CHRISTO (No. 26.) \n\nPHER. \n\nEncl. 4 in No. 5. \n\nSir, \n\nRETURN OF THE NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS INTO \n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 5. \n\nGovernment House, St. Christopher, April 7, 1843. \n\nI HAVE had the honour to receive your Excellency's Circular, covering a Circular from Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, together with a copy of an Address of the House of Commons requiring returns of immigration, and of annual votes for that purpose, within this colony since the year 1834. \n\nI have the honour to state, for the information of Her Majesty's Secretary of State, that no immigration has ever taken place into this colony, and that, consequently, no funds have been appropriated for that purpose. \n\nIn my annual report upon the state of this colony, I have already informed your Excellency that a Bill for encouraging emigration had been introduced into the House of Assembly, which, on the second reading, was rejected by a large majority, its only supporters being the mover and seconder. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nHis Excellency Sir C. A. Fitz Roy, \n\n&c. &c. &c. \n\nEnel. 5 in No. 5. (No. 27.) \n\nNEVIS. \n\nSir, \n\nC. T. CUNNINGHAM, Lieutenant-Governor. \n\nEnclosure 5 in No. 5. \n\nGovernment Office, Nevis, April 20, 1843. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Excellency's despatch No. 9, of the Ist Instant, forwarding a letter from the Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, with an Address of the House of Commons for \"Returns of the number of Immigrants into the Bri- tish West India Colonies from the 1st of August, 1834, to the latest date the same can be made up; and for all votes of money for purposes of immigration and annual expenditure of the same for the like period.\" \n\nI have, in reply, the honour to acquaint your Excellency that no record of immigrants has been kept either by the officers of Her Majesty's Customs, or by the Island Secretary, and that, consequently, I am unable to furnish duly authenticated returns from any public Office. \n\nFrom the inquiries I have instituted, I am informed that the only immigrants into Nevis since the year 1834, are a few individuals, native creoles of the islands, who had previously emigrated to the colonies of Trinidad or British Guiana, and of them no record has been made by any public department. The Legislature has made no grant of monies since the year 1834, for the purposes of immigration, nor have any sums been raised by private parties for a like object. \n\nHis Excellency Sir Charles A. Fitz Roy, \n\nGovernor-in-Chief. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) L. GREME, President administering the Government. \n\nRETURN of the Number of Immigrants into the Island of Nevis, from the 1st day of August, 1834, \n\nto the 31st day of March, 1843. \n\nNumber. \n\nAmount of Monies voted by the Island Legislature. \n\nAnnual Sum \n\nExpended, \n\nGeneral Remarks. \n\nTHE WEST INDIES FROM THE 1ST AUGUST, 1834. \n\nBAHAMAS. \n\n(No. 6.) \n\nNo. 6. \n\nNo. 6.

COCKBURN to Lord STANLEY. \n\nGovernment House, Bahamas, \n\nApril 18, 1843. \n\nMy Lord, \n\nIn compliance with the directions contained in your Lordship's Circular Despatch of the 28th February, I have the honour to enclose herewith ́a return of immigrants brought to this colony since the month of August, 1834. \n\nI have, &c. (Signed) \n\nThe Right Hon. Lord Stanley. \n\n&c. &c. \n\n&c. \n\nEnclosure in No. 6. \n\nF. COCKBURN. \n\nRETURN of the Number of Immigrants brought to this Colony since August, 1884, up to the present Period; the Amount of Money voted; and the Annual Expenditure. \n\nNumber of Emigrants. \n\nNil. \n\nVotes of Money. \n\nNil. \n\nAnnual Expenditure. \n\nNil. \n\nNOTE. The above return is nil, from the circumstance that no immigrants have been brought to this colony during the above period, except the captured or shipwrecked Africans and negroes landed from the American brig Creole, the greater part of whom went to Jamaica, who are not supposed to come within the object and intention of the return wanted. \n\nW.

Nor can we omit to notice the acknowledged improvements consequent on the energetic and efficient measures so promptly adopted by Your Excellency after the late calamitous fire in the Chinese town.\n\nMany circumstances combine to render the duties of a Governor in a rising Colony like this, arduous and difficult.

G. BONHAM.\n\nTo the Honorable DAVID JARDINE, Esq.\n\nWILKINSON DENT, Esq.\n\nC. J. F. STUART, Esq.\n\nGEORGE LYALL, Esq., and others.\n\n16777/52\n\nPage 240\n\nFarwell Address of the CHINESE INHABITANTS of Victoria to His Excellency Sir GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B., on the occasion of his departure for England, March 29, 1852.\n\n(Translation)\n\nYour petitioners, Shopkeepers, and Inhabitants of the Town of Victoria, and their representatives, Tong-shin, of Sheung-shui, Fong-wing, of Tai-ping-san, and Sung-king, of Cheung-sha-wan and Ha-tung, respectfully present this unanimous address to express their sincere wish to see Your Excellency return soon to your high position as Governor of this Colony, that they may once more look up to, and be in your precious presence.\n\nYour Petitioners call to mind with sentiments of the highest respect, the utility and benevolence that have ever characterised Your Excellency's administration since your arrival at the Colony—a benevolence that has never failed to seek out and relieve the secret griefs of every private individual, and wisdom, that has resulted in the marked improvement of the scale of our military defences.\n\nThey contemplate with rare gratitude the power that has undeservedly protected them, and congratulate themselves on the happy fortune that finds blessed tie with Your Excellency's overshadowing presence.\n\nThey ascribe the quiet existence they have passed in the undisturbed pursuit of their several vocations, wholly and entirely to Your Excellency's boundless benevolence.\n\nYour Petitioners have learnt with sentiments of deep reverence that Your Excellency is on the point of returning to England to be aired into the August Presence of Her Most Gracious Majesty: and while songs of eulogy resound throughout the Colony, every heart throbs with the assurance that Your Excellency will be gratified by a friendly and warm-hearted reception at the hands of Your Sovereign.\n\nYour Petitioners would contemplate with heartfelt awe that ability and intrepidity of character, the springs of which lie so deeply hid in Your Excellency's breast, and they would dwell with respect upon that purity and uprightness of soul, the fame of which has earned far beyond the seas.\n\nNow happily overshadowed by the clouds of Your Excellency's presence, Your Petitioners may look up and aspire, although unable to approach; ere long, however, deprived of Your Excellency's life-giving influence, it will only remain for them to dwell upon it in memory with ceaseless Affection and respect—it will be out of their power to divine when that happy day will come on which the fluttering of Your Excellency's gay streamers in the breeze, will indicate your longed-for return, and encourage them once again to trust themselves to the guiding star of their existence, and to bask in the sun of their day.\n\nBlest by sentiments of the deepest gratitude, Your Petitioners will feel it a privilege to escort Your Excellency's departing car, with heads bowed in the dust, and entreat Your Excellency to return in safety.\n\nWould that Your Excellency were not about to leave us? Would you please be persuaded in your rich benevolence to turn again, and come once more amongst us, that we might be again refreshed by your glorious presence, and once more overshadowed by your gracious protection? Now deeply and sincerely Your Petitioners desire it!\n\nYour Petitioners address this respectful petition, wishing Your Excellency peace and prosperity.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B.,\n\nHer Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of British Trade in China, and Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\n(Signed and sealed by 60 Individuals and Firms)\n\nWIL. MANWARING, Translated by\n\nChinese Secretary.\n\nMar. 1852\n\nReply of His Excellency Sir George Bonham, K.C.B.,\n\nto the Farewell Address of the Chinese Inhabitants of Victoria.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary has been much gratified by the handsome and feeling address just presented to him by the Chinese Shopkeepers and Inhabitants of Hongkong, and he is rejoiced to find it is so much peace and prosperity prevail, and that they have enjoyed such freedom from all molestation.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary heartily sympathises with the petitioners in the severe trials which so many of them have lately undergone, and he congratulates them on their present recovery from the effects of the fire through the exertions of the more influential among their body.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary now leaves them in the sanguine hope that they will soon again enjoy their former peace and prosperity, and that on his return, he shall find the Colony in a flourishing and prosperous condition.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\n\n30th March, 1852.\n\nPage 241",

Cunningham Bell C. C. f. 72) it is laid down in Archbold's Criminal Practice p. 360 on the authority of a Manuscript note (Reg. v. Jarrot), that if a robbery be committed in creeks, harbours, forts in Foreign Countries the court of Admiralty has indisputably jurisdiction of it and such Offence is consequently felony. And in R. v. Allen Mos. C. C. 494 it was held that a Robbery in a British Ship at Whampoa in the Canton River was within the admiralty Jurisdiction it being a place \"where great Ships go\". It would seem that Evidence of the offence being committed within admiralty Jurisdiction is sufficient to support the necessary allegation in an indictment for Piracy, that it was committed on the \"high Seas\" and the above cases are cited in support of that position not only in Archbold but in the Valuable Edition of Russell on Crimes recently published by Mr. Greaves.",

The following Memorial respecting the Stamp Act has been presented to His Excellency the Governor from the undermentioned firms and other residents at Amoy.\n\nTo His Excellency Sir RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, K.C.B., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hong Kong.\n\nThe Memorial of the undersigned, Merchants and Inhabitants of the Port of Amoy.\n\nHumbly Sheweth,\n\nThat your Memorialists have seen with extreme regret Your Excellency's proposal for a Stamp Act for the Colony of Hong Kong, which they are of opinion is calculated to inflict great injury on the trade and all other vested interests of that Port.\n\nThat your Memorialists are many of them directly interested in the prosperity of Hong Kong, such as they are Bankers, Dock, and Insurance Companies, all of which must have suffered had the Stamp Act come into force, independently of the sharp commercial depression.\n\nThat your Memorialists would draw Your Excellency's attention to the fact that the trades of Amoy are intimately connected with that of Hong Kong, and anything which interferes with the trade of the latter must have an injurious effect upon that of the former; for example, all the Exchange business of this Port is done through Hong Kong, and nearly all the manufactured Goods, Foreign Cotton, &c., which are consumed here are received via Hong Kong, and they would respectfully state that the proposed Stamp Act will certainly prove a serious burden and obstacle to the continuance of such Trade.\n\nThat your Memorialists would, for the reasons set forth above, as well as for those more fully and emphatically expressed in the Memorial of the Hong Kong Community, in which they especially concur, respectfully beg of Your Excellency to abandon the Stamp Act in favor of some other mode of taxation less likely to press so grievously and vexatiously upon the trade of Hong Kong, as well as on that of Amoy and other Coast Ports in the South of China.\n\nDated at Amoy, September 6, 1866.\n\n[Signed by various firms and individuals, including:]\n\nEMAIL, BROWN & Co.,\nDAUVER & Co.,\nAmoy Dyeing Company, per J. CASS, Secretary,\nROBERT CRAIG,\nW. CUNNINGHAM JOHNSTON,\nMUNRO,\nF. MEYER,\nTAIT & Co.,\nELLIS & Co.,\nM. SMITH,\nBOYD & Co.,\nJONES CARNEGIE & SCOTT,\nJno. L. ANDERSON,\nJOHN C. MACKENZIE,\nDAN PEDDER,\nFRANK LEYBURN,\nC. & ROBERT WILSON,\nJ. H. MENZIES,\nWALTER G. H. CAPP,\nJAMES JONES,\nW. S. SIBBALD,\nOK HVAITE,\nR. KAISER,\nMAN WALK ZACHARIAH,\nA. LEIGH,\nA. M. DONALDSON,\nAUG. MULLER,\nH. A. PETERSON & Co.,\nH. G. HUG, GERARD & Co.,\nBELLAMY & Co.,\nJ. AYRES,\nWILSON, NICHOLLS & GILES & Co.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONG KONG, 14th September, 1866.\n\nI am directed by His Excellency Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 12th instant, transmitting a Memorial of certain Merchants and Inhabitants of the Port of Amoy praying His Excellency \"to abandon the Stamp Act in favor of some other mode of taxation less likely to press grievously and vexatiously on the trade of Hong Kong as well as on that of Amoy and other Coast Ports in the South of China.\"\n\nHis Excellency is much concerned that such erroneous impressions should have alarmed the residents at Amoy, who do not appear to have been acquainted with the very simple and moderate scale of Stamp duties imposed by the revised Schedule of the Stamp Ordinance. It is unnecessary to remark that His Excellency does not believe that measure \"calculated to inflict great injury not only on the trade, but also on the vested interests of Hong Kong.\" If such had been his belief, he would not have proposed it.\n\nNevertheless, in the anxiety expressed by the inhabitants of Amoy as to the effects of a Stamp duty on themselves, and the mercantile interests of other Coast Ports, His Excellency sees an additional proof of the soundness of the Policy, which has not placed the new duty merely on the property of residents in Hong Kong, but has spread it as widely as possible over the general business and mercantile transactions of all who have dealings with Hong Kong as the main centre of those transactions and principal Commercial Depot of these seas.\n\nAlready Hong Kong alone contributes towards the Military protection of British interests and trade in China, and therefore, when her finances are embarrassed, has just right to expect that all who are commercially connected with her should contribute to such expenditure wherever it may be possible to reach them.\n\nHis Excellency has therefore sought to accomplish this by a Stamp duty, the only means compatible with the freedom of the port by which the Legislature here can reach parties who, though not actually residing in Hong Kong, nevertheless indirectly derive almost as much benefit from the establishment and maintenance of Hong Kong as if residing there.\n\nIt is quite true that the principle of a Stamp duty might be pushed injuriously far and become by its complications and heavy amount \"grievous\" and \"vexatious.\" It is not true, however, that such terms fairly describe the Ordinance recently passed, and His Excellency sees no just reason why the people of Amoy should assume that an equitable mode of taxation is likely to be carried either by himself or Her Majesty's Government to an extreme calculated to injure the interests which it is their duty to foster and protect.\n\nHis Excellency will feel obliged by your forwarding this letter as a reply to the parties who transmitted their Memorial through you.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) L. D'ALMADA & CASTRO, for the Colonial Secretary.\n\nTo GEORGE F. MACLEAN, Esq., &c.\n\nPage 210\n\nPage 211",

A settlement not much better than an uninhabited rock witnessed your advent to these shores; a populous and handsome city looks grave at your departure.

We thank you for what you have done; we are glad that we can remember you as one that has held the chief reins of power; and whilst we acknowledge the sound decision which at present guides this Government, we confess it was with disappointment we learned that your tenure of the office of her Majesty's representative would not be otherwise than brief.\n\nDuring your stay amongst us you have borne the burden and heat of the day, and we are to-day proud to be allowed to thus publicly testify to the unswerving consistency and the steadfast perseverance which have throughout characterized your career.\n\nWe trust, when your health may be sufficiently restored, that your long and faithful services in this Colony will procure for you another field wherein to display your talents and your administrative capacity, and we beg to be allowed to subscribe ourselves,--Your friends and well-wishers,\n\n| Name | \n| --- | \n| James Whittall | \n| John Dent | \n| J.

