THURSDAY, 22D APRIL, 1858. \n\n**SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG, CRIMINAL SESSIONS.** \n\nThis was all the evidence adduced, and after the libelous article was put in and read, Mr Day addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in a very ingenious speech expatiated largely on the liberty of the press, and the rights of our forefathers, and earnestly begged the Jury not to forego their rights, by their verdict. It was impossible to bring the Government of this colony into contempt, as the indictment alleged; everybody knew it was contemptible enough, without the aid of the defendant. It was notorious that the Government had not dared to indict them, but similar articles had appeared in all the local journals, and had not pounced upon his client. He was sure the Jury would establish their privileges by acquitting the defendant.\n\nMonday, 19th April, 1858. Jury—Messrs R. Deacon, A. Serrys, A. Gutierrez, F. Schirley, H. G. Stuart, W. Hyatt, and E. Thomas. **YORICK JONES MURROW,—Libel.** This case, which was postponed from the last Sessions on the alleged illness of the defendant, came on in order of trial. John Day, Esq., appeared as Counsel, and Mr E. K. Stace, Solicitor, for the defendant. The Honourable the Attorney General stated the case to the Jury, and said the defendant was charged with publishing a malicious libel, reflecting on the character of H. E. Sir John Bowring, in his capacity of Governor of this island. The libel itself consisted in an article which appeared in the **Daily Press**. (The learned Attorney here read the paragraph):— \n\n\"It is well known that our Governor has a near relative in one of our eminent houses. The **Phœbe Dunbar**, a ship consigned to that house, was chartered by government, without any tender having been advertised, at an unheard-of rate. The same thing occurred in the case of the **Lancashire Witch**, also consigned to the same eminent firm. The steamer **Ava** was detained (at least it was so alleged on the authority of General Ashburnham) in order to enable a steamer belonging to the same firm to reach Calcutta first with important advices upon the Opium market. The same influential establishment has enjoyed the exclusive privilege of having a special agent at Canton during the late occurrences, where they secured extensive premises before any rival could be in the field to compete with them. The notices of the removal of the blockade and regulations of trade, although placed in The Governor's hands to be made as public as possible, were on one occasion suppressed until after the departure of the mail, and on another issued on the day subsequent to the date of the Gazette. We shall find the sequel will be, jobbery, favoritism, and dishonesty riding rampant, clean hands being wanted to interpose a salutary check on practices usually considered mercenary and disreputable.” \n\nThe Court addressing the Jury said, first, that they must consider if the article was libelous, and was calculated to bring Sir John Bowring's conduct into contempt, and reflected on his private as well as on his public character; and secondly, was the defendant the author. If they were satisfied of this, they would find the defendant guilty; if, on the other hand, they believed the publication of the article not calculated to injure Sir John Bowring's character, or bring him into disrepute, they would return a verdict of not guilty. The Jury then retired, and returned in fifteen minutes with a verdict of **Guilty**, unanimously.\n\nThe defendant was then called up for judgment. His Lordship, in a feeling address, said he feared the defendant's pen had been emboldened by the reluctance of the Government to prosecute such scurrilous and defamatory articles as sometimes emanated from the press in this colony, and further, that defendant's pen had been emboldened by the very lenient sentence passed in a recent case before the Court—a simple fine, which was raised by subscription, thus setting the law at defiance. He had a painful duty to perform, but he should not shrink from it; he was determined to vindicate the law, and put a stop to the unmeasured abuse of public individuals. He therefore felt compelled to sentence the defendant to **Imprisonment for the period of Six Calendar Months**, and further that he do pay a **Fine of One Hundred Pounds** to the Queen, and be further Imprisoned till such fine be paid.\n\n**LUIZ J. DE JESUS**, Sworn. I was in the employ of Mr Morrow, as Printer of the **Daily Press**. The article in question was sent to me from Mr Murrow; it was in the handwriting of Mr L. E. Murrow, the defendant's brother. I received a letter from the Crown Solicitor, which induced me to write to the defendant, and in reply he acknowledged the article in question to have been dictated by him, though written by his brother. [Cross-examined by Mr DAY,—I cannot produce the note or the manuscript; all manuscripts were destroyed as soon as printed.]