I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family. My brothers, and sisters, and cousins, understanding the bargain I had made, told me I had given four times as much for it as it was worth, put me in mind what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly, that I cried with vexation.

        "content_text": "## THE GOVERNOR'S STATISTICS.\n\n### SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS.\n\n## SPOTS OF INTEREST ON THE ADJACENT MAINLAND.\n\n### CHUEN-WAN\n\nCounsel, whose mind is of far too logical a nature, stands first. As was well said by the Hon. W. KESWICK in the Council Chamber some months ago, Hongkong ought not to be made the prison-house of South China. Such, however, it must inevitably become unless steps be taken to keep the Colony free from the habitual criminals from Kwangtung, instead of, by tender treatment and good board and lodging, practically holding out to them an invitation to pay the island periodical visits for purposes of plunder.\n\nThe other pass, known as the Shing-moon pass, leads to the eastward of the great Tai-mo-shan, the lofty mountain peak, by far the highest in the neighbourhood, at the foot of which Chüen-wan is situated, skirts the villages near Castlepeak Bay, passing through Shap-pat-heung, or the eighteen villages, which lie on the Eastern side of Deep Bay; then by the bank of the half canal half creek which gives junk communication between Sam-chun and San-hu, or new market, and thence into the heart of the Tung-koon district to Shok-lung, which communicates with Canton via Kaulung City and the pass beyond to the northward.\n\nThe intending traveller from Hongkong to Sam-chun crosses the harbour by the Yau-mak-tee ferry. From Yau-mah-tee he walks through Kowloon City to Chuen-wan, and sees to recant the opinions thus ably expressed in the report at the foot of which his signature leads to the eastward. We have had new and doubtful experiments tried, while some excellent provisions, the repressive character of which had been proved by the experience of many years, were relaxed, and groundless leniency shown to convicted murderers.\n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR mainly responsible for the present position of affairs-October 7th. It is important, when tracing the great increase of crime in the Colony to its sources, nor to lose sight of any conducing causes that have been overlooked, full credit will be given for them. Among other matters referred to in the schedule of documents laid before the Committee appointed to inquire into the Police Duties, is a reference to a despatch by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY to Lord CARNARVON two years back in which he seems to anticipate a serious increase of crime consequent on the lowering of the fares by the Canton river steamers. Mr. HENNESSY certainly makes a point here.\n\nThe anchorage in Chüen-wan Bay is regarded by junk masters as a peculiarly safe one, with good holding ground, hence the selection of this spot in former days by pirates as their depot or stronghold, to which they repaired for refitting their craft or disposing of their ill-gotten gains, and for which purpose Chien-wan presents singular facilities in the fact that the two passes through the mountains into the Tung-koon and Wei-chow districts and the wealthy and populous towns to the northward and eastward may be approached either by Chien-wan.\n\nAfter landing, which is a somewhat difficult business on account of the mud, walk up past the villages by a stone-paved path, often shaded by trees, then, turning to the left, up the mountain side several pretty Chinese water mills may be seen. These water wheels are worked by a wooden shaft on which are projecting knobs which depress a lever, on the other end of which is a heavy stone pestle, which thus alternately elevated and allowed to fall, pulverizes the sandalwood or other substance contained in a large stone mortar beneath.\n\nIn the village of Chen-wan the manufacture of incense or Chinese joss-stick is carried on on a somewhat extensive scale, the principal ingredient being sandalwood powdered in the mills I have referred to. Chinese vermicelli is also made here.\n\nOr to those not afraid of the long Chinese walk, or provided with chairs, a visit to the lead mine spoken of before might not be without its interest. The locality is about half a mile beyond the village of Shing-moun, at the top of the pass. One able to endure the fatigue would be well repaid by the magnificent view of Tai-tú-shan with Mirs Bay, and its surrounding mountains, notably the curious saddle mountain, or Ma-on-shau, on the other.\n\nAs a few lines about the place where the robbers of Tuesday night, 24th ultimo, landed after committing their raid on the Cheung Shing goldsmiths shop may be of public interest at the present time we will in as few words as possible give a brief sketch of the place. Chien-wan Bay, called in olden times Pirates Bay, is a shallow inlet situated about a mile to the eastward of the Cap-shui-moon and some two miles or more to the northward and westward of Stonecutters' Island.\n\nThe bay itself is some half-mile broad, by about the same depth, and shallowing so gradually that sufficient depth of water for a launch could not be found at less than a hundred yards or more from the shore in any part. Chien-wan is approached from Stonecutters Island by a passage between the mainland and the Island of Chung-hü. This passage, after passing the large Island of Chung-hü, is termed Kai-chap-moon and is, after passing Ma-on Island, exposed for about half a mile, where it receives the protection of Ma-on Island.\n\nThis is the island which, situated between the large island of Nam-tai-o, or Tai-te-shan, and the mainland, forms the two passages leading over the mountains into densely populated plains. These plains are inhabited by an industrious, and, as Chinese go, honest population, but very turbulent and always carrying on clan fights amongst themselves, nearly every house or village being built as a fort.\n\nThe former is the passage taken by the Canton river steamers; the latter will be found convenient for boats or launches which are unable to make way against the strong tide running in the Cap-shui-moon, or for those who, dreading the pangs of sea sickness, wish to avoid the heavy seas which often have to be encountered when taking the more exposed route by Cap-shui-moon.\n\nPeople going out for an excursion would find the place not unworthy of a visit. The private residence of a wealthy Chinese well known as the Stanley great man is picturesquely situated amongst a grove of trees on a well-wooded hill side, and, although strangely built in the Chinese style of architecture, it was some years back captured by thieves, who after holding the house some hours, carried off everything of value, including the youngest and choicest of the unfortunate proprietor's concubines.\n\nThis Shing-moon leads down to the southern arm of Mirs Bay and so communicates by water with several nests of thieves and pirates in Mirs Bay or rather on the northern shore of the bay. These places thus referred to are at the extremity of passes through the mountains into the densely populated plains.\n\nThe Police report for `1877` showed an increase of `6.45` per cent. of serious crime and `23.86` per cent. of minor offences over the preceding year. In `1878` there was a much larger increase of serious crime, and since then things have gone from bad to worse, though attention has been called to the facts by the GOVERNOR in the Legislative Council and by the Press.\n\nHow, then, is it that a check has not sooner been given to this growth of crime? Mr. HENNESSY would seem to contend that the increase has been natural and inevitable; we maintain that its later and worst development is the fruit of His Excellency's mistaken policy. At a time when it was obvious that greater rigour should be observed in dealing with criminals, he indiscreetly denounced in strong terms the practice of former administrations and induced an impression among the criminal class that more lenient treatment would be dealt out to offenders in future, a notion that was still further confirmed by some highly judicious pardons granted by His Excellency.\n\nA reference to the return published in the Gazette of the number of pardons granted during fifteen months of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's administration and a like period of the present administration, it indicates nothing unless the relative numbers of conditional pardons be also published, if these are included, as we presume they are. Conditional pardons generally involve the absence of the pardoned from the Colony for a certain number of years.\n\n## DESPATCH.\n\n**No.** `13089`  \n**Date.** `14 OCT 78`  \n**Subject.** Midan Baraphrase of telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\nThe Crown Agents would be glad if the `15` constables on the usual conditions be engaged to fill the vacancies which may be expected at the end of the year.\n\n**(Minutes.)**  \nThere was scarcely any need for cipher.

Hitherto it appears to have been more or less of a farce.\n\nThe Views of the committee on deportation are valuable. \"If one statement is true ... Deportation is a good thing. Deportation is comparatively useless.\" Whatever is said about it, one thing is clear, not all who are deported return again.\n\n1. Hong Kong gets rid of some scoundrels at any rate by this means, and I think that under the present Governor there is little fear of its being abused.\n\n## The Gaol\nAs regards the gaol, as soon as adequate buildings are erected on the proper system, the prison discipline will become far more effective. Work at present appears to keep up the numbers. The gaol will probably provide some training in English convict prisons.\n\nThe suggestion that prisoners should be taught English seems to be a good one. The proposal respecting a fund to provide relief on leaving jail seems deserving of consideration. The former papers on the subject should be noticed. It will be seen that no decided opinion has yet been expressed as regards the robbery which called forth this report to the meeting to complain of insecurity of life and property `C.Pd. 15137`.\n\n## Department Reports\n2. May Department `p. 78` reported that in August there were vacancies in the European police. It was apparent in June whether they had been sent for, and had received an answer in October. Having heard nothing about the draft, Mr. Deane reported in `1879` that in opposition to the draft `15-`.\n\n## Police and Criminal Returns\nThe Police & Criminal returns for `78` have not been received from the Governor. As far as I can see, since August `77`, the returns have not been conducted for better under him than under the Acting Governor, especially as he had, while in England in `1878-`, some experience. M. Bramston noted that no men have gone out. Please answer.\n\nPage 363",

J. feels disposed to approve of the proposed relaxation of the rules as to sales of class - and we should find that if F.O. adopt the recommendation of Sir T. Wade it should be made plain to the Anglo-Chinese that no unregistered person found on board counting as British shall be considered as having any claim to British Protection.

Now that the voluntary system is introduced, the demand is made that the state should do more for the congregation than it did under the old regime.\n\nI do not follow this reasoning. Speak to Sir R.

