A mere exchange of diplomatic courtesies will not do; the time has come for decisive action.\n\nThe Turkish Circular, says the _Pesth Lloyd_, has a notoriously mendacious tone. A Vienna telegram published by the same newspaper confirms the statement that the Auersperg Cabinet will remain in office until the situation has been rendered somewhat plainer by debates of the Delegations.\n\n## German Parliament and the Socialists\n\nThe German Parliament resumed today the debate on the Anti-Socialist Bill, and passed the second reading of Paragraph 1 in the form, in all essential points, in which it was proposed by the Court. The Centre, Fortschritt, and Socialist parties voted in the minority.\n\n## Social Events\n\nThere has been a great deal of gaiety at Simla this week. The members of the Viceroy's staff gave a fancy dress ball, at which about 100 people were present. Neither Lord nor Lady Lytton appeared in fancy dress.\n\nYesterday, the marriage of Mr. Richard Fanor Curry, stepson of the Rev. J. D. Collis, D.D., and eldest surviving son of the late Admiral Curry, of Shottery Hall, Stratford-on-Avon, to Miss Bright, daughter of the Right Hon. John Bright, M.P., was celebrated at the Friends' Meeting-house, Southport, which was crowded.\n\n## Afghan Affairs and British Policy\n\nThe policy which the Government of India intends to pursue is, of course, shrouded in mystery to all except those in high office, and, of course, there is plenty of general speculation about its nature. In the Punjab, very divergent opinions are entertained about the kind of policy which would be best for the Government of India to adopt.\n\nSome believe that the Afghans should be left alone altogether, to \"stew in their own juice,\" as it were, and that if the Russians become particularly friendly with them, the friendship is not likely to last long.\n\n## Funeral of Lord Chelmsford\n\nIt having been announced that the mortal remains of the late Lord Chelmsford were to be interred in the family vault at Brompton Cemetery yesterday, long before the time fixed, the grounds were filled by members of the legal profession anxious to pay their last respects to the late venerable judge.\n\n## Canterbury Convocation\n\nYesterday, the Archbishop of Canterbury attended at the Board Room in the Dean's-yard, Westminster, and prorogued the present Convocation of the province of Canterbury, by virtue of a Royal writ, to Monday, the 4th day of November next.\n\n## Other News\n\nThe Minister President, Herr Tisza, and Baron Wenckheim leave tonight for Vienna. It is reported here that when Herr Tisza returns, he will hand over the direction of the Home Ministry to another member of the Cabinet.\n\nCount Andrassy is resolved to defend his entire policy before the Delegations, and to make the matter a Cabinet question, on the result of which his retention of office would depend.\n\nThe Executive Council of the Greenwich Five Hundred have decided to give a dinner in connection with the association very shortly, to which Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Stone and Mr. Saunders, the Liberal candidates at the next election, will be invited.\n\nWe regret to have to announce the death, at the age of 57, of Mr. John Kay, Q.C., at the residence of Mrs. Drummond, his mother-in-law, at Fredley, near Dorking.\n\n| Name | Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Richard Fanor Curry | Stepson of Rev.

John Bright, M.P. |\n\n## Telegraphic News\n\n(BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.)\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nPESTH, THURSDAY NIGHT.\n\n## Afghan Frontier\n\nThe Central News says that the Government of India has received official information confirming the presence of Russian troops within fifteen miles of Constantine.\n\nThe news has created great excitement in Government circles, and it was immediately resolved to demand an explanation from Russia.\n\n## British Policy in Afghanistan\n\nThe policy of establishing a series of independent States between Cabul and the Oxus is considered to be a very comprehensive one, and is judged to be worth adopting in the event of the Government of India entertaining no idea of entering upon any bolder or more comprehensive policy.\n\nThe writer believes that it will be good to fortify the Bamian Pass, and so close the way to Cabul for any enemy approaching from Bokhara or Samarkand.\n\n## Other Developments\n\nThe marriage register having been signed, the wedding party left the chapel for Birkdale. Mr. Bright was enthusiastically cheered by the large crowd which had assembled in the street.\n\nThe Executive Council of the Greenwich Five Hundred have decided to give a dinner in connection with the association very shortly.\n\nMr. Gladstone has already signified his readiness to be present.\n\nThe banquet will be to celebrate the successful organization of the association on the Birmingham system.\n\n## Page 363\n\n## Afghan Tribes\n\nThe Afridis, who inhabit the hills about the Khyber Pass, are split up into various clans, all of which are constantly at feud with one another.\n\nThe principal clans are the Malikdeen Khel, Tukka Khel, and others.\n\nThe Khyberees have always been a thorn in the side of the Afghan rulers, and have exacted a heavy price for their allegiance.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nThe situation in Afghanistan remains complex and fluid, with various factions vying for power and influence.\n\nThe British Government is faced with the challenge of determining the best course of action to protect its interests in the region.\n\nPage 594", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 306482, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9]", "page_number": 238, "title": "CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9]", "content_text": "236\n\n13.

Since my return from leave of absence in England, the labelling of plants in the Gardens has been proceeded with as fast as circumstances permitted.\n\n16. Interchanges of plants and seeds have been actively carried on with various Gardens and correspondents in British Colonies, England, and other countries.\n\n17. The number of Plants sent out was 3,687, and of packets of Seeds 295 to 48 recipients, included in 68 consignments.\n\n18. The contributions were 903 Plants and 233 packets of Seeds from 31 different sources; of these the principal were:-\n\nAn HEEP, Compradore Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE; Chinese Fibres.\n\nALDERTON, Capt.; choice ornamental Japanese plants and seeds of Pinus Massoniana.\n\nBENNAYS, L.

