        "content_text": "730 \n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\ntent les noms de Lak, de Laï et de Balat, dont il eut quelque peine à se dégager. Ce fut alors qu'il eut à bord du Bourayne une entrevue avec le mandarin Ly, gouverneur des trois provinces maritimes du Tong-Kin, entrevue où il fut décidé qu'on demanderait à Hué la permission de le laisser circuler et qu'il ne passerait pas outre avant une quinzaine. Sur ces entrefaites, le Bourayne étant reparti, les autorités anamites avisèrent notre compatriote que la réponse de Hué se ferait attendre trois mois, et invitèrent à aller l'attendre à Hong-Kong, tandis qu'elles faisaient le vide autour de l'expédition et défendaient, sous peine de mort, de lui fournir des vivres.\n\nLe délai de quinze jours expiré, M. Dupuis se mit en mesure de pénétrer au Tong-Kin, par la voie du fleuve Thaï-Binh, qu'il avait des raisons de croire en communication avec le Song-Koi. Il remonta toutefois le premier de ces cours d'eau jusqu'au point où il cesse d'être navigable, sans rien découvrir de semblable; mais, en le redescendant, il rencontra le canal du même nom qui se soude au Song-Koi et s'y engagea pour remonter ensuite le Song-Koi lui-même jusqu'à Ha-Noi. Son arrivée en cette ville, qui eut lieu le 22 décembre 1872, causa une grande et désagréable sensation parmi les autorités annamites: ils craignirent qu'elle ne ravivât chez les Tongkinois des espérances qu'ils n'ont cessé de nourrir. C'est en 1802 qu'ils sont devenus les sujets de l'Annam, après une guerre de quinze années, et ils ont montré, en diverses circonstances, qu'ils secoueraient volontiers ce joug. Un laps de soixante-quinze ans n'a point suffi, tant s'en faut, à fondre les deux peuples en un seul; la race conquérante s'est réservé le monopole de tous les emplois publics et de toutes les fonctions lucratives; elle exploite les Tongkinois et les rançonne à outrance; elle les tient dans une abjecte servitude, et s'ils ont dû souffrir tout cela jusqu'ici, c'est qu'ils n'ont pu l'empêcher. Mais une sourde colère les anime, et il ne faudrait qu'une occasion pour la faire éclater au grand jour.\n\nAussi les mandarins d'Ha-Noi s'efforcèrent-ils de multiplier les obstacles devant l'expédition: ils cherchèrent chicane à M. Dupuis sur la validité de ses pouvoirs, sous le prétexte qu'ils n'émanaient point du vice-roi de Canton, et tentèrent d'affamer ses équipages, tandis qu'ils séquestraient toutes les barques du pays. Mais la bienveillance latente des Tongkinois rendit cette double précaution inutile: ils lui apportaient nuitamment des vivres et lui indiquaient les endroits où les barques étaient cachées. Il put, de la sorte, s'en procurer un certain nombre et charger une partie de son matériel; puis, prenant avec lui quelques-uns des siens et laissant le gros de son expédition à Ha-Noi, sous les ordres d'un compatriote, M. Millot, il s'engageait dans le haut fleuve et arrivait à Yün-Nân-Sen le 16 mars 1873. La prise de Tali-fou venait de porter le dernier coup à l'insurrection musulmane, et le maréchal Ma, au moment de licencier son armée, lui offrit un corps de 10,000 hommes. C'était plus qu'il n'en fallait pour conquérir le Tong-Kin; mais c'était aussi le livrer à la Chine, et l'intérêt de la France dominait M. Dupuis. Il se contenta donc d'accepter 150 hommes et reprit avec eux et une huitaine de barques le chemin de Ha-Noï.\n\nPendant son absence, le vice-roi de Canton avait écrit à la cour de Hué pour l'accréditer près du maréchal Nguyen, gouverneur général du Tong-Kin et donner l'ordre de le laisser circuler librement sur le fleuve Rouge. Seulement, les Annamites n'étaient guère disposés à suivre cette conduite. Occupation du haut fleuve, pour intercepter ses communications avec le Yün-Nan, empoisonnement des eaux potables, tentatives d'incendie, attaques à main armée, l'expédition eut tout à souffrir. Ce fut une lutte incessante, qui tourna toujours à l'avantage de M. Dupuis et se termina par le cantonnement des Annamites dans la citadelle, avec défense de paraître dans la ville commerciale sous peine d'emprisonnement. Désormais tout paraissait fini. M. Dupuis avait découvert un emplacement des plus favorables à l'établissement d'un port; un poste de 150 hommes y avait été installé, et les indigènes commençaient à se grouper autour de leur campement. Les Annamites, résignés, parlaient de négocier; le gouverneur de la Cochinchine française se décidait à intervenir, et on annonçait l'arrivée d'un corps expéditionnaire sous les ordres du lieutenant de vaisseau Francis Garnier.\n\nJamais, a dit plus tard M. Dupuis, jamais je n'éprouvai de joie plus grande»; mais cette joie devait être de courte durée et se convertir en une série de déboires. Après la prise d'assaut de la citadelle d'Ha-Noï et la mort de Garnier, enseveli, pour ainsi dire, dans son triomphe, des négociations s'étaient engagées avec la cour de Hué\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\npour qu'elle reconnût en droit la suzeraineté que nous exercions de fait sur les six provinces détachées de l'Annam, qui forment notre colonie cochinchinoise. Dès leur début, et en vertu d'une convention spéciale avec le gouvernement annamite, M. Dupuis se vit expulsé du Tong-Kin, et son escorte fut ramenée à Hai-Phong, où l'amiral Dupré, alors gouverneur de notre possession, avait dû s'engager à la garder prisonnière jusqu'à la ratification par les deux parties contractantes du traité intervenu le 13 mars 1874. Par ce traité, la France relevait l'Annam de l'indemnité de guerre de 5,500,000 francs qu'il lui restait à devoir et lui faisait don, en même temps, de navires de guerre, de 100 canons, de 1,000 fusils à tabatière, de 300,000 cartouches. En échange, le Tong-Kin et son fleuve étaient déclarés ouverts au commerce européen.\n\nM. Dupuis prétend que l'Annam n'a ainsi donné qu'une signature, et que ce pays reste fermé plus que jamais; il se plaint aussi, avec une grande vivacité, des procédés tour à tour captieux et spoliateurs dont il aurait été la victime et dont il fait peser la charge sur l'administration de la marine. On conçoit que, sur ce terrain, nous ne puissions le suivre. Aussi bien, en s'adressant, par voie de pétition, à la Chambre des députés, a-t-il saisi ses juges naturels. C'est à ceux-ci de faire la lumière, de déclarer si les faits qu'il articule sont véridiques, si les griefs qu'il invoque sont fondés. Il devait nous suffire, à cette place, de narrer ses efforts et de rendre justice au sentiment patriotique qui les a inspirés, comme à l'indomptable énergie qu'ils révèlent.\n\nAD.-F. DE FONTPERTUIS.\n\nCORRESPONDANCE.\n\nLE PRIX DES DÉPÊCHES TÉLÉGRAPHIQUES INTERNATIONALES.\n\nMonsieur le rédacteur en chef,\n\nOn lit dans le numéro de votre journal du 18 novembre et dans l'exposé des motifs de la loi sur le nouveau tarif télégraphique, la phrase suivante:\n\n«Ce résultat (un excédant de recettes supérieur à 2 millions), dont on doit se féliciter... n'est dû qu'aux produits du service international, qui seul solde en bénéfices...\n\nAprès cet aveu, on ne dit plus un mot sur ce service international, cause d'un excédant qui n'est pas à dédaigner, et l'exposé de M. le ministre des finances conclut à des réductions de tarif pour le service intérieur. Nous approuvons certes cette pensée, mais est-il rationnel de ne rien faire pour le service international? N'est-ce pas peut-être empêcher le développement d'une recette qui n'aura jamais dit son dernier mot? En effet, de quel développement notre commerce à l'étranger n'est-il pas susceptible, avec les produits de notre sol et ceux non moins remarquables de notre industrie? Notre prétention ne doit pas être de subvenir aux besoins de 35 millions de Français, mais bien aux 3 ou 400 millions d'individus qui consomment nos produits. La force et la richesse d'un pays proviennent de l'importance de son exportation.\n\nLe tarif télégraphique empêche non-seulement le développement commercial, mais il est tout simplement inique.

La réclamation des signataires nous paraît légitime, et nous désirons que la Commission du budget et la Chambre en veuillent bien tenir compte. Les distillateurs et liquoristes bordelais trouvent juste et avantageux pour le consommateur la disposition de la loi du 2 avril 1872, qui, modifiant les lois antérieures de 1824 et 1841, taxe les liqueurs et les fruits à l'eau-de-vie selon leur richesse alcoolique. Ils se plaignent seulement de ce que cette loi refuse au fabricant tout déchet de fabrication, et l'assimile au simple entrepositaire.\n\nLa Commission du budget, disent-ils, se trouvant réunie en ce moment pour s'occuper de la grave question des impôts, les soussignés, distillateurs et liquoristes de Bordeaux, viennent s'adresser à vous, monsieur le président, pour vous prier d'appuyer leurs justes réclamations au sujet de la loi votée, le 2 avril 1872, par l'Assemblée nationale, et dont ils demandent la modification. Cette loi, inspirée par quelques distillateurs des environs de Paris, a complètement bouleversé la législation qui, depuis 1824, régissait les alcools employés chez les fabricants de liqueurs et fruits à l'eau-de-vie; et pourtant cette législation avait, pendant près de cinquante années, profité dans une large mesure à l'Etat, sans entraver le développement de votre industrie, et, devons-nous le dire? sans offrir à la fraude les mêmes avantages que la loi actuelle, quoique les moyens de répression soient aujourd'hui plus sévères et la pénalité plus élevée.\n\nNous reconnaissons qu'en présence des lourdes charges budgétaires qui pèsent sur notre pays, la loi du 24 juin 1824, modifiée par la loi du 25 juin 1841 et l'ordonnance royale du 25 août de la même année, devait être encore revisée; mais il n'était pas équitable de la supprimer entièrement, surtout sans un examen approfondi et sans enquête préalable auprès des parties intéressées. La loi de 1844 imposait, il est vrai, les liqueurs et les fruits à l'eau-de-vie comme alcool pur, mais le fabricant avait une allocation de déchets qui ne lui laissait aucune charge fiscale. Actuellement, la liqueur et les fruits à l'eau-de-vie sont taxés d'après leur richesse alcoolique, ce qui est plus juste et plus avantageux pour le consommateur, mais ce dont il est seul à bénéficier; en revanche, on refuse au fabricant tout déchet de fabrication, et on l'assimile au simple entrepositaire; anomalie flagrante, sur laquelle nous insisterons tout particulièrement. L'entrepositaire, en effet, se borne à recevoir en dépôt, à entreposer, suivant le terme adopté, des eaux-de-vie et des alcools, qui sortent de chez lui tels, ou à peu près, qu'ils y sont entrés. Le distillateur-liquoriste, au contraire, manipule l'alcool, le modifie, le mélange, le transforme; de là une série d'opérations qui ont pour résultat des déchets importants, que les entrepositaires n'ont évidemment à supporter en aucune façon. Or il est alloué aux fabricants-liquoristes une déduction de 7 0/0 par an, la même déduction qu'aux entrepositaires, pas davantage.\n\nVoilà plus de quatre ans que nous subissons cette loi, et, chaque jour, nous avons à en déplorer les fâcheux résultats. Si donc il est vrai qu'un motif d'équité soit le principe de la nouvelle loi, il faut reconnaître aussi que le but des promoteurs de la nouvelle loi a été dépassé, et qu'en la rédigeant ils n'avaient qu'une connaissance bien imparfaite de l'industrie dont ils réglementaient l'existence fiscale. C'est pourquoi, lorsque nous avons acquis la conviction que la Commission du budget voulait entrer résolument dans la voie des réformes en matière d'impôts, nous avons décidé de nous adresser à vous, monsieur le président, sous les auspices et avec l'appui, de la chambre de commerce de Bordeaux. Toutefois, la demande que nous recommandons à votre bienveillante attention et à celle de vos honorables collègues n'est pas une demande de réduction de droits. Non! nous connaissons trop les exigences du budget pour parler de réduction. Ce que nous réclamons avec instance, c'est que, la loi faisant une distinction nécessaire entre les entrepositaires d'eaux-de-vie et les fabricants de liqueurs, accorde à ces derniers des déchets de fabrication.\n\nEst-il juste, en effet, de percevoir les droits sur une marchandise qui n'existe pas, et qui, par conséquent, n'est ni vendue, ni livrée à la consommation? est-il juste de nous mettre par cela même dans un état réel d'infériorité vis-à-vis de l'active concurrence que nous fait l'étranger, et de rendre l'exportation de nos produits autant plus difficile que les droits qui les frappent sont plus onéreux? Pour les fabricants de Bordeaux en particulier, la situation qui leur est imposée par la loi de 1872 est extrêmement fâcheuse, car leurs principales affaires sont des affaires d'exportation, et, ils peuvent le dire avec confiance, les liqueurs de Bordeaux jouissent sur tous les points du globe d'une légitime renommée. Nous ne pouvons croire qu'il soit entré dans les desseins du gouvernement et des Assemblées législatives de porter une atteinte aussi grave à cette branche si importante du commerce d'exportation, alors surtout que, dans les sphères officielles, on se préoccupe du ralentissement de ce commerce, une des sources les plus grandes de la richesse nationale. Nous espérons donc qu'il suffira d'appeler sur ce fait l'attention de MM. les membres de la Commission, du budget pour qu'il soit promptement remédié à un pareil état de choses.\n\nNous venons, monsieur le président, de vous expliquer le moins longuement possible les inconvénients de la loi\n\n316",

        "content_text": "LILLE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS\n\nLes forges ne manquent pas d'activité, mais elles la paient chèrement par les concessions de prix. Cette activité n'est pas enviable. Les usines de ce groupe ont à peu près toutes les fournitures de fers destinées à la construction du palais de l'Exposition; la Société Hamoir et Cie la plus forte partie. Les prix, dit-on, sont de 170 à 180 francs, franco Paris; tous ces fers sont demandés de longueur fixe. C'est le maximum baisse. On cote le plus généralement les fers marchands et ceux à plancher 170 à 175 francs en forge, pour les demandes courantes; et 165 francs pour marchés; les petits fers à cercles, 240 à 245 francs; la grosse tôle, 230 à 240 francs, à l'usine.\n\nDes petits fers marchands classés dans les 3 et 4 classes nous ont été demandés en abondance. Cette spécialité, qui ordinairement est demandée aux forges de l'Est, nous a donné lieu d'espérer une prochaine reprise.\" Nous espérons que les producteurs maintiendront leurs prix, ce qui leur permettra d'élever leurs prétentions en cas de reprise bien marquée. D'ailleurs, une nouvelle baisse est impossible, malgré les exigences de la clientèle marchande.\n\nIl y a un peu plus de demandes pour les lins de Russie, sans grand changement dans les cours; en lins de pays, un courant ordinaire. Des affaires assez importantes en fils. Moyennant de très légères concessions sur les prix.\n\nPas de changement pour la toile ordinaire; les transactions continues ont eu lieu depuis quelques semaines en toiles à teindre.\n\nMoyen marché aux blés, on avait apporté 1,200 hectolitres environ. Vente assez active avec hausse 50 à 75 centimes. Farines en consommation, 41 fr. 50 pour le disponible; la livrable plusieurs mois 42 francs.\n\nLYON, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nSOIES ET SOIERIES. Nous commençons cette correspondance en donnant les chiffres de la condition pour le mois qui finit aujourd'hui : 4,100 balles du poids de 287,000 kilogrammes, contre 5,966 balles du poids de 383,850 kilogrammes pendant le mois correspondant de 1875. Si on déduisait du nombre des balles qui ont passé à la condition celles qui forment l'objet de contrats antérieurs, on arriverait à un total tellement minime que l'on comprendrait facilement combien il est actuellement impossible de fixer les cours et de mesurer exactement les degrés de la baisse. Celle-ci a pourtant fait de nouveaux progrès, et l'on peut évaluer à 5 francs la nouvelle dépréciation survenue dans la dernière huitaine.\n\nCette dépréciation a surtout marqué les derniers jours de la semaine qui a précédé celle où nous sommes. À ce moment et à ces prix, il s'est fait quelques achats, de peu d'importance, il est vrai, mais qui ont néanmoins attiré l'attention des fabricants et des mouliners. Ces affaires, quoique isolées et par cela même ne constituant pas des cours réguliers, semblent servir de base aux transactions en projets et provoquer un peu plus de demandes.\n\nNous cotons, comme cours pratiqués: 105 francs pour les organsins de Piémont, premier ordre, précédemment vendus 130 francs; 100 francs pour trames d'Italie, bonne livraison, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges Toscane, premier ordre, 9/11, 100 francs, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges de Chine Tsatlee 5, 63 à 65 francs, précédemment vendes 74-76 francs; grèges de Japon Mybashi, 2 1/2 à 3, 70 francs, valant précédemment 91 à 92 francs.\n\nÀ ces prix, disons-nous, il y a preneurs pour d'assez grosses parties; mais la marchandise n'est pas offerte et nos détenteurs importants de tous genres semblent vouloir attendre quelque temps encore avant de souscrire à ces prix, qui peuvent bien se pratiquer isolément, mais ne sont pas, à l'heure qu'il est, généralement acceptés.\n\nCes faits indiquent que la confiance dans l'avenir des prix de la soie n'est que partiellement ébranlée et que les gens les mieux placés croient toujours à un retour en hausse avant la fin de cette campagne.\n\nMais la seule rareté relative de la soie ne nous semble pas pouvoir déterminer ce retour; il faudrait pour cela une éclaircie dans la situation politique et surtout un réveil dans les affaires en étoffes. De ce côté, il n'y a aucune amélioration à noter. Les petites commissions qui se donnent çà et là sont des plus réduites et la vente sur banque est presque nulle. L'acheteur ne se laisse tenter que lorsque le fabricant consent à subir des prix bien inférieurs à ceux de la matière première.\n\nEn attendant, le stock de la marchandise fabriquée, comme celui de la soie, s'accumule sur notre place.\n\nLa fabrique réduit sa production ainsi qu'en font foi les relevés des ateliers de teinture, qui ne font que les deux tiers ou la moitié de leur travail ordinaire.\n\nLes arrivages de soies asiatiques sont plus importants qu'ils ne l'ont jamais été. Les magasins généraux ont en dépôt entre Lyon et Marseille environ 18,000 balles des soies de cette provenance. Les magasins particuliers sont loin d'être dégarnis. Les hauts prix du mois de septembre ont fait converger vers Lyon presque tout le stock disponible du monde entier. Mais, si important que ce stock puisse paraître aujourd'hui, il ne faut pas oublier qu'il est destiné à alimenter la fabrication pendant sept ou huit mois, et que les suppléments qui pourraient arriver d'ici à la fin de la campagne ne sauraient être bien importants.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons répété à satiété que les filatures en Europe tirent à leur fin et ne produiront plus grand'chose.\n\nDans l'extrême Orient, il y a toujours un stock qui ne laisse pas d'être considérable, mais qui ne contient plus des réserves pouvant alimenter utilement notre marché. La question est donc de savoir si les détenteurs en Europe sont décidés à attendre tranquillement un réveil d'affaires qui, selon toute probabilité, ne peut avoir lieu qu'en janvier et février; et même s'ils veulent escompter les chances de la récolte de 1877 en vue du retour de la hausse dont nous parlons plus haut, ou bien si, par prudence ou nécessité, ils se décideront avant cette époque à souscrire aux sacrifices que la fabrique et le moulinage semblent vouloir demander pour retourner franchement aux achats.\n\nSur le marché de Milan, le calme est complet, la marchandise courante très-offerte et la belle marchandise bien tenue.\n\nÀ Marseille, nullité d'affaires avec peu de stock. Les cocons de bonne qualité se paient encore de 25 à 26 francs, prix bien supérieurs aux cours actuels des grèges.\n\nÀ Londres, peu d'affaires, quelques petites transactions en soies de Chine avec 2-6 à 3 sh. de baisse sur les prix les plus hauts pratiqués les Japon semblent presque invendables à Londres il est vrai que ce marché a reçu, cette campagne, le rebut de la production japonaise. Les soies de bonne qualité et de filature européenne ont été dirigées directement sur le continent.\n\nSur les marchés orientaux, le marasme est complet; il ne s'y fait presque rien. L'Éléphant bleu était coté, le 29 novembre, 550 taels, à Shanghai; mais il est probable, nous télégraphie-t-on, que l'on pourrait traiter à 525-530 taels, Le change était remonté à 7.05.\n\nÀ Yokohama, la bonne marchandise devient de plus en plus rare. On a payé, ces jours-ci, 1,000 piastres pour les bonnes filatures à l'européenne. On cote: 775 piastres les Mybashi no 2. Change 5.25. Nous manquons de détails sur l'exportation totale des graines. Mais, jusqu'au 18 de ce mois, 400,000 cartons seulement avaient été expédiés, dont plus de la moitié par la dernière malle.\n\nLE HAVRE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons eu beaucoup d'animation pendant trois journées sur les cotons et de bonnes affaires en cafés, cuirs et bois, le tout à des prix très-fermes. Un peu de faiblesse sur les saindoux.\n\nCOTONS, --Notre marché cotonnier a ouvert dans de meilleures dispositions vendredi, et les affaires ont été plus suivies. Elles sont encore plus animées par la suite, sur le reçu de dépêches annonçant une grande raideur sur les prix aux États-Unis. Lundi, le marché est resté très-actif avec hausse de 2 francs sur les cours de vendredi, tant pour les Louisiane que pour les Surate. La demande s'est un peu calmée mercredi. On clôture dans ces dispositions, les grosses recettes continuant en Amérique et les dépêches de Liverpool étant plus froides. Le livrable a également débuté avec plus d'animation et de fermeté, et il donne lieu à des affaires excessivement importantes à des prix en hausse dans les journées de samedi, lundi et mardi. Un grand nombre des opérations traitées pendant ces trois jours, n'ont pas été cotées à terme.

