The text includes various sections such as government notifications, news, births, marriages, deaths, and reports on typhoons and their aftermath.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we need to correct obvious spelling errors, remove extra spaces, and fix hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"calancity\" should be \"calamity\", \"savo 'ticias\" should be \"said Ticias\", and \"prusion pond\" should be \"prisoner or provision pond\" but based on context, it seems \"prision\" is likely meant to be \"provision\".\n\n## Step 4\nRejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary is also crucial. For instance, sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nThe text contains sections that need to be formatted into Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold types, and tables need to be formatted accordingly. For example, main titles should be preceded by \"#\", sections by \"##\", and bold text should be surrounded by \"**\".\n\n## Step 6\nFile references should not have any spacing inside parentheses, e.g., \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\". Page numbering lines, if detected, should be kept as they are, usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end.\n\n## Step 7\nNewspaper texts might not make sense due to OCR errors in recognizing columns. Reorganizing them like a puzzle might be necessary to restore the original meaning.\n\n## Step 8\nData in tables should be properly organized to reconstruct the table format.\n\n## Step 9\nSome Chinese writing might start from right to left, and if such reversal is observed, the text should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 10\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAge\n\nherself and infant daughter, were\n\ncalamity Entirely\n\ncut off.\n\nThat the said \"Ticias smithers the month of January\n\nhundred and forty a proportion\n\nlowa\n\ndy creating\n\n\"\n\nby this\n\nfree\n\nof his to a\n\nprovision pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases.\n\nof his saying disabled (your) believes that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during\n\nthe remainder of his life.\n\n\"That it has\n\nbeen\n\na\n\npetitione.\n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration\n\nand render assistance to the survivors of\n\npersons killed in their device and a lit...\n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

I apprehend that however obsolete it is still more rare in these days that the question of Libel or no Libel should be decided by a Judge or by a Jury.\n\nInstead, I have arrived, in which that form is abandoned in amation. In several respects and in particular addressing myself to what has been called the sting of the Libel, there is not a word which could convey to the mind of anyone a notion that any portion of the £2,000 alleged to have found its way to Lisbon had reached the hands of Senhor Ameral as a bribe or money gift to him. The tenor of the whole is indeed that his gratitude towards, his zeal for, his constituents, not any money bribe, had incited him, and that that money was used, not to stimulate his zeal, but to further and aid his efforts as well. Money is used, it may be lawfully, it may be illegally, to carry elections or political measures or railway or canal undertakings in England.\n\nAgain, at the end of the alleged Libel, in what is called the second count, occurs this innuendo (\"meaning as before alleged of and concerning the Bull. and Leake 2 edit. of 1862 is not still false malicious and defamatory libel firstly hereinbefore set forth\"), words which import all the innuendoes or it may be only the last. Mr. Bayllar, for the Defendant, ridiculed the dissection of his plea by Mr. Pollard and submitted that taken as a whole it was a full answer to the information, which he contended consisted in form and in substance of one count only.\n\nBut he was less careful to sustain his own plea than to attack the information, which he insisted was bad, for that, taken by themselves, the two articles were simply fair comment on the public conduct of public men in reference to matters of the greatest public interest, and still more by reason that the meaning put on the libel by the innuendoes was such as the language would not and could not bear, and consequently that I must decide against it.\n\nI must say, I strongly incline to think that both counts of the information (if indeed they are so framed as to be two counts, as to which I give no opinion) are bad, and the Attorney General is bound by the meaning he puts on the alleged libel by the innuendoes now; to use the words of the Chief Justice Tindal, it is a clear rule of law that an innuendo cannot introduce a meaning broader than that which the words naturally bear, unless connected with proper introductory averments.\n\nThe well-known case of Rex v. Haurkey, 8 East 427, is the best illustration of this rule. Alexander v. Angle in Error 1, Crompton & Jervis 143 and see 5 East 467-469. I incline to think that the innuendocs here do throughout introduce meanings broader than the words bear.\n\nIt is unnecessary for me to consider whether any averments could have cured this defect.\n\nIt seems to me that the parties have been perplexed by rules of pleading, the Acting Attorney General in reference to his innuendoes and the Defendant as to the particularity of his plea, and especially by Bremridge v. Latimer and days have been wasted in argument when any common sense procedure could and would have easily defined—nobody doubted the real issue between the parties with certainty and precision.\n\nThe English pleading procedure has been abandoned everywhere under British Rule in Asia except in this Colony. In India, another system prevails, and for the Consular Courts of China and Japan, the Foreign Office has wisely prescribed a system of admirable rules as to procedure which simplifies the preliminary process.\n\nIt seems to me that the words of the alleged libel are incapable of the meaning ascribed to them in the innuendoes in the information.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 282006, "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": "CO129-145 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [6-9]", "page_number": 133, "title": "CO129-145 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [6-9]", "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n## HONGKONG, JULY 6TH, 1870.\n\n### MASSACRE OF THE FRENCH CONSUL AND OTHER EUROPEANS AT TIENTSIN.\n\nThe following was issued in the form of an \"Extra,\" yesterday morning :\n\nThe steamer Nile from Shanghai arrived last night, and was to start this morning, having left that port on the morning of the 28th ultimo. Captain Wright, who at considerable trouble consented to bring the despatches down, has courteously handed us the Shanghai Courier of the 27th ultimo, which contains the following startling intelligence :~ \n\nVery serious news has reached us to-day by the Dragon. The Chinese have risen against the French. An official dispatch, the very brevity of which is a significant commentary on its contents, says that the French Consulate, the residence of the Sisters of Mercy, and the French Cathedral were burning at the time the dispatch was being written. The French Consul, (Mons. Fontanier), all the Sisters of Mercy and several other Frenchmen (Missionaries), had been murdered. The steamers Appin and Manchu were detained (well armed) to afford some protection to foreigners. Mr. Lay, H.B.M.'s Vice-Consul, was collecting all the foreigners together. \n\nIn addition to the above official information, there is a rumor that Count Rochechonart, the French Minister, and some Russians had been killed at Pekin.\n\nImmediately on the receipt of this news H.M.S. Dwarf got up steam, and Mr. Medhurst, H.B.M.'s Consul, considerately issued a circular giving those who have connections in the North an opportunity of writing by her. She left at 4 p.m. Meanwhile some degree of protection would have been afforded to the foreigners of Tientsin by H.M.S. gunboat Opossum, which started for Tientsin immediately after the Dragon arrived at Chefoo on the night of the 23rd inst. The French Gunboat Flamme leaves to-morrow morning and Messrs. Russell & Co. have placed the S.S.N.S. Shantung at the disposal of the French authorities as a transport. In view of the departure of the Dwarf, leaving the Foreign Community here without British protection, Sir Ed. Hornby, as the last commandant of the Shanghai Volunteers, has issued a circular calling on all resident members of the corps to hold themselves in readiness should their services be required. Meanwhile we have the protection of the French Gunboats Aspic and Scorpion, and the Zebra has been sent for from Nagasaki. No explanation is given of the cause or origin of these dreadful occurrences.\n\nThe steamship Nile leaves at daylight with a full cargo, including 119 bales of Silk. She goes direct to Suez, calling only at Hongkong to deliver Government despatches relating to the news of the massacre at Tientsin.\n\nCapt. Wright also reports that the greatest excitement prevails at Shanghai, in consequence of this news. There was a further rumor that the whole of the foreign Legation buildings at Pekin were in flames. The news arrived at Shanghai at 2 p.m. on the 27th instant, when the Nile was clearing for sea, and Captain Wright immediately proffered his services to the English and French Consuls to bring down the intelligence to the Senior Officer on this station. He had previously no intention of calling at Hongkong, as he was bound home with a full cargo, a large portion of which was engaged at the high freight of £6, on condition of his making the voyage in 60 days, and for the remainder he was under guarantee not to call anywhere until he reached the Red Sea. This guarantee was waived, however, in consideration of the urgency of the case, but the Nile is still to arrive in 60 days from Shanghai or to lose £1 of her freight. Under these circumstances Capt. Wright's offer to bring down the news must be thoroughly appreciated, utterly disinterested as it is, and proceeding from motives of pure courtesy and humanity. The offer was duly appreciated by the French Consul, who was politeness itself, and full of acknowledgments of Captain Wright's courtesy. The English Consul, on the other hand, was pleased to communicate with the captain through a subordinate, who was good enough to take off three from the list of four distressed seamen going home by the Nile, in consideration of the proffered service. It was impossible to do more, as the last \"distressed seaman\" remains on board to testify in mathematical language to the three-quarters-hearted kindness of British consular officers at Shanghai, in a case in which an hour's delay in delivering the despatches, which none but the Nile could take at the moment, was fraught with danger to the whole foreign community of Tientsin.\n\nOrders have gone to England for the immediate despatch of men of war.\n\n## Enclosure No. 2 in Major-General Stoneral Whitfeild's Despatch No. 447 of 6th July, 1870.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-145 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [6-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 282829, "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": "CO129-147 - Public Offices - 1870", "page_number": 37, "title": "CO129-147 - Public Offices - 1870", "content_text": "## QUEEN'S STORES.-Persons purchasing this Paper are liable to a Prosecution.\n\nNo. of the Voucher | Date of the Superintendent's or Senior Officer's Order for the Supply | Name of the Vessel or Person | Amount, including the per Centage \n| --- | --- | --- | --- \n71, Home.-No. 67, Foreign. | (Voucher No. Yard, 214 Wed 18 ...) | Mong Rig | 35 by.\n\n## VOUCHER for EXPENSES incurred on Acount of HM Palecé Alepartme!\n\nInsert the Name of the Vessel or Officer of the Public Department.\n\n| Quantity | Particulars of the Stores supplied, or other Expense incurred | Date | Value | Rate | £ | d. \n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- \nyards, pryurg 40374 | Canvas No. 1 | Week 6 1841 | 32 | 78 | | \n\nTHESE are to Certify that the before-mentioned Articles were supplied, Workmanship performed, and Expenses incurred.* as witness my Hand this Day of the art. 1889\n\nThe Master of the Vessel or Officer of the Department to sign here and state his Situation.\n\nIt is to be stated hereon in red ink whether payment has been received by the Naval Storekeeper, &c., agreeably to the directions of the 9th February, 1844.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-147 - Public Offices - 1870.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 288837, "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": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "page_number": 210, "title": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "content_text": "816\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nhowever, and the daily business which is doing for manufacturing wants is at firm rates.

I will correct the text to the best of my abilities following the given rules.\n\nI shall reply in a temperate and respectful tone to every charge categorically, and there I thought the matter might have been settled in the afternoon. He wrote to say that if I would fix a count on Saturday, he would come down and take the cases which had been adjourned. On the Saturday he came, and his demeanor was, if anything, quite as insulting when we were alone as it had been before.\n\nWhen we got into Court, he handed me a consent order for a reference, which had been drawn up in the regular or ordinary form, and asked me if it was regular. I said I thought it was, on which he said, \"Then I do not think so.\" His objection was that the appearance paper, in which the defendant appeared without solicitor, did not contain the words \"in person,\" which in my opinion are utterly immaterial.\n\nAll the accounts were passed, and then he suddenly said that in future he should not sign any Probate orders but that they should be drawn up from the Minute book. Of course, I have no objection whatever to any rule of practice, but hitherto the practice has been for the Chief Justice to sign, and he has never recognized any document unless it would be shown that the order or draft bore his handwriting.\n\nThe effect of the present rule will be, if it has any effect at all, to leave me responsible for all the money of the intestates, even after my accounts have been passed. I do not much mind this, nor should I mention it if it were not accompanied by insults, which in cold weather are quite intolerable and make one feel that one cannot do all one's work with ease, notwithstanding the intense heat, but I am quite unable to bear insults, which are perfectly gratuitous.\n\nI do not interfere with any of the Coroner's questions. I confine myself to the duties I have undertaken, and I trust you will not think me unreasonable when I ask you to aid me, if you can, in avoiding what must, if unchecked, soon become a grave public scandal.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nRed Sibbons", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323212, "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": "CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11]", "page_number": 20, "title": "CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11]", "content_text": "REGINA V. LOGAN.\n\nseen him passing my house before constantly. I quarter past six that morning I went out of my dwelling house to go to my tea hong, which was to the east of my house. I usually go to my shop at that time. When I got to my shop I saw some men sitting there waiting to be hired to work at the tea hongs; they do so all the year. There were no other people there, but there were several Europeans coming from the west towards the east; I did not count them, but there were three or four. I see one man present who was one of the Europeans there; it is the prisoner. I saw a cane in the hands of one of the Europeans; it was the prisoner, and he struck the people who had been hired with the stick on their heads.\n\nMr. Wise—Are you in the habit of allowing your dog to be struck without objecting?\n\nWitness—My dog is a very obedient dog, and always comes into the shop when it is struck. If it had been a Chinaman who struck the dog I would have spoken to him, but as it was a foreigner how could I? I just made an exclamation, and spoke to myself about the matter.\n\nWhat did you say? Say it just as you said it.\n\nWitness—I said in a low tone, in Chinese, \"Ah, the foreigner is sufficiently saucy.\" I said this being angry, but I said it so low that the foreigner did not hear me. He did not strike me, and there was no disturbance. I could not see who used the stick to strike the Chinese at Logan's house; I only saw the stick used; it was used many times. I did not see the Chinese ward off the blows, but someone must have done so, or they would not have been pursued. There were eight or ten Chinese pursued by the foreigners. The firearm used was not like either of the two revolvers produced; it was longer. I did not see the woman's wound, but I saw blood on her shoulder and she followed the foreigners repeatedly calling on them to cure her wound, and the foreigner would not have her follow them, so he took a revolver to frighten her away, and they went on. I did not see Logan fire the weapon; the woman stepped back when he threatened her with the revolver; then they went on and she followed them.\n\nThere was one report, and after a short time another one; I could not see into the street; my shop has glass windows and iron bars to them.\n\nRe-examined by Mr. Francis—When the foreigners went to Logan's house the second time, they stood opposite Logan's door for some minutes. I could not see the foreigners well the first time they went there and the stick was used, because there were a number of Chinese between me and them, but when they came back the second time, there was only the woman, and I could clearly see the pointing of the pistol. There were a few Chinese between Logan's house and the bridge to the east but none between me and the woman.\n\nWong Nam Po, examined by the Crown Advocate, deposed—I am a tea merchant, carrying on business under the style of the Shun Cheung Lung. I live at the Wan Chu bridge in Nam Ngon-street. I know the Yi Kai shop, but the previous witness is no relation of mine though his surname is the same as mine. Our shops are seven or eight houses distant from each other; his is to the east of mine. I remember the 12th of August; at a...\n\nThe Crown Advocate—At the time the prisoner went to his house and obtained the firearm was any one attacking the foreigners?\n\nWitness—There was no one attacking them.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Wise—The number of coolies round the tea hongs depends upon the nature of the season. There were several men outside the tea house, and on the other side of the street. I do not think, including women and children passing by, there were more than twenty people passing about there. I did not notice particularly whether anyone was carrying anything besides the prisoner when I saw him carrying a cane; I did not see them carry anything else, but I am short-sighted, and do not wear my spectacles in the street. I have made no mistake as to the prisoner, or as to the number of Europeans; there might have been three or four, but I did not count them. One of the foreigners was rather stout, and one was taller than the prisoner. A good many foreigners pass by there every day, but I don't give any particular attention to them. I cannot say how the foreigners were dressed; I think they were in dark clothes, and one was in white. There were only five coolies sitting outside the tea hong, and the prisoner struck the whole of them. He did not hit them hard until the fifth one warded off the stick, and then the prisoner struck him hard. The foreigner only went about a step into his house, and I am sure I saw a firearm handed to him. I could not say how long it was as I am near-sighted, and I ran away directly I saw it. I have told people I thought it was about a foot long.\n\nMr. Wise—What length did you give to the pistol when you gave your evidence before the Acting British Consul?\n\nWitness—I said it was about a foot long.\n\nYou said on that day it was two feet long, did you not?\n\nThe interpreter said was it about a foot or two feet long, and I said yes, probably it was, but that was only my opinion. I think it was a little longer than the two small revolvers produced.\n\nWhat time elapsed between the firing of the two shots?\n\nAbout as long as it would take to drink two cups of tea—about five minutes. I belong to the Kai-fong, and am an elder of the street. There is a guard room in the street, but no gambling house. They are all respectable people in that street, and no gamblers at all; it is not a haunt of bad characters.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Wise—When I went into the prisoner's house I saw a number of stones, pieces of bricks, and shunam on the ground floor.\n\nMr. Wise—Can you form an opinion as to how they got there?\n\nWitness—I should say from the look of them, that they must have been thrown from the outside.\n\nDid you see a house marked with a red cross in that street?\n\nYes.\n\nWas it the prisoner's house?\n\nNo.\n\nHave you known the prisoner long?\n\nYes, since 1873, I think.\n\nWhat kind of character has he borne as far as you know?\n\nHe has borne a very good character.\n\nYou never heard anything against him?\n\nNo.\n\nAnd as far as you know, he is a quiet, peaceable man?\n\nYes.\n\nBy Mr. Francis—I don't know when the red cross was put up on the house; I first saw it at the beginning of last week.\n\nHis Lordship—Why did you say you thought some of the pieces of brick, &c., came from the roof?\n\nWitness—I meant that I thought they might have been taken from some roof and thrown in. I thought the rubbish was thrown in from the way it was scattered. It could not have been thrown in at the window as it had bars and a wire grating, and I should think it must have been thrown in from the door in the centre of the house.\n\nMr. A. Denison, Surveyor, and clerk to Messrs. Danby & Leigh, architects, &c., of Hongkong, said—I have had some seven years' experience in making plans, and I made the plan produced of the locus in quo, having visited the spot in company with the last witness as stated. From Logan's house to the bridge is about 110 feet, and from the centre of the bridge to the cross street is 133 feet.\n\nBy his Lordship—I did not see a dog struck.\n\nAndrew K. Dunlop, said—I am a British subject, and the constable of this Consulate. I remember on the 12th August last arresting the prisoner in his house at Honam. I subsequently arrested a man of the name of Johnson in a back street in that neighbourhood. He gave himself up to be under the protection of the British Consul. I went over to Honam this morning with Mr. Denison, in court, and I pointed out to him Mr. Logan's house, and I also pointed out Mr. Johnson's house, and I also indicated to him where Mr. Neilson's house was. The two revolvers in court were produced at the preliminary examination before the Consul by Mr. Ewars, of the Custom House. They have been in the Consulate ever since, the greater part of the time in my custody. When they were produced at the Consulate they were both full loaded, and remained so until I withdrew the charges by the direction of the court. (Five cartridges from each produced.) The leather cartridge pouch produced with cartridges in it was also produced in court by Mr. Ewars; the cartridges are the same size as those I withdrew from the two revolvers.\n\nI saw Mr. Cunningham, who was then the Norwegian Consul, examine the...\n\nChau Anon, examined by Mr. Francis, said—I am a widow; I think I came here before and gave evidence before the Consul. I am a night soil woman, and I live in Sha Tai. I remember being in Honam on the 10th of last moon, I was carrying some baskets in Nam Ngon-street to buy shavings at the carpenters' shops. I was going from the east to the west, when I was shot in the back by someone shooting from behind. There were some people passing and some ran past me coming from behind. I don't know what the people were running for as there were a lot of people about. I did not meet any foreigners. I was shot from behind. It hit me so slightly I did not know at first I was shot...\n\nPage 19", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323938, "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": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "page_number": 369, "title": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "content_text": "The Japanese Count handed made complaint, & I am to state that\n\nLord Derby proposes, if Lord Kimberley concurs, to censure\n\nMr. H.

In other words, I was given on one hand 9 months (half of my leave taken in 1885-86) while on the other hand about 8 months (half of my previous leave) was disallowed.\n\nMy most respectful contention is that leave taken previous to the issue of the Regulations of September 1881, should be allowed to count as service towards pension. I may state that, with one exception, I am the only subordinate officer now in the force who received half-pay leave previous to the Regulations of September 1881, being re-employed, and that therefore whatever decision may be given it will affect only one other member of the Police Force.\n\nI have, &c.,\nGev: Horspool,\nChief Inspector of Police.\n\n**C.O.**\n\n:9391591\n**REC**\nRCC129 SEP 98\nb.S.O No 1808\nNo 224.\n\nTo F.

The pension is put under C.S.O. 137, 21st February 1887, payable under Ordinance 9 of 1862, section III. I considered that point will have been settled by me.

In such a case, if the spirit of Lord Cameron's promise is upheld, I think it would be fair to take the length of service up to March 1889, & this would justify 4½ out of the 5 months \"Cacen leave\".

