refuser. Mais on conçoit toutefois que le désir de donner à un grand empire fier de sa population et de son territoire immense, jaloux de conserver les souvenirs de son passé, une satisfaction morale et de maintenir à ce prix les bonnes relations que nous avions avec lui, on conçoit parfaitement qu'un pareil désir eût conduit notre agent à accepter une pareille clause.\n\nOn conçoit de même que, si une rectification de frontières paraissait nécessaire à la Chine pour sa sûreté, notre agent s'engageât, en notre nom, à l'obtenir du roi d'Annam.\n\nMais il n'était plus question d'une zone à délimiter le long de la frontière, il s'agissait en réalité de diviser toute la région qui est au nord du fleuve Rouge par une ligne de démarcation à tracer en des points qui n'étaient pas déterminés, la partie au nord de cette ligne devant être placée sous l'autorité de la Chine, celle qui est au sud devant rester sous la police de la France.\n\nCe n'était pas la reconnaître le protectorat de la France, c'était purement et simplement le partager. Or, nous voulons bien être les amis de la Chine, et c'est précisément pour cette raison que, loin de nourrir la pensée d'attenter à l'intégrité de son territoire, nous ne voulons pas même être ses voisins immédiats, séparés d'elle par une ligne simplement idéale.\n\nNous voulons vivre avec la Chine en bons termes, sur le pied de relations cordiales, et c'est pour cela que nous ne pouvions accepter une coopération qui aurait ouvert la porte à mille manœuvres, qui nous aurait imposé des charges dont il était impossible de mesurer le poids, qui aurait ouvert une source intarissable de prétentions rivales, de démêlés et de conflits.\n\nNous ne pouvions pas souscrire à cette condition.\n\nIl y avait un quatrième point sur lequel je n'ai pas à m'appesantir, à savoir que cet état de choses serait placé sous la garantie commune de la France et de la Chine. Je ne m'y arrête pas parce que, en présence de ce qui se passe, de ce que nous savons aujourd'hui, en présence de la connivence qui n'a jamais cessé entre l'Annam et la Chine, une pareille condition a vraiment quelque chose de dérisoire.\n\nTelles étaient, messieurs, les conditions de...\n\nà peine ces pourparlers étaient-ils terminés que, dans une lettre d'un caractère extrêmement courtois - c'est M. Bourée qui le dit - nous devons l'en croire, car il n'a pas cru devoir nous faire connaître cette lettre - le Tsong-li-Yamen faisait des contre-propositions qui bouleversaient de fond en comble le travail accompli; il ne s'agissait plus de convention, de traité; de quoi s'agissait-il donc? Il s'agissait d'une conférence dans laquelle aurait été admis un plénipotentiaire annamite et dont les membres auraient été nommés d'un commun accord entre les gouvernements de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nA peine les conventions que je viens de vous exposer sommairement, avaient-elles commencé à transpirer; à peine étaient-elles connues que, parmi les indigènes, d'une part, et nos nationaux en Chine et en Cochinchine, d'autre part, il n'y eut qu'un cri; on y vit aussitôt l'indice de notre prochain départ, le triste prélude de l'abandon définitif d'une entreprise que nous poursuivions depuis neuf ans.\n\nM. le ministre de la marine, interprète de ces sentiments, adressait, à la date du 20 février, le jour même où nous entrions aux affaires, au ministre des affaires étrangères, une lettre où ces inquiétudes faisaient jour, dans un langage caractéristique.\n\nLes journaux de Chine, disait cette lettre, publient à propos du projet de traité conclu entre notre ministre et le Tsong-li-Yamen; je ne relèverai pas leurs insinuations, qui ont provoqué dans l'opinion un mouvement que je ne saurais trop appeler sur ce point votre haute attention.\n\n(Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nMais, messieurs, il faut bien qu'on sache que partout où s'élèvera entre la France et une puissance quelconque un démêlé, nous nous montrerons pressés de chercher les moyens de l'aplanir et heureux de les trouver.\n\nSi la Chine croît avoir au Tonkin d'autres intérêts que ceux de son commerce, ceux de la sécurité et de l'ordre que nous sommes chargés d'y rétablir, nous n'avons jamais eu la pensée de nous refuser a priori à toute proposition d'arrangement qui serait compatible avec nos droits.\n\nNous savons tenir compte de la dignité du gouvernement d'un peuple immense et du prix qu'il peut être forcé d'attacher à de certaines concessions flatteuses pour son orgueil national.\n\nLorsque nous avons rappelé M. Bourée, nous avons, néanmoins, maintenu à son égard une attitude conciliante.\n\nDans les entretiens qu'il m'est arrivé d'avoir avec l'ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, qui n'avait plus de relations avec le département depuis près d'une année, je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de notre désir d'éviter tout démêlé...\n\nLa Chine, messieurs, désire être en sûreté chez elle et elle a raison. Certes, si elle est exposée à quelques périls, en butte à quelques menaces, ce ne sera pas de notre côté. S'il lui convient d'ouvrir au commerce de l'Occident ses provinces du midi, nous en serons heureux; s'il lui convient mieux de rester hermétiquement fermée aux produits et aux influences de l'Europe, nous n'avons rien à dire, mais ce que nous ne pourrions admettre, c'est que, hors la Chine, nous ayons à compter avec l'empire du Milieu.\n\nNous avons la ferme confiance que la Chine, dont les intérêts au Tonkin sont non pas opposés mais identiques aux nôtres, ne se laissera pas entraîner à une immixtion que nous ne pourrions pas supporter.\n\nNous savons, messieurs, qu'on travaille à exciter la Chine et nous savons qui l'excite. (Très bien! à gauche. Mouvement.)\n\nNous voyons des passions, qu'on devait croire assoupies pour toujours, se réveiller avec violence. Nous espérons qu'à force de sang-froid, de patience, de mesure, nous aurons raison de ces passions, nous ferons tomber cette colère apparente, nous donnerons à cette fumée le temps de se dissiper.\n\nNous pensons aussi que la Chine ne se laissera pas entraîner.\n\nSur ce point, je dois l'avouer, il s'est élevé entre nous et notre ancien ministre en Chine une différence d'appréciation. La nôtre, messieurs, repose sur des informations multipliées, approfondies, impartiales.\n\nOn a bien dit tout ce que disent nos agents en Chine, l'opinion unanime de tous ceux qui ont vécu dans ce pays, qui l'ont parcouru, qui l'ont habité et observé, et les aveux même des fonctionnaires chinois de l'ordre le plus élevé, tout cela ne signifie rien, tout cela est sans valeur ou bien il est avéré, il est certain que la Chine, sa sécurité garantie et son amour-propre mis à couvert, n'aura pas la pensée d'intervenir dans une affaire où elle n'a ni droit ni intérêt.\n\n(Très bien! très bien! et applaudissements prolongés à gauche.)\n\nDÉPÔT DE RAPPORT\n\nM. le président: M. Gouin a la parole pour le dépôt d'un rapport.\n\nM. Gouin: J'ai l'honneur de déposer sur le bureau du Sénat un rapport fait au nom de la commission des finances sur un projet de...",

On n'a pas tenu la main à l'exécution d'un droit; pour réparer cet oubli, on est disposé à outrepasser le droit.\n\nC'est ce que je ne voudrais pas voir devenir la politique de mon pays: je n'y trouverais pour ni grandeur ni profit en rapport avec les compromissions auxquelles il s'exposerait, immédiatement peut-être, mais avec de grandes probabilités dans un avenir plus ou moins prochain, mais certain.\n\nIl serait bon que cela fût évité, et il faudrait que cela le fût pour bien témoigner que notre politique n'a ni faiblesse ni convoitise, mais qu'elle s'appuie sur un droit, même longtemps négligé, elle tient à l'affirmer, ce qu'elle le doit et qu'elle le peut, sans se laisser aller à l'outrepasser, si la force des choses ne la contraint point.\n\nNotre droit est d'exiger du souverain de l'Annam le passage par le fleuve Rouge jusqu'au Yunnan, en délivrant cette voie de communication de tout ce qui pourrait matériellement l'entraver, c'est-à-dire de la piraterie, exercée par faiblesse par lui, ou cauteleusement favorisée par lui.\n\nC'est notre devoir de le mettre en demeure d'agir dans ce sens, et, après les réitérées manifestations de son manque de foi, de suppléer nous-mêmes, matériellement, en forces, son action.\n\nS'il se refusait à agir ou retardait son action, quel que fût le motif de ce retard, la mauvaise foi, mauvais vouloir ou tous les deux, ce serait notre droit, notre devoir, de nous substituer à lui dans toute la plénitude que doit avoir son action, qui deviendrait nôtre.\n\nNous aurions à assurer, à maintenir par nous-mêmes la sécurité de la navigation du fleuve Rouge et à éteindre la piraterie qui empêche et rançonne le commerce.\n\nLa conséquence de nos actes conservateurs sur le fleuve Rouge, actes qui ne seraient que la conséquence du traité de 1874, nous obligerait à l'occupation militaire de certains points que l'expérience des lieux peut seule fixer, à l'établissement d'une administration préservatrice, constituée le plus possible selon le texte et l'esprit du traité, à la police du fleuve Rouge.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\net nous pouvons, d'avance, être convaincus que l'un et l'autre ne nous manqueront pas là-bas: car il y a des pays où, pour conserver, il faut avancer toujours, je ne veux pas employer le mot qui exprime le mieux la chose,\n\net si nous sommes contraints aujourd'hui de faire au Tonkin un premier pas, il n'y a pas à douter que les imprévus ne nous obligent à les multiplier.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nabsolument écarté, comme énigmatique ou comme oubliant qu'au dehors surtout, devant l'étranger, la dignité de notre parole, de notre terre et de mer est plus que partout ailleurs synonyme de dignité, d'honneur et de grandeur de la France. (Très bien et applaudissements à droite.) et ne doit être subordonnée à aucune autorité civile ayant autorité immédiate sur elle; dans cet ordre d'idées, dis-je, maintien au Tonkin des droits qui nous sont conférés par le traité du 15 mars 1874; négociations à suivre ou à reprendre avec le Gouvernement de Pékin, mon vote est acquis au crédit proposé.\n\nDans le temps présent, il me paraîtrait sage et prudent de ne pas nous engager trop avant. Ne laissons à personne au monde douter de la volonté de maintenir notre droit, mais ne laissons pas supposer non plus que nos volontés sortiraient, par de lointaines distractions, de ce recueillement salutaire que doivent s'imposer les grands peuples éprouvés pour se préparer un meilleur avenir. (Vifs applaudissements à droite et sur divers bancs au centre.)\n\nJe le répète, maintenons notre droit établi sur des traités, ne voulons pas aller au-delà du parti pris; les événements se chargeront bien assez eux-mêmes de s'imposer à nous.\n\nC'est avec ces idées que j'ai vu avec peine repousser les avances d'un pays, dont on parle tour à tour, avec trop de dédain et trop de légèreté: la Chine; c'est en tout cas un pays d'une immense et inépuisable population, sans dette publique, qui peut souvent renouveler ses efforts contre la civilisation en lui empruntant chaque fois de nouveaux moyens de résistance, ses armes et engins de guerre perfectionnés pour l'attaque et la défense: qui chaque fois devient, par conséquent, plus difficile à vaincre et à plus de frais en hommes, en argent, en navires et en matériel de guerre: c'est une race qui jamais ne se rebute.\n\nAutant que je puis le savoir, c'était de la Chine que nous étaient venues des ouvertures pour une entente.\n\nDans une autre enceinte, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a indiqué des points qui auraient été acceptés ad referendum: notre protectorat était reconnu au Tonkin, ce qui était par la Chine l'aveu qu'elle n'avait rien à voir au Tonkin et à l'Annam. C'était quelque chose, une difficulté de moins, quelque peu d'importance que l'on soit en disposition d'accorder au bon vouloir des Chinois.\n\nLe Yunnan était ouvert au commerce, c'était un second point obtenu; il avait sa valeur, puisque, pour ouvrir le Yunnan au commerce européen, il faudra négocier avec la Chine; enfin, il était admis qu'il y avait en à négociation pour fixer la délimitation entre le Tonkin et les provinces méridionales de la Chine; le principe à appliquer restait seul à établir. C'était certainement un point délicat, mais de ceux que le temps, les négociations, l'à-propos savamment mis à profit, permettent de résoudre, et qui souvent trouvent leur solution dans des intérêts qui concilient la force et les nécessités pratiques des choses et l'expérience réciproquement acquise.\n\nJe serais donc heureux de voir reprendre les négociations avec la Chine, sans pour cela que notre action au Tonkin, dans les termes définis par moi, soit ralentie: car il serait possible qu'un ralentissement précipitât des événements dont le bruit public vient jusqu'à nous et qui indiqueraient chez les Annamites des sentiments, une vigueur relative d'action et l'acquisition de moyens matériels d'action qui nous forceraient à des opérations étendues, avec les obligations subséquentes d'une large occupation.\n\nAller plus loin serait-il de notre intérêt immédiat? Une fois que nous aurons affirmé notre volonté de rester fermement là où notre présence est nécessaire, est-il utile d'occuper plus de territoires, de nous étendre avec un empressement qui semblerait trop avoir été une préméditation?\n\n(Très bien sur divers bancs.)\n\nJe ne le crois pas, à chaque jour et à chaque temps suffit sa peine et son labeur.\n\nDans cet ordre d'idées, et une fois l'article 2 adopté...\n\nMais en le donnant, même dans ces conditions, je ne puis taire que les événements peuvent être plus forts que les volontés, et que, si les intérêts de la France sont assez multipliés pour qu'elle ait besoin de son bras pour les soutenir, il y a des moments de son histoire où ils sont surtout en Europe et sur les terrains plus prochains de ses séculaires traditions. (Très bien! et applaudissements à droite.)\n\nM. le comte de Saint-Vallier, rapporteur, Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le rapporteur.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Messieurs, je ne répondrai qu'un mot aux observations que notre honorable collègue M. Fournier vient de présenter, c'est qu'il résulte des explications qui ont été fournies à la commission par les ministres qu'une grande partie des recommandations et des vœux de M. Fournier, reçoit satisfaction.\n\nSi je l'ai bien entendu, deux points surtout le préoccupent: ne pas nous lancer dans une conquête aventureuse au Tonkin, nous borner à y faire respecter nos droits, à y faire observer et exécuter les traités que nous avons conclus avec l'empire d'Annam. Telle est, messieurs, l'intention que le Gouvernement est venu affirmer devant la commission, intention dont la commission a pris acte et qu'elle a recueillie et consignée dans le rapport que je viens de lire.\n\nVoilà pour le premier point.\n\nQuant à nos relations, avec la Chine, l'honorable M. Fournier a demandé avec raison qu'il n'y eût pas de rupture, qu'il n'y eût pas de refroidissement dans les rapports que nous entretenons avec cette puissance, et qu'au contraire on cherchât à reprendre les négociations. Je m'empresse de déclarer que le rapport en fait foi que la commission partage entièrement le sentiment de notre honorable collègue et qu'elle a demandé à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères de vouloir bien lui faire connaître, de la manière la plus précise, la plus explicite, ses dispositions à ce sujet. M. le ministre des affaires étrangères nous a répondu que tout son désir est de maintenir les bons rapports avec la Chine et de reprendre les pourparlers.\n\nIl y a seulement un point que M. le ministre des affaires étrangères et la commission partagent entièrement sa manière de voir à cet égard: c'est la reconnaissance de la suzeraineté de la Chine sur l'empire d'Annam. (Approbation sur un grand nombre de bancs): car vous n'ignorez pas, messieurs, qu'on ne manquerait pas de vouloir étendre ce prétendu droit de suzeraineté à tout l'ancien territoire de l'empire d'Annam, c'est-à-dire à la Cochinchine elle-même, et l'on pourrait un jour venir contester notre possession à la faveur des premiers embarras extérieurs que nous rencontrerions. C'est un point sur lequel nous ne devons, nous ne pouvons pas transiger; mais, à part cela, tout nous commande de conserver des relations amicales avec la Chine et de chercher avec elle un terrain d'entente.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères nous a déclaré qu'il avait invité notre ancien ministre à Pékin à demeurer à son poste jusqu'à l'arrivée de son successeur, et qu'il avait fait choix pour le remplacer d'un agent placé à la tête d'une de nos missions de l'extrême-Orient, ce qui lui permet de ne pas tarder à arriver à Pékin, où il doit être déjà débarqué à l'heure où nous sommes; cet agent, M. Tricon, ministre de France au Japon, est un diplomate d'une expérience consommée dans les affaires des pays d'Orient. Le ministre lui a adressé, par les voies les plus rapides, des instructions entièrement conciliantes dont l'esprit a été indiqué à la commission; ces instructions invitent notre nouvel envoyé à s'entendre avec la Chine et à reprendre des négociations avec elle, à entrer en conversation, en pourparlers afin de l'amener à des arrangements commerciaux, à des conventions de bon voisinage pouvant à la fois donner des avantages et à la France et à la Chine.\n\nVoilà pour le second point.\n\nL'honorable M. Fournier et l'honorable M. Lambert de Sainte-Croix ont aussi fait allusion au rejet du traité qu'avait préparé M. Bourée. Ce traité, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a bien voulu, sur la demande de la commission, lui en donner connaissance à titre confidentiel.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nministre des affaires étrangères nous a affirmé qu'il ferait tous ses efforts, qu'il les faisait dès à présent, pour ne pas laisser se dénouer nos bons rapports avec le cabinet de Pékin et pour entrer dans de nouveaux pourparlers de nature à amener un arrangement satisfaisant entre les deux puissances. (Très bien, très bien à gauche et au centre.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty, de sa place. Vous avez oublié de répondre à M. Fournier sur la question de la direction militaire; veuillez remarquer cela, monsieur le rapporteur! (Bruit.)\n\nA gauche, Lisez le rapport! Cela viendra plus tard.\n\nM. le rapporteur. La commission ayant effacé l'article 2, je crois être dispensé de répondre à la question que vient de faire M. de Lareinty. (Très bien! très bien! à gauche.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Mais si, puisque qu'elle a maintenu par son approbation...(Bruit et interruptions à gauche.)\n\nJe demande la parole.\n\n25 Mai [SÉNAT]\n\n547\n\nM. le président. Le Gouvernement peut le maintenir.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Il y a confusion; la commission ne présente plus que deux articles.\n\nM. le président. La commission n'ayant pas déclaré que le Gouvernement abandonnait l'article 2, je suis obligé de poser la question au Gouvernement. (Bruit.)\n\nM. le rapporteur. Alors le Gouvernement s'expliquera.\n\nM. Challemel Lacour, ministre des affaires étrangères. Messieurs, le Sénat me permettra sans doute de lui présenter, en peu de mots, les considérations pour lesquelles nous sommes décidés à envoyer au Tonkin un commissaire général civil et pour lesquelles nous avions accepté la proposition faite par la commission de la Chambre des députés d'introduire l'article 2 dans le projet de loi qui est discuté en ce moment.\n\nCe n'est pas, messieurs, sans avoir recueilli les opinions d'un grand nombre de personnes qui connaissent la situation du Tonkin et parmi elles, de plusieurs officiers de la marine et de l'armée, que nous avons pris cette décision. Ces personnes ont été, je puis le dire, unanimes pour reconnaître les avantages et même la nécessité de la combinaison à laquelle nous nous sommes arrêtés.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. de Lareinty.\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Messieurs, je ne comptais nullement prendre la parole; je savais que la commission, s'inspirant des votes qui lui avaient été donnés, avait purement et simplement repoussé l'article 2. J'ai vu avec un très grand regret qu'après ce refus de l'article 2, la commission avait donné son approbation à la nomination d'un commissaire général civil au Tonkin.\n\nMessieurs, le jour où vous avez nommé votre commission dans les bureaux, vous l'avez fait, je crois, parce que ses membres vous inspirent confiance. (Marques nombreuses d'assentiment.)\n\nEh bien, quand elle vient vous déclarer, par la voix de son rapporteur, que ce traité ne peut pas être publié sans inconvénient, et qu'il contient des clauses inacceptables, je pense que le Sénat reconnaîtra qu'il doit s'en rapporter à cette affirmation; il sera persuadé, je l'espère, que la commission n'a émis cet avis, cette conclusion, qu'après un sérieux examen de ce document, et que le langage qu'elle tient ici lui est dicté par une conviction réfléchie et absolue. (Très bien! très bien! à gauche et au centre.)\n\nOn a parlé d'une première approbation donnée au traité, et d'un désaveu qui serait intervenu ensuite.\n\nL'explication est bien simple. L'approbation dont on a parlé n'était pas, en réalité, une adhésion à la convention acceptée par M. Bourée; c'était plutôt une autorisation de continuer les négociations. Quand elle est intervenue, le traité n'était pas connu. Le télégramme qu'avait reçu le ministère des affaires étrangères, n'en donnait pas une idée exacte; il ne mentionnait pas les clauses que le Gouvernement a considérées comme inadmissibles et que la commission, à son tour, jugeant en son âme et conscience, a reconnu inacceptables pour la France.\n\nVoilà, messieurs, ce que j'avais à répondre sur la question soulevée par notre honorable collègue M. Fournier. Je résume ma réponse pour la rendre plus précise encore; d'après les renseignements donnés par le Gouvernement, notre action au Tonkin doit se borner à assurer l'exécution du traité de 1874, complétée et précisée. Nous cherchons même à y arriver par une dernière tentative d'entente avec l'empereur d'Annam; c'est là le but de la mission de M. de Champeaux. Nous voulons, en un mot, nous efforcer d'éviter, dans la limite du possible, les opérations militaires et les actes d'hostilité.\n\nà un principe qu'elle devait repousser, c'est-à-dire la direction des opérations par un gouverneur civil.\n\nEh bien, je ne comprends pas cette nomination quand la commission s'est engagée vis-à-vis de ceux qui l'ont nommée, à repousser le gouverneur civil.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à gauche. C'est une erreur. La preuve?\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. La preuve, c'est que la commission a repoussé l'article 2. Il ne peut pas y en avoir de meilleure. Or, après avoir repoussé l'article 2, c'est-à-dire le principe, elle vient déclarer qu'elle est favorable au gouverneur civil.\n\nEh bien, je me joins à mon honorable collègue M. Fournier pour prier le Sénat de vouloir bien conserver cette disposition, qu'il est absolument nécessaire pour les opérations militaires, et pour sauvegarder nos soldats et l'honneur de la France, de maintenir à l'autorité militaire la direction des opérations. (Très bien! très bien! à droite.)\n\nM. le président. Personne ne demandant la parole pour la discussion générale, je consulte le Sénat sur la question de savoir s'il entend passer à la discussion des articles.\n\nIl n'y a pas d'opposition?\n\nJe donne lecture de l'article 1er:\n\nArt. 1. — Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de 5,300,000 fr. qui sera classé à la 2e section, Service colonial, chapitre 9, service du Tonkin.\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\n(L'article 1er, mis aux voix, est adopté.)\n\nM. le président. Le Gouvernement maintient-il l'article 2?\n\nM. le rapporteur. Cet article n'existe plus.\n\nJe ne crains pas de le déclarer au Sénat, nous avons voulu, en envoyant un commissaire civil au Tonkin, prendre certaines garanties contre de généreux, mais dangereux entraînements. Je l'ai déjà dit à la Chambre des députés, et je n'hésite point à le répéter devant le Sénat, bien persuadé que personne n'attribuera notre résolution à une injustice.\n\nNous connaissons nos officiers, nous savons ce qu'ils valent. Nous savons que nous pouvons, en général, nous fier autant à leur prudence qu'à leur intrépidité.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à droite, Eh bien alors?\n\nM. le ministre. Mais, c'est cependant, il faut bien le reconnaître, un fait constant et un fait inévitable que, lorsque l'autorité politique et l'autorité militaire se trouvent réunies dans la même main et que cette main est celle d'un soldat, il est à craindre que les considérations politiques, quelque puissantes qu'elles puissent être, ne soient parfois sacrifiées aux considérations militaires et que les hommes habitués à l'action ne connaissent guère que l'action pour trancher toutes les difficultés. (Bruit et exclamations à droite.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Un soldat obéit aux instructions tout aussi bien qu'un commissaire général civil!\n\nM. le ministre. Nous n'avons point eu la pensée de faire un commandant civil de nos forces de terre et de mer. Nous n'avons pas songé à rien créer d'analogue à nos commissaires près des armées, du temps de la Convention!\n\nM. le général Robert, Mais cela y est!\n\nM. le ministre.

