Before leaving I gave out rounds of ammunition, and I believe the Police had 20 rounds more. I placed Mr Caldwell in charge of one boat, Mr Ryan in charge of another; I went in the third; in my boat there were 8 in all. Two junks were pointed out to me as the two junks from which the stones were thrown at the Police-boat; mine was the nearest in-shore to the junks; my boat was the outside one. Mr Caldwell's boat was in the rear of mine; the other boat was in-shore. I steered alongside the outward junk. I felt the boat kept back; I could not get her wholly broadside on to the junk before arriving alongside. The people in the junks had fired large and small guns, I mean ginjals and matchlocks. I heard shots strike the water. This fire was returned by all the Police boats. I heard Mr Caldwell speaking in Chinese very loud, and answers apparently made from the junks. Finding the other boats did not get alongside, and that a determined resistance was made, I ordered my boat to be shoved off, and told the other two boats to fall back. After leaving the junks, they continued firing 5 or 6 shots from ginjals; I told the Police not to return the fire, and ordered them out of reach of the fire from the junk. Some of the Police had no ammunition this time; they asked me for some, as they were anxious to return and make a second attack; a European in my boat had no arms. At this time I was not aware of any accident happening to the Police force; I had seen a man in the water when alongside the junk, but believed him to be one of the junkmen; I had an idea of picking him out, but on looking round, found he had either sunk or was taken on board the junk. The time I was alongside I was about half a minute; my impression was that my boat was kept back either by spears or bamboos from the junk; I could not see them, as it was remarkably dark, the wind strong, and the sea high. I determined to go to H.M.S. Cambrian for assistance, and ordered all but four rowers into another boat; before going, I directed Mr Caldwell to go as near the sterns of the junks as he could with safety, and request them to give in; and that if they did not, I was going to the man-of-war, and they would run the risk of being shot. Mr Caldwell called to me from his boat, that the junkmen were determined to resist. I then pulled to the Cambrian. The two junks were pointed out to me by the third Police-boat that remained near. I had no Chinamen in my boat; nothing was said to the junkmen from my boat. I heard Mr Caldwell calling out loudly to the junk people before any firing. I had a lantern in my boat, which I shewed; the three boats were to leeward of the junks; my boat may have been about 100 feet from the junks while Mr Caldwell was speaking; lights were shewn from one Police-boat to another while directions were given by me. When I arrived on board the Cambrian, I saw an officer, and asked if he was officer of the deck; he answered, \"Yes.\" I said, as nearly as I can recollect, \"I am the Superintendent of Police, and have come to apply to the Commodore for assistance to capture two suspicious junks which had fired upon and hustled off the Police-boats.\" The officer asked me if that was the firing he heard; I told him it was, and he desired me to accompany him below. He went into the stern cabin, and shortly after came out saying assistance should be rendered; I remained on deck till the boats were nearly ready, and then went into my own boat and guided the men-of-war's boats to where the junks were lying, pointing them out to the officer who was in command of the party. When I arrived near the junks, being ahead of the men-of-war boats, I saw the two Police-boats lying within 150 yards of the junks; the Police were rowing in the direction of the junks. I ordered them to keep to the rear of me, and not to fire. It was lighter by this time; it was now about 12 o'clock; I saw the navy boats go alongside the junk, and heard the people in the junks as if cheering or making a great shouting; before the navy boats touched the junks, they were fired into. A volley was fired by the navy boats, and afterwards there were about 20 straggling shots, but cannot say exactly whether they were wholly from the navy boats or some from the junks; after these shots were fired the navy boats cheered and boarded; the noise on board the junk was when I first got near. I boarded after the man-of-war's men; nearly all the sailors and marines were in the junks; they were very crowded. I saw some powder thrown overboard, and heard the plunging as of something heavy into the water; none of the junkmen at this time were to be seen; many of the sailors were below searching; it was dark below; Police lanterns were got; I did not see the sailors using their cutlasses; I saw no Chinamen in the water. I sent Mr Caldwell's boat to pick up some men who I heard in the water. Constable Smith was, I think, in the boat. I should say that the first fire from the Police-boats (before the navy boats came) did not take effect on the junks, as I heard no cries from the junk after the fire. I told the officer I would take charge of the junks, and that if he would lend me a boat to take the prisoners on shore, I would take charge of them. He ordered boats for this purpose, and directed all his men to go into the boats and leave the junks, which they did. I remained about half an hour after this on board; I had a thorough search made in and round the junks. Boarding nettings were triced up in the junk; they were the ordinary make of fishing nets. I examined the boats in order to satisfy myself whether the boats were piratical ones or not; and I believe they are not piratical boats; one had a cargo of molasses, and grain, and physic; the other boat, the large one, was empty. I found 4 matchlocks and 3 ginjals in the two boats; one of the watchlocks was burst; there were more lanyards and ropes for other ginjals.\n\nQuestion by Mr Shurtred—Mr Caldwell does not speak the dialect of the junkmen, but he understands a little. I was about 100 feet from the junks at the time Mr Caldwell spoke to them; his boat was to the rear of mine about 10 feet; the wind was high; we were to leeward of the junks; my belief was, and is that the junkmen understood and answered Mr Caldwell. We have 11 men now at the Station from these junks—nearly all were wounded—21 were brought to the Station from the junks, and one was picked up dead on Monday. I consider I have power under clause 7 of Ordinance 14 of 1840, to board any vessel whatever in the harbour, either day or night—of course having a reasonable object in view. The Superintendent and Inspectors of the Metropolitan London Police have exactly the same power. I have frequently exercised this power both day and night.\n\nQ. Under all the circumstances of this case, considering the trivial nature of the original charge, and the slight resistance the junks could have afforded to such a force as you took with you, did you feel yourself fully authorised to call in the assistance of the man-of-war without a Magistrate's Warrant? A. I conscientiously believe that under all the circumstances of the case, notwithstanding its slight origin, that no other proper course was open to me. With reference to my authority to get the assistance of the Navy, any Constable has power to demand assistance in carrying out his duty. As regards myself, I am authorised as commanding the Police to apply for the assistance of the Naval power on such occasion. I considered an overpowering force would effect the object of capturing the junks without any resistance or consequent bloodshed. I was not consulted with reference to the force from the man-of-war. When a person makes a complaint at the Station, it is a matter of course that immediate attention shall be paid to the complaint, so that the parties offending may be forthcoming to answer it. It was not consistent with the Inspectors' duty to allow Mr Muir's complaint to stand over till next day without taking immediate measures to apprehend the offenders, or otherwise secure their attendance next day.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Cairns.—When you applied for assistance from the Naval Commander, did you consider these were trading junks or pirates?—My impression was that they were piratical junks, because I could not account for the resistance they made but under such supposition.\n\nBy Mr Shortrede.—Whose duty is it to board and examine these junks when they anchor in the Harbour?—I do not consider that any government officer considers it his duty to Board Chinese vessels in this harbour, with a view of ascertaining their characters generally, unless upon especial information or suspicion; and in such a case it is my duty.\n\nQ. Does it consist with your knowledge that men dressed as policemen, or with badges upon their arms calling themselves policemen, have scurried and robbed junks in the Harbour? A. There have been none to my knowledge since the increase to the water-police 18 months ago; before that there were two instances of robbery by violence in the Harbour by persons representing themselves as policemen, and two cases of extortion by threats by Chinese in the employ of the government. A case occurred in April 1847—there was an attack made by a lorcha manned by Chinese and Portuguese representing themselves as policemen, who robbed a junk off Jardine's of a considerable amount of property.\n\n(21)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nFriday 20th October. Al-Tew states, was in charge of the largest of the two junks; the crew consisted of ten men altogether; there were no passengers. My vessel came from How-tong; we were here about 20 days; we brought salt and live pigs. On the evening of the 19th, Chinese month, about dark, while my boat was lying alongside of a small junk, a small boat came near the junks; I was in the cabin at the time, and heard a cry of thieves from the small junk. I came on deck; did not see the small boat, as it was so dark; the small boat went away; I then returned to the cabin, and did not come out of the cabin until 2 or 3 boats came near the junks; they came about half an hour after the first. I did not hear anything said by the people in these boats; the small junk fired 2 or 3 shots, I think at them; it was very dark at this time; the small boats fired at the small junk. After this a great many boats came; these boats fired at the small junk, and the people in them came on board and threw me and the other men into the boat. My tail was cut off by one of these men.\n\n(22)\n\nEDWARD COHEN sworn, I am an assistant at Messrs Phillips, Moore & Co.'s, in Victoria. On Sunday evening last, I heard firing on the water near our place; did not know what it was at first; but went down to the window below Aequi's in the Lower Bazaar. I saw several shots fired from or at a junk a short distance from the shore. The only expression I could hear was, \"See, a man overboard,\" or \"Here's a man overboard.\" I immediately heard a shot fired. Previous to this there were one or two volleys fired, and I could hear the balls whistling round our house.\n\nE. Cohen.\n\n(23)\n\nROBERT MCKENZIE sworn,—I am a constable; I was left in the boat with Sergeant M'Lean lying off the junks on Sunday night when the men-of-war's boats came, in order to pick up any Chinese we might see in the water. I saw no Chinamen in the water. I was in the boat, and a dog was thrown overboard from the small junk; I was about five or six yards from the junk; the dog was black; a shot was fired at it by a marine—saw his belt—the shot killed it. If there were any Chinamen in the water near the boat, I would have seen them. I heard firing on board the junks; by the sound it was firing down into the holds of the junks; we were then under the bows of the junk. The sampan was looted overboard from the junks either by the marines or sailors. I heard one of the officers tell the men to cease firing—this was after the firing into the hold.\n\n(24)\n\nR. MCKENZIE.\n\nTHURSTAN DALE sworn,—I was with Messrs Devan and Muir, and others on Sunday evening in their boat coming from the Tam o'Shanter; we left the vessel about half-past six in the evening; our boat, the wind being strong, came within about ten yards of two junks; we had to go past them to get ashore; the men in the junks made a noise; it sounded to me not as if they were pulling up their anchor or anything of that kind but seemed as if they meant it for us to keep off; that at least was my impression, although I did not know the language. One of our boatmen replied to the junk people; there was then a shout, or hurrah, from some of the party in the boat—I was in one, two, or three, may have joined in the shout; boatmen did not join in the shout.\n\nAfter this the junkmen I think called out something, after which a stone struck one boat. We then pulled ahead of the junks, and Mr Bevan wished to go on board the junks, to see what the stone was thrown for; He took hold of the boat's tiller, and put the boat's head towards the junks. The boatmen refused to go; I said it was no use—that it was better to come ashore. While this was going on, several stones were thrown at the boat; I don't remember that any of the stones struck our boat. We then came ashore, and I came up to the Police Office with Messrs Muir and Roose. I went down afterwards to my boat to see what the Police boats did; I waited for some time, did not see any of them, and came away and went home.\n\nExamined by Mr Morison.—The discussion that took place between Mr Bevan and myself about his going on board the junks was sufficiently loud for the junkmen to hear.\n\nTHURSTAN DALE.\n\n(25)\n\n[Lie-kip-ty, and Che-yeuk, both sworn in as interpreters, they having a knowledge of the Tin-chien dialect.]\n\nPoon-Chow sworn—I am a Lukong. On Sunday evening last some gentlemen came and made a report at the Police Station. I went with them and the police in the boat; Mr Ryan told me to go and tell the Captain of the junk to come up to the Station, to see why stones were thrown at the gentlemen. I went in the boat about thirty feet from the junk—this was about 7 o'clock in the evening, and spoke to them in Chinese [Here the witness was asked to say in Chinese what he said to the junkmen. The witness's answer was rendered in English by the two interpreters,\n\n\"Friend, I got something to say: I wish the Captain to come Ashore.\" (The original words were spoken in the Pokéen dialect) Further he said, \"This is a mandarin boat come to talk to him; and not to be afraid\" (This was also said in Fokeen. When I first spoke to the junkmen, I was as far from them as this is from Mr Holdforth's house (a distance of about two hundred feet.) [The witness here corrects himself, and says this was in reference to his second visit to these junks.] The junkmen the first time did not say anything to me; they then threw stones at us. First when I went, there was not much wind. [The witness is asked to point out, if he can, the distance he was at from the junks when he first spoke to them; and he points to a house distant about fifty yards.] then returned to No. 1 Station, and waited there. I went again in the Police-boat to the junks; and stood about a 100 feet from them. At this time there was not much wind; I do not know in what direction it was blowing. I spoke again to the junkmen this second time the same as I did on the first occasion. The people in the junk said to me, not to come near; if we did, they would fire. They said nothing else to me; I said no more to them, and then came ashore. They threw stones at us; none of them struck the boat. The first time stones were thrown—that is, when I went in the first boat—some of the stones struck the boat, and some of the crew were struck. I then came on shore, and waited in the boat. When Messrs May and Caldwell came, I went back in the boat again to the junks; Mr May's boat was first, next to the junks; I was in Mr Ryan's boat. I did not on this occasion speak to the junks; I do not know if anything was said in the other boats. At this time, the boat I was in was 16 or 18 feet from Mr May's boat and Mr Caldwell's boat was between us; I did not hear anything said from Mr Caldwell's or Mr May's boat to the junkmen. It was then blowing hard; there was no interpreter in Mr May's boat; we were then about 400 feet from the junks; they were making a noise on both the junks. The only words I heard were \"Kuk-chang p'la,\" which means \"Take gun and fire.\" My boat was close to Mr Caldwell during all this time; anything that was said by the junkmen I must have heard as well as Mr Caldwell. Each boat had a light, which they shewed to the junk. I then heard shots fired from the outward junk—they only fired at Mr May's boat; the boat I was in then fired. After the shots were fired, the junkmen said nothing to the Police. I then retired, and Mr May told us to wait until he went to the man-of-war; Mr May did not tell us to do anything while he was away, but to wait. Nothing was said either from Mr Caldwell's boat or the one I was in to the junkmen while Mr May was away, nor was anything said to the junkmen until the men-of-war's men fired. I did not go on board the junks until the sailors of the men-of-war left them.\n\n(26)\n\nKoo-CAP sworn.—By Mr Cairns—I never was in Hongkong before. I belong to the small junk. By Mr Shurtrede,—[The words which Poon-chow stated he used on Sunday evening to the junkmen he now repeats in presence of Koo-cap, who being asked through the interpreter, says \"I never heard these words before\" and being asked the meaning of the words, he says, they mean \"Friend, is the Captain on board?\"\n\n(27)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,—I am the Harbour Master of Victoria, and Marine Magistrate.\n\nExamined by Mr Shortrede.—Do you recognise this Proclamation, (producing a Proclamation in Chinese, initialed by the Coroner.)—I fancy I do from the Stamp; it bears the Seal of the Marine Magistrate's Office. I do not read Chinese or understand it.\n\nDo you know the import of the Proclamation?—I think I do.\n\nCan you tell its import?—Yes; it is a proclamation from His Excellency the late Governor of Hongkong to all trading junks anchoring in the Harbour.\n\nFrom whom did you receive instructions to issue this proclamation?—From Mr Shelley for the Colonial Secretary, by letter dated 28th May 1846. I hold in my hand the letter I allude to; I produce the letter handed in the letter, which, at the request of the jury is read; as also the copy of the Proclamation accompanying that letter, the copies are annexed] Examined by the Coroner.—I distributed these Eighteen Copies of the Proclamation. After they were all gone I obtained more from Mr Gutzlaff the Chinese Secretary, by whom I presume they were originally prepared. I went on board the junks myself when I distributed them. I was requested to make them public, and left some copies at the Hong where the junkmen frequent, as also gave some to persons who traded with them; and made it as generally known as possible. I had it explained to the junkmen if people molested them, to secure them and bring them to me, or the Chief Magistrate, but not to hurt them.\n\nBy Mr Shortrede.—Has any subsequent proclamation upon this subject been issued to the junkmen by you?—No. I may add that it was the habit of boarding junks to ascertain if they have been molested by any body. My Chinese boatmen interpreted for me; I cannot say they were understood, but I should think they were, as the junkmen always seemed pleased.—I do not think I went on board either of these two junks in question.—On my visits to the junks I never heard any complaints.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 28th May, 1846.\n\nSIR, I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to transmit to you 18 Copies of the Chinese Translation of the enclosed Proclamation, and to request your compliance with the instructions therein contained, by occasionally boarding and furnishing each junk anchoring in this harbour with a copy of the same, for the information of the Masters and Crews. A few Copies should be posted up for general information.\n\nI have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,\n\nA. F. SHELLEY,\n\nfor the Colonial Secretary.\n\nLieut. W. PEDDER, R.N., Harbour Master.\n\n(True Copy,)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER, Harbour Master, Marine Magistrate.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor directs, that the Harbour Master board all trading junks on their anchoring in the Harbour, and that a proclamation be issued to the following effect, and communicated to the masters and crews thereof:\n\nThat the port of Victoria is open to all junks and vessels without any anchorage fees or other dues; that they are at liberty to stay in it as long as they choose, and to depart when they like, without any molestation.\n\nThat the crews and passengers are at full liberty to communicate with the shore, and to deal in all articles with any person whom they may choose; but that they are not to buy Opium in a smaller quantity than one chest from any one but the Retail Dealer licensed by the Government. When they buy a chest of Opium, or any larger quantity, they may purchase it from any person.\n\nThat no person except the Harbour Master can board a junk or vessel without the consent of the master, unless he is armed with a warrant and accompanied by a constable.\n\nThat all complaints against persons unlawfully boarding or molesting vessels are to be made to the Harbour Master or the Chief Magistrate; and that the attempts of persons to extort money, or represent themselves falsely as possessing exclusive privileges of trade, and thereby interfere with the freedom of the port, are contrary to His Excellency's orders, and will be visited with severe punishment on being duly represented to the authorities above mentioned.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria.\n\nHongkong, 23d May, 1846.\n\n(28)\n\nJAMES LEGGE sworn,—I am a Doctor of Divinity, and attached to the London Missionary Society.\n\nExamined by Mr Shortrede.—Do you understand Chinese?\n\nCan you read this Proclamation? (producing the one identified by Mr Pedder. Yes.\n\nIs it the same I sent you yesterday?—Yes.\n\nHave you read it over?—Yes, I have done so carefully.\n\nHave you consulted any Chinese who are scholars as to the import of the third Regulation in this Proclamation? I have.\n\nWill you have the goodness to state your interpretation of the third Regulation alluded to, as well as the meaning attached to it by the persons you consulted?—This regulation consists of two parts. The first says the Harbour-master, and persons carrying Warrants, and Policemen, have power to board vessels. The meaning of the second part is not so plain; it was because I could not make it out satisfactorily myself, that I consulted Chinese scholars. Literally, it runs, \"If there be men, and the Captain does not want them to enter the vessel, then he may be able to obstruct and stop them.\" The difficulty lies from the form of the Chinese sentence in determining who are intended by the word \"men.\" I suppose it intended to mean \"other men\"—different from the Harbour-master and others mentioned above; but this is by no means clear, and a Chinese, in my opinion, would rather identify the word \"men\" with the Harbour-master, &c. Seeing the difficulty last night, I consulted a Chinese who at once knows his own and the English languages very well—Tsin-shen, an assistant in our Mission. He took the same view of the intention of the writer as myself, and laughed heartily at the composition. This morning, I consulted two other Chinese as to the meaning. The first is Sew-tsai, (that is, a literary graduate of the first degree,) and was the first in his class when he took the honour at his county examination in the Canton province in 1833. He supposed that the regulation empowered the Captain of the Vessel to resist the Harbour-master, the Warrant-bearers, and the Policemen; at the same time he did not seem to see the connection between the two parts of the regulation. The second person consulted is a respectable Chinese, who can read and write in his own language tolerably well, but makes no pretensions to being a scholar. He interpreted the clause in the same way as the other, and added,—\"So then the Chew-chow (this is the Canton sound of Tib-tchien) men, when they resisted the boats, had right on their side;\" but then he added—\"To be sure, when the boats came in the dark, it was according to regulation to resist them.\" I mention this last remark, because it confirms my own view of the composition of the regulation, that while Chinese naturally interpret it as those two men did, there is still something wanting to make that view of it certain, if it was the intention of the composer to convey that the word \"men\" was to be identified with the Harbour-master, &c. The meaning of this clause is not plain.\n\nJAMES LEGGE.\n\nCHARLES MAY further examined on the 21st,—To the best of my belief I never saw the Chinese notice (the one alluded to by Mr Pedder in his evidence) now exhibited to me, and I am certain I never saw any translation, or any letter of instructions on the subject in accordance with the Colonial Secretary's letter of instructions now read to me. (Here the copy of the letter of 28th May 1846, and instructions, annexed to Mr Pedder's evidence, is read to Mr May.) This is the first intimation I have had of Mr Pedder's instructions as to boarding junks in the Harbour. I know that there is a Police-boat attached to the Registrar General's Office, that daily boards Chinese vessels in the Harbour, under the Registration Ordinance No. 7 of 1846, sec. 2. If anything came to the Registrar General's notice as to any suspicious boats in the Harbour, the Registrar General, as joint Superintendent of Police, would consult with me on it.