The Consul General also applied to the Local Government for the liberation of the Chinese and the prosecution of the employer, but the decision on that application is not given. So far, however, as the matter has yet gone the result is good, and the strictness and loyalty with which the present Governor of Macao has carried out the Emigration Laws, and has, up to the present time, put down the practices which made the Emigration from Macao a disgrace to humanity are a guarantee that he will carry out the prohibition which he has issued as to Emigration to Peru.\n\n3.\n\nThe description which Mr. Cunningham gives of the condition of Chinese in Peru makes it very desirable that this should be the case. He says that while the uncivilized Negro easily adopts the language, the religion and the habits of his employers, and thereby becomes amalgamated with the people of the Country, the previous Education of the Chinese in their own Country prevents their doing so - that",

        "content_text": "806\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872]\n\nhere in a week, calling upon the Government to avenge the death of fifty-six Loochewans who were killed, without provocation, at Minca Island by people of Formosa. Four men-of-war are reported to be preparing to depart for Formosa as soon as the Loochewans arrive.\n\nguided the proceedings and decision of H.M.'s Consular Court at Kobe, that your Excellency should take such measures as you may deem requisite to prevent any recurrence of such proceedings, and to remove the discredit which appears to us to attach to the British Consulate at Kobe in consequence of its action in this case. We have the honour to be, your obedient servants,\n\nAn Italian gentleman lately proceeded to Koshiu, accompanied by three Japanese. On their arrival, the authorities, having elicited from the servants that the foreigner had no permit, and that he had come for the purpose of secretly purchasing silkworms' eggs, sent him back to Yokohama under escort.\n\nA meeting of the subscribers to Christ Church took place at the British Consulate. The object of the meeting was to decide on certain definite instructions to be sent to those gentlemen in England who are in correspondence with the Foreign-office, in respect of the chaplain's appointment at Yokohama. Mr. Consul Robertson occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings by reading the correspondence that had passed, and said there were two points on which the gentlemen at home wished to be assured before appointing a candidate for the post of chaplain. They were—First, the length of time that the appointment would be made for, and, second, the amount of salary the community would guarantee. A discussion took place on the matter, and the meeting adjourned, on the following motion by Mr. W. G. Howell, seconded by Mr. M. Smith:—\"That, in view of the financial position of the church, which does not seem to warrant any such extraordinary expenditure as would be involved by sending for a chaplain from England, the committee appointed to nominate a successor for Mr. Bailey be requested to stay further proceedings at home for the present.\"\n\nA dinner to the Consular Corps was given by Mr. Oye Tak, the Acting Governor. One of the head officials of the Foreign-office is shortly to start for Korea, with the object, it is stated, of ascertaining what the ideas of that Government are in relation to Japan.\n\nThe ex-Loando policemen who volunteered, in answer to an advertisement inserted in the papers at the time, to accept service as guards for the British Legation in Japan, in troublous times, when the safety of the Minister and minor officials was by no means assured, are to be dispensed with as no longer necessary. Notice has also been sent by the Government stating that guards for Legations furnished to the several Legations will in future not be supplied.\n\nHUDSON, MALCOLM AND CO. versus RANGAN.—Mr. F. V. Dickins appeared for the plaintiffs, and said that the present was a motion to determine the priority between two bills of sale. It appears that about a year ago Mr. A. G. Thompson, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Hudson, Malcolm and Co., and living at No. 75, gave a bill of sale over the movable property contained in those premises to W. Rangan, who had the bill of sale duly registered. Shortly after this had been effected, Thompson removed to the premises No. 219, taking with him the property already under bill of sale to Rangan, with his consent. Application was then made to Messrs. Hudson, Malcolm and Co. by Thompson for another loan on the same goods. No notice having reached Mr. Spence, who was acting for Messrs. Hudson, Malcolm and Co., that a prior bill of sale had been given, he granted the loan required, and took the bill of sale from Thompson. Mr. Rangan, landlord of No. 219, receiving no rent, put in an execution, took possession, and was about selling the property to satisfy his claim, when an injunction, which stopped the sale, was obtained from the Court. Rangan now affirms that the property mentioned in the second bill of sale is identical with that of his, and that therefore he has a prior claim. The question was therefore one of a purely legal character. Mr. Dickins then quoted the Bill of Sale Act of 1854 in support of his case, and argued that the property in the first bill of sale, described as \"situated on Lot 76,\" was not described in such a manner as to separate it from any other property of the grantor.\n\nHis Lordship said that the fact of removing the chattels could not invalidate the first bill of sale, the property having already passed into the possession of Rangan. Had the grantee of the second bill of sale examined the register, he would have found that a previous bill of sale had been given for a similar amount to Mr. Rangan. He should therefore dismiss the motion.\n\nTHE CASE OF MR. COUSENS.\n\nThe committee appointed at the late meeting at the Club, respecting the imprisonment of Mr. Cousens, have drawn up the memorials subjoined:—\n\nTo his Excellency R. G. Watson, Esq., H.B.M.'s Chargé d'Affaires in Japan.\n\nSir,—We have the honour to hand your Excellency herewith a copy of the Hiogo News of Sept. 4, containing a report of the trial before H.M.'s Consul at Kobe of a Mr. Cousens, for an assault on a Japanese coolie, and also the report of a committee of three gentlemen appointed by a meeting held at the United Club here on the 7th inst., to investigate the matter.\n\nMEMORIAL OF OTHER THAN BRITISH SUBJECTS.\n\nWe, the undersigned residents of Yokohama, of other than British nationality, desire to testify our cordial sympathy with our British fellow-residents in the views they have expressed about the imprisonment of a Mr. Cousens at Kobe for a trivial assault, and also express our opinion of the extreme propriety of the investigation of the affair which they request.\n\nThis report was adopted by a second meeting held at the United Club on the 14th Sept., and ordered to be presented to your Excellency, and H.M.'s Chief Judge of the Supreme Court.\n\nWe, the undersigned British residents of Yokohama, respectfully request that your Excellency should order a thorough investigation into all the circumstances of this case, and should you consider that the principles of law and justice have not been duly observed...\n\nCHINA.\n\nSHANGHAI\n\nWe have advices from this port to the 29th Sept.; the P. and O. mail, from London August 9, arrived out on the 15th Sept. The following items of news are from the North China Herald:—Excessive dullness has marked the present season in China: a market, in fact, can scarcely be said to exist for either imports or exports, each still simply seeking to fill up the requirements of the moment. There is no doubt that, both amongst Chinese and foreigners, there is a deep feeling of want of confidence. The former, influenced on the one hand by the large stock of imports which they fear may at any moment be placed suddenly on the market, and on the other by reports of disaster from the ordinary consuming districts, have ceased to be buyers, while the latter, influenced by continual unfavourable advices from Europe, where a crisis of some kind seems imminent, are in that uncertain state of mind that they know not, to-day, what circumstances may lead them to do next. Superadded to all this, a local tightness in the money market has more or less influence on the state of trade. This has had the effect of seriously raising the rate of exchange, and thereby interfering with the export trade. Altogether, matters at the present moment wear an aspect more unpromising than they have done for some three or four years, and unless some change takes place, we fear will result in serious loss.\n\nA notification has been published by the Officiating British Consul, Mr. Alabaster, inviting the assistance of the community in forming a complete collection of the silk manufactures of this district for the London International Exhibition of 1873. The variety of Chinese silk-piece goods, such as crapes, gauzes, silks, satins, and pongees, must be immense, but of these only a few kinds at present find a market at home, owing to the shopkeepers being either in ignorance of their existence or not knowing how to set about getting them. We believe it is intended to attach to the specimens, which will be exhibited in case portfolios, besides particulars of the length of the pieces as manufactured, the average cost, and other information specified in the notification, the names of those from whom they were obtained.\n\nMr. Joseph Haas, Interpreter to the Austro-Hungarian Consulate, resumes the duties of Assessor at the Mixed Court for the U. S. Consulate-General; Dr. McCartee, who has held the position of Interpreter to the Consulate-General for some months, having left Shanghai for Japan. While we may regret that we lose by Dr. McCartee's departure an able sinologue and an experienced official, we feel that the energetic and painstaking manner in which Mr. Haas formerly discharged the duties, ensures that they will continue to be well fulfilled.\n\nThe efforts made to get up an International Eight-oar race, Scotch v. English, for next regatta of the S.R.C., have failed, the English members having been obliged to withdraw. Though of considerable numerical strength, the English membership can at present barely furnish forth an eight of sufficient calibre and experience in rowing for such a contest, and defections in the team chosen have necessitated an intimation to the Scottish eight that the event cannot come off. An eight-oar race will still form part of the present programme, however, the Scottish eight having given a challenge to all the members of the Club who are of other nationalities.\n\nA cricket match, the Club Eleven v. Racket Court, has been played. On the first day's play, it looked a \"moral\" for the Club, which got 168 in the first innings, while the Court lost seven of its best wickets for 29. The wickets were pitched again the following day, when the Racket Court made its score for the first innings up to 44, and then went to bat again. This time it made 195 for six wickets, when the game had to be left off. Mi-ho-loongs v. the World is announced.\n\nA match between the Mih-ho-loongs have had a company drill, when about thirty men turned out. We understand that a regulation has been passed to take off the rolls of the company the name of any member who misses two consecutive drills, unless sufficient cause for absence is shown. We believe the esprit of the company is strong enough to stand this discipline; and it is certainly hard on men who have devoted time to drill, to have the good effect lost on parade by the awkwardness of the undrilled.\n\nOperations for the raising of the wreck of the Lismore are in active progress.\n\nThe Annie Porter, sunk in the former endeavour to raise the Lismore by buoying her to two vessels, will be blown up, and the attempt next made to raise the steamer by means of apparatus specially imported for the purpose. The Hopewell and Aracon were placed in the Old Dock on Monday last; the former to repair the damage sustained in the collision with the Annie Gray, and the latter for a general overhauling previous to loading teas for London. The Annie Gray is still at anchor in the river, in a disabled condition, being minus her foremast.\n\nMr. T. Fitzroy Rice will proceed to Japan by the next French mail steamer, having accepted an appointment with a view to organising a police force in that country.\n\nA fire broke out at Messrs. Reynolds and Co.'s godown in Wyndham-street, among some loose straw. The alarm was promptly given, but the fire was extinguished by the assistance of about a dozen gentlemen on the spot, before the engines arrived. The damage done was not of any magnitude.\n\nThe twelfth performance by the Wind Instrument Company has been given, and was largely attended. The night was mild and pleasant, and the music a culmination of the general excellence which has characterised the performances during the season. Among the passengers by the last American mail, homeward, was the Austro-Hungarian Minister, Chevalier Calicé, who will be absent from China for twelve months.\n\nOur Hankow correspondent writes:—We have been favoured, within the last few weeks, with a Post-office; a privilege which, I believe, will be highly appreciated by a good portion of the community. The duties of Postmaster are discharged at present by E. L. Oxenham, Esq., of H.M.'s Consulate. A Masonic Lodge has also just been opened here; and if report be true, it is likely to have a distinguished band of members enrolled in its records. Hankow, just now, presents an ample field for the exercise of any such moral influence as Freemasonry. Let us hope its claims as a moral force will be duly verified. A fire has occurred in which the ice-house, which belongs to foreigners, alone was burned. It is undoubtedly a case of incendiarism.\n\nThe following items are from the Shanghai Courier:—The prospectus of the new company of which we have heard for some time as being in course of organisation to compete with the Pacific Mail Company—The China Trans-Pacific Steamship Company (Limited) has appeared; Messrs. Russell and Co. are the agents, and 2,000 of the shares are reserved for allotment in China.\n\nWe are glad to observe that the Canton Daily Shipping News has at length blossomed into a full-blown newspaper.\n\nH.I.H. the Grand Duke Alexis and suite, accompanied by H.E. Sir Arthur Kennedy and H.E. the Russian Admiral, visited the Sing Ping Theatre. The piece played immediately on the arrival of the distinguished visitors was that of \"The Eight Genii,\" congratulating the Queen of Heaven on the anniversary of her birth. This piece was not very interesting, but occupied only a very short time, the object being to show respect to the distinguished spectator. Eight actors, representing the eight Genii, came out and worshipped in pairs in front of the stage. The next piece played was the State Installation of Soo Chun, an eminent politician who flourished in the Chow Dynasty, into the office of Premier or Chief Councillor for the Confederation of the Six States.\n\nThe prospectus of the China Trans-Pacific Steam Ship Company has been circulated by Messrs. Russell and Co., as agents, at Hong Kong, and inviting subscribers to the capital. The Directors announced are:—Edward Henry Green, Chairman; W. Wetmore Cryder, E. M. de Bossche, W. J. Alt, Edward Cunningham, Alexander Grant Dallas, Gilson Homan, with power to increase their number to fifteen.\n\nWe learn that on the 25th Sept. the engines of the frigate launched some months ago at Kaou-Chang-Menon Arsenal, were at work under steam for six hours. Everything has been found in the most satisfactory state, and the powerful machinery was started and went steadily on without the slightest hitch; the result being that she is authoritatively pronounced ready to proceed on her official trip.\n\nThe Italian Consul is about to take a census of all Italian subjects resident or travelling in China, and accordingly requests all such to bring or send to his Consulate, verbally or in writing, particulars regarding themselves under twelve different headings, such as—Name, surname and parentage, place of birth, age, education, religion, how long they have left Italy, &c. &c.\n\nThe first pontoon for the free ferry has been placed in position on the north side of the Soochow Creek, opposite the north end of Gnaomen-road. The abutment of the ferry on the southern side is also approaching completion.\n\nHONG KONG. Dates extend to the 5th Oct. The P. and O. mail of the 23rd Aug. arrived out on the 1st Oct.\n\nA ball was given at the City Hall by the Hong Kong Club, in honour of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexis, and went off with much success. His Imperial Highness, accompanied by his suite, and his Excellency the Governor, Lady Kennedy, and Miss Kennedy, arrived shortly after ten o'clock, and the Grand Duke led off the first quadrille with Lady Kennedy. Among the guests present were Admiral Possiet and the officers of the Svelland, and of the other Russian men-of-war in harbour, Sir Brooke Robertson, the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney-General, and other members of the Local Government. Dancing was kept up with energy until a late hour, his Imperial Highness affording much gratification by his courteous and genial demeanour. The decorations were very tasteful, and the arrangements generally very good.\n\nArrangements have been made for the delivery of a series of excellent lectures at the St. Andrew's Hall, in the City Hall Building. Several very interesting subjects are on the programme, the first lecture being Dr. Legge's reminiscences of life in China, and there also being a lecture from Dr. Eitel on Feng Shui. The proceeds of the lectures, for the series of which a fee of $5 will be charged, will go to the City Hall Library. We are confident that this valuable addition to our intellectual amusements will be well supported, and are glad to hear that H.E. Sir Arthur Kennedy has promised to give every assistance, and will be present at the first lecture.\n\nA correspondent at Macao calls attention to a new feature in the coolie trade, which is worthy of notice. It appears that arrangements are being made for the shipment, in an Italian steamer, of a large number of coolies to Costa Rica, a Republican state to the North of Panama, and stretching between the Atlantic and the Pacific. The object with which the men are being sent is understood to be to assist in building a railway. The difficulty, however, is that Costa Rica has no relations either with Portugal or China, and consequently the men will be without even the moderate amount of protection afforded to the emigrants to Peru. It is understood that such an arrangement would not be countenanced by the Portuguese Government, and that the Superintendent of Emigration at Macao has protested against the step, but it appears that the Governor has not yet felt called upon to intervene. The place to which the men are being sent is described as a most difficult country, and the coolies will have great hardship in reaching their destination, whether they land on the Atlantic or the Pacific side.\n\nTHE CHINA AND JAPAN MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY.\n\nThe directors, in submitting to the shareholders a statement of the company's accounts to the 30th June last, are pleased to be able to report most satisfactorily on the progress of their business, the net premia taken during the first six months of the present year amounting to Tls. 143,066.68, against Tls. 116,493.32 for the same period of 1871.\n\nThe losses paid, it will be observed, amount to Tls. 97,107.00, the great portion of the same belonging to last year, to provide for which a sum of Tls. 77,536.30 was brought forward from the 31st December, 1871. After payment of the said losses, of all current expenses, and of the half-yearly interest dividend to the 30th June, and after writing off the balance of Messrs. Trautmang and Co.'s remuneration, a sum of Tls. 86,821.17 remained at debit of working account, to be carried forward.\n\nThe net Premia earned from the 1st July to the 30th Sept. are estimated at Tls. 85,000, while the losses and claims reported to date, beyond those paid previous to the 1st July, and expenses on treasure salved, ex P.M. steamer America, amount to Tls. 42,000.\n\nMr. Framjee Hormusjee resigned his seat on the board on his departure from China, and the selection of his successor engages the attention of the directors.\n\nSIAM.\n\nBANGKOK.\n\nThe Siam Advertiser has the following:—\n\nHis Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs gave an evening party at his residence, in honour of the King's birthday, to which most of the European residents were invited. The attendance was large, and dancing was kept up till early in the morning. The residence of the Minister, it is said, was brilliantly illuminated, and some of the Siamese nobles performed quite gracefully their parts in the dances in which they participated. For three successive nights the natives vied with each other in illuminating their residences, and on these occasions many of these places had a very fascinating and fairy-like appearance.\n\nA dinner was given in the palace to some of the Princes, and a dinner was given to prominent Siamese officials, and to some of the Europeans in Siamese employ. This dinner was served in a new and beautiful hall in the palace. His Majesty honoured his guests with his presence, and dined in the same hall at a separate table. These demonstrations on the part of his Majesty indicate the good will of the young King to foreigners.\n\nThere is now a rumour afloat that two loads of lead pieces came to Siam not long since; one of these loads was given as a bribe to some prominent nobleman, which secured for them an entrance into the country. The rumour does not indicate whether these vessels were square-rigged vessels or native-rigged craft, nor do they indicate the person who was bribed. We have no means of knowing whether this rumour is true or false; it may be wholly false; it may be partly true. This is true, however, there is at present a panic about the lead pieces; those who have many on hand are ready to sell them at a depreciated value, and many of the petty traders refuse to take them as change.\n\nPage 807\n\nNov. 18, 1872.]\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\n203",

