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.

I told him that I had not paid all the purchase-money on property bought from Woods; I told Assow that Mr Caldwell had written to me to come back from Macao, and he would transfer the leases.\n\nand for the balance ($150) Mr Caldwell was to receive the rents from the tenants for three months, which would amount to $150. I remember 15 more (houses) of Mr Caldwell's were put up at auction, and was present at the\n\nWhen I came back Mr Caldwell said that I must wait a little as auction. Mr Woods bought all. I bought all from Mr Woods; I do not know how many lots there were-I he, Mr Caldwell, was busy. I told Assow I had a fear agreed to pay Mr Woods $3,000 for them. Mr Caldwell that the creditors of Mr Caldwell might get back the lots and sell them. This happened about the middle of last negociated the purchase. I paid him $2,000 first in sums of $1,000 each, leaving a balance of $1,000, and I got Mr month, (May,) I have pressed Mr Caldwell to complete Caldwell to get back $500 of the last payment, so that the transfer. Mr Caldwell told me that the property had $1,500 should remain on interest. The first 10 houses mentioned in these transactions were bought about May of last year, 4 houses about August, and the 15 from Mr Woods were in November. When I bought the first 10 houses, I got a document (a bill of sale) from Mr Caldwell, but did not get the new lease. I told Mr Caldwell that I did not understand the business, and wished the matter put into a Lawyer's hands. Mr Stace was employed. The bill of sale was in Chinese. All the transactions\n\nwere on my own account The old leases are at my house. I know a woman called Chew Alai; she lives at Macao. I gave her 3 of the houses out of the lot of 10. She did not pay me anything. I gave them to her; she is my concubine, and I wanted to settle these houses on her. I did not give Mr Stace any instructions, but left Mr Caldwell to do so, that the 10 and 4 houses might be transferred in the usual way. I wanted the 3 houses transferred to Chew Alai, if it could be done as I wished, and if not, no matter. The old leases were given to Mr Stace, but I hold some older ones. I did not give the bill of sale to Mr Stace as it was in Chinese, and Mr Caldwell said that he would give an English one. I know Mak Afook; he collects rents for me. With reference to 7 of the 10 houses, he gives me $30 a month rent for them. As to the 4, Mak Afook has nothing to do with them; Szekai collects the rent on them, he pays me $50 for\n\nmonth. per\n\nbeen mortgaged, and not that he had not got back the papers; but Mr Caldwell had never refused to complete the transfer.\n\nAlthough Mr Caldwell still owed me $2,000, I was able to get the money to pay the sums of $2,200), and $150 for the different lots from my relations. The $1,500 was not due till November, by which time Messrs Siemssen & Co. had paid me $1,900, on account of Mr Caldwell's estate. I do not know the names of the tenants of the houses.\n\nOf the 15 houses bought from Mr Woods, my brother Ah Chow receives the rents.\n\nI was absent from Hongkong at China New Year (February last), and went to my own country. Before I left I told Szekai to pay the ground-rent; I told him he was to ask the old master about the payment; I meant Mr Caldwell. Since the 11th month (December) of last year have been in possession of the houses, and have not paid Mr Caldwell anything. I pay the interest to Mr Woods. I do not owe Mr Caldwell anything for these houses. There is no arrangement by which I am to pay Mr Caldwell on account of rents on these houses. Mr Caldwell has not the slightest interest in any of the houses\n\nRe-examined. I had no security for the $2,000 lent to Mr Caldwell. I had an acknowledgment in English writing, stating that the interest was $25 per mille per month. I had no receipt for the $1,500 lent on account of my friend. Achoy-eu, a person in California, was the friend whose money I lent; he told me, if I had a suitable opportunity, to buy opium; as I found none, I lent the money at call, and therefore there was to be no interest. I know Assow the road surveyor, but never told him that\n\nThe three houses given to Chew Alai were not to be given to herself for ever, but only so long as she behaved well. I was not to get the rent for them. When I bought them they were shops, not brothels. They are not brothels\n\nnow.\n\nI do not know Chun Atsoo.

There is a man keeps a Rice shop next door; his name is Ah-leen,\n\nLEE AH HO,--Called and examined.\n\nLOW AH FONG,--Recalled,\n\nI did see both Mr Lyons and the Lookong yesterday; they asked me what I was doing; I said I was sewing.

Pay it at Lum Ateen's house to Achew or to Assow (Road Overseer). Have no rent book or receipt. Ah Chu and Some repairs were effected after the fire. Assow got them done. I recognise Mr Caldwell,-have seldom seen him-have seen him inspecting streets; he has never inspected my house do not know if he owns my house.\n\n[Witness produces a book in which are entered payments made to Mr Caldwell, and another of payments to Lum Ateen.]\n\nI have a book of rents collected from the tenants.\n\nI collected rents for Mr Caldwell on 22 houses by contract, paying him $85 per month--and I collected rent on 3 houses, paying him the same direct. One was $25, one was $22, and one was $20. At the time when I was collecting there were no brothels, but there is one now. From the 17th December, I have continued to collect the rents of 10 of the houses as agent for Lum Ateen; for eight of them I contract to pay $55, and the rents of the other two are $20 and $22, as already stated, which is paid to Lum Ateen.

Was at Low-ali-fong's house yesterday when he was with Mr Lyons. I asked her the Number of her house and to whom did she paid house rent; some said house rent was paid to Lum Ateen, some to Achew, some to Cheong Assow, some to Lai Sze-kai; some said they paid rent to Sam-kwei-Mr Caldwell; Low-ah-fong said that she paid rent to Mr Caldwell; several people said that they paid it to Mr Caldwell, but I only recollect this woman.\n\nhad no dealings with him. In the 9th moon of last year, Mr Caldwell told me that he was going to keep back one house as a hospital, and in the 10th moon that I was to collect all the rents, as he would no longer own them in the 11th moon. Mr Caldwell said that some person wanted the house for a hospital. When Mr Caldwell told me about the house which was to be occupied as a hospital, I understood that I was no longer to collect the rent of it. It was Mr Caldwell who, in the beginning, appointed me to collect the rents. On the 17th December, Mr Caldwell said he would recommend me to Lum Ateen, who would", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

When Mr Wade returned the books and papers to me, he did so without any observations; there was no letter from him. He never sent to the office any certificate or report upon them, or anything in the nature of a report. I never heard him say that he was investigating, or had investigated them. There is not now a single book or paper sent me to be examined, in existence. I cannot recollect seeing, when I was examined at the Council, any manuscript papers in His Excellency's hands, nor do I remember His Excellency referring to any such. I told His Excellency the way in which I examined the books, but I do not recollect using the word cursory. I am quite certain that Mr May was not in the room when I was examined, and I did not go to the Council room again.\n\nthat, on the offer being made, Mrs Caldwell said she did not want it, and that she would tell Mr Caldwell when he came back. I saw Mr Caldwell after, and told him that the Commissariat people did not know me, and that Mr Caldwell and I had been long here, and that Mr Caldwell knew whether I was good or bad, and that if he thought I was good to write so and recommend me.\n\nMr Caldwell said he would recommend me according to what was true. I said nothing to him about the $1000; this was two or three days before my mother saw Mrs Caldwell. I also went the second day after my mother had been to Mrs Caldwell, and asked if that business had been settled. Mr Caldwell said he did not know,—it was Commissariat business. There was not on that occasion anything said to Mr Caldwell about the $1,000. On the first occasion when I went to Mr Caldwell, I said I would give him some present according to politeness. Mr Caldwell replied \"O! I don't want it.\" Mr Caldwell had been ordered by the Commissariat to enquire after the men's characters, and I know he did write to them. I did not obtain the contract. I never paid the $1,000, or any part of it, nor made any present. I did go to Mrs Caldwell on the morning of the day on which it was to be decided who should be the contractor, and I alluded to the promise of my mother as to the $1,000, for which Mrs Caldwell said there was no necessity. I also mentioned that the tenders had been decided on, and that I had not obtained the contract. Mr Caldwell did on the first occasion tell me he had already made a report to the Commissariat about me and my securities, and could not write any more.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\nAfter reading my evidence given at last meeting, on the subject of what took place at the Executive Council, and hearing Mr Mongan's evidence now given to the Commission, I adhere to the statement I then made. As a minor incident, I may mention that Mr Mongan did not sit down, but stood at the Governor's elbow, and answered the questions he put. Mr Dixson did not say one word while Mr Mongan was in the room.\n\nPANG WA-PANG,-Recalled.\n\nI adhere to my statement before made, that no promise was ever made to Mr Caldwell that this money would be paid, and I never told Inspector Roberts that such promise had been made. I now say, that before the steamer went out, I said to Mr Caldwell that I would make him some polite present, to which Mr Caldwell replied, \"that is not right, that is not right.\" This was the answer I gave to Roberts. Although I did not think Mr Caldwell would receive it, I was so very grateful, and the Chinese custom is so strong on that point, that I went again to offer Mr Caldwell the $100; half of this was on account of Achong. I am acting partner with Achong in the lorcha business and I told him before I was going to do it. Achong told a man in his employ to give it to me, which he did. No one accompanied me when I went there. I carried the money in my own handkerchief. I am quite certain I did not take the money back with me, and that it has never been returned to me since.\n\nCross-examined,——I remember that I went to Mr Caldwell, and that my mother went to Mrs Caldwell, with a request that Mr Caldwell would write to the Commissary General, and obtain for me the contract for supplying the troops with provisions. I sent my mother to Mrs Caldwell to offer her $1,000 if I obtained the contract. I did not order her to go, nor did I know before that she was going, but when she came back she told me she had done so. In my evidence, at page 56, I did not say I sent my mother. I replied to my mother, \"If you said so, let it be so.\" My mother told me that she had been to Mrs Caldwell.\n\nRe-examined,-The first visit of my mother to Mrs Caldwell on the occasion referred to, was on the 4th month of this year (May). My mother went to ask Mrs Caldwell because it was an affair between women, and that was in accordance with Chinese custom. I did not think she had any power to get the contract. She went to her instead of my going to Mr Caldwell, because it was more convenient as I might not find him in, and she was to tell Mr Caldwell what my mother had said. It is not the custom for Chinese women to go to Mrs Caldwell, when they want anything from the Government. It is sometimes the case, but not a fixed custom, that Chinese women offer money, or a present, or valuables to Mrs Caldwell on such occasions. Mrs Caldwell does not accept these offers, nor does she, properly speaking, assist them in getting what they want, but they only go to speak with her about it. She is not in the habit of using her influence with Mr Caldwell for this purpose, but I mean that people go to her that she may tell Mr Caldwell what they say. I have not had any conversation with Mr or Mrs Caldwell on this subject since my last examination. I have not seen Mrs Caldwell since, and only saw Mr Caldwell as he was going home that evening. They have neither of them sent to me nor desired me to come to them. I did not offer the $1,000 because Mrs Caldwell had accepted the $100 on the previous occasion. Had my tender been accepted, I should have made some present, but not have given the $1,000, as that had been refused. I never made or offered any present to Mr or Mrs Caldwell, except on these two occasions.\n\n( 43 )\n\nKWOK ACHONG, P. & O. Co.'s Comprador.-Called and examined.\n\nI know the last witness,--he never was my partner at any time. I had a half share in a lorcha three or four years ago; the other half was owned by several others. Last witness is not agent for me nor the other owners; he had a lorcha of his own.\n\nI remember both these lorchas-mine and his-being captured by pirates. My partner and last witness got the assistance of a man-of-war which brought the lorchas back; I did not go to Mr Caldwell. The last witness never came to me about paying expenses incident on the recapture. He never spoke to me about a present to Mr Caldwell.\n\nI had a conversation with Mr Dixson on the subject of the strange and mysterious interest which had been exhibited in favour of Ma-chow Wong, and expressing my inability to account for it. Mr Dixson said, \"Why, other government officers have had trade with Ma-chow Wong as well as Mr Caldwell.\" I said, \"I dare say that is true, I suppose you allude to somebody much bigger,\" in a significant manner; I said nothing in return. I have no knowledge of my own of any other Government officer than Mr Caldwell having trade with Ma-chow Wong. I know that about two or three months back, a Chinaman, who, from all I had known bore an honest character,--he was called on board the men-of-war \"honest Jack,\" or some such name.\n\nCHARLES MAY-Recalled.\n\nI know that a Comprador for Her Majesty's Ships, was apprehended by Mr Caldwell. I know that on the occasion of his apprehension, the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, without any Warrant from the Magistrate, and having taken the Police without any authority, went over with them to the mainland, and searched a house there with reference to the same case. I do not know the immediate cause of the apprehension, but a watch was found which was claimed by Mr Lapraik, who had lost it some years previously. The case was disposed of, and the man discharged. Another charge against him was brought forward supported by the evidence of convicts. I think it can be ascertained by the Commission, that an examination was held in the Gaol by the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, with reference to the charge against this man. I believe that Police Inspector Roberts was examined by the Acting Colonial Secretary within the Gaol, and gave important testimony as to the falsity of the charge. I am not certain whether his evidence was upon a second charge or upon a third charge, got up by convicts. To the best of my recollection, the same convicts who gave evidence against this man gave evidence in the false charge against Tong Akú as well.\n\nThe Chief Magistrate, who investigated both cases, can give certain evidence on this head. In reference to the reason why this man was accused, it was told me—and I believe you will get direct evidence of it from Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, and I think Roberts and Lyons—that the man had incurred the enmity of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nAbout February or March, 1857, an English merchant (name handed into Chairman) put into my hands a Chinese letter, which he requested I would take the best means of getting interpreted, without letting the contents be known, because it was one of a series of letters of which he trusted ultimately to become the possessor, involving a charge of a grave nature in reference to Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell through his family. I got the letter translated, and it appeared from that translation to relate to a seizure of tea by one of Her Majesty's Ships, and contained reference to a demand for services rendered by Ma-chow Wong and Mrs Caldwell in causing the restoration of the tea to some claimant.\n\nThe Merchant who gave me the letter mentioned the name of the person who had given him the letter, and that is the name handed in. I desire to bring to the knowledge of the commission a matter, so that it may not be said I have abstained from giving them any information within my knowledge.\n\nI had a conversation with the Attorney General, as stated by him about the communication from Mrs Caldwell to certain parties that they were to state that they have not given presents. I shall, in the course of the investigation, endeavour to ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

SIR RUTHERFORD ALCOCK, K.C.B.\n\nThe following documents have been handed to us for publication --\n\nSWATOW, 24th November, 1869.\n\nSIR, ---Though few in number, we are not the less sincere when we address your Excellency on this occasion--perhaps the last we may have--to express our thanks for what you have done to further the interests of this Port, through the instrumentality of the Central Government of Peking, and chiefly we are grateful to you for authorizing the formal opening of Chaochowfoo last year, the advantages of which are available between to diminish the distance, it requires but a glance to comprehend how the encouragement given by the local authorities to this traffic from which they reap a rich harvest.\n\nAmong them may be mentioned— \n1stly. Monopoly of the opium trade with Kiangsi through Chaochowfoo, by some ten Hongs of that city, has been broken up.\n2ndly. The water communication with the city has been rendered safer by the traffic of foreigners on the river, and will be still more so when a steamer of light draft now being constructed is running between it and Swatow.\n3rdly. So far as foreigners are concerned (and Chinese also if they choose to avail of the foreign medium for the transmission of their goods), certain village \"black mail levies\" are not now compulsory, and \nLastly. A larger field is open to foreign enterprise which, if properly directed, may lead to increased consumption of British fabrics, as well as the export of some articles of native industry.\n\nWithin a short distance in direct line of 150 miles from Hongkong, with numerous Bays and Rivers various. \n\nThe commerce of this Port suffer from the differential duties levied at the Harbors and places between this and Hongkong.\n\nStill more detrimentally does the commerce of this Port suffer from the differential duties levied at the Harbors and places between this and Hongkong. Nor would that Colony derive any benefit, for, checked by the wholesome restraint of the foreigner at the minor Ports, Manufactures sold to Chinese at Hongkong and by them imported would be easily subjected to any amount of taxation their whim or rapacity of the Native authorities might choose to impose. From another point of view also, viz., the immunity of native manufactures from such taxes, our proposition derives additional strength.\n\nI stand, but constituted as is the one, nothing but comment can result to the simplest calculations. The subject which calls for improvement, indeed total reform, is the payment of claims against Chinese. Payment of the best-founded claims, acknowledged by the defaulters as such, is subject not to their ability but to their willingness to meet them; and reference to the Chinese authorities is of so little avail as to be practically valueless owing to the venality which pervades all the Yamuns, their professions of bringing pressure to bear on the delinquents being of course at variance with fact. The vexation, the delay, and time uselessly spent in periodically bringing such claims to their notice through the Consul, are almost effectual barriers against pressing them at all, and a premium is thus being placed more and more on dishonesty.\n\nWe submit with deference,-\nThat where such a condition of things prevails H.M. Consul should have it in his power to hold the Chinese authorities responsible for such miscarriage of justice which so greatly adds to the usual risks of trade.\n\nWe leave it to your Excellency to judge of the expediency of this measure politically, in connection with which the matter of Octroi duties holds a prominent place. We are far from wishing to have undue advantages conferred on foreign trade, but there are so many ways in which this tax can and does become a powerful agent for thwarting the sale of British manufactures, and maintaining the foreign merchant in ignorance of the requirements of the place or its capabilities of consumption, that the matter becomes one of paramount importance. By Chinese, acquainted with the locality, conversant with the different means of access to the place, able at the proper time and with the proper person to have recourse to bribes, the inconvenience is less felt; and the various markets offered to them for their goods in transit render such taxes in many instances nugatory. On these grounds we argue that there is no undue advantage to the foreign merchant, if he enjoys immunity from such taxes, and unless it be a matter of congratulation that China is as she stands at present, and that we are to be content that she absorbs so much of our industry as she does, it appears an injustice that those who have contributed towards it may soon have to vacate the field-in which case the commerce of the southern part of the Empire would centre in Hongkong.\n\nThe disadvantage under which the British flag has compared with that of other nationalities labors in the trade with our own Possessions at the Straits, can only require to be known to our Government when a remedy would at once be found. According to the Chinese Passengers Act 1855, British vessels are liable to serious penalties if they carry to the Straits (a voyage of not more than 10 days duration in the North-East monsoon) more than one passenger to each two tons of the ship's register, and while no such law hampers the flags of other nationalities the Chinese...\n\n## \n414\n\nProvided always that when any such Ship shall be destined to call at a Port or Place in the course of her voyage for the purpose of filling up her water casks, a supply of water at the rate before mentioned for every week of such average voyage shall be deemed to be in compliance with this section regarding the Port or place of calling.\n\nThe provision of food shall be deemed to have been complied with in any case where it shall appear that by the special authority of the Governor, Articles of food other than those above enumerated as being Equivalent thereto were substituted.\n\nvoyage for every such passenger. \n\n| col | col |\n| --- | --- |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-147 - Public Offices - 1870.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 286119, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-154 - Public Offices - 1871", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-154 - Public Offices - 1871", "content_text": "74\n\n# House of Commons\n\n**Admiralty Agent**\n\nCol ...\n\nmurder on board the British Ship Jumna.\n\nThe Board desire me to state that they have no knowledge of the circumstances alluded to, and will be glad to be furnished with any further particulars which may be received.\n\nLord Kimberley they urge to cause them to be good enough to be received at the Colonial Office on the subject.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir\nYour obedient Servant,\nAuthen wreel Deep.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-154 - Public Offices - 1871.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 286138, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-154 - Public Offices - 1871", "page_number": 94, "title": "CO129-154 - Public Offices - 1871", "content_text": "# Hous of Comme \n## Admira \n### Agent \n\n| Cour | \n| --- | \n| Law Offiews. 5931 Hay Kay | \n| Mother Oftien erdenen the for 1 H.

When the defendant is in the service of the Government, the Court may transmit a copy of the documents to be served to the head Officer of the office in which the defendant is employed, for the purpose of being served on him, if it shall appear to the Court that the document may be most conveniently so served. If the defendant be an Officer or Soldier, the Court shall transmit a copy of the document to the Commanding Officer of the corps to which the defendant belongs, for the purpose of being served on him. The Officer to whom the document is transmitted, after causing the same to be served on the person to whom it is addressed, if practicable, shall return it to the Court with the written acknowledgment of such person endorsed thereon.\n\nIf from any cause the document cannot be served upon the person to whom it is addressed, it shall be returned to the Court by which it was transmitted with information of the cause which has prevented the service. In such case, the Court shall adopt such other means of serving the document as it may deem proper.\n\n## 5. When the suit is against a Corporation or a Company authorised to sue and be sued in the name of an Officer or Trustees, the document may be served by giving the same to any Director, Secretary or other principal Officer, or by leaving it at the office of the Corporation or Company.\n\n1. C. 62.\n\nNewby\n\n**Van Oppen**\n\n## 6. When the suit is against a foreign Corporation or Company having an office and carrying on business within the Colony, and such suit is limited to a cause of action which arose within the jurisdiction, the Court may order that the document shall be served by giving the same to the principal officer, or by leaving it at the office of such foreign Corporation or Company within the Colony.\n\n1855, s. 16.\n\n## 7. When the suit is against a defendant residing out of the jurisdiction, but carrying on business in the Colony in his own name or under the name of a firm through a duly authorised agent, and such suit is limited to a cause of action which arose within the jurisdiction, the Court may order that the document shall be served by giving it to such agent, and such service shall be equivalent to personal service on the defendant.\n\n## 8. The Court may direct service to be made out of the jurisdiction in all cases in which the Court is satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that the suit is limited to a cause of action which arose within the jurisdiction.\n\n## 9. In every such case, it shall be lawful for the Court in its discretion to order that such service may be effected through the medium of the Post Office, or otherwise, and to fix the time within which an appearance shall be entered by the defendant, and to give any other directions with reference to such service which it may think fit, and to receive any affidavit or statutory declaration of such service having been effected as prima facie evidence thereof.\n\n## 10. Any order for service may be varied from time to time with respect to the mode of service directed by the order, as occasion requires.\n\n## Suits to be commenced by Writ of Summons\n\nIX. Subject to the provisions hereinafter contained as to the institution of special suits and proceedings in certain cases, all suits in the Supreme Court shall be commenced by a general writ of summons to be issued by the Registrar on the filing of a præcipe for the same. The writ shall be prepared by the plaintiff or his attorney, and shall specify the name, description, and place of abode of the plaintiff and of the defendant, so far as they can be ascertained, the subject matter of the claim, and the relief sought for, and such writ shall be tested and bear date the day whereon the same shall be sued out. Any alteration in the writ, without leave of the Court, and without being re-sealed before service, shall render the writ void.\n\n## Of Summoning the Defendant\n\nX. The plaintiff shall cause a copy of the writ of summons under the seal of the Court to be served upon the defendant, and such copy shall contain a memorandum endorsed thereon requiring the defendant to enter an appearance to the suit within eight days from the day of such service.\n\n## Appearance\n\nXI. The defendant shall, within eight days from the day of service upon him of the writ of summons, cause an appearance to be entered for him to the suit in the Supreme Court.\n\n1. C. 111.\n\nO. G. G. L., Aug. 6, 1861, Cal. Gaz., p. 2581.\n\nR. J. C. 11.\n\n## Consequences of Non-Appearance\n\nXII. If the defendant shall fail to enter an appearance within the time hereinbefore limited in that behalf, and it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Court that the summons was duly served, the Court may proceed to hear the suit ex parte.\n\n2. If the defendant appear on any subsequent day to which the hearing of the suit is adjourned and shall assign good and sufficient cause for his previous non-appearance, he may, upon such terms as the Court may direct as to the payment of costs or otherwise, be heard in answer to the suit in like manner as if he had duly entered an appearance within the time limited as aforesaid.\n\n3. It shall not be obligatory on the Court to decide ex parte in the absence of the Defendant, but it shall be at the discretion of the Court to issue a warrant to arrest him and detain him till another day appointed for the hearing of the case, and to attach his property.\n\n## Writs specially endorsed\n\nXIII. In all cases in which the defendant resides within the jurisdiction of the Court, and the claim is for a debt or liquidated demand in money, whether founded on a legal or equitable right, the plaintiff shall be at liberty to make upon the writ of summons and copy thereof a special endorsement of the particulars and amount of his claim, and of any interest payable thereon by law or under any contract expressed or implied, and in default of appearance, he shall be entitled to sign judgment for any sum not exceeding the sum endorsed on the writ, together with interest, if any, payable thereon as aforesaid, to the date of the judgment, and the amount of the taxed costs: Provided always that the Court may, nevertheless, let in the defendant to defend upon an application supported by satisfactory affidavits accounting for the non-appearance and disclosing a defence upon the merits.\n\n2. If the defendant has appeared, the plaintiff shall be entitled, upon filing an affidavit verifying the cause of action, and swearing that in his belief there is no defence, to take out a summons to show cause why he should not be at liberty to sign judgment, and upon such summons, such order may be made as the justice of the case may require.\n\n3. In like manner, in cases of ordinary account, as in the case of a partnership or executorship, or ordinary trust account, where nothing more is required in the first instance than an account, the writ may be specially endorsed, and in default of appearance, or after appearance, unless the defendant shall satisfy the Court that there is really some preliminary question to be tried, an order for the account, with all usual directions, may be forthwith made.\n\n4. It shall also be lawful for the Court, in such cases, on summary application in chambers or elsewhere, to direct, if it think fit, any necessary inquiries or accounts, notwithstanding it may appear that there is some special or further relief sought, or some special matter to be tried, as to which it may be proper that the suit should proceed in the usual manner.\n\n## Proceedings by or against Partnership Firms\n\nXIV. Proceedings by or on behalf of or against a partnership solely or jointly must be taken in the several names of the partners as individuals, and not in the name of the firm or otherwise: Provided always that where some of the members of a partnership carrying on business within the colony are unknown or are absent from the colony, every such partnership may be sued in the name of any one or more members thereof within the jurisdiction, and every judgment obtained or order made in any such suit shall have the same effect and operation upon the persons and property, both real and personal, of such partnership and of the several members thereof, whether such property be joint or separate, as if every member of such copartnership had been actually and in fact a defendant in the action, and had been duly served with process, and every such judgment or order may be enforced as in ordinary cases of the like nature.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 295753, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-170 - Sir Kennedy - 1875 [1-3] -- Acting Governor Austin - 1875 [3-6]", "page_number": 215, "title": "CO129-170 - Sir Kennedy - 1875 [1-3] -- Acting Governor Austin - 1875 [3-6]", "content_text": "## Particulars \n\nI understand from the office duties, and from what Mr. Round says that this has been the fact, but the O:8: Paper 1456 is correct.\n\nThe receipt of Pay has all along been under the influence of direct Imperial funds.\n\nThe Col.

Below Manghao, on the banks of the river, in Annamite territory, is situated the town of Laokay, two days' journey from the Tonquin capital, Hanoi. The Song Koi, or Red River, divides into various branches; the two southern ones meet above Hanoi. On one of them stands the town of Niuh-brinh; on the other, that of Nam-diuh and Hung-yen. These two branches communicate by canals, on one of which is situated the town of Fouli. Another branch of the Song Koi is the Thai-binh River, which passes by Hai-duong. Between it and the Hanoi branch of the Song Koi, or Red River, runs the Longchi Canal; and a third and very important branch to the north of the above named is the River Cam, which passes Haiphong; the mouth of the Cam is called the Cua Cam. The three northernmost mouths by which the Song Koi falls into the sea are called Dai, Lak, and Balat. The distance from the mouth of the river to Manghao in Yünnan is as follows:--\n\nFrom the mouth to Hanoi\nMiles\n110\n\nIlanoi to Soutay\n\"\n32\n\nSoutay to Annamite advanced posts\n\"\n87\n\nLackay to Manghao\n\"\n115\n\nAnnamite camp to Laokay\n\"\n70\n\nMiles from the sea to Manghao\n\n414\n\nIt is necessary to give this detail of the river communications through Tonquin in order that the position of affairs may be better understood.\n\nThe borders of Tonquin and Yunnan have for a long time been in a very disturbed state, being in possession of two clans or bands of Chinese distinguished as the Black and Yellow Flags. The men comprising them were originally under the Chief Tienti, the head of the Kwangei rebellion, and, having escaped into Tonquin, captured the town of Laokay, on the Red River; but the two Chiefs having quarrelled, they separated, and one portion took possession of Ko-yang, a tower lower down on the Red River, which places they still occupy, but are at war with each other, and each levies black mail upon all boats and goods passing into Yunnan, and thereby stopping the lucrative trade that had existed between Hanoi and that province.\n\nIn 1864 there resided at Hankow, in China, a M. Dupuis, who was engaged in the business of selling arms and ammunition to the Chinese then engaged in suppressing the Mahomedan rebellion in Yünnan. The distance, however, was long and the road difficult, and he was impressed with the idea that a shorter and better route could be found. He started for Yunnan, but the disturbed state of the country prevented him from following the course of the Song Koi, or Ho-ti-kiang, as it is there called, into Tonquin; but later on, in 1870-1871, he was more successful, and found the river was navigable from Manghao; and having ascertained that fact, he returned to Yunnan, and obtained large orders for arms and ammunition, which were to be brought viâ the Song Koi through Tonquin.\n\nIt was necessary, however, to obtain permission from the Annamite Government to cross Tonquin with these arms and ammunition, and Dupuis' Agent, M. Millot, explained his plans to Rear-Admiral Krantz, the Chef de Cabinet of the Navy Department, who obtained for him an audience from the Minister, Vice-Admiral Pothuon. Dupuis requested, as there was no regular communication with Annam, a passage to be given him in a gun-boat to Hué, to obtain this permission, and after some delay he received, under date the 9th April, 1872, a letter from the Directeur des Colonies, saying he had written to the Governor of French Cochin China to comply with his request if compatible with his duties, and MM. Dupuis and Millot having returned to Saigon, it was arranged that the despatch-boat \"Bourayne,\" Captain Lencz, should go to Tonquin to afford them protection. Two condemned British gun-boats---the \"Firm\" and the \"Cockchafer\"---had been purchased at Shanghae, and put under the French flags under the names the \"Hoong Kiang\" and the \"Lao Kay.\"\n\nMr. Dupuis left Hong Kong on the 26th of October, 1872, with the \"Hoong Kiang,\" towing a steam-launch, and the \"Lao Kay,\" towing a Chinese junk with coal and artillery. Including Messrs. Dupuis and Millot, the expedition numbered twenty-three Europeans and ninety-six Asiatics, Malays, Chinese, and Japanese.\n\nOn the 9th of November, they arrived at the Cua-cam River, in Tonquin, where the \"Bourayne\" was, but Captain Lenez had gone to Hanoi. Dupuis then went to the southernmost mouth of the Song Koi, but was recalled by a note from Captain Lenez, requesting him to return as soon as possible to be introduced to the Royal Commissioner Li, who had military command of the Provinces of Quang yen, Hai dzong, and Hung yen. On the 19th Li arrived, and the object of the expedition was explained, and the official Chinese documents were shown to him; but he said, though all was in order, he must refer to Hué for instructions. On the 4th of December no answer had been received from Hué, and Li hinted that none would be received for several months. Dupuis then decided not to wait any longer, and he wrote to Commissioner Li that, as the waters of the Cua-cam were very bad, he would go up the river.\n\nAfter several attempts to find a channel, the way to the Red River was discovered, which the expedition entered on the 18th of December, with a salute. Their proceedings were detailed to me by a very intelligent man called Captain George, a Greek by birth, who was with the expedition. The Annamites were greatly excited, and large bodies of troops were out. An attempt was made to erect a barrier across the canal, flanked by a fort, which opened fire upon the vessels; but that was soon silenced, and they arrived at Hanoi on the 22nd of December without further opposition. There the Mandarins promised to assist them up the river, but, in fact, prevented M. Dupuis hiring the boats he wanted; and on discovering this he determined to continue the journey, but was unable from want of water. Finally, he succeeded in hiring four boats, and on the 18th of January, 1873, he started with three of them, the steam-launch, and a Chinese interpreter, leaving the remainder of the expedition with M. Millot at Hanoi, and taking with him altogether twelve Europeans and twenty natives.\n\nOn the 1st of February, the expedition passed the last Annamite camp, reaching the head-quarters of the Yellow Flags on the 10th. Here he was entertained by their Chief Hoang Tsong-yu, and after leaving his territory he entered, on the 20th, that of another Chief, Lun vinh-pline, the Black Flags, who lives in the city of Lao Kay; and on the 25th he left this-the last town in Tonquin-and finally arrived at Manghao, in Yunnan, on the 4th of March, and leaving his material behind, he reached Yunnan-fu on the 10th. Here he found he had arrived too late with his arms, for the Mahommedan stronghold of Tali-fu had been surrendered to the Imperial troops on the 8th of January, and Ma, the Chinese Commander-in-chief, did not require them, and said, moreover, he had not the means of paying for them, but there was a quantity of tin from the mines which he might have, and which Dupuis accepted, but was able to remove but little of it for want of means of transport; and finding his expedition a commercial failure, he returned to Hanoi, which he reached on the 10th of April, and found the Annamites preparing to attack the Expedition, having closed two branches of the Song Koi and barricaded the river above Hanoi to prevent its escape. By mistake, however, the Longchi Channel, which begins a little above Hanoi, and runs into the Phai-binh River, was left open, and Dupuis, who had enlisted about 100 Chinese, was able to make good his retreat, though occasional skirmishes took place.\n\nThe Ministers of Tuduc, the King of Annam, seeing no means of getting rid of M. Dupuis, wrote to Admiral Dupré, who sent him, through the Annamite authorities, an order to leave Tonquin at once, saying that his presence in the country was a source of annoyance, and if the command was not obeyed, he (Admiral Dupré) would not consider himself responsible for the consequences. In reply, M. Dupuis stated that he had neither coal nor funds, and could not leave the country. M. Millot, however, arriving at Saigon on the 13th of July, with a relation of the Titu of Yunnan, and a Mandarin named Li (whom the Viceroy of Canton told me he would behead if he could get hold of him), called on the Admiral, and so represented the matter that he suggested a delay of three months, and assisted M. Millot in obtaining a loan from a bank under the guarantee of the Colonial Secretary. M. Millot then returned to Hong Kong and purchased a small steamer, and named her the \"Manghao,\" and a junk, which he called the \"Lao Kay,\" and sent them, with ten men from Hupih, to Tonquin.\n\nAfter the departure of M. Millot from Saigon, Tuduc, the King of Annam, sent two Envoys to Admiral Dupré (August, 1873) to tell him Dupuis refused to obey his order. To this the Admiral replied by telling them they ought to have expelled him themselves. They answered they were unable to do so, and requested the Admiral to send a man-of-war to Tonquin to assist them.\n\nThe action of Admiral Dupré in this matter was calculated to mislead both M. Dupuis and the Annamite Government. He certainly gave assistance to the former both by steamers and money, and at the request of the latter he recalled Dupuis from Tonquin, and when the Envoys sent by the King Tuduc requested the fulfilment of his order, he hesitated to enforce it; and it was this hesitation which brought about the complications that resulted in grave responsibilities to the French and loss of independence to the Annamites. I may here mention that, during the interval which\n\n[608]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 301727, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "page_number": 340, "title": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "content_text": "# AFT. No. 2 \n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n200 \n### 1-SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS\n\nThe first of the preliminary questions was as follows:-\"Le choléra \"Asiatique, susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique), ne se développe-t-il \"spontanément que dans l'Inde, et est-ce toujours du dehors qu'il \"arrive quand il éclate dans d'autres pays? Ou bien revêt-il aussi le \"caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde? dans ce cas, quels \"sont ces pays ?\"\n\nOn the points involved in this question the Conference was in unanimous agreement with that of Constantinople, that epidemic cholera has its origin in India, and exists permanently there in an endemic state; that it is probably endemic only in India, though there are some countries bordering on India, concerning which sufficient grounds do not exist for a formal conclusion on this point; that it has never been observed in a really endemic state, (which of course must be carefully distinguished from an origin from secondary foci) either in any part of Europe, or in Turkey in Asia, or in the Caucasus, or in the north of Africa, or in America; and that, though the possibility of its becoming acclimatized in any of those countries is not to be rejected, such event is to be held as extremely problematical.*\n\nOn the second question, \"Le choléra est-il transmissible par l'homme ?\" some discussion took place, not in reference to the main question, in which the Conference was entirely in accord with that of Constantinople, but on an exception taken by the German delegates to the wording of one of the conclusions of the Constantinople Conference on the subject.† With certain qualifications to meet this view, and which recognised the influence of localities, the Conference accepted those conclusions, thereby affirming that cholera is transmissible by the human subject coming from an infected locality; that the rapidity of its transmission is in correspondence with the activity and rapidity of human communications; that the introduction of a single cholera patient may give rise to the development of an epidemic; and that there are facts which tend to prove that a single individual (and à fortiori several) coming from an infected place, and affected with diarrhea only, may be enough to give rise to the development of an epidemic of cholera, or, in other words, that the premonitory diarrhoea of cholera may be the means of transmitting the disease.†\n\nOn the points raised in the third question, \"Le choléra peut-il être \n* Throughout this abstract I have given in full the conclusions as voted by the Conference. They frequently go beyond a mere categorical reply to the questions asked, and sometimes contain qualifications of the conclusions stated in the final \"Relevé des Conclusions, &c.\" (Annex. III.) which should not be disregarded.\n†The phrase objected to was \"L'homme atteint de choléra est par lui-même le \"principal agent propagateur de cette maladie.\" And the objection taken by Professor Pettenkofer was particularly to the words \"par lui-même.\" The view of the German delegation was thus formulated by Professor Hirsch :-\"Je ne conteste \"nullement la transmissibilité du choléra par l'homme venant d'un milieu infecté ; \"je considère l'homme seulement comme la cause spécifique, en dehors de l'influence de la localité infectée; en outre, je le considère comme le propagateur du choléra, lorsqu'il vient d'un endroit où le germe de la maladie existe déjà.” \nIt is apparently by an error, which escaped observation at the time, in the Procès-verbaux, that the proposal of the German delegation is therein stated to have been formally adopted, and to the exclusion of the Constantinople resolutions. But the fact was that the discussion showed that there was nothing really to dispute about: the conference readily and at once recognized the influence of localities, and most certainly the resolutions of Constantinople, modified on this point only, as I have stated in the text, were adopted. I find this error in the Procès-verbaux and Relevé des Conclusions, has been since noticed by other Members of the Conference. (See Bull. de l'Acad. de Méd. 1874, p. 926.)\n\n207 \n### Art. No. 2. \n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\npropagé par des effets qui, provenant d'un lieu infecté, ont servi à l'usage, et spécialement par ceux qui ont appartenu à des cholériques ?\" the conclusions of the Constantinople Conference were unanimously accepted, viz., that cholera is transmissible by goods employed for personal use coming from an infected place, and especially by such as have been used by cholera patients; and that there are even facts which show that the disease may be conveyed to a distance by such goods, if they have been kept close and unexposed to free circulation of air.\n\nThe fourth question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des comestibles ?\" was one which had not been considered at Constantinople. This question it was decided after a short discussion to divide into two, the one having reference to food, and the other to drink, especially to drinkable water. To the first branch of the question, “Le choléra peut-\"il être propagé par les aliments?\" the answer given by a majority, after considerable discussion, was that the Conference having no conclusive facts of the transmission of cholera by food, was not in a position to give a formal decision on the point. To the second division of the question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des boissons, particulièrement par l'eau ?\" the reply was unanimously in the affirmative.\n\nOn the fifth question, \"Peut-il être importé par des animaux vivants?\" the conclusion arrived at by a majority, after some discussion, was that there exists no proof of the transmission of cholera from animals to mankind, but that the possibility of it may reasonably be admitted.\n\nOn the sixth question, \"Le choléra peut-il être importé par les marchandises?\" the conclusion of the Conference at Constantinople, that, while they were unanimous as to the absence of any proof of the transmission of cholera by merchandise, they must admit the possibility of such occurrence under certain conditions, was, after discussion, adopted by a majority. No vote was given against it, but several delegations abstained from voting. As is evident from the wording of the resolution, it was only as to the concluding phrase that there was any difference of opinion.\n\nOn the seventh question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par les cadavres des cholériques ?\" the conclusion of the former Conference, that though there was no conclusive evidence of the transmission of cholera by the corpses of cholera patients, it was prudent to consider them as dangerous, was unanimously adopted.\n\nOn the eighth question, “Le choléra peut-il se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule ?\" the Conference adopted, with equal unanimity, the conclusions of that of Constantinople, which were as follows: No fact up to the present time has shown that cholera can be propagated to a distance by the atmosphere alone, whatever the atmospheric conditions may be; and it is further a law, without exception, that no epidemic of cholera has ever been propagated from one point to another in a shorter time than was requisite for a human being to travel from the one point to the other. The surrounding air is the chief vehicle of the cholera-producing agent, but the transmission of the disease by the air is limited, in the immense majority of cases, to a distance very close to the source of infection. None of the facts which have been cited of transport of cholera by the atmosphere to the distance of one or of several miles is sufficiently conclusive.\n\nThe Conference assented also with unanimity to the answer which had been given at Constantinople to the ninth question, viz. \"L'air frais arrivant du dehors aux agents donnant naissance ou propageant le choléra, et les aérant, ou bien l'isolement de ces agents de l'air extérieur, constituent-ils des éléments ayant ou non une influence sur le caractère contagieux du choléra ?” This reply was to the effect that in fresh air \n\n331", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 301736, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "page_number": 349, "title": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "content_text": "# Arr. No. 2. Abstract of Proceedings\n\n## 5o. De la Transmissibilité par les Marchandises\n\nTout en constatant, à l'unanimité, l'absence de preuves à l'appui de la transmission du choléra par les marchandises, la Conférence a admis la possibilité du fait dans certaines conditions.\n\nRésultat du vote: 13 oui, 5 abstentions.\n\n## 6o. Transmissibilité par les Cadavres Cholériques\n\nBien qu'il ne soit pas prouvé par des faits concluants que les cadavres de cholériques puissent transmettre le choléra, il est prudent de les considérer comme dangereux.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## 7°. Transmissibilité par l'Atmosphère seule\n\nAucun fait n'est venu prouver jusqu'ici que le choléra puisse se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule, dans quelque condition qu'elle soit; en outre, c'est une loi, sans exception, que jamais une épidémie de choléra ne s'est propagée d'un point à un autre dans un temps plus court que celui nécessaire à l'homme pour s'y transporter.\n\nL'air ambiant est le véhicule principal de l'agent générateur du choléra; mais la transmission de la maladie par l'atmosphère reste, dans l'immense majorité des cas, limitée à une distance très-rapprochée du foyer d'émission. Quant aux faits cités de transport par l'atmosphère à un ou plusieurs milles de distance, ils ne sont pas suffisamment concluants.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## 8°. Action de l'Air sur la Transmissibilité\n\nIl résulte de l'étude des faits qu'à l'air libre le principe générateur du choléra perd rapidement son activité morbifique, telle est la règle; mais dans certaines conditions particulières de confinement, cette activité peut se conserver pendant un temps indéterminé.\n\nLe choléra peut être transmis par les effets à usage provenant d'un lieu infecté, et spécialement par ceux qui ont servi aux cholériques; et même il résulte de certains faits que la maladie peut être importée au loin par ces mêmes effets renfermés à l'abri du contact de l'air libre.\n\nLes grands déserts sont une barrière très-efficace contre la propagation du choléra, et il est sans exemple que cette maladie ait été importée en Egypte ou en Syrie, à travers le désert, par les caravanes parties de la Mecque.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## III. Durée de l'Incubation\n\nDans presque tous les cas, la période d'incubation, c'est-à-dire le temps écoulé entre le moment où un individu a pu contracter l'intoxication cholérique et le début de la diarrhée prémonitoire ou du choléra confirmé, ne dépasse pas quelques jours. Tous les faits cités d'une incubation plus longue se rapportent à des cas qui ne sont pas concluants, ou bien parce que la diarrhée prémonitoire a été comprise dans la période d'incubation, ou bien parce que la contamination a pu avoir lieu après le départ du lieu infesté.\n\nL'observation montre que la durée de la diarrhée cholérique, dite prémonitoire - qu'il ne faut pas confondre avec toutes les diarrhées qui existent en temps de choléra - ne dépasse pas quelques jours.\n\nLes faits cités comme exceptionnels ne prouvent pas que les cas de diarrhée qui se prolongent au-delà appartiennent au choléra, et soient susceptibles de transmettre la maladie, quand l'individu atteint a été soustrait à toute cause de contamination.\n\nRésultat du vote: 13 oui, 1 non, 4 abstentions.\n\n## IV. Questions de la Désinfection\n\n### 1o. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection, grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement être détruit ou perdre de son intensité ?\n\nRésultat du vote: 12 non, 7 abstentions.\n\n### 2o. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection, grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut avec quelque chance de succès être détruit ou perdre de son intensité ?\n\nRésultat: 13 oui, 6 non.\n\n### 3o. La science ne connaît pas encore de moyens désinfectants certains et spécifiques\n\nEn conséquence, la Conférence reconnaît une grande valeur aux mesures hygiéniques telles que: aération, lotions profondes, nettoyage, etc., combinées avec l'emploi des substances regardées actuellement comme désinfectants.\n\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n## DEUXIÈME PARTIE, QUESTIONS DES QUARANTAINES\n\n### I. Quarantaines de Terre\n\nConsidérant que les quarantaines de terre sont inexécutables et inutiles, vu les nombreux moyens de communication qui augmentent de jour en jour; considérant en outre qu'elles portent des atteintes graves aux intérêts commerciaux, la Conférence rejette les quarantaines de terre.\n\nRésultat du vote: 13 oui, 4 non, 2 abstentions.\n\n### II. Quarantaines Maritimes\n\n#### I. Mesures à prendre en dehors de l'Europe\n\nEn vue de prévenir de nouvelles invasions du choléra en Europe, la Conférence approuve les mesures recommandées par la Conférence de Constantinople, notamment les quarantaines dans la Mer-Rouge et dans la Mer-Caspienne.\n\nCes quarantaines devront être instituées et organisées d'une manière complète et satisfaisante, selon les maximes d'hygiène les plus rigoureuses.\n\n#### II. Mesures à prendre dans les Ports de l'Europe\n\nLorsque le choléra a fait invasion en Europe, la Conférence recommande le système d'inspection médicale, mais pour les États qui préfèrent maintenir les quarantaines, elle établit les bases d'un règlement quarantenaire.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308058, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 48, "title": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "## For Sale. \n\n**MacEWEN, FKJKEL & CO., H**AVE JUST RECEIVED \"KL AMERICAN MAIL\" \n\n**Prime Esatera CCISE.** \n\n**Young Aansrict CUERE.** **Apple OHEISE** **BUTTER.** \n\nand **MALT.** \n\n**Sarend Ply's FELI** **Split PRAS.** \n\n**Fab' TONGTES** **AJANS.** \n\n**COONISE.** \n\n**Astarted VRGETABLES.** \n\n**arted AEN.** \n\n**Muted BOLFS.** \n\n**Pig Head UHKKSE** **Devilled HAN** \n\n**CAVISKE** **CLOSE** \n\n**Caiturei Colien BTADT** \n\n**Whitters BAMS.** \n\n**Breakfat KAŬON.** \n\n**Mails.** \n\n## NOTICE. \n\n**COMPAGNIE ES MOSAQEKINS MARITIMES.** \n\n## PAGURROTS POSTE FRANÇAIS. \n\nSTRAY FOR SAIGON, SINGAPORE, BATAVIA, POINT DE GALLE, ADEN, SUEZ MAILIA, FORT Sat, NAPLES, AND · HARSAILLES; \n\nA1204 BOMUAY, MARE, ST.

But it must be remembered that this has never been found to be an argument of any value in discussions arising out of foreign trade. On the other hand, I regard them as of considerable significance to our import trade, that in opium included. Four ports are opened, two up the Great River and two on the sea coast, at which British subjects may reside. Six other ports are opened up the Great River, not for residence, but as ports of call for steamers. At Chung-king, the great mart of Western China, we are authorized to place a Consular Agent to protect our trade. Whenever steamers reach Chung-king, we are authorized to reside there.\n\nThese concessions, I say, are advantageous to China. They will incontestably augment her revenue. The benefit, materially, they confer upon us is in the increased opportunity they provide for the distribution of our imports. We insure at four points delivery of our goods for Tariff duty, and at six other points, not heretofore accessible except in Chinese junks, delivery, but from British vessels, as at an inland centre; that is to say, for the additional half-duty that enables us to certificate our imports. Morally, I believe that they benefit us no less. Of the political importance of multiplying points of contact, as a guarantee of better relations, I have spoken sufficiently often. In the exchange I have recommended to Her Majesty's Government, that guarantee is strengthened by the diminution of causes of dispute, of which the collection of abnormal taxation is one of the most fertile.\n\nThere is an apparent conflict between the arrangement stipulated in Article I and that in Article VI.\n\nMy original list of new ports included other places, notably Yo-chou, in Hu Nan; Ta-ku Shan, in Manchuria, the outport of a coal-field of value; and Shui-t'ung, on the west coast of Kuang Tung. I abandoned the two last because at neither, in the opinion of Mr. Hart, would a Customs agency prove remunerative.\n\nI had not been forgetful of the fact that undue extension of our Consular establishment would be unacceptable at home. So long as exterritoriality is a necessity, I am myself opposed to the congregation of British subjects at ports or places at which there is no British authority, or even to the opening of ports so circumstanced to our shipping. We are responsible as much for the control of our countrymen as for their protection. And, as I have observed under Section 2, there are many reasons why, in my opinion, the foreign Customs, a cosmopolitan service, could not advantageously be invested with such powers as would enable them to discharge the duties now discharged by Consuls, British or of other nationality, the office of general control, in fact. But I should not hesitate to entrust them with power to retain a ship's papers while she was in port, and, in the event of a dispute, pending reference to the Consul of her nation; and an arrangement of the kind at subsidiary ports would have much to recommend it. Where, on the other hand, the trade of a port was declared, by competent authority, to be unequal to the support of a foreign Customs establishment, there would be a double reason for not insisting on the access of our shipping to it. I abandoned Ta-ku Shan and Shui-t'ung accordingly.\n\nRegarding Yo-chou I was more tenacious. It is a centre of much importance, and the first argument urged against it, that it is not, properly speaking, upon the Great River, was of no great force. It was not until the last moment, therefore, that I surrendered it, and then under the following conditions. For the reasons earlier given I was myself desirous of definitively closing the case. A similar desire having been more than once manifested upon the other side, I undertook to accept the responsibility of declaring the case closed, provided that, in addition to all other stipulations enumerated, the Grand Secretary Li would consent to the immediate opening of the new ports and places of call specified in the Agreement, instead of leaving this step dependent on the understanding to be arrived at on the subject of port areas and the collection of inland duty on opium. The Grand Secretary showed a fair disposition to meet me half way; but he would still have postponed the opening of the ports for a twelvemonth from the receipt of the Imperial Decree for which I had stipulated, approving the Agreement we were about to sign. I pressed for six months, and the Grand Secretary finally consented, provided that I would withdraw Yo-chou from my list. On these terms I withdrew Yo-chou.\n\nAt Chung-king we shall neither reside nor deliver goods in foreign bottoms until steamers can reach the port. My impression is strong that, the rapids notwithstanding, steamers will eventually reach Chung-king. Whether this hope, which I base on the information I have received, be justified or not, another object which I had more immediately in view will be answered by the residence of an agent in the city. It is the port of destination to which large consignments of our imports are addressed. They are frequently, though covered by transit-duty certificates, detained en route by the li-kin collectorates, it may be those in the jurisdiction of Ssu Ch'uan, the province in which Chung-king stands, or in that of Hu Pei, through which they have to pass en route westwards. I had but recently a two years' debate over a claim on account of such detention, amounting to upwards of 21,000 taels. This was one of a series of cases defended on the not unusual ground that the goods detained were Chinese owned. It was aggravated by ill-treatment of the crews of the junks carrying the goods which again was excused by the common allegation that these had misrepresented facts. The Tsung-li Yamén, after long debate admitting that wrong had been done, sent down instructions to release the goods. These were not at first obeyed. The goods being at last released, the justice of the claim for indemnity was also in due time admitted; at least it was referred to the collectorate concerned. Then followed a discussion as to which government, that of Hu Pei or that of Ssu Ch'uan, was responsible. In the end, the British merchant interested was approached personally by the official sent down to Hankow from the collectorate to settle the matter; and the matter was then privately settled, I must add to my regret, by payment of something over one-half of the claim, the claimant preferring what he could make sure of down to awaiting the issue of further negotiation on the subject.\n\nThe above is a sample of an order of proceeding unhappily not at all without precedent; even at the ports parallel cases could be quoted. But the presence of the Consul is a certain check upon irregularity, and an agent at Chung-king—other advantages apart that are derivable from his presence there—will, I trust, do much to control it in the Upper Valley of the Great River. So far as the import trade is concerned, I look upon our newly-acquired position at Chung-king as one of the most important of the concessions made.\n\nIndependently of the better security it provides against discussions which are never otherwise than unpleasant, it insures an improved distribution of our manufactures at a mart of trade which is to the west what Hankow is to the centre of China. Lastly, it is a point of contact with a large and substantial native community.\n\nThe opening of the subsidiary river ports enumerated in Article I, to foreign shipping, was the subject of much discussion. It was finally agreed that they should be opened as calling-places for steamers. There will thus be at these neither resident community nor Consular establishment.\n\nThe access conceded to steamers excepted, trade at these ports of call will be conducted as it would at an inland centre. Steamers may land or ship passengers or goods, but by means of native boats only, and subject to the regulations in force affecting native trade; that is to say, that the goods they land or ship will be liable to li-kin or other abnormal taxation, just as they would if they were carried in native bottoms, unless protected by a transit-duty certificate. This protection, of course under Treaty, should equally avail them in native bottoms; otherwise, the only difference between the native craft and the steamer at these places is, that the latter may not land export produce for sale. It may carry it from the market at which it is purchased to a stated port for exportation, but may not dispose of it in transitu; that is to say, certificated produce shipped in the steamer is under the same conditions as certificated produce brought by canals or otherwise from an inland market. The boon is the right acquired by our steamers to frequent these places; the consequent increase of facility for trade, and the multiplication of points of contact—a chief source of hope for the future.\n\nThe provision in Article II for the definition of a settlement area where none has been previously defined I have said is but a pendant to the provision of Article I, that Her Majesty's Government should be recommended to allow the so-called Concessions at the different ports to be regarded as the area of exemption from li-kin.\n\nThe term concession, first adopted at Shanghae, is more or less a misnomer. It is applied, at some ports, as at Tien-tsin for instance, to the tracts of ground which, at the instance of the agents of various Governments, have been marked off as the ground within which their nationals may purchase building sites of the Chinese proprietors. At some ports, as, for instance, at Amoy, ground has either never been marked off at all, or if marked off has been left unoccupied because it was unsuitable. But at no point has the foreign community, of late years, been restricted to a particular plot of ground, be the tenure what it might. The acquisition of such particular plots is for many reasons useful, especially at a new port; but the words, \"or at other places,\" were introduced into Article XI of the Treaty of 1858, which provides for the acquisition of building sites at the open ports, for the express purpose of enabling British subjects,\n\n## 115\n\n... \n## 281", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 320120, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882", "page_number": 84, "title": "CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882", "content_text": "## on the east, or piece of land which was set apart for the New Garden extensions by the Government about 11 years ago, and which has since been reserved for garden purposes, but which, for want of funds has not been brought into order.

