Cette augmentation a sa contre-partie tout entière dans la circulation, qui s'est accrue de 74 millions. Les autres comptes n'offrent que des variations insignillantes. Bemarquons que la tenue du portefeuille, même en décomptant l'influence de la fin de mois, est bonne pour la saison, car, généralement, la première moitié de décembre est un motif de baisse pour cette nature de compte, sauf la revanche à se produire grassement en janvier. \n\nLa Chambre de compensation a échangé, en novembre 1876, pour 197,665,601 francs d'effets de tous genres; sur le même mois des quatre années antérieures, il n'y a que 1873 qui soit plus élevé (206 millions); les années 1872, 1874 ot 1875 n'ont atteint, pour cette période mensuelle, que des chiffres inférieurs: 160, 131 et 185 millions. \n\nBILAN DE LA BANQUE D'ANGLETERRE \n\n30 novembre 1876. \n\nPASSIF Billets créés........... 43.623.170 \n\n1.

Tout compte fait, peu de variations. Le rapport de l'encaisse au passif à vue est à 61,04 0/0 an Tien de 60.53 0/0 il y a huit jours. La différence est peu sensible. \n\nTotal égal (actif et paesi.. \n\non n'a. \n\nOn voit que la combinaison adoptée chez nos voisins, combinaison qui cadre parfaitement avec la liberté et sup- plée, avec avantage, la loi si défectueuse que les adver- sairés de la pluralité des banques d'émission trouvaient déjà trop libérale, favorise le développement de la circulation tout comme l'unité de banques. Si on avait agi ainsi en France en 1848, la province ne subirait pas aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'opérations, le joug si pesant de Paris pour être édifié à cet égard, qu'à se rappeler le régime des succursales de la Banque de France et le comparer àt celui des comptoirs de la Banque nationale belge qui an moins a eu le bon esprit d'introduire les principes de self government dans ses règlements avec ces derniers (Voir Economiste Français da 29 janvier 1876, page 154).

Il est de tradition que, pour que la Banque d'Angleterre songe à recourir à la hausse du taux de l'escompte, il faut que ladite réserve tende a tomber au-dessous du tiers des comples courants du Trésor, des administrations publiques et des particuliers cumulés. \n\nLes Etats-Unis pour la plus forte partie et la Plata pour une somme moindre ont retiré, de là banque d'Angleterre, la majeure partie du million de liv. sterl. dont l'encaissé a baissé depuis huit jours. C'est par les comptes particu- liers et la circulation que ce retrait s'est opéré; il en ré- sulte naturellement une diminution de 771,750 liv. st. de la réserve, diminution qui eût été plus forte si le compte courant des administratious publiques ne s'était pas aceru de 301,451 liv. st. Somme toute, la proportion, de la ré- serve aux comptes courants réunis, est de 53.45 0/0 au Tien de 54.64 0/0 il y a huit jours, celle de l'encaisse au passif à vue de 49.93 0/0 au lieu de 50.66 0/0 la semaine dernière. La Banque d'Angleterre a résisté à la tentation de rehausser le taux de son escompte. C'est courageux de sa part, ear on la conseillait chaudement de le faire. \n\nLes échanges au \"Clearing-House, à Londres, ont roulé, celte semaine, sur 80,812,000 liv.st. contre 199.724,000 liv. st., il y a un an, à pareille époque.

Monétairement parlant, il y a du mieux à Londres. \n\nEn 1873, la Banque d'Angleterre a baisse de 1 0/0 le taux de son escompte; il est donc à 30/0. A Amsterdam, il est à 5 1/2 0/0 et à Bruxelles à 60'0. En politique, rien de nouveau. un mois (voir Comme nous l'avons déjà fait, il y a l'Economiste Français du 11 novembre, p. 647), nous don- nous sommairement, et en supprimant activement et pas- sivement quelques doubles emplois, tels que les billets en caisse, le capital non versé, etc., un résumé du bilan des 21 banques concordataires án 31 octobre dernier, avec rap- prochement des chiffres de celui du 30 septembre. \n\nBilans des 24 banques concordataires suisses et de leurs succursales. \n\nCaisse Espèces. \n\n31 octobre. \n\nACTIF. \n\n30 septembre. \n\n86.520.460 \n\n36.052.983 \n\nValeurs diverses \n\n4.044.250 \n\n3.180.978 \n\nCréances à vue.... \n\n18.944.308 \n\n20.840.201 \n\nEscomptes et avances \n\n172.848.662 \n\n173.196.566 \n\nComples courants débiteurs. \n\n70.347.087 \n\n73.855.795 \n\nEllets publics. \n\n33.027.813 \n\n33.537.971 \n\nCréances hypothécaires.. \n\n110.512.770 \n\n110.189.118 \n\nAutres créances à terine.........

A Paris, la situation de la Banque de France, au point de vue des affaires, est meilleure. La Bourse est indécise, ne baissant pas, mais ne pouvant so résoudre à la hausse. \n\nEn 1875, les marchés monétaires étrangers sont faciles et les taux d'escompte tendent à se maintenir bas. A Paris, il y a, au contraire, un leger resserrement. Les affaires commerciales et financières vont bien, mais on est encore sous le coup de l'impression produite par l'achat par le gouvernement anglais de 176,602 actions du canal de Suez appartenant au khédive et de l'envoi en Égypte de M. S. Cave. \n\nEn 1876, les craintes de Finsuccès de la conférence pour empêcher la guerre continuent à dire vives; elles sont compliquées à Tintérieur de difficuliés pouvant amener de modifications ministérielles. Argent abondant, et liquidation s'annonçant facile, mais commençant en baisse. Du mieux du côté de l'Égypte.",