On the other hand the Attorney-General drew a distinction and he (his lordship) must say as regards the evidence the circumstances which applied to these cases were entirely different with regard to the fourth charge and the other three. For some reason or other the Government had failed to show what the state of accounts was with regard to the prisoner. Although the accounts were not shown he was not of opinion that would preclude the larceny of a specific amount being conclusively proved, but at the same time, if the evidence was weak, and it was chiefly a matter of inferences that they were asked to draw from certain facts, this omission had a considerable amount of weight.\n\nWith respect to the first three charges, three sums of money were entered on the credit side of the book put in on the 14th August, the 10th September, and the 8th October. These sums were placed to the prisoner's credit in his own handwriting with the statement that they were received on account of postal notes: It was suggested by the prosecution that the statements implied that these were paid into the Bank, but Mr. Francis stated that they meant nothing of the sort. The statement by the prosecution that these were sums paid into the bank was not in his opinion proved by the evidence. The defence suggested that it could not be assumed that these sums were paid into the Bank, because the evidence showed that the prisoner was authorised to apply the cash he received for the general purposes of the Money Order Office.\n\nIt was proved by the prosecution further that there were some additions in red ink in the handwriting of the prisoner on the receipt after it left the Treasury. It might have been an improper thing to add these figures but it did not appear from the evidence that it was done for an improper purpose.\n\nWith regard to the fourth charge the evidence of Mr. Travers went to show what was the practice in paying in money for orders drawn. The money was sent to the Bank, where a receipt was given and a certificate with this receipt attached was sent to the Treasury, the Treasury sending back a receipt for these documents. That came to the Post Office and was sent into the money order department. He thought the jury would be of opinion that both at the Post Office and at the Audit Office the Money Order Office was regarded as a separate department.\n\nMr. Travers appeared to have thought the whole management of that office was in the hands of the prisoner subject to the Audit Office, and the Audit Office appeared to have considered that they had nothing at all to do with postal notes and were only interested in money orders with respect to the accounts. The whole matter appeared, therefore, to have been left in the prisoner's hands.\n\nWith regard to this charge the Chinese clerk from the Treasury said that he filled in the receipt for the $1,913 from the Bank receipt, and looking at the Bank receipt he said the words \"for postal notes\" appeared therein and he stated that he must have put the words \"postal notes\" after the words \"on account of\". The jury would see on examining the document that after the words \"on account of\" there was an erasure. It would be for the jury to say, if they could, what words they thought had been erased.\n\nThis receipt was returned to the Post Office and the prosecution alleged that this sum had been stolen by the prisoner. The Bank clerk was called and he stated that this sum was not paid in to the credit of the Government on the date alleged. It was suggested that this receipt by a fraudulent alteration had been made to serve a double purpose. It was suggested that the sum was not paid into the Bank but was applied by the prisoner to his own purposes and that he accounted for it by the production of this receipt which really applied to another matter altogether, namely, postal notes. It was for the jury, of course, to say what inference they drew in the matter.\n\nThe jury after half-an-hour's consideration returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty on the first, second, and third counts and guilty on the fourth count.\n\nHis Lordship said-Prisoner at the bar, you have been convicted of stealing a sum of $1,737.83. The amount is comparatively small, and of course I need hardly say that I don't for a moment assume that you are guilty of anything else but what the jury have convicted you of. You have been convicted on one of those counts only and you have been acquitted on the other three. Therefore the charge remains simply as a charge of stealing the sum which I have mentioned.\n\nAlthough the sum is comparatively small there are circumstances in this case which make me deal more severely with it than I should with an ordinary case. You were a public servant and had been entrusted for a long time by the Government with the conduct of an office—in fact the confidence in you appears to have been most complete—and you committed this robbery under circumstances of considerable atrocity. By the alteration of the voucher submitted to the auditor and by the erasure of some words you were enabled to obtain credit twice over for the same sum, and in addition you attempted to escape from justice by quitting the colony.\n\nYou are convicted, as I said just now, of stealing a comparatively small sum, and the sentence I shall pass upon you is one of three years' imprisonment with hard labour.\n\n648", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-245 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 345218, "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": "CO129-249 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [1-5]", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-249 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [1-5]", "content_text": "323\n\nAs to the rate of pension neither under the Police Regulations, nor under the old Soupkin, Pension minute does anything but \"Salary\" count for pension; but under Treasury practice, house allowance or quarters has been allowed to count for ordinary Civil pension, for this man has been the greater part of his service out of the Police. It has been held that it should not count for more than part of the total. In this case the man was on 6 months' leave with half pay during his last 3 years' service; & in such a case there always arises a difficulty, acknowledging the average salary for the last 3 years should be calculated. The local Govt have apparently counted it on the average salary he drew during the last 36 months or on the salary of the post held by him during that time, though not employed with pay; this is fair though the wording of the rule is not in accordance with Art. X. It is so provided in the new Draft Minute received by such person for three years next preceding the commencement of pension: the minute clearly does not meet the case of a man absent without pay, doing part of those 3 years.

Name of Applicant. J. M. A. da Silva\n\nREC 18 16 93\n\nHead of Paper.-In the case of an Officer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether he is a native of that Coast. (Colonial Regulations, § 430.) Head 3.-State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.--If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages as at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual\". In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of such Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. Those net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed.\n\nPapers of Particulars when Forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office.\n\nIn the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.--In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9-As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5. If the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 11. If the Applicant is able to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.--The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given.

H. WHITEHEAD-I rise to oppose the third reading of this Bill, and to move, if it is necessary for me to conclude with a motion, its rejection. I do so with no hope of success, as I am aware, from your Excellency's statements, that the minds of the official majority of the Council were made up on the subject before the present Bill was laid a first time on the table, and that no arguments of mine are likely to influence them. My sole object in speaking is to record my protest against the passing of the Bill in its present form, and to preserve my right of appeal to the Secretary of State. I intend to address His Lordship on the subject and to urge the return of the Bill to the Council for amendment before it is finally approved. I am in favour of the Pó Léung Kuk, of its incorporation and endowment, and I voted for the second reading of this Bill. I am, however, distinctly opposed to the organization given the Society by this Bill, as in my opinion the inclusion of the Registrar-General as a Member of the Board of Direction deprives the Government in large measure of that oversight and supervision which was the professed object of the Bill to give to the Government. I would sweep away, if I could, the Registrar-General's department, but so long as the Office and the department exist and so long as the Women and Girls' Protection Ordinance No. 11 of 1890 is in force, I object to the powers given to the Registrar-General by that Ordinance being exercised subject to the control of a majority of Chinese, who as the honourable the nominee representative of the Chinese community has to admit, are ignorant of the principles and practice of English law. There is no inconsistency in the two views; neither is there any want of consistency in my opinions that in this Council British subjects ought to be more largely and more effectively represented, and that we would be better governed than we are if it were so; but while the vast mass of alien Chinese who are resident in this Colony remain estranged from western ideas, they can take no part in the management of our affairs, and have no just or rightful claim to a controlling voice in the Government. They are entitled to be heard and consulted, but the power and authority must rest in the ruling race and in its representatives. In giving expression to these opinions I am in touch with most of the intelligent members of the community; I was in touch with them when originally opposed to the Pó Léung Kuk; I have carried many with me in my change of opinion as to the merits of the Society. I am happy to say that in my opposition to clause 5 of this Bill I have the concurrence of many of the leading residents and Government servants, who have given the subject thought and consideration. I shall be very much surprised, Sir, if the Home Government do not find cause to disallow the Bill in its present form.\n\nGovernor.\n\nNo.\n\nbuison 139\n\nDate.\n\n1893\n\n30 June\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nGov\n\n1931\n\nAusd 144:f\n\nAgatsaap\n\nверова\n\nb\n\nIm yarn ques\n\nStory Ling\n\nStraits.

It is a very important item indeed in connection with the future commerce of this colony. I think it affords us an opportunity of placing the currency of the colony in a sound condition and doing away with the foolish system of chopping dollars. I believe the Government have been advised at home by experienced men that it would be impossible to do away with chopping the British dollars. I do not at all agree with the advice they have acted upon. From our point of view, it is highly desirable that our currency should also be a legal tender in the Straits Settlements. The banks here have considerable interest in the banks in the Straits. If these dollars are chopped, they cease to be current in the Straits. They are current in Hongkong, but not in the Straits. It is a great grievance and at the end of the 19th century, we ought not to tolerate chopped currency. (Hear, hear). It would be in the interests of every single trader in this place, of every private individual, and of none more than the Chinese themselves, if the system were stopped altogether. This custom of chopping is a very ancient one, and I think the time has now come for it to be done away with. I would like, before this meeting separates, to have an expression of opinion that the Government should legislate that the British dollar should not be chopped and if it is chopped, that it should not be current. (Hear, hear). We all know we had 7.1.7 to the dollar, one of the reasons being that the tael weight is pretty well the universal one all over China, but the chopped dollar is not accepted in Shanghai. Surely the Government would not come to the conclusion that the Shanghai custom would not apply here. The objection must arise that ten Mexican dollars are worth more by count than by weight. The weight of the Mexican dollar is a very irregular one. It is supposed to be 417 or 418 grains, whereas the weight of the British dollar is 416, so that they are very much the same. At all events, the loss is so slight that everyone would put that consideration on one side for the purpose of placing the currency on a proper footing.\n\nMr. SHARP - I am very glad that Mr. Jackson has said what he has. I had intended to say a word about chopping dollars, but I was very much afraid that anything which I might say might not be appreciated by Mr. Jackson, who is the manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, because I can imagine that a bank might think that its interests were in some way identified with the chopping of dollars, for this reason, that they can chop as many coins as they please. Known banks chop a hundred thousand coins and go through a great deal of labour overnight before they are paid out in the morning, in order that the bank may secure a premium upon unchopped dollars which remained in their treasury. I am delighted to find that Mr. Jackson takes a clear view on this matter, and I think he bases his view upon the idea of bettering the general interests of the colony.\n\nThere is no question whatever that the mutilation of our coins is against the interests of trade. Why should there always be a premium upon remittances to Singapore and Japan? For no earthly reason than that the coins with which we have to pay for those bills are at a discount. If you want to send a remittance to Singapore, you have to send a clean coin. I do not know whether people are aware of the injury which is hereby inflicted. I would like to direct your attention for a minute to a little anecdote which occurred more than thirty years ago. I sold an invoice of clean Mexican dollars for the Commercial Bank to the Agra Bank. It was then that the proportion of indifferent low touch coins, which had been habitually rejected by the banks' compradores for many years previously, had been greatly increasing - increasing year by year until it had become quite a formidable matter. On this occasion, between six and seven hundred dollars were rejected by the compradore of the Agra Bank. I asked what they were worth, and the reply was \"Oh, these coins no good touch, have got tin inside; but maskee, 30 cents.\" Thirty cents was all the money that was offered for these 650 dollars. I was the intermediary employed in the transaction and therefore was called upon to deal with it. I went into my best to settle an arrangement. I went to another bank close by and said \"Compradore, what are these dollars worth?\" \"Oh, very little touch\" was the reply, \"25 or 30 cents.\" I thought this was more unsatisfactory. I got into my little pony trap and drove down to Messrs. Olyphant and Co., the American firm, whose business then was next door to the Commissariat Buildings. I went in and saw the managing partner, Mr. Parkin, and said to him, \"Will you allow me to do a little business with your compradors?\" He said \"By all means.\" I said to the compradore, \"There are these 650 Mexican dollars. They are at five per cent. premium. Please allow your shroff to look see.\" He called in his shroff, who shroffed these 630 Mexicans. He said \"They are all good.\" I said \"I think perhaps some have got pieces inside not belonging; make better you call in another shroff.\" He then sent in next door for the shroff of Fletcher & Co. The shroff came in and carefully examined them a second time. He said \"They are all good,\" but selected one coin and said \"This piece belongs to old year, you more better go Lane Crawford and buy one batch.\" (Laughter). I said \"You can secure number one.\" He said \"Clean dollar just now long five per cent. premium.\" I said \"Maskee, give me the notes.\" He gave me the notes, and I drove off to the bank. I gave them to the manager and said \"For goodness' sake don't say anything about these or else there will be a reclamation.\" Nothing was said about it. There was not a bad dollar amongst them. Both these men are now dead, but the compradors of the late firm of Olyphant and Co. are, I believe, still living, and he will confirm my statement. The attempt of the Agra Bank compradore to put nearly 500 dollars into his pocket out of this bullion shipment was thus defeated.\n\nPage 215 \n`TREASURY` \n`10096` \n`(REC 1 JUL 95)`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-267 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 357987, "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": "CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11]", "page_number": 152, "title": "CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11]", "content_text": "149\n\nPolice and Police Pension Regulations which were approved in Executive Council on the 4th instant together with copy of a letter from the Evelin dating Captain Superintendent of Police recommending the adoption of the \"Red Mark\" system therein embodied.\n\n15th May, 1895.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most Obedient Humble Servant,\nWilliam Robinson\n\n## Enclosure 1.\nC.O. 14529\nREC'd 19 JUN 95\n\n**GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION-No. 302.**\n\nThe following additional Police and Police Pension Regulations are published.\n\nBy Command,\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th July, 1895.\n\n**ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS**\n\nJ.

In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.—If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6.—If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7—A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. Those net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.—In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.—As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.—If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14—If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.—The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given.

In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.--If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6.-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7.-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. Those net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed.\n\nPapers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement.

V. Creagh, C.M.G., in respect of his service in the Punjab Police.\n\n9. In reply to a reference we made to the Accountant General of the Punjab we received a letter, of which a copy is forwarded for Your Lordship's information, in which it is stated that Mr. Creagh did not render so much as one complete year of pensionable service in India. He is not therefore eligible for any pension from Indian revenues.\n\n3. With reference to Your Lordship's remark that no arrangement appears to have been made in regard to Mr. Creagh's Indian pension at the time of his transfer to colonial service, we transmit, for Your Lordship's information, extracts from correspondence on the subject. In a letter to the Government of India, No. 651, dated 30th November 1866, the Government of Hong Kong enquired whether the Government of India were willing to allow Mr. Creagh, who was then an Assistant Superintendent of Police in the Punjab, to take service in Hong Kong without prejudice to his position in the Indian Service. In reply, the Government of India stated that they could not allow Mr. Creagh's service in China to count as service in India, or towards pension, but that they would not object to the retention of Mr. Creagh's name on the Police List of the Punjab so as to give him the option of returning to the Punjab Police within a limited period of, say, two or three years. The Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, writing to Mr. Creagh on the 30th November 1866, informed him of the purport of the communication to the Government of India of the same date and then stated-\" It is, however, very probable that this request may be one impossible to comply with, and you will then have to consider whether the prospect of £400 per annum here, with quarters, offers a sufficient inducement for abandoning your career in India.\" It was finally arranged that Mr. Creagh should receive the first vacancy that might occur after his return, should he come back within five years, with restoration to the rank and position he would have occupied in case he had remained.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\n[MY LORD,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient, humble Servants,\n\n(Signed) ELGIN.\n\nG.

It is not improbable that, even if Mr. Creagh cannot be permitted to retain his position in the Punjab Police or be allowed to count his service here, he will nevertheless consent to come to Hong Kong. I fear, however, that he will do this under an impression of my having it in my power hereafter to do more for him than I can, and I am therefore very reluctant to interfere with his future prospects in the Indian service.\n\nerroneous\n\nII. I trust Your Excellency may find yourself able to take a favourable view of the request herein preferred and to issue early the necessary directions for that purpose. Not knowing any other suitable channel through which to make this communication I have been obliged to trouble Your Excellency with these details.\n\nExtract, paragraphs 2 and 3, of a letter from the Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong, to Mr. G. V. Creagh, No. 652, dated 30th November 1866,\n\n2. His Excellency is writing by this post to the Governor General of India to inform him of his wish to obtain your services at Hong Kong, without prejudice, if possible, to your future promotion under the Indian Government, and requesting that service here may count in your favour for promotion in the Punjab Police hereafter.\n\n3. It is, however, very probable that this request may be one impossible to comply with; and you will then have to consider whether the prospect of £400 per annum here, with quarters, offers a sufficient inducement for abandoning your career in India.\n\nExtract, paragraph 6, of a letter to the Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong, No. 126, dated the 7th January 1867.\n\n6. In regard to Mr. Creagh, I am desired to intimate, for His Excellency's information, that the Government of India would be unable to allow his service in China to count as service in India or towards pension; but there would be no objection to the retention of his name in the Police List of the Punjab, to which, if he wished, he might revert within a given time-say two or three years.\n\nNo. 621, dated 18th April 1867.\n\nFrom-T. H. THORNTON, Esq., Secretary to the Government of the Punjab and its Dependencies, To-E. C. BAYLEY, Esq., Secretary to the Government of India.\n\nI am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and its enclosure, No. 3678, dated 11th instant, and to state that the instructions communicated therein will be carefully carried out, and that Mr. Creagh will be enjoined to use all practicable expedition so as to be enabled to embark with his men in one or other of the vessels indicated,\n\n2. As regards Mr. Creagh himself, the arrangement which the Lieutenant-Governor proposes is that he receives a promise of the first vacancy that may occur after his return should he come back within five years, and of restoration to the rank and position he would have occupied in case he had remained. To keep his place vacant for a period of five years would undeniably be most inconvenient and prejudicial.\n\nNo. 1073, dated 6th June 1857.\n\nFrom-E. C. BAYLEY, Esq., Secretary to the Government of India,\n\nTo-T. H. THORNTON, Esq., Secretary to the Government of the Punjab.\n\n* Letter in this Department, No. 126, dated\n\nHong\n\n7th January, to the Government of Kong, enclosed in this office letter No. 127 of 11th April last, the same date; also letter No. 3678, paragraph 2.\n\nI am desired to acknowledge your letter No. 621, dated 18th April. As regards the promise given to Mr. Creagh, the Governor General in Council considers that it exceeds the limits within which His Excellency signified his willingness to allow Mr. Creagh to retain his connection with the Punjab Police, His Excellency considers it very undesirable that any absentee who may leave India (it may be presumed for reasons of his own convenience or advantage) should be allowed to retain his connection with his appointment in India for so lengthened a period as five years, or that it should be guaranteed by a promise binding on any future Lieutenant-Governor or Governor General.\n\n2. His Excellency regrets that, in the present instance, he was not made aware of the conditions permitted to Mr. Creagh in time, with reference to the date fixed for the embarkation of the men, effectually to express his opinion; and as Mr. Creagh has now sailed on the faith of the terms accorded to him, His Excellency will not interfere with the arrangement, further than to request that it may not be drawn into any precedent for the future.\n\n3.