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

No 42\n\n### Partie Officielle\n\nalerie. – Par décis. minist. du 4 février 1885, M. du Pin de Saint-André, lieut. au 5 rég. de chass, est passé au 3′′ rég. de spahis.\n\n...\n\n### Discours de M. Félix Faure, sous-secrétaire d'État de la marine et des colonies\n\nMessieurs,\n\nEn même temps que nous donnions ainsi à tous les établissements français le droit de prendre part à la préparation des actes législatifs concernant les colonies, nous nous efforcions de développer les institutions qui doivent permettre à nos établissements d'administrer eux-mêmes leurs affaires intérieures. C'est ainsi que Vous êtes saisis en ce moment des projets d'organisation des conseils généraux de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon et que nous soumettons à l'étude d'une de vos sections le projet concernant la constitution et l'organisation du conseil général de nos établissements d'Océanie.\n\nDepuis qu'en 1759 un arrêt du conseil d'État du roi créait la représentation officielle des colonies près de l'administration métropolitaine, tous les gouvernements qui se sont succédé en France ont compris qu'il était indispensable de faire soutenir les intérêts coloniaux par les représentants autorisés de nos établissements d'outre-mer.\n\nLa création du conseil supérieur des colonies a eu pour objet de grouper autour de l'administration les hommes qui, à des titres différents, paraissent le plus aptes à l'éclairer dans la direction des affaires multiples et complexes qui constituent le service des colonies.\n\nIl ne m'appartient pas de faire ici l'exposé complet de vos travaux : cet exposé trouvera sa place dans le rapport, qu'aux termes du décret constitutif du conseil, vous devez présenter chaque année au ministre. Je vous proposerai, tout à l'heure, de confier la préparation à une commission de huit membres composée des présidents des quatre sections, auxquels chaque section adjoindra un de ses membres.\n\nMais, sans empiéter sur la tâche dévolue à cette commission, je crois utile, à l'ouverture de cette session, de passer rapidement en revue les faits saillants qui se sont produits pendant l'année 1884 et les principales mesures prises par l'administration dans le domaine qui lui est spécialement réservé.\n\nLe décret qui a constitué votre assemblée, messieurs, en conviant à vos travaux les délégués de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, de Mayotte, de Nossi-Bé et de Tahiti, complétait l'union permanente et absolue qui, dans notre pensée, doit exister entre la mère-patrie et les colonies.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, par quelle suite de circonstances, par quels événements diplomatiques et militaires nous avons été amenés en Extrême-Orient et en Afrique, au Tonkin et à Madagascar, à affirmer nos droits et à étendre notre domaine colonial. Les traités du 6 juin avec l'Annam, du 17 juin 1884 avec le Cambodge, qui sont soumis à la ratification du Parlement, auront pour résultat, tout en respectant dans la mesure qu'il convient l'autonomie des pays sur lesquels la France exerce son protectorat, d'assurer à notre pays une action prépondérante sur une des régions les plus fertiles et les plus riches en produits de toute nature de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nLa Cochinchine offre de prendre à sa charge l'organisation des contributions indirectes, dans l'Annam et dans le Tonkin, et le conseil colonial vient de voter un million de francs pour faire face aux premières dépenses nécessaires à la nouvelle organisation administrative du Cambodge.\n\nSur la côte occidentale d'Afrique, bien qu'avec moins d'éclat, l'action du pays a eu de nombreuses occasions de se manifester. La France établie au Sénégal et au Gabon a été une des premières puissances qui ait acquis des droits sur les côtes du continent noir, où toutes les nations de l'Europe semblent aujourd'hui se donner rendez-vous. Il a paru utile de consacrer officiellement et d'exercer effectivement sur de nombreux points les droits de souveraineté ou de protectorat que des traités déjà anciens nous avaient acquis.\n\nUn décret du 16 décembre 1883 a donné au commandant du Gabon, sous le titre de commandant supérieur des établissements du golfe de Guinée, la haute main sur tous les établissements français situés au sud du Sénégal. A Porto-Novo, l'agent commercial qui remplissait les fonctions de résident, a été remplacé par un officier supérieur d'infanterie de marine qui, joignant à sa qualité de commandant particulier de Kotonou celle de résident à Porto-Novo, a été chargé de maintenir les droits de la République sur cette région.\n\nVous savez que la conclusion adoptée par une imposante majorité a été d'inviter le Gouvernement à faire valoir les droits incontestés de la France. La corps expéditionnaire n'a pas failli à sa mission: nous occupons Tamatave, Majunga et le nord de l'île, depuis le brillant succès de Vohemar. Les compagnies de volontaires, organisées dès le début de l'expédition, avec un patriotique empressement, par la colonie de la Réunion, ont rivalisé d'ardeur avec les vaillantes troupes placées sous les ordres de l'amiral Miot. Dès aujourd'hui, il est permis d'affirmer que leurs efforts n'auront pas été stériles.\n\nParis, 11 Février 1885.\n\nLe Président de la République et M. Jules Grévy recevront, au Palais de l'Élysée, ce soir 12 février.\n\n### Partie Non Officielle", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331622, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-228 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [7-9]", "page_number": 96, "title": "CO129-228 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [7-9]", "content_text": "94\n\nreplied by forwarding a copy of the European Vagrancy Act of 1894.\n\nNo reply has been received from the British Consul at San Francisco.

The first was with regard to the salary of the Aide-de-Camp which had been increased to bring it up to the amount paid to the Private Secretary. This was necessary as he was not allowed to draw any portion of his military pay while serving as Aide-de-Camp. Although there had been a slight increase in his salary he was afraid it would not be sufficient, and that the Governor would have to supplement it from his own pocket.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING said he thought the Private Secretary was hardly paid enough to buy clothes with.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**-There is no doubt the Private Secretary has a great many private expenses. He has to pay his own passage to here and from here.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING-I should suggest that a representation be made to the Government that the Private Secretary should receive some remuneration more appropriate to the position he holds.\n\nHon. Byar-We have no power to increase the estimates. We can only cut them down.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**-Certainly, but there can be no harm in making a note of Mr. Bell-Irving's suggestion.\n\nThe Estimate was approved.\n\n## COLONIAL SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the increase under this heading was in the case of the first clerk. Alves had been a very long time in the Colony and it was thought proper to grant him an increase.\n\nEstimate approved.\n\n## THE AUDIT OFFICE\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said in this department also the increase was in consequence of an addition to the salary of the first clerk. He had been in the service for some thirty-five years, and the Governor recommended that he should get an additional personal allowance.\n\nEstimate approved.\n\n## THE TREASURY\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the first increase in this department was two small additional sums of $10 per month for two of the clerks. Then there was the question of the salary of the Assessor. Mr. Lister had made very strong representations in favour of granting an increase to Mr. Hooper in consideration of how well and carefully he had done his work, and thus added to the revenue of the Colony. The Governor had taken this into consideration, and when Mr. Hooper's present agreement was at an end, the additional salary would come into force. There were also some charges for the collection of Taxes, the Treasury having now taken over the whole of this work.\n\nThe Estimate was agreed to.\n\n## THE SURVEYOR-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said that there was a very large increase in the estimates for this department. The Surveyor-General was not present, and although he was not responsible for the whole of this increase he thought it would be better to allow this to stand over until he was able to attend.\n\nThe consideration of this Estimate was therefore postponed.\n\n## POSTMASTER GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said that some time ago Mr. Lister had represented to the Council that he was unable to do the work of the Post Office with the staff at his disposal, and the number of clerks was increased from 6 to 11. The increase of salary of the clerk at Shanghai was according to agreement. There was another increase which should be mentioned. Mr. Travers had represented that it was absolutely necessary for him to have a steam launch for his department. At the present moment there was only a rickety old boat, which was certainly not sufficient for the work.\n\nHon. P. RYDER said the letters were always brought off in the steamship Company's launch.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said if the agent was ready to leave the steamer the mails were brought off at once, but it sometimes happened that the agent had to see the captain on business and the mails had to wait for him. If the cost of the launch were granted it would, of course, be necessary to grant other incidental expenses such as stores, coal, &c. He did not think it was a proper position for the Postmaster to be in, that of having to ask as a favour from the agent that he would bring the mails off in his launch.\n\nThe Estimate was approved.\n\n## THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said there was a small increase in this department. The first item was a personal allowance to the first clerk, who had been in the department for many years. Then there was an allowance for a Mandarin teacher for passed cadets. This had been omitted in last year's Estimates, but had been restored now. It was absolutely necessary to employ this man. Two cadets were sent to Peking, and when they came back they had no opportunity of speaking the dialect, and unless they had the assistance of a teacher forgot it altogether. He did not think that in future any more cadets would be sent to Peking.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING asked if Mr. May was going to return to the colony.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he was at present in a very sad condition. The doctors had been obliged to break the bones of his leg after setting three times, and the bone seemed to absolutely refuse to mend. Mr. May, himself, however, seemed hopeful, and his last application was for two months' additional leave.\n\nEstimate agreed to.\n\n## THE HARBOUR MASTER'S DEPARTMENT\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said there was a small increase under this heading in the shape of an increase in the salary of the Inspector of junks who had been a very long time in the service. There was also an increase in the salary of the signalman at Victoria Peak, who had been there for some years and for whom there was no chance of promotion. There was also some expense incurred for the telephone at the Import and Export Office. It was decided by the Legislative Council, at the suggestion of one of the members, that this office should be connected by telephone with the exchange, and it was found that the sum voted for that purpose was not sufficient.\n\nHon. W. M. DEANE asked if there was to be an Assistant Harbour Master.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the matter was being kept open. The appointment had been offered by the Secretary of State to Mr. Hamilton, who was now at Labuan, acting as Governor, he believed, but whether Mr. Hamilton would accept it or not was not known.\n\nHon. B. LAYTON said he thought the office of Assistant Harbour Master had been done away with.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he did not see how the office could be done without. The work that had to be done in connection with emigration was something enormous, and he thought there would now be more work. The Governor was looking into the subject of emigration and he (the Colonial Secretary) thought there would soon be legislation in regard to it.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING suggested that a cadet should be appointed to the office.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the Harbour Master's department would be a very good school for a cadet.\n\nHon. W. M. DEANE said he should have thought the Harbour Master's department was one where it was absolutely necessary to have an officer with a knowledge of Chinese. The late Mr. Tonnochy and Mr. Lister had both filled the post of Assistant Harbour Master.\n\nHon. B. LAYTON said he thought a knowledge of Chinese would be very useful in the Harbour Master's office.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY**-There is at the present moment some little difficulty in regard to the appointment. The emigration laws will have to be revised, and what share the Registrar-General will take and what share the Emigration Officer is not settled. If the whole of the work is carried out at the Harbour Office it would be a very good place for a cadet. Much greater care will have to be taken in regard to the passing of emigrants. Scarcely a steamer passes Green Island but two or three men jump overboard and they say have been kidnapped.\n\nHon. B. LAYTON-A great deal of roguery does go on, and that is why you want some one...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-239 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 338538, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888", "page_number": 466, "title": "CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888", "content_text": "B & ÷ (26,852) 6000 9--87\n\nOffice or Individual, \nHong Kong \nNo. \n1114 \nRaphers MJD \nLease \nDate. \n1888 \n16 Jan \n455 \nDOMESTIC.\n\n(Subject.) \n1914 \n16 \nOPCE 17 JAN RH \nMarine Lot 184. \n\nLast previous Paper. \nZor \n38387-8 \nand 20 Jan.

MEIGH GOODMAN**, \nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nF. HENDERSON, Esq., \nSecretary, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.\n\n## \"IMPERIEUSE\" \nat Hongkong.\n\nSIR,-I have the honour to enclose for your consideration copy of a letter addressed to me by the Committee of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce covering a correspondence relative to the missing steamer Somdetch Phra Nang which it is therein stated has been forwarded to your Excellency for transmission to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n2. Under ordinary circumstances I should not have considered it necessary to address your Excellency on a subject you are not concerned in dealing with directly, but as the manner in which this question has been entered upon by the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce appears to me to be so improper, and misleading both as regards the spirit in which it is treated, the false issues which are raised and the unworthy imputations cast upon myself, I deem it proper to deal with the question locally, rather than to follow the ordinary course of allowing the correspondence to go forward without comment, as the light in which the subject is presented is calculated to cause false and mischievous impressions as to the facts which it is right should be exposed.\n\n3. I have to premise by remarking that the correspondence as far as I am concerned begins and ends with the letter of the Agent of the Scottish Oriental Company and with my reply thereto, as no further representation of any kind has since been made to me, nor has he taken the trouble even to correct my impression conveyed to him that the Company had a regular line of steamers engaged in the same trade.\n\n4. This is however unimportant, as my decision was not based upon the supposition that the Company would take any measures for their own part, but on the futility of instituting a search under the circumstances of the case as presented to me.\n\n5. The circumstances are as follows:-The steamer Somdetch Phra Nang bound for Hongkong was sighted North of Cabra Island at the entrance of the Gulf of Manila on the 22nd December, and \"terrible weather\" was experienced by the steamer Nam Chow bound on the same voyage which caused that vessel to run back to Manila, arriving at Hongkong finally on the 2nd of January, and what I was asked to do by the letter received on the 12th January or 21 days after the missing vessel was last seen off the entrance of the Gulf of Manila, was to send a vessel, in the height of the N.E. Monsoon, over 600 miles, to search the coast of the Island of Luzon where it was suggested she might be lying all that time short of coal.\n\n6. Now the great Island of Luzon is the principal Island of the Philippine Group, with main telegraphic communication throughout its length, and large coasting trade, and it is altogether unreasonable to suppose that a British vessel could be in any of its bays or wrecked upon its coast for two days without the fact becoming known to Her Majesty's Consul at Manila &c., with whom it would seem the Company did not even think it necessary so much as to communicate by telegraph, and yet at the end of three weeks a request was made for the services of a ship of war to proceed upon such a useless quest as to search the coast of that Spanish Island.\n\n7. Equally useless would it have been to send a vessel to the Scarborough shoal, for no ship striking on that dangerous reef in the height of the N.E. Monsoon would hold together for three hours to say nothing of three weeks and it must have been patent to any practical man that search in the manner indicated would have been absolutely useless and unavailing.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-254 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 349478, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-255 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [5-7]", "page_number": 430, "title": "CO129-255 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [5-7]", "content_text": "## No heading found in the original text\n\n\nbe drawn between a ship taking coal on board for consumption for her own use and a ship loading or unloading a cargo of coal, and that the first operation should be allowed while the latter is forbidden.\n\nAs regards the liability of the owners of godowns, it is the case that an owner may receive cargo on a Sunday from a ship alongside working without a permit, but in such a case the master, or in his absence the agent of the ship, is liable to a penalty of $1000, and that is, in my opinion, a sufficient deterrent.\n\nWith respect to the definition of cargo, the present definition excludes, and properly so to my mind, \"mails, personal baggage, live stock, ice, or articles of food of a perishable nature required for... \n\nPage 429", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-255 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 349948, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-256 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [8-12]", "page_number": 256, "title": "CO129-256 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [8-12]", "content_text": "# 253\n\n## DESPATCH.\n\nthe Crown Agents the discretionary authority referred to, subject to the condition mentioned in the last paragraph of the despatch.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nMy Lord Marquis,\nYour Lordships Most Obedient\nHumble Servant,\nWitham Rebentgss\n\nL(1216)-22916---6000-2-92\n\n| No. | Date | Previous Paper | Subsequent Paper |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 285 | 1892 Sept. | | Hong Kong No. 21593 |\n\n## C.

The symptoms were almost identical with those of the plague, and there is only too much reason to believe that this is the commencement of the disease in the hitherto uninfected eastern district. The agent of the Messageries Maritimes Company issued the following express on Wednesday: To order to avoid sanitary difficulties in further ports the steamer Oceanien, leaving at 2 p.m., will take neither passengers nor cargo.\n\n18th May: The continuation of the rain on Thursday was hailed with great satisfaction, and both plague and water famine, from which we have been suffering, will doubtless in a few days entirely disappear. There is some indication that the plague is already abating and that the conditions favourable to its development having been removed by the rain, the port will soon be declared free from the disease. The total number of deaths reported from noon on Wednesday to noon yesterday was 20, of which 2 occurred on the Hygeia, 9 in Kennedy town Hospital, and 9 in outside districts. There were only 10 new cases yesterday, 3 being admitted to the Hygeia, and 7 to the Kennedy town Hospital. 44 cases are at present under treatment,\n\nThe following circular has been issued by the Sanitary Board for the guidance of all concerned, and has been circulated among the police and sanitary officers:\n\nObservations to be made by officers conducting house to house visitation:\n\n1. See if the patient is feverish. \n2. Look for swellings (buboes) under the arms, on the groin, on the neck, above the elbow. \n3. Observe if the patient has an anxious expression and if he is walking with a tottering gait.\n\nThe rainfall registered to 10 a.m. on Wednesday, for the preceding twenty-four hours, was 0.26 inch, and for the twenty-four hours ending 10 a.m. on Thursday 2.23 inches. There were heavy showers later in the day.\n\nOur Saigon correspondent telegraphs that Hongkong has been declared an infected port and vessels arriving at Saigon are subjected to six days' quarantine.\n\nPRECAUTIONS AT MACAO.\n\nThe following order is published in the Macao Boletim Oficial:\n\nBubonic plague having appeared in epidemic form in the neighbouring ports of Canton and Hongkong and causing a considerable number of deaths amongst the Chinese population of those two cities;\n\nAt the Police Court on Tuesday there were several cases of failure to report the occurrence of the disease, and doubtless a few convictions and fines will make landlords more alive to the vital necessity of bringing the cases to the attention of the authorities without the slightest delay. Ning Kin and Lan Chuk, widows, the occupants respectively of Nos. 72 and 74, Market Street, were charged by Inspector Quincey before Mr. H. E. Wodehouse with neglecting to report the outbreak of plague in their houses. The Inspector stated that he visited the places and found men suffering from the disease, whom he had removed to the Hygeia. The symptoms were very pronounced at the time and there would be no difficulty in identifying the disease. His Worship fined the first defendant $2 or fourteen days' and discharged the second. Lai You Chang, a teacher, for a similar neglect in respect to a case at 10, Wai Tak Lane, was fined $5 or in default 14 days' imprisonment.\n\nThe fire engines on Tuesday were engaged in flushing the sewers and drains of the Taiping-shan district from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The water was pumped from the harbour by the floating engine up to the Hollywood Road level and from thence to the China Road. A good quantity of water was used. This operation will be continued to-day.\n\nDepartmental orders have also been issued calling upon the Chinese to keep their houses clean.\n\n19th May. It is regrettable to have to report that the plague has again increased and that both the numbers of deaths, admissions, and cases are larger than those of the previous day. It will be remembered that the returns on Thursday on the face of them showed a gratifying diminution of the disease, and the copious downfall of rain continuing it was confidently and naturally anticipated that this diminution would be even more pronounced yesterday. The official returns, however, up to noon on Friday show that in the twenty-four hours 25 deaths occurred, 7 were from noon on Thursday on board the Hygeia, 9 at Kennedy town Hospital, and 9 outside, as against a mortality of 21 on Thursday. The new cases were 29, viz, 12 on the Hygeia and 17 at Kennedy town, being an increase of 19. The total number of cases under treatment is 56 against 44 at the last report. This increase is not regarded by the authorities in a serious light, and no apprehensions are entertained that the disease is baffling the exertions made to stamp it out. In fact, the medical officers take a hopeful view and feel sure that the worst is now past. The increase is ascribed to the complete organisation which is operating for the detection of cases. On Friday twelve men from the Royal Engineers and twelve from the Shropshire Light Infantry were enrolled as special sanitary officers, which makes the staff numerically strong and adequate to the necessities of the work to be done. The house to house visitation is divided into sections, and it is almost impossible now that cases of plague can pass undiscovered.\n\nThe Manila authorities have prescribed 15 days' observation on all vessels arriving from this port.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Friday a hawker was charged with failing to report a case of plague which occurred in his house on the 17th inst. Defendant pleaded that he could not leave the premises, but Commander W. H. Hastings, before whom the case was heard, imposed a fine of $50 with an alternative of two months' hard labour.\n\n21st May,\n\nHaving received the advice of the Provincial Sanitary Board:\n\nI hereby order:\n\n1. That the supply of water to the public by boats stationed along the Praia Grande and in the inner harbour be continued with the greatest regularity.\n\n2. That the drains be flushed daily, especially in the districts occupied by the Chinese population, and more particularly the districts of Volong, San-kin, Sa-tong, Patane, Mong-ha, and the village of Barra.\n\n3. That the pavement of the slaughter house and its appendages be daily washed with salt water.\n\n4. That on the arrival of any vessel from Canton or Hongkong, including the steamers and launches of the regular lines, an officer of the Sanitary Board shall inspect the passengers, and especially the Chinese passengers, to ascertain if any of them are suffering from the bubonic plague or exhibit suspicious symptoms.\n\n5. That the commandant of the water police shall give the necessary directions in order that lorcha or other boats from Hongkong or Canton may not land any individual suspected to be suffering from the disease; and any case presenting its symptoms shall be detained on board until examined by an officer of the Sanitary Board, who shall be immediately informed.\n\n6. If any passenger be found to be suffering from bubonic plague, whether on board steamers or launches, such passenger shall not be landed; and if any case of the disease be found on a sailing vessel or boat propelled by oars the vessel shall be immediately to be immediately towed out of the harbour, and removed by a copious rainfall we may confidently anticipate the speedy disappearance of the evil result.\n\nGovernment Palace, Macao,\n\n15th May, 1894.\n\nThe Governor of the Province,\n\nJose M. da Horta e Costa.\n\nwork of soaching and disinfecting the localities\n\nfor development it was hoped that in a few days such an appreciable conquest of the disease would be achieved that no further danger need be anticipated. A certain section of the Chinese have now, however, attempted to frustrate all these efforts, and are determined to assert aggressively the ignorance and stupidity which peculiarly belong to the multitude of the natives. It will be remembered that one of the first acts of the permanent committee was to order the removal of all patients from the Tung Wah Hospital to the Hygeia, and the next wise edict was that no patients were to be sent there, but removed direct to the bulk. There was at the time much grumbling and opposition to this course, the patients themselves, with the instinct of their race, objecting, sometimes violently to their removal to the Hygeia and their treatment by Western skill and science. It appears that this feeling of resentment has been simmering and increasing during the past few days, and on Saturday it broke bounds and completely disorganised the work of cleansing, disinfecting, and investigating, which was in progress. Mr. Lau Wai Chuen, a member of the Sanitary Board and also Chairman of the Tung Wah Hospital Committee, has, with an intelligence which unfortunately does not belong to all his countrymen, lost the Government his hearty co-operation in the measures they have taken. Some of his colleagues on the Hospital Committee, however, imbued with anti-foreign feeling, have resisted this policy, and by their influence have created a strong opposition among the native population to the work which the authorities are prosecuting with such vigour.\n\nMay 24, 1894.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\n198\n\n4.3\n\nAnother case occurred yesterday among the Portuguese community, the patient being taken to the Hygeia.\n\nSingapore has imposed nine days' quarantine, including the time occupied by the passage, rioting, the Government having met the Tung Wah Hospital Committee in their demand that there be no further danger of a renewal of the.\n\nMEETING AT THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL\n\nA largely attended meeting of Chinese was held on Sunday at the Tung Wah Hospital, there being present about seventy members of the leading firms and some four hundred others. The Captain Superintendent of Police and the Colonial Surgeon attended the meeting.\n\nMr. Lau Wai Chuen occupied the chair. He said that many people had preferred a request that persons suffering from the plague should be allowed to be conveyed to Canton, if their relatives so desired, by special launches.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police replied that he was instructed to state that information had that morning been received from Canton that the officials there would not allow persons suffering from the disease to be landed there. Mr. Lau Wai Chuen interpreted Mr. May's reply to the meeting, who received it with strong marks of dissatisfaction. Mr. Lau Wai Chuen, endeavoured to maintain order and said he would personally apply to the Government here and the officials at Canton in relation to the matter. He suggested that they should send a petition to Canton signed by all the leading firms of the colony.\n\nYesterday morning the sanitary officers reported a house supposed to be empty and made the horrible discovery that there were five corpses on the premises and four very serious cases, all exhibiting pronounced symptoms of the plague.\n\nYesterday morning one of the turnkeys in the Victoria Gaol reported himself sick and Dr. Marques, suspecting from the symptoms that the man was suffering from plague, sent him immediately to hospital. A prisoner in the gaol, who had been convicted for not reporting a case of plague, was also removed to the new Chinese Hospital for treatment.\n\nThe arrangements for the burial of victims of the plague do not appear to be quite satisfactory. A good deal of delay takes place before the bodies are interred, separate graves having to be dug in a rather rocky and refractory soil. The squatters on the land contiguous to this cemetery have petitioned the Government on the matter. Evidently a more suitable site ought to be selected.\n\nOn Saturday many of the houses visited were blockaded and the sanitary officers stoned, and in the afternoon all attempts to continue the house to house inspection had to be discontinued, the work being rendered exceedingly unsafe and difficult. A mob also collected at the Po Leung Kuk office and broke the windows, but was dispersed by the police before doing further damage. On Sunday, while a meeting at the Tung Wah Hospital was in progress, Mr. Lau was hurriedly sent for, news arriving that his hong was being wrecked. When Mr. Lau left the building he was surrounded by a howling mob of Chinese and had to be escorted by police to his residence. Mr. P. R. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, grasped the situation at once and sent a mounted contingent of armed Sikhs to the district, the presence of which fortunately prevented further disturbances.\n\nThe Government have so far met the Chinese opposition as to assent to the establishment of a temporary hospital under the management of the Tung Wah at the Glassworks, Kennedy town, to which all patients will be removed and where they will be treated by native practitioners, and the use of the Hygeia for the reception of plague patients will be discontinued.\n\nOn Sunday the house to house inspection was recommenced, the officers being protected by a strong police guard.\n\nSome cases have been reported on the mainland and proclamations have been issued prohibiting the immigration of Chinamen from Hongkong. At Haiphong several persons have fallen victims to the disease.\n\nThis suggestion was unanimously agreed to. The Captain Superintendent of Police said that rumours were current that people not suffering from the disease had been taken to the Hygeia and the Kennedy town Hospital, people who were not sick at all, but this could be at once disproved if any of those present would go with him to examine the patients, when it would be seen they were all sick people suffering from the plague. If those attacked were not segregated it would be impossible to prevent the spread of the disease, and he referred to the visitation of the plague in England two hundred years ago and the great mortality it caused. He suggested to the Chairman that he should advise the people that they should avoid overcrowding in their dwellings, and then the number of persons attacked by the disease would decrease.\n\nCONFERENCE AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.\n\nAn important conference was held yesterday at Government House for the purpose of discussing the new turn events have taken and considering the course of action to be adopted in the immediate future. His Excellency Sir William Robinson presided, and there were also present H.E. Major-General Barker, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (Acting Colonial Secretary), Hon. N. G. Mitchell-Innes (Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Ho Kai, Dr. P. B. C. Ayres (Colonial Surgeon), Mr. F. H. May (Captain Superintendent of Police), Mr. J. J. R. Crook, Dr. James, Francis Q.C., Mr. J. A. M. S., Dr. Lan Wai Chuen. The meeting lasted for some time. The first business was the consideration of representations by the permanent committee of the Sanitary Board as to the inadequacy of the number of sanitary officers.\n\nApplication was made for the enrolling of 400 assistants for the work of cleansing and disinfecting.\n\nAt this stage of the proceedings a petition was presented from the residents in East Street complaining of the treatment they had received at the hands of the sanitary officers, entering their houses unexpectedly and frightening the children. The petitioners asked that attention should be given to this matter.\n\nAt this time news arrived that a mob was attacking Mr. Lau Wai Chuen's establishment in Bonham Strand, the Tung San Wo, and\n\nOn Sunday night everything was quiet and it was hoped there would be no renewal of the disturbances.\n\nThe decrease in the number of cases reported for the twenty-four hours up to noon on Sunday is, it is to be feared, due to interruption of the inspection rather than to any actual diminution of the disease.\n\nA notice was subsequently issued by the Committee of the Tung Wah Hospital stating that the Government has consented to allow all patients suffering from plague to be treated by the doctors of the Tung Wah Hospital. The notice also informs the people that they need not be alarmed by the visits of the sanitary officers, as any one found to be suffering from plague will now be removed to the Tung Wah's branch hospital instead of being taken to the Hygeia.\n\nAt the Police Court on Saturday there were some more cases of failure to report outbreaks of plague. Wong Chan, a married woman, was so charged. P.S. Moffat said that he visited the house of the defendant No. 64, First Street, at 11 a.m. on the 18th. In the first room visited he found a man lying dead, and another man (the husband of the defendant) was very ill in the same apartment. In another room in the Cookhouse he discovered a woman very ill lying under a bed, and in the cockloft a girl was seriously ill. All, both the dead and the living, had the symptoms of bubonic plague. Defendant pleaded that she was a very poor woman, and was fined $5, which she paid. Chan Chol, a shopkeeper at No. 6, Hung Lane, off Queen's Road West, was also charged with concealing a case. P.S. Smith said that he went into the premises and found a man suffering from plague. There were a number of persons present, who ran away on his arrival. A like fine was imposed.\n\nWe have heard of a somewhat curious case in connection with the plague. A few days ago a coolie was charged with cutting and wounding a companion and the hearing of the charge was remanded for a week by the sitting Magistrate, bail of $250 being allowed and procured. The following day the unlucky coolie was seized with the disease and died on board the Hygeia.\n\nThe Spanish Consul received the following official telegram despatch from Manila at 9:53 a.m. on Saturday: \"Hongkong has been declared an infected port, and vessels from thence are subject to fifteen days' quarantine.\"\n\nInformation has also been received that a proclamation will be issued to-day addressed to the Chinese explaining the objects of the preventative measures now being prosecuted and calling upon them to co-operate therein and assist the Government.\n\nMr. May stated at the meeting yesterday that he and his assistants had been welcomed and not obstructed in the different houses visited.\n\nThe following are the returns for the twenty-four hours to noon yesterday:\n\nHygeia, Kennedy town Hospital, City, Total, Decrease.\n\nAdmissions: 2, 3, 0, 5, \nDeaths: 3, 2, 0, 5, \nUnder treatment: 26, 20, 17, 63, 28\n\nThe Government, we understand, is fully prepared to support the permanent committee of the Sanitary Board to the utmost. There is a suspicion that jealousy between different sections of the Chinese is at the bottom of the recent disturbances and ill-feeling.\n\nTHE DISTURBANCES-POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS.\n\nMr. H. E. Wodehouse was yesterday morning engaged at the Police Court in hearing several cases arising out of the disturbances in Chinatown reported in yesterday's issue.\n\nYesterday Yea Kay, a hawker, was charged with behaving in a disorderly manner in Po Yan Street.\n\nPage 403\n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 354500, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "page_number": 234, "title": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "content_text": "231\n\ndefiance, for\n\n210\n\nave, un\n\nunless\n\nit is the moutance Offices,\n\ncontrol\n\nber\n\nin\n\nThen it\n\nany way. may\n\nbe said.\n\n\"Wies not the Chinese Authori.\n\n\"ties help by forbidding their subjects to\n\novercrowd the steamer out of regard for their country's\n\nman's liver.\n\nto\n\nI have frica\n\nmove them but without\n\nresult.

They have always been imposed for the express purpose of providing for the construction and maintenance of Lighthouses, Buoys and Beacons and for no other purpose whatsoever. It has happened that in the course of time the precise object for which a light due has been imposed has been lost sight of and that a profit revenue has in fact been derived from it, but so soon as attention has been called to the fact there has been an express disclaimer and a reduction or abolition of the charge. In the Dardanelles and Bosphorus such a discovery has recently been made, and the representatives of all the Powers are pressing the Porte for a reduction of the dues to an amount sufficient to cover the expenses. In England a Departmental Committee of the Board of Trade have just reported on the same subject and have unanimously recommended the equalization of all light dues and their diminution to an amount calculated to cover expenses and no more. The strongest representations have been made to the Government to relieve Shipping entirely of this burden and to transfer it to the General Revenue but so far without success; the principle, however, is clearly admitted that the light dues on shipping should not be made a source of profit.\n\n6. We have further to point out to your Excellency that the continuance of these Light Dues as a permanent charge is an injustice to Foreign shipping, and will tend to deter vessels from coming to the port. The Export Trade from the East has for some time past been passing through a period of very great depression. During the greater part of the last twelve months rates from the Straits Settlements averaged from 5/- to 8/- per ton, and from Ceylon about 7/-, and for some descriptions of cargo rates from China and Japan have been as low as 15/-. Interport trade has also been at a very low ebb for some time past and there is no apparent prospect of any improvement in the immediate future. Every item of expenditure has to be closely watched, and a comparatively small difference in the expenditure at a port may determine the course of a vessel's voyage. Steamers coming out to Japan and Shanghai are no longer as formerly compelled to call at Hongkong for coals or stores. The great increases in speed, the diminution in the consumption of coal and greater bunker capacity enable vessels to make the voyage direct to Yokohama or Shanghai without coming into Hongkong. The inducement to call is often very slight. Frequently it is a question, even with a big steamer, of taking in or discharging as little as 100 to 200 tons of cargo. The Light Dues to be paid may make all the difference between a profit and a loss on small quantities of cargo, and may decide the steamer to avoid the port. If she does not call then her expenditure here is entirely lost to the residents, and a permanent injury done to the trade of the Colony.\n\n7. We respectfully protest against this deliberate taxation of shipping frequenting the Port for the benefit of the General Revenue of the Colony. It is entirely opposed to the idea of a Free Port. It is an additional burden with no corresponding advantage whatever upon an already heavily burdened interest. Its tendency is in every doubtful case to drive away from the Port steamers and ships which would otherwise call and necessarily spend money here, by perceptibly increasing their expenses, at a time when every expenditure has to be most minutely considered and weighed.

The master or other person having the control of any vessel in quarantine shall give the Health Officer or Boarding Officer such information about the vessel and the voyage and the health of the crew and passengers and otherwise as the Health Officer or Boarding Officer may require, and shall answer truly and fully all questions put to him by the Health Officer or Boarding Officer.\n\n6. When any vessel is in quarantine--\n(a) If, in the opinion of the Health Officer, any persons on board are suffering from any infectious or contagious disease they shall be removed to the Hospital ship Hygeia or be otherwise disposed of under his directions.\n(b) Where, in the opinion of the Health Officer, there are any cases he suspects to be cases of infectious or contagious disease on board, the persons suspected shall be detained on board, or otherwise disposed of, under observation, for a period not exceeding 48 hours from the time that the Health Officer completes his examination of the passengers and crew.\n(c) When the examination of the passengers and crew by the Health Officer has been completed, all who appear to him to be free from any infectious or contagious disease may be allowed to land at once.\n\n7. After the passengers and crew have been dealt with as in section 6 the vessel may be released from quarantine by the express written order of the Health Officer, after such precautions by way of burning clothing and fumigating or otherwise, as he may direct, have been carried out.\n\n8. If any vessel in the waters of this Colony is known to have any case of an infectious or contagious disease on board, or is a vessel which in the opinion of the Health Officer ought according to these regulations to be in quarantine, the Health Officer may order such vessel into quarantine, and the master or person in charge of such vessel shall thereupon hoist the Quarantine Flag upon such vessel and remove the vessel to the Quarantine Anchorage, and all the regulations applicable in relation to vessels in quarantine shall apply to such vessel.\n\n9. In case of a death happening on board any vessel in quarantine, or ordered into quarantine, or on board the Hygeia, the body shall be disposed of in such manner as may be ordered by the Health Officer; and the Master of the vessel shall carry out such orders as the Health Officer may give him in relation to the disposal of the body.\n\n10. When any quarantined vessel is in the waters of the Colony, no person shall leave the vessel, or hold communication from the vessel with the shore, or with any other vessel or boat, or take or send any person or thing whatever out of the vessel, until the express written permission of the Health Officer has been communicated to the master or other person having the control of the vessel, and such precautions as the Health Officer may require have been observed.\n\n11. When any vessel is in quarantine, no person other than the Health Officer or persons in his boat shall approach within 30 yards of such vessel, or hold any communication with such vessel or with any person on board of it, or receive, or take any person or thing whatever directly or indirectly from the vessel or from any person on board of it, without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n12. ... person placed on board the Hygeia shall leave the same without first receiving the express written permission of the Health Officer, or Medical Officer in charge and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require. No person other than the Health Officer, or Medical Officer in charge, or persons deputed by them, shall go on board or approach within 30 yards thereof, or hold on with the Hygeia or with any person in it, or receive or take anything directly or indirectly from the Hygeia or from any person in it without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, or Medical Officer in charge and observing such precautions as such Officer may require.\n\n14. The Captain Superintendent of Police, and any officers that he may appoint for the purpose of enforcing quarantine, may order any person leaving or coming from any vessel that is in quarantine or from the Hygeia, or taking or sending any person or thing whatever from any such vessel, to remain in or return to and to return such persons or things to their vessel or the Hygeia and may by such necessary force as the case requires compel any person neglecting or refusing to observe such order to obey the same.\n\n15.

An offer of 2 dollars a ton was nevertheless smilingly rejected, and I daresay friends in Canton will enlighten him, and, if occasion arise, take due advantage of his ignorance.\n\n## The revival of the silk industry...\n\nThe revival of the silk industry in this province is of comparatively recent date, and was due to the interest taken therein by Ma Pei-rao, who some ten years ago was Provincial Treasurer for Kuanghsi. It cannot be said that his efforts, on the whole, were crowned with success, as the necessary energy and capital to carry on experiments were lacking. In its neighbourhood, however, the mulberry is very extensively grown, and samples of the silk spun locally have been sent to Europe and America, where it would find a market could the growers be brought to see that it is a suicidal policy to hold out for four or five times the real value of their produce, simply because a foreigner makes inquiry regarding the same.\n\n## The export of cassia...\n\nThe export of cassia in South China is almost entirely in the hands of German firms, and once all initial difficulties have been met and overcome, they will no doubt appear on the scene and, as has been the case all over China, take full advantage of our experience, reap the benefit of our efforts without having had in the least to put themselves about.\n\n## The amount of opium produced...\n\nThe amount of opium produced in this province is insignificant, and comes principally from Chen-an-fu. I have in vain been trying to get reliable particulars regarding the Yunnan opium, which passes through on its way to the coast, but have been promised accurate information from Kueilin later on. The taxation on native opium was last year farmed out to a son of the late Governor-General of Yünnan and Kueichou, Ts'ien Yü-ying, for a sum of 38,000 taels per annum, and the total quantity exported here is, I am told, 10,000 piculs representing about 80 per cent. of the import across the Yunnan frontier. Opium which has paid duty at Pose, on entering the province, and is provided with a certificate, pays 2 taels a picul, and again 14 taels (?) at Toucheng on entering Kuang-tung. Uncertificated opium pays 4 taels a picul. Its local value is 220 taels a picul for the best quality. Retail price of refined opium 2 t. 30 m. per ounce.\n\n## Almost every traveller on the West River...\n\nAlmost every traveller on the West River has made reference to the silver mine at Kuei-hsien, said to have been discovered by the Taipings, and as a cargo of coke was recently imported from Hong Kong for the use of that mine, it would appear that yet another attempt is going to be made to work it.\n\n## Wuchow is not without its local manufactures...\n\nWuchow is not without its local manufactures. Two small factories for making matches were started here a few days ago, but one was closed in consequence of a complaint by the Japanese authorities that it was counterfeiting Japanese trade-marks, and the other finds it practically impossible to compete with the imported article. Nearly every town in China has its own brand of matches. The matches in favour locally bear the \"hunter\" mark, and, although inferior to the \"monkey\" brand, which is in use throughout Kuangtung, possess the superior qualification of containing four matches per box more.\n\n## Note regarding Restrictions on Outward Transit Passes\n\nI have, at the moment of writing, received from His Excellency the Governor a despatch on the subject of the restrictions which the Governor-General proposed to place on outward transit passes.\n\nIt is therein stated that Sir Robert Hart, to whom the Tsung-li Yamên referred the Governor-General's suggestion, had pointed out that, except in the case of cereals, any prohibition of the nature indicated would be contrary to Treaty, and that the Yamên had accordingly requested His Excellency to place no obstacle in the way of applicants for outward transit passes, whether foreigners or Chinese, in order that the objectionable monopolizing practices of the former receive a check and the false representations of the latter be brought to an end.\n\nI question, however, if Chinese merchants will avail themselves to any large extent of this privilege. The risk of undue annoyance and interference is too great.\n\n## So long as the views of experts...\n\nSo long as the views of experts regarding the most suitable type of steamer for use on the West River are held in suspense, it would be presumptuous of me to put forward views of my own, more especially as nothing is accurately known regarding the actual conditions at low water. I venture to think, however, that a steamer about 170 feet long, with very great beam, which will be able to carry 500 tons of cargo on a 4 to 5 foot draught, would not prove unsuitable. Large carrying capacity is imperative, as otherwise expenses will never allow of reasonable rates of freight being charged, and junks will prove serious competitors. Should the building of such a steamer be found impracticable, the only other alternative is the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company's system of large flats or lighters, towed by powerful light draught launches. The latter would be able to drop their tows as required at the various points en route and pick up fresh ones. Thus no time would be lost, the necessity for large go-downs less immediate, and the passengers not, as at present, be huddled together, to make room for cargo. Mr. Marty put in a transient appearance on the river at an early stage, and his large indemnity has doubtless placed an amount of spare capital at his disposal, sufficient to enable him to establish serious competition with existing lines should he feel so disposed. It is rumoured that he is negotiating for the purchase of some land near to that bought by Jardine, Matheson, and Co.\n\n## In addition to the \"pool's\" four steamers...\n\nIn addition to the \"pool's\" four steamers there are some six launches large and small, and a German lorcha, which is towed up and down, running regularly to Wuchow, and each gets a few packages of cargo and a certain proportion of passengers.\n\nOf passengers, the movements to and fro per diem amount on an average to 100 in and 90 out, and thus about 10 per cent. of the arrivals remain here. The complaints of the natives of Wuchow that the large influx of Cantonese has considerably raised the cost of living for them, without affording them any compensatory advantages, are not without justification.\n\n## From a carrier's point of view...\n\nFrom a carrier's point of view, it is a matter of great regret that it should not have been practicable to adopt the route, via Fatshan and Sainam, from Canton to Samshui. The latter port can be reached in six hours by the inland channels and small powered launches, whereas the steamers take from ten to twelve hours, the time occupied by a slipper boat in making the same journey. They are also thereby deprived of their share of the large trade which is carried on by junks between Fatshan, Sainam, and Wuchow. The local agent at Jardine, Matheson, and Co. has endeavoured slightly to remedy this state of things by running a stern wheel junk in connection with the steamers between Fatshan and Samshui, and the experiment is proving eminently successful. One reason for this is that the steamer's bulk is at present moored on the Sainam side of the Samshui li-kin station, and thus the junk's cargo escapes payment of the dues to which it would be subject had it to pass that barrier. It remains to be seen what will happen when the steamers can only come as far as Kongken or when the li-kin authorities discover this innocent evasion of their charges.\n\n## The Customs provisional Regulations...\n\nThe Customs provisional Regulations for trade on the West River having only been published on the 10th instant, sufficient time has not yet elapsed to show to what extent they will enable steamers to participate in the transport carried on by junk between the ports and stages, more especially between Kongmun and Hong Kong and Canton. Those interested may congratulate themselves on the total absence of any reference to supplementary payments of li-kin, as, had such been regulated on the Tariff in force on the Yang-tze, foreign vessels would not have secured a single package. To have made shippers pay duty on that basis would simply have been to mulet them one and a-half Tariff duty for shipping in foreign bottoms. On the Yang-tze, where the distances are great, it may prove advantageous, but certainly not on the short stretches of this river.\n\n## Almost every steamer leaving here...\n\nAlmost every steamer leaving here for Hong Kong takes with it sugar and rhea fibre for Kongmun, where the latter is made up into grass cloth. As I understand that, after many years of experiment, a process has been invented whereby this fibre can be successfully manipulated in Europe, a large export trade therein ought to spring up in the future.\n\n## The Canton steamers get a certain amount...\n\nThe Canton steamers get a certain amount of export cargo, chiefly indigo for Samshui, but practically no import cargo. This, I am told, is due to a practice that has for years been tolerated in Canton, in consequence of which a li-kin boat has been allowed to moor alongside of the Customs examination shed, and, whenever cargo has paid Tariff export duty, it is at once pounced upon and made to pay li-kin as well. Chinese shippers at least say such is, or rather will be the case, should they ship by steamer, and, although often urged to do so, no one has hitherto been bold enough to make a trial shipment.\n\n## I hear that Mr. Wang Ts'un-shan...\n\nI hear that Mr. Wang Ts'un-shan has a scheme whereby he hopes to divert all trade from the foreign customs and the steamers into his own hands by a lowering of native duties and li-kin, but as I am not in possession of the figures I am unable to furnish particulars.\n\n## In connection with what I have stated above...\n\nIn connection with what I have stated above regarding a regular transport service to Nanning, a further argument in its favour is that it would do away with the feeling of insecurity, which merchants at present experience owing to the rascality of the boatmen plying on that section of the river. It is by no means an uncommon occurrence for them to decamp with valuable cargoes intrusted to their care, leaving only the shell of their boats.\n\n[1107 p-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-287 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 377694, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-301 - Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [9-12]", "page_number": 163, "title": "CO129-301 - Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [9-12]", "content_text": "(20)\n\nBut Chinese show an increasing tendency to settle in the Colony.

Secy.,\n\nThere will be no difficulty in establishing a sub Post Office at Amoy at such convenient site as H. M. Consul might be good enough to approve of. The clerk in the present Post Office Mr. Simoes should be placed in charge under the Postal Agent. Regarding the suggested reduction in the rate of postage there is nothing to prevent Hongkong fixing its rate for letters at 4 cents per 1/2 oz. and I have no reason to believe that H. E.'s Postmaster General will offer any objection to the same rate being extended for those to the United Kingdom and the British Colonies and Possessions. Any loss of Revenue would fall upon Hongkong, as well as any increase of Transit Charges should the weight of correspondence despatched increase consequent on the reduction. As far as can be estimated the loss of Revenue would be about $3,500.\n\nI await instructions before instructing the Postal Agent at Amoy to establish another Office as also communicating with the Postmaster-General, London.\n\nI would invite attention to Conf.Sec. 52/1901 which deals with the whole question and it may perhaps be as well to have the postage from all British Postal Agencies settled at the same time.\n\n(Sd.)

I have made enquiries, and find that Messrs. Curtis Brothers, one of whom Mr. F. J. Curtis, has recently been appointed Lloyd's Surveyor here, would be willing to undertake the duty at a fixed monthly Allowance the rate of which would have to be determined. The firm consists of two brothers who carry on business as General Storekeepers and Commission Agents and who are highly respected in the Community; their place of business is in the heart of the Foreign Settlement and therefore most suitably situated in all respects. Another great advantage is that the nature of their business makes it necessary for them to maintain a Steamlaunch, besides pull-away boats, and a large staff of boatmen, which they are willing to place at the disposal of the Postal Service on such reasonable terms that I believe the total disbursements on account of the Agency would compare very favourably with those incurred by your Office at Hankow, Amoy and other ports.\n\nIt is difficult, as Messrs. Curtis Brothers point out, to fix a sum to cover the expense before it is seen what will be needed; but you will observe that in the letter they have addressed to me on the subject, copy of which I beg to enclose, they estimate the Allowance which they consider would remunerate them for their services, at One Hundred Dollars - $100 per month - such sum to cover Office rent, services of Postal Clerk, postmen, boat-hire and in fact practically all Agency Expenses. This cannot be considered an exorbitant estimate if the services which it is intended to cover, be taken into consideration; but with the support of the Colonial Government of Wei-Hai-Wei, which is anxious to have a British Office in Chefoo owing to the stress laid both by the War Office and the Colonial Office on mails being sent by British vessels (and through British hands) alone, I think this outlay might be still further reduced as far as your Office is concerned. As a general rule Mails for Wei-Hai-Wei are despatched from Shanghai via this port owing to there being no regular communication direct, and this makes it necessary for the Colony to have an Agent here to receive and re-transmit their bags. At present this duty is done by the Chinese Imperial Post gratuitously, but from what I have gathered from a correspondence which passed between myself and the former Acting Commissioner, I am led to believe they would gladly avail themselves of your Agency were one established here, and have no doubt they would readily contribute to its maintenance, if approached by you on the subject.\n\nI may inform you however that I understand the Colonial", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-312 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 386363, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-313 - Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [10-12]", "page_number": 443, "title": "CO129-313 - Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [10-12]", "content_text": "## HONG KONG\n\nand Class I in Hong Kong as compared with the same classes in Ceylon and the Straits.\n\n439\n\n(The service in each case is reckoned up to the time when each officer received a post in Class I).\n\n| Place | Position | Years |\n|--------------|---------------------------------|-------|\n| CEYLON | 1.

The letter was returned with the words \"Return to Sender\" written across it, and signed \"Hardouin\" (the French Consul).\n\nA protest from the Commissioner of Customs led to an explanation in which M.

This change gives much satisfaction.\n\nThe li-kin tax on sugar, the staple product, is farmed out to a Company for 500,000 taels per annum.\n\nLi-kin on all goods has been raised, and it is now almost impossible to abolish it, as it has to contribute a large proportion towards the annual interest on the debt.\n\nThe house tax has come into operation: 5 per cent. on houses above 20 dollars in value, to be paid by owners of the property.\n\nIn exchange for brevet ranks and honours, contributions are obtained towards the indemnity.\n\n## (a.) International Settlement\n\nThe Island of Kulangsu is now an International Settlement. As far as local conditions will allow, the Regulations and bye-laws are modelled on those of Shanghai.\n\n## (b.) Japanese Activity\n\nThe Japanese Consul (Mr. Ugeno) returned from Japan in the middle of November and at once proceeded to Foochow, where he remained until the end of the quarter. It is said that he has been endeavouring to induce the Viceroy to accept a Japanese loan of 3,000,000 dollars to pay off the French debt, with a view to the Japanese taking over the Foochow arsenal.\n\nLarge sums of money have been passing through the bank from Hong Kong to Amoy and Amoy to Foochow, but it is almost certain that the French will never consent to give the arsenal, especially if the Japanese are to step into their shoes.\n\nThe Chinese authorities, too, have a deep-rooted distrust of the Japanese and are not likely to put themselves in their power, however pressed for money they may be.\n\nThe Japanese Consul has been trying to obtain for a Japanese subject the camphor monopoly in the Province of Fukien. In July last, this monopoly was granted to a Chinese for fifteen years; the purchase money, it is said, being 40,000 taels. Japanese are probably anxious to secure this monopoly, as any development of the trade in Fukien would seriously injure the value of their monopoly in Formosa. The Japanese Consul is said to have made an offer of 60,000 taels for the Fukien monopoly. The Amoy Taotai is very anti-Japanese and has written to the Viceroy advising him not to grant either of the Japanese requests.\n\n## (c.) French Activity\n\nMonkey Island in Amoy Harbour has been purchased by a French Syndicate in Foochow. The owner of the island was an American, Mr. S. J. Edwards. The transfer was effected by M. Claudel, French Consul at Foochow. It is said that the deed of transfer is in three names, but the general opinion held is that the real purchasers are the French Government.\n\n### The French Post-office\n\nThis office is to be opened on the 1st February. M. Bernard, the Superintendent of the French cable, who has recently been appointed Consular Agent, has leased premises for the new post-office in the Chinese suburb at the back or east of the British Concession.\n\n### French Cable\n\nThe offices have been installed in a large house near the Great Northern Telegraph Office, purchased for 18,000 dollars. The cable broke down in November last, and repairs cannot be executed until the Great Northern Company can spare the services of their telegraph ship.\n\nNote. The cable was landed on the 3rd April, 1901.