\n\n**The Hon. JOSEPH JARDINE**, Sworn. I have read the paragraph in the **Daily Press**. It refers to the Government, Steamers, and Merchants. There is a sentence which refers to the Blockade of Canton river. Our house is one of the firms mentioned. We have a son of Sir John Bowring, a partner in our firm. My impression after reading the article, is, that a serious charge of corruption is preferred against H. E. Sir John Bowring, as Governor. The **Lancashire Witch** and the **Phœbe Dunbar** were consigned to our firm; the former vessel was chartered to the local government; the **Phœbe Dunbar** was chartered to the Admiral. It is entirely false that the **Ava** was detained to enable our firm to send important advices per **Lancefield**, so that that vessel could reach Calcutta first. The steamer **Ava** was in the employ of Government. The cause of the delay was this: I had to attend a meeting of the Legislative Council, and when there, I found the **Ava** was advertised to leave the next morning with a mail for Calcutta. I then told Sir John Bowring, that I could not stop, having business to transact before its departure; and His Excellency replied that he would ask General Ashburnham to detain the steamer till 4 P.M.—if that would do. I said 2 P.M. would suit. After the Council we went to General Ashburnham for leave to delay the steamer till 2 P.M., when General Ashburnham said it was quite immaterial to him, and he would delay her till 9 A.M. the next day. [By Mr Day.] The Captain of the **Phœbe Dunbar** sent in a formal tender to the Government, which was accepted by Mr Mercer, the Colonial Secretary, for the Government. She was to go to Hainan with deported Chinese. She was to have £1 per ton for the first six months and 18s. per ton afterwards. This was the ordinary rate; other ships were getting an equal rate. It was never for a moment contemplated by us that the detention of the **Ava** was to enable one of our steamers to reach Calcutta first with advices relating to our Opium Market. There is not a shadow of truth in the assertion that it was for the purposes of jobbery that the steamer was delayed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-067 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 297734, "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": "CO129-173 - Sir Kennedy - 1876 [1-3]", "page_number": 195, "title": "CO129-173 - Sir Kennedy - 1876 [1-3]", "content_text": "192\n\nOffice of Captain Superintendent of\n\nMr James Russell how\n\nFor James\n\nPolice\n\n-\n\nSecond Police Magistrate - and Mr J.

In the centre was placed a large American shield, flanked on each side by British shields and surmounted by the American, French, and English ensigns. A guard of honour of the 27th (Inniskillings), with the Colours and the Band, were drawn up on the Pier, and the Police, under the charge of Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from the Pier to Government House. His Excellency the Governor, who arrived at a quarter to five o'clock, accompanied by Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., stood at the head of the steps to receive the General, and the heads of the naval, military, and civil services and the members of the Legislative Council were also assembled at the head of the pier. His Excellency the Governor was dressed in plain clothes and wore his C.M.G. star. The naval and military officers were in undress uniform. Most of the British and foreign residents, with one or two ladies, and a large number of Chinese were likewise present on the pier, which was lined on one side three or four deep. Along the route up to Queen's road a large concourse of people had collected, all eager to catch a glimpse of the distinguished visitors.\n\nAt ten minutes to five the Victoria came alongside the Murray Pier, and the General with Mr. Holcombe landed. His Excellency the Governor, descending a few steps, said - \"General Grant, welcome to Hongkong.\" On entering the mat-shed, His Excellency presented General Grant to Major-General Donovan, Sir John Smale, Chief Justice; Hon. J. Russell, Acting Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting Colonial Treasurer; the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; and Mr. Tam King Sing, the Opium Farmer.\n\nThe Governor was then introduced by Mr. Holcombe to Mrs. Grant, Lieut. Colonel F. D. Grant, Hon. A. E. Borie, Dr. Keating, and Mr. J. R. Young. His Excellency next presented to the General the Hon. W. Keswick, Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Dr. Eitel, Inspector of Schools; Dr. Ayres, Colonial Surgeon; Mr. Ng Choy, Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, R.A., Colonel J. Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Mr. E. R. Belilios, Commander B. E. Corcoran, H.M.S. Lily; Lieutenant-Colonel C. R.

Muskett, and Mr. J. Bremner, R.N. The above gentlemen were introduced in the order named. His Excellency then gave his arm to Mrs. Grant, and the party proceeded along the pier, the guard of honour saluting as they did so, while the Band played. By some unexplainable oversight the usual British cheer was inadvertently omitted.\n\nThe front of the Victoria Recreation Club was decorated with bunting, and the premises of Messrs. McEwen, Frickel & Co. on the Praya were draped with flags. The private residence in Wyndham-street of Mr. W. H.