(Confidential.)\n\nTHE various routes that have from time to time been suggested or adopted for the French railway from Laokai to Yünnan-fu are marked on the accompanying map (compiled by \"le soldat Schneider,\" and published at Hanoi last November) by means of double lines. These routes are three-\n\n1. That proposed by the Mission d'Études in about 1898;\n\n2. The modifications subsequently introduced into this route by the engineers of the Travaux Publics of Tonquin;\n\n3. The \"trace\" of Herr von Kapp, adopted last year.\n\nThe first two ran up the valley of the Red River to Sinkai, thence along its tributary, the Sin-hsien Ho, and over a pass to the Mongtse Plain, whence the former followed the main road through Sinfang, Kuan-yi, Tunghai, Kiangchuan, and Tein-ning to Chiengkung and Yunnan-fu. The latter also kept this road as far as Kuanyi and a few miles further north; then it diverged to the west, so as to pass through Hsin-hsing Chou to K'unyang, on the southern extremity of the Tien-ch'ih, or Lake of Yünnan; it ultimately rejoined the main road at Tsin-ning.\n\nThe third route, which is the route that has now been finally adopted, is, it will be seen, entirely distinct from its predecessors. It leaves the Red River at Laokai itself, and runs up the valley of the Nam-hti (Nan-chi) to its head-waters in the hills, some 8 miles east of Mengtse. It is thence carried along, or through, those hills until it strikes, near A-mi Chou, the Lin-an River, an affluent of the Pei-ta Ho, which last is, in effect, the \"West River\" of Wuchow and Canton. A few miles further north the Pei-ta Ho itself is met, and up the gorges and valleys of this river the line runs until, a little beyond I-liang, it quits the river for its tributary, the torrent that drains the Yang-tsung Lake. It sweeps upward to the crest of the hills west of this lake, and having now attained—in fact, somewhat exceeded—the level of its terminus, finds little difficulty in crossing the remaining low passes into the Yunnan Plain.\n\nPrivate Schneider's map may be checked by the photographs of the track-chart prepared by the Société de construction. Of these a copy, courteously supplied by M. Guibert, Directeur des Travaux, is attached, together with similar photographs of—\n\n1. The profile of the line;\n\n2. A chart showing the position of the various concessions, or foreign establishments along it;\n\n3. A map of Yunnan city and its environs.\n\nFrom the profile it appears that the line leaves Laokai, the first station, at an elevation of 100 metres (328 feet) above sea-level; that in the first 74 kilom. (46 miles) it ascends gradually to 300 metres; and that during the next 80 kilom. it rises rapidly, at Milati attaining the height of 1,708 metres (3,535 feet); that it then falls to A-mi Chou, 1,056 metres (3,463 feet), whence the ascent is practically continuous to Shui-ya Tan, the highest point on the line, 2,020 metres (6,624 feet), 436 kilom. (271 miles) from Laokai. The elevation of Yunnan-fu, or rather of the station there, is given as 1,889 metres, or 6,196 feet.\n\nThe total length of the line, as now settled, is 464 kilom., or 290.88 miles (corrected from 4684 kilom.). This is divided into twenty-nine lots, or rather into thirty-two, as three of the lots are subdivided. These lots have been secured by fourteen contractors (\"entrepreneurs\") of whom the first and the last are French citizens, the rest being Italians. Their names, and the apportionment between them of the lots, are shown on the profile. It will be observed that two contractors have each taken up six lots; one contractor, four lots; five contractors, two lots apiece; and the remaining six contractors, one lot each.\n\nThe line is also shown to be divided into ten sections. Three of these contain four lots; six, three lots; and one, the ninth, two lots. Each section has its \"chef\" or head, and there is a \"sous-chef\" or assistant head, for each lot. Above the \"chefs des sections\" are two \"chefs de division,\" M. Dufour, who has his head-quarters at Mengtse, and M. Prud'homme, Chief of the second division, who is stationed at I-liang. Above these, again, is the director (\"Directeur des Travaux\"), who, with his staff, is quartered at Mengtse. The \"directeur\" was, till a few days ago, M. Guibert, but he has now left on a six months' \"congé,\" and is being replaced by Herr von Kapp, the confidential adviser of Count Vitali, President of the Société de Construction des Chemins de Fer.\n\nThe Association has a French register, and its \"Conseil\" meets in Paris. As is well known, it has constructed railways in, among other countries, Italy, Macedonia, and Asia Minor, and a great number of its employés in Yunnan are men who have for years been engaged in its service. Their doyen is, I believe, M. de Violini, Chief of the eighth section.\n\nI understand that the Chemin de Fer de Yünnan is the only considerable enterprise in which the Association is at the present time engaged; but of this I cannot speak positively. (The Society is said to be interested in the German Bagdad Railway.) For its work in Yunnan it is to be paid partly in cash and partly in shares of the concessionary Company, La Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de l'Indo-Chine et du Yünnan.\n\nThe interests of this Company are watched over from time to time by agents sent out for the purpose. The last of these, M. Getten, visited Yunnan-fu in April, returning along the line to Tonquin. He has since left for Paris.\n\nBy the Agreement between the Company and the Government of Indo-China, the latter is required to construct the line from Haiphong, on the coast, through Tonquin to Laokai, the frontier town, and to complete this line by the 1st April, 1905. The line (to which I shall refer later) is now in running order as far as Yenbay. Meanwhile, the Public Works Department (the Travaux Publics) of Tonquin also stations a Delegate in Yünnan to safeguard the interests of the Government of Indo-China, since this Government is, as I understand, eventually to receive one-half of the profits of the Haiphong-Yunnan-fu Railway. The Present Delegate, M. Richard, resides at Mengtse, but visits Yunnan-fu four or five times in the year.\n\nBefore dismissing the profile, attention may be drawn to the fact therein shown that there are to be eight stations, of varying classes, thus—\n\n \n Kilometre\n Station\n Class\n \n \n 70\n Laokai\n 1st\n \n \n \n La-hu-ti\n 3rd\n \n \n 155\n Ma-la-ti\n 3rd\n \n \n 164\n Mengtse\n 3rd\n \n \n 228\n A-mi Chou\n 2nd\n \n \n 298\n Po-si\n 3rd\n \n \n 398\n I-liang\n 3rd\n \n \n 468\n Yunnan-sen\n 1st\n \n\nand twenty-five sidings or stoppages (\"haltes\"). A-mi is, it may be noticed, almost midway between Laokai and Yunnan-fu.\n\nFrom the chart of \"Yünnan-sen\" it will be seen that this city, the capital of the Province of Yunnan, has six gates, and that while all of these, with the exception of the north gate, are surrounded by suburbs, the most thickly-peopled portions outside the wall lie to the south and east.\n\nPrevious to the Mahommedan rebellion (1857-73) almost the whole ground south of the city as far as the two pagodas (the \"vieille tour\" and \"tour neuve\" of the chart) was covered with houses, as was also the land for some third of a mile beyond the east wall.\n\nThe trend of the country is from the hills on the north and north-east down towards the great lake, south-west and south, with the result that the whole district south and west of the city is better suited for paddy fields than for building sites. Such is the case also with the lands between the old eastern faubourg and the hills 2 miles away to the east. The problem, then, that confronted the engineers of the Railway Company was to find an adequate space of sufficiently elevated ground on which to erect their station. The chart shows how it was first attempted to solve this problem. The original \"tracé\" ran alongside the \"route de Mengtse,\" and it was proposed to place an extensive yard in the angle formed between that route and the main road to Kueiyang.\n\nFrom this yard the line was to be continued to a still larger but less symmetrical enclosure to be formed outside the walls between the\n\nPage 15\n\n569", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403268, "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": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 177, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "I should be glad if you would communicate to ho Remir the substance of Count Lam Dorgy's note dated June 21 and inform him PASTERN Office or Individual.

Lucas to Mr. (now Sir) F.T. Piggott, on the subject of the treatment of Judges in this Colony in the matter of vacation leave, I have the honour to enclose copies of correspondence which has taken place with Sir Francis Piggott since he has been in Hongkong from which it will be seen that he claims that leave of absence granted to the Chief Justice on full pay during the Court vacation does not count as part of the 3 months vacation leave in 2 years to which, as there is no vacation in this Colony exceeding one month at one time, he is entitled as an ordinary civil servant.\n\n2\\. I do not consider this contention is supported by `No.133` of the Rules and Regulations of the Colony.\n\nThe point is that the C.J. claims the right to have leave out of the Colony during the Court vacation in addition to six weeks vacation leave such as an ordinary Civil Servant gets. It is out of the question. If the C.J. remains in the Colony during Court vacation he can have six weeks vacation at another time, but if he goes away during Court vacation that must count as part of the six weeks. Even so he is better off than other officers, since he gets a local holiday besides ordinary leave.\n\n& reply that the C.J. cannot have more than six weeks full pay leave out of the Colony in respect of any one year, whether the leave occurs during Court vacation or not.\n\n## Correspondence Details\n\n| Date | From | To |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 3/6/08 | ET hywett | Col.

No steps are, however, being taken by the Chinese Government to restrict the duty-free influx into Manchuria of goods of Russian origin, since on the northern border there are no Chinese customs, with the result that Russian goods are entering by the Eastern Chinese Railway duty-free; and there is no doubt that in a similar manner Chinese goods are entering Russian territory by the same route.\n\nIf the facts are as stated, most-favoured-nation treatment, to which British goods entering by Newchwang are entitled, is not accorded them.\n\nThe Japanese Chargé d'Affaires states that hitherto the Eastern Chinese Railway, which is the artery of trade in Manchuria, was Russia's exclusive property. Treaty between China and Russia in regard to the line explicitly provided for the Customs Tariff of duties to be levied on imports into Manchuria over that line from the southern as well as the northern borders. The southern portion of the line, as a result of the war, now belongs to the Japanese Government, and they expect that treatment accorded to the Russian northern line should also be accorded by the Chinese Government to them. The Japanese railway in the south will be handicapped with the establishment of a custom-house at Dalny only, while Northern Manchuria is left without one.\n\nOn the 1st September Dalny will be made a free port.\n\nWhile wishing to carry out the terms of the Eastern Chinese Railway Treaty, the Japanese Government believe that its provisions should be carried out by the northern and southern lines similarly. The Japanese Government will consent to the establishment of a custom-house at Dalny if the Chinese Government would establish her customs simultaneously in Northern Manchuria as well as in the south, and they desire His Majesty's Government to recommend the Chinese Government in this sense.\n\nI request that you will do so.\n\nThe Japanese Government have approached the United States' Government with a similar request.\n\nThis telegram should be repeated to Tôkið.\n\n[2102 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 410574, "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": "CO129-342 - Governor Lugard & Public Offices - 1907 [11-12]", "page_number": 198, "title": "CO129-342 - Governor Lugard & Public Offices - 1907 [11-12]", "content_text": "to exorcise \n\nhis power \n\nof disallowance with \n\nぶ \n\n194 \n\nDOMESTIC.\n\nto the one \n\nreport \n\nLa \n\n(Signed) C.

Cordes and Bland notified the readiness of the Syndicate to omit the condition relating to control by a Board of Commissioners, and generally to follow the system of administration laid down in the Canton-Kowloon Railway Agreement.\n\nThe German Minister, Count von Rex, recently spoke to me about the necessity of pressing on the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang negotiations to a successful issue, and seemed impatient at the delays interposed on the Chinese side. I did not, however, feel justified in encouraging any representations to the Wai-wu Pu at present, as it seems important that the issue of the Canton-Kowloon Railway Edict should be secured before proceeding with other railway questions.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 1. Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Railway.\n\nMinutes of Meeting held at the Office of the Haikuan Taotai at Tien-tsin, on Saturday, January 26, 1907, at 3 P.M.\n\nPRESENT: Taotai Liang Tun Yen and Taotai C. L. Chow, representing the Viceroy; Mr. H. Cordes, representing the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank; Mr. J. O. P. Bland, representing the Chinese Central Railways (Limited).\n\nChow Taotai stated that negotiations were now resumed under instructions conveyed to Mr. Liang and himself by his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi on behalf of the Yu Chuan Pa (Board of Communications). Under these instructions, he and his colleague were precluded from discussing any proposal for control by Board of Commissioners; they had also been directed that the Minutes of last meeting could only be confirmed after approval by the Yu Chuan Pu. He was therefore of the opinion that the best course to adopt would be for the Syndicate's representatives to draft the Final Agreement anew, basing its terms generally upon those of the Canton-Kowloon Railway contract, and embodying therein those conditions of the Preliminary Agreement which had been mutually agreed to.\n\nLiang Taotai concurred in this proposal, and suggested that the Agreement be made as brief and concise as possible.\n\nMr. Bland thought that the approval of the Minutes by the Yu Chuan Pu might lead to serious delay in the negotiations. He therefore proposed to save time by sending a copy direct to his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, for the information of that Board, with a request that the Board's approval thereof, or comments thereon, might be communicated to the Commissioners before the date fixed for the next meeting. In thus forwarding the Minutes of the present meeting, he would write to his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi and request approval of this procedure and authority for regular confirmation of the Minutes hereafter at each meeting in the absence of any expressed objection by the Yu Chuan Pu.\n\nPage 653\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n0.0\n\nbeing to keep M. Casenave fully informed of what is going on, but you are in no wise bound to conform to his opinion should you see cause to disagree with it. In event of such difference arising, which doubtless is very improbable, the prescribed course is to refer the matter to the respective Boards.\n\nThe Board's attention has been called to your letter of the 31st December, reporting your visit to his Excellency Chang Chih-tung. Though there was, of course, no reason to object to M. Casenave accompanying you on this visit, yet, in so far as the discussion turned on a railway from Wuchang to Changsha, this was peculiarly a predominant British interest by reason of the quasi-agreement or understanding come to with the British Consul in 1905 on the occasion of supplying funds to buy out the American interest in the Yueh-han Railway. It would therefore have been quite in keeping with the spirit and letter of the agreement if you had paid the visit in question alone, and in that case, the embarrassment which you mention as having been brought about by an oversight of the French Consul would have been avoided. I am to add that these remarks are intended rather for your future guidance, and in no way suggest dissatisfaction with your visit, which, on the contrary, is likely, so far as the Board can judge, to be productive of satisfactory results.\n\nThe Board take note of your remark that M. Casenave and yourself had agreed in future to eliminate Consular intervention wherever possible. In regard to this, the Board would observe that, while not wishing to fetter your discretion, they are strongly of opinion that the concurrence of the British Minister or the British Consul, as the case may be, should as a rule be sought on all occasions when you are, so to speak, breaking new ground in the course of your negotiations. The Board is assured that the sympathy and support of His Majesty's officers may always be counted upon, and while their \"intervention,\" in the sense of taking a direct and active part in negotiations, may not be possible or desirable, they should always, in the opinion of the Board, be fully informed as to all important steps you may think fit to take in your dealings with Chinese officials. Such confidence cannot but greatly strengthen your hands, while conversely, if there is any objection on the part of His Majesty's Representative, it is better to learn it in time than to wait for it to be raised afterwards.\n\n4\n\nPage 653", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411563, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 63, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n[12735]\n\n(No. 104.)\nSir,\n\nNo. 1.\n62\n[April 20.]\n\n## SECTION 1\n\nSir J.

Cordes and Bland and the Chinese negotiators of the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang Railway Agreement.\n\nSome time before this meeting took place Messrs. Cordes and Bland addressed a letter to the Chinese Delegates, copy of which is likewise inclosed, notifying them that they were prepared to make certain modifications in the preliminary Agreement, and inclosing a new draft Agreement embodying these concessions. This draft, it will be observed, is largely based upon the Memorandum of the Conference held in Berlin on the 1st December last, copy of which was inclosed in your despatch No. 463 of that month. The stipulation for a 5 per cent. commission and several other points appear to form an exception, but these are doubtless retained to serve as a margin for negotiation.\n\nIn pursuance of an understanding with Count Rex, the German Minister, who had spoken to the Wai-wu Pu on the subject some days previously, I took the opportunity of a visit to that Department on the 26th ultimo to impress upon the Ministers the necessity of bringing the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang negotiations to a speedy completion.\n\nThe response was not altogether satisfactory. The Ministers expressed the belief that the line would not prove remunerative, especially the southern section from I-hsien to Pu K'ou, which passed through a poor country. What traffic there was would be diverted to the German colony of Tsingtau, and it would be that Power, rather than China or Great Britain, which would profit by the enterprise. The time had now come when China must seriously consider whether in pledging her national credit for railway construction she was not assuming a responsibility greater than her resources justified.\n\nIn 1898, when the preliminary Agreement was made, the country had not yet become saddled with the Boxer indemnity, while now they had not only to meet a large foreign debt, but also to find money for measures of reform.\n\nI expressed surprise at this line of argument, and gave the Ministers to understand that its serious adoption would be regarded as a distinct breach of a formal Agreement.\n\nChina's credit, as tested by the European money markets, had never, I said, stood higher than at the present time; and instead of checking the development of the country by gratuitously discrediting their financial position, they should seize the opportunity to make railways while foreign capital was available on such easy terms.\n\nWhile writing this despatch I have received the Minutes of a further meeting of the negotiators, copy of which I have likewise the honour to inclose.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) J.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received May 4.)\n\nPeking, March 19, 1907.\n\nSINCE the date of my last despatch on the subject (No. 104 of the 4th instant), two meetings have taken place between the Chinese and foreign negotiators of the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Railway Agreement, the Minutes of which I have the honour to transmit to you, together with copy of a letter which Messrs. Cordes and Bland addressed to the Chinese Delegates after the first meeting of the 9th instant. In this they placed on record an assurance given them by his Excellency Tang Shao-yi, to the effect that if the Syndicate abandoned the system of control by Boards of Commissioners and would adopt the administrative arrangements of the Canton-Kowloon Agreement, they would be allowed to retain the full benefit of the financial advantages secured to them by the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Preliminary Agreement.\n\nAt the subsequent meeting which took place on the 16th instant it became evident that the Chinese Delegates had no definite instructions, and that it would be futile to continue the negotiations unless the Board of Communications in Peking made itself responsible for their being conducted by duly accredited Agents on the Chinese side in the future.\n\nMessrs. Cordes and Bland accordingly appealed to the German Minister and myself, and suggested, as the only means of avoiding indefinite delay and fruitless discussion, that the negotiations should be transferred to the Board of Communications in Peking, where his Excellency Tang would be able to exercise a direct supervision over them.\n\nCount Rex and I both having appointments at the Wai-wu Pu this afternoon, we agreed to take advantage of the opportunity to make a verbal representation on the subject. This we did to his Excellency Tang, who was the only Minister present.\n\nCount Rex pointed out the interminable delay which had already taken place in connection with the negotiations, and expressed his belief that, as conducted at present, they would never lead to any result.\n\nAfter hearing our statement, his Excellency Tang informed us that the Chinese Delegates had themselves, in a letter which he had just received, suggested the appointment of a direct representative of the Board of Communications to attend future meetings, and he considered that this arrangement would greatly facilitate the course of the negotiations.\n\nWe decided to accept this proposal as a provisional solution of the difficulty; and it was also agreed that the Minutes of all meetings should be formally confirmed and made definitely binding on both parties.\n\nIn my telegram No. 50 of yesterday's date I had the honour to submit to you a brief statement of the present situation as regards the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang Railway negotiations and the manner in which it appeared to me to affect the Soochow-Ningpo extension of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway. This latter question was to have been resumed after the conclusion of the Canton-Kowloon Railway Agreement, but for the moment it seems to be receiving less attention than the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze negotiations, which are being pressed with equal energy by both Mr. Cordes and Mr. Bland. I have frequently drawn the latter's attention to the apparent neglect of the Soochow-Ningpo line and the danger of its being interpreted unfavourably later on.\n\nMr. Bland has generally replied that the resumption of the latter negotiations is primarily a matter for His Majesty's Government, and has given me the impression that, from a financial point of view, the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze line is of even greater importance to his employers than the extension of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway. He points out, and in this I agree with him, that the modifications which have been introduced into the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Agreement have practically removed the political objections which attached to the undertaking in its original form, and he holds that the railway will benefit British quite as much as German interests. I may say that this view seems to be shared by some of the leading British merchants at Tien-tsin, who say that they are... \n\nPage 162", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411711, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 211, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n## C.O. 19974\n### CHINA RAILWAYS.\n\n[April 17.]\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\nRECEIVED 5 JUN 07, SECTION 1, (11357)\n\n## No. 1, Sir Edward Grey to German Ambassador.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nForeign Office, April 17, 1907.\n\nON the 9th instant Prince Stolberg left a Memorandum at this Office in which it was stated that the Imperial German Government would be obliged if His Majesty's Government would instruct the British Minister at Peking to join the German Minister in making an energetic protest at the Wai-wu Pu against the recent attempt on the part of the Chinese Government to cause a delay in the settlement of the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang Railway question.\n\nIt was explained to Prince Stolberg that the first care of His Majesty's Government at the present time was in connection with the all-British Soochow-Ningpo Railway, but that they would gladly take any steps which appeared possible with regard to the negotiations respecting the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang Railway in order to facilitate their conclusion.\n\nI have the honour to state that on the 10th instant a telegram was sent to His Majesty's Minister at Peking informing him that, while precedence should, in his negotiations with the Chinese Government, be given to the negotiations respecting the Soochow-Ningpo Railway, he should support the German Minister in the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang Railway negotiations so far as he could do so without detriment to the Soochow-Ningpo negotiations; and I have since received a reply from him stating that he has agreed with Count Rex that the best course for the present is to press for the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang negotiations being handed over to the Board of Communications.\n\nSir John Jordan has further been requested to urge upon the Wai-wu Pu the early appointment of a President to that Board in place of Tong Shao-yi, who has been transferred elsewhere.\n\nI am, &c. \n(Signed) **E.

He gave me to understand that he was acting at the request of Messrs. Cordes and Bland, who, placing no confidence in verbal assurances, wished to have the arrangement reduced to writing, and had prepared the draft note for him.\n\nAs I did not care to commit myself to any decided action until I received your instructions, I explained to Count Rex that in the Canton-Kowloon negotiations, I had trusted largely to verbal promises, and that it appeared to me that it would be better policy to give Tong Ta-jên the credit of acting in good faith until the reverse had been proved. I suggested, therefore, that we should await the result of a meeting or two of the Delegates before writing in the sense of the proposed note.\n\nCount Rex reluctantly acquiesced in this course.\n\nSince then he has expressed his views to me very frankly and fully in private conversation. He told me that, at the instance of the Syndicates interested, the German Ambassador had been instructed to approach you on the subject, and he added that, unless our active support was forthcoming, he was inclined to abandon the negotiations, and go home.\n\nDuring his short experience here he had endeavoured to be conciliatory with the Chinese, but he had met with nothing but determined opposition in every quarter, and in Shantung especially his most reasonable requests received a flat refusal.\n\nIn my telegram No. 51 of the 23rd March, I reported to you this further application which the German Minister had made to me for assistance, and explained the difficulties I felt in acceding to it pending a decision on the question of the resumption of the Soochow-Ningpo negotiations.\n\nMr. Bland, in a letter, copy of which I have the honour to inclose, has now forwarded to me the Minutes of the last meeting of the negotiators held at Tien-tsin on the 30th ultimo, and has again taken occasion to state the reasons which, in his opinion, render it undesirable that priority should be given to the Hangchow-Ningpo negotiations. In theory, there is no reason to prevent outstanding preliminary Agreements being dealt with simultaneously, and with an equal measure of support, as suggested by Mr. Bland, but he knows perfectly well that in practice the united pressure of two Legations directed against the line of least resistance must inevitably give the precedence to the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze negotiations.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J.