        "content_text": "## \n18 \n\nAnother reason for raising Ivan locally is the desirability of giving Trustees and Executors the benefit of safe investments. I should agree if the object could be procured without additional cost to the Revenue, but the relief would be afforded only for a very short time, because, as the Chief Justice himself evidently sees, the Debentures would soon be absorbed by the various Public Companies, and very few, if any, would be available for Trustees and Executors.\n\nI learn by a private letter from Sir George Bower that there is a strong and determined opposition in Hongkong to raising the loan in England. I think here, in spite of local opposition, the loan should be raised in this country.\n\nThe local issue could then, I should fear, be for the benefit rather of those Insurance and other Companies referred to by the Committee, to which I would add the local Banks, than that of Trustees and Executors. Again, instead of the Committee advocating the early repayment of the Debentures, the relief contemplated will be required from time to time, and the Colony will be forced to draw upon the Crown Agents, who will raise funds here in the manner stated in the last paragraph until such time as on or before June 30th the aggregate so advanced shall be repaid, which amounts shall be provided by the actual sale of debentures.\n\n`XCR(85)72` is not present, however `C.Pd. 23. Dec` and `GR16/0` are. Telegraph accordingly with all dispatch in the sense of Sir W. Robinson's minute `C.Pd. 23. Dec`. The exigencies are only small sums will be required.",

Calling attention at the same time to the concluding words of S. Marquee as to starting a Chinese Society to ship off persons of this class.\n\nThe increase in the number of paying patients in the hospital is good evidence that D. Atkinson is appreciated and we should comment on it in acknowledging interest among other points, such as the increase of absence of epidemics and the increase of general disease.\n\nC.Pd 16 Oct.\n\nThe question of patent medicine should be raised - but, I think, by Mr. W. du Tax who is about to return from holiday.\n\nK. 19/10\n\nAlso on 17 Oct., M. Lucas wrote (594/14107.77) also on the subject.\n\nWhen I was at Shantou (Swatow), mendicant vagrants from Canton were simply shipped off to their homes. The only difficulty was Haiphong's (i.e., the Governor of Haiphong's) interference with that practice, which was taken under Order 8 of 1858 (Dec. 23, 1858) and 28(9) - which latter Ordinance is repealed by Dec. 10-8 of 1882. I am apprehensive that in order to get to the bottom of the question, the Dept. will have to examine the correspondence which closed with the despatch No. 277 of 25.10.\n\nM. Branston referred to Lord Carnarvon's despatch No. 3, January 1878, par. 31, which deals with the expatriation of mendicants and the proposal for the retention of the power of sending them back to the mainland.\n\nDeportation generally forms the subject of 96'/11-79 and 80, on which there is a long minute. The view taken by yourself and others was that the power should be retained but be sparingly used.\n\nThe Ordinance on the subject is 2/81.",

I made my calculations on the supposition that he would \"served\" apparently even with half pay would count for the purpose of this clause.\n\nFor the purpose of sub-clause 2, I would say that \"Served\" and \"a\" should be construed as necessary actions made for Grave (half or no pay). Counting to 7 June, he will have retired from that date.\n\nSir J. Russell's appointment as Chief Justice dates from 5 October 1888, so that on 7 September he will have held that Office for 3 years 11 months and six days, of which 43 days will have been on half pay leave, 1 year so that he has served over 3 years in that Office, & is clearly entitled to be pensioned on the basis of his salary here described as £2500 (12000$ at the last).\n\nHe was also appointed as an officiating Puisne Judge on 2 April 1883, so that on 7 June he will have served 45 months, of which about 1 year 4/10 months will have been on half pay leave, so that he has certainly completed 7 years serving as a Judge and has the option of taking his retiring allowance either on the Judicial scale for his period of service as a Judge or at ordinary pension rates for the whole of his service.\n\nHis judicial service being, after making due deduction in respect of his leave, between 8/9 years, it is obvious that the pension to which both the old & new Hong Kong Pension Rules assign for that period of judicial service is far less than what he can claim as an ordinary public servant.\n\nAs to his total net pensionable service, it is 25 years to months (net) counting to date.\n\nI told him I am personally giving him this in proof, and more is said. I asked him to speak to me to make sure it was all right.",

The question put to me may therefore be answered thus: that the will in itself would be considered illegal in Hongkong and would have been equally so at the time of signature, but that it would be rendered valid if the German authorities raised no objections against it.\n\nThe Consular Archives, which were mostly destroyed in a typhoon in 1874, unfortunately give no information as to the drawing up of the document; but I have found names on the blank sheets which are believed to be those of witnesses, and this tends to confirm the legalisation of the signatures by the then Consul, A. Einke, both from **prima facie** evidence and also on account of the corroboration. The question of signatures subscribed to a will may be explained by the fact that the legalising of the signatures and the making of the will were done at the same time. The want of a date to the will is unobjectionable...\n\nThe Imperial Vice Consul\n(Pd) Dr. Schrameyer",

The Order the inkstands through the Crown Agents, unless the Treasury are asked to present them. The Imperial Government ought to give them.

Not much, but there is a difficult question to be settled regarding whether the duties of Colonial Secretary and Registrar General can be combined. That will be brought up separately. I only mention the point here in connexion with rewarding for work in consequence of the plague; and if he is appointed it will not be proper to assign this as one of the reasons for the appointment in order to emphasise that it should be the exception rather than the rule to appoint the Colonial Secretary from the ranks of the colony.\n\nC.Pd. 12 Jan 55h 1287 Run 14/1 21414 Thane modified the terms of the draft movement as Sheriff finally shared that we recommend Gen.

In 1890, an ordinance was passed adding Mr. Chadwick to the Board.\n\nThe unofficial element in the Board was added, no doubt, in the hope of strengthening the Board and making it more popular. This is still apparently the opinion of the Sanitary officer, Mr. McCallum, who, in his evidence before the Medical Committee of the Sanitary Commission [p.52-3], supported this view.\n\nThe Board seems not to have worked well except during the plague, when the bulk of the work was done by committee; the Standing Committee was irregular, and the unofficial members' attendance on it was poor.

A step in this direction was taken in 1891 when it was proposed to enlist warders on the same terms as policemen. The terms were thought to be too liberal, and the proposal was not adopted.\n\nWe must now make the concession, not directly, but indirectly by strengthening the police force accordingly. If a policeman is sent to gaol duty, he should be kept at it for a considerable time. In the first instance, I would propose to send a dispatch to Mr. Mayne asking him whether he sees any objection to providing European warders from the ranks of the police, strengthening the police in like proportion. Afterwards, we might let Mr. Lethbridge, who is also in the country, have his say.\n\nThe Private Secretaries might take note again that we would be glad to transfer Mr. Lethbridge.\n\n`C.Pd. 27. C.O. 10979 REC (Dec 24 JUN 55)`\n\nPage 450  \nPage 451",

In that case I would propose to offer him to retire from those terms in about (say) two months' time, intimating his completion of 22 years, which I take to be the end of February next.\n\nLue Selborne.

We can't force him onto retirement at sixty without giving him some added (imaginary) years of service to enhance his pension. But he may prove willing to do so, if it is put nicely (i.e., without claiming more than regulations entitle him to). If you agree, Lucas can see him and report.\n\nWhat comes of this interview often shows that it is my duty to make new arrangements for the Medical Department of the Colony as well as the Sanitary arrangements of the City and Port, and Dr. Ayres is best the man to engineer a new arrangement for the Civil Service.\n\nPage 486",

Mr Cooper, Director of Public Works, thinks that in the hands of a medical officer of work, better results would be achieved, and the governor agrees.\n\nIt is amusing to see that Hongkong shoots its rubbish into China. I expect there are Chinese municipal gardeners beyond the frontier who are glad to get manure.\n\nThe idea of good sanitation and public health is important. If there were a municipality at Hongkong undertaking what an ordinary English municipality undertakes, there would really not be much left for the colonial government to do. The Hongkong community is a town community, and the Hongkong government is not much more than a Town Council. There is no room for two governing bodies.\n\nMr Cooper's view of the requirements of the colony opens up a prospect of almost limitless expense. It is difficult to see how Hongkong can be finally brought to a high sanitary condition until the government has brought up most of the city and outlying villages from their mud.\n\nMeanwhile, very much, in my opinion, depends on Mr Cafferkey himself, who understands the tongue (Cantonese) and the sanitary wants in a special manner, and in whose case the only fear is that he may break down under the work. Much has been done already, and is being done, and the freer he is, the better.\n\nAcknowledged with expression of interest.  \nC.Pd. 10 August.\n\nMr Lucas - It occurred to me while I was reading... \n... \n21227.92 \n50",

To this appointment of Gray had been attached, and therefore M. Ackroyd claimed and claims to revert to his original right of receiving pension at 4/2. His claim has been supported by the Hong Kong government, but it has been steadily refused by the Secretary of State, but the opinion at this office being, I think, unanimous against the claim. It has been held that having lost the right to 4/2, he has lost it altogether & cannot regain it. \n\nHe asks for an interview with Mi Chamberlain. This, I hope, will be granted. He has been a most meritorious officer.\n\n## \n2. That the point at issue may be left to the decision of the Legislative Council of the colony. In that case, he will probably get what he wants. That it should be left to the Legislative Council would not be, I think, wholly unreasonable or unprecedented, but the matter seems to be one for the Secretary of State's final decision.\n\nIt ought to be added - though it does not touch the merits of the case - that even at the lower rate of pension, he will receive slightly more than £1000 p.a., in other words, more than a first-class governor's pension.\n\nAckroyd has done work for the colony over and above his judicial work, especially in adjudicating on the claims to the land which the government has bought up since the plague, and, from what he has told me, evidently done honorary work of this kind. If the higher rate of pension is not allowed - and I do not think it should be allowed - there is something to be said for either giving him a small special grant of money or, better still, doing something to win the approval of 5 M.G. La Frozze, presumably hon. repsini.\n\n## \n9 August \nC.Pd P.T.O.",

It is a good post worth $400 dollars p.a. with light work, and local candidates are wise to apply. M. Wise, Registrar of the Supreme Court, stands first - assuming the Attorney General, M. Goodman, does not want it. M. Wise is highly spoken of by Sir Fielding Clarke, and by the Governor (See 5874) and has been backed in various quarters. He has acted as Judge and is, I believe, a perfectly competent man for the post.\n\nNotwithstanding it would be better to send a man from another colony and not promote a man from within Hongkong, I think it would be deserving to consider M. Wise. At the moment, I can only think of Mr. Harwood, the Registrar of the Supreme Court at Penang. I do not know that he is quite good enough for the post, but he has been long without promotion. Should M. Wise be promoted, I think Mr. Sercombe Smith should be given his place.\n\n### Care must be taken \nWhoever is appointed, care must be taken to let him know at what rate he will draw his pension: the rate will, I imagine, be 3/8\". But the point must be looked up when it is decided who will be appointed. C.Pd.\n\nM. Chamberlain's minute (East Ind) on 13875 will be referred to.\n\nMr. Wise, the Registrar of the Supreme Court in Hong Kong, is strongly recommended by the Governor for the post of Puisne Judge. The Chief Justice, when here in the Army, also supported him and he has undoubtedly a high reputation in the Colony, and I submit him for the appointment.\n\n5.9.95 \nJappoos 16 \n5/9",

