I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

An advertisement was inserted in \"The Times\" and \"Telegraph\", London papers; and also in local newspapers at Edinburgh and Aberdeen, making the matter generally known and inviting applications of candidates. One hundred copies of Mr Robinson's letter were printed in order to supply every inquiring candidate with accurate details of the situation in question: and various correspondence ensued. \n\nAfter communicating by letter with Dr Carpenter, P.U.S. Registrar of the University of London, and with Sir David Brewster and Prof Dr Campbell, Principals of the Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen, I was led to the positive conclusion that Mr Frederick Stewart, M.A. of the University of Aberdeen and now in the twenty-fifth year of his age, answered most fully to the required qualifications. \n\nI enclose the original letter.",

De Champeaux |  |\n| Mr. Han Hap |  |\n| Mr. Ng Choy |  |\n| Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C. |  |\n\nThe following ladies and gentlemen who had received invitations were, from various causes, unable to attend:\n\n- Bishop Burdon and Mrs. Burdon\n- Bishop Raimondi\n- Hon. H. W. Marsh, Colonial Secretary, and Mrs. Marsh\n- The Hon. I. B. Gibb\n- Colonel Moaby, U.S. Consul, Hongkong\n- Mr. Lincoln, U.S. Consul at Canton, and Mrs. Lincoln\n- Surgeon-Major Hungerford\n- Rev. R. Bayward Kidd, Colonial Chaplain, and Mrs. Kidd\n- Dr. Frederick Stewart\n- Captain Muskett, Army Pay Department\n\nThe following programme was played during dinner:\n\n1. Grand March, **David** \n2. Overture, **Absalom**, Longhurst\n3. Selection, **Das Nachtlager Kreutzer**\n4. Valse, **Kübezahll**, Flotow\n5. Selection, **in Granada**, ... Coote\n6. Polka, **Telephone**, Werner\n\nAfter the toast of **\"Her Majesty the Queen,\"** which was duly honoured in the usual way, the band playing **\"God Save the Queen,\"** His Excellency said:\n\nThe Governor of this Colony has from time to time had the privilege of welcoming, in the name of the whole community, distinguished visitors. One of the children of our Queen has been residing in this house, and my immediate predecessor entertained here a son of the Emperor of Russia. But I believe the young princes would be themselves among the first to say that the man whose health I am now about to propose, is the most illustrious guest that ever sat at this table. I do not refer so much to the military achievements which will for ever rank the name of Ulysses Grant with those of Washington, Wellington, and Napoleon, but to those other achievements, indicated by Lord Beaconsfield, when he truly said that the future of civilization is indissolubly bound up in the future of the United States - those other achievements, accomplished by the toleration, resolute strength, and love of justice of the statesman, when the sword of the soldier was laid aside.\n\nTwo years have gone since he first saw, at Yok harbour, the shores of the British Empire. During that time he has visited the Old World, breathed the Scotch air of his ancestors, and passed on from point to point of Queen Victoria's dominions; and now, on leaving this Island and crossing the Pacific to his own home, he is about to part with that Empire throughout the whole of which he has been received with one long ovation of respect and affection. As the Queen's representative, and in the name of every one in this Colony, I thank him for giving us this opportunity of showing him that we all appreciate his character and career.\n\nWill you forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, if I presume to add that there are one or two personal reasons also why it affords me peculiar pleasure to see General Grant at my table. During the whole of those ever-memorable years, from the day when he drilled his company of volunteers at Galena, to the capture of Richmond and the surrender of the rebel army, I was in a small way mixed up in public affairs in England, as a member of that assembly the power of which, for good or evil, is not confined within the bounds of England's Sovereignty. It is now a matter of history that in both Houses of the British Parliament there were friends and foes of Freedom, but we may recall with pride the fact that two men so diverse in person and disposition and party relations as John Bright and Benjamin Disraeli, were sagacious enough to know that the honour of their own Country and the welfare of the World were associated with the cause for which Ulysses Grant was contending.\n\nWhilst Bright was repairing the blunders of one or two eminent men of the Liberal party, the great Conservative Chief was, to my own personal knowledge, labouring night and day to counteract unreasoning prejudice amongst his own followers, and it is ever to me a source of intense satisfaction that, though in a very humble way no doubt, I was one of those members of the House of Commons who loyally supported his prudent and patriotic policy.\n\nBut this is not the only personal reason that is present to my mind to-night. I am a citizen of Cork. I come from that corner of the Old World, nearest, and not less dear, to the United States; and on behalf of my fellow citizens I now assure General Grant that in no part of the civilized globe would he have received a heartier welcome, if he had honoured us with a visit, than in my native city.\n\nI now invite you to drink his health, and will ask you not to forget the charming lady at my right, and her family; for, within the last few minutes, a telegram has reached them from London, announcing the birth of a grand-child, so that General Grant, though still comparatively a young man, younger indeed to-day than Washington when he first became President, has, as a grandfather, added another little link to unite the two countries together. I give you, with all my heart, the health of General Grant.\n\nGeneral Grant, in reply, said:\n\nI am very grateful to you for your kind address, to which I would be happy to respond, but there is so much personal and flattering to myself that I find it impossible. It is only a continuance of the kindness that I have... \n\nPage 334",

Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $81.28, being arrears of pay for 1884 due to Inspector LINDSAY, who has just returned from leave and has accepted the increase of pay under the new Regulations as to term of service for pension and remittances to England.\n\nThe Committee find the amount to be in accordance with the Regulations, and recommend that the sum be voted.",

