Here is a region open to us for the same purpose, far exceeding in value and in extent all those kingdoms put together. If we refuse to avail ourselves\n\nChina by the celebrated Jesuit P. Verbiest, who, by casting cannon (then unknown in China), enabled the Emperor to put down a very formidable rebellion, organized by the famous Chinese general Ou-Sang-Guey, who had been the means of introducing the Tartars into China for the extermination of the rebels, and who now sought to dethrone the Tartar dynasty, and restore the Chinese sovereigns. In a short time, Ou-Sang-Guey made himself master of the provinces of Setchuen, Yunnan, and Kweitehou. His example was followed in the provinces of Canton and Fokien; and Coxinga, a naval co-operator, with a large armament, took possession of Formosa. The rebellion would probably have been successful but for the cannon cast by Verbiest for the Tartars, which they conveyed to the attack on the encampment of Ou-Sang-Guey, and which he was unable to resist. On the death of Verbiest, the Emperor himself wrote the eloge which was read over his grave. The Mahometans had, during 300 years, the direction of the tribunal of mathematics in China, and the preparation of the calendar; but this important duty was taken from them, and vested in the Jesuit Adam Schaal; and they continued to hold this, and other important stations, until their final expulsion from China, after the death of the Emperor Canghi, in his 69th year, A.D. 1722 (20 December) and on the ascent of his third son, Yong-tcheng to the throne at Pekin, who refused to check the persecution of the Christians.\n\nThe Emperor Canghi is described by the Jesuit missionaries as a man having a lofty genius, great penetration, and a faithful memory; with a solid judgment, a sense of right, and a firmness of soul; always master of himself, and capable of forming and of conducting great enterprises. He did not repose upon favourites, but took cognizance of all things, and regulated them himself. He was tender towards his subjects, and never lost sight of judgment and of justice. He studied and acquired the European arts and sciences; and geometry, physics, astronomy, medicine, and anatomy, were successively objects of his careful study. He loved to have the learned Jesuits around him; he esteemed their morals; protected them and their fellow Christians; and had given hopes, that but for his sudden death, he would have openly embraced Christianity.\n\nIn 1620 the Chinese sovereign (Tien-ki) and Government at Pekin, called in the aid of the Christian missionaries, and of the Portuguese, to aid by artillery in repelling the Tartars. This aid was given, and tranquillity was restored at Pekin, to within seven leagues of which city the Tartars had penetrated. In 1628 the Emperor Tien-ki died, and his brother, Hoai-tsong, known also under the name of Tsong-tching, ascended the throne of China.\n\nIn 1636, two leaders or chiefs of plundering banditti, organized a large force, combining all the discontented persons in the empire, as well as all who wished to profit by plunder. They marched towards Pekin, plundering towns, cities, and provinces, and devastating the land with civil war, and the Emperor fearing to fall into their hands, put himself to death. The commandant (Ou-Sang-Guey) of a body of Chinese troops on the frontiers, solicited the aid of the Tartars, to relieve Pekin; this aid was granted by Tsong-te, the Tartar chief, who retook Pekin from the rebels; and as the Chinese Emperor, Hoai-tsong, had committed suicide to prevent falling into the hands of the rebels, the vacant throne was seized by the Tartar general, Tsong-te, who, however, died very soon, and his son, Chuntchi, then only six years of age, was proclaimed Emperor of China by the Tartar garrison of Pekin. The uncle of Chuntchi, named Aniavan, became the guardian of the young prince, who at fourteen years of age ascended the throne, the sovereignty of which was still disputed by the Chinese, particularly in the sea coast and midland provinces. The Tartar troops advanced to Quantong (Canton) and Quangsi provinces, where they took some towns, but were repulsed by two Chinese generals who were Christians. The victorious Chinese declared Yang-tie, who was a prince of the imperial family, emperor, and fixed his court at Chao-king, in the Canton province. The mother of the Chinese emperor, his chief wife, and his eldest son, received the rite of Christian baptism, together with twenty\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n95\n\nof the offer thus benignly vouchsafed to us; if we reject the means of thus benefiting ourselves and myriads of our fellow-creatures, either from apathy, selfishness, miscalled prudence, or erroneous political considerations, the opportunity may never again occur; and that which might have been converted into a source of national strength, of individual good, and of general benefit, may be converted by others, and by different means, into an engine injurious to our own interests, and productive of great and permanent national injury. Are we prepared to run the race of competition with other nations? or, after enjoying duration as a kingdom for upwards of one thousand years, and holding for the greater part of that time the dominant power of the Earth, are we disposed to shrink from the competition and descend in the scale of empires? Other kingdoms and nations are ready to rise, to build, and to strengthen their power on our downfall. We cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that we are envied and feared, rather than trusted and loved, and that if we be not true to ourselves there are none in whom we can trust.\n\nIt has not been by a timid, hesitating, dubious time-serving policy, by a craving after petty immediate gain, by crafty devices, or by subtle intrigues, that a small island in the Western Atlantic has become the mistress of the world—her power seen and felt on every shore, her flag triumphant on every sea.\n\nGreat ends can only be achieved by great means; a nobility of object consecrates the endeavour for its attainment.\n\nIf to pour a quickening life blood into China, to vivify a vast and almost stagnant mass of human beings, and thus incalculably increase our commerce*; if to construct and organize a power on the extreme East, which may eventually counterbalance the gigantic empire which stretches from the Bosphorous to the Arctic circle, from the Baltic to the Pacific; if to diffuse intelligence and science among three hundred millions of people; above all, and before all, to implant the inspiriting doctrines of Christianity over such an immense portion of the globe, that their diffusion would eventually influence all mankind; if to do this\n\nladies of rank at the court. The Chinese empress (baptized Helena Taming), and the other royal Christians, sent a learned missionary (Michael Bagm, a Pole) to Pope Alexander VII., to render obedience to the court of Rome.\n\nThe Chinese dynasty in the southern provinces was but of short duration. Hordes of Tartars poured into China, and three grand armies obliged the Emperor Yang-tie to flee. A sanguinary leader of theirs having overrun the provinces of Honan, Kiangnan, Kiangsi, &c., and committed the most appalling massacres, the peaceful Chinese were glad to accept the Tartar yoke, for the sake of secure enjoyment of their lives. And for two hundred years, 1644 to 1844, the Tartar dynasty has maintained by corruption, by stratagem, and by force, the throne and government of China.\n\n* China has rich mines of gold and silver, but it has also accumulated large quantities of the precious metals from other countries.\n\nIt is computed that 400,000,000 dollars passed from Acapulco to Manila during the 250 years of their intercourse; of this sum it is estimated that one-fourth passed from Manila to China. Since 1784, about 100,000,000 dollars have passed from the United States to China. Siam and Cochin send large quantities of gold and silver in ingots to China. Japan, it is estimated, has poured into China during sixty years of free intercourse, at least 100,000,000. From all other sources during the past century, China has received about 50,000,000. The estimated metallic circulation is equivalent to 500,000,000 dollars.\n\n512", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224893, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-019 - Sir John Davis - 1847 [1-4]", "page_number": 163, "title": "CO129-019 - Sir John Davis - 1847 [1-4]", "content_text": "CAMIC cs of justice.