Count Rex protested most emphatically against what he characterized as the almost inconceivable lack of courtesy shown by the Wai-wu Pu in neglecting to inform him. The Ministers explained that the representatives of the two Syndicates had been duly notified of the change, and that they themselves did not consider it necessary to bring it formally to the knowledge of the Legations until they knew for certain that the task of conducting the negotiations had been accepted by the two Viceroys.\n\nCount Rex pointed out that a Decree had been issued virtually superseding an arrangement made between the Wai-wu Pu and us only a week previously, and contended strongly that any modification of that understanding should have been communicated to him.\n\nHerr Krebs, the Interpreter to the German Legation, then read a translation of a Memorandum (copy inclosed) which Count Rex and I had prepared on the subject.\n\nWhen he had finished reading the document, Tong Ta-jên asked permission to read the paper himself, but my German colleague, somewhat to my surprise, absolutely declined to allow his interpreter to part with it on the ground that he was addressing his observations verbally to the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nTong Ta-jên curtly replied that he had no special desire to see the paper, and added that as they did not understand what had been read to them, he and his colleagues were not in a position to make any reply to our suggestions.\n\nIt was explained to Count Rex that the Ministers did not wish to keep the Memorandum, but merely to acquaint themselves more fully with its contents, and on this understanding it was handed over to them.\n\nThe Ministers then said that they could not undertake to interfere with an Imperial Decree, and expressed the opinion that it was quite out of place for the Syndicates to dictate to the Chinese Government who should be appointed as negotiators.\n\nI repudiated the suggestion that the Syndicates were dictating in any way. I reminded their Excellencies of the previous course of the negotiations which had been going on for a considerable time, and were apparently within a measurable distance of reaching a satisfactory conclusion, when, without any reason being assigned, an Imperial Decree was sprung upon us necessitating their being commenced again from the beginning. It was no wonder that the Syndicates were dissatisfied with this procedure, which was likely to lead to indefinite delay.\n\nTong Ta-jên explained that the Viceroy Yuan was selected as negotiator as being the highest territorial authority of the district and Northern Superintendent of Trade, and the Viceroy Chang was associated with him as being the most highly-placed and influential native of Chilli. Their joint decision would be accepted by the public opinion of the country.\n\nCount Rex said it was an impossible arrangement devised purely for the purpose of blocking the whole question, and he renewed his demand, which he made under the express orders of his Sovereign, that the negotiations should be carried on by the Board of Communications in Peking.\n\n[2525 c-6]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411808, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 308, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# [This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n2\n\nThe Ministers categorically refused to agree to this. They explained that the negotiations under the new arrangement would still be carried on at Tien-tsin, and mentioned that the Decree empowered the two Viceroys to carry them on in a satisfactory manner. At the same time, they indicated the possibility of the Viceroys not accepting the duty that had been imposed upon them.\n\nIt was finally agreed to wait a few days for the reply of the Wai-wu Pu, which would be sent to the Legations as soon as the Board was officially notified of the acceptance or refusal of the appointments.\n\nThis morning, Count Rex informed me that he proposed to see Prince Ch'ing and explain to his Highness the situation. A difficulty had, he said, occurred with regard to the appointment of a Chinese Representative at Berlin, and he had instructions from his Government to make a representation to the Chinese Government on the subject. He would take the opportunity to make a statement to the Prince about the Tien-tsin-Chinkiang Railway question.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) \nJ. N.

We are of opinion that as this Agreement constitutes an Imperial undertaking, the negotiations should continue at Peking in the hands of the Yu-chuan Pu; the provinces being represented if necessary.\n\n\"Furthermore, we are of opinion that the transfer of these negotiations at the present advanced stage is arbitrary, unnecessary, and calculated to postpone indefinitely the conclusion of an Agreement which has already been discussed for five years.\n\n\"Finally, understanding that the Imperial Government has recently authorized consideration of a proposal by the Chihli gentry for their construction of the railway in question, we desire to point out that such a step would constitute a serious breach of faith.\n\n\"We request that the Chinese Government will now direct that this Agreement be negotiated to its conclusion by the Yu-chuan Pu itself at Peking, and that instructions be given to this Board to reopen negotiations without delay.\"\n\n## CHINA RAILWAYS.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.** \n`[17910]`\n\n### No. 1.\n\n307 \n[June 3] \nSECTION 7.\n\n**Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received June 3.)**\n\n(No. 189.)\n\nPeking, April 18, 1907.\n\nSir,\n\nThe accompanying extract from a local newspaper purports to give the substance of an arrangement alleged to have been made between Messrs. Pauling and Co., and a Deputy of the Military Governor of Ili, respecting the construction of a railway in that portion of the Chinese Empire. Rumours of negotiations which are supposed to be going on at Shanghae on this question with Dr. Rutherford Harris as Representative of Messrs. Pauling and Co., have appeared from time to time in the newspapers, but I have not been disposed to attach any credence to them.\n\nYesterday, however, the Russian Minister called and asked me, apparently under instructions from his Government, if there was any truth in the reports. I told M. Pokotilow that I had absolutely no knowledge of any negotiations of the kind. He said that information which had reached him from the Russian Consuls in Chinese Turkestan led him to believe that the project was being seriously entertained by the present Governor of Ili.\n\nFrom my knowledge of Messrs. Pauling and Co.'s proposals for the construction of other railways, I should say that the newspaper paragraph probably embodies the substance of an offer which has been made by their Agent; but it is very improbable that the Chinese Government, with more pressing claims to meet, will embark at present upon railway undertakings in such a remote and inaccessible part of the country.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n**Extract from \"Peking and Tien-tsin Times,\" April 18, 1907.**\n\n## NEW BRITISH SYNDICATE AND CHINA'S RAILWAYS.\n\nIt is reported that a certain British Syndicate, styled \"The Pauling Syndicate,\" is anxious and ready to advance loans to the Chinese Government or private Companies to construct railways without asking for any mortgage on the railway property, or for any control of the line, so long as the loan is securely guaranteed by some collateral security or by the Imperial Government or even by responsible gentry or private individuals.\n\nRecently, a Deputy of his Excellency the Tartar-General of Ili was in Shanghae and entered into negotiations with the Representative of the Pauling Syndicate for the construction of a railway in Ili. According to the despatch of the Deputy to the Tartar-General, the following conditions were arrived at subject to the latter's approval and that of the Peking Government:\n\n| Condition | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | The money and interest devoted to the railway undertaking is to be guaranteed by the Imperial Chinese Government without any further pledge. |\n| 2 | The cost of construction per mile is to be definitely fixed. |\n| 3 | The railway is to be completed within the contracted period; otherwise, a fine shall be imposed in accordance with the number of days delayed. |\n| 4 | The railway is to be constructed by sections. The cost of each section should be refunded to the Syndicate when such section has been handed over to the Chinese Government and is ready for trains to run on. If the whole cost of each section cannot be paid at once, it can be paid by instalments, but the unpaid portions should bear interest from date. |\n| 5 | The Chinese Government may appoint a Chinese civil engineer who will... |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411971, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 471, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# CHINA RAILWAYS\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n### [21610]\n#### No. 1.\n##### 469\n###### [July 1.]\n####### SECTION 1C.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received July 1.)**\n\n**(No. 236.)**\nSir,\n\nPeking, May 15, 1907.\n\nREFERRING to my despatch No. 186 of the 18th ultimo, I have the honour to report that Count Rex and myself have pursued the question of the Tien-tsin-Yangtsze Railway negotiations at two further interviews with the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nWhen we called together on the 7th instant, we were received by the Grand Secretary Na Tung, to whom Count Rex explained that the object of our visit was to receive the Chinese Government's reply to the protest we had delivered against the transfer of the railway negotiations into the hands of the two Viceroys, Yuan and Chang.\n\nThe Grand Secretary frankly declared that he was not in a position to give a reply, as no answer had yet been received from the Viceroys. It was explained to him that the question was not one for the Viceroys to answer, but for the Chinese Government itself, against whose action the protest had been directed. We agreed to wait a few days more for their answer, and Count Rex then proceeded to call the attention of the Board to the mischievous articles appearing in the native press on the subject of this railway. He produced a few specimens of these articles, together with a copy of the joint Syndicate's latest proposal for the final Agreement, and demanded that the Chinese Government should take steps to correct through the press the false statements which had been disseminated.\n\nThe Grand Secretary confessed that the Wai-wu Pu was in total ignorance of the concessions which the foreign negotiators had made before their work at Tien-tsin was suspended. In the absence of any official organ, he did not see how the Chinese Government could correct the inaccurate statements of the press, to which he considered Count Rex attached too much importance.\n\nAfter waiting a week, we proceeded again on the 14th instant to the Wai-wu Pu, and once more demanded a reply to our protest against the transfer of the negotiations. On this occasion, the Grand Secretary Chu Hung Chi was also present. Their Excellencies were still unable to furnish us with an answer. In order to justify themselves, they produced copies of telegrams addressed to the two Viceroys, informing them that the British and German Governments were pressing for information regarding the transfer of these negotiations, and urging the Viceroys to send a speedy reply. No reply having been received, their Excellencies could only express regret, and ask us to wait some days more.\n\nWe pointed out again that the question at issue lay in the hands of the Government. Count Rex considered that the Chinese Government, by this transfer of the negotiations, had shown its intention to block the whole proceedings, and I supported him by reminding their Excellencies that the negotiations which had been abruptly stopped by the issue of this recent Imperial Rescript, themselves rested on the basis of a preliminary Agreement approved by Imperial Decree. I asked their Excellencies to explain how international business could be conducted if it was liable at any moment to be interrupted by the issue of Imperial orders at variance with the lines of policy previously established. While prepared to treat with the highest respect the mandates of the Throne, I begged the Grand Secretary Ch'ü especially, as a member of the Grand Council, and therefore possibly the very draughtsman of this Rescript, to earnestly consider the grave consequences which this course of action must involve. The telegrams which they had shown us proved that the transfer of negotiations was evoked by a memorial of some censors acting as spokesmen for the gentry of the provinces concerned. These gentry, whose knowledge of the circumstances and of the proposals of the foreign negotiators was not likely to be greater than that of the Wai-wu Pu, had expressed the wish to construct the railway themselves. The Chinese Government had bowed before their agitation, with no consideration for the feelings of the two foreign Governments interested in the question, and had brought to a standstill negotiations which were progressing favourably, and which were within sight of completion.\n\n[2571 a-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412096, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 596, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## [This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nFinally, having reference to the concluding paragraph of your letter of the 4th instant, I am to state that during Mr. Bland's temporary absence from Peking the Chinese Central Railways are represented, as regards the Tien-tsin-Yangtsze negotiations, by Mr. Cordes, in whose knowledge, loyalty, and zeal the Board places complete confidence, an arrangement which the Board understands was communicated to, and approved by, Sir John Jordan before Mr. Bland's departure.

Like most of his countrymen, he is extremely reserved and reticent by nature, and only once during all our acquaintance have I ever seen him excited, and that was the night of the first landing of Japanese troops in Corea. Our relations here are necessarily somewhat different from what they were in Corea. There our interests were generally identical; here in commercial questions they occasionally clash, but Mr. Hayashi always contrives to be reasonable even when giving effect to the provokingly deliberate methods of his Government. He is greatly disappointed with the Chinese and pessimistic about the future.\n\nM. Bapst, the French Minister, is something of an enigma to most of his colleagues. He came here with a reputation for ability, but for some reason does not display it to the best advantage. He occasionally absents himself from meetings of his colleagues without giving any reason, and affects the same conduct in his dealings with the Chinese. For instance, he did not attend Prince Ching's birthday reception because he disliked going out to lunch. On the other hand, he is extremely agreeable, and our personal relations are very friendly. But he gives one the impression of a man who is inclined to be a stickler about small points, and who sometimes takes up a position on hasty or imperfect information and then stubbornly adheres to it. He is unmarried.\n\nThe German Minister, Count Rex, who is also a bachelor, is a comparatively recent arrival. He is a bluff, hearty Saxon of an impetuous temperament which cannot brook the delays of Chinese official procedure. In other days he would have been an admirable exponent of the mailed fist policy, and even as it is he finds some difficulty in repressing his natural inclination to resort to forcible measures. He is obliged to content himself with threats, which, although they have not the effect they once had, are still not quite lost on the Chinese. Altogether, Count Rex is the type of man for whom the Chinese official has a genuine dislike, but withal a certain amount of wholesome awe.\n\nThe Austrian Minister, Ritter von Kuczynski, is a most amiable and courteous man, but so fussy as to be a mild terror to his colleagues. He interests himself chiefly in the municipal affairs of the Legation quarter, and claims for such questions a degree of attention which some of his colleagues consider incompatible with the discharge of their other duties.\n\nBaron Grenier, the Belgian Minister, is a man about whom there is a considerable difference of opinion. He has only been here a few months. I have rather a personal liking for him, but people who know him better do not share this view, and his private life is said, with what truth I know not, to bear some resemblance to that of his Russian colleague.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) **J.

Lord Li has made no secret of the fact that he has received telegrams from the Viceroy of Canton, to whom he is related, and that his representations were based on them.\n\nThe Minister assured me that the Viceroy intended to deal seriously with the question, and begged me to make it easy for him to do so. I have therefore requested the Admiralty to inform Admiral Moore that it would not be advisable for our vessels to proceed higher up the river than they may be at present until we see whether the steps promised by the Chinese Minister induce the Viceroy to settle the questions at issue satisfactorily. At the same time I expressed my opinion to the Admiralty that the patrol should not be relaxed.\n\n2\n\n## [Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nPage 2\n\nreceived formal assurances on the point. At my last interview the Wai-wu Pu had informed me that the settlement with Germany of outstanding railway questions in Shantung was likely to cause as great a delay in the Tien-tsin-Yang-taze negotiations as that entailed by the attitude of the gentry in the case of the Soochow-Ningpo line.\n\nCount Rex replied that he had not himself been in direct communication with the Wai-wu Pu on the subject for some two months, but that he certainly understood from M. Cordes that the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze negotiations were in advance of the Soochow-Ningpo ones, and that being so, he still saw no reason why they should be delayed for the benefit of the latter. I assured him that throughout the negotiations it was perfectly understood on both sides that the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Agreement, when finally concluded, should, with the necessary alterations, be used as the text of the Soochow-Ningpo Agreement.\n\nM. Cordes came to see me a little later, and remonstrated in similar terms against his negotiations being made dependent upon ours, and inquired if I would not accept a written guarantee from the Wai-wu Pu that they would give effect to their engagement. I said that the signature of the Agreement would be the best fulfilment of the engagement.\n\n## I\n\nAt an interview with Liang Ta-jên this afternoon I again pressed the question very strongly, but found him more disinclined than ever to face the local opposition without further support than he has at present. He stated that the Chekiang gentry had telegraphed in the strongest terms demanding the right to construct the line with their own money and without the participation of foreign capital. Their position was really stronger than his, as they possessed an Imperial Decree and he had none. I remarked that the Decree was a breach of an Imperial undertaking with us, and ought never to have been issued. He assented, and said that the Wai-wu Pu adopted the same view when they agreed to enter upon negotiations with us. Finally, it was agreed that I should see Prince Ching and his Excellency Yuan Shih-k'ai, who are both at the Summer Palace, and press for the issue of a Decree which would empower Mr. Liang to deal with the question independently of the local opposition. I have accordingly applied for an interview, but as Prince Ching's son, Tsai Chên, was responsible for the Decree of the 23rd September, 1905, which has caused all the trouble, I am not very sanguine that my mission will be successful.\n\nI may add that, from a subsequent conversation which I had with Wang Ta-jên and a previous interview with the new Governor of Chekiang, who is now in Peking, I have gathered the impression that the Central Government can, if it wishes, overcome the opposition.

This does not render them justiciable by the British Consular Court, but preserves their Treaty right to be judged by their own authorities. The German rule, on the other hand, seeks to enforce submission to the German Court in all legal matters connected with the land owned in the German Concession and affecting the owner's position \"as a member of the municipal community.\"\n\nI have informed Mr. Fraser that I have referred the matter to my German colleague, who has called for Reports from his Consuls at ports where there are German Concessions.\n\nTheir replies have not yet been communicated to me, and in the meanwhile a case has arisen at Hankow of a German subject purchasing at auction a lot of land in the British Concession. In inquiring whether I will sanction this transfer, Mr. Fraser states that while the purchaser is quite prepared to fulfil the condition demanded of alien purchasers in the German Concession, the German Consular authorities would not approve such a submission to alien jurisdiction,\n\nI have accordingly refused to sanction the transfer pending a settlement of this divergence in practice between the two Concessions, and in the absence of satisfactory information as to the standing of the purchaser and the use to which the property is to be put.\n\nI have informed Count Rex, the German Minister, of this action, and we have agreed to refer the whole question to our respective Governments.\n\nI have, &c.

But he adds that the fact whether it does or will deceive people cannot be definitely ascertained until a trial has been held. \n\nI have for some time past been urging Cornes and Co., who are acting for Sir Elkanah Armitage, and their patent agent to hurry on with their case, but they say that a great deal of time is required to marshal all their facts and proofs.

ON the 27th May, 1907, Mr. Lowther, acting under the instructions of His Majesty's Government, brought to your Excellency's notice a complaint made by Messrs. A. Ross and Co., a British firm, with regard to the imitation of the \"Crocodile\" trade-mark of Sir Elkanah Armitage and Sons (Limited) by Konishi Hambei, a Japanese merchant of Osaka. \n\nKonishi Hambei had succeeded in obtaining registration of this mark in the Patent Bureau of Japan. \n\nIn your Excellency's reply of the 23rd July, 1907, to His Majesty's Government you pointed out that after inquiries had been conducted by the Department concerned it had been found that Konishi Hambei had obtained registration of the \"Crocodile mark on the 20th February, 1903, and that this mark had since been in uninterrupted use, and that as three years had elapsed since registration, the trade-mark had become final. Your Excellency went on to explain that in spite of the fact that another person had previously obtained registration abroad of a trade-mark of the same design, it was impossible under Japanese law to render the trade-mark invalid because no demand for the cancellation of the registered mark had been made by any one within three years of its registration. \n\nIt would appear to me that in coming to this decision the Department concerned had limited their investigations to the ground covered by sub-heading 5 of Article 2 of the Trade-mark Law, which says that \"a mark which is the same as or resembles a trade-mark used by another person before the operation of this Law cannot be registered,\" and Article 10, which says that if a registered trade-mark infringe Article 2 its registration shall be treated as invalid, but that this rule does not apply \n\n[1904 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417223, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 549, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[23604]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nR. 23 EP 08\n\n[July 8.]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\nSir J.

(Please see in this connection my despatch No. 152 of the 31st March). He has therefore advised the Chinese to reply that they cannot agree to Germany representing Turkish interests, though they have no objection to the German Legation forwarding to them despatches from the Sultan or the Ottoman Government, adding that they cannot recognize any claims on the part of Turkish subjects in China to extra-territorial privileges.\n\n[1865 h-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417236, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 562, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "C.O.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government]\n\nP. 23 SEF 08\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[31044]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[September 7.]\n\nSECTION 4.\n\nSir J.

Sir,\n\nPeking, July 14, 1908.\n\nWITH reference to my telegram No. 133 of the 8th inst., I have the honour to report that Sir Walter Hillier came to consult me on that day with regard to a communication which Count Rex, the German Minister, had addressed to the Wai-wu Pu, announcing that he had taken over charge of Turkish interests in China.\n\nThe Wai-wu Pu had asked Sir Walter for advice on the subject, and before giving it he wished to talk the matter over with me.\n\nWe discussed the question from various points of view—the religious, commercial, and political; but I did not attempt in any way to influence the opinion he had formed that the safest course for the Chinese Government was to inform the German Minister that, while they would be pleased to receive through the German Legation any communications which the Sultan or the Ottoman Government might address to them, they could not agree to extend extra-territorial privileges to the Turks in China.\n\nNeither Sir Walter Hillier nor I was aware at the time that the French Legation had hitherto claimed the right to represent Turkey in China, nor does the fact seem to have been known to any of my colleagues here.\n\nA day or two later, however, the French Minister informed me that he had been in the habit of obtaining passports for Turkish subjects in China, of whom there is a considerable number at Harbin and also on the Yünnan Railway, and that the German action, which must, he thought, have had its origin in Constantinople, had taken him quite by surprise.\n\nHe had telegraphed to Paris for instructions, and had been told to make no change for the present.\n\nThe Wai-wu Pu, I understand, have adopted Sir Walter Hillier's advice to the extent of verbally informing the Secretary of the German Legation, in the absence of the Minister, that they cannot accord an ex-territorialized position to Turks in China.\n\nIt may be of interest to note that the Sultan has on at least two previous occasions made an attempt to enter into direct relations with the East.\n\nIn 1890 Osman Pasha came to Japan as the bearer of a Turkish decoration to the Mikado, but the man-of-war which carried the Mission, the \"Ertogrul,\" foundered on her way between Yokohama and Kobe.\n\nA second Mission, which seems to have owed its origin to German advice, reached Shanghae in 1901, but ended in a fiasco, the Envoy, Enver Pasha, and his suite returning to Europe via Nagasaki, Vladivostock, and the Trans-Siberian Railway.\n\nAn account of the genesis of this Mission will be found in Sir Ernest Satow's despatch No. 258, Secret, of the 12th July, 1901.\n\nThere is a Turkish \"mufattish,\" or inspector, who has been sent out by the Sultan at the request of a Chinese \"mufti\" travelling in the Yang-tsze Valley at the present time, but, although there are some 16,000,000 Mahommedans in China, few of them recognize the Sultan of Turkey as their spiritual head, and the idea of Pan-Islamism finds no favour with them.\n\nWere a full measure of German protection to be extended to Turks in China it is possible that it might hamper the arrangements for the restriction of the import of Turkish opium, which were described in my despatch No. 152 of the 31st March last.\n\nThis, and the possibility that Persia might likewise place her interests in charge of the German Legation, seems to have weighed with the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nTurkey, Persia, and Siam are all countries which, like China herself, concede extra-territorial privileges to foreigners, and China foresees difficulties if she enters into relations with them on the same footing as with other Powers.\n\nSiam, for instance, over whom she once claimed a shadowy suzerainty, might seek the protection of Japan, and the anomaly of Siamese enjoying in China rights denied to Chinese in Siam is one that Chinese public opinion would keenly resent.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J.

