        "content_text": "the Court __ naturally \n\ncase \n\n1\n\nad Co\n\nThe Registrar of unwilling to give evidence in such a case has nevertheless completely disposed of this part of it. The Registrar remembers that Dr. Bridges, in addressing the Chief Justice, was referring to the disallowance of the Ordinance and the power to receive as evidence statements by witnesses who had only been warned to speak the truth, and that the witnesses in the last case (then \"just finished\") should have been sworn before the taking of their evidence. He did not hear the Chief Justice say anything about the conviction of \"the prisoner then just finished, until after Dr. Bridges spoke to him. He himself indeed had been in the act of asking his Lordship's direction touching certain practice affected by the disallowance [of the main Ordinance]. But the subject, upon which he (Mr. Mason) wished the Chief Justice's direction, had nothing to do with the trial or conviction of the criminal. Indeed, as Mr. Mason has since informed me, it related to the reception of documents sworn or authenticated abroad, under the 18 & 19 Vict. c. 42.\n\nIt is difficult to reconcile this body of evidence with the counter-statement of the Acting Colonial Secretary. It will be for you, Sir, to determine the weight which is due to it, and especially to the following passages:\n\n\"The proceedings being terminated, I went up to the Chief Justice with the intention of asking him privately to take the motion as soon as possible, as I had to attend an Executive Council. The same doubt seems to have recurred to his Lordship as to myself: for, before I could speak, he asked me to have the Registrar look for the disallowed Ordinance.\n\nAnd, on this, I mentioned to him privately, between the Registrar's seat and handing the Deed, that I had drawn the attention of the Crown Solicitor already to the subject. And that is simply all I did in the matter.\"\n\nI shall not waste time upon refuting the crude and unwarranted doubts which Dr. Bridges here confesses himself to have formed, and which the evidence of all present on the occasion but himself convicts him of having uttered. The Chief Justice, after having had his attention called by declaration of the 5th February 1852 (acted on by himself in a judgment delivered on the 28th February following, when he practically overruled the objection of the Acting Colonial Secretary, and sustained the conviction of the culprit). I am content therefore to let that matter rest.\n\nBut the impropriety of Dr. Bridges' conduct would not be the less, even had his views been assented to mine. I confidently accept the issue which he has tendered. He says that, as my Acting Colonial Secretary, if he or any Government Officer has committed an error, it would be his (Dr. Bridges') duty to point it out to him; - and, even had he (Dr. Bridges) done so officially, what I suppose him to have done, he is in no way amenable to my censure, as he is in no way appears to imagine that, in the Supreme Court itself, and in my conduct of the Crown business there, I, Her Majesty's Attorney General, must recognise in the Acting Colonial Secretary, uninstructed with the commands of His Excellency, my superior in official rank.",

        "content_text": "# Letter to the Government of Hong Kong\n\nproviding additional masters and improved appliances. It is committing itself more deeply, more irrevocably to the support of a purely secular system of education. The secular schools are the Government schools, with all the prestige and pre-eminence belonging to that position and a large additional sum of public money will be wasted on them. A boy who now costs at the Central School from $20 to $30 a year will not cost less than $50 or $60 at the new Schools, an extravagance which has never been witnessed in any other British Colony; leaving without education more than 14,000 poor children, who will naturally grow up rogues and thieves in the interests of secularism. Nor is it necessary to expend so much money on behalf of one Secular School on the pretext of forming interpreters to the Government, as experience proves that good interpreters can be had cheaply from Denominational Schools. Denominational Schools are refused recognition as such. Government will only look at them in their secular aspect, and even then gives them but a very disproportionate share of its countenance and support. They are to be subordinated to the Government Schools and under the Government secular inspectors. This is an unsatisfactory position and one we can hardly accept with any degree of self-respect.\n\nWe are under the conviction that the Government in favouring so extravagantly the secular system of education is not carrying on in Hongkong the wishes of the majority. It is a right inherent to the parents to choose the system of education for their children and if we take into consideration the number of children frequenting school in Hongkong, we shall see that the secular Government Schools with all their immense advantages have a less number of pupils than the denominational Schools with all their innumerable disadvantages. Number together the pupils frequenting Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Confucianist Schools you will have not less than 3,000, while from the 2,000 and odd children frequenting the Government Schools you have to take away the pupils of some of the Village Schools, where in spite of the principles proclaimed by the Government in favour of purely secular education, the system of education is practically Confucianist. Even if we consider the tax-payers we are of opinion, that were the Chinese residing in Hongkong to be formally and clearly asked, whether they prefer that the money they annually pay should be employed in giving to Chinese children a purely secular education, or in imparting to them an education according to their religious ideas, I am sure two-thirds would be in favour of the latter.\n\nGovernment must either cease to interfere directly in the work of education by handing its Schools over to some secular organisation, and putting all the schools alike under a liberal grant-in-aid scheme or, if it is impossible for it now to draw back from the position it has taken up, then let that portion of the Government scheme which affects denominational Schools be so modeled that religionists and secularists derive equal benefits from the Government grants.\n\nIf Denominational Schools enter into the Government system, they enter as an inferior class, under restrictions and not entitled to equal consideration and equal rewards with the Government Schools.