Hyphenation or line-break artifacts will be corrected.\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences** — Sentences split across lines or columns without logical reason will be merged.\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks** — The text will be formatted into proper paragraphs where the OCR has incorrectly merged or split them.\n7. **Indicate missing words** — If a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage, `...` will be inserted in its place.\n8. **Do not rephrase or rewrite** — Only unambiguous errors (spelling, spacing, obvious joins) will be corrected without changing style, tone, or word choice.\n9. **Format in Markdown** — The text will be formatted using standard Markdown syntax.\n10. **No translation of text** — The text will not be translated.\n11. **Format of File Reference** — File references will have no spaces inside parentheses.\n12. **Page numbering** — \"Page XX\" lines will be kept as is if they appear exactly six times (three at the top and three at the bottom).\n13. **No explanation** — No explanatory text will be added to the output.\n14. **Newspaper reordering** — Texts from newspapers will be reordered if necessary.\n15. **Data in tables** — Data clearly in table format will be organized properly.\n16. **Chinese writing direction** — Horizontally written Chinese text starting from right to left will be reversed to left to right if observed.\n17. **No comments** — No comments will be left in the text.\n\n## Step 3: Re-examine the original text and apply the rules\nUpon closer inspection, the original text appears to be a historical document with OCR errors. The text will be reformatted and corrected according to the rules.\n\n### Haughing\n#### 1:129\n#### 26 September, 1860\n\nSir Richard Graves MacDonnell \nto \nRight Honorable \nEarl of \nCarnarvon \n\n## Conflicting Jurisdictions\nHongkong-Walien near \nFor Carnarvon \nwith the Chinese on the term of her \nA island \nWest 1. define beulegung 2m.. \n2.

Singapore, it is true, is a Mart or Emporium for the purchase of the products of the surrounding Countries, but there is the significant fact in addition, that purchasers are not likely to go anywhere else if the Straits or adjacent Parts because the same (or in the case of Java, larger) taxes exist wherever they could go, and also because there is no other place where the business could be carried on with so many advantages and facilities of every kind, while a considerable portion of the business transacted at Hongkong was formerly carried on at Canton, and could be carried on in most instances at two or three other places with equal facilities. Again, in Singapore, the Chinese population have settled and become Colonists, the majority of them being by birth British Subjects and having their families resident there, while the Chinese in Hongkong are, with a few marked exceptions, entirely a migratory and shifting population, who have no ties, either of family or birth, to connect them with the Colony, a most important distinction when analogy of circumstances is used as the main argument for one mode of taxation over another.\n\nHis Excellency appears to have misconceived that portion of the Memorial which alludes to the \"expansiveness\" of this peculiar system of taxation as being one of its greatest evils, as, in the Document now under comment, His Excellency addresses himself to some imaginary objections against the \"expansive powers of a Stamp Ordinance,\" whereas the Memorial never alluded to the expansiveness of the Ordinance, but of the system of taxation. That His Excellency has failed to conceive the meaning intended to be expressed by the Memorial, is obvious from the fact of his not, in the slightest way, alluding to the grave reason advanced as the ground of the objection, and though Your Memorialists cannot believe that the Justice of the reasoning will fail to attract Your Lordship's attention, it will be as well if they point out specifically, that it is not the levying of $120,000 for this year by a Stamp impost that is so objectionable, but it is because the Colonial Government by resorting to this entirely new source of Revenue, announces, in fact, that all existing modes of taxation have failed, and that, to raise even this comparatively small sum, no local taxation can be devised, and, as a consequence, that in future all monies required, for whatever purpose or object, cannot be raised except by means of Stamps, or in other words, by taxing Trade.\n\nIt did not want His Excellency's assertion to convince Your Memorialists that the present Ordinance could not be extended beyond its legitimate extent, but it is self-evident to them that once the principle of the taxation is admitted, it is a much easier matter to pass a supplemental or new Ordinance, with an amended or additional Schedule.\n\nYour Memorialists think that the dread of increased Stamp imposts, which is what they believe will decrease the existing trade, and prevent its growth or increase, will rather be enhanced than lessened, by His Excellency's intimation that he hopes always to see the usual expenditure in the Surveyor General's Department, and \"that such expenditure will never be less than in recent years,\" because, judging from the bitter experience of past years, the expenditure of this Department has been so improvident that, in too many instances, the expenditure of the one year, has entailed an additional outlay or charge on the Revenue of the succeeding years, and, if this new principle of taxation is to be introduced solely to spend a certain sum per annum, Your Memorialists may well pray for \"finality in progress\" in this direction, as even without such a class of expenditure, it is clear that in the event of any unforeseen exigency, demanding expenditure either large or small, it will have to be made up by increased Stamp imposts if the present Policy is persisted in.\n\nYour Memorialists again bring to Your Lordship's notice that while they object to the Principle of the proposed Tax, and earnestly deprecate the initiation of such a radical change in the Policy which has hitherto, in their opinion, so wisely been followed here in all matters relating to Revenue, they are strongly impressed with the belief that no increased taxation whatever is necessary and that the existing Revenue will be found ample to meet any expenditure that is really called for or required in the Colony. Representing, as they assert themselves to represent, every class in the Community (Government Servants excepted), they sincerely believe that it will be far better in the interests of the Colony, and its residents of all walks in life, that, in the event of any increased taxation becoming actually necessary, it should be raised, as hitherto, by direct local taxation, than by incurring, what Your Memorialists believe to be, a certain risk of causing the withdrawal, or diminution, of that Trade, upon which alone the Colony exists, and of diverting from it that enormous capital, which is at present attracted here for investment or employment.\n\nYour Memorialists might, and can, controvert many of the statements and conclusions appearing in His Excellency's Reply, but their object is not to make Your Lordship the arbiter in a controversy between the Governor and the Colonists, but to endeavour to impress upon Your Lordship's mind that though they do not object to pay all necessary expenditure, they are sincere in their conviction that no increase of taxation is at present called for and, even if it be, that the mode of raising the money will be prejudicial to their interests and those of the Colony at large...\n\nYour Memorialists therefore humbly beg Your Lordship to advise Her Most Gracious Majesty to refuse the Royal Confirmation to the Stamp Ordinance.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-115 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 267062, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12]", "page_number": 7, "title": "CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12]", "content_text": "Duplicate.\n\n• 7981 полудъ рәриә зәрлеп\n\nA to a\n\nSTONYMOTTY PUR SHIRTS °F SNOLLIⱭⱭV\n\nOFFICE.\n\nPolice\n\nCREATION of New OFFICES and APPOINTMENTs in the Offices of HONGKONG, for the Quarter ended 30\n\n \n Name.\n Annual Salary.\n Date of appointment and of authority from the Governor?\n Date and description of the authority or instruction (if any) from Her Majesty's Government in England, in consequence of which the appointment was made.\n Date of the Governor's Despatch to Her Majesty's Government in England respecting the transaction, in cases where no previous authority may have been received,\n \n \n Assistant Inspector See ah Song\n $42110\n Governor's appoint Jon Colonial Secretary's letter s. 2 18 of 18 July 1866\n Governor's approval in Margin of Mint's letter No. 148 of 28 July 1866\n Cs 139 of 16 October 1866\n \n \n muis La ounces Mint Black Smith-Hammerman Andile ah Pow Ng Koon Bat\n $240\n General's office, Hongkong, 12th October, 1866.\n (Ime copy) eptember 1886.\n M140 of 17 October 1866\n \n\n(Signed)\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nColumn for Remarks in any particular case, and for the statement of any special circumstances.\n\n9.