No. 2. \n\nAbstract of Proceedings. \n\n210 \n\nConference of Constantinople, having established facts which fairly lend to the inference that a theoretically perfect Quarantine is capable of arresting cholera, had conceived and adopted a scheme for applying Quarantine, which would keep cholera, as it was supposed, eventually out of Europe. This was to be done by maritime quarantine stations on the Red and Caspian Seas and Persian Gulf, and by land quarantine stations on the Turco-Persian and Russo-Persian frontiers, and on the side of Boukhara. The scheme involved further complete temporary interruption (if necessary) of all communication between Egypt and any places in the basin of the Mediterranean. That Conference had also laid down general rules for quarantine (Régime Quarantenaire). Its scheme, as a general scheme, had never been put into execution, and indeed was in great part quite inexecutable; and it had this great defect, that it included no provision whatever for what, during the interval which had elapsed since the Conference had reported, had been the sole cause of anxiety with reference to cholera in Europe, viz., the spread of the disease in Europe itself. \n\nThe Conference of Vienna was not called upon specifically to review the several recommendations on Quarantine of the Conference of Constantinople, as it had been called on to review its conclusions on scientific matters; but certain broad general questions had been framed with the view of eliciting the opinion of the delegates assembled at Vienna as to the measures of restriction on the progress of cholera which were practicable, and likely to be efficacious, by land, by sea, or by river. \n\n## A—Land Quarantine. \n\nThe 12th question on the Programme was :-\"Des établissements de quarantaine doivent-ils être construits sur terre contre le choléra ?\" Unless this question were answered in the affirmative, the following one, the 13th on the Programme, which had reference to the details of such establishments, fell to the ground. A resolution was proposed answering it in the negative, and adopted by a majority of 13 delegations to 4; two delegations abstaining from voting. The terms of the resolution adopted set forth that, in view of the numerous modes of communication which existed and increased from day to day, land quarantines were inexecutable and useless; and that on this account, and on account of the serious damage they did besides to commercial interests, they ought to be abolished. (Considérant 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). Up to a certain point there was absolute unanimity of opinion in the Conference. No one contended that land quarantines on the continent of Europe, wherever a railway system had been established, were practicable; but objection was taken to the universal condemnation of land quarantines which the resolution implied. This objection was represented in three degrees (if I may so say) by three amendments successively put and negatived. The one widest from the resolution was that formulated by M. Milossavlevitch, the delegate for Servia, which, commencing by a recognition of the general utility of quarantines, went on to say that, though land quarantines were not practicable in the centre of Europe, they ought to be established wherever topographical and social conditions admitted. \n\n* The delegations which voted against this view were those of France, Greece, Portugal, and Servia. The delegations which abstained from voting were those of Luxemburg and Switzerland. It should be stated, however, that the delegations of Turkey, Egypt, and Spain had not up to this time taken their places in the Conference. \n\n211 \n\nArt. No. 2. \n\nThis amendment received 4 votes against 13 negative; two delegations abstaining. The next, formulated by M. de King, delegate of France, was to the effect that the Conference was of opinion that land quarantines were in most cases impracticable, but that any States which deemed it possible to guard efficiently their land frontier by quarantines should have the liberty of doing so. This obtained 5 votes to 13 negative; one delegation only abstaining. The last amendment put, that of M. Orphanides, the delegate for Greece, proposed the maintenance of land quarantines in Greece and Turkey, on the ground that the reasons which called for the rejection of such quarantines in Europe generally did not apply to those countries. This proposal equally obtained five votes only; but of the 13 delegations which had rejected the former amendments, and which voted afterwards for the resolution originally proposed, eight abstained from voting on this amendment.* The effect was practically the same as though they had voted in the negative; an absolute majority of the delegations present being requisite for the adoption of any proposition. \n\n* The exceptional circumstances of Greece were ably put to the Conference by M. Orphanides; but no statement whatever of such circumstances was made on behalf of Turkey (the Turkish delegation, it should be explained, had not then arrived). On the other hand, the utter inexecutability and consequent inutility of the Turkish land quarantines were strongly stated by the Russian delegates, who, however, were amongst those who took no part in voting on this amendment. As M. Fauvel, one of the French delegation (who had not taken his place in the Conference at the time this question was discussed), has since insisted before the French Académie de Médecine on the practicability and value of these quarantines, it may not be amiss to add the following reliable description of them by Surgeon-Major W. H. Colvill, civil surgeon, Baghdad, who had himself been subjected to them :-\"On my way from England last autumn, to rejoin my appointment, by Russia and Persia, I had to spend 10 days in quarantine on the frontier at Khaurbin; and I can best give an idea of Turkish quarantine by trying to sketch what I saw. Khankia is a town of about 2,000 inhabitants. Here the river Diayalah, crossed by a stone bridge, separates Turkey from Persia, and at the 'Persian end, a plot of ground, bounded on one side by a canal, was marked out as 'the quarantine camp,' and here for two months before my arrival as many as 5,000 'travellers, Asiatic Russians, Afghans, and Persians, had at the same time been 'encamped. Each company on coming in was supposed to pitch its tents a few feet 'apart from the previous arrivals, though the people mixed freely together. I 'arrived half an hour before midnight, and the stench from dead quadrupeds and all manner of abominations was frightful; but that was not all, for if a person 'were found dead from cholera his company had to begin the quarantine afresh, the 'result being that no sooner was the breath out of the dying man than his friends 'scraped a hole in the ground under the tent and pushed him in, while after them another company would arrive, pitch on the same ground, and probably do the 'like. In one case the friends were in such haste that they left the dead man's 'beard protruding; the jackals came, and next morning his bare jawbones were 'sticking through the ground. No account is kept of the arrivals, and no care 'whatever is taken of the travellers, but that is no fault of the sanitary officers, for 'they have not the means. I was very much struck with the energy \"and perseverance of the European officer here; but what could he do single-\"handed amongst 5,000, constantly coming and going, men from the north, not 'by any means in the best of temper, and whose language he could not under-\"stand? The provisions purchased through intermediates were dear. This camp, varying from 3,000 to 5,000, was simply a hot-bed of disease; while it did not prevent cholera entering Turkey by that road, for it appeared at Kizil Robat, a village of about 800 inhabitants, 16 miles on the way towards Baghdad, and for '10 days five to six people died daily; and yet this camp, behind the disease, was kept up for a couple of months after that, while no quarantine was established 'between Kizil Robat and the interior, that is towards Baghdad.\"—(Transactions of Medical and Physical Society of Bombay, N.S., No. xi. for 1871).",

No. 2. \n\nAbstract of Proceedings \n\n212 \n\nThe resolution, entirely condemnatory of land quarantine, was (as I have already stated) then adopted by the vote of 13 delegations to 4; two delegations abstaining. \n\n## B.-Maritime Quarantine. \n\nIt having been decided that the questions (14 and 15) which stood next in the Programme should be postponed until the subject of maritime quarantine had been discussed, the Conference next passed to that discussion, which proved an extremely animated one, and which occupied altogether nine sittings. \n\nThe discussion commenced of course with the consideration of the Report made by the Committee to whom the questions (16-22 in the Programme) relating to the subject had been referred, which Report was to the following effect: \n\nThat maritime quarantines can only be of real use, as protective against cholera, in those ports which may be regarded as the chief points of irruption of that disease in its progress by sea towards Europe. \n\nThat, wherever instituted, they should be of the completest kind, and in conformity with the strictest rules of hygiene. That they should be international institutions. \n\nThat when cholera has broken through the chief points of irruption, quarantines in the ports of continental Europe are useless, inasmuch as the communications by land take from them all their value. \n\nThat, under these circumstances, there should be substituted in the ports of Europe for quarantine a rigorous medical inspection of every ship coming from an infected locality, in conformity with regulations which the Committee had prepared, and which it submitted to the Conference. \n\nThe general discussion of the principles involved in this Report was of the highest interest, and occupied three sittings. It was characteristic of the different stand-points from which this practical subject was approached at Constantinople and at Vienna, that, while the attention of the former Conference had, so far as it was concerned, been exclusively given to the establishment or maintenance of quarantine for the purpose of checking the progress of cholera by sea from Asia to Europe, it was with the question of the maintenance of quarantines in the ports of Europe itself that the Conference of Vienna was chiefly occupied. Little or no difference of opinion was manifested amongst those assembled at Vienna as to the utility of sea quarantines between Asia and Europe; but very great diversity of opinion was found to exist as to the advantage of such institutions in Europe itself, and it soon became evident in the progress of the debates that the Conference was divided into two camps, one comprising the majority of the delegations, who were favourable to their entire abolition in European ports, and the substitution of a system of medical inspection of vessels coming from infected places; the other, the minority, who were for maintaining them. \n\nAt the close of this general discussion, a proposal that the Report be reconsidered by the Committee with the addition of other members of the Conference entertaining views more favourable to quarantine having been rejected, the Committee itself undertook to review its Report before the Conference should proceed to consider and vote on the separate articles of it. \n\n* Though the Committee was unanimous in its Report, it need scarcely be said that it had not been nominated with any view to the representation in it of one set of opinions only. The Baron de Ring, the only member of the French delegation who was in Vienna when the Committee was appointed, was on the list first nominated, and on his declining to serve, a member of the Conference, whose opinions on the subject were unknown to the Conference, but generally believed to be favourable to maritime quarantine, was appointed to replace him. \n\n213 \n\n## APP. No. 1 \n\nAbstract of Proceedings \n\nAt the next sitting, (the 11th of the Conference, and 4th of the discussion on the Report,) Professor Hirsch, the reporter of the Committee, read a statement on its behalf as to the alterations and additions in the Report, which, in view of the discussion which had taken place, it deemed advisable; and the Conference then proceeded to the consideration of the Report, article by article. \n\nThe first article was as follows:- \n\n\"Les quarantaines dans les ports de mer ne peuvent offrir une protection réelle et essentielle contre le choléra que dans ces ports qui peuvent être regardés comme les points principaux d'irruption du choléra dans sa marche maritime vers l'Europe.\" \n\nThe Committee in its supplementary statement had proposed to make this more precise by additions which should specify the Caspian and the Red Seas, with the Canal of Suez, as the chief points of the maritime irruption of cholera, and should give a positive instead of an inferential approval of quarantine being established at Astrakan and Baku on the Caspian Sea and at El Wesch on the Red Sea. \n\nAnother \"rédaction,\" intended, as expressly stated, to imply exactly the same thing, was moved by M. Fauvel as follows:- \n\n\"En vue de prévenir de nouvelles invasions du choléra en Europe, la Conférence approuve, en principe, les mesures recommandées par la Conférence de Constantinople, et notamment les quarantaines maritimes dans la Mer Rouge, et sur le littoral de la mer Caspienne.\" \n\nAfter some discussion a conclusion was arrived at which consisted in the adoption of the article as originally proposed by the Committee with the addition of the words, \"Dans cet ordre d'idées, la Conférence adopte les conclusions de la Conférence de Constantinople, quant aux quarantaines de la Mer Caspienne et de la Mer Rouge.\" \n\nIt was unfortunate that in the conclusion as thus expressed the words \"en principe,\" which were part of M. Fauvel's proposal, were omitted. For it was the general scope and intention of the proposals made on this subject by the Conference of Constantinople, and not each individual recommendation of that Conference, which was approved. The individual recommendations were in fact never discussed, and I am satisfied that I am quite correct in stating that it never entered into the mind of any delegate present at the Conference at Vienna to revive, e.g., the proposal made at Constantinople for international quarantine at the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb. \n\nOf the second article of the Committee's Report, \"Ces quarantaines devraient être instituées et organisées d'une manière complète et satisfaisante selon les maximes d'hygiène les plus rigoureuses. Elles devraient être des institutions internationales,\" the first part was unanimously adopted. The remainder relating to the internationality of these institutions was, after a short discussion, withdrawn. \n\nTo the third article of the Report, \"Contre le choléra qui a franchi les points principaux de son irruption, les quarantaines dans les ports de l'Europe continentale sont inutiles, vu que les communications par terre...,\" a continuation, as follows, of the additional proposal of the Committee, \"Quant aux ports Ottomans de la Mer-Noire, vu la position géographique de la Turquie et ses relations spéciales avec les points principaux d'irruption du choléra, cette Puissance a la liberté d'établir des quarantaines. Les Dardanelles restent dans tous les cas ouvertes au commerce international,\" was, at the request of the Turkish delegation, withdrawn.",

        "content_text": "## APP. No. 2.\n\n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n214\n\n\"terre leur ôtent toute valeur,\" an amendment was proposed by M. Fauvel as follows: \"Quand le choléra règne en Europe, les quarantaines maritimes perdent en général beaucoup de leur efficacité à raison des communications par terre. Cependant on ne saurait dire qu'elles soient devenues entièrement inutiles.\" It was on these respective proposals that what I may venture to call the critical vote of the Conference took place; the result being that the resolution contained in the Committee's report for the abolition of quarantine in continental Europe, when cholera was already in Europe, was adopted by the votes of 12 delegations to 8.*\n\nThe fourth article of the report, \"Dans ces conditions, il convient d'établir dans les ports de l'Europe, au lieu des quarantaines, une inspection sanitaire rigoureuse pour chaque navire provenant d'une localité infectée selon le règlement ci-après,\" was also adopted; subject, of course, to the consideration of the details of the Règlement. These underwent much discussion, in which they were considerably improved in form, but quite untouched in principle. As finally agreed upon they will be found inserted in extenso in the Annex No. III. to this abstract. In principle, the provisions are the following:-\n\n1. Local sanitary authorities in every port for the execution of these rules; such authorities to be kept always officially informed respecting cholera in other ports.\n2. Immediate free pratique to all vessels arriving from non-infected ports, which vessels, on the oath of the captain, had not during their voyage touched at any intermediate suspected port, nor communicated directly with any infected ship, and on board which there had not been any suspected or confirmed case of cholera.\n3. Medical inspection, as soon as possible after arrival, of all ships coming from suspected or infected ports, as well as of ships coming from non-suspected ports, but which had during the voyage touched at any suspected port or had direct communication with any infected ship, or on which there had been any suspicious case of cholera sickness or death.\n4. Immediate free pratique to the ship and everything in it, when it appeared from this inspection that there was no actual cholera, or suspected cholera, on board; except when there had been any such cases during the voyage, under which circumstances the ship itself, the crew and passengers, their clothes, and goods were to undergo disinfection before being admitted to pratique.\n5. If on the inspection there were found any case on board of cholera or suspected cholera, or any corpse of a person suspected to have died of cholera, (1) immediate removal of the sick (if any) to hospital, and immediate burial of corpses (if any) either in the sea with usual precautions, or on land after disinfection; (2) disinfection of the crew and passengers who were well, and of their clothes and goods; and, (3) disinfection of the ship itself. All who were well to have free pratique, with their clothes and goods, as soon as the disinfection had been accomplished.\n6. Free pratique to all merchandise, except to rags and other objects of a susceptible kind which must first undergo a radical disinfection.\n\nThis system, it will be seen, is identical in principle with that which has for some time been in practice in the United Kingdom; but I had notified to the Committee at an early stage that certain of the details proposed to be introduced into the Règlement, as, e.g., the personal disinfection of passengers on an infected ship who were themselves certified on arrival to be unaffected with cholera or diarrhoea, with some other provisions in regard to disinfection, were not carried out, and could not be carried out, in this country in the precise way the Règlement directed, and that with regard to these provisions, none of which appeared to me to be fundamental, reserve would have to be made in accepting the Règlement in question.*\n\nIn the discussion which had thus far taken place on the subject of maritime quarantine, two things had become evident: (1) that whatever might be the recommendation of the Conference in regard to the substitution of a system of medical inspection for one of quarantine in Europe, there were at least some maritime States which at present would not fall in with the recommendation, and that therefore \"la parfaite conformité dans les dispositions à prendre &c.,\" which it was the desire of those who had convoked the Conference to establish, could not as yet be arrived at; and (2) that the views of at least some of the advocates of quarantine as applied to European ports had undergone modification tending to improvement in the practice, and that probably the most important and influential of all the States still supporting the quarantine system in Europe, viz., France, would be ready to discontinue at once that system, and substitute the system of medical inspection in its northern ports, though not in all its ports, and notably not in the ports in the Mediterranean. On these grounds, and with the object of arriving as far as possible at an understanding which might be the basis of such a convention as was desired, Professor Hirsch, in the name of the committee whose views had been adopted by the Conference, proposed a further committee for considering a scheme which might be accepted by those States which for the present should decline to accept the scheme which the Conference had approved. The proposal was adopted and a committee nominated for the purpose.†\n\n215\n\nThe règlement quarantenaire, which the Committee prepared and which was accepted by the Conference, is given in extenso in Annex III. to this abstract. It modifies considerably the practice of quarantine as heretofore carried out in Europe generally.\n\n1-4. As to the duration of quarantine.-In the case of ships coming from ports known to be infected, this is fixed at from one to seven days, according to circumstances, which period however may be extended to 10 days in the Eastern States of Europe, or elsewhere under exceptional circumstances.\n\nI think it may safely be affirmed that it was rather for the sake of countries which desired to pass from the quarantine system to the inspection system, than for countries in which, such system was already in force, that the particular provisions relative to personal disinfection were introduced.\n\n## APP. No. 2.\n\n* Of States of the first rank, France alone voted in the minority. The delegations of Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Austria, Hungary, and Italy were ranged on the side of the majority. Again, while the 12 States constituting the majority, and comprising (in addition to the six just enumerated) Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Persia, were all of them maritime States, three out of the eight States constituting the minority had no maritime relations whatever, viz., Luxemburg, Switzerland, and Servia. The remaining five States in the minority were France, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. It should be stated, however, that the Spanish delegation, which would have undoubtedly voted with the minority, had not arrived when this vote was taken.\n\nMore than one attempt made by M. Fauvel to break in upon the principle of the system proposed met with discomfiture. On the other hand, his criticism was of great value in making more clear and concise the provisions of the Règlement as proposed by the Committee.\n\n† This committee consisted of Messrs. Hirsch (Germany), d'Albert-Glanstätten (Austro-Hungary), Fauvel (France), Seaton (Great Britain), and Bartoletti (Turkey).\n\nPage 335",

The Conference left the subject of providing for the expenses of the proposed commission to be settled diplomatically between the Governments concerned.\n\nIt concluded this part of its work by the expression of its earnest desire to see instituted in Persia an international Council of Health analogous to the Councils of Health which act with such advantage at Constantinople and at Alexandria.\n\nThe particular kinds of questions relative to cholera which the international commission, if appointed, might, in the first instance, advantageously take up were indicated by various delegates in the discussions, and were some of them detailed by Professor Pettenkofer in a note which will be found attached to the third part of the Relevé des Conclusions in Annex III. But this note, it must be distinctly understood, was only meant as a specimen of questions waiting for solution; and was not in the least intended as even a sketch of a complete plan of work for the commission to undertake. The determining the exact commencement of cholera in each locality, and the tracing exactly its progress and termination were considered among the first duties of the Commission; the regular and systematic study of the meteorological and telluric conditions of certain specified places was another; a more exact and analytical study than we have had at present of the breaking out of cholera on board ships was another; determination of the precise duration of the incubation of cholera, determination of the value of disinfectants, &c., were all among the specimen subjects.\n\n## IV.-QUARANTINE AGAINST OTHER DISEASES THAN CHOLERA.\n\nA short sitting was devoted to hearing several communications on yellow fever, but it was unanimously decided that this question should be reserved for the international sanitary commission which it was proposed to institute.\n\n(Copr.)\n\n## ANNEX I.\n\n### LETTER of COUNT ANDRÁSSY to the AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR at the COURT OF ST. JAMES.\n\nMONSIEUR LE COMTE,\n\nVienne, le 3 Mai 1874.\n\nDepuis quelque temps déjà et de plusieurs côtés le désir s'est manifesté d'examiner de nouveau la question de savoir où et sous quelles conditions prennent naissance et s'étendent certaines épidémies qui, comme le choléra Asiatique, n'ont pas cessé, pendant les dernières années, de désoler le monde par leurs ravages, et d'entraver, par leurs perturbations, le développement des relations internationales. appuyé à cette occasion, sur la nécessité de faire généralement appliquer les remèdes les plus aptes pour préserver les populations contre les atteintes de ce fléau, et sur l'urgence d'étudier et de faire connaître de nouvelles mesures préventives et recommandées à cet effet par l'expérience. Le besoin s'est fait sentir, en même temps, de concerter entre les Etats intéressés des arrangements obligatoires qui auraient pour but d'amener une parfaite conformité dans les dispositions à prendre pour se prémunir contre ce danger commun, de concentrer et de raffermir par là les moyens de se protéger contre l'invasion de ces maladies, et \n\n219\n\nd'écarter aussi bien la confusion qui a envahi, peu-à-peu, le terrain des principes hygiéniques en vigueur par rapport à ces épidémies et aux barrières qu'on leur oppose, que de faire disparaître les causes qui ne portent que trop souvent le trouble dans les transactions commerciales.\n\nL'augmentation continuelle des relations commerciales entre les différents pays, et la variété des moyens de communication par lesquels le commerce est entretenu, prouvent tous les jours davantage l'utilité, voire même la nécessité, d'établir des règles identiques destinées à régir ces rapports, et de les sanctionner par des conventions internationales. De nombreuses expériences démontrent les avantages de pareils arrangements. Si le libre exercice de la souveraineté territoriale est limité, en quelque sorte, par les conventions de ce genre, il est incontestable que le profit que chaque état en retire l'emporte de beaucoup sur cet inconvénient, qui n'est qu'apparent. La pratique démontre aussi les grands désavantages qui résultent, par exemple, dans le domaine de l'hygiène publique, de la divergence des principes d'après lesquels on combat, dans l'un ou dans l'autre état, les épidémies générales se propageant de pays en pays sous la tutelle, pour ainsi dire, de ces principes. Cette vérité a dès 1866 été reconnue par les Gouvernements qui ont pris part à la Conférence Sanitaire Internationale réunie à Constantinople et à laquelle on avait assigné pour objet des questions semblables à celles que nous proposons de résoudre, et un but analogue à celui que nous voulons atteindre. Des hommes de la science sérieux et compétents n'ont pas hésité dans les délibérations de la dite Conférence, à proclamer les mêmes idées auxquelles nous nous sommes associés aujourd'hui. Les conclusions adoptées par cette Conférence renferment des conseils précieux qui ne sont peut-être affectés que d'un seul défaut, celui de n'avoir jamais été tous en pratique.\n\nIl s'agit, donc, aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'idées, de réviser, jusqu'à un certain point au moins, les délibérations engagées et les résolutions prises à ce sujet à Constantinople, de les vérifier et de les compléter par les idées et expériences acquises, et surtout, d'en assurer l'exécution, et d'arrêter à cet effet entre les Etats intéressés, une convention sanitaire internationale qui réponde à tous les besoins de la situation actuelle.\n\nNous avons cru ne pas devoir nous montrer indifférents à ces demandes renouvelées récemment encore et avec insistance, ainsi qu'en font foi les résolutions du troisième Congrès International de Médecine réuni en l'année passée. Guidés par ces considérations, nous nous sommes adressés aux Puissances intéressées, afin d'être informés si elles sont disposées à envoyer des délégués à une conférence sanitaire internationale, convoquée à Vienne, dans le but de délibérer et de décider sur certaines questions de réforme du service sanitaire international. Nous avons eu la satisfaction de pouvoir constater que l'initiative prise par nous à cet égard a été saluée de tout côté avec un vif empressement, et que nos propositions ont été accueillies favorablement par tous les Gouvernements auxquels nous nous étions adressés. Nous avons pensé devoir, dans ces circonstances, faciliter la tâche importante dévolue à la Conférence en faisant élaborer, par une Commission spéciale, un programme de ces travaux futurs, qui traçât dès à présent, sans limiter la liberté des appréciations et l'indépendance nécessaire de ses membres, le cadre des questions à traiter, et qui indiquât le but qu'on se propose d'atteindre. En prenant d'avance connaissance de ce programme, on sera mis en état de pouvoir faire soigneusement étudier ces questions, et il sera possible de munir les délégués d'instructions précises et assez étendues pour procéder plus tard en pleine connaissance de cause, aux délibérations et à la conclusion des arrangements internationaux.\n\n## APP, No. 2.\n\n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n37844. \n\n337 \nPage 219",

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\n2. Le choléra est-il transmissible par l'homme ?\n\n3. Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des effets, qui, provenant d'un lieu infecté, ont servi à l'usage et spécialement par ceux qui ont appartenu à des cholériques ?\n\n4. Peut-il être propagé par des comestibles ?\n\n5. Peut-il être importé par des animaux vivants ?\n\n6. ou par le transport de marchandises ?\n\n7. ou, enfin, par les cadavres des cholériques ?\n\n8. Le choléra peut-il se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule ?\n\n9. 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 ?\n\n10. Quand il y a contagion, quelle est la durée de l'incubation ?\n\n11. Connaît-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement ou avec quelque chance de succès être détruit et perdre de son intensité ? Dans le cas affirmatif quels sont ces moyens ?\n\n#### Questions sur les Mesures de Quarantaine en Temps de Choléra.\n\n12. Des établissements de quarantaine doivent-ils être construits sur terre contre le choléra ?\n\n13. Dans ce cas :\n   - (a) Où seront-ils placés ?\n   - (b) Quand et dans quelles conditions ces constructions doivent-elles se faire ?\n   - (c) Quelles seraient les conditions à remplir sous le rapport des bâtisses et sous celui de l'organisation administrative ?\n   - (d) Comment et par quels moyens est-il possible d'empêcher l'accès dans un pays par une autre voie que celle protégée par des établissements de quarantaine ?\n\n14. Des établissements de quarantaine contre le choléra doivent-ils être aussi construits sur les bords des fleuves ?\n\n15. Donc le cas affirmatif (comme au § 13) ?\n\n16. Doit-on construire des établissements de quarantaine maritimes ou conserver ceux qui existent ?\n\n17. Si tel doit être le cas (comme au § 13) ?\n\n18. Quels sont les principes qui doivent être adoptés envers les personnes :\n   - (a) pour les admettre immédiatement à la libre pratique ?\n   - (b) pour leur faire subir une quarantaine d'observation ?\n   - (c) ou une quarantaine rigoureuse ? (Établissements de quarantaine, lazaret.)\n\n19. Quelle doit être, pour les personnes saines (passagers, marins, etc.), la durée :\n   - (a) de la quarantaine d'observation ? et,\n   - (b) de la quarantaine rigoureuse proprement dite ?