I annex a final report by Mr. P. N. H. Jones, Acting Director of Public Works, on these trials, accompanied by a plan and section of the borings, etc. They show that of the two sites that have been suggested for the dam and have been tested by well sinking and pricking, that to seaward (No. 1), in spite of requiring the water-tight diaphragm of the dam to be taken down to solid rock at a general level of 65 feet instead of to one of from 45 to 54 feet below Ordnance Datum, is the more advantageous as the dam there would be little over three-quarters of the length of a dam at No. 2 site and would impound a much larger quantity of water.\n\nWith an overflow level 60 feet above Ordnance Datum, a dam on No. 1 site will impound approximately 1,200 million gallons. The catchment area of the reservoir formed by this dam is 2,292 acres, but the water falling on 690 acres out of this area is taken up by the old Tytan Reservoir, while that falling on another 320 acres is already partially intercepted by catchwaters. The reservoir now proposed will therefore take the complete drainage of 1,282 acres and the partial drainage of 320 acres.\n\nI enclose a report by Mr. D. Jaffe, Acting Executive Engineer, on the relation between this drainage and the impound of the proposed reservoir. It has been drawn up on the data furnished by three years' low rainfall and on certain assumptions as to the proportion of the rainfall available for storage. It indicates that 1,200 million gallons...\n\n## Enclosure 2. Chests Toss to 6\n\nby Parcel Post",

Low Level Scheme.\n\n## Purping Station\n\nThe enlarging of the Pumping Station to take two more engines and pumps, each capable of lifting two million gallons a day, will bring the power of the station up to six and a half million gallons a day, which is as much as this reservoir can be expected to yield.\n\nAn additional rising main will be required in order to pump this quantity of water without an undue amount of power being wasted in friction.\n\n## Road Diversion\n\nThe diversion of the Shaukiwan road will commence at the junction of the new road (now in course of construction) and the Stanley Road, contour round the hillside, across the earth dam, and then follow the stream on the opposite side of the valley to that on which the existing road runs.\n\nThis road diversion will be much shorter than the existing road and it can have easier gradients.\n\n## Estimates\n\nThe estimate for these works is quite rough and has been prepared on general lines. It is probable that a tender agreeing with these prices could not be obtained and that these works could be carried out cheaper and more expeditiously by administration.\n\nAbampoa mud will be used instead of concrete for the dam, as this will be safer than concrete in the event of any settlement or slips of the general mass of the dam and is also cheaper.\n\nThe roadway over the top of the dam will form part of the Shaukiwan Road diversion.\n\nThe byewash is taken as 300 feet in length excavated out of the hill-side. A very large amount of excavation will have to be done in order that the overflow may have a free run off.\n\nThe duplication of the rising main will also be valuable as a stand-by when a pipe bursts.\n\n## Conclusion\n\n... \n10th February, 1905,\n**(Sd.)

Jaffe's report and Estimate for Tywan Tux Schere (Second Section) Dated 8th February, 1905.\n\nPage 1.\n\nParagraph 2:\n\nIt is a question after all whether this suction main should be taken up, as of course even with the very large storage capacity of this proposed Low Level reservoir the saving in lift of pumps by getting water from the Reservoir now under construction would mean a considerable saving in coal consumption.\n\nIt may be possible with ample boiler power at the Pumping Station to steam electrically driven centrifugal pumps for dealing with leakage into Dam foundations and so avoid cost of a Sund, and temporary Boiler-house and plant on the site.\n\nAn economy would be to have the core below ground also of Ahampoa mud, but I prefer the concrete.\n\nA saving can be effected here by simply sloping off at a convenient angle and allowing the down stream side of Dam to be merely a beach.\n\nIn connection with dredging over the base of the Dam an item of expenditure has been omitted and that is dredging or excavating over the whole area (tide wasted) for a depth of some feet to reduce the possibility of salt contamination.\n\nThis is a very heavy item of expenditure and I think $2.50 a cubic yard excessive. Rock drills will reduce the cost considerably.\n\nThe work should be done departmentally as suggested or by a European Contractor.\n\n## GENERALLY:\n\nThe figures may stand, for any economies |  | \n| --- | --- | \nTemporary Pumps: | Page 3 |\n|  | 000,108 | \n|  | 000,06 | \n|  | 000,TRA | \n|  | 000,09 | \n|  | 000,09 | \n|  | 008,sor | \n|  | 44 | \n|  | 000,811 | \n|  | 1000 | \n|  | 000,ar | \nPermanent Works: |  |\nBarth Dam: | Page 3 |\n|  | 008,$18,88 | \n|  | .000,008?

The only reason why the juniors can have signed the petition is because one of the foregoing officers is not to be promoted. I am at a loss to understand why the signatures of Messrs. Darby and Reed are appended to it because I do not see in what way they can possibly be affected, the surveying branch being entirely distinct from the engineering.\n\nIt has always been my practice to promote officers whenever an opportunity occurred and I considered them qualified.\n\nMr. Gale was promoted from Assistant Engineer to Executive Engineer just before my predecessor left the Colony, 9 years ago. Messrs. Hollingsworth, Fisher and Jaffe have all been similarly promoted on my recommendation since I became Head of the Department.

Carrie, B.S.C., as 1st Assistant Director of Public Works over the heads of many senior and capable officers in the Department.\n\nIt should be borne in mind that Civil Servants stationed in distant Colonies are at a disadvantage for promotion to any other Colony, and of course are prevented by distance from taking up any other post in Great Britain, and must generally be content with promotion in the Colony in which they are working, and for this few opportunities occur; moreover any personal endeavours or exceptional service of theirs meets with no adequate return, surely then they may expect to be protected from discouragement.\n\nThe staff are naturally anxious to do their utmost to facilitate the work of the Department, and suggest that recalling an Officer or Officers on leave, or allocating an officer in the Colony to act would be of more service to the government than appointing a 1st Assistant Director of Public Works from outside the Department.\n\nWe appreciate Your Excellency's sympathetic attitude towards us, but we consider this matter so vital to our interests that we venture to trouble you further.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\nYour Excellency's most obedient Servants,\n(signed)\nH.

Boulton, Hollingsworth and Perkins.\n\nMr. Boulton is an invalid and I can procure a certificate from Dr. Marriott, who attended him, that he is quite unfit for work. Dr. Marriott took so serious a view of his case that he called on me personally to tell me how necessary it was that Mr. Boulton should be got away home as early as possible.\n\nMr. Hollingsworth. Owing to the defect mentioned in my minute of the 19th instant - his unfortunate manner and lack of tact - I feel that I could not recommend him for the post, even if he were at present in the Colony.\n\nMr. Perkins. I have explained the difficulty I feel with regard to recommending this officer. He is very junior in service to the other Executive Engineers who are over him with the exception of Mr. Jackman.\n\nWith regard to (b), the Executive Engineers present are Messrs. Tooker, Gale, Fisher, Jackman and Jaffe.\n\nMr. Tooker. I have already stated my reasons for not recommending him.\n\nMr. Gale.