Thanks are particularly due to Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co., the Agents of the E. A. R. S. S. Company, for their great kindness in conveying plants and seeds free of cost, to Messrs. JARDINE MATHESON & Co., DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co., and the CANTON STEAMBOAT COMPANY for similar services; and also to the Captains and Officers of the many steamers for the care which has been bestowed on the various consignments.\n\n20. Rhagodia hastata, the \"salt bush\" of Australia, upon which cattle and sheep feed during droughts, has been introduced and planted on the hills for trial; it has grown vigorously during the dry season, and will probably be useful in future for fodder, which is much required by cow-keepers.\n\n21. Euchlaena luxurians, a new fodder grass, was received from Kew Gardens, and grown last year. Under cultivation it grew very rapidly and reached a height of 15 feet, but plants which were planted on the hill-side and left to themselves only attained 5 feet high and were yellow and sickly. I think it is unsuited for our soil.\n\n22. Another Shrub, indigenous to the Canaries and called \"Tagasaste” (Cytisus proliferus) is said to be much liked by goats and cattle. Seeds of it have been received from Kew Gardens and plants raised from them have just been planted on the hills.\n\n23. In consequence of the change announced by His Excellency the Governor in Council on November 6th, 1879, which restored the Botanical Department to independency and entirely disconnected it from the Survey Department, the business of this Department has been much facilitated and increased in usefulness. The working of the Tree Planting Establishment with Chinese assistants has given me much satisfaction.\n\n24. With the contemplated extension of usefulness which is desired from these Gardens, similar to the work done by other Botanical Gardens, I shall endeavour to accomplish, with the aid that is always accorded to institutions of this kind, the work that is expected from us. I would take this opportunity of inviting the aid of all persons interested in Botanical work. Persons travelling, or located in different parts of China, frequently have opportunities of obtaining information on vegetable products, and of collecting plants and seeds, which I should be pleased to receive so as to make these Gardens the \"head quarters of investigation, whether scientific or merely utilitarian, into Chinese Vegetation\" as suggested by Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER.\n\n25. As showing the good which Botanic Gardens may do for the different British dependencies as well as for their own respective colonies or countries, I extract the following remarks from Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER's Report for the year 1878 on the Royal Gardens, Kew:-\n\n\"Exchanges and correspondence are constantly maintained between Kew and the numerous Botanic Gardens which exist in British dependencies. This constant intercommunication is, on the one hand, indispensable to the maintenance and perfection of the Kew Collections, on the other hand, it is of great advantage in facilitating the exchange from one garden to another of the vegetable products of different parts of the Empire. I am anxious, however, to see the Botanic Gardens establish to a much greater extent than at present, a chain of independent interchanges, which would increase their own usefulness and enormously facilitate the work which is done at Kew.\n\nHILL, WALTER, Brisbane Botanic Gardens; seven Wardian cases containing plants of Acrostichum, A. alcicorne, Dendrobium Hilli, ferns, palms, and various useful and ornamental plants, and seeds Eucalyptus citriodora, fodder grasses, &c.\n\nHELLAND, ADOLPH, Foochow; bamboos \"mow cluck.\"\n\nHUMPHREYS, J. D.; seeds of trees, shrubs and annuals.\n\nJOHNSON, Capt.; orchids.\n\nKURODA, His Excellency, Japan; Japanese Conifers and Azaleas.\n\nMATSUGATA, His Excellency, Minister of the Interior, Japan; Valuable Japanese plants.\n\nMARIES, CHARLES; collection, Japanese plants and seeds.\n\nMURTON, H. J., Singapore Botanic Gardens; two Wardian cases, Garcinia Hamburyi, Willughbeia martabani, Bulbophyllum Beccarii, and valuable palms, ferns, and other plants and seeds.\n\n\"We have attempted, for example, to send plants to Fiji, but with but little success, on account of the great distance. Any particular plant could, however, be established in Ceylon with moderate difficulty, from thence it would be sent to Singapore and so on to Brisbane and Sydney, and finally to Fiji. At each successive stage, in case of a failure, the difficulty of renewing the attempt would be much smaller than if it were necessary to start afresh from Kew.\n\n\"I am the more led to make these remarks from having had my attention repeatedly drawn by applications made to Kew from residents in the colonies, to the fact that some of the most important functions of a colonial Botanic Garden are often apt to be lost sight of. Such institutions are obviously likely in most cases sooner or later to develop into the pleasure grounds of the towns and cities near which they are situated. But without disparaging their public usefulness in this respect, it is important that their primary function of promoting the botanical interests of their respective colonies should not be forgotten.\n\n\"That there is some risk of this happening, I can only assume from the constant applications made direct to Kew for information, seeds or plants which it is clearly the business of the Botanic Garden of the applicants' colony either to supply or procure.\n\n\"This leads to another point. No colonial garden can discharge its functions efficiently if the superintendent does not occasionally make journeys with a view to discovering new and interesting plants for the purpose of interchange with other Establishments. But the demands made upon his time often prevent the superintendent attending to this part of his duty, which is so important in keeping up an imperial system of exchange, besides promoting the interest of the garden under his charge, and varying the monotony of a life of unintelligent routine.\n\n\"I am afraid that this is sometimes overlooked by the local governments and managers; one superintendent is tied by meteorological observations, another by growing vegetables for sale. In every case where some obstacle of this kind is allowed to override the legitimate freedom of action of the superintendent, I am convinced the interests of his establishment suffer in a variety of ways, and that the policy is a short-sighted one.\"\n\nPOATE, F.

J. Collis Browne, who was a Medical Officer in Her Majesty's Army for many years, and who, whilst with his Regiment in India, invented a preparation which he called \"Chlorodyne\", and which has, during the last 40 years, proved of inestimable benefit if administered to persons suffering from cholera, dysentery, or diarrhœa.\n\nThe medicine has had an enormous sale, and the enclosed extracts from the very many Certificates which I hold will show you that those best competent to form an opinion upon the subject consider the medicine invaluable as a remedy for the complaints to which I have referred.\n\nChlorodyne contains a small portion of morphine, although that drug...\n\nPage 420\n\nPage 421", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 353433, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "page_number": 421, "title": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "content_text": "not by any means the principal ingredient of the preparation. Although I quite see the importance of preventing the indiscriminate use of Morphine, you will observe that the Bill to which I have called attention is so general in its terms that it would prevent persons from using Chlorodyne, or other harmless preparation containing the smallest portion of Morphine. It is with reference to this point that I am now writing.\n\nIt is of the utmost importance that residents in hot climates, such as China, should have at their immediate disposal an effective remedy against Cholera, dysentery, or diarrhoea, as it is often impossible for them to obtain prompt medical advice, even if they desired it. Chlorodyne has become an almost universal remedy in the East for these complaints. Many bottles of it have been exported to the East and, so far as I am aware, in no case has any injury resulted from its use.\n\nIn every guidebook to the East, there is a recommendation to travellers to provide themselves with Chlorodyne for use in case of need, and I can say without hesitation that thousands of lives have been saved by the timely use of my Father's medicine.\n\nIf your Lordship would like further confirmation of the accuracy of my statements upon this point, I should feel greatly obliged if you would make enquiries respecting it of independent persons competent to form an opinion with regard to it.\n\nThe Bill to which I have referred, if passed in its present form, would not only render it impossible for persons to sell the medicine, except under medical prescription, but would subject any person who possessed it to fine and imprisonment for merely having it in their possession for use in case of need. I cannot believe that the framers of the Bill had the desire to cause such a state of things, and I earnestly ask you to prevent an enactment which would be injurious to the large population in the East which at present uses the medicine.\n\nThere would be no difficulty in altering the Bill so as to control the improper injection of Morphia, without subjecting people to fine and imprisonment merely because they took rational and proper precautions to possess a remedy for immediate use in case of a sudden attack.\n\nI have the honor to be Your Lordship's Obedient Servant,\n\nW.