I lost my initial case and appealed it to the Supreme Court. The Consul stayed Kemptner's suit against me because it related to the evidence of fraud that I had presented in my suit against him, pending the outcome of my appeal. The Consul required my agent to enter into bonds for my appearance in Kemptner's suit, as well as provide security for the payment of the claim.\n\nIn the appeal, I employed Mr. Kingsmill. Unfortunately, I lost the appeal and paid him his fees. I also paid Kemptner the full amount of his claim, thereby settling the matter. While the appeal was pending, I was served with a writ by Mr. Deven on behalf of Kemptner, claiming $10,000. I was unaware of the basis for this claim. Kemptner's claim was not related to my suit against him because the amount was different, because Kemptner's claim was pending in the Consular Court, and because Kemptner, upon receiving payment from me, denied having instituted the action. Had he done so, he would have been liable for the costs. I ignored the writ as it was not endorsed and considered it beneath notice. It is for the alleged proceedings under this writ that Mr. Kingsmill now seeks payment from me. I never authorized the proceedings, nor did I retain him, and I submit that a barrister cannot sue for his fees without proof of retainer.\n\nI submitted a large file of papers as evidence, but they were rejected. The decision was based on the dictum that it was impossible for a gentleman of Mr. Kingsmill's standing to conduct a case without instructions. Kemptner's lawyer could have been called to court, and the records of the Registrar examined, but Mr. Kingsmill's word was deemed sufficient. The attached documents were left to speak for themselves.\n\nI pray you to excuse me for highlighting a few salient points. When I decided to let the appeal drop and proceed to Europe, I had approximately $72,000 worth of unencumbered property within the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong court, which would be amenable to a judgment against me under a Writ of Foreign Attachment. It would be irrational to leave such a substantial amount of property at risk, dependent on litigation that only involved one-tenth of the sum. This fact corroborates my statement that I considered the case suspended until my return.\n\nI attempted to go through the correspondence between myself and Mr. Kingsmill while conducting the cases, but I was interrupted and repeatedly urged to get into the witness box, which prevented me from dissecting the correspondence as intended. I exhibited my full file of papers and respectfully submit that Mr. Whyte should have sifted through all the warrantable evidence to the bottom, rather than selectively believing one minuscule aspect.\n\n## Page 335", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-106 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 262740, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-106 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [8-9]", "page_number": 342, "title": "CO129-106 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [8-9]", "content_text": "## THE DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY AUGUST 1965\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONG KONG\n\nthe acting Attorney General formally presented the case.\n\nTUM\n\nWows Arurdwand Cunniline.

Enter all the Kings, with female attendants on horseback, etc. The Prime Minister's commission is read, and robes and insignia are given to him. A long parting ceremony takes place between the newly elected Minister and the Kings, one of whom drives off in his chariot, (represented by two flags with wheels depicted on them and held like a wheelbarrow by a female attendant). Then the Prime Minister sings a long 'scena' comparing his present state with his former obscurity, and exeunt omnes.\"\n\nThe Farce.\n\n\"Hò A-lan was a 'ne'er-do-well' (he looked the character); and was introduced to the audience as receiving a lecture from his wife, who pointed her admonitions with a bamboo for having 'lost' the price of a piece of pork she had sent him to sell. She more than suspects the truth, viz., that he has gambled away the money.\"\n\n\"A-lan, incautiously wishing his wife dead, has ill times of it, till he promises amendment, and proposes to take the household pig for sale, and to start afresh in life with the proceeds. The good wife consents, and sends him off with many a caution.\"\n\n\"The silly fellow takes his pig (which was represented by a small block of wood at the end of a string) to the village market, where he meets two of his gambling companions. They at once mark down the pig as a prize, and enter into a bargain with him for it. He is first caught in a foolish error about the price, from his ignorance of counting, and then, the sum being agreed on, the purchaser reminds him of a supposed gambling debt he owes\n\n(31)\n\nfrom last year, remarking, that the pig, which he walks off with, will just cover the amount.\"\n\n\"A-làn is stupefied, and at his wit's end what to do, or how to meet his wife. He gives a comic fancy sketch of her reception of him, and says he dare not go home. The other swindler, to get his accomplice clear off, offers to give him lessons in boxing, so that he may meet his wife on more equal terms, and gives a few exhibitions of his skill by inviting A-làn to hit him, when he knocks him down in sundry wonderful ways. A-lán is very anxious to learn, and agrees to say no more about the pig, for which he is taught three feints, or modes of parrying an attack, and that he may practice them, the professor offers to personate his wife, which he does very amusingly, coming at him with feminine scoldings, and gestures, and trying to cuff him for the loss of the pig. A-làn practices his newly acquired art of self defence very successfully, the professor being floored each time.\"\n\n\"He then went home, confident in his newly acquired skill, and, naturally, a rupture followed. A-làn tried all three of the feints he had learned, but to no purpose, his wife knew them all and a few more, so he soon found himself ignominiously tied to the door-post, with his wife's old jacket over his head, while she went to her supper, promising to come and settle accounts with him when she had finished!\"\n\n\"While she was supping, a hunchback came by. Seeing A-làn tied there, with his face covered, he asks, 'Halloo! are you a man or a demon?' A-lán asserts himself to be a man, but, spying advantage in the ignorance of the hunchback, declares that this is his way of advertising his business. What is his business!' 'Curing deformities!' 'The hunchback is charmed. Can he cure him?