Denison, Ram and Gibbs, but these must necessarily be carefully checked. A case was brought to my notice in which the working drawing of a steel roof truss was inaccurate and I was informed that such cases were not infrequent. Detailed drawings were also in course of preparation for Kowloon Point Market, and sundry other services such as the New Stairway to Government House Ball Room.\n\nI am quite satisfied that Mr. Fisher and his Staff are fully employed for the current year; just at present they appear to be particularly busy and can hardly keep pace with the work. I was somewhat surprised to find that an Executive Engineer was burdened with so much detail. There are no clerks and no drafts-men in his office, the only assistance given being 2 Tracers. The result is that he is practically tied to his office and though in charge of some new works at Tai Po can only visit them about once in three weeks.\n\n(i).\n\nPublic Works Extraordinary under r. Jaffe.\n\nThe estimated cost of work is about $220,000: and the cost of Staff about $18,069: percentage about 8.2%.\n\nWith regard to the Staff I was informed that 2 Overseers had not yet been appointed as the work at Mong-kok-tsui Breakwater was not sufficiently advanced to necessitate their presence.\n\nThe cost of the breakwater is estimated at over 1 million dollars. A large amount of detail work has been got through in taking and plotting extremely accurate soundings and the preparation of plans. Alterations to the original scheme have involved further work. At present dredging is proceeding and the assistant engineer's time is chiefly taken up in supervising this work and taking further soundings for the depth of trench to be excavated for the foundation of the breakwater. In the meanwhile bills of quantities and further details are being prepared previous to calling for tenders for a contract.",

I have nothing to suggest which might lead to greater rapidity except a further increase in staff to admit of the commencement of a proper triangulation of the Island. At present there is a mass of information in the office which will be useful for filling in details. This information consisting of traverse surveys, property plane &c., may be likened to a number of pieces of a puzzle which require to be fitted together on a frame. There is at present no reliable framework and many pisoms are missing. Until this triangulation or framework is undertaken and completed, the details or pieces cannot be fitted together. Existing maps of the Island cannot be regarded as sur- -Teys and even the large scale map of the City of Victoria is I am informed inaccurate and unreliable.\n\nI am aware that there is a general feeling that the work in this branch is very slow. In connection with thøis I would point out that survey work on this Island and in the New Territories presents many difficulties owing to the hilly and ragged nature of the country. There are also constant delays in outdoor work due to fogs, rains and heavy winds. For these reasons alone it is obvious that rapid work is out of the question.\n\nThe present Staff is, I understand, gradually over- -taking the arrears in work, but it will be some time before they",

He was arrested on suspicion on landing, and on him were found detailed map of the Suez Canal, sheet of (--?-- ) cypher messages concealed in his tarboosh, and other compromising correspondence. He had also entrusted to (members of ships' companies ?) two (? box) es of detonators for exploding dynamite and notro-glycerine.\n\nFurther a steady stream of German officers and men both naval and military together with all kinds of war material has flow- ed unceasingly into Constantinople, which has been converted to all intents and purposes into a German military base. German officers\n\nare known to have penetrated far into the interior of the Turkish\n\nEmpire in the endeavour to stir up agitation against Great Britain and her allies. All these movements, it is impossible to doubt,\n\nhave been carried out with the direct connivance of the Ottoman\n\nAuthorities and can point to only one conclusion.\n\n(That) neutral powers (meant) deliberately and intentional- ly to provoke Great Britain to war is shown by instructions issued not later than October 18th to the Turkish commandant at Jaffa by the Turkish Minister of War, which already allude to His Majesty's Government as the enemy, give detailed orders as to resisting attack by warships and include an order to break the Consulate flagstaff and remove the insignia.\n\nThe Mosul Damascus Army Corps have since their mobilization been constantly sending troops south preparatory to an invasion of Egypt and the Suez Canal from Akaba and Gaza. A large body of Bedouin Arabs have been called out and armed to assist in this venture\n\nTransport has been collected and roads have been prepared up to the",

Section. From 1904-06, Mr. Biden was exclusively engaged on the erection of the Pumping Station Buildings and Pumping Machinery at Tytam Tuk. From 1906-07, in addition to the work already mentioned, he was engaged on preliminary work in connection with the 2nd. Section of the Tytam Tuk Scheme, principally a contour survey and levelling and the erection of weirs and gauges for measuring the yield of the catchment areas. From 1907-08, Mr. Biden was engaged on the completion of the 1st. Section of the Tytam Tuk Scheme under Mr. Jackman, Mr. Jaffe being absent on leave from April 1907 to March 1908. From 1908-10, when Mr. Biden went on leave, he was engaged on preliminary work and dredging operations in connection with the Harbour of Refuge Scheme.\n\nHis Mechanical knowledge was of special value with regard to the latter as the dredger employed was a large vessel of the ladder type, equipped with powerful engines and machinery.\n\nOn Mr. Biden's return from leave, in 1911, he was placed under the instructions of Mr. Hollingsworth, Executive Engineer in charge of Maintenance of Waterworks, during whose leave and temporary occupation of the post of 2nd.