This paper is minuted separately [19967].\n\nHe now asks for the Albert medal for Dr. Lowson, and a military and a naval doctor. His contention is that there has not been sufficient recognition from the Home government. All the Home government could do was to take note of certain names put forward by the Governor and to pay compliments. This has been done. See the despatch of 10 Aug 94 (page 13 of `23 Oct 94 417686`) and 29 Jan.\n\nI do not know what is the truth about the acknowledgements and rewards in connexion with the plague. There seems to be a deal of dissatisfaction and it is quite possible the Governor did not know all that he ought to have known. But there have been gifts of money ($500 to Dr. Lowson) medals and gifts of plate; and looking at what the Governor says had better be told that Mr. Chamberlain is not prepared to take further steps in the matter.\n\nC.Pd. 16 Nov.\n\nThere is certainly no general sanctioning the giving of Albert medals to the doctors. The Board of Trade laid it down in a recent case that the person recommended must have done an act which caused him to have small hope of saving his own life. This cannot be said of these doctors who presented their lives, and who dealt with a more virulently contagious disease than any other doctor who attended.",

Still I do not think a man ought to be led off and whipped without due formalities.\n\n3. Shot drill and stone drill are unknown, I think, nor in civil English prisons; and I had thought - though I have no evidence on the subject - that they were less common than used to be the case in military prisons.\n\nI gathered from the evidence that the Chinamen found the treadmill way too hard, and the English prisoners chiefly desired the substitution of the crank.\n\n[Page 16]\n\n4. The pigtail is to a Chinaman what long hair is to a woman; and just as a woman's hair is not cut as a rule, so there is a feeling of indignity. I think that to cut a Chinaman's queue is an unnecessary indignity.\n\nUnder rule 225, it may be cut off with the governor's permission. We can leave it as it is.\n\nWith regard to Sir R. Meade's minute 403, I would not limit flogging to 12 with the birch in all cases. This would make the punishment regarded as a severe punishment for extraordinary offences. Generally, I should confine the superintendent to the birch to 12 strokes, but in cases when the superintendent is not acting alone, but the rattan be used, and the limit be 20.\n\nPerhaps the minutes had better be acted on at once without waiting for a further report from the Governor, C.Pd.\n\n[Page 17]\n\nNow 125.

C. M  \n200  \n\nI agree generally in the above. It must be remembered that the Portuguese de Clerks and the Chinese Clerks should only be granted an allowance to Clerks in receipt of less than $30 monthly, per annum. I also note that the Chinese Employees drawing $240 or less per annum received a General Increase.\n\nI refer to the annexed report. The allowance of $204 was given in 1890, whereas the Straits Journal acknowledges the receipt of these memorials & requests that the Eurasians be informed.\n\nMr. Chaubritain is not satisfied that sufficient cause has been shown for granting the general increase of Salaries in accordance with this \"CPL.\" The Clerical Establishment received no such increase until they got the 10% increase last year. This fact may be a reason for refusing any general increase applied for.\n\nI would add that if funds permit, we shall be glad to consider proposed allowances in Hongkong except in the case of the Cow-pard Chenace who appear to have received no increase in 1890. Generally speaking, I would say that Clerks who have been in record since an early date should be considered specially deserving of consideration for the proposed increase.\n\nI don't understand how the allowance of the Chinese Clerks will be considered. There are many Chinese Clerks who are worth more than others than the Chamere.\n\nUm 18/11  \npd  \n6 Bes at mi",

Meanwhile, I confer that I think there is some, though not all, force in Mr. May's arguments.\n\nI think it would be a stain on the Queen's evidence, if there were any pardon dealt out to those concerned as a consequence of their confession.\n\nLord Halsbury's marginal note shows that he holds a different view. When he writes that those who confess should be dismissed, I infer from `14280` that Kate is to be supported, but a new case of Sergeant Major Jeane makes me think he should be supported in a case where dismissal is considered, without sufficient reason being shown.\n\nI reckon there should be some consistency shown, and should be glad if Lord Halsbury were able to find his way to reconsidering the opinion expressed in `14280`.\n\nM. Wingfield  \n8/11  \nC.Pd. 8\n\nIt is a wretched state of things when policemen who are in prominent positions on the detection staff have confessed to receiving bribes, and others on the detection staff are implicated. Mr. May believes he was offered a bribe. He tried to form a detective staff of men whom he had no reason to think were corrupt, but he found that they were not ready to work.",

With reference to paragraph 5 of the Colonial Secretary's letter in which he has suggested that the details of construction should be left to the manufacturers who tender, it would be necessary, to enable this to be done, for Messrs Coode Son & Matthews to furnish us with a memorandum setting out the conditions to be fulfilled by the pier and giving information as to the materials and methods of construction which would be accepted, in order to ensure that contractors should, as far as possible, tender on a common basis.

On the 28th June the city of Yung Hsien, situated 70 miles south-west of Wuchow, fell into the hands of rebels, and was sacked. Next day the large market town of Tung Hsu and district city of Peilin was taken and departmental city of Yulin. These cities are situated in the richest agricultural area of Kwangsi. The origin of the outbreak is attributed to scarcity caused by the export of rice, for which these districts are famous.\n\nThe rapidity with which city after city has fallen gives rise to the belief that it is more than a local riot. The number of the rebels are here estimated as from 10,000 to 20,000, though this number is probably exaggerated. It is anticipated that they will march westward to Nanning, or else northward in direction of Kuilin.\n\n2. The following Chinese troops have been sent to the front:-- \n| Location | Number of Troops |\n| --- | --- |\n| Koachow | 2,000 |\n| Canton | 1,000 |\n| Kuilin | 200 |\n\n3. Wuchow is protected by 200 Chinese soldiers, mostly unarmed. Hundreds of volunteers have been enrolled, and these men, armed with lamps, horns, whistles, and a few old rifles, assemble every evening and patrol the streets. Such a sight is almost incredible. The city wall is being repaired. On the 7th July some headless bodies were seen floating down the river, six of them being picked up here and buried. Much panic has existed in Wuchow, and hundreds of Chinese have left for Canton. There is a small guard of soldiers on top of a hill on the look-out for the rebels advancing, though the chief fear of the authorities here is a rising amongst the rowdies of the town, which might take place in case of rebel successes.\n\n4. I am given to understand that the arrival of Her Majesty's ship \"Tweed\" has greatly calmed the minds of the people. I propose remaining here for the present till authentic news comes from the area of disturbance.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) A. H. SMITH-DORRIEN.\n\nP.S.-The following news has just been received: Hsing Yeh was captured by the rebels on the 9th July. Siege of Yulin has been raised. Kiu, on the left bank of the West River, is threatened. 1,000 troops have moved forward to defend Kiu. 1,000 troops have occupied districts of Yung Hsien and Ting Hsu. District city of Peilin has been retaken. Rebellion has been instigated by Secret Society called the Triads. It is reported that Pinglo and Yungan are disaffected, and that they are preparing to join the rebels. One headless corpse floated past the ship this afternoon, 6 P.M., 14th July.\n\nA. H.

You may not have noticed it in its reduction which I propose. I think, as already stated, that that reduction may be made inasmuch as $1000 is not worth much more than £100 on that and equivalent reductions in weak terms of lease being a small matter after all. I have decided that the premium of $4000 may be reduced to $2000.\n\nIf you approve, as you will, the Wesleyan Committee propose to inform accordingly, adding that it is hoped they will lay out the sum which they will thus be in pocket in improving the proposed building with a view to its future application.\n\nC.Pd., April  \nKay 6140\n\nLord Grey directed that all existing leases should be ~75% ...\n\nM. Lucan  \n(The proposed further despatch has been delayed because I have been looking up the history of the question in that Colony, which I have not had time to complete). I am not quite sure whether Chamberlain wishes Hongkong to adopt in future (a) a system of leases for what period; or (b) the Straits system (which viz. we have just recommended Ceylon to adopt) viz. grants in perpetuity at rents reassessable every 30 years.\n\nAs I have said in a previous minute, I cannot discover whether the system of 999 year leases was ever deliberately approved by any landed authority of state, but it appears to have grown up out of a decision given in a case by Earl Grey in 1848. In p.xvii of Report 157/87, it is stated that the system however applied already. In 1885, it had a very limited effect.\n\nBroadly speaking, practically the whole of the city of Victoria in Hongkong is let on 999 year leases; some Marine lots; some lots in British Kowloon are on 999 years leases; but Agricultural Building Lots and Agricultural Lots in British Kowloon are generally let on ...",

        "content_text": "I think it should be modified. I do not think that there should be restrictions on this special punishment in Hongkong, which is a resort of dangerous Chinese Criminals. I should make the number of strokes 24 - as is prescribed in our circular to the colonies - instead of 20.\n\nAs to the instrument, in spite of the minutes on 1979 and Sir R. Meade's amusing comments, I do not think it is right to take away from those responsible for keeping order in the Hongkong prison and from the H[ong]kong judges the power of punishing dangerous ruffians with the same instrument that is used in this country & in other colonies.\n\nA birch is not an inadequate punishment; it may cause a wound, but not to death. I should not allow the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent to use any weapon except the birch; a limit has been put on the number of strokes - 12 for an adult and 6 for a juvenile.\n\nBut in the case of the Visiting Justices, I should adopt the rules which we sent out with our circular of 25 May 1897, allowing 24 strokes with an instrument approved by the Governor. The new rules (June 15, 1897) allow up to 30 strokes, and this change has been made without any authority beyond what the law allows. However, the Governor is not always following the extension of flogging as provided by the rules pending Mr Chamberlain's authority, which I submit might with advantage be given to the modification suggested above.\n\nC.Pd. I agree with the views expressed on 18 Dec. One practical object is expressly stated.\n\n19/12/67 Keff.\n\nI have expressed my sound view in April without additions. I allow authorities such powers as are consistent with the provisions which obviate objections. This is the effect, W. Lucas prefers.\n\nPage 7.0.\n\nA29/0 7",