The evidence given will be found below. Dr Ho Kai, instructed by Mr Caldwell, appeared on behalf of Lo Aluk for the prosecution, and Mr Wilson, of Messrs Wotton and Deacon, for the defence. The evidence given against the men seemed to implicate them in the attack, but there was a good deal of divergence in the individual prisoners identified by the constables. The most unsatisfactory witness was a Chinese detective, whose complicity or at least knowledge of the on-goings might have been guessed at from the manner in which he gave his evidence. Mr Wilson, who cross-examined him but could elicit from him nothing but a bare denial, said he was perfectly satisfied that he knew all about the case and his Worship animadverted on the character of a detective who refused to say what he evidently knew.\n\nThat the Chinese lukongs are not unconnected with this affair is strongly suspected by the authorities and this afternoon a detective named Afat was arrested along with a batch of about twenty other prisoners, alleged members of the Triad Society and instigators of the disturbance that occurred yesterday. In fact, it is said, that this Afat is one of the head ring-leaders of the Society and that he has been making a very good thing of it, pocketing a dollar or two from every new member.\n\nIt will be remembered that quite recently a charge of detention was brought against a certain shopman from whose house it was said a Chinaman detained for emigration purposes had thrown himself out of the window to escape being sent away, the charge was unsubstantiated and a charge of perjury was brought against the complainants. Now it is said that the attack yesterday evening arose out of this charge of perjury being persisted in. But whatever may be the exact origin of the affair there is no doubt that this Triad Society is at the bottom of the whole matter and that it will either have to be suppressed promptly or an order made that all such societies shall be duly registered by the Government. This latter course, which is adopted in Singapore, seems to be the best way out of the difficulty.\n\nAt first only the prisoners connected with the second disturbance were charged with the felony of belonging to a secret society; and it was the intention to proceed with this case with the utmost celerity so as to have it tried at the Supreme Court at the Criminal Sessions next Friday. We understand, however, that this charge of being connected with a secret society may be brought against all the prisoners, and before a thorough investigation can be made into the affair a longer time than six days will, we fear, be required.\n\nThe following is the evidence taken at the trial of the fourteen men this afternoon:\n\nThe fourteen men were tried before Mr Mitchell-Innes at the Police Court in the afternoon, Superintendent Deane being also on the bench. The men were charged at the instance of Lo Aluk, head coolie, or keeper of a coolie house, with fighting and creating a disturbance and with being members of the Triad Society; the first, second and third were also charged with cutting and wounding Wong Sa Fak, and the fourteenth was further charged with being armed with a deadly weapon, namely a sword.\n\nDuncan Macdonald P.C. No. 15, said: Yesterday a report was made to him about 7:30 that there was a fight taking place at Gough Street. He got the instructions from Inspector Mathieson and went to No. 6 Gough Street, accompanied by four or five constables. He arrested there 7 men pointed out by Lo Aluk, the complainant. Those were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th prisoners. He seized about sixty fighting poles, some of bamboo and some of wood. They were found on the ground floor of the room. The men were all greatly excited.\n\nHe found a man wounded in the Central Station; he had two long cuts in the back and one on the right hip. That man picked out the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prisoners, and said they were the men who wounded him. The injured man was taken to the Civil Hospital. The house where he arrested the men was a coolie house. There were no other persons on the same floor. The men were very quiet when he went in. He found the sticks in the same floor.\n\nCross-examined: He saw a good many people outside the house. All was quiet outside when he went down. The report made to him was that there was fighting in the street. He arrived on the spot between 7:30 and 8 p.m. He saw the complainant, Lo Aluk, in Gough Street, about 10 yards from Aberdeen Street. He afterwards saw him in the house. He had had no communication with Lo Aluk about going to Gough Street. He took Lo Aluk for a respectable man, and he pointed out the men who had been fighting to him. The men did not offer any opposition to his entering the house. There were a few Chinese constables with him when the arrest was made, but he could not tell their numbers, as they were in plain clothes. Most of the sixty poles were found inside the room about the door. None of the seven men had fighting poles in their hands. He was not the first to enter the house. There were two doors. He was standing at the front door. An entrance was made from the side door. P.C. No. 17, with other constables, entered from the side door. He could not say whether they appeared like men who had gone inside to avoid the row or were connected with the row.\n\nIt was dark when he entered and he could not say then whether there were more present at the time. A light, however, was afterwards got. No knives or other fighting weapons were found on the men. Lo Aluk was the only man who pointed out the seven men to him.\n\nRe-examined: He could swear positively to the 1st, 2nd and 8th being of the seven he arrested. The poles were scattered on the floor. There were only four or five outside. He was quite sure that he went straight to No. 6 Gough Street. He entered that house because there were most people about it. He entered on his own discretion.\n\nBy the Bench: Lo Aluk said in Chinese to him in the house \"These are some of the men who have been fighting.\"\n\nP.C. Gillies, said: Along with four or five constables he went to Gough Street. Lo Aluk was in the charge room making a complaint to Inspector Matheson; Lo Aluk went along with them and pointed out that the men were in No. 6. The front door was locked and they could not get in by it. They then went to the side door and burst it open. They found seven men in the house, whom Lo Aluk pointed out to him. There were the 1st, and 2nd, 4th and 5th, and 9th he recognised positively; No. 6 he was not sure about. The men were taken to the gaol. Some were standing on beds, some of them were in the cook house, some were near the front door. The bamboo sticks were standing against the door leading to the cook house or scattered about the floor. When the police went in the men in their hurry upset several lamps, leaving only one small lamp burning.\n\nCross-examined: The door was fastened from the inside so as to prevent anyone entering. They tried to escape when he entered. There was nobody outside but the police, and he thought it was of the police that they were afraid. When he went to the house he found a great number of people shouting outside. He did not see any poles outside. The side door was only in the form of a thin partition and was easily knocked in. The men were running about the room and when captured were identified by Lo Aluk as having made the attack on his house.\n\nP.C. Duncan Macdonald said: He went down with P.Cs. 17 and 15 and Lo Aluk to No. 6 Gough Street. The complainant pointed to No. 6. They tried to get in at the front door but could not manage it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331438, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "page_number": 521, "title": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "content_text": "Governor.;\n\nDate.\n\n1886\n\nNo.\n\n218\n\nPrevious Paper.\n\n10286\n\nAmount of £20 any\n\nPreceding Paper.\n\n1882\n\nHongkong\n\nNo 14198\n\n(Subject.)\n\nDESPATCH.\n\nC.

Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-\n\nW. H. MARSH.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $9,600 for the extension of the Cattle Depôt at Kennedy Town.\n\nThe present Depôt can accommodate 240 head of cattle intended to be slaughtered for the meat supply of the City; but the requirements of the town and of the shipping have grown so largely that the Acting Registrar General now states that the present accommodation is inadequate, and that room should be provided for at least 360 head of cattle.\n\nA copy of a letter on this subject from the Surveyor General is annexed,\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1887.\n\nNo. 9,\n\nEnclosure.\n\nPUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,\n\nHONGKONG, 10th January, 1887.\n\nSIR,\n\nSome years ago the Government built a Cattle Depôt at Kennedy Town destined to accommodate the cattle intended to be slaughtered for the meat supply of the City. It was stated at the time that room for 120 head of cattle would suffice, and that the market or depôt could be enlarged subsequently as the demands of the Colony increased.\n\n2. Two years ago the question was again considered, and it was stated that accommodation should be provided for at least 240 head of cattle. Accordingly in 1885, the Government placed on the Colonial Estimates for 1886, a sum of $10,000 for this extension of the Depôt.\n\n3. But the fact is the wants of the town and of the shipping are growing enormously from day to day, and the Registrar General now states that the recent extension is inadequate, and that room should be provided in the Depôt for at least 360 head of cattle.\n\n4. Of the necessity for this further extension I myself can entertain no doubt, for, on a recent examination of the place, I saw many bullocks picketed outside, exposed to all weathers, for want of room in the sheds.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334456, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 278, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "273\n\nC.\n\n15764\n\nC.5,0.\n\n964 of 1887.\n\n5. Cattle exposed in this unsheltered and somewhat inhuman manner are liable to contract disease, and as the Government now pays compensation for diseased cattle destroyed, there is always a risk of more or less heavy demands being made on the Colonial Treasury on this account.\n\n6. A further extension of the cattle sheds so as to enable them to hold 360 head would involve an outlay of $9,600, and if this proposition were sanctioned, a special vote for this amount would have to be asked of the Legislative Council.\n\n7. I ought, however, to mention that a balance has remained over of $1,840 from last year's vote of $10,000, so that if a special vote of $9,600 were now asked for, a proportion of $1,840 would in reality be nothing more than a re-vote, and it would only be the balance, i.e., $7,760 that would represent new expenditure.\n\n8. As a considerable revenue may be derived from this place if enlarged, the Government will doubtless have all the greater inducement to sanction a further extension of the accommodation. The 12 stalls proposed now to be added will bring in an additional $10 a month, representing a return of 5 per cent, on the outlay.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nThe Honourable F.