ON the 3rd instant the news reached Tokio that the Chinese statesman, Yuan-shi-kai, had been relieved from his duties in Peking and ordered into retirement to his native province. \n\nThe news created very great excitement in Tokio, and fears were expressed that this drastic and entirely unexpected action on the part of the Prince Regent was an indication of a departure from the policy of reform which had given such satisfaction to Japan, and was likely to have very far-reaching consequences; fears were expressed that Yuan's dismissal would be very shortly followed by that of his numerous protégés and nominees, who filled various posts of the highest importance, both in Peking and in the provinces, and, indeed, would be the commencement of a coup d'État somewhat similar to the one which took place in 1898. \n\nYuan-shi-kai himself seemed to be somewhat of the same opinion, for the newspapers reported that his Excellency had fled to Tien-tsin and taken refuge in the British Consulate; the first part of this information was subsequently confirmed. The day after the publication of the news I met Count Komura at the Palace. He asked me whether I had any information from the British Representative in Peking regarding Yuan's dismissal, and then proceeded to inform me that he had received no details, but that the news was decidedly of a serious nature; he, personally, had thought at the time of the death of the Emperor, and the accession to power of the Prince Regent, that the various parties in the Central Government in Peking would some day try conclusions, but he thought that it would be some time before that struggle came to pass. He was, therefore, surprised and somewhat alarmed at the suddenness with which events seemed to be moving. \n\nTwo or three days later I again saw his Excellency, when he informed me that more reassuring news had arrived from Mr. Ijuin, the Japanese Representative in Peking, and that the Japanese Government did not now anticipate any immediate trouble. Both Chan-chi-tung and Na-tung had assured Mr. Ijuin that Yuan-shi-kai's personal safety was assured, and that there would be no dismissal of Yuan's nominees in the Government, at any rate to any extent; also that no change in the policy of reform to which the Chinese Government stood committed would take place; under the circumstances the Japanese Government were prepared to accept Yuan's dismissal as a personal question amongst the various high officials at the Court of Peking, and thought that it was due to a great extent to the part his Excellency took in the coup d'État of 1898. \n\nOn my asking whether it was correct, as reported in the newspapers, that some concerted action was contemplated in Peking on the part of the Representatives of the various Powers with regard to representations to be made respecting Yuan's dismissal, his Excellency said he understood that some such concerted action was contemplated, and he had sent instructions to the Japanese Representative to join his colleagues in any representations they might make. He added that, from his personal experience of diplomatic affairs in Peking, which was pretty extensive, he did not think concerted action would take place, because the Powers would never be able to agree on the wording and manner of presenting their representations. \n\nAs the days went by, and further news came from Peking to the effect that Yuan's dismissal had passed off quietly, and had not been followed by any dismissals of members of his party, a calmer feeling prevailed, and in Government circles and in the press it was considered that the dismissal was in reality a personal matter, and would not be followed by any change in the policy of reform or in China's relations with foreign Powers. In many of the leading newspapers it was pointed out that the rights recovery policy was one which had been inaugurated and upheld by Yuan-shi-kai and his lieutenant, Tong-shau-yi, and that this policy had been largely instrumental... \n\n[2155 \n--2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 421832, "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": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 621, "title": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# AFFAIRS OF CHINA\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n\n### No. 1\n#### C.O.\n#### December 30\n\n## SECTION 2\n### RECO MAR 09\n\nSir J.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey-(Received February 15.)\n\nPeking, January 25, 1909.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 564 of the 30th December, 1908, respecting the proposed modification of jurisdiction in the British and German Concessions in China.\n\nI am forwarding a copy of your despatch to Mr. Bourne, the Acting Judge of His Majesty's Supreme Court at Shanghae, and the Consuls-General at Hankow, Tien-tsin, and Canton, and asking them for an expression of their views on the points raised by Dr. Krieger, and in the meantime I have the honour to record briefly my own opinion on the question.\n\nDr. Krieger invites us to modify a system which has worked well for nearly forty years, and which has, I believe, been adopted by several of the other Powers holding Concessions in China, more especially Russia and France. Germany having declined to follow the example of Great Britain and the other Treaty Powers, now wishes to institute an arrangement of her own which we and all the others are expected to follow. Before we reverse our policy we should, I think, be furnished with stronger reasons than those which Dr. Krieger has given for making the change.\n\nThe Consuls will be able to speak with more authority than I can regarding the alleged difficulties in connection with the enforcement of mortgages and the execution of judgments, but I can scarcely conceive that they are seriously felt in practice, or greater stress would probably have been laid upon them in the Reports forwarded in my despatch No. 433 of the 30th September, 1908. Mortgages are registered in the offices of the British Consulates, and aliens holding land on British Concessions are, in virtue of the guarantee given by their Consuls, obliged to submit, in this respect to British jurisdiction, but between aliens, their own legal forms, procedure and decision are, as Mr. Fraser has pointed out to me, accepted by us as binding and valid. It is doubtless true that in the last resort we should, as Dr. Krieger states, claim the right to evict a foreigner who failed to carry out his covenant to observe our Municipal Regulations, but the right has never, to my knowledge, been exercised, and there seems to be no reason why the question should in practice arise.\n\nIf Dr. Krieger's contention that the system he advocates is far the most convenient to the landholders themselves is correct, it is strange that his views are not apparently held by lot-holders of his own nationality. At Tien-tsin, as Mr. Ker pointed out in his despatch of the 1st September, 1908, the instructions from Berlin have in some cases been disregarded, and both the German Consul and the German community have protested to Berlin against a policy which declined to recognize the extension of our system to the German Concession.\n\nThe German Legation here knows nothing of the difficulties mentioned by Dr. Krieger. On the receipt of your despatch, I asked my German colleague, with whom I had often before discussed the question, if he could tell me what were the real reasons for the suggestion now put forward by his Government. Count Rex confessed that he knew of none, but asked for a day or two to see if he could discover anything in his archives. To-day he told me that he had found nothing to show that our system had been attended with any difficulties in practice, but that the modification suggested by Dr. Krieger had been recommended to him by his Government when the question of aliens in the German Concession at Hankow arose last summer. The German Colony at Hankow had, however, he said, since made representations in favour of adopting our system, which he had communicated to Berlin.\n\nWhile admitting, therefore, that the German proposal, juridically viewed, may appear to be the more logical of the two, I would strongly deprecate its being entertained until the opinions of Mr. Bourne, who is an authority upon land questions, and of the Consuls-General, who are actually working the present system, are received and considered.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) J.

Satow to the Marquess of Lansdowne.-(Received November 23.) \n\nPeking, September 26, 1903. IN continuation of my despatch No. 326 of the 19th instant, I have the honour to report that the French Minister called upon me yesterday morning, and said he had instructions from his Government to consult with me for the purpose of obtaining the adoption by the Chinese Government of the proposal which he was told had been made by the Shanghae Taotai to myself. This proposal, he said, was that the Shanghae Magistrate should sit in the Mixed Court to try the prisoners in the Supao case, and that they should be condemned to imprisonment for life. \n\nI replied to M. Dubail that the suggestion as to the addition of the Shanghae Magistrate to the Mixed Court for the purpose of the trial was mentioned to me by the Taotai when I was in Shanghae on my way to Peking as a personal idea of his own, and that I had explained to him the impossibility of my undertaking to accept any proposal whatever, as I was still on leave of absence, and Mr. Townley was in charge of British interests. That I had still less agreed to a sentence of imprisonment for life, and that, on the contrary, a sentence similar to that imposed in the well-known case of the German subject Most, seemed to me adequate in the present instance. \n\nYour Lordship will remember that Mr. Mansfield's telegram (repeated in Mr. Townley's telegram No. 208) recording this conversation expressed the opinion that if the proposal (for the appointment of the Shanghae Magistrate) could be arranged at Shanghae as coming to the Consular Body from the Chinese authorities, it might offer a satisfactory solution, provided a stipulation were made beforehand that the punishment should be neither death nor perpetual imprisonment. \n\nI am at a loss, therefore, to conceive where the French Government can have derived the impression that I had given even an implied consent to a sentence of imprisonment for life. It is possible, however, that M. Dubail may have heard from the French Consul-General at Shanghae that this proposal had been made by the Taotai to the United States' Consul-General, as is the case, and that he had mixed up in his mind the two conversations with myself and with the United States' Consul-General respectively. \n\nI informed M. Dubail that I was still waiting to hear from Prince Ch'ing the result of the telegram which his Highness had on the 9th instant promised to send to the Viceroy of Nanking recommending him to reconsider the Taotai's proposal. \n\nI told him I had learnt that about the 24th August last the Taotai had called on Mr. Goodnow, the United States' Consul-General at Shanghae, and had made to him, as Senior Consul, the following proposition, which, if acceptable to him, he was prepared to recommend to the Viceroy: namely, that the three subordinates connected with the \"Supao\" printing office should be set at liberty, the men accused of participation in the insurrectionary movement at Hankow in 1900 be severely punished, the two authors of the pamphlets quoted in the Supao articles to be condemned to imprisonment for life, and a seventh person, the son of the editor-in-chief of the \"Supao,\" who by representing himself to be the editor had given his father time to effect his escape, be punished, but less severely. \n\nI observed to M. Dubail that this seventh accused, of whose arrest we have never heard, was mentioned for the first time in this conversation with Mr. Goodnow, that though the two men had been induced to avow the authorship of the pamphlets, it had not been proved that they were responsible for the publication, and in any case punishment could not be fixed, except hypothetically, before the offence of publication was proved. \n\nMy French colleague then reverted to the position he had taken up in our previous conversation, and expressed a preference for the policy of informing the Chinese Government that the surrender of these men must be refused on the ground that they are political offenders. But, as he justly added, the Chinese might then argue that the offence, whatever it was, having been committed on Chinese soil, the rules governing the extradition of offenders did not apply, and that this would lead to an interminable discussion. \n\nI answered that I had no desire to enter upon a discussion of principles with the Chinese Government, which might branch out in all directions. My instructions were to refuse to deliver up the accused and to insist upon their being tried before the Mixed Court, but I was authorized to agree to the appointment of the Shanghae Magistrate to try the case. If, however, he were disposed to put forward a suggestion to the Diplomatic Body that we should adopt the line of action he indicated, I would ask your Lordship for fresh instructions. \n\nM. Dubail said that he did not wish to take a leading part in the matter, and would prefer not to put forward any proposal in his own name. \n\nI observed that nothing had come of the proposal of Count Gallina to leave negotiations with the Chinese Government in the hands of the three Ministers who had been addressed on the subject by the foreign Board, most of the Diplomatic Body, including himself, having simply written \"vu\" on the Circular of the Doyen (inclosed in my despatch No. 330 of the 24th September last). \n\nMy colleague replied that \"vu\" in his case implied that he had no objection to the proposal, and that he was ready to agree to any course that would put an end to the present deadlock. \n\nI said that if each Minister would instruct his Consul to concert with Mr. Goodnow a reply to the Viceroy's letter of the 30th August last, declining to surrender the prisoners, the ground would be cleared for the Taotai's proposal being made officially. But as I expected to see Prince Ch'ing and hear from him the result of his telegram to the Viceroy, perhaps it would be better to wait a few days before broaching this idea to our colleagues. \n\nM. Dubail said he was quite willing to wait for the Viceroy's reply. \n\nI regret to state, however, that on my asking the Prince yesterday what reply he had received, he said that nothing had come, and I am inclined to think that in the press of other anxieties, he had forgotten to carry out his promise. \n\nUnder the circumstances, I think there is nothing more to be done for the next few days, but to wait and see whether Prince Ch'ing can induce the Viceroy to approve the Taotai's proposal. \n\n## No. 46. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n**(Signed)** \nERNEST SATOW. \n\n## Sir E.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received June 14.) \n**(No. 159. Confidential.)**\nPeking, April 17, 1909.\n\nIN compliance with the instructions contained in your circular despatch (B) of the 9th April, 1906, and in continuation of my despatch No. 267 of the 1st June, 1907, I have the honour to offer the following observations regarding the heads of the foreign missions in Peking.\n\nThe doyen of the diplomatic corps, M. de Carcer, has already been described in the last report. He is an extremely agreeable good-natured man and performs his duties as doyen in a careful and conscientious manner and with as great a degree of efficiency as is possible considering that he has no staff.\n\nMme. de Carcer has been an invalid for some time past.\n\nMr. Rockhill, the United States Minister, who was also noticed in the last report, is credited with pro-Chinese and somewhat anti-Japanese sentiments, and has played a considerable part during the year in endeavouring to influence Chinese policy in Manchuria. His advice is often sought by the Chinese on general questions of foreign policy, and is occasionally too favourable to the Chinese point of view to meet with general acceptance from his colleagues. He has had much experience as a traveller and is a man of wide culture and extensive reading, but these advantages are counter-balanced to some extent by a certain lack of reticence and a tendency to vacillation in his judgment. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rockhill are very popular and highly esteemed members of Peking society.\n\nCount Rex, the German Minister, is a bluff hearty Saxon, who has no great liking for work and only a very superficial knowledge of China. He is usually invisible from 2 to 4 every afternoon in winter and spends his summers at Peitaho. In dealing with public affairs he trusts to bluster rather than argument to carry his point, and is certainly deeply imbued with a sense of the predominant importance of his own country. Germany profits by the fact that she is the only Power which has entered into no political arrangements with regard to China, and Count Rex is not slow to exploit this advantage. He is, on the whole, fairly popular with the community and well liked by his own nationals.\n\nMr. Ijuin, the Japanese Minister, may be described as a solid hard-headed Japanese, with a good deal of quiet determination and rather less than the usual Japanese secretiveness. He came here with a good reputation which he had acquired as consul-general at Tien-tsin, but found that times had changed during his absence and that the Chinese had become much more difficult to deal with. So far he has had but meagre success in the settlement of outstanding questions, but relations have improved between the two neighbouring Empires during the time he has been here.\n\nM. Korostovetz came here as Minister for Russia in September 1908, but had had previous experience of China as second secretary of the Legation in 1893-4 and again as political adviser to Admiral Alexieff at Port Arthur in 1900. His frankness almost borders on indiscretion, but he is, so far as my experience of him, which is considerable, goes, perfectly honest and straightforward. He was never an advocate of the adventurous anti-British policy pursued by the Russians in China, and is therefore better adapted than his predecessor for playing the somewhat subordinate rôle now assigned to the Russian Minister at Peking. Both he and his wife are unpretentious people, thoroughly kind and hospitable, and generally respected by the community.\n\nM. Boissonnas, the French chargé d'affaires, who is now acting in that capacity for the second time, is a thoroughly sensible practical man with whom it is a pleasure to transact business. He is moderate in his attitude, but by no means wanting in firmness, and possesses what his predecessor, M. Bapst, lacked—the spirit of accommodation necessary to get on with the Chinese. Mme. Boissonnas is an extremely charming and popular lady and immensely wealthy, judged by Peking standards.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422858, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 261, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## CHINA RAILWAYS\n### CONFIDENTIAL\n\nNo. 1.\n\nAlthough there appears little probability of amalgamating into one combine all these diverse British elements, there is, in my opinion great room for increased efficiency on the part of the British and Chinese Corporation and for fuller co-operation between it and the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank.

Jordan. \nShanghae, June 3, 1909. \nI HAVE the honour to continue my despatch No. 43 of the 1st June, forwarding copies of correspondence relating to the affairs of the Whangpoo Conservancy.\n\nThe minority report presented by the consul-general for Germany at the meeting (which took place on the 30th April, vide my despatch No. 40) of the consular committee appointed to consider the affairs of the conservancy was adopted at the seventh meeting the consular body by a majority of five--eight for, three against, and four neutral. At the following meeting of the consular body, M. Müller's motion was, after further discussion, rejected by a majority of three-nine for, six against, and one neutral, and it was decided not to forward the proposal to Peking.\n\nLetters from the Chamber of Commerce and the China Association (Inclosures 1 and 2 in my despatch No. 43) have had something to do with the change of front on the part of certain consuls, who at first had voted with M. Müller.\n\nI have, &c. \nPELHAM L. WARREN.\n\nPeking, July 22, 1909. \nWITH reference to my despatch No. 221 of the 23rd ultimo, I have the honour to report that the affairs of the Whangpoo Conservancy were discussed at the last meeting of the diplomatic body held on the 9th instant.\n\nIt will be within your recollection that, as stated in my despatch No. 199 of the 27th May last, M. de Rijke, the chief engineer in charge of the conservancy work, requires a further sum of some 8,089,765 dollars for the improvements to be carried out within the next five years, and the diplomatic body had consequently to examine and decide the question as to whether, and if so in what manner, they should ask the Chinese Government to provide this sum.\n\nOn the 14th ultimo the dean of the diplomatic body circulated a letter which he had received from M. von Mutius, writing in the name of Count Rex. A copy of this letter, together with my observations upon it, is inclosed herewith for your information. You will observe that I was unable to agree with the proposal which, if adopted, would, in my opinion, have cast unmerited discredit on M. de Rijke. His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghae has kept me fully informed of the situation at Shanghae, and I gather that M. de Rijke has performed, and is performing, his duty in a manner which commends itself to the shipping community, that his scheme of improvement is well thought of, and that the opposition from German quarters is really not due to any misgivings as to the efficacy of his methods, but to the desire to get the control of so important a concern into German hands. Sir Pelham Warren informs me that the Germans in Shanghae have persistently placed every obstacle in the way of M. de Rijke, whose appointment was not agreeable to them. A German engineer was sent out by the German Government in the hope that he would be employed by the Conservancy Board, and when M. de Rijke was appointed engineer-in-chief this gentleman applied for a post under him. The application was not entertained, nor was a German tender for the dredging contract accepted, although it was the lowest. Indeed, its rejection was due to the low prices quoted, as it was impossible to do the work at those rates except at a loss, and it seemed obvious to the Conservancy Board that the tender was made for political reasons with the support of the German Government.\n\nThe opinion which I expressed on M. von Mutius' letter was fortunately shared by a majority of my colleagues, and M. von Mutius accordingly declared at the meeting on the 9th instant that Count Rex had had no other object in view than to \"tirer la question au clair,\" and that he desired to withdraw his proposal, since his colleagues did not wish to discuss M. de Rijke's scheme. The only question before us was, therefore, that of ways and means.\n\nI explained to my colleagues the difficulties which occurred to my mind in this connection. According to the information in my possession, which I had taken care to verify by a reference to our consul-general at Shanghae, the position was as follows. The Conservancy Board will have received by the year 1925 twenty annual payments (under the agreement of 1905) of 400,000 Haikwan taels, or a total of 10,248,800 Shanghae taels. By the year 1911 they will also have received payment of a loan of 4,500,000 taels, which they contracted last year. This loan, bearing interest at 7 per cent., is payable in quarterly instalments in three years, and repayment of the capital commences at the expiry of that period, viz., in 1911, and is spread over a further period of fourteen years until 1925. Thus the total sum to be received by the Conservancy Board, under present arrangements, is 14,748,800 taels. The liabilities appear to be :-\n\n* Expended up to December 31, 1908. \n* Unpaid balances of contract \n* Interest on loan of 4,500,000 taels for 17 years, allowing for repayment of capital \n* Repayment of loan of 4,500,000 taels \n\n| Taels | |\n| --- | --- |\n| | 2,911,665 |\n| | 2,557,030 |\n| | 8,340,084 |\n| | 4,500,000 |\n| Total | 13,308,729 |\n\nleaving a balance in the Conservancy's favour of 1,440,071 taels. \n[2391-10]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423349, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 752, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## Minutes respecting Hukuang Loan Agreement, September 30, 1909\n\nRec 25 OCT 09\n\nTHE German councillor of embassy called to say that his Government wished to recommend to our favourable consideration a suggestion of their financial group that the agreement with the Chinese for the Hukuang loan should be concluded at once, leaving the disputed question as to the engineers for the different sections to be settled later, as they feared that the illness of Chang Chih Tung might at any moment terminate fatally, and that then the whole matter would be postponed indefinitely.\n\nMr. Addis called this afternoon and we discussed this suggestion.\n\nThe point is that the Germans admitted the participation of the Americans in the extension beyond Ichang, and that it is only fair that all three should give up something in order to allow of this participation. We only agreed to let them have the Hupeh section on their agreeing that the extension beyond should be shared between ourselves and the French. The Hupeh section was to be the German share.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received October 18.)\n\nPeking, September 29, 1909.\n\nTHE question of the provision of funds for the conservancy of the Whangpoo, which formed the subject of my despatch No. 266 of the 22nd July last, was again brought up for discussion at a meeting of the diplomatic body held on the 15th instant. A report from the chief engineer to the Conservancy Board, detailing the exact financial position of that body and their requirements, had already been circulated among my colleagues by the dean, and also been communicated to me by His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghae* in a despatch, copy of which I have the honour to enclose. It remained, therefore, to decide whether the Chinese Government should be asked to provide the sums required, and, if so, in what manner the demand should be pressed upon the attention of the Wai-wu Pu. I am glad to be able to report that upon the first part of the question there was practically a unanimous decision in favour of approaching the Chinese Government, and that, although the German Minister at first expressed some doubt as to whether so large a sum was really required, he raised no active objections, although he is known to view M. de Rijke and his plans with disfavour. With regard to the manner in which the demand for funds should be presented, it was felt that the Chinese Government had morally incurred the obligation to defray the cost of all necessary improvements, and that consequently the demand should be couched in language implying that such an obligation existed. It will be remembered that a definite scheme for the creation of a Conservancy Board and the provision of funds for improvements was sanctioned in article 11B of the protocol of September 1901, and that the details of this arrangement, contained in annexe 17 to the protocol, provided that the foreign interests involved should be represented upon the board to be created, and should contribute one-half of the cost of the works. In spite of repeated representations, the Chinese Government could never be brought to carry out their share of the arrangement, which they considered derogatory to China's dignity and sovereign rights, and it was upon their own request to have sole control of the enterprise that the agreement of 1905 was concluded, which vested all authority in a board composed of the Taotai and commissioner of customs at Shanghae, and transferred to the Chinese authorities the duty of providing the whole of the yearly subsidy of 460,000 Haikwan taels.\n\nA committee was appointed, consisting of the Austrian (dean of the diplomatic body), German, and Japanese Ministers, and myself, to draw up a memorandum for presentation to the Wai-wu Pu at a personal interview, when verbal representations would also be made. Accordingly on the 21st instant the dean, accompanied by Mr. Ijuin, Count Luxburg, and myself, proceeded to the Wai-wu Pu, and communicated to the Ministers present (Na-t'ung, Liang Tun-yen, and Lien-fang) the memorandum, copy of which is enclosed herewith for your information. It is perhaps worthy of note that the German Minister did not attend, but sent the first secretary of the legation in his place. It may be that Count Rex was really indisposed on that day, but I am inclined to think that his absence was due to a desire not to identify himself too strongly with the prosecution of a scheme which has his assent, but not his whole-hearted approval.\n\nHis Excellency Liang showed considerable reluctance to adopt the views of M. de Kuczynski, who urged upon him the necessity for immediate measures. He admitted that the needs of the situation were pressing, but said that the sum required was very large, and that the Chinese Government would require time to consider so important a matter. He also expressed a want of confidence in the manner in which the work was being carried out, with special reference to the unfortunate case of malpractices in connection with the dredging operations (see my despatch No. 30 of the 18th January last).\n\n* Not printed.\n\n[2462 & -2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423615, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 219, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "# \n\n218 \n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government \n\n5 \n\nA 2 DEC 09 \n\n[November 22.] \n\nCHINA RAILWAYS. \n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.** \n\n[42746] \n\nNo. 1. \n\nSECTION 1. \n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received November 22.) \n\n(No. 402.) Sir, \n\nPeking, November 4, 1909. \n\nI HAVE the honour to report that the United States chargé d'affaires, in the course of a visit which he paid to me on the 26th ultimo, read to me a telegram which he had received from Washington, giving an account of an interview which the United States Ambassador in London had had with yourself and Sir Francis Campbell, and containing a summary of a memorandum which you had furnished to the Ambassador defining our position with regard to the Hukuang Railway loan.\n\nI explained to Mr. Fletcher the reasons which necessitated the rearrangement of the engineering sections of the Ichang-Chengtu line and the contribution by the German group of their share towards the loss occasioned by American participation. If the Germans agreed to give up the section of 200 kilom. from Kuangshui to Hsiang-yang, an equitable arrangement could probably be made which would satisfy all parties.\n\nMr. Fletcher seemed to regard our attitude as reasonable and natural, and said my explanations would enable him to contradict the assertions of the Chinese, that it was the British who were obstructing a settlement.\n\nTwo days later I called at the American Legation to ascertain if any further developments had taken place. Mr. Fletcher told me that he had communicated the substance of our conversation to Mr. Straight, who had seen Mr. Cordes, and given him to understand that some concession on the part of the Germans was necessary for the conclusion of the loan negotiations. I understood Mr. Fletcher to say that, after making much difficulty, Mr. Cordes had eventually agreed to recommend his group to give up their engineering rights over the Kuangshui-Hsiangyang section.\n\nMr. Fletcher had also spoken to the German Minister, Count Rex, who, without committing himself definitely to any course of action, had conveyed the impression that, if consulted, he would offer no objection to the recommendation which Mr. Cordes had agreed to make.\n\nA memorandum which Mr. Straight on the following day handed to Mr. Hillier, and of which a copy is enclosed, gave the arrangement a different complexion. According to this, the German abandonment of the Kuangshui-Hsiangyang section was far from complete, and was to be made in favour of America, and not of the common interests of the three groups. An American chief engineer was to be appointed for this section, but he was to co-operate with and be under the general direction of the German chief engineer of the entire Hupei section, as provided by the terms of the original agreement.\n\nIn the event of the railway being extended to Chengtu, the first section of 500 kilom. was to be constructed by a French engineer, the second section of 600 kilom. by an American engineer, and the third section of 500 kilom. by a British engineer.\n\nI authorised Mr. Hillier to inform Mr. Straight that the arrangement differed considerably from the description of it given to me by the United States chargé d'affaires, and that it did not appear to afford a satisfactory solution of the difficulty.\n\nThe Americans were receiving an actual 200 kilom. of construction for the abandonment of a potential 200, but that was a small point. What seemed more important was that the disposal of the section abandoned by the Germans should be given either to the Chinese Central Railways or be left to the decision of the three groups.\n\nThe accompanying extract from a private letter from His Majesty's consul-general at Hankow shows the effect which the provincial agitation against a foreign loan is having upon the Board of Communications here.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