MAY,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\n### Government of New Zealand.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27 of 1878.]\n\nMarine Department, Wellington, 30th October, 1878. The following letter, received from Captain Mies of the brig `Rio Loge`, relative to the position of Rennels and Bellona Islands, is published for general information.\n\nG. GREY.\n\n### RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878.\n\nSIR-I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig `Rio Loge`. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as \"doubtful\" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12' south latitude, and 160° 10' east longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30' south latitude, and 160° 8' east longitude, making an error of 18' in latitude and 2' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the N.W. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.E. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 49' east, approximate. Rennels Island and Bellona bear from each other N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.\n\nI cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:-\n\nRennels Island is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 600 to 800 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.\n\nTrusting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nEDWARD MILES,\nMaster `Rio Loge`.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JANUARY, 1879.\n\n### Government of India.\n\n## DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, AGRICULTURE, AND COMMERCE.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27.]\n\nBAY OF BENGAL-GODAVERY DISTRICT-COCANADA. Intended Exhibition of Revolving light at Vakalepudi.\n\nNotice is hereby given that owing to the extension of the mud deposits from the Godavery river and the consequent removal of the anchorage to the northward, the light at present shown on the north side of the entrance to the Cocanada river is of little use, and that on and after the 15th of January 1879 this light will be extinguished, and a new light exhibited at Vakalapudi, which lies 4.0 nautical miles N. by E. ¼ E. from the present light-house.\n\nThe light will be a revolving white light, showing a flash every 20 seconds, elevated 80 feet above high water, and in clear weather should be visible from a distance of 14 miles, in every direction seaward.\n\nThe illuminating apparatus is catadioptric, or by reflectors and lenses of the fourth order. Position: Latitude 17° 0' 40\" N., longitude 82° 16' 30\" E. Further notice will be given when the light is exhibited.\n\n[The bearings are Magnetic, Variation 2° 0' Easterly in 1878.]\n\nBy Direction of the Government of India,\n\nR. C. CARRINGTON, Chief Civil Assistant, for\nA. DUNDAS TAYLOR, Comdr. (late I. N.), Superintendent, Marine Survey of India.\n\nMARINE SURVEY DEPARTMENT, CALCUTTA, 18th December, 1878.\n\nThis Notice affects the following Indian Marine Survey Charts, Coringa or Cocanada bay, No. 113; Narsapur point to Pabayras point, No. 1172; Cape Comorin to Coconada, No. 164; and Admiralty charts of Coringa or Cocanada bay, No. 81; Coromandel Coast, No. 71a; Cape Comorin & Ceanada, No. 828; Cocanada to Bassein, No. 829; Bay of Bengal, western part, No. 70a; Indian Ocean, northern portion, No. 7485; and Indian Marine Survey and Admiralty Light lists for 1878; and Taylor's Sailing Directory, Vol. I, page 464.\n\nIf this Notice is received on board ship, the substance of it should be inserted on the Charts affected by it, and introduced into the Sailing Directions to which it relates.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\nUnclaimed Correspondence, 17th January, 1879.\n\n| Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- |\n| Abbey Cowper | Aleppo |\n| Adamson, Ann | Alexandria |\n| Ainsbury, A. | Alarmurs |\n| Ainslie, Mrs. M. | Alice |\n| Ainsworth, Wm. | Alcone |\n| Amicable Ins.

        "content_text": "Enclosure N3\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, August 15th, 1883.\n\nCANTON.\n\n[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]\n\n14th August.\n\nA serious affair occurred here on Sunday. A member of the outdoor staff of the Foreign Customs, who lives in Honam, being, as is stated, under the influence of drink, went to a tea shop and began to interfere with the workmen, teasing or beating them. One of the latter became angry and returned the blows, when the other cried out \"tah\" and all set on the foreigner. The man ran to his house, pursued by the workmen. On his arrival there, a woman in the house, apparently afraid of the crowd, shut the door and would not admit him, but she handed him out a revolver, whether at his own request or not is not known. When the foreigner got the weapon, he fired several shots, one of which killed a lad fourteen years of age who was passing. A man and woman were also wounded. Directly news of the affair reached the prefect, he went to the scene of the disturbance, and had the foreigner and two of his comrades, also members of the Customs staff, arrested and handed over to the German Consul.\n\nA proclamation was issued to pacify the mob, and soldiers were sent to the spot to guard against any further disturbance.\n\nThe China Mail.\n\nHONGKONG, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1883.\n\nCanton.\n\n(From a Correspondent.)\n\nAugust 16, 1883.\n\nI wish to correct a mistake I made respecting the nationalities of the three men now in custody for killing a Chinese boy and wounding a Chinaman and woman. One is an Englishman, who I believe fired the revolver, another is a Russian, and the third is a Norwegian. The Russian wisely committed himself to the care of the English Consul, preferring confinement within the Consular prison to being handed over to the tender mercies of the Chinese authorities, such being the only alternative, inasmuch as there is no Russian Consul here. The Norwegian has the advantage of Consular protection, in the person of J. B. Cunningham, Esq.\n\nThe magisterial investigation is proceeding, the witnesses being all Chinese. It appears that the three foreigners hit five men, but none has as yet been brought forward as a witness.\n\nConsiderable excitement still prevails. Inflammatory placards have been put up by some evil-disposed persons stating that the Mandarins are of no use, that they give way to foreigners to the injury of their own countrymen, being merely tools in the hands of the Foreign Consuls, and therefore it is high time the people took matters into their own hands and dealt out summary justice. This is very serious.\n\nThe Mandarins have issued a proclamation tending to pacify the people. Should the wounded man or woman die, no one can tell what turn events might take, but we hope that the crisis has been passed.\n\nFortunately, in this case, Honam, or the south side of the river, is in the Poon-tin district, and the \"no-belong-my-pidgin\" policy of the Chinese is favourable to peace on the north side of the river, which belongs to the Nam-hui district. As Shameen is situated, and most foreigners reside, on the North side, it is to the interest of the Nam-hoi Magistrates to prevent the excitement from spreading over the river and disturbing their district.\n\nWe regret that H.B.M. gunboat Cockchafer has returned to Hongkong. We are decidedly of opinion that one ought to be here. The length of time that must elapse before the trial can even commence, and the difference between English and Chinese ideas of justice will certainly not tend to subside the present excitement. Commodore Cuming would receive the thanks of all foreigners in Canton if a gunboat could be despatched to Canton to await the close of the trial. The Cantonese are the most excitable of all Chinese, and too much caution cannot be exercised. The effects of this affair will take years of cautious dealing and friendly intercourse to obliterate.\n\nWe were beginning to congratulate ourselves on the amicable relations existing between foreigners and natives, which have more or less received a shock.",

        "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",

        "content_text": "## REGINA v. LOGAN.\n\nkept lifting the revolver up and down from his side, but he did not use it. We went as far as Hing Kee's.\n\nWere you on or near the bridge together once or more than once that morning?-Only once.\n\nDid you see any Chinese woman near the prisoner's house asking him to cure her?-That was after we came back. After we went to Hing Kee's we returned to Mr. Logan's house. When we got back there I did not see Neilson still there.\n\nThe whole of that morning did you see Neilsen with any firearms?-No.\n\nDid you yourself at any time that morning use firearms?-No.\n\nWhen you got back to the prisoner's house from Hing Kee's what happened?-When we got to Mr. Logan's house I saw an old woman at the door.\n\nWas there anything the matter with her that you saw?-She said she was wounded, and I think she was wounded in the left shoulder. She said some people told her that she had been wounded by Mr. Logan; she was telling this in Chinese to a Chinese woman in the house. Mrs. Logan (the Chinese woman) said to Mr. Logan that the woman had been wounded by English. Mrs. Logan said nothing else. Mr. Logan said \"She may have been wounded somewhere else; tell her to go away.\"\n\nDid he do anything to her; did she go away?-I do not know, both I and Mr. Logan went into the house.\n\nDid anything else happen there while the woman was there?-No.\n\nWere there any Chinese about while the woman was speaking?-There were a few.\n\nWhen you went into the house what happened?-We sat down and the two revolvers were put upon the table. I picked up the white-handled revolver, and I asked Mr. Logan if I could draw the charges because it was not necessary to use them. He said \"yes.\" I took the revolver in my hand and I tried to open it by the back spring, but I could not. I asked Mr. Logan then if I might fire it off into a pond behind his house. He said \"yes,\" and I went to the back verandah and Mr. Logan came and stood beside me and I fired off I think five shots from the revolver. Then I handed the revolver to Mr. Logan, who laid it on the table. Then he said afterwards-\"I must load it again in case they attack me again after you are gone,\" and he did so.\n\nAfter you got into the house did you or the prisoner fire any barrels of the black revolver?-No.\n\nWas it reloaded by the prisoner in your presence?-No.\n\nNot counting the shots you fired into the pond how many shots did you hear?-I only heard one, when Mr. Logan fired in the street.\n\nCan you give us any idea of how the woman was wounded?-I do not know.\n\nWhen you got near the prisoner's house first there was a mob east and west of it?-Yes, on both sides.\n\nWhat chased away the mob to the west? You have said you chased those to the east.-I do not know, I was at the east all the time.\n\nAre you quite sure it was a revolver the prisoner had in his hand?-Yes it was the black revolver; he fired with it.\n\nYou have told us that two or three times you tried to persuade the prisoner not to make use of firearms?-Yes.\n\nThen you did not think there was any danger of your lives?-It was dangerous at first when the mob were throwing stones, but then they ran.\n\nWhen he was on bridge did you think so?-I thought it dangerous to fire, and I told him not to do so.\n\nDid you think at the time there was any necessity for firing?\n\nMr. Wise objected to the question:\n\nHis Lordship-That is not a proper question. Ask him what they were doing and let the jury draw their inference.\n\nMr. Francis-What was the crowd doing when he fired?-They were running away.\n\nWas anyone attacking you?-No, they were not attacking him nor me; they were singing out \"ta ta.\"\n\nWas there any attack made on the house while you were in it?-No.\n\nDo you remember clearly everything that passed that day, or not?-I remember nearly everything that happened.\n\nHow long was it after you left Neilsen's house at half-past six that you went to Hing Kee's?-I think it was about a quarter to seven.\n\nDo you remember seeing the Chinese boy or the Chinese woman you call Mrs. Logan that morning?-She was there when I saw the old woman. I did not see the black revolver loaded by anyone.\n\nDid the prisoner go on the bridge more than once?-I did not see him more than once.\n\nCould he have gone on the bridge before six o'clock?-I cannot say. I ought to have seen him if he had because he must have gone past me.\n\nDo you recollect seeing a Parsee and were you and Logan talking to him that morning on the bridge?-No.\n\nHave you any recollection of a dog being struck in the street?-No.\n\nWas the prisoner's door open or shut when you first arrived?-I don't recollect.\n\nI have no recollection while I was in the street of hearing anyone asking what was the matter.\n\nThere are other Europeans living in the same street close to the prisoner's house.\n\nLogan did not go away into the eastward after speaking to the old woman; he went right upstairs.\n\nCan you tell us if there were any stones or bricks inside the prisoner's house?-There were some stones in there, but I don't know how they got there. Logan's front door opens into an empty room.\n\nThe greater part of the time since the 12th August I have been in prison here, in the same cell with Neilsen and the prisoner at first, and when Neilsen went away, Logan and I were together.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Wise-Did you not say you did not see how the prisoner got the revolver?\n\nWitness-Yes. I did not see him load it. I went on duty on the `Kiang Ping`, at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, and remained there till twelve that night.\n\nHave you any idea of what Neilson was struggling with Chinese about?-No, but I have been told by Chinese that he kicked a dog. I am quite sure Neilsen had a blue coat and trousers on.\n\nDid you see the prisoner strike any coolies with a stick that morning?-No.\n\nShow me how Logan used this revolver that morning.\n\nWitness showed, pointing the revolver slightly upwards from the level of his face.\n\nDid Logan kneel down?-No.\n\nAre you sure?-Yes. Logan said nothing about frightening the Chinese when he said they were firing at him. I left Neilson at Logan's house, and when I came back from Hing Kee's he was gone.\n\nWitness-He went towards the bridge, but I did not see him go beyond Matsen's house.\n\nHow did Mr. Logan get the watchmen into trouble?-Some Chinese broke into his house about a week before and stole things and then Mr. Logan reported it and got the watchmen into trouble.\n\nA juryman-Do you know any of those watchmen who got into trouble?\n\nWitness-No.\n\nDid you go on board the `Kiang Ping` at eight in the morning, and remain till twelve at night?-Yes we board at Macao, and come up with her.