The Belilios Public School for Chinese girls, presented to the Government by the Hon. E. R. Belilios, and inaugurated yesterday with all due ceremony, is a fitting monument to the munificence which in so many ways has been identified with his name, and will stand as a lasting testimony to the public spirit of the donor. The inauguration was rightly made a function of an attractive, and even imposing, character, and the occasion, beyond its inherent significance, was marked by many features of special interest. It was a red-letter day in the history of education in the colony, a red-letter day for the rising female population, and a red-letter day for the Hon. E. R. Belilios himself.\n\nThe lengthy programme which had been arranged for the afternoon commenced at 2.30 with the cadet corps and band meeting at headquarters and marching through the town to the new building. This was the first public appearance of the corps, whose formation was due to the energy of Dr. Eitel, and the young cadets created a very favourable impression as they passed through the streets, their smart appearance in white tunics being an excellent testimonial to the care which has been expended on their drill and the natural aptitude of the lads themselves. At 3 o'clock, the scholars, in gay holiday attire, met at their respective schools and then proceeded to the new establishment. Shortly before 3.30, the Cadet Corps were formed up in front of the school as a guard of honour, and the public then began to arrive in large numbers. Among the early arrivals were Hons. E. R. Belilios, Hon. J. J. Roswick, Hon. E. Bowdler, Hon. G. T. M. O'Brien (Colonial Secretary), Hon. R. M. Rumsey (Harbour Master), Hon. N. G. Mitchell-Innes (Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Ho Kai, Hon. W. M. Goodman (Attorney General), Dr. Eitel, Mr. Lethbridge (Acting Captain Superintendent of Police), Dr. Ayres (Colonial Surgeon), and Mr. W. Chatham (Acting Director of Public Works). Then followed His Excellency Sir William and Lady Robinson, H.E. Major General Barker, Capt. Sterling, Capt. Murray, and Mr. C. Platt, H.E. Sir E. Fremantle arriving later. The Governor and the members of Council were then invited to inspect the new building, and the greatest satisfaction was expressed on all hands during the tour of the school. The official party, and subsequently the public, were evidently delighted with the magnificence of the place—the architectural beauty, structural conveniences, and the general appointments, and Mr. E. A. Ram (the architect) was warmly complimented on the result of his work. The building stands as one of the architectural ornaments of the city, and marks our progressiveness in an important direction.\n\nThe building is a three-storied one, with its principal facade towards Hollywood Road. The style selected by the architect is an adaptation of the English Renaissance, and the premises present a strikingly handsome and commodious appearance. The nature of the site has rendered it expedient to make the access from the Hollywood Road directly on to the first-floor level,\n\n47. 128\n\n'Rec? \n\n20. \n\n194\n\nand this arrangement has the advantage of obviating the necessity for scholars having to ascend more than one flight of stairs to their classrooms. Considerable care has evidently been bestowed upon the sanitary arrangements, which are on the most modern plan, all the fittings being of the most approved pattern. The block devoted to this department is cut off from the main building by a verandah and is practically surrounded by outside walls—a great desideratum from a sanitary point of view. The accommodation consists of six wash-basin and six W.Cs to each storey, the floors being of English tiles with dados of the same material. From an educational point of view, the school should be a great boon to the community, providing as it does for the accommodation of between 600 and 700 scholars. There are twelve classrooms, one upon each floor, and each will seat 48 children, with the exception of one which has an infants' gallery for 80 pupils. These classrooms are so arranged that those on each floor can be thrown into one by means of large sliding doors. All the apartments are airy, comfortable, and convenient. To the rear of the school, upon Gough Street, there is a commodious open playground with a concrete pavement, which forms a pleasant open space in a somewhat crowded locality. The cost of the building was $30,000.\n\nTHE PUBLIC MEETING IN THE PLAYGROUND. At four o'clock, His Excellency and Lady Robinson and the official party descended the steps into the playground, and the band played the National Anthem. There was a very large concourse of spectators, who were accommodated with chairs arranged on three sides of a large table on which the silver key of the building rested. The children were arranged on one side, with the Cadet Corps drawn up in line facing them. A great number of ladies graced the interesting function with their presence.\n\nMr. Chatham (Acting Director of Public Works) said—Your Excellency, I have been requested to state that the building, for the opening ceremony of which we are met here to-day, has been completed and furnished in a manner befitting the promise made by the Hon. E. R. Belilios to Government at the time when the site was handed over to him for the purpose. I need not trouble you with any statistics about the accommodation afforded and other matters. As a point which may not be touched on by the Inspector of Schools, however, I may mention that the requirements of the climate in a structural sense appear to have been provided for by the architect, Mr. Ram, who has evidently bestowed great pains on matters of arrangement and construction. School buildings in England have become almost palatial in their size and external and internal arrangements within recent years, and I think that the building before us to-day shows that we are not behind in this respect in Hongkong, but are keeping pace with the times. I can only add that I consider the colony must be congratulated on this important addition to its establishments for educational purposes.\n\nDr. Eitel said—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, My colleague, the Director of Public Works, having stated the grounds on which this new school building commends itself architecturally as acceptable to the public service, it remains for me to add a few words concerning the educational import of the new building. Sir, standing as we are, on ground which, from the earliest years of the Colony, has been associated (as a missionary residence) with education, on ground sacred since 1862 to the memory of the most faithful labours, for the education of the Chinese, connected with the name of the late Dr. Stewart, it may well befit the occasion to survey briefly the bearings of the educational movement in this Colony. The schools of Hongkong are the offspring of three distinct educational agencies: the Chinese, the Church, and the State. Ever since this dot in the ocean has been peopled, the leaders of the Chinese inhabitants have gone their own way in the matter of education, accepting neither aid, nor control, nor even advice from Church or State. Of some 300 schools now at work in this Colony, well-nigh 200 are the exclusive creation of the Chinese Kaifong or the Tungwa Hospital Committee. As Chinese trade has gone its own way\n\nPage 129", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 355341, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12]", "page_number": 326, "title": "CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12]", "content_text": "LANE, CRAWFORD & Co.\n\nPRICE LIST.\n\nPrices for articles not quoted in this list may be had on application.\n\n321\n\nBulzaal's Aurarussal Anti-fouling Compound..........\n\nNapier Johnstone's Whisky\n\nFastede Fund Coneix\n\nPigott and Wils' Gunpowder\n\ninternal resist...\n\nBrandy Spirits, Pale or Liquors.....\n\nCigars, Cigarettes and Tobacco.........\n\nTripe, Calf's Head and Tongue, Soups, Sauces, Pickles, &c.\n\nPreserving and Potting..\n\nShirts, Hosiery and Gloves\n\nHats and Caps\n\nUmbrella Ware\n\nTinware and Cooking Utensils\n\nAshok & Bridier's Ironmongery.......\n\nEnglish and American Electro-plated Ware\n\nEdge Tools, all kinds for Home or Ship's use\n\nHome Drapery and Paper\n\nFurniture, give full particulars)\n\nPianos, Organs and Melodians.....\n\nGame, Fowling-pieces and Pistols\n\nBicycles, every kind of Trico and Outdoor\n\nLaw Tennis Balls, Racks, Poles, Nets, &c....\n\nArenfeldt's Bankers, Stationery, and the Movies\n\nPrize Tomes, the latest sensation_\n\nShip Chandlery, Ship's Blocks and Fittings\n\nPaints and Brokers' Sundries\n\nMartianeta and Petroleum Agents\n\nMcEwan's Pilsener Beer\n\nJapan Bronzy Curaçao\n\nBooth's Gin\n\nBoiler & Co.'s Pianos.....\n\nAyala's Champagne\n\ntable Beer and Porter.....\n\nTupchine's Highland Dew Whisky\n\nAuldjo's Patent, large\n\ndo.\n\ndo.\n\nAustury Basons, è piai, 61, 4 79.\n\ndo.