Nicht mehr Kunst und Liebe am Verkehr des Volkes, sondern Furcht ist es, was die Chinesen noch halbe und kümmerliche Zugeständnisse machen läßt.\n\nZwar ist es vornehmlich nur das eine europäische Volk der Portugiesen und Spanier, welche den Kulihandel hauptsächlich von der Station Macao aus, gewerbsmäßig betreiben, aber andere Nationen werden mit hineinverwickelt und betheiligen sich jetzt – die Deutschen nicht ausgenommen – bereits in ausgedehntem Maße daran. Der Reflex dieser abscheulichen Schändlichkeiten fällt auf alle Europäer, die in chinesischen Häfen verkehren, gleichmäßig, und wirkt lähmend, zerstörend und demoralisirend auf die ganzen Handelsverhältnisse ein, wie sie mit Mühe und Zeit in China sich haben herausbilden lassen. Wie schnell und tief das durch solche Uebergreife geschaffene Mißtrauen und die unsägliche Schlechtigkeit, die dieser Menschenhandel erzeugt, wirken können, sehen wir an Afrika, dessen Küsten-Völker den Teufel weiß malen, den Verkehr mit Europäern dem Verrath gleich achten und ganz im Gegensatz zu den Binnenvölkern auf das verachtendste und feindseligste ihnen zu begegnen, für gebotene Moral halten. Es ist schon jetzt nach kaum zwanzigjährigem Verkehr hohe Zeit, daß die europäischen Regierungen im Interesse der allgemeinen Wohlfahrt und Humanität ihres guten Rufs und des ferneren Handels mit den Ostasiaten nicht mehr erlauben, daß deren anfängliches Vertrauen und Entgegenkommen durch Menschenraub und Verleitung der Behörden zur unergründlichsten Verrätherei durch Bestechung mißbraucht und definitiv verscherzt werde.\n\nWenn man lesen muß, daß die japanischen Behörden ein peruvianisches Schiff, mit Kulis aus Macao befrachtet, welches auf seinem Wege nach Callao verschlagen, in Yokohama einzulaufen gezwungen war, sofort in Beschlag nahmen, die Gefangenen nach China zurücksandten und den Kommandanten des Schiffs, einen peruvianischen Marine-Kapitän, zu einer ehrenrührigen Strafe verurtheilten, so fragt man sich, wie dies möglich ist, da doch monatlich Kulischiffe in den holländischen Häfen Ostindiens, in Mauritius und Reunion, ja selbst in der Kapstadt einlaufen und sich dort, Kohle und Wasser einnehmend, wochenlang aufhalten, ohne im Mindesten von den europäischen Behörden dieser Häfen molestirt zu werden. Entweder that die japanische Behörde zu viel, oder diese letzteren vernachlässigten ihre Pflicht. Und wenn wir gegenüber mancherlei Zweifeln nun weiter vernehmen, daß diese unsre europäischen Beamteten ganz ebenso berechtigt gewesen wären, gegen die Kulischiffer einzuschreiten, wie die japanischen, und daß die Thatsachen ebenso himmelschreiend in den Häfen europäischer Kolonien, wie in Yokohama gewesen, womöglich noch schlimmer, und die Japaner ihrerseits für den Präcedenzfall, den sie schufen, die vollste Anerkennung jedes rechtlich gesinnten Menschen verdienten, so müssen wir mit Beschämung auf die Indifferenz blicken, die bisher allgemein gegen die Atrozitäten des Kulihandels in Europa geherrscht. Freilich fragen wir weiter, wie es möglich sei, in China derartige gräuliche Frachten zu kontrahiren. Giebt es dort keine Regierung, keine Behörden, die ihre chinesischen Unterthanen vor Gewalt, Raub und Betrug schützen? Und wäre es nicht einfach, diesen die fernere Fürsorge zu überlassen?\n\nAbgesehen davon, daß ein solches laisser faire unsern civilisatorischen Bestrebungen kaum entsprechend und ebenso unklug als moralisch verwerflich sein würde, müßte die Kompetenz der Chinesen über europäische Schiffe in ihren uns eingeräumten, von ausländischen Statthaltern und Konsuln besetzten Häfen dermaßen erweitert werden, daß jeder Uebergriff ihrerseits sich rechtfertigte und der Weg zu einem entschiedenen Rückschritt im Verkehr zwischen den westlichen und östlichen Kulturvölkern gebahnt sein würde. Unsere Indifferenz, unser \"Laisser faire\" würde, mit Recht, sich in beschämender Weise strafen. - Beides aber ist nicht nur diese Indifferenz unleugbar vorhanden, sondern es fehlte sogar nicht an Aufmunterung und Unterstützung dieses unverhüllten Menschenraubs und raffinirten Sklavenhandels. Portugiesen betrieben ihn planmäßig mit voller Sanktion ihrer Regierung, und die holländische Kolonialregierung hat mehrfach dazu die Hand geboten, entlaufene Chinesen einzufangen und nicht in ihre Heimath, sondern wieder an ihre Peiniger auszuliefern. Ganze Frachten von an der javanischen Küste gestrandeten Schiffen wurden auf diese Weise für die Sklaverei behördenmäßig eingefangen und aufbewahrt, auch französische Kriegsschiffe haben sich in dieser Richtung hervorgethan, da sie im Dienste ihrer Seelenverkäufer einer Auslieferungsweigerung gegenüber ihre Breitseiten aufwachten. Ja, neuerdings beschäftigen die Holländer sogar Kulisklaven in ihren Kriegen gegen die Atchinesen. Ferner ist zu konstatiren, daß auch englische Hafenkommandanten, die unter ihrer Jurisdiktion mit Gewalt geraubten Chinesen sich zu befreien für nicht befugt hielten und selbst deutsche Konsuln, Rheder und Kapitäne sich in dieser Hinsicht Vorwürfen ausgesetzt haben. Erst neuerdings ist, hauptsächlich auf Anregung des in dieser Weise unermüdlich thätigen General-Konsul F. I. Sturz, eine Aenderung eingetreten. Derselbe hat wiederholt auch den deutschen Reichstag durch Petitionen aufgefordert, dahin zu streben, daß allen deutschen Schiffern bei Verlust ihres Bürgerrechts die Betheiligung an diesem Handel verboten sein solle, und somit in dieser Frage auf dem Wege der Kultur voranzugehen. Leider ist, was auch immer noch geschehen könne, zu diesem \"Vorangehn\" in gewisser Weise jetzt die Zeit verpaßt, denn die Engländer haben jenen Wink nicht an sich vorübergehn lassen und Ihrer Majestät Regierung hat nun ein Gesetz dekretirt, laut dessen wenigstens im Prinzip die Scheußlichkeit des Kulihandels, wie er von Seiten der Spanier, Portugiesen und Franzosen betrieben wird, als solche gewürdigt werden. Es darf hinfort kein Chinese unter Arbeitskontrakt von Hongkong in außereenglischen Schiffen und nach anderen als englischen Häfen überhaupt auswandern, und kein fremdes Schiff in diesem Hafen für den Kulihandel in Macao ausgestattet werden. Nicht minder hat die portugiesische Regierung ein Dekret gegen den Kulihandel von Macao aus gerichtet, vermag es aber bei der tiefen Korruption ihrer Kolonialbehörden ebensowenig dasselbe in Kraft zu setzen, als sie es in früheren Zeiten auch nur einen ihrer von England erzwungenen Beschlüsse gegen den Sklavenhandel auszuführen vermochte. So wird es uns denn nur übrig bleiben, zu gemeinsamen internationalen Maßregeln anzuregen, wie sie dem Sklavenhandel gegenüber gestanden, in Hongkong den Kulihandel für Piraterei zu erklären, wie dies in der That schon vom Richterstuhl aus geschah.\n\nEs hatten sich nämlich die in Macao eingenommenen Chinesen auf dem französischen Schiffe Penelope gegen Kapitän und Mannschaft erhoben und waren an die Küste angelaufen, wo sie sich zerstreuten. Einen dieser Kulis hatte die Schiffsmannschaft nachträglich wieder festgenommen und wegen Meuterei auf hoher See vor den Oberrichter Mr. John Smale gestellt, der ihn wider Erwarten aller Betheiligten freisprach. Er erklärte Meuterei auf hoher See für gerechtfertigt, soweit sie sich gegen Kulihändler richte, denn diese seien Piraten. Für wie ungenügend die englischen Maßnahmen, welche Engländern den Kulihandel gestatten, von eben diesem Mr. Smale noch gehalten werden, geht wohl daraus hervor, daß derselbe schon im Jahre 1868 Protest gegen die fernere Gestattung der Kulianfuhr selbst nach englischen Kolonien unter den noch bestehenden Reglements erhob, ein Protest, der aber nur zu einer Beruhigung der \"so heftig angeregten Frage\" von Seiten des Gouverneurs Veranlassung gab, da die chinesische Auswanderung nach den arbeitersbedürftigen englischen Kolonien ein viel zu wichtiger Gegenstand für alle Betheiligten sei, \"als daß sie vorzeitig nur auf leichte Gründe hin aufgehoben werden könnte.\" Bei den \"mangelhaften Reglements\" wäre allerdings, wie uns scheinen will, eine andere Beschwichtigung mehr an der Stelle und zu wünschen gewesen, daß das letzte Dekret der englischen Regierung weniger einseitig ausgefallen wäre.\n\nInsofern bleibt also der deutschen Regierung noch immer der Vortritt, durch Verbot der Kulifracht in deutschen Schiffen und Beschäftigung von Kulis durch Deutsche, soweit unbillige und gewisse Normativ-Bedingungen überschreitende Paßrechte und Sohnkontrakte dabei im Spiel sind, die Nothwendigkeit der erwähnten Maßnahmen zu demonstriren. Es würde dieses Vorgehen für unser Verhältniß zu den ostasiatischen Völkern, als politische Landmacht einerseits und als zukünftige Seemacht von wesentlichem Einfluß sein und von Seiten der Japaner und Chinesen nicht ohne Erkenntlichkeit aufgenommen werden.\n\n## \nAus den verschiedensten Berichten von Augenzeugen gewinnen wir durchweg die eine unerschütterliche Ueberzeugung, daß die Lehre vom \"freien Vertrag\" sich in diesen Regionen nicht bewährt.\n\nEin solcher freier Vertrag lautet zuweilen – wenn auch selten – unverfänglich, ist aber stets die unverschlossene Thür zu den ärgsten Mißbräuchen, und dessen Unterzeichnung wird, was das abscheulichste ist, von portugiesischen Beamten, von den Chinesen im gefangenen Zustande erzwungen und von peruvianischen oder spanischen Konsuln legalisirt und mit ihrem respektiven National-Wappen versehen in einer dem Chinesen unverständlichen Sprache aufgesetzt, denn das entsprechende, nicht gleichlautende, sondern von hohen Verheißungen voll chinesische Dokument, wird ihm weggenommen, sobald man auf See ist. Der Vertrag ist dann nur rechtskräftig vor Richtern jener Länder, die, meist selbst Plantagenbesitzer, den armen Kontrahenten als guten Ersatz für die früheren Sklaven betrachten und als rechtlos laut Kontrakt behandeln. Auf diese mehr oder weniger subtile Weise werden fast alle armen Auswanderer zu den unsinnigsten Kontrakten gebunden - von denen einige sogar den Passagier für irgend eine imaginäre Summe, die man ihm vom Paßgeld will erlassen haben, auf Lebenszeit zu blindem Gehorsam verpflichten! Und dies findet nicht etwa in Macao allein, sondern auch in Swatow, in Amoy, in Foochow statt, während nebenbei noch die Möglichkeit besteht, Leute aus den besten Verhältnissen mit Gewalt wegzukapern und unter Deck einzusperren. Letzteres geschieht und geschah namentlich in den kleineren Häfen mit so unerhörter Frechheit, daß Europäer in vielen Orten sich nicht auf der Straße blicken lassen dürfen, ohne Gefahr zu laufen, der allgemeinen Wuth zum Opfer zu fallen. Andrerseits sind - und anders ließe sich das Umsichgreifen dieses Systems auch nicht erklären - trotz der größten Erbitterung des Volks die chinesischen Unterbehörden den Emigrantenkapitainen in allem bis auf den Geldpunkt sehr günstig. Trotz der bindendsten Vorschriften von Seiten der chinesischen Regierung, die ja leider eher dem Fremden jede Vergünstigung vorenthält und ihn also zur Bestechung der Beamteten selbst erzieht und nöthigt, weiß der Kulihändler sich ziemlich gut mit Hafenpolizei und Douaniers zu stellen, so daß sie selbst Menschenraub straflos begehen können, da die phlegmatischen Herren von der Behörde beneidenswerthe lange Bedenkzeit zur Disposition haben, ehe sie sich irgendwie einzuschreiten entschließen. Es steht zweifellos fest, daß sie zuvor ihren Geschäftsgenossen, den fremden Kapitän, von einem beabsichtigten Besuch benachrichtigen, worauf dieser im Nothfall echappiren und mit seinem Hause den Hafen verlassen kann. So führte im Jahre 1871 ein Engländer in Ping-o unverrichteter Sache bei den Mandarinen Klage über einen spanischen Kapitän, der bereits gegen 20 Chinesen aller Stände geraubt hatte, denn obwohl man einzuschreiten versprach, war es dem Spanier - und dennoch möglich, über Nacht den Hafen zu verlassen. Sobald vom Land hört die Gerichtsbarkeit auf.\n\nDie chinesischen Unterbehörden stehen aber nicht allein im Sold der Kulihändler selbst, sondern werden auch von den Besitzern der Spielhöllen, die in allen chinesischen Häfen zahlreich und privilegirt sind, zu Konniviren bewogen, natürlich mit demjenigen Mittel, das mehr als tausend Redner werth ist, wenn es gilt, einen Chinesen zu überzeugen. Diese Spielhöllen bilden den Abschaum für alle mauvais sujets in China und die größten Schurtereien, wie sie kaum wo anders als in China erhört sind, haben solche Treibhäuser des Lasters zur Wiege. Was man immer den Chinesen Gutes in Bezug auf Fleiß, Nüchternheit und Sparsamkeit nachsagen mag, und nachzusagen verpflichtet ist, so ist doch gewiß, daß sie fahrlässig in materieller und moralischer Hinsicht, gleichgültig gegen das Leben, fatalistisch und spielwüthig sind. Es giebt deren, die im Opiumrausch (und das Opium potenzirt all diese Laster) ihr Vermögen, und sich selbst ihre Freiheit dazu verspielen. Ist alles dahin, so nimmt man seine Arbeitskraft auf Lebenszeit zum Ginjah (gegen eine schon gewohnheitsmäßig feststehende Summe) von Seiten der Bank und ist, wie das Unglück, mehr oder weniger Eigenthum des Spielhöllenfürsten, der über Kraft und Zeit des Verlierers von dem Moment an verfügt und zwar in so ausgedehntem Maße, daß er ihn einsperren oder anderweitig vermiethen - auf Lebenszeit - also thatsächlich verkaufen kann. Dies geschieht dann auch, und da Arbeit in China selbst nicht sehr hoch im Werthe steht, auch kein Chinese sich gern mit einem dissoluten Sklaven, den er nicht kennt, auf Lebenszeit belastet, während so großes Angebot freier Arbeiter ihm zur Disposition steht, so ist es natürlich sehr viel vortheilhafter, den fremden Kapitän, der eine Fracht von Emigranten für Zucker- oder Kaffeeplantagen sucht, zum Geschäftsfreund zu haben, der einem den Landsmann und Kompatrioten gern für eine gute Entschädigung abnimmt.

Cette année même, le budget d'Alsace-Lorraine leur accorde 240,810 marks pour dépenses ordinaires, et 21,930 marks pour dépenses extraordinaires: soit, ensemble, 262,740 m. ou 328,450 francs, contre 362,760 marks attribués en 1876 aux instituts et aux laboratoires de l'Université de Strasbourg. Il y a 668,870 marks inscrits au même titre sur le budget de la Prusse pour l'Université de Berlin; 306,746 m. pour l'Université de Konigsberg; 338,764 marks pour l'Université de Bonn.

Ces chiffres n'ont pas besoin d'autre commentaire. J'ajouterai seulement, en manière de comparaison, que, pour un crédit annuel de 328,450 francs, attribué aux laboratoires et aux collections de l'Université de Strasbourg, bibliothèque non comprise, le total des sommes portées au budget de 1871, en France, pour entretien et renouvellement des collections, établissement des laboratoires, frais de manipulations et de cours de toutes les Facultés des sciences, des Facultés de médecine et des Écoles supérieures du pays entier, ne dépasse pas 341,000 francs. Si, dans les principaux établissements du haut enseignement en France, les instruments de travail manquent ou sont beaucoup trop restreints, nous ne nous plaindrons pas de voir l'administration de l'Alsace-Lorraine faire plus largement les choses à Strasbourg. L'exemple donné sera bon à suivre, car, dans l'état actuel de la science, l'enseignement oral ne suffit plus. Sans peine de déchéance, l'enseignement doit s'appuyer sur l'expérimentation, sur les exercices pratiques du laboratoire, travail également indispensable pour les élèves et pour les maîtres, et sans lequel il n'y a point de progrès possible. Pour compléter les chiffres donnés ci-dessus, disons encore que, sur nombre de 677 étudiants immatriculés en 1870 à l'Université de Strasbourg, nous comptons seulement 106 Alsaciens-Lorrains pour l'étude de la théologie protestante, de la pharmacie et de la médecine. L'Université nouvelle a été fondée par décret impérial du 28 avril 1872, en remplacement de l'Académie établie en 1808, qui succéda elle-même, après la Révolution de 1789, à l'ancienne Université érigée par une ordonnance de l'empereur Maximilien Ier, en date du 1er juin 1566, à la demande du magistrat de Strasbourg.\n\nCHARLES GRAD.\n\nL'OUVERTURE DU TONG-KIN AU COMMERCE EUROPÉEN.\n\nL'EXPLORATION DU SONG-KOÏ.\n\nOn a raconté ici-même comment la deuxième expédition envoyée par les Anglais afin de reconnaître les jalons d'une route commerciale entre le Barma britannique et la Chine occidentale avait échoué d'une façon si tragique. On constatait en même temps que, la route par Bhamo écartée, au moins provisoirement et pour longtemps peut-être, et le grand fleuve de la Cochinchine française étant impraticable dans sa partie moyenne, la solution la plus naturelle du problème semblait être de recourir au Song-Koï, ou fleuve Rouge, grand cours d'eau qui se déverse, par un large delta, dans le golfe du Tong-Kin, et que notre intrépide compatriote, M. Jean Dupuis, négociant à Han-Kéou (Chine centrale), avait reconnu offrir, sur un parcours de 800 kilomètres, une communication non interrompue entre le littoral et le cours même de l'Yûn-Nân.\n\nLes faits qui se rattachent à la tentative de M. Dupuis sont peu ou point connus en Europe. L'opinion publique s'est un instant éveillée chez nous à la nouvelle inattendue qu'une poignée de Français, guidés par le lieutenant de vaisseau Francis Garnier, l'éminent explorateur du Mé-Kong, avait emporté d'assaut, le 20 novembre 1873, la citadelle de Ha-Noi, défendue par des milliers de soldats annamites; de même qu'elle devait s'émouvoir plus tard en apprenant que, à un mois à peine d'intervalle, le chef de cette expédition tombait, dans une sortie, sous les coups de bandits embusqués qui le perçaient de leurs lances et lui coupaient la tête. Puis le silence s'est fait de nouveau autour de ces événements, qui avaient le double tort de se passer si loin, et de tomber au milieu des plus vives préoccupations politiques. On n'en connaissait pas mieux la nature et les détails qu'on n'en appréciait la portée et les conséquences possibles. Éclaircir les uns et faire ressortir les autres, telle est la pensée des lignes qui vont suivre, et qui sont écrites sur les notes manuscrites que M. Dupuis a bien voulu nous remettre lui-même. L'explorateur du fleuve Rouge se trouve actuellement à Paris, et il y est venu dans l'espoir d'intéresser ses concitoyens au succès définitif d'une œuvre à laquelle, pour son propre compte, il a consacré toutes ses forces et sacrifié sa fortune.\n\nM. Dupuis arrivait au Céleste-Empire en 1868, et, dès l'année suivante, il quittait Shang-Haï en compagnie de M. Eugène Simon, aujourd'hui consul de France à Sydney, pour s'enfoncer dans l'intérieur du pays et remonter jusqu'au Thibet, s'il était possible. Mais l'état troublé du Sze-Tchuen, que désolait alors la guerre civile, les força de s'arrêter à Han-Kéou, où ils devançaient tous les autres Européens. En 1871, M. Dupuis eut quelques rapports avec la mission Morel et Blakiston, qui remontait alors le Yang-Tse-Kiang dans un but commercial, et ces rapports attirèrent son attention sur le fleuve Rouge, que, dès lors, il se promit d'explorer un jour ou l'autre. Il y avait évidemment de grandes difficultés dans une pareille tâche; mais M. Dupuis, qui avait déjà parcouru une grande partie de la Chine, qui en connaissait parfaitement la langue et s'était créé de grandes relations avec les mandarins, M. Dupuis espérait bien les vaincre. Dans ces conditions, il s'apprêtait, en 1872, à se mettre en route, lorsqu'il apprit qu'une commission française venait d'être formée afin de chercher, par la voie du Mé-Kong, cette route commerciale vers l'ouest de la Chine que lui-même entrevoyait dans le fleuve du Tong-Kin. Le Mé-Kong, débouchant dans une possession française, répondait mieux que toute autre voie aux besoins mêmes qui préoccupaient notre compatriote, et il jugea convenable d'attendre ce qui résulterait de son exploration. Mais lorsque, deux ans plus tard, il eut appris des membres mêmes de l'expédition que le Mé-Kong ne pouvait être utilisé au point de vue commercial, sa résolution fut prise et, au moment même où le major Sladen, remontant l'Irawaddy, allait à Momien, il prenait lui-même la route du Yun-Nan.\n\nMandarin à bouton rouge, grade qui correspond dans la hiérarchie chinoise à notre généralat de brigade, M. Dupuis put parcourir au grand jour toute la distance qui le séparait...\n\nPage 129\n\n(1) Voir, dans l'Économiste Français du 2 septembre 1876: les Routes commerciales entre l'Indo-Chine et la Chine, etc.\n\nOffice or Individual.\n\nNo. 15253\n\n(Subject.)\n\nRECEIVED\n\n28 DEC 1876\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\n331\n\nFor Office Proceed of Suez relative to demand of the\n\nDate.\n\n1876\n\nDec 26\n\nLast previous Paper\n\n14706.\n\nBest\n\npirms.\n\nTelegram BGN - 27 Jan 187\n\nGW-2-2-\n\nHaßer\n\n158\n\n366\n\nE.