ORIGINE ET GENÈSE DU CHOLERA; ENDÉMICITÉ ET ÉPIDÉMICITÉ DE CETTE MALADIE DANS L'INDE\n\nLe choléra asiatique, susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique), se développe spontanément dans l'Inde, et c'est toujours du dehors qu'il arrive, quand il éclate dans d'autres pays.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\nIl ne revêt pas le caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n##### II. QUESTIONS DE TRANSMISSIBILITÉ\n\n1°. Transmissibilité par l'Homme\n\nLa Conférence accepte la transmissibilité du choléra par l'homme venant d'un milieu infecté; elle ne considère l'homme comme pouvant être la cause spécifique, qu'en dehors de l'influence de la localité infectée; en outre, elle le regarde comme le propagateur du choléra, lorsqu'il vient d'un endroit où le germe de la maladie existe déjà.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n2°. Transmissibilité par les Effets à Usage\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.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n3°. Transmissibilité par les Aliments et les Boissons\n\n(a) Aliments:\nLa Conférence, ne possédant pas de preuves concluantes pour la transmission du choléra par les aliments, ne se croit pas autorisée à prendre une décision à cet égard.\nRésultat du vote: 11 oui, 7 non.\n\n(b) Boissons:\nLe choléra peut être propagé par les boissons, particulièrement par l'eau.\nAdopté à l'unanimité.\n\n4°. Transmissibilité par les Animaux\n\nOn ne connaît aucun fait prouvant la transmissibilité du choléra par les animaux à l'homme, mais il est très-rationnel d'en admettre la possibilité.\nRésultat du vote: 10 oui, 2 non, 6 abstentions.",

        "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.",

Il y aura, dans chaque port ouvert au commerce, une autorité sanitaire composée de médecins et d'administrateurs, aidés par un personnel de service. Le nombre des membres de ces différentes catégories variera dans chaque port selon l'importance du mouvement maritime, mais il devra être suffisant pour pouvoir accomplir dans toutes les circonstances et avec rapidité les mesures exigées pour les navires, les équipages, et les passagers.\n\nLe chef de ce service sera toujours tenu au courant par des communications officielles de l'état sanitaire de tous les ports infectés de choléra.\n\n2. Les navires provenant d'un port net, n'ayant (d'après la déclaration, sous serment, du capitaine) touché dans leur voyage aucun port intermédiaire suspect, ni communiqué directement avec aucun navire suspect, et sur lesquels durant le voyage on n'aura constaté aucun cas suspect ou confirmé de choléra, auront la libre pratique.\n\n4. Les navires provenant d'un port suspect ou infecté et ceux provenant de ports non suspects, mais qui ont eu dans le voyage des relations intermédiaires compromettantes, ou sur lesquels il y a eu durant la traversée des cas suspects de maladie ou de mort de choléra, seront soumis dès leur arrivée à une visite médicale rigoureuse pour constater l'état sanitaire du bord.\n\n4. S'il résulte de la visite médicale qu'il n'existe parmi les hommes de l'équipage et les passagers aucun cas suspect de maladie ou de mort de choléra, le navire, avec tout ce qu'il renferme, sera admis à la libre pratique. Mais si des cas de choléra ou de nature suspecte se sont manifestés à bord durant la traversée, le navire, les vêtements et les effets à usage des gens de l'équipage et des passagers seront soumis d'abord à une désinfection rigoureuse, bien que l'équipage et les passagers aient été trouvés indemnes du choléra dans le port.\n\n5. S'il y a à l'arrivée des cas suspects de maladie ou de mort de choléra, les malades seront immédiatement transportés dans un lazaret ou dans un local isolé pouvant en tenir lieu et prêt à les recevoir; les cadavres seront jetés à la mer avec les précautions d'usage ou ensevelis après avoir été convenablement désinfectés; les passagers et l'équipage seront soumis à une désinfection rigoureuse, et le navire lui-même sera désinfecté, après qu'on en aura éloigné les passagers et la partie du personnel de l'équipage qui n'est pas nécessaire à la désinfection et à la surveillance.\n\nLes vêtements et les effets à usage des malades et même des passagers sains seront assujettis, dans un local spécial et sous le contrôle rigoureux de l'autorité sanitaire, à une radicale désinfection.\n\nAprès cette désinfection, les effets seront rendus aux passagers et aux personnes de l'équipage qui seront admis à libre pratique.\n\n6. Les marchandises débarquées seront admises à libre pratique, à l'exception des chiffons et autres objets susceptibles, que l'on devra soumettre à une radicale désinfection.\n\n## B. Système des Quarantaines, Provenances de Ports Infectés\n\n1°. Les provenances de ports infectés sont soumises à une observation variant de 1 à 7 jours pleins selon les cas, orientaux de l'Europe, et ailleurs dans certains cas exceptionnels. Dans les ports des Etats seulement, la durée de l'observation peut être portée à 10 jours.\n\n227 \n\n**AFP. No. 3**\n\n**Abstract of Proceedings**\n\n2°. Si l'autorité sanitaire a la preuve suffisante qu'aucun cas de choléra ou de nature suspecte n'a eu lieu à bord durant la traversée, la durée de l'observation est de 3 à 7 jours, à dater de l'inspection médicale.\n\n| Condition | Durée de l'observation |\n| --- | --- |\n| Traversée d'au moins 7 jours | 24 heures |\n\nSi dans ces conditions la traversée a duré au moins 7 jours, l'observation est réduite à 24 heures pour les constatations et les désinfections qui pourraient être jugées nécessaires.\n\nDans les cas de cette catégorie, la quarantaine d'observation peut être purgée à bord, tant qu'aucun cas de choléra ou d'accidents suspects ne s'est manifesté, et si les conditions hygiéniques du navire le permettent.\n\nDans ces cas, le déchargement du navire n'est point obligatoire.\n\n3°. En cas de choléra ou d'accidents suspects soit durant la traversée, soit après l'arrivée, la durée de l'observation pour les personnes non malades est de 7 jours pleins, à dater de leur isolement dans un lazaret ou dans un endroit pouvant en tenir lieu.\n\nLes malades sont débarqués et reçoivent les soins convenables dans un local isolé et séparé des personnes en observation.\n\nLe navire et tous les objets susceptibles sont soumis à une désinfection rigoureuse, après laquelle les personnes restées à bord du navire sont assujetties à une observation de 7 jours.\n\n4°. Les provenances des ports suspects, c'est-à-dire voisins d'un port où règne le choléra et ayant des relations libres avec ce port, peuvent être soumises à une observation, qui n'excédera pas 5 jours, si aucun accident suspect ne s'est produit à bord.\n\n## Dispositions diverses\n\n5°. Les navires chargés d'émigrants, de pèlerins, et, en général, tous les navires jugés particulièrement dangereux pour la santé publique, peuvent, dans les conditions mentionnées précédemment, être l'objet de précautions spéciales que déterminera l'autorité sanitaire du port d'arrivée.\n\n6°. Lorsque les ressources locales ne permettent pas d'exécuter les mesures ci-dessus prescrites, le navire infecté est dirigé sur le plus prochain lazaret, après avoir reçu tous les secours que réclame sa position.\n\n7°. Un navire provenant d'un port infecté, qui a fait escale dans un port intermédiaire et y a reçu libre pratique sans avoir fait de quarantaine, est considéré et traité comme provenant d'un port infecté.\n\n8°. Dans les cas de simple suspicion, les mesures de désinfection ne sont pas de rigueur, mais elles peuvent être pratiquées toutes les fois que l'autorité sanitaire le jugera convenable.\n\n9°. Un port où le choléra règne épidémiquement ne doit plus appliquer de quarantaine proprement dite, mais doit pratiquer seulement des mesures de désinfection.\n\n## C - Dispositions Communes aux Deux Systèmes (Inspection médicale.—Quarantaines)\n\nI. Le capitaine, le médecin, et les officiers du bord sont tenus de déclarer à l'autorité sanitaire tout ce qu'ils peuvent savoir d'apparition suspecte de maladie parmi l'équipage et les passagers.\n\n87344",

        "content_text": "616\n\n3 Jain [SENAT] noises se relirèrent vers cette époque, elles disparurent peu à peu du Tonkin. 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. Gouin a la parole pour le dépôt d'un rapport.\n\nM. Gouin: J'ai l'honneur de déposer sur le bureau du Sénat un rapport fait au nom de la commission des finances sur un projet de...",

        "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\n756 (1885) 12 Février\n\nUn commandant particulier a été également envoyé à Aninie; la perception d'un faible droit de sortie sur les exportations d'huile de palme suffira pour subvenir aux dépenses résultant de la création de cette administration qui était instamment demandée par les négociants français établis à la côte d'Or. Enfin, la ratification officielle de 72 traités passés avec différents chefs de la côte d'Ivoire, de la côte d'Or et des régions avoisinant le Gabon, a permis à notre diplomatie de se présenter à la conférence de Berlin, munie de titres réguliers.\n\nAu Sénégal, nous avons récolté ce qu'avaient préparé les glorieuses et pénibles campagnes des années précédentes. Les couleurs françaises flottent sur le Haut-Niger; nous y avons lancé une première canonnière, et cet événement a eu jusqu'au centre de l'Afrique un retentissement tel que la Djemma de Tombouctou n'a pas hésité à envoyer un ambassadeur au Sénégal pour porter à la colonie et à l'administration la parole de paix et d'amitié, et les assurer de son désir de nouer bientôt avec la France des relations permanentes.\n\nC'est dans cette voie que, d'accord avec leurs représentants, nous les encourageons à entrer. Il appartiendra à la métropole de faciliter cette transformation en abaissant, à l'entrée en France, les droits qui frappent les produits coloniaux.\n\nLa Guadeloupe, la Réunion et la Martinique, ont donné un gage des sentiments de solidarité qui les unissent à la métropole en votant, sur la demande du département, un tarif de douanes qui assure de sérieux avantages aux produits de l'industrie métropolitaine.\n\nPar une équitable réciprocité, elles sont en droit de demander un traitement de faveur pour leurs produits à l'entrée en France. Je n'épargnerai, en ce qui me concerne, aucun effort pour arriver à ce résultat désirable, et j'ai la satisfaction de constater que, sous la réserve de l'étude plus complète de cette détaxe, M. le ministre des finances n'est pas opposé au principe de ce projet.\n\n## Dans l'Inde\n\nLes mêmes considérations qui ont déterminé la création d'Obock ont amené le ministre à ordonner l'établissement à Pondichery et à Mahé de dépôts de charbon qui dispenseront nos navires de relâcher à Singapour. La présence de nos bâtiments dans ces ports y produira un mouvement des plus profitables aux intérêts de la métropole et de la colonie.\n\nJe n'aurais, en outre, dans nos établissements de l'Inde, qu'à signaler l'heureux apaisement amené par l'application, pour l'élection des conseils électifs, du décret du 26 février 1884, qui est votre œuvre, messieurs, si malheureusement les désastres causés par de terribles inondations n'étaient venus momentanément troubler l'essor de la colonie. Vous savez qu'une subvention de 300,000 fr. a été votée par la Chambre pour pourvoir aux premiers besoins; les derniers rapports reçus de Pondichéry me font craindre que ce ne soit un secours bien insuffisant et que le Gouvernement ne soit bientôt amené à faire un nouvel appel au Parlement.\n\n## Autres Colonies\n\nSur la côte orientale d'Afrique, nous citons la création d'un établissement nouveau auquel l'avenir réserve, je crois, une grande importance. Nos droits à Obock remontent à 1862, mais il n'y avait eu jusqu'à présent aucune prise de possession officielle. Les opérations militaires engagées dans l'Extrême-Orient doivent être appliquées à la conférence de Berlin.\n\nLe conseil colonial, après avis de la chambre de commerce de Saigon, a voté un projet de tarif douanier, préparé conformément à nos instructions, et qui, dans l'union douanière de la presqu'île indo-chinoise, constituée au Cambodge, à l'Annam et au Tonkin, assurera aux produits français une détaxe de 75 p.100 sur les droits qu'il comprend et qui varient de 10 à 15 p. 100 de la valeur des différents produits. J'espère être prochainement en mesure de soumettre cet important travail à votre examen.\n\nLe département ne néglige, du reste, aucun des moyens dont il peut disposer pour ouvrir au commerce national les débouchés que promettent les marchés de l'Indo-Chine.\n\nLa concession des mines de l'Annam et du Tonkin qui résultera de l'adjudication, et leur exploitation seront réglées dans le sens du travail d'une commission qui s'est entourée des renseignements qu'ont pu lui fournir, à Paris, tous les hommes compétents et qui complètera son étude d'après les rapports d'une mission que le département va prochainement envoyer sur les lieux.\n\n## Mesures Économiques\n\nDans un même ordre d'idées, le tarif de droits différentiels sur lequel vous avez été appelés à donner votre avis dans une précédente session a été promulgué par le décret du 27 août 1884. La Cochinchine, d'autre part, vient de transmettre au département un projet qui sera certainement favorablement accueilli par l'industrie métropolitaine.\n\nMais si, au point de vue administratif et politique, l'intervention du département n'a que de rares occasions de s'exercer à la Réunion, à la Martinique et à la Guadeloupe, la crise économique que traversent ces colonies est malheureusement une source d'incessantes préoccupations. Nous avons dû pourvoir aux nécessités du moment par des mesures concertées avec le département des finances. Je citerai le décret du 18 août, autorisant l'émission de bons de caisse à la Martinique et à la Guadeloupe; le décret du 6 décembre dernier autorisant la banque de la Réunion à porter son capital de trois à quatre millions.\n\nCette extension de notre influence pourra, dans un avenir prochain, faire d'Obock un port de transit sérieux. Derrière la côte qui constitue notre nouvelle possession s'étend, en effet, une vaste et fertile région encore peu explorée : le Choa. Le sol y est fertile et les richesses qu'il produit n'attendent pour fournir les éléments d'un trafic considérable que l'établissement de débouchés faciles et de voies de communication. Or, c'est à Tadjourah qu'aboutit le chemin suivi par les caravanes. Il est donc permis d'espérer que notre colonie d'Obock bénéficiera dans une large mesure du courant commercial que l'action civilisatrice des puissances européennes qui explorent cette partie de l'Afrique ne manquera pas d'établir entre le Choa et les ports de la mer Rouge.\n\nMais, nous ne nous faisons pas d'illusion sur la portée et l'efficacité de ces mesures: le véritable remède à la crise agricole et industrielle dont souffrent ces colonies sucrières, résultera d'une transformation partielle de leur production par le développement des cultures secondaires : les cafés, cacaos, vanilles, etc.\n\nD'autre part, sur la demande qui lui a été adressée par le département, la banque de l'Indo-Chine s'est préoccupée d'installer au Tonkin une succursale de son établissement de crédit, qui rendra les plus grands services aux négociants qui se sont installés à Haï-Phong et à Hanoi, et à ceux qui n'attendent que la pacification complète du pays pour s'y établir.\n\nUn service de renseignements, destiné à fournir aux immigrants toutes les indications qui peuvent leur être utiles pour faciliter leur installation, fonctionne à Haï-Phong, parallèlement au bureau d'informations commerciales, chargé de centraliser les renseignements recueillis par les résidents sur les productions, le commerce et l'industrie du pays, et de fournir au département tous les renseignements qui peuvent contribuer à faire exactement connaître le Tonkin.\n\n## Administration Coloniale\n\nSi, dans la voie que je viens d'indiquer, quelque pas en avant a été fait, une grande part de l'honneur en revient à vous, messieurs, qui n'avez cessé de prêter à l'administration le concours le plus empressé et le plus dévoué.\n\nJe profite de cette occasion pour souhaiter ici la bienvenue, comme vice-président du conseil, à notre collègue M. Berlet, appelé, par un décret récent du Président de la République, à remplacer dans cette fonction M. Rouvier, ministre du commerce. M. Berlet, par sa grande expérience des questions administratives et parlementaires, représente au bureau du conseil l'élément métropolitain; l'élément colonial est, vous le savez, messieurs, représenté par la plus haute, la plus vénérée personnalité des colonies françaises, notre cher doyen M. Victor Schoelcher, le plus jeune de nous par la chaleur du cœur et l'ardeur qu'il apporte à la défense de toutes les causes justes et généreuses.\n\nJ'ai trouvé au sein de l'administration des colonies des collaborateurs précieux. Je n'ai pas à faire ici l'éloge des chefs de service qui vous sont personnellement connus et qui sont devenus vos collègues; mais je serai l'interprète de leurs sentiments en même temps que des miens en rappelant le zèle, le labeur constant et modeste des fonctionnaires placés ici sous leurs ordres et des agents qui, aux divers degrés de la hiérarchie, représentent notre administration aux colonies.\n\n## Nouvelle-Calédonie\n\nEn Nouvelle-Calédonie, la reprise de l'immigration néo-hébridais a fourni à la colonie la main-d'œuvre qui lui est nécessaire pour le développement de ses exploitations industrielles et agricoles. Mais si ces opérations ont été de nouveau autorisées, ce n'est qu'à la condition que, par un contrôle sérieux de l'administration, elles ne perdent jamais le caractère de contrats librement consentis. Notre surveillance sur ce point ne sera pas mise en défaut, et la première infraction aux règles de l'humanité serait le signal d'une nouvelle et immédiate interdiction.\n\nJe ne terminerai pas cette revue rapide sans dire un mot d'une question qui, à Nouméa, nous a valu de vives récriminations: je veux parler du décret du 16 août 1884 portant délimitation du territoire pénitentiaire. Notre honorable collègue M. Moncalon ne m'en voudra pas de dire que les protestations que les colons ont adressées à ce sujet au département ont été empreintes d'une manifeste exagération.\n\nLa loi du 30 mai 1854, sur l'application de la peine des travaux forcés, a fait de la Nouvelle-Calédonie une colonie pénitentiaire; elle a prévu que des concessions de terres pourraient être accordées au bout d'un certain temps aux transportés; il était donc de toute nécessité, sous peine d'être amené dans un temps donné à ne plus appliquer la loi, de déterminer la réserve du domaine dont l'Etat peut disposer pour la transportation. Est-ce à dire qu'il soit question de dépouiller les colons libres, ou d'écarter de la colonie ceux qui voudraient s'y établir? Loin de nous cette pensée! et je puis affirmer hautement que dans l'application du décret du 16 août il sera tenu le plus grand compte des droits acquis par les colons, et que des terres considérables resteront disponibles pour ceux qui voudront les exploiter sérieusement.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, je n'oublie pas que, si les entreprises coloniales de la France ont été couronnées de succès, nous le devons avant tout aux héroïques efforts de nos marins et de nos soldats. J'ai pu, dans certaines parties de l'exposé que je viens de faire, heurter les opinions de quelques-uns d'entre vous; je suis certain à l'avance de réunir l'unanimité de vos approbations en vous proposant d'unir dans un même sentiment de patriotique reconnaissance tous ceux - obscurs ou glorieux - qui, soit au Tonkin, soit à Madagascar ou dans les mers de Chine, luttent au loin pour faire respecter le nom de la France et le drapeau national.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nEn résumé, messieurs, le programme dont, sous la haute et libérale direction de l'amiral Peyron, j'ai eu l'honneur de poursuivre la réalisation, peut se résumer comme suit :\n\nComme politique extérieure, conservation et exercice effectif des droits de la France;\n\nComme politique économique, protection des intérêts de la production métropolitaine dans les colonies; protection sur le marché métropolitain de la production coloniale.\n\nEnfin, notre administration s'est appuyée sur une double base: en France, appel aux conseils éclairés et à l'expérience pratique des représentants élus des colonies; aux colonies, création d'assemblées locales recrutées par le suffrage universel.\n\nM. Paul Brunat, chargé d'une mission commerciale au Tonkin, vient d'adresser au sous-secrétaire d'Etat de la marine et des colonies le rapport suivant, où il consigne le résultat sommaire de ses observations.\n\nL'initiative de la mission que je viens de remplir au Tonkin est due à la chambre de commerce de Lyon qui, au mois de mai dernier, me fit demander à Saigon, où je résidais, si j'étais disposé à l'entreprendre, et qui, sur ma réponse affirmative, proposa aux diverses autres chambres de commerce de France de se joindre à elle et de m'envoyer des questionnaires sur ce qui pouvait les intéresser.",

A body of military police, in addition to the regular civilian force, were in attendance in order to keep the throng of sightseers within their proper limits. And their duties were by no means light, for the proverbial curiosity of the Chinese urged some adventurous coolies again and again to dash through the cordon, undeterred by the fate of their predecessor. Shortly after five o'clock, the troops began to muster on the Parade Ground. The Northamptonshire Regiment, the Royal Artillery, and the Gun Lascars took part in the Parade. After going through a little preliminary drill, the men were drawn up in a double line which extended from the top of the Parade Ground right down Queen's Road to the extreme end of the Cricket Ground. The Gun Lascars with their guns were placed at right angles to the column at the top of the Parade Ground, and the Band was grouped at the back, about the centre. The clock had scarcely given the last stroke of six when the salute by the band and troops announced the arrival of His Excellency, who took up his position at the saluting point. Immediately after his arrival, a salute of seven guns was given by the Lascars, followed by the firing of a feu de joie by the whole troops assembled, after which the band played a few bars of \"God Save the Queen.\" This was repeated twice, thus giving in all a salute of twenty-one guns. At the call of Colonel Anderson, the men then gave three ringing cheers for Her Majesty and \"one cheer more,\" after which the band played the Anthem of \"God Save the Queen\" in its entirety. The men were then arranged in their respective divisions, and with their officers at their head, marched past in order, each division saluting as they passed His Excellency. They then returned to their original ground and were dismissed to the barracks.\n\nREJOICINGS AT THE BARRACKS.\n\nThe 58th Regiment celebrated the Jubilee in a most thorough manner. The square at the rear of the Murray Barracks was artistically illuminated for the occasion with Chinese lanterns, which were hung in festoons round the walls. On the wall of the building itself, the lamps were arranged in gigantic letters, in the form of the letters \"V.R.\" in the centre, flanked on either side with the words \"Queen,\" \"Empress,\" and the number of the Regiment \"58\" at either extremity. Underneath the letters \"V.R.\" were placed shields bearing the coat of arms of the regiment, the whole presenting one of the most effective spectacles it is possible to imagine. Long tables stretched right across the square, on which was placed a most substantial supper. The men having taken their seats and the officers being present, the popular Colonel of the regiment, Col. Anderson, whose appearance was the signal for an outburst of cheering, addressed them as follows:—\n\nOfficers, Non-commissioned Officers, and men of the 58th Northamptonshire Regiment. We are assembled together this evening to celebrate the Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, Empress of India. No better day could be chosen, as it completes a cycle, to chronicle the vast strides made by the Empire and to record the improvements and developments of our national resources during the last 50 years. This day is celebrated not only by British subjects throughout the Empire, but also by all nationalities under the British flag, each one vying with another to do honour to Her Majesty, who by her responsible ministers governs the most influential kingdom in the world. By her equity, Her Majesty has gained the highest position as a Sovereign, and by her kindness, the love and esteem of a nation. Well may we who wear Her Majesty's uniform be proud of the high privilege; our insignia, our colours, and our badges are our warrants to uphold Queen and country. We hold sacred our island home. With heart and soul then let us join in our national anthem to our Queen who has the heart of all her subjects, wishing Her Majesty long life, health, and happiness to pilot us through many more years of prosperity.\n\nThe toast was then drunk with ringing cheers which might almost have been heard at the other side of the Island, while the National Anthem was sung by all present in an equally enthusiastic manner. An alteration was made in the anthem, the following verse being substituted for the second verse of the original:—\n\nDo thou her steps direct,\n\nWatch o'er her and protect\n\nOur gracious Queen:\n\nShad o'er her heart a ray\n\nOf wisdom's glorious day,\n\nLov'd be Victoria's sway,\n\nGod Save the Queen.\n\nAt the conclusion of the anthem, cheers were given for Colonel Anderson, Major Ellis, and the different officers. Many of the officers were then taken by several of the men on their shoulders and carried between the lines of tables, those seated greeting each officer as he was borne past with the most vigorous cheering and applause. The officers then withdrew, and the men were for a considerable time engaged on the substantial fare which was placed before them. A stage had been erected in the square, and supper being over, the band and the minstrel troupe of the regiment gave a most enjoyable concert. The entertainment was kept going with much vigour until close upon midnight. In spite of the festive character of the evening and the numbers gathered together, the men behaved in a most exemplary manner, not a single case of removal to the guard room occurring, a fact which speaks well for the character of the regiment.\n\nTHE NAVAL DISPLAY.\n\nPunctually as the nine o'clock gun fired, the Victor Emanuel, Cordelia, and Firebrand were lit up with blue lights, and simultaneously a discharge of rockets took place. The instantaneous transformation of the dark forms of the vessels into a brilliant illumination produced a most striking and pleasing effect and elicited many expressions of admiration from the sightseers along the Praya. But what excited the most admiration was the playing of the powerful electric search light of the Cordelia. This was now thrown up towards the sky and anon swept along the hillside and over the waters of the harbour, one moment lighting up the Victor Emanuel and the next resting on a sampan under sail, making the ugly little craft look like some fairy vessel. Government House and Head Quarter House, with the surrounding trees, were thrown into relief like pictures in a lime light exhibition, and pretty effects were produced in all directions. The display was only of short duration, but was very beautiful while it lasted; before half-past nine, the blue lights were extinguished, and the electric light ceased to play soon afterwards, 49 vessels resuming their ordinary night appearance.\n\nTHE PARSEE CELEBRATION.\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee community attended the \"Jasan,\" or thanksgiving ceremony, in celebration of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Jubilee, which took place at 9 a.m. on Tuesday at their Club House in Shelley Street, which building was elegantly decorated with flowers and evergreens. All the Trustees of the Parsee Charity Funds, Messrs. H. N. Mody, N. P. Dhalla, H. M. Mehla, and E. C. Sethna were present. The usual religious ceremony was performed at the commencement, with appropriate prayers.\n\n250",