The Registrar General shall transmit each application for the registration of a house as a common lodging-house to the Sanitary Board, and the Board shall then cause the house specified in such application to be inspected by one or more of its Officers who shall submit a report to the Board on the sanitary condition of such house, and its suitability for use as a common lodging-house.\n\n4.

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

And the D.P.W. points to an \"approved cross-section\" (under sec 18 of the code) as the result of this arrangement and the expression of this agreement is current.\n\nThe Resident Engineer for the Co repudiates this \"approved cross-section\" in toto. On such a matter, there ought to be no dispute whatever. Under sec 13, it was the duty of the Co at the time when they gave notice of intention to lay up the road to lay before the D.P.W. a cross-section.\n\nH. then suggests that we should invite the Company to state whether the cross-section forwarded by the Govt was laid by them before the D.P.W. according to sec 13 of the code, and if so, what; if not, whether any cross-section was laid by them before the D.P.Cs and approved by him.\n\nIf their answer is in the negative and they cannot show that there is any other \"approved cross-section\" in its place, they will be in a better and more consistent position, carrying out further work until there is an \"approved cross-section\".\n\nSee Bottom Standard.\n\nI think the Company should not be held to more than they are legally bound to do under the order if it appears to be the fact that they voluntarily entered into that agreement in consideration of being allowed privileges which they would not otherwise have obtained by the substitution of centre-pole for side-pole system.\n\nEither Dickens&Co have not been straightforward in their conception with the Govt, or there has been a misunderstanding between them, their Resident Engineer in Hong Kong, and the Govt.\n\nThe only reference I can find in Dickens&Co's letters to the alleged agreement is in their letter of 25th April, in which they say their clients \"would accept\" such an arrangement. According to the Govt, the Company did accept it by depositing a cross-section giving effect to it, and the Govt on their part accepted by approving the cross-section.\n\nThe matter should be cleared up.

The remaining works to which I have to refer are designed with a view to the carrying out of the complete scheme for developing the Tytam Tuk Valley and are shown on the accompanying plan. They comprise:-\n\n(a) The formation of a site for the pumping station near the head of Tytam Bay and the erection of the necessary buildings to accommodate the engines already ordered,\n\n(b) The construction of a new road contouring the lower part of the valley at an elevation of 130 to 150 feet above Ordnance Datum and then ascending to join the existing road near the new Byewash Reservoir.\n\n(c) The laying out of a suction main from the small pumping dam already constructed to the Pumping Station and of a rising-main from the latter to the gauge basin at the entrance to the Tytam Tunnel,\n\n11. With regard to the Pumping Station, I consider that it will be advisable to establish it somewhat lower down the bay than I at first contemplated. The points which have led to this decision are the improved depth of water available at the altered site and the necessity of keeping the station clear of any place where material to be excavated from the site of the future dam may be deposited. The buildings will be arranged in accordance with Mr. Chadwick's views to accommodate the pumping engines now on order and so as to admit of their future extension when additional pumping plant is required.\n\n12. The road will be constructed on the line already submitted to Mr. Chadwick from a point of junction with the Stanley Road to near the Byewash Dam at Tytam. It will ultimately be carried across the top of the future large dam to effect a junction with the road to Shaukiwan.\n\n13. The advisability of carrying it across the dam which I propose to construct at present and so saving a bridge has been fully considered, but", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 389896, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "page_number": 172, "title": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "content_text": "# Supreme Court, Hongkong\n## Geotraher 28, 1908\n\nSir,\n\n169\n\n1.

There will therefore be no great inconvenience caused by keeping the law unchanged.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received March 21.)\n\n(No. 60.)\n\nPeking, February 3, 1908.\n\nSir,\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 23 of the 8th January last, in confirmation of my telegram No. 26 of the 27th ultimo, I have the honour to transmit to you a copy of a Memorandum which I have received from the Wai-wu Pu on the 24th January, in which the Chinese Government at length, after considerable hesitation, signify their willingness to accept the proposal of the Indian Government to decrease the total annual export of Indian Opium, taken on the basis of 51,000 chests, by 5,100 chests per annum, to commence from 1908.\n\nThe Board at the same time renew their expression of gratitude for the assistance afforded to China by His Majesty's Government.\n\nPrior to this I had received on the 10th January a Memorandum, copy of which I have the honour to inclose, in reply to my Memorandum, forming inclosure in my despatch No. 23 of the 8th January, in which, while admitting the greater feasibility from the point of view of convenience of the Indian plan, the Chinese Government betray a complete misunderstanding of the whole question by reiterating their previously expressed view that the annual reduction should be based upon the total import of 42,320 chests, on the erroneous assumption that an export of 51,000 chests from India would necessarily mean a corresponding increase by 8,680 chests, the difference between 42,320 and 51,000 of the annual import into China, As a compromise, they were willing to halve the difference, and they therefore requested that the annual decrease should be 4,660 chests, based upon a fictitious average of 46,660 chests formed by the addition of 4,340 chests to the annual import of 42,320 chests shewn in the Customs Returns.\n\nIn a Memorandum of the 17th January I pointed out the advantages of the Indian scheme over the plan proposed by the Chinese Government, and eventually, on the 24th ultimo I received the Memorandum referred to in my telegram No. 26, in which the Chinese Government at length accepted the Indian proposal without any modification.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ. N. JORDAN,\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum communicated by Wai-wu Pu to Sir J. Jordan, January 24, 1908.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nTHE Board have had under earnest consideration Sir John Jordan's Memorandum of the 17th instant on the subject of the measures to be taken for the restriction of opium, stating that in Sir John Jordan's opinion the limitation of the total export of Indian opium to all countries would be the more advantageous to China, and asking the Board to reconsider the matter before coming to a final decision.\n\nThe Board have come to the conclusion that the direct restriction by China herself of the import into the Treaty ports would be impracticable, and they fully recognize that the proposal of His Majesty's Government, taking as a basis the total export of Indian opium to all countries, to decrease the amount annually is the result of an earnest desire on the part of His Majesty's Government to suppress the use of opium. The Board have the honour therefore to request that the total export of Indian opium, taken on the basis of 51,000 chests, may be decreased annually by 5,100 chests, thus effecting the total abolition of the trade in ten years from 1908.\n\nThe Board have also the honour to request Sir John Jordan to convey to His Majesty's Government the expression of their deep gratitude.\n\n[2889 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416586, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 751, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "R\n\nConfidential.\n\n744\n\n22709\n\n23 JUN CS\n\n[ 21 3\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs\n\npresents his compliments to the Under-Secretary of State for\n\nthe Colonies, and is directed by the Secretary of State\n\nfor Foreign Affairs to transmit the accompanying sections of\n\nprinted confidential correspondence, for communication to the Governor of Hongkong\n\nForeign Office,\n\nJune 22, 1908.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 418380, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-354 - Public Offices & Others - 1908", "page_number": 330, "title": "CO129-354 - Public Offices & Others - 1908", "content_text": "Tom Lofthouse's \n\nwere present \n\nrelations \n\nto meet him \n\nat \n\nSouthampton \n\non \n\nThe \n\narrival of the \n\n\"Yorck\" \n\non \n\nCS \n\n11 June \n\nhis attendant brought \n\nhim \n\nto this office. \n\nAs \n\nno \n\ncommunication \n\nreceived from you \n\nin reply to \n\nthe \n\ntelegraphic enquiry \n\nas \n\nto \n\nwhat \n\nwas \n\nto be done with Mr \n\nLofthouse, he \n\nwas \n\non the 12th instant \n\nconducted \n\nfrom Paddington, provisions \n\nbeing \n\nobtained \n\nat \n\nHanford, and placed \n\nin \n\nthe charge of the guard of the \n\ntrain leaving \n\nat \n\n6-10pm, and \n\nyou \n\nwere \n\ninformed by \n\n327 \n\ntelegraph of his \n\ndeparture \n\nand requested \n\nto arrange \n\nto meet \n\nhim \n\nat his \n\ndestination. \n\n2.

