        "content_text": "J\n\nit. I identified it as the remains of the late Captain Da Costa. I myself took a walk on Sunday evening. I went in a westerly direction from Stanley towards Wong-ma-kok.** My way lay along the beach. I must have been within 800 or 900 yards from the spot where the spear-heads were found above referred to. I did not then see anything to attract my attention, except that I observed two large boats with boarding-nettings up. They appeared to keep aloof from the other small boats about. The Stanley people had noticed these two boats, and were at a loss to account for their appearance there.\n\n(6)\n\nTHOMAS MACDONNELL, Lieutenant Ceylon Rifle Regiment.\n\nERM-AYAK, Wong-I, was table-boy to the late Captain Da Costa. Unimportant—knows nothing.]\n\n(7)\n\nJUNG ACFORT, groom—I was horsekeeper to the late Captain Da Costa. I accompanied Dr Tweddell on Sunday night to look for my master. I visited the village of Wong-ma-kok. On returning from said village, when about as far as the Stanley barracks are from the village of Stanley, I picked up a three-pronged spear. I cannot say that it had marks of blood on it. I did not notice that the turf was stained with blood near where this spearhead was found. The night was dark. I do not think that cries of distress could have been heard from the spot by the villagers. I have lived with the late Captain Da Costa for three months. I have never been in the village of Wong-ma-kok before Sunday last.\n\n(8)\n\n3d March, 1849.\n\nCHARLES MAY Sworn, a Superintendent of Police. Having received intelligence on Monday morning the 25th of February, that Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer were missing from the quarters at Stanley, I proceeded thither with a party of Police and Soldiers accompanied by Mr Caldwell. A soldier of the Ceylon Rifles mentioned that he had seen some drops of blood on a footpath. I accompanied him and perceived the blood distinctly on a path which I subsequently found led from the village of Wong-ma-kok to a fishing hut on the west side of the peninsula. I requested Assistant Superintendent Caldwell to trace the path downward, and I proceeded upward, and early observed the track of blood in single drops at average intervals of a yard apart for above 400 yards—in three or four places three or four drops were close together. The track of blood ended where the path entered between two low stone walls, leading to, and about 100 yards from the village. I searched carefully right and left, and in the path, but saw no blood. I then proceeded through the village, and at the east corner perceived several drops of blood on a stone. A path continued by this stone to the place where two spear heads were stated to me to have been found; this was about 200 yards on the east side of the village. For about 100 yards along this path near to the village there is a thick jungle, and a fire was then burning from the jungle to about thirty yards of the spot where the spear heads were found, and extended backward for more than one mile. I searched on each side the path and round about where the spear heads were found, but discovered no traces of blood, or of a struggle. Before I had entered the village I saw a man on the hill above, to whom I beckoned, and he came to me. I took him into custody, and ascertained his name to be Lo-asee-zoong. I examined his person and found a wound on the right side of the head—such a wound as would be caused by a heavy blow from a stick; had been recently inflicted, as upon pressing it, blood oozed out. On the string or band fastening up his trousers [string produced] I saw several marks of blood; also several spots of blood on his ankles, near the heels. He represented, by words and action, that this wound was occasioned by his falling on a stone. I and Mr Caldwell searched the village, and in three houses we saw wearing apparel hanging up, as if recently washed; they were scarcely dry. A piece of cloth used as a towel was hanging up in the house at the east corner; I saw spots of blood upon it, and evident signs of blood having been nearly washed out.\n\nThe next morning I landed at the fishing-hut accompanied by the Chief Magistrate Mr Hillier. We saw the lowest drop of blood on the footpath before mentioned, and examined another path diverging to the left. On this path I saw three drops of blood at some distance apart: the path led to a cave formed by large rocks resting on each other, in which several bundles of bedding and clothing, and a box containing clothing and some silver ornaments were found by me. A bundle containing clothing was found by Mr Hillier on the top of the rocks; and upon Police Constable Crevy examining it, a jacket on which were visible several marks of blood was found. I then proceeded up the path leading to the village before mentioned, and on which, about 90 yards in length, the track of blood was clearly seen. A very minute examination was made, and in front of the houses in the village three spots of blood were seen by me; and in the path leading from the village to the place where the spears were found I saw several drops of blood. I received information that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, and upon proceeding there, found the spot to be about 300 yards from the fishing-hut; the path diverging from the path leading to the village, led by the place. There were large marks of blood in four or five places, as if a body had lain there some time, and on one prominent point of rock, there were marks of a body being dragged over.\n\nThe party were about leaving the place, having previously had a search made by means of boat-hooks in the sea near, when a broken spear found at the village fell from the Police-boat into the water: the boatmen were endeavoring to recover this, when the body of Mr Da Costa came to the surface and was brought ashore. When I arrived at Stanley on the morning of Monday the 26th February, three persons had been apprehended, and upon being questioned through the interpretation of Mr Caldwell, the first examined, Lo-akow, stated, that he lived in the village of Wong-ma-kok with his father; that he was at home the previous day. He did not see any Europeans, or any strangers in the village. I showed him some spears and spear-heads which had been found, and some broken sticks or handles. He identified a spear with a single blade as belonging to Tay-apo, but that it was kept in his father's house, a three-pronged spear as belonging to Chea-asam, who resided in the village, and a knife or clipper as belonging to Chea-thing.\n\nThe second prisoner, Lo-yet-show, stated, he lived in the village, but was from home fishing until dark; he did not see any Europeans or strangers that day near the village. He said the two spears exhibited to him were the property of Chea-asam, the knife or copper the property of Chea-apo, and the spear-ends to belong to Chow-asam.\n\nOne we found a towel on which were marks of blood, but it had been washed; there were several pieces of wet clothing found in one or two houses. On arriving at the village I found Lo-asee in custody of Mr May. I observed a wound on the right side of his head, which, on being questioned by me at the request of Mr May, he stated he received in falling upon a stone on the hill. The following day, having been informed that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, I went with the Chief Magistrate and Mr May, and saw four or five spots† of blood on some rocks a short distance from the water. We made strict search, both on shore and in the water by means of boat-hooks, but discovered nothing. As we were about embarking, a portion of a bamboo pike on being passed into the boat fell into the water, and the man in the bows with a boat-hook trying to recover it, hooked up something white. I desired him to lift it up higher, and on his doing so I found it was the body of Captain Da Costa; I immediately called out. The swell being rather high, I went a short way into the water to secure the body; a rope was passed at it, and it was taken out of the water. I was requested by Mr May to question two boys and an old man whom we found in custody at the barracks on the morning of the 26th; the two former gave different statements as to whom certain spears and spear-heads, which were shown them, belonged. They all three denied having seen any Europeans in their village on the 25th.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, I felt for his watch, but it was not on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers. On Monday, when I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, I observed that a fire was raging immediately behind the village. A spot was pointed out to me where some spear-heads were found a short distance from the village; the grass around was on fire. When I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, Mr May had an old man in custody, named Lo-Assee; he had a cut on his head, which he said he received in falling against a stone. I saw marks of blood on his waist-band, and also on his neck. The five men seized in the fishing-hut or boat might have seen the body of Captain Da Costa thrown into the water from their boat, but I think not. If it had been done in the day time, but I think not. If it had been done in the night time.\n\nI acted as Interpreter to Mr May when he questioned several prisoners that had been seized on Sunday at the village. I have heard the statement made by Mr May, and fully corroborate it, as to the questions put, and answers given by the Chinese.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nMR CALDWELL further states, that the following prisoners had been seized before his arrival at Stanley, and were landed eventually to the Police,—Lo-akow, Lo-yet-show, Chui-assey, Lo-assee alias Lo-yang-ghing. The following five men were seized in a fishing-hut near Wong-ma-kok,—Cauchi fook, Chuw-fook-tong, Cheng-keen-ee, Chan-we-tong, Chun-no-fat, Lo-lee-shi; the wife of Chai-apo, was brought into Victoria on Thursday night last by Police Constable Mars; Woog-sannie was brought into Victoria yesterday (Friday) by an Indian Constable.\n\n(12)\n\nLO-YANG-SHING alias Lo-asse, is arraigned as a prisoner.\n\n(Mr Caldwell on the request of the Jurymen is sworn in as Interpreter.\n\nThe nature of the preceding depositions are explained to him. He is duly cautioned, being informed that whatever he may say, it may be taken down in writing, and used as evidence against him at any future time.] He now states,—I am a native of Namchong, in Kwang-sheen. I am a husbandman, and have resided for many years in the village of Wong-ma-kok, on the island of Hongkong. On the 3d day of this month (corresponding with our Sunday the 25th February,) two English Officers came to the village of Wong-ma-kok about dark. They went into my house; myself was there, my wife was cooking, and my daughter-in-law was keeping the door up. One of the officers, the shorter one of the two, embraced my daughter-in-law, made motions with my hand for him to desist. The girl cried out; my wife went up and pulled the officer away. I also begged them to go away, when the tall officer struck me with a walking-stick on the head—a common stick. [produces a cicatrix on the right side of the head, which seems to be the result of the blow inflicted.] The villagers hearing the cries of my daughter-in-law, came in, and tried to get the officers away. As the villagers came into my house, they were struck by the officers. My head at this time was bleeding; blood came into my eyes; I could not see. A villager standing next door to me, named Chui-apo, with six of his men, came in; they armed themselves with spears; a conflict ensued between these men and the English officers. When it was dark. I could not see the issue of the encounter. The disturbance arose principally because Chui-apo and his men would not submit to the treatment displayed towards my daughter-in-law.\n\nI did not interfere. I think that was wrong. The names of Chui-apo's men are as follows,—Chow-ping, a native of Kwai-shien. Chui-abing, native of Nautow, Cheng-asam, from Kweishen, Chui-assey alias Chung-kek-sing of [illegible]. The names of the others I do not know. Chui-apo has lived in the village for 1 year; he was a sailor, and returned to his native place, San-chuen in Kwei-skeen. Hoy-yeen-ping has been in the village but one month; he has a license from the Government to make gunpowder there. Some of the others have been residents of the village for two or three years. They did not till the ground. They eat grass, and sometimes go out fishing. They are not regularly employed by Chui-apo. Seven or eight hundred took part in the scuffle with the English officers. It first began in my house; 5 or 6 men first entered. Their names I have given before. I do not know the others by name. The English officers did not fall in my house, but they were wounded there. I did not see any blood on the ground in my house. The officers rushed out of the house, but were pursued by the assailants. The name of my daughter-in-law is Lo-chow-sing; she is aged 18 years. She was taken from the village on Sunday night—at all events I have not seen her since. The officers used to visit the village usually. I never knew them to converse with my daughter-in-law during any of these visits. The two men on Sunday, before coming into my house, had entered Chui-apo's, where they had interfered with women, but they were driven out. In the house, during the struggle, the tall English officer wrested a spear from Chui-apo, knocked him down, and kicked him. In aiming a blow at Chui-apo, the spear broke. I do not know whether Chui-apo was wounded.\n\nI can identify the spear that was seen, who had been away from the village fishing for the day. [Several spears are then shown to the prisoner, and he identifies the broken one.] He identified a broken stick which he said belonged to Chow-chong, who broke it in beating a cow shortly after it had calved; he accounted for several spots of blood upon the handle from the latter circumstance.\n\nThe third prisoner, Chuy-see, said he foretold good and bad weather; he had been at the village of Wong-ma-kok lying with the Lo family about one month; he was in the house all day, and saw no Europeans or strangers. The village of Wong-ma-kok is situated on a level space of about five acres, near the top of the peninsula between Stanley and Ty-tam bay. There are four families living there, the heads of which are named respectively, Chou-sheeng, Tau-agar, Tai-apo, and Lo-see. These latter particulars I ascertain from the Assessment Return for Police Rate. I have compared the head of a spear found on the east side of the village by Police Constable Marshall, with the handle of a spear found by Lieutenant Maxwell 95th Regiment, and find the broken parts to correspond; on the handle there are marks of blood.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, there was not any watch on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL being sworn, states.—I am a Lieutenant in H. M. 95th Regiment. On Tuesday last, the 27th February, I visited Wong-ma-kok. In the village I found the shaft of a spear, apparently had recently broken. I found it thrust into a bundle of hay. The shaft now produced is the one I found; it bore marks of blood.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL, 95th Regiment.\n\n(10)\n\nwas found by the party of Dr Tweddell, a 3-pronged spear.] it was after the spear was broke that the officers shed out. When I was wounded, my wife shouted out, \"Help, help. save my life.\" The villagers then rushed in, but they did not come armed; they pulled the officers out, and in attempting to do so, they were struck with sticks. The villagers then got spears. The officers did not make any resistance before the conflict ensued and before the spear was broken to escape. In the house of Chui-apo there were two women, one aged 16, a married girl, daughter-in-law of Chui-apo; the other was an old woman his wife. I overheard the result of the conflict, nor do I know what has become of the officers. The Stanley officers set fire to the grass. Late on Sunday a party of officers and men came to the village and enquired what had become of the two officers. I replied that they had been interfering, and a disturbance had taken place, but that I did not know where they had gone to.\" I suspected that the two English officers had been killed, from the way they were fighting, but I was afraid to say so to those that came in search. My eldest son was outside my house during the conflict; he afterwards returned, but did not say anything. I have not had communication, nor yet seen any of the villagers who took part in the conflict.\n\n(13)\n\nLo-yang-sing, after having been duly cautioned in a similar manner to the last deponent, states,—I am a son of the last deponent, and reside at the village of Wong-ma-kok. On Sunday last, I remember two English officers coming to the village; at the time I was not in my father's house, having out-door occupation. I saw them going into several houses looking after women, and into my father's house amongst the rest. On my entering my father's house, I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; my father interfered, and desired him to desist. He would not; my father tried to pull him away, but could not. The villagers then came in; they were not called, they came of their own accord. They were then armed with spears and knives. They fought with the officers in the house. A spear was wrested from Chui-apo by the tall officer. I did not see any wound inflicted by this officer. I saw him aim a blow at one of the villagers.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn, states,—I am Assistant Superintendent of Police. On the morning of the 26th ultimo (Monday), in consequence of information received at the Station that two officers were missing from Stanley, I accompanied Mr May to that place for the purpose of making search. One of the men of the Rifles having stated that he had observed spots of blood on a footpath, he took us to it. I was requested by Mr May to trace westward, that is down the hill towards Stanley bay. I observed single spots of blood along the footpath, about the distance of three and four feet apart. In some places several spots were together. I traced the blood to within about 50 yards from a fishing-hut, and about 100 yards from the water. I went to the hut, which I examined. I found Chinese there, whom I took into custody and sent to the barracks in charge of some of the Rifles. I afterwards examined a sampan in the water close to the fishing-hut. I examined it, but found nothing suspicious about her. I then retraced the footpath, and observed the single spots of blood all the way to within a short distance of the village of Wong-ma-kok. I searched the houses with Mr May. In one house I had been frequently at the village.\n\nQuery—Swears—Ed.C.M.\n\n11\n\naway, saying it was improper for them as other relatives with the villagers.

A vista disto cahiram os soldados sobre a dita embarcação, e como della mostrassem resistencia fazendo fogo, os soldados o fizeram tambem sobre elles; de que resultou cahir ferido no mar o Li-Apao e morreu affogado. E tendo andado os soldados em busca do corpo não o puderam encontrar. O Ko-Ahon foi apanhado e levado para Cantão para ser examinado; e como se achava gravemente ferido com arma cortante, foi mandado curar-se.

Que o Governador Portuguez Amaral, em vida tinha obrado crueldades; que fóra das portas do campo tinha aberto estradas, destruindo e arrasando sepulturas; pelo que tanto os de dentro, como os de fóra lhe conceberam odio. Que Amaral destruio não só as sepulturas pertencentes ao declarante; mas tambem as de Sen-Chi-Leong e Li-Apao. Por essa rasão intentaram elles assassinar o Amaral, para satisfazerem o seu odio. Em consequencia fizeram a consulta, e elle declarante, e Li-Apao foram apontados para executores do plano; Sen-Chi-Leong, os dois por appellido Chou, e um por appellido Cheu, que elles puderam aggregar, para os coadjuvarem em fazer barreira (aos que quizessem accudir). Que aos 5a. da 7a. Lua tendo elles ouvido dizer fisicamente, que Amaral sahiria ao passeio á Porta do Cerco, foram lá fazer espera. Pela tarde tendo o Amaral passado por ali a cavallo, Sen-Chi-Leong trazendo na mão um chapeo de chuva fechado em que tinha escondida no cabo uma espada afiada, appresentando-se disfarçadamente como quem queria fazer queixa, dizendo em alta voz, que representava contra injustiças; e no momento que o Amaral estendia a mão para receber o requerimento, Sen-Chi-Leong puxou logo pela espada, e lhe foi dando cutiladas no braço, até que com dores veio do cavallo abaixo, e o dito Sen-Chi-Leong lhe cortou logo a cabeça, e conjuntamente com o declarante e outros, safou-se pela Porta do Cerco, e depois de ter feito libações aos manes dos seus antepassados, se dispersaram, seguindo cada qual o seu caminho. Que ouvindo depois, que andavam em diligencias para prender os assassinos, elle declarante e Li-Apao consultaram em tomar uma embarcação, e fugir para Hu-Nan. Ali então foram inesperadamente perseguidos pelo guia e soldados, até a villa de Lochang, onde Li-Apao na occasião que elles estavam fazendo resistencia aos soldados, que iam sobre a embarcação, ficou ferido de um tiro, e cahio ao mar, onde morreu afogado; e elle declarante, que estava tambem defendendo-se com espada contra os soldados, que iam saltar na embarcação, foi gravemente ferido, e foi preso e conduzido.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nnative district towards the end of last year, for the purpose of organizing its population against us.\n\nChan-tsze-tin, who was specially invested with the charge of stopping our supplies, distributed his pickets, as far as I can gather, along the communications between Cowloon and the district city of San-on, on the left bank of the Canton river near its mouth. His success, as director of the blockade, has not been very brilliant, and his braves, in three instances at least, have been recently involved in collision with the coast population, so serious as abundantly to occupy the force at the disposal of the district authorities. It is remarkable that on two of these occasions the recusants threatened the braves that they would surrender them to the British Government.\n\nA rough map, which will be completed to-morrow, will show your Excellency the position of the different localities referred to in this Memorandum.\n\nThe correspondence establishes, beyond doubt, that the San-on Committee, under authority, and in some cases at the dictation of the Canton Central Committee, have been parties to almost every atrocity with which we have been menaced by report, or of endeavour to perpetrate which we have been apprised.\n\nThe great junk attack which was expected, belonged to the forces of the Heung-shan and Shun-tak districts; and we find no allusion to undertakings on so grand a scale. Minor expeditions, most likely with incendiary intent, are projected. There are two allusions to the great poisoning case, but not as an event in which the San-on people took any immediate part. The accused, Cheung-alam, is a native of Heung-shan; and supposing him guilty, the San-on Committee would by no means, as a matter of course, have been advised of his design. There is no great evidence of its concert, in any measure, with jurisdiction beyond the limits of San-on.\n\nIt is clearly made out, however, that incendiary plots and assassinations were devised by this San-on Committee; attempted, and, as they believe, effected by their agents, who, when successful, were rewarded either by the San-on Committee, or by the Chief Committee of Canton. Attempts known to us to have been made without success, to fire buildings and steamers, are spoken of, both before and after the fact. The firing of Mr. Duddell's store, and the seizure of the \"Queen\" steamer, are matters of great gratulation; so, on one occasion, is the kidnapping of foreigners, and that some must have been assassinated there can be little doubt; mention being made of more than one transmission of heads to Canton, and of the disputes regarding the amount of remuneration to be awarded the assassin.\n\nThe victims (unless corpses have been disinterred for the sake of their heads) we must assume to have been Portuguese or Manilla men, as no member of the British or American community has, to our knowledge, been missing. That Yeh, whose proclamations of reward for British subjects, dead or alive, fell into our hands very soon after the beginning of these troubles, is consulted regarding the disposal of captives, is clear from allusion to his instructions regarding the imprisonment of the eleven or twelve men surrendered to the San-on Committee by pirates.\n\nOn the expectation that we are about to treat for peace, Yeh has directed his subordinates to abstain from all more seriously aggressive measures, and to confine themselves to the stoppage of supplies. My belief is, that the expenses of his militia drive him to accept this hypothesis, and that he is glad to find an excuse for disbanding a portion of his troublesome allies.\n\nThe whole story must satisfy every one of the expediency of all precautions that have yet been taken, no less than, in my humble opinion, of the necessity of guarding against any relaxation of vigilance. The late expedition to Nam-tan will do much to check the activity of our zealous neighbour, Chan-kwei-tzih, but it would be unwise to forget the reflection of his brother, that \"when the barbarians are tired of watching, a blow may be struck with certainty.\"\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \n**THOMAS WADE**  \nChinese Secretary.\n\n## 3\n\n### Inclosure 2\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih.**\n\n(Translation.)\n\nNight of the 21st January. [AFTER describing the route from one station to another, and applying for arms, &c., he proceeds: -]\n\nI hear from some of the people of the place (Sha-tin or Cowloon) who have come back from Victoria, that the English barbarians are in very great perplexity, that a proclamation is issued every day, and three sets of regulations come out in two days. People out at night are taken up in a haste, and let go in a hurry; no one is allowed out after 8 o'clock; the shops forced to take out tickets at sixteen dollars each; the heads of establishments paying five dollars and the partners three dollars, and that these are changed every few days. They say, too, that vessels passing to and fro between Cowloon and Victoria are not searched. A flour bakery had poisoned several English devils, and had been closed; upwards of forty people imprisoned in consequence.\n\nThe Heung-shan, San-on, and Tung-kun people in business at Hong Kong were in great alarm, and thinking of returning home, but the Nam-hoi, Pun-yu, and Shun-tek men had the perverseness not to be alarmed; so far from it, they laughed at those of Heung-shan, San-on, and Tung-kun districts for standing in awe of their mandarins and gentry.\n\nIt is also stated that more passage-boats come from Kong-mun to Hong Kong than before, and that boats still go and come between it and Macao and Canton, and that supplies flow in from Kwei-shin, Hoi-fung, and Luk-fung. A Kwei-shin man, by name Wong, of Ha-ching (Oyster Bay), has started a lorcha (or some such vessel), which carries 100 bullocks or more every trip. A \"tsung\" (the Peninsular and Oriental Company's compradore) of the bullock shambles is a traitor in chief. Since the commencement of this business, he has (or they have) opened a number of devil shops. Several of the Nam-hoi, Shun-tek, Huru-chan, and Chin-chan people are also making large profits. Steps should, I think, be taken to bring them to justice, in order to the prevention of the like for the time to come.\n\nI shall go to Cowloon to-morrow, &c.\n\n**Note.-** Nam-hoi and Pun-yu are the districts on the conterminous boundaries of which stands Canton. Shun-tek is a little lower down the river, on the west side, as Tung-kun is on the east, San-on lies east of the mouth, as Heung-shan lies west.\n\n### Inclosure 3\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih.**\n\n(Translation.)\n\nFebruary 5.\n\nON the 2nd February, I received the 200 taels for the men's pay. The ten braves from Kin-ton are arrived and have been placed on my strength. The expedition the braves had been directed to make across the water on the 31st January, did not succeed. On the 3rd, therefore, I returned to the camp (at Sha-tin), and, on consideration, postponed the attempt for a few days. It appears that the English barbarians are much more on the alert; they fire guns at intervals during the night to keep up their spirits. Steamers and other vessels, to the number of twenty, small and great, cruize day and night without cessation. In every devil hong is stationed a guard of devil soldiers; at sunset they make ready their cannon with great care. The police devils, in bands of eighteen, patrol, and when they come to a dangerous place they form into large bodies and fire, before they venture to proceed.\n\nThe Malays and Indian troops that arrived a few days since drill incessantly. Such being the doubt and alarm of the English rebels, we must wait till they tire a little of watching, and a blow will then be sure.\n\nAt midnight, on the 4th February, I sent ten braves to patrol along the...  \n\nPage 407",

        "content_text": "# Hung-ham Pass of Cowloon; they found a number of small vessels crossing with vegetables to Victoria. At the sight of the braves their crews took to the water and escaped, and they only caught two men, Wong-ang and Li-muk-yeung. They were allowed to plunder the boats of their entire cargo of vegetables and other things. They also took a devil's boat and two traitorous Chinese rowing therein; three others escaped, and the boat was taken into Cowloon, and left in charge of the Tipo (the head borough); the oars, anchors, &c., were brought in to the camp. I have now sent the braves with the two traitorous Chinese and these articles to you, and request you will have the affair judicially looked into and settled.\n\nOn the 2nd, at Lik-yun-tai-wei, a man named Wong-tai-muk, dressed in devil clothes and boots, with a devil fowling-piece in his hand, speaking the devil language fluently, and also Chinese of the Heung-shan dialect,* came down the hill side shooting and up to the tents. His appearance being in every way suspicious, he was seized by the braves and, on being questioned, admitted that he had been in barbarian service at Victoria; also that he had owned there the Tak-lung pork butchery and the Hing-lung fish concern; that about the middle of January he had gone home from Victoria; he had come out to shoot because he had nothing else to do, and was in no way a traitorous Chinese. The gentry and elders of the Nine Wards have given a bail-bond for him, I was enabled to deal leniently with the case, and released him with a slight punishment (or fine).\n\nI am in want of the following articles (enumerated). Yu-ki-nin says that in the eastern division at Sha-tin, and at Chik-mi, boats load with bullocks, fowls, ducks, &c., for the supply of the English rebels.\n\nIt is very expedient that two vessels should be sent to cruize off those places.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 4\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih**\n\nFebruary 7, 1857.\n\nI came to Cowloon, where there were three of the parties concerned (in the plot), all of whom insisted on having some guarantee in writing. You will have found the details in Yu-ki-nin's note, and I have to request that you will signify to me what remuneration is to be given for each item (of the proceedings therein specified), that I may be enabled to discuss this with (the parties interested). The barbarian shipping, however, at Victoria has much diminished in number; in the last few days one-half seem to have gone. The American devils, I understand, see that, as matters stand, there is risk of danger, and (their ships) have therefore gone off.\n\nI hear it said that in the course of a few days the English will be sure to send to Cowloon for the boat we took a short time ago. This is the talk of the simple villagers, who are full of alarms and misgivings. For the present I have forbidden my braves to go to Cowloon, and shall wait some days until I see how matters stand, before I think of acting.\n\nA few days ago the English rebels took up seven Chinese in the Sheang-wan (the west of Victoria). When I see how utterly broken the barbarians are, I look on it as certain that they will not venture to disturb Cowloon again (or to break into it present themselves there).\n\nI have this day enlisted ten braves-very secretly without the knowledge of any man-and to-morrow shall get a boat for the undertaking. The other body of men, who are to be put on rations, when the attempt shall have succeeded, are people of the place (Hong Kong or Cowloon). They will probably cross the water in the course of the day (or a few days).\n\nYu-ki-nin came in from the Committee to-day, and informs me that yesterday our braves seized eleven rebellious barbarians and have handed them up to the Committee. I was delighted to hear this; it is really a fine thing. If we manage matters thus, the English rebels and the local vagabonds will not be able to bear one another, and each party will get to suspect the other to the advantage of the main issue. Who is to be sent with these eleven English rebels? The two Kwei-shin men need not, I think, be forwarded to Canton. I am told that their employer sent some one yesterday to learn how the case stood, and so I suppose he is going to bail them, &c.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 5\n\n**Chan-kwei-tsih to Chan-tsze-tin**\n\nFebruary 16.\n\nOn the 14th, Tong-sze brought me an answer from you. In the first decade of the 12th moon (27th December to the 5th January) Cheng-tsik was directed by the head committee (Canton) to go to Cowloon to take steps (or the necessary steps). I am told he had got a number of men together to fire Victoria. I fear, however, that he was not up to the task, and that he has failed (or will fail) in consequence.\n\nThis person was put forward by the F-san-tong (interlined)—I do not know who is charged with the superintendence of this (tong)-and was to accomplish his undertaking within a month, Lin-tsun-ngan has taken his leave of me as teacher (in my family), and as there is now no gentleman in charge of his twenty braves, they had better be disbanded; or the half of them might be, as there are ten in charge of Sai-kung.\n\nWan-hing's nephew has got leave for ten days. Mak-ying-tang's station is Sha-tin; he has now come in to head-quarters, and will be desired to go to Sha-tin. On his arrival he must be desired to go to his camp and remain there, and not to be staying at any other place that he may choose.\n\nTse-tung-shan (otherwise styled Tse-tso-ko) came in (from Canton) to the Committee (Sanon) this morning after breakfast, with 30 gilt mandarin buttons, and 1,000 dollars weighing 690 taels (interlined); this is to pay the 300 dollars for the lorcha, and the 30 taels for every devil's head. He also brought 2,000 taels to pay the men, contributed by Wei ordered to be handed over to the district magistrate.\n\nPostscript. The price of devil's heads has been reduced this year.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 6\n\n**Chan-tsze-tin to Chan-kwei-tsih**\n\nFebruary 17.\n\nI went on the 29th January to Sai-kung, to Yu-kia-nin's; and the non-commissioned officers of the Militia of the six wards of Ho-chung, and the Sha-kok-mi, all came to meet me. The rolls of their train-bands are now completed, and will be forwarded shortly.\n\nThe train-bands of the nine wards of Sik-un are also on foot, and the non-commissioned officers want the Committee to send flags, and badges, &c.\n\nYesterday the Commandant Chung returned to Cowloon; and I learned to-day that the English rebels had burned four war-junks at Tung-chung, and were giving out that to-day they would attack Tung-chung itself. One of my braves has returned from Victoria, and reports that there is no movement of the kind. Of late they have been more vigilant at Victoria than ever; no one is allowed out after 6 o'clock. Devil soldiers share the duty of keeping watch with the watchmen, and patrol zealously in bodies. From Tai-ping-shan to West Point there are devils on guard. After the lamps are lit no one is allowed to go from the shore to the ships, nor to land from the ships. The seamen devils act as devil soldiers. In the streets there is little business doing. The Wing-tai, Wo-shang, and Mau-tai, three great rice shops, ceased to do business some days ago.\n\nPage 408",

I have never been a Procuress. If Lyons said I told him Shaplok was a god-sister of Mrs Caldwell he has spoken falsely. The conversation with him was in English.\n\nThe cause of complaint, that is to say, the wrongful evidence, but stating his intention to prefer a complaint to the Government that I knew of the existence of the brothel, because I visited a house in the vicinity, and had not prosecuted the brothel. I thereupon wrote a letter of complaint to the Government against the Registrar General, for bringing my name into a question when urging a wrongful accusation, and against the Acting Colonial Secretary for the part he took in the matter. I received a letter from the Acting Colonial Secretary by direction of the Governor, stating that a charge had been brought against me by the Acting Colonial Secretary for not carrying out the Brothels' Ordinance, and censuring me for such misconduct. I distinctly state, that the cause of my opposition to the Police being employed in carrying out the Brothel Ordinance, as I several times verbally expressed to the Acting Colonial Secretary, was, that it would open a floodgate for the inundation of the Police department with bribery, extortion, and corruption, and that I thought it advisable to keep the temptation from the Police. I also considered, as I several times verbally expressed, that the Registrar General was the person appointed by the ordinance to carry out its provisions, and I was loath to interfere in his management in any way.\n\nI have been in Hongkong about 18 or 19 years. In the beginning of the colony I kept a brothel in the centre of Victoria. I am now a married woman, and supported by my husband, who keeps a shop. I ceased to keep a brothel 14 years ago. I have seen Mrs Caldwell's mother, but do not know her name, nor what her occupation was. I have not seen Shaplok since last year. There is a person called Mangtai P'o. I have not seen her at Pang-nga Koi's house. I do not know if she is any relation or connection by blood or usage of Mrs Caldwell. I do not know Mr Caldwell's surname.\n\n### CHING LIN-HEE\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nAdjourned till Friday at 12.\n\n## EIGHTH DAY\n\nFriday, 11th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent - All the Members, except Mr Scarth.\n\n### ANDREW LYSAGHT INGLIS\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI hold the offices of Governor of the Gaol, Acting Harbour Master, and Acting Emigration Officer. I have known Mr Caldwell since 1844, and Mrs Caldwell since about the same time.\n\nWith reference to charge 2 I can say nothing of my own knowledge, neither can I say anything with respect to charges 5, 14, 15, and 17.\n\nI reside in Tai-ping-shan West Street. I knew Mrs Caldwell 10 or more years ago, when she was 12 or 13 years old. She was then living in the central part of the town, in a house occupied by Pang-nga Koi, who kept an undertaker's shop, but is long since dead. I cannot tell whether Pang-nga Koi was any relation to Mrs Caldwell. Pang-nga Koi had at that time one son who lived in the house, and no daughter. I do not know why Mrs Caldwell was residing there; I only saw her there. I do not know Mrs Caldwell's mother. She lived in the same house, as also did Shaplók. I do not know if Shaplok is related to Mrs Caldwell, her mother, or to Ping-nga Koi. Mrs Caldwell was called Ayow when she was a child. I do not know whether Ayow and Shaplok were sworn sisters, or god-sisters, according to any Chinese habit or usage; and I do not know whether Ayow had any adopted, sworn, or god-sister.\n\nI recollect speaking with a foreigner [Lyons] about 10 days ago, about the repair of the roof of my house. I do not know his name. This European asked me if I knew Sam-kwei's (Mr Caldwell's) woman, and I said that I did when she was a child, but not since. I have seen Mrs Caldwell at Mr Caldwell's house when I have been there on business, but I have not spoken to her. I never told Lyons that Shaplok was a sort of god-sister to Mrs Caldwell. He asked me if I knew Shaplok, whether she had a house for singing. I said I knew Shaplok, but that I did not know that she had a house for singing. I told him Shaplok used to live near Achong's, the P. & O. Comprador. I do not know whether Shaplok had a brothel in the years 1856 or 1857. The conversation with Lyons was in English.\n\nCross-examined,—It most decidedly does not necessarily follow that all Chinese women, either married to, or living with, Europeans, must previously have been inmates of brothels. I have known several instances of women who had never been inside of a brothel living with Europeans. [Mr Caldwell states it to be his wish that Mr Inglis should answer the question referring to Mrs Caldwell, that he had declined to answer.] Of my own knowledge I know that Mrs Caldwell was at one time an inmate of a brothel. I knew the house and have been in it myself; and from what I saw of the inmates I have no doubt it was a brothel. This must have been in April 1844. Mrs Caldwell was I think then about 15 years of age. I do not know if there was a man who taught singing and music in the house. I never saw any act of prostitution committed there, nor am I aware of such having been committed there. I was never in the house but once, and then in company with two Europeans. I do not know whether the females I saw in the house were there as permanent inmates or for the purpose of prostitution, or only casual inmates for a particular purpose. Mrs Caldwell was at that time known by the name of Ayow. I do not know who kept the house.\n\n(23)\n\nI knew also a little boy whom I believed to be her brother, but whether by blood or usage I do not know. I do not remember his name, and I have not seen him since 1845-6. I did not know a person of the name of Ping-nga Koi. I cannot tell the family name of Mrs Caldwell. I do not know her mother's name. I do not recollect any female whom I believed to be Mrs Caldwell's sister, but whether by blood or usage, I do not know. I do not know whether she is dead or alive at the present moment. I have no knowledge of this female keeping a brothel in the years 1856-7. I do not recollect her name and do not think I have seen her since 1845 or 1846. I may have heard the name Shaplok, but I do not recollect any one of that name, and do not know if the female mentioned above was called Shaplok. I do not know Chun Atsoo.\n\n### LUM ALEEN\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nOn the 9th May, Mr May and his servant came to me and had a conversation with me. Mr May asked me through his servant, who was repairing my shop; I said it was being repaired by Yee Wo Fook, who was collector of the rent. He also asked who was the owner of the shop, and I said Sam-kwei, meaning Mr Caldwell. I do not recollect Mr May saying that Mr Woods had bought the property. I have occupied the house since 20th August 1857; I took it from Yee Wo Fook, and have paid him rent ever since. I do not know of my own knowledge that this property belongs to Mr Caldwell; I have only heard so from others when I first took the shop. I have never paid any of the rent to Mr Caldwell, nor have I spoken to him concerning repairs.\n\nI recollect the removal of the houses from Choong Wan to Taipingshan, and think it must have been about the time above mentioned. I have never seen Mrs Caldwell in a brothel on any other occasion. At the time of my visit it was my impression, that Mrs Caldwell was not living with Mr Caldwell, but was promised to him. There can be no mistake that the female who was pointed out to me was afterwards Mrs Caldwell. The women I saw there may have been singing women and not prostitutes - I am not certain.\n\nRe-examined, I do not know of my own knowledge that the female to whom I have referred as the one I believed to be Mrs Caldwell's sister, ever at any time kept a brothel. At the time I went to this house Mr Caldwell was living with another woman called Aoon. I have seen Mrs Caldwell at different times while she was living with Mr Caldwell, but before their marriage. It does not necessarily follow that because a Chinese woman is living with a European she must have come from a brothel, or been brought to this colony by a procuress for the purpose of prostitution. They may at any time be obtained from families on the mainland without the intervention of procuresses. Europeans frequently walk into Chinese family houses here without the introduction of the head of the family. I knew in 1846-7 a woman who was called \"Queen of the Taipingshan,\" who was a brothel-keeper at the time.\n\n### LAI SZE-KAI\n\nRecalled.\n\nCross-examined, At the time of this conversation with Mr May the shop was not under repair. The whole of the range except mine, had a new brick front. Mr May asked me through his servant, why I did not build up my front, and I said that I could not purchase bricks. I did not mention Mr Caldwell's name in connection with the purchase of the bricks; I do not know to whom the newly repaired houses belonged, and I said so to Mr May. There is a small shop next to mine, and on the other side of this shop there is a brothel. Mr May did not speak to me concerning this brothel; nor did I say anything about it to him.\n\n### YOONG AYOONG\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI know Leong Atai; he came to me at my shop about the 23d April last. He said that his relation had a house in Taipingshan, which he wanted to sell for $600. He said he had been to Mr May's mistress, who wished to purchase the house, and that if I did not want it he would let her have it. About two or three days after this I went to Tong Wingcho, a relation, who said that he wanted some money to set up an Opium shop, and asked me to get somebody to buy the property. I asked my mistress, Mrs Caldwell, if she would buy it at $470. My mistress said, that if there was a deed she would buy the house, but if the lot was divided between two parties she would not. I asked her then, if the other party who had the deed of sale, would sell his part also, whether she would buy both. She said \"I won't talk so much about it; if you produce the deed I'll buy it, but if you don't I will not.\" I then advanced $400 for my mistress, for which I am to be answerable. My mistress said, if I could obtain the deed she would buy it, but if not I should take the lot. The deed has not been produced, and she has not purchased it.\n\nCross-examined, I never spoke to Mr Caldwell on this subject, and do not know whether Mrs Caldwell spoke to Mr Caldwell concerning the arrangement. Between the time I spoke to Mrs Caldwell and the payment of the money, a fortnight elapsed. I got the $400 from my mistress. Mr Caldwell was not present at the time of the payment, nor at any time that I was speaking to Mrs Caldwell about the purchase. I am the only security she has got for the $400; she was only to have one shop for the $470. I saw the owner of the other, and did not commence any negotiation with him.\n\nI am Mr May's servant; I went on the 9th May with Mr May to brothel 48. Upon asking who lived there a man about 40 years of age presented himself. I asked him why he did not put a new front to the house, and he replied that he would do it by and by. I asked to whom the house belonged, and he said to Mr Caldwell. This was the only person who spoke to me, but there were some females and others standing near. I said to the man \"Mr Caldwell has not paid me the money yet.\"",

        "content_text": "# informed by \n\nHis Excellency's opinion, in its present state, unfit for publication, inasmuch as it reflected upon Officers of other Departments of the Public Service.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n(Signed) W.H. Alexander, \nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\n(True Copy) \nW.H. Alexander, \nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\n**Daily Press. 10th March 1862.**\n\nCan anybody tell us why the report and the returns of the Colonial Surgeon should be suppressed year after year in the manner they are? We know that the rules of the service require that a copy of every despatch sent into the Colonial Secretary's office should be forwarded to Downing Street. We ourselves saw a despatch from the Earl of Clarendon to Sir John Bowring on this subject, which urged the enforcement of the rule in such strong terms that it directed that should a letter once sent in be withdrawn, still both the letter and the withdrawal should be forwarded home.\n\nThe fate of the Colonial Surgeon's returns, being enveloped in the most impenetrable mystery, we may be very sure that they contain matter which the Government are ashamed of. That he sent in returns is certain; that they have been suppressed is equally so, inasmuch as they have not been published; and that the Colonial Surgeon is in the bad books of the powers that be is abundantly clear from the fact of their having raised their own salaries and reduced his. Arriving at these inevitable conclusions, we halt at a stand point wherefrom to view the circumstance of the suppression of these returns. Our readers must bear in mind that neither the Medical returns for 1860 nor 1861 have been published.\n\nNow we happened to learn by the merest accident that the Governor himself said, relative to some other papers which he suppressed, that he wanted to send despatches to Downing Street showing that everything was going on right, not that anything whatever was going on wrong. Here we have the clue to the whole affair, and the subject becomes serious and important when we reflect that the measures which Her Majesty's Government have adopted to place a check upon the Governors of Colonies lacking Representative institutions, are thus openly defied. We fear that a proper construction upon this system would be a fraud upon the Home Government. \"Nothing is to be sent home unless it be painted *couleur de rose*.\" The Press is to be denounced and stigmatised as false and scurrilous! Every act of the local Government is to be enveloped in the most profound mystery? Unscrupulously *exparte* despatches are to be indicted to Downing Street! What an enlightened, constitutional, and popular system to be sure!\n\nHowever, to return to the Colonial Surgeon's returns. We know a little more than is convenient. The fact is that our résumé upon the state of affairs here at the close of last year, caused us to become a sort of repository for what are termed the \"stories flying about.\" A medical gentleman, whom we seldom see, told us, that the Civil Hospital contained no wards for infectious diseases, nor suitable place to put insane people into. That smallpox had appeared in the establishment, and that before a mat shed could be erected for the accommodation of the sufferers, the contagion had spread to some, but not to a large, extent. Furthermore, that insane people had escaped from the hospital on several occasions, and that sad consequences had resulted. Our informant added, that the Colonial Surgeon had in vain solicited for the remedy of these defects, but that no heed being taken, he had embodied them in his annual report—*ergo*, it had been suppressed.\n\nWe made further enquiries, but could ascertain no more than the bare fact that there were neither infectious nor insane wards at the Civil Hospital, and that the Colonial Surgeon had expressed his disapprobation at the lack of these indispensable necessaries. We heard, however, in the course of our peregrinations, that there had been a \"row\" between the Governor of the Gaol and the Colonial Surgeon. That the latter had disapproved of the severity with which flogging was administered, and of the objectionable mode in which the prisoners are manacled; of the crowded state of the Gaol, and the consequent heavy mortality; of the lack of interpreters and of the difficulty which he experienced in having his directions carried out. Our informant averred that the Governor of the Gaol had been supplied with a copy of the Colonial Surgeon's complaints, and that he had replied in a recriminatory manner, but our informant knew not what he had said. Judging from the falsehood Joseph Scott Esq. told about Mr. Tarrant embracing Sum Ahing, we do not think he would stick at a trifle.\n\nThere may be, most likely there are, other reasons why the Medical returns should be suppressed. We regret to have to come before our readers with the \"reports flying about,\" but when official shortcomings and malpractices are attempted to be concealed by the shroud of mystery, and a threatening circular sent round to the heads of departments lest they should communicate with the press, it is clear that the fourth estate must either use the best materials available or be rendered utterly impotent. We have proved that papers have been suppressed, and we have given good reasons, founded, at all events, on reliable data, why they should have been and are suppressed. Surely that is *prima facie* evidence of our case, and enough to justify our appealing to the public thereupon.\n\nA snarling friend of ours, for whom we have a sneaking regard, told us with a grin yesterday, that we had caught \"hold of the wrong story about the Registrar's fees,\" and that we had made things worse than they were? Oh oh, then they are bad are they? If they are made to appear worse, blame the concealment practised, not us, and let the truth be told. We know this. Mr. Alexander taxed Dr. Bridges' Bill of Costs in the case of Caine v. Tarrant, at over $2,300, whilst Mr. Anstey's Bill of Costs in the case of the Queen v. Tarrant, which involved more than three times the labour, was less than one third the amount, and was thus descanted on by the Governing powers.\n\n| Date          | Office                | Letter Details                                                                                   |\n|---------------|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 21 January 1859 | Colonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong | SIR, I have laid before his Excellency the Governor your letter recommending the payment of costs in the case of Regina v. Tarrant, amounting to 750 dollars and 25 cents, and his Excellency has accordingly authorised the payment of that sum, but will not fail to call the attention of the Secretary of State to the failure of justice, and to the exorbitant charges, allowed by the taxing officer. This case came under the criminal jurisdiction of the court, and it seems to his Excellency a very grave matter that the Crown should be called on in a criminal prosecution to defray the expenses which the prisoner may incur in his defence. |\n|               |                       | I have, &c. (signed) W. T. Mercer, Colonial Secretary. \"The Honourable the Acting Attorney General.\" |\n\nBoth suits were criminal prosecutions— If it is a \"grave matter\" that the Crown should pay when it loses, it is surely a still \"graver matter\" to make an incarcerated prisoner pay on a treble scale for the expense of prosecuting him.\n\nWe further know that Mr. Alexander is the nominee of Dr. Bridges and brother Mercer, and is moreover the special agent of the former at this moment.",

        "content_text": "## Shum Ahing being in prison, and not yet sentenced by Tai-kot (the Supreme Court) wrote a letter and employed Mr. Ka-la-ma's (Grandpre's) boy to carry it to Sam-qui (Caldwell)\n\nThe import of the letter was to this effect; that a shop of Kate-ae-lung was built jointly by Shum Ahing (the writer) and Kani-ne-lang. Formerly Sam-qui said that this shop should be given up to Wong Akoe's wife that she might receive the rental, and \"if this were not done evil would come out of a refusal. I, Shum Ahing, have considered whether holding this house and being in prison were better than to give it up and be free, and conclude to give it up as my best way.\n\nTherefore I write this letter to request (beg) Sam-qui not to employ that \"Pig seller\" to bear false witness against me in Court, in order to my condemnation, and I will make over the shop to Wong Akoe's wife, and also from money on my person pay Sam-qui $100. I myself have written this letter and await an answer.\n\n(Signed) **SHUM AHING**\n\nAfter several days Sam-qui replied: That he had received the letter and understood the whole matter. Formerly, said he, I ordered you to give up that shop and you would not obey, hence your trouble. Now, I have forced this head man to testify against you before the Court (Tai-kot) who will sentence you to hard labor in prison for life. \"Now you say in your letter that if you can get out of prison you are willing to give up this shop, and also make a present of $100 to me, and this you propose to do after you get out of prison. Now since this witness resides with me he requires large sums for expenses, and $400 is not enough. But if you will send your younger brother, who is not in prison, with $600 to me, I will not require this man to bear testimony against you, but when you come to trial I will require him to reverse his former testimony, and you will of course be set free.\n\nYou should complete the matter speedily and not delay. You know my name, I need not write it.\n\nShum Ahing received this letter, and because he could not raise all the money demanded, Sam-qui contrived the false testimony, in conjunction with the head man (Pig man*) to secure his being imprisoned for four years.\n\nI beg of you, Sir, to understand that I only put in this paper, and I give you the original also (which contains something more) as an explanation of the way in which I got my knowledge. That Shum Ahing did write to Mr. Caldwell I do not doubt; but whether his letter reached the party to whom it was addressed, and whether that party answered, as stated, are things of which I have no proof. At all events, there can be little doubt but Shum Ahing thought Mr. Caldwell got his letter; and that he believed the charge would drop if the money demanded were paid; and this, on the expectancy that his friends would raise the money for him, accounts for his not having employed a lawyer to defend him.\n\nBut it was his conviction and removal from his path that Caldwell wanted not his money.\n\nWell, Shum Ahing had no money and does not his very poverty form strong presumptive evidence of his innocence of the charge laid to him? Why, if he had sold 45 men into slavery, at the low price of say $27 each, he would have had at command nearly double six hundred dollars to purchase his release!\n\nTo proceed. To furnish His Excellency the Governor with such proof of Shum Ahing's innocence as may be sufficient to satisfy the justice of the Crown in giving him his release, I have to ascertain:--\n\n1. Whether Soong, the informer, were or were not an impostor as was alleged.\n2. Whether it were true that the thirty-two men that left the Sun-Look-tye hong for the *Entilie Pireire* were really part of the forty-five taken to Macao.\n3. Whether the five men released were really five of the forty-five.\n4. Whether Kwon-sun-kwan, who gave evidence at the Courts, was also an Impostor (and Shum Ahing in his statement to me said he knew nothing at all of him; he believed that he was a man paid by Caldwell and Mah-chow Wong's wife's brother to give false evidence.)\n5. Whether Caldwell were aware of the impostorship of the men put forward as witnesses.\n6. Caldwell's knowledge of the Impostorship being assumed,--what was his motive?\n\nThe result of my investigation was as follows:-\n\nAs to point 1-Whether Soong the informer were or were not an Impostor-I found, on the general evidence of Mr. Marquis and other officers of the Macao Government, per letter to Mr. Marquis and his reply marked `A` and `B` appended, that **ASOONG WAS AN IMPOSTOR**, and this Impostorship is further proved by the evidence of Delfino Xavier (enclosure marked `C`)* and that of Cheang Achun (marked `G`.†)\n\nPage 330\nPage 331",

Whether the diabama is still in the neighbourhood of the Java or not, it is pretty certain that she has committed no more destruction tbere, \n\notherwise the crews of the cap- tured vessels would have been sure to turn up at some of the Dutch ports, \n\nAn amelioration of the regulations relating to the Exports of Arms from this Part, contained in the following Dotification, was published five days ago in the Government Gazelle.\" With reference to Notification No. 146, dated 28th October 1863, His Ho- the Governor has been pleas- ed to dispense with the prescribed de elaration in all cases in which Arms in reasonable quantities may be ex- ported from Ports in the Straits Set- thement to Cochin-China, Siam, the States in the Malayan Peninsula, or any of the Islands in the Easters Ar- chipelago.\" This will be esteemed a \n\nFPT \n\nThe germ of this affair has been tho quadron which arrived in Chins some time ago under the command of Lap twin Sherard Oshorne. The course which Captain Osborne should probably have parsed, was to have reported insett, on his arrival in the Yangtexs river, to the Governor General of the Two King, and to have given him delivery of the Fleet. Mr. Lay, however, is reported to have de. manded the direct recognition by Prince Kuug of Capt. Osborne, and to have de clined delivering over the vessels to aby local provincial officer. Tseng Ko-fan, to whom the Chinese Governatont desired the vessels to be given, is a man of great note, and rulos over not less than 20,000,000 of people, beeides possessing most extensive infance in the Chinese Empire. Mr. Lay, of all men, was to have been expected to have avoided the mistake of ignoring this mandarin; and people hore are surprised \n\nto the cause; and, moreover, that, of tha later number, some still lanhl out in the different parts of the city.

He was put out of the coolie-house three or four days ago, though he was willing to go; he was sick, and was turned out, in the same way as he had seen ten persons turned out before.

He caught a cold in the Police Station. He saw no doctor examine any of the emigrants, and he was not examined by Mr Caldwell before going on board.\n\nMr Caldwell here stated that the whole story was utterly untrue, as the emigrants were examined some ten days ago by Dr Adams and the Emigration Officer: He could not have been in the house at all.\n\nThe Coroner remarked that he would be glad if Mr Caldwell would come up tomorrow and give his evidence. He would have to adjourn until 4 o'clock to-morrow,\n\nFriday, April 23.\n\nasked that question because he had himself visited the place yesterday; and the effect upon him had been very great. He had been very \"queer\" ever since, as the sight, the picture, he said there was something terrible.\n\nWitness continued to say that the common people, even respectable shopkeepers, went there to be cured.\n\nThe Coroner observed that such might be the case; but he never could forget the of the so-called wards upon his mind by the sight. It was a perfect picture of filth and misery; the \"patients\" were huddled together in a most miserable place, with pools of dirt everywhere. There was no one to give a drink of water to any of them or attend them in any way; and when the keeper was asked whether this one or that one was dead or alive, he stated he did not know. One who was naked was lying amongst the Chinese.\n\nAnother witness, Lum Aching, the sick coolie was again put into the box. He again got confused as to whether he was sick or not; and stated that he was driven out and beaten with a stick, because he was not selected on Board ship.\n\nMr Caldwell here stated, in reply to the Coroner, that he made it a rule to send back all the emigrants who were rejected, but as he was only responsible for the payment, not for seeing whether the Chinese carried out their part of the contract.\n\nThe Coroner remarked strongly on the horrible state of the Chinese Hospital.\n\nChoo Asoo, another coolie, was next examined; but this witness's statement had floundered so very long until the Coroner remarked that he thought the witness was weak in the head.\n\nWong-teen-fook, broker or market man of the coolie-house, stated that there were one or two sick people in the house lately. He could not say what the book produced was for; neither could he say of what disease the patients were sick.\n\nMr D. R. Caldwell, China interpreter, sworn, said, he had been employed by Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., agents for the Surinam Emigration.\n\nThe Coroner remarked that he could not see that there was evidence to prove any complicity in the exposure of this man, though he believed he was the same whose name was in the coolie-book.\n\nThe Jury returned a verdict of death by natural causes.\n\nThe Coroner remarked that he hoped that greater care would be taken as to the Hospital in future. He was never so much saddened by any spectacle in his life before.\n\nMr Caldwell said that he would himself see that the abuses were corrected.

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG TIMES.\n\n## HONGKONG, TUESDAY, DEC. 30, 1873.\n\n### THE LAST OF THE MACAO COOLIE TRADE.\n\nTHE many wrongs that have been connected with the coolie traffic from Macao, have been put to an end at last, and we may congratulate Portugal on having severed herself from a business so very infamous as the one we allude to. By a proclamation, dated the 27th instant, H. E. Visconde de Sao Januario, Governor of Macao, acting under the orders of his Sovereign, has put a stop to a trade that has proved immensely lucrative to the many engaged in promoting it, and, however this desirable result may have been brought about, there is nothing but satisfaction to be felt at its taking place, although somewhat late in the day.\n\nOne of the paragraphs of the proclamation referred to, calls attention to an article in the Emigration Regulations providing for the stoppage of the so-called emigration within three months, from which we might infer that it might either be allowed to continue until the full three months had expired, or the traffic might be stopped immediately; and one would feel rather inclined to be dubious as to the further lease of life to be accorded to the coolie traffic, but the assertion that \"The Chinese Emigration hitherto carried on in the port of Macao is henceforward prohibited,\" is reassuring, and we conclude that the various vessels lying in the Macao roadstead waiting for coolies may unfurl their sails and seek for different employment.\n\nIt is evident that Portugal is convinced, by this time, that though good, honest regulations could be made to govern the emigration from Macao, it was not equally possible to have these regulations duly observed, and consequently, with a sense of justice that there were, at one time, grave reasons to doubt she had, she has decided upon having no more infamy cast upon her on the Coolie question.\n\nIt is possible that we are rejoicing before we have any very great cause so to do; it is, perhaps, not improbable that Macao may be re-opened as a mart for Coolie labour, but we have hopes of better things, and until we see Macao carrying on the Coolie trade again as of old, we shall steadily refuse to credit that a return of the former days is in any way likely. The question that now occurs to us is, has the Coolie trade been killed by this last act of Portugal, or is it likely to flourish as strongly as ever. To our mind its prospects are very bad indeed. The action taken by the Chinese authorities at different times has been such as would preclude them from entering upon any agreement, even upon the most advantageous terms for themselves, with either the Coolie brokers or traders, whereby a certain number of coolies should be shipped annually for Peru and Havana, and consequently the trade as it has been carried on is, in our opinion, virtually terminated. In fact the only thing that can be done now is for either Spain and Peru to obtain some small foothold on the Coast of China, when the traffic, now supposed to be dead, would be found to be scotched only.\n\nThe stop taken by Portugal on this long vexed question will affect to a great extent, we should imagine, the negotiations now going on between Li-hung-chang and H. E. Capt. Garcia y Garcia, materially strengthening the position assumed by the former; so much so, that we should not be by any means surprised to learn that the two diplomatists above mentioned have been unable to agree upon any terms. Whether such a result would be beneficial or otherwise to the able-bodied power classes, of China, is a question that can be satisfactorily solved by time only, but merely as an opinion, we think that some arrangements made upon a sound basis, between Peru and China, would be better for such men as all the position of coolies than if there were no agreement whatever as, in the one case there would be supervision of some sort whilst in the other semi-independent mandarins stationed along the Coast over whom the Government supervision is very light might undertake to enrich themselves without considering the honourableness of the manner in which it was done.\n\n## MACÃO.\n\n(From our own Correspondent.)\n\nAs I told you in my last, the coolie trade is finished, and, I hope, for ever. The Governor since his arrival has often informed the home authorities of the utter impossibility of renovating the system, and rooting out the abuses. With people zealous in the nefarious modus operandi, reform is totally out of the question. The recent energetic pressure put to bear on the Lisbon Government by the Court of St. James, coupled with unbiased dispatches from Macao, in which plain truth was said, have at last moved the King to wire the death warrant, which, like a bombshell, was made known here on Saturday at half past two in the afternoon, half an hour before the closing of the public departments. At 8 o'clock the whole town was in a state of commotion—like an excitement in the 'Change or during the late monetary crisis in New York. Agents, who have already transacted the business of the day, were immediately off for their brokers to recover the advances made in the morning and to cancel the contracts. Barracconers locked up at the Camoens, who in their turn, released the uncooled, which, in the coolie-trade phraseology, means \"unprepared to pay the fatal peso,\" and, foreseeing a tempest not far distant, pack their traps for immediate departure. The officials, who derive upwards of two hundred per cent. on their pay, from the coffers of the superintendency, looked rather blue, and will have to be content with the paltry sum allowed them by the regulation, which is barely enough to keep body and soul together. Thirty-five to forty thousand brokers and employés of the trade are now left out of employment, and it is estimated that 300 houses will soon be vacated! Therefore, you need not be surprised to hear loud cries by ex-chuchueiros and ex-chuchueiras against the new order, and against the person who caused it. Legitimate trade here is almost nil; coolie-trade having enervated the people, all industry died away one after the other until no other business was known but that in human beings. What this large army of idlers will do to get a living, I do not know, nor do I pity them now in their disappointment, for my feelings have long been with those who have been ensnared by them into captivity and certain death in Havana, Peru and in the dreadful caverns of the guano islands.\n\nThe coolie brokers being the chief supporters of the gambling houses, now that their bankruptcy is apparent, some of them dens of iniquity are being closed, and in their sad places pawnbroker's shops—this abominable destination that ferments misery and poverty—will be established. Last night the fan-tan tables were almost deserted and the bids were so insignificantly small, that astonished the players, who had the shops shut up long before the accustomed time.\n\nBy the present steamer some of the Agents and others interested in coolie ships \"Chandlers\" take their departure from Macao, and to-morrow's boat will carry despatches for the French Mail steamer announcing the compliance with the King's mandate as well as a long exposition of the probable future of Macao without the obnoxious traffic.\n\nThe following Peruvian ships are in the roads: \"Cullen,\" \"Isaia,\" \"Ornole,\" \"Luisa Canevaro,\" \"Macro,\" \"Colombia,\" \"Nuova Providencia,\" \"Agostina,\" \"Lala,\" \"Peru,\" \"Providencia,\" \"Fray Bentos;\" their aggregate tonnage being 12,000 tons. One of which will, probably, take the sweepings of the barracoons, numbering in all about 500, of which several are infirm and cripples, and, therefore, unfit for any work whatever.",

A great many of you I am afraid won't understand what I say, but speaking to those who can I have only to congratulate you on the coming round of another year, for your attendance; and I hope that the year past has been very profitable to yourselves, and that it will have been a satisfaction to your parents.\n\nDuring the last year an important change has taken place both in this and other schools, by the Government paying for results instead of giving grants. The Council of the Colony has hitherto been very liberal, and I am certain that they would be inclined to be still more liberal if they found that the new system works well. You all know pretty well, at least those of you who can speak English will understand what paying for results means. It means paying for work done.\n\nAll of you, I am sure, know very well that shams are very bad things, and a sham school is, I think, in the eyes of all thinking people, the very worst of bad things. It wastes valuable time that never can be recalled; it leads parents to suppose their children are being educated and taught, when they are not being taught at all; it leads the children themselves into habits of idleness, and leads them to suppose that simply sitting for a certain number of hours without applying their minds to what they have got to do is either profitable or creditable; that wretched delusion, that sham is not dispelled unfortunately till after life, then they find out, and then they regret the time that has been wasted; and I think likewise that they have some right to blame those who allow such a faulty system to be maintained for a single day.\n\nI myself am very unwilling to make any change in the schools. I am not fond of pulling things up, like the boys do the flowers in the garden, to see whether they are growing, but I wish to see what this school and the other schools are doing, and, according to the best information I can get, I am led to suppose that the system of paying by results is the best, that it has answered well elsewhere, and I consider it will answer equally well here, and believe that it has been so far, and will continue to be, faithfully carried on.\n\nThe reports I get of the school are very satisfactory; and everybody, and every scholar of whatever denomination, gets fair play and a fair chance. The new system is not only advantageous to the boys, but is a great encouragement to the masters. On the old system the masters were simply to receive their stipend, and not to receive any very great credit for the proficiency their boys made, and this afforded very little inducement and very little encouragement to them to bestow their time and energy on the work they had taken in hand.\n\nThe present system removes that difficulty, and I hope and believe that the schools in the Colony will profit immensely by the system. I think it will not be distasteful to any, but that it will be beneficial to all. To the boys themselves it will be satisfactory to know what classes they are in. It will be satisfactory to know what progress they have made, and that, in itself, is a great inducement.\n\nEvery boy knows pretty well the extent of the capacity of the one who sits next him. You are all very good judges of each other, and with the system of paying by results you know who is who, and are able to discriminate between those who have been industrious and those who have been idle. This is a great matter. The prizes in actual life do not always fall to men strictly according to merit, but when boys know that they get into a higher class, that their merits are discriminated and pointed out to their fellows, there is among all boys, as among all men, something to induce them to rise to distinction and deserve it.\n\nI have not much to say on the subject of conduct. I have heard no complaints, and believe the conduct of the boys generally is very good. It cannot be but a great satisfaction to myself, and the Council of the Colony who find the funds for maintaining the school, that we have apparently gained the goodwill and the confidence of the Chinese portion of the population. They are here treated with great impartiality; and what we are endeavouring to do is not only to teach them but to set them an example of tolerance and forbearance, and to show them that we have no desire to interfere with their consciences in any way.\n\nWe simply offer them a useful, practical education, which they will all find, and I am happy to believe which many have found, of great use and to their advantage. I believe that if we had room, and if the means of the Colony would afford it, we could get a great many more. It is quite impossible to please all parties; it is impossible to please every denomination of religion; to attempt to do so is a hopeless matter. It has been tried in many places I know of. I have seen it tried, and have tried it myself, and it always resulted in signal failure.\n\nWhat boys learn here will induce them not to stop at that but go farther and enquire for themselves. When boys can read, and judge for themselves, and discriminate, I think it is sufficient time to enter upon difficult and abstruse subjects; and I am not prepared to think that children derive any good from receiving mental food which they are incapable of digesting. I believe you get all here that is good for you. Possibly I might wish you to get more than you do get but I don't see my way to that, and I am quite content to leave things as they are, and to let well alone.\n\nI hope you will all remember that it is to the British Government you are indebted for the liberty and the blessings you enjoy, and for the freedom of conscience which you all have, and which your parents desire you to exercise. We have no desire whatever to interfere with that. We wish to teach you as much as you please to learn, and for the rest you must educate yourselves. You are instructed here, your education must be finished elsewhere, or by yourselves.\n\nI have now to wish you a very happy holiday, and I hope you will return to your work with that attention, steadiness and desire to improve which I understand you have manifested during the past year. (Applause.)",

        "content_text": "is not to be forgotten that the Chinese are by no means the only recipients of the advantages of the system of education provided in Hongkong. There are a large number of Portuguese residents, whose children are attendants at the schools, and the children of several other respectable Europeans also are sent there, as the best means of providing them with a sound education. In this latter respect the schools are likely to be of increasing utility, as there are many married people, to whom it would be a great burden to have to send their children home to school, and who can now secure them a sound general education in the Colony.\n\nLooked at in every light, the Government Schools are an institution of which the Colony may be justly proud, and we have great pleasure in congratulating the Superintendent of Schools and those under him, on the success which has attended their efforts. This success, it is also right to acknowledge, is due in no small degree to the sound views entertained by H.E. the Governor, and the support which he has given both by his influence and his advocacy, to a system of undenominational schools by which the advantages of education are thrown open to all.\n\n## THE HONG KONG TIMES\n\n### HONG KONG, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1874\n\n## GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL EXAMINATION\n\nThe scholars attending the Government Central School Hong Kong, underwent a public examination yesterday (Tuesday) morning; His Excellency the Governor (Sir Arthur Kennedy, K.C.M.G., C.B.) subsequently distributing the prizes to the successful competitors. The scholars were divided into two classes, and in the presence of the public were examined in reading, arithmetic, geography, etc. This examination occupied about an hour, and showed the pupils to be well acquainted with the few subjects touched upon.\n\nIt should, however, be stated that this was not the examination on which the prizes were awarded, that a far more comprehensive and exhaustive test was being conducted by means of papers some time since. At the distribution of prizes, which took place in the large room, there were present His Excellency the Governor (accompanied by his Aide-de-camp, Capt. O'Callaghan), the Hon. J. G. Austin, the Hon. C. C. Smith, Hon. P. Ryrie, Rev. Mr. Piton, Mr. Frederick Stewart, M.A. (Head Master and Inspector of Schools), Mr. E. J. R. Willcocks (Central School), A. Falconer (Central School), and Messrs. Guttierez, Romano, Nelson, and several ladies.\n\nThe boys who had gained prizes were called up before His Excellency the Governor, who enquired of them the time they had been at school, and other matters. In handing over the rewards of their success, he pointed out the interest and utility of the studies they were engaged in, complimented the boys upon their success, and expressed the pleasure he felt in taking part in the day's proceedings. In presenting the \"Punctuality Prize,\" His Excellency remarked that it was not given to everyone to be clever; but every boy might be regular and punctual in attendance and well-behaved. The lad who had gained the prize had set an example which he hoped would be followed by the whole school.

        "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\n## 8004\n\ndéjà la tranquillité dont elle jouit, et qui trouve son intérêt à cultiver la terre sans inquiétudes et à en vendre librement les produits, sans jamais avoir à redouter ni exactions ni spoliations.\n\nNous devions nous montrer aussi soucieux de ses intérêts que des nôtres.\n\nJe ne m'étendrai pas plus longuement sur les avantages réciproques résultant de ce traité, l'exposé des motifs si clair et si précis, de l'honorable ministre des affaires étrangères suffisant parfaitement pour vous faire connaître toutes les questions de détail. Il est un point important cependant, sur lequel nous devons encore nous arrêter : c'est la convention spéciale qui réglera les rapports commerciaux.\n\nVotre commission eût vivement désiré que le traité de commerce lui eût été soumis en même temps que le traité qui règle les rapports politiques entre l'Annam et la France; malheureusement, la nécessité d'envoyer des pouvoirs au nouveau gouverneur de la Cochinchine a retardé l'arrivée en France de cette convention, qui ne pourra vous être présentée qu'après la prorogation; mais dès aujourd'hui M. le ministre de la marine a bien voulu nous communiquer la teneur de l'article 1er, qui est ainsi conçu :\n\nOn a beaucoup parlé du climat insalubre de la Cochinchine; qu'il nous soit permis de mettre un peu en garde contre les exagérations qui pourraient se produire à ce sujet. Et tout d'abord, ne sait-on pas que toute colonie nouvelle doit forcément payer un large tribut? Demandez à l'Angleterre ce que lui a coûté Calcutta; demandez à la Hollande ce que lui a coûté Batavia; demandez, si vous le voulez, à l'Algérie ce que lui a coûté la Mitidja; mais quand donc la crainte des maladies a-t-elle fait reculer les vaillants pionniers de la civilisation? D'ailleurs, la période la plus mauvaise est sans doute passée pour nous; notre établissement en Cochinchine date déjà de douze années, et à mesure que des casernes se sont élevées pour nos soldats, à mesure que des maisons confortables ont été construites par nos colons, l'assainissement s'est fait et il ne peut à coup sûr que progresser chaque jour.\n\n**Art. 1.** Conformément aux stipulations de l'article 11 du 15 mars, le roi d'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Naï dans la province de Binh-Dinh, de Ninh-Hai dans la province de Hai-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Hà, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière chinoise.\n\nAjoutons enfin, que l'un des avantages du traité sera précisément de nous donner la possibilité de créer au Tonkin un établissement sanitaire où nos malades de Cochinchine, qui ne sont la plupart du temps qu'anémiés, viendront reprendre des forces sous une latitude plus élevée.\n\nLe second point important du traité est celui qui donne à la religion chrétienne des garanties sérieuses pour son libre exercice et pour son développement.\n\nSur cette terre arrosée, hier encore, du sang de tant de martyrs, où l'on compte aujourd'hui huit évêques, environ quatre cents missionnaires et prêtres et plus de cinq cent mille chrétiens, il sera enfin permis à nos coreligionnaires de professer leur foi sans avoir à redouter les plus épouvantables supplices. En retour, la sagesse de nos évêques et de nos missionnaires nous est un sûr garant qu'ils prendront soin de veiller à ce que les populations chrétiennes se montrent les plus soumises et les plus respectueuses de l'autorité du souverain de l'Annam.\n\nUn troisième point du traité est celui qui ouvre au commerce de toutes les nations un port dans la Cochinchine occidentale, un port dans le Tonkin, et qui assure le libre transit par le fleuve du Nhi-Hà (Shaungkoï), depuis la mer jusqu'au Yunnan.\n\nLa France, après avoir, de concert avec l'Angleterre, ouvert de nouveaux ports de la Chine au commerce européen, vient donc de poursuivre son œuvre de civilisation et de progrès, en obtenant l'ouverture des ports de l'Annam. Ce royaume sera du reste le premier à retirer des fruits de sa concession; car partout où le commerce européen pénètre, il apporte avec lui la tranquillité et le respect des propriétés comme celui des transactions. Le sud du Tonkin verra bientôt disparaître ces bandes d'insurgés qui y entretenaient un état de désordre permanent.\n\nNos navires protecteurs en auront bientôt fini avec cette flotte de pirates qui, depuis un temps immémorial, exerce des ravages sur les côtes, empêchant toute sortie de navires, tout commerce et jusqu'à la pêche dont les populations du littoral vivent en grande partie; débarquant des hordes de bandits qui pénètrent dans l'intérieur et se livrent à des pillages de toute espèce, enlevant les hommes pour les livrer aux racoleurs de coolies, vendant les femmes pour remplir les maisons de débauche de la Chine.\n\nLà où régnait la plus odieuse barbarie va régner désormais, sous l'abri de notre pavillon, l'activité commerciale, l'ordre et la prospérité. Déjà, sous la protection d'un simple poste que nous avons conservé à Haï-phuong, à l'embouchure du fleuve du Tonkin, un immense marché se tient tous les cinq jours, où les populations apportent des denrées et des objets d'échange de toute sorte.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, les avantages du traité qui vous est proposé nous assurent cet avantage d'avoir à l'avenir auprès du roi Tu-Duc un chargé d'affaires dont l'action conciliatrice fera certainement disparaître les malentendus ou les dissentiments qui pourraient s'élever entre nos nationaux ou nos coreligionnaires et les agents du gouvernement annamite.\n\nQuant à l'Espagne, qui, ayant une injure à venger, avait été notre alliée en Cochinchine, \n\n## 20 Août 1874\n\n... ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles.\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nqu'à que toute crainte à ce sujet soit dissipée par la loyale exécution du traité.\n\n295\n\n## 6005\n\nLe rang de cet envoyé, les honneurs et prérogatives auxquels il aura droit, seront ultérieurement réglés d'un commun accord et sur le pied d'une parfaite réciprocité entre les hautes parties contractantes.\n\nCet engagement politique ne s'étend pas aux traités de commerce. Mais, dans aucun cas, le gouvernement de Sa Majesté le roi de l'Annam ne pourra faire avec une nation, quelle qu'elle soit, de traité de commerce en désaccord avec celui conclu entre la France et le royaume d'Annam, et sans en avoir préalablement informé le Gouvernement français.\n\n**Art. 4.** Son Excellence le Président de la République française s'engage à faire détruire les registres et le dénombrement des chrétiens faits depuis...\n\nDo\n- cent canons de sept à seize centimètres de diamètre approvisionnés à deux cents coups par pièce;\n- mille cartouches.\n- De mille fusils à tabatière et de cinq...\n\nCes bâtiments et armes seront rendus en Cochinchine et livrés dans le délai maximum d'un an, à partir de la date de l'échange des ratifications.\n\n1° De cinq bâtiments à vapeur d'une force de cinq cents chevaux, et parait équipés, conformément aux prescriptions d'armement;\n \n... les articles du Thap Dieu dans lesquels des termes injurieux pour la religion sont employés.\n\nLes évêques et missionnaires pourront librement entrer dans le royaume et circuler dans leurs diocèses avec un passeport du gouverneur de la Cochinchine visé par le ministre des rites. Ils pourront en tous lieux prêcher la doctrine catholique. Ils ne seront soumis à aucune surveillance particulière, et les villages ne seront plus tenus de déclarer aux mandarins ni leur arrivée, ni leur présence, ni leur départ.\n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République française promet en outre de mettre à la disposition du roi des instructeurs militaires et des officiers de marine en nombre suffisant pour reconstituer l'armée et sa flotte; des ingénieurs et d'ateliers capables de diriger les travaux du génie; des hommes experts en matière de finances pour organiser le service des impôts et des douanes dans le royaume; des professeurs pour fonder un collège à Hué.\n\nLes prêtres annamites exerceront librement, comme les missionnaires, leur ministère. Si par leur faute une punition est répréhensible et si, aux termes de la loi, cette punition est passible du bâton ou du rotin, cette peine sera généralement commuée en une punition équivalente.\n\nIl sera assigné un lot de terrain de cent mètres d'étendue aux tombes de la famille Pham; un lot d'égale étendue à celles de la famille Hô.\n\nLes autres articles règlent les questions de douane, les droits de phare et d'ancrage, les frais de pilotage, etc.\n\nEn résumé, les stipulations du traité actuel auront pour effet d'établir entre les deux peuples un régime stable, sous lequel les liens d'amitié entre la France et l'Annam iront certainement en se resserrant chaque jour; aussi votre commission, après avoir appelé dans son sein M. le ministre de la marine et M. l'amiral Dupré, et avoir obtenu de l'honorable amiral de Montaignac et de l'énergique gouverneur de la Cochinchine les explications les plus complètes et les plus satisfaisantes, est-elle unanime à vous proposer l'adoption d'un traité également avantageux aux deux parties contractantes, et qui ajoute une nouvelle page au livre des conquêtes de la civilisation.\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\n**Article unique.** - Le Président de la République française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le traité conclu à Saïgon, le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam.\n\nUne copie authentique de ce traité sera annexée à la présente loi.\n\n## TRAITÉ\n\nS.

Le montant en sera versé chaque année au Trésor public, à Saigon, chargé d'en faire la remise au gouvernement français, d'en tirer reçu et de transmettre ce reçu au gouvernement annamite.\n\n### Art. 8.\nSon Excellence le Président de la République française et Sa Majesté le roi de l'Annam accordent une amnistie générale, pleine et entière, avec levée de tout séquestre mis sur les biens de ceux de leurs sujets respectifs qui, jusqu'à la conclusion du traité et auparavant, se sont promis pour le service de l'autre partie contractante.\n\n### Art. 9.\nSa Majesté le roi de l'Annam, reconnaissant que la religion catholique enseignée par les missionnaires est une religion utile, révoque et annule toutes les prohibitions portées contre cette religion et accorde à tous ses sujets la permission de l'embrasser et de la pratiquer librement.\n\n### Art. 11.\nLe gouvernement annamite s'engage à ouvrir au commerce les ports de Thin-Mai dans la province de Binh-Dinh, de Ninh-Hai dans la province de Hai-Dzuong, la ville de Hanoi et le passage par le fleuve du Nhï-Hà, depuis la mer jusqu'au Yunnan.\n\n### Art. 12.\nLes sujets français ou annamites de France et les étrangers en général pourront s'établir, créer et se livrer librement à toutes opérations commerciales et industrielles dans les villes désignées.\n\n### Art. 13.\nLa France nommera dans chacun des ports ouverts au commerce un consul ou agent.\n\n### Art. 14.\nLes sujets du roi pourront, de leur côté, librement voyager, résider, posséder et commercer en France et dans les colonies françaises en se conformant aux lois.\n\n### Art. 15.\nLorsque des sujets français, européens ou cochinchinois, ou d'autres étrangers, désireront s'établir dans un des lieux ci-dessus spécifiés, ils devront se faire inscrire chez le résident français qui en avisera l'autorité locale.\n\n### Art. 16.\nToutes contestations entre Français ou entre Français et étrangers seront jugées par le résident français.\n\n### Art. 17.\nLes crimes et délits commis par des Français ou des étrangers sur le territoire de l'Annam seront connus et jugés à Saigon par les tribunaux compétents.\n\n### Art. 18.\nSi quelque malfaiteur coupable de désordres ou brigandages sur le territoire français se réfugie sur le territoire annamite, l'autorité locale s'efforcera de s'emparer du fugitif et de le rendre aux autorités françaises.\n\n### Art. 19.\nEn cas de décès d'un sujet français ou étranger sur le territoire annamite, ou d'un sujet annamite sur le territoire français, les biens du décédé seront remis à ses héritiers; en leur absence, ou à leur défaut, au résident qui sera chargé de les faire parvenir aux ayants-droit.\n\n### Art. 20.\nUn an après sa signature, S.

        "content_text": "# THE DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30th, 1975.\n\n## PUBLIC EXAMINATION AT THE CENTRAL SCHOOL\n\nThe annual public examination of the scholars at the Government Schools took place yesterday. The classes assembled about ten o'clock as usual, for the purposes of being examined by any visitor who might choose to do so; but, as was the case last year, only a very few availed themselves of the opportunity of testing the proficiency of the boys in any of their studies. We saw several of the classes examined, and the pupils all acquitted themselves very satisfactorily. We do not know how it is that so little practical interest seems to be taken by the residents of Hongkong in an institution like the Central School. The boys are there to be examined by anyone who wishes to do so, and that only one or two should go there year after year for this purpose is neither creditable to the community, nor encouraging to Mr. Stewart and his assistants. If the same facility be afforded on the next occasion, about which there is some doubt, we hope it will be taken advantage of.\n\nAt noon, H.E. the Governor and Capt. O'Callaghan arrived. The classes were then filed into the Lecture Hall, or at least as many of the classes as it could accommodate; and when we say that the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth had to remain in their own rooms, and that barely half the number of boys in attendance could be present when the prizes were distributed, we think we have said enough to show that the Government ought to provide adequate school accommodation, and set about doing so at once.\n\nAmong the visitors present, besides a number of ladies, were Hon. J. G. Austin, Hon. C. C. Smith, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. Bramston, Captain Deane, Mr. Tonnochy, Mr. Russell, Rev. Dr. Eitel, Rev. J. O. Edge, Rev. Lechler, &c. His Excellency then distributed the various prizes, with a few kindly and encouraging words to each of the successful scholars.\n\nThe list is as follows:-\n\n### ENGLISH CLASSES\n\n#### SPECIAL PRIZES\n\n* Best Scholar - Lau A...; Morrison Scholarship; Translation - Fang Ashüi, watch, by Hon.

Aionco | dial | Government |\n\nHis Excellency the Governor then said: I find on reference to the returns before me that there were 529 pupils present in all during last year. There are actually in school this day 325, and the total that ought to be here, but are prevented by sickness and other causes, is 355. That I think is really a very large number of boys to be educated in one school; and to show the advantages which they derive from it, it appears that during the past year 165 boys have left the school. Some of these are engaged in various Government and mercantile offices in Hongkong, others have entered the Chinese Customs service, while many have been engaged by Chinese firms, or obtained situations and gone to other countries.\n\nThis fact ought to show all the boys present the very great benefits which have been and are continually derived from attendance at the school. None of those boys I have referred to would probably have been able to obtain situations or enter any of these employments but for the efficient training they have had here. I am very sure that all those who have left the school even now are thankful that early in life they began to appreciate the very great benefits to be derived from their attendance here. This fact ought to encourage those who are now here, and I am sure that in after years they will feel grateful for the great attention bestowed upon them.\n\nI would beg all the boys here not to judge of the interest—the very deep interest that I take in the welfare of the school in any measure by the number of visits I make to it. I am content to leave well alone. I know that all your masters do their duty, I have entire confidence in the discretion of your able Superintendent, and therefore I meddle with it as little as possible. But I know by results, by common report, and from those who are capable of forming an opinion, that the school is making very respectable progress.\n\nThere is one matter which has been mentioned to me by persons whose opinion I respect. It is a matter which I am unwilling to touch upon, but I have been asked to say something to clear up the misunderstandings that I believe are abroad—not very widely I am happy to say—on the subject of the absence of religious instruction at this school. I think it must appear to anybody of common sense, with the great number of nationalities that we have represented here, that it would be impossible to carry out such a thing with any good results. I can say for myself, and I think I may say the same for the Superintendent here, Mr. Stewart, although I have not consulted with him on the subject, that it is a great error to suppose that we are in any way opposed to religious instruction by itself.",

        "content_text": "(4)\n\nfrom Aberdeen Street. The woman now here, LAU-A-YEE, is that woman. I took her back to the house and gave her in charge of a Lokong. The people on the ground floor called to me and told me that some people had fallen into the cookhouse. I went into the cookhouse and saw the deceased(1) lying on the granite on her face, with her head close to an earthen-ware chatty, which I pointed out, and the bundle of clothing with a Chinese rule lying on the top of her head, or on the back of her neck. Close beside her was another woman lying on the other side of the chatty with her feet against the wall and her head out towards the cookhouse door. I had a Chinese candle. I took up the bundle of clothes off the deceased's head and turned her on her back, and there were no signs of life apparent. The other woman was bleeding from the face, and her face and neck were covered with blood. She was moving as if in great pain. I sent for the ambulances at once, and by this time the whole street was aroused. Dr. GOMES lives close by and he came to the place. I asked him to look at the deceased and he did so and said she was dead. When the ambulances came, I removed the women to the Civil Hospital.\n\nThe deceased was called A-Su, I believe. I cannot find out anything more about her than that she has been in the house two or three days.\n\nThe woman who is now in Hospital is called TAI-YAU, and was fined in November last for keeping an unlicensed brothel.\n\nThe woman whom I took to the Station is called LAU-A-YEE. She rents the upper floor. The deceased is a servant-woman in the house.\n\nThere were two women besides the three referred to in the house. They are servant-women. They are here now.\n\nLAU-A-YEE is in custody charged before the Magistrate as the keeper of an unlicensed brothel, and the case is postponed till the 19th.\n\nWhen I went up the stairs and climbed over the folding doors, I did not call out \"Police.\" I have been on the roof of many Chinese houses since I became Inspector of Brothels. I have never seen any roof, but that of 42 and that of 44, which had not a protection wall round the smoke-hole or area. I only saw one man in the house, the one who opened the trap door. His name is NG-A-KAN. He is the informer and was one of the men who got the notes to get evidence. I only knew from the informer that women had run up and I wanted to secure them.\n\nI had no knowledge of the existence of such a hole being unprotected. I believe the women did not know of the existence of the hole and simply ran there in their endeavours to escape.\n\nBoth Inspector WHITEHEAD and myself had suspicions on the house No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, for months. We had no suspicions on No. 42, Peel Street, until last night at midnight. I was then told something by the Interpreter and in consequence went.\n\nOur instructions to the Interpreter last night were to send to a house No. 258, Queen's Road Central, and if the informers could not gain admission, then to try and find some other place. We did not give any special instructions to go to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, last night.\n\nJonx LEE.\n\nNG-A-KAN declared, states:-I am a carpenter living at D'Aguilar Street. I am a friend of CHENG-A-YU, the Interpreter to the Inspector of Brothels. He gave me seven dollars yesterday about 6 o'clock. He told me that the Inspectors wanted to get some cases and told me to make inquiry about unlicensed brothels. I went with a friend surnamed CHENG last night, but we could not find any in Queen's Road Central. We went into a house in Queen's Road Central, over a district watchman's house. CHENG-A-YU sent us there. The people said it was a family house. I separated from CHENG and I searched about. I intended to give back the money. I met two friends MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN, and they asked me to go to Lyndhurst Terrace. We went to a house on the first floor about 9 o'clock. LÓ-A-MAN and MAN-A-ON had been there before. When I got into the house, I only saw three women there. One of the women only was a prostitute. I did not sleep with any woman at No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace. There was a girl brought to the house. A man named A-NAM brought her. I did not have anything to do with the girl. I engaged the girl at Lyndhurst Terrace and went with her to Peel Street, No. 42. That was about 1 o'clock. Before the Inspectors came, I had left Lyndhurst Terrace. The girl who is in Hospital is the one I had engaged. A-NAM came with me to the house in Peel Street. He said he was going to sleep there, but he was not going to sleep with a girl. I had not paid the girl, whom I had engaged, anything. I opened the trap door and let the Inspector into the floor. The women kneeled before me and said not to do anything, as the Inspector was coming. The deceased and TAI-YAU kneeled before me. They were much frightened. TAI-YAU said, \"I was fined $100 before. I sold my son to pay the fine, and you must not say anything now.\" That was before I opened the door. The woman now present, LAU-A-YEE, was there. She ran with the others up the stairs. I had never been in the house before. I had had some drink. I was not quite drunk, but I was under the influence of drink.\n\nCHENG-KAN-TSAI paid for the supper. He got money from CHENG-A-YÜ. I returned my seven dollars to CHENG-A-YÜ.\n\n根吳\n\nJ. RUSSELL,\nCoroner.\n\n(5)\n\n18th October, 1877.\n\nInquiry resumed at the Magistracy, at 4 o'clock.-Jurors present.\n\n476\n\nCHENG-KAN-TSAI, declared, states:-I am a painter living at Jervois Street. On the evening of the 16th instant, between 6 and 7 o'clock, I was walking with a man named NG-A-KAN, and went to CHENG-A-YU's place, 31, Caine Road. CHENG-A-YU asked me to get some cases for him, to find unlicensed brothels for him. We were to go and try a house in Queen's Road. We got money from CHENG-A-YÜ. I got $3 and NG-A-KAN got $7. We went to the house in Queen's Road over the watchman's and went upstairs. We had no previous knowledge of the women there. We stayed for five minutes. We saw no men there. We proposed to them thus: \"Have you got any women who have got time?\" They said-\"No, you can go.\" We saw three women.\n\nWe then separated. I was walking in Queen's Road. I met a friend called MAN-A-ON. I asked him where he was going to? He said to Singapore. I said, \"As you are going to Singapore, you ought to give me an invite to spend a night at a brothel.\" He said-\"Yes, go on, let us go to a sly brothel.\" He had a friend with him. His name I learned to be LÓ-A-MAN. They took me to an Opium shop, where we fell in with a man called A-NAM. We stayed a short time there, and A-NAM took us to a house at Lyndhurst Terrace, first floor. I do not know the number. When we went up, I saw three women there. I proposed that we should stay there and have supper, and afterwards have girls there. There was one man there. One of the women, named SAI-KAM, told me that there was only one girl there, herself. I said, \"Get two more,\" and a servant was despatched to get two girls. A-NAM was only a pimp to find us the girls. This occurred about eight o'clock. Two girls came about quarter-past eight o'clock. I gave a dollar to A-NAM to buy supper. That was one of the dollars that I got from CHENG-A-YU. The girls came, but only stayed a few minutes, one minute. They promised to stay, went away, but did not return. A-NAM himself went out to get two girls and fetched two at after eleven o'clock, about quarter-past eleven o'clock. One called herself CHAU-KIN, and the other called herself A-SÓ. Three women had supper. We had supper as soon as they came. We had for supper fowls, stuffed pig's feet, sausages, eggs, and about six taels of samshü. We drank three or four cups.\n\nA-NAM remained there and had supper. MAN-A-ON went and fetched NG-A-KAN about nine o'clock. LÓ-A-MAN said that NG-A-KAN might have his girl. We told MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN that we were going to have them arrested, and MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN said they did not want to have anything to do with it. They said they had no time to be witnesses. NG-A-KAN promised to pay for the women for them. I stayed at Lyndhurst Terrace with the woman who was in the house. I had not paid her any money.\n\nI was in her room when A-YÜ told me that I should pay the girl two dollars. She agreed to sleep with me. I had not paid any money.\n\nWhen the Inspectors came, I was told that I should pay her. I had not paid any money.\n\nCHENG-A-YÜ never asked me to do any work of this kind before for him, nor did I ever do it. NG-A-KAN was not there when the Inspector came. He left to go to Peel Street with a girl. He went with A-SÓ. A-NAM went with him. CHAU-KIN went away before A-KAN. She went with a servant woman. MAN-A-ON told NG-KAN to pay her, but NG-KAN did not.\n\nMAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN went away together about half-past twelve o'clock, when I paid the money for the supper. I told MAN-A-ON to go and tell CHENG-A-YU.\n\nTo the foreman:-My pay as a painter was 1 mace and 4 candareens per day. I am out of employ now. I have been out of employ for a year now. I sometimes stop here, and sometimes go elsewhere. I live on my friends.\n\nQuery. You spent $1, what did you do with the others?\nAnswer. I gave back the $2 to CHENG-A-YU. I did not expect to get any money from CHENG-A-YÜ. He is a friend of mine. I live in the WING SHING CHEUNG shop, Jervois Street.\n\nTo the Coroner:-I opened the door and let the Inspector in. She (the girl in No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace) was very frightened and asked-\"What is that?\" I said, \"Nothing, don't be afraid.\" She was afraid. She ran into a front room and concealed herself under a bed. I pointed her out to the Inspector. The Inspector could not see me in the girl's room because I opened the door.\n\n鄭簡齋\n\nNG-A-KAN recalled, and further examined, states:-We had about 18 taels of samshü. I had the most to drink, i.e., more than the others. The supper consisted of fowls, sausages, duck, pig's tripe, pig's feet, salt eggs, and plums.\n\nA-NAM is not here. I don't know where he is. I had nothing to drink when I went to Peel Street. I have been employed by CHENG-A-YÜ in the business before. I have discovered three places before. One last year and two this year. I was a witness against TAI-YAU before. I did not recognize the girl again. She called herself A-SÓ. She did not recognize me.\n\nA-NAM ran out when the Inspector came. He knew that my being there was a plant. He ran when the Inspector came. He ran away with the woman to the roof. I have paid back the money, seven dollars, to CHENG-A-YU. I got no pay last year, but this year I got $2, one on each occasion before as pay.",

        "content_text": "477 \n\n(6) \n\nTo a Juror:- I was formerly employed with A-Hó, HIP SHING shop. I left there more than a month ago. I am looking for employment. When did you return the seven dollars? I returned the money at three o'clock in the morning. I could get $5 a month, and my food for working at my trade.\n\n根吳 \n\nCHENG-A-YÜ declared, states:- I am Interpreter to the Inspectors of Brothels. I am paid $15, and have free quarters. I have been employed since the 26th June, 1876. On the evening of the 16th instant, I gave seven dollars to the last witness, and three to KAN-TSAI. I told them to go to the house No. 258, Queen's Road Central, top-floor. That is the district watchman's house. I had suspected that it was a secret brothel. The Inspector told me that it was suspected. Inspector LEE had given me the notes between six and seven o'clock. I watched. The men came and said they could not do anything as it was a family house. NG-A-KAN went away. KAN-TSAI and myself met MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN, and MAN-A-ON said he had a few Hongkong paper dollars, which were no use to him, and he said---\"Let us go and drink the dollars.\" He said this to me. He did not show them. He put his hand in his purse, but he did not show them. I did not say anything, but we adjourned to an Opium shop, not a smoking place. I had been waiting there, while the two men were in the house in Queen's Road, and we went back. I knew LÓ-A-MAN for some time. We were always good friends. A man named A-LING who came out from a room said---“Do you want to go to drink? If you do I'll take you.\" We were talking in the shop. CHENG-KAN-TSAI and LÓ-A-MAN, and MAN-A-ON and A-LING went away together. KAN-TSAI said \"I'll invite you.\" I said, if you get a case let me know. They went away. I went to the painter shop, Wellington Street, waiting, and I told KAN-TSAI where I would be found, and to let A-ON and A-MAN know what was intended to be done. A-ON came and told me about the case, but he said he would not give evidence as he was going away. A-KAN then happened to come, and I told him to go to the place. I then went and told Inspector LEE, and at 12:30, I went to Lyndhurst Terrace with the Inspector. LÓ-A-MAN and MAN-A-ON had given me the number of the house. KAN-TSAI opened the door. We arrested two women and a man. The man and women are now in Gaol on remand. Inspector WHITEHEAD took them to the Station. Inspector LEE, KAN-TSAI, and myself went to Peel Street. We did not know what house to go to, and the man Kan-Tsai called A-KAN. Somebody spoke from a house in Peel Street, and said he is at the opposite house. A woman said-\"I saw somebody go into 42, pointing to 42. We called at the house 12, 'A-KAN, A-KAN.'\" The Inspector then knocked the door with a stick. No answer. A woman looked out from 1st floor. The Inspector told her to open the street door. She came and opened. We went up the stairs. We had not yet heard A-KAN's voice, and did not know he was there, further than what we had learned on the street from the woman of the opposite house. The folding doors on the stairs which were pointed out to the Jury, were closed and fastened. The Inspector climbed over the barrier, and opened it for me. We went up. I called out A-KAN. KAN-TSAI followed us, stopped at the staircase. A-KAN opened the trap door. Inspector LEE and KAN-TSAI went up. A-KAN pointed his finger up towards the roof, and I remained on the stairs. I don't know what happened. KAN-TSAI has returned me $2. A-KAN gave me back $7. This was about two o'clock. I never employed KAN-TSAI before. I have employed A-KAN before.\n\nThe Registrar \n\nTo the Jurors: The informers get one dollar reward, when they get a case. General pays the money. I am employed by the Registrar General's department.\n\nBy the Coroner, at the suggestion of Inspector LEE:- When we went to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, was any remark made by KAN-TSAI in reference to the house of a black-eyed woman? Yes: he said, \"A-KAN, I believe, has gone to the house of black-eyed SAM.\" He said one of the girls belonged to black-eyed SAM's house. KAN-TSAI went to the house of the \"black-eyed\" woman first. The black-eyed woman said that the man had gone to the house which she pointed out.\n\n鄭堯 \n\nCHAN-A-SZ declared, states:- I am a widow and live at Canton. I came down here on the 15th instant, and went to visit the servant who lives at 42, Peel Street, called CHAN-A-YEE. We were old friends, and I stayed there, as I wanted to get some employment. On the night I came, there were the mistress of the house, who is here---LAU-A-YEE---my friend CHAN-A-YEE and myself in the front of the house. The deceased, who was a servant, was called A-SÓ, but I don't know her surname, and the woman who is in Hospital occupied the second room. Nobody occupied the third room. CHAN-A-YEE slept in the passage. There were no men in the house. On the night of Tuesday about twelve o'clock, the mistress got up to worship. I heard her, and very soon I heard a great noise. I was so frightened that I did not come out of the room. I was standing with A-YEE. Afterwards I saw the Inspector in the house. I was taken into custody with my friend, the servant A-YEE. She is servant to the mistress LAU-A-YEE.\n\nHer CHAN-A-SZ Mark.\n\n(7) \n\nCHAN-A-LOK declared, states: I am a servant woman to LAU-A-YEE of 42, Peel Street. The last witness calls me A-YEE. I was engaged on the 28th day of 8th moon. To-day is the 12th of 9th moon. I had a child of the mistress with me in the passage on the night of the 16th. I did not see TAI-YAU go out. I saw TAI-YAU come in with a man about twelve o'clock. I only saw one man. I did not see who shut the door. TAI-YAU had a servant woman of her own. We called her A-SÓ. She is now deceased. LAU-A-YEE was worshipping in the front room at that time. I did not see who opened to let the Inspector into the house. I saw my mistress and TAI-YAU and A-SÓ run through the kitchen. I did not see where they went. I lay still. I was frightened. I knew they were coming to arrest somebody. I did not see anybody praying to a man not to tell the Inspector. I did not hear TAI-YAU say-\"I was fined $100 before, and I had to sell my son to pay the fine.\" Some time afterwards I was arrested and taken to the Station, and kept there all night. We were detained all day yesterday till after the inquest. The deceased was about 40 years of age, I believe.\n\nHer CHAN-A-LOK Mark.\n\nAdjourned at 7 P.M. till 19th at 4 P.M. at Magistracy. Jurors put under the usual recognizances.\n\nJ. RUSSELL,\n\n19th October, 1877.\n\nCoroner.\n\nInquiry resumed at Magistracy this day at 4 o'clock. Jurors answer their names.\n\nLEUNG-A-YUNG declared, states:- I am a coolie employed at collecting rubbish at Lap-sap-wán. I have heard that the deceased was my mother. I identify some of the things shown me as the property of my mother. I recognize the purse, the measuring rule, and some of the clothing. My mother was employed as a servant somewhere in Ching-wan. She was employed in a brothel in Hollywood Road last year. I last saw her about twenty-four days ago. I saw her in my house at Tai-ping-shán. I have a family house in that locality. My mother's name was FUNG-A-SZ. She was fifty-seven years of age. I have learned from a woman who knew my mother that she is dead.\n\nHis LEUNG-A-YUNG Mark.\n\nJOHN LEE further examined, states:- The bundle which I have now shown to the last witness, is the same which I found lying on the head of the deceased. The purse was taken from her person at the Civil Hospital. The standing orders I referred to were those which I learned from Inspector PETERSON, who was then Chief Inspector of Brothels. The standing order was that any house which I suspected to be an unlicensed brothel, if I could get any man to go in and stop with the women, or if I went myself, to take the women into custody. At that time the cases were tried by the Registrar General. That has been the course of procedure. Soon after I joined, I recollect a case where I got evidence of the keeping of an unlicensed brothel at West Point, and I took the persons before the Registrar General, and the persons accused fetched a door to the office, and said we had broken it in. I recollect Mr. SMITH, who was then at the Registrar General's Office, said we were not to break, but simply enter.\n\nHas it not been the custom to report to the Registrar General, when you had reason to suspect a house being an unlicensed brothel, and obtain his authority to enter? Answer. It has not been so; but, in cases where we have failed to get men to stop so as to obtain evidence, and where a suspicion still existed, then we would report to the Registrar General. In that case, the Registrar General would summon the persons before him and investigate.\n\nHas there been any change in the procedure since the Magistrates' Court was made the tribunal under the \"Contagious Diseases Ordinance,\" instead of the Registrar General's Office? Answer.- No, there has not been.\n\nTo a Juror:- Has there been any order given by the Registrar General to employ the class of men like A-KAN and KAN-TSAI, and other men? There has been an order to get evidence, and it is known to the Department, because the Registrar General signs the bill which is paid from the secret service fund. I had no instructions in reference to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace.\n\nTo Mr. SMITH, Juror:- In previous cases have you had to chase the people on the roof? Yes; it is a common occurrence for the women to run to the roof. I have pursued them over as many as twenty houses. In the course of the proceedings before the Registrar General or the Magistrates, I presume it would transpire whether the pursuit of women on the roof had taken place? Yes, it would. Have you ever had your attention called to the fact that such pursuit was improper or illegal? Answer.- I have not. In a case tried on the 3rd November last, a woman got out of the front window of a house, and ran along the ledge and got away. That came out in evidence at the Police Court.\n\nJOHN LEE.",

To Mr. FRANK HAZELAND, who took the prize in the first class, (a watch presented by His Excellency), he said he was happy to give the prize to the son of a worthy resident of the Colony. Mr. HAZELAND'S father was for many years our Crown Solicitor, he (Mr. FRANK HAZELAND) was himself born in Hongkong, and all were aware of the intimate connection his family had with the Colony for many years. In giving him this prize, His Excellency hoped it would only be one of many steps in progress he would make.\n\nThe following is the Prize list:\n\n| NAME | PRIZE | DONOR |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Tsang Kit-fun | Morrison Scholarship | Morrison Trustees |\n| Hung Kai-shing | Watch | H.

If His Excellency will take the same reply from me now, I can give it, without hesitation or reservation, as regards the boys at the Central School.\n\n18. That more can be done at the Central School as it is, than is being done, to teach English, I believe to be impossible: that more could be done at the school as I should like to see it, than is done now, it would be impossible to deny; but, to reach that stage, the new school must be built, more accommodation provided, smaller classes formed, a stronger staff of teachers obtained, and a playground supplied as the most practical of all forms of teaching the boys to speak English.\n\n19. I have repeatedly referred to all these matters in my Annual Reports, but it is now necessary to repeat and emphasize them; and, as much evil must result to the school from the currency given to the impression that is now prevailing, I venture to request that His Excellency will permit the publication of this letter in next Saturday's Gazette, in order that this serious public misapprehension may be authoritatively removed on the earliest possible occasion.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\n**FREDERICK STEWART**,\nInspector of Schools,\n\nThe Governor to the Colonial Secretary.\n\nAs the Colonial Secretary was with me when I put the questions to Mr. STEWART about the amount of English spoken in the double class-room where there were one hundred and fifty boys being taught by three Chinese teachers, and about the amount of English spoken by the six hundred and ten pupils in the whole school for 1877, I should be glad if he would record his recollection of Mr. STEWART's answer.\n\n# THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH FEBRUARY, 1878.\n\n## GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nThe following Return, received from Mr. JOHN JACK, of the quantity of Spirits distilled at the Hongkong Distillery, is published for general information.\n\n| Proof Gallons |\n| --- |\n| Spirits manufactured during the quarter ending 11th February, 1878,..........................14,520 |\n\nBy Command,\n**J.

In Singapore, in 1877, I discovered that the deportation sentences in some cases were illegal. At first, Mr. Billings, the Attorney General, seemed rather slow in making up his mind on the subject, and, with regret, I allowed a deportation sentence that I suspected was not according to law to be carried out, - noting on the papers that I did so with reluctance.\n\nThe next case in which I noticed the illegality of a deportation sentence was that of an alleged juvenile offender named Chang tina-lam, and I thought it necessary to trouble Lord Carnarvon. As it was clear that if my view was correct, there had been a great many cases of deportation improperly dealt with by the magistrates, I referred to the illegal practice in question in paragraph 16 of my Despatch No. 44 of the 23rd June 1877, to the Secretary of State.\n\n\"Having so far reported on the enclosed papers and explained the course I felt compelled to take, I venture to ask your Lordship's particular attention to two points of some importance. The first is the interpretation I have ventured to put on Ordinance No. 8 of 1855, Section XXXI.\"",

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n\n## HONGKONG, MAY 13TH, 1879\n\n### DEPARTURE OF GENERAL GRANT\n\nAt ten o'clock yesterday morning a deputation from the Chinese community, consisting of Messrs. Ng Choy, Leung On, Fang Tang, Hop Koe, Ho Amei, Lee Sing, and Chong Tsin Yeong, waited upon General Grant at Government House, to present him with an address previous to his departure.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor introduced the deputation to General Grant, and the Hon. A. E. Bois, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer, A.D.C., were also present.\n\nMr. Ng Choy, who had been deputed to present the address, began by saying a few words regretting that, owing to the time necessarily taken in preparing it, they had been unable to wait sooner upon the General for the purpose of presentation. He then handed him the address and read the translation of it, as follows:-\n\n**(Translation)**\n\nTo General Ulysses S. Grant, late President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.\n\nOn the occasion of your honouring Hongkong with your presence we, the undersigned, on behalf of the Chinese Community, approach you to give you a hearty welcome and beg to present to you an address expressive of our high esteem and respect for you.\n\nDuring your Presidency, your great name and noble qualities were well known far and wide, and by the carrying out of laws and respect from you commanded admiration from all classes of people under your rule, we have been delighted to learn that in international questions you have shown a spirit of impartiality and fairness, treating Americans and Foreigners alike, and the Chinese who have been trading in the United States have sung, and continue to sing, praises of the many good actions done by you while in office. We had longed to see you, but being far away we were hitherto not permitted to realize our wish. Now that you have honoured us with a visit, we avail ourselves of the opportunity to present you with a scroll inscribed with these four words \"Benefit to Chinese People\" which we hope may serve as a souvenir of your interview with the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nNg Choy  \nO Man Chai  \nKwok Aubeong  \nChing Sing Yeong  \nWong Kwau Tong  \nLoong On  \nKon Moon Walt  \nChum Sui Shug  \nSee mee Sang Kai  \ning Sart Yeong  \nYo Wni San  \nPan Fong Poo  \nPow Chung Hung  \nCha Sit Chuen  \nPoon Chi Kai  \nLee Sing  \nHo Amei  \nLeo Tuck Chong  \nFung Tang  \nChow Shing Lam  \nTung Ting Kam  \nLoo Lai Pang  \nWong Yu Yee  \nLee Pun Chee  \nSay Yeon Man  \nMing Koo  \nTung Tack Chan  \nLai Hong Chunan Yuen  \nCheong Wing  \nWing Mow Cheong  \nChong Woo Chan  \nLong Cheong Chan  \nWing Cheong Chan  \nYa Sang Cheong  \nMee Fook  \nMesa Cheong Wo  \nKwan Choong Lung  \nTeu Cheong Lang  \nKwong Lee Cheong  \nWing Cheong Phing  \nTon Hing Lung  \nKwong Man Fung  \nChun Wing...

It will be kept by me as a pleasing memento of the Chinese community of Hongkong. In other colonies during my recent travels I have also met countrymen of yours, and I have found the rulers of those colonies recognising your good qualities of frugality, industry, and enterprise. Such qualities go far to account for the prosperous condition in which I see you all here. I am now leaving Hongkong to visit your country, and I am sure I shall see much that will be very interesting to me. For this handsome address I must again thank you most sincerely, and I shall never forget the kindness shown to me by the people here. I wish that prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.\n\nAt the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Ng Choy introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.\n\nThe deputation then withdrew. The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, an extremely handsome scroll, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long, with a rich deep border, exquisitely embroidered. The characters are written in Chinese. On the top of the scroll is written the address, on the right side is General Grant's name in Chinese, and on the opposite side are the signatures. In the centre are four large Chinese characters, viz:- \"Wai Kap Wa Man\" (Benefit to Chinese people.) The scroll was packed in a teak wood box.\n\nIn response to the invitation of His Excellency the Governor, the officials, naval, military, and civil, as well as a large number of the general community, assembled shortly before eleven o'clock a.m. at Murray Pier to see General Grant and party embark for the U.S.S. Ashuelot. There were present the Chief Justice (Sir John Smale), His Excellency Major-General Donovan; Commodore Smith; the Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting-Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, and Hon. H. B. Gibb, Members of the Legislative Council; the Acting Puisne Judge; Hon. C. B. Plunket; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Colonel Sherwin-ton, Assistant Commissary-General; Colonel Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Mosby, U. S. Consul; Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Captain Kasama, H.I.J.M. corvette Nissin; a good sprinkling of naval and military officers and a number of the residents. The police, under Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from Government House to the pier, upon which was drawn up a company of the 27th Inniskillings with their colours and band. Punctually at eleven o'clock the General and his party, with His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, arrived at Murray Pier, when General Grant gave his arm to Mrs. Hennessy while the Governor escorted Mrs. Grant to the head of the pier. The guard of honour presented arms, and the band played as they passed. Arrived at the steps, the General and his party exchanged adieux with those present, and as they stepped into the Government launch Mr. Hennessy called for three cheers for General Grant, which invitation was warmly responded to, and one cheer more for Mrs. Grant added. His Excellency the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., and Dy. Paymaster Eastlake accompanied the party to the Ashuelot. As the launch steamed away from the pier the band of the 27th played their Farewell March to Gosport, which included \"Over the Sea\" and \"Good bye, Sweetheart.\" On passing the Spanish gunboat Marques del Duero, and the German corvette Luise, the marines on both vessels were drawn up and saluted the launch, the band on the Luise playing \"Hail Columbia.\" Captain Mortimer L. Johnson, the new commander of the Ashuelot, received the General and party on board and conducted them to the hurricane deck, where there were in waiting Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, Admiral Polo (Spanish Navy), Captain Sobering (H.I.G.M. Navy), Dr. Von der Horck, and Mrs. Eastlake. After the final farewells had been taken, the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer left in the Government launch. On His Excellency leaving the Ashuelot he was saluted by that vessel. The Ashuelot shortly afterwards left for Swatow.\n\nMr. Afong, the photographer, has taken an excellent view of the embarkation.\n\nPage 338",

The sum of $40 was made up by $10 from Chan Lai ham and $10 from Lau Shun Lung, both repaying what they owed to me; the other $20 came from Chung King kam and Lau Sui Cheung, as stated before. I repaid Lau Wai Kam in June 1878 when he asked me to repay him and I repaid the others in the presence of Mr. Eitel on Monday, the 20th January 1879.

        "content_text": "(3455 141)\n\nAlthough I pressed the Viceroy to state the precise date on which His Excellency would arrive at Hongkong, he declined to do so on the ground that he did not wish to put His Excellency, the Governor to trouble any on his account.\n\nI have &c. (signed) A. W. Bewlet,\n\n**VISIT TO HONGKONG OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL LAU KWAN-YIH**\n\nThe following is extracted from the report in the \"Daily Press.\"\n\nThe visit which His Excellency LAU KWAN-YIH, late Viceroy of Kwangtung and Kwangsi and Viceroy elect of the Two Kiang, which term includes the three provinces of Kiangsu, Kiangsi and Nganhway, paid to His Excellency Governor HENNESSY on Saturday last, the 24th instant, is an event of considerable importance in more than one respect. Although many Chinese officials of high rank have on various occasions paid visits to Government House on passing through the Colony en route for some other place, this visit of Viceroy Lau is certainly the first instance in the history of Hongkong in which a Chinese dignitary of such high rank has gone out of his way to come expressly and signalize his personal friendship with an English Governor and his sense of the entente cordiale between the Hongkong and Canton Governments. It is evident that Chinese officials consider that the position which Governor HENNESSY has all along taken in his relations to the Chinese Government as well as to the Chinese population of this Colony, has materially contributed towards cementing the friendship happily existing between England and China. The Marquis of TSENG gave utterance to this feeling on his passing through Hongkong en route for London. CHUNG HOW repeated the same sentiment on his visit to Government House a few weeks ago; whilst LI HUNG-CHANG and TING YIH-CH'ANG have in private correspondence expressed in similar terms their recognition of the attitude Mr. HENNESSY has taken in Chinese affairs.\n\nLast Friday night, shortly before midnight, Viceroy Lau arrived in harbour, without previous announcement of any sort, direct from Canton, accompanied by a small flotilla of gunboats. Early on Saturday morning he sent word to Government House that, having handed over the seals of office to his successor in the Vice-royalty of the Two Kwang provinces, and not yet having taken over the seals of the Vice-royalty of the three provinces of Central China to which he had been appointed, he availed himself of the only spare day he had before his official departure from Canton, to come in person to Hongkong in order to reciprocate the feelings of personal friendship which had sprung up between Governor HENNESSY and himself since his tenure of office in Canton, and to thank him for the great influence which his Chinese policy in Hongkong has exercised towards cementing the good relations existing between the Governments of China and England. His Excellency the Governor sent Major PALMER, A.D.C., at once on board, to arrange the time and place of landing, and twelve o'clock was fixed as the time when Viceroy Lau was to land at Murray Pier. The Commandant of the neighbouring town of Kaulung, Colonel Lai, applied for and received permission to land a company of Chinese marines at the pier, to act as escort to the Viceroy. Half a dozen Chinese military officers of the Viceroy's staff landed their strangely caparisoned steeds and awaited the landing of their chief. This drew a large crowd of Chinese spectators, although the population were generally unaware of the arrival of the Viceroy, the Chinese papers of Saturday morning having announced that Viceroy Lau would pass through Hongkong the following week on his way to Peking. Owing to the presence of the Chinese marines and military officers, who crowded the pier, the guard of honour furnished by Her Majesty's 27th Inniskillings drew up at the corner of Murray Barracks, to salute the distinguished visitor. A few minutes before noon, the Viceroy landed at Murray Pier, where Major PALMER, R.E., A.D.C., Dr. EITEL, the Governor's Chinese Secretary, and the Canton Commissioner of Customs were in waiting. As His Excellency left the Tsing-po, a salute was fired from H.M.S. Victor Emanuel, and on landing he was received with a salute from the Royal Artillery at the Wellington Battery. The Viceroy was accompanied by his Aides-de-Camp, Colonel LAI, and Major U TA-SHING and his interpreter, Mr. SIEH YAO-KWANG, Acting Assistant Magistrate of the Nam Hoi District. Sedan...",

I need hardly say that no one in this Colony is better qualified than Dr. EITEL to test the proficiency of scholars. It affords me peculiar gratification to be present here to-day to take part with all of you in seeing the result of the instruction given by the Christian Brothers. As his Lordship has said, it is the first time that this school has come under our Government grant-in-aid system although that system was established in 1873. The difficulties to which his Lordship referred have been happily surmounted, and Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in the decision he gave, has caused universal satisfaction throughout the Colony to the School managers and the parents of the pupils.\n\nIt is true his predecessor, Lord CARNARVON, addressed to me a despatch desiring me to ask the Bishop how it came to pass that in this Colony the Roman Catholic schools were not accepting any aid from the Government. Accordingly, a letter was addressed to the Bishop conveying the instructions I had received from Lord CARNARVON. The Bishop, in answering, went minutely into the objections that he and other managers of schools took to the grant-in-aid scheme, for it did so happen that he did not stand alone in the objections that he raised to it. At the very same time that his Lordship objected to the scheme as it then stood, the head of the Berlin Mission, Pastor KLITZKE, his successor during his absence, Pastor Louis, and our late Colonial Chaplain, Mr. Kron, also came to me and stated their objections to the scheme. Those objections were reduced to writing and duly transmitted by me to Her Majesty's Government. They turned mainly on one point, that the scheme insisted that certain books to be used in the schools should be secular books and that four hours a day should be given to purely secular instruction. They said, \"Let us teach our schools as we ourselves and the parents of the children think best, teaching according to the standards fixed upon by the Government; let the Government select the subjects, let Government select its own Inspectors and Examiners and give the grant-in-aid according to the result of their inspection and examination, but do not tie us down to any specified class of books or four hours of secular teaching.\" Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH considered these objections, and of the ten points raised by the Bishop, he instructed me to grant seven, the other three being points of a different character, one of them relating to the two hundred attendances. I shall convey to the Secretary of State the cordial acknowledgments which the Bishop has made publicly to-day to Her Majesty's Government for what Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has done. I shall also not fail to consider most carefully the Bishop's observations with respect to the two hundred attendances. It is a fact that at Singapore there is a different rule, and indeed the rule in England also on that subject is different. It is also, perhaps, a reasonable statement to make that whilst it may be perfectly fair to expect two hundred attendances from a Chinese boy, to expect the same from a European boy in this climate may not be equally fair. However, I shall consider that question.\n\nThe school we are now assembled in is therefore enjoying a grant-in-aid, and the question arises, what does the Government get from this school, what advantage will Her Majesty's Government derive from the grant-in-aid given in this and similar institutions? I admit at once it is the duty of the State to assist education, but I think it is especially our duty in this Colony to assist in giving a sound English education. It was therefore satisfactory to see that the young gentleman who read out the list of prizes so clearly got a first prize. His correct enunciation showed how well he deserves it. Dr. EITEL has reported that as far as English speaking goes, of all the schools he has been examining he regards this as the best; in arithmetic, he reports highly of his examination, and also in the art of handwriting. In other words, the English speaking, the writing, and the arithmetic in this school show a sound basis for our mercantile requirements. The Inspector has also reported that the results of the teaching in Algebra and Geometry are excellent. But there is one defect to which I venture, as I have received a report on the subject officially, to call the attention of the teachers, and that is in English Composition. Now, it arises, I believe, not so much from the fault of the teachers as from the fact that the pupils are mostly young gentlemen of the Portuguese race. I observe my friend Mr. LOUREIRO, the Portuguese Consul, here. He sees a majority of apparently Portuguese youth in this school; but I claim them from him as British subjects, because, although they are of the Portuguese race, they have been born in the Colony and therefore it is only their fathers or grandfathers he has charge of; I have official charge of these young gentlemen.\n\nIn the address which my young friend ALMADA read, I have been invited to give the scholars advice. Acting on that invitation, I therefore recommend that they should endeavour of all things to improve their English Composition. We all know what admirable clerks the young Portuguese make, we know how accurately they keep their accounts, how clear is their handwriting; and we know their other good points—fidelity, punctuality, and the courtesy that arises from a natural disposition to please—but they are defective in English Composition, and it is a most important thing in this Colony that they should pay attention to it, and that in this respect they should show they are equal to any other youths in Hongkong. I would therefore advise them to establish some organisation or society among themselves where they might read little essays in English and discuss them, and also to endeavour to form a library of English authors, not so much of instructive as of entertaining books; by reading these books and writing essays they might gain the skill they require in English Composition. I am sure in giving that advice, from what I have seen of the prizes to-day, I am only doing what the donors of the prizes would like. I find among the prizes some contributed by Dr. STEWART, the Head Master of the Central School, and all the prizes he has given are prizes pointing in that direction, to the teaching and studying of English.\n\nOwing to the munificence of my generous friend, Mr. BELILIOS, there is established in this Colony now a series of scholarships. The Honourable Mr. RYRIE, Dr. EITEL, and the Governor of the Colony are the trustees of the `BELILIOS Scholarships`. Some of these will be devoted to giving medical instruction to Chinese, which I hope to see accomplished by means of the native physicians at the Tung Wah Hospital in combination with a teacher of western medical science. Some of the scholarships go to the Central School; and some to this school. I advise the pupils who may compete for the `BELILIOS scholarships` to endeavour to work beyond the sixth standard, to remain a little longer at school, and to give their attention in the direction I have been pointing, namely, to English composition and English literature.",

        "content_text": "## 180\n\nI \n\nLiterature. If we have a number of pupils here who understand English thoroughly, these young men growing up as British subjects will certainly be as much entitled as any persons in this community to take a part in our public affairs and to attain to any position as mercantile men or as officials that any citizen of Hongkong can aspire to.\n\nOf course you are all aware that the number of British subjects in this Colony is now limited to those who have been born under the British flag. This Colony, unlike other Colonies of Her Majesty's empire, has no naturalisation Ordinance, but it has been represented to me by some of the fathers of these boys, that is, by some of the leading Portuguese, and by others in Hongkong, that it would be desirable to have a naturalisation Ordinance. Their views have been laid by me before Her Majesty's Government; and, in a few months perhaps I shall be able to say whether or not it will be possible for them to become naturalised British subjects. It was, indeed, in this school, two years ago, that the idea of reviving our Volunteer movement was first adverted to, and I now see present a good many gentlemen connected with that movement, one of them an English gentleman, Mr. Justice **FRANCIS**, who has always been interested in this school and who was recommended to me for a Captain's Commission by the suffrages of his brother Volunteers. No doubt there are some here who cannot yet take part in the movement, whatever interest they may feel in the Colony, because they are not British subjects, but I am sure they share with their children and friends loyalty to the Crown.\n\nI congratulate the Christian Brothers on the success of this their first examination under the grant-in-aid scheme. With the exception of what I have mentioned about English Composition, the report of the Examiner has been most satisfactory. I have no doubt that, next year when I may have the pleasure of distributing prizes here, I shall be able to notice an improvement in that important branch of education.\n\nThis is now, I think, the third or fourth time within the last two or three months that it has fallen to my lot to say a few words at schools or in connection with schools in this Colony. Not long since, an Honourable friend of mine who is present (the Honourable P. **RYRIE**), Dr. **ERTEL**, myself, and others assembled at St. Paul's College to assist in inaugurating a high-class Church of England and Protestant school which will be principally for European boys. That school, I am happy to say, has been well opened, and it will prove, I believe, a success. Last week I had the satisfaction of presiding at the distribution of prizes at the Central School; and it was only a day or two ago that, accompanied by my friend Dr. **ERTEL**, I met twenty-six teachers of our other Government schools, when prizes were given to the children of twenty-nine schools, and rewards to the most efficient teachers. On that occasion I found the interesting fact that in one native school where the Government allowed it to be optional whether the boys should learn English or Chinese, they all being Chinese, out of about sixty-one attending the school it ultimately turned out that in the cases of sixty, the parents elected that the boys should learn nothing but English. They thought that as far as Chinese went, their children would learn enough of it at home, and they felt the great object of sending their boys to a Government School was to have them learn English. I had much pleasure in examining some of those boys. I found them able to speak English pretty well; they were evidently making steady progress. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, the state of education in the Colony is briefly this, that Her Majesty's Government have sanctioned a modification of the grant-in-aid scheme under which all classes and all denominations can now obtain the benefit of it.\n\nAll classes have now come under it. The chief education difficulty that I found existing here on my arrival has been set at rest by Sir **MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH**'s wise decision. What seemed to me to be another grave defect in the Government scheme of public instructions in Hongkong - too much Chinese teaching and too little English teaching - is being gradually removed. I believe the scheme as it is now worked is a popular and useful scheme and will, in time to come, give a sound English education to the youth of this Colony.--(Applause.)\n\nAnother address, thanking His Excellency and the visitors for the interest they evinced in the school, was then read by Master G. **JORGE**.\n\nMr. **BELILIOS** then said - Your Excellency and your Lordship, - I am highly gratified and I feel greatly obliged to you for the encomiums you have thought fit to bestow upon me, but I think I scarcely deserve or merit them, as in my belief I have done nothing more than what any citizen is in duty bound to do for his fellow-inhabitants. I can only hope that men of means and capacious hearts will come forward to back up the little beginning I have made by helping to augment my little contribution and thus create material support for advancement of learning in the Colony-(Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, when I came here to-day I hardly expected that I should be called upon to address you on the subject now before us. The praise lavished on me has compelled me to speak, and I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without stating a few facts connected with the advantages this institution has conferred on the community. I landed in the island in the year 1862. The firm with whom I stayed for a short time had preceded me by a few months. On their way to China they were told there was a dearth of clerks here, and they therefore thought it prudent to bring along a Portuguese assistant with them from Singapore. This gentleman left the house after the lapse of a few months, thus constraining the firm in question to again import another young man from Penang. When I commenced business operations on my own account I engaged a Portuguese clerk at $75 per month. This young man was a copyist, a mere drawer of figures and letters. He was more a nuisance than a help to me. In the busiest of times, whenever it was found necessary to put a few words of English together, he would come to me and ask me to draft them out for him. He did nothing but some landing and shipping for me. Of course the older houses had their staff of Englishmen from Oxford and Cambridge, drawing large salaries, but the minor ones had to content themselves by having an hour or two of attendance from two old gentlemen who made a living by going about distributing their leisure hours at their disposal on several small houses here. Times have altered now, and competent young men may be found who are prepared to occupy berths at small salaries, consequently almost every merchant's establishment and every store can boast of a clerk. I have a staff of Portuguese clerks, and I am very much pleased with them. They are steady, attentive, and painstaking, and I suppose I cannot replace them by a set of better men. To whom is all this due? I maintain it is owing to the exertions of the Christian Brothers and to the existence of the St. Joseph's College. The older firms are commencing to employ them and they are finding situations in banks. I have no doubt that the time is not far distant when it will be found necessary to employ them generally. In landing this place of learning I do not mean to detract one single iota from the importance of the sister institution, the Central School. On the contrary, I contend that if this has done much, the other is destined to do still more for the island. This school deals with a section of the community, whilst the other deals with the mass of the population. I dare say the time will come, when a staff of Portuguese clerks and a European at their head, and, later on, a staff of Chinese clerks and a Portuguese at their head, will be capable of conducting large business establishments satisfactorily. When commerce and trade fail to afford large profits, it becomes imperative to retrench expenditure. In the principal cities of India, if you were to walk into large establishments you will see nothing but swarthy faces and turbaned heads hard at work, with perhaps one Englishman or one Eurasian to direct them. On inquiry as to salaries, you will be told that they range in rupees between the equivalents of ten to a hundred dollars. Education has done this for Indian, and education is certain to do the same for China. Men of business in future will have to be grateful to the managers of these two institutions for the benefits they will then enjoy. -(Applause)\n\nThe National Anthem was then played and the proceedings terminated.\n\n## GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL\n\nThe following is the list of the prizes referred to in the last Government Gazette as having been distributed by His Excellency the Governor on the 30th of January, 1880:\n\n| NAME | PRIZE | DONOR |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Lau Ho | Morrison Scholarship | Morrison Trustees |\n| **SPECIAL PRIZES** |  |  |\n| Best Scholar |  | Mr. Jackson |\n| Translation |  | Hon.