Porter.\n\nSt. Andrew's Hall was decorated with festoons of green leaves, flags, and pot plants, and made to look bright and pretty, and three long tables were set out, taking almost the entire length of the room, with a cross table at the head, in the centre of which sat the Chairman, with a Vice-Chairman at the head of each side table, on either hand, and another at the foot of each of the three tables.\n\nSt. George's Hall was also neatly decorated, the doors being curtained with flags, and ferns, moss, and pot plants being used with good effect. A capital dancing floor was prepared. The ante-room was decorated in the same way, and a portion of the Chamber of Commerce room was partitioned off and a refreshment buffet established there.\n\nThe entrance hall and staircase were also very effectively decorated with pot plants and wreaths of green leaves, presenting a very pleasing appearance.\n\nThe banquet commenced at 7.15 o'clock p.m., the Band playing \"The Roast Beef of Old England.\" The following were the after-dinner speeches:-\n\n## Speech of the Chief Justice\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The first toast on the list for this evening is the usual loyal toast, the health of Her Majesty the Queen. I ask you to join me in drinking that toast.\n\nThe toast was drunk upstanding, with three cheers.\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The next toast on the list is the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\nThe toast was drunk with similar honours. The Band- \"God Bless the Prince of Wales.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose is the health of His Excellency the Governor. (Applause). We are met together on this occasion, as you all know, in compliment to his Excellency the Governor, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell publicly, as he is shortly about to depart from us, in all probability never to return. It is now nearly three years since he first assumed the government of this Colony. He came to us at a somewhat critical period of our history, no novice in the management of affairs, but as an old and tried Governor, with great experience in the conduct of business, having successfully governed some of the most important colonies in the British empire-colonies which have already made a place in history and which are undoubtedly destined to take a foremost place among the nations of the world. (Cheers). For his services before he came amongst us, he had already received from the hands of Her Majesty one of the highest rewards that it is usual to bestow for distinguished public service, viz., the Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. (Applause).\n\nHis services to this community have been recognized on more than one occasion, and only recently in their farewell address by the Legislative Council-(applause)-body which, comprising as it does nearly all the members of the Executive Council in addition to some of the leading members of the general community, has naturally been brought into more intimate relationships with the Governor than any other portion of the public and is best able to judge of their value. (Hear, hear).\n\nIt would ill become me on the present occasion and in the present assembly, which is not met together for political purposes, and especially in my position, to enter into any question having any bearing upon politics. (Hear, hear). This I can say for myself that I know that His Excellency has always taken a very great interest in everything that he considered was for the best interest of the community-(applause)-and I think I can take it upon myself in the name of all who are present to assure the Governor in similar language to that used by the Legislative Council in its farewell address, that his administration will always be associated in our minds with much personal kindness, consideration, and hospitality (cheers)-a hospitality which I may observe owed a great portion of its charm to the deserved popularity of Lady Bowen and her daughters in the first portion of His Excellency's administration, a hospitality which was not slackened during their necessary but regretted absence, and which has again during the last few months been brightened by the presence of one of His Excellency's daughters and of his only son. (Renewed and prolonged applause).\n\nI am sure also that we all sympathize with the Governor in the prospect of his approaching retirement from public life. It will undoubtedly be a trial to him to give up the active pursuits in which he has been hitherto engaged, the pleasures as well as the anxieties of public life, and the degree of state to which he has been accustomed, for the comparative simplicity and retirement of private life. We have all of us, however, to look forward to relinquishing the active pursuits of life, but there is some consolation for us all if we are able to carry with us in our retirement the assurance that in the days of our activity we faithfully endeavoured to perform our various duties to the best of our ability. (Applause).\n\nBut the Governor, with his experience, need not, unless he pleases, live merely a life of lettered ease, and there are more useful services in which he can be engaged than even in administering the affairs of an important Colony such as this. There has been of late a growing tendency both in the mother country and in the Colonies to tighten and strengthen the bonds of union now existing between them-(applause)-and there has also been a growing and strong desire to enter into closer relationship between ourselves and our great kindred nation. (Hear, hear).\n\nNext year will be an eventful year in this respect. The new buildings of The Royal Colonial Institute will be opened-a Society of which Sir George Bowen has long been a member-(applause)-and which, together with its off-shoot, the Empire Club, has done so much to bring Colonial questions prominently forward before the public at home. Leading colonists from all parts of the Empire will take part in the Colonial Exhibition, to which we are about sending our modest contribution, including many from Colonies over which Sir George Bowen has had the honour during his long career of having been appointed Governor.\n\nThere will also be the American Exhibition of Inventions, which will attract to London many of the leading citizens of the United States, and to welcome whom a Council consisting of most of the leading men in the British possessions, and amongst whom I have no doubt Sir George Bowen's name is already to be found, has been formed by American residents in London and promoters of the Exhibition, avowedly for the purpose of strengthening the friendly relationships between the great English-speaking nations who have one language and one literature in common, whose great men and our great men, and whose noble women and our noble women are the same-(applause)-and who all inherit the glorious deeds and love of liberty of our ancestors. (Renewed applause).\n\nAnd to crown all, it will be the jubilee year of our Most Gracious Sovereign Her Majesty the Queen. (Loud cheers). The movements which have commenced cannot fail to be accelerated by these events, and His Excellency will no doubt be called upon to take an active part in them, and if, as the result of the consultations and deliberations which are even now taking place, any satisfactory measures can be discovered which will have the effect of bringing Great Britain and Ireland, their colonies and dependencies into closer union, especially if in addition we and our kindred nation, the Great Republic of the United States of America (loud applause)-the citizens of whom I believe venerate and respect our Queen in almost if not in quite the same degree as we do ourselves (applause)-could be brought closer and more unitedly together, it would be of so great a service to the world at large as to reflect the highest amount of credit and honour on all concerned in bringing it about. (Hear, hear).\n\nSuch a union would hold out no menace to foreign powers but would, I should hope, have a tendency to hasten the period when reason and not force, right and not might, shall prevail among all the nations of the earth. (Cheers).\n\nIn conclusion, I may say I know that I can safely assure the Governor of the best wishes of you all (hear, hear and cheers)-that he may have a safe and pleasant voyage home-that he may thoroughly enjoy himself during his stay in that old and interesting country which he purposes visiting on his way-(hear, hear)-that he may have a happy meeting with the remainder of his family in England (applause)-and, if so be that he never returns to us again, we trust that he will continue to take the same kindly interest in the welfare of the Colony that he has taken since the first day he came among us-(hear, hear)-and that, again using similar language to that contained in the address before referred to, we hope that he may long enjoy the rest earned by more than a quarter of a century's service and that his unequalled experience may be found of service in the Councils of the Empire. (Cheers).\n\nI have now the great pleasure of proposing the health of His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, and to ask you to unite with me in wishing him all happiness, prosperity, and success in his future career. (Loud cheers).\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with musical honours and three times three.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, who was received with prolonged and most enthusiastic applause, said- Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I thank His Honour the Chief Justice for the flattering and eloquent speech in which he has just proposed my health-a speech, I may add, which derives additional weight and significance from his own high office and character, which are most fully appreciated throughout this Colony. (Applause).\n\nPage 150\nPage 151",

Keswick, pursuant to notice, asked the following question: difference in interpretation having been given to the law regulating the survey of coppered vessels since April, 1884, and a practice having been introduced since that date, which is at variance with that which was followed for at least as far back as 1879, will His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government state why the change has been made, and a new, and, it is believed, unnecessary procedure adopted? \n\nThe Honourable the Attorney General replied. \n\nThe Honourable W.