The Industries of Hong Kong are now an important factor in the commerce of the Colony and it would in my opinion be a grave error to risk hurting them by handicapping them in this way with any difference of exchange between China and this place. The Coal trade between Japan and China and the Sugar trade between Java and China are both suffering from the difference in exchange caused by the gold standard adopted by Japan and Java.\n\nIt is, therefore, evident that a gold standard cripples the industries and exports of the country adopting it when dealing with silver countries.\n\n## Counterarguments to Mr. Wilcox\n\nMr. Wilcox speaks from the point of view of the owner of landed property. His statement that a house let in 1878 for $50 per month does now let for $150 is, I am bound to say, hardly in accordance with facts. I know houses, one of which I occupied 10 years ago, then let at $35 per month which now fetch $125. Houses on the Macdonnell Road have risen in the last four years from $65 to $150 (in one case $170) per month, and it would be interesting to know what the rise in rents of the houses in Belilios Terrace, for which Mr. Wilcox is agent, has been since they were built.\n\n## Mortgages and Banking\n\nThe loss on mortgages, to which Mr. Wilcox refers can only apply to money brought from home; there is no loss to a local Company, whose capital is in silver, as it lends in silver and receives back in silver. The Hongkong Land Company and other similar institutions do a thriving business in mortgages in spite of what Mr. Wilcox says, although all their Capital is in silver. The Capital of the Hong Kong Bank is in silver, but nevertheless it has been a very successful Bank. The nominal capital measured in gold may have shrunk, but the actual assets of those Companies when measured in gold are still in excess of the original capital stated in gold. For instance, the original or nominal Capital of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank was $10,000,000, which at 4s/-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-316 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391858, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 818, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "Wer \n\n0^^^ \n\nDuping which you without salary from the Gold Coast will not count for pension: and that you will not be entitled to suspect Pension in short period of amele\n\nCPL Office or Individual.\n\nJa No. 12911 (Subject.)

One is naturally led to compare it with Wuchow, which the Chinese place second to Nanning in point of importance, but which, after visiting all the principal towns on the West River from Kongmoon to Nanning, I am inclined to think, should now occupy the first place. Nanning is undoubtedly the larger city of the two; its population is estimated at 120,000, as compared with the 60,000 of Wuchow; its streets are larger, its shops more numerous, its guild-houses richer in appearance. But as regards its shipping, and what I may term movement of the port, Nanning falls far behind its smaller rival. The presence of river steamers, the constant coming and going of launches, the row of floating hotels and shipping agencies, the forest of junks in the Fu Ho, the foreign buildings which are now springing up along the water-front, all give to Wuchow an air of bustle and prosperity which is wanting at Nanning.\n\nThe afternoon of our arrival I called, accompanied by Captain Noble, on the Taotai and principal local officials. The former sent chairs, with an escort of twenty foreign-drilled soldiers headed by drums and bugles. As we proceeded through the city, and were received at the Yamên with salutes and guards presenting arms, I could not help contrasting our welcome with the reception accorded the first Englishman who visited Nanning—Mr. Moss—who came here in 1870 as the Representative of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. He was not even allowed to land, the officials refused to meet him, and during the few hours he remained here his boat was bombarded with stones by the crowds which lined the bank. The Taotai, Tu Cheng-ko, a native of Anhui and a protégé of Viceroy T'sen, received us most courteously, and seemed willing to afford me all the information he could. He at once referred to the opening of Nanning as a Treaty port, and mentioned that he had instructions from the Governor to arrange for the laying out of a foreign Settlement. To the best of his belief, the Chinese Government intended to open the port at no distant date. No progress, he said, was being made with the French railway from the frontier, and no survey had yet been made of the line between Langchow and Nanning. He gave me the impression that the Chinese authorities are not at all anxious to see the railway completed to Nanning, and that they are anxious to see Nanning a Treaty port for political reasons. From the French Father whom I afterwards visited, I learnt that work on the railway was suspended owing to the lack of funds, and the Commissioner of Customs at Lungchow has since informed me that a Representative of the Colonial Government is now in Paris trying to raise a loan for the purpose: the Chinese Government, however, are placing obstacles in the way, as they wish to build the Chinese portion of the line themselves, employing, of course, French engineers.\n\nThe Taotai—who, as Intendant of the Tso Chiang (Left River Circuit), is in command of the South-West Military District—informed me that the country round Nanning was fairly free from brigandage, but that towards Taiping and Lungchow marauding bands of Marshal Sa's disbanded soldiery were still terrorizing the countryside, and rendering the river between Nanning and Lungchow unsafe for travellers except under strong military convoy. He said the crops promised well and that the export of sugar (which has practically ceased owing to successive bad harvests) is reviving.\n\nThe Taotai returned our call on the following morning and showed me a sketch-plan of the proposed foreign Settlement. On my expressing a wish to inspect the site he first offered to accompany me himself, but later in the day excused himself and sent instead three deputies, who, as permanent residents, were able to give me some interesting information on local matters. I shall refer to the question of Nanning as a Treaty port and the site of the Settlement in the next section. Our visits to the other officials call for no remark.\n\nI subsequently called at the French Mission and saw Father Thomas, whom I had known some years ago in Wuchow. The mission is headed by a Bishop—Mgr. Lavest—who has the Red Button of the Second Rank. He was unfortunately absent at the time. The French School—an imposing white building, with red-tiled roof, just opposite the Taotai's Yamên—is maintained by the Colonial Government, and is in charge of three Marist Friars. They had left for Canton on the morning of my arrival and the school was closed for the summer holidays, so I had not the opportunity of visiting it. The school has at present about forty pupils—ages ranging from 14 to 19—who are being educated with a view to future employment on the railway. On my expressing surprise that the French Government should allow this school to be managed by members of a religious Association, the Father exclaimed somewhat bitterly that the French Government, while they persecuted the Church at home, were only too ready, when it served their purpose, to make use of her sons abroad. The Father informed me that the city was ravaged annually by plague and cholera; he estimated that no less than 9,000 persons had been carried off by these two diseases last year. He said the people were quite friendly to foreigners and that mission work was progressing well. I may here mention that the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Wuchow have a station at Nanning; the missionaries in charge were, however, away at the time of my visit.\n\nFather Thomas told me that the French Consulate at Lungchow was now in charge of an Agent Consulaire, who was also Customs Doctor. There was really nothing for a Consul to do there but issue passports to Chinese proceeding to Tonquin. From the Commissioner previously referred to, I learn that his post is also somewhat of a sinecure. Owing to the heavy duties levied on the French frontier, Lungchow derives almost all its supplies from Nanning, and the bulk of these are carried in native craft. The total value of the trade coming under the cognizance of the Maritime Customs in 1902 was only seventy-seven thousand odd taels, and of this amount 65,000 taels worth was forwarded into the interior under transit-pass. Were: Nanning made a Treaty port, the raison d'être for the foreign Customs at Lungchow would, I think, cease to exist, the French Consulate would probably be transferred to the former place.\n\nThe environs of Nanning are devoted to market gardening, the surrounding districts produce all the best known products of Kuangsi: rice, sugar, hides, oils, aniseed, wood, tea, and ground nut paper, camphor, and all kinds of medicines. The bulk of this produce is brought down under transit pass and shipped by steamer to Hong Kong. Through Nanning, too, pass the products of Eastern Kueichow and Yunnan, en route to the coast, opium, medicines, oils, and hides. Nanning, as I have indicated above, derives its supply of foreign goods almost entirely from Hong Kong and Canton delta via the West River; the principal firms have agents in Wuchow, who purchase and forward the goods, in the case of imports from Hong Kong, under transit pass. The foreign imports into Nanning are practically identical with those appearing in the Wuchow Customs returns, chief among them being Indian cotton yarn, oil (Sumatra), piece-goods, and foreign sundries, such as flour, lamps, and matches.\n\nAs an instance of what ill-considered protection does for the manufactures of Tonquin, I may mention that Japanese matches are laid down in Nanning at 5 taels the case, while Tonquinese matches, on the rare occasions when they reach Nanning, cost 8 taels a case. The former have come nearly 2,000 miles, the latter about 200. In the course of my walks through the city, I noticed the usual display of foreign goods, chiefly of Japanese and German origin. I saw one or two large shops for the sale of foreign medicines, including brandy, mineral waters, and bovril. Everything that I priced was much more expensive than in Wuchow, but it is possible the shop-keepers quoted special rates for our benefit. My Chinese writer and official messenger were both, for various reasons, unable to accompany me on this trip, so that I found some difficulty in making myself understood by the shop people, who are for the most part Cantonese. The natives of Nanning speak a dialect near akin to Mandarin. The business of the city is in the hands of men from the delta, in particular the Sunui district, and from Fukien.\n\nI gathered that the trade of Nanning is reviving after a long period of depression, but is still hampered by the insecurity of the waterways leading to the Yunnan frontier, and lately by the sudden imposition of a new scale of native customs dues, called \"Tungshui.\" I have already referred to this subject in my Intelligence Reports. The effect of the new duties is clearly seen in the large number of transit passes which are now being applied for to purchase produce in the Nanning and Posé districts. The merchants of Nanning engaged in foreign trade are unanimous in desiring the opening of the port, which they take for granted would mean the presence of a British Consul. I could not learn what particular advantage they expected to derive from the latter's advent, but there exists undoubtedly a strong feeling amongst native merchants on the West River that wherever a British Consul is stationed there will be freedom of trade and protection from the exactions of the local authorities. Whether this good opinion be merited or not, I did not feel called upon to disabuse them of their idea.\n\nNo organized mining is carried on in the Nanning district, but coal for local consumption is imported from Posé. Attempts have been made to use this coal for steaming purposes, but it has been found to be quite unsuitable, being, like all native... \n\nPage 307 \nPage 9", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 397825, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 315, "title": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "## Section I\n\nThe coal mined in the region is of poor quality, merely surface scrapings full of stones and mud. I believe the Posé mines were visited some years ago by an agent of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co., and that the firm have specimens of the coal in their possession. Posé, I should mention, is an important trade mart close to the Yünnan frontier, some 200 miles above Nanning, on a river which is navigable for light-draught steamers during the summer months. Through Posé come large quantities of Yunnan copper, which are manufactured at Nanning into gongs, candle-sticks, and all kinds of kitchen utensils. From Posé, too, come the tigers and leopards, numbers of whose skins we saw hanging in the furriers' shops in Nanning; a good tiger's skin, head and claws complete, may be bought for 50 dollars; leopard skins range from 10 dollars to 20 dollars. Posé is the farthest point reached by transit-pass from Wuchow.\n\nBy the evening of the second day of our stay in Nanning the river had fallen 2 feet, so it was arranged that we should leave the following day. As it happened, rain set in during the night, the water began to rise, and we might have stayed a day or two longer. I decided, however, to return; if the rain continued I could not in any case see much of the city, and having been over a fortnight absent from my post, I was anxious to get back as soon as possible.\n\nThe return journey was uneventful. Leaving Nanning at 11 A.M. on the 25th June, we crossed the Great Rapid the same evening, and arrived at Hsunchow the following day at 1 P.M. On Monday, the 27th June, the \"Moorhen\" reached Wuchow after an absence of nineteen days.\n\nFor the convenience of Consular officers who may have occasion to visit Nanning in the future, I append a table of distances (approximate) between the principal towns en route.\n\n| From Wuchow to- | Nautical Miles |\n| --- | --- |\n| Tenghsien | 25 |\n| Mengebiang | 36 |\n| Paima | 48 |\n| Pingnain | 66 |\n| Chiang-kou | 77 |\n| Hunchow | 89 |\n| Kueihsien | 150 |\n| Lei Kung hsu (Great Rapid) | 179 |\n| Hengchow | 204 |\n| Yungshun | 242 |\n| Nanning | 320 |\n\n**ITINERARY of His Majesty's Ship \"Moorhen,\" Wuchow to Nanning and return**\n\n| Date | Arrival | Departure | Steaming Hours |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| June 9 | Wuchow, 8-30 A.M. | Konghau, 8 A.M. | 4 |\n| 10 | Kooghau, 6 P.M. | Kueihsien, 5 P.M. | 9 |\n| 11 | | | 11 |\n| | At Kueibsien | | |\n| 21 | Kueihsien, 5 A.M. | Linglitsun, 7 P.M. | 14 |\n| 22 | Linglitsun, 6 A.M. | Nanning, 10-30 A.M. | 23 |\n| 24 | At Nanning | | |\n| 25 | Nanning, 11 A.M. | Leikunghsa, 7 P.M. | 8 |\n| 27 | Leikangusu, 6 A.M. | Hsunchow, 6-30 A.M. | 20 |\n| 27 | Hsunchow, 1 P.M. | Wuchow, 7 P.M. | 7 |\n\nTotal distance, 640 miles; steaming hours, 58.1.\n\nNote. His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen\" steamed at 12 knots an hour; average strength of current, 4 knots; over rapids, 5 to 8 knots.\n\n## Section II.-Nanning as a Treaty Port\n\nAlthough Nanning was declared an open port by Imperial Decree on the 3rd February, 1889, no office of the Imperial Maritime Customs has yet been opened there and the port may, to all intents and purposes, still be considered an \"inland place.\" My visit to Nanning confirmed the opinion I had previously formed as to the advantages which British trade in South China would be likely to derive from the effective opening of the port and the appointment of a British Consular officer to reside there, namely, that from a commercial point of view, the advantages would be quite inconsiderable. It appears to me that Wuchow, situated at the limit of ocean-going steam navigation on the West River, sufficiently meets Hong Kong's requirements as a distributing centre. Foreign goods are imported by steamer to Wuchow and there transhipped, under transit-pass, into junks (which may be towed by steam-launches) for all the principal towns in the West River basin, as far as Lungchow and Posé, and thence overland into Yunnan and Kueichow. Similarly native produce is brought down from these places under outward transit-pass and transhipped into the Hong Kong steamers at Wuchow. The trade, which is steadily increasing, has been carried on for some years past without serious interference on the part of the native Customs authorities. Steam-launches can, under the new Regulations, carry passengers and cargo between Wuchow and Nanning, calling at all recognized way ports; they may, with the permission of the Chinese Government, ply between inland places exclusively, say, between Nanning and Posé. British merchants may lease go-downs for the storage of their goods at Nanning and other riverine towns, and may, I take it, under this clause, appoint native hongs their agents for the care and sale of their merchandise.\n\nThe Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce have pressed for the establishment of a foreign custom-house at Nanning because they say that foreign goods could then be laid down there on payment of one import duty only; but this applies only to goods consumed in Nanning itself—an inconsiderable quantity; transit-passes would still have to be taken out, or native Customs dues paid on, goods destined for the surrounding districts. The same remark applies in the case of native produce; the bulk of Nanning's exports come from the country districts and in order to be shipped at the port would have to pay the same transit dues and the same native dues, as they do at Wuchow.\n\nOn the other hand, for political reasons, I venture to think that the effective opening of Nanning would be to the advantage of British interests. There is at the present moment a temporary lull in French railway enterprise in this part of the world, but at any time an energetic Governor-General in Tonquin may decide 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 Governments 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...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 398028, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 518, "title": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "## Number of Paragraph\n11 | 11\n12 | 12\n13 | \n14 | \n15 | \n16 | \n17 | \n18 | Z\n\nNumbers of Paragraphs in the Provisional Regulations of August 1904, that agree more or less with the new numbering herein.\n\n## Number of Paragraph\n5 | \ndeposited mark is not the true name of the proprietor, the Registrar may amend the indorsement so as to show the name of the true proprietor.\n\nĎ \n18 | 9\n18a | 18\n18a | 18\n9 | \nThe Registrar may at any time remove from such collection any marks the use of which has, in fact, been abandoned.\n\nBefore removing any mark from such collection or the register, the Registrar shall give due notice to the owner proprietor unless he cannot be found.

Therefore, it follows that any mortgage made by Heng Hua Chun (even if he were a partner with Chou Tung Sheng) would be good, as the firm of Yao Hsiang could be bound by a mortgage made by one partner, and it is admitted by the Viceroy that Heng Hua Chun was Chou Tung Sheng's agent, and he could therefore make a valid mortgage either as sole owner or as joint owner with Chou Tung Sheng.\n\nFurther, if Chou Tung Sheng was a partner, the man in charge of the coal and who gave up possession to Messrs.

This I did especially with a view to satisfying the Viceroy of the genuineness of the Mortgage transaction so far as the Bank was concerned. The Viceroy has never contested the genuineness of this Mortgage; but charges Hung Ha Chun of collusion with Chou Tung Sang in order to protect the latter's property from confiscation by the Chinese Government. Against this latter I would remark, as I have already pointed out, that the Mortgage transaction took place some nine months before the Viceroy took any steps against Chou Tung Sang.\n\nThe Viceroy further alleges that Hung Ha Chun was merely an agent or nominee of Chou Tung Sang, and that the coal in question actually belonged to Chou Tung Sang - a claim which he based on the evidence of Chou Tung Sang's book-keeper, who is a prisoner in the Magistrate's Yamen.\n\nIn answer to Hung's statement of accounts, the Viceroy denies their accuracy; and declares that so far from the partnership having been terminated on 31st December, 1904, as Hung alleges, certain books impounded when the coal was seized show that in July, 1905, Hung Wa Chun, instead of being the owner of the coal, was indebted to Chou Tung Sang in the sum of some $70,000 odd.\n\nIn respect to this question of partnership between Chou and Hung, I had, in my early representations to the Viceroy, claimed that whether the coal belonged to Chou or Hung, the bank's position as Mortgagee was in regular order, and that the bank was entitled to hold the coal pending liquidation of its advances.

I learn on good authority that the Japanese are actually working on a scheme of steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze on similar lines to the one now under consideration by the French,\n\nMr. Meischke-Smith's system is briefly as follows:—\n\nPowerful light draft tugs, steaming 14 knots, will tow steel barges of about 150 tons capacity, or native junks, between Ichang and Chungking. At each rapid the tug-boat and her lighter will be taken in tow by a rapid-boat of the Lombard-Gérin type as used on the River Rhône. One of these boats, named \"toueurs,\" will be stationed at all the principal rapids. Their method of traction is similar to that of the spider, and consists in warping themselves up the rapid by means of a cable attached to a point at the head of the rapid, and letting themselves down by unwinding the cable. Going up vessels are towed astern; going down they are lashed alongside. The tow ropes, being attached to the bow of the \"toucur,\" give her liberty to steer, and thus enable her to keep in mid-stream and avoid the dangers attending a tow line worked from the bank. It is hoped that this system will not necessitate the erection of any hauling appliances on shore, and consequently interfere as little as possible with the junk traffic.\n\nThe French naval authorities have placed Captain Plant, their Upper Yang-tsze pilot, at the disposal of the Company. Captain Plant, who has for the past five years successfully navigated the rapids on trading-steamer, gun-boat, and junk, and who is therefore well qualified to judge of the possibilities of steam navigation on these waters, has, in a written Report, expressed his opinion that the proposed system is quite feasible. He will probably proceed to Europe as soon as he has taken the French gun-boat \"Olry,\" now in port, up to Chungking for the purpose of studying the Lombard-Gérin \"touage du Rhône,\" which has now been for over ten years in successful operation on that river. On his return he will be placed in charge of the Company's steamers. These vessels will fly the French flag, but Mr. Smith informs me that at least 75 per cent of the Company's personnel, captains, agents, &c., will be British. The \"toueurs\" will be built in France, the steam-tugs and barges in England and Shanghae. It is estimated that when the system is in proper working order a steamer and one or two tows will make the journey from Ichang to Chungking in ten days, travelling down in five days, say, twelve round trips per annum, as compared with the two round trips made at present by the ordinary cargo junk.\n\nThe scheme, if it proves a success, will mean a complete revolution in the Upper Yang-tsze trade. To the objection—which will probably be urged by the Chinese authorities that artificial haulage over the rapids will throw some thousands of trackers out of employment, the Company reply that, speaking generally, increased facilities for trade will provide increased employment for the population of the Upper Yang-tsze, and that, in particular, the development of the coal-mining industry in Szechuan, at present paralyzed by inadequate means of transport, will provide more than sufficient work for the unskilled labour of the province.\n\nThe towing system, if extended to the Middle Yang-tsze, as is in contemplation, will undoubtedly prove a serious competitor to the British and other Steam-ship Companies at present engaged in the trade. But, quite apart from the fact that the energies of the new Company, even should the sanguine projects of its agent be realized, will be fully occupied for some time to come in developing their business on the Upper River, I do not think that the British shipping Companies are likely to suffer any loss. In increased cargo they should find compensation for reduced rates of freight, and there seems no reason why the British and French shipping interests on the Upper Yang-tsze should not successfully combine against their powerful rivals the Japanese. The Asiatic Petroleum Company, in which British capital is largely interested, have very strong reasons for wishing the scheme well and according it their financial support, as I understand they are doing. Since their unsuccessful attempt a few years ago to compete with the Standard Oil Company in Szechuan, American oil has enjoyed an undisturbed monopoly in that important market. With steam towage in working order, the former Company will be able to send up their oil in bulk, pack it in new tins and cases at Chungking, and probably drive the American product out of the market. I understand that arrangements are now being made to send up regular shipments by junk in order to make the brand known.\n\nMr. Smith is now on his way to Canton, whence he will proceed up the West River to inspect the Company's oil tank installations at Samshui and Wuchow. If the Regulations to be issued by the Imperial Maritime Customs for the new service prove to be satisfactory, he will notify the Chinese Government, through the French\n\n3\n\nMinister, of the Syndicate's intentions, and then, if all goes well, he hopes to have the first steamer running on the river before the summer of next year.\n\nI am forwarding this despatch under flying seal to His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow, and am sending a copy to His Majesty's Consuls at Chungking and Chengtu.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) HARRY H. FOX.\n\nThe real obstacle to steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze has been the impossibility of insuring paying cargoes. Piece-goods and yarn are too bulky to bear high freight, and the Szechuan dealers have not cared about their being quickly forwarded. From the west opium and silk, musk, and other valuables come down very speedily in small parcels by \"wupan,\" a system that distributes the risk of loss. Other difficulties have been the questions of coal and repairs en route. The present scheme does not seem sure to get over the above objections.\n\nOn the Ichang run towing would, I presume, have been tried had it been likely to prove advantageous, and there is no reason why the French Company should monopolize it now or should refuse to take any cargo but that brought up in French bottoms on either section of the river.\n\nE. H. FRASER.\n\nHankow, April 12, 1906\n\n(Signed)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Fox to Mr. Carnegie.\n\n(No. 11.) Sir,\n\nIchang, May 18, 1906. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of Sir Ernest Satow's despatch No. 3 of the 23rd ultimo on the subject of steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze. I should have replied before this, but have been waiting to see the newly appointed Ichang Taotai, Sun Ting-lin, formerly Opium Taotai at this port, and learn from him the exact state of affairs with regard to the proposed upkeep of tracking paths and erection of hauling appliances at the rapids. Sun Taotai, who took over charge at Kingchow on the 26th ultimo, was expected to visit Ichang on or about the 1st May. He has, however, been obliged to proceed to Wuchang on business connected with the proposed transfer of the opium li-kin collectorate from Ichang to Chungking, and has not yet returned to his post.\n\nMy authorities for the statement that the Japanese Government had objected to the erection of hauling appliances on the rapids by the Chinese authorities were the Commissioner of Customs here and the Deputy Chang Te-ping. According to information confidentially obtained by Mr. Wolf, and subsequently corroborated by the Deputy, the proposed levy of junk fees for the above purpose had been referred by the Japanese Consul at Shasi to his Legation, and by them to the Foreign Office in Tokio. The latter had refused their consent to the scheme, and, although the ground of their objection had not transpired, it seemed more than likely that the Japanese Government did not wish to commit themselves to a proposal which might interfere with Japanese enterprise in the same direction. My statement that the Japanese were actually working on some scheme of the kind was made on the authority of the Commissioner of Customs, who based his opinion on the fact that a party of Japanese engineers had recently been making surveys of the rapids between Ichang and Wanhsien.\n\nAs far as I can learn no progress at all has been made with the Chinese scheme for providing aids to navigation on the upper river. The Road Improvement Office has not yet been opened, and no attempt has so far been made to levy junk fees. The Viceroy, as you will gather from a despatch, copy and translation of which I have the honour to inclose, is opposed to the collection of these fees being placed in the hands of the Maritime Customs on the ground that, being of the nature of voluntary contributions for a charitable purpose, they should not be looked upon as duties. The distinction would appear to be, in the present case, a purely nominal one, and I trust I shall be correctly interpreting the instructions conveyed in Sir Ernest Satow's despatch No. 2 of the 20th December last if I inform the Taotai\n\nPage 587", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407556, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 20, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "AFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n33356]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n40462 1\n\n[October 31 NOV 06\n\nSECTION 2-\n\nSir,\n\nPeking Syndicate to Foreign Office.-(Received October 3.).\n\n110, Cannon Street, London, October 1, 1906.\n\nI AM instructed by my Directors to again bring to the notice of the Secretary of State the persistent obstruction which is being offered by the Chinese Government to the working of coal in Shansi.\n\nOn the 31st May I had the honour to address you on this subject, and it was then suggested that, should the Chinese authorities persist in their refusal to issue a permit to open coal mines in terms of Article 1 of the Shansi Concession, a formal claim for damages should be presented through His Majesty's Legation at Peking. From your reply of the 13th June it was understood that Sir Edward Grey was unable to adopt this suggestion, but Mr. Brown, the Agent-General of the Syndicate, was authorized, at his discretion, to lodge a claim for 200l. a-day as compensation for loss and damage to the Syndicate for every day's delay in the issue of the permit, should he deem the time opportune for doing so. Acting in concert with the British Legation, whose support and assistance my Directors gladly and gratefully acknowledge, Mr. Brown has hitherto refrained from presenting this claim, and up till recently we have been given to understand that negotiations were proceeding favourably, and that a speedy and satisfactory settlement might be anticipated. My Directors, however, very much regret to have to state that they are in receipt of a telegram from Mr. Brown, in which he gives it as his opinion that the Wai-wu Pu are merely trifling, and that the strongest support of the Foreign Office is urgently required to bring about a settlement. I enclose copy of this telegram, dated the 26th ultimo, the first part of which, as you will see, repeats a telegram received by Mr. Brown from Sir John Jordan. My Directors learn with much satisfaction from this that Sir John Jordan has now taken the matter into his own hands, and that should his representations be ineffectual he will, after the beginning of October, propose to take some further action.\n\nMy Directors are well content to leave the particular mode of enforcing the Syndicate's claims to Sir John Jordan's discretion, and the object in now addressing you is, first, to put the Foreign Office in possession of what has transpired since I last addressed you; and, secondly, to express the earnest hope of my Directors that the Secretary of State will be pleased to take such steps as may be necessary to vindicate the rights acquired by the Syndicate under the Concessions, and bring this long-pending question to a satisfactory conclusion.\n\n(Telegraphic.)\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) THOS.

Satow.\n\nTien-tsin, February 5, 1906.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that, in obedience to your Excellency's suggestion conveyed in Mr. Robertson's letter of the 16th ultimo, I waited upon his Excellency Tong Shao-yi on the morning of the 23rd ultimo, and arranged an interview with his Excellency at the Wai-wu Pu for 2:30 P.M. on the 30th ultimo. His Excellency Na Tung was mentioned as likely to be present and some representative gentry from Shansi.\n\nOn the 30th ultimo at the time appointed I proceeded to the Wai-wu Pu, and was at once conducted to a room where I found the Shansi Gentry Messrs. Liu and Li with their own interpreter waiting, and had a brief chat with them. In a few minutes their Excellencies Tong Shao-yi, Chou, Lei, and Chu came in, and we almost at once proceeded to business. His Excellency Na Tung was not present.\n\nTo facilitate matters I submitted the statement in English and Chinese which your Excellency had previously perused, and of which I now inclose copies. This was read attentively by all. When the reading was concluded, his Excellency Tong Shao-yi asked the Shansi gentlemen what they had to say. They said they wished to know about the term of sixty years—when it commenced. I said from the time the permit was issued. They asked why the Syndicate had been so long in starting operations. I said the reasons were obvious. First, we were driven out by the Boxer troubles and returned more slowly than we had come to begin with. Then we waited for the railway to be constructed, as it would be no use digging coal with no means of carrying it away. This railway was now nearing completion, and consequently we were in a position to apply for a permit. They asked if I thought we were entitled to delay thirty or forty years. I said \"No\"; that or even twenty years would be unreasonable, but I considered the time that had elapsed not to be unreasonable in the exceptional circumstances. The point dropped.\n\nThe Shansi gentlemen then raised the question of the Syndicate's position in the matter. Was it not an Italian Company originally? I said that as far as I knew the Peking Syndicate had always been a British Association. Mr. Luzatti, as I understood, came to China first on his own account. He obtained concessions, went to Europe, and then came again to China as Agent-General of the Peking Syndicate to take up these concessions, and in that capacity had signed the Agreements. His Excellency Tong asked if I was prepared to make the declaration that the Peking Syndicate had always been British and never Italian. I said, \"Yes; as far as I knew the Peking Syndicate had always been British.\"\n\nNext, his Excellency Tong took the Agreement and suggested that we should discuss it Article by Article. We came at once to the term \"chuan pan\" (sole right). It was admitted that the English text conveyed the sole right, but their Excellencies unanimously maintained that the Chinese expression \"chuan pan\" was not the equivalent. I pointed out that the Tsung-li Yamên had stamped the English version which gave the sole right. We argued the point at great length but for the most part in the same terms. We each held to our respective views. His Excellency Tong Shao-yi asked the Shansi Gentry if they had any suggestion to relieve the deadlock. They had none. His Excellency then said they would like to consult again among themselves, and would meet each other in two days. Meantime I could return to Tien-tsin. I said I would wait three days in the hope of hearing something.\n\nOn the 2nd instant, not having heard anything further I came down here, but I propose to revisit Peking about the 5th to endeavour to advance the matter another stage.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nStatement by Mr. G. Brown.\n\nHIS Excellency the British Minister, having protested on behalf of the Peking Syndicate against the refusal of his Excellency the Shansi Governor to grant the application of the Syndicate for a permit to open coal-mines in the Pingting Chou district as provided by Article of the Agreement between the Shansi Bureau of Trade and the Peking Syndicate, and natives having opened new mines in this region contrary to the sole right vested in the Syndicate by the same Article 1 of the same Agreement, the Agent-General has, on the invitation of his Excellency Tong Shao-yi and with the approval of his Excellency the British Minister, come to discuss the matter at the Board of Foreign Affairs.\n\nIt will be well to examine the question of sole right first. Whether the Chinese or English text be taken the meaning is clear.\n\n\"Chuan pan\" means that the holder of the concession has the privilege of working it, and no one else. The Article sets out that the Shansi Bureau of Trade asked the Governor of Shansi to grant them the sole right, &c.; that the Governor sanctioned the request, and that whatever was granted by the Governor was transferred to the Peking Syndicate for the space of sixty years. There is no ambiguity whatever, and this transfer made by the Shansi Bureau of Trade was approved by the Tsung-li Yamên, stamped with their seal, and authorized by Imperial Edict dated the 17th May, 1898. Could legalization be more definite, more solid, or fixed by a higher mandate than this!\n\nSo rare is it among respectable Chinese merchants for one of them to repudiate a bargain or to fail in fulfilling a contract, that their commercial integrity is famous throughout the civilized world. Is the political reputation of the country to take a lower level? Is it to be universally made known that a concession, formally granted and ratified by the Government is liable to be withdrawn or cancelled or modified at any time if interested persons merely stand up and say that it is inconvenient or disadvantageous? Such an innovation would cut away the roots of all security, and deprive official transactions of that basis of confidence which should ever be their main strength. The Agent-General does not believe that the Chinese Government would adopt a course of this sort with an Agreement solemnly concluded, even if it proved to be injurious, and in this case the Agent-General will presently show that the Agreement entered into with the Syndicate is likely to be highly beneficial to the inhabitants of Shansi, to the people of China generally, and to the Chinese Government.\n\nLet us come next to the refusal by the Shansi Governor of the permit applied for. His Excellency may say that it has not been refused. Delay beyond reasonable limit and failure to issue at all are tantamount to absolute refusal. Not to grant is to refuse. Yet Article 1 of the Agreement lays down \"maps with explanations shall be submitted to the Governor of Shansi that he may see the proposed works are not injurious to the place, and he shall report thereon to the Tsung-li Yamên for record, and at the same time issue a permit for the mines to be opened without the least delay.\" Has the Governor reported to the Wai-wu Pu (i.e., the Tsung-li Yamên) for record and at the same time issued a permit without the least delay? His Excellency's attitude would seem not to be in accord with the Agreement. Moreover, his Excellency impugns the validity of the words \"chuan pan.\" In his anxiety to make the Agreement valueless, his Excellency takes away from these characters their true meaning of \"sole control\" and endeavours to substitute other meanings which it is to be assumed his Excellency's scholarship could, on consideration, not be able to indorse.\n\nIf \"chuan pan\" (sole right) did not mean \"chuan ch'üan\" (sole control) then the Agreement would be worthless, and all the trouble of the Bureau of Commerce in drawing it up, of the Tsung-li Yamên in signifying their approval, and of His August Majesty the Emperor in authorizing it by Imperial Decree, would have been taken over nothing, a position which would be absurd, and which is therefore untenable.\n\nThe words \"chuan pan\" (sole right) must, therefore, be taken to mean \"chuan ch'üan\" (sole control), and to exclude every one, whether foreign or Chinese, who did not at the time of signing the Agreement own mines already opened in the specified districts. Otherwise shafts might be sunk by any one at every available spot, and \"chuan pan\" (sole right) would have no significance whatever.\n\nTherefore the Agent-General claims that the Syndicate, by the Agreement, received the sole right to open mines in the district mentioned, and that no one else has the right to do so. The causes which prevented the Syndicate from commencing...\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407567, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "# \noperations until the present time are well known to the Chinese Government, and need not be referred to,\n\nThe Agent-General has stated above that he will show that the Agreement carries with it great benefits to the inhabitants of Shansi.\n\nArticle 4 says:\n\n\"At all the mines Chinese should be employed as much as possible. All salaries to be paid by the Syndicate.\" This means work for people and an influx of the Syndicate's money to be spent in the locality, in which all the people would share.\n\nArticle 11 says:\n\n\"On first opening the mines foreigners must of course be employed as mining engineers and foremen, but later on, any Chinese who may be proficient in mining. For subordinate positions of little responsibility Chinese should be entirely employed, and Shansi natives as much as possible, to encourage improvement.\"\n\nArticle 12: \"The miners employed should be chiefly Shansi men, and should be paid fair wages.\"\n\nArticle 13 says: \"The Syndicate shall establish a school of engineering and mining in some locality convenient to the mines, and there shall be selected twenty or thirty promising youths by the local officials and gentry to study in this school under foreign instructors, and thus prepare for future employment on railways and in the mines. The expenses for this school to be met by the Syndicate.\" Thus Shansi students will be able to learn this important business on the spot without going abroad far from their homes and relations. They will be still able to minister to their parents, will be under the benign influence of family life, and will not acquire ideas antagonistic to Chinese methods of thought and comity. For all this the Syndicate pays.\n\nThe Agent-General trusts that the people and gentry of Shansi will see that the foregoing are no mean benefits.\n\nThe Agent-General stated that the Agreement carries with it great benefits to the people of China.\n\nIn China fuel for household purposes or factories is scarce, dear, and of uncertain quality. The Syndicate will, under the Agreement, bring into the market within a short time an abundance of cheap and excellent coal so that all may be able to procure it. Those in North China especially, who suffer from the bitter winter, will appreciate the amelioration of their condition.\n\nThe abundance of coal will make it less necessary to burn wood. Immature trees now cut down for fuel will be allowed to grow. China will produce her own timber. Present much timber is imported from America and other places for building, &c., and is paid for by money sent from China. This money will remain in the country. Coal also is imported from abroad, and money goes away from China for it. If this Agreement be carried out China will soon have enough coal for her own needs, and will in years to come be able to export coal to other countries, and so draw money to China.\n\nExpert mining engineers estimate that there is enough coal in Shansi to supply the whole world for 2,000 years. The term of mining, fixed for the Peking Syndicate is sixty years when all the mines, in good working order, are to be handed over to the Chinese Government without payment. In those sixty years the amount of coal extracted by the Syndicate will, as compared with the whole, be but an atom, while the Chinese people will have learnt to mine for themselves, and will find themselves mean-endowed with a property of great value created with no effort or expense on their own part.\n\nThe Agent-General stated that the Agreement would carry with it great benefit for the Chinese Government.\n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 6 | \"Wherever mines are worked there shall be paid yearly to the Chinese Government as producer's tax (\"lo-ti shui\") 5 per cent. on the cost of extracting the output of the mines, and from the remaining net profit 25 per cent. shall be paid to the Chinese Government. The Chinese Government will not in any way be responsible for losses incurred in the business.\" |\n| 8 | \"All machinery, &c., shall pay one full duty and a-half. The products, when exported, shall pay export duty.\" |\n| 9 | \"The Syndicate is to control the mines for sixty years, on expiration of which term all the mines shall, with all plant, materials, buildings, railways, bridges, and all property acquired by the capital of the mines, be handed over gratis to the Chinese Government,\" |\n\nNo comment on this 9th Article is necessary. It is not a one-sided Agreement. The Chinese Government, in fostering and protecting the mining enterprise of the Syndicate, will be laying up a magnificent heritage for itself, to be enjoyed in the fulness of time. When that time arrives, the British engineering staff will undoubtedly have been replaced by Chinese engineers educated to their work in the mines themselves, and the Chinese Government will take over a perfectly equipped establishment.\n\nThe Agent-General, however, does not wish to pretend that the Peking Syndicate is a philanthropical institution. It is a commercial Association formed on business lines. It expects to make some profit for its shareholders; this any one will understand and not find fault with. If, together with a fair return on their invested capital, benefit is conferred on the neighbourhood in which they work and on the country of China generally, the shareholders will be none the less gratified.\n\nThe Agent-General is grateful for the opportunity accorded to him by their Excellencies to explain matters.\n\nIn conclusion, he asks from the Chinese Government the recognition of the Peking Syndicate's \"sole right\" to open coal mines under this Agreement to the exclusion of all other new mines; he also asks that this sole right may be made clear to the provincial authorities, and that permits may be issued when applied for; and he asks for full and whole-hearted protection for the mines and those working in them, and for the prospecting engineers.\n\nJanuary 30, 1906.\n\n**(Signed)**\n\nGEORGE BROWN, Agent-General, Peking Syndicate.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nSir E. Satow to Mr. G. Brown.\n\nDear Mr. Brown,\n\nPeking, March 7, 1906. Yesterday I had a call from En Shou, the new Governor of Shansi, who was making the usual round of visits on the Diplomatic Body. He seems a reasonable sort person, and expressed his earnest desire to get on well with your Syndicate. Agreements he said must be observed, that there would no doubt be details to arrange which were not dealt with specifically in the Agreements, and for those he wished to have personal conferences with the Syndicate's representatives, if I would give them letters to him. I said this was an excellent idea, and I mentioned you and Alick Shaw as the men who would have to do business with him.\n\nHe leaves for his post on the 10th March, and I think it would be worth your while to pay him a visit at Tai Yuan Fu as early as you conveniently can. I would give you and Alick Shaw letters of introduction to him, and also write to him to say when you were likely to be at Tai Yuan Fu. If this idea falls in with your views, please send me your name and Shaw's in Chinese. It would be useful in fact to have the Chinese names of all your English employés at the Honan mines, on the railway, and in Shansi.\n\nTo my mind the present opportunity seems a good one for establishing good relations with the Shansi Government, and that it would be well to seize it without delay.\n\nYours sincerely,\n**(Signed)** ERNEST SATOW.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nPeking Syndicate to Sir E.

The newly-appointed Governor of Shansi, his Excellency En Shou, was good enough to receive me yesterday morning at his residence in Peking as kindly arranged by your Excellency. The interview, at which I was treated with marked informal courtesy, lasted for over an hour, but, in spite of much talk, little was accomplished beyond, as his Excellency was pleased to remark, the establishing of cordial personal relations. The Governor's opinion was that the Syndicate should begin operations on a small scale in Pingtingchou and gradually expand after establishing a friendly feeling among the people of the province. We agreed that it was most desirable that the good-will of the inhabitants should be secured.

His Excellency also deprecated any immediate attempt to work the other four fields in Shansi, namely Yuhsien, Luanfu, Tsechou, and Pingyang.\n\nI impressed upon his Excellency the urgent importance of closing all the new mines recently opened within the area covered by the Syndicate's Application for Permit in Pingtingchou, but I could not obtain a definite promise that this should be done, although I pointed out that the Syndicate was being all the time thereby unfairly placed more and more at a disadvantage while the case was still under discussion. On this point I shall probably have some representations to make to your Excellency before long.\n\nHis Excellency En Shou concurred with me in thinking that it would be advisable for me to come to an understanding with the Wai-wu Pu on main principles and then visit Taiyuan Fu to settle details when his Excellency would be more conversant with the local circumstances and the situation generally.\n\nThanking your Excellency for the full assistance given me in this matter, I have, &c.,\n\n**GEORGE BROWN.**\n\nSir,\n\n(Signed)\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nPeking Syndicate to Mr. Carnegie.\n\nTien-tsin, August 2, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you that the discussion of the rights of the Peking Syndicate in Shansi, which arose from the refusal of the Shansi Governor in October last to grant the permit to open a coal mine, has at length reached another phase. After much procrastination, all previous attempts to obtain a further meeting with the Wai-wu Pu having been ingeniously turned aside, I succeeded in arranging a conference for the afternoon of Friday, the 27th ultimo. Their Excellencies Tong Shao Yi and Chu Pa Fei with Mr. Un (a junior) received me and they were afterwards joined by his Excellency Lien Fang.\n\nI at once opened the business by remarking that the losses incurred by the Syndicate through its not being allowed to carry on its work in Shansi were very heavy and the matter was becoming more serious every day; that I had been very patient and had given every opportunity for the consideration of the question, but that my Board of Directors were now most urgently pressing for a settlement and I trusted to their Excellencies to bring this about at once and to instruct the Governor of Shansi to issue the permit to which we were entitled. The text of the Agreement was referred to and I pointed out that by the terms of the second paragraph of Article 1 the Governor was to report to the Tsung-li Yamên and \"at the same time issue a permit for the mines to be opened without the least delay.\" His Excellency Tong pointed out that the Governor was to see that the proposed works were not injurious to the place and said that if, as Mr. Jamieson proposed, all the people were to be driven away from the permit area this would be injurious. I denied that Mr. Jamieson had suggested such a thing. His Excellency said that the natives could not be prohibited from mining with native methods. I said that the Syndicate had no desire to interfere with natives mining in a small way for local consumption, but that it would object to their competing with the Syndicate. At present the Syndicate which held the Agreement was not allowed to mine, whereas others, who had no Agreement, were mining and putting coal on the train of the approaching Cheng Tai Railway. I had also heard reports of foreign capital and machinery being obtained from Tien-tsin firms. His Excellency Tong gave me his word that this was not so, and attested that no other foreign interest than that of the Syndicate would be admitted. He then went on to say that the permit applied for covered too great an area. The Tongshan Colliery, the second largest in the world, he asserted, covered only 2 or 3 li, while the Syndicate wanted 40 li. Only a small piece of ground could be wanted on the surface for the mine which could extend underground for any distance. I explained that we must protect our workings from being invaded by shafts sunk in proximity to ours. As to the size of our permit area,\n\nI would submit on Tuesday, the 31st (his Excellency having assured me that I should be welcome at the Wai-wu Pu on any Tuesday or Friday afternoon), maps showing the extent of our application and also the new mines sunk within our claim to which we objected and the encouragement of which I said was grossly unfair; they ought to be stopped at once.\n\n7 \n\nFurther desultory argument ensued and we touched on the subject of sole right which arose through his Excellency remarking that we had not the monopoly. I asked whether the Chinese Government, assuming for the moment its willingness, had the right to make an agreement similar to that held by the Syndicate with any other foreign Company for the five specified districts of Shansi. He said emphatically \"No.\" That admission I contended showed that the Syndicate had the monopoly and therefore the sole right. I left with his Excellency a short statement of the object of my visit of which I have the honour to furnish a copy. On Tuesday the 31st I took two maps to the Wai-wu Pu, one showing the permit area applied for last October, as well as all adjacent native mines old and new with their histories, and the other showing the permit area and the new mines opened in and around its borders up to April last. Their Excellencies Tong Shao Yi and Chu Pa Fei with Mr. Un received me, and evidently took great interest in the maps. His Excellency Tong said that the Wai-wu Pu would like to have some guarantee that the Syndicate would not, after receiving the permit, hang it up and do nothing. They wanted to know that a proper sum would be spent in earnest mining. I said that the Syndicate's work in Honan showed that it was prepared to devote its energies and funds to the business thoroughly. There, unprecedented difficulties had been met with and had been resolutely faced one after another with expenditure of money and hard work. The last overwhelming inrush of water just as coal had been won was a terrible disappointment, but the Syndicate had not been deterred, and had at heavy cost ordered more pumping machinery to cope with it. His Excellency said that he would examine the maps carefully, and I proposed that I should call again on Tuesday the 7th. His Excellency, however, expressed himself as anxious for a long discussion at our next meeting which he fixed for Thursday the 9th at 3:30 PM., when there would be freedom from interruption, and he agreed that I should ask Mr. Reid, the Syndicate's Engineer-in-chief to attend and furnish expert information and personal knowledge of the locality.\n\nI have the honour to inclose copies of the two maps.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\n**GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General.**\n\n## Inclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nStatement by Mr. G. Brown.\n\nTHE Agent-General of the Peking Syndicate would once more point out the serious losses that are being incurred through the failure of the Chinese authorities to carry out the provisions of the Shansi Concession which was sealed by the Tsung-li Yamên and formally approved by the Throne.\n\nThe advantages that would accrue to the people of Shansi, to the people of China generally, and to the Chinese revenue from the faithful carrying out of the agreement and the utilization of the mineral resources of the Shansi Province, which are at present lying idle and undisturbed of little good to any one, have long ago been fully set forth and explained. The Syndicate would regret to see on the part of the Chinese officials and people an attitude of apathy and indifference to the benefits to be so easily, so inexpensibly, and so speedily obtained. But the Syndicate is a commercial undertaking, and is concerned in the first place with the objects for which it was created. There is no dispute that under the terms of the Concession the Syndicate has most important rights in Shansi. It is debarred from exercising these rights and deriving legitimate profit therefrom by the refusal of his Excellency the late Governor of Shansi to grant a permit. This deprivation means a heavy loss day by day to the Syndicate. The new Governor, his Excellency En Shou, has now had ample time to study the question in the light of local conditions. His Excellency Tong Shao Yi, to whom the matter was referred for consideration, has certainly been able to master the details and see where justice lies. The Agent-General therefore trusts that he may be able to report to his Board in London without delay that the Chinese Government has ordered the issue of the permit and that the rights of the Peking Syndicate are no longer under a ban.\n\n(Submitted to their Excellencies of the Wai-wu Pu the 27th July, 1906.)\n\n`[2183f-4]` \n\nD \n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407569, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "# Inclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\n## Peking Syndicate to Mr. Carnegie.\n\nDear Sir,\n\nTien-tsin, August 13, 1906. ANOTHER stage in the discussion of the mining rights of the Peking Syndicate in Shansi was reached on the 9th instant, when their Excellencies Tong Shao Yi and Chu Pa Fei with Mr. Uu received me at the Wai-wu Pu by special appointment, as I have already had the honour of verbally reporting to you.\n\nMr. Reid, Engineer-in-chief to the Syndicate, who accompanied me to give expert information as to the area and the nature of the ground covered by the proposed permit, produced maps showing the general configuration and the position as regards the railway and the Tao River. It was pointed out that the peculiarly irregular run of the boundary-lines was caused by a desire to avoid old mines and native villages. Most of the ground was hilly and barren, there was no houses on it, and no mines except what had been opened within the last nine months by the Tung Chi Company, who, so far from stopping operations were still sinking new shafts in the very place marked out by the Syndicate.\n\nTheir Excellencies selected a large scale map of the proposed permit area, and asked for duplicate copies which we promised to send as soon as possible. (In fact they were delivered at the Wai-wu Pu this morning.) One of these was for the present Governor of Shansi, who, it was remarked had not yet considered the granting of the permit. I did not conceal my surprise at this statement, and I pointed out that, when the permit was applied for in October 1905, a map was delivered to the Governor, and the new Governor had therefore had ample time to satisfy himself that the permit area was reasonable.\n\nMr. Tong Shao Yi, assuming a dictatorial manner, said that before issuing a permit the Chinese Government wanted an assurance that the Syndicate meant to do genuine mining work and not merely to keep the permit in their pocket. I referred his Excellency to Honan, where the Syndicate had spent a very large sum approximating to 200,000l. in overcoming enormous difficulties, and Mr. Reid exhibited estimates showing that an initial expenditure of 100,000l. was contemplated in Shansi. This seemed to be accepted as satisfactory evidence of earnestness.\n\nI pressed the question of new native mines and said that while the Syndicate would raise no objection to mines producing coal in a small way for local consumption, it would not tolerate competition, and I referred to reports of Tien-tsin foreign firms being asked to supply foreign machinery to the native mines. Mr. Tong strenuously denied the truth of these reports.\n\nTheir Excellencies were informed that, the moment the permit was granted, operations would commence and coal would be produced from the 7-foot seam, also that the Syndicate would in a month or two be able to put out 100 tons of coal a day. Pending arrival of the special plant from England, some plant could be transferred from Honan for immediate work.\n\nThe permit maps were again examined in detail, and Mr. Tong asked what guarantee there would be that the Syndicate in its mining would not go beyond the limits indicated, as encroachments underground would not be discoverable. I assured their Excellencies that the workings would always be open to inspection, that great care would be taken to avoid encroachments and that with an institution of the Syndicate's standing no improper action need be feared.\n\nAs to the extent of the permit, Mr. Reid pointed out that the Honan \"yellow\" permit had an area of 60 square li with a \"red\" permit area in reserve of over 200 square li whereas the present Shansi permit applied for was only 39.27 square li, and, on a large output, would be exhausted in thirty years. He also said that the site selected by the Syndicate for the collieries themselves was mountain land where there were no houses, graves, or properties of any value to the people.\n\nTheir Excellencies finally promised that the Governor of Shansi should at once be instructed to draw up the permit and that it should as soon as received be communicated to me together with all the conditions governing it, when I could accept or reject it. I expressed a hope that the terms would be such as to put an end for ever to any chance of dispute, in which their Excellencies concurred. I said further that I was deeply disappointed at not having the matter concluded, as I expected, at this meeting, and that unless a satisfactory settlement were now arrived at I should have to take very serious action. The meeting then terminated.\n\nIt will be observed that the question of sole right was not once raised at this meeting. Whether the silence of the Wai-wu Pu means that our claim in this respect is now recognized as unassailable and is therefore tacitly conceded I should hesitate to say. The terms of the permit and the conditions governing its issue, when received, will show whether the Chinese Government is really seriously intending to accord the Syndicate its rights or is still actuated by a desire to whittle them away. I think it will be conceded that I have been patient, forbearing, and reasonable, that I have allowed the Wai-wu Pu and the new Governor of Shansi ample time and opportunity to understand the matter in all its bearings, that it is for them now to give a just and satisfactory decision, and that the responsibility for a failure to settle the dispute at once with the serious consequences thereby entailed, of which I have endeavoured to make his Excellency Tong Shao Yi fully cognisant, must rest with the Chinese Government.\n\nI have the honour to inclose a copy of the large scale map above referred to. The lead pencil marking gives very roughly the suggested boundaries of the surface inclosure for the colliery proper, which would amount to 300 mu or thereabouts, the land, of course, having to be purchased by the Syndicate.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General.**\n\nP.S.

Such forests, however, in Sheng-king Province, as particularly belong to the Imperial domain or represent a great religious importance, and are on that account specially protected by the Central Government of Peking, shall be respected and preserved intact. In the region through which the proposed railway line passes, the Company is also authorized to work coal mines in order to meet the demand required for the construction and exploitation of the branch line, by paying a certain price calculated by weight of the coal extracted.