Ship under my command from the 30th January to the 3rd February, 1935.\n\n2.\n\nWednesday 30th January • at 0900 H.M.S. \"Defender\" assumed duties of Duty Destroyer and sailed in company with H.M.S. \"Hermes\" for flying practices. These took place in the south-western part of the patrol area, which was entered at 1045. On completion of flying practices at 1245, H.M.S. \"Defender\" proceeded to Saman Roads, coming to anchor at 1322. At 1830, weighed and proceeded to carry out a dusk patrol across the entrance to Bias Bay, anchoring in Harlem Bay, at 1852.\n\n3.\n\nThursday, 31st January. At 0545, weighed and proceeded to carry out a dawn patrol off Tokai Point and Mendoza Island. Subsequently proceeding to rendezvous with Captain (D), 8th Destroyer Flotilla at 0900 off Waglan for exercises. On completion of exercises at 1005, H.M.S. \"Defender\" returned to the patrol area, and anchored in Mirs Bay at 1240. At 1830, weighed and proceeded to carry out a dusk patrol between Mirs Point and Single Island, anchoring in Saman Roads at 2000.\n\n4.\n\nFriday, 1st February • At 0445 weighed in order to make weather report, and proceeded to patrol off Single Island, subsequently anchoring off Mirs Point, prior to joining H.M.S. \"HERMES\" off Bate Island at 0940 for flying practices. These were carried out in Mirs Bay and the western part of the patrol area, and during this period H.M.S. \"DEFENDER\" was keeping W/T watch on 240 k/cs, H.M.S. \"HERMES\" being guard on 113 k/cs.\n\n5. At 1250 your signal 1145/1st February was received from H.M.S. \"KARNES\", and I was ordered to proceed as directed therein at 1300. About 25 minutes was lost through this signal first being passed by V/S in coded groups many of which were mutilated. Position at 1244 was 6.4 miles 213 deg: from Single Island, course 060 deg: speed 15 knots. Before parting company, Commanding Officer, H.M.S. \"HERMES\" informed me by signal that aircraft would be flown off in the afternoon to search out the area in the vicinity of Chilang Point.\n\n6. I accordingly set course for Chilang Point at 24 knots, intending to close in towards Goat Island and investigate the coast between Tai Sami Head and Chilang Point before establishing a patrol to the southeastward of Chilang Point.\n\n7.\n\nAt about 1400 I observed that one of the two aircraft sent out by H.M.S. \"HERMES\" was patrolling along the coast. I therefore decided that it would be unnecessary for me to waste time in closing Goat Island and maintained my course for position 8 miles south of Chilang Point.\n\n8.\n\nAt 1500 I overtook the S.S. \"SUISANG\" northward bound, to whose Master I passed a message requesting him to inform the A.P. vessel if he saw or heard anything of S.S. \"TUNGCHOW\".\n\n9.\n\nAt about 1510 I observed a small steamer in Hong Hai Bay (estimated position 5 miles 270 degrees from Tsiech Point) steering for Tai Sami. It appeared to me to be one of the small vessels which ply between the coastal villages lying between Mirs Bay and Hie Chi Chin Bay. This I considered to be confirmed by the fact that the aircraft which had passed over her vicinity had not reported her.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-553-3 Anti-piracy measures 7-3-1935 - 4-11-1935.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 548266, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-553-3 Anti-piracy measures 7-3-1935 - 4-11-1935", "page_number": 84, "title": "CO129-553-3 Anti-piracy measures 7-3-1935 - 4-11-1935", "content_text": "84\n\n17.\n\nSunday, 3rd February.\n\nAt 0200 proceeded to the westward so as to be off Bias Bay at dawn, in accordance with H.M.S. \"DECOY'S\" signal 2218/2. At 0530 patrolled from Mendoza Island to the westward of Lokaup Island and then into Bias Bay to a depth of 5 miles. By 0700 it was full daylight and the vicinity had been thoroughly searched without any vessel being sighted. This was reported in my signal 0656/3. I then proceeded to the westward preparatory to returning to harbour if approved.\n\n18. At 0850 your signal 0830/3 was received, course was altered to 090 deg: and speed increased to 24 knots, proceeding to Pedro Blanco. My position at 0858 was 12 miles 251 deg: from Single Island, arriving off Pedro Blanco at 1035, a patrol toward Chilang Point was established at 20 knots, as the A.P. orders state that this should be a fast patrol. At 1225 the patrol ordered in your signal 1120/3 was established at 13 knots.\n\n19. At 1324 on receipt of your signal 1300/3 returned to harbour, arriving at 1905 and fueling from R.F.A. \"FRANCOL\".\n\n20.

Owing to exercise and the piracy of the \"TUNGCHOW\" it was impossible to carry out all W/T routines with Police Launches and Chinese stations, and watch of 500 k/cs was greatly curtailed owing to traffic on 113 k/cs. Communication with Ping Hoi and the \"WU FUNG\" was very good, but could not be established with Autau. Communication returns are submitted herewith.\n\n24. I deeply regret failing to sight the \"TUNGCHOW\" at about 1500 on Friday, 1st February, due undoubtedly to the fact that \"DEFENDER\" was 11 miles off Tsieh Point and \"TUNGCHOW\" was against the land. I feel I placed too much reliance on the aircraft patrol, without which I would have proceeded close past Pokai Point and east of Goat Island. At the same time, had I come upon her before the pirates left, I would have been severely handicapped by the presence of the 70 children on board. Their safety could only have been ensured by allowing the pirates to get clear away, possibly without their loot.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nThe Commodore,\n\nHong Kong.\n\n(Copy to The Captain (D),\n\n8th Destroyer Flotilla, H.M.S. \"Duncan\").\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n(sa) R.

The observation of fire by the \nvarious B.Cs. was erratic, but the giving of orders was in every \ninstance correct. The D.R.F. work was good.\n\nTowards the end of 1935, \"L\" Section was formed with \nB.Q.M.S. Moses as acting Section Commander, and the Battery became \nknown as \"A\" Section. Together they now form the Corps 1st Battery. \nThe keenness on parade and willingness to learn augurs well for \ntheir future efficiency, but although the section is only in its \ninfancy, I consider it is now ready and anxious to undergo a \ncomprehensive and constructive training programme. I have every \nfaith in their capabilities to make a good section of it, and \nconfidently expect them to give a good account of themselves by the \nend of next training season.\n\nIt is also hoped to work up, during next training season, \na strong though possibly small \"unit reserve\". Lieut. M.I. de Ville, \nlate in 1935, finding he had not sufficient time to devote to \"A\" \nSection went to unit reserve in command.\n\nRecruits are coming forward quite well, and it is gratifying to see the younger lads joining.

Altogether 7 rounds of 3 pounder sub-calibre blank were fired.\n\nB.S.M. Jack who has 24 years service to his credit was \nawarded the Jubilee Medal in May 1935, and in March 1936 Sergeant \nWebb, Gunner Mooro, and Gunner Buxton were awarded the Efficiency \nMedal.

Thereafter supplies were obtained locally and from the Pasteur Institute at Bandoeng.\n\nThe Port Health Authority arranged for the crew and emigrants on all vessels departing overseas to be inoculated. Inoculation was also recommended to cabin passengers.\n\nThe large shipping companies insisted that all passengers produce inoculation certificates signed by a Government medical officer or private medical practitioner.\n\nThe large number of foreign war refugees sent down from Shanghai were all inoculated immediately on arrival, and no cases of cholera occurred among them. In most cases only one prophylactic dose was given, the average strength of which was 3000 million organisms in 1 c.c.\n\nIt was extremely difficult to obtain any useful information from patients as many of them were illiterate and many were too collapsed.\n\nFigures showing the incidence of the disease among the inoculated and uninoculated relate only to a proportion of the total cases.