Have you any firearms in your house?\n\nWitness-No.\n\nHad Neilson any?-I do not know.\n\nHad the prisoner any besides those revolvers?-I did not see any.\n\nDid you see any other firearm in the street that day?-No.\n\nDid you not hear more than one report?-No.\n\n## 23\n\nMr. Theodore Bliss Cunningham said-I am an American subject, of the firm of Messrs. Russell & Co., and am Vice Consul for Sweden and Norway. The man Neilson was released here, and has gone to Shanghai. I have not seen him here since. I was present in court here with Dr. Hance during the preliminary investigation. I saw a revolver very like the black one produced at that examination. I put a little bit of silk handkerchief into the muzzle of it at the time, and the result was it was blackened, and I concluded from that the pistol had been fired since it had been cleaned.\n\nMr. Francis-Can you say whether it had been recently fired or not?\n\nWitness-I could not form an opinion.\n\nHow long were you going from the bridge to Hing Kee's and back?-About ten minutes.\n\nYou say there was a mob to the east and a mob to the west. Can you guess how that mob was caused?-I don't know, but when we went upstairs we were talking the matter over, I said, \"There will be some trouble about this\" and Logan said, \"I cannot help it; the Chinese have been breaking into my house, and stolen my property, and now they commence to stone me.\" He also said \"It is through those watchmen, because I have got them into trouble.\"\n\nWhere was Neilsen when you were first in the street?-He was with the crowd to the west.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Wise-The preliminary examination before the Consul lasted several days. I do not recollect the date Neilsen went to Shanghai.\n\nWhen you saw this crowd collecting were you frightened at first?-Yes, I was frightened at first.\n\nWas anyone hit besides yourself in this stone throwing?-Mr. Neilsen was hit.\n\nRe-examined by the Crown Advocate. Did Neilson go towards the bridge that day?\n\nMr. Wise said he wished to know it, and the matter being looked up, it was found Neilson was called as a witness at the preliminary hearing on the 31st August, and left Canton early in September.\n\n## 26\n\nSit Ming Kuk, being sworn as a Christian, said in English-I am a Chinese subject, and am an older in Nam Ngon-street, where I have...",

The Governor observes with satisfaction that the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce are prepared to accept cheerfully the increased taxation that will probably be necessary to meet the heavy expenses of contemplated measures for the general improvement of sanitation.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour most obedient servant,\n\nT. SERCOMBE SMITH,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nTHE SECRETARY,\n\nChamber of Commerce.\n\n31.The foregoing statements prove that the local Government has failed to give effect, save in a very qualified form, to the measures so frequently urged upon it by its own Medical Officers and other experts; its efforts, so far, have met with so little result, indeed, that the Colony is now suffering severely from the annually recurring visitations of plague and, in a lesser degree, of enteric fever and small-pox. The inadequacy of the measures adopted by the local Government in dealing with so grave a crisis may, we submit, be regarded as equivalent to a tacit admission on its part that it is beyond its Power, of its own initiative, to undertake the gigantic task which a thorough and efficient reform of the Sanitary conditions of the Colony, with the heavy expenditure and sacrifices attending it, would involve\n\nThe conviction has consequently been forced upon us that no really effectual measures will be taken to grapple with the Sanitary problems of the Colony and to arrest the progress of disease until an appeal is made to the responsible Minister of State for his intervention. These annual epidemics are pressing acutely on the Commerce and Industries of the Colony, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain labour, whether European or Chinese. This year the Plague has again produced a cessation of Emigration, and the loss to the Shipping and Trade generally through quarantine restrictions and other delays has been very great. Native workmen are leaving Hongkong in thousands, and there is not an important industry or commercial undertaking in the Colony, employing and dependent on Chinese labour, that has not suffered.\n\nUnder the circumstances hereinbefore referred to your Petitioners most humbly Pray that you will be pleased\n\nthis 25th day of June, 1901.\n\n1.-To appoint a Commission consisting of a person or persons wholly unconnected with the Colony to proceed forthwith to Hongkong to investigate and report\n\n(a) On the Sanitary Condition of the Colony; (b) On the measures to be adopted for the improvement of the City of Victoria and of the Colony as it at present exists.\n\n2.That you will be pleased to attach to the said Commission some independent Sanitary Expert to advise.\n\n3. That after receiving and considering the Report of such Commission, you will give directions for the Recommendations of that Commission to be forthwith carried into effect.\n\nT. H. WHITEHEAD, J.P.

        "content_text": "Remarks.\n\nExtract.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nNewspaper Extract.\n\nFRENCH AMBITION IN SOUTH CHINA.---- Mr. A. Cunningham writes as follows in the \"Kobe Herald\n\nWhilst public attention is centered on Manchuria and the diplomatic contest at Peking, the matter which is actually of far greater importance to Great Britain, United States, and Japan is being overlooked. That is the aggression of France in South China, and the general situation in the Southern provinces. The coincidence of Russian demands in the North and French demands in the South, both sudden in their official application, suggests concerted action. France, if she had actually been much distressed or threatened by the rebellion in Kwangsi, might well have appealed to China for its suppression months ago. In fact, from an Imperial aspect the Chinese Government should be better able to cope with the rebellion and crush it now than it could have done hitherto, China, it is reported, is dispatching her ablest General, Tung Fu Siang, with his well-drilled and well-equipped troops, to take the matter in hand.\n\nRemarks.\n\nNot Tung Fuh Siang, but the active and able Viceroy of Szechuen, Ts'ên Ch'un-hsüan.\n\nExtract.\n\nThere is not, and never has been, any fear of Tonquin being invaded by the numerous bands of brigands now disturbing the two Kwangs. The desolate, mountainous boundary of Tonquin and Kwangsi is effectively fortified by France and China, and is strongly garrisoned by French troops, so that France need not expect attacks, as in the past, from Chinese bandits. Even those raids were the consequence of her seizure of the territory, in clearing the country of Black Flags, and were not predatory movements. There is nothing on the wild and precipitous highlands of the Tonquin border likely to invite attacks from either Chinese revolutionist or brigand. The French are acquiring certain railway interests in Yunnan, but the inhabitants of this province are not feared by the French as being anti-foreign, and if they were France has very little there at present to lose. The only remaining point at which French territorial interests are likely to suffer from the troubles in South China, is the Colony (to call it by its real name) of Kwangchauwan. Here, given opportunity, the expenditure of much money, and a wise policy of self-government, French interests may one day become important; at present commercially they do not amount to a row of pins. Where, then, may well be asked, do French fears arising from the unsettled state of South China come in?\n\nFrance has nothing actually to fear territorially, and the only possible assumption is that the unsettled condition of the two Kwangs has caused the French Minister to feel uneasy concerning French commercial interests in Kwangtung-first, at Kwangchauwan; secondly, at Canton. At Kwangchauwan French vested commercial interests at present are naturally small, and the French troops there, in conjunction with the fleet, are amply sufficient to deal with any rebel force which might possibly attack the settlement. There is but little loot in that Colony to attract rebels, therefore no fears need be entertained concerning the existence of this place, unless they be felt from a strong organized movement of patriotic Chinese actuated by feelings of resentment against the original acquisition of that territory by France. Such is unlikely.\n\nAt Canton, however, the French have vested interests, concerning which, it is conceivable, they may be anxious. For the last three years France has liberally encouraged national enterprise in this important city, and M. Doumer, the former Progressive Governor of Indo-China, publicly admitted that much money from that Colony was annually devoted to the promotion of French interests-political and commercial-in South China. Numerous French enterprises at Canton have been munificently subsidized. For the small steam-ship service between Canton and Hong Kong, I think 90,000 dollars annually is paid by the French Government, which service is in no way, however, to be compared to that provided by the Hong Kong and Macao Steam-ship Company (Limited), which flourishes on its merits. The French Consul-General there has been very conspicuous by his activity. The arbitrary official methods employed almost secured for France the cession of all mining and railway rights in Kwangtung and Kwansi. In this Li Hung-chang was quiescent, but neglected to sign the Agreement; and his death put an end to the hopes which the French Representative had built upon that precious document. Only recently the Secretary-General of the Government of Indo-China journeyed in a cruiser to Canton in order to present the Acting Viceroy and another official with the Order of the Légion d'Honneur, and, incidentally, to discuss a\n\n[2021 y-1]\n\nThere is not the slightest chance of any attack on the French in Kwang-chauwan.\n\nAll they got out of the Viceroy was 800 dollars towards a French school for Chinese students.\n\nB 2",

We have not overlooked the fact that the boundary laid down by Sir George Scott extends in parts beyond that shown on the map appended to the Agreement of 1897. The reasons for this divergence, however, are clearly stated in the report of Sir George Scott's operations on this portion of the frontier, and we agree with the Lieutenant-Governor in considering it desirable to secure a formal recognition of the boundary which we claim. That the apprehensions expressed in the penultimate paragraph of the Burmah letter are by no means imaginary is shown by the list of Chinese forts given at p. 43 of the Annual Report on the Administration of the Northern Shan States for the year 1902-1903. Of the posts* there mentioned, all except the first (Kawng-Hso) are on the British side of the boundary, and should be removed without delay. We accordingly commend Sir Hugh Barnes' proposals for the favourable consideration of His Majesty's Government.\n\n3. A later letter from the Burmah Government, of which copy is inclosed, gives cover to a report of a fight between Chinese and Was in the neighbourhood of the undemarcated frontier.\n\n4. A copy of this despatch, with inclosures, is under transmission to Sir E. Satow.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nSir,\n\nWe have, &c. (Signed)\n\nCURZON.\n\nT. RALEIGH.\n\nE. F.-G. LAW.\n\nE. R. ELLES.\n\nA. T. ARUNDEL.\n\nDENZIL IBBETSON.\n\nGovernment of Burmah to Government of India.\n\nRangoon, September 4, 1903.\n\nI am directed to address you regarding that portion of the Burmah-Chinese frontier between the Namting River on the north and Nalawt on the south, which has not yet been finally demarcated in agreement with the Chinese. The position on this part of the border was discussed with Sir Ernest Satow during his recent visit to Rangoon.\n\n2. The existing state of affairs and the events that immediately led up to it may be summed up as follows:-\n\nIn the third season (1899-1900) of the operations of the Burmah-China Boundary Commission, the section of the frontier that remained for demarcation was the country between the confluence of the Nam Hsang with the Namting on the north and Pangsang-Nalawt on the Nam Hka to the south. After three cairns had been erected, which determined the spur up which the boundary should proceed from the Namting towards the Salween-Mekong watershed, the British and Chinese Commissioners failed to agree.\n\nThe latter maintained that the \"lofty mountain range called Kong-ming-shan,\" mentioned in Article 3 of the Agreement of the 4th February, 1897, was the hill known to us as Loi Mu, which is a peak and not a range, while the former declared it to be the Salween-Mekong watershed as is obviously the intention of Article 3 of the Agreement, and as is clearly shown in the map that is attached to it. The contention of the British Commissioner was also supported by the figures of latitude and longitude given in the text of the Agreement, but the Chinese Commissioners refused to accept these arguments, and advanced the counter-claim that the integrity of the Sawbwa-ships of Kengma, Mengtung, and Mengko which are left to China by the Agreement must be maintained. As regards these three States it was ascertained that Kengma does not touch the boundary at all. On the other hand, Mengko and Mengtung, which is subordinate to Mengko, undoubtedly possess small settlements in distant valleys within the Wa country on the British side of the frontier,\n\n  \n    Kawng-Hso, Yong Hkam, Mang Nawng, Long Kan, Pang Long, Kan Lan, Mong Hka, Tamlaolong, and Pupang six of these posts are marked on the inclosed map, the last two are believed to be in the unsurveyed blank area to the north of Mông Hka.\n  \n\nthe inhabitants of which act as middlemen in matters of trade with the Wa hillmen. But it was found impossible to exclude all these settlements from British territory by any boundary line that followed natural features or conformed to the line laid down by the Agreement, nor did they appear to be of much importance. Some compromises were, nevertheless, suggested by Sir George Scott both in the north and south, but they were refused by the Chinese Commissioners, who persistently declined to accept the map attached to the Agreement, and produced an inaccurate map of their own on which they professed to rely. The British Commissioner therefore adopted eventually the course which Sir Claude MacDonald foreshadowed in his despatch No. 187, dated the 15th September, 1898, and proceeded to ascertain the boundary single-handed. A single cairn (numbered 4) was erected to the south at a point where the frontier reaches the Nam Hka, and the line adopted between that point and the third cairn on the spur touching the Namting was drawn as nearly as possible in accordance with the Agreement of 1897, and was indicated on a map, and explained by a written description. Copies of both the map and the description were furnished to the Chinese Commissioners with the request that the local Chinese officials might be instructed to respect this frontier. The Chinese Commissioners declared, in reply, that cairn No. 4 had been destroyed, and they refused to accept the line indicated to them.\n\nAt the time that the Boundary Commission withdrew, Mengko, according to Sir George Scott, possessed a few villages inside the frontier; Mengtung had complete control of Mong Hsaw; Chinese miners were working silver mines on the Mong Hka hill; Mong Hka itself, on the upper waters of the Nam Hka, was held by a few Chinese soldiers, and a line of Chinese stockades stood on the Wa Pet Ken, or 'gold tract boundary, some in British territory, some in Chinese. There is no reason to suppose that this situation is in any way changed, and reports have been received in the Northern Shan States that the Chinese have recently had engagements with the Wa \"above Mong Hka,\" and near the sources of the Nam Hka, that is to say, well inside the British boundary.\n\nSince April 1900 no British officer has visited any portion of this border.\n\nA letter from Mr. Litton, dated the 18th May last, reports risings in the district of Chen Pien, and raids by the Wa above Mengtung on Kengma. The Chinese claim to have driven them back. The truth probably is that the Wa, having made their raid, retired to their hills, and that the subsequent attempt of the Chinese to punish them has resulted in the Chinese crossing the frontier. It may be regarded as certain that these encroachments will from time to time be repeated, and as we do not administer the Wa country we have no means locally of preventing them.\n\n3. In the despatch from His Majesty's Secretary of State for India, dated the 2nd November, 1900, it was decided that the provisional line of frontier, namely, either that indicated on the map attached to the Agreement of 1897, or any line on the British side of it which has been formally pointed out to the Chinese Government as the British frontier may be provisionally regarded as the frontier of British Burmah pending a final settlement of the matter.\n\nIt is understood from this despatch, and also from Sir W. Cunningham's letter, dated the 27th July, 1900, that on the particular part of the frontier now under consideration, namely, from the Namting to Nalawi, the line of border decided upon is that which, as described in the preceding paragraph, was ascertained and marked on a map by Mr. (now Sir G.) Scott and explained by him to the Chinese Commissioners. But although the Chinese officers on the Commission were plainly requested to respect this boundary, it does not appear that any communication has been made to the Chinese Government on the subject, and Sir Ernest Satow stated that he did not recollect that the matter had ever been brought to his notice, or that he had at any time received instructions to address the Chinese Government in regard to it. Satow was of opinion that he should now be instructed to explain the position fully to the Chinese Government, and to invite them to accept finally the line laid down by Sir George Scott which, as it will be easy to show, is in accordance with the Agreement of 1897.\n\nThe Lieutenant-Governor concurs in this recommendation. Although the line in question is not a very good line from an administrative point of view, in that it intersects the country of the Was,* nevertheless it represents all, or nearly all, that we are entitled to claim under the Agreement of 1897, and if it is accepted by the Chinese...\n\n* Vide Mr. Bayne's letter, dated June 23, 1900, paragraph 6.\n\nPage 55",