        "content_text": "# \n\n-- \n\nsacrés par le mariage, tandis qu'on n'y trouve pas le même danger quand ces rapports s'exercent en dehors du mariage et qu'ils sont en outre démesurément multipliés, qu'ils se répètent jusqu'à quinze et trente fois par vingt-quatre heures, comme on a démontré qu'il arrive aux prostituées de maisons de tolérance?\n\nJe voudrais aussi avoir quelques éclaircissements sur l'état moral de ceux de mes confrères sur qui pèse le règlement et qui se trouvent dans la triste nécessité de donner un certificat de santé à une syphilitique condylomateuse chez qui ils viennent de voir disparaître une des manifestations actives de la période. Il me semble qu'en mettant sur la carte d'une telle prostituée la note « saine » (telle est du moins la formule qu'on emploie dans mon pays), le médecin n'a que deux alternatives: ou bien il abjure toutes les convictions scientifiques modernes, ou bien, reconnaissant chaque fois la fausseté de son attestation, il fait des compromis avec sa conscience.\n\nIl résulte de tout ceci que la réglementation doit nécessairement en venir à écarter des rangs de la prostitution inserite toutes les syphilitiques, depuis le jour où elles contractent la contagion jusqu'au moment où elles sortent de la période condylomateuse, c'est-à-dire pendant trois ou quatre ans au minimum. Autrement elle n'est pas en droit de se faire considérer comme une institution qui rend à protéger la population exposée à l'infection syphilitique dans ses rapports sexuels avec les femmes inscrites.\n\nMais si ce mode de faire prévalait, les prostituées malades rentreraient dans la population, car il est matériellement impossible de les garder toutes emprisonnées. Il faudrait les remplacer par d'autres, saines, qui tomberaient infailliblement malades à leur tour pendant les deux ou trois premières années de l'exercice de leur profession, comme nous l'avons vu plus haut, et il faudrait toujours continuer de même. De cette manière, la réglementation recruterait sans cesse des femmes saines pour le service des clients de la prostitution, et rejetterait des femmes syphilitiques dans la population. Ainsi le système pourrait peut-être réaliser son idéal.\n\nUne autre solution qui atteindrait mieux le but et répondrait davantage aux exigences de la science, serait de n'admettre parmi les prostituées inscrites que des syphilitiques arrivées au terme de la période condylomateuse ou entrées dans la période gommeuse, car celles-là seraient réellement incapables de transmettre la contagion.\n\nSi les règlements ne soutiennent pas la critique au point de vue des doctrines modernes sur la syphilis, voyons jusqu'à quel point ils sont pratiques.\n\nAdmettons que, grâce à la réglementation, on réussisse à éloigner \n\n## 11\n\nde la prostitution officielle toutes les femmes évidemment malades, et que la syphilitique, lorsqu'elle quitte l'hôpital où sont internées les inscrites, ne présente nulle part, ni sur la peau, ni sur les membranes muqueuses, la moindre trace des infiltrations spécifiques auxquelles elle vient d'être sujette. Admettons qu'elle n'ait ni fissures, ni écorchures, qu'elle ne conserve le principe de la contagion que dans le sang, et que ce principe même soit très affaibli grâce à la médication à laquelle le sujet vient d'être soumis. La prostitution inscrite contiendrait ainsi seulement des femmes dans les périodes intermédiaires de la syphilis où les malades ne présentent pas de symptômes apparents. Nous admettons, en d'autres termes, que l'idéal de la réglementation actuelle soit atteint et qu'elle ait pu amener la prostitution surveillée à l'état qu'elle se propose. Voyons même dans ce cas jusqu'à quel point le système serait pratique.\n\nSi le sang du syphilitique condylomateux reste contagieux, il pourra communiquer l'infection à ceux qui l'entourent aussi longtemps que dure cette contagiosité, et même dans les simples rapports journaliers que nécessite la vie en commun. Le danger de contamination devient beaucoup plus considérable pendant les attouchements particulièrement intimes, où le corps du malade entre en contact avec celui de l'individu bien portant, comme c'est le cas dans l'allaitement et dans les rapports sexuels. Enfin, le danger arrive à son maximum dans les rapports sexuels entre l'individu sain et la prostituée atteinte de syphilis condylomateuse, surtout si cette prostituée se trouve dans une maison de tolérance. En effet, la fréquence extrême des rapports, particulière à ces établissements - quinze à trente par jour - favorise la formation des écorchures et des plaies sur les parties sexuelles de la femme et facilite d'autant la transmission de la syphilis.\n\nToutes ces considérations ont leur importance, même pour le cas où l'individu ne présente aucune manifestation apparente de la maladie. Mais en réalité, les conditions sont encore moins favorables. En effet, il faut aussi tenir compte des faits suivants :\n\na) Les organes sexuels des femmes, accessibles à l'observation clinique, présentent quelquefois des infiltrations spécifiques qu'il est pourtant impossible de constater, même au moyen de l'examen le plus minutieux, ainsi que l'ont prouvé les recherches pathologo-anatomiques de Neumann.\n\nb) Il peut se produire des infiltrations spécifiques très étendues, avec sécrétion abondante, sur les muqueuses qui restent inaccessibles à l'œil dans les recherches cliniques ordinaires, par exemple sur la muqueuse qui revêt le col et la cavité de la matrice et de l'urètre. Ces sécrétions se répandent facilement sur les parties sexuelles. \n\n## 106",

Liang Tounyen, Taotai de la Douane de Tien-tsin, décoré de la Plume de Paon, fonctionnaire de Second Rang, &c.;\n\nLesquels, s'étant rendus à Nantchang, ont reconnu, après une minutieuse enquête, que les causes de la mort du Sous-Préfet de Nantchang, Kiang Tchao-tang, sont les suivantes :--\n\nLe 29 de la première lune de la présente année (le 22 Février, 1900) M. Kiang Tchao-tang, Sous-Préfet de Nantchang, s'était rendu à la mission pour y négocier avec le missionnaire Catholique Français, M. Lacruche, au sujet d'anciennes affaires. L'accord n'ayant pu s'établir entre eux, le Sous-Préfet Kiang s'était coupé la gorge dans un accès de colère, acte à la suite duquel avaient été propagées contre le missionnaire Français des rumeurs calomnieuses, d'où étaient résultées les violences du 30 de la deuxième lune (le 25 Février, 1900).\n\nLe Gouvernement Chinois ayant de lui-même châtié les coupables, son Excellence le Ministre de France à Pékin et le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de Chine sont convenus des Articles énoncés ci-après, afin de ne laisser place à aucune contestation ultérieure:---\n\nArticle 1. Il sera versé entre les mains du Consul-Général de France à Shanghai, pour les familles des cinq professeurs tués, et en argent K'ou Ping K'ou-se, un secours de 40,000 taels outre 10,000 taels destinés aux frais d'autre lieu et du voyage de cinq nouveaux professeurs.\n\nArt. 2. Pour les anciennes affaires de Sin Teh'ouang, ainsi que pour les missions, école, et établissements hospitaliers détruits lors des récents événements de Nantchang, et pour les pertes immobilières et mobilières quelconques des Chrétiens, il sera versé une indemnité globale de 200,000 taels, sur laquelle la mission prélèvera elle-même les sommes nécessaires pour indemniser les Chrétiens de leurs pertes dans les affaires sus-énoncées, qui se trouveront ainsi définitivement réglées.\n\nArt. 3. La somme de 200,000 taels K'ou Ping K'ou-se énoncée à l'Article précédent sera répartie en dix versements de 20,000 taels chacun, lesquels seront effectués chaque trimestre entre les mains de l'Évêque Français à Kiukiang.\n\nArt. 4. Les autorités locales remplaceront, dans le plus bref délai, ceux des titres de propriété de la mission qui avaient été détruits au cours des présents événements.\n\nUne habitation sera prêtée dans la ville de Nantchang à la mission, en attendant qu'elle ait pu reconstruire une maison.\n\nArt. 5. Le Gouverneur de Kiangsi publiera sans retard une Proclamation, dont le texte a été arrêté entre le Ministre de France à Pékin et le Ouai-ou Pou.\n\nLe présent Accord a été rédigé en langue Française et Chinoise, et en quatre exemplaires dont—\n\nL'un pour la Légation de France à Pékin;\n\nL'un pour le Ministre des Affaires Étrangères de Chine\n\nL'un pour le Gouverneur de la Province du Kiangsi;\n\nEt l'un pour la mission Française de Kioukiang.\n\nFait à Pékin, le\n\n;\n\n7\n\nConformément à l'invitation reçue du Ouai-ou Pou, la présente Proclamation est, en conséquence, publiée pour faire savoir à la population de la province tout entière, lettrés et marchands, soldats et civils, que chacun devra observer paisiblement son devoir, se garder de donner de nouveau à la légère créance à de faux bruits ou d'en forger et propager à tort et à travers, et de susciter ainsi des incidents, toutes choses par lesquelles leurs auteurs s'attireraient eux-mêmes des maux.\n\nSachez bien tous que les Missions ont pour but primordial d'exhorter les hommes au bien, et que les missionnaires sont des gens convenables et polis; que les Chrétiens, à quelque confession qu'ils appartiennent, sont tous des enfants de la Chine, et qu'ils doivent obéissance aux lois de l'Empire. Pour toutes questions relatives aux unions matrimoniales, aux propriétés, aux affaires d'argent, aux querelles, aux litiges et procès, les deux parties doivent porter leurs plaintes aux Magistrats locaux, qui les jugeront avec équité.\n\nLes Chrétiens ne doivent pas non plus porter de fausses accusations dictées par des sentiments de haine ou de rancune, ni solliciter, en dissimulant la vérité, les missionnaires d'intervenir, conformément aux Traités; cela dans le but d'assurer entre les Chrétiens et les non-Chrétiens l'égalité de traitement d'où naitront d'elles-mêmes la concorde et la paix.\n\nQue chacun se conforme à ce qui précède, sans y contrevenir.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nMr. Carnegie to Consul Werner.\n\nPeking, July 9, 1906. WITH reference to your despatch of the 20th March and to other correspondence, I beg to inclose copies of a despatch and inclosures which I am sending to Sir Edward Grey on the Nanchang case.\n\nI shall be glad if you will keep a close watch on the manner in which the promised punishments and rewards are carried out, and keep me informed of what is done. You should communicate with His Majesty's Supreme Court in regard to the £700 falling to the estate of Mr. Kingham, and to the £4,000, which is to be settled on the infant, Vera Kingham, and be guided by the advice of Sir H. de Sausmarez in both matters. When you have decided where the payment of £4,700 should be made-Kiukiang or Shanghae--you should inform the Governor of Kiangsi and request him to remit that amount to your credit before the 30th September next. The payment, when made, should be reported to me.\n\nI am, &c. (Signed) LANCELOT D. CARNEGIE.\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nProclamation.\n\nLE Ouai-ou Pou et le Ministre de France à Pékin ayant désigné chacun un Délégué pour faire une enquête sur l'affaire de Nantchang, il a été reconnu:\n\nQue, le 29 de la première lune de la présente année (22 Février, 1906), M. Kiang Tchao-tang, Sous-Préfet de Nantchang, s'était rendu à la mission, avec le missionnaire Catholique Français, M. Lacruche, pour y négocier au sujet d'anciennes affaires, et que, l'accord n'ayant pu s'établir entre eux, le Sous-Préfet Kiang s'était coupé la gorge dans un accès de colère, acte à la suite duquel aient été propagées contre le missionnaire Français des rumeurs calomnieuses, d'où étaient résultés les événements du 30 de la deuxième lune (25 Février).\n\nAujourd'hui, les deux Gouvernements, considérant qu'il est très malheureux que ces faits se soient produits, et désirant que la concorde règne pour toujours entre les Chrétiens et les non-Chrétiens, et qu'il ne soit plus répandu contre les missions de rumeurs fausses et calomnieuses destinées à abuser et égarer la population, ont conclu entre eux un Arrangement stipulant que les affaires, tant anciennes que nouvelles, sont réglées et terminées, et qu'une Proclamation sera publiée par l'autorité de cette province pour rectifier les faux bruits précédemment répandus.",

As it is, I do not think they are likely to make any further progress with their negotiations, which will only block the way for future operations; and the best thing they can do now is to invite the other three groups frankly into the negotiations, and avail themselves of their experience in devising means of overcoming the deadlock now created. I have not formed a great opinion of Straight as a negotiator.\n\nAs regards Korostovetz's forecast of international control of China's finances, perhaps he is going rather fast. Constitutional affairs in this country have been proceeding lately with such rapidity that they can no longer be neglected as a factor. Our experience of international control of this sort is practically limited to countries without a constitution, like Turkey and Egypt, and it remains to be seen how it would work in a country which had a popular voice and of the vast extent of China.\n\nAs regards the Hukuang loan, we are expecting the memorandum from Liang Shih-yi every day. Two days ago he informed Sir J. Jordan in conversation that he was sending it in very shortly, and that he was working in complete accordance with the views of the new president, Sheng Kung-pao. On the other hand, I am told that Sheng has a personal interest in the success of the present negotiations, since he realises that the construction of the projected lines will materially enhance the value of his various coal mines and ironworks in their neighbourhood. On the whole, I think we have reason to be hopeful of the outlook.\n\nYours very truly,\n**E. G. HILLIER**\n\n(This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.)\n\n## CHINA RAILWAYS\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nNo. 1  \n405  \n7234  \nProt 6 MAR  \n[February 15]\n\n### SECTION 1\n\nSir F. Bertie to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received February 15.) (No. 75.)  \nParis, February 14, 1911.\n\nWITH reference to my telegram No. 9 of this evening, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a communication from M. Pichon which reached me this evening, in reply to the enquiry which I addressed to his Excellency on receipt of your unnumbered telegram of the 11th instant as to the views held by the French Government on the proposals recently put forward by the United States Government in regard to the projected Chinese loan.\n\nI have, &c.  \n**FRANCIS BERTIE**\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1\n\n**Note communicated to Sir F. Bertie by M. Pichon**\n\nLE 12 février courant, Son Excellence l'Ambassadeur d'Angleterre a bien voulu communiquer à M. Pichon une information et une demande du Gouvernement des Etats-Unis relatives à l'emprunt de 250,000,000 de francs qu'il négocie actuellement à Pékin, en exprimant le désir de connaître à cet égard les vues du Gouvernement de la république.\n\nUne communication analogue a été faite à la même date à l'Ambassadeur de France à Washington, qui l'a transmise au Gouvernement français. Le Ministre des Affaires Étrangères a fait connaître à M. Jusserand, en réponse à sa question, que les Gouvernements anglais, allemand, et français, ainsi que les financiers de ces trois pays, s'étaient entendus sur le principe de n'encourager qu'un emprunt chinois présentant toutes garanties financières et économiques et conclu dans des conditions de partage absolu des avantages entre les participants. Les financiers et le Gouvernement américain ont paru disposés à se rallier à ces principes et à participer dans ces conditions à l'entente des trois groupes.\n\nToutefois, la demande persistente de nomination d'un conseiller américain, fût-ce pour la réforme monétaire seule-demande qui heurte d'ailleurs à l'opposition énergiquement formulée à Pékin de la Russie et du Japon-ne paraît pas conciliable avec les principes d'égalité des avantages susmentionnés.\n\nQuant à la déclaration éventuelle des quatre Puissances à Pékin, suggérée par Mr. Knox (pour affirmer qu'elles n'accorderont à leurs nationaux aucun appui en vue d'emprunts sans garanties, ni surveillance d'emploi des fonds), elle serait conforme aux principes de l'entente anglo-franco-allemande et ne soulèverait pas d'objection du Gouvernement français, si les Gouvernements anglais et allemand étaient également disposés à donner des instructions dans ce sens à leurs représentants à Pékin.\n\nLe Gouvernement de la république, en remerciant le Gouvernement britannique de son obligeante communication, lui sera reconnaissant de lui faire connaître également ses vues sur la question posée par le Gouvernement américain.\n\nParis, le 13 février, 1911.\n\n`[1913 p-1]`",

We propose, when it comes up for discussion, to state that the objections raised to the previous resolution apply, of course, equally to the present one, and that we shall regard its adoption as fatal to the work of the Conference and to the condition",

The only important contemporary amendment, as compared with the original resolutions, consisted in the interpolation of the clause italicised in article 16, which was moved as an amendment by the German delegation at the ninth session and accepted by us. For the definitions and article 17 we were indebted to the labours of the Technical Committee.\n\n50. Of the above draft articles, No. 9, which was based on a resolution proposed by Sir W. Collins at the eighth session, figures as article 9 of the final convention, and No. 18 corresponds to article 20.\n\nNos. 10-16 form the basis of final articles 10-13, but only after they had undergone very important modifications at a subsequent stage, which will be referred to later on.\n\n51. No. 17, corresponding to final article 14, also underwent subsequent modifications, which may be conveniently dealt with here. In the first place clause (d), which contains a reference to codeine, has been omitted, and consequently there is no mention of codeine in the definition at the head of the chapter. This amendment was moved by the German delegation at the twelfth session, on the ground that there was no evidence that the drug in question was calculated to produce a mania or give rise to habituation. The resolution was supported by the Russian delegation; but opposed by our own, by the Americans, and by the Chinese, on the ground that, although the abuse of codeine was not so generally recognised as in the case of morphine and cocaine, there was not wanting evidence of its occurrence. On a division, the resolution was lost by 8 votes to 2.\n\n52. At the twenty-third session, however (19th January), when the article came up for second reading, the Germans again brought forward their amendment, and stated that if it were rejected they could not vote for the following clause (now article 14 (d)), on the ground that the introduction of codeine as a drug which at present called for special measures, would indicate that other drugs might be penalised without adequate reason. On a division this amendment received two votes for (Germany and Russia) and two against (United States and Persia). The majority of the delegates abstained from voting, largely because their scientific members were not present, as was the case in regard to ourselves, Sir William Collins being in London at the date of the sitting. He had, however, left a written speech which Sir William Meyer delivered for him, at the close of which he indicated the possibility of acceding to the German proposal, but only for the sake of unanimity. Having regard to the tie vote, and to the desirability of keeping in agreement with the German delegation on this as on the other articles relating to morphine, cocaine, &c., the British vote was changed to one of support to the German proposition. That proposal was accordingly carried, and the references to codeine omitted.\n\n53. A further German amendment which inserted the words \"généralement reconnues\" after the words \"recherches scientifiques\" in what is now article 14 (d) was at the same time carried, its desirability being generally apparent.\n\n54. It may be explained here that the original resolution on which draft article 17, as given in paragraph 48, was based, made no specific mention of anti-opium remedies. The circumstances in which this reference was inserted in clause (b) of the draft article, and in article 14 (b) of the final convention, are stated in paragraph 56.\n\n55. We need only add at present, that when the resolution which formed the basis of draft article 11 (paragraph 48) came under consideration, the American delegation suggested that the licence system therein contemplated should apply also to instruments used for the injection of morphine and cocaine. This was, however, opposed by the German delegation, on the ground that there was no special set of instruments set apart for use in connection with these drugs, and, the objection being supported by Sir William Collins, the proposal was dropped.\n\n56. At the eleventh session (19th December) the French delegation brought forward a resolution to the effect that it was desirable to take measures against...\n\n[373]",