COLLIS BROWNE'S 7549\n\nRe 17 OCT SC)\n\nCHLORODYNE.\n\nTHE\n\nORIGINAL\n\nAND\n\nONLY GENUINE.\n\nCHLORODYNE is a liquid, taken in drops. It invariably relieves pain of whatever kind; creates a calm, refreshing sleep; allays irritation of the nervous system when all other remedies fail; leaving no bad effects like opium or laudanum; and can be taken when no other medicine can be tolerated. Its value in saving life in infancy is not easily estimated—a few drops will subdue the irritation of Teething, prevent and arrest Convulsions, cure Whooping Cough, Spasms, and Flatus at once.\n\nCHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, effectually checks and arrests those too often fatal diseases known as DIPHTHERIA, FEVER, CROUP, AGUE, acts like a charm in DIARRHOEA, and is the only specific in CHOLERA and DYSENTERY, effectually cuts short all attacks of EPILEPSY, HYSTERIA, PALPITATION and SPASMS.\n\nIt is the only palliative in NEURALGIA, RHEUMATISM, Gout, CANCER, TOOTHACHE, MENINGITIS, &c.\n\nThe extensive demand for this remedy, known as Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE, by the Medical Profession, Hospitals, Dispensaries—Civil, Military, and Naval—and Families, especially guarantees that this statement of its extreme importance and value is a bona fide one, and worthy the attention of all.\n\nCAUTION.—Always ask for \"Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,\" and beware of spurious compounds or imitations. Dr. Browne placed the Recipe for making \"Chlorodyne\" in the hands of Mr. Davenport ONLY; consequently, there can be no other Manufacturer. The genuine bears the words \"Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,\" on the Government Stamp of each bottle.\n\nThe following is an extract from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor in the late Chlorodyne Chancery suit—BROWNE & DAVENPORT v. FREEMAN:—Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood states that Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne, that the statements of the defendant Freeman were deliberately untrue, and he regretted to say that they had been sworn to. Eminent hospital Physicians of London stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the discoverer of Chlorodyne; that they prescribed it largely, and mean no other than Dr. Browne's.—See THE TIMES, July 13th, 1864.\n\nSold in Bottles at 1s. 1½d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.

T. Davenport with the following:- Extract of a despatch from Mr. Webb, H.B.M. Consul at Manilla, dated Sept. 17, 1864.\n\n\"The remedy most efficacious in its effects (in Epidemic Cholera) has been found to be CHLORODYNE, and with a small quantity given to me by Dr. Barke I have saved several lives.\"\n\nEarl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians that he had received a despatch from Her Majesty's Consul at Manilla to the effect that Cholera has been raging fearfully, and that the ONLY remedy of any service was CHLORODYNE-See Lancet, Dec. 31, 1864.\n\nExtracts from the GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH, LONDON, as to its efficacy in Cholera.\n\n1st Stage, or Premonitory-In this stage the remedy acts as a charm, one dose generally sufficient. 2nd Stage, or that of Vomiting and Purging-In this stage the remedy possesses great power, more than any other we are acquainted with, two or three doses being sufficient.\n\n3rd Stage, or Collapse.-In all cases restoring the Pulse. So strongly are we convinced of the immense value of this remedy, that we cannot too forcibly urge the necessity of adopting it in all cases.\n\nFrom Dr. THOMAS SANDIFORD, Passage West, Cork.\n\nI will thank you to send me a further supply of Chlorodyne. It is the most efficacious remedy I ever used, affording relief in violent attacks of Spasms within a minute after being taken. One patient in particular, who has suffered for years with periodical attacks of Spasms of a most painful nature, and unable to obtain relief from other remedies, such as opium, &c., finds nothing so prompt and efficacious as Chlorodyne.\n\nFrom W. VESALIUS PETTIGREW, M.D., formerly lecturer at St. George's Hospital, London.\n\nI have no hesitation in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious as an Anti-spasmodic and Sedative. I have used it in Consumption, Asthma, Diarrhea, and other diseases, and am perfectly satisfied with the results.\n\nFrom Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall, Simla-January 5, 1880.\n\nTo J. T. DAVENPORT, Esq., 33, Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London.\n\nDEAR SIR,-Have the goodness to furnish us with your best quotations for Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, as, being large buyers, we would much prefer doing business with you direct than through the wholesale houses. We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be but evanescent. We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramp, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. Choleraic Diarrhea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the part of the chemist to prescriber and patient alike. We are, Sir, faithfully yours,\n\nSYMES & CO.,\n\nMembers of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists.\n\nFrom J. M'GRIGOR CROFT, M.D., M.R.C.P., London, late Staff-Surgeon to H.M. Forces.\n\nNovember 26, 1859,\n\nSir, After prescribing Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne for the last three years, in severe cases of Neuralgia and Tic-Douloureux, I feel that I am in a position to testify to its valuable effects. Really, in some cases it acted as a charm, when all other means had failed. Without being asked for this report, I must come forward and state my candid opinion that it is a most valuable medicine, and I have recommended several chemists in this neighbourhood not to be without it for prescriptions.\n\nFrom Jno. E. GOULSTONE, M.D., late Principal Surgeon to the Steam-Ship Great Eastern.\n\nI can confidently state that Chlorodyne is an admirable Sedative and Anti-spasmodic, having used it in Neuralgia, Hysteria, Asthma, and Consumption, with remarkably favourable results. It relieved a fit of Asthma in four minutes, where the patient had suffered eleven years in a most distressing manner, previous remedy having had so immediate and beneficial an effect.\n\nFrom DR. B. J. BOULTON & Co., Horncastle.\n\nWe have made pretty extensive use of Chlorodyne in our practice lately, and look upon it as an excellent direct Sedative and Anti-spasmodic. It seems to allay pain and irritation in whatever organ, or from whatever cause. It induces a feeling of comfort and quietude not obtainable by any other remedy, and it seems to possess this great advantage over all other Sedatives, that it leaves no unpleasant after effects.\n\nA BILL\n\nENTITLED\n\nAn Ordinance for the regulation of the consumption of Morphine and for the suppression of the pernicious practice of administering or injecting preparations of Morphine by unqualified persons.\n\nWHEREAS it is desirable to regulate the consumption of Morphine in this Colony and to forbid the administration or injection of preparations of Morphine except in cases where such treatment has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner.\n\nBe it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-\n\n1. This Ordinance may be cited as \"The Morphine Ordinance, 1895.\"\n\n2. For the purposes of this Ordinance, Morphine shall include Morphia and every preparation thereof.\n\n3. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, who shall administer by injection or otherwise any Morphine to any other person, except in cases where the same has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.\n\nThe onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person so administering the Morphine.\n\n4. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, who shall, except in cases where Morphine has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, furnish Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other appliance for the injection of Morphine, to any person, except a duly qualified medical practitioner, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.\n\nThe onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person furnishing Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other appliances as aforesaid.\n\n5. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner or a chemist or druggist actually carrying on business as such, who shall have in his possession any Morphine or any preparation of Morphine shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and, in default of payment, to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months. Provided that this section shall not apply to cases where Morphine has been prescribed by a duly qualified medical practitioner.\n\n6.