H. MARSH, \nAdministering the Government. \n\n**LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL No. 17.** \n\n**WEDNESDAY, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1886.** \n\n**PRESENT:** \n\nHIS EXCELLENCY WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G., \nAdministering the Government in the absence of His Excellency SIR GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN, G.C.M.G. \n\nHis Honour the Chief Justice, (SIR GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Knt.) \nThe Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary, (FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D.) \nThe Attorney General, (EDWARD LOUGHLIN O'MALLEY.) \nThe Colonial Treasurer, (ALFRED LISTER.) \nThe Surveyor General, (JOHN MACNEILE PRICE.) \nPHINEAS RYRIE. \nWILLIAM KESWICK, \nTHOMAS JACKSON. \nFREDERICK DAVID SASSOON. \nWONG SHING. \n\nThe Council met pursuant to adjournment. \n\nThe Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 10th instant, were read and confirmed. \n\n**VOTES REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.**--Read the following Minutes by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:--- \n\nW. H. MARSH. \n\n(1.) The Officer Administering the Government lays before the Council a despatch which he has just received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the defences of Hongkong. \n\nIt will be remembered that the original proposals sanctioned by the War Office embraced works the estimated cost of which was £55,625, whilst the corresponding armament was to cost only £37,500. \n\nIt was stated in the despatch of Lord DERBY of the 17th September, 1884, which was laid before the Council, that Her Majesty's Government had arrived at the decision that the Colony of Hongkong should defray only the cost of the necessary works, the Imperial Government contributing the armament. The Council was accordingly asked by Sir GEORGE BOWEN, on the 10th December, 1884, to vote the sum of £55,625 required for the construction of these works. \n\nBefore agreeing to vote the sum required for the construction of the works there was considerable discussion in the Finance Committee, owing to an impression that the armament which was to be sent out was altogether inadequate, and the vote was passed with the understanding \"that the armament to be provided by the Imperial Government would be of the best and latest pattern of breech-loading ordnance and capable of resisting attacks by the heaviest modern ironclads.\" \n\nSir GEORGE BOWEN did not fail to represent strongly on several occasions the wish of the community that Hongkong should be properly defended, and Generals SARGENT and CAMERON have supported his recommendations with all the weight of their long professional experience. \n\nThe result of these recommendations has been that the scheme of defence has been very carefully re-considered. Instead of three new works and remounting guns in existing works, the new scheme of defence includes four new works and three new sites for single heavy guns, and, whilst omitting the works originally proposed at Quarry Bay, it substitutes a complete defence of the Ly-e Mun Channel. The weight and power of the guns have been so greatly increased that much more massive and costly foundations and emplacements have to be provided for them. An idea of the difference in the guns now proposed from those originally contemplated may be gathered from the revised estimate of cost of the armaments, which, instead of being £37,500, will now amount to £118,500.",

Read a Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government recommending an additional vote of £60,375 towards the Defences of the Colony.\n\nRead also the Secretary of State's Despatch and its enclosure on the subject.\n\nThe Committee, after deliberation, recommend that, before considering the matter further, it would be desirable to obtain the following information from the Military Authorities :—\n\n(1.) How they have arrived at the Estimate now submitted, and whether it is likely to be final.\n\n(2.) Whether it is possible to get a statement shewing the total expenditure annually, on fortifications, since the commencement of the Colony.\n\n(3.) Whether the work is done by contract, or by hired labour, or by both combined.\n\nThe Committee desire it to be clearly explained to the Military Authorities that these particulars are not asked for with a view to finding fault with the expenditure under this head, but that as representing the tax-payers, the Committee consider it necessary to obtain all the information procurable; which information will be treated as confidential.\n\nThe Committee adjourn sine die.\n\nRead and confirmed this 3rd day of March, 1886.\n\nARATHOON SETU,\n\nClerk of Councils.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\n\nChairman.\n\nPage 150\n\nPage 151",

The only result of the rejection of this vote last year has been that the work has been performed gratuitously, but performed it has to be, and of course it will not be done gratis for ever.\n\nWe are now carrying on Money Order relations practically with all the world. The work has enormously increased, and is more than one Officer can reasonably be expected to attend to. I have recently had my attention unpleasantly called by other Offices to arrears in our Money Order work, but I am satisfied that the Superintendent of the Office has been working even beyond his strength to keep everything up to date. Should his health break down there is absolutely nobody to carry on the duties. He cannot go away for a single day, hardly for an hour. This state of things will lead to a discreditable block and an outcry from the public unless proper assistance can be provided.\n\nThe only other increase I have to suggest is that of $1 a month to each of two deserving Chinese at Amoy. Their present pay is only $6 a month and they are long-service men who cannot be done without. I know that the Agent at Amoy has been supplementing their salaries from his own funds, a state of things which speaks for itself.\"\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 4th May, 1886.\n\nAfter hearing some explanations from the Treasurer, the Committee recommend that the sums be voted.\n\nThe Committee then adjourn sine die.\n\nRead and confirmed this 7th day of May, 1886.\n\nARATHOON SETH\n\nClerk of Councils.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\n\nChairman.",

        "content_text": "28th May, 1886.\n\nEnclosure 2\n\nPRESENTATION OF CERTIFICATES\n\n10 DR MYERS' STUDENTS. This forenoon, in the Government Central School, H. E. the Acting Governor (Hon. W. H. Marsh) presented Li Tsun Fan and Chun Chan Kai, the two Chinese who have been receiving a medical training for the past two years at Takao from Dr Wykeham Myers and who have just passed a very creditable examination in this Colony, with certificates of their efficiency.\n\nThe presentation took place in the main classroom of the school in the presence of as many boys as could be accommodated with seats, and among those who were present as visitors were:-- Hon. F. Stewart, Acting Colonial Secretary, Hon. Wong Shing, Dr P. B. C. Ayres, Colonial Surgeon; Dr P. Manson, Dr Young, Rev. Dr Chalmers, Dr Ho Kai, Staff-Surgeon Preston, R. N., Dr Christie, R. N., Mr James Hart, Commissioner of I. C. M. Customs, Mr J. H. Boott, Mr J. H. Cox, Rev. J. C. Edge, Dr E. J. Eitel, Government Inspector of Schools, Mr Bateson Wright, M. A., and the other Masters of the Central School. There were also present a number of influential Chinese gentlemen.\n\nThe proceedings were commenced by His Excellency calling upon Dr Myers.\n\nDr Myers (who was in his academic robes) then said:--Your Excellency, before proceeding to the main object of today's gathering, I would ask you to allow me, as briefly as possible, to run over the scheme that has led to our meeting. Several years ago, in 1878, it was my privilege and honour to have to take charge of the David Manson Memorial Hospital at Takao, Formosa,--an hospital just then erected in memory of our brethren who, during the too short time he was privileged to be amongst us, showed himself so devoted to his profession, so generous a philanthropist and thoroughly good man, that when he was suddenly cut off his admirers and friends at the ports of Foochow, Takao, and Amoy--in fact at the two latter ports nearly all the residents--determined to erect this hospital.\n\nIt fell to my lot to take charge of it, and I was then, for the first time, brought more directly into contact with the system of hospital relief which has been prevailing there for many years. I need not remind Your Excellency of the great need there is in China for something of this kind, and the utter absence of any means for relieving bodily suffering. Those who profess to treat disease and sickness do so on grounds which, to say the least, must be very disappointing, not so much through their own fault as through want of knowledge of the subject they profess to undertake.\n\nMy missionary colleagues, to whom I am greatly indebted not only in this scheme for the sympathy and assistance they have at all times given me but before for the opportunities they gave me of observing their work, have for many years acted to the best of their ability on a system of training which produces hospital assistants and nurses. It was impossible for them, however, in the limited time at their disposal to give the amount of training necessary for a thorough understanding of medicine.\n\nAnother thing, as Your Excellency is aware, the medical literature in the Chinese language is necessarily very limited, and in the study of a profession like ours one wants to have at his command a large and varied field of literature, though the splendid work of Kerr, Dudgeon, and Osgood have allowed all that few individuals can accomplish.\n\nTherefore it seemed to me necessary that any Chinese students should understand a foreign language. Of course, in my case, I naturally preferred English; and it then struck me that I should obtain English-speaking lads who would come and bind themselves to study for a certain time. I also thought that I might approximate a scheme somewhat similar to that which obtains at the various medical schools in Europe.\n\nI tried at first to teach English myself, but I soon found that this was too long if not a too difficult task. I then applied to Sir George Phillippo, who was good enough not only to interest himself but kindly enlisted the sympathy of Dr Stewart, who, in his turn, was good enough to get Mr Wright on our side; and these gentlemen in placing the matter before the School asked for volunteers, when two came forward and arrived at Formosa to study with me.\n\nThey have been studying during the past two years anatomy, physiology, elementary surgery, and inorganic chemistry. The principle I have gone on was to ground them thoroughly in these subjects; and knowing the tendency of Chinese, indeed of everyone, to be attracted by clinical work perhaps to the loss of the more important principles on which they work, I have scrupulously kept them out of the hospital, save to see me operate on one or two occasions. They have not been admitted to study in the hospital. Next year I trust they will be equally closely applied to the hospital. I venture to think that by insisting upon their passing through this primary course of instruction they will be more fitted for the due comprehension of bed-side work--I propose therefore making that a sine qua non.\n\nWell, these lads came to study and they have studied hard. Of course they have a considerable difficulty in studying in China. As Your Excellency is aware dissection of the dead is utterly denied, and it would be worse than wrong to attempt anything of the sort. Hitherto this want has been a great stumbling-block in medical education in China.\n\nI applied, however, to my colleagues and friends at home and elsewhere for assistance to get over this great obstacle, and they were good enough to assist me in a way not otherwise available. I have no doubt Your Excellency has seen the models which the French make of the human body. Except, of course, in the touch of the tissue, I think these are as perfect as may be, and they show the minutest twig of the nerve or artery, I might even say fibre of muscle. There has been some misunderstanding on this subject--I mean among professional persons--I venture to show an arm taken from one of these models. [Dr Myers here showed a model of an arm and pointed out that everything was distinctly shown and that the various muscles and parts could be dissected and separated.]\n\nFor myself I think that the arm you see before you is as life-like, or rather as realistic as it is possible to make it. We have besides a complete skeleton and the books and plates which are necessary for teaching these subjects. With these subjects before them the lads applied themselves well, and with the result that I felt justified after a time in venturing to come down here and appeal to my brethren, who rallied round me in a way that calls for my highest acknowledgments.\n\nAs Your Excellency no doubt knows it is not difficult to excite medical men to thoroughness in action and summariness in carrying out that which advances the profession, or I might say advances science. I have been fortunate, I feel justified in saying, in obtaining as strong and representative a board from our profession as we can have, under the presidency of the Principal Medical Officer, and a board which combined members of the profession who...",