        "content_text": "## HONGKONG IRISH DISTRESS FUND\n\nIt is doubly gratifying to recall the generous assistance rendered to India during the late famine in that country, which saved millions of lives. It is our duty, therefore, on the score of gratitude and for the sake of our common humanity, to do what lies in our power for our fellow subjects in Ireland.—(Applause.) I am glad to see that the people of Bombay and other great Indian cities are actively and promptly responding to the appeal on behalf of Ireland, and I trust that the Indians of Hongkong will not prove behindhand in the same good cause.—(Applause.)\n\nThe resolution was carried by acclamation, and His Excellency called upon the Honourable P. RYRIE to move the next resolution.\n\nHonourable P. RYRIE.—Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, the resolution which has been in my hands is purely a business matter. You are well aware that subscriptions are proposed and everyone is willing to give, but an active working Committee is required to carry the thing out. I have now, ladies and gentlemen, to propose to you a number of names to form that Committee. I am perfectly certain that when you hear the names you will all assent. In electing these gentlemen you elect not only a representative body but gentlemen who will really carry out the object for which we are met to-day, and that is, the collecting of subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, remitting the money home, and other matters that come within the scope of a Committee's duty. I will now, with your permission, read out the names: His Excellency the Governor, His Excellency the Admiral and Family, Admiral Coori, His Excellency General DONOVAN, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMAL Adamson, H. H., Honourable W. KESWICK, Honourable No Chor, H. Lowcock, Esquire; H. L. DALRYMPLE, Esquire; Ahmed, H. E. H., F. D. Sassoon, Esquire; E. R. BELILIOS, Esquire; H. Horrius, Esquire; ADOLPH ANDRÉ, Esquire; Albay, S.S.; H. DE COURCY FORBES, Esquire; H. M. MEHTA, Esquire; J. LOUREIRO, Esquire, Consul General for Portugal; LEONG On, Esquire; R. A. O'BRIEN, M.D., Esquire; ATWELL COXON, Esquire; myself. The two ex-officio members, on whom the bulk of the work will fall, are R. D. STARKE and J. M. d' Castro, Esquire, Honorary Secretary; and T. JACKSON, Esquire, Honorary Treasurer.—(Loud applause.) A. F., I think, ladies and gentlemen, the selection is one that will meet with the approval of you all. I therefore, with the permission of His Excellency, propose that these gentlemen be elected as Committee.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and he thought the names must meet with general approval.\n\nThe Resolution was carried nem. con.\n\nThe Bishop—Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for initiating this movement amongst us. There is a naturalness in its coming from His Excellency, as the country we are interested in at this moment is his own, but in the matter of benevolence we know neither country, nor sect, nor creed.—(Applause.) I am very sure that His Excellency would have been equally forward to initiate a similar movement had it been for any other country, for instance, our own poor country of Scotland, which, as we all know, is very productive of rocks, but is happily not subject to famines.—(Applause.)\n\nThe meeting then terminated.\n\n## SUBSCRIPTION LIST\n\n| Name | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| ... | ... |\n| Brought forward | $3,357.10 |\n| Ho Hong | 5.00 |\n| clay | 2.10 |\n| foot, P. |  |\n| Barretto, E.

        "content_text": "The Daily Press. HONGKONG, APRIL 11TH, 1881.\n\nPRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS TO SIR JOHN SMALE.\n\nA public address was presented to Sir John Smale, Chief Justice of Hongkong, at the City Hall, on Saturday afternoon. There was a considerable attendance, but much disappointment was expressed by many who were not present owing to no proper intimation of the holding of the meeting having been made. The attendance included a large proportion of Indians and some Chinese, and most of the European firms were represented by their chief partners.\n\nThe Chief Justice was met at the door of the Hall, by the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, Mr. Justice Snowden, Mr. Hayllar, Q.C., and Messrs. Hoppias, Dalrymple, Belilios, Sassoon, Attonjee, and Braddon, who conducted his Lordship to the platform.\n\nThe address was presented by the Hon. P. RYRIE, who said—Sir John, I experienced much satisfaction when the pleasing duty was allotted to me of presenting to you the numerously signed address which I now hold in my hand and which I shall presently read. It has been my privilege to number you and the members of your family among my friends since the year 1861, and during that time the relations between us have been most cordial. I only regret that they are now to be severed by your departure for England, but I hope they may be renewed in our native country before long. That the departure of yourself and Lady Smale from this colony will be felt as a loss to our social circle, everyone I am sure will agree with me. Yourself and your amiable partner have done much to make residence in this colony agreeable by a most liberal dispensation of hospitality at your own residence and by assisting at our gatherings whether of a private, public, or semi-public character. As a most liberal donor to all charities and a subscriber to educational and missionary movements in this colony you will also be a great loss. In the Legislative Council, I have now been associated with you for fifteen years, and I am therefore able to state how conscientiously you have performed your duties as a member of that body, and as an unofficial member I have a grateful recollection of the manner in which you, from your seat in the Council, supported us, the unofficial members, when bringing forward views for the public benefit. (Hear, hear.) It is true that by an order of the Secretary of State you were debarred from voting save with the Executive, but, notwithstanding that, we on many occasions felt your sympathies were with us. I need not refer here and now to the performance of your duties as Attorney-General and Chief Justice. One gentleman, much more competent than I to form an opinion and more able to express it, addressed you yesterday in the Supreme Court in the name of the members of the legal profession in the Colony. That address I was very glad, and I am sure many here were glad, to read in the newspaper this morning. If you will now permit me, Sir John, I will read this address.—(Applause.)—\n\nThe hon. gentleman then read the address as follows:—\n\nTo the Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Knight, Chief Justice of Hongkong.\n\nSIR,—We, the undersigned Residents of Hongkong, desire, upon your approaching departure, to express the high sense we entertain of your public services as Attorney General and Chief Justice successively of this Colony.\n\nTo the administration of these offices you have brought not only high legal attainments, great acumen and a judgment ripened by long experience, but have been still more honourably distinguished by your strong sense of justice and pure sympathy with the right.\n\nMainly dealing, as the Supreme Court has to do, with a population alien to ourselves in race, language, and customs, the duty imposed on you of presiding at trials, both civil and criminal, protracted, and of the highest importance, has been one of exceptional difficulty. Of the success of your administration of the law, facts speak more than words; and in the increasing prosperity of the Colony, in the numbers of persons of various races who daily flock here to seek home or fortune, in the security of life and property, and the diminution of serious crime, will be found the best record of your services.\n\nIn looking back over the many years of your laborious career there is no matter which we feel you must ever contemplate with special pride and gratification. We allude to the attitude you have firmly maintained towards slavery in whatever form and however disguised, and the nefarious trade in women and children so often carried on in this Colony for the most infamous of purposes. The fruition of your work in this direction is not yet complete, but the policy you have done so much to inaugurate and carry out will never cease to be honourably associated with your name.\n\nOf your labours in the Legislative Council, of your connection with various public movements, of the sense of duty you have imported into all your public acts, we can say no better than that they afford a standard for all those who succeed you to be guided by. We now beg to bid you farewell, and finally wishing you a prosperous voyage and the enjoyment, for many tranquil years, of the repose you have so well earned, we subscribe ourselves, your sincere friends.\n\n(Signed)\n\nP.

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not. Under these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOHN GERRARD,\n\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS\nON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nI\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).---I am a gardener. I am going to Cooktown. I have paid my own passage; $32. No relatives with me.\n\nI have been a gardener in Shek-k'i. I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money.\n\nIt is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the \"Tin-i-tong.\" I have paid 50 cents for board.\n\nI had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from my birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).-My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing. I paid $42 for my passage to Sydney.",

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not.\n\nUnder these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOIN GERRARD,\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS ON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).—\nI am a gardener. I am going to Cooktown. I have paid my own passage: $32. No relatives go with me. I have been a gardener in Shek-k'i. I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money. It is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the “Tin-i-t'ong.” I have paid 50 cents for my board. I had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).—My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing. I paid $42 for my passage to Sydney.",

        "content_text": "Taken from the China mail of 24th March 1881.\n\nSUPREME COURT.\n\nIN CRIMINAL SESSIONS.- (Before His Lordship the Chief Justice, Sir John Smale.)\n\nThursday, March 24.\n\nPRISONER DISCHARGED.\n\nChun Lan (case No. 1), who was charged with unlawfully and by fraud enticing into the Colony a boy named Leung Awing for the purpose of selling him, but was found not guilty, was now discharged by proclamation.\n\nUNLAWFUL DETENTION OF A BOY.\n\nChung Achan, Chan Aman, Chan Acheung, Li Ayeung, and Lam A-Ng, were charged with unlawfully and by force detaining in this Colony one Chan Afai for the purpose of selling him (case No. 2). Three of the prisoners were convicted and were now sentenced, the other three were acquitted by the Jury.\n\nIn passing sentence his Lordship said :- You, Chan Aman, Chan Acheong, and Li Ayeung, have been found guilty of having unlawfully and by force detained within this Colony Chan Afai, a boy aged 15 years, for the purpose of selling him, on the 24th of January last. Three other prisoners were charged with having participated in the crime; although they have escaped, it is pretty clear that some other persons besides these prisoners took part in this crime. It seems that the boy, an apprentice in Canton, was met on the streets there by you, Chan Aman, and you enticed him to the steamer, where you, Li Ayeung, joined them, and all three proceeded to Hongkong for the purpose of selling him. Here the boy was kept confined in a house, shut in by you, Chan Acheong, and the boy was offered for sale to various persons at $17, and on his being subsequently offered for sale his crying attracted the pity of some humane Chinamen who informed the police. Here we have evidence of an awakening of public opinion to the enormity of kidnapping. It is mainly to this, it is not as I believe to any increase in the frequency of the crime that it is owing that these cases have been brought to the cognizance of the Courts. The sentence on each of you is that each of you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the term of two years.\n\nUNLAWFULLY ENTICING A BOY.\n\nIn case No. 4, Chan Alam and Lai Ayip were convicted of unlawfully and by fraud enticing into this Colony, a boy named Chan Ayun for the purpose of selling him.\n\nThe Chief Justice in pronouncing sentence said :- You, Chan Alam and Lai Ayip, have been found guilty of having unlawfully and fraudulently enticed into this Colony a boy eleven years old named Chan Ayun for the purpose of selling him on the 22nd Feb. 1881, and also that you did by fraud detain the same boy within the Colony for the purpose of selling him. In this case the boy was coming back to his home from school in the streets of Fatshan beyond Canton, when you Chan Alam his elder brother enticed him to a tea-house, where you gave him tea and then took him in a boat to another place where the second prisoner met you, and you both took the child to Canton and by steamer thence to Hongkong. Here you both through an associate offered the child for sale, but you then failed, and you Ayip took the boy in a boat for the purpose of taking him to a steamer starting for Singapore, but your conduct was so suspicious that Cheng Cho Yi, the boat-woman, took you back to the praya and gave you in charge to the police. At the Central Police Station your story was so plausible that you both got off; you persevered in your object and the child was offered for sale at $50 in a public manner in a public shop. Fortunately Wong Man In, one of the active agents of the Chinese Society for the suppression of kidnapping, was present, and he caused you to be arrested, and the guilt of each of you has been clearly proved. This case, whilst it exhibits the disgraceful attempt by a brother to sell a younger brother, presents two satisfactory facts, first that a Chinese boatwoman handed one of those prisoners to the police and that afterwards an agent for the Chinese Society to suppress this class of crime caused the arrest and conviction of these prisoners. These facts are indicative of the public mind tending to treat kidnapping as a crime against society calling for active suppression. The sentence of the Court on you, Chan Alam, is that you be kept in penal servitude for three years. The sentence of this Court on you, Lai Ayip, is that you be kept in penal servitude for three years.\n\nCRUEL ASSAULT ON A GIRL THE CHIEF JUSTICE ON DOMESTIC SLAVERY AND ITS RESULTS.\n\nLam Ayau, a married woman, was convicted on the 18th, of assaulting a girl named Chan Akun, thereby causing actual bodily harm.\n\nThe prisoner being called on for what she had to say, reaffirmed that she did not beat the girl. The marks that had been found on her body were the marks of some disease which the girl had. She admitted that the girl and she had not been on good terms. If she had beaten the child, she would not have spent so much money in curing her eyes. She spent a great deal of money in curing this girl's bad eyes.\n\nThe Chief Justice now sentenced the prisoner, and in doing so said :- You, Lam Ayau, have been convicted of having made an assault on, and having beaten and wounded Chan Aking, a little girl aged seven years, on divers days, especially on the 8th of February last, thereby occasioning to this young child actual bodily harm. It was proved that you bought this little child for $48, and you took her to live with you as your so-called servant. You treated her as your slave, an act which I unhesitatingly hold to be in itself a misdemeanour. Power engenders cruelty, and you habitually treated the child ill, and you gave way to bad passions and beat the child without mercy. It seems that through weakness the child wetted her bed in her sleep, and your passion passed your control; you took burning wood from the fire and burnt the child's body between the legs. The neighbours interposed and called in the police, and the child was taken to the Civil Hospital. Dr Marques examined the child at the Hospital on the 10th of February; he found two scars filled with matter on the front of the child's head, another big scar on the back of her head, matter there also; her left ear was bruised and the lobe of that ear divided; there was a swelling on the right side of the head, a scar on her left cheek, and there were marks of beating with a rattan on the back of the left hand and on the left ankle-joint and foot; the lower region of the abdomen and both the child's thighs were burnt; the child continued under his care in the hospital from 10th February to the day of trial, the 18th of March. She was in a weak state when she was admitted, and in Dr Marques' opinion it was from ill-treatment. Wicked cruelty is the natural result of the system of slavery, which it is said is found in every well-to-do home in Hongkong when the sense of power works on wicked minds. This disgusting, unwomanly cruelty must be punished very severely. The law has not contemplated such fiendish cruelty and has not provided a punishment sufficiently severe for the criminal. I now sentence you, Lam Ayau, to be kept in penal servitude for three years. If the law would have sanctioned a more severe punishment I would have subjected you to it.\n\nIn finally disposing of these three cases, with all their enormity, sources of satisfaction present themselves in the fact that in each of these cases it has been owing to the spontaneous indignation of Chinese men and women, that these crimes have been brought to the knowledge of the Police.\n\nPage 11",

        "content_text": "THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 26TH, 1881.\n\nTO THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM KESWICK.\n\nSir—The subscribers to the accompanying testimonial have confided to us the duty of its presentation, and in their names and our own of saying to you a few words of farewell. The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 |  |  |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW\n\n## CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OF THE CHINESE EMPIRE\n\nThe merit of the work is evident, and yet the author does not offend against the due reverence for his forefathers. How grand is the leading idea of the composition, emphasizing the sacredness of constitutional law! How clearly he distinguishes what is essential in the Spirit of Law, and how necessary it is to adopt the form to the changed conditions of modern times. He gives a good account of its sources, explaining its relation to precedent and to other branches of the same great subject. It is interesting to notice how guarded is the language in the declaration that the work is the faithful reproduction of former times, and yet without a slavish adherence to the mere letter, which would cause a loss of the very spirit of that which should be conserved and handed down without change of character to posterity. The argument is plain to show that Law is originally founded upon equity, and that the meaning and intention are to be held as more important than the mere letter and outward form. There is also a clear statement as to the wide application of general principles. It would be unfair to withhold the acknowledgment that the Imperial writer was sincere in the profession of a desire to be the Father of his Country and a Protector of the rights of all classes of the people. There is certainly a pleasing contrast, as has already been intimated, between the Emperors of the present dynasty and all who have gone before.\n\nFollowing the Preface is a List of the officials who formed the Committee, who prepared the work under Imperial Authority. There are more than two hundred names, the first of which is an Imperial uncle, brother of the Emperor Yung Ching; then follow the names of many high officials, Members of Cabinet, Presidents and Vice Presidents of several of the Six Boards, and eminent scholars.\n\nNext comes an Imperial Ode by Kin Lung, with a preface. The translations appended will suffice to explain their character. Attention will be attracted by the fact of the Emperor's testimony in regard to the superiority of type to wooden blocks, and his statements in regard to the invention of printing with moveable types. He was pronounced in his preference for what is new when it was shown to be a real improvement upon old methods.\n\n### An Imperial Ode, with ten rhymes, suspended in the Military Heroes' Hall, in praise of the \"Collected Gems\" (types) with preface.\n\nAn examination of the scattered documents and miscellaneous papers of the Great Statutes of Wing Loh (1403), and a careful search among the libraries that have been preserved in the Empire, shows not less than ten thousand varieties. These have been published in the \"Complete Works of the Four Libraries\" (Vide Wylie's Notes on Chinese Literature). The selection of what men seldom see, of what is profitable for the instruction of the age, and the hearts of mankind, and worthy of being a mirror for reference, these should be printed and transmitted as excellent, to teach all who come to make them a study. But the varieties are very many, and the cutting of the blocks is no easy matter. Kam Kan, the keeper of the Military Heroes' Hall, has recommended the use of living characters (types). In that case, the trouble of cutting blocks may be avoided. Again, there need be no waste of time by delay. There will be a saving of both time and labor to the advantage of simplicity and dispatch.\n\n\"It is found upon examination that it is recorded in 'The Pencil Conversations of Sham Kúi' that during the reign of Hing Lik (1141) of the Sung dynasty, there was a man named Pat Shing who made living blocks (types) out of adhesive clay; and in 'Luk Sham's Memoirs of the Golden Tower,' it is recorded that there was a man of Pi Lak (a place in the province of Kiang-sú) who made use of lead characters, but these were both inferior to wooden blocks in convenience. This was the beginning of type printing. It is to be considered that the body of those made of clay was coarse, the substance of those cast in lead was soft, and so neither were equal in excellence of workmanship to wooden blocks. Moreover, in cutting single characters to the amount of more than 250,000, although the number of varieties of books may be hundreds and tons, all are available for use.\n\nSo that it may be affirmed that, in the comparison of excellence, the modern mode is superior to the ancient. But the name of 'living character block' is not elegant; therefore, in the appended Ode, the name is changed to 'Collected Gems':-\n\n\"Searching antiquity, making researches for the Four Libraries, now all at once there are five carriages~(1). Beginning to print, thinking of after ages, there is an accumulation of blocks that might fill a house.\n\nThe Collection of the Tong College Chung Tip. The Remains of the age of Leung by Chan-man.--(2). Both were executed with types, used to print the Complete Works. Finer in appearance than the Crane's Crest, more abundant than the collection of the shelves of Ip.-(3).\n\nThe contrivance is easy of execution, no need of block-cutters, the work is doubled and without the trouble of copying. Matching shoulder pieces is a matter for precedent; the plan of moulding clay is coarse.-(4).\n\nDestroying the copper was a mistake to be regretted; cutting in wood, this shames me!-(5).\n\nNow again the work is completed and carefully collected.-(6). Completed copies are exhibited to those who come to learn, giving full satisfaction to every desire.\"\n\n### Notes\n\n1. Allusion is made here to the facts mentioned in History, that the Han Dynasty had large libraries, enough to fill five carriages when they were removed.\n2. Another historical allusion to large libraries.\n3. The \"Crane's Crest\" is explained in a note, which says: Last year, a book was presented from Kiangnan, which had Crane's Crest characters (that is a fanciful name for type), but the workmanship of the character was not good, and there were many errors in it. There is still another historical allusion to a large library.\n4. \"Matching shoulder pieces\" refers to the preparation of fur robes made of the finest pieces of the skins of animals. Some of them are very rare and of fine workmanship and so very expensive.\n5. Another note explains this reference, which says: During the time of Kang-hi (1662), an Imperial Edition of Ancient and Modern Works with illustrations was printed on plates formed with copper characters (type). After the printing, the types were deposited in the Military Heroes' Hall, for a long number of years. It is probable that some of the type had been stolen, and the officer in charge, fearing that he would be blamed, and just at the beginning of the reign of Kin-Lung, when cash was at a high premium at the Capital, so a request was made to destroy the copper type for coinage. This was granted. The gain was but little, and the loss was very great. It was a miserable calculation. Had the copper type still remained, would not the printing of books at the present time have been performed with half the amount of labor? It is very much to be regretted.\n6. Reference is made here to a misprint—the lower half of the character omitted, leaving the character \"fish\" instead of its intended meaning.\n\nIt is hardly worth while to delay to make any extended survey of the Plan of the Work and the Report of the Committee to the Throne when the work was finished, but they are not unimportant, and especially the latter is a fine specimen of Chinese thought and style, and would repay a careful study as connected with the subject in hand.\n\nThe next matter is the Index of subjects...",

        "content_text": "## THE CHINA REVIEW\n\nChien said, \"Pish, you are in a passion; let me ask you, you have lived ever so many years and how many men have you ever shot? You are eighteen or nineteen, but you talk like a baby; you make me half-mad.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"If I did kill him it would be only one life, and what is that worth?\" Hsi-chen said, \"You may throw away your life, but I do not want to lose you; I am over fifty, and I have been looking to you to get a good husband, who may be a support to me; by talking like this you hurt me more than I can express, now the thing is interminable, I can but hand you over to him, I fear all is not quiet, and think how hard this is to hear.\" Li-ch'ing was quiet for a bit then said, \"Your child has a plan ready.\" Hsi-chen asked what it was.\n\nLi-ch'ing said, **Out of thirty-six plans, that plan for departing is the best; why should we not run off to a hiding place, and you Papa take your child away with you, things having come to this pass.** Hsi-chen said, \"I fear your plan won't do, my child, for you can't get off; that Hao-chin holds military authority over the five walls and thirteen gates: 800,000 of the guard are there all under him; if he goes against me, I cannot escape even if I have wings; recollect of all the men he has wished to ruin only one, Wang Shih, has escaped; as for your military prowess, think of that fine fellow Lin Chung who was so bothered by him, that he could neither run away from his home nor get out of his country. He will but use stratagems against you, get you into the meshes of the law, and how can you guard against all he can do. It was well said in olden times, if the nest be turned over not an egg in it will be whole; when a minister with authority uses his influence, a man cannot say where he may die. My child I cannot let you go, but I cannot tell what will happen to us or where we are to go.\" Li-ch'ing at first kept her lips firm, but after listening a bit she got frightened, then said, \"You cannot mean surely to throw your child into that dung-heap; I am determined to confront him, and if I kill the brute my reputation will be made, but your child cannot abandon you, dear Papa; Jam your child-whatever you want me to do, I will do in the hopes there may now be no trouble. I only want you to be in safety.\" Thus she spoke, and then pearl-like tears rolled down her face: she bent her knees and wept aloud. Ch'en seeing that his child knew the truth, looked at her for a bit and then with a psha smilingly said, \"Get up, and I will tell you the truth.\" Li-ch'ing rubbed her eyes and got up. Ch'en told her to sit down and listen. \"You say to leave is the best plan, and in this you have guessed aright, I also think we must go, but it is not easy. The associates of Kao Chin are both obstinate and artful; you having got me into this trouble I fear he is sure to be on his guard against our escape, when time comes and we can't get off then the whole affair will come out. If we want to go we ought to go in a day or two to be any good, but it is difficult to arrange. I have to sacrifice, to burn incantations belonging to the live elements, which will not be finished for fifteen days; since meeting with this obstruction half my labour is nought, nor do I know how soon I may have another opportunity. I must act as he acts, and invite those creatures to a wine-shop and calm them down with honied words; these fools don't forget the mutter and design some evil against me. Kao Chin has already been my debtor, and has still a good feeling to me.\n\nHalf a month may elapse without his doing any violent act, or there being any need to look out; when that time arrives, I will fly to a distance with you, and what can he then do to me; this may be called, the calling for tallies when measuring rice plan.\" Li-ch'ing on hearing this said delightedly, \"Papa, how did you contrive just now to quiet him?\" Ch'en replied, \"I said that my daughter's disposition was passionate but that it quickly came round, that if I went home and spoke to her a little she would beg pardon for her fault to Ya-nui whenever he might come to my house. The creature firmly believed me, said he would be sure to come to my house to pay his respects and after saying a number of polite things he went off, highly delighted. Sooner or later he is sure to come here bothering, and when he does come you must act as I shall tell you. The beast, though cunning enough, is not likely to find out my trick, but will follow my path. Do you agree?\" Li-ch'ing was much pleased and gave a complete assent.\n\nAfter chatting a bit, a knock was heard at the outside door. Ch'en went out to look, the old woman also went out to open the door when she saw three men come up and ask whether Lieut. Ch'en was at home. Ch'en on seeing him recognized Fan T'ien-hsi, and on seeing the other two greeted Fan saying, \"You seldom come here, come in and sit down\" the three did so, and after ceremonies and each taking their respective places Tai and Chou noticed that Ch'en's eyebrows were like the outline of hills, his eyes were liquid as water in autumn; he was eight feet high, with vermilion lips, and thoroughly bearded all over his face with waving hair; he wore his hair done up with a date tree wood pin and a seven-starred cap: he wore a long crane robe of yellow bound round with a nine-skeined girdle; he wore curling shoes and he moved gracefully as a god; although past fifty he had not a single white hair. Ch'en said, \"What are the eminent names of these two gentlemen?\" Fan said, \"Both are called Li; they are two great friends; this one comes from Kwangsi, that one from Ho-hsing; they live with me and have come here to do some business.\" Tai and Chou said they had long known the Lieutenant by reputation, and it was an unspeakable consolation to them to be able now to pay him their respects. Ch'en told the old servant to go and get tea. Ch'en then turned and said with a smile to Fan, \"Why do you, who are on such good terms with me, try to deceive me? Do you think I don't know that this gentleman is Mr. Tai, of Liang Shan Po?\"\n\n## THE TANG NOU CHI\n\nThe three were much startled, and Fan said, \"I must ask your benevolence to us.\" Ch'en said, \"Don't talk about it more, but come inside.\" The three much pleased went in, and noticed the excellence of the blue pinewood furniture. The old woman brought tea, and Ch'en said, \"You go and look after the door, when I call you, come.\" She went out and Ch'en said, \"That gentleman I however don't recognize.\" Tai said, \"He is Chou-t'ung, but where did you ever know me?\" Ch'en said, \"Be careful; some years back I went to Chiang Chou on public business together with an official messenger of those parts; we were drinking tea at a music place when I saw you with a criminal dressed for going into punishment, a little dark man; a tall dark man was also there at wine. My dark friend pointed you out to me and said, 'That is Mr. Tai; he can go 800 li in a day;' I was frightened, but seeing you so tall wanted to go forward to have a look, but I was prevented by my work and could not act rashly; shortly the tall man got into a fight with a fisherman and I went away; hence it is I am able to recognise you.\" The three burst out laughing, and Tai said, \"I had lost knowledge of you; the man in prison clothes going into exile was Lord Sung, the timely rain-bringer who was then in Mongsi.\" Ch'en said, \"I did not then know who he was unfortunately. You two gentlemen have come here for some reason: what is it? Why has Fan come with you?\" Fan then read out the letter asking him to join the band which he had received from Hsu-hsing, and then said, \"These two gentlemen have just seen the attack made on your darling by Ya-nui; the road did not look safe, and they want to help you; but fearing Ya-nui's influence and that his friends might be implicated, and also seeing your darling had gained the victory, I prevented them by force from assisting. They are however still very uneasy and wanting to come to your house both first to pay their respects, and secondly to hear what line of conduct you intended to pursue in this matter: anything... \n\nPage 33\nPage 159",

        "content_text": "THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH NOVEMBER, 1877.\n\na way of dealing with them, and no anticipation of what might occur at Macao ought to prevent, when the time comes, from getting from the Opium farmer of this Colony that which he ought to be paying at this moment—a far larger sum than $11,000 a month. It was sold in March, 1876, for three years, so that it will be a little time before I shall have the opportunity of dealing with it.\n\nAs regards the other items—the spirit licences and pawnbrokers'—these are two licences to which I am giving attention, and I believe that, without in any way imposing additional taxation, we might be able to raise a larger revenue from those two. However, for next year I place them at figures somewhat less than we will have actually got from them in the present year. And before leaving this question of licences, I may say there is one item which has given me some thought; it is a trifling one, $1,000 a year we estimate receiving from licences for Billiard Tables and Bowling Alleys. A deputation of respectable Hotel-keepers came to Government House, and represented to me that of late years, Billiard Tables and Bowling Alleys had been established by Clubs—a number of gentlemen who join together to have a Table or Alley, and where a charge is made for the game, and those people have suggested to me whether their licences might not be taken off, or licences put upon all Billiard Tables or Bowling Alleys where the games are charged for. Well, I think it a fair subject for consideration. The sum is a small one; these Hotel-keepers pay largely in other ways; there is nothing in itself wrong in having a Billiard Table or Bowling Alley, and it is a fair subject for us to consider whether we might not, as it were, assimilate the law as regards Billiard Tables and Bowling Alleys, or strike off that licence altogether.\n\nUnder the head of revenue, we have \"Interest,\" that is the interest we receive for our deposits at the local Banks. We had, when I arrived in the Colony, something like $60,000 in the Bank at five per cent. per annum. I thought it well to sanction from time to time an addition, as far as it could be done, to the amount in the Bank; and accordingly, month after month, I have been adding to it, and the consequence is that we have now in one Bank at five per cent. a quarter of a million of dollars; we have $20,000 in another Bank at five per cent., and we have in addition to that, at the credit of our ordinary current account $39,000 at two per cent. So I may here tell you that, as certified by my Honourable friends here on the left, the probable balance on the 31st December, 1877, exclusive of the special fund, will be $277,800. In other words, you see that the actual balance on the 31st December, 1876, which was $134,000, will have increased this year to $277,000, or more than doubled.\n\nAn interesting item of revenue is that derived from stamps. In the Straits Settlements, the attention of the Government has been drawn to the fact that they are not obtaining from the Stamp law the amount of revenue they think they ought to get, and this has also occurred to the able and zealous Collector here, Mr. LISTER, and accordingly we have devised a scheme by which there has been established an agency for the sale of stamps to the Chinese. This has been in operation for a few months. I am also applying the law strictly to Chinese traders in insisting that they must use stamps according to the Ordinance. I don't know whether this is the first time any such prosecutions have taken place under the Ordinance, but the Chinese are now fully alive to the fact that stamps must be used, and the Collector assures me that by this policy we will be able to add $25,000 a year to our stamp revenue. It has been usual to estimate it at $100,000. The Collector says it will be quite safe to put it down for next year at $125,000. Since I established the Chinese Agency, and enforced the existing law, you may have seen from the returns published in the Gazette, that the revenue derived from stamps has been increasing every month.\n\nThe lighting, water, fire, and police rates are also increasing in amount. They increase with the prosperity and population of the Colony. There are other licence fees that constitute a good test of commercial activity, those derived from the licences for junks under Ordinance No. 6 of 1866, the Harbour and Coasts Ordinance. That source of revenue was estimated at $16,000 last year, will bring in this year $18,500, and I have no hesitation in estimating it for next year at $20,000. The fluctuations in the junk trade are intimately connected with the prosperity of the Colony. It was at one time supposed that the junk trade was declining, and the general shipping trade also, but the junk trade especially. However, on investigation it turned out that it was not so. The junk trade in 1874 reached a certain figure; in 1875 it was higher; in 1876 it was still greater; in 1877 the increase has still continued, and the revenue from documents issued under that Ordinance will be this year greater than it ever has been in this Colony. Therefore, I think, looking to the progress of the Colony, that we may fairly estimate a prosperous revenue next year, and on the whole, I think it perfectly safe to estimate the revenue for 1878 at $1,004,240. My Honourable friend Mr. MAY, Acting Colonial Treasurer, who is a capital man of business, anticipates receiving a revenue of about $1,000,000 this year, and he agrees with me in thinking it perfectly safe to estimate our next year's revenue at a little over a million of dollars.\n\nWell, gentlemen, this is the first time I believe in the history of Hongkong that any Governor has had the satisfaction of estimating the revenue at a million of dollars, and I believe it is also the first time that, exclusive of the old gambling fund, so large a balance has been in the hands of the Colonial Treasurer. I have here a list of the balances of various years, and this year's is in excess of the balance of any previous year in the history of the Colony. You will bear in mind that this is in addition to our revenue of over a million dollars. When we come to available assets for the expenses of 1878, we add our balance of $277,000 to the $1,004,240, and that will give us $1,281,240 assets, and that again is independent of the special fund. The special fund amounts to $380,000.\n\nPage 576\n\nAgreement of the Man Wo Sang Company. At present the License for preparing or boiling opium in Hongkong is in the name of Nam Lehen Mai who undertakes to fulfil the work.

        "content_text": "(Copy)\n\n( 22 )\n\nStatement by a Chinese—name not published.\n\nI have had the shop over 20 years. The two Permits to fishermen which I produce were obtained by my shop early this year. They were got from the Yan-wo Tong, No. 107, Praya West. A man called Cheng is the master. It was established this year. It is a Salt Farm. Fishermen belonging to Hongkong must get such Permits before they can salt fish. Each Permit costs 1 tael 9m. 8 can. — $2.75. The Permit holds good for a year and it costs the same sum at whatever period of the year it is issued. The Yan-wo Tong has 2 cruisers. They are not steamers. They give notice to the fishermen that they must get permits. Formerly they were issued at Nam T'au by the Pang Shing Farm. The Yan-wo Tong is a branch of the Farm. The branch was formerly at Cheung Chau, but it is now removed to Hongkong.\n\nThe Salt Commissioner of the two Kwang superintends the whole Salt Revenue, but he farms it out to a farmer. This practice of issuing Permits has gone on for many years. I have been 43 years in Hongkong and this practice has prevailed all this time. No fishing junks connected with the Colony can go beyond the limits of the Harbour to catch and salt fish without a permit. The catching of fresh fish is not interfered with. There are only cruisers. Both are armed. One is large. The other is smaller. They sometimes anchor off the Parade Ground and sometimes off Yau-ma Ti. The lowest Permit is for 100 catties of Salt at any one time; but permits can be obtained for any quantity at a proportionately increased cost. Permits are sometimes issued for half a year, or for any short period, but generally they are issued for one year.\n\nThe Permits cost more this year. Last year, a Permit for 100 catties of Salt cost $2. This year it costs $2.75.\n\nThe Staff of the Yan Wo consists of 4 or 5 clerks. I have no idea of the amount of money they take in a month.\n\n25th April, 1883.\n\n(Signed) P. STEWART,\n\nLI CHI-SHANG, Manager of the Yan-wo Tong, No. 167, Praya West.\n\nMy firm trades with Shanghai in mat-bags, sandal wood and sundries. It has been in Hongkong since the fourth moon of last year. The San On Salt Farmer is my friend. For the convenience of boats and to oblige the Farmer, I sometimes issue Permits, and collect the money, I do not know the Farmer's name. It is my friend Pün, living in Canton, who knows him; and it is through Mr. Pün that I do what I do, to oblige the Farmer. I believe the Farmer lives at Nam Tau. It may be that licences are, or were issued at Cheung Chau, I am not sure. I know licences are issued at Nam Tau. I know nothing of the two fishermen who presented a Petition about their fish. The fish was never stored in the Yan-wo Tong. I do not know why fishing junks connected with Hongkong should pay taxes to Chinese Government. I am only acting as a friend.\n\n1st May, 1883.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. STEWART.\n\n( 23 )\n\n460\n\nThe two fishermen from Shau-ki Wan who presented the Petition did not get back their fish lest it should form proof against the Yan-wo Tong, but they got $40 in money.\n\nLately I have heard that one of the cruisers took away a boat's nets, and a girl from another boat. They took also from a third boat about 21 piculs of salt. The salt was sold at Yau-ma Ti. I do not know the names of those three junks, but I will enquire and let you know. When the change was made from Cheung Chau to Hongkong, the Yan-wo Tong people went about among the Lans and gave information. Besides the master Cheng Tsun-teng there are three clerks. They have large quantities of Permit forms in boxes. These have been removed from the shop for the present. If you suspect my statements it will be very easy to get the master of a junk, say at Stanley or at Aberdeen, to get a Permit if you supply the money.\n\nI have been informed that the Mandarin at Po-thu Chau has beaten some of the men on board those salt cruisers for robbing people.\n\n[Asked how it came that no report has been made before, states], No one dares. Even I am afraid of getting into trouble, if it gets known that I am giving information.\n\n1st May, 1883.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. STEWART,\n\nLan, Salt Fish Street.\n\nI have been in Hongkong 25 years, I know that Permits from the San On Salt Farmer have been issued in this Colony to fishing junks belonging to this Colony for the last ten years. Formerly, it was done very secretly. Permits were sent here from Cheung Chau, and the Agent occupied the upper floor of a house, changing his residence frequently to prevent detection. He sent men round to the Lans and junks to let people know where he was to be found. I know the Yan-wo Tong was established here at the end of last Chinese year. Several Permits have been obtained from it by my shop. I do not know the head man or any of his subordinates.\n\nThe sum paid for Permits varies with the size of the junk and the quantity of Salt used. They are dearer this year than they were formerly. One that cost $2 last year costs $2.75 this year. The reason given is, that the Farmer has to pay a higher sum than formerly to the Salt Commissioner. The Salt Farmer lives in Nam Tau. I do not know him. Permits are issued at Nam Tau, Cheung Chau, and Hongkong. There are two armed cruisers for the San On District. If they find a fishing junk without a licence they impose a fine of from $100 to $200, and confiscate the junk.\n\nI heard about the two Shau-ki Wan fishermen who had their fish taken away by a cruiser. I do not know how the matter was settled. I have not heard of the taking away of a girl or of the taking away of a junk's nets:\n\n(Asked how it comes that this issuing of Permits in Hongkong, to Hongkong licensed junks, has been going on so long without any complaint, states). The cruisers are so powerful that fishermen are afraid to complain, and are too glad to be let alone by paying the fee for the Permit.\n\nThe Cruisers frequent this Harbour.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. STEWART.\n\nStatement of a Chinese dealer—name not published.\n\nThe master of the Yan-wo Tong is Cheng Tsun-teng. He left the Yan-wo Tong the day I was here (25th April). He is now living either in the Wo Mat Shop, or the Tak Shing carpenter's Shop. No permits are being issued for the present, but I believe they will resume when they think this has blown over. The Yan-wo Tong does no business except the issuing of Permits. About 20 have been obtained by my shop from the Yan-wo Tong since the Chinese New Year. My Shop used to get Permits for fishermen from Cheung-chau.\n\n* Cheung Chau is the Chinese Revenue Station at the West entrance of the Harbour.\n\n2nd May, 1883.\n\nInspector Cameron to Registrar General.\n\nYAU-MA TI,\n\n7th May, 1883.\n\n(Copy.)\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to inform you that on Saturday the 5th instant, I sent a man, named...",

        "content_text": "Hell among \n\nthe inevitable \"interviewers\" \n\nof the boat journals. One of them has published in his newspaper the \n\nenclosed notes of my recent journey. They are generally accurate, though imperfect both in suatter and in \n\n: \n\nstyle. \n\nの \n\nI \n\nannex also an \n\ntranslated from \n\nEnclosure \n\nextract Enclosures \n\nan article in one \n\nof \n\nthe Chinese venacular newspapers \n\npublished at Hongkong, which \n\ncomments \n\non any \n\nmy recent journey. \n\n5.7.13. \n\n(1) \n\nSOME NOTES OF H. E. THE GOVERNOR'S JOURNEY TO \n\nTHE NORTH. \n\nHis Excellency left Hongkong for Shang-bai on the 3rd September in the Indo-China Steam Navigation Company's steamer Po-sun. It seems that His Excellency had intimated his wish to confer with Sir Harry Parkes on several matters connected with the Government of Hongkong, in its relations to the neighbouring Empire; and the newly-appointed British Minister in China had invited Sir George to meet him in Shanghai in the early part of September. The voyage to Shanghai was very pleasant, and His Excellency speaks highly of the Po-sun. On arriving in Shang-hai, His Excellency Sir Harry Parkes, who had only just arrived from Japan, gave the Governor a pressing invitation to go on with him to Peking, where all the official papers required in a discussion on Hongkong affairs would be at hand, and where they could discuss more at their leisure the matters Sir George Bowen wished to be taken into consideration. After a stay in Shanghai of three or four days, during which Sir George saw as much of the \"Model Settlement\" as possible, His Excellency left it in the Koushing, on engage to Chefoo and Tientsin.\n\nShanghai very favourably impressed His Excellency, and he thinks it is thoroughly deserving of the name of the \"Model Settlement.\" He wired its fine bund, bordered with trees, its substantial and handsome buildings, its Public Gardens, and splendid roads; indeed Sir George even went so far as to say the bund reminded him of the Thames Embankment. Everywhere he observed signs of the advantages of local self-government; for the settlement is governed by a freely elected Municipality, which has complete control over the Police, the public works, and all other local affairs.\n\nChefoo, the Governor thought, had been aptly termed the Brighton of China. The voyage from Chefoo to Tientsin was made in the s/s Nancing, another admirably appointed steamer of Messrs Jardine, Matheson & Co.\n\nAt Tientsin, His Excellency had several interviews with the great Viceroy, the \"Bismarck of China,\" Li Hung Chang, by whom he was received with marked distinction. In the course of one of these interviews, an interesting conversation ensued. Li Hung Chang expressed himself strongly in favour of peace and progress. Telegraphs and railways would, he thought, be of great benefit to China, but in his endeavours to introduce these means of progress he had met with a great deal of opposition from the \"country gentry\" and the literati. Sir George Bowen consoled Li Hung Chang with the remark that he recollected when the country gentlemen of England, and the literati of that kingdom, were generally opposed to the introduction of railways. About the year 1835, said His Excellency, by way of instance, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the chief seats of learning in England, petitioned Parliament against railways being allowed to come near their cities. He had, however, lived to see progress overthrow all these obstructions in England, and he hoped that the next generation of Chinese would overthrow all similar obstructions in China.\n\nWhile Li Hung Chang is in favour of peace and progress, the impression formed by His Excellency during his trip to the North is that China is preparing for war, if inevitable. He witnessed the warlike preparations made at the Taku Forts, which repulsed the allied French and English Fleet in 1859. He was impressed with the present defensive strength of these fortifications, which are mounted with heavy Krupp guns. An American officer in charge of the Chinese Torpedo corps, told His Excellency that it alone would prove a most formidable obstruction to any hostile fleet. The Peiho reminded His Excellency of the Tiber—in its breadth, the colour of its waters, and the strength of the current.\n\nLi Hung Chang entertained His Excellency in Tientsin at a magnificent banquet, \n\nto which the British and French Ministers \n\nwere also invited. It was an admirably arranged and successful affair. Li Hung Chang's official residence is in the native city, but he has had a new Palace built in the foreign style on the bund, containing handsome and spacious drawing rooms, dining rooms, and the other appurtenances of a European mansion. The banquet was held there. About forty guests sat down to the banquet, which was served with much taste and splendour. The following was the menu, which was printed in Chinese and English:----\n\n  \n    BILL OF FARE.\n    菜单\n  \n  \n    Ox-tail Soup.\n    盒子牛尾汤\n  \n  \n    Clear Chicken and Duck Soup.\n    燕菜鸡鸭清汤\n  \n  \n    Hui-wang, baked.\n    \n  \n  \n    Honeyed Ham.\n    蜜炙南腿\n  \n  \n    Entrees.\n    \n  \n  \n    Fish.\n    生烧鳇鱼\n  \n  \n    Patés à la financière.\n    烤麫盒\n  \n  \n    Heroes Meat.\n    清汤仙来\n  \n  \n    Mutton Cutlets.\n    煎羊牌骨\n  \n  \n    Dried Bamboo Shoots.\n    红烧笋干\n  \n  \n    Aspic of foie gras.\n    冷冻鸭干\n  \n  \n    Fish Sinews and Pigeon eggs.\n    红烧鱼翅鸽蛋\n  \n  \n    Roast.\n    \n  \n  \n    Turkey with Ham.\n    火鸡火腿\n  \n  \n    Mushroom soup.\n    口蘑汤\n  \n  \n    Sweets.\n    \n  \n  \n    Custard Pudding.\n    洋芋头\n  \n  \n    Almond tea.\n    杏仁茶\n  \n  \n    Purée of Chestnuts.\n    栗子粉\n  \n  \n    Rice Pot-pourri.\n    八宝饭\n  \n  \n    Dessert.\n    \n  \n  \n    Biscuits.\n    \n  \n  \n    Fruits.\n    \n  \n  \n    20th September, 1883.\n    \n  \n\nVarious European wines were taken round after the European courses, and Chinese wines, and liqueurs in silver goblets after the Chinese courses. After the banquet Li Hung Chang proposed, through one of his secretaries, who spoke in French, the health of the two foreign ministers present, and the health of the Governor of Hongkong. They acknowledged the compliment, and proposed the health of His Excellency Li Hung Chang. These were the only toasts. The Imperial Chinese Band played during the proceedings. This band numbers thirty members, who are dressed in uniform and play the usual European instruments, under the direction of a French bandmaster. They performed the following selection very creditably on this occasion:--\n\n1. MARCH \"Mama ni lo ha t'u,\"....Biel.\n\n2. FANTASIA \"Lucrezia Borgia,\"...Donizetti.\n\n3. POLKA...... Zick Zack,\n\n4. CONCERT \"Redowa,\"\n\nLubitzky.\n\n5. CHINESE FANTASIA for \"Soo-na,\"...Biel.\n\n6. QUADRILLE.....\"Popular,”.\n\nA. BIGEL,\n\nBanda Director\n\nThe Band played \"God Save the Queen\" on the arrival of Sir George Bowen and of Sir Harry Parkes, and \"La Marseillaise\" on the arrival of the French Minister.\n\nThe Viceroy, in the course of one of his conversations with Sir George Bowen, mentioned that he was 62 years of age, and that he no longer felt the same vigour, as when he put down the Taiping rebellion with the help of his friend Colonel Gordon.\n\n\"Then,\" said Sir George, \"Your Excellency was born in the year 1821, in which the great Napoleon died. Nature abhors a vacuum, and has evidently created in you a new Napoleon of the East to replace the Napoleon of the West.\" The Viceroy appears to have been pleased by this compliment, for turning to the English Consul, he said \"tell the Governor that I place my steam yachts at his disposal to tow His Excellency's boat up the Peiho.\"",

        "content_text": "Enclosure 4\n\n78\n\nTotes 16 FEB 84/\n\nTRANSLATION OF A PROCLAMATION ISSUED AT CANTON ON JANUARY 4th, 1884, BY PENG YU-LIN, THE IMPERIAL HIGH COMMISSIONER IN SOUTHERN CHINA, AND CHANG SHU-SHENG, THE VICEROY OF KWANGTUNG AND KWANGSI.\n\nPeng, Imperial Commissioner, Junior Guardian of the Heir Apparent, Controller of Warlike Affairs in Kwangtung, President of the Board of War, and Hereditary Noble of the First Degree of the Sixth Rank; Chang, Junior Guardian of the Heir Apparent, President of the Board of War, Associate-President of the Censorate, Governor-General of Warlike Affairs in the Territories of the Two Kwang, and Joint Commissary-General; Yü, Vice-President of the Board of War, Junior Vice-President of the Censorate, Governor of Kwangtung and territories, Provincial Commander-in-chief, and Joint Commissary-General.\n\nPROCLAMATION.\n\nIn the matter of an order to organise a local military for the relief of antagonistic feelings.\n\nIt is well known that the people of the provinces of Yüeh (Kwangtung and Kwangsi) are of an unyielding character and by nature loyal and courageous, and that in the Red Ribbon Rebellion of the 4th year of Hsien Fêng (1854) (the rebels who ravaged the Two Kwang during the earlier part of the Tai Ping rebellion are alluded to. At first they shaved the head and wore a red ribbon twined in the queue. Latterly they joined the Tai Ping forces and let their hair grow long.) Illustrious services were rendered by the Eighty-Three Villages, who trained militia, and after severe fighting cleared the rebels from the region. The undersigned having received the Imperial Mandate to take in hand measures of Maritime Defence, have already reported to the Throne the institution of a system of local militia, and a Fishermen's contingent.\n\nA reference to the Provincial history shows that to the defences seawards of the Provincial capital of Kuang-chow, the nine districts of Nam-hoi, Pan Yü, Tung Kuan, Shun Tê, Hsiang Shan, Tseng Ch'êng, Hsin Hui, Hsin An, and Hsin Ning, are the keys.\n\nAt the present time when danger threatens from the sea, it is the duty of these nine districts to be animated by the same sentiment, and to fortify themselves by the union of a common resolve; to check internal treachery by the working of the system of joint security of Tithings, and resist foreign rapine by means of local Defence Corps. If peace is maintained, then by dividing for patrols and combining for pursuit, homesteads will be in security and the pest of piracy thereby allayed. If war is begun, then by guarding approaches and by the formation of a chain of defences, our renown will be enhanced, while military expenses are rendered needless.\n\nThe undersigned have learned that in the districts named, offices have been already opened, the tidal lands assessed for contributions, and a large number of guard-boats and patrol-boats collected, and that drilling goes on on dry land, so that at a given signal thousands of men can be assembled.\n\nA general order has now been issued to the Civil and Military Authorities to collect the managers of the various recruiting offices to continue drilling energetically, to use every endeavour towards a systematic selection and enlistment of crews for the patrol vessels, and the detachment of the latter to guard strategical positions; and, as regards the militia, to the collection of a force of men of fine physique and good training, to defend their native villages, and to be ready to be mobilised should invasion occur. For defending the provincial capital, for holding strategic points, for obstructing and intercepting the enemy, for following him up in the rear, for rendering services by successful slaughter of an enemy, for the burning or capture of his vessels of war, or for blowing them up by torpedoes, there will be a scale of rewards given without fail.\n\nOn the other hand, all persons who, as headmen of fishing stations or others, make this the occasion for dishonest extortions from the Tanka people, or cheating them on pretence of taking Play or License fees, and all persons who supply provisions or warlike stores to the invader, or who disloyally consent to act secretly as guides, shall be, on discovery, proceeded against and punished by military law.\n\nShould the enemy actually proceed to open hostilities and give battle to us, it follows that the wrong lies with them for not observing Treaties. All soldiers and civilians should devote themselves exclusively to driving away the enemy. With the remaining nations with whom we have commercial dealings, amicable relations have continued hitherto and no disturbance of these is permitted by outbreaks, which will be severely dealt with.\n\nBesides the issue of general orders to the various military and civil officials, and the selection and appointment of deputies for registering purposes in the different localities, it is incumbent to publish a proclamation on the subject; accordingly-\n\nIt is hereby proclaimed for the guidance of all heads and members of militia corps, that all should vent their antagonism, and show the good disposition with which Heaven has gifted them; that they should act in full unison with the naval and land forces, and that the militia in city and country should move together.\n\nIn the Book of History it is written-\n\nAs the people see so Heaven sees,\n\nAs the people hear so Heaven hears\n\nNever has it been known that strange tribes coming from a distance of thousands of miles should penetrate far into our borders when the minds of our people were united, nor defy Heaven by their overbearing aggression.\n\nWith regard to expenses, the regulations of the Recruiting Offices will still be in force, and with native resources, and by the help of native valour, may be safeguarded the lives and properties of the native population.\n\nFrom the spirit of loyalty and ardour comes a security as great as that given by \"walls of pure metal and moats of boiling liquid.\"\n\nExtraordinary heroism assuredly shall be rewarded by recommendation and promotion.\n\nSuch is what the undersigned earnestly hope. A special proclamation not to be disregarded.\n\nThe",

        "content_text": "The dozen or twenty guns there were on the front attacked by the French were placed in such cramped positions that they scarcely covered more than the country directly in front of them. Here and there, too, there were square wooden trough-like constructions run through the body of the wall, presumably called loop-holes, but absolutely useless except when a body of troops was unfortunate enough to pass directly in front of them. In addition to this, not even the best use that could have been made of the bad material at their disposal was obtained. The Black Flags seem to have handed over the artillery to the Yunnan or Kwang-si militia, and these men neither had the skill nor the courage necessary to serve the guns. It seems undeniable that if the cannon had been employed with anything like the energy which kept up the small arm fire, the French would never have taken Bortay, or at any rate, not till after a long siege. As it was, the fight here, though severe enough while it lasted, was nothing like the struggle at Phu-sa.\n\nDivided counsels no doubt helped the French greatly. The Chinese \"regulars,\" as they are styled, seem to have drawn off early on the morning of the 15th. Then Liu Jung-fu and the Torquinese Prince appear to have had bickerings, and in the end none but the Black Flags seem to have fought. Close to the west gate, where the entry was effected, there is a long street, constituting the Chinese quarter of the town and inhabited in great part by the leaders of the Hak-kis. Up one side of this street went the Turcos and the Foreign Legion and up the other the Infantry of Marine under the direct command of Admiral Courbet, who was one of the first to surmount the works. All through the second day the fighting centred in this street. Turning and counter-turning movements were made by both sides, but all the while the hardest work was in the centre. The Chinamen defended almost every house. They very early found out that the system followed by the French from the beginning of the campaign was to be carried out here. No quarter was asked for and none was given. So it went on till close on nightfall, when Liu Jung-fu's house was reached. From the extensive outline to be traced in the ashes and the pieces of ornamental stone and plaster-work still to be seen, this must have been a very fine building. With its capture the fighting seems to have practically ceased. The Frenchmen devoted themselves to the ransacking of the defeated chief's house, and the Black Flags drew off towards the citadel, which is not much more than two hundred yards off. What the value of the despatches discovered in Liu's house may have been has not yet appeared. The letters from Hué are at any rate of no practical value, unless they result, or have already resulted, in the beheading of anti-French mandarins. The import of Li Hung-chang's communications may or may not have important results. Perhaps the new reinforcements announced to have left France are not altogether unconnected with the perusal of these documents.\n\nWhat followed is long since known to you. The Black Flags drew off under cloud of night to the mountains which lie north and west of the town. The French entered the citadel early in the morning. The entry was, in true modern Gallic fashion, utterly unauthorized and irresponsible. A handful of Turcos and Estrangers approached the north gate, pushed it open, and entered and found no one inside except for wretched Annamese women and children, and 8 or so Scots of still more luckless youths. A flag was then improvised of a length of the red waistcloth of a Turco, the handkerchief of an officer, and a strip off the blue cummerbund of a Foreign Legion man, and the hoisting of this characteristic tricolor on the tower was the first notice Admiral Courbet had of the occupation of the citadel. Inside, the rice stores were the principal captures made. There was a certain amount of bar-silver taken, but the Chinamen seem to have carried the greater part away with them. About a hundred and fifty poulies were found, as also an elephant, since dead, and a small arsenal. It was obvious, however, that all who left carried their arms and cartridge belts with them. The French have made a clean sweep of all the buildings inside the citadel with the exception of a few of the better-class huts for the officers, the Royal Pagoda, in which the Colonel Commandant is domiciled, and the huge granaries of rice, which were piled up to the roof with grain and contained provisions for probably a couple of years. There is also a curious small building used by the Black Flags as a powder manufactory, with regular compartments for the saltpetre, sulphur, and charcoal. The French are tinkering it up into an arms store. There is no doubt that Liu Jung-fu showed good judgment in abandoning the citadel. Its conglomerate walls would even have fallen before the French guns and the whole garrison would have been trapped. It does not seem to have mounted more than sixteen or twenty guns altogether, and these, if possible, were more wretched pieces than the ordnance on the earthworks.\n\nThe French have cleared a wide space all round the front, and have driven wide open ways in all directions out into the open country, necessarily sacrificing the houses of the town in the process. This presents a most desolate appearance at present. Only about one house in fifty yards is occupied, and yet it appears that it is dangerous for a man to walk alone through the streets after dark. Possibly this state of things may improve later on, but it will not do so very fast, if we are to judge from the other towns in French occupation. Nowhere have they as yet more than a mere military grip on the country. They hold the towns, but nothing more. The Chasseur d'Afrique may jingle his spurs down the Boulevard Marty of Haiphong; the Turco may clear the streets before him in Hanoi; the ordinary line-man and his fellow of the Infantry of Marine may kick over old women's vegetable stalls and swagger about consumedly in Nam-dinh and Haid-anong; at Sontay the same thing may be done with impunity, but nowhere can any one of them go beyond the range of French guns. The Black Flags or pirates would be down upon them immediately. The wanderer would be fortunate if he was merely pelted with stones. The ordinary thing would be a spear-thrust, and a pint of nails and pebbles from a blunderbus might be anticipated with reasonable confidence. It will be a long time before the delta is really brought to a peaceable condition.\n\nIt will be much longer if the projects at present seething in the Gallic brain are attempted. You are aware that the idea is to surround Bac-ninh completely and destroy the garrison to the last man, even if there should be twenty-five thousand of them. Unfortunately for the garrison it would seem that the heights round the town are taken, this scheme is quite feasible. This swooping scheme is talked of here in the most matter-of-fact way by naval and military officers, by civilians and loafers. The argument is that it will be a most salutary \"example\" and that under cover of the scare \"produced,\" the French General Négrier is the man whom rumour points out as the leader of the attack - will make a dash on Lang-son, through the hills, and so close the gate from China. Lang-son should certainly have been taken long ago, but that does not mean that it will be taken now, either easily or at all. There are signs that the rains may set in early this year. There has already been a great deal too much for our comfort. In the rains the country between Bacninh and Sontay would be impracticable.\n\nMeanwhile everything here is at a stand-still, pending the arrival of General Millot with the reinforcements. It is a question whether he will allow correspondents to go to the front, and if he follows the advice of those now in power, he will not.\n\nPage 253",

Your long connection with the School, extending over a period of more than twenty years, has made you the benefactor of thousands of youths in this colony and elsewhere, many of whom owe their success in life mainly to your liberal education, wise discipline, and careful training. As Head Master you have laboured long and perseveringly for the school, sparing neither time nor pains, and it must be gratifying to you to witness the satisfactory results of your arduous labours in seeing so many of your old pupils occupying numerous important and useful positions in this colony and other parts of the world. (Applause.) It is no less gratifying to you, I am sure, to meet such a number of them this afternoon in this old school-room where we have so often met before, and to receive from them their personal assurance of their deep appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of your valuable services, rendered to them and to their fellow countrymen. I assure you it gives us all very great pleasure to meet you here to-day, and you will do us much honour and favour by accepting from us the small token of regard and affection we now present to you in the shape of a scholarship founded in your name. May you long be preserved to the service of your country, and to the welfare and prosperity of this Colony. (Applause.) I now crave leave to read the address:— \n\nHongkong, February, 1884. The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D., late Head Master of the Government Central School, Hongkong, \n\nDEAR SIR,—There has been a general and spontaneous feeling amongst your old pupils that some means should \n\nbe devised to express in some measure their grateful and profound esteem for yourself personally, and your most valuable services and work in connection with education in this Colony during a period of more than twenty years. The scope and value of your past services can only be adequately estimated or properly appreciated by those whom you sought to benefit by your learning, high personal example, constant kindness, indefatigable energy and wise discipline, and so we, who have been among the fortunate recipients of the fruits of your labour, wish to express our grateful remembrance and appreciative recognition in a becoming manner. \n\nThis is our object in coming before you to-day, and it is our desire in the first place, to give expression to the deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem which we in common with those of your pupils who are prevented by unavoidable causes from signing the address \n\nEnclosure \n\nC O. \n\n4283 \n\nROD \n\nor being present to-day, cherish towards you, and, secondly, to ask your permission to the founding of a scholarship at the Government Central School to be called \"The Stewart Scholarship,\" the funds necessary to endowing it having been subscribed for this express purpose by late pupils and scholars, who saw in this a way to give you a slight token of the honour and affectionate remembrance in which your distinguished connection with the School as Head Master for more than twenty years is held by them. We remain, yours very faithfully, \n\nHo Kai, Chairman \n\nWei Yuk, Hon. Treasurer Wong Yat Sun, Hon. Secretary Chun Shing Kong, Hon. Secretary \n\nCOMMITTEE. \n\nChan Shun Fat Ng Pai Wei Leon Ho Chang Sang Sin Siu Choang Lak Y Leong Su Kwong Yoon Mun Choy Chan Kai Ming Cheang Yu Koot \n\nLak Hing Nam Kom Cha Seung \n\nIru Yow \n\nHo Chi \n\nHa Pak \n\nChow Chu \n\nFung Shui \n\nU Lai Un Chan U Fai \n\nSUBSCRIBERS. \n\nChoy Tan Chong Tam Tsun \n\nHo Tsun Tsang Kit Fan Kan Shin Fo Chan Long Hica Wong \n\nApat Chan Achew Lo Aruck \n\nTip Ping Kwan \n\nWong Saik Chee \n\nTam I Nam Luk Tit Fo Fang You Lai Kau Lam Yat Chun Kin Wing Chan Pau \n\nKwan Chak Lam Leong A Than \n\nChoong Ho \n\nTan Kwan Un Chan Ree Kwok Chik Kan \n\nHo Kun Moon \n\nHo Tsink Sin \n\nTeau Ying Koa \n\nYoung Kit Chaen \n\nChan A Sang Kwok Yang Kam \n\nChan Wing Yim \n\nChan Won Fun Trang Kum Chiu Ko Chim Yuen Ho Ha Sing \n\nLie Yne Foong Choung Shing Chan Ngui Him Chang Shan Pang Ting Ching Want Hin Chong \n\nFILE YRG \n\nNg Yaoi Wei Sung Wei Took Wei Kut \n\nSoo Kwai Sang \n\nHo Fus \n\nTang Wing Shing \n\nHung Kam Shing Hong Kam Ning Lam Su \n\nLam Ping Young Fung Chuen Chan Taung Fat Chau Pak \n\nDr. STEWART, in accepting the address, said Dr. Ho Kai and gentlemen, I thank you most heartily for this memorable token of your good will, and for the gracious terms in which you have presented it. Those \"deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem,\" to which you have given expression in this address, I most cordially reciprocate. There is no portion of my past life to which I look back with greater pleasure than the years I spent at the Central School. When I think of the support which I invariably received from the community, and the untiring efforts of my scholars to profit by the instruction they received, I feel that I should be wanting in my duty if I did not avail myself of this opportunity to convey to those who treated me with such forbearance and confidence the assurance of my sincerest gratitude. But apart altogether from the honour you have this day conferred on me personally by endowing this scholarship and calling it by my name, I desire to assure you that it would have been impossible for you to have done anything which I appreciate so much as this substantial boon which you have bestowed upon the old school. I trust that those who may hereafter be successful in winning it will do as much as you have done to uphold the credit of the school, and continue to manifest the same feelings of regard towards it and towards all who are called upon to take part in the instruction of your successors. \n\n(Applause) \n\nThe company then adjourned to luncheon in an adjoining room, and a number of toasts were afterwards drunk, \n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR,\" in proposing \"The Queen,\" said-Gentlemen, as you all appear to have done full justice to the ample fare placed before us by our kind Chinese hosts and I am sure you will all agree with me there could not have been a better luncheon served on any table in any part of the world-- (applause)-I say after such a luncheon it is time we should proceed to the less substantial but perhaps more intellectual part of the proceedings. When I was asked by the old scholars to preside on this occasion I gladly consented to their request, partly out of respect to them and partly because I wished to show my sympathy with the graceful and gratifying mark of honour which they are paying to-day to my distinguished friend opposite, Dr. Stewart. (Loud applause). Of course it is my first duty as chairman to propose that toast which is the first toast in every assembly of British subjects",

        "content_text": "telegraph; and that the next generation will probably witness in China radical reforms, though, probably, most sweeping social and political revolution the present generation has witnessed in Japan.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant SM Bowen The China Mail. HONGKONG, MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1884.\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nA CRISIS has occurred in Peking the Empress of China has publicly degraded Prince Kung and four members of the Privy Council for their dilatoriness in settling the disputes in Touquin.' These are the words of the latest telegraphic advice respecting the position of the dispute between France and China. It is to be regretted that the names of the four members of the Grand Council who have been degraded by the Empress-Regent are not given, because if they were one could judge with more certainty if this strong official proceeding favours peace or war. Prince Kung has generally been classed by foreigners as a member of what may be termed the war party. If this surmise be correct, the telegram indicates peaceful settlement of the difficulty. The reading of the telegram in this light is also supported by the wording of the advice. Dilatoriness in settling the dispute is complained of, and the highest Chinese official at Peking—Prince Kung is President of the Grand Council as well as of the Office for Foreign Affairs—is degraded in order apparently that the arrangement of terms between France and China may be hastened.\n\nA well-informed correspondent, writing to us from the North some days ago, shows us pretty clearly which way the wind was blowing, and almost anticipates this important telegram. He writes: The summons of Li Hung Chang to the capital, as has lately been reported from the North, is a sign that the Chinese Government is waking up to the gravity of the situation. For the last eight months that eminent statesman has been in the shade. The running has been taken out of his hands by such men as Prince Chun, Peng Yu lin, Tso Tsung-tang, and Tseu Yu Ying, who have been doing their very best, in a spirit of ignorant conceit, to bring the risks and dangers of a foreign war on their country, but now that it is apparent what a mess things are getting into, he has been recalled to help them out of the difficulty.\n\nIt is a sign that fresh considerations will be imported into the counsels of the Chinese Government, but, at the same time, those that are hoping for a speedy settlement must not be too sanguine of this result. Li Hung Chang is too good a patriot to advise his Government to accept anything like humiliating terms, even if his advice were all powerful, which we know at the present moment it is not, but it is most probable that he will urge a re-opening of negotiations with a view to prevent any further advance of the French troops towards the frontier, or any demonstration against other parts of the Empire. The Marquis Tseng has been apparently left without instructions pending the result of the operation against Bacninh, but we may expect to hear soon that he is in communication with the French Foreign Office, empowered to offer more liberal terms than heretofore.\"\n\nNone understand better than the Chinese how to spin out a diplomatic fight after it has been brought to the very brink of a settlement, or how much mere delay and worry counts in their favour. In this case, if they can only induce the French to postpone further action till the summer is well advanced, the odds will be greatly in their favour. The heat, malaria, fever and mosquitoes will play sad havoc in the French ranks, and there will be a general desire to get out of the place at all costs. A change of parties in France might materially alter the situation, and, in any case, the ardour of establishing a protectorate would probably have somewhat abated.\n\nBut we trust the French will not be ill-advised enough to listen to any proposal for delay. Whatever difficulties there may be in pressing forward at the moment, they will be greatly enhanced by a postponement. If action must be taken against some other part of China to enforce a settlement, it should be taken without delay. And we urge this not in the interests of either France or China particularly, but for the good of both. The longer the dispute is kept up, the greater the expenditure, and the more the difficulty of a final arrangement which shall not be ruinous to the one side or the other.\n\nThere is a not inconsiderable party in China, composed mainly of the so-called Compradoric class, who think that a sharp and decisive war, in which China should be utterly beaten, would be about the best thing that could happen to her. They think it would sweep away once and for all the cobwebs that Peng Yulin and such like have bound round the eyes of the Imperial Court, and enable men of clearer heads and broader vision to have their way in state affairs.\n\nIf the war were a war with England, we should be much inclined to agree with this view. We should know that in that case such terms would be made as would leave the country all the better for them. It is well known that Li Hung Chang, if he could only have his way, would sanction a concession for the construction of railways to-morrow. It is also well known that, if a concession were granted, the capital to any extent required would be forthcoming in a week. We also know that the mere building of the railway would, by the expenditure of the large sums paid for coolies' wages, confer a great and immediate boon on those districts through which it passed, and we know that in a few years it would carry new life and prosperity to parts that are now languishing Further, any one of half a dozen lines that might be mentioned would, if given fair play, be paying handsome dividends within a short period.\n\nAll these benefits are actually lying close at hand and capable of being immediately realized, but simply because Peng Yu-lin, and obstructionists like him, refuse to yield, they are likely to be deferred for the next fifty years. We do not blame these old conservatives so much as pity them. No doubt they are honest enough and think they are saving their country by keeping out such innovations, but none the less they are an incubus on the nation, Now if all these advantages could be secured to China at the cost of a war, then we agree\n\n517",

The deputation, which was introduced by the Acting Registrar-General (Mr. J. H. Stewart-Lockhart) consisted of several of the members of last year's Committee, and of the new Committee elected for the present year. It has been a long established custom for the newly elected Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital to pay its respects to the Governor after it has taken over the management of the affairs of the Hospital. The following are the names of the Chinese gentlemen who formed the deputation - Li Tak-cheang, of the Lai Hing Firm; U Yuk-shán, of the Wing Man-chéung Australian Exporters' Firm; Yau War-shi, of the Sai Long-cháu, Nam Pak Hong; Li Chuk-k'a, of the Tsan Shing Yarn Dealers (Members old Committee); Lo Tso-shan, of the I'On Firm; Lam Wai-chün, of the Tung Shang-wo Californian and Australian Exporters' Firm; Lau Lan-tsin, of the Hop Hing Hong (on behalf of his partner Wong Tsün-tong); Hung Shä-shang, of the Man Tai Rice Hong; Fung Ming-shang, compradore to Messrs. Eduard Schellbass & Co.; Te'oi Taung-ch'ün, of the Ewong Wing shing Nam Pak Hong; Ng Tsan fong, compradore to Messrs. Russell & Co.; Ch'an Shu-shan, of the King Wo Opium Firm; Li Ho-ü, of the Ching Lan Piece Goods Hong; Ching Sun-po, of the Li Shang Pawnshop; Hu King-tong, compradore to the Borneo Company (members of present Committee).\n\nThe **GOVERNOR**, who was attended by the Acting Colonial Secretary (Hon. F. Stewart) and Captain Lewis, A.D.C., stated that it afforded him much gratification to meet the present deputation, consisting, as it did, of so many of the leading Chinese merchants and residents in the colony. He fully appreciated the great amount of good done by the institution in the way of healing the sick, and he felt sure that the management of the hospital would be in good hands during the present year as it had been during the past.\n\nHe especially appreciated the care and attention devoted by the various Committees in the past and during the present year to vaccination, the main safeguard against epidemics of small-pox. His Excellency concluded by assuring the deputation that he would be always ready to assist them to the best of his ability.\n\nThe **VICE-CHAIRMAN** of the new Committee thanked His Excellency in appropriate terms for the kind manner in which he had spoken of the Hospital and its work, and asked if the Committee were at liberty to consult with His Excellency on matters connected with the Hospital. The **GOVERNOR** replied that he would be always happy to receive the Committee if timely notice was given through the Registrar-General's Department, so that an hour might be appointed.\n\nThe Deputation, after having thanked His Excellency for the kind reception accorded to them, withdrew.\n\nIt will be seen that I expressed my appreciation of the general effort of the Committee of the Hospital, and especially of the care and attention devoted to vaccination. I asked the Committee if, in their opinion, vaccination ought to be made by law compulsory in this Colony, as in England; and they replied in the negative, thinking that it is better, at least for the present, to trust...",

Le Mousqueton, sur lequel se trouvait le chef d'état-major de la division navale, prit les devants du corps expéditionnaire pour aller indiquer le point de débarquement et vérifier les sondages d'après lesquels ce point avait été choisi quelques jours auparavant.\n\nUne première colonne (colonne de gauche), sous les ordres du colonel Belin, prenait la route de terre par Phu-Ocï et Phong, où elle devait passer la nuit.\n\nCette colonne comprenait :\n| Unités | Effectifs |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bataillons Jouneau et Le Tellier (tirailleurs algériens) et le bataillon Donnier (légion étrangère) | formant le régiment de marche du 19e corps |\n| Bataillon Roux (infanterie de marine) |  |\n| Auxiliaires tonkinois | 800, commandant Bertaud |\n| Batteries attelées de 4 de montagne et une batterie attelée de 65mm (artillerie de marine) |  |\n| Escouades de télégraphistes et une ambulance | 2 escouades et 1 ambulance |\n\nAprès avoir traversé le Day, elle devait rejoindre le lendemain l'autre fraction du corps expéditionnaire, qui prenait passage sur la flottille.\n\nCette seconde fraction (colonne de droite), commandée par le colonel Bichot, comprenait :\n| Unités | Effectifs |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bataillons Chevallier, Dalieu et Reygasse (infanterie de marine) | sous les ordres du colonel de Maussion |\n| Bataillon des fusiliers marins | commandant Laguerre |\n| Batteries traînées de 4 de montagne (artillerie de marine) | 3 batteries |\n| Batterie de 65mm du corps de débarquement de la division navale |  |\n| Escouades de télégraphistes et une ambulance | 2 escouades et 1 ambulance |\n\nLa flottille se composait ainsi qu'il suit :\n- Le Pluvier, la Trombe et l'Eclair, portant ensemble environ 1,500 hommes\n- Les petites canonnières Hache, Mousqueton, Yatagan, surveillant et protégeant la marche\n- La Fanfare, mouillée depuis longtemps au-dessus de Palan, dégageant le cours du fleuve en amont\n- Trois chaloupes à vapeur, chargées des communications\n- Un grand nombre de remorqueurs et de jonques, portant le reste des troupes et le matériel\n\nLa batterie de 80mm de campagne avait été embarquée, comme réserve, dans le chaland le Guan-Cam.\n\nLa Surprise restait à Hanoi pour protéger la ville et le cours du fleuve en aval.\n\nJ'avais mon pavillon sur le Pluvier.\n\nCe n'est pas seulement afin d'accélérer le mouvement que je dirigeais une partie du corps expéditionnaire par le fleuve. Presque certain que l'ennemi ne nous attendait point à l'endroit choisi pour le débarquement, je comptais que cette colonne donnerait à l'autre un vigoureux appui, si le passage du Day était disputé.\n\nLa flottille remonta le fleuve sans autre incident que quelques coups de hotchkiss tirés à grande distance sur des pavillons blancs qu'on aperçut près d'une pagode de la rive gauche, aux environs de Palan.\n\nÀ trois heures trente, je quittai le Pluvier et me transportai sur l'Eclair avec le colonel Bichot, le colonel Badens, le colonel Révillon et mon état-major général.\n\nLes troupes de la colonne étaient fatiguées ; il fallait attendre au lendemain pour franchir l'espace de 5 ou 6 kilomètres qui nous séparait des ouvrages avancés de Sontay.\n\nLe 12, à six heures et demie du matin, le corps expéditionnaire se mit en marche sur deux colonnes. Celle de gauche, commandée par le colonel Belin, suivait la grande digue intérieure ; celle de droite, commandée par le colonel Bichot, s'avançait par la route qui borde le Song Cui, tandis que la flottille la suivait à petite vitesse sans dépasser la tête des troupes.\n\nLe débarquement commença sous la direction du capitaine du Mousqueton et continua sans relâche au fur et à mesure que les navires chargés de troupes venaient accoster. Pendant ce temps, le Pluvier et les petites canonnières protégeaient l'opération, qui ne fut d'ailleurs nullement inquiétée par l'ennemi.\n\nÀ six heures du soir, infanterie, artillerie, chevaux et bagages étaient à terre.\n\nLes bataillons, aussitôt formés, avaient reçu l'ordre de pousser en avant, perpendiculairement au fleuve, jusqu'à la grande digue, située à deux ou trois kilomètres à l'intérieur, et de prendre leurs cantonnements en s'échelonnant dans les divers villages situés sur cette ligne.\n\nJe plaçai mon quartier général sur le bord du fleuve, restant ainsi en communication avec la flottille et avec le poste de télégraphie optique de Palan.\n\nCe poste me donna le soir même des nouvelles de la colonne de gauche.\n\nLe colonel Belin s'était avancé sans incident jusqu'au Day, y avait trouvé les jonques destinées à établir un pont ; il comptait le construire pendant la nuit et traverser le lendemain matin de bonne heure.\n\n### Description de Sontay\n\nIl convient, avant de commencer le récit des combats qui ont amené la prise de Sontay, de donner une description détaillée des nombreux ouvrages que l'ennemi avait accumulés aux abords de cette ville et qui en faisaient une forte place de guerre.\n\nLa citadelle de Sontay, située à 2 kilomètres du fleuve environ, forme un carré de 300 mètres de côté, entouré d'un mur en maçonnerie de 5 mètres de hauteur. Le mur est couronné de fraises constituées par des bambous croisés et liés entre eux. Cette ligne de fraises fait saillie à l'extérieur sur une largeur de deux mètres et présente un obstacle sérieux à l'escalade.\n\nLa partie supérieure du mur forme parapet de 1 mètre de largeur, sur lequel sont disposées des plates-formes pour l'artillerie et des abris pour les défenseurs. À 80 centimètres au-dessous de la crête du mur règne un terre-plein.\n\nAu milieu de chaque face se trouve une demi-tour circulaire de 30 mètres de diamètre, dont le flanc droit est percé d'une porte vadée. Un pont massif en briques traverse le fossé dans la direction de la capitale de la demi-tour. Une porte en bambous ferme l'entrée du pont ; une porte massive en bois ferme l'accès dans la demi-tour et dans la citadelle. La porte de l'Est est murée.\n\nUn fossé d'environ 20 mètres de large, profond de 3 mètres et rempli d'eau sur une profondeur de 1 mètre, entoure le rempart, dont il est séparé par une épaisse berme ou bande de terre de 8 mètres de large appelée Chemin des Éléphants ; les lèvres du fossé sont à pic et revêtus de maçonnerie.\n\nÀ l'intérieur de la citadelle, on distingue la tour en briques, de 18 mètres de hauteur, qui domine au loin. Le reste de la citadelle est occupé par les maisons des mandarins, les magasins à riz, vastes bâtiments visibles à l'extérieur, et d'autres édifices publics.\n\nAutour de la citadelle se trouve la ville, qui se compose de quatre rangées de maisons en briques ou en torchis disposées le long des routes aboutissant aux quatre portes de l'enceinte extérieure. Ces portes sont en maçonnerie massive ; celles de l'Est et de l'Ouest sont murées en terre, celles du Nord et du Sud seules peuvent s'ouvrir : les portes sont reliées par un retranchement composé d'un parapet en terre de 4 à 5 mètres de hauteur, percé d'embrasures et de créneaux revêtus en bois de clayonnage, permettant aux défenseurs de tirer le fusil ou le canon sans être vus de dehors. Le parapet est entouré d'un fossé de...\n\n### Suite des opérations\n\nDans la matinée du 12, je parcourus les positions avec le colonel Bichot et le chef d'état-major et je reconnus le pays. Complètement plat, et relativement sec à cette époque de l'année, il est couvert de villages boués, généralement entourés d'épaisses haies de bambous, qui en font de petites forteresses. Ces villages laissent entre eux des espaces dégagés couverts de rizières et de champs de cannes à sucre.\n\nDans l'après-midi du 12, toute la colonne de droite fut portée en avant et établie, depuis le fleuve jusqu'à la grande digue, sur une ligne de 2 kilomètres de développement, perpendiculaire à la rive, passant par le village de Xuyen-Van, où s'établit le quartier général. Les bataillons étaient rangés dans l'ordre suivant, à partir de la droite :\n- Bataillon Chevallier, s'appuyant au fleuve\n- Bataillon des fusiliers marins, commandant Laguerre, à côté du quartier général\n- Bataillon Reygasse\n- Bataillon Dalieu, à l'extrême gauche, s'appuyant à la digue\n\nL'artillerie, sous les ordres du colonel Révillon, était placée un peu en arrière du quartier général.\n\nCependant, la colonne de gauche rencontrait de grandes difficultés pour traverser le Day. Le pont établi dans la nuit s'était rompu et le colonel Belin s'était vu obligé de faire le va-et-vient avec des jonques, non sans éprouver de sérieux embarras pour le transport des canons et des chevaux. Ce passage, effectué d'ailleurs sans résistance, occupa toute la journée du 12 et la nuit était déjà fort avancée quand les troupes purent prendre leurs cantonnements.\n\nC'est seulement le 13, à midi, que la colonne de gauche put rejoindre la colonne de droite...",

        "content_text": "# Prize Distribution Event\n\nThe intelligence shown by the answers was extraordinary, and the knowledge likewise. They were not show papers, meant to mystify the public by appearing more difficult than they are. They are thorough testing papers, and evidently written with the view of testing the common-sense and intelligence of the boys as much or even more than their scholastic knowledge, which is a great point. The most interesting of the ordinary papers were those on history, geography, arithmetic, and grammar; but there was one extraordinary paper, the like of which I never saw in any school or college but one; it was headed \"**General Intelligence Paper**\". You might judge from that that the questions not only were not based on ordinary scholastic teaching or to test how much a boy knew, but rather his common-sense and his power to apply what he had been taught. I will just give you two questions, if I can remember them, which struck me very much. One was: \"Describe and distinguish between the functions of judge, jury, barrister, and solicitor.\" I am told the Chinese are very well aware that there is a great deal of law in Hongkong one way or the other, and it is rather important that the Chinese should grow up with intelligent ideas on that subject. Another was intended evidently to see if a boy could apply his mathematics, and was: \"If a kite were in the air and you wanted to ascertain its height, how would you go about it?\" This does not require any very abstruse calculations, but I am afraid many mathematicians would fail in it. I am detaining you too long, but I can say that if the work of the school can be at all fairly gauged from what I saw in cursorily going through the papers, you Hongkong people and you Chinese boys and men are most immensely to be congratulated. I say without hesitation, if I may venture upon such an assertion, that the education given here will compare favourably with the education given in the best schools and colleges in the old country. (Applause).\n\nAlthough the composition was poor as composition, it was wonderfully good for Chinese, far better than we can write in Chinese, and if the Head Master will allow me, I will have much pleasure in offering a prize next year to the boy who comes out top in English Composition.\n\nMr. WRIGHT - Mr. Bain of the *China Mail* gives a prize for that subject.\n\nMr. SHARP - Then may I change it to the other paper, that of \"**General Intelligence**\"? Would you kindly give the prize to the boy who comes out highest in that paper?\n\nMr. WRIGHT - With pleasure.\n\nMr. SHARP - And possibly I may be allowed the favour of putting in a couple of the questions myself?\n\nMr. WRIGHT - Certainly.\n\n...\n\nMr. SHARP - I have no more to say except one word to my English friends round me. Good Hongkong people are choosing to give such a wonderfully good education to the Chinese - and I should be the last to take exception to it - but if you are doing it - and you are - what are you going to do with your own sons to keep them abreast of it, and who ought ever to be ahead of it? And you Chinese men and boys, for I see there are both among you, may you prove worthy of this very grand education you are receiving. (Applause).\n\nHis EXCELLENCY then distributed the prizes, and at the conclusion of the distribution, said - The boys, I understand, will now go for their holidays, and return after the Chinese New Year. I take this opportunity of informing the visitors that they see present only a portion of the boys attending the school. This room will not accommodate more than 180, whereas there are 412 attending the school, so that you only see a small portion of those who are receiving their education here. When the new building is completed, I believe the Hall will be sufficiently large to admit of the whole of the pupils assembling.\n\nCheers for the Queen, the Administrator, Mrs. Marsh, the Head Master, Visitors, and Donors of Prizes brought the proceedings to a close.\n\n## Prize List\n\n### SPECIAL PRIZES\n\n| Prize | Winner |\n| --- | --- |\n| Morrison Scholar | Chaung Tsoi |\n| Stewart Scholar | Lo Sing-lan |\n| Senior Belilios Scholar | Lo Kit |\n| Junior Belilios Scholar | Ho Man Ying |\n| Translation into English | Lam Tsun Kwai, watch, by the Hon.

It is part of my duty to see that the licenses in the Market are in order. At the beginning of this month, the man Chii Kam-fong had no license. He said he mislaid it. I told him to apply to the Registrar General's Office to have it changed.\n\nI next saw him at the Registrar General's Office. In the procession of Sungsing, I said there is only one name on the license. I came in to see the Registrar General. I told the Acting Registrar General that no parties were recognized and that only one name was to appear on the license. The Acting Registrar General ordered that only one name was to appear on the license.\n\nNothing was said to the Acting Registrar General about So Yik him being the original partner. I know of the Notification issued in clear terms. I do not consider it retrospective. To my knowledge, it has never been acted on as if it were retrospective. I did not know that So Yik him was dead. I had not seen him for years. I did not report the matter of So Yik him's death because I did not know that he was actually dead. I never made inquiries as to his death.\n\nI am not aware of people who hold stalls in the Market and who have been absent from the Colony for years. There may be many, but I do not know of any. I think there may be a great number. I have often brought this to the notice of the Registrar General. I have mentioned it verbally only.

The memorialist states that for over a year he has carried on business under the style of Ching Chang Kee; that before and since Ching Live I Ki; that before the issuing of his license he carried on the business solely; and has been known to the Registrar General as the tenant of Land No.2, and that the rent has been received monthly from him.\n\nIf he does not actually allege it, he wishes it to be believed that he was the sole owner of the business, and was known as such, excepted and admitted by the Registrar General's Department to be really the tenant of the land. This is not correct.\n\nChi Kam-fong was not the sole owner though he was a partner in the business, and as a partner only, and never as a tenant or a joint tenant – the fact of his having a share in the business does not make him a tenant.

July\n\nTHE COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA.\n\nThe negotiations between France and China for the arrangement of the terms on which trade is in future to be conducted across the frontier between Tonquin and China, which dragged their slow length along for nearly a year at Tientsin, have been completed, and the result of the labours of M. Cogordan, Li Hung Chang, and their numerous assistants has at last reached Paris for ratification. It might have been thought that, as political questions were settled and the delicate matter of delimitation got out of the way by the appointment of a joint commission, it would not be a difficult matter to come to terms for the regulation\n\nof a trade which is still in the clouds. But this has not been the case; over and over again the negotiations stood still for weeks because the representatives of the high contracting parties could not agree on some point. The French entered on the work with the idea that the result of the war entitled them to large concessions, and it is to be feared that the Chinese spirit was even less favourable to a speedy and satisfactory issue. They haggled over points to which they attached no importance themselves, and which, indeed, were of no special importance to either party, in a spirit that looked like mere contentiousness. They appear to have set out with the determination that the French should get as little as possible of what they wanted, whether the withholding of it was of benefit to China or not. French manufacturers expected great things from the war; they were taught all along that a new El Dorado was being opened to them; France was destroying the British commercial monopoly in southern and south-western China, she was cutting out England in the future; and with these great and flattering objects in view the war went on. The Chinese, on the other hand, were determined, as far as lay in their power, to show France that even in a commercial sense she had gained nothing by the war. Li Hung Chang, on being asked to let the French construct railways for China, contemptuously gave them permission to tender for a small line between the Kaiping collieries and Tientsin, and ultimately gave the contract to Messrs. Krupp. The Chinese had this further advantage in the contest (an advantage of which they have not now, as in the past, been slow to avail themselves) that they knew France would not go to war with them again over the negotiations. The nature of the treaty concluded under these conditions can easily be surmised. We look through it in vain for any of those advantages to French trade which were so confidently anticipated; our Chambers of Commerce and merchants can read every line of it without a qualm. There is no provision in it on which even the most nervous official or merchant can lay his hand and say—\"There may be danger to us there.\" Taken by itself, and apart from the antecedent and surrounding circumstances, the treaty is hardly worth a moment's attention; but when we recollect the hopes it has raised in one country and the fears it has caused amongst British merchants at home and in the East, when we reflect that this is the arrangement which was to destroy British commercial predominance in southern China and to blast our inheritance in future trade of south-western China, we cannot pass it by without interest or attention.\n\nWe shall, therefore, run rapidly seriatim through every clause of the treaty, giving the substance of each, with a few comments here and there, where they appear necessary, by way of elucidation. By the first article, China agrees to open two places to trade, one on the frontier beyond Langson, the second above Laokai; the first of these will give access to the rich and populous province of Kwangsi, the other to Yunnan. This provision is not new, as it was contained in the treaty of peace signed at Tientsin on June 9, 1885. China will establish customs stations at these places, while France gets the right to appoint Consuls to reside there. This clause also arranges the method in which the places are to be selected. In connexion with this clause, it is interesting to notice that one of the hitches in the negotiation was caused by the demand of the French to appoint an agent to reside at some important centre in Yunnan (Tali-fu and Yunnan-fu were mentioned), as we have an agent at Chung-King, on the Yangtze in Sze-chuan, but the Chinese were inflexible in their refusal. The second clause provides for the appointment of Chinese Consuls in Hanoi, Haiphong, and other towns in Tonquin, with favoured-nation treatment. By Article 3 both sides engage to assist the respective Consuls in obtaining suitable residences. Clause 4 provides for freedom of trade and residence for Chinese in Tonquin and trade and residence under the usual conditions for French in the open places in China. By Clause 5 it is agreed that only those persons armed with passports to be granted by the Chinese can cross the frontier. In this respect the French in Tonquin are at a disadvantage compared with Europeans residing on the coast, who can go and come freely. The 6th and 7th Articles are the most important in the whole treaty; they are also the longest, but their substance may be given in a few words. Imports across the frontier into China pay one-fifth less than the maritime customs dues, and exports one-third. Articles not mentioned in the tariff pay 5 per cent, ad valorem in each case, and all such goods pay the likin, or inland transit dues, in the usual way. On these clauses, which really form the crux of the whole treaty so far as British trade is concerned, two questions arise—What will be the effect of the trade through Tonquin on our trade in southern China? and, should we claim the most-favoured-nation treatment in respect of this reduction of the customs dues? To the first question two of our Consuls in the region affected have already replied that no injury will be done to our trade, for the difficult nature of the country to be crossed between the Red River and the valley of the Si-Kiang, or Canton River, has prevented, and will prevent, much trade by this route until the French construct railways to the frontier, and even then the opening of a port on the Canton River will counterbalance the French advantages. As to claiming the favoured-nation treatment, we did not do so in the case of the Russo-Chinese Commercial Treaty of 1881, and M. de Freycinet has intimated an opinion that the most-favoured nation treatment applied only to the open ports, and not to the land frontiers of China, a limitation of the favoured-nation clause in which Lord Salisbury did not concur. On the other hand, the Board of Trade recommended that the question should be fought on the ground of principle, which, it said, was all-important. \"If stipulations for equal treatment in the matter of duties are to be made to depend on, and to vary with the cost of transit (the ground on which the reduction of duties was made) there is an end of any certainty or clearness in the meaning of such stipulations.\" Notwithstanding this strong recommendation, we believe the Foreign Office has decided not to contest the question at present, and on the whole, perhaps, this is politic. It must be remembered that merchandise from Europe going into China by this route will pay two different customs dues—the first to the French authorities on entering Tonquin, the second to the Chinese on entering China. Discriminating duties existed, or existed until recently, in Tonquin. General Millot, when Governor, divided all imports into three classes, with different scales of duty—(1) Those of Indo-Chinese origin; (2) those of French origin; (3) those of foreign origin; each class paying higher duties than the preceding one. It will thus be seen that a trifling fifth or third diminution from a five per cent, ad valorem tariff can do little to help a trade heavily weighted with these discriminating duties from the moment it enters Tonquin. And even if French goods were admitted free into the latter, this reduction, amounting in the one case to one, in the other to one and two-thirds per cent., would be of little help towards meeting the enormous expense of carriage to Langson, not to speak at all of the distant Laokai. Besides, concluding that the game of fighting the point with France and China was not worth the candle, Lord Rosebery, no doubt, reflected that we shall shortly have the opportunity of claiming similar treatment in the trade across our new frontier in Burma. When France has completely pacified Tonquin, when she has rendered the Red River navigable and constructed railways to the frontier, and when she has remodelled the fiscal system of Indo-China so as to admit goods of French origin free of duty, these reduced dues might, if we have been at a standstill all the time, be of",

        "content_text": "31\n\nThis was then the Government road connecting Yün-nan and Kuei-chou with the east of the Empire. The place has now the air of a Welsh country town with great display of mountain boots, and such rustic articles, though its suburb, several li in length, attests its former prosperity. Here goods are transferred from the river* to the backs of pack-animals. Dues and prices are given in Appendix I.\n\nAfter the suburbs of Yung-ning and Hsü-yung are passed, and the valley of the river left behind, the country quite changes its character. The ascent to the plateau of Yün-nan begins, and the sandstones and argillaceous shales, characteristic of Southern Ssu-ch'uan, are replaced by stratified limestones and calcareous shales weathered into the queerest shapes, having a honeycombed or wavy appearance according to the nature of the rock. After a walk of about 16 miles, the latter part of the way between hedges that looked quite English with wild roses and blackberries, we reached Shuang-ching, 3,640 feet above the sea.\n\nHere we heard the very unpleasant news that we were to meet a disbanded army that was on its way back to Ssu-ch'uan from the Tonquin border. When Peking resolved to make war in earnest on the French in Tonquin, a Ssu-ch'uan General, Pao Ch'ao by name, was directed to recruit an army in Eastern Ssu-ch'uan and march to the Tonquin border through Yün-nan. On the way up the Yang-tzu in December 1884, I walked through General Pao's camp at K'uei Fu, when he had collected about 20,000 men. The General showed no great eagerness to fight; but in the beginning of 1885 he received peremptory orders to move at once. He passed along this road with 20,000 to 25,000 men, and reached Mêng-tzu Hsien, three days from Lao-kai, in March, some little time before the armistice was concluded. After spending four months on the Tonquin border, General Pao marched his troops down the various hills they had so recently ascended, and was now two or three days in front of us on his way back to Ssü-ch'uan. Some idea may be formed of the number of Chinese put out of the world by the war from the fact that of this force, of which the French probably never heard, and which was never within 100 miles of the enemy, not more than half returned. Mêng-tzu, K'ai-hua, and Kuang-nan in thousands; of this I am sure, for I saw their graves. They died in thousands.\n\nIt was of course an unfortunate rencontre for us, because the Chinese in these parts do not distinguish the various races of Occidentals. However, the men were broken up into small parties and extended over ten stages or more, so that by keeping together we were generally the stronger company. The road presented the most extraordinary spectacle. There would be in front, perhaps, a man carrying a halbert or trident or 12-foot lance with red flag; next, chanting in a plaintive strain, eight bearers carrying a \"ling-chiao\" (spirit's sedan), i.e., a coffin containing the remains of some fever-stricken officer, covered with red serge and surmounted by the inevitable white cock, on the way to the family grave-yard in Ssu-ch'uan; then a man carrying a tin-looking French revolver or ancient pistol, the like of which is only to be found in the United Service Museum; next, a sick man only just able to sit upright on his pony; those that had money had invested in Yün-nan opium, parrots, copper, tin, or hams, which they carried themselves slung on to a lance or foreign musket. The pay of these men had been 4 taels (£1. 4s.) per month in all, out of which they fed and clothed themselves. But the amateur opium and ham merchants had won at cards, which, with opium-smoking and fever, had killed time on the Tonquin border. Some scowled and handled their weapons as I walked past them, but the greater number were content with some such remark as \"Why, here's one of those foreigners! What's he doing here?\" Excepting the body-guard of the General officers, these troops were disbanded and under no immediate control. What I dreaded was a quarrel between some of them and my followers, when time would have been given for stragglers to come up, and we should probably have been looted. All our party were warned to beware of this, and in ten days we had passed the whole force without any mishap.\n\nAfter Shuang-ching the road climbs successive layers of limestone strata, dipping to the north at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees, the peaks being the tops of the strata that have escaped denudation. Between this and the ascent to the Hsueh Shan there must be an anticlinal ridge, for there the strata, which is of similar rock, dips to the south at about the same angle. After Hei-ni-shao the road runs through a district of bare limestone hills, uncultivated for the most part, and without trees. Here we passed a terminal of Armita Buddha with quite negro features, decked with an immense number of votive offerings, including many pairs of paper eye-glasses, one pair on, producing such a burlesque effect that it was hard not to be profane. After a mile or so Simultaneous observations give the \"Yung-ning River a fall of about 3 feet a mile hence to the Yang-tzŭ; and the Yang-tzŭ a fall of 10 inches a mile between Lu-chou and Ch'ung-ch'ing.\n\n372",

J. Ackroyd, Acting Attorney General\n\n13th May, 1887.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, FEBRUARY 21st, 1887.\n\nRENDITION CASE. Three Chinese, Thu Sang Chieu, Thi Har Shing, and Ching Sam were brought before the court charged with burglary and murder within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China. The men were arrested by Inspector Quincey and some assistants in consequence of a communication from the Chinese authorities asking for the rendition of seven men on the above charges. The three prisoners are said to be some of those wanted, the others being at present at large.\n\nEvidence was produced to prove the arrest and identity of the prisoners.\n\nMr. Caldwell, who appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the Chinese authorities, applied for a remand in order that he might have an opportunity to formulate specific charges. He also asked that bail should not be allowed and that the prisoners should be segregated.\n\nHis Worship remanded the case for a week, and directed that the prisoners should be kept separate, bail being refused.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, MARCH 14th, 1887.\n\nCHARGE AGAINST A CHINESE MANDARIN OF CONSPIRACY TO MURDER. Colonel Li Loi, an officer of the Chinese Government, and Chun Ayut, alias Leung Yow, a hawker, appeared before the Court, the former upon the charge of subornation of perjury and the latter upon that of perjury. These charges were, as appears below, in the course of the proceedings supplemented by the more serious charges of attempting to murder and conspiring to murder one Leung Fa.\n\nOn the 19th February last three men were arrested in Hongkong upon the application of Colonel Li Loi, acting for the Viceroy of Canton, under the provisions of the Rendition Ordinance. The charge was one of burglary and murder, and the prisoners were defended by Messrs. Holmes and Dennys. The trial has been occupying the attention of the court for the last three or four days, and on Friday the evidence of the man calling himself Leung Yow, and passing as the nephew of the woman robbed, was questioned. Witnesses were called to prove that Leung Yow was an assumed name, and that the man's real name was Chan Ayut. The man was further personally examined by Dr. Hartigan, and tattoo marks were discovered, which though somewhat difficult to distinguish, were declared by the Chinese interpreter of the court, Chan Kai Ming, to represent the Chinese character \"To\" (thief). Other marks were also discovered, and it appeared that there was little question but that the man is a well-known criminal.\n\nAt the close of Friday's sitting Mr. Dennys applied to Mr. Wodehouse to detain both Colonel Li Loi and Leung Yow. The latter was accordingly detained, but His Worship declined at that stage to make any order as to Colonel Li Loi. Mr. Dennys, thereupon, took upon himself the responsibility of having Colonel Li Loi arrested. Colonel Li Loi, after being under arrest all night, was, on Saturday morning, released on a bail of $1,000.\n\nOn the appearance in court on Saturday morning of Chan Ayut he was placed in the dock, but the Mandarin, who was accompanied by Mr. Caldwell, was accommodated with a seat at the Solicitors' table.\n\nMr. Dennys, thereupon, pointing to Li Loi said—I charge this man with conspiring to murder, and I ask that he may be placed in the dock beside the other prisoner. I have strong reasons for objecting to any distinctions being drawn between this man and any other prisoner.\n\nHis Worship—I wish to hear first what reasons you have for doing this.\n\nMr. Dennys—The overt act, which I shall allege against the two prisoners, will be attempting to murder a man named Achus, but whom I know by the name of Leung Fu, and who is at present detained, as prisoner on remand, in Victoria Gaol. The overt act, which I shall allege in support of my charge, is, that these two persons have, in connection with proceedings which have been taken before another magistrate in this Colony, committed wilful and corrupt perjury, and I say that had they succeeded in their designs, they would have murdered Achus, alias Leung Fu, who is charged with murder, and who would have lost his life. I am told, your Worship, that the position I am in to-day is not a proper one for me. As the solicitor in the previous case, I applied to the magistrate who was adjudicating that case to detain those two defendants, and to have them charged with perjury. My application was refused, but the magistrate informed me that I, having seen the felony committed, it was for me to prosecute. I am therefore here to-day, not as a solicitor for any body, but simply as one of the citizens of Hongkong, who believes that an attempt to murder has been made, and I therefore prosecute.\n\nI may say that I have in my possession a sworn declaration, made before a Justice of the Peace in this Colony, of a large number of witnesses who have all declared that the evidence given by Chung Ayat, the second defendant in this case, is absolutely false. I had these declarations in my possession before I accepted the challenge of the magistrate, and took the position of prosecutor. If your worship wishes me to give a brief outline of what these proceedings are, I shall be happy to do so.\n\nHis Worship—You will have to state what the perjury consists of, and the depositions in the other case will have to be referred to.\n\nMr. Dennys then asked for the depositions in the other case to be produced at this point of the proceedings.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., who was instructed by Mr. Caldwell, appeared for the defence.\n\nMr. Francis—May I ask, your Worship, what is the charge against the prisoners?\n\nThe Magistrate—They are charged with conspiracy to murder.\n\nMr. Francis—May I ask who is the complainant?\n\nMr. Dennys—I am the complainant.\n\nThe Magistrate—Will you then formulate the charges and give them in writing.\n\nMr. Dennys—I will do so. I ask your Worship to adjourn the case till this afternoon in order to give me time to do so.\n\nMr. Francis—I object to any adjournment. The two men have been placed upon the charge sheet, one for perjury and the other for subornation of perjury. Either these charges must be gone on with or others substituted, otherwise your Worship cannot adjourn the case.\n\nMr. Dennys—I apply, then, for leave to amend the charge made last night. I now charge these two defendants Li Loi and Chan Ayat with conspiring together to attempt to murder a man named Leung Afu, who is at present detained a prisoner in Victoria Gaol. I likewise charge these two defendants with attempting to murder the said Leung Afu, and I further charge the first defendant with subornation of perjury.\n\nMr. Francis—Subornation to commit perjury, when and where?\n\nMr. Dennys—Suborning the second defendant to commit perjury in certain proceedings that have taken place before Mr. Wodehouse, one of the Magistrates in the Colony. The said perjury consisted of the allegation that the said Chan Ayut, who then called himself Leung Yow, had been kidnapped by Leung Afu; had been carried away by him from a place called Kweichow, in the Shun-tak district of Canton; had been taken by the said Leung Afu to a place called Whampoa, and had been detained there for two whole days. I further allege that the said Chan Ayut denied that he was called Leung Yow, and said that he had never heard that name before.",

        "content_text": "I allege that he denied that he had a brother called Chan Koo I, and that he further stated that he had never been connected with any Chinese officials whatever until the 6th day of March, when he met the first defendant in Hongkong. He further said that he had never been in any Chinese prison; that he had but two marks upon his person, one on his head, caused by chopping firewood, the other on his arm, caused by a boil. He further stated that he had never been in Hongkong in his life before the 6th March, 1887. I allege that all these statements are false, and I say that Li Loi, the first defendant, laid the information in the case; that he attended in Court throughout almost the whole of the proceedings, and instructed the prisoner to appear in his behalf, and heard the greater part of the evidence that was given by the second prisoner. I say that the perjury, and subornation of perjury, were committed as part of the present charge of attempting to commit murder, and conspiring to commit murder.\n\nThe first witness for the prosecution was then called.\n\nChau Kai Ming-I am a sworn interpreter. I was present in Court on the 7th March and I interpreted in a case in which Chung Sam, U Shop, and Chang Chun, were charged before Mr. Wodehouse, Police Magistrate. The prisoners were charged with murder and burglary within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China, in the 9th moon (October) of last year. I interpreted the evidence that was given by a man called Leung Yow. He is the second defendant in this case. As far as I can remember, the second defendant said, that on the 12th day of the moon he went to visit his aunt, Fu Ma She, that she invited him to stay all night, and he accepted her invitation; that he slept in the second depth of that house; that about the beginning of the third watch he was awakened by a great noise in the third depth. He got up and attempted to walk into the third depth but was prevented by two or three men. He went back to his bed and sat there. At the beginning of the fourth watch, he saw about twenty men pass him, carrying mat bags. One of them came up to him, put a mat bag over his head, and he was carried away and put on board a boat. There were six men in the boat, excluding himself, three rowing and three keeping guard over him. The three men keeping guard over him were the three defendants in the first case. They demanded $3,000 of him, but the second defendant said they would wait till they arrived at a shed. He was afterwards taken to a shed at Whampoa, a place in Chun-tak, not the Whampoa in Canton. When he was taken to the shed he had his hands tied behind his back, chains put on his legs, and he was fastened to a peg in the ground. The three defendants were constantly by his side. The first and third defendants in the other case demanded $3,000 from him. They took him to be the son of Fu Ma She, and requested him to write a letter to her, asking for the sum. This he refused to do. He was afterwards released, at the request of the second defendant in the other case, who said he knew he was not the son of Fu Ma She. He then put him in a boat, in which was only a woman about thirty years of age, and she rowed him back to Kwei-chow. When asked if he was Chan Aynt, he said he had never heard the name; that he had never been in any way connected with any Chinese officials before the 12th of the second moon; that he had never been in a prison; that he had but two marks on his person, one on the left temple, caused by wood chopping, and one on the right arm caused by a boil. I was called as a witness in those proceedings. I looked at the arm of the second prisoner, and found thereon tattoo marks of the Chinese character \"To\" meaning \"thief.\" It was not very distinct, but I have no doubt that it was that character.\n\nMr. Francis-What do you mean by tattoo marks?-Marks tattooed by a needle. They were of a blue colour.\n\nMr. W. M. B. Arthur said-I am first clerk to the Magistracy. I have been keeping the document signed by Li Loi requesting the apprehension of seven men. The document came to me from the Government officers in the usual course. I have before me a warrant for the arrest of certain fugitive criminals. The writing in black ink is that of Mr. de Silva, fourth clerk to the Magistracy. The writing in red ink is by myself.\n\n2. 190\n\nThe warrant was issued in consequence of the receipt of the other document. I know the defendant Li Loi. During the proceedings, he has been constantly about the Court. I have not seen him seated at the table, but I have seen him in Court.\n\nChun Kai Ming, re-called, said-During the proceedings, I saw the first defendant seated next to Mr. Caldwell, the solicitor for the prosecution. He said something in a very loud tone to Mr. Caldwell. During the time he was not seated by Mr. Caldwell, he was either behind the dock or stationed a few paces behind Mr. Caldwell.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Francis-Mr. Dennys was seated at the table and was also a few paces from the defendant. There were several other persons near Mr. Caldwell.\n\nFrancis Xavier d'Almada e Castro stated-I am a clerk in the employ of Mr. Caldwell, solicitor in this Colony. I wrote the English words in the document sent by Li Loi, applying for the arrest of the men. I do not remember seeing the Chinese words written in the document. I did not see it signed. I left the blanks to be filled in.\n\nShi Ping Kong said-I am a clerk in Mr. Caldwell's office. I wrote the Chinese characters in the document by the instruction of Mr. Caldwell. I cannot say positively that I saw Li Loi sign the document. It looks like his writing but I cannot say where it was signed.\n\nHe said\n\nMr. D. E. Caldwell was next called-I am a solicitor practising in this Colony. I saw Li Loi sign the document.\n\nMr. Dennys-Do you know the meaning of the characters?\n\nMr. Caldwell.-No, I do not.\n\nMr. Dennys-I must confess I am surprised that you, who know Chinese far better than I do, should not know the meaning of these characters.\n\nMr. Caldwell-I know only about 12 characters. The document was signed in my office in the Queen's Road. It was signed in duplicate. One I forwarded to the Colonial Secretary, the other I sent to Mr. Maclean. I think I first saw the first defendant on 15th February last, the day before this document was drawn up. From my own knowledge, I cannot say where he lives. I was not aware that there was a Chinese gunboat in the harbour named Chung Was. I do not remember hearing the second prisoner state that he went on board that boat after meeting on shore with the cook, a friend of his. I saw the second defendant the day he came into court but not to speak to him. The only communication I had with him was in Mr. Arthur's room in the Magistracy, on the day of the trial. There were several gentlemen present in connection with the case, among them Li Loi, but I cannot say which of them gave me the instructions to call the second defendant as a witness. I cannot say positively whether or not it was Li Loi who instructed me to put him in the witness box. I remember Li Loi being seated beside me in court during the examination of the second prisoner. He spoke very loudly to me and gesticulated. He seemed to be angry and excited. So far as I remember, the words he said signified \"Do not let them go,\" alluding to the three prisoners in the dock. The evidence about the mark on the arm had been given before he spoke; at least it was after the discovery of the marks.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Francis-I have been engaged in several rendition cases. The persons who come down in these cases always bring credentials from the Viceroy. I was thoroughly satisfied that Li Loi was authorised by the Chinese Government, otherwise I would not have acted. Several gentlemen came down in this matter, and from Li Loi's own statement and the corroboration of those who were with him, I had no occasion to doubt him. I was also satisfied because of the introduction he brought.\n\nMr. Donnys-I am not in a position to finish this case to-day. I think, however, that I have brought forward sufficient evidence to ask for a remand until such further time as your Worship shall think fit. I do not wish to appear unreasonable, but I should wish the case remanded for a week. My object in asking for this is that I wish to call as witnesses the defendants concerned in the other case, and who will probably be dismissed on Monday.",

        "content_text": "whatever to do with this case. If you believe the evidence of Chan Ayut you have a right to call upon the prisoners for their defence, but you have no right to adjourn this case from week to week till the other case is finished. These defendants have nothing to do with that case. These three men before your Worship are on trial for their lives, and their case ought to be conducted in a legal, formal, and proper manner; and I submit, with all respect to your Worship, that the case is not being conducted in such a manner when it is being adjourned from week to week. If your Worship believes the evidence of Chun Ayut, if your Worship believes that Dr. Hartigan, Mr. Chun Kai Ming and Ho Ki have all gone into the box and told deliberate falsehoods, the prisoners will make their defence, but if not I submit there is no case against them. Your Worship has been a long time in this colony, and you know how difficult it is for a man to defend himself against officials who are in pay of the Chinese Government, because it is almost impossible to get witnesses to come forward and give evidence when they know that their relations are in the power of the Chinese Government, and the witnesses themselves may be spirited away before they can go down to the Supreme Court. I can assure your Worship that numbers of people have spoken to me in the street, knowing that this was a trumped-up charge, but who are unwilling to come into this court and give evidence, because they know that their relatives would pay the penalty with their lives. If you believe the evidence of Chun Ayat then the case ought to be proceeded with at once and the prisoners allowed to make their defence. The defence which I intend to make will be the proving of an alibi, and if this case is again adjourned fresh charges may be brought by the Chinese Government which it will be impossible for me to disprove, when the Government know exactly where the defendants were at such and such a date.\n\nHis Worship—I cannot agree in any way, with the statement made by Mr. Dennys with regard to the promises I have made during the hearing of the case. The action I have taken throughout these proceedings I have made public, and if I pass over what Mr. Dennys has said with regard to the promises I have made, it is not that I agree with him, but because I do not consider them worthy of further notice. I have here before me in writing the course that was pursued:—“Mr. Dennys applied to have Li Loi arrested on charge of subornation of perjury and Leung Ayow for perjury. Mr. Caldwell applied for time to bring rebutting evidence. The Magistrate declined to take any action in the matter but granted time to allow the solicitors for the defence to take what action they thought fit. The case to be remanded till the following day. In the interval action taken by a private individual, and Li Loi and Leung Ayow charged with subornation of perjury and perjury. Mr. Dennys asks for release of defendants. The Magistrate declines to take any action until the case against Leung Ayow is concluded and proposes to adjourn the case from week to week. Case came on again. Mr. Quincey states that perjury case is still proceeding. The case again remanded. Mr. Dennys on behalf of second and third defendants, and Mr. Holmes, on behalf of first, ask for their discharge. The application refused. Mr. Dennys, and Mr. Holmes ask for bail. Caldwell objects. Bail refused. The Magistrate, in reference to the application of Mr. Francis to be allowed to bring further evidence, in the event of Leung Ayow being convicted of perjury, gives formal notice that should such event occur, he will consider that a prima facie case has been made out.” I am now informed that the €430 is no prima facie case. I am now committed for trial. I cannot believe that the solicitors for the defence think that the other case is yet concluded.\n\nA criminal case is not concluded until the prisoner is either found guilty or acquitted. I shall therefore wait until the case is concluded and remand this one until Monday, April 4th, at 10 o'clock.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\n29th April.\n\nTHE RENDITION CASE.\n\nChing Sam and Tsang Chun, whose rendition is asked for by the Chinese Government on a charge of burglary and murder, were brought up on remand.\n\nMr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Dennys for the second prisoner, and Mr. Holmes for the first.\n\nMr. Caldwell stated that Mr. Francis, Q.C., who had appeared for the prosecution on the last occasion, had been called away to Shanghai.\n\nIt was decided to proceed in Mr. Francis's absence.\n\nInspector Quincey gave evidence as to the death of Shap, a prisoner in the same case, who committed suicide in the gaol on Wednesday night.\n\nMr. Dennys then addressed the court on the points of law raised by Mr. Francis on the last occasion and afterwards proceeded to analyse the evidence for the prosecution, his address occupying two hours and a half. With reference to the contention of the prosecution that the court had merely to satisfy itself that a prima facie case was made out and could not enter into evidence for the defence he argued that the Magistrate was bound to satisfy himself absolutely that the prisoners were guilty before committing them to gaol pending the Governor's orders, the Governor being in this matter merely an executive officer and bound to deliver the prisoners up if the Magistrate found them guilty; that the Magistrate was bound to hear and take into consideration the defence if there was any case to answer; but that in the present case the prosecution had utterly broken down and that the prisoners were therefore entitled to their discharge. With regard to the first point he said he thought it was utterly impossible to find any precedent outside Hongkong that would exactly guide his Worship, but several cases were heard here last year in which a man named Chung Chee was claimed by the Chinese authorities for various offences. The prosecution in the first case was conducted by Mr. Ewens, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Wotton. Evidence was there gone into on behalf of the prisoner in the case in which Mr. Ewens prosecuted, and the prisoner was discharged, or at any rate he was not given up on the charge investigated by the Magistrate. Mr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution in the other cases brought against the same prisoner, and those cases he believed were proved to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. In those cases the Magistrate allowed the witnesses for the prosecution to be cross-examined, and witnesses to be called on behalf of the prisoner. In this case it had been contended that the Magistrate could not accept on behalf of the prisoner any evidence whatever, and a very eminent authority on extradition, Clark, was quoted. Nothing could be stronger than the law as laid down by Mr. Clark, and he (Mr. Dennys) would quite agree with all that had been said by the learned counsel (Mr. Francis) with regard to that if this case came under the extradition law as applied in England under the act of 1870 and the extension of that Act in 1873. But section 17 of the Act said the Act might be applied with certain modifications by Order in Council to any British possession. That had not been done with regard to Hongkong, and the law by which the court was governed was contained in Ordinance 2 of 1850 and the explanatory Ordinance 2 of 1871. Before going into those Ordinances he would ask his Worship's attention to the Treaty referred to in the second Ordinance. By the Treaty of Tientsin, section 21, two different things were provided for, one referring to criminal subjects of China who take refuge in Hongkong, and the other to Chinese offenders who take refuge on board British ships at the open ports of China.\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364",

        "content_text": "u. Kwok Asing, which was decided in the Privy Council on appeal from the Supreme Court of this Colony. As far as this case is concerned, we would respectfully submit that the only point decided by the Privy Council in that case was that the Chinese Authorities could not claim the rendition of a person they accused of piracy on the high seas (piracy jure gentium), as that was an offence triable within this Colony.\n\nOne other important point that was raised by Mr. J. J. Francis, who was at that time the Attorney for Kwok Asing, was that the Ordinance 2 of 1850 was a dead letter, as all treaties made previously to the passing of the Ordinance had been abrogated or put an end to by the war between England and China in 1857; and Mr. Francis argued that the Ordinance could not be considered to be revived or to apply to the cases where rendition was claimed under the Treaty of Tientsin negotiated after the war.\n\nThe question of what was a \"prima facie case\" or what was \"probable cause\" was not raised or argued, and there was no binding judicial decision as to what was sufficient to justify the Magistrate in saying that a prima facie case had been made out, or that the words \"probable cause for believing that the said person has committed such crime or offence\" are the legal equivalent of the words \"on proof of their guilt,\" contained in Ordinance 2 of 1871, the latter Ordinance not affecting the decision of the Privy Council as it was passed after Mr. Francis' objection had been raised; but Lord Justice Mellish, who delivered the judgment, stated while the appeal was being argued that he had an impression that a Crown Colony has not jurisdiction to make such a law as Ordinance 2 of 1871.\n\nAs the Privy Council decided that piracy jure gentium was not an Extradition crime, it became unnecessary to decide whether Ordinance 2 of 1850 was in force, and nothing is said about it in the judgment.\n\nWith reference to the Tientsin Treaty, which is not, as we have above pointed out, an Extradition Treaty between England and China in the ordinary sense of the words, we would call the attention of His Excellency to the fact that there are two articles, Nos. 21 and 23, which refer to the criminal and civil Jurisdiction of the Courts in Hongkong over Chinese subjects, and we point this out as showing that it was considered necessary in dealing with China, where the law of exterritoriality is in force as to Europeans, to insert clauses which are not to be found, as far as we are aware, in any Treaties in existence between civilized states.\n\nThese two articles specially provide that in case of a Chinese criminal taking refuge in this Colony, on proof of guilt, he shall be delivered up, and that in case of a Chinese incurring debts in Hongkong, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Court of Justice on the spot.\n\nSupposing, therefore, Ordinances 2 of 1850 and 2 of 1871 not to be law, which, as we have above stated, seems extremely doubtful, then there is no legal provision whatever in existence which enables His Excellency the Governor to carry out the Tientsin Treaty, and there is no law in Hongkong under which Leong Afu can be detained or handed over.\n\nAs Lord Justice Mellish says: \"There is no doubt that in England, no treaty unconfirmed by Act of Parliament would be sufficient to enable a person to be given up.\"\n\nSupposing, as we say, that the local Ordinances are valid, we humbly submit to His Excellency that he cannot order Leong Afu to be delivered over to torture and execution by the Chinese Authorities unless he has been proved to be guilty of the offence charged against him by Li Loi.\n\nWe think it hardly necessary to ask His Excellency to say that no such thing has been done.\n\nWhat the Magistrate, before whom the prisoners were brought, has done is this - he has made no enquiry or investigation into the guilt or innocence of Leong Afu, but he has expressed in terms capable of no mistake and of no misinterpretation that he considers the charge brought forward by Li Loi to be false from beginning to end, and he has simply committed the prisoners to gaol, because, reading his instructions from the Government as he does, he has no right to enquire into the guilt of the accused.\n\nAll he can do is to register the statements made on declaration before him.\n\nWe do not intend to point out the contradictions and falsehoods contained in the depositions taken before Mr. Wodehouse, as we should be repeating what Mr. Dennys has already urged to the Magistrate,\n\nbut with reference to the statement of Li Sui, the cook, we would call attention to the fact that he was not cross-examined, as he did not in any way implicate the 1st or 3rd prisoners, who at the time of his examination, were the only two represented by Solicitors.\n\nWoo Achuk was not cross-examined, as she incriminated none of the prisoners.\n\nAs to the declarations which we forward, His Excellency will see from the dates upon which they were made that two of the witnesses, Dr. Fung Sai Tau and the landlord Luk Kai Ming, were examined afterwards on the hearing of the case before Mr. Meekin, in which Li Loi and Lung Avau, the Chinese Alandaria and his principal witnesses, were charged with perjury at the instance of our Mr. Dennys.\n\nThese two witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., who appeared as Counsel for the defence, and their evidence was in no way shaken.\n\nIt was just at the close of the examination of the landlord, Luk Kai Ming, that the Magistrate was directed by the Attorney-General, as we submit without any legal authority, to stay proceedings against Li Loi, and there then being sufficient evidence before the Magistrate to justify a committal for trial before the Supreme Court of Lung Ayau for perjury, Mr. Dennys did not see any necessity for calling further witnesses, but had Mr. Wodehouse allowed witnesses for the defence of Leong Afu to have been called, we were prepared to produce on his behalf all the witnesses whose declarations we enclose.\n\nIn conclusion, we again ask His Excellency to have the prisoner Leong Afu immediately discharged from Gaol, and suggest that unless this be done and the prisoner allowed to immediately quit the Colony unmolested by Chinese Officials, the promise of protection to Chinese frequenting Hongkong made by Her Majesty when Hongkong was ceded to the British Crown will become absolutely of no effect, and any person of Chinese descent, even though a British subject by birth or naturalisation, residing in Hongkong who may offend any Chinese Mandarin, will be subject to be renditioned to torture and to the mockery of a trial from which our client, the late U-shap, was only too glad to escape by strangling himself in his cell during one of the frequent adjournments of this case, and this too, although there was not the faintest doubt that the evidence given against him was false.\n\nWe have the honour to forward you this letter in triplicate, and to request that whatever steps His Excellency the Acting Governor may take as to the release of our client, he will have the same forwarded to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nWe have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nDENNYS & Mossop.\n\nHon. F. Stewart, LL.D.,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nDECLARATIONS.\n\nIn the Police Court of Hongkong. - In the matter of an application for the rendition of Ching Sam, U Ashap, and Tsang Achun, under Ordinance No. 2 of 1850.\n\n1.