His Excellency concluded by saying that he believed that the breakwater would add materially to the prosperity of the port. Junks and engaged in loading unloading steamers would be able to work a longer time when they could fly to the Refuge for protection in case of storms. He hoped the time would soon come when the prosperity of the port and the increase of the small craft would compel the construction of still another and yet larger refuge. (Loud applause.)\n\nislands and on the shores of the main land he had no more modern appliances than two steam crane barges. He had four barges with hand-cranes, and the rest of the plant consisted of the most ramshackle set of junks I have ever seen anywhere. (Laughter.) He bought them up in Canton, Macao, and elsewhere, like a very wise man, as cheaply as possible. The junks were fitted with derricks made of not very solid-looking timber, and fitted with ropes, which I have a strong suspicion, were bought at the auction at the Naval Yard when condemned to the public. (Laughter.) No one looking at the very primitive appliances that he has used would think that the work could possibly be done in the time and without accidents involving a very considerable loss of life. I have watched the work and watched the reports of accidents, and during the five years that this work has been under construction there has not been one single accident either to a junk, or of parting of a rope, or of the slipping of heavy stone. There was only one life lost during the whole of the period, and that was through an accident to an old woman, who was killed by a splinter of stone during blasting operations on one of the islands where stone was being collected. That is, I think, a wonderful record for a work of this magnitude.\" (Applause.)\n\nCheers were given at the call of His Excellency for Messrs. Jaffé and Duncan, and \"Efficient John Chinaman\" (the contractor).\n\nPRINCE OF WALES' FUND.\n\nSUBSCRIPTION LIST NO. 1.\n\nMr. and Mrs. G. L. Platt (December)\n\nMr. B. Swenson Police 4th Sub.)

J. Boland, $5; Mr. Percy K. Hazlitt, $10\n\nIt was very interesting to consider how these stones were handled, proceeded H.E. the Governor: The two steam crane barges were moved out to some of the islands or adjacent shores for the purpose of dealing with the heaviest stones only, 5-ton stones, of which there were many in this work. The cranes would lift as many of these 5-ton stones as were within their radius, and deposit them on to the junks, in which they were brought to Mongkoktsui, and lowered by the derricks of these junks into the water. When the 5-ton stones were not within reach of the crane, the junkmen would get hold of a long chain from the hand cranes, and the stone would be dragged down to the beach, fastened to the stern of a flat-bottomed sampan, and towed to a junk. The stone, of course, effectively weighed half its weight on land when suspended in the water, and this weight was counter-balanced by stones placed in the bow of the sampan.\n\nThey came to inscribe the legend on the stone, he (the Governor) considered they should have a Chinese inscription as well. It was suggested to him by H.M.'s Consul-General in Canton that the Civil Governor of the Province was an extremely erudite Chinese scholar. So he (the Governor) wrote to His Excellency Chang Ming Chi and asked him to write an inscription for this memorial stone. His Excellency undertook it with great good nature. The words are \"Kwong Lan Po Cheung,\" which mean \"A Bulwark against the raging waves.\" They might like to know where these words came from. The first two characters, \"Kwong Lan,\" mean \"raging waves,\" and are quoted from \"Holding back the raging waves that have rolled forward\" in the Tsun Hok Kai by Hon Yu (A.D. 788-824), of the Tong Dynasty. The other words, \"Po Cheung,\" mean \"bulwark,\" and are quoted from \"The City Shing is the bulwark of the clan of Mang\" in a record in \"Tao Chun\" of the events in the 13th year of Duke Ting of the Lo State (B.C. 50). This magnificent work was the product of European engineering skill backed by Chinese quite uninstructed but very practical suggestions and the extraordinary efficiency of the Chinese race.\n\nCollected by Miss Square Dr. Forsyth, $5; Mr. Mauricio, $10; Mr. Martin, $5; Mr. F.

Treasurer.\n\nHongkong, 16th December, 1915,\n\nFUND TO BE CLOSED.\n\nAt a meeting of the Committee of the Prince of Wales' Fund, held at the Council Chamber Hongkong, on December 18th, it was decided on the motion of H.E. the Governor, who presided, to close the fund on December 31st.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said that he had called the members together to propose that the fund should be closed at the end of the month. When the war broke out it was anticipated that there would be a good deal of unemployment in the United Kingdom. That anticipation was realised for some time, but then a different set of circumstances supervened with the withdrawal of large numbers of men from the labour market and the large amount of work necessary for the Government, and instead of there being a shortage there was an excess of employment with a shortage of labour. That had continued, and out of the large amount subscribed to the Fund only a small sum had been expended in relief of distress. The remainder, over £500,000 sterling, had been invested and would be used at the conclusion of the war for the relief of distress which might supervene when the labour market would again become considerably disturbed, or for other reasons.\n\nIn the meantime it did not appear necessary that the fund should be added to by subscriptions from this Colony, at any rate, where many people had bound themselves to monthly subscriptions not thinking that the war would last so long, and being in many cases unable to afford those monthly subscriptions. There were other funds for various charitable purposes connected with the war, and there was also no doubt that presently they would be asked to subscribe to another national loan. Those two objects, the charitable and the patriotic, assisting the Government with funds to carry on the war, were both objects to which people might very usefully subscribe. In those circumstances it seemed proper to close the fund.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. WEI YU seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously, while Mr. N. J. Stabb, as Hon. Treasurer, and his staff were thanked for their services, on the motion of H.E. the GOVERNOR, seconded by the Hon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK.\n\nA smoking concert held under the auspices of the Nanking branch of the Patriotic League of Britons Overseas recently realised $825, in aid of the fund for sending Christmas presents to the troops at the front.\n\nA most successful Pianoforte Recital was given on December 11th Shameen by Mr. Denman Fuller, supported by Miss Wilkes, who was ably accompanied in her songs by Mrs. Adams. The audience, though a small one owing to the inclement weather, was highly appreciative throughout the whole programme. Lovers of music had a treat also on Sunday evening, when Mr. Denman Fuller very kindly gave an Organ Recital at Christ Church.\n\nThe proceeds of the two recitals, amounting to about $500, are being devoted to various War Funds, and remitted to London, £29,000 ... $323,605.84.\n\nResidents of Shameen are fortunate in having had Mr. Fuller's voluntary assistance for this purpose.\n\nPage 507\n\n...\n\n9/4/16\n\nStran\n\n139.\n\nSu May\n\nStrele\n\n9/47.\n\n16\n\n834\n\nStay\n\nthe receipt &\n\n9 Feb 76\n\nL\n\n+\n\nhave se to ach:\n\no You\n\ndeep\n\nNo 419 of the\n\n30-De\n\nin which your recommend to my notice the Excellent work done by Ch.