Brown to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nTien-tsin, September 24, 1906.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of and to thank your Excellency for the telegram of the 21st instant, which reached me through His Majesty's Consulate-General, and was worded as follows:----\n\n\"I shall take the first opportunity to press for issue of Shansi permit. I quite recognize that you have waited long enough, but as the Foreign Office will not be in possession of full information until first week of October, I should prefer, if my representations are ineffectual, to wait at least till then before proposing further action.\"\n\nI am communicating this telegram to the Board of the Peking Syndicate in London, in order that all the information in their possession may be placed at the service of the Foreign Office, and I am appealing for the strongest possible support.\n\nIt is gratifying to learn that your Excellency is entirely satisfied with the patience and forbearance hitherto displayed by the Syndicate in these protracted negotiations.\n\nThe history of the case, from the first application for the permit and the visit of my predecessor, Mr. George Jamieson, to the then Governor of Shansi at Tai Yuan Fu in November of last year, when the Syndicate's sole right was challenged, up to the present date, has in its course from time to time been duly reported to His Majesty's Legation. I will only recapitulate a few of the later salient items.\n\nIn February of this year, at the instance of Sir Ernest Satow, I personally took up the discussion of the Syndicate's rights at a meeting with the Wai-wu Pu and some Shansi gentry, when his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, who had been specially charged, I understood, with the conduct of this matter, played the leading part.\n\nI also interviewed at considerable length his Excellency En Shou, the new Shansi Governor, previous to his departure from Peking for his post in March last, the visit being arranged by His Majesty's Legation, and facilitated by his Excellency Tong Shou-yi.\n\nLed to believe that these two Chinese officials were acting in good faith and really endeavouring to arrive at a satisfactory settlement, for the attainment of which they required a reasonable allowance of time, I laid before them full details of our claim, but in no way unduly pressed them.\n\nDuring the long period that subsequently elapsed, I was unable, in response to frequent inquiries, to obtain any information or assurance as to the probable result, beyond obscure hints of a favourable issue. I was constantly met with evasive answers and excuses.\n\nA written application of the 14th July to his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, as Vice-President of the Wai-wu Pu, remained unanswered.\n\nAt last, after various promises to give me a meeting on this subject had not been fulfilled, I managed to obtain an interview at the Wai-wu Pu on the 27th July with their Excellencies Tong Shoa-yi and Chu Pao-fay, his Excellency Lien Fang being present part of the time. On the 31st July attended again.\n\nWhat took place on these two occasions was recorded in my letter to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires of the 2nd August, and, although it amounted to discussion and little more, yet the general tone of the Chinese officials was such as to incline me to credit them at least with good intentions.\n\nOn the 9th August we met again at the Wai-wu Pu by appointment, Mr. Reid, the Syndicate's Engineer-in-Chief, being with me to furnish expert information and maps.\n\nAs a result, the promise was made by their Excellencies, and confirmed more than once before we parted, that instructions would at once be sent to the Governor of Shansi to draft the permit, which, with any attendant conditions, was to be communicated to me immediately on receipt, and I was to be at liberty to accept or reject it according to whether it proved satisfactory or the reverse.\n\nOn the following day, his Excellency Chu Pao Fay sent me a note asking post-haste for two prints of the permit map, which were at once provided.\n\nDelighted with this exhibition of energy, I saw a mirage vision of my task completed.\n\nIn a letter to his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, as Vice-President of the Wai-wu Pu, dated the 20th August, forwarding another copy of the permit map, I, in order to give no room for misunderstanding, mentioned what had occurred at the meeting of the 9th, and pointedly referred to the promise made to me. No answer was returned.\n\nOn the 7th instant, his Excellency T'ong verbally informed me that a communication from the Shansi Governor had not been sent on to me, because it was unsatisfactory, but had been returned to Tai Yuan Fu for amendment, and he promised to let me know at once of the receipt of any further communication, whether satisfactory or not.\n\nOn the 17th instant, he said that nothing further had yet come.\n\nIn these circumstances, tired out with lingering negotiations, weary of waiting for the fulfilment of promises that seem to be forgotten as soon as made, I may perhaps be excused if I incline to accept the conclusion thus gradually forced upon me that this very important matter is being trifled with, that I am being stayed with vain hopes, that there is no intention on the part of the Chinese Government to fulfil its obligations, even when bearing the impress of the Imperial seal, and that this deliberate violation of a solemn agreement is regarded in these days as the common prerogative of the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nThe instructions of my Board of Directors, who are responsible to a large and influential body of shareholders induced to invest their money on the strength of China's written word, are that, failing to obtain the recognition by the Chinese Government of the Syndicate's sole right to mine coal in Ping Ting Chou, which is one of the five districts of Shansi specified by the compact of 1898, with the consequent issue of a permit when applied for, I am to present to the Wai-wu Pu a claim for £2000 a day as compensation for the breach of faith and the resultant losses.\n\nIn deference to your Excellency's wishes, and with great confidence in your Excellency's power to so influence the trend of events as to make this proceeding unnecessary, I postpone for the moment taking this final step.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General of the Peking Syndicate (Limited).", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 409213, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "page_number": 279, "title": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "content_text": "Hong Kong Gov/19646\n\n275\n\nDRAFT.\n\nThe U.S. of S.,\n\nSir,\n\n10th June 1907.\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Stubbs\n\nMr. Antrobus.\n\nMr. Cox.\n\nMr. Lucas.\n\nMr. Graham.\n\nSir M.

The Timber Concession on the Hulankei;\n2. The Concession of some 225,000 acres of agricultural land lying partly in Mongolia and partly in Manchuria near the station of Mongol;\n3. The Concession of the Dalai Nor coal mines;\n4. Concessions of various gold mines in Manchuria.\n\nThe point that has caused the most friction at Harbin, and it is reported has threatened the breaking off of the negotiations at three different times, is the Hulankei Timber Concession, which lies in the upper courses of the Hulan River to the northward of Harbin. The Hulan River empties into the Sungari about 12 miles below Harbin.\n\nIn 1903 the railway made a contract for the delivery of a large quantity of wood with a General Jao Men, the agent of the branch of the Tsitsihar Diplomatic Bureau at Harbin. The contract was a private one. After delivering to the extent of about 15,000 roubles Jao Men was unable to complete the contract. The railway in the meantime had learned of the valuable resources of this timber district, from which Jao Men had obtained the wood. It is reported that the only terms on which Jao Men could reach a settlement for his deliveries were that the timber district be granted to the railway in order that it might complete the contract. Jao Men executed the conveyance and affixed the seal of the Tsitsihar Bureau, but when the paper was taken to the Tartar General at Tsitsihar for approval its legality was denied on the ground that the seal could not be used legally without his sanction in each instance. The Concession was a subject of much contention, but as a large force of Russian soldiers was kept at Tsitsihar the Tartar General realized the wisdom of holding himself in. However, as soon as the main forces of the Japanese army had been withdrawn he is reported to have sent a force of Chinese soldiers to the Concession and bodily ousted the timber cutters. He now holds possession.\n\nThe Russian Minister is said to take up the position that these Concessions have been granted in good faith, and insists upon their recognition. China's reported position is that they were obtained through connivance with subordinate officials, who placed the seals upon the documents without competent authority, and that, as the Eastern Chinese Railway is not a private but a Government institution, it has no authority in matters of such nature to deal with any one but the Chinese Government at Peking.\n\nThe Russian Minister is reported to be pressing these points in order to reach a settlement before the expiration of the evacuation period when the influence of the military force is to be withdrawn, and the Chinese Government is said to have taken a firm stand in refusing to recognize the Concessions. The reported private opinion of prominent Russian officials in Harbin is that nothing short of a resort to arms will induce China to yield, and that Russia is not prepared to take that action.\n\nThere are indications that Russia has no intention of disregarding her Treaty obligations regarding the withdrawal of the balance of her troops; this seems to be the general opinion of all, both Russians and Chinese, and the Chinese officials are beginning to show a spirit of independence not only towards the Russians, but in a degree towards all foreigners.\n\n## Railway\n\nContrary to their former policy, the Railway Company seem now disposed to meet in some spirit of friendliness the coming of foreign merchants and capitalists. On the 30th October, 1906, the **\"Harbin Vestnik,\"** the official organ of the railway, stated the conditions under which foreigners would be permitted to hold leases and reside within the Russian Settlement. The Article translated runs:\n\n**Foreigners in Harbin**\n\n\"A telegram from the head office of the Eastern Chinese Railway in St. Petersburg has recently been received here, stating that foreigners are allowed to lease property on long terms on the Concession belonging to the Eastern Chinese Railway on condition that they shall comply with all rules and regulations made by the said Company as to the payment of taxes, sanitation, police, &c., and that each foreigner shall give a pledge accordingly, which must bear the indorsement of his Consul as a guarantee.\n\n\"We are informed that only a few applications have been entered at the Land Office from foreigners, with the exception of numerous Greeks who have long lived here, and all properties owned by them being entered at the Land Office under the names of juridical persons. This telegram now allows them to hold the property in their own name. As regards other nationals, not many of them have their representatives.\"\n\nThe population within the Settlement is estimated at 95,000, of whom 62,000 are Russians and 33,000 Chinese; the number of Russian railway officials and clerks is given as 5,000, and the number of mechanics and other workmen as 7,000. The total number of Russian residents directly dependent upon the railway is placed at 33,000. These figures do not include soldiers or railway guards. The organization of the Eastern Chinese Railway Company consists of twenty-four departments. The office of General Superintendent is held by Major-General Dimitri L. Horvat; he has two Assistant Superintendents—one for railway affairs, the other for municipal affairs.\n\nThe railway guard in Manchuria number about 28,000, and the military railway brigade about 12,000; the military give the number of the latter as 500. These men are regularly enlisted, and consist of skilled mechanics, engineers, &c. Their proper designation would seem to be the Engineering Corps. It is said that the organization of railway guards after the evacuation will consist of 15,000 railway guard and 10,000 military railway brigade, which total will practically be within the Treaty stipulations (1,600 versts of line).\n\nAs Harbin is still under martial law, the policing of the town, the telegraph posts, &c., are under the military.\n\n## Newspapers\n\nThe more important daily papers published in Harbin are:\n\n1. The **\"Harbin,\"** which was started during the first part of 1906. It is owned by a M. Popoff, a rich Russian Jew, who is also its chief editor. Its sub-editor is a Mr. Weber, a naturalized American citizen. Its policy is democratic, and it advocates self-government for Harbin and equal privileges to foreigners. It is opposed to any aggressive policy in the Far East. It is probably the most popular paper published in Harbin.\n2. The **\"Novie Krai,\"** which was published in Port Arthur during the siege, and was subsidized by the Russian Government. Its editor is a former Russian naval officer. The paper is Conservative, and advocates purely Russian interests.\n3. The **\"Harbin Vestnik,\"** the official organ of the Eastern Chinese Railway Company. Its editor is a subordinate official under General Horvat. It began publication in 1903. It often publishes very interesting information regarding the commercial and industrial conditions in Manchuria.\n4. The **\"Yunden Pao,\"** owned by the Eastern Chinese Railway Company, and receiving a subsidy from the military authorities. It is published in Chinese, but has a Russian editor. It advocates a progressive policy for China and closer relations with Russia. There will also soon be published in the same office a Mongol paper, which is to receive a subsidy.\n5. The **\"Golos Manchuria,\"** which has recently started. Its policy appears to be Liberal. Its circulation is small, and the paper is unimportant.\n\n## Commercial\n\nAs soon as the main forces were withdrawn trade at Harbin suffered an enormous depression. For two years business had been conducted on the basis of war prices. Evidently the merchants had not given much credence to Russia's intention to evacuate, as they continued to stock up even after the evacuation was well under way. Most of the Russian stores now are stocked to their limit with goods, much of which is now unmarketable in Harbin, or at least the demand is greatly limited. These stocks have been bought chiefly on credit. One merchant alone has a stock of 1,500,000 roubles of underwear and clothing. The meeting of the credits as they have fallen due has drained most of the money out of the hands of the Russian merchants.\n\nSince the commencement of the Manchurian Railway scheme, Russian merchants themselves have made little or no energetic efforts to secure the Chinese trade of North Manchuria. Such efforts as have been made in that line were conducted by the Eastern Chinese Railway and the Russo-Chinese Bank through agents who seem to have lacked foresight and business ability and, in some instances, integrity. The consequence is, so far as the Chinese trade is concerned, Russian commercial interests have received practically no benefits from the predominating influence that Russia has held over this portion of Manchuria for the past ten years. The Russian merchants at Harbin have been satisfied with such business as the railway and the army have thrown their way.\n\nPage 308", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411166, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 343, "title": "CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## The principal points at issue in these are said to be :-\n\n1.

The Concession of the Dalai Nor coal mines;\n4. Concessions of various gold mines in Manchuria,\n\nThe point that has caused the most friction at Harbin, and it is reported has threatened the breaking off of the negotiations at three different times, is the Hulankei Timber Concession, which lies in the upper courses of the Hulan River to the northward of Harbin, The Hulan River empties into the Sungari about 12 miles below Harbin.\n\nIn 1903 the railway made a contract for the delivery of a large quantity of wood with a General Jao Men, the agent of the branch of the Tsitsihar Diplomatic Bureau at Harbin. The contract was a private one. After delivering to the extent of about 15,000 roubles Jao Men was unable to complete the contract. The railway in the meantime had learned of the valuable resources of this timber district from which Jao Men had obtained the wood. It is reported that the only terms on which Jao Men could reach a settlement for his deliveries were that the timber district be granted to the railway in order that it might complete the contract. Jao Men executed the conveyance and affixed the seal of the Tsitsihar Bureau, but when the paper was taken to the Tartar General at Tsitsihar for approval its legality was denied on the ground that the seal could not be used legally without his sanction in each instance. The Concession was a subject of much contention, but as a large force of Russian soldiers was kept at Tsitsihar the Tartar General realized the wisdom of holding himself in. However, as soon as the main forces of the Japanese* army had been withdrawn he is reported to have sent a force of Chinese soldiers to the Concession and bodily ousted the timber cutters. He now holds possession,\n\nThe Russian Minister is said to take up the position that these Concessions have been granted in good faith, and insists upon their recognition.

Dodwell and Co. made a second unsuccessful attempt in Shanghae in September last to dispatch another British ship, the \"Bessie Dollar,\" to Mexico with coolies under contract. The attempt failed, as it had done at Foochow, permission to clear being refused by His Majesty's Consul-General. Sir H. de Sausmarez, who was appealed to for an opinion on the legal aspect of the case, was, I understand, strongly of the opinion that the law required amendment.

Myers and Vizerie, of Pagoda Anchorage, and were passed as being perfectly healthy at the time of their departure. I am unable to ascertain at what precise time the epidemic of \"beri-beri\" broke out among the coolies. M. Vetch, a French citizen, by whom the coolies were shipped, states that the epidemic appears to have broken out one month after their arrival at Santa Rosalia. On the other hand, it was stated by the French Vice-Consul, M. Hardy, that some six or seven of the coolies had died on the voyage out, but he could not give the cause of the deaths. He also informed me that over 100 of the coolies had died at the mines, and consequently the \"Compagnie du Boléo\" decided to repatriate those of the coolies who were sick.\n\nThese coolies, 112 in number, were shipped from Santa Rosalia by the steam-ship \"Illaworth,\" and five days later 109 of them (three having died on this voyage) were transhipped at Salina Cruz into the British steam-ship \"Alabama.\" The surgeon of the \"Alabama\" states in his report that all of the 109 received on board were suffering from \"beri-beri\"; forty-five died on the voyage and three died after arrival at Pagoda Anchorage of this disease.

Brown to Sir J. Jordan\n\nTien-tsin, January 23, 1907\n\nALL my information still points to the fact that the chief opponent of the Syndicate's rights in Shansi is his Excellency Ting Niehtai (acting Fantai), who is endeavouring to obtain coal-mining machinery from any firm in Tien-tsin that can be got to supply it, using as one of his agents Mr. McCoy, son-in-law of the Rev. A. Sowerby, of Taiyuanfu, the latter being, as your Excellency will remember, the keen intermediary of his Excellency Ting in the preliminary negotiations commencing last November for a conference which the latter professed to be anxious to have with me, but which I am firmly convinced was merely a pretext to create further delay.\n\nThis Mr. McCoy was formerly in the employ of Messrs. Buchheister and Co., of Tien-tsin, but resided at Taiyuanfu, where he arranged various deals in machinery with his Excellency Ting Niehtai. A British member of another Tien-tsin firm called on me recently and informed me that he had been approached by a Chinese gentleman named Cheng Yu, of the Shansi Educational Board, on behalf of his Excellency Ting, whose name was also endorsed on the card produced to me, for the purchase of machinery to be used in the Syndicate's Pingtingchow area. The British gentleman, who is intimately connected with mining ventures in North China, and well acquainted with the places set apart in the Agreement of 1898 for the Syndicate's operations, refused, so he said, to have anything to do with the matter unless his Excellency Ting could put down in advance 200,000 taels, the probable cost of the machinery required, a condition which was not complied with. From the same source I also learnt that a pump and boiler supplied by Messrs. Buchheister and Co. had lately gone up to Pingtan, in Pingtingchow, under the charge of a German operator, for a shaft within the limits of the Syndicate's permit area as defined in the application of November 1905. My informant had himself seen it on the way.\n\nI need not point out to your Excellency that such a proceeding is in distinct antagonism to the assurance given me at the Wai-wu Pu by his Excellency Tong Shao-yi that no foreign machinery or capital other than the Syndicate's should be employed and that reports of attempted dealings in that direction with foreign firms in Tien-tsin were baseless.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General.\n\n## Inclosure 6 in No. 1\n### Mr. G.

Jordan\n\nTien-tsin, January 29, 1907\n\nWITH reference to the concluding paragraph of your Excellency's letter of the 26th instant, informing me that the Wai-wu Pu took exception to Mr. Reid's proposed visit to Pingtingchow, I would point out that there would seem to be a misapprehension of the nature of Mr. Reid's mission, which the Wai-wu Pu erroneously connect with the application for a permit to open mines in the district—altogether another question.\n\nMy communications to your Excellency of the 18th December and 8th instant referred solely to the Agreement for smelting works in Shansi of the 3rd July, 1905, by which instrument the Chinese Government became, on certain well-defined terms, a co-partner with the Syndicate in this undertaking. The Syndicate is anxious that this Agreement should be carried out at once and is prepared to fulfil its part. It is absolutely necessary as a preliminary that specimens of the coal, iron ore, and limestone should be submitted to analysis in London, and it is advisable that such samples should be collected by an expert, who could at the same time point out the most advantageous site for the works with due regard to the location of the most suitable minerals and the vicinity of the railway.\n\nI hesitate to interpret the Wai-wu Pu's letter to your Excellency as an admission that, in a simple, unobjectionable, and temporary proceeding of this nature, the Chinese Government, which itself has a proprietary share in the enterprise, is powerless to control a section of its subjects, and therefore cannot afford the necessary authority and protection in fulfilment of its obligations, especially in a district now closely linked to Peking by the Cheng-tai line.\n\nAt my interview with your Excellency on the 24th instant, I received the impression that Mr. Reid's journey, if unobtrusively carried out, need not be indefinitely postponed. My information from Mr. Stewart at Pingtan, who has also been written to on the subject by the local Magistrate under telegraphic orders from the Governor (copies and translations inclosed herewith), is that, although a modified boycott of his establishment still continues, the neighbourhood is otherwise peaceful, and he does not anticipate any trouble for Mr. Reid during the latter's short visit. I may mention that Mr. Reid expects to leave for England very soon, and it is important that he should take the mineral samples with him.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General.\n\n[2418 -6] \nB 2 \n608", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411438, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 615, "title": "CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# Inclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nWang, Magistrate of Pingtingchou, to Mr. J.

The Governor's idea is that you be requested to oppose Mr. Reid's rashly coming to Pingtingchou.\n\nThe whole idea of the Governor's telegram is to preserve the existing friendly relations and to guard against the possibilities attending a misunderstanding upon the part of the people. Can you or not, out of regard for the Wai-wu Pu and his Excellency the Governor, manage to prevent Mr. Reid from coming? It would be a convenience to all concerned. I inclose the telegram, which, after perusal, kindly return. Kindly let me have a reply so that I can report to the Governor.

(Card inclosed.)\n\nGovernor of Shansi to Wang, Magistrate of Pingtingchou.\n\nGovernor's Yamén, Taiyuan-fu, January 22, 1907.\n\nA telegram just to hand from the Wai-wu Pu states that a letter had been received from the British Minister stating as follows:-\n\n\"I am in receipt of a letter from the Agent-General of the `Peking Syndicate (Limited)`, informing me that Mr. Reid, the engineer-in-chief, is shortly going to Pingtingchou for the purpose of searching for samples of coal, iron, lime, and other minerals, for sending to England to be analyzed. Mr. Reid has applied for a passport. He will be at Pingtingchou only some ten days. I am requested to move the Wai-wu Pu to instruct the officials of the province to avoid the possibilities which might arise from a misunderstanding.\"\n\nTo this the Wai-wu Pu replied that the `Peking Syndicate` proposed to open mines in that district, but that the Governor had not been able to issue a permit, the reasons for which had been communicated in their despatch dated the 10th January, 1907. Should the `Peking Syndicate` send Mr. Reid, the engineer-in-chief, to search for samples of coal, iron, and other mineral products, the people of that district will be sure to misunderstand and make difficulties which will be hard to straighten out. It is hoped that this will be noted and the said engineer-in-chief be instructed not to proceed.\n\nNow in addition to forwarding copies of the correspondence, which it is hoped will be noted, the Magistrate concerned should at once communicate the contents of this telegram to Mr. Stewart, the `Peking Syndicate`'s foreign representative at Pingtingchou, requesting him to by all means stop Mr. Reid from rashly coming to Pingtingchou, lest the people of the region through misunderstanding should create difficulties which it will be hard to straighten out. The local officials cannot take upon themselves the responsibility for protecting, &c. (seeing there is no), without a passport from the Wai-wu Pu. As soon as possible manage to communicate with the Syndicate concerned. Your reply is awaited.\n\n**(Seal of the Governor.)**\n\n## Inclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Prince Ch'ing.\n\nYour Highness,\n\nFebruary 1, 1907.\n\nI informed Mr. Brown, Agent-General of the `Peking Syndicate`, of the objection expressed in the Board's letter of the 21st January against the contemplated visit of Mr. Reid to Pingtingchow for the purpose of collecting specimens of ore for analysis in London.\n\nIn his reply, which I have just received, Mr. Brown points out that this visit of Mr. Reid for the purpose of collecting specimens of ore is not connected with the question of the Syndicate's application for a permit to open mines. The Syndicate has an Agreement with the Chinese Government for establishing smelting works in Shansi, and is prepared to carry out this Agreement at once. But it is necessary as a preliminary to have specimens of the coal, iron ore, and limestone analyzed, and to investigate the most suitable site for establishing the smelting works. These works are to be undertaken in partnership with the Chinese Government, so it is to the interest of both parties that the Syndicate's engineer-in-chief should have an opportunity of collecting the specimens which are required.\n\nIt appears to me that your Highness' Board must have misunderstood the nature of the request embodied in my letter of the 14th January. Mr. Reid's visit has nothing to do with the application made by the Syndicate for a mining permit, but is merely, as stated, for the purpose of collecting specimens. Unless the local authorities deliberately give a false colour to the object of his visit, it is not to be anticipated that the country people will misconstrue his intentions. I accordingly have replied to Mr. Brown that there is nothing to prevent Mr. Reid from proceeding, and trust that your Highness' Board will telegraph to the local authorities to give him such protection and facilities as he may require.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n**(Signed)** J.

I have stated that I see nothing to prevent Mr. Reid proceeding under his passport, and I have requested the Wai-wu Pu to instruct the local authorities by telegraph to give him such protection and facilities as he may require.\n\nIn view of the agitation in Shansi touching the Syndicate's affairs, I think Mr. Reid should exercise care and prudence in carrying out the purpose of his journey.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n**(Signed)** J.

With the exception of Rules 3 and (5), the penalties mentioned in which could not be enforced without the special sanction of His Majesty's Government, I have authorized him to use his discretion in putting his proposed Rules into operation locally as a purely provisional measure, and to cancel the Certificate of Registry in any case of wilful breach.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) J.

The Chinese launches are all heavily taxed for licences, &c., the amount paid by them being, I understand, nearly 1,000 taels per annum, and some of them pay, besides, large sums for monopolies of certain sections of the waterways. Launches under foreign flags are, of course, exempt from these taxes and are not bound to recognize any monopolies. Hence, the native launches are heavily handicapped against their foreign competitors, and it follows that the protection of foreign flags is a greatly coveted boon.\n\nOf British launches, twenty odd are registered as the property of C. T. Fisher, a half-caste British subject, who is also agent for ten more, the property of Companies in Hong Kong. The inquiry into the piracy of the \"Feinam,\" the Minutes of which were forwarded to you in my despatch No. 3, to which reference has already been made, indicated a most unsatisfactory state of things. It appears that Fisher was in the habit of chartering his launches to Chinese for a fixed monthly sum, and as long as the payment of this was forthcoming he took no further interest in the launch, the charterers engaging crew, paying for coal, and repairs, and deciding on...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411761, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 261, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\nMr. G.

Hsiu-wu-Hsien is the Magisterial District in which the Jameisen coal mines are situated, and the issue of such a placard at the present time is in many ways fraught with danger.\n\nMr. Reid has recently heard from an official source that a boycott of the Syndicate in Honan is being organized at Kaifeng Fu, but, though no secret was made of the matter, he has not yet obtained details sufficient for a formal report.\n\nI have asked Mr. Reid to furnish, as soon as possible, particulars of what occurred at the mass meeting called for in the placard. Meantime I would ask your Excellency to represent to the Chinese Government the serious consequences of allowing or fostering such wide-spread agitation against the Syndicate which has spent, and is still spending, very large sums of money in the Jameisen colliery in Honan on the faith of the Imperially sanctioned Agreement of 1898. The Syndicate is endeavouring at all costs to fulfil its part of that contract, and has a right to expect the whole-hearted support of the Chinese Government, which has so important an interest, both financially and otherwise, in the success of this enterprise.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) GEORGE BROWN,\nAgent-General.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\nTranslation of a Placard, posted at Hsiu-wu-Hsien and other places in Honan,\nCalling a Mass Meeting at Hsiu-wu-Hsien on February 28, 1907.\n\n**A Special Announcement.**\n\nAT the present time there is a matter of importance to us of Hsiu-wu, which if we can manage well means life, but which means death if it cannot be arranged.\n\nDo our City Fathers and brethren know what this matter is? It is the matter of the mining interests. At Pai Tso the Britishers have opened coal mines. Those who know say that the foreigners are carrying off our profits from coal; those who do not know say \"let us pay no attention to them.\" Do you not know that the foreigners, having obtained the coal mines, will want to appropriate the gold and silver mines of the Tai Hang Mountains, and that we of the Ho Pei region shall all perish when they are exhausted? Just now, too, we dare not make a rumpus with the foreigners. Let one and all think up some good plan. The foreigners, having opened mines, cannot but let us open mines. Therefore, it is decided to hold a mass meeting at the Drill Ground in the East Suburb on the 16th of this moon (28th February) to talk over this matter. Men from Wei Hui have been invited to come to make speeches. No one must on any account miss hearing them.\n\nA memorial service for Li, the Shansi martyr, will also be held.

If they are issued without the knowledge of the local authorities there must be a singular lack of vigilance on their part, while if the local authorities permit ignorant agitators to influence public opinion by these means, they are involving themselves in a heavy responsibility.

Pokotilow, Russian Minister at Peking, who as former Manager of the Russo-Chinese Bank was one of the co-signatories of this instrument, has recently been absent in Manchuria, but, returning to the capital to-day, was good enough to accord me an interview this afternoon while the mail train made its brief stop at Tien-tsin. His Excellency, than whom no one is in a better position to testify, confirmed the signing of the Agreement in the circumstances set forth.\n\nThere is no doubt that this Agreement was framed in order to facilitate the negotiations, separate, but to some extent co-related, which were then all but completed by the Tsung-li Yamên on the one side, with the Syndicate and the Russo-Chinese Bank respectively on the other. Clause 17 of the Syndicate's Shansi Agreement of the 21st May, 1898, incorporates the main point of the subsidiary compact between the Bank and the Syndicate, and shows not only the effect that the latter instrument was intended to produce, but also the interest that the Tsung-li Yamên had in arranging matters amicably at the time by providing in advance for the insertion of this stipulation. The sentence in Clause 17 of the Syndicate's Shansi Agreement runs thus (the red underlines* being my own): \"With reference to the Chengting-Taiyuan Railway, for the construction of which the Bureau has borrowed capital from others, the Peking Syndicate, to avoid disputes, shall not construct any railway within 100 li on each side of it.\" This scarcely supports the Wai-wu Pu's contention that \"the Agreement in respect of this\" (the Peking Syndicate's Shansi) \"Concession was an entirely separate matter from the Agreement with the Russo-Chinese Bank respecting the Chengtai Railway, and the one did not affect the other.\" It would in fact seem, moreover, to be direct evidence that \"China's concurrence and its...\n\n* Printed in italics.\n\nPage 260", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411788, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 288, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "**[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]**\n\nKaisha under the licence granted to them, the effect of which would have been that the Council would have received a double fee for the same piece of Bund frontage.

Yet I see no indication that the permit applied for eighteen months ago in accordance with the terms of the Syndicate's Agreement will be issued, and I am obliged to press the matter once more on your Highness' attention.\n\nThe situation as it stands is not without grave danger to the credit of the Chinese Government. A solemn covenant signed by the representative of the Shansi Bureau of Trade, sealed by the Tsung-li Yamên, and confirmed by Imperial Decree is being violated by the high authorities of Shansi at the bidding of certain agitators, students, and officials, and if a flagrantly illegal proceeding of this nature is not vigorously suppressed by the Central Government the result must be a diminution of prestige in the financial markets of the world.\n\nI have the honour to request your Highness to take the necessary steps without loss of time to compel the Shansi authorities to perform their manifest duty in this matter, and so avoid an addition to the claim for compensation which has already been presented.\n\nI avail, &c.

Similar assurances, it is understood, have been made to His Majesty's Legation. Now the Central Government appears to have adopted the views of the provincial authorities, and the action of the latter in refusing the permit is indorsed and confirmed, while at the same time all responsibility for compensation is denied.\n\n\"It is, however, more particularly in respect to the second of the two letters that I am now to address you. This letter has reference to the Syndicate's application to proceed with the Agreement for the joint working of iron mines, called for short, the Smelting Agreement. The history of this Agreement may be briefly stated. In 1905, when the Agreement for the purchase of the Tao-ching Railway was being negotiated by Mr. Jamieson, he was strongly pressed to concede to China a half share in the working of iron in Shansi, which, by the Concession, was solely vested in the Peking Syndicate so far as the areas specifically named were concerned. No question whatever was then raised as to the fact that the Syndicate had in truth the sole right even as against the Chinese Government itself; otherwise, of course, there would have been no need to ask the Syndicate to concede anything. The cession, however, was asked for and granted as collateral to the Railway Agreement. It was embodied in a separate document, of which I have the honour to inclose a copy for reference. Both Agreements were submitted to the Throne in a Memorial by Sheng Kung Pao, then Director-General of Railways, and both were ratified by Imperial Decree in the usual form. The Smelting Agreement is therefore a validly subsisting Agreement of the highest authority.\n\nIt is this Agreement which the Syndicate now wishes to proceed with. The Syndicate's Agent-General having failed to get any reply to his own application, requested the assistance of Sir John Jordan, and the reply of the Chinese Government is contained in the second letter referred to. It simply says China at present has no intention of establishing smelting works in Shansi, and therefore there is no need to discuss the details of the joint working.\n\nMy Directors feel that the position taken up by the Wai-wu Pu is one that cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged. The Agreement was entered into at the request of the Chinese themselves, in substitution for that part of the original Concession which gave the Syndicate the sole right, and they cannot indefinitely delay the work simply by saying they are not prepared to do their part. If they regret the bargain, the Syndicate is prepared to waive it and go on with the original Agreement, or in the alternative if the difficulty is want of funds the Syndicate would be willing on terms to lend them the amount necessary for erection of smelting works. But in one form or other my Directors must press that the work be proceeded with without delay.\n\nAs the refusal of the Chinese Government is qualified by the words \"at present,\" my Directors propose to instruct Mr. Brown, in the first place, to press for the fixing of an early date within which the Smelting Agreement, as it now stands, is to be...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412035, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 535, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# 533\n\n## 2\n\nproceeded with. If that is refused, then he is to put before them the alternative propositions above mentioned. If both these propositions are rejected, then my Directors propose, subject to the approval of Secretary Sir E. Grey, to instruct Mr. Brown to request His Majesty's Minister to present to the Chinese Government a further claim for compensation similar to what was presented in respect to the delay in issuing the coal permit for Ping-ting Chow.\n\nIn regard to the amount of this claim, it is very difficult for my Directors to give data on which it should be calculated, but they submit it must from the nature of the case be something substantial. In the original Prospectus, the earnings from the working of iron were estimated at £500,000 per annum, but to be well within the mark, I am to submit that £100 per diem be named in the first instance, coupled with the intimation that the sum will be increased after a certain date if the refusal is persisted in, as was done in the case of the Ping-ting Chow permit.\n\nTrusting that this proposition may commend itself to the approval of Sir Edward Grey, I have, &c.\n\n**THOS.

I have the honour to observe that this Board have already on various occasions informed your Excellency in specific terms of the reason why the Government of Shansi is unable to issue the desired permit to mine.\n\nIn reply to your Excellency's note now under acknowledgment, the Board have the honour to repeat again, explicitly, that China entirely denies all responsibility for compensation in this matter.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Peking Syndicate, Tien-tsin, to Sir J.

I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt yesterday evening of your Excellency's letter of the 11th instant, forwarding two further notes from the Chinese Government, the first rejecting all responsibility regarding the non-issue of the mining permit for Ping-ting Chow, and the second conveying a refusal to carry out the Smelting Agreement. I venture to tender my respectful thanks for your Excellency's continued endeavours to obtain just treatment for the Syndicate, fruitless though they have so far proved.\n\nThe matter of the permit is in the hands of His Majesty's Government and Excellency. I do not, therefore, take upon myself to add what is already on record beyond once more expressing the Syndicate's full confidence that effective steps will be taken eventually to bring home to the Chinese Government the injustice of the course hitherto pursued.\n\nWith regard to the Shansi Smelting Agreement of 1905, whereby the sole right of working iron and coal in five districts of Shansi is confirmed to the Syndicate, and China's expressed wish to take part in the working of iron to the extent of one half-share is recorded, with the distinct proviso that the Chinese Government will provide funds for the erection of the works to smelt the ores of the co-operation, I can only say that the repudiation of this solemn compact by the Wai-wu Pu's note...\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1\n\n**Wai-wu Pu to Sir J.

WHEREAS the Shansi Bureau of Trade, having been granted the sole right to work iron and coal in Yu Hsien, Ping-ting Chow, Luan, Tsechow, and Pingyang Fu, entered into an Agreement with the Peking Syndicate in the 24th year of Kwangsu (1898) whereby the Syndicate was requested to work the aforesaid mines for a term of sixty years, now it is further agreed as follows:- China being desirous to join in the working of iron in the above-mentioned places, namely, Yu Hsien, Ping-ting Chow, &c., and of coal and coke required for smelting purposes, the Peking Syndicate consents to such participation to an extent of one-half share. The joint working to be for a term of sixty years, and the term to run from the date of the issue of the (Governor's) permit to work. During the continuance of the term, the Chinese and English Managers shall be of equal number and have equal powers. In apportioning the capital in the joint working, the Syndicate may bring into account, as part of their capital, all preliminary expenses which can be shown by vouchers to have been expended actually for affairs in relation to iron mines. All details of such joint working will be settled by a separate Agreement. As regards the above-mentioned coal-mining areas, if, when the time comes, co-operation is desired, the matter may be discussed between the Shansi Bureau of Trade and the Syndicate.\n\n2. The Chinese Government will provide funds for the erection of smelting works in Shansi, where the ores of the co-operation may be smelted into pig-iron in order to facilitate its conveyance by railway. These smelting works shall be established either near the place where the iron is produced, or near the railway at some convenient place to be mutually agreed upon. The latest and most approved foreign type of smelting plant will be selected. If when the time comes the Syndicate can supply plans and estimates, they may be handed in to the Chinese Director-General of Works, who will select the most suitable pattern with a view to economy and rapidity of working. If the industry is flourishing, and an extension of works would be profitable, the Chinese Government should be consulted as to the best mode of effecting such extension with a view to the mutual benefit of the mines and works.\n\n3. The charges for smelting are to be reasonable, and will be mutually decided upon hereafter. Coal and coke actually required for smelting will be supplied from the mines mentioned in clause 1, if so desired, on special terms at a somewhat less price than is charged to the public, and the Syndicate will give the preference to the works in regard to such supply. After the works have been established, the Chinese Government shall always maintain them in good order; and the Syndicate shall, not without the consent of the Chinese Government, send its ores for smelting to any other places or otherwise dispose of them. Conversely, there shall be no delay on the part of the smelting works in smelting the Syndicate's ores handed over for that purpose.\n\n4. The smelting works, and all extensions thereof, shall be the property of the Chinese Government. The Director-General of the works shall appoint a suitable expert as Smelting Master. If at the time there is no properly qualified Chinese, an Englishman will be appointed. The agreement with such smelting-master will be signed by the Director-General.\n\nExcept as modified by the foregoing four rules, and by the detailed Agreement to be hereafter drawn up, all the clauses in the original Agreement hold good.\n\nThese Regulations are drawn up in English and Chinese, and are signed in duplicate, one copy of each to be held by the respective parties as evidence.\n\n(Signed at Peking the 3rd July, 1905.)\n\n(Signed)\n\n(Seal of his Excellency Shêng Hsuan Huai.)\n\nG.

Offer of the Company to arrange the appointment of an Assessor has so far, understand, been declined by the Chinese. I agree with Sir E. Satow (vide his letter to which you refer), under these circumstances, that we should strenuously resist any attempt on the part of the Viceroy to dispossess the Company of their property, unless it be in accordance with a judgment of a British Court in China.\n\nThe Company's case is doubtless somewhat weakened, on the other hand, by the fact that the transfer was never confirmed by Imperial Decree, though it appears to me that their assumption in the negotiations that an official of Chang's position was authorized to conclude an arrangement was justified. Any reasonable compromise to which the Viceroy will assent might therefore, I think, be accepted; it should, however, be made clear to him that we cannot allow the property of the Company to be confiscated.

Hillier and Bland at Hankow, Mr. Fraser told me that they have received from their London people a telegram that they were informed by Yokohama Specie Bank, through its London agency, that the negotiations with the Viceroy about the loan was broken off. So these gentlemen came down to see the Viceroy, and had an interview with him yesterday. On hearing this, I said that should Yokohama Specie Bank decide to break off the pending negotiations with the Viceroy about the proposed Hupei industrial loan, I thought Mr. Odagiri shall also be informed thereof before the bank gave its London office notice to such effect, and he would have withdrawn his offer to the Viceroy at once. This not being the case, and myself not having received any such informations from Tôkiô, neither myself nor Mr. Odagiri did take any steps of discontinuing the said negotiations. On the contrary, Mr. Odagiri, so far as I know, has been eagerly pursuing the same line as he used to. Now that I hear from you that your bankers have received such informations and started their movements, we have to report the present circumstances to Tokio and Yokohama, and await instructions as well as informations.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1\n\nDear Mr. Chan,\n\nConsul-General Fraser to Mr. Chan,\nHankow, May 24, 1907.\n\nAS regards his Excellency the Viceroy's antimony ore scheme, I am told that there is this practical difficulty, that the ore varies enormously, and unrefined antimony would not be a stable security unless of course the lenders had their own experts at the mines before and during working, which his Excellency would hardly agree to.\n\nMoreover, the antimony market is very uncertain, and Carlowitz and Co., for instance, feed it very cautiously in order to avoid running the price down. I have little doubt they or some one else would gladly contract for his Excellency's ore, and so part of the loan charges might be met. To this, so far as I know, we should have no objection.\n\nThe following works have been executed:\n\n1. Hou Hu embankment\n2. Wuchang to Chingkou embankment\n3. Wuchang Commercial Settlement site\n4. Wuchang, new roads and streets, as per plan and list\n5. Schools, colleges, and other public buildings, as per list\n6. Copper and silver mints\n7.

Cotton factories, let for ... taels a-year\nOther factories ... taels a-year\nIlanyang Ironworks, bound to pay 1 tael per ton of pig iron, at least 400 taels a-day, within a short time, say annually ...\n\nFor developing Wuchang Settlement, reclaiming Hou Hu land, upkeep of embankments, opening of antimony mines at ..., coal mines at ..., iron mines at ..., copper mines at ..., as well as Government enterprises in the province, the Viceroy wants to borrow 1,000,000l. at 5 per cent. for [15] years, during the first [5] years of which interest only shall be paid, the principal to be repaid in [10] equal yearly instalments, and Hupei to have the right on giving [5] months' written notice at any time after the completion of [10] years to pay off all or any part of the principal outstanding.\n\n(The figures within brackets are merely my suggestion.) The loan is sanctioned by Imperial Decree of ... 1907; is guaranteed by the seal of the Shan Hou Chu. Instalments of principal and interest will come from the incomes mentioned above, the sale of mineral ores, and, if necessary, the general provincial revenues, especially earmarked being the special taxes on sugar, tobacco, and samshu, the collection of which in case of default will be supervised by an agent of the lenders; these bring in ... taels per annum.\n\nIn order to secure proper development of mines, upkeep of embankments, and execution of other public works, his Excellency the Viceroy will engage one of the lenders' nationality to supervise under his Excellency each branch of such works, whether mining engineering, civil engineering, or other sorts.\n\nIf you can fill in the blanks in the above satisfactorily I think such a prospectus would go through without trouble. The Hanyang works royalty especially should soon come to a good sum, which it can well afford to pay.\n\nI apologize for giving you so lengthy a document, but you translate better and quicker than I can.\n\nWill you please tell his Excellency the Viceroy that I am instructed to say to the Japanese Consul that the Chinese Government recognizes as binding upon it both his Excellency's despatch to me of the 9th September, 1905, which applies to all Hukuang railways as well as the Hankow-Canton line, and also the earlier unconditional undertaking of the Wai-wu Pu to apply to us in case China's own capital proves insufficient.\n\n[2571 p-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412255, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## (No. 44.

Splingaerd, interpreter to the Belgian Legation at Peking, and himself, as representative of a financial group.\n\nTranslations of the three contracts are inclosed; the fourth M. Splingaerd stipulated should be kept secret.\n\nUnder the Agreement, which is for five years and renewable, M. Baesens is to find the necessary funds, estimated at about 1,000,000 fr. at 4¾ net and 5 per cent, a-year, and to form a Syndicate for this purpose, as well as to insure the due execution of the engagements entered into by M. Splingaerd. In return he is to be sole agent for the present and any future Concessions in Shensi and Kansuh granted to M. Splingaerd, including the boring of oil wells and refining of kerosene proposed by the Viceroy Shêng to that gentleman. M. Splingaerd is out on leave, and will act as Lanchou agent of the Syndicate, of which M. Baesens will be the Director in China.\n\nI inquired of M. Baesens, who gave as his reference the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, why he brought Belgian business to the British Consulate.\n\nHe replied that his Syndicate's capital would mostly come from British capitalists, and that his own country was not powerful enough to give effective support in case of opposition, which, however, he did not anticipate. Moreover, the Belgian authorities would insist on M. Splingaerd giving the agency to the Banque Sino-Belge instead of to his Syndicate. He was proceeding to Peking shortly and would personally explain to you the position, but meanwhile he wished to ratify his Agreement with M. Splingaerd, and to obtain certified translations which could be shown to financiers in London. He had been adviser to Yuan Shih-k'ai for two years until Russian influence caused his recall to Belgium. After retiring from the army he came back to China, where Jung-Lu had promised him a post as adviser, only to find the Boxer trouble in full violence, and so he had turned his attention to mercantile business.\n\nMr. Combe translated the Chinese documents, of which M. Splingaerd keeps possession, and, after revision, I certified the correctness of his versions. I also witnessed the signatures to the Agreement of the two parties, who deposited one copy here.\n\nIn the \"Han Pao\" of yesterday I saw the inclosed garbled account of the grant of these Concessions and showed it to MM. Splingaerd and Baesens, who were aware of the students' opposition and did not fear any result from it.\n\nMy Japanese colleague called to-day inquiring about M.

Splingaerd, the Belgian Secretary of Legation, for the purchase of a set of machinery for gold-washing and for additional purchases of many appliances required for weaving woollen cloth. The matter has been mutually discussed and this preliminary draft Agreement drawn up embodying the following rules, specifying the machinery, its cost, and the method of conducting the schemes:\n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| **Art. 1** | The gold-washing machinery will include a complete set of appliances for blasting, shaft-sinking, extracting the ore, crushing the stone, washing, refining and separating the gold, together with furnaces and boilers; nothing must be wanting. The actual cost of the necessary materials, freight, insurance, and customs dues from Belgium to Lanchou is reckoned at a total of 40,000 Lanchou taels. |\n| **Art. 2** | For the woollen factory, one complete set of up-to-date steam boilers; hot-water and heating boilers; driving engines, one set; wool-sorting machinery, two sets; machines for spinning thread, two sets; for winding thread, three sets; the necessary thread-twisting, wool-cutting, cloth-pressing, and pumping machines, each one set; with such leather belting and other fittings as are required at the works, and in addition packing, insurance, carriage, customs dues, and other expenses from Belgium to Lanchou, will actually cost 80,000 Lanchou taels. M. Splingaerd will make a separate list, for purposes of record, of the various miscellaneous articles required for use in the factory. |\n| **Art. 3** | In regard to the gold-washing machinery, M. Splingaerd guarantees its daily capacity to be 50,000 catties of ore, producing 20 Chinese ounces of gold. The cloth-weaving machinery is of three kinds, according to fineness, and M. Splingaerd guarantees its daily capacity to produce 500 Chinese feet of cloth 7 feet in breadth, also that the cloth may be dyed of any colour. For the cloth-weaving machinery a daily consumption of coal will be allowed at the rate of 2 tons, or in Chinese measure, 3,200 catties. |\n| **Art. 4** | The woollen factory will employ four foreigners-one cloth-weaver, one thread-spinner, one dyer, and one mechanical engineer. The salary of each will be 300 taels monthly. Two foreigners may be used for the gold-washing machinery, a mining engineer and an engineer-artificer, each drawing a salary of 300 taels monthly. All these will be engaged through the medium of M. Splingaerd in accordance with the Regulations which have hitherto governed the engagement of foreigners. But as regards employment of persons, the Director of the Bureau will have the controlling voice in deciding. The nationality of the men engaged is immaterial: the important point is ability to set up the machines, weave cloth, and work the gold. No outsider may interfere. |\n| **Art. 5** | The foreign artisans engaged must not neglect their work; if there is any neglect of work fines by the day will be deducted from their salary, and other more satisfactory workmen will be engaged in order that business may not be neglected. |\n| **Art. 6** | According to the new Regulations, whenever an Agreement is drawn up the Throne should be memorialized, and the Board written to; only after Imperial sanction is obtained can the matter be definitely settled. This Agreement for those two classes of machinery has been mutually discussed, and is signed as a preliminary draft Agreement. His Excellency Viceroy Shêng will be requested to memorialize and write for permission, and when that is obtained this draft Agreement will become an actual guarantee; if sanction is refused, it will be dropped and become waste paper. |\n| **Art. 7** | The full price of the two kinds of machinery is to be 120,000 taels. When the Throne's sanction has been obtained M. Splingaerd will receive 20,000 taels as first instalment. When the machinery is shipped from Belgium he will receive a second instalment of 20,000 taels. Three months after all the machinery has arrived in Kansuh and been set up complete, if the various kinds of cloth, coarse and fine, daily woven are really 500 Chinese feet, and if the daily amount of ore worked is really 50,000 catties, and produces 20 Chinese ounces of gold, M. Splingaerd will then further receive 80,000 taels as third instalment. If, however, the machinery is not fit for the purposes, or is not in accordance with the standard fixed by the Agreement, it will all be returned to M. Splingaerd to take back. The Kausuh Bureau will not pay a cash for it. The two previous instalments paid to M. Splingaerd, amounting to 40,000 taels, must also be refunded, and the Chief Bureau of Agriculture, Works, Commerce, and Mines of Kansuh will drop the business. But if payment of the third instalment has been authorized, there can be no withdrawal whatever. |\n| **Art. 8** | The woollen factory is the property of Kansuh, the gold works are a source of profit to Kansuh, and the machinery is bought on account of the public of Kansuh. M. Splingaerd acts merely as middleman to buy these two kinds of machinery, having knowledge of cloth-weaving and gold-washing. With all other matters he has no concern. The question of staff is to be dealt with from time to time by the Director of the Chief Bureau of Agriculture, Works, Commerce, and Mines of Kansuh. |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412409, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 169, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# AFFAIRS OF CHINA\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n\n34181 \n166 96 SEP C7 \nJune 29 \n\n### SECTION\n\n[21389]\n\nSir,\n\nNo. 1. \nThe Chinese Engineering and Mining Company to Foreign Office.-(Received June 29.) \n22, Austin Friars, London, June 27, 1907.\n\nON the 19th July, 1906, I wrote informing you that it had come to the knowledge of my directors that rumours were in circulation in North China to the effect that the Viceroy Yuen Chi Kai contemplated taking action hostile to this Company's interests, either of a directly forcible character or by the granting of Concessions for the working of coal within the area owned by this Company.\n\nThe Secretary of State was good enough to communicate with His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking, and on the 4th August you wrote informing me that the latter had stated that he was reliably informed that the rumours in question were ill-founded, and that the Vicer ... was hostile, would do nothing illegal or by force.\n\nI am now instructed by my Board to advise you that a very grave situation has arisen. Information has been received by cable during the last few days from this Company's agent and general manager in China, Major Walter S. Nathan, R.E., that, acting on a Petition dated the 7th June, which had been presented to his Excellency Yuen Chi Kai, requesting permission to open a new mine in the Kaiping coal basin, his Excellency has issued a Rescript dated the 8th June approving a Concession which grants to a Chinese Company mining rights over the whole of the Kaiping coal-field, and limits this Company's working to 10 li from Tongshan and 6 li from Linsi.\n\nMajor Nathan further states that machinery is now arriving for a new Chinese mine at Ma Chia Kan, which is situated in the Kaiping basin about 6 miles from this Company's Tongshan colliery, but that no actual work has yet been started.\n\nAmong the rights acquired by this Company under the purchase Agreement of the 19th February, 1901, Ma Chia Kau is specifically mentioned, clause 1 of the Agreement being as follows:--\n\n\"All the lands, mines, and coal-field, commonly known as the Estate Kaiping Coal-field, situate in the Province of Chihli aforesaid, and including all the mines and seams of coal and minerals geologically connected with the mines and seams of coal known as Tongshan, Hse-Shan, Pan Pe Tien, Ma Chia Kau, Wu Shu Chwang, Chao Ko Chwang, and Linsi, and the exclusive right to search and mine for coal and minerals within the area and coal-field aforesaid, and all other rights and privileges enjoyed in connection therewith, and all other the interest of the said Chinese Engineering and Mining Company therein.”\n\nUnder these circumstances the granting of the Concession in question, and the attempt to arbitrarily limit the rights of this Company to the immediate neighbourhood of the Tongshan and Linsi mines, which are in active operation, constitute a wanton act of aggression upon the property and rights of this Company.\n\nWe learn from Major Nathan that he has been in personal communication with His Majesty's Minister at Peking, who has sent the British Consul at Tien-tsin to see the Viceroy.\n\nWhilst appreciating the promptitude of this action, my directors feel that it is of vital importance that the matter should be dealt with decisively at once, as it is certain that any delay will inevitably render the situation still more grave and complicated, and add to the difficulties of the situation.\n\nI am therefore desired by my directors to ask that instructions may be given by cable to His Majesty's Minister in Peking to protest to the Chinese Government and to the Viceroy immediately against this violation of the Company's rights, and to require that all proceedings under the Concession shall be stopped forthwith, and that the Concession itself shall be cancelled.\n\nAwaiting the favour of your reply, I am, &c.\n\nFor the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company (Limited), \n(Signed) \n**ALFRED W. BERRY**, Secretary.\n\n[2524 ƒ-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412415, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 175, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## Engineering Company (Limited) Negotiations\n\nThe Engineering Company (Limited) attempted to come to terms, and an arrangement was possible if steps were taken to save the Viceroy's \"face.\" He confirmed Mr. Liang's account of the negotiations with Major Nathan and found it impossible to extract a definite offer from the latter. On his return to Tien-tsin, he would make another effort to come to terms with Major Nathan.\n\nI telegraphed the substance of what had passed at these interviews to Major Nathan, who telegraphed on the 4th instant that at a meeting between Chang, the Tien-tsin Customs Taotai, and himself, it was decided that he should submit proposals for a settlement to the Taotai, who, if he considered them satisfactory, would approach the Viceroy.\n\nFrom a telegram received today from Mr. Hopkins, I learn that the Customs Taotai is acting as an intermediary between Major Nathan and the Viceroy, and negotiations are being reopened. To strengthen Major Nathan's hands, I repeated to Mr. Hopkins your telegram No. 80 and instructed him to let the Viceroy know that His Majesty's Government cannot allow confiscation of the Company's property while willing to promote an amicable adjustment.\n\nI have also offered to dispatch Sir Alexander Hosie to take part in the negotiations if it is considered likely to facilitate matters, but have stipulated that I should receive an assurance beforehand that the Viceroy is prepared to accept this method of settlement.\n\nThat the original transfer was defective from a Treaty point of view is conclusively shown in Sir Ernest Satow's despatch No. 183 of the 24th May, 1904. The Chinese contend that rights are claimed under it that were not enjoyed by the old Company and that it was beyond Chang's power to confer upon anyone. Chang Yen Mao denies that the old Company had exclusive mining rights over the whole area known as the \"Estate Kaiping Coal-field.\" Major Nathan's only evidence is that in practice, no private mines were allowed to be worked within that area.\n\nThe whole question is eminently one for friendly adjustment based on accomplished facts. However, considering past efforts and the Viceroy's attitude, one cannot be sanguine that the present attempt will be more successful.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**(No. 36.) Sir,**\n\n**(Signed) J. N. JORDAN**\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n### Consul-General Hopkins to Sir J. Jordan\n\nTien-tsin, June 28, 1907\n\nWith reference to my telegram of the 26th instant, reporting the result of my interview with the Viceroy Yuan on the subject of the Concession granted to a Chinese Company to mine coal in an area where the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company (Limited) claim exclusive rights, I now furnish the following report:\n\nBefore the interview with the Viceroy, I communicated with Major Nathan to acquaint myself with the grounds on which his Company claims that the recent Concession to the Luanchou Mining Company is an infringement of their rights and to know what position Major Nathan took regarding practical means to reach a friendly arrangement.\n\nRegarding the passage in your telegram of yesterday, \"within the area of the land covered by the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company's title-deeds,\" none of this mining area is covered by title-deeds registered in this Consulate, as the locality is not an open port. Only particular parcels of land are covered by Chinese title-deeds.\n\nThe Engineering and Mining Company bases their claim to exclusive mining rights on a clause in the deed of transfer of the 19th February, 1901, from the old Chinese Engineering and Mining Company to the new Chinese Engineering and Mining Company (Limited):\n\n| Clause Description | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lands, mines, and coal-fields | Commonly known as the Estate Kaiping Coal-field, situate in the Province of Chihli |\n| Exclusive rights | To search and mine for coal and minerals within the area and coal-field aforesaid |\n\nNo map of the \"Estate Kaiping Coal-field\" accompanies my copy of this deed of transfer. It might have been an issue of fact whether any given points in the Viceroy's Concession were within the area of the \"Estate Kaiping Coal-field.\" Some points named in the Memorial submitted by the promoters of the Luanchou Mining Company are specifically named in the deed of transfer.\n\nWhen I met the Viceroy at 1 P.M. on the 26th instant, I opened our conversation by telling him that the Agent and General Manager of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company had seen a summary of a Memorial submitting a scheme and regulations for opening coal mines in Luanchou and considered his Company's rights infringed. The Viceroy replied that the Chinese authorities have never recognized the Limited Company and that the deed of transfer is not recognized by them.\n\nThe Viceroy stated that Chang had been cheated by Hoover and others and that the whole transaction is not recognized by the Chinese Government. He referred to a conversation he had with Sir Ernest Satow about two years ago regarding the new Company having to carry out some course of action, which they had not done.\n\nWhen I asked if he knew that all the Chinwangtao property had been registered in this Consulate since 1901 as British land, he \"knew nothing of it.\" His Excellency also dwelt on the distress caused by the high price of coal as a motive for giving a Concession for the opening of further mines.\n\nAs it was impossible to discuss any modus vivendi respecting the proposed Concession on the basis that the Engineering and Mining Company (Limited) has no legal existence, I took my leave.\n\nThe Viceroy's Rescript to the Memorial of the promoters reads:\n\n\"I have considered this Memorial and approve the scheme for opening coal mines at Luanchou and the regulations for raising share capital.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received December 14.) \n\n**(No. 510.)** Sir, \n\nPeking, October 30, 1907. IN continuation of my despatch No. 500 of the 17th instant, respecting the Peking Syndicate's affairs in Shansi, I have the honour to inclose copies of Memoranda drawn up by the Agent-General of the Syndicate describing his interviews with the provincial representatives.* \n\nThe first of these inclosures carries the narrative of events up to the point reached in my previous despatch, and sets forth the grounds upon which the Delegates of the Gentry began by disputing the validity of the Agreement of 1898. \n\nThat their attitude towards the Syndicate is one of unveiled hostility has been made sufficiently evident in their meetings with the Agent-General, and if additional proof were necessary, it is afforded by the complaint of Mr. Brown, copy of which I have the honour to inclose,* showing that two of their number have been instigating an active campaign against the Syndicate in Shansi while these negotiations are in progress with a view to intimidation. I have brought this charge, the truth of which is hardly disputed, to the notice of the Wai-wu Pu. \n\nAt the meeting of the 21st instant the validity of the Agreement was no longer questioned, and a proposal was brought forward by the Gentry for its redemption. \n\nMr. Brown replied to this offer that his Syndicate had no desire whatever to be bought out, but he consented under pressure to receive a definite proposition for repurchase on the understanding that by so doing he did not commit either his Syndicate or His Majesty's Government to accept such a solution. \n\nA firm offer of 600,000 taels, say £90,000, was then made at the next meeting on the 24th instant, but this figure fell far short of the amount which Mr. Brown was induced to name as the minimum which the Syndicate would be likely to accept, viz., 1,500,000, while his counter-proposal that the Chinese should co-operate in working the coal mines with the Syndicate, as they are pledged to do in respect to the iron mines and smelting, was refused all consideration by the Delegates. \n\nAt the next conference on the 29th instant, no advance was made towards an agreement, though the offer for redemption was increased to 1,000,000 taels, say £150,000, a tenth of the sum mentioned by Mr. Brown. The offer of co-operation was again made and refused, and a suspension of all further negotiation was only averted by Mr. Brown's consenting to telegraph the Chinese offer for what it was worth to the London Board. \n\nIn conversation with the Ministers at the Wai-wu Pu on the 29th instant, I described the course which these discussions had taken, and requested them to utilize the intervening period before the next meeting, fixed for the 4th November, in sending for Ting Ta-jén, the Provincial Judge, and impressing upon him the danger of losing this opportunity for an amicable settlement. They promised to speak to Prince Ching on the subject, and agreed with me that the redemption of the Agreement was undesirable, even if the necessary sum could be found. As regards co-operation, I informed them that Mr. Brown had a definite scheme, which he would lay before the Wai-wu Pu if they so desired. \n\nWhether Mr. Brown has been wise in allowing the negotiations to assume this phase and in entertaining in any degree the idea of redemption may perhaps be open to question, but I have little doubt that if he had refused to listen to the long-winded speeches of the Shansi Delegates, and had insisted on confining the discussion *ab initio* to the execution of the Agreement, the conference would merely have come to a deadlock at an earlier date. He can now show the Chinese Government that he has listened patiently to all that the Gentry had to say, and it remains to be seen how far the central authorities can go in compelling the province to accept a reasonable settlement, such, for instance, as Mr. Brown's offer of partnership. \n\n* Not printed. \n\n[2769 o--1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415710, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 405, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "403\n\n12\n\n4.