Wodehouse, Magistrate, on the 7th March, in the case in which Ching Sam, U Shap, and Tsang Chun, alias Leung Afu, were charged with robbery and murder at a place called Wong Po in the district of Shan Tak in the province of Kwang-tung in Chinese Territory on the night of the 9th October 1886, by alleging that the said Tsang Chun formed one of a gang of robbers who, during the night of the 9th October, 1883, broke into a dwelling house at Taihow and forcibly took him, the said Leung Ayau, to a place called Wong Po, whereas in truth the said Tsang Chun was at the time stated in Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong.\n\nIn the second count Leung Ayau is charged with committing perjury by declaring that he had never been in gaol either in Hongkong or China and swearing that he had no prison marks on his person, whereas he had frequently been imprisoned for theft in China and had been branded on the arm and face with the marks denoting theft or thief.\n\nPage 198",

That was the only report he made to any Chinese Official or Justice of the Peace. In respect of the robbery, the Suntate Magistrate did not examine witnesses and Kwan Shap Yat says that he did not speak to the Magistrate; afterwards he said that the only words he spoke to the Magistrate were \"Your Worship, redress wrongs: petition.\" He did not send any complaint to any Mandarin.\n\n11.\n\n12. The Justices sent for him on the 20th June. They did not tell him that they had heard from Li Joi in Hongkong with witnesses. He had not spoken to the Justices with reference to this robbery before the 20th June, and that he wanted to see them.\n\n13. With respect to Ng Mi-fin's evidence, it is strange to say the least that his brother should have taken him to the Justices to be reprimanded for his misdeeds. He says, \"I am not a member of the band now.\" The Justices \"reprimanded my brother, and my brother came down upon me last year. He took me to the Justices, and they compelled me to be a good man.\" He says he saw the Justice My Lenny Ming that day, nor on the 21st June, that he had never spoken to him before, nor had Ng Keying Ming spoken to him. He says \"The Justice told me that Ching Sam had been arrested in Hongkong and that I was to come down and identify him. The Justice knew I was a robber, and that my head ought to be cut off.\"\n\nThe question may be fairly asked, how did the Magistrate know that Ng Mi-fing could identify Ching Sam?",

Ng thi fun had made a full confession; it is not likely that he would have been let off with only a reprimand, and he did not; how is it that the Magistrate sent for him? I will allude to this point later on.\n\nIt is worthy of remark that no watchman except Chan Man should have gone after the robbers, when there was another watch house much nearer to the Kevan house than his.\n\nHe does not know where the Kevan house was, and he says he did not make any report about what happened on the night of the robbery.\n\nHe came to see me. I did not speak to the Justice. He said, \"Were you wounded last night?\" I said, \"Yes.\" That was all that passed between us. He went to Jan Shek to be cured; while there, he did not make any report to any official. He returned to Yeung Ki on the 2nd May 1887. He did not make any official complaint when he came back.\n\nFrom the depositions, it appears that the Magistrates or Justices had no evidence at all before them to connect the accused with the robbery of the Kwan's house. As far as I can see, they had made no enquiry, and the persons whom the Justices sent down to give evidence had not made any complaint or report, yet the Justices and Ma Ming at once sent for Kwan Sheep-i, Chan Man, and Ng thi-fun to come down and identify the accused.\n\nNow, did they know that the accused had anything to do with the Kwan robbery, or that these witnesses knew anything of the case? The Justices seem to have framed the complaint and then looked for the witnesses.\n\n157\n\n290\n\n9",

The Pacific Mail Company's office was tastefully decorated with rows of lanterns, with the American flag and the Union Jack floating at each end, and small flags of the two nations crossed in the centre. Crossing over the street and proceeding eastwards, passing the Victoria Hotel, already described, we come to Messrs. Turner and Co.'s hong, where there was a pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns. The China Fire Insurance Company had banners hanging from each window, and \"God bless our Queen\" worked in small oil lamps in front of the verandah. Acbee's furniture store had small coloured oil lamps along the balustrading of the verandah, and strings of Japanese lanterns. Messrs. Framjee Hormusjee & Co. had large clusters of coloured lamps hanging in each of the verandah arches, five on each floor, with stars of small coloured oil lamps on the pillars of the upper floor with spear heads of the same description of lamps on the end pillars, the whole forming a very beautiful display. Rose and Co. had a row of lanterns in front and Messrs. Wotton and Deacon a double row. Messrs. Lane, Crawford and Co.'s premises were tastefully decorated with two \"V. Rs.\" worked in flowers on the top of the porch, lanterns hanging in the porchway underneath, and clusters of lamps on the pediments.\n\nWestward of Pottinger-street one of the most striking illuminations was that of the Stag Hotel, which had a gilt framed oil painting of Her Majesty, with lamps round the arches of the verandahs of all four storeys, and a good display of lanterns on the side of the house. The Man On Insurance Co. also had an effective display, a large number of lanterns being used, many of them of unusual patterns. The Ko Shing Theatre had a \"V. R.\" in glass transparency over the door and the year \"1887.\" Lai Hing and Co. had a gaudy illumination, \"1887\" in the middle with the \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other. Other houses illuminated were The Land We Live In tavern, the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, the London Hotel, W. Peterson's boarding house, the German Tavern, and the Grand Hotel. The Fire Brigade Station had on the front face of the tower a design in small oil lamps - \"1837-1887\" in the middle, with the \"V\" and \"R\" on the right and left respectively. The Queen's-road side of the building had coloured lanterns. On Chinese establishments which had lit up we read the names of Ses Woo, tailor, Wang Hing, jeweller, Wing Hing, dealer in porcelain, Yu Chong, also dealer in porcelain, Tang Cheong, tailor, Kum Kee, Chinese shipping agent, E. Sing, printer, Fuk On, \"Agent in Sailors and Fireman,\" Yip Sang, dealer in curios, Woo Choong, compradore, Hung Shing, curio dealer, King Wo Shing, Him Wo, Ah Nam, tailor, Yee On, tailor, Yen Sing, curio dealer, Nam Hing Loong, compradore, Achan, photographer, Nam Shing, tailor, Yong Heng, dealer in Chinese goods, Aping, tailor, Ahing, tailor, Song Yuen, photographer, Sun Shing, curio dealer, whose show was considerably above the average; Wah Loong, dealer in Chinese goods, who also made a good show; Fung Hing, tailor, Teen Seng, printer, Seng Yuen, portrait painter, and Sam Hing Street, who had quite a brilliant display. Our enumeration, however, gives the names of only a small fraction of those who took part in the illumination and includes none of the large native hongs who have not their name in English on their signboard. The Chinese participation in the illumination as regards shops and houses, was very general, and in almost every street the Kai fong had done something in the way of erecting arches or sheds for the numerous entertainments and exhibitions of marionettes.\n\nGoing up Ice House Street, we noticed a square of white lanterns at the top of the Ice House, and at Afong's studio lanterns in clusters. Both Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co.'s and Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.'s hongs were brilliantly illuminated with rows of lanterns, and looking down Duddell-street steps the illuminations of the same houses on their other side were seen, as were the lanterns which lighted up the front of Messrs. Reiss & Co.'s premises. A fine gas illumination at Messrs. Noronha and Co's, in Zetland street, also showed up well from this neighbourhood. The design was \"Q. V., star, R. I.\" with the figures \"50\" beneath. The Masonic Hall had the square and compasses on its northern face, and the Masonic Club a similar design in red and white framed in blue lamps on the north, and on the south side the monogram V. R. in red lanterns above the entrance. Going along Albert-road the Public Offices were found in darkness, but the top of St. John's Cathedral tower was illuminated with blue lanterns and formed a conspicuous object from many points of view. St. John's Place was almost covered with lanterns, chiefly white and red, which had a most effective appearance standing out from the surrounding darkness from the few points from which they were visible.\n\nGovernment House had on its northern face the motto \"Domine salvam fac Reginam,\" illuminated by gas in globes in 4ft. letters; a 6ft. crown, two 7ft. stars, \"V. R.,\" two masonic stars, a half star of 10ft. diameter in the centre of the top cornice, two half-stars at the corners of the cornice, and a line of jets up the sides and along the top cornice; the effect of all this light artistically arranged was very fine. The other side of Government House was not illuminated, but the roadway, with numerous lanterns dotted about in the trees and on the bank of the Public Gardens and the small oil lamps running along the walls, was like a picture in fairy land. The entrance to Government House was decorated for day effect with imposing shields and trophies of flags. The Royal Artillery Mess in College Gardens was well lit up with lanterns and had a device springing from the roof.\n\nIn Stanley-street Messrs. Rozario and Co. had a gas illumination showing \"R. & Co.\" and the Oriental Dispensary, and Messrs. Dunn, Melbye & Co.'s and Mr. Brandt's establishments were illuminated with lanterns. In D'Aguilar-street Messrs. Gilman and Co. had a transparency over the door with the name of the firm and a large mass of lanterns. Messrs. Grossman and Co.'s hong was also lit up with lanterns, and amongst the occupants of Club Chambers on the opposite side of the street lanterns were hung out in profusion by Messrs. Justus Lembke & Co., Mr. Naudin, the Telephone Exchange, and the Punjom Mining Co. Messrs. Guedes and Co., at the corner of Wellington-street, had red and white lanterns on the top floor. Messrs. D. D. Oflia and Co. had lanterns arranged in the arches of the verandah and in lines below, and Mrs. Heymans, dressmaker, hung out the red ensign grouped with two French flags in the centre, and lanterns along the verandah. A large proportion of the Chinese in this street had also illuminated, amongst them Kwong Shing, contractor, Bing Shing, bootmaker, Chan Hang, printer, Yee Hing, contractor, Ling Atin, contractor, Wah Suo, picture frame maker, Hung Qua, portrait painter, who showed a specimen of his skill in a portrait of the Queen; Pow Chin, contractor, Sang Cheong, and Chee Sing, printer.\n\nIn Lower Wyndham Street the Club Germania was very tastefully illuminated with Japanese lanterns. The entrance was lined out in red and white lanterns, with one bearing the Union Jack in the centre and at the doorway the German and British flags were draped. Above was the red ensign with the German flag on each side. The remainder of the building was covered with white lanterns. The opposite buildings, occupied by Messrs. Raedecker & Co. and the China Mail, showed strings of coloured lanterns on the verandah of the upper storey, and many of the houses further up the hill were similarly decorated, one Chinese house occupied by Europeans, however, having flags and lamps stretching far across the road. The parapet of the tower of St. Paul's College was fringed with coloured lanterns, and from the summit rose a lofty cross formed by white Japanese lanterns, which from its commanding altitude was very conspicuous. Darkness reigned at the corner of D'Aguilar-street, but a very showy and well-designed arch was erected to form the entrance to Glenealy.\n\nThis was of imperial yellow picked out with leaf decorations and with green pediments. Over the archway were the words in scarlet on a blue ground \"Salve Imperatricem,\" and the face of the structure was ornamented with gilt stars and the arms of the three kingdoms on shields. Numerous coloured lanterns were suspended, and when illuminated it proved exceedingly effective. The road up Glenealy was lined throughout with various coloured lanterns, and the rockery in the centre half way up was covered with a pyramidal structure of lanterns. Mr. Bottomley's house and grounds at the foot of Glenealy were most tastefully lit up with lanterns and little glass lamps; the latter glittering among the trees had a very charming effect. Upper Wyndham Street and Hollywood Road were partially illuminated, but without any general design. Messrs. B. Mijran & Co., S. J. David & Co., Messrs. Kaw Hong Take & Co., and Messrs. Mirza Ebrahim & Co. were among the most brilliant, and further on several Parsee firms, Messrs. B. N. Mehta & Co., Tata & Co., Mehta & Co., and others, had quite a large display of lanterns in various designs.\n\n535\n\n9.",

But the contractor shall be paid by instalments; and each Marine Lot-owner shall sign an agreement to contribute a proportionate part as and when any instalment becomes payable. Such proportionate parts to be fixed by the Surveyor General and paid by the Marine Lot-owners at one month's previous notice on the former's receipts.\n\nResolution 3.—That the proposed tramway road shall be of 75 feet wide, but the other proposed new road of 50 feet only, the land being too valuable to be dedicated to the public more than is necessary.\n\nResolution 4.—That paragraphs B and C of condition 8 in the letter from the Acting Colonial Secretary dated the 11th August last relating to back-yard and window should be struck out.\n\nResolution 5.—That the costs of the reclamation shall be estimated and the terms of the contract with the contractor settled by two or more surveyors to be appointed by the Marine Lot-owners. Such estimate and contract to be approved of by the Surveyor General and the works supervised by him.",

WHARRY, M.D. Government Civil Hospital,\n\nHongkong, 22nd February 1887.\n\n2. Strychnos (nux vomica) N.O. Loganiaceæ. Pên tsao, No. 387.\n\nI. 番木鼈 II. 馬錢子 III. 苦實把豆\n\nCantonese Mandarin Fan muk Fan mu pit. pieh. Ma tsin Ma chien taz. tzů. Ma shat K'u shih pp tan. pa tou. Fshatwo shih IV. RAM ak po to. I'è pa tu.\n\nThe above characters are taken from the Pin ts'ao. The second appears to be the most common name in Hongkong.\n\nIn the Chinese drug-shops are to be found, under one or more of the above names, the seeds of a species of Strychnos which are indistinguishable from the Nux Vomica seeds of western pharmacies. The native merchants in Hongkong state that the supply comes from Sze chuen.1\n\nThese seeds are much larger than those furnished by the fruits of the only two species of Strychnos actually known to grow in China, and although the information given in the Pen ts'ao, as to the plant yielding Ma tsin tzů having been introduced - the date is not given - from some Mahommedan country, points unquestionably to S. nux vomica, we must decline to ascribe it to this particular species in the absence of more precise information.\n\n1. See also F. Porter Smith, Contributions towards the Mat. Med. and Nat. Hist. of China (1871) p. 156.\n\n2. paniculata, Champ., Hongkong and adjacent continent; and S. angustifolia, Benth., Hongkong. Mora Hongkongensis (1881), p. 282.\n\nThe seeds of these two species will be again referred to in a future paper.\n\nIt may not be out of place to mention here, that S. nux vomica is a widely distributed plant, being found in N. Australia, India, Ceylon, Burmah, Siam, and according to Loureiro, in Cochin China, where it is known as Cay cu chi, a name which is not unlike the Hindustani term for this plant kuchila.3\n\nThe Chinese do not appear to be aware of the poisonous action of these seeds on man. In the Pên ts'ao,4 contrary to expectation, we find the plant placed in the climbing group, and not in the poisonous section as in the case of Gelsemium elegans. The writer states, however, that they are reputed to have a poisonous effect on dogs, and that the tree yielding them grows in... Chang Chow, C. Kung shan, in the province of Sze chuen. They are recommended to be used in colds, fevers, and throat affections: also, in certain cases of abdominal swellings and tumours. It appears also to have been used as a remedy in diseases of the eye, and as an agent in procuring abortion.\n\nAmong the Chinese in Canton and Hongkong this drug finds but little favour as an internal remedy. It is mostly used externally, mixed with other drugs, in the form of powders, ointments and other preparations in the treatment of sores and skin diseases.\n\nThe authors will be glad to examine the flowers and fruit of the Sze chuen variety of Strychnos yielding these seeds: the flowers and leaves should be soft, either dried between folds of bibulous paper or preserved in spirit; the fruit should be forwarded carefully bottled in spirit or brine.\n\nHONGKONG, February 25th, 1887.\n\n1.

Before leaving this section of my report I would respectfully urge on the Government the necessity of introducing measures for controlling the sale of certain medicines which are used by the Chinese for criminal poisoning. The value to the Police of a Sale of Poisons Ordinance in their endeavours to secure the detection of the crime of poisoning would, I believe, be considerable.\n\n21. It will of course be urged that the usefulness of such a measure, in respect of the sale of vegetable poisons, is by no means evident, seeing that there are, growing wild in the Colony, the very plants which furnish the drug the sale of which it is proposed to control; and that a criminal would be hardly likely to purchase of a druggist or herbalist a poison which he could gather without much trouble in the Colony. Objections of this character are of course entitled to some weight. A perusal of the records of the crime of murder by poisoning will, however, show that the criminal, in matters of detail, is by no means so astute as people imagine.\n\n22. I will only incidentally allude to this matter now as it is my intention to lay my views on this subject before the Government in the form of a special communication.\n\n躁",

        "content_text": "520\n\n( 26 )\n\nHe issued sub-licenses, and had got from the Opium Farmer practically a monopoly of the sale of prepared Opium in the colony. The Opium Farmer was not at liberty to grant any licenses for preparing opium, having been deprived of that power, which former Farmers had. He had two establishments for preparing opium, one of which was over at Mongkok, and he was in the habit of receiving there and at his place here opium the property of his licensee, which he prepared for the licensee, charging him $100 a chest in all, $65 being for the fee and the remainder for expenses. At Mongkok Punti workmen were employed, and one method of preparation, and at the establishment on this side Amoy workmen and another method. The licensee if he wanted the opium for one purpose sent it over to Mongkok to be prepared and if for another purpose it was prepared on this side. On the 4th and 5th September he purchased twelve chests of opium and for the removal of these twelve chests to Mongkok the usual permits were obtained in the name of the Opium Farmer, who assumed the responsibility of the opium being accounted for. The learned counsel detailed the process by which permits are obtained and traced the connection by which he intended to show that the permits which would be put in applied to the particular opium seized. The opium was taken down to the cargo boat in chests, put on board before six o'clock and about that time the boat left. On that evening there was a very strong tide running with little or no breeze. The junk could make little or no progress and the opium was transferred to small boats to be taken over to Mongkok. At that place there was a long stretch of shallow water and mud without any proper landing stage, and it had always been the custom to unpack the opium either in the godowns or in the junk, for convenience in carrying it ashore, as they could not carry it in chests, and that was done in this case.\n\nHe would call people from the various godowns from which the opium was obtained to prove the marks and numbers of the chests, and the owner of the cargo boat, who would explain how the chests were broken and the opium put into bags on board the junk and passed on to two boats as the more convenient way under the circumstances of the tide and wind of getting it over to Mongkok. He would also call the Opium Farmer, who would state that what was done was with his consent, these people being practically his partners. The covers of the chests, with their marks and numbers, would also be produced. If he succeeded in proving what he had stated, he thought his Worship would have no difficulty in finding the opium was in possession of the prisoners simply as that of their masters, that their masters were properly in possession of that opium, amounting in all to twelve chests, and that it was properly and lawfully on its way to Mongkok.\n\nInspector Bremner was recalled for cross-examination. He stated the positions of the boats at the time of the seizure, and said that even under the circumstances of the tide on the night in question he would not expect to find boats taking that direction to reach Mongkok.\n\nIn reply to question by his Worship the witness said the man in charge of one of the boats told him they were going to Mongkok, but afterwards changed his mind and said he did not know where they were going. The man also said he was unfortunate to get caught, that the seizure was a good chance for witness, but that he was only to have had $10 for his share. There was a pass over the hills from Mongkok.\n\nLain Chune Sing, of the Yune Tak firm, No. 121, Praya Central, was then called, and gave particulars of the opium in question in accordance with the statement of counsel. He said the opium was sent to Mongkok because the expenses were smaller there and the water was better.\n\nL. G. D'Almada, clerk in the Imports and Exports Office, identified the permits and the applications on which they were issued.\n\n(97)\n\nKoh Ching Seng, the Opium Farmer, also gave evidence as to the Lam Chune Sing being his licensee, and of the custom of sending opium over to witness's factory at Mongkok. He had three factories, one at West Point, one at East Point and one at Mongkok. The reason he had a factory at Mongkok was that the water was better and there was a constant supply. The supply of Pokfulam water was not constant and was often muddy. He explained that he would have to account for the twelve chests of opium in question, as he was only allowed by his contract to boil 3,600 chests a year, and if he was debited with more than that quantity in the books of the Superintendent of Imports and Exports he would have to pay an additional sum for each chest.\n\nAt this stage the case was adjourned until Tuesday at 2.30\n\nPOLICE COURT.\n\n17th September.\n\np.m.\n\nLARGE CONFISCATION OF OPIUM AND HEAVY PENALTIES,\n\nThe case in which six men were charged with being in possession of 411 lbs. of Malwa opium and 1,382 lbs. of Patna opium in quantities of less than one chest were again before the court on remand. Mr. Francis, Q.C., instructed by Mr. Webber, appeared under instructions from the owner of the opium for the defence.\n\nThe case for the prosecution, as appeared at the former hearings, was that the opium was found packed in bags on board two sampans in the harbour at night. The defence was that the opium was being lawfully conveyed to the Opium Farmer's boiling establishment at Mongkok and that the chests had been broken and the contents packed in bags simply for convenience of landing.\n\nA number of witnesses were now called by the defence to trace the opium from the godowns where it had been stored to the sampans, and to identify it as the contents of the chests mentioned in the removal permits. The cargo boatman gave evidence to the effect that he had often previously taken opium on board his boat for Mong-kok and had it packed in bags on the way over.\n\nMr. Francis then addressed the Court.\n\nHe submitted that the opium seized was in the possession of the first, second, and fourth prisoners, the others being simply boat people. The possession by the first, second, and fourth was really possession by the Yuen Tak Hong, to which the opium belonged. The question therefore arose whether the Yuen Tak Hong was lawfully or unlawfully in possession of it, and he submitted the possession was lawful, the master of the hong having received permits in the name of the Opium Farmer from the Imports and Exports Office authorising him to transfer it from the godowns of the importers to the Opium Farmer's place at Mongkok. The master of the Yuen Tak hong was really the licensed retail seller of prepared Opium, under the Opium Farmer, and he was also a large exporter of prepared opium. There seemed to be no provision in the Opium Ordinance for the exportation of prepared Opium at all and no one was supposed to be in the possession of prepared Opium without a document in a particular form from the person from whom he bought it and that it was intended solely for local consumption.\n\nAs a matter of fact it was known the Opium Farmer had for many years past largely exported to California and other countries his own prepared Opium. The owner of the Opium in this case was in the habit of",

        "content_text": "## OPINIONS OF THE SHANGHAI PRESS\n\n### The China Gazette, August 3rd\n\nWe hope the British and American Governments are pleased with the result of their policy in China. If they had made up their minds to definitely abandon their wretched and deserted nationals to the tender mercies of the Chinese mandarins and the murderous mobs at their command, they could scarcely have gone a better way about attaining that desirable object than they have followed. The inscrutable and cold-blooded apathy with which the two governments named (British and American) have looked upon the unparalleled series of outrages in Szechuen province is already bearing fruit in other parts of China, as we foretold at the time it would.\n\nAlready, in the case of the Kucheng outrages, an effort is being made by the apologists of Chinese ferocity to put the blame upon a secret society—a Vegetarian Society above all others—the Vegetarian being one of the strictest sects which objects to the shedding of all blood! But we lay all the blame for the Kucheng outrages upon the emasculated Diplomatic and Consular services by whom Great Britain and the United States choose to be represented in China. The cup, however, is now about full. We do not think that the great world in Europe and America, which goes into hysterics over the assaults by the Turks upon the wretched Armenians, can longer stand aside and see English ladies butchered by these fiends, whom we have been taught to worship and to treat as the Israelites did the great Molok.\n\nThe time has come when the relations between foreigners and Chinese will have to be put upon a different basis, that at the mouth of the cannon. We think that the time has come when justice shall be no longer asked for, but when vengeance must be exacted. It is no longer a case for diplomacy; it is a case for the gatling gun, the rifle, and the bayonet. All the promises of protection which the Emperor of China and his lying mandarins have made have been broken. The tongue in the cheek, as these promises were given, is exposed, and the ever-present devil of Chinese hatred is encouraged by the attitude of those who are supposed to lend foreigners in China protection. That protection is, like Chinese promises and treaty obligations, a criminal fraud.\n\nThe time has come when the appeal for vengeance for the blood of those murdered women must be carried beyond the deadening walls of Peking, and addressed direct to the great world outside; We think that from the blood of the murdered English women of Kucheng a new race will arise, and the hopeless Incubus which weighs down our present relations with China will be broken for ever. To do this a different policy is needed, the policy which had long since been abandoned in the delusive belief that China is a civilized country. She is more savage to-day than the Barbary States fifty years ago, and her mandarins are to the Bashi Bazouk what the vulture is to the cooing dove.\n\nThe fiendish officials who organized these murders and outrages are wise in their generation; and over again they have shown us that they will only burn and destroy the property of French missionaries, because they know the French Government would exact vengeance for the lives of her children, but they wisely reserve their atrocities and murders for the British and Americans, whose governments stand calmly by and see such crimes committed before their eyes as long as trade flourishes. The ledgers of the mills of Manchester and Massachusetts are of more account than the lives of English and American men and women in China.\n\n### North China Daily News, August 5th\n\nIt is hard to say that the massacre at Wha sang is a direct consequence of the indifference of the foreign Ministers at Peking, but we may well believe that the officials would have prevented such a tragedy had they known that it would be followed by swift punishment. We do not envy Sir Nicholas O'Conor his feelings when he heard the sad news—or the Foreign Office in London, if it is on the Foreign Office and not on the Minister that the blame should be laid.... But whoever organised this massacre knew that the officials would not interfere. A mob dare not collect in China unless with the connivance of the officials; and as the officials see that none of them are ever punished for an anti-Christian outrage, why should they try and prevent it? If our Ministers, who have fleets at their disposal, had insisted on the punishment of the Chêngtu officials, the good of it would have been felt all over the Empire; but instead they consent to one of them being put on the Commission of Enquiry!\n\n### Shangkat Mercury, August 3rd\n\nThis (massacre at Kucheng) is an answer to our Ministers' action jeeringly traced with fingers of blood, and what have our Ministers to say to this? If prompt and decisive steps are not taken to repress murder and lawlessness against foreigners by the native authorities; and the foreign Ministers at Peking, in whose power it is to render present and future protection and bring the perpetrators to justice, decline to fittingly exert themselves, to whom is the foreign citizen in China to appeal for help? For how long is this system of weak-kneed scraping to a number of lying, cowardly Chinese officials at Peking—known as the Tsungli Yamen—who completely gull and convince our Ministerial Representatives to continue?\n\nWe do not usually indulge in invective; we usually avoid doing so, but in face of the Peking demonstration and the murderous reply from Kucheng, where five harmless and good women, living noble lives for the benefit of those who killed them, is a reply which makes the blood of every foreigner boil and his fingers itch to be at the throats of the murderers—and in Heaven's name how long are Europeans in China to submit to it?\n\n## DESCRIPTION OF KUCHENG\n\nKa-Cheng, or \"the ancient field,\" is finely situated in a plain surrounded by mountains. It is an important city in the province of Fukien, with a large population; but not more than two-thirds of the space enclosed within the walls, which are four miles and a half in circumference, is occupied by the habitations of the living. \"It is,\" observes Archdeacon Wolf, \"a necropolis, a city of the dead. Thousands of coffins occupy the spare ground inside the walls, and there are numbers of sheds built to protect them from the rain and from the heat of the sun. The laws of China forbid burial within the city walls, but they do not prohibit this practice of keeping the coffins exposed in the city to public gaze.\"\n\nNo manufactures are carried on, the inhabitants being all engaged in agricultural pursuits; and the city is described as \"a quiet old place, the very people having a sleepy look\" partly, no doubt, owing to their being inveterate opium smokers, which gives \"a cadaverous appearance.\"\n\nThe stream which, in its lower course, becomes a foaming torrent, is, in this upland plain, a peaceful and pretty river, and almost encircles the city. Within the walls is a pagoda dedicated to its honour, and designed to propitiate its wrath. Bishop Alford mentions that it is crossed by “a very lofty bridge of five well-spanned arches, with a covered roof.\" It is utilised for the irrigation of the fields by means of large water-wheels, twenty feet in diameter, which raise the water and discharge it into troughs laid to convey it over the country.\n\nKucheng was, according to the Shanghai Mercury, occupied as a Church of England mission station at the end of 1865. Two catechists went first as pioneers, and hired a room for a preaching chapel. Then Mr. Wolfe visited the city, preached to large and attentive audiences, and left one of the catechists to carry on the good work.\n\nPRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY CHESNEY DUNCAN, AT THE OFFICE OF \"THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,\" PEDDER'S HILL, VICTORIA, IN THE COLONY OF HONGKONG.\n\n305",

        "content_text": "# \nthat \"its general appearance, as viewed from the sea, is inviting, there being a pleasant variety of hill and dale, and on the northern and eastern sides much cleared land, cultivation rising probably to the level of 2,000 feet. Above this, all appears to be buried in thick forests of pines and other northern trees, even to the highest peak, Mount Auckland, 6,558 feet above the level of the sea.\" As I saw it, however, 3 miles out to sea, and just before sunrise, the appearance of the great island was weird and gloomy in the extreme, a repellent contrast to the smiling archipelago I had left the night before. There among the islets is indeed \"a pleasant variety,\" the peaks are frayed into a thousand shapes, and flushed with red sandstone where they are not green with grass. Here the land rose smoothly from the sea like the back of a monstrous cachalot studded with huge bosses, grey cones that seemed like ghosts of, what in truth they are, dead craters. Over Mount Auckland, whose mass might have broken the spell of this gruesome procession, hung a thick pall of clouds. The island, in its silence and awesomeness, appeared indeed such as we imagine to be at closer quarters, the scenery of the moon.\n\nIt was not till I got ashore that the irrational horror began to lift. Quelpart is in fact of volcanic formation, and the cliffs along which we were skirting are formed of masses of black lava. It is in an opening in these cliffs, some 600 yards wide, that the city of Chei-ju fronts the sea. Why it was built there became more apparent as we drew near the shore in the ship's boat. At first nothing could be seen but a forbidding beach of lava pebbles, on which the surf was breaking. Guided by the people on shore we steered for the east end of the beach, where the stones had been cleared out at the mouth of a stream and a rough bund built up. The tide had not risen sufficiently to lift our boat over the bar of pebbles until she was lightened of her passengers, who were carried ashore on the islanders' shoulders. We then observed that the stream, protected from the sea by its natural breakwater of pebbles, formed a small boat harbour, in which lay a few fishing craft, among them one Japanese with two men aboard. I was taken into the city to call on the Chief Magistrate, a friendly crowd at our heels. Our way led us past the boat harbour, creek, lagoon, or whatever it should be called, westward to the city wall. Chei-ju claims to be 1,900 years old, but was restored and reorganized only two or three centuries back. The wall looks worthy of the earlier date, so grey is it, and overgrown in parts with creepers that have thickened into wood. The gates are remarkable. The arch is not more than 12 feet high or broad, and the two leaves of the gates do not fill the whole space, squared off as they are at top. The wall, the houses, the streets, are built of lava, and this, though it makes Chei-ju a gloomy city to the eye, at least keeps it comparatively clean for the feet. The shops, such as I saw, and I think I was traversing the main street, were equally novel to me. They appear as so many cupboards, as it were, 4 feet, or little more, in depth and breadth, and 6 to 7 feet high, opening on to the street through the usual Corean window space. There can be room for only two persons in the shop, and the purchaser, I presume, negotiates from the street.\n\n## \n\nThe public offices of Chei-ju open on to the market-place, through which a flagged causeway runs. The market, they told me, is held six times a-month. On the north of the square is the Yamun proper, displaying over its gateway the legend \"Tan-la Pro-cheng-sa\" T'an-la (pronounced Talla), was the old name of Quelpart when, some 600 years ago, it was an independent kingdom, and governed by a Queen. To this day, indeed, the islanders are regarded by the Coreans as foreigners. Under the system prevailing till the present year, Quelpart was governed by a \"Moksa,\" or Prefect (literally, a pastor), residing at Chei-ju, with a \"Kunsu,\" or Warden, at Chêng-wi, and a \"Hyên-kam,\" or District Magistrate, at Tai-chêng. All these officials were under the orders of the Governor of Chulla-do. Since the Reformation, Quelpart has become an independent county or department, and a \"Koanchalsa,\" or Governor, has been appointed. Pending his arrival the former \"Moksa\" is acting in his stead, and it was to call on this official that I was being taken. He received me, not in the Yamun proper, but in a compound on the other (the south) side of the market-place. As I entered he rose and bowed, then immediately reseated himself, cross-legged, on a small square mat covered with green cloth. I sat down on the only article of furniture that at all suggested a seat, a kind of wooden grating to his right, elevated some 8 inches from the floor. The \"Hyenik's\" linguist meanwhile knelt on a mat in front of the \"Moksa,\" and handed over the despatches he had brought from Seoul; for the \"Hyenik\" had conveyed to Quelpart six persons under sentence of banishment, two for ten years, the others for life. These men were said to have been concerned in the murder of Kim Hak-o, Vice-Minister of Justice, last September. Their sentence, which, under the new rules, should also involve hard labour, seemed to trouble them little, as they made no secret of their expectation that another turn of the political wheel would shortly release them.\n\nKim Hak-o, by the way, was at one time for some eight months purser of the \"Hyenik,\" and Captain Benzenius described him as an accomplished linguist, who spoke Japanese, Chinese, and Russian, and had visited Tôkið and St. Petersburgh.\n\nThe \"Moksa\" read his despatches and talked to me, puffing the while at his long pipe, which, with its polished brass ash-tray and the inseparable brass commode, lay handy at his side. He insisted on my sharing his breakfast, and three of the little octagonal tables were brought in (the third was for the linguist) loaded with vermicelli, bêche-de-mer, and pickled vegetables, inscrutably acrid. \"Sul\" (Corean spirit) was served, hot as in China, and the \"Moksa\" emptied three cups in our honour. I can, however, indorse the remarks of the \"Shin Chosen's\" correspondent, to whom he showed himself equally hospitable: \"He was in appearance studiously simple, self-possessed, and amiable, with the air of a gentleman.\" His secretaries, who stood in a semi-circle facing him, but behind us, were dressed in the old camisole of light blue or purple; indeed, I only observed one Corean at Chei-ju who wore the regulation outer coat of black. The \"Moksa's\" own garment was of dark grey, and he had on the old-fashioned amber hat string with a jade side button. The room in which we sat was bare of everything but the articles I have described and an old halbert in one corner; opening out of it, in full view, was the \"Moksa's\" bed-room, with the usual bed-mat and small oblong pillow, pile of books, and crossed paper slips at the bed-head for memoranda. The doors to the courtyard were wide open, and were crowded with an assortment of very orderly natives. When I came out I found my Chinese servant surrounded by some dozens of them, his face beaming with satisfaction. He confided to me that the disposition of the islanders was equally friendly with that of the inhabitants of Ping-yang, whither he had accompanied Mr. Osborne last June. My brief experience pointed the same way, but perhaps I shone in the reflected light of the \"big country' man. On the other hand, the Japanese press men affirm that the people are not well behaved, and received them on their landing with abuse. This, they say, is due to the harsh treatment of the natives by Japanese fishermen, who have indeed nearly driven the Quelpart fishers from their own seas. I was told that the Awabi shell-fisheries were chiefly worked by women, who at times used to dive for pearls; and that on one occasion at least their seclusion was invaded by Japanese, and a fight ensued, in which some of the latter were killed. The Quelpart women shy of strangers more than their sisters at Chemulpo and Seoul, old traditions lingering longer in this unfrequented corner.\n\n## \n\nQuitting the Moksa's Yamên, I turned north to the city wall to see if the clouds had lifted from Mount Auckland. That giant, for such he is among Quelpart hills, is known locally as Han-la San (read Halla), and abundant traditions cluster round him. The \"Moksa\" told me that not more than one or two in 10,000 would have courage to ascend to his top, and other Coreans declared that of those who had in times past done so, the few who returned came down in a tempest of thunder and rain. It was possible, the \"Moksa\" said, in answer to my question, that a European might escape these influences, but I do not think he quite relished my proposal to come back later and try. The mountain is evidently the principal crater of the volcanic system that has raised this island, and from what glimpses I could catch of his summit, and the reports of those who, like Captain Benzenius, had circumnavigated the island, there should be little natural difficulties in climbing his sloping sides. The woods with which they are clad would probably be the chief hindrance, and the superstitious fears of the people.\n\nI went along the eastern wall of the city, accompanied by my Chinaman and a dozen or so of volunteer guides, youths of 15 or 16 for the most part, whose hats proclaimed them already married. The wall is very picturesque in parts, reminding me of the city ramparts of Wênchow in China. The mountain stream, whose embouchure forms the boat harbour, approaches the wall at this side down a wooded ravine, and passes through it in a double arch. Near the south-east corner is a kiosque, whose chief glory, according to my guides, is a slab bearing the four words, \"Snowy north, fragrant south,\" written, as they proudly informed me, by the hand of Kim Chêng-hui, better known by his nom de plume of Ch'u-sa (\"the Autumn Author\"), a calligraphist of the first half of this century, whose renown penetrated even to China. From the wall I had a good view of the neighbouring fields, if such they can be called, for they grow to all appearance little else but lava. A melancholy but not unmusical singing induced me to look over at one point, where a row of women were weeding a field in time to the chant. My guides did not quite approve my curiosity, for the reason, as far as I could gather, that the weeders were of the other--for really in this case it could hardly be called the fair--sex. Quelpart of late years has not been self-supporting. Even in good seasons, says the \"Shin Chosen,\" 2,000 bags of rice have to be shipped thither from the mainland, while in famine time 5,000 bags or more must be sent. His fellow-pressman remarks, with admirable candour, \n\nPage 722\n\nPage 439",

        "content_text": "China Mail of 21st December 1896.\n\nTHE TUNG WA HOSPITAL. APPOINTMENT OF A MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT.\n\nA meeting of the Chinese interested in the Tung Wa Hospital was held yesterday to consider the question of the appointment of a Chinese trained in Western medical methods as Superintendent of the Institution. About sixty people were present, including several kaifong people. Mr Lo Tsz-chung presided.\n\nThe Chairman said in consequence of the non-attendance of kaifong people at their meeting the previous Sunday no settlement was arrived at in the matter of the appointment of a Chinese trained in Western medical science. In an interview which they had the other day with Mr Lockhart, he refused at first to allow the appointment to stand over for a week, but on representations being made that they could not accept the responsibility of the appointment without consulting the kaifong people, the question was allowed to stand over till that day. Mr Lockhart informed them the doctor's salary would be about $1,800 per annum, and stated it was rather hard to estimate the cost of Western medicine, but said the Government was quite willing to give pecuniary aid. In regard to the present arrangement as to the engagement of a Chinese doctor for a term of three months at a salary of twenty taels per month, Mr Lockhart asked why they did not engage doctors month by month, to which they replied that they considered the present the better method. Mr Lockhart had refused to issue a notice to the kaifong people not to complain of the directors in the question of the appointment. The question had to be settled that day, and gentlemen were invited to give their opinions.\n\nMr Lam Pai-lau, a former director, thought the Governor's idea to appoint a Chinese trained in Western medical science, a good one, and they must help His Excellency to effect the appointment. The Tung Wa Hospital could only hold about 160 in-patients, and at present there were over 100 in-patients. There were scarcely sufficient rooms for the Chinese doctors to reside in, and he therefore asked where they were to find room to lodge the Chinese trained in Western medical science. He suggested that they petition the Governor to give them a site in the immediate neighbourhood of the Tung Wa on which they could erect another building. The cost of its erection would be defrayed by the kaifong people, so that they could have sufficient room to house the patients and the doctor trained in Western medical science. They must ask the Government to stand the cost of Western medicine.\n\nMr Fung Wa-chuen said he went one day to see Mr Lockhart and asked him, 'Is it the intention of His Excellency to severely punish those who say anything against the appointment?' Mr Lockhart said His Excellency did not mean that, but that His Excellency's idea was that if anyone was found to stir up trouble he was to be severely dealt with. If any gentleman wished to say anything, he had better say it now. Some time ago a commission was appointed by the Governor to investigate the conditions of the Hospital, for some European doctors said that the Tung Wa Hospital was in a bad condition and that it should be abolished. The commissioners said that the hospital did much good and that it should not be abolished. Messrs Wai A-yuk and Lo Tsz-tiu said it would be a good thing to appoint a doctor trained in Western medical science to reside in the Hospital, but it must be left to the choice of the patients whether they would be attended by a Chinese doctor or a doctor trained in Western medical science. His Excellency had power to abolish the Hospital, but His Excellency would do no such thing unless something very serious occurred. The Government was willing to give them pecuniary aid. If Hongkong was unfortunately again visited by plague, Dr Chang, if he was appointed, would be of great use to them and they would be saved the trouble of being questioned by European doctors. As Mr Lam Pai-lau said, the Hospital had not sufficient room to house the new doctor and the patients. He thought the Government would give them a site on which to erect another building. If they had to apply to the Governor for aid they should first ask for pecuniary aid and secondly for power over the new doctor. If there was no room to house the doctor, they had better appoint him subject to further arrangements, but they could not say that as there was not sufficient room they would defer the question for two or three years.\n\nMr Leung Pui-Tsz agreed with the former speaker, and said if they had a doctor trained in Western medical science, they could ask his advice at any time, even at night, when it was rather hard to get a doctor.\n\nAfter a few more remarks from the gentlemen present, the Chairman requested those who objected to the amendment to hold up their hands. No objections were signified, and the appointment of Dr Chung was therefore confirmed.\n\n409",

        "content_text": "85\n\nand this we reached at 10.15 a.m.\n\n(2)\n\nHere we were obliged to anchor and have one of the house-boats caulked and tinkered up as she had been leaking badly during the night. At noon we essayed to make a start, but some rapids, at the junction of the Kum Chuck Creek with the West River, proved too much for us, and our launch towing two heavy house-boats could make no headway against them, and so we had to put back and wait for a higher tide. These rapids will prove a very serious obstruction to steamers choosing the Hamilton Creek route, in fact, I should think almost an insurmountable one, and for that reason the Futshan Creek route will probably be the one preferred. At 3.25 p.m. we made another start, the tide being nearly full flood, and this time were successful in getting over the rapids. At last we were on the West River, and a noble river it certainly looked, fully 800-900 yards broad, and a long straight reach before us showed this breadth to be uniformly kept as far as the eye could see.\n\nStill the country on either side was flat and monotonous, but there were hills and mountains in every direction in the far distance.\n\nIt was in the afternoon that I noticed the river traffic seemed somewhat to have diminished. Here the West River joins the North River, at 7.35 p.m., when we passed Sam Shui junction. I am told it is a very fine broad river with possibilities of trade nearly as great if not equal to those of the West River. Your Excellency will be glad to know that that pioneer of commerce, Mr. John Andrew, is at present exploiting this river with a view of ascertaining what the prospects may be as regards future trade. The town of Sam Shui itself, from what one could see, seemed a large and important one, in fact, quite the largest and most important from all outward appearances of any of those that we had hitherto come across in our journey.\n\nX'mas morning broke muggy and warm with cloudy overcast sky, but it was fine. On either side were well-wooded hills reaching right down to the river's edge, wonderfully pretty and much resembling some of the prettiest portions of Japan. I did not notice that the river had narrowed much, in fact, it was quite remarkable how uniform it kept its width. I did notice, though, as we went along, how the volume of trade seemed to diminish. I was disappointed not to see more of it. I had been led to expect brisk river traffic right up as far as Wu-Chau-fo, but certainly the epithet \"brisk\" could not be applied to all that I saw.\n\nIn order to have a short walk on shore, we landed after breakfast at a Likin Station called Sa Ching, and there interrogated the Chinaman in charge as to the chief articles of commerce on which he levied duties: he replied \"Firewood, medicine and a certain kind of grain.\" \"Is business good?\" He replied, \"No, it is not.\" This confirmed what was apparent. Certainly we had noticed many junks loaded with firewood passing us, but if firewood is the chief staple industry, there is not much to be made out of that. I do not lose sight of the fact that possibly we may have chosen an unfortunate time of the year to ascend the river, when the trade was lax. Mr. Fraser, the Acting Consul at Canton, informs me that there is a large trade done in piece goods. All I can say is I did not see much sign of it, neither did my companions.\n\nThe Chinese are noted as farmers and tillers of the soil and in the short time that we landed and walked into the country, I observed that every available inch of land was cultivated: the peasants busy at work in the fields, and all seemingly happy and contented and prosperous looking. Everywhere they were exceedingly civil to us, and we exchanged mutual greetings of goodwill whenever and wherever we met them. I can confidently say that farm land in China if put up for sale would not fetch the starvation prices that are now being offered for similar land in England.\n\nAt 9.30 a.m., we embarked again and proceeded on our voyage, but there was nothing worthy of interest to relate. The scenery certainly was fine, and it was pleasant to sit on the deck of the launch and watch the ever-varying aspect of the country, with low-lying well-wooded hills, with dales and vales, descending right to the water's edge, and hills behind these, and yet again hills, and mountains topping these, fading away into the far distance.\n\n(3)\n\nAt 1.30 p.m. we sighted Wu-Chau-fu, and at 2 p.m. we arrived opposite the town and anchored. It had taken us exactly 27 hours, exclusive of stoppages, to steam from Canton: averaging about 6.5 miles an hour. We considered this fair going, especially as for the last 100 miles or so, the tide had been against us, with, the pilot reckoned, a 2-knot current running.\n\nFrom the deck of the launch looking at the town, we were certainly disappointed with the size of it. It is situated on only one side of the river—the left bank. There were a great number of junks moored along the shore, and up a creek which skirted the town on one side, but none of them of any great size. Two of them we noticed carrying Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s flag and evidently laden with Kerosene oil. We learnt afterwards that Jardines had an Englishman called Watts resident at Wu-Chau-fu, who superintended the sale of the oil and any other merchandise they sent up.\n\nJardine, Matheson & Co. were the only European firm represented in the town.\n\nWe went ashore at 2.15 p.m. to visit and inspect the town. As on our way up we saw telegraph posts all along the river's edge, we concluded the Imperial Chinese Telegraph had an office in the town. We made straight for this on landing, a friendly native guiding us, in order that we might send telegrams, one to Your Excellency from Mr. Whitehead and myself, the other to Sir Robert Hart from Messrs. Bredon, Beauclerk, and Whitehead.\n\nOn arriving at the office, after having passed through a most frightful succession of offensive smells in the streets nearly necessitating Mr. Beauclerk's return to the boat, we were astonished to be greeted in the most fluent English by the Chinese clerk. On enquiry, he told us he had been educated at Queen's College, Hongkong, and I must say he did infinite credit to the teaching staff of that college. He was most intelligent. His fellow clerk had also been trained at the same college and spoke English equally well.\n\nOn leaving the telegraph office we walked along the city wall to get some idea of the size of the town. It did not strike us as very extensive, and we computed the population to be about 30,000. We then descended into the streets; they were narrow, dirty and exceedingly odoriferous. However, in these respects they were not dissimilar from those in other Chinese towns. The shops, selling the usual heterogeneous mass of Chinese commodities, were small and I did not notice any big hongs: however, doubtless these will follow as the place is opened up.\n\nFrom the streets we wandered to the foreshore to see if we could discover the site that Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. had bought in anticipation of the opening of the port. We found it after a time, just outside the town, and most conveniently situated, directly on the river's edge with a clear water frontage. I am told that they bought this piece of land for a comparatively trifling sum, their astuteness in being so early in the field should bring them ample reward, as there is not the slightest doubt that the value of land will increase very much as soon as the place is opened to foreign trade. I did not notice any other site so \"eligible\" as this one. We tried to discover the site which Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had bought, but failed to do so.\n\nIt now being late in the afternoon, we retraced our way to the boat. All this time we had been followed by an ever-increasing crowd of natives, mostly children, who were very annoying, as they pressed round us and would not keep a respectful distance. Occasionally the children raised the cry of \"fan quai\"—foreign devil—and once if not twice, a few stones and mud were thrown, but this was quickly suppressed by the more...",

In the Molony report, the corrupt practices of the lower ranks of the Service were discussed, but as far as the European and Indian Police are concerned, nothing light has ever come to notice.\n\nA Commission which inquired into bribery in the Police Force in 1886 was unable to obtain any proof of its existence. They reported, para 10, that they felt convinced the Chinese Police were corrupted to a considerable extent, but no mention was made of European or Indian Officers.\n\nA reference to CSO 1890 (a document which I may mention I never saw till after the East Street seizure had been made) will, however, show that bribery did exist, and must have existed for a considerable time, among the European members of the Force, for one can hardly escape from believing the statements contained in W Wodehouse's Memorandum of the 16 August and in Mr Baldwell's letter of the 29 August 1890, especially when these documents are read in the light of the revelations contained in the enclosed report.\n\nThe statement made in W Wodehouse's Memorandum is shown by Sam Zin Tai's evidence to be correct. It was the detectives P.S. 190 Tang Chung and MPC 319 Yeung Jah who were chiefly utilized by the principal European Police Officers as their intermediaries in arranging for and collecting their bribes. The detectives Jang Ram and Ching were also utilized for the same purpose.\n\nPage 374\n\n1296",

        "content_text": "Defendant-How long after your arrival in the colony did you receive information about the gambling houses in Wa Lane?\n\nWitness-Immediately after my arrival.\n\nDid that information say how long gambling had been carried on there?--I do not think so.\n\nOn what date were those entries made in the book?-They are not dated.\n\nTo the best of your knowledge when did gambling cease in Kwai Wa Lane. How long after your arrival in the colony?-Gambling ceased during the remainder of the month of October. Then it began again. To the best of my knowledge and belief it went on until I raided the place.\n\nI am speaking about Kwai Wa Lane-All I can say about Kwai Wa Lane is that after the end of November I received no more complaints about gambling in that lane.\n\nMr. Francis--I have one question, your Worship. Does Rule 73 apply to the Inspector whom you have put in charge of these different sections for the purpose of suppressing gambling? Have they a right to send a man into a house for the purpose of finding out if gambling is going on?-Yes. The rule does not apply to those Inspectors.\n\nEach Inspector has a complete right to take whatever steps he thinks necessary to suppress gambling in his district. That is so.\n\nHis Worship-Has that been the practice in the Police Force?-The prohibition against entering these gambling houses applies to constables only.\n\nThat has been the practice?-Yes.\n\nDefendant-That is how you construe the regulation. Will you kindly look at it from a common sense point of view.\n\nHis Worship here read the regulation.\n\nDefendant-That rule affects the whole Force, from the Captain Superintendent downwards.\n\nWitness-An Inspector of Police constantly sends an informer into a gambling house to obtain information; otherwise he would not get a conviction.\n\nIs there an order prohibiting Inspectors employing informers or sending constables into these gambling houses, and have there not been prosecutions in which Inspectors have entered these houses and people have been killed and the Inspectors charged with manslaughter at the Supreme Court?-I do not know of any such order prohibiting Inspectors employing informers. With regard to the last part-\n\nHis Worship-That is all.\n\nWitness-There is a second question.\n\nHis Worship-No, there is no second question. Sign the depositions, please.\n\nCheng On, who was brought up in the custody of Acting Chief Inspector Mackie, was the next witness. He said:\n\nI am Chinese, an Excise Officer in the employ of the Opium Farm. I have been in that employ thirteen months. Before that, I was a detective in the Hongkong Police Force. I am acquainted with all or nearly all the Inspectors, and as Excise Officer, I was frequently up at the Police Court. I know defendant, Inspector Witchell. He is known as \"No. 12\" amongst the Chinese. I have paid him money. Sometimes if he was not at home, I paid his wife. From the 14th of March to the 17th of June, I have paid him $12.60 every week, each Monday. I got that money from Tung Kum. I always got this money from Tung Kum, who is the keeper of the Yee Yuon mercer's shop, Hollywood Road.\n\nBefore the first payment was made by me to the defendant, on 11th March, he invited me to his room. I went with him and conversed with him in the Inspector's quarters. Mrs. Witchell was present; she was going in and out of the room. I was speaking half in Chinese and half in English. Defendant speaks Chinese. This conversation had reference to the money payments afterwards made.\n\nHe said, \"In going round on my duty, I saw a lot of people standing at the entrance to Chung Hing Lane and Wa Lane. Then I used my stick to drive them away. Then a Chinese abused me, and said 'No. 12 is proud.' Then I ran after a Chinaman. That Chinaman ran up to the first floor and called me to come upstairs, waving his hand. As I had no warrant, I dared not go upstairs. He wanted to disgrace me.\n\nI went away and a lot of people jeered at me. I do not know who taught the Chinese to treat me in this way. They think I cannot arrest them, but I can arrest them. If I arrest them, Mr. May will be very pleased with it. I have known these gambling houses for a long time. I know that some of my fokis received some money to spend, therefore I do not wish to arrest them. If I go to arrest them, it will spoil the business of my fokis, which is a very foolish act to do. I do not wish to do such an act; I do not know why the Chinese treat me in this way. In my section, I know a house was open for two days, and the people have petitioned to Mr. May.\"\n\nI asked him, \"Who told you all this thing you have told me?\" He said, \"An old man, Saug Yung, between fifty and sixty years of age.\" I told him not to have any conversation with that man now; he is not a proper man and he does not know how to speak.\n\nOn one occasion, there was gambling going on in Kwai Wa Lane, and defendant said, \"I do not know which took Mr. May up to a house in Jervois Street to look into the second floor of a house in Kwai Wa Lane where the gambling was going on. After looking at the place, Mr. May came back to the office and sent someone to call me. Then Mr. May said to me, 'There is gambling in your place.' I replied to Mr. May, 'Sometimes.' Mr. May answered, 'Gambling going on just now.' Then Mr. May said, 'Take out a paper at once to arrest.'\"\n\nHe told me all this news. Then defendant asked me if I knew the \"fat child.\" I said, \"Yes, I know him.\" He said, \"When I go round on my duty, this man follows me and wants to speak to me.\n\nAs there were a lot of people in the street, I did not wish to speak to him.\" Witness asked Inspector Witchell, \"How do you know him?\" \"I know him,\" he replied, \"because he is the master in Chang Hing Street.\" Then Inspector Witchell said, \"I do not know why the man wanted to speak to me. I think he wants to speak to me about gambling in Kwai Wa Lane.\" I said, \"If the man were to offer you anything, don't promise him.\" He said, \"Mr. May has great power, because he had arrested once before.\" I said, \"That place cannot be kept as a gambling house.\"\n\nMr. Francis-Tell me what he said about money.\n\nDefendant--Your Worship, will you direct the witness to tell the story in his own way?\n\nMr. Francis-I am entitled to examine the witness as I like.\n\nHis Worship-I think Mr. Francis's question must be put.\n\nWitness (continuing)-The defendant said, \"I receive not a cash from this place.\" Then defendant asked me, \"Do you know those gambling people?\" I said, \"I do.\" The defendant said, \"I have a lot of children and the expenses are large. My money is not sufficient. Will you kindly go and see those persons to get some expenses for me.\" I said, \"I am afraid that the people might refuse because they are not in your section.\" Defendant said, \"If they are in my section, I won't let them keep open. As they belong to another person's section, I am not afraid. As people are eating flesh, I want you to pick up some bone; I shall be obliged if you will ask these persons for me.\"\n\nI went and saw Tung Kum, and A. Yeun or Sam Yeun. I had a conversation with Inspector Witchell about Sam Yeun. In consequence of that conversation with the Inspector, I told all I had heard to Tung Kum, who told Sam Yeun. I was there when he told Sam Yeun. Sam Yeun replied, \"Very little.\" I said, \"How much.\" He said, \"$1 a day.\"\n\nThe Magistrate-Is this evidence, Mr. Francis?\n\nMr. Francis-Yes, your Worship, I think so. He is the authorised agent of the defendant.\n\nDefendant-I object to that remark; it is nothing but humbug from beginning to end.\n\nWitness (continuing)--I told defendant what sum had been mentioned. Defendant said, \"Maskee.\" I further told him people want 10 cents for labour; I was referring to Tung Kum. I was not referring to myself. Then defendant said, \"All right, I am satisfied, I will pay him ten cents labour.\" Then I said to Mr. Witchell, \"If a man is willing to give, are you willing to receive? It is not my affair.\" The Inspector said, \"I receive.\" In accordance with that arrangement, I received $12.60 a week.\n\n445",

        "content_text": "week from Tung Kum. I took the money every Monday and paid it sometimes to the defendant and sometimes to his wife if he was not there. The $12.60 was from two gambling houses—one at Chung Hing Street and Wa Lane—$1 from each house a day and ten cents off for labour. I would know Sham Yeon again if I saw him.\n\nSam Yeon, the master of the house in Wa Lane which was raided was here brought into court in custody and witness identified him.\n\nThis concluded the witness's examination and it was decided to take Mr. Brewin's evidence before the cross-examination was proceeded with.\n\nMr. A. W. Brewin, Acting Inspector of Government Schools, said—I have knowledge of Chinese, both of the spoken language and the character. No. 1 entry in the book is, \"No. 12, $1.10; handed to Cheng On.\" Entry No. 2 reads, \"No. 12, $1,\" then there are characters signifying, \"Handed to Cheng On.\" These are crossed out. Then there are the characters, \"Handed to Tang.\" I am not certain of the last character; it is abbreviated.\n\nCross-examined—The characters, \"Handed to Cheng On,\" have been crossed out; there is a round mark over them.\n\nRe-examined—I do not know whether the Chinese book-keepers or accountants make use of that mark over an entry in a day book to show that the account has been transferred to another book.\n\nDefendant—Your Worship, I see that the Chinese witness has been taken away.\n\nHis Worship—Who has taken him away? Defendant—Inspector Mackie.\n\nMr. Francis—The witness has no right to leave the court.\n\nDefendant—The prosecution have got him in their hands to do what they like with him.\n\nHis Worship—I will see that you have a fair trial.\n\nThe adjournment for luncheon was then taken. Defendant asked to be allowed out at liberty. He had been locked up since four o'clock the previous afternoon.\n\nMr. Francis intimated that there was no objection to the defendant being allowed bail. He could insist upon bail if he liked.\n\nHis Worship asked the defendant to get bail during the adjournment.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police intimated that he would make arrangements for the defendant to be at liberty during the adjournment.\n\nAfter the adjournment the defendant cross-examined the witness Cheng On.\n\nDefendant—Are you at present an Excise Officer for the Opium Farmer?\n\nWitness—Yes.\n\nHave you been arrested under a banishment warrant?—I do not know.\n\nHave you been detained in the gaol?—Yes.\n\nSince you have been in gaol you have been brought before the Captain Superintendent?—Only once.\n\nWho was present at the time?—Mr. Deunys, the solicitor.\n\nNo one else?—No.\n\nIs that where you made the statement you made to the court this morning?—Yes.\n\nYou say you remember coming to my quarters on the 14th March last?—On the 11th March.\n\nWas that the first time you had been there?—That was not the first occasion.\n\nOn what date did you go there before?—I do not remember. I went there last year.\n\nWhat did you go there for last year?—I went to see you about a case in which Pang On made a false charge against three of my elusmen.\n\nWhat did you have to say about that?—You told me you knew it was a false case and you said you would speak straightforwardly.\n\nIn what month was that?—Between the 7th October and the 4th December.\n\nHad you been to my house, or did my wife and I meet you in the street a few days previous to the 11th?—I do not remember.\n\nDo you remember going to my quarters on the 9th?—I do not remember.\n\nYou seem to be very forgetful just now.\n\nDo you remember meeting me and my wife on the afternoon of the 9th at the corner of Wellington Street and Lyndhurst Terrace?—I did not meet you and your wife.\n\nWas anything said to you in the street on that occasion about getting some samples of silk?—It was not in March; it was in the 4th moon—May, when something was said about silk.\n\nDid you come to my house on the 11th March?—I did.\n\nWhom did you see?—You and your wife were there and the children were running about. Was anyone else there?—There was no one else.\n\nWhere did you sit down?—Near the fireplace in the room next to the dining room.\n\nWhich way did you come in?—By the back, up the steps.\n\nYou are quite sure you did not see anyone else there?—I did not see anyone else.\n\nDid you bring any pieces of silk on the 11th?—I did not.\n\nI mean samples, not pieces.—No; it was in May that I took some samples.\n\nYou did not show any samples to anyone on the 11th March?—You had not mentioned about buying things then.\n\nWhen did you go again after the 11th?—On the 13th March, between 2 and 3 p.m.\n\nWho asked you into the sitting room on the 11th?—You were in the sitting room and you asked me to come in.\n\nWas anyone else there besides myself?—Your wife came in afterwards.\n\nYou are sure I was in the sitting room when you came?—Yes.\n\nI was not upstairs?—No.\n\nI was not called downstairs?—No.\n\nBe quite sure. There was no one else in the room besides myself, my wife, the children, and the cook?—The children and the cook were not in the room.\n\nBut there was no one else there?—No.\n\nDid I say anything to you on the 9th March about a friend going home to England and that I wanted to send some silk with him?—No.\n\nDid I tell you the Clerk of the Gaol—Mr. Watson—was going home to England?—No.\n\nI did not say anything to you about Mr. Watson?—I don't remember that you did.\n\nYou did not meet me in Lyndhurst Terrace on the 9th March.\n\nAnd you never got any samples of silk at the end of November or the beginning of December last year for me?—No.\n\nDid I show you a photograph on the piano of a lady to whom I was going to send the silk—the photograph you dropped on the floor?—Yes, I remember that and also dropping it on the floor.\n\nWas that at the end of November or beginning of December?—It was this year and not last.\n\nDid you ask me if the lady was my mother?—No.\n\nDid I show you a photograph of a gentleman?—No.\n\nDid I tell you that gentleman was Mr. Falconer, Magistrate at Lorne, South Wales?—No.\n\nDid I tell you it was his lady?—No.\n\nDid you remark \"It's very handsome?\"—I said it was pretty good.\n\nOn the 11th, when you went in, who met you in the passage way?—I walked along the passage and when I got to the room you said, \"Come in.\"\n\nIt was rather familiar for you to come in like that?—I went to look for you.\n\nDid you ask where I was?—There was no one in the house when I went there and so I did not ask.\n\nWhat are you talking about?—I walked up to your room and saw you there.\n\nHow long do you say you stayed there on the 11th?—Three quarters of an hour.\n\nDidn't Mrs. Witchell tell you to sit down and she would call me?—She was upstairs; she came down afterwards.\n\nShe was not in the room?—No.\n\nYou said we were all there. Did you say to Mrs. Witchell on the 11th, when she said \"she would call me,\" \"Oh, never mind, I've brought that piece of silk for you to look see?\"—No.\n\nDid Mrs. Witchell say that was not the kind of silk she wanted?—No.\n\nYou went out at the back, didn't you?—Yes.\n\n446",

        "content_text": "It was now five o'clock and Mr. Francis suggested an adjournment.\n\nDefendant said he had many more questions to ask the witness.\n\nHis Worship then conferred with Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (Colonial Secretary), who was sitting on the bench, and then said that another Magistrate would be appointed while this case was proceeding.\n\nIt was then agreed to resume the hearing at 9 o'clock this morning.\n\nMr. Francis - With regard to the defendant - His Worship - I think he is entitled to bail. Have you any remarks to make about the amount?\n\nMr. Francis - We leave it entirely in your Worship's hands.\n\nDefendant - I have a wife and family and household goods and there is not much fear that I shall run away. I have nowhere to run to.\n\nHis Worship - You will have no difficulty in finding bail?\n\nDefendant - I think I can find bail.\n\nHis Worship - Bail in one surety of $500.\n\nThe Court then adjourned until this morning.\n\nDaily Press 20th July 1897.\n\nTHE POLICE SCANDAL,\n\nINSPECTOR WITCHELL COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.\n\nAt the Magistracy yesterday, before Hon. H. E. Wodehouse, C.M.G., the hearing was resumed of the charges against Inspector Witchell. The charges are:-\n\n(1) That he, being an Inspector of Police in and for the colony of Hongkong, did, at Victoria, in the said colony, on the 7th March, 1897, and on divers dates thereafter, unlawfully and in breach of his duty as such Inspector as aforesaid, neglect to report to the Captain Superintendent of Police the existence of unlawful gambling houses in Wa Lane and Cheung Sha Wan Lane, Victoria, aforesaid.\n\n(2) That he, being an Inspector of Police in and for the colony of Hongkong, did at Victoria in the said colony, on the 11th March, 1897, and on divers days thereafter, unlawfully, wilfully, and corruptly accept divers sums of money from the keepers or managers of sundry unlawful gambling houses in Victoria aforesaid to refrain from reporting to the Captain Superintendent of Police the existence of such gambling houses and to protect the said gambling houses.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Attorney-General, being instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys (Crown Solicitor). Mr. H. W. Looker appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of a party interested.\n\nWhen the case was called on defendant said - Your Worship, I am not a solicitor and I would ask your Worship to assist me in this case. There were a lot of leading questions asked and hearsay evidence produced on Saturday which should not have been allowed.\n\nHis Worship - Draw my attention to what you think is improper evidence.\n\nDefendant - Perhaps you are better acquainted than I with that evidence.\n\nHis Worship - I am not aware of any improper evidence so far. I will watch the case to the best of my power.\n\nDefendant - Thank you, your Worship.\n\nThe defendant then proceeded with his cross-examination of the witness Cheng On.\n\nDefendant - How long were you in the Police Force?\n\nWitness - Between 15 and 16 years.\n\nIn what branch of the Force were you? - When I joined the Force I was in the Water Police. In two years I was transferred to the Central Police Station, where I was for several months on charge room duty.\n\nWhat did you do after that? - After that I was attached to the detective department.\n\nWhy did you leave the detective department? - I was told to find a witness. I could not find him and I was reported to Inspector Matheson for sending the witness to Canton.\n\nYou were reported for that? - Yes. I did not see the witness.\n\nIn what case was that witness concerned? - In a case in which a constable was accused of snatching dice.\n\nAnd snatching anything else? - Fourteen cents.\n\nWas that all? - And a dice cloth.\n\nWhy did you leave the Force?\n\nHis Worship - One moment. Who is in charge of this case now?\n\nInspector Duncan - I am, your Worship.\n\nHis Worship - Are any of those people outside the door witnesses?\n\nInspector Duncan - No, your Worship.\n\nDefendant - There might be some witnesses there.\n\nHis Worship - I am told there are not; that is sufficient.\n\nDefendant (to Witness) - Why did you leave the Force?\n\nWitness - I was transferred to Yaumati and I resigned.\n\nDid you resign on a pension? - Yes.\n\nHave you a pension now? - No.\n\nWhy? - I took the whole lot at one time.\n\nHow much? - $174 or $176.\n\nFor 15 or 16 years' service? - Yes.\n\nWas that all you were entitled to? - I do not know. The Captain Superintendent makes up the amount.\n\nYou do not know whether you were entitled to more or not? - In the first class I was entitled to more.\n\nWhy was your pension reduced? - I was in the second class.\n\nWere you entitled to more in the second class? - I do not know.\n\nWere you reported before you resigned? - While at Yaumati I was fined 50 cents at roll call.\n\nWas that the reason why you sent in your resignation? - No. After 10 years' service I could resign when I liked.\n\nWhen did you resign? - In 1892.\n\nDid you have a character at your discharge? - Yes.\n\nCan you produce it? - It is at my house.\n\nWhat does that character say? - \"Fair.\"\n\nAnd you are quite sure you were not entitled to a bigger pension after 15 or 16 years' service? - One cannot calculate the pension at all. If a man is reported he is sure to get less pension.\n\nIf you had not been reported what would you have been entitled to? - I do not know.\n\nYou are not conversant with figures? - Yes. I know how to calculate.\n\nDefendant here intimated that this concluded his cross-examination and witness's evidence was then read over.\n\nHis Worship also read over part of the witness's evidence and asked him to verify the dates, which he did.\n\nIn reference to the statement that the witness's wife told him the Inspector had sent for him, defendant submitted that such a statement was not admissible.\n\nMr. Francis - The answer was given in answer to defendant's questions. He must take the consequence of that.\n\nThe witness was then re-examined.\n\nMr. Francis - Mr. Witchell has asked you about some silk samples?\n\nWitness - Yes.\n\nFrom what shop did you get those samples? - Chu Lun, Jorvois Street.\n\nDid you buy silk for Mrs. Witchell or did you only get samples? - She asked me to bring some samples and I brought some.\n\nAnswer the question. - I did not buy any silk for Mrs. Witchell, but I brought some samples for her.\n\nCan you fix on the day when she first spoke to you about any silk? - It was four or five days before Dr. Ayres went away - before he gave a tea party.\n\nHave you got samples for Mrs. Witchell on more than one occasion? - On two occasions.\n\nYou have told us the one occasion; when was the other? - On the following day or the day after.\n\nDid you get the two sets of samples from the same shop? - Yes.\n\nThis concluded the witness's evidence, and he was, on the application of the defendant, detained in court.\n\nSam Yeen, who said he had no other name, was then called. In answer to Mr. Francis he said - I am now a prisoner in Victoria Gaol. I was convicted the other day of keeping a gambling house in Wa Lane. The sentence was nine months' imprisonment and a fine of ...",

        "content_text": "$1,000. Before I was arrested I resided at 3, East Street. I was in charge of the accounts at the gambling house. I know Cheng On, whom I now recognise,\n\nMr. Francis—Have you ever paid him any money?\n\nWitness—He came to me and spoke to me about giving $1.10 to \"No. 12\" and I asked him to whom I should hand the money and he said, \"To Tung Kum.\"\n\nDo you remember when it was he asked you for money for \"No. 12\"?—About the second or third moon this year.\n\nCan you get nearer to it than that?—In the second moon.\n\nCan you tell us in about what decade of the second moon it was?—On or about the 10th of the second moon.\n\nDid you make any payment in consequence of what Cheng On said to you?—I did. I gave the money after Cheng On spoke to me.\n\nHow much?—$1.10 a day.\n\nFor how many days was that money paid?—From the second moon to the 11th June.\n\nHow often was the money paid?—Tung Kum came for the money every day.\n\nDid you pay him every day?—Yes.\n\nDid you make any payments to Cheng On or were all the payments made to Tung Kum?—They were all made to Tung Kum.\n\nTell us exactly what Cheng On said to you when he came and asked for this money.—Cheng On said, \"There is no gambling in No. 12's place. He wants $1 a day; I want 10 cents as wages.\" That is all.\n\nDidn't he say anything else?—Well, I promised to pay him. He told me to hand the money to Tung Kum.\n\nWhen Cheng On went to speak to you about this money was anyone with him?—He came alone to No. 3, East Street.\n\nDid you pay this money to Tung Kum yourself or was the money handed by your order?—I handed the money personally to Tung Kum.\n\nDefendant—Are you quite sure there was no-one else with Cheng On when he came about the payments?—It seemed to me he was alone. I was alone, but there were people outside.\n\nHis Worship—At the interview you and Cheng On were alone?—We were alone.\n\nDefendant asked permission to recall Cheng On.\n\nHis Worship—Very well.\n\nCheng On was then recalled. Defendant—On what date were you arrested? Witness—On the 12th July.\n\nWhat time?—Between 3 and 4.\n\nWho arrested you?—Inspector Mackie. You said on the last occasion that you did not know why you were arrested?—Yes, I said that I do not know why I was arrested.\n\nWhen you were arrested were you shown warrant?—No, he did not show me a warrant. A warrant was not necessary.\n\nAnd you have not seen a warrant since?—No. And you do not know whether there is a warrant for your detention in gaol?—I do not know.\n\nYou have been in the Police many years and you know whether it is legal to detain you in prison without a warrant?—Well, I know it is illegal to detain a man without a warrant, but you told me that Mr. May and Mr. Mackie can arrest a person without a warrant. You told me during the interview I had with you upstairs.\n\nI asked you whether you know it is legal to detain a man in gaol without a warrant.\n\nMr. Francis—I object. It is simply a silly waste of time to ask the witness a legal question.\n\nHis Worship—I have already recorded that he knows a warrant is necessary.\n\nDefendant (to witness)—You have been in gaol.\n\nMr. Francis—This is wholly irrelevant.\n\nHis Worship—I see there is a certain amount of relevancy in it.\n\nMr. Francis—If your Worship thinks so.\n\nDefendant (to witness)—And you remained in gaol without a warrant being issued?\n\nWitness—Well, how can I go away? I do not wish to remain there. I was not allowed to go.\n\nIf there is no warrant no one dares to detain you. I do not know.\n\nHis Worship—He is not remaining in gaol of his own free will.\n\nDefendant—Are you allowed to go in and out of the gaol when you like?—No, I am confined in a room.\n\nDid the Captain Superintendent of Police ever tell you there was a warrant?—No.\n\nAt this point the case was adjourned until 2.15.\n\nAfter luncheon Ho Wai Tsim was called, but as he did not appear, after the Court had waited ten minutes, Tung Kum was called. He said—I keep a mercer's shop at 181, Hollywood Road. I know Cheng On and Sam Yeen.\n\nMr. Francis—Have you ever done anything for Sam Yeen or Cheng On?\n\nWitness—Cheng On told me he had obtained $1.10 a day for \"No. 12,\" and that I was to go to Sam Yeen, who would give the money to me.\n\nDid you go to Sam Yeen and get money from him?—Yes.\n\nHow often did you get money from Sam Yeen?—Once every day.\n\nHow much money did you get every day from Sam Yeen?—$31.55.\n\nEach day?—Yes.\n\nHow much of that did you pay to Cheng On?—Cheng On came for the money every five days.\n\nHow much did you pay him each five days?—$5.50.\n\nDid you pay Cheng On anything else but the $5.50?—Yes.\n\nWhat was it?—He had a few 10 cent pieces for himself.\n\nWhat is the total amount you paid him each five days?—$5.50, $3.50, which was for himself, and $8. I do not know who had the $8.\n\nSo that is $17 every five days?—Yes.\n\nWere you getting any pay yourself from Sam Yeen?—Yes, he gave me a few ten cent pieces as wages.\n\nOf the $17 you paid every five days to Cheng On how much was for \"No. 12\"?—Cheng On said $1.10 was for \"No. 12.\"\n\nDid you get any other money from Cheng On for anyone else?—No.\n\nDo you know Sam Yeen to speak to?—Yes. Do you know where he lived?—Yes. Where?—No. 3, East Street.\n\nHow long have you known him?—Since last year. He was in a druggist's shop before.\n\nYou have been in the Hongkong Police and resigned six years ago after twelve years' service?—Yes.\n\nWas there anything against you?—I resigned of my own accord.\n\nWas there anything against you?—I resigned because my mother was old and there was no one to look after her.\n\nWere there any complaints against you?—No.\n\nYou got $31.50 from Sam Yeen?—Yes.\n\nYou got so much money from Sam Yeen: did you distribute it to the people as they came for it?—Yes.\n\nAnd Cheng On used to come every five days and get $17 from you?—Yes.\n\nDefendant (cross-examining)—You paid every five days $5.50 to Cheng On for \"No. 12\"?\n\nWitness—$5.50.\n\nYou paid him in full every five days?—Yes.\n\nHow much did you get out of that for wages?—I deducted no wages from that.\n\nIn what money did you pay him?—In subsidiary coins.\n\nAll?—Yes.\n\nAnd how much did he receive for himself in addition to that $5.50?—$3.50 and $8.\n\nFor himself $3.50 was for himself. What was the $3.50 for?—It was for him. What for?—I do not know; he told me to go to Sam Yeen.\n\nDidn't he tell you what it was for?—He did not.\n\nYou are quite sure?—Yes.\n\nHas Cheng On any interest in that gambling affair?—I do not know.\n\nYou say you served twelve years in the Police?—Yes.\n\nDid you resign on your own account?—Yes.\n\nHave you got your discharge paper?—I did not ask for a discharge.\n\nAfter twelve years' faithful service you did not get a discharge?—No; I intended to go to the country and carry on business there.\n\nHave you a pension?—I have.\n\nWhat kind of a pension have you got?—A commuted pension.\n\nAnd what was the amount that you received as a commuted pension?—I do not remember; it was $180 odd.\n\n449\n\nPage 450\n\nPage 451",

Was that the full amount that you were entitled to P-Yes, and three months' \"cam-shaw.\"\n\nThere was no deduction for misconduct P-No.\n\nDid you at any time go to Sam Yeen in company with Cheng On P-No.\n\nThis concluded the cross-examination and defendant asked his Worship to order all the witnesses to be detained in Court that they could not communicate with any other witness.\n\nHis Worship acceded to the application.\n\nHo Wai Tsim was then called. He said-I keep a mercer's shop at 118, Jervois Street. It is a shop where Chinese silk is sold. I am the manager. I know Cheng On, whom I recognise, in court.\n\nMr. Francis--Has that man at any time got any samples of silk from you? F-Witness--Yes.\n\nDid he get them from you personally or someone else in your employment?-He got them from me personally.\n\nWhen?-During the first decade of the 4th moon: between the 2nd and 11th May.\n\nDid he get samples of silk on more than one occasion?-Only once.\n\nHow many samples did he get at that time?---Three or four.\n\nDid he change those samples or get others at any time?-He came and asked me to change them and I said we had not any more. He did not return the samples.\n\nHow soon after he got the first samples did he come and ask for others?-One or two days afterwards. He asked for samples of blue silk.\n\nDid he buy any silk or silk clothing from you at any time?-He bought two pieces of silk cloth.\n\nWas that before or after he got the samples?--Before.\n\nHow long before?-Between ten and twenty days.\n\nDid he buy any silk of which you gave him samples?-No.\n\nDid you make any clothes for him?-Yes, two pieces of clothing.\n\nWhat were they?-One blue silk jacket and one tight silk jacket.\n\nAbout what time did you make that blue silk jacket?-On the 20th May.\n\nWhere did he get the silk from which you made that blue silk jacket?-From my shop.

Of course if Mr. Witchell desires to call witnesses here your Worship will be bound to hear them and take their evidence. This is one of those cases your Worship cannot deal with unless you entirely discharge it if you decide there is no case to go to the jury.\n\nHis Worship-There are one or two questions which I wish to ask of witnesses before committing. With regard to the list of names, in what light do you wish me to regard that as evidence? It has merely been mentioned as having been found.\n\nMr. Francis-Your Worship will please bear in mind that I did not put it in evidence. It was called for and put in evidence by the defendant himself; he called for it and asked for its production. Your Worship will remember that I simply brought out the fact of the existence of such a book, but I did not tender it as evidence nor make use of it as evidence.\n\nDefendant-In the other case the Hon. the Captain Superintendent of Police inferred from what he had seen in other account books-\n\nHis Worship--One moment.\n\nAfter looking at the depositions His Worship said-The book having been put in and the defendant wishing to examine further on it.\n\nMr. Francis-I do not think, according to the ordinary rules with reference to the discovery of new evidence, he has a right to examine anything other than that which refers to him either directly or indirectly. It is a constant practice in the Supreme Court when books of a confidential character are produced, for instance, merchant's books, that only entries referring to the particular transactions are exposed, the witness of course swearing that there is nothing else in the book or in the accounts which in any way refers to the case before the Court or which affects the prisoner. The defendant is entitled to see the entries affecting him if he likes.\n\nThe defendant asked, \"Is there anything in that book referring to me?\" and the Captain Superintendent of Police was bound to say there was. The defendant is certainly entitled to see anything in that book referring to himself.\n\nDefendant--I think the book was brought out by counsel. He said that $1.10 and $1 had been paid to \"No. 12.\"\n\nMr. Francis-It was wholly in answer to your question.\n\nDefendant-I think not, sir.\n\nMr. Francis-If your Worship will look at the evidence you will see that I simply got out the fact that a complete set of accounts was found. The moment Mr. Witchell asked questions about it and insisted upon knowing what entries were in it it became evidence for all purposes.\n\nHis Worship asked if the defendant was not entitled to examine the book, it having been put in.\n\nMr. Francis said no.\n\nHis Worship asked for an authority.\n\nMr. Francis replied that he had no law on the subject with him, but it was the constant practice in the Supreme Court to disclose only such entries as related to the particular case. Counsel also pointed out that he did not think his Worship need trouble himself about the matter as it must be dealt with at the Supreme Court. Of course the book was in the custody of Mr. May and it had been marked by his Worship. The question of how far it was evidence would be disposed of at the Supreme Court.\n\nHis Worship (to defendant)-Do you reserve your claim to cross-examine on that book, supposing the case be committed?\n\nDefendant-If your Worship commits the case I will reserve my claim.\n\nHis Worship-On that understanding I will say no more about it.\n\nHon. F. H. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, was then recalled.\n\nHis Worship-When did you become Captain Superintendent of Police?\n\nHon. F. H. May-On the 11th May, 1893.\n\nWere the police regulations, from which you quoted rule 73, made before your time?-Yes, in 1892.\n\nThat rule you say refers to constables and not to inspectors; is that so?-Yes.\n\nIn those rules and regulations are there any rules referring to Inspectors regarding gambling?-To the best of my knowledge there are not.\n\nWhat rules have the Inspectors for their guidance? You read out an order the other day; is there any other order for their guidance besides that?-There are other orders.\n\nThose orders would be issued by the Superintendent, would they not?-Yes.\n\nDepartmentally?-Yes.\n\nHave the rules and regulations been issued by the authority of the Government?-Yes, but there are some orders which the Captain Superintendent has power to issue himself.\n\nAre there any orders for the guidance of the police to which you would like to call my attention?-Yes. I should like to show you the order to which Inspector Witchell referred.\n\nIs the order you read on Saturday respecting gambling the only order you have issued on that subject?-I think so. I do not remember any other order.\n\nHas this particular order received the sanction of the Government?-No, it was not necessary.\n\nPage 450",

        "content_text": "E\n\nappeared from the colony; a certain number of Chinese detectives who remained in the colony had been banished; and a certain number of Inspectors had been suspended from duty. It became evidence, and it would be shown in evidence, that the method adopted for the corruption of the police was one which rendered proof of any particular evidence extremely difficult. Those who received bribes never apparently brought themselves into contact with the persons who paid those bribes and in nearly every case the money passed through the hands of two persons, always Chinese, intermediate between the person who was paying and the person who was receiving. The Government had been fortunate in this case to obtain the evidence of intermediaries through whose hands the money passed.\n\nThe case as far as Witchell was concerned was this. He became aware in the course of his general duties as an Inspector attached to the Central Station of the existence of the gambling house in Wa Lane. There were not at that time any gambling houses of importance in his own district. He sent for a man called Cheng On, a man who some six years ago had been a detective in the police force and who was at that time and was until recently the principal excise officer under the Opium Farmer. Witchell told him that when patrolling about the colony he became aware of the existence of this particular gambling house in Wa Lane. He complained that while others were getting money out of gambling houses he was getting nothing. He explained to the man that he had a large family, that his expenses were considerable, that he would be glad to have something, and that although this particular house in Wa Lane was not in his district he knew of its existence and Mr. May would be very glad to have a report to that effect from him. Cheng On would give the whole of this conversation.\n\nAs the result of this conversation Cheng On went to the headquarters of the partnership in East Street and told the man in charge what Witchell had stated to him. Sam Yeen, who was the man seen by Cheng On, offered to pay Witchell $1 a day. Cheng On told this to Witchell, who said he was perfectly willing to accept the amount. This fact was communicated to Sam Yeen and from then to the time the gambling house was shut up on the 19th July payment at that rate was made in respect of that house. The money was not paid direct to Cheng On; it was paid day by day to a man called Tung Kum, who kept a clothier's shop close to the entrance of Wa Lane and close also to East Street. Tung Kam not only received the money for the defendant but he also received other very considerable sums of money. The money was paid by the gambling house keeper day by day in subsidiary coins to Tung Kum. Tung Kum paid every five days to Cheng On and every seven days Cheng On paid the money to the defendant.\n\nIf the jury thought the evidence was satisfactory they would have clear evidence that the defendant was aware of the existence of at least one gambling house in Wa Lane, that at his request an application was made to the keeper for hush-money, that the keeper of the gambling house or the person responsible for the management of affairs consented to make a payment at the rate of $1 or $1.10 a day—10 cents going to the intermediary—that the money was paid to Tung Kum and that Tung Kum paid that particular amount to Cheng On every five days, and that Cheng On made payments which he fixed at $12.60 every week to Inspector Witchell.\n\nThe witnesses were the Captain Superintendent of Police, Cheng On, Tung Kam, and Sam Yeen. Sam Yeen was the person arrested and convicted as being the keeper of the gaming house at No. 2, Wa Lane and he was now serving a term of nine months' imprisonment for the offence to which, during the case, he pleaded guilty. The jury would understand that these Chinese witnesses were not put forward as being absolutely pure in their actions. Sam Yeen had been promised that if he made a clean breast of it the Government would take his case into consideration and they held out a hope to him. Cheng On was arrested under a banishment warrant and he was subject to a banishment order at this moment, but hope had also been held out to him if he made a clean breast of the affair, and Tung Kum, who was also arrested, had been promised hope if he would make a clean breast of the matter.\n\nThe circumstances under which the witnesses were giving their evidence would undoubtedly be pressed upon the jury in the strongest possible manner by the counsel for the defence, and it might be urged that Chinese evidence was at all times most unreliable and that the evidence of men of this particular class, who were themselves involved in this business, must be received with even greater suspicion than the ordinary Chinese evidence. Possibly it might be urged that no European should be convicted on Chinese evidence or evidence of this kind. But the jury had to remember that while it was their duty to give the defendant the benefit of every doubt that might reasonably arise on the evidence or with reference to the witnesses themselves, they also had a duty to the public and to themselves. It was the jury's duty to do their part in assisting in the administration and enforcement of the law.\n\nCounsel asked them to bear in mind that in such a case as this or in any case of this class it would be utterly impossible for the Government under any circumstances to obtain a conviction against any police officer or any member of the Government service for accepting a bribe or acting corruptly in office if the evidence of Chinese and the evidence of persons acting as intermediaries in the prosecution was to be rejected. Chinese evidence of course always came before a jury with a certain amount of suspicion attached to it, and Chinese evidence of this particular class was more suspicious than ordinarily. Counsel was sure that the jury would examine the evidence more carefully, listen to it more attentively, weigh it more accurately, and decide its intrinsic worth.\n\nThe jury had a serious and responsible duty to perform and they would no doubt carefully watch the witnesses and listen to their evidence and decide whether the evidence was of itself clear, satisfactory, and consistent. Counsel added that the witnesses had been in custody from a very early date. They had been kept strictly apart and they had had no communication whatever with each other. Their statements had been taken down by the Captain Superintendent of Police, Mr. Dennys, and counsel himself, Mr. Brown acting interpreter.\n\nPage 28\n\nHon. F. H. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, was then called and examined by the Attorney-General. He gave evidence of the system in rogue for the suppression of gambling and detailed the work of the Inspectors. He also spoke of a letter he received some time ago. The writer offered to take him to a house in Jervois Street from which he would be able to see gambling going on in Kwai Wa Lane in the daytime. Witness communicated the contents of this letter to Inspector Witchell.\n\nDefendant—It is gross perjury, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship told defendant not to interrupt. If he wished to communicate with his counsel he could do so.\n\nDefendant—Excuse me for using such an expression, my Lord.\n\nWitness then spoke to raiding the house in East Street and finding money, jewellery, and books of account.\n\nMr. Robinson demanded the production of the books.\n\nThe Attorney-General said Mr. Robinson could see the books if he wished.\n\nMr. Robinson applied for leave to inspect the books and his Lordship granted the application providing that no officer of the court was present during the inspection.\n\nWitness then produced the following list of the contents of the various books—\n\n1—A list containing 35 names on one side with sums of money under them, totalling from $101.25 to $104.35; on the other 45 names with sums of money under them (those of men who received money every five days), totalling $44.13 to $45.50. Grand total, about $145.00.\n\n2.—Contains memoranda of receipts and expenditure at various dates between 24th of 10th moon and 26th of 1st moon. (No year).\n\n3.—Names of persons with sums of money under them (two dates, no month), the 1st, 7 names, $48.10; the 2nd, 9 names, $58.40.\n\n4—A list of 18 articles pawned (and some redeemed) between 24th of 7th moon and 4th of 8th moon. (No year). Total value, $134.00.\n\n5. Similar in substance and arrangement to\n\nPage 467",

(6) Four pieces of paper, on two of which are memoranda of accounts.\n\nIn answer to further questions by the Attorney-General, witness said that to him the books did not show the nature of the establishment, but he did not know whether the Chinese could tell. The establishment appeared to have made money last year and lost money this year, as at the time of closing they had a large debit balance. He could not tell whether the books related to Wa Lane or East Street. Witness then spoke to the entries relating to money paid to \"No. 12.\" In regard to Sam Yeon's statements, he had been able to test the accuracy of them in many cases. Tung Kum appeared to have been general agent and distributor of money. The first part of the book produced contained the names of police officers and the latter part contained the names of persons in other departments and also of miscellaneous persons. Tung Kum and Cheng On were not at first willing to make their statements to witness; before they did make them, they were allowed to see their legal advisers. Messrs. Descon and Hastings were the advisers for Cheng On, and Mr. Reece was legal adviser for Tung Kum. Tung Kum and Cheng On were arrested on the 12th inst., and they were placed in separate cells.\n\nHis Lordship: On what ground were they arrested?\n\nWitness: On banishment warrants issued under section 19 of the Gambling Ordinance.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Robinson: The defendant had been in the Force fifteen years. He came from Bristol. His character was good. Witness was then questioned about the police rules in regard to gambling houses.\n\nMr. Robinson: Have you heard that watchmen not only watch premises but shadow the Inspectors and watch them to bed?\n\nWitness: I have heard that they watch the Inspectors. I should be more correct if I said that I have heard they watch some of the Inspectors.\n\nCheng On said that he did not see a warrant. Is that true? I showed Cheng On a warrant and his legal adviser inspected it.\n\nWhat he said is absolutely false, then? I do not think it is false.\n\nWas the warrant also shown to Tung Kum? Yes.\n\nWere any terms of pardon held out to Cheng On? I have not told him anything.\n\nPerhaps you told his solicitor? I do not know anything about what his solicitor told him.\n\nHave you held out any inducement to Cheng On or to his solicitor? No, not before he made his statement.\n\nWhat was the last time you saw Cheng On for the purpose of examining him? Yesterday, I think.\n\nHe was under a long examination yesterday? Not a long examination.\n\nBy the Crown Solicitor or by yourself or by whom? By Mr. Francis.\n\nOn what date was any inducement held out to Cheng On that it would be better for him to turn Queen's evidence? There was no inducement held out to him.\n\nWhat do you understand by inducement? He was not promised anything and he was not threatened in any way.\n\nWas he given to understand anything? Not by me.\n\nBy whom? I do not know. By Mr. Francis? No.\n\nBy anyone? I do not know.\n\nWas anyone in connection with Cheng On told that it would be better if Cheng On made a clean breast of it? No.\n\n463\n\nMay I take it from you on oath that nothing has taken place to give Cheng On any hope that if he turned Queen's evidence it would be better for him? No, I will not say that. When Cheng On was arrested, he was told that if he told the truth about what he knew of this matter, the Government would take his case into consideration.\n\nYou do not think that amounts to anything like an inducement to turn Queen's evidence? No, I do not think so.\n\nHe being under punishment at the time? I do not think it is a direct inducement.\n\nMr. Robinson: I did not say a direct inducement; I said inducement.\n\nHis Lordship: Of course, we can judge ourselves of the inducement.\n\nMr. Robinson: I want the judgment of the witness. I think he is very much inclined to chop logic. He is sworn to tell the truth and the whole truth.\n\nHis Lordship: If there is more behind, get it out of him, but if it rests here, we can judge ourselves.\n\nMr. Robinson (to witness): With regard to Tung Kum, when he was arrested, did anything of the sort take place?\n\nWitness: Yes, the same thing. He was told that if he told the truth, the Government would take his case into consideration.\n\nWas he told who was to be the judge of the truth? He was not told.\n\nDo you remember three detectives, whom Mr. Reece represented, being arrested under banishment warrants with respect to this case? Yes.\n\n......",

        "content_text": "Were they told that if they would tell the truth they would not be punished?—Yes, they were.\n\nAnd they said they knew nothing against the men who have been suspended and nothing against Witchell?—No, they did not.\n\nWhat did they say?—If you will ask me separately in regard to each man I will tell you about them, but I cannot lump them all together.\n\nDid any of them give any information to incriminate?—No.\n\nTo incriminate Witchell?—No. Through whom was the communication that they would be not punished made?—Through Mr. Ewens's interpreter.\n\nOh, you spoke to Mr. Ewens's clerk and told him to tell them?—Yes.\n\nThese men were banished?—Yes.\n\nWith regard to Sam Yeen—he is in a different position, he is a convicted man—what hope was held out to him?—He was told that if he would make a full disclosure his case would be taken into consideration by the Government if he desired any mitigation of his sentence.\n\nHe was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment?—Yes.\n\nIn answer to further questions witness said that he denied he was exceeding his powers in committing the men arrested under banishment warrants to Victoria Gaol. One of the men was an opium smoker. He was not told that if he would make his statement first he could get his opium. He got opium the second day after his admission to gaol.\n\nAt this point the Court adjourned until ten o'clock this morning, when Mr. Robinson will proceed to cross-examine the witness in regard to the books found in the house in East Street.\n\nThe defendant was allowed bail as before.\n\nSUPREME COURT,\n\n30th July.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nBEFORE SIR JOHN CARRINGTON (CHIEF JUSTICE).\n\nTHE CHARGE AGAINST INSPECTOR WITCHELL.\n\nThe trial was resumed of Job Witchell, Inspector of Police, who is charged with accepting bribes from the keepers and managers of gambling houses between the 13th March, 1897, and the 19th June.\n\nBefore the case proceeded Mr. Robinson said that the gentleman who was giving the bond wished to go away and counsel asked the leave of the court to extend the bond until the conclusion of the Sessions.\n\nThe Attorney-General offered no objection, but he remarked that the application implied that his learned friend was going to occupy the court a great number of days.\n\nHon. F. H. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, was then called for further examination. On entering the witness box he said—My Lord, I notice in the newspaper report this morning of my evidence the following question—\n\nHis Lordship—Are we concerned with that?\n\nWitness—I wish to make a slight correction.\n\nHis Lordship—Is it something you stated yourself that is not quite accurate or is the newspaper report inaccurate?\n\nWitness—I think there was something in the mind of the learned counsel who put the question to me that I did not take exactly as being in his mind. The question was, \"Was anyone in connection with Cheng On told that it would be better if Cheng On made a clean breast of it?\" I took that to mean somebody connected with Cheng On—some of his family relations or Chinese friends—and I said \"No.\" It occurs to me that possibly the learned counsel may have referred to Cheng On's solicitor, in which case the answer would be incorrect, for I did say to Cheng On's solicitor that the best way to help his client would be by telling his client to make a clean breast of it. The same in regard to Tung Kam. I did not make any promise or make any definite reference. I simply said to their representative, in the words of the learned counsel, that it would be better to tell the truth.\n\nMr. Robinson (cross-examining)—Who is No. 12?\n\nWitness—No. 12 is Inspector Witchell.\n\nI repeat the question; who is No. 12?—No. 12 is Inspector Witchell.\n\nHis Lordship—The witness has already stated that the Chinese called him that. You cannot go beyond that. He said, \"I know the Chinese call him No. 12.\" The jury's time is very valuable and you must really try to get the trial over in a reasonable time.\n\nMr. Robinson—I think your Lordship will see that it is Mr. May who is taking up the time. (To witness.) Who is No. 12?\n\nHis Lordship (To witness)—In your judgment who is No. 12?\n\nMr. Robinson—Not in his judgment.\n\nHis Lordship—As far as you know who is No. 12?\n\nMr. Robinson—I have not asked him in connection with this case. I say, who is No. 12?\n\nHis Lordship—We are not dealing with any other case but this case.\n\nMr. Robinson—If your Lordship pleases. Who is No. 12?\n\nWitness—Inspector Witchell.\n\nInspector Witchell was No. 12. Who is No. 127?\n\nHis Lordship—Why can't you put the question in a different way?\n\nWitness—Because I want to see how the witness speaks. Your Lordship is not so au fait with the numbers of constables as Mr. May. (To witness.) Who is No. 12?\n\nWitness—If you refer to P. C. No. 12, there may be a constable with that number, but I cannot give his name. He would be referred to as P. C. No. 12, or if he is a sergeant, P. S. No. 12.\n\nMr. Robinson—I asked you who is No. 12 and now you are volunteering the statement that gamblers would call him No. 12.\n\nMr. Francis—He has not said anything about gamblers.\n\nHis Lordship—He has already stated that so far as this case is concerned the defendant was called No. 12 by the Chinese.\n\nMr. Robinson—There is more than one No. 12. The Inspector's number was 12 and if you see No. 12 in the book it must be the defendant?\n\nWitness—Yes.\n\nIs there not another No. 12 at the present moment in the colony?—Yes.\n\nA man of the name of Sullivan?—I think it is Sullivan.\n\nAttached to the Central District?—Yes.\n\nHow long has he been here?—He has been here about eighteen months.\n\nThat is during the whole period of this gambling house?—Yes.\n\nAs a matter of fact as an Inspector is raised he ceases to carry a number and the number is given to a new man?—Yes.\n\nSome of the numbers have been borne time after time by different men?—Yes.\n\nIn regard to these books, when you found them in No. 3, East Street, was that the first time you had been in East Street?—Yes.\n\nWhen you got there you found six men, I think?—There were more than six men.\n\nDid you receive a communication about East Street?—Yes.\n\nFrom a barrister in the colony?—Yes. A communication from Mr. Francis, Q.C.?—Yes.\n\nDid he tell you who his informer was?—No.\n\nDid he say that some man had been to him?—He did not say where he got his information. Mr. Francis only told you he was informed?—Yes.\n\nYou had never been into No. 3, East Street; have you ever been into East Street?—Yes.\n\nYou had never been in this house?—I may have been at the time of the plague.\n\nYou did very good service then, we all know; but apart from that you have no acquaintance with East Street?—No.\n\nIn this case the warrant was signed by yourself in your character of Justice of the Peace?—Yes.\n\nDid you issue the warrant to Inspector Mackie?—It was not issued to anybody in particular.\n\nTo all or any constables, and you handed it to Inspector Mackie?—Yes.\n\nAnd you went with him?—Yes.\n\nIn answer to further questions witness said...\n\n469",

        "content_text": "His Lordship-We cannot try that issue. It might be Dr. Lo K or it might be another Ho Kai.\n\nMr. Robinson then resumed his seat.\n\nHis Lordship (to Witness)--Does it say what Ho Kai it is? No, my Lord, it does not.\n\nThe Attorney-General--From information you have received you know it is not Dr. Ho Kai-I know it was not Dr. Ho Kai.\n\nHis Lordship-Do not let us go into the matter any more.\n\nIn answer to further questions by the Attorney-General as to the entries \"43\" and \"Now 43,\" witness said that there was no officer at present in the Force who used to wear the number 43 and there was now another officer who carried the number 43.\n\nHis Lordship-What were the relations between you and the defendant? Were they of a friendly character or otherwise?\n\nWitness-Very friendly.\n\nSince he has been an Inspector in the Force?-Yes.\n\nAnd I think you said he has been an efficient and zealous officer?-I should say he is one of the most zealous officers in the Force.\n\nI remember there was an important fire case in which he distinguished himself by his intelligence and zeal.--I was not here at the time, my Lord. When I left I gave instructions that he should be made an Inspector., [In answering this question Mr. May appeared to be almost overcome with emotion. He stopped in the middle of the sentence and apparently had great difficulty in continuing.]\n\nYou have not had any difficulty or trouble with him-any quarrel or breach?-Not in the least, my Lord.\n\nMr. Robinson asked permission to put another question. In reply witness said that Sam Yeen escaped custody in the house in East Street. He went for a key and did not return. Witness waited half an hour and then broke open a box in the room and found the books.\n\nMr. Robinson-And you called upon Inspector Stanton to find him?\n\nWitness-Yes.\n\nAnd he was found the same night?-Yes. We turned out all the detective staff to find him.\n\nYou gave your orders to Inspector Stanton and the man was found?-No.\n\nYou said yes. Is it untrue that you told Mr. Stanton?-I sent the police in different directions. As a matter of fact I told Inspector Stanton to remain in the station.\n\nTo give orders and instructions. 43 is supposed to refer to Inspector Stanton?-Yes,\n\nCheng On was then called. He spoke to having interviews with the defendant and to paying him $12.60 every Monday. Witness received altogether $2.20 a day from Tung Kum, but he paid only $1.80, the difference of 40 cents going in his own pocket.\n\nAt the conclusion of this witness's examination in chief Hon. F. H. May was recalled at the request of Mr. Robinson. Mr. May said-Inspector Mann was on leave from 20th June, 1895, to 12th June, 1896, when he resumed duty. He then took charge of the Eastern district, Wanchai, and he has remained in charge at Wanchai until the present. Acting Inspector Hall took charge of Shaukiwan on the 11th December, 1895, and he has been in charge there until the present time.\n\nIn reply to the Attorney-General Mr. May said--From the 13th March, 1895, till the time he went on leave Inspector Mann was stationed in the Central District and was in charge of No. 2 gambling section. Wa Lane is in No. 2 section. From the 16th April, 1894, to 20th June, 1894, he was also in charge of No. 2 section. Acting Inspector Hall, from the 12th March, 1895, to the 11th December, 1895, was at the Central Station and in charge of No. 3 gambling section.\n\nHis Lordship-It is understood we are not trying these men.\n\nThe Attorney-General-My friend asked for the particulars.\n\nMr. Robinson-Not for the particulars the Attorney-General has given.\n\nHis Lordship-I am very much against bringing in these outside cases with which we are not dealing.\n\nCheng On was then called for cross-examination. He denied making the following statement at the Magistracy: \"Tung Kam took me to Sam Yeen and Tung Kum told him in my presence about the conversation with the defendant.\" He believed the Magistrate made a mistake. The depositions were read over to him and he signed them. What he said to-day was that Tung Kam took him nearly as far as No. 3, East Street, and that he (witness) had the conversation alone with Sam Yeen.\n\nMr. Robinson-Perhaps you have been told since or have heard that Sam Yeen said-\n\nMr. Francis asked his friend to ask questions and not to make statements.\n\nMr. Robinson-I was not making a statement. (To Mr. Francis). I might say \"You are a clever man\" and that might be a question. (Laughter.)\n\nHis Lordship (who joined in the laughter)-Now, Mr. Robinson,\n\nThe cross-examination was then proceeded with. Witness said it was not a fact that defendant and his wife took him at the corner of Lyndhurst Terrace and spoke to him about some silk. It was not true that he took some samples of silk to the defendant's house on the 11th March, the date of the conversation he said he had with defendant about gambling houses. Witness received $12.60 from Lung Kum and paid that amount to defendant or his wife every Monday. He got the money in subsidiary coins and changed $10 of it into bank notes, but he did not lose in changing the money as he went to a shopkeeper, who was a friend. When witness was arrested he was not shown a warrant and he did not know anything about a banishment warrant. He knew now he was in custody under a banishment warrant. The Captain Superintendent of Police told him something about a banishment warrant, but it was not shown.\n\nRe-examined by Mr. Francis-After witness was arrested he saw Mr. Hastings, solicitor.\n\nBy his Lordship-Witness knew nothing about the books and papers found at 3, East Street.\n\nThe Court adjourned until nine o'clock this morning. His Lordship intimated that he had promised to distribute the prizes at Belilios Public School this afternoon at four o'clock, and he would not like to break that engagement.\n\nPage 471\n\nSUPREME COURT.\n\n31st July.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nBEFORE SIR JOHN CARRINGTON (CHIEF JUSTICE).\n\nTHE CHARGE AGAINST INSPECTOR WITCHELL,\n\nThe hearing was resumed of the charge of accepting bribes brought against Job Witchell, an Inspector in the Police Force.\n\nHon. W. M. Goodman (Attorney-General) and Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C. (instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys, Crown Solicitor), appeared for the Crown and the defendant was represented by Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. G. C. C. Master).\n\nTung Kum, master of a mercer's shop at 181, Hollywood Road, was called and examined by Mr. Francis. Witness said that every five days he received $5.50 from Cheung Hing Street and $17 from Wa Lane. The $5.50 was paid to him by \"Fat Child Chi,\" who told witness to hand the money to Cheng On. Sam Yeen paid the $17. The money was paid in subsidiary coins. Of the $17, $3.50 went to Cheng On himself, $8 was for Yang Fat, who was formerly a detective, and $5.50 was for No. 32. Witness was paid the $5.50 by \"Fat Child Chi\" and was told to hand the money to Cheng On for Inspector No. 12. The payments commenced on the 14th March, 1897, from Wa Lane and on the 18th March, 1897, from Cheung Hing Street. Witness received altogether $51.75 from Sam Yeen every day; that amount included the $17. The money was distributed according to a list given to him by Sam Yeen. Witness was formerly in the Police Force. He retired on a pension about six years ago. He was now in custody under a banishment warrant.",

        "content_text": "ment warrant.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Robinson- After he left the police he went to the country and returned in April, 1894. He could find no occupation and so he went back to the country, but returned to Hongkong in December, 1895. He started his present business in December, 1896. During the interval between December, 1895, and December, 1896, he was engaged in assisting Sam Yeen in distributing \"expenses,\" that is, he was engaged in gambling operations. He was not convicted in March, 1895, for larceny and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment. He was convicted for committing perjury, and was fined $100. He had only been convicted once.\n\nThe Attorney-General and Mr. Francis said the conviction was for assault. Mr. Robinson had not correctly read the conviction.\n\nMr. Robinson said he was quite right. He then asked the witness about the matter and he admitted that he and another man were charged with stealing two shirts and were sent to gaol for six weeks. In addition witness was charged with assault.\n\nMr. Robinson then complained that his learned friend, a Queen's Counsel of this colony, had accused him of misrepresenting matters to the Court.\n\nMr. Francis replied that in the hasty glance he obtained of the conviction paper he certainly did make a mistake.\n\nHis Lordship thought that with this explanation Mr. Robinson's honour was satisfied.\n\nMr. Robinson bowed to his Lordship's decision and the case proceeded.\n\nIn answer to further questions witness said that the sentence was afterwards altered to a fine of $100 on the application of Mr. Dennys, who represented him. He admitted that at the Magistracy he said he did not know for whom he received $8. He was confused when he made that statement. He now admitted that he received it for Yang Fat. Cheng On gave him the name.\n\nMr. Robinson--I suppose you have seen Cheng On since you were at the Magistracy?\n\nWitness--I saw him yesterday or the day before.\n\nWhere? In the witness room?--Yes. You were both together for the greater part of the day in the witness room --We were both together, but we did not speak to each other.\n\nI suppose there was some guard over you. \nHis Lordship--Do I understand that Cheng On told you the name of this man, or do you recollect it?--Cheng On told me and I now recollect it.\n\nIn answer to further questions witness said he did not tell the Magistrate that he received some money from \"Fat Child Chi.\" He did not mention that name at all to the Magistrate. \nRe-examined by Mr. Francis.--He was not questioned at the Magistracy about the Cheung Hing Street gambling house.\n\nHis Lordship--Why didn't you mention it? \nWitness--Because I had no direct dealings with the affairs and therefore I did not mention anything about that house. The money was simply handed to me and I was asked to pass it over.\n\nWhen was the last payment you made to Chong On? 17th June last.\n\nSam Yeen, who was convicted of being the keeper of a gambling house at 2, Wa Lane, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, was then called. He said he had been connected with the house for five years, No. 3, East Street, was the outer office of 2, Wa Lane, and the money, jewellery, and accounts were kept there. There was only one gambling house in Wa Lane--only one house in which gaming was actually carried on. Gaming was sometimes carried on in No. 5. In reality there were two houses in which gaming was carried on, but both belonged to the same establishment. The playing was sometimes shifted to No. 2, Ng Kwai Fong, next to the Tam Fa Lau eating house. Gambling had been carried on in Nos. 2 and 5, Wa Lane, every day from the 2nd February this year to the 18th June. The hours were 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. Last year gambling was carried on for six months in broken periods. Witness then spoke to paying money to Tung Kum and to the conversation he had with Cheng On respecting No. 12's application for money. Witness told Cheng On that if No. 12 received $1 a day the recipient must not chase and beat witness's fokis. Witness consented to pay $1 a day and 10 cents for Cheng On. Witness paid altogether about $150 a day for distribution during the fourth and fifth months. The police who received the money were supposed not to take any notice of the gambling houses. Witness was then shown a list and he pointed out the entry \"No. 12, $1.10, Cheng On's hand.\" That meant that the money was paid to Cheng On. There was also an entry \"$23.55, paid to Tung Kam\" and another $31.05 paid to Tung Kom.\" Another entry was \"No. 12, $1, Cheng On's hand entered in Kum's hand,\" meaning that the money was paid to Tung Kam. The list was a memorandum showing the names of persons to whom money was paid and the amount of each payment.\n\nMr. Francis--I will now ask your Lordship for direction in reference to the entries in the books, such as 43, 89, and 91, and Government House and other people. Does your Lordship think that I should ask questions about those entries or should the matter be dropped entirely?\n\nHis Lordship--Mr. Robinson did ask a certain number of questions about them, but I think we should keep ourselves free of them.\n\nMr. Francis--I think it is only fair to the parties concerned that some questions should be asked about them, but I am entirely in your Lordship's hands. The matter is not a necessary portion of our case, but I cannot say what my friend in his address to the jury will say.\n\nHis Lordship--What I shall say to the jury with reference to this list is that we are not trying the question of the guilt or innocence of all the parties mentioned in this list as having received sums of money, but the defence is entitled to look at this list and if they can show there are absurd entries in it and also impossible things they could say that the list is therefore not bona-fide and the jury would be entitled to disbelieve it.\n\nMr. Francis--Then, my Lord, that lays the duty absolutely incumbent upon me to show that these entries are not absurd.\n\nHis Lordship--On the face of it these entries may be true or untrue, but we are not trying that question.\n\nMr. Francis--If it is open to my friend to say that the list is entirely false because he thinks fit to say so, the prosecution is entitled to say that they are not absurdities.\n\nHis Lordship--As far as my opinion goes he has not succeeded in showing that the entries are unreasonable and ought not to be there. Suppose the name of the Governor is there as receiving $5, or the name of the General as receiving $3, I think the gentlemen of the jury will say, \"We cannot believe that; it is so utterly impossible.\"\n\nMr. Francis--Very well, my Lord. Even the entries \"Government House\" so and so and \"Ho Kai\" so and so can be explained. Suppose the explanation is this, that it is simply an entry relating to a boy in employ at Government House or to a servant in the employ of Dr. Ho Kai. I submit I am entitled to get that explanation from the witness if the defence are allowed to make a point of those entries.\n\nHis Lordship--If they do make a point... \nMr. Francis--If they do make a point of it it will be too late for me to give the explanations. \nHis Lordship--We have no evidence that it is Dr. Ho Kai.\n\nMr. Francis--Questions were asked in reference to 89 and 91. I want to show that they were in receipt of bribes and that there is no reason why the entries should be looked upon as absurdities.\n\nHis Lordship--It came out in evidence that they had been formerly in connection with the Central District and therefore I shall put it to the jury that they might or might not have received bribes. But we are not trying that question.\n\nThe Attorney-General--I do not wish to throw dirt at anybody who is not here to answer, and your Lordship will notice that I have not introduced a single name, with the exception of Witchell's, as being in receipt of bribes, as all cases of that sort will give very...\n\nPage 472",

        "content_text": "You bad authority to put the names in the list P-Yos, because I looked after the accounts. When the raid was made were all the books seized or were some saved?-Nothing was saved; all the books and papers were taken possession of by the Police, but some other papers were burned before then.\n\nDoes that list show the total daily payments to Tung Kam?-Yes.\n\nIt does not show the names of the people to whom he was to distribute the money-\n\nthe names appear in the other book,\n\nNo,\n\nIs that the sort of account kept with Tung Kum?--And the others as well.\n\nWhat is the total daily payments?- $146.88. His Lordship-It is no wonder the business did not pay.\n\nThe Foreman of the jury-Does the $116.88 paid daily appear in the general account as one lump sum or as so much money paid away?\n\nWitness-The daily payments of these expenses do not appear in the ledger, but in this bundle of papers.\n\nHow did you strike a balance?---I struck a balance by making out the accounts from these papers.\n\nHow did the proprietors know the amount when it is not shown in the books? These bills have to be produced and shown to the masters.\n\nSo you have no proper books kept for the proprietors?\n\nMr. Francis, by permission of his Lordship, asked a few questions in regard to the keeping of the accounts and their Lordship said it would be better if the Court interpreter examined the books.\n\nMr. Robinson said the Crown were not entitled to farther time in this matter. They had had the documents in their possession since June, and he submitted in a case of this sort they ought to have had every document translated for the use of both parties and the Court. His Lordship said it appeared there was very little in the books relating to the defendant, and he thought it would not be desirable to put the Crown to the trouble and expense of translating those books. Of course Mr. Robinson could also have access to the books.\n\nMr. Robinson said his point was one of general procedure. The Crown ought to have referred to those documents before they came into court. Mr. Francis said the books could not have been put in as evidence for the Crown at all. Therefore the Crown had made no preparations, as they did not expect the books to be referred to.\n\nThe Attorney-General intimated that the case for the Crown was practically finished unless the jury wished to ask more questions on the books. They had also the silk mercer in reserve to give evidence if called upon.\n\nThe Court had now sat from 9 o'clock until 2.10 without an adjournment, and his Lordship said he had an engagement of a semi-public nature at four o'clock. If the jury wished he would resume the hearing about five o'clock if it was possible to finish the case that day.\n\nMr. Robinson said he might have several witnesses or he might have only one to call; that depended on circumstances and his judgment at the time.\n\nHis Lordship thereupon said the case could not be finished that afternoon and the Court adjourned until 10 a.m. to-morrow.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nSUPREME COURT.\n\n3rd August.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nBEFORE SIR JOHN CARRINGTON (CHIEF JUSTICE).\n\nTHE CHARGE AGAINST INSPECTOR WITCHELL.\n\nVERDICT AND SENTENCE.\n\nThe trial of Job Witchell, Inspector of Police, charged with accepting bribes from gambling house keepers, was resumed.\n\nHon. W. M. Goodman (Attorney-General) and Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C. (instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys, Crown Solicitor), prosecuted and Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. G. C. U. Master) defended.\n\nThe following was the special jury ----Messrs. R. Marten, W. H. Potts, A. Findlay Smith, T. I. Rose, St. C. Michaelsen, E. W. Mitchell, and F. G. Collins.\n\nMr. Francis said that by his Lordship's direction, Mr. A. Seth, Deputy Registrar, with the assistance of the Court interpreter, had made an examination of the books with reference to which the jury had made an inquiry on the last day of the trial.\n\nHis Lordship said Mr. Seth had better be called as a witness.\n\nMr. A. Seth, Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court, was then called. He said that since the last hearing he had examined the books produced at that hearing and also eighteen slips. The eighteen slips each contained a day's receipts and expenditure. The receipts consisted of cash and pledges. The expenditure consisted of cash, \"peace\" money, and sundries. The accounts were balanced daily, so that each slip showed the daily balance to credit or debit. Those daily balances were carried to what might be called the ledger. At a certain period the total losses or profits were struck and carried into the year's account. The books showed that in the 11th and 5th moons the total profit was $34,681.08 and the total loss $39,336.61. Having examined the books witness was able to say that the items of commissions charged in the daily sheet were carried through the whole set of books.\n\nIn cross-examination by Mr. Robinson witness said there was no statement of the year mentioned. The name, Tung Kum, did not, as far as witness knew, appear in the documents, nor did the name of No. 12. The wages averaged $17 or $18 a day, sundries averaged $15, and there was a daily average in the fifth month of $150 for commission.\n\nIn answer to his Lordship witness said that the term \"commission\" would cover payments made in the way of hush-money. Each of the eighteen slips dealt with one day. The ledger dealt with the period from the 29th day of the eleventh moon to the 19th day of the fifth moon. From those slips a person could get an idea of what was going on in the business. The books did not appear to be fabricated or unreal.\n\nSam Yeon was then re-called to state that the slips were the daily account for the fifth Wan fat Lau business. They related to the fifth moon of this year. The item \"commission\" included hush-money. The gaming house was open from 6 a.m. until 12 p.m. Before he said the house was open from 6 p.m. until midnight.\n\nThis concluded the case for the Crown.\n\nMr. Robinson said he did not intend just then to address the jury at any length because he had witnesses to call. He would call Mrs. Burnett, who would prove that on the very day on which Cheng On said he had the conversation with Inspector Witchell in defendant's house Cheng On called at the house with samples of silk and he did not see the defendant that day because he was upstairs all the time. He only saw Mrs. Witchell (whom counsel could not call) and Mrs. Burnett in the dining room. Therefore Cheng On told a deliberate falsehood when he said he had a conversation with the defendant. The reason why silk was wanted was because defendant wished to send some home to a friend. The whole case rested on the evidence of Cheng On, who was utterly unworthy of belief. The evidence would show that Cheng On did not go to the house to talk about bribes, but to take samples of silk. Counsel then pointed out the relative positions of the two men, Witchell and Cheng On. Witchell was, as the jury had heard, one of the smartest and most zealous officers in the Police Force, while Cheng On was the chief excise officer, that is, the chief native officer over the native excise officers under the Opium Farmer. The defendant knew that by being on friendly terms with the chief excise\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364",

        "content_text": "officer he would be able to procure for himself the advantage of the chief excise officer's knowledge. The defendant could procure through him \"tips\" which would be useful to a police officer. Another point was that the gambling houses presented a double aspect to the people connected with them. There was the capitalist who put his money into the concern, there were the police to find it out, and there were fokis who were the fokis were there for what purpose? there simply for love of gambling or to make money? They were there to make as much money as they could out of the capitalist who put his money into the illegal business. Their object was to line their own pockets. How was that done? Let the jury take Sam Yeen, who had during the past five years followed the occupation of a gambler. Bribes were paid to the police. After a time the bribes increased and increased until they came to $150 a day, or between $4,000 and $5,000 a month. Did the jury think that all that money was paid to the police, or did they think it found its way into the pockets of Sam Yeen, Tung Kum, and Cheng On? Possibly some of the native police were in the pay of the men. Was it not possible that something was done at the Magistracy, from which the warrants were issued? It was easy to see that the gamblers could easily get information from the Magistracy without the Europeans being able to do so. Counsel put it that the $150 a day was not all paid out to the police; it simply went into the pockets of Sam Yeen, who gulled the partners and persuaded them that they paid the money to the police. Clever Sam Yeen and clever Tung Kum! When the capital was lost there would be a cessation of business and a new partnership would be worked up and a new syndicate would carry on the business. The jury had it that the gambling houses were a source of great profit. So they were. But \"for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heathen Chines is peculiar.\" It was very clear how the money went. Men of the kidney of Sam Yeen, Tung Kum, and Cheng On encouraged the syndicate to put in their money, which they disposed of. The list represented the trick of the fokis who were cheating their employers. The partners had no check on their tokis, and the partners were absolutely in the hands of the fokis. The partners were the milch cows. From a common sense point of view the list was absolutely to be disregarded. Take the Government House entry. A lukong in the employ of Government House says, \"Pay me 30 cents; if you do not I am in a position to give information.\" The money is paid because the lukong is in a position to give information. Sam Yeen had said, \"Not a cent would I have paid Cheng On if he had come on his own account.\" That was certainly an economy of the truth, because Sam Yeen had perhaps forgotten that he had already admitted paying to Cheng On on his own account $3.50 every five days or 70 cents a day. Cheng On said to himself, \"I have got the entrée to the Inspector's house; I see him at the Magistracy; I make a point of going to him and speaking to him; I am a friend of the Inspector and these gambling people know I am a friend. I will tell them my friend the Inspector wants some money and they are bound to believe me, and I will put the money in my own pocket.” If they thought he was not an emissary of the Inspector he could say to them, \"All right, you can see me go into the Inspector's house.\" Cheng On had ingratiated himself with the Inspector and the Inspector allowed him in his house because he could obtain good information from Cheng On. Where was the proof that defendant was paid the money? If such evidence was to convict a respectable man counsel was of opinion that there was not a firm in the place but must be under suspicion. Counsel did not know if a man like Cheng On could touch the gentlemen of the jury in civil life, but in official life every policeman in Hongkong could not help feeling that his character was in the hands of the Chinese; that is, if evidence of Chinese was to be believed. And such Chinese, too! One was a convicted gambler and the others associates of professional gamblers.\n\nIn regard to Cheng On, he was in custody under a banishment warrant. His only escape from that banishment was by telling this story. He had been the chief excise officer and he knew that the officers of the Imperial Maritime Customs of China were all round the Chinese frontier to stop the smuggling of opium. By whom? Cheng On would not like to go over the Chinese border; he had every inducement not to go and he resolved to save himself at the expense of another. He had arranged this matter. Cheng On's only chance of escape was by accusing Witchell for his own protection. He was told to tell the truth. When that was said by a high executive officer to a man under banishment, and who knew the consequences of being banished, it amounted to telling him to give incriminating evidence. He could hardly help himself because he had given himself away to Sam Yeen in saying that he came on behalf of the defendant. If Cheng On had told the truth would his case have been considered by the Government? Who was to be the judge of the truth? Counsel then said that supposing by chance Mr. Francis, who had a great reputation amongst the Chinese, had a client who kept a gambling house and he wanted to get something good out of Mr. Francis. If that man went to the gambling house keeper and said, \"If you do not pay me something I will tell Mr. Francis and he will tell the Chief of Police and make it pretty hot for you.\" In that case the jury would have found in the book the entry- Francis, $1.\"\n\nMrs. Barnett was then called. She said she went to the defendant's house on the 11th March, when Cheng On took some samples of silk there. Mrs. Witchell saw him, but defendant did not. Cheng On remained in the house about ten minutes. Defendant was upstairs during all that time.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Francis-The samples of silk were left in the house by Cheng On.\n\nActing Chief Inspector Mackie was the next witness. He said-P. S. McIver and his wife went home on the 25th March last in the P. and O. steamer Kaisar-i-Hind. I know Watson, the clerk at the Goal.\n\nHis Lordship thought that this was going rather outside the case and Mr. Robinson asked no further questions.\n\nThis concluded the evidence for the defence. The Attorney-General then asked permission to call the silk mercer.\n\nHis Lordship thought it was not admissible to call that man as the silk might have been bought from somebody else in March.\n\nMr. Robinson finally addressed the jury and said that a few words would be sufficient to put the defendant's view of the case before the jury. He had already addressed them on the main points and there were only a few incidental points that he need refer to. Counsel referred to what he called the growth of the case since the hearing at the Magistracy and commented upon the discrepancies in the evidence of Sam Yeen and Cheng On and also upon the fact that the list, which was said to be three years old, was not in the least dirty or frayed, while the ink was in parts bright. \"The books of account were put in for the purpose—\n\nMr. Francis said that the defence called for the books; the prosecution did not put them in. Mr. Robinson submitted that as the counsel for the Crown in his opening statement referred to a complete set of books being found in the gambling house giving the accounts of the business it followed that they became evidence.\n\nHis Lordship said the prosecution could not have put in the books.\n\nMr. Robinson-Then how very reprehensible to refer to them.\n\nHis Lordship said Mr. Francis had merely given a description of the books.\n\nMr. Robinson-Essing made that statement and it having been published in the Press from the Magistracy downwards, it would have been like shirking, bilking, and being afraid of them if an attempt had been made to keep them out. I was not afraid of them.\n\nHis Lordship--If Mr. Francis had tendered these books as evidence against the defendant I should have refused to receive them and I should have directed the jury, in my summing up, to dismiss from their minds all they had heard or read of any entries.\n\n475",

        "content_text": "bling houses. Captain May really knew very little about this particular case. His evidence, as bearing upon the defendant, was very short and simple and confined to a few general particulars, but in order, so to speak, to break down the case as affecting the whole of the police, the defence went for Captain May and took him over a whole protracted cross-examination, and, his Lordship was going to say, with some asperity. In regard to the Chinese witnesses the jury would consider their demeanour and the manner in which they gave their evidence. It appeared to his Lordship that Cheng On and Tung Kum stood their cross-examination very well. Mr. May underwent his cross-examination in a very fair and honest manner. One important point that came out in his cross-examination was that there was no vestige of ill-feeling on his part towards the defendant, that he had no desire to see the defendant punished from any personal motives, and that he was doing his duty in this matter as a public officer only. He spoke in high terms of the defendant and they had it on all hands that the defendant was an officer of great energy, ability, and zeal. Juries naturally gave the benefit of any doubt to a man of a good character and the jury would no doubt bear that in mind. With regard to Cheng On and Tung Kum they were scarcely cross-examined at all. They were not closely questioned; they were not dragged over the harrow, so to speak. The cross-examination was conducted in a somewhat general manner and the witnesses certainly did not break down under it. It appeared to his Lordship that Sam Yean was not a satisfactory witness under cross-examination; he was somewhat uncertain and shifty.\n\nHis Lordship then proceeded with a general statement of the case and in regard to the letter sent to Mr. May asked if the jury thought that Cheng On could have known of that letter if the defendant had not told him about it. The jury had also to remember that, according to Cheng On's statement, Mr. May went to the house in Kwai Wa Lane, whereas he did not go, and it was most probable that the defendant would know whether Mr. May went or not. Speaking of the interview of the 11th March deposed to by Cheng On, his Lordship pointed out that the statement was a long one and the jury would have to consider whether defendant would not beat about the bush and not ask Cheng On straight off to pay him bribes. Speaking of the other names in the list his Lordship had ruled that they could not go into the general question. They were not trying the other members of the Police Force but only the defendant. When they found a number of names appearing in a list it was impossible according to the rules of evidence and reason for them to take up the list to see whether or not the bribes had been paid to the persons or not. Those were side issues, which would involve interminable inquiries and the appearance of all those persons before the Court. It was entirely a collateral issue whether Inspector Mann had taken bribes or not. Inspector Mann may have taken bribes or he may not. They did not know and they did not care; they were simply inquiring whether the defendant took bribes. Suppose the Governor's name appeared there for $5 and the General's for $3. The jury would have said, \"We will not call the Governor and we will not call the General.” and they would also say to themselves, \"It is impossible that these two gentlemen—these two high officers—would receive bribes.\" Names of Inspector Mann and Acting Inspector Hall appeared in the books and the defence asked the jury to say that the list could not be accepted as genuine because those two men were not stationed in the gambling sections. But both men had been in the Central District and it also appeared that they were still in the colony. Therefore the conclusion was that it was not impossible or not highly improbable or absurd that their names should be in the list. They might have been receiving bribes or they might not, but the jury were not charged with that issue. The presence of their names in the list did not render the list the least absurd or unreliable.\n\nHis Lordship then referred to the evidence for the defence. If the jury believed Mrs. Barnett had not mistaken the time and place it was quite clear that Cheng On had told what was not the truth, but they must weigh the evidence most carefully and consider which of them gave the more likely evidence. They must not consider the evidence on the broad question of Chinese and Europeans. That would be a mistake. It was quite possible for a Chinaman to tell the truth and for a European to tell a falsehood and vice versa. They had to look at it in the light of the way the evidence was given and in the light of the probabilities of the case.\n\nHis Lordship concluded as follows—Gentlemen of the jury, this case is important both from the point of view of the Government and from the point of view of the defendant. It is important from the point of view of the Government because if corruption exists in the Police Force it is essential that they should detect it and that they should prove it and punish it. Nothing can be more important from the point of view of the Government than that. If they get a prima facie case against a principal member of the Police Force it is important that they shall bring it forward and prove it if they can; otherwise, gentlemen, the whole administration of the Government fails. If you have corruption in the public service, and especially in the Police Force, then, as I say, you are landed in a series of evils of which no man can see the end. Therefore the case is very important from the Government point of view. I think myself that the moment Captain May made that seizure and had prima facie ground for thinking that the No. 12 mentioned in the list was the defendant, his plain duty was to have this case investigated fully before the Magistrate and, if the Magistrate sent it forward, in this court also.\n\nYou will also bear in mind that the case is in the last degree important to the defendant. Of course it is his bounden duty to fight the case to the end. If this charge is proved he not only undergoes punishment, but he is a disgraced and ruined man for life, because he would be adjudged unworthy of any office of trust and honour that might be within his reach. Therefore, as I have said, the case has taken a long time, but it is one of vast importance and I am glad to think that we have had a fair and impartial inquiry. I am glad to think that you have listened attentively to the evidence and to the addresses of counsel, and I am quite certain you are actuated by only one desire to do right in this matter according to your oaths between the Crown and the defendant, and I do trust that your intelligence will guide you to a right decision.\n\nMr. Robinson asked his Lordship to remind the jury that if they were unable to agree after a reasonable time the verdict of five of their number could be given.\n\nHis Lordship told the jury this and that a reasonable time was about one hour.\n\nThe jury retired to consider their verdict at 6.55.\n\nMr. Robinson asked if the defendant could be allowed a seat.\n\nHis Lordship—Certainly. I should like to say, Mr. Robinson, that if I had thought of it before I should have directed the Indian guard to be withdrawn in deference to his being an Inspector of Police. However, it is too late now.\n\nThe defendant was then accommodated with a seat outside the dock.\n\nThe jury returned into court at 7.15 and defendant re-entered the dock.\n\nThe Clerk of the Court—Have you agreed upon your verdict? Do you find Job Witchell guilty or not guilty?\n\nThe Foreman—Guilty.\n\nThe Clerk of the Court—Are you unanimous?\n\nThe Foreman—Yes. The jury would like to recommend the defendant to the mercy of the Court in consideration of his previous good conduct.\n\nDefendant—May it please you, my Lord, will you kindly allow me to read this letter from Tenby in acknowledgement of the receipt of the silk?\n\nHis Lordship—We cannot go into that now. Do you wish to say anything with regard to sentence?\n\nDefendant—My Lord, as I have been found guilty on this abominable charge I beg the mercy of the Court. I have a family of five.\n\n477",

I read that rule as a rule that every member of the Force was bound to\n\nCarry out instructions. I have not got a copy of the Regulations with me. I told the Magistrate that that rule did not apply to Inspectors. I told the Magistrate that, to the best of my knowledge, there was no regulation relating to gambling so far as Inspectors were concerned. I led the Magistrate to believe that there was nothing to control the discretion of Inspectors except departmental orders. When I gave evidence, the rule of 1889 about Inspectors slipped my memory.\n\nI was asked at the Police Court whether an Inspector was, in matters of gambling, confined to his own Section, and I said \"no\". There is no order which absolves an Inspector from reporting a gambling house in another Inspector's Section. I was asked if an Inspector was allowed by the Rules of the Force to make a report on another Inspector's district, and I said \"no\". There is a rule that an Inspector shall not take out a warrant in another Inspector's District or obtain a warrant in another Inspector's district.",

I saw him on or about the 2nd March last. He came to my place at No.8 East Street. He came by himself. I had a conversation with him. When he came up he said he was sent by No.12. In No.13's Section there was no more gambling carrying on now. No.12 had sent him to give me a message. He said, \"No.12 says you should give him a dollar a day.\" Then I said \"no doubt he went in to lie in wait for some time in the first and chased after the jokesters and beat them? If I allow him a dollar a day, he must not chase or beat my fokis.\" Cheng On said, \"Yes, if you give him money, he will not chase or beat your fokis.\" Then the conversation ended. I agreed to pay a dollar to No.12. Chong On suggested that I should pay him 10 cents for his trouble. I agreed to do this. He said, \"You can hand the money to Jangham and I will receive it from him.\" I did not see him again after this. The first payment was made to Jeny Kam on the 14th March. There was only one interview between Cheng On and myself about the matter. That was on the 12th March.",

Sometimes I made out a list of the people to whom Tungkam was to pay the money and sometimes not. I paid to Jungtam for other persons besides No 12. I paid to other agents besides Jung Kamer. These monies were paid to these policemen because if they were not paid the policemen would not allow me to carry the gambling.\n\nExhibit C.12 is in my handwriting - the whole of it.