As you have said, I am about to leave the British and pass into the Chinese Empire. I have met no gentlemen so kind as the gentlemen of England. For this reception, more especially for the reception in Hongkong, I am grateful, as I know my friends and countrymen at home are grateful for the kindness that I have been honoured with during the last two years. I do not know that I can say anything better, nor anything which is nearer to my heart, now that I am leaving the British Empire, than to ask you all to unite in this sentiment: The perpetual friendship and alliance of the two great English-speaking nations of the world-England and America.\"\n\nThe General's toast was drunk by all the guests upstanding. Soon after, the ladies retired to the large drawing room, and at ten o'clock General Grant, the Governor, and the Aide-de-Camp, with Mrs Grant and Mrs Hennessy, proceeded to the vestibule, where every person on arrival was received and presented to the General by the Governor. These presentations lasted for more than an hour.\n\nThe guests on arriving were met in the hall by the Governor, and were presented to His Excellency by Major Palmer, A.D.C.; the Governor presented his guests to General Grant; Mr C. V. Creagh presented them to Mrs Hennessy, by whom they were introduced to Mrs Grant.\n\n## The Reception\n\nThe Government House grounds were brilliantly illuminated. On both sides of the numerous walks, slight bamboo frames had been erected, and cords, invisible to the eye unless carefully looked for, ran from one to the other all the way round, one cord three feet, another six, from the ground. Every four feet or so a Chinese lantern was suspended from the cords, these being fixed alternatingly on the high and low line. The effect was brilliant and beautiful and striking in the extreme, and the large company seemed greatly to prefer roaming about amid those thousand lights to staying in the Reception rooms. The Governor and Mrs Hennessy walked round frequently amid their numerous guests, His Excellency with Mrs Grant, and General Grant with Mrs Hennessy. The American Star, a large design in gas, on the north side of Government House, was greatly admired. The fairy-like beauty of the scene could scarcely have been enhanced. The lovely dresses of the ladies, the bright and varied uniforms of the officers of different nationalities present, the delightful music of the band, the merry laughter coming from various groups in different portions of the grounds, altogether made up a pleasing, lively and beautiful scene. It was not till nearly midnight that the company began to thin, and by a few minutes after that hour the guests had departed, the visitors were indoors, the lamps \"burnt low, and silence and darkness again assumed their sway. The gathering was in every way most successful, and every one seemed heartily to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and honour the General they had been invited to meet.\n\nThe following programme was performed by the band of Her Majesty's 37th Regt. (Inniskillings) under the direction of Herr Werner, during the course of the evening:\n| No. | Piece | Composer |\n|----|-------|----------|\n| 1 | Overture, Emma di Rosborgo | Meyerbeer |\n| 2 | Quadrille, American | Julien |\n| 3 | Selection, Beatrice di Tenda | Bellini |\n| 4 | Valse, London Society | Coote |\n| 5 | Selection, Irish Airs | Godfrey |\n| 6 | Polka, Lieb und Treu | Welcker |\n\nThe following officials and others were invited to the Reception:\n\nBishop Burdon, Bishop Raimondi, the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Hon.

Vega, His Excellency Major-General Donovan and Mrs. Donovan, Chief Justice Sir John Smale and Lady Smale, Commodore Smith, R.N., Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pollock, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. P.