L'expédition faite dans la province de Nam-Dinh est terminée. Les rebelles, commandés par le De-Doc, ont été entièrement dispersés en éprouvant des pertes considérables. Leur chef, blessé, s'est réfugié à Bac-Ninh.\n\nLes colonnes mobiles qui ont parcouru la province de Son-Tay ont également dispersé les bandes ennemies en leur tuant quatre ou cinq cents hommes. Sur les côtes du Tonkin, le Parseval a détruit l'établissement des pirates chinois aux îles Gow-Tow et à Fou Taï-Moon, en leur tuant et blessant beaucoup de monde.\n\nA Hoé, les dispositions paraissent excellentes. Le roi a désigné deux plénipotentiaires pour assister le commandant en chef dans la pacification du pays. Notre résident en Annam est satisfait du choix de ces personnages. Ils se rendent par terre au Tonkin, afin de faire cesser les troubles qui agitent encore les provinces de Than Hoa et de Ngé-Han. A Bac-Ninh, il y a mésintelligence entre les troupes chinoises et annamites.\n\nLe gouverneur de la Cochinchine télégraphie de Saigon, à la date du 8 février : L'enquête faite au Cambodge à la suite de l'assassinat de M. Bruel a établi la culpabilité des pirates commandés par Sivotha. Deux villages frontière, dont la participation au crime a été rendue évidente, ont été rasés par ordre des autorités cambodgiennes.\n\nLes deux ministres plénipotentiaires envoyés à l'amiral Courbet pour aider à la pacification du pays sont le ministre des travaux publics de l'Annam et le secrétaire du conseil. Les deux ambassadeurs envoyés autrefois par l'Annam auprès du gouvernement chinois sont revenus très désillusionnés. Le général Millot arrivera le 10 février au Tonkin.\n\n1. Le Mytho est parti le 7 de Singapore pour le Tonkin. Le Saint-Germain part aujourd'hui de Singapore pour la même destination.\n\n## Metadata\nREGD 14 FEB 84\nRCCP 0. 2542\nin Lord Lyon. 1.74.\nDuplicate Inclosure 2\nCol office `XCR(85)72` is not present in the text, hence not included. \n\nPage numbering is not explicitly mentioned; however, \"38-\" is present at the top, potentially indicating a page number.",

(Signed) **LYONS**.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"**Journal Officiel**\" of May 13, 1884.\n\nParis, le 12 Mai, 1884.\n\nC'EST hier, 11 Mai, à 5 heures du soir, que le Vice-Roi de Petchili, muni des pleins pouvoirs de la Cour de Pékin, et le Commandant Fournier, qui avait reçu, trois jours avant, les pleins pouvoirs du Gouvernement de la République, ont signé à Tien-tsin une Convention en quatre Articles, qui met fin au différend existant entre la France et la Chine.\n\nPar l'Article Ier la France s'engage à respecter et à protéger, s'il en est besoin, les frontières sud de la Chine limitrophes du Tonkin.\n\nDe son côté, la Chine, rassurée sur l'intégrité et la sécurité de ses frontières sud, s'engage à retirer immédiatement, à l'intérieur des dites frontières, toutes les garnisons Chinoises du Tonkin. Elle s'engage, en outre, \"à respecter dans le présent et dans l'avenir les Traités directement faits et à faire entre la France et la Cour d'Annam\" (Article II).\n\nL'Article III porte \"qu'en reconnaissance de l'attitude conciliante de la Chine, et pour rendre hommage à la sagesse patriotique de son Excellence Li dans la négociation de cette Convention, la France renonce à demander une indemnité à la Chine.\"\n\nCelle-ci s'oblige, en retour, à admettre sur toute l'étendue de la frontière sud limitrophe du Tonkin la liberté du trafic des marchandises \"entre l'Annam et la France, d'une part, et la Chine, de l'autre.\" Il sera conclu à cet effet un Traité de Commerce et de Tarif \"dans l'esprit le plus conciliant de la part des négociateurs Chinois, et dans des conditions aussi avantageuses que possible pour le commerce Français.\"\n\nEnfin, aussitôt la Convention signée, les deux Gouvernements nommeront leurs Plénipotentiaires, qui se réuniront dans le délai de trois mois, pour traiter définitivement sur les bases ainsi arrêtées.\n\nLe négociateur Français a dîné hier chez le Vice-Roi; Li-Hong-Chang dîne aujourd'hui au Consulat de France, qui a été pavoisé aux couleurs Françaises et Chinoises, et qui sera illuminé toute la soirée.\n\nL'Amiral Lespès est parti pour Tien-tsin avec un des navires de sa division. Aussitôt son arrivée, le Commandant Fournier partira pour la France, porteur de l'instrument original de la Convention.\n\n[1474]",

        "content_text": "# \n\ndésirait que cette Convention pût recevoir, sans aucun retard, l'approbation des deux Gouvernements; le Commandant Fournier demandait, à cet effet, des pleins pouvoirs.\n\n\"La question se posait devant nous dans les termes les plus clairs et les plus catégoriques de la part de la Chine, l'évacuation immédiate du Tonkin dans toute l'étendue de ses frontières naturelles, la promesse de respecter dans le présent et dans l'avenir les Traités directement faits et à faire entre la France et la Cour d'Annam, l'engagement solennel d'ouvrir au libre trafic entre la France et l'Annam d'un côté et la Chine de l'autre toute la frontière méridionale de la Chine limitrophe du Tonkin, c'est-à-dire les trois provinces du Yünnan, du Quang-Si, et du Quang-Tong, et de régler sur cette frontière la liberté des échanges et les Tarifs de Douanes dans les conditions les plus profitables au commerce Français. Ces avantages considérables seraient-ils trop chèrement achetés de la part de la France par la renonciation à une indemnité pécuniaire, dont le principe n'était, d'ailleurs, ni contestable ni contesté ?\n\n\"Une satisfaction en argent aurait-elle, aux yeux du pays, plus de prix qu'un Traité de bon voisinage, une alliance commerciale et politique, ne laissant derrière elle ni humiliation, ni amertume, en livrant à nos productions, à l'étroit dans l'ancien monde, des débouchés inattendus ?\n\nNous ne l'avons pas pensé, et sur l'heure nous envoyions au Commandant Fournier les pleins pouvoirs du Gouvernement de la République, sous la seule condition de s'assurer, avant d'en faire usage, de la ratification préalable du Gouvernement Chinois. “Le 9 Mai, le Commandant Fournier télégraphie de Tien-tsin, à 5 h, 45 m, du soir :- \"Je remercie le Gouvernement de la confiance qu'il me témoigne. Le Vice-Roi me charge de vous transmettre ses remerciements pour l'empressement que votre Excellence a mis à approuver la Convention dans les termes mêmes où elle avait été arrêtée entre nous. Nous avons immédiatement demandé en termes pressants, par courrier extraordinaire, à la Cour de Pékin, son approbation définitive, en la priant de nous autoriser à signer dans le plus bref délai possible.' \n\n\"Le 10 Mai, 11 heures 23 du matin, M. Fournier écrit :— \"Tout sera terminé demain soir à 4 heures.\n\n\"Et, en effet, le 11 Mai, à 5 heures du soir, les deux Plénipotentiaires signaient la Convention, après s'être réciproquement communiqué leurs pleins pouvoirs.\n\n\"Voici cet acte, avec son préambule, et dans toute sa teneur, tel que le télégraphe nous l'a transmis : \n\n\"**Le Gouvernement de la République Française et Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine** voulant, au moyen d'une Convention préliminaire, dont les dispositions serviront de bases à un Traité définitif, mettre un terme à la crise qui affecte gravement aujourd'hui la tranquillité publique et le mouvement général des affaires, rétablir sans retard et assurer à jamais les relations de bon voisinage et d'amitié qui doivent exister entre les deux nations, ont nommé pour leurs Plénipotentiaires respectifs, savoir — \n\n| Puissance | Plénipotentiaire |\n| --- | --- |\n| Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine | S. Son Excellence Li-Hong-Tchang, grand tuteur présomptif du fils de Sa Majesté Empereur, Premier Secrétaire d'État, Vice-Roi du Tchili, noble héréditaire de première classe, du troisième rang; |\n| Le Gouvernement de la République Française | M. Ernest-François Fournier, Capitaine de Frégate, Commandant l'éclaireur d'escadre le \"Volta,\" officier de la Légion d'Honneur; |\n\n\"Lesquels, après avoir échangé leurs pleins pouvoirs, trouvés en bonne et due forme, sont convenus des Articles suivants :— \n\n## Article 1\n\"La France s'engage à respecter et à protéger contre toute attaque d'une nation quelconque, et en toutes circonstances, les frontières sud de la Chine limitrophes du Tonkin.\n\n## Article 2\n\"La Chine, rassurée par les garanties formelles de bon voisinage qui lui sont données par la France quant à l'intégralité et à la sécurité de ses frontières sud, s'engage à retirer immédiatement sur ses frontières toutes les garnisons Chinoises du Tonkin et à respecter, dans le présent et dans l'avenir, les Traités directement faits ou à faire entre la France et la Cour d'Annam.\n\n## Article 3\n\"Reconnaissante de l'attitude conciliante de la Chine et pour rendre hommage à la sagesse patriotique de son Excellence Li dans la négociation de cette Convention, la France renonce à demander une indemnité à la Chine. En retour, la Chine s'engage à admettre sur toute l'étendue de sa frontière sud limitrophe du Tonkin, la liberté du trafic des marchandises entre la France et l'Annam d'une part et la Chine de l'autre, à régler par un Traité de Commerce et de Tarifs à faire dans l'esprit le plus conciliant de la part des négociateurs Chinois et dans des conditions aussi avantageuses que possible pour le commerce Français.\n\n## Article 4\n\"Le Gouvernement Français s'engage à n'employer aucune expression de nature à porter atteinte au prestige de la Chine dans la rédaction du Traité définitif qu'il va contracter avec l'Annam et qui abroge les Traités antérieurs relatifs au Tonkin.\n\n## Article 5\n\"Dès que la présente Convention aura été signée, les deux Gouvernements nommeront leurs Plénipotentiaires, qui se réuniront dans le délai de trois mois pour traiter définitivement sur les bases ci-dessus arrêtées.\n\n\"Conformément aux usages diplomatiques, le texte Français fait foi.\n\n\"Fait à Tien-tsin le 11 Mai, 1884, le dix-septième jour de la quatrième lune de la dixième année de Quang-Sha, en quatre expéditions: deux en langue Française et deux en langue Chinoise, sur lesquelles les Plénipotentiaires respectifs ont signé et apposé le sceau de leurs armes. Chacun des Plénipotentiaires garde un exemplaire de chaque texte.\n\n\"Tel est le Traité de Tien-Tsin. C'est une Convention préparatoire à compléter par des négociations ultérieures, mais ferme dans toutes ses clauses exécutoires, et, nous pouvons le dire dès à présent, en voie d'exécution.\n\n\"Nous avons trouvé, en effet, chez l'homme d'État éminent qui exerce actuellement sur les destinées de la Chine une influence prépondérante et qui a porté dans cette négociation une netteté de vues et de résolution si remarquable, la volonté bien arrêtée d'exécuter promptement et loyalement ce qui avait été si vite et si bien conclu.\n\n\"Une dépêche du Commandant Fournier, datée du 18 Mai, nous fait connaître que le retrait des garnisons Chinoises du Tonkin s'opérera, en vertu d'un accord passé avec le Vice-Roi, du 6 au 26 Juin prochain, dans les termes suivants, dont le Commandant-en-chef du Corps Expéditionnaire a reçu communication.\n\n| Date | Événement |\n| --- | --- |\n| 6 Juin | Évacuation de Lang-Son, Cao-Bang, Chat-Khe, et de toutes les places du territoire du Tonkin adossées aux frontières du Quang-Tong et du Quang-Si; |\n| 26 Juin | Évacuation de Lao-Kaï et de toutes les places du territoire du Tonkin adossées à la frontière du Yunnan. |\n\n\"De notre côté, nous avons déjà désigné, conformément à l'Article final de la Convention, nos Plénipotentiaires définitifs, et nous avons envoyé à M. Patenôtre, qui doit se trouver à Hué à la fin de ce mois, les instructions nécessaires pour donner satisfaction aux préoccupations particulières qui ont inspiré l'Article IV. La rédaction définitive du Traité du Hué ne contiendra, cela va de soi, aucune expression dont puissent s'émouvoir les susceptibilités de l'Empire du Milieu.\n\n\"Nous soumettons avec confiance toute cette négociation au jugement des Chambres et du pays. La France s'est toujours fait honneur de ne pas poursuivre ses victoires à l'extrême. Notre modération, hautement appréciée par l'opinion Européenne, nous assure la meilleure solution pour le présent, la plus grande somme de sécurité pour l'avenir.\"",

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nnotre protectorat sur le Cambodge, il était indispensable de rappeler succinctement l'historique de nos relations avec le royaume protégé.\n\nAu moment où nous commencions à prendre pied en Cochinchine, l'antique royaume des Khmers n'avait plus qu'une existence précaire et constamment menacée. Très puissant autrefois à l'époque où, sous le nom de Ciampa, il comprenait toute la Cochinchine française, l'Annam méridional jusqu'à Hué et le Cambodge augmenté de provinces aujourd'hui siamoises; riche et florissant dans ces temps reculés, témoins les admirables ruines des monuments d'Angkor; le royaume des Khmers semblait toucher, vers 1859, au dernier terme de la décadence. Pressé entre deux voisins plus puissants que lui, le Siam au nord et l'Annam au sud, foulé tour à tour par leurs armées, démembré, menacé d'absorption, il avait fini par reconnaître la double suzeraineté de Bangkok et de Hué. Le roi Ang-Duong, couronné en 1848 après une lutte acharnée dans laquelle les armées siamoises avaient soutenu sa cause, avait reçu l'investiture du monarque annamite et du monarque siamois.\n\nAng-Duong, en vue de se soustraire à la double sujétion qui pesait sur lui, eut un instant la pensée de faire appel à la protection de la France. Cette velléité n'eut pas de suites immédiates, les intrigues et les menaces de la cour de Siam ayant empêché le roi Ang-Duong de recevoir M. de Martigny, ministre plénipotentiaire, envoyé à Campot en 1855, par le gouvernement français, afin de répondre aux ouvertures faites auprès de notre consul à Bangkok par un mandarin cambodgien émissaire du roi.\n\nAng-Duong mourut à Oudong en 1860. Les troupes françaises occupaient déjà Saïgon. L'Annam, absorbé par son conflit contre nous, n'intervint pas au Cambodge, en cette circonstance. L'influence de Siam y fut dès lors exclusive et prépondérante. Le fils aîné du défunt roi Ang-Duong, Prea-ang-Vodey, qui adopta plus tard le nom de Norodom, reçut l'investiture siamoise et régna d'abord sans opposition sous la tutelle de la cour de Bangkok.\n\nNo 3482\n\nLe jeune roi, il n'avait que vingt-quatre ans, et était obbareach (second roi) depuis trois ans, après avoir été bonze à Siam durant quelques mois, ne tarda pas néanmoins à voir son autorité sérieusement ébranlée. Il avait deux frères. Le premier, Si-Savat, (l'obbareach actuel) était gardé à peu près comme otage à la cour de Bangkok; mais le second, Si-Votha, dévoré d'ambition, soutenu par des mandarins influents, ne tarda pas à se poser en compétiteur au trône de Norodom.\n\nUne rivalité de harem précipita la guerre entre les deux frères (1). Les partisans les plus zélés de Si-Votha, Snang-Sor et Juthéa, surnommé plus tard Rama, à la suite de ses exploits militaires, alliés l'un et l'autre de la famille royale, soulevèrent les provinces au commencement de 1861. Norodom, après des péripéties diverses, fut forcé de s'enfuir d'Oudong, alors capitale du Cambodge, et d'aller se réfugier à Siam.\n\nSa restauration ne s'effectua qu'en mars 1862, grâce au concours intéressé des Siamois et à quelques secours donnés par le gouverneur français de la Cochinchine. L'insurrection toutefois ne fut complètement étouffée qu'à la fin de cette même année 1862, après la mort de Rama et la capture de Snang-Sor. Quant au prétendant, Si-Votha, il avait réussi à se mettre en sûreté.\n\nC'est vers cette époque que M. l'amiral Bonnard, gouverneur de la Cochinchine, remonta, pour la première fois, le Mékong, à bord d'une canonnière et se mit en relations avec le jeune monarque restauré. Un court séjour à la cour d'Oudong suffit pour permettre à l'amiral de se convaincre que le général siamois, représentant de la cour de Bangkok, auprès de Norodom, était le véritable roi du Cambodge.\n\nDevenus limitrophes de ce royaume depuis notre établissement à Saigon, et substitués par le fait de la conquête aux anciens droits de co-suzeraineté de l'Annam sur le Cambodge,\n\n(1) Voir Moura, Le royaume de Cambodge.\n\n121",