His Excellency expressed the hope that as a settlement on the above lines was understood to be in harmony with the proposals of His Majesty's Government the latter would invite the British group to sign the agreement.\n\nA reply was returned to this communication to the effect that an arrangement of the kind described was in fact agreeable to His Majesty's Government. It was, however, pointed out that information furnished by Mr. Whitelaw Reid did not appear to be in accordance with the views of the Imperial Government as given in your Excellency's memorandum of the 5th November, but the hope was expressed that the former was of more recent date, as the arrangement proposed by Mr. Straight was one to which His Majesty's Government would have no difficulty in adhering.\n\nI am in the circumstances prepared to send instructions to His Majesty's Minister at Peking to concert with his colleagues as to obtaining the extension from the Chinese Government, and I have the honour to inquire whether the German representative at Peking will receive similar instructions.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nE.

As far as America was concerned, he added, China must not expect the United States to bear the whole brunt of the struggle between Chinese and Japanese in Manchuria, and it is for China to decide whether she will allow the Japanese to participate, or whether, in the event of Japanese opposition, she is sufficiently anxious for the railway as to proceed to its construction on her own account.\n\n[217] cc-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428159, "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": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 84, "title": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Govt.\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\nC.O.\n\n83\n\nREC.

Isvolsky, the day before yesterday, the substance of your telegram No. 1375 of the 30th December, so far as it related to the attitude of His Majesty's Government towards the project of the Chen-Chow-Aigun Railway. I told his Excellency that he would have doubtless received from Count Benckendorff your views as to the scope and bearing of the engagements of 1899, so that I need not refer to that point.\n\nM. Isvolsky read to me a telegram from Count Benckendorff, reporting a conversation which he had had with Sir F. Campbell, which seemed to accord very fairly with the observations which you were good enough to convey to me in your above-mentioned telegram in respect to the interpretation placed by His Majesty's Government on the undertakings of the Russian and British Governments respectively, as recorded in the notes of 1899. As M. Isvolsky appeared to take no exception to the terms of the communication from Count Benckendorff, I did not consider it necessary to make any remarks myself.\n\nI observed to his Excellency that he was now in possession of the views and attitude of His Majesty's Government, and of their readiness to see Russia and Japan participate in the enterprise, and I asked him whether he could inform me in what light the Russian Government regarded the project.\n\nM. Isvolsky said that in the first place he much doubted if the Japanese Government would be willing to associate themselves with the undertaking, as he conceived that it would compete seriously with their Manchurian line. As to the view of the Russian Government, he could not at present give me any indication, the question being one which would require the most careful study. The proposed line might or might not injure the Russian railway commercially and also affect the interest of Russia at Harbin. On these points he could as yet give no definite opinion. There were furthermore the strategical questions to be taken into consideration, and to these he appeared to attach the greater importance. I remarked that if Russia were to take part in the enterprise and acquired an interest in the railway the strategical difficulties would be largely modified, while if Japan were also to participate, the line, which would then be an international undertaking, would be practically neutralised, and be no longer a source of danger. His Excellency replied that he could express no opinion on these points, as they were matters on which experts should decide. As he evidently did not wish to be drawn into a conversation I thought it best to drop the matter, and I turned to other questions.\n\nI was agreeably surprised to find M. Isvolsky much less perturbed than he had been on former occasions, and his demeanour was far different from that which he had assumed when he had previously spoken on the subject. He had raised such strong objections to the project in his conversations with the American Ambassador, and had spoken to me also in such serious tones, that I fully anticipated that he would express once more his disapprobation of the whole scheme, and request that we should not advocate the project. It is possible that he may recur to his former attitude, and that he for the moment does not wish to compromise himself in any way until he has examined and discussed the matter fully with the competent authorities.\n\nHe made no mention on this last occasion of the part which China was playing, and it is just possible that he may have hopes that the Chinese Government will not accord their consent to the concession; and in that case he would naturally view the situation with calmness.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nA.

To this the United States Government had replied on the 16th December that they considered no time should be lost in placing their proposal before the Powers interested, and that instructions would at once be issued to the American representatives at Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburgh, Peking, and Tokyo in the above sense. They further said in their reply that they were quite prepared to join His Majesty's Government as a preliminary step in urging China to consent to participation in the Chin-chow-Tsitsihar-Aigun Railway by Japan and other Powers interested.\n\nIn the Foreign Office bag received here on the 30th ultimo I observed in the Confidential Print the American memorandum of the 9th November and the reply of His Majesty's Government dated the 25th November. I am therefore now in possession of all the facts, and would venture to make a few observations on the internationalisation proposal put forward by the American Government.\n\nAt the New Year's reception at the Palace I had a further conversation with Count Komura, who repeated the declaration he had made to me at our previous meeting on Christmas Day, to the effect that the Japanese Government would decline to consider internationalisation in so far as the South Manchurian, the Mukden-Antung, and the Kirin-Hoiryong Railways were concerned, for reasons fully set forth in my above-quoted despatch. In a subsequent conversation I had with Marquis Katsura, the Prime Minister, his Excellency confirmed the statement made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and added the somewhat interesting piece of information that this question of internationalisation of Chinese railways had been first mooted by the late railway magnate, Mr. Harriman, when on a visit to Tokyo in 1905; but the Japanese Government had even then refused to entertain it. Mr. Rockhill, American representative, and Mr. Harriman had doubtless discussed the matter in Peking, and the former gentleman had seemingly always kept the idea before him, for he was believed to be the prime mover in the matter now.\n\nIt is difficult to fathom the intentions of the American Government in now bringing forward this scheme, unless—which is more than probable—they are jealous and alarmed at the manner in which Japan is making her position secure in Manchuria, for it must be evident to them that internationalisation could or would not be entertained by the Japanese. The Treaty of Portsmouth, to which they were the first to give their assent, must clearly have shown them the value the Japanese set on the South Manchurian Railway; they must have been equally aware of the provisions of the Peking Protocol of 1905—secret at the time, but, so far as article 6 is concerned, for some considerable time no longer so. The action taken by the Japanese last summer in threatening to commence the construction of the Antung-Mukden line, and the carrying out of the provisions of the said article 6 with or without permission of China, must have shown to the whole world the importance the Japanese set by this line. The terms of the agreement of the 3rd September last,\n\n[2631 -1]\n\nPage 324 appears three times at top and three times at bottom, indicating page metadata.\n\nPage 325\n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428514, "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": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 439, "title": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n\n436\n\n[B]\n\n# CHINA RAILWAYS\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n(7625)\n\nNo. 1.\n\n8011\n\nREC\n\nREGP18 MAR 10)\n\n[March 5.]\n\n## SECTION 2.\n\nSir C. MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received March 5.) (No. 33. Very Confidential.) Sir,\n\nTokyo, February 5, 1910.\n\nAT Count Komura's last weekly reception his Excellency spoke to me on the subject of the Chinchow-Aigun Railway, the Russian views regarding which had just reached the Japanese Government. His Excellency said that, as I was aware, his Government were from the first averse to the building of the railway, because they considered it would compete with the South Manchurian. They were, however, well aware that in the matter of this railway the case which they could put forward was nothing like as strong as the one which they successfully pressed in the matter of the Hsin-min-tun-Fakumen extension. In the first place the starting-point of the railway, Chinchow, was upwards of 100 miles from the South Manchurian, and as the railway progressed the distance became greater. As to the Tsitsihar argument, it was true that traffic from the west would be diverted, much in the same way as it would in the Fakumen extension, but not to the same extent. Besides, the Japanese Government recognised that this was an argument which might apply to any feeder of the Chinese Eastern Railway to the south, and therefore could not be pressed. This being the case, and also because an English firm of contractors was interested, they were prepared to withdraw their opposition and consent to the construction of the railway, provided they were allowed a certain measure of participation in financing and construction. How much participation, or what form it would take, they could not, of course, possibly state definitely until they knew something more about the line. At present they knew nothing, or next to nothing.\n\nSince receiving the Russian objections to the construction of the line, his Excellency was of opinion that the matter had taken an altogether different complexion, and if negotiations were to be commenced they would have to take place on an altogether different and, his Excellency thought, a more complicated basis.\n\nThere can be no doubt that the Russian objections to the line will receive the cordial support of the Japanese Government, and that the whole question raised by the American Government of railways in Manchuria is having the effect of establishing very close relations between Japan and Russia.\n\nIn selecting this trace for the railway, more particularly when the line was continued from Tsitsihar to Aigun, Mr. Straight and his associates seem to have courted disaster. It is inconceivable how they could have hoped that, under the circumstances, such a line would not have been strongly opposed by both Russia and, in only a slightly lesser degree, by Japan. It is possible that they were aware of the prospective opposition, and for this reason the preliminary agreement was made secretly, but this secrecy could not be maintained, and if, as it is stated, the Imperial consent has been given to the construction of the railway, the outlook is not reassuring.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nCLAUDE M.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received March 7.)\n\nPeking, February 15, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit to you herewith a copy of the identic note which, in conjunction with the German and French Ministers, I have addressed to the Chinese Government with reference to the issue of an Imperial edict referring to the Board of Communications an application from certain native capitalists for a concession to build the Hupei section of the Hankow-Canton and the Hankow-Szechuan Railways, together with a literal translation of the edict in question.\n\nMr. Hillier spoke to me on the subject the day after the edict was published, but, as I explained to you in my telegram No. 21 of the 5th February, I thought it best to endeavour to ascertain what action, if any, the Board of Communications was likely to take on the edict, as I was unwilling needlessly to give the Chinese Government an opportunity of asking awkward questions as to our preparedness to sign the initialled agreement. My impression of the real object of the edict, of which the version contained in your telegram No. 21 of the 2nd February appeared to give rather an exaggerated idea, was that it was a convenient means of shelving an inconvenient application, and this impression has been subsequently confirmed by Liang Shih-yi, Director-General of Railways, who said that the board would not take any action on the edict. However, the German Minister having received instructions to make a formal protest, and having been erroneously informed that I had already been similarly instructed, the French Minister and I thought it better to ask authority to join in addressing a mild identic note to the Chinese Government calling attention to the terms of the edict as conflicting with the spirit of the agreement of the 6th June, Count Rex said that he had gathered from Prince Ching that such a step would not be acceptable to the central Government as strengthening their hands in dealing with the opposition in the provinces, while we were all alive to the possible danger involved in passing by the edict in total silence. Count Rex subsequently agreed to tone down the rather peremptory terms of the note as originally drafted by him, so as to enable M. de Margerie and me to send notes couched in identic terms. I have little doubt that the action of the bankers here was largely influenced by the hope of thus bringing home to their respective groups the great danger of further delay in arriving at an acceptable agreement among themselves.\n\nI have, &c.

Sir,\n\nMr. Max Müller to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received May 9.)\n\nPeking, April 22, 1910.\n\nAS I have informed you by my telegram No. 84 of to-day's date, an identic note protesting against the permission granted by the Board of Communications for the formation of a native company to collect capital for the construction of the Hupei railways has at last been sent into the Wai-wu Pu by my French and German colleagues and myself.\n\nI have now the honour to transmit herewith a translation of the statement issued by the Board of Communications (Yu Chuan Pu) on the 24th ultimo. Its wording is exceedingly vague, perhaps intentionally so, but the upshot appears to be that a provincial company is to be formed for the construction of the Hupei railways on the same plan as the provincial railway companies which are already constructing railways in Kuangtung and Hunan. It was a reply to the petition which formed the subject of our identic note of the 12th February, and was extorted by great pressure on the part of the Hupei delegates, exercised in true Chinese fashion. Li Ta-chen, I am informed, established himself on a mat in the court-yard of the house of Hsu Shih-chang, the president of the Board, and remained there three days refusing food and drink, while two Hupei soldiers threatened to commit suicide at the Board of Communications. Be that as it may, the result was that the notice was issued and actually posted on the doors of the Yu Chuan Pu, while the delegates departed rejoicing to Hupei, and the native papers all joined in a pan of victory over the foreigner.\n\nThe possible establishment of such a provincial railway company appeared to me to open the door to a repetition in Hupei of all the difficulties we have experienced in Kiangsu and Chekiang in connection with the Shanghae-Ningpo Railway Loan Agreement, and I thought that it was inadvisable to allow this step on the part of the Chinese Government to pass unnoticed, and in this view my French and German colleagues concurred. I was therefore much astonished when M. de Margerie informed me that he had been instructed not to join in any fresh protest, and I felt that, under the circumstances, it was best to do nothing, as I attached far greater importance to not giving the Chinese Government any reason to believe that on this point also there was disagreement between the European groups, and, besides, we always had our protest of the 12th February to fall back on.\n\nWhen, finally, on the 18th April, M. de Margerie got his instructions to join in an identic note, we encountered unexpected opposition from Count Luxburg, the secretary temporarily in charge of the German Legation, and it was with difficulty that we persuaded him to join in the mild note of enquiry rather than of protest, which I now have the honour to enclose.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

As these railways concerned several provinces, it was found inconvenient that the railways should be divided up at the boundaries of each province. But the collection of capital is a necessary preliminary to the construction of a railway, and since Li Ta Chün and others of the Hupei gentry have petitioned\n\n[2761 i-1]\n\nPage 2\n\nSite Alain etio is thevetna so\n\nشما یک ایران ایرانی داد", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429139, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 480, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n\nDear Mr. Grenfell,\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMr. C.

Sir,\n\nPeking, June 28, 1910.\n\nIN my despatch No. 98 of the 7th April I said that I had been given to understand that there was little probability of my colleagues taking any action in regard to the works of the Whangpoo Conservancy till after the receipt of the report on M. de Rijke's scheme, which is being drawn up by Sir J. Wolfe-Barry, Sir W. Matthews, and Mr. Lyster.\n\nI found, however, that I had been mistaken, as in the early days of May the Austrian Minister, in his capacity of doyen, informed me that he and the German Minister had now received instructions as to the line they were to pursue in negotiations with the Chinese Government for the completion of the Whangpoo Conservancy work, and enquired whether I was prepared to attend a meeting of the heads of missions principally interested in the question.\n\nAccordingly on the 31st ultimo the German, Japanese, French, and American Ministers and myself met, under the presidency of M. de Kuczynski, to discuss the question.\n\nI need not trouble you with full details of the lengthy discussion, but it soon became apparent that neither the German nor the Austrian Ministers was prepared either to adopt the de Rijke scheme in toto or to request the Chinese Government to complete the conservancy work to the extent and within the limits stated in the final protocol of 1901, which would have been the natural corollary to the note of the diplomatic body of the 14th December last.\n\nCount Rex explained that, in the opinion of his Government, it would not be correct to urge the Chinese Government to provide more funds, seeing that they had already paid the amounts stipulated in the 1905 agreement, but that the proper course to pursue was to endeavour by friendly means to prove to the Chinese that it was in their own interest to complete the works.\n\nM. de Kuczynski said that he had received similar instructions, with this difference, that his Government held that if the friendly representations failed, it would be necessary to request the Chinese Government to return to the conditions of the 1901 protocol and contribute to the carrying on of the works until their final completion.\n\nCount Rex then admitted that his instructions also authorised him to join in such action, if absolutely necessary and as a last resort.\n\nAll the representatives appeared to agree that, in the present state of the works, it was impossible to consider the Whangpoo Conservancy as completed, and it was, therefore, decided that the first thing to do was to ascertain from the Chinese Government (1) whether they regarded the works as completed or not; and (2) if not, what works they considered must still be executed. This would be done by requesting the Chinese Government to communicate to us officially the report of the Chinese commissioner, to whom I referred in the last paragraph of my despatch No. 98 of the 7th April.\n\nI pointed out, however, that this report, if received, would probably be of a technical nature, and deal with subjects on which we should be incompetent to pass judgment without further expert advice, and it appeared to me that we might equally well wait for the report of the three great English authorities at present under preparation.\n\nIt then appeared that my German and Austrian colleagues were not prepared to attach much weight to this report, for the absurd reason that it would not be the result of international collaboration, and had not been drawn up at the request of either the diplomatic or consular body or of the conservancy board.\n\nThe German Minister held that, if necessary, the Chinese report should be submitted to an international expert commission on which Germany would insist on having a delegate, and this delegate was evidently to be the technical attaché to the German Consulate-General, who has, I believe, been the prime mover in all the German...\n\n* Not printed.\n\n[2827 »-1]\n\n476\n\nPage 480\n\nPage 481", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429180, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 521, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "[B]\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n517\n\n25499\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[27717]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nRECD [August 2.] REG 19 AUG 10,\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n¡\n\nMr. Max Müller to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received August 2.)\n\n(No. 226.)