These new men are all under the old terms of service.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**PELHAM WARREN**.\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n### Extract from the Police Daily Report of March 11, 1907.\n\n#### Attack by Armed Robbers.\n\nAT 2 A.M. on the 11th instant Ling Ong Gaw, dog-cart coolie, reported at the West Hongkew station that a number of armed natives had attacked Police-constable 286 (native) on the Elgin Road. constable Butler, who was on charge-room duty, went into the compound and met Police-constable (72) Morrow coming into the station, and told him to go round to the Elgin Road at once. A few minutes after he heard a police whistle, followed by the report of fire-arms. Inspector Chilver and the foreign and Indian sergeants and constables were called and sent out armed. Police-constable Austin, who was first out, found Police-constable (72) Morrow lying on the ground in the Cunningham Road, apparently shot dead. The ambulance was sent for, and the police-constable removed to hospital, where he was examined by Dr. Marshall, who pronounced life to be extinct. The roads and vacant ground in that part were searched, but no traces could be found of the robbers. Twelve empty cartridge cases were found at the junction of Elgin and Cunningham Roads.\n\nPolice-constable 286 reports that at 2 A.M. he noticed a number of men coming along the Cunningham Road from the direction of the railway, and before he could give an alarm he was seized from behind and thrown on the ground, and threatened that if he made a noise he would be shot. There was a hole dug at the side of the road, presumably for replacing a gas lamp, into which they put the constable, and placed a shutter over him. One of the robbers stood over the top. The gang then broke into shop No. 162-163, Elgin Road, and robbed it of a large quantity of money and clothing, value at present unknown, and ran away into the country.\n\nOn being informed at 2 A.M. of what had taken place, I proceeded at once to the West Hongkew Station, and after examining the shop-people and searching the neighbourhood for traces, I dispatched three different parties in pursuit of the gang. Traces have been found in certain spots, but owing to the heavy rain which fell at 4 A.M. there will be considerable difficulty in following these up. This matter being one of great urgency and importance, I have acted without consulting the native authorities, and have instructed the various parties to arrest on suspicion, and in the event of resistance to use their arms without hesitation. In this connection I have to point out the very serious danger, with small means of coping with it, to which the police in certain of the outlying districts are exposed at night. Armed only with a truncheon, and a whistle to summon assistance, they have to deal with organized gangs of desperate ruffians in possession of fire-arms. I propose, with the approval of the Watch Committee, to arm with carbines or revolvers and ball ammunition all the foreign and a select number of Indian police on second night duty (11 P.M. to 6 A.M.) in the Bubbling Well, West Hongkew, Hongkew, Wayside, and Yangtsepoo districts.\n\nAn inquest was held at the mortuary, Fearon Road, at 11 P.M. to-day by His Majesty's Coroner, and adjourned till 10 A.M. to-morrow.\n\n(Signed) **K.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received April 20.)**\n\n(No. 116.) Sir,  \nPeking, March 5, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit to you copies of two despatches from His Majesty's Acting Consul at Newchwang and His Majesty's Consul-General at Mukden which have an instructive interest as showing the methods by which the Japanese are turning to account the advantages they acquired in Manchuria under the plea of military necessity during the late war.\n\nMr. Tebbitt reports that the large tract of land acquired in the vicinity of the port by the Military Administration has been transferred to the South Manchurian Railway Company, and Mr. Fulford's despatch gives the Regulations under which these Railway Settlements in Manchuria are to be administered. As Mr. Fulford points out, this procedure will relieve the Japanese Government of the necessity of coming to any arrangement with China on the point.\n\nThis appropriation of land at compulsory rates for military purposes is one of the features in the conduct of the late war which does least credit to Japan, and its retention afterwards for civil purposes seems hardly defensible. But it has enabled her to settle on easy terms large numbers of her surplus population in both Corea and Manchuria, and these oversea Settlements, being in close touch with the motherland, are a powerful factor in consolidating Japanese influence on the continent. In China and Corea, Japan has everywhere shown a tendency to have separate Settlements for her people, and has seldom evinced any desire to co-operate with other nationalities in the matter of residence. Each of these Settlements on the railways in Corea soon becomes a small Japanese Colony, and the same policy is apparently being pursued in Manchuria. People living in such conditions and in such close proximity to their home markets have a great advantage over Western competitors, and must eventually monopolize a large share in the trade of Manchuria. The foreign residents in Manchuria number a few hundred, whereas there are now 34,452 Japanese settled in the country.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**J. N. JORDAN**.\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\n#### Acting Consul Tebbitt to Sir J. Jordan.\n\n(No. 8.) Sir,  \nNewchwang, February 19, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you that at a recent interview with Mr. Segawa, the Japanese Consul, I endeavoured to elicit some information as to the exact status of the so-called Japanese Concession.\n\nMr. Segawa, in reply, informed me that the place was not a Concession. The land purchased in that neighbourhood by the Military Administration (it is said at a compulsory price of 130 dollars, war notes, per mou) was, on the cessation of the military occupation of Newchwang, transferred to the South Manchurian Railway Company. It is therefore merely an extension of the Company's existing property. As such the land will be under the jurisdiction of the Company as soon as the Military Administration hands over the railway (presumably about the 1st April). In the meantime the land is controlled from Dalny, the headquarters of the Military Administration, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Consul. Mr. Segawa seemed to resent this arrangement, especially as he has no control over the Japanese settlers, to whom this newly acquired land has been leased on easy terms. There are about 700 Japanese there, and from 2,000 to 3,000 in Yingkow. Houses are being built, and a Municipal Council of ten members has been created, subject to the veto of the Governor-General of Kwantung.\n\n[2450 u-1]",

Drs. Atkinson and Barnett and Messrs Hewett and Ongte were seated on the platform with His Excellency.\n\nDr. Atkinson explained the objects of the Sanitary Institute, and described the growth of this institution from its inauguration till the present time.

(Applause).\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, after presenting the successful candidates with their certificates, said:--I look upon this ceremony, which I have been invited here this afternoon to perform, as one of the most important since I have been in Hongkong. The future prosperity of this colony depends largely on the extent to which we are able to eradicate diseases which disorganise labour and put obstacles in the way of our intercourse with other countries. The speaker then described the picture of the plague ten years bygone drawn by Sir William Robinson, the then Governor, and said there was no more melancholy sight than that presented by the City of Victoria at that time. Each succeeding year has added to the plague death roll, and has also seen some change in our procedure for the prevention of plague. That is, by sanitation of the town. The sanitary worker, in striving to obtain physical purity in any place, must make himself conversant with physical impurities and work in impure conditions. In so doing he establishes a strong claim on the respect and gratitude of the community in which he works. I take pleasure in being here tonight to give the certificates to those who have gained them from the Royal Sanitary Institute which, as Dr. Atkinson said, has recently been put under the patronage of our King (applause). Before sitting down I would like to remind gentlemen present that the establishment of the Hongkong branch of the Sanitary Institute was largely due to the suggestion of our present acting Sanitary Surveyor, Mr. Carter, a man who, both from European and Chinese testimony, is serious and earnest in what he does. (Applause). I should like also to express the hope that Sanitary Inspectors will emulate him. Mr. Hewett proposed a vote of thanks to His Excellency for presiding, which was carried and responded to.\n\nThe following is a list of the candidates who were awarded certificates:-\n\n| Certificate Category | Candidates |\n| --- | --- |\n| For Practical Sanitary Science | Patrick A. Cunningham, Robert Edwin Hemmings, John Lémm, and Arthur P. Samy |\n| For Inspectors of Nuisances | R. Bennett, G. W. Coysh, H. J. Gidley, S. Gidley, J. T. Longstaff, G. Morphew, J. Reiddio, and W.

This attitude on the part of Sir C. C. Smith was further shown by his calling upon the Chinese delegate, Mr. Tang Kuo-an, to state whether the position assumed by him on this question was in conformity with the instructions of his Government, a challenge which it is inconceivable that he would have addressed to a German or French delegate, and which therefore ignored the cardinal principle of international law that all nations, however weak as regards armed force, and however recently admitted to the society of nations, have an equal title to consideration. It must be remembered, too, that the object of this unworthy challenge was the distinguished Chinese diplomatist whose noble plea for his country's release from opium was heartily commended by the Bishops of London, Durham, Norwich, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Southwark, and many representatives of the Christian churches and missionary societies of Great Britain.\n\n4. Finally, the board objects to the appointment because Sir C. C. Smith presented a report on the proceedings of the Commission purporting to be made on behalf of his fellow-delegates, but as to which they were not in fact consulted. This fact appeared to so great an authority on constitutional procedure as the late Right Honourable J. E. Ellis, a grave infraction of official duty, to which he was seriously disposed to call the attention of the House of Commons. The Board cannot but express its regret that His Majesty's Government should take so different a view of this irregularity, which had been brought to the notice of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs by Mr. Ellis, and on two occasions by Sir R. Laidlaw.\n\n5. For these reasons the Board feels constrained earnestly to deprecate the appointment of Sir C. C. Smith.\n\n(\n\n£\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nOPIUM.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[47773]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nForeign Office to Home Office.\n\nCO434\n\nJAN 12\n\n[November 28,]\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n344\n\nSir,\n\nForeign Office, November 28, 1911. AS you are doubtless aware, His Majesty's Government, in replying to the invitation of the United States Government to attend a conference on the opium question, laid it down as a condition of their participation that the conference should thoroughly and completely deal with the question of restricting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of morphia and cocaine.\n\nThe British delegates are being instructed that this is a subject to which His Majesty's Government attach especial importance, in view of the spread of the morphia and cocaine habit in India, in China, and in other Eastern countries, and that as Indian and Chinese experience shows that legislation against the importation of morphia and cocaine cannot be made thoroughly effective owing to the ease with which it can be evaded in practice, it becomes desirable to secure co-operation on the part of the Governments concerned in the shape of control over the manufacture and distribution. They will therefore use their best efforts to obtain the assistance of the Governments represented at the conference to this end.\n\nThe British delegates, with a view to being in a position to lay before the conference some practical suggestions as to the method in which the desired control upon the trade in morphia and cocaine might be obtained, held a meeting at this Office with representatives of the Board of Trade and the Board of Customs and Excise, and the result of their deliberations is embodied in the enclosed minute containing suggestions for the guidance of the delegates on this question.\n\nDuring the discussion it became apparent that there were points on which the delegates would require information and advice from the Home Office, and I am therefore directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to request that you will lay these suggestions before the Secretary of State for the Home Department and favour him with any remarks that Mr. McKenna may wish to offer thereon and any information that he thinks might prove of assistance to the British delegates.\n\nI am especially to enquire whether the sale of morphia and cocaine to unauthorised persons is not already subject to restrictions, in accordance with suggestion 3.\n\nAs the Opium Conference opens at The Hague on the 1st December, Sir Edward Grey would be pleased to receive an early reply.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nF. A. CAMPBELL.\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nSUGGESTIONS adopted at a meeting held at the Foreign Office on November 27, 1911, as to the attitude to be adopted by the British delegates to the Opium Conference in regard to the regulation of the manufacture of and trade in morphia and cocaine.\n\nAT this meeting were present:-\n\nSir Cecil Clementi Smith\n\nSir William Meyer\n\nMr. W.

J. STANLEY.\n\nCustom-house, London, December 20, 1911.\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 20th (sic) instant, I am directed by the Board of Customs and Excise to acquaint you that they have no power under the existing law to prevent the importation or exportation of opium. If, however, the Government decide to adhere to the proposal made at The Hague Opium Conference that the importation and exportation of prepared opium should be prohibited, and if suitable legislation in this sense were passed, my Board would do their best to make the prohibition effective so far as the customs machinery could be adapted for the purpose.\n\nI am to remind you, however, that duty-free goods are not examined by the customs on exportation.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nE. C. CUNNINGHAM.\n\nwould be required before legislation were introduced with the object of conferring such power upon them. But as the delegates were leaving London almost immediately for The Hague there was no time to consult their lordships at this stage.\n\nThe Board have now received from the Board of Trade a letter (Enclosure No. 1) from which it appears that a proposal has been submitted to the conference \"that the participating Governments bind themselves to prohibit the importation and exportation of prepared opium.” A copy of the Board's reply is also attached (Enclosure No. 2). Here again, owing to the urgency of the matter, and the very limited time afforded to my Board for its consideration, there was no time to consult the Treasury.\n\nThe object of this letter is to inform their Lordships how the matter at present stands in relation to the Customs and Excise Department. Their Lordships have on several occasions expressed their reluctance to impose upon the department additional duties of a non-revenue character. If, however, the Government should decide to give its adhesion to a convention embodying stipulations which necessitate customs co-operation in preventing or restricting the importation of morphia, cocaine, or opium, my Board have no doubt but that machinery could be set up which would ensure the fulfilment of these stipulations as effectively as is reasonably possible with articles which lend themselves so readily to importation and exportation without being brought under the cognisance of the customs authorities. The requisite customs control over exports of these drugs could be secured by an extension of the Board's powers of requiring \"due entry and clearance before shipment\" under Section 139 of the Customs Consolidation Act, 1876.\n\nI am,\n\nJ. P. BYRNE.\n\nSir,\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nCustoms to Treasury.\n\nCustom-house, London, January 6, 1912.\n\nI am directed by the Board of Customs and Excise to acquaint you that by their instructions Mr. Cunningham attended on the 27th ultimo a meeting of the British delegates to The Hague Opium Conference, in order to give them some information as to the extent to which the Customs and Excise Department could co-operate in giving effect to certain proposals that were likely to be laid before the conference.\n\nIt appeared that, having regard to the conditions on which the Government had agreed to join the conference, the British delegates were practically pledged to submit to the conference an outline of a scheme for \"restricting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of morphia and cocaine,\" the ulterior object being to prevent the smuggling of these drugs into India and other eastern countries. The scheme provisionally drawn up for this purpose was briefly as follows:\n\n1. All manufacturers of, and dealers in, morphia and cocaine shall be required to take out a licence. Persons manufacturing or dealing in the above articles without a licence shall be liable to penalty.\n\n2. All such manufacturers and dealers shall be required to keep a record of all transactions in such drugs, including the names and addresses of all persons from whom they obtain or to whom they sell them, and the quantity involved in each transaction.\n\n3. It is advisable to prohibit the sale of these drugs except to persons authorised to purchase the same by licence or otherwise.\n\n4. The customs shall be empowered to detain imported consignments, except in transit, of the above drugs until satisfied that the consignee is a licensed manufacturer or dealer, or a person duly authorised to receive the drugs.\n\n5. Exportation to foreign countries, whether adhering to the convention or not, and to other portions of the British Empire, to be permitted only upon production to the customs authorities of a certificate from the country of destination that the consignee is authorised to import the drugs either in accordance with the stipulations of the convention or with local laws or regulations which in the opinion of the competent Government department are equally stringent.\n\nIn this scheme the co-operation of the Customs and Excise Department would only be required in connection with paragraphs 4 and 5, i.e., in detaining consignments of imported or exported morphia or cocaine unless certain conditions are fulfilled.\n\nIt was explained to the delegates that my Board have no power under the existing law to take the action suggested, and that the preliminary sanction of the Treasury",

I wrote to the Colonial Office asking if they would give this matter their attention; their reply is \"The Question at issue is one which will engage the serious attention of H.K. Government at the proper time and it is obviously impossible to make any statement of policy at present on the subject\".\n\nThis seems to me a very unsatisfactory answer but it is only on a par with the attitude taken up by the Government on all these matters and it looks as if they were going to leave everything severely alone in the hopes that they will slip back after the war into the old pre-war state and that we shall have Germans and German trading carried on in the same way as before the war. Do you think this is a matter which",

Eliot to the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston.-(Received August 23.)**\n\n(No. 378.)\n\nHIS Majesty's representative at Tokyo presents his compliments to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and has the honour to transmit herewith a copy of despatch No. 54 from His Majesty's acting consul at Dairen respecting the Fushun collieries.\n\nTokyo, July 19, 1921.\n\n### Enclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n**Acting Consul Cunningham to Sir C. Eliot.**\n\nDairen, July 11, 1921.\n\n(No. 54.) Sir,\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith four copies of a report on the Fushun collieries drawn up by myself and based on information obtained as a result of my visit to the mines at the beginning of May last.\n\nI am sending a copy of this report direct to His Majesty's consul-general at Mukden and to the commercial counsellor to His Majesty's Legation at Peking (at Shanghai).\n\nW. B. CUNNINGHAM.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n### Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n#### Report on the Fushun Collieries\n\n##### Location\n\nTHE Fushun collieries, operated by the South Manchuria Railway Company, are situated at a distance of about 20 miles from Mukden and lie almost due east of that city. They are connected with the main line of the railway by a single-line branch from Suchiatun (8 miles from Mukden and 236 miles from Dairen). The line follows the course of the Hun-ho, the large river crossed just before Mukden is entered from the south, and the coalfield lies close to the left bank of this river and at the foot of a low range of hills about 500 feet in height. The height above the average level of water in Dairen Bay is 260 feet.\n\n##### Area of Concession\n\nThe Fushun concession, which is bounded on the north by the Hun River, is, roughly speaking, 10 miles in length from east to west, while the width varies from 2 to 2 miles. The total area is approximately 23.4 square miles.\n\n##### History\n\nThe existence of coal in the Fushun district has been known for many centuries, as there is evidence that coal was mined six hundred years ago by the Koreans, specimens of Korean pottery of that date having been found in the course of recent operations. When the Chinese obtained possession of the country, however, the mines do not appear to have been worked, and it was only about twenty years ago that the Chinese commenced mining operations on a small and simple scale. The mines were later acquired by Russia, and their development was being taken in hand at the time of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war, after which they passed into the hands of the Japanese. In April 1907 the South Manchuria Railway Company were entrusted with the work of operating and developing the mines, and since that time extraordinary progress has been made with the result that the collieries now rank among the largest and most up-to-date in the world.\n\n##### Geology\n\nThe coal seams, of which there are two principal ones, belong to the tertiary period and rest upon granite gneiss. The upper seam is at present the only one which... \n\n[6735 z-4]\n\n## Page 379",