Colonial Office. \nClass II. 8. Colonial and Middle Eastern Services.\n\nThe amount provided on the Colonial Office Vote for the financial year 1939-40 was £183,923. From the examination which has now been made of the expenditure falling under this Vote it appears that, whilst certain savings will arise, these will be offset by a remanet charge of £250 in respect of the expenses of the Conferences on Palestine, and by the shortage in Appropriations in Aid due to the operation of Treasury Circular `E.M.2`. The position will, however, be clearer later in the financial year when the usual statement of Savings and Excesses is to be submitted to the Treasury.\n\nThe scrutiny which has been made of the Colonial and Middle Eastern Services Vote shows that certain savings can be effected, but it is clear that, on the other hand, some unavoidable excesses are bound to occur.

We have had some recent correspondence on this question on which I last wrote to you on the 21st March, but the High Commissioner's telegram does suggest that it may be possible on information in Australia to determine the amounts of the expenditure which would, under our standing arrangements, be recoverable from His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom.\n\nThere appear now to be two points with which we have to deal:-\n\n(1) Payments in respect of July, August and September (i.e. £31,469. 7. 9 vide my letter of 19th February 1942). These, we suggest, might be paid by the Crown Agents to the Commonwealth High Commissioner in London; the Crown Agents could, if authorised, find money from the Joint Colonial Fund in their hands, to be recovered from Hong Kong funds as they become available. A contribution could be made thereto from the Colonial Office vote of credit, on the basis set out in paragraph 2 of the High Commissioner's telegram, i.e., £1,300 per month in respect of maintenance allowances (final adjustment to depend on details to be received from Maughan), leaving family remittances for Government officials and non-Government officials as... \n\n8.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-589-20 Evacuation- financial arrangements 26-7-1941 - 3-1-1944.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 574372, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-589-20 Evacuation- financial arrangements 26-7-1941 - 3-1-1944", "page_number": 148, "title": "CO129-589-20 Evacuation- financial arrangements 26-7-1941 - 3-1-1944", "content_text": "# DRAFT SAVING TELEGRAM\n\n**HONG KONG** \n**Govt.**\n\n**File References:** \n`F.J. 12:5, 61.

If the investments or any part of them can be realised, then this should take place before assistance is sought from the Exchequer and the proceeds used for current purposes.\n\nAs regards the accounting arrangements if the assistance were in the form of a grant in aid, Treasury control within the framework of Miscellaneous 460A procedure would have to be instituted. An annual estimate would have to be submitted to the Treasury for approval and an annual account would have to be prepared for certification and report by an Auditor and also possibly by the D.C.A. The extent to which it would be possible for such a statement to be prepared and certified is largely dependent upon the form of accounts to be kept by the Hong Kong Office in London but you will see from the minutes on file 593A.A/cs. attached that I have already taken up with D.C.A. the question of certification of a statement relating to the evacuee expenditure in Australia, which we are meeting from the Vote of Credit, and that, for the reasons given in his minute of 11.8.43, the D.C.A. does not feel able to certify this expenditure.\n\nThis would apply equally to the balance of the Australian expenditure at present charged against Hong Kong funds and also possibly to the expenditure which is being incurred through the various Consular representatives.\n\nSome of the Crown Agents direct expenditure would, however, no doubt be susceptible to audit.\n\nAlthough it might be possible to audit the London accounts in which local expenditure is incorporated, I think that the Auditor's certificate would necessarily have to be subject to considerable reservations as to the extent of the check on the authority for such expenditure.\n\nWe have so far not been called upon to make a grant of the nature required from the Vote of Credit and I think that it would be rather opposed to the normal Treasury procedure to do so.

U.S. S. \nMinister of State \nSecretary of State \n\nYour Reference.................... \n\nST \n\nDear Mackay, \n\nWill you please refer to my letter of the 16th December last, about `XCR(85)72` regarding the rate of allowance to be paid to students under Scheme D (SDWAG NO.091) (Copy for Finance bys) for the training of engineering apprentices from Hong Kong University, whose particulars we had hoped to have by the 31st July.\n\nThe period of the interim grant under this Scheme ends on the 31st July, by which date we had hoped to have sufficient particulars to enable us to make a detailed final Scheme.\n\nFrom a list of ten candidates chosen from a large field by local Selection Committees, the Federation of British Industries picked six names and in July 1947 the Governor was asked to make the final selection of five from these. In November 1947 he reported that two of the six were willing to accept apprenticeships, two had declined, and the remaining two were proving difficult to trace. One of these duly arrived, but we have lately heard that the second, after his acceptance, has decided, after all, to decline.\n\nIn these circumstances, there seems to be no point in delaying any further the...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-596-6 Hong Kong University- Apprenticeship scheme 11-5-1949 - 8-8-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 583988, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-598-2 Tai Lam Chung Reservoir Project 24-6-1948 - 3-3-1949", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-598-2 Tai Lam Chung Reservoir Project 24-6-1948 - 3-3-1949", "content_text": "## Enclosure 2\n\nThe consumption of water in Hong Kong is still below the average daily consumption even with drastic restrictions still in force. This makes no allowance for any increase in the population, nor for the badly needed extension of the flush sewage system, which it is impossible to consider unless further water resources are developed. In many areas in the Colony, building permits have necessarily to include a clause prohibiting the use of mains water in W.Cs. and latrines. Plate No.7 in the attached paper on the Hong Kong Water Works by the Waterworks Engineer, Mr. Jackson, shows that by 1957, a demand for a complete flushing system will increase the estimated demand for water in the Island and Kowloon by about 12 million gallons per day. I would invite your attention particularly to that part of the paper headed \"**Conclusions**\" on pages 53 to 55. The whole report is indeed of interest as showing the grave and recurring nature of the problem of the Colony's water supply.\n\n5. The consumption of water both on the Island and the mainland is increasing steadily year by year, and it is evident that with the existing facilities, the Island alone cannot be self-supporting in water unless there is a very appreciable decrease in the population, of which there is no indication whatever. If, therefore, the large capital expenditure involved in the Little Hong Kong scheme were incurred, it would be no solution to the problem, and we would still require considerable additional supplies from the New Territories, both for the Island and for Kowloon on the mainland.\n\n6. I regret that I have not available an estimate of the cost of the Little Hong Kong scheme, but it would undoubtedly be greater per million gallons of water than the `Tai Lam Chung` scheme since it involves the construction of two dams instead of one, extensive and expensive resumptions of land and buildings, and diversions of considerable lengths of roads and other services. While it would go a little way to meet the present requirements of the Island, it would be totally inadequate to meet foreseen requirements and could never ensure that the Island would be self-supporting.\n\n7. As regards paragraph five of your telegram under reply, the `Tai Lam Chung Scheme` does not involve expensive resumptions. It requires only one dam with the usual catchwaters, trunk mains, filters, and service reservoirs. The Consulting Engineers in their report of 27th December, 1940, stated clearly and with reasons that the main dam and trunk line to Kowloon should be constructed in their final form. No modified programme for these works can, therefore, be advised. The remaining portion of the `Tai Lam Chung Scheme`, comprising pumping stations, filter beds, service reservoirs, and distribution mains, can, however, be carried out in instalments over a period of years, and these works could be accelerated or slowed down to meet any increased or reduced demand due to variation in the population. The main headworks and trunk lines to Kowloon must, however, be put in to meet the full requirements from the outset. The `Tai Lam Chung Scheme` can be developed to provide approximately 30 million gallons per day, of which 18 to 20 million gallons would normally be available for the Island and the balance for Kowloon and New Kowloon.\n\n8. This matter has been under detailed and expert examination since before the war, and I am satisfied that, despite the consideration raised in your telegram, the only really satisfactory solution is to make a start with the `Tai Lam Chung Scheme` as soon ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-598-2 Tai Lam Chung Reservoir Project 24-6-1948 - 3-3-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 585660, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-602-1 General orders relating to government quarters and rent allowance 6-8-1946 - 17-2-1947", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-602-1 General orders relating to government quarters and rent allowance 6-8-1946 - 17-2-1947", "content_text": "# C.I\n\n1.