Les marchandises enlevées, en quelque lieu et en quelque état qu'elles se trouvent, seront remises à leurs propriétaires ou, en leur absence, entre les mains de l'autorité cambodgienne, qui se chargera de les restituer. Si l'on ne pouvait s'emparer des coupables ni recouvrer la totalité des objets volés, les fonctionnaires français, après avoir prouvé qu'ils ont fait tous leurs efforts pour arriver à ce but, ne sauraient être rendus pécuniairement responsables. Il en sera de même pour tous les actes de pillage et de vol qui auraient été commis sur des propriétés de Cambodgiens habitant le territoire français. L'autorité française, après avoir prouvé qu'elle a fait tous ses efforts pour saisir les coupables et recouvrer la totalité des objets volés, ne saurait être rendue pécuniairement responsable.\n\n## Article 15\n\nLes missionnaires catholiques auront le droit de prêcher et d'enseigner. Ils pourront, avec l'autorisation du gouvernement cambodgien, construire des églises, des séminaires, des écoles, des hôpitaux, des couvents et autres édifices pieux sur tous les points du royaume du Cambodge.\n\n## Article 16\n\nS. M. l'empereur des Français, reconnaissant la souveraineté du Roi du Cambodge Som Dac Pra Norodomi Prom Boreraksa Pra Maha Abbarach, s'engage à maintenir dans ses États l'ordre et la tranquillité, à le protéger contre toute attaque extérieure, à l'aider dans la perception des droits de commerce, et à lui donner toute facilité pour établir une communication entre le Cambodge et la mer.\n\n## Article 17\n\nPour faciliter l'exécution des articles précédents, le gouverneur de la Cochinchine, désirant obtenir un terrain à l'endroit nommé Chung Chang Va, ou les Quatre-Bras, pour y construire un dépôt de charbon et des magasins d'approvisionnement pour les navires français, S. M. le Roi du Cambodge consent à donner ce terrain en amont de la partie réservée à l'extrême pointe, pour y construire un fort, le terrain concédé devant avoir quinze sens ou cinq cents mètres environ sur les deux rives. Si, sur ce terrain, se trouvait une pagode ou lieu consacré, on le respecterait.\n\nSi d'autres établissements devenaient nécessaires pour les besoins de la station française, le Roi examinerait la demande que lui en ferait le gouverneur de la Cochinchine, et l'accorderait aux mêmes conditions que la concession précédente.\n\n## Article 18\n\nEn reconnaissance de la protection que lui accorde S. M. l'Empereur des Français, S. M. le Roi du Cambodge concède à la France le droit de choisir, abattre, débiter, exploiter dans les forêts de son royaume les bois propres aux constructions de vaisseaux de la marine impériale. Les agents français chargés de cette exploitation devront en donner avis au grand mandarin cambodgien, qui leur délivrera les lettres et autorisations nécessaires. Toutefois, les frais d'exploitation restent à la charge du gouvernement français.\n\nLes Français qui commerceront au Cambodge devront débattre à l'amiable les prix d'achats avec les vendeurs.\n\n## Article 19\n\nLa présente convention ne sera valable et ne pourra être en vigueur qu'après avoir été ratifiée par S. M. l'Empereur des Français.\n\nEn foi de quoi S. M.

Les différences qui existent entre le taux de la piastre de Ninh Binh et celui d'Hanoi et d'Haïphong font que ces prix sont intérieurement à ceux de ces deux places. Les nombreux achats de boeufs faits dans le courant de ce mois ont élevé leur prix au Thanh Hoa et l'ont porté de 50 ligatures à 65 et 70 ligatures.\n\nL'industrie dans la province est fort peu développée, on ne peut guère signaler que dans le Phu Nho une fabrique de fers forgés, nécessaires à l'agriculture, et de lances. Les Muongs fabriquent eux-mêmes dans les montagnes des fusils à mèche de forme spéciale, mais en bien petit nombre et ne pouvant faire l'objet d'un commerce. Il en est de même de leurs soies (Pha Lao), peut-être d'une qualité supérieure à celle des Annamites et qu'ils ne semblent vouloir produire que pour les besoins de leur consommation.\n\nLe commerce du riz, le plus important de la province, se fait un peu à Ninh-Binh, mais surtout à Phat-Diem et à l'embouchure du Day. Ce dernier point me paraît appelé un jour à être l'un des points les plus importants du commerce au Tonkin et peut-être le grand port de l'avenir. Les jonques de mer si nombreuses qui font le cabotage entre toutes les côtes de l'Annam et le Tonkin, pénètrent dans les provinces du Delta où elles vont échanger leur sel et leur saumure contre le riz qui leur manque, par l'embouchure du Day où les agents des grands centres de commerce viennent acheter leur cargaison. D'un autre côté, c'est par cette voie seulement que pendant une partie de l'année les fortes canonnières peuvent remonter à Hanoi.

Aux États-Unis, notamment, de nombreux imprimés provenant de France tombent en rebut pour ce seul motif.\n\nIl est donc recommandé, dans leur propre intérêt, aux expéditeurs et plus particulièrement aux éditeurs de publications périodiques, de revêtir les journaux et imprimés à destination des pays d'outre-mer, de bandes larges et assez consistantes pour résister au frottement qui se produit dans le trajet. Les paquets pesants et volumineux doivent, en outre, être consolidés au moyen de ficelles disposées de manière à être facilement dénouées.\n\nEnfin, la reproduction, sur l'exemplaire même, de l'adresse que porte la bande ou enveloppe extérieure, peut être considérée comme une précaution utile.\n\n## SÉNAT \n\n**Séance ordinaire 1888**\n\nMM. les sénateurs sont informés que les obsèques de M.

Ce règlement sera élaboré par des commissaires qui seront nommés par les Hautes Parties contractantes dans un délai de trois mois après la signature du présent traité.\n\nLes marchandises faisant l'objet de ce commerce seront soumises, à l'entrée et à la sortie, entre le Tonkin et les provinces du Yunnan et du Kouang-Si, à des droits inférieurs à ceux que stipule le tarif actuel du commerce étranger. Toutefois, le tarif réduit ne sera pas appliqué aux marchandises transportées par la frontière terrestre entre le Tonkin et le Kouang-Tong et n'aura pas d'effet dans les ports déjà ouverts par les traités.\n\nArt. 7.\n\nEn vue de développer, dans les conditions les plus avantageuses, les relations de commerce et de bon voisinage que le présent traité a pour objet de rétablir entre la France et la Chine, le Gouvernement de la République construira des routes au Tonkin et y encouragera la construction des chemins de fer.\n\nLorsque, de son côté, la Chine aura décidé de construire des voies ferrées, il est entendu qu'elle s'adressera à l'industrie française, et le Gouvernement de la République française lui donnera toutes les facilités pour se procurer en France le personnel dont elle aura besoin. Il est entendu aussi que cette clause ne peut être considérée comme constituant un privilège exclusif en faveur de la France.\n\nLes stipulations commerciales du présent traité et les règlements à intervenir pourront être révisés après un intervalle de dix ans révolus, à partir du jour de l'échange des ratifications du présent traité. Mais, au cas où six mois avant ce terme, ni l'une ni l'autre des Hautes Parties contractantes n'aurait manifesté le désir de procéder à la révision, les stipulations commerciales resteraient en vigueur pour un nouveau terme de dix ans et ainsi de suite.\n\nArt. 10.\n\nLes dispositions des anciens traités et conventions entre la France et la Chine, non modifiées par le présent traité, restent en pleine vigueur.\n\nLa mission des plénipotentiaires chargés de négocier l'arrangement, prévu par le traité du 9 juin 1885, se trouvait nettement déterminée par les articles que nous venons de citer. Il ne devait pas être touché aux dispositions qui régissent nos relations avec la Chine dans les ports de l'Empire ouverts au commerce étranger, mais des dispositions analogues, appropriées aux conditions du commerce par terre, devaient être adoptées, en ce qui concerne les rapports à établir entre le Tonkin et les provinces chinoises limitrophes, et il était entendu que le tarif applicable à nos échanges avec le Yunnan et le Kouang-Si serait inférieur à celui qui est en vigueur dans les ports ouverts. Il s'agissait, d'autre part, de fixer le régime auquel seraient soumis les Chinois en Annam et les Annamites en Chine.\n\nAinsi que vous le verrez, Messieurs, ces diverses questions ont été réglées dans la convention du 23 avril 1886. Le préambule de cet acte rappelle, d'ailleurs, que les anciens traités, accords et conventions conclus entre la France et la Chine...\n\n2",

Nous avons obtenu une réduction d'un cinquième sur le tarif du commerce étranger, pour les produits qui pénètreront dans l'Empire par cette voie : nos commerçants n'auront donc à supporter qu'un droit d'entrée de 4 0/0 de la valeur, pour tous les articles dénommés dans le tarif général de la Chine, c'est-à-dire pour les principaux produits étrangers importés dans ce pays. \n\nConformément à ses instructions, le plénipotentiaire français avait demandé une réduction d'un tiers, afin que les produits qui entreront en Chine par le Tonkin fussent, en matière de tarif, placés dans des conditions de complète égalité avec ceux que la Russie importe par la frontière septentrionale de l'Empire. Mais la Chine a fait valoir que la voie du Tonkin étant beaucoup plus courte, les marchandises qui l'emprunteraient seraient grevés de frais de transport beaucoup moins lourds que les produits importés par les caravanes russes. La différence entre les droits réclamés à la frontière nord et ceux fixés pour la frontière sud sera d'ailleurs de moins de 1 0/0 (0.66 0/0). La Chine a, au surplus, consenti, ainsi qu'on le verra plus loin, à nous concéder éventuellement le bénéfice des nouveaux tarifs qu'elle pourrait accorder à une tierce puissance sur sa frontière du sud-ouest, par exemple du côté de la Birmanie, dont la situation géographique, par rapport à l'Empire, n'est pas sans analogie avec celle du Tonkin. \n\nEn ce qui concerne les articles non dénommés au tarif chinois du commerce étranger, le droit reste fixé à 5 0/0 pour la voie du Tonkin comme pour la voie russe. \n\nToutes les marchandises importées dans les localités ouvertes resteront entreposées en douane jusqu'à ce que les droits d'entrée aient été payés. \n\nIndépendamment de ces droits, on sait qu'il est perçu sur les routes de Chine, sous le nom de droit de barrière et de droit de likin, des taxes fort onéreuses. D'après les règlements généraux du commerce maritime étranger, les marchandises accompagnées d'un permis de circulation appelé passe de transit doivent être affranchies de ces taxes intérieures, mais la délivrance des passes entraîne la perception d'un droit de circulation ou de transit qui représente 2 1/2 0/0 de la valeur. Les produits qui seront envoyés dans l'intérieur de l'empire par les localités ouvertes au commerce de terre auront à payer également un droit de 2 1/2 0/0 : à cette condition, ils pourront circuler librement en Chine et il est expressément stipulé qu'aucune perception nouvelle ne sera faite au passage des barrières et des bureaux de likin. \n\nLe régime des passes de transit n'est d'ailleurs pas obligatoire: les négociants peuvent, s'ils le préfèrent, choisir le régime indigène, et ils y trouvent avantage lorsqu'ils n'ont à envoyer leurs marchandises qu'à une courte distance. \n\nDes dispositions analogues sont insérées dans l'article 7, en ce qui concerne la circulation des produits expédiés de l'intérieur de la Chine à destination du Tonkin. Mais, à la sortie du territoire chinois, ces marchandises bénéficieront d'un régime de faveur : la Chine a consenti à réduire d'un tiers le droit de 5 0/0 qu'elles auraient à supporter, si elles empruntaient la voie des ports ouverts. Les produits que nous importerons au Tonkin par la frontière de terre ne seront, en conséquence, soumis qu'à un droit de sortie de 3,33 0/0 de la valeur. Cette concession présente un réel intérêt pour notre commerce, nos achats de matières premières en Chine dépassant annuellement 78 millions de francs. \n\nEnfin, la clause finale de l'article 7 nous réserve la faculté de réclamer le bénéfice des nouveaux tarifs que la Chine, \n\n1.

        "content_text": "## 433\n\nAt all events, whatever may be the merits of the proposal, it would be a perfectly legitimate one to lay before the Chinese Government, and now that the French negotiations are over, I will seek a favourable opportunity of submitting to them the suggestion contained in the Earl of Iddesleigh's instruction No. 324, **Confidential**, of the 22nd December last.\n\nSuch an opportunity may present itself during the discussion on the subject of opening the port of Chungking, to trade under the conditions set forth in the Chefoo Agreement.\n\nFrom a conversation I recently had with the Ministers of the Yamên, I am in hopes that they will not object to an attempt being made to reach Chungking by steamer.\n\nIf the Additional Convention, and, consequently, the previous Convention of the 25th April are ratified, France will be entitled to name Consuls at the places opened to French trade in the frontier provinces, and also, so soon as China is permitted to appoint similar officers at Hanoi and Haiphong, in Tonquin, at the capitals of Yunnan and Kwang-si.\n\nThe question of whether or not Her Majesty's Government would be in a position to claim like privileges under the most-favoured-nation clause of our Treaties with China, formed the subject of your Lordship's despatch to Mr. O'Conor of the 31st July, 1885.\n\nThe VIIth Article of the Tien-tsin Treaty of the 26th June, 1858, enables Great Britain to appoint Consuls at the ports and cities of China open to foreign trade, and unless it can be satisfactorily shown that the most-favoured-nation clause would apply to privileges conceded to a third Power, irrespectively of the Treaties which, like our own, that Power might have with China in respect of the open ports, it might, perhaps, be difficult to claim similar privileges under the clause. Had France, for instance, obtained under one of her old Treaties the right to appoint Consuls in the interior of China, we could certainly have claimed an equal right to do so. But, in the present case, the appointment of Consuls by France in the provinces bordering on Tonquin has special reference to a border trade Treaty, and not to the open port Treaties.\n\nUnder our recent Convention with China on the Burmah and Thibet questions, I do not for a moment suppose that, when it comes to be formally executed, China would contest our right to appoint Consuls in Chinese provinces adjoining our possessions.\n\nAlthough nothing is said in the Additional Convention of the intention of the French to retire from the Paklung territory in return for the further concessions now made by China to France, they will do so on the exchange of ratifications. The Boundary Commissions have all been withdrawn, as the frontier is now considered as having been finally traced. I presume that the line between Tonquin and the Province of Kwangtung must have been settled in accordance with the wishes of the Chinese Government, as explained in the notes to the sketch I have inclosed.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**JOHN WALSHAM**\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n**Sketch**\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Additional Convention between France and China.

        "content_text": "# Convention Between China and France\n\nRang, Président du Tsung-li Yamên, assisté de son Excellence Soun Yu-ouen, Premier Vice-Président du Ministère des Travaux Publics;\n\nLesquels, après s'être communiqué leurs pleins pouvoirs, qu'ils ont reconnu en bonne et due forme, sont convenus des Articles suivants :--\n\n## ARTICLE I\n\nLe Traité signé à Tien-tsin le 25 Avril, 1886, sera, immédiatement après l'échange des ratifications, fidèlement mis à exécution dans toutes ses clauses, sauf, bien entendu, celles que la présente Convention a pour but de modifier.\n\n## ARTICLE II\n\nEn exécution de l'Article Ier du Traité du 25 Avril, 1886, il est convenu entre les Hautes Parties Contractantes que la ville de Long-tchéou au Kouang-si et celle de Mong-tsen au Yunnan sont ouvertes au commerce Franco-Annamite. Il est entendu, en outre, que Man-hao, qui se trouve sur la route fluviale de Lao-kai à Mong-tsen, est ouvert au commerce comme Long-tchéou et Mong-tsen, et que le Gouvernement Français aura le droit d'y entretenir un Agent relevant du Consul de cette dernière ville.\n\n## ARTICLE III\n\nEn vue de développer le plus rapidement possible le commerce entre la Chine et le Tonkin, les droits d'importation et d'exportation stipulés dans les Articles VI et VII du Traité du 25 Avril, 1886, sont provisoirement modifiés ainsi qu'il suit :-\n\n| Category | Modification |\n| --- | --- |\n| Les marchandises étrangères importées en Chine par les villes ouvertes | auront à acquitter le droit du Tarif Général de la Douane Maritime diminué des trois dixièmes. |\n| Les marchandises Chinoises exportées au Tonkin | paieront le droit d'exportation du dit Tarif Général diminué des quatre dixièmes. |\n\n## ARTICLE IV\n\nLes produits d'origine Chinoise qui auront acquitté les droits d'importation conformément au paragraphe 1 de l'Article XI du Traité du 25 Avril, 1886, et seront transportés à travers le Tonkin vers un port Annamite seront soumis, à la sortie de ce port, s'ils sont à destination d'un autre pays que la Chine, au droit d'exportation fixé par le Tarif des Douanes Franco-Annamites.\n\n## ARTICLE V\n\nLe Gouvernement Chinois autorise l'exportation de l'opium indigène au Tonkin par la frontière de terre, moyennant un droit d'exportation de 20 taels par picul, ou 100 livres Chinoises. Les Français et protégés Français ne pourront acheter l'opium qu'à Long-tchéou, Mong-tsen, et Man-hao. Les droits de li-kin et de barrière que les commerçants indigènes auront à payer sur ce produit ne dépasseront pas 20 taels par picul.\n\nLes commerçants Chinois qui auront apporté l'opium de l'intérieur remettront à l'acheteur en même temps que la marchandise, les reçus constatant que le li-kin a été intégralement acquitté, et l'acheteur présentera ces reçus à la Douane, qui les annulera au moment où il effectuera le paiement du droit d'exportation.\n\nIl est entendu que cet opium, dans le cas où il rentrerait en Chine, soit par la frontière de terre, soit par un des ports ouverts, ne pourra être assimilé aux produits d'origine Chinoise réimportés.\n\n## ARTICLE VI\n\nLes bateaux Français et Annamites, à l'exception des bâtiments de guerre et des navires employés au transport de troupes, d'armes, ou de munition de guerre, pourront circuler de Lang-son à Cao-bang et réciproquement, en passant par les rivières (Song-ki-kong et la rivière de Cao-bang) qui relient Lang-son à Long-tchéou et Long-tchéou à Cao-bang.\n\nIl sera prélevé sur ces bateaux, pour chaque parcours, un droit de tonnage de cinq centièmes de taels par tonneau, mais les marchandises composant le chargement n'auront à acquitter aucun droit.\n\nLes marchandises à destination de Chine pourront être transportées par les rivières dont il est question dans le paragraphe 1 du présent Article aussi bien que par les routes de terre et notamment par la route mandarinale qui conduit de Lang-son à Long-tchéou; mais, jusqu'au jour où le Gouvernement Chinois aura établi un poste de douane à la frontière, les marchandises qui passeront par ces routes de terre ne pourront être vendues qu'après avoir acquitté les droits à Long-tchéou.\n\n## ARTICLE VII\n\nIl est entendu que la France jouira de plein droit, et sans qu'il soit besoin de négociations préalables, de tous les privilèges et immunités, de quelque nature qu'ils soient, et de tous les avantages commerciaux qui pourraient être accordés dans la suite à la nation la plus favorisée par des Traités et Conventions ayant pour objet le réglement des rapports politiques ou commerciaux entre la Chine et les pays situés au sud et au sud-ouest de l'Empire Chinois.\n\n## ARTICLE VIII\n\nAyant arrêté d'un commun accord les dispositions ci-dessus, les Plénipotentiaires ont apposé leurs signatures et leurs sceaux sur deux exemplaires du texte Français de la présente Convention ainsi que sur la traduction Chinoise qui accompagne chacun de ces exemplaires.\n\n## ARTICLE IX\n\nLes stipulations de la présente Convention Additionnelle seront mises en vigueur, comme si elles étaient insérées dans le texte même du Traité du 25 Avril, 1886, à partir du jour de l'échange des ratifications des dits Traité et Convention.\n\n## ARTICLE X\n\nLa présente Convention sera ratifiée dès à présent par Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine et dès qu'elle aura été ratifiée par le Président de la République Française l'échange des ratifications aura lieu à Pékin.\n\nFait à Pékin, le 26 Juin, 1887.\n\n## Annexe\n\n(Signé)\n\nCONSTANS. Prince KING. SOUN.\n\nDans une lettre officielle en date du 23 Juin, 1887, le Gouvernement Chinois s'engage à ajourner la nomination de Consuls dans les principales villes du Tonkin jusqu'au jour où la France et la Chine estimeront que les circonstances permettent de les établir.\n\nIl est entendu, en outre, que lorsque le Gouvernement Chinois établira des Consuls à Hanoi et à Haiphong, le Gouvernement Français pourra en nommer dans les capitales des Provinces du Yünnan et du Kouang-si,\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nExtract from the \"Revue Internationale\" of October 9, 1886.\n\n### LA DÉLIMITATION DE LA FRONTIÈRE DU TONKIN\n\nLe village de Binki borde la rive droite du Song-ki-kung qui a environ 60 mètres à cet endroit; un bac permet de traverser la rivière; la rive gauche est couronnée de forts barrant la route de Long-tchéou. En avant de ces forts de petites maisons carrées en briques peintes en blanc servent d'avancées au camp Chinois; enfin, en amont de Binki un barrage complète la défense du Song-ki-kung.\n\nPar cette rivière on met à peine un jour pour descendre à Long-tchéou. Aussi trouve-t-on à Binki des sampans et des radeaux formant des maisons flottantes comme on en voit sur la rivière de Canton.\n\nDe la frontière du Tonkin à Long-tchéou et de là par la rivière de Canton et la mer on a donc une voie navigable à sa disposition, ce qui est fort important à retenir.\n\nPage 628\nPage 437",