Alston.\n\n**(No. 36.) Sir,**\n\nMukden, June 8, 1921.\n\nI HAVE the honour to enclose a copy of a report on the situation in the Chientao and Hunchun districts addressed to me by Mr. W. B. Cunningham, who returned from the tour which he was instructed to make in those localities on the evening of the 6th instant. Owing to the state of the roads between Hunchun and Ninguta, Mr. Cunningham was unable to make the return journey, as I had suggested to him that route, but came back as he went, viâ Korea. He is preparing a separate report on his itinerary, which he proposes to forward to me from Dairen, to which place he returned last night.\n\nMr. Cunningham found both the Chientao and Hunchun districts in a peaceful condition. The Japanese troops had been completely withdrawn and their place taken by some 350 police, who had been scattered over the two localities, and ten Japanese army officers who were apparently acting as liaison officers at the open marts.\n\nWith regard to the particular points on which Mr. Cunningham was instructed to report, he has arrived at the following conclusions:\n\n| Point | Conclusion |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. Lives and property of British missionaries | The lives and property of the British missionaries in Chientao are in no danger, and therefore no special measures are necessary for their protection. The friction between them and the local Japanese officials was largely due to mutual misunderstanding, the rough and ready ways of the Canadians evidently offending the susceptibilities of the Japanese, while the friendly advances of the latter were obviously mistrusted and regarded as insincere by the missionaries. |\n| 2. Korean Christians | The Korean Christians are undoubtedly suspect as such to the Japanese authorities, and there were instances during the outrages of October last in which Christians were deliberately singled out for persecution. On the other hand, it would seem that the Japanese are not actuated by anti-Christian sentiments so much as by the conviction that the native Christians as a body are supporters of the independence movement. For this belief there is this much justification, that, owing to the superior education and wider outlook of many of them, native Christians as a rule show a greater interest in politics and are more patriotic than the average Korean, though a comparatively small proportion of them are active partisans in the independence movement. |\n| 3. Interference with missionaries' work | At the present time there is no direct interference on the part of the Japanese with the work carried on by the missionaries, but the native Christians have been so terrorised by the events of last October and by the petty persecution to which they are apparently still being subjected by the Japanese police that they are keeping aloof from the mission. The new sect founded by the Japanese in Opposition to Christianity had lost favour with the Koreans now that there was no longer the incentive of fear to join it. |\n\nThe charges made by Major Mizumachi against the missionaries are absolutely without foundation.\n\n[6014 ce-6]  \nPage 395",

        "content_text": "## Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n### Report on the Chientao District\n\n5. Though the withdrawal of the Japanese troops was complete, everything pointed to the fact that, if a favourable opportunity again presented itself, Japan would not hesitate to avail herself of it to add both the Chientao and Hunchun districts to her possessions.\n\nI find myself in complete agreement with the views expressed by Mr. Cunningham on all the above points. It would seem from his report that the Chientao district possesses great agricultural and mineral possibilities; it is rumoured that oil has been discovered somewhere in the locality, while Hunchun is of considerable strategic importance to Japan owing to its situation immediately behind Vladivostok. The desire, therefore, of Japan to annex these two localities is a very natural one on her part, and one which in time she will no doubt realise. A pretext for a second expedition could be easily obtained by stirring up the hunghutzus in the neighbourhood to renewed activity; or Japan may at any time make a dispute with the Chinese Government an excuse for occupying the locality until her demands are acceded to. Though it might in many ways be to the benefit of the locality to have it pass into Japanese hands, since its resources would then be developed, of which there is little hope under the present régime, the danger in such an eventuality would be that the possession of Chientao and Hunchun would in all probability merely whet the appetite of Japan for further conquests in Manchuria.\n\nWith regard to the hunghutzus in Chientao and its neighbourhood, my information is that they are not, as Mr. Cunningham asserts, peaceful agriculturists when the harvests are good and brigands only in bad times. In the districts of Fengtien and Kirin infested by them, there are no bad seasons. Most of these hunghutzus are ex-soldiers and ex-criminals, and the only agricultural work any of them do is grow opium, though the majority are content in bad times to make a living by blackmailing other opium growers.\n\nMr. Cunningham appears to me to have accomplished his mission most successfully, and I have every hope that the result of it will be to improve the relations between the missionaries and the Japanese. Owing to the incurably suspicious trend of the Japanese mind, I have no hope that the Japanese themselves will ever be convinced that their charges against the missionaries were unfounded, but the fact that we have enquired into these charges officially and regard them as absolutely without justification should prevent the recurrence in the future of such unpleasant incidents as the publication of the Mizumachi letter.\n\nI may mention, in conclusion, that Mr. Cunningham was very favourably impressed with the work which the missionaries were doing in Chientao, and especially with that of Dr. Martin. Their withdrawal from the district would be a calamity for its Korean inhabitants.\n\nI have, &c.\nF. E. WILKINSON.\n\n### The Country Along the Tumen River\n\nThe country along the Tumen river consists of fairly high rolling hills separated from each other by wide valleys. Towards the west and north, it is more mountainous and the valleys are narrower and more closely shut in by the hills. It is said that only thirty years ago, the whole country consisted of virgin forests, though now the first thing that strikes one on entering the district is the entire absence of trees of any kind. It is only when one reaches the high hills that any traces of the original forests remain, and even here, the process of deforestation seems to be rapidly proceeding as a result of the ruthless destruction of trees by the natives with a view to the provision of fuel for the severe winter. The soil, on the other hand, is exceptionally fertile, being almost black in colour and of a rich loamy character, and produces during the short summer excellent crops of beans of all kinds, wheat, kaoliang, millet, &c., while in many of the valleys, considerable quantities of rice are grown. The inhabitants show remarkable energy and industry in the cultivation of the land, and in many places, the hillsides are utilised almost to the top and in spots where one would think it would be impossible to use a plough.\n\n### Principal Towns and Population\n\nThe principal towns in the Chientao district are Yenchi (the capital), Lungchingtsun, Towtaokou, Paitsaokou, and Hunchun, all of which are marts open to international trade. The estimated population of the four districts of Holung, Yenchi, Wanghsing, and Hunchun is about 350,000, some 300,000 of whom are Koreans, who in increasing numbers have migrated from Korea during the last twenty years or so in search of a livelihood. The remainder are, of course, Chinese. The Koreans are much more numerous in the three western districts than in Hunchun, where the majority of the inhabitants are Chinese. They are also more numerous in the districts bordering Korea, and the further one goes from the Tumen, the fewer Koreans one sees, though even as far north as Hamatang, about 15 miles to the north of Paitsaokou, there are many Korean villages chiefly hidden away among the hills. The total number of Japanese in the district is about 1,200.\n\n| Year | Koreans | Chinese | Total |\n|------|---------|---------|-------|\n| 1917 | 185,279 | 41,826  | 227,105 |\n| 1918 | 202,385 | 43,639  | 246,024 |\n| 1919 | 227,382 | 42,916  | 270,298 |\n| 1920 | 245,964 | 43,866  | 289,830 |\n\nIt will be seen that while the number of Chinese inhabitants has remained almost stationary, the number of Koreans has considerably increased. Fewer Koreans appear to be entering the country at present, however, and one or two of the missionaries expressed the opinion that latterly those leaving the district were more numerous than the new arrivals.\n\n| Town | Japanese | Korean |\n|------|----------|--------|\n| Lungchingtsun | 676      | 4,411  |\n| Yenchi        | 162      | 632    |\n| Towtaokou     | 95       | 1,605  |\n| Paitsaokou    | 8        | 160    |\n| Hunchun       | 26       | 1,400  |\n\nLungchingtsun contains in addition about 2,500 Chinese, Yenchi about 5,000, and Paitsaokou and Hunchun about the same number.\n\nThere are also about 100 Japanese residents at Tienposhan, where are situated some copper mines worked by a Sino-Japanese company. Tienposhan is about 30 miles west of Yenchi and is eventually to be connected with Kami Sampo by rail.\n\n### Communications\n\nThese are as yet in anything but an advanced state. Roads, such as they are, do exist, but they are mere tracks across country or up the valleys, and in bad weather are atrocious, being little short of quagmires in many places. During summer, there is therefore comparatively little traffic, but during the winter, when the ground freezes to a depth of 5 feet or 6 feet, the roads are good, while the larger rivers are also freely used for the transportation of goods. I saw no bridges except one at Yenchi, and the rivers must be forded or crossed by ferry, though in summer many of them are impassable in wet weather.\n\nPage 396",

Mr. Tao has only recently been sent back to Yenchi, where he was previously stationed for some years, and is evidently considered a good man for the post by the Chinese authorities.

IN continuation of my despatch No. 36 of the 8th instant, transmitting to you Mr. Cunningham's report on the situation in Chientao. I have now the honour to enclose a supplementary report which he has prepared giving an account of his experiences on his journey to Chientao and back.\n\nSir,\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c. \n\nF. E. WILKINSON.\n\n**Mr. Cunningham to Consul-General Wilkinson.**\n\nMukden, June 7, 1921. WITH reference to my despatch of to-day's date reporting on conditions in the Chientao district. I have the honour to append hereto a brief description of my journey from the date of my departure from Mukden on the 12th May last.\n\nI was not in any way inconvenienced in my journey through Korea, and I did not require to make use of the letter of introduction to Japanese officials, which it was agreed I should endeavour to obtain from the authorities in Seoul. The letter was very willingly given to me upon my personal application to Mr. Matsunaga, chief of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Government-General of Korea.\n\nFrom Kami Sampo the railway line runs for about a mile further to the spot where the ferry crosses the Tumen, and this section of the line was, I understand, put in by the Japanese military authorities during their operations last year, as was also a bridge with a line of rails across the river, though its construction was not authorised by the Chinese authorities.\n\nI arrived at Kami Sampo on the evening of the 18th and left the following day for Lungchingtsun, a distance of about 21 miles by cart. On my arrival I called first upon Mr. P. B. Joly, the assistant in charge of the Chinese maritime customs here, who very kindly offered me hospitality during my stay.\n\nI spent two days at Lungchingtsun, calling on the magistrate of the town, Mr. Kao, and upon the Japanese consul-general, both of whom returned my call. Mr. Kao entertained me to dinner on the evening of the 21st, several other Chinese officials and the Japanese consul-general and one of his vice-consuls also being present. Mr. Sakai also gave a luncheon party in my honour during my stay, Mr. Joly and Dr. Martin and the Rev. A. H. Barker, of the Canadian Presbyterian Mission, also being invited. An account of my conversations with Mr. Sakai is given in my other report.\n\nOn the 22nd May I left Lungchingtsun for Yenchi, the principal town of the district, a distance of about 12 miles, spending a day and a-half there. I duly called on the Taoyin of the district, who is in charge of the whole area, and was most cordially received by him. I was, however, unable to see the general in command of the troops in the district, as he was away in Kirin.\n\nWhile at Yenchi I received a visit from Colonel Harada and Lieutenant Motoike, two of the liaison officers stationed in the Chientao area. The former explained that he had received instructions from Seoul to call on me, but though he seemed anxious to find out what my business in Chientao was, our conversation was throughout of the most informal kind, and I did not discuss the situation with him in any way. Later I returned the two officers' call at the small Chinese house they occupy in the town.\n\nUp to this time I had intended to proceed from Yenchi direct to Hunchun and return from there via Ninguta, in accordance with your suggestion. I was strongly advised, however, by M. Nadarof, the ex-Russian consul at Yenchi, who seems to be well acquainted with the district and has himself made the journey, not to attempt it at this time of year, as, though it was reported to be safe, the roads were very liable to be bad. I therefore decided to visit Paitsaokou (the most northerly of the open marts in the Chientao district) on my way to Hunchun and to be guided by circumstances as to my return route upon arrival at the latter place.\n\nI left Seoul on the morning of the 14th May (having spent the previous day in completing preparations for my journey), and arrived at Gensan the same evening in time to catch a small coasting steamer for Seishin, from which port there is rail connection with Kwainei (Kor., Hoiryong; Chin., Huining). Seishin is about 200 miles, and by direct boat the journey can be accomplished in a day, but the smaller vessels, by one of which I had to travel as there was no direct boat for two or three days, call at numerous small places on the coast and occupy about three days. I landed on the morning of the 17th at the small port of Tokchin, the last place of call before Seishin, being advised to do so as, owing to foggy weather, it was very uncertain whether the vessel would reach Seishin that day. From Tokchin there is a line of light rails to Kyojo, the present terminus of the line from Kwainei, which will ultimately connect with the east coast line from Seoul now in operation as far as Kanko (Hambeung). The line from Kyojo passes through Ranan and joins the Seishin to Kwainei line at Yujo. Ranan is the headquarters of the Japanese army in the north-eastern part of Korea and the seat of a division.\n\nThe line from Seishin to Kwainei is 58 miles in length, and was constructed some three or four years ago at considerable expense (10,000,000 yen, I am told): a high range of hills has to be crossed and there are a number of tunnels. The value of the line is, of course, mainly strategic, though considerable quantities of grain and lumber are transported over it to Seishin, whence they are exported to Japan.\n\nFrom Kwainei there is a light railway (24 feet gauge) to a small and entirely new place on the Korean side of the Tumen, known as Kami Sampo (Chin. Shangshanfeng), a distance of about 25 miles, which occupies rather more than three hours by train. It is possible to enter the Chientao district by direct road from Kwainei to Lungchingtsun, and this was the route principally used previously.\n\nI left Yenchi on the 24th May for Paitsaokou, which is a long day's journey of nearly 40 miles. The Taoyin at Yenchi had kindly furnished me with a letter of introduction to the magistrate of the Wanghsing district, who resides at Paitsaokou, and I was most cordially received and provided with a room in the yamen. I was also furnished with an armed guard of two men to accompany me on my journey.\n\nI stayed only one night at Paitsaokou, as I had been able to see the magistrate on my arrival, and there seemed little object in remaining there for a day. I accordingly left on the 25th for Hunchun, the journey of about 70 miles occupying three days owing to the difficult nature of the country traversed, several high hills having to be crossed. I was again provided with an escort and arrived at Hunchun on the evening of the 27th, being hospitably entertained while there by Mr. U. Marconi, acting commissioner of customs, to whom you had furnished me with a letter of introduction.\n\nAt Hunchun both the magistrate of the district and the officer in command of the troops came to call on me before I had been half an hour in the place, while the \n\n[6614 ee-6]",