With improved housing conditions, the consumption per head of the existing population will increase, and there is the future population to be allowed for.\n\nThe position is really serious, and it is extremely desirable that at an early stage, the areas for Catchment are marked out, so that there may be no danger of interference. The Tai Lam Chung Valley scheme appears to be the most practical one for a large increase, but the relation of speed of construction to the demands of increasing population is so close that it may be necessary to delay the installation of flushed W.Cs. until possibly the year 1957.\n\nA drainage scheme would be required simultaneously with the full water supply: it has been suggested that the sewage should be transported clean outside the urban area to the agricultural lands, where it can be made full use of for production purposes.\n\n## PART III. REALISATION\n\nThe matters discussed under the fourteen headings of Part II will give some idea of the general lines which should be followed in preparing a Development plan for Hong Kong, and certain specific suggestions which the Plan might adopt, worked out into more precise form.\n\nAll these positive suggestions were discussed with Mr. S.O. Hill, the Town Planning Officer, and sketches left with him. What has been done in the writing of this Report has been to go over the ground again, in the light of mature reflection, and to come to decisions on many points which were left open while on the visit to the Colony.\n\nIt is now time to prepare and work out a definitive Plan; and for this purpose, the Town Planning Officer will require a considerable staff and a large office. As mentioned in Part I, there are several aspects of survey work on which more detailed information is required; these additional surveys would naturally be prepared by the same staff, with help from other departments, e.g., Medical Office and Welfare Office, Chairman of the Urban Council, P.W.D., and official bodies such as the Chamber of Commerce.\n\nThere will come a certain time in the preparation of this Development Plan when decisions will have to be taken upon major recommendations, especially those involving a financial outlay. Some decisions, indeed, may be made upon the basis of this Preliminary Report. Such a question as the Tunnel will affect central planning on both sides of the Harbour; the question of the evacuation of the Services from Queens Road will affect the planning of the Central Area; the question of an ultimate housing density will affect the area in Kowloon required for rehousing the decentralised population.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-614-3 Visit of Sir Patrick Abercrombie to advise on town planning 4-1-1948 - 10-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 593897, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-616-2 Hong Kong War Memorial Fund (Amendment) Ordinance 1948 6-2-1948 - 16-11-1948", "page_number": 59, "title": "CO129-616-2 Hong Kong War Memorial Fund (Amendment) Ordinance 1948 6-2-1948 - 16-11-1948", "content_text": "## CONTRIBUTIONS TO HONG KONG WAR MEMORIAL FUND.-Continued.\n\n| Name | Amount | Name | Amount | Name | Amount | Name | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Ho Ga Yu, Mr. & Mrs. | 40.00 | Ho Siu Hong, Mr. | 300.00 | Hongkong St. Andrews Society | $100,000.00 | King Tai Guan | 100.00 |\n| Ho Kum Tong, Mr. & Mrs. | 1,000.00 | Ho Tung, Sir Robert | 10,000.00 | Hongkong Stock Exchange Ltd. | 25.00 | J.

The general standard of living must be raised and improvements made in housing conditions.\n\nHousing and over-crowding are the most potent factors involved in the spread of the disease, and until reasonable good housing conditions are available, treatment and care of tuberculosis, however scientific or otherwise, will be merely tackling the surface of the problem.\n\nIn Hong Kong, the worst congestion of overcrowding is in the Chinese tenement houses. I have seen old type tenements with practically no open space at the rear, nor lavatory conveniences, packed up with bunks three tiers high.\n\nThe slums and old type tenements have to be cleared in, say, 15 to 20 years, for the rebuilding of modern type houses with the required open space and conveniences, and legislation made to attain this end. I see no reasonable or serious objection to this Bill becoming law, as sufficient time will be given to property owners to effect this rebuilding plan.\n\n### (2)\n\n#### Size of lot\n\nI produce here plan A, showing the new type of Chinese tenement house erected before the war, the average lot dimension of each house is about 15' x 60' in newly developed areas. The depth of old tenements varies between 80 to 100 feet. In the old tenements or even the newly erected tenements, a large amount of floor space is taken up by passage ways unavoidable in long narrow plans.\n\nFor the same lot area, a 22' x 45' lot would give better planning and use with direct air and light to each room. It is obvious that plans B and C are decided improvements over A; depth of lots in Chinese tenement areas should be shortened in future town planning schemes with a wider street frontage to each house.\n\n#### (ii) Cooklofts or mezzanine floors\n\nCooklofts or mezzanine floors in tenements are officially for storage but normally used as sleeping quarters. The height of ground floor is usually 16' 0\" and there is only a 6' headroom to the cookloft or mezzanine floor. It is generally agreed that cooklofts are undesirable by the Authorities.

W.Cs. are not permitted by the Authorities in the Mongkok and Ho Man Tin areas as the sewers discharge into the Typhoon Shelter.

This is particularly important in the case of Siamese free rice since H.K. has so far only received our savingram of 9.8.48 in which it was suggested the whole amount should be paid over to H.K., whereas we ourselves have since come to the conclusion that the notional B.M.A. period portion should not be paid to H.K., and our dispute with the Treasury is on the notional post B.M.A. portion.

Whilst the terms of any H.K. Supplementary Financial Settlement need not necessarily affect Malaya or Borneo territories since these territories have already received assistance from H.M.G. in other forms to a far greater extent than has H.K., yet if we persuade Treasury to agree to waive any claim in respect of \"hangover\" stores in the case of H.K., obviously the same line would have to be taken in the case of the Federation of Malaya and North Borneo, in view of their financial position, and Singapore and Sarawak and Brunei inevitably reap the advantages accorded to their poorer neighbouring territories.\n\nNo. 1 on 55413/1/50 has not been answered but perhaps no answer is required in view of the drafts on this file.\n\nA copy of the savingram should be registered for cason by the 58.

Although the original intention was to keep the two organizations separate they were merged, both administratively and financially, as a result of your savingram 945 of 22nd September 1948. Consequently, both the grant and loans for the agricultural village depots have been incorporated in the general funds of the Vegetable Marketing Organization. Profits arising from the operation of the depots cannot, except by arbitrary division, be separated from the profits of the Vegetable Marketing Organization. In so far as the payment, from the profits of the Organization, of rates, rents, and petrol duties, which are proper charges, is concerned it may be held that the original conditions governing the grant to the depots are not being fulfilled in that the surplus available indirectly to the depots is diminished. On the other hand reference to the accounts of the Organization reveals that the expenditure on the depots is only a very small proportion of the total expenditure of the organization. It may be argued, equally well, that none of the profits arising from the operation of the depots which, even on an arbitrary basis, are only a small proportion of the total profits of the organization, are, in fact, being diverted to general revenue in the form of taxes and duties but that only the remaining profits earned by the organization proper are used to meet these charges.\n\nAs the Director of Audit has again raised this question in his report for 1950/51 I should be grateful if you would approve the continuation of the present practice of levying taxes and duties on the Vegetable Marketing Organization and of the existing methods of accounting for the expenditure incurred in respect of the village agricultural depots under Colonial Development and Welfare scheme D.994 as part of the general expenditure of the Vegetable Marketing Organization.\n\nWith reference to paragraph 5 of the report I stated, in paragraph 4 of my savingram 350 of 29th March, 1951, that it was regretted that no detailed estimates covering expenditure on village agricultural depots in 1949/50 were originally prepared. Expenditure was approved in principle and subsequently authorized retrospectively in detail.\n\nRMH: IS", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-626-9 Wholesale vegetable marketing scheme 1-2-1951 - 30-11-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 599022, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-626-9 Wholesale vegetable marketing scheme 1-2-1951 - 30-11-1951", "page_number": 17, "title": "CO129-626-9 Wholesale vegetable marketing scheme 1-2-1951 - 30-11-1951", "content_text": "Secretariat file 7/2526/48.\n\nColonial Office 409/17/cs.\n\nSAVINGRAM\n\n34\n\nTo the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nFrom the Governor, Hong Kong.