These extra works are the widening of the roadway over the dam from 13' 6\" to 16' 6\" at an estimated cost of $15,000 and the approached road to the dam from the pumping main road at an estimated cost of $8,000. Adding these two amounts ($23,000) to the contract amount ($1,780,681) the estimated cost of the completed works becomes $1,803,681. The actual cost on final measurements is $1,809,143 an excess of only $5,462 over the estimate which is equivalent to about 1/3%.\n\n(Sd.) D. Jaffe,\n27th February, 1918.",

This contract was to supply and complete in 90 weeks from acceptance of Contract,\n\nThe dates given in Mr. D. Jaffe's Report (19th February, 1918) for delivery F, C, B, do not apply to the contract as accepted. The contract was accepted by letter dated 9th January, 1914, so the plant should have been erected ready for working by the 1st October, 1915.\n\nMessrs. James Simpson & Co's Erector arrived in the Colony on the 27th March, 1915, but was unable to proceed with the erection, as the buildings were not sufficiently far advanced, the engine room not being roofed in so that erection could proceed, until December 1915. Time was an essential part of the contract, the usual powers for extending time were not inserted, and the Specification was strictly drawn binding the Contractor in the Clauses 16 and 17.\n\nBut the Contractor was prevented proceeding with the erection of the engines until two-and-a-half months after the time allowed in the contract for completion. In the circumstances, the proper course to pursue would I suggest have been for the Government and the Contractor to have mutually agreed a new date for completion of contract.\n\nThis does not appear to have been done, and I have difficulty in seeing how Cl. 16 and 17 could be enforced for delays that arose then October 1915, but previous to December, 1917, when an agreement was come to between Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Norman for Simpson & Co.\n\nI have been unable to interview Mr. Dyer, the Fitter who was in charge of the job, and when last heard of he was at Bombay, but he has not yet reported in London, and the firm have no information regarding him.\n\nAny question of compensation or enforcing of penalty under the contract is complicated by the delay in handing over the building in a condition fit for erection to proceed when the Contractor was ready to do so, together with the effect of War conditions, both on manufacture and shipment (which, however, might or might not affect the case).\n\nThe letters of the 27th February, 1918, from The Hon. The Governor of Hong Kong to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies mentions that \"no actual loss has been suffered from the delay in handing over the new engines.\" From the conditions, December, 1917, agreed between Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Norman for James Simpson & Co, it is apparent no inconvenience was anticipated due to the necessity of replacing certain parts from this country, as it states \"such replacement to be effected so soon as conditions in England permitted, etc., or in any case not later than six months after hostilities have ceased.\n\nI have just been informed that the parts have been shipped and an Erector will sail for Hong Kong, via America, by first available boat.\n\nSo far as the Contractor is concerned, in substituting parts no avoidable delay appears to have arisen here.",

(Of course the question whether a particular firm is in the Statutory List or Class A of the General Black List very often has to be decided on political grounds or grounds other than its actual character.)\n\nIt does not seem possible therefore for a Colonial Government to place any definite restrictions on the dealings of a branch of a Class A firm, but it seems very undesirable that such a respectable branch should take orders from British firms which might go to British firms or other responsible firms in the Colony.\n\nI think therefore that it is quite justifiable to warn firms here not to have any dealings with the Hong Kong branch of this firm and to place such restrictions as can be placed on shipments from this country to the Hong Kong branch. I do not, however, see what restrictions are possible except the refusal of export licences in the case of shipments for this firm, and this will of course only cover:\n\n(a) goods exported from this country which are in Class A of the prohibited export list i.e. prohibited to all destinations.\n(b) goods transhipped in this country which are either other than in Class A of the prohibited export list, or in the list of our prohibited imports.\n\nI should certainly be in favour of asking the War Trade Department to refuse licences in such cases, with the proviso at the end of paragraph 4 of this letter.\n\nAs regards goods actually shipped - see Page 208 - should not ship the goods, but if they subsequently protest, we might withdraw this embargo.\n\n7 eofry to W.T.D. asking them to proceed at A refily that we concur generally.\n\nhave asked W.T.D. as above to Rafment to the H.