        "content_text": "## 38. Having obtained agreement on these important points, we introduced a series of resolutions at the seventh, eighth, and ninth conference sessions. These resolutions were prefaced by a speech by Sir Cecil Clementi Smith (seventh session), in which he pointed out that the proposals put were in effect a carrying out of the policy indicated in regard to morphine and other derivatives of opium in No. 5 of the resolutions of the Shanghai Commission. The British Government regarded this matter as so important that they decided not to take part in the conference unless the other Powers also accepted its special urgency. Great Britain had already taken energetic steps to aid China in the gigantic task which she had undertaken in the matter of opium suppression, but such action would be of no avail if it merely led to the use of still more pernicious drugs. It was therefore necessary to adopt the most drastic measures possible in order to stamp out this serious vice, which was doing so much harm to the populations of the Far East, and also, he believed, to the United States.\n\nSir Cecil's speech was vigorously supported by Dr. Wu Lien-Teh, of the Chinese delegation, who gave a vivid picture of the harm done by morphine and cocaine in China, and later on Sir William Collins (eighth session), emphasised the divergences between the small quantities of opium and morphine required for bona fide medical purposes and the relatively large amounts produced.\n\nAt the ninth session again, Mr. Max Müller, speaking with special reference to the subject of restrictions on exportation, laid stress on the necessity for obtaining international co-operation, and pointed out how desirable it was that there should be a unanimous agreement on this point, with which object the British delegation had been willing to drop certain proposals which had appeared to it to be desirable, but to which it could not expect to secure general assent.\n\n## 39. The British proposals, with some amendments which were usually of a purely verbal character, were carried unanimously, and they formed the basis of articles 9-18 of the original draft of the convention, as reproduced below :-\n\n### CHAPITRE III - Opium médicinal, Morphine, Cocaïne, &c.\n\n#### Définitions\n- Par \"opium médicinal\" on entend: L'opium brut qui a été chauffé à 60 degrés centigrades, en poudre ou granulé, mélangé, s'il est nécessaire, avec des matières neutres et ne contenant pas moins de 10 pour cent de morphine.\n- Par \"morphine\" on entend: Le principal alcaloide de l'opium, ayant la formule chimique C17H19NO3.\n- Par \"cocaïne\" on entend: Le principal alcaloïde des feuilles de l'Erythroxylon coca, ayant la formule C17H21NO4.\n- Par \"héroïne\" on entend: La diacetyl-morphine, ayant la formule C21H23NO5.\n- Par \"codéïne\" on entend: Un autre alcaloide de l'opium, la méthyl-morphine, ayant la formule C18H21NO3.\n\n| Article | Text |\n|---------|------|\n| **ARTICLE 9** | Les Puissances contractantes édicteront des lois ou des règlements sur la pharmacie de façon à limiter la fabrication, la vente et l'emploi de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs aux seuls usages médicaux et légitimes, à moins que des lois existantes n'aient déjà réglé la matière. Elles coopéreront avec les autres Gouvernements afin d'empêcher leur usage pour tout autre objet. |\n| **ARTICLE 10** | Les Puissances contractantes limiteront, par des lois, aux seuls établissements et locaux qui auront été désignés à cet effet, la fabrication de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs. |\n| **ARTICLE 11** | Les Puissances contractantes exigeront que tous ceux qui fabriquent, importent, vendent, distribuent et exportent la morphine, la cocaïne et leurs sels respectifs, soient munis d'un permis pour se livrer à ces opérations. |\n| **ARTICLE 12** | Les Puissances contractantes exigeront des fabricants et commerçants munis de ces permis la consignation sur leurs livres de toutes transactions concernant la fabrication, l'importation, la vente, la distribution et l'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs. Cette règle ne s'appliquera pas forcément aux prescriptions médicales, et aux ventes faites par des pharmaciens dûment autorisés. |\n| **ARTICLE 13** | Les Puissances contractantes entreprendront de faire contrôler ces fabricants et commerçants ainsi que les bâtiments où ils exercent cette industrie ou commerce. |\n| **ARTICLE 14** | Les Puissances contractantes prohiberont dans leur commerce intérieur toute cession de morphine, de cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs, à toutes personnes non autorisées. |\n| **ARTICLE 15** | Les Puissances contractantes interdiront, en tenant compte des différences de leurs conditions commerciales, l'importation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs à d'autres qu'à des personnes autorisées. |\n| **ARTICLE 16** | Les Puissances contractantes s'engagent à prohiber, par des conventions spéciales ou autrement, l'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs de leurs pays et colonies vers les pays, colonies ou territoires à bail des autres Puissances contractantes sauf dans le cas où le destinataire aura reçu un permis accordé conformément aux lois du pays importateur l'autorisant à importer ces drogues. Cependant tout Gouvernement désirant profiter des stipulations de cet article devra donner de temps en temps aux Gouvernements des pays exportateurs des renseignements relatifs aux personnes auxquelles des permis d'importation auront été accordés pour la morphine, la cocaïne et leurs sels respectifs. |\n| **ARTICLE 17** | Les Puissances contractantes appliqueront les lois et règlements de fabrication, d'importation, de vente ou d'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs :<br>(a) A l'opium médicinal;<br>(b) A toutes les préparations (officinales et non officinales y compris les remèdes dits anti-opium) contenant plus de 0.2 pour cent de morphine ou plus de 0.1 pour cent de cocaïne;<br>(c) A l'héroïne, ses sels et préparations contenant plus de 0.1 pour cent d'héroïne;<br>(d) A la codéïne, ses sels et préparations contenant plus de 0.4 pour cent de codéïne;<br>(e) A tout nouveau dérivé de la morphine, de la cocaïne ou de leurs sels respectifs ou à tout autre alcaloide de l'opium qui pourrait à la suite de recherches scientifiques donner lieu à des abus analogues et avoir pour résultat les mêmes effets nuisibles. |\n| **ARTICLE 18** | Les Puissances contractantes examineront la possibilité de prendre des mesures rendant passible de peines la possession illégale de l'opium brut, de l'opium préparé, de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs, à moins que des lois existantes n'aient déjà réglé la matière. |\n\nPage 265  \nPage 27  \nPage 9  \nPage 1665]  \nC 2",

        "content_text": "HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nproved a success so far, and I therefore propose to increase the number of the scouts as opportunity offers. The sum paid to each scout is $60 a year, and the provision made is therefore sufficient for twenty, of whom eight are already being employed. The votes for Incidental Expenses, Secret Service, and Transport have been increased by $1,600, $3,000, and $3,000 respectively, the amounts inserted this year having been under-estimated. The vote for coal and oil-fuel for launches has been increased by $6,300, to meet the rise in price and to provide for the motor launch. Under \"Light and Electric Fans\" an increase of $1,015 has been estimated for. Of this sum $165 is for the lighting of Shaukiwan and Tsat-tsz-mui Stations.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure provision has been made for a new steam-launch at a cost of $37,500. This launch is to replace No. 2 launch, which has been condemned as unseaworthy and sold. A sum of $1,800 has been provided for the hire of a launch pending the completion of the new launch. The motor launch to which I have already referred is estimated to cost $5,000.\n\nFire Brigade\n\nProvision has been made for a new motor fire engine and pump at a cost of $13,364. This is for use in the City of Victoria. Experience of the motor tender at present in use has shown the great advantage of motor propelled fire appliances. It has been found possible to get the engine to all parts of the City where there are Chinese buildings. On the upper levels in many places there is not sufficient water pressure and volume to throw more than one jet to the top of a building. The use of a motor pump will remedy this defect.\n\nPrison\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a sum of $3,840 has been entered for the purchase of machines and tools for the printing shop in order to cope with the increasing work and to secure greater efficiency.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a sum of $1,500 has been provided for the equipments necessary for the examination of cassia and anise oils. This work, which has been undertaken at the request of the Chamber of Commerce, will be carried on in a room built specially for the purpose. It is expected that the expenditure incurred will be recovered from the fees paid for the examinations.\n\nMedical Department\n\nProvision has been made for three additional sisters at a total cost of $3,737. This increase to the staff has been rendered necessary by the separation of the Maternity Hospital nursing staff from that of the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nSanitary Department\n\nFour Inspectors have been added to the establishment on the recommendation of the Sanitary Board at a cost of $7,474. These Inspectors are required for the purpose of carrying out the periodical cleansing of Chinese tenement houses every quarter instead of half-yearly as hitherto. In consequence of these new posts it has been necessary to provide for four 5th Grade Interpreters costing $1,920. In order to cope with the extra cleansing work 32 coolies are required at a cost of $4,224. Provision has also been made for 25 scavenging coolies at a cost of $2,700. Of these, 15 are for the Eastern half of the City and the Peak, and 10 for the Western half of the City. The steady growth of new houses and streets has made it impossible for the present staff to cover the ground properly. In November, 1913, a departmental haulage system was instituted for pulling the scavenging carts in place of the contract system, which had proved unsatisfactory. Sixty men were required for this work, and the trial during the current year has been so successful that it has been decided to adopt the system permanently. Provision has, therefore, been made for this number of men (being half the contract number) during next year at a cost of $6,480. By this change a saving of $90 has been effected with a great gain in efficiency.\n\nUnder Other Charges a sum of $3,110 has been provided for lighting smaller markets. There is an increase of $1,300 in the vote \"Uniform for Staff\" due to the additions to the staff mentioned above.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a sum of $10,000 has again been entered for the removal of ceilings in order to permit of a continuance of the plague-preventive measures.\n\nTwo four-wheeled water-carts have been provided for a cost of $1,250 to replace two of the old two-wheeled carts, which are very hard on the bullock and are continually in need of repairs.\n\nPage 117\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\n210\n\n118\n\nBotanical and Forestry Department\n\nIt will be seen that of the total amount of $2,241,305, a sum of $298,154 is in respect of arrears during the current year. These arrears are much larger than usual, but this is naturally due to the increase in revenue.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a sum of $1,530 has been provided for making a new lawn at Mountain Lodge in place of the present chunam court.\n\nEducation\n\nUnder the heading \"Grants\" a new sub-head \"University Examination Grants\" has been inserted, $6,880 has been inserted. These grants will take the place of the existing grants for the Oxford Local Examinations, which were estimated to cost $4,715 in 1914.\n\nVolunteers\n\nThere is an increase of $8,850 in the vote for Capitation Grant due to the increase in the strength of the corps.\n\nIn the month of April last, Mr. Ellis Kadoorie offered to hand over to the Government the splendid buildings of the school, which bears his name, and the land on which it stands, completely equipped and entirely free of charge. The approval of the Secretary of State for was obtained for the transfer, and the Government has therefore become possessed through the great generosity of Mr. Ellis Kadoorie of a valuable addition to its scholastic institutions. A sum of $28,700 has been entered under Personal Emoluments to provide for the necessary staff, and a sum of $945 under Other Charges to meet the cost of electric fans, books, prizes, and incidental expenses. At the Belilios Public School provision has been made for an Assistant Mistress, as the existing staff is inadequate to deal with the increased attendance. The staff of the Indian School has been increased at a cost of $2,880, as it is expected that the school will be transferred to permanent building on a new site in July, 1915. This building, which is estimated to cost $40,000, is the gift of a generous donor, who wishes for the present to remain anonymous.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a sum of $1,994 has been inserted for furniture for the quarters attached to the Kowloon British School, Victoria British School and the Peak School, as it has been decided to provide necessary heavy furniture for these quarters.\n\nMilitary Expenditure\n\nThe Defence Contribution shows an increase of $542,325. The calculation of this item is shown in Appendix II.\n\nPublic Works\n\nUnder Personal Emoluments a sum of $3,360 has been entered to provide for six additional foremen and one clerk at $480 each in connection with the Tytamtuk Scheme, Second Section. Provision has been made for three additional Land Surveyors at a cost of $11,211. These surveyors are required in connection with the Praya East Reclamation Scheme, and the third is for adjusting arrears in the survey work in the New Territories. Under \"Water Works\" two 3rd Grade House Service Inspectors have been provided for at a cost of $1,920. At the present time there is no systematic method of carrying out these inspections, which are designed for the detection of unauthorised connections, and the repair of leaks and defective fittings. This will tend to prevent waste of water, and to ensure that the provisions of the law are more effectively enforced.\n\nUnder Other Charges the following items have been increased:-\n\nConveyance Allowance by $1,440 for the three new surveyors, and for the two apprentice surveyors in the Crown Lands and Surveys Department, for whom no allowances have hitherto been provided.\n\nDrawing Materials and Mounting Plans $1,800\n\nLand Survey Contingencies $1,000\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a sum of $1,000 has been provided for furniture for the offices consisting of plan cases, book-cases and filing-cabinets.\n\nPage 118",

Under Special Expenditure a further sum of $13,222 has been entered for the purchase of rifles and ammunition.\n\n### Public Works\n\nUnder Personal Emoluments a sum of $3,360 has been entered to provide for six additional foremen and one clerk at $480 each in connection with the Tytamtuk Scheme, Second Section.

It would have been impossible to allow so many to go had it not been for the excellent service which the members of the Police Reserve continue to render under the able leadership of Deputy Superintendent Jenkin. (Applause.) Under Other Charges increases are shown for clothing and accoutrements due to the higher cost of materials. Coal for barracks and launches is also estimated to cost more. On the other hand, a saving of $12,652 is shown in the cost of passages and bonuses in lieu thereof owing to the reduction in the European Staff. Under the heads Secret Service and Transport reductions of $4,000 and $2,300 have been made respectively. In the Fire Brigade under Other Charges, coal and oil fuel are expected to cost $1,890 more than this year.\n\nIn the Prison Department, under Personal Emoluments, temporary Warders, Assistant Warders and Guards have been provided for. These temporary arrangements are necessitated by the absence of four Warders who have gone to the front, and by vacancies in the European Staff, which cannot be filled at present. Under the votes 'Clothing and shoes for Staff' and 'Clothing for prisoners' have been increased owing to the higher cost of materials, and a new item of $2,000 has been inserted for repairs to plant used for remunerative industries. This work has hitherto been paid for out of the Public Works Department votes.\n\nIn the Medical Department, under \"Personal Emoluments,\" the opportunity was taken of the departure of the Assistant Medical Officer at Kowloon to abolish the post, and in its place a post of Chinese Medical Officer in the New Territories has been created. This Officer will reside at Taipo, and in addition to his ordinary Medical work will advise regarding sanitation matters in villages, and supervise the Government midwives at Taipo and Un Long. It will be observed that the salaries of the Nursing Sisters have been transferred from the heading Hospitals and Asylums and placed under Staff. In the Civil Hospital provision has been made for eight temporary staff nurses. These include the Japanese nurses, who have taken over the entire charge of \"B\" Block. That experiment has been successful that it is proposed to employ others in the Asiatic Wards in \"A\" Block.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges,\" a sum of $730 has been provided for board for a house physician and house surgeon. The amounts provided for fuel and light, medicines, and surgical appliances, bedding and clothing, and provisions, have all been raised to meet the increase in prices. A reduction of $1,800 has been made in the vote \"Support of lunatics abroad.\" The arrangement made in 1912, under which the Government of Hongkong made an annual grant of $3,600 to the John G. Kerr Asylum for the Insane at Canton, was not intended to be permanent, and it came to an end on the 30th June, 1916. The practice formerly in force in sending Chinese lunatics, who are not British subjects, to Chinese Authorities at Canton was reverted to from the 1st July, 1915.\n\nThe Office of Health Officer of the Port has been removed from under \"Staff,\" and entered separately on page 68. This arrangement enables the cost of the sub-department to be seen at a glance. Under \"Other Charges\" certain votes have been raised to meet the increased cost of coal and stores.\n\nIn the Sanitary Department, under \"Personal Emoluments,\" the post of 1st Grade Clerk has been abolished and a new post of 3rd Grade Clerk created. On the retirement of the Medical Officer of Health, the Assistant Medical Officer of Health was promoted to the post, and an officer on a sterling salary will perform the duties of Assistant Medical Officer of Health in 1917, drawing half the sterling salary of the post.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges\" it has been necessary to raise the amounts provided for coal, repairs, and disinfectants to meet the increased prices. Considerable savings have been made in the cost of lighting the various buildings in the charge of the Department, owing to the lower contract price for the supply of current. Under \"Special Expenditure\" a sum of $35,000 has been provided for a motor refuse lighter, the need for which is explained in Appendix III.\n\nIn the Botanical and Forestry Department small sums have been provided under \"Special Expenditure\" for clearing brushwood at Mount Kellet, and for laying out the grounds of the Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians. The increase of nearly $3,000 in the cost of this department is very small when the valuable work performed by it in all parts of the Colony is considered. I wish to draw special attention to the efficiency with which Mr. Tutcher and his assistants carry out their duties.\n\n## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nUnder Military Expenditure, the contribution to the Imperial Government is estimated to amount to $2,701,760. Details will be found in Appendix II. The cost of the Cadet Company has been merged in the Volunteer-Other Charges.\n\nIn the Public Works Department, under the head \"Personal Emoluments,\" the 1st Grade Executive Engineers have been increased from three to four on the promotion of the head of the Building Ordinance Office to that rank, while the 2nd Grade Executive Engineers have been reduced by one. The 1st Grade Assistant Engineers on the permanent staff have been increased from three to four, and 2nd Grade Assistant Engineers have been reduced from four to three. A Junior Assistant Land Surveyor has been appointed on a salary of $1,440. An explanation of this post will be found in Appendix III.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges\" a sum of $6,500 has been entered for the upkeep of the dredger St. Enoch. This item has hitherto appeared under \"Public Works Recurrent,\" a sum of $4,000 having been provided this year. Under \"Public Works Recurrent,\" the only item to which reference need be made is the sum of $7,500 for writing off the value of the dredger. It is proposed to provide this sum annually until the value has been written down to $75,000.\n\nI am glad to say that owing to the improvement in the state of our finances, it is again possible to spend a larger sum on Public Works, and a total of $1,545,400 has been provided for this purpose. I will take the more important items in order. A sum of $100,000 has been entered for the extension of the Central Police Station, and $35,000 for the extension of the Harbour Office Building to provide an office for the Superintendent of Imports and Exports, and quarters for Revenue Officers. A sum of $60,000 has been provided for the first block of quarters on Leighton Hill, to be rented to European married subordinate officers with salaries of less than £450 per annum. The rents charged will yield about four per centum on the capital cost after paying the cost of maintenance. It is also proposed to erect two more quarters for subordinate officers entitled to free quarters on Mount Parish at a cost of $15,000.\n\nIn the Department of Education, under the head \"Queen's College,\" it will be noticed that the appointment of a Translation Master has been abolished. This post has been filled for several years in a most efficient manner by the Reverend H. R. Wells, of the London Mission, who never spared himself in giving all the time at his disposal to the work and it is a matter for deep regret that the demands on his time have necessitated his resignation. Arrangements have been made for the performance of the duties by the appointment of a senior Vernacular Master. The posts of four visiting Vernacular Teachers have been abolished. In the Belilios Public School provision has been made for a third Assistant Mistress, and the posts of the Vernacular Masters have been abolished.\n\nUnder Item 8-Roads--a sum of $37,500 has been provided for widening and grading the road from Deep Water Bay to Repulse Bay, and $15,000 for making a necessary new road from the dam at Tytam Tuk, over which the road from Stanley to Shaukiwan must pass, on the completion of the dam to Tytam Gap. A small but useful work will be the rounding off of the corner at the bottom of Garden Road at a cost of $1,800. At Aberdeen it is hoped to make an improvement in the road past the Docks, and a new road past the village at a cost of $27,000. Owing to the increase in motor traffic the narrow road through the village is dangerous to pedestrians.\n\nItem 9, $10,500, is for an underground cable from the General Post Office to No. 2 Police Station on which route the number of wires has become excessive for poles. Item 16, $1,500, is for a useful apparatus invented by Captain Tyler, Coast Inspector to the Chinese Government, which has been successfully installed at Shanghai, whereby the moisture in the air in summer is reduced and the general temperature lowered. The exceptional sum of $160,000 has been entered for Compensation and Resumptions, as some large resumptions are necessary.\n\nUnder \"Waterworks,\" a sum of $520,000 is entered to complete the reservoir at Tytam and the Service Reservoir at West Point.\n\nUnder \"Miscellaneous,\" a sum of $11,000 has been provided for the resumption of ferry piers. This is in connection with a scheme for improving the ferry services between Victoria and Yaumati. At Kowloon it is proposed to erect more free quarters for subordinate officers, at a cost of $35,000, and to build a market at Shamshuipo for $18,000.",

This Officer will reside at Taipo and, in addition to his ordinary Medical work, will advise regarding sanitation matters in villages and supervise the Government midwives at Taipo and Un Long. The salaries of the Nursing Sisters have been transferred from the heading \"Hospitals and Asylums\" to \"Staff.\" In the Civil Hospital, provision has been made for eight temporary staff nurses.\n\n## Botanical and Forestry Department\n\nIn the Botanical and Forestry Department, small sums have been provided under \"Special Expenditure\" for clearing brushwood at Mount Kellet and for laying out the grounds of the Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians. Japanese nurses have taken over the entire charge of \"B\" Block. The increase in the cost of this department is very small when the valuable work performed by it in all parts of the Colony is considered.\n\n## Department of Education\n\nIn the Department of Education, under the head \"Queen's College,\" it will be noticed that the appointment of a Translation Master has been abolished. This post has been filled for several years in a most efficient manner by the Reverend H. R. Wells, of the London Mission. Arrangements have been made for the performance of the duties by the appointment of a senior Vernacular Master. The posts of four visiting Vernacular Teachers have been abolished. In the Belilios Public School, provision has been made for a third Assistant Mistress, and the posts of the Vernacular Masters have been abolished.\n\n## Military Expenditure\n\nUnder Military Expenditure, the contribution to the Imperial Government is estimated to amount to $2,701,760. Details will be found in `Appendix II`. The cost of the Cadet Company has been merged in the Volunteer-Other Charges.\n\n## Public Works Department\n\nIn the Public Works Department, under the head \"Personal Emoluments,\" the 1st Grade Executive Engineers have been increased from three to four on the promotion of the head of the Building Ordinance Office to that rank, while the 2nd Grade Executive Engineers have been reduced by one. The 1st Grade Assistant Engineers on the permanent staff have been increased from three to four, and 2nd Grade Assistant Engineers have been reduced from four to three. A Junior Assistant Land Surveyor has been appointed on a salary of $1,440.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges,\" $6,500 has been entered for the upkeep of the dredger `St. Enoch`. Under \"Public Works Recurrent,\" the only item to which reference need be made is the sum of $7,500 for writing off the value of the dredger. It is proposed to provide this sum annually until the value has been written down to $75,000.\n\n## Public Works\n\nA total of $1,545,400 has been provided for Public Works. The more important items include:\n| Item | Description | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 8 | Widening and grading the road from Deep Water Bay to Repulse Bay | $37,300 |\n| 8 | Making a new road from the dam at Tytam Tuk to Tytam Gap | $13,000 |\n| 8 | Rounding off the corner at the bottom of Garden Road | $1,500 |\n| 8 | Improvement in the road past the Docks at Aberdeen and a new road past the village | $27,000 |\n| 9 | Underground cable from the General Post Office to No. 2 Police Station | $10,500 |\n| 16 | Temperature and humidity control apparatus | $1,500 |\n| - | Compensation and Resumptions | $160,000 |\n| - | Completing the reservoir at Tytam and the Service Reservoir at West Point | $320,000 |\n| - | Free quarters for subordinate officers at Kowloon | $35,000 |\n| - | Building a market at Shamshuipo | $18,000 |\n| - | Resumption of ferry piers | $11,000 |\n\n## New Projects\n\nIt is proposed to erect two more quarters for subordinate officers entitled to free quarters on Mount Parish at a cost of $15,000. A sum of $100,000 has been entered for the extension of the Central Police Station, and $35,000 for the extension of the Harbour Office Building to provide an office for the Superintendent of Imports and Exports and quarters for Revenue Officers. A sum of $60,000 has been provided for the first block of quarters on Leighton Hill to be rented to European married subordinate officers with salaries of less than £450 per annum.",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nUnder \"Other Charges,\" a sum of $8,730 has been provided for board for a house physician and house surgeon. The amounts provided for fuel and light, medicines, and surgical appliances, bedding and clothing, and provisions, have all been raised to meet the increase in prices. A reduction of $1,800 has been made in the vote for \"Support of lunatics abroad.\"\n\nThe arrangement made in 1912, under which the Government of Hongkong made an annual grant of $3,000 to the John G. Kerr Asylum for the Insane at Canton, was not intended to be permanent, and it came to an end on the 30th June, 1916. The practice formerly in force of sending Chinese lunatics, who are not British subjects, to Chinese Authorities at Canton was reverted to from the 1st July, 1915.\n\nAt the front, they receive their full pay less their military pay. It would have been impossible to allow so many to go had it not been for the excellent service which the members of the Police Reserve continue to render under the able leadership of Deputy Superintendent Jenkin.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges,\" increases are shown for clothing and accoutrements due to the higher cost of materials. Coal for launches is also estimated to cost more. On the other hand, a saving of $12,835 is shown in the cost of passages and bonuses in lieu thereof owing to the reduction in the European Staff. Under the heads \"Secret Service\" and \"Transport,\" reductions of $4,000 and $2,300 have been made respectively. In the Fire Brigade, under \"Other Charges,\" coal and oil fuel are expected to cost $1,500 more than this year.\n\nIn the Prison Department, under \"Personal Emoluments,\" temporary Warders, Assistant Warders, and Guards have been provided for. These temporary staff are necessitated by the absence of four Warders who have gone to the front, and by vacancies in the European Staff, which cannot be filled at present. Under \"Other Charges,\" the votes for \"Clothing and shoes for Staff\" and \"Clothing for prisoners\" have been increased owing to the higher cost of materials, and a new item of $2,000 has been inserted for repairs to plant used for remunerative industries. This work has hitherto been paid for out of the Public Works Department votes.\n\nIn the Medical Department, under \"Personal Emoluments,\" the opportunity was taken of the departure of the Assistant Medical Officer at Kowloon to abolish the post, and in its place, a Chinese Medical Officer in the New Territories has been created. This Officer will reside at Taipo, and in addition to his ordinary Medical work, will advise regarding sanitation matters in villages, and supervise the Government midwives at Taipo and Fanling. It will be observed that the salaries of the Nursing Sisters have been transferred from the heading \"Hospitals and Asylums\" and placed under \"Staff.\" In the Civil Hospital, provision has been made for eight temporary staff nurses. These include the Japanese nurses, who have taken over the entire charge of \"B\" Block. That experiment has been so successful that it is proposed to employ others in the Asiatic Wards in A Block.\n\nThe Office of Health Officer of the Port has been removed from under \"Staff\" and entered separately on page 65. This arrangement enables the cost of the sub-department to be seen at a glance. Under \"Other Charges,\" certain votes have been raised to meet the increased cost of coal and stores.\n\nIn the Sanitary Department, under \"Personal Emoluments,\" the post of 1st Grade Clerk has been abolished, and a new post of 3rd Grade Clerk created. On the retirement of the Medical Officer of Health, the Assistant Medical Officer of Health was promoted to the post, and an officer on a sterling salary will perform the duties of Assistant Officer of Health in 1917, drawing half the sterling salary of the post.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges,\" it has been necessary to raise the amounts provided for coal, repairs, and disinfectants to meet the increased prices. Considerable savings have been made in the cost of lighting the various buildings in charge of the Department, owing to the lower contract price for the supply of current. Under \"Special Expenditure,\" a sum of $35,000 has been provided for a motor refuse lighter, the need for which is explained in Appendix III.\n\nIn the Botanical and Forestry Department, small sums have been provided under \"Special Expenditure\" for clearing brushwood at Mount Kellet, and for laying out the grounds of the Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians. The increase of nearly $3,000 in the cost of this department is very small when the valuable work performed by it in all parts of the Colony is considered.\n\n## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA sum of $100,000 has been entered for the extension of the Central Police Station, and $35,000 for the extension of the Harbour Office Building to provide an office for the Superintendent of Imports and Exports, and quarters for Revenue Officers. A sum of $60,000 has been provided for the first block of quarters on Leighton Hill, to be rented to European married subordinate officers with salaries of less than £450 per annum. The rents charged will yield about four per centum on the capital cost after paying the cost of maintenance. It is also proposed to erect two more quarters for subordinate officers entitled to free quarters on Mount Parish.\n\nIn the Department of Education, under the head \"Queen's College,\" it will be noticed that the appointment of Translation Master has been abolished. This post has been filled for several years in a most efficient manner by the Reverend H. R. Wells, of the London Mission, who never spared himself in giving all the time at his disposal to the work, and it is a matter for deep regret that the demands on his time have necessitated his resignation. Arrangements have been made for the performance of the duties by the appointment of a senior Vernacular Master. The posts of four visiting Vernacular Teachers have been abolished, at a cost of $15,000. In the Belilios Public School, provision has been made for a third Assistant Mistress, and the posts of the Vernacular Masters have been abolished.\n\nUnder Military Expenditure, the contribution to the Imperial Government is estimated to amount to $2,701,760. Details will be found in Appendix II. The cost of the Cadet Company has been merged in the Volunteer-Other Charges.\n\nIn the Public Works Department, under the head \"Personal Emoluments,\" the 1st Grade Executive Engineers have been increased from three to four on the promotion of the head of the Building Ordinance Office to that rank, while the 2nd Grade Executive Engineers have been reduced by one. The 1st Grade Assistant Engineers on the permanent staff have been increased from three to four, and 2nd Grade Assistant Engineers have been reduced from four to three. A Junior Assistant Land Surveyor has been appointed on a salary of $1,440. An explanation of this post will be found in Appendix III.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges,\" $6,500 has been entered for the upkeep of the dredger `St. Enoch`. This item has hitherto appeared under \"Public Works Recurrent,\" a sum of $4,000 having been provided this year.\n\nUnder \"Public Works Recurrent,\" the only item to which reference need be made is the sum of $7,500 for writing off the value of the dredger. It is proposed to provide this sum annually until the value has been written down to $75,000.\n\nI am glad to say that, owing to the improvement in the state of our finances, it is again possible to spend a larger sum on Public Works, and a total of $1,545,400 has been provided for this purpose.\n\nUnder Item 8-Roads-a sum of $37,500 has been provided for widening and grading the road from Deep Water Bay to Repulse Bay, and $13,000 for making a necessary new road from the dam at Tytam Tuk to Tytam Gap. A small but useful work will be the rounding off of the corner at the bottom of Garden Road at a cost of $1,500.\n\nAt Aberdeen, it is hoped to make an improvement in the road past the Docks, and a new road past the village at a cost of $27,000. Owing to the increase in motor traffic, the narrow road through the village is dangerous to pedestrians.\n\nItem 9, $10,500, is for an underground cable from the General Post Office to No. 2 Police Station, on which route the number of wires has become excessive for poles. Item 16, $1,500, is for a useful apparatus invented by Captain Tyler, Coast Inspector to the Chinese Government, which has been successfully installed at Shanghai, whereby the moisture in the air in summer is reduced and the general temperature lowered.\n\nThe exceptional sum of $160,000 has been entered for Compensation and Resumptions, as some large resumptions are necessary.\n\nUnder Waterworks, a sum of $520,000 is entered to complete the reservoir at Tytam and the Service Reservoir at West Point.\n\nAt Kowloon, it is proposed to erect more free quarters for subordinate officers at a cost of $35,000, and to build a market at Shamshuipo for $18,000.\n\nUnder \"Miscellaneous,\" a sum of $11,000 has been provided for the resumption of ferry piers. This is in connection with a scheme for improving the ferry services between Victoria and Yaumati.\n\nPage 64\nPage 671",