\n\nTill this inequality is removed how can we enter into the Government system? If we do, we ratify the view the Government takes of us and condone the injury done us in the past. It is enticing Christian boys to go against their conscience, if you favour the secular schools more than the denominational ones.\n\nThis inequality of the Denominational and Secular Schools and school systems in the eyes of the Government is the great obstacle to a speedy settlement of the education question. His Excellency the Governor has keenly seized the point and clearly demonstrated the possible solution in his speech at St. Paul's College on the occasion of the last distribution of prizes, which took place there. Let that be done and everything will be right. Grant us equality in any shape or form and we shall be content.\n\nI subjoin copy of a semi-official letter dated the 10th July last addressed by me to the Acting Inspector of Schools Dr. Eitel.\n\nIn it, I detailed the alterations I should like to see made in the Grant-in-aid Scheme. I can add nothing to what I have said in that letter. I have only to suggest now that if the Grant-in-aid scheme should be amended in the sense of that letter, and if the capitation grant should be increased to something like an adequate figure, and some provision could be made for building grants to Denominational Schools, there would then be something more like equality of treatment and some more reasonable hope of a satisfactory settlement, but these four things are indispensable:\n\n1. Proportionate building grants for Denominational Schools.\n2. Adequate capitation grants.\n3. Payments for results at such rates as will enable a properly conducted school to compete on something like even terms with the Government Schools.\n4. Freedom from restrictions as to methods so long as the required results are obtained.\n\nApologising for the length to which this letter has run, I have the honour to be\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient humble servant,\n\nBishop\n\n## Semi-Official Letter\n\nRAMAX CATHOLIC MISSION HOUSE,\n\nHongkong, 10th July, 1878.\n\nMY DEAR SIR,\n\nI have the honour to return herewith a letter of Dr. BURDON on the subject of grants-in-aid, which you were so good as to leave with me for perusal and consideration. I have already more than once pointed out the gross inequality of the amounts assigned for the standards in purely Chinese schools and in schools for Europeans. Of course, I do not mean absolute inequality, but inequality when compared with the expenditure necessary for the maintenance of each class of school. The grant-in-aid given to a Chinese school nearly covers the whole annual expenses of the school, or at least goes a long way towards it. The largest grant-in-aid that can be earned by a school for Europeans will not cover one month's necessary expenditure in salaries of teachers. The grant-in-aid scheme is liberal as regards the purely Chinese school. It is niggardly as regards schools for Europeans.\n\nIt is difficult to imagine how, with the enormous expenditure of the Central School present to his mind, Mr. STEWART could have prepared a scheme so unfair to such schools as that of St. Joseph's.\n\nI suppose it is useless to ask now for any change in the amounts assigned to each standard. Your proposal to give a capitation grant, however, affords an easy remedy. Let the capitation grant for every European child receiving a suitable education be raised to at least six dollars. This will go some way towards removing the inequality complained of and for the attendance for capitation at 160 days as it is elsewhere.\n\nReferring to our conversation on the subject of the grant-in-aid scheme generally, I shall put down here in writing our objections to this scheme as it now stands. I shall point out in what way it might easily be amended, so as, without undergoing any substantial alteration, to get rid of those objections, and then I shall add a few words from our standpoint on the educational policy of the government generally. I shall be glad if you can lay my views before His Excellency the Governor, giving him, of course, to understand that this communication is at most semi-official and that if he wishes to have my views in a more formal shape I shall be happy to communicate them officially in answer to any application to that effect.\n\nThe Grant-in-Aid scheme is based on the principle of payment by results. It says in effect to the Managers of schools: Satisfy the government that during the year you have educated so many boys up to a certain standard and we will pay you for what you have done at so much per head. The grant-in-aid scheme professes to be indifferent, within very wide limits, as to how the result is attained. It professes to leave the teacher, the books, and the religious instruction to be given in the school to the free choice of the school manager. Why does it not carry out this principle to its fullest extent and leave the manager free in all respects to attain the required results how he pleases, so long as they are satisfactorily attained? Of course, government must exercise a certain amount of supervision, a very large amount if you will, over government-aided schools, but if they are open to inspection at all times, if the Inspector has the power to reduce the entire grant-in-aid by cumulative penalties under the heads mentioned in section 3 of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, published in last Saturday's Gazette, and if the Government has the right to withdraw or refuse a grant on assigning sufficient reasons, it seems to me that enough is done to secure the proper management of the school without dictating how many days each boy must attend school in the year or how many hours each day he must give to particular studies.\n\nThe use of the word \"secular\" as applied to instruction throughout the Code and the stipulations in Sections 1 and 2 that \"secular\" instruction should be given for not less than four hours daily, and that religious instruction should only be given before or after these four hours secular instruction, are most objectionable to us Catholics, who believe and teach that religion ought to pervade every action of our daily lives, and who, on principle, refuse to dissociate religion from education. The phrase \"secular instruction\" has got, through the writings and teachings of the Secularists, a distinct and definite meaning and implies in their minds and in the minds of their followers, teaching from which faith, religious faith is excluded and in which reason reigns supreme. Our principles are the very reverse of all this, and our system of teaching corresponds with our principles. The books we use are drawn up on the plan of combining moral and religious instruction with lessons in reading, in history, geography, and natural science, in fact with everything that is taught. You give us permission to use what books we please provided they contain sufficient matter to satisfy the standards whatever else they may contain. Why not leave our time equally at our disposal, provided we attain the required result of turning out so many boys each year up to the required standards? If we do not do so, we are punished by a diminished grant.\n\nSo long as the word \"secular\" now the recognised shibboleth of a class of educationists, remains in the Code we are in danger, at any change in the Inspector, or in the personnel of the Government of Hongkong, of finding our books, our teachers, our methods of instruction, found fault with on the ground...",