Respecting the sovereignty of the Chinese Government, the Limited Company cannot, of course, encroach upon that and the duties, taxes, li-kin, and royalties the Company has not forgotten to pay. The report sent to me is made up of useless language and most of it is full of ineffective thoughts.\n\nIn the sixth Article it is evidently recognized that the arrangements for the converting of Chingwangtao Harbour have not been decided on and that the Limited Company having already recognized it as a commercial port it can be arranged that the Customs Taotai of Tien-tsin will have the decision regarding the arrangements in accordance with the despatch of the former Viceroy. In this there seems a slight chance of being able to deal with the matter.\n\nThe Customs Taotai, Tang Shai Yi, reports that he has consulted with W. S. Nathan on several occasions regarding Chingwangtao, and that the understanding come to is similar to the sixth Article, but I should still be allowed to order the Customs Taotai to arrange terms for a proper settlement which may enable us to get back a portion of the land, and in this case we can consider that the portion of the land recovered has been rescued in conformity with the wishes of the Chinese Government orders which is so careful about territorial land. The outcome of this case depends purely on whether the mine and properties can be restored or not.\n\nChang Yi in the spring of last year received several Imperial Orders ordering him to make restoration, but one year has now elapsed and he has been still unable to restore it. According to the opinion of some of the English people here, if Chang Yi were to go to England and be present in Court during the lawsuit which has been instituted for the recovery of the property the desired result might be arrived at easier, but even then it is not certain that this would be the case. Again, I have consulted foreign lawyers on the subject four different times and their opinion is that Chang Yi in the 27th year (1901) made an Agreement to sell Government land and that he undoubtedly used the official seal. That, although this has occurred several years ago, it had been so far impossible for him to make restoration as he was ordered to do, and that even if it could be restored a sum of 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 taels would have to be paid back to the English people as an indemnity for their loss, but as China is overburdened with debt it is, of course, quite impossible to raise such a sum. Further, that Chang Yi was a poor man and only owed his success to the great favour shown him at all times by the throne, and that instead of exerting himself to repay their favours by noble deeds he seized the first opportunity to sell the mines and land of the Imperial Government to a foreigner, and this during the Boxer outbreak in 1900, and while Prince Ching and Li Hung-chang were negotiating for peace at Peking, and that the degraded Chang Yi did make the sale above mentioned on his own accord and without having first obtained the very necessary permission and that he used the official seal in connection with this sale.\n\nA.\n\n13\n\nHe never waited for Li Hung-chang to compose the Memorial to the throne and, moreover, he caused the impression to be spread that Li Hung-chang, acting conjointly with himself, had memorialized the throne, but it is apparent that the real truth was never presented to the throne. He has been guilty of fraud. He wished to raise foreign shares and to change the Company into an Anglo-Chinese Company, and the Agreements and Memorandums entered into with the foreigners have never been copied or memorialized to the throne. I have justified my statement that he had the full intention to cheat and disregard the throne, and when his follies began to come to light he was still unwilling to take steps for a speedy restoration of the mine and lands, but kept putting it off and concealing his follies until the matter has gone on entirely too long and it seems that no remedy can be effected. Surely he is too ungrateful, and with regard to the steps that should now be taken, I earnestly beg the Imperial throne to give their decision, hence my Memorial which I lay before the throne.\n\nRescript received, written with the Vermillion Pen, thus\n\nTo strictly order Chang Yi to make complete restoration as quickly as possible.\n\n18th, 2nd moon.\n\nAnnexure No. 12.\n\nViceroy Yuan Chi Kai to Chang Yen Mao.\n\nI understand by your Excellency's letter that you have recently come to an understanding with Major Nathan, Agent and General Manager of the Limited Company, and the points agreed on are roughly as follows:-\n\n1. That the Limited Company shall on no account encroach on the rights and powers of the Chinese Imperial Government as the Lord of Soil.\n\n2. That the Limited Company agree to pay the taxes and li-kin, royalties, &c., which have been imposed on the produce of the mines.\n\n3. That the proceedings of the Limited Company and its annual accounts shall be reported regularly to the Viceroy of Chihli. That the Regulations laid down by the Central Government shall be observed by the Limited Company.\n\n4. That the general administration of the Company shall be only discussed and settled by you and the Agent of the Limited Company.\n\n5. That with regard to the establishment of the Port of Chingwangtao, the rights and powers of the Chinese Imperial Government shall be in no way infringed by the Limited Company.\n\n6. That at Chingwangtao there are lands owned by the Company and those which were put under the charge of the Company, in dealing with them the Customs Taotai of Tien-tsin shall refer to the original despatch of the late Viceroy wherein he ordered the Company to buy lands.\n\nIn reply to your letter I am obliged to intimate to you that, in full conformation with the Imperial Edict issued last December, you are ordered to effect a complete restoration of the said Company to the original Chinese ownership. By complete restoration we mean that in the first place the registration of the newly incorporated Company in London should be cancelled and nullified. And further all the properties of, and those in connection with the Company, such as lands, rails, canals, wharfs, buildings, depôts, coal-yards, manufactories and other branches of mining enterprise, ships, &c., must all be received back, and reinstituted to the management of our own people. And thirdly, as to the Port Chingwangtao, the money spent by the Limited Company should be estimated and refunded to them in order that it may become a purely Chinese port and to be managed by proper officials. This is the meaning of the term \"Complete Restoration,\" as it is used in the said Imperial Edict.\n\nIn the agreement you presented, the said Limited Company enters therein as a party, this of course shows that the same is in full existence, and therefore the very first requirement has not been fulfilled. As on other points, the limitations laid down to the powers of the Limited Company seem all superfluous. The rights and powers of the Imperial Government cannot be, never were, nor will be encroached by the said Company. They paid their taxes, and reported their proceedings and annual accounts. To what purpose, therefore, your newly signed agreement was meant, I fail to see.\n\nHowever, in the 6th Article about the Port Chingwangtao the Limited", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415760, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 455, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "10\n\nfields ready to be carted to the farm-houses; beans were also harvested, the small millet (Setaria italica) was being cut, while hemp (Cannabis sativa), tobacco, and turnips were still in the ground.\n\nWe\n\nBetween Feng-huang Ting and Ts'ao-ho-kow, which are distant 38.5 and 92.4 miles from Antung respectively by rail, two mountain ranges, the Chi-kuan-shan (Cockscomb) and Ta-fang-shen, have to be crossed and the track zig-zags up and down the steep slopes in a somewhat alarming manner. The curves are marvellously sharp, and it was no surprise to be told that the cars frequently leave the rails. We were fortunate, however, and reached Ts'ao-ho-kow on time (7:15 P.M.), where we had to spend the night in the usual Japanese hotel. There had been cases of cholera at Antung, and there was a medical examination of all passengers on arrival at Tsao-ho-kow. Both pulses were felt by a Japanese doctor, and I was very much afraid that my servant, who had been unable to raise his head all day, would be rejected; but he passed the test without a word, although he was so ill overnight that I had serious intentions of leaving him behind. Next morning he pulled himself together, and, though still very ill, refused to be left behind in Japanese hands.\n\nPunctually at 7:40 A.M. the train, much diminished in size, steamed out of Ts'ao-ho-kow, and, after ascending a valley in which a stream meanders from side to side and has to be repeatedly crossed over trestle bridges, arrived at Ch'iao-t'ou, 38.4 miles from Ts'ao-ho-kow, at 8 minutes past noon. The train was here divided into two portions, and the fore part, consisting of an open baggage wagon, a passenger car, and a small mail van, was dispatched. Crossing the stream it began the ascent of the Mo-tien-ling at the station of Fu-chin, 21 miles from Ch'iao-t'ou, and reached the highest point of the crossing at Ta-tung, 23 miles from Fu-chin. The descent on the north side was very steep (1 in 35 being quite common), and at one point the train had to be backed down. All passed off well: at the station of Meng-chia we had to wait for the other half of the train; and at 3:22 P.M. a fresh start was made for Mukden. About 5 miles from Meng-chia we crossed a long trestle bridge over the T'ai-tzu, which passes the city of Liao-yang, and enters the Hun River, a tributary of the Liao, to the town of Pen-hsi-hu, well known for its coal mines, ironworks, and the manufacture of large brown earthenware jars. The railway traverses the town from end to end along one of its main streets. The city of Feng-huang Ting was too far off to be able to judge of its size, but Pen-hsi-hu is undoubtedly a town of considerable size and importance, and is the largest place touched by the Antung-Mukden line. It is an easy run of 45.8 miles from Pen-hsi-hu to the railway station about 2 miles to the west of Mukden, and this was accomplished, mostly in the dark, in 6 hours 11 minutes, the stoppages at the three intervening stations aggregating 16 minutes, but the well-wooded valleys were replaced by the dull uninteresting plain on which Mukden stands.\n\nBy Article 6 of the Additional Agreement between China and Japan of 1905, \"The Imperial Chinese Government agree that Japan has the right to maintain and work the military line constructed between Antung and Mukden, and to improve the said line so as to make it fit for the conveyance of commercial and industrial goods of all nations. The term for which such right is conceded is 15 years from the date of completion of the improvements above provided for. The work of such improvements is to be completed within two years, exclusive of a period of twelve months during which it will have to be delayed owing to the necessity of using the existing line for the withdrawal of troops. The term of the Concession above mentioned is therefore to expire in the 48th year of Kuang Hsü. At the expiration of that term, the said railway shall be sold to China at a price to be determined by appraisement of all its properties by a foreign expert, who will be selected by both parties. The conveyance by railway of the troops and munitions of war of the Chinese Government prior to such sale shall be dealt with in accordance with the Regulations of the Eastern Chinese Railway. Regarding the manner in which the improvements of the railway are to be effected, it is agreed that the person undertaking the work on behalf of Japan shall consult with the Commissioner dispatched for the purpose by China. The Chinese Government will also appoint a Commissioner to look after the business relating to the railway as is provided in the Agreement relating to the Eastern Chinese Railway. It is further agreed that detailed regulations shall be concluded regarding the tariffs for the carriage by the railway of the public and private goods of China.\"\n\nSo far as I could see or ascertain, there is no through traffic except passengers on the line. There was a little charcoal carried between stations evidently for the use of the railway employés, and poles and planks for building purposes along\n\n11\n\n452\n\nthe line. Railway guards were in evidence at every station, and at Antung they numbered 200 men. No commencement has yet been made in improving the line, and I was informed that, in view of the enormous expenditure that would have to be incurred for the tunnelling and bridging necessary to convert the present light railway into a line suitable for commercial purposes, it has been decided that an easier alignment must be found.\n\nMukden.\n\nThe actual brick-walled city of Mukden covers an area of 1 square mile, and may be described as a miniature Peking, but the suburbs which surround it on all sides have a circumference of 13 miles, and the whole is enclosed by an earth or mud wall. Changes have taken place since I visited it in 1896, and they have assumed the same shape as in Peking—new roads and a police force—both badly needed. A fine, wide metalled road, some 2 miles in length, leads from the railway station to the main West Gate of the inner city, wherein four similar roads connecting the eight gates have recently been built by a Japanese contractor at a cost to the provincial Government of about £15,000 a mile. It seems a large sum (£60,000 for 4 miles of metalled roads), but the Japanese by their command of the railway were the only people in a position to bring the necessary stone and carry out the work. A tramway is to connect the station with the city, and about 20 yards had just been laid at the station end. Uniformed police, armed with batons during the day and rifles with bayonets at night, are stationed 200 yards apart on every street, and are said to maintain excellent order, an example which might well be followed by other cities of Manchuria to be referred to later. In addition to the police, there is a body of 10,000 foreign-drilled troops in and around the city. While the old Palace is being repaired and new offices in foreign style built for the Viceroy and Government, the towers over the gates of the city are being demolished as unsafe. They will doubtless have to be rebuilt, and although the late Viceroy is said to have handed over a balance of 7,000,000 taels to his successor, it has already dwindled to 500,000 taels, and funds are urgently needed to complete the work already in hand and carry out other reforms. The Viceroy was absent in Peking, but I had two interviews with the Governor (His Excellency Tang Shao-yi), and he strongly urged that the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation should open a branch in Mukden. Mr. Gardner, an agent of that Bank, was in Mukden during my visit inquiring into prospects of business, and discussing the whole question with the Governor, but I gathered from him that, as the principal business of the Bank is exchange transactions, the absence of foreign merchants and direct trade with foreign countries offered little inducement to establish a branch anywhere in Manchuria. There are already two foreign banks in the city, the Russo-Chinese and the Yokohama Specie Banks, and the Chinese Government Hu Pu Bank, but their raison d'être would appear to be to lend money to Chinese merchants on profitable terms. A large provincial loan is the object in view, and large sums and securities have been talked over, but nothing definite has been arranged, and Mr. Gardner, who came back to Peking to report, has returned to Mukden to consult with the Viceroy and Governor.\n\nIn addition to the British Consul-General, there are now Consular representatives of Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States at Mukden. With the exception of the Russian Consul, who shares with the Japanese a Russian church inside the inner city, they live in the western suburb. Only four or five lots in the area set apart for a foreign Settlement between the railway and the city have been taken up, and the Governor informed me that he did not believe in Settlements, leaving me to infer that, so far as he was concerned, foreigners could live where they pleased. The British-American Tobacco Company is the only British firm with a British representative; Messrs. Butterfield and Swire employ a Chinese as agent for their Hong Kong sugars. There is one American merchant doing business on a small scale, and the representatives of German and other firms at Newchwang visit Mukden from time to time. Excluding the Yokohama Specie Bank, there are three large Japanese firms. According to the Japanese Consul-General, there are over 3,000 Japanese residents scattered through the city and suburbs, and their number is increasing every month. Japanese houses line a great part of the road leading from the station to the West Gate. Of course, there is the usual proportion of women, the singing girls, and waiting maids, while gambling-houses claim a considerable number. In one small room, I watched three men running a table something on the principle of roulette. The room was open to the street, and Chinese were betting on the colours on which three red balls about the size of cricket balls would rest after", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415811, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 506, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "**AFFAIRS OF CHINA.**\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\n[1044]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n503 0. 6160\n\nRECEIVED [January 31.] R 20 FEB 08\n\n## SECTION 1.\n\nSir,\n\n**Foreign Office to Board of Trade.**\n\nForeign Office, January 31, 1908.\n\nI am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you, to be laid before the Board of Trade, copies of correspondence, as marked in the margin,* relating to the proposed revision of the Regulations for the control of British launch traffic on the Canton and West Rivers.\n\nThis correspondence may be summarized as follows:-\n\nOn the 4th March, 1907, His Majesty's Minister at Peking forwarded a set of Rules drawn up by Mr. Mansfield, His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, for dealing with local difficulties connected with the launch traffic on the Canton and West Rivers.\n\nMr. Mansfield pointed out that Chinese launches on these waters were all heavily taxed for licences, &c., the amount paid by them being nearly 1,000 taels per annum, and some of them paid, besides, large sums for monopolies of certain sections of the waterways. Launches under foreign flags were, of course, exempt from these taxes, and were not bound to recognize any monopolies. Hence the native launches were heavily handicapped against their foreign competitors, and it followed that the protection of foreign flags was a greatly coveted boon.\n\nOf the forty-five registered British launches, twenty odd were registered as the property of C. T. Fisher, a half-caste British subject, who was also agent for ten more, the property of Companies in Hong Kong. A recent inquiry into a piracy case indicated a most unsatisfactory state of things. It appeared that Fisher was in the habit of chartering his launches to Chinese for a fixed monthly sum, and as long as the payment of this was forthcoming he took no further interest in the launch, the charterers engaging crew, paying for coal, and repairs, and deciding on the movements of the vessel. In fact, the charterer, for a fixed payment, acquired not only full control, but secured exemption from the native fees by use of the foreign flag. Mr. Mansfield said that his first impulse was to discountenance altogether the chartering of British launches to Chinese, but on reflection it appeared to him that the launches would merely be transferred to persons of other nationalities less scrupulous, and that the foreign-registered launches acted as some check on the rapacity of the Chinese officials, who could not tax them as they did native craft. He thought that by adopting more stringent Regulations in dealing with launches the difficulty might probably be avoided. With this object he submitted an amended form of certificate of British registry, and a set of proposed local Regulations.\n\nIn reply, Sir J. Jordan was informed that it was recognized that the question was in a very unsatisfactory condition, but that Mr. Mansfield's proposals, which were not altogether in harmony with certain provisions of the `Merchant Shipping Act of 1894`, such as that stipulating for registration of British ships at Shanghae, would not rescue it from that condition. It was therefore proposed to refer the whole question to Sir Havilland de Sausmarez, the Judge of the Supreme Court at Shanghae, with a view to the drafting of Rules in harmony with the existing English law.\n\nOn the 22nd November, 1907, Sir J. Jordan telegraphed the substance of certain correspondence which he had with the Commander-in-Chief on the China Station in regard to the prevention of piracy in Canton waters, which has been especially rampant recently.\n\nAs a result of an investigation held in view of a statement made by the Chinese Viceroy, it was ascertained that all the British-registered ships recently pirated, except the steam-ship `Sainam`, were really owned by Chinese subjects;\n\n* `Colonial Office, September 29, 1906`; `Sir J.

In October branch offices of the Company were established at Mukden, Changchun, Liaoyang, and other important places to take over the functions of these Settlers' Assemblies. Thus the development of local settlements is directly fostered, and we hope presently to mark in this direction progress proportionate to our hopes.\n\nAs to other enterprises, on the 1st July the Yamato Hotel was opened at Dairen, to be followed presently by similar establishments at Port Arthur, Mukden, Changchun, and other places, where preparations are being actively hastened.\n\nHospitals have also been founded, and work in connection with harbours and bays taken in hand.\n\nThen there are the Dairen wharves. These were taken over by the Company, an action which at the time caused some dissatisfaction, which has now, however, disappeared.\n\nThere still remain undertakings, some of which have been actually taken in hand; others are under investigation. Satisfactory progress is being made in all.\n\nTurning to the actual working of the various enterprises during the period under consideration, it will be found that the total receipts from all sources amount to over 5,002,000 yen (502,000l. circ.). Of this sum, 4,093,000 yen odd (409,300l. circ.) come from the railway, and 647,000 yen (64,700l. circ.) from mines.\n\nThe main line contributes 3,974,000 yen (397,400l. circ.), making a daily average per mile of 41·72 yen (41s. 3d. circ.) On the Mukden-Antung line the receipts came to 119,000 yen (11,900l. circ.), an average of 34·7 yen (7s. circ.) per mile per day. The daily average on the whole line amounts to 31·59 yen (31s. 3d. circ.) per diem. Disbursements on the main line total 2,423,000 yen (242,300l. circ.), on the Antung-Mukden, 333,000 yen (33,300l. circ.), thus making a daily average per mile on the main line of 25·45 yen (25s. 11d. circ.), on the Antung-Mukden line of 9·71 yen (19s. circ.).\n\nThe amount of coal taken from the Fushun mines during the period under review comes to 94,000 tons. If to this be added what was taken over at the time of the transfer, we get a gross total of 113,000 tons. The daily output, which at the moment of taking over was from 350 to 400 tons a-day, has now risen to over 600 tons. Mines receipts amount to 647,000 yen (64,700l. circ.), and expenditure to 348,000 yen (34,800l. circ.). To these sums should be added the receipts on other enterprises, shown in Appendix I. If we add them to the sums already given, we reach a grand total of over 5,002,000 yen (500,200l. circ.) receipts, and 4,073,000 yen (407,300l. circ.) expenditure. As will be noticed, it is the main line and the mines that are the great contributors to the Company's revenue, and it is they that have to make good our deficits on the Antung-Mukden line and other unprofitable enterprises.\n\nDebentures to the amount of 40,000,000 yen (4,000,000l. circ.), half of the 80,000,000 yen worth contemplated, were issued in London in July, after the financial conditions prevailing in Europe and America had been taken into consideration. The Crédit Mobilier of Japan, and the other institutions charged with the floating of these bonds, obtained the best terms possible.\n\nKwanchengisu Station.—By agreement Russia and Japan hold this station jointly, half of it having been handed over to Russia in return for 560,393 roubles paid by way of compensation. This money was handed over to the Yokohama Specie Bank Office in Shanghae, acting as the South Manchuria Railway Company's agents, by the Russo-Chinese Bank on the 23rd August last. As to the station itself, arrangements for linking up the two systems were made by agents appointed on each side. The result is a temporary Changchun station (called generally Hsi-Kwanchengtzu) where passengers and freight are shifted from one line to the other.\n\nCurrency. On the 1st of October last the Company changed its accounts from a silver to a gold basis, a proceeding which caused some comment where none was necessary. In acting thus the Company had no intention to run counter to any policy of the Government; it consulted simply its own convenience, taking into consideration the general state of the currency in Manchuria, and the fact that the number of gold yen in circulation had increased. Silver accounts were thus inconvenient. Silver money will, however, be taken by the Company in payment, though its rates are calculated in terms of gold.\n\nHsinmingtun.—The impression is that the connection of the Hsinmingtun-Mukden line with the Indo-Chinese railway system will mean the deflection of our profits. That is a mistaken view. Competition we must expect, but our accounts prove that the railway can take care of its own profits.\n\n1\n\n3\n\nRésumé of Report.\n\nGeneral Affairs.\n\nThe property invested in the Company by the Japanese Government as shares comprises the following items :-\n\n1. The Dairen-Changchun line, the Nankwaulin-Port Arthur line, the Tafangshen-Liushutun line, the Tashichiao-Yinkow line, the Entai-Entai Colliery line, the Suchiatun-Fushun line, and the Mukden-Antung line.\n\n2. The Fushun coal mines.\n\n3. All machinery, materials, &c., in use on the aforesaid lines at the time of their handing over, with the machinery, materials, &c., in use on the Mukden-Hsinmingtun line.\n\n4. All lands, buildings, and accessories of the railway inside or outside the leased territory, with all land, buildings, and accessories of the mines.\n\nMr. Z. Nakamura, having been appointed Chief Civil Administrator of the Kwantung Province on the 25th April, 1907, was on the same day relieved of his post as Vice-President of the South Manchuria Railway Company. On the 1st May, however, he was appointed Acting Vice-President.\n\nSimultaneously with taking over the other line of the railway, the Company received the branch line running from Mukden to Hsinmingtun. This remained in their possession till the 1st June, when, in accordance with the Agreement concluded between the Japanese and Chinese Governments on the subject of this line and the Changchun-Kirin line, it was handed back to the Chinese Government.\n\nOn the 19th July, 1907, debenture bonds amounting to 4,000,000l. in value were floated in London, under the guarantee of the Japanese Government.\n\nThe conditions were as follows:——\n\n1. Bonds of 100l. face value to be issued at 97%.\n\n2. Bonds to be redeemed in twenty-five years' time (irredeemable for the first ten years).\n\n3. Interest, payable on the 5th February and the 5th July each year, to be at the rate of 5 per cent.\n\n4. Bonds to be of the face values of 20l., 100l., 200l..\n\nThe station at Kwangchengtzu, with the line south of it, and the mines, &c., thereto attached, were handed over to the representative of the South Manchuria Railway on the 18th July, 1907, and the indemnity payable by Russia in connection with this station to Japan, in accordance with the Agreement signed at St. Petersburgh in June 1907, amounting to 560,393 roubles, was paid into the Shanghae branch of the Yokohama Specie Bank, acting as the Railway Company's agent, on the 23rd August, 1907, by the Russo-Chinese Bank.\n\nThe number of shareholders at the end of the period under review was 7,355, as compared with 9,056 at the end of the preceding period. This shows a decrease of 1,701.\n\nRailways.\n\n(a.) Laying of Track.\n\nMain Line. The first work begun was in June, when the Dairen station yard, the eastern wharf, and the filling up of the pond near the wharf, were taken in hand. Subsequently work was commenced on the line itself, the doubling of the track between Dairen and Suchiatun being undertaken as well as the broadening of the gauge.\n\nDoubling of the Track. The 238 m. 65 ch. under consideration were for this purpose divided into fifteen sections. Work is now in progress on eleven (178 m. 34 ch.).

Sir,\n\nPeking, March 28, 1908.\n\nWITH reference to Sir John Jordan's despatch No. 130, Confidential, of the 16th instant, in which he reported on the settlement of the \"Tatsu Maru\" incident, I have the honour to state that the Portuguese Legation in consequence have not taken, and do not intend to take, any further steps in the matter.\n\nThe Portuguese Chargé d'Affaires, under instructions from his Government, twice made protests in Peking, but no attention was paid to them by the Wai-wu Pu, and I gather that it is now considered best to say no more about the matter.\n\nI am informed by Admiral Moore that the spot at which the \"Tatsu Maru\" anchored was in waters which are considered outside the courtesy boundary, that is to say, in waters where vessels leaving Macao with opium would be searched, and, if found without a Chinese permit, would be detained.\n\nI have the honour to inclose copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton on the subject.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nSTEPHEN LEECH.\n\n(No. 9.)

Butterfield and Swire's consignment of coal now on board the above ship.\n\nAs, however, it now appears from the accounts in the press that the matter has become one of international importance, I will endeavour to put you in possession of the established facts of the case and the contention of the parties interested in it.\n\nThe following are the bare facts :-\n\nOn the 30th January the \"Tatsu Maru II\" sailed from Moji having on board 1,714 tons of coal under a part charter signed at Kobe by a Japanese agent \"by telegraphic authority from Butterfield and Swire.\" This part charter, which has been shown me, was merely to carry about 2,000 tons of coal from Moji to Hong Kong, \"with liberty to deviate for the purpose of saving life and property.\" The steamer, however, went direct to Macao, and anchored at a spot about 7 nautical miles from the Macao Lighthouse and about 2 miles off Koho Point, which is in the eastern extremity of the island, called in the chart Hobo Island, but known locally as Kwo Lu Wan.\n\nThe Chinese had been warned by a telegram that a shipment of arms was being made by the steamer, and on the 5th February she was boarded by Chinese gun-boats, accompanied by a launch belonging to the Imperial Maritime Customs of Lappa, and brought to Canton.\n\nThe Chinese contention is that the ship had committed a breach of the last paragraph of Article V of the Japanese Treaty of 1896; that she had on board 2,250 Mauser rifles and (I think) some 50,000 rounds of cartridges, and that her hatches were opened and derricks ready for discharging the arms in Chinese territory.\n\nThe Japanese contention, as far as I can gather, is that the arms were exported from Kobe to Macao under a proper Government permit; that the ship was duly cleared for Macao, and that she was as near to Macao as her draught of 23 feet permitted.\n\nIt is further averred that the Japanese flag was insulted by being hauled down after the seizure, the Chinese flag being substituted for it; that the seizure was made by order of, and by the employés\n\n[2921 aa-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416911, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 238, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "DRAFT\n\nHongkong\n\n28523\n\nBono 175\n\nGovernor Sir F Lugard\n\n7 Aug 1908\n\nMINUTE.\n\nIn a recent despatch you were requested that a draft convention (draft of the proposed Convention for the mutual protection of British and Japanese trademarks in China) might be sent to you for your view and for communicating to the British Commercial Agent at Peking with a view to ascertaining the opinion of the Chinese Government.\n\nMr. Stubbs\n\nMr. Just.\n\nMr. Antrobus,\n\nMr. Cox.\n\nSir C.

B. d'Erlanger, on the occasion of a recent call at the Foreign Office.\n\nWe now beg to inclose, for your information, copy of the letter which was addressed to the Chairman of our Company by Count Vitalis, the President of the Régie Générale de Chemins de Fer. Now that the French Government are no longer desirous of supporting the special arrangement referred to in your letter of the 11th instant, and which was given by you as the reason why it would not be possible for His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to give instructions to Sir John Jordan to support our agent, Lord ffrench, in making his substantive offer for the Canton-Hankow loan (as a British offer), we again most respectfully beg to ask that instructions be sent to Sir John Jordan to support us.\n\nWe are, &c. \nPauling and Co.

Jordan**\n\nPeking, March 28, 1909.\n\nWe have carefully perused your Excellency's Memorandum and Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King's letter regarding the proposals of the Canadian Government for restricting the immigration of Chinese labour into the Dominion, and note their desire to arrange with the Chinese Government for limiting the number of Chinese labourers entering Canada each year, and for rendering it obligatory even on Chinese of a higher class to hold passports.\n\nWe have the honour to observe, in reply, that the number of Chinese subjects who have entered Canada in recent years amounts to some thirty odd thousand. We understand the desire of the Canadian Government to be that China should herself limit the number of labourers by a system of passports, and that Canada would under those circumstances be willing to remove the present onerous capitation tax.\n\nWhile fully appreciating the friendly spirit manifested by these proposals, we have to bear in mind that this question affects the livelihood of Chinese subjects, and that its importance to us is therefore considerable. It is consequently impossible to come to a definite decision at short notice as to how the matter should be treated, and as we are now appointing a Consul-General for the Dominion, the best plan will, perhaps, be that he should go into the matter fully, and discuss it direct with the Canadian Government whenever an opportunity presents itself.\n\nMr. Mackenzie King's present visit to Peking cannot, we presume, be indefinitely prolonged, and we would suggest that he should return to Canada, and bring forward to the Chinese Consul-General any matter which he may have for discussion. The Consul-General will refer to this Board for instructions, and in view of the increasing cordiality in the good relations between China and Great Britain, and the consideration which the Canadian Government desires to show to Chinese subjects, we feel sure that it should be possible to accord to them most favourable treatment, and we profoundly hope that the capitation tax, and all other cruel and vexatious Ordinances, may be completely removed, as a token of benevolence to these immigrants and as a manifestation of justice.\n\nWe have the honour to request your Excellency to ask Mr. Mackenzie King to report to his Government in the above sense.\n\nWe avail, &c.\n\nDear Mr. Liang,\n\nPrince Ch'ing and Ministers of the Wai-wu Pu.\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\n**Mr. Mackenzie King to Liang Tun-yen**\n\nPeking, March 30, 1909.\n\nSIR JOHN JORDAN has shown me the despatch from the Wai-wu Pu in reference to the immigration matters we have been discussing together. I note that the Chinese Government desires to carefully consider the whole question before coming to a final decision, and I am therefore arranging, in accordance with its suggestion, to return to Canada, where, as the communication suggests, the matter may be taken up later on with the Chinese Consul-General at Ottawa.\n\nI should not like to leave Peking without expressing my appreciation of the cordial way in which you have received me as a Representative of the Government of Canada, and acknowledging with thanks, on behalf of the Government, the frank and thorough manner in which you have discussed the subject in its many bearings. I am fully sensible of what this has meant amid your many and onerous duties.\n\nI shall call at the Wai-wu Pu this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at which time I hope I may have opportunity of thanking you in person.\n\nBelieve me, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW.

Everything promised that at last the Syndicate was about to reap the reward of many years of perseverance. In December of last year, the Governor of Honan sent three deputies, being members of what is termed the Honan Bureau of Foreign Affairs, to discuss and settle with Mr. Brazier various minor points arising out of the original Agreement of `1898`. These points were practically all satisfactorily disposed of, and an Agreement in ten clauses was drawn up and signed. By clause 3 of this Agreement, the Syndicate undertook not to open depôts for the sale of coal in the interior in its own name nor in the name of its European sale agents. Mr. Brazier signed this, subject to the approval of the Board, and on assurance that no obstruction or impediment would be put in the way of native merchants buying direct from the mines. This assurance, verbal at first, has since been confirmed in writing by the signature of an additional clause to the Agreement in the following terms:-\n\n\"If native merchants wish to come to the mines to purchase coal, they are in no way to be interfered with; and, should such occur, local officials are to investigate and punish, and that the Governor is to be asked to order the local officials to issue notices to this effect.\"\n\nWhat has happened since to cause the Governor to go back on the Agreement signed by his own deputies, my Directors can only surmise, but the probability is that it is the result of local agitation fomented by officials and others interested in native mines. Reports of local opposition have recently reached my Directors from time to time, but as the Syndicate's officials have hitherto been on most cordial terms with all the local officials, and as we employ a large amount of native labour, we did not doubt but that the opposition would soon die out. But whatever the cause may be, the attitude now taken up by the Governor, and supported, it would appear, by the Wai-wu Pu, is contrary to the whole spirit of the Agreement, and would be absolutely fatal to the success of the Syndicate. The right to work coal necessarily implies the right to sell it, and the grant would be meaningless without such right. If the Chinese Government had intended to limit the Syndicate to such coal as we might export by sea or even sell at the Treaty ports, especially having regard to the fact that the mines are situated some 500 miles inland, they should have said so at the time, and it is submitted that it is too late now to raise the objection. Moreover, it is evident that this is a mere afterthought, because only so late as three weeks ago the Governor's own deputies signed the Agreement above mentioned, undertaking that all native merchants should be free to buy direct from the mines. My Directors respectfully submit that he must be held to this as final and conclusive.\n\nIt is unnecessary to labour the argument farther, but my Directors would remark that in the case of three other foreign Companies working coal in China, no restriction is put on the free sale of their produce to native dealers. One is the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, which my Directors are informed disposes of more than half its output to native buyers; another is a mine on the ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422469, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 498, "title": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## LỦNG KÔNG \n19289 \n493 \n**DOMESTIC** \nC 0. 19289 \nCECR The 10 JUN \n1 \n\n| Office or Individual | Foreign | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| | 1909 | 19th June |\n\n**ast Previous Paper** 19074 \n`-A. & E.

In the harbour were six battle-ships, four first-class cruisers, one other cruiser, and several torpedo-boats. Much satisfaction was expressed at its having been found possible to dock six battle-ships in two and a-half weeks. The amount of coal in stock was estimated at about 10,000 tons. An English steamer unloaded 3,000 tons of patent fuel from Cardiff during my visit. The new mine, some 50 versts from Vladivostock, is to be tried again, as nearly smokeless coal can be got from it.