        "content_text": "are leaders in their different branches. I was also fortunate in having on that very board a native of the country we seek to benefit; I need scarcely allude to Dr Ho Kai. He is the example, he is the end which I dare not hope to attain. No one single individual can do that, but that is the end I hope to get to, and with such a bright example before them the lads can come sufficiently close to it for all practical purposes. The theory of my scheme is that the candidates shall present themselves before such a board as I have spoken of, on the first subjects, viz.: anatomy, physiology, elementary surgery and elementary chemistry. They must study these for two years before attempting an examination and these studies must be carried on in a regular manner. Again I would propose that the boys must have studied some foreign tongue prior to going to hospital at this or some other school of the same kind and gone through a proper curriculum so as to thoroughly understand the English or any other western language. My lads understand English so far as reading goes, but I have found a difficulty with regard to their speaking, and I have recognised the kindness and forbearance with which my brethren on the Board have overcome that difficulty. These lads having come here now, I propose that at the end of the next two years they shall go to Shanghai. My object in separating the examining centres is to make the examinations as distinct and thorough as possible, and held by persons having nothing to do with each other. Having passed the final board they will be entitled to get certificates, but previous to that, these certificates shall be held in the custody of the hospital. Your Excellency will observe that precautions have been taken to prevent fraud. The candidate's photograph will be attached to the certificate, which will also give the names of the candidates and the districts to which they belong, and persons requesting information will be supplied with it in confidence. The certificate will also be signed by the candidate, and stamped with his thumb mark, which, as I have no doubt Your Excellency knows is the surest mark of identity, as never varies and as no two men have the same mark. With these precautions a similar certificate could not well be forged. They receive this, however, after the course is completed. On this occasion I ask Your Excellency to give them a certificate of their having passed the first half and also to hand them the diploma, which is handed back to the custody of the Hospital to be held until they pass their second degree. I don't know that I need trouble Your Excellency to remember that in however small a way we start such an institution as this, we are likely to cement, on very lasting grounds, the good will and good feeling with our neighbours on the mainland. Men who come professing as their only right to appreciation a general desire to relieve suffering must effect this; and, of course, while educating these lads or similar ones, first at a school like this and then afterwards at a medical institution they must have associated sufficiently with westerns to see the advantages of their society, and I think they will thus feel so kindly towards us that on any opportunity occurring they will do all that within them lies to show the benefits of western science. I only hope that my young friends here to-day will think over these things, and if they wish to advance in that branch of science or any other, they will consider the advantages offered to them. I cannot leave the subject without pointing out my indebtedness to the system adopted by Dr. Stewart, Mr Wright, and Mr Falconer. I mention these names because they are powers with which I have been able to move my lads to everything. My part has been, so to speak, a light one. The ground had been carefully prepared, and the real labour and mental discipline which were necessary to enable them to acquire the difficult subjects in the profession on which they have been examined, has been acquired in this institution. In the hope that some day this may extend, or that some scheme like it may expand here or in China, I venture to ask Your Excellency to keep a copy of this certificate as a memento of the kindness you have shown us to-day in connection with our hospital. I cannot adequately express the gratitude I feel towards you for the honour you have done me and my boys on this occasion.\n\nDr Myers then called up his students, remarking that Li had obtained 72.5 per cent of marks on the whole examination, and that Chan had obtained 75 per cent.\n\nHis Excellency then presented the certificates, and in doing so congratulated the students upon the honour which they had gained. He trusted they would continue to study with equal diligence during the next two years.\n\nHis Excellency then said-I may say that I feel very much indebted to Dr Myers for the interesting account he has given of the medical school attached to the David Manson Memorial Hospital at Takao, I feel convinced that this institution, under the able management of Dr Myers and with the deep interest he takes in the subject, will meet with great success, and I hope it will be the means of introducing a great improvement in the study of medicine in the neighbouring Empire of China. I feel very much obliged to you for having asked me to-day to give away these certificates which have just been won after examination by the pupils here before me. There could not have been a better place selected for the delivery of these certificates than the Government Central School, where both these students commenced their education. I trust the example they have set will encourage others among those present to come forward and volunteer. It must be gratifying to Dr Stewart, Mr Wright and Mr Falconer to hear the terms in which they have been spoken of to-day and to think they have contributed so much towards the success of these students. I hope the day will come when the Tung Wah Hospital in this city will be under the care of medically-trained Chinese who have been educated at this School and gone through a medical course. I am sure the Tung Wah Hospital will be of much more practical utility when that happens than it is now. However, I have heard that that illustrious statesman Li Hung Chung is deeply impressed with the superiority of medical instruction given on Western principles to that which they have in China, and I feel no doubt that he will give every encouragement in his power to Chinese who have passed a final and satisfactory examination in the Takao Hospital. I feel very much obliged for the inscription you have handed to me, which I will keep with great interest. I assure you you have reason to be gratified at the progress made by these students, and I hope you will have more soon. (Applause.)\n\nDr Myers again thanked His Excellency, and the proceedings terminated.\n\nThree cheers were given for His Excellency as he left the room.\n\nAt the request of Dr Myers, Mr Wright granted the scholars a half holiday, and then the boys gave three cheers for Dr Myers and three for his students.\n\nThe certificates given to the students are contained in neat lacquer-ware boxes, with a silver plate affixed, bearing the following inscription: Fac-simile diploma from: Manson Memorial Hospital, Formosa. Certificate for first half. Presented by His Excellency the Acting Governor of Hong Kong to successful candidates, May 28, 1886.\n\n181",