The following letter, received from Captain Mies of the brig `Rio Loge`, relative to the position of Rennels and Bellona Islands, is published for general information.\n\nG. GREY.\n\n### RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878.\n\nSIR-I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig `Rio Loge`. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as \"doubtful\" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12' south latitude, and 160° 10' east longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30' south latitude, and 160° 8' east longitude, making an error of 18' in latitude and 2' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the N.W. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.E. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 49' east, approximate. Rennels Island and Bellona bear from each other N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.\n\nI cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:-\n\nRennels Island is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 600 to 800 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.\n\nTrusting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nEDWARD MILES,\nMaster `Rio Loge`.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JANUARY, 1879.\n\n### Government of India.\n\n## DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, AGRICULTURE, AND COMMERCE.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27.]\n\nBAY OF BENGAL-GODAVERY DISTRICT-COCANADA. Intended Exhibition of Revolving light at Vakalepudi.\n\nNotice is hereby given that owing to the extension of the mud deposits from the Godavery river and the consequent removal of the anchorage to the northward, the light at present shown on the north side of the entrance to the Cocanada river is of little use, and that on and after the 15th of January 1879 this light will be extinguished, and a new light exhibited at Vakalapudi, which lies 4.0 nautical miles N. by E. ¼ E. from the present light-house.\n\nThe light will be a revolving white light, showing a flash every 20 seconds, elevated 80 feet above high water, and in clear weather should be visible from a distance of 14 miles, in every direction seaward.\n\nThe illuminating apparatus is catadioptric, or by reflectors and lenses of the fourth order. Position: Latitude 17° 0' 40\" N., longitude 82° 16' 30\" E. Further notice will be given when the light is exhibited.\n\n[The bearings are Magnetic, Variation 2° 0' Easterly in 1878.]\n\nBy Direction of the Government of India,\n\nR. C.

At the same time, he thinks it only fair to Mr. Nicolle to point out that it is a mistake to suppose that he derives any emolument from Imperial funds. Whatever arrangement may be come to in the future, there is no immediate prospect of his being employed for Imperial purposes, and the Comptroller and Auditor General is not aware of his receiving any remuneration from the Colony or from local Bodies.

The importance of this is \nobvious, and the Resident Engineer is as well aware of this as \nI am. \n\nAs I am responsible for the scheme of water distribution; \nand in order to support the Resident Engineer in his efforts \ntowards the reduction of waste, I have the honour to recommend \nthat this report be submitted to the Government of Hong-Kong. \n\nIt is obvious that the Resident Engineer should be \nprovided with ample appliances to facilitate the operation \nwhich he is about to commence.... I consider, therefore, that \nthree waste-detecting meters should be purchased and forwarded, \nwithout waiting for a regular indent from Hong Kong. \n\nI find that Messrs Tylor & Son can supply a waste-detecting meter which will be as efficient as that of Decon, whilst \nthe cost is only about £15 instead of £40, and the instrument \nis less bulky and more portable. \n\nI have, therefore, the honour to recommend that three \nwaste-detecting meters be ordered at once, from Messrs Tylor \n& Son, according to a specification which I will submit. The \ncost will be about £50, a sum which may be met out of the estimates of the year. \n\nBefore proceeding to a discussion of the facts, which \nthe Resident Engineer has laid before me, I would say that we \nwere both fully aware that there would be great waste, and that \nit must be checked. We did not consider it practicable or \npolitic to commence operations for reducing it, till the \nmains were completed, so that a constant supply might be given \nthroughout the City. \n\n(", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-252 - Acting Governor Barker & Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1891 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 350382, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-257 - Public Offices & Others - 1892", "page_number": 49, "title": "CO129-257 - Public Offices & Others - 1892", "content_text": "## Agreement 8321\n\n48\n\n**C.

It is probable that nearer 10,000 than 2,000 were infected in the neighbourhood of Tai-ping-shan. At one time there were as many as 15 deaths a night on board British steamers leaving Hong Kong at 6 p.m. and reaching Canton at 6 a.m. next morning. All these were persons apparently well when they walked on board in Hong Kong or they would not have been admitted.\n\nTrouble in Canton was a consequence of measures taken in Hong Kong to stay the plague.\n\nAt once, on the plague declaring itself in Hong Kong, the Government ordered that all patients were to be moved to a Hospital ship - the `Hygeia` - moored in the Harbour. Unfortunately, the Chinese have a poor opinion of foreign medicine and a vivid mental picture of the Foreign surgeon as a ruthless demon armed with steel, delighting in slashing up the human body, a practice condemned by Confucian Ethics as a breach of the duty that, to quote a commentator, \"we got our bodies perfect from our parents and should so preserve them to the last\".

Juli 1879 und unter Aufhebung der früheren Verordnung vom 1. Februar 1879 verordnet das Kaiserlich Deutsche Konsulat in Ansehung der Beförderung chinesischer Passagiere auf deutschen Schiffen nach überseeischen Ländern wie folgt:\n\n### §1\nDeutsche Segel- und Dampf-Schiffe, welche mehr als 80 chinesische Passagiere aus einem der geöffneten Häfen Chinas nach überseeischen Ländern befördern und auf welche die Verordnung, betreffend die Beförderung chinesischer Passagiere auf deutschen Schiffen in den ostasiatischen Gewässern, keine Anwendung findet, sind den nachfolgenden Bestimmungen unterworfen. Deck-Passagiere sind nicht gestattet.\n\n### §2\nFür jeden über 12 Jahre alten Zwischendeck-Passagier, beziehungsweise für je 2 Kinder zwischen 1 und 12 Jahren, muss eine Fläche von mindestens 1,11 Quadratmetern = 12 englischen Quadrat-Fuß und ein Luftraum von 2,19 Kubikmetern = 73 englischen Kubik-Fuß im Zwischendeck, sowie außerdem eine Fläche von 0,48 Quadratmetern = 6 englischen Quadrat-Fuß auf dem Oberdeck freigelassen werden. Chinesische Ärzte, Dolmetscher, Köche und Stewards gelten als Passagiere. Der für die weiblichen Passagiere im Zwischendeck bestimmte Raum muss von demjenigen für die männlichen Passagiere getrennt sein.\n\n### §3\nDas Zwischendeck soll gehörig ventiliert, das Schiff mit einer hinreichenden Anzahl von Latrinen, Kochplätzen, sowie mit genügend großen Leitern zwischen Ober- und Zwischendeck versehen sein. Es müssen wenigstens 4 Rettungsboote und nach Verhältnis der eingenommenen Passagiere mindestens die nachfolgende Anzahl von Bauten vorhanden sein.\n\n### §4\nFür die Beförderung von Kranken ist ein angemessener Raum, und zwar 20 Quadrat-Fuß für je 100 Passagiere, als Krankenraum in entsprechender Weise herzurichten. Der für die Kranken in Anspruch genommene Raum soll bei der Veranschlagung der Fassungsfähigkeit des Schiffes nicht in Abzug gebracht werden.\n\n### §5\nAn Bord eines jeden Schiffes hat mindestens ein Arzt und ein Dolmetscher zu sein; für mehr als 500 Passagiere sind mindestens je 2, für mehr als 1.000 Passagiere mindestens je 3 Ärzte und Dolmetscher erforderlich. Chinesische wie nicht-chinesische Ärzte haben die Berechtigung zur Ausübung der ärztlichen Praxis vorher nachzuweisen.\n\n### §6\nJeder Schiff muss mit hinreichenden Arzneimiteln versehen sein, über deren Art und Menge erforderlichen Falls Ärzte entscheiden: ein vom Schiffer und Schiffsarzt beglaubigtes Verzeichnis der Arzneien ist mindestens 3 Tage vor Abfahrt des Schiffes dem Kaiserlichen Konsulat einzureichen.\n\n### §7\nSämtliche Passagiere haben sich, bevor sie das Schiff betreten, einer ärztlichen Untersuchung zu unterwerfen; lebensgefährlich Kranke oder mit ansteckenden Krankheiten Behaftete werden nicht aufgenommen. Eine von dem begleitenden Arzt ausgestellte Bescheinigung über die stattgehabte Untersuchung hat der Schiffer vor Abgang des Schiffes dem Kaiserlichen Konsulat vorzulegen.\n\n### §8\nPassagiere und deren Gepäck dürfen erst nach Einnahme der gesamten Ladung an Bord genommen werden.\n\n### §9\nDie zwischen den Auswanderern und deren künftigen Arbeitgebern abgeschlossenen Verträge müssen dem Kaiserlichen Konsulat zur Einsicht und Prüfung vorgelegt werden: widersprechen die Vertragsbedingungen den Forderungen von Recht und Billigkeit, so ist das Kaiserliche Konsulat befugt, das Auslaufen des Schiffes zu verhindern.\n\n### §10\nBei Abfahrt des Schiffes sollen für jeden Passagier pro Tag, der durch das Kaiserliche Konsulat festzustellenden Normal-Reisedauer, an Bord mindestens vorhanden sein: Reis, getrockneter oder frischer Fisch, Gemüse, Tee usw.\n\n### §11\nDrei Tage vor Abgang des Schiffes hat der Schiffer ein beglaubigtes Verzeichnis der an Bord genommenen Vorräte dem Kaiserlichen Konsulat einzureichen.\n\n### §12\nSpätestens 3 Tage vor der Abfahrt, und zwar vor Einnahme der Passagiere, hat der Schiffer den Namen des Schiffes, die Größenverhältnisse der Decksräume, den Bestimmungsort dem Kaiserlichen Konsulat anzugeben, worauf diese Behörde, erforderlichen Falls nach Besichtigung des Schiffes und Vermessung der zur Aufnahme der Auswanderer bestimmten Räumlichkeiten durch einen Sachverständigen, die zulässige Anzahl der von dem Schiffe zu führenden Passagiere bezeichnet.\n\n### §13\nUnmittelbar vor Abgang des Schiffes hat der Schiffer die vorhandene Anzahl der Passagiere dem Kaiserlichen Konsulat anzuzeigen, welches dieselben alsdann an Bord zählen lässt und sich durch den Augenschein davon überzeugt, dass die Vorschriften dieser Verordnung tunlichst erfüllt sind. Ist dies geschehen, so werden dem Schiffer die Schiffspapiere nebst einer Bescheinigung über die Zahl der tatsächlich mitgenommenen, sowie über die höchst zulässige Anzahl der von dem Schiffe zu führenden Passagiere ausgehändigt.\n\n### §14\nNach Empfang dieser Bescheinigung darf das Schiff im Abgangshafen weitere Passagiere nicht ohne Bewilligung des Konsulats aufnehmen.\n\n### §15\nFür die zu bezahlenden Gebühren ist der Gebührentarif vom 1. Juli 1872 maßgebend.\n\n### §16\nMindestens ein deutsches Exemplar dieser Verordnung sowie eine chinesische Übersetzung derselben ist an einer hierzu geeigneten, allen Passagieren zugänglichen Stelle des Schiffes anzubringen.\n\n### §17\nFür jede Zuwiderhandlung gegen diese Verordnung ist eine Geldstrafe bis zu 150 Reichsmark angedroht.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 364\n\nDas Kaiserlich Deutsche Konsulat.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-273 -

The correspondence on this subject took place in September, 1906.\n\n6.\n\nI have on previous occasions referred Your Excellency to what I consider the state of stagnation into which the Supreme Court had been allowed to fall. (I allude specially to the concluding paragraph of my letter of 7th February, 1908). I have been trying to restore it to the position in which it ought to hold in so wealthy a Colony, and with it to obtain for the Judges more consideration from the Government than it has been hitherto customary to accord to them. I have little doubt that this unfortunate minute of Sir G. Phillippo, and the still more unfortunate construction that has been placed upon it, have had a large share in bringing about the state of things which I have endeavoured to report to Your Excellency. The question is so important that I have the honour to request that Your Excellency will be good enough to grant me an interview in which I can go more fully into the question than is possible in a letter,\n\n## Excellency \n\nSir Frederick Lugard, K.C.M.G., Governor of Hongkong.\n\nI have etc..\n\n(sd.)