Les certificats doivent indiquer: (a) l'espèce et la quantité des sucres; (b) l'espèce, le nombre, et les marques des colis; (c) le pays d'origine ou de provenance et le pays de destination de la marchandise; et (d) le mode de transport (chemin de fer, navire, bateau, &c.); ils sont valables pendant un laps de temps à fixer qui les aura délivrés, mais qui ne pourra excéder un an (non compris le temps pendant lequel les sucres auraient séjourné en entrepôt).\n\n§ 20. Lorsque les sucres rentrant dans la catégorie des sucres raffinés proviennent d'une usine établie dans un État non-contractant, le certificat devra attester, en outre, qu'ils sont fabriqués dans une usine ne travaillant pas de sucres originaires d'un État auquel s'applique le droit spécial. A défaut de cette attestation, les sucres seront soumis au droit spécial de 50 fr. les 100 kilog., fixé au premier alinéa du § 17.\n\nOn ne perdra pas de vue que l'introduction dans le pays des produits suivants, assimilés aux sucres raffinés, mais non dénommés au § 16, n'est pas subordonné à la production d'un certificat d'origine, savoir: les jus et sucres de cocotier, de palmier, de guimauve, et autres analogues, les glucoses, la laitose ou lactine (sucre de lait), la maltose, et les sirops de toute espèce autres que ceux provenant du raffinage du sucre.\n\n§ 21. Le certificat perdra sa valeur si, en cours de transport, la marchandise a été transbordée dans un Etat qui donne des primes (voir § 15). Il pourra, toutefois, être accordé des exceptions en cas de force majeure ou lorsqu'il s'agira de sucres provenant d'États contractants (Allemagne, Autriche-Hongrie, Belgique, France, Grande-Bretagne, Italie, Pays-Bas, et Suède), qui transitent par un ou plusieurs de ces mêmes États dans des conditions garantissant leur identité.\n\n§ 22. Si l'importateur ne consent pas à payer des différentes taxes spécifiées aux §§ 15 et 17, les sucres devront être immédiatement réexportés sous régime de transit.\n\n§ 23. Les sucres expédiés en transit sous la surveillance non interrompue de la douane, soit directement, soit avec transbordement ou avec emmagasinage dans un entrepôt public du royaume, ne doivent pas être accompagnés d'un certificat d'origine.\n\nIl va de soi qu'il ne pourra être renoncé au transit ou l'entreposage de ces sucres pour la consommation que moyennant la production du certificat d'origine indépendamment du paiement des droits d'entrée, de la surtaxe et du droit spécial éventuel.

To make a boundary criss-cross across such a country would be a work of the utmost difficulty, even if we had not to expect Chinese obstruction and Kachin opposition.\n\nBut if the Chinese would consent to the principle of the watershed frontier, a small party, consisting, say, of a British survey officer and two or three picked assistants, a political officer able to speak Kachin, and the Teng Yueh Consul, with an escort of not more than half-a-dozen Ghurkas, could proceed from the Chinese side, where supplies and communications present no difficulties, to get a complete topographical survey of the country near the watershed. The Taotai would send a deputy to give any necessary assistance, and postulating the goodwill—or, at least, neutrality—of the Chinese officials, I do not think, judging from my own experience, that such a party would run any very serious risk—at any rate on the higher slopes near the water-divide; on their report it would be possible to judge accurately of the real weight of the Chinese claims, and if they had any weight, the best means of dealing with them, ... by a money settlement or by territorial concession on the N'maikha side.\n\nFailing this, there would appear to be no course for the Government of Burmah to adopt except to insist on the watershed, and as soon as possible make the position good by administering up to the Ngaw Chang. The worst course of all, I am persuaded, would be a Boundary Commission on the lines of the former Commissions.\n\nI may add that I got some details regarding the proceedings of the two cadets from the military college at Yunnan Fu who were sent down by the Yunnan Viceroy last year to inspect the frontier. They had no plane tables or instruments of any kind except a telescope. They went to Kao Liang, Manung Pum, and up to Pan Wa at the head of the Tien Tang Valley, and there their explorations ended; they stayed for some time at the house of Headman Yang, of Lower Ming Kwang, but did not go to the head of the valley.

But, in the meantime, I am to say that the only provision which appears to Mr. Brodrick, as at present advised, to demand the attention of His Majesty's Government is that relating to the construction of branch lines by the French, which might conceivably be so used as to include lines in the neighbourhood of the Burma frontier, where the prior right of British enterprise should be secured.\n\nAs regards the telegram of the 1st July from His Majesty's Minister at Peking, inclosed with Mr. Campbell's letter of the 4th July, I am directed to state that Mr. Brodrick agrees that it would be premature to apply to the Chinese Government for a concession of a railway from Burma to Tali and Yunnan City, and thence to Szechuen. But should it appear that the French have any intention of asking for concessions for these lines, he thinks that the Chinese Government should be reminded of the rights we possess (under the Agreement with France of the 15th January, 1896) to equality of treatment with the French in the matter of railway construction in Yunnan and Szechuen, which rights, so far as Yunnan is concerned, were recognized in Prince Ching's note of the 16th March, 1902, inclosed with Sir E.