The dinner was served in foreign style, this being the first time, I understand, that this had been done at any dinner by Chinese officials in Hunchun.\n\nAt Hunchun I was again recommended not to attempt the journey to Ninguta at this time of year, and as from what I had learned during my trip it did not seem that any especially useful purpose would be served by attempting it, I had finally decided to return the way I had come, i.e., viâ Kami Sampo.\n\n\"There are,\" however, several other possible routes from Hunchun, from which place one can travel either to the small port of Yuki on the Korean coast (a distance of about 45 miles, which can be accomplished in a day and a-half) or to Novo Kievsk and Possiet Bay, whence there is boat connection with Vladivostok.\n\nThe boat service from Yuki, however, is most irregular, and it did not seem desirable to attempt the Vladivostok route owing to the unsettled state of affairs there, so that it seemed best to choose the Kami Sampo route. I accordingly left Hunchun on the morning of the 30th, proceeding that day as far as Keigen, a small town about 5 miles from the Tumen on the Korean side. From Keigen it is a day's journey (about 30 miles) to Kami Sampo, which I reached on my return trip on the evening of the 31st.\n\nThe journey from Kami Sampo to Seishin occupied the whole of the following day, and there being no boat for Gensan on the 2nd, I was obliged to stay in Seishin for a day. I left, however, on the morning of the 3rd, and arrived in Seoul on the evening of the 4th. At Seoul I stayed one day, arriving at Mukden, as you are aware, on the evening of the 6th, having completed the journey in rather less than four weeks.\n\nI venture to suggest that should occasion arise in future to send an officer to the Chientao district, it would in many ways be better for him to visit Hunchun first. From here there is a direct road to Yenchi, from which place it is easy to visit different points in the district proper, and from whence there is a choice of a variety of routes for the journey, e.g., viâ Ninguta or Kirin. The former journey would probably occupy at least a week, while a further day would be required for the trip from Ninguta to the railway. The latter would probably take ten days or a fortnight.\n\nI may add that while at Hunchun I also received a visit from the two liaison officers stationed at the place, Captains Komiyama and Ota. The former, who appeared to be the senior, was in mufti, while Captain Ota appeared in Chinese costume (but with military boots). Captain Komiyama asked me point-blank what my business in Chientao was, but I did not enlighten him beyond saying that I had been enquiring into the allegations made from time to time against the missionaries in the district. He was quite pleasant and affable, though Captain Ota, on the other hand, adopted a somewhat surly attitude throughout their visit and hardly spoke a word. Later I returned the two officers' call.\n\nIt may also be worth while to mention the fact that both at Keigen and at Seishin, at which places I stayed during my return journey through Korea, I was visited at the inns at which I stopped by Japanese gendarmes. In fact, at Keigen two came to see me separately, one in uniform and the other in mufti. Both, on being asked what they wanted, replied that they had merely come to call upon me, but they were obviously anxious to find out, if possible, where I had come from and what my business was, though it is probable that they knew perfectly well that I had been in the Chientao district. I had, however, in both places given my name, &c., to the innkeeper on arrival, and the fact that these gendarmes came to call upon me seems to be an excellent instance of the suspicion with which all foreigners travelling in Korea seem to be regarded. At Gensan, too, I was immediately upon landing approached by an individual, obviously a Korean, in plain clothes, who coolly demanded my card. I asked him why I should give him one, and upon receiving the reply that he was connected with the police and obtaining from him a card stating this fact, I complied with his request. But it seems to me that by allowing subordinate officials to act in this way, the Japanese authorities in Korea are only asking for trouble, as it is almost impossible not to resent being pestered in this manner wherever one goes, while such incidents in the case of people unable to speak Japanese are liable to lead to unpleasant complications.\n\nMr. Kawanami, the Japanese vice-consul at Yenchi, happened to be travelling with me from Seishin on his way to Tokyo on business, and I took the opportunity of telling him privately that I thought the Japanese made a great mistake in countenancing this sort of thing. He explained that the authorities were just at present very much afraid of Bolsheviks, and that they had to keep a strict watch on foreigners arriving from the direction of Siberia, but I venture to think that this is not sufficient excuse for the annoying methods by which they seek to find out who people are and what their business is.\n\nAt Antung, both on passing through on my way to Seoul and on my return, I was asked by gendarmes in plain clothes to present my card, while on the Korean side the police on the train as usual asked to see my passport. The Chinese boy, who accompanied me, also tells me that at Seishin he was visited at midnight by three Japanese in plain clothes, who questioned him closely as to what I had been doing in Chientao, whether I had a camera with me, &c. The police also tried to make him open my baggage, which I had left in his charge on the boat upon arrival at Gensan, but he finally succeeded in obtaining permission to land with it upon explaining that it belonged to me and that I had the keys. He tells me, however, that the police felt him all over before allowing him to leave the boat.\n\nA rough sketch map of the Chientao district is appended to this report.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW. B.

It therefore becomes necessary to register, not only the remaining mui-tsai who elect to stay with their owners, but also the adopted daughters. This is the system elsewhere. To check \"baby farming,\" all civilised governments find it necessary to keep in touch with orphans who may be adopted. These are frequently visited by inspectors, and that is the only way to guard against ill-treatment. Hongkong must have the same machinery.\n\nIt is pleaded that registration would be to no purpose, since the effort would merely result in pushing the misrepresentation one stage further back. Slave-owners would declare that the children were natural daughters, and, birth registration being haphazard in Hongkong, the claim could not be disputed. This plea cannot, however, be allowed to prevail. The children are purchased at an intelligent age and could be relied upon to some extent to tell the truth about their parentage. Alternatively, something should be done for the moral effect. Registration could be enforced by the simple expedient of imposing heavy fines upon all who were found guilty of disobeying the law.\n\nAs is aptly pointed out, the law punishes murders, but the authorities do not, cannot, set out to prevent murder: they deter by the severity of the punishment. The same argument applies to the mui-tsai problem. The Government, having declared all mui-tsai free, should now proceed against all owners of mui-tsai. At the same time, it should declare that all adopted children must be registered forthwith, and, after a reasonable time, it should proceed against as many foster parents as it can discover having failed to register. Inspectors should be appointed, and cruelty should be punished severely, as now.\n\nThese ways, only one of the tributary evils will be left—sale into prostitution. This is less easy to cope with, because the girls are usually of an age and are usually coached to make the application for registration personally. Short of abolishing all the tolerated houses, it is difficult to suggest a remedy. Primarily, however, the local anti-slavery movement is for the protection of children.\n\nThe Anti Mui-Tsai Society is on the right track in its insistence upon the registration not only of girl slaves but of adopted daughters. We need not argue again the merits and demerits of the mui-tsai system. In its best form it is a benevolent system, but, human nature being what it is, such a system cannot retain its best form; instead it degenerates into an evil, with the grossest cruelty. The crimes committed in the name of guardianship have received some publicity, and the Government must be commended for its prosecutions of those guilty of ill-treating slave children, but there are cases which are discussed in whispers, cases in which mui-tsai have been killed, and no one has been arraigned.\n\nIt is, of course, impossible to obtain evidence of these cases. We are convinced, however, that they did occur, and a system which lends itself to such inhumanity cannot be permitted to continue. It is six years since the Mui-Tsai Ordinance was passed, declaring that thereafter no mui-tsai might legally be purchased. Since then the Government has repeated its declaration that mui-tsai are free.\n\nThere are, however, still mui-tsai held in bondage. The pre-having Ordinance mui-tsai must by now be well into their teens, and many, no doubt, have been sold into marriage and other markets. The influx of families from the interior has, however, continued, and many of these families have brought their slaves with them. There is thus still work for the Anti Mui-Tsai Society to do, despite the technical abolition of the system.\n\nThe time has arrived, however, when the Society should broaden its activities. The bad effects of the mui-tsai system may be grouped under three heads: (1) Cruelty, (2) Sale into marriage, which often merely means transfer to a new owner, and (3) Sale into prostitution. Unfortunately, however, the abolition of the mui-tsai system does not mean the elimination of these bad effects. Owners of mui-tsai now call them adopted daughters, and the evidence of slave purchase is carefully destroyed.\n\nIn the circumstances, the adolescents must for the time being look after themselves. If the reformers persevere, it should be possible in the not distant future to care for all minors. For the moment, we suggest that the Anti Mui-Tsai Society should now form itself into a Society for the Protection of Children. The Colony has no organisation of the sort, and badly needs one. Correspondents make several efforts to explain why the S. P. C. A. movement is not supported in Hongkong. Another reason is that, while we protect chickens and dogs, we neglect the children.\n\nA Society for the Protection of Children need not ignore mui-tsai; and since the evils of the mui-tsai system might as easily attach to any system of adoption, or even to natural children, the reproaches which cling to the Colony would be attacked at the right end.\n\n## TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1929\n\n### A Trivial Case\n\nExtract from the S. C. M. Post, of October 13, 1904:-\"The general manager of The South China Morning Post, Ltd, was summoned before Mr. Gompertz on Tuesday by Police Sergeant Adlington with placing six bales of paper on the footpath in front of the Company's offices. Cross-examined by the defendant, the sergeant was aware there were several feet of water in front of the premises, necessitating a six-foot plank from the kerb to the road. He did not see any building materials adjoining or in front of the offices. Mr. Cunningham stated that the bales were placed on the footpath by the Godown Company, were opened and the contents removed as speedily as possible. They could not be placed in the wet road. There was no obstruction to traffic except by persons using the Company's office and crossing the water by the plank. Half the front of the buildings, and the end of the footpath were blocked up by contractor's building materials. The case was a very trivial one and entailed a waste of valuable time. Mr. Gompertz announced that he had inspected the premises, and dismissed the summons.\"",

I have ascertained that there have been no developments. The Kwangsi authorities seem to have not considered it worth while, under the circumstances, to initiate negotiations with any British firms.\n\n2. I have so far no insight into the sources of Marshal Li Tsung-jen's inspiration (to appeal to us for special present facilities in the supply of armaments in return for military assistance to Hong Kong in time of future need - see my telegram No.77 of 24th September to Peking, repeated to Foreign Office as No.18). I do not even know whether his offer and appeal were made with or without the knowledge of the Central Government. But, it will be remembered that on 31st March 1936, Marshal Li spoke in somewhat the same sense to Admiral Sir Charles Little and Mr. Consul-General Phillips (see Canton despatch Secret No.50 of 4th April 1936 to Peking, copied to Foreign Office No.12). The Senior Naval Officer, West River, (Captain A.B. Cunninghame Graham, R.N.) also informed me that Marshal Li addressed him in a similar manner.\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nAnthony Eden, M.C., M.P.,  \netc., etc., etc.,  \nForeign Office,  \nS.W.1.",

It was true that a figure of 4,500 had been mentioned as the number of women and children to be evacuated, but it would almost certainly be found that a very large number of these would refuse to leave. The evacuation of men as well as women and children was out of the question. As regards the question of using warships for evacuation purposes, the only two cruisers in China Seas were being kept out of the way, and destroyers were entirely unsuitable for the purpose.\n\n**SIR ROBERT VANSITTART** raised the question of the evacuation of foreigners. He said that the Portuguese Ambassador had recently told him that there were some 4,000 Portuguese nationals in the Shanghai area, and that, without making any specific request that we should assist in their evacuation, he was obviously toying with the idea. All that he had in fact asked was that our Consul-General should be instructed to keep in close touch with the Portuguese Consul-General.",

On the 11th January Mr. Cunningham, Counsellor of this Embassy, called upon the Director of the East Asia Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to discuss this case with a view to its reconsideration by the Japanese authorities concerned. He pointed out to Mr. Kurihara that at the time of the detention of the vessel by the Japanese authorities there were on board all the papers which it was customary for British vessels to carry, that these were sufficient to establish the fact that she was a British ship, and that although enquiries could have been made quickly at Hongkong the vessel had been detained for nearly two weeks and had further suffered damage by being driven in a heavy sea. In addition to using these arguments, which together with other relevant considerations were set out in my Note to the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs No. 40 of the 9th September last (see my despatch No.54 of that date), Mr. Cunningham reminded Mr. Kurihara that in their Note No. 182 of the 4th October, 1937 (copy of which is enclosed herewith), the Japanese Government had agreed to our contention that it was for the British authorities to satisfy themselves of the validity of the transfer.\n\nHis Excellency\n\nSir Geoffrey Northcote, K.C.M.G.,\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief,\n\nVictoria, Hongkong.",

He said, however, that they were prepared to reconsider this case and he added that a committee to deal with the subject of all claims was being established at the Ministry and that it was hoped that this committee would commence its work very shortly. It was proposed that they should start by investigating simpler claims, in which category the case of the \"Asian\" seemed to fall, and he thought that this was a case which might be settled comparatively easily.\n\n4. In regard to Mr. Kurihara's statement that the Japanese Government had reserved the right to examine other documents besides the certificate of registry I have the honour to refer Your Excellency to my despatch to the Foreign Office, No.931 of the 22nd November last, copy of which was enclosed in my despatch No.88 of that date, in which I explained that no agreement had been reached with the Japanese authorities on this point, but that I did not consider any useful purpose would be served by taking the matter up further with them. I am still of this opinion; for, though it may be necessary further to refute the Japanese point of view at some future date, I do not consider it advisable to endeavour to do so now, more especially in view of the attitude adopted by Mr. Kurihara towards our suggestion that there was room for reconsideration in this particular case.

The news was received too late to take any effective action. I telephoned General Wu Te-chen, but he thought I feel with justification that he could not interfere at the eleventh hour. I was unable to find by telephone the Special Delegate for Foreign Affairs, or any military authority at such confidential numbers as I had collected against such an emergency - at this period hardly any responsible official slept at his proper residence through fear of air raids and, as I was unable to get into touch, no consent could be obtained either to a postponement of restrictions until (say) 9 a.m., or to permission for night navigation on that particular night. The military authorities claimed \"post facto\" that they had intended to grant this permission and had so informed Bocca Tigris Forts, but they gave no intimation to the Customs or anyone else concerned. It is uncertain whether the Shipping Companies would have ventured to move their ships, since at that time it was uncertain whether mines were in position. On September 18th a British engineer had informed Captain A.B. Cunninghame Graham, R.N., Senior Naval Officer, West River, that he had been approached by General Yu Han-mou to mine the Pearl River and what progress he had made was unknown.\n\nOn this phase of the Shipping blockade I reported in full in enclosure 2 in my Printed Letter despatch No.133 of October 4th (to Foreign Office No.57).\n\n8.

It will also be seen that navigation by vessels of draught over 7 feet were prohibited, but there was no mention of whether \"7 feet\" denoted (as was intended) \"7 feet at high water\" or \"7 feet at low water\", which means at least 12 feet at high water. There are no cargo or passenger ships with a draught as low as 7 feet, and few tugs or lighters. Consequently the regulations, if strictly interpreted, served no useful purpose to navigation. My aim therefore was to induce General Yu Han-mou to permit tacitly (and therefore without \"loss of face\") an interpretation of \"7 feet at low water\", and thus allow direct navigation by all Hong Kong Canton river steamers, the deepest of which draws 11' 3\" fully loaded. At this stage, Captain Cunninghame Graham's expert knowledge and assistance was invaluable to me and I could have done nothing without his help. On Saturday October 23rd he and I had a long private conversation with General Wu Te-chen, when I put before him the above considerations, and Captain Cunninghame Graham convinced him that there was no danger that any Japanese destroyer could enter the river at a lower draught than 14 feet. General Wu promised that he would explain the position to the Pacification Commissioner. He informed me that he did so on Monday, October 25th, and gradually the entire fleet of regular Canton-Hong Kong river steamers renewed their normal schedule, as if the regulations of October 20th read 7 feet at low water.\n\n11.\n\nApparently however General Yü Han-mou was only partially convinced, and had partly taken umbrage (and partly become frightened) at ill-advised paragraphs in the British press at Hong Kong, and at the size of the ships coming to Canton; although in the latter connexion I had carefully instructed British shipping companies that none should load above 11 feet, and in the former connexion had advised strongly",

        "content_text": "162\n\nI strongly advocated for a gradual resumption of navigation with careful avoidance of all publicity. On November 1st, I learnt accidentally from Admiral Feng (to whom I had sent a member of my staff to enquire what hope there was of allowing entrance to vessels up to 13 feet, so as to permit coasting vessels at half load to enter and clear) that General Yu Han-mou intended to issue revised regulations immediately limiting the draught of vessels to \"7 feet at high water\". Captain Cunninghame Graham was at Hong Kong, but I arranged to take the Senior Naval Officer then at Canton (Lieutenant-Commander V.P. McCarthy, R.N.) to see General Yu Han-mou the same evening, when I repeated to him the conversation and arguments made to General Wu Te-chen which I mentioned in the last paragraph.\n\nI told him, as I had told General Wu, that while I was working in the British interests, the Hong Kong-Canton trade and navigation, within limits consistent with the paramount importance of the safety of Canton, were of the utmost importance to China. As a small instance, the Commissioner of Customs had told me that, at a conservative estimate, it made a gain to China's revenue of half a million dollars a month. I pointed out the considerations which gave me a personal interest in the inviolability of the barrier (see paragraph 1 above). I reiterated that any advice I gave him about draughts was derived from Jane's Fighting Ships, and the opinions expressed were given in the same good faith as I would give them to my own Government. General Yu Han-mou's attitude, which was at first frankly hostile and which I have described at the end of paragraph 3 above, gradually improved and concluded with a promise that no new regulations would be issued, at any rate at present, and that meanwhile he would consider what further modifications of existing regulations (Enclosure 1) were possible...