Nordquist (Vega), Lieut. Hovgaard (Vega), Dr. Stuxberg (Vega), Lieut. Drummond, A.D.C. to the General, and Mr. C. V. Creagh, Acting A.D.C. to the Governor.\n\nThe following, to whom invitations had been sent, were unable to attend -- Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Burdon, Right Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Hon. W. Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

The prisoner was employed by Messrs Arthur and Co., whose manager here was Mr. Ogilvie, and he owed them a sum of about $900. Mr. Ogilvie in January last pressed for payment and the prisoner told him that although he had not the cash he would give a promissory note backed by a guarantee. Chan Yau Lok was mentioned as the surety and it was expressed, his willingness to sign. A promissory note was drawn up by Mr. Ogilvie and signed by the parties, but later on it was found to be worthless by the fact that it was unstamped. Mr. Ogilvie went to the office and told the prisoner that the note had no value and that a new one would have to be drawn up on duly stamped paper. The original document was returned to the prisoner, and a new promissory note was made out. The prisoner went to Chan Yau Lok to get it signed as his guarantor and returned with the signature. From what Mr. Ogilvie learned afterwards, however, it transpired that Chan Yau Lok denied the signature and disputed his liability. The prisoner was therefore charged with forging Chan Yau Lok's signature and uttering the forged note.\n\nEvidence was then taken.\n\nThe jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty and His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.\n\n22nd May.\n\nIN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. BEFORE HIS HONOUR J. ACKROYD AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nFIRE IN QUEEN'S ROAD WEST,\n\nTHE NATIONAL BANK OF CHINA, LIMITED, V. HIM KEE ALUM This was an action brought by the National Bank of China, Limited against Him Kee Alum, trader, of Foochow, to recover £2,460 4s. 5d. or its equivalent in dollars, due by the defendant on shares held by him in the plaintiff company, and for interest thereon at the rate of ten per cent.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., and Mr. H. E. Pollock (instructed by Mr. Wright, of Mr. V. H. Deacon's office) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. Bowley, of Mr. H. L. Deacon's office) represented the defendant.\n\nThe following special jury was empanelled: Messrs. H. M. Joseph, M. S. S. Sassoon, J. T. V. Vernon, J. B. Donghtyric, J. J. B. Heemskerk, B. C. Wilcox, and W. B. Loxley.\n\n(May 24, 1894.) DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-FOREIGN PARTY IN JAPAN,\n\nWe learn that a telegram has been received from Tokyo stating that in the House of Representatives the motion for the adoption of an address to the Emperor, of which the prominent feature was the Radical idea of the strict enforcement of the treaties, has been defeated.\n\nOn the morning of the 15th inst., about 6 o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 127, Queen's Road West, occupied by a second-hand clothes dealer. The outbreak centred on the ground floor, attributable, it is said, to the upsetting of the inevitable kerosine lamp, and the flames quickly spread to the upper stories. When the Brigade under Mr. H. Wodehouse and Deputy Superintendent Horspool arrived they found the whole place in a blaze. The fortunate circumstance that there was little or no breeze was somewhat discounted by the difficulty in getting water, as in the pre-treaty stipulations, which would preclude foreigners from residing outside the lists of the treaty ports and how difficulties in the way of travel in the interior.\n\nWith very praiseworthy briskness, however, the steam was got up on the engines and in a few minutes, some good streams of water from the half-an-hour's work sufficed to remove all danger as the coolies were playing on the flames. About the whole of No. 137 was destroyed and the adjoining houses suffered slight damage by fire and water. The contents of No. 137 were insured for $4,400 in the Hamburg and Bremen Fire Insurance Company, for which Messrs. Carlowitz & Co. are agents.\n\nTHE BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION REPORT.\n\nThe following report of the Superintendent of the Botanic Gardens, report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nHongkong, 7th May, 1894.\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to submit the annual report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nBOTANIC GARDENS.\n\nAfter the fire had been extinguished, the partition wall between No. 137 and No. 139 fell down, and six men and women, who had entered the basement to recover some of the damaged goods, were buried under the debris. The police at once set to work to rescue the unfortunate people and, strange to say, found that only one man was at all injured, and he not seriously. The others were almost unscathed. The injured man was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Thursday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse opened an enquiry into the circumstances of the fire at 137, Queen's Road West, which occurred on the 15th.\n\nMr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master) represented the fire insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.\n\nInspector Mackie is in charge of the case for the police.