Collis\n\nI do not see that the 1903 dictum need to be regarded as binding on Hong Kong any more than the work deserves appreciation. It cannot be put forward because the lower Class officers are not in the same category.\n\nIt is no doubt a good general principle that similar work should be rewarded by similar pay, but the application is not quite suitable in the Cadet Service where there is a Cadet class considered. The existence of a Cadet service, which is the core of the matter, makes it necessary to provide officers who enter the service with a graduated scale of pay. You take on the left-hand pain class, which is paid less than the higher Class.\n\nThe necessity of providing a suitable scale of pay for Cadets may result in the lower Class being paid more in the same particular appointment. There is a favor class to put it in, but those outside the classification should also be overpaid. I do not assert that Cadet pay is much too low, but it is quite possible that in Hong Kong the real difficulty was not that the pay was insufficient but that they had been reduced. It is also quite possible that the question is a matter of fact.\n\nIn the opinion of the writer, the officer is insufficiently paid for the work he does. The ground for raising his pay is that the most competent are doing this kind of duty. However, I do not think there is any ground for giving this allowance merely because he has got it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-398 - Individuals - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 441764, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-398 - Individuals - 1912", "page_number": 213, "title": "CO129-398 - Individuals - 1912", "content_text": "## yard 47\nDate: 19 Sept 1912\n\nLast previous Paper: HONG KONG 28708\n\n0. 8703 (REGE 10 SEP 12, University of Hong Kong 205 furnishes further particulars 28682. just received.

In the event of his not being accepted, they would recommend Dr. King.\n\nParticulars regarding Dr. Palmer are annexed.\n\nT.C.M. 28/8/14 to Palmer Aug 29 8.14 Mr. Harcourt.\n\nTo proceed.

Le Fanu's minute of 2 March last (120 on file). A man is physically fit for W.A. is soul fit. Sys will be shorter & simpler if the G. Gov takes his passage, straight through C.A. If his wife goes with him, I suggest she has a free passage as well. His young child would not go there.\n\nThere will be about 14 days (about — at any rate we can call it that) of sacrifice due to Dr. Palmer; and he will probably arrive in the G. Coast about 25 August.\n\nIf sailing deferred until about 25 October, he will be entitled to 10 days full pay in addition. I do not think he should have full pay for the voyage as well. 10 days will (out) spending four days at most in this country have without pay.\n\nPage 240\n\nPage 241", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-411 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 448023, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-411 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [5-7]", "page_number": 241, "title": "CO129-411 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [5-7]", "content_text": "y Collis\n\nan Ill 740 W. theca\n\nM\n\n5 Palmer Las delivered the app\n\n- Offer 12 Kup\n\nA2bporne\n\nPatr.

In Ceylon both the eating and smoking of opium are practised, though eating is much more prevalent than smoking. Smoking is on a small scale and is only permitted to registered persons, and it appears that no new persons are admitted to the register except in special circumstances. It is possible that smoking might now be definitely prohibited, subject to a saving under strict conditions for existing smokers. In the case of North Borneo it will be less easy to get an unbiased inquiry in view of the interest the Chartered Company have in the revenue, but, at any rate, it seems desirable to ask them for their observations on the British proposals.\n\nWhat do you say?\n\nYours sincerely,\nMalcolm Delevigne\n\nCasting 2.0.\n\n... pending approval of our draft amendments but for the ... albeit fake ...\n\nJ.J.

THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe annual meeting of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon at the City Hall was notable for a magnificent speech by H.E. the Governor.\n\nNow as always, declared His Excellency, British policy in China aims wholly and solely at security, freedom and equal opportunity for British trade. Great Britain has no territorial ambitions whatsoever in China, and it is amazing that the \"Nationalists\" should denounce Great Britain as \"the enemy\" and clasp to their hearts the Russian Bolshevists, who appear to be pursuing the old Czarist policy of Slavonic aggrandisement in the Far East.\n\n\"We are quite determined,\" said His Excellency, \"to have no Bolshevism in this Colony. Nor shall we permit our coastwise shipping to be preyed upon with impunity by organised piracy.\" The so-called economic weapon Sir Cecil Clementi described as the \"Bolshevist Bludgeon,\" or rather the \"Bolshevist Boomerang,\" because it would most certainly curl back and deliver its shrewdest blow at those who endeavoured to wield it.\n\nThe Governor urged the Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong to see that to combat lying propaganda, the truth is widely told all over China, for the victory of truth is the best means of meeting the Bolshevist menace. After referring to present indications that the Chinese Nationalist Party is at last struggling to rid itself of the taint of Bolshevism, H.E. the Governor expressed the hope that the traditional friendly relations between Hong Kong and neighbouring Provinces in China were about to be renewed. He had complete faith in the future, and believed that, when the present \"spasm of madness\" was spent, Great Britain and Hong Kong would be recognized throughout the Eighteen Provinces as the best friends of the Chinese people.\n\nThe address was received with great enthusiasm.\n\nThe meeting was presided over by the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard (Chairman of the Chamber), and with him were H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.), and the following members of the General Committee: The Hon. Mr. A. C. Hynes, Messrs. W. H. Bell, Paul Lauder, F. A. Perry, J. A. Plummer, T. G. Weall, L. J. Davies, Capt. R. H. Campbell, M.C., and Lieut-Commander L. J.