These payments were all made to Jung Kam's hands, and then follow the names of the parties to whom the sums were to be distributed. Of the sum of $31.55 Tungham had to pay certain sums to Cheungten, $4.60 for Urung Fat, $1.00 for No. 12, and 10 cents for himself. Every five days that would be $17.

        "content_text": "Enclosure 9.\n\n20056 RECR(Rec 15 SEP 7\n\nExtract from the \"Daily Press\" of the 4th August, 1897.\n\nHis Lordship commenced summing up at 5.20 and said that as a late hour had been reached and the jury had followed the evidence so carefully he would be less particular in going into all the evidence that had been given. After explaining the law on the question and detailing various points in the information his Lordship said the contest took place with reference to the receipt of money by the defendant. If they thought that the money was received under the circumstances referred to there could be no doubt that the defendant was guilty.\n\nHis Lordship could not help thinking that the length of the case had been greatly extended by the fact that the defence had taken upon themselves the burden of the police case generally, having an eye, so to speak, to the position of the members of the Police Force. He founded those observations on two reasons. In the first place, Mr. May underwent a very long and severe cross-examination: he was under cross-examination for practically a whole day. The other reason was the introduction of the books and papers. Both those points and the way with which the points were dealt made him think that the defendant had committed an error in judgment as they very much prolonged the case and made it more embarrassing to arrive at a right conclusion.\n\nHis Lordship's own view in regard to the books was that if the books were ruled not to be corroborative evidence in any way against the defendant, then the result was that the defendant had set up a bogey in order to knock it down, and he had taken a great deal of time to do it; whereas if the jury arrived at the conclusion that the books did corroborate the story the defence had undoubtedly admitted an enemy in the camp by asking for the books. If the books had not been produced his Lordship would have asked the jury to dismiss from their minds anything they might have heard or read in the newspapers regarding the entries in the books, and he was quite certain the jury would have acted on these instructions. So also in regard to the general position of the police.\n\nThere was no need to make out that Captain May had mismanaged the police in regard to the gambling houses. Captain May really knew very little about this particular case. His evidence, as bearing upon the defendant, was very short and simple and confined to a few general particulars, but in order, so to speak, to break down the case as affecting the whole of the police, the defence went for Captain May and took him over the whole ground and, his Lordship was going to say, with some asperity.\n\nIn regard to the Chinese witnesses the jury would consider their demeanour and the manner in which they gave their evidence. It appeared to his Lordship that Cheng On and Tung Kam stood their cross-examination very well. Mr. May underwent his cross-examination in a very fair and honest manner. One important point that came out in his cross-examination was that there was no vestige of ill-feeling on his part towards the defendant, that he had no desire to see the defendant punished from any personal motives, and that he was doing his duty in this matter as a public officer only. He spoke in high terms of the defendant and they had it on all hands that the defendant was an officer of great energy, ability, and zeal. Juries naturally gave the benefit of any doubt to a man of a good character and the jury would no doubt bear that in mind.\n\nIn regard to Cheng On and Tung Kam they were scarcely cross-examined at all. They were not closely questioned, they were not dragged over the harrow, so to speak. Cross-examination was conducted in a somewhat general manner and the witnesses certainly did not break down under it. It appeared to his Lordship that Sam Yen was not a satisfactory witness under cross-examination; he was somewhat uncertain and shifty.\n\nPage 633",

It shall still continue to follow the frontier between those two districts, which is locally well known, to where it leaves the aforesaid river and ascends the ills, and shall theu follow the line of water-parting between the tributaries of the Halween and the Meikong Rivers, from about longi- tude 99° cast of Greenwich (17° 30′ west of Peking), and latitude 23° 26', to a point about longitude 99° 40′ east of Greenwich\n\nKania \n\nBaming \n\nMithwinn \n\nMogeung \n\n{indowgyi L.\n\nSuitca Hanchon \n\nLONG WHE \n\nWARLING PUM \n\nJo Realong DARU FIM NAVIENAS PATRUNG ?2 \n\nNerang \n\nCUMRA SHIKONGLA \n\nwrapingh \n\nMaver \n\nMungko \n\nMongkon \n\nStamg Nin the \n\nMrenteau \n\nALAW \n\nMaawaing \n\nampaang \n\nJavni dona \n\nMengke \n\nCheng \n\nMony Klang \n\nNougko \n\nPale Byuton \n\nหล \n\nConglon \n\nShwe Hirer! \n\nMassing Kaymaz \n\n„Laipony *.. \n\nNam Fing \n\nLoipuningane's \n\nT \n\nMonga \n\nS \n\nhanglange \n\nthaw HE \n\n(ENTING \n\nMogok \n\nBong Sat: \n\nR T \n\nS \n\nII A N \n\n\"Meny You \n\nMover Rena \n\nMan Inony \n\n*Kengins \n\nMengke \n\n4.06.28 40 € \n\n* Mawsin \n\nLOI CHOW PEAK \n\nNG \n\nA W \n\nCongmau \n\nJhalor \n\nMAP \n\nENLARGED Shewing the track of contury.\n\nbelonging to Chma leased to \n\nGreat Britem \n\nSuscribed in Art. 2 of the Agreement \n\nSesle à miles Finch \n\nMerg Saa \n\nL \n\nBoundary between Burme & Chan according to the Convention of 1590.\n\nN \n\nAgreement....-1857. \n\nC \n\nI \n\nN \n\nA \n\nPIFER \n\nNu Lawt \n\nMag Lem \n\nMTNG L \n\n\"Mons Ma \n\nKEN \n\nMong & \n\nK E \n\nN \n\nMeng tion \n\n& \n\nHham Fan \n\nKong Thing \n\nKonghkani \n\njo Mony Darau \n\nHong Yuany \n\n:00 \n\nPu-erh-fic \n\nSu mao \n\nKeng Big \n\nHERO CHENG \n\nMong Using \n\nBack \n\nMong La Meng Hping \n\nVPN โล \n\nLith at the intell.

        "content_text": "## \n9. With regard to the allegation that gambling had been carried on in the two lanes named in the last paragraph, your Petitioners (except O MI CHEUNG No. 4 in paragraph No. 1) who was in the Water Police and therefore had nothing to do with gambling, and WONG KEUNG (No. 6 in paragraph No. 1) who was employed on P. & O. Ships) were aware that within the period named gambling had been carried on, on and off, in various houses in the said lanes, but seldom in one for more than a few successive days at most, while it was often removed once or more a day. But your Petitioners can truthfully assert that within that three years, notwithstanding an order from Captain Superintendent May that they, as detectives, were not to trouble themselves about gambling, they have frequently reported the gambling to Inspectors, that the houses were often broken, and that your Petitioners generally assisted in raiding them. Your Petitioners have also often reported gambling houses and assisted in arresting gamblers in other parts of Hongkong, as the records of the Detective Office will show. Further, your Petitioners beg to point out that there always has been and, so far as they can learn, judging from the present indications, there always will be gambling in Hongkong.\n\n10. Except the examinations, in gaol, of your Petitioners YEUNG FAT, TANG CHUNG, and O MI CHEUNG, by way of attempting to extort a false confession of guiltiness from them, as set out in schedules A, B, & C, hereto, none of your Petitioners were ever brought to any form of trial. If the Captain Superintendent had any evidence that either of your Petitioners was guilty of receiving bribes, he could not have shrunk from his duty of charging him with the offence, in a proper manner. But the Captain Superintendent, acting apparently on some vague, malicious information first obtained banishment orders against your Petitioners named in this paragraph, in order to use them as weapons with which to extort from those named in them incriminatory statements against their superior officers, and failing in that purpose the banishment was carried out. After the illegal treatment your Petitioners were subjected to, the Captain Superintendent necessarily banished them in his own defence and to avoid legal proceedings against himself. Your Petitioners submit that was the real ground of their banishment.\n\n11. Your Petitioners respectfully submit that there was nothing in their conduct nor in any evidence brought against them to show that they had ever taken any part in promoting gambling while, if they had been granted a fair trial with liberty to call evidence, they could have proved that they had for many years taken a very active part in suppressing all kinds of gambling. Your Petitioners further submit that the reason nominally assigned for banishing them was at the time the order was made known to be a fictitious one, but the Captain Superintendent desired for his own purpose to keep your Petitioners out of Hongkong and as they were neither thieves nor persons dangerous to the peace and good order of that Colony, but men of excellent character, he made such representation to His Excellency the Governor as induced him in Council to issue orders for their banishment.\n\n12. As stated in paragraph No. 1, your Petitioners named in that paragraph were entitled to police pensions, and of those, through their arbitrary banishment and dismissal, they have been unjustly deprived. All your Petitioners were for a long time residents in Hongkong and had their families and friends residing there. By their banishment they have been compelled to take their families out of that Colony, they have been severed from all their old associations in the Colony, and they have, after having spent the best years of their lives in the Police service of Hongkong, been obliged to leave there in the manner stated.\n\n13. As your Petitioners feel convinced that you, Sir, would never knowingly acquiesce in, or sanction, such arbitrary injustice being done to any one, and especially not to those who, though aliens, have faithfully served in the public service of a British Colony, they most respectfully beg that you will order a proper inquiry to be made into their case and allow them to return to Hongkong to give evidence at it. But, if, Sir, you do not consider such an inquiry necessary, your Petitioners beg that you will order the cancelment of their dismissal and the withdrawal of their banishment orders, and be pleased to grant pensions to those who have earned them, and your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.\n\nThey are, Sir,\n\nYour most humble, obedient servants\n\n# \n\n## \n22 \n\n*Leung Shing \n1410° Mi Cheung, \n४ \n9 \n11 \n11 \n12 \n13 \n14 \n\n## \nUn Hing \n* 1⁄2 (Wong Heung) \n(Hi Hing) \n\n# B (bhing \n唐見 \nMau: \nAn (Tong Kin) \n染性忠! \n** (Leung Kwai Chur \n3.1 \n#Yeung \n梁林 \nFol) \n24. # (Leung Lam) \n42. this To Tung, \n11 Tong Shing) \n15 \n16 \n17 \n18 \n19 \nDo No \n黄福 \n(Ng You) \n** Wong Buck, \n楊東 \nthe * (Yeung Loi) \n** \n20 黄德 \n21 \n(Wan Ngo) \n(Chi Tsoi) \ntie (Wong Tak) \n(Iwan Shing)",

        "content_text": "## 3 \n\nWuchow, the principle town of the Prefecture of Wuchow, is, at the same time, the seat of the District Magistracy of Ts'ang Wu, a name which appears at a very early date and occupies a prominent place in ancient Chinese history.\n\nThe mythical Emperor Shun (B.C. 2200) while on a tour of inspection of his southern domains died \"in the wilds of Tsang Wu,\" and one tradition at least relates that his grave is to be found in the Great Cloud Mountains, 3 miles to the east of Wuchow.\n\nOf the nine divisions into which the Great Yu (B.C. 2150) divided the Empire, Chingchou was the region lying between the Tungting Lake and the southern Kingdom of Yüeh—the present Annam—and of Chingchou Ts'ang Wu was an important sub-division. It is impossible to state with accuracy at what period Yüeh became tributary to China, but both the first Emperor Ch'in Shih-huang and the Emperors of the Han dynasty appear to have appointed officers to govern that territory on their behalf. Ch'in Shih-huang divided the hundred Yüeh into the three Provinces of Nanhai, Kuei-lin, and Hsiang, and when the rule of his house came to an end, a certain official known as Chao To took possession thereof, and, calling himself Emperor of Southern Yüeh, appointed Chao Kuang Prince of Tsang Wu, to reside at Kuang-hsin, an old town, 1 mile to the east of the present Wuchow.\n\nIn the year 135 B.C. Han Wu-ti dispatched one of his Generals, Fu Po, to conquer the Southern Yüeh, and he divided it up into seven districts known as Nanhai, Tsang Wu, Yü-lin, Ho-p'u, Chiao-chi, Chiu-chen, and Jih-nan, placing them under the control of an officer known as the Governor of Annam to reside at Kuang-hsin.\n\nIn 592 A.D. the present city of Tsang Wu was built and thenceforward became the seat of Government. The Province of Kuanghsi was first defined in 1364 by the last of the Sungs, and in 1465 the office of Governor-General of the Liang Kuang was instituted by the Ming Emperor Ch'êng Hua. This officer resided for some sixty years at Ts'ang Wu, and then occasionally went to reside at Shao-ching, returning as necessity arose to Wuchow. At the commencement of the present dynasty, this state of things still obtained, but in 1665 the seat of Provincial Government was transferred to Kuei-lin, and Wuchow reverted to the status of an ordinary prefectual city.\n\nIn the autumn of 1857, it fell after a siege of 100 days into the hands of the Boat rebels, who, availing themselves of the anarchy caused by the Taiping rebellion, appear to have harried this and the neighbouring province for many years; the city was retaken two years later.\n\nAs above stated, the old city and district were known as Kuang-hsin, and the site thereof was on the ground lately purchased by Jardine, Matheson, and Co.\n\nThe present city, which is about 1,300 years old, stands at the junction of the Fu or Kuei River and the waterway known to foreigners as the West River. Its position has ever been considered by the Chinese one of great strategic importance, in as much as it controls the passage to and from the provinces of Kuangtung and Kuanghsi. In the middle of the main river, 2 miles below the town, is an islet known as Hsi Lung Chou, which in native opinion forms the key to the water system of the whole province. The point of confluence is known as San Chiang Ho, or the junction of the three rivers, and it may not be without interest if I endeavour to give a rough sketch of the streams which here unite and form the West River proper. Not, however, having a single reliable map at hand and having no guide but the notorious inaccuracy of Chinese geographers, the attempt is not likely to prove of much value. (Extracted from the Prefectural Topography.)\n\nThe three rivers are, I, the Li River, II, the Yu or right River, and III, the Tso or left River.\n\n### The Three Rivers\n\n| River | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| I. The Li-chiang | rises in the north-east corner of the province on the Haiyang range, and, flowing past Lingch'uan, Kueilin, and Pinglo, enters the West River at Wuchow. |\n| II. The Yu-chiang | is formed by (1) the Lung River and (2) the Fung River, which, after uniting at Lin-ch'êng, are joined lower down by (3) the Hung-shui River, and meet III at Hsun-chou. |\n| III. The Tso-chiang | is formed by (1) the Tsang-ko River and (2) the Chiao-chih River, together with several smaller streams. |\n\n1. The Lung-chiang rises in Kuei-chou, and flows past Ch'ing-yüan.\n2. The Fung-chiang rises in Kuei-chou, and flows past Huai-yüan.\n3. The Hung-shui-chiang rises in Yunnan, and flows past Hsi-lung, joins (1) and (2), united at Lai-pin.\n\n1. The Tsang-ko-chiang rises in Yunnan, flows past Tien-chou, and joins (2) at Ho-chiang-chên.\n2. The Chiao-chih-chiang rises in Tongking.\n\n(1) and (2), after their junction, flow past Nanning, and are known as the Yu River, until they reach Hsin-chou. The name West River is not given to the main stream until it crosses the border of Kuangtung 10 miles below Wuchow. Here it is known as the Wu-chiang.\n\nThe city of Wuchow contains some 40,000 inhabitants, and the districts controlled by the Prefecture are Tsang Wu, Huai-chi, Ts'en-chi, Teng, and Tung. The aboriginal inhabitants were known as Yao and Tung, and during the Ming dynasty appear to have given the officials much trouble. Since then, however, they have gradually assimilated with the Chinese, and I do not believe there are any distinctive aboriginal villages in the Prefecture.\n\nOf the town, little is to be said; it is essentially one of mean streets, low-lying, and constantly liable during the summer to inundation. The business quarter extends along the banks of both rivers to the south and west of the city wall, and it is surprising that the Cantonese, who form 99 per cent. of the mercantile community, should put up year after year with the loss of business and other inconveniences which are the result of the annual submersion of their premises.\n\nA disastrous fire which took place some two years ago has led to the introduction of a steam pumping-engine, and the laying of fire mains in the suburbs, but the system is not yet in working order.\n\nI have not been here for a sufficient length of time to see what effect freshets on the Fu River have; the period during which it is stated to be most violent is when the West River is low and unable to dam up the accumulated mountain torrents which rush down its sloping bed. To judge, however, by the fact that for centuries it was spanned by a bridge of boats a few hundred yards above its mouth, there would seem to be no reason why communication between Wuchow and the west bank of this river should be cut off for days at a time. In 1472, Hanfeng, a famous Governor-General then resident here, threw a bridge of fifty-six boats across the river, and supported it by chains fastened to two iron posts on either bank. This bridge continued in existence till well on into the present century, and was first broken off, I believe, when the rebels made their appearance before the town. The four iron posts still remain in a state of almost perfect preservation. In 1596, a similar bridge of 142 boats was thrown across the main river, but it does not seem to have been kept up for any considerable number of years. The engineering difficulties to be contended with are of course much greater on the main river than on the Fu Ho, owing to the very great difference between the West River's summer and winter levels. This summer, the river commenced to rise shortly after my arrival, and reached its highest point on the 1st July, 35 feet above the water-mark of the 15th June. It fell, however, very rapidly, and again rose some 15 to 20 feet about the beginning of August. The bank of the West River is a mud flat sloping at an angle of about 45 degrees, whereas the banks of the Fu River are rocky and steep. The colour of the water in the latter is the clear green of a mountain stream, in marked contrast to the yellow muddiness of the main river.\n\nA small hill opposite the city, known as the Fire Hill, would appear to have been at one time in a state of active volcanic eruption, as up to the middle of the fourteenth century, it was constantly emitting fire. Local notes, too, have innumerable notes of earthquakes having occurred in the Prefecture.\n\n### Local Revenue\n\nAs regards local revenue, this Prefecture is considered the wealthiest in the province, owing to the fact that the greater proportion of imports into, and exports from, Kuanghsi must pass the four custom-houses—which are now increased to five by the addition of the Maritime Customs—which line the river bank. The Prefectural custom-house, at which all produce must pay duty, has an annual revenue of 130,000 to 140,000 taels, of which sum only some 70,000 taels has to be remitted to the Provincial Treasury. The chief source of revenue is duty on rafts, of which great numbers pass down the river. The land tax is fixed at 53,314 taels per annum, and the salt duties at 46,828 taels.\n\nThe Wuchow Li-kin Office controls four stations, three at Wuchow itself, and one...",

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.\n\nHer Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies,\n\n## The PETITION OF TANG CHUNG of Sam kok shi street (=) Canton, late a Sergeant in the Police Force of Hongkong and of the other undersigned twenty men, late members of the said Police Force.\n\n**MOST RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH:**\n\n1. Your Petitioner TANG CHUNG ex P.S. 190, enlisted in the Police Force of the Colony of Hongkong on the 1st June, 1872, and served therein until the 12th July, 1897. During his service he received promotions from grade to grade until, in 1894 he attained the highest rank a Chinese can hold, namely, that of a first class sergeant. He was also the holder of a third class good conduct medal.\n\n2. Your Petitioner WONG FAT TAK, ex P.S. 158, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 21st August, 1875, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, at which time he held the rank of a second class sergeant. He was also the holder of a fourth class good conduct medal.\n\n3.

Your Petitioner O MI CHEUNG, ex P.S. 398, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st July, 1882, and served therein until the 15th July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first class sergeant in the Water Police.\n\n5. Your Petitioner UN HING, ex P.C. 177, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st October, 1883, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first class constable.\n\n6. Your Petitioner WONG KEUNG, ex P.C. 184, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 18th April 1870 and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first class constable.\n\n7.

        "content_text": "423 \n\n9.-With regard to the allegation that gambling had been carried on in the two lanes named in the last paragraph, your Petitioners (except O MI CHEUNG No. 4 in paragraph No. 1) who was in the Water Police and therefore had nothing to do with gambling, and WONG KEUNG (No. 6 in paragraph No. 1) who was employed on P. & O. Ships) were aware that within the period named gambling had been carried on, on and off, in various houses in the said lanes, but seldom in one for more than a few successive days at most, while it was often removed once or more a day. But your Petitioners can truthfully assert that within that three years, notwithstanding an order from Captain Superintendent MAY that they, as detectives, were not to trouble themselves about gambling, they have frequently reported the gambling to Inspectors, that the houses were often broken, and that your Petitioners generally assisted in raiding them. Your Petitioners have also often reported gambling houses and assisted in arresting gamblers in other parts of Hongkong, as the records of the Detective Office will show. Further, your Petitioners beg to point out that there always has been and, so far as they can learn, judging from the present indications, there always will be gambling in Hongkong.\n\n10.-Except the examinations, in gaol, of your Petitioners YEUNG FAT, TANG CHUNG, and O MI CHEUNG, by way of attempting to extort a false confession of guiltiness from them, as set out in schedules A, B, & C, hereto, none of your Petitioners were ever brought to any form of trial. If the Captain Superintendent had any evidence that either of your Petitioners was guilty of receiving bribes, he could not have shrunk from his duty of charging him with the offence, in a proper manner. But the Captain Superintendent, acting apparently on some vague, malicious information first obtained banishment orders against your Petitioners named in this paragraph, in order to use them as weapons with which to extort from those named in them incriminatory statements against their superior officers, and failing in that purpose the banishment was carried out. After the illegal treatment your Petitioners were subjected to, the Captain Superintendent necessarily banished them in his own defence and to avoid legal proceedings against himself. Your Petitioners submit that was the real ground of their banishment.\n\n11.-Your Petitioners respectfully submit that there was nothing in their conduct nor in any evidence brought against them to show that they had ever taken any part in promoting gambling while, if they had been granted a fair trial with liberty to call evidence, they could have proved that they had for many years taken a very active part in suppressing all kinds of gambling. Your Petitioners further submit that the reason nominally assigned for banishing them was at the time the order was made known to be a fictitious one, but the Captain Superintendent desired for his own purpose to keep your Petitioners out of Hongkong and as they were neither thieves nor persons dangerous to the peace and good order of that Colony, but men of excellent character, he made such representation to His Excellency the Governor as induced him in Council to issue orders for their banishment.\n\n12.-As stated in paragraph No. 1, your Petitioners named in that paragraph were entitled to police pensions, and of those, through their arbitrary banishment and dismissal, they have been unjustly deprived. All your Petitioners were for a long time residents in Hongkong and had their families and friends residing there. By their banishment they have been compelled to take their families out of that Colony, they have been severed from all their old associations in the Colony, and they have, after having spent the best years of their lives in the Police service of Hongkong, been obliged to leave there in the manner stated.\n\n13.-As your Petitioners feel convinced that you, Sir, would never knowingly acquiesce in, or sanction, such arbitrary injustice being done to any one, and especially not to those who, though aliens, have faithfully served in the public service of a British Colony, they most respectfully beg that you will order a proper inquiry to be made into their case and allow them to return to Hongkong to give evidence at it. But, if, Sir, you do not consider such an inquiry necessary, your Petitioners beg that you will order the cancelment of their dismissal and the withdrawal of their banishment orders, and be pleased to grant pensions to those who have earned them, and your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.\n\nThey are, Sir,\n\nYour most humble, obedient servants\n\n黄羗 (Wong Keung)  \n柯美彰 (O' Mi Cheung)  \n梁桂忠 (Leung Shing)  \n黄羗 (Wong Heung)  \n鄭義 (Ching Mau)  \n唐見 (Tong Kin)  \n楊發 (Young Fat)  \n梁林 (Leung Lam)  \n陶通 (To Tung)  \n廖勝 (Liu Shing)  \n吳有 (Ng You)  \n楊来 (Yeung Loi)  \n黄德 (Wong Tak)  \n关胜 (Kwan Shing)  \n王品德 (Wong Prin Tak)  \n梁沛忠 (Leung Hwai Chung)  \n黄福 (Wong Fuk)  \n胡兴 (Hu Hing)  \n温五 (Wan Ngo)  \n黄才 (Wong Chi)  \n李瑞 (Lai Isoi)",

Mounsey & Brutton, of Nos. 51, 53 & 55 Queen's Road Central, Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, by the Consular Court for the United States of America at Canton in the Empire of China and signed by H. R. Williams, U. S. Vice Consul in charge Acting Judicially and John Goodnow, Consul General\n\nand\n\n## IN THE MATTER of the Prosecution of Richard Toulmin for murder.\n\n1. On or about the 9th day of July 1898, I, George Kingston Hall Brutton, a member of the firm of Messrs. Mounsey & Brutton, Solicitors, of Nos. 51, 53 & 55 Queen's Road Central, Hongkong, was informed by Cheng Kam Chuen, a Chinese subject, that one Cheng Lei San, a Chinese subject and brother of the said Cheng Kam Chuen, had been shot and murdered on board the American Steamship \"Dosing,\" near Wuchau, in the province of Kwong Tung, in the Empire of China, in the Jurisdiction of the U. S. Consular Court at Canton aforesaid, by Richard Toulmin, the Captain of the said American Steamship \"Dosing,\" and I was instructed to go to Canton and ascertain from Edward Bedloe, the then Consul for the United States of America at Canton, whether the said Richard Toulmin was in custody pending the trial for murder.\n\n2. Accordingly, on or about the 12th day of July 1898, I went to Canton and saw the said Edward Bedloe at the U. S. Consulate there, and he informed me that the accused Richard Toulmin was in his custody, but that no charge had been preferred against him in writing, and that unless a formal complaint was filed in his Consulate within 3 days from the said 12th day of July 1898, the accused Richard Toulmin was entitled to be released from custody, for, as he said, the accused is entitled to see the charge preferred against him and in the absence of any charge in writing, he can demand his release.\n\n3. In consequence of this, I returned to Hongkong and after seeing the said Cheng Kam Chuen, he instructed me to prefer an information against the accused, the said Richard Toulmin, and on the 14th day of July 1898, an information was filed in the United States Consular Court at Canton by the said Cheng Kam Chuen in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\n### In the Consular Court of the United States of America at Canton in the Empire of China.\n\nI, Cheng Kam Chuen, of Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, a subject of the Emperor of China, do hereby charge Richard Toulmin that on the 7th day of July A.D. 1898, he, the said Richard Toulmin, feloniously, wilfully and of his malice aforethought, did kill and murder one Cheng Lei San.\n\nInterpreted to the said Cheng Kam Chuen\nin the Chinese language by T.

        "content_text": "4. On the 16th day of July 1898 I attended at the U.S. Consulate at Canton to know whether the U.S. Government had issued subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses on the hearing of the charge, and on being informed that no witnesses had been summoned, an application in writing was made to the said Edward Bedloe as U.S. Consul at Canton that subpoenas be issued to four witnesses to appear and give evidence on the hearing of the charge against the accused Richard Toulmin.\n\n5. At the time of making this application the said Edward Bedloe was absent in Hongkong, and the application was signed before T. C. Chung the Interpreter to and employed in the U.S. Consulate who informed me that no fees were payable on a criminal prosecution, all expenses being defrayed by the United States Government as it was their duty to prosecute.\n\n6. On the 21st day of July, 1898 the following paragraphs appeared in the issue of the Hongkong Daily Press for that day.\n\nThe \"Dosing\" Tragedy.\n\nThe accused committed for trial.\n\nSworn before me, Edward Bedloe, Consul of the United States at Canton on this 14th day of July 1898, Acting Judicially.\n\nThe prisoner heard the indictment, repeated his plea of not guilty, and said he desired time to prepare for his defence and trial.\n\nThe Consul fixed the first Tuesday in October as the day for the trial of Richard Toulmin, charged as above.\n\nThe prisoner was taken back to the British gaol and locked up.\n\n7. No notice was given to me or to my said firm or to the Chinese informant that any proceedings as in paragraph 6 hereof mentioned were to be held, and as these proceedings were held without such notice, it was evidently the intention of the United States Consul that the United States Government should prosecute.\n\n8. I heard nothing further of the matter until the 11th day of September 1898 when my firm received a notice in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\n**Consulate of the United States of America at Canton China**\n\nCanton 20th July.\n\nSeptember 17th, 1898.\n\nTo-day the accused Captain Richard Toulmin charged with shooting and killing the Chinese compradore, one Cheng Lei San on board the alleged American steamer \"Dosing\" of which he (Toulmin) was master while on the West River above Wuchow on the morning of the 7th inst. was brought before the American Consular Court for a further hearing.\n\nCaptain Toulmin was arrested at Wuchow and brought to Canton on Sunday the 10th instant, and lodged in the British Consular Gaol here to wait a hearing by the American Consul. The next day, Monday the 11th instant, Toulmin was brought before Consul Bedloe on a warrant issued by the Prefect of Wuchow. A telegram and also a despatch from Commissioner of Customs James Acheson at Wuchow, charging Captain Toulmin with the crime of killing the Compradore of the \"Dosing\" was read to the accused. The Consul cautioned him to be guarded in his statement, if he desired to make any, and with this admonition asked Toulmin if he was guilty or not guilty. The accused answered and said he was not guilty. The Consul committed him to Gaol for a further hearing on the 19th inst. and pursuant to that order the prisoner was brought to the American Consular Court to-day to be informed that the prosecution requested a postponement of the hearing for one week.\n\nThe prisoner said he wished to waive a further hearing and asked to have the time fixed for trial at a day distant sufficient to enable his friends to engage Counsel to prepare for his defence.\n\nThe request of the prisoner was granted but before committing him to gaol the Consul directed the Clerk to read the latest indictment of the prisoner in order that he might know who his accuser is and why he is restrained of his liberty. The indictment is by the brother of the deceased and reads as follows:\n\n**In the Consular Court of the United States of America at Canton China**\n\n\"I Cheng Kam Chuen of Victoria in the Colony of Hong Kong a subject of the Emperor of China do hereby charge Richard Toulmin that on the 7th day of July A.D. 1898 he the said Richard Toulmin feloniously wilfully and of his malice aforethought did kill and murder one Cheng Lei San,\n\n(Signed) C. KAM CHUEN.\n\nTo\n\nMessrs Mounsey & Brution,\n\nHongkong.\n\nWhereas Richard Toulmin, an American citizen, charged with wilful murder of Cheng Lei San, which case is set for trial at Canton on the 4th day of October 1898, has applied and petitioned in due form for a change of venue and filed his affidavit in support of his said application and petition in this Consular Court on this 17th day of September 1898.\n\nYou are hereby notified that at 10 o'clock a.m. on the 24th day of September at the United States Consular Court at Canton, will be a hearing of objections, if there be any, to the granting of his the said application and petition.\n\nIn witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and official Seal this 17th day of September 1898.\n\nL.S.\n\n(Sd.)\n\n**EDWARD BEDLOE**\n\nU.S. Consul, Acting Judicially.\n\n9. In accordance with this notice I appeared at the time and place mentioned and stated objections to the granting of the said application before U.S. Consul General J. Goodnow and Acting Vice Consul H. R. Williams Acting Judicially who at the conclusion of my address requested me to file my objections in Brief for consideration. The hearing of the case was then postponed till the 4th November 1898.\n\n10. After the Court rose mention was made by the Consul General of certain expenses which he said were payable for the attendance of witnesses for the prosecution at the trial and I stated that an application was filed in the Court on the 16th July, 1898 for the issue of subpoenas to certain witnesses, a man by name Randall among them, and that this Randall had been allowed to pass through Canton about a fortnight or three weeks after the filing of the application and no steps had been taken.",

        "content_text": "83 \n\ntaken by Consul Bedloe to serve the subpoena on him and that he had gone to Manila and I considered that the U.S. Government should witness as well as of the others and I stated that if the Chinese were expected to pay the expenses of these expenses I should surrender the matter into the hands of the U.S. Government, to this Consul General Goodnow replied laughing \"in that case the Government would have to pay\" and I replied \"well, that is what I shall do if the Chinese are expected to pay.\"\n\nNothing further was said as to the payment of these expenses then.\n\n11. On my return from Canton I informed Cheng Kam Chuen of what had passed and I was instructed to resist the payment of these expenses and if the payment was insisted on was to furnish the U.S. Consul General with the names of the witnesses and leave the prosecution in his hands and take no further part in the prosecution.\n\n12. On the 28th day of October 1898 my firm received a notice dated the 27th day of October 1898 in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\nTo  \n**Consulate of the United States of America**  \nMessrs. Mounsey & Brutton,  \nHongkong.\n\nCanton October, 27th 1898.\n\nWhereas the cause of Richard Toulmin charged with wilful murder of one Cheng Lei San a subject of the Emperor of China was set down for trial at this Consular Court Canton on the 4th day of October A.D. 1898 when the Defendant filed a petition at this Consular Court in which he prays for a change of venue for a trial of his cause at Shanghai and upon hearing the objections filed in Brief by the Attorney for Prosecution on September 24th I have denied the motion for a change of venue.\n\nYou are hereby notified that the cause is further postponed till December 8th A.D. 1898 at 10 o'clock a.m, when the trial of the same will be held at the United States Consular Court Canton instead of November 4th as previously fixed.\n\nIn Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 27th day of October A.D. 1898.\n\nL.S.  \n(Sd.)  \nH. R. WILLIAMS,  \nU.S. Vice & Acting Consul in charge. Acting Judicially.\n\n13. Subsequently to the receipt of this notice I saw H. R. Williams the U.S. Vice and Acting Consul in charge Acting Judicially and asked him who was to prosecute in the case and he informed me that I was and I naturally presumed that I was prosecuting on behalf of the U.S. Government.\n\n14. On the 1st day of December 1898, I was informed that no subpoena had been issued to Benjamin C. Randall who was one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution and on the 2nd day of December I wrote a letter to H. R. Williams Esq. requesting him to issue a subpoena for the attendance of this witness.\n\n4\n\n15. On the 8th day of December 1898 I appeared at the U.S. Consulate at Canton on the trial of the said Richard Toulmin and no mention was made by the U.S. Consul General J. Goodnow or the Vice Consul H. R. Williams of the payment of the witnesses' expenses.\n\n16. On the evening of Friday, the 9th December, after I had closed the case for the prosecution and the Court had been adjourned I was asked by H. R. Williams Esq. whether I was going to pay the expenses of the witnesses, to which I replied \"No, not unless I am obliged to,\" and he then said \"Oh, if that is all you want I will soon make an order,\" to this I objected and said that I could not pay as my client had no means and that the question should be argued out in Court.\n\n17. On Saturday the 10th December during the mid-day adjournment, John Goodnow the Consul General asked me if I was going to pay the witnesses' expenses, to which I replied, No that I should like to argue the matter out in Court. The Consul General said it was no case for argument, as the Chinese had to pay. I told him that the Chinese informant Cheng Kam Chuen had no money and could not pay, to this he replied that if he did not pay I should have to do so out of my fees, I said I could not do that and he then said, \"Well if you do not it is a question whether I shall hear you any further in the case and also whether I shall not cancel all the proceedings.\"\n\n18. After a short adjournment in the afternoon and before the Court again sat the Consul General called me up to his bench and privately asked me if I desired to cross-examine the accused who had elected to give evidence and who had then practically finished his evidence. I said I did and he then said \"Are you going to pay the fees, if not it is a question whether I shall hear you further in the case?\" To this I made no reply, I then went back to my seat.\n\n19. After a few more questions had been asked the accused by his Counsel the following took place.\n\nMr. Goodnow asked- Mr. Brutton as Attorney for the prosecutor do you wish to ask this witness any questions?\n\nMr. Brutton-As Attorney for the prosecution who has been conducting the case for the prosecution up till now I wish to cross-examine this witness. I should like to ask one or two questions with regard to the question of costs.\n\nMr. Goodnow-That does not come up just now.\n\nMr. Brutton said that as Attorney for the prosecution he did not undertake any liability with regard to the expenses of the witnesses.\n\nMr. Goodnow--Mr. Brutton, I can tell you plainly I am not going to put you out of this trial at this stage, but until this matter is settled you will not be allowed to conduct any other cases in American Consular Courts in China.\n\nMr. Brutton-Your honour has not power except in this Court unless you can show that my conduct has been unbecoming a Solicitor.\n\n20. On Monday, the 12th day of December, after the case was closed the Consul General made a few remarks on the law with regard to murder and continued as follows:-\n\n...before...\n\nThere was one other matter he and Mr. Williams wished to bring up they adjourned and that was in regard to the incident which happened there on Saturday he thought it was, Under Rule 71 of the Regulations of Consular Courts any complainant informant or prosecutor might be required to give security \n\n5",

        "content_text": "for all costs of the prosecution including those of the accused and every complainant and so forth not a citizen of the United States should be so required unless in the Consul's opinion justice would be better promoted otherwise, and if such security was refused the prosecution should abate.\n\nIn this particular case it was the duty of the United States to prosecute the man accused of this shooting. One Cheng Kam Chuen, the brother of the deceased, chose to come into that Court as an informant and prosecutor. He came into that Court, represented by Messrs. Mounsey and Brutton. He could state of his own knowledge that when he was there in September, he himself told Mr. Brutton he would have to look out for his witnesses' fees, and no objection was made to it. The only question was as to whether they would bring Mr. Randall across from Manila or not, and he said that under agreement with the counsel, his depositions could be taken there and expenses saved. Mr. Williams told him, subsequent to the time he notified Mr. Brutton as to these witnesses' fees, that Mr. Brutton told him if he said he must do it, it should be done.\n\nMr. Williams - Is that a fact, Mr. Brutton?\n\nMr. Goodnow, continuing, said there had been no objection on the part of the prosecutor to this until Friday, or Saturday. He himself spoke to Mr. Brutton on the matter on Saturday, at noon. It had been the practice in the United States Courts in China that where a plaintiff or a complainant was represented by a reputable firm of Attorneys, they had not required them to pay up in cash the costs beforehand, but there never had been a case in his own knowledge before this where such Attorney had, after the trial had begun and after having had due notice long before, that he was expected to do this, refused to pay. It was the order of the Court that the complainant should pay the costs of the trial, unless the defendant has sufficient to pay his own witnesses' fees, and it was the order of the Court that unless the Counsel for the prosecutor paid into that Court or satisfied that Court that the witnesses for the prosecution and other costs were paid, a copy of that order should be sent to the British Consul and that the Viceroy be notified of such failure on the part of the prosecutor and his Counsel to pay these fees and should be asked to force such payment. It was the order of the Court that until the expenses were paid, Messrs. Mounsey and Brutton should not act in any United States Courts in China.\n\n21. After the Consul-General had finished, I attempted to say a few words and to correct some mis-statements, but the Consul-General refused to hear me.\n\n22. Accordingly, I saw Mr. R. W. Mansfield, H. B. M. Consul at Canton, with reference to the order made in the U. S. Consular Court, and he informed me that H. R. Williams, the Vice-Consul, had given him an undertaking in writing on behalf of the U. S. Government to pay the reasonable expenses of witnesses subpoenaed through H. B. M. Consul at Canton to give evidence in the case. All the subpoenas issued to witnesses by the U. S. Consul were intituled, \"In the cause of the United States against Richard Toulmin,\" and the Consul-General at Hongkong wrote a letter to B. C. Randall, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, informing him that his reasonable expenses would be paid by the U. S. Government.\n\n23. The indictment or information on which the accused was tried was also intituled \"In the cause of the United States against Richard Toulmin.\" This information was drawn up by the U. S. Consul or on his behalf and was not the information filed by Cheng Kam Chuen on the 14th day of July, 1898, which was drawn up by me.\n\n24. Shortly after my return from Canton on the 13th day of December, my firm received an order signed by H. R. Williams, U. S. Vice Consul in charge, Acting Judicially, and John Goodnow, Consul General U. S. A., dated the 12th December, 1898, in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\n## United States Consular Court\n## Canton, China\n\nIt is the order of the Court that, under rule 71 of the Regulations of the Consular Courts for the United States of America in China, it having been shown to the satisfaction of this Court that the Defendant is without means, the costs of this trial shall be paid by the Prosecutor, who intervened in this case on his own motion. It was both by the Consul and the Consul General formally stated to Mr. Brutton of Mounsey and Brutton that their client, Cheng Kam Chuen, the Prosecutor, would be liable for said costs. Under the ordinary practice of Consular Courts in China, the attorneys, although of another nationality, considering themselves in honor bound as de facto Officers of the Court, have obeyed the orders of the Courts and have provided that costs against their clients should be paid. Therefore, as Mounsey and Brutton, in open Court, after this trial has proceeded more than two days, then for the first time refused to provide that such costs be paid, the Court of the U. S. Consulate at Canton has ordered, and the U. S. Consul General has also ordered, that a copy of this order be sent to the British Consul at Canton and H. E. Tan, Viceroy of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si, with a request that their respective nationals be ordered to comply with the order of this Court, and that Mounsey and Brutton shall not practice before any American Consular Court in China until this order be complied with.\n\nTrue copy, dated 12th Dec. /98.\n\n(sd.) ANTO. DE SILVA, Clerk of the Court.\n\n(sd.) H. R. WILLIAMS, JR. U. S. Vice Consul in charge, Acting Judicially.\n\n(sd.) JOHN GOODNOW, Consul General U. S. A.\n\n25. In connection with this order, it will be noticed that the following words are used: \"the costs of this trial shall be paid by the Prosecutor, who intervened in this case on his own motion.\" The statement that the Prosecutor intervened on his own motion is incorrect. For, from paragraph 2 in this statement, it will be seen in what way and the reason why Cheng Kam Chuen filed the information against the accused, namely, that there was a probability of the accused being released if no charge in writing was preferred against him, and in order to get justice done, it was incumbent that a charge in writing should be filed in the United States Consulate. In the order, the following words also occur: \"both by the Consul and the Consul General formally stated to Mr. Brutton that their client, Cheng Kam Chuen, the Prosecutor, would be liable for said costs,\" i.e., the costs of the trial. This is a mis-statement. No costs were mentioned at any time, either before or during the hearing of the case, only the expenses for the attendance of the witnesses for the prosecution, not the costs of the trial. From paragraph 10 hereof, it will be noticed that I told the Consul General that if the Chinese were expected to pay the expenses of the witnesses, the case would be surrendered into the hands of the United States Government. These words also occur: \"Then for the first time refused to provide that such costs be paid.\" This is also incorrect, as will be seen from paragraph 10 hereof and the last paragraph hereinbefore written.\n\n26. It is from the order in paragraph 24 set out that I and my firm desire to be released, and it is submitted that no power is given by the Regulations for the Consular Courts of the United States of America in China to make such order, and therefore the order set out above is illegal and should be over-ruled.\n\nPage 6\nPage 7\n84",

However, the output should be in HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n## Step 4: Analyze the given text\nThe text is a jumbled mix of characters, place names, and what appears to be a guide or map information. It includes English and Chinese text, with some words and characters that are not clearly legible or are mixed up due to OCR errors.\n\n## Step 5: Determine the output format\nDespite the instruction to output in HTML, the initial steps and rules suggest a Markdown formatting approach. However, the final output must be in HTML.\n\n## Step 6: Begin proofreading\nGiven the complexity and the mixed nature of the text, the first step involves identifying and correcting obvious OCR errors, such as misspelled words, incorrect spacing, and broken characters.\n\n## Step 7: Reorganize the text\nThe text seems to be a collection of place names, geographical features, and possibly touristic information. Reorganizing it into a coherent structure while maintaining the original content is essential.\n\n## Step 8: Correct specific errors and format\nCorrecting \"San-on-in\" to \"San-on-in\" (no change needed), \"Pakshel\" to \"Pak Shel\", \"Tho-tsun\" to \"Tho-tsun\" (no change), and other similar corrections. Also, reformatting tables and lists, and ensuring that file references are correctly formatted without spaces.\n\n## Step 9: Address the specific requirements for output\nSince the output needs to be in HTML and the input is a complex mix of text, the focus should be on preserving the original information while correcting errors and improving readability.\n\n## Step 10: Realize the complexity of direct conversion\nDirectly converting the given text into a coherent HTML format while correcting OCR errors and following the specific rules provided is highly complex due to the text's nature and the mix of languages.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nSan-on-in \n\nPakshel \n\n'Tho-tsun \n\nyung \n\nCheung-ha \n\nKen-diau \n\n+++ Ma-Eck-we \n\n*** \n\nTaishan 1. \n\nTun-tan O \n\nAcung· \n\nChili wan \n\n...\n\nathaches were \n\n25 ft \n\ndelivered nu \n\ntobili \n\nA \n\nItalim now being \n\n& perpred \n\nItation \n\n47 \n\nbuilt \n\nhow the \n\nMing Couchuulid \n\nAAA \n\nhivshad \n\nWan ha \n\n# \n\n22ft \n\nisft \n\n+ \n\nSai-he \n\ndeung-chi hok \n\nMud banks \n\njuf't \n\nBluck rink \n\nDEEP \n\nBAY \n\nSha-ho \n\nShut-mi \n\nSan-tau \n\nOyster \n\nbeds \n\nKong ho \n\nWony-Bang \n\nShek-ha \n\nShui Woi \n\nMud \n\nM u d \n\n banks \n\nNgai hem \n\n-the Lad \n\nSan Wai \n\nTai-slati \n\nNam-vita \n\nis not \n\nPale-long \n\nTuk \n\nTang-ku 1. \n\ndang \n\nShiu-chau \n\nLang \n\nNot wai \n\nba \n\n\" \n\n$ \n\nLong-Ising \n\nf \n\nM \n\nShap-pal hening \n\nTaising \n\nHa-mi \n\nWang-chan \n\nShe \n\n6/ \n\nHa-Tu \n\nSa's Kha \n\nTang-shan... \n\n** Chrung uk-tuz \n\n• Piany shan+a \n\nGrewing po \n\nKak \n\nIn \n\nPaddy \n\n1 d \n\nVin-long-hi \n\nPak-ut. \n\nCheung-ah-chann \n\n0 \n\nYou-tin \n\nTi-same \n\nLo-ún \n\nShan Tung wi \n\nCL \n\n@Sui-hang O \n\nTing du wei \n\n*Tong-x-uni \n\nSt-Lin \n\n2000 \n\nThe TOURISTS GUIDE \n\nwith \n\nto HONG \n\nKONG \n\nSHORT TRIPS to the MAINLAND of CHINA \n\nREFERENCES \n\nPROGRAMMES \n\n℗ Mandarin Station & Village.

The leaders are Cheung Chi Lau, his nephew Cheung Chi Tap, and a man surnamed Choi, all of whom are bullies of the said village.

        "content_text": "785\n\nIt is said that Jr. Lockhart had taken his photograph. Now at the failure of forming the society, he is willing to give information to arrest the rebel Chung. The Chinese officials agreed to forgive him his offence.\n\n5. The reason why the headman Chung Shui Gung put up the flag, was to solicit money from the rich families and extort the villages. The formation of the society was a method of future blackmail. He had, by means of sending a demanding letter, demanded a sum of $20,000 from the Ping Shan village. He had also, by the same means, demanded a sum of $3,000 from the Tai Chung village. Both of these places disobeyed and refused to pay. As many as Shum Chun, Chung Chi Lung and others had followed his example. Each man solicited by them to join the society was to pay $2. They had looted the shops of the San Tin and Lok Ma Chau villages, and the ransom demanded from each shop ranged from $5 to $10. Punishment was meted out to shops which had not paid the ransom. The money collected was distributed among them. On hearing of the arrival of the soldiers, they immediately dispersed.\n\n4. The reason for putting up the flag by the headmen Chung and Cheung, was not due to the possession of territory by England. The evidence proved that the people of the shops in the markets and towns were very much displeased with the villagers, especially those of Kam Tin village. Owing to the fact that though the owners of the property in the neighbourhood of Kam Tin village hold deeds, they have to pay taxes to the said village. If England got the place, it is probable that the benefit will be deprived. The shops and houses of the Lok Ma Chau village have also got to pay their taxes every year. It is like the way Government charges taxes.\n\n5. The weapons and rifles of the rebels were not many. Some were smuggled from Sha Kok Tsui, Kowloon, and others were swords and the like which were made by the native blacksmiths on commission, or muskets made by foreign countries.\n\n6. In the 11th and the 12th moons last year, Tang Ying Shang, Ng Shui Shang and Tong Kun had been there with a view of purchasing lands. They had bought land in the 5th and 6th moons and in the beginning of the 7th moon this year. It was found out now that most of the purchased lands were in Tai Po market, and some were also bought in the foot of Ching Shan (Green Hill) and in the neighbourhood of Kap Shum Tau and Cheung Sha Wan.\n\nPage 786\n\n \n\n was removed as it is not in the original text, instead Page 786\n\n is added to follow rule 11.

        "content_text": "Canton, 24th July, 1890\n\nSUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.\n\nA timber dealer in Sin Tong, Namhoi district, was forced to pay $10,000.\n\nCheong Hop of Sui Taug, Shun Tak district, timber merchant, had his cargo seized on the way to Lo Chun by robbers; $400 had to be paid for the release of same.\n\nTwo (2) girls in a house boat in Heung Kau, Shun Tak district, were abducted and held for ransom.\n\nAt Lok Cheng, Shun Tak district, $4,000 were demanded from all the pork dealers. The money not forthcoming, three boats, laden with pigs valued at $200 to $300 each were seized.\n\nFour houses at Loong Kong were surrounded by robbers and clothing and jewellery, &c., carried away.\n\nAt Kwong Wah, Shun Tak district, an eating house was robbed of $600.\n\nA boat from Loong Kong to Sui Lam, nearing Locklow, was held up by pirates and $1,200 stolen.\n\nAnother boat, plying from Canton to Kong Moon, was stopped by pirates and threatened to be seized unless the captain paid $400 on his next trip.\n\nAt Loong Kong, Shun Tak district, a rich family was robbed to the extent of $2,000.\n\nA steam launch from Macao to Wuchow was held by pirates, valuable cargo stolen, and the purser shot.\n\nA steam launch from Canton to Whampoa was likewise stopped by pirates and $1,000 stolen. Quan Hing, a silk merchant, sending money to Loong Kong to buy silk, was robbed on the way to the extent of $1,000.\n\nHongkong, 10th August, 1899.\n\nR. M. Gray, Esq., Chairman,\n\nHongkong Chamber of Commerce,\n\nDear Sir,-A practical instance of the interruption to trade caused by piracy on the rivers of the Kwangtung province was brought before us this morning when a leading dealer refused to entertain business in produce on the ground that there was no security for transport. The business would, in ordinary circumstances, we believe, have gone through.\n\nOn questioning the dealer, he alleged that repeated cases of junks held up for payments had recently occurred, causing serious apprehension, that under the circumstances he preferred not to come under engagement. We are, dear sir, yours faithfully,\n\nBRADLEY & Co.\n\nHongkong General Chamber of Commerce. Hongkong, 14th August, 1899,\n\nDear Sirs-I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 10th inst. giving a very practical instance of the interruption to business caused by piracy now prevailing in the provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi, which I laid before the Committee. The subject is now receiving attention at the hands of the Committee, who trust their representations will not prove without effect.-I am, dear sirs, yours faithfully,\n\nR. M. GRAY,\n\nChairman,\n\nTo Messrs. Bradley and Co., Hongkong.\n\nHongkong General Chamber of Commerce. Hongkong, 11th August, 1899.\n\nSir-By the courtesy of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., we sent yesterday, through the medium of Mr. W. Keswick, M.P., the following telegram to you:--\n\n\"Kwang provinces very unsettled. No reliance can be placed in the Viceroy of Canton. Piracy interferes seriously with trade. We urge upon you the necessity of more gunboats to protect our interests West River.\"\n\nI now beg to confirm the above, and in doing so will endeavour to give some particulars of the condition of affairs in the provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi, through which the West River and its numerous feeders flow.\n\nFor some time past, owing to the weakness and corruption of the Administration, the rich producing districts in these provinces have been terrorised by bands of robbers, who, encouraged by impunity and enriched by plunder, have armed themselves, acquired junks and even steam-launches, by the aid of which they have \"held up\" whole villages and towns and pirated vessels on the rivers. These outrages have increased latterly to such an extent that within the last month no less than nineteen daring robberies and piracies, many of them attended with bloodshed, have been committed within the silk producing districts alone, and those are only cases that have been brought to our notice; the actual condition of affairs being in reality far worse than this statement might be supposed to indicate.\n\nThe pirates are growing so bold that they are only deterred by the greater risk from attacking foreign as well as native steamers. Indeed, only as recently as the 20th ult. on the West River a steam-launch flying the Portuguese flag was overhauled and boarded by a piratical launch, the Portuguese in charge and a native seaman shot down, and the vessel looted. Since then another steamer has been stopped and the cargo removed by the pirates.\n\nThe feeble attempts of the Canton Government to cope with the banditti and pirates, who are now in a position to blackmail the industrious portion of the population, have been worse than useless. The marauders are well armed with rifles and revolvers, have their strongholds in the hills, and have so far successfully defied any force of so-called soldiers the Viceroy may, under pressure, have despatched to attempt their suppression.\n\nTrade has for some months been greatly hampered by the feeling of insecurity induced through the frequent robberies and the extortion practised by the heads of the gangs, but lately the position has become much more serious. The Silk trade is completely disorganised in consequence thereof. The merchants in Canton who have made contracts to deliver silk to foreign firms there, have given formal notice that they are afraid they may be unable to fulfil their engagements owing to the danger attending the transport of silk and treasure. The silk filatures and cocoon shops in the silk districts have been threatened and plundered, and unless order is soon restored it is to be feared that trade will be reduced to small limits. The foreign steamboats engaged in the river trade now only get light cargoes and even the passenger traffic is much restricted.\n\nThe appearance of one small British gunboat (the Sandpiper) on the West River has been hailed with considerable satisfaction and her presence is much appreciated by merchants and traders, but this great waterway is lengthy and the pirates are so numerous that the moral effect is necessarily restricted, and a small flotilla of these useful and serviceable craft is desirable if the West River is to be efficiently patrolled, while light draught steam-launches might be usefully employed for work in the creeks. It is useless to look for any effective action from the present Viceroy, and as his influence at Peking is understood to be considerable, it is to be feared that any reference to the Tsungli Yamen would at best result in some temporary measures of doubtful utility. In the increase of the British patrolling squadron only can we hope for any permanent improvement in the present state of disorder. A precedent exists for this intervention, as in former years Her Majesty's warships undertook...\n\nPage 22",

Admiral Seymour shares my opinion that there ought to be more gun-boats of the Woodcock & Snipe class on the river, & that he should be authorized to obtain, by hire or purchase, more steamers.\n\nLi Hung Chang professed anxiety to work harmoniously with Hong Kong on all points to be settled locally with me, without referring to the Jamên. He did not see any objection to my proposal that all ports opened on the river should be for river steamers for passenger traffic only. He will consider the suggestion when he takes over his duties at Canton. He wished me not to pay a return visit.",

Yang Hsiang Pu said:\n\nI am a native of Tan Ton village in the district of Nam Hoi. My age is 45 years. My father is dead; my mother's maiden name was Chan. I have no brothers. I am married, my wife's family name being Feng, and we have sons and daughters. I was formerly a student of medicine in the establishment of one Chia, called the Po Chi Medical Hall. Afterwards, I opened a doctor's establishment in the Hua Wang Street outside the West Gate of Hsiang Shan District City, and am now practising as a Doctor in Canton outside the South Gate in the Ma Ton Chih Chieh. I have been acquainted with Yang Chu Yun, Sien Yu Cheng, Shih Ching Ju, Si Chi Tang, Chen Kuei Shih, Wing Tuo Fu, Teng Jui Nan.\n\nIn the 7th moon, date not remembered, but some time after the 10th day (4th August), I, having business, went to Hongkong and met Yang Chu Yun at the Office of the \"Chinese Daily Press\", in which paper Chen Kuei Chih had a share. Chen Kuei Shih and Shih Ching Ju were with us at table, and they put heads together and talked secrets. I asked Sien Yu Cheng about it, and Yang Chu Yun, hearing this, forthwith told Shih Ching Ju, and they all said that I too was a man who could join in with them, that there was no need of reticence, and that they could tell me all. They invited me to sit with them, and they said that this present time of disorder in the North furnished just the opportunity to effect the assassination of all the Officials of Kwang Tung Province and loot all the Treasuries, and the houses of the rich in Canton, thus at once acquiring wealth. I was smitten with fear and dared not consent with them. Then the party broke up.\n\nI at once returned to Canton, and it was not till the middle decade of the 8th moon (September 4–13), exact day not remembered, that Shih Ching Ju arrived back from Macao and came to my Medical Hall, and said that Yang Chu Yun had the day before come to his place at Macao and said that he was determined to carry out the aforesaid plot of assassination and that he had already a scheme in which he wanted me to take a hand. He specially told Shih Ching Ju to come and ask me to go along to Hongkong.\n\nThe following day, I reached Hongkong. While we were in the Office of the \"Chinese Daily Press\", Yang Chu Yun came back from No. 11 in the Chish Tze Street, a house rented for residence by a Japanese, to the Office where I saw him. There were a good many people about the place, and we signed to each other not to speak of the secret plot.\n\nSubsequently, Yang Chu Yun took the party to the third and highest story of the Newspaper premises and discussed secretly with me, Shih Ching Ju, and the others, saying that the killing of the Officials was really a difficult matter to find men to accomplish. Further, the Officials in Canton being numerous, it was impossible to take action against them all at one time; a very good plan would be to conceal dynamite and effect a number...\n\nPage 232\n\n...\n\n...",

I am 44 years of age. I was employed there as a coolie and also as a police informer. I first entered the service of Ng Lo Sam at the taking over of the New Territory. I went with him the day that there was fighting at Tai Po. In the 8th moon I was employed by Ng Lo Sam to trace out refugee rebels here in Hong Kong. On the 19th of the Intercalary 8th moon a party of officials came down from Canton to consult about the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. Ng Lo Sam first spoke to me about killing Yeung Kui Wan on the 12th day of the Intercalary 8th moon. It was at his house in Wo Fung Street. No one else was present. He said \"Yeung Kui Wan cannot be fetched to Canton. Can you find a man to murder him?\". I said I could not find a man. He said \"All right, I will go up with you to Canton and I will get Ma Wong Hoi's party\". On the 13th we went up. He went by Hoi Tong and I by the Po On. He took me with him as he wanted me to take part in it. He wanted me to pilot the party in Hong Kong. On the 19th we came back by the night boat and arrived here on the morning of the 20th day. About the 28th of the 9th moon Ma Wong Hoi, Ma Wong On, Chan Yu, Wong Ting San, Chan Sing and two others came down to Hong Kong. The whole of Ma Wong Hoi's party went to the Yan On boarding house. I went to Sai Wo Lane where I lived at the time. On different occasions at Ng Lo Sam's house, at the Ching Wa Shu She club we discussed the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. Ng Lo Sam was present. I have heard Ng Lo Sam say \"If I cannot truck him to Canton there is a newspaper office which he frequents - the Chung Kwok Po. Get someone to follow him and shoot him either in his way from his house to the newspaper office or at the newspaper office or at his own house\".

Yeung Kui Wan said he would see about it. Then Tung Cheung came back to Ng Lo Sam's house where we all were together with Ng Lo Sam. He said \"There is no need for any of you to go with me, I can go by myself and do it myself\". Ng Lo Sam then upbraided me and said \"There's a smart man, he is able to do it and you can't\". It was then arranged to do it the following day. Ng Lo Sam said he would leave the hour of doing it to us.\n\nOn the 20th after evening rice, the three I have named and myself went and had a smoke of opium at the Wan Heung Kok in West Point.

A little after 7, I was in Gage street at the junction with Aberdeen street at the corner of the house where Yeung Kui Wan lived. Just as we got there, I heard the report of firearms in Yeung Kui Wan's house. I heard 3 or 4 shots very quick one after another. There was nobody about. Then I saw Tung Ching, Lam Tsai, and Tsui Fuk running out of the lane at the back of the house where Yeung Kui Wan lived.\n\nThen we all went down to the praya. They had hired a boat before they went to the murder. The three I have named went away in the boat. I believe they sailed to Macao. I got into a small boat and went to Cheung Chau and from thence to Tai O. The other 6 went back next morning by the Canton boat to Canton. I have not seen Ng Lo Sam since. I got $50 at the Lung Mo temple in Canton. That was on the 17th day of the 11th moon. I went to Li Ka Cheuk afterwards. That was on the 18th of the 12th moon, and asked for my share of the reward.

        "content_text": "later, you took your seat at the Legislative Council of the Colony, and in 1891 at the Executive Council. In 1894 you filled the office of Acting Colonial Secretary, and in the succeeding year took up the position of Colonial Secretary and Registrar-General, since which period you have discharged the duties of the high office which you are now relinquishing. Further, in the year 1898, you were appointed Special Commissioner to report on the extension of the Colony's boundaries, and in 1899 Representative of Great Britain for the delimitation of those boundaries. For the way in which you carried out these important functions you, upon each occasion, received the thanks of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State. On numerous Committees, dealing with matters of interest and moment to the Colony, you have served as Chairman or Secretary, and your national love of sports, especially in connection with the Victoria Rowing Club and the Hongkong Football Club, is too well known to call for more than a passing word. You are leaving us now to assume the Commissionership of Weihaiwei, the eastern advance-post of Great Britain, and we look forward with confidence to your future, in the hope and belief that there lies before you a distinguished career in positions of still greater importance than those you have been already called upon to occupy.\n\nWith regard to the various questions which had to be dealt with, from time to time, in the Legislative Council, you not only displayed both ability and tact, but you showed an unfailing courtesy to those whose opinions differed from your own. Your knowledge of the Chinese language, and the pains you have taken to make yourself intimately acquainted with the feelings and customs of the Chinese people, have greatly facilitated the harmonious official intercourse which has existed between the Government and that numerous and important section of the community. In bidding you farewell, we have desired to limit the signatories to this momento to those whose lives have been cast in the same Civil Service as your own and to the Unofficial Members of Council who have had special opportunities of appreciating your arduous work,\n\nHon. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART—Mr. Goodman and gentlemen, It is exceedingly difficult for me, I can assure you, to respond in any way adequately to the very kind words that you, Mr. Goodman, have used with regard to me and to the very kind wishes which are expressed in the address which you have just been good enough to read. No one, sir, can be more sensible of my own shortcomings than I am myself. It makes one sad, in looking back over the number of years I have resided in this Colony, to think what a number of opportunities one has lost and of the many things one has neglected that one might have done; but it is cheering, although one feels one's shortcomings so keenly—it is cheering to find one's friends rally round one on the eve of one's departure and wish him all the good wishes that you have wished towards me.\" (Applause.) I need hardly say that my regret at leaving Hongkong is very keen indeed; but the bitterness of parting is to a great extent mollified by the recollection that though I am leaving Hongkong I am leaving behind me in Hongkong loyal and trusted friends who during many years have shown me innumerable kindnesses which I shall never forget and here today is another illustration of their kindness, in meeting me and presenting me with this address and their good wishes. The members of Council and my fellow Civil Servants have all one object in view, and that object is the prosperity of the Colony. (Hear, hear.) Differences of opinion may arise at various times as to how that prosperity is to be best advanced, but our object is always the same; and so long as the members of Council and the Civil Servants co-operate heartily together there is no doubt that the prosperity of this Colony, already so great, will become greater still. (Applause.)\n\nTo the members of the Civil Service I can only say I am proud indeed to have been a member of this Service for so many years. If every Colony possesses a Civil Service like Hongkong I think they are indeed to be envied, and nothing do I more regret than having to leave behind me my colleagues in the Civil Service, who always most heartily and loyally co-operated with me when I was a junior and when I became head of a Department latterly, being promoted to the office of Colonial Secretary, and I am glad to take this opportunity to thank them all individually for their kindness to me during the whole of my period of service in Hongkong. Mr. Goodman has referred to \"good fish in the sea\" and the difficulty of landing really good fish. But I think in Mr. May, who is to be my successor, a very excellent fish has been landed. (Applause.) Mr. May is a very old friend of my own. I have known him during almost the whole of my service in Hongkong, and he is also well known to the community of Hongkong; and therefore it does not require any words from me to commend him to this Colony. I feel perfectly certain he will make an excellent Colonial Secretary and aid and promote every good work that has for its object the promotion of the welfare of Hongkong. You have referred, sir, to my departure for Weihaiwei. Weihaiwei is more or less at present an unknown country. I only trust that under the aegis of the British flag it will be made to prosper. I can promise you I shall do my best to make it prosper, and when the day arrives—if it ever does arrive—when it has to have a Civil Service of its own, I trust it will be as fortunate in that respect as Hongkong is today. (Applause.) I feel it is impossible for me to thank you sufficiently for all you have said to-day and all you have done in the past. All I can say, gentlemen, is I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Applause.) The proceedings were brought to a close with three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Lockhart, proposed by the Hon. Murray Rumsey.\n\nBANQUET IN THE CITY HALL. In the evening the Chinese community entertained Mr. Lockhart to a banquet in the City Hall. Nearly a hundred Chinese gentlemen were present, and amongst those sitting at Mr. Lockhart's table were the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. A. M. Thomson, Hon. A. W. Brewin, and Messrs. Tao, Lau Chupak, C. Clementi, R. F. Johnston, Ho Tung, Fung Wa Chun, Ho Fook, B. Hancock, Wei On, and Mok Man Cheng. The band of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers had been engaged for the occasion, and discoursed at intervals throughout the evening under the conductorship of Bandmaster Moir, who at a later stage in the proceedings was thanked by Dr. Ho Kai for his services.\n\nThe company having honoured the usual loyal toasts, Dr. Ho Kai called upon Mr. Fung Wa Chun, in the unavoidable absence of the Hon. Wei A Yuk, to propose the toast of the evening, that of their guest, Mr. Lockhart.\n\nMr. FUNG WA CHUN said, Mr. Chairman, with much pleasure I rise to propose the toast of the evening, namely, the health of our distinguished guest, the Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart. For nearly 20 years I have known Mr. Lockhart, and during that time I have had many opportunities of studying him, both as an official and as a private individual. The conclusion I have arrived at after these long years is that he is an able official, a worthy man, and a sincere friend. The public services he has rendered to this Colony are well known to you.",

        "content_text": "## \n\nHis Majesty the Emperor of China having sanctioned the Agreement between his Excellency the Liang Kuang Viceroy and the Franco-Chinese Syndicate for the furtherance of trade in Kuang-tung and Kuang-hsi and Hainan, the following are the Regulations with respect thereto:---\n\n1. The Viceroy of the Liang Kuang permits the Syndicate to construct a railway from Hoihow via Kiungchow to Pai Shan; and also grants to the Syndicate a monopoly of electric lighting at those places.\n\n2. The Company is established in Kuang Tung, and the Agreement is in two parts, identic, one to be kept in the Viceroy's Yamên, the other in that of the French Consul.\n\n3. Work must be commenced within a year from the date on which sanction for the railway is granted. The gauge is to be 1 French ch'ih (1 metre).\n\n4. The usufruct of the railway will be in the hands of the Company for a limited period, namely, six years.\n\n5. At the end of the six years' limit the whole of the usufruct of the line will revert to the Liang Kuang Viceroy, who will then be under obligation to purchase all the movable property of the line, as the rolling-stock; as well as all stores of coal, &c., and machinery in the workshops, at a price to be fixed by the fair calculation of appointed middlemen acquainted with such matters. If the quantity of coal, &c., stored be excessive, it need not all be purchased, but only sufficient for a six months' supply.\n\n6. At any time under fifteen years the Viceroy will be at liberty to purchase the railway and the Electric Light Works at a price calculated by taking the average annual profit of the last five years increased by 20 per cent., as representing interest at 3 per cent. on the purchase price.\n\n7. Tariffs can be drawn up later.\n\n8. The profits of the Company will pay a royalty of 5 per cent. to the Liang Kuang Viceroy. For the last year of the Company's tenure, royalty will be paid at the rate of 7½ per cent. Royalties will be due in the third month of each year.\n\nThese Regulations seem to be very loosely drawn up, and are hardly adequate to provide for the management of so considerable an enterprise as that proposed.\n\nThey have not, of course, received the assent of the Viceroy, and the whole question of railways and electric lighting in Hainan has been referred to the Taotai of the Lei Ch'iung circuit, which includes Hainan, for report. (See Mr. Scott's despatch No. 21, 1902, General).\n\nHsin Ch'in, the officer newly appointed to the post in question, paid a visit to His Majesty's Consul-General on the 19th March. He is an official with some knowledge and experience of international affairs, and is well acquainted with Mr. Acheson, the present Commissioner of Customs at Kiung-chow, with whom his relations are very friendly. From remarks let fall by him during the interview, it does not seem probable that he will report favourably upon the proposed railway and electric lighting schemes.\n\n## The Huang Sha Reclamation and the Yüeh-Han Railway Syndicate\n\nThe situation in respect to the Huang Sha Reclamation and the claims of the Yüeh-Han Syndicate to occupy the whole of the reclaimed area for railway purposes, has become much more clearly defined since the last Report of this series was written.\n\nThe dispute respecting this reclaimed land, which formed the subject of despatch No. 10, General, of this Consulate-General, remains unsettled, in spite of repeated efforts of the Viceroy to induce the contending parties to moderate their claims.\n\nHis Excellency Sheng and the local Managing Director, Chang Chien Hsün, appear to have made up their minds that the whole of the reclaimed land, as well as the remaining area still unreclaimed but forming part of the grant made to the original Huang Sha concessionnaires, is absolutely essential for purposes of the Yüeh-Han Railway; and their claim appears to become more firmly established as the dispute progresses. The Viceroy is anxious for an arrangement satisfactory to both sides, and particularly that the powerful influence which supports the Yüeh-Han Syndicate shall not be allowed to cause gross injustice to the concessionnaires who received their charter from Li Hung-chang. His Excellency, accordingly, in January, appointed the Nam Hoi Magistrate to enter into negotiations with Chang Chien Hsün, and these negotiations have been in progress for two months with repeated reference to the high provincial authorities but without a final settlement being arrived at.\n\nIt appears that the concessionnaires estimate the work already completed by them at a sum of 200,000 taels, which is presumably intended to include some margin of profit for themselves if they are compelled to abandon the Concession. The Yüeh-Han Syndicate estimated the work at 25,000 taels, and invited the concessionnaires to furnish proof of the sums expended by them; the latter admitted their inability to do so, owing, they said, to the fact that large sums had been expended in preliminary arrangements with various officials, &c. Subsequently his Excellency Shêng authorized Chang Chien Hsun to offer 40,000 taels. This sum was raised to 60,000 taels by Chang himself. The Provincial Treasurer then came forward, and said that he would be prepared to try and obtain the acceptance of the concessionnaires if the sum could be raised to 80,000 taels. But Chang and the Syndicate refuse to do this, and matters are now at a deadlock, Chang declaring that he would rather return to the Straits, where he has a large fortune invested in mines and other property, than trouble himself any further with the Yüeh-Han Railway. He has a great reputation for wealth in Canton, and is known here as the Malay King or Malay Prince.\n\n## Engineers for Yüeh-Han Railway\n\nA party of thirteen American engineers are expected to arrive in Canton shortly ready to commence work upon the railway, and Chang Chien Hsun has already at his disposal a sum of 400,000 taels provided by his Excellency Shêng out of the capital obtained from native shareholders, to enable the work to be commenced.\n\n## Police matters\n\n### Diminution of Piracy and Robbery\n\nSince the commencement of the present Chinese year news of piracies and robberies in the delta has practically ceased, and it seems as if, for the time at least, a comparatively orderly state of affairs exists in that region. This may be due to the efforts of the Lieutenant-authorities, which have been redoubled during the past three months. Commander Webster, of His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen\" (formerly of His Majesty's ship \"Robin\") has spoken in high praise of the activity and energy of Li Chia Cho, the new Acting Magistrate of the Shun Tê district, and of the Viceroy's officers generally. Commander Webster has reported to his Excellency Admiral Bridge a diminution of piracy in the river, and gives his opinion that this is entirely due to the efforts of the Viceroy and his subordinates, especially Li Chia Cho.\n\nIt will be remembered that the shots which struck the steam-ship \"Nanning\" in the Tam Chao Channel were fired during an organized expedition against piracies not far from Shun Tak district city.\n\nIt remains to be seen whether the present more satisfactory state of things will continue. Expectations in this respect have been so often disappointed in the past that a permanent improvement is not readily credited. It may not be out of place to mention here the opinion of a well-educated Chinese who visited this Consulate-General during January last, and whose view is that frequency of crime is due to over-population and consequent poverty. He added that matters had been gradually getting worse and worse in this respect, especially since the closing of various countries to coolie immigration. The only solution of the difficulty, he said, was the establishment of new industries and the development of railway and mining enterprise, which might employ large sections of the population who would otherwise sink through poverty into crime.\n\n### Protection of Launches\n\nThe proposal by Captain Yang of the Shameen guard mentioned in the last report for a number of soldiers to be placed on board all launches leaving Canton has now been put into effect. Launch fares have been raised 10 per cent. to provide for the cost of carrying out the scheme, which is looked upon by the Chinese as likely merely to enrich Captain Yang. The following Regulations have further been issued by the Board of Reorganization:\n\n| Regulation | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | Owners of launches and towed boats are hereby informed that such craft must only stop at regular landing stages, and must not stop to pick up passengers promiscuously at all places. If they do so, they will incur a fine, and, in the event of passengers being robbed, they will be responsible for compensation. |\n| 2 | At each anchoring place a guard boat is to be placed, the officers in charge of which will see that their men carefully search all passengers and their luggage for arms, and keep a good look-out for suspicious characters. |\n\nPage 341",

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\n[May 23, 1903]\n\n### CRIMINAL JURISDICTION\n\n#### BEFORE HIS HONOUR SIR HENRY S. BERKELEY (ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE)\n\n##### THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL - SENTENCE OF DEATH\n\nThe trial was continued of Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Fan who was charged with the murder of a Reformer schoolmaster at 52, Gage Street on 10th January, 1901.\n\nMr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney-General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nChan Wan, who had been under examination when the Court rose on the previous night, was again put in the witness-box. He said he was employed at present as a cook on board the `Zafiro`. He knew the prisoner, who was nicknamed \"Sow\" (\"jutting teeth\") by reason of the peculiar formation of his teeth. Witness's brother Chan Lam Tsai was a member of the gang, and was executed because two letters were found in his possession by Li Ka Chuk. Witness had seen and read the letters, which did not relate to the murder directly, simply asking his brother to come down to Hongkong from Canton, as the Government of Hongkong wanted him. One of the letters was sent by \"Mai\" (the Chinese for Mr. May, then Captain Superintendent of Police). Witness was present at the execution of his brother, whose head was cut off on the Honam side of Canton. He remembered the murder of Yeung Kue Wan, and during the few months preceding it, witness was living at Canton with his brother, who rented the house and lived in it with his family. His brother was a soldier and a gambler - a soldier when times were busy and a gambler when they were slack. Li Ka Chuk, the mandarin, was the head of the Chuk regiment. Ko Ping Shan, whom witness knew, was one of Chuk's soldiers, called at witness's brother's house on 6th January, 1901, and the two - the brother and Ko Ping Shan - had a conversation, after which they went to Li Ka Chuk's barracks. When he came back, he had a conversation with Tung Cheung, the other man living in the house, and very early next morning all three - witness, his brother, and Tung Cheung - went to Chuk's barracks. Witness remained outside, but the other two went in and later on sent for him. When he entered, he saw the captain of the `Kin Yai` and the other two besides one of Li Ka Chuk's braves and a fourth member of the gang named Tsui.\n\nCross-examination continued - The pilot did not ask the witness to leave the room when he was discussing the project, in which the accused asked him to participate. His reason for not joining in it was that he was too busy with the cooking, and he did not make a report to the police because prisoner threatened to kill him if he did.\n\nRe-examined - The prisoner was arrested long before the police came to see him.\n\nChan Wan said he met the gang in Canton after the murder. Witness's elder brother, Lam Tsai, stated that he entered the house first and did the actual shooting. Tung Chung accompanied him. Tsui Fuk and the prisoner remained outside. Three of the gang received the greater part of the money reward; these were the prisoner, who got $2,000; Lam Tsai $2,000, and Tung Chung $2,000. He did not know what the other man received. These three also got buttons of the fifth rank, along with about twenty others. Witness saw two of the diplomas of rank, one in the possession of his elder brother Lam Tsai and one in the possession of Tung Chung. He produced and identified the patent, which belonged to his elder brother; it bore the date 30th January, 1901. The patent was sealed with the viceregal seal of Viceroy Tak. It stated that Chau Tai Oa (the official name of Chan Lam Tsai) had exerted himself in the arrest of the leader of the Ko-lo Society and other members of secret societies, and great credit was due to him.\n\nCross-examined - Before the death of Yeung Kue Wan, prisoner was unknown to him. Prisoner was not present at the house of his brother and at Li Ka Chuk's barracks in Canton. It was Li Ka Chuk who instructed his brother to carry out the murder.\n\nKong Ngau Ying, a fishmonger from Yaumati, deposed that he first met the prisoner on 8th January, 1901, at West Point with Lam Tsai and others. There they went into a brothel. He knew Lam Tsai. Afterwards, he learned that two of the others along with the prisoner were Tung Chung and Tsui Fuk. He saw prisoner again on 10th January at West Point in the Street; along with him were Chan Lam Tsai, Tung Chung, and Tsui Fuk. They took witness to an eating-house. After that, they went to the house of Ng La Sam, whom he had known. Li Chi Tin, between ten and twenty years, secretary to Li Ka Chuk, was there; also a man named Yeung Ching Kai, captain of the `Ai Yu`. Li Chi Tin asked him whether he \"wished to go or not.\" Witness asked \"Go where?\" Li Chi Tin replied \"To go to shoot Yeung Kue Wan.\" Witness said he was not going. Prisoner and the others were all present. Li Chi Tin then said \"Why don't you go? there is a reward of between $10,000 and $21,000 and you will get an appointment as a mandarin\"; adding that the reward would come from Viceroy Tak. Li Chi Tin explained that Yeung Kue Wan was the \"emperor\" of the Waichou rebellion.\n\n| Name | Role |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Fan | Accused |\n| Chan Lam Tsai | Brother of Chan Wan, member of the gang, executed |\n| Tung Chung | Member of the gang |\n| Tsui Fuk | Member of the gang |\n| Li Ka Chuk | Mandarin, head of the Chuk regiment |\n| Viceroy Tak | Viceroy who offered the reward |\n\nThe jury retired to consider their verdict at 4:50, returning to the Court at 5 o'clock.\n\nThe Foreman announced that the jury unanimously found the prisoner guilty.\n\nHis Lordship addressing the prisoner said - \"You have been found guilty of the murder of Yeung Kue Wan. If when you said that you did not commit the murder, you meant that it was not by your hand that this man met his death, then your statement was true. The charge against you is not that you yourself did the deed, but that you were one of a gang of four men who went to his house for the purpose of killing him and did kill him.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court therefore was that he be taken from hence to the place from whence he came and from thence on a day to be hereafter fixed to the place of execution; and that there he be hanged by the neck until he be dead, and that thereafter his body be buried in such a place as the Governor may direct, and 'may the Lord have mercy on his soul.\n\nAs the prisoner was removed from the dock, he exclaimed, \"It is a false accusation.\"\n\nThe Acting, Attorney-General said he wished to draw his Lordship's attention specially to the services of Sergeant O'Sullivan, who had had charge of this case from the beginning and had collected all the evidence in the case.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General in addressing the jury said his friend on the other side had asked every witness why he did not tell the police of the plot to murder Yeung Kue Wan, and each one had answered that he was afraid of the Chinese Government.\n\nHis Lordship in summing up said the defence of the evidence for the Crown was based on this - that if it had been as the witnesses said, they would have gone to the police or ought to have gone to the police and saved the man Yeung Kue Wan.\n\nThe jury would be justified in accepting it as a fact that he would not have been able to call witnesses to prove that he was not in Hongkong at the time witnesses said he was.\n\nThe Court adjourned.",

        "content_text": "# \n## IN CRIMINAL JURISDICTION.\n\n### BEFORE HIS HONOUR SIR HENRY S. BERKELEY (ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE),\n\n#### TRIAL OF LUI CHUI alias LI KWAI SAU CHARGED WITH MURDER.\n\nThe trial was continued of Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Sau who was charged with the murder of a Reformer schoolmaster at 52, Gage Street on 10th January, 1901.\n\nMr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nA Choe, examined by Mr. Sharp, said he was employed at present as a cook on board the `Zafiro`. He knew the prisoner, who was nicknamed \"Sow (jutting teeth)\" by reason of the peculiar formation of his teeth. Witness's brother Chan Lam Tsai was a member of the gang, and was executed because two letters were found in his possession by Li Ka Chuk. Witness had seen and read the letters, which did not relate to the murder directly, simply asking his brother to come down to Hongkong from Canton, as the Government of Hongkong wanted him. One of the letters was sent by Mui (the Chinese for Mr. May, then Captain Superintendent of Police).\n\nCross-examined - Before the death of Kuo Wau, prisoner was unknown to him. Prisoner was not present at the bone of witness's brother and at Li Ka Chuk's barracks in Canton. It was Li Ka Chuk who instructed his brother to carry out the murder. He first saw prisoner at the barracks after the death of Yeung Kue Wan. Witness's brother said in the barracks that the prisoner ran away when he heard shots.\n\nRe-examined - He did not see the ordering or payment of the $2,000 to the prisoner; the orders for the payment of $2,000 each to his brother and Tong Chung.\n\nKong Ngan Ying, a fishmonger from Yanwati, deposed that he first met the prisoner January, 1901, at West Point with Lam Tsai and others. There they went into a teahouse. He knew Lam Tsai. Afterwards he saw that two of the others along with the prisoner were Tung Chung and Tsai Fak. He saw prisoner again on 10th January at West Point in the Street; along with him were Chan Lam Tsai, Tung Chung, and Tsui Fak. They went to an eating-house. After that they went to the house of Ng Lo Sam, whom he had known between ten and twenty years. Li Chi Tin, secretary to Li Ka Chuk, was there; also named Yeung Ching Kai, captain of the braves. Li Chi Tin asked him whether he \"wished to go or not.\" Witness asked \"Go where?\" Li Chi Tin replied \"To go to shoot Yeung Kue Wan.\" Witness said he was not going. Prisoner and the others were all present. Li Chi Tin then said \"Why don't you go? There is a reward of between $10,000 and $200; we, we can be the trevious night, will get an appointment as a mandarin\"; \n\nThe others agreed to go, namely, the prisoner first and did the actual shooting. Tung Chung, Lam Tsai, Tsui Fuk, and Tung Cheung did not go to Hongkong. On the afternoon of 10th January, he saw the gang again, four of them stood in front of Young Kue Wan's house. The prisoner walked ahead of Lam Tsai and the others. Three of the gang received the greater part of the money reward; these were the prisoner, who got $2,000; Lam Tsai $2,000; and Tung Chung $2,100. They also got buttons of the fifth rank, along with the diplomas of rank, one in the possession of his elder brother Lam Tsai and one in the possession of Tung Chung.\n\nChan Wan, fisherman, Yanwati, said he had known the prisoner for several years. He met him on the marriage boat on or about 1st November, 1900. Prisoner asked him to go on shore with him to drink tea and smoke opium in the opium divan. Prisoner said Young Kue Wan was a rebel and the Chinese Government had offered a reward of between $10,000 and $20,000 for his capture; would witness assist him? Witness refused, saying he had not the courage. Prisoner said he did not need to be afraid, as he would get a reward and the Chinese Government would protect him. The reward was to come from Li Ka Chuk. Prisoner said Yeung Kue Wan resided in Hongkong.\n\nWong Shing, fisherman, stated that before the murder he met the prisoner, who asked people to assist him in shooting Kong Kua (Yeung Kue Wan). He refused. Prisoner then asked for the use of witness's boat for the purpose of kidnapping the deceased. Witness refused; his partner A Sum promised. At that time it was mentioned that there would be a reward of $35,000 if Young Kue Wan was killed and $10,000 if he was captured alive, the reward to come from Li Ka Chuk of the Chinese Government.\n\nSergeant E. O'Sullivan stated that he made the arrest acting on the information of Wong Ta Fak. He did not know how Wong Shing came to be in communication with the police. When the prisoner was put in Victoria Gaol he had seen none of the witnesses but Wong Shing. Some days later prisoner was paraded among 13 others for identification and was identified by Kong Ngau Ying. Some time later there was another identification. The witnesses Chan Wau and Tam Chung identified him separately; Chan Chung also identified him.\n\nThe hearing was adjourned at this point.\n\n### CONTINUATION OF TRIAL.\n\nAt a few minutes before seven, Mr. Whyte concluded the evidence of A Choe, and the Court was accordingly adjourned until this morning, and the jury were removed to the Hotel d'Europe.\n\n## THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL SENTENCE.\n\nThe jury retired to consider their verdict at 4:50, returning to the Court at 5 o'clock; and the Foreman announced that the jury unanimously found the prisoner guilty.\n\nHis Lordship directed the prisoner to be asked if he had anything to urge why sentence should not be passed upon him? The Prisoner replied that he did not do it; he had nothing more to say.\n\nMay 23, 1903. His Lordship addressing the prisoner said he had been found guilty of the murder of Yeung Kue Wan. When he said that he did not commit the murder, he meant that it was not his hand that this man met his death, but that he was one of a gang of four men who went to his house for the purpose of killing him and did kill him. The evidence was that the prisoner with Chan Lam Tsai and two others went to deceased's house, that he remained with another man outside to watch, that Lam Tsai and another man went into the house, and that Lam Tsai shot the deceased.\n\nThe sentence of the Court therefore was that he be taken from hence to the place from whence he came and from thence on a day to be fixed to the place of execution, and that there he be hanged by the neck until he be dead, and that thereafter his body be buried in such a place as the Governor may direct, and may the Lord have mercy on his soul.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General in addressing the jury said his friend on the other side had asked every witness why he did not tell the police of the plot to murder Yeung Kue Wan, and each one had answered that he was afraid of the Chinese Government. And were they not safe under the protection of the Hongkong police? he asked. This case was an answer in itself. Yeung Kue Wan was not safe under the protection of the Hongkong police. It was questionable whether even now the lives of the witnesses who had given evidence were safe: it was a matter which it was better perhaps not to go into.\n\nThe Court adjourned.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\nAt Pingto over 150 people were recently burned to death while worshipping in a temple. In burning incense and large quantities of paper, the staircase of the building was set alight, thus preventing all escape. Some jumped out of the windows but were crushed to death. The victims were burned beyond recognition. Others would have jumped but the rush was so great that they could not get out. Most of the victims were burned beyond recognition.",

He was removed to the Hospital in Third Street where he eventually recovered.\n\nOn the 14th May, a man named CHU KUM reported sick from No. 76 Second Street.

His Excellency had referred to the small gift which he (Mr. Ho Kum Tong) had presented; he considered it his duty to act as he had done, and in future he would be very pleased to do any such slight service in rendering the work more effective. If he might be allowed, he would like to mention the name of Inspector Gidley, who had done a great deal in carrying out the work. On behalf of the Kaifong and of the community, he thanked His Excellency very much for his kindness and the genuine interest he had taken in them. (Applause) \n\nMr. Liu Yi also spoke. He thanked His Excellency for the merciful kindness displayed by him in undertaking to look after these two blocks of buildings of the lower class people. His Excellency had undertaken the work out of pure goodness of heart. If the plague came next year, the Kaifong would assist the Sanitary Board to carry out their work if it was done in the same way as was adopted by His Excellency. They had to thank Mr. Fung Wa Chun, who had come down there very often, and Dr. Atkinson for the kind way in which he had looked after patients, also Dr. Pearse and Dr. Leong, the Chinese doctor. Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Pearse had treated the Chinese with great kindness; indeed, he thought they showed more consideration for the Chinese than for the European patients. They would come and sit on the bed and turn the patient up, and many doctors would not do that. His Excellency, too, when he had cases reported to him, came down to see them, and the members of the Kaifong and the inhabitants would remember his kindness as long as they lived. (Applause). \n\nOn the call of Mr. Fung Wa Chun, three cheers were given for His Excellency, and the company afterwards dispersed. \n\nThe following is the letter of thanks which His Excellency is presenting to each member of the Kaifong:- \n\n## Government House, Hongkong, 3rd August, 1903.\n\nThe Governor desires to thank the following members of the Kaifong who volunteered their services during the epidemic of plague in Hongkong in 1903.\n\nThe Governor highly appreciates the good work they have done by inducing their neighbours to take precautions against the spread of the plague—precautions that he hopes may have been the means of saving the lives of some among them :----\n\n| Name |\n|------|\n| Chan Ki |\n| Chak Cheung |\n| Mak Sui |\n| Mak Hi |\n| Mak Ubak |\n| Lau Chin |\n| Liu Yi |\n| Wong Wai |\n| Tam Chiu |\n| Man Ling |\n| Cheng Tai |\n| Kwok Nam |\n| Fang Kap |\n| Un Shai Ki |\n| Tsau Sang |\n| Cheong Chi |\n| Wan run |\n| Mang Yat |\n| Chan Chun |",

Blake, G.C.M.G., departed on Saturday to take up the Governorship of Ceylon. The farewell greeting that he got from the community of the Colony was such as to leave a lasting memory in His Excellency's mind of the feelings of respect and affection with which he is regarded by the people of this Colony. Unfortunately, the weather was not auspicious, for it rained steadily all day long and the streets were ankle-deep in mud. Sir Henry Blake was accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keane, A.L.C. The party left Government House shortly after eleven o'clock, in chairs, and proceeded to the City Hall where a large assembly of the citizens had met to present His Excellency with a farewell address. Afterwards, they proceeded to Blake Pier and went by launch out to the P. & O. s.s. Malta by which they are to journey to Ceylon.\n\n### ADDRESS AT THE CITY HALL\n\nFor the occasion, St. Andrew's Hall had been decorated with palm, ferns, and flowers under the superintendence of Mr. W. J. Tutcher of the Botanical and Afforestation Department. A raised platform was placed at the upper end. The Governor's party rode from Government House to the hall by way of Albert Road, past the Government offices into and down Garden Road, and across Queen's Road. The route was lined by the Indian soldiers of the 110th Mahrattas and 93rd Burmas. On arrival at the hall, His Excellency, accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keane, took up his central position on the dais, the assembly standing up meanwhile. When seats had been resumed, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir William Goodman, wearing his robes, entered by the side door, accompanied by the unofficial members of the Legislative Council and the committee of the Chamber of Commerce as follows: Sir Paul Chater, Hon. Gershom Stewart, Hon. C. W. Dickson, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei Yuk, Messrs. E. A. Hewett, D. R. Law, N. A. Siebs, A. G. Wood, J. R. M. Smith. Among others present in the hall were the Puisne Judge (Mr. A. G. Wise), the Colonial Secretary (Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G.), Hon. L. A. M. Johnston (Acting Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Sir H. S. Berkeley (Attorney-General), Hon. W. Chatham (Director of Public Works), Hon. Basil Taylor (Harbour Master), Hon. A. W. Brewin (Registrar-General), Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Colonel L. F. Brown, Colonel Birdwood, Colonel Wylly, Major Dopping Hepenstall, Messrs. C. A. Tomes, H. W. Looker, H. P. Tooker, A. Ramjohn, M. S. Northcote, H. N. Mody, A. G. Romano, Consul-General for Portugal; T. Liebert, Consul for France; E. Hamman, Consul for Belgium; L. Volpicelli, Consul-General for Italy; E. Mnelle, Consul for Peru, C. Clementi, H. W. Slade, E. H. Sharp, K.C., B. Layton, J. Hastings, H. J. Gedge, K. F. Johnston, Major Radcliff, M. W. Slade, E. A. Hewett, P. W. Sergeant, B. James, Bishop Piazzoli, Rev. Father Beaublat, Procureur des Missions Etrangères; Rev. Fathers Spada, de Maria, and Gabardi, Messrs. Ho Tang, Ho Fook, Ho Kom Tong, Chan Siu Ki, Yong Won Chang, Leung Pia Chi, Taung Shi Kai, Wong Kom Fuk, Lo Koon Ting, Fung Wa Chun, Lo Cheung Shiu, Lam Chi Fung, Chun Law Hung, and Ian Chu Pak; and a good proportion of ladies.\n\nAs the deputation entered the hall, the whole assembly rose to their feet.\n\nSir William Goodman then addressed His Excellency as follows: - Your Excellency,--- We have met here this morning to present to your Excellency an address from the people of this Colony expressing, now that you are about to leave us, their appreciation of your work here as Governor and their hearty good wishes for your success and well-being in the future. I feel it a great honour to have been specially asked to act on this occasion for those who have signed that address, representing, as they do, not only the British residents but also the various nationalities which go to make up the general community of Hongkong;\n\nof 254 November 1987. 5727 \nand in their name, I will ask your Excellency's permission to read that address and then to add a few words by way of personal expression.\n\nSir William then read the following address: -\n\n**To His Excellency Sir Henry Arthur Blake, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.**\n\nYour Excellency, - We, the undersigned residents of Hongkong, on the eve of your departure to take up the important post His Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon you, desire to express our appreciation of the valuable services rendered to this Colony during your Excellency's term of office here. The administration of a Crown Colony at a distance of more than ten thousand miles from the mother country cannot, even in ordinary times, prove an easy task. We realise that the difficulties attendant upon a peaceful and successful government of this Colony were increased during the earlier period of your Excellency's tenure of office by the disastrous outbreak in the neighbouring Empire, and we are glad to think that at this critical period the government of the Colony was in your able hands.\n\nIt is impossible in the brief space afforded us by an address to go into detail as to the various phases of your Excellency's administration, but we would specially refer to a few of the more important.\n\nDuring your term of office, the boundaries of the Colony have been extended from 27 square miles to 400 square miles, an increase which naturally adds largely to the work of administration, and we rejoice to feel that the disturbances and resistance met with in taking over the New Territory were promptly and decisively overcome, and that the population have since maintained a peaceful and contented attitude, indicating the satisfaction they feel with the system of Government it has fallen upon your Excellency to introduce and administer for the last five years.\n\nThe projects for the erection of various urgently needed public buildings, notably the new Post Office, have been accelerated through your Excellency's personal endeavours.\n\nAmong other questions which have engaged your Excellency's attention has been the extending of the road-system of the Colony, and in particular the opening-up of the New Territory by the construction of the main Tai-po Road.\n\nThe proposed Praya East Reclamation Scheme, the immense importance of which your Excellency was prompt to recognise and strongly advocated, has up to the present been found impossible of execution owing to difficulties with certain of the authorities in England, but we trust that your efforts to secure this desired expansion of the city will ultimately be crowned with success.\n\nThe burning question of the site for the Naval Dock Yard has been dealt with so recently that it is unnecessary here to go into details, but the protest made by the Colony against the Admiralty scheme was warmly supported by your Excellency, who fully recognised the injury it would entail upon the City of Victoria. In this connection, we can assure you that the earnest endeavours made by your Excellency to induce the Naval Authorities to reconsider their adverse decision, and thus secure for the city an unbroken sea-front and its legitimate expansion, will be gratefully remembered.\n\nThe last and most important act of your Excellency's administration in this Colony has been the founding of the Hongkong Improvement Trust, which we are convinced will have far-reaching effects and will confer upon the Colony incalculable benefits which will last so long as Hongkong continues to be a centre for trade in the Far East.\n\nIt is, however, when we consider the health of the Colony, on which our prosperity so vitally depends, that the debt of gratitude which we owe to your Excellency becomes most manifest.\n\nThe all-important question of the Colony's water-supply has occupied much of your attention, particularly the most necessary works which you have inaugurated at ...",

        "content_text": "6\n\nof the year, the time of the great pilgrimage form their chief means of subsistence, and most of the buildings are falling into a sad state of disrepair.\n\nAnother feature of the Shih Tan Ssu is a balustrade of Ta Li marble, some 30 yards long, before the chief shrine which contains three colossal Buddhas. Leaving Shih Tan Ssu and following the main cornice road to the summit in a westerly direction through the forest, we first passed the minor temples of Hsing Hsien Ssu and Wan Sheng An, and so arrive at Ta Chueh Ssu (Monastery of Great Perception), which is one of the Wa T Ssu or five great temples (Ta Chueh, Shih Tan, Chin Lan, Hua Yen, and Mo Ni An).” Ta Chueh Ssu consists of three courts in a tumble-down condition. Close to Ta Chuch is Chi Kwang Ssu, which claims to be the oldest of all the shrines. In it are seven images of the Jn Loi Buddha, with the mystic symbol on their breasts; also a small Buddha on a white elephant, and two enormous rice boilers of bell-metal dating from the Ming Emperor, Tien Chi. The forest then opens out, allowing fine views of the valley of Sha Chi and of the large Hua Yen Ssu, situated lower down the hill on a wooded height. After ascending 2,000 feet in 5 miles we arrived at the foot of the western pinnacle of the mountain, and put up in the comfortable Chin Lan Ssu, otherwise known as Chia Sha Ssu, where we found only three monks. From this temple the ascent to the Chin Tien, or Golden Shrine, on the summit takes about 1 hour. Winding up a steep stone path between limestone precipices, we passed several caves in which holy but dirty monks lay in wait for the cash of the faithful. A few hundred feet below the summit is the Tung Fo Ssu, a small temple dating from this dynasty with a roof of copper. A steep and dizzy climb brought us from this to the top, at an elevation of 11,800 feet. The Chin Tien is a tumble-down little temple in the centre of the chief court, of which is a shrine with door and roof of copper, and surrounded by a Ta Li marble balustrade, closely resembling the copper shrine at Wu San Kwei's temple near Yünnan-fu.\n\nIn front of the shrine is a large and artistically-shaped incense burner of bell-metal, about 5.8 feet high.\n\nThe view from the summit of the Chi Shan is of surpassing magnificence, and embraces a large portion of the Ta Li Prefecture. To the east the ridge of the Chi Shan slopes away to the Pin Chuan Valley, while its forest-clad heights slope gradually down to the valley of Sha Chi at the spectators' feet. To the south-east were the mountains which we had crossed in our journey from Ta Yao, running north and south in parallel ranges. To the south are the masses of hills between the Ta Li Lake and the plain of Yunnan Hsien. To the west a magnificent view is obtained of the isolated range of the Tsang Shan, which, with its nineteen peaks, rising to about 13,000 feet, forms a vast screen on the west side of the Ta Li Lake. No snow was visible in early December, and, indeed, the attitude of this range is well under the snow-line in this part of Yunnan. Glimpses of the lake are obtained, and though the city of Ta Li is hidden, the pagodas outside the north gate of the city can be seen. But the most conspicuous object of all in the whole panorama is to the north, where the great white dome of the Lichiang snow-peak, towering high above all rival summits, glitters in the winter sun. From the Chi Shan it is distant 65 miles in an air-line.\n\nLeaving the Ka Sha Ssu and passing through the forest for a mile, we cross a col, 9,200 feet, and descend in a north direction down a beautiful glen, where slopes of bracken and fields of oats are diversified with shrubberies of rhododendrons and pines. On the north side of the mountain there is only one temple, the Feng Chen Ssu, inhabited by a villainous-looking bonze, who apologized for the disordered state of his temple because he had only just come out after six months in the Teng Chuan Gaol. Some mules, it appeared, had vanished from near the holy man's abode, and here, as elsewhere, the world is very censorious. From this undesirable spot my muletcer hastened us down a rough road, with views of bare mountain ranges to the north in front of us, down to the bed of a small stream, along the banks of which runs the high road from Ta Li to Yung Peh. This stream flows east into the Yang-tsze, and we followed up its course in a west direction, along a narrow strip of cultivation, until we found a camp-ground at the little village of Ta Wang Miao. The next day, at [F] miles, we passed out of the valley and over a grassy col, insignificant in itself, but important as being the divide between the Yang-tsze and the Mekong. Shortly after the north end of the Ta Li Lake came into sight- the flourishing villages, dense cultivation round the fringe of the lake, the numerous fishing-boats, and the flocks of wildfowl forming a striking contrast to the bare, lonely slopes of the mountains above. We struck the lake near a marshy pond full of mallards, which enabled us to replenish the larder; and after an easy and interesting walk past the flourishing market of Chiang Wei (where excellent fowl and snipe shooting is to be had) and past flourishing villages, we crossed the bridge of boats\n\n7\n\nwhich spans the river which feeds the north end of the lake, and marched into Shang-Kuan under the shadow of the Tsang Shan.\n\nThe influence of Buddhism-of which the temples on the Chi Shan are the outward and visible sign-is still strongly marked in the Ta Li valley, which is popularly spoken of as the \"Land of Buddha.\" A number of military officers come from Ta Li, Hoching, and Lichiang: and most of them (including Chiang, the late provincial Commander-in-chief) are devotees of Buddha. Their piety is sometimes usefully and elegantly displayed by the construction of bridges and the ornamentation of temples. Sometimes it breaks out in inconvenient places. Thus, the military authorities in Yunnan are very fond of forbidding the slaughter of animals for food, though whether their motive is, as they state, \"respect for heaven-given life\" or the prospect of a squeeze \"for permitting breaches of their own regulations, I leave to be determined by those who know the mandarins. Shortly before I arrived the Captain of the City Guard at Ta Li had issued a strange Proclamation. After pointing out that \"all the myriads of created beings love life,\" he proceeds to assert that eels and magpies in particular have a \"meng,\" or destined course of life, with which it is impious to interfere. Accordingly, it is strictly forbidden to catch these creatures, and all and sundry who would indulge in the surreptitious pleasure of fried eels, or the more doubtful joys of magpie shooting, are warned that the eye of the Captain of the Guard is on them.\n\nCC\n\nTu Li-fu and the Valleys near it.\n\nIt is.\n\nfrom\n\nThe importance of Hsia Kuan, at the south of the Ta Li Valley, as a centre both of foreign and native trade cannot fail to strike the traveller; it is the commercial capital\n\npasses of West Yünnan, and if we can insist on respect being paid to transit Burmah, will soon become the largest market in the province. The li-kin is one of the best in the province, the amount collected chiefly on native opium being from 40,000 taels to 50,000 taels per annum. The town is increasing rapidly, and rents are far higher than at Ta Li, the greater part of the latter city being still in ruins, and being cursed by the presence of a number of officials. Hsia Kuan has a population of over 12,000, nearly all of whom are engaged in trade; the town is situated on both sides of a small river which flows out of the south-west corner of the Erh Hai or Ta Li Lake, and The ruins of the old rans west into the Yangpi River, and so to the Mekong. Rivan, or fortified wall, which ran from the foot of the mountains to the lake, are still standing in picturesque dilapidation on the north bank of the river.\n\nNot only is Hsia Kuan a resort of merchants of all kinds-dealers in foreign goods from Tengyueh, cloth-sellers and opium buyers from Lin Au (South Yünnan), Canton opium buyers, pedlars from Szechuan, Thibetans, and Li-chiang traders with ponies, mules, woollen cloth, drugs, and musk to exchange for tea, salt, sugar, and cottons-but it is an important centre of opium production and general consumption. I estimate that at least half of our imports from Burmah go up to Hsia Kuan.\n\nThe mountains press close on the east shore of the lake, while on the west the feet of the great Tsang Shan range are only 15 li, or 4.4 miles from the water, but the Ta Li plain, though narrow, is very thickly populated, and to the north and south of the lake are a series of rich agricultural valleys. The district of T'ai Ho Hsien, which comprises only the plain between lake and mountain, and between Hsia Kuan and Shang Kuan- say, 44 miles by 30 miles-has nearly 250 villages, besides the towns of Ta Li and Hsia Kuan; and the population can hardly be under 100,000. The sub-Prefecture of Chao Chou at the south end of the lake and of Teng Chuan at the north head of the lake have a large area of rich agricultural land and an abundant supply of water; further south are the plains of Meng Hua, 20 miles by 4 miles, and Hung Ai, 18 miles by 5 miles, which resemble the valleys of Szechuan in their richness; while to the north of Teng Chuan are the plains of Lang K'ung, Chien Chuan, Hoching, and Lichiang.\n\nI estimate that quite 1,250,000 persons and the best-to-do in the province are supplied from Hsia Kuan, and in a province the whole of which does not probably contain more than 10,000,000 inhabitants, this is a high figure. I would advocate the establishment of a Chinese agency at Hsia Kuan by some foreign firm. If arrangements can be made to send opium to Canton via Burmah, the prosperity of the country will be greatly increased.\n\nThe great majority of the peasants in the Ta Li plain and the valleys to the north are Minchia. They are, however, especially in the Ta Li plain, very mixed with Chinese. It is said that between the lake and the mountain there are only two villages of pure Minchia, but the majority of the population along the actual shore of the lake\n\n247",

The country is entirely clad with dense virgin forest. The difficulties were creditably surmounted by the Assistant Engineer in charge. At 10 miles (Nam-sa torrent) the country opens out into large rolling foot-hills, where work was easy, and at 14 miles the open plain of the Taiping is reached. The road then passes above the village of Man-hsien and stops at the hamlet of Man-yim. From this to Lung Chang market (the third main stage on the present Bhamo trade route, counting from Teng-yueh) is 12½ miles by alignment and on a dead level, and with no streams absolutely requiring bridges for mule traffic; but to make a first-class mule road over these 12½ miles will cost a good deal more than was expected, owing to the presence of several large marshes, supplied by mountain streams, and through these stone causeways would have to be constructed. But an earthen \"fair weather\" road, which would be available for eleven months of the year, with irrigation channels and ramps to and from the small streams traversed, could probably be made for under 20,000 rupees. I have not yet the accounts of the sums expended this season, but I believe that the total, inclusive of bridges and dynamite, will come to 45,000 rupees, to which 10,000 rupees will have to be added for the iron bridge over the Nam-sa. Considering the difficult nature of the country, I believe that this is 15 to 20 per cent. cheaper than the usual Bhamo rates.\n\nAs it is unlikely that further Chinese funds will be available, it is earnestly to be hoped that the Government of Burma will agree to continue the work at its own expense up to Teng-yueh, future repairs to be seen to by the Customs Taotai, the Commissioner, and the Consul. Next to the removal of the disastrous prohibition against the transit of opium, a good mule road is the first requisite for the revival of our long-neglected frontier trade. Even if it is decided to undertake railway construction in the Taiping Valley, some time must elapse before such a decision can bear fruit, and even when work is commenced, a good service road will be a necessity.\n\nIn conclusion, I would draw attention to the excellent service rendered by Mr. A. W. Mukerjee, Assistant Engineer in the Burma Public Works Department, in connection with this road. Owing to his experience of frontier road-making, he was put in sole charge, and very wisely given wide discretion. The result is that in three months he has put through a work that has been talked about for three years. His tact and energy were of great value. He had to deal with suspicious Chinese officials, lazy Shan headmen, and ignorant Kachins, but there has been no single instance of serious trouble or misunderstanding. At one time nearly 3,000 men were working on the road, which has been made chiefly by contract piece labour. The good impression made by Mr. Mukerjee on all natives with whom he came in contact will render any future operations by the Burma Public Works Department in China much easier, and there is every reason to hope that an abundant supply of labour will be forthcoming. I would venture to suggest that the attention of the Government of India may be drawn to the exceptionally good services rendered, under difficult circumstances, by Mr. Mukerjee, so that, if he is available, he may be entrusted with any further work that may be undertaken in the Taiping Valley.\n\nI have, &c.

I am still awaiting the receipt of printed copies of any correspondence with the Burma Government before furnishing you with details of the Agreement which, in conjunction with Mr. Litton, I negotiated at Teng-yueh last December.\n\nI have reason to believe that the question of a light railway to Teng-yueh is at the present time engaging the attention of the India Office and of the Indian Government. Should the decision be reached to construct such railway, or to continue the new road, it is gratifying to learn that there is every prospect, thanks to the tact shown by Messrs. Litton and Mukerjee, of the work being carried through without friction, or the delays due to an inadequate supply of labour.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) W. H.

Work for the season has now been finished, and 17 miles of good mule road with a ruling gradient of one in eighteen are now open to mule traffic. The bridge over the torrent of the Nam-sa, which is practically unfordable all the year round, is of a temporary character, and the work on this, the Taiping gorge, section of the future trade route cannot be called complete until an iron 60-foot span bridge is substituted, which will be done next year, at a probable cost of 10,000 rupees.\n\nThis section, with the solitary exception of the Nan-tien gorge, 5 miles long, commencing 28 miles from Teng-yueh, is the most difficult on the whole road.

The difficulties were creditably surmounted by the Assistant Engineer in charge. At 10 miles (Nam-sa torrent) the country opens out into large rolling foot-hills, where work was easy, and at 14 miles the open plain of Taiping is reached. The road then passes above the village of Man-hsien and stops at the hamlet of Man-yim. From this to Lung Chang market (the third stage on the present Bhamo trade route, counting from Teng-yueh) is 12½ miles alignment and on a dead level, and with no streams absolutely requiring bridges for mule traffic; but to make a first-class mule road over these 12½ miles will cost a good deal more than was expected, owing to the presence of several large marshes, supplied by mountain streams, and through these stone causeways would have to be constructed. But an earthen \"fair weather\" road, which would be available for clear months of the year, with irrigation channels and ramps to and from the small streams I have not yet traversed, could probably be made for under 20,000 rupees.\n\naccounts of the sums expended this season, but I believe that the total, inclusive of bridges and dynamite will come to 45,000 rupees to which 10,000 rupees will have to be added for the iron bridge over the Nam-sa. Considering the difficult nature of the country, I believe that this is 15 to 20 per cent. cheaper than the usual Bhamo rate. As it is unlikely that further Chinese funds will be available, it is earnestly to be hoped that the Government of Burmah will agree to continue the work at its own expense up to Teng-yueh, future repairs to be seen to by the Customs Taotai, the Commissioner, and the Consul. Next to the removal of the disastrous prohibition against the transit of opium, a good mule road is the first requisite for the revival of our long neglected frontier trade. Even if it is decided to undertake railway construction in the Taiping Valley, some time must elapse before such a decision can be fruitful, and even when work is commenced, a good service road will be a necessity.\n\nIn conclusion, I would draw attention to the excellent service rendered by Mr. A. W. Mukerjee, Assistant Engineer in the Burmah Public Works Department in connection with this road. Owing to his experience of frontier road-making he was put in sole charge, and very wisely given wide discretion. The result is that in three months he has put through a work that has been talked about for three years. His tact and energy were of great value. He had to deal with suspicious Chinese officials, lazy Shan headmen, and ignorant Kachins, but there has been no single instance of serious trouble or misunderstanding. At one time nearly 3,000 men were working on the road, which has been made chiefly by contract piece labour. The good impression made by Mr. Mukerjee on all natives with whom he came in contact will render any future operations by the Burmah Public Works Department in China much easier, and there is every reason to hope that an abundant supply of labour will be forthcoming. I would venture to suggest that the attention of the Government of India may be drawn to the exceptionally good services rendered, under difficult circumstances, by Mr. Mukerjee, so that, if he is available, he may be intrusted with any further work that may be undertaken in the Taiping Valley.\n\nI have, &c.