He had studied the subject on the spot and had travelled into the vast provinces of the west of China which produced enormous quantities of opium. Having travelled 1,000 miles upon the Yang-tsze River, he had, at one point, to pick his way through piles of cases of opium that had come, not from India, but from the poppy-fields of the west for export to the eastern provinces, and 1,000 miles further » he was in a district which produced four times as much opium as came from India. They must endeavour to assist the Chinese Government to stamp out the evil at its root, and that was the enormous production of opium in China itself. Powerful forces weighed in the scale in favour of increasing the native production. The Chinese Government derived a revenue of 7,000,000l. from taxation on opium. Again, the officials who were relied on to stamp out the evil were, in a large number of cases, very largely interested in the continuation of the production in China. The Report of the Philippine Commissioners stated that they had ascertained that certain of the high officials who wrote the most eloquent letters condemning the traffic and appealing to foreign nations to prevent the introduction of opium into China were believed to have steadily increased the areas of cultivation in their own domains. That was one of the great evils that they had to guard against. Another reason while the people of China were necessarily very much inclined to continue to produce opium in the same quantities at the present time was that the crop was very much more valuable than ordinary cereals, the proportion of profit being 5l. 16s. 8d, for an acre producing raw opium to 4l. 5s. 6d for an acre of wheat. While travelling in Szechuan, he had inquired into this matter among European missionaries, Chinese merchants, and coolies. In more instances than not he found that the peasants were simply jubilant at the idea of a cessation of the importation of Indian opium. What was the reason of their jubilation? Not that they were desirous of coming to the relief of the victims of opium, but because they saw the prospect of administering to these people in the future an amount of opium one-tenth greater than they were able to at the present time. He did not deny that there were many cases in which the men of China were undoubtedly sincere in their endeavour to rid themselves of this horrible evil. The salutary public opinion which was gradually springing up was doing an immense amount of good in educating people, but this public opinion had great odds against it at the present time, and if they were to carry out the policy advocated by the honourable member for Nuneaton they they would give a stimulus to the production of opium in Western China which no rules or regulations could possibly prevent. The statements in the White Paper bore out his contention that there was an immense difficulty in the way of putting down what, after all, was the root of the evil, the production of opium in China itself, and therefore he desired to emphasize as strongly as he could that the best, indeed, the only, policy which it was possible for this country to pursue, if it was really and sincerely desirous of assisting the Chinese Government in its task was the policy now being pursued by the Government of reducing the export of opium from India to China, not immediately, but in the same proportion as, and pari passu with, the reduction of the production of opium in China itself. He hoped the House would be disposed to give the Government every credit for carrying out what they honestly believed, as he believed, to be the only satisfactory policy with regard to this question.\n\nMr. Ellis (Nottingham, Rushcliffe) thought there had been a distinct march forward that evening. They were in sight of the end of this evil. It had been twice declared in that House that the opium trade was morally indefensible, and in these circumstances it could not be ended too soon. The Chinese welcomed the declaration of the Secretary for India in 1901 that the Government would agree with them in any plan for the restriction of the consumption of opium brought forward in good faith, even if it cost them some sacrifice. Could any one have the slightest doubt as to the sincerity of the Government of the Chinese Empire? We might look to China with the utmost hope. Financially the reform was within reach in India. We need trouble ourselves no longer about the financial aspect, because the Viceroy himself had said we could not refuse to assist China on the ground of loss of revenue. As to the date when prohibition should come into force, if there was any proposal from China for shortening the period he thought we ought to welcome the shortening. (Hear, hear.)\n\nMr. Meysey-Thompson (Stafford, Handsworth) said he had just returned from India, and he knew the grave difficulties in the way of the suppression of the opium traffic there. They were all agreed that opium dens should be put down; but a large number of Indians used opium to a small degree without any real harm to their health. Many of them believed that it was a valuable febrifuge, and it was eaten in those districts which suffered most severely from fever. If they put down the opium traffic suddenly they would drive the people to alcohol, cocaine, and Indian hemp, and worse results\n\n5:\n\nwould follow. If China honestly determined to restrict the use of opium we should give her all the help in our power. By taking too rapid a stride they would cause a reaction, and create evils greater than those that now existed. He congratulated the Government on the strong action they had taken, and he hoped they would not allow themselves to be forced by well-meaning but impractical people to go faster than they thought it was wise to go.\n\nSir H. Cotton pointed out that the argument that it would be difficult to compensate the Indian cultivators of the poppy proceeded upon a serious fallacy, because the Indian cultivators frequently protested against this cultivation. They would rather be free to cultivate what they liked, because the cultivation of other crops would be more profitable to them.\n\nSir J. Kennaway (Devon, Honiton) expressed his lively satisfaction at the progress made in this question by this evening's debate and at the active steps taken by the Government.\n\nMr. Bennett (Oxfordshire, Woodstock) said that among the many Oriental students at Oxford he had never met one who was not in deadly earnest in this matter. The only hostility arose from officials and traders. The suggestion that the moral responsibility of this country depended on the attitude of China would not hold water. He congratulated the Government on what was the most hopeful outlook that had ever been presented on this question. He had never had a more painful shock than when he heard Mr. Morley say that nothing could be done because of the revenue difficulty. The White Paper stated the official mind in India as being opposed to any increase in the rate of import duty levied on the imports of opium in China. While India levied a tax for her own revenue purposes, she yet denied the right of another country to levy a duty for a moral purpose. revenue difficulty was, no doubt, a serious one in India, but many honourable Members thought that the military expenditure might be lessened in order to secure the 3,000,000l. needed to clear our consciences of this abominable curse.\n\nThe\n\nSir E. Grey (Northumberland, Berwick),-I should like cordially to indorse the remark made by my honourable friend the seconder of this Resolution when he gave to the House of Commons the credit for the progress which has been made in this question owing to the line it took in the debate two years ago and on other occasions in recent years. I think he is justified in claiming for the consistent, strenuous, and repeated expression of opinion by the British House of Commons a real effect in making progress in the opium question in China. But though I am prepared to guardedly follow the line he and other speakers have taken during the debate, I doubt if I shall satisfy the honourable gentleman who has just sat down, and I cannot agree with the criticisms he passed on the language used by my noble friend the Secretary of State for India two years ago, which, I think, are not justified. It is true that the promise made by my noble friend two years ago was guarded, but it was followed by a large measure of fulfilment (hear, hear); the words were careful, but the performance has been up to the level of the words. (Hear, hear.) If the language was cautious, it was because, as everyone who has followed the public career of my noble friend will appreciate, he is exceedingly chary in raising expectations that he may think not easy of fulfilment. It is true he pointed out difficulties, and it is no good ignoring difficulties. It is part of the duty of a Minister to point out difficulties that cannot be ignored and which sooner or later, whether they are ignored or not, will have to be encountered. He has to point out the difficulties, and if he does not no one else will do so, and the House will not have full information. My noble friend did point out the difficulties, but it is a wrong construction to place upon his speech to say that he pointed out the difficulties in order to plead them as excuses for not doing anything at all. Clearly that was not his object.\n\nMr. Bennett said that was not his intention.\n\nSir E. Grey.-I think I shall be in the recollection of the House in saying that the honourable gentleman referred to the fact that the Secretary of State for India quoted official opinion in India, and he criticized the speech as giving too much importance to official opinion. My noble friend stated the difficulties of the case that the House might be aware of them; but, as his action has shown (and the Under-Secretary for India can bear me out), there has been no intention on the part of the Secretary of State, of the India Office, or of officials to plead difficulties as excuses for not doing anything. As a matter of fact, the policy of the Indian Government has been to convince the Chinese Government that they are in earnest in this matter by proceeding with large instalments of reductions in exports.\n\nNow I go\n\nThe\n\nto one or two questions with which the Foreign Office is specially concerned.\n\n[2967 g-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417885, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 597, "title": "CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "593\n\n4\n\ndeal with the question.

Ignorant natives may be made to believe by demagogues and agitators that foreigners are responsible for innovations such as railways, schools, mints, arsenals, census, reformed police, &c., which are to their minds a mere excuse for further exactions by the officials. In all these cases the only thing to do is for the consular officers to bring the matter to the notice of the local authorities, and it would appear that hitherto a certain measure of success has attended such action.\n\nThere is, however, another force with which we have to reckon and that is the native press, which teems with similar harangues as to the aggression of foreign Powers.\n\nWhat Mr. Little says as to the anti-foreign tendency of the native press contains little that has not often been said before, though manifestly its evil influence penetrates further and further as the number and circulation of the newspapers increase. This I am afraid will continue to be the case as long as the native press is in the hands of a set of irresponsible half-educated scribblers who possess just enough education to wilfully mislead their still more ignorant compatriots without realising the possible disastrous consequences of their folly.\n\nTowards the end of last, and in the early part of the present year the native press teemed with references to foreign designs on China, to impending troubles in Manchuria, &c., and to the consequent necessity of universal military training to repel the threatened invasion. The wild scheme for paying off the national debt by voluntary subscriptions was universally advocated as the best means of depriving foreign Governments of all right to intervene in the affairs of China. Violent and revolutionary statements appeared attacking the Central Government and all officials for their venality and subservience to foreign influence and for their connivance in a secret invasion of China and encroachment on Chinese rights by loans, railways, mining concessions and trading facilities.\n\nThe refusal of the Central Government to consent to the immediate opening of the National Assembly, and their action in limiting the discussions of the provincial assemblies were vehemently criticised, as was the refusal of the local authorities in certain towns to countenance military training and the distribution of arms among the schools, and approving references were printed to the scheme of political assassination in India as proving that even the most down-trodden race could have sufficient courage for such a step.\n\nIn connection with this subject I beg to enclose a memorandum on the attitude of the native press written by Dr. Timothy Richards and Mr. Cornabe, well-known members of the editorial staff of the Christian Literature Society for China. I had an opportunity of reading this memorandum when I was in Shanghae, early in January, but I did not receive a copy of it till so much later as to render it rather out of date. I must say that here too the tendency appears to me to be unjustifiably pessimistic and when the two authors compare the signs of the times now and in 1899, as has frequently been done of late, they appear to me to forget that in 1900 the Court went mad and took the lead in the \"kill the foreigner\" movement, and no one can honestly say that up to the present there is any sign of Chinese officialdom, either at the capital or in the provinces, contemplating a similar act of suicidal madness.\n\nI have lately discussed his own memorandum with Dr. Richards and he frankly admits that it was too alarmist. He has since then been in contact with some of the editors of the Shanghae native papers, and has pointed out to them the folly and danger as regards their own country of stirring up this anti-foreign feeling till it may pass beyond control, and it would appear that the tone of the Shanghae press, and indeed of the native press generally, has become somewhat modified in this respect of late. I am afraid that it is extremely difficult if not impossible for any foreign agency to counteract the pernicious influence of the Chinese press. This makes it doubly regrettable when one sees the native papers drawing their weapons of attack from foreign sources, as has lately been the case in regard to the anti-British campaign directed by the press bureau of the Wai-wu Pu and largely inspired by Mr. Ohl, the \"New York Herald\" correspondent. That the Chinese Government, on the other hand, can control the press, if they really wish to, was shown last year by the cessation of criticism of Japanese policy during the Sino-Japanese negotiations in regard to pending questions in Manchuria.\n\nWhat Mr. Little says as to the demands of the students in various schools to be given arms and to be allowed to drill is, I believe, true, though my information goes to show that this movement met with little encouragement at the hands of the authorities. Curiously enough agitations of this description took place in several missionary schools, and when I was at Shanghae I heard of the case of a Catholic school where an anti-foreign agitation was discovered by the fact of all the students concerned arranging to take the communion together. In Hünnan, where the anti-foreign feeling has always been specially strong, it was still further intensified by the partition rumours, and the students requested the governor to issue arms to them and were severely reprimanded for doing so; while it is said that the hero of the cut-off finger episode, reported by Mr. Little, was bastinadoed. At a public meeting of the law students at Changsha, it was decided that the Nationals of the Power which made the first war-like demonstration against Hünnan should be massacred, but that other foreigners should be protected; but on His Majesty's Consul discussing this resolution with the governor, his Excellency asserted that he was complete master of the situation so long as we took no actively aggressive action in regard to certain pending cases. His Excellency explained that the rumours were believed only by students and gentry and not by the officials, merchants, and people, and that as long as this was the case immediate trouble need not be feared. In the case of certain small disturbances last December, which arose out of a strike of masons and carpenters, the governor took prompt and successful measures. I cannot, therefore, agree with Mr. Little when he says that the Government instead of checking this absurd movement are doing nothing of the sort, and that when they are not actively encouraging it by permitting the students to enrol and actually issuing arms, they are standing aloof and permitting without any protest the movement to develop.\n\nWhen I was in Changsha at the end of October my wife and I walked for hours in the narrow streets of the city, and though we were the objects of inconvenient curiosity, I saw no signs of hostility on the part of the crowd. Since then, however, I have heard from Mr. Hewlett that menacing remarks have been addressed to him and his wife in the streets, but he did not regard these as a sign of imminent trouble.\n\nIn regard to the neighbouring province of Hupei, His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow wrote at the close of last year that no definite warning of coming trouble had yet reached him, but that the rise in prices due to the depreciation of the copper currency, the great distress due to the floods, and the many deaths due to starvation, cold, and disease among the numerous refugees did not make for an orderly winter in that part of the province.\n\nThere has been a singular absence of missionary disturbances of late, and such disturbances as have occurred in various parts of China during the past few months appear to me to have been primarily directed against the authorities, and not against foreigners, and in most cases to have been created by mutinous soldiery. It is inevitable in such a country as China that in any sudden local riot foreigners are likely to become the object of the attack of the rioters; this is a danger which it is impossible to foretell or to guard against; but I cannot justly say that I have noticed any hesitation on the part of the Chinese Government and of the local authorities to take prompt and efficacious measures for the protection of the lives and property of foreigners, whenever they have been threatened.\n\nOne of the rumours that I have gathered on my travels was that there was a\n\n70", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428989, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 330, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "The few travellers who have made a rapid crossing of the Salween during the dry and bright winter months have been inclined to ridicule the native traditions, which regard the river with a superstitious horror. Various colours are reported to rise in the rains, bringing death and destruction to all who are caught; monsters are believed to lurk in the waters for the unwary boatmen; and there are few who will venture near the banks when once the summer rains are set.\n\nOne needs only to see the men who pass their lives in the valley to realise that there is something in this deep, hemmed-in valley which is inimical to human life and health; their enlarged spleens, their pinched and discoloured faces, and their lifeless manner all bear traces of a constant malaria, and their report that the demon of the mists first strikes men dumb, then dooms them to a lingering death, seems a probable sign of a virulent malaria which affects the brain, and from which, in its advanced stages, there is no hope of recovery. In talking to an old Lisu, to whom I had entrusted some quinine, I ventured to suggest the theory of mosquitoes in relation to malaria, and the prophylactic properties of the tabloids of quinine; he shook his head, paid a compliment to the wisdom of the West, promised to dose himself and his people as directed, and remarked sadly that he feared those words could scarcely be relied on, that he was an old man, and that the vapours were an explanation sufficient for him.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nIn conclusion, I can only add that my visit to Pienma (Hpimaw) removes all doubt as to the reality of the raid by Tengkeng, and to the extent of the damage inflicted on the people. I trust that my action in crossing the range will not be considered in excess of my instructions, as I was faced by unexpected conditions and decided on the course which appeared to give the best hope of obtaining accurate information for His Majesty's Government without prejudice to the Chinese under whose auspices my journey was undertaken, whilst I am convinced that no information would have been available at Tengkeng. I was careful to explain to the villagers in the unadministered territory that I had no power to settle cases or to appoint headmen, and that my visit was merely for purposes of enquiry into the raid. After careful consideration, I am convinced that the Chinese exercise no sort of administrative control beyond the watershed, and that their hold over the people has considerably weakened since the report of Mr. Litton, dated the 20th May, 1905. For the past two years, there has been no payment even of the petty tolls claimed by Tengkeng, and, in the words of the villagers, the administrative efforts of his representatives have been confined to \"eating the people,\" a duty which they perform with some enthusiasm if one may judge from the list of pigs, wine, and grain entered to the account of the raiding levies, or to the official requisitions foreshadowing the advent of the magistrate of Paoshan.\n\nAt the same time, there is conclusive proof that the Chinese authorities have determined to make a last bid for control of this area, as evidenced by the visits of deputies of the Yungchang Prefect in the autumn of 1908 and during the present month; by the proclamations regarding the establishment of schools; and by the proposal to appoint headmen, for which the way was paved by the raid of the Tengkeng Sawba after his return from a visit to Yungchang; whilst additional evidence is provided by the grant of a concession in the autumn of 1909 to the Chinese trader Li Fa-ming to work salt and silver in the neighbourhood. The reasons for this sudden access of activity may, I think, be traced in part to the failing revenues of Tengkeng consequent on the prohibition of opium cultivation and their indirect effect on the income of the Paoshan magistrate and the Yungchang Prefect, but more directly to a general aggressive spirit in regard to frontier policy which owes its inception to Chin Shu-sheng, ex-Taotai of Tengyueh, and now provincial judge, and to Peng Chi-chih, the ex-Frontier commissioner, who is now Prefect of Yungchang. The effect of Tengkeng's raid has been very definite; the Pienma villagers, and in all probability those also in other parts of the unadministered territory, evidently believe that their homes are in British territory; they have resisted Tengkeng and his claims with some spirit, but they feel that he is too strong for them, and they have bowed to his present authority, as they have for the moment ceased to hope for relief from the direction of Burma.\n\nThe departure of the Paoshan magistrate, who has never before visited Tengkeng, at a time when the prefect also was absent from Yungchang, is an event of so exceptional a character that there can be no doubt of the intention of the Chinese to push the advantage by every means in their power, and I submit that there is no alternative for the Government of Burma but to arrange an administrative expedition in the early autumn, if they intend to assert their claim to the watershed boundary without an appeal to arms. I am of opinion also that, if the Chinese should successfully establish themselves in the Pienma district, they will not rest until they have pushed their outposts to the N'Maikha, or even beyond that line, and His Majesty's Government is in possession of the facts which render such a frontier undesirable. In a recent conversation, the Taotai formulated to me the belief that Great Britain had stolen from China the whole of the country of Burma, a superstition which is widely current in Yunnan, and he also spoke of the frontier as 70 or 80 miles east of the Salween-Irrawaddy watershed, which would carry back the boundary to the limits of the Irrawaddy itself, as was claimed by Sir Lo Feng Lu. In recent despatches (of the 3rd March and the 5th April, 1910) I have had the honour to bring to your attention the vigorous efforts which are being made by the Yunnanese authorities to extend their administrative border, and the claims which they have brought forward in regard to other sections of the Burma-China boundary; the line to the east of the Wa country is still unaccepted. Representatives of the Wei-hsi Ting are reported to make frequent visits to the Chiu-tzu country west of the watershed (in latitude 27-28); a number of British boundary pillars on the section between the Taping and Namting Rivers are called in question, and I respectfully submit that some action for the definite establishment of the entire frontier line will be necessary in the near future, unless the Government of Burma is willing to reopen the whole threadbare question. By the institution of a series of petty intrigues, the Chinese evidently hope for an eventual revision of the years of laborious work spent by successive frontier commissions, maintaining as their objective the acquisition of territory and outlets, which are obviously desirable for the landlocked province of Yunnan, which formed the motive and incentive of every Chinese war with the old Burmese kings, but for the attainment of which their military expeditions struggled for centuries in vain.\n\nIn Camp, April 25, 1910,\n\nARCHIBALD ROSE.\n\nTengyueh, April 30, 1910.—Since my return, I learn that the Paoshan magistrate with the Tengkeng Sawbwa and a party of about 100 men has crossed to the Pienma villages, where he has appointed headmen and distributed badges of office. Two Chinese officers with a party of twenty soldiers also left the city this morning in the direction of Mingkuang, and I understand that they have been instructed to proceed by Hparé and Lagwé to the N'Maikha River, and to enforce the submission of local headmen whenever possible.\n\n## Upper Pienma (Hpimaw)—\n\n### Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n## LIST of Claims against Tengkeng.\n\n \n \n Claimant\n Description\n Taels\n \n \n \n \n Tung La-sao and Teng Chung-tou (Headmen of Twenty houses)\n Tengkeng and his levies\n \n \n \n 1.