On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

Cleisostoma virginale, Hance.\n\nThis is the plant I alluded to in the Supplement to the Hong Kong Flora, without having examined the flowers (of which there are but two remaining on my original specimen), as an undetermined species of Appendicula. For the living plant from which I have drawn up the above character I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. Charles Ford, Superintendent of the Government Gardens, Hong Kong, by one of whose collectors it was brought in. From the more typical species it differs by the usually conspicuous fleshy protuberance closing the mouth of the spur being replaced by a delicate transverse membrane drawn across the entire width, somewhat within the orifice; but it appears in all essential respects a true member of the genus to which I refer it. It is an inconspicuous but rather pretty little plant, perhaps most nearly allied to the very imperfectly described C. bicolor, Lindl. from the Philippines.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nOrchidaceae of Hong Kong\n\n181\n\nOur notes on this species are as follows, inflorescence typically 3-branched, longest branch with 40-50 flowers, about 100-120 flowers on a whole inflorescence; pollen masses one common stalk, total length 1/10 inch.\n\nCOLOUR OF FLOWERS :- Upper sepal green marked with purple, lateral sepals green marked with purple on upper half only; lateral petals pale green slightly spotted with purple; labellum white marked with bright violet purple. On ageing sepals and petals assume a yellowish tinge.\n\nDISTRIBUTION: Only found by us in a ravine behind Repulse Bay, in Happy Valley and on Brick Hill, Mount Cameron, and near Tai Tam Tuk, all on Hong Kong island.\n\nFLOWERING SEASON: Mid July to end of August.\n\nILLUSTRATIONS: Figure 8 is of a whole plant and shows habit and method of bearing inflorescence and its form; figure 9 is of a leaf and a flower viewed from the side and the end, and a half flower showing the callus, pollinia, etc.\n\nTAINIA, Blume.\n\n\"Terrestrial herbs, with a creeping rootstock, bearing a one-leaved tuberous pseudobulb; leaves solitary, long-petioled, coriaceous; peduncle from the base of the pseudobulb, tall, slender, with few sheaths; flowers racemed; sepals narrow, spreading, lateral falcate, adnate to the saccate base of the lip, and forming a mentum with it; petals linear, falcate, spreading; lip adnate to the foot of the column, 3-lobed, disk lamellate; column slender, incurved, base produced into a short foot; anther 2-celled, crowned with 2 short horns or tubercles, pollinia 8, waxy, united in fours by a granular viscus, subequal, globosely pyriform.\" (8) p. 169.\n\nDISTRIBUTION: About 20 species in eastern Asia; some are cultivated for ornamental purposes.\n\nTAINIA HONGKONGENSIS, Rolfe.\n\nThis species has been described by Bentham as Ania angustifolia, Lindl.; Rolfe's description we have been unable to find so quote Bentham's here.\n\n\"Leaves oblong-lanceolate, 6 to 10 in. long, 1/2 to 1 1/2 in. broad, narrowed into a long petiole, proceeding from an ovoid false-bulb. Scape 1 1/2 ft. long or more. Flowers distant. Bracts narrow, very pointed. Sepals and petals full lines long, lanceolate, with short fine points.

The inflorescence is borne at the side of the bulb; it is from one to two feet in length, the last 6-12 inches bearing 6-12 flowers, distant from each other. The flowers are 1/2-2 inches in diameter; the perianth segments are green closely striped and speckled with red, giving a general brown appearance. The lip is cream or white tinged with yellowish green. Sometimes the flowers are uniform yellowish green with no lines or markings of any other colour.