I prefaced my request with the wish that any views expressed should be as given to His Majesty's Government and therefore as favourable to defence and unfavourable to the foreign (i.e. British) interests as possible. Opinion was unanimous that, apart from the fact that no first-class naval authorities would risk ships in such an enterprise, bombardment from Whampoa could result only as described in paragraph 1 above; while no prudent man would attempt to navigate a destroyer in narrow, difficult waters or, I understood, even in good waters, with a depth less than twice his ship's \"standard displacement\" (which are the figures given in \"Jane's Fighting Ships\"). In order to obtain the figures for \"actual displacement\", approximately one-third should be added to \"standard displacement\" figures and a further two-thirds for safe water under the propellers (which in destroyers are the lowest and most vulnerable point).\n\n(Note. The class of small Japanese destroyer now in South China waters has a standard displacement of 7'9\". While I have no paper handy for reference, I believe that this class is the shallowest draught which could be made available).\n\n14. This information more than confirmed Captain Cunninghame Graham's earlier opinion, and convinced me that restrictions on British shipping below a draught of 13 feet, and certainly of 11 feet, would be wholly unreasonable, and was of the greatest value to me (cf. Hong Kong telegram No. 53 to Nanking, under reference in paragraph 12 above).",

This is an obvious modification, and I doubt whether Sir David Owen really meant to leave such a decision to the Governor himself. (5) The Executive Council have also suggested that the Trust should have discretionary power to authorise the sub-letting of pier leases. On this, they have diverged most widely from Sir David Owen's report (see para. 83(j)) where he emphasises that, in his view, sub-letting should be allowed under no circumstances, and that it is highly undesirable that lessees should, as some have done, sub-let their piers at a profit of rental, which increases the charge the sub-tenant levies on ships using the harbour. On this, I think we should ask for further details on the facts taken into consideration by the Executive Council in making their recommendation.\n\nOn this, much turns on the appointment of Chairman as well, I think, as that the S. of S. should ask the Governor whether he wishes him (the S. of S.) to make enquiries for a suitable man, and if so, at what salary. I see no reason why we should not approve the constitution of the Port Trust, subject to further information.\n\n8. Brysson Cunningham  \n4/12/41  \nSir J. Shuckburgh.\n\nThe port of Hong Kong, which, from the point of view of shipping tonnage entering and clearing, is one of the world's principal ports, has not hitherto been organised under a port authority or harbour commission as, for instance, in London or Singapore. One of the chief officials of the Hong Kong Government is the Harbour Master, and his department controls navigation within the port limits, as well as performing the functions of Registrar of Shipping, Examiner of Masters, Marine Magistrate, and certain other subsidiary functions. Constructional work on Government piers, dredging, and reclamation, providing mooring buoys, and so on, has been the responsibility of the Public Works Department. Various private owners have long leases of harbour frontages and are responsible for the construction and maintenance of their own piers and wharves. Last year, it was decided, on the recommendation of the Governor of the Colony, to have an expert investigation carried out as to whether these arrangements for the exercise of authority in the port were sufficient and should be continued, seeing that decisions would have to be taken in the early future regarding the renewal of...",

        "content_text": "It seems to me that in principle the Secretary of State can approve the recommendations submitted to him, even though the picture may be altered if the Colony is involved in war with Japan in the next few weeks or months.\n\nThere will obviously be difficulty in present circumstances in finding a suitably qualified chairman to go out to Hong Kong to undertake the task of forming and subsequently presiding over the Port Trust. I should say that it will be essential to bring in a man from outside Hong Kong to fill that position. I would, therefore, suggest that copies of the report and of No.7 be sent to the Ministry of War Transport and the Admiralty and to the Crown Agents, saying that the Secretary of State proposes to approve the Governor's recommendations, subject to their observations.\n\nIn the meantime, No.8 has been received and asks for permission to publish in a technical journal here the report or any part of it, together with the map attached to it. The report has been published as a sessional paper in Hong Kong, but in that form, no map was attached to it, and there may obviously be objections by the Admiralty or War Office on security grounds on that point. Many of the recommendations are, however, meaningless without the attached chart, as the Editor of the journal points out. We had better send a short telegram to Hong Kong to ascertain whether the chart in full detail has in fact been published in Hong Kong, and in the meantime, send Mr. Cunningham an interim reply.\n\n3.12.41.\n\n1 Sir C. Parkinson.\n\nI could have wished that this case had not come up at this particular juncture. I feel great hesitation, at a moment when Hong Kong may be on the eve of tremendous events, in inviting a Service Department such as the Admiralty to consider proposals about future harbour administration, and particularly proposals that involve all sorts of details as to the constitution of the Harbour Board, the number of members required to constitute a quorum, and all the rest of it. The Admiralty may be disposed to wonder whether we ever read the newspapers or have any conception of the military situation in the Far East. However, this is a matter of long-term policy, and there seems no good reason why we should not proceed with the next step, in spite of the uncertainty of the situation. At any rate, no harm will be done.\n\nAs proposed by Mr. Gent.\n\nFirst dispose of No.8 as proposed & circulate.\n\n4.12.41.",

In a letter dated 27th ult., it is stated that \"approval cannot be given to the publication of this map unless you can provide direct evidence that this plan in full detail has been already extensively published in Hong Kong or in Britain.\"\n\nIn support of my application I am proposing to forward to the Admiralty the published copy of the Report, but unfortunately the copy you kindly supplied has been mutilated by our printers in setting up the text for this Journal. Have you a spare copy, intact with the map, which you could lend for the purpose? It is, of course, desirable to have the original map attached. For publication in **The Dock and Harbour Authority** the plan had to be re-drawn.\n\nIf you can also give some confirmatory evidence about the circulation of the Report in Hong Kong or in Britain, it would be very helpful.\n\nWe have already printed the first part of the Report in the December issue. The second part containing the proposals for future development will not be intelligible without the plan, and I shall be very grateful if you will kindly assist us to satisfy the Admiralty.\n\nYours faithfully,  \nBrysson Cunningham  \nEditor",

L. Monson, Esq. \nColonial Office, \nDowning Street, S.W.1 \n\nDear Sir, \n\nYour Ref.: 53995/41 \nPort of Hong Kong.\n\nI received your letter of the 9th duly, and this morning, I have received from Mr. Duncan Kennedy a copy of the late Sir David Owen's Report, which I have glanced through, not having yet had time to study it in detail. \n\nThe Port of Hong Kong and its future are subjects of interest to readers of this Journal. We have already, in May 1926 and December 1936, published important articles on the port and its development, so that it is only natural to expect the Journal to reproduce and examine the proposals made in the present Report.\n\nIn view of the fact that the Report has been published and copies issued to the press, I hope I may take it that there will be no objection to its reproduction in this Journal to whatever extent may be considered desirable. In particular, I should feel it necessary to present a copy of the plan, without which certain sections of the Report would not be intelligible.\n\nThe difficulties and delay involved in any formal application to the Government of Hong Kong are obvious. By the time a reply is received, the Report would have become, if not \"out of date\", at least a little stale. Unless I hear to the contrary, therefore, I will venture to assume that no obstacle will be placed in my way by the Colonial Office in carrying out the intention expressed above.\n\nThe copy you have kindly placed at my disposal through Mr. Kennedy will serve my immediate purpose, but I should be glad of another copy if one can be spared.\n\nYours faithfully, \nBrysson Cunningham",

Should this not be so, or should Mr. Kennedy's copy be not sufficient for your purpose, perhaps you could let me know again.\n\nYours sincerely,\n**(Spd.)** **7.B.L.

Rowell is confident that he would be able to keep an adequate eye on educational developments throughout the military period and we have in Walton, a junior member of the Hong Kong Education Department, a man capable of taking on the education work under Rowell's general supervision. Walton is in the Navy but does not expect any difficulty over his release.\n\nWhat I propose then would be to reply to Ride's personal letter saying that I appreciate his reluctance, and his desire to stay with the organization he has himself created and that in the circumstances I am prepared to drop the request for his services. I would add that I would continue to hope that if he did become available during the military period in Hong Kong we should have first call on him. (There are bound to be a good many important jobs the necessity for which we have not foreseen, to say nothing of the University work).\n\nI discussed these ideas briefly with Paskin and Miss Ruston last week in your absence, and understood them to be in general agreement.\n\nI mentioned to them also that Hazelrigg does not relish the arrival of Cunningham in the Legal Department.

The candidate we have in mind is Mr. R.A. Mirams, (53549 W.A.) Temporary Engineer, Nigeria. The salary proposed is £860 per annum. Offer was to have been made to Mr. Mirams on his personal file on the assumption that he would be required later in the year but I have held up the action, as there is now the prospect of an immediate vacancy for him.\n\n(v) that an additional S.0.3 be engaged for electrical and telecommunications planning. Whilst we have no name to suggest at the moment, Mr. Morris has interviewed a suitably qualified candidate.\n\n6. I have inserted the name of Mr. J.H. Taggart as prospective S.0.1 Supplies. We do not wish to fill this post until after Mr. Taggart's arrival in this country.\n\nJ.J. Cowperthwaite (59800 W.A.), an Administrative Officer from Sierra Leone is due to arrive here by the middle of March. There is a further vacancy under Supply for an S.0.3, into which we could fit Lieutenant D.F. Davies. Mr. Thomson agrees to give up one of his supply vacancies for this purpose.\n\nProvided that we obtain the services of Lt.Col. Cunningham in the near future the Legal Department should be adequately catered for. Mr. A. Ritchie, shown as an S.0.2 is our selection for the post of Custodian and has very considerable accounting knowledge but, no legal experience. If Lt.Col. Cunningham cannot be released to us reasonably soon, we should want to leave the S.0.1 post temporarily vacant and take on another S.0.2. There should be no Treasury objection to this.\n\n8. Under Finance negotiations are under way for an S.0.2 from the Colonial Service. We are leaving the S.0.1 post vacant at the moment. No further staff appear necessary in the near future.\n\n9.\n\nUnder Welfare Dr. Fehily has proposed the appointment of an S.0.2 to plan the organisation of relief measures. This additional appointment is strongly recommended. We have no candidate to suggest at the moment but may have a name to put forward shortly. In addition, we want authority to engage Miss I.N. Watkins as prospective Principal Matron.\n\n10. Before he left Mr. Sansom considered that the time had come to obtain a planner for the Preventive Branch and recommended that Mr. W.J. Buller (36498 C.R.) former Chief Preventive Officer now on abolition pension in Australia, should be recalled. This would entail the addition of another S.0.3 post. His pay while working at the Colonial Office would be £800, the maximum of his salary on which he retired, which is the salary scale.\n\n11.",

All these telegrams had been repeated to Admiral Mountbatten and to the Dominion Governments.\n\nX\n\nSIR ANDREW CUNNINGHAM said that he had deferred sending the President's latest telegram to Admiral Fraser until the Chiefs of Staff had decided what arrangements to make to meet the President's request for military co-ordination!\n\nSIR ALAN BROOKE handed round copies of a draft telegram to Admiral Mountbatten instructing him to assume responsibility for military co-ordination concerning the occupation of Hong Kong with both Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and General MacArthur.\n\nSIR ANDREW CUNNINGHAM doubted whether Admiral Mountbatten could, in effect, arrange for this co-ordination. His immediate task was the urgent provision of forces of occupation to follow up the arrival of the naval detachment now that the Australians had refused to provide a temporary garrison. The Americans had agreed that the Japanese forces in Hong Kong should surrender to the British and were aware of our intention to sail in a detachment from the British Pacific Fleet as soon as possible. Such co-ordination as was necessary could be arranged by the British Chiefs of Staff.\n\nSIR CHARLES PORTAL agreed with this view and suggested that a telegram should at once be sent to the U.S. Chiefs of Staff giving them the assurance requested by the President concerning assistance and support to Chinese and American forces operating in the hinterland, and requesting that General Wedemeyer be informed accordingly. The Foreign Office should inform our Ambassador in Chungking of the terms of this telegram.\n\nSIR ALAN BROOKE agreed with this line of action and with a suggestion that the U.S. Chiefs of Staff should be asked at the same time to issue the necessary instructions, if these had not already been sent, to General MacArthur to arrange for the surrender of Hong Kong to the British commander.\n\n(iii) Statement on Hong Kong by Foreign Secretary\n\nTHE COMMITTEE were informed that the Foreign Secretary wished to make a statement regarding the British reoccupation of Hong Kong in Parliament early that afternoon and that the Chiefs of Staff had been asked to approve the suggested text. Copies of the relevant extract from his draft statement were handed round at the meeting.\n\nTHE CHIEFS OF STAFF expressed their agreement with the proposed statement on this point, and the Foreign Office were informed accordingly.\n\nX lo. 6 of 18th August\n\nNo. 6 of 17th August.\n\n+\n\n-7-",

The Military requested Mr. Luscombe, Assistant Superintendent of Police, to arrange for the following Police patrols behind the front line to work from 18.00 to 00.06 hours nightly in lieu of the Police fixed Lewis gun patrols formerly manned in the front line: (1) Gap Road and Queen's Road East to Arsenal Street, (2) The Water Front from Arsenal Street to Percival Street, (3), Canal Road West from Gloucester Road to Leighton Hill Road. In addition, a fixed Lewis Gun post was still maintained on the first floor of the Station to repel a possible landing near the Station. The British front line then ran from the sea front to Percival Street to Lee Theatre round Happy Valley to Blue Pool Road to Wong Nei Chung with an advance force on Leighton Hill. \n\nUpper Levels. Night. Owing to shortage of men at Central, Upper Levels had to supply additional Europeans for water front patrols from this night onwards. The patrols covering the remaining parts of the district had in consequence themselves to be restricted. \n\nNight. As the result of the rumour that the Japanese had landed at Victoria Road near the Dairy Farm, this area in addition to the water front was patrolled throughout the night on instructions from Police Headquarters. \n\nThe occupants Police had to clear air raid tunnels. In the rear were in danger of suffocation as the ventilation system had not been working for nearly two days. \n\n20.00 to 22.00",

This project was originally proposed in October 1947, as one of the recommendations of the Hong Kong Colonial Development and Welfare Committee.\n\nThe output of city night soil is estimated at approximately 150 tons daily. The capital cost of a plant to utilize the entire supply is estimated at approximately $1,000,000 (£62,500). This includes provision for 25 maturation tanks; 17 three-ton trucks fitted with tanks; a short pier; pumps, pipes and fittings; a proportion of the cost of a branch road to the site; quarters for a staff of 33; and garage and workshop for 17 trucks.\n\nIt was proposed that the project should be carried out in two stages. Part of the plant was to have been erected within a year to utilize 50 tons of night soil daily; the remainder was to have been completed in another two years. It was intended in the intervening period to carry out experiments on the manufacture of night soil and city garbage to ascertain whether it was desirable to complete the scheme for night soil only, or to modify it for the utilisation of night soil and garbage. I understand\nthat\nJ.P. CUNNINGHAM, Esq.",