Mr. Calhoun of course omitted from his note the reference to the protests of the 12th February and 22nd April as the American Legation did not join in them.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nI have already, in my despatches No. 140 of the 4th May and No. 165 of the 25th May, expressed my views as to the difficulty we are likely to encounter in inducing the Chinese Government to accede to the request embodied in our identic note, and unless Mr. Calhoun, under instructions from his Government, changes his attitude, I do not think that we can look for much assistance from the American Legation in attaining our end. Mr. Calhoun has on two occasions tried to persuade me that the moment is singularly inopportune for presenting our scheme to the Chinese Government, as being likely to lead to a recrudescence of trouble in Hupei and Hunan, and the German Minister wrote only a few days ago that Mr. Calhoun was unwilling to join in the identic note and had referred again to his Government for instructions. He seems entirely oblivious of the fact that, but for the intervention of the United States Government at the last moment, the whole matter would have been settled more than a year ago and both the railways would already have been under construction.\n\nThe first secretary of the American Legation told me this morning that they looked on the dispatch of the identic note as a mere formality, not likely to lead to any result, and that, as far as he knew, his Minister did not propose to make any further representations on the subject.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

G. MAX MÜLLER.\n\nMemorandum on the Heads of Missions at Peking.\n\nAustria-Hungary.-M. de Kuczynski, the Austrian Minister, became deyen of the diplomatic body on the recall of M. de Carcer last summer.\n\nM. de Kuczynski has been described by Sir John Jordan, in his despatch No. 267 of the 1st June, 1907. He is a man of agreeable manners, good intentions, and limited capacity. It is thus pleasant to dine with him, but very wearisome to have any work to transact with him. As Austrian Minister his work was practically nil, but the assumption of the \"décanat\" has opened up fresh fields to his activity. Unlike his predecessor, who looked upon his position of doyen as purely honorary, M. de Kuczynski takes his duties most seriously, and as all his little fishes are big whales, the most trivial question--such as the completion of a new list of the diplomatic body, or a proposal that a path shall be laid out on the international glacis-is of sufficient importance in his mind to induce him to call upon some foreign colleague and discuss the matter in all its bearings, with a consequent waste of time not at all welcome to the overworked heads of some of the other missions, meetings of the diplomatic body M. de Kuczynski often acts as the spokesman of the views of the German Legation which the German Minister is unwilling to advocate openly himself. I do not think, however, that this is due to any duplicity on the part of M. de Kuczynski, who is a man without guile, means thoroughly well by everyone, and has shown himself particularly friendly to me since I have been in charge.\n\nAt\n\nMme. de Kuczynska is a pleasant-looking lady of the German bourgeoisie, who makes up in amiability and vivacity of manner what she lacks in tact and discretion. She has literary tastes, and is at present engaged on the composition of a drama which, according to her husband, will make a sensation in the Germanic world. She spends as much of her time as possible in Europe.\n\nGermany.Count Rex, the German Minister, conceals under a cloak of bluff heartiness and apparent indifference to anything except a good dinner, a considerable amount of ability and astuteness. He is of imposing proportions, and his physique is a great help to him in the role which he plays as a representative of the Bismarckian policy of \"action not words.\" His national fondness for food and the good things of this life have not really made him slothful or neglectful of his country's interests. He has, I am assured, a good position with the Chinese. He never worries them over trifles, but speaks out when necessary, and certainly is fairly successful with them. He is distinctly anti-British, but I am all the same on excellent terms with him. He is a little apt to overreach himself when he attempts too much diplomatic finesse, and after comparing notes on one or two occasions the French Minister and I have discovered that he is not trustworthy.\n\n[2893 t-1]\n\nPage 156", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429952, "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": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "page_number": 144, "title": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "content_text": "J :\n\nChina Association 1910 26 July\n\nLast previous Paper. 2-6\n\nHONG KONG EASTERN 23068 148 23068\n\nNece Res 27 L 10 Opruim Conference at the Nagure Sendo copy letter to 7.0. on sulgent mitation of an unqualified refusal\n\nWV Wik U.S. for.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey** \n**(Received January 19, 1911.)** \n**(No. 474.)** \n\nPeking, December 30, 1910.\n\nSHORTLY after my return here I took an opportunity of consulting my French, German, and American colleagues on the subject of the Hukuang loan negotiations, and of ascertaining what steps they were prepared to take with a view to securing the ratification of the preliminary agreement of the 6th June, 1909. As the identic notes of the 22nd October and 25th November had not received even the courtesy of an acknowledgment from the Wai-wu Pu, it was felt that nothing was to be gained by further correspondence, and it was suggested that the circumstances justified a concerted personal representation on the part of the Ministers of the four Powers. The German and French Ministers both welcomed the suggestion, but the American Minister appeared at first somewhat reluctant to join us, on the ground that he did not feel convinced that the Chinese Government were in a position to overcome the provincial opposition. Mr. Calhoun, however, frankly volunteered the admission that American intervention had been responsible for the miscarriage of the transaction in the first instance, and said that he felt it incumbent upon him to do what he properly could to assist us.\n\nA meeting of the four Ministers was accordingly convened at this legation for the purpose of arranging a concerted plan of action. A written statement, copy of which is enclosed, was drawn up complaining of the indifference with which the Wai-wu Pu persisted in treating our communications on the subject, and insisting on receiving without further delay a definite reply as to the intentions of the Imperial Government with regard to the settlement of the question. It was agreed that this document should be handed to the Grand Secretary in English and Chinese, and form the basis of our representation.\n\nThe interview took place at the Wai-wu Pu on the 27th instant. I handed the joint memorandum to the Grand Secretary, and explained that as our notes of the 22nd October and 25th November had failed to elicit any reply, we had no resource but to make a strong personal representation against the studied neglect with which the question was being treated, and to demand the immediate fulfilment of the preliminary agreement of the 6th June, 1909.\n\nThe Grand Secretary replied that the question primarily rested with the Board of Communications, to whom it had been entrusted on the death of his Excellency Chang Chih-tung. He admitted that there had been serious delay, for which, however, he could not accept responsibility, but from reports which had reached him during the last few days the prospects of a settlement seemed to have considerably improved, and he understood that the representatives of the banks had been invited to a conference at the Board of Communications on the 29th instant.\n\nI replied that my colleagues and myself could not admit that the Wai-wu Pu was not responsible for the conduct of this, as of all other foreign questions. As a matter of fact, it was at the special request of the Wai-wu Pu that the three banks had undertaken to arrange for the participation of the American group, and negotiations having this object in view were carried on for some months between the three banks and his Excellency Liang T'un-yen, the late president of the Wai-wu Pu. All four groups having complied with the Wai-wu Pu's request, it now only remained to give effect to the preliminary agreement.\n\nThe Grand Secretary endeavoured to maintain that Liang T'un-yen, in conducting the loan negotiations, was acting as the delegate of Chang Chih-tung, and not as president of the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nThe German Minister, Count Rex, insisted with some vehemence that the Wai-wu Pu alone represented the Imperial Government in the conduct of foreign relations. It was only within the last year or two that the Wai-wu Pu had attempted to transfer its responsibility to other departments, and it was necessary to state formally...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 434402, "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": "CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 403, "title": "CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "## 2\n\nFrench Minister and myself still declined to sanction the appointment until the written assurance of the Wai-wu Pu was made effective at Shanghai.\n\nA meeting of the diplomatic body was convened to consider this point on the 5th instant. The Austrian Minister, as doyen, stated his opinion that, having obtained from the Wai-wu Pu the written assurance we had demanded, we were committed to the acceptance of M. Heidenstam; and this view was shared by the German, American, and Japanese Ministers, all of whom spoke strongly in its favour.\n\nThe French Minister and I pointed out that while we were receiving these formal assurances in Peking, the taotai at Shanghai was denying the existence of the Conservancy Board and treaty obligations alike, and had actually gone so far as to notify the appointment of Heidenstam to the senior consul. It was far better, in our opinion, to see that the Wai-wu Pu's promises were translated into action before we accepted the appointment than to trust to their fulfilment after we had accepted it. After a long and animated discussion, the doyen was about to put the question to the vote of the meeting when Count Rex, the German Minister, not wishing, I think, to press matters to such a marked conclusion, proposed that we should notify the Wai-wu Pu in writing that the nomination of Heidenstam as chief engineer would be accepted by the representatives of the Powers as soon as effect had been given at Shanghai to the assurances contained in the note of the 3rd January from the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nThis was all that the French Minister and I had been contending for, and we cordially endorsed the proposal, which was duly communicated to the Wai-wu Pu in a note, copy of which I have the honour to transmit herewith.\n\nThe decision taken at the meeting was telegraphed to the senior consul at Shanghai, who was instructed to inform us as soon as the prescribed conditions had been fulfilled; and on the 11th instant, Sir Pelham Warren was able to telegraph that the required assurance had been conveyed to him in an official note by the taotai.\n\nAs matters stand at present, therefore, M. Heidenstam has been appointed chief engineer for one year, and a Maintenance Board instead of a Conservancy Board is to carry on the work at Shanghai under the conditions prescribed by the convention of 1905.\n\nM. Heidenstam's appointment had, as Mr. Max Müller has indicated, the approval of a majority of the foreign representatives, and as the chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce had informed me privately that he saw no harm in giving him a year's trial, it seemed best for me to acquiesce in the opinion of the majority of my colleagues and make the best bargain I could, which is what has been done.\n\nIt now remains to consider the measures to be adopted for the maintenance of the river and the completion of the work, and our efforts in this direction should be materially assisted by the fact that all the foreign interests at Shanghai have agreed upon a programme which has received the approval of the consular body, and a copy of which forms Enclosure No. 4 in this despatch.\n\nThis scheme, which deals with the whole question in a very comprehensive manner, has not yet been considered by the diplomatic body, and it will probably be impossible to induce the Chinese Government to accept many of its provisions, but it will at least serve as a basis to work upon, and should help in some measure to remove the differences of opinion which have hitherto weakened our representations to the Chinese Government on the subject.\n\nI gather that the addition of Captain Tyler, the customs coast inspector, to the Maintenance Board is not likely to meet with much opposition, and that the principle of raising a portion of the funds required for conservancy purposes from a tax on the foreign trade of the port is no longer so unacceptable to the Chinese as it formerly was, but it remains to be seen whether the Chinese Government will consent to give to foreigners such a measure of control as will ensure that the money is properly spent.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\nMonseigneur,\n\n## 3\n\n### Enclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n#### Dean of Diplomatic Body to Prince Ch'ing\n\nPékin, le 21 décembre, 1910.\n\nPAR une lettre en date du 3 novembre dernier, votre Altesse a bien voulu me faire savoir que le Gouvernement Impérial, considérant que les travaux du Whangpoo touchent à leur fin, avait envisagé l'éventualité de confier leur achèvement à un autre ingénieur. Après avoir rendu hommage à l'œuvre accomplie par M. de Rijke, avant d'abandonner les fonctions qu'il remplissait à Shanghai, votre Altesse, conformément aux accords qui régissent la question du Whangpoo, proposait en conséquence à l'agrément des représentants des Puissances le choix d'un ingénieur suédois, M. de Heidenstamm, pour remplacer M. de Rijke et pour suivre le travail de régularisation du fleuve.\n\nVotre Altesse voulait bien ajouter, d'autre part, que le Gouvernement Impérial était d'accord avec les représentants des Puissances pour le maintien, sous la direction commune du taotai et du commissaire des douanes, du \"Conservancy Board\" existant. Elle proposait toutefois de changer son nom en celui de \"Whangpoo Conservancy Reform Office.\"\n\nLe Corps diplomatique a estimé que, dans l'intérêt commun du Gouvernement chinois et des Puissances, il était nécessaire que la nomination du nouvel ingénieur fût entourée de sérieuses garanties. J'ai donc été invité par mes collègues à faire savoir à votre Altesse que les représentants des Puissances sont disposés à prendre en considération favorable la candidature de M. de Heidenstamm à la condition que celui-ci fournisse des certificats d'ingénieur-hydrographe et la preuve qu'il possède de l'expérience dans cette branche technique. Ils ont, en outre, été d'avis que l'engagement d'un nouvel ingénieur ne devait pas être conclu pour une durée supérieure à une année. En ce qui concerne l'assurance donnée par votre Altesse que le \"Conservancy Board\" serait maintenu, je me permets de faire remarquer que cette promesse a revêtu une forme moins précise au cours de la conversation que j'ai eue avec le fonctionnaire désigné par le Gouvernement Impérial pour s'occuper avec moi de la question. J'ai pris acte et j'ai donné connaissance à mes collègues de l'affirmation faite par votre mandataire que le Viceroi avait reçu l'ordre de rapporter les mesures qui avaient été primitivement prescrites par lui en ce qui concerne la dissolution du \"Conservancy Board,\" l'abrogation de la convention de 1905 ainsi que la transmission au taotai des pouvoirs appartenant jusque-là au \"Conservancy Board.\" Les instructions relatives à la dissolution du \"Conservancy Board\" ayant été formulées par lettre devraient, semble-t-il, pour plus de régularité, être rapportées sous une forme analogue, c'est-à-dire au moyen d'une lettre adressée par le Viceroi au taotai, ou par une note que votre Altesse voudrait bien faire parvenir aux représentants des Puissances.\n\nLe commissaire des douanes a bien été avisé par une communication verbale du taotai qu'il était maintenu comme membre du \"Conservancy Board,\" mais il lui a été en même temps déclaré que l'ancien secrétariat était supprimé et que son travail était transféré au Bureau des Affaires Étrangères. Dans ces conditions, il apparaît que la mise en vigueur par le Viceroi des instructions envoyées par le Gouvernement serait purement nominale. Mes collègues estiment donc qu'on éviterait, dans l'avenir, des difficultés si le Viceroi déclarait dans une lettre que le \"Conservancy Board\" sera maintenu dans sa forme actuelle, sur les mêmes bases et avec les mêmes pouvoirs, ou si votre Altesse faisait une communication identique aux représentants des Puissances.\n\nQuant à la question de la continuation des travaux proprement dits, à laquelle votre Altesse a fait allusion dans sa lettre du 3 novembre, le Corps diplomatique se réserve de l'examiner de nouveau et de faire connaître ultérieurement, par mon entremise, son sentiment au Gouvernement Impérial.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nSir,\n\n### Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n#### Wai-wu Pu to Dean of Diplomatic Body\n\nPeking, January 3, 1911.\n\nWE have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 21st December last regarding the appointment of a new engineer to superintend the ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435070, "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": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 484, "title": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "(This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.)\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n## SECTION 1\n\nNo. 1.\n\n(No. 184.)\n\nSir,\n\n**Sir J.

N. JORDAN,\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum respecting Heads of Diplomatic Missions in Peking.**\n\nAustria-Hungary.-M. de Kuczynski, who was doyen of the diplomatic body since the 2nd August, 1909, left for Europe in February last, and is not expected to return here. He has already been fully described in my despatch No. 267 of the 1st June, 1907, and in Mr. Max Müller's despatch No. 251, Confidential, of the 21st July, 1910. The eccentricities of his wife became very marked during the latter part of their stay here, and as doyen M. de Kuczynski showed himself so amenable to German influence that he lost to a large extent the confidence of his other colleagues.\n\nThe Austrian Legation is in charge of the first secretary, M. von Storck, but it is reported that M. von Rosthorn, the Minister at Tehran, who was formerly Chinese secretary here, will be transferred to Peking as successor to M. de Kuczynski.\n\nGermany.-Count Rex, notices of whom will be found in previous reports, was transferred to the embassy at Tokyo about a month ago. Towards the end of his time here he had become very unpopular with his compatriots, and he left Peking for his new post without giving even the members of his own legation an opportunity of seeing him off.\n\nHerr von Haxthausen, who was formerly consul-general at Warsaw, and has since been Minister to Bolivia, has been appointed to Peking, but will not arrive until June. In the meantime, the first secretary, Count Luxburg, is in charge of German interests.\n\nFrance.-The French Minister, M. de Margerie, who was French representative at Bangkok before he came here, is an excellent colleague and a charming man, with whom it is a great pleasure to be associated either in official business or in social life. I fully endorse all that Mr. Max Müller said of him in last year's report. Unfortunately, French interests in China give the French Minister little scope for the exercise of his undoubted ability, but he invariably lends this legation his cordial co-operation in all matters affecting our common interests.\n\nUnited States of America.-The American Minister, Mr. Calhoun, is a lawyer from Chicago, who had no previous experience of diplomatic life, and who is still perhaps rather inclined to look at his new profession from the point of view of his old one. He is a shrewd and thoroughly straightforward man, who takes a practical businesslike view of questions, and is very well-disposed towards us. I have generally found him quite frank and open in spite of his reputation for reticence and reserve, and in the currency loan and other questions in which we have been closely associated he has certainly given us a full share of his confidence. Like all American representatives here, Mr. Calhoun is at pains to cultivate friendly relations with the Chinese, but he is by no means blind to their shortcomings, and occasionally expresses himself in very strong language regarding the delays and evasions which attend the transaction of business.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 439143, "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": "CO129-393 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [11]", "page_number": 60, "title": "CO129-393 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [11]", "content_text": "58\n\nlex\n\nway\n\nregards the subject of roads, Sir, expenditure on public works or of expendi-ture is necessary for the protection of life, property, and health, then, Sir, I submit that such economy would be unwise.\n\nI want to suggest to your Excellency to hasten the work by offering the contractor a premium for every month he saves under the contract period, and I ask your Excellency to cause a statement similar to that which is given for the Typhoon Refuge to be placed upon this table every half-year.\n\nIn addition to the roads mentioned by my hon. friend opposite, the dangerous roads have from time to time received unfavourable comment. The report of the committee which was appointed to enquire into the expenditure and delay in constructing the new General Post Office Building formed very unsatisfactory reading.\n\nMy hon. friend on my left has made some remarks with regard to public works and has asked for some information regarding them. He expressed his regret that a sum of only $250,000 should be spent during the coming year in connection with the Tytam Tuk scheme.\n\nThe DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS said that with regard to the typhoon refuge, we are indeed to note that such satisfactory progress is being made with that work, and we earnestly hope it will continue.\n\nWith regard to public works extraordinary, we are of a somewhat slow and tedious kind, consisting largely of excavation, some of rock. A contract was signed only two days ago for the carrying out of this work. The amount of the contract is $1,781,817.99. The time allowed for the completion of the work is five years, but I trust that within two years from the present time the work will have reached such a stage as to enable us to derive some benefit from it.\n\nWe also welcome the two sums appearing in the estimates next year of $100,000 and $1,000 for quarters for subordinate officers in the service of the Government at Victoria and Kowloon respectively.\n\nWith regard to the vote of $100,000 for communication by wireless telegraphy from ship to shore, we are entirely in favour of that vote, subject to the proviso that by obtaining this communication from ship to shore we shall not prejudice the early inclusion of Hongkong in the Imperial long-distance scheme of wireless telegraphy.\n\nAs regards the report of the new General Post Office, the recommendations of the Committee are at present engaging the attention of the Government.\n\nWith regard to the Kowloon-Canton Railway, we consider that the increase in expenditure for a more efficient train service and for further locomotives and rolling stock is justified, and we welcome the starting of refreshment trains, and the proposed new roads which it is proposed to make at certain train halts.\n\nWith regard to the design for a terminal station at Kowloon, the unofficial members are most strongly of opinion that the plans for that station ought to have been thrown open for competition by local firms in this Colony who are necessarily better acquainted with local conditions than any gentlemen, however experienced, from the Federated Malay States.\n\nIn conclusion, Sir, whilst we have found some matters to comment on in this budget, we desire to state that we fully realise that your Excellency has, since your return to this Colony in July last, worked hard in the public interest, and we beg leave to assure you, Sir, that in boldly and fearlessly assailing any abuses there may be on our ways we count on the sincere sympathy and hearty support of the unofficial members of this Council. (Applause.)\n\nTo the remarks of my hon. friend opposite (Hon. Mr. Osborne), I think the only comment I am called upon to make is that with regard to the offer of a premium for the earlier completion of the large dam at Tytam Tuk.\n\nThe position is that when the reservoir is completed, it will be in excess of present requirements.

In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their pensions in respect of professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading.\n\nHead 6-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the months immediately before the date of his retirement, the annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual\". In other cases, the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, as ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with Regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Paper of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Government concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8-In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of Government.\n\nHead 9-As to \"broken\" service see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 10-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have private practice without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14—If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 12 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19-The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\nAll those having joined the service before July 1897, are entitled to draw their pension in England at the rate of 1s. 7d. 94 to the dollar; others who joined later to 3s. – the dollar.\n\n(2) Indians having joined the service before 23rd June, 1895, and drawing pension in India are entitled to exchange at the rate of Rs. 227 for every $100; others who joined later to Rs. 200 for every $100.\n\nSir,\n\nI am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th September on the subject of the Law Courts accounts.\n\n2.