        "content_text": "61\n\n- I don't want to know how many drinks you have; I want to know what your bill at the Hong-kong Hotel and other hotels is.--$1.50 or $2.\n\nYou do a little money lending business, Mr. Rose-No, I don't.\n\nYou swear that ?-Yes.\n\nIs that your signature (handing in a letter) ?→→ Oh, Yes. I know all about that. That is money I advanced to a man from another party.\n\nThe letter put in was to the effect that having received from Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith the sum of $200 the writer had handed over to that person the articles belonging to the person to whom the letter was addressed, which he had been holding as security. The witness was cross-examined at some length on this, but he said he was simply acting for a third party.\n\nNow, according to the details which you have given the court your expenses amount to $90, and your income to $88. Do you mean to tell us that you have been in the Surveyor-General's Department for three years and have had a loss of $2 a month all that time?\n\nWitness-Have you deducted the $10 a month for the room?\n\nWell, let us deduct that. Have you been working at a profit of $8 a month -No, I have not. I have had other income besides,\n\nWhat was that ?-Parties who owed me money from the Oriental have paid me.\n\nBut what I mean is, you have been working in the Surveyor-General's department for three and a half years at a salary which leaves you actually a loser at the end of the month?-No, I can make ends meet.\n\nAnd you simply make ends meet ?---And save $2 a month besides. I have had other money from the Government for doing extra services.\n\nYou are of course aware, Mr. Rose, your appointment, such as it is, depended upon the evidence you have given in the box this morning?-I don't know. I have never thought of it.\n\nYou swear that has had nothing to do with the answers given to the questions put by the learned counsel and myself?-It has not.\n\nThis closed the cross-examination.\n\nMr. Francis-I have nothing to say to Mr. Rose except to apologise for having had to put him in the box and expose him to impertinence.\n\nDefendant-We are here merely to elucidate the truth, and I believe it was done in the Tichborne case-Dr. Kenealy was allowed to call rebutting evidence. I am sorry to inconvenience your Lordship and the jury, but I am prepared, if you give me till to-morrow morning, to prove that the whole of the evidence given by this witness is false. It was allowed in the Tichborne case.\n\nHis Lordship-It must have been under very peculiar circumstances.\n\nDefendant-It was.\n\nHis Lordship-What are the peculiar circumstances in this case? You called evidence in support of the statement. You called your brother, you might have called any other witness you pleased, but you did not.\n\nDefendant-But who could have imagined that matters which I knew myself to be true--that the man would have come forward to swear what he has done.\n\nHis Lordship-You could have called other witnesses, and you could have called him if you had chosen.\n\nDefendant-Not at all. You will note I put a question to him with regard to a conversation I had with him a few weeks ago, Mr. Rose asked me whether I would not do my best to keep his name and the names of the other foremen out of this case.\n\nHis Lordship-How does it bear on this case? We are not trying the members of the Surveyor-General's Department. The question is whether you have committed a libel on Mr. Price.\n\nDefendant-That is the charge.\n\nHis Lordship-I am not trying a charge against Mr. Rose.\n\nDefendant-I am not saying you are, my lord. I simply contend that paragraph was based on information supplied by Mr. Rose and others. However, if your Lordship refuses my application the matter is finished.\n\nHis Lordship-I don't mean that it has really anything to do with the case.\n\nDefendant then addressed the jury. He contended that it was the right of every public writer to criticise the public acts of every public man so long as he did so fairly and without malice, even although the person criticised be severely and harshly dealt with, and even although some of the allegations may not be founded on fact. In the present instance the truth or falsehood of the alleged libel had nothing to do with the case. Had he pleaded justification he would have had to prove the allegations. He did not shrink from doing so through fear or anything of that kind, but simply because he did not consider that the Supreme Court of Hongkong, where he was being tried on a criminal information for libel, was the proper place to investigate the affairs of a public department, as the investigation belonged more properly to the Government. It was that, and that alone, which caused him to withdraw the plea of justification which he put in and to which certain technical objections were raised by the learned counsel. Having pleaded only not guilty he had no right to bring forward anything as to the truth of what was stated.\n\nHe then referred to the decisions in several reported cases, bearing on the law of libel, contending that under those decisions he was justified in what he had done.\n\nHis Lordship said that in all the cases referred to the parties who were prosecuting had themselves brought before the world the matter upon which the comment was made, and asked the defendant if he had any case which showed a newspaper was justified in raking up a scandalous statement, supposing the jury found the paragraph libellous.\n\nThe defendant said he really did not know any case that dealt with the point raised by his Lordship.\n\nHis Lordship-Surely you see the distinction.\n\nDefendant-Well, it may be that I simply take an ordinary common sense view of it apart altogether from legal practice and technicalities.