Whatever assistance the Treasury can afford for this purpose will be very gladly given.\n\nMr. DUKE: May I draw attention to the fact that some of the county councils are put in a position of much disadvantage with regard to local licences by reason of the appointment, under the Finance Act of 1910, of the year 1908-9 as the governing year which decides the apportionment of the Licence Duties between the funds under the control of the county councils and the funds which go to the Road Improvement Board.\n\nDevon, for instance, county council finds itself deprived of several thousand pounds which in ordinary circumstances would have come to it, not arising from the increase of Motor Duties, but from duties on traps and to some extent from the greater vigilance of the county councils and the local authorities. I think that the matter has been mentioned to the Treasury on one or two occasions, and I should be glad if the right hon. Gentleman would look into it and see whether there has not been a substantial breach of the pledge given that the county councils should not suffer by the method of distribution. I am sure that this matter will be regarded as non-contentious and that the right hon.

Office, of the Colonial Office, and of the Post Office. The High Commissioners of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were good enough to accept seats on the Committee and attend its meetings. All the Government experts in wireless telegraphy were also members of that Committee, which was a large Committee, consisting altogether of about twenty members. I acted as Chairman. The Committee first met on 9th August, 1911, and, after considering the question where the stations should be placed and in what way the Governments concerned could best co-operate, it proceeded to consider what steps could properly be taken in order to the erection of these stations. Three courses were open to the Government. It might have taken upon itself to erect the stations through its own engineers and officers; it might have invited tenders from any contractors who considered they were in a position to erect them; or it might have negotiated with the Marconi Company, which had previously made a further offer of a different kind, to which I will refer later.\n\nsecure\n\nment.\n\nMarconi Company\n\n7 AUGUST 1912 Agreement.\n\ntractive offer. It involved no expenditure on our part; it would have enabled rates for communication to have been reduced, but, on the other hand, it would have given the Marconi Company a monopoly of this form of communication throughout those parts of the Empire, for wireless telegraphy is in itself to a great extent a natural monopoly. It is impossible to erect a number of stations side by side with one another in a comparatively small area on account of the risk of mutual interference.\n\nIf this request chain of Imperial wireless stations, the Marconi Company had been offered they would have had in their own hands during a period of twenty years entire control of wireless telegraphy throughout large areas of our Dominions. The first is that the erection of long range wireless telegraphy stations at suitable points throughout the Empire is in itself desirable; indeed, they will be useful for commercial purposes, and are likely to contribute to the cheapening of telegraphic communications between various portions of the Empire. In time of war, however we may anticipate war, it is of course the primary duty of the Government to make provision for Imperial defence. Should war unhappily occur, cables are always liable to be cut, and of course it is for strategic reasons exceedingly desirable that some alternative means of communication should be provided, and, further, that it should be a means like this, which enables communication to be kept up with the Fleet and with merchant ships. The problem of our Empire is largely a problem of communications, and the more the Government is able to improve Imperial communications the better it is.\n\nThe second point with respect to which I think there will be no controversy is that these stations, when they are erected, ought properly to be in the hands of the Government or of the Governments in different parts of the Empire, and should not be in the hands of a private company. In March, 1910, the Marconi Company requested the grant of a licence for the erection of long range wireless stations at eighteen points throughout the Empire. They promised that they would charge low rates for telegraphic communications between those stations. They asked for no subsidy and for no payment of any kind, but that their licence should be for a period of twenty years, with the right of purchase to be in the hands of the Government at the end of that time.\n\nPage 206\n\nOn the question whether or not the Government should itself erect the stations it was at once clear that the Post Office was not in a position to do so. Although we have a number of comparatively small wireless stations around our own coasts, the Post Office has no direct experience of the working of long range telegraphy, and although it is carefully watching its developments throughout the world, its engineers and officers themselves have not had direct experience of the actual direction and management of long range stations. Further, we have not the staff which could possibly undertake an enterprise of this kind. The Admiralty might have been in a position to erect the stations, and were prepared to do so if it was necessary, but they were very reluctant to undertake the work for the reason that it would have meant devoting the whole of their expert staff to this enterprise during a period probably of some years, and diverting them from their proper and normal duties of looking after the wireless telegraph system of the Navy on board ship and on land. It was therefore decided that, if necessary, the point should be further considered. The natural course, no doubt, when any Government Department or Departments was undertaking any enterprise of this character, which is to be carried out by outside contractors, would be to throw the matter open to public tender,\n\n167\n\nPage 207", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 439203, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-393 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [11]", "page_number": 120, "title": "CO129-393 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [11]", "content_text": "108\n\n3\n\n•DEMOSKOU SI: sovicsier to na ansio piH .(d)\n\nVal Devi, Hiot te pavento al .(o)\n\nTuhod 10led on delu el uno eIJ #),Yoʻzogo\"L\n\nutile.roup and 00 ANDATI #1 OL .(.)\n\n.6810 Sku ni jastuki građenom\n\nHL* [QAMƏTLİema pov naviy am an ti apllo\n\nB.

Wie schlecht es um diesen Glauben in Wirklichkeit bestellt ist, das beweisen die bei allen Vierverbandsstaaten eingetretenen innerpolitischen Verschiebungen und die krampfhaften Anstrengungen, die immer deutlicher erkennbar werdenden Interessengegensätze zwischen den einzelnen Gliedern der Entente zu überbrücken oder doch wenigstens vor den Augen der Welt zu verbergen.\n\nDem diplomatischen Erfolg der Zentralmächte auf dem Balkan ist der militärische auf dem Fuß gefolgt. Das Schicksal der Serben ist besiegelt! Man kann dem kleinen tapferen Volk für die Art, in der es, verraten von seinen politischen Ratgebern und angeblichen Freunden, zum letzten schweren Kampf sich gestellt hat, die Achtung nicht versagen.\n\nDie Verhandlungen, die aus Anlass der Entwicklung der Dinge auf dem Balkan im britischen Parlament stattgefunden haben, mögen aber nicht nur den Serben, sondern auch anderen die Augen darüber geöffnet haben, was von den idealen Motiven zu halten ist, aus denen England zum Schutz der kleinen Staaten das Schwert gezogen zu haben vorgibt.\n\nWas könnte es Kläglicheres geben als die gewundenen Erklärungen, die am 9. und 10. November Sir Edward Grey und Lord R. Cecil abgegeben haben. Sir Edward Grey sagte, die von England den Serben gemachten Versprechungen hätten nur den Sinn gehabt, dass sie politisch, nicht, dass sie militärisch auf Englands unbedingte Unterstützung zählen dürften, und Lord Cecil musste zugeben, dass man auf dringende Anfragen hinsichtlich eines von Serbien geplanten Angriffs gegen Bulgarien tagelang überhaupt nicht und schließlich auch nur ausweichend geantwortet habe.\n\nDas zeigt, dass England für die kleinen Staaten sich nur so lange interessiert, wie es die eigenen Interessen dadurch schützen zu können vermeint. Und wie respektiert England heute die Neutralität Griechenlands, dasselbe England, das es mit seiner Ehre für unvereinbar erklärt hat, angesichts des Durchmarschs der deutschen Truppen durch Belgien neutral zu bleiben?\n\nNein, England kämpft nicht für irgendwelche idealen Güter der Menschheit, es kämpft für die Aufrechterhaltung seiner sehr realen Weltherrschaft, und in dem Maße, in dem diese durch den Gang der Ereignisse unmittelbar gefährdet wird, muss es die Maske fallen lassen.\n\nUm einen Keil zwischen Deutschland und Österreich-Ungarn und ihre Verbündeten, die Türken, zu schieben, also im Interesse des nach Sir Edward Grey's denkwürdigem Gleichnis von England geführten Viergespanns der Ententemächte, wollten diese den Balkanbund wiedererstehen lassen. Heute, da sich die Balkanstaaten auf die Gemeinsamkeit ihrer Interessen zu besinnen scheinen und es ablehnen, sich für Englands Größe untereinander zu zertleischen, sucht man sie in der Welt als die verblendeten Opfer deutscher Intriganten- und Bestechungskünste hinzustellen.\n\nAber jeder Denkende erkennt, dass aus diesen ohnmächtigen Anschuldigungen nur die dumpfe Sorge spricht, Sorge um das Schicksal der englischen Herrschaft in Ägypten und Indien, d. h. um die Angelpunkte der britischen Weltherrschaft.\n\nDeutschland hat keine auf Weltherrschaft gerichteten Gelüste. Nur war es und ist es im Gefühl seines Wertes und seiner Kraft zu stolz, um sich der britischen als dienendes Glied einzufügen.\n\nJe eher die Menschheit sich davon überzeugt, dass alles Gerede über Deutschlands Willen, der Welt den Stempel seiner Eigenart aufzuzwingen, und alle gehässigen Entstellungen dieser Eigenart letzten Endes nur darauf zurückzuführen sind, dass Großbritannien sich berufen glaubt, das Meer und damit die Welt zu beherrschen, desto eher wird ihrer Friedenssehnsucht Erfüllung werden können.\n\nVielleicht trägt die hysterische Art, mit der man sich auf Seiten unserer Gegner gegen die angeblich von Deutschland unternommenen Versuche zur Anbahnung einer Verständigung auflehnt, zur Aufklärung darüber bei, wo die wahren Feinde des Weltfriedens zu suchen sind, als dessen ideale Form doch wohl nicht allen die pax britannica vorschwebt.\n\nay\n\n1916\n\n3 Mar\n\n88\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nG/3 Sanctd, 106.\n\n27 April\n\nHONG KONG\n\n18185\n\n23\n\n18185\n\nREC REG 17 APR 16\n\nOrdo No1 of 1916\n\nSocietas. 1516)\n\nThe sport explan's sufficienth\n\nSanction 27\n\nA 19/4/160 atonces\n\nLubans\n\nTR2\n\nSA\n\nNext subsequent Paper.\n\n(90092) WL. 35800—6. 45,000 12/15.

He said that he had received a telegram last night from his Government instructing him to inform the Colonial Government that it had been decided to send the Japanese Gunboat \"Suma\" now lying in Wanchi Bay to Canton and that she would probably leave tomorrow morning. He said that the purpose in view was to protect the Japanese community at Canton in the event of the City being attacked and that it might become necessary to remove the whole of the community consisting of about 150 persons to the Gunboat. He presumed that the decision to send the Gunboat had been taken on representations made by the Japanese Consul-General at Canton, who had been for some time very anxious about the state of affairs.\n\nMr. Takahashi then asked me whether the British Consul-General had not intervened. I told him that Mr. Jamieson had sent a telegram on July 22nd to Tsungling Tien (Shum) at Shiuhing asking him to use his influence for a suspension of hostilities pending the arrival of Tutu Lu, and that the translation of the telegram had appeared in the English newspapers in Hongkong. Mr. Takahashi said he thought Mr. Jamieson had done well in telegraphing, but he had not heard whether there had been any result. He thought Lu was expected to arrive in Canton on the 25th July. He asked me to convey the instructions of his Government to you and he then left.\n\n(Sd.) C.

Beyond a few\n\norderly processions there was no demonstration on the part of the returning seamen and coolies, who were obviously delighted to get back to work.\n\n22.\n\nThere are certain outstanding features. The\n\nstrike emphasised the absolute dependence of the Colony\n\nupon Canton and the immense harm that must accrue to it\n\nfrom an organised boycott. It showed the danger of over-\n\nreliance upon cheap coolie labour, with no sort of stake or\n\ninterest to tie it to the Colony, able at a moment's notice\n\nto disappear back into China whence it came. It brought\n\nagain into prominence the difficulties, experienced once\n\nbefore in the engineers' strike, of getting a grip of the\n\nsituation when a whole body of labour removes itself out of the Colony back to its native land, where it is maintained and supported with the connivance of Government authority. A most salient point was the extraordinary intimidation by word of mouth, almost entirely unaccompanied by violence, which brought out Chinese labour like a flock of frightened sheep. The Chinese members of the Legislative Council kept their houses in abject terror of their lives, and they and the rest of the leading Chinese gave not the smallest assistance, either in putting heart into their compatriots, or in giving the Government the slightest clue to the methods by which the terror was spread.\n\n20.\n\nThe following documents are attached:-\n\n(A).

Her chief work here has been the teaching of Mathematics to the middle forms of the school, with some History, English, and Class Singing. All this has been done to my entire satisfaction. As a Maths teacher, Miss Kirkham has done excellent work with her classes; her lessons are interesting, and she is able to maintain firm discipline without friction. She has handled large classes of boys for the singing lessons very well.\n\nShe is well liked by her colleagues and is popular with the boys. She is a pleasant colleague, keenly anxious to do her best both in and out of school. It is at her own wish that she is leaving my school, and I part from her with regret. I may add that during her stay here Miss Kirkham completed the work for her B.A. degree, which in itself bespeaks the possession of determination and perseverance.\n\nMiss Kirkham qualifies her to take any post that is wanted in that capacity, and as she has also a pass degree in Latin, Mathematics, English, History, and French, she could, if needed, take work in those subjects. She is keen and, moreover, distinctly gifted. I have consecutively clearly given, and her work is marked by breadth of view and originality.\n\nI shall at any time be glad to answer any inquiries about Miss Kirkham.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\n(SIGNED) \nJ.O.

The questions in the British Parliament d the telegrams from the Independent abour Party and the Trades Union Hongre expressing sympathy with the workers of China in their struggle with apital, betray a total misconception of the origin of the present crisis. It is safe to say that not 2 per cent. of the original dispute is due to dissatisfaction on the part of Labour with the conditions in the foreign mills, which, though doubtless capable of improvement in some points, are unquestionably far superior to those of the Chinese mills. In regard to the disturbances at the Japanese mill, overwhelming evidence has accumulated that these were the direct result of the work of political agitators, and they wore not reproduced in other mills.\n\nAs for the child labour question, the only way in which it is involved is exactly the reverse of what is supposed abroad. The offence of the foreigners is not that they employ children but that they Tho propose to employ them no longer. agitators persuaded parents that the employers were plotting to turn out the children, sweat the parents, and save on wages. Of course, directly workers were called out on strike there was abundant inflammable material ready for a riot, but it can be asserted that without political machination there would have been no strike.\n\nApart from the usual student demon-strations, the Yangtaze Valley has been reported quiet the past two days, but the Chinesa of the better order are in-creasingly nervous owing to the craven yielding of the Peking Government to the extremists. One informant, whom I have quoted before and always found trustworthy, says the increasing fear among the Chinese of an ultimate explo.sion along the Yangtare Valley is com-parable to that of the Boxer year. He adds that the only effective prevention is a strong display of naval force by the Powers along the river.\n\n\"RED\" HELP FOR CHINESE.\n\n(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nRIGA, JUNE 18,\n\nThe Red trade unions have sent the Chinese revolutionaries another £8,000, and the society for assisting distressed Communists abroad have sent Shanghai strikers a further £3,000.\n\nPROTECTION OF FOREIGNERS.\n\nthe\n\nPEKING, June 16-As a result of the foreign representation urging protection, the Government has brought in numbers of General Feng Yu-hsiang's troops to It has also posted patrol the city. pickets outside the principal offices of foreign firms and foreign residences.\n\nChang Teo-lin, who had been con-templating sending troops to Peking for some time, dispatched some to-day, and the first companies arrived this afternoon, occupying the Yellow Temple outside the North Gate.\n\nThe Ministry of Communications, in all circular telegram to-day, orders special protection for all foreign employees in the Ministry and foreign travellers on! the railways, and orders the dispatch of efficient police for this purpose.- Reuter,\n\nHANKOW, June 16-Of the seven Bol-ahevist agitators arrested by the Chinos authorities, one was shot by them this morning-Reuter\n\nFOOCHOW, June 16.-The students here are urging the Chinese employed by foreigners to strike, and are appealing to the Merchants' Guild to support the strikers.