The western limit of this, the first suggested \"Gare de Yunnan-sen\" is a paved road that runs due south at about a third of a mile from the eastern wall, and joins at right angles a second and wider stone road coming from opposite the approach to the South Gate.\n\n33\n\nThis latter road crosses by the \"Bridge of Victory\" a stream that may be destined to play a not unimportant part in the coming commerce of Yunnan-fu. The stream will be seen to meander through the plain from the local Black Dragon fount - there is a Hei-lung-t'an near every place of consequence in Yunnan - on the north-east till it strikes the city precincts near the Little East Gate.\n\nThence it runs, not far from the wall, in a fairly straight course till it is well past the city, after which it resumes its wandering ways until it is finally merged in the Yunnan Lake. Meanwhile, about a mile south of the city, it has put out a channel running westward, a channel that also eventually leads to the lake. The new gare will be found marked as extending along the east of the parent stream, from the Bridge of Victory to the parting of the channels. I may mention here that I have just been told by my colleague of France that this emplacement of the \"gare\" has been accepted by the local authorities.\n\nIt is proposed to canalize the stream by means of locks, and so to obtain a head of water sufficient to enable small steam-tugs to bring boats up from the lake to alongside the railway station. As coal good enough for use in railway engines has been discovered among the hills west of the lake, whence, too, abundance of building stone is to be had, as, moreover, a ferry service could thus be maintained with K'unyang and other places on the lake, the advantages to be gained by this project of canalization are obvious. Whether the project is practicable, however, I have not yet learnt on good authority.\n\nIt is also proposed by the French to induce the officials to set apart all the ground between the \"gare\" and, at any rate, the western channel to the lake as a sort of European, or at least Europeanized, Settlement. The northern strip along the great paved road from the South Gate to the Bridge of Victory, a strip already largely taken up with Chinese houses, would be left to Chinese dirt and disorder, but the bulk of the ground would be laid out in foreign fashion, with straight broad roads that should be kept clear of offal, dogs, pigs, and intermittent paving stones.\n\nFrance, however, by M. Constans, her former Minister at Peking, renounced the right to demand a concession or settlement at any Treaty port where she did not then (1887) possess one; and Yunnan-fu is not yet even a Treaty port. Moreover, as was shown the other day, when negotiations for the \"gare\" were in progress, the Local Government demur to the acquisition of land here by foreign traders. It is certain, nevertheless, that on the completion of the railway Yunnan-fu will become, in reality if not in name, an open mart; and, meanwhile, the necessity of a \"magasin\" for the railway employés will be maintained, and will lead to the introduction of a foreign - that is, of course, a French - store, just as somewhat similar conditions led to the establishment at Peking in the seventies of Kiérulff's and Vrard's hotels. The Chinese will become gradually aware that the arrival of the first locomotive must greatly increase the value of land all about the \"gare,\" and they will buy up the neighbouring sites. What is worse, they will build on them; and, instead of an orderly Settlement, we shall have a filthy human warren alongside the first-class station.\n\nAs far as I am aware, Great Britain has nowhere tied her hands in regard to demands for settlement areas. At Têngyüeh the T'aotai accepted my suggestion that the neighbourhood of the ground purchased for a British Consulate should be laid out as a Europeanized Settlement, with a Municipal Committee of Chinese and foreigners. Mr. Litton now sends me a notification by the Sub-Prefect forbidding Chinese to encroach on the roads - 3 chang or 35 English feet wide - that have been marked out in this area, or to bury their dead within the Settlement. Concerted action by the British and French should be able to secure similar treatment for the square mile adjoining the proposed \"gare.\"\n\nAs a place of residence, this area is not at present at all inviting; but neither was in 1843 the mud flat \"full of all abominations\" (as a Chinese author has it) that has since become the British Settlement at Shanghai.\n\nMeanwhile, the combined establishment of M. de Pauliny, the Chief of Section, and of M. Sorrel, the contractor, is lodged in an extensive annexe to a native temple, a few hundred yards north-east of the future railway station. Even to foreigners, the annexe - which was built by the Chinese authorities for this purpose - is known as the \"t'ieh-lu Kung-so\" or railway offices. On the other side of the paved road that forms its western limit - this is the paved road already described as running parallel to the east wall of the city - is a large open space, some 30 mou (about 5 acres) in extent.\n\n5\n\nThis, M. François, the late Consul-General, told me had been offered to him as a Consular site, at the price of 3,000 taels. The surroundings are, however, unpleasant (as they are everywhere in the immediate neighbourhood of Yunnan-fu, except to the north) and, in any case, no definite decision has yet been reached by the French Government for the erection of a Consulate.\n\nThe railway establishments at Mengtse remain much as they were described by Mr. Litton in his admirable Report of the 1st October last, but along the road leading to them from the East Gate of the town, a number of buildings are going up, half Chinese, half European, for the accommodation of what might be called the camp followers of the undertaking - Annamese hotelkeepers, Japanese \"filles de joie,\" and the rest.\n\nThis apparent prosperity of Mengtse must, I fear, be only transitory, since the railway will not now avail itself of the spacious green between the French post-office and the French hospital that was originally set aside for its \"gare.\" The new \"gare\" for Mengtse, a third-class \"gare,\" will be situated 6 kilometres (4 miles) to the east, and some 500 feet up the mountain side. There is talk of constructing a short branch line thence to the town, and it seems certain that the existing road, even now of fair dimensions, will be enlarged and improved. Moreover, the conservatism of trade is always to be reckoned with. Nevertheless, it seems highly probable that when the railway is in working order, the caravans with tin slabs from Kuochin, to the west, will proceed straight to the \"gare\" and so pass Mengtse by. It is even more certain that the trade with K'aihua and Kuangnan, to the east, will not come down to the Mengtse Plain merely to return over those four miles to the station in the hills.\n\nAt Mengtse, I was received by the French colony with the greatest courtesy and an abounding hospitality. M. Guibert caused copies to be struck off for me of the plans which I have just described, and sent a circular along the line up to I-liang, requesting for me a \"bon accueil.\" M. Richard sketched out my route, indicating the places where I could spend the night, or, as the case might be, make my mid-day halt. M. Sainson, the Consul, accompanied me twice to the workings on the hill, arranging on the second occasion for a picnic at the spring (another Hei-lung-t'an) below the site of the future \"gare.\"\n\nThat site, as Mr. Litton suggests, is very limited in area, nor from the nature of the ground can it well be otherwise. And yet, if the Customs are to continue to be established at Mengtse, it will obviously be necessary to maintain at least an examiner and his staff alongside the railway station, together with the usual apparatus of sheds and godowns. In the event, it would seem exceedingly likely that the Mengtse establishment will be broken up, and its constituents distributed between the two termini of the line, Yünnan-fu and Ho-K'ou.\n\nI followed the \"tracé\" southwards only as far as the Mi-la-ti \"col,\" the watershed between the Mengtse Plain (which belongs to the West River system) and the Nam-hti (an affluent of the Red River). Work on the tunnel here was proceeding at a reasonably rapid rate: several courses of stone facing are in position. Indeed, the two lots (Nos. 10 and 11 in the fourth section) for which M. Péraglié is contractor are considerably further advanced than any others along the line. One reason for this is doubtless because they are the nearest to head-quarters, and are under the immediate supervision of the Directeur des Travaux. Another reason is that they are the first lots on the Yunnan Plateau, and therefore secure many of the Chinese labourers who have found the Nam-hti Valley impossible.\n\nThe progress of the railway, indeed, is now almost entirely a question of labour. All along the road, I heard the same complaint - lack of the \"main d'œuvre.\" The Regulations require that recourse should be had in the first instance to the populace of Yunnan, and that only when this source fails should Chinese from other provinces be engaged. But the Yünnanese is a man of few wants, and with a strong dislike to prolonged exertion. As soon as he has earned a dollar or two as wages, he throws up his work for the month, for he has gained enough to keep him in rice and opium. Furthermore, there is no excess of population in Yunnan, as there is, for example, in congested Kuangtung. When the season comes for breaking up the opium fields and planting out the summer crop of paddy, the Yunnan coolies desert, almost to a man. The same will happen again at rice harvest and poppy sowing. In short, as M. Prud'homme told me, it is impossible to reckon on a steady supply of Yunnan labour during more than five months in the year.\n\n[2172 -1]\n\n24",

        "content_text": "As the French are about to resume railway construction on the frontier, and with the continuation of the Tonquin main line from Hanoi to Lungchow and Nanning, the Province of Kuangsi will inevitably be brought under French influence, and the French authorities will undoubtedly endeavour to arrange with the Chinese Government for special facilities for rail-borne cargo crossing the frontier. Under these circumstances, the presence of a British Consular officer at Nanning might perhaps prevent any serious steps being taken to the detriment of British trade; he would, in any case, be able to obtain early information as to what was going forward.\n\nAs regards the future competition of the French railway system with the West River trade route, and the substitution of Hanoi for Hong Kong as the distributing centre of South-West China, I do not think the latter port has anything to fear as long as the Chinese Government continue to grant reasonable facilities to foreign trade on the West River and the shipping Companies of Hong Kong continue to maintain and improve their steam-boat services. What is now being done in this direction I shall briefly refer to in the next section, but I would here venture to call attention to the vital importance of the West River to the trade of Hong Kong. We have here one of the largest rivers in China, second only to the Yang-tsze in commercial importance, traversing and, with its tributaries, draining the whole of the Provinces of Kuangtung and Kuangsi, and parts of Yunnan and Kueichow, to join the ocean in the waters of a British Colony. To-day steamers and steam-launches are taking passengers and cargo from Hong Kong, Canton, and all the principal towns in the delta, to Samshui, Wuchow, Nanning, and even Posé, distant 750 miles from the coast. By means of this service, assisted by native shipping, foreign goods can reach by water all the principal markets in South-Western China - to Shaokuan and Nanhsiung (Namheung), on the borders of Kiangsi; to Kueilin, on the borders of Hunan; to Posé, on the borders of Yunnan; to Lungchow, on the Tonking frontier.\n\nIt is surely to the interest of the Chinese Government, as well as the British, to develop the natural advantages of this wonderful network of waterways, and prevent its growing trade being diverted to the artificial channels of the French railway system.\n\nPage 2\n\nThe site selected by the Chinese authorities for the foreign Settlement at Nanning is on the right bank (city side), distant about a mile down river from the South Gate. It consists of an oblong tract of high ground - the highest ground in fact in the neighbourhood - and has a frontage of about 970 yards, with a depth of 390 yards. Not more than a quarter of this area is at present available for building purposes; the remainder consists of ponds which will have to be filled in, presumably at the expense of the Chinese Government. The proposed site is, in my opinion, open to two serious objections. In the first place, I do not think that a foreign Settlement is required at Nanning at all. As I have said before, it is extremely unlikely that foreign merchants will ever settle at Nanning; they will be represented by Chinese agents who will, of course, live in the city, where they will be in touch with the native hongs. At Wuchow there is no foreign Settlement and, after an experience of seven years, the necessity for one has not - as far as I am aware - made itself felt. The only foreigners who are likely to reside in Nanning when the port is opened, are the officials of the Imperial Maritime Customs and the foreign Consuls; these will have no difficulty in securing suitable building sites in such positions as they may find most convenient. In the second place, the proposed site is too far removed from the business centre of the city to be suitable as an anchorage for steamers and a landing-place for passengers. At Wuchow, the Customs, when the port was first opened, acquired land for the Custom House and offices below the town in much the same position as the site proposed at Nanning; this ground has never been built on, the Customs' offices are located on hulks, locally known as \"páis,\" moored in the river about half-a-mile above the Customs' property, and as the shipping trade of the port is obviously centring at the junction of the two rivers, it is an open question whether the Customs would not be well advised in removing their offices to the corner of the Fu Ho, where they would be in a position to easily control the steam traffic, both up river and down river. The conditions at Nanning are similar in many respects; launches will load and discharge their passengers and cargo alongside \"páis\" moored off the business suburb of the city, and the Customs, at any rate in the beginning, will doubtless find it convenient to locate their offices in the same neighbourhood.\n\nI ventured to express these opinions to the Taotai, and I added that should it become necessary to open the port at an early date I did not think the demarcation of a foreign Settlement area need be considered as an indispensable preliminary. I instanced the case of Yochow, where, I understand, the Chinese Government went to considerable expense in laying out a foreign Settlement, the necessity for which the trade of the port has not hitherto justified.\n\nThe Taotai concurred in my views, but gave me the impression that the provincial authorities were anxious to set apart this tract of ground as an international Settlement in order to prevent the French railway administration obtaining exclusive control over it at some future date. The proposed site for the railway terminus is, however, on the other side of the river.\n\nPage 3\n\nSection III - Steam Navigation on the West River above Wuchow.\n\nI will preface my remarks in this section by a short description of the waterways above Nanning. At San Chiang kou (Sam kong hau), about 25 miles beyond, the river again divides into two branches, the southern, called Tso Chiang (left river), leading to Taiping and Lungchow; the northern, called Yu Chiang (right river) to Posé. Lungchow is distant from Nanning 100 miles, but only 30 from Tong Dang, the present terminus of the Tonquin Railway. No steam-launches have yet succeeded in reaching the port, but I believe an attempt was to be made with a light-draught launch shortly after our visit to Nanning. The river is shallow, and obstructed by rocks and rapids. I understand, however, that the clearing of a channel suitable for light-draught steamers presents no engineering difficulties, and the merchants of Lungchow and Taiping would doubtless contribute liberally towards the expense of a work which would place them in regular steam communication with Nanning. The Posé branch, although the longer of the two, is reported to be navigable at high water for light-draught launches; in fact, a launch left Nanning for Posé while we were there, but was recalled at the instance of the Commissioner of Customs at Wuchow, as her owner had not obtained the necessary permit to run on inland waters hitherto unvisited by steamers. I am informed that the Po On Steam-launch Company, owners of a fleet of inland water launches on the river, applied for permission to run to Posé over a month ago, but no reply has yet been received from the Minister of Commerce. As the high-water season is now far advanced, this praiseworthy enterprise will have to be deferred to another year. Article 7 of the Additional Rules for Inland Water Navigation appended to the new Treaty says that in the case referred to the Chinese authorities shall at once give their approval.\" The present Report is, perhaps, not the place in which to discuss these new Regulations; I would, however, point out that both Articles 7 and 8 contain clauses which, if literally interpreted, will cause Launch Companies on the river considerable inconvenience. The referring, for instance, of applications to ply on inland waters exclusively to the Chinese Government - if by that term is meant the Ministry of Commerce - will seriously interfere with the launches at present plying between up-river ports, which must vary their runs according to the state of the river, and are constantly being withdrawn for repairs.\n\nDuring the high-water season, lasting from about April to September, launches drawing not more than 4 feet can reach Nanning. Four vessels, of which three are under the British flag, have been running regularly during the past summer.\n\nAs a typical example of the type of vessel employed, I give the dimensions of the \"Choyfat\": length, 75 feet; beam, 12 feet; tonnage (registered), 17; draught, 3 feet. These launches stop at all recognized passenger stations en route, and are invariably crowded with passengers. They make the journey from Wuchow to Nanning, under favourable circumstances, in four days, as against four weeks taken by a junk. So far, the launches carry hardly any cargo, nor do they tow cargo boats, the passenger trade is sufficiently remunerative. As steam towage is rapidly increasing on the lower river no doubt it will come into vogue on the upper river when the launch tonnage increases.\n\nBetween Kueihsien and Wuchow a regular daily service of passenger launches is maintained during about nine months in the year; at Konghau, the Kueihsien boat transfers her passengers to a larger boat for Wuchow. The Wuchow-Konghau launches run practically all the year round. To show the rapid growth of this passenger traffic during the last six years I append the following Table:\n\n  \n    [2156 3-4]\n  \n  \n    B 2\n  \n  \n    608\n  \n\nPage ...",

        "content_text": "6 \n\nof the Canton-Hankow (or Yueh Han) railroad. The \"Robin\" anchored here for half an hour, and two of them came on board. They informed me that the main line from Canton will join the North River at Pakkong-hau, just above the Fi-loy-tze gorge, and thence follow the river as far as Shao-chou-fu. The survey was commenced last February, and the work, hitherto carried on intermittently, is now being pushed on at the rate of about a mile a day. The actual construction of the line would, they said, be commenced as soon as the branch line to Samshui had been completed. The party, six in number, was accompanied by a Chinese official and a strong military guard; the country people were now on the whole friendly, and placed no serious obstacles in their way.\n\nAbove Wong-shek both banks of the river are lined with bamboo groves, as far as the Taimin-hap (\"Great Temple Pass\"), where the stream again winds between high hills and precipitous cliffs. Passing a few miles further on the Censer gorges, we reached at 1 o'clock the entrance to another famous pass, the Mong-sai-hap or Blind Boy Pass, so called from the striking profile of a face visible from certain points of view on a cliff at the left-hand side. Here the Lienchou River, the second principal tributary of the Pakkong, joins the main stream. At the junction lies the busy shipping port of Kong-hau.\n\nThe Lienchou River rises in the north-west corner of the province, near the Hunan border, and flows for some 120 miles through a mountainous country, inhabited by the Miao-tze aborigines, who still, to a great extent, secure in their inaccessible mountain homes, defy all the efforts of the Chinese to control or civilize them. They seldom come down to the North River, but they have been visited on several occasions by missionaries who speak well of their hospitality to foreigners.\n\nThe principal towns on the river are Lienchou, a prefectural city of some 50,000 inhabitants, the centre of trade in north-west Kuangtung, situated in a fertile plain; Yung-shan, district city; Taiwan and Howkong, the latter a large li-kin station with a bridge of boats.\n\nThe Roman Catholic missionaries have for some years past had stations all along the river, and recently the American Presbyterians have established themselves at Lienchou.\n\nAt 5 P.M. we passed the large limestone quarries of Lau-ti-wan, where blasting operations were in full swing. The stone is run down the sloping banks in wheel-barrows and discharged into junks, some thirty of which I counted moored along the river bank. Shortly afterwards, having successfully found our way through a shallow crossing opposite the quarries, we came in sight of the Yingtak pagoda on the right bank, and turning a corner to the left we steamed up to the district city of Yingtak, where at 6 P.M. the \"Robin\" anchored for the night.\n\n## Yingtak\n\nYingtak, a small walled town on the left bank, is picturesquely situated in an amphitheatre of rugged hills, just above a range of limestone cliffs, which, jutting out into the stream, form one of the numerous gates of the North River. Opposite the town, the Yung-yuen, or Copper River, joins the main stream: this tributary is navigable only for small boats, numbers of which, laden with charcoal, came floating down on the evening of our arrival and anchored in rows close by us. Yingtak was formerly the seat of the Government for this part of the province, and a noted Buddhist centre. It is now a busy shipping port, the present limit of regular steam navigation on the North River. Launches drawing not more than 4 feet can reach Yingtak under normal conditions from May to September. Below Yingtak the river, although shallow in places, presents no exceptional difficulties: navigation is not hampered by rocks and rapids as on the West River.\n\nI consider that two small light-draft stern-wheelers, able to carry about 200 passengers on a 3-foot draft, would pay well if placed on the run between Canton, Tsing-yuen, and Yingtak. They could, if necessary, run in connection with the Canton-Sanshui Railway, transferring passengers at Sainam.\n\nAbove Yingtak the river narrows considerably, and its navigability, even for native craft, depends entirely on the rainfall. We found a bar about a mile above Yingtak with less than 3 feet on it; on my return a week later, after a day's heavy rain, there was at least 10 feet in the same place. I do not think, therefore, that it would be possible to maintain a regular service to any point above Yingtak on remunerative lines; there seems to be no reason, however, why the Yingtak boats, of the type I have indicated, should not run to Shao-chou whenever the water permits, as the West River launches run to Nanning. Even when the railway is completed, I consider that river steamers will have a fair chance of holding their own. I am quite sure that these stern-wheelers would be well patronized by foreign passengers; many people in Hong Kong and Canton have assured me that they would jump at the chance of escaping from the heat of the delta and spend a few days among the breezy North River gorges. The Hong Kong, Canton, and Macao Steam-ship Companies, who are each year meeting with stronger competition on the Hong Kong line, might, I think, do worse than turn their attention to the North River.\n\nYingtak is a much smaller town than Tsing-yuen, but has some fair shops in the main street. Prominent among the foreign goods I noticed condensed milk, canned fruits, Japanese beer, and cigarettes, all imported from Canton. The district—a poor one, according to the Magistrate—produces rice, sugar, and bamboo. We were unable, as I shall explain later, to proceed the next day, so I took the opportunity to call with Captain Vaughan on the district Magistrate, Shih Yün-tuan, a native of Shansi. He sent his own chair and red umbrella to take us to the Yamên, returning our call immediately after in full uniform. He was very cordial in his manner, and evinced an intelligent interest in the \"Robin\"; as, however, he had only been a month at his post, the information I obtained from him on local affairs was not of much value.\n\nThe following morning, the water having fallen slightly during the night, we made an early start, but were obliged to return, as the \"Robin,\" drawing 2 ft. 8 in., was unable to cross the bar about a mile above the town. At the time we stranded, and throughout the day, large salt junks, drawing at least 3 feet, found their way across the bar, but our pilot being obviously unused to steamers, Captain Vaughan deemed it prudent to remain at Yingtak until a rise occurred. I took advantage of the delay to explore the town and surrounding country, meeting with no incivility from the people.\n\nDuring the night of the 9th July the clouds which had been gathering all day burst in a thunderstorm, followed by three hours' heavy rain. Next morning the river had risen 15 inches, so we made a fresh start, and this time succeeded in crossing the bar without difficulty, although the pilot twice put the \"Robin\" ashore a few miles higher up. For some miles above Yingtak the river flows between high banks through a fertile country, sown with rice and sugar cane. At 10 A.M. we passed Mong-fu-kong, a village with a pawnshop on the right bank. On the summit of a hill behind the town there is said to be a small lake, indicating the crater of an extinct volcano. Another hour's run brought us to the celebrated Kuan-yin-shan, and the cave temples dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy. On the left bank a wall of rock, covered with dense foliage, rises almost perpendicularly from the water's edge to a height of some 600 feet. At the foot a stone stairway leads into the caverns which pierce the cliff in all directions. The main shrine of the temple is visible some 100 feet up the face of the cliff. We had no time to visit this interesting spot, but steamed on past a series of limestone quarries, the largest at Pak-shek-hui on the right bank.\n\nAt Sha-hau, 22 miles above Yingtak, the Canton salt junks tranship their cargoes for Shao-chou during the low-water season. At 6.30 P.M. we anchored for the night amid really magnificent mountain scenery, just above the small town of Wu-shek. Starting again at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 11th July, the river slowly rising, we passed through another striking gorge, called the Tantze-ki or Cannon Ball barrier, where the cliffs rise even higher than at Kuan-yin-shan. Here man has not interfered with Nature—there are no shrines, and the tall cliffs afford a nesting place to innumerable birds.\n\nAt Pakto, a large village on the left bank, the Yü-yuen or Lung-kwai River joins the main stream. This river flows down through a mountainous region inhabited by several large tribes of aborigines. An interesting account of the people will be found in Dr. Henry's \"Ling Nam,\" above referred to. The principal productions of the Lung-kwai district are maize, bamboo, and charcoal. In the hills above Pakto coal can be seen outcropping in many places; the deposits were formerly worked, but have now been abandoned.\n\nAt 1 P.M. we reached Shao-chou (locally known as Shiu-kuan), the principal city in Northern Kuangtung, and our destination on the present occasion. The \"Robin\" anchored opposite the West Gate (on the left branch of the river) about half a mile above the ruined fort which lies at the junction of the two streams.\n\nThe prefectural city of Shao-chou is finely situated in the angle formed by the junction of the Ching or Clear River with the North River. The former stream leads to Lok-ch'eng and the Chi Ling Pass into Hunan; the latter to Nam-heung, and the Mei-ling Pass into Kiangsi. Both waterways, being impeded by rapids, are unnavigable for any but light-draft junks. Shiu-kuan has for centuries been an important Customs barrier: a bridge of boats stretched across the river on both sides facilitates the collection of duties.\n\nFrom an intelligent employé of the native Customs (Ch'ang-kuan) I learnt that the receipts from both li-kin and native Customs have greatly fallen off during recent years, partly owing to the diversion of trade to the sea route, partly owing to the increased use of transit passes for articles such as kerosene oil and cotton yarn. My informant estimated the annual...\n\nPage 360\nPage 361",

        "content_text": "## Shan States under Chinese Rule\n\nThe many Chinese settlers in his territory. This State, with the exception of the outlying town of Manwyne, which came into the family by marriage, is poor. The main valley is only 9 miles by 2-3 miles, but the side valley of Man Tung, situated beyond the hills to the east, is larger and richer.\n\nThe Nan Tien Sawbwa is thought to be at the bottom of the intrigues which the Chinese have started against his neighbour of Kangai.\n\nKangai, which includes the richest part of the Taping Valley, is situated between Nan Tien and the frontier. The clan name is also Tao. The old Sawbwa, who is about 55 years of age, is supposed to have abdicated according to Shan custom in favour of his son, a man of about 30, who represents the twenty-eighth generation in a direct line from the first Sawbwa. Both father and son are men of intelligent and benevolent disposition, who, considering the circumstances, govern their State well. They are both, but especially the father, devout Buddhists. The State is rich, but is sometimes subject to destructive inundations.\n\nThe main Tengyueh-Bhamo trade route passes straight through Kangai and Nan Tien. There are not many Kachins in this State, and those few give but little trouble. The main Kangai Valley is about 35 miles long by 4-5 miles broad.\n\n### 3. Chanta, or Santa\n\nThis includes a small portion of the Taping Valley on the right bank and a section of hill country behind it to the north. The Sawbwa is a child. His father was robbed and then executed some years ago by the Tengyueh official on a false charge of treason with the British. The government of the State has since been in disorder. The Kachins in the Santa Hills are under no sort of control.\n\n### 1. Laksa and Hosa\n\nThese are two small States in an upland valley at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet, along and above the east side of the Taping Valley; the beautiful Lahsa-Hosa Valley is watered by the Nau Sa, a small tributary of the Taping. The inhabitants are not Shan; they have a language of their own, and are known as Ashang. They are probably of Maru Kachin origin, with an admixture of Chinese and possibly of Burmese blood. They have attained a considerable standard of civilization, and are both industrious and peaceable; they have a great reputation as blacksmiths, and go down to Burmah to seek work. The Hosa Sawbwa is a minor; the Lahsa is an old man who has four sons, the eldest of whom manages his affairs; the administration is not bad, but the Sawbwa has little authority, and both ends of the valley are subject to Kachin raids. There is a fair path down the valley and through to Burmah, but it is only used by local traffic. The valley is some 30 miles long by 2-3 miles broad.\n\n## (B) Shan States in the Shweli or Lung Chiang Valley, on the right bank\n\nThe Shweli is an important affluent of the Irrawaddy; it rises to the north of Tengyueh, and joins the main river from the left side, near Ratha, in Burmah.\n\n### 5. Meng Wan\n\nThis is the basin of the Nam Wan, a small tributary of the Shweli. The valley is over 30 miles long and 5-6 miles broad at the broadest part; it is very fertile, but malarious; the administration was for years in the hands of the mother of the present Sawbwa, a young man of 23, who took over the Government four years ago. Since then the condition of the State has been going from bad to worse. The young Sawbwa is drunken, licentious, violent, and superstitious. He harbours quacks, gamblers, and criminals from Burmah and other places, while the numerous Kachins on both sides of his valley are under no sort of control. They are constantly thieving and cattle-lifting on the British side. Several large Kachin villages above the north-east of the valley have openly revolted and expelled the lawful Shan owners from the rice fields, which they are now cultivating themselves, without paying any taxes. In 1903 the Chinese Commandant of the frontier regiment, Ma Wu Hsiang, a Panthay, was stationed at the Sawbwa's residence for some time, and composed matters; but this season I find that the young Sawbwa has again begun his reckless courses, he has been taking medicines which are supposed to render him bullet-proof, he has shot several persons in a drunken fit, and he has taken to seizing Kachin maidens and confining them in his harem for some time, a proceeding which demonstrates both his imprudence and his bad taste. Further disorders may be expected, and the Tengyueh officials do nothing to restore order. This State is consequently poor. A secondary trade route from Burmah to Tengyueh runs the length of the valley. The Meng Wan Sawbwa's principal wife is a daughter of Nan Tien.\n\n### 6. Meng Mao\n\nThis State is situated along the right bank of the Shweli above the confluence of the Nara Wan. It consists of some hill-land and a rich valley, some 27 miles by 5 miles, a large part of which is uncultivated. The hills at the back of the town between the State and Meng Wan are thickly populated by Kachins, who are under no sort of control, and levy blackmail or pillage in the valley. The Sawbwa, a man of about 30, is weak but not vicious; he cannot make much headway against his Kachins, and he has scanty resources in the way of money, but he has recently shown some activity in his administration. This State is off the main route; the town of Meng Mao (about 250 houses) has an old wall, and in the Burmah wars of the middle ages is said to have been the headquarters of a Taotai.\n\n## (C) Shan States in the Shweli Valley, on the left bank\n\n### 7. Chefang or Sefang\n\nThis State is limitrophe with the British Northern Shan States; it consists of the lower part of the basin of the Meng Kwan River, a tributary of the Shweli and of the surrounding hills, which are inhabited by very unruly Kachins. Even the main valley (20 miles by 4) is poor and thinly populated as it is subject to had inundations, and, even in the dry season, consists mainly of a reed-covered swamp. The Sawbwa is a man about 30, of the same original stock as the princely families of Meng Mao and Meng Wan; the administration of the State is fairly good; none of the Chinese Sawbwas has worse Kachins or makes such serious efforts to control them. The late father of the present Sawbwa was a believer in drastic measures, and it is said that he used to boil his Kachins in oil, or roast them over slow fires, in order to persuade them to better courses. An important trade route from Burmah, the Ruby Mines, and the Shan States to West Yünnan leads straight through the Chefang Valley. The road is well maintained, and, in spite of the Kachins, serious robberies hardly ever take place along it.\n\n### 8. Meng Kwan\n\nMeng Kwan, or, in Chinese, Mang Shih, situated north of Chefang, comprises the valley of the Upper Nam Kwan River and the hills surrounding it. The main valley of this State, which on the east is limitrophe with the Chinese sub-Prefecture of Lung Ling, is some 16 miles by & in extent, and is both fertile and densely populated. With the possible exception of Kangai, the State is considered to be the richest near the border. Near the Sawbwa's residence there is a considerable bazaar resorted to by numerous Chinese caravans in the cold weather. The main Burmah Chefang-Lung Ling road goes through the State. The town, like all Shan towns (which are merely large villages), has a dilapidated appearance; lean pigs, ruined pagodas, heaps of cow-dung, majestic pipul trees, mean mud or bamboo wattle huts, lofty bamboo groves, and slatternly women exuding betel chew from their dirty mouths. This valley is very feverish; the hills round it, however, have been settled by Chinese from West Yunnan, and there are but few Kachins. The Sawbwa (clan name Fang) is a young man, weak and superstitious Buddhist, but his rule is not oppressive. The Sawbwa and the State have recently been brought to the brink of ruin by the \"squeezing\" operations of the Chinese Mandarins, of which I shall speak later at length.\n\n### 9. Meng Ting\n\nMeng Ting is another State further to the south, to which I may refer, though it does not otherwise come within the purview of this report. Meng Ting comprises the low-lying valley of the Nam Ting River which joins the Salwen from the east at Kunlong ferry. The State is a small one and is in a condition of disorder owing to the neglect of the Chinese, the incompetence of the Sawbwa, and the influence of the bad counsellors by whom he is surrounded. Notorious dacoits are constantly harboured in this State, and the Sawbwa is always quarrelling with his neighbours. Representations concerning Meng Ting have been made at Yunnan-fu, and a Chinese Deputy has been sent, who will meet the British Superintendent of the Northern Shan States, and endeavour to settle outstanding cases, and to suggest some means for the better government of the State in the future. If the Kunlong Railway ever materializes, it will run along this valley which is marshy, tropical, and malarious.\n\nThe population of the Shan States under China can only be given in the form of a rough approximation to the number of families who pay taxes and are supposed to ...\n\nPage 422",

Satow to the Marquess of Lansdowne.--(Received April 22.)\n\nPeking, March 9, 1905.\n\n**(No. 79.)** My Lord,\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose copy of the note which I have addressed to the Chinese Government in accordance with the instructions conveyed to me in your Lordship's despatch No. 270 of the 7th October, 1904, informing them that His Majesty's Government will continue to regard as the provisional boundary the line laid down by Mr. (now Sir George) Scott in 1900, and intimating that Chinese officials and troops cannot be allowed to transgress it.\n\nIn my note, I have laid stress on the fact that the Chinese Government had taken no notice of the information I had furnished to them regarding the false map produced by the Chinese Commissioners. In my earlier note of the 12th May, 1901, I had offered to show a copy of it to Prince Ching, together with the photo-lithographic reproduction of the genuine one signed by Lord Rosebery and the Chinese Minister in 1894. The Foreign Board borrowed both from this Legation in June 1904 for examination and returned them after three days without remark. The manner in which Prince Ch'ing's note of the 17th June, 1904, ignored this point seems to show that the Chinese Government had no explanation to offer of the attempt at fraud practised by their Commissioner.\n\nAs your Lordship's instructions left me free to take a suitable opportunity of making this communication to the Chinese Government, I deferred doing so until the arrangements with respect to the dispatch of British and Chinese officials to make a conjoint examination of the undelimited northern portion of the frontier were completed. As Mr. Litton and the Acting Taotai Shih left Têngyüeh some days ago for that purpose, it seemed to me that there was no danger of the Chinese Government confusing the two questions in their own minds, and I therefore proceeded to carry out your Lordship's instructions.\n\nI presume that the Lieutenant-Governor of Burmah will be able to exercise some sort of supervision over the provisional frontier constituted by Sir George Scott's line and to report any instance of its transgression by Chinese troops or officials.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**ERNEST SATOW.**\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n#### Sir E. Satow to the Wai-mu Pu,\n\nPeking, March 7, 1905.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform your Highness that I duly transmitted to His Majesty's Government your reply of the 17th June, 1904, in which you asked that officers might be appointed to effect a joint demarcation of the southern portion of the frontier between Burmah and China, stretching from the confluence of the river Nam Hpa (alias Nam Hsang) on the north to the cairn erected at the point where the demarcated section of the southern boundary commences.\n\nIn my note of the 12th May, I recounted the incidents that occurred during the proceedings of the Frontier Commission in the winter of 1899-1900, when the Chinese Commissioners produced a map which they stated had been furnished to them by the Tsung-li Yamen. Having a facsimile copy in my possession, I offered to show it to Your Highness, in comparison with that signed in London by Lord Rosebery and his Excellency Sieh. I further pointed out that, as the Chinese Commissioners had persisted in being guided by a map which was not that signed by his Excellency Sieh, no agreement was possible.\n\nAfter long discussions and delays, the British Commissioner intimated that, if the Chinese Commissioners refused to be guided by the Convention, he must complete the...",

As regards the position, at any rate, of the British posts there can, I imagine, be no secrecy, and our claim to \"Scott's Line\" is independent of the question of actual administration.\n\nTing Ta-jèn would, I gather, be prepared to consider suggestions for concerted action against the Wa, though his inclination is to regard the Wa Hills as a district independent both of Yunnan and of Burmah, much as the Lolo country on the left bank of the Yang-tze, opposite Chao-t'ung Prefecture, is, in effect, independent both of Szechuan and of Yunnan. It has not, apparently, occurred to him that the acceptance by his Government of \"Scott's Line\" would make Burmah liable for all damages caused by Wa forays into Yünnan territory.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \nW. H. WILKINSON,\n\n## Return showing the Stations of the Regular and the Local Battalions of Chenpien\n\n(Translation.)\n\n1. The Pu-ting Front Battalion (\"ying\").—The Centre, Rear, and Left Companies (\"shao\"), are stationed at the main camp of Nan-ch'a; the Front Company at Chan-ma-p'o; the Right Company at Nan-tai.\n\n2. The Pu-ting Left Battalion.—The Centre and Left Companies are posted on the bank of the Na-cha-t River, in Mien-ning Sub-Prefecture; the Right Company at San-ch'a-lu (\"Three Cross Roads\"); the Front Company at Chenpien; the Rear Company at Ssü-mao.\n\n3. The Chingpien Local Battalion.—The Centre Company is stationed at the main camp of Nan-wa; the Left Company at Siao (\"Lesser\") An-kang; the Right Company at Shang (\"Upper\") Kai-hsin; the Front Company at Chenpien Town; while the Rear Company is partly at Tien-pa, partly at the Nan-pen Hill.\n\nNOTE.—These three battalions were stationed at the above posts (from Nan-ch'a to the Nan-pen Hill) after the foray of the Wa last winter.\n\n4. The Pu-ting Right Battalion.—One picket (\"p'eng\") of the Centre Company is stationed at Chenpien Town; the remaining four pickets of this company are at Leng-k'an. The Left Company is stationed at Man-law; the Right at Kung-hsin; the Front at Hsi-ming; the Rear at Lung-k'an.\n\n[NOTE.—This battalion was stationed at the above posts (from Chenpien Town to Lung-k'an) previous to the Wa foray of last winter.]\n\n### Notes by Translator\n\n1. P'u-ting is the name of the battalion, derived from the \"P'u\" of Pu-erh (the Prefecture in which Ssü-mao is situated) and \"ting\" (to settle); so Chingpien comes from \"ching\" (to tranquillize) and \"pien\" (the frontier).\n\n2. Battalions (\"ying\") in the Chinese Army are distinguished as (a) \"chung\" (the centre); (b) \"tso\" (the left); (c) \"yu\" (the right); (d) \"chien\" (the front); (e) \"hou\" (the rear).  \n   Each battalion contains five companies (\"shao\"), similarly distinguished. In the same way, each company is divided into five pickets (\"p'eng\").  \n   Properly speaking, a battalion should consist of 500 men; so that a company should number 100 and a picket 20. In Yunnan Province, 70 men are reckoned to the company, and often only 10 to the picket. The numbers actually employed, moreover, would vary with the venality of the Commanding Officer.\n\nPage 356\n\n3. Nan-ch'a will be found marked (as Nan-cha) in both Chinese and English on Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10 to the `Report on the Work of the Burmah-China Boundary Commission, Season 1899-1900` (Political Department, No. `B.C. 1900—7`).  \n   Chan-ma-p'o I can find on none of the maps in my archives, unless, as is most probable, it is to be identified with Cha-ma-p'o in `Survey of India, Yunnan Province`, Sheet No. 4 S.E. (Reg. No. `797-8./03`), at about latitude 22° 52′ north, longitude 99° 45′ east.  \n   Nan-tai I cannot discover.  \n   Mien-ning Sub-Prefecture is adjacent to Chenpien Sub-Prefecture, on the north. It should be shown on Sheet No. 12 N.W., which is not in my archives.  \n   San-ch'a-lu cannot be identified here.  \n   Nan-wa appears as in Inclosure No. 10 and as in Inclosure No. 4 (latitude 23°, longitude 99° 50′). An An-kang is marked just below it (as in Inclosure No. 10, and as in Inclosure No. 4. There is another An-kang north-east of Nan-ch'a (see tracing of the map of Chenpien Sub-Prefecture, inclosed with my despatch No. 11, Burmah, of 1905); but the \"Lesser An-kang\" of the Return is probably that of Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10.  \n   Shang Kai-hsin will be found on the same tracing of the Sub-Prefecture, due north of Chenpien Town, and in latitude 23° 14′.  \n   Tien-pa is almost certainly the Tien-pa of Captain Renny-Tailyour's `Rough Map to accompany the Commissioner's Report` (Political Department, `B.C. 1900—7`), in latitude 22° 41', longitude 99° 54′.  \n   The Nan-pen Hill I cannot identify.  \n   Leng-k'an is marked almost due north of Meng-ma on Inclosure No. 10. Man-law appears on the map of Chenpien immediately to the north of Shang Kai-hsin, of which it may be a Shan or Lolo equivalent.  \n   Kung-hsin is marked on the same map in the angle between the Nam-ma and Nam-kha Rivers. It is probably the Kawn-hin of Sheet No. 4 S.E.  \n   Hsi-ming is the well-known Mong-hka (see Report of the Boundary Commission, as above, and compare Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10).  \n   Lung-k'an I cannot discover.\n\nA reference to Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10 of the Boundary Commission Report for 1900 will show that, out of the places identified as above, two at least—namely, Hsi-ming (Mong-hka) and Leng-k'an (probably the Lon-kham of Sheet No. 4 S.E.)—lie to the west of \"Scott's Line.\" In other words, the Chinese are certainly maintaining military posts, though of no great strength, in part of the territory claimed for Burmah.\n\nIt is only right to add, however, that these posts are on the east of the frontier as claimed by the Chinese Commissioners in 1900, and that \"Scott's Line\" has never been admitted, even as a provisional boundary, by the Governments of China and Yunnan.\n\n(Signed)  \nW.

        "content_text": "## 20\n\nThe area is uninhabitable for an average distance of 6 to 8 miles from the crest. This range divides all the Kachins (on the Burmah side) from all the Chinese (on the Yunnon side). Further, all the Lisu, with the exception of a few scattered hamlets, and all the Lu Tzu would be on the Chinese side. Moreover, the frontier proposed is already recognized as such by the natives all along the line, even in the case of the Pien Ma people, who, while recognizing themselves as tributary to Teng Keng, still regard the watershed as the frontier between them and China proper.\n\n3. We find that the adoption of any other frontier would be highly detrimental to the interests of Burmah and in the long run scarcely less injurious to China. Chinese territorial claims on the N'Maikha side could not be recognized without forming an enclave where all the discontented, restless, or criminal spirits could find a safe refuge beyond the reach of the British Government. This would greatly increase the expense and difficulty of even a partial administration. Such an enclave would have to be surrounded by a line of forts, maintained at heavy cost. That the Yunnan Government will not, indeed cannot, reduce its tribes to order is not a matter of speculation, but of actual experience, witness the Blamo frontier, where considerable tracts on the China side are under no sort of control and Burmah has to maintain a military police force to an extent which, so far as the British Kachins are concerned, would be wholly unnecessary.\n\nIf Yunnan cannot control these Kachins, who are close to the main trade routes and adjacent to Tengyueh, what likelihood is there that any serious steps would be taken by the Mandarins to establish order in the distant N'Maikha basin, especially when even the pretence of a military force in West Yunnan has been abandoned? This being the case, to recognize their claims would be to involve them in constant difficulties with regard to frontier disputes. What the Chinese really want is precisely what we ought not to concede, namely, that we should save their face by recognizing their claims and they should nevertheless not be put to any expense or trouble in order to control or to police the country claimed; in other words, that we should admit their full rights of sovereignty without expecting them to fulfil any of its duties. The Taotai assures me that the Fu Yi will guarantee the good behaviour of the tribes and that he will guarantee the good behaviour of the Fu Yi; but this does not improve matters; it is simply Bardolph going bail for Falstaff. I should, like the tailor, want better assurance.\n\n4. We suggest that there is now quite sufficient information to enable a frontier to be laid down at Peking or London, and therefore recommend that His Majesty's Government should not consent to dispatch any further parties for inquiry or delimitation, except possibly to lay down boundary pillars when the frontier has been accepted by China. We further recommend that no further discussion with the Chinese as to what the boundary is to be should be entertained after the results of the present inquiry, with the map, have been laid before them. The negotiations, if any, should be confined to the presentation of a draft Convention in which the only matter for discussion is the amount and mode of payment of the compensation to be made by Burmah for Teng Keng's claims; or, in the alternative, if the Chinese refuse to sign such a Convention, to a declaration that the water-divide is the line which we intend to regard as the frontier in future.\n\n5. As regards payment, we suggest that not only the revenue actually obtained by Teng Keng should be considered, but also the value to the Government of Burmah of a speedy settlement. A payment of 500 rupees per annum will, in fact, more than compensate for the discontinuance of present actual receipts, but it will be well worth while to pay 1,000 rupees, or even a few hundreds more, to obtain an immediate acceptance of the line proposed.\n\nWhile the convenience of paying a lump sum to extinguish the claims once and for all may be admitted, it will probably on the whole be preferable to pay an annuity to the Chinese Headmen, which they would receive quamdiu se bene gesserint. If after a settlement had been reached they molested or caused disorder among the people on the N'Maikha side, payment could be withheld, whereas if a lump sum had been paid we should have no further hold over them. Moreover, the Chinese are more likely to be willing to accept an annual payment than a lump sum, as the latter might be regarded as a transaction for the sale of Celestial land. The money could be paid via the Consul and the Taotai to the Chinese Headmen in such proportions as the Taotai might direct, though, as a fact, Teng Keng is the only man who has any claims to a single rupee.\n\n6. We recommend that every effort, by simultaneous and continuous pressure both at Peking and Yunnan, should be made to induce the Chinese Government to accept the watershed frontier.\n\n## 21\n\n7. If they consent to this, there seem no reasons why the Government of Burmah should be in any hurry to administer the country, but it might possibly be advisable to send a small expedition to establish friendly relations with the Lashi Headmen along the Ngaw Chang, Kan Sheng, and Pien Ma Rivers, and to explain to them that henceforth they are not subject to China, and that the Chinese Headmen have no right to molest them.\n\n8. If the Chinese still refuse to abandon their pretensions, then it will be for the Government of Burmah to consider whether the advance of British administration, or at least of control, along the N'Maikha should not be accelerated. The only argument against this (but it is a weighty one) is the expense; on the other hand, it is clear that sooner or later this expense will have to be undertaken. The people at present seem friendly to us on the N'Maikha side, and there appears for the moment to be little danger of Chinese intrigues. It is therefore probable that the sooner the task is taken up, the less expensive it will be. Further, the sooner the country comes under British control, the sooner the question of the frontier will be finally settled and the danger of friction with the Chinese avoided. It may be argued and admitted that the territory in dispute is of no immediate or intrinsic value, and that there is no necessity to take immediate action, or even that graceful concessions may be made to the Chinese in respect of it; it is—\n\n\"a little patch of ground  \nThat hath in it no profit but the name.  \nTo pay  \nfive ducats, five, I would not farm it;  \nNor will it yield to Norway or the Pole  \nA ranker rate should it be sold in fee.\"\n\nThe reply is that, in considering a frontier, attention has to be paid to the possibilities of the distant future, and not merely to the political convenience of the moment. While the territory is intrinsically worthless, it is of much importance in matters of this kind. Graceful concessions in relation to the future administration of a vast tract of country have never helped us with the Chinese; besides, to yield on this point would be to confer on our Celestial friends a damnosa hereditas.\n\nOn the whole, we submit that no time should be lost in taking such action as will place beyond all doubt or possibility of future question the principle that the whole of the basin of the Irrawaddy up to the Salween divide is within the sphere of Indian influence. To secure this, it will not be necessary to touch any of the country west of the N'Maikha, nor on the east of that river, to set up an administration so precise as that which now exists in the Kachin Hills near Bhamo. All that seems to be called for is some improvement of the principal line of communication from the Shi Ngaw River, first to the Chi Pwi, then to the line of the Kan Sheng-Ngaw Chang, and then along the Ngaw Chang, all this country being gradually brought within the sphere of the Civil Officer's tour, and special attention being paid to establishing good relations with the Hparè, Lung Pang, and Pien Ma Headmen, who are nearest to China.\n\nIf these ends could be attained without fighting, there would, perhaps, be no present necessity for establishing a military post, which could not be done without great expense, especially for rationing. The country beyond and to the north of Ngaw Chang, which is inhabited by wild Marus, is so far from any Chinese influences that its administration may probably in any case be indefinitely postponed.\n\nIt is true that past experience among other Kachins goes to show that this tract could not be brought under control without military operations. But I may observe that most of the serious collisions which have occurred in the Kachin country, such as at Sima, Sadôn, and Matang in the early '90's, or at Hparè in 1900, were the immediate outcome of intrigues directed from the Tengyueh yamêns by Chinese officials. Now that so responsible an official as a Taotai is at Tengyueh in charge of frontier affairs, it is less likely that we shall have to anticipate difficulties of that kind; at least the Consular officers now established in Yünnan would probably be able to detect any such conspiracy. For the present, I anticipate nothing of the kind, and that is another reason why the opportunity seems favourable for an advance of British control up the N'Maikha; later on, the Mandarins may begin their old tricks again, for their real character remains ever the same, Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret. Further, the Kachins now understand better what British control means, and are less likely to resent it, and less likely to listen to the Chinese.\n\n9. If the limit of our control is pushed north, it may be advisable to remember that the upper waters of the N'Maikha are auriferous, perhaps highly auriferous. Until expert opinion has been obtained on the point, it would be well to abstain from granting any extensive concessions in this country.\n\nPage 443  \nPage 450  \nPage 451",

        "content_text": "## 36\n\nbefore me, and they stated in evidence to me: \"Hparè, Tzu Chu, Shih Jang, To Yo, Pa Yang, Tu Mu, had been previously subject to the control of the Fu Yi Yung and Tso. Formerly the Fu Yi presented us with oxen, wine, and ornaments, and on another occasion with spades, ploughs, and axes, ordering the villages to commence cultivation, but, as they had not yet succeeded in doing so, no report had been made of the acreage or of the crops produced. The official residences of the Fu Yi used to be in Hparè and Tzu Chu; later, on account of disturbances, they moved over into Chinese territory. Since then, although the Fu Yi never come in person, the villagers, every three or five years, get presents of oxen, wine, &c., and their relations with the Chinese are amicable, nor are there any feuds between them. The villagers had resided there all their lives, but had never stated that the pass was the frontier, or that they were not subject to the Fu Yi.\" \n\nThis was their evidence, and they executed a voluntary bond to this effect, signing the same by finger-marks. Thus, if we are to take the evidence given to the Deputy Commissioner as a proof of the facts, the evidence and the bond submitted to me must be equally good proof.\n\nThe certificates of succession which are in the hands of the Fu Yi have been examined by me, and really bear the seals of the Board; they are not forgeries. Nor are the certificates themselves the only proof, for the fact of their issue may also be found set forth in the provincial \"Gazetteer.\" These certificates are the title-deeds of succession, and they are not issued without definite and recorded proof of the genealogical descent; besides, these certificates go back to an old date, before Burmah was subject to your Government. Now how can you, in these latter days, when the question of the frontier has arisen, claim to occupy further territory on such grounds as these?\n\nIt is the fact that Hparè and Tzu Chu are distant about 100 li from Ming Kwang, but in Yünnan the country is extensive and the population scanty. When the natives once shift their place of residence, it is quite usual that they should move to a distance of several hundred li. Thus we must not, on the mere ground that these Fu Yi have moved to a comparatively distant place, doubt that these villages were their ancient inheritance. Again, the villages controlled by Tso Fu Yi have a mixed population of Chinese and barbarians, but Yang Fu Yi, having removed his residence to Chung Tan (in Lower Ming Kwang), is surrounded by villages wholly inhabited by Chinese, without any barbarians; thus he has none of the tribesmen under his immediate control, and his may be considered a title borrowed from former times. His name of Fu Yi does not agree with the facts, but that Tzu Chu and Hparè were formerly governed by these Fu Yi is a matter which admits of no doubt, therefore it cannot be said that I have, so to say, forced these villages into a position in Ming Kwang.\n\nThen, again, you describe the results of Mr. Leveson's and your investigations as to the history and conditions of Pieu Ma, and the Ngaw Chang and Khan Sheng Rivers as given by the Headman, who stated that they have never been subject to China. You remark that, while the statements of the Headmen cannot be altogether accepted, the statements of the Fu Yi to the effect that they reduced this country to subjection are still less to be credited.\n\nBut I find that the story of the expedition by the Fu Yi to the Ngaw Chang does not merely rest on the personal statement of those Chiefs, but in a joint Memorial by the Boards of Civil Office and of Revenue in the days of Chia Ching, it is set forth that a Chinese General, Hsieh, led troops in a punitive expedition against the rebels of Chen Ka, that subsequently the Fu Yi joined the expedition and gained credit by subduing the country, and finally that the country was divided up among them. The Chiefs also have sealed documents which are evidence of this division.\n\n* Villages on the Khan Sheng and Ngaw Chang Rivers.\n† This is all nonsense; these villages have numerous ricefields, though they were not started through the Fu Yi's orders.\n‡ There is no evidence whatever that the Fu Yi ever lived over the watershed; if they had they would have left some traces. The natives, too, deny it.\n§ This interview appears to be a fabrication; at any rate we heard nothing of it till this despatch. See my note to the Taotai.\n¶ See my note to the Taotai.\n|| Lit. \"Cherisher of barbarians.\"\n** The Taotai does not assert that there is now any effective control.\n†† Early nineteenth century.\n‡‡ Upper Salween.\n§§ Veracity is not a leading characteristic of Chinese Generals or of Chinese documents.\n\n## 37\n\nThe statements made by the Headmen in response to your inquiries, namely, that it was simply a case of feuds and fights between the Chinese and the tribes and that then presents were exchanged in order to make peace, but that the country was never under the government of Chinese officials—these statements, I say, seem to rest on traditions which in the course of long years have departed from the real facts; we cannot put our faith in such traditions in preference to the proofs afforded by official documents. Besides, the Teng Keng Headman even now collects a house tax and a \"kang\" or toll; I need hardly point out at length that this affords precise evidence that he administers the country.\n\nThen you state that all along the west bank of the Lu-Chiang or Salween the inhabitants are Lisu, and that to the west of the great snowy range, between the Salween and the Irrawaddy, are the Langsu (Marus); these latter, you say, have hitherto been independent and have no intercourse with the Lisu. I would remark that the Kachins and other tribes have their seats in the remote hills and valleys. Their manners are rude and barbarous. Not only is it the case that when divided by rivers and ranges they have no communication with each other, but even households situated within sight of each other have no intercourse. The Lisu and Langsu are two different tribes; that they should have no intercourse is therefore to be expected, and it would seem that this circumstance is not to be taken as a proof in itself that these people are under no control.\n\nThen you state that the Gazetteers of Yung Chang and Tengyueh, together with the provincial map and provincial Gazetteer, all give the Kachin Hills or the water-parting as the boundary, and you quote the despatch of my Foreign Office which states that there is no such river as the Naikha.\n\nBut these wild frontier districts are rarely visited by man, and the Gazetteers do not contain full details about them. Thus, for instance, the Nampaung Stream, the western boundary of Tengyueh, and the Nam Yang River, the south boundary of Tengyueh, are not mentioned in the Gazetteers; it cannot be said, therefore, that they are not in China. Further, when the Gazetteer states that the north-west frontier (of Tengyueh) reaches to the boundary of the Lashi (Cha Shan) Kachins, it implies that such part of the Lashi country as is under the jurisdiction of our titled Chiefs is excluded (from the independent country). Now Hparè and Tzu Chu are situated in the Lashi country, but they are also our chieftainships. Tengyueh is given by the Gazetteer as Nan Tien, and the south-west as Kangai; yet Kangai and Nan Tien are none the less Chinese dependencies. When I suggest that the Ngaw Chang is the boundary of the jurisdictions of our Chiefs, I mean the same as when it is said that the Nampaung and Nam Yang Rivers are the frontiers of our Sawbwas.\n\nAgain, in Yunnan there are numerous mountains, and water-divides consequently occur in every direction. Thus, along the borders of the Tengyueh and Yung Chang districts, and in the Yung Lung territory, there are numerous water-partings. It seems, therefore, that we cannot insist that a particular watershed is the boundary of civilized and uncivilized country.\n\nThen you go on to remark that possession of both banks of the Lu Chiang (Upper Salween) is a matter of the greatest importance to West Yunnan, and that though at present this country has not been developed, it should, in the future, be subject to the control of Yunnan, and that the Government of Burmah would have no objection to this. I must express my sincere gratification that your inquiries have led you to so clear and just a conclusion. But you proceed to state that from the source of the Ming Kwang River the frontier-line should directly ascend to the crest of the snowy range known as the Kao Li Kung, and follow this range north to Thibet; that all the country in the basin of the Shweli and the Lu Chiang (or Upper Salween) should be controlled by Yunnan, and all the country in the basin of the Irrawaddy by Burmah; and that no other suitable frontier can be delimited except along the line of this watershed.\n\nBut if we accept the frontier you propose, our Chiefs will lose a large tract of the country which they control. Now the Ngaw Chang has already been recognized by the Chinese Fu Yi as the limit of civilized (i.e., of Chinese government). If we take the Ngaw Chang as the frontier, that will be as natural a boundary and as easy to distinguish as the line which you claim.\n\n* But he does not administer it.\n† The relevancy of this is not clear.\n‡ I added that full possession of the Irrawaddy basin was equally important to Burmah.\n§ This is a possible line, but not a natural one, in the same sense as the main divide; further, its acceptance would cause much expense and inconvenience to Burmah and to Yunnan.\n\nPage 451 \n\n[2167-1]",

        "content_text": "## Inclosure 16 in No. 1\n### Acting Consul Litton to Taotai Shih\n\n(Tengyueh, June 3, 1905.)\n\nI had the honour yesterday to receive your most lucid reply to my despatch on the subject of the northern frontier; the energetic manner in which your Honour on this occasion braved the inclement weather and the difficulties of the country, quite regardless of fatigue, in your zeal for the public service, has excited my sincere respect.\n\nYou rightly state that we neither of us had power to delimit this northern section of the frontier, and therefore cannot on our own responsibility make any definite promises regarding it.\n\nBut I fear there were one or two points in my despatch which I did not make quite clear. As this may cause some misunderstanding, I must address you some further explanations.\n\nIn your reply to me, in the first place you speak of the N'Maikha River as not being subject to the control of Myitkyina in Burmah. But in fact the Myitkyina official has administered the lower reaches of the N'Maikha for a distance of over 30 miles, and for the last ten years; the people pay taxes, and there is a military post (Loi Ngu) near the river. It is true that the upper part of the N'Maikha is not administered, but the native tribes come and make representations about their affairs to the Deputy Commissioner, and he deals with them. Thus it cannot be said that the N'Maikha is not controlled by Burmah.\n\nAgain, referring to your Headmen's certificates of succession, you state that you have yourself examined these documents, and that they bear the seal of the Board, and therefore cannot be forgeries. But I did not in the least mean to indicate that they were forgeries. Even if they had not been sealed by the Board I should have been willing to accept your Honour's assurance that they were genuine. My meaning was that when these certificates were first issued, the high authorities of your Government, being at an exceedingly great distance off, had no means of verifying the statements of the Headmen on which the certificates were based, and that these statements were probably incorrect and exaggerated.\n\nThirdly, referring to the examination of the Hpare Headmen by Mr. Leveson, you state that your deputy, Mr. Tai, although he was present, did not understand the Kachin language, and therefore was unaware what the evidence given really was, and that he had not made further inquiries. But while the joint examination of these Headmen was being carried on I too was present, and can state that the Headmen were able to speak Chinese. Mr. Leveson examined them in their own language, and then I questioned them in Chinese, and their statements in the two languages agreed. The real fact is that Mr. Tai refused to put any question to them. His statement to you must therefore be disregarded.\n\nThen, again, you state that you summoned and examined certain Headmen from Tzu Chu, &c., but I am unable to accept this evidence. We were engaged on a joint investigation, and evidence of this kind ought therefore to be taken jointly. Statements made in this way to one party only are inadmissible; besides, the statements of the Tzu Chu Headmen were also taken by Mr. Leveson and Mr. Tai in concert.\n\nIt is true that I have put down in my despatch evidence concerning the tribes on the Ngaw Chang which was taken by Mr. Leveson alone without any of your officers; but the reason of this was that your Honour had already left Pien Ma in company with myself for the Salween, and none of your deputies or Headmen dared go down to the Ngaw Chang with Mr. Leveson. Thus there was no chance of holding a joint inquiry, so I put down the evidence of these Headmen as it was given to Mr. Leveson. But is this not to be compared with the one-sided statements which you have reported?\n\nAgain, you state that, if you accept the frontier-lines which I propose, your Headmen will lose much of the territory which they control. But if you accept the watershed as the frontier, it is only a matter of giving up some 400 families of very poor Kachin; this cannot be called much. In the Mengiao triangle there are more than this.\n\nNot only is Burmah not desirous of wrongfully occupying territory, but is also unwilling that China should suffer any loss in this connection. If the watershed which I indicate is accepted as the frontier, then neither Burmah nor Yunnan will be put to any extraordinary expense; but if we were to accept the line indicated by your Honour, Burman would have to establish at least three military posts at a charge of some 40,000 taels, and China would have to raise some 200 or 300 troops to be stationed in this country to keep the peace, which would cost at least 20,000 taels a-year, so that both parties would be put to a heavy charge. If your Government is not willing to station troops there, then it is clear that you wish to usurp the rights of sovereignty but are unwilling to undertake its responsibilities, and this is just what my Government cannot agree to. I would request you to be so good as to represent these points to the high provincial authorities.\n\nP.S. - In my former despatch there is another point which I forgot to mention. If the watershed is accepted as the frontier on the northern section all the inhabitants of the border, Chinese or non-Chinese without distinction, will be allowed to pass the frontier, as usual, for the purpose of trading, without being subjected to vexatious restrictions. The Government of Burmah has always attached much importance to international trade; not only do we not put obstacles in the way of merchants, but we are only too glad to see as many of them as possible in our territory.\n\n(Seal of Taotai Shih)\n\n## \n### To sum up, your theory is that the country should be partitioned according to the river systems; \nnow my principle is that it will be more just to decide the boundary according to whether such and such a place is or is not under the jurisdiction of the respective Governments,\n\nThus, as you state that you cannot admit Chinese jurisdiction anywhere beyond the watershed, so I cannot abandon the country beyond the watershed or regard it as not being within Chinese jurisdiction.\n\nBut you are apprehensive that our Fu Yi along the border are so incompetent that in the future they will not have the power to govern the country, and that serious injury to the frontier districts may result.\n\nYou therefore propose, after the precedent of the triangle in Meng Mao (known as the Nam Wan assigned tract), to take over the government of this tract of country under a perpetual lease, so as to avoid such complications. The sum paid by way of rent would be handed over to the Chinese officials to be distributed at their entire discretion to the Chinese Chiefs, by way of compensation.\n\nThis is a well-considered and far-sighted proposal, designed to establish our international relations on a firm and harmonious basis.\n\nBut on this occasion I, in fact, received instructions only to examine the frontier. I have no power to delimit it, and I cannot therefore take upon myself the sole responsibility of agreeing to your proposal; but having regard to the terms of your despatch, I shall report the whole matter, as set forth above, to his Excellency the Viceroy of Yunnan for transmission to the `Board ...(of Foreign Affairs in Peking)` and for instructions in reply.\n\nWe then, upon receipt of instructions, can proceed to an amicable negotiation on the matter.\n\nAt the end of your despatch you mention that on the occurrence of proceedings in connection with the boundary the map has usually been scaled by both parties; that on this occasion, though we had no power to demarcate, the map has none the less been sealed by us; that, however, this circumstance must not be taken as evidence that we have come to a definite agreement as to the frontier, but is merely intended to verify the accuracy of the map. On this point I agree to act as you propose, and, while making the above general reply to your communication, I have to request you to take note of its contents.\n\n(Translation)\n\n### 38 \n### 452 \n### 39 \n### [2167 - 11] \n### (Card, &c., of G.

I directed Colonel Huang Pei-sung with Commodores Lin and Chiu of the River Police to despatch launches with troops to proceed to the scene and operate against the robbers both on the waterways and ashore, and to still further ensure the apprehension of the chief offenders I requested the Admiral to proceed personally to superintend the search, so that I have certainly spared no efforts in dealing with the case. The murderer, Liang A Chiu, who shot Mr. Nacionali, has been arrested, as have also Chang A Ping, Chen A Chiu, and Li A Chien, who were implicated in the piracy. The important pirates having all been seized, I am now taking measures to secure the apprehension of the rest, which should, I think, be effected without much difficulty.\n\nThis province, as you are well aware, has always been a hotbed of piracy, and since my appointment as Viceroy the reorganisation of its policing arrangements has been my daily occupation. Notorious pirate chiefs, such as Wu Hsin, Lin Kua Ssu, Chen Na Hang Hai, Tai Mei Hsiang, and Hsu Ta Ming Chin, have all been captured one after another, and in addition to these, in three years altogether more than 10,080 pirates have been punished, exclusive of those who, offering resistance, were killed on the spot.

        "content_text": "723\n\n2\n\nI inclose a sheet of tracing paper on which I have marked lines (a) and (b), together with all names to which reference is made in Shih Taotai's Memorandum. I have added little else, lest the trees should obscure the wood; though I have taken the opportunity to identify and insert nearly all the localities mentioned in my despatches Nos. 11 and 37 of 1905. By superimposing the tracing paper on Shih Taotai's map, the remarks which I would now venture to submit will, I trust, gain in clearness.\n\nIf our motto is to be stet pro ratione voluntas, there can be no doubt that we could force Yunnan to acquiesce. She has few, if any, troops worth the name, and her treasury is empty. Should we proceed to administer up to \"Scott's Line\" she could offer no overt resistance.\n\nAs regards the blank in both our maps, the ground styled by Governor-General Ting \"Manbai Magna,\" and by Shih Taotai \"Territory of the Wild K'a,\" I do not think that the Yunnan Government would be inclined to raise difficulty. The only objection they might bring forward would be that this region lies well to the east of the boundary line drawn by Liu and Ch'en-tajen in 1900. But although Shih Taotai continues to identify Loi-mu Hill with the \"very lofty mountain range called Kong-ming-Shan\" of the Treaties, still I think that he would hardly have handed me, with the Governor-General's assent, his present map unless his Government are prepared to yield the ground between the Liu-Chen line and Shih's \"watersheds of the Namma River,\" or at the least to erect it into a sort of buffer State. (In his Memorandum he does, it is true, propose that it be divided.) They might possibly give up those parts of the Upper Hulu and of Mengtum that lie south and west of \"Scott's Line\"; what they will certainly strive to retain is the \"territory subject to the Hsi-ming Sawbwa,\" that is, Mong-hka and Mong-hsaw (coloured pink in Shih's map).\n\nIf we force them, without further explanation or negotiations, to surrender this district, we can hardly fail to embitter relations between Burmah and Yunnan, if not between Great Britain and China. We could not well occupy and administer it without at the same time either subduing the Wild Wa or—what would be scarcely less trouble—some and expensive becoming responsible for their recurring raids on undoubted Chinese territory.\n\nIf, on the other hand, there is still room for amicable discussion, I would venture to suggest that the following arguments might be brought to the knowledge of Governor-General Ting:\n\n1. The Agreement signed on the 4th February, 1897, by Sir Claude MacDonald and the late Grand Secretary Li Hung-chang, modifying the Burmah-China Frontier and Trade Convention of the 1st March, 1894, must be accepted as binding on the Governments of Burmah and of Yunnan. For purposes of the present controversy it is sufficient to apply this axiom to paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 3 of that Agreement, which read as follows:—\n\n\"The frontier shall then follow the course of the river forming the boundary between Somu, which belongs to Great Britain, and Meng Ting, which belongs to China. It shall still continue to follow the frontier between those two districts, which is locally well known, to where it leaves the aforesaid river and ascends the hills, and shall then follow the line of water-parting between the tributaries of the Salween and the Meikong Rivers, from about longitude 99° east of Greenwich (17° 30′ west of Peking) and latitude 23° 20′ to a point about longitude 99° 40′ east of Greenwich (16° 50′ west of Peking) and latitude 23°, leaving to China the Tsawbwaships of Keng Ma, Mengtung, and Mengko.\n\n\"At the last-named point of latitude and longitude the line strikes a very lofty mountain range called Kong-Ming-Shan, which it shall follow in a southerly direction to about 99° 30′ east of Greenwich (17° west of Peking) and latitude 22° 30′, leaving to China the district of Chenpien Ting. Then, descending the western slope of the hills to the Namka River, it will follow the course of that river for about 10 minutes of latitude, leaving Munglem to China and Manglün to Great Britain. The frontier shall then follow the boundary between Munglem and Kiang Tung.\"\n\n2. The above two paragraphs were transferred, without substantial alteration, from the Convention of 1894 to the Agreement of 1897.\n\n3. The Convention of 1894 was drafted in English in London, where it was translated into Chinese and signed in both languages by Lord Rosebery and Hsieh Fu-ch'eng, the then Chinese Envoy to Great Britain.\n\n4. The only truly scientific method of indicating locality on the earth's surface is that of latitude and longitude. With this method China has been acquainted at any rate since the Jesuit Survey in the K'ang-hsi reign more than two centuries ago. The Chinese maps bound in with the native Gazetteer of Yunnan (\"Yunnan Tungchih\") employ this system. The references, therefore, to latitudes and longitudes in the Agreement cannot be ignored by the Yunnan Government, as they were, in effect, ignored by Liu and Ch'en, the Boundary Commissioners of 1900; these references are of the first importance.\n\nOn the contrary,\n\n6. The references to latitude and longitude in the clause now under examination are four, namely:\n\n(a.) Longitude 99° east of Greenwich (17° 30′ west of Peking), and latitude 23°20'.\n\n(b.) Longitude 99° 40′ east of Greenwich (16° 50' west of Peking), and latitude 23°.\n\n(c.) Longitude 99° 30′ east of Greenwich (17° west of Peking), and latitude 22° 30'.\n\n(d.) A point on the Namkha River situated 10 minutes of latitude from where the boundary between Menglem and Kiang Tung diverges from that river.\n\nThe first step to be taken is to mark the above four points on the map of the survey of India—a map the correctness of which is admitted by the Yunnan Government, as regards its physical features and lines of latitude and longitude, since they have adopted it as the basis of their own chart.\n\n(The four points are marked in red on the tracing paper.)\n\n6. When the above points are marked it will be found that they fall very nearly on the crests of certain mountain ranges admitted by Shih Taotai to be watersheds. The word \"about\" in the Treaty allows for the small difference found, but it would certainly not admit of the very great difference—40 minutes of longitude—required if the Liu-Ch'en line is to be taken to represent that of the Convention.\n\n7. Between points (a) and (b) the boundary, according to the Convention, is to \"follow the line of water-parting between the tributaries of the Salween and the Meikong Rivers.\" The water-parting is marked on Shih's map, and coincides with that portion of \"Scott's Line.\"\n\n**\n\n(This is not altogether the case between 99° 30′ and 99° 44', where \"Scott's Line\" is drawn across the supposititious head-waters of the Nam-hoit, Shih's Nan-wa. Mr. (now Sir George) Scott himself described it as \"to some extent conjectural.” Our main contention, however, is not affected—that we follow the watershed.)\n\n8. At point (b) the Convention boundary \"strikes a very lofty mountain range called Kong-Ming-Shan, which it follows in a southerly direction to point (c). Now, Shih's map admits that between (b) and (c) runs, in a markedly southern direction, the \"main watershed between the Mekong and the Salween,\" which watershed is merged at about longitude 99° 45′ and latitude 22° 40′ in a range which he calls K'ung-ming Shan. His Memorandum describes this K'ung-ming Shan as falling within the jurisdictions of four Sawbwaships—Hsi-ming, Mu-nai, Menglem, and Mengpin. If the term is to be confined to the range as marked on his map, then Mu-nai and Hsi-ming can have nothing to do with it; but if it includes the whole \"main watershed above, then the description in his Memorandum tallies with the wording of the Convention.\n\n9. For it must not be forgotten that, as stated above (section 3) the Convention was drafted in English. Now, no Englishman, unless trained in China, would distinguish between \"kung\" in the first tone and \"kung ('hkung'), with an aspirate, in the third. Writing by ear he would set down both as \"kong.\" No Chinese hieroglyph being supplied for this particular name, the translator in London naturally adopted one of those for \"kung\" (without the aspirate), and among the \"kungs\" that one which is in most common use and would harmonize sufficiently well with \"ming\" (\"clear\"), namely \"kung\" (\"just\").\n\n(He took, I suspect, similar liberties with the hieroglyphs to be used for \"Kunlong,\" two paragraphs higher up. I am inclined to think that the \"kuu\" is not \"kung\" (\"work\"), as he wrote it, but \"kun\" (\"whirling water\").)\n\nThe name Kong-Ming-Shan, therefore, of the English text must be taken to represent K'ung-ming Shan, and not, despite the Chinese text, a Kung-ming Shan, if such there be.\n\n3\n\nB 2\n\n[2147 an-1]",

The said price was to be paid and the purchase was to be completed within one month after the Vendors should have obtained a Certificate or other due recognition of the full and complete title and ownership of the Vendors to the said premises from the Land Court or Government of the said Colony of Hongkong.\n\n2.\n\nIn accordance with the procedure prescribed by Ordinance No.16 of 1900 a claim to the property in question was laid before the Land Court in the name of Lam Tak Luk ( †† 18 43 ) and Lam Cheung Fuk (林\n\n3.\n\nwho were the original owners of the said piece of land,\n\nThe claim was heard and evidence was taken before the Land Court and the matter was fully enquired into by them and the Claimant Lam Tak Luk was examined and produced his title deeds.\n\n4.\n\nOn the 4th day of December 1901 the Land Court consisting of the Honourable Mr. H.E.

The said Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan were also aware that, under the provisions of the said Ordinance above quoted, even if no title was granted by the Government, the Claimants had the right to compensation vested in them by the decision of the Land Court.\n\n### 15. \n\nThey therefore determined to complete the said purchase, and by an Assignment dated the 29th day of December 1902, made between the said Tin Pat Hing and Lau Sang of the one part, and the said Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan of the other part (the said Cheung Ching Shan above mentioned having agreed that the Assignment should be made to the said Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan only), in consideration of the sum of $25,000 to the said Tin Pat Hing and Lau Sang paid by Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan, the said Tin Pat Hing and Lau Sang assigned unto Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan all their right, title, and interest in and to the said land in question.\n\n### 16. \n\nThe said consideration money of $25,000 was duly paid by Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan to the said Tin Pat Hing and Lau Sang in cash, without any deduction being made therefrom, and your Petitioners hold the receipt of the said Tin Pat Hing and Lau Sang therefor.\n\n### 17. \n\nAt this point, your Petitioners would submit that they were perfectly justified in acting as they did in completing the purchase and paying over the said sum of $25,000 purchase money on the 29th day of December 1902, relying upon the Judgment of the Land Court delivered on the 4th day of December 1901. More than a year had elapsed since the said Judgment was delivered, and according to the law as it then stood (Ordinance No.18 of 1900, Section 16), the time for appealing from the said Judgment was limited to 14 days, which had long expired; therefore, the Judgment stood indefeasible. The Government had given no intimation whatever that they disagreed with or were intending to dispute the said Judgment, and on the contrary, had written the letter above quoted, dated the 4th day of February 1902, in which they implied that they were intending to act upon the said Judgment by granting a Certificate of Title as soon as the amount of tax had been settled. In any case, whether the Government granted a title or not, the said Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan, as the Assignees of the rights of the Claimants, would have been entitled under the provisions of the said Ordinance to compensation as above mentioned.\n\n### 18. \n\nOn the 4th day of March 1903, the following letter was received from the Registrar of the Land... \n-5-",

At present to \n\nreach this place they have to go by launch through Lyemoon Pass \n\nand the sea is often very rough. The fare is about 60 cents \n\nfor the trip. When the Railway is open, they will travel by rail to Taipo and go by launch from there avoiding the rough sea met with East of Iyemoon. Very much more than 14 cents a mile could \n\nbe charged to passengers booking through to Sha U Ching, but I would not advise this unless the Railway care to start running \n\nthe launch.

This of course would \n\nbe the best plan under ordinary circumstances and every effort \n\nmust be put forward to try and get such a scheme agreed upon by \n\nthe Chinese. \n\nIt will be necessary to have a Traffic Manager, a Chief Engineer and an Auditor and if the pay of these officers and their \n\noffice establishment can be divided up over 120 miles instead of \n\nover 20, the working expenses per mile would be greatly reduced. \n\nAll the same it is necessary to look at it from a Chinese point \n\nof view. It would pay the Chinese much better and suit the \n\ngeneral feeling in the country more if the Chinese section of the \n\nKowloon Canton Railway were worked as a branch of the Canton \n\nHankow Railway. \n\nThis",

The Railway will bring passengers there in about 75 minutes and land them much nearer the village. The distance from Hong Kong is about 23 miles, of which only one mile is on the Chinese Section. For this reason, the British Section must have the power to quote a high rate, say 14 cents per mile for 3rd class passengers.\n\nShek Lung is in a similar position, but I have not been able to obtain any figures for the traffic between Hong Kong and this place. At present, anyone wanting to travel between Shek Lung and Hong Kong must tranship at Wangpoa and would probably have to pass through Canton.\n\nThere is another place to which a fair number of passengers go per day, namely to Sha U Ching in Mirs Bay. At present, to reach this place, they have to go by launch through Lyemoon Pass, and the sea is often very rough. The fare is about 60 cents for the trip. When the Railway is open, they will travel by rail to Taipo and go by launch from there, avoiding the rough sea met with East of Lyemoon.

The distances mentioned—Fong Chuen to Shan King and Shau King to Chu Tau Shan (Admiralty charts)—cover only 145 miles of river. I cannot understand why the vast delta waterways are ignored.

Nineteen launches will not be able to patrol their respective sections twice a day—if all the waterways are policed.\n\n4. All the \"guard boats\" sailing gun-boats\" have, with a few exceptions, been recently removed from the West River. Many are broken up and a few are hauled up on the bank at Shiu Hing. There will therefore be no troops ashore to give assistance, except at a garrison town like Wachau or Shau King. The new launches recently built and most of the old ones carry no more than eight, or at the most ten, fighting men.\n\n5. This list, if it is compiled, would have to be an enormous one. The launches embark passengers nearly every half-a-mile.\n\nIt is an excellent suggestion that special sampans be registered to embark passengers, but no safeguard against pirates embarking. There are always recognized sampans for embarking passengers, which generally fly a special flag. These sampans have been used by pirates before (vide \"Wing Fat\" piracy case, July 1906).\n\n6.

I conclude that the three Government examination stations are to be quite close to Canton, the words East, West, and North Rivers not being used in the same sense as we employ, as the North River enters the West River at Samshui, and the East River enters the Canton River south of Whampoa, I think the number of examination stations might be extended to include Samshui, Shiu Hing, Kum Chuk, and Kong Mun, important shipping centres, otherwise the inspection scheme will be one-sided only—the Canton side.\n\nThey ought to be controlled by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMinutes of an Interview on board His Majesty's ship \"Alacrity,\" at Canton, November 20, 1907.\n\nPresent:\n\nAdmiral Sir A. W. Moore, K.C.M.G., &c. Mr. R. W. Mansfield, C.M.G., His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, Canton.\n\nSecretary C. H. Rowe, R.N.\n\nMr. H. Sly, Vice-Consul.\n\nViceroy Chang Jen Chun. Taotai Ousu Han. Taotai Wen Tsung Yao.\n\nTHE Commander-in-chief, Sir A. W. Moore, having paid an official visit to the Viceroy on the 19th November, his Excellency the Viceroy returned the call on the following day on board His Majesty's ship \"Alacrity.\"\n\nAfter partaking of refreshments and exchanging the usual courtesies, by prearrangement the above-mentioned withdrew to the after-cabin to discuss the piracy question.\n\nThe Admiral informed the Viceroy that his principal object in requesting the conference was to discuss the proposed measures for the prevention of piracy in the vicinity of Canton, more especially in regard to the provision of the four fast launches to be placed under Customs control. He referred to the length of time this question had been under discussion, how that Viceroy Chow Fu had so far back as last March informed him that the launches would be provided, and how the Central Government at Peking had given their undertaking to the British Minister that the scheme would be put into effect. He had recently visited the Wai-wu Pu, and his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai had assured him that instructions had been given to the Canton Government to do all in their power to suppress piracy, and had stated that the Viceroy could, if he would, stamp it out. Notwithstanding this, the launches had not been provided, and since his visit to Peking no less than three further robberies of vessels under the British flag had taken place. He felt that the time had now come when further talk was useless, and that definite action must be taken. He had been called upon by the Admiralty to report what measures he could take to insure the protection of British interests, and before giving his reply he wished to have a decision from the Viceroy as to whether he would or would not carry out the undertaking which had been entered into by the Chinese authorities to provide the four fast launches under Customs control.\n\nThe Viceroy, in reply, said that he was quite with the Admiral in desiring to stamp out piracy, he had already drawn up a scheme, which he was prepared to carry out, which included the provision of four fast launches, the systematic patrol of the waterways by the older patrol launches, and the co-operation of the military on shore with those vessels, so that the pirates might be followed up to their haunts when they escaped.\n\nThe Admiral pointed out that this scheme only provided for the patrol of about one-third of the waterways used by the launches, and that, as the guard-boats had been withdrawn, no soldiers were available to co-operate with the patrol vessels.\n\nTo this the Viceroy replied that his scheme was of course only in embryo, and that as it developed he hoped to arrange for the patrol of all the waterways. He added that the guard-boats which had been withdrawn would be replaced.\n\nThe Admiral asked whether he was to understand that the four fast launches referred to would be under the Customs control. The Viceroy said that he had recently received a telegram from Peking saying that the stipulation as to the launches being placed under foreign officers had been withdrawn by the British Minister; further, that he had been informed by the Commissioner of Customs at Canton that to place the vessel under Customs control would be fraught with much difficulty, and that the scheme was more or less impracticable. He also remarked that he, as Viceroy, was responsible for the policing of the province, and that it had nothing whatever to do with the Customs.\n\nThe Admiral replied that Peking must be under a misapprehension as to the withdrawal of the stipulation. He went on to say that, although there might be difficulties, they could, he felt sure, be overcome. He could not understand the Viceroy's attitude in the matter, or what were his objections. The boats would be manned by Chinese,",

        "content_text": "6. It will be quite impossible to fix the times of departure and arrival of trading launches. The hours of rise and fall of the tide and the weather, fine or rainy, differ from day to day. If the patrol of the waterways is effective, there will be no object in fixing the times of departure and arrival of launches.\n\n7. Before the launch navigation routes are fixed it will be necessary to make a careful examination in order to find out what routes are most advantageous from a mercantile point of view, where the population is densest, where the water is deep enough for launch traffic, and whether there is in summer or winter any obstacle to the employment of the route. The decision of this question must await the completion of the mercantile map of the West River.\n\n8. Patrol launches and the fast cruisers must from time to time examine launches on meeting them, but must not delay them overlong. Unexpected examinations of this kind are of the utmost use, causing anyone with an intention of pirating launches to be afraid of being discovered. The stationary gun-boats of the various sections must also from time to time carry out these examinations.\n\n9. The stationing of braves on each launch depends entirely on the efficiency of the braves. If they are courageous men and would rather die than fail in their duty, and are unwilling that the launch under their protection should be plundered by pirates, then truly they are worthy of the highest praise. If, however, they are unreliable, timorous, and of small courage, then they are actually a positive danger instead of a protection; the pirates would at once seize their weapons. It is thus to be feared that they would be of assistance to the enemy. For this reason, a patrol of the waterways is more likely to go to the root of the matter than the stationing of braves on board the launches.\n\n10. A stationary gun-boat should be stationed continually at all landing-places, with a view to their inspection. The system of establishing three official inspection depots at important points in the neighbourhood of the capital's waterways, with control over the traffic on the East, West, and North Rivers is an excellent one. The Commissioner of Customs should, in consultation with the local officials, find out what are the most suitable places, and establish the three depots, instructing the harbour-master to settle everything in conjunction with the deputies appointed to take charge of them. The establishment of these depots will be of advantage to the Native Customs, Prefectural Customs, and li-kin receipts; and they will also assist in preventing the importation of arms from Hong Kong and Macao by brigands into the capital, and the export of arms from the capital to the assistance of brigands in the interior.\n\n11\n\nIt is an excellent suggestion that special sampans be registered to embark passengers, but no safeguard against pirates embarking. There are always recognized sampans for embarking passengers, which generally fly a special flag. These sampans have been used by pirates before (vide \"Wing Fat\" piracy, July 1906).\n\n6.

I think the amount of examination stations might be extended to include Samshui, Shiu Hing, Kum Chuk, and Kong Mun important shipping centres; otherwise, the inspection scheme will be one-sided only, the Canton side.\n\nThey ought to be controlled by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\nThe guard-boats or sailing gun-boats having been removed, what form of Government station is to be established?\n\nInclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Lieutenant-Commander Vaughan.\n\nThe waterways are said to cover 230 miles, but to my knowledge over 600 miles are used by launches in passenger traffic. This does not include another 360 miles of river above Wuchow in the Kuangsi Province.\n\nDuring the summer months a 3-knot current may be expected in the main river, so that a speed of more than 12 knots ought to be guaranteed, and they should not be detached for military operations, which are nearly always in progress at one place or another, owing to the absence of any form of village police in wilder Kwang Tung.

He had, when in Canton in February last, discussed with Viceroy Chou Fu the scheme for placing on the waterways four additional cruisers of suitable type under the control of the Commissioner of Customs, and officered by foreign officers. The Wai-wu Pu had previously assented to this arrangement, and he had understood from Viceroy Chou that he was prepared to put it into effect. What was his (the Admiral's) surprise on arriving in Peking to find that nothing had been done. He had, in a long interview with his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai and Minister Liang, informed them of his views on the whole situation, and that he considered the employment of these cruisers under Imperial Maritime Customs control with foreign officers, and with an official on board appointed by the Viceroy, essential to the improvement of existing ...\n\n36\n\n1",

        "content_text": "led to appointment of Secretary Wang to audit the accounts on the spot, and no arts will prevent so skilled a workman from discovering the truth. As the line is now being handed over to business management, it is requisite to review its abuses and its future.\n\n\"The essentials in railway cases are finance and construction. If the money is raised unjustly the people will rise, and if the line is not wisely built the biggest funds will never accomplish the job.\n\n\"Now as to construction. Hu Chun pretends to take the whole matter easily, whereas the Head Director, Ch'iao, found it too serious for him. The whole line- Ichang up to Ch'engtu-comes to 2,600 to 2,700 li, and Hsu-liang reckoned the cost, at only double ordinary track rate, at about 50,000,000 taels. As investigation proves this is far too low, let us consider only the Ichang-Wan-hsien section. This included the Wu-shan gorge, 1,000 li of hill and valley necessitating cuttings and tunnels, so that the Szechuan engineer estimated 100,000 taels, the British over 70,000 taels, and the Japanese over 60,000 taels. Taking the average, this means a total of 70,000,000 to 80,000,000 taels-even if the distance by land is not longer than that by water. As for the time needed for building, the British put this section at ten years. There remain 1,600 or 1,700 li to Chengtu, which section is also not over ordinary ground, which means that the total cost of the line will run over 100,000,000 taels, and that twenty years will pass before completion. As from poverty-stricken Szechuan it has taken three years to wring these 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 taels, it would take thirty years to raise the capital for the Ichang-Wan-hsien section alone. Such a vast scheme, with the interests of the Szechuan people and resources, and the foreign intervention and frontier risks, cannot be lightly undertaken. Besides, the I-Wan section must be completed from both ends before trains can run, and its upkeep be provided for, that is, this vast capital would bring in nothing for a dozen years. Any one with any sense would see that this work can never start, or if started never succeed-which shows what a fool Hu Chun is.\n\n\"The Hukuang Viceroy, knowing the magnitude of the undertaking, proposed joint action, but the Szechuan gentry refused. Then his Excellency suggested each province doing its own portion, but Hu Chun insisted on Szechuan's undertaking all from Ichang westward, and this was assented to, the Hupei part being redeemable after twenty-five years. If either of the original schemes had been adopted after three years there would have been some actual work to show, as each would have started from its end. Last year the Peking officials revived his Excellency Chang's first proposals, but the Szechuan officers were too proud of doing Hupei's work to agree to drop it. And now after another year nothing has happened except expensive building and entertainments and gambling away the deputies' and gentry's salaries. No wonder 1,500,000 taels has been wasted and popular suspicion raised. In the 5th moon Hu Chun wired that the trace was laid down and the surveys completed. Now the gorges section is as great a work as the Suez Canal, and demands an engineer of the highest skill and experience. So last year the Hukuang Viceroy's Memorial pointed out the doubt of possibility of tunnelling the hills, and the Board of Communications suggested the special engagement of first-class Belgian and Norwegian engineers, as no student who had been abroad was equal to such a location survey, and any error might involve throwing away several millions. The pressing needs of the moment are to organize the Company properly according to law and to improve the share-collecting system, to found a bank, combine the provinces, and on the lines of Hunan and Kuangtung's new rules raise the missing capital for financing the whole job. As important is the engagement of first-class foreign engineers to locate the trace anew and then to begin on the I-Wan section from both ends at once, instead of building a cul-de-sac line inland. might get the gentry of both provinces to form one general Company and give up the The Board twenty-five years redemption idea; otherwise, each province attending to its own part, people will not put money into such a piecemeal project as the past three years have shown. The only other method possible is for the Court to appoint a head and let the shareholders decide as to employés and measures, the head, as representative of the gentry and merchants of the two provinces, arranging with the two Viceroys as to funds, surveys, purchase of land, &c. This is what I mean by reforming the scheme of construction.\n\n\"These proposals, which will spare the people's means and facilitate railway affairs, have no light bearing on the general situation, otherwise too many cooks will spoil the broth, and there will be no hope of completing the job.\n\n\"A rescript hands the above to the Board of Communications for consideration and report.\n\n5\n\nSoochow-Ningpo Railway.\n\nThe \"Nan Fang Pao\" of the 6th October discusses the Wai-wu Pu's attempt to force a foreign loan for the Soochow-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway. The writer quotes a Japanese as saying that foreign trade in China has at one step changed from an economic to a political question of influence, and thence will change as quickly to a military question, India and Egypt being sad examples to China. \"Such a warning from an outsider we think a disgrace to our rulers and, still worse, a bad omen for the future. India and Egypt perished from the incoming of foreign capital, but also because the treasury was empty, the people impoverished, while tyrannous sovereigns and vile officers shortsightedly welcomed foreign funds to supply their pleasures. If our own resources can be applied to our own industries in abundance, no such reckless and suicidal policy need be adopted, and if only China discourages foreign capital her fate need not be that of India and Egypt. While the people remain sunk in ignorance and no reforms start, a crisis may necessitate foreign aid, but the Canton-Hankow Railway redemption proved our readiness to seize an opportunity to secure lost rights, and, the draft Agreement proving useless, the Soochow-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway funds have been got together, survey work completed, when not an ignorant person but a mighty Board, at the threat of outsiders, suddenly would force the gentry and traders of two provinces to raise a foreign loan!\n\n\"Some say that this is due to foreign intrigue. All foreign States try to promote trade by improving communications and getting hold of railway rights. But of late our people are waking up to the danger of foreign-built railways, and projects of resumption are rife, so foreigners have changed offers to finance lines as a blind to their aggressive plans. As the people are not to be duped, the foreigners chose a critical moment for squeezing our incapable Government by threats of armed intervention, or they make diplomatic demands, or use bribes to effect their purpose. Perhaps this explains the present case as it does others.\n\n\"Others ascribe it to the Government's rooted slackness, which neglects all State matters and popular interests for dissipation and private struggles for wealth and rank. The foreigners present demand found them ignorant of law and the particulars of the case and ready to accept any threatening demand. Thus they earn the foreigners' contempt, and will alienate the people while not ready to maintain any administrative act to be unalterable.\n\n\"Others, again, say that this is due to the old ways of each putting responsibility on someone else. Our statesmen, instead of taking their part in vindicating our rights at home and abroad, always disclaim any power to act and seek the easiest present way out of every difficulty, as now they no doubt hope the provinces will not acquiesce, and so will give an excuse to offer to the foreigner.\n\n\"If our statesmen's action on this subject arises from one of the above three causes it is not so very reprehensible; if not, the Wai-wu Pu should not have entered on discussion of foreign exorbitant demands or interfered with the provinces' past action. If the Board professes to be trying to find a compromise to save interest on both sides, it should remember that encouragement of foreign capital being injurious to vital interests of the State, even without the extra burden of security pledged, the result will be to render the completed line of no benefit except to the foreigner, whose claim to interfere with the lives and property of the provinces will be the stronger for the loan. In case of default the result may be ruin to China, as the Japanese says, and as a Government that should be the defence of the people, instead of refuting outsiders, adopt this lowest policy of compromise in regard to the railway, it is certain that when weightier matters than this arise, as they often will, this case will be quoted against the Wai-wu Pu with success, and this is why I see in this case shame to the Government and sorrow for China's future.'\n\nThe Nan Fang Pao\" of the 25th October discusses the forced borrowing for Kiangsu and Chekiang Railways and the permitted rice purchase by Japanese at Wuhu. Yang, of Siangtan, says our Government now is one that shirks its responsibility. Towards foreigners it is a presenting, towards its own people it is a robbing, Government. Mere shirking of responsibility implies being a spectator, but still not disregard for people's lives and property nor the forcible handing of them over to outsiders. But our present Government goes so far as to play jackal to tiger, guide to robber, as though it feared the Powers' own resources would not suffice to extinguish our China nor China's straits to crush our people, and so must hurry on the date of our dismemberment and ruin. Some say of late the Government has been keen on genuine reforms in accordance... \n\n[2818 bb-1]\n\n0\n\n55",

It has long been a matter for wonder that the French have tolerated the position which this Annamite has acquired. He made a nominal submission after the conquest, and was then left to himself. He has a numerous body of armed retainers, who levy exactions on the surrounding country. It frequently happens too that \"pirates\" operating in Tonquin make use of his name, even though with no authority to do so, so that he obtains a reputation for being even more powerful than he is. Emissaries from the agitators in Annam are said to have recently visited Yen-Thé for the purpose of conferring with him. I have been assured on excellent authority that when the French Resident of Phulang-Thuong goes to visit this retired brigand, he is not allowed to bring his escort with him into the village, but has to leave it at some distance. De-Tham constantly fears that he will be captured by treachery. This rather humiliating state of affairs would have been ended long ago if the Chief could have been dealt with by the native militia alone, but the country which he inhabits is a mountainous and difficult one, and he undoubtedly has much influence among the population. A campaign would have to be undertaken and regular troops employed, and one Governor after another has preferred to leave things as they are. It is said that the Résident Supérieur, M. Morel, is endeavouring to bring De-Tham to reason. He has invited him to come and visit him. The Chief has declined on account of an indisposition, but has promised to do so after the harvest.\n\nThere is undoubtedly a spirit of unrest all over Indo-China at present, and it seems extremely unlikely that the Government finds occasion to rejoice at the disturbances in Yünnan. The authorities have recently reduced the number of European troops here, and if events in Yunnan made it desirable to send soldiers to Mongtze, for instance, to protect the French Colony there (which, however, does not seem likely), they would probably be somewhat embarrassed as at the present moment it would hardly be prudent much to deplete the garrison of Indo-China.\n\nOn the whole, then, the Chinese can hardly suspect the French of wilfully encouraging this outbreak. They will probably, however, complain on the ground of negligence. It must be remembered that this is not the first outbreak which has occurred on the frontier during recent months. In September last, the Chinese town of Tong-Hin, opposite the French town of Moncay, on the Kwangtung-Tonquin frontier, was attacked by a small body of rebels, and at the beginning of December, the revolutionaries took and held for a few days the Chinese fort at Nam-Quan on the frontier of Kwangsi, near Langson. On both these occasions, the leaders were afterwards arrested or gave themselves up on French soil, and were in due course duly deported to Hong Kong or Singapore. In the case of the attack on Nam-Quan, it seems that a considerable portion of the attacking force assembled previously in French territory.\n\nIt is, of course, difficult for the French adequately to guard their long and mountainous Chinese frontier from surprise visits of small bands of revolutionaries who assemble in twos and threes with nothing visible to proclaim their intentions, and after the revolutionaries are beaten, it is presumably impossible to prevent their taking refuge on French soil as political offenders. It must, however, be somewhat exasperating to the Chinese authorities, and if, as is probable, the rebels now operating in Southern Yunnan are defeated but escape with little loss across the frontier into Tonquin, it will not be surprising if the Chinese Government considers itself aggrieved and makes representations on the subject to the Indo-Chinese authorities.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[22283]\n\n(No. 217.)

After a prolonged discussion, the following three points were regarded as forming the essential basis of an arrangement:\n\n1. The regularization of the Company's position and the recognition of its title to the mining property.\n\n2. The payment of Chang Yen Mao's claim.\n\n3. The purchase by the Chinese Government of all the Company's land at Ching Wan Tao.\n\nThese conditions were communicated by me to Major Nathan, with a request that he would come up to Peking and let me have an expression of his views thereon. At an interview which I had with him on the 4th instant, Major Nathan authorized me to inform Tong Tajen that he was prepared to enter into negotiations on the above basis provided work at the new mine was suspended in the meantime. This discussion was communicated by me to Tong Tajen in a note, copies of which and of his reply are inclosed herewith.\n\nSince then, I have had further interviews with Major Nathan, Tong Tajen, and Chang Yen Mao, and a good deal of preliminary discussion has taken place with a view to paving the way for eventual negotiations. These informal conversations have revealed a wide divergence of views as to the area of the mining property to which the Company are entitled; but with the exercise of patience and goodwill on both sides, it may perhaps be possible to arrive at an understanding.\n\nIt is impossible, however, to make any further progress until someone is appointed on the Chinese side with full authority to carry on the negotiations. The idea at present appears to be to entrust this duty to Mr. M. T. Liang, lately Taotai at Shanghai and now a Councillor in the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N.

The objections to the proposed Hsin-mintun-Fakumen extension are, the paper states, not justified by facts, and the Japanese, by their attitude on this question, are only adding to their unpopularity in China.\n\nThe \"Eastern Times\" criticizes the Government's proposal to redeem the Peking-Hankow line by the issue of internal loan bonds. The Government's decision that it would be better to abandon the idea of redemption than to invite the danger of a foreign loan is declared to be sound, but the want of confidence between the officials and the people is such that the bonds will not be taken up to a sufficient extent. The paper here hits upon the great practical obstacle which the advocates of native loans too often forget; and the only remedy that the \"Eastern Times\" can suggest is constitutional reform, providing for popular control of the national finances.\n\nThibet.\n\nAccording to the Peking native papers, it would appear that the Chinese are contemplating a more energetic policy than that they have hitherto pursued as regards Thibet. Chang Ta-ch'en is said to have put forward various proposals, which are now under consideration, aiming at the establishment of a military force in Thibet, the encouragement of trade with Szechuan, the founding of schools where the Chinese language is to be taught, the organization of an administrative system, and, in general, the assertion of China's sovereign rights.\n\nIt is also reported that an official will be sent to Thibet to investigate the mineral resources of the country, and to arrange with the Thibetan and British officials some means of raising capital for the exploitation of the mines.\n\nNaval Affairs.\n\nA Peking newspaper is responsible for the statement that the Board of Finance have arranged to devote the sum of 10,000,000 taels for the purchase of new ships, the construction of naval harbours, &c.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received June 29.)\n\n[June 29.]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\n(No. 197.) Sir,\n\nPeking, May 6, 1908. IN continuation of my despatch No. 180 of the 27th April, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a Report by Mr. Harding which gives further and fuller information respecting the Sunning Railway, the construction of which is, as the writer points out, a remarkable feat suggestive of further possibilities in railway development in this country.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN,\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Harding respecting a Short Trip through the Sunning District.\n\nTHE Sunning district is one of the most progressive in China. In every village one is sure to come across men who speak English, or, more strictly, American, as some of them indeed call it. On the streets are men in foreign clothes and without queues; brand new villages are springing up everywhere; rows of neat new houses, with a broad street in between. And yet the district contains no Treaty port; no foreigners reside in it; few ever visit it. All the improvements which one sees are but the result of the... fact that from here was effected the Chinese colonization of the Pacific Coast of America.\n\nUndoubtedly the principal evidence of this Americanization of the people of Sunning is now the railway, which already connects the district city with the Ngae Mun River at Kung Yik, and will soon connect it with the sea-coast at Sam Kap. The first named place is situated opposite the town of Tam Shöü Hau, some five hours by steam-launch from Kongmoon. At present it has no population at all; long rows of new Chinese houses alternate with broad grass-grown streets, but the Railway Company hope that when the town is built and the railway complete, inhabitants will come, The railway station is some little way from the town, just beside an imposing-looking, white-painted, two-storeyed building, in which are some of the Company's offices. At present there are only two trains a-day each way, which start-most unpunctually at 7.30 A.M. and 130 P.M. from Kung Yik, and at 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. from Sunning, local time, half-an-hour earlier than the China coast time in use at Hong Kong and Canton, being used. The first-class carriages are most luxurious, more so even than those of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway. The second-class carriages are about the same as on other Chinese lines; while the third-class are mere cattle-trucks with seats. All, with three out of the six locomotives owned by the Company, are built in the United States. The other three, with all the rails and some of the other material, come from Germany,\n\nThe distance from Kung Yik to Sunning is 17 miles; the time taken over the journey being an hour and a-quarter, and the fares 80 c., 50 c., and 30 c. by first, second, and third class respectively.\n\nJust after leaving Kung Yik the line makes an enormous bend, necessitated by the refusal of a village, which lay in the direct line, to sell the requisite land. At this one place a mile is lost, and there are several lesser bends on the way to Sunning. The Company's inability to compel unwilling villagers to part with their land has further led it to follow the top of a range of low hills with a gap in the middle, thereby necessitating a couple of rises of 70 feet.\n\nThe line is well laid, and travel on it is much smoother than on the Canton-Hankow line, or, indeed, on the Shanghae-Nanking line when newly built.

The construction of the first three sections presents no considerable difficulties.\n\nThe railway has been opened much earlier than is usually the case, very few of the bridges having been built. But little ballast has been laid down, principally because the line has not hitherto been laid through stony country. Good ballast is now being laid, and solid concrete bridges are being put up throughout the 1st and 2nd sections. The line is well built, and a large sum of money has been spent in lowering the grades. I am informed that it is being much more carefully built than are most American railways.

IN continuation of my despatch No. 123 of the 16th March last, I have the honour to inclose copies of further correspondence with the Wai-wu Pu on the subject of the levy of li-kin on the Shanghae-Nanking Railway.\n\nIn their note of the 6th instant the Board recognize that duty-paid foreign imports are entitled to an exemption certificate when carried by rail from one Treaty port to another, and instructions for the issue of these certificates have been issued to the Acting Inspector-General of Customs. In my conversations with the Ministers on the question I had insisted that this step should be taken at once in order to avoid claims for the refund of li-kin paid on such goods in contravention of the spirit of the Treaties.\n\nThe Board's note is less satisfactory in its proposed treatment of native produce, and here there will be considerable difficulty in arriving at an arrangement.\n\nDuring my recent visit to Shanghae I had an interview with Mr. G. Acheson, the Imperial Maritime Customs Li-kin Commissioner at Soochow, who explained to me at great length the working of the li-kin system in Kiangsu, and endeavoured to prove that the enforcement of the Regulations recently applied to Manchuria was an impossibility in that province. Kiangsu has to furnish a yearly contribution of 2,000,000 taels (£300,000) towards the payment of the Anglo-German Loan of 1898, and Mr. Acheson, whose experience of the province and knowledge of the question give weight to his opinion, considers that the discharge of this obligation is incompatible with the immunity from taxation of native produce which has paid coast-trade duty.\n\nMr. Acheson, at my request, put his views in writing, and the inclosed copy of them will serve to show what a complicated question li-kin in this country is, even when reduced to its simplest terms by a foreign expert.\n\nAlthough the foreign merchant is not directly interested in the taxation of native produce, I have considered it wise to adhere to the precedent furnished by the Provisional Regulations applicable to the marts in Manchuria, translation of which was forwarded in my despatch No. 560 of the 28th November last, and in the note to the Wai-wu Pu copy of which forms Inclosure 3 in this despatch I have urged the extension of this arrangement to native goods carried by the Shanghae-Nanking Railway. This would insure uniformity of procedure, and would add to the earning powers of the railway, but the answer will probably be that there is no analogy between the two cases, the li-kin charges in Manchuria being the lightest, and those in Kiangsu probably the heaviest, in the Empire.\n\nThe extension of railways must in time bring its own solution of the question, and force the Chinese Government to reform its system of taxation, and therein lies, perhaps, the chief utility of the present discussion.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J.

Mais il n'en est pas moins vrai qu'à cette date-là il nous trouvait le droit de posséder et de gouverner Lappa, reconnaissant que nous y avions déjà eu des résidences.\n\nLe 1er Mars, 1887, Mr. James Duncan Campbell communiqua à son Excellence le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères à Lisbonne un télégramme envoyé par Sir Robert Hart pour établir les bases du Traité. L'Article 2 porte: Reconnaissance par Traité de la perpétuelle occupation et gouvernement de Macau et ses dépendances par le Portugal.\n\n5\n\nSir Robert Hart confirme cet Article dans un télégramme du 20 Mars, 1887 (p. 45 du Livre Blanc).\n\nDans ces termes a été rédigé l'Article 2 du Protocole de Lisbonne du 26 Mars, 1887, que l'Article 2 du Traité confirme entièrement.\n\nQu'elles étaient ces dépendances? Le négociateur du Traité, Souza Rosa, l'a clairement dit au Tsong-li Yamên: \"L'Ile Verte, Taipa, D. João (Macarira), Colovane, et Vong-Cam, et, bien entendu, toutes leurs eaux territoriales, restant bien compris que la juridiction Portugaise du côté ouest de la Péninsule de Macau s'étend sur toutes les eaux jusqu'à la côte est de Lappa et au rocher Apo-Léac.\"\n\nNous ne ... Donc, Lappa n'a pas d'eaux territoriales Chinoises dans sa côte est. Nous avons jamais reconnu, et de fait nous avons toujours exercé pleine juridiction sur toutes les eaux du port intérieur de Macau. Ce qui prouve, semble-t-il, que Lappa doit être considérée sous l'influence Portugaise, puisque ses eaux sont sous notre juridiction.\n\nLe 27 Avril des soldats Chinois débarquèrent à Vong-Cam (Montanha) et y établirent des postes et y hissèrent un pavillon. Les habitants de Vong-Cam se considèrent sous notre juridiction. Ils demandent permission au Gouvernement de Macau pour exploiter les carrières de pierre et les parcs à huîtres, et payent l'impôt de ces permissions. C'est aux abattoirs de Colovane qu'ils apportent leurs pores pour qu'ils y soient abattus, payant là volontairement l'impôt et la taxe dus pour ce service. Il nous payent en outre la contribution (l'impôt). Leur Ti-fu (autorité communale) de Manio, élu par eux, demande toujours sa confirmation au Préfet de Taipa et Colovane. C'est les habitants de Vong-Cam et le Ti-fu qui demandent cette confirmation au Préfet Portugais de Taipa et Colovane. Et sans cette confirmation ils ne considèrent pas l'élection du Ti-fu comme valable. La municipalité Portugaise de Taipa et Colovane paye et maintient l'école de Manio dans l'Ile de Vong-Cam (Montanha). A Vong-Cam la Chine ne lève aucun impôt indirect ou direct. De même à D. João (Macarira). Dans cette dernière île c'est le Portugal qui a toujours dominé. Nous y avons la ladrerie (hôpital pour les lépreux) de Pac-Salam, que nous entretenons et payons. Ceci semble vraiment un incontestable document d'occupation et d'administration. Comme à Vong-Cam, les Ti-fus (Maires, ou quelque chose d'y approchant) de D. João (Macarira) sont aussi élus par le peuple, qui en demande égale-ment la confirmation au Préfet de Taipa et Colovane. De même les propriétaires des parcs à huîtres, des appareils de pêche, et des carrières de D. João (Macarira) nous demandent la permission de les exploiter, et nous en payent l'impôt. Leurs écoles dépendent de nous. Dans ces deux îles, Vong-Cam et D. João (Macarira) les populations se sentent tellement sous notre juridiction que spontanément ils ont demandé que, à l'instar de ce que nous avons fait à Colovane, nous les dotions avec des gardes de police rurale.\n\nLégation de Portugal, Pékin [non datée].\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nMap of Macao.\n\n[Not printed.]\n\n0\n\n* Sie.\n\n284",

(Signed)\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n#### Report by Lieutenant-Colonel Pereira on Manchuria,\n\n1. Russians against Japanese in Manchuria.-At the actual termination of hostilities the Japanese held a line roughly running east and west through Chang-t'u Fu, whilst the Russian line ran roughly east and west through Ssu-p'ing-chieh Railway-station, but by the terms of peace the Japanese advanced their line 100 miles further north, whilst the Russians fell back 70 miles. What Russian officers now speak of as their boundary is a line running east and west at Erh-tao-kou Railway-station, the Russian terminus of the Chinese Eastern Railway, and slightly over 2 miles to the north-north-west of K'uan-ch'eng-tzu. Along the dividing line between the two spheres of influence the Japanese influence is constantly on the increase, whilst the Russian is continually on the wane. There are Russian and Japanese Consuls both at K'uan-ch'eng-tzu and Kirin. The Russo-Chinese Bank at Kirin has already been closed, whilst the Manager of the branch at K'uan-ch'eng-tzu thought it most likely that it would also shortly do the same. In the latter city there are about 2,000 Japanese (this includes a large number of prostitutes), whilst there are only a few Russian traders. A large Japanese Settlement with houses built in the Japanese fashion is being laid out to the north-west of the city, covering the ground between the city and the new railway-station. The Russian post at Erh-tao-kou consists at present of 300 soldiers under a Colonel. The officer selected for this important post is, like many other similar officers to be found in Siberia, one of those who have been constrained by domestic reasons to leave Russia, and whose sole enjoyments in life are apparently the pleasures of the dinner-table. As in the case of other Russian officers I have met since the war, I was struck by the callous indifference he displayed when talking of the disasters of the campaign.\n\nIn Kirin there are some 270 Japanese as against forty Russians, and, when the line connecting with K'uan-ch'eng-tzu is completed, Japanese prestige will be still further strengthened. Whilst the Russians appear to be indifferent, the Japanese are moving with energy.\n\n2. The Japanese and Chinese.-The Japanese are making the same mistake in Manchuria that they have committed in Korea. They treat the Chinese with harshness, and do nothing to soften the feelings of the natives. The Chinese, who always bend before the strong, cringe in their presence, but cordially detest them, and look back with regret to the time when they used to grow rich on the indolence of the Russians. Even in trading the Chinese cannot compete with the Japanese, who can bring up their goods by the railway at advantageous rates.\n\nThe Japanese are bad colonizers, trampling on the rights of the weaker race and flooding the land with the dregs of their own country. By inundating the towns and villages near the railway with their prostitutes, the Japanese have excited the contempt of the Chinese, who, blind to their own faults, are ready to notice the shortcomings of others. As these unfortunates will barter themselves at a lower rate than the Chinese women, they are able to carry on a lucrative trade with the natives. It is incomprehensible...\n\n→ The Maps are not reproduced.\n\n(1933 g―6]",

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received September 21.)\n\n(No. 360. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nPeking, August 6, 1908. 15 00:08\n\nI HAVE the honour to report on the course which the negotiations between Portugal and China have taken since my despatch No. 330 of the 21st July was written.\n\nOn the 31st July M. Brederode, the Portuguese Chargé d'Affaires, received from the Wai-wu Pu a note in reply to his communication of the 17th July, copy of which I have the honour to transmit to you herewith.\n\nThis note, after repeating their former contention that the stationing of Chinese troops at Vong-cam and other places could not be considered a violation of Article 2 of the Treaty of 1887, went on to state that China was the original lord of the soil, and that with the exception of Macao, which was subject to the procedure applicable to leased territory, the rest remained under the jurisdiction of China.\n\nThe passage is somewhat obscurely worded, but I think there can be no doubt that it is susceptible of the above interpretation, and having regard to the past history of the question it is not improbable that the ambiguity is an intentional attempt to reassert the vested interest in Macao, which, as Sir J. Walsham's despatch No. 76 of the 9th November, 1887, so clearly shows, China abandoned with great reluctance when she concluded the Treaty of the 1st December of that year.\n\nFeeling that the passage as it stood struck at the roots of the 1857 Treaty, I advised M. Brederode to insist upon its removal or modification before proceeding further with the negotiations, and as he experienced some difficulty in dealing with the matter himself I consented to undertake it in the first instance unofficially myself. Mr. Campbell, Chinese Secretary to the Legation, accordingly called at the Wai-wu Pu on the 4th instant, and in explaining fully to the Grand Secretary, Na Tung, the objectionable nature of the statement conveyed to him from me a friendly suggestion for its withdrawal.\n\nHis Excellency thanked Mr. Campbell for calling his attention to the matter in an informal way and promised to consider the suggestion and let me have an early reply.\n\nAs illustrating the preparations which are being made for eventualities at Macao, I beg to inclose an extract from a private letter which recently reached me from Mr. Porter, of the Canton Consulate-General, who had been spending a few days in the Portuguese Colony.\n\nThe presence of a large number of Cantonese in the Government here, who have an intimate knowledge of Macao and its past history, militates, I fear, against an amicable settlement of this long-standing dispute at present.\n\nI have, &c.

Joined Kak-meng-thong (revolutionary sect) 6th moon last year. I was being superseded by the Chinese Government. I was the Commander at the attack on the fort, commanded the western attack. Wong Meng Tong was my second in command. Ho Ng commanded the Cheng Nam Kwan division. We attacked from three directions. I had four files of eight men with twelve rifles. Wong Meng Tong had six files with twenty-two rifles and Ho Ng had three files with twelve rifles.\n\nWe only had thirty rifles. We captured three forts. I took the middle one. Meng Tong the north one and Ho Ng the southern one. Each fort had a garrison of nine men. They all surrendered and joined us in all twenty-nine men with twenty-nine rifles (ten shot-repeaters). We took the forts at daybreak 27th of 10th moon. On the same day 1,200 men attacked us, and up to the 1st of 11th moon 2,000 more joined the enemy and surrounded us. We were fighting seven days and nights. With the forts we captured three 80-pr. breech-loader guns, four muzzle-loaders, three big brass guns, one machine gun, and plenty of ammunition. In these seven days I had two men killed and two wounded. We killed over 200 Manchus. Finally, when we ran short of rifle ammunition, we had to leave the fort. We left at night on the 4th at 3 P.M. We were fired on and fired back. We broke through and reached the border, 3 kilom. away.\n\nWe came into Manyun and the French put us in the train for Hanoi. The French did not see the rifles. The men with them gave them to others who went to another place. The French had a European \"four stripes\" and some native soldiers, perhaps 100. Before we started we were told that if we were defeated we must not recross the French border with rifles. That is why we hid them. Dr. Sun told us so. On the night of the 29th Dr. Sun and the \"four stripes\" came to us in the fort. We were fighting and the French officer fired three rounds for us.\n\nHe aimed for us at the General's staff quarters. The second shot fell in the back of it. On the 1st he and Dr. Sun left together. The Manchu troops had not then surrounded us. They had six Annamite soldiers with them. Dr. Sun had several Chinese students with him. At Hanoi we were met by French officials and Yun Kat Theng, our manager, and Yeong Shau Phang, his assistant, were sent for and told to find a home for us. The manager did so and paid us 3 dollars a-month and our food. Then there was a good deal of negotiating between China and France about us.\n\nThe French refused to give us up. Shortly after Wong Meng Tong went up to Yaunan and captured Ho-kau. A Taotai Wong was killed. Then China pressed the French again about us, and after more correspondence the French promised to send us away. Yun Yat Theng told us that we were to be sent to Singapore, a British Colony where Dr. Sun was, where he and the staff of the Singapore newspaper \"Chong Shing Tao\" would look after us. Consequently we came here. I ask that we may be allowed to stay here and be released.\n\nWe were told that the newspaper would be security for us. If we cannot be allowed to remain here we should like to return to Hanoi. We only want to land here and then gradually work back to Hanoi and China. We were promised protection by the French authorities, or we would not have dared to use French territory for attacking China.\n\nWe met for the attack on the border. The French knew what we were going to do. They had telegraphed to the Taotai that an attack was intended, but he did nothing, or we could not have taken the forts. It was he who has been promoted for recapturing the forts. If the French had tried to stop us we should not have dared to do anything. They said that it was no business of theirs. Our whole force was 104 men. If I had had more rifles I should have gone on and taken Lung-chau. We did have some talk with one or two of the sergeants in the forts before we attacked them. They wanted 500 dollars for surrendering them. Ever since the Sung Dynasty, over 800 years, my family have been the hereditary officers in the district, and I would never have turned against the Government if a Manchu official (a Chinese) had not been sent who took away my land and everything belonging to me and tried to harm my wife and family. There are nineteen of us hereditary officers and eleven have been abolished. My family is now safe in French territory.\n\nMay 20, 1908.\n\n(\n\n$\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nFrench Minister to Prince Ch'ing.\n\nMonseigneur,\n\n[Undated.] A MESURE que parviennent à notre connaissance les résultats de l'enquête contradictoire menée par les Délégués de nos deux Gouvernements sur l'attentat de Phalong, la gravité de celui-ci apparaît de plus en plus grande, et la responsabilité des autorités Chinoises de plus en plus engagée.\n\nAyant violé la frontière Française pour poursuivre les révolutionnaires du Yunnan, et s'étant avancés très loin sur le territoire Français, les réguliers Chinois ont ouvert le feu sur un détachement Français qui désarmait ces révolutionnaires, et ils ont continué la fusillade malgré l'avis répété qu'ils avaient en face d'eux des soldats Français du poste de Phalong; puis, comme les Français, ne voulant pas riposter, se retiraient à l'intérieur des maisons du village Français de Laoka pour échapper au feu meurtrier des réguliers Chinois, ceux-ci envahirent ces maisons et là à bout portant - Ce lâche assassinat est tué le Lieutenant Weigand et trois de ses hommes.\n\nencore rendu plus odieux par le fait que les réguliers Chinois emportèrent de Laoka comme trophées les têtes de trois soldats Français qu'ils avaient tués dans les champs avoisinant le village.\n\nJ'ai en l'honneur de remettre au Wai-wou Pou il y a quelques jours un Mémorandum relatant ces douloureuses nouvelles, et je ne doute point qu'à leur lecture votre Altesse n'ait reconnu la nécessité de ne pas faire attendre plus longtemps à la France les légitimes réparations que j'ai, en son nom, réclamées du Gouvernement Chinois dès le 13 du mois dernier.\n\nCes réparations sont——\n\n1. La punition des officiers et des soldats Chinois coupables des attentats commis sur le territoire Français.\n\n2. Le déplacement du Vice-Roi du Yunnan, Si-Léang, qui, paresseusement terré à Tonghai - c'est-à-dire, à plus de cinq jours de distance de tout endroit où se soient montrés les révolutionnaires - a laissé par son incurie et son incapacité les événements prendre un si triste cours.\n\n3. Une indemnité de 250,000 fr. pour les victimes des attentats commis par les réguliers Chinois, ou pour les familles de celles-ci.\n\n4. Le respect et la garantie des droits concédés à des Français dans la Province du Yunnan, notamment à la Société du Lin Can, au Syndicat Minier du Yünnan, et à la Compagnie du Chemin de Fer; les derniers troubles ont causé aux entreprises et travaux de ces diverses Associations des pertes matérielles graves, dont la responsabilité retombe encore sur son Excellence Si-Léang ou ses subordonnés, et dont le Gouvernement Français se réserve de demander le dédommagement.\n\nTrop de semaines se sont déjà écoulées depuis que le sang Français a été versé, sans qu'aucune réparation effective ait été donnée à la France par le Gouvernement Chinois; un plus long délai, surtout après les tristes détails qui viennent d'être mis au jour par l'enquête, pourrait donner lieu à des interprétations que votre Altesse, j'en suis sûr, a autant à cœur que moi d'éviter. Aussi, je ne doute pas qu'elle ne hâte de tout son pouvoir l'octroi à la France des demandes présentées par mon entremise au Wai-won Pou il y a déjà plus de six semaines, et que je suis chargé de renouveler aujourd'hui.\n\nInclosure 3 in No 1.\n\nExtract of Letter from Singapore Official.\n\nWe\n\nSUN YAT SEN is living here very quietly and trying, without much success, to collect money.\n\nHis following among the local Chinese is of the very smallest. We have warned him that, in case of trouble, we shall imitate Hong Kong and deport him. We had six more \"révolutionnaires\" the other day from Hanoi, and have declined to take any more.\n\nThese had been concerned in an attack upon Fengsheng, in the Canton Province, on the 3rd September, 1907, and had been arrested on the 20th October, 1907, in Tonquin for non-payment of poll-tax, and interned until now. From the statements made to me by all these men, there is not the slightest doubt that the French knew what Yat Sen and his party were doing, and that they deliberately allowed them to do it. The conclusion seems obvious that they hoped to get political gains, Railway Concessions, and such-like, by subsequently undertaking to alter their course of action.",

When later, at her decree, we personally assumed the direction of affairs, we looked for guidance to the ancestral precepts of the sacred ones before us, in devotion of our Government and love toward our people, made the fear of Heaven and the example of our forefathers the mainspring of every act.\n\n\"During four-and-thirty years we have looked up to the directions which we have craved from Her Majesty; we have in our day been concerned with a myriad of tasks, in all of which her counsel has been sought. With consciousness of the difficulty of our times, we have selected a middle course between Chinese and foreign rules of Government.

I have recently opened negotiations with Deputy Soo Ching Hung Fo, Manager of the Telegraph Department of Wai Chow, with regard to the construction of a telegraph line parallel to our Railway line between Canton and Sam Chun.\n\nOur proposal is to construct a first-class line, 3 wires to be at the disposal of our Railway and 6 for the Chinese Telegraph Department, Railway telegraph offices being under our control on terms of agreement similar to those in force on the Shanghai-Nanking Railway.\n\nAs you will anticipate, the idea of the Chinese department is to supplant existing wires between Canton, Sheklung, Sam Chun, Kowloon, and Hongkong.\n\nMy reason for putting this before you is that Mr. Soo has asked me to enquire if your Government will meet us by allowing the Chinese Telegraph Department wires (6 or less) to proceed to Kowloon on your Railway posts and thence to the Hongkong Telegraph Office by cable.\n\nI understand that the Chinese telegraph communication already passes over the British leased territory and passes by cable to Hongkong, and their idea is, I understand, to now provide for communication in the manner indicated.