\n\nHis Lordship-It is not a technicality. It is a matter in which the first principles of justice are involved. I simply point it out to you because I am unwilling-\n\nDefendant-I thoroughly understand what your Lordship means.\n\nHis Lordship said it was the public acts of a man that might be commented on.\n\nDefendant-That is what I am contending for.\n\nHis Lordship-Well, I don't see how you can say this is a public act of Mr. Price's. Assuming it to be true that somebody belonging to the Surveyor-General's office stated that Mr. Price liked to keep all the good things to himself, and assuming that was found to be libellous, how could you say it was a public act of Mr. Price's, on which you could comment.\n\nDefendant-I should say it was a proper matter to call attention to, for an investigation--a matter in which the public had an interest.\n\nHis Lordship-You have no authority for that?\n\nDefendant-I think it is laid down by the judges in the cases I have quoted.\n\nHis Lordship-In those cases they were referring to the circumstances they had before them.\n\nDefendant-Well, I am sure your Lordship will be able to lay the law down much more clearly than I can to the jury.\n\nHis Lordship-I shall endeavour to do it as fairly as I can, Mr. Fraser Smith.\n\nDefendant then resumed his address. He repeated that he was away at the time the paragraph in question appeared and knew nothing about it, which he thought would go a long way in relieving the minds of the jury of any idea that he was actuated by malice or improper motives. With reference to the reappearance of the paragraph in the mail issue, he referred to the routine of the office and said he very seldom saw what articles were set aside for the mail paper, and this one did not come before his notice. He had previously remonstrated with his brother for what he thought was a very silly thing to do -not to lay himself open to an action, because he was under the impression at the time an embargo had been laid on officials taking any action in the law courts but to publish the paragraph as it stood. As to the paragraph being republished in the mail paper, the matter never crossed his mind. Perhaps he ought to have seen to it, but he was quite prepared to stand the responsibility of the republication. He quite agreed with everything in the paragraph except the very injudicious reference to what Mr. Rose had told his brother. He referred to Mr. Price's evidence as to the practice adopted in giving out contracts, and said",

        "content_text": "Enclosure 1.\n\n27th May, 1886.\n\nTHE BABY SCARE. The disquieting rumour afloat yesterday has been in some measure dispelled, although there is still a stupid feeling of uneasiness abroad and but few of the scholars have returned to the schools. The rumour was not altogether a sudden outburst. On the day before yesterday there were ugly stories going about a big immolation, which had grown bigger and bigger until they assumed alarming proportions yesterday afternoon. The cause of the putting abroad of such an altogether incredible report it is very difficult to ascertain. There can be no doubt, however, that the excited condition of the minds of the native population arising from the dearth of water was the cause of the alarming rapidity with which the absurd news spread. For weeks the poor people have been grumbling for want of water, being unable to give the extortionate price that was demanded. That this was at the bottom of the matter there is little doubt, for the most wide-spread rumour was that the great sacrifice of the innocents was to be made by the contractor of the Taitam water scheme, who not being able, so the story ran, to complete his scheme within the time stipulated by Government was, according to an old Chinese usage, to propitiate the adverse fates by consecrating his work with the blood of a large number of children. There can be no doubt, however, that the disquieted state of the people's mind found its active expression from other causes which some are more difficult to ascertain. Some think that the Tez-fahead centre's followers had spread the rumour as an act of revenge for the banishment of their chief, and perhaps they may have added a good deal of fuel to the fire. Others lay the blame at the door of the Triad and such like secret societies, and from the fact that the only attempt at open disturbance was made in a centre honeycombed by these societies it cannot be doubted that they had worked up the excitement. But with the natives the most widely diffused belief is that the little spark that led to the combustion was the actual observation of some policemen taking a half dozen young rogues in charge to reprimand them for some offence—a thing which occurs every other day, but which in the fevered state of the people's mind led to the idea that these youngsters were captured by the police for the purpose of handing them over to the contractor of the Taitam water works. This statement, however, is denied by the police.\n\nThe rapidity with which the news spread in the schools was astonishing. In the morning it had only reached the Central School, but ere noon it had spread to the most western point and mothers were to be seen dragging their children away to prevent them from falling into the clutches of the awful Moloch into which the Government of the Colony had been raised in their eyes.\n\nDr Eitel, who had been apprised of the excitement by a school-master, visited the schools in the afternoon and found them nearly deserted. Outside the buildings he found a crowd gathered discussing in an animated manner the dreadful design of the barbarous English Government. On every occasion he went into the centre of the crowd and told them it was all nonsense; and most of the people apparently believed him, for the crowds generally dispersed. One of the crowds contained about 200 or 300 men, and as he approached it he heard cries of 'ta' (kill). He did not know who was meant and made enquiries, finding out that he was the person they wished to take their vengeance on. This crowd, however, also dispersed, but as he went along the lane the people from their houses reflected the cry of 'ta.' A Sikh constable, who was near, chased some of the stragglers. Dr Eitel, thinking he might do more harm than good, counselled him to leave them alone, and again reassured them that their fears were groundless.