THE GOVERNOR'S REMARKS.\n\nREMARKABLE SIGNS OF UNANIMITY.\n\nThere was a large and thoroughly representative meeting of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber of Commerce Room yesterday, when certain resolutions were passed which directly concerned the question of the return of Germans to the Colony after the war, and also the remarks made by H.E. the Governor at the last meeting of the Legislative Council when replying to the motion proposed by the Hon.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:- As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this.\n\nThat a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\n\nIt is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution.\n\nIt was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question. We claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct communication from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.)\n\nIt has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely one appeal based on sentiment, and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium.\n\nAnd, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that as a result of this war sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.) You will notice that I am endeavouring in presenting this case to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically as it presents itself and as I trust it will appeal to you.\n\nCommittee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your Chamber, and to your Committee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your\n\n[April 27th, 1917.\n\n209\n\n349\n\n8\n\nApril 27th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\ndevelopment any big commercial\n\ncome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means.\n\nI mean that if we are not alive to the possibility of competition, and knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER- then said: Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East- France, Russia, Japan and most particularly China.\n\nGiven these conditions, then I am with you. Except under these conditions to exclude the Germans from our Colony would be merely to drive them to neighbouring trade centres, where once established they would prove a serious menace to our welfare and trade, not to mention the loss of benefits to be derived from the use of our Harbour by their shipping, and of shipping under their control. (Voice-Rot. They have no shipping. Who wrote it?)\n\nI deem it inexpedient that I should here mention in detail the place where they could exert and unless China sides with us) so establish themselves in our immediate neighbourhood.\n\nThey must be as well-known to you all as to me, but I shall be only too pleased to give my views in full to your Committee if and when they wish.\n\nIt has been argued that with no coaling facilities on the way German shipping will find a difficulty in reaching these distant waters, but can we for a moment suppose that she will not find means to overcome this difficulty? What about the use of oil fuel in place of coal? It would be easy enough for steamers using oil to reach Dutch ports in the East Indies and there replenish their stock for the further voyage to China, and Japan.\n\nThat China has at the moment broken off diplomatic relations with Germany we all know, and I trust that the day is not far distant when she will be numbered amongst our Allies; but to imagine for a moment that when peace is established she will continue to decline to trade with her is to my mind absurd.\n\nI have read that the German Concessions at Tientsin, Hankow and elsewhere, now being taken care of by China, will eventually be handed back to her, and we know Germans to-day are tolerated and trading in Shanghai.\n\nI maintain then to exclude them from this Colony only would be a suicidal policy. (Voice-No, no.) It may be said that we have got on very well and prospered without them during the war-granted but shall we not do so to a greater degree on their return! (Voice No.) Nor do I think we have much to fear for our trade from their competition for many years to come, particularly in view of the statement which has been put forward that they will have to compete without the banking and discount facilities in London which they formerly enjoyed.\n\nIn support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution.\n\nGentlemen. We desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government.\n\nThe Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country-(applause)-and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome...",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nUnder miscellaneous services it is proposed to make a grant of £50 to the Imperial Bureau of Mycology which has recently been established. The sum of $1,000 for the Yunnan Scholarship Fund has been approved by the Secretary of State for a period of three years, and approval has been requested to extend this grant for two years more, as the Chamber of Commerce and certain of the leading firms in the Colony have promised a similar sum.\n\nThe amounts subscribed will enable six students to complete a course at the University of Hongkong which will include medicine and engineering. The amount required for rent allowances has been increased by $16,500 as the sum of $30,000, which was roughly estimated on the introduction of the scheme, has been found to be insufficient. The provision of quarters will cause a reduction in this item after next year. The sum of $200,000 for special war allowances to Government officers is the amount required under a scheme which has already been considered by Honourable Members and approved by the Secretary of State.\n\nIn the Supreme Court a 2nd grade clerk has taken the place of a 1st grade clerk on the retirement of the latter. Free quarters have been granted to the Assistant Interpreter and the First and Second Bailiffs to place them on the same footing as officers in corresponding positions in other departments. The watchmen have been granted house-allowances for a similar reason at a cost of $600 a year.\n\nIn the office of Crown Solicitor a 2nd grade clerk has been promoted to 1st grade.\n\nUnder special expenditure small sums are provided for furniture and a sum of $1,000 for a set of Law Reports in the office of the Attorney-General.\n\nIn the Police Department provision has been made for a Secretary and Clerk for the Deputy Superintendent, Police Reserve, who is in urgent need of such assistance. No less than 69 members of the Police Force have gone to join His Majesty's Forces of whom, I regret to say, 9 are reported to have been killed in action. Two Police Officers are still serving under the Government of India.\n\nIn addition to the many duties undertaken by them since the enrolment of the Force, the members of the Police Reserve have for some time been employed in searching passengers' baggage for contraband at the various wharves. Proper shelters have been erected to enable this work to be performed under suitable conditions, and the Government is very grateful for the valuable help rendered in this respect.\n\nUnder \"Other Charges\" the sum provided for repairs to Launches and Boats has been increased by $3,500 to meet the extra cost of materials and labour.\n\nA sum of $18,667 has been entered under special expenditure for the purchase of two motor fire-engines and pumps, which it is proposed to obtain from America.\n\nIn the District Office a 3rd grade clerk has been added to the Establishment, promoted from 4th grade.\n\nIn the Medical Department the following changes have to be recorded. A Chinese Accountant and Storekeeper has replaced the former European holder of the post. The post of Staff Nurse has been abolished, the holder of the post having been promoted to be a nursing Sister. At the Lunatic Asylum a European Female Attendant has been appointed. The European Wardmaster at Kennedy Town Hospital has been replaced by a Chinese Wardmaster, and in place of a temporary Wardmaster a Chinese Wardmaster has been appointed, the post of temporary Wardmaster being abolished.\n\nIn the Southern District provision has been made for a caretaker for the new market at Tai O, and a small allowance to the Sergeant Interpreter as Collector of Market Revenue. Under Other Charges, Northern District a sum of $2,500 is provided for afforestation. It is desired to encourage the people of the New Territories to grow trees on their own behalf, and this vote will be used towards the commencement of village plantations, particularly of the eucalyptus tree and the indigenous camphor tree, which has been a commercial success in Formosa. Seeds will also be provided for those who are willing to make use of them. The scheme is intended as a nucleus of larger undertakings which will be much facilitated by the experience thus gained. The allowance for transport in the Southern District has been raised by $250 owing to the increased cost of launch hire.\n\nA sum of $1,200 has been provided under Public Dispensaries as travelling allowance to the Supervisor of Midwives, and one more midwife has been appointed in the New Territories. Reductions have been made in the amounts required for the support of lunatics abroad, and for fuel and light, based on the figures of the last three years.\n\nUnder \"Special Expenditure\" a sum of $1,500 has been provided for the preparation of meningococcic serum in accordance with the directions of an expert from the Rockefeller Institute, New York, a report of whose visit to the Colony will shortly be laid before you.\n\n## Education\n\nThe Department has suffered a great loss in the retirement of Mrs. Tutcher from the post of Headmistress of Belilios Public School. Mrs. Tutcher had been connected with the school during the whole of her service, and for twelve years had been Headmistress. She brought the school to a high state of efficiency, and possessed the confidence and respect of both parents and pupils. It is not proposed to make any permanent appointment to the post at present, though the salary has been provided in the Estimates.\n\nThe initial sterling salary of the Headmistress of the Belilios Public School, as it was considered better not to remove her from the Peak School where she is doing excellent work. One Assistant Mistress has been added to the staff of the Peak School, and as the whole of the buildings are now required for the school House allowance of $600 a year on vacating the quarters.\n\nAt Saiyingpun English School a Student Teacher, supernumerary, has been appointed to assist in the teaching of English. One post of Assistant Master at Yaumati English School has been raised from Class III to Class II, $480 rising to $780 by $60 annually, in place of a fixed salary of $480, involving an increase next year of $338.\n\nUnder Other Charges the amount required for fuel for Bath-houses has been reduced by $800 based on the average expenditure of the last three years, and the provision for the burial of infected bodies has been reduced to $1,000. Coal for launches is estimated to cost $3,000, repairs $3,000, and stores $800, more than this year. Owing to the temporary reduction in the staff a reduction of $3,000 has been made in the vote for uniforms.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure sums aggregating $1,810 have been provided for new vehicles and a sum of $10,000 for exhumation at the Kai Lung Wan Cemetery.\n\nMr. T. K. Dealy—after nearly thirty-four years service, during the last nine of which he had been Headmaster of Queen's College—retired from the service in July. He had been connected with the school since the days when it was known as the Government Central School, and it is no exaggeration to state that during his service he had had no small share in the education of most of the prominent Chinese gentlemen in the Colony for more than a generation, including several of the Chinese members of this Council.\n\nThe total sum provided for education is $398,958, or $18,556 more than this year. Owing to the increase in the number of Vernacular Schools in the New Territories it is proposed to have three 5th grade Sub-Inspectors in place of one. From the 1st September next year the first three trained Chinese Masters will begin their work, and a sum of $900 is provided for their salaries. There are now six of these masters at the University, the cost of whose education is being defrayed by the Government.\n\nThe opportunity of a change in the Headmastership at Queen's College was taken to abolish the post of Assistant Master on a special salary and the allowance of $900 to the Master of the Normal School. No less than seven of the European Masters are serving with His Majesty's Forces, and their places have been taken by Lady Teachers. The Student Teachers have been placed on a new scale of salaries, as shown.\n\nAt the Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians an Assistant Master in Class II has taken the place of an Assistant Master in Class III.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure provision is made for a building grant of $5,500 to the Diocesan Girls School in respect of the new wing recently erected, and the first instalment of $10,000 of a total grant of $20,000 for new buildings to house the Girls' Training Home of the London Missionary Society.\n\nIn connection with the Hongkong Defence Corps considerable reductions have been made under the heads \"Ammunition and Uniform.\" \n\nIn the Botanical and Forestry Department a new post of Foreman has been created for forestry work in the New Territories, and the votes for forestry and motor-car hire have been increased by $1,000 and $180 respectively.",

Certain points of difficulty have, however, arisen, and the notes set forth below have accordingly been prepared for your information and guidance. On receipt of this despatch, you should take such further action as may be necessary, and you should in any case report briefly how matters stand.\n\n## I. EXPLANATION OF THE POSITION IN THE CASE OF FRANCE, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND JAPAN\n\n2. The arrangement with France was made as the result of a Note to the French Ambassador dated the 25th August, 1919, in which it was stated that it would be \"of considerable assistance to the Department concerned if the French Government could make arrangements for some Government Department to issue certificates in all cases of consignments covered by the Opium Convention to the effect that the drugs are exclusively required in France for medical or scientific purposes only. The Department would then be in a position to establish that the consignments of such drugs which the United Kingdom is allowing to be exported are bona fide medical consignments and are not required in France for illicit purposes or for re-export.\"\n\n3. In a note dated the 17th September following, the French Chargé d'Affaires replied that \"le Ministre du Commerce a accepté la suggestion présentée dans cette communication. Désormais les maisons françaises désireuses d'acheter en Angleterre de la morphine, de la codéine, ou de l'opium devront, d'abord, prouver à l'Office des Produits chimiques et pharmaceutiques du Ministère du Commerce (Service technique, 3 Section) que les produits qu'elles veulent importer ne sont destinés qu'à des besoins médicaux ou scientifiques. Lorsque l'Office précité aura acquis cette certitude, il délivrera un certificat ad hoc que l'intéressé français n'aura plus qu'à transmettre à ses vendeurs anglais pour que ceux-ci puissent le produire aux Autorités britanniques.\"\n\nHis Majesty's Representative at\n\n138 [5695]\n\n374",

Le même délégué a affirmé que, pour combattre les maladies qui, dans certaines de ces localités, règnent d'une façon endémique, la population en use habituellement par petites doses, comme remède préventif ou curatif. Ce sont les usages de ce genre qu'on ne saurait appeler purement médicaux, c'est-à-dire ce qui est ordonné par un médecin, que la Commission entend désigner par le terme « légitimes ».\n\nAu sujet de la huitième recommandation, il faut signaler que c'est par la suggestion de M. Jean Hennessy, délégué de la France, que la cinquième Commission en fut saisie. Il attira l'attention sur les abus dus à la vente et à la consommation des drogues d'origine minérale ou chimique, non visées par la Convention de La Haye de 1912, et fit remarquer que le fléau qui ravageait l'Orient est devenu universel depuis la guerre, que des drogues chimiquement fabriquées sont colportées, vendues à bas prix et absorbées en grandes quantités et que les lois de chaque État étant insuffisantes, la réunion d'une conférence internationale s'impose.\n\nIl convient également d'attirer l'attention sur les déclarations faites par le délégué de la Perse, le prince Arfa-Ed-Dowleh, sur les avantages que présenterait une campagne entreprise par la Société des Nations, en vue de répandre, parmi les populations orientales adonnées à l'opium, l'usage des brochures de propagande exposant les dangers qu'entraîne la consommation de cette drogue. La question de contrôle du trafic de l'opium et d'autres drogues dangereuses a une importance mondiale et mérite que l'Assemblée y porte le plus grand intérêt. Les premières mesures destinées à établir le contrôle que la Société est chargée d'assurer, conformément au traité de paix, ont été prises par l'Assemblée, l'année dernière, et elles ont déjà donné des résultats satisfaisants. On ne peut, pour le moment, embrasser avec netteté l'ensemble de la situation avant d'avoir reçu et analysé les réponses au questionnaire publié par le Secrétariat. Les conclusions à tirer du questionnaire seront soumises à la prochaine Assemblée. En attendant, comme on le verra d'après ce qui précède, d'utiles mesures ont été prises sur le conseil de la Commission consultative, qui faciliteront l'exécution de la convention, et on espère que les nouvelles propositions que la cinquième Commission a présentées dans ce rapport contribueront à avancer vers la solution du problème.\n\nEnfin, on doit signaler que le contrôle du trafic de l'opium se heurte à de grandes difficultés. Le délégué de la Perse a attiré l'attention sur certaines d'entre elles à propos des pays d'Orient. Seul, un organisme international tel que la Société peut surmonter ces difficultés, et, pour cela, il a besoin de la collaboration entière, continue et efficace de tous ses membres. La Commission se permet d'adresser un appel à tous les membres de la Société pour qu'ils lui apportent cette collaboration. (Vifs applaudissements).\n\nM. le PRÉSIDENT. La traduction du rapport qui vient d'être lu ayant été distribuée, l'Assemblée estimera, sans doute, qu'il n'y a pas lieu de faire procéder à la traduction orale. (Assentiment).\n\nLa parole est à M. le délégué de la Perse, le prince Arfa-Ed-Dowleh.\n\nMessieurs, Le prince ARFA-ED-DOWLEH (Perse). Vous avez entendu le rapport que notre distingué collègue, M. Ferreira, vient de présenter d'une manière si précise.\n\nComme la question de l'opium est une des plus graves et des plus importantes pour l'humanité, j'avais écrit un petit mémoire à ce sujet et, ne voulant pas abuser de votre précieux temps, j'avais l'intention de l'envoyer au Secrétariat général. Mais quelques honorables collègues ont cru qu'il serait plus utile que je le fasse entendre du haut de cette tribune, vers laquelle le monde entier tend l'oreille en ce moment-ci.\n\nAfin de ne pas dépasser les limites que nous nous sommes fixées pour parler, je pose ma montre devant moi pour vous rassurer et vous convaincre que je n'abuserai pas de votre indulgence.\n\nJe vous dirai en quelques mots ce qu'est l'opium, comment on le reçoit, comment on l'emploie, le mal qu'il y a à l'employer et les mesures qu'il faudrait prendre pour parer à ce mal.\n\nOn tire l'opium du pavot, plante à belles fleurs rouges, blanches et de tant d'autres nuances qu'elles semblent refléter les différentes couleurs de la lumière comme un prisme. Le fruit de cette plante est une capsule. Quand la capsule est mûre, on y pratique avec un canif tranchant quelques incisions d'où sort un suc blanc comme du lait. On le recueille dans un récipient plat et on le met au soleil, dont il reçoit peu à peu la couleur de son rayon doré. Par l'effet du soleil, ce suc devient épais comme une pâte, on le met alors dans des formes rondes ou longues, on l'enveloppe dans du papier et on l'envoie dans tous les coins du monde, pour être vendu sous le nom d'opium.\n\nEn Orient, on l'emploie de deux manières : à l'état brut et à l'état fabriqué.\n\nIl y a deux sortes d'emplois à l'état brut : normal ou permis, et anormal ou défendu.\n\nOn appelle normale la pâte préparée en forme de pilules ne dépassant pas un quart de gramme. On en prend quand on se trouve dans un état de fatigue ou de malaise quelconque.\n\nL'état anormal est celui où on l'absorbe par quantité de plus d'un gramme par jour : ce qui est extrêmement nuisible pour la santé et prohibé par les lois de tous les pays.\n\nMais le mode le plus dangereux de l'emploi de l'opium, c'est son extrait le plus toxique de la matière brute que l'on fabrique pour fumer, et c'est cela qui forme l'opiomanie.\n\nL'opiomane est, à mon avis, mille fois pire que la peste et le choléra, ces derniers n'étant que des maladies épidémiques n'apparaissant que de temps à autre ; tandis que l'opiomanie, maladie tout aussi contagieuse, règne à l'état chronique sur des millions d'individus.\n\nOn peut, par une prophylaxie appropriée, limiter le champ d'action de toutes les maladies contagieuses, mais il est infiniment plus difficile d'empêcher un opiomane de faire partager son vice à tout son entourage.\n\nL'opiomane est un être dégénéré, n'ayant de goût à rien, extrêmement faible, effroyablement maigre, d'un affreux teint jaunâtre et n'ayant d'autre idée en tête que d'avaler le plus de fumée possible et d'en faire avaler à tous ses amis et connaissances.\n\nEn un mot, c'est un être perdu pour la Société et dangereux pour son ambiance.\n\nMon pays étant un producteur d'opium, il était tout naturel que mon gouvernement se préoccupât de cette alarmante question. Et, de fait, il s'en est occupé avant même que la Société des Nations fût constituée. Dans le cabinet dont je faisais partie avant la guerre, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper de cette affaire spécialement. Quelques-uns de mes collègues et moi-même étions chargés de rechercher des moyens propres à remédier à cette maladie funeste. Messieurs, je puis vous assurer que le remède n'est pas facile à trouver. Empêcher le commerce illicite de l'opium, c'est très bien ; mais cela ne constituera pas un remède efficace, parce que, d'abord, ce commerce se fera quand même et plus intensément pour la bonne raison que l'homme est avide du fruit défendu ; ensuite, parce que ce contrôle, dont on espère tant de bien, ne sera jamais qu'illusoire, vu la longueur extraordinaire des frontières des pays producteurs. La Perse, à elle seule, a plus de 3 000 kilomètres de frontières terrestres. Notez qu'il y a aussi la Chine, les Indes, l'Afghanistan, la Turquie d'Asie, le Turkestan, le Boukhara, le Khiva et tant d'autres endroits. Or, combien croyez-vous qu'il faille de douaniers vigilants pour empêcher la contrebande sur une aussi vaste étendue ? Pratiquement, la chose est impossible.\n\nPrince ARFA-ED-DOWLEH (Persia). Interpreter :\n\nGentlemen, you have heard the Report which my distinguished colleague, the Rapporteur, has just read, in which there is given a very precise account of the opium question. As you know, the opium question is a very serious question to humanity.\n\nI wrote a few notes on it, which I wished to send to the Secretary-General; but my colleagues said that it would be more useful if I gave a short account of what I know about opium from the rostrum here to the Assembly, where there are so many listeners. First of all, I will deal with what opium is, and then with the measures which are needed.\n\nAs you know, opium is made from the poppy by certain processes. By those processes two sorts of opium are made. There is the ordinary sort, which is made into little pills, and, in the East, is found in every man's house, and is used as a normal remedy for all sorts of things like weariness and colds. This usage is not peculiar to Persia; but it has been mentioned by the Indian Delegate and the Chinese Delegate as being common in their countries.\n\nThere are the legitimate uses, and the quantity taken amounts to about a gramme a day. There are other abnormal uses up to as much as 10 grammes a day, which is dangerous to health and is prohibited by law. But the evil is not so much here as in the smoking, inhaling and swallowing the drug, and on behalf of Persia, I can say that the ravages from these practices are more dangerous than cholera and other typhus pests, because the latter can be dealt with by doctors and men of science, but the opium question is chronic, and those who take the drug tempt others. Unhappily, its usage is spreading in Europe.\n\nPersia does not remain indifferent to the question. In fact, it takes peculiar interest in it as a producing country, and the Persian Government has studied the question very seriously for a long time before the war. We saw that to forbid the cultivation of the poppy is absolutely impossible, because it is cultivated not only in China and India, but in Persia, Bokhara, Turkestan, Afghanistan and in many other of the Eastern countries.\n\nAnd Persia has a frontier of something like 1,800 miles, so that to guard this frontier, and effectually deal with the question of importing and exporting opium, would necessitate about 50,000 guards and gendarmes. This is, of course, impossible. Therefore, I wish to call attention to the only method by which the matter can be successfully dealt with, and that is by propaganda work, through the Press, by our orators, and by every means of publicity which can be adopted to bring home to people generally the dangerous and awful effects of using this drug.\n\nThe other day proposed in the Fifth Committee, and I wish to propose it here in this Assembly, that this propaganda should be commenced, and the Committee on Hygiene should publish and distribute thousands of pamphlets written in the various languages of the East—Persian, Arabic, Turkish and the various Indian tongues, and that these pamphlets should be spread over the world, in order to impress upon the peoples these dangers I have described. I know what the Oriental mentality is, and I can tell you that a leaflet from the League of Nations, signed by eminent doctors in the West and East, would produce a great effect on the Oriental mind.\n\nI wish to thank the Fifth Committee and the League of Nations for the tremendous effort which has been made with regard to this question.\n\nM. van SWINDEREN (Netherlands). Interpreter :\n\nMr. President, I wish to say a few words in order to explain the reason why I vote in support of these recommendations.\n\nThe rapporteur has referred to the role which the Netherlands Government played in 1913 in connection with the Conference which regulated the traffic in opium. It was at the request of that Government that the question was brought before the League of Nations, and the Netherlands Government has naturally followed the efforts of the League of Nations in this direction, and feels the greatest satisfaction at the results which have been obtained. Indeed, the League of Nations has good reason to congratulate itself on what it has accomplished, and the resolutions before you will tend still further to reduce the ravages of this awful traffic.\n\nEven now, we see the effects which have already been produced in removing some of the former very narrow ideas which were entertained, and we are hopeful of seeing the States silencing the voice of self-interest in favour of humanity. The resolutions before the Assembly will fortify us in regard not only to the measures which have been passed, but with regard to our future action, and they mark out the path along which further progress is possible. Gentlemen, in giving your support to these recommendations, you will be accomplishing a good work, and you will be helping to build up the obstacles on which the foundations have already been laid in the path of this drug, which I may describe as the serpent in our paradise. We may look forward to the day when all the apparatus of this drug will be exhibited only in museums and thus prove that the English proverb, \"all ends in smoke,\" is not applicable to opium, which, in future, I trust will only be used for medicinal purposes. (Applause).\n\nIt is our object to rescue humanity from the moral torpor in which it is plunged, and the high aims of these resolutions constitute a definite step in that direction.\n\nM. HENNESSY (France). Interpreter :\n\nI wish to support the eighth Resolution of the Fifth Committee, and to ask the Assembly to adopt this Resolution. It has been explained in principle by M. Ferreira, the Rapporteur. The Assembly is aware that the Convention of 1912 took into account only those drugs which were the products of the capsule of the poppy, and only vegetable drugs. But a terrible scourge is now threatening our civilisation, in the West as well as in the East, through synthetic drugs of chemical and mineral origin. They are of the same composition as opium and cocaine, but they are made in chemical manufactories. Those who begin to take these drugs under the recommendations of doctors become obsessed with a passionate craving, which takes possession of them and makes them slaves to the drug.\n\n- 6-",