SHANGHAI, June 16. The British Consul General this morning made vigorous protest to the Civil Governor and the Foreign Commissioner with regard to the murder of Mr. Williams Mackenzie. [A report of the murder appeared in The Times yesterday.]\n\nMiss Duncan, who Was with Mr. Mackenzie when he was murdered, and who was herself wounded, in relating her experiences said :—\n\nWe encountered seven Chinese dressed liks coolles who stopped us near the Great Western Road Extension. Mr. Mackonale asked thema what they wanted, but the Chinese only laughed, at the same time turning the light of electric torches upon us. Mr. Mackenzie got out of the car, and speaking both in English and in Chinese, ordered the men to get out of the way. Thereupon one of the Chluamen fired and Mr. Mackenzie ran back, jumped into the car and started the engine. It then seemned as if all the Chinese opened fire together, and Mr. Mackenzie lurched forward, telling me that he had been shot and was dying. Meanwhile the car had gained speed, and se he fell I took the wheel and steered the car while the Chinese kept on Bring.\n\nMiss Duncan, who had only once or twice handled a car before, drove the car with Mr. Mackenzie's body in it for nearly three-quarters of a mile into the settlement, the car finally falling into a wide ditch.\n\nMiss Duncan shouted for aid, but, failing to attract attention, ran to a house occupied by two Shanghai Volun teers, who communicated with the police. Mr. Mackenzie was hit by four bullets, one of them severing the jugular vein. The police found on the roadside near the scene of the murder 12 32 calibre empty cartridge cases.-Reuter.\n\nBRITISH COMMERCE AND CHINA.\n\nPLEA FOR CONFERENCE.

The recapture of Kaifeng, the capital of Honan, by Chang Tso-lin's troops recalls the strange disappearance of nearly 10,000 men, comprising the Tenth Division of the Fengtien Army, including Chiang Kai-shek, feels that it would be unwise at present to deal too severely with the Communists.\n\nThe mystery surrounding what happened to those soldiers has only now been cleared up after much investigation among the country folk.\n\nIt appears that these soldiers fled towards the Yellow River with the idea of crossing to the other side, but finding no means of doing so, they scattered about the countryside, behaving towards the population in the usual Chinese soldiers' way.\n\nThe inhabitants, aided by the Red Spears (a body of Honanese guerilla fighters) finally banded themselves together and attacked the soldiers wherever they found them. Gruesome stories are told of how the Red Spears killed their erstwhile oppressors, who were mostly without rifles and with no means of defence, beating them to death being the favourite method, although by far the greater number were bound hand and foot and pitched into the Yellow River.\n\nIt is estimated that no fewer than 9,000 soldiers were thus disposed of. Now that the Fengtien forces are again in control of this part of Honan, it is expected that their revenge will partake of the nature of a holocaust, owing to the possibility thereby of creating a dangerous situation at Hankow at a time when Chang Tso-lin's forces are advancing across Honan, and when the Five Powers show signs of vigorous action at Hankow as a result of Mr. Eugene Chen's sophistry.\n\n[ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] [Exclusive to \"Daily Bulletin.\"]\n\n## ANTI-BRITISH CAMPAIGN AT TIENTSIN\n### BRITISH CONCESSION STRIKE\n\nTientsin, April 19.

D. E. (Hornsey) Ward, Lieut. Col. Sir A. Lambert Wardlaw-Milne, J. S. Warrender. Sir Victor Waterhouse, Captain Charles Wayland, Sir William A. Wells, Sydney R. \n\n10 FEBRUARY 1931 \n\nWilliams, Charles (Devon, Torquay) Wilson, G. H. A. (Cambridge U.) Windsor-Clive, Lleut.-Colonel George Winterton, Rt. Hon. Earl Withers, Sir John James Wolmer, Rt. Hon. Viscount Womersley, W. J. \n\nWood, Rt. Hon. Sir Kingsley \n\nBill read the Third time, and passed. \n\n**CHINA INDEMNITY (APPLICATION) BILL**\n\nNot amended (in the Standing Committee) considered. \n\nLord HUGH CECIL: I beg to move, \"That the further consideration of the Bill be now adjourned.\" \n\nI can assure the Government that this Motion is not due to any hostility to the Bill, but merely in order that an opportunity may be given to those who are interested in it from an educational point of view to propose such Amendments to the Bill as we think may be required. [HON. MEMBERS: \"Speak up; we cannot hear you!\"] We are very anxious that in the arrangements which are made in the Bill the interests of Chinese culture in the universities should be considered. No provision is made in the Bill for supporting those studies even in the universities which have already devoted some attention to them. There is provision in the Schedule for £200,000 to be given to the universities, and it is to be administered by a committee which is to be a chartered body. The proposed charter has not yet received the Royal approbation and its exact purport is not yet known. But, as far as it is known, it does not appear to make provision for supporting the studies in Chinese language and culture in the universities which have so far been devoting themselves to the subject, and we are anxious to have a full opportunity of thinking the matter over and so being able to formulate whatever Amendment is required to provide that those universities which have already devoted their attention to Chinese culture should receive whatever support can be given to them out of the indemnity. It seems rather strange, though I have no doubt the Government have good reasons for it, to give £200,000 out of the indemnity to a body which has not yet any legal existence. This committee has not yet received the Royal Charter, I understand, and it is odd that the Bill should be carried out with a provision in it which gives £200,000 to a body which has not yet any legal position.\n\nTherefore, we are anxious for a little time in which to think the thing over, not with the smallest hostility to the Bill or to what the Government design in it, but in order to carry out what, I am sure, they wish as much as we, namely, the cultivation of Chinese studies in London, and the use of the money for the purpose of such studies. For this reason I have been asked to move a short postponement, of some days, perhaps, in order that we may look into the matter and formulate our proposals in a more distinct form. I do not know whether the Government would be prepared to receive a deputation from the universities interested, but I feel sure that, in whatever way it may be brought about, there might be a private interchange of counsel between the Government and the universities interested, with the object of promoting this object which is common to us all. \n\nI hope that the Government will be able to assent to this Motion, or, if not, to assure us of their co-operation in the object which we have at heart, which is to use this money to promote a mutual understanding between China and Great Britain by encouraging the study of the Chinese culture and language in the universities of this country. \n\nThe UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Dalton): The Noble Lord has moved this Motion in a speech with a great part of which I am in full sympathy. As he said, the universities have come forward in this matter rather late in the day. The Bill was printed before Christmas; it was read a Second time in this House without a Division; and during the Second Reading Debate the point which the Noble Lord has raised was not made by any of the university representatives in this House. It was then considered by a Standing Committee, and the point was raised by my hon. Friend the Member...\n\n364 \n\nWorthington-Evans, Rt. Hon. Sir L. Wright, Brig. Gen. W. D. (Tavist'k) Young, Rt.

It is customary to have these reports printed, and had we done that we would have been doing nothing out of the way, but we did act. Every one of these statutory Reports was typed, and no more copies were produced than was absolutely necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Ordinance. None of the Statutory Reports appeared in Chinese. The Reports were consistent, right throughout - the items were treated as cash. The loans were treated consistently as cash right throughout. If the items are correct, I am innocent and I honestly believe them to be correct. My explanation is the same as I gave Devon months ago. One expert says that he cannot see how the statutory Report could have been done otherwise, another expert says that the transactions are properly made and consistently treated throughout. Can I be a criminal or to blame for having produced a document which one expert says might be correct if the transactions are genuine, and another expert says the transactions are properly made and the Report properly prepared? You have it in your power, Gentlemen of the Jury, by one word to make me a condemned outcast, to make me a pariah, to deprive me of my name, reputation, liberty, friends and everything that makes life worth living. Do not come to a decision lightly. I prepared the Statutory Report and did what I thought was right, I am not a criminal and it is for you and you alone that I can look for deliverance from this charge.\n\n(1, Fitzroy quoted two law cases and books were handed to his Lordship then to Mr. Brewer for reference.)\n\nHis for defence:\n\nMr. Innes asked:\n\nHis Lordship:\n\nMr. Brewer:\n\nI, Brewer, you prepared this Balance sheet, what is the Allotment Suspense Account?\n\nShares applied for and accepted by the Company for which money had not been received in respect of the shares.\n\nIn the figure 'Issued Capital' the shares concerned are fully paid shares?\n\nYes, my Lord.\n\n(Exhibits 5, A & F here handed to the Jury for examination).\n\nW. Fitzisch:\n\nThe charge is this, that on the 16th day of August, 1927 (Charge read). That is the thing which you have to direct your attention. The Statutory Report must be correct according to the transactions and must be filed with the Registrar. The object of this is so that the public should know how every Company stood. Anybody that wanted to know anything about a particular company, merely had to go to the Registrar's office, pay the fee and examine the documents.

It is very desirable to segregate infected cattle in different buildings, if possible. If this is absolutely impossible, have a movable partition made of sheets of corrugated iron fixed on a wooden frame. It should be as high as possible. As the number of infected cows decreases, the partition can be moved along and the vacated stalls disinfected. There should be no door through the partition. The drainage should run from the clean cows past the infected, never vice versa. The same applies, of course, to the water supply.\n\nIt is essential for the non-reactors to be never allowed to drink water which can have been contaminated by any possibility by the reactors.\n\n## Calving infected cattle\n\nWhen a reacting cow or heifer calves, it should be arranged for the calf to be delivered direct on to a clean cloth or sheet and removed at once. It should be kept from all contact with its mother and from the soiled litter of her box. If the herd owner has had a non-reacting cow calve within 4 days, before or after, the calf from the reactor should be given some of the colostrum from that non-reacting cow in order that it may not miss entirely the natural aid to resistance to disease, especially of the alimentary tract, which it should have acquired through its own mother's first milk.\n\n## Rearing of calves\n\nIt cannot be impressed too strongly on herd owners the importance of rearing calves and young stock in airy and sunny surroundings, with ample nourishment and a clean dry bed. They are then much more likely to be resistant to any chance infection of tuberculosis or any other disease. They should never be given any milk from the reacting cows. If possible, the men attending the reactors should have nothing to do with the non-reactors and young stock. If this is impossible, then they should always milk and tend the reactors last.\n\nCare must be taken that calves are not fed on skim milk or whey from creameries and cheese factories, as, being from bulked milk, it is almost certain to contain tuberculosis.\n\n## Care of cattle at grass\n\nIt is essential that non-reactors should not be turned into fields recently used by reactors. In taking any steps to eradicate either tuberculosis, Johne's disease or abortion, it is of the first importance that animals should be prevented from contaminating the ponds and streams from which they drink with their fæces and urine. The water should be so fenced off that the cattle can only get their heads to it, or else the water pumped out into a tank. This applies especially to stagnant ponds. Owners should guard against infection from running water which may have come through an infected area. If the boundary fences are weak, or of such a nature as not to prevent contact with a neighbour's cattle, a second fence should be provided. A two-strand wire fence, under which sheep can go, at least 6 feet from main fence, is sufficient.\n\n## Importance of care\n\nThe above precautions may seem tiresome and expensive, but they are not nearly so much so as a reinfection after a herd has been nearly or completely cleared. To succeed (an even seriously infected herd can be cleared in 3 years), it is necessary to carry out the above instructions rigidly.\n\n## Disposal of reactors\n\nIf reactors are rigidly segregated from the clean cattle, there is no necessity to dispose of them, but in the case of cattle of no particular value to the herd it is much wiser to do so, as there is always the possibility of the disease becoming acute and of their becoming wasters.\n\nThe recommendations in this scheme have been drawn up with the best possible veterinary advice.\n\n## APPENDIX 13\n\n### Human and cow population and rateable value in Great Britain\n\n#### (a) Human and cow population and rateable value by counties in England and Wales\n\n| Administrative County.

His father refuses to afford him any further assistance.\n\nIn July last they reported to the British Consul at Berlin that they had lost a pocket wallet and all their money. On the strength of Lock's statement, subsequently found to be untrue, that he owned a business in Winnipeg known as the Russian Beauty Products Company, assistance was given to them.

Twenty-two breeds of cattle were exhibited, 23 of sheep and 11 of pigs. More than 1,500 railway trucks, including special tractors, trailers, and other vehicles for working on soft ground, were provided by the railway companies to transport livestock, farm implements, cheese, butter, cider and flowers to the show. The show covered altogether 120 acres. For making the roadways of the show ground the railways supplied 20,600 railway sleepers.\n\nThe \"Royal\", as the show is familiarly called, was particularly interesting this year because the authorities were celebrating its centenary. The first Royal Agricultural Show was held at Oxford on the 17th of July, 1859, when it occupied seven acres and the livestock entries numbered less than 250. The era of railways had begun, but the \"flying chariot\" was still so much of a novelty that many people refused to travel by train. Travelling was therefore extremely difficult. Two Devon farmers took three days to reach the show with their exhibits. Thomas Bates, one of the men who developed the modern Shorthorn strain, sent four head of cattle from Darlington in Yorkshire to Oxford.\n\nThe cattle walked from Darlington to Hull, went by sea to London, by canal to Aylesbury, and finished with another walk of 23 miles to the show ground. Yet they won £70 in prizes for their enterprising owner.\n\nSome interesting comparisons have been made with the show, also held at Windsor, when the Royal celebrated its fiftieth birthday in 1889. Then the cattle exhibited numbered 1,644, the horses 996, and the sheep 1,109. This year the cattle were more", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-581-16 British propaganda in Hong Kong 18-4-1939 - 29-10-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 571247, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-586-2 Pensions 27-2-1940 - 15-7-1940", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-586-2 Pensions 27-2-1940 - 15-7-1940", "content_text": "## \nE.