In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7—A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, as ascertained, exceeds one sixth of the salary and emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one sixth of that amount, so that it may not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, at the ascertained average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, as the Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Paper of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Government concerned to satisfy itself of the accuracy of such declarations before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of mixed Salaries and Fees the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.—In cases of infirmity if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate should be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of Government.\n\nHead 9.-As to \"broken\" service see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service the details must be fully given, with a statement whether during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11-If in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14—If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.—The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given.

And this letter is not intended as critical of individual Judges.\n\nBut the system of appointment under which our Bench is usually recruited from men in private practice or have been successful therein, is a system from which satisfactory results cannot reasonably be expected. We have had Racial Judges here who have been brilliant. And the regulations still vary, but there must be a certain number of pure standing as could be collaterally controlled over their Count; witness \"to tailor themselves\", is futile unless those years have been spent in serious practice.\n\nOn account of this lack of experience, the waste of time complained of naturally occurs. The Judges have no sufficient confidence in themselves, and therefore excuse licence is allowed to counsel and unscemly bickering occurs between representatives of the parties; masses of evidence are waded through on matters really circumstantial and unnecessary; paucity of procedure and law too much settled to heed, or rightly opposed, discussion is argued at length; the Judges do not cite precedents or give instructions or take other steps to guide a case but laboriously note it all, cut to the further exhaustion of time and costs, which goes far towards closing the Original Court to people.\n\nTo take a small but common example; in considerable cases, little straightforward is put on one certain answer in gross examination, there can be no doubt solicitors coach their witnesses beforehand in long speeches upon matters which they could not state in chief to be delivered in cross-examination, regardless of any reference to the questions they are asked; and the Bench when appealed to seems afraid to stop them.\n\nI agree with the views expressed by Mr Pollack, which you have shown me, Mr Jotter and Mr Kukul.\n\nAnother notorious mischief attributed in part to the same cause is that these solicitor's clerks, who act upon actions, but forward fraudulent claims alleged for their cause of success, unmeritorious and wickedness of the Brush. And the extraordinarily high percentage of defence cases fraudulent is perhaps the worst abuse of our local Courts.\n\nIn consequence of the prolongation of trials, the delay in bringing other actions to trial is such that this case which was ready for trial has been standing, and is apparently likely to be delayed some time yet.\n\nPage 64", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-447 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 475865, "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": "CO129-447 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [1-3]", "page_number": 229, "title": "CO129-447 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [1-3]", "content_text": "May 1918\n\n20 Feb. 225\n\n21225\n\n21225\n\nREC\n\nREA I MAY 181\n\nNaturalization\n\napple of ble!

Williams R.E. for employment as a 2nd Class Overseer on the Colonial Government Electrical staff, at a salary of £200 per year plus conveyance allowance $15 a month. The period for which he is required is during the absence of Mr U.A. Farrell, the present holder of the appointment, who has been seconded for duty under the Admiralty in connection with the war. Serjeant Williams' services would be required until the end of the war.\n\nIt appears probable that he will take his discharge at the end of the war, and, if he has given satisfaction, get a permanent appointment of a similar kind, as he has now 21 years and 8 months service to count for pension.\n\n## 2.\n\nSerjeant Williams is acting as a Mechanist Electrician and can be temporarily spared, but it will be necessary to replace him before any more searchlights can be brought into use, and sooner if practicable.\n\n## 3.\n\nDuring his employment under the Colonial Government his services as a Defence Light soldier will not be lost, as he will join the Engineer company of the Hong Kong Defence Corps.\n\n## 4.\n\nUnder the circumstances I have provisionally sanctioned the proposal pending the Army Council's approval. Employment commences from 16th December 1917, from which date inclusive Serjeant Williams will cease to draw pay and allowances from Army Funds.\n\n## 5.\n\nParagraph 322 King's Regulations has been complied with.\n\nI have the honor to be \nSir, \nYour obedient Servant, \n(Sgd) F.

It is perhaps needless to remind you that this Swiss Organization is the one with which British Merchants are permitted to trade by the authority of H.M. Government.\n\nA confirmed Banker's Credit was passed through London Bankers, namely, the London County Westminster & Parr's Bank & the Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation, through whom all shipping documents were to be sent, thus insuring that all Government requirements were fully complied with. The shipment of Oil was being put on board a Steamer in Shanghai which sailed on November 28th for Hongkong, at that Port the consignment was to be transhipped into the S.S. \"Ganges\"\n\ncircumstances in prohibiting the Weshaft transhipment, in the absence of any authority from H.M.'s Govt. to permit it, owing to inability to obtain such authority, have arisen. The Sons regrets that difficulty would seem to have stiffened having been said that copy Corre Ear La 31/12/18. It seems that authority might be equally unconfirming. Instructions not to goods to Switzerland were given. \n\nthat the Govt. of H.Kong allow shipments of prohibited goods except on the authority of the S. of S.; that before such authority is given, it would require the certificate of the S.S.S. to be forwarded through the London Bureau of the Societe; that this procedure was not followed in the first instance, and accordingly the action of the H.Kong Govt. was count... by the S. of S. regrets that he is unable to condone the course which should be followed on the arrival of the Ganges. They may be able to obtain London Bureau of the S.S.S. in France, but that some information from the S.S.S. is required.\n\nCODES: & ABC (Fifth Edition) \nINCHES and AGENCIES: \nSHANGHAI, \nTIENTSIN, HANKOW, \nPEKING.\n\n14/9 Miller atours in the instructions.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-452 - Others & Individuals - 1918.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 482306, "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": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "page_number": 354, "title": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "content_text": "Any reply to this letter should be addressed to-\n\nTHE SECRETARY,\n\nTREASURY,\n\nWHITEHALL, LONDON, S.W., 1,\n\nand the following number quoted.\n\n14151/19/341\n\nTREASURY CHAMBERS\n\n19th April 1919.\n\nPage 1 (scanned page information, not to be altered)\n\nİRE REC -\n\nAPR 19\n\nSir,\n\nI have laid before the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury Mr. Grindle's letter of the 29th ultimo (19121/1919) enclosing a copy of a telegram from the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong on the subject of the shipment of gold from Australia to Hong Kong.\n\nIn reply, I am to request you to inform the Secretary of State for the Colonies that Their Lordships do not consider that the import of sovereigns into Hong Kong should be prohibited.\n\nThe question whether or not a prohibition of export from Australia may be desirable is one for the Commonwealth Government to consider. It should, however, be noted in this connection that the Government of New Zealand now proposes to remove its embargo on the export of gold, and in the event of the danger of serious loss of gold from Australasia being apprehended, it would be desirable that the Governments of the Commonwealth and the Dominion should act in consultation.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office.\n\nI am,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nWalrond\n\nPage XX (to be kept as is if present, with exact line count)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 482678, "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": "CO129-459 - Individuals - 1919", "page_number": 100, "title": "CO129-459 - Individuals - 1919", "content_text": "of any recessity arising \n\nHKONG \n\nREC \n\n39600 \n\n93 \n\nC \n\n39800 \n\nPeel? 5 JUL 19 \n\n(Sgd) G.

R.** Vol. 25, page 31.\n\nWhether an accused person may be convicted of piracy (meaning thereby of piracy jure gentium) in circumstances where no robbery has occurred, a question which by the judgment of the Full Court of Hong Kong delivered on the 1st April, 1931, was determined in the negative with the result that the said conviction was quashed and the prisoners were discharged; that no appeal lies from the above judgment of the Full Court which is and remains binding upon all the Courts of Hong Kong; that the question of law involved in this judgment is one of far-reaching importance and that it is conceived that others of His Majesty's Criminal Courts in the Far East will regard the said judgment as one which, though not binding on them, they ought to follow; that the efficacy of the protection afforded by His Majesty's Naval Forces against piracy on the High Seas in the Far East may, if the law has been rightly declared in the said judgment, be seriously affected, and that in these circumstances the said Secretary of State humbly submitted that the matter was a proper one to be referred to the Judicial Committee of His Majesty's Privy Council under the Statute aforesaid and prayed that His Majesty might be pleased to direct accordingly.\n\nNow, therefore, His Majesty, having taken the said letter into His consideration, is pleased, by and with the advice of the Privy Council, to order and it is hereby ordered that the question whether actual robbery is an essential element in the crime of piracy jure gentium or whether a frustrated attempt to commit a piratical robbery is not equally piracy jure gentium be and the same is hereby referred to the Judicial Committee for their hearing and consideration.\n\nNo. 2. \nM.

(1) of the **Criminal Procedure Ordinance, 1899 (Ordinance No. 9 of 1899)**.\n\n### No. 2. Judgment of Wood, Acting C.J. delivered 1st April, 1931. \nThis question was reserved by myself during the Criminal Sessions held on February last. The prisoners were convicted by the jury on an indictment for piracy. The facts established in the case by uncontradicted evidence were these: On the 4th January, in the present year, on the high seas, the prisoners were cruising in two junks. The prisoners are subjects of China and the junks were Chinese vessels. One or more of the prisoners were in possession of firearms. The prisoners pursued and attacked a cargo junk which was also a Chinese vessel. The master of the cargo junk was alarmed and attempted to escape. A chase ensued during which the prisoners came within two hundred yards of the cargo junk. The chase continued for over half an hour, the vessels preserving this distance. Shots were fired by the attacking party. While the chase was still proceeding, the s.s. **Hang Sang** approached and subsequently also the s.s. **Shui Chow**. The officers in command of these merchant vessels interfered and through their agency the prisoners were eventually taken in charge by the commander of H.M.S. **Somme**, which arrived in consequence of a report made by wireless. The prisoners were then brought to this Colony and indicted for the crime of piracy. The count contained in the indictment on which evidence was offered was as follows:\n\n| Statement of Offence | Particulars of Offence |\n| --- | --- |\n| Piracy | that you... on the 4th day of January, 1931, upon the high seas with force and arms assaulted and put \"in fear of their lives... mariners in cargo junk No. 206V. with intent to take the said junk her tackle and cargo from the owners thereof and to steal the same.\" |\n\nAfter the verdict of the jury, I reserved the following question of law: \"whether an accused person may be convicted of piracy in circumstances where no robbery has occurred.\"\n\nThe learned Attorney General, in his argument before us on behalf of the Crown, has submitted that the decision of this question depends wholly upon international law. The piracy charged is piracy jure gentium. By international law this crime is justiciable everywhere. A conviction for this crime may be recorded by a competent court in any country. The Supreme Court of any community in its criminal jurisdiction will, he submitted, accept a power from international law to punish prisoners guilty of piracy jure gentium. If I have followed his argument correctly, he claimed that this is the \n\n71", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-547-8 Piracy- case of Rex v.

Sinclair.]\n\nThe problem of colonies, because I do not suppose that the statesmen of all countries concerned meeting round a table would accept the solution which I should suggest, but I would ask the Government whether they agree that a solution of the colonial problem must be found on the basis of three principles. First, trusteeship for the interests of the natives, with guarantees for their welfare and against the militarisation and conscription of the natives, and trusteeship in the interests of civilisation, that is to say, free access to the raw materials and food supplies to be found in these countries to the merchants and traders of the whole world. I know that there is a difference of opinion between hon. Members opposite and myself about the proper interpretation of the principle of trusteeship, but I think we are united in saying that these twin principles should be the foundation of colonial policy and not the contrary principle of exploitation. I want to know whether the Government are holding firm to the principle of trusteeship.\n\nSecondly, will the Government agree that all Powers with colonial interests must be consulted and that the smaller Powers must not only be told after consultations have taken place between the four big Powers what they have to contribute but that they must be in at the beginning of the conversations, and also that all Powers with colonial claims should be there too so that the whole question can be thrashed out. Then, whatever the solution is, it must not really amount to the offer of a mandated territory in order to buy a few months' peace from Germany. If there is to be any solution of this colonial problem it must be as part of a general settlement, and the acid test of that general settlement must be a measure of general disarmament.\n\nThat is the test of the sincerity of any peace settlement. Further, I would ask the Government whether they do not agree that the basis of general disarmament should be the remaining in force of the Anglo-German Treaty limiting the size of the German navy to one-third of ours, while on the other hand, I would agree that the size of the British army should not be more than one-third of the size of the German, and, in the third place, seeing that this country offers the most exposed and tempting target to air attack of any country in the world, I say that we must demand, as Lord Baldwin said that a national Government of all conceivable governments must demand most persistently and resolutely that in the air we must have air parity with any air force within striking distance of our shores. If the Prime Minister goes out for peace on these lines we are with him. It must not be a peace of compliance with the tyrant's will but a peace based on justice, on the principles of the League of Nations; a peace of the sincerity of which the acid test will be disarmament.\n\n## Mr. R. H. Morgan\nThe right hon. Gentleman has said Great Britain and France no longer count. Seeing that Great Britain and France are the mainstays of the League of Nations at the present time, are not all these things which the right hon. Gentleman deplores due to a breakdown of the League of Nations rather than to any default by this country?\n\n## Sir A. Sinclair\nIf I were to answer the hon. Member fully I think it would take up a good deal of time, but let me say that I did not say that Great Britain and France did not count. I said that they are not counting now East of the Rhine, and I think that is true.\n\n6.24 p.m.\n\n## Mr. Donner\nBefore I attempt to give an answer to some aspects of the speech of the right hon. Gentleman I should like to offer an apology to the House because a previous engagement this evening will prevent me from staying to the end of the Debate. I want to make the apology now lest any hon. Member should think I have no interest in listening to the rest of the Debate. The right hon. Member for Caithness and Sutherland (Sir A. Sinclair) has on many occasions given me the impression that he possesses a sense of international morality superior to that of anyone else in the House. Again and again, as he has done this evening, he brings up the old question of Abyssinia, which I thought was dead and buried by now. When the present Home Secretary, then the Foreign Secretary, delivered his personal explanation to this House on the occasion of his resignation on the question of Abyssinia, he showed in his speech that not a single Power save Australia and New Zealand took any precautionary military measures whatever.\n\nThese two Dominions sent cruisers across the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea into the waters of the Mediterranean. It was evident from this fact that the League of Nations from that moment failed to function, and I held, and still hold, the view that there was a moral obligation upon the League and upon every hon. Member when that happened, to recognise the fact and to do something to compensate, if I might use the word, Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Abyssinia.\n\nThe only endeavour to save a part of Abyssinia for the Emperor was the Hoare-Laval pact which saved him something from the wreck, but the right hon. Gentleman was not one of those who supported it. He denounced it and those of us who supported it, despite the fact that many of us regarded such an endeavour as a moral obligation which should be carried out. The right hon. Gentleman also spoke of 30 divisions which had now been released from the Czechoslovakian frontiers and which can now be turned upon France.\n\nThat is the spirit which cannot possibly lead to appeasement, and which will never bring peace in Europe. I have heard the right hon. Gentleman deliver many speeches in this House. I should like to say, not too offensively I hope, that that is a sentiment which lies like a stone on the spirit. He says that we cannot trust the word of a dictator.\n\n## Sir A. Sinclair\nThe difference is between those who are loyal to the rule of law and those who regard the national will as the sole motive of their policy.\n\n## Mr. Donner\nI do not want to misrepresent the right hon. Gentleman, but I understood from his speech that he made it perfectly plain that he does not trust Herr Hitler's word. I say that the best way in which to make a man keep his word is not to throw doubt upon it. When the Prime Minister came to this House in the recent special Session and delivered his speech, every hon. Member jumped to his feet and wished him Godspeed. I do not remember the right hon. Gentleman saying that it was no use going to Munich, on the grounds that we could place no reliance on Herr Hitler's word. The right hon. Gentleman has spoken of the encirclement of Germany, although he did not use that word. I believe that the day of the encirclement of Germany is past and over. We must approach this subject in a new spirit, with a new mental orientation. The right hon. Gentleman's whole speech from the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia to the point when he thought that 30 divisions would be moved to the Western front revealed that he distrusts Germany and believes that Germany desires war and that the best way to deal with Germany is to encircle her. The question whether you can permanently keep in subjection a great nation of 80,000,000 people is practical politics or not is over. That belongs to the past. The right hon. Gentleman thinks in terms of a war of prevention. Those days are over long ago. It might have been the right policy in 1925 as some people in France believed, but it cannot be wise to wait until Germany is fully armed and then adopt a policy of encirclement.\n\nThe right hon. Gentleman proceeded and spoke of the Polish irruption into Teschen. I do not desire to make any excuses at all for what has happened, but I would remind him of the history of that incident. In the year 1920 Poland was fighting Soviet Russia and the Bolshevists were at the gates of Warsaw. The Czechoslovakian Government, taking advantage of Poland's hour of danger and difficulty, seized Teschen and even prevented equipment and supplies reaching Poland from Hungary. I do not say that I agree with either action, nor do I justify either, but I say it reveals and represents the kind of spirit which I believe still lives in the right hon. Gentleman, a spirit which cannot lead to peace and can end only in war.\n\nReference was made earlier in the Debate to the economic results of the Munich Agreement. I suggest to the House that if it is possible for Germany to expand economically in South Eastern Europe, that is a matter which should not cause us anxiety, but is rather a development which we should welcome. I believe that German economic expansion in South Eastern Europe is natural, just as our economic expansion in the Dominions and Colonies overseas is natural. If we can help Germany to increase her trade in South Eastern Europe, we shall be assisting her to raise the standard of living there as well as her own, and I believe that if there is a contented Germany, which does not merely exist, but in which there is a decent standard of living maintained and made possible, then there will be a greater chance of living in Europe in peace.\n\n6.39 p.m.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 574077, "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": "CO129-589-17 Evacuation of British families 14-1-1941 - 27-11-1941", "page_number": 84, "title": "CO129-589-17 Evacuation of British families 14-1-1941 - 27-11-1941", "content_text": "## St. Luke's Hospital\n### Number of Patients\n| Reason for Hospitalization | Number of Patients |\n| --- | --- |\n| Gastro enteritis | 34 |\n| B.

When the Japanese military authorities took over the civil hospitals or made further service impossible by withdrawing permits for food and fuel, and when the cost of necessities became prohibitive, the staff were left with one course open to them, that is, to escape to Free China. Having served in Hong Kong after the surrender, they were liable to be imprisoned and even shot by the Chinese when crossing into China unless they could produce a certificate of identity proving that they were not Japanese agents coming to spy out the land. Hence, my certificate which was intended to protect them and, also, to enable them to obtain assistance from the British Consuls, British Military Authorities in China and the mission hospitals.\n\nAnother count in the indictment was that I paid sums of money to a large number of persons, either with the object of obtaining information for the Allies or to bind them to the British Government.\n\nThe Gendarmerie refused to attach any credence to the suggestion that I was trying to implement, to the best of my ability, the undertaking given by the British Government before hostilities to care for widows, orphans, wives, children and dependents of members of Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, etc., with the help of a group of courageous persons including Chinese, Portuguese, Eurasians, Czechs, British, my skeleton medical staff and my wife and small daughter.\n\nMy first prison was a small dark cell, 6'6\" long, 5' wide and 6'6\" high, looking onto a large communal cell containing, at times, 70 to 80 prisoners packed like sardines.\n\nAfter the usual 'investigation' by the Gendarmerie, I was informed that I was to be executed without formal trial.\n\nPossibly, owing to the repeated efforts for my reprieve made by the British Government through the Protecting Power, combined with the efforts of the British Consul in Macau, and the International Red Cross, the execution did not take place.\n\nI was only in the hands of the Gendarmerie for ten months. After this, I was handed over to the Japanese Advocate General's Department where questioning is not accompanied by duress. Gendarmerie would appear to have made a close study of the \"Constitutio Criminalis Theresiana\" which you probably remember was issued in pamphlet form in the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria (about 1768) as a guide to village magistrates on the value of the thumb screw, strappado, burning of areas of the skin, and the like. More modern 'improvements' on these methods included preliminary deprivation of food for five or six days and ballooning-out of the stomach and bowel with gallons of water introduced by rubber tube.\n\nThe Advocate General's Department dispenses with physical force (other than execution by shooting and decapitation) and houses its prisoners in relatively hygienic surroundings. Sixteen months after my original incarceration, I was formally tried, if one can so describe a process in which there are no opportunities for making a defence and in which, for example, forty-four persons on different charges are dealt with in a court session of about three hours. This time, instead of being condemned to death, I was awarded a very light sentence of three years.\n\nI served just over three months of this sentence, during the greater part of which I was no longer prevented from speaking with other prisoners. In December, 1944, I was released from prison and interned in a small camp in Kowloon. The reason given for this very acceptable and quite unexpected release was that it was the fourth anniversary of the Japanese attack on the Colony.\n\n- 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 589946, "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": "CO129-609-8 Future policy- general views 3-6-1948 - 9-9-1948", "page_number": 21, "title": "CO129-609-8 Future policy- general views 3-6-1948 - 9-9-1948", "content_text": "far from Colonial Office\n\nI am and who's who\n\ncount)\n\nund\n\nList\n\nso please forgive (and\n\nif I have omitted honorifics\n\nin the address & this letter\n\nN. 2.