\n\nAt another part of the city, Queen's Road West, a mob had gathered, and seemed at one time likely to cause some trouble to the authorities. Earlier in the day an attack had been made on an Indian Constable, who was endeavouring to collect fines from two convicted prisoners, and he had to take refuge in a shop and was rather badly wounded in the head by stones thrown by a crowd of coolies. Later on, another Indian Constable had had occasion while parading his beat to take the numbers of certain houses; and what should the stupid people think but that he was bent on carrying off the children in these houses. Accordingly a crowd began to collect and the shopkeepers in the neighbourhood becoming alarmed shut up their shops. News was sent to the Police Office and two strong detachments of police were sent off to the spot. On arriving, however, the Police found they had nothing to do, for the crowd at once quietly dispersed.\n\nEast and West apparently the rumour had travelled with equal speed, and the next demonstration was at Sau-ki-wan. Here it assumed far more alarming proportions than at any other point. News was brought that two launches were coming to carry off their children and great consternation prevailed. From the junks in the harbour volleys were fired as an intimation that the men were determined to defend their children to the last, and then there was a big exodus to the neighbouring mainland. In the evening things had assumed such an alarming appearance that a proclamation had to be sent out; finally the police managed to pacify the mob, and all is now comparatively quiet.\n\nIn Yau-ma-ti also there was great commotion, the children there being sent to Kowloon city, for protection. In fact over every point where the British power extends this extraordinary report seems to have spread, and what is worse to have been believed. It is the mothers, it is said, who are raising all the commotion and who have got into hysterics about their children.\n\nAn example was made of two of the spreaders of the false news at the Police Court this morning. Wan Assi and Chan Afo, fishmongers, were charged with inciting to riot. The evidence against them was given by a lukong, who said that at 1 p.m. he was in the Hang Fa Lau eating house where 40 or 50 men were having tea. The two accused were sitting at a table by themselves. They said to the people in the house, 'The Government is going to arrest 108 boys and 108 girls to sacrifice to the water works and the tramway.' The lukong told the first accused to say no such nonsense. He then retorted that he saw it with his own eyes. Thirty were arrested on Tuesday and five this morning. The lukong then asked the second defendant if he had seen it, and he said he had been told of the matter. The first defendant was fined $5 with the option of one month's hard labour and six hours in the stocks, the second defendant $10 with the option of two weeks' hard labour and three hours in the stocks. Mr Mitchell-Innes said it was painful to think that after the English Government had been doing good to the place for 40 years they should be believed to be more barbarous than any nation on earth. The oldest man in Hongkong could not remember anything of this sort having been done. He did not know what their object was in spreading the false news, but he warned them to be careful in future.\n\nPage 371",

        "content_text": "4\n\nfrom people like yourselves to whom loyalty is not a birthright, but who have acquired it partly from respect and affection for the character of the Queen and partly from gratitude for the institutions and safety you have obtained under Her rule. I have been exceedingly gratified to hear and to see evidence of the manner in which the Chinese are preparing for this celebration. It shows distinctly that our rule and its fairness to all classes, races, creeds, and nationalities is appreciated by the Chinese of Hongkong and I am sure your manifestations of loyalty will be appreciated by Her Majesty. Although, as Mr. Ho Wyson stated, you are not personally known to Her Majesty, you make a great mistake if you believe you are not known to her by repute, and I venture to say that although this is a small and distant part of the Queen's dominions, the loyalty which has been displayed to-day and which has its outcome in this magnificent address will be exceedingly gratifying to Her Majesty. With regard to the absence of Dr. Ho Kai, who has so worthily distinguished himself in seeking to draw closer the bond between the Chinese and the British-born subjects in Hongkong, I can only say I lament greatly that he is unable to be present to undertake that function which has been so worthily performed by Mr. Ho Wyson. This magnificent address, which I should like to see displayed, will I have no doubt, be preserved by Her Majesty and her descendants as a token of the loyalty and love of the Chinese subjects of Hongkong for Herself and Her House. (Applause). I shall take care to forward it on the first opportunity.\n\nThe address was then unrolled and displayed in full. It is about ten feet long by four feet wide. The face is of white satin and the address is embroidered upon this. At the top of the address figures and flowers are beautifully worked in various colours. The back of the address is of yellow satin. After it had been inspected by His Excellency, who expressed his admiration at the richness and beauty of the work, it was hung up in an ante-room, where it was viewed and admired by a large number of persons who attended the reception.\n\nAs soon as the visitors had taken leave of His Excellency, another deputation, representing the Kai-fong or Committee of the Man Mo temple, members of about forty of the leading Chinese firms, was introduced by the Registrar-General, Mr. J. H. Stewart-Lockhart. This deputation presented His Excellency with a tablet which they requested he would hang up in Government House as a testimony of their affection to the Queen and their admiration of English rule.\n\nHis Excellency, in receiving the tablet, said:-Gentlemen, I thank you very much for your expressions of loyalty, and I shall have much pleasure in hanging this tablet in a conspicuous place in Government House, so that visitors now and in future times may see the loyalty which the Chinese subjects in Hongkong displayed on the occasion of the Jubilee.\n\nThe deputation then thanked his Excellency and retired.\n\nThe tablet, which is of brass, upon the border of which flowers are embossed, is about twelve feet in length and four in breadth, and bears upon it the Chinese characters meaning \"Everlasting prosperity.