Before the passing of Ordinance 15 of 1889 there were no laws on the subject of piers and wharves, though the construction of some had been sanctioned by Special Ordinance (18 and 19 of 1884).\n\n3. In March 1893 it was brought to the notice of the Government that the rents which were being paid by pier owners or lessees for the encroachment over the Crown foreshore or over the bed of the harbour were much too low and out of all proportion to the value of the piers. The question was considered in Executive Council and it was decided that under Section 68 of Ordinance 15 of 1889 as amended by Ordinance 35 of 1891 a revised schedule should be drawn up comprising increased rates and a new form\n\nRIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,\n\n40.",

The report shows an increase on serious crime, but the conditions during a great part of the year were not normal, and there is no doubt that the neighbouring Chinese territory was last year and still is in a disturbed state which must re-act upon this Colony. The decrease on crime in the New Territory during the last quarter of the year is satisfactory.\n\n3\\. With regard to paragraph 4 of the report, the Police have for some time past taken steps to search for arms male passengers embarking at HongKong for the various places in the New Territory and outside of it to which they ply, and I anticipate that this action may have a beneficial effect in preventing piracies not only in the waters of the Colony but on Chinese waters also.\n\n4\\. Fourteen stations were opened during the year in the New Territory. At some of these the men have suffered a great deal from Malaria, but I am in hopes that now that permanent stations have been erected an improvement in health will follow.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour Most Obedient Humble Servant  \nHenry Arthur Blake  \nGOVERNOR, &c.\n\n## Enclosure. 29th Jany. 1900.

I understand Mr. Lockhard was of some unknown connection.\n\nLord Ampthill suggested Mr. Gus. We had better approve without comment as we have no special candidate to put forward on our list.\n\n### Candidate Selection\n\nIf you and I. Lucas agree, we can approve at once. The most suitable candidate occasionally comes to our notice.\n\nThere is nothing obvious for the post. Cortino bal Fisher (`26500/97`) has seen our candidates. We are inclined to report that we should advertise.\n\nFor a conveyancing clerk with a year's experience, Belilocen (`302 35, 20`) is a possible candidate. Perhaps they will agree.\n\nMr. Johnson agrees with Mr. Brindle in thinking that advertising is the most likely method of securing the best weight of candidate.\n\n### Advertising the Vacancy\n\nWhat do you think? If it is decided to advertise, send a copy of the advertisement to the \"Times\" and \"Weekly Notes\" as they will be the best outlets. The latest date for applications should be three weeks from today.\n\n### Duties of the Post\n\nI submit notes as to the duties of the post. The Atlas has not sent a particular paper to the Land Office, but we have something out (`6561/82`).\n\n### Candidate Proposals\n\nLord Ampthill has no one to put forward as the man he had in mind does not wish to apply. J. Grindle will see `C.Pd. 19` to check if anyone on the list would be suitable.\n\nJur. Thavers (`11510/98`) and Eur. hecerour (`17913/95`) are mentioned.

Capt Hastings wished to select one of the Sanitary Inspectors, whom he thought suited in every way. If there is no suitable officer in Hongkong, I think I should ask the Governor of the Straits Settlements with a knowledge of Chinese.\n\n### Despatch No. 103, 12233, Pro 20 APR 00\n\nI have received your despatch No. 103, and in my opinion it would be desirable to ask the Governor of the Straits Settlements for an officer with knowledge of Chinese. I state that we have no one locally to propose forward for the post.\n\nI ought to have begun my minute by suggesting that Mr Solly's promotion to Shanghai should be approved. Capt Hastings says it is unwise to send an official who had no knowledge of the language & people.\n\n### Telegram\n\nIf you agree, telegraph as above.\n\nC.Pd.5/5.\n\nI agree on both points.\n\n5/5\n\nSir,\n\n1900.\n\nI have the honour to report that Mr F.G. Machado, Postmaster at the Shanghai Branch Post Office, will retire on pension on the 15th of May, and to recommend the appointment to the post of Mr. W. J. Solly, Senior Clerk in the Hong-Kong Post Office, on the same salary, viz., $2,880 per annum.\n\nMr. Solly is a deserving and capable officer and has over 9 years service under the Colonial Government, of which 6 years have been spent in the Post Office.\n\n2. If you approve of this appointment, there is no clerk in the Post Office whom I can recommend to succeed Mr. Solly, and I therefore consider it extremely desirable that a thoroughly trained Post Office Clerk, who has had experience in the General Post Office in London or in some other large and busy Post Office, should be selected for the post.\n\nThe Senior Clerk has the general supervision of the whole of the subordinate staff at the Post Office, and to do so efficiently it is in my opinion essential that an officer who has technical knowledge of the working of a Post Office...\n\nThe Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P. \n800.5 \n800.",

I enclose plans of the building, which wears a very handsome appearance, and I may mention that the sum of $12,000 proving inadequate to cover the cost of the accommodation required, Mr. Belilios generously added another $6,000 to his original donation and thus defrayed the entire cost of the building.\n\n3. The proposed Institution has been hitherto styled a Reformatory, but it is intended to use it both as a Reformatory School for the children of British subjects domiciled in Hong-Kong, and as an Industrial School in which any juvenile offender can be detained for shorter periods than in the case of boys sent to the Reformatory, it being undesirable as a rule to send such offenders to the Gaol except perhaps ...\n\nThe Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.\n\n### \n|              |                 |\n|--------------|-----------------|\n| 14034        | -79295          |\n| 7 MAY 20     |                 |\n| C.Pd.        | 2.

Butterfield and Swire and adjoins their large Sugar Refining Works situated on Marine Lot No.1.\n\nThe proposed extension contains an area of 323,800 square feet. The area shown coloured red on the tracing is the land which formed the subject of the telegraphic correspondence noted in the margin, and which I informed you in my despatch No.165 of the 28th March, 1900.\n\nSecretary of State to Governor, 29th March, 1900.  \nGovernor to Secretary of State, 30th March, 1900.  \nSecretary of State to Governor, 3rd April, 1900.\n\nThe land coloured red had been sold to Messrs. Butterfield and Swire for $100,860.00 (being $20 above the upset premium at the rate of 10 cents per square foot) with a Crown Rent of $8,680 per annum, which is at the rate of £375 per acre, the lease being for 99 years with the option of renewal for one term of 99 years upon the conditions approved of in the 3rd paragraph of your despatch No.320 of the 9th December, 1898.\n\nOne of the conditions of sale was that a sum...\n\n## Previous Discussion on the Draft\n\nWhereas I am quite free with the draft, I think we ought to ask further whether the Crown rent proposed is not somewhat low. The value of this paper for dock purposes is no doubt very considerable, as the grant is practically for a freehold = 99 + 99 years, though legally on lease. Some provision should be made for revision of the rent at intervals. I have now added words to the draft as to the rent. The rent will be revised at the end of the first 99 years because it is let on the conditions laid down in our despatch No.25-014/48, which conditions are clearly explained in No.15441/441/99.\n\n## Tracing Reference\n\nTracing annexed.\n\n## Addressee\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,  \n&C., &C., &C.\n\nPage 190  \nRECO Pro 5 JUN 00  \n17€28 10 &  \ngrog 15/6. f.Pd.15  \nNo. 190  \n0.0.",

Blake's despatch No.137 of the 3rd April, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed list of votes which have been taken in the Legislative Council during this year, (not being re-votes of un-expended balances of votes in the Estimates for 1899 for works undertaken or in progress last year) to cover the cost of Public Works not provided for in the Estimates for the current year, but which are being proceeded with on account of the urgent need for them.\n\n2. With regard to items Nos.1, 8, 9, and 10, I have to observe that votes for three of them were originally set down in the Estimates for the current year, but no votes were taken for them for the reasons explained by Sir H.A. Blake in his despatch referred to above, while a vote of $16,000 was taken for the fourth (Improvements Recreation Ground, Happy Valley) in the Estimates for 1898 and never spent.\n\nAt a recent meeting of the Executive Council, the Senior Un-official Member, as will appear from the enclosed copy of extract of the minutes, made a strong representation on the subject of these works, and in view of his remarks, confirmed as they are by the Colonial Treasurer, I took upon myself the responsibility of asking the Legislative Council...\n\n### Votes\n\n$12,600 — T.C.M. 21/6  \nCWJ5/7 C.Pd.s  \n`XCR(85)72` is not present in this text, but `GR1178/1922/32(III)` is not present either.

I attach a list of the Civil servants who are in receipt of House Allowance showing the amount received and the amount paid by them. The statement of Drs. Lowson, Thomson, and Clark is correct as to the rise in house rents in HongKong of late years.\n\n3. A question is involved whether House Allowance is supposed to cover the actual rent of a house or not. If it is, then the allowance granted to gentlemen in the position of the applicants is inadequate.\n\n4. I find that the lodging allowance granted to Majors in the Royal Army Medical Corps who it may be presumed are married men is $2.50 per diem for the lower levels in HongKong.\n\n5. I recommend that the House allowance of the following public Officers be increased to $50 per month.\n\n...\n\n? In replying, it was stated that House Allowances should not be regarded as intended to cover the whole cost of rent. Why not, but generally speaking, should only be given to live where they work, and in a more extensive part of the town, that in view of the recent increases in the salaries of the three doctors, Mr Chaubulain is not prepared to entertain a proposal to increase their house allowances, presented as part of a scheme for systematizing these allowances.\n\nIt is worthwhile to consider the adoption of a plan introduced at the Government Building, Galawns, and Houses, and offices at moffices.