        "content_text": "HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA considerable increase is shown this year in the \"Special Expenditure\" for the Railway. After the years of war, it has become necessary to have considerable renewals of rolling stock and machines. It is proposed to obtain from home the frameworks for 4 new carriages, which will be built up and completed locally at a total cost of $70,000. Cylinders and tyres require renewing, and votes amounting to $10,741 have, therefore, been inserted. One new locomotive is also urgently needed, and a sum of $20,000 is therefore provided for that purpose. A considerable increase in goods traffic is anticipated as conditions become more normal, and to cope with this increase and to replace worn-out vehicles, it is proposed to provide for 30 thirty-ton wagons at a cost of $198,333. A vote has also been inserted for additional machines for the workshops amounting to $15,067.\n\nUnder \"Construction,\" also, votes amounting to $2,650 have been inserted for necessary improvements to the line. The net increase in Special Expenditure is, therefore, $305,574.\n\nPensions\n\nUnder the head of \"Pensions,\" honourable members will note with regret that the pensions of Sir H. S. Berkeley, Mr. Seth, and Mr. J. Dyer Ball have ceased owing to their deaths.\n\nThe resignation of Sir Henry May has already been referred to in this Council, and I am glad to think that his eminent services to the Colony, in which he spent practically the whole of his long official career, are to be suitably commemorated. The pension of another public servant who was for many years Treasurer, Mr. A. M. Thomson, also appears, and among the pensions to be paid will now be that of Mr. D. Jaffe, whose state of health, I regret to say, necessitates his retirement. Among much useful work that he performed in connection with the public works of the Colony, the building of the dam at Taitam Tuk will always stand as a tribute to his engineering skill.\n\nAmong the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions appear the names of the widows of two more Police-officers who lost their lives in tragic circumstances, namely, Inspector Terrett and Sergeant Glendinning. In both these cases, the Government has granted additional sums, making the total up to £104 a year. The pension granted to Mrs. MacFarlane recalls the great loss that the Government suffered by the sudden death of Dr. MacFarlane, whose work as Bacteriologist had been of the greatest service to the community during the several epidemics. He had also, for some years, done special work for the Dairy Farm Company with very satisfactory results.\n\nUnder \"Charitable Services,\" there is a new item of $25,000 in aid of local Chinese charities. This sum will be administered by a Committee, over which the Secretary for Chinese Affairs will preside.\n\nA Warning.\n\nI have now referred to most of the more important details of the estimates, but before concluding, I wish to revert for a moment to the totals of revenue and expenditure. It will be observed that the estimates, as framed, show a balance in favour of revenue of something more than four lakhs of dollars. It is probable that this balance is under-estimated, as the dollar has, for purposes of sterling payments, been converted at the very safe rate of 3s. But, on the other side, there are two factors to be reckoned with. One is the deficit on rice purchases, to which I have already alluded. The other is the fact that, whatever may be the exact result of the discussions which have taken place with regard to the emoluments of Government servants, it is certain that considerable additional expenditure must be incurred on that account. I am confident that no member of this Council or of the community will grudge the payment of whatever may be decided upon as necessary for the purpose of giving adequate remuneration to the members of the public service. I trust that this important matter may be settled at no very distant date, but at present, it is impossible to make any definite provision in the estimates owing to the difficulty of saying even approximately what amounts are involved. I have already referred to the sum of $465,000 which has been inserted under Miscellaneous Services to meet the special allowances which are now being paid, and when these allowances cease, the money will be available for purposes of such permanent increase in emoluments as may be ultimately approved.\n\nI mention these two matters now because it is not improbable that the expenditure on them may result in turning the favourable balance of the Estimates into a deficit. I do not think, however, that that is a consideration which need cause any hesitation in voting the sums provided in the Estimates. These sums include very large expenditure on works of development, many of which may confidently be expected to prove remunerative at an early date. And I submit that such works are a proper charge against the accrued balances of the Colony, which are in a position to stand some reduction and which could not, in my view, be devoted to a better purpose than to furthering the development of the Colony.\n\nWith these remarks, I submit the Estimates for the consideration of honourable members. I am aware that there are many matters of importance not dealt with, but I must ask for some measure of indulgence in consideration of the fact that I have only recently arrived, and that some time must elapse before I can place definite proposals before the Council for dealing with such questions.\n\nIt is proposed to take the second reading of the Supply Bill on Thursday, October 30th, if that will meet the convenience of honourable members, and in the meantime, the Colonial Secretary and Treasurer will be glad to afford any information on the subject of the Estimates that may be required.\n\nThe Bill was then read a first time, and the Council adjourned until the 30th inst.\n\nFINANCE COMMITTEE.\n\nA meeting of the Finance Committee followed, the Colonial Secretary presiding.\n\nIncidental Police Expenses\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommended the Council to vote a sum of six hundred and ninety-six dollars ($696) in aid of the vote Police and Prison Departments, A. Police, Other Charges, Incidental Expenses.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN—This sum is required for expenses incurred in India by Mr. Perdue when recruiting Police.\n\nThe vote was agreed to.\n\nBoundary Stones\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommended the Council to vote a sum of two hundred and twenty dollars ($220) in aid of the vote Public Works, Extraordinary, Hongkong, Miscellaneous, (23) Boundary Stones.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN—The vote for the boundary stones at Cheung Chau to mark out the area under the recent Ordinance. There are 23 boundary stones in all.\n\nThe vote was agreed to.\n\nScavenging\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommended the Council to vote a sum of one thousand, three hundred dollars ($1,300) in aid of the vote Sanitary Department, Other Charges, Scavenging City, Villages and Hill District.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN—This is required for special scavenging work on account of the recent outbreak of gastroenteritis. The special cleaning out of back lanes was undertaken as it was found that flies were carrying the disease.\n\nThe vote was agreed to.\n\nTyphoon and Rainstorm Damages\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommended the Council to vote a sum of nine thousand, two hundred dollars ($9,200) in aid of the vote Public Works, Recurrent, Hongkong, Miscellaneous (17) Typhoon and Rainstorm Damages.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN—The expenditure covers a very long period. The heavy rains on July 4th and July 8th did considerable damage, and more damage was done by the heavy rains in August. The total cost of making good the damage was $28,200. The money voted $19,000, leaving the amount of $9,200 for which this vote is required.\n\nThe vote was agreed to.",