H. MARSH.\n\nBefore bringing before the Executive Council the resolution proposed yesterday by the Finance Committee, which resolution involves the serious question whether the practice of many years past is to be now suddenly changed, I wish that question to be considered at a full meeting of the Finance Committee, as I am afraid that the resolution is far from expressing the views of the majority of the Members. I request the Finance Committee therefore to meet again on Tuesday next, the 20th instant, at 4 P.M., when I trust that all the Members will find it convenient to attend, and will consider the proposition made by the Honourable A. P. McEwen or any other that may be made in lieu thereof.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 16th July, 1886.\n\nThe Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 15th instant, are read and confirmed.\n\n(1.) Read the following Despatches in connection with the first formation in this Colony of the Finance Committee:-\n\nC. O. Despatch, No. 5, of 8th January, 1870.\n\nGovernor's Despatch, No. 68, of 1st August, 1872.\n\nC. O. Despatch, No. 145, of 8th October, 1872.\n\nRead also extract from Governor's Speech of 19th October, 1878, and extract from Secretary of State's Despatch, No. 42, of 8th May, 1879.\n\nRead also the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government :-\n\nW. H. MARSH.\n\nI think that the Honourable Member who made the motion in Finance Committee on the 15th instant, that its meetings should be held with open doors, has mistaken the object of the Finance Committee.\n\n2. The object of the Finance Committee, as also of the Committees of Laws and of Public Works, is as stated in the opening Speech of Sir GEORGE BOWEN, on 28th February, 1884, \"to examine, in the first instance, the details of every proposed vote and measure.\" It is with the view of saving much valuable time in Council that these Committees were appointed here, as in other Crown Colonies. They perform precisely the same functions that Board Committees do for Banks and Public Companies, and are, as far as my knowledge extends, never held in public. In Mauritius, from which Colony the practice was first borrowed as far back as 1872 by Hongkong, the system has worked admirably for over thirty years, and the meetings are never held with open doors.\n\n3. In one point, however, the practice in Mauritius differs from that of Hongkong, and I have long thought that the Mauritius practice might be introduced here.

MARSH.\n\nThe objections raised in 1883 by the Military Authorities to the erection on Mount Gough of a permanent building as a Police Station have been withdrawn on the understanding\n\n1. That the Police Station is to be built on a plan to be approved by the Commanding Royal Engineer so that it may be used, in case of need, as barracks for soldiers to defend the redoubt which will be constructed;\n\n2. That if the Station is permanently taken over at any future time by the Military\n\nthe cost will be reimbursed to the Civil Government.\n\nI have therefore to ask the Council to vote the money necessary to construct barracks for the Police at Mount Gough in the place of the temporary thatched-shed, as soon as the hot season is over. The estimate for this work is $17,000. For this sum quarters will be provided for 1 married Officer or Sergeant, 6 Europeans, 6 Sikhs, and 6 Chinese. As the force required to be on duty at this Station is: 4 Europeans, 4 Sikhs, and 4 Chinese, there will be room for 2 convalescents of each class, and the Station will serve at the same time the purposes of a Sanitarium for the Police.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 22nd September, 1886.\n\nThe Chairman states that this Minute will be laid before the Legislative Council in due course.\n\nEXCESS OF THE ESTIMATES FOR 1886.\n\nMiscellaneous Services.\n\n(3.) Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:\n\nW. H.

The Surveyor General reports with reference to the Minute of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, dated the 16th instant, respecting a vote for $200 for repairs to the Police Rifle Range at Kowloon, that he has funds on hand for the work and that the work will be proceeded with at once.\n\nIn connection with this question Mr. MacEwen enquires whether any separate vote was taken to fit the place for the use of the Volunteers.\n\nThe Chairman says that he is unable at this moment to reply to the inquiry, but that the papers will be looked up.\n\n(2.)

This year, however, this practice has been deviated from, and the alternative adopted of seeing how far the ordinary votes for Public Works could be made to meet this extraordinary demand, leaving the balance only, which could not be met from ordinary sources, to be voted as Extraordinary Expenditure.",

In spite of the numerous cases of Malarial Fever in the Colony, I am happy to be able to report, that the health of the scholars, in the past year, was quite up to the average, which is a matter for congratulation as our boys come from every part of the town from East to West Point.\n\n5. In April last two of our old scholars Messrs. CHAN CHING-KAI and LI TSUN-FAN were brought to the Colony by Dr. METERS, Superintendent of the \"David Manson Memorial Hospital, Takow in the island of Formosa; under whose instruction, they had been studying for two years, for the profession of European medicine. They underwent a preliminary examination in Materia Medica, Anatomy, Surgery, &c., by a Board composed of Representative Medical Practitioners in the Colony; and received very satisfactory certificates which inscribed on vellum were publicly presented by His Excellency in the Hall of this School.\n\n6. Our Senior Pupil Teacher, Mr. Lo Kir, was a candidate for the Government Scholarship: which was not awarded this year as neither candidate obtained the necessary number of marks. \"I take, however, this opportunity of recording my sense of the great benefits Lo Kir has derived from the course of study; as, too often, the acquirement of the scholarship and the residence in England are the only results that competitors appreciate; whereas, it is not too much to say, that by far the greatest benefits, derived from the establishment of the Scholarship, will always be enjoyed by the unsuccessful candidates, for their number, if this valuable Scholarship were properly contested, must naturally exceed the few distinguished successful Scholars.\n\n7. At the suggestion of Mr. BATEMAN, Head Master of the Hongkong Public School, Hongkong has been made a centre of the Cambridge Local Examination. The first examination was held in December, and though the results cannot be here before May, and I have no reason to be sanguine of their nature, I can already see the benefit of the extra study on our six candidates; five of whom entered for the Junior, and the other for the Senior Examination. It is also worthy of note, as a sign of the interest taken by Chinese parents in their sons' education, that, in no case, was any demur made about paying the seven dollars Entrance Fee.\n\n8. This year, I have instituted a Boys' Self-Supporting Lending Library. Money was advanced to procure books from England. A varied selection of Books for Boys, Novels, Works of History, Travel and Biography was made; a committee of the six senior boys was formed to control the Library, which was opened about the middle of October. The subscription was put at ten cents a month, and we have had an average of no less than 74 boys, mostly Chinese, subscribers monthly. We may expect great results in English Composition and in the acquirement of Colloquial English, when our boys find pleasure, in reading English Standard Authors, and in making acquaintance with the customs and conversation of every day English life, as represented in our leading novels.\n\n9. Six pupil teachers have been articled for a period of three years, with a security of one hundred dollars each, to provide the six additional Chinese Assistants that will be required in the New School.\n\n10. It was with considerable joy that all masters, boys, and friends of the School read His Excellency's statement at the opening of the Session of the Legislative Council, that the New School would be opened early in 1888. Two-thirds of the walls are already raised, and it is most earnestly to be desired, that no stone should be left unturned to admit of the new building being occupied after Chinese New Year, at the end of February, or early in March, next year. By this means the change would take place at the time of our annual promotions, and a better chance would be afforded for obtaining a full school; besides, the important consideration, of a complete year's study in the new subjects, would be secured.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nGEO.