        "content_text": "## ADDINGTON PARK, CROYDON.\n20 Jan 1888.\n\nMy dear Dan and Knutsford,\n\nI was glad to receive your letter and to hear that you are both well. I have written to the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul regarding the staffing of the hospital at Hong Kong. I pointed out that the present staff is unsatisfactory and that they should arrange for French or Italian sisters, as they speak English fluently.\n\nListers are on the spot and would answer at once. I also mentioned that we are very well informed at Shanghai, and in spite of the language difficulty, I see that they do not speak English. Sir Bowell said of them in Singapore, \"he had better go to this source, by which they will speak English fluently.\"\n\nI have applied for a copy of the report on the hospital at Hong Kong with the existing staff. I am told that the formal application should be made to the authorities, but I will communicate with Sir Francis Smith on the subject.\n\nHe might be able to supply a constant and reasonable supply of capable nurses on practical terms, rather than sending them direct from Europe. The last hospital report is referenced as `11275/88`, and other related documents are `7161.85 Straits` and `5083.85`, etc. I have also come across references `C.PL. 10. Rug` and `Rm 1070`.\n\nI hope this communication will be effective in bringing about a change in the staffing of the hospital.\n\nPage",

A great amount of trouble has been taken by him and he has a fair notion of what he has to expect in the way of pension.\n\nThis letter was written to me as Sir R. Herbert's private Secretary.\n\nShall I write back to say that he must now decide either to go back or not, irrespective of the exact amount of pension; that in his case, as in that of an ordinary Officer, he would be called upon to decide before D: Gage Brown & would not be given any option of retiring according to the amount of half pension; and that he cannot say what extension of half pay for leave will be given for the consideration of his pension, when eventually he may not retire at all.\n\n## C.PL. 7 July\n\nI think Sir G. Philippo should be told that he cannot have a \"special\" pension, but that his case will be treated as liberally as consistent with the minutes of the particular Stores in which he has served, and the general practice of this Department; that as far as can be reckoned here, that pension will be about £800 in addition to the claim he has on half-pay; that he should elect whether to take leave without pay from 1 October, or to retire on that pension from the same date. A pension from the same date.\n\n[Sir G. Philippo has misunderstood the manner by which the £855 was arrived at; & I carefully guarded.]",

Phillipps has made claims for 24 years' service, 2/3 of his salary there, which would give him £83.6.0. If from Hongkong, his claim would be for 2 1/2 sixtieths in respect of his service as Attorney General & 12/60ths in respect of that as Chief Justice; this would give him £604.3.4; or £797.10.0 in all, in addition to his old claim on Canada. On this way, a year's service at the Straits of 5/120ths of his salary there, which would give him, I believe, about £110. His claim on Gibraltar allows for proportionate additions.

        "content_text": "THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\nbase, ovate acuminate and usually coarsely dentate. When bruised they emit a fetid odour. The flowers are as a rule white, although specimens may frequently be seen of a distinct yellow colour; corolla infundibuliform, from 3 to 5 inches long; calyx about 2 inches long. The sub-globose capsules are about 1.3 inches in diameter, and rest upon the enlarged flat persistent base of the calyx; they are armed with a number of spines, and split irregularly when ripe. The seeds, which do not appear to be used by the Chinese, are ear-shaped and of a yellowish-brown colour.\n\nThe dried flowers, in bundles of various sizes, are the only part of the plant sold by the native druggists. The fresh herb may frequently be seen on the herbalist's stall. The dried flowers weigh on an average four grains each.\n\nHABITAT. This species grows in waste places about villages on the island of Hong Kong, and exhibits a special liking for ground in close proximity to a ruined building. On Stone Cutter's Island, under the walls of the old prison, specimens may be seen growing to a height of about 5 feet. Common also on the neighbouring mainland and about the city of Canton (Loureiro, Reeves, Parker, &c.).\n\nAn unusually fine specimen was gathered by one of us in Macao this year. It had a corolla 7 inches long.\n\nIn Remarks on the Botany of S. Manchuria by Dr Morrison of Her B. Majesty's Consulate, D. alba is mentioned among other important plants of the N. O. Solanaceae. Writing under date June 6th, 1887, Dr Morrison states, that about Newchwang it is known as Tien ma hua and La pra huo, and that it is applied in the form of an ointment to ulcers and sores. He was unable to ascertain that it was used internally.\n\nCOMPOSITION. The plant contains an alkaloid possessing properties similar to atropine. It is usually designated daturine, but, as the identity of the active principle in both the Datura and Belladonna tribes is now completely established, it would be well if toxicologists, in their reports on analyses in cases of Datura poisoning, would refer to the basic mixture isolated from the contents of the stomach or bladder simply as atropine. In the absence of a part of the plant, in the material sent for analysis, that will enable the toxicologist to establish the origin of the alkaloid, it is impossible to say that it is a case of Datura poisoning. There may be collateral evidence that would justify the expert in giving an opinion on this point, but, as a chemist, he cannot go beyond the mere statement that atropine was detected.2 Herr Schmidt, writing on the nomenclature of the alkaloids of Atropa Belladonna and Datura Stramonium, states, should it be desired to differentiate between chemically identical atropine according to its origin, it would be simply to make a distinction between atropine from Atropa Belladonna and one from Datura Stramonium, but not between atropine and daturine.1\n\nThe detection of the active principle of Datura may be effected by following the process described under Gelsemium elegans.2 The final product need not however be tested by chemical reagents, because there is no test sufficiently delicate to enable the operator to detect the mydriatic alkaloids of the Solanaceous group, when in the minute quantity usually found in the material sent for examination in cases of poisoning. A neutral solution of the sulphate or hydrochloride of the base should be prepared, and a drop or two applied to the eye. If dilatation of the pupil occurs, a further quantity may be injected into a small animal, preferably a monkey, and the effect noted.\n\nDr Sydney Ringer has called attention to the fact that certain animals are almost insusceptible to the influence of some of the mydriatic alkaloids. In 1884, during the course of some experiments made in the Government Laboratory with an alkaloidal extract of the flowers of Datura alba, considerable difficulty was experienced in killing a small guinea-pig with hypodermic injections of the base. Herbivorous animals are said to be but little affected by atropine, but it acts as a powerful poison on flesh-eaters.\n\nMed. Plants, III., 192; Fl. Hongk., 245; Pharmacographia, 462; Mat. Med. of W. Ind., 618; Science Papers, 258 and 266; Pl. Journal, (3), XVI., 497 and 540.\n\n9. Datura Stramonium, Linn. THORN APPLE, STRAMONIUM. N. O. Solanaceae. According to David, this species grows around Pekin and at Yébol in Mongolia. We have not met with a specimen, but the botanical differences between it and Datura alba are not such as to render it at all probable that the Chinese distinguish the two.\n\nOur view, that both plants will be found in China under the same or closely allied names, derives support from the fact that in Tatarinow's catalogue (No. 177), D. Stramonium is given under #Fu ch'ieh êrh, a name which, as pointed out by Porter Smith, may either be a mistake or a popular exchange for Feng ch'ieh êrh, one of the synonyms of Wan t'e lo hua (Datura alba).\n\nPorter Smith, p. 84; Soub. et Dab. de Th., p. 190; Planta Davidiana, (1884), p. 221; Ann.

That, in the opinion of this House, the system at present in force in British India, the Straits Settlements, and Hong Kong, whereby the retail sale of Opium is farmed out to licencees, who have a pecuniary interest in its increased sale, necessarily tends to spread the vicious habit of indulgence in this drug; that the sale of Opium in India and the Crown Colonies ought to be restricted in accordance with the principles recognised in the legislation of the United Kingdom; and that discretionary powers for such sale should be entrusted only to responsible and carefully selected persons upon whose discretion reliance as to sale may be placed.

Regn 100 has been revised, but I do not think the arrangement is contrary to the letter or spirit of that Regn, because the Office of Registrar is a composite one - he is Registrar of the Supreme Court, Registrar of Companies, Official Assignee, Official Administrator, Official Receiver, and Land Officer. W. Shepherd is Deputy Land Officer and M. Sangster is one of the Deputy Registrars. He differentiates from the other Deputy Registrars appointed to act for him.\n\nBy the arrangement reported to have been sanctioned by the Sec. of State, it began when W. Ackroyd, the late Registrar, was in office and continued until M.W. Wise, the new Registrar, took up the appointment. It appears from the Changes of Office sent to A.G.'s office on 28th March & 20th July 1892, and 8th July last, that the Sec. of State does not consider it contrary to Col. Regn 100 for the distribution of work between W. Shepherd and M. Sangster, some work being distinct & separate from the offices they were thereby enabled to draw more than full pay.\n\nDraft submitted for comment.\n\nPage 373\n\nSu9.18/11 C.PL 20",

        "content_text": "412\n\nThe St. George's Day celebration at Shaughai, which took place on the evening of the 14th inst. in Chiang Sa-ho's Garden, proved a great success. It took the form of an English Fair and Grand Rural Fête.\n\nThe death of Mr. F. W. White at Foochow, already reported, was caused by his falling over the verandah during the night. He was found lying on the ground with his skull fractured, never regaining consciousness.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nA robbery took place on the night of the 17th inst. in one of the fantan houses at Macao. From the particulars given in the Independente it appears that about nine o'clock in the evening the fantan house named Trevy, situated in the Rua Nova d'El-rei, was attacked by a gang of seven men armed with knives and revolvers, who took all the money on the table, some $200 more or less. They then made off, firing at the watchman, Joan Panio de Souza, as they left, inflicting two wounds. The wounded man was taken to the hospital, but his life is despaired of.\n\nAt the Peking races on the 5th instant, Mr. Detring's Sendgraf, which had been unplaced in two other races, won the Consolation Stakes. Thus qualified he was started in the Champion Stakes which followed, and won the race by a length.\n\nThe British ship Queen Victoria, 1,587 tons, Captain Logie, left Kobe on May 7th, consigned to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at Yokohama, arrived in the bay on the morning of the 15th inst., passing the lighthouse at Kent at 8.30 a.m., and shortly after grounded on Fatton spit. Mr. Lafin, on the news being received, immediately proceeded to her assistance in the Yokosuka-maru, but the high wind prevailing prevented much being done.\n\nOwing to the drought and famine in the Pescadores, says a Formosa despatch quoted by the N. C. Daily News, the Governor, E. Sho, sent a ship named Chu, with about several thousand piculs of potatoes and a load of rice, this last being the gift of H. E. T'ang Chuang-chih, Viceroy at Foochow, for distribution amongst the sufferers. Mr. Chu personally visited the thirty-two islands of the group, and distributed an average of twenty-five catties of rice to each person. Some 6,000 out of the 9,000 inhabitants availed themselves of the government charity.\n\nNo danger is anticipated, as she is a strongly built vessel. The place on which she has grounded, we learn from the Japan Gazette, is composed of soft mud, so that when the weather moderates and she is lightened it is probable that she will get off without injury.\n\nA plucky rescue from drowning was accomplished at Kobe by Morton Thurgason, A.B., of the Centurion, in the harbour on the 12th inst., we learn from the Hyogo News. A shipmate engaged in cleaning the ship's sides was seized by a fit, and in a helpless condition fell into the water. Thurgason immediately jumped from the rail and seizing the sinking man he succeeded in keeping his head above water until help arrived.\n\nOur contemporary hopes that proper representations will be made of the matter to the Royal Humane Society.\n\nMay 24, 1894\n\nAt the Bien-su Spring Race Meeting on the 17th inst., the Chalin Stakes was won by Pilgrim, the London Plate by Tristar, the Spring Cup by Depatch, the Welter Stakes by Plebian, the Oaks by Pilgrim, Sorthen Zupyzten, and the Viceroy's Cup by Mountain Dr.\n\nOn the 18th inst. the Tientsin Derby was won by Loadstar, the Anatolia Flag Class by chain, the Mongol Ce Casting bir, the Paotai's Cup by Bay-bay, the Cathay Cup by Loadstar, and the Tientsin Stakes by Reichskanzler.\n\nThe Koyo Maru, a steamship owned by the Koyei Steamship Company of Osaka, we learn from the Kobe Herald, stranded on a rock off Naniwamura in Isami Gun, Chita Ken, during a gale, on the night of the 4th inst., and sank the next morning. The Koyo Maru was the late Orestes, built in England, and measuring 320 ft. in length, 38 ft. in breadth, and 26 ft. in depth. Her tonnage is 2176 and registered tonnage 1329. She was commanded by Captain W. H. vekardt.\n\nDr. Morrison, who is journeying from Chungking to Bhamo, has been heard from at Pusseik, in Yunnan, where he was on the 7th of last month, a letter to a gentleman in Shanghai says (N. C. Daily News). The Doctor says: \"I did the fourteen stages to Ubaulung in four days, and waiting there one day I started to Tangobeup, and compassed the remaining stages in three and a bit. So far I have come very quickly from Chungking to Snifa. 230 miles, of which I rode 33 miles, chair 20 miles, boat 40 miles and walked 137 miles; Snifa to Laowatan, 15 miles chair 82 miles, walked 113 miles; Laowatan to Hantung, 145 miles, chair 43 miles, walked 102 miles; Hantung to Tungcheun 110 miles; 80 miles, walked 30 miles.\n\nEveryone is very well.\"\n\nWe take the following from the N. C. Daily News: Some engineers while exploring in the district of Hsingkouchon, Anhui, came across at the end of last month an old shaft, in which there happened to be a number of dead bodies, apparently miners, suddenly cut off from the upper world by the collapse of the mine, less than 400 years ago. The explorers were so scared that they at once gave up further exploration, filling the hole which revealed to them the gruesome sight. Although the coal deposits were reported to be especially rich, the superstition of the people was too great, and a good mine has thus been lost to the proprietors. The dead bodies are said to have been free from decay and the features were quite natural, but no sooner did the outside air enter the hole than the bodies and clothing suddenly crumbled away, leaving nothing but skeletons.\n\nA serious misfortune at Yonezawa, Yamagata Ken, on the 29th ult. Miss Imhoff, a missionary in Japan, met with an accident. According to a native version of the affair, Miss Imhoff had the temerity to preach a sermon whilst standing beside a monument erected in honour of the founder of the Uyesugi family, a former daimyo of Yonezawa, in memory of whom a native religious festival was just then being held. Apparently exasperated at the intrusion, a demonstration was organised, and one of the party threw a stone, which struck Miss Imhoff's eye-glasses, breaking one of the glasses, and injuring the eye so seriously that she will probably lose the sight.\n\nThe true version of the case, however, is given by a correspondent of the Japan Mail as follows: It being the anniversary of the festival of the Uyengi Shrine, permission was asked by the pastor of the Christian churches of the place to hold an open-air meeting, which request was granted by the authorities, a policeman being in attendance. The meeting was not within the enclosure of the shrine, but in the public park adjoining. A meeting was held in the afternoon, at which such good order prevailed that it was decided to hold one in the evening also. The speakers at both meetings were men, Japanese, the pastors and others, Miss Imhoff going by request to assist in the singing, which, aside from distributing tracts and picture cards, was the only part she took. In the evening good attention was given till one of the young men, a student, rather unwisely charged the people with worshipping idols that were not gods, when they became somewhat noisy, though not interrupting the speakers, who finished the meeting in good order. After the close of the meeting, and as Miss Imhoff was reaching up to take down her foreign lantern, a stone, which seems to have been the first and only one, was thrown, striking her in the right eye, breaking her spectacle glass, and entering the eye. A Japanese physician was called, who removed the pieces and who is now caring for the patient. He is an able man and seems to be doing all that can be done. He hopes that after the wound has healed, by an operation similar to that performed for cataract, partial vision may be restored to the injured eye.\n\nThe Shanghai papers record the death of Mr. Charles H. Dallas, who was a prominent member of the Masonic craft, having held the high office of District Grand Master in Japan for some time. At the funeral the Masonic as well as the Church service was read. Mr. Dallas came out to join his brother, Mr. Barnes Dallas, in Shanghai, over thirty years ago, and then made his home in Japan for some years, where he narrowly escaped death at the hands of two ronians, who savagely slashed him from behind with their swords. He returned to Shanghai some years ago. He has left a widow and children.\n\nThe neighbourhood of Ningpo, the N. C. Daily News says, has for a long time been considered a very quiet one. It is therefore surprising to hear that, a few nights ago, a missionary of the Church Missionary Society was attacked and robbed at night by brigands within ten miles of the city. He was travelling in a native boat, so probably the rascals did not know that they were attacking a European; and as soon as the foreigner's presence was discovered they decamped; but not before they had severely beaten the boatman, and given the missionary one or two heavy blows. It is to be hoped that the officials will take prompt steps to stop any repetition of such proceedings.\n\nThe Japan Mail says: We are informed by Captain Snow that during his recent adventures on the sealing vessels of a rock situated in about the position of the 20 fathom line, which was said to have been seen by the people of the Abyssinia on one of that steamer's voyages, and was subsequently searched for without being found. Mr. Snow expressed his opinion that the \"Askold\" rock does really exist. No one probably ever heard of a submerged danger in that locality would seem to indicate that the rock is a real one.\n\nAccording to the N. C. Daily News, Peking, the recent competition for the Chinszih or metropolitan degree at Peking has been marred by a scandal. Owing to the repeated memoranda of various censors, crying out for stricter observance of the regulations of the examination hall, the examiners and other officials within the examination hall have been severely reprimanded and some of them have been punished. No less than from seventy to eighty chujen or competitors had their papers rejected and were disqualified for life.\n\nA practical joke, and a very ill-advised one, says the Kobe Chronicle, was perpetrated by some mischievous persons at Yonezawa. Miss Imhoff is much respected and loved by the people of Yonezawa for her kind and gentle spirit, and they all, as one, regret the accident that befell her.\n\nSmall silver coins of the Hongkong and Canton mints have passed current in Kobe at par; in fact, the imported coin has often been found very welcome, owing to the great scarcity of native coin. Now, however, a change has suddenly come over the scene, and the exchange-shops in the town refuse to receive but Japanese coin at their counters. It is said that the stop has probably been taken from motives of jealousy, owing to the alleged large profits made by Chinese importers of the Canton silver.\n\nNot only the Christians, but non-Christians, send her the most touching and sympathetic letters of sympathy. Miss Imhoff is very thankful for the kindness shown by the people, and has not the least bitterness, even toward the unknown person who caused her so much suffering and anxiety. She thinks it simply an accident, unintentional, at least, of serious results.\n\nDate. 1894\n\nStore Mong\n\nNo. 11451\n\n(Subject.)\n\nNo. 125\n\nRiots\n\n26 May\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nGov 7340\n\n1. 178)-41-347--0000-11-05\n\nSubsequent Paper.\n\n2773\n\n201\n\nDESPATCH.\n\nC.O.\n\n11451 REC?