HANCOCK AGAIN PRESIDENT \n\n#### Annual Meeting Of Hong Kong Cricket Club \n\nProposed by Mr. T. E. Pearce and seconded by Mr. H. Owen-Hughes, Mr. H. R. B. Hancock was unanimously re-elected President of the Hong Kong Cricket Club at the Annual General Meeting held in the Clubhouse last evening.\n\nThe Committee, comprising, in addition to the President, Messrs. P. M. Hodgson, A. W. Hayward, A. C. I. Bowker, T. E. Pearce, J. R. Collis, V. R. Gordon, H. Owen-Hughes, E. J. R. Mitchell, and G. W. Sewell, were also re-elected en bloc.\n\nMessrs. Linstead and Davis are again to be the Club's auditors at an annual fee of $100.\n\nIn his speech, the Chairman (Mr. H. R. B. Hancock) said:-\n\nGentlemen:- From the accounts before you, you will see that our Profit and Loss account, after allowing for the necessary depreciation, shows a loss of $4,206.30, though actually the loss for the year was $791.44, as there was a small profit last year of $423.01. There was a loss in our working account of $148.56, against a profit last year of $1,229.07, accounted for by a reduction in income of $1,113.71, and an increase in expenditure of $304.43. Subscriptions were down by $561.71. On the debit side, there was a decrease under the heading of Squash Court Expenses of $841.05, and an increase in re-turfing of $705.03. There is not much change in the other items. I regret to see subscriptions down so much. Lately, however, the number of new members has been encouraging.\n\nTurning to the Profit and Loss account, you will notice that our depreciation written off amounts to $3,414.86, as against $3,574.32 last year. Turning to the Balance Sheet, overdue accounts amount to $1,903.28. We have since collected $1,503.25, and the balance is good, whilst against August chits of $2,893.95, since the account was made up, $2,483.67 has been collected, and the remainder is in course of collection.\n\n### CLUB'S FINANCES \n\nThe question of the Club's Finances has for some time past been receiving the earnest attention of your Committee, and your Committee, whilst the position on the whole shows no cause for alarm, has been seeking ways and means whereby we can improve matters and bring the Club back to a paying basis again, which we must do. You may remember I have alluded to this matter for the past two years. The price of drinks, which were far too low, have been put up, and even now are cheaper than at most Clubs, and after considerable thought, your Committee has decided that the Subscription must be raised.\n\nThe proposal, therefore, is to raise this $1.00 per month for playing members and subscribers and to leave the non-playing members as at present, $100.00 per annum. This means that from January 1st next, the subscription for all playing members, including subscribers, will be $3.00 per month, or $36.00 per annum, instead of at present $2.00 per month, with a maximum of $24.00 per annum, and the subscription will be collected monthly, instead of half-yearly as at present, which I am sure members will prefer.\n\n### SPORTS ACTIVITIES \n\nWe had a moderately successful Cricket season, and I am hoping that this year, with the addition of new recruits, we shall have a very successful year. We shall run two teams as usual, and I would appeal to the younger members of the Club to give the Captains of the two sides their keen support.\n\nThe Entries for the Annual Lawn Tennis Tournament were well in advance of the previous year, but I am sorry to say the gate receipts showed a sad falling off, due in some measure to the fact that there were no new outstanding players, and to the absence of our ex-Champion Tsui Wai-pui, also I think in some degree to a too high charge for admission to the stand. The Tennis Sub-Committee have this latter matter in hand, and I think a satisfactory scheme will be formulated before the next tournament takes place. I should like to take this opportunity of congratulating Tsui on representing Hong Kong in the Davis Cup matches in England this year. We have rather a particular interest in him, as his father was for many years a very loyal and valued servant of this Club. We have a new Champion of the Colony, Mr. H. D. Rumjahn, and the Rumjahn cousins once again won the doubles championship of the Colony.\n\n### CRICKET INTERPORT \n\nWe sent a Cricket side to Shanghai last October and lost the match by 217 runs. It was, however, a good game, and much better than the actual result would lead one to believe. Our team thoroughly enjoyed their visit, and our best thanks are due to our friends in the North for the wonderful kindness and hospitality extended to them during their stay in Shanghai.\n\nWe were greatly looking forward to a visit from Shanghai next month, but owing to the unfortunate state of affairs there, it is of course impossible for them to come down. Our sincere sympathy goes out to them in the harrowing experiences they are undergoing, and we can only hope that peace will reign again in the not very distant future.\n\nThere is only one more matter I want to refer to, and that is to thank our Honorary Secretary, Mr. Mackenzie, for all his hard work on the Club's behalf during the past year. I am quite sure all members are deeply sensible of the good work he has done for us, and we are very grateful to him.\n\nMr. Hancock then proposed the adoption of the Report and Accounts. This was seconded by Mr. P. E. Baskett and passed unanimously.\n\nImmediately after the Annual Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting was held, at which the proposal for raising the subscription, referred to by the Chairman in his speech, was put to the members present. Proposed by Mr. Hancock and seconded by the Hon. Mr. R. M. Henderson, the motion was carried.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n### H.K. REFEREES ASSOCIATION \n\n#### Half Monthly Meeting \n\nA half-monthly referees' meeting of the Hong Kong Football Association was held at the Gloucester Building last night.\n\nA letter from the Association informing that there would be no reduction in fees was read, after which a general discussion took place.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n### CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n## 623 \n\n### ITALY AND JAPAN: Clearing Up A Few Points \n\n(To The Editor, \"The Hong Kong Daily Press\")\n\nDear Sir,- News which has appeared lately in the Press and the prominent display given to them in local papers tend to give the impression that Italy is definitely helping Japan, in spite of the official denials given by the Government of Rome, which are always printed in very small types and hidden away in the midst of a multitude of other news.\n\nAs a Chinese, ready to die for my country and its noble cause, but being also a lover of justice, I would like some space in your paper in order to state a few facts which of themselves are refutation of these tendentious news.\n\n(1) On the last celebration of the Double Tenth, the Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek awarded medals and decorations to seven Italians in Nanking. \n(2) Dr. H. H. Kung on his return trip from Europe travelled on the Italian liner Victoria. \n(3) I learn from an official source in H.K. that an Italian bomber of the latest type will soon be delivered to Canton by two Italian aviators. \n(4) The story of Italian aviators in Japanese airplanes at Canton has been discounted as ridiculous even by the conscientious Chinese Press. \n(5) Dr. H. H. Kung, in an interview with a representative of the Central News Agency on Oct. 20th, extended his thanks to Italy as well as to other nations for assistance rendered to China. \n(6) It has been officially denied that Italy intends to withdraw its advisers and aeronautical experts. Over 100 Italian officers are at present in Nanchang building airplanes for the Chinese air-force. I need not point out how all Japanese reports of presumed help given to Japan have, without exception, been officially denied by Rome. Even the latest news from Japanese sources, of course, that Italy will support Japan at the Nine-Power Conference is obviously ridiculous when one reflects that Italy has not yet signified her intention of participating at the conference.\n\nProbably Italy might refuse to apply sanctions against Japan, who supported her in the Abyssinian war, but this would still be far from offering military aid to Japan, as the posters of local newspapers loudly proclaimed a few weeks ago. The sympathy of the Italian people and of all the Italians in China is unquestionably for China, and these malicious news tending to alienate the old ties of friendship between the two nations should always be read with a grain of common sense by those Chinese and foreigners who, loving their country, love also justice and truth.\n\nYours, etc., \nLEI CHONG PING. \nHong Kong, October 21, 1937.\n\n### LEPER MISSION HEAD En Route To Manila \n\nDR. C. L. WONG ENTERTAINED \n\nDr. C. L. Wong, medical superintendent of the National Leprosarium at Shanghai, which is operated by the Chinese Mission to Lepers, was a through passenger for Manila by the liner \"Victoria,\" which left for that port on Saturday night.\n\nDr. Wong was entertained by Mr. Li Chor-chi, the chairman of the local auxiliary of the Mission to Lepers, at the St. Francis Hotel last Friday evening. Those present included Mr. William Yinson Lee, former president and now a member of the board of directors of the Mission, Dr. Sargent of the Kwangchi Hospital, Hangchow, Mrs. Wing-chan, treasurer of the local auxiliary, and others.\n\nThe National Leprosarium at Tszang was undamaged up to three weeks ago, according to Dr. Wong, but as some of the fiercest fighting has been going on in that sector, there is little hope of saving this $120,000 institution. Half of the 100 inmates have been transferred to a building administered by the Chung Shan Memorial Hospital in Shanghai, while others have been sent to various leprosaria.\n\nDr. Wong will spend six months in the Philippines, principally at Cullon, Cebu, and Manila, where he will investigate the latest methods in the treatment of leprosy upon a fellowship granted by the American Leprosy Foundation, of which Mr. Percy Burgess, who is now en route to the Colony from the United States, is president.\n\nDr. Wong said that a number of lepers have been cured of the disease by injections of chaulmoogra oil distributed to hospitals by the Chinese Mission to Lepers.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-17 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping.