Je viens seulement remercier cette illustre Assemblée et lui apporter l'hommage de mon gouvernement, ainsi qu'aux autres Institutions qui ont pensé à réaliser cette grande œuvre de charité et d'humanité.\n\nComme représentant de l'Orient et du monde islamique, il est de mon devoir de dire que celui-ci regarde toute cette œuvre de charité avec le plus grand intérêt et qu'il est prêt à faire tout son possible pour aider à la chrétienté et à l'humanité tout entière. Aucune différence n'existe entre le monde islamique et le monde catholique; tous, nous faisons partie de l'humanité et nous devons nous aider les uns les autres. D'autre part, comme représentant de la Perse, proche voisine de la Russie, je tiens à vous communiquer les renseignements que mon gouvernement a reçus. Le peuple persan est prêt à donner des quantités considérables de blé, de riz et de farine pour les pauvres affamés de Russie, qui meurent de froid dans cet immense pays. Il faut faire tout ce que nous pourrons pour les secourir. C'est notre tâche, c'est celle de toutes les sociétés de bienfaisance et spécialement de la Société des Nations.\n\nJe remercie M. le Docteur Nansen, qui s'est donné tant de peine et qui est toujours prêt à faire son possible dans ce sens. Les paroles si claires et si justes de M. Motta ont suffi pour vous mettre au courant de la situation actuelle en Russie. Les causes de cette famine, tout le monde les connaît: la sécheresse, les conséquences de la guerre, le manque de moyens de communications, etc. Ce n'est pas pour la Russie seule, mais pour le monde entier, un immense danger.\n\nLa Perse a été victime, en 1918-1919, d'une grande famine. Malheureusement, à ce moment, le monde était en guerre et, sauf les Etats-Unis, qui nous ont un peu aidé, les autres nations n'ont pas pu venir au secours de la Perse, car elles avaient assez à faire pour elles-mêmes. Comme je l'ai déclaré l'année dernière au sein de la première Assemblée, des centaines de milliers de femmes et d'enfants ont succombé aux suites de cette famine. Plus tard, ce fut la Chine qui fut victime de ce fléau, ainsi que les journaux l'ont relaté l'année dernière.\n\nJe ne sais pas si la Société des Nations a fait ce qu'elle pouvait pour venir en aide à la Chine, l'année dernière. Aujourd'hui, c'est la Russie qui doit être secourue; l'année prochaine ce sera peut-être une autre nation encore.\n\nN'oubliez pas qu'après la famine surgissent d'ordinaire des maladies contagieuses. Les constitutions affaiblies par le manque de nourriture ne résistent pas et le choléra et la peste finissent par faire plus de victimes que la famine elle-même. Ce danger est surtout grand pour les pays voisins de la Russie, pour la Perse, pour la Pologne, pour les pays baltiques et peut-être pour l'Europe entière. Nous savons que, dans notre pays, dans les provinces frontières de la Russie, au nord de la Perse, il y a déjà quelques centaines de victimes du choléra.\n\nAu nom du monde islamique, au nom de l'Orient, au nom de l'Humanité entière, je prie l'Assemblée de se rallier au rapport qui lui est présenté par la sixième Commission. Une décision sera prise à la Conférence de Bruxelles et nous espérons bien que les gouvernements des grandes Puissances, qui ont toujours travaillé pour le bien de la civilisation et de l'humanité, ne manqueront pas de faire tout ce qu'ils peuvent pour secourir la Russie. L'Orient est prêt à marcher à leurs côtés dans cette tâche noble et charitable. (Applaudissements.)\n\nM. ENCKELL (Finlande).--Dans l'article 5 de son rapport, la Commission mentionne les souffrances de l'Azerbaïdjan, de la Géorgie et de l'Arménie comme étant dignes de l'attention spéciale des organisations charitables. On sait généralement que les différents peuples du Caucase avaient, après la révolution russe, constitué des gouvernements démocratiques nationaux et que le Gouvernement des Soviets avait solennellement reconnu leur indépendance. En réalité, cette indépendance n'a pas été sincèrement respectée, attendu que des troupes de l'armée rouge des Soviets soutiennent actuellement dans ce pays des gouvernements communistes qui ne peuvent se maintenir au pouvoir que grâce à cet appui. La présence des troupes russes a, comme il est dit dans notre rapport, aggravé la famine.\n\nLes habitants de la Carélie orientale (vaste territoire à l'Est de la frontière finlandaise), frères de race de leurs voisins de Finlande, sont dans la même situation désespérée que les populations du Caucase. Par une déclaration solennelle, communiquée au Gouvernement de Finlande, le Gouvernement des Soviets avait promis d'accorder aux Caréliens une large autonomie et de retirer les troupes russes de leur pays. Ces promesses n'ont pas été tenues et des vivres, exportés de Finlande, pour être distribués à la population carélienne affamée, ont, d'après les dernières nouvelles, été réservés aux troupes d'occupation.\n\nLes Caréliens qui, par milliers, se sont réfugiés en Finlande pour échapper à la terreur rouge et à la famine, ont prié le Gouvernement finlandais de porter leur situation désespérée à la connaissance de la Société des Nations. J'ose donc exprimer respectueusement l'espoir que l'œuvre de secours internationale, que nous voudrions tous voir bientôt entreprise sous la direction de l'éminent Haut-Commissaire de la Conférence de Genève et à laquelle les organisations charitables de mon pays sont prêtes à participer, profitera aussi à la Carélie orientale. (Applaudissements.)\n\nIV. COMMUNICATION DE M. LE PRÉSIDENT RELATIVE A L'ORDRE DU JOUR.\n\nM. le PRÉSIDENT. → Le président de la première Commission me prie de vous annoncer que la séance de cette Commission aura lieu cet après-midi à 15 heures précises, au lieu de 14 heures 30.\n\nJe tiens également à vous faire part de mon intention, si la discussion des conclusions du rapport sur l'œuvre de secours aux populations russes n'est pas terminée ce matin, de vous proposer de tenir cet après-midi, à 17 heures 30 ou à 18 heures, une autre séance pour en finir avec cette question.\n\nV. REPRISE DE LA DISCUSSION SUR L'OEUVRE DE SECOURS AUX POPULATIONS RUSSES.\n\n(Rapport de la sixième Commission)\n\nM. PRÉSIDENT, - La parole est à M. Spalarkovitch\n\nM. SPALAIKOVITCH (Etat serbe-croate-slovène). Messieurs, je ne voterai pas contre la résolution présentée par M. Motta, parce qu'elle ne renferme rien de nuisible et qu'elle est inoffensive. Mais je ne voterai pas non plus pour cette résolution, parce qu'elle est sans couleur et qu'elle ne contient pas ce qu'elle devrait contenir en la circonstance.\n\nElle ne rend pas, en effet, au peuple russe, le seul service que la Société des Nations pourrait lui rendre au milieu de l'effroyable détresse dans laquelle il se trouve; elle ne souffle pas un mot de la vraie cause de ses immenses malheurs, puisqu'elle ne se prononce pas sur le bolchevisme. C'est là une lacune qui me semble, tant au point de vue humanitaire qu'au point de vue politique, incompatible avec le rôle et le but de la Société des Nations qui est, en réalité, une société des Etats.\n\nOn nous a dit que nous devions, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une œuvre humanitaire, éliminer tous les éléments politiques. Je ne suis pas de cet avis. Si nous étions les délégués de la Croix-Rouge, je comprendrais que nous ne devions pas nous immiscer dans des questions politiques à propos d'œuvres humanitaires. Mais nous sommes avant tout les représentants de nos gouvernements. C'est pourquoi, en parlant de la famine en Russie et de la résolution qui s'y rapporte, je me placerai uniquement au point de vue politique et je présenterai mes observations au nom de mon gouvernement.\n\nComme vous tous, Messieurs, je ne puis que louer les nobles sentiments qui inspirent M. le Dr Nansen, mais je regrette de lui dire que son entreprise, dans les conditions qui nous ont été indiquées, est vouée d'avance à un échec certain.\n\nJe déclare que mon gouvernement ne donnera pas un seul centime pour l'œuvre de secours à la Russie dans les conditions qui nous ont été présentées par M. le Dr Nansen et après les stipulations de l'accord passé avec M. Tchitchérine, car ces conditions et ces stipulations ne nous offrent aucune garantie. En attendant, mon gouvernement continuera à secourir les\n\nIV. COMMUNICATION BY THE PRESIDENT CONCERNING THE AGENDA\n\nThe PRESIDENT, Interpreter:\n\nI beg to inform the Assembly that Committee No. instead of meeting at 2.30 p.m., will meet at 3 o'clock. If the debate on the Russian Famine is not finished this morning, I will, at the end of this meeting, announce to you an hour later in the afternoon at which the Assembly will meet again.\n\nV. CONTINUATION OF THE DISCUSSION ON RELIEF WORK IN RUSSIA.\n\n(Report of the Sixth Committee).\n\nDr. SPALAIKOVITCH (Serb-Croat-Slovene State, Interpreter:\n\nI do not propose to vote against M. Motta's Resolution. I see no harm in it, but I am not going to vote for it, because I do not consider that it contains what is needed in this particular crisis. I think it is colourless. It does not give to the Russian people the only thing that will really do them any good, and the only thing that it is in our power to do. There is not a word as to the real cause of this trouble, which is Bolshevism. I feel that the League of Nations should not pass this matter without any reference to the real cause of the evil. We are told that we must say nothing about politics. If we were Delegates of the Red Cross, I could understand that, but we are not; we are Delegates of our Governments, and therefore we must look at this matter from the point of view of politics and speak in the name of our Governments.\n\nI have nothing but praise for the noble sentiments of Dr. Nansen, but I think it my duty to tell you that his work is sure to fail under present circumstances. My Government cannot give a penny to Russian relief under the terms of the agreements between Dr. Nansen and M. Tchicherin because we consider that no guarantees are given. My Government will continue to support the thousands of Russian families who have taken refuge in my country and who have flown from Bolshevism. We have as much sympathy as any of you. We have given our last penny to save our Russian brothers from starvation. But we have no confidence in the Government of Moscow.\n\nThe cause of the famine is not the dry season—it is the Bolshevist regime. It is that which has made a hell on earth of Russia, and has tried to do the same in other countries. Bolshevism is the negation of any stable or sensible Government. The Moscow Government have sought to make all equal, and they have made all equal in misery. When the productive power of Russia was diminished, the workers from the towns took refuge in the country, and then later, owing to their system of confiscation and Communism, the",

The reason is probably to be found in the fact that the Press is an institution which, conscious of its power, usually treats these attacks with the easy indulgence of the navvy, who, when asked why he allowed his little wife to scold him perpetually without protest, replied: \"Well, it pleases her and it doesn't hurt me.\"\n\nAs a rule, too, the indictment is couched in such general terms that those newspapers—and they constitute the vast majority—which know themselves to be above reproach do not deem it worth while to offer any defence, while the others have no defence to offer.\n\nTo judge by its contents, the British Press of Hongkong would appear to be in the first category. The community would appear to be paragons of propriety, untouched by the breath of scandal and dividing their time judiciously between commercial transactions, social gatherings, religious and philanthropic effort, and out-door sports. We have, in fact, nearly realised Sir Edwin Arnold's ideal that a newspaper should be like a sun-dial and record only the bright hours of existence.\n\nThe Rev. J. Kirk Maconachie, however, thinks otherwise. Glancing over a number of copies of our local journals, while on his way out to the Colony, he says, he gained the impression that the main pre-occupation of the place must be Police-court cases. That was before the war. Since then the contents have been rather more diversified, but, even so, he hopes that neither our mentality nor our morality will be judged a century hence by the seeming proportion in which our attention is given to sport, crime, scandal, business, and the public good.\n\nIf our grandchildren take our Press as a whole they will form a pretty just conception of us and our tastes, for the Press is a mirror as well as a mouthpiece, and if you don't like your reflection in it that is largely your own fault.\n\nThe wedding was solemnised, on September 1st, at the Rosary Church, Kowloon, of Mr. R. F. Forbes (of Messrs. Mustard & Co.) and Miss Eva Margaret Summers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Summers (of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co.).\n\nThe ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Spada, Bishop Pozzoni also being present.\n\nThe bride, who was given away by her father, wore a gown of ivory charmeuse with an overskirt of embroidered net and a long embroidered train, carried by the bride's little niece, Evelyn Summers. The bride's veil of old lace, lent by one of her friends, was caught up with orange blossom. Her shower bouquet was of white cadema d'amour tube roses and eucharist lilies.\n\nThe bridesmaid was Miss Ethel Mary Packham, who wore a dress of white net over pink crepe de Chine and a hat of pink georgette. She carried a bouquet of pink cadema d'amour.\n\nThe duties of best man were discharged by Mr. J. H. Brister (of Messrs. Reiss & Co.).\n\nAfter the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents. Later, the newly-wedded couple left for their honeymoon, the bride's going-away costume being of brown floral net over brown crepe de Chine and net, with brown lace hat to match.\n\nEnthusiastic crowds greeted the Prince of Wales on his arrival in Liverpool, last month. At the Cotton Exchange, Col. J. J. Shute, the president, in welcoming his Royal Highness, described him as \"the greatest democrat of us all.”\n\nPersonally I am more concerned about the world we live in than about the impression which will be formed of us a hundred years from now. Some of us are so comfortably placed that but for our newspapers we should know nothing of the temptations, trials, and tribulations of our less fortunate fellowmen. The publication of facts unpleasant in themselves enables those who live in a world apart from the toiling masses to realise the need that exists for the efforts of Ministers of the Gospel and philanthropists, and often constitutes a greater terror to the evil-doer in high places than the punishment inflicted by the law. As the Rev. A. N. Rowland remarked at Shanghai last month, \"so long as we have our newspaper we shall never cease to be religious, for by the aid of its mirror our sins are kept ever before us.\"\n\nMr. Maconachie, on the other hand, fears that the effect on the vast majority of the \"distorted news\" they read is bound to be in the direction of vitiating the mind and degrading the appetite. The minds that are so easily affected must, I fear, be already defiled and debilitated. I have never understood, for example, that our Judges and Magistrates were an unusually depraved class. So far as the \"lower orders\" are concerned, it may be doubted if they read in the newspaper anything worse than the dramas they are compelled to see enacted before their eyes. The moral of even the worst criminal or divorce case is that \"the way of the transgressor is hard.\"\n\nIf the masses, like most of us, are attracted by \"the human interest\" there are invariably other less \"objectionable\" items provided for their edification and acceptance—the powder concealed in the jam, as it were. The Einstein Theory, even though garnished with bright and vivacious missionary news, would \"leave them cold,\" I fear, at present, just as religion did till the Salvation Army popularised it with red jerseys, tambourines, and hymns set to music-hall tunes to the horror of the staid and respectable.\n\nWhen Mr. Maconachie laments the space which the newspaper editors devote to the outré, the abnormal, and the distorted, he should derive comfort from the reflection that there are some things, such as the death of Queen Anne, which are taken for granted, and quite properly so. Imagine the consternation that would be caused if this journal appeared one morning with such announcements as the following:\n\nYesterday passed without an earthquake.\n\nMessrs. Ellis, Dee and Co are, our advices lead us to believe, still solvent.\n\nThe s.s. Typhoon, which left London last week with a full passenger list for Hongkong, is, we rejoice to learn, still afloat.\n\nMr. ... Our esteemed fellow-townsman, Beer, was perfectly sober last night.\n\nThe Municipal Engineer did a good honest day's work yesterday.\n\nThe manager of the Cash Bank has not disappeared and is still at large.\n\nMr. Blank, our readers will be glad to know, was seen yesterday spending a portion of his hard-earned wages in buying boots for the baby, while his wife was heard singing cheerfully at the wash-tub.\n\nThe only difficulty about this sort of \"news\" lies in the possibility of somebody discovering an innuendo in it, and of anyone who should happen, by an oversight, to be omitted from the review, regarding the omission as an oblique reflection on him. The Law of Libel robs the Press of much potential brightness.\n\nIn England it is the invariable practice to hold an inquest upon the body of every person who comes to a violent end or dies suddenly without medical attention. In Hongkong there is no such rule, the matter being left entirely to the discretion of the coroners, who are also the magistrates. From most points of view the Home practice seems to be the better of the two, for, though the immediate cause of death may be perfectly obvious, there are often surrounding circumstances that call for investigation, and blame can be apportioned or sinister rumours silenced.\n\nBy way of illustration let me recall the fatal accident which befell a European boy a week or two back when returning with his mother by the launch run, I believe, under the aegis of the Government to and from Stonecutter's for the convenience of bathers. The published reports stated that the little fellow overbalanced and fell into the water, and that no trace of him could be found till next day, though the launch was stopped and several people dived in to rescue him. Rumours now in circulation are in direct conflict with this statement. What degree of credence is to be attached to them I do not know, owing to the absence of any sworn testimony, but it seems pertinent to ask, at least, how the boy ...\n\n217",

A new dining hall, situated in the basement, has been provided. The entrance to this room is by a fine staircase, about nine feet wide, from the main hall. The new room is fitted with all modern conveniences. The woodwork is teak, with an attractive colour scheme of buff and white, and the splendid lighting arrangements and the large verandah windows, from which a view of the Peak can be obtained, all add to the charm of this welcome addition. The hall seats about a hundred diners and is so arranged that it can also be used for dances and cinematograph shows. Connected with the dining hall are a new kitchen and pantry, both spacious and well-fitted.\n\nSeven more bed-rooms have been provided, including a room for the matron. They are fitted with teak furniture and look very cosy little places. The library, to which has been added several new books, has been moved to one of the new rooms of the extension and a better lighting system has been installed.\n\nThese extensions were made owing to the generosity of the late Sir Ellis Kadoorie. The cost of the furnishing was undertaken by the Institute. The architects were Messrs. Denison, Ram and Gibbs.\n\nNESTLE & ANGLO-SWISS CONDENSED MILK\n\nTHE COWIE HARBOUR COAL COMPANY LIMITED.

A manifesto was issued next day to the effect that the request that Tang Shao-yi should form a Cabinet was withdrawn, and that Wong Chung-wai had been appointed Premier.\n\nAnother Peking message states that the terms for the return of the naval squadron from Canton have been arranged, and they will be put into effect when the Peking Government is in a position to meet the arrears of payment.\n\nWUCHOW UNREST.\n\nSTAR THEATRE.\n\n\"The Miracle of Love\".\n\nENTERTAINMENTS\n\nTHE CORONET\n\nHOTELS\n\nLEADING FAR EASTERN HOTELS.\n\nHONGKONG:\n\nPeak Hotel,\n\nRepulse Bay Hotel.\n\n'SHANGHAI:\n\nPalace Hotel,\n\nGrand Hotel Kalee.\n\nPEKING:\n\nGrand Hotel des Wagon Lits.\n\nThe Hongkong Hotel Co., Ltd.\n\nIn conjunction with\n\nThe Shanghai Hotels, Ltd.\n\nand\n\nThe Grand Hotel des Wagons Ltd.\n\nKING EDWARD HOTEL.\n\nCENTRAL LOCATION,\n\nELECTRIC LIFTS AND LIGHTING, TELEPHONE ON EACH FLOOR.\n\nHOTEL LAUNCH MEETS ALL STEAMERS.\n\nIsl.