It was stated at the time that room for 120 head of cattle would suffice, and that the market or depôt could be enlarged subsequently as the demands of the Colony increased.\n\n2. Two years ago the question was again considered, and it was stated that accommodation should be provided for at least 240 head of cattle. Accordingly in 1885, the Government placed on the Colonial Estimates for 1886, a sum of $10,000 for this extension of the Depôt.\n\n3. But the fact is the wants of the town and of the shipping are growing enormously from day to day, and the Registrar General now states that the recent extension is inadequate, and that room should be provided in the Depôt for at least 360 head of cattle.\n\n4. Of the necessity for this further extension I myself can entertain no doubt, for, on a recent examination of the place, I saw many bullocks picketed outside, exposed to all weathers, for want of room in the sheds.",

Cattle exposed in this unsheltered and somewhat inhuman manner are liable to contract disease, and as the Government now pays compensation for diseased cattle destroyed, there is always a risk of more or less heavy demands being made on the Colonial Treasury on this account.\n\n6. A further extension of the cattle sheds so as to enable them to hold 360 head would involve an outlay of $9,600, and if this proposition were sanctioned, a special vote for this amount would have to be asked of the Legislative Council.\n\n7. I ought, however, to mention that a balance has remained over of $1,840 from last year's vote of $10,000, so that if a special vote of $9,600 were now asked for, a proportion of $1,840 would in reality be nothing more than a re-vote, and it would only be the balance, i.e., $7,760 that would represent new expenditure.\n\n8. As a considerable revenue may be derived from this place if enlarged, the Government will doubtless have all the greater inducement to sanction a further extension of the accommodation. The 12 stalls proposed now to be added will bring in an additional $10 a month, representing a return of 5 per cent, on the outlay.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nThe Honourable F.

CAMERON.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $25,000 towards the Jubilee Fund, to enable this Colony worthily to celebrate and commemorate the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty's glorious and beneficent reign---so especially memorable for the marvellous progress and prosperity of our Colonial Empire (Hongkong, a notable example)---and the loyalty and attachment of the Colonists towards the throne. The Honorary Treasurer to the Jubilee Committee reports that a similar sum will be raised among the British and Foreign Communities, exclusive of the Chinese subscriptions. It is proposed to erect a statue of the Queen on the Praya, or most conspicuous site that can be chosen, not only as an emblem of England's sovereignty, and the devoted loyalty of Her Majesty's subjects in this Colony, English and Chinese, but as a token of the affectionate regard evinced towards our beloved Queen on this memorable occasion by our foreign friends who live among us, and have so generously contributed to the Jubilee Fund. The statue of the Queen will thus also commemorate the good-will which exists among all classes of the Community in the year 1887, and which it is hoped may ever continue; and the Government feel sure that in asking for this vote, it is merely giving expression to the wishes of the public.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 19th September, 1887.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary gave notice that, at the next Meeting, he would move that the Council approve of the Vote of $25,000 towards the Jubilee Fund.",

Jones (Director of Public Works), Hon. Mr. A. W. Brewin (Registrar General), Hon. Mr. F. J. Badeley (Captain Superintendent of Police), Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Mr. Wei Yak, Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, Hon. Mr. W. J. Gresson, Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, and Hon. Mr. Murray Stewart.\n\n## FINANCIAL MINUTES\n\nThe Colonial Secretary moved that the following minutes be referred to the Finance Committee.\n\n1. The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $1,600 in aid of the vote, Public Works, Road, current, Water Works, Maintenance of Kowloon.\n\nThe Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $800 in aid of the vote, Judicial and Legal Departments, Land Registry Office, Other Charges, Incidental Expenses.\n\nThe Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $500 in aid of the vote, Miscellaneous Services, Coal.\n\nThe Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $14 in aid of the vote, Charitable Services, Passages and Relief of Destitutes.\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer seconded.\n\nArising out of the financial minutes, His Excellency said: It may interest the members of the Council to know what has been done. On the 22nd, the Caledonia brought in news and signaled to the effect that a large number of dismasted junks had been seen to the south-west and west of Gap Rock. We immediately sent out the tug David Gillies, which was hired from the Dock Company. She left at 3 am. on the same night and arrived on the scene about daylight the following morning. She was instructed to bring in whatever junks she could, and she brought in 52 men from various junks, and towed in one junk. At some time I applied to the Commodore, asking him to give assistance. He sent out two Destroyers, which brought in one junk, and distributed rice and water to the different crews. We sent out with each vessel 200lbs of rice. The next day, Sunday, the two Destroyers again went out and brought in three more junks. They again took out rice and water. On the Monday, further reports reached us from Gap Rock that there were a number of derelict junks floating about. I again communicated with the Commodore, and on Monday night he again sent out two Destroyers and the Cadmus. They have not yet returned. They took 200lbs. of rice each, and the Stanley, which was passing on that day to make her usual fortnightly trip to Gap Rock, also took on 300lbs. of rice. The hire of the David Gillies cost $600 and 2,700lbs of rice cost $13, and the financial question... that the Telemachus brought in \"sloven men\", and the Mathilde six junks, which is a most creditable performance. The Helene also brought in sixteen men, and I have just heard that the Quinte towed a junk into safety. Other vessels have brought in 18 junks. The total rescued are 262 men, and eleven junks.\n\nThe minutes were then referred to the Finance Committee.\n\n## MEMBERS' QUESTIONS\n\nThe Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett asked the following questions:\nAs it is understood that Mr. Carter, sanitary inspector, has been retired from the Government service, will the Government, taking into consideration the fact of Mr. Carter's good service, and that owing to his age he is now no longer eligible for obtaining fresh employment in a Government or municipal office, recommend to the Secretary of State that under the exceptional circumstances of the case Mr. Carter be granted a special pension of say £10 pa; or as an alternative an offer of re-employment here on similar conditions to those of his former post? In the event of the Government being unable to agree to this, will His Excellency consent to refer the question as now raised to the Secretary of State?\n\nThe Hon. Colonial Secretary's reply was as follows:\n(1) Mr. Carter first received notice of the intention to place him on pension in a letter from the Colonial Office dated the 8th of July.\n(2) It is a fact that Mr. Carter went home on a year's leave on 1st September, 188... He applied for three months' extension of that leave prior to the intimation above referred to conveyed to him on 24th July, and he has been granted an extension of his leave of two months.\n(3) Mr. F. W. Just, of the Colonial Office, in a letter to Mr. Carter dated the 14th of last September wrote: With regard to your request for a special pension I am to observe that you have been granted the addition allowed under the regulations for abolition of office and that it is not possible to consider the grant of a special pension.\n(4) The point has already been placed before the Secretary of State. The Government has already considered the possibility of employing Mr. Carter in some capacity and should a suitable vacancy arise his claims to re-employment will not be overlooked.\n\nHon. Mr. Murray Stewart asked: To whom, for what public purpose, and for how long has the plot of Government ground between the New Law Courts and the Praya been let?\n\nThe Director of Public Works: This ground, with the exception of the strip immediately in front of the Hongkong Club, temporarily occupied by Mr. Chan A Tong for work in connection with his contract for the new Law Courts, has been let since 1st December, 1906, to Messrs. Bang Lee and Co. for their work in connection with the contract for the Post Office. The ground has to be cleared on three months' notice in writing from the Director of Public Works.\n\nHon. Mr. Murray Stewart: Will the Government undertake to have the plot in question cleared and made presentable as soon as it is no longer necessary to the work on the Law Courts and the Post Office to maintain it in its present state?\n\nHis Excellency: It won't be advisable for you to give notice of the question if you desire a definite answer.\n\n## SUBSIDIARY COINAGE\n\nMr. Murray Stewart: Your Excellency, I beg leave to give notice that at the next meeting I shall move the following resolution: That in the opinion of this Council the issue of a new subsidiary coinage convertible at par, would not be successful unless the use of the other subsidiary coins were prohibited within the Colony, and at the circumstances, it is undesirable to take any part of a comprehensive scheme for local currency reform.",