The river steamer Ying King foundered with a loss of 424 lives, including those of the Master and 3 European passengers. Inside and outside the harbour limits 17 European and 123 native craft were sunk, many more being wrecked or damaged. The loss of Government property alone was estimated at $100,000. The storm swept on to Canton where great destruction of river craft and much loss of life occurred,\n\nUnder instructions from Your Lordship a bill was introduced into the Legislative Council to provide for the Transfer to the Government of Hongkong of the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund and of the Management and Control of the Pensions of Widows and Orphans. The bill was passed on the 30th July and the fund amounting to a sum of $371,321 was transferred to the general revenue of the Colony, out of which the pensions in question will in future be paid.\n\nA riot broke out in the town of Victoria on the 1st and 2nd of November in connection with a boycott of Japanese goods by the Cantonese. This boycott was due to the feeling excited in China by the Talsu Maru affair, and was actively organized by the \"National Disgrace Society\" at Canton. It soon spread to Hongkong, where the Government from the first took active steps to combat it with the result that by the autumn several Chinese merchants in the Colony had again begun to trade in Japanese goods. This gradual failure of the boycott movement in Hongkong dissatisfied the more violent agitators in Canton, who, thereupon, made this Colony the scene of an organized riot, which had for its object the destruction of the shops and goods of such Chinese merchants as had abandoned the anti-Japanese boycott. The affair was arranged with such secrecy and skill that the Police of the Colony were completely taken by surprise, and for the purpose of restoring law and order it was necessary to call upon the Military Authorities for assistance. A proclamation was forthwith issued declaring the Colony subject to the provisions of the Peace Preservation Ordinance and with the help of the troops order was restored by the evening of the 2nd November. After that date there was no further outbreak and drastic steps were taken to deal with the instigators of the outrage. In no instance was a Japanese shop or a Japanese subject attacked.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient,\n\nhumble servant,\n\nGovernor, &c.\n\n#612.2\n\nSa-tsing\n\nHONG KONG,\n\nKOWLOON AND ADJACENT TERRITORIES.\n\nTUNGShak KWAN\nPiang tidKon Lan\nAaong tuhoTong-lak\nLung koagHsin hi\nTai-Tong-tu KU ISHA N\nTong poiCheng-hang\nkungShaktboug tea\nBIASWo-shak gain\nApo kiLong-heu\nFule-yunYong tai shan\nLunga sin:Wang-kong\nl'an-tonSa wen\n5 Tai-wb - chumanMa-ham\n3 Lok-shule-trenyTong hang\nShong-tung \"Kaicking ByFeñ-tea-sha\nPa kongTison kui -chun.\nTAI-PUNG-SANGSa-ng-chung\nWong muTiptun\nPallashaPichau\nBVKI ANG\n\nCANTON RIVER\n\nSai fleungFa-trai\nNAM-/TAOs TACHM\nBAYRing Cheng\nTai-Kwaimiu\nNo chuLin-tin\nChak-won!Luna\nTai-oMoi-fim\nPuhakHS IN\nAMNGAN Low-long (SUN-ON Sone con Jam\nSha-tauLongtounty\nORE P\nBAFHAU - HOI\nYan-haShui wan ten.\nFTai, shut hang\nPing-shayZo Shui-leu.\nPet long, Chin shanĹSu-chav\nNam-longLe ChaBy\nChulu kakIdin ten a\nMiguChui-yen\nTu longLe-man\nLin-chancJ£ ¢\nKane KinKagi Shni Hun\nSha tagYam ten &\nMKath Croolgi\nSong chauSha-iauskok\nLakes Criscont.

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nThe north and west of the province, extending to Southern Chih-li. A missionary at **Lin-ch'ing Chou** told me that the first crop of wheat in those parts was very poor, as also the pea-nuts and fruit, on which the people largely depend for cash, and the cotton, which employs so many people for spinning in the winter.\n\nAn agent of the Anglo-American Tobacco Company told me that the people were so poor that they were knocking off all superfluous luxuries, and could not afford to buy cigarettes. This Company deserves to succeed owing to the energetic way in which it is boomed. There is hardly a town of any importance that I pass through in any part of China which is not profusely placarded with posters proclaiming the perfections of the \"Peacock\" or \"Pirate\" brand of cigarettes.\n\nAt Lai-chou Fu, thousands of coolies were engaged in digging a gigantic hole in search for some talisman which would cause rain.\n\n### 5. Railways\n\nThe route for the proposed railway from Chefoo to Wei Hsien has been surveyed. The capital is to be all Chinese. It has been found that the cost will be 10,000,000 dollars, instead of 4,000,000 dollars, as at first calculated.\n\nAs only 2,000,000 dollars can be raised, it has been decided only to make the line at present from Chefoo to Huang Hsien.\n\nOn the Shan-tung Railway, I was struck by the excellence of the arrangements; German officials were very little in evidence, and nearly all the local arrangements were made by Chinese, who struck me as being exceedingly civil and a great contrast to the Chinese employés on the Ching-han and Shan-hsi Railways.\n\n### 6. Missionaries\n\nThe Franciscans divide the northern part of Shan-tung, the French portion taking the eastern section and the Dutch portion the western section. The English Baptists and American Presbyterians are also chiefly in evidence in these parts, and have combined to form a university for Chinese, with the Arts and Science College at Wei Hsien for 240 pupils, and a theological college at Ch'ing-chou Fu, in which 140 Chinese students are going through a seven years' course, preparatory to working in the Mission. The Medical College in Chi-nan Fu has not yet been started.\n\n### 7. Anti-dynastic Societies\n\nA missionary said that they were increasing in the cities, whilst among the soldiers of the 5th Division at Chi-nan Fu, there is reported to be a strong following.\n\n### 8. The Grand Canal from the South to the Yellow River\n\nThe watershed crosses the Grand Canal at Lung-wang-miao, 54 miles (180 li) south of Tung-a Hsien and the Yellow River, whilst at An-shan, 21 miles (70 li) to the south, the canal, which used to flow northerly, is now blocked, and boats instead descend the Ching Ho, till the Yellow River is reached 14 miles south-west of Chiang-chia-kou, the ferry across the Yellow River, 2 miles to the west of Tung-a Hsien. From Chiang-chia-kou, an embankment runs westwards near or alongside the north bank of the Yellow River to T'ao-ch'eng-p'u, a distance of 12 miles. It is about 12 feet above the level of the plain and 16 feet to 25 feet wide. The hills end on the south bank of the Yellow River, and, except for two solitary hillocks just north of the river, I did not see any approach to a hill again till I sighted the western hills near Peking. This great plain, as far as I could see, was everywhere one gigantic field covered with crops (kao-liang, millet, maize, beans, and cotton), and thickly studded with villages, which get more scattered going north.\n\n### 9. The Grand Canal from the Yellow River to Lin-ch'ing Chou\n\nFormerly the tribute grain boats used to come up it, but they have not used it since the Boxer trouble in 1900. This section of the Grand Canal is closed by earth dams, the one on the Yellow River being a mile to the east of Tao-ch'eng-p'u. Formerly this used to be cut and the water from the Yellow River used to fill the canal bed. At the present time, the canal bed is quite dry from the dam to Tung-ch'ang Fu, a distance of about 28 miles, and the thrifty population have hastened to cultivate both the banks and bed. In this part of the country, there are countless side roads, evidently used by farm carts. Tung-ch'ang Fu is a fairly large city, and the most symmetrical I have seen in China; in fact, it is nearly a perfect square. There is a good deal of waste inside the walls, and the chief business is in the east suburb. The prefecture shares with that of Ts'ao-chou further south the reputation of being one of the worst brigand centres in China. Fortunately, however, the two principal brigands, who had a provincial reputation, were captured in the last two years, and since then the country has been more peaceful. The priest at Tung-ch'ang Fu told me that there had been a slight revival of Boxerism at Kao-tang Chou to the north-east, but it quieted down when the rains came. The canal was repaired in 1906 between Tung-chang Fu and Lin-ching Chou, a distance of about 40 miles, and is now used by small boats. It was 3 or more feet deep, with muddy water.\n\n## 3\n\nThe canal makes a bend to the south just below Lin-ch'ing Chou, and there is another earth dam across about 2 miles to the south of the city. On my arrival, I found this dam had been cut to let in some water from the Wei River, but it was closed again before I left on the following day. The resident missionaries stated they had never before heard of the dam being cut. The chief object of the dam in the old days, apparently, was that it afforded a chance of \"squeeze,\" as when the tribute boats, &c., arrived, they had to be unloaded on one side and reloaded on the other, whilst the boat was dragged over. The reason the officials gave for not opening the dam was that the Wei River was infested by a dragon, who would tear up the banks of the Grand Canal if he once got into it. About half a mile below the dam, the canal passes through a lock bridge and joins the Wei River.\n\nThe missionaries stated that formerly the inhabitants of Lin-ch'ing Chou were very anti-foreign, but that the feeling has now quite died out. The post from Chi-nan Fu to Peking takes three and a-half days, going by courier viâ Lin-ch'ing Chou to Shun-te Fu, where the railway is reached.\n\nFrom Chi-nan Fu to Lin-ch'ing Chou, I was treated with an excess of kindness by all the officials, and escorts accompanied me all the way. One cavalry soldier, overcome by the liberality of my gratuities, announced his intention of joining my service as groom, till I reminded him that the Chinese punishment for desertion was the cutting off of one or more ears.\n\n### 10. The Grand Canal from Lin-ch'ing Chou to Tien-tsin\n\nThis section is, of course, really the Wei (or Yä) River. At the time of my visit in August, it was exceptionally high, water very muddy, very strong current and 50 to 60 yards wide. The banks are in places eaten away, and a missionary said that nothing is being done to keep them in repair, and there is great danger of the river one day bursting its banks and carrying destruction over a great low-lying region.\n\nI made the distance between Lin-ching Chou and Tien-tsin (259 miles), and I took 70 hours of actual travelling by boat, averaging 3.7 miles an hour. Up to Te Chou, it is exceedingly winding, and the land route is much quicker.\n\n| Location        | Distance from Lin-ch'ing Chou | Description                                                                 |\n|-----------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Ssu-nü-ssů      | 72 miles                      | Can drain the river                                                        |\n| Chu-tien        | 1672 miles                    | Can drain the river                                                        |\n| Ising-chi-chên  | 1883 miles                    | Can drain the river                                                        |\n| Ma-ch'ang       | 2062 miles                    | Can drain the river via Hsiao-chan Canal                                   |\n\nThe river can be drained by four canals. The river may be divided into two sections, namely, from Lin-ching Chou to the Hsiao-chan Canal. In this section, it is usually 50 to 60 yards wide, and I rarely found it less than 10 feet deep, often over 15 feet. There are only reported to be two shallow places in this section, both above Tê Chou. At the second one, I found it was 9 feet deep.\n\nThe second section is from the Hsiao-chan Canal to Tien-tsin, the canal being from 30 to 40 yards wide, sometimes less. This part is shallower, and I usually found it from 9 to 11 feet deep. The country is low-lying, and villages and towns are usually actually on the river banks or else at a distance away.\n\nThere is a vast amount of traffic on the river; the boats are mostly pulled up by gangs of from four to thirteen men, who for a miserable pittance work like slaves, and appear always to be contented. With the exception of one or two Government boats, there are no steam launches on the river. Ferries are numerous, but there is not a single bridge till Tien-tsin is reached.\n\nAll along the banks, countless numbers of villagers were employed in throwing up water from the river into a hollowed-out basin, from which it was again thrown up on to the level of the fields. Comparatively few, who were in more affluent circumstances, were able to do the work with a donkey and a wheel.\n\n(Signed) G.

We hear that the officials are taking active steps in both prefectures by prosecuting dealers under the notification for not complying with its terms, and also have made confiscations of opium.\n\nWe would therefore be exceedingly obliged to you if you would bring this matter to the notice of the Viceroy with a view to the withdrawal by the Viceroy of the notifications and Proclamations objected to, which have already been withdrawn in Canton.\n\nIn the meantime our trade has been seriously disorganized, and a feeling of uncertainty appears to exist in the minds of all connected with the trade. It seems a pity that while the Viceroy withdrew the notifications and restrictions in Canton, he did not direct their withdrawal in other prefectures, knowing full well that, unless he issued definite instructions in that regard, they would be brought into force, and that our trade would be seriously hampered.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n**David Sassoon and Co.

Failing the obtaining of such licence, the seller of raw opium shall be fined and his goods confiscated, and, failing the obtaining of such permit, the quantity bought by the purchaser will also be confiscated and both he and the seller will be fined.\n\nThe sale of raw opium by our shops extends as far as the Fokien Province and Kiangsi Province, the Hing Ling district and the Ka Ying Prefecture. Each of the foregoing places is, more or less, 100 miles away from our shops.\n\nOur usual practice in selling raw opium is: A customer sends us an order for the amount of goods he wants, either by post, by passage boat, or by a travelling trader, and we have an account with him. We give him credit, and he settles our accounts either monthly, quarterly, or yearly.\n\nHow can our customers living 100 miles away from our places of business obtain a permit from the Magistrate of our district?\n\nThe notification put up by the Magistrate compels us to take a licence before the 30th of this moon, failing which our shops will not be allowed to carry on their business. Our firms are wholesale dealers and licences will be granted if we apply for them, but no licence will be granted to a retail dealer, that is to say, no dealer's shop will be allowed in the Prefecture of Chui Chow.\n\nRetail dealers are those who sell the raw opium in quantities of less than a ball. There have never been any cases of fining, confiscation, or seizure of opium in the Prefecture of Chui Chow, but there have been several such cases in the Prefecture of Wui Chow; one of such seizures took place on the 8th of the 8th moon (3rd September, 1908), and again on the 16th of the 9th moon (10th October, 1908).\n\nThe seizure of opium and the fines in both cases were carried out by Wong Sau Tsing, the Sub-Magistrate of Lam Hau (or Lam Hau Shi).\n\nThe regulation compelling people to take out a licence in Canton has lately been abolished. The restrictions not allowing people to deal in prepared opium have nothing to do with the raw opium business.\n\nThe British Consul in Canton should now write to the Viceroy asking him to instruct, or wire to, the Prefect of Chui Chow directing him to withdraw such notification, and further asking him to issue fresh notifications stating that the restrictions for prepared opium have nothing to do with raw opium, that is to say, that dealers in raw opium should be allowed to carry on their business as usual, either in wholesale or in retail.\n\n### Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMessrs.

(Limited)**.  \n(And others.)\n\n### Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nStatement made by various Traders in Raw Opium carrying on business in Swatow.\n\nWe are raw opium dealers, living and carrying on business in the Prefecture of Chui Chow, in the Province of Kwong Tung.\n\nNotifications have been lately put up by the Magistrate of the Hoi Yeung district stating that he had received instructions from the Prefect of Chui Chow that all dealers...\n\n### Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul General Fox to Viceroy Chang,\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nCanton, November 19, 1908.\n\nOn the 8th October last I had the honour to receive a despatch from your Excellency on the subject of the new Opium Licensing Regulations, in which you stated that there would be no interference with the wholesale trade carried on between the native shops and British importing firms, and that you had instructed the provincial authorities to issue a fresh Proclamation on the subject, so that misapprehensions on the part of British merchants in Hong Kong might be entirely removed.\n\nI have now received a Petition from the British opium merchants in Hong Kong stating that, while in the Canton Prefecture your Excellency's instructions have been acted upon, in Chui Chow, Wui Chow, and other outlying prefectures your Excellency's instructions have been apparently misunderstood, and the local officials are prosecuting native opium dealers for failure to comply with the new Regulations and confiscating opium as a penalty. Petitioners state that this action is disorganizing the import trade and causing them serious inconvenience and loss. They beg that the Viceroy be requested to send definite instructions to the local authorities concerned not to interfere with the wholesale raw opium trade.\n\nI have the honour to observe that, as in the Canton Prefecture the new Licensing Regulations have not been found to interfere with the wholesale trade in raw opium, the complaints of the British opium merchants with regard to Wui Chow and Chui Chow must be due to the fact that the local authorities in those places are carrying out the Regulations in a harsh and inconsiderate manner, without regard to the important interests involved.",

I may point out that the proposal is favourable to the railway from our point of view, and would facilitate construction of the telegraph line.\n\n2. I would further mention that it would probably be necessary for the railway wires to be joined up at our junction, so that Canton could communicate with Kowloon with reference to traffic and other matters.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**FRANK GROVE**, \nEngineer-in-chief.\n\n# Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\n## Mr. May to Mr. Grove.\n\n### Colonial Secretary's Office, Hong Kong, September 29, 1908.\n\nSir,\n\nIN reply to your letter of the 1st instant, I am directed to state that this Government is not prepared to allow the six wires of the Chinese Telegraph Department to proceed to Kowloon on British railway posts and thence to the Hong Kong telegraph office by cable, since it would introduce the principle of a foreign Government owning and working a telegraph line in British territory, but that his Excellency the Governor will be glad to make arrangements for connecting the six wires at the frontier with wires belonging to this Government to be led into offices under the control of the Hong Kong Government.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**F. H. MAY**, \nColonial Secretary.\n\nPage 131\nFeb-1905\n\nI am directed to acknowledge receipt of your letter (`1668709`) of the 27th instant with regard to the future working of the telegraph line from the border across the Chinese Leased Territory to Kowloon + to state that his Lordship proposes that the Government should await an expression of opinion from the Crown on the subject until he has received Mr. J. Jordan's despatch before offering any further comment.",

He sat up in a dazed manner and when his ticket was demanded he, after some delay, tendered 50 cents and it was handed to me. I looked at the man and he appeared to me to be dazed with opium. I remarked this as I passed on. We finished collecting tickets about 25 minutes past 11 p.m. There was no disturbance or noise of any kind while I was on deck. There were 666 passengers on the lower deck. The lower deck is fairly well lit with electric light. If a passenger is asleep he is usually shaken up by his shoulders. I have never seen any member of the crew kick a passenger to wake him up. It is usually opium smokers who have to be wakened by shaking. With 600 passengers on the lower deck it would be impossible to walk across the deck without touching some of them. The accused went round with me to collect the tickets. We sometimes have to shake a man more than once.\n\nChan Kim Cho, Compradore, was called and said: I went down with the captain after some passengers had told me that a man had been kicked to death. It was about 12:30 a.m. I do not know any of the men who spoke to me on the lower deck.\n\n## THE DECISION\n\nDecember\n\nCANTON\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\nand the Japanese Doctor of the Reform Army, one English Doctor, and one Doctor of the Canton Ambulance Society. It is reported that the Chinese insist that another trial should be held, this time at the Portuguese Consular Court.\n\nNovember. A dispatch to that effect is said to have been sent by the Viceroy to the Portuguese Consul-General. A boycott of the steamer is also on the programme at the instigation of the Self-Government Association.\n\nH.E. Viceroy Chang has notified General and Military officials of all ranks in the Kwangtung Province that they must not attend strictly to their duties out of the State mourning in accordance with the law. All officials are requested to remain in their respective Bureaux and no leave of absence be granted.\n\nThe 72 Guild Tress comments on the decision of the Court as follows:\n\nIn reviewing the case in which the deceased was wounded by a kick he received near the heart from the foot of the accused, and also a blow given with the hand, both of which were causes of the man's death, it should be said that in both instances there were marks of injuries and there was the clear evidence of numerous persons proving it beyond doubt. Therefore it was impossible for the accused to be excused or held blameless. In reviewing the evidence given by the fellow passengers of the steamer, one of them not only said that the accused did not beat the man to death but that he did not beat anybody at all. The passenger died because he was ill when he went on board the steamer and he died a natural death. They actually hushed up a case of such grave importance. This can only be described as arbitrary, and treating the Chinese people with contempt. The evidence was false and trumped up and there were many contradictions.\n\nAt the conclusion of the enquiry, the British Consul-General said: The proceedings at this preliminary enquiry are not altogether regular, for two reasons: firstly, no definite charge has been framed against the watchman, Noronha, of having caused the death of this passenger. The Viceroy's letter simply states that a Chinese passenger on the Fatshan has been murdered by a foreigner; no further details are given. However, as I learnt from other sources that the watchman Noronha was accused of having done this thing, and as he voluntarily came to this Consulate-General and offered himself for investigation into the truth of the allegations against him, I decided to hold the enquiry.\n\nIn the second place, Noronha is a Portuguese subject and as such, if a serious charge of this nature is preferred against him, he should be tried by his own Consul. But I decided, in consultation with my Portuguese colleague, M. de Moraes, that, in view of the fact that the alleged criminal offence had been committed on board a British steamer by a person on that steamer's articles, and in view of the popular excitement prevailing in regard to this case, it would be expedient that I should first hold a preliminary inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of this passenger on the Fatshan. This I have done in as public and thorough a manner as possible. A deputy from the Viceroy has been present at the hearing, taking notes and cross-examining the witnesses. The public, including members of the Chinese press, have been allowed to be present and the Portuguese Consul-General has occupied a seat in Court.\n\nI have come to the conclusion, after carefully considering all the evidence that has been brought forward yesterday and to-day, that there is not sufficient evidence to justify me in handing over the accused to his Consul on a charge of having caused the death of this passenger. Of the 600 odd passengers on the Fatshan that night, only two came forward to testify that they had seen the accused assault the deceased, and their evidence, for reasons which I have mentioned before, I am bound to regard with grave suspicion. On the other hand, Dr. Davenport's evidence, given in the clearest and most explicit manner, goes to show that the deceased died a natural death. Under these circumstances, the accused, as far as the Court is concerned, is discharged. It is open to the Chinese Authorities, should they consider the result of this enquiry unsatisfactory, to charge the accused in the Portuguese Consular Court, where, I am sure, all charges made against him will receive an impartial and fair hearing. I will ask Mr. Greaves, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's Agent, to hold himself responsible for Noronha's appearance when called upon.\n\nMr. Greaves gave the necessary assurance.\n\n## CHINESE COMMENTS ON THE CASE\n\nThe local Press is still publishing hostile articles concerning the matter, and a petition has been sent to the Viceroy praying that the body of the deceased may be exhumed and a fresh post-mortem examination held by three doctors, viz.\n\n## EXCITEMENT AT CANTON\n\nThere is great excitement in the City (writes our Canton correspondent) over the decision re the s.s. Fatshan incident. A boycott of the Sternhaut Company's entire fleet appears to be threatening.\n\nI have no doubt the excitement would soon fizzle out if the local authorities were to issue a proclamation explaining clearly to the public the facts of the inquiry or if the proceedings at the inquiry and the evidence of both foreign and Chinese witnesses were translated and published in the leading local papers.\n\nBelow is a translation of a circular issued by the Self-Government Association, which I give is apparently the first step towards a boycott movement:\n\nWe beg respectfully to inform the public that on the night of the 6th day of this moon (29th Nov.), a Chinaman was kicked to death by a foreigner on board the s.s. Fatshan. The following patriotic and eminent persons, viz., Yeong Wo Kai, Cheong Lau Ki, Tung Chun Kwan, and Tam Show Po, were strangers to the deceased, yet they possessed such patriotic and honourable feelings as to come forward as witnesses to give evidence in the case and petitioned the Authorities to obtain redress on behalf of the deceased. This really shows the sincerity of their feelings and ardent love of their country and their brethren.\n\nFrom inquiries made, we learn that all these patriots are business men. For several days they have wasted their precious time and toilsome labour. Those who are regarded as our brothers must really respect them. We have decided to invite these patriots to come to the Association on the 10th day of this moon (3rd instant) for the purpose of taking their photographs, which we will carefully preserve as a remembrance. We therefore invite all our brothers to attend at the Association on that day to pay their respects to them.\n\n## ENCOURAGING NATIVE INDUSTRY\n\nIn a dispatch sent to the Viceroy, the Board of Agriculture, Labour, and Commerce in the Kiang-su Province has stated that the cotton cloth manufactured in the above province is strong, fine, white, and its quality is far superior to that manufactured in Bombay. Hitherto, its consumption has been confined to several southern and eastern provinces, but of late years, this cloth has found its way into those provinces and has been ousting the native cloth. Recently, the Board has received several Imperial Edicts commanding them to encourage native manufactures.\n\nThe Board requests the Viceroy to give instructions to all Military and Police Departments and the Directors of Schools and Colleges in the Province of Kwangtung to purchase the native cloth manufactured in Kiang-su for the use of the military, police, and students. The Viceroy has issued an order to that effect.\n\n## BLACKMAIL\n\nThe International Banking Corporation has again received a letter demanding $100,000 blackmail to be paid within five days on account of a certain Shek Loong junk.\n\n## CANTON-HANKOW RAILWAY\n\nThe total sum of money due on the instalment of the shares of the Canton-Hankow Railway Company amounts to over $1,600,000, out of which about $1,300,000 has been collected by the Company up to the 30th day of the 10th moon (23rd instant). From this amount, the sum of $200,000 has been paid into the Company in drafts or promissory notes to be collected on the date.\n\n## THE FATSHAN LINE\n\nIt is reported that recently complaints have been made by many passengers of the Fatshan Railway of articles missing from the luggage cars.\n\nOwing to the recent increase of railway traffic, many steam launches have been placed on the Canton-Fatshan run, and, if stern measures are not taken to put a check to the pilfering, it is causing great annoyance to travellers, and the bulk of the passenger trade will fall into the hands of the steam launch owners.\n\n## OBJECTION TO A KEROSINE DEPOT\n\nA British firm purchased a piece of land at Samshui for the purpose of building a kerosine depot. The gentry there objected to a kerosine depot and applied to the Sam-shui Magistrate to issue an injunction restraining the firm from erecting the depot on the ground that \"kerosine is dangerous goods.\" The Magistrate reported the matter to the Viceroy, who directed the Provincial Treasurer to investigate and settle the question.\n\n## THE ENTHRONEMENT OF THE NEW EMPEROR\n\nThe Viceroy has received cables from Peking to notify the officials and people of the Kwangtung Province of the enthronement of the young Emperor, which will take place on the 1st day of the 1st moon, and that the Grand Council has decided that the two characters \"Shuen Tung\" shall be the title of the reign of the new Emperor. As it is customary in many lines of trade to use the title of the reigning Emperor on the goods manufactured, the cablegram expressly instructs His Excellency to issue proclamations to the public that all articles and goods now being manufactured for the forthcoming year must bear the title of the new Emperor.\n\n## NEW COINS\n\nThe Viceroy is also in receipt of instructions from the Board of Revenue...\n\n`Mr. Fox's dispatch No. 71 of December 9th, 1909`\n\n343\n\n`Mr. Fox to Viceroy Chang. (JAP 20 1909)`\n\nCanton, December 16th, 1909\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Y.E.'s dispatch dated the 10th instant, in which you informed me that a Chinese passenger on the British steamer \"Fatshan\" had been kicked to death by a foreigner.\n\nOn receipt of this dispatch, I at once deputed Vice-Consul Porter to proceed to the Wharf, and in company with Deputy Haish and the Samshui Magistrate, hold an inquest on the body. Dr. Davenport, who had already made an examination that morning, went again to the \"Fatshan\" at the request of the Chinese Authorities and made a second examination in the presence of the officials...\n\nIn the meantime, I had summoned the Portuguese watchman Noronha, who was accused of having caused this passenger's death, and I fixed the following day at 10...",

        "content_text": "## Memorandum by the Shanghae General Chamber of Commerce, The Issuing of Bank-notes by Native Banks\n\nIN the beginning of the current year, the attention of the Chamber was drawn to the fact that dollar bank-notes were being issued by certain Chinese banks in Shanghae and the Provinces. Representations on the subject were made to the Consular Body, and the opinion of the exchange banks was also ascertained, as the matter was considered of vital importance, inasmuch as the new departure tends to add to the complications of internal currency, and to affect trade and credit. The various issues are not authorized by the Imperial Government; and they are neither limited nor have they reserves held against them. The uncontrolled issue of these notes, without the security of properly regulated metallic reserves, is a serious danger to the commercial community and the growth of such a system of finance, which must ultimately impair and seriously affect the credit of China, is viewed with grave concern. The problem, if energetically and intelligently tackled, may still be capable of solution now, but should time be lost, the difficulties which are steadily increasing may at no distant date grow beyond remedy. Investigations as to the standing, reserves, capital and note circulation of the various banks, have brought to light the information which is appended on the following table:\n\n| Bank | Head Office | Capital | Paid-up | Note Circulation | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| KW LAM Bank |  |  |  |  | 100,000 taels of note issue and probably more is in circulation in Shanghae.

Shuang Tai Tzu\nAt Shuang Tai Tzu the canal to the Shuang Tai Tzu River, originally dug as a convenient short cut some eighteen years ago, has enlarged itself to such an extent that 55 per cent. of the Liao River flows through it to the sea, a proportion which will, if unattended, increase and soon leave the Liao proper dry. Mr. Hughes suggests four schemes:—\n\n1. To close the outlet completely. This would improve the Liao, but deprive the farmers along the outlet of water.\n2. To build a barrier, which would always leave at least 4 feet of water in the Liao and drain off the excess.\n3. To narrow the outlet.\n4. To build a lock. This is too troublesome and costly. It would be 10 li from the sea, and boats could only come up with the flood, and these 10 li would require constant dredging.\n\nMr. Hughes favours the second proposal, which would avoid all risks in case of freshets.\n\n### Inclosure 3 in No. I\n#### Newchwang Chamber of Commerce to the Viceroy of the Three Eastern Provinces\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nNewchwang, November 28, 1908.\n\nEncouraged by the sympathetic manner in which you were kind enough to listen to the representations which the Committee of this Chamber was enabled, by the hospitable kindness of our Taotai, Mr. C. L. Chow, to make to you with regard to the conservancy of the Liao River on the occasion of your visit to this port in September last, and by the interest which, in your desire for the welfare of this port and Manchuria generally, you manifested in the remarks we then ventured to submit with regard to the necessity for remedying the increasingly serious disabilities suffered by the waterway, the maintenance of which in efficient condition is so supremely vital to the prosperity of the richest port of Manchuria, I venture again, as Chairman of the Newchwang Chamber of Commerce, to approach your Excellency on this very important question, my excuse for so doing being the urgency occasioned by certain serious developments now taking place in the river at an alarmingly increasing rate, which developments, if unchecked, must inevitably result in heavy financial, and possibly material, loss to the port of Newchwang and to that part of Manchuria served by it. I refer especially to the condition of the artificial channel which connects the Liao with the Shuang Tai Tzu River.\n\nCut, I understand, by the salt authorities of the district some six years ago, during the Russian occupation of the country, in order to facilitate the retention of the salt monopoly in Chinese hands, it was at first but a narrow canal, and had consequently but an unimportant bearing on the course of the Liao, but of late it has so broadened and deepened as to become a very serious danger.\n\nI believe I am correct in saying that the channel now carries off considerably more than half the Liao water, with the result that the river itself, below the point of confluence with the channel, is deprived of the scouring force requisite to keep its own bed unsilted. That this process is developing on a rapidly increasing scale there is clear evidence, if only from the difficulty of late experienced by the shallow-draft bean boats in bringing their produce over the new mud banks and sand shallows created by the failure of the much weakened current to scour its bed to a proper depth. In the opinion of this Chamber, the remedy lies in throwing a strong dam or weir across the entrance of the Shuang T'ai Tzu outlet, and carrying it to a height which would only permit of an overflow when the water exceeds a certain fixed depth in the river. The cost of an undertaking of this sort should not amount to a very great sum, little more, in fact, than the cost of the useless dykes which the natives of the surrounding districts are reported to be under the necessity of throwing up every year to protect their lands from the ever swelling waters now passing through the outlet itself. It has been estimated that if nothing is done in the early spring there will be less than 18 inches of water on the shallows all the year round, and that the water-borne bean traffic will be a thing of the past.\n\nThe effect of this and the resulting monopoly of the railways (especially of the South Manchurian Railway to Dalny) on the bean trade of Newchwang is obvious, and would constitute one of the most immediate of the disasters which must result; but there are others.\n\nThe weakening of the lower section of the Liao, doubtless also accounts for the formation of the sand-banks which now exist in the reach immediately to the north of this port, behind the Imperial Railways of North China station, and the consequent gouging out of the adjacent channel behind Duck Island, which, as pointed out to your Excellency in September last, threatens to break the narrow neck of land which there separates the two reaches. Should this happen, it is needless to dwell on the magnitude of the calamity, and in our opinion it seems strongly advisable that this narrow neck of land between the two reaches should be strengthened, in accordance with the recommendations of the engineers who have examined it, simultaneously with the construction of the suggested weir or other protection work at the Shuang Tai Tzu outlet, in order to protect the narrow neck from any extra strain which might be thrown upon it as a result of the sudden increase of the water retained in the bed of the Liao, in consequence of the construction of such a weir.\n\nA further calamity which is bound to result from the decreased force and volume of water in the river, if nothing is done, will be its failure to scour itself sufficiently from the upper harbour limits to the bar at its estuary, thus preventing the access of vessels of even the lightest possible draft, let alone sea-going trading steamers.\n\nI have enlarged especially fully upon the state of the Liao River at and below the Shuang T'ai Tzu outlet, as it is at these parts that, in the opinion of this Chamber, prompt conservancy measures are most urgently needed to safeguard this important waterway, but I would also emphasize that there are above the outlet innumerable banks and shallows, the dredging or removal of which is very necessary to enable produce boats to come down freely from the important bean districts at and in the neighbourhood of Tung Chiang Tzu, Tieh Ling, Fakumen, &c., and that any undertaking for the improvement of the river must be incomplete, and fail to promote its full efficiency as a trade route, unless extended to the removal of all the obstacles at present hindering the produce carrying trade between the important producing centres and the distributing seaport of Newchwang.\n\nIn conclusion, we earnestly trust that, in view of the extreme urgency of the question, and of the disastrous results which I have endeavoured to show must inevitably accrue if efficient measures are not promptly taken, your Excellency will at once take the question into serious consideration, in order that preparations may be made during the winter for carrying out the work in the early spring directly the river is clear of ice, in the manner in which your Excellency's advisers may consider most effective, and that it may be completed before the summer rains cause the river to flood, so that the flood waters, instead of being diverted by the growing sand-banks and escaping through the Shuang T'ai Tzu outlet and still further aggravating the existing mischief, may instead serve their natural purpose of scouring away the sand-banks and shallows which threaten to render impossible the navigation of the River Liao, even for the lightest boats.\n\nAvailing of this opportunity to express to your Excellency the profound sympathy of this Chamber with the Chinese nation on the recent demise of your august Sovereign and Her late Imperial Majesty the Empress-Dowager,\n\n(Signed) WM. FORD, Chairman.",

I may point out that the proposal is favourable to the railway from our point of view, and would facilitate construction of the telegraph line.\n\n2. I would further mention that it would probably be necessary for the railway wires to be joined up at our junction, so that Canton could communicate with Kowloon with reference to traffic and other matters.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) **FRANK GROVE, Engineer-in-chief.**\n\n[193]\n\n## No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum communicated to Mr. Whitelaw Reid, January 14, 1909.**\n\nIN the Memorandum communicated by the American Ambassador to Sir C. Hardinge on the 1st instant, his Excellency stated that the Government at Washington were led to believe that the Japanese Government intended to construct a fixed bridge over the River Yalu at New Wijn (Autung). In view of the detriment which such an obstruction would cause to commerce on the Yalu, the American Ambassador at Tokio had been instructed to call the attention of the Japanese Government to the advisability of erecting a bridge of a type which would not impede navigation, and the American Government would be gratified to learn that His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio and His Majesty's Minister at Peking had been instructed in a similar sense.\n\nThe Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has the honour to inform the American Ambassador in reply that, as soon as it was reported that the Japanese authorities intended to build a bridge of a fixed type over the Yalu at this point, His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio made representations to the Japanese Government of a nature similar to those made by his American colleague. The Secretary of State has good reason to believe that the Japanese Government have now recognized the justice of these representations, and that some type of drawbridge will be substituted for the fixed bridge it was originally intended to erect.\n\nUnder these circumstances it would not appear necessary that any further representations should be made at Tôkiô.\n\nForeign Office, January 14, 1909.\n\n[2116 o~1]\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\n**Mr. May to Mr. Grove.**\n\nSir,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hong Kong, September 29, 1908.\n\nIN reply to your letter of the 1st instant, I am directed to state that this Government is not prepared to allow the six wires of the Chinese Telegraph Department to proceed to Kowloon on British railway posts and thence to the Hong Kong telegraph office by cable, since it would introduce the principle of a foreign Government owning and working a telegraph line in British territory, but that his Excellency the Governor will be glad to make arrangements for connecting the six wires at the frontier with wires belonging to this Government to be led into offices under the control of the Hong Kong Government.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) **F. H. MAY, Colonial Secretary.**",

FOX**,\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Kwo Shih Pao\" of March 9, 1909.\n\nReport of a Meeting of the Self-Government Society respecting the \"Tatsu Maru\" Case.\n\nOn the 8th March a mass meeting of the Self-Government Society was held to discuss the \"Tatsu Maru\" case, and was very largely attended. The Kung Tu and Ku Tu districts in Heungshan sent Chao Hsiang Ping, Yang Jang Ju, and Liao Pi Ch'en as representatives to attend the meeting. They said that the people of their districts had held a meeting, and, hearing of the meeting in Canton, had sent them as representatives. They produced a map of Macao and a copy of the Viceroy's Memorial. At the next meeting the people of their district, they said, would elect further representatives to come to Canton and discuss the procedure to be adopted. It was essential that all their countrymen should work cordially together and achieve their object.\n\nSpeeches were subsequently made by about a dozen persons, including Hu Hsin Teng, Chan Sung Yun, and Chien Ching Hsü, all condemning the injury to the nation caused by Yuan Shih Kai, and emphasizing the importance of retaining jurisdiction over their land and its waters. Not a foot of which should be surrendered. The applause shook the entire building.\n\nThe bell announcing the opening of the meeting rang at 2:30. The chairman was Li Kai Hi, and the speaker Lo Shao Ao. The following is an account of what passed:---\n\n1. A map of Macao was produced by the representatives of the districts of Kung Ta and Ku Tu, in Heungshan.\n\n2. It was mentioned that that day was the anniversary of the \"Tatsu Maru incident, when China fired a salute of twenty-one guns in acknowledgment of her fault, and purchased the arms as compensation. The country was robbed of its sovereign rights and suffered a national disgrace. Yuan Shih Kai, whose foreign policy had failed, had been the culprit. An Edict had now been issued appointing Kao Erh Chien as Commissioner for the delimitation of the boundaries of Macao. In the original lease by Portugal of Macao the land boundary was formed by a wall. The sea, which was the boundary on the other side, belonged to China. This was now being encroached upon. The spot where last year the arms smuggled by the \"Tatsu Maru\" were seized was situated at Ta Sha Li, at the western entrance of the Pearl River. These waters, the inland waters of China, were wrongfully claimed by the Japanese as being the \"high seas.\" The claim of Portugal that they were Portuguese waters was still more groundless. This was well known to be the case, and yet Yuan Shih Kai, it is sad to say, deliberately betrayed his country and brought disgrace on China. It was now more than ever incumbent on all patriots to consider all ways and means to protect China's sovereign rights, and a discussion was invited.

The object of a Constitution was that the officials and people should share the responsibility of all important measures. The delimitation Commissioner, Kao Erh Chien, was thoroughly conversant with foreign affairs, and up to the present had never been guilty of a mistake. He had already arrived in Canton, and, as the matter was of great importance, every one should interest themselves and take a share in the investigation. In this way dilatory official methods would be hastened. (Unanimously agreed to.)\n\n4.

Of all the influential personages in Peking at that time they alone ventured to oppose the pretensions of the Boxers and to represent in strongly worded memorials the inevitable consequences to the Empire of such a movement.\n\nWhile the court was in exile at Hsi-An-fu in Shensi the late Empress-Dowager recognised that their execution had proved unjustifiable, and issued decrees restoring their memories to honour.\n\nIt is significant at this late period that the Prince Regent should revert to the subject of their unmerited punishment, and assure for them a place amongst the \"immortals\" of Chinese history by the bestowal of posthumous titles. Though the decree was doubtless evoked by a memorial presented by the friends of the deceased Ministers, it is issued in the \"Gazette\" as a spontaneous act of grace, and is generally understood to indicate that the Prince Regent thereby disassociates himself and his régime from the policy which brought about the disasters of 1900.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**J.

        "content_text": "# 102\nSharasumé, Altaishan, or Cheng-hwa-ssu is a Chinese settlement in the making and is destined to become another Kobdo or Uliassutai. At present there are only ten Chinese shops, of which six or seven are large ones; these are branches of Peking or Tien-tsin shops; they sell articles of clothing, snuff-bottles, food, and the necessaries of life, renewing stock three times a year via Guchen by camel caravan.\n\nThe entire population cannot be more than 1,500, of whom 1,000 are soldiers. It will be understood why the few traders established here find existence difficult, for there is no one to buy and no money. The settlement is governed by an Amban, a Manchu, Hsi Heng by name; he is 48 years old. His former posts were several years' service in the Palace, and then the taotaiship of Jehol in Chih-li. He was at Jehol during the Boxer outbreak in 1900 and seems to have done much towards keeping the district quiet. He is an energetic and enlightened official with an admirable and unusual knowledge of foreign politics and of history. He is a henchman of Yuan Shih-kai and a friend of Natungtan.\n\nThere is no inn at the settlement, so a room had been prepared for me in the house of the leading Turkish merchant. Here I found a pleasant lodging carpeted with beautiful Khotan rugs and filled with light bamboo European furniture obtained from Russia (Zaisan Post). The walls were nicely papered, and the windows had glass in them and were shaded by chintz or muslin hangings.\n\nIn the late afternoon of the 9th September, I called on the Governor to thank him for the hospitality of the settlement. His Excellency had caused a small guard of honour to be drawn up to receive me. A young man who is in charge of the office which deals with external affairs was present. He is a Honanese and possesses a remarkably good knowledge of English acquired in Tien-tsin. He is delicate and hardly likely to rise high in office in the State. He receives 120 taels a-month for his knowledge of English, which he has little occasion to speak here. The Governor's room was stacked with rifles. He was amiable enough to invite me to dine at a later date.\n\n## September 10\nTo-day was a Chinese holiday—the autumnal festival. At our interview yesterday, the Governor said he would assist me to hire transport for the remainder of the journey. I suggested travelling to Manas instead of to Chuguchak. He said there was a road to Manas, but that for two days there was no water or grass. He seemed to think these difficulties insuperable. He said the Moslem trouble in Hsinchiang was over, and that it had never been serious.\n\nThe Chinese seem to go on the cart without the horse principle, as regards these northern colonies. They go to much trouble to form them but neglect to unite them with China by rapid means of communication. Hence the only possible trade is in wool, hides, &c., and this languishes until Russian merchants establish themselves. This trade, of course, finds the nearest outlet, which is Russia. There is then the appearance of a revival of trade, but this is not really so as regards China, and Russians, not Chinese, reap the benefit. And as Russian trade and interests grow, so the footing obtained by her is deeper. Sharasumé is a settlement that cannot grow where it is; it is situated in a cul-de-sac at present, on the road to nowhere. Chinese profit little by the Russian merchants, for the latter put no money in the Mongul's pockets, trade being one entirely of barter, so that it is Russian trade which benefits all round. The merchant in whose house I stayed sends the skins which he collects to Zaisan in Russian territory, six days away by camel transport. He brings back Russian goods in return. It was, I think, due to him that the Russians in Chuguchak heard of my approach, and they probably make use of him for finding out what goes on in Altaishan.\n\nLiving in the settlement is naturally expensive at present. Flour and rice cost 7 cents a catty, eggs 10 cents a-piece, Chinese vinegar 15 cents a catty, as against 2 cents in Peking. The Chinese have introduced pigs and fowls. Vegetables grow plentifully and are comparatively cheap. The yamên have issued paper notes (for local use only). These bear the Government seal; they are for the following values: 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 50 cents, and 1 tael. Tea bricks and the tags in use at Kobdo are also used as currency.\n\nThe only foreigner who has officially visited the settlement has been the Russian Consul at Uliassutai.\n\nThe Amban called at 11:30 A.M. and stayed three hours with me. His sympathies are very pro-British. He is a strong advocate of the forward movement in Mongolia. We discussed the questions of a future constitution and future navy for China, the rights and wrongs of the South African war, and Russo-Afghan frontier matters. His Excellency possessed a remarkable knowledge of modern topics and historical personages such as Bismarck, Napoleon, and Wellington. It may be safely predicted that he will rise to a still higher position in the government of his country. Unfortunately, he speaks no English, nor any European language. He told me that the Russian Consular officer at Uliassutai (he refused to call him Consul) had only been here once, and that there were no Russian subjects here. He had come because a Russian merchant (a Russian Hassack, I believe) had disappeared while travelling in the Altaishan. The Amban said that two Russian subjects had been riding in the district, to the south-east in the desert, and that the survivor had complained that his friend had been killed by Hassacks. The Russian Consul seems to have attempted to bully the Amban, but got little change out of his stalwart opponent, who said that the man's passport had only entitled him to travel on the main roads, and that he could not be responsible for the disappearance of the man travelling by the small roads. The Amban, moreover, requested the Consul to prove that his subject had been murdered, to produce bones, or some trace of clothing, &c. So the Consul was very angry and went away dissatisfied.\n\nThe Amban spoke sarcastically of the Russian attitude and said that, whenever Chinese subjects disappeared while in Russian territory, he got no redress from the Russian authorities, but that he did not make so great a fuss as this travelling Russian Consular officer, who, he said, had, moreover, no right to come and discuss the matter with him.\n\nThe Amban told me that the Wai-wu Pu had recently issued orders that no foreigners were to be allowed to survey in Mongolia, or indeed any part of China; he said that these orders were the result of Japanese having been caught mapping in Heilungchiang (Manchuria). I could not help remarking, showing him some excellent Russian and German maps with which I had been travelling, that it seemed a little late to issue such orders as regarded Mongolia, and that it was a pity, as regarded that dependency, that foreigners should not be allowed, if they wished, to perfect what they had begun, especially as the Chinese had as yet so few men capable of doing it. In any case, it is an order to which travellers like Kozloff will pay little heed. Talking of Kozloff and his escort, the Amban said that the Central Government would never have allowed the latter had the matter been reported to them. His Excellency added that nowadays the Central Government expected every single question to be reported to them from Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan. He said it was a difficult thing to do from Sharasumé, as there was no telegraph, and every urgent matter had to be sent by horseman to Chuguchak to be telegraphed from there. He added that he had asked for permission to connect his colony with Manas by telegraph; here it would be linked up with the main trunk line. He had urged the matter as forcibly as possible and expected a favourable reply. As regarded the colony, his Excellency said he proposed to build it 30 miles to the south, on the plain, and close to the Kilingho. This place, however (Sharasumé), would remain as it was and would form a summer residence. His Excellency is a vigorous supporter of the anti-opium policy.\n\nIn the evening, the owner of my lodging left for Chuguchak on business; he left on horseback and was to take from eight to ten days; he would put up at nights with any tents he came across. He was taking a small tent with him, in case he had to halt in an uninhabited district. About twenty of the population assembled in the courtyard for prayer before his departure; it was a most impressive sight in the brilliant sunset. Directly prayers were over, he and his three servants (two of whom carried rifles) mounted and rode away.\n\nLater in the evening, the Chinese festival (mid-autumn) was at its height. The moon was worshipped, squibs and crackers were let off for hours, and everyone drank as much as they could get.\n\nIt has been found that black beans, kaoliang, and Indian corn can be grown in these valleys, so an attempt is to be made to do this on a large scale. The only trees of the settlement (except for low jungle along the river) are round the yamên inclosure.\n\nThe settlement is at present entirely unprotected by walls and could, if the garrison failed it, be wiped out by any force.\n\n## September 11\nThe garrisons consist of 600 Mongols and 400 Chinese; all are designated cavalry, but I saw few horses and little stabling accommodation. They are armed with German rifles of 1888 pattern, but say that 500 of a later pattern have just arrived. The Chinese are lodged in small mud huts which they have themselves constructed. There are four companies, each commanded by a Captain; one is to the north-west, immediately behind the yamên, another to the north-east, and a third is 300 yards to the east of No. 2, and the fourth in a small inclosure 300 yards south of...",

Circular instructions to that effect were sent throughout the province.\n\nNow, the seizures of contraband opium at Wei-hsi, Li-chiang, Tengyueh, and elsewhere, have been very large. The li-kin officials and the local authorities everywhere have been notified by telegraph to make stringent and secret search, and not to permit illicit sales. They were instructed that merchants who disobeyed and treated the law lightly by disregarding the date fixed within which opium from their locality might be exported, should have their opium seized and confiscated, and they themselves punished, as they were assuredly to blame.\n\nBut in out-of-the-way places the people may not have known of the measures for prohibition and have taken their opium to the large marts for sale, and they are too poor to devise means of transport for removing it. Or it may be that they did not arrive in time to be able to dispose of it. The bureau takes into consideration the facts that they stand to lose their entire capital and have their means of livelihood cut off root and stock.\n\nWould it not be better to open out a way for them?\n\nIn regard to this question of opium, the Central Bureau affirms that from now onwards no one, no matter whether gentry, merchant, scholar, or peasant, no matter whether he lives on the frontiers, in remote places, or in barbarian territory, shall ever be allowed to grow a single plant again or to keep the smallest quantity of a drug which is a curse to all.\n\nNow, very many of you merchants and people have been gradually accumulating small quantities of opium for future sale and profit, and are now liable to have it all destroyed. Surely this is a sad state of affairs, and one to be pitied!\n\nNow, out of compassion for you, the Central Bureau is further publishing this proclamation.\n\nBe it known to all you merchants and people that, in the case of all stocks of opium not yet exported for sale from your locality, it is permitted, for one fortnight only from the date of this proclamation, that you present yourselves, with the ticket number of your house, at the Central Bureau, and report the exact amount in hand. Or, if it is nearer for you, you may report to your local authorities, who will acquaint the bureau by telegraph. The Central Bureau will then pray the governor-general to memorialise the throne that all opium which has not yet passed the li-kin barriers may be sent through at an additional payment of 100 per cent. At the same time, if there be those who disobey the prohibitions against opium and store it secretly, then the village headmen, and indeed any person, may make private inquiries and inform against them. They shall be severely punished and their opium destroyed by fire. There will be no pity shown.\n\nThis proclamation is issued with the approval of the governor-general. Let one and all throughout the province obey and not disregard the injunctions. **Urgent proclamation!**\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n**Proclamation issued by the Governor-General Shen, dated Yünnan-fu, May 1909.**\n\n**(Translation.)**\n\nLet it be clearly known to all:\n\nWHEREAS the production of opium in Yünnan was very great, and its ill effects much greater than in other provinces, the former governor-general, Hsi, received a mandate from the throne for its suppression, and he memorialised that the limit of time for the suppression should be fixed for the end of last Chinese year (20th January, 1909). Accordingly, last winter, his Excellency sent out a number of deputies to proceed in different directions and carry out thorough investigations throughout the province in every place, no matter how precipitous the mountains, how remote the valleys, and how out of the way these might be. There was no spot that was not visited and scrutinized, no land where the growing poppy was not uprooted.\n\nYou who have cultivated the poppy know its evil effects, and that, clandestinely sown, it has been uprooted.\n\nNow, the provinces have requested that the time-limit for the suppression of opium be curtailed. The throne has commanded that the poppy shall not be sown again in any part of Yünnan.\n\nHowever, it is to be feared that you people are slow to perceive. You imagine that the destruction of the opium plants and the restrictions against opium last year were for that year alone, and were directed by a Governor-General, who has now gone. You imagine that perhaps you may be able to cultivate it again this year. Therefore, you devise no means whereby to gain your livelihood in another direction. You deceive yourselves.\n\nBe it known that from the day on which this proclamation is issued for your information the prohibition against opium will be more stringent than last year. The roads to those places where opium was grown and uprooted are better known to-day. Let there be no mistake, the lands on which opium is found illicitly growing will be forfeited to the Crown, and the offenders, who will be regarded as wilful transgressors, will be severely punished according to the laws of the land.\n\nReflect whether my words are not truly spoken!\n\nI, the Governor-General, have been in Yünnan for two years and know you Yunnanese thoroughly. Poverty-stricken and indeed to be pitied! Formerly you depended upon growing a little opium to make your income. To-day opium is banned and will never be allowed to be cultivated again. You must, therefore, hasten to think out some local means of replacing the profit you once got from opium. You must not indulge in day-dreams that you will plant opium again, and thus become law-breakers. It may be that the beans and wheat crops of your fields give but scanty returns, but there are many other things which might also be cultivated. I, the Governor-General, have very attentively considered the points that it may be difficult for you to procure good seed and employ the best methods of cultivation, and I will use official funds to purchase good seed for you. Let one and all who read this proclamation discuss among yourselves, and let those of you, ripe in age and experience, carefully examine the different soils, and let crops which suit these best be sown. If you have good seed it is well; if not, and you desire to buy from other provinces or from abroad, you are authorized to petition your local authorities, who will telegraph to the Taotai for the Encouragement of Trade at Yünnan-fu. He will send out and buy what you want from the proper quarters and forward it to your local authorities to give to you.\n\nIf there be no charge at all for instruction as to the best methods of cultivation. Yamên clerks and police will be strictly forbidden to extort money from you on these accounts. Should you raise a fund among yourselves for the establishment of societies for the promotion of agriculture, reclamation of waste land, cattle-raising, horse-breeding, and others of a similar nature, I, the Governor-General, and the Taotai for the Encouragement of Trade will foster these societies with all our endeavours. And if your enterprises flourish, we will encourage you with rewards.\n\nPage 632",

        "content_text": "# KANALÁÖNNEN LEA \n\n2 \n\nVarious reasons are assigned for this unexpected revival of activity on the part of the Canton authorities, the most likely being that it is due to the impending arrival of the new Viceroy, who is known to be an advocate of strong measures for the suppression of opium smoking.\n\nThe opium dealers of Canton, who have practically gone out on strike and have refused to import or sell another ball of opium until their friends are released, regard the present action of the authorities as the beginning of a movement to make the sale and preparation of opium a Government monopoly.\n\nThey say that if the rule regarding the production of a special permit for every purchase of opium is strictly enforced, they will be obliged to close their shops, as it will be quite impossible for them to carry on business under such irksome restrictions.\n\nI explained in a previous report the manner in which sales to country customers were effected.\n\nI am addressing a further despatch to the Acting Viceroy on the subject of the reported formation of an opium monopoly in the Nam Heung prefecture, referred to in Messrs. Sassoon's letter, copy and translation of which will be forwarded to you in due course.\n\nI trust the action I have taken in this matter may meet with your approval.\n\nSir,\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**HARRY H. FOX.**\n\nMessrs. Sassoon and Co. to Acting Consul-General Fox.\n\nHong Kong, August 25, 1909. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 24th instant, contents of which have our careful attention.\n\nWe note that one of the Viceroy's secretaries said he would do his best to get the release of the men connected with the Chuen Fook Cheong opium hong, and we trust this will be done without delay. In the meantime our trade is disorganised. Business for the Canton market is entirely at a standstill, and deliveries have ceased. A trifling sale has been made for local requirements at a decline of 15 dollars per chest, and the Calcutta market has declined 30 rupees, from 1,350 to 1,320 rupees per chest. The fact that the Chinese have stopped shipping to Canton is very serious. It involves the importers in losses in interest and charges, and an increased risk in view of the decline in prices. We would request you to kindly bring this dislocation of our trade to the attention of the authorities, and to insist on them being released without delay.\n\nAnother interference with the opium trade has also been brought to our notice to-day. It appears that a monopoly is being attempted in the Nam Hung prefecture. The sole power to sell prepared opium is being conferred on a company, to the exclusion of all other retail dealers, who are ordered to close their shops. Furthermore, every holder of raw drug is required to pay a tax, the amount of which is not yet known, based on the quantity of prepared opium that can be obtained from a ball of the raw drug.\n\nWe telegraphed to you this morning as follows:-- \n\n\"Prices declining. Deliveries Canton ceased. Reported Nam Hung prefecture attempting monopolies and taxing raw opium.-SASSOONS.\"\n\nThe heavy stocks in the hands of the importers here, in Shanghae, and Calcutta render our position a very serious one, and the stoppage of deliveries and the decline in prices cause us serious concern. We have no doubt that you will bring all these points forcibly to the notice of the authorities, and point out to them that they cannot at their will violate the treaties and place British merchants engaged in the opium trade in a position of insecurity.\n\nWe beg to again tender you our best thanks for all the steps that you are taking on our behalf.\n\nWe have, &c. **David Sassoon and Co. (Limited),** \n**E. SHELLIM, Manager.**\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul-General Fox to Acting Viceroy Hu,\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nCanton, August 25, 1909. On the 6th July I had the honour to address a despatch to your Excellency, in which I asked your Excellency to renew the assurance given by your predecessor that the new regulations for the control of the purchase and sale of raw opium would not interfere with the wholesale trade carried on between the British importers in Hong Kong and the Canton dealers.\n\nOn the 16th instant I had the honour to receive your reply informing me that you had instructed the Opium Prohibition Bureau to investigate the matter and take action accordingly.\n\nI now learn that the Bureau have suddenly and without warning seized and thrown into prison an opium dealer, trading under the style of Ch'uan Fu Chang at Hing Loong Street, Canton, who although himself provided with a licence in accordance with the regulations, sold opium to a person who had omitted to take out a permit. In consequence of this opium dealers in Canton have become alarmed, imports of Indian opium from Hong Kong have ceased entirely and the trade is disorganized.\n\nI learn further that the Opium Bureau have the intention of levying additional taxes on both raw and prepared opium, amounting to some 26 taels per ball.\n\nI have the honour to observe that, with regard to this matter of opium prohibition, I have received explicit instructions from His Majesty's Minister in Peking that foreign opium should be excluded from the operation of any regulations dealing with the wholesale trade. I have been directed to inform your Excellency that no protest will be made as long as the licensing regulations are carried out in a proper spirit and in such a manner as not to interfere with the wholesale trade between the British importer and the native purchaser.\n\nThe action of the Opium Prohibition Bureau in suddenly arresting this opium dealer, and the consequent stoppage of business in raw opium, constitutes a serious interference with the normal course of trade, and it is my duty, therefore, to protest formally against the Bureau's action.\n\nAs regards the proposed additional taxes on raw and prepared opium, I would remind your Excellency that to tax imported opium while still in its package is contrary to treaty, and that in the case of prepared opium it has on more than one occasion been settled by our respective predecessors that such taxes can only be imposed with the sanction of the Wai-wu Pu and the consent of His Majesty's Minister in Peking.\n\nThe bureau would therefore appear to be acting precipitately in this matter and without first consulting the higher authorities.\n\nI have therefore the honour to request that your Excellency will give this matter your serious consideration and, if the facts are as stated, issue stringent instructions to the bureau concerned not to interfere with the wholesale trade in Indian opium between Hong Kong and Canton.\n\nThis trade, by agreement between our respective Governments, is being reduced in volume every year, and prohibitive measures on the part of the Canton Opium Bureau are therefore uncalled for and only tend to disturb the friendly relations which so happily exist between Great Britain and China at the present time.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**HARRY H.

I have at various times during the past year invited the attention of the Chinese Government to the measures taken by provincial authorities for controlling the sale and consumption of opium, and your Highness was so good as to assure me in your note of the 22nd April that the stringent prohibition of opium, which was being enforced in Chekiang and other provinces, did not affect the foreign drug.\n\nPage 770",

        "content_text": "# Consul Wilkinson to Sir J. Jordan\n\n## Newchwang, September 17, 1909\n\nIn accordance with the instructions contained in your despatch of the 9th instant, I have the honour to report on the progress that is being made with the scheme for the improvement of the navigation of the Liao River.\n\nIn my intelligence report for June quarter, I informed you that the taotai had successfully negotiated with the Hu Pu Bank a loan of 100,000 dollars to meet the cost of the proposed weir at Shuang Tai Tzu. The security for this loan, which bears interest at 7 per cent and is repayable in six years, is the tax on native boats referred to in my despatch of the 2nd June, from which the taotai hopes to raise at least 15,000 dollars per annum. The loan is also guaranteed by the Viceroy at Mukden, a condition upon which the bank insisted, although his Excellency in exchange has withdrawn his promised contribution towards the expense of the work of 20,000 taels. The amount raised, however, is sufficient to meet the estimated cost, and operations have already been commenced under the superintendence of Mr. Hughes, the consulting engineer of the Mukden Government. It is probable that the weir itself will not be completed until the end of next summer, but Mr. Hughes hopes by means of a temporary dam across the Shuang Tai Tzu outlet to effect a considerable improvement in the channel below it before the close of the present season. The months of October and November are, I should explain, two of the busiest in the year for the river trade, the boats being then engaged in bringing down to Newchwang the new bean harvest. For this reason, it is extremely desirable that something, if possible, should be done before the end of the season to improve the channel in question, which, as Mr. Hughes rightly anticipated, has proved this year the most difficult to navigate along the entire course of the Liao.\n\nThe construction, however, of the weir at Shuang Tai Tzu, though a measure of urgent necessity, is but the first, and least costly, of the three distinct works advocated by Mr. Hughes for the proper conservancy of the river. The second of these works is the amelioration of the whole river between Tung Chiang Tzu, the present limit of navigation for junks, and Newchwang. The third is the protection of this port from the danger of the river breaking through the narrow neck of land between Duck Island and the harbour, the result of which would be to ruin the present anchorage, render the existing wharves useless, and probably flood the town. There is a fourth work, too, of which Mr. Hughes makes no mention, but which, if it could be successfully accomplished, would be as beneficial to the port as the other three. I refer to the deepening of the bar at the mouth of the river so as to enable vessels drawing, say, 26 feet of water to come up to Newchwang. At present, the depth of water on the bar varies, according to the season, from 18 to 22 feet, which is, unfortunately, not enough for the average ocean-going steamer as distinguished from the coaster, and so places the port at a great disadvantage in the European trade as compared with its chief rival, Dalny.\n\nThe cost of improving the navigation of the whole river between Tung Chiang Tzu and Newchwang, if properly carried out, which would mean not only deepening the present shallow, but also narrowing the stream where its width is too great, confining it to one course, where it now divides into two or more, and straightening it where its bends are too abrupt, Mr. Hughes estimates at well over 1,000,000 dollars. As he believes this sum to be prohibitive, he suggests as an alternative scheme the employment of dredgers of large capacity, which can be moved from place to place to remove such obstacles to navigation as have formed or may form in the future. To purchase these dredgers, a sum, according to his estimate, of 150,000 dollars will be required, and the annual working expenses will be about 30,000 dollars. For the work at Duck Island, he accepts M. de Rijke's estimate of 160,000 dollars. What the cost of deepening the bar will amount to, it is impossible to say. It will certainly not be inconsiderable.\n\nTo meet the cost of these various works, all of which are of vital importance to the prosperity of Newchwang, but for which, at the lowest estimate, 500,000 dollars will be needed, the 100,000 dollars raised by the taotai for the construction of the Shuang Tai Tzu weir are the only funds as yet available. The question which has therefore arisen is, how is the balance required to be provided? The solution which naturally suggests itself is that the money should be furnished by the Provincial or even the Central Government, for the river is a national asset which it would be almost criminal to neglect, but, as the taotai points out in the enclosed despatch on the subject, which he has addressed to the consuls at this port, the finances of Manchuria are at the present time in so impoverished a state that it is hopeless to expect any allocation of public funds for the purpose, and he holds out no hope of assistance from the Central Government. The only alternative that suggests itself to him is the adoption at Newchwang of a scheme on the same lines as the Haiho Conservancy scheme at Tien-tsin, by which the money can be raised by a tax of so much per mille on the value of the cargo of all vessels entering the port, and of so much per ton on their registered tonnage.\n\nA meeting of the consular body to discuss the taotai's proposals was held here on the 14th August, at which the opinion generally expressed was that, rather than that the work should not be carried out at all, it was better to agree to some tax on the trade of the port, but that the tax should be as light a one as possible, as otherwise its effect would be to drive trade to Dalny, which it was the very object of the conservancy works in contemplation to prevent. The only dissentient from this view was the Japanese consul, who stated that his nationals would not hear of any tax on the trade to assist a scheme of this nature. It was finally decided, at my suggestion, that a second meeting should be held, at which the representatives of the foreign and Japanese chambers of commerce should be invited to attend and express their views in person.\n\nThe meeting was held, but no representative from the Japanese chamber put in an appearance, the Japanese consul explaining that he was empowered on their behalf to state that they objected in toto to the taotai's proposals, but were willing to consider a scheme for an increase in the pilotage fees, the proceeds to be devoted to the deepening of the bar. The representatives of the foreign chamber, being then asked for their views, expressed very much the same opinion as that of the majority of the consuls at our first meeting, namely, that it was better to pay rather than have nothing done at all, but that the taxes imposed should be moderate, and that, before agreeing to them, every effort should be made to impress upon the Chinese Government the wisdom of bearing the entire cost themselves rather than risk a diversion of the trade to other ports. Since then, the committees of the two chambers have met privately to discuss the question without, however, arriving at any understanding.\n\nTwo reasons were given by the Japanese for refusing to agree to any taxation of the trade of the port—one, the very excellent one that it would divert trade to Dalny; the other, that the conservancy of the upper river was unnecessary, seeing that the railways now provided an excellent alternative means of communication. They were willing, however, that the profits of the pilotage scheme referred to by the consul should be devoted in the second place to the improvement of the river. This scheme, which I cannot believe to have been seriously meant, was that pilotage should be made compulsory, the number of pilots increased and fixed salaries paid them, and the fees for pilotage raised to whatever extent was necessary to provide the funds required. This would mean, as Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's agent here pointed out to me, that their regular steamers would each have to pay something like 300 taels per trip, a charge which would more than swallow up their profits; in fact, no better method of driving trade and shipping away from the port altogether could possibly be devised.\n\nThe consular body is now waiting for a report from the foreign chamber of commerce of the result of their meeting with the Japanese, and also for an expression in writing of their views as to the extent to which the trade of the port might bear taxation. As soon as this is received, a further meeting will be held, at which, in all probability, it will be decided that each consul shall address his Minister separately, recommending the taotai's proposals, as modified by the chamber, to his favourable consideration. The chamber of commerce will, I believe, recommend a maximum tax of 1 per mille on the value of all exports and imports, and a tax of 24 candareens per ton on the registered tonnage of all vessels entering the port; and, to meet the views of the Japanese, which are also in this respect their own, they will ask that the deepening of the bar be included amongst the works to be taken in hand. The amount that will be raised annually from these taxes, if they should ever be agreed to, will not be less than 50,000 taels, for the value of the trade last year was 53,300,000 taels, and the tonnage entered 531,000 tons, in addition to which some 7,500 sea-going junks also visited the port; but, in any case, it will not be sufficient to provide the full amount required to carry out the whole work effectively. The ideal solution would be for the Chinese Government to bear the entire cost, but this, as things stand, seems unlikely.\n\nPage 3\nPage 14",

He persisted, however, that when he reached the gap, he became frightened and handed his knife to Mak Tin Fuk and took no part in the killing. \n\nThe Magistrate at this point remanded the case and said that he would require no further evidence. Leung Tau cannot be convicted for murder in the first degree until he admits having taken part in the actual slaying. The Magistrate is satisfied of his guilt and proposes to administer further interrogatories; he will report to me when the necessary admission has been obtained. The Magistrate, Cheung Wan Ching, has only been in the district for a few days. He treated me with great courtesy and entertained me to two light meals. In a Chinese trial, the part of Hamlet is played by the Interpreter, but I was struck by the shrewdness of the Magistrate's questions and his knowledge of the case. If any report of this case is sent to Canton, I would ask that the ability and courtesy of Cheung Wan Ching be brought to the notice of the Viceroy. \n\nThe Magistrate's Interpreter receives no salary, and I had to expend $12 in tips to him and the Yamen runners. This amount may be regarded in the light of fees of court, and I therefore ask whether it would be proper for me to recover this amount from Incidental expenses. \n\n(ed) S.B.C. Ross. \n29.3.10.",

I therefore venture to make a few remarks thereon. \n\nThe Leung Tau case has been the subject of considerable correspondence. The San On Magistrate has been only a few days in the District, but I was surprised by his knowledge of the geography of the case; he had evidently made a careful study of the record prepared by Yun Wai, his predecessor. He knows that a report of the case will be sent to the Governor of Hongkong and he is under orders to send a report to the Viceroy. I have no doubt that he thinks that he will not be considered to have conducted the case with ability unless a conviction is obtained. \n\nAfter the case had been remanded on Thursday last, Cheung Fan Ching gave me some light refreshments and we discussed those high matters which it is fitting for brother officials to discuss. We considered the question of armed robbery in all its aspects and it was unanimously agreed that armed robbers were very wicked men and had wolves' hearts. In the midst of these platitudes, the Magistrate kept on assuring me that I need have no fear in the present case that there would be any miscarriage of justice, for he said he would at the next masking hearing proceed to very strict methods of examination. \n\nIt would be affectation to attempt to believe that this means anything else than that Leung Tau will be subjected to severe torture at the next hearing of the case. \n\nWhen I had said goodbye to the Magistrate, I was taken round the prison. I asked what instruments of torture were kept; the reply was \"Mat ye to yau\" - \"All kinds\" - and I was given a list of the various bamboos and rattan whips and other apparatus. I was taken...",

He told me that the case had been adjourned because the Magistrate did not like to inflict torture in my presence that torture would most certainly be inflicted and that method employed would probably be the process known as **\"Tiu pau fuk\"** or the \"hanging bundle\". This is a complicated arrangement in which a bamboo, cords, and weights play a part. The prisoner always confesses under this process.\n\nThe infliction of torture has of course been abolished by an **Imperial Edict**. I do not think that Imperial Edicts of this description are treated very seriously in China. A Chinese Magistrate would probably admit that in theory the employment of torture was wrong but would hasten to add that in practice it would be impossible to carry on the business of his Court without it. I noticed at Nam Tau that the leathern tawses used for beating the cheeks of female witnesses were hanging on the rails of the Court and that the questions put by the Interpreter to the prisoner were punctuated by references to the bamboo.\n\nCheung Wan Ching would of course deny that any torture had been applied in this case and would say that I had misunderstood what I heard. In this he would be supported by all the minor officials. I have however no shadow of doubt that Leung Tau has been or shortly will be subjected to very severe torture and that in the District Courts of China torture flourishes like a green bay tree. It would be merely ostrich-like policy to shut one's eyes to facts and assume that the Imperial Edict has had any real effect in reducing torture in San On.\n\nThis being so it appears to follow that whenever the instructions which have recently been received from home are acted on and a Hongkong Official appears with witnesses in a Chinese Court the mere fact that a British Official appears...",

He then took me to No.24 Lai Chi Yuen, which Sün Mei has rented from Chan Iu T'ing. I there saw Sun Mei, who is about 58, and several others whom I do not know. I gave two dollars to Chung King Nam, and he told me to go to the door in the open, where I was sworn in these words: Fan Ching, shat Mun Chau yan, po to shau ...). I repeated this with my left hand raised to the level of my head.\n\nThis was at about 9.45 p.m. Chung King Nam said he would send the two dollars to Japan, and that I would have to be sworn again when the certificate arrived, and I would then get it and a book and a brass plate, and I would be required to sign my name. He told me that there were more than 10,000 adherents, and told me to keep it secret.\n\nHe said that there were many adherents in Government Offices, and that the Police Interpreter at Kowloon City station is one of them. The interpreter & Chung King Nam went together and bought the coffin for the funeral of Sün Mei's mother, and the Interpreter wore crape on his left arm, and went as far as the first bridge only. Inspector McHardy saw him. It is believed that this Interpreter was the author of the letter of complaint against P.S. Hau Hang being at the funeral to photograph the people.\n\n(sd) J.W.

After the appearance before the Registrar the excitement of Mr. Lei Tak Yung when speaking to Mr. Goldring was so intense, that he Mr. Goldring could not understand him, and turned him out of his office. It seems impossible for a man to get so excited on behalf of a practical stranger, if he was merely acting as a disinterested interpreter.\n\nThe particulars got up for the \"Holstein\" case were fraudulent, it is evident from the evidence in the Admiralty action that the plaintiff did not get up these particulars, but that some \"street lawyer” did. Mr. Lei called no proper evidence to show who got up the case, while he himself knows sufficient concerning the law courts to do so. If the Shaukiwan shopkeepers got a \"street lawyer\" other than Mr. Lei to get up the case, what was the necessity of asking Mr. Lei to introduce them to a good lawyer?\n\nI am of opinion therefore that Mr. Lei Tak Yung was pecuniarily interested in the case, but there was no evidence to point as to how far his interest extended.\n\n(sd.)

A. HEWETT, Chairman.\n\nP.S. Since writing the above, I have received a letter from the Hong Kong Government which gives your cable reply to the Chamber's telegram.\n\nI would ask you to accept the best thanks of the Chamber for your prompt action towards the protection of British trade.\n\nE. A. H.\n\n3\n\nGovernment have given the Chinese Government most practical support by definitely reducing shipments of opium from India to China, and in the course of a few years this trade will entirely cease; therefore, these vexatious regulations of the Chinese Government are absolutely unnecessary as far as the trade in foreign opium is concerned, and we must conclude that they are being imposed by them in order to derive financial advantage from the situation.\n\nThe fact that for a considerable time the Kwantung authorities have, with impunity, been infringing the treaties and ignoring the promise given to the British Minister by the Wai-wu Pu has led to these obstructive regulations being enforced in other districts, and complaints have been received from Hoihow, Nam Hung, and Watin to the effect that monopolies are being established, and in Wutin (Fokien province) the importation of foreign opium has been prohibited.\n\nOnly recently Sir Edward Grey, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, stated in Parliament that, while he is prepared to give legitimate support to the Chinese Government, the treaties must be firmly adhered to. We maintain that the British Government have given the Chinese practical proof of their desire to co-operate with them by reducing the yearly import of foreign opium into China, and in consideration of this generous arrangement, the Chinese should, on their part, abide by the treaties and by their undertaking.\n\nWe trust the Chamber will bring the strongest pressure to bear on the various authorities concerned with a view to protecting the opium trade during the few years left before it totally ceases. This protection is, we think, rightly due to British merchants, who are within a brief period compelled to give up a trade in which they have been engaged for the past seventy or eighty years.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\nDavid Sassoon and Co.

ELLIAS.\n\nABDOOLALLY EBRAHIM AND Co.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nBritish Opium Firms to Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.\n\nSir,\n\nHong Kong, September 29, 1909.\n\nWE have the honour to bring to your notice the fact that the opium regulations that the Kwangtung authorities attempted to bring into force last year, and which, through the energetic action of His Britannic Majesty's Minister, were promptly withdrawn, have again been revived. It is needless to trouble you with a recital of the details, as same are very fully set forth in a letter to Mr. H. H. Fox, His Britannic Majesty's acting Consul-General at Canton, dated the 23rd September, 1908, and to the Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, dated the 9th December, 1908, which appeared in the report of the Chamber of Commerce for last year.\n\nRecently the Kwangtung authorities, contrary to the undertaking given by the Wai-wu Pu to His Britannic Majesty's Minister that the regulations would apply to native opium only, have taken definite action by imprisoning a partner in the Chuen Cheong opium hong in August last and subsequently closing up the shop. Mr. H. H. Fox has been actively engaged in endeavouring to prevent this arbitrary enforcement of the regulations, but has been unsuccessful, and has had to refer the matter to His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking.\n\nThe Viceroy at Canton, in a despatch to Mr. Fox, while ignoring the various arguments placed before him, states that it is the duty of the Chinese Government to carry out the edicts with the utmost energy, \"as the foreign Powers were unanimous in their sympathetic assistance,\" and furthermore lays stress on the desire of the Hong Kong Government to prevent the smuggling of opium into Hong Kong as an excuse for levying increased taxation on opium in Canton.\n\nWe beg to enclose copy of the Viceroy's despatch to Mr. Fox, dated Canton, the 17th September, 1909, for your information. The existence of treaties between China and foreign Powers is entirely ignored; neither is any reference made to the undertaking given barely a year ago to the British Minister by the Wai-wu Pu, to which we have referred in the first part of our letter.\n\nA most important fact to which we beg to draw your attention is that the Indian\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nViceroy Yuan to Consul Fox.\n\nCanton, September 17, 1909.\n\nWITH reference to your despatch to my predecessor dated the 27th August, 1909, on the subject of the new regulations for the limitation of the sale of raw opium, stating that you had learnt that the Opium Prohibition Bureau had suddenly, without warning, arrested the manager of the Chuan Fu Cheng raw opium shop in the Hsing Lung Street, you requested that a careful enquiry might be made into the circumstances.\n\nOn receipt of your despatch, the Acting Viceroy Hu instructed the bureau to make an enquiry and report, and a note was at the same time sent to you in reply. The officials of the bureau state that, by the order of the late Viceroy Chang, dated February-March, it became their duty to issue licences to shops selling raw opium and to individual buyers. This procedure was in accordance with the regulations submitted to the Throne by the Government Council, and approved. A proclamation was issued at the time, and all raw opium dealers were summoned to the bureau and commanded to observe the regulations.\n\nThe statement that no warning was given is therefore difficult to understand.\n\nFor the raw opium shops, however, while professing acquiescence, secretly ignored the regulations, with the result that very few people took out buying licences. Several months past, with a reckless indifference to instructions, the dealers have been illicitly selling opium in this way. The bureau had discovered that ten or more of the raw opium shops had been obeying the regulations, and were willing to carry out",

IT will be within the recollection of the Chinese Government that in 1899 Brigadier-General Liu Tajên and Mr. J. G. Scott, the Chinese and British Commissioners for the delimitation of the Burmah-Yunnan boundary, reported that, in conformity with their instructions, they had demarcated the middle section of that frontier from the junction of the Nanipuang stream with the Taping River to the junction of the Nam Hpà with the Nam Ting. The report, which was signed and sealed by the two commissioners, stated that the line throughout was laid in conformity with the agreement between China and Great Britain signed at Peking on the 4th February, 1897. There followed a description of the boundary, together with a list of the cairns erected by the commissioners, numbering ninety-seven in all. In 1900 an officer of the Burmah Government was employed to erect permanent boundary cairns in place of the temporary cairns erected by the Boundary Commission.\n\n--\n\nIn January of this year the cairns were inspected by the deputy commissioner of the Bhamo district, the British consul at Tengyueh, and the prefect of Yung-Chang. These officers found that cairns Nos. 9 to 14 were correctly placed, but the prefect has since disputed the result of this inspection. In a subsequent note to the consul, he alleged that cairns Nos. 20, 22, 25, 26, and 29 were all incorrectly placed, and that he was not in a position at present to express any opinion regarding the positions of cairns Nos. 30 to 96, as he had not yet had an opportunity of examining them.\n\nIn bringing this matter to the notice of your Highness's Government, I am instructed to inform you that His Majesty's Government can in no circumstances allow the accuracy of these cairns, which has been unchallenged for ten years, to be now called in question.\n\nI have the honour to request that your Highness will be so good as to duly notify the local authorities in Yunnan to that effect.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n(In the absence of His Majesty's chargé d'affaires),\n\nE. SCOTT.\n\n[2893 a-1]",

        "content_text": "The river presented no serious obstacles as we proceeded, though at one point it narrowed between limestone boulders, impassable: but, as we neared, it was apparent that there was a narrow winding channel through the limestone ridges which jutted across the river from either bank. The Fu-po-t'an or Ta-t'an is a succession of three bad rapids separated by lesser rapids, with a total length of about 3 miles. This rapid forms the greatest danger to navigation on the West River for steamers or junks during the low-water season. In the lowest rapid, called 'The Ploughshare' from its shape, the peril is the rock known as Kua Tai, so called presumably because the rudder hangs round the bank. The channel is 24 feet wide. In the middle rapid the Ch'a Lu rock is the danger, and our boat actually struck this a slanting blow which stove in a plank. In the upper rapid there are two channels, the right-hand being the easier. Steaming our best—9 knots—and with six of the crew poling their hardest with long bamboo shoulder poles we just, but only just, ascended it.\n\nAt the top of the Fu-po-t'an stands the Drum Rock in the stream. Just above on the left bank is the fine temple, Fu-po-miao. We saluted the temple with three blasts, and received a salvo of five crackers in return, while the boat's crew bowed politely in certain anticipation of favours to come. It is curious to relate that descending in December 1909 by native boat, the strong wind drove us against the Ch'a Lu rock. The stern grounded with our bows still in the channel of the furious current. The skill of the pilot and the coolness of the crew extricated the boat from a seemingly hopeless position. Two special pilots, at 4d. each, had been taken for the run through the rapid. It has been proposed to improve the Pan-t'an and the Ta-t'an.\n\nMr. Eldridge, of Imperial Maritime Customs, was sent up to survey and report. I understand that he believes the Pan-t'an could be made safe by the expenditure of 100,000 taels. He appears to be doubtful about interfering with the Ta-t'an, unless the Provincial authorities are prepared to spend a large sum of money. Bearing in mind the fact that it is hazardous to interfere with \"living water,\" I believe that the upper parts of the Ta-t'an could be improved by some blasting. The lower and most dangerous bit—'The Ploughshare'—would undoubtedly cost a very large sum of money, as it requires blasting over a wide area, and embankments would be needed in order to train the channel, which might otherwise silt up.\n\nTwenty-seven miles above Nanning is the Kam-ling rapid, which is difficult to pass, with this exception, the river presents no serious difficulties to steam navigation, in so far as rapids go, although at dead low-water season (January) the channels are narrow and shallow, in many places 2 feet deep only. It is very probable, however, that a small motor boat, 60 feet long, could run with profit and little risk from April to December. High speed is unnecessary anywhere along the West River. I estimate that the rate of the fastest rapid between Wuchow and Pose at any time of the year does not exceed 9 knots. It does not follow, however, that a boat doing 12 knots could surmount this rapid. The rapids are generally formed by the narrowing of the river-bed by rocks and shingle banks. The surface of the water is forced into a tongue. The greatest speed is at the tip of the tongue or lower end, but it is the base or upper end which the steamer finds so difficult to ascend. The reason is, I think, because the tongue is an inclined plane of water, and, should the stretch above the rapid be wide and deep, the volume of the water pouring down the rapid is sufficient to check the passage of any craft trusting to speed alone. What is required is a lifting power to raise the boat up the inclined plane of water. This would be supplied either by a hawser fastened to a rock above the rapid or to a point on shore, or if the water be sufficiently shallow to allow of them by shoulder poles pushed by the crew on board.\n\nIn the West River the water is comparatively shallow. This explains the use of the narrow platforms running all round the boats. In the Yang-tsze rapids the water is deeper, and the boats do not therefore carry the platform. Generally speaking, the rapids on the West River, with the exception of the Ta-t'an and perhaps the Pan-t'an at dead low water, are nothing like as formidable to negotiate as the worst rapids on the stretch between Ichang and Chungking.\n\nNanning, the most important town in the province of Kuanghsi from a commercial point of view, lies on the north bank of the river 330 miles (1,105 li) above Wuchow. The town was formally opened to trade and a branch of the Imperial Maritime Customs established there at the beginning of 1907. During my visit in January 1907 work was in full swing on the new settlement located about a mile below the city. The business quarter is above the city. The ground had been levelled, roads marked out and sites ready for apportionment; 600 coolies were busily engaged in building the bund. The location of the settlement was chosen on the advice of the Imperial Maritime Customs. The situation, however, is unfortunate, not only on account of its distance from the business quarter, but also on account of the attacks of the river at high water. As a matter of fact, the ancient town stood much in the position occupied by the settlement and appears to have been removed on account of the subsidence of the river banks. In August 1907 the bund collapsed. It has been temporarily patched up again, but it is doubtful if it will stand the attacks of the river for any length of time. The Chinese Settlement Land Office has been built and there is a flimsy mat-shed erection of a Chinese theatre. There are no other buildings in the settlement. The Commissioner of Customs lives in the Land Office. Last summer he found some difficulty in procuring an adequate supply of tubs in which to catch the rain-water as it leaked through the roof. The treasurer of the province who, during his secret investigations of the secret societies at Nanning, was temporarily occupying the ground floor complained that the rain, which had soaked the upper floors, dripped on to him below; 120,000 taels is the sum mentioned to me as having been frittered away on the scheme. The total absence of Chinese merchants is a melancholy illustration of their want of confidence in their own officials.\n\nThe trade of Nanning has slowly but steadily increased during the last three years, and there appears reason to hope it will develop more freely.\n\nLungchou.—Lungchou, the treaty port on the Kuanghsi-Tongking frontier, appears to be an absolute failure from a commercial point of view. I was assured by a competent authority that there is not sufficient trade to keep one junk in constant employment between Lungchou and Nanning. Lungchou is on the Tso-chiang, the southern branch of the West River. The journey is about ten days by junk. The port was visited in 1908 by a British and subsequently by a German gun-boat. The junction of the Tso-chiang with the West River is at San-chiang-k'ou. A Chinese fort is being erected at this point. It is proposed to station 250 men there, ostensibly as a guard against pirates but really, extraordinary as the idea may be, as an advanced post of Nanning in case of a sudden inroad of French troops.\n\nThe foreign trade of Nanning, and the native, too, except that of a local and petty description, is in the hands of the Cantonese merchants at Nanning. The Chamber of Commerce is very influential, and controls public opinion. A recent meeting of this body presided over by the taotai and attended by all the officials, will serve to show that Nanning is becoming Cantonised. A young Cantonese merchant, in reply to the taotai's speech, which contained suggestions for the development of commercial prosperity, declared openly that the best method was for the officials to leave the merchants alone. Everyone knew, he said, that the aim of the officials was to get office, and fill their money-bags at the expense of the merchants and the people. The meeting broke up in some confusion. It is tolerably certain that three years ago no Nanning merchant would have dared to have been so presumptuously outspoken. In the Chamber of Commerce a scroll has been hung in a conspicuous place. The scroll is inscribed with the text of the governor's telegram repudiating the action of the magistrate, a Cantonese, in having compelled a Cantonese merchant to kneel before him. The magistrate was transferred, and the Nanning Chamber of Commerce called upon other Cantonese to disown him as a fellow-provincial. It is noteworthy that a telegram received from the Tien-tsin Chamber of Commerce urging steps to be taken to assist in the redemption of the foreign indemnities did not even come up for discussion in the Nanning Chamber of Commerce. The merchants appeared to be unwilling to withdraw capital from their provincial trade in order to finance a loan the interest on which would be repaid to them by means of additional burdens on trade.\n\nTrade. The principal exports of Kuanghsi are essential oils (aniseed and cassia), oil (groundnut, tea, and wood), hides, star aniseed, groundnuts, cattle and pigs, indigo, raw silk, and timber.\n\nThe principal imports are cotton yarn, cotton piece goods, kerosene oil, sugar, and Chinese tobacco.\n\nThe increase in the cultivation of groundnuts and mulberry trees is very marked, especially in the country between Nanning and Wuchow.\n\nThe ruined towns on the banks of the West River testify to the flourishing trade before the Taiping rebellion, and the Mahommedan rebellion in Yünnan.\n\nTin mines to the west of Wuchow are doing well, and if only the officials will abstain from interference, Chinese capitalists at Hong Kong and elsewhere will proceed to develop other mines. There are gold mines near En-lun-hsien.\n\nThe increased security of life and property along the river route, together with the increase in population and cultivation combine to improve the future prospects of the West River route. I was impressed by the marked improvement in the efficiency...\n\nPage 431",

(No. 409.)**\n\nPeking, November 11, 1910.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 278 of the 16th August, enclosing the copy of a note to the Chinese Government in which I warned them that His Majesty's Government could in no circumstances allow the accuracy of the cairns erected on the middle section of the Burmah-Yunnan boundary to be now called in question, I have the honour to forward, in translation, two notes which I have received from Prince Ch'ing in reply. I much regret that the first of these notes was mislaid, and that there has consequently been a delay in reporting to you on the matter.\n\nIt will be observed that the Viceroy has called the attention of the Wai-wu Pu to the absence of Chinese inscriptions on the ninety-seven cairns in question, and suggests that a British official should be invited to co-operate with Chinese officials in verifying the numbers and positions of the cairns and in engraving them with Chinese inscriptions. The Wai-wu Pu approve this proposal, and urge that advantage should be taken of the present favourable season to carry out the investigation.\n\nThere appears to be nothing in the proposal to add Chinese inscriptions to the existing cairns to which exception could be taken, but the alleged necessity of verifying their position suggests an intention of challenging its accuracy, and I have therefore ventured, in my telegram No. 186 of the 9th instant, to enquire what reply you would wish me to return to these notes.\n\nI have acknowledged their receipt, and informed the Wai-wu Pu that a further communication will be addressed to them on the receipt of your instructions.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

You stated that in January last the cairns were inspected by the deputy commissioner of the Bhamo district, the British consul at Tengyueh, and the Prefect of Yung-chang, who found that some of the cairns were correctly placed and some incorrectly placed. In bringing this matter to our notice you stated that you were instructed by your Government, in regard to the question of accuracy or inaccuracy in the erection of the cairns, to bid us notify the local officials in the province of Yunnan in accordance with the terms of your note under reply.\n\nOn receipt of the above, this Board addressed a despatch to the Viceroy of Yunnan, in reply to which the following telegram has now been received :----\n\nOn this section of the boundary-line tablets have been erected to the number of ninety-seven for the whole section.

        "content_text": "## Enclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\n**Note by the Military Attaché, Peking, dated March 7, 1911, on Despatch No. 7, dated January 31, 1911, from His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, Yünnan-fu, forwarding a Despatch (regarding the line of the frontier) from the Administrator of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, Yünnan-fu.**\n\nThe little map showing the line claimed by China (which accompanies Mr. O'Brien-Butler's despatch), the outcome of his investigation of maps with Mr. Hsia, shows the line, in the main, as claimed by the Wai-wu Pu, except that it concedes as British territory the whole of the basin of the Chipway Kha, whereas the line claimed in Prince Ch'ing's despatch of the 30th August, 1906, as well as the line proposed by Taotai Shih crossed that river instead of skirting its basin. The several lines proposed are shown on the sketch map which I attach to this note.\n\nIt must be noted that the map now sent by the consul-general was made by him, and is not signed or in any way vouched for by Mr. Hsia.\n\n## Enclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum by Lieutenant-Colonel Willoughby.**\n\nA point worthy of note is that the maps produced by Mr. Hsia were the War Office map of Yunnan of 1906 (compiled by Major Davies) as well as a Chinese map; from which it is evident that the Yunnan authorities were well aware of Pienma being within the boundary claimed by Great Britain.\n\nAnother point, however (and perhaps a somewhat unfortunate one), is that the War Office map in question shows (and I think fairly and with reason) a very considerable stretch of the Irrawaddy basin, further north, viz., some 55 miles of the head waters of the N'mai Kha itself (latitude from about 27° 38′ to 28° 23′ north) in the neighbourhood of Chamutong, as well as the sources of the Meh Kha, its eastern large affluent, in the Chiutzu country (Khanung), as being within Yunnan, i.e., on the Yunnan side of the as yet undelimited frontier (marked only by a dotted line). I think it will be found that the Chinese claims to this Chiutzu region will, later on, when the question comes up for discussion, be found to be at least as strong as those put forward with regard to Pienma. In this connection, I would draw attention to the report of M. Gaston Péronne, mentioned in consul Rose's despatch No. 15, dated Tengyueh the 11th May, 1910. M. Péronne's head-quarters had been for the past year at Atuntzu, \"which is now the centre of activity for the Chinese along the north section of the Yunnan border.\" One of His Excellency Chao Erh Feng's agents was then at Atuntzu on special duty; said to be a man of considerable intelligence and activity and believed to be pioneering the proposed \"Third Province\" (comprising parts of Szechuan, Yunnan and Thibet) in an endeavour to include territory as far south as the Atuntzu district, which would strengthen the hold of the Chinese on the tribal lands dividing China from the sphere of British administrative control.\n\nHe went with a considerable escort into the \"inner country\" in the autumn of 1909 and remained three months. \"There seems little doubt that he penetrated at least as far as the Hkamti Shans.\" Since his return, he had been busy making the Atuntzu-Chamutong road, and there were many evidences of the intention of the Chinese to push forward their influence in these regions, which until the last few years were entirely beyond their control. They were sparing no pains to restrict lama influence: establishing schools at the larger centres, and insisting on a regular return of presents from the tribespeople, who include \"black Lisu,\" Lutzu and Chiutzu, in addition to the Thibetan groups. From other sources Mr. Rose learnt that deputies sent out by the sub-prefect of Wei Hsi crossed to the Chiutzu country on the west bank of the Salween and collected tribute during the autumn of 1909; also that two companies of Likiang troops were under orders for the Wei Hsi district (one to be stationed on the Salween and one at Atuntzu).\n\nIt is satisfactory to know that Mr. Barnard's expedition to Hkamti (at the head-waters of the Mali Kha) started from Kamaing on the 10th December, to confer a \"sanad\" (patent of rulership) on the present Sawbwa of that State. Here, at any rate, we are on quite firm ground, as there is ample documentary evidence in support of British suzerainty over Hkamti. As far back as 1892, the then chief was in possession of a document from the deputy commissioner of Bhamo acknowledging his right to the protection of the British Government, and proclaiming his territory to be part of the district controlled by the deputy commissioner of Bhamo.\n\nA point of considerable importance in connection with the question of the upper waters of the Irrawaddy is brought out by a journey made by Mr. E. C. Young from Yünnan through Pienma and Hkamti to Assam in the winter of 1905-6 (vide \"Geographical Journal\" for August 1907). According to his diagrams, the volume of the N'mai Kha considerably exceeds that of the Salween, in about the same latitude, and both are much bigger than the Mali Kha. The measurements are so remarkable that they leave room for doubt as to the sources of the N'mai Kha being within such reasonable distance as to admit of our claiming the whole of the head-waters of the Irrawaddy basin as being in Burmah, and so in British territory. Unfortunately, our knowledge of the geography of the upper waters of the N'mai Kha is very limited, but, at any rate, it would seem to be impossible that its source can be north of a point somewhere in the latitude of Mekong, as the Indian explorer Krishna (A. K.), in crossing to Rima from the Salween, not far north of Mekong, seems to have found no other large stream in his path, but \"proceeded up a small affluent of the Salween, over a 'divide by the Ti La pass (16,100'), and finally down an affluent of the Zayul or Lohit till he reached Rima without much difficulty. We thus possess certain information that between the head of the Assam valley and the Salween, there is but one pass.\"-(Sir Thomas Holdich's \"Thibet the Mysterious,\" p. 213.) No such doubt exists with regard to the head-waters of the Mali Kha, the high snowy barrier of the Nam Kiu mountains, which separates them from the Lohit basin, precluding any possibility of any of them taking their rise farther north. This snowy range seems obviously indicated as the boundary line between Upper Burmah and Thibet along the north of the Hkamti State.\n\nTo revert to the question of the delimitation of the boundary from the southern end of the undelimited portion: I anticipate the most strenuous resistance on the part of the Wai-wu Pu to admitting the Irrawaddy-Salween divide as the boundary northward--at any rate, of the southern confines of the Chiutzu country, about latitude 27° 35' north (for the reasons I have given above, and other reasons set forth below); and it is possible that they may even be able to put forward reasonable claims (that we as yet know nothing of) to some measure of control over portions of the intervening Mara country between the Khanung and Pienma.\n\nThe eastern branch of the head-waters of the N'mai Kha (the Chiu-chiang) appears, as I have mentioned above, to rise in the Tsarong district of Thibet, somewhere near Mekong (on the Salween, in latitude 28° 35′ north), and for three marches up-river from Tulong, the inhabitants of the valley (Chiutzu) pay tribute to the Yei-chih \"mokua\" (in the Wei Hsi sub-prefecture of Yunnan), and northward of that point, they are tributary to Tsarong (Thibet). (See \"From Tonkin to India,\" by Prince Henri d'Orleans, pp. 413, 414.)\n\nI think, therefore, it must be recognised that we may be unable to claim the whole of the waters of the Irrawaddy basin--in fact, that it may be necessary to recognise the \"southern confines of Thibet (mentioned in Sir F. Satow's despatch of the 1st May, 1906, to the Wai-wu Pu) as being somewhere about the latitude of Chamutong, i.e., approximately latitude 28 north (so far as the head-waters of the N'mai Kha are concerned). Furthermore, as below that point proceeding down-river to at least the Chiu Chiang Telo confluence, the inhabitants are tributary to Yei-chih and Wei-Hsi; at Tulong, in 1895, Prince Henri d'Orleans found a deputy from the Wei-Hsi sub-prefect), it would seem, perhaps, the simplest plan to consider that point, viz., the confluence, as a suitable point of departure of the frontier line west-wards from the river N'mai Kha.\n\nDuma on the Reun-nam (which is apparently the most easterly affluent of the Mali Kha) also appears from Prince Henri's narrative to be tributary to a Lisu chieftain subject to Yunnan, but this claim, at this rate, ought, I think, to be contested or compounded for by a payment or some compensation elsewhere. The Reun-nam (affluent of the Mali Kha (?)) is separated from the Telo (affluent of the N'mai Kha) by a very few miles only, and by a single mountain ridge, and it is along this ridge that a suitable frontier line might perhaps be found. From the top of this ridge, Prince Henri remarks \"in the west, a high white range running north-east and south-west was identified by us as the alps of Zayul, on the other side of which lies the basin of the upper Brahmaputra in Thibet. This high white range,\" the Nan Kiu mountains is not more than about 50 miles distant, in a straight line, from the Chiu chiang (N'mai Kha)-Telo confluence.\n\nPage 5\nPage 164",

        "content_text": "## The Unadministered Tribal Country Between Burmah, Assam, Thibet, and Yunnan\n\nThe unadministered tribal country lying between Burmah, Assam, Thibet, and Yunnan covers an area of some 15,000 or more square miles of jungle-clad and mountainous territory, imperfectly known and peopled sparsely by some of the most primitive savages to be found, at the present day, anywhere on the face of the globe. Up till recently, lack of enterprise on the part of our eastern neighbour has left this region to its primitive seclusion and barbarism, and it has formed, as it were, an impenetrable buffer state for Burmah.\n\nThe new era of energy and activity on her frontiers that has started of late in China, however, makes the question of a defined frontier line between the British dominions and those of the Chinese Empire a matter of ever-increasing urgency, and delay in setting about it will not tend to make the solution easier.\n\nThe matter seems to resolve itself into a question of whether the expediency of a well-defined geographical and ethnographical boundary and consideration of the eventual welfare of the populations of the region are sufficient to justify Great Britain in resorting to force to obtain the best line possible, and the easiest to define, namely, the watersheds bounding the whole of the waters of the Irrawaddy basin, in face of certain definite evidences of Chinese control or suzerainty over portions of the territories enclosed therein (notably the part at present in dispute, near Pienma, and that which certainly will be claimed later, viz., the Chiutzu country, astride the upper waters of the N'mai Kha). A point to be recognised is that if we do insist on this best possible line, we must be prepared to make good our claim to it, either by actual administration or well-defined suzerainty, involving recognition of responsibility for the good behaviour of the wild Kachins, Maru, and Lutzu, etc., situated within it. If the game is not considered worth the candle, then it is for consideration what definite points should form a basis for negotiation before actually embarking on delimitation of some other frontier-line. I think our geographical knowledge is sufficient to warrant, at any rate, the following demands:\n\n1. That the whole of the head-waters of the Mali Kha right up to the Nam Kiu mountains must be considered as British territory. (Consequent on this, an agreement would have to be arrived at as to the point in the Lohit valley, on the other side of those Nam Kiu Mountains, where British territory ends and Chinese begins, and I think it might be taken that Sati - latitude 28° 1′ 3′′ north, and longitude 96° 54′ 2′′ east - is British and Walung, a few miles further up-stream is Thibetan, and that the frontier-line should cross the river at some convenient point, to be mutually agreed on, by boundary commissioners on the spot, between those two places. As regards this part of the border, vide *Geographical Journal* of October 1909, p. 373).\n\n2. That, unless China can adduce proof to the contrary, the Maru country, between the Lashi territory of Pienma and the Chiutzu country on the Upper N'mai Kha at its great westerly bend, west of Yei-chih (on the Mekong in latitude 27° 41′ north) must be reckoned as in British territory.\n\n3. That in default of any satisfactory proof of Chinese control on the north bank of the Hsiao Chiang (it will be remembered that Taotai Shih admitted to Mr. Litton, in 1905, that the tribesmen beyond, i.e., on the right bank of, this stream were \"beyond the pale of civilised government\"), the Chinese claim to territory on that bank cannot be admitted. Should it, however, be considered desirable to admit the Chinese claim to the actual Pienma group of villages, under the Teng-keng \"fu-yu,\" the joint examination by Messrs. Litton and Shih in 1905, justify us, at any rate, I think, in refusing to acknowledge the hold of the Minkuang \"fu-yu\" over the valley of the Kansheng Kha. A compromise might, therefore, be made by drawing the line of demarcation between the Pienma group and the Kausheng Kha valley and the geographical features appear to lend themselves fairly well to such a division.\n\nThe modified frontier line might then run roughly as follows:\n\nFrom Manung Pum (present northern-most point of the demarcated line) along the Irrawaddy-Shweli divide to the peak marked 12,800′ (6 miles east of Lagwi, on the War Office map of 1906); thence down the spur shown as running nearly due north to the westerly bend of the Hsiao Chiang; across latter and north-west up spur to the peak marked 13,600′; and thence along the crest of the watershed enclosing the head-waters of the Hsiao Chiang till the main Irrawaddy-Salween divide is reached; then northward along that divide to the point where the Chinese-controlled Chintzu country begins, and perhaps the most convenient line of demarcation from this point would be the crest of the spur which forms the great westerly loop of the N'mai Kha (in latitude 27° 40′); the frontier line crossing the...",

The whole length of frontier line to be demarcated would, on the above basis, be about 300 miles, and it would, perhaps, be convenient to divide it into two sections, the southern from Manung Pum to the N'mai Kha-Telo confluence, and the northern from the Lohit Valley to the same point. On the southern section, all along the great Irrawaddy-Salween divide, very few boundary marks would be necessary owing to the naturally impassable character of the range. (see *\"Geographical Journal,\"* September 1908, pp. 257, 258). A pillar at each of the rare passes would suffice.\n\nSeeing that the Pienma region is the point where China is, for the moment particularly concerned, in the matter of \"saving face,\" it is possible that by conceding to her the whole of the basin of the Hsiao Chiang as far down as its junction with the Khetmaw-kha and making the boundary run up the spur opposite the mouth of that stream to the peak before-mentioned marked 13,600 (west of Kangfang) and thence, as above described, to the main Irrawaddy-Salween divide, &c., and possibly also some territorial compensation in the \"wild Wa\" country south of the Nam-ting she might be induced to do \"a deal\" as regards the Chiutzu country and agree to the whole of the head-waters of the Irrawaddy being included in British territory. This would, perhaps, be the fairest and most satisfactory solution if it could be arranged, and would greatly facilitate the work of demarcation. The slight concession of territory on the right bank of the Hsiao Chiang would, in point of fact, provide us with a better frontier than the valley line up the course of the stream, suggested by Taotai Shih.\n\nI attach a cutting from the *\"Peking and Tien-tsin Times,\"* of the 6th March, 1911, containing an article by Mr. E. C. Young (above mentioned) which makes out a fairly good case for Great Britain, even as regards the actual Pienma valley.\n\nI attach also a tracing of a part of the War Office map of Yunnan, of 1906, wherein I have added the Lohit valley, so as to show the whole border-land between Manung Pum and the point where British administered territory in Assam begins (viz., at Brahmakund on the Lohit). On this map I have shown the frontier-line as far as at present demarcated, the various proposed Chinese lines a short distance beyond that point, and the lines I have suggested in the foregoing note to mark the boundary right up to the borders of Assam.\n\nI would also draw attention to the following works which throw light on the subject under consideration, viz.:\n\n*\"Tonquin to India,\"* by Prince Henri d'Orléans, pp. 245, 269, 271, 273, 294, 319, 337, 396, 397, 398.\n*\"Thibet, the Mysterious,\"* by Sir Thomas Holdich, pp. 30, 211, 213, &c.\nThe *\"Geographical Journals,\"* of August 1907, p. 152; September 1908, p. 239; October 1909, p. 363; December 1909, p. 608.\n\nIn conclusion, to revert to the particular point on which this note was based, the reference by Mr. Hsia (the administrator of the Foreign Affairs Bureau at Yunnan-fu) to Sir E. Satow's despatch of the 30th January, 1904, is not, in point of fact, worthy of much consideration seeing that the conditions laid down in that despatch related to a state of things prior to a further joint examination of the frontier. That examination was carried out in 1905 and, consequent thereon, Sir E. Satow wrote a subsequent despatch (1st May, 1906), defining more clearly the line that Great Britain had decided to consider as the frontier, viz., the Irrawaddy-Shweli watershed to its junction with the main Irrawaddy-Salween watershed, and the latter thence northwards up to the confines of Thibet.\n\n*Not printed.\n\nM.

In the course of this advance the sovereignty of China was so definitely asserted in Thibet, that the Dalai Lama abandoned his capital early in the year, and an immediate attempt was made to pursue a similar policy along the whole frontier to the very southern limit of Keng-Hung. Two active and capable young lieutenants of the brothers Chao were then ordered to Yunnan, one Keng Pao-kuei as tuotai of the western marchies at Tengyueli and one to the little town of A-tun-tze, in that corner of the province of Kam, now generally known as Thibetan Yunnan, whilst a third was sent from Yunnan-fu to the Sipsong Panna or Southern Shan States of China, thus completing the chain of officers who could be trusted to pursue a forward and consecutive policy in all matters which affected China's western frontier.\n\nIt will be remembered that, as Szechuan was divided from Thibet by a series of semi-independent States under their own kings, princes, or \"tussu,\" so Yunnan is flanked by a band of tribal States inhabited by Lisus, Kachins, Was and Shans, the last of whom are numerically most important, and, although in a degenerate condition, are the relics of the old and powerful Nanchao Kingdom still holding a chain of fertile and prosperous valleys adjoining the Shan States of Burmah now under British rule. It will be remembered also that, of the 600 miles of actual frontier between Burmah and Yunnan, little more than half has actually been accepted by the Chinese Government, about 150 miles of still undelimited boundary lying to the north of Manung Pum along the clearly-marked though partially unexplored range of mountains known as the Irrawady-Salween divide, whilst the southern unrecognised tract lies to the east of the Wa country from Nalawt-Pangsang to the Namting River. After a joint examination of the northern undelimited stretch by the late Consul Litton and the Taotai Shih Hung-shao, in which it was found that the Chinese had not at any time carried their administration to the west of the great range, Sir Ernest Satow informed the Wai-wu Pu that His Majesty's Government would consider the Irrawady-Salween divide as our actual and natural frontier, though they were willing to compensate two Chinese families which claimed certain small tolls on the coffin-wood brought from the country to the west of the divide. The wisdom of this decision has been proved by the events of subsequent years, for it is now clear that the Chinese idea of peaceful penetration and purely money-making administrative efforts are a real menace to our Burmah subjects on the northern stretch, whilst their endless quibbles in regard to the arbitrary frontier in the Shan States have caused much unnecessary expense and an infinity of trouble to the Government of Burmah.\n\nOn the southern section Sir George Scott, finding his Chinese colleagues on the boundary commission of 1899-1900 unwilling to reach any finality in the delimitation of the border, proceeded to demarcate the frontier alone in accordance with the terms of the convention of 1897, the result of his work being known and generally accepted as \"Scott's Line,\" though to this day the Chinese Government has withheld its acceptance of the line laid down.\n\nFor some years the frontier as thus delimited has proved satisfactory in its practical working, but at the commencement of the present year the new activity of the Chinese precipitated events which threatened the tranquillity of the whole border-land. Under instructions from Tengyueh, the Chief of Tengkeng, on the Upper Salween, raided and burned the village of Hpimaw (\"Pien-ma\") to the west of the divide; information was received shortly afterwards that the officer on special duty at A-tun-tze had penetrated to and received tribute from the Khamti Long, a Shan State well within the Burmah frontier, whilst the Chinese deputy from Yünnan-fu entered the southern Shan States known as the Sip Song Panna, and, after killing the Shan chief or \"Sawbwa\" of Mong Se and a considerable number of people in this and the neighbouring States, firmly established the nucleus of direct Chinese administration in that district, which was, undoubtedly, one of the most lawless and dangerous in Yünnan. Nearer to Tengyueh the taotai has pursued with energy a similar policy in the northern group of Shan States. Chenkaug, the most unruly centre, has been definitely placed under the rule of a Chinese sub-prefect. Frontier deputies have been installed and have made considerable progress in the direction of Lisu and Shan affairs in the districts immediately adjoining the frontier, regular troops (under the old banner and known as Tsun Fang Tui) have recently arrived to garrison the Shan States of Nantien, Changta, and Kangai, further reinforcements have left within the last few days for the border States of Lungchuan and Mengmao, five forts have recently been constructed along that section of the frontier adjoining the Burmah district of Myitkyina, and 1,000 men of the modern-drilled army, which had previously advanced no further west than Talifu, have just arrived to strengthen the garrisons at Tengyueh and Yung-chang Fu.\n\nOn general principles there would appear to be every advantage to us in this westward advance of Chinese administration, for the direct responsibility of Chinese officers and of the Yunnanese provincial Government is certainly preferable to that of a horde of dissipated and degenerate Shan Sawbwas, who have little realisation of their neighbourly duties and no power to enforce their orders, even though their intentions may be of the best, and there can be little doubt that Chinese administrative aspirations would meet with the most sympathetic response from the Government and the frontier officers of Burmah as long as they were conducted on friendly lines. It is to be regretted, however, that there has been an apparent lack of any desire for friendly understandings and an inclination to disregard the most obvious duties of neighbourly intercourse with their British colleagues on the part of some of the officers who have been chosen as instruments in the Chinese scheme of administrative expansion, nor have they confined their efforts to that territory and to those affairs which fall legitimately within their sphere of influence. Reference to the Tengkeng raid and the Khamti incident have already been made, and the Taotai Kong has adopted throughout the year a most unfriendly and unconciliatory attitude at Tengyueh. The year commenced with the destruction of a British supplementary boundary pillar; a regular frontier pillar (No. 38), on the section already definitely accepted by the Chinese, was at a later date defaced by his orders, and would have been destroyed but for the action of his delegates; the position of a number of British pillars on the middle and accepted section has been called in question; the interpreter who accompanied me into the unadministered territory in the spring has been thrown into prison by him; the attempts of the Burmah Government to define the rights of transfrontier cultivators—a task undertaken at the direct request of the Yunnan Government and carried out at considerable expense—were hedged throughout the year by persistent difficulties, and the efforts of the British frontier officers and of this consulate to settle cases of murder and robbery between the frontier subjects of Burmah and Yunnan were constantly met by him in a discourteous and obstructive spirit.\n\nAs the year drew to a close there still remained the hope of effecting settlements of outstanding cases and disputes at the annual frontier meetings, and I shall submit a report of these functions in a subsequent paragraph. In the meanwhile, various expeditions set out from the British side of the frontier to extend the administrative sphere of the Burmah Government, and to gather further information in regard to the little known tracts lying to the extreme north and east of Upper Burmah. A column under Mr. W. A. Hertz, deputy commissioner of Myitkyina, has visited the unadministered territory, and advanced as far east as the Irrawady-Salween divide in the neighbourhood of Hpinaw (\"Pien-ma\"); a small party has also visited the Khamti Long, whilst an expedition from Assam has advanced eastward from the Naga hills and entered some of the unexplored tracts lying to the extreme north of Burmah. These parties have not yet returned, but the results of their journeys will be of the deepest interest, as they will throw fresh light on that mysterious corner of our great north-eastern frontier which has been but dimly outlined by the travels of the late Consul Litton, of Mr. Errol Grey, and Mr. Noel Williamson. Mr. Litton believed that he saw the main range of the Irrawady-Salween divide sweep round to the west in a line of snow-clad peaks at about latitude 28°, near Chamutong on the Salween River, and his observations would appear to substantiate the theory of those Indian geologists and explorers who believe that the central axis of the Himalaya extends towards this point. If these facts could once be definitely established, we should have the satisfaction of knowing that the whole of the north-east frontier is circled by a mountain belt at once clearly defined and difficult of passage, for our experiences along the middle section of the Burmah-Yunnan frontier, where the boundary follows an imaginary line through irrigation channels and changing paddy-fields, and recent events in the unadministered territory indicate that on every ground, political, administrative, and commercial, it is in the highest degree inadvisable that we should be dependent on a zigzag and indefinite line marked only by shifting river beds and artificial boundary pillars. I hope to deal with the question of the existing frontier under a separate heading, but, in view of the recent Chinese objections to our standing pillars and of their general activity along this border line, it ...\n\nPage 434",

        "content_text": "## The Future of the Frontier\n\nIn the first paragraph of this report, I have endeavoured to outline the present situation on the Burmah-China frontier, and in closing it, I would submit a brief summary of the points which still appear to merit consideration and to call for action in the future. My plea on behalf of the Bhamo-Tongyueh Railway was presented in the Tengyueh Trade Report for 1909 (issued as a **Confidential** paper No. `9700`), and to that, I have nothing to add. There remains only the completion of the frontier line.\n\nFrom 1897 until 1900, boundary commissions were at work, endeavouring to delimit the Burmah-China frontier on the broad lines laid down by the conventions of 1894 and 1897, and, although a long stretch was definitely settled, much remains to be done. In the ten years which have followed, much new information has been gathered, and many new factors have intervened, the most important of which appears to be the activity of the Chinese, who have installed themselves as our neighbours along the whole of the north-east frontier of India, and who are endeavouring to press their administrative machinery and their military forces to the very limit of the political border line. In approaching this question, I am anxious to avoid any suggestion of alarm, for there does not appear to me any probability that even the modern-drilled troops of Szechuan or Yünnan will be anxious to try conclusions with the forces of India. The conditions of local activity, however, do appear to indicate that the Chinese belief in their widespread supremacy, their modern cries of \"Rights' Recovery\" and \"China's Sovereignty,\" and their genius for intrigue and peaceful expansion, may prove factors of grave difficulty unless the border line is completed and a halt is called before they have over-stepped that line which has been realised by His Majesty's Government as our real political frontier, and beyond which the Chinese have been unable in the past to substantiate any claim.\n\nThe difficulty of gathering reliable information as to many of the more remote sections of the border makes me diffident in advancing sweeping assertions of their progress, but there appears little doubt that they have at least reached the limit of their rights in the unaccepted stretch to the east of the Wa country, that they have overstepped that limit in the direction of Hpimaw (Pien-ma) and Khamti, and that they have ventured very near to the Indian borderland in the advance from the Yünnanese post A-tun-tze to Rima (latitude 28° 10', longitude 97° 10'), which lies 160 miles south-west of Batang and 120 miles east of Sudiya. Our present information appears to indicate the construction of a military road from Batang towards Rima, probably in the hope of reaching Lhassa without traversing the turbulent Thibetan province of Kam. The Chinese attitude towards the undelimited frontier is graphically sketched in a letter from Yunnan-fu of the 9th February, 1911, in which Mr. O'Brien-Butler writes:\n\n\"I noticed with great interest on the Chinese map produced by the Administrator of Foreign Affairs that the whole country above this point—the junction of the Ngaw-chang Kha and the 'Nmai Kha—was labelled Hsi-tsang—Thibet! The map was long and narrow and only represented the country to the west about as far as the Mali Kha,\n\nThe events of the past season, and more especially the advance of the administrative expedition into the country north of Myitkyina, have had the anticipated effect of placing us in an unusually good position on the frontier. The Chinese have not departed from their usual attitude of yielding rapidly to fear when all reason has failed, and local conditions appear to me to indicate their readiness to accept the accomplished fact. It is significant that in response to the repeated and excited telegrams to the Viceroy at Yünnan-fu in regard to the menace of British troops on the frontier and the activity which was necessary in order to expel them from Hpimaw, his Excellency vouchsafed only the laconic reply to the taotai: \"What proof have you that Pien-ma belongs to China?\"\n\nI gather that the taotai is anxious that the broad question of the frontier line and all outstanding difficulties should be settled locally, though I am unable to ascertain how far this idea has been inspired by higher authorities. Should the Chinese Government show any desire for a local settlement, the proposal would, I think, be worthy of consideration, for all opposition comes primarily from local sources, discussion on the spot would focus difficulties, our local position is favourable, and such an arrangement would secure for us a strong reserve of moral backing and support at Peking. We have waited for ten years to try and settle this question, and it seems clear that the activity and forward advance of the Chinese now calls for action on our part, whilst we cannot tell when so favourable an opportunity will occur again.\n\nI have had the honour to submit by telegram the points which appear to call most urgently for settlement as seen from the local point of view, and I would now summarise them in clearer and fuller form for your consideration.\n\nThe Chinese Government has approached us with a request for a joint inspection of, and the addition of Chinese inscriptions to, the existing boundary pillars. As far as I can ascertain, they were not notified of the erection of these pillars, and though they have no valid reason for raising objections at this late date, it might be desirable to secure their acceptance by the Yunnan Government, and to close the endless quibbles which now exist, by proving to the Chinese that we have not tried to encroach upon their territory. I would suggest, therefore, that this joint inspection should be conceded provided:\n\n| Condition | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | That the Chinese were willing to accept the entire frontier line, including that section to the east of the Wa country generally known as \"Scott's Line,\" and lying between Nalawt-Fangsang (latitude 22° 10' north, longitude 99° 10' east), and the Nauting River (latitude 23° 28' north, longitude 95° 52' east); and also that section to the north of Manang Pum (latitude 25° 33' north) as far as that point approximately at 28° north latitude, where the Salween-Irrawady watershed is believed to sweep round in a westerly direction or to be joined at right angles by a lofty and definitely marked range, which has long proved the actual and natural boundary on geographical and ethnographical grounds between the outlying and hitherto unadministered portions of India, Yunnan, and Thibet. |\n| 2 | That China would sign an agreement similar to that draft which is attached to Mr. Litton's report on the undelimited north-east frontier, dated the 20th May, 1905. |\n| 3 | That competent surveyors were appointed by China to accompany the party, or that they agreed beforehand to accept as conclusive the evidence of the British survey officers. |\n| 4 | That pillars were erected by the party as they proceeded along the unmarked sections. |\n\nPage 440",

        "content_text": "## Military Affairs\n\nThe general military situation on the Yunnan border has been outlined in the body of this report, and, in view of the recent and detailed description which has been given by Captain B. E. A. Pritchard both of the modern troops and of the old army in Yunnan, there remains little for me to add, save a general summary of the present distribution which has been affected by the recent situation on the frontier. The transfer of a body of new troops to Tengyueh has been foreseen for some months, and, although they have been hurried towards the frontier districts at a somewhat earlier date than was expected or was convenient for the Chinese, there seems no reason to believe that any material change has taken place in the general plan of action. The frontier garrisons in the districts to which my sources of information extend are given in a separate note attached to this report as `Enclosure 5`, and I have added also a short description of the new forts on the frontier as `Enclosure 6`.*\n\n### Mobility of New Troops\n\nOne of the strongest criticisms which has been levelled at the modern-drilled troops of China has been their need of an undue amount of transport—a point on which they generally compare unfavourably with the old troops, who move quickly and are practically self-supporting. It may be of interest, therefore, to give a brief account of the march of the 500 men who have recently arrived at Tengyueh from Talifu. The distance is 240 miles, and this was covered in twelve days, giving daily marches of 20 miles, a creditable performance, as the road is mountainous and steep. They were preceded by a small advance guard, all of whom were mounted and who travelled a day ahead, making a survey as they went and selecting sites for camps. The main body proceeded always in marching order, by twos or fours as the width of the road permitted, each man carrying his rifle, bayonet, and a small quantity of ...\n\n* Not printed.\n\nPage 16 \n\n5. That Tantai Shih Hung-shao were immediately recalled to office. This officer lost his post and was cashiered, in spite of the protests of His Majesty's Minister and of the Government of India, as a punishment for his friendly attitude in attempting to arrange a settlement of the northern frontier with Mr. Litton and Mr. Leveson in 1905. His recall to office before any further negotiations commenced would greatly strengthen the hand of those Chinese officers who might be appointed to settle the question now.\n\n6. That Li San-pao, the interpreter who accompanied me to the unadministered territory in the spring, and who was therefore imprisoned by the taotai, were immediately released.\n\nIn the above points I have outlined what would appear to be the extreme limit of the favourable terms which could be granted by us, and, in view of the duplicity of the original Chinese negotiators in certain instances and of the unfailing Chinese obstruction along this frontier, I do not know that the Government of Burma would consider those suggestions under paragraph (1) to be admissible. I do not know, too, if such an arrangement as the above could be carried through in the ordinary way of business by the consul and the taotai, or whether it would be necessary for them to receive special powers. In any case it would, I think, be desirable that an officer of the Burma Government should act with the consul and the Chinese representatives, and that this officer and the consul should have an opportunity of meeting Mr. Stirling, of the Southern Shan States, Mr. Thornton, the Deputy Commissioner of Bhamo, and Mr. Hertz at a conference with the Chief Secretary to the Government, in order that the British position might be thoroughly clear to them before work commenced. Amongst those Chinese officers who would be suitable for the work are the Taotai Keng Pao-kuei of Tengyueh, Peng Chi-chih, at one time assistant boundary commissioner, lately Prefect of Yungchang and now Special Salt Commissioner for the Frontier districts; and Chao-kai-hsuan, the Frontier Deputy for Foreign Affairs. Work could not commence before the 1st October of this year, owing to the incidence of the rains, but much might be accomplished in one open season if the issues were clear and the question were pushed to a conclusion now that the Chinese are convinced that the Government of Burma is in earnest, and that it is to their interest to effect a speedy settlement of the entire north-eastern frontier.\n\n## SKETCH MAP OF BURMA-CHINA FRONTIER\n\n| Location        | \n| --------------- | \n| 94 E of GREENWICH | \n| Rima            | \n| MAPUTRA         | \n| Jo Sadiya       | \n| JH KAMTI        | \n| SAM             | \n| CHIRGWIN        | \n| KATHA           | \n| R.MALI KHA      | \n| AMAI KHA        | \n| MYITKYINA       | \n| TAPING RIVER    | \n| BHAMO           | \n| Apima           | \n| MANANG PUM      | \n| Sadan           | \n| Simao           | \n| Kangai          | \n| TÉNG YUEM       | \n| Sintan/Lungchuge | \n| UNGLING         | \n| R.SHWELI        | \n| SALWEEN         | \n| Mongman         | \n| NAMKHAM         | \n| bkut Koi Kuninga | \n| YMYO            | \n| TAUNGGYI        | \n| RANGOUN         | \n| MOUTHS OF IRRAWADY | \n| BAY OF BENGAL   | \n| SALWEEN         | \n| WILD            | \n| LASHID          | \n| WAS             | \n| Pang Sung       | \n| Nnicat          | \n| Batang          | \n| Wei-hsi         | \n| Litang          | \n| S SÚ CHUAN      | \n| Changtie        | \n| Yungning        | \n| Alsi Ferry      | \n| LIKIANG         | \n| YANGTSE         | \n| Chao-Chou       | \n| GYUNG-CHANG     | \n| NAKTING RIVE    | \n| Cher-pien-Ting  | \n| JaMenglem       | \n| SONG PANNA      | \n| KENG TUNG       | \n| không hại       | \n| Hồng Sẽ         | \n| TONKIN          | \n| YUNNANFU        | \n| RIVER MEKONG    | \n| Sau mau         | \n| RED RIVER       | \n\n2B \n96 \nOB \n301 \n¤Åturize \nA \n$ \n100 \n150 \n200 MILES \n100 \n(36.31.1423) FO (1974 -2)",

        "content_text": "## \nis unafordable from Tangtung village downwards, flows in a deep gorge through this mountain-chain. Navigation is unthinkable in connection with this river, and it is only in a few places that a raft or boat could live on it.\n\nThe height of the Wulaw pass through which the proposed line passes is estimated at 9,000 feet, and as this apparently is the lowest point in the whole chain, the range is nearly as high as the main divide. There are no roads of any sort across it except a very difficult one going westward from somewhere below the village of Wulu (Lao Wulu) and the one that leads over the Wulaw pass. The only vulnerable point, therefore, is the above-mentioned gorge, which Major #french-Mullen, who is commanding my escort, thinks it would be more difficult to force if held in strength than any of the passes over the Salween watershed. The range is thus a very formidable barrier. That officer also agrees with me that it would be just as easy to defend this line as the other, perhaps easier, and it will give us a boundary that will preclude the possibility of further dispute with the Chinese. On the other hand, if the divide is the frontier, we should possess two lines of defence at this point instead of one.\n\n## \n\nIt would doubtless add somewhat to our prestige if we could retain Hpimaw, as we have claimed it, and it might detract from our prestige slightly if we gave it up. But I think the latter difficulty could be got over by arranging a friendly meeting between the local officials when the boundary is finally accepted by the two Governments, at which the local people would be informed that each side is making concessions to the other; the Chinese are giving up their claim to Hparè, Lagwi, Gawyawn, and Chikgaw, and we, on the other hand, are surrendering ours to Hpimaw, Tangtung, Gawlam, Kangfang, and the Lisu villages north of Kangfang, together with the forests of shamu trees from which the coffin-wood, which the Chinese value so much, is obtained. If this is done, it will also help to save the \"face\" of the Chinese, and would no doubt be a most acceptable arrangement to them. The frontier could be demarcated at the same time.\n\nUntil it is settled where the frontier is to be, we must prevent the Chinese from stepping across the divide after our departure and interfering with the people. In order to put a stop to this, the country up to the crest of the watershed must be administered, and the cheapest way to do so, as I have already reported, is to appoint a “taungok,” or superior headman, as was done in the Shingaw valley, who will live in the Lungpang group of villages, and stop any attempt on the part of the local fuyi to cross the frontier or send his retainers across it. My best Lashi headman, Labao Nu, of Lajawng village, is available for this purpose.\n\nHe is related to the headmen of the Lungpang group of villages, is influential and trustworthy, has been rewarded by the Viceroy and the Lieutenant-Governor of Burmah for good work, and is willing to accept the post on a salary of 50 rupees a-month. With such an official on the spot, and a civil officer at Wanghte to support him, we should be able to keep officious Chinese underlings out of the country until the question of the frontier is finally decided.\n\nAs regards the Hpimaw tract, I suggest that the Chinese Government should be asked not to permit the Tengkeng fuyi or his agents or servants to visit or administer it until the negotiations in connection with the frontier are concluded. This would not be an unreasonable request to make and might be acceded to.\n\nIf the Chinese agree to accept the proposed boundary up to the confines of Thibet, well and good. If not, we should be content to have it as far as latitude 27° north, beyond which nothing is known of the country except that it is perhaps the most difficult in the world, and is inhabited by Black Marus and other tribes of intractable savages, with whom the Chinese have little or no dealings. The country has never been explored, and is a blank on the map. Prince Henri of Orleans made a perilous journey across it from east to west in latitude 27° 40′ north, but has added little to our geographical knowledge of the region. The settlement of this portion of the frontier may therefore be postponed indefinitely.\n\nAs regards the branch of the 'Nmaikha near latitude 28° north, known as the Chin River to the Chinese, the basin of which is inhabited by the little-known tribe of Chiu-Tzu, who are supposed to be tributary to the Chinese Chief of Yetche (Yei Chil) on the Mekong, I agree with the late Mr. Litton that it would only confuse matters to raise the question of so distant and difficult a country about which both the Chinese and ourselves know so little.\n\nA boundary commission is a thing to be avoided. It is very expensive, and as the Chinese officers are afraid to accept responsibility, and rue it if they do, it usually ends in an impasse, or if a settlement is arrived at the Celestial Government will refuse to ratify it. No Chinese official could venture to give up a yard of Chinese soil, or supposed Chinese soil, without running the risk of losing his position and perhaps also his life. Their attitude is consequently always one of passive resistance. If possible, therefore, the frontier should be laid down in London or Peking, preferably the former, as the Chinese officials there will probably understand a map better than those in Peking. The whole thing, as Mr. Litton says, could be settled amicably in ten minutes if we had a civilised Government to deal with.\n\nI can find nothing in any document in my possession, or in any paper to which I have had access, regarding the frontier proposed by Taotai Shih Huang Chao. If it includes in China the upper portions of the Chipwi, Hparè, and Lagwi valleys, it is quite useless to us as a line of partition between the two countries, for it would be naked to attack and indefensible; each of these valleys would furnish a pied-à-terre to a hostile force or a site for a future fort, and form an enclave where our bad characters and discontented spirits would congregate. In fact, it would be out of the question for us to accept such a boundary.\n\nThere can be no doubt that the people will welcome us with open arms everywhere, even at Hpimaw, for they know that we will bring peace and money into the country, which at present is steeped in poverty and a prey to chronic disorder.\n\n### 4. Text of proposed Convention\n\nIf the boundary as originally proposed is accepted by the Chinese Government in its entirety, the following draft of the text of a convention, taken from Mr. Litton's report, could be accepted by the Government of Burmah :--\n\n\"(a.) From Manang Bam,* in latitude 25° 33′ north, the frontier will follow the crest of the watershed range between the Nmaikha River with its tributaries to the north, and the Taping and Shweli (Lung Chiang) Rivers with their tributaries to the south, until it reaches the watershed between the Salween and the Irrawaddy Rivers.\n\n| Localities/Natural Features | Belong to |\n| --- | --- |\n| Pan Wa Kou pass, the Tsu Mei (Sisters) peak, the Ta Ya Kou pass, the Tzu Chu Ya You (Lagwi) pass, the Feng Shui Ling pass, the Ta Ho Tou ridge |  |\n| the valleys (pa-tzu) of Lunma and Tan Tsa, the Lang Ya Shan peak, the Tientan valley, the Mingkwang valley, the Tatang valley | China |\n| the valleys of the Shingaw, Tamu (Tun Maw) and Chipwi Rivers, the parè or Hkansheng valley, the Lagwi, Tzu Chu or Mangshang valley, and the Shijang (Hsieh Chiang) valley; the Hpimaw valley, comprising the drainage of the Htangjam, Changzaw (Pi Ho) and Muku streams; the whole of the drainage of the Ngawehang (Hsiao Chiang) River | Burmah |\n\n\"Thence the frontier will follow the crest of the lofty and conspicuous range known locally as the Kao Liang Kung or Kao Li Kung, which forms the watershed between the Salween and the Irrawaddy Rivers as far as latitude passing through the crest of the Pien-ma (Hpimaw) Ya Kou pass.\n\n\"The whole of the basin of the Salween (Lu Chiang) thus belongs to China and the whole basin of the Irrawaddy to Burmah.\n\n* (b.) As the frontier now laid down follows conspicuous ranges of hills and is well known no further demarcation on the spot will be necessary, but it is agreed that officers will be dispatched by both Governments to erect boundary pillars at the principal passes over the ranges which form the frontier. Any difficulty in recognising the places mentioned will be settled by reference to the map which is attached to the English and Chinese versions of the convention, and which is recognised by both Governments as authoritative.\n\n\"(c.) It is understood that this convention does not affect the frontier of the various Thibetan districts, which will be reserved for future discussion.\n\n\"(d.) The Yunnan Government having reported that certain headmen (fuyi') on the Chinese side of the frontier claim customary presents or pecuniary dues from villages situated on the Burmah side thereof, the British Government agrees to pay to the Chinese Government an annual sum of ... rupees in full compensation for the extinction of such claims. All jurisdiction and sovereignty over such villages shall thenceforth reside in His Britannic Majesty for ever. It is agreed that this sum ... rupees shall be paid annually, commencing from the ... by His Britannic Majesty's consul at Tengyueh, through the Taotai of West Yunnan, to be distributed to the said headmen (fuyi') in such proportions as the Chinese Government may determine.\n\n* I have omitted the words \"the high conical peak\" because they are not a correct description of the hill on which the northernmost boundary pillar of the convention has been erected.\n\nPage 446",

D. Sassoon and Co., on the 10th instant, and to request you to be good enough to enquire into the circumstances of the seizure of these thirteen chests of Indian opium, and, if the facts are as stated, protest against the seizure.\n\nI am, &c. (In the absence of a Colonial Secretary),\n\nG. CLEMENTI\n\n## Enclosure 6 in No. 1\n\n### Messrs. David and Messrs. E. D. Sassoon and Co. to Mr. Clementi\n\nHong Kong, February 23, 1911.\n\nAS we understand that you have as yet received no reply from His Britannic Majesty's consul at Amoy with regard to the seizure of the three chests of Bengal opium and ten chests Malwa opium in the district of Wing Ting, we shall be much obliged if you will be good enough to urge the consul to press the Chinese officials to restore the opium to the owner as speedily as possible.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\nDAVID SASSOON AND Co.  \nE. D. SASSOON AND Co.\n\n## Memorandum\n\nTHE country people in the district of Wing Ting, in the prefecture of Ting Chou, Fukien province, seized, on the 19th day of the 12th moon (i.e., 19th January), three chests Bengal opium and ten chests Malwa opium shipped from Hong Kong to Amoy. The owner has protested to the magistrate of Wing Ting, with whom the opium is now held, but he has received no redress. The opium had the usual customs transit certificate—duty and li-kin having been paid in Amoy. Moreover, the owner had trading licences. The opium was seized not by the officials on account of any infraction of the laws of the province, but by the anti-opiumists, who handed the opium to the magistrate.\n\nThe name of the owner is: Mr. Kong Shau Sun, of Messrs. Nam Mi Shop.\n\nHong Kong, February 10, 1911.\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### (Translation) Note by Ho Taotai\n\n1st month, 19th day (February 17, 1911).\n\nON the 17th of the first month I had the honour to receive your despatch to the effect that the foreign firm of Sassoon and Co. at Hong Kong had sold thirteen chests of opium to the firm of Nan Mei at Amoy, that this latter firm paid the duties and took the stuff under pass to Yung Ting Hsien, where it was seized by the Opium Abolition Society, and handed over to the magistrate. You request me to order him to release it.\n\nI have instructed the Yung Ting magistrate to make a thorough investigation of the circumstances, and report to the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, who will deal with the matter and reply to your despatch.\n\nCompliments.\n\n(Card of Ho Taotai).\n\n## Enclosure 7 in No. 1\n\n### Consul Sundius to Acting Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong\n\nSir,\n\nAmoy, March 2, 1911.\n\nI BEG to acknowledge the receipt of your two communications of the 10th and 24th ultimo having reference to the alleged seizure at Yung Ting Hsien of opium sold by Messrs. Sassoon & Co. to the native merchant.\n\nOn receipt of the first of your letters I communicated with the Chang Chou taotai, in whose jurisdiction Yung Ting Hsien lies, demanding that the drug be released, and in due course received that official's reply to the effect that he had directed the magistrate of the district in question to report on the matter to the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs at Foochow who would reply to my despatch.\n\nI have again written to the Chang Chou taotai to the effect that there was no good purpose served by bringing in other authorities and thus delaying matters and reiterating my request that the goods be released forthwith. I have also addressed the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs in the same sense.\n\nFrom the fact that the highest local authority declined without delay to deal with the matter personally and shifted the responsibility on to the provincial Government, I am of opinion that this action on the part of the Opium Abolition Society and the magistrate is due to inspiration from head-quarters, and that further local correspondence will only be useful as a reminder that such action is protested against. The matter will have to be referred to Peking, but prior to my sending the case for treatment by His Majesty's Minister, I must await a communication from the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, in order that I may know what line he is taking in justification of this apparently high-handed procedure.\n\nAt the same time I may mention that the seizure was effected, not by the peasantry, but by the local representatives of a widespread association, having its head-quarters in Peking, with branches and sub-branches throughout the whole Empire. The organisation has the approval of the central Government, and has as its chief a member of the Imperial Family with the title of \"Chin Yen Ta Ch'en.\" The object of the association is the absolute suppression of the opium habit, and from the information at my disposal it appears to be setting about its work whole-heartedly without any ulterior motive. Private supplies of opium are confiscated, and smokers are punished irrespective of their position. The cultivation of the poppy is rigorously...\n\nPage 573  \nB 2",

In travelling through the Shan States I found evidences of strong feeling against the authorities at Tengyueh, mainly caused by the energies of the taotai and salt commissioner in forcing native salt upon them. Two of the sawbwas are in prison in Tengyueh for obstruction to their salt measures, and the taotai and Mr. Peng are evidently making a good financial return for themselves out of their patriotic salt campaign. There has been a great recrudescence of opium growing too in the Shan hills this year, and I travelled through miles of poppy crops in country which was lying fallow last year, and which has been reported \"clean.\"\n\n25.