\"\n\nTHE GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION. The time fixed for the reception was eleven o'clock, and as soon as the clock struck the hour the early arrivals put in an appearance. From that time up till about a quarter past eleven there was a steady flow of visitors, comprising officers from Her Majesty's men-of-war, military officers, and civilians, anxious to pay their respects to Her Majesty's Representative. His Excellency was supported on his right by His Excellency Major-General Cameron, C.B., (who arrived at Government House while the Chinese deputation were presenting their address), and was assisted by Lieut. Somerville, who acted as aide-de-camp, and Mr. Slingsby Bethell, his private secretary.\n\nTHE BRITISH ADDRESS. Shortly after a quarter past eleven the Jubilee Committee arrived bearing the English Address. The visitors who had spread themselves over different rooms now gathered in the room where the reception had taken place.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING, addressing his Excellency, said-Sir, it is with much pleasure that I find myself to-day the representative of the British community of Hongkong in presenting to your Excellency this loyal Address for transmission to Her Majesty the Queen. The address expresses without any exaggeration our feeling of attachment to Her Majesty's throne and person, and I feel I could not with propriety add one word to it. Before handing it to your Excellency with the request from the signatories that you will be pleased to forward it to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for presentation to the Queen, I will, Sir, with your permission, read it.\n\nMr. Bell-Irving then read the address, which is as follows:--- May it please your Majesty:\n\nWe, Your Majesty's subjects settled in the colony of Hongkong, desire to offer to Your Majesty our humble and sincere congratulations on the completion of fifty years of Your glorious and distinguished reign, and to assure Your Majesty of our devoted loyalty and attachment to Your Royal House and Person.\n\nConsiderations connected with the climate of the little island we inhabit have caused us to be later than all others in approaching the Throne on this joyful occasion, yet we can but feel proud that the unexampled rejoicings which-commencing with the august Empire of India-have encircled the world, should now be closed by our colony, the first territory added to Your Majesty's Realm after Your Accession Fifty Years ago.\n\nAnd as the first outpost in the Far East annexed by Your Majesty's government to the Crown of England, we venture to hope that the marvellous development and increasing prosperity of our colony may not be subjects entirely without personal interest to its Founder and first Ruler.\n\nA barren and desolate rock, the haunt only of a few pirates, on the borders of the most exclusive Empire then known, Hongkong offered but little as encouragement for the future. Now it is clothed with trees, its slopes are the site of a great and flourishing city bearing the commemorative name of our beloved Sovereign, its harbour is thronged with ships from every quarter of the globe. Its chief difficulty is to gain room for the yearly increasing commerce which forms its wealth, and for the thousands of Chinese who are attracted to its shores by its safety and its resources.\n\nIn the midst of our moral and physical progress, we have not forgotten how much we owe to Your Majesty's just and beneficent Rule. The authority of the Law, while strengthened and upheld, has ever been tempered with clemency. The liberty of the subject has been sacred. The freedom of the press has been protected. Life and property have been rendered secure, not without unexampled difficulty in the earlier days of our history, and the universal trust reposed in the wisdom of British Rule and British Policy towards Native Races has engendered a mutual goodwill between the various nationalities of our cosmopolitan Community, who, at this moment, unite with us in manifestation of devotion to Your Majesty. We earnestly pray that the blessings of a Reign marked by such unprecedented progress and prosperity as have characterized that of Your Majesty may be long continued to us. And that Your Majesty may, under Divine Providence, be spared in health and in happiness to witness the completion of every good work, moral, intellectual, and physical,-which it has been Your study and Your pleasure to promote, and that You may richly share in that happiness which Your Majesty's wise counsels and earnest solicitude have secured to Your loving subjects throughout the Empire.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 9th November, 1887.\n\n[Here follow signatures.]\n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR replied as follows:-Mr. Bell-Irving, ladies and gentlemen, I am most glad to accede to the request made that I should forward this Address to Her Majesty. To one who has so lately come to be one of you, I hope for some years, as Her Majesty's Representative, it is especially gratifying to find that the loyalty which has found such universal expression in all other parts of the world has received so remarkable a manifestation here in this distant outpost of Her dominions. The demonstration of gladness which is taking place here, though last is certainly not the least among the many which have excited the envy and astonishment of other nations in this jubilee year, and indeed relatively to numbers and wealth is probably one of the greatest of all. There has been brought to me this morning, on behalf of the Chinese community, the magnificent embroidered address to Her Majesty which you see behind me, and I mention this as a special reason for pleasure in receiving the address from you, gentlemen, to whom loyalty to Her Majesty may...\n\n530",

        "content_text": "## 334\n\n## Fern Shed\n\nA structure about 50 feet long with bamboo screen roof, and wooden tables has been erected for the cultivation of ferns and shade plants for sale.\n\n## Seed Shed\n\nFor some years a very perishable matshed has been used for the protection from rain, excessive sun-light, and ants, of delicate newly sown seeds. This shed has been replaced with a more permanent structure built of hard-wood, with one side of the ridge-roof glazed. Attacks on the seeds by ants have been circumvented by having the pedestals which support the tables resting in small masonry tanks for holding water.\n\n## Potting, Carpenters, and Soil Sheds\n\nAll of these have been re-constructed with leaf matting and bamboos during the year. Means have never been available for them to be made of anything more substantial than bamboos and matting. These structures ought to be all made of substantial brickwork with tiled roofs as soon as sufficient money can be spared.\n\n## Rockeries\n\nThe improvements at the North-East entrance gates which were recommended in 1886 have been carried out so far as the construction of the rockeries is concerned, and the planting of them is now being proceeded with.