I have at your request annexed a letter from Sir Cecil Smith, Clementi's uncle; it appears that he has thrown cold water upon the proposal.\n\nIn despatch Gov/18 X, it is negatived.\n\nI entirely agree that it would be utterly unfair to promote Mr. Clemente to Inspector of Schools. There is no necessity to do so as the post will not be created till the middle of next year.\n\nReply that the salary of the Registrar General must be fixed at no higher rate than that of the officers in the 1st class referred to in paragraph 4.12 of despatch dated 25-03. That the Secretary of State is glad, but cannot entertain the proposal to appoint Sir Clementi to an office in the 2nd Class of the service over the heads of officers in the 3rd & 4th class & that if there is no Senior Officer in the Hongkong Service, it would be gratifying to promote an officer from the lower ranks.\n\nThe fact, as shown in the attached chart, is that there is no likelihood of being able to promote from the lower ranks. I have attached a chart that shows this.\n\nCPT `L(x)—12435--2000-1-99`  \n`22317--3000-10-99`\n\nIt cannot help saying that it appears to be a serious breach of good order if Mr. Clementi asked him to write that letter, as it offends against the S. of S's circular of Dec. 1897.

The increase of salaries has since been favourably considered by you, & the salary of the Colonial Secretary has been made the same as that of the Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settlements.\n\n3. But the salary of the latter is augmented by his having a house, which, taking the average calculation of the value of House accommodation as one-sixth of the salary, makes the value of the Salary of the Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settlements practically $12,600 per annum.\n\n4. I venture to propose for your favourable consideration whether the Colonial Secretary of Hongkong should not be provided with a house so as to assimilate the Salary of the Office to that of the Straits Settlements.\n\nPresumably, then, was given to understand that the Colonial Secretary was expected to travel. But this allowance at Hongkong is in need of revision as promised out in the salary scale, which has been before you. We have suggested that the Governor be asked to systematize these allowances.\n\n? Land Governor a copy of the `23710/99` on `16691`. I repeat regret that ... cannot be granted.\n\n*.W.T.: 20/12.

Bagg from the exercise of his duties with a view to dismissal from the service.\n\n2. Mr. Bagg was selected by you in June last to fill the post of Wardmaster at Kennedy Town Hospital which had been rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr. J.T. Course. I was informed of your selection of Mr. Bagg in your despatch No.205 of the 27th June.\n\n3. On Mr. Bagg's arrival in the Colony it was necessary, in accordance with paragraph 3 of that despatch, to give him a formal letter of appointment. Before this was done, however, the Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer requested that Mr. Bagg might be appointed as Wardmaster to the Government Department instead of to a special post. Dr. Bell's reason for this was that Mr. Bagg's services might thereby be utilised when necessary in Government Hospital other than Kennedy Town Hospital, but it was understood that he was primarily appointed to the latter.\n\nI support with regret that Mr. Bagg cannot recover his passage money. It is disappointing that he signed the agreement at the Colonial Office, intending it to be for the appointment at Kennedy Town Hospital, but it was actually for \"Government Medical Department\". He was allowed to join, but it was not the appointment he had consented to.\n\nIt is worth noting that the proposal was made and accepted. However, the agreement was not carried out as intended.\n\nProceeded as Mr. Stabler suggests `C.Pd.4` at once.\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.  \n8cc.  \n`GR1178/1922/32(III)` is not present in the original text, but `9.W.7.3/2`, `26.164.12`, `Fee 0.8 o8/aw`, and `10.475` are.

        "content_text": "# Government House, HongKong, 8th November, 1900\n\nWith reference to paragraph 9 of your despatch No.190 of the 15th June last, in which you request me to consider whether similar legislation to that contemplated in the Straits Settlements to validate Crown leases of foreshore and sea bed should be created and brought into force in HongKong, I have the honour to inform you that I have given the matter my best consideration and I am not convinced that legislation of the kind indicated is necessary in this Colony.\n\n## \n\n2. I attach a Report on the subject by the Attorney General, and a draft bill which I propose to introduce if you are of opinion that legislation is expedient.\n\n3. With the exception of the Naval Works now in progress there has been no serious interference with public rights in the past; and as such a bill with retrospective action can be brought forward at any time it is a question whether it is necessary to open the question at present.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient humble servant,\n**GOVERNOR, &C.**\n\n## Widneas\n\nThe Law Officers oft have advised that alienations and reclamations of the foreshore and of territorial waters can be impeached only if there is a substantial interference with public rights, such as would constitute a public nuisance. (See opinion No 241 of 11 Nov. 1899).\n\n## \n\nThe Attorney General of Hong Kong is of opinion that the lease and reclamation specifically referred to in there papers would not involve any substantial interference with public rights such as to cause a public nuisance; and points out that the reclamation now being made by the Admiralty will be a more serious invasion of those rights and will not be protected by the proposed Ordinance.\n\nUnder these circumstances and as an Act (as is proposed in the draft Ordinance) with retrospective effect would be hard to justify at any time, I agree with Sir Henry Blake in thinking it is not expedient to proceed with the proposed legislation at the present time.\n\nIf, however, it is decided to proceed with it, then I think the form of the enactment should not be finally settled till the corresponding measure brought forward in the Straits Settlements has been passed and approved, and that the Hong Kong Ordinance should as nearly as possible take the same form; and an Ordinance dealing with the Admiralty reclamation should be passed at the same time.\n\nM.A.B.  \n1/12.\n\n| Step | Action |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. | Wait till the Straits Ordinance is sent home and sanctioned. |\n\n\"Wait (Pd. 17 C 485. 17628 closure)\"\n\n## [REC: 392 REGT 10 DEC 00]\n\nGWJ 148]  \nThe Right Honourable  \nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.",

        "content_text": "## leaders of the riot were certain well-known gentry from Lin An and Headmen from the Kuo-Chin mines. Though nominal rewards have been issued for their arrest, not one has been touched or is likely to be; the officials seem neither to have the will nor the power to stop the riot or arrest the chief culprits. So many Headmen of local influence are concerned that only the very strongest pressure is likely to induce the Taotal to take any action.\n\n## The causes of the riot were various; they have not been removed, so further trouble is likely to occur:\n1. The dislike of foreigners largely due to impudent behaviour of French.\n2. Fear that the French were about to seize the tin mines.\n3. Opposition to the railway, a feeling which is very wide-spread, and is both shared in and fostered by the officials.\n4. The hopeless weakness of the Provincial Government, which is quite powerless to keep order.\n5. Rumours that a large sum of silver was deposited in the French Consulate for the railway.\n\nMr. Spinney (Imperial Maritime Customs) an official of much experience, to whom I am indebted for information about Mengtze, is of opinion that there will be further serious trouble when the railway is actually commenced; nor on our side do I think that the Burmah lines can be extended without a good deal of trouble with the officials and people.\n\nIt is, I learn, the intention of the French to have some Annamite troops stationed as a guard at Mengtze, and to construct a block-house near the Consulate. After the riot, troops were brought up to Lung Po (on the extreme limit of the frontier) and the Colonial party wished to seize the opportunity of rushing Mengtze, but the French Consul, who no doubt had his instructions from home, strongly and successfully opposed any such move.\n\nThe action of the officials at Ssumao was in marked contrast to the feebleness shown at Mengtze. About five of the chief gentry in our valley, who had been more than suspected of engaging in the honourable profession of horse stealing in the Shan States, are supposed to have formed an unlawful society for procuring arms. After the Mengtze troubles the officials state that these men started a plot to raid the Customs and li-kin station, and some of their followers suddenly appeared at a salt station 50 miles north of this and demanded a \"present\" of 200 taels. This was going too far, and the officials got together a few men and attacked the gentry; four of the most influential were executed out of hand for being suspected; after this they were tried and found guilty, and their already severed heads were exposed to the public gaze. One of them, a Nich (proper name), had been so powerful that the public would not believe it was really his head that appeared on the pole near the parade ground.\n\nSsumao, October 29, 1899.\n\n(Signed)\n**G.

All private considerations made it seriously inconvenient to anticipate my leave in this way, and only the paramount question of life or death decided me.\n\n(2) I believe that from April 17, 1889 to January 17, 1900 I never took two consecutive days sick leave.\n\n(3) My illnesses this year have been at least a grievous expense to me. I have lost at least $250 in Medical expenses, $280 between January and July of this year, on no other account. Travelling expenses were also incurred. I had to give up Private Pupils (sanctioned by the Government) to the value of $560.\n\n### \n\nIt is suggested that Educational Officers in Hongkong should be given either their vacation leave on full pay or school vacations.

W. Grey is a useful and efficient officer; and, as there is no officer available, who is better fitted for road-tracing and such work in the New Territory, I recommend that he should be added permanently to the staff of the Public Works Department at a salary of $2400 per annum.\n\nThe appointment which Mr. Grey holds, though designated for many years past in the Estimates as that of temporary surveyor, has been a permanent one; and I therefore submit that it is advisable to appoint the officer holding it to the permanent staff of the Public Works Department.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient humble servant,\nHenry Arthur Blake\nGOVERNOR, &c., &c.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN,\nM.P., &c., &c.\n\n### Preceding Text (Appears to be unrelated to the main letter)\n\nIt is Lucas. The other Land Surveyor is Mr. Jardine, who succeeded Mr. Jacob.\n\n| Name | Salary |\n| --- | --- |\n| ... | $1,800 |\n| M... | $1,500 |\n\nThe assumptions are that Mr. Grey has disturbed by suffering qualifications forth Jacob; and point out that the Jacob sales appears in the 19/01 Estimates broadly fraudulent at $1,800 instead of $1,500.\n\nReference: `C.Pd. 22` at `20/2`, `GR 16703/`, `XCR(?)` or similar file references are mentioned but not clearly legible.\n\nPage 32\nC",