During the continuance of the present state of war, all ships of war of either belligerent are prohibited from making use of any port or roadstead in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, or of any waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown, as a station, or place of resort, for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining any facilities of warlike equipment; and no ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or waters subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war or a merchant ship) shall have previously departed, until after the expiration of, at least, twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty.\n\n2. If any ship of war of either belligerent shall, after the time when this Order shall be first notified and put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, and in the Several Colonies and foreign possessions and dependencies of Her Majesty respectively, enter any port, roadstead, or waters belonging to Her Majesty, either in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, such vessel shall be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-four hours after her entrance into such port, roadstead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of which cases the authorities of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after",

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL, HONGKONG, 17th February, 1883.\n\nSIR,I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report and Returns, connected with this School, for 1882. In reviewing the events of the past year, the following facts deserve to be noted.\n\n(1) With the approval of His Excellency, the Officer Administering the Government, Euclid and Algebra have been restored to the Time Table. As these subjects with Mensuration occupy half of the 6 hours given weekly to Arithmetic, no loss accrues thereby to the Study of English.\n\n(2) Elementary Geography and Grammar are now taught in the lowest classes outside the Preparatory School, by which arrangement increased proficiency in English may reasonably be expected in the upper classes in two or three years' time.\n\n(3) A half-yearly examination was held at the end of July, in the work of the past 5 months, with the satisfactory result in the English School of 80.75 per cent. passing, although no time was given for special preparation.\n\n(4) By the return of Mr. MCKINNEY (4th Master) the School, for the first time, enjoyed for 4 months the benefit of the full complement of 6 European Masters; which rendered the discipline of the School highly efficient, and contributed to the satisfactory result at the Annual Examination.\n\n(5) On the other hand, toward the close of the year, the staff suffered severely by the temporary removal of Mr. ARTHUR (5th Master) to the Magistracy, on the score of ill-health; and by the permanent loss of Messrs. CHAN-KAI-MING, TSANG-KIT-FAN, LAU-HO and A. RAMJAHN. The interests of the School have, however, been secured by suitable appointments.\n\n(6) The statistics call for no remark, as they have for some years attained a somewhat fixed average; no alteration for the better can be made in the Roll Returns in the present building.\n\n(7) It is, however, satisfactory to observe that the Central School continues to meet a demand, having in the past year supplied 30 important vacant situations, in the Colonial Service, in the Chinese Imperial Customs and in leading legal and mercantile firms.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, The Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D., Acting Colonial Secretary. Your most obedient Servant, GEO. H. BATESON WRIGHT, Head Master.\n\n(",

Meade\n\nThe decision to appoint and combine the appointments of Colonial Secretary & Registrar General reduces the number of Official Members of the Legislative Council to five, which is the same as the number of Unofficials.\n\nWe should, I think, at once fill the vacancy, and the question is -- \n\nMr. Wodehouse suggests (1) Col. Law (2) Att. Gen (3) Treasurer, and three other senior officials may be considered for the vacancy. Should it be given to Mr. May, Supt of Police (as a solatium for not getting the Colonial Secretaryship), or to Mr. Deane, a former Head of Police, or to Rumsey, the farmer for D'Aguilar?\n\nI do not see any other alternatives unless we return to the old practice of putting in the Chief Justice. We have hitherto objected to putting in Mr. Wodehouse on personal grounds, but I see Sir R. Herbert's minute in `957/40` because the Secretary of State did not think it desirable, except for some very special reason, that the holder of the Office of Police Magistrate should have a seat in the Legislative Council.\n\nI think Mr. Wodehouse should be appointed, but we ought to consult the Governor (`C.PL. 8`). It is hazardous in principle to introduce a Magistrate into the Legislative Council, and we have had experience of the harsh criticism from an outside critic, the head of the police department, who had departmental information to point out discrepancies in many defects. I am sorry to lose Wodehouse, who is disaffected in his relations, but as he is within a year of pension, I am not much concerned where he is.",

July See sanite 13775 Run $19 \n\nSanitary Board Hong Kong 415 \n\nIn his report upon the sanitary condition of Hong Kong in 1882 [pp. 41-2] Mr. Chadwick suggested the appointment of a sanitary officer under the Surveyor General, the Colonial Surgeon, and the Registrar General. These three officials became a sanitary board, to which the new sanitary officer acted as Secretary. [See the last enclosure to `CO40.83`]. Shortly afterwards Ordinance 7 of 1883 was passed enacting that \"the board shall consist of the Surveyor General, the Registrar General, and the Colonial Surgeon for the time being, and of such other members not less than two in number as the Governor may from time to time appoint.\" \n\nIn 1886 the acting Governor, Sir W. Marsh, reconstituted the Board by adding 4 rate-payers, with the approval of the Secretary of State. \n\nIn 1887 a comprehensive Public Health Ordinance was passed, and under it the Board consists of \"the Surveyor General, the Registrar General, the Captain Superintendent of Police, the Colonial Surgeon, and not more than six additional members, four of whom (two being Chinese) shall be appointed by the Governor and two elected by such rate-payers as are exempted from serving on juries on account of their professional avocations.\"",

Whany, moreover, was always \"falling out with 2: Ayres and may at times give the opposite opinion to avoid contradiction\".\n\nMy minute on Ayres is about 2: Marquez. The difficulty is about the pension. Please see 10977: I cannot find that he was ever formally appointed or inducted into a proper office.\n\nIt is not compulsory to retire him on the ordinary terms without abolition allowance on the ground that the service has not been wholly satisfactory or that his position is not quite satisfactory.\n\n### C.PL 14. August \n\nDear Reverend, it might not be preferable to give him abolition allowance and then reduce the pension. But he was entrusted, under instructions from the Secretary of State, with certain duties and another, so I think he must be taken to be permanently employed and pensionable. He states in his evidence that he has no private practice.\n\nThe core of the difficulty is about the pension. If this is treated as abolition of office, he should, in addition to his current pension, receive an ordinary pension if not a gratuity.\n\nI do not think we can retire a man whom we want to get rid of on these terms, whose pensionable position is not quite clear. I only suggest exceptionally, and assuming that we treat the case on the ground of inefficiency, that he is compulsorily retired.\n\n### M= Fairfield \n\nI have laid recently on a paper about St Ayres that I did not think the 12th main section of the Irish Pension Regulation comes into play in granting an abolition allowance, except in cases of bona fide abolition of the post; & think it would be an extension of abuse to apply it in a case of this kind where, as far as I can see, there are bona fide reasons for doing so.",

        "content_text": "## DESPATCH\n\nInstructions referred to on page 1.\n\nIf this Paper of Particulars and the Certificates connected with it, be not sent in original, the copies must be duly attested.\n\nHead of Paper.-In the case of an Officer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether a native of that Coast. (Colonial Regulations, § 420.)\n\nHead 3.---State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pension in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be entered under heading 9.\n\nHead 6.-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the three months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual\". In other cases, the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the three months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7.-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes as regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars\" forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by Formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, as to the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Full-time Service.\n\nHead 8.--In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.-As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.---If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14.--If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.--The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n| No. | Date | Previous Paper | Subsequent Paper | Subject |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 7899 | 1896 |  |  | Medical Staff |\n\nRecommends that the recently appointed ... be permanently attached for duties specified; that a Sanitary Officer of the Port be retained; that a new Asst.

We are informed privately by the Right Rev: Bishop of Victoria, Hong-Kong, that he intends to resign his office at the end of the current year.\n\n2. The appointment to the Bishopric, as we understand, is vested in the Crown, at the nomination of H.M. Secretary for the Colonies.\n\n3. Of the 34 Anglican Clergy belonging to the Diocese of Hong-Kong, 28 are Agents of this Society.\n\n4. We believe that it is the case that previously to the nomination of Bishop Smith in the year 1849, of Bishop Alford in 1867, and of Bishop Burdon in 1874, H.M. Secretary for the Colonies did this Society the favour of conferring with it in the selection of suitable persons to be submitted to Her Majesty for appointment.\n\nI venture to ask that on the resignation of Bishop Burdon being sent to you and accepted, or previous to the selection of a successor, you will extend the same kindness as has been shown on former occasions to this Society which has, and has had for many years so large an interest in the religious work of\n\nthat Diocese.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour Obedient and Faithful Servant,\n\nM.T.

        "content_text": "immorality into being. can hardly begin to come\n\nI note here that in Hongkong medical provisions of the C. D. Ordinances were not applied to women in brothels frequented by Chinese; that was considered always to be too great an interference with the wishes of the Chinese; they might be applied to inmates of brothels frequented by Europeans, all along supported, mainly in the interest of the British soldiers. But the W.O. has not asked for the reintroduction of the C.D. Acts. The W.O. is considering what disciplinary measures to adopt in order to reduce immorality among the Indian soldiers; it might be among other things well to ask that Dept what decision they adopt in those respects, & whether they will apply the same to the Troops at Singapore & Hongkong.\n\nWe could then consider whether it would be wise to adopt similar measures at Hongkong.\n\nI will refer Mr. Shaw-Lefevre to clause 12 which deals with Brothels &c. Jan. 11 of despatch in [C-8401] see also of correspondence in [C-8538].\n\nPolice - which is the Dept. which specially suffers in this matter.\n\nM. Chamberlain asks me to consider whether we should not follow the Example of the Indian Govt. in their recent legislation. In new Indian rules are given special prominence in [C-8538], and the only essential clauses relating to the treatment of this disease [which in these Rules is grouped with other infectious or contagious diseases] are clauses 10 & 11 on p. 15. There provide that the medical officer having prima facie grounds & believes that any woman is diseased may require her to go to hospital & be detained until cured - on pain of being expelled from the Cantonment if she does not consent.\n\nMr. George Hamilton expressly states that there was to be no compulsory periodical examination.\n\nIf you don't submit to this hospital treatment you will be \"expelled from the Cantonment!\"\n\nThis particular method cannot be applied in Singapore + Hongkong, as it would mean to banish women from such circumstances; see however the question of adopting some measure in those Colonies intermediate between the existing voluntary hospital system & the old compulsory & periodical exam. System (the C. D. Act) which I gather from Mr. Chamberlain's minute is considered to be out of the question, as Mr. Hamilton has prohibited this reintroduction in India.\n\nPL(3)--79600-3000-3-97",

        "content_text": "Question were (as stated in \n\nan \n\nletter of 30 Nov. Danly provisionally subject to restrictions; \n\nI then go on to offer the lines suggested my minist a compromise in last part of 22486/marked B) Sud 2/4/97 C.PL.2\n\nThe War Office apparently shifts its ground, and, abandoning its claim to have this land treated as \"Colonial Military Land\" within the meaning of the circular of 1894, now claim that the military authorities have certain rights to the ground which they propose to abandon, and for the abandonment of which they are entitled to compensation as if they were entitled to the land in full.\n\nIt appears to me that the principle put forward is just and equitable. The question is whether the claim is well founded in point of fact.\n\nI gather from the correspondence that the land belongs to Government, pending the final determination of the scheme for the defence works, it was let out with a complete restriction as to building, subject to the form that if the lessee built, he did so at the risk of having to remove his building without compensation if deemed necessary by the Military authority (see Resolution of the Ex. Co: of 17th Jan 1877). This resolution gave rise to a dispute between the civil and military authorities; but finally, when the defensive scheme was settled, it was found that it was not worth while to place any restriction on building on the land in question.\n\nAccording to the War Office view, the case is like that in which a private person has an easement - a right to light, air, etc. - over another person's land, for the abandonment of which he sets up a claim to compensation. If their scheme of defence had been different, they might have prohibited building. As it is, the land is now free from the restriction on building which had been imposed, and the question is who benefits from this.\n\nIt does not appear to me inequitable that the Colonial Government should be debited (on the principle of the circular of 1894) with an amount equivalent to the benefit derived from the removal of the restriction. I should suggest that this view be put before the Colonial Office before...\n\nPage 4\n\nB",

I think, however, that as in the case of the Causeway Bay Recreation Ground (`13761`), a Clause should be inserted to authorise the reappropriation of the land should it be found necessary in the interests of the Local or Imperial Government.\n\n`No 270.`  \n`24/10`  \n`23711`  \n`Geo? 24 GUT 08`  \n`184`\n\nI agree as to the desirability of making legislation to provide a premium for the reservation of this knoll as a recreation ground. It has hitherto been associated with very undesirable associations. I set forth an extract from a letter. The natural advantages of the site for a recreation ground are evident, and it is deemed desirable to reappropriate whether Chinese or other.\n\nIt is described as being on the shores of Kowloon Bay, a few hundred yards north of the present Boundary line, a Knoll with well-marked boundaries.\n\nThe Right Honourable Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., has drawn attention to the ancient monument under the **Protection Act 1882**, which contains a section relating to the injury to ancient monuments.

Ascertainedly, if after the facts as to the two points raised above there is good ground shown for a reduction, Mr. Chamberlain will apportion the grant on the terms stated and in considering whether or not more might be given, he would be glad of some information as to what they estimate the price would have been in the open market, whether the W.O. are contributing and whether any abatement in price will be devoted to the benefit of the building.\n\nWrite to Sir W. Robinson & ask what the market price is; in any case, write to M. then telling him that \n\nIt appears from `GR498/91` that the tenure in all leases in the city of Victoria is 999 years. I cannot discover at what date that practice of 999 years leases was laid down as a general rule.\n\nIn `Land Report 1887` (p. XVII), it is noted that in 1848, Earl Grey allowed certain leases to be extended to Admiralty land. See if this can be related to the practice.\n\nMr. Chamberlain properly questions whether the term of all leases should not be laid down as a new rule for future leases in Hongkong. I suggest that we have recently done so in Ceylon and adopted the Straits rules (rent every 30 years, reassessment).\n\nAs regards this particular grant, the Government proposes the term of 999 years. That term is clearly stated. I did not read `GR1178/1922/32(III)`, but I have been unable to trace the precise history of land tenure in Hongkong.\n\nM. Lucas & Co. are often for 75 years only.\n\n### CPL, 23 March\n\nAs to terms, what is the long lease reported? I do not think the lease is absolutely for my own use; any land in Hongkong is granted for 999 years without rent, rather than rents then paid were supposed to be.\n\nI suspect the practice of generally granting 999 years leases sprang out of a decision that there seems no reason why we should not lay down a new rule for future leases in Hongkong.\n\n`Jora C.PL -82182-3000-6-97` \n### \nRight \nao ang \nMr. Chamberlain \nfo \nCharly \nOutride the city & in Kowloon leases. \nHuis en somer \nwaraдо \nmicrtase \nbe high. \nCPL \n23/3 \nCan \nAs 10 Terms \nD \nat com \ng \nI shoved by bichmied to gain up the fine \nthan \nrents then paid were suppered to \nhowever \ndown \nA \nzears. \nto Ceylon ) the adoption of Straitsrules \nfrent every \n30 \nThat term",

He was dismissed for being implicated in money lending transactions; and there is at my rate nothing ambiguous here.\n\n? Reply that U.S. was on that ground; and that U.S. regrets being dismissed. There is no reason for reconsideration of his previous decision `A.F-19/5`. We have already declined to reconsider the previous decision, and although there was a difficult fight, I am afraid there is nothing here that affords grounds for reconsideration.\n\nTwo charges are made against Letter Singh. In the first charge, he was found guilty & dismissed. He was also, in the opinion of the officials of the Colony, guilty of the offence, and this fact was submitted to us. In view of his aforesaid charge, the first charge was not merely on that account. The first charge relates to a contravention of the Regulation contained in Govt. Notification `405/94`, (see Enclo 2 in `23203/97`). The second charge is that of taking bribes from a Gambling House in Wa Lane. There is sufficient ground for the case.\n\nWill you please deal with this. The Counsel called twice on me and seems very confident of his client's case, but I have not gone into the papers `C.PL 12 Sept`.\n\nAs to (1) relating to the money lending, the evidence showed that Letter Singh paid to the Court the money which he alleged was paid by a third party by name Grada Singh. It is also clear that Letter Singh acted throughout (if he was not the actual lender) as the go-between between the debtor and the creditor & that the interest was paid by the debtor to him. Letter Singh admitted the truth of the debtor's evidence. I think that there was evidence on which it could be found that Letter Singh had broken the regulation and that this was misconduct for which he could be dismissed. The sentence was not too severe, but we have affirmed it. No new facts are now adduced which should lead to reconsideration of the decision.",

The meaning of the underlined phrase cannot be seen to fathom, and a declaration would not cover by a legal representative; and the words \"before the Register\" must, I suppose, be taken to mean \"in his presence.\"\n\nThe English Registration Act does not appear to require a declaration in person; the words are \"to deliver to the registrar, etc.\" But here the name must be entered within twelve months; a declaration to that effect is required.\n\nThe question relates to the interpretation of the two phrases above. I refer to Sir W. Hamilton in connection with A.F. 25/6. The Act 5 of 16 of 1896 to which Mr. Fiddian refers is relevant, and I agree that a personal appearance before the Registrar is necessary to make the declaration mentioned in it.\n\nA declaration in writing in the form given for the parent or guardian of such child or other person procuring such name to be entered will be admitted for the purpose. A legal representative will be admitted for the purpose. I do not think the fee should be in proportion to the main object of getting the register completed, and I think a copy of Messrs Flux & Landale's letter should be sent to the Governor, with a recommendation that the Ordinance may be amended in such a way as to meet cases of this kind.\n\nHFU 27/6\n\nThis seems the only thing to do. I support leaving the matter to the local Law Officers to devise the form that the amendment should take. I do not think it would be any good to consult the Registrar at Somerset House. Cases of this kind are likely to be exceptional.\n\nThe amendment to the law, if made, should be confined to cases where the Registrar General of the Colony is satisfied that the parent or guardian is unable to attend personally, and provision should be made for satisfactory evidence of this fact to be furnished to the said Registrar, with discretion as to certifying the alteration without fee, on production of such evidence.\n\nSend copy to the Governor.\n\nC.PL 9 July\n\nI will write at once to the Governor, stating that we are consulting him.",

The principal changes recommended by Mr.Ormsby are\n\n(a) that Mr.Gibbs, Assistant Engineer, should take up the general supervision of Mr.Malsch's sub-department on a salary of 3000 dollars a year. He will, I understand, continue to perform the duties of Assistant Engineer in conjunction with his new duties. You will recollect that the Retrenchments Committee recommended that the office of Superintendent of Crown Lands should be abolished when opportunity occurred; but for the reasons stated by Mr.Ormsby I consider that a superior officer should continue to supervise that sub-department.\n\n(b) that the salary of Mr.E.M.Hazeland, Assistant Engineer (Salary $2528) will be increased to $2088: but until then there must be some arrangements proposed being submitted. The cost of the present establishment will be a slight saving.\n\n...yet another Art Engineer... when that appointment is made...\n\n1.

        "content_text": "office staff charges to $14,130. On the 1896 Estimates, the Inspector which at $1,346 was abolished; and the total staff charges became $12,846. Later on, the opportunity was taken to reduce the total staff charges. The First Clerk's salary became $11,694 and then $11,383.\n\nI submit that in view of these substantial and continued reductions, the additional clerkship asked for may be granted. The salary of $180 is, however, the lowest figure possible, as the new clerk is to have some knowledge of English. It is moreover apparently the same salary as that drawn by the present shroff's assistant ($180 in the estimates for \"incidental assistance to shroff\").\n\nI would, however, in sanctioning this, request that provision must be made in next year's Estimates, so that the new arrangement will take effect from Jan. 1st (it will not do to delay, as our despatch cannot be sent out till September), and add that the C. of S. presumes that the Governor is satisfied that this increase in the staff will adequately meet the requirements of the office for some time to come.\n\nA.