\n\n## Labelling of Plants\n\nA large number of new labels have been lettered and put down, besides many of the old ones having been renewed. I hope that the present year will see all the plants in the Gardens efficiently labelled. If funds were available for the purpose it would be more economical to label the plants with indestructible terra-cotta labels having the names enamelled and burnt in, in place of the perishable wooden labels at present in use.\n\n## Lawns\n\nThe grass in many places, especially where it has been so much injured by the crowds of people who attended the Al Fresco Fêtes which have been held in the Gardens during the last two years, has become very thin. The lawns urgently need surface dressings of enriching composts, but the maintenance vote is insufficient to admit of this being done.\n\n## Flower Beds\n\nThe soil in these needs changing, and the whole design of the arrangements of beds and walks on the lower terrace would be better altered, when great improvements could be effected. In these contemplated improvements I should like to effectually work in a fit erection for the accommodation of the Regimental Band at its weekly performances, instead of the unsuitable existing arrangements.\n\n## Aviaries\n\nThe old structures in the northern part of the New Garden, which had become thoroughly dilapidated, and which were not very suitable for aviaries, have been demolished, and a new aviary in four divisions has been constructed near the bear house in the southern part of the Old Garden. The aviary faces the sun and has its back to the north, thus affording shelter to the occupants of the aviary from the cold winds of the dry season and the violent storms of the rainy one.\n\n## Al Fresco Fête\n\nWhatever good may be said for the objects of the Fête, and they were most worthy, which was held in the Gardens in November, it is generally admitted that the handing over of the Gardens to Committees who have little or no interest in the Gardens themselves, or at least very little interest compared with their great object in endeavouring to make the entertainments financial successes, has a most injurious effect on the Gardens. Although greater precautions were taken on the occasion of the last Fête to provide against injury to the Gardens, still a large amount of damage was inflicted besides having the order and beauty of the Gardens upset for a considerable time before, and a very long time after the Fête.\n\n## Musical Performances\n\nBy the kindness of the Colonel and Officers of the 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment, visitors to the Gardens have been entertained with the performances of the Band in the Gardens once a week throughout the year, with a few exceptions owing to weather and other causes. The Band, as already alluded to, is in need of an appropriate Band Stand which should be a structure of a character in harmony with the Gardens. The Band Stand in the Gardens, which was generously presented by the Parsee community in 1866, has not been used for some years on account of its situation being unsuitable for music to be heard from it to the terraces below where visitors congregate and promenade; it is also too small to accommodate the number of men of which the band consists.\n\n## Sale of Plants\n\nThe total number of plants sold was 1,267; they realised $365.41. In 1886 the plants which were sold realised $409.35, and the number sold was 1,918.\n\nAs the plants in the Gardens are now labelled to a sufficient extent to enable visitors to ascertain the name of any tree, shrub, or plant which is cultivated in the Gardens, I would take this opportunity of advising would-be purchasers to make their choice of plants from an inspection of the larger specimens throughout the Gardens which show better what purposes the plants are suitable for than the small specimens kept in stock for sale in the nursery, to which the public generally confine their attention.\n\n## Statue\n\nI regret to have to chronicle the loss of shrubs and trees of great beauty which had taken 20 years of fostering care to bring them to the condition they were in before their destruction in order to provide a site—which had been selected two or three years ago—for the erection of the statue which was placed in the Gardens towards the close of the year. The Gardens have not been benefited by the change which was made in them, nor yet does it appear that the statue itself has obtained a position which is the best that could have been desired for the exhibition of such a fine and costly work of art. In view of these disadvantages it is to be hoped that the removal of the statue may receive some consideration when the day arrives for it.\n\nI might here submit that the interests of the Gardens should have a strong claim to be represented by special professional judgment when the introduction of foreign objects is contemplated. The site for the statue was selected by a body of gentlemen and approved by the Government without the knowledge of, or any reference for an opinion from, the Superintendent of the Gardens.\n\n## Teff (Eragrostis Abyssinica)\n\nThis is a cereal indigenous to Abyssinia. It produces small seeds from which is obtained an excellent flour that is extensively used in Abyssinia as an article of food. The Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, obtained from Abyssinia a quantity of seeds of it for distribution to Colonial and other gardens for experimental cultivation. This garden received some of the seeds; they were sown on March 10th, and germinated well, and the seedlings grew rapidly and ripened their seeds in the middle of July, that is, only four months elapsed from the sowing of the seeds to the harvesting of the crop; the yield was abundant. Seeds were distributed amongst native agriculturists and information on the nature of the cereal was given to them, but the recipients of the seeds do not seem to have done anything with them so far as I have been able to learn.\n\n## **DISTRIBUTION AND INTERCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS**\n\nExchanges have been conducted as far as circumstances permitted. Two hundred and seventy-six packets and parcels of seeds, weighing fifty pounds, and one thousand four hundred and twenty-nine plants were received. One hundred and twenty-two packets and parcels of seeds, weighing seventy pounds, and one thousand six hundred and twenty-seven plants were distributed.\n\nThe following are the lists of recipients and donors of plants and seeds:—\n\n### Recipients\n\n| Name | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Anderson, Colonel |  |\n| Apcar, A.