It is moving eastward.\n\nHowever inclement the weather outside, there is always a feeling of tranquility inside the Star Theatre. This evening the management is exhibiting as a special attraction the film version of Cosmo Hamilton's famous novel, \"The Miracle of Love.\"\n\nIt took three weeks to erect the elaborate \"set\" of the House of Lords for \"The Miracle of Love.\"\n\nIt is a stirring story of English high life, with Wyndham Standing and Lucy Cotton in the chief parts. The hero is a younger son of a British noble family who is about to renounce his career as an idle and impecunious lord and seek his fortune outside of England, when he suddenly becomes heir to the title through the accidental death of his elder brother. A love story has been worked into the plot, which is said to abound in thrilling situations.\n\nFORECAST FOR THE 24 HOURS ENDING AT NOON TO-MORROW.\n\nDistrict.\n\nFormosa Channel\n\n2 South\n\ncoast of China between H.K. & Lamocks.\n\nThe Military and Gambling.\n\nNews from Wuchow brought back by a resident who has been there on a pleasure trip reveals very much the same state of topsy-turveydom that has been prevalent for months past. Soldiers of the Fourth Division of the Cantonese Army who have been garrisoning the town are said to be sadly out of hand on account of arrears in pay, and to secure funds they have transformed themselves into gambling monopolists. In the main street there are as many as forty concerns doing a brisk business in fantan, and officers are unable to enforce discipline on the men. The situation is given a farcical touch by the elaborate precautions of three gunboats in midstream, which appear to apprehend danger from the military, for their steam has been continually kept up ready for any emergency since their arrival under the orders of Chan Wing-son.\n\nReports are filtering into Hongkong of fighting between the Kwangtung and Yunnanese troops on the one hand and the Kwangsi troops on the other, further up the interior.\n\nPublic confidence appears to have been very badly shaken, for the majority of the shops remain closed, whilst those that venture to continue business close their shutters very early in the evenings. Pedestrians are a rare sight at night, many of the inhabitants preferring the safety of barred doors to walking about in the streets, where, as likely as not, they would stand the risk of being robbed by the military.\n\nRECORD ENROLMENT AT SHANGHAI UNIVERSITY.\n\nA record number of students has been enrolled in St. John's University (Shanghai), 340 in the collegiate department and 250 in the middle school.\n\nat 2 p.m. 6 am 2pm.\n\n76 17\n\n84 86\n\n6 4 Sa. 23 m 10 49 69 4 9\n\n22nd. to 28th, Sept. 1922\n\nLow Water\n\nHongkong\n\nHoogkong\n\nMean Time\n\n1, b. m.\n\nMean Time\n\nft. m. 7.3 20 48 6.%\n\nb.

Earli \n\nIt was pointed out to him that when establishing aerodromes, it was a general rule that the land did not exist. \nWhile it might be expected that the land would be available, it had to be prepared to give the land for the aerodrome, making it available for use.\n\nOn the question of contribution, Mr Ellis, after referring to the financial straits in which the Colony found itself, proceeded to explain the implications of the dredging proposals. \nThe original estimation for the aerodrome was $738,000. \nA sum of $1,000,000 had been provided for the completion of the reclamation, which would take approximately 3½ years. \nThe Governor had proposed shortening this period by 2 years by dredging certain portions of the harbour and depositing the spoil on the reclamation area.\n\nThe cost of completing the reclamation would be increased, and it was estimated that an additional $750,000 would be required. \nAbout half the dredging operations would benefit the harbour; the remainder would be of doubtful benefit, and might even be detrimental.\n\nPage 40\nPage 41",

If this offer was not accepted, alternative arrangements would have to be sought. HK would have to borrow money, subject to other long-term solutions, e.g., the Treasurer putting up the money for the first few years, with refundment when HK recovered from the existing depression. (An arrangement on these lines was apparently made in the case of the Sudan).\n\nBut it was hoped that this offer would be accepted so that there might be no further delay either in the establishment of the aerodrome or in the arrangements to be made, on which Mr Praine was working, not in kanggest a safe place, Consulting Engineers would doubthen be able to frige.

W. 1.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\nHONGKONG. 10th June, 1927.\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your confidential despatch of 14th April, 1927, on the subject of the premium on Bank Notes as compared with silver dollars in Hong Kong.\n\n2\\. The Honourable Mr. A.C. Hynes, Acting Manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, has been requested by the Colonial Treasurer to furnish a memorandum on this very complicated and technical matter. A copy of his reply is enclosed.\n\n3\\. I support Mr. Hynes' suggestion that, if further information is required, reference should be made to Sir Newton Stabb or Mr. A.H. Barlow, both of whom have great experience of local conditions. Communication with these gentlemen can be established through the London office of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at 9 Gracechurch Street E.C.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nLIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

W. 1.\n30th August 1927.\n\nDear Ellis,\n\n**HONG KONG CURRENCY.**\n\nI have not been able to reply earlier to your note of 16th August, as I have been away on a short holiday.\n\nThe reply from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank seems to me very unsatisfactory, and does not convince me of the necessity for any separation in the values of the note and the dollar. I still think that the present system is neither sound nor safe, and that the position, though no doubt difficult, ought to be remediable.\n\nWould it not be worth while to have it investigated by a small independent committee?\n\nI am choked up at the moment with work left over for me, but I hope to look in and see you in a few days.\n\nYours sincerely,\nPhechees\n\nW.D.Ellis, Esq.C.M.G.\n\nPage \nMr. E.

H.K. imposes no customs duties and is, therefore, unable to grant preference to\n\nBritish goods by means of a protective tariff.\n\nHowever, H.M.G. have, as the Board of Trade say,\n\nconsistently opposed such prohibitions elsewhere,\n\nthey can hardly be defended in H.K.

        "content_text": "# March 1st, 1929.\n\n## Two N.C.O.'s Receive Medals\n\nTo the strains of Handel's 'Scipio' March, the General inspected the ranks, chatting genially with various officers and men from time to time. Then, returning to the saluting base, the General took the salute as the corps marched past in Company formation.\n\nThe companies marched exceptionally well, and the swinging kilts of the Scotties made a brave sight which was accentuated by the flashing glint of swords and bayonets.\n\nAt the halt in front of the General, the wings of the Corps formed left and right companies respectively, the parade taking the shape of three sides of a square. The General then bestowed long service medals on C.S.M. Green and Sergt. Jack. He then made a farewell speech.\n\nThe General spoke warmly of the progress made by the band. This was their first appearance at an annual inspection and they had done extremely well, he said.\n\nThe four years he had spent in Hong Kong had proved to him the value of the Corps as a defence force, and, as a trained body of men, they were a decided asset to the Colony. They were a credit to their energetic and painstaking Commandant, Lieut.-Col. Bird.\n\nMany changes had taken place, and new companies had been formed in order to cope with modern demands. The Corps was now working on right lines and he assured them that, if they were needed in an emergency, they would take their place as a recognised unit side by side with regular forces.\n\n## The New Colours\n\nIt gave him special pleasure, he continued, to observe the new colours, presented to the Corps by the ladies of the Colony, on parade for the first time.\n\nThe Corps would find a warm friend in his successor. General Sandilands had commanded a Territorial Brigade at home not many years ago. Thus he would understand the needs and difficulties of the Corps and would prove a most helpful adviser to them.\n\n\"And now,\" he concluded, \"I wish you goodbye and good luck!\" With the tang of the trombones and cornets and the steady beat of the drum keeping them in step, the Corps swung in fours from the Parade Ground and marched back to their Headquarters.\n\nTo-day, they have donned their civilian clothes and are back again at their office desks wondering if the \"boss\" was there and if he noticed them and their drill.\n\nH.A.F.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\n## NATIONAL DANCES AT KOWLOON\n\n## EIGHTEEN NATIONS REPRESENTED\n\n\"Great oaks from little acorns grow.\" It was at a gathering of ladies at an afternoon tea that the subject of the \"Vira dances\" of Portugal was discussed and the idea was thrown out that probably Mme. Tamagnini, the artistic wife of the popular Governor of Macao, H.E. Senhor Artur Tamagnini Barbosa, might be found willing to arrange and conduct the practices for a display of a few of the national dances of Portugal in Hong Kong. This was the genesis of the international dances festival which took place at the Club de Recreio on Saturday afternoon and which was pronounced such a conspicuous success by the hundreds of residents from Hong Kong and Macao gathered within the hall of the Recreio building, in King's Park.\n\nMrs. W. T. Southorn, wife of the Colonial Secretary, developed the proposal to stage the Portuguese national dance into a great social reunion in which the nationalities forming part of the great cosmopolitan community of Hong Kong could be made to feel actively interested.\n\nThe entertainment opened with a contradance executed by some forty little children, for the most part sons and daughters of members of the Club de Recreio. The boys were dressed in black as little pages, and the girls represented diminutive ballad dancers in dresses of light and pleasing hues. The music was provided by the Portuguese juvenile orchestra with Master Horacio Graca Ozorio as conductor. The dance was staged by Mr. Duarte Baptista.\n\nThe Misses Stella and Helen and Rachel Wong next took the floor with the \"Dance of the Lanterns,\" the three young ladies being gorgeously dressed in Chinese costume.\n\nThe Portuguese had formed a Company which was keenly enthusiastic. He deplored the apathy with regard to enlistment on the part of Britishers in the Colony and hoped that this would be remedied. He hoped also that they would expand the present Army Service Corps Cadre and thus ensure an efficient system of mechanical transport to deal with emergencies.\n\nFrance contributed a second item - Danse Des Lutins - to the first part of the programme, the execution of which by Mlle. Bonenfant with a delicacy of taste and finish was very greatly admired.\n\n## Russian Muzrka\n\nMiss O'Keefe's talented pupils delighted the audience with Russian mazurka. The bright dresses, the high black top boots and the entire get-up were greatly admired. The young ladies were deservedly applauded; they were the Misses Bella and Betty Pestonjee, Norma and Thelma May, Marion Bryson, Tamara Ellis, Nellie Field and Maud George.\n\n## Great Britain's Part\n\nThe first part of the programme concluded with items of an Old English dance and an Irish Jig. For this again the audience had to thank Miss O'Keefe and her versatile little boy and girl pupils, no less than sixteen of whom appeared on the stage in gay dresses for the English dance and four for the jig. For the latter Margery Simpson partnered Billy Mayes, and Joyce Crapnell Patsy Wood. The little entertainers received deserved appreciation from the large audience.\n\n## Al Fresco Tea\n\nDuring the interval selections of music were played by the Band of the Queen's Royal Regiment and were greatly enjoyed. Tea served in the open on the beautiful lawn of the Recreio Club.\n\n## Portuguese Songs and Dances\n\nWhen the curtain lifted for the second part of the entertainment, it was seen with what care and thought Mme. Tamagnini had designed the staging to represent a Portuguese village. The scene opens in a countryside. There is considerable gaiety and hilarity and the text was described in Mme. Tamagnini's address. Dances from the provinces of Algarve, Minho and Coimbra were artistically executed by some 36 leading residents of Macao and the national songs of fair Lusitania were heard by some for the first time on a stage in Hong Kong. The dresses were greatly admired for their colourful beauty and design and are just those that are worn by the peasants in Portugal. Music was played on the national instruments - the mandolin, the guitar and concertinas. At intervals they were supplemented by a Columbia Kloster electric gramophone kindly lent by Anderson Music Co.\n\nIn the typical dress of a French lassie and lad, Mlle. Bonenfant and M. de la Prade earned well-deserved applause in a danse Alsacienne which they performed to perfection to the accompaniment of Mme. de la Prade at the piano. The little couple are very young, and gave an exhibition of skill remarkable for their tender years.\n\n## \"Harbinger of Spring\"\n\nNotable for their poetic conception and daintiness of colouring, the Japanese contributors to the programme staged what is charmingly described as the \"Harbinger of Spring.\" The stage setting, the lantern light effects, and the scenery were all the work of the Japanese sub-committee who carried it out under the personal direction of Mr. M. Kitayama, hon. secretary of the Japanese Residents' Association. The performers were Mrs. C. Makiyama, and the Misses Y. Takeda and E. Hachiuma (dancers), Mesdames K. Kineya and Y. Hasuda (singers) with Mesdames S. Wada, Y. Kobayashi and Y. Takeda as accompanists.\n\n## Grand Finale\n\nThen came the grand spectacular finale in an international tableau representing no less than eighteen nations.\n\nThanks must be accorded Col. Cardew, the musical director, for staging this \"federation of the world\" so thoroughly representative of the cosmopolitan community of Hong Kong and to all the ladies taking part in it.\n\nPage 281\nPage 122",

        "content_text": "# Mr Clauson Mr Ellis \n\n8 \n\nI have set out the chief points of the present Hong Kong proposals for changing the basis of assessment, and the Treasury and War Office views on them. \n\nI agree generally with Mr Caine. The fact is that the Home Government will not give any serious consideration to any proposal for revising the system of assessment unless they can be satisfied that there will at least be no decrease in the total sum payable by the Colony, whereas in the \"reserved claims\" simultaneously put forward on this occasion by Hong Kong the cloven hoof appeared and has frightened the Treasury and the War Office away pretty completely. \n\nMy own view is that if it is necessary and equitable to require a Colony to pay nearly 1/5 of its total revenue away as a contribution to the War Department towards the cost of its Defence we shall not avoid bitter resentment by the Colony from time to time simply by changing the basis of assessment: and I agree with the Treasury that the resentment will be more likely increased if the assessment is focussed on so particular a basis as the annual valuation in place of general revenues. \n\nThe War Office and the Treasury make it clear that they will not consider any change or any claims for exemption except such as involve virtually no decrease in the amount payable. The Hong Kong Government, or in any case the Unofficial Members, will see no satisfaction in that. \n\nAs I read the War Office memorandum the War Office does not seem prepared to favour a concession to any of the particular classes of revenue in which claims are made by the Governor except that the net receipts instead of gross receipts should be assessable in the case of wireless telegraphy since that is a class of revenue not existing in 1895. \n\nIt seems that they are further prepared to consider the exemption of 6%, in place of 4%, of the capital expenditure incurred in the establishment of \"railways, telephones, or other public undertakings, the cost of which was defrayed out of the revenue of the Colony and not by means of a loan\". \n\nThey point out that such a concession would properly have to be applied to other Colonies also. \n\nI suggest that before we pursue the question of an inter-Departmental Conference, we should draft a despatch to Hong Kong (who have now asked for an early reply to \"the questions at issue\") setting out the principles from which His Majesty's Government cannot depart in any review of the present system of assessment: and refer to the percentage of capital expenditure on railways etc. (as in § 3 of the Ordinance) and to the position of such classes of revenue as Wireless Services, which were non-existent in 1895; but add in that respect a statement of the principle which I have marked in paragraph 17 of the War Office memorandum - I think it is a perfectly good one.\n\nPage 9\n\nStill less is it likely to put on the Colony any increased burden under this head; and say that of the reserved claims put forward in the Officer Administering the Government's confidential despatch of 28th July in `52802/28` these are being considered as affecting both Hong Kong and other Colonies where a defence contribution is assessed under a like system. \n\nThe draft should go to the War Office and the Treasury for concurrence mentioning that the Governor has urged us to give a reply, and saying that the two matters mentioned as possible points for concession to Colonial Governments paying Military contribution can be considered thereafter.\n\n(Signed) G.E.J. Gent. \n30.9.\n\nI am inclined to deprecate the mild \"defeatism\" of Mr. Gent's minute. I agree that the 'rateable value' proposal should be dropped, but I think that the Col. Govt. has an admirable case on most of the points in which they want to have the items knocked out of the gross revenue. \n\nI am not alarmed by the \"W.O. dictum that an alteration of the basis of assessment should be accompanied by an increase of percentage. No Govt., least of all the present one, is going to ask a Colony to pay more than 20% of its revenues away in defence contributions. \n\nI think that we should have an inter-Departmental Conference to try to put the Colony's case as strongly as we can.\n\nG.L.M-Clauson \n1/10/29\n\nPage 10\nPage 11",

White.-Dangerfield, Bremner, \nCampbell, and Stanton. \n\nNo. 4 Chukka :- \nRed.-H.R.H., Lord Airlie, \nThomas, and Sugden.

White.-Comyn, Perfect, Abbott, \nand Wolfe-Murray. \n\nIn the evening a dinner party was given at Government House in honour of His Royal Highness by H. E. the Governor.\n\nThe Prince is staying at Government House as the guest of His Excellency.\n\nThe following guests were entertained by His Excellency at dinner at Government House on Thursday evening:- H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, Mrs. Southorn, Hon. Mr. Creasy, Mrs. Tratman, Captain Whyte, Mr. Dyer, Very Rev. Dean Swann, Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Dyer, Hon. Comdr. Hole, Mrs. Skinner, Hon. Mr. Southorn, Mrs. Creasy, Hon. Dr. Wellington, Captain Has-\nkard.\n\n## Japanese Fireworks\nAll points of vantage in the city, on the Praya Reclamation in Wan-\nchai and in the open spaces in Kowloon were thronged with people at night, when the Japanese community entertained His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester with a fireworks display.\n\nThe fireworks started at 10 p.m. and the display was kept up for an hour. Altogether about fifty rockets were fired and the colour combinations produced pretty effects. Red, blue, green and white lights were the predominant shades.\n\nThe rockets were discharged from the Volunteer Parade Ground at intervals of about three minutes and a strong westerly wind carried most of the lights past the city to the Western district, where the Chinese scrambled for the remains of the rockets as they came to earth. Each light is suspended on a paper parachute which is weighted down with a good number of cash and it is this last which is naturally the main cause of the scramble for the parachutes.\n\n## GUESTS AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE\nThe following were guests at Government House:- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Sir Robert Ho Tung |\n| Lady Ho Tung |\n| The Earl of Airlie |\n| Mrs. J. R. Wood |\n| His Honour Mr. Justice Wood |\n| Lady Marcia Miles |\n| Hon. Mr. Hynes |\n| Mrs. Ferguson |\n| Colonel Skinner |\n| Colonel Bird |\n| Major Miles |\n| Captain Kerr |\n| Mr. Scott |\n| Captain Sillitoe |\n| Captain Perfect |\n| Mr. Ferguson |\n| Mr. Tratman |\n| Mrs. Swann |\n| Hon. Dr. Tso |\n| Mrs. Tso |\n| Commodore Hill |\n| Mrs. Wellington |\n| Mr. Arbuthnot |\n\n## AT FANLING\n### INFORMAL FOURSOMES PLAYED\nThe Duke of Gloucester enjoyed a quiet foursome at Fanling on April 26, partnered by the Hon. Mr. Major-General Sandilands and Mr. E. Elles partnered Mr. H. L. Smith against Rear-Admiral Meade and Capt. the Hon. W. S. Leveson-Gower, while the Earl of Airlie and Mr. R. H. B. Hancock played against Mr. Lloyd Thomas and Mr. A. Cameron. The foursomes were quite friendly and informal, and no scores were taken.\n\nIncluding His Royal Highness and H.E. the Governor, the majority of the party wore khaki shorts, drill jackets, and khaki topees.\n\nOn arrival at Fanling, the Royal party were welcomed by Mr. L. S. Greenhill, Captain of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, and members of the Committee.\n\nLieut. Col. E. D. Matthews, secretary of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, who had gone out overnight to make arrangements, was in charge at Fanling, where the distinguished visitors were entertained to tiffin.\n\n## Interest In Kowloon\nWhen H.R.H. passed at 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning along Nathan Road on his way out to the Fanling Golf Course very few people were about. However, Sir Cecil Clementi had given notice that he would be passing about that time and thousands lined Nathan Road waiting patiently for his arrival.\n\n## \"TO MEET PRINCE HENRY\"\n### GARDEN PARTY AT H.K. CRICKET CLUB GROUND\n### PAVILION BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED\n\"His Excellency the Governor requests the pleasure of your company at a Reception on the Ground of the H.K. Cricket Club on April 26, at 4:30 p.m., to meet His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, K.G., G.C.V.O.\"\n\nTwo thousand members of the colony of Hong Kong were thrilled to receive a large card headed with the Royal crest in gold which invited them to meet Prince Henry. And the joy spread further, for frock and hat shops were invaded in order that the ladies of Hong Kong might do honour to the Prince.\n\nMeanwhile the Committee of the Cricket Club had also been busy, and their lovely ground was transformed by banks of flowers, the pavilion hung with bunting, and flag-decked marquees erected in a large semi-circle round the outskirts facing towards the pavilion. In the marquees tea and refreshments were served to the guests, while in front of the pavilion, behind a row of magnificent pot plants, was the \"high table\" and a series of striped umbrellas, at which His Excellency the Governor sat with the Guest of Honour and the Government House party.\n\nThe Prince was received inside the pavilion by Mr. R. Hancock (President) and members of the Committee of the Club, and appeared on the steps with Sir Cecil Clementi at about 4:50 p.m. His appearance was heralded by the band of the K.O.S.B., who were grouped in the middle of the ground, playing \"God Save the King.\"\n\nHis Royal Highness was introduced by H.E. the Governor to the Government House party and then went forward to shake hands with a number of Indian officers who were lined up to meet him, before sitting down to tea.\n\nDuring the tea interval the Pipe Band and the Regimental Band of the K.O.S.B. played alternately. The Pipers marching up and down as they played, with their kilts and ribbons swinging, added considerably to the gay and picturesque effect.\n\nThe following were Sir Cecil Clementi's guests at tiffin on Thursday at Government House :- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester |\n| Mrs. Waistell |\n| The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Victoria |\n| General Sir Hugh Elles |\n| Captain Whyte |\n| Mr. N. S. Brown |\n| Capt. Wolfe-Murray |\n| Mr. Hornell |\n| Hon. Sir Shou Son Chow |\n| The Earl of Airlie |\n| Mrs. Shenton |\n| His Honour Sir H. Gollan |\n| Hon. Mr. Shenton |\n| Mr. Braga |\n| Mr. Alabaster |\n| Captain Kerr |\n| Captain Sillitoe |\n| Mr. Scott |\n| Colonel Comyn |\n| Mr. Thomas |\n| Hon. Sir Henry Pollock |\n| Hon. Mr. Mesny |\n| Mr. Murakami |\n| Mrs. Strachey |\n| General Sandilands |\n| Lady Pollock |\n| E. Admiral Waistell |\n| Lady Chow |\n| Hon. Sir Joseph Kemp |\n| Mrs. Kotewall |\n| Admiral Meade |\n| Hon. Mr. North |\n| Mr. Li Yau Tsuen |\n| Captain Strachey |\n| Captain Perfect |\n\nAs the crowds of women and children broke through the barrier and rushed onto the pier waving and cheering to the Duke who smilingly replied by raising his hat and waving in return, the scene, with the gay frocks of the ladies, the green grey buildings and big trees, may have reminded H.R.H. of the beautiful grounds of Buckingham Palace.\n\nOur representative was told that His Royal Highness was immensely pleased with his trip around the New Territories, and deeply interested in all that he saw.\n\n46 \n14",

Harding's minute of the 7th of March last (HongKong/72768/1930) on the subject of the selection of a successor to Mr. Phelips as Auditor of Hong Kong (who is due to retire on pension at the beginning of June) I now recommend the selection of Mr. P. L. Collisson, O.B.E., of this Department who, at the present time, holds the appointment of Auditor in Uganda. This recommendation is made in accordance with Mr. A. J. Harding's wishes, and I have ascertained that Mr. Collisson is willing to accept the appointment under the conditions set out in the despatch from the Secretary of State to the Officer Administering the Government, Hong Kong, No. 115 of the 15th of April, 1930.\n\nAs you are aware it is desirable that the successor to Mr. Phelips should be appointed as soon as possible and, from the departmental point of view, there is no reason, so far as I am aware, why Mr. Collisson should not proceed to Hong Kong without undue delay, so, if my recommendation is approved, I would ask that Mr. Collisson may be informed that he has been selected to fill the impending vacancy as Auditor of Hong Kong and that it is desired that his transfer should take effect as soon after the 4th of June as may be convenient to the Government of Uganda.\n\nI presume that the expenses of Mr. Collisson's transfer from Uganda to Hong Kong,\n\nPage 8\n\n13",

I consulted Sir Claud Severn, late Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, who was a personal friend of Mr. Wodehouse and had known him, both privately and officially, for a number of years. As I passed through Malaya, I consulted Sir Cecil Clementi. Both these gentlemen were very definite in their opinion that, while Mr. Wodehouse had done meritorious work, he was not fitted for promotion to a more responsible post.