S. Addis to Foreign Office.-(Received July 7.)\n\nHong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation,\n\nDear Sir Francis,\n\n31, Lombard Street, London, July 6, 1911.\n\nI enclose copy of a memorandum by Hillier and Cordes on the present situation at Peking, which will, I think, be of interest to you.\n\nYours truly,\n**C. S. ADDIS.**\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum by Messrs. Hillier and Cordes.**\n\nThe dominant personality in the Peking Government at the present moment is Sheng Kungpao. Circumstances in which the four international groups have played a leading part, have forced him into a position of power and responsibility which he himself could have little foreseen; and the ability and courage with which he has risen to the occasion have earned for him the unreserved confidence and support of the Duke Tsai-Tsê.\n\nThese two men now form a combination representing the progressive policy of the country, into which Sheng brings an unrivalled business experience and a wide knowledge of foreign affairs, qualities naturally lacking in the Duke. The Duke, on the other hand, contributes all the weight of his Imperial birth, coupled with a reputation for personal integrity and a natural caution of character, which may be regarded as furnishing a wholesome counterpoise to any lack of these qualities in Sheng. In addition, the Duke may, in fact, be regarded as the President designate of the Cabinet in succession to Prince Ching, whose resignation, owing to old age and other causes, is merely a question of months, and will probably be announced before the coming session of the National Assembly in September next.\n\nThis combination, as fortuitous as it is well timed, has been largely the outcome of the recent negotiations of the four international groups. Its foundation was laid in those for the currency loan, which the diplomacy of Sheng steered to a successful issue between the rocks of Chinese suspicion and prejudice. These negotiations were drawing to a conclusion when the pressure of the four Powers concerned forced the Chinese Government to face the question of the Hukuang railways, a question so full of entanglements, so fraught with danger, to any official who might have the temerity to touch it, that every president of the Yuch'uan Pu previous to Sheng had successfully avoided doing so. It was not indeed without serious misgivings that Sheng addressed himself to the task of extricating his Government from the situation into which its helpless acquiescence in provincial demands had brought it, and which threatened its domestic peace and stability no less than its external credit; but he did so with a statesmanship and courage which have had their proper reward. With characteristic business directness he at once swept away the political fictions by which the question had become hide-bound and obscured, and he both claimed and obtained complete independence of action in coming to terms with the bankers.\n\nThe terms of the agreement arrived at removed every further pretext for delay on the part of the Chinese Government, and Sheng was then placed in a position to press his Government to assert its authority over the obstructive provincial factions. By the decrees which followed under the inspiration of Sheng, the Government is now publicly and irrevocably committed to a policy of railway construction, and the dam which had so long blocked progress has been finally broken down. Apart from the weighty character imparted to it by the language of the decrees, the new policy may indeed be regarded in the light of a pledge to the four countries who have been so closely associated with the circumstances of its inauguration; and here it may be...\n\n`[2103 g-2]`",

Both in Hongkong and Canton, he has been regarded as one of the chief leaders of the gangs of robbers that have been looting in the Tung Kun District during the last 12 months. His headquarters are in Lacao, where he has a share in a Fan Tan Shop and manages its finances.\n\nOne of the prisoners in Hongkong Gaol, who was of the party that looted the pawnshops at Yau To Market, stated that the robbers were Ng Pei Tai's men and that he was the leader. The Hongkong Police have information that this man is the leader of the robbers in the Tung Kun District. He and **Luk Mui** assisted in organising the Fu Ching Tung kang Yui. In 1912, a warrant was issued for his arrest, but he absconded. On 10th July, 1912, at the head of a gang of 200 robbers, he attacked the Fook Ching Pawnshop at Cheng Tong Hui. They made a clean sweep of the place. On 17th July, 1912, he and his band committed robberies at To Kau village. The gang is supplied with automatic pistols and bombs.\n\n**Luk Mui**.

The Lu Chun were moved outside the city and the mutinous artillery replaced by the formation of two new ying, one from the Bannermen and one from Lung's own force, 300 Chi Chun and 120 Yunnanese.\n\nHaving secured as far as possible his military position, Lung Tutu's next step was to turn out of office such of the Kuo Min Tang officials as had not fled on hearing of his impending arrival: and the thoroughness with which he completed his task may be gauged from the list of present officials given in a later section of this report. Lung himself at one time belonged to the Kuo Min Tang, having been introduced thereto by the late Ch'en Ching-hua at a time when it was dangerous not to profess adherence to that body. His real sympathies, however, were always monarchical. Ch'en Ching-hua, whatever his political creed may have been, was a cost-efficient Commissioner of Police but he fell under suspicion of treason and by the President's instructions was arrested and summarily shot under circumstances which have laid the Tutu open to much criticism. The other Commissioners, foreign-educated young men of ultra-radical tendencies, including the heads of the departments of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, Industry, and Education, have all been superseded and their departure is a distinct gain to the province. No official of Kuo Min Tang tendencies remains in office today and the principal senior posts are held by men who have served in one capacity or another under the Empire. The Kuo Min Tang headquarters on the New Bund are deserted and Lung has established for the first time in Canton an officially recognised branch of the Chin Pu Tang.\n\nAmong other evidences of his desire to dissociate his government from the aims of the late regime may be noticed the new Tutu's encouragement, at the instance no doubt of Peking, of the cult of Confucius. The instructions recently issued to magistrates to see to it that the doctrines of Confucianism were regularly expounded in every rural district are prompted not by any prejudice against the Christian religion as such, but by political motives which demand an antidote to the revolutionary ideas prevalent.",

The leaders of the gang Leung Young, Kwok Teat and Tan Igan all lived at Macao, while a man named Ko Kau resident in Hongkong used to visit Macao to attend meetings of the leaders there. Leung Young who was wounded in the attack on the \"Tai On\" and is now in custody in Hongkong awaiting extradition to China.\n\nIt can be proved that many of the arms of the pirates were kept at Leung Teung's house at No.15, Bui Tai Wai, Macao, and that the arms used on board the S.S. \"Shing Tai\" and the S.S. \"Tai On\" were sent over from Macao to Hongkong and conveyed upon those vessels by accomplices on board of them.\n\nIt is also in evidence that the spoils of the piracy of the S.S. \"Shing Tai\" and of other steamers were taken to Macao to be there divided. Moreover, all the pirates who were not members of the crew of the \"Shing Tai\" and the \"Tai On\" came ever from Macao and embarked on those vessels in Hongkong.\n\nIt is the fact also that the members of the gang were in the habit of spending the proceeds of their crimes in the gambling houses in Macao, and I regret to have to add that there is little doubt that huge money was given by the members of the gang to Leung Vai, a Portuguese Solicitor's Clerk in Macao, and to Chinese detectives Lau Hong Sin and Tan Ngan Chi (which is a nick name) of the Macao Police.\n\nI am informed on good authority that after the arrest at Macao of the nine pirates concerned in the recent attack on the S.S. \"Tai On\", about eighty bad characters fled from Macao. I am also informed from various sources that a Chinese named Wang King Fun of Ho Lan Un in Macao advances funds to pirates to enable them to carry out their designs.\n\nPage 188",

I happened to mention to him \"Is not it dangerous to have so many bad characters constantly visiting your house\". He said \"there is no fear, Loling Wah, the solicitor, is my clansman, I gave him $100 in bank notes the other day\". He said that he had given him the money through Yeung Ip, principal tenant of 6, Pan Chong Miu ground floor and Tan Ngan Chi.\n\nAbout the same time I was in Leung Young's company in a brothel when he told me that Tam Ngau had paid $600 to Lau Hong Sin and other Chinese members of the Macao Police Force through Tan Ngan Chi (Detective) out of the proceeds of the \"Shing Tai\" piracy. Leung Young said that Hong Sin had asked Tam Ngau to hand him some hundred of dollars, this was after the \"Shing Tai\" piracy.\n\nDuring the hatching of the \"Tai On\" piracy I met Tan Ngan Chi in the street at Macao and he remarked \"You people are better be careful when doing these things\". He also said that Ko Kau and himself put the S.S. \"Kwong Chau Fan\" through.\n\nTan Ngan Chi was present at two meetings held at 15 Sui Tai Wai during the hatching of the \"Tai On\" piracy. Ko Yau was also present on one of the occasions.\n\nWhen I was locked at the Police Station, Macao, on the 14th May, 1914, Lau Fong Sin was very angry with me. He asked me if I had implicated him in the affairs. He pointed his finger at me and said \"You have done very well\". When on board the steam launch he threatened my mother with gaol and said that she had disowned me.\n\nI have to state that 15 Sui Tai Wai, 14 Sam Pa Tsai, 56 Shui Ki Fa Yuen and 6 Pan Cheng Miu are pirates' haunts, since the end of March, 1914.\n\n22nd May, 1914",

        "content_text": "# \n1 was being grown in a secluded spot 20 miles north of Lung Shan; but Mr. Vosknil was confident that, if such were indeed the case, it was not being grown with the connivance of the opium inspector, of whom he spoke very highly. I was unable to ascertain the exact locality of the field, native converts being often unwilling to afford information likely in any way to bring upon themselves the hostility of the villagers.\n\nFrom native sources at Lam Ching I learned that young poppy had been freely uprooted in December, the owner of one field being fined 800 dollars. A reward of 100 dollars was, however, offered for information of any poppy still growing instead of the usual percentage of the fine imposed. On the whole, the autumn sowing had not been excessive. Here, as elsewhere, all sorts of rumours with regard to the inspection of the province were current, the country people firmly believing that if any opium were discovered, both the grower and the district magistrate would be shot and a fine of several hundred thousand dollars demanded by the British Government.\n\n## \nTowards Changchow, the soil is extremely rich; the rice grown in the Changchow prefecture is said to be the finest in China, whilst this district also supplies a large proportion of the fruit produce of South Fukien. On reaching the city, I called on Mr. Hutchinson, of the English Presbyterian Mission, who said he believed there was poppy in only one spot in the whole of his missionary district, extending north as far as Lung Nia and east almost to Tong An. His knowledge came from a friend of a Christian native doctor, but the information was given to him under promise not to disclose the locality, the informer being unwilling for some reason to involve the Lung Ch'i magistrate in trouble. According to Mr. Hutchinson, the latter was well aware of the existence of the field, which contained about 1,000 heads of poppy.\n\nThe anti-opium campaign in the Lung Ch'i district appears to have been accompanied by many abuses, of which Mr. Hutchinson gave me several instances. On one occasion, a gambler having been observed by underlings of the opium inspector to have won 80 dollars at play, three or four pellets of opium were furtively placed in his pocket, and he was subsequently taxed with being a smoker. On denying the charge, he was searched and forced to hand over his 80 dollars as hush-money. In another case, a heavy bribe had been exacted by the inspector from a wealthy shopkeeper on whose premises two pipes were found, these having been placed in a back room by the inspector's men whilst the proprietor's attention was engaged by confederates. There seems good ground for crediting these stories, since Mr. Chan Pai Kong himself informed me that the inspector had been discovered placing poppy plants in the fields of innocent persons with a view to extorting squeezes, and that he had offered his office for sale for 2,000 dollars. These reports also I had previously heard from other sources. Mr. Chan's secretary told me that the inspector, and also the former Chao An inspector, who had been guilty of similar malpractices, would be sent to Foochow and probably executed. The Opium Administration has been further discredited by these abuses, from the fact that in some districts, private persons posing as official inspectors have been imitating their illegalities.\n\nMr. Hutchinson was of the opinion that the Lung Ch'i magistrate was also a party to these frauds, and stated that the extortions of the opium officials were infinitely worse than the exactions of the Manchu régime, and that native prepared opium was plentiful at Changchow, the authorities having perfect cognisance of its whereabouts, and exacting a heavy duty on all sold or kept for sale. As the spring crop was gathered without interference, there are probably considerable accumulated stocks in hand, whilst there is no doubt that poppy seed, which is said to retain its efficacy for four years, is being carefully hoarded up against any future slackening of suppressive measures.\n\nThe poppy has, however, by fair means or otherwise, been completely eradicated from the district; I myself passed through Thih Tng, where the plant was being freely sown in the autumn, and saw none, whilst Mr. Hutchinson had recently visited Lim Tun Hi, where a powerful clan, taking advantage of a strong strategical position, had resisted the soldiers for some time with success, and found all the opium uprooted. This clan, which had been strong enough to refuse payment of land tax for 150 years, capitulated in December. In other parts, the villagers had mostly submitted to the inevitable on the first approach of the troops.\n\nAt Changt'ai, from all accounts, the magistrate, Mr. Sou Gee Chen, a brother of the metropolitan delegate, appears to have cleared his district thoroughly. I passed through the chief former opium-growing region, and found it now almost entirely under barley.\n\nFrom Changt'ai, I took a by-road through Be Iun and Pho Tan to Koan Khan, where no traces of a former large poppy-field were now visible. The aspect of the country here changes, the hills of the west giving way to a broad plain, across which a clear view of several miles is obtained on all sides. Between Koan Khau and Ch'uan Chow lies the largest poppy-producing district of Fukien, the yield of former years in the Tong An district, according to semi-official Chinese estimates, being 50 per cent. of that of the whole province.\n\n## \nThe zone of greatest activity lies immediately south of Tong An itself, particularly in the neighbourhood of Mahang. For this reason, Tong An has been allotted six and Mahang three opium inspectors instead of the usual one, whilst the latter's officer in charge, a gentleman of picturesque proportions in keeping with his strong attitude as a local administrator, has further been raised to the dignity of a \"chih shih,\" or magistrate.\n\nMissionaries at Tong An reported that in the immediate vicinity of the city, little or no poppy had been sown in the previous autumn, but farther afield, especially to the south, the soldiers had had a busy time clearing the country in January. They believed the whole district to be at present quite free. A lady who had made the opium movement a keen study informed me that, according to rough observations made by her, 50 per cent. of the cultivable land within a few miles' radius of the city was under poppy in 1912, but during frequent journeys this year, mostly off the main routes, she had not seen a single plant. Another lady, who had just returned from a visit to the Ankhoe district, had also seen no poppy growing. The country north of that city is mountainous and produces very little poppy, the plant when fully grown being only 8 or 10 inches high, and yielding little juice.\n\nAs the main road from Tong An to Ch'uan Chow was reported to be then free from poppy by a foreigner who made the journey in December last, I decided to strike across country from Ma Hang, dipping down south to Khoe Tang, on the sea border opposite to the large island of Kim Mng, and thence making Ch'uan Chow via An Hai and Chioh Sai. Between Tong An and Ma Hang, the country was literally a blaze of poppy last spring, but not a vestige was now to be seen. The magistrate at Ma Hang, which has long been notorious for its connection with the opium industry, informed me that little poppy had been sown in the autumn, attributing the fact to the people's intelligence in appreciating the arguments of his proclamations, but it is probable that his treatment of offenders, which consists, in the first place, in burning their houses, confiscating their lands, and fining them heavily, and, in the second place, in beheading them if they receive these correctives with ill grace, and the presence of several companies of northern troops in the district, have been more potent deterrents to growers. It is, however, remarkable that the abandonment of an industry which, according to the magistrate's estimate, was worth 2,000,000 dollars per annum to the people of Ma Hang alone should have provoked so little resistance, and it is probable that this district will require careful watching in the future.\n\nThe inspection in this part of the country has been carried out with great thoroughness. Large barley fields, whose extent of area might have concealed a few stalks, and patches of sugar cane have been carefully examined by the inspectors, whilst suspicious houses have been entered, even a few heads of poppy growing in earthenware pots in courtyards or on the house roofs being a sufficient source of profit to induce villagers to run the risks of detection. Here, as in most parts of South Fukien, barley appears to have largely taken the place of the poppy.\n\nBetween An Hai and Ch'uan Chow, an agreement was entered into last spring between the officials and the people, by which the latter were permitted to harvest the crop on giving an undertaking that no sowing should be made in the following season. This contract seems to have been faithfully carried out by both parties, for I heard of none having been planted in the autumn, whilst Ch'uan Chow missionaries informed me that in the course of up-country journeys at the new year, they had seen no sign of poppy. In the adjoining district of Lam An, however, where no such compromise was made, resistance to the authorities necessitated military measures, the plant being forcibly uprooted in December. From Chuan Chow, I made a day's excursion to Lam An and the neighbourhood without finding any trace of opium.\n\nOn arriving at Hui An, I found that the Anti-Opium Commissioner of Amoy, Mr. Ding Neng Guang, was then in the district scouring the country for poppy. In common with magistrates of other districts in the province, Mr. Shih Wei Ch'ung, the Hui An magistrate, when called upon for his report, had notified the Foochow head office that his district was free from the plant.\n\nThis appears to have been a deliberate misrepresentation of fact, since the district opium inspector had sent in to him at the end of last year a list of places (all in the Tau Pak region, north of Hui An), where he had found poppy still growing.\n\nPage 541",

        "content_text": "## 4. Cost of Office\nAs the Survey Office forms part of the Public Works Department and is accommodated in the same building, the charges for numerous items such as lighting, heating, electric fans, etc., cannot be stated. Omitting these, the following is a statement of the cost:---\n\n| Item | Cost |\n| --- | --- |\n| Salaries | 67,215.44 |\n| Conveyance Allowance | 5,443.97 |\n| Wages for coolies | 6,078.65 |\n| Mounting Plans | 173.80 |\n| Drawing Materials | 680.79 |\n| Land Survey Contingencies | ... |\n| Transport & Travelling Expenses | 609.85 |\n| Survey of Colony | 3,164.95 |\n| Incidental Expenses | 244.97 |\n| Surveying Instruments | ... |\n| Furniture | 4.50 |\n| New Territories Village Survey (on contract) | 1,877.00 |\n| Total | 85,493.92 |\n\n## 5. Trigonometrical Survey\nThis work has been extended eastwards from Stanley to Wong Ma Kok, Loo Chau Island. D'Aguilar, Waglan, Tung Loong Island, High Junk Peak, and Hai Wan, 5 new stations have been erected and 6 Military Bench Marks utilized; altogether 14 stations were erected. The work was extended by series of interlacing polygons and closed with an angular error of 3\" on to the original work with excellent results, good weather being experienced the whole time and the area enclosed being about 32 square miles.\n\n## 6. Topographical and Cadastral Surveys\nAbout 123 miles of traverses have been run during the year and traverse stations permanently marked on the ground. The same trouble occurred as formerly with regard to stations either being lost or removed, necessitating extra work. Steps are now being taken to eliminate this mischief by a system of more permanent marks at intervals in the more important traverses.\n\nThe Ordnance Survey of the Colony has been steadily pushed forward, 55 acres in Central District, 17 acres in Western District and 2 acres in Eastern District being completed and plotted.\n\nAn area of about 55 acres was surveyed and plotted in the Peak District to a scale of 50'=1\", which completes the survey. Steps are now being taken to reduce this to 200'=1\" and the new map should be ready for printing in about six or eight months.\n\nSurveys of Shaukiwan District, containing about 42 acres, and Aberdeen Village, containing about 27 acres, were completed.\n\nThe cost for this item is not available, this being a Departmental General Account.\n\n-7-\n\nThe Survey of Kowloon (50'=1\") is completed and is being revised as development progresses. This survey has been reduced to 200' 1\" and inked in, but, as it is desirable that a portion of New Kowloon including Kowloon City and Shamshuipo (where large developments are now taking place) should be included in the new map, it will probably not be ready for reproduction for another six months.\n\nA survey was made of Signal Hill and surrounding lots, containing an area of about 10 acres, to define War Department boundaries. Surveys were also made of 9 lots of land in Hongkong and Kowloon covering an area of 152,673 square feet, which were put up to public auction and realised $30,565 in premium and $996 in Crown Rent.\n\nOne surveyor was stationed permanently in the New Territories during the year and a temporary surveyor was employed on contract during a considerable portion of the year to continue the surveys of villages in the New Territories.\n\nThe following villages in the New Territories, containing 5,875 houses, were surveyed and plotted during the year, viz.: Yeung Kong Wai, Sun Hang Wai, Shek Kong Tsun, Tung Tau, Lung Uk Tsun, Shek Kong Wai, Ki Hang Tsun, Ha Tsun, Sheung Cheung Wai, Ping Shan Tsai, Ping Shan, Tong Fong, Shan Cheung, Hiong Yuen, Shui Tau, Wing Hung Wai, Shui Tan, San Tsui, Tam Shui Hang, Kong Ha, Wai Tsai, San Tsun, Tong To Tsun, U Shek Kok, Lek Mei, Im Tso Ha, Shek Kiu Tau, Ho Wo Hang, Au Ha, Nam Chung Cheng, Nga Iu Tau, Ma Tseuk Ling, Tai Long, Tui Hang, Sheung Wo Hang, Leuk Kong, Sheuk Pan Tau, Kui Kuk Shui, Ho Lek Pai, Nam Hang Mei, Lo Tung Tsui, Mau Uk Pin, Ma Mi Hang, Hok Tau, Tam Chuk Hang, Hok Tau Pui, Leng Pei, San Wai, San Uk Tsai, Ma Mi Ha, Leng Tsai, Kwai Tsu Ling, San Tong Po, San Shui Hang, Kau Po, Tam Chuk Hang, San Uk Tsai, Hok Tau Pui, Kau Tau, Hok Tau, Ha Heung Un Tsun, Tsung Un Ha Tsun, Heung Un, Chuk Un Tsun, Li Uk Tsun, Feung Wong U, San Uk Ling, Nga Tu Ha, Ping Yen, Wa Kang Shan, and Kau Tau Wai.\n\nIn addition to the Villages enumerated, numerous minor surveys required by the District Officer, North, were prepared. Surveys were also made of the light railway from Au Ha to Sha Tau Kok, of the main road from Taipo to Fanling, of about 150 acres of orchards at Fanling, and of Taipo Market, the European Reservation, etc.\n\n## 7. Maps published\nThe revised 2\" map of Hongkong and New Territories arrived from England during the year. No new maps were published.\n\n## 8. Miscellaneous Matters\nThe following maps and plans were prepared for official use during the year:- 182 lease plans (in triplicate), 11 sale plans (in duplicate), 496 tracings, and 2,028 sunprints in connection with proposed sales, permits, etc., whilst 1,015 permits for temporary occupation of Crown Land and 66 licences for temporary piers and slipways were issued.\n\nSee Plan (4). \nSee Plan (2). \nSee Plan (1). \nSee Plan (3) \n401",

Consulate-General, Canton, November 20th, 1916.**\n\nI have the honour to report that General Lung reached the island of Hainan a few days ago. He declined a passage by a Government vessel, embarking at Hongkong on board a merchant steamer.\n\nThe number of troops which he was officially permitted to take with him was fixed at 8,000, but on the pretext that, were his soldiers to be disbanded locally, collisions might occur between them and the later arrivals, he is understood to have a considerably larger force at his disposal. Arrangements for transport were made by Admiral Sa, who also despatched a small cruiser to patrol off the Leichou peninsula with a view to intercepting the illicit importation of arms.\n\nThe latter officer has been occupied in the ungrateful task of composing differences between the various rulers, self-appointed and others, of this province, and is anxious to depart.\n\nChu Ch'ing-lam, the Civil Governor, is a clever, energetic man with ambitions, which constantly find themselves thwarted by his colleague Lu Jung-t'ing, the Tuchun. It is also rumoured that the ex-Civil Governor Chang Wing-ch'1 is intriguing to recover his old post, and another candidate therefore is Ch'en Chiung-ming, a Cantonese, at one time Tutu. General Lu is a decrepit and ignorant individual, enjoying a high reputation and commanding a numerous following, on what grounds it would appear impossible to determine. One redeeming feature of his regime is the strict control which he exercises over his subordinate officers. The difficulty which they experience in endeavouring...",

        "content_text": "## HONGKONG UNIVERSITY, FIRST DEGREES CONFERRED. SPEECHES BY CHANCELLOR AND VICE-CHANCELLOR.\n\nSOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1916.\n\nMUNIFICENT GIFT FROM MR. HO FOOK.\n\nYesterday marked the first ceremony of conferring degrees in the Hongkong University, which was opened on March 15, 1912, by H. E. Sir Frederick J. D. Lugard, then Governor of Hongkong.\n\nThe proceedings opened by the singing of the University Anthem, the words of which were composed by Mr Cecil Clementi, and the music by Mr Danman Fuller.\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor explained that degrees had been conferred in China for many ages, probably more than in Europe but so far as he knew there had never been in China anything in the way of a degree conferring ceremony. It was a long standing custom in English Universities and it was done to give some formal recognition that a student had attained the honours of his college.\n\nThe University was incorporated under Ordinance in March, 1911. The scheme was first mooted in 1905 but remained still a scheme until in 1910 the foundation stone was laid. In 1907 the late Sir H. N. Mody made an offer to erect the necessary buildings at a cost of $150,000 and to give $30,000 towards an endowment fund.\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor said that the sum of $100,000 was fixed upon as the minimum, and its collection was practically assured by the magnificent donation of $40,000 by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire and allied Firms.\n\n| Faculty | Degree | Recipient |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Medicine | M.B., B.S. | Chak Chiu Hang, 1914; Chan Ju Choo; Chau Wai Cheung, 1916; Lim Soon Kian, 1916; Teh Lean Swee; Tech Cheng Toe; Wong Hing Chuen, 1916 |\n| Engineering | B.Sc.(Eng.) | Chan Kang Yue; Chau Siu Ki; Ho Wing Kin; Lam Tung; Leung Nai Hang; Li King Hong; Li Tsok Lan; Ling Man Lai; Tang Ying Lam; Teh Wing Lok; Wine Han, 1916; Wong Tai Cho, 1916 |\n| Arts | B.A. | 11 graduates in 1915; 41 graduates in 1916 |\n\nThe following gentlemen were then presented to H. E. the Chancellor by Sir Charles, who explained the particular services for which the recipients were receiving honorary degrees:\n\n* M. Finot, Director of the French Institution in Hanoi\n* Sir Robert Ho Tung\n* Captain Pelliot\n* Dr. Jeme Tien-yow\n* Dr. Wu Lien Teh\n\nH. E. the Chancellor then declared the Congregation closed.\n\nPage 450\nPage 451",

Subsequently, when the National Assembly met in due form, and the Government was completely formed, it was recognised in succession by the friendly Powers; for this the people of China are most grateful.\n\nUnfortunately the present President, Yuan Shih-kai, in plotting against the republic, and creating for himself an Imperial position, has thwarted the will of the progressive party throughout China, and been a traitor to the movement of the world's civilisation. He has broken his inauguration oath and neglected the advice of friendly powers.\n\nHaving respect for the Constitution and desiring to maintain the republic, we have raised an army in the cause of right, in order to punish the traitor. It is hoped that friendly Powers, with whom we are on terms of intimacy, will one and all observe a benevolent neutrality towards us, thereby creating a mutual friendship which will endure for ever.\n\nWe avail, &c.\n\n1. All treaties with foreign countries entered into by the Manchu Government, and by the Republican Government, previous to the raising of the monarchical question, will remain in force. Responsibility for indemnity payments and loans is recognised as before.\n2. We assume responsibility for the vigorous protection of the lives and property of all foreigners residing within the limits to which our authority extends.\n3. The republic will not recognise any treaties, conventions or loans, entered into by Yuan Shih-kai and his Government with foreign countries since the raising of the monarchical question.\n4. If any country assists the Yuan Government with material which is contraband in time of war, such material without exception be confiscated on discovery.\n5. We will offer resistance in the event of officials and people of any country assisting the Yuan Government to our detriment.\n\n**TANG CHI-YAO.

Returned to Swatow by launch, accompanied by the Taoyin. To return by road was impossible, owing to the swollen state of the rivers and streams.\n\nEnclosure 11 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Toller to Mr. Alston.\n\n(No. 16.) Sir,\n\nNingpo, June 4, 1917. IN continuation of my despatch No. 15 of the 19th April last, I have the honour to report that on the 23rd April I met, at Nanking, Mr. Yü Shou-chang, the deputy appointed by the Governor of Kiangsu for the inspection of the province, and on the following day Messrs. Chao Hang-nien and Mou Chia-yo, the delegates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior respectively. The Governor of Chekiang had also appointed a deputy, Mr. Chang Chin, the headmaster of the Middle School here, who accompanied me from Ningpo. This appointment was probably made because the Governors of Kiangsu and of Chekiang are brothers, and with the idea that Mr. Chang, whom I already knew well, might serve as a mediator between the Kiangsu delegate and myself in case of any difficulty or dispute, but I am glad to say no occasion for his services in this connection ever arose.\n\nFrom Mr. Giles I learned that the former opium-producing regions were in the country north of the Yang-taze, generally known as Kiangpei, and that the only territory in which there was any likelihood of poppy being found was the Hau-Hai Circuit. Mr. Ottewill had kindly furnished me with a copy of his despatch No. 20 of the 25th March last, and this together with the information which he gave me in Chinkiang from reports made in 1915, also indicated the northern part of the province as the area to be investigated. I accordingly arranged with the Chinese deputies to start our tour from Hsüchowfu, for which place we left by train on the 26th April, arriving at midnight the same day.\n\nThe following day was spent in making preparations for the lengthy chair-journey, and on the 28th April we proceeded to Hsiao Hsien. In this district we also made a circuit through the hilly country to the south of the town towards the Anhui border, striking across the ranges of hills that radiate from the town so as to examine the sheltered valleys, which were the most likely haunts of the poppy. I also climbed the highest point in the group, in order to get a wide view over the surrounding country.\n\nFrom Hsiao Hsien we went to Tang-shan Hsien, covering the distance of 150 li in a day, keeping near the Honan border—in fact, for a short distance our road took us through Honan territory. Tang-shan was, in the past, one of the most noted opium-producing areas in Kiangsu; it lies on the borders of three provinces, so appeared to be a district where, perhaps, the repressive measures might be less effective than elsewhere. We accordingly made an excursion into the surrounding country, visiting the fortified village of Hsieh Chi, on the border of Kiangsu, Shantung, and Honan, and returning by a different route.\n\nOur journey was then continued to Feng Hsien and P'ei Hsien. Between Feng Hsien and P'ei Hsien we did not take the direct road, but made a detour to the south in order to get from Hun Shan, one of the very rare hills in this locality, an opportunity of surveying a wide area. From P'ei Hsien back to Hsüchowfu we also made a detour to the east with the object of examining the country bordering on the Wei-shan Lake.\n\nThe second stage of our journey took us from Hsüchowfu to Haichow, through Pi Hsien. From Pi Hsien to Haichow we travelled by a small road close to the Shantung border for the greater part of the way. This led us through the districts of Sutsien and Shuyang, including the country north-east of Yao-wan, where it was reported, in 1915, that a good deal of poppy had been planted. We did not visit the towns of Sutsien and Shuyang, as I was anxious to keep away from the main roads as far as possible.\n\nThe information received from the members of the American Presbyterian Mission at Haichow, who travel a great deal through the country on motor-bicycles, indicated that Kan-yü, to the north of Haichow, was not formerly an opium-producing district, and that there was little object in visiting that magistracy. As Kan-yü is, so to speak, a cul-de-sac, and a journey through the territory would have taken three or four days,\n\n29\n\nafter which we should have had to return to Haichow, I thought it better not to waste time on a visit there while there were important areas further south still to be inspected, so from Haichow we proceeded to Kuan-yün, which has been a hsien only since the revolution, and was formerly known as Pan-p'u. Here it was reported, in 1915, that \"very large quantity\" of poppy had been planted; we therefore, in addition to traversing the district from north to south, made excursions both to the east and west of the town, returning in each case by a fresh route.\n\nLien-shui (better known under its old name of Autung) and Fowning were the next places visited. These were indicated in Mr. Ottewill's despatch of the 26th March as districts to be regarded with suspicion. I made careful enquiries of the representative of the China Inland Mission at Lienshui, who travels a great deal in the country by bicycle, but he stated that he had neither seen nor heard of any opium cultivation. In Fowning we made a circuit of the country to the north-east of the town, in the direction of the old bed of the Yellow River.\n\nThe remainder of the journey was made by boat through Yen-ch'eng, Tung-t'ai, T'ai Hsien, and Yangchow to Chinkiang. I deferred any decision as to the necessity of inspecting the country south of the Yang-taze until I had had an opportunity of consulting Mr. Ottewill; he confirmed the information I had received in Nanking that this area was not an opium-producing region, and that no good purpose would be served by a journey through it, so I informed the Chinese delegates that I regarded our investigation as finished.\n\nThe total distance covered on the tour of inspection was about 800 miles, of which we travelled upwards of 500 miles by chair and over 250 miles by boat. During the chair journey I walked the greater part of the way, and seized every opportunity of ascending any elevation that might serve as a vantage ground for observation. The country which we traversed by boat was of less importance from an opium-producing point of view, though the Chinkiang archives showed that some poppy was grown in the Huai-an prefecture in 1914 and 1915. Here, too, I walked wherever practicable, but throughout the whole journey, as I had the honour to report in my telegram No. 3 of the 30th ultimo, I could not discover the slightest indication of poppy cultivation. It is, of course, impossible for one man in a limited time to make an exhaustive investigation; to do this it would probably be necessary to devote a week to each hsien—but in view of the facts that we made frequent and wide detours from the road; that for a considerable portion of the way we travelled by unfrequented tracks; and that in several magistracies we spent one or more extra days making circular excursions into the surrounding country, I feel justified in saying that if poppies were being grown we should have been bound to come across them at some point, and that, as none was seen or heard of, it is safe to deduce that none has been grown this year, unless, perhaps, on a very small scale in the most secluded spots, though I have no evidence to support even this exception.\n\nThe repressive measures adopted by the provincial authorities appear to have been very strict and to have been energetically enforced; the prohibition extended even to the cultivation of poppies for decorative purposes in flower gardens. Governor Ch'i informed me that he had sent out deputies to each hsien three times: first, at the time when the poppy seed would be sown; again, at the time when the plant would first be visible; and, finally, when it would be in flower. General Chang Hsun also told me through Hsüchow and Haichow his troops had assisted in the search for, and prohibition of, poppy growing. Mr. Yü Shou-chang, the Kiangsu delegate, said that he had himself earlier in the year made a preliminary examination of the districts which he regarded as most open to suspicion. Anti-opium proclamations were posted everywhere, and in some places (notably Pei Hsien) I noticed painted on the walls of houses the character ch'a (“examined\"), purporting to show that a house-to-house search had been effected.\n\nOne matter worthy of mention is the widespread scattering of black seeds, said to be those of \"foreign poppy.\" The practice prevailed over a wide area; reports of it first came to my notice in Sutsien and Shuyang, after which they were heard in every district we passed through, including Shanghai. An astonishing variety of rumours was in circulation; the work was ascribed to the Shanghai opium combine, to the missionaries, to Germans, and to secret societies. It was also said that the seed was sown from an aeroplane, evidence of which was found in the fact that the seeds had been discovered on the roofs of houses. Miraculous properties were claimed for this \"foreign poppy,\" which was said to produce its crop within ten days of sowing the seed. A missionary at Lienshui was able to show me a specimen of the seed, which bears not the slightest resemblance to that of poppy; it is approximately the size and shape of a ...\n\n[2729 k-1]",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nof money whatsoever in addition to the rent. Anyone who does so is liable to a fine of $1,000.\n\nClause 17 provides that any rent not payable under the Ordinance which has been paid by mistake can be recovered from the landlord and stopped out of the next rent payable.\n\nI beg, Sir, to move the second reading. **THE COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded.\n\n**THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL** formally moved, and **THE COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, that certain interested persons who desired to be heard by Counsel should be so heard.\n\nThe motion was agreed to.\n\nThe possible into the market and buy private land in preference to Government land. They will rather pay more and be sure they get the land they ask for than take months and months of trouble, resulting in the land being purchased by someone else. This is one of the causes, and perhaps the main cause, of the situation which has brought this Bill about. The second cause is the fact that the military authorities own large sections of land in the centre of the town which they do not require and which they do not put to use. That has caused a congestion which is inevitable and led to the law of supply and demand of private property soaring to great heights. And the third and more temporary cause is the general trade slump which started about a year ago. After the war, there was a trade boom and money was locked up in trade, but the trade slump has caused money which would otherwise be invested in commercial enterprises being devoted to the purchase of shares, or the acquisition of landed property, with the result that both shares and land in this Colony have recently boomed. The money was legitimately invested and invested on the faith that the investors would get an adequate return for the money invested. Properties have changed hands in the last few months, not only on the basis of the rents then paid but on the basis of the return the landlord expected to get for his money, the law allowing him to increase his rents, and that is why a Bill such as this, which destroys the sanctity of contract, and which is retrospective, will destroy that very confidence on which all trade and all investment is based. So far from leading to further building, it will make further building in this Colony almost impossible, for once the Government sanctions the principle of retrospective legislation, there is no limit to the amount of retrospective legislation which may be subsequently introduced, and one will not know what return he may get upon his money.\n\nClause 3 of the Bill states that \"notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, whether made before or after the commencement of this Ordinance, and whether oral or in writing, no rent shall be recoverable\" except the standard rent and that rent was fixed as the rent of last December. One of the results of this will be that persons who have, with the assistance of the law, evicted the tenants of last year by offering to pay a higher rent to take their place will now be protected and permitted to pay only the rent that was paid by the people that they themselves dispossessed.\n\n**MR. C. G. ALABASTER** said—May it please your Excellency and members of the Council, I am instructed by 31 proprietors of domestic tenements in Hong Kong, who represent between them many millions of dollars of invested money, to present their petition, copies of which are, I think, in the hands of all the members of this honourable Council, and to represent their views on this matter. I do so at the risk of being described, as I have already been described in a petition in anticipation, as a \"counsellor of evil\"; for it is a principle of that British justice, which is represented by the law and is to be found in those institutions, such as this, where the law is made, that all sides are entitled to a hearing and all sides are entitled to be represented by spokesmen.\n\nNow this Bill is opposed by those I represent, and many more who have not had time to prepare or sign petitions, because it is a bad Bill. It is a Bill which, as is confessed in the memorandum of Objects and Reasons, was prepared in a hurry, which does not carry out the suggestions on which the Committee appointed was instructed to act, and which attempts to meet a situation which is not a sudden emergency but which is the result of a number of contributing causes which have operated during the last 10 or 15 years and which this Bill does nothing to remove—in fact, which this Bill does much to accentuate.\n\nThe chief of these causes has been the policy of the Land Sales Department of this Colony. The harassing restrictions which are placed in the way of every applicant for land, in whatever part of the Colony he may be, has forced people who are desirous to build to go as far as possible into the market and buy private land in preference to Government land.\n\n|          | \n|----------| \n| 10       | \n\nI think the greatest possible objection to this Bill is the clause which fixes the 31st December last year as the date at which the standard rent should be fixed. If it is necessary to fix a standard rent, surely the rent of the 30th June would be a better one, for at that date it was known that the Government contemplated such a Bill and subsequent purchases of property, if any, have been made on that understanding.\n\nWith your Excellency's permission, I will read the petition and make comments as I go.\n\n## TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR REGINALD EDWARD STUBBS, K.C.M.G.,\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same and to the Several Honourable Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong,\n\nThe Humble Petition of Li Wai Po, Chung Ting Chiu, Wong Sing Fai, Tang Hung, Tsui Kin Kwok, Tung Wai, Leung Hing Ip, Chiu Wai, Leung Wai Nam, Leung Shiu Kap, Fung Im, Chin Wong Shi, Sz To Shun Cho, Cheng Yuen, Leung Ying Chi, Pan Cheong Lam, Chan Hoi Lam, Ho Cheuk Ting, Leung Sai Chun, Yu Wai, Chan Wing Sing, Yuen Sam, Lau Kut Choi, Luk Choi Ting, Tam Chai Yat, Pun Cheung Shi, Young Ho, Wong Ping Ting, Chan Ka Ming, Chan Ka On, and Chau Shing Lee, all of Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, Property Owners.\n\nSheweth :-\n\n1. That your petitioners are proprietors of domestic tenements in Hongkong and desire to point out to Your Excellency and Honourable Members of the Legislative Council certain objections to the proposed Ordinance to amend the law relating to the recovery of possession in certain cases and to restrict the rents of certain domestic tenements and to amend the Rating Ordinance, (hereinafter called \"the Bill\").\n\n2. Your petitioners verily believe that their views as expressed in this petition are shared by a large majority of the owners of domestic tenements in Hong Kong.\n\n3. That your petitioners view with alarm the principle of the whole Bill as unduly interfering with the law of supply and demand and as tending to prevent the free development of the Colony. That notwithstanding the exceptions contained in the Bill newly erected property your petitioners do not believe this will lead to the erection of any considerable number of domestic tenements seeing that there is no guarantee contained in the Bill that a similar Bill will not be passed in the near future bringing such newly erected property within its provisions. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly beg to submit that a provision be added to the Bill providing that all buildings now in course of erection or hereafter to be erected shall be excluded from the provisions of this or any Bill to the like effect for a period of at least 15 years.\n\n4. Your petitioners also humbly beg to submit that this Bill if passed will cause a serious fall in the value of domestic tenements and that a considerable loss will fall on those persons who have recently purchased property on the basis of the rentals now prevailing in the Colony.\n\n5. Your petitioners further humbly submit that the Ordinance should not be made retrospective but that the standard rent should be the rent payable on the coming into force of the Bill which should not be a date earlier than the date upon which the Ordinance receives the assent of His Excellency the Governor for the following reasons:-\n\n(a) That purchasers of property since the 31st day of December, 1920, have purchased the same on the basis of the rentals payable at the time of purchase and on the basis of the rents which your petitioners knew the tenants were willing to pay in respect of the properties occupied by them.\n\n(b) That mortgagees have lent money on such properties the amount of loan being based upon the value of the property calculated on the rents receivable at the time of the mortgage and on the saleable value of similar property in the open market which value was based not only upon the rentals then paid but on the demand for domestic tenements in Hongkong.",

The ages are as follows:-\n\n| Age Range | Number of Girls | Number of Boys |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 11 to 12 | 21 | 15 |\n| 12 to 14 | 39 | 50 |\n| 14 to 16 | 75 | J |\n\n**TUNG A KNITTING FACTORY, G/F, SHANGHAI STREET, MONG KOK Tse Wan.**\n\n**KO CHUNG TONG: MANAGER.**\n\nWe employ 220 persons: About 35 males, 190 women, and 12 girls, all over 12 years, make up that total. We employ no boys. They work from 6.30-12 and 1-6. We do night work four or five times a week. We sometimes work on Sundays. The women and children are paid by the piece. Women get about 40 cents a day. It would not affect our work if we had no children: they come with their mothers and beg for work. We pay half overtime for night work to persons paid by the day. I think 80% would like to work on Sunday. About 50 would like to do night work. No one is forced to do night work.\n\n**LEE MAN HING KWOK, SAI KUNG STREET, YAU MA TEI, Knitting Factory for Hosiery.**\n\n**SIC YAM WING: Assistant Manager.**\n\nWe employ about 300 persons—51 men, 280 women, and 27 children, of whom none are under 13 years of age. They work from 6-12 and 1-7. There is no Sunday work and no night work. The girls make cardboard boxes, do knitting, and other light work. All hands work the same hours. We pay by the piece and by the day. The pay is from 15 cents per day upwards. The children get from 15 cents to 30 cents a day. The children are brought by the mothers. It would not affect us if there were no children working.\n\nThe children work from 6.45 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and 12 noon to 6.15 p.m., and on night work from 6.45 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. They have every other Sunday off. Children and adults work the same hours. Girls do light work. Girls earn about 40 cents a day if over 16, and under 16 about 20 cents.\n\nThere is no night work on Wednesday or Sunday, or from 4th to 7th moon. Wages are paid twice monthly. Children are paid direct. Women have their midday meals in the factory.\n\n**SAN SHING LUNG GINGER Factory, 255 Reclamation Street, Mongkok.**\n\n**LI SHAI WING: Manager.**\n\nWe employ 32 men and 60 women. We have no girls under 18 or 19 years of age. The hours are from 6-12 and 1-6. There is very seldom any night work, except at Christmas and such times, when they work from 7-11 p.m. The pay of a woman is about $5.40 a month without food, and a man from $6 to $10 a month besides his food.\n\n**Evidence taken at Meeting on 4th May, 1921.**\n\n**CHAN KWOK WAI, YEUNG OR THE CHINESE FOREIGN KNITTING FACTORY AT 484, Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei.**\n\n**CHEUNG TAI MING: Secretary.**\n\nWe employ about two hundred hands with about half a dozen children. They come with their mothers and do odd jobs. They are paid by the job and work six days a week. They work for eleven and a half hours a day. There is no night work or work on Sunday. Our work would not be hindered if we did not employ children.\n\n**CHAN PAK PANG, Kowloon Dock, Sub-contractor for Shipbuilding.**\n\nI employ from 100 to 300 men, depending on the amount of work. I employ from 50 to 60 women coolies. I employ boys for chipping; sometimes I employ from 40 to 50 boys, the youngest of whom are about eleven years, and the rest eleven years and upwards. They work from 7-12 and 1-5, and the wages are from 30 to 40 cents a day. Double overtime is paid for night work and Sunday work. The night shift lasts for 12 hours and wages are paid at double rates. Boys are also employed at painting, carpentering, boiler-making, and as copper-smiths. There are 33 under 16 and 147 over 16 working as copper-smiths. I have no apprentices.",

        "content_text": "# Report on a Journey of Investigation into the Cultivation of the Opium Poppy in South Fukien, jointly with Officials appointed by the Chinese Government, by Mr. Turner.\n\nThe delegates selected by the Central and Provincial Governments respectively were Mr. Sou Gee Chuang, an official of the Board of the Interior, and Mr. Chan I'ai Kong, Taotai of Foochow and President of the Anti-Opium Bureau of Fukien. Mr. E. Cheers, of the Straits Settlement Police Service, acted as interpreter in the Amoy dialect, which is current in all the districts visited except Hing Hua, Sien Yu, and Hok Ching, south of Foochow.\n\nA rough map is attached showing the route taken, which embraced all the former principal poppy-growing centres of South Fukien. The distance covered was approximately 1,600 li, or 530 English miles, the journey occupying twenty-five days - from the 23rd February to the 19th March. In all, seventeen districts were examined out of a total of thirty-two comprised in the lower portion of the province.\n\nIn the first district visited, that of Hai Teng, the vigorous measures taken in the autumn by the local authorities checked extensive sowing, though a certain amount was discovered by the opium inspector in January and uprooted. In the spring of 1913, Captain Connelly, of the Hong Kong garrison, whilst on a shooting expedition, found large areas under poppy cultivation in the vicinity of Chhe Nia and the authorities taking no apparent action, but a local convert of Kang Boe, a neighbouring village, informed me that this region is now quite free. From reports of native pastors, I also learned that no poppy now existed in the broad belt of coast land south of Amoy and Hai Teng. (I have since heard from a missionary that he travelled through the whole of this country at the beginning of March without finding a trace of poppy.)\n\nForeigners who had recently made the journey from Changpu to Amoy having reported that the main route via O Sai had been cleared of poppy, I chose the northern road from Hai Teng, which branches off due west at T'eh Chui Ying, turning south again at Koan Jim through the Tng Kio and Kio Lai. As far as could be judged, this part of the country was now almost entirely given up to rice cultivation, the Nan Ch'i River and its tributaries affording an abundant water supply. Between Tng Kio, where we were met by a military officer in charge of 700 soldiers sent to uproot the poppy, and Changpu several fields where opium had been pulled up were passed, these being readily distinguished from the fact that, having been confiscated, they were now overgrown with weeds. Last spring, this region was one of the chief poppy-growing centres of the district. As far as I could gather, the soldiers arrived in December, meeting with no little resistance before the plant was eventually all destroyed.\n\nThe Changpu authorities appear to have counterbalanced their indifference of last spring, when there was extended cultivation throughout the district, by extreme severity in the autumn. Mr. Watson, of the English Presbyterian Mission at Changpu, told me that he was prepared to state positively that not a plant remained in the whole country between Changpu and Hai Teng, with the possible exception of a small patch hidden in a secluded valley near Toa Pu, of which he had heard many vague rumours. Mr. Watson's opinions were based partly on the declarations of the native pastors of his district at a recent conference at O Sai, and partly on personal observation during his periodical visits to native mission stations.\n\nFrom Changpu to Yunsiao, the road lies for some 8 or 9 miles over a broad, sandy, barren plain up to a range of hills some 1,200 feet high, crossed by a low pass, with a fertile valley producing rice, sugar-cane, barley, and beans on the other side. From Pan To Hsu to Tunsiao, the country is too hilly to suit the poppy, which requires the rich soil of the plains and a sheltered situation to thrive to perfection, and the task of the local authorities has accordingly been comparatively light. I learned that the district opium inspector had conducted a very strict examination in October and November last, whilst the magistrate himself informed me that of the thirty days he had been in office, twenty had been spent in scouring the country for any heads that might have eluded the observation of the inspector and his staff. Native reports confirmed the magistrate's assurance that no poppy was now left in the district.\n\nAt Chao An, I called on Father David de Miguel of the Roman Catholic Mission, who informed me that it was possible that a small quantity of poppy might still remain in the second tu or division of the magistracy, though the magistrate had a few weeks previously, on hearing of the tour of inspection, made a journey in person through this region and had a thorough uprooting. He was unable to say for certain if all had been removed, but assured me that the rest of the district was free, the people having been thoroughly scared by the arrival of the northern soldiers. The present magistrate, Mr. Chang Tseng Pa, has held office for six months. His predecessor took no steps to put a stop to the cultivation of the poppy, for which and for general maladministration he was eventually arrested and sent to Foochow for trial. Mr. Chang, on the other hand, has the reputation of being a very keen suppressionist and an able official; at the beginning of his campaign, he was placed in a difficulty by the opposition of the gentry, of whom a few leading members were financially interested in the cultivation of the drug, and were supporting the farmers in resisting the authorities. Mr. Chang promptly arrested two of the most influential, and has since had the support of the remainder. He told me that barley and tobacco were largely replacing the former opium crops. This applies in fact to the whole of the country west of Changchow, the large areas under tobacco, the leaf of which is, however, of an inferior quality, being particularly noticeable.\n\nThe country between Chao An and Ping Ho, on the borders of Kuangtung province, is little frequented by foreigners, and no reports had been received regarding the opium measures in force there. Consequently, although this part of the province has never had the reputation of being a large opium-producing centre, I was anxious to discover whether as clean a sweep had been made as in those districts nearer to the control of the high provincial authorities. Practically the whole of the 60 miles between Chao An and Ping Ho is mountainous, but the hill slopes are mostly under terrace cultivation and the valleys rich with a vast variety of native crops, rice, barley, sugar-cane, and sweet potatoes being the staple products.\n\nAfter leaving Chao An, we passed through the second tu of the district, where I had been informed there was a possibility of finding poppy, but I discovered neither traces of it nor signs of recently disturbed fields. This is probably explained by the fact that in practice, confiscated land is frequently sold back to the village or clan to which it belonged, the penalty for growing the forbidden plant being thus a double fine.\n\nAs regards the Ping Ho district, little pressure was required to induce the farmers to abandon cultivation, and it had not been found necessary to call for troops. At Sio Khe, a local missionary informed me that suppression measures had been most severe, and that, so far as the strict enquiries he had made went, the district was quite free from poppy. A native pastor had, however, informed him that a small patch was being grown in a secluded spot 20 miles north of Lung Shan; but Mr. Vosknil was confident that, if such were indeed the case, it was not being grown with the connivance of the opium inspector, of whom he spoke very highly. I was unable to ascertain the exact locality of the field.\n\nFrom native sources at Lam Ching, I learned that young poppy had been freely uprooted in December, the owner of one field being fined 800 dollars. On the whole, however, the autumn sowing had not been excessive. A reward of 100 dollars was being offered for information of any poppy still growing instead of the usual percentage of the fine imposed. Here, as elsewhere, all sorts of rumours with regard to the inspection of the province were current, the country people firmly believing that if any opium were discovered, both the grower and the district magistrate would be shot and a fine of several hundred thousand dollars demanded by the British Government.\n\nAt Changt'ai, from all accounts, the magistrate, Mr. Sou Gee Chen, a brother of the metropolitan delegate, appears to have cleared his district thoroughly. I passed through the chief former opium-growing region, and found it now almost entirely under barley.\n\nFrom Changt'ai, I took a by-road through Be Iun and Pho Tan to Koan Khau, where no traces of a former large poppy-field were now visible. The aspect of the country here changes, the hills of the west giving way to a broad plain, across which a clear view of several miles is obtained on all sides. Between Koan Khau and Ch'uan Chow lies the largest poppy-producing district of Fukien, the yield of former years in the Tong An district, according to semi-official Chinese estimates, being 50 per cent of that of the whole province.\n\nThe zone of greatest activity lies immediately south of Teng An itself, particularly in the neighbourhood of Mahang. For this reason, Teng An has been...\n\nPage 27\n\n... \n\nPage 503",

        "content_text": "## Enclosure in No. 29\n### Vice-Consul Smith to Mr. Alston\n\nSwatow, April 18, 1917.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that, in accordance with your instructions, I left Swatow on the 19th ultimo, in company with the Chinese delegates, on a journey of investigation into the cultivation of the opium poppy in Kwantung, and returned to Swatow yesterday. All preparations for the journey had been completed several days beforehand in Swatow, but no start was possible until after the arrival of the delegates from Canton. The time at our disposal for the journey was only about a month, as the poppy harvest is practically over by the middle of April.\n\nThe Chinese officials who accompanied me were: Mr. Lam Hi Chow, the chief secretary to the Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, who was the representative of the Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, the principal Chinese delegate; Mr. Kum Yung Fan, the secretary to, and delegate of the Opium Suppression Bureau, Canton; and two interpreters, Mr. Hoang Tsou Yn, English and French interpreter to the Civil Governor, Canton; and Mr. Lau Wai Chi, English interpreter to the Chao Hsün Taoyin.\n\nThe principal districts in which the opium poppy was previously grown are Chieh Yang, Pu Ning, Feng Shun, Ch'ao Yang, Ch'ao An and Jao Ping, the two latter in a much less degree, but nowhere have I been able to discover a single plant. The information received at this consulate from Chinese and missionary sources was to the effect that very little, if any, poppy had been planted in the autumn of 1916 in the Ch'ao Yang, Chao An and Jao Ping districts, in the east of Chieh Yang, the east and south of P'u Ning, and the north and east of Feng Shun, and that what little had been planted had been uprooted as soon as the shoots appeared, none being left growing at the end of the year. This claim appears to me to be fully established by the fact that all the fields I passed through in these districts were in full cultivation with winter crops, such as wheat, hemp, sugar-cane, &c., the sowing period of which coincides with, or is earlier than, that of the poppy, and the cultivation of the opium poppy would, therefore, appear to have been completely eradicated from these districts.\n\nWith regard to the western half of Chieh Yang and the adjoining portions of P'u Ning and Feng Shun, all reports agree that much poppy was planted in the autumn of 1916, and that, owing to the supineness and carelessness of the magistrates, who were simply place-seekers who had bought their appointments from the local revolutionary Government, and also owing to the unruly character of the Hakka inhabitants of the country, a great deal of the poppy was permitted to come to maturity, and the scraping of the capsules had commenced. Early in 1917, however, energetic magistrates were appointed from Canton, who personally conducted the uprooting of the poppy plants throughout their districts so energetically that, by the middle of February, practically not a single plant was left. The amount of opium collected as part of the first scraping only is said to have been but a very small percentage of the expected main crop, none of which was harvested, while no seed can have been saved for the next autumn's planting.\n\nThese districts I investigated very thoroughly, visiting all places where missionary reports stated that opium poppy had been seen growing, but was unable to discover a single plant. The winter crop in these districts is mainly wheat, for which, during the past seven or eight years, opium has been largely substituted; and though wheat was much in evidence, numerous bare, uncultivated plots of land showed where the poppy had been pulled up too late to permit of any other crops being sown during the winter.\n\nThe Ch'ao Hsün Taoyin, Mr. Wang Siao Cho, though unable, on account of his official duties in Swatow, to accompany the party throughout, visited us at Ch'ao Yang, Chieh Yang, P'u Ning and Ch'ao An district cities, and at Ung Kung, in Jaoping district, to satisfy himself that all arrangements for the journey and for our convenience were being satisfactorily carried out. As a suitable chair was not otherwise procurable, the Taoyin placed his own private chair and bearers at my disposal for the whole journey.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nS. WYATT SMITH.\n\n## Enclosure 10 in No. 29\n### Acting-Consul Toller to Mr. Alston\n\nNingpo, June 4, 1917.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that on the 23rd April I met, at Nanking, Mr. Yu Shou-chang, the deputy appointed by the Governor of Kiangsu for the inspection of the province, and on the following day Messrs. Chau Hang-nien and Mou Chia-yo, the delegates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior respectively. The Governor of Chekiang had also appointed a deputy, Mr. Chang Chin, the headmaster of the Middle School here, who accompanied me from Ningpo. This appointment was probably made because the Governors of Kiangsu and of Chekiang are brothers, and with the idea that Mr. Chang, whom I already knew well, might serve as a mediator between the Kiangsu delegate and myself in case of any difficulty or dispute, but I am glad to say no occasion for his services in this connection ever arose.\n\nFrom Mr. Giles I learned that the former opium-producing regions were in the country north of the Yang-tsze, generally known as Kiangpei, and that the only territory in which there was any likelihood of poppy being found was the Hsü-Hai circuit. Mr. Ottewill had kindly furnished me with a copy of his despatch of the 25th March last, and this together with the information which he gave me in Chinkiang from reports made in 1915, also indicated the northern part of the province as the area to be investigated. I accordingly arranged with the Chinese deputies to start our tour from Hsüchowfu, for which place we left by train on the 26th April, arriving at midnight the same day.\n\nThe following day was spent in making preparations for the lengthy chair-journey, and on the 28th April we proceeded to Hsiao Hsien. In this district we also made a circuit through the hilly country to the south of the town towards the Anhui border, striking across the ranges of hills that radiate from the town so as to examine the sheltered valleys, which were the most likely haunts of the poppy. I also climbed the highest point in the group, in order to get a wide view over the surrounding country.\n\nFrom Hsiao Hsien we went to Tang-shan Hsien, covering the distance of 150 li in a day, keeping near the Honan border—indeed, for a short distance our road took us through Honan territory. Tang-shan was, in the past, one of the most noted opium-producing areas in Kiangsu; it lies on the borders of three provinces, so appeared to be a district where, perhaps, the repressive measures might be less effective than elsewhere. We accordingly made an excursion into the surrounding country, visiting the fortified village of Hsieh Chi, on the border of Kiangsu, Shantung and Honan, and returning by a different route.\n\nOur journey was then continued to Feng Hsien and Pei Hsien. Between Feng Hsien and P'ei Hsien we did not take the direct road, but made a detour to the south in order to get from Hun Shan, one of the very rare hills in this locality, an opportunity of surveying a wide area. From Pei Hsien back to Hsüchowfu we also made a detour to the east with the object of examining the country bordering on the Wei-shan Lake.\n\nThe second stage of our journey took us from Hsüchowfu to Haichow, through Pi Hsien. From Pi Hsien to Haichow we travelled by a small road close to the Shantung border for the greater part of the way. This led us through the districts of Sutsien and Shuyang, including the country north-east of Yao-wan, where it was reported, in 1915, that a good deal of poppy had been planted. We did not visit the towns of Sutsien and Shuyang, as I was anxious to keep away from the main roads as far as possible.\n\nThe information received from the members of the American Presbyterian Mission at Haichow, who travel a great deal through the country on motor-bicycles, indicated that Kan-yü, to the north of Haichow, was not formerly an opium-producing district, and that there was little object in visiting that magistracy. As Kan-yu is, so to speak, a cul-de-sac, and a journey through the territory would have taken three or four days, after which we should have had to return to Haichow, I thought it better not to waste time on a visit there while there were important areas further south still to be inspected, so from Haichow we proceeded to Kuan-yin, which has been a hsien only since the revolution, and was formerly known as Pan-p'u. Here it was reported, in 1915, that a very large quantity of poppy had been planted, we therefore, in addition to traversing the district from north to south, ...",

The Kwangtung Government will permit the syndicate to bore, examine and survey all such ground as the syndicate may be advised, or have reason to believe, contains coal within the following districts (abutting over or adjacent to the Canton-Hankow Railway and the Canton-Kowloon Railway), viz., Nam Hoi, Pun U, Tang Koon, Po On, Sam Sui, Fa Yuen, Ying Tak, Ching Yuen, Yeng Shan, Liu Yuen Kuk Kong, Lok Cheong, Yue Yuen, Yan Fa, Chee Hing, Nam Hung, Fat Kong, Yung Yuen, Ko Ming, Tsang Shing, Taung Fa, &c., and the Government will not after the date of the signing of the agreement grant permits to any other persons, firm or company to bore, examine, survey and mine in any of the districts above mentioned until the period set forth in clause 13 hereof shall have lapsed.\n\n2. The Kwangtung Government shall cause this agreement to be provisionally signed and chopped, whereupon the syndicate shall take all such steps as may be necessary to obtain the official sanction and approval thereto of the Central Government of China at Peking, and upon such sanction and approval being obtained, the Kwangtung Government shall ratify this agreement, and immediately thereupon the syndicate shall deposit with the Kwangtung Government the sum of 100,000 dollars Hong Kong currency.\n\n3. Within a period of nine months from the ratification aforesaid of this agreement the syndicate shall, in the event of the said boring, examination and survey of the ground in the districts aforesaid appearing to the syndicate to justify the syndicate so doing, float a company to be called \"The Kwangtung Collieries (Limited),\" with a nominal capital of 10,000,000 dollars for the purpose of working coal mines in the said districts and of dealing with the coal thereby secured, and shall transfer to such company all rights and benefits and liabilities of the syndicate under this agreement.\n\n4. In the event of no such company being floated by the syndicate within the said period of nine months, the Kwangtung Government shall be entitled to retain the said sum of 100,000 dollars, and this agreement shall thereupon determine. But in the event of such company being floated, a further sum of 900,000 dollars (making with the said sum of 100,000 dollars a sum of altogether 1,000,000 dollars) shall be deposited within the said period of nine months by that company with the Kwangtung Government as security for the due carrying out by the company of its objects, as set out in the memorandum and articles of association.\n\n5. The said sum of 1,000,000 dollars, when so deposited in pursuance of clause 4 hereof, shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which interest the company shall be entitled to deduct from the dividends payable to the Kwangtung Government or its nominees in pursuance of the provisions of clause 8 hereof. There shall be further deducted from its dividends so payable to the Kwangtung Government or its nominees 4 per cent. per annum on the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars for the purpose of forming an amortisation or sinking fund, which shall be exchanged in sums of not less than 10,000 dollars for the \"B\" shares referred to in clause 8 hereof, until the whole of the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars shall be so received by the company. If no dividend is payable, the Kwangtung Government will not receive any interest on the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars. If the dividend payable is not sufficient to pay the interest of the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars, the Kwangtung Government will not make up the deficit. The deduction from the dividend for forming the amortisation or sinking fund is similarly calculated. If the company goes into liquidation the deposited money shall be retained by the Kwangtung Government and this agreement will determine.\n\n6. The said capital of 10,000,000 dollars (fixed as the nominal capital of the company to be floated as aforesaid) shall be divided into 1,000,000 shares of 10 dollars each, half of which shall be classed as \"B\" shares, and shall be considered as fully paid-up shares and be allotted by the directors of the company, who are of Chinese nationality, in such manner as they may decide (subject to the provisions of clause 8 hereof).\n\n7. The articles of association of the said company to be floated as aforesaid shall provide that, out of the profits of the company there shall be first paid all working expenses, a royalty not exceeding 1 dollar per ton of all coal extracted and dealt with, all reasonable expenses to staff, sums properly payable to the Kwangtung Government, and interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum on the capital represented by the \"A\" shares to the holders thereof; and the remainder of the said profits as shall be declared available for dividend shall be paid by way of dividend to holders of \"A\" and \"B\" shares equally.\n\n8. Upon the incorporation of the company to be floated as aforesaid, the company shall make the following allotment of shares, namely:-\n\n| Clause | Allotment Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 1,000,000 dollars which shall be held by the company in trust for the Kwangtung Government, the dividends on which shall inter alia form the amortisation or sinking fund referred to in clause 5 hereof. As and when sums of not less than 10,000 dollars are available in the said amortisation or sinking fund, the said fully-paid \"B\" shares to an equivalent value shall be transferred to the Kwangtung Government. |\n| (b) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 500,000 dollars to trustees to be nominated by the Kwangtung Government for the benefit of the poor people in the province of Kwangtung. |\n| (c) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 500,000 dollars to trustees to be nominated by the Kwangtung Government for educational purposes in the province of Kwangtung. |\n\nIn consideration of the said allotments as aforesaid, the Government will cause to be executed all such documents as may be necessary for the purpose of definitely granting to such company the right, for a period of ninety years from the date of such incorporation, to bore, dig, extract, transport, export and sell, or otherwise utilise, all or any portion of the coal extracted from all or any of the areas mentioned in clause 13 hereof, except the areas conceded to other companies and worked on a commercial basis as provided in clause 18 hereof.\n\n9. The company shall pay to the Kwangtung Government only such duties as are for the time being imposed upon the Kailan Mining Administration.\n\n10. At the expiration of the said period of ninety years the same may be extended or continued upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon between the Government and the company so to be incorporated aforesaid.\n\n11. From the date of the ratification of this agreement and during the said period of ninety years and extended period (if any), the Kwangtung Government shall use its best endeavours to protect the persons employed by the said company, and their rights of property, and the rights of property of the said company, in the mines, machinery, buildings, plant and any other goods, effects or property to which the said persons and the said company may be entitled for the time being.\n\n12. The articles of association of the company to be floated as aforesaid shall further contain provisions to the following effect :-\n\n| Clause | Provision Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | That the board of directors of such company shall consist of seven persons, three of whom shall be elected by the holders of \"A\" shares, and shall be of European nationality, and three of whom shall be elected by the holders of \"B\" shares, and shall be of Chinese nationality. The remaining director shall be of British nationality, and shall be elected by the other six directors. |\n| (2) | That the staff of the said company shall consist of a European manager and of such European engineers or supervisors as may be deemed necessary by the company, and shall also consist of two secretaries, one of whom shall be of British or other European nationality, and the other of Chinese nationality. |\n| (3) | That the unskilled labourers shall all be of Chinese nationality, and so far as possible be natives of the districts in which they are employed. |\n| (4) | That the existing laws and regulations of China with regard to mining shall be followed. |\n\n13. Immediately upon payment of the said sum of 100,000 dollars referred to in clause 2 hereof, the company shall have the right to demarcate within a period... \n\nPage 768",

The number of Chinese business men in Victoria and Kowloon offering themselves as sureties to Government Departments and reported on by this office was 1,176 as against 1,410 in 1919.\n\n31. Two non-resident householders were required to enter into a bond; as against one in 1919. 89 certified extracts from the Registers were issued as against 48 in 1919. One duplicate Householder's Certificate was issued as against two in 1919; while 24 Householders' Removal Certificates were issued as against 18 in 1910.\n\n(i)-DISTRICT WATCHMEN. (Table VI.)\n\n32. The District Watchmen Committee met on 12 occasions the average attendance being 12. The loyal advice and assistance of this important Committee (which deals with every kind of question affecting the Chinese Community) continues to be of the greatest value to the Government.\n\nSir Boshan Wei Yuk was appointed adviser (Ko Man).\n\n33. Messrs Tong Lai-chan and Chau Siu-ki's terms of 5 years expired and they were reappointed by His Excellency the Governor for a further period of 5 years.\n\nThe two vacancies caused by the resignation of Mr. Chan Lok-chun and the death of Mr. Chan Kai-ming were filled by the appointment of Messrs. Fung Ping-shan and Tse Yam-chi.\n\nDuring 1920 the two members selected from the retiring Committees of the Tung Wah Hospital and the Po Leung Kuk, who hold their appointments for one year, were Messrs. To Sz-tun and Wong Ju-tung, vice Messrs. Fung Ping-shan and Choy Hing whose terms had expired.\n\n34. The balance to the credit of the District Watchmen Fund at the end of the year was $28,875 as compared with $34,208 on January 1st, the expenditure thus exceeding the income by $5,333. $28,000 of the balance is invested in Hongkong 8% War Loan, and the remainder $875 deposited in the Colonial Treasury.\n\n35.

Police Sub-Inspector Murphy was in charge of the District Watchmen detective staff. His work has had the effect of inspiring the men to greater energy, and of fostering co-operation with the Regular detectives; and its value is only in part reflected in the very marked increase in convictions secured during the year.\n\n9 -\n\n(ii)-PERMITS.\n\n38. Seven hundred and thirty-one (731) permits to fire crackers were issued as against 691 in 1919 and of these 537 were on the occasion of marriage.\n\n39.

        "content_text": "— 40 —\n\nAnnexe A.\n\nReport on the work of the Po Leung Kuk for the year 1920.\n\nThe Po Leung Kuk Society was founded in 1878 to aid in the detection and suppression of kidnapping, especially of girls and women, and to shelter such girls or women as had been kidnapped in the interior and brought to Hongkong for sale or emigration. Its name means \"institution for the protection of good women.\" The initiative in its formation came from the Chinese themselves, and ever since, by subscription and personal service, they have continued to support it.\n\nThere is a paid Chinese staff—matron, amahs and nurses, and two clerks who are secretaries to the managing Committee. This Committee meets every evening from Monday to Friday at 7 p.m.; the principal meeting of the week is held at 12 noon on Sunday. It not only manages the Po Leung Kuk, but acts as an advisory Committee to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs in all cases affecting women and children, and Chinese family life generally, which are often extremely difficult and tedious. It corresponds when necessary with charitable institutions and private persons in various parts of China, traces parents of lost children or ill-treated muitsais, and shelters for the night any Chinese woman or girl who chooses to go. When parents or relations cannot be traced, the Committee arranges for the girls in its care to be given in marriage (never as concubines) or in adoption, always under bond and always with the consent of this office; and in every case this office ascertains the girl's willingness before giving consent to either adoption or marriage.\n\nIn addition to the annual Committee appointment by co-option, there is a Permanent Committee, which serves to maintain continuity of policy, and of which the Secretary for Chinese Affairs is the ex-officio chairman.\n\nThe buildings and their inmates are visited every month by two unofficial Justices of the Peace, one English and one Chinese.\n\nThe following gentlemen were elected in March to serve as Managing Committee for the year :--\n\nKwok Siu-lau,\n\nTam Pak-shiu,\n\nChang Tin-san,\n\nLeung Shu-tong,\n\nLeung Tin-kwai,\n\nSham Chak-chiu,\n\nWong Kwong-tin,\n\nMa Wing-chan,\n\nTae Ka-po,\n\nLam Hon-ping\n\nTwelve is the usual number of gentlemen on this Committee, but Mr. Wong Kwok-sun resigned after being elected and the vacancy was not filled.\n\n— 41 —\n\nThe number of inmates of the Po Leung Kuk on January 1st, 1920, was 62 and during the year 343 persons were admitted as against 476 in 1919. The circumstances of the admission and the action taken in regard to them are set out in Table A.\n\n85 women and girls were committed under warrant and 174 were admitted without warrant. Of the remainder 33 were lost children, 8 were accompanied by parents or guardians, and 43 were runaway maid-servants or \"muitsai.\"\n\nOn leaving the Kuk 126 women and girls were restored to husbands or other relatives, 36 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 23 were given in adoption, 10 married, and 18 released under bond, 9 sent to the Italian Convent. The number of inmates remaining in the Kuk on December 31st was 17.\n\nThe income and expenditure during the year and the assets and liabilities of the institution are set out in Tables B and C attached.\n\nThe accounts of the Managing Committee in the customary form have been audited by Messrs. Sham Chak-chiu and Wong Kwong-tin. The balance to the credit of the Society at the end of the year was $23,987 as compared with $23,305 at the end of 1919.\n\nMr. A. Mackenzie resigned the post of Visiting Justice of the Peace to the Po Leung Kuk and his place was taken up by Mr. A. G. Coppin.\n\nThe institution was visited monthly by Justices of Peace, Messrs. A. Mackenzie, A. G. Coppin, and Chau Siu-ki, who on no occasion found cause for adverse comment. The average monthly number of inmates was 52.\n\nThe matron reports favourably on the conduct, health, and industry of the inmates during the year. There were 80 cases of sickness of which 13 were sent to the Tung Wah Hospital for treatment, and of these 1 died.\n\n14th June, 1921.\n\nS. B. C. Ross, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, President.\n\n212",

Though her principal\n\nobject will be to protect the stranded British ships \"Shantung\"\n\nand \"Tingshing\", her wireless installation will be extremely\n\nuseful in maintaining uninterrupted telegraphic communication\n\nwith Hongkong.\n\nAs news comes in from the surrounding districts, the\n\nmagnitude of the disaster becomes more apparent. The loss\n\nof life has been very great. Goa Bua (#), Ching Hai (###), Nam Io (###), Teng Ling (###), and other\n\nplaces in the delta and in the vicinity of the sea, suffered\n\nterribly. Over 10,000 people are said to have perished in\n\nGoa Bua, and some 7,000 in Nam Io. Eight members of the Magistrate's family were amongst the thousands of drowned at\n\nChinghai.\n\nAn alarmist rumour was current in the city yesterday to\n\nthe effect that a band of 2,000 brigands was on its way to\n\nSwatow to loot the place. Nobody seemed to know whence they\n\nwere coming, and, as they have not yet put in an\n\nappearance,\n\nthere",

Chang Tso-lin is assisting Dr. Sun with funds. (I gathered that Er. Yeh is here for the purpose of arranging this). Chan Kwing-ming cannot move from Waichow because of the presence of Hsu at Swatow,\n\n5.\n\nMr. Liang emphasised the possibilities of a dangerous situation at Shanghai. Lu Yung-heiang, Tuchun of Cheklang, and Ho Feng-lin, Military Commander in Shanghai, with some 10,000 troops, are at loggerheads with Wu Pei-fu who is egging on the fleet at Shanghai to attack them; the fleet consisting of 3 large and 10 old small vessels. The Admiral, To Shih-kwei, is not with the fleet, and the Commanders of the ships have declared their independence. If, however, the fleet should go over to Wu Pei-fu, he would attack Shanghai and there would be serious fighting round\n\nthe city, whose supplies might be cut off. Kr. Liang insisted that the danger was a very real one, and he suggest-ed that the Consul-General should be warned.\n\n6.\n\nMr. Liang, supported by Kr. Yeh, argued strongly that the opportunity should be seized, in spite of all obstacles, to construct the loop-line. I pointed out the difficulties and, after much discussion, they said that they would explore the possibility of building it privately with capital subscribed by Chinese merchants. The Chinese Govern-ment would certainly be prepared to take it over as soon as it was a fait accompli, and in any event, with a large Central Station, it would be a paying concern.\n\n7. Mr. Liang said in conclusion that the policy adopted by this Government towards Dr. Sun had given the greatest satisfaction, both in Hongkong and in Canton.\n\nV.

With money ready to buy goods they are waiting for a ship to arrive. I have engaged the On Po junk to make regular voyages to HK carrying 20000 or 30000 per voyage. The cheapest quotation for freight is $1500 to $2000. Nobody knows, and the smuggling is very easy. I have a consignment on the way, please sell at once on arrival, as I have a succession of consignments about to arrive from various places. This year (1923) there is a far better opportunity for business than previously. Over 100000 taels have already arrived,\n\nAt the end of the 4th moon or the beginning of the 5th moon I expect 500 or 600000 taels, but there is such a tremendous demand that money must be ready on the spot in order to get the goods.

If you wake up your mind to come to Hongkong you must be sure and consult with him first. Your reputation is so good that there will be no fear about raising capital.

The price is $1.60 per tael. But so far as the Kongmoon market is concerned we may rely on you for arrangements for storing and selling. I invite you to take a share to the amount of $15,000, do you agree? Let me know and come to Hongkong at once, so that we can start early, I await you in Hongkong.\n\nLetter Pak Xong to Shan Lan.\n\nRe my letter of yesterday (9 above) every day my Yunnan friends are pressing me to go Haiphong and Tunghing. The demand of the Kongmoon market is heavy, so if you will help as much as you can, we shall be sure to make a profit. This year Yunnan goods are coming in incessantly, if we start early we shall have the best opportunities. My relations with my Yunnan friends are very good, you may be sure there will be no adulterated goods. Haiphong price is $1.60. Tunghing is $1.80.\n\nAh Kong to Shan_Lam-\n\nI wait to consult you personally before commencing. We must have a man at Kongmoon to sell the goods as soon as they arrive, If you can't manage, I must engage a sale's agent, which will be difficult. Delay will cause the goods to lose weight, and the price may drop, so the goods must be dealt with as soon as they arrive.",

The place was searched as suspicion attached to the place by reason of papers discovered in the course of searches in connection with the large gang of arms smugglers who were being watched before the cable from the Secretary of State gave the fuller information necessary before immediate action could be taken. The documents found consisted of an address book kept in English giving a number of addresses chiefly in United States of America and Canada, a contract for the supply of Chinese watchmen to the steamers of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha while in Hongkong loading for United States of America and the two balance sheets for the years 1922 and 1923 of the Sheng On opium boiling firm and a letter from the Sheng On firm. A translation of these very interesting documents is attached.\n\nThe balance sheet is addressed on the outside to Cheng Lam Ki who appears from the list of partners given in the report for 1922 to be one of the principal partners in the firm; he is possibly identical with Cheng Tung the manager of the Club occupying the premises, but Chinese use so many names it is often impossible to identify even a well-known man by the names under which he holds shares in a business. The letter of which a translation is attached is undoubtedly addressed to the same man under the name Lam Ki.\n\nNo mention is made of the name of the place where the firm carries on business, but the only place which fits the particulars given in the letter and balance sheet is Kwongphowwan. Kwongshowwan is the only place so far as I know where Chinese twenty-cent pieces are in circulation alongside...",

But when the firm has fulfilled its requirements, the other partners may forward Raw Goods on their own account.

Dates are Chinese calendar, the Chinese new year was 5th February, 1924.\n\nLetters addressed by Kwang Fat Yuen per Chan Pik Hon (sec partnership book) of Kwong Chow Van to Yuk Lun of Yuk Shing Chong i.e. Cheng Yuk Shing of the partnership book.\n\n1. Date 9/1. We object to your using the firm's money for other purposes and so making us short of funds. We believe that the chop \"Tin Shing\" is very well known in United States of America. The retailing in Shanghai is in your hands only, the price of Persian and Bengal opium is so reasonable this year that it lies with you to make three times as much profit for the firm as last year, if you will only carry out your original intentions, instead of only looking after your own private interests, and disregarding those of the firm, by using all the firm's money in private house speculations. Unless you pay more attention to the interests of your fellow partners, the firm will surely come to grief.\n\n2. Date 18/1. Ah Ping has brought news from Hongkong that you have sold some property; we hope you will be able to reimburse the firm out of the proceeds. Two days ago we sent you a telegram to say that your order is ready and requesting Yu Kwong to come to Chek Ham (Kwong Chow Tan) to take delivery. These goods were bought at a very low price. The firm is short of money at present, but I am willing to put up $10,000 myself to buy material for boiling. Please collect orders, terms to be cash or at least 70 or 80 per cent cash, in order to avoid having money locked up in goods. The Shanghai market price for \"Big Sugar\" is $330; the Hong Kong market price is $260 to $270. Chek Ham price is from $8,400 upwards. The price is tempting, but the firm has no money to buy. So please collect all outstanding accounts...",

Dr. Sun, upon learning of this, became very sad at heart. The Congress stopped for two days to mourn Lenin's death. Dr. Sun also made a speech expressing his grief in regard to the death of Lenin. In his speech at the mourning ceremony, Dr. Sun said, \"Although Lenin has died, Lenin's party is not dead and the Russian Revolution is also not dead. To-day at the 1st Kuomintang Congress, I want to hand the responsibility of the party to all of you comrades.

        "content_text": "most useful work. The problem is no- thing less than the invention of a new medium of education for several hundred million human beings, and its importance for the future of mankind cannot be exaggerated.\n\n8\n\nWorld-wide- lieve, do more to promote peace and goodwill among nations than can be effected by treaties or conventions. action on these lines would, I firmly be- ever races and philology: but as a man of the world and a persistent traveller over the earth's highways and byways, I would add that I greatly cherish the hope that some day a League of Nations will agree to teach all children of whatever race and people from youth upwards one and the same second language in addition to their native language and that this language, common to all people on earth, should be the English language.\n\nI wish to guard myself carefully against any suggestion that the remarks which I have made are intended as a disparagement of the Chinese language and literature. Nothing is further from my thoughts. I have devoted many years of my life to a study of Chinese and my study has left me with a profound admiration of Chinese literature and especially of Chinese poetry. But the Chinese language has in a very real sense \"the defect of its qualities.\" Its best quality is the concise, lucid and picturesque manner in which it portrays Chinese life and thought. Its corresponding defect is that, possibly because it forms so excellent a medium for the study of things Chinese, it is a very refractory medium for the interpretation of Western ideas. It forms indeed a sort of Forbidden City into which anything that is not Chinese can enter only in disguise, if at all. The problem for solution is how best the gates of this Forbidden City may be thrown open.\n\nNEED OF A SECOND LANGUAGE.\n\nNEW USES FOR THE UNIVERSITY.\n\nSuch a hope will not be fulfilled in our lifetime: but may I in conclusion take up a more lowly standpoint and suggest that the austere manner in which the Chinese language frowns at everything which is not Chinese perhaps accounts for the fact that so many Europeans live for years in Hongkong and in the Chinese treaty ports without making any effort to speak or to read the Chinese language? Accordingly the peculiar compradore system has come into being and we have a whole host of intermediaries between the Westerners and the Chinese. Only Government officials and missionaries, as a rule, can deal directly with the Chinese who surround them, and hence arise many regrettable misunderstandings. In this matter there seems to be room for give and take. The Chinese admittedly desire to acquire Western learning. They should, therefore, endeavour to make their language a more flexible medium for conveying Western thought. The Europeans wish to trade with the Chinese. They should, therefore, make a sincere effort to acquaint themselves with the Chinese language. If Government officials and missionaries can do so, why cannot the merchants follow suit? It would pay them handsomely and they would soon find that there is not only profit, but also pleasure, in forming friendships with Chinese gentlemen of the old school, who may perhaps not have been westernized as is the case with many of the younger generation, but who in intelligence, uprightness and good manners have nothing to learn from the West.\n\nHere again I think that the Hongkong University has before it a wide sphere of usefulness: and I propose as soon as possible to enquire how far the Faculty of Arts can assist the Hongkong Government in the higher education of our cadets in the Chinese language and generally in things Chinese and also to ascertain what arrangements can be made to afford similar facilities in the University for young English business-men, who look forward to making a career in China: because, important though it is for this University to interpret Western thoughts and aspirations to China, it is no less important that it should adequately interpret Chinese thoughts and aspirations to the West. (Applause.)\n\nI must also guard myself against the misconception that I have any desire to see a reformed Chinese language substituted for English as the medium of instruction in this University. Such an idea is so far from my mind that I would rather give it as my settled opinion that no Chinese can make a really scientific study even of his own language without first acquiring a competent knowledge of some inflexional language and that he will find no language more useful than English for such a purpose. When we look through the eye-piece of a telescope, we see the object in the field of vision, but the telescope itself disappears from view. Similarly when we use our mother tongue as an instrument for the expression of thought, we lose sight of its grammatical, syntactical and etymological peculiarities; and these peculiarities are best brought home to us when we place our native language side by side with another language, or preferably with several other languages, and study them in comparison as it were from outside.

        "content_text": "Page 408\n\nThe Kwangsi Chinese Christian Promotion Association resolved, in a general meeting held on March 23rd, to send five representatives to make a third negotiation with American Missionaries, doctors and ladies of the Baptist Mission in Wuchow. Four demands presented were as under:-\n\n1. We, the American Missionaries, Doctors and ladies, agree that the future preaching of Christianity in China and the handling of benevolent affairs will depend on nothing but the assistance of the True God and the protection of the local Government and not the privilege of the missionary treaties (i.e. treaties respecting missionaries in China).\n\n2. We, the American Missionaries, earnestly desire to assist the Chinese Government in its recovery of Customs autonomy and in the abrogation of the unfair treaties imposed by the Powers with oppression.\n\n3. We, the American Missionaries, do wish to request our Government to annul the so-called \"unfair treaties\" and to revise the treaties respecting the mutual honor and equality between both nations.\n\n4. In regard to the preaching work of the Mission, we, American Missionaries, not only desire to handle it in co-operation with Chinese disciples, but also to hand over the work to their management. For instance, the Kwai Nam Pui Ching School has been entirely handed over to the control of the Kwei Kam Joint Board, and the preaching work, mission locations, and clergymen preaching had been under the control of the \"Preaching Board\" for over a decade. A committee was organised by the Kwei Nam Joint Board to run the Stout Memorial Hospital year before last. The only institution uncontrolled by the Kwei Nam Joint Board is the Vaang To Girls School. Our Miss McMinn earnestly wishes...\n\nPage 408 (end)\n\n \n (remainder of the page is not shown in the original snippet; the above is a reconstruction based on the readable text)",

        "content_text": "FORGED NOTES.\n\nJuly 16. Before Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy yesterday, a Chinese timber merchant was charged with being in possession of three forged ten-dollar bank notes.\n\nEvidence was given of defendant's arrests with the notes in his possession when about to board the 3.8, \"Kinshan\" for Macao.\n\nMr. M. K. Lo, who appeared for the defence, said that the notes were given to the defendant by a friend in Canton. On his arrival in Hongkong defendant found that the notes were forged and decided to take them back to Canton. Mr. Lo submitted that there had been no intention of uttering the notes in Hongkong.\n\nHis Worship held there was a grave doubt in the case and discharged the defendant.\n\nCALIFORNIA COLLEGIANS.\n\nJuly 15 Brick Morse's California Collegiana, formerly the University of California Glee Club, boasts an exceedingly talented soloist in Mr. Clyde Diddle, a senior at the University and President of the organisation. He has been with the club for four years, and has made a trip to the Orient, to Alaska, through Canada, and to Europe, on each of which trips his work as bass soloist has been highly contributive to the success of the club.\n\n\"Ve Mas-\n\nDiddle, when interviewed said, \"In my opinion the programmes which we are presenting now are of the highest calibre possible. We have always presented numbers which have been good, but as we have gained experience, and guided by our friend and leader, C. R. Marae, we have reached a state now of which we can boast,\" ranging all of the way from Dvorak's \"Largo,\" from the New World Symphony, to soft shoe dancing by \"Sta\" and \"Monk\".\n\nDiddle's mellow voice can hardly be described. It is one thing that we cannot tell you all about. But one which you will still be talking about when you leave the theatre. His singing has been in popular demand around San Francisco this last year. You'll be thrilled if you hear him at the Theatre Royal on July 19 and 21.\n\nAt the Kowloon Magistracy on July 16, a Chinese was sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment for loitering about in the vicinity of the Observatory early on Wednesday morning and creating a disturbance.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\n1\n\nTHIEF CAUGHT.\n\nJuly 16,\n\n\"That was a smart piece of work,\" remarked Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy this morning when he was told that Mr. B. A. Hyder had caught a Chinese who was charged with the larceny of $20 from an old man at Des Voeux Road near the Wing On Company, yesterday forenoon.\n\nIt was stated by Inspector Spear that the defendant extracted the money from complainant's pocket and was seized by the owner. Defendant broke away by discarding the money and escaped in the direction of the Wing Lok Street wharf where he was caught.\n\nMr. Hyder's attention was drawn to the runaway by a whistle blown by the conductor of a passing tram car. He said that he ran down a side lane leading into Connaught Road anticipating that the man would come that way and got him just in time.\n\nDefendant was sent to prison with hard labour for three months.\n\nSTOLEN UMBRELLA?\n\nJuly 16.\n\nUnlawful possession of umbrella was the charge against a ricksha coolie before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy this morning.\n\nThe article was believed to have been stolen, although the owner was not found. Divisional Inspector Blackman said that defendant was seen in Tal Wong Street carrying the umbrella and was arrested on suspicion by a constable.\n\nDefendant said he paid 40 cents for the umbrella and intended making a present of it to his wife.\n\nHis Worship: I see you are a perfect husband. Three weeks hard labour.\n\nThis summer throughout Hongkong there will be ten Vacation Bible Schools conducted by local Chinese Christians, beginning July 19. More than 1,500 children are expected to attend. These Vacation Schools continue for one month. They are under the direction of Mr. Chang King-suen, of the Chinese YMCA.\n\nThe recent murder of an office boy at Connaught Road Central was again mentioned at the Central Magistracy this morning when the alleged assailant, another office boy who was caught and brought back from Macao, was brought before Mr. R. E. Lindsell. The case was fixed for hearing on Thursday next.\n\nMORE RED TAPE.\n\nFor the first time in three years as far as the \"China Mail\" is concerned the weather forecast for the first part of the week-end cannot be given owing to Government blunder, or red tape, or both.\n\nHitherto the \"China Mail\" has given the forecast on Saturdays, the same being obtained by telephone to cope with printing hours.\n\nBecause the No. 1 typhoon signal was hoisted, the Kowloon clerk-in-charge said that we must refer to the manager. The manager ultimately told us that the Government had supplied them with a list of people who may ring up the Observatory when the typhoon signal is up. The \"China Mail\" is not on that list.\n\nReaders who are in two minds as to picnics, recreation, excursions, sailings, cargo-working, business &c. will have to remain in the dark.\n\nThe reason for this withholding of vital information from the public must be made known.\n\nNo. 2998.—July 22, 1926.\n\nMOTOR ACCIDENTS.\n\nJuly 17.\n\nDivisional Inspector Peter Grant, of No. 7 Police Station, West Point, met with an accident while driving a motor cycle combination in Bonham Road shortly after noon yesterday.\n\nIn taking the turn near the Ying Wah College, the side car raised. The machine skidded and collided with a Hongkong Hotel motor bus which was just then coming round the corner.\n\nThe Inspector escaped with slight injury to his left knee, but he was able to get about this morning. Damage to the motor cycle was small, but the body of the motor bus had the paint work scraped off and the head lights were also damaged.\n\nStubbs Road Collision. Another accident occurred at Stubbs Road yesterday forenoon while Miss Stewart, of the Repulse Bay Hotel, was driving a motor car, but the occupants escaped injury.\n\nMiss Stewart's car collided with another car coming in the opposite direction and was slightly damaged.\n\nVOLUNTEER ORDERS.\n\nThe following is taken on the strength on July 12, 1926, and posted to the Reserve Company.\n\nNo. 1064 Pte.

Dr. and Mrs. Gill left for Singapore where they will establish their home. Mrs. Gill taught in the American School for one year and was a member of the church. Dr. Gill established a practice in Hongkong as a dentist.\n\nSCOUTS' WORK.\n\nNo. 6 Hongkong (Ellis Kadoorie School) Troop of Boy Scouts gathered at the School hall at Sookumpoo on Friday to welcome Sir Henry Gollan, the Chief Justice, who has shown a keen interest in the movement by presenting a challenge cup for inter-patrol competition annually.\n\nIn the awarding of the cup to the winning patrol, special attention will be paid to efficiency, attendance and conduct.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nCHINA PROVIDENT.\n\n241\n\nIn accordance with the Articles of Association the Very Rev. F. L. Robert, Messrs. H. P. White, T. G. Weall, Lee Koon-san and W. J. Hawker retire, and are eligible for re-election.\n\nA net deficit of just over two million dollars is the result of last year's working of the China Provident, Loan and Mortgage Co., Ltd., as shown by the books of the Company.\n\nSome months ago, an extraordinary meeting was convened at which a committee of six shareholders was appointed to investigate, with technical assistance, the financial position of the company, following some sensational disclosures.\n\nThe annual general meeting has been fixed for July 22, date, the report for the year ended December 31, 1925, will be presented, together with the statement of accounts.\n\nActual Profit.\n\nThe actual result of the year's working shows a profit of $46,125.57, plus $200,000 transferred back from Reserve, giving a credit balance of $246,125.57.\n\nThe party, which consisted of the following:- Hon. Mr. A. E. Wood (Director of Education), Mr. F. I. de Rome (Headmaster), the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave (Scout Commissioner), Scoutmaster T. K. S. Leung, Assistant Scoutmaster Yu, and masters of the School, adjourned with Sir Henry to the hall where the Scouts gave a display in signalling and ambulance work.\n\nMr. de Rome thanked Sir Henry Gollan for his attendance and interest in the Troop and spoke to the Scouts on the value of maintaining the efficiency of the Troop.\n\nSir Henry Gollan then addressed the gathering and presented the challenge cup. This was followed by a short speech by the Scoutmaster. The Scout Commissioner in a speech traced the history of the Troop, which was a good one, and commented on the Scout movement which was not only local but world-wide.\n\nThe various speeches were interpreted by Mr. K. S. Lam, who has just retired from the Scoutmastership of the Troop after several years' good service.\n\nCheers were then called for and the gathering dispersed after the singing of the British and Chinese national anthems.\n\nIt is notified in the Government Gazette with reference to the Vicar Apostolic Incorporation Ordinance, 1885, Ordinance No. 4 of 1885, and to Government Notification No. 118 of 1924, that the Right Reverend Henry Paschal Valtorta, Bishop of Lera, is now Vicar Apostolic of The Roman Catholic Church in this Colony.\n\nAuditors.\n\nThe accounts have been audited by Messrs. Linstead and Davis and Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming who are eligible for re-election.\n\nNotice has been lodged with the Company, by certain shareholders, that it is their intention to propose the election of Messrs. Lowe, Pingham and Matthews as auditors for the current year.\n\nAUDITORS' REPORT.\n\nThe report states:-\n\nWe beg to report to the shareholders that we have audited the foregoing balance sheet with the books, documents and vouchers of the Company.\n\nA snapshot taken at the recent motor-cycle and pony gymkhana, promoted by the Mounted Section and Armoured Car Companies of the Volunteer Defence Corps. Above are seen the Mounted Infantry taking up their positions for the tent-pegging.\n\nALLEGED ASSAULT.\n\nJuly 17. Complaints of the behaviour of certain people in the Happy Valley district which had led to disagreeable circumstances were referred to at the Central Magistracy yesterday when A. H. Hartman, of 11 Tai Wong Street, Wanchai, and H. M. Ismail, of 13 Sharp Street, were charged with assaulting two Chinese ladies.\n\nThe incidents deposed to took place on July 7 as the two Chinese ladies were walking back from the path leading to the Monument having accompanied their mother part of the way home after her visit to them at their home in Leighton Hill.\n\nThree road cyclists were alleged to have been involved in the assault which consisted of catching hold of the ladies as they passed and squeezing them.\n\nIn response to the girls' screams, it was stated, the brother of one of the ladies appeared on the scene and knocked one of the cyclists from his machine. A Chinese constable also made an appearance.\n\nThe shop from which the cycles were hired was communicated with and it was stated that the three men who had taken the cycles had erased their names. A clerk of the cycle shop was called to give evidence and he stated that it was the second defendant who had erased the names.\n\nAfter making the following adjustments, which are considered necessary:\n\nWrite off Property ... $895,539.02\n\nWrite off Investment Account ... 144,951.54\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Loans ... 1,123,680.48\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Debts ... 26,106.98\n\nTransfer to General Reserve ... 161,736.83\n\n$2,351,015.66 The result a debit balance of $2,107,790.09, plus $18,925.50 brought forward from last year, has leaving a nett deficit of $2,086,864.50.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor has appointed provisionally and subject to His Majesty's pleasure, the Hon. Mr. Dallas Gerald Mercer Bernard to be an Unofficial Member of the Executive Council during the absence from the Colony of the Hon. Sir Edward Pollock, K.C., with effect from July 10.\n\nConsulting Committee.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor in Council has directed that the name of Mr. Frederick Lanchester Foster-Turner be added to the List of authorised architects.\n\nWe have not seen satisfactory vouchers in respect of the sum of $112,946, under the heading of work expenses made during the strike.\n\nIt appears to us that owing to the late allotment of certain shares, the dividend for the year 1924 was incorrectly paid, involving a small loss to the Company.\n\nUnder section 90 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, His Excellency the Governor in Council has ordered that the Chinese Cemetery, Mesara, J. H. Taggart and T. de Christian Meester retired from Kowloon Tong, known as New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 18, shall be closed from and after August 1, 1926.\n\nMr. W. J. Hawker was invited to join the Committee in place of Mr. J. H. Taggart.\n\nSubject to the above remarks, in our opinion, the foregoing balance sheet is properly drawn up as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the Company's affairs.",

Thereupon Tong was solely responsible for the defence of Kiangsi. It happened that Ip Hoi Kam of Hunan waged war with Tong Shang Chi, and Tu Pei-fu sent an urgent wire to Tang Yu Teuk, Generalissimo of Kiangsi, instructing him to send a re-inforcement at once to help Ip. Tang then directed Tong Fuk Shan to do so, and therefore the latter sent his First Battalion out under the command of Ying Hang. Fortunately Tong Shang Chi was defeated (by Ip Hoi Kam) and Fu availed himself of the opportunity to enter Lai Ling, thence he wired to Tang to report his victory. Later, Tong Shang Chi offered a second counter-attack; Ip Hoi Kam was greatly defeated, and Fu had to retreat from Lai Ling, suffering a loss to the number of a Company. Shortly after Ip regained all the land he had lost, and Fu, with his re-inforcement, again occupied Lai Ling. Of late, on the 10th inst., however, Tong Shang Chi succeeded in taking Cheung Sha, and Fu, after a furious battle with Tong Shang Chi on the 14th and 15th had to retreat back to Ping Heung on the 16th. Tong Fuk Shan again sent his 2nd Battalion under Li Kim Shek to join the fight, but the latter was also seriously defeated.\n\nTherefore, Tong Fuk Shan had to retreat to On Yuen with the remnant of his troops, and on the 18th the Hunan soldiers of Tong Shang Chi occupied Ping Heung.",

But our Authorities took no heed of him, and Cheung Ngai was filled with shame and anger. Now the Northern Expedition has been sent out, and Cheung desires to avail himself of the opportunity to recover Chiu On. He has sent successive detachments to Wan Shiu, Ping Wo and Ma Sang (the latter is at the frontier between Chiu On and Wan Shiu), made a\n\ndisplay of his war preparations and under menace of war, required Cheung Ching to leave Chiu On within certain days.\n\nCheung Ching has now, on the one hand, wired to Ho Ying Yuen\n\nand asked for instructions and re-inforcements, and on the\n\nother, has marched to the front with his men, and threatened\n\nWan Shiu and Ma Sang. According to information received on\n\nthe day before yesterday, a skirmish has been fought at\n\nla Seng between the van-guards of the two sides. The\n\nFukienese made several fierce assaults on Chiu On which were\n\nall repulsed Both sides are still holding out against\n\neach other at la Sang, and no decisive victory was won by\n\neither side. We understand that the Authorities in Chiu\n\nChow and Swatow are not paying much attention to this fighting for Cheung Ching has an army large enough to resist Cheung Ngai for the time being, and can be left to settle the matter himself. No re-inforcements will be sent unless the situa-\n\ntion becomes critical, but every preparation is being made,\n\nand re-inforcement can be sent out any time to help Cheung. This has caused much speculation. If the trouble at Chiu On continues the area involved is bound to spread until this spark has involved Kwong Tung in a war with Fukien.",

        "content_text": "Now Marshal Wu, while being confident of success against Chiang Kai-shek, is unfortunately short of funds for his campaign. He needs about $6,000,000. While he thinks that he will be able to raise half of it in China, he asks the Hongkong Government or the British Imperial Government to make him a loan of the remaining $3,000,000. Mr. Lam thinks that the loan, if made, can be kept strictly secret, and he says that the Marshal does not ask for a dollar to be paid over until satisfactory proof is given that General Sun Chuan-fang will co-operate with him against Chiang Kai-shek, and that a proper plan of campaign has been formulated. Wu said that about three months ago only $4,000,000 was considered enough, but the military strength of Chiang Kai-shek has since increased, and an additional $2,000,000 is considered to be necessary for the success of the campaign. In the past the Marshal had been opposed to contracting loans from Foreign Powers, but in this case he has not hesitated to turn to Great Britain for financial assistance because he considers that in fighting the Bolshevists in Kwangtung he is also fighting Hongkong's battle. It is his honest conviction that any settlement which Hongkong may come to with Canton would not be lasting, because the evil would still be left deeply rooted in the soil. The only way to secure abiding peace for the two places is to pluck up and destroy the root. If the Hongkong Government entertains this proposal, the Marshal will approach the British Minister in Peking to secure his support.\n\n(sd)\n\nSHOUSON CHOW\n\n(sd)\n\nR. H. KOTEWALL.",

They hoped that the workmen would endure hardship for the time being, and wait for an opportunity.\n\n333\n\nThe workmen did not insist on their original policy of stopping the Canton-Hongkong traffic, but as no proper arrangements had been made, they desired that some delay should be made in publishing the date for its resumption. Therefore the Press Censors have suppressed all news in connection with this, and further all printers have received an order from their Labour Association, directing them to strike out all such news.\n\nHowever, according to information from a certain news agency, an objection has been raised by the Princely Faction against the termination of the boycott. They are organising a new department to maintain the anti-British boycott. We learn that a proposal has been made by Borodin to Chiang Kai Shek that Sun Fo should be deprived of his power, and the latter was only allowed to retain his position through the influence of Hira. Sun and on his promise that he would not again make any speech in connection with the Kuomintang diplomatic policy, unless with the approval of Borodin or Eugene Chan.",

        "content_text": "Another general strike in Hong Kong was attempted. This attempt failed completely, and the settlement of Chinese accounts in February last proved to be much more satisfactory in Hong Kong than at Canton. Informal conversations for the purpose of ending the boycott were resumed on the 2nd and 3rd March, when Sir Shou-son Chow and Dr. R. H. Kotewall, whose devoted work on behalf of this Colony throughout the period of the boycott deserves most grateful thanks, conferred at Macao with Mr. Fu Peng-shoung (傅秉祥), then Commissioner for Foreign Affairs to the Canton Soviet. These discussions were followed up by a visit which Mr. J. H. Kemp, the Attorney General, paid to Comrade C. C. Wu at Canton on the 6th and 9th April, and Mr. Kemp's visit was returned in Hong Kong by Mr. Lam Tsz-fung (林子豐) on behalf of the Canton Soviet on the 27th and 28th April. Nothing resulted from these conversations; and Comrades C. C. Wu and Fu Peng-shoung were expelled from Canton by General Chiang Kai-shek on the 1st June; but four days later, on the 5th June, Comrade Eugene Ch'en, who succeeded him, wrote me a letter proposing that an official conference should be held to negotiate a settlement of the boycott. His Majesty's Government agreed to this proposal, and the Canton Government was so informed in a letter from Mr. J. F. Brenan, His Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Canton, dated the 15th June. There followed a month's delay, due wholly and solely to the Canton Government.\n\nPage 407",

As was reported, the Kuomintang Joint Conference recently decided to create Ministries of Communications and Justice, and Messrs. Sun Fo and Hsu Chien were mentioned as heading the new departments. Last evening a mandate was issued by the Government appointing Mr. Sun Fo as Minister of Communications and Mr. Hsu Chien as Minister of Justice. The same mandate orders the abolishing of the Judicial Administrative Committee (hitherto the highest judicial administrative organ in Canton) as soon as the Ministry of Justice be established.\n\nThe Nationalist Government issued another mandate last evening promulgating the constitution for the provincial government of Kwangtung, which is reorganized. Messrs. Chan Shiu-yan, T. V. Soong, Sun Fo, Hsu Sung-ching, Hau Pak-cheun, Li Chai-sum, Chan Fu-mok, Li Lok-chao, Chau Pei-chen, Mrs. Liao Chung-kai and Kam Nai-kwong are appointed members of the Provincial Government Committee of Kwangtung.\n\nAnother mandate orders the abolishing of the posts of commissioners for different administrative areas of Kwangtung.\n\nThe new Provincial Government of Kwangtung will be inaugurated to-morrow morning at the Treasury Building, when the new commissioners will take their oaths of office.—F. A. C.\n\n### Seat to be Moved to Wuchang.\n\nA bulletin has been issued by the Kuomintang Headquarters to the effect that at the meeting of the Central Committee of Political Affairs on the 8th inst., the decision to transfer the Nationalist Government and the Central Party Organisation of the Kuomintang to Wuchang was reached and that these two important steps are to be taken with the least possible delay. The provincial government of Kwangtung has been reorganised and will be duly inaugurated to-day. Two new departments have been created, viz., Judicial and Communications.\n\nThe personnel of the new provincial government will be as follows:\n\nCommissioner of Civil Department, Mr. Chan Shiu-yan.\n\nFinance, Mr. T.

Thus in effect they constitute\n\nno more than an outpost in the defence of Chekiang. They are believed to be loyal and of fair fighting value.

Twice it seems his assistance has been offered and twice refused by Sun. Sun's distrust of Chang is complete.\n\nAsked about losses in men and military stores owing to their reverses in Kiangsi, Ting said the latter\n\ndid not matter owing to the large captures of material made by them after the abortive rebellion in Chekiang. Haia Chao had apparently accumulated great stores\n\nof arms and ammunition and these, together with\n\nthe seizures recently made ex S.S. \"Rickmers\" in Shanghai, far more than compensated for any losses hitherto sustained.