        "content_text": "# The Slave Market News\n## April, 1933\n\n### What We Think\n#### Women Traffic in and Children in the East\n\nThe Commission of Enquiry into Traffic in Women and Children in the East has now issued its Report to the League of Nations. The price is 16 shillings, and British people can obtain copies from the authorised agents, George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 40 Museum-street, London, W.C.1. The Travelling Commission started their investigations, sailing from Marseilles on October 9th, 1930, and concluded their itinerary on March 16th, 1932, after visiting many of the principal centres in the Far East. A debt of gratitude is due to the members of the Travelling Commission for the care and labour shown in making their investigations and for compiling this voluminous report. It consists of 527 pages of vital information concerning the widespread traffic in human flesh and blood that prevails to-day. The report is appallingly tragic in its revelations.\n\nMost countries in the Far East or Near East have been willing to assist the Commission, and reveal something of the terrible conditions of helpless women and children bartered for gain. The rest of the East has offered a sufficiently wide scope for the labours of the Travelling Commission. We wish it were possible in these days for the Daily Press, forever seeking new worlds of sensation to conquer, to delve into this Report and give the facts to the world. Streamer headlines dealing with the manner in which Chinese children are bought and sold in China might not be good politics, but they would make a bit of a stir in Britain. The widespread traffic in girls in Japan might not be a subject calculated to please, but it might stir Western women to some form of concerted action. The Report pleads for the support of public opinion, but how that public opinion is to be enlightened remains to be discovered.\n\nThe significant and awful fact that is forced upon one by reading the lines, and between the lines, of this stupendous volume is that slavery of women and girls is looked upon as being of another order to slavery of men. The god of lust reigns and rules in the dark habitations, and helpless women and children are bartered in multitudes to satisfy the sensuality of men. That is the plain and unmistakable fact that will impress itself upon all who will obtain this Report and read. We would ask that all men and women of goodwill who are in any way able to influence public opinion would obtain a copy.\n\nThe Commission visited Port Said, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Beirout, Damascus, Bagdad, Teheran, Bushire, Karachi, Bombay, Colombo, Pondicherry, Madras, Deli, Calcutta, Rangoon, Penang, Port Swettenham, Kuala Lumpur, Johore, Bangkok, Pnom Penh, Saigon-Cholon, Batavia, Semarang, Surabaya, Macassar, Manila, Turane, Hanoi, Haiphong, Macao, Canton, Hongkong, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Nanking, Shanghai, Chefoo, Port Arthur, Tientsin, Pekin, Dairen, Moukden, Harbin, Anting, Keijo, Fusan, Nagasaki, Shimonoseki, Osaka, Kobe, Kioto, Yokohama, and Tokio. As one glances at the information provided, the prayer of the Psalmist arises instinctively: \"O let the sorrowful sighing of the prisoners come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power, preserve Thou those that are appointed to die.\"\n\n### Slavery Centenary Celebrations\n\nWe understand that the Methodist Conference has passed a resolution that all her ministers shall preach on the slavery question on the last Sunday in July next. That is an encouraging sign and indicates that one of the great Christian churches is awakening to a sense of responsibility in the matter of slave-liberation. We feel, however, that there must be much perplexity to the minds of those who are asked to speak on this subject. Vast is the scope of enquiry and realm of investigation. We feel strongly, too, that very few are able to speak with knowledge concerning the extent and nature of slavery that is rampant to-day. The danger is that the Slavery Centenary celebrations may convey to a large number of people the impression that things are much better than they are. To some of us, it seems a mockery to celebrate the Centenary of Slave Abolition under the British flag if due prominence is not given to the fact that there is still considerable slavery under the British flag.\n\nLet the facts be made known concerning Hong Kong. Let those who are under the impression that there is no slavery under the British flag read the report of the League of Nations' Commission to which we have already referred. It is not a difficult matter to search out the names of British possessions and read what is said concerning them. We write these few observations with real grief. How can we pat ourselves on the back, metaphorically, for that which our forefathers have done if we refrain from following their lead? This is not a time for soft words and pious phrases, but for plain truth. \"From the liberality that says everybody is right, from the charity which forbids us to say that anybody is wrong, from the peace which is bought at the expense of truth, may the good Lord deliver us.\"\n\n### Christian Assyrians Find a Refuge\n\nAt the time of the Mosul Boundary dispute, we ventured to observe that there was a real danger to the Christian communities in Irak if ever the British left that country. The reports of General Laidoner sent out by the League of Nations at the time were plain evidence that massacre and enslavement had taken place just previously. Irak has now become a member of the League, and the British have all but gone. The Assyrians, with the Armenians, were our faithful allies at the time of the Great War, but it has been left to Persia to offer this gallant little nation a refuge. The Assyrian Christians are fearful of their future security in Irak, so they are trekking to Persia, where they are assured security from persecution.\n\nAt Geneva, in 1924, we heard a passionate appeal by their youthful spokesman. It was a plea to the representatives of the Near East Conference to urge their need for security. The Western nations have, however, been unable to find them a place of sanctuary. Persia welcomes them. Our Armenian Allies were left to their fate by the Western Nations, but found a refuge for their remnant in the Caucasus. Strange that Russia and Persia should find homes for the two most ancient Christian races. We were privileged to meet the representative of the Assyrians at Geneva in 1924 and hear his case.\n\nLike their Armenian brothers, they can sing:\n\"I will not be a heathen.\nI will not be a slave.\nIf I cannot find a Christian home,\nI'll find a Christian grave.\"\n\n### Freeing the Slaves: Sir John Simon's Remarkable Figures\n\nSir John Simon was among the speakers at a complimentary luncheon given on Tuesday in London to Mr. John H. Harris, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society, who received a knighthood in the New Year's Honours.\n\nSir John said that Mr. Harris went to the Foreign Office when and as often as he found it necessary in connection with his anti-slavery work with that degree of persistence which is necessary if you want to get through the outer covering of any Government department. Mr. Harris said that within the last 20 years, not fewer than 465,389 slaves had been liberated. The British Foreign Office, during the last 100 years, had framed and negotiated with other Powers over 650 anti-slavery treaties. It was estimated that during the same period, Great Britain had spent over £50,000,000 in police work against the slave trade on the high seas.\n\nNow, as a result of work done at Geneva during the past 10 years, that burden had been shifted from the national shoulders to those of 60 nations, who were now, by a solemn instrument, bound to undertake collectively the task of the emancipation of at least 5,000,000 slaves.\n\nGreat and beneficent has been the work of The Anti-Slavery Society, and it is in no spirit of captious criticism that we suggest that celebrating the Centenary of the Abolition of Slavery within Possessions, its speakers will deal frankly with the condition of affairs in Hong Kong, where thousands of children are still bought and sold. We also further respectfully suggest that the slavery of women should be given as much prominence as the slavery of men. Why should the so-called White Slave Traffic, or the Traffic in Women and Children, be treated on any different basis to the Red Sea Slave Traffic?\n\nEarl Buxton presided, and the Archbishop of Canterbury was amongst those present.\n\n### Slavery in the World To-day\n#### By the Rev. JOHN R. PALMER, Lit.D.\n\nSlavery! Slavery! Can it be that it exists in the world of human beings to-day? In past ages, yes, but the world then was not half civilised; nearly all nations, even of Europe, were, as far as civilisation goes, in much the same state as \"the backward races,\" so called, of the East to-day. But now we are well on in the twentieth century of Christianity! We have at least reached a state, with all our shortcomings, in which civilised, to say nothing of Christian nations, might reasonably be expected to show \"a more excellent way\" of treating those classes of the human race which are commonly regarded as its most backward representatives.\n\nIs that our aim and endeavour? Are we trying at all times and everywhere to do that, and nothing less, in the world to-day? If so, Slavery should soon be a thing of the Past. But the opposite of this is true, and has been for centuries. Although a modern writer says: \"In the Roman Empire, slavery was a recognised and regular institution... To-day Christians do not tolerate slavery.\" Would that it were so, as far as all Christian nations are concerned.\n\nBut what of the White Slave Traffic in our own and other lands, from which its victims seldom, if ever, escape? What is the awful record of it which the National Vigilance Association is able to furnish? Of young girls snatched from home and friends, ensnared by the most insidious means on the streets and elsewhere, then lost, and doomed almost hopelessly to a life of shame and suffering. And to-day it still goes on in defiance of all efforts to check the diabolical traffic, because the subtle devices of the entrepreneur prevail.\n\nThis form of Slavery for immoral purposes is responsible in London and elsewhere for the loss to home and friends of scores of decent and respectable girls every year, while in Japan many commit suicide to avoid falling a prey to this hideous thraldom.\n\nAnd it is an indisputable fact that in India, all the circumstances of the enforced conjugal relationships in which thousands of young girls, mere children, find themselves, are nothing less than Slavery. We speak of the age-long \"custom and practices of such lands and races,\" but it has been truly said that \"the deadliest form of humanity is the deadening power of custom.\" The question is, are we, as a Christian nation, doing all in our power to discourage such practices?\n\nWhat of Slavery and the Slave Trade proper? We speak of our emancipation of the slaves a century ago, and of our more recent efforts to put down various forms of slavery in different places. But what are the facts as to the number of slaves now in the world to-day? It has been estimated that there are from four to six millions, exclusive of the quarter of a million Soviet Slaves, whose condition to-day is that of \"poorly clad, badly housed, and half-starved human chattels,\" and who are \"authorised\" by corps of the Ogpu (secret police) agents, and by men like \"Rakovsky, the notorious Chekist and executioner.\" In fact, under its murderous Communist despots, almost the whole of Russia is forced labour.\n\nAt Odessa, men have been obliged to work in \"shifts\" of five days under armed sentries, with little time for sleep, and women fourteen hours a day. There is a cry of distress in such facts to which no reasonable and intelligent being can be deaf! Nor is it only the poor and working class that is oppressed and terrorised in Russia to-day, but thousands of all classes who have known both of \"life's opposite poles\" of luxury and poverty, \"the loneliness and the fellowship that exist in a generation.\"\n\nAgain, in the slow march of a hundred years or more, how little has been done by nations to put down the Slave Trade. It was condemned by the Treaty of Vienna in 1815, and our forefathers regarded past efforts as only a preliminary move to future and more complete measures of emancipation. And yet to-day there are \"still five millions of human chattels\" in the world. Well may the Archbishop of Canterbury say that Slavery is \"the open sore of the world!\"\n\nIn Abyssinia alone, there are now two millions of people bought and sold as human merchandise! Slavery still survives in Sierra Leone. In Burma (India), it is widespread over almost the whole of China. Branding on lips, face, and hands, and other cruelties, are still practised in this abominable institution, while \"hundreds of girl slaves have been seen on the march, chained together and whipped like cattle by Arabian traders.\" In Liberia, the condition of Slaves is terrible; they are often to be seen in chains and collars.\n\nThe lot of the poor African slave down all the ages has been pitiable in the extreme, while some of the worst features are manifest in the Slavery carried on in Japan. And even in Kenya, under the British flag, not only have the natives \"no legal right in their own land,\" but forced labour is widespread everywhere, which at the best is but poorly disguised Slavery. In Kenya, \"the link is snapped between the African farmer and his land. His relation to the soil is reduced almost to that of a serf to the white settler.\" No wonder that we have reason to fear, as many do, the final results of the \"Clash of Colour.\"\n\nMoreover, \"Great Britain is committed to the principle of trusteeship for the economic, moral, and social progress of the African.\" It is, therefore, up to us not to allow Slavery under our flag, but to see that, as far as possible:\n\"These things shall be! A loftier race\nThan ere the world has known shall rise,\nWith flame of freedom in their souls,\nAnd light of knowledge in their eyes.\"\n\n### Summary of the Report on the Traffic in Women and Children in the Far East\n\nThis is a useful summary of the recently published report of the Commission appointed by the League of Nations to enquire into the Traffic in Women and Children in the Far East.