\n\nI am the wife of Wong A Pui, a dealer in fish at Chau Tai, Singapore. I reside in a house in Queen's Road West. I was at No. 137 on the morning of the 15th, sleeping in a room with my three children.\n\nA light which I saw through a hole in the floor of my room attracted my attention, and looking through it I saw a man with a piece of lighted paper in his hand standing over a heap of clothes on which he was pouring kerosine. A moment or two afterwards he applied the light to the clothes and they immediately blazed up.\n\nI shouted \"Burn everyone in the house!\" I got up about 2 o'clock. He made no reply and the other people in the house then ran out. I had been awake some time before I got up and had noticed a smell of kerosine. The hole through which I looked was about a foot long and an inch wide. I could see quite distinctly. I am not acquainted with the people on the ground floor.\n\nThe grounds, plant-houses, buildings, fences, walks and elections of plants have all been maintained in good order, and improvements have been effected in various directions.\n\nIMPROVEMENTS.\n\n1. An additional glass-roofed plant-house 50 feet long by 12 feet wide, situated in the nursery, has been completed. The woodwork has been chiefly made and fitted by our carpenter who is on the staff.\n\n2. Certain walks in the Botanical and Government House Gardens have been concreted. These additions now finish all that is needed in this kind of walk formation.\n\n3. Extensions have been made to rockeries where circumstances rendered these necessary.\n\nLAWNS.\n\nTowards the end of the summer the moths and caterpillars mentioned in paragraph No. 14 of my last report again appeared, but having learnt by past experience the habits of these pests their advent was anticipated, and on their first appearance remedies for their destruction were at once applied and maintained at regular intervals until the termination of their season of activity. By these means the lawns were preserved from injury.\n\nDr. A. Gunther, F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History), to whom I sent specimens of the larvæ, chrysalids, and moths for determination, has very kindly informed me that its name is Thialleta signifera (Walk.). The chief injury to the grass is caused by this species, but another one, which appears simultaneously with the Thialleta is also responsible for some damage.\n\nThis one Dr. Günther has also determined from specimens which I sent. It is Pharazia bicarnea (Wlk.).\n\n6. Children continue to run over places where grass should be, but which they have long ago worn away. As the attendants and police are unable to prevent this, it would be advisable to provide low iron fences on the margins of walks where children chiefly congregate, of sufficient height to prevent the children leaving the walks.\n\nMr. Pollok opened the case by reading the pleadings filed and the answer. From these it appeared that when Messrs. Russell and Co. failed the firm was indebted to the defendant for a sum of $10,000 and defendant was indebted to them for $50,000. Besides carrying on their ordinary business as merchants at Foochow, however, Messrs. Russell and Company were the agents for the plaintiff bank, and the plaintiff bank tried to induce the defendant to acknowledge that he was indebted to it for $50,000 instead of to Messrs. Russell and Co. The defendant, however, would not recognise this liability at all. Towards the end of 1891 the defendant was desirous of selling all his shares to Mr. Weeks, a broker at Foochow. Mr. Weeks asked for a transfer of the shares and expressed his willingness to pay any outstanding claims. The bank claimed a lien on the shares and refused to allow the transfer until the $50,000 alleged to be due was paid.\n\nMr. Francis on these pleadings asked for judgment for the full amount claimed. Even supposing all the facts alleged were admitted, he submitted that there was no equitable defence. The only defence really set up was that the bank refused to allow a transfer of the shares, but that was no ground of defence in this case, but only a possible case of action for damages.\n\nMr. Robinson then addressed the Court at great length, first stating that he had not anticipated that a legal point would have been raised until the whole of the case had been laid before the Court and the verdict of the jury obtained.\n\nWodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West.\n\nAt the Magistracy, on Saturday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West. Mr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Jobson, Stokes and Master) appeared for the insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co. Mr. J. F. Reece represented the shopkeeper.\n\nP.C. McEwen said that when he forced his way into the shop on the alarm being given he found a quilt on the counter in flames, but the fire spread up the side of the wall and the whole place was eventually destroyed.\n\nThe premises were released.\n\nUltimately the case was adjourned until the next day.\n\nPittosporum tobira on the terrace below the fountain died during the year. This caused temporary incompleteness in the arrangement, but new plants have been put in the place of those which died.\n\nMay 24, 1894.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\nThe Hon. T. H. Whitehead leaves to-day by the Empress of Japan.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Tuesday before Commander W. C. H. Hastings a coolie was fined $75, with the option of three months' imprisonment, for having in his possession 29 taels of opium.