Sir,**\n\nForeign Office, November 7, 1903.\n\nTHE Russian Ambassador, whom I had not seen since the 12th August, called on me this morning.\n\nHe told me that during his absence from this country he had had conversations with Count Lamsdorff as to Anglo-Russian relations at St. Petersburgh, earlier in the autumn, and again within the last few days at Paris. On the first occasion he had found Count Lamsdorff well disposed towards this country, and on the second his language was of an even more friendly character. Count Lamsdorff had instructed his Excellency to express his appreciation of our considerate and straightforward policy, particularly in so far as Macedonian affairs were concerned, and he admitted that although we had maintained our right to be critical our criticism had been neither unfair nor unfriendly. Count Lamsdorff felt strongly that it was of importance that an endeavour should be made to remove all sources of misunderstanding between the two Governments, and that there should be \"a change for the better\" in our relations. Count Benckendorff was therefore instructed to discuss frankly with me the various questions outstanding between Great Britain and Russia, with the object of arriving at an agreement as to the manner in which they should be dealt with. \"In the meantime, the Russian Government would be careful to avoid any action bearing the appearance of hostility to this country. Count Benckendorff had been told that he was to go back to St. Petersburgh early in the new year for the purpose of reporting the result of his discussions with His Majesty's Government.\n\nI expressed the pleasure which it gave me to learn Count Lamsdorff's views, and my readiness to contribute, so far as I was able, to such an understanding as has been suggested.\n\nI was the more pleased at the prospect which was thus opened for us, because I had been seriously concerned at the position into which the two Powers were apparently drifting. I should be wanting in frankness if I did not tell his Excellency that the attitude of the Russian Government in regard to the question of our relations with Afghanistan had created a most unpleasant impression in our minds.\n\nI pointed out to his Excellency that the Russian demand, which had originally been merely that Afghan and Russian officials should be allowed to communicate with one another in regard to purely local questions of a non-political character, had undergone a remarkable development, the latest Russian demand being apparently for a right of direct intercourse with Afghanistan upon questions of all kinds, whether political or not, and for the right to send Russian Agents into Afghanistan.\n\nCount Benckendorff here interrupted me by observing that the demand to send Agents into Afghanistan had been dropped, and that the proposal, thus limited, might form the subject of discussion between the two Governments. I said that I was glad to hear that the proposal to send Agents had been given up, but I reminded his Excellency that the last communication (that dated 6th October) which we had received from the Russian Government had closed the discussion in almost peremptory terms, so much so that I should have considered it inconsistent with my duty to reopen it. The action of the Russian Government, in refusing to allow a Russian officer to meet the British officer deputed to re-ereet the boundary pillars on the Afghan frontier, seemed to me entirely inconsistent with the alleged desire to maintain amicable relations with this country. The pillars had originally been set up by British and Russian officers acting together, and it was surely natural that their restoration should be effected in a similar manner. I could not understand how the Russian Government should have declined a friendly overture made in the circumstances which I had described.\n\nCount Benckendorff replied that the case was not one in which a new boundary was to be demarcated. All that was necessary was that certain posts which had fallen down should be set up again, and for this purpose it had not seemed necessary to resort to combined action.\n\nI said that I was unconvinced by this argument, and that the incident would certainly produce a very bad effect on public opinion in this country. Count Benckendorff made no real attempt to defend the Russian note, and said something to the effect that Count Lamsdorff was away at the time when it was written, and that some official of the Russian Foreign Office was the author of it.\n\nThe conversation then turned to the Far East.\n\n[1638]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422731, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 134, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## 34\n\nSinganfu to Hankow, and reach Shanghae in a month. An Englishman residing at Singanfu is at present in charge of the district. Unfortunately, there is too little business at Ninghsiafu to make the post-office pay its own way, and this argument is used as a reason against the opening of new offices.\n\nFew foreigners visit the town; among these few an occasional Russian merchant from Alashan may be seen. He finds a sale for cottons (coloured and plain), hardware, and cutlery. Except for some English cottons, the only goods not of Chinese manufacture which I noticed were Japanese—cheap looking-glasses, combs, coloured photos of singing girls, photo frames, matches, and towels. All supplies in the town are dear, and the inns even charge for the use of water for cooking and washing purposes.\n\nUnlike the country outside the walls, the city has never recovered from the Mahommedan rebellions, and much of the area inside the walls is either unbuilt on or covered with ruins. There are a few fine trees, and some of the streets have narrow streams of water flowing through them. The poverty of the town is probably entirely due to the universal opium smoking. The population is said to be under 5,000.\n\nThe chief trades are carpet and felt-making, for which Ninghsia has been famous for centuries. Wood shops are very numerous, and coffins, kang tables, and pails are turned out in great quantities. There is also a large straw hat industry. The oil used for lighting purposes is of local manufacture and growth (bean oil). The local tobacco is not good for cigarettes, and is only used for pipes, millions of cigarettes being imported from the coast to meet the growing demand for them. I was told that the Russian Agent from the Alashan shop sold 1,000 taels' (150l.) worth of goods this year in Ninghsia. The Chinese expressed a strong dislike of him. Coal is used for firing but is not plentiful. It is mined in the Alashan range, and is expensive, costing 5 cents a catty, as against 1 cent. in Tatungfu. The native banks in Ninghsia are good and reliable.\n\nThe Taotai is a kindly man and very courteous to foreigners. He has, however, little strength of character, and stands in considerable awe of the large Mahommedan population. Ninghsia is also the residence of a Chentai, or General, who is said to have 800 soldiers of the old \"brave\" standard under him. The large number of these probably exist only on paper.\n\nMay 25.—Arriving in Ninghsia in almost a penniless condition, I was obliged to take the humiliating step of appealing to the Taotai for assistance, which was readily given. I explained the full circumstances and the rascality of the camelman. The Taotai begged that I would not mention what he had done for me, as he did not wish to be obliged to do the same for every traveller, but I said I should not fail to bring his courteous action to the notice of His Majesty's Minister. A small official subsequently accompanied me on my return to Kweihuacheng, and the loan (97l.), 60 taels, was repaid there; as the state of the country is too unsettled to allow an official to travel with so large a sum with safety to himself, this officer, on the Taotai's instructions, bought carpets and other goods at Kweihuacheng to the amount of the loan.\n\n## Ninghsia to Alashan\n\nHearing in Ninghsiafu that a number of Russians had recently arrived in Alashan I considered it advisable to pay a rapid visit to the capital of the Prince of the country.\n\nThe Chinese official at Ninghsia insisted on sending a small escort—a captain and three soldiers—with me.\n\nAs there were said to be inns along the road the tents and most of the baggage were left behind at Ninghsia.\n\nLeaving the town by the west gate we maintained a westerly course across the plain toward the Alashian range. The number of farms is even greater, if possible, this side of the city than between the river and the town and one and all are surrounded by fine trees and richly cultivated fields. Not only were no ruins visible but many new farm-houses were being built besides several temples. The road is deflected by the many small irrigation canals which are eventually crossed by wooden bridges in a fairly good state of repair. After travelling some 6 miles we reached Hsincheng, the annex to Ninghsiafu, which corresponded to Hsincheng, the annex to Kweihuacheng. This town, which is walled and has four gates, is reserved for Manchu residence. Five hundred soldiers are said to be quartered here and to be of the new type. The Manchu governor lives in the centre of the town; the population is small and the area inside the walls is by no means all built on. Entering by the east gate we left again by the north gate and continued in a north-westerly direction, passing half a-mile later a delightful garden where the high official has a summer retreat. Shortly afterwards the belt of trees abruptly comes to an end and the road runs straight across an uncultivated, uninhabited country with no trees or scrub growing anywhere.\n\nThe day had been burning hot with no mitigating breeze and it was a pleasure to stroll over the iris-strewn ground and enjoy the evening air heavy with the scent of fragrant trees and flowers which was wafted right across the plain from the belt of cultivation. It was a pleasure which Chinese etiquette did not allow me to enjoy long, for so long as I walked the escort had to do the same, and a petition was soon sent me to ride again.\n\nPassing the ruins of an old Chinese town, the capital of a former kingdom, the lines of the mud walls of which can still be traced with some difficulty, we reached—18 miles from Ninghsiafu—the small village of Changpeipo, with a moderate inn. The inhabitants were all enjoying their evening opium after the long day's work and were mostly stupefied with it, the inn resembling indeed an opium den.\n\nChangpeipo is a small, mud-walled village resembling a fort, and the ruins of another hard by show that there have always been people here, probably to protect the entrance to the pass over the Alashan range. A sergeant and four men form a garrison.\n\n## 35\n\nMay 27.—The sergeant conceived it his duty to send an extra man to show the road into the mountains.\n\nLeaving in a west-north-westerly direction we kept over bleak, barren ground, level at first but then gradually sloping up to the magnificent range. The road is good for carts until it approaches the mountains, when it becomes excessively stony, especially where two dry torrent beds are crossed. There are no trees or habitations on the plain, but occasional temples may be sighted nestling among a few trees at the very foot of the mountains. Three hours' marching brought us to the small, miserable hamlet of Shíkon, situated among trees in the entrance to the pass. Here a small brook issues from the mountains and, though only one and a-half feet wide, has abundance of water in it.\n\nThe Captain who is in charge of the escort gets as pay 6 taels (19s. 6d.) a-month; of this sum practically nothing is squeezed. He has to provide everything himself, including clothes, uniform, and boots, and gets no rations. A Captain at a place like Huamachi, which we passed some days ago, gets some 100 taels (15l.) a-month, but then he has a yamên and can \"make\" money. A plain soldier here gets 1 tael (3s.) a-month and miserable rations. On joining, a rifle and a pony are provided for him.\n\nThe rifles are old German pattern, marked \"Spandau,\" and are single cartridge. There is never any inspection of arms, and these are in consequence as dirty as they can possibly be.\n\nI was assured that all the soldiers at Ninghsia are supplied with the same pattern of rifle. The ammunition is kept in a large open case from which anybody can take as much as they like when they care to do so. They never have any rifle practice. For the journey to Alashan and back the Captain carried eighty rounds wrapped up in his bedding.\n\nChinese administration ends at the foot of the mountains, and we now entered the kingdom of Alashan.\n\nAscending the pass for some 4 miles, we halted for the night at Changsze, a solitary inn in the gully.\n\nThe pass is stony and strewn with boulders. It is impassable for carts, and even camels find great difficulty in making their way along. The gully is never more than 100 yards wide, and rarely, indeed, more than 80 yards. Steep, rugged mountains close it in on either side; these are almost unscalable; they are inexpressibly grand, and at times assume wonderful shapes. The pass winds a good deal, but the general direction is west-north-west. There is no traffic down it, with the exception of an occasional pedlar and a few donkeys labouring down with long fir logs bumping down fastened to their sides.\n\nA little vegetation grows on the mountains, but there are no trees or shrubs except in the gully; here yellow roses, white hawthorn, and a yellow gorse grew to no great height, while the ground is dotted with a small prickly plant which grows a few inches high and bears small pink and white bell-shaped flowers. Irises and the flower of the wild bean are also to be seen. There are few birds in the gully, but the voice of the cuckoo may be heard at times and the ubiquitous magpie sighted. At Changsze the hills become for a short distance a little less impregnable. The inn accommodation is of the scantiest and there are no supplies.\n\nMay 28.—Continuing north-west up the stony path the ascent becomes gradually", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422735, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 138, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## \n\n136 \n\n1 \n\nrises gradually. A branch of the mountains sweeps round towards the south. \n\nThe top of the pass was reached about mile 17, and the descent was as easy as the ascent had been. At mile 23 (from Yoba) the hills became lower and we emerged to open ground at the bleak Chinese hamlet of Kowmensze, where there was a good inn. \n\n## June 1\n\nThe people in the hamlet are in some distress. They rely on the sale of their sheepskins and wool to a foreign firm at Ninghsia, who have not sent their agent here this year as usual. We left in a north-east direction over bleak and stony ground. \n\nWe made a slight halt at noon at the small scattered hamlet of Pingchiapan, once a large village, as the old walls which stand close by show, but most of which is now in ruins. When we continued the march the change in scenery was marvellous, instead of brown all was green and strewn with irises, the wild bean flower, red and yellow gorse and anemones. This lasted until a belt of sand dunes was reached, which in its turn lasted right up to the belt of trees which makes the Ninghsia plain so famous. There is no cultivation nor are there any houses until the tree belt is reached. \n\nPassing the populous Mahommedan village of Schwangchügöl we reached Hsincheng again, and a couple of hours later re-entered Ninghsiafu. \n\n## Strip of Kansu along River north of Ninghsia\n\nThe Ninghsia Government also includes the strip of land lying between the Alashan range and the Yellow River for some 60 miles, this strip of land is at first some 25 miles wide and narrows down to some 2 miles. Formerly belonging to the Kingdom of Alashan it was at one time or another ceded to the Chinese, by whom it is now entirely populated. Its limit to the west is the foot of the range. The country is like that immediately round Ninghsia, well timbered, irrigated and fertile. Opium is as much cultivated as round Ninghsia. The district comprises numerous villages and one large town, Pinglobsien, \n\n## Ninghsia to Schischuisze\n\nLeaving the city by the north gate we kept in a north-north-easterly direction across the plain by an excellent level road, which wound about considerably to avoid the small canals. Sometimes one of these had burst into the main road; to attempt to go through the water was fatal, for the camels stuck deep in the mud up to their bellies, and had to be unloaded before they could be extricated. The country was delightfully timbered, and for the most part under cultivation. At mile 7 the conspicuous north pagoda outside the city walls was half a mile to our left. At mile 11 we passed the small village of Hsiaopanpu, which was followed at mile 14 by the large fortress farm of Wangchiapu. At mile 19 we halted at the large flourishing, mud-walled village of Lichangpu. At mile 24 we reached the district town of Pinglohsien and stopped for the night. Here we had some difficulty in inducing the gateman to open for us. There was another difficulty 200 yards before the gate was reached, for on a stone bridge across a canal a sentry was stationed at night. This man was of so nervous a temperament that he was shooting indiscriminately at anyone he heard approaching on the chance that he might be a robber. \n\nThe town of Pingho has a busy appearance, and seems in a flourishing state, but the inns are poor and the water execrable. \n\n## June 4\n\nOur camels being in an exhausted state the Taotai of Ninghsia had lent us a couple of ponies as well. These were to be changed at Pingho for two fresh ones, and the magistrate was very obliging in the matter. The garrison of Pingho consists of a captain and fifty-five soldiers, but they only do escort work. They have only a few rifles between them, and those of very old pattern. Their uniform is very peculiar and they wear what head dress they like. As many of them at this season of the year choose the flopping straw hat they look very unsoldierlike. My escort were practically in rags and looked more like tramps than soldiers. Their pay is one measure of wheat and 1 tael (3s.) a-month. \n\nOur direction being north we left the town by the north gate. There were a number of sand drifts just outside the walls, but curiously enough there was no other indication of sand, and the country was entirely under cultivation and well-irrigated. \n\nWe halted at the busy straggling village of Hwang si chow to change horses again. Here a Lieutenant and two soldiers, only for escort work, are stationed. The village has good inns, supplies are cheap and plentiful, the water is good and the place wears a prosperous air. The village consists chiefly of one long street about a mile long, through which the high road runs. At the entrance at either end the street is purposely crooked to prevent the passage of evil influences. A great deal of coal dust was on sale in the street; this is brought from the mountains close by and is extremely cheap. The Lieutenant acted in accordance with Chinese custom in order to obtain transport for us and commandeered a large quantity of animals; all the owners, save a couple or so, can then redeem their animals for a few cents, and avoid a longish march thereby. A more iniquitous system of procuring transport can hardly be imagined, but the Chinese are so accustomed to it that complaints seem to be unusual. \n\nTurning at once to the left, on leaving the town (to have kept straight on would have brought us to the banks of the Yellow River at Paofeng, from which place the countless irrigation canals would have prevented us marching in the right direction), we reached the village of Shayinsze, a mile beyond which there is a Roman Catholic mission station. Here we had the Alashan Mountains little more than 2 miles away to our left. The mission compound is unusually small; it is surrounded by a low mud wall, which could only serve as a protection against animals and ordinary thieves. The European priest being absent we continued the march, to halt for the night at a large farm called Chiu errh pa, a mile farther on. We passed two arrangements to-day in connection with the irrigation canals, which were of interest. One was a deep broad canal (at present dry) designed to carry off in time of flood the surplus water, back to the river directly the water reaches a certain height. The other was the measure taken in the opposite case, i.e., to bring the water to the higher lying fields in time of scarcity. A wooden construction 12 feet long and 1 foot broad with a wheel at either end, is placed in the entrance of the dry canal, and water is pushed up this from the full canal, in which one end of the instrument is placed. The rest of the entrance of the dry canal is choked up with earth, on which men sit and turn a handle which sets in motion some twenty paddles, which, revolving round the two wheels, drives the water up the canal. \n\n## June 5\n\nI only learnt to-day that the Lieutenant made some 6s. yesterday over the pony levy. The same system prevails at Peking, where if the Government require 10 carts, 100 are commandeered, and 90 owners redeem their property by paying so much, not to the Government, but to the dishonest Government servants. \n\nThe system is rotten and leads to perpetual abuses. \n\nLittle more than two hours marching over level ground brought us to Schischuisze, on the Yellow River. This name means the crossing of roads, and here the road crosses the river into the principality of Ottok, one of the Ordos tribes. The village looks poor and lifeless. It was evidently once much larger as is proved by numberless ruins, and also by the fact that the gate is now 300 yards from the village, the intervening land being covered with ruins. The inns are good as also is the water, and there is plenty of transport. The village should be thriving, it has plenty of coal in the mountains at its very gates, and lies on the river where there should be plenty of traffic; but being in China, practically no coal is mined nor is there any river traffic of any importance. \n\nIt is at Schischuisze, that boats are obtainable for Bantu. We saw some twenty of these tied to the banks; they are the same as are used for ferry work both here and near Ninghsia. A canvas can be arched over the centre of the boat if necessary. The boatman ask some 60 taels for the journey to Bautu (9l.), but the proper price seems to be between 40 and 60 taels (6l. to 9l.). The journey takes from five to ten days according to the wind. For the return journey the boats are hauled by five or six trackers. The boatmen are almost all Mahommedans, and said to be great robbers, nothing being safe in the neighbourhood of where they spend the night. On the east side the bank rises steeply from the water's edge, the Arbusula Mountains running parallel to the river, and gradually increasing in height from what is at first insignificance. On the west side, the Alashan on the other hand, dwindle from magnificence to nothing. \n\n## The Alashan Yellow River Strip\n\nThis strip lies on the left bank of the river, and extends from Schischuisze to the kingdom of the Orots, that is to say round the bend which the river makes to the east after flowing northwards past Ninghsiatu. On the west this strip is bordered by the Alashan Mountains. At the north end of the range the district becomes considerably broader; it is bounded on the north by the Mountains of Mongolia. Here it is several hundred miles wide, while in the south (i.e., between the Alashan and the river) it is never more than a few miles in width.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422771, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 174, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## 172 \n## 114 \n\nIt appears that there was a family feud of long standing. The official was warned by his friends that the Governor meditated his ruin. They urged him to fight, but he did not think that his Excellency dared execute a Government official. His Excellency, however, wrote to the Tartar General at Ili that this official was planning a revolt among his Mahommedan friends; he asked leave to arrest the culprit and for instructions as to punishment. Before the reply came, the official was arrested and beheaded. Subsequently, the Tartar General wrote giving instructions for execution. The Governor then seized all the property of the victim and turned his four wives and children literally into the streets. This vindictive action has irritated and terrified the Mahommedans.\n\nHis Excellency told me that until the creation of the settlement at Sharasumé, all the country up to the Altaishan had formed part of the Chuguchak administration. The Tourgout Prince comes to Chuguchak every year to the Emperor's birthday festivities in order to kowtow to the Imperial authorities.\n\nOn leaving the yamên, I went to call on the Russian Consulate and found that the Consul, Sokoff, was going on leave in two days' time, and that Loutchitch, whom I had met as junior assistant at Urga, was already in charge. The Russians say that Chuguchak is a dull place with good shooting and riding and plenty of work among the many Russian subjects (mostly Kirghiz); as when any one of these crosses the frontier (only 6 miles away) on any business whatever, he has to get the Consulate visa to his papers, the mass of daily work can be understood. One of the cases between the Consulate and the yamên at present is that of a Russian Hassack who, a couple of years ago, robbed and murdered three Chinese in different localities. The Chinese merchants say that there is no such thing as justice where the guilty are Russian subjects, and that they are sent to the frontier fortress of Bakhti, kept in prison for a couple of days and then released, while the Consulate state that they have died in prison. In conversation with M. Sokoff, he told me that the Governor was unscrupulous, but a \"bonhomme.\" Sokoff asked me about the colony at Altaishan, and how many soldiers there were now there. I replied readily to this question, because the Russian Consul at Uliassutai had himself given me the figure which I had subsequently verified. I made, however, no mention of the guns. The Consul spoke very slightingly of the Amban at Sharasumé, and was very bitter as regards his general attitude. Sokoff urged me to come and stay at the Consulate while I was at Chuguchak, but as I had already declined the Governor's offer of a room at the yamên, I equally refused the Russian hospitality.\n\nI lunched, however, at the Consulate, and visited the Russo-Chinese Bank in the afternoon. The manager speaks no European language except Russian. The branch is run from Barnaul. The manager told me that all their business is done with Russian subjects, and that they have practically none with Chinese. This is due to the fact that they find it impossible to collect Chinese debts as no guarantee is possible. The manager said that they have one bad debt of 1,500 roubles which has been outstanding for two years.\n\nDuring the day, the Governor sent me a present of two sheep, two ducks, two chickens, one sack of flour, and another of rice, all of which I returned. The following prices are interesting:-\n\n| Item | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| A sheep | 3 taels |\n| A pony | 40 taels |\n| Flour | 3 cents a catty |\n| Rice | 124 cents a catty |\n\nI dined at the Consulate in the evening, and met Korotkoff, the Russian Consul-General at Urumtsi, who is returning to his post from leave. He is accompanied by his wife and two children and governess as well as personal servants. A guard of ten Cossacks were escorting them to Urumtsi, but I do not know whether these men had already formed part of the Consulate guard or whether they were additional. All three Consuls, Sokoff, Loutchitch, and Korotkoff speak French fluently.\n\nI asked Korotkoff about the newspaper articles headed \"**A journey in Chinese Turkestan**,\" which had appeared during 1907 in the `North China Daily News`. The articles were written by Mr. Hans Doring, sub-agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, during a journey in the winter of 1905-6. Korotkoff said there was a mass of untruth or imagination in them. He spoke very sarcastically about them, and one of the reasons for this is as follows:- The journey was a simple one along the Imperial high-road, and the descriptions of the travelling were unreliable, vague, and full of mistakes. No one knows this better than the Russians, who have travelled over all these districts. The absurdity and ignorance of the following extract from the preface to the articles naturally therefore excited irritation among the Russians: \"The region is a little known one, and the journal is a valuable contribution to the scant knowledge, geographical and otherwise, possessed by the outside world of these comparatively speaking, unexplored regions.\" I asked Korotkoff especially about the passage: \"If the Shanghai papers speak about the unrest in Sinkiang, they are not wrong.\" He thought it mischievous.\n\nThe following story shows the dangers of the streets of a town in Chinese Turkestan at night.\n\nAfter dining at the Consulate, I returned to the inn late. This was a third of a mile from the Consulate and situated in a street closed at night by high wooden gates. It was after midnight and a pitch-dark night. The gates were shut and locked, and I had a difficult 25 feet climb, during which I knocked down a good portion of mud wall and expected to be picked off every minute by a zealous sentry. I had to drop into the street among howling dogs and with not a soul about. At night, the streets are given over to the dogs, who reign supreme and resent all intrusion. Followed by barking dogs snapping at me and having a hundred more to face, I thought it best to attack a small house in which there was a light in order to get a stick. The inhabitants were terrified, and refused to open, so there was nothing to be done except to burst the door open, while the inmates screamed \"thieves.\" The door open, I was confronted by a frightened man whirling a heavy stick. As he was too scared to attempt to understand me, I made another attempt to face the dogs, but was driven back on the house. By that time, the owners had recovered a little, and one man consented to accompany me down the street, but even with the assistance of his stick, we had great difficulty in advancing. Close to the door of the inn, we ran into two night-watchmen who first wanted to club and then arrest me.\n\n## October 1\nThe Governor called in the morning and was very amiable. A salute of three guns announced his departure from the yamên, and his visit was accompanied by all possible pomp and splendour. Some thirty soldiers dressed in red, and scarlet, and orange lined the inn yard on either side, carrying ancient pikes, halberts, and scythes. His Excellency himself came in a brilliant cart, and the officer who assisted him to alight knelt as he descended. His Excellency was dressed in the most beautiful silks and was loaded with chains of beads of wood and priceless jade. He was kind enough to invite me to dine with him, but I declined as best I could. He then expressed the hope that I would call on him in two days' time before his own departure for the country for a tour which his Excellency is making in order to see what land is good enough for growing more wheat. I asked him about minerals, and his Excellency said coal had been recently found in the mountains. He was also going there to see for himself what it was like. The wood burnt in the yamên is brought from the gully in the mountains down which we descended on the 26th September.\n\nOn the Governor's departure, I hired a cart for 20 cents and drove to the telegraph office to see if an urgent telegram addressed to Peking and handed in yesterday at 7 P.M. had been dispatched.\n\nThe open carts used in Chuguchak are heavy but well-built and capable of carrying a great quantity of baggage. They cost 40 taels if new. There are four telegraph clerks, all of whom, I understood, know a little Russian. There were only two in the office while I was there, both were heavy opium smokers, one so sodden that he was still sleeping off the effects at mid-day and was fuddled with it for a long time when woken up.\n\nHe spoke a very little English but could read it. I asked him whether he had sent my telegram, and he hunted about among some books and at last found it. It had not gone and would go to-day. He said that being marked \"very urgent,\" it would be very expensive. I commented strongly on the fact that it had reached him at 7 P.M. yesterday, that he knew it to be very urgent, and yet had not even sent it off by mid-day to-day. He said it should go at once, and I made him sit down and send it in my presence.\n\nThe next station is Shihu; from there it is forwarded to Urumtsi, Turfan, Hami, Suchow, and Lanchow, thence to Peking. As the telegram had to pass through so many offices, the chances of its reaching Peking under two days were small in spite of the fact that it was marked \"very urgent\" and paid for at that rate. The clerk said that the proper time for one to get through was eight hours. He was so ashamed of himself, however, that he added several urgents on his own account, and the telegram got through in record time. The clerk admitted to very little work; they had, he said, about as many sheets per day to do as there were then in the office to be done, i.e., ten sheets, mostly Chinese Government work, some of it having just arrived from Altaishan to be telegraphed. There was no attempt at privacy about the work. People dropped in and read my telegram and those of the Government as they pleased. I commented later to the Russians about the bureau, and they said the office was practically... \n\n## 115", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423186, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 589, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## 5 \n\n## 587 \n\nYanglin (see Intelligence Report, March quarter) has been again revived, and it is now suggested that a commencement should be made in the autumn. I do not think that anything in this direction will be done this year.\n\nThe proposed Chinese railway from Yunnan-fu into Szechuan has been the subject of common talk. A Swiss engineer, M. Meister, is, I hear, on the point of being engaged by the Provincial Railway Board, for what purpose I do not yet know. M. Meister was formerly engineer-in-charge of the Namti or first section of the French railway in Yünnan. M. Meister, in conversation with me, was disposed to be very sanguine that this Chinese line would be shortly taken in hand, and attributed a keen anxiety to the Chinese for rail connection with Szechuan so as to be independent of the French Yunnan Railway. I am informed by a subordinate in the Provincial Railway Board Office that 700,000 taels ($81,000) in cash and promises represents the total railway fund for Yunnan at the present time. Several mule loads of share certificates printed in Japan arrived in May last, but there has been no demand for them. The official opinion at Yunnan-fu appears to be pessimistic in regard to this line.\n\nIt is persistently reported that two American railway engineers have been engaged for work on the Yunnan-Szechuan line. Dr. Mazzolani, who has opportunities of hearing things denied to me, tells me that an American engineer has been engaged as adviser to the Provincial Board, and will arrive here in the autumn. The Administrator of Foreign Affairs, Shih Tseng, however, has declared on more than one occasion, both to the French consul and myself, that the Provincial Railway Board have not engaged any foreigners.\n\n**(b.) Commercial Summary**\n\nForeign Firms at Yünnan-fu.--The foreign firms established at Yünnan-fu, four in number, are all French, viz., L'Union commerciale indo-chinoise, Messrs. Charrière and Co., Messrs. Barbage, and Messrs. Pasquier and Co. The first named has a new manager, M. Lallier. The former manager resigned in disgust at the lack of interest taken in the Yunnan business by head-quarters. He told me two or three stories which appeared amazing, and revealed the extraordinary apathy of the head office at Hanoi. One was that he had obtained a contract for the supply of a large quantity of steel to the arsenal, and had telegraphed for a quotation price. The price given was so low that he had demanded a repetition. The second telegram confirmed the first. His comprador proceeded to settle the contract with the arsenal authorities, when a letter was received from Hanoi pointing out that a mistake had been made in the telegraphic quotation, and giving a very much higher figure. The firm refused to abide by the comprador's agreement, and the latter was compelled to \"square\" before he could get the contract cancelled. He left the firm. Another instance was the supply of uniforms for the soldiers in Yünnan. The local agent was offered the contract at the same price as was paid last year. The head office demanded a higher rate, and the contract was accepted at the lower figure by Pasquier and Co., who are agents for the German firm of Speidel and Co. I had occasion to complain to the local agent of Messrs. Charrière and Co. of the non-arrival of some electric bells ordered two months previously and promised within a month, and I cancelled the order. The agent (a Frenchman) told me he was exceedingly glad of this opportunity to be able to write a strong letter to his firm at Hanoi, and he proceeded to pour out his woes. His tale, if true, showed an astounding side of French commercial enterprise in Yünnan.\n\nMessrs. Barbage have obtained a contract for the electric lighting of the Normal College, but I understand that the firm is living a good deal on hopes. Messrs. Pasquier are interested in silk and general commission business. They have an agreement with Messrs. Speidel, a German firm at Hanoi, to sell only goods supplied by that firm.\n\nChinese Merchants gloomy.--There have been no new developments of trade, and Chinese merchants are very gloomy as to the future.\n\nCheap Food.--Food for man and beast still remains at abnormally low prices, and the prospects for a good rice harvest are favourable. The common people and the soldiers at Yunnan-fu are taking largely to wheat flour (5 lbs. for a penny) as an auxiliary to rice diet. Small hand flour mills would, I think, find a ready sale.\n\n**(c.) Army**\n\nRecruits.--The newly-enrolled recruits are being drilled. The material (Yunnan) is not as good as the Szechuan or Cantonese soldier, either in physique or intelligence. The Chinese officers declare, however, that they prefer the Yunnan man, as he is more amenable to discipline.\n\nDisease.--Venereal disease is very prevalent in the ranks. It has been proposed to establish brothels under official supervision for soldiers and civilians. The proposal has been favourably received in official quarters, but I understand that no definite steps have yet been taken. A moderate estimate of the number of public prostitutes at Yunnan-fu is 3,000, and I am assured by the European doctors that they consider that a large proportion of these are diseased. The arms referred to in my last intelligence report have been arriving at intervals during the quarter.\n\nIncrease of Military Forces.--It is stated that Li Ching-hsi has obtained the advance of 2,000,000 taels for military expenses, and the promise of an annual subvention of 260,000 taels. This money is to be employed in the equipment of 12,000 additional troops. The number of foreign armed and drilled men will thus be increased to 24,000.\n\n**(d.) Relations with Chinese Officials**\n\nThese have been satisfactory.\n\n**(e.) Movements of Chinese Officials**\n\nChin-shu-sheng, the titular prefect of Yunnan-fu, returned from Peking in April last, and was shortly afterwards sent to Ssumao as acting taotai. The post is not considered to be a lucrative one. Mr. Chin was at Tengyuch during the issue of the anti-missionary placards (`P.C., No. 39 of 1908`).\n\n**(f.) Movements of Foreign Officials**\n\nDeparture of French vice-consul.--M. Soulié, interpreter of the French consulates left Yunnan-fu and has been replaced by M. Crépin, formerly at Mengtse.\n\nVisit of Mr. Coggin Brown.--Mr. Coggin Brown, of the Geological Survey of India, passed through Yunnan-fu in May. He was very well received by the high officials here, and the governor-general invited him to dinner. During his stay, he made the acquaintance of Liu-bsiao-tsu Taotai, in charge of mining interests, and advised him as to the location of a coal mine in the neighbourhood. Liu Taotai has now taken steps to develop this mine, and has expressed his gratitude for Mr. Coggin Brown's expert advice. The latter was careful in his conversation with the officials to convey the impression that he was investigating the geology and mines in Yünnan from a purely scientific point of view. He reports that he has received no sort of hindrance, official or private, in his travels. I do not doubt that this was very largely due to the tactful manner in which his investigations have been conducted.\n\n**(g.) Reforms**\n\nAt the invitation of the literary chancellor, I examined three of the classes of the Faug Yen College in English subjects. The average age of the students is about 20, although they range from 15 to 25. Eight hours a week are devoted to the study of the English, French, and Japanese languages, but there are separate classes for each of these. The school hours, which struck me as too long, are occupied also with Chinese literature, geography, arithmetic, history, and drawing. The teachers are none of them Yunnan men and are imperfectly understood, and although they know the text-books, the standard of the scholars was not high, although one or two among them were exceptionally intelligent. Making due allowance for the short time the college had been opened--14 months--I gave an encouraging report. I spent an interesting day at the school, and was entertained to lunch by the literary chancellor and the teaching staff. The governor-general appeared to have been greatly pleased with the result of the visit, and the literary chancellor has asked me to hold an examination at the Normal College at a later date.\n\nThe Normal College contains about 600 students, and has room for 1,000. The numbers indicate that in years to come the province will possess a number of disappointed schoolmasters--a somewhat dangerous class for Yunnan, where there is little or no scope for other employment for these men. The annual cost of the Normal College is 60,000 taels ($7,000). The cost of the electric-light installation is to be partly met by the stoppage of light allowance to the students, 1 tael (2s. 4d.) a-head monthly.\n\nIn May last, I visited the new prison erected by Hsi Liang at a cost of 80,000 taels ($9,260). At present, it holds 200 male and 23 female prisoners.

For some reason or other the Chinese are working in many ways with them in this undertaking.\n\nWhen I was in Tien-tsin, the general manager of the Company, with whom I was discussing the situation, showed me his letter file in connection with a certain transaction which well illustrates the above statement. It appears that the Tien-tsin-Pukoe Railway northern section required 30,000 tons of coal to be delivered along the canal for burning bricks for the use of the road. The Company tendered 6 dol. 70 c. per ton delivered. The German-Chinese Ching Ching Mines tendered 5 dol. 50 c., and their contract was accepted. The Chinese in their official letter to the Company, which I saw, stated that they had accepted the higher offer as the coal was 25 per cent. better value.\n\nHe states that the coal is mined in the same geological field, and that the shafts are practically sunk on the Company's fields. He submitted samples of both coals for analysis. The report stated that both samples were practically the same, but there was a very slight advantage in favour of the Company's product. It is reported, moreover, that the Chinese are giving the German-Chinese combination favoured rights on the railway, and are carrying their coals over the same route for cheaper rates than the British company.\n\nHere in Shanghae upon my return I find considerable controversy on the subject of the supplies of railway material for the southern railways which are under the British influence. Tenders were asked for locomotives, and it was subsequently stated that only tenders for German locomotives would be received. One manufacturer's agent discovered that the advertised specifications for an engine required that it must be German built, in the works of the firm for which Carlowitz and Co. are the agents. The advertised specifications turned out to be Carlowitz and Co.'s own tender. Finally, after much opposition, the Chinese announced that British specifications might also be put in. It is confidently reported that at the moment the tenders were opened the engine being tendered for was actually through the Canal at Suez, en route to Shanghae, and that the asking for tenders and opening of the same was bluff pure and simple to conceal a transaction already completed.\n\nAnother curious phase of the situation seems to be that the Germans are able to obtain contracts where the British fail. Several instances have come to my knowledge where the Germans have tendered in opposition to the British and in order to get the business promise anything the Chinese wish and more than the British dare to do as to output and terms, their object being to get the contract by hook or by crook and put their own interpretation upon it afterwards. The Germans take their chances when the works are complete of being able to get their money, whether the work is according to contract or otherwise. They seem to be backed up by their officials regardless of the conditions of the contract. There are two or three cases now being fought out where the Chinese appear determined that they will not accept anything the Germans like to give them. In the end they are likely to succumb to the German view. This method of doing business would seem under ordinary circumstances to bring its own punishment, but so far Germans do not seem to suffer from a loss of orders as a consequence.\n\nDiscussing this question recently with some British residents they said they were satisfied that the Germans by the use of money made it worth while for many of these contracts to be settled quietly. You will perhaps be led to say upon the above that the two positions are mutually destructive, that if the Germans are forcing the Chinese to pay for contracts only partially carried out that this should lead to a suspicion of German methods, and that it is difficult to account for the fact that in the face of this state of affairs the Chinese are content to work with them as against the British. All I can say is that this is a country of anomalies. It is certain that some of the British disputes over the railway loans have left bad feeling and some orders have been given to Germans or anybody other than British out of pure spite.\n\nIn conclusion, there is no doubt that Chinese thoughts and methods are rapidly changing, though there is the same dishonesty and the same hatred of the foreigner. They have lost their fear of the foreigner, whose prestige has been largely reduced. The Chinaman is learning that it is comparatively safe to take his own line of interpretation of any contracts entered into much as the Germans as instanced above. I feel sure that a great deal of the supposed commercial integrity and honesty of the Chinaman which has been so much written about, and which has just been repeated in the Earl of Ronaldshay's recent book has been very much exaggerated. The Chinaman stood by his contract with the foreigners because he was afraid of them. All along he has repudiated with his own countrymen the contracts that do not suit him when he saw any chance of getting out of them. Foreign traders in Shanghae have found in hosts of instances that Chinese contracts are exceedingly dangerous things to enter into. Under present conditions of the country it is doubtful how far a Chinaman can be held to the carrying out of the terms of his contract, if he finds it to his advantage to shirk.\n\nOn my visit to Peking this last occasion a high British official confirmed this opinion, and stated that whereas in previous years the word of a Chinese official when it has once been passed could be relied upon, now all that is changed and no promise can be trusted. He agreed with me that a very great change has come over the Chinese people and officials in their relations to foreigners.\n\nGiven favourable conditions with an enlightened Government setting trade free in the Empire a magnificent prosperity awaits both the foreign and Chinese merchants and manufacturers. The great problem is how to get the conditions mentioned above into working order. A faithful adherence to the provisions of the treaties would help materially, but this has long since been given up as a vain hope.\n\nPage 636", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423714, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 318, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "## SECTION 2.\n\n317\n\nBrought forward | H.P. | FL.P. | Taels. | 101,161.02\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government]\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\n`REP Rec° 17 FC 09`\n\n[November 29.]\n\nFrom which must be deducted-\nInterest on loan accrued and paid by the Chinese Government-\n| Date | Amount | Exchange | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| June 30, 1907 | | | 19,895 0 0 |\n| December 31, 1907 | | | 19,895 0 0 |\n| June 30, 1908 | | | 19,895 0 0 |\n| December 31, 1908 | | | 19,895 0 0 |\n| June 30, 1909 | | | 19,895 0 0 |\n| Total | | | 99,475 0 0 |\n| | 795,800-00 Tien-tsin taels at 101 | | 787,920-79 |\n| | | | 686,759-77 |\n\nThe amount of 686,759'77 H.P. taels represents the net loss to the Chinese Government on the working of the Tao-Ching Railway from the commencement of operation, viz., the 1st July, 1905, to the 30th June, 1909, which amount, at 101, equals 693,627-37 Tien-tsin taels, and, taken at the arbitrary rate of 2s. 6d. to the £, equals £86,703. 8s. 5d.\n\nBy way of general remarks I may add that, with the working of coal at the syndicate's mines, railway receipts commenced to improve, and when the freight rolling stock is increased the figures will still further improve; but it is doubtful whether this short 90-mile line can ever flourish to any great degree.

Our magazines, periodicals, and daily press teem with news: historical and philosophical articles, relating to the war. The eyes of the world are turned steadfastly on Europe. Neutral as well as belligerent have been drawn to or into the vortex. This writer tells us that the chief cause of the war was the ever-increasing thirst of France to avenge the theft of Alsace and Lorraine in 1871; another sets forth the deep-seated purpose of the Russian Bear to sun himself in peace at Constantinople; again we read that the war blood of Alaric has been boiling for years in the arteries of the kaiser and the German people that they would cross the Alps and annex Italy—would absorb the puny Balkan states and Turkey in their onward march into Asia and a world empire!\n\nAnd the supersensitive Englishman says he could not suffer the brutal betrayal of Belgian neutrality. England has presented her \"white papers\" to the world, wherein she sets forth her diplomatic correspondence just prior to the outbreak of the war, and whereby she would prove how she struggled for peace; Germany offers her \"white papers\" for the same purpose.\n\n### EXCUSES AND APOLOGIES\n\nThese and many similar excuses, apologies, and \"inevitable causes\" flood neutral countries, appealing for their moral support. Every student of history knows that these \"causes\" are for the most part puerile, superficial, temporary expedients. As boys and girls, we were taught in school that slavery was the cause of our Civil War, and it took us many years to learn that aristocracy and democracy, climate and soil, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, the invention of the cotton-gin, the tariff, the acquisition of new territory, were the real fundamental causes of the war, which the match of slavery ignited.\n\nThe unbiased historian of the future will develop the real causes of the present war in Europe, and when he does, he will lay the burden of blame at the door of England. While England has long since abandoned the doctrine of the divine right of kings, she has never for a moment abandoned the doctrine that \"might makes right,\" and that under \"this buckler of the people's cause,\" she has been divinely appointed to gobble the earth and the fullness thereof. Justifying her greed under this specious plea or that, she has crept into first one nation and then another like a thief in the night, till today she rules one-fifth of the habitable globe—and boasts that the sun never sets upon her domains.\n\nBy what right? By the right of craft, cunning, greed, and violence. England has been the road hog, the commercial pirate, the homestead jumper of the world, for the last 400 years. And now, like every successful burglar, after looting the world and planting her batteries at every strategic point, she holds up her hands, reeking with the blood of every people under the sun, and rolls her hypocritical eyes to heaven and prays, \"Let us have peace!\" With a naval power twice that of Germany, she pleads with the kaiser to limit his armaments! Why? Simply that she may be mistress of the seas, the world's policeman—that she may enjoy her ill-gotten gains without fear of a righteous vengeance. Who says the English have no sense of humor?\n\n## ENGLAND'S POLICY\n\nA running glance at English history proves these statements ad nauseam. She went into India, the garden of the world, by craft, then with the bayonet, and finally with opium in one hand and the Bible in the other. Dreamy India soothed her captivity with the fumes of the drug but repudiated the Bible that came with the sword. From 1774, when Warren Hastings began his nefarious spoliation of India, the natives suffered their subjection to English rule till 1857, when came the Sepoy mutiny, at the close of which these enlightened Christian rulers lashed the leading Sepoys with their backs across the mouths of English cannon and blew them into the orthodox hell of \"Merrie Old England.\" After 140 years of civil and military administration in India, what has England to show the world? The cradle of the human race, the womb of the world's religions, has been given over to spoliation and abortion to fill the coffers of Threadneedle Street.\n\nIn 1704, Sir George Rooke, with \"unscrupulous patriotism,\" stole the rock of Gibraltar, after Charles III had fairly won it. Greedy England, quickly realizing that it was the key to all the Mediterranean states, \"was both unprincipled enough to sanction and ratify the occupation, and ungrateful enough to leave unrewarded the general,\" who by his perfidy and treachery had seized it.\n\nWhen Said Pasha, viceroy of Egypt, had granted a concession to De Lesseps to dig the Suez Canal, and he had begun that great work, who schemed, connived, and plotted to hinder, delay, and block the undertaking? Who brought pressure to bear on the Sublime Porte of Turkey not to give his consent to the construction of the canal? Who inveigled the native labor away from the work and then rejoiced that \"poor De Lesseps must go to the wall?\" Who voted in parliament \"that the power and influence of the country should be employed in obliging the sultan to withhold his consent?\" England, always England! And when, in spite of all obstacles and treachery, the canal was constructed, who gobbled it? England!\n\n### \"CUNNING PHILANTHROPY\"\n\nWho then came forward with cunning philanthropy and loaned money to Egypt? And who then ostensibly sent her troops into Egypt to collect these loans, but in reality to possess and keep this ancient granary of the world, and thus still further strengthen her rights in the Suez Canal? England! England, the buccaneer of the seas, the spoiler of nations.\n\nForeigners, principally British foreigners, between 1880 and 1900, who had come into South Africa, were not satisfied with the rights of burghership, the laws governing the right of franchise. The country of the Dutch republics had been reclaimed from wild beasts and still wilder men. The Boers had fought their way, mile by mile, into the trackless veldt, the rugged mountains, and had carved out homes and a government for a peace-loving, contented people. They justly resented the foreign influx and the demands which would give the absolute control of their national life. Consequently, in 1896, Cecil Rhodes, the English premier of the Cape, sent Dr. Jamieson, with his mounted English police, on that despicable raid into the Transvaal.\n\nIt failed. The civilized world condemned the raid as an outrage, yet England left Cecil Rhodes unpunished, still allowed him his seat in the privy council, and continued his chartered company.\n\nFour years later, without just cause or right, inspired only by greed of gold and lust of empire, she marched an army of her mighty realms against this unoffending, peace-loving, contented, and industrious people, sacked and burned their homes, devastated their fields, and razed their towns, waged a bitter and cruel war against Boer forces, in whose ranks stood grizzled burghers, gray-haired women, and children, fighting for their homes, their liberty, and their native land. When Lord Roberts raised the British flag in Pretoria, he but drove another nail into the coffin of the English empire.\n\nAnd so we might speak of her treatment of Denmark in 1801 and 1807; of the treachery of her much-lauded Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, who was dancing at Brussels while good old Blucher was forming his little army to meet the onslaught of Napoleon; or how, with direct and characteristic brutality, she attacked China in the \"Opium War,\" that she might get plenty of this drug to lull her subjects in India to sleep, and how finally, with her land and naval forces, she wrested Hong Kong from China and forced Canton, Amoy, Shanghai, Fuchow, and Ningpo to do business with the English East India Company, or its successor, the English government.\n\n### \"STIRRING UP OF STRIFE\"\n\nTo whatsoever part of the world we turn, we witness the same measureless treachery and violence, the stirring up of strife, that during the squabble, melee, or war, England may walk in and gobble some coveted prize.\n\nO'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nThe whole civilized world should indict this British imperialism that has stalked rampant through every weak nation of the globe, trampling upon native religions, customs, culture, and patriotism, with an insatiate greed for gold and a lust for empire.\n\nShe has been tried in the balance and found wanting in her colonies and dependencies. For years, there has been evidence of their earnest desire to throw off her galling yoke. The recent troubles in Ireland, the present uprisings of the Boers, are but fitting illustrations that predict the future. Her thick-headed \"governmental classes,\" her arrogant, greedy, unsympathetic ministers, will eventually alienate her dependencies, as her Norths and Granvilles alienated her American colonies and drove them into rebellion.\n\nThe present war in Europe is, in the last analysis, a war between Germany and England. The issues which Russia and France have thrown into the struggle are trivial when compared with the fundamental actuating causes between Germany and England.\n\nCooped up in a territory smaller than the state of Texas are 60,000,000 Germans. Hemmed in by the Baltic and North seas, the plains of Poland, the mountains on her southern and eastern borders, and by Belgium and the Netherlands on the west, this mighty nation, conscious of its power, its wealth, its wonderful strides in the arts and sciences, industrial and agricultural pursuits, yearly pulsating with ever-increasing pressure against its borders, from the teeming, swelling life within, descended from an empire that ruled Western Europe before England and France had put on their national swaddling clothes—this nation can see no just cause why England should possess one-fifth of the habitable globe, while Germany suffers with growing pains within her limited confines.\n\nEngland wrested from Holland, Spain, and France, in turn, the mastery of the seas and commercial supremacy. A new nation now challenges that supremacy, and therein lies the basic cause of the present war, with its roots running far back into European history.\n\nIn this deep-seated and far-reaching antagonism, England comes to the United States begging, pleading for our moral support. She has sent her financier, Sir George Paish, to hobnob with Wall Street. She has deputized some of her most able writers to come to this country and pen columns of fulsome flattery about the American people—their mighty power, inexhaustible wealth, wonderful individuality, high-power progression, and even hinting at our culture and refinement. Shall we yield to Caesar the things that belong to God? If England is entitled to our moral support, then there is a moral obligation on our part to render it.\n\nMorals are traditional, practical, idealistic. \"Blood is thicker than water.\" \"The Anglo-Saxon nations are bound by a common speech, common customs, ethical and political aspirations to stand together,\" says the idealistic moralist. But nations ever have been and ever will be, while human nature remains as it is, actuated rather by traditional and practical morality. Measured by this latter standard, is England entitled to our moral support? Her oppression and tyranny toward our colonies from the founding of Jamestown to the cooping up of Cornwallis at Yorktown by the French and Americans; her impressment of American citizens into her naval service that led to the War of 1812; her evil wishes, treacherous machinations, subscriptions to Confederate loans, hostile speeches in parliament, building of the Alabama and other ironclads which were fitted out in her harbors and sent forth to prey upon and destroy the ships of the loyal citizens of this country, after she had declared her neutrality in our Civil War; her bold attempt to filch from us this very state of Washington; her constant sneers, cynicism, taunts, and insults, not only to our form of government and our laws but to anything and everything American, that have appeared in the books of her authors and in her daily press, ever since our Civil War down to the breaking out of the present European War—these and many similar acts on the part of England toward this country answer the question whether traditional and practical morality calls upon us now to give her our moral support.\n\nIs it for the benefit of humanity, for our own moral and material benefit, that we ethically uphold the hands of this robber of nations, that she may be strengthened in her grasp upon one-fifth of the habitable globe? Her orators, exhorting a decadent nation to arms, have already begun to cast lots over the spoils of war. Alsace and Lorraine are to be given to France; Russia is, perhaps, to be strengthened in the Balkans on her way to Constantinople; the naval forces of the kaiser are to be wiped off the seas; Belgium is to be reimbursed and rehabilitated as an outside guard for England's southern shore; and the German people are to be relegated to a quiet, pastoral life, with the privilege of exporting their few products in British bottoms!\n\nWe have wisely proclaimed our neutrality in the present war. Let us keep it in good faith and not in treachery, as did England her neutrality in our Civil War. Our people are conglomerate, and naturally, some sympathize with one nation, some with another, but we are all Americans, and loyalty to our own country, loyalty to humanity, forbids that we give moral support to that nation which is seeking to crush Germany—to that nation whose whole history in dealing with other nations smells to heaven of craft, greed, and violence—to that nation who fought us with mercenaries and is now summoning her satraps, her heathen hordes, to the slaughter of the German people, one of the foremost products of modern civilization.\n\n## A SAD CASE\n\nSamuel A. Greeley of Chicago has suffered a serious loss. He will not get the job from the Manila city government nor the P350 a week and all his expenses paid for telling the local garbage wagon drivers whether they are doing their work properly.\n\nIt is indeed a sad case, but why in the name of Sam Hill could he not have been made some kind of an assistant director of the bureau of agriculture? Is this bureau really loaded up with junk and unable to take on more? Where will they put Census Expert Col. Johnston if the legislature fails to pass the necessary appropriation for census work? Really, it is very bad.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n| Company/Organization | Advertisement |\n| --- | --- |\n| Philippine Islands Telephone and Telegraph Company | It is impossible to enumerate the great convenience of the telephone in the home.

On appeal, and during this inflammation of popular feeling, in which the M.P. openly used intimidatory language towards the courts, the decision of the court below was sustained.\n\nThere was now a conflict of the decisions, and the Sikhs desired to carry the case to the Privy Council, and offered to put up half a million dollars bail for the production of the men confined on the Komagata Maru. They wanted their exact status in the Empire properly settled. At every turn they were defeated. At this time one of the Hindus who had gone to Ottawa at great personal trouble and expense, to lay the case before the Dominion Government, asked for an impartial investigation of the whole case. He had interviews with the Minister of the Interior and the Premier, but as a matter of course was passed on to a minor official of the Department. Exclusion at all hazards to the Empire was announced by the local politicians as the policy of the Dominion Government.\n\nHere is the story of the Komagata Maru, as given by a well-known Canadian lady, Mrs. Anna Ross:-\n\n\"One would think that the decent way for the authorities to act toward these men on the Komagata Maru, who had so accommodated themselves to the Canadian rule, would be to receive them politely, and to deal with each case fairly and squarely according to law, passing those eligible, and rejecting non-eligibles. Then if the will of the Canadian people was still for shutting the door, to do so by straight statute, 'No Hindu need apply.' After that there would at least be no misunderstanding or disappointments.\n\nBut these men who had accommodated themselves to the Canadian rule, who at a cost to themselves of nearly $57,000.00 had come by one continuous route, who now politely asked admission as British subjects and expected it, received instead indignity after indignity. It is almost inconceivable the lengths to which official insolence went in the treatment of these strong, proud, independent men. They were not allowed to set foot on shore at all. They were not allowed to communicate with the Sikhs on shore at all. They were not allowed to communicate with their own lawyer. Even when their case for admission was in court, their lawyer, Mr. Bird, was not allowed a personal interview with any of them, so that he was conducting their case in the dark. After the case was decided under these circumstances against them, Mr. Bird was allowed to visit them, and discovered that very important elements in the case he had not understood at all, and had not presented. If this is Canadian justice, it is not British justice.\n\n\"When the case had been decided against them, they expressed their willingness to leave, only requesting that they should be supplied with provisions for the return voyage. Immigration authorities refused provisions, but tried to compel the captain of the ship to sail at once. Though they had been unnecessarily delayed by the authorities for six weeks; these officials endeavored to force them to commence their long voyage without provisions. This roused the man and the soldier in these Sikhs, and they prevented the captain from obeying. A hundred and seventy-five policemen and the stream from a fire-hose only roused them the more. They beat back the policemen with fire-bricks and lumps of coal. Then in the dignity of her might, Canada ordered the cruiser 'Rainbow' to proceed alongside the Komagata Maru' and compel submission. By this time the inhuman attempt to send 350 men across the Pacific starving had been abandoned, and offers of abundant provisions were made. But by this time the fighting blood of the Sikhs was up. They knew they had been barbarously treated by representatives of the Canadian Government, and they were resolved to put no trust in any offers now made to them, but just to fight and die, if need be.\n\n\"That was the position Canada found herself in July 22nd, 1914. The guns of the 'Rainbow' were trained on the little 'Komagata Maru.' The Sikhs on board her had used timber to construct barricades, and the blacksmiths among them were working at fever heat making swords and pikes.\n\nThe Government then in extremity sought the good offices of the Sikhs on shore, and though they had refused to allow them intercourse with the men on the 'Komagata Maru' before, they were now glad to have a deputation of shore Sikhs endeavor to convince them that the Government this time was really acting in good faith, to accept the offers of provisions, and leave. They were finally successful, and the little ship sailed away.\n\n\"It is a sad story. It is a shameful story. They could at least have been treated courteously and given a chance to plead their own cause fairly, even if the law had refused them admission in the end.\"\n\nIt may be well to mention here that the degradation of British prestige by demagoguery assuming the functions of authority, was made shamefully apparent to other nations. During the trouble several Japanese cruisers appeared, and the politicians appealed to Ottawa to request that foreign crews should board a vessel in a British harbor, subdue by arms British passengers, and forcibly escort them across the ocean. What transpired in this connection, we know not, but the whole thing is so singular that I am sometimes tempted to think that only an Oriental mind can grasp the effect produced on the shrewd, diplomatic Japanese nation of this attempt on the part of our esteemed friends, the politicians. I am sure I shall be forgiven for calling attention to this matter, for my excuse is that native-born members of the Empire in Asia, have a stake in its standing among the Asiatic peoples, even though in British Columbia, neither education, nor property, nor medals won by valor for the Empire, can procure a Hindu a vote, though two Hindus have sat in the Imperial House of Commons.\n\nOf the plight of the men on board the Komagata Maru, their enforced confinement within a vessel for months, and the inevitable effect of the news in India, I do not now speak. But it is not to be denied that politicians and their minions usurped the essential authority of the law, and caused British subjects on a vessel in a British harbor to be treated as none have been treated with impunity within sight of a British shore, since the slave trade was suppressed.\n\nIn this connection it is well to mention here that the Government had passed an order-in-council prohibiting the entry to British Columbia of immigrants of the laboring classes. They knew very well if European immigrants were to come to British Columbia they would not try to enter it through B.C. ports, but by ports on the Atlantic coast. In all legislation there is a principle of equity and justice, and laws have to be made in such a way that people can, under ordinary circumstances, fulfil them. Whilst the Komagata Maru was lying off Vancouver harbor, the British subjects on board her had the mortification of seeing over five hundred Chinamen land without a hindrance raised. I make no invidious comparison between them and my own countrymen, but will quote from the exclusionist Victoria, B.C., Times' account of the Komagata Maru passengers on the day of their arrival:-\n\n| Description | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Appearance | The men were lined along the bulwarks of the forward and after wells. They presented a very brilliant spectacle as the many different colored turbans moved quickly and silently about. |\n| Attire | The men were dressed in various colors. There were some in complete European outfits, others wearing riding breeches and helmets, numbers with Mohammedan red caps pressed tightly down on their thick black hair, still others in native costumes, and a few wearing Khaki uniforms, which they had used when serving in the army. |\n| Background | The majority of the men have served in the British army, and they are a tall and handsome lot. They seem superior to the class of Hindus which have already come to this province. They stand very erect and move with an alert action. All their suits were well pressed and their turbans spotlessly clean. The most of them know a little of the English language, and some of them converse in it remarkably well. Of the 376 who comprise the party, but 21 have been in Canada before. In the party are students, merchants... in fact represent every class in India. |\n\nAs showing the spirit which governed the treatment of these men in the name of the Canadian people, I may quote further:-\n\n\"This morning a party of local Hindus left here in a launch and attempted to go alongside the Komagata Maru. Rev. Mr. Hall was in the craft. Their intentions were not stated. The patrol boat overhauled the intruders, and a severe reprimand was given them by Dr. Milne, the immigration agent. None of the Hindus is desirous of making his escape. They all wish to go through with the matter in a perfectly open manner.\n\nMrs. Elizabeth Ross Grace last summer wrote regarding the Sikhs to a church paper, \"Your last issue referring to the Komagata Maru incident, says: 'Gurdit Singh can now write: Veni, vidi, non vici—almost Cæsar.' Permit me to say that it is a deep and disturbing conviction that he can quote Cæsar exactly. He got what he wanted. Those whom he cared represented nothing for the poor men who hoped to enter the fair Dominion. But they did want to force Canada to a clearly defined position.\n\nThus far Canada has contented herself with indirect methods of exclusion. None of the three Orders-in-Council which discriminate against the Hindu mention him. But they accomplish the work of exclusion just the same. Now, however, Canada has come out plainly with troops and warship. The time-expired soldiers in the ship's company were given indisputable evidence of the lengths Canada would go to keep them out. Why tarry longer. He got what he came for. Imperial and Christian considerations alike should have made this affair impossible. But there was dominant the little Canada spirit. It is splendid now, to come to the aid of the Motherland. Our brave men and our ship loads of flour mean much in this hour of need. But it would mean vastly more to the Empire if the Komagata Maru incident could be obliterated. Instead, it is a living, growing, disintegrating force.\n\n\"But they (the Hindus) are declared undesirable—a cruelly suggestive description, because positive, yet vague. It seems strange that the Government of British Columbia is... \n## Page 8\n## Page 9 \n620", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 462488, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-434 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [7-8]", "page_number": 277, "title": "CO129-434 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [7-8]", "content_text": "## Col Office Can Agent \n\nin Allanson's Hill.

King Chulalonkorn's education, commenced under an English governess, and completed by personal study, on the spot, of the methods of government obtaining in India and the Netherlands Indies, fostered in him the conviction that the position of Siam could only be rendered secure by a complete reform of the government on Western lines, and the adoption of a comprehensive programme of development under State supervision. The result has been an era of reform continuing to the present day, affecting in turn every institution of the country, and greatly improving the condition of the people. The present King, who received his foreign education at Oxford, is a most cultured gentleman with strong British sympathies, and may be expected to carry on the good work commenced by his father. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that British assistance should have been invoked in the reform of the various departments of State. Competent European advisers of all nationalities were engaged for the various offices, and of these British officials, seconded by the home and Indian Governments, were in a large majority. At the present time the administration of Finance, Justice, Education, Customs, Agriculture and Immigration, Mines, Forests, Police, and the Registration of Companies and Trade Marks is carried out with the advice and under the supervision of expert British officials. It is noteworthy that, in the main, British advisers should have been chosen for those departments which control the economic development of the country, and there is little doubt that their whole-hearted and single-minded devotion to their duties has also reacted to the advancement of British mercantile interests in Siam. British influence, in this respect, is likely to be maintained after the war. The last outstanding political differences were settled by the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, whereby Siam handed over to Great Britain her rights in the Malay States of Kelantan, Trengannu, and Kedah in return for a modification of British extra-territorial rights in Siam. The future will probably witness the steady development of the economic resources of the country, and the extension of its sea-borne commerce, and, provided that enterprise and foresight are exercised, there would appear to be no reason why Great Britain should not only maintain but improve her position as the leading foreign power in Siam.\n\nIn the mercantile sphere British interests have been fortunate in having, on the spot, branches of some of the greatest and strongest of British trading corporations in the Far East, many of them closely associated with the development of British Burma, and attracted to Siam by the similarity of the products of the two countries, notably rice and teak. These houses have their headquarters at Bangkok, the capital of the country, and the port through which, virtually, the whole of the foreign trade passes. In view of the fact that these merchant houses control the British trade with the country, and any extension of British enterprise after the war rests largely in their hands, it is considered desirable to append a brief description of their respective activities.\n\nThe Borneo Company, Ltd.--The Borneo Company, Ltd., with headquarters at 28, Fenchurch Street, E.C., and branches at Singapore, Batavia and Sourabaya, were established in Bangkok in 1856, and are the leading firm of general merchants in the port. Although a portion of their work is in connection with general imports, exports, shipping and insurance, their attention is devoted principally to rice and teak. They operate a rice mill and teak sawmills, and hold forest concessions in Northern Siam. They are agents for the P. and O., Blue Funnel, N.Y.K., and the other leading British steamship and insurance companies, and for the Asiatic and Anglo-Saxon petroleum companies, who possess oil tanks in Bangkok for the storage of kerosene and liquid fuel. The Borneo Company, Ltd., are also Lloyd's agents, and are the largest coal suppliers in the port.\n\nThe Arracan Co., Ltd., of 575, Old Broad Street, E.C., and branches at Rangoon, Akyab, Bassein, Moulmein and Calcutta, established a branch at Bangkok some thirty years ago in order to develop the Siamese rice trade in addition to their existing trade in Burmese rice. The firm possess one of the largest rice mills on the Menam, and head the list as the most important shippers of rice from Siam. They also hold agencies for fire insurance and shipping, and are of first-rate standing.\n\nThe Bombay-Burmah Trading Corporation, Ltd., with their head office at Bombay, and branches at Rangoon, Moulmein, Oost Java, and Batavia, practically confine their attentions to teak. They operate large timber concessions in the interior, and are among the first three shippers of teak from Bangkok. They also hold shipping and insurance agencies, but their import business is negligible.\n\n1.\n\n35\n\nThe Siam Forest Co., Ltd., have their head office at 2, Fenchurch Avenue, E.C., and branches at many up-country stations in Siam. This company own very large forest concessions in Northern Siam. From these, the logs are floated down the rivers to their sawmills, are here prepared and fashioned, and are exported mainly to India, United Kingdom and the Continent. Apart from their interests in the timber trade, the firm conduct a general business as import and export merchants, importing chiefly piece goods, gunny bags, hardware, machinery and coal, and exporting rice, hides, pepper, sticklac and other native products. They also hold shipping, insurance and mining agencies.\n\nMessrs. Denny, Mott & Dickson, Ltd., of 14, Fenchurch Street, E.C., are principally concerned with the timber trade, and operate a modern sawmill at Bangkok. They specialise on the high-class conversions required by shipbuilders and rolling-stock constructors. In addition, a general import business in both hardware and piece goods has been conducted for some years.\n\nMessrs. Steel Bros. & Co., Ltd., of 6, Fenchurch Avenue, E.C., and branches at Rangoon, Moulmein, Akyab, Bassein and Mandalay, opened their Bangkok office in 1907, and confine their attentions to the export of rice to Europe.\n\nMessrs. Syme & Co.--This well-known Eastern firm with its headquarters under the style of Ker, Bolton & Co., at 7, East India Avenue, E.C., and 22, West George Street, Glasgow, has the following branches in the Far East:-\n\nPhilippine Islands: Messrs. Ker & Co., Manila, Iloilo and Cebu. Java: Messrs. Pitcairn, Syme & Co., Batavia, Sourabaya and Samarang. Straits Settlements: Messrs. Syme & Co., Singapore.\n\nThe Bangkok branch has been opened quite recently, and the firm are paying particular attention to the development of an import business, particularly in piece goods and sundries. Their first-class financial standing, and wide knowledge of the requirements of the trade, should enable them to develop the import business successfully. They are also desirous of obtaining shipping, insurance and general agencies, and can be strongly recommended to British manufacturers desirous of extending their trade with Siam.\n\nIn the engineering import trade, British interests are well represented, and this is largely accountable for the fact that 50 per cent. of the iron, steel and machinery imported into Bangkok is drawn from British sources. The rice and teak mills; slipways, docks and repair shops on the Menam; Government railways; and the lighting, tramway and other electrical enterprises in Bangkok absorb increasing quantities of material and machinery, to supply which the following British firms of engineers are established:\n\nThe Siam Engineering Co., Ltd., Bangkok.--This firm specialises on work for the Government departments, and has executed many large contracts for electrical, irrigation and other plants. They act as agents for several well-known British manufacturers, including Tangyes, Ltd., Babcock and Wilcox, Ltd., and Glenfield and Kennedy.\n\nMessrs. J. H. Macarthur & Co., Ltd., are well-known importers of iron, steel and machinery, and also build steam and motor launches, for which they hold the agency for \"Kelvin\" engines.\n\nThe Bangkok Dock Co., Ltd., operate docks, slipways and repair shops on the Menam. Their activities embrace civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, and they have recently opened a large motor garage, in conjunction with which they are now building motor launches. The company has a large staff of trained engineers, and acts as agent for such well-known companies as the General Electric Co., Ltd., Loudon, Ruston Proctor & Co., Ltd., the Pulsometer Pump Co., George Angus & Co., Ltd., Newcastle, and Stephenson, Brown & Co., Glasgow.\n\nMessrs. A. J. Corbett & Co. are in charge of the Siamese interests of Messrs. A. and J. Main, and have secured valuable orders for steel buildings and also bridge work for the State railways.\n\nThe United Engineers, Ltd., are successors to Messrs. Howarth, Erskine, Ltd., the well-known Eastern engineering contractors, who have had a branch at Bangkok for many years, and have constructed some of the most important buildings and bridges in the capital. A large European staff is maintained, and the company is prepared to tender for all kinds of engineering work.\n\nIn addition to the large mercantile and engineering firms, local agencies are maintained by the British-American Tobacco Co., Ltd., whose cigarettes are widely...\n\nE 2\n\n614", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 475089, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917", "page_number": 86, "title": "CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917", "content_text": "Agency of the\n\nHONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION\n\nSan Francisco, Calif.\n\n3718\n\nNovember 24th 1916.\n\nREC\n\nMessrs.