Please see the annexed letter from Dr. Bateson Wright. You will observe that his estimates for house rent for the year would cost $720 a year.\n\nIt is, of course, useless, in these circumstances, to deal with Mr. Stubbs. Even Mr. Proctor is a slightly better candidate, but he is already in Hong Kong and can offer that post.\n\nI think that Mr. Phillips, being senior in the service, has the first claim to be considered. I saw Mr. Le Froy and wrote to Mr. Phillips very favourably, but his appointment in Haiphong is contingent on our finding a replacement.\n\nWe shall have to find a replacement for his place on the \"trusts\". In that case, before making the appointment, we had better ask Mr. Le Froy if he is prepared to take it. I hardly expect that he will do so, but it would be worth trying.\n\nBut in the first instance, offer the present vacancy in Hong Kong to Mr. Phillips by telegram.\n\nM. Johnson  \n15/1  \nM. Shillinger  \n18/1\n\n## Notes\n\nDo you agree to draft telegram also whether Straits post should be offered to Mr. Phillips, considering his qualifications are such that he could be spoken to?\n\nIf the Private Secretary approves it, it might be offered to Mr. Proctor, who might accept it.\n\nAs to Mr. Phillips (see on 798), the Secretary of State replies that he cannot meet his wishes. Mr. Phillips might perhaps be considered for an appointment that may offer in the West Indies.\n\nGWZ 22/1  \nPhy 72/7  \nAs to Mr. Phillips, see on 798. Straits Private Secretary's C.Pd. 23/1.",

In all three cases work has actually been begun. Out of a total estimated cost of $103,000, $20,000 is estimated to be spent before 1 January, 1902. No despatch or telegram can be traced asking for the Secretary of State's sanction for these works. I think that this point requires investigation, and, if the explanation is not thoroughly satisfactory, the Governor should be told that this sort of thing cannot be allowed.\n\nSome of the remaining 27 items are all new. them we cannot object to e.g. the Slaughter House at Shankiwan, the disinfecting station in Kowloon, and the bacteriological institute. But the rest I think should be remorselessly cut down. I have marked certain items which I think might be postponed, or considerably reduced; but I am not sure that it might not be better to say generally that the Governor must keep the expenditure on Public Works Extraordinary below the estimate by at least $200,000.\n\nI see nothing else in the estimate of expenditure",

        "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.",

That is why I have always strongly opposed sending out any outsider to Hong Kong midway between the clerical staff, which is recruited locally, & the higher appointments, which are practically reserved for cadets.\n\nIf Mr. Lewis is, as I believe he is, efficient in the performance of his duties in the P.O., I think he ought to be promoted to be P.M.G. but if he is not promoted, the post should be offered to some cadet in the service, either at Hong Kong or Str. Settlements or the F.M.S. (which I regard as interchangeable).\n\nIt was decided in 1898, that having a postal expert we do not require an expert as Asst.

I regret to inform you that Mr. Chatham is not yet disposed to recommend Mr. Grey's promotion from the temporary to the permanent establishment. For some time he has been detached for work under the New Territories Land Court, and Mr. Gompertz states that so far as he can judge Mr. Grey has performed his duties satisfactorily. Mr. Chatham, however, reports that while Mr. Grey was employed under him he had occasion to be much dissatisfied with the manner in which he performed his duties.\n\n2. Under these circumstances I have ordered that no action is to be taken for the present under the Despatch \n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \n\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P., \n\n&C. \n\n&C \n\n&C... \n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363",

In 1901 the China League ask for an Agency in Tientsin. 29163/contains a petition from Chefoo inhabitants asking for an Agency there.\n\nIt appears therefore that there is large body of opinion in favour of establishing Agencies in some or all of the larger northern ports and towns.\n\nThe O.A.G. is providing on the Estimates for an Agency at Chefoo and is enquiring as to Tientsin and Peking.\n\nThis matter can really be dealt with apart from the Wei-Hai-Wei Post Office question as the Agencies can be transferred to the Wei-Hai-Wei administration if established, if it is thought desirable.\n\nSend copy to F.O. asking whether they see any objection to the proposal to establish Agencies in either of the three places referred to in this despatch, referring to Sir E.Satow's expression of opinion in 11858 as to Tientsin and say that, if they see no objection we propose to authorise the vote on the Estimates for the Chefoo Agency, and send the drafts on telling Mr Johnston that the question of establishing Agencies at some of the northern towns has for some time been under consideration and that there is the question whether they could if established, be better worked from Hongkong or Wei-Hai-Wei, supposing an independent Office to be established in the latter place, and that if he goes to Wei-Hai-Wei he should discuss this point with Dr Lockhart visiting the towns referred to if it is thought necessary.\n\nR.I.S. 20/9 proceed as proposed, except we should ask F.O. concurrence before giving its instructions to Mr Johnston.\n\nI ask F.O. to instruct their consuls at these places to give facilities to Mr Johnston for making his enquiries.\n\n27.9 C.Pd 27 at once",

It might be possible to build single and married quarters for them at such cost that the interest on the capital expended plus the cost of maintenance would be approximately balanced by the saving in House Allowances, but the cost of building has become so great and there is so little Crown Land of low value available anywhere near the City that it is extremely doubtful whether financially the scheme would be a success.\n\n4.

The proposal to remove the Depot to Green Island originated from a recommendation of the Committee, which, as reported in my Despatch No. 76 of the 5th of March, 1901, I appointed to consider the question of increasing the Gaol accommodation, to the effect that a Convict Prison should be built on the site of the old Gaol at Stonecutters Island, at present used as the Gunpowder Depot. I enclose a copy of the Report, and I consider that the site suggested by the Committee is the best one for the purpose in the Colony. You will observe that in 1901 the Director of Public Works estimated the cost of constructing a Gunpowder Dépôt on Green Island at $25,000 with a further sum of $10,000 for the cost of a pier. To this estimate an addition of at least 25% would have to be made at the present time.\n\n3. ...\n\nboth desps on this desp say that unless the WO is prepared to overrule the view expressed by the GOC, in the last end to this deep against building on Stonecutter's Island, a convict prison, the Gunpowder Depot on that Island cannot be removed unless the WO bear the cost of the removal.\n\nI do not see much use in writing to the War Office at this stage. Acknowledge & let Capt Clauson see.\n\nCPL o at once. W Luca.\n\nI regret that I spoke to ... you about this.

        "content_text": "# Candidates at various places\n\nI think we should offer it to Captain Fairfax, explaining to the Governor that foreign social qualifications & admission capacity are unsaid Annual, and naming Mr Price first after.\n\nFailing these, then Mr Waddell.\n\nI think it would be fair to give the chance to Mr Jones, of Trinidad, despite the long distance. In the last batch, I had to pass though Mr Johnson's name for the post of his principal in the Ceylon principle.\n\nI know nothing about the Ceylon candidates, nothing more about Mr Pigott & Mr Price beyond what is stated above, but I strongly object to Mr Waddell for the Hongkong post, as he was a bad failure in Seychelles. Mr Pigott and Mr Price, as Dist. Engr., have probably had no special experience in water & drainage, which are the most important things in Hongkong, & I should much prefer either Mr Jones or Mr Bourne, who have had special experience.\n\nThe salary is £600-720, with increments of £60 every three years.\n\nI have written privately to Chadwick, asking for Mr Brine's proximate address, but he has not answered. The latter tells me that he is about 45 years old.\n\nWe think that Mr Brine would be especially fitted to be Assistant Director of Public Works in Hong Kong. He is probably a better man than the Director.\n\nPrivately, should we require this post, it should certainly be offered to Mr Jones of C.Pd. 7. Jan.\n\nMunk would be a good choice. Brine has just returned to England & will let us know his address.",

We must try to stop men going into foreign service & we must also keep the fact that this has happened at Port Arthur from being generally known, as it would have a bad effect in the East. I have spoken to Sir H. Blake and we propose to telegraph to the acting governor in cipher whether he has reason to think that Sikhs (or others) have taken service with foreign powers in China, and also to ask the Foreign office to telegraph to Sir E. Satow to make enquiries. It is not known, but inferred, that the men at Port Arthur come from Hongkong or Shanghai. It would be difficult to make a condition of pension that the pensioner should not serve a foreign power, especially as the pension may be commuted. The way to simplify it, as Sir H Blake suggests, would be to insist on their returning to India before the expiration of the period for which they were engaged, and to pay them where they were recruited.\n\nTelegraph as proposed.

He has won the confidence of the Chinese without in any way really alienating the Europeans in Hongkong.\n\nHe does not imagine, but a Governor in Hong Kong, what he would like is 2 or 3 years in Ceylon.\n\n489  \n480\n\nhas noted with pleasure this expression of confidence on the part of the Chinese population regarding Sir H. Blake's tenure, but it would be premature to consider at the present time the question of extending his term.\n\nGovernment and therefore Mr. Chamberlain is not prepared to tender advice to H.M. on the subject, though he will lay before H.M. the substance of their wishes.\n\nThis is a matter on which H.M. having information, would probably wish to hear a kind of views that it might be well to say it is proposed to act as above.\n\nC.Pd.\n\nThis petition is a compliment to Sir H. Blake, which he has well earned. But he will value the intimation that Lady Blake's health has suffered from the climate of Hong Kong and that he does not desire an extension of his tenure.\n\n?

The Code has been considered by my Executive Council and it is recommended by them for adoption. I attach a résumé of the main points of difference between the new Code and the one now existing, together with an estimate of the increased grants which will probably be earned next year under the new Code.\n\n2. The nett estimated increase amounts to $15,540. The grants in the new Code are arranged under four heads. (1) to English Schools, with a Staff fully qualified to give instruction up to the Seventh Standard; this means in effect a European Staff, or at least a Staff with a proportion of Europeans on it. For these Schools the grants will be made in sterling because English Teachers in the Colony are now nearly always paid a Sterling Salary.

They were almost too keen on O.A.S.'s request. `2361/02`)\n\n## RES 10/12\n\nI agree (1915) to send Mr. Badeley a copy of the despatch returned; the original Enclosures will then be sent to him, so that he may make any observations on the very unsatisfactory state of the Police force under his command.\n\n- Ask also whether he took steps for studying the system of identity for criminals.\n\nC.Pd 16 at once - Lucas 9 M.