S. A177 Lewis.)\n\n(a) P. S. A19 Hill.\n\nRecomm for H.K. Police Medal HKPM\n\n- 5-\n\nEXTRACT FROM RECOMMENDING OFFICER'S REPORT, AND/OR DIARY REFERENCES.\n\n89\n\n\"the station on our return we found it was being shelled. The gate in Jaffe Road was locked and the guard had taken shelter in the station so we remained outside making use of what cover we could. During a lull in the shelling we ran to the gate & called out to the guard who after a while came & opened the gate. No sooner had we got into the compound then the shelling again started and P.C. B162 Taja Singh, who had stopped behind to lock the gate, was hit in the back and legs and other parts of the body by shrapnel. P. S. A53 Brown and myself lifted him inside where Sergt. MacVey administered first aid. It was impossible to get any first aid or hospital conveyance so P. S. A53 Brown & L. S. A176 Bodie volunteered to drive him to hospital in one of the station lorries. This they did under great difficulties, the station compound & road outside were under heavy shell & mortar fire and their action is indeed worthy of award. Sergt. Brown especially was a most willing worker during the two days, 24th & 25th December, volunteering to do work under all conditions, & remaining quite calm throughout.\"\n\n(Please see Diary Entry No. 8 of 24th December) \"I cannot recollect the other members of the party who assisted Sergeants Brown & Brodie in conveying the wounded man to hospital but accept Inspector Whant's report (Paragraph X1 (b)) that Sergeants Leslie & Gordon took part.\"\n\n\"I consider any man who assisted in carrying the wounded Indian Police Constable out to the lorry is also worthy of some recognition. I cannot remember whether L. S. A177 Lewis did so but accept Inspector Whant's statement that he did. He was not so long exposed as the actual occupants of the lorry as the vehicle had to be driven through a shelled area but Lewis showed courage in doing all required of him.\"\n\nA\n\nVisit of His Excellency the Governor to Shaukiwan Dispensary on the morning of December 18th.\n\n\"The whole of King's Road had been blown to bits, no pill boxes were standing. We visited Shaukiwan Dispensary and met P. S. A19 Hill who was doing good work with the help of a useless Chinese doctor who attended spasmodically - dead, wounded and dying literally lying all over the street. There was no civilian or military personnel anywhere. The dispensary was crowded with cases. His Excellency ordered several lorries to remove wounded. His Excellency complimented Sergeant Hill.\"\n\n(Mr. Luscombe has already submitted a separate report on this direct to the Honourable Commissioner of Police.\") \n\nN.B. P. S. A19 Hill, did extremely good work in the Argyle Street Prisoners-of-war camp.",