The hire shall cease from the time the steamer is available for drydocking at the port of drydocking until she is again placed at the disposal of the Admiralty at that port, ready to load and/or bunker and efficient for further service, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., but not on Sundays or public holidays nor after 1 p.m. on Saturdays, unless steamer sail or work be begun meantime.\n\nIn calculating the period off pay under this clause, an allowance of 48 running hours without stoppage of hire shall be granted in respect of each drydocking.\n\n10. If there is any misrepresentation as regards steamer's size, capabilities, and position, or if steamer has not arrived at the port of delivery or is not ready to load by or on the date specified, the Admiralty have the option of cancelling this Charter.\n\n11. Payment of Hire shall be made in England as follows:--\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for two months certain or more, one calendar month's hire in advance on the steamer entering into pay, half a month's hire at the end of the second month, half a month's hire at the end of the third month, and one month's further hire at the end of each succeeding completed month of service.\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for less than two months, the advance of hire to be made on the steamer entering into pay shall be for two-thirds of the hire for the period certain, such advance in no case to exceed the amount of one calendar month's hire, and the remaining payments shall be made as laid down above.\n\nIn all cases, such payments shall be considered as payments on account, and the balance of hire shall be paid on the passing in Office of the accounts, &c., to be rendered by the steamer, and on receipt of the Logs for the period (vide clause 24).\n\nPeriods off pay, and periods less than one calendar month at the expiration of this Charter shall be reckoned in days.

The Admiralty shall be liable for all coal, or other fuel, except fuel for galley and Electric Light, and shall accept and pay for all fuel in steamer's bunkers at the time of delivery.\n\nThe Owners shall on entry into pay hand to the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port a certificate signed by the Master and Chief Engineer of the number of tons of fuel in the bunkers of the steamer, and its description.\n\nOn the expiration of the Charter, the Owners shall pay the Admiralty for all the fuel left in the bunkers.\n\nBoth such payments shall be made at the current market price at the respective ports.\n\n15.

All pilotage certificates must show the draft of water.\n\n16. When Great Britain is at peace, the Officers, Engineers, and every member of the Crew shall be British subjects. When Great Britain is at war, this stipulation is to be carried out so far as practicable, but in any case, Master, Officers, and Engineers must be British subjects, and members of the hostile nationality are to be excluded. At least one of the officers or men must be able to use the flashing lantern.\n\nA full list of the Crew with their rating and nationality shall be produced on the entry into pay of the steamer.\n\n17. The steamer shall work day and night if required, and the steam winches shall be at the service of the Admiralty by day and night with full steam when and as required. The same shall be worked free of cost by the Crew, which must contain efficient skilled hands to work all the winches on board at once in one shift. The Admiralty will repay overtime under such conditions as may be from time to time authorised.\n\n18. The Admiralty shall not be held liable if the steamer shall be lost, wrecked, driven on shore, injured, or rendered incapable of service by or in consequence of dangers of the sea or tempest, collision, fire, accident, stress of weather, or any other cause arising as a sea risk.\n\n19. The risks of war which are taken by the Admiralty are those risks which would be excluded from an ordinary English policy of marine insurance by the following, or similar, but not more extensive clause: -\n\n\"Warranted free of capture, seizure, and detention and the consequences thereof, or of any attempt thereat, piracy excepted, and also from all consequences of hostilities or warlike operations, whether before or after declaration of war.\"\n\nSuch risks are taken by the Admiralty on the ascertained value of the steamer, if she be totally lost, at the time of such loss, or, if she be injured, on the ascertained value of such injury.\n\nShould a dispute arise as to the value of the steamer, the same shall be settled as laid down in clause 31.\n\n20. In the event of any member of the Crew being killed or injured as a result of warlike operations in which Great Britain is engaged, the Admiralty agree to settle any lawful claims arising from such death or injury according to the scales laid down in the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, and the Owners shall be relieved of their liability under the Workman's Compensation Act, 1906, or other Acts in respect of such claims.\n\n21. The Master shall prosecute his voyages with the utmost despatch and shall render all customary assistance with ship's Crew and boats.\n\n22. The Master shall obey all orders and instructions which he may receive from the Admiralty, or from any Officer authorised by them, and shall in all respects comply with the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, but he shall be solely responsible (on behalf of the Owners) for the management, handling, and navigation of the steamer. He shall keep accounts of his cargoes as laid down in the above-named Instructions, and the Admiralty hereby agree to indemnify the Owner from all consequences or liabilities that may arise from the Master signing Bills of Lading, as well as from any irregularity in Ship's papers consequent thereon, except as laid down in clause 27.\n\nThe Admiralty shall not be held responsible for losses sustained through the negligence of Pilots, Tug-boats, Stevedores, or others employed by them, the Owners recognising them as their servants even if appointed and paid by the Admiralty or the Agents of the Admiralty (but see also clause 26).\n\n23. If the Admiralty shall have reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the Master, Officers, or Engineers, the Owners shall, on receiving particulars of the complaint, investigate the same, and, if necessary, make a change in the appointments.\n\n24. The Master shall be furnished, from time to time, by the Admiralty, with all requisite instructions and sailing directions in writing, and shall keep a full and correct Log of the voyage or voyages, which is to be forwarded quarterly to the Admiralty. (See also clause 11.)\n\n25. If from deficiency of man or stores, breakdown of machinery, or any other cause, the working of the steamer is at any time suspended for a period exceeding twelve running hours, pay shall cease for the whole of such and any subsequent period of whatever duration during which the vessel is inefficient. (See also clause 11.)\n\nAny work that may be done during a period of partial inefficiency of the steamer, except proceeding to a port for repairs or to replenish bunker coals owing to accident, shall be paid for on the basis of the time it would have occupied had the steamer remained efficient. If upon the voyage her speed be reduced by a defect in or breakdown of any part of her machinery, damage to propeller, rudder, or by any other mishap of hull or engines or cargo, the time so lost and the cost of any extra coal consumed in consequence thereof shall be deducted from the hire; but should the steamer be driven into port or to anchorage by stress of weather or for coals, such detention or loss of time shall be at the Admiralty expense. In the event, however, of breakdown at sea or other accident necessitating the steamer proceeding to a port of refuge for repairs, or to replace or land crew, hire to cease until the steamer arrives back in a similar position to that in which she was at the time of the breakdown or accident, &c., and any coals used to be replaced or paid for by Owners, whichever Admiralty may elect.\n\nIf through accident, any part of the cargo or bunkers have to be discharged, the time occupied in discharging and reloading same to be deducted from the hire.\n\nAny time so lost shall count as part of the term of charter named in clauses 2 and 7, but the Admiralty have the option of keeping the steamer for an additional period equivalent to the whole or part of the time lost.\n\n26. Throughout this Charter, losses or damages, whether in respect of goods carried or to be carried or in other respects, arising or occasioned by the following causes shall be absolutely excepted, viz.: - The act of God, perils of the seas, fire on board, in hulk, craft, or on shore, barratry of the Master or Crew, enemies, pirates, robbers, or thieves, arrests and restraints of princes, rulers, and peoples, collisions and strandings, explosions, burstings of boilers, breakage of shafts, or any latent defect, even if existing at the beginning of the voyage, in the hull, boilers, machinery, or appurtenances, negligence, default, or error of judgment of the Pilot, Master, or Crew, or other servants of the Owners, in the management or navigation of the steamer.\n\n27. Except as limited in clauses 25 and 43, the Owners will be held strictly accountable for the value of and liable to the Admiralty for any loss or damage to coal, oil fuel, collier, and oil fuel outfits, signalling stores, &c., and all other Government stores of whatever description which may be shipped, whether as cargo or for use on board, in charge of the Master, who will be required to sign Bill of Lading and/or give receipts for same, and will be responsible for receipts given or Bills of Lading signed by the Mates for same.\n\nThe Owners will be held responsible for the safe and proper stowage of Government stores. If hired labour is employed for stowage, the expense will be borne by the Admiralty.\n\nThe stores will be shipped under the supervision of the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port, but this will not relieve the Owners of their responsibility for stowage.\n\n28. The steamer has liberty to assist vessels in distress, and to deviate for the purpose of saving life.\n\nAll salvage to be for Owners' benefit, but ship to be deemed off pay during the time occupied in salvage operations, and cost of coal consumed in such operations and port charges and expenses to be for Owners' account.\n\n29. The Admiralty to have lien on the steamer for all moneys paid in advance and not earned.\n\n30. Penalty for non-performance of this agreement proved damages.\n\n31. Any dispute arising under this Charter shall be referred, under the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1889, or any Amendment thereof, to the arbitration of two persons, one to be nominated by the Owners and the other by the Admiralty, and should such Arbitrators be unable to agree, the decision of an Umpire whom they must elect shall be final and binding upon both parties hereto, and it is further mutually agreed that such Arbitration shall be a condition precedent to the commencement of any action at law.\n\n32. General average shall be settled according to York-Antwerp Rules, 1890, but the Admiralty shall not be called upon to sign bonds or pay deposits, as Owners of British ships have no lien on Government stores and cannot detain them.\n\n33. The steamer shall not be ordered nor proceed to any port where fever or pestilence is prevalent, nor where quarantine is in force (except at Admiralty risk and expense), but the Owners shall be liable for any delay of quarantine arising from sickness of the Master or Crew, if the vessel has not been sent to a quarantined port.\n\n34. The wages paid to Crew employed under this Charter Party shall be not less than those current at the port on the date of signing-on.\n\n35. In pursuance of Act 22 Geo. III. Cap. XLV., no Member of the House of Commons is to be admitted to any share or part in this Charter or to any benefit to arise therefrom.\n\n## SPECIAL CLAUSES - COLLIERS\n\n(Not applicable to Oilers)\n\n36.

Plaza signalling. Navigation requisites. Admiralty liabilities, Miscellaneous.\n\n9. Should the steamer remain in the Admiralty service for more than six months from the date of her last drydocking, the Owners agree, if required by the Admiralty, at the expiration of such six months to place the steamer in drydock, to clean and paint her bottom, to open up or test under steam as may be considered necessary by the Admiralty Inspectors any parts of the machinery and boilers, and to make good any defects likely to interfere with satisfactory fulfilment of her continued service, all of which shall be done at Owners' expense, and the same at the expiration of every six months during the currency of this Charter.\n\nSuch drydocking and inspection shall take place at the port at which the steamer shall complete her voyage or at such other adjacent port as may be approved by the Admiralty. The hire shall cease from the time the steamer is available for drydocking at the port of drydocking until she is again placed at the disposal of the Admiralty at that port, ready to load and/or bunker and efficient for further service, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., but not on Sundays or public holidays nor after 1 p.m. on Saturdays, unless steamer sail or work be begun meantime.\n\nIn calculating the period of pay under this clause an allowance of 48 running hours without stoppage of hire shall be credited in respect of each drydocking.\n\n10. If there is any misrepresentation as regards steamer's size, capabilities, and position, or if steamer has not arrived at the port of delivery or is not ready to load by or on the date specified, the Admiralty have the option of cancelling this Charter.\n\n11. Payment of Hire shall be made in England as follows:-\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for two months certain or more, one calendar month's hire in advance on the steamer entering into pay, half a month's hire at the end of the second month, half a month's hire at the end of the third month, and one month's further hire at the end of each succeeding completed month of service.\n\nIn the case of steamers engaged for less than two months, the advance of hire to be made on the steamer entering into pay shall be for two-thirds of the hire for the period certain, such advance in no case to exceed the amount of one calendar month's hire, and the remaining payments shall be made as laid down above.\n\nIn all cases such payments shall be considered as payments on account, and the balance of hire shall be paid on the passing in Office of the accounts, &c., to be rendered by the steamer, and on receipt of the Logs for the period (vide clause 24).\n\nPeriods of pay, and periods less than one calendar month at the expiration of this Charter shall be reckoned in days. A day's hire shall be calculated on the basis of 1/365 of twelve calendar months' hire of the steamer; and in case of inefficiency under clauses 9 and 25, any fraction of a day amounting to 12 hours or over shall count as one day off pay.\n\nClaims for hire and other expenses allowable under this Charter shall be rendered to the Director of Transports, Admiralty, S.W., on Form T. 191.\n\n12. The Owner shall provide and pay for all wages, provisions, including fuel for galley and Electric Light, and all other expenses in connection with the Master, Officers, Engineers and Crew, for the insurance of the steamer, for all deck and engine-room stores, water for all purposes, for the proper ventilation of the cargo, for boats, for ballast necessary to enable the steamer to proceed with safety without cargo, and for the maintenance of the steamer in a thoroughly efficient state in hull and machinery for and during the service.\n\n13. The steamer shall sail under signal provided by the Admiralty, but the Owners shall provide the following flags, &c., for signalling:\n\n(a) A set of International Code Flags and the latest edition of the Signal Code.\n\n(b) A pair of Hand Flags for Semaphoring messages in daylight.\n\n(c) A Flashing Lamp for signalling at night (Morse Code).\n\n(d) Signal Letters for British Ships.\n\nThe Owners shall provide the Charts required for the safe navigation of the steamer according to the services on which she may from time to time be employed, and shall supply the necessary Compasses and Chronometers, in respect of which certificates from competent authorities shall be furnished that they are in good order and that a correct deviation table has been provided.\n\n14. The Admiralty shall be liable for all coal, or other fuel, except fuel for galley and Electric Light, and shall accept and pay for all fuel in steamer's bunkers at the time of delivery.\n\nOn the expiration of the Charter the Owners shall pay the Admiralty for all the fuel left in the bunkers. Both such payments shall be made at the current market price at the respective ports.\n\nThe Owners shall on entry into pay hand to the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port a certificate signed by the Master and Chief Engineer of the number of tons of fuel in the bunkers of the steamer, and its description.\n\n15. The Admiralty shall be liable for port charges, pilotages, lights, dues, necessary tug assistance, consular charges (except such as relate to Officers or Crew), Bills of Health, and overtime under conditions of clause 17, but the Owners shall without any charge against the Admiralty arrange through the Master or their Port Agents all such services in connection with the navigation and clearing of the steamer as if they were trading on their own account, pay the claims therefor and reclaim from the Director of Transports such as are necessary and for Admiralty account, the claim for each service being supported by the receipted vouchers. All pilotage certificates must show the draft of water.\n\n16. When Great Britain is at peace the Officers, Engineers, and every member of the Crew shall be British subjects. When Great Britain is at war this stipulation is to be carried out so far as practicable, but in any case, Master, Officers and Engineers must be British subjects, and members of the hostile nationality are to be excluded. At least one of the officers or men must be able to use the Bashing lantern.\n\nA full list of the Crew with their rating and nationality shall be produced on the entry into pay of the steamer.\n\n17. The steamer shall work day and night if required and the steam winches shall be at the service of the Admiralty by day and night with full steam when and as required. The same shall be worked free of cost by the Crew, which must contain sufficient skilled hands to work all the winches on board at once in one shift. The Admiralty will repay overtime under such conditions as may be from time to time authorised.\n\n18. The Admiralty shall not be held liable if the steamer shall be lost, wrecked, driven on shore, injured or rendered incapable of service by or in consequence of dangers of the sea or tempest, collision, fire, accident, stress of weather or any other cause arising as a sea risk.\n\n19. The risks of war which are taken by the Admiralty are those risks which would be excluded from an ordinary English policy of marine insurance by the following, or similar, but not more extensive clause:\n\nWarranted free of capture, seizure, and detention and the consequences thereof, or of any attempt thereat, piracy excepted, and also from all consequences of hostilities or warlike operations, whether before or after declaration of war.\n\nSuch risks are taken by the Admiralty on the ascertained value of the steamer, if she be totally lost, at the time of such loss, or, if she be injured, on the ascertained value of such injury.\n\nShould a dispute arise as to the value of the steamer the same shall be settled as laid down in clause 31.\n\n20. In the event of any member of the Crew being killed or injured as a result of warlike operations in which Great Britain is engaged, the Admiralty agree to settle any lawful claims arising from such death or injury according to the scale laid down in the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, and the Owners shall be relieved of their liability under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906, or other Acts in respect of such claims.\n\n21. The Master shall prosecute his voyages with the utmost despatch and skill and render all customary assistance with ship's Crew and boats.\n\n22. The Master shall obey all orders and instructions which he may receive from the Admiralty, or from any Officer authorised by them, and shall in all respects comply with the Instructions for Masters of Collier and Oiler Transports, but he shall be solely responsible (on behalf of the Owners) for the management, handling, and navigation of the steamer. He shall keep accounts of his cargoes as laid down in the above-named Instructions and the Admiralty hereby agree to indemnify the Owners from all consequences or liabilities that may arise from the Master signing Bills of Lading, as well as from any irregularity in Ship's papers consequent thereon, except as laid down in clause 27.\n\nThe Admiralty shall not be held responsible for losses sustained through the negligence of Pilots, Tug-boats, Stevedores, or others employed by them, the Owners recognising them as their servants even if appointed and paid by the Admiralty or the Agents of the Admiralty (but see also clause 25).\n\n23. If the Admiralty shall have reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the Master, Officers, or Engineers, the Owners shall, on receiving particulars of the complaint, investigate the same, and, if necessary, make a change in the appointments.\n\n24. The Master shall be furnished, from time to time, by the Admiralty, with all requisite instructions and sailing directions in writing, and shall keep a full and correct Log of the voyage or voyages which is to be forwarded quarterly to the Admiralty. (See also clause 11.)\n\n25. If from deficiency of men or stores, breakdown of machinery, or any other cause, the working of the steamer is at any time suspended for a period exceeding twelve running hours, pay shall cease for the whole of such and any subsequent period of whatever duration during which the vessel is inefficient. (See also clause 11.)\n\nAny work that may be done during a period of partial inefficiency of the steamer, except proceeding to a port for repairs or to replenish bunker coals owing to accident shall be paid for on the basis of the time it would have occupied had the steamer remained efficient. If upon the voyage her speed be reduced by a defect in or breakdown of any part of her machinery, damage to propeller, rudder or by any other mishap of hull or engines or cargo, the time so lost and the cost of any extra coal consumed in consequence thereof shall be deducted from the hire; but should the steamer be driven into port or to anchorage by stress of weather or for coals, such detention or loss of time shall be at the Admiralty expense. In the event, however, of breakdown at sea or other accident necessitating the steamer proceeding to a port of refuge for repairs, or to replace or land crew, hire to cease until the steamer arrives back in a similar position to that in which she was at the time of the breakdown or accident, &c., and any coals used to be replaced or paid for by Owners, whichever Admiralty may elect.\n\nIf through accident any part of the cargo or bunkers have to be discharged, the time occupied in discharging and reloading same to be deducted from the hire.\n\nAny time so lost shall count as part of the term of charter named in clauses 2 and 7, but the Admiralty have the option of keeping the steamer for an additional period equivalent to the whole or part of the time lost.\n\n26. Throughout this Charter losses or damages whether in respect of goods carried or to be carried or in other respects arising or occasioned by the following causes shall be absolutely excepted, viz.:-The act of God, perils of the seas, fire on board, in hull, craft, or on shore, barratry of the Master or Crew, enemies, pirates, robbers, or thieves, arrests and restraints of princes, rulers, and peoples, collisions and strandings, explosions, bursting of boilers, breakage of shafts, or any latent defect, even if existing at the beginning of the voyage, in the hull, boilers, machinery, or appurtenances, negligence, default, or error of judgment of the Pilot, Master, or Crew, or other servants of the Owners, in the management or navigation of the steamer.\n\n27. Except as limited in clauses 26 and 43, the Owners will be held strictly accountable for the value of and liable to the Admiralty for any loss or damage to coal, oil fuel, collier and oil fuel outfits, signalling stores, &c., and all other Government stores of whatever description which may be shipped, whether as cargo or for use on board, in charge of the Master, who will be required to sign Bills of Lading and/or give receipts for same, and will be responsible for receipts given or Bills of Lading signed by the Mates for same.\n\nThe Owners will be held responsible for the safe and proper stowage of Government stores. If hired labour is employed for stowage, the expense will be borne by the Admiralty.\n\nThe stores will be shipped under the supervision of the Admiralty Officer or Agent at the port, but this will not relieve the Owners of their responsibility for stowage.\n\n28. The steamer has liberty to assist vessels in distress, and to deviate for the purpose of saving life.\n\nAll salvage to be for Owners' benefit, but ship to be off pay during the time occupied in salvage operations, and cost of coal consumed in such operations and port charges and expenses to be for Owners' account.\n\n29. The Admiralty to have lien on the steamer for all moneys paid in advance and not earned.\n\n30. Penalty for non-performance of this agreement proved damages.\n\n31. Any dispute arising under this Charter shall be referred, under the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1889, or any Amendment thereof, to the arbitration of two persons, one to be nominated by the Owner and the other by the Admiralty, and should such Arbitrators be unable to agree, the decision of an Umpire whom they must elect shall be final and binding upon both parties hereto, and it is further mutually agreed that such Arbitration shall be a condition precedent to the commencement of any action at law.\n\n32. General average shall be settled according to York-Antwerp Rules, 1890, but the Admiralty shall not be called upon to sign bonds or pay deposits, as Owners of British ships shall have no lien on Government stores and cannot detain them.\n\n33. The steamer shall not be ordered nor proceed to any port where fever or pestilence is prevalent, nor where quarantine is in force (except at Admiralty risk and expense), but the Owners shall be liable for any delay of quarantine arising from wilful misconduct of the Master or Crew, if the vessel has not been sent to a quarantined port.\n\n34. The wages paid to Crew employed under this Charter Party shall be not less than those current at the port on the date of signing-on.\n\n35. In pursuance of Act 27 Gen. III. Cap. XLV., no Member of the House of Commons is to be admitted to any share or part in this Charter or to any benefit to arise therefrom.\n\nSPECIAL CLAUSES.—COLLIERS.\n\n(Not applicable to Oilers.)\n\n36. Colliers must be supplied with the necessary derricks, winches, &c., complete with the required 24-inch wire whips and other ropes, blocks, and fittings for the speedy and efficient discharge of cargo.\n\nIn colliers fitted with double derricks and winches, the following gear for coaling whips shall be provided for each pair of derricks:-\n\nTwo flexible steel wire 24-inch ropes, each sufficiently long to reach any part of the hold, with either derrick topped over the collier's hold and the other swung over the vessel being coaled. In addition, two spare whips for each pair of derricks should be carried.\n\nFour iron blocks capable of taking 24-inch wire rope and tested to six tons, viz.:-One block at the heel of each derrick and one (which should be self-lubricating) at the head.\n\nOne swivel cargo hook constructed so as not to catch the coamings, &c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-463 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 485369, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-464 - Public Offices - 1920", "page_number": 311, "title": "CO129-464 - Public Offices - 1920", "content_text": "9440/20\n\n300\n\nMemo for prudent-\n\nthis\n\n15 March 1920\n\nI have to inform you on the question of the treatment of trade marks belonging to German subjects who have not been sold in the liquidation of enemy property.\n\nThe Colonies and Protectorates responsible Government have been informed that the Custodian of Enemy Property has been vested with the local property under General Order 2.\n\nSuch marks will fall into three classes:\n\n(a) those belonging to German individuals or companies established in Germany but not carrying on business in the Colony;\n\n(b) those belonging to German individuals or companies carrying on business in the Colony;\n\n(c) those registered in the names of two entities, a German individual firm or company in Germany carrying on business as a manufacturer and a German individual firm or company in the Colony carrying on business as an agent—the mark denoting both the manufacturer's and the agent's business.\n\n5. Marks falling within the third class are in effect registered in the names of two entities, a German individual firm or company in Germany carrying on business as a manufacturer and a German individual firm or company in the Colony carrying on business as an agent—the mark denoting both the manufacturer's and the agent's business. The latter business has presumably been liquidated and is no longer in existence. In view of the provisions of paragraph 5 of the Annex to Article 297 of the Peace Treaty, such marks might be retained by the Custodian, if it were desired to prevent imports by the firm concerned into the Colony, but having regard to the general resumption of trade between the British Empire and Germany it is considered that it would be best to allow the mark to be restored to the German firm, with whose business it was formerly associated.\n\n6. In cases where it is decided to restore enemy trade marks, two alternative courses are possible:\n\n(A) A General Divesting Order or Deed, leaving the various rights of the parties to be determined hereafter in legal proceedings;\n\n(B) the restoration of each trade mark only on special application by the parties properly entitled to it, the transfer by the Custodian to such parties being recorded in the Register of Trade Marks.\n\nIt seems preferable that the second of these courses should be adopted, proof of title being called for in each case before the transfer by the Custodian to the person claiming ownership. It does not seem necessary that a special assignment should be made in each case, and all that would be required is that, in each case in which the title was made to the satisfaction of the Custodian, he should give to the Registrar of Trade Marks a written authorization to re-enter the names of the applicants in the Register, which might be in the following terms:\n\nSubject to the provisions of the Treaty of Peace, I consent to the transfer of mark now standing in my name as Custodian to who has proved his title to my satisfaction under the Treaty of Peace.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nCircular to all Colonies & Protectorates (not to Tanganyika)\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Discon\n\nMr. Burke 9/3/20\n\nMr. Grindle\n\nSir H.

Mr. D. Y. Perkins, senior partner in the Straits legal firm of Messrs. Drew and Napier, has recently retired from the Colony after a residence of 21 years. He had been an unofficial member of the Legislative Council of the Colony since 1918. In 1910 Mr. Perkins married, in Singapore, the second daughter of the late Sir John Anderson, then Governor of the Straits Settlements. In social circles both Mr. and Mrs. D. Y. Perkins have held a high place in the colony and they will be greatly missed.\n\nLiving costs in Tokyo, highest of any city in the world, are the real cause of the closing of the Rumanian Legation here this month, according to the Hochi. The Rumanian Minister, his First Secretary and Military Attaché have received instructions to close the Legation temporarily and are making preparations to sail for home within the next few weeks. According to the newspaper, the appropriation for the maintenance of a Legation in Tokyo felt justified by Rumania has not proved sufficient to meet present price levels.\n\nAccording to Japanese native papers, the officials of the Yokohama Dockyard Co. have decided to wait until the pinch of want drives the workmen who are now on strike back to their jobs. The officials seem confident that this will come about before long. The strikers are selling bread and groceries to raise strike funds and declare they are able to carry on the struggle for at least six months. All the repair works in the docks has been entrusted to other companies, with the exception of that on the Kaga and the Kamo, which is almost complete.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\nThe British Legation Chapel in Peking was the scene of a pretty wedding on the 7th inst., when Mrs. Belcher, widow of the late Major F. P. Belcher, R.A.F., was married to Mr. E. C. Mieville, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Mieville of London. The bride was given away by Sir Beilby Alston, H. M. Minister, Lady Alston acting as proxy for her mother, and Mr. L. N. Mackinnon, of Tientsin, was best man. Following the ceremony, the guests assembled at Sir Beilby Alston's house to tender their congratulations. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Mieville left for Tientsin, where the first portion of the honeymoon is being spent.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nThe Czecho-Slovak Republic has conferred on Temp. Lt.-Colonel John Ward, C.B., C.M.G., the Croix de Guerre.\n\nMr. Charles Henry Wailar, a visitor staying at the Peak Hotel, suddenly died on March 22nd from heart failure. The deceased arrived here last week from Bombay.\n\n\"Assaulting the police appears to be a favourite occupation now-a-days,\" said Mr. Lindsel, at the Magistracy, on March 21st, in sentencing a man to six weeks' imprisonment for an attack on a Chinese constable.\n\nIt is announced that Messrs. Dodwell & Co., Ltd., have been appointed agents of the London Liverpool & Globe Insurance Co., Ltd., for Hongkong and Canton, and that the present branch offices of the Company in Hongkong and Canton will be closed from 1st April.\n\nLt. Col. F. S. Penny, R.A.M.C., who, as a major, has recently been promoted to colonel. He served as an assistant-director of medical services in the late war, winning the C.M.G. and D.S.O., and had previous field service in South Africa.\n\n[March 5th, 1929.]\n\nFour armed men entered a house in Shanghai Street about 9.30 at night on March 22nd. Having driven the inmates into a cubicle, they robbed the house at their pleasure, stealing $59 worth of jewellery and $104 in cash.\n\nThere was quite a lively scene in Yau Ma Tei the other night, when a mob of Chinese surrounded the police station crying for vengeance upon an Indian constable.\n\nAs far as could be gathered, it was alleged that the constable, who was off duty, had assaulted a Chinese. Quiet was not restored until a considerable force of police had been marched to the scene by Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse and Mr. T. H. King. A baton charge dispersed the mob which numbered some hundreds.\n\nLady Stubbs opened a small bazaar held on March 20th in the Church Hall of St. Andrew's, Kowloon, in aid of the Mission Hospital at Yunnanfu and St. Dunstan's Home for Blinded Soldiers. H.E. Sir John Fowler, K.C.M.G., C.B., presided at the opening ceremony. Instructive missionary exhibits were on view and kinematograph films were shown during the evening also illustrative of missionary work. A large number of helpers contributed efforts to make the affair a success.\n\nMr. O. T. Breakspear, manager of the Publicity Bureau for South China, is leaving for Home by the City of Simla towards the end of the present month. The work of the Bureau will be carried on by Capt. A. G. McClay, who has recently arrived. During the past three years Mr. Breakspear has been the Hon. Corresponding Secretary for the Overseas Club in the Colony, and Mr. Eric Rice has consented to take over these duties in the meantime.\n\nUnder the title of labour organizations before the war, the Government Bureau of Economic Information publishes a list of 47 bodies. The workers who are so organized include labourers, cooks, employees of vegetable shops, printers, seamen, mechanics, warehouse coolies, girl hosiery makers, weavers, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, laundrymen, tailors, barbers and shoemakers. The list also includes a ricksha coolies association, but a note explains that this has been organized by the managers of ricksha concerns and has no relation with the coolies at all.\n\nShanghai residents, and perhaps the Shanghai police, who were startled some weeks ago by the killing of a Korean in broad day in a public thoroughfare (says the Peking correspondent of the N.-C. Daily News) may be interested to know that the victim was not named Yang, as then reported, but was the more or less notorious Kim Lip, an agent of the Irkutsk bureau for the dissemination of Communist propaganda among Oriental peoples, who came to Peking last summer with Russian gold to the value of $400,000 and resided for some time at various road houses in the Western Hills.\n\nThe inevitable has happened. Costs are rising as a consequence of the strike. By advertisement this week the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd., and Holt's Wharf announce that from the 1st of next month the charges for landing, shipping and storing cargo will be increased by 10 per cent., owing to the increased cost of working and maintenance.\n\n56\n\nMr. William Yinson Lee, a prominent merchant of Sydney, arrived last week by the s.s. Arafura on a business trip to Hongkong and South China. During the recent visit of the Prince of Wales to Australia Mr. Yinson Lee had the honour of presenting the address of welcome from the Chinese community of all the States of the Commonwealth to His Royal Highness.\n\nThe health return for the week records 15 cases of plague (all Chinese excepting one Portuguese case). Eleven of the Chinese cases proved fatal. There were also three fatal cases of small-pox (Chinese); two non-fatal enteric and paratyphoid fever; and one non-fatal case of scarlet fever (British) and one of relapsing fever. Influenza accounted for two deaths during the week.\n\nA rice merchant was attacked by four men, whilst riding in his private ricksha on March 16th, and robbed of $146. The attack took place at the junction of Wilmer Street with Des Voeux Road. One of the men threw pepper in his victim's face, and the others dragged him out of the ricksha. A wallet containing a quantity of notes was stolen. An attempt by one of the men to snatch his gold watch and chain failed. The robbers disappeared when the merchant blew his police whistle.\n\nAmong the passengers who left the Colony by the Andre Lebon were M. Reau, the French Consul-General, who, we understand, will not be returning to Hongkong. M. Reau's departure is much regretted by the French community and many friends of other nationalities. Other well-known French residents of the Colony who left by the French mail steamer for France with no intention of returning were M. and Madame Lecab'e. As agent of the Société des Charbonnages du Tonkin M. Lecab'e had resided in the Colony for some years and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. M. and Madame Lecable intend to settle in France.\n\nA clipping from a home paper has now been received giving further details of the tragedy which occurred at Gibraltar.\n\nA serious collision occurred on Praya East on March 18th. Two motor cars, which were meeting one another, were about to pass, opposite Wai Wo's yard. At that point, also, two or three rickshas were proceeding westwards. The driver of the west-bound motor car (which belonged to the Dragon Garage) misjudged the available space and caught one of the rickshas full in the back. The occupant, Mr. H. Gelling, of the Daily Press, was hurled by the force of the impact a distance of some yards and narrowly escaped crushing his head against a verandah pillar, which was only missed by inches. As it was, he sustained many severe contusions and is now under treatment by Dr. Dalmahoy Allan. The ricksha coolie was hurt about the head and the ricksha is a wreck.\n\nThe names of a special jury were called for the Praya murder trial at the Criminal Sessions on March 20th. Later Mr. W. S. Bailey arrived in Court and explained to the Chief Justice that pressure of work had caused him to overlook the matter; he was very sorry. The Judge said it was a very serious matter. In consequence of Mr. Bailey's absence another gentleman had to serve in his place. The Chief Justice added that he could see no possible excuse whatever and Mr. Bailey would be fined $50.\n\nA report states: \"Dr. Lovell Moss, who has a medical practice here, was returning by motor-car from a dance to his residence at Algeciras, accompanied by his wife and sister-in-law and chauffeur and assistant chauffeur, when he was caught in the chains at a level crossing on the Andulaces Railway at Los Barrios, and almost simultaneously run into by a troop train. Mrs. Moss and the two chauffeurs were killed on the spot, while the doctor and his sister-in-law were conveyed to a hospital here, where they are lying in a critical condition.\" News has since been received in Shanghai that Miss Molloy died the day after the accident and Dr. Moss the day following.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492979, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "page_number": 332, "title": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "content_text": "PACIFIC SHIPPING.\n\nCANADIAN PACIFIC STEAMSHIPS LIMITED\n\nHOME VIA CANADA\n\nHongkong to England\n\nShanghai, Nagasaki, Kobe, Yokohama, Vancouver & Montreal.\n\nTHE HONGKONG DOLLAR TELEGRAPH.\n\nSATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922.\n\nSAILINGS FROM HONGKONG.\n\nFor Baltimore via Genoa, Marseilles, Boston and New York.

The Government confidently looked to the owners to conduct the business with as much zeal and care as if their own interests alone were still involved,\n\nThe scheme included all lines operating between Hongkong and the United Kingdom and all the ocean-going ships belonging to the Indo-China and China Navigation Companies, but it did not apply to the smaller lines operating in and out of Hongkong along the China Coast.\n\nThe Indo-China and China Navigation Companies' ships were requisitioned under this scheme in the early summer of 1917, and they were run under it on Far Eastern trades by their owners on behalf of the Imperial Government until the end of the war: with the exception that such of their vessels as could possibly be spared were taken as occasion required for the direct use of the Imperial Government, and towards the latter part of the war only a small portion of each Company's fleet remained upon the Coast.\n\nThe remuneration payable to these Companies was at Blue Book rates with eastern allowance, and it was converted into dollars, at first as to one third, and later as to one half, at 2, and as to the balance at the rate of the day.\n\n2. The taking of vessels from Far Eastern trades for the use of the Imperial Government, on full requisition as distinct from Liner requisition, had been going on since the commencement of the war, and by the beginning of the year 1917 the number of British vessels trading to Hongkong was very materially diminished. The situation was carefully watched at home, and on the 11th April, 1917, the Admiralty telegraphed that, while it was imperative that every possible ship should be used to relieve the home tonnage position, the Admiral, in requisitioning vessels, was to consider any requirements of the Colony which were absolutely vital, and he was authorised to requisition at the request of the local Government small British tonnage necessary to meet its requirements.\n\n3. In May, 1917, a Committee was appointed by the Government \"to consider what are the vital requirements of the Colony and what British tonnage is necessary to meet such requirements\". The original members of the Committee were:--\n\nHon. Mr. C. E. Antou\n\nCommander Beckwith, R.N.\n\nMr. S. H. Dodwell\n\nMr. G. T. Edkins\n\nHon. Mr. Lau Chi-pak\n\nHon. Mr. R. Shewan\n\nMessrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd.\n\n...Harbour Master\n\nMessrs. Dodwell & Co.\n\nMessrs. Butterfield & Swire\n\nCheong Yue Steamship Co., Ltd.\n\nMessrs. Shewan Tomes & Co.\n\nFleet Paymaster W. D. Sirratt, R.N.\n\nThis Committee, with which the Government was in constant touch until the end of the war, did most valuable work on behalf of the Colony.\n\n4. In a telegram dated the 5th July, 1917, the Hongkong Government was informed that the Shipping Controller had appointed Mr. G. K. Nuttall of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, and Mr. R. Sutherland of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd., as a sub-committee to represent him in the Colony.\n\n5. In a preliminary report on the local situation, dated the 4th July, 1917, Sir Henry May wrote to the Secretary of State for the Colonies:-\n\n\"I need hardly emphasize the point that the Commercial Community of this Colony is anxious to assist His Majesty's Government in every possible way. Their views on the subject of the phrase 'vital requirements' are, I think, in the special circumstances of this peculiarly situated Colony, sound, and they are content to leave the question of requisitioning in the hands of the Controller of Shipping in London, who has the benefit of the advice of a representative Shipping Committee.\"\n\n61\n\n6. In a telegram dated the 12th October, 1917, the Secretary of State for the Colonies referred at some length to the proposed appointment of Colonel Thomson, Shipping Adviser to the Indian Government, as Agent of the Shipping Controller in charge of all lines with headquarters in the Far East, and he added;\n\n\"Following scheme suggested as likely to secure most economical and advantageous use of tonnage available. All seagoing vessels except those already requisitioned belonging to shipping companies registered in India, Straits Settlements, and Hongkong would be requisitioned from fixed date. Thomson's control so far as concerns finance will extend to all such vessels except those registered in United Kingdom which are already under liner requisition scheme. Vessels will be left to owners to be run as if for themselves but actually for Indian or Colonial Governments and Thomson's functions would be those of General Manager. Owners would credit full earnings and debit charges after allowances for rebates, commissions, etc., and would be paid hire at rates paid in respect of vessels on full requisition subject to adjustments necessary on account of charges payable by owners themselves. Balance of profit if any would be payable to Government of India or Colony. Owners would be reimbursed net cost of maintenance of organisation of officers and staff and would also be entitled to charge customary payment to agents. Do you see any objection to proposals? Despatch follows by mail and detailed scheme will be communicated in due course but you should not wait for despatch or scheme before replying.” The Hongkong Government, with some hesitation and after further correspondence with regard to details, acquiesced in the proposals made.\n\n7. In the meantime, owing to the constant withdrawals of British steamers from the China Coast, the local tonnage situation had become considerably more difficult. At the end of October, 1917, it was decided by the Shipping Controller to withdraw six further vessels, including the S.S. Burrumbert, regarding which the Commodore wrote, under date the 3rd November, 1917:--\n\n1\n\nI suggest that in the event of Burrumbert being requisitioned the Kailan Mining Administration should, if necessary, charter tonnage (to replace her) from vessels on the coast not suitable for Imperial work, but which are suitable for coal carrying\".\n\nThe Vital Requirements Committee wrote on the same date:--\n\n\"In view of the necessity for further requisition for Imperial needs elsewhere we are of the opinion that the vessels named can be spared but we desire to qualify this opinion to the extent that as the Burrumbee is engaged in coal transport connected with the Colony it may be necessary to consider ways and means of replacing her if the coal shippers concerned can show the necessity for maintaining a ship in her place, in which case we suggest that assistance should be given in the provision of another vessel\", and at a meeting of the Committee held on the 20th November, 1917, the following minute was recorded:--\n\nIn view of the importance of supplying the Colony with coal at reasonable rates it was agreed to recommend that the Wollowra, a boat unsuitable for Admiralty requirements, be requisitioned to take the Burrumbeet's place.\n\nOn the 24th November, the Committee wrote:--\n\n\"The Committee is in agreement with the Government that it is essential in the interests of the Colony that coal at a reasonable price should be available and it is suggested that the steamer Wollowra be requisitioned to take the place of the Burrunbrel, since the Wollowra is declared unsuitable for Admiralty requirements and moreover is not included in the liner requisition scheme. As regards management of the vessel it appears suitable to place her in the hands of the Kailan Administration to run similarly to the Burrumbeet under guidance of the Admiralty Authorities.\"\n\nThe Government wrote accordingly to the Commodore on the 28th November, 1917:-- \"I have the honour to request that you will be so good as to requisition on behalf of this Government the S.S. Wollowra, to take the place of the S.S. Burrumbeet.\n\n293", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495634, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 302, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "66\n\nDuring the whole period that this matter has been under consideration the Government, before taking each step, has sought the advice of the Vital Requirements Committee and Sub-Committee, consisting of Mr. Edkins, Mr. Anton and subsequently Mr. Landale, Mr. Shewan, Mr. Dodwell, Mr. Lau Chu-pak, Mr. Young, and Mr. Sutherland. Mr. Fletcher has represented the Government on this Committee.\n\n15. The Hongkong Control Scheme came into operation on the 15th April, 1918. A number of tramps, whose movements were being directed by the opportunities for profit-making arising from the requisitioning of competing ships, were now made directly available for war purposes, to release and take the place of more sea-worthy vessels. It was possible at last to use all British tonnage in the Far East in the most economical way to meet pressing needs.\n\n16. An account of some of the uses to which certain of the vessels were put may be of interest. The S.S. Wollowra had been carrying coal for the account of the Hongkong Government since December, 1917, and later the S.S. Telemachus, Rotorua, Ching Chow, and Patriot were used from time to time for a similar purpose. The first trip of the S.S. Patriot was for the account of the Naval Yard. The Government was thereby enabled to supply coal and coke to the Naval authorities whose requirements were considerable, and also to the Military Authorities and to various industries such as the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Hongkong Steel Foundry, Hong-kong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company, and the Hongkong Electric Company. It also supplied at a cheap rate 1,200 tons monthly to the Chinese Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, without which that Section would have been unable to continue its service.\n\nWhen, in the spring of 1918, arrangements were unexpectedly made by the Imperial Government to divert Dutch tonnage, and the trade in raw sugar between Java and Hongkong was in consequence completely dislocated, the S.S. Wollowra was despatched to Java and brought up a full cargo of sugar. The Government was also able to arrange for the Russian S.S. Vitim, not under its control, to bring sugar.\n\nThe Government of the Straits Settlements had in the meantime represented to the Hongkong Government the need for an increased output of tin for war purposes and had requested assistance in carrying Chinese labour to that Colony. It was possible to make arrangements to send coolies from Hongkong, but Singapore had quarantined the Colony on account of cerebro-spinal meningitis, and was unable to entertain a representation that the disease was understood to be quite as prevalent in Amoy and Swatow as it was in Hongkong. Consequently the S.S. Wollowra was placed on the Amoy, Singapore, Rangoon run, for the particular purpose of carrying coolies to Singapore, and also to carry on the normal trade with Rangoon.\n\nThe S.S. Haimun was taken up to carry coal for Admiralty account, but, as she was found to be unsuitable, she was despatched in June, 1918, to Amoy to carry coolies to Singapore. She remained on this run, and in August she was put on the trip Singapore, Hongkong, Amoy, Singapore, the reason being that the Green Island Cement Company required tonnage to carry cement for Government works at Penang, while the Government of the Straits Settlements required coolies, but would not allow them to come from Hongkong. Consequently the S.S. Haimun carried the cement from Amoy; the ship was diverted for a trip to Java to fetch sugar.\n\nThe S.S. Telemachus was taken off a charter bringing in Straits $115,000 a month in order to carry coal for specified Hongkong industries. This coal came from the Kailan Mining Administration on whose behalf Colonel Thomson and the Admiralty had invoked the assistance of the Hongkong Government. The S.S. Patriot also carried the Kailan Administration coal. In November, 1918, she was detailed to bring rice from Saigon.\n\nIt was at the same time considered to be essential, in the interests of British trade and prestige, to keep as many as possible of the Hongkong controlled vessels on the regular coast runs, and in this connection the Government kept in view certain representations which had been made by His Majesty's Ministers at Peking and Bangkok, and also representations made by the Governor-General of Indo-China regarding the Saigon rice trade. The Douglas Company's ships, Haitan and Hai Hong, served the customary Coast ports throughout the requisition period, with the exception that the S.S. Hai Hong was lent to the Naval Authorities for one voyage to carry reinforcements from the Manchester Regiment to Vladivostock. The steamers Castlefield, Manapouri, and Brisbane continued on their original charters within the usual coast trade limits, and such other vessels as could from time to time be spared were made available for the miscellaneous requirements of the Coast which were normally served by a much larger number of ships. The S.S. Upolu continued to carry coal for the Kailan Mining Administration. Every run was most carefully watched; sub-chartering was not permitted, and charters, while binding the charterer for a fixed period, reserved to the Hongkong Government the right to terminate the contract at a month's notice.\n\n17. Although the Hongkong Control Scheme was proving of immense benefit to the Colony, the tonnage was not nearly sufficient to meet requirements, and every endeavour was made to supplement it. The S.S. Glenfalloch, of Singapore Registry, was lying at the Taikoo Dockyard awaiting repairs, which the owners were unwilling to carry out, and the Hongkong Government asked permission of the Straits Settlements Government to repair the vessel and run her under the Hongkong Scheme, but that Government was unable to accept the proposal. The Government of the Straits Settlements were further approached, but without success, for permission for the S.S. Hock Lee and Will o' the Wisp to be run under the Hongkong Scheme. These vessels had been purchased by Hongkong owners but had remained on the Singapore Register. Colonel Thomson arranged for the placing of the S.S. Kolya at the disposal of the Hongkong Government for the purpose of carrying coal for the Naval Yard, but at the last moment the vessel could not be made available. Negotiations were entered into regarding the S.S. Sui Kai under the Chinese flag, which had for a long time been lying idle in the harbour owing to a complicated law-suit. An offer was made to repair and run the ship for the account of whoever might be concerned, but the vessel was so fast entangled in the meshes of the law that it was impossible to extricate her. An attempt was made to arrange for the salving at the expense of the Hongkong Government of a steamer which had been stranded on the Siberian coast, but the project was found to be impracticable. In August, 1918, three small and old British vessels, the Amherst, Cornelia, and Huk Canton, of 211, 214, and 288 tons register respectively, were requisitioned by the Naval Authorities and were placed under the orders of the Shipping Control Committee.\n\n18. The relations between the Hongkong Government and the Shipowners were throughout of a most cordial nature. All owners co-operated in a most patriotic manner and did their utmost to make the Control Scheme work smoothly and successfully. A Shipowners Protection Association was formed under the Chairmanship of Mr. S. T. Williamson, of Messrs. Moller and Company, and his services, placed freely at the disposal of the Government, were of the greatest assistance. There was one request pressed by the Association to which the Government could not see its way to accede. The Association wished to be represented upon the Shipping Control Committee, and this was refused, for the reason that the Committee had been chosen, as an independent body having no connection with the requisitioned ships, to advise the Government on technical matters connected with the ships. Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Young sat as representatives of Colonel Thomson, Agent to the Shipping Controller, who was in constant communication with the Colony with regard to controlled ships. The Committee worked in close and constant touch with the Vital Requirements Committee, which advised as to the employment of the ships for the needs of the Colony, and Mr. H. P. White, representing the controlled vessels of the Douglas Steamship Company, took his seat upon the latter body.\n\n19. The question of the remuneration to be paid to owners was one of considerable difficulty. The Shipping Controller's instructions were that the remuneration was not to be appreciably higher or lower than that of competing vessels, the vessels most directly concerned being those of the Indo-China and China Navigation fleets. The Hongkong Government urged the Shipping Controller in London that in view of the increase in prices and the rise in exchange the remuneration should be payable at exchange half 19 and ball rate of day. This was refused, it being again pointed out that the payments to owners under the local scheme must not be more favourable than payments to owners under the Imperial scheme. Further representations were made in the following terms: – it must be remembered that the vessels brought under local requisition are mostly old and in more or less bad condition, having been discarded, at periods more or less remote, from the regular lines; with the result that the cost of repair and upkeep is proportionately heavier than in the case of vessels, such as those of the Indo-China and China Navigation Companies, on the regular lines. I was aware, when I sent my telegram of the 9th March, that expenses connected with repairing and running were on owners' risk, if the owners were prepared to run the vessels; and, in order to offer the owners a sufficient inducement to do so, I accepted the advice of the Control Committee to grant the terms stated in the telegram which I addressed to you on the 17th.\n\n67\n\n296\n\n1\n\ni\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 497774, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "page_number": 460, "title": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "content_text": "## 1924 \nHONG KONG \n450 \nC.O. \n36404 \n\nDATE | FROM \n---|---\n31 JUL 24 | Gov Stiebbs \n257 | 16 June \n\n**FOR CIRCULATION**\n\nMr. Asst.

Colonial Secretary,\n\nI submit a copy of a letter from a Labour Agency in Singapore regarding labour for Sarawak Government Collieries. The terms proposed are objectionable in various ways:-\n\n(a) They are not sufficiently detailed e.g. nothing is said about clothing, sick leave, medical attendance, hours of work, or holidays. The local agent (Ngai Keo) has a Chinese version which deals with the first and last of these and shows a sliding scale of wages of which 50 cents per diem is the minimum.\n\n(b) The debt of $40 seems to be account passage-money, not, as is usual, an advance of wages. The latter seems to have been approved for various other contracts, though in theory the labourer has to be an absolutely free agent on arrival at his destination. In any case it seems desirable to have it stated that no indebtedness on the part of the labourer shall justify his detention after his contract period is up.\n\n(c) Passages should be paid back to the labourer's place of origin, or at least a fixed sum should be payable to him on arrival here to cover cost of repatriation.\n\n(d) The idea of putting boys under 18 into coal mines is not attractive.\n\n2.\n\nI suggest that we should write to the Government of Sarawak and request them to address us direct with full details if they want our assistance in recruiting labour for government undertakings.\n\n11th March, 1925.\n\n(sd.)