\n\nThe plague has during the past week continued to claim 30 or 40 victims daily, notwithstanding the heavy rains and the measures which have been taken by the authorities to mitigate the disease. There are indications now, however, that the plague is becoming less virulent, and the returns show a diminution in the number of fatal cases.\n\nH.E. Sir William and Lady Robinson returned to the colony on the 15th inst. after a very enjoyable sojourn in Japan.\n\nMr. Cyril Platt, Private Secretary to His Excellency, has left for Shanghai in order to catch the homeward French mail and thereby avoid the difficulties of booking from Hongkong. Mr. Platt is going home on six months' leave, and during his absence the duties of Private Secretary will be discharged by Capt. Sterling, A.D.C.\n\nIn the fire which occurred near the new reservoir for the Taikoo Sugar Refinery on the 13th inst. even large matsheds were destroyed. A coolie who was endeavouring to save his property was rather seriously burnt about the hands and face and was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nOur Anjer correspondent writes:-On the night of the 2nd inst. the German ship Christine, from Philadelphia to Hyogo, took the ground at Old Anjer and remained fast for three hours, without any further assistance. The ship apparently made no water, and the captain decided on proceeding on his voyage.\n\nOn Thursday morning a large stone was seen on the tram line as the motor car was descending.\n\nThe breaksman gave the signal to stop the engine and at the same time let go the break. The stone was removed and the break having been unscrewed the car resumed its journey. There was only a momentary delay, and the next car left punctually at its proper time, 12:30.\n\nA meeting of the Odd Volumes\" was held on Friday night, at which a good number of members were present.\n\nMr. J. Stuart Harrison delivered a very interesting lecture on \"The Telephone,\" illustrated by diagrams and practical illustrations.\n\nAt the Magistracy on the 15th inst. A. H. C. Rao, a telegraph clerk employed at the Kowloon Police Station, was fined $10 for removing certain property from his house, which the Supreme Court bailiff had seized under a distress warrant for rent.\n\nThe fine was paid.\n\nOn Saturday evening a smoking concert was given in the Theatre by Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew, assisted by several amateurs. It was decided to commence the tournament on June 1st and the first round will be completed by July 31st. The second round will then commence and the entire tournament will conclude on September 30th.\n\nA set of rules regulating the competition were passed and a committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Humphreys, T. H. Reid, and H. E. Pollock was appointed to make the necessary arrangements.\n\nMr. Quong Tart, who arrived from Sydney by the Menmuir, had quite an enthusiastic send-off when the vessel left. The poop was gaily decorated with flags, etc., and the city band was present.\n\nSir George Dibbs, the Premier of New South Wales, was amongst those who attended to wish the traveller bon voyage, and in responding to the toast of prosperity to New South Wales, with which his name was coupled, he remarked that if Mr. Tart succeeded in establishing the wool trade between the two countries, as he was about to try and do, he should have a statue erected in his honour 10ft. high.\n\nIn replying to the toast of his health, Mr. Tart said that he would do his best to further the interests of the wool trade while he was away.\n\nThe health of Captain Craig, the popular commander of the Menmuir, was also honoured.\n\nTart is accompanied by Mrs. Quong Tart and family, and the principal object of his voyage is to pay a visit to his mother, who resides near Mono.\n\nA correspondent writes:-I see in a Trinidad paper which has just reached me a report of a meeting of the Legislative Council, at which was read a letter from Mr. Osbert Chadwick on the water supply and sanitation of Port-of-Spain.\n\nIt is notified that on Friday, the day appointed for the celebration of Her Majesty's birth, His Excellency the Governor will hold a levée at Government House from 12 to 1 p.m.\n\nThe steamer Dvochis, which arrived on Monday from Saigon, reports that the steamers Bengice, Bucephalus, Bantam, Holstein, Decima, and Jacobs were lying in quarantine at Cape Vin.\n\nMr. H. P. Tooker has been appointed Acting Director of Public Works during the absence on leave of Mr. W. Chatham.\n\nWe understand that the Hon. J. B. Stewart Imokhart, who was elected Chairman of the Victoria Recreation Club for the ensuing year, has declined the honour.\n\nA meeting of chess-players was held on the 15th inst. at Bank Buildings in connection with the recently formed Club, for the purpose of arranging a tournament.\n\nMr. H. E. Pollock presided.\n\nThere were 729 visitors to the City Hall Museum last week, of whom 93 were Europeans.\n\nEarly on Monday morning a junk was capsized at Murray Pier in a squall. No lives were lost.\n\nThe lung Wah Hospital and its temporary branch at the Glassworks have been connected with the telephone system.\n\nFor some time past the villagers of Yau Ma Tei and Yaumati have brought reports of devourings by two tigers and these grew so numerous that at length a party headed by some European sportsmen, armed with a few rifles and miscellaneous weapons, set off in search of the other tigers still supposed to infest the district.