You will observe from the Colonial Secretary's letter No. 969 of the 16th June to the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce that this Government proposes to deal with the matter by making the concealment of opium on board a ship a penal offence, but beyond this preventive measure, the remedy lies with the French authorities.\n\n3.

There were 21 complaints of the kind in the last 3 months of 1897 and 22 for the same period in 1898. In three of these later instances the letters reported as missing have been found, and in two others there has not yet been time enough for the receipt of replies to the enquiries addressed to the Hong Kong Post \n\nOffice. \n\nOne of the applicants enclosed an extract from an article in the \"Daily Press\", of which a copy is enclosed, and two commercial firms expressed their belief that there was some laxity in the Hong Kong Postal service and that irregularities were occurring there. \n\nUnder Secretary of State, \n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE. \n\nI",

By the provisions of Ordinances 15 of 1889, 25 of 1891, 7 of 1895, and 5 of 1896, and especially by paragraph 75 of Ordinance 15 of 1889, the Public Works Department has a considerable degree of responsibility, over and above the consideration of all plans and specifications, and these duties have hitherto been performed by an official who, assisted by an overseer, is also entrusted with the charge of 68 miles of roads, a large number of public buildings outside the City of Victoria, and the Government Telephone system.\n\n3. The late great increase in building, however, (no less than 400 private buildings are in course of construction) has rendered proper supervision impossible, with the staff at present at the disposal of the Director of Public Works. I therefore have the honour to recommend that...\n\nmay vary; will wait for answer to despatch on 8775 before disposing of this paper. I think the salary proposed, which is higher than that of any other officers sanctioned, should not be approved as it would simply lead to demands for increased salaries from the others. But if we finally approve the appointment at $5,500 a year with $144 allowance for conveyance (or conveyance allowance), the paper of particulars should be followed, except that the other officers have a shared overseer in `8775-A`; a free quarters allowance has been given.\n\n22/5  \nSW. J.  \n22/5  \n\nAcknowledge and refer to the despatch of 30 March. Say that if on reconsideration the Governor is fully satisfied that all three men are required, I will telegraph to that effect; they will be appointed, but that we are not flooded with difficulties by a suggestion as to salary as above.\n\nC.PL 22 at once  \nC.O. 11272  \nREGD  \nat 10 APR 00  \nGovernment House,  \n545  \n\nThe Right Honourable  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.  \n80.  \n800.  \n85C.",

F. Boulton asking for an increase of salary.\n\n2. The question of placing Mr. Boulton on the permanent Engineering Staff of the Public Works Department formed the subject of the despatches noted in the margin, Sir H.A. Blake to Secretary of State, No. 246, 25th August, 1899. Secretary of State to Sir H. A. Blake, No.231, 13th October, 1899. And I have now to report that as the Praya Reclamation works will be nearing completion, if not completed, at the end of next year, and as the Director of Public Works reports that the reclamation in front of the Eastern Praya, concerning which Sir H.A. Blake will no doubt address you on his return, might well be begun next year upon the return of Mr. Boulton, it seems time to come to a decision as to what Mr. Boulton's future position shall be.\n\n3. Whether the new Reclamation in question is carried out by Government on its own account or on behalf of the Marine Lot-holders, there is no question that the reclamation must be made if only to escape the insanitary condition which would otherwise be created by the projection seawards of the enormous reclamation in front of the Naval Yard which has already been begun, and it is obvious that it would be of great advantage...\n\n## Enclosure\n\nHis salary is materially higher than it would have been if he had been on the fixed establishment all along.\n\nHis fair increase... \nNo. 231. \n17633 \nHe is already present, whose service is abundantly drawing the same salary as Mr. Mudie, the other Praya Reclamation Engineer, about as long as his, and his salary is fixed for the Executive Engineer.\n\nMr. Mudie is entitled to the benefit of the new incremental scale ($3,000 rising to $3,600). His present salary is approximately $3,300. And as his salary will reach $3,000, it is asked that his salary be fixed.\n\n`61594/00` \nService... \nClosure \nMay 1900. \n`60187` \n20 JUN 00 \n\n## Marginal Notes\n`17633` \n`C.PL I` at once (PL) \n`235` \n\n## RIGHT HONOURABLE \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P., \n80, &c.",

        "content_text": "300\n\nIn this case. \n\nA feature of the case was strongly relied upon by the Defendant's Counsel as distinguishing it from those above mentioned and reliance was placed on what Lord Blackburn said in Fraser v. Murdoch L.R. 6 A.C. about makers of trusts (see p. 872) and trusts to carry on business with particular funds (see p. 875). But their Lordships can find nothing in Lord Blackburn's judgment which is inconsistent with the principles which in their Lordships' opinion govern. The fact that the Defendant did not create the trust on which the Plaintiff held the shares when they were first placed in his name affords the Defendant no defence to this action. Although the Defendant did not create the trust he accepted a transfer of the beneficial ownership in the shares first as mortgagee and afterwards as sole beneficial owner with full knowledge of the fact that they were registered in the Plaintiff's name as trustee for their original purchasers and their assigns whoever they might be. By this acceptance the Defendant became the Plaintiff's cestui que trust; and the Plaintiff could not prevent it or effectually dispute his trusteeship for the Defendant. By this acceptance the Defendant created the trust for himself. Having done so the Defendant as the beneficial owner of the shares demanded from the Plaintiff and obtained dividends declared in respect of them. The Defendant also paid calls made upon them although he attempted to protect himself from any admission of liability by entering these payments in his books as made on behalf of the Plaintiff. Lastly when asked by the Plaintiff to procure a transfer of the shares out of the Plaintiff's name the Defendant refused to do so and thereby compelled the Plaintiff to continue to hold them as his trustee.\n\nIt is idle after this to rely on the fact that the Defendant did not create the trust in the first instance; and idle to talk of renunciation or disclaimer of these shares by the Defendant. He cannot now get rid of the trust for himself which he created by becoming beneficial owner of the shares and which trust he has recognised since as subsisting.\n\nIt is quite unnecessary to consider in this case the difficulties which would arise if these shares were held by the Plaintiff on trust for tenants for life or for infants or upon special trusts limiting the right to indemnity. In those cases there is no beneficiary who can be justly expected or required personally to indemnify the trustee against the whole of the burdens incident to his legal ownership; and the trustee accepts the trust knowing that under such circumstances and in the absence of special contract, his right to indemnity cannot extend beyond the trust estate, i.e., beyond the respective interests of his cestuis que trustent. In this case their Lordships have only to deal with a person sui juris beneficially entitled to shares which he cannot disclaim. The obligation of such a person to indemnify his trustee against calls upon them appears to their Lordships indisputable in a Court of Equity unless of course there is some contract or other circumstance which excludes such obligation. Here there is none. Whether the Plaintiff in this case could sue Benjamin and Kelly on any promise by them to indemnify him need not be discussed. Such a right if it exists in no way affects the obligation of the Defendant as the Plaintiff's cestui que trust. But it is obvious that any payment to the Plaintiff by Benjamin and Kelly or by the Defendant in respect of the calls would reduce the amount which the Plaintiff could recover from the Defendant or from them as the case might be.\n\nFor these reasons their Lordships will advise Her Majesty to allow the Appeal and to reverse the judgments appealed from with costs;",

On the 14th October, 1899, and 20th December, 1899, I leased two pieces or parcels of ground covered by the sea, situated to the East of the Island of Lantao, which, with the leased sites, became British Territory under the Convention of June, 1898.\n\n3. These leases were granted for a term of five years from the 7th October, 1899, at the yearly rental of One Thousand Dollars and Three Hundred Dollars respectively.\n\n4.

In the other case, the right granted included the searching and obtaining shells as well as coral.\n\n4. With these preliminary remarks, I pass on to relate the course of events in respect of the Lease of the site designated as Lantao Marine Lot No. 2, granted on 20th December at an annual rental of Three Hundred Dollars and conferring a right to search for and obtain coral or shells.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,  \n&c., &c.\n\nbut I don't see how this can now be done, if the parties do not bring it there.

Let's start by correcting them:\n- \"Regth\" to \"Regt\"\n- \"Raq\" to \"Request\"\n- \"thould\" to \"should\"\n- \"affear\" to a possible correct word, but it's unclear; it could be \"affair\"\n- \"sumplect\" to \"simplest\"\n- \"farrah\" to \"far better\"\n- \"dhan\" to \"him\"\n- \"trun\" to \"retire from\"\n- \"horroratiuum\" to \"gratuity\"\n- \"E\" and \"дин\" are unclear and seem to be OCR errors or unrelated characters; removing or correcting them is necessary.\n- \"Sent 12:52 pm\" seems to be a timestamp and should be left as is.\n- \"Telegraph\", \"3219 Emul\", \"21/17 Pathos\" seem to be related to the telegraph message and should be preserved.\n- \"myths\" could be \"terms\" or another word depending on context; \"myths in first instance Medical Certificate\" doesn't make sense.\n- \"cusfied\" to \"certified\"\n- \"l'umfitted\" to \"unfit\"\n- \"C.PL\" is unclear; it might be an abbreviation.\n- \"despalate\" to \"despatch\"\n- \"percas muuti ly\" doesn't make sense; it could be \"by next mail\"\n- \"Ich\" to \"I have\"\n- \"bundly\" to \"kindly\"\n- \"trui\" to \"due\"\n- \"EuP\" is unclear.\n- \"Thanter\" could be \"Thank you\" or another phrase.\n- \"Inan old firm. 0. ener de malle stands fu926\" doesn't make sense and seems to be a mix of unrelated words and numbers.\n\n## Step 2: Rejoin broken sentences and correct spacing\nMany sentences are broken or have incorrect spacing.

        "content_text": "Mr Lucas\n\nOn looking moon fully into the papers. I regret to see that I did not state the position quite distinctly. It was this, In reply to Atkinson's request for leave for six months from 20th, I wrote \"granted subject to any objection\" & told him that the form had been telegraphed to him on 9 February and received without objection.\n\nI did not tell Lee that it had been telegraphed back. For the sake of clarity, I should say that their objection did not tally with Atkinson's. I did not tell Lee that it had been objected to within the time allowed for objection.\n\nAs confirmed by the letter of 17th, I had telegraphed that there was no objection to the grant of leave \"subject to any objection which may be received\". The June telegram was for Atkinson's immediate return.\n\nYou consider it usual to grant leave subject to any objection; & you argue that the phrase meant that the Governor might telegraph that he had objections at any time during those months.\n\nLet him have it, though I don't think he has much claim.\n\nLet me see draft (Pd 3 above).\n\nC.PL\n\nTO-8-0008~68:9-\n\nNo. 477.\n\nSir,\n\n539\n\n45104-\n\nDEC DI\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 19th November, 1901.\n\nI have the honour to invite your attention to the fact that considerable hardship and expense are sometimes incurred by Government Officers during their absence from the Colony on leave, when the exigencies of the Public Service require their return to the Colony before such leave has expired.\n\nI submit for your consideration that some relief might with justice be extended to Officers placed in such circumstances, at least to the extent of repaying from the public funds any extra expense incurred by them in arranging for a sudden and unexpected return to their posts.\n\n2. The most recent case in point is that of Dr. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer, whose leave was cut short in consequence of my telegram to you of the 15th June last.\n\nAs Dr. Atkinson was obliged to return by himself at an earlier date than could be arranged for by his family, he was put to the extra expense of taking separate passages for them and of making arrangements for their accommodation in England after he had departed.\n\nA very moderate computation of the extra expense so incurred has been furnished by Dr. Atkinson, who considers that it would be covered by £25.\n\nI request authority to refund this sum to Dr. Atkinson.\n\n3.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,\n\n&C. &C.",

The resolution framed by the Legislative Council in 1898 did not favour this crew; but I gather that the Council and the community were by no means unanimous.\n\nAF12/2 should approve subject to anything Sir H. Blake may say, but in view of the immediate heavy outlay. I think we should approve this scheme. I suggest that other public works should, as far as practicable be postponed, & ask what other Public Offices besides the G.P.O. will be erected on the site. (see Resoln above refd to, which mentions Treasury).\n\nGROg1972 is laying a site for the new Post Office. Mr. Chamberlain's approval is asked for spending $508,000 on a new Post Office, money to be eventually recouped by selling the Site of the existing Post Office. I have spoken to Sir H. Blake who strongly recommends the purchase. If it is approved, he will see the vendors, Jardine Matheson & Co, and arrange as to the purchase money. They may take it in instalments or may be content with interest until we have the capital sum available.\n\nApprove by telegram & inform Sir H. Blake, authorising him to make recommendations as to the purchase money, which should be arranged for, if possible, without a C.P.L. loan.\n\nThe project has been under consideration since 1879/4 and it is clear that a new Post Office must be built and delay will probably only add to the cost.\n\nApprove.\n\n16/2.\n\n14\n\n \nPage 14\n\n \n\n \nThe final output is in HTML format as requested.

Fixed spacing issues (e.g., added or removed spaces, corrected hyphenation).\n3. Rejoined broken sentences.\n4. Restored paragraph breaks.\n5. Indicated missing words with `...` (not needed in this case).\n6. Applied Markdown formatting for structure (not applicable in HTML output).\n7. Ensured file references have no spaces inside parentheses (e.g., \"GR43236/01\", \"GROg1972\" to \"GRO 1972\", \"AF12/2\", \"C.P.L.\").\n8. Preserved page numbering information (\"Page 14\"). \n9.

As it is improbable that Dr. Lowson will ever be sufficiently restored to health to resume work in so trying a climate as that of Hongkong, it has been found necessary to consider the question of invaliding him from the service on pension. The necessity for such action was foreseen by Dr. Lowson himself before his return to the Colony, and I enclose a copy of a letter in which he expressed the hope that in arranging the details of his pension the Government would consider the possibility of adding a few years to his record of service.\n\n3. As there is no doubt that Dr. Lowson's health has been considerably impaired by the nature of the work upon which he was engaged, especially during the period of the first outbreak of an epidemic of plague, I have been unanimously recommended by the Official and Unofficial Members of Executive Council to grant Dr. Lowson an increased pension.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.\n\n \nPage 255\n\nC.

The question of erecting a bridge to connect the island of Hongkong with the mainland, to which allusion is made in paragraph 24, has been before the Government in several forms during the past year. There are too many demands upon Colonial funds at present to admit of the scheme being undertaken in the near future even if found practicable, but the Government has fully recognised that the subject is one which is well worthy of being considered.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Humble servant, My. Gascoigne Major-General, Administering the Government.\n\nPage ...",

A copy of Major General Gascoigne's despatch on the subject is enclosed for Mr Brodrick's information.\n\n3. A telegram was received by the Foreign Office from Sir E. Satow stating that there was no doubt that natives of India, among them Sikhs, were employed by the Russians at Port Arthur and along the Manchurian Railway; and that they came from Shanghai.\n\n4. Mr Chamberlain concurs with the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in thinking it undesirable that Sikhs should enter the service of other European Powers in China; and the Governor has been asked to report what steps could be taken with a view to arranging to send them back to India on the expiry of their service.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,  \n**War Office.**",

The Land Officer is prepared to undertake the additional work involved, but he has represented, in a letter of which I enclose a copy, that he will require an Assistant Land Officer to take charge of a branch Land Office at Taipo in the New Territories. To this new post Mr. Bruce Shepherd asks that Mr. Messer, the senior passed cadet, be appointed. Mr. Messer was appointed a cadet in 1897 and has as yet received no substantive post. He was employed for a considerable time in connection with the registration of claims to land in the New Territory, and he made the rough rent-roll upon which Crown rent in the New Territory has up to the present been collected. He has therefore had experience in the work that is to be done, and he has also some knowledge of surveying, which will be useful. I have therefore to recommend that provision be made in the Estimates for 1904 for an Assistant Land Officer for the New Territory and that the salary be fixed at $3600 rising to $4200 by $300 triennially, with $30 a month travelling allowance.\n\n**RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,**  \n&c... &c...  \n\n### Preceding Fragment\n\n...of the Assistant Pfleger and Superintendent of Police.

The reason given at \"A\" was that eventually it would be irregular & inconvenient and should not be followed in future.\n\nAs to passage \"B\" in paragraph 4, the point is that the pay of the Assistant Magistrate and the second magistrate are on the same incremental scale, viz $4800 # $32000 by $300 triennially, but he Gompertz has already passed his first increment and In Hazeland does not care his. Thus, until some time during 1904, if In Gompertz drew the two salaries only, he would receive rather less than his proper pay of $559, but then we should allow that the difference should be paid out of the magistrate's pay. It would not be wise.\n\nIn other words, he should draw $2700 as bol teco pay & $2400 from the salary of Record map until the date at which the latter attains the salary of $5000. Thereafter he would draw $2650 from each post.\n\nThe last Despatch addressed to your predecessor on the subject of the Land Settlement in the New Territories was Sir Henry Blake's Despatch No. 295 of the 18th June last.\n\n3. Matters have undergone some alteration since then and the present position is as follows. The two important cases referred to in the 2nd paragraph of that Despatch have not been referred back to the Land Court to assess compensation, but the Government has appealed against the decisions of the Land Court under Ordinance No. 13 of 1903.\n\nThese appeal cases are about to come on for hearing in the Supreme Court and should be settled shortly. Mr. Gompertz has been employed since the writing of the Despatch referred to above principally in hearing some very large and important claims to foreshore and seabed which were among the cases referred to in the 4th paragraph.\n\nThe Honourable  \nALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.\n\nPage 220  \n1513  \nJAN 04  \nEnclosure.  \nNo.578  \nFaskong.  \nSir,  \nDraft C.PL. 211  \n22 atance  \nAbo 2.",

The first two years I enjoyed the best of health\n\nthe third year of my service was most unlucky one for me. At the\n\nbeginning of the year 1902, I was stricken down with Enteric fever & laid up in hospital for three months. After recovering from that I met with a serious accident whilst on duty at a fire & was again laid up in hospital for two months & when I came out of hospital I was unable to perform my duty as a Constable properly, so I was put into a Station where the duties were not very\n\nhard in hopes of regaining my health but this was not so as I was again stricken down with fever & obliged to return to hospital. The Doctor then\n\nordered me to be invalided to England. that was on the 20th of December 1902 & I arrived home on the 25th of January 1903 I received no gratuity or pension of any kind. The injury I received prevents my obtaining any other Government situation & also of my doing any hard work. Since return home I have tried utmost to obtain a suitable situation but have been unable to do so. I left the Police Force with an excellent character & I may say that all my papers will stand every investigation. I do beg of you to carefully consider",

They explain clearly that colony contemplated acquiring park by amicable exchange.\n\nColony cannot afford liability for $490,000 with respect to park. Would rather give up park which is not necessary on sanitary grounds. Am informed that military authorities desire purchase private land (?Kowloon) for purposes of submarine mining at cost of £40,000.\n\nColony would be held liable (to) pay this if proposal contained in your despatch accepted. Mention is made of this lest credit taken for sum mentioned in connection with Imperial Estimates for financial year ending 31st March, 1905. Despatch follows by mail.",

The Admiralty are, however, very large consumers, to the extent of approximately 9 million gallons annually for Hong Kong and Kowloon, and My Lords feel that they are therefore entitled to much more favourable terms than ordinary consumers of the Civil Community.\n\nIn this connection it may be observed that in Agreements come to with Water Authorities for the supply of Naval Establishments at Home where their consumption is very large in comparison with that taken by the ordinary consumer, My Lords are granted very advantageous terms.\n\n3. In view of the above, I am accordingly to ask whether some reduction cannot be made in the charge of 50 cents per 1,000 gallons for water supplied for Naval purposes.\n\n4. My Lords have been in communication with the Army Council on this subject and a similar representation will be made by that Department in regard to the supply to Military properties which are not included in the special rate of 10 cents per 1,000 gallons.\n\nUnder Secretary of State,\n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE.\n\nI am,\n\n3\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nEvan MacG ...\n\nimacje fors",