Early on the morning of the following day, the 1st June, there was further serious rioting on the Nanking Road. The trains were attacked, Europeans in passing motor-cars were insulted and the paving-stones were removed from the road and hurled at a fire-engine which had been brought into action in an endeavour to disperse the demonstrators. Seeing that the rioters were now entirely out of control, the police officer on the spot, Commissioner Beatty, gave the order to fire. Such was the ugly temper of the mob on this occasion that it was estimated that about three volleys had to be fired before the rioters began to disperse. The casualties were three Chinese killed and fourteen wounded.\n\n36. On the afternoon of the 1st June the Municipal Council declared a state of emergency in the International Settlement; this was equivalent to a proclamation of martial law and was accompanied by a warning to the Chinese explaining the reason for such action. Both documents were signed by the Secretary of the Municipal Council,\n\n37. Again, on the evening of the 2nd June, there was a further attack on an American mounted volunteer patrol from the upper floor of the New World buildings, which are situated on both sides of the Nanking Road, at the intersection with Tibet Road, and are connected by an underground passage; police reinforcements and armed volunteers were hurried up and, after a fusillade which lasted for approximately an hour and in which some thousands of rounds were exchanged on both sides, the buildings were broken into and large numbers of Chinese were arrested; most of these were soon released for lack of evidence, and the real gunmen in this instance were never apprehended.\n\n38. After the 4th June there were no fresh disorders. The strike movement was still spreading and public utility services were continuing to function with reduced staffs, supplemented by volunteer workers and naval ratings.\n\n39. On the 7th June the senior consul addressed a note to the Chinese Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, of which the following is an extract, in reply to the latter's two notes of protest: \"There also, as a matter of course, will be an investigation by the authorities concerned into the action of the police officer in question, besides which competent courts stand ready to deal with any complaints.\"\n\n40. By the 8th June Chinese crews of most coastal shipping of the port came out, and incitement to strike increased in intensity. By the 13th June all the seamen were out. On the 14th the situation was better, some of the defence forces being withdrawn. On the 15th June two British subjects, Mr. Mackenzie and Miss Duncan, were attacked by about seven Chinese while motoring near the settlement boundary, Mackenzie being killed and his companion being wounded.\n\n41. On the 27th June the situation took a turn for the better, banks and shops were reopened and processions were prohibited. The arrest of the Bolshevik agent, Dosser, and his wife, definitely established a link between the extreme Kuomintang party and Soviet intrigue. (See section of this report entitled \"Foreign Relations-Russia.\")\n\n42. On the 4th July an American patrol, coming to the assistance of an American police officer who was being attacked by a mob, shot one Chinese,\n\n43. On the 6th July the Municipal Council cut off the supply of electric power from all mills, except those engaged in the preparation of food-stuffs, on the ground that it was impossible to continue the normal supply with volunteer labour indefinitely. This step helped to make the Chinese authorities realise that they must expedite action for dealing with the agitators who were preventing the labourers from returning to work.\n\n44. On the 11th July, owing to the intimidation of their employees by the Strike Committee, the Municipal Waterworks were obliged to give notice that unless this ceased and they were allowed to replenish their stocks of coal, they would have to cut off the bulk of the water supply to Chapei.\n\n45. Signs of the financial straits of the Strike Committee were now no longer wanting, as was shown when Yu Ya-ching, the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, offered to call off the boycott on certain terms, such as the participation of foreigners in a general subscription for the benefit of those on strike, which was, of course, unacceptable.\n\n46. On the 12th August the negotiations which had been proceeding for some time between the Japanese consul-general and the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs for the settlement of the strike in the Japanese cotton-mills resulted in the signature\n\n13\n\nof an agreement for the termination of this dispute. The disastrous result, however, of any such agreement which resulted in the isolation of the British and other Bill owners, the solidarity which had up to now been displayed by mill owners of all nationalities and the fact that the execution of this Sino-Japanese mill strike agreement depended entirely on the resumption of the power supply by the Municipal Council, prevented the proposed agreement from being put into effect for the time being.\n\n47. On the 28th August the Council issued a notification terminating the state of emergency, and all landing parties were withdrawn.\n\n48. On the 7th September, during an anti-foreign memorial demonstration organised by students in the Chinese city, a procession endeavoured to enter the International Settlement. They surrounded the police, who had to fire, in consequence of which two persons were wounded.\n\n49. Following the closing of the general labour union by the Chinese authorities on the 18th September, the majority of industrial workers returned to work and an agreement was also reached for resumption of work in the British cotton mills. This may be said to have been the termination of the strike in local British industries at Shanghai.\n\n50. Yu Ya-ching and his small extremist following, far from accepting defeat, redoubled their efforts to maintain the strike of seamen in British ships. The two British shipping companies, however, continued to run as many ships as they could profitably employ, using either Russian crews or Chinese crews temporarily engaged in Hankow and Tien-tsin.\n\n51. At the end of the year the situation in Shanghai, although not altogether satisfactory, was rapidly becoming normal. There were recurrent outbursts on the part of the students and other agitators such as that which occurred in the middle of December when seventeen students were arrested. On the whole, however, the Chinese authorities were successful in checking further outbreaks by keeping the students and labourers' organisations under close surveillance.\n\n137", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 510357, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-503-7 Chinese labour- recruitment for work in coal mines in Sarawak 17-9-1926 - 14-2-1928", "page_number": 37, "title": "CO129-503-7 Chinese labour- recruitment for work in coal mines in Sarawak 17-9-1926 - 14-2-1928", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nSir,\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, \nHONGKONG. 30th December, 1926.\n\n25688/21 \nM.

The number of passengers carried is the direct concern of the compradore and he can generally avoid interference by the ship's officers in any question connected with passengers and cargo.\n\n40.\n\nUnder the present regime, generally speaking, nothing is done which might affect the passenger list adversely. Searching, for instance, if carried out on board at all, is very perfunctory. Only the more timid are searched. Virtually, except at Hong Kong and Singapore, no supervision of passengers is tolerated.\n\n41.\n\nFurther, what could only be termed \"abuses\" elsewhere are \"winked at\" on the China coast. In the smaller ships it is common to find that most of the available space is occupied by unofficial passengers who have bribed some member of the ship's company. These so-called passengers, who are virtually stowaways, may be housed in store-rooms, living-rooms or even coal-bunkers. In the case of the S.S. \"DELI MARU\" the cabin boys, no doubt unsuspectingly, sold their cabin to members of a pirate gang.\n\n42.\n\nSometimes stowaways, by means of bribery, obtain their passage by passing as members of the ship's company.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-521-2 Piracy in Chinese waters- anti-piracy measures 9-1-1930 - 10-4-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523305, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-522-10 Arms and Ammunition Amendment Ordinance 1929 20-12-1929 - 29-5-1930", "page_number": 8, "title": "CO129-522-10 Arms and Ammunition Amendment Ordinance 1929 20-12-1929 - 29-5-1930", "content_text": "No 553\n\nauswered Q\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nEnclosure 2.\n\nAned\n\nMy Lord,\n\nRECEIVED\n\n29 JAN 1930'\n\nCOL.

They will be very useful.\n\nI am glad to hear that the members appear to be reasonable people. I quite agree that it would certainly be fatal to attempt to keep them in blinkers, and I will see that nothing of the kind happens. I agree that it is rather awkward that the Chairman wishes to employ a \"secret agent\", but it cannot be helped. The danger, of course, is that he may get into wrong hands. People in the East, even more than in the West, are so often ready to give such a person the information that they think he would like to receive, regardless of its veracity.\n\nHowever, we will try and ensure that he gets reliable interpreters. It is a difficult question, and I am as anxious as anyone to have the thing properly aired, and to obtain the best advice.\n\nI have been somewhat leisurely collecting a certain amount of information regarding the\n\nSee 12858\n\n728550\n\n(expy cheam)\n\ncopy", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-3 Social hygiene- including trafficking in women & children- brothels- etc. 27-2-1930 - 13-4-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 531522, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-536-1 Estimates- 1932 3-9-1931 - 16-6-1933", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-536-1 Estimates- 1932 3-9-1931 - 16-6-1933", "content_text": "Page 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld zivil Hrvata at énézust ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnoliejai kankers of de Lepliktera\n\nPucke\n\nh\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the of\n\nBedret the Dizisiküre Coast Tue Inthet's bone where he met tarday approved, cuation fr North of people—savanta, buningan | varying tobaena duchas, kačzoaning the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Ammy and leaver saulker per- and above all the metomy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

The disease does not cause death, but is responsible for very serious loss to farmers by causing the loss of calves and of milk and by rendering animals sterile. Living animals may be shown by a blood agglutination test to be infected. Herds may achieve a comparatively high degree of immunity from this disease, either naturally or as a result of vaccination. Vaccination can usefully be adopted if the total eradication of disease by segregation is impracticable; but, if a living virus is used, vaccination should only be adopted in dealing with heavily infected herds (paragraphs 35-40).\n\n(7) The incidence of Johne's disease varies greatly throughout the country. In some districts, it is increasing and is causing considerable anxiety. It results in emaciation and, finally, in death. There is not yet a reliable agent for the diagnosis of the disease before clinical symptoms appear. There is no known cure (paragraphs 41–43).\n\n(8) Thirty per cent of the milking cattle in this country are probably infected with mastitis other than tubercular mastitis. Chronic streptococcal mastitis is responsible for 90 per cent of the cases. It gradually reduces the milk-producing powers of the infected animal (paragraphs 44–48).\n\n## Diseases in Man Associated with Cattle Diseases\n\n(9) The diseases of dairy cattle which are dangerous to man are bovine tuberculosis, contagious abortion, which is responsible for undulant fever, and those forms of mastitis which may cause the epidemic diseases that are associated with streptococcal infection. Milk originally pure may convey disease as a result of subsequent infection (paragraph 49).\n\n(10) Bovine tuberculosis is responsible for over 2,500 deaths annually among the human population in Great Britain, and for a still greater amount of serious illness. Most bovine tuberculosis in human beings is attributable to milk. At least 5 cows in every 1,000 yield milk infected with tuberculosis. As the result of the mixing of such milk with pure milk, over 5 per cent of samples from individual herds are infected. A very much larger percentage of the milk conveyed in large containers is infected. The degree of infection of milk when retailed is affected by the extent to which it has been treated. In London, an investigation by the London County Council showed that 3.2 per cent of samples of milk retailed are infected. In the four large cities of Scotland, the corresponding percentage has been estimated at 5-26. The bulking of milk is more likely to increase than to decrease the risk of infection to man (paragraphs 50-57).\n\n(11) Undulant fever, the disease associated with contagious abortion in cattle, is very rarely reported in Great Britain, though possibly the disease often passes unrecognised. Though it is important that farmers should not relax their efforts to reduce the extent to which their herds are infected with abortion, it is doubtful whether any measures that are practicable can be taken to reduce the incidence of undulant fever in man (paragraphs 58, 59).\n\n(12) Approximately 100 outbreaks of epidemic disease, attributable either to mastitis among cattle or to subsequent infection of milk by those handling it, have been recorded in this country since 1903. The most important outbreak occurred at Hove in 1929, when 1,000 families were affected and 65 deaths occurred. The most common epidemic diseases carried by milk are scarlet fever, enteric fever, diphtheria, paratyphoid, and septic sore throat. The reported outbreaks have not contributed much to the total incidence of the diseases in question, but the possibility that infection through milk is more extensive than appears from the outbreaks reported cannot be ruled out. The organisms responsible for these infections multiply rapidly in milk, and the bulking of milk contributes enormously to the chances of infection (paragraphs 60–62).\n\n## Milk in Human Diet and the Effects of Pasteurisation on It\n\n(13) Milk holds a unique position amongst the foods of animal origin, as it contains the three proximate principles of a diet, protein, fat, and carbohydrate, in addition to an adequate supply of inorganic constituents in such proportions as to be peculiarly adapted for the period of active growth. Cow's milk is not the ideal nutriment for the human infant, as milk secreted by the female of any species is peculiarly fitted for the rate of growth of the young of that species. Although mother's milk is unquestionably the best for the infant, cow's milk can be counted as a good substitute, provided that it is pure (paragraphs 63–71).\n\n(14) The evidence available to-day leaves the conviction that any recognisable changes of quality induced in milk by pasteurisation rightly conducted are too small to outweigh the great advantage inherent in the protection from infection which the treatment secures and in the public confidence it inspires. It is sometimes suggested that there may be subtle changes not revealed in the state of present knowledge, but policy should not be influenced by vague possibilities which established evidence makes improbable (paragraphs 72–98).\n\n(15) Children reared on milk should be supplied with fruit juice, whether the milk is raw or pasteurised. The custom seems now to have become common, though not universal. Through the winter, it is also highly desirable that cod liver oil should be administered in small doses to children under twelve months reared on cow's milk (paragraphs 99-101).\n\n## Administrative Measures in Force in Regard to Cattle Diseases and the Milk Supply\n\n(16) The tuberculosis order of 1925 requires that animals yielding tuberculous milk or showing clinical signs of tuberculosis should be...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 554523, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-562-23 Koshu Koshi Kabushiki Kaisha- suspected activity as Japanese agents 2-4-1937 - 25-8-1937", "page_number": 1, "title": "CO129-562-23 Koshu Koshi Kabushiki Kaisha- suspected activity as Japanese agents 2-4-1937 - 25-8-1937", "content_text": "## 1937\n3381\n**Kochu Koshi Kabushiki Kaisha**\n(China Development Co.

Colonial Secretary.\n\n1. A Japanese named Giichi YASUMURA, accompanied by his wife named Toshiko YASUMURA, arrived in Hong Kong on 7.2.36 from Canton and took up residence in a flat at 16, Macdonnell Road. The Mitsui Bussan Kaisha Ltd., Mess is also at this address. He described himself as an employee of the South Manchurian Railway and stated that he was in Hong Kong for the purpose of studying English and Cantonese.\n\n2. He is evidently the representative in Hong Kong of the Kabushiki Kaisha Koshu Koshi or Hing Chung Co., (China Development Co. Ltd.), a subsidiary organisation of the South Manchurian Railway, as he is known to be in communication with the headquarters of this organisation in Dairen and with the branch office at 65, British Concession, Shameen. As far as is known, there is no office in Hong Kong.\n\n3. He was reported in November, 1936, by a Canton source to be the head of a newly formed \"South China Aggression Party\", but we have been unable to obtain any information about this organisation.\n\n4. YASUMURA makes frequent trips to Canton and is continually receiving reports from Dairen and Shameen dealing with political and economic problems in China with particular reference to Kwangtung, Kwangsai and Hainan.

Finance,\n\n83. All expenditure connected with the reception, housing, maintenance and repatriation of the Shanghai refugees has, in the first instance, been borne by the Hong Kong Government and has been debited to an Advance Account. On four occasions an advance of $50,000 has been placed at my disposal under Advance Warrant.\n\n84. As the organization of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, was employed in the preparation of the Jockey Club Stand at Happy Valley, all accounts were met by the Company and were submitted after they had been passed by the Company's auditors. This arrangement was continued after the removal to Lai Chi Kok; these accounts being under the charge of Mr. F. C. Barry throughout. At the beginning, it was imperative that work should be done and stores supplied at once. Much hard work was put in by Mr. C. J. Triggs, Engineer of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, in the preparation of Happy Valley and later of Lai Chi Kok, and by Miss R. C. P. Xavier of the Purchasing Department of the Hotel Company, who supervised the supply of linen and stores.\n\n85. At the Central British School, the initial equipment was kindly lent by Mr. D. M. Richards, Headmaster of the School, assisted by his wife, supervised all purchases for that Centre. The Military Authorities supplemented by the purchase of sheets, pillows, etc.\n\n86. The catering at Happy Valley was placed in the hands of Messrs. Lane, Crawford, Ltd. (Café Wiseman), who originally agreed to supply three full meals a day at $1.00 each. As mentioned earlier, this charge was later reduced to 75 cents a meal. Meal tickets were used at Happy Valley, and payment was made only on the number of tickets presented, so that the actual cost per head per day was somewhat less than $1.82.\n\n87. Catering at the new Central British School and later at the old School was in the hands of Messrs. Kay Lee, who agreed to supply three meals a day for the sum of $1.35 for adults and 65 cents for children under 15. This, however, did not include any supply of milk for the children, and \"Klim\" was purchased separately. Gas was used as the heating agent at both new and old Central British School, and the caterer paid one-third of the amount consumed.\n\n88. At Sham Shui Po, during the short time it was occupied, Messrs. Kay Lee also supplied meals at the rate of $1.35 per day.\n\n89. Prices rose in Hong Kong somewhat sharply at the end of August, due undoubtedly to the considerable increase in the population, both British and Chinese. In arranging for the catering at Lai Chi Kok, I considered it essential that fresh milk should be supplied for the children, and while agreeing to continue at the rate of $1.35 per day for adults, Messrs. Kay Lee submitted that the same rate should apply also to children under 15. Tables and chairs were hired for the dining room from the same contractor, and as the price of coal was rising very rapidly, it was agreed that $12 a day should be paid to cover both items.\n\n90. At Lai Chi Kok, a few orthodox Jews (men) were allowed to have their own mess and were granted a subsistence allowance of $1.00 a head per day.\n\nThe Staff Quarters at Lai Chi Kok were also granted a subsistence allowance to run their own catering in lieu of joining with the general messing arrangements.\n\n91. The following is a classification of the accounts, but it must be noted that in many respects this classification is fallacious—for example, equipment bought while the Happy Valley Centre was open was later transferred to Lai Chi Kok and used there. It is impossible, therefore, to show the exact cost of each Centre.\n\n13\n\n92.

Sec. will remember as he was also present. The meeting took place in Government House.\n\nAs matters became worse, I determined on the course of cancelling all recognitions already granted to agencies, and then inviting the agencies still in good standing to ask for recognition again on new and stricter terms. A copy of the new terms of recognition I shall submit; the conditions as now imposed deal with three principal things: the method of submission of applications (so devised as to prevent as far as possible competition between agencies, with the resultant temptation to bribe my staff, as had already been done); restriction of the charges to be made for their services; and supervision of their practice by the General Agent.\n\nAs a pendant, I, at the same time, made with the latter a contract, already referred to by the Accountant General in the terms of disapproval which incline me to the conclusion that he had completely misinterpreted its scope. I lay before the Commission a verbatim copy of that agreement.\n\nThis new system has apparently been the cause of more criticism than any other one detail in my administration. The criticism began almost immediately after the coming into operation of the new agency system, and was first voiced in an article in the Chinese press signed with the name of a person who had just previously tried to bribe one of my staff to secure help in obtaining the general agency for himself.\n\nThereafter the criticism became anonymous, but its perennial source in the ranks of those whom I have elsewhere called disappointed racketeers, may be legitimately inferred from the fact that Government is called upon to close down an institution to which no one resorts except voluntarily, and which will, as a commercial venture, itself apply the closure if it is, as alleged, inefficient and incapable of real service to the public who go to it.

I am afraid that the news about the abandonment of the automatic increments scheme will be a blow to some people here. We will, however, do the best we can.\n\n2. Before I left London you asked me to let you know from time to time, in a general way, how things were going. I think, on the whole, not too badly. Just lately in China our rehabilitation effort has had a good press, though with the mess in Shanghai and Canton as the main standards of comparison, a comparatively good reputation was perhaps not very difficult in the end to achieve. Still, after the beating we have taken since 1941 from the newspapers of China, it is not unpleasant to see something British receive relatively favourable comment.\n\n3. It was odd coming back to Hong Kong a sick and seedy shadow of the colony I knew. It was odder still to accustom oneself to a community where words like \"jeep\" and \"D-day\" provoked stares of blank incomprehension, where one recognised old friends mainly by their voices and where Chinese persisted in bowing like Japanese. The town was dead - deserted streets, unvexed harbour, shuttered shops: it is beginning to look different now, and we fancy we can almost feel the city coming alive from day to day. I like to think that we have made the most of what little we have, and I would like still more to be able to assure you that our efforts are solely responsible for the gratifying transformation. I suspect, however, that the truth is a good deal simpler: if you give them half a chance, you cannot keep the Chinese down.\n\n4. The task has proved both simpler and more difficult than I envisaged during the London planning. Once on the spot, you quickly perceive there are a few things you must handle or perish. Socrates or Will Hay or somebody said one becomes a builder by building and a harpist by harping: similarly I suppose one becomes a rehabilitator by rehabilitating. Currency, labour, public health and food admit of no mistakes. In the first six weeks I bitterly resented anything that destroyed concentration on these and the amiable advisers who descended on us from time to time were not wholly welcome. Nor were the people who quoted directives at awkward moments.\n\n5. There are tangles in almost every branch of the administration which will not, in my opinion, be straight by 1947 even if we get out teams of professional untanglers from home in due course. The thing is to put such tangles firmly out of one's mind for the time being and get on with the job. To do this needs a kind of administrative toughness which seems to develop as one goes along.

Relations with the services, about which we were warned repeatedly in London, are so far excellent. Admiral Harcourt is a very fine man: he pretends to know completely nothing about colonies or their administration. He refers to the Chinese as \"Chinamen\" with a fascinating lack of offence and he greets his bewildered visitors of all nationalities by saying \"Glad to have you aboard\". As to running the colony, I have had so free a hand that I have only now thought to ask for full delegation as a matter of form. My only anxiety is when he and the G.O.C get their heads together on some scheme usually relating to which they call \"foreign policy\": they are sometimes pretty far committed before we catch up with them, but so far no harm has been done.\n\n7. The colony is ready for civil government, except in the matter of staff. I depend heavily on the services. I have not, for instance, even been to the New Territories yet: the Commandos run the islands and most of the Northern and Southern Districts, though I have one District Officer and two apprentices doing what they can on specialised duties like land resumption.\n\n8. I see that February 1st has been set as the date for the change-over to civil administration, and I see no difficulty about that provided staff is available. C.-in-C. is particularly anxious about the police who are sadly depleted, but somehow carry on under Sansom who never gives up. We shall have to remake the force from the ground up and I hope Sansom will be allowed a fairly free hand. There are proposals on the stocks. The one thing that does strike me about the coming change-over is that it seems likely to coincide with open manifestations of trouble secretly brewing now. Labour, for one thing: and for another, the hundred and one invidious tasks that must be tackled as soon as staff are available. Such are the settlement of war and damage claims, the payment of wages to those who left the colony and the adjustment of allowances and pensions paid to Hong Kong refugees in various parts of China and Macau: the stopping of wholesale relief (which I am clamping down on now) and the discharge of Government's responsibilities to Volunteers and other essential workers in the way of finding jobs, etc. I am appalled at the cost of the Volunteers to the community - something in the neighbourhood of $20,000,000 since 1941: it will be politically most unpopular, but we shall have to be firm with the Volunteers and I am starting now.\n\n9. All these and many more are matters likely to provoke resentment. There is no popular way of doing what we have to do. My point is that the reactions will be beginning to catch up with us just about the time when civil government is restored. I would expect strikes too in the spring or sooner, when labour has recovered its nerve and absorbed the present atmosphere and temper of the remainder of the Far East. We really cannot expect Hong Kong to be for long the one spot in this area where strikes do not occur. All this does not seem to me to be a reason for postponing civil government - in fact, I am certain the sooner we get out of uniform the better - but it does perhaps supply a warning of what the new government must be prepared to face.

He likes Hong Kong and finds the whole set-up interesting and stimulating. He would stay on here willingly if he got a suitable chance, but he quite understands about Butters. No action need be taken now but if the desirability of resolving Follows's present uncertainties could be kept in mind, he would be satisfied.

Admiral Harcourt reserves to himself the power to issue new laws and presumably orders, with the power of veto, but with that proviso, His Excellency now delegates all governmental authority to the Chief Civil Affairs Officer, and in so doing, pays a high tribute by implication to the rehabilitation achievements of Brigadier D. M. MacDougall, and his principal assistants. The set-up undergoes no important change in its relation to the community at large, as far as we can see, and it is a far stride from further concentration of authority in the C.C.A.O. to the re-establishment of civil government, as commonly understood. In any case, it is doubtful whether the Colony is by any means ready for such a change-over, and it is quite certain that the administration is not.\n\nBrigadier D. M. MacDougall, Chief of Hong Kong's civil affairs, in an interview in Macao stated that an attempt was being made to implement the general British policy progressively by utilising local people, and he indicated the recent appointment to local key posts in Hong Kong, especially in the law courts, of Chinese, Portuguese, and other officers. The Brigadier is known as a man of broad outlook: moreover, he was out of Hong Kong during the occupation and in constant touch with Whitehall, so that his statement must be assumed to represent part of the new Colonial Office idea, which aims at creating greater contentment generally in territories like Hong Kong. The indications which he gives are very welcome to the permanent Hong Kong residents. They encourage again the hope of securing full recognition of the existence of the Hong Kong citizen. It was appropriate that the Brigadier should have made his remarks at Macao, for there is buried that great old Hong Kong citizen, the late Mr J. P. Braga, who died during the war. Mr Braga fought strenuously for justice for the \"local lads.\" There remains much to be done that can be more smoothly and swiftly accomplished by executive decision and action, and months' extension of a benevolent dictatorship will do the Colony no harm. As we have said before, and it scarcely needs emphasis, Hong Kong will not meekly acquiesce in an attempted resuscitation of the worn-out governmental machine which let us down so badly in 1941.\n\nThe explanation must be made that we are still in the period of transition back to normal, and there is a natural tendency to avoid commitments which may prejudice the future. At the same time, it must be said that not all of the officials who form the civil administration have yet divested themselves of the \"treaty port mind\": and the danger is that, as old officials return, they will seek to restore old conditions, and that much of the local benefit implicit in the new outlook of the Imperial Government will be lost. This will mean not only the perpetuation of injustice but also the reduction of administrative efficiency. Moreover, this Colony never afforded easily its expensive home staffs; and if we are to go back to that luxury, with its sterling salaries, long holidays, privilege, and snobbery, Hong Kong will again be heavily handicapped and the Hong Kong citizen will again be loaded with grievances against the Colonial system.\n\nA radical reform of the administrative system with provision for giving the people of Hong Kong a greater voice in public affairs is essential. To say more on this point would be to go over old ground, but it is perhaps necessary to repeat that it is desirable, before civil government is re-established, that the framework of the new constitution be clearly defined. The civil administration that takes over the Colony can be built up to fit within it.\n\nPreaching at the Cathedral on Armistice Day, the Bishop of Victoria, the Rt. Rev. R. O. Hall, touched upon the same subject. There is probably no more courageous, clear-thinking, or far-seeing man amongst us: certainly none more sympathetic and humane. His reference to the war service of the Volunteers and the heavy losses of \"local boys\" was in keeping with local thought. He too condemned the social and other discrimination to which the Hong Kong-born have always been subjected, and he added, \"Under God, we dare not stay in Hong Kong unless it is our purpose to build here, as part of the great Pacific civilisation of the future, a city in which truth and freedom and justice are not tainted by national pride or racial fear.\" If we put the case at its lowest, political necessity alone demands that we build up here a Hong Kong citizenry. We cannot expect full loyalty as long as we neglect the local community and as long as we refuse to give the locally born full opportunity to rise to the highest planes in their professions and in the Civil Service. That must mean absolute equality, in education, in employment, in the formulation of administrative plans, and in all our social provisions.\n\n13", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 581757, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "page_number": 14, "title": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "content_text": "**(CAA2)**\n\n**PERSONAL.**\n\n141\n\n**CIVIL AFFAIRS HEADQUARTERS,**\n**LOWER ALBERT ROAD.**\n**HONGKONG.**\n\n7\n\n21st November, 1945.\n\nG.E.J.

E. J. Gent, Esq., C.M.G., D.S.O., O.B.E., M.C., LONDON. \n\nDear Gent,\n\nThe trouble about coping 15 hours a day with succeeding problems (each of which appears more immediate and ticklish than the last), is that no time is left for the business of reporting. I hope that I have kept you sufficiently informed by telegram, and I have sent weekly \"appreciation\" signals painting the broader picture.\n\n2. Wallinger's report of his Hong Kong visit enclosed with the Ambassador's despatch to F.O. of 5th October may have caused you to wonder about several points not touched on in the telegrams. As in most reports (and books) written by week-end visitors, there are inaccuracies.\n\n3. I trust, for example, you will not think that I waited for any suggestion from Wallinger before laying on arrangements to get firewood from Borneo. About the first thing I did here after I had sized up the situation was to persuade the Admiral to agree to special arrangements by which Bass went to Borneo for firewood, Holmes to Shanghai for coal, and a Frenchman to Hongay for coal, peanut oil and anything else he could lay his hands on. The success of these jaunts is not yet known.\n\n4. You may have been surprised too to read that \"all executive decisions\" were taken by a committee presided over by the Admiral's Chief of Staff. This is very wide of the mark. The committee referred to forms a sort of clearing house for service matters, etc., and for some weeks now it has been seldom raised. Major matters are attended to not by me but by my deputy. Up to the present, as regards executive decisions, I have been exercising a form of personal government through the Admiral, who takes the possibly optimistic view that I was sent out because I knew the job and the Colony, and he shows every disposition to accept my advice on all save service matters. Last week he formed a Military Council of the G.O.C., A.O.C., the Commodore and myself, which meets weekly under his own chairmanship, so I may have a better chance of spreading the responsibility a little more in future.\n\n5. The reference in Wallinger's report to the S.C.A. developed from a flanking attack made on the dignity and scope of that office by John Keswick, in which Wallinger later, with proper discretion, joined. This does not seem to me to be the time to consider amendments in the functions of the S.C.A., and it is aggravating to be compelled to take time off from the all-engrossing task of getting rice, peanut oil and coal into the Colony by fair means or foul, to parry thrusts of this sort. A copy of my improvised stalling operation is enclosed as a matter of interest.\n\n6. In view of my own case-history I would forgive you if you smiled at my present predicament. So many people come so many hundreds of miles on triple A priority to tell me that a new China has been born, and that Hong Kong is, as it were, no longer an island. Everyone seems now to say and to think what would have been usefully said and thought any time from 1937 to 1941. But this is late in 1945 and the situation has changed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 581760, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "page_number": 17, "title": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "content_text": "(C.A.A.1)\n\nNo. 2\n\n17\n\n**CIVIL AFFAIRS ADMINISTRATION,**\nHong Kong & Shanghai Bank Building,\nHong Kong.\n19/10/45.\n\nww friends: now she has more candidates for friendship than she knows what to do with. Our cards now in Hong Kong are the same as they always were - courtesy, efficiency, and usefulness but some of these chaps would have you fawning all over the Chinese. The Chinese are like any other people, and within limits, they will like us only insofar as we are useful - and that can be very, very useful indeed. The sooner we realise this and work at the job, the better. The lighter forms of the gesture and protestation of friendship are a pre-war luxury. The 1941 technique no longer serves.\n\n7.\n\nThe pace of the work here continues to be killing. Today, at one fell swoop, I have decided the scope and principles of a Rent Restriction Proclamation, the scope and principles of a Vegetable Marketing Scheme similar to Herklots's Fishing Scheme, the necessity for recommending the creation of a Port Director (subject to London and Coleman's approval), met the Governor of Macao, discussed principles with the Chinese Banking Commissioner for Kwangtung, Kwangsi, and Fukien, and heaven knows what else besides. I will not pretend that I am not enjoying myself, but I am very tired, and I hope relief comes soon. I know that everything possible is being done from the London end, but we are still having to do the best we can with less than 20% of our establishment. The mistakes we have committed will be obvious enough in due course: I need not describe them to you just now, and in any case, I am not very sure what they are.\n\n8.\n\nRelations with the Services are excellent. In more than the conventional sense, the Colony has been lucky in Admiral Harcourt and General Festing. I have crossed swords heavily with the A.O.C. on air policy, and this is the only issue in sight upon which I may have to use my right of direct communication with the Colonial Office, if pushed to it. The A.O.C's tough policy of bargaining and reciprocity will leave Hong Kong with an empty airport.\n\n9.\n\nFollows has arrived and will be a great help, but it will take him a couple of months at least to find his feet. What one likes about him at first sight is that he is completely undismayed by the amazing tangle with which he is faced.\n\n10.\n\nOn the whole, I think things go not too badly. We have taken large chances and used much bluff on immigration (see attached), price control, and the like. I have backed Herklots to the limit on the fish business, and though it is early days yet, it looks as if the gamble had come off. If there are any honours or decorations going for work in the Colony by released internees, I hope Herklots and Butters will be at the top of the list. A full report of the fish scheme is on its way home.\n\n11.\n\nI have had to overwork my meagre staff most cruelly. The mainstays are, of course, Thomson, Hazlerigg (who has had to give full-time to the potentially explosive repatriation business), Strickland (a god-send!) and Sansom, who continues in some fashion of his own to make bricks without straw. Delamaine has been invaluable also - would you thank Dunn for putting us in the way of getting him?\n\nYours,\nM.M.

W. Festing, C.B.E., D.S.O., HONG KONG.\n\nDear General Festing,\n\n1. I feel that perhaps I ought to clear up the discussion we had late last night at Government House about immigration policy. The morning ceremony had played havoc with my day, with the result that by 11 p.m. I was very tired and perhaps did not make the position as clear as it might be.\n\n2. As you know, H.M.G. policy, as laid down in the directives to the C.-in-C. and to myself, is to limit the influx of civilian population. There is already in the statute book an ordinance forbidding entry into Hong Kong without a permit or duly validated passport. That ordinance remains effective until formally repealed.\n\n3. Limitation of immigration (in 1941 the population of this Colony touched the 2,000,000 mark) was carried out by a staff of, I think, half a dozen European officers and about 80 subordinates.\n\n4. Owing to acute personnel difficulties, we cannot attempt actual or active immigration measures for the time being. We have resorted instead to bluff. If all the supplies in sight materialised (a somewhat optimistic premise), we could support a population of about 800,000. Movements of population in South China, once they start, are apt to be on a large scale; pre-war it was estimated that about 500,000 people came and went each month to and from Hong Kong.\n\n5. The fact that Chinese are making enquiries in Canton and in Macao shows that they are still to some extent restrained from entry by reason of the immigration regulations still on the statute book. My own estimate of the numbers who have been, as it were, bluffed out of starting for Hong Kong would be in the neighbourhood of 100,000. Were any hint given that official policy here tended to abandon limitation of immigration then I know from experience that we would be swamped in no time.\n\n6. Movements of a thousand or so a day, such as takes place now, do not worry us over much: but when the population touches the million mark then, unless the world supply situation (and ours with it) has spectacularly improved, we shall have to limit the influx by means more effective than mere provisions on the statute book. I pray that by then we shall have staff available for the job.\n\n7. I attach a copy of a message sent to Lt.-Col. Hooper in Canton and a copy of a notice which is being issued to the press. Mr. Reeves from Macau is arriving at the week-end, I understand, and so the Macau thing can be fixed direct with him.\n\n8. Yours,\n\nD.M.

Relations with China are all important for Hong Kong, and the Colony can neglect no means of equipping herself to develop and foster these in conformity with H.K.G's policy.\n\n2. The Constitution of Hong Kong is under consideration in London at this moment, and I was myself able to take part in the initial discussions last spring. I had the opportunity of discussing the technique of China/Hong Kong relations with the British Ambassador in Chungking fairly extensively during the period 1939/41, and later with Mr. Gent, the Assistant Under Secretary, at the Colonial Office in charge of Far Eastern colonies.\n\n3. Mr. Keswick's note is a reinforcement of views already widely advocated and largely accepted. They will be found reflected, I think, in the structure of the New Civil Government when it succeeds the present Military Administration.\n\n4. As to immediate action, I am sure that our line is to press:\n| Action | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | for the appointment now of a British Consul in Canton |\n| (b) | for frequent visits to Hong Kong by British Embassy staff, and equally frequent return visits by Hong Kong Government staff to China. |\n\n5.

Col. Owen Hughes in Hong Kong dated 9th October, 1945 to a Staff Officer of C.A.4.\n\n24\n\nOur trip was interesting but most exasperating! We had five days in Karachi.\n\nOn arrival at Colombo we got split. The Brig and Co. went to Madras and flew direct to H.K. by Catalina. The other half went via Calcutta. It was just as well I did so because on arrival at Calcutta on Saturday evening they would otherwise have been utterly lost. Fortunately, I knew the ropes.\n\nThere was transport at Dum Dum airport for some V.I.Ps, so I said it must be for us and took it. I could not get on to Air H.Q. so took the party to the Grand Hotel which I knew was a transit camp and we booked in there for the night. (At Dum Dum, I met Dicky O'Brien the following day on his way back from Burma).\n\nThen I got on to the air boys who had not even heard of us. I don't know when the signal from Kandy reached them (it was not until after our departure) but I used all my powers of persuasion and got a Hallifax the following day to fly us over the Hump to Kunming.\n\nWe flew direct to Kunming and met one of the first parties of P.O.Ws to be flown out. We spent the night at Kunming and flew into Hongkong the next day in a Dakota (with a Jeep on board). It was a strange sensation to be back and landing on a greatly improved Airport improved by the sweat of our P.O.Ws.\n\nI was able to help and advise the large body of non-civil servants who were completely in the dark about what a C.A. Administration means and how they stood. One of my first jobs was to address a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. I was bombarded with all sorts of questions and being trained in the Directorate (and the only type in our outfit who does understand thoroughly the implications of C.A.) I had most of the answers. But there was one I could not deal with squarely and it is a very important one - that of compensation. Government employees are protected and back pay is assured but for the rest, who have lost anything up to 100% and upon whom we largely depend to get the place going again when the time comes, there is so far nothing. I pointed out that the British Taxpayer can't take it on, being already bled pretty well white and that is appreciated, but the problem remains to be faced. The financial nabobs at home will have to contrive some form of easy term loan to assist them on to their feet again.\n\nOf course, we did not know quite what to expect to find here. Certainly, we never hoped for electric light, a comfortable hotel, six papers, two English and 4 Chinese, and the old Government of 1941 complete with Essential Services such as food control, firmly established. This Puppet Government, as we call it, has put up a wonderful show and it was surprising to find how much their physical condition was improved after a fortnight of good food and freedom.\n\nIt is very unfortunate that we did not have time to shake down as a C.A. Unit before being launched into the world. It is unfortunate that more of us don't really understand the meaning of C.A. The main thing is to lay a reasonable foundation and to be able to hand over a stable concern to the Civil Government when they take over. We probably shall but I see a lot of headaches and hard work ahead.\n\nI wish...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 581768, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "page_number": 25, "title": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "content_text": "I wish I could have arrived with the Fleet and the 3000 R.A.F. airfield construction troops who had to take over Kowloon, disarm 18,000 Nips, and then prevent the damnable Chinese looters from cleaning the place up.

The Admiral met me on the jetty and took me to Gov. House, hideously rebuilt by the Japanese: entering it was somehow much like meeting a hitherto respectable old lady turned painted and wanton, with too much rouge and too obviously a lifted face.\n\nAlso, the Colony is seedy and run-down. Apart from that, it looks fairly normal on the surface. But nothing really stirs. I don't know what I expected, but I was not prepared for the hush that hangs over it. All F.E. cities teem, but not H.K. At the moment, it carries on, partly from the dying momentum of the Japs. I think the game is to keep it from stopping altogether.\n\nThe first thing was the currency: you will have seen the signals. I took a risk and pushed out the yen before we were quite ready (the whole place had been running quite happily on a yen basis for three weeks after the collapse!). The notes have not arrived in any quantity as yet, and we have started the change-over with a very slender stock. The next two weeks will show whether this was a mistake. Butters was a tower of strength - much the most vigorous-minded man to come out of Stanley.\n\nThe next thing was Quislings. At the Admiral's direction, I informed Kotewall that he was to withdraw from public life immediately and await investigation. (He had been frequenting Govt. offices unabashed since the Japs left.) He seemed quite impenitent.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 581777, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "page_number": 34, "title": "CO129-594-6 Brigadier D M MacDougall- letters to Gent on civil affairs administration 15-9-1945 - 24-12-1945", "content_text": "## 34.\n\nThe situation with the impenitent individual is dire; he is very sure of his defence.

I could not get at the currency situation until this was cleared up, nor anything else. The internees did wonders; some performed miracles, but by the time we arrived, their small and carefully hoarded strength was waning, and the situation was beginning to catch up. Everything was made ten times more difficult, and yet, seeing what they had attempted and in part accomplished, one was proud to be a H.K. man. Patience, ingenuity, and a bucket of tact on all sides finally showed a way out, and you will be interested, I think, to see Strickland's somewhat unorthodox Proclamation which turned the trick yesterday. All the internees ought to go home at once; they do themselves and their interests nothing but harm by remaining. We are getting them out as fast as the ships go, which isn't very fast.

C. Chau, Manager of the Emporium Ballroom, when he was interviewed by a *Post and Telegraph* reporter.\n\nMr Chau said that by a coincidence in all cases the acid was thrown on the lower part of the girls' dresses and made from behind their backs. The various cases occurred mostly between the hours of 7.30 and 8.30 p.m. when the girls were going to their work, and only one case happened at 11 a.m. in daytime. He said one girl suffered burns to her back and another suffered similar burns on her leg. The first incident, added Mr Chau, occurred about three weeks ago and the last case was reported to the Police last Sunday. All these cases were reported to the Police, who are still making enquiries.\n\nMr Chau said that so far as he knew no arrests had been made and no-one was in a position to state why such attacks were made.\n\nMoscow says the British provoked the Cairo rioting.

It had been injured by a passing lorry. She went in and informed her mother, who came out, but the pig was gone. Following information she had received, the complainant went to the accused's village, where she found them slaughtering the pig. She recognised the pig as hers and asked them to return it. Upon their refusing, she went and reported the matter to the Police. When the Police arrived, the accused were cutting up the remnants of the pig.

D. Latimer at the Kowloon Summary Court yesterday on a charge of larceny of a cow from outside No. 5 Kuk Tin Street, Un Long, the property of Mam Pak Ng-bong. He pleaded not guilty.\n\nThe complainant was called as the first witness and stated that he was a cattle dealer in Un Long. At 3 a.m. on Sunday he was asleep in his house. He had tied up his three cows outside. On waking, he found that his cows were no longer tied outside. He therefore made a search but failed to find them. He then made a report of his loss to the Police at the Ping Shan Police Station. At 7 a.m. he returned to his house and found two of his cows tied outside once more. Also, he received certain information so he went to the Ping Shan Police Station again and reported to Detective Sub-Inspector Rothwell. Then accompanied by the Police he went to Lo Fau Shan, where the third cow was recovered outside a house belonging to the accused. This was at about 10 a.m.\n\nThe second witness was P.C.C. 560 who stated that at about 9 a.m. on Sunday, on instructions given by Detective Sub-Inspector Rothwell, he went with the complainant to recover a cow which the complainant had reported lost. They recovered it from outside the accused's house.\n\nThe accused was found guilty and sentenced to six months hard labour. The cow was to be returned to the complainant.\n\nDetective Sub-Inspector Rothwell prosecuted.\n\n## ESCAPE FROM HOSPITAL\n\nChan Hung, an alleged house-breaker, was captured 15 minutes later at about 11.15 p.m. on Monday night in Waterloo Road near Peace Avenue.

From there Dr King reached Kukong.\n\nDr Woo, introducing the speaker, said that Lieut-Col King was formerly Professor of Gynaecology at Hong Kong University and at present was Assistant Director of Medical Services.\n\nA large attendance of members and their friends were present to hear the talk, and visiting Rotarians welcomed by the President, Dr Arthur Woo, were Messrs W. K. Way (Chungking), Y. K. Chow (Mukden), Peter Y. Kwok (Singapore), and H. Kaddorie (Shanghai).\n\nRotarian Kwok brought a message of greeting from the Singapore Club which, he said, had re-commenced functioning shortly after the establishment of the British Military Administration. There was at present a membership of about 70. Though no luncheon or dinner meetings were held owing to the difficult food situation, the Club held weekly tea meetings.\n\nRotarian Kadoorie also conveyed the greetings of the Shanghai Club which was holding meetings fortnightly, he said.\n\nThe Secretary, Rotarian T. E. Jackson, announced that the meeting next Tuesday would be a closed one, and one of the main topics of discussion would be their community-service.\n\nGuests welcomed were Messrs K. Crawford, J. Wilson, Kwok Chan, D. Djoung, W. Stoker, D. I. Bosanquet, Comdr Kirby, Lieut-Col T. W. Ware, Lieut-Col Y. S. Wan, Col Luke T. C. McDouall, Wai Lee, Messrs J. Man-wai and Major R. E. Farrell.\n\n### Dr Gordon King's Story\n\nLieut-Col Gordon King said:\n\n\"I had early been relieved of my duties as Medical Officer in charge of the Relief Hospital, but I was still able to do a certain amount of work in one of the other hospitals where I had some very loyal friends. Soon after the internment of a third of my colleagues, my position in this hospital was made quite untenable by an appointee of the Japanese, who made it quite clear to me that my visits would not long be tolerated.\n\n\"After considering all the possible means of exit I came to the conclusion that the greatest chance of success lay in finding a guide who would take me out by the East River route. I should have been entirely at a loss without the help of two Chinese friends and former students to whom I shall never be able adequately to express my gratitude. Through their aid, an agreement was made with a reliable man and all preparations were made. At first, I was to be disguised as a coolie, but later (somewhat to my relief) it was decided that it would be better for me to dress in shabby European clothes. A supply of food sufficient to last a week, together with a razor, a towel, and a sleeping bag were to be carried by the guide, and a suitcase full of clothes and other necessaries was to follow later if a way could be found. I was, of course, committed to complete secrecy about the whole affair.\n\n\"Just before dawn on February 10, 1942, I left my house, dressed in a shabby old raincoat, wearing an old felt hat and carrying a Chinese umbrella in my hand, met my escort at an appointed place and took an early tram to the Star Ferry. It was scarcely light, but already numerous people were crossing over. The two of us were both fully occupied and then quietly slipped on to the boat.\n\n\"On the Kowloon side, I mingled with the crowd, and, by dropping my head and shoulders and pulling my hat well down over my eyes, managed to leave the ferry without attracting the attention of the Japanese guards who were busily engaged in searching the passengers.\n\n\"My decision to escape from Hong Kong was made at an early date after the capitulation. Several factors influenced me in reaching this decision, and I think I can best set them before you in their chronological order.\n\n\"First of all, I had tried to carry on medical work for nearly a year under the Japanese regime in North China. In Hong Kong, after the surrender, I found that, as far as medical work was concerned, my position was very much worse than it had been in the North.\n\n\"The final spark which fired my determination was provided by an unfortunate encounter with the Japanese Gendarmerie over the cutting down of some trees. In the University Relief Hospital, for which I was responsible during the war, we had run completely out of fuel and we had no means of cooking for some 500 patients and staff unless some trees in the compound were felled for this purpose.\n\n\"Towards the end of January, however, the Japanese decided to transfer the University community to Stanley whither the majority of the internees had already been sent. I was then with Cheeloo University and was the Medical Superintendent of the University Hospital in Tsinan when most of my colleagues were transferred to Stanley. Before his departure, the Vice-Chancellor made it clear to me that the conditions under which we had been interned in the University had ceased to exist, and that as a servant of the University, I was entirely a free agent in making my future plans.\n\n\"During the months that ensued, I quickly realised how impossible it was, even as a servant of the University, to carry on medical work under the Japanese, and I decided that I should be doing much more useful work either in Hong Kong or in Free China. Towards the end of 1938, I was appointed to a post in the University of Hong Kong, and it was with very great relief that I left Shantung.\n\n\"After several requests, permission was finally obtained from the senior officer of the Japanese military unit which was billeted in the University, and three large trees were felled at dawn the next day. The trees were being cut up in the courtyard of one of the emergency hospital buildings when I was hurriedly summoned to the scene, and there I found the chief of the newly formed Gendarmerie with a small party of his men and an interpreter. The officer was livid with rage; he gave me no opportunity to explain and asked me who had given authority for the trees to be felled, and when I told him that a military officer in the compound had done so, he asked me to produce a written permit. When I told him that the permission was only verbal, he flew into a paroxysm of rage and Rotarian...

It was obvious that the port could not operate efficiently on the reoccupation of the Colony by the British Forces, unless a fleet of small craft was made available to replace the pre-war vessels which had either disappeared or had been rendered unserviceable during the Japanese occupation. For this reason, suitable craft were earmarked from general war stocks for immediate despatch to the British Military Administration in Hong Kong, though, as a result of a series of delays, a number of these vessels did not actually reach the Colony until after the Military Administration had handed over to the Civil Government. These small craft formed an essential cog in the machinery of the Military Administration, as, without them, the latter could not have carried out the functions for which it was designed. Indeed, an adequate supply of this type of vessel was as important as first aid repairs to wharves which had been damaged by demolition charges, for, if there had been a breakdown in either of these services, the occupying forces could not have been landed without extreme difficulty. As, therefore, these craft formed part of the equipment necessary for the success of a military operation, it was never anticipated that any claim in respect of them would be presented to the Civil Government. It is true that the latter has, since the termination of the Military Administration, been able to utilise them for its own purposes, but they are far from ideal for the duties on which they are engaged, and, had this Government had any choice in the matter, they would, in many instances, have selected vessels of a different type. Moreover, if a Colony has been stripped of its harbour craft by an invading army and it has become necessary for the mother country to provide replacements for the purpose of re-occupation by its own forces and for the initial period of Military Administration, it did not seem an unreasonable supposition that the value of these craft on the date on which Civil Government was restored might be written off to general war expenditure.\n\n3. Some months ago, the Director of Marine, as disposal agent for the Ministry of Transport in this Colony, received communications from the Ministry intimating that it was their desire to dispose of these vessels, and to wind up the disposal machinery in Hong Kong as soon as possible. It was noted with some dismay that the Ministry regarded these craft as being on loan to the Hong Kong Government for rehabilitation purposes, and that they proposed that the latter should purchase such vessels as they might still require for service here. A copy of two of these letters is enclosed, together with a comprehensive list of the vessels in question, showing their origin.\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE ARTHUR CREECH JONES, M.P.**\n\n**RECEIVED 6 FEB 1948** \nC.

The procurement and distribution of coal, firewood and charcoal, which was undertaken during the period of the British Military Administration, was continued as the responsibility of the Coal and Firewood Section of the Department.\n\n58. In the case of coal, the Colony's allocation is made by the organisation of the Special Commissioner, South East Asia, in Singapore, and paid for through the Crown Agents but it appears from the accounts of the Supplies, Trade & Industries Department that other purchases, e.g. purchases from India and Hongay, which have been paid for locally, have also been arranged by the Director.\n\n59. During the period of the British Military Administration, coal was obtained from the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in Japan and shipments from this source have been continued up to date and the cost has been charged to the Hong Kong Government in the \"Two-Way\" Account maintained by Government with S.C.A.P. (see paragraph 29). In this connection, it has been observed that liability for the shipments of coal received from S.C.A.P. during the period of the British Military Administration has been preferred against the Hong Kong Government in the statement of account received from S.C.A.P. for the period up to 31st December, 1946 (see paragraph 39 above) and that this liability is included in the ledger account for S.C.A.P. maintained by the Supplies, Trade & Industry Department. While the assumption of this liability would appear to be in accord with the terms of the agreement for the handover from the British Military Administration to Civil Government, referred to in paragraph 19 above, it has been observed from correspondence on the Department's files that the method of settlement with S.C.A.P. formed the subject of several telegraphic communications with the War Office during the period of the British Military Administration, during which the War Office instructed, inter alia, that settlement should not be effected by barter arrangements and that the price of U.S.$10 a ton was not agreed. My predecessor accordingly enquired whether any arrangements for settlement of this liability were effected by the War Office and I have been informed that the matter has been taken up with the Crown Agents for the Colonies.\n\n60. The distribution of coal is undertaken by the Supplies, Trade and Industries Department and coal yards have been rented for this purpose on Hong Kong Island and at Kowloon. This Office has not been informed as to the method adopted for fixing the selling prices of coal nor on what authority this is done. The matter has not yet been fully investigated but it appears that the selling prices are fixed in order to cover costs plus landing and distribution charges.\n\n61. A separate Suspense Account is maintained to account for the expenditure and receipts involved in the purchase and distribution of coal. Expenditure on rent and maintenance of the coal yards is also charged against this Suspense account and queries have been raised on payment vouchers so classified, on the grounds that expenditure of this nature forms part of the cost of the functioning of the Supplies, Trade & Industries Department and is therefore properly chargeable against the expenditure head in the Estimates for the Department under which appropriate provision should be made. Replies to the queries raised are awaited.\n\n62. During the period of the British Military Administration, an agreement was made with Mr. A.E. Phillipps of the North Borneo Trading Co. Ltd., appointing him as Agent of the Administration in North Borneo\n\nPage 15.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-619-4 Department of Supplies- Trade and Industry- organization and finance 19-3-1949 - 31-3-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 596810, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-623-8 Estimates of Expenditure- includes a report for the year ending March 1951 1-12-1949 - 31-3-1951", "page_number": 126, "title": "CO129-623-8 Estimates of Expenditure- includes a report for the year ending March 1951 1-12-1949 - 31-3-1951", "content_text": "94\n\nHead 40-DEPARTMENT OF SUPPLIES AND DISTRIBUTION\n\n192\n\nHead 41-SUPREME COURT\n\n173\n\n95\n\nEleven Inspectors ($200 per month);\n\nDirectorate\n\nFemale Clerical Assistant ($200 per month);