\n\nWell, the tigers were tracked to their lair in a rare and they were wide enough not to get choked at two miles from the boundary and shot.\n\nSome trouble has been given by a demonstration of native prejudice and ignorance, this on Saturday and day last giving rise to disturbances in the Pakwanshan district.\n\nThe Government mitigated the trouble by granting permission to place the patients in a hospital on shore under Chinese direction.\n\nOur Tientsin contemporary gives the following particulars:-\n\nMr. James Cantlie, F.R.C.S. Eng., of Hongkong, with Mrs. Cantlie, and Mr. Ernest L. C. Berger, arrived in Tientsin on Wednesday, 9th inst., and left the following morning for Peking and the Great Wall.\n\nThe Glenugle arrived at Woosung on the 13th inst., 39 days from London, including all stoppages. She will be the first steamer this season to lead tea for New York, via the Suez Canal.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS.\n\nAn order has been sent to Europe for two iron towers for the Manila cathedral to replace the stone ones destroyed in the last great earthquake.\n\nThe animals at the Pokfulam Dairy Farm are now quite free from the pleuro which recently broke out there, and only one animal, which is segregated at a distance, is now under treatment.\n\nThe cattle are being inspected by Mr. C. Vivian Ladds, Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, and already 120 have been treated, generally with complete success.\n\nThe annual general meeting of A. S. Watson and Co., Limited, was held on the 19th, the report and accounts being passed without discussion.\n\nOn the 22nd the general meeting of the Humphras Estate and Finance Company, Limited, was held.\n\nMrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew are still performing at the City Hall Theatre and will leave for San Francisco next week.\n\nI am quite satisfied that the separate system of drainage and nothing else is the cause of the plague.

Two stands had been erected close to the respective statues, and before eleven o'clock these were filled with a very representative gathering. The day opened beautifully fine, the sun shining from a cloudless sky while an invigorating, cool breeze had the effect of tempering the atmosphere. Among the many who were present were the Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett (Chairman of the Coronation Committee), the Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, Hon. Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Mr. H. N. Mody, Mr. J. R. M. Smith, Hon. Captain Badeley, Hon.

The Governor was expected about ten o'clock and before that hour all the troops had been placed in their positions, and were in readiness for the arrival of His Excellency. The greatest possible interest was manifested in the proceedings by the community, and crowds were pressing in every direction with the idea of obtaining a glimpse. Some were fortunate enough to have a view, but hundreds were unable to see at all. All the places of advantage were taken, and numbers of people witnessed the ceremony from the verandahs of the buildings opposite.\n\nThe troops included the massed bands, 100 men of the Royal Navy, 100 men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, 90 files of the Royal Artillery, 40 files of the H.K.S.B. Royal Garrison Artillery, 70 files of the Royal Engineers, 90 files of The Buffs, 40 files of the 105th Mahratta Light Infantry and 40 files of the 13th Rajputs. There were also Colour parties of The Buffs, Mahrattas and Rajputs—all the units in Hongkong being thus represented. A company of the Buffs was formed round the Statue of Queen Victoria, where the 13th Rajputs surrounded on three sides the Statue of Queen Alexandra. Facing it, on the opposite side of the road, were the 105th Mahrattas, with the massed band behind. Another company of the Buffs was stationed at the side of the central figure of the Royal group, while on the other side, a good muster of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps were drawn up in line. Two companies of the R.G.A. were stationed at the entrance to the square at the Des Voeux Road end, while another body of the same regiment formed up on the Praya near the north end of Statue Square in readiness to fire the Royal Salute. A detachment of the Royal Engineers mounted guard around the Statue of the Princess of Wales. The \"tout ensemble\" formed a brilliant spectacular display, of which Hongkong may well be proud.

There is only one European who earns a precarious living, and not enough work for another one. The most of the so-called Pilots are Chinese who charge the ridiculous sum of five dollars, but all they do is to show the Captain where to go. These men have 'references' which are, at the best, doubtful. An important Naval port like that ought to have Government Pilots on a fixed salary and pension. Japanese and other ships come in and go out as they please. This should not be allowed in Japan.\n\nSurely...\n\nSuppose we had trouble with Japan, which is not at all unlikely, they would get to know everything from the Chinese.\n\nThey have been known to say that they could take Hong Kong any time they liked, which is quite likely. A short time ago I wrote to Commander Brockrath, the Harbourmaster, asking him if a British Pilot was required, and if so, would he consider my application.