IL était d'usage jusqu'à ces derniers temps d'admettre en franchise les objets personnels destinés aux Consuls étrangers en Chine. Depuis, l'Administration des Douanes a estimé que ces objets pourraient être également soumis aux droits d'importation. Les Ministres soussignés ont pensé que, suivant la coutume, toute de courtoisie, qui se pratique dans beaucoup de pays, le Gouvernement Chinois voudrait bien continuer à donner aux Consuls des Puissances, tout au moins dans une certaine mesure, les facilités dont ils ont bénéficié jusqu'ici.\n\nIls suggèrent en conséquence qu'à titre de courtoisie le Gouvernement Impérial attribue aux Consuls étrangers en Chine l'exemption des droits pour l'entrée de leur mobilier, lors de leur installation, et pour l'entrée des objets à leur usage personnel pendant la durée de leurs fonctions, jusqu'à concurrence d'une somme que l'Administration des Douanes serait appelée à déterminer.\n\nVeuillez agréer, &c. (Signé)\n\nMUMM.\n\nCZIKANN.\n\nJOOSTENS.\n\n5\n\nVoici ce que, nous, le Wai-ou-pou, estimions.----\n\nLorsque le Protocole final fut discuté à Pékin, il y a deux ans, les Règlements annexés au Tarif (the Rules appended to the Tariff) dans les Traités de toutes les Puissances contenaient un Article spécial (Rule II-sur la franchise douanière de certaines marchandises); dans cet Article les noms des marchandises qui doivent jouir de franchise étaient aussi énumérés. Les douanes dans les différents ports faisaient passer en franchise les marchandises inscrites dans cette catégorie, sans faire une différence, si l'importateur était fonctionnaire, marchand, ou missionnaire; il n'existait ni de franchise spéciale pour les Consuls, ni même une stipulation spéciale sur la franchise pour les Consuls.\n\nEn vertu du Protocole final, l'Article sur la franchise des marchandises fut aboli et les douanes des différents ports procédèrent maintenant conformément au Protocole final, à savoir, les marchandises qui étaient auparavant en franchise sont sujettes au paiement des droits comme marchandises frappées de droits, également sans distinguer, si l'importateur soit fonctionnaire, marchand, ou missionnaire; il n'existe pas non plus un Article spécial sur la franchise douanière des effets Consulaires; moins encore est-il question d'un changement dans le sens d'un paiement de droits par les Consuls; il s'agit simplement d'une perception des droits sur les marchandises conformément au Protocole, et il n'y a certainement aucune disposition relative à cette franchise complète (pour les Consuls).\n\nCependant, comme les Ministres des divers États nous prient de vouloir accorder un traitement de faveur aux Consuls, nous, le Wai-ou-pou, avons décidé un moyen d'accommodement.\n\nA part l'entrée en franchise des objets envoyés par le Gouvernement et destinés à l'usage de la Chancellerie du Consulat, tels que papier, plumes, &c. (ustensiles nécessaires pour écrire), autorisée par des stipulations antérieures, nous accordons aux Consuls à leur première entrée en fonctions dans un port, l'exemption des droits pour les objets apportés avec eux et destinés à leur usage personnel, si le Ministre résidant à Pékin demande cette franchise pour son Consul expressément dans la notification officielle adressée au Wai-ou-pou et fait parvenir en même temps une liste des objets pour lesquels la franchise est demandée.\n\nTous les autres objets et les objets importés plus tard ainsi que les objets appartenant au personnel du Consulat ne jouiront pas de ce privilège.\n\nNous devons faire remarquer qu'il s'agit simplement d'un arrangement à titre de courtoisie et non pas d'une modification aux stipulations du Protocole.\n\nNous croyons devoir en donner connaissance à vos Excellences, pour qu'elle en prennent acte, et nous attendons une réponse pour pouvoir donner les instructions nécessaires à toutes les douanes.\n\nPAK CHEI SOON.

Il sera versé au Gouvernement Chinois par l'administration du chemin de fer une somme de 20 fr. par kilom. de chemin de fer en construction ou en exploitation, et par an, pour lui tenir compte des frais de surveillance.\n\nArt. 26. Lorsque la voie ferrée sera achevée il devra, autant que possible, être fait exclusivement usage de Chinois pour les gardes de la voie et les ouvriers chargés de son entretien. On chargera dans chaque localité un des plus anciens, le plus digne de confiance, d'opérer les engagements de façon à ce que les individus ainsi engagés soient des personnes paisibles et honnêtes.\n\nChacun des employés sera, dans le but de faciliter leur contrôle, muni par les autorités locales d'une carte, qui sera demandée à celles-ci par le notable chargé de les recruter.\n\nArt. 27. Si, au cours de l'exploitation du chemin de fer, des dommages étaient causés aux propriétés, ou si des blessures étaient occasionnées aux individus par des accidents imputables à la Compagnie exploitante, celle-ci devra allouer des secours ou verser des indemnités pour réparer le préjudice causé par son fait.\n\nIl en sera de même des dommages ou des blessures causés par une conduite défectueuse des trains mis en circulation avant l'achèvement complet des travaux.\n\nArt. 28. Il pourra être fondé, aux frais de la Compagnie, des écoles spéciales où seront instruits les Chinois pour former des interprètes et des agents techniques.\n\nPar la suite, quand l'administration du chemin de fer aura besoin de personnel, elle devra choisir, tout d'abord, parmi les élèves fournis par ces écoles.\n\nArt. 29. L'administration du chemin de fer pourra, à mesure de l'ouverture de ses chantiers, construire la ligne télégraphique ou téléphonique, qui doit accompagner la voie ferrée. Ces lignes seront uniquement pour le service du chemin de fer, et ne pourront recevoir ni expédier les télégrammes du public.\n\nArt. 30. Toutes les questions relatives au chemin de fer qui exigeront entente avec les hautes autorités provinciales seront discutées entre le Consul-Général de France et les hautes autorités provinciales.\n\nIl est entendu que, lorsqu'il s'agira de questions techniques, on s'en tiendra aux décisions des ingénieurs.\n\nArt. 31. Lorsque les travaux de la voie seront commencés avis en sera donné par lettres officielles du Consul-Général aux hautes autorités du Yünnan, et celles-ci désigneront immédiatement une haute personnalité officielle dans le but de s'aboucher, sur toute l'étendue de la voie, avec les agents du chemin de fer, pour régler, de concert avec eux, les affaires concernant l'exécution des travaux, d'après l'entente intervenue entre le Consul-Général et les hautes autorités provinciales. Celles-ci consentent également à déléguer un certain nombre de fonctionnaires auxquels elles donneront pour instructions d'assister les agents pour les aider dans leurs travaux. S'il se présente des complications avec les gens du pays, ces délégués auront le devoir de les régler, de concert avec les autorités locales, de façon à ce que, dans la population, il ne puisse naître aucune méprise ni s'engager aucune querelle.\n\nSi les incidents prennent un caractère de gravité et ne peuvent être réglés sur les lieux d'une façon satisfaisante, un rapport sera dressé pour permettre aux autorités du Yünnan de régler la chose avec le Consul-Général de France. Si la question excède les pouvoirs des hautes autorités elle sera portée à Pékin, où elle sera réglée entre le Gouvernement Chinois et le Ministre de France.\n\nArt. 32. Pendant la construction il sera versé mensuellement aux hautes autorités de Yunnan une somme de 4,450 taëls pour subvenir aux frais d'entretien, de déplacements, du haut fonctionnaire résidant à Mongtze, de deux mandarins sous ses ordres, s'occupant l'un des terrains et l'autre de la justice dans cette même ville, d'un fonctionnaire leur correspondant près des hautes autorités provinciales à Yunnan-Sen, de douze délégués désignés par la province pour aider à la construction de la voie, de dix chefs de police et de 240 hommes de garde, d'un interprète et de tous les fonctionnaires subalternes.\n\nArt. 33. Le présent Règlement, quand il aura été approuvé par le Gouvernement Chinois, constituera la règle définitive à laquelle seront soumises toutes les questions concernant la construction et l'exploitation du chemin de fer.\n\nArt. 34. Le Gouvernement Chinois, au bout de quatre-vingt ans, pourra entamer des négociations avec le Gouvernement Français pour reprendre la voie et toutes les propriétés s'y rattachant, moyennant le remboursement intégral des frais de construction, de la main d'œuvre industrielle, ainsi que des garanties d'intérêt payées et les dépenses de toute nature imputables au chemin de fer.\n\nSi à cette époque les dits frais, valeurs et dépenses ont été intégralement remboursés par les revenus de la ligne, la ligne et toutes ses dépendances pourront être remises gratuitement entre les mains des autorités du Yünnan, qui en prendront la direction.\n\nPour l'évaluation des frais de construction et tous autres, on prendra comme base les comptes budgétaires Français établis au moment où les négociations prévues ci-dessus s'engageraient pour estimer si la Chine aurait ou non à effectuer éventuellement un paiement avant d'entrer en possession du chemin de fer.\n\nFait et signé au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères à Pékin, en quatre originaux, le 29 Octobre, 1903 (le 10 jour de la 9e lune de la 29e année Kouang-Siu), par leurs Excellences M. Lien-Fang, Secrétaire d'État au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères de Chine, et M.

The discrepancy in the date formerly given was due to differences between the Chinese and Western calendars.\n\nHe has the money in his government departments here, but he fears that local branches of banks will not be able to transmit so large a sum in time. He begs you to telegraph to remit the sum to the credit of the Chinese Minister in the USA at New York, and if the loan agreement should fail, he promises to refund it with interest on demand.\n\nThe Loan Agreement as drafted by Consul General at Hankow and accepted by the Viceroy at Wuchang is satisfactory. He received my 15th August telegram.\n\nof British (but not directly) commercial interests, and if it is certain that Imperial Decree has been issued authorising the loan, I think that the Secretary of State would undoubtedly approve his proposal if communicated here. But time presses, so I have explained the situation to Sir M. Nathan and that he should be kept definitely informed as to how many days the telegram takes from here to New York.\n\nIf it is decided to accept the Government's proposal, the wording should be as in the telegram.\n\n(See article header in yesterday's `Fine`, the 6+7).\n\nThere is not time to send this to Sir M. Ommannes, Secretary of State. We must approve what Sir M. Nathan does with knowledge both of the local circumstances and of Mr. Lyttelton's views, which makes it necessary to take action at once.\n\n`C.PL. 5.

The other scheme proposed and advocated by Litton, viz., railway Bhamo to Tengyueh, is favoured by the Burmah Government, but in regard to this proposal also the India Office and Indian Government appear lukewarm. The Lieutenant-Governor of Burmah appears to think that a rough survey of the Yunchou-Mitu portion of the Lashio-Tali-fu line would be useful, in order to show if latter is or is not practicable (see section 7 of despatch of the 29th June).\n\nPage 93 \nPage 315",

(Réponse Officielle.)**\n\nPékin, le 22 Décembre, 1904.\n\nLE 24 jour de la 10 lune de la 30 année Kuanghsü (le 30 Novembre, 1904) nous avons reçu des Plénipotentiaires étrangers une note collective de la teneur suivante:\n\n[Résumé de la dépêche adressée au Wai-wou Pou en date du 26 Novembre dernier.]\n\nDe plus, le 13 jour de ce mois (19 Décembre) nous avons reçu une lettre de votre Excellence, dans laquelle, en sa qualité de Doyen, elle nous presse de rendre réponse à la note susmentionnée.\n\nLes droits sur les passes de transit et sur les \"Huchao\" ont été perçus jusqu'ici par les Douanes de Tien-tsin, sans que les Représentants étrangers aient jamais formé opposition à cette mesure. Pour quelle raison tous les Ministres étrangers croient-ils devoir protester (contre cette perception) maintenant, au moment même où nous établissons des Règlements précis? Enfin, puisque cette perception ne satisfait pas les Représentants des Puissances, la question peut être remise en délibéré. Outre que nous avons déjà envoyé à tous les bureaux de Douane l'instruction de suspendre temporairement la perception, notre Département va, d'autre part, examiner et étudier la question afin de trouver quelque autre façon de procéder.\n\nNous croyons devoir faire cette communication préalable à votre Excellence et la prier, en sa qualité de Doyen du Corps Diplomatique, de vouloir bien en donner connaissance aux Ministres étrangers résidant à Pékin, afin qu'ils en prennent acte.\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nDoyen of the Corps Diplomatique to Prince Ching.\n\nMonseigneur,\n\nPékin, le 9 Janvier, 1905.\n\nJ'AI l'honneur d'accuser réception de la lettre en date du 22 Décembre, par laquelle votre Altesse a bien voulu faire savoir qu'elle a donné à tous les bureaux de Douanes l'instruction de suspendre temporairement la perception des taxes mises sur les passes de transit et les \"Huchao.\"\n\nVotre Altesse, cependant, paraît s'étonner que le Corps Diplomatique n'ait pas fait plus tôt opposition à cette mesure et, puisque les Règlements récents ne nous donnent pas satisfaction, elle se propose de faire rechercher quelque autre façon de procéder.\n\nPage 437",

Lorsqu'une marque aura été enregistrée, on devra rappeler le numéro d'enregistrement.\n\n6. Lorsqu'une marque aura été enregistrée dans un pays étranger, on devra, en demandant l'enregistrement (en Chine), remettre une copie du certificat délivré par l'Administration du pays d'origine.\n\n7. Toute demande de renouvellement de la période de validité devra être appuyée par la présentation d'un certificat d'enregistrement.\n\n8. Lorsque les énonciations de requêtes, notices, ou les modèles des marques ne présenteront pas une clarté suffisante, ou seront incomplètes, le Bureau d'Enregistrement pourra fixer un délai dans lequel on aura à rectifier ou compléter et à donner réponse au Bureau.\n\n9. Il ne sera pas donné suite aux demandes d'enregistrement ou autres pour lesquelles les délais fixés, soit par le Règlement sur l'enregistrement des marques commerciales, soit, suivant les cas, par le Bureau d'Enregistrement, n'auraient pas été observés. (Ces délais seront fixés en tenant compte de la distance et suivant le plus ou moins de facilités des circonstances.)\n\n10.

Si le pétitionnaire s'est conformé aux dispositions de l'Article 10 ci-dessus, il sera procédé à l'enregistrement et le certificat pourra être délivré.\n\n12.

Les demandes d'annulation d'enregistrement prévues à l'Article 13 du Règlement sur l'enregistrement devront être présentées en duplicata. Les requêtes de cette nature devront faire mention détaillée des motifs pour lesquels la radiation est demandée, et elles seront accompagnées des objets pouvant servir de pièces à conviction, s'il y en a.\n\n14. Lorsqu'il se présentera des cas du genre de ceux dont il est question à l'Article précédent, le Bureau d'Enregistrement mettra l'original de la plainte dans ses archives et remettra le duplicata au défendeur, en l'invitant à présenter ses observations dans un délai qui lui sera fixé, et traitera l'affaire d'après l'examen des dires des deux parties.\n\n15. En cas de radiation d'une marque de fabrique, ou de l'abandon de l'usage d'une marque par son propriétaire, ou encore de cessation de commerce, le Bureau d'Enregistrement invitera au plus tôt l'intéressé à lui retourner le certificat.\n\n16. Lorsque les descendants continueront à faire emploi des droits d'usage exclusif d'une marque commerciale, ils devront fournir au Bureau d'Enregistrement la preuve (de l'hérédité), et demander la délivrance d'un certificat d'enregistrement modificatif.\n\n17. Lorsque le transfert des droits sur une marque donne lieu à enregistrement, la demande en devra être faite en commun par les intéressés, et il devra y être joint un certificat d'enregistrement.\n\n18. Si le propriétaire d'une marque de fabrique venait à changer de résidence, s'il changeait de mandataire ou représentant, avis devrait en être aussitôt donné.\n\n19.

I assume that we will build our section in the same way as all other colonial railways have been built, that is either by contract or departmentally under the supervision of Her Majesty's Agents of our Consulting Engineers, supplying and delivering all imported materials, such as rails, sleepers, cement, contractor's plant, workshop materials & tools, signalling and water supply plant, switches & crossings, turntables, locomotives and rolling stock.\n\n## 12/1.\n\nI saw Mr. Resuit today and discussed the proposed amendments. I told him that we are prepared to agree to Sir J. Wolfe Barry's decision alone as C.E. on the understanding between ourselves that his decision as C.R. will be final when we are concerned. As for purchases in common, the Technical Committee states that they will make their purchases (as they did for the Shanghai Nanking line) after tender.\n\nSee Sutton's letter. It would curtail our work to arrange through C.Q. & C. to Zangkwand.\n\nThe Belgians who are inspecting there's bathing good and bad, better and less, so that their practice is apparently identical to that of the C.A. The Corporation have perforce adopted the departmental system of construction for the railway.\n\nI will now send on Keswick's copy herewith, drawing in black with the amendments we propose. I have found your points (1) attaching specification of the time (2) definition of profits excluding capital expenditure. He says (1) he will consult with J. Wolfe Barry; he has no objection in principle so long as delay is not caused by the Agents.\n\nThings from two specifications, if adopted, can furnish examples of cost. It will be a perfect well if we have about six weeks of extra delay. There seems to be while the Chinese are studying it. I think we need not press if he does not object.\n\n(2) We have great difficulty in getting the Chinese to put down more money for capital improvements and that the efficiency of the line will be impaired if we act on their question.\n\nI think there is a great deal to be said in favour of this view. Anyway, it is a vital question of great importance.\n\n## Correspondence References\n`C.PL. 7`, `19/1`, `ZWx0`, `10/17`, `187/1`",

I think, therefore, that we should allow Sir John to write off the amount, and to express his views to the officers concerned.\n\nAt the end of para: 14, he proposes that Johnston should be invited to explain why he came to recommend an ex-convict for this responsible post.\n\nMr C. Wile Kunsty, Mr Wang, & Mr Lucas were at fault.\n\nI am inclined to agree with both the tel's minutes. Whatever the law may be, I think that it is right that if A.B. is appointed to collect revenue, then he is personally responsible for the cash. If C.D. is the person appointed to supervise A.B., then A.B. should not be pecuniarily liable for the default, but C.D. should be liable to disciplinary measures for neglecting to supervise A.B.\n\nI think that Mr Johnston and Mr Thomson are the chief offenders. For the reasons stated above, in the circumstances, the amount of blame attached to Mr Omme & Mr Ross is considered less.\n\nThe justices will be asked to censure all concerned, writing off the loss.\n\nMr Lucas suggests that we should not only proceed 7/8 but also comment upon the undesirability of giving revenue work to police officers if it can possibly be avoided. \"C.PL.\" | col | col

Even when they're done, the School will apparently become a secondary school: the Lower School in which there are classes besides the two Preparatory Classes.\n\n1. It appears to be mainly an Elementary School (The paper of particulars for managers says that the Junior and Senior classes are largely employed in Elementary Education.) \n| Type of School | Classes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lower School | Classes besides two Preparatory Classes |\n| Upper School | Classes I to VI |\n\nThe dual arrangement of English & Chinese Classes refers to the Upper School.\n\nAs I understand it, what is now being done is to substitute the Anglo-Chinese Schools to some extent for the Preparatory Classes which are taking a long time and that the Preparatory Classes will be abolished. I gather further that the teaching in the Lower School is becoming more elementary.\n\nClass IV seems to be in the same state as the Lower elementary.\n\nThe Upper School (12020) is being examined. This is consistent with para 4 of `12020/66`.\n\nPage 418 \n460",

They are provided with Government quarters, fuel and light, whereas rent is a very heavy item of local expenditure on the part of persons for whom no such provision is made, and a great proportion are also unmarried and live in messes, an arrangement which greatly reduces the necessary cost of living. It is the class above these, such as schoolmasters and the junior European officers...\n\nwith the exception of ... that the scale of pay compares favourably with that in most other parts of the Empire, and ... house rent is less than in most other colonies.\n\nThe contents of this despatch are confidential.\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.**  \n\nFile `CO 292/01/529`, Rec `RES 12 AUG 06`, `GR17667`, `C.PL. 20`, `XCR(18/0)`",

The authorities proposed to find the funds and start building, the work to be taken over when the trade shares should have been collected and the official advance repaid out of them.\n\nIt was submitted to the meeting whether from the trade instalments paid 60,000 dollars should be provided and a request made to take over the building.\n\nThe meeting decided to defer the subject to a future date.\n\nIndividual.\n\n06 June\n\nConfidential Paper.\n\n0890 HONG KONG N208\n\n(Subject.) 20891 RECEIVED 11 JUL 06\n\nCanton Kowloon Railway\n\nCopy deep from Archives forwarded; copies of correspondence & reporting steps taken with a view to obtaining some progress in the negotiations.\n\n381\n\n13 APR 2000\n\nSubsequent Paper.\n\n(Minutes.)