They attach as conditions (a) that the constitution of a unified authority should be such as to ensure the future administration of the different undertakings with fairness and justice, including their expansion and development, and (b) that the existing statutory protection of the present channel in the vicinity of Greenock and the interests of all parties concerned should be properly safeguarded.\n\n(96) The Greenock Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures advocate unification as far down as the Cumbraes or, alternatively, as far down only as the Cloch Lighthouse, the new authority to be constituted on the lines of the Port of London Authority. They ask for safeguards against diversion of the dredged channel prejudicial to the harbours, docks and industries of the lower reaches and the approaches to the up-river docks, and that adequate representation should be provided for the interests represented on the existing authorities.\n\nThe improvements which they recommend include (a) a deep-sea terminal port at Greenock with up-to-date well-equipped wharf and other necessary port facilities; (b) the provision of improved road and railway connexions and marshalling yards to serve the deep-water port and shipbuilding areas of Greenock and Port Glasgow; (c) the provision of a large naval graving dock at Greenock; (d) provision for the development of Flying Boat, Seaplane or Amphibious Plane base and servicing facilities, preferably at Greenock; (e) provision at Roseneath or other suitable site of a large oil fuel storage depot to serve the deep-water port; and (f) cold storage facilities in or near Greenock for the provisioning of ships using the deep-water port.\n\nThey add that the problem of financing any considerable port development work in the lower reaches \"and deep-water areas adjacent thereto, however desirable, is insuperable unless it is considered and based on a regional or national basis.\n\n(97) The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce express the view that the existing administrative arrangements have not interfered with the efficiency of Glasgow Harbour which represents 90 per cent. of the total dues and shipping interests in the Estuary. They state however that unification as far down as the Cumbraes should not be opposed provided that the new authority is constituted somewhat on the lines of the Clyde Trust and that no additional burdens should fall on shipowners, shippers and receivers of cargo. An essential condition would be that Glasgow and the Clyde would not be put through unification at a disadvantage owing to excessive capital expenditure. Rates and charges must bear favourable comparison with similar charges at other principal ports.\n\nThe Chamber also recommended the adaptation of the Clyde above Glasgow for use by barges.\n\n(98) The Trades House of Glasgow, an ancient incorporation representative of the trade interests of Glasgow and the surrounding districts which has from the first participated in the formation and management of the Harbour of Glasgow, point out that the seeming anomaly of entrusting the control of the River and Estuary to a number of different authorities has not in actual practice been productive of any material disadvantage, and express the view that unification will not result in increased efficiency or economy and therefore in increased trade. On the contrary they are apprehensive lest unification might create financial burdens which would adversely affect the interests and prosperity of the Clyde. They believe that the urge on the part both of ship owners and shippers is to have their destination near to the larger centres of\n\n31\n\npopulation, and that imports and exports alike should be handled mainly at Glasgow, and that it is imperative that the port should be efficient and economic.\n\nIf unification should be decided upon, the Trades House urge that it should not extend beyond the Cumbrae Heads, and that the representation of the Trades House and the Merchants' House on the governing body should be continued.\n\n(99) The Merchants' House of Glasgow, another ancient incorporation whose representatives have long participated in the management of the Harbour of Glasgow, and whose members are drawn from the business community, point out that 18 out of the 42 members of the present Clyde Trust are appointed by Local Authorities from their own number, or from past members who have represented them on the Clyde Trust, and that they need not be, and in many cases are not, business men. In their view the control of a port should be mainly in the hands of business men and of ratepayers, and this consideration should be kept in view in framing the structure of any new governing authority.\n\nThey state that it is generally considered that it would facilitate efficient administration if the limits of the Harbour were extended to a line from Skipness past the Cumbraes to the Ayrshire Coast; but they are opposed to the inclusion in a unification scheme of the more distant ports, or to the project for making the Clyde navigable by barge above Glasgow, unless this project could be shown after full investigation to be an economic proposition. Support for even a limited extension is qualified by the condition that no burdens, obligations or schemes connected with existing harbour undertakings in the extension which would make the proposition economically unsound are to be taken over by, or imposed on, the extended undertaking.\n\nAs regards detailed improvements, the Merchants' House advocate many of the suggestions outlined in paragraphs (156) to (167).\n\n(100) The Clyde Pilotage Authority consider that they should continue to function as hitherto as a separate body, their existing jurisdiction, powers and duties having proved satisfactory. They admitted that the constitution of the authority was out-of-date, and that in actual practice the authority worked largely as an adjunct of the Clyde Navigation Trustees. We failed to discover any solid reason for their desire to remain a separate authority in the event of unification taking place.\n\n(101) The Ayr County Council express no view on the unification proposal, but urge development of the lower Clyde ports on the Ayrshire Coast, partly on national and strategic grounds and partly to facilitate industrial decon-gestion. They draw attention to the advantages offered in the upper estuary for a naval base, and in the Prestwick-Troon area for the creation of a new deep-water port.\n\n(102) The Dunbarton County Council consider that it would be in the best interests of the Clyde Estuary if it were placed under the control of one body on which all riparian local authorities were adequately represented. They support this view primarily by reference to administrative considerations, and not on commercial grounds, the matters on which they concentrate being (a) the application of the Public Health Services to vessels using the River and Estuary; (b) the discharge from ships of oil and refuse; (c) the improvement of riparian communications, with a tunnel at Erskine Ferry and vehicular ferries from Gourock to opposite centres; (d) land reclamation between Milton and Ardmore; and (e) the utilisation of the Leven for barge traffic to the Vale of Leven industrial area. Even if no expansion of the port limits is to be effected, they ask for increased representation on the Clyde Trust.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-10 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 10-4-1946 - 15-4-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579446, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-5 Reports on current situation- custody of enemy property 7-12-1945 - 11-12-1945", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-592-5 Reports on current situation- custody of enemy property 7-12-1945 - 11-12-1945", "content_text": "1.

The Committee also propose the institution of a Department of Biochemistry. \n\n47. In the Faculty of Arts we have advocated a greater establishment in certain subjects in which the University of Hong Kong can make special contributions towards a fuller mutual understanding of Chinese and Western civilizations. It is more difficult in the Faculty of Science to find subjects peculiarly suited to the regional setting of the University that can be developed at moderate cost. The most appropriate, it appears to us, is Marine Biology for which Hong Kong is specially well suited by its geographical position and environment. This has already been recognised through a Colonial Office grant for the building of a Fisheries Research Institute on the South side of the Island, to be directed jointly by the Government and the University. But for the war, the Institute's laboratories and museums would by now be in use. \n\nA research staff in 1940 and 1941 had already done good work and had established friendly relations with similar institutions which will shortly be revived at Amoy and on the China coast elsewhere. While the possibilities of original work in Botany and in other branches of Zoology are limited, there is hope in the work of this Institute for real contributions to knowledge as well as for practical assistance for the very important but undeveloped fishing industry. It is likely to play no small part in replacing the Japanese by a Chinese deep-sea trawling industry in these waters. The scheme of the Research Institute makes provision for fellowships which it is hoped hereafter to increase in numbers, and for vacation courses for Chinese scientific workers. \n\n48. Hitherto bio-chemistry has been a minor subject in the Department of Physiology and has been no more than an ancillary subject in medical studies. Modern developments in the science demand that a separate Department for this subject should be provided in any university that possesses a Faculty of Medicine. \n\n49. The staff of the Faculty should include: \n\nProfessors\nReaders\nLecturers\nPart-time Lecturers\nDemon-strators\n\nPhysics\n1\n1\n2\n\n3\n\nChemistry\n1\n1\n\nZoology and Botany\n1\n\n4\n\n3\n\nBiochemistry..\nΙ\nF\nI\n\n4\n3\n7\n2\n9 or 11\n\nFACULTY OF MEDICINE. \n\n50. The College of Medicine existed, as a chartered institution, prior to the establishment of the University. It has established a high reputation, and rising standards of education have been maintained throughout its history. Its graduates are in general and specialist practice in Hong Kong, China, Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. Its qualification is recognised by the General Medical Council as entitling to registration in Great Britain. \n\n51. In the past the curriculum has conformed very largely to that found in medical schools in the British Isles. With the increased emphasis placed in recent times on prevention of disease, we feel that some modification should \n\n19 \n\n171 \n\nIn the past \n\nbe made in the curriculum of the Hong Kong Medical School. it has had whole-time pre-medical and pre-clinical professors and lecturers, but it has been a recognised practice for the professors and lecturers in clinical subjects to act as government consultants. The Professor of Pathology, also, has had duties in connection with the Queen Mary (Government) Hospital, which is the chief teaching hospital for University students. In order to achieve a close integration of teaching and practice in public health, it was arranged shortly before the war for the Deputy Director of the Medical Services of the Hong Kong Government to be ex-officio the Professor of Public Health in the University. We recommend the continuance of the arrangement for the clinical and pathological posts, but the teaching of preventive medicine has now become so important a part of the medical curriculum, embracing as it does teaching in social medicine and public health, that we recommend the formation of a University Department of Social Medicine and Public Health, under a full-time Head, who would be a professor, in the University. This Department should be expanded as soon as possible to include a post-graduate course for a diploma in Social Medicine and Public Health, corresponding to the Diploma in Public Health course in Great Britain. It would then require two sub-sections:-one for epidemiology and one for the practical application of the results of nutritional studies. \n\n52. We are fully aware of the difficulties which may arise in the appointment of professors and lecturers who at the same time hold posts in government or other teaching hospitals and we suggest, for the consideration of the University, possibility of the establishment of a joint Appointments Board to overcome these difficulties. \n\n53. It is now generally recognised that, in order to maintain freshness of outlook and competence in teaching, it is essential that the staff in the medical school should have adequate opportunities to undertake research, either individually or as part of a team. We recommend that the University should encourage, by the careful selection of its professors, the establishment in all departments in the Medical School of a reputation for original research work. A reputation of this type would make the recruitment of first-class staff easier. \n\n54. One of the weaknesses in the medical school in the past has been that the teaching of physiological chemistry in the Department of Physiology has not been as extensive as is now necessary with the great developments in bio-chemistry. This should be remedied by the establishment of a separate Department of Bio-Chemistry in the Faculty of Science which would release the staff of the Physiological Department for teaching and research in experimental physiology. \n\n55. A scientific study of pharmacology would place it manifestly among the major subjects and would be a matter requiring the establishment of a separate department under its own professor. With the great developments in the treatment of disease by synthetic preparations, the necessity for the study of the pharmacological action of drugs is very great, if treatment of disease is to be on a logical instead of an empirical basis. While we have not included a professor in this subject amongst the staff proposed, we feel that the minimum necessity is a full-time lecturer in the subject and recommend, for the consideration of the University, the early establishment of a Department of Pharmacology, in which research as well as teaching can be undertaken.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-610-2 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 9-1-1948 - 18-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 590340, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-610-2 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 9-1-1948 - 18-1-1949", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-610-2 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 9-1-1948 - 18-1-1949", "content_text": "162\n\nsuch a programme of research in Marine Biology as is suggested in the later paragraphs.

The most appropriate, it appears to us, is Marine Biology for which Hong Kong is specially well suited by its geographical position and environment. This has already been recognised through a Colonial Office grant for the building of a Fisheries Research Institute on the South side of the Island, to be directed jointly by the Government and the University. But for the war, the Institute's laboratories and museums would by now be in use.\n\nA research staff in 1940 and 1941 had already done good work and had established friendly relations with similar institutions which will shortly be revived at Amoy and on the China coast elsewhere. While the possibilities of original work in Botany and in other branches of Zoology are limited, there is hope in the work of this Institute for real contributions to knowledge as well as for practical assistance for the very important but undeveloped fishing industry. It is likely to play no small part in replacing the Japanese by a Chinese deep-sea trawling industry in these waters. The scheme of the Research Institute makes provision for fellowships which it is hoped hereafter to increase in numbers, and for vacation courses for Chinese scientific workers.\n\n48. Hitherto bio-chemistry has been a minor subject in the Department of Physiology and has been no more than an ancillary subject in medical studies. Modern developments in the science demand that a separate Department for this subject should be provided in any university that possesses a Faculty of Medicine.\n\n49. The staff of the Faculty should include:\n\n \n \n Professors\n Readers\n Lecturers\n Part-time Lecturers\n Demon-strators\n \n \n Physics\n 1\n 1\n \n \n 3\n \n \n Chemistry\n 1\n 1\n 2\n \n \n \n \n Zoology and Botany\n 1\n \n 4\n 3\n 7\n \n \n Biochemistry\n 1\n 1\n \n \n 2\n \n \n \n 4\n 3 or 4\n 6\n 3\n 9 or 11\n \n\nFACULTY OF MEDICINE.\n\n50. The College of Medicine existed, as a chartered institution, prior to the establishment of the University. It has established a high reputation, and rising standards of education have been maintained throughout its history. Its graduates are in general and specialist practice in Hong Kong, China, Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. Its qualification is recognised by the General Medical Council as entitling to registration in Great Britain.\n\n51. In the past the curriculum has conformed very largely to that found in medical schools in the British Isles. With the increased emphasis placed in recent times on prevention of disease, we feel that some modification should be made in the curriculum of the Hong Kong Medical School. It has had whole-time pre-medical and pre-clinical professors and lecturers, but it has been a recognised practice for the professors and lecturers in clinical subjects to act as government consultants. The Professor of Pathology, also, has had duties in connection with the Queen Mary (Government) Hospital, which is the chief teaching hospital for University students. In order to achieve a close integration of teaching and practice in public health, it was arranged shortly before the war for the Deputy Director of the Medical Services of the Hong Kong Government to be ex-officio the Professor of Public Health in the University. We recommend the continuance of the arrangement for the clinical and pathological posts, but the teaching of preventive medicine has now become so important a part of the medical curriculum, embracing as it does teaching in social medicine and public health, that we recommend the formation of a University Department of Social Medicine and Public Health, under a full-time Head, who would be a professor, in the University. This Department should be expanded as soon as possible to include a post-graduate course for a diploma in Social Medicine and Public Health, corresponding to the Diploma in Public Health course in Great Britain. It would then require two sub-sections: one for epidemiology and one for the practical application of the results of nutritional studies.\n\n52. We are fully aware of the difficulties which may arise in the appointment of professors and lecturers who at the same time hold posts in government or other teaching hospitals and we suggest, for the consideration of the University, the possibility of the establishment of a joint Appointments Board to overcome these difficulties.\n\n53. It is now generally recognised that, in order to maintain freshness of outlook and competence in teaching, it is essential that the staff in the medical school should have adequate opportunities to undertake research, either individually or as part of a team. We recommend that the University should encourage, by the careful selection of its professors, the establishment in all departments in the Medical School of a reputation for original research work. A reputation of this type would make the recruitment of first-class staff easier.\n\n54. One of the weaknesses in the medical school in the past has been that the teaching of physiological chemistry in the Department of Physiology has not been as extensive as is now necessary with the great developments in bio-chemistry. This should be remedied by the establishment of a separate Department of Bio-Chemistry in the Faculty of Science which would release the staff of the Physiological Department for teaching and research in experimental physiology.\n\n55. A scientific study of pharmacology would place it manifestly among the major subjects and would be a matter requiring the establishment of a separate department under its own professor. With the great developments in the treatment of disease by synthetic preparations, the necessity for the study of the pharmacological action of drugs is very great, if treatment of disease is to be on a logical instead of an empirical basis. While we have not included a professor in this subject amongst the staff proposed, we feel that the minimum necessity is a full-time lecturer in the subject and recommend, for the consideration of the University, the early establishment of a Department of Pharmacology, in which research as well as teaching can be undertaken.\n\n163", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-610-2 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 9-1-1948 - 18-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 590468, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-610-3 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 15-2-1949 - 7-2-1950", "page_number": 38, "title": "CO129-610-3 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 15-2-1949 - 7-2-1950", "content_text": "38\n\nCOPY.\n\nThe Old Glebe,\n\nEggesford, Devon.\n\nNovember 18th, 1949.\n\nThe Rt.

Forces in Hong Kong, and who were incapacitated or died as a result of such service during the period of the Japanese invasion and occupation of this Colony between December, 1941, and 1945. Such assistance is also extended to persons, or widows and children of persons, who were tortured by the Japanese or who were executed by them.\n\n3.\n\nA number of the beneficiaries of the Fund are resident in the United Kingdom, and it would appear that we may sometimes do them more harm than good by disqualifying them for allowances which they would have received had they not been obtaining assistance from us.\n\nIt is because of this that my Committee has directed me to apply for general information from you.\n\n4.\n\nMy Committee also requests particular information on the position of a Mrs. Carr, a seventy-one year old widow living in Devon. She is apparently receiving 21/6d. per week National Assistance and 27/6d. per week from another Fund in Hong Kong. I presume that the clause demanding twelve years' residence in the United Kingdom before one becomes eligible for Old Age Pension disqualifies her from that. It has been suggested that should we make any particular grant in her case, the 21/6d. per week which she receives as National Assistance would be stopped immediately.\n\n5.\n\nWe should appreciate your advice on this question in particular and on the system of allowances, etc., in general.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nA.F.

My Wife gave full details of this interview to Mr. Price for his report.\n\nReverting to Tuesday, March 3rd 1942, at 2.30 p.m. I was taken out of the closet, in a very weak condition and could scarcely stand.

That night I was locked into the bedroom and given food. The following two days, Wednesday and Thursday, the examination continued in this room with the same people.