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

They remember that it was their living in the past. But there are wider questions than that for the Colony to deal with and therefore contained in my solution. That resolution has been carefully considered by the Chamber of Commerce and we are of the opinion that what is involved is in the best interests of the Colony, so I leave it with you.\n\nwith them if we can possibly avoid it. Accordingly, I have avoided anything in moving the resolution which could be called exaggeration. One could speak with greater stress and far greater freedom if one could leave oneself free to imagination, and draw a picture of the conditions which the aftermath of this war will inevitably produce. But the whole burden of my resolution has been lost sight of in every argument advanced against it. I do not ask this Council to endorse a resolution pledging this Colony to legislation that for ten years after the war Germans shall be excluded from coming within our shores. What I ask for and plead for is that we shall pass the resolution and send it home to the Home Government as an expression of the Colony's opinion; an expression of\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY--I have one more opinion coming from the commercial men of mark to make, and that is that I do not think this Colony. The remarks which have fallen from H.E. the Governor are a deliberate flouting of the studied opinion of commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the question and come to a decision, and to tell them they are more pigmy champions compared with the past is an insult to the Chamber of Commerce--explain it how you can. With regard to the remarks which have fallen from my hon. Chinese colleague, I would point out that this resolution has been on paper for a fortnight, which gave ample time for him to consult with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce if he had desired to do so. Apparently, he did not. I have also consulted many Chinese in connection with this matter, and many Chinese merchants have told me frankly that they did not desire the German trade to return to the Colony; they very much deprecated such trade and the system which had been adopted in the past. I was astounded to hear the words fall from the lips of the Attorney-General that there were some virtues in the credit system. There is a virtue in the credit system, provided it is under control, but, speaking from experience, and from a deep knowledge of the subject, I say that the credit system practised by the Germans, which was not controlled, was positively immoral.

Williams (Secretary)\n    \n  \n\nThe Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:— As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this. That a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\"It is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nNow, gentlemen, we contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution. (Applause.) It was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question.\n\nWe claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct pronouncement from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language.",

This clause shall not be varied or affected in any way by Chinese or other characters written or chopped on it by any person purporting to be acting on behalf of either party.\"\n\n(2.) Sellers are not responsible for delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract if occasioned by Strikes, Fire, Floods, War or Civil commotions, or any other circumstances beyond their control, and the certificate of any British Chamber of Commerce or other representative Trade Corporation as to the cause of delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract shall be conclusive evidence thereof.\n\n(3.) Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, etc., not settled amicably shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.\n\n(4.) Any goods not taken delivery of within the time specified shall remain at buyer's risk in every respect.\n\n(5.) No terms of this contract other than those expressed in the English language shall affect or be binding on the sellers.\n\n229\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I think the idea is that it should replace the old contract.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked that if a contract for goods was made and the shipments were spread over three months, and the last shipment did not arrive in time, could the buyer turn round and refuse to accept the goods? They had had cases taken to Court upon the point and personally he felt rather aggrieved about it. It came under the Sales and Goods Act.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said he had compared the present form with the old one and found a good many differences. There were two clauses in the old contract which were missed entirely in the proposed one, and he thought it advisable that they should be inserted. The one referred to the question of shades. A couple of years ago they were told by Manchester that they could not expect the exact imitation of old shades of samples, and so far as he knew that had not yet been withdrawn. He thought importers should be protected against deviation. The other addition referred to clause 3. He suggested it should be added that when the goods arrived in the market in an imperfect state buyers should take delivery, and any dispute with regard to quality, shade, etc., should be referred to arbitration. He thought that was the custom in the Colony.\n\nMr. PLUMMER (as Chairman of the Sub-Committee) said the sub-committee had very carefully considered the very large number of contracts which were at present used in the Colony by various importers, and it was quite impossible to cover everything which some importers desired. As to Mr. Cousland's point, if any portion of the goods were late through unforeseen causes they were covered by common law. If they were late from some cause for which they were responsible, then he was afraid they had to accept the responsibility.\n\nMr. COUSLAND: Only for the late portion. Legally, they are entitled to throw back the whole of the goods.\n\nMr. PLUMMER said that, with regard to the question of a slight deviation in shade, they could refer the matter to the Chamber of Commerce for arbitration.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said that one of the reasons why he mentioned the matter was to see whether the Piece Goods Sub-Committee had considered it.\n\nMr. COUSLAND remarked that in any sale contract with Manchester they had the clause inserted that late delivery of one portion of the contract did not affect the others.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, proceeding, said that the reasons why the proposed contract had been brought forward were familiar to all of them and did not need either advocacy or discussion by him as Chairman. That there was a genuine need for a standard form of contract which should be adopted and adhered to by all importing members of the Chamber was common knowledge, common ground and common agreement. He would like to say most emphatically that it was not the slightest use adopting the contract which had been suggested, either in its present form or amended, if they chose by show of hands that afternoon to amend it, unless those who adopted it prepared rigidly to adhere to it. (Hear, hear). He said that advisedly, because there had been cases reported to the Committee of the past contract, which had been in force for some considerable time, being partially, if not wholly, ignored by some members of the Chamber, who subscribed to it.\n\nIt might be that the reports were false. He formally moved the adoption of the Committee's recommendations as to the local standard form of fancy piece goods.\n\nMr. J. L. PLUMMER seconded.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked whether it was proposed that the clauses should simply be added to the old contract, or were to be considered to be the entire terms of the contract. If the latter, he was afraid there were one or two legal points which had been left out.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN suggested that points raised by Mr. Cousland and Mr. Van Andel would be covered if clause 3 were altered to read as follows:- \"Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, delivery, late shipment or non-fulfilment of contract, etc., not settled amicably, shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and their finding shall be binding on both parties.\"\n\nMr. COUSLAND suggested the addition of the following clause:- \"Late or non-arrival of one or more lots not to affect other shipments under this contract.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN announced that the suggestion would be accepted, as part of clause 3, or would be drafted in another clause.\n\nThe additions mentioned by the Chairman and Mr. Cousland were agreed to, and the proposed contract, as amended, was unanimously approved by the meeting.",