        "content_text": "54\n\nfaith:ful workers to carry out their plans. It has outside support. This is the strong force against Christianity in Canton.\n\nOne can see from all this that the degree of opposition towards Christianity varies a great deal among the forces at work in Canton. For example, in the last anti-Christian campaign all these forces participated, but from different motives and with different methods.\n\nSome employed silent resistance and some used aggressive measures.\n\nForces working against each other.\n\nFurthermore, on many questions these groups are working against each other. In regard to class war, for example, the Communist party stands almost alone against the rest. The Young China Society attacks Communism more bitterly than it does Christianity. The Communist party is meeting opposition everywhere in China, especially among the intellectuals. The Communist party is by no means having an easy time in Canton, although Canton gives the Communist party great freedom of action. It finds opposition everywhere. Recently one of the important Kuomintang leaders, Dr. Tai Kwa To, in his pamphlet \"People's Revolution and the Kuomintang\" denounced the Communists in many respects, and he has had the support of many Kuomintang members. The New Student Society is now a Communist organisation. It used to control the Student Union in Canton, but was defeated in the election last year. The People's Right Society has been a force working against Communism. The Communist party has found strong opposition among the merchants, and even within the labour organisations. When Dr. Ward and the writer met some of the strong labour leaders last April, they were told by them very frankly that China had no place for Communism. One of the largest labour unions forbade its members to participate in the last May-day demonstration with the Communists. In a demonstration last June, the students refused to walk side by side with the Communists. However, the Communists have worked hard day by day to win the people. They have disorganised, reorganised, and organised, and they are advancing every day.\n\nWe Christian workers should know now who are against us and who are not. Of all the forces working against us, we should recognise the different principles and methods. On certain questions, we should know further that we are not standing alone. Many are sympathetic and working with us.\n\nPatriotic Movement.\n\nAfter knowing the forces at work and how they differ from each other, we shall understand the background of the patriotic movement in Canton. The unsettled condition of the country, together with the unjust attitude of the foreign Powers, have aroused the patriotic alarm of the Chinese people, especially the students throughout the country and the workmen in Canton particularly. Since the student movement of the 4th May, 1919, and the renaissance movement, we have witnessed many patriotic nation-wide movements. Even the movement for Chinese control of mission education and the anti-Christian movement itself may be looked upon as a further expression of this patriotic spirit. One movement followed another until the Shanghai, Hankow, and Canton sad incidents, when the patriotic spirit blazed over the whole country, reaching every class of people. As one missionary puts it, to-day in China \"It is war-war for national honour; war for national rights; war for the preservation of the race and of the nation; war against brutality and injustice.\" Many Chinese Christians showed a proper spirit of patriotism-even the Communists gave them credit for it.\n\nBefore 1900, the Chinese people resented the aggressive and oppressive foreigners; after that, Chinese were afraid of foreigners. It was not until the beginning of the student movement on the 4th May, 1919, called forth by the disappointment at the results of the Peace Conference at Paris, that the patriotic spirit rose up again. It is felt everywhere in China to-day. The political parties have done a good deal in rousing this spirit, but foreign oppression, together with the success of Russia and Turkey in their dealing with foreign Powers, have also inspired the Chinese patriots very much.\n\nThis spirit of patriotism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese. If one does not make a clear distinction between this patriotic movement and the progress of Communism, it is a great mistake. If one classifies all the recent patriotic movements as \"Red campaigns,\" or if one were to declare that the \"Reds\" have engineered all the patriotic movements, this would be attributing too much to them. It might even drive non-Communists to become Communists; it would at least make the Communists laugh at our ignorance.\n\n55\n\nWhat should Chinese Christians do under this Spirit of Patriotism?\n\nIt seems to the writer that nothing can stand against this great patriotic movement in China to-day. If Christian work is to continue, it should not try to oppose it. Under these conditions, what should the position of Chinese Christians be? It has been observed that throughout China, practically all the Chinese Christian leaders stood by the patriotic movement. Some may not have approved of all its methods or procedures, but we were all in sympathy with its spirit. Christians from now on should go one step further.\n\nWe should be enquiring of ourselves whether or not we are doing our part for the country, for the Chinese people. We should rely no more on the protection of the unequal treaties through our foreign missionaries. We must do our best to help to get rid of the unequal treaties, for they are against Christian principles.\n\nOther forces are labouring for the good of the working-class and the youth of the country, as Christian organisations have done in the past. We should emphasise these forms of works, or we shall lose our hold upon these classes.\n\nThere is a feeling among many Chinese workers in foreign-controlled Christian institutions that they are merely employees of foreigners. This conception should be changed. The first responsibility to work for the Chinese should be laid upon us Chinese. Foreign missionaries should be helpers only. Unless this idea is well established in our minds, advocating Chinese control of mission education is useless.\n\nLast of all, we should stand firm against materialism and class-war; we must put forth our belief in co-operation and brotherhood in industry. We should stand firm against the narrow idea of strict nationalism, although it is very popular these days, and do our best to lead our country to be strong in the family of nations. Nationalism has led the Western countries into war after war. We must stand for world brotherhood, equal treatment, and world peace.\n\nNow, what should the foreign missionaries do? This is a difficult question for them to solve. It is not for the writer to make any suggestions on this head.\n\nThe foregoing paper deals chiefly with conditions in Canton. Canton is very different from the rest of China. People are aggressive here, and Christian workers must also be aggressive if they are to succeed in the future of Christian work in Canton.\n\nCanton, November 9, 1925.\n\nANNEX XVI.\n\nTwo Despatches from the Governor of Hong Kong describing the Events leading up to and connected with the Visit of the Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong, to Canton in December 1925.\n\n(1)\n\nSir C. Clementi to Mr. Amery.\n\nGovernment House,\n\n(Secret.) Sir,\n\nHong Kong, December 23, 1925.\n\nWHEN I arrived here on the 1st November, I made it my chief duty to inform myself at once as to the political situation in China generally, and at Canton in particular. On the 6th November, I exchanged visits of ceremony with Admiral Li Ching-hsi, who is in command of the Chinese cruiser squadron in these waters, and whose flagship is the Hai Yung. Since then, I have met him informally on several occasions. He stated that he was under the orders of Admiral Yang, whom I have not yet seen, and whose headquarters appear to be at Shanghai. I asked Admiral Li to tell me from whom Admiral Yang gets his orders, and he replied vaguely: \"From the Minister of Marine, at Peking\"; but he subsequently informed me that the Minister of Marine \"had run away,\" and I infer that the Chinese navy is now a law unto itself. However, Admiral Li, upon whose instructions I do not know, regards the present de facto Government at Canton as a rebel Government, and he considers himself to be at war with it. He accordingly maintained until recently a cruiser patrol at the mouth of the West River, with the object of preventing arms and ammunition from reaching the Canton Government, and he also made it his business to prevent the Cantonese Red army from crossing the Hainan Strait and occupying Hoihau, which is one of the sources of this colony's meat supply.\n\nHe has, however, now left for Shanghai, and has withdrawn all\n\n522",

Several villagers who opposed the Military in the raids, in the districts mentioned, were also shot and their houses were burned.\n\nOne of the pirates shot, named LO KAM admitted participation in this piracy and gave the names of several of his confederates, he also stated that the pirates were not all acquainted with each other but were collected together by several sub-leaders. His particular sub-leaders were CHU CHING, a native of SAT YU and a man named CHEUNG YAU SANG also of SAT YU. He further stated that 39 men took part in the piracy.\n\nThe arms used were presumably smuggled on board in Hongkong. Three revolvers used in above piracy were recovered by Commander TONG TUK CHING in his operations and returned to the Hongkong Police. Later Commander TONG T CHI carried out a raid at PING SHAN on 23rd, result of which 5 men believed to be pirates were shot.\n\nS.S. NING SIKJARA Shanghai-Foochow run was pirated at approx; 3 P.M. on the 3rd October, 1924, one day out of Shanghai while on a voyage from Shanghai to Foochow. The ship was carrying 30 cases of silver bars consigned to the American Oriental Bank, Foochow, value approx: 97,000 taels. 34 pirates boarded the ship at Shanghai as passengers. About 250 Chinese passengers were on board. One quartermaster was killed and one sailor wounded. The ship was taken to a place off TREE POINT, Bias Bay where sampans came alongside. The pirates then discharged the silver and other cargo, together with the loot taken from the passengers, into the sampans which then made for SUN LIU.\n\nThe pirates who were armed with revolvers presumably smuggled their arms on board at Shanghai. They came from the TI SHAN and FAN YU KONG districts. Communication was at once made with General IP CHU at Waichau who sent an expedition to BI SHAN under a commander named YUNG FAI TING. It was later reported on fairly good authority that this commander succeeded",

        "content_text": "polishing of floors and care of plants in the cookery compound. Laundry work is also included in the housewifery course.\n\nAnother innovation during 1926 was Drill. Mrs. Atwell was appointed to the Staff in September for physical culture. This subject was quite new to the girls; we were therefore rather apprehensive as to the reception it would be given, but were quickly reassured as the girls showed their enjoyment from the first, and its beneficial results soon became apparent. It is noticeable that the games with which the lessons close tend to promote a larger measure of free play amongst the pupils during the hours of recess and it may generally be said that the deportment of the girls has distinctly improved.\n\n## LIBRARY\nA small room has been arranged as a library and a study for the senior pupils.\n\n## GENERAL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES\nThe Victoria Nursing Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade still continues to be a very live interest in the school. Dr. Minett lectured during the year on First Aid and Home Nursing: in October fourteen candidates were examined by Dr. Hickling and all passed. Members attended two parades in 1926, one on the occasion of H.E. the Governor's inspection and the other on the investiture of His Excellency by H.R.H. Prince George. Pupils have expressed a wish that the School should become identified with the Girl Guide movement, and three members of the Staff together with two former pupils are training as officers with this end in view. It is hoped that patrols will be formed in March and the School is grateful to Mrs. Remington for the help she is giving.\n\nAn Old Girls' Association has recently been formed. This new manifestation of esprit de corps is most welcome, and the work Miss Lewis has done in connexion with the Association is much appreciated.\n\nYet a further departure is the founding of a School Magazine, which will be produced twice yearly.\n\n## CONCLUSION\nIn conclusion I desire to place on record my appreciation of the harmonious atmosphere which has existed during the period under review. I cannot speak too warmly of the loyalty of all branches of the Staff, and of the support extended to me throughout the year. Such whole-hearted co-operation has considerably lightened the work of administration, and I feel constrained to tender my thanks to all concerned.\n\nH. F.

Translation.\n\n(Extract from Wa Kiu Yat Po, Hongkong 29th December, 1925.)\n\n## Compliment paid by the Fraternity Party to the Strikers.\n\nThe Fraternity Party on their arrival at Canton, resolved to send on Sunday the 27th at 11 a.m. deputies to the Canton and Hongkong Strike Commission at Tung Yuen to pay their respects to the Strikers. On that day the Commission, the Picket Committee and the Managers and Staffs of their various offices met at 9 a.m. on their association premises, and at 10 a.m. the Picket Committee and other Representatives together with more than 3,000 members of the Pickets fell in on the open ground of Tung Yuen to offer a welcome. At 12.30 p.m. the Reception Officer, Kan Kam Shex, Secretary of the Nationalist Government, came with Tse Shu Tong, Tsoi Cheung, Wong Kwai Hi and other Representatives of the Fraternity Party, 40 in all. The Pickets presented arms, and the band played. The Representatives raised their hats, and returned a salute. Kan led them into Tung Yuen, and introduced them to So Shiu Ching and Tsang Tsz Im, Present and Vice President of the Strike Commission respectively, and the Committee, in the office of the Commission. They shook hands with one another, and exchanged compliments very warmly. Then the Commission led them to the Pickets Training Pavilion, and held a meeting to welcome them. Several thousands of workmen were present, and all seats were filled. Ko Cham, a member of the Commission, presided, and after the announcement of the reason of the meeting, So Shiu Ching spoke, \"Now you, gentlemen of the Hongkong Fraternity Party, have come to visit our Strikers, and we members of the Commission and the Strikers are filled with gratitude.

Now we have achieved our end of getting the workmen and merchants of Canton and Hongkong to shake hands and to work together, and we hope that you workmen will exert yourselves in your patriotic movement. We have not much time today for a long conversation, and I now beg to read before you strikers our compliments.\"\n\nAfter the address had been read, Ko Cham accepted it and handed it over to So Shiu Ching. Then Wong Kam Yuen, member of the Picket Committee, took the representatives to have an inspection of the Picket Committee Office, Strikers Tribunal, Traffic Office, Correspondence Office and other Departments.\n\nAfter this, the Representatives were led to the open ground of Tung Yuen in a procession.

Swatow, Ningpo, Hangchow, and Soochow may have been prompted by the revelation of the Soviet programme for China discovered in the raid by Marshal Chang Tso-lin on Soviet premises in the Legation Quarter at Peking. I enclose a copy of the Bulletin for the 20th April containing the official report on these discoveries. Even though the communiqué emanates from the enemies of the Kuomintang, the vile and unscrupulous methods laid down in these instructions tally so exactly with the course of events where communist influence prevails that non-bolshevised \"nationalists\" must believe even against their will. The Bulletin is issued daily in Hong Kong by the Publicity Bureau for South China. (See Sir R.E. Stubbs' confidential despatch of the 8th June, 1922)\n\n3. It must not, of course, be assumed that the suppression of communists involves any change of the Kuomintang programme in the matter of the so-called \"unequal Treaties\", extraterritoriality and tariff autonomy. On the contrary, it is not even certain that Labour, once it has recovered from the first shock of disarmament, will not again be militant against the foreign \"Imperialist\". Mr. Ch'an Fu-muk is among the new Commissioners of Government for Kwangtung, and Mr. Wong Kam-yuen is stated to have been permitted to carry on the re-organized \"Hong Kong-Canton Strike Committee\". Mr. Chan Fu-buk was at one time a noted extremist. He was the author of a violent article in the Canton press calling for the execution of the Chinese delegates from the Colony to Canton in December, 1925, and his brother lost his life at the time of the assassination of his close political friend Liu Chung-hoi. Concerning Mr. Wong Kam-yuen...",

The dismissal of Marshal Tseung from his command and his replacement by Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang (the \"Christian General\" and tool of Moscow) has been definitely decreed by the Hankow clique. His expulsion from the Kuomintang is also announced by the same faction. He, on the other hand, has unsparingly denounced the Hankow clique as the enemies of Chinese Nationalism, and has taken very vigorous action against their supporters wherever he has been able to lay hands upon them. He holds Shanghai and Nanking and has declared the latter to be the Nationalist capital. But the Communists appear to hold, besides Hankow, the whole of Hunan and Kiangsi provinces; and despite rumours of an understanding between Marshal Tseung and Marshal Chang Tso-lin the Fengtien forces continue to threaten Nanking, if not Shanghai. There is also in today's newspapers a hint of a split between Marshal Tseung and General Li Chai-sum. The cause of their dissension is said to be the matter of punitive funds for the further progress of the \"northern expedition\" but I cannot at the moment of writing arrive at any clear picture of the position.\n\n## 5.\nIt so happened that, at the time of the anti-communist coup in Canton, I had before me three protests by the Canton authorities, all three made prior to the week-end purgation. The first was against the naval expedition to Bias Bay, the second against the action taken in Hong Kong with respect to the Sun Yat-sen memorial service (see my secret despatch of the 18th March) and the third against",

In Shanghai **蔣介石** (Tseung Kai Shek) had already taken action directed towards the suppression of the Labour Unions and had protested directly and through the Propaganda Department of **何應欽** (Ho Ying Iam)'s army against the action of the Hankow party. The attitude which he adopted was that Communism is in no way the doctrine of the Kuomintang which holds by Sun Yat Sen's \"Three Principles\".\n\nThe Kuomintang however had at first welcomed the co-operation of the Communists partly because it believed in freedom of thought, partly because the two parties had certain doctrines -- e.g., that regarding the emancipation of small and oppressed peoples -- in common. He complained that the Communists had abused their privilege and had aimed at dominating the Kuomintang. Now they have succeeded so far as Hankow is concerned and in fact owing to them Hankow has been in a state of anarchy ever since it was occupied by the Southerners. For this state of affairs he blamed in particular **徐謙** (Hsu Chien) and **鄧演達** (Tang Yin Tat). He declared the political department at Shanghai to be disbanded and established a new Central Executive Committee at Nanking under the leadership of **陳銘樞** (Chah Ming Shu) and **吳樸輝** (Ng Chi Fai). It is suggested that the object of **汪精衛** (Wong Tsing Wai)'s visit to Shanghai was the reconciliation of the two parties and that he went to Hankow with the same purpose but found himself there helpless.",

Some of them are consciously swimming with the tide, in the hope of being carried to high places or at any rate of getting safely to shore with a certain amount of loot. But it is characteristic of revolutions that their leaders cannot see that Liberty, Equality and Fraternity are incompatible with leadership. (Where all are equalized at the lowest denomination how shall one set himself, or be set, in authority above the rest?) Accordingly, if Russia is not forced to withdraw her agents, Comrades Eugene Ch'ên and Hsü-chien will find themselves ousted later on by Wong Kam-yuen, the pork-butcher, and Ko Tsam, the scullion, and they in turn by lower dregs deliriously succeeding one another in directing chaos. Something of this kind seems already to be taking place, for So Shiu-cheng, the whilom Chairman of the Canton Strike Committee, is now dubbed \"Minister\".\n\nEnclo No. 2.

A manifesto jointly issued by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has just been issued in Shanghai. Mr. Wang Ching-wei signed it on behalf of the Kuomintang and Chen Tu-shiu, the foremost Chinese Communist chief, signed on the Communists' behalf.\n\nThe statement declares that the Communist Party will certainly not disregard the Three People Principles of Dr. Sun Yat-sen or overthrow the Kuomintang or its leaders. The Communists deny that they will establish autocratic rule by the proletariat but will establish a Republican Government by the oppressed people.\n\nThe Communists also deny that they will organise a Soviet Government in China or take over all the Foreign Concessions by force. They assure their support of the Northern expedition, and ask that the members of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should sincerely co-operate to accomplish the national revolutionary movement.\n\nThe Kuomintang members here held a conference in Shanghai yesterday to discuss how to give Mr. Wang Ching-wei a rousing welcome upon his return to power. An important conference was held in the Army Headquarters on Monday evening when Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, Mr. Wang Ching-wei, Mr. Chang Ching-kiang, Mr. Wu Chi-fai, and Mr. Tsai Yuan-pei were present. The first and second resolutions of the conference were not announced, but the third one ordered the Kuomintang and other public organisations to adjust their policies.\n\nMarshal Chiang Kai-shek had a conference with the officers of the 1st and 2nd Divisions, now stationed in Shanghai, yesterday afternoon, at which the Marshal made a report on the real condition of the Kuomintang. He asked the generals not to pay attention to rumours now current.\n\nMarshal Chiang Kai-shek has appointed officers to censor the newspapers in Shanghai, not permitting the publication of laws concerning Kuomintang internal trouble.—Nam Chung Pam.",

On the 15th, many of the dangerous elements were arrested, mostly under the guidance of our comrades in the City Kuomintang Department and the Canton Mechanics' Union. Many book-stores for reactionary propaganda were closed down, and many arms of various reactionary associations were seized. In Pun Tong and Wong Sha, several reactionary associations of peasants were dissolved, and simultaneously the various Garrison Commissioners were directed in a secret message from the Generalissimo's Headquarters to make arrests in their own districts. Unexpectedly, Chan Ka Yau revolted in the Northern Region, and General Tsin has marched out to suppress him in conjunction with the Hwangsi troops; and Chan has now retreated out of Canton. We have discovered the intrigues of the Communists through censorship of postal letters and telegrams, and the worst of them was that they had misled many young men to take part in propaganda opposing us. It is a pity that the students have been young and ignorant and have thus been easily made fools of.\n\n(9) Then Comrade Cheung Ching Yu reported what he had witnessed in Wuhan, Nanking, and Shanghai; Comrade Wu Chun Lam, Representative of the Branch Political Department, gave an advisory lecture; Deputy Keung Yuk Shang submitted a report on Kuomintang affairs; Deputy Man So Chung made a revelation of the Communist intrigues; and Tang Man Yi, representative of the Central Military and Political Academy, delivered a speech. All the lectures were very excellent and impressive and were much applauded by all present.\n\n(10) Four resolutions were passed at the meeting:\n\n(a) Radically to purge the Party of all members who hold also membership in the Communist Party.\n(b) To wire compliments to all officers and soldiers at the front.",

Hayley Bell, Commissioner of Chinese Customs for the \"Kowloon\" district, endeavoured to get into personal touch with the author of the demand (Mr. P'ang Ching-hin) at his headquarters in Bias Bay but found Mr. P'ang absent in Hong Kong. Mr. Fraser, however, established friendly relations with the Chinese District Inspector of Police at Nam O (on the Mirs Bay shore of the Peninsula separating that bay from Bias Bay) and was given to understand that the position was realized and the demand would not be repeated. The launch has since called at Tip Fuk without molestation.\n\n4.

With General Li Chai-sum in his policy of Canton for the Cantonese is General Li Fuk-lam (see my secret despatch of the 14th July). But there are other candidates on the same platform, namely Generals Ch'an Kwing-ming and Ngai Pong-p'eng, both Kuangtung men and sworn foes of Marshal Tseung Kai-shek and his clique.\n\n2. Here we meet with a puzzle which is insoluble on present information. Recently the Canton Authorities applied to me through the Consul General at Canton in very polite terms for the return of a gunboat named \"Kwong Ching\", which took refuge in Hong Kong during October 1925 and was interned, the armament and parts of the machinery being taken over by the Hong Kong Police. The vessel had been manned by adherents of General Ch'an Kwing-ming and was understood to belong to him in the way that Chinese naval units often do belong to individual commanders. To my surprise General Ch'an, who is still in Hong Kong, promptly furnished the envoys from Canton with a written waiver of all claim to the vessel in their favour and she was accordingly released and returned to Canton. At the same time Lo Kwan, a well-known adherent of General Ch'an, who for a long time defied the Tseung Kai-shek regime in the area between Mirs Bay and Bias Bay, and who is repeatedly mentioned in my secret despatches on the subject of the Bias Bay piracies, re-appeared in Hong Kong and informed the Police that he had been invited to take up an official post under the Canton Government and that several other equally well-known adherents of General Ch'an were",

At Canton, however, rumour accuses General Ch'an of allying himself with Marshal Chang Tso-lin with a view to capturing Canton for the North, after, it is also stated, taking a considerable sum from Hankow for the same purpose.\n\n3. To return to my conjectural picture. The new Northern Expedition appears to have halted in its offensive and become none too securely defensive. This may be due to actual military pressure by the Hankow forces in Hunan and Kiangsi, or merely to a re-shuffling of the packs held by Hankow and Nanking respectively. Latest advices point to the latter explanation, as it is reported that Marshal Tseung has come to an amicable arrangement with General Chu Pei-teh, who was occupying Kiangsi (on the flank of Hunan) for Hankow. To sum up - and here I must again ask you to remember that I am only guessing at the plot from the presentation on the stage without knowing what is behind the scenes - Generals Li Chai-sum and Li Fuk-lam hold Canton and would like to be their own masters. General Ngai Pong-p'eng may be scheming to the same end with other commanders who were previously opposed to the Sun Yat-sen party. General Ch'an Kwing-ming aims at the same goal, but is turning to the North for assistance. Any two or more of these may be working together against the others. The subordinates of Marshal Tseung Kai-shek wish to hold Canton for their master and are a protection, indispensable for the moment, against Hankow.\n\nHankow",

He returned this morning. General LI FUK LAM came down from Canton yesterday. The agent and General LI lunched with Sir Robert Ho Tung to-day. Both return to Canton by to-night's steamer. General Li is not a close friend of Sir Robert's, and the agent informed me that nothing particular was discussed. The following points summarise the latest interpretation of Chinese events as given by the agent:\n\n1. CH'AN FU MUK (MO), (陳炯明), Minister for Labour in Canton will be turned out and sent to Nankin during the next two or three days.\n2. His successor will probably be MA TSUI CHUN (馬超俊) who assisted in the settlement of the Shameen strike in 1924.\n3. CHANG TSO LIN will have to retreat shortly to the Manchurian provinces.\n4. YEN SHI SHAN (閻錫山) Tuchun of Shansi will then occupy Pekin. He remains on a friendly footing with CHANG TSO LIN.\n5. YEN SHI SHAN has not made an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek. Neither has he with TONG SANG CHI (T'ung Shao-yi was a former Premier), though both the latter generals are trying to come to an understanding with him.\n6. TONG SANG CHI (董紹基) and FENG YU HSIANG (馮玉祥) have joined. The latter (FENG) will declare himself an anti-Red at the appropriate (to himself) moment.\n\n7.",

In the present rapid progress of our Revolution, our troops on the Tientsin-Pukow Railway have taken Tsui Chow, and the men here have advanced as far as Tsai Ning, Tai Ming and Tsz Chow. Pak Chun (Im Shik Shan) has advised me that he has issued a mobilization order to punish rebel Sun. If all our comrades can be unified, we can instantly annihilate all reactionaries and remove all rebels. Therefore it is necessary to convene a Conference of the Executive Committee and the Inspectorate quickly to settle all questions, and we hope that you will make up your mind early.

In view of our life-long friendship and our recent strenuous co-operation, it cannot be the case that we would be sold by a few scoundrels such as Chan Tuk Sau, Li Lap Sam and others. The soul of our late President in Heaven will after all reveal their dangerous intrigues and urge our unity so as to accomplish our work, which is nearly finished.

The remnants of the Shantung rebels have also been repeatedly defeated. Our troops along the Tientsin-Pukow Railway have pushed up to Tai On from Lam Shing, and the men under me (Fung Yuk Tseung) have taken Tso-Chau. The People's righteous troops have risen between Kiao-chow and Ko Mat, and there will be no difficulty in conquering Tsai-nan. The two rebels, Chang Tso-lin and Chang Chung Chang, have desired to take their flight, and many of their men, in view of the activity of the proletariat, have come over and incorporated themselves with our National Revolutionary Armies at the front. Therefore, the troops of the 2 Changs were defeated before our advance, and totally lost their morale. Thus, we are full of hope for a success in our Northern Expedition.\n\nWhile we expect to settle all the disputes of our Party at a Conference to be convened when we reach Peking, the parties on the upper and lower Yangtsz suddenly made preparations for war against each other. However unintelligent we may be, we can never approve of this. Though the Mukdenese and Shantung rebels have been repeatedly defeated, if war breaks out among our National Revolutionists, the troops at the front must be withdrawn for the purpose, and the rebels will very probably avail themselves of the opportunity to make a counter-attack. Should Ho-nan be in any way shaken, Wuhan will be thrown into a dangerous position, and when disturbances break out on the Tientsin-Pukow Railway, Nanking will be in danger. Thus, the dispute among",

Although General Li is not in Canton, he is still recognised as the head of the Canton Government even by General Chang Fat-fui, who has said as much in his official proclamation recently issued. General Chang is merely a rebel to be suppressed.\n\nHis Excellency in reply states that the Canton case may be slightly different from the case referred to above, but for the Hong Kong Government to accept and carry out the suggestions of General Fung would amount to disregard of the instructions of His Majesty's Government. He offers again to telegraph home for instructions, but says that he feels certain that it would be useless. He suggests that General Wong should not waste any more of his precious time by delaying in Hong Kong but should devise other means to reach his destination as quickly as possible.\n\nGeneral Fung says that since the Hong Kong Government is unable to send General Wong to Shiu Hing in a British gunboat, he considers it unnecessary for His Excellency to telegraph to London, but expresses his thanks for His Excellency's kind offer. The General further states that he understands the situation and appreciates the difficulty of the position of the Hong Kong Government.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary asks the reasons for General Li Fuk-lam going over to General Chang's side.

As regards the general policy of this latest régime, the omens are somewhat contradictory. It seems, unfortunately, quite clear that General Cheung will not forget his Hankow origins and will range himself with that clique against Nanking. He is working with Wong Ching-wei, whose alleged betrayal of the Kuomintang to the Communists has formed the subject of so many of the tirades of Nanking forwarded in previous despatches. It is probably untrue to call Wong a communist, but he is a determined Nationalist with strongly radical tendencies, and his return to power in Canton can hardly fail to give fresh life to labour-unionism, with disastrous results to trade and to relations with Hong Kong generally. Entirely in keeping with this tendency towards the left are some of General Cheung's nominations to the forcibly vacated offices under the Canton administration. Thus Ch'an Kung-pok - a noted extremist - is to take charge of the nationalist organ, Kwok Man San Man, while Tse Ying-pak, leader of the Seamen's Strike of 1922, is made Commissioner of the Labourers and Peasants Bureau. And there are other symptoms indicating a revival of confidence among the violent section of Labour. One of the Commissioners appointed by General Li Chai-sum to take",

He agrees that we must employ men who are discreet and have a full sense of their responsibilities.\n\nMR.

He is sure that Hongkong and Canton will now become really good friends. He is very grateful to General Li for what he has already done, and he assures him through Mr. Luk that he will do everything he can in Hongkong to bring about better relationship and better trade between the two places.\n\nMR.

General Ho Lung and General Ip Ting, who formerly belonged to the Hankow clique, and who have just been defeated by Chang Fat-kuei, have left Nanking and are near the northern border of Kwongtung.\n\n28.

There are about 1,000 Japanese soldiers at Tsinan, Shantung; and about 1,000 at Tsingtao. There is no doubt that at one time Japan wanted seriously to interfere with the internal affairs of China. The present Japanese Minister casts a covetous eye on Chinese territory. The Japanese soldiers that were recently sent to Shantung were not invited there by Chang Tso-lin at all. As a matter of fact, Chang Tso-lin and Yang Yu-ting personally protested at the Japanese Embassy against the despatch of troops to China.

On the 18th, many of the dangerous elements were arrested, mostly under the guidance of our comrades in the City Kuomintang Department and the Canton Mechanics' Union. Many book-stores for reactionary propaganda were closed down, and many aims of various reactionary associations were seized. In Pun Tong and Wong Sha several reactionary associations of peasants were dissolved, and simultaneously the various Garrison Commissioners were directed in a secret message from the Generalissimo's Headquarters to make arrests in their own districts. Unexpectedly Chan Ka Yau revolted in the Northern region, and General Tsin marched out to suppress him in conjunction with the Hwangsi troops; and Chan has now retreated out of Canton. We have discovered the intrigues of the Communists through censorship of postal letters and telegrams, and the worst of them was that they had misled many young men to take part in propaganda opposing us. It is a pity that the students have been young and ignorant and have thus been easily made fools of.\n\n(9) Then Comrade Cheung Ching Yu reported what he had witnessed in Wuhan, Nanking and Shanghai; Comrade Wu Chun Lam, Representative of the Branch Political Department, gave an advisory lecture; Deputy Heung Yuk Shang submitted a report on Kuomintang affairs; Deputy Man So Chung made a revelation of the Communist intrigues; and Tang Man Yi, representative of the Central Military and Political Academy, delivered a speech. All the lectures were very excellent and impressive and were much applauded by all present.\n\n(10) Four resolutions were passed at the meeting:\n\n(a) Radically to purge the Party of all members who hold also membership in the Communist Party.\n\n(b) To wire compliments to all officers and soldiers at the front.",

Much intrigue is evidently going on, but the local aspects of it are merely reflections of the manoeuvres in progress at Nanking, and the future of the province is bound up with the success or failure of the Nationalist leaders in securing some sort of unity under a Central Government.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nDear Brenan,\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nJ. F. BRENAN.\n\nMajor-General Luard to Acting Consul-General Brenan.\n\nHeadquarters, South China Command,\n\nHong Kong, August 24, 1928.\n\nI AM enclosing a copy of a letter I have to-day sent to his Excellency, the Officer Administering the Government, Hong Kong.\n\nAs regards arms in Shameen, I understand that the Canton authorities are contemplating obtaining permission from the foreign consuls to make a search.\n\nI should be interested to have any comments you may care to make on the situation generally, and whether you can contradict or corroborate the news contained in the attached letter.\n\nI propose coming to Canton with Hanna to have a look at things and to have a talk with you on Monday next—leave here Sunday-night boat. I shall be busy with detachment early, but will come and see you about midday, if that will suit.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nC. C. LUARD.\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul-General Brenan to Major-General Luard.\n\nDear General,\n\nCanton, August 28, 1928.\n\nI HAD the pleasure of discussing with you personally the matters mentioned in your letter of the 24th August, but I am sending this brief reply for purposes of record.\n\nI have heard various rumours about intrigues against the present Canton administration, in which Chen Ming-shu and Chan Chak are mentioned as opponents of Li Chai-sum, and I have no doubt that Li Fuk-lam would like to get back to his old position in Honam. Such intrigues and rumours are inevitable, but I cannot say how serious they are in the present case. The local authorities, with whom I have discussed the situation, seem to feel fairly secure and to believe that Li Chai-sum is firmly established. On the other hand, we have had requests for permits to enter Shameen after dark from Canton police officers, who fear trouble and want a line of retreat in case of another Communist uprising.\n\nI do not think that any quantity of arms can be stored on Shameen without our knowledge. It would be difficult to bring them in and still more difficult to take them out once the trouble had started. I mentioned the rumour to my French colleague. He was sceptical, but said he would investigate. At all events, the Cantonese authorities have said nothing about any such suspicions, and they would be quick enough to do so, if they had them.\n\nIf I were you, I think I should be cautious with Mr. Koo. I know nothing about him, but from what you tell me I suspect that he is trying to secure some job or concession for himself from the Chinese powers that be, and he would like to give them the impression that he is intimate with the British military authorities, and is in a position to obtain supplies of arms or other favours.\n\nWang Shao-hung sent an emissary to see me a few days ago to countersign an import permit for saltpetre, which the general wished to purchase in Hong Kong for a fire-cracker factory in which he was interested. The messenger told me that General Wang had gone to Liuchow.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMajor-General Luard to the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\n(Secret.) Your Excellency,\n\nHeadquarters, South China Command,\n\nHong Kong, August 24, 1928.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you of the gist of a conversation held yesterday between a member of my staff and Mr. Koo. The latter, you will remember, was recently largely instrumental in arranging a visit to Canton by one of my staff, who saw various military establishments and whose report you have seen.\n\n2. Mr. Koo gave the impression of being very concerned about the stability of the existing régime in Canton. He stated that Li Chai-sum had been far too easy-going in the past, and that, in reality, the only troops upon which he could depend were those of the IVth Army under General Chan Chia-tong,\n\n3. In the meantime, a definite anti-Kwangsi party were forming in Canton, whom he considered as pro-Chiang Kai-shek. The leaders of this party are General Chen Ming-shu, at present in Hainan, Admiral Chan Chak and Li Fuk-lam, the latter having recently returned to Hong Kong.\n\n4. In some three weeks' time Mr. Koo expects the plot to ripen, in which case a rising will take place, and the rebellious leaders are not expected to hesitate from using and arming \"Red\" peasants. For this purpose, Mr. Koo stated that the Cantonese authorities were aware that Li Fuk-lam had been storing arms in the Shameen, and these are suspected to be in the French concession.\n\n5. Mr. Koo was very anxious that an officer from Hong Kong should accompany him to Kwangsi to interview Wang Shao-hung, the military chief of that province, in order to advise him to come to the aid of Li Chai-sum. He pointed out that early this year a diplomatic rapprochement was effected between Hong Kong and Canton, and that it was a pity that the most should not be made of this, particularly as the Chiang Kai-shek party, represented in the South by Chen Ming-shu and Chan Chak, were not likely to be fastidious in making use of Russian help.\n\n6. Mr. Koo intimated that it was possible that Wang Shao-hung might be visiting Canton in a few days' time.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nC. C. LUARD, Commanding, South China Command.\n\nJ. F. BRENAN.\n\nEnclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the\n\n\"Kung Ping Po\" of August 13, 1928.\n\nTHE PROPOSAL OF DEMARCATION OF THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN PO ON DISTRICT AND THE NEW TERRITORY SUBMITTED FOR RESOLUTION.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nTHE Po On magistrate, named Chang Kai Tsung, is of opinion that as Po On District is closely connected, geographically speaking, with Hong Kong, it is not unusual to find serious disputes and unavoidable misunderstandings between the Chinese and British Governments, if and when the boundaries are not clearly demarcated. At the Rehabilitation Conference of the Western Region, a written proposal has been submitted by the said magistrate, seconded by other five magistrates, to the effect that an application should be sent in by the Rehabilitation Commissioner for the Western Region to the Kwangtung Provincial Government requesting them to appoint a special deputy to Po On District inviting the Hong Kong Government for negotiating the demarcation in question.\n\nReasons supporting the Proposal.\n\nIn accordance with the Assembly Meeting Procedures, if a proposal is moved by one of the members present and seconded by five other members, the proposal may be submitted as a provisional motion, we beg to state that the original name of the present Po On District was called the San On District.\n\nIt was after the opium war, when the Island of Hong Kong was occupied vi et armis with no strong reasons by the British Government, as a concession for a period of ninety-nine years. This was the greatest disgrace, which could never be forgotten",

        "content_text": "by the people of Po On District. However, as Hong Kong is but a little dot in the map, so the national insult was then pocketed. It was all out of expectation that after the Boxer trouble Kwongchowwan was occupied by the French; and the British, with the pretext of maintaining the equilibrium of influence, began to occupy vi et armis Kowloon and its vicinity, which were taken as the wall of protection for the Island of Hong Kong, as further concessions for another period of ninety-nine years; and it was then demanded by the British Government that she would have permanent sovereignty over the Island of Hong Kong. The boundaries of these concessions are: east, Tai Pang Wan (Bay); west. Hau Hoi (Deep Water Bay); south, Dam Kon Mountain; north, Shum Chun River, Hong Kong is included within these boundaries. The area of these concessions, including land and sea, is about 100 Chinese square li. Although this is a national disgrace, most unfortunately the great majority of Chinese citizens knows or hears nothing of the matter. Moreover, Hong Kong is the throat, so to speak, of the European-Asiatic communications.\n\nUnder the circumstances, it will for ever bring no small troubles to the Po On people, if and when the boundaries are not clearly demarcated. In the 27th year of Kwong Shui of the Tsing Dynasty, the then traitor Government most lavishly presented to the British Government concessions of Chinese territories. It was then stated that Shum Chun should be the boundary river, and it has been clearly defined in the north that the British concession boundary ends at the southern part of the dividing line of the river, whereas the northern part of the dividing line of the river is absolutely under the Chinese jurisdiction. The western part of the river should be neutral.\n\nIn the east the British boundary ends at Hau Hoi; it was originally fixed that Lek Sum, as is so-called by the natives, in the middle of Hau Hoi, was the boundary. A buoy was put there so as to indicate that the western part belongs to China. Nevertheless, the British Government began to eat away the Chinese sovereignty, by requesting the Government at the end of Tsing Dynasty to appoint a special commissioner for demarcating the concessions' boundaries again.\n\nA special deputy, named Wong Chuen Sin, was then appointed by the then Provincial Government to proceed to Po On District for this purpose. This mandarin was a born traitor, so after accepting heavy bribes from the British Government, consequently approved of the British Government's request that the jurisdiction over the river waters which flowed outwards to Hau Hoi absolutely belonged to the British Government. Consequently, the buoy which was put for a long time was removed, and thus the whole Hau Hoi became British waters. The thing that is most contradictory to the international justice is that the British Government declares that wherever the water flows there is the British territory. Therefore, the several tens of li of precious and valuable coastal lands on which oyster ponds can be developed and shell-fish can be found become British possessions. All cargo boats, oyster boats and fishing boats must apply to the Hong Kong Government for licences before they are allowed to sail on the river. Thus the British territory acquisition extends as far as the bank of the Hau Hoi, and is only about several li from the District City Wall. This interference of national sovereignty is, in fact, the surviving disgrace left us by our traitor, the Tsing Dynasty, and is the most insulting national affair which we can hardly bear. Although his Excellency the ex-Viceroy of Two Kwongs, named To Mo, took the matter up afterwards with the Hong Kong Government, owing to his ignorance and lack of substantial influence, it has been kept in abeyance until the present moment.\n\nProposed Measures to be taken.\n\nAs the British Government is eating away our Chinese sovereignty as aforesaid, and as this is not the opportune time for us to claim back Kowloon and other concessions, we have to further bear the national disgrace with patience, but we sincerely hope that the Canton Government would send an official despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong demanding redemarcation of boundaries, and at the same time a special deputy should be sent to Po On District with authority to fully discuss matters with the deputy appointed by the Hong Kong Government, with a view to amending the New Territory Boundary to its previous status, that is to say, the boundary shall be fixed at the dividing line of the Shum Chun River and the dividing line of Hau Hoi. A special indicator shall be put up signifying the division of the concession and the Chinese territory, in order that no further disputes or misunderstandings will happen. By so doing, it will not only bring substantial gains to the District of Po On, but it also contributes happiness and peace to the country as a whole. We therefore humbly request all the gentlemen attending the conference to unanimously vote on our motion, and we hope that instructions to that effect be issued accordingly.\n\nProposed by Chang Kai Tsung, Po On Magistrate.

        "content_text": "When the Farm terminated in June of last year, it was decided by the Government of Macao to take over the management and control of opium themselves, this being the practice becoming more prevalent in all countries concerned with the sale of opium, certain Conventions and Agreements having been entered into under the League of Nations. The old monopoly had to come to an end and plaintiff was appointed Superintendent and Administrator in the new Farm, taking into his employment as advisers people who had been connected with the opium monopoly before, as he had had no previous experience. He had been in the Government service for several years and had retired, going into banking and other business ventures but being re-appointed to do this work.\n\nDefendant's Alleged Grievance. The defendant had not to any serious extent suffered, continued counsel, and there was no reason why he should. He seemed, however, to have suffered from intense resentment that he was not consulted or made a figurehead in the new administration. This, claimed counsel, appeared throughout the petition to the Governor of Macao which counsel proceeded to read in full.\n\nThe petition set out the various benefactions to Macao by defendant. Having fulfilled every obligation under the contract with the Government and having done more than it may be expected of any member of the community in Macao in rendering services to the Government, your petitioner feels that he should be given, if not preferential, at least fair and sympathetic treatment at the hands of the Government in any case where the interests of your Petitioner or the Company are concerned. Your Petitioner also expected that he and the Company should enjoy the confidence of the Government in connection with matters concerning the Opium Monopoly and that they should be consulted in the event of any change in the management.\n\nCounsel contended that the petition showed that defendant was bent upon attacking everyone connected with the new Opium Department. It had been sent to various lawyers nominally for professional opinion but actually to give it the widest possible publicity.\n\nThe plaintiff, Mr. Jose Pedro Lobo, the recently appointed Opium Administrator, stated in evidence that he regarded the statements complained of, which appeared in Mr. Lee Hysan's petition as libellous as regards himself and as suggesting that the Government of Macao conducted public affairs improperly.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Potter, the plaintiff agreed that if any responsible person received evidence which he had no reason to disbelieve that improper conduct was taking place, it would be a duty to call for investigation. Plaintiff's objection to the letter was that he had been accused of having received $50,000 to pay to others in order to put a deal through. This, in his opinion, meant that he was using his influence improperly.\n\nMr. Potter: You will agree with me that a company does not make announcement to shareholders of bribes paid to Government officials?\n\nMr. Ralphs in his annual report said that the building and equipment were good, the staff was adequate, and the discipline excellent. He also stated that the written work throughout was exceptionally good, that the physical exercises deserved special mention, and that each year saw a steady and marked improvement in the college.\n\nDr. Minett in her half-yearly report said that the premises were in good order and that the improvements made had given more room and produced better conditions. She also said that the dormitories in our newly-opened Boarding Department were good, light, and airy.\n\nBoarding Department. During the summer vacation, we made plans for adding a boarding department to the college and advertised for boys. We provided room for only fifty boarders, and it was filled on the first day after the re-opening. At the end of the year, we enlarged it, and it was again filled on the first day of the new school year.\n\nOur branch school at Yaumati had 270 on roll during the year. The staff consisted of nine teachers. We occupied six very unschool-like flats at Portland Street, one of the noisiest quarters of Yaumati.\n\nIn the second half of the year, we bought a piece of land at Nelson Street and erected a new school-building on it. It was completed at the beginning of this year, and we moved in after the Chinese New Year vacation. Mr. Chow Cheng Lam, B.A., is the Headmaster.\n\nSports. During the year, our football team played several matches and boys also competed in the Volley Ball League. The lack of a suitable playground is a severe hindrance.\n\nWe held our annual gymnastic competition in January. There were more competitors than in the previous year. Every year sees an increase in the number of boys who take exercise on the parallel and horizontal bars under the expert guidance of Mr. Mauricio.\n\nExamination Results. All the students of Class 1 entered for the Matriculation and Senior exams...\n\n...knew of certain other lawyers who were receiving retainers of $1,200 a year from the Opium Company.\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer, Mr. Plinio Tinoco, said that he was sent for by the Governor of Macao who showed him a copy of the petition received from Mr. Lee Hysan. He understood that the reference to $50,000 applied to himself and not to the Treasury. Witness then sent for Mr. Lobo, because it was stated in the letter that the money was handed to him through Mr. Lobo.\n\nWitness had also written to Mr. Lee Hysan asking if he (witness) was meant in the letter. Mr. Lee Hysan replied by letter in English saying that the Government Department was referred to and not anyone in particular. He (witness) asked the Macao Government for an Inquiry but the Governor was of opinion that it was not necessary as no suspicion attached to him.\n\nAt this stage, the Court rose for the day.\n\nPage 62",

The natural water courses have been altered to such an extent that Kowloon Tsai is in danger of being uninhabitable during a period of heavy rain and resumption has become necessary. Continued work on the important development areas of Kowloon has been provided for and I would draw particular attention to item No.128, the filling in of areas North West of Nam Chang Street, which is a much needed sanitary improvement.\n\nBefore passing to the more obvious omissions that will be noticed in the list of Public Works Extraordinary proposed, it is right to draw attention to an item of expenditure which though not before us this year will inevitably be necessitated in the near future even if it has not to be included in the Budget for 1930. Government Office accommodation has become unduly cramped and the erection of new buildings (probably on the Beaconsfield Arcade site) has become a matter requiring early and anxious attention. It may sound strange that a demand of this nature should be put forward so soon after the completion of the large new offices on the Harbour front, and while the extension of the Colonial Secretary's Office building is actually in hand.\n\nPage 37",

Mr. Wong said that General Ch'an Ming-shü would probably be able to leave the hospital in three weeks' time, and I shall hope to have a personal interview with him before he resumes duty in Canton. I may explain that Mr. Wong's position at present is Manager of the Canton Arsenal and of the Canton Mint, and that in this capacity he sits as a member in the Canton Military Council. He is a personal friend of General Ch'an Ming-shu, who employs him as his mouthpiece in confidential matters. He is a native of the Heungshan district in Kwangtung and speaks fluent English.\n\n11. As there had been persistent rumours of an impending invasion of Kwangtung by the notorious \"Ironsides\", under General Cheung Fat-fui, who was responsible for the Canton massacre at Christmas, 1927, and for the Tsinanfu outrage in 1928, I asked Mr. Wong whether these apprehensions were well-founded. Mr. Wong replied that it had been the intention of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, in the event of Kwangtung taking part against him in the civil war, to order an invasion of the province by Generals Cheung Fat-fui and Mau Pui-nam. These two generals, with their troops, were at present near Nan-ch'ang in Kiangsi province. As, however, the neutrality of Kwangtung was now assured, Marshal Chiang had promised General Chan Ming-shu that the \"Ironsides\" would not be allowed to approach the Kwangtung frontier. The policy of General Ch'an Ming-shu will be the same as that of Marshal Li Chai-sum, namely, to prevent any recrudescence of communism in Kwangtung.\n\n12.",

The immediate result has been the restoration in some degree of confidence in the Canton currency.\n\nBut a source of anxiety is the uncertain attitude of the Kwangsi generals. Should they endeavour to regain control of Kwangtung, fighting may be expected to occur almost at once. So far, however, no definite pronouncement has been made by them.\n\nA further complication, as I have already noted, is the presence in Kiangsi of the Fourth Army, under Generals Cheung Fat-fui and Mau Pui-nam. This army is recruited from the Ha-sz-fu in Kwangtung province, and contains some of the best fighting material of the Nationalist armies, having earned the nickname of \"Ironsides\". Its leaders and soldiers are, however, tinged with Communism and are greatly feared on that account by the Cantonese, who suffered severely at their hands in 1927.\n\nIt is unlikely that a large body of Cantonese will be willing to remain indefinitely exiled from their own homes. So long, therefore, as the Fourth Army remains in being near the Kwangtung frontier, it will be a distinct menace to the preservation of peace in that province. A more remote, but nevertheless a possible source of danger is the contingency that the Hankow armies, now fighting Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, may, if defeated, retreat southward with the intention of establishing themselves once more in Kwangtung. The general outlook, therefore, although better than it was last week, is still menacing; and the elimination \n\nIt is \nof",

In this, they may succeed, as the place is garrisoned by indifferent troops formerly commanded by Li Fuk-lam.\n\nWhat has led to this unsatisfactory state of affairs was the weakening of the armies of the Kwongsi-ites by breaking their cohesion. Pei Chung-hsi, by an error of judgment, first joined in the Northern Expedition, and afterwards in the so-called Eastern Expedition at the behest of Chiang Kai-shek. This move on the part of Chiang had the desired effect of separating the Kwongsi armies.\n\nAlthough Li Chung-jen has an army in Hunan and Hupeh, he is too simple a man to be able to resist encroachments.\n\nLi Chai-sum wasted three precious months last year in Nanking, where he had to subordinate himself to others. He is a good administrator and a good executive officer, but he is lacking in political experience and is not an intriguer.\n\nThe Kwongsi-ites will undoubtedly lose in the end.\n\nWhy is Chiang Kai-shek working for their downfall? It is because his own downfall in 1927 was wrought by Pei Chung-hsi, and Chiang is not a man to forget a wrong.\n\nChiang Kai-shek is not altogether free from Bolshevist influence. As long as he is able to hold his own within the Kuomintang Party, he can be expected to pursue his present policy; but if his power is shaken or his position threatened, then he may again fly into the arms of the Russian Bolshevists.\n\nAnd there are many in the Party who desire, and actually work...",

When the \nconsignment arrived it was found to contain second-hand \nmachines which could not be assembled because many of the \nparts were missing or defective. Some of these were \neventually replaced, but General Chang confessed to Mr. \nVaughan Fowler the other day that the cheapest way out \nof the muddle would be to make a bonfire of these \nparticular planes in the middle of the aerodrome. \nSome \nof the Chinese concerned in the transaction have been \nimprisoned, and an application has been made for the \nextradition of the chief offender Lam Sai Shing (\n \nHis Majesty's Minister, \nPeking.",

Mr. Moss discussed at length with Mr. Lai the article on \"Canton's Charter of Freedom for Mui-tsai\" and he has written me a most interesting letter, dated the 18th November, which I enclose a copy, giving the gist of this conversation. In view of the fact that Mr. Lai's observations were made on the train in the course of a private conversation, Mr. Moss does not feel justified in embodying them in an official despatch; and I agree with Mr. Moss that, if he were to call on Dr. Wu Po-liang and challenge him officially on the subject, Dr. Wu would undoubtedly say that the Provincial Government of Kwangtung meant to enforce the new regulations concerning mui-tsai strictly and without fear or favour.\n\nPage 31",

The name of the girl has since been changed to Yut Ha.\n\nOn the 12th day of 6th moon (i.e. 18/7/29) Wong Lo Shi wrote to her mother-in-law in the country, requesting her to inform Ching Ngai Shi to come to Hong Kong in order to talk over the matter concerning her daughter.\n\nOn the 14th day of 6th moon (i.e. 20/7/29) Ching Ngai Shi called on Wong Lo Shi accordingly. Then Wong Lo Shi told the mother that ever since she bought her daughter, she met with no end of bad luck, inasmuch as her husband had been ill time and again. Wong Lo Shi therefore urged Ching Ngai Shi to redeem her daughter at once, in default of which she would have to raise the money by re-selling the girl to somebody else. Ching Ngai Shi is unable to raise any money for the purpose, and at the same time she does not like her daughter to be re-sold. In the circumstances, she has no other alternative but to appeal to the Society for assistance in the matter.\n\nThe Mistress (Wong Lo Shi) does not permit the girl to see her mother at present.

These troops have marched into Southern Kiangsi and may perhaps make their way into Kwangtung.\n\n2. War in the South would appear to have come to a complete standstill. This may be because of the difficulty of maintaining communications in the hilly country of Kwangsi, but more likely because of the poverty of the Cantonese Government and the unwillingness of her generals to push matters to extremes. Chan Chai-tong's loyalty to those in authority in Canton has been openly challenged in the press. His relations with Chan King-shu are supposed to be not over-cordial but his loyalty to Chiang has not hitherto been seriously questioned in responsible quarters. What has excited much more attention has been the unexpected invasion of Northern Kwangtung by a band of four thousand communists early in the month. On the 1st of April they captured Nam Hung, where some looting took place, and later they invaded the district of Chi Hing. They even threatened Yan Fa.\n\nOn receipt of telegraphic reports of these events the Canton Government sent a force under Generals Tsang Yau-yan and Lam Pang-shang to deal with the situation. Meanwhile a number of peasants with communist sympathies at Wong Kong and Shan Ko had risen in welcome but were suppressed apparently\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

At this juncture Chiang Kai-shek early in February announced his intention of proceeding in person to the South with three divisions of his own troops in order to complete the subjugation of Kwangsi but the renewal of hostilities further North caused him to change his mind. Meanwhile Cheung Fat-fui had reformed his army and proceeded to march southward from Kuei Lin and Luichow with the intention of establishing himself in the South-Western districts of Kwangtung whither he had previously sent emissaries to secure the co-operation of the local bandits. Cheung is himself a native of Kochow and it was from this region that he hoped to draw considerable support.\n\nBy the middle of February his advance guard had crossed the Kwangtung frontier and his main body had reached Pak Lau in the neighbourhood of Wat Lam when he was attacked in flank by the Cantonese aided by those troops who had remained faithful to Lui Wun-yim. The result was a victory for the Cantonese who claim that Cheung's army was driven from the field leaving eight hundred dead with a large number of rifles and machine guns. Kwangsi troops took some part in the fighting but seem to have made no serious attempt to assist their allies. Among the prisoners taken were very few Cantonese and it is thought that the greater part of Cheung's forces",

There remained the other northern division, and four divisions of provincial troops, none of which however was at full strength, a generous estimate of the total for all five divisions being 40,000 men. No reliable information regarding the numbers opposed to them is available; but it seems likely that they were outnumbered by the attackers, augmented as these seem to have been by troops of bandits and irregulars inspired by the hope of loot. The so-called Iron Army, led by Cheung Fat-fui, was reputed to be an excellent fighting machine and was expected to fight desperately for the prize before it, while the defenders were thought to have been corrupted by easy living to be unlikely to offer a determined resistance.\n\nFortunately for Chiang Kai-shek, the success of T'ang Shêng-chih at Lo-Yang gave him a moment's respite just as the danger to Canton recurred. He seized the opportunity to despatch to the South what troops could be spared for the purpose - nominally four divisions, but in fact perhaps 10,000 men in all, augmented the number of aeroplanes at the disposal of Canton and ordered four gunboats to proceed thither from Amoy. He also sent one of his German military advisers and General Ho Ying-yam, his Chief of Staff, to direct all operations. Before these reinforcements arrived, the Cantonese commanders had already withdrawn their men from Kwangsi province without fighting and had taken up positions along the North River from Sam-shui to Tsing-yuen, where they dug trenches.",

In particular, Dr. Li Tsoo Yiu was accorded a deafening reception. His Excellency the Governor shook hands with each of the successful graduates as he was presented.\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\nAfter the scholarship winners had been presented His Excellency addressed Congregation as follows:-\n\nStanding before you to-day, as your Chancellor, I cannot but ask myself what is the special contribution which this University should make to Hong Kong, to China, to the world?—and I beg you to bear with me while I endeavour in the fewest possible words to answer these 'obstinate questionings.'\n\nAt the outset let me remind you that the Colony of Hong Kong is the principal meeting-ground of the British and Chinese civilizations. Here, therefore, better than anywhere else on the face of the earth, the Chinese may learn those lessons which Great Britain can teach them! and Britishers may study things Chinese.\n\nNow, if two foreign peoples are to understand one another, they must begin by learning each other's languages, reading each other's literature and history, and familiarizing themselves with each other's manners and customs. So I venture to suggest that the most important contribution which the Hong Kong University can make to this Colony is to afford Britishers the opportunity of associating with Chinese students and learning their language, their modes of thought and habits of life, while at the same time offering Chinese students every facility for acquainting themselves thoroughly with all things British.\n\nA Bond Of Union.\n\nThis University should be par excellence the bond of union between the two races by whose co-operation Hong Kong has been converted within less than a century from a barren island into one of the greatest shipping ports of the world.\n\nHere should be the centre not only of the highest intellectual life, but of the best social life of the Colony. Thus will whatever is most valuable in the two civilizations - British and Chinese - be fused, fashioned and adapted by your efforts for the special needs of Hong Kong.\n\nThe chief contribution of this University to China should, I think, be the interpretation of British ideals, civic, ethical and educational, to the Chinese people and the promotion of Anglo-Chinese friendship. It is indeed expressly laid down in the Hong Kong Ordinance, by which this University was incorporated, that one of its objects was to be the maintenance of the good understanding with the neighbouring country of China.'

We do not know if the scheme will be sanctioned: we do not even know as yet if it is a feasible and workmanlike scheme. There are—and can be, in the circumstances—no detailed estimates available. And the works are not likely to be commenced before 1932, in any event. It is perhaps hardly reasonable to ask",

Any application which may eventually be made should be based on plans and estimates as complete as possible; there should be a careful examination of the probable revenue to be derived from the works (that is a point to which the CDAC always directs attention); and the application should not include a request for a grant to cover sinking fund charges--as the Act does not permit of that.\n\nI feel quite certain that, on the application as it now stands, there is very little hope of getting anything from the Fund. Water-works should, obviously, be on a commercial basis, save in very exceptional circumstances; and exceptional circumstances do not apparently exist here.\n\n\"The price of water can, if necessary, be raised to give a sufficient return on capital\". If that is so--and doubtless it is so, for Hong Kong--then what justification is there for asking the British taxpayer to pay in order that Hong Kong may get its water fractionally cheaper?

(Copy attached together with Honourable Director of Public Works' Minute of 8th May, 1930)\n\nThe question of the Gorge Dam has been referred to the Secretary of State.\n\nThe principal work of this section of the scheme is the Gorge Dam which it is proposed to raise to a Top Water Level of about 600 A.O.D. and thus secure the 2,000 million gallons storage in one reservoir.\n\nThis dam would have a maximum depth of water of 182 feet and have a maximum depth to bottom of foundations of 220 feet. It is estimated the cost of construction would be $4,550,000.00 or at the rate of $2,275.00 per million gallons.\n\nWith storage of 2,000 million gallons and taking the direct drainage Area only, a supply of 6½ million gallons per day would be ensured throughout the driest known period. As the existing temporary intake works produce approximately 21 million gallons per day, this would mean an addition of approximately 4 million gallons of gravity water per day to the Colony's",

O. 8 in 3245/22.\n\nHONG KONG\n\nShing Mun Valley Waterworks Scheme.\n\nNo. 4\n\n1929.\n\nThe Honourable The Colonial Secretary,\n\nI have the honour to forward a report by Mr. Henderson on 8. 4. 24. the Shing Mun Valley Scheme.\n\n2. The report shows that by the full development of the existing water supply of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Waterworks an approximate yield during the dry weather period of 11 million gallons per day for Hong Kong and 4 million gallons per day for Kowloon would be available, whilst with the completion of the works now under construction it is estimated that 9 million gallons and 24 million gallons per day respectively will be available during the dry weather period.\n\n3. The graph attached to the report indicates that with an unrestricted supply the demand is rapidly approaching the total dry weather supply that will be available.\n\n4. Under the circumstances, owing to the abnormal development of Kowloon, it becomes a matter of some urgency that early steps should be taken to augment the water supply on the Mainland.\n\n5. The full development of the Shing Mun Valley Scheme will not be necessary for some years, but a commencement with a portion of the 1st Section of the Scheme should be made as a precaution against a shortage in the Water Supply during a possible drought during the next two or three years.\n\n6. If immediate sanction could be obtained for this portion of the 1st Section of the Scheme, and the work were commenced at once, it could not be completed before June of 1926. I would therefore urge that this part of the Scheme may be let on Tender undertaken at once pending the consideration of the whole Scheme.\n\n7. The approximate estimate for the full development of the Shing Mun Valley Scheme is $17,000,000.00.\n\n8. The Low Level Sections of the Scheme estimated to cost $6,500,000.00 might well be deferred for the present, and the Gravitation Sections alone could be considered and proceeded with in due course. The Gravity Sections are estimated to cost approximately $10,250,000.00.\n\n9. The portion of the 1st Section of the works recommended to be undertaken without delay is estimated to cost $2,000,000.00 and consists of:-\n\nAccess Road-Pineapple Pass\n\nIntake Dam & temporary Conduit\n\n33",

With the completion of these works, the water supply for Kowloon would be in a position to meet any demand, which might be created by a drought during the next few years, whilst without such augmentation of the present supply the position might become serious.\n\n11. The requirements of Hong Kong Island itself during a year of average rainfall will for the present be satisfactorily met on the completion of the works in hand, though during a drought only a restricted supply can be made available. It will be noted that a portion of the 1st Section of the Shing Mun Scheme provides for the augmentation of the Hong Kong Island Supply by a trunk main through the Kowloon Peninsula and across the Harbour, but this portion of the Scheme is dependent upon the 1st portion of the 1st Section of the Scheme, which, it is hoped, may be undertaken early so as to permit of the whole of the 1st Section being completed within the next few years.\n\nHarold T. Creasy\n\nD. P. W.\n\n15. 4. 24.\n\nReport on the Shing Mun Valley Waterworks Scheme by Mr. R. M. Henderson, M. Inst. C. E., Chartered Civil Engineer.\n\nPopulation\n\nOwing to disturbances in Canton and the Province of Kwong Tung, Hong Kong has become a sanctuary for many thousands of refugees. Many of these refugees return to their homes, but quite a large proportion find the conditions in Hong Kong so much to their liking that they remain and make their permanent homes here, with the result that the populations of Victoria and Kowloon have increased at an abnormal rate, and restriction of water supply has had to be resorted to.\n\nSupplies\n\nThe present calculated capacities of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Existing Water Works during the minimum recorded dry period are roughly 8 million gallons and 12 million gallons per day respectively, and works now under construction will raise these quantities to roughly 9 million gallons and 2 million gallons per day respectively. The full development of the Island Catchment Areas will only yield barely another 2 million gallons per day, making a total of not quite 11 million gallons per day as their ultimate capacity. The full development of the existing Kowloon Catchment Areas can only raise the existing supply to roughly 4 million gallons per day.\n\nIt will be seen from the accompanying graph of consumption that, without restriction, the normal consumption during 1921 for Hong Kong might be estimated at fully 10 million gallons per day and for Kowloon about 3 million gallons per day figures which nearly approach the ultimate capacities of our existing Catchment Areas when fully developed.\n\nInvestigation\n\nIn 1921 investigations of new sources of supply were commenced and in 1922 a short Report was submitted making original proposals, which included the complete development of the Shing Mun River Valley and Southern Slopes of Taimoshan Mountain. These rough proposals were approved by Executive Council and in July 1923 after further surveys had been completed a further detailed report was submitted (when it was decided to proceed with the work.)\n\nDescription\n\nThe Scheme consists of the complete development of the Shing Mun Valley from Lead Mine Pass to the sea and the Southern and Eastern Slopes of Taimoshan, a mountain 3,130 ft. in height. It will include nine storage reservoirs varying in capacity from 55 million gallons to 1,700 million gallons, aggregating a total storage of 4,500 million gallons and draining approximately 13 sq. miles of catchment area, a large proportion of which is included by means of catch waters. The water will be conveyed by means of gravity tunnels and conduits to the filter beds situated in the lower Sheklaipui Valley and from there by pipe lines to Kowloon and Hong Kong.\n\nThe scheme as outlined is estimated to give a daily supply of 17 million gallons per day during the driest known period.\n\nDam No. 1, T. W. L. 710.0., which will have a length of 890 ft. and a height of 115 ft. above the stream bed, impounding 900 million gallons, will have a direct catchment area of 2,130 acres, but, by means of catchwaters discharging through Lead Mine Pass, an extra 511 acres will be obtained. The total Catchment Area of 2,611 acres will be sufficient to fill this reservoir with 15 inches effective rainfall.\n\n35",

D., which will have a maximum length of 140 L. Ft. and a depth to stream bed of 162 ft., will impound 900 million gallons. It will have a direct catchment area of 765 acres, but by means of catchwaters running along the whole Southern face of Taimoshan and discharging through Pineapple Pass, an additional Catchment Area of 2,575 acres will be obtained. The total Catchment Area of 3,310 acres will be sufficient to fill this reservoir with 12 inches of effective rainfall.\n\nInside the direct Catchment Area of Dam No. 2, Dam No. 2A, 250 ft. long and 100 ft. in depth to stream bed, impounding 185 million gallons, will be constructed.\n\nOn the Southern Slopes of Taimoshan inside the Indirect Catchment Area of Dam No. 2, there are sites for two small reservoirs, Dams No. 3 & No. 4 at levels of 1,025 O. D. and 1,000 O. D. and impounding 200 million gallons and 137 million gallons respectively. These reservoirs, as well as providing economical storage, will act as rainfall-equalising reservoirs and will allow of considerable reduction in the carrying capacity and thereby in the cost of the long catchwater discharging through Pineapple Pass.\n\nFrom Dam No. 2 an open conduit approx. 2,800 L. Ft. long at a level of 485 A. O. D. will be constructed along the Western side of the Valley to the North Tunnel Gauge Basin.\n\nThe North Tunnel approx. 2,160 L. Ft. in length will pierce Smugglers' Ridge and emerge in the valley above Gin Drinkers' Bay, discharging into the South Conduit.\n\nSouth Conduit\n\nGolden Hill\n\nor South Tunnel\n\nReception Reservoir\n\nFilter Beds\n\n& Service Reservoir\n\nTrunk Mains\n\nto Kowloon\n\nThe South Conduit which will be approx. 2,000 ft. in length will connect the South end of the North Tunnel and the North end of the South Tunnel.\n\nThe South Tunnel approx. 4,680 L. Ft. in length will pierce the Golden Hill and discharge into a Reception Reservoir situated in the lower Sheklaipui Valley immediately above the Filter Beds and Service Reservoir sites.\n\nBetween the Filter Beds Site and the end of the South Tunnel a Reception Reservoir will be formed with an overflow into the Proposed Kowloon Byewash Reservoir thereby making the Shing Mun water available through the existing works.\n\nAs the Shing Mun Water is of a high standard of initial purity and there is not sufficient area to install slow sand filter beds, the water will be dealt with by fast gravity or pressure filters and will discharge into a Concrete Service Reservoir of approx. 5 million gallons capacity.\n\nFrom\n\nTrunk mains will run by way of one of the back streets of the Shamshuipo Reclamation, Coronation and Nathan Roads to Tsim Sha Tsui feeding a new Service Reservoir at Pipers' Hill on the way. The pipes will cross the Harbour to Jackson Road and then by way of Jackson Road, Parade Ground and Garden Road will reach the Public Gardens where a Service Reservoir with approx. T W.L. of 300 O. D. will be constructed. Considerable alteration will then be required in the City Distribution System.\n\nGravity\n\nSection of\n\nScheme\n\nThe foregoing or Gravity section of the Scheme will give an average supply of approx. 11 million gallons per day throughout the driest known period and, when this consumption is reached, the low level reservoirs will require to be put in hand.\n\n1\n\nDam No. 5, T. W. L 250 O. D., having a length of 502 L. Ft. and a depth to stream bed of 100 ft, will impound 400 million gallons. With a catchment area of 502 acres it will take 35 inches of effective rainfall to fill it without overflow from the upper reservoirs, but, if thought necessary, this area can be nearly doubled by means of a small catchwater.\n\nDam No. 6 will be situated immediately on the upstream site of Tai Wai Village and will have a top water level of approx. 100 A. O. D. It will be 1,740 L. Ft. in length with a total depth to stream bed of 85 ft. and will impound approx. 1,700 million gallons. The direct catchment area available for this reservoir is 1,203 acres, but by means of catchwaters a further 816 acres is made available, making 2,019 acres in all. Approx. 37 effective inches of rainfall are necessary to fill this reservoir without any overflow from the upper reservoirs.\n\nStation & Ris-\n\nThe Pumping Station will be situated below Dam No. 6 and the Pumping Rising or Pumping Mains will follow the Access Road along the South side of the valley to the gauge basin at the tunnel mouth, a distance of approx. 2.3 miles.\n\nBay\n\nIn the Gin Drinkers' Bay Valley there are two possible sites for a very large reservoir, but surface indications do not promise well for foundations at a reasonable depth. If however either site on investigation should prove feasible, storage of between two and three thousand million gallons could be obtained in a position easily accessible to the main scheme. The water from this reservoir would be pumped to the South Conduit between the tunnels.\n\nAn Access Road 16 ft. wide having a maximum gradient of 1 in 16 will run from the Castle Peak Road at Tsun Wan to Pineapple Pass then down the Shing Mun Valley to join the Taipo Road above Shatin with a branch running North from Pineapple Pass to Dam No. 1. The portion of the road from Dam No. 6 to Dam No. 2 will serve a double purpose, as the pumping mains will be laid along it. The total length of this road when completed will be 6 miles.\n\nThe foregoing gives the broad outlines of the Scheme with approximate areas and storage capacities as far as they can be ascertained from the information now available. It is however certain that as the work proceeds and further information is obtained considerable modification will require to be made.\n\nThe works will be constructed in the following order: --\n\nOrder of Construction\n\n1st. Section. Access Road to Pineapple Pass approx. two miles in length, small intake dam on Shing Mun River with temporary pipeline, North Conduit, Smugglers' Ridge or North Tunnel, South Conduit between tunnels, Golden Hill or South Tunnel, Reception Reservoir, 1st. section of filter beds, service reservoir, trunk main through Kowloon Peninsula across harbour to Public Gardens, and Service Reservoirs in Public Gardens, Hong Kong, and Pipers' Hill, Kowloon.\n\n2nd. Section. Continuation of Access Road to Dams Nos. 1 and 2, construction of Dam Nos. 1, 2, and 3A, Catchwaters discharging through Lead Mine Pass, 2nd section of Filter Beds, and Second Trunk Main to Kowloon &c.\n\n3rd. Section. Catchwaters draining areas A, B, C, D, & E, on the Southern Slopes of Taimoshan discharging through Pineapple Pass, Dams Nos. 3 & 4 & 3rd. Section of Filter Beds.\n\n37",

I am advised that it would not be wise to adopt the complete scheme without first obtaining the best technical advice, and that in view of the magnitude of the scheme it is desirable that a consulting engineer should be sent out from this country to report on it. I should be glad to learn your views on this suggestion.\n\nProcedure\n\nWork in hand\n\nLay-out Plan\n\nAs prices are steadily rising, it is most probable that the above figure will be exceeded.\n\nIt is proposed to proceed with the work in the different sections as the water is required, and the First Section is now in hand.\n\nThe 1st. Section of the Access Road from Tsun Wan to Pineapple Pass about two miles in length is now under construction, while tenders have been called for the North and South Tunnels and South Conduit. Further Contracts for Pipers' Hill Service Reservoir and the Raw Water Reception Reservoir will be let before the end of the year.\n\nThe accompanying small scale General Lay-out Plan shows the General Outline of the Scheme, whilst the Consumption Graph attached indicates the abnormal rise in consumption during the last ten years.\n\nR.

The water supply from existing sources is barely sufficient for the needs of the present population in the most favourable circumstances: a spell of dry weather of any duration involves the restriction of the supply of water, and a prolonged drought such as occurred last year gives cause for very considerable anxiety.\n\n3. The population of the Colony is increasing very rapidly and it is in my opinion essential that steps should be taken as soon as possible to provide for adequate supplies of water in the future. The Scheme now proposed will provide for our needs for many years to come.\n\nIt is admittedly expensive but the expense is unavoidable and, as the cost of labour and materials is continuously increasing, it will only be increased by delay in beginning the works. I would urge therefore that the first part of the scheme should be completed without loss of time and I should be very glad to receive by telegraph your approval of this scheme.\n\nSir,\n\nWith reference to your despatch No. 181 of the 13th June, 1924, I have the honour to inform you that all the details of the subsequent sections of the Shing Mun Valley Water Works Scheme are not yet completed but when these are obtained, the question of referring them to a Consulting Engineer for confirmation and approval will be duly considered,\n\nI have etc.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nJ.

Colonial Secretary.\n\nI forward a report by Mr. Henderson upon the 2nd section of the Shing Mun Scheme together with the accompanying plans.\n\n2. At the time that the Secretary of State sanctioned the 1st section of this scheme in June 1924 it was requested that before any further section of the Shing Mun Scheme were undertaken the Scheme as a whole should be submitted for the consideration of the Consulting Engineers.\n\n3. Mr. Henderson being at present in England, is in a position to give any further detailed particulars in regard to his report that the Consulting Engineers may require. Whatever decision is come to in regard to proceeding with other sections of the Shing Mun Scheme the Gorge Dam must necessarily be the next work to be undertaken, and a large amount of work is still necessary for further investigations before the exact position of the Dam site can be decided upon.\n\n4. The 1st section of the Shing Mun Scheme on the mainland including the Cross Harbour Pipe is now practically completed. The only item of work remaining is the Garden Service Reservoir which will be undertaken when the more urgent works now in hand are sufficiently advanced to permit of the staff dealing with it, probably not before 1931.\n\n5. Since the completion of the Cross Harbour Pipe the Island Supply has been very usefully augmented. The Storage Reservoirs on the Island are at present only called upon to provide 5 million gallons per day to the City Supply.\n\n6. The Bye Wash Reservoir now under construction (sanctioned by Secretary of State in his telegram of 4.3.29—U.S.O. 11 in 3245/22) forms the very valuable connecting link between the 1st and 2nd sections of the Scheme and this work now under construction is due to be completed early in 1931.\n\n7. From investigations already carried out the original proposals for the 2nd section of the Shing Mun Scheme will require amendment. Mr. Henderson's latest proposal is to construct one large dam known as the Gorge Dam in lieu of the three dams originally proposed—the other items of the 2nd section remaining unchanged—these items are all dealt with in detail in his report.\n\n8. The details of the 3rd and 4th sections are given in Mr. Henderson's original report, (Sessional Paper No. 4/1929).\n\n9. From the information already obtained in regard to the proposed reservoir, at Gin Drinkers Bay (5th section) the prospects of a satisfactory site for a dam are not very promising.\n\n8th May, 1930.\n\nHAROLD T.

        "content_text": "Report.\n\n1st Section Costs.\n\nExisting Kowloon Supply.\n\nByewash Dam.\n\nIsland Supply.\n\nReport on Shing Mun Scheme-Second Section.\n\nIn April 1924, I submitted a general report on a scheme for the complete development of the Shing Mun Valley and Southern slopes of Taimoshan Mountain, dividing the scheme into five sections. I recommended that these sections be undertaken as additional water was required in Hong Kong or Kowloon, as with a pipe line across the harbour, the water would be available both to the mainland and the island.\n\nIn June 1924, the 1st Section of the Scheme was approved by the Secretary of State with the proviso that before any further Sections were commenced the Scheme should be submitted to him and be passed by his technical advisers.\n\nThe 1st Section of the Scheme as set forth in the report comprised the following works :—\n\n  \n    Estimated Cost\n    Actual Cost\n  \n  \n    Access Road\n    100,000\n    122,345.79\n  \n  \n    Intake Dam & Temporary pipe line of conduit..\n    \n    73,269.63\n  \n  \n    North Conduit\n    135,000\n    72,028.07\n  \n  \n    North & South Tunnels & South Conduit\n    1,100,000\n    1,073,644.13\n  \n  \n    Reception Reservoir\n    175,000\n    164,273.88\n  \n  \n    Filter Beds (1st Section)\n    200,000\n    206,390.27\n  \n  \n    Sheklaipui Service Reservoir (Kowloon)\n    400,000\n    350,000*\n  \n  \n    Trunk Main\n    700,000\n    500,000*\n  \n  \n    Cross Harbour Pipe\n    800,000\n    260,000*\n  \n  \n    Public Gardens Service Reservoir (Hong Kong)\n    400,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Pipers Hill Service Reservoir (Kowloon)\n    140,000\n    136,699.97\n  \n\n*Approximate Costs.\n\nAll the above Works are now completed with the exception of Sheklaipui Service Reservoir and The Public Gardens Service Reservoir. The former should be sufficiently advanced to allow of one side being brought into use in about another month, but the latter has been held over meantime owing to the necessity of proceeding with more urgent works.\n\nWith the completion of these Works, the total supply available in Kowloon is about five million gallons per day.\n\nLast year the Byewash Dam below the existing Kowloon Reservoir was commenced and should be completed early in 1931. With this additional Reservoir, the water available in Kowloon will be about 5.66 million gallons per day.\n\nThe existing supply on the Island is rated at 7.4 million gallons per day, but with the addition of the Aberdeen Valley Scheme, now under construction, this figure will be raised to 9.37 million gallons per day by the middle of 1932.\n\nWith the linking of the Kowloon and Hong Kong Supplies by the Cross Harbour Pipe, the capacity of the two Supplies can now, up to a point, be calculated as one.\n\nWith works now in hand the total supply available to the Colony (apart from Village Supplies) in 1932 will be 5.66 and 9.37 million gallons per day from Kowloon and Hong Kong respectively, or a total of 15.03 million gallons per day.\n\nIn my report on the Water Supply of the Colony dated 20th February, 1928, I estimated the requirements of Kowloon and Hong Kong in 1932 at 4.9 and 11.6 million gallons per day, or a total of 16.5 million gallons per day.\n\nThere will therefore be a shortage of 1.5 million gallons per day in 1932 after allowing for the completion of all works now under construction, so that further extensions are necessary.\n\nThe next extension to be undertaken to give any considerable quantity of water would appear to be the Second Section of the Shing Mun Scheme which was calculated to give an additional supply of about four million gallons per day and cost $4,750,000.\n\nThe Second Section of the Shing Mun Scheme as set forth in my original report comprises the following works :-\n\nAccess Road (Continuation).\n\nDam No. 1 (Shing Mun Village Dam).\n\nDam No. 2 (Shing Mun Gorge Dam).\n\nDam No. 2A (Needle Hill Dam)\n\nCatchwaters discharging through Lead Mine Pass.\n\nFilter Beds (Extension).\n\n24\" Pipe line (Duplication).\n\nThe lay out of the Access Road is contingent on the number, size and position of the reservoirs to be built so cannot be dealt with until the position and size of the reservoirs are settled.\n\nDam No. 1 or Shing Mun Village Dam. This Dam from the first has been somewhat problematical owing to its great length in comparison with its storage capacity, and surface indications on the West side were not favourable. The trial pits and cuttings which have been made show the rock to be rather deep on the West Side but fairly near the surface on the East Side.\n\nDrawing No. 4 shows the estimated foundation levels and sections for a Dam at this site having a Top Water Level of 710 A.O.D. a maximum depth of water of 150 feet and a maximum depth to bottom of foundations of 168 feet. Such a dam would impound approx. 1,000 million gallons and I estimate would cost $4,200,000 to construct giving a unit rate of $4,200 per million gallons.\n\nDam No. 2 or Shing Mun Gorge Dam. The Shing Mun Gorge has all the appearance of a most excellent Dam Site but on closer inspection it has not been found so favourable, as there is a rather steep fall in the river bed at this point. The capacity of the reservoir is also disappointing owing to the basin being very narrow with almost precipitous sides.\n\nA Dam with a Top Water Level of 565 A.O.D. would impound 1,000 million gallons and would cost approx. $2,500,000 to construct giving a unit rate of $2,500 per million gallons.\n\nComparing the above two dams it is seen that the unit cost per million gallons of Dam No. 1 is very much greater than the cost at Dam No. 2 and both work out fairly expensive in comparison with existing reservoirs.\n\nPage 48",

I estimate it would cost $4,700,000 to construct or at the rate of $2,350 per mill. galls.\n\nDam on Line C.C, slightly above Dam B.B. would have a max. depth of water of 190 ft. a max. depth to bottom of foundations of 245 ft. and impound approx. 2,000 mill. galls. I estimate it would cost $4,400,000 to construct or at the rate of $2,200 per mill. galls.\n\nDam on Line D.D. is slightly above Dam C.C. and is just outside the gorge. This dam would have a max. depth of water of 182 ft. have a max. depth to bottom of foundations of 220 ft. and would impound a little less than 2,000 mill. galls. I estimate the cost of construction would be $4,550,000 or at the rate of $2,275 per mill. galls.\n\nAs the level of line Apple Pass is 542 A.O.D. I have included in the above estimates $250,000 which I estimate as the cost of the necessary dam at that point.\n\nIt would appear from the above figures that it would be much cheaper to eliminate the Village Dam Reservoir and raise the Gorge Dam to a Top Water level of about 600 A.O.D., and thus secure the 2,000 mill. galls, storage in one reservoir.\n\nWith storage of 2,000 mill. galls, and taking the direct drainage Area only.\n\na supply of 6 mill, galls. per day would be ensured throughout the driest known period. As the existing temporary intake works produce approx. 2 mill. galls. per day, this would mean an addition of approx. 4 mill, galls. of gravity water per day to the Colony's supply.\n\nOf the three Dam Sites discussed above, from the information now available I would favour the Site on Line D.D., although this does not work out the cheapest Dam.\n\nDam No. 2A or Needle Hill Dam. With the raising of the Top Water Level of the Gorge Dam to about 600 A.O.D. a large portion of the basin of Needle Hill Reservoir is included in the Gorge Dam Reservoir.\n\nFor this reason and also owing to the fact that on closer investigation this Site has not proved so favourable as at one time hoped for, I would recommend that this dam be abandoned.\n\nThe catchwaters discharging through Lead Mine Pass present no particular difficulties apart from their being situated at a very high level and are therefore somewhat inaccessible. They should be put in hand while the Reservoir is under construction, but are not so urgent.\n\nThe filter beds will be an extension of the existing plant and should be dealt with early. The existing plant has been designed to allow of extension when necessary.\n\nA second pipe line should not be required until the Reservoir is almost completed, so need not be considered at the moment.\n\nReservoir.\n\nShing Mun Scheme-Fifth Section. With a view to getting some little idea of the possibilities of the Gin Drinkers Bay Reservoir Site, I have had a series of bore holes put down along the line of the Lower Dam Site, but with very disappointing results.\n\nThe bores show that bedrock is only reached at a depth of about sixty feet, and that, over a large section of the Dam. The cost of a dam on this site would appear excessive.\n\nBorings are proceeding on the upper site which it is hoped will prove more favourable.\n\nIt is not improbable, however, that both sites at Gin Drinkers Bay may prove unfavourable, thus cutting out large potential storage.\n\nIt would appear, therefore, that the upper Shing Mun Valley should be developed to the utmost and, to do this, the Gorge Dam should be made of as great a height as is consistent with safety.\n\nDrawings accompanying this report.\n\nR.

Upon the receipt of your letter we asked Mr. R. M. Henderson, of the Public Works Department, Hong Kong, who prepared the Shing Mun Valley Scheme, to inform us to what extent the Colonial Government wished the Consulting Engineers to accept responsibility for the scheme. He was, however, unable to say what exactly were the Colony's intentions in the matter. We then arranged a conference at this office which was attended by Mr. W. J. E. Binnie and Mr. H. J. F. Gourley, partners in the firm of Sir Alex. Binnie Son & Deacon, and Mr. Henderson, when the whole question was thoroughly discussed.\n\n3. We now enclose a copy of a letter dated 17th September which we have received from Messrs. Sir Alex Binnie Son & Deacon, wherein they state that they would be pleased to act as Consulting Engineers for the scheme and wherein they outline the fees they would propose to charge on the following alternative assumptions.\n\n(a) The Colonial Government to prepare all surveys, drawings, contract documents etc. which would be submitted to the Consulting Engineers for approval before the work is proceeded with, the work to be supervised by the Colonial Government, who will retain the right to refer to the Consulting Engineers for advice on all technical matters.\n\n(b) The Consulting Engineers to accept full responsibility for the whole of the works including...\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE.",

Under (b) above their fees would be 5% on expenditure up to £250,000 and 4¼% on the remainder, plus the cost of partners' visits.\n\n4.\n\nThe Consulting Engineers consider, and we agree, that a visit to the Colony by one of the partners is an essential preliminary before any steps can be taken to proceed with the work. Mr. Gourley intends to visit Singapore this autumn, while Mr. Henderson is due to return to the Colony on November 28th, and we think it is very desirable that Mr. Gourley should, on the completion of his visit to Singapore, proceed to Hong Kong so as to arrive there at the same time as Mr. Henderson. Under this arrangement the cost to the Colonial Government of a preliminary visit would be a fee of £150 plus travelling, hotel and out-of-pocket expenses. It is, however, important that a decision regarding this visit should be reached at the earliest possible date as Mr. Gourley is unable to defer indefinitely his contemplated visit to Singapore.\n\n5.\n\nWe should like to make it clear that the suggested preliminary visit by a partner is essential whichever of the two alternatives in paragraph 3 is adopted, and we think that a decision as to the measure of responsibility which the Consulting Engineers should accept can very well be left until Mr. Gourley is in Hong Kong and is in a position to discuss the matter with the Colonial Government.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nJ.

The letter asks us to have the scheme examined by the Consulting Engineers.\n\n2. The Shing Mun Valley Scheme for increasing the supply of water to Hong Kong and Kowloon involves a total expenditure of $17,000,000. The first section of the scheme, which was authorised in 1924, has been completed at a cost approaching $3,000,000. The second section, which it is now proposed to proceed with, will involve a further expenditure of $4,750,000.\n\nAlthough the advice of Mr. W. Fairley, M. Inst.C.E. was sought in connection with the project of laying pipes across Hong Kong Harbour, the Shing Mun Valley Scheme as a whole has never been submitted to Consulting Engineers for criticism.\n\nApart from the expenditure involved, the second section of the scheme will necessitate the construction of masonry dams of considerable height, and in a minute dated 28th May 1924, on Colonial Office papers 23724, we expressed the opinion that it did not seem wise to adopt so large a scheme without obtaining the best technical advice, and this we gather from your letter under acknowledgement has now been agreed to.\n\n3. We suggest that the firm of Sir Alex. Binnie Son & Deacon should be employed for this work, and if you agree, we\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE.",

The first pipe was laid by the Contractors on the 17th of December, 1929, and the whole of the submarine pipes was laid by the 17th of February, 1930, a period of fifty-seven working days excluding holidays at Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year.\n\n6. The pipe line was tested after each joint on the harbour bed was made and the final pressure test was very satisfactory.\n\n7. The connections between the submarine and land pipes at the Kowloon and Hong Kong ends were completed on the 23rd of February and from that date to the 31st of March anchor blocks, piles, major protective measures, and general testing of the pipe line were carried out.\n\n8. Although the pipe line is now in operation, work of a protective nature along the harbour bed is being carried out and the pipe is being kept under close observation before it is finally handed over to the Maintenance Department.\n\n9. The estimated cost was $300,000 and the final actual cost will be approximately $260,000.\n\n10.

        "content_text": "# MORE WATER FOR HONGKONG\n## NEW SUPPLY FROM MAINLAND OPENED BY HIS EXCELLENCY YESTERDAY\n### AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT\n\nHis Excellency the Officer Administering the Government had the pleasure of performing a most interesting public duty yesterday, when he officially opened the Harbour Pipe-line, as a result of which Hongkong itself will be supplied with water from the Shing Mun Valley.\n\nYesterday's ceremony crowned twelve months' unstinted effort on the part of Mr. Henderson, the Assistant Director of Public Works, and his staff, who have much cause for congratulation on the success of their work. Tributes were paid to them by the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, the Director of Public Works and H. E. Mr. W. T. Southorn.\n\nThe first part of the ceremony was carried out at Queen's Pier, where Mr. Southorn was met by the Director of Public Works, and Mr. R. M. Henderson, his Assistant, who is in charge of the Water Works. His Excellency was accompanied by Mrs. Southorn, together with Sir Henry Pollock, Sir Shouson Chow, Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe, (Inspector General of Police), members of the P.W.D., and Legislative Council.\n\n## A Proud Achievement\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Creasy then presented Mr. Henderson and his staff to His Excellency, in the course of which he said: \"Your Excellencies, Mrs. Southorn, Ladies and Gentlemen,- Before having the honour of presenting to you Mr. Henderson, the Assistant Director of Public Works in charge of special Water Works construction, I should like to say that Mr. Henderson, during the whole of his service, has been engaged upon the many schemes of Water Works extensions carried out during that period and for the last ten years he has been in charge of the Water Works of the Colony.\n\n\"He was particularly associated with the first section of the Shing Mun Scheme which was sanctioned by the Secretary of State in June, 1924, and of which the Harbour Pipe Line formed an important part. Many portions of the Scheme have already been completed viz: - The Intake Reservoir, The Tunnels and Conduit, The Reception Reservoir, The Mechanical Filtration Plant, The Land Pipe Line conveying the Shing Mun River water to Kowloon Point, The Service Reservoir now under construction and lastly the Harbour Pipe Line now completed and connected with the Hongkong City Mains.\n\n\"To have brought works of such magnitude to a successful completion is an achievement of which any Civil Engineer might well be proud.\n\n### Difficulties and Delay\n\nThough other portions of the Scheme were proceeded with there was considerable delay in deciding the method that should be adopted for the Harbour Pipe Crossing, more elaborate and expensive schemes were proposed and indeed it was suggested that the Pipe should be laid in the often proposed Tunnel under the Harbour if, and when, constructed.\n\nMr. Henderson's proposals for the Harbour Crossing were recommended and referred to the Consulting Engineers to the Crown Agents. Early in 1929 Mr. Henderson proceeded Home to consult with both Prophet and Sage and he \"heard great argument about it and about\" with the result that his method was approved and he hurried back to put the work in hand.\n\nIn spite of difficulties augmented by the late delivery of materials (the prompt delivery of which had been promised) this work has been brought to a successful completion at a cost of $260,000 which is considerably under the original estimate.\n\n## The Pipe Line\n\nThe total length of the Harbour Pipe Line from Kowloon to Hongkong is 5,914 ft., or nearly 1 1/8 miles.\n\nThe internal diameter of the Lapwelded Steel pipe is 12.265″ or approximately 12 1/4″, it is 7/16″ thick and is protected by double Hessian wrapping impregnated with hot bitumastic solution. The Pipe Line is made up of 63 sections with 66 Albion loose flange joints and was manufactured by Messrs. Stewart and Lloyds, Glasgow.\n\nThere are 23 flexible ball and socket joints and 4 valves, these specials being provided by Messrs. Glenfield and Kennedy.\n\n| Description | Quantity | Weight/Details |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Anchor blocks | 15 | 17 tons each |\n| Reinforced Cement Concrete anchor piles | 11 pairs |  |\n| Rubble foundations |  | 1,370 ft. (total length) |\n\nFifteen anchor blocks each weighing 17 tons and 11 pairs of Reinforced Cement Concrete anchor piles have been fixed along the Pipe Line. The total length of the rubble foundations (in various portions) is 1,370 ft.",

        "content_text": "## Three Divers Engaged on the Work\n\nThree divers were engaged on the work, two from North China, under the supervision of the Government Diver, Mr. Petroff, and the actual laying occupied 57 days, the average rate of progress being over one hundred feet per day.\n\nThe discharging capacity of the Harbour Pipe is 34 million gallons per day at 280 ft. above sea level, at which height the Garden Service Reservoir is to be built. At lower levels the discharging capacity would be increased.\n\n## Satisfactory Tests\n\nI have received a Report from Mr. Henderson upon the exceedingly satisfactory results of the final pressure test upon the whole Harbour Pipe Line before it was connected to the Land Sections, and in the Report he acknowledges the very valuable assistance he has received from the Port Development Office, of which Mr. Adam Anderson is in charge, and from the Water Works Maintenance Office, now in charge of Mr. Purves, who was previously closely associated with Mr. Henderson on the first section of the Shing Mun Scheme. He further reports that the Netherlands Harbour Works Company (whose representatives are present to-day) carried through their Contract in a very efficient and satisfactory manner, and last, but not least, he very highly commends Mr. Woodward, the Engineer who was in charge of this work, for the marked ability and energy which he has displayed throughout and also Mr. Petroff, the Overseeing Diver, who has worked very long hours under very trying conditions.\n\n## Opening Ceremony\n\nYour Excellency, on behalf of the Public Works Department, I would thank you for so graciously coming here to-day to perform the ceremony of opening the valves connecting the Harbour Pipe Line with the Hongkong Water supply and thus enabling this thirsty Island to obtain some of the superfluous water from the mainland.\n\n## H.E.'s Speech\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Southorn, then shook hands with Mr. Henderson and other gentlemen, after which he descended to a gangway, erected below the pier, where he opened the wash out valve which discharges the water obtained from the Shing Mun River. He addressed the gathering in the following words:\n\nMr. Creasy, I have the greatest pleasure in accepting your invitation to open the valves which will admit the water of the Shing Mun River to the Island of Hongkong.\n\nTo-day we see the dream of many years made true, with possibilities far beyond the present reality. At present we are dependent on the immediate flow of the Shing Mun River for our additional supply to Hongkong, and until we have large storage reservoirs on the Kowloon side we shall not have made the Hongkong water supply safe. One reservoir is already under construction, and we hope before long to be able to make a start with the larger and more important reservoir in the Shing Mun Valley. But these reservoirs would be useless without the cross-harbour pipe.\n\nThe design of the pipe-line, as Mr. Creasy has remarked, has been the subject of much controversy, and the Government found it necessary to send Mr. Henderson to England to discuss the plans with the best expert advisers at home. The result must have been very gratifying to Mr. Henderson, whose design was accepted with very slight modifications. There is an admitted danger in this design, namely that the pipe might be damaged by careless navigation or by a ship dragging its anchor in a typhoon, but we consider the risk one which it is worth our while to take in view of the great saving of expense, and on Mr. Henderson's assurance that repair should be only a matter of a few weeks.\n\nMr. Creasy, I offer to Mr. Henderson and yourself and to all those connected with you in the work, our heartiest congratulations on the successful completion of the cross-harbour pipe. It reflects the greatest credit on all concerned, and I tender the heartiest thanks of the Colony to the engineers, divers, contractors and all others who have combined to carry out this work so expeditiously and at so reasonable a cost. I wish for this pipe a long life of usefulness to the people of Hongkong, and I can assure you that even the pipes of Pan could produce no sweeter music in Hongkong's ears than the music of running water in Mr. Henderson's pipes.\n\n## City Hall Fountain Plays\n\nAfter closing the wash out valve, His Excellency and party made their way to the junction of Queen's Road Central and Wardley Avenue, via Statue Square, where he opened the valve connecting the Cross Harbour Pipe with the City mains. His action charged the City Hall fountain with Shing Mun River water, which was brought into play, the large crowd present applauding delightedly.\n\nImmediately after performing the function, His Excellency and Mrs. Southorn drove back to Government House.\n\nThe occasion created the deepest interest and there were large crowds at both Queen's Pier and the City Hall. The Traffic Department of the Police Headquarters, under the direction of Inspector Alexander, patrolled the main thoroughfare between the two points, and through traffic was suspended for a short interval.\n\nPage 193",

With regard to the second paragraph of your letter under acknowledgment, we enclose a copy of our letter of the 13th October to Messrs.

We consider that the obligations of the Colonial Government are limited to the payment of the fee of £1,500, and there is no necessity for the Colonial Government to subsequently employ the Consulting Engineers in connection with the execution of the works, although we think they would be well advised to do so.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour obedient Servant,  \nThe Under Secretary of State,  \nColonial Office.\n\nWat wichhart  \nfor Crown Agents.\n\nPage 26",

COMMERCIAL COUNSELLOR, SHANGHAI.\n\nApril 5, 1930.\n\nWith reference to your despatch No. 44 (6/5/W) of November 20th last transmitting copy of a despatch from the Foreign Office enclosing correspondence with the Ministry of Health with regard to the regulations governing the importation of articles of food into the United Kingdom, I have the honour to report that I duly called on Mr. P.W. Tsou and communicated to him the substance of the Ministry of Health's letter. Mr. Tsou was quite friendly and although at that time (early in January) the Bureau for Inspection and Testing of Commercial Commodities was not fully organised, he conducted me over the premises and outlined the work which was proposed to be done in regard to the testing of Cotton, Silk, Egg and Food products, etc.\n\nMr. Tsou of course requested my assistance in obtaining the recognition by the Health Authorities at home of the certificates issued by his Bureau as being certificates issued by \"a competent authority in the country of origin\".\n\nI asked Mr. Tsou how he was going to get over the difficulty of lard and other food products brought down to Shanghai for export from other parts of the country: Mr. Tsou said that they hoped to establish a slaughter-house on modern lines with veterinary inspection at Jukao, an important centre of the pig industry in this province, and also that they intended to send travelling inspectors throughout the country with a view to improving conditions.\n\nI asked whether there were any Chinese Municipal slaughter-houses as I would like to see how the examination was actually carried out. Mr. Tsou replied that while it was hoped that such slaughter-houses would be erected in due course, at present there were none in existence, but that he would arrange for me to see a Cannery and a Lard Factory.\n\nAccordingly a few days later, in company with Mr. Tsou and Dr. Evangelista, a Philippine veterinary surgeon attached to the Bureau, I visited the Tai Foong Canned Goods Co., on Ferry Road, and the Yung Tai Chang lard factory, 21 Woosung Road.\n\nThe Tai Foong Co. is a well-known Chinese concern which does a big business in hams and canned pig products. I was favourably impressed with the cleanliness of the place and the conditions under which the live pigs were kept, but no work was being done at the time and I was unable to have a practical demonstration as to how the veterinary examination is carried out.\n\nThe Yung Tai Chang lard factory is a typical old-fashioned Chinese hong, but there also work was over for the day and I was unable to see the processes in the manufacture of lard, although there was a general air of cleanliness about the premises.\n\nI felt that these visits had not served any very useful...\n\nPage 9\nPage 10\nPage 11\n\nSir,\n \nalone competent to express an opinion in the light of the facts disclosed in Mr. Jamieson's report. As regards the export of lard, Mr. Jamieson's remarks are interesting, and I venture to hope that full consideration will be given to the possibility of meeting the Chinese to some extent on the lines of the suggestion contained in the penultimate paragraph of Mr. Jamieson's despatch, if any such arrangement is feasible within the four corners of the existing legislation on the subject in the United Kingdom.\n\nI have, etc.\n(Signed) A. Francis Aveling.\nIn the absence of His Majesty's Minister.\n\nPage 7 (D9/30)\n\nCopy to H.M.

Some little time ago he wrote informing me that his Bureau were certifying lard for export to England, and subsequently at a luncheon party he brought the matter up again.\n\nI said that before I could do anything in the matter I must have some more knowledge of the conditions under which live-stock brought into Shanghai was examined and slaughtered, and it was arranged that I should have a talk with Dr. C.J. Wang, the head of the Health Department of the Municipality of Greater Shanghai.\n\nAccompanied by Dr. S.C. Cheng and Dr. Y.S. Huang of the Inspection Bureau I called on Dr. Wang at his office in Nantao. Dr. Wang commenced by showing me plans for the construction of an elaborate Municipal Slaughter-house in Chapei, costing $500,000, work on which it is hoped will be commenced in June, provided the money is forthcoming, which I venture to think is somewhat \n\nPage 11",

There were fifteen licensed slaughter-houses, he said, in the Greater Shanghai area, and to each was attached a veterinary surgeon belonging to his Department. These veterinary surgeons had been trained in the Military and Veterinary College at Peking. Any carcase which on post-mortem examination was found to be unfit for consumption was immediately destroyed. He showed me an elaborate system of daily returns of all animals slaughtered and assured me that it was quite impossible for diseased food-products to escape notice. Theoretically the system is excellent but I cannot bring myself to believe in its efficiency.\n\nSubsequent to my interview with Dr. Wang I received a letter from Mr. Tsou enclosing a communication addressed to the Ministry of Health, London, which I was asked to forward, but the next day Dr. Huang called and said it had been decided to withdraw this letter and leave the matter in my hands.\n\nDr. Huang again urged me to obtain recognition for the Bureau's certificates, especially in regard to shipments of Lard. He said that they had done everything to comply with our Health regulations and felt that there was a slight lack of reciprocity on our part.\n\n## 12.",

In this, I may have been wrong, but I was endeavouring to pave the way for a possible solution of the problem.\n\nI consulted Dr. Noel Davis and Dr. Jordan of the Shanghai Municipal Council Health Department and found that while they had no information regarding the Bureau, they did not have a very high opinion of Dr. Wang.

The statement in the enclosure to your letter to the effect that Shanghai is the only place in China having a sufficient system of meat inspection may be true, but the innuendo against the British Colony of Hong Kong is, as has been explained, wholly undeserved.\n\nAs regards the separate suggestion that certain uncertificated or even condemned hams originating from Shanghai have been sent to the Philippine Islands through this Colony, I am to inform you that on several occasions lately the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon has been approached\n\nThe Consul-General for the\nUnited States of America,\nHong Kong.",

On the other hand, if the appeal failed, it seems that we should be justified in raising the question as to whether Imperial legislation were not necessary in order to enable such persons to be convicted of piracy in Hong Kong and elsewhere in the Colonies.\n\nIn either event, therefore, an appeal to the Privy Council would have not unimportant practical results; and the point to be considered is whether we should apply for special leave to appeal. In this connection I am having the Straits Settlements case to which you referred looked up, and I will let you have the papers in due course also the Order in Council relating to appeals to the Privy Council from the Supreme Court of Hong Kong.\n\nThe difficulty, of course, in the present case is that, as Duncan pointed out at the time of the appeal, the Privy Council will only review criminal proceedings with exceptional care.\n\n74.

As to the action which should be taken, we were both of the opinion that, as an application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council would involve an appeal in a criminal matter against an acquittal, such application, after so long a delay, would be refused. Moreover, service on the respondents would, in all probability, be impossible.\n\nWe further considered that H.M.G. could not be asked, even in a matter of such importance, to pass special legislation to negative a legal doctrine propounded by the Court of Hong Kong. In view of all the circumstances, we came to the conclusion that the only action which could be taken was an attempt at a special reference to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, under section 4 of 3 and 4 William IV, Chapter 41. The application for this special reference would require careful wording, which Sir Maurice Gwyer considered should put the matter in a general way and not as an appeal from an inconvenient decision on a particular point of law.\n\nBefore making the application for a reference, the opinion of the Law Officers would have to be taken, and it was decided that Sir Maurice Gwyer should put up the case, which would then be discussed with the Legal Adviser of the Colonial Office. After agreement on its terms, it should go forward as a joint opinion of the Legal Advisers of the two Departments.\n\nBefore sailing, Mr. Bushe informed me that he considered the Court in Hong Kong was wrong in law, on the ground, I gathered, that the facts on which the accused were charged amounted to piracy.",

Chap.88 at pp.14-15 and 18-19, and that of Mr. Justice Lindsell at p.3. Of these two Judgments, I prefer the latter, which has the merit of being concise. That of Mr. Justice Wood, though no doubt replete with learning, fails in one essential particular, namely, lucidity. In his ramblings through the various English Statutes, he seems to get involved.\n\nThe Judgment of Mr. Justice Wood, as interpreted by Stuart King, leaves it to be implied that, if the indictment had been laid under the Statute of 7 W.4 and 1 Vict., a conviction would have been upheld. I have read through the Judgment most carefully, and I cannot see that any such implication was intended. It seems to me that both Judges referred to the language employed in the draftsmanship of this Statute in order to reinforce their decision as to what precise facts constituted the offence of piracy jure gentium.\n\nApart altogether from any implication to be deduced from the Judgments of the two Judges, would a prosecution, as suggested by Stuart King, be successful? For this purpose, I must assume as decided by the Court of Hong Kong, that to institute piracy jure gentium, an actual robbery is an essential ingredient. Persons guilty of this offence receive neither recognition nor protection by international law, and hence, the British Courts, in dealing with it, have assumed a wider jurisdiction than the territorial, or in some cases national, jurisdiction which they normally",

This jurisdiction is not, however, exercised in the case of other offences, which may be akin to piracy jure gentium, created by Statute. Hence, as Mr. Trusted points out in his minute of 7.10.31, which was endorsed by Mr. Bushe, an indictment under S.1. of 12 and 13 Vict. Chap. 96, would fail, as the jurisdiction of Courts to try offences under this Statute is \"municipal\". Nationals only would, so far as areas outside the territorial limits of its jurisdiction are concerned, be within its ambit. Not being clothed with the characteristics given to piracy jure gentium by the comity of nations, it could give no jurisdiction to the British Courts to try foreigners committing offences against its provisions outside territorial waters. Similar considerations apply to offences in contravention of the provisions of 7 Will. 4 and 1 Vict. Chap. 88.\n\nIn these circumstances, the suggestion of Stuart King is open to the same objections as that of the Admiralty in para. 4 of 12.\n\nIf I am right, the only remedy we can adopt is either to get the unfortunate verdict of the Court of Hong Kong reversed, or to alter by law the interpretation of piracy jure gentium. As regards the first suggestion, we have decided that special reference to the J.C. is the only method to adopt. With regard to the second, this should be adopted only if the first fails.\n\nAccording to para. 2 of Mr. Justice Lindsell's Judgment, what exactly constitutes piracy is left to",

I am afraid that I did not make my meaning clear. I did not intend to suggest that our Acts could be construed as having given jurisdiction over a foreigner who committed on the high seas an act which did not fall within the definition of piracy jure gentium, but rather that the particular section to which I drew attention was one of the provisions of our law constituting a series of offences which, taken together, comprise the crime of piracy as so defined.\n\nAs I read the judgment of the Full Court of Hong Kong, they decided two points. First, that when faced with an indictment for piracy they could only have regard to the municipal definition of that word and could not acquire jurisdiction from any definition attached to it by international law; a view which seems to me to be quite unexceptionable. Second, that the definition which English law had attached to the word \"piracy\" necessitated robbery as one of its elements; a view about which there may perhaps be more doubt, though so\n\nP.T.O.",

I suggest that the offences created by the section to which I referred are well within this definition and accordingly that there is no inherent reason why the section should not be regarded as conferring the necessary jurisdiction on our Courts, including the Hong Kong Court; I agree that there may be a question whether, on the proper construction of the section, it does in fact confer jurisdiction over foreigners in respect of offences committed on the high seas.\n\nWith respect, I do not see how Parliament can deal with the question of what is piracy *jure gentium*; all it can do, I suggest, is to confer, if it has not already done so, jurisdiction on its own",

I must assume, as decided by the Court of Hong Kong, that to constitute piracy jure gentium, an actual robbery is an essential ingredient. Persons guilty of this offence receive neither recognition nor protection by international law, and hence, the British Courts, in dealing with it, have assumed a wider jurisdiction than the territorial, or in some cases national, jurisdiction which they\n\nG.

The Statute could give no jurisdiction to British Courts to try foreigners committing offences (not clothed with the characteristics given to piracy jure gentium by the comity of nations) against its provisions outside territorial waters; only nationals would, so far as areas outside the territorial limits of the Court's jurisdiction are concerned, be within its ambit.\n\nIt seems clear that similar considerations would apply to offences committed in contravention of the provisions of 7 Will. 4 and 1 Vict. c.88 (an Act to amend certain Acts relating to the crime of piracy); and I am afraid, therefore, that",

With regard to the first suggestion, Sir M. Gwyer and I agreed that special reference to the J. C. is the only method to adopt. With regard to the second, this should be adopted only if the first fails. According to paragraph 2 of Mr Justice Lindsell's judgment, what exactly constitutes piracy is left to be determined by the country trying the offence. So far as English Courts are concerned, we have to look at previous decisions, which, according to the Court of Hong Kong, have held that robbery is an essential ingredient.

I have considered the suggestion in paragraph 4 of the Admiralty letter of the 21st September, that the court would probably have been satisfied had the accused been charged with conspiracy to act piratically under section 1 of 12 and 13 Vict. c. 96.\n\n2. The section in question provides for trial of persons charged with treason, piracy, felony, robbery, murder, conspiracy or other offence of what nature or kind soever committed upon the sea or in any haven, river, creek or place where the Admiral or Admirals have power, authority or jurisdiction.\n\n3. I am of opinion that this statute is mainly if not wholly municipal and that its intention was to provide convenient places for the trial of offences of all kinds committed outside the local jurisdiction, but within the Admiralty jurisdiction, and that the courts here would not hold that it gave them jurisdiction to deal with conspiracies and other offences of what nature or kind soever committed by foreign nationals against foreign nationals on foreign ships on the high seas. I am of opinion that the Hong Kong Courts have jurisdiction to deal certainly with piracy jure gentium and possibly other offences jure gentium.\n\n4.\n\n5. There is much text book authority for the proposition that assaults and acts of violence upon vessels whether robbery be effected or not is piracy (c.f. Hall pp. 313 and 314; Oppenheim p. 500). Some authorities deal with cruising with intent to rob or organizations for the purpose of plunder as piracy (c.f. Pitt Cobbett p. 286; Westlake p. 185; and Stephen's Digest, Article 108); but none deal with it as a punishable conspiracy in so far as it falls short of piracy.\n\n6.",

Gwyer was not able to go fully into the matter before he left for India, and he accordingly asked me to do so.\n\nAs I understand it, the position is that the Court of Hong Kong have decided that an accused person cannot be convicted of piracy where no robbery has occurred. It has been suggested in various quarters that the effect of this decision is likely to be serious on the ground that if it represents the true state of the law there is no way of dealing effectively with people who are caught red-handed before they have been able to carry their operations to a successful conclusion.\n\nA preliminary investigation of the matter has however led me to doubt whether this is in fact the position, and before I proceed to make a full investigation of the question whether the decision of the Court is open to criticism, there is one point which I should like you to consider.\n\nIn the course of his Judgment Chief Justice Wood refers to `P.T.O.`",

Section 2 of the Statute provides that any person who with intent to commit or at the time of or immediately before or immediately after committing the crime of piracy shall assault with intent to murder any person being on board of or belonging to any vessel or shall stab cut or wound any such person or unlawfully do any act by which the life of such person may be endangered shall be guilty of felony and being convicted thereof shall suffer death.\n\nAs I understand the facts of the case, the persons who were unsuccessfully indicted for piracy in the Courts of Hong Kong were caught red-handed in an attack on a vessel, shots were fired by the attacking party, who chased the cargo junk for over half an hour. In these circumstances I should have thought that any person concerned in that attack was clearly guilty of unlawfully doing some act by which the life of a person belonging to a vessel might be endangered; I cannot imagine any more dangerous proceeding than firing point-blank at the crew of a ship.",

It is clear that in any legislation which might be produced it would be necessary to specify some overt act on the part of the accused which would form the offence, and at the moment I am far from clear how such an act could well be described in any more general terms than those used in the section I have quoted. The only circumstance which is not covered is where the \"pirates\" have perhaps come alongside a vessel and are repulsed before they have assaulted any of the crew of the ship or done anything which might endanger the life of such person. I should have thought such an occurrence would be rare. \n\nI should be very glad if you would kindly turn this matter over in your mind and let me know whether you think that it is worth while drawing official attention to this section and \nP.T.O.",

My Lords observe that the judgment of the Full Court of Hong Kong does not profess to discuss the powers of the executive authorities to deal, within their own sphere, with piratical acts at sea. It merely states that the Courts have no legal powers at present to try as piracy anything but a successful robbery at sea. If this position were to be accepted, however, it could not but have far-reaching effects on the position of the executive authorities, unless some such solution of the question as is suggested in para.4 below were to be found practicable.\n\n3. The accepted interpretation of the piratical acts which H.M.Ships are instructed to suppress, by Article 957 of the King's Regulations, includes many acts apart from, or short of, robbery at sea. The object of H.M.Ships is, wherever possible, to interrupt the piratical attempts before the robbery is effected. Ships are instructed that pirates are to be sent in to the nearest British Court for trial, and the instructions for ships on the China Station provide that, even though taken in flagrante delicto on the High Sea, pirates are not to be punished except by Court of Law. If, therefore, the Courts were unable to try such cases unless the robbery had been consummated, this would mean that\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\n \nCOLONIAL OFFICE.\n\n \nH.M.\n\npirates...",

This position would be bound to cause a large increase in piratical assaults, as one of the chief deterrents would have been removed, and would be likely, incidentally, to result in much sharper executive action being taken against pirates when engaging them.\n\n4.\n\nIt has been suggested to My Lords, however, that a possible way out of the difficulty might be found by dealing in future with cases such as the one out of which the present question arose by a different charge. They have been advised that the Court would probably have been satisfied had the accused in the recent case been charged before them with the commission of a conspiracy, i.e. to act piratically, under Section 1 of 12 and 13 Vic cap.96.\n\n5.\n\nMy Lords concur that the Attorney General should be approached with a view to obtaining leave to appeal though They appreciate the difficulties attending application for leave to appeal, as service of notice to the accused persons is clearly impossible. They also consider that the necessary legislation should be introduced in the event of the appeal failing or not being accepted.\n\n6.\n\nAs regards the incidence of the cost, My Lords are advised this would normally fall upon the Hong Kong Government. They understand, however, that, if the Imperial Government saw fit to undertake to bear the costs, the Treasury would no doubt direct them to be paid from the Vote for Law Charges.\n\n7.\n\nA copy of this letter has been sent to the Board of Trade and to the Treasury Solicitor.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nWhen that",

        "content_text": "Copy.\n\n58\n\nHon. Colonial Secretary,\n\nOn the 1st April, 1931, the Full Court of Hong Kong gave judgment on a question of law reserved for consideration under section 78 of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance, 1899 (Ordinance No.9 of 1899) quashing the conviction in the case of Chung Tam Kwong and eleven others who had been found guilty of a piratical attack upon a junk upon the high seas with intent to rob. They were caught red-handed in the course of the attack and brought to Hong Kong for trial. The point reserved for consideration and decided in the negative by the Full Court was whether an accused person can be convicted of piracy when no robbery is committed.\n\nIt was the contention of the Crown that piracy jure gentium as defined by Oppenheim and other International Jurists included every unauthorised act of violence against persons or goods committed on the open sea by a private vessel against another vessel, and that if piracy so defined was proved it was justiciable in Hong Kong under the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the case Kwok A. Sing (L.R.5 P.C. 179).\n\nI attach a copy of the judgments of the Full Court. It is indicated in the judgment of His Honour the Acting Chief Justice, that fresh legislation by Act of Imperial Parliament is necessary if such acts of violence on the high seas are to be made justiciable in the Colonies. It would seem highly undesirable that the offence should not be justiciable unless the attack is successful; and I therefore suggest that the judgment be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the consideration of such Imperial Legislation as may be required.\n\n1st April, 1931.\n\n(s.)\n\nC. G. Alabaster, Attorney General.",

The language of their judgment, in which the jurisdiction of this court to adjudicate upon an indictment for piracy jure gentium was formally recognised, did not contain any reference to statute or ordinance on which such jurisdiction might be founded.\n\nThe Judicial Committee contented itself by observing that the crime alleged was by the law of nations, justiciable everywhere.\n\n5\n\nI have noticed that a similar submission was made by the counsel for the prisoner in \"The King v. Depardo\" (1 Taunton at p.29) who argued that \"the statute 28 Hen. VIII, c.15, merely altered the mode of trial in that court, and its jurisdiction still continues to rest on the same foundations as it did before that act; it is regulated by the civil law, et per consuetudines marinas, grounded on the law of nations which may possibly give to that court a jurisdiction that our common law has not.\" It appears that in that case no judgment was given by the court.\n\nDuring the argument I drew the attention of the learned Attorney General to the fact that the same point had been taken for the crown in England in \"The Queen v. Keyn\" (L.R. 2 Ex.Div. p.63).

Phillimore in his judgment (at p.68); he said \"It being then in my opinion clear that the jurisdiction to try this prisoner was not derived from the common law, or the statute law, or the law of the High Court of Admiralty, what law did render the English court competent for this purpose? As I understand the contention on behalf of the crown the answer is international law. In other words, by the consent of all civilised states, England has become entitled to include within her realm a marine league of sea and therefore has jurisdiction over a foreign vessel within that limit. It is indeed a most grave question whether if this statement of international law were correct, nevertheless, an act of Parliament would not be required to empower the court to exercise jurisdiction.\"\n\nIn my opinion the argument that a jurisdiction whether in England or in this Colony in respect of an extra-territorial occurrence can be derived by a court from international law directly without the intervention of legislation cannot be sustained. Legislation is necessary; and the crime of piracy, being extra-territorial, the legislation which is to empower this court to try that offence must be legislation of the Imperial Parliament.\n\nTo hold any other view would lead to the conclusion that it might be possible for this court to exercise alternatively",

I do not however propose to discuss these definitions because I am adopting for myself the view that the definition of the crime of piracy, for the purposes of a trial either in England or in this Colony, depends in the first instance not upon the law of nations but upon the meaning attached to piracy in the English statutes and in decisions of the English courts. I am fortified in my opinion by the opening statement in the Chapter on piracy contained in East's \"Pleas of the Crown\" (1803 Edition) volume 2, at p.794, as follows \"By the civil law the punishment of piracy was capital, of which the Admiral took cognizance: but it does not fall within the scope of this work to consider the offence otherwise than as it is a marine felony triable under the King's Special Commission by virtue of the statute 28 Hen.

The application was made on the ground that no robbery was disclosed. The matter was not then argued very fully. When I allowed the trial to proceed, my decision was influenced by the idea that the Admiralty Offences (Colonial) Act, 1849, (12 & 13 Vict., c.96), on which",

I at that time supposed that the definitions of piracy contained in textbooks relating to English criminal law represented merely the personal opinion of each writer. The opinions, with few exceptions, necessitate that the offence of piracy in respect of which an accused person became liable to conviction in the courts of the realm, must amount in its constituent acts to a felony if those acts had occurred upon land. The standard definition is contained in East's \"Pleas of the Crown\" (volume II, p.796):\n\n\"The offence of piracy by common law consists in committing those acts of robbery and depredation upon the high seas which if committed upon land, would have amounted to felony there.\" I then regarded this definition as the ipse dixit of the scholar and I was led to the conclusion that though no conviction has been recorded under the statute of Henry VIII unless for felony, yet that fact was merely accidental. The offence charged against the prisoners in these proceedings if committed on land would have amounted to an assault with intent to rob. That offence in the reign of Henry VIII was, under the common law, a misdemeanour and not a felony; and was made a felony by statute during the eighteenth century (see 17 Geo. II, c.21).\n\nIf,",

However, on the question at that time, the validity of that limitation was not accepted by me and I allowed the indictment to go to the jury.\n\nNow, in consideration of the question of law reserved, my attention has been drawn to the record in East's 'Pleas of the Crown\" (volume II, at p.807) where it appears that this interpretation placed upon the statute of Henry VIII is not a matter of scholastic opinion but is based upon a decision reached by the judges in conference, Holt C.J. presiding, in 1702 in connection with the trial of \"Rex v. Snape and Aires\". The judges decided, with two dissentients, that the statute of Henry VIII extended only to such offences as would be felony if committed on land. By that decision this court is bound. It is not open to this court at this time to hold that incidents at sea which do not constitute a felony can amount to a piracy punishable under the statute of Henry VIII. Unless, therefore, the statute founding the jurisdiction of this court in admiralty offences has created a wider jurisdiction in piracy than that conferred by statute upon the courts in England it would appear that my decision to entertain this indictment was wrong in law.\n\nThe following point may perhaps be considered arguable, but it seems to me a correct proposition to say that the jurisdiction of the English courts in piracy which was created by the\n\nPage 70\n\nPage 71",

In the records of this court there are two interesting indictments to which I have drawn attention. They are connected with what are locally known as the \"Sunning\" and the \"Haiching\" piracies. Both indictments were laid under 1 Vict., c.88, s.2, which deals with certain violent acts connected with the crime of piracy. The distinguishing feature between these two occurrences was that in the case of the \"Sunning\" the prisoners succeeded in dispossessing the master and obtaining control of the ship (which was subsequently retaken from them by the gallant action of the ship's officers) while the attack upon the \"Haiching\" was foiled and the attackers at no time controlled the bridge.\n\nThe indictment in connection with the \"Sunning\" was filed in March, 1927, and that in connection with the \"Haiching\" in February, 1930. Both indictments were filed by the present learned Chief Justice, Sir Joseph Kemp, who was then Attorney General. He charged the first set of prisoners with \"Piracy with assault with intent to murder\". In the particulars of offence he set out the acts of violence and after so doing proceeded \"and then and there committed the crime of piracy in respect of the said ship by stealing with force and violence the said ship\". By way of contrast, the later indictment alleged \"Wounding persons on board a ship",

It would thus appear that at the time when these two indictments were drafted, the draftsman gave effect to the opinion that the stealing of the ship constituted an essential element in the crime of piracy.\n\nLeaving the records of the courts, I now come to the consideration of the term piracy as it has been used in the statutes dealing with piracy (other than municipal piracy). It was not necessary for the learned Attorney General to argue, nor did he do so, that cruising with a piratical object by itself rendered a pirate liable to be punished by international law in national courts. Still less that the status and reputation of a pirate was such as to render him amenable to this court. It has been agreed by the learned Attorney General, in presenting the view of the crown, that in order to constitute the crime of piracy for the purpose of these proceedings, there must have been present not only a piratical mind, but also a piratical act.\n\nThe enquiry necessitated here will seek, in the language of the statutes, to ascertain the nature of the requisite act; and for the purpose of the question of law here under consideration, the issue has been narrowed down to discussion whether violence for the purpose of robbery is by itself enough or whether further a completed robbery is required. This enquiry may be usefully prosecuted by study of statutes passed in England to supplement the common law relating to piracy. That not every",

The legislature here declared certain acts to be piratical in character and yet at the same time found it necessary to provide by statute for their punishment. It is even more interesting to note that in the Piracy Act, 1721, 8 George I, c.24, s.1 it was enacted that \"In case any person or persons belonging to any ship or vessel whatsoever upon meeting any merchant ship or vessel upon the high seas or in any port haven or creek whatsoever, shall forcibly board or enter into such ship or vessel and though they do not seize and carry off such ship or vessel shall throw overboard or destroy any",

It would thus appear to have been necessary in the opinion of the legislation to reinforce the common law by statute in order to punish as pirates persons who had accomplished considerably more by their violent acts than is alleged in the present indictment. A distinction must be noted between statutes providing for the punishment of piracy and other statutes, e.g., the Piracy Act, 1850, 13 and 14 Vict., c.26, which provides for an inquiry by the High Court of Admiralty in England and other courts of Admiralty in His Majesty's dominions beyond the seas, held to determine whether persons attacked or engaged with by His Majesty's ships were pirates and to ascertain the number of pirates captured or engaged. It is not only from the language of English statutes that assistance is obtainable in this matter. As appears in the report of an American case \"The United States of America v. Smith\" (5 Wheaton, 153) (and also from reference to Kent's \"Commentaries on American Law\" vol. 1, p.185) that Congress taking action under a constitutional power given \"to define and punish felonies on the high seas and offences against the law of nations\" had passed an act providing \"that if any person shall upon the high seas commit the crime of piracy as defined by the law of nations.....such offender.....shall......be punished with death.\"",