        "content_text": "The way in which the whole affair was conducted hands to create a presumption in his favour.\n\nI think he should be punished how... I'm guilty but I submit that the change is not proved by any adequate evidence.\n\nThe notes of Evidence forwarded with Script Holt's story as told in his partition `34787/08`. There is only the evidence of a native policeman who alleged that he handed the bribes to Holt (but who was not prepared to face the music in a court of law); and the fact that Holt made no statement & asked no questions is not inconsistent with his assertion that he thereby practically intended to raise his defence.\n\nOn the other hand, I think it probable that Holt, being a policeman, knew perfectly well that he would be dealt with departmentally (and not judicially) under Section 24 of Order 14 of 1887, that he never expected to be cross-examined before charges of bribery in a magistrate's court, and that, if he had so expected, instead of merely \"making no statement\" he would, as the result of his police experience, have used some expression definitely reserving his defence until he was brought before the magistrate.\n\nHe appears to have done nothing of the kind, and his conduct in this respect is, I think, stronger evidence against him than the evidence of P.C. 187 of his alleged confession. He behaved at the time as if he were confessing. This with the evidence quelling and other evidence against him, for what it is worth, I should on the whole be inclined to represent that his case be reconsidered.\n\nJJR 8/1\n\nThe case seems difficult to decide but I lean towards treating him in the same way as the others who were probably equally guilty or judged.\n\nM. Lucas: I should decline to reopen this case. A policeman knows enough of law & practice not to act as if he had a valid defence.\n\nSay that having communicated with the Governor of Hongkong, Lyttelton is unable to comply with his petition to be granted a revision in respect of his case in the colony, and this answer must be considered as final.\n\nLet M. Cox see the letter. C.Pd. 9 at once.\n\n## Page 53 \n## Page 911",

The values must be regarded as only approximate, but they have been assessed on the supposition that the land had been sold by auction in the ordinary way.\n\n2. If the list appears to be a somewhat formidable one, I would point out that applications for land for religious and charitable purposes are more frequent than elsewhere owing to the rapid growth of the population and social responsibilities of this Colony. Building land in accessible situations is of small extent, and therefore of such value that religious and charitable institutions are in most cases unable to bid for land in the open market. I am of opinion that care has always been exercised by the Government hitherto in considering the applications that are constantly received from such institutions, and it does not appear that Government has been too lavish in recommending free grants.

He took lodgings in the vicinity of the Central Police Station, and orders were given by me that he should be protected by the Police.\n\n2. The restless state of the neighbouring provinces, the promulgation of numerous seditious and anti-foreign placards in Canton itself, and the arrival in the Colony of persons who were known to be concerned in schemes and conspiracies for the disturbance of the Chinese Government made it necessary to keep a careful watch on the movements of those who, like Kang Yu Wei, were suspected of spending their time in Hongkong otherwise than in idle recreation or legitimate business. Various reports have reached me from time to time during the past few months that political movements were being discussed by the members of the Reform Party in Hongkong, and that they were using this Colony as a base from which they might, when opportunity offered, direct operations in China.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.,\n\n&C...\n\n \n800..\n\nc..",

Here's a more detailed explanation of the steps taken:\n\n1. **Corrected spelling errors**: \n   - \"Londen\" was corrected to \"London\"\n   - \"unseressan\" was corrected to \"unreserved\"\n   - \"sweed\" was potentially corrected to \"speed\" (though the context is unclear)\n\n2. **Fixed spacing issues**: \n   - Removed or added spaces to improve readability and correct obvious spacing errors.\n   - Corrected \"E.C.\" to have a comma after the number.\n\n3. **Rejoined broken sentences**: \n   - The text was reformatted into paragraphs to improve readability.\n\n4. **Restored paragraph breaks**: \n   - The original text was broken into paragraphs based on content and context.\n\n5. **Indicated missing words or unclear text**: \n   - The last line \"[to the speed?]\" was left as is due to unclear context, potentially indicating a missing or unclear word.\n\n6. **Formatted in Markdown was not followed as per the final instruction to output only HTML**.\n\n7. **Other rules**: \n   - The output was formatted using HTML as per the final instruction.\n   - File references and page numbering were not present in the original text, so rule 10 and 5 were not applicable.\n   - The original text did not contain tables or Chinese writing, so rules 14 and 15 were not applicable.\n\nThe output was formatted in HTML as instructed, using `` tags for paragraphs.",

It has since occurred to me that it might be as well to insert in paragraph 13(g) of the memorandum, when it is embodied in an undertaking of the Chinese and Colonial Governments, a proviso which would leave the Colony free to construct in the future any tramways or railways that it might consider necessary for the development of its own territory. The Colony will obviously not compete against its own railway to the frontier but should not run any risk of being interfered with in making branch lines to the railway or short lines to any points on the shore to which it may be desirable to give access from the interior of the new Territory.\n\nI sincerely trust you will not give way to Sir Cecil Clementi Smith's proposal for a narrow gauge. We want the line to be eventually an outlet from the interior of China and not merely to take local traffic.\n\nI hope you will not consider it necessary to wait for the acceptance of the \"Joint Working\" and \"Final Loan\" Agreements before sending out an engineer for determining the trace and preparing the estimates of our section of the line.\n\nThis work will take some time and should not be rushed. It will quiet people's minds here to know that it is in hand. As it is, I am commencing to \"lose face\" over the non-commencement of this railway.",

The principle involved by the change in Article I (1) is that, as in the case of other Administrations that have contracted with China, the Hongkong Post Office will not maintain Branches outside Treaty Port Settlements.\n\n3. The Convention follows closely the lines of that already existing between the Chinese and French Postal Authorities.\n\n4.

For example, there is a fragment \"Lux 3.0. the cry 4 AC 6/6- to show that we have tried to just done from the 4.10 (du wad of a chance\" that does not make sense in the context.

        "content_text": "# Government House.\n## 5 November 1908\n### Secret Dispatch.\n\nGov. Sir\n\nIn continuation of my Secret Dispatch of the 18th October on the subject of negotiations for the completion of a loan agreement and of a joint working arrangement in connection with the proposed Canton-Kowloon Railway, I have the honour to submit for your information and record a paraphrase of a telegram, addressed by the Minister at Peking on the 28th of October to the Consul-General at Canton and received by me from Mr. Scott on this date, together with a copy (`No. 880`) in which I have submitted on this date the Consul-General's reply to Sir Ernest Satow.\n\n2. As the Viceroy of Canton is the chief obstructionist to the conclusion of a loan agreement with the British & Chinese Corporation and as he could therefore doubtless put obstacles in the way of this Corporation carrying out any agreement concluded with another contractor, and as moreover Sheng Kung Po has shown himself on various occasions to be shifty and unreliable, it seemed to me desirable to believe that the Minister's proposal for the Viceroy to negotiate should be adopted rather than that the Corporation should shift the responsibility on to Sheng. His desire to do this is probably to save face before the Governor and literati of Kwang Tung Province, whom he has hitherto represented as the champion of the railway being constructed by Chinese with Chinese funds.\n\nThe question of who should negotiate is one which Sir Ernest Satow can better decide than I can, and you will see that I have only had my opinion before him in a tentative manner.\n\nThe fact that the Canton Fu have decided to negotiate may take a step in advance.\n\n3. I also submit a copy of a letter dated October 6 from the Consul-General at Hankow to Sir Ernest Satow regarding the views of the Viceroys of Canton and Chuang on certain points connected with the proposal aforesaid.\n\n4. With regard to the first of these points, the amount of £2,000,000 which the Agents of the British & Chinese Corporation propose to insert in the blank space of Article 1 of the Loan Agreement – I enclose a copy of a letter addressed by Mr. Roffe to Sir Ernest Satow on the 17th of April last giving his reasons for this proposal. It is not clear from this letter why, considering a loan of £1,500,000, from which the Chinese are to get £1,350,000, provides not only for the capitalized cost of land, construction and Equipment (£1,100,000) but also for the interest and sinking fund of the loan during construction (£116,178), for working capital (£100,000), and for a margin (£33,822), the enormous further sum of £500,000 should be wanted for his margin. I can well understand Chang and Ts'en objecting to the sum of £1,000,000 being entered even as an outside amount for a loan for a railway the cost of constructing and equipping which, according to the Engineers' Estimate, will be £979,679 exclusive of the cost of land. I should think you could be in agreement with Sir Ernest Satow.\n\n## \nPRINTED FOR USE  \nEASTERN  \nCOLONIAL  \nOFFICE  \n\nPage 363 \n\nC.Pd 20  \n20712  \nA  \nthong dong  \n21/2  \nC.

It is not to be expected the Opium farmer who will open his mouth wide for open compensation. Sir C. Lucas A.1.04 a 1078 \n\nSir F. Lugard seems to have had some difficulty in expressing himself and I am not sure that I understand what he means. I take it however that when he says in para 8 that he recommends that no steps should be taken he means that he does not want the S of S to worst express any opinion as to the ten licenses pending the receipt of the further report from Mr Hutchinson. From this I assume that the divans in question are being and will continue to be allowed to remain open without the formal issue of licenses. I do not think that anything would be gained by ordering him divans to refuse the issue of these licenses. They do not seem to be very important places, judging from the smallness of their profits and their continued existence for the remainder of the year will not appreciably increase the facilities for opium smoking. If the other divan-keepers are entitled to compensation - as to which I feel no certainty - these ten have a moral right to the same treatment since the issue of the license is, in the circumstances stated, a mere formality, the Govt having for practical purposes agreed to the issue.\n\nI think therefore that we should do nothing on this despatch pending (a) Lord Crewe's decision as to the general lines on which the policy of closing is to be enforced. and (b) the further communication See `25273` which must accompany his decision as to claims for compensation.\n\nCol: Seely  \nWait C.Pd. 12.

And do they imagine, for an instant, that the clerks in this \"general office\" would get any work done at all while I am trying a case?