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

Post representative yesterday, General Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, made the following statement regarding the visit to Hongkong: \n\n\"The relations between Great Britain and China have been traditionally friendly and those between Hongkong and Canton are particularly close and important. Two months ago, His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Governor, was kind enough to pay a visit to Generalissimo Chiang and ourselves in Canton, thereby further strengthening the bonds of our friendship. Acting on instructions from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and the wish of the people that we should return that visit, I, in company with Mayor Tseng Yang-fu, have come to Hongkong.\n\n\"I am most thankful for and deeply impressed by the most cordial and impressive welcome accorded to us by the authorities of Hongkong and by the enthusiasm shown by our nationals here. I am particularly delighted to have had the opportunity of making personal contacts with the high officials of the Hongkong Government as well as leaders of the local community and representatives of the various Chinese public organisations.\n\n\"We are working for the prosperity of both Hongkong and Canton, and we feel quite confident that, after this visit, our friendship and co-operation will be increased and lead to useful results. I earnestly hope that in future we shall meet each other more often and exchange views for achieving progress, and promoting the welfare, of our two cities, and strengthening the ties of friendship between Great Britain and China.”\n\n## CHINESE TIFFIN\n\n### Businessmen Entertain At Hongkong Hotel\n\n#### SPEECHES OF WELCOME\n\nGeneral Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, Mayor of Canton, were the guests of honour at a tiffin in the Hongkong Hotel Roof Garden yesterday, when they were entertained by a group of leading Chinese business men. Other guests included the trade delegation which arrived from Canton yesterday morning.\n\nIn proposing a toast to General Huang and Mr. Tseng, the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, who spoke in Chinese, said:\n\n\"The visit of His Excellency the Chairman of the Provincial Government of Kwangtung and His Honour the Mayor of Canton has given unbounded pleasure to the whole community of Hongkong. The warmth of their welcome has seldom been equalled. It was but in September last that Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott called on Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Canton, when he had the opportunity of meeting many high officials there, and of cementing the friendly relations between Kwangtung and Hongkong. To-day, so soon after that visit, His Excellency the Chairman, General Huang Mu-sung, and His Honour Mayor Tseng Yang-fu honour Hongkong with a visit. This is clear evidence of the harmonious friendship between the Authorities of the two places, and also of the increasingly cordial relations between China and Great Britain.\n\n\"Of the population of Hongkong about 97 per cent. are Chinese. Canton and Hongkong are closely related, geographically, commercially, and even from the point of view of peace and good order. Last night at the banquet at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman very aptly likened Canton and Hongkong to two sisters. I venture to make two other comparisons. Canton is as a mansion, and Hongkong its gateway; Canton is as the human trunk, and Hongkong its throat.\n\n\"Fortunes Linked. A few days ago His Honour the Mayor, speaking at a meeting of the Rotary Club in Canton, said somewhat to the effect that if Canton prospered, Hongkong would also prosper; if Canton suffered, Hongkong would also suffer; that, in short, the two places are interdependent. There can be no doubt that Canton and Hongkong share their prosperity and adversity, and are intimately responsive to each other in ebb and in flow.\n\n\"A few days ago, when I went up to Canton to attend the State funeral of the late Mr. Hu Han-min, I was overwhelmed by the unbounded hospitality of His Excellency the Chairman and of His Honour the Mayor. Though the conversations I had with them were short, they were not too short to enable me to realise that they had already gained thorough knowledge of local conditions. Now, they have come personally to Hongkong, and are seeing for themselves the conditions of the Chinese in particular, and of the Colony in general. Their knowledge will thus be enhanced, for 'to see with the eye is better than to hear with the ear,' just as one personal contact is better than a hundred letters.\n\n\"Both the Chairman and the Mayor love the people, and are assiduous in their efforts for their welfare. Since the assumption of their high offices, they have introduced what is modern, and abolished what is obsolete. They have upheld law and order, and they know the needs and heed the aspirations of the people.\n\n\"Hongkong happily also has as its Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott who has understanding and sympathy, vision and ability. Thus, like 'the echoing sound or the responding spirit', friendly co-operation will, of a certainty, be forthcoming, to the benefit of the two places.\n\n\"Able Assistants. Moreover, all those who have accompanied the Chairman and the Mayor on this visit are men of outstanding ability. Among the officials there are, for instance, Dr. Tyau, Colonel Li Fong, General Wong Keung, and Colonel Chang Yuan-man. Among the commercial party there are, among others too numerous to name, Mr. Ho Chap-ping and Mr. Chau Tin-pong who, with their colleagues, form a distinguished party. Our pleasure has been enhanced by the presence of His Majesty's Consul-General in Canton, Mr. Herbert Phillips, and of other prominent citizens of the Colony, official and unofficial, British and Chinese.\n\n\"Last night at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman quoted this happy saying: 'To befriend the one's good neighbour, and to co-operate with him, is a precious asset of a nation.' This precept is being carried into practice by Canton and Hongkong to-day.\n\n\"My fellow-hosts and I sincerely hope that our distinguished guests will not measure the extent of our respect and admiration for them by the inadequacy of the arrangements which we have made for their welcome and entertainment. We wish them every success in their high endeavours, and we wish Kwangtung peace and prosperity. Gentlemen, I now ask you to raise your glasses and drink with me to the health of His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu.\"\n\nThe toast was responded to by Gen. Huang and Mr. Tseng, who spoke in Cantonese.\n\n#### Gen. Huang's Response\n\nIn coming to Hongkong with the Mayor Mr. Tseng Yang-fu to return the visit of His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, I have been accorded the warmest welcome and I feel I have been greatly honoured. It is almost two years since I last visited Hongkong. On coming here again this time, I am glad to see with my own eyes the progress in trade and industry, the prosperity of the market, and the bright and harmonious views from every aspect. The economic depression has affected world trade generally, but Hongkong is able to stand out against all. You Gentlemen and the Government are to be congratulated for your efforts which have had such satisfactory results.\n\nChina's poverty has been due to two reasons—political instability and want of co-operation between Government and people. Fortunately, the country is now united, law and order are enforced, and...",