This is to my mind not only expressive of the Japanese sense of proportion but his innate nature.\n\n## AN UNFORTUNATE ADVENTURE\n\nThe famous Burma Road is not without its dangers, especially with reckless drivers. My experience commenced when I left Kweiyang for Chungking. Just before the well-known 72 curves, an over-loaded N.R.C. truck, with its paraphernalia of wolfram sacks, mercury bottles and passengers, was trailing behind another truck which found itself stopping half-way up a steep slope. Our driver put on the brakes, but with no success. The truck slipped backwards and crashed on to a rock. Nothing serious happened on this occasion, but this was the prelude to the main disaster and illustrates the dangerous situation we were constantly in. Miraculously, the truck managed the 72 curves safely. But, while coming down a small hill about two kilometres from Chuchiang, the left brake failed; the driver lost his presence of mind and headed the truck straight for a rock, then jammed on the brakes. The truck was completely overturned, two men killed instantaneously, two sustained serious injuries, one miraculously escaped and, for myself, I am at present recuperating from a compound Colles' Fracture and a dislocated elbow.\n\n## THREE VOLUNTEERS ESCAPE\n\nI cannot vouchsafe that our escape from the Japanese internment camp at Sham-shui-po was anything dramatic, but it was nevertheless quite a thrilling adventure for us. Undoubtedly it was an enterprise worth undertaking, however great the risk, and it was prompted not by a desire to escape from a life of rice and beans, for \"man does not live by bread alone\", but by a rebellious hatred of our captors and all that they stood for.\n\nThe camp borders the sea and the old wooden jetty was a favourite rendezvous of soldier, sailor, regular and volunteer alike. Everyone was a philosopher resigned to his fate. You could see a Canadian fishing with a common hook and line, a weather-beaten old sailor watching the ships not far off, a Royal Scot snoring in an afternoon siesta and a Middlesex corporal reading Shakespeare. I was thinking of Masefield's \"Call of the Sea\" one day, when I met a sergeant of the Royal Grenadiers, a short and stout young man, who looked typically a soldier and a Scot. A tete-a-tete ensued, in the course of which he asked me why I had not thought of \"making a break\". I was planning, I told him, but the time was still inopportune. \"Oh,\" he said, \"it is easy,\" and he divulged to me what was supposed to be a secret.\n\nIn the small hours, every morning, a boatman used to bring quantities of food-stuffs to the side of the jetty to sell to those internees who could still afford to buy. Sugar, sardines, pork and beans - these were sold like hot-cakes at colossal prices. This petty business done in the dark must have brought the fisherman a fortune. Surely a bargain could be struck with the man. It was a happy piece of news and it greatly revived the spirit that was slowly being sapped within me.\n\nI was at the jetty the next morning with two friends. We were there only to watch, not to act. We saw a lot. We saw officers and privates lined up in two queues down the gangway, waiting for the boat to arrive. It was pitch dark, and one and all were mute and quiet. No one desired to wake up the Japanese sentry! We had not long to wait. The boat drew near, quietly, very quietly indeed, and stopped next to the jetty. It was an ordinary fisherman's boat, such as one sees along the coast of China. Business soon began, with a Volunteer named \"Charlie\" acting as the middleman. Everything had to be transacted promptly and fast - 5 for a tiny packet of sugar, 10 for a tin of sardines, and so forth.\n\nIt was \"Charlie\" who bargained with the boatman for us the next day, and the two friends and I were carried to the boat by friendly hands. There were more than a hundred of them that morning and they were glad to see us making a bid for freedom. In their heart of hearts, they wished they could join us, and they raised a soft cheer for us as the boat moved away. We did not expect such a send-off and we felt it augured well for the voyage.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-588-9 Hong Kong University- relief work 11-8-1942 - 19-11-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 589212, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-608-7 Future policy- Report on Port Administration by Sir David Owen 24-2-1941 - 24-2-1941", "page_number": 136, "title": "CO129-608-7 Future policy- Report on Port Administration by Sir David Owen 24-2-1941 - 24-2-1941", "content_text": "Mr. H.

I would however at this time thank the Chairman for the opportunity of expressing my views on the question of port administration on behalf of my Principals.\n\n\"I have given very careful consideration to the report of the late Sir David Owen and note the terms of reference of your Committee.\n\n\"My chief, Mr. A. H. Penn, who is at present absent from the Colony, was privileged to express his view on this matter during the stay of the late Sir David Owen in the Colony and I feel I am only confirming his views when I say that generally speaking I do not favour the introduction of a Port Trust in Hong Kong. The formation of such a body, would in my opinion involve enormous overhead which would result in heavy increase in cargo handling charges at this port. This has proved to be the case in Singapore where charges are far in excess of those ruling in Hong Kong.\n\n\"I consider the best interests of the merchant and shipowner and in turn the general public would be served by continuing to allow commercial interests to control the wharves, berthing facilities and godowns, particularly in view of their past excellent record of efficiency and cheapness.\n\n\"I appreciate that there are many aspects of this problem apart from the mere handling of commodities. In the past Harbour Department have administered the Harbour in a satisfactory manner and I consider that the affairs of the Harbour could continue to be left safely in the hands of the Harbour Master. Likewise I am of the opinion that Ferry Wharves and port development generally could still come under the care of the Public Works Department.\n\n\"Since the cessation of hostilities the Port Executive Committee has come into being which I feel is serving a very useful purpose.

R. Collis, The Bank Line (China) Ltd.\n\nDated: 11th October, 1946.\n\n\"I have to acknowledge receipt of communication dated 23rd September addressed to me by the Chairman of the Port Administration Inquiry Committee and at the outset must apologise, that owing to pressure of other business I have not replied earlier. I would however at this time thank the Chairman for the opportunity of expressing my views on the question of port administration on behalf of my Principals.\n\n\"I have given very careful consideration to the report of the late Sir David Owen and note the terms of reference of your Committee.\n\n\"My chief, Mr. A. H. Penn, who is at present absent from the Colony, was privileged to express his view on this matter during the stay of the late Sir David Owen in the Colony and I feel I am only confirming his views when I say that generally speaking I do not favour the introduction of a Port Trust in Hong Kong. The formation of such a body would, in my opinion, involve enormous overhead which would result in heavy increase in cargo handling charges at this port. This has proved to be the case in Singapore where charges are far in excess of those ruling in Hong Kong.\n\n\"I consider the best interests of the merchant and shipowner and in turn the general public would be served by continuing to allow commercial interests to control the wharves, berthing facilities and godowns, particularly in view of their past excellent record of efficiency and cheapness.\n\n\"I appreciate that there are many aspects of this problem apart from the mere handling of commodities. In the past Harbour Department have administered the Harbour in a satisfactory manner and I consider that the affairs of the Harbour could continue to be left safely in the hands of the Harbour Master. Likewise, I am of the opinion that Ferry Wharves and port development generally could still come under the care of the Public Works Department.\n\n\"Since the cessation of hostilities the Port Executive Committee has come into being which I feel is serving a very useful purpose. Perhaps the scope of this Committee could be broadened so as to become a link between Government and private interests to the betterment of Harbour administration generally.\"\n\n73", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-618-7 Port Adminstation Inquiry Committee- report and minutes of meetings 1-1-1945 - 31-12-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 594810, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-618-7 Port Adminstation Inquiry Committee- report and minutes of meetings 1-1-1945 - 31-12-1946", "page_number": 80, "title": "CO129-618-7 Port Adminstation Inquiry Committee- report and minutes of meetings 1-1-1945 - 31-12-1946", "content_text": "# APPENDIX III\n## REPORT OF THE PORT ADMINISTRATION INQUIRY COMMITTEE\n\nList of Representations received in response to individual invitations addressed by the Chairman on 23rd September, 1946, to the persons and concerns listed in Appendix II,\n\n| Name and Concern | \n|---|\n| Mr. J.