Let's correct them:\n- \"TED FOR USE EASTERN\" could be \"TEL FOR USE EASTERN\" but without context, it's hard to be sure; however, \"TEL\" is not a standard abbreviation here, so we leave it as is for now.\n- \"AL OFFICE\" should be \"ALL OFFICE\"\n- \"LONIAL\" should be \"COLONIAL\"\n- \"fice\" should be \"Office\"\n- \"thenese\" is unclear, possibly \"Chinese\"\n- \"Vexation La\" could be \"Legislation\" or another legal term, but \"Vexation Law\" is a plausible correction.\n- \"st\" should be \"last\"\n- \"documentas\" should be \"documents\"\n- \"Cordence\" should be \"Correspondence\"\n- \"kcery\" is unclear, possibly \"certain\"\n- \"interesto\" should be \"interests\"\n- \"Corfortior\" should be \"Corporation\"\n- \"Minules\" should be \"Minutes\"\n- \"Lures\" is unclear, possibly \"Lords\"\n- \"Ack\" should be \"Ackn\" or \"Acknowledge,\" but \"Ack\" is a plausible abbreviation.\n- \"Forz\" is unclear.\n- \"V.ns.\" is unclear, possibly \"Viscounts\" or an abbreviation.\n- \"C.PL\" is unclear, possibly \"Council\" or another abbreviation.\n- \"atonce\" should be \"at once\"\n\n## Step 2: Format the text into proper paragraphs and apply Markdown where necessary.\nGiven the corrections and the original text, let's format it:\n\nTED FOR USE EASTERN 10 88.

He has no copy of the Regulations which govern the grant of gratuities or pensions to members of the Hong Kong Police Force and gave me from memory what he believed to be the import of them. I will be much obliged if you will furnish me with a copy of those Regulations.\n\nOn the part of Mr McDonald I desire to say that his Petition to Lord Elgin for reconsideration of his case was not presented because it was thought there existed legal grounds for claiming a pension. It was, as I think the Petition shows, on other humanitarian grounds that he made his appeal, and if the Regulations have not the sanction of an Act of Parliament in tying Lord Elgin's hands, it appeared to me there was a prima facie case for reconsideration by His Lordship of the manner in which Mr McDonald had been dealt with at a time when from severe illness, contracted in the service, he was not able to represent and press his case on the notice of the responsible authorities.\n\nI assume what you point out in the last paragraph of your letter to be correct, but it does not, as it appears to me, alter in the least, the complexion of the case. It is, I think, not quite accurate to refer as you do to Mr McDonald's severance from the Police Force as \"retirement\". His connection with the Force was not voluntarily severed.\n\n## Step-by-step analysis of the problem:\n1. **Initial Assessment**: The given text appears to be an OCR output of a historical document related to Hong Kong, specifically concerning a petition or appeal by Mr. McDonald regarding his service in the Hong Kong Police Force.\n2. **Identifying Issues**: The text contains numerous OCR errors, including spelling mistakes, incorrect spacing, and what seems to be a mix of unrelated or fragmented sentences at the beginning.\n3. **Understanding the Task**: The task involves proofreading the OCR output to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, rejoin broken sentences, and restore paragraph breaks while maintaining the original content and structure as much as possible.\n4. **Analyzing the Content**: The text transitions from seemingly unrelated or garbled content at the start to a coherent letter from someone in Edinburgh to an unspecified recipient, discussing Mr. McDonald's case and the regulations governing gratuities or pensions for the Hong Kong Police Force.\n\n## Fixed solution:\n```html\nRe-employment law. Sort which average made under the laws of the colony. That, if willing to and the State King take his discharge back, if fit, he will raise his re-enlistment when a vacancy occurs.\n\nA man in the Service, but that his two periods of service could be counted together, if the gratuity which he has received in the meantime is refunded if they will take him back.\n\n&c. And why should he come forward? Relief Act 12. Even if continuous, how have breaks for 1½ years to be permissible, & what weight is my opinion worth? Omit A above. He could count his service as 64...\n\nRefund this gratuity. But I can find either special to the Police or general rule a temporary allowance which we allow him & count his former service. Under a general rule, a break can be provided for long service. During which this break of 7 years or other employment cannot be counted.\n\nHis case has not been even moderately considered. It has been impossible to regard any general rules, specially hard cases, freeing that he recovered his health to a considerable extent.\n\nHave the pension rules been sent? & I should explain as to rejoining the Service as in M: Fidder Draft - Let me see draft C.PL 24 at once.\n\nSir,\n\nR\n\nC742 42/97\n\nTRECE\n\nJAKE 20 NOV 06\n\n5 Thistle Street,\n\nEDINBURGH, 19th November 1906.\n\n1\n\n27.687/1906.\n\nI beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 8th August last, and have since had an opportunity of conferring with Mr McDonald on the subject of it. He has no copy of the Regulations which govern the grant of gratuities or pensions to members of the Hong Kong Police Force and gave me from memory what he believed to be the import of them. I will be much obliged if you will furnish me with a copy of those Regulations.\n\nOn the part of Mr McDonald I desire to say that his Petition to Lord Elgin for reconsideration of his case was not presented because it was thought there existed legal grounds for claiming a pension.

It is, I think, not quite accurate to refer as you do to Mr McDonald's severance from the Police Force as \"retirement\". His connection with the Force was not voluntarily severed.\n\n```\n\n## Explanation of changes:\n* **Corrected Spelling Errors**: Numerous spelling mistakes were corrected throughout the text, such as \"withing\" to \"willing\", \"amald\" to \"discharge\", \"seanlistment\" to \"re-enlistment\", \"tropans\" to \"man\", \"coed\" to \"could\", \"dewien\" to \"service\", \"Pohin\" to \"Police\", \"serien\" to \"service\", \"Empolopacale\" to \"employment\", \"conte\" to \"counted\", \"Bahhas been im\" to \"His case has not been\", \"freing\" to \"freeing\", \"Mulations\" to \"rules\", \"anslegumel\" to a possible misinterpretation but left as is due to uncertainty, and \"Fidder Dritate\" to \"Fidder Draft\".\n* **Fixed Spacing Issues**: Extra spaces were removed, and missing spaces were added to improve readability and correct sentence structure.\n* **Rejoined Broken Sentences**: Sentences that were split due to OCR errors were rejoined to form coherent paragraphs.\n* **Restored Paragraph Breaks**: The text was formatted into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n* **Indicated Missing Words**: Where a word was clearly missing, \"...\" was considered but not directly applied in this solution due to the nature of the corrections made.\n* **Maintained Original Content**: Care was taken to preserve the original tone, style, and content as much as possible while correcting errors.\n\n## Tests and example uses:\nThe corrected HTML output can be used directly in digital archives or historical document databases. It can also be further processed for analysis or inclusion in historical studies related to the Hong Kong Police Force and pension regulations.",

The whole of the revenue is not necessary to continue the solution (b) or (c) with...\n\nNo. 289.\n\nHongkong.\n\n40075\n\nMy Lord,\n\n144555\n\n26 DEC 07\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 23rd November, 1907.\n\nI have the honour to inform Your Lordship that I have had under my consideration in connection with the Annual Estimates the subject of the Postal Agencies in various Treaty Ports of China which are maintained by this Government.\n\n2.\n\nYour Lordship will have seen from my Despatch No.260 of the 14th October, 1907, covering the Estimates, and from the observations which I made in the Legislative Council when introducing them, that a decrease of Revenue is anticipated, and that the sources from which the Revenue is obtained are precarious while the Colony stands committed to several expensive works in addition to the construction of the Kowloon-Canton Railway. In these circumstances it has become necessary to examine somewhat closely the question of expenditure upon these Postal Agencies.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nTHE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.,\n\n&C.\n\n80.\n\n·\n\nAgencies",

Mr. Fletcher is sending me the salary details. Both the salary and the argument of why it should be fixed higher than a Class III appointment are another matter.\n\nThe argument that it ought to be the equivalent of the salaries of the Assessor of Rates & the Deputy Registrar is met by a reference to the fact that they are getting sterling salaries, whereas the new post is being paid in Hong Kong dollars. Sir C. Lucas points out that raising the sterling equivalent salary to ₤420-₤5240 involves the creation of a new post.\n\nI think this is allowed, also that preference should be given to Cadet officers but not confined to the Cadet service. Mr. Fletcher showed that the Senior Cadet appointed attends to the work during his leave.\n\n### Condition of Appointment\n\nSomething about the salary question is disposed of by the remarks to which Harding refers. You will see them; I do not trouble to send them as I need them in another connection. - Lugard had not dispatched a written despatch on Yaka Ser 7.\n\nI will explain fully in the next despatch.

        "content_text": "4\n\nHaving referred the question to their Excellencies the Viceroy and the Governor, I am in receipt of the following telegraphic instructions :--\n\n\"Under the Agreement of the Eastern Chinese Railway Company the Chinese Government consented to certain Regulations for the construction of a railway line. The Agreement in question is not of the same nature as a Treaty between the two Governments.\n\nThe phrase 'exclusive rights of administration within the boundaries of the land purchased by the Railway Company' means the exclusive right of management of all matters pertaining to the railway, e.g., construction of workshops, railway stations, &c. Naturally the Railway Company must have the control of all matters within their province; but questions of jurisdiction, police, sanitation, in the adjoining territory are still in the hands of the Chinese Government. The railway land is not of the nature of a Concession, and the administration of it has no connection with the Company's commercial interests.\n\nIt is entirely unreasonable to suppose that a Government in making an Agreement with a public Company would abandon its rights of territorial sovereignty, and the Company should not therefore exceed the limits of the powers granted to them.\n\nIn proposing to establish an organization for territorial administration the railway has misunderstood the significance of the word 'administration' as used in the Agreement, and it is impossible for the Chinese Government to assent to the Company's contention.\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nPrince Ch'ing to Sir J. Jordan.\n\n(Translation.) Sir,\n\nWITH regard to the various inquiries which have been made at the Board by Foreign Representatives respecting the establishment by Russian merchants of an Administrative Council at Harbin, I have the honour to inform your Excellency that the Viceroy of Manchuria and Governor of Fengtien reported by telegraph towards the end of last year, in reference to this matter that the Russians at Harbin were establishing an Administrative Council in the territory belonging to the railway, to which officers were being elected, the Consuls of various Powers being qualified to vote.\n\nThe Board thereupon addressed a communication to the Russian Minister, M. Pokotilow, with a view to the prohibition of these proceedings and with the request that the municipal Regulations in question might be withdrawn.\n\nM. Pokotilow's reply to this communication was to the effect that Article 6 of the Chinese Eastern Railway Agreement conferred upon the Railway Company an absolute and exclusive right of administration in the territory occupied by them and that by establishing Administrative Councils in the various localities belonging to the railway the Company were in no wise going beyond their rights acquired under Article 6.\n\nThe Board protested against this contention, and pointed out that the occupation of lands under Article 6 of the Railway Agreement only meant that on lands really and effectively occupied by the railway, the Company had the right to erect buildings of all sorts and to set up telegraph lines under the exclusive management of the Company, for railway use; but that all matters connected with public safety and local administration still devolved upon the Chinese authorities to administer independently. This was shown by Article 5, which expressly stipulated that “the Chinese Government will take measures for the protection of the line and of the men employed thereon. All crimes and lawsuits arising on the land of the Company will be dealt with by the local officials in accordance with Treaty.\" From this it was sufficiently evident that the administrative powers in these lands were entirely vested in China, beyond any doubt whatsoever. The establishment by the Company of these Administrative Councils was therefore clearly an infraction of China's sovereign rights and the Board could under no circumstances consent thereto.\n\nI have the honour to bring this correspondence to the knowledge of your Excellency, and avail, &c.\n\n5\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nSir J.

        "content_text": "## Dans des notes présentées à ce sujet aux Gouvernements de Chine et de Russie, ainsi que dans leurs communications verbales, ces représentants ont tâché d'établir que certains articles de la convention signée à Pékin le 27 avril (10 mai), année courante, portaient préjudice aux droits d'exterritorialité, assurés à leurs ressortissants par les traités avec la Chine, et que ces articles, ainsi que certaines mesures administratives adoptées à Kharbine, étaient en contravention avec le régime de \"concessions internationales\" qui, à leur avis, auraient été introduit récemment dans cette ville.\n\nIl n'est pas difficile de démontrer que ce point de vue est basé sur un malentendu, car d'abord les droits d'exterritorialité, en tant qu'ils sont assurés par les traités, ne comprennent que l'avantage de chaque étranger d'être jugé par son propre consul, mais ne le dispensent nullement du devoir de payer les taxes municipales et autres, et de se soumettre au régime existant dans la localité où il réside.\n\nOr, ces régimes ne sont point uniformes en Chine, et varient selon le type de concession adopté dans tel ou autre port en vertu de conventions spéciales conclues à ce sujet avec la Chine. Ainsi, à Tien-tsin et à Hankéou chaque nationalité a sa propre concession; à Chang-Hai la concession est internationale; à Tsinanfou, Souchéou, Ning-Po, et autres il n'y a point de concessions européennes, l'administration étant purement chinoise. Une seule règle commune aux différentes localités ouvertes au commerce étranger en Chine, c'est que tout étranger qui veut s'y établir est tenu à se soumettre aux règlements et taxes existants, tout en conservant en pleine vigueur son exterritorialité judiciaire.\n\nLa différence entre les ports ouverts purement chinois, dans lesquels il n'existe point de concessions ou settlements étrangers et ceux ouverts sur les terrains du Chemin de Fer de l'Est chinois, consiste en ce que l'autorité chinoise possède, dans la première catégorie de ports, la pleine et entière liberté d'y établir le régime d'administration qu'elle croit bon. Dans la seconde catégorie elle est liée par son contrat du 16 (28) août 1896, dont l'article 6 stipule que la compagnie du chemin de fer \"aura le droit absolu et exclusif de l'administration de ses terrains,\" et par la convention du 27 avril (10 mai), qui a pour but de confirmer et de développer le contrat mentionné plus haut. Par ces deux actes la Chine a délégué son droit d'administration dans les terrains du chemin de fer à une compagnie russo-chinoise agissant comme concessionnaire privé. Par conséquent, la compagnie, en exerçant son contrôle dans Kharbine et les autres centres d'habitation situés sur ses terrains, agit en qualité d'organe de l'État chinois. Et comme dans les ports ouverts de la Chine intérieure les étrangers sont obligés de se soumettre au régime de la vie civile qui y est établie la Chine, excepté ceux qui touchent à leur juridiction, de même ils sont tenus sur les terrains du chemin de fer à accepter les conditions créées par les deux actes précités.\n\nCette situation, autant qu'elle concerne les relations internationales, est d'ailleurs absolument conforme aux principes du Traité de Portsmouth. Pendant les négociations de ce traité les plénipotentiaires des deux Puissances, dans le but d'éviter toute cause de malentendu à l'avenir, ont déclaré que \"la concession de la construction et de l'exploitation du Chemin de Fer de l'Est chinois en Mandjourie n'est pas incompatible avec le principe de la porte ouverte et du traitement égal, et que dans les limites du terrain acquis en vertu de cette concession les sujets de Sa Majesté l'Empereur du Japon, ainsi que les ressortissants d'autres Puissances étrangères, jouiront des mêmes droits et privilèges que ceux de Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Russie.\"\n\nAinsi le Traité de Portsmouth n'établit que le devoir pour la Russie de donner à tous les étrangers sur le terrain du chemin de fer les mêmes droits qu'aux sujets russes. Ce devoir est strictement rempli par le régime établi sur le terrain du chemin de fer, en vertu duquel les étrangers y jouissent absolument des mêmes droits civils, jusqu'au droit de prendre part à l'administration municipale.\n\nUn autre malentendu paraît avoir donné lieu à l'assertion que Kharbine aurait été transformé récemment en concession internationale.\" Il y a lieu d'affirmer positivement que telle n'a jamais été l'intention des deux parties contractantes, et que ce terme même n'a jamais été employé dans la correspondance échangée par elles, ni dans la convention du 27 avril (10 mai).\n\nAfin de préciser le caractère tout à fait spécial de la situation légale de Kharbine, il est peut-être utile de jeter un coup d'œil rétrospectif sur les principales étapes juridiques traversées par cette question qui ont amené à la situation actuelle.\n\nAyant créé sur ses terrains et à ses frais la ville de Kharbine, la compagnie du chemin de fer a assumé, en vertu de l'article 6 de la concession de 1896, le devoir d'administrer cette ville.\n\nLorsque le Gouvernement chinois a ouvert Kharbine au commerce étranger il n'a aucunement eu l'intention d'invalider son contrat avec la société du chemin de fer. Il a simplement donné aux étrangers le droit de résidence et de commerce à Kharbine, et tout au plus le droit de demander que ce Gouvernement leur indique le territoire sur lequel ces droits pourraient être exercés.\n\nPlus tard, à mesure que la population chinoise à Kharbine a augmenté et que l'article 6 du contrat précité, qui d'ailleurs avait été dès le début rédigé en des termes un peu vagues donnait lieu à des malentendus entre l'administration municipale et les marchands chinois, la société du chemin de fer a repris ses négociations avec le Gouvernement chinois dans le but de préciser ses droits stipulés dans l'article 6. Ces négociations ont abouti à la signature de la convention du 27 avril (10 mai), qui, loin de porter atteinte au contrat de 1896, sert au contraire à le confirmer et à le développer. Elle ne change en rien la situation légale établie par le contrat précité, tout en ouvrant largement la porte aux étrangers sans distinction de nationalité, et en leur donnant le droit non seulement de résider dans cette ville, mais encore d'y prendre part au même titre que les Russes et les Chinois à l'administration municipale.\n\nEn même temps la Russie n'a créé aucun obstacle aux étrangers résidant à Kharbine d'y jouir du privilège prévu par les traités avec la Chine en vertu desquels la juridiction des étrangers appartient exclusivement à leurs consuls, à condition toutefois que ceux-ci fussent munis par leurs Gouvernements d'instructions explicites, précisant le devoir de leurs nationaux de se soumettre, au même titre que le reste de la population, à tous les règlements et dispositions de l'autorité administrative locale, tant par rapport aux taxes et perceptions établies pour cette population, qu'en ce qui concerne les mesures sanitaires et autres.\n\nIl est donc évident de tout ce qui précède que Kharbine, en vertu des actes juridiques qui le concernent, aussi bien que des traditions et circonstances locales par lesquelles il a passé, diffère de tous les autres settlements existant en Chine, surtout par son régime tout particulièrement libéral et hospitalier par rapport aux étrangers.\n\nPour conclure, il importe d'observer que les malentendus qui ont eu lieu ces derniers temps, à la suite d'une rédaction trop vague de l'article 6, ont créé sur le territoire du Chemin de Fer de l'Est chinois une situation instable, qui enlève à la population russe et étrangère la certitude de pouvoir s'y établir d'une manière solide et d'y créer des intérêts de commerce sérieux. La situation change complètement par la convention du 27 avril (10 mai) et les prochains règlements concernant l'administration civile sur le territoire du chemin de fer. Grâce à ces actes, il n'y aura plus d'obstacles au développement sur ce territoire d'une vie civile et commerciale. Il est par conséquent dans l'intérêt même des Puissances de contribuer à la prompte terminaison des négociations en cours entre la Russie et la Chine et de ne pas mettre d'obstacles à leur marche. Une attitude contraire prolongerait l'état de désorganisation qui règne dans les cités se trouvant sur les terrains du chemin de fer et rendrait impossible l'entretien de ces cités que la compagnie ne pourrait évidemment pas prendre à ses frais.\n\n742",