Lugard's proposal, on the ground that the Secretary of State did not think it advisable to put it forward, and that supported the second paragraph of the counter-draft; but they immediately add the proviso that they can accept the second paragraph only if it is interpreted to bear exactly the same meaning as the wider interpretation of Sir F. Lugard's proposal. \"Failing conventional protection for unregistered marks, in terms adequately explicit, the Manchester Chamber would prefer not to have any convention\".\n\n5.\n\nMr. Crowe informed the Manchester Chamber that the London Chamber objected to the conclusion of a convention because they considered that, if China subsequently constituted arrangements for the protection of trade marks, it would be difficult to object to the Japanese contention that any Japanese who had wrongfully registered in Japan a British mark of which the British ownership had been acquired by user only was entitled to protection in China, as against the British owner. Mr. Crowe, in reply to this argument of the London Chamber, pointed out that even now there was nothing to prevent a Japanese from registering in Japan a British mark which was used by its British owners only in China and not in Japan, so that the conclusion of the convention would not give Japanese pirates any rights in Japan which they did not enjoy before. Consequently Mr. Crowe did not agree with the contention of the London Chamber.\n\n6.\n\nI submit that Mr. Crowe has missed the point of the London Chamber's argument. With or without a convention a Japanese can register a British mark in Japan and in course of time he obtains the exclusive right to its use in Japan. At the present time he may put goods under this mark on the Chinese market, but the British Merchant if he can prove his right to the mark, has a remedy against the Chinese retailers. If the convention is signed the situation as far as pirating in Japan is concerned would remain unchanged; but as regards China Great Britain would have agreed to respect the marks of Japan registered in Great Britain and Japan would have agreed to respect the marks of Great Britain registered in Japan. The inference would be that the marks of Great Britain which were not registered in Japan were not entitled to protection in China against Japanese infringers,",

At the same time a boat in charge of Mr. Harvey, the Assistant Examining Officer, approached the \"Shikoku Maru\" flying the signal \"M.N.\" and Mr. Harvey shouting through a megaphone telling her to stop. Mr. Harvey's boat was within hailing distance and closing on the \"Shikoku Maru's\" starboard bow. No notice was taken of either of the boats or signals, so my boat sounded X'es on her siren to attract the attention of the examination battery and hoisted my flag, which is the signal arranged to request the battery to bring the ship to, which they did by opening fire.\n\nThis statement was read over to Masuda Kusa Saburo, Master of the Shikoku Maru, who at this stage makes the following statement:-\n\n\"I left the port of Maha\", which is about 500 miles S.E. of Taiwan, on the 1st August, and proceeded to Taiyə Yana Island (between Naha and Formosa) where I loaded coal, and left there on the 9th August.

The matter has been under reference to the Government of India, and a copy of a despatch from that Government to the Secretary of State for India is now enclosed. The Secretary of State for India concurs in the views stated in that despatch and subject to them has no objection to the proposed legislation.\n\n2. I approve of your proceeding with the enactment of the Bill: and you will no doubt take into consideration the question whether it would be desirable to make the proposed legislation applicable to all watchmen other than Chinese, as suggested by the Government of India.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient,\nhumble Servant,\n**(Pd).

It is somewhat difficult to form any estimate of \n\nthe state of public opinion among the Chinese communities \n\nof Malaya with regard to the use of opium. Among the opium \n\nsmokers with whom I discussed the matter there was a \n\ntendency to explain that they had acquired the habit as a \n\nremedy for some illness, such as diabetes, chest complaints, or digestive troubles, and few would probably be prepared to \n\ndefend the habit as justifiable in itself or to look with \n\napproval on their children acquiring it, for which, of course, \n\napart from other considerations, there are good financial \n\nreasons. \n\n5. It appears that the percentage of smokers among \n\nthe Straits-born Chinese is considerably less than among the \n\nChina-born, and the general opinion seems to be that the younger generation of Straits-born is not becoming addicted to opium to as great an extent as in former years. In so far as it goes, this may be taken as indicating that the tendency under present conditions is towards a diminution \n\nin the habit. \n\nThe distinction between Straits-born and China-born Chinese in this respect may probably be attributed in some measure to the influence of western ideas on the former class through the schools and the adoption of out-of-door games, etc., which provide alternative methods of relaxation. It must also be remembered that the bulk of the immigrant Chinese are adult males, separated from their families, with more money and fewer interests than a population living under natural conditions of home life, and it is therefore to be expected that they will take to opium smoking, which is one of the few relaxations within \n\ntheir grasp. \n\n6. \n\nOne of the weak points in the present system of control in Malaya is the disposal of opium dross. Apparently between 20% and 25% of the opium smoked in Malaya is consumed in public smoking shops, and these shops are \n\nrequired",

        "content_text": "## STOP PRESS.\n\n[ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.]\n\n**SOVIET EMBASSY SEIZURES. \"A MOST ILLUMINATING DOCUMENT.\"**\n\nPeking, April 20. The headquarters of the Ankuochun this evening gave out a translation of what is described as \"a most illuminating document,\" which was seized in the recent raid on the Soviet Embassy.\n\nThe document reads:-\n\n**\"Strictly Confidential.\"**\n\n\"Herewith enclosed are instructions based on the revolution relative to China adopted by the assembly of the Executive Committee of the International Communist Party:\n\n(1) Devote all your energy to back up the revolutionaries in China. For that purpose the Kuomintang should be boosted to make use of the Hankow incident, showing the progress made by the Kuomintang and the weakness of the Powers in the struggle against the Chinese revolutionaries.\n\n(2) Push onward the anti-European movement in the territories now occupied by Chang Tso lin.\n\n(3) Destroy Chang Tso lin's credit and brand him as a tool in the hands of the international capitalists and imperialists and an obstacle in the way of the Kuomintang revolutionaries.\n\n(4) Stir up mob violence against Europeans in general, and against the British in particular.\n\n(5) Back up the masses by all means in their anti-foreign movement. In order to provoke international intervention in China methods of whatever nature may be resorted to. Even looting and murdering of foreigners are justifiable. Whenever the Chinese come into conflict with foreign troops, it is a unique opportunity for agitation.\n\n(6) At present the Communistic principles should not be applied in China all at once, because if we do so, it would help to strengthen the position of Chang Tso lin and hasten a split in the Kuomintang. We have instructed Borodin to suspend radical measures against the capitalists for the time being. Pending the defeat of Chang Tso lin, preserve all class distinctions among the Kuomintang members.\n\n(7) While the anti-foreign movement is being carried on, it is necessary to keep the Powers in discord. This is a very pertinent point. Japan can despatch a large number of troops to China within a short period, and it is therefore particularly important to keep Japan aloof. Supervise all movements closely. Keep the Japanese out of harm's way. It is difficult to make Japan an exception in the general anti-foreign movement, but it is a comparatively easy task to make Great Britain the sole objective (details of discrimination may be made without notice so long as there is a central theme).\n\nSend copies of these instructions to all movement leaders.\"\n\nAn Ankuochun communiqué states that the original document, which was partly destroyed by fire, is on view at the headquarters.\n\n## LINER KHIVA ASHORE.\n\nShanghai, April 20. The P. & O. liner Khiva went ashore this morning at 4:30 at Steep Island Pass, 100 miles south of Shanghai. The Khiva soon had 18 feet of water in No. 1 hold, but this was reduced to 8 feet. Two tugs and H.M.S. Durban and Wolsey have gone to the assistance of the Khiva. There is no danger to the passengers.\n\n## EARTHQUAKE AT MANILA.\n\nManila, April 20. An earthquake shock lasting 4 seconds was felt this morning at 1:31. The shock, which was the severest felt in recent months, caused cracks in a few buildings. No casualties have been reported.\n\n## HONG KONG STOCK EXCHANGE. TO-DAY'S QUOTATIONS.\n\n| Category | Last Rate |\n| --- | --- |\n| BANKS |  |\n| Hongkong Bank | $1,035 n. |\n| Do.

D.P.W.\n\nDate: 12th July, 1951.\n\n181\n\nProposed Compost Factory at Tsun Wan.\n\nPD) in 23/641/50 I atte\n\n(90)\n\nThe plan attached to your memorandum PWD7121/51 of 16th June to Hon. C. S. copied to me shows four dolphins on the 700 feet of sea frontage which it is proposed to utilise for the compost factory and only makes provision for two 98 foot refuse barges to discharge simultaneously. In addition to garbage it will be necessary to discharge nightsoil at the seawall for use in the factory and the present proposals are that the nightsoil should be conveyed in liquid form in covered steel tankers from which the nightsoil will be pumped into the factory. I understand from Director of Marine that it will be possible to convert the existing 78 foot steel nightsoil barges for this purpose. I have no information as to the proposed layout of the factory but it seems certain that it will be necessary to make separate provision on the sea wall for the unloading of nightsoil and refuse. The purpose of this memorandum is to ask your advice on the planning of the berthing facilities. When we know the maximum number of vessels for which simultaneous berthing facilities can be provided, it will be possible in the light of our towing schedule to determine the rate at which the cranes and pumps on the sea wall must be capable of unloading each refuse and nightsoil barge.\n\n2.\n\nIt is not possible to make an exact forecast because there may be changes in the number and sitting of our refuse and nightsoil barge stations but I attach for your information a copy of an estimated schedule prepared by the Chief Inspector in charge of Sanitation together with a covering minute written at my request. From this it appears that it will be necessary to make provision for six 100 ton refuse barges to be unloaded daily between 9 a.m. and 1.45 p.m. and one 100 ton barge to be unloaded between 1.45 p.m. and 4 p.m. At the same time it will be necessary for three nightsoil barges to be discharged between 10.25 a.m. and 1.45 p.m. and another three between 1.45 p.m. and 6 p.m.\n\nIt also appears that between 10.45 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. nine vessels will be off Tsun Wan simultaneously. From 10.45 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. there will be six refuse barges and three nightsoil barges and from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. six nightsoil barges and three refuse barges.\n\n3.\n\nIt is not known whether it will be possible for two or more vessels to be discharged whilst lying alongside each other at a single berth but it seems probable that the beam of the refuse barges will make it impossible to do more than unload the vessel lying immediately alongside, although the same problem may not arise with the nightsoil barges. It also seems probable that it will be necessary to station a tug all day at the sea wall to shift barges between offshore moorings and the various discharge berths.\n\n4. It will of course be necessary to plan for a more rapid rate of discharge than is demanded by the schedule itself since allowance must be made for mechanical breakdowns on the part of the unloading machinery. If it is in any way feasible, I consider that at least two 78 foot berths should be available for the discharge of nightsoil and not less than three berths for the refuse barges.\n\n*",