        "content_text": "# ROYAL MESSAGES 2700188 TRADE REPORT SQUARE ...\n\nis deservedly held in such high esteem.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nMy Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient\nHumble Servant, Goodeaux\n\n## Enclosure 1.\n\n**The Daily Press.**\n\nHONGKONG, August 29TH, 1888.\n\n### POLICE GALLANTRY REWARDED.\n\nGovernment House was yesterday the scene of a pleasing little ceremony, the occasion being the presentation by His Excellency to Khan Singh, an Indian Constable, of a \"Belilios\" medal and $25 for gallantly rescuing a Chinaman from drowning some time ago. The whole of the Force who were off duty, consisting of European, Indian, and Chinese constables and numbering some 150, attended the presentation under the command of Captain Donno. Major Dempster, Chief Inspector Horspool, and Inspectors Baker and Ganid. Mr. Francis, Q.C., and Dr. Eitel, two of the trustees of the \"Belilios\" fund, were also present. The Force having been drawn up in double file in front of the house, His Excellency Khan standing on the steps facing them, Singh was called to the front in company with another constable, Bezan Singh, who has also performed a similar act to that of Khan Singh and whose case is now receiving the attention of His Excellency.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY then addressed Khan Singh as follows, the effect being interpreted to him:-- Police Constable Khan Singh. I am here to-day, on an occasion which gives me great pleasure to reward you for an act of gallantry. That which enables me to make you the presentation which I am about to make to-day is a fund that has been created by Mr. Belilios, one of our fellow-colonists. He has invested a sum of $3,000 with trustees, consisting of Mr. Francis, Q.C., Dr. Eitel, and Rev. Mr. Jennings, to apply the interest, in the first instance, to reward acts of gallantry performed in this colony or in the waters of Hongkong, Canton and Macao, and to apply any surplus to the cause of public education. It was a munificent act on the part of Mr. Belilios to create this fund; it is public-spirited on the part of the trustees to devote their time and trouble to its application; it is still more honourable to deserve its application as you have done, by an act of gallantry. In order that you and your comrades and the public may know the particulars of the act which I am about to acknowledge to-day, I will state the particulars. I am informed that when on duty at the Canton Steamboat Wharf on the 30th of July last you jumped into fourteen or fifteen feet of water, clothed as you were, and rescued a Chinaman, named Lu Chun, from almost certain death. The Chinaman had tried to jump from the departing Canton steamer to the wharf. He failed, and fell into the sea then eddying strongly round the piles of the pier under the combined motion of the strong tide and the paddles of the steamer. That was an act that would have conferred honour on any man; I am more especially glad it was performed by a member of the Police Force, and for special reasons that it was a member of the Indian Police that it was performed by, and on behalf of a Chinaman. I don't believe the account that I have sometimes heard that the Indian Police are regarded by the Chinese as rather a terror than a protection; I don't believe there is really any general or substantial ground for it. At the same time acts occasionally do occur which, I am afraid, give, to a certain extent, colour to such an idea. I have recently had to use terms of very strong censure in respect of such action on the part of the Police with reference to a Chinese householder, and I have myself seen what gave me great displeasure, namely, rough treatment on the part of the Police to unoffending passengers in the streets. It therefore gives me more especial pleasure to be present on an occasion such as to-day, which shows that even if some members of the Force occasionally do what is not their duty in this respect, at all events there are others who, when occasion requires, will risk the sacrifice of their lives even for a Chinaman. If therefore the notoriety given to to-day's proceedings should have the effect of improving the feeling between the Police and the Chinese it will not be the least of the good that will result from it. Now I have much pleasure in presenting you with this medal.\n\nHis Excellency then pinned the medal on Khan Singh's breast, at the same time handing him the sum of $25 and the accompanying certificate.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, still addressing Khan Singh, added-I give you that as a testimonial of the esteem and admiration which is felt for your conduct by your fellow-colonists, and I trust the sight of that medal will always encourage you on similar occasions to similar deeds, and that it will also incite others to follow your example of self-sacrificing courage. As for you, Bezan Singh, I hear that a similar act of gallantry was performed by you; I have not learnt the particulars as yet, but when they are before me, and if the act performed by you appears to be equal to that performed by Khan Singh, I intend to recommend you both for the medal of the Royal Humane Society in England.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY then stepped forward and shook hands warmly with both men, thus bringing the ceremony to a conclusion.\n\nPage 627",

        "content_text": "587 \n\nobserved till the date of my departure on Leave March 1890.\n\n## Schools\n\n(3) The assumption then by the Inspector of Schools of right to interfere in the management of Victoria College (rules, discipline, &c.) is quite novel; and is a manifest infringement of the authority conferred on me at my appointment by Lord Kimberley.\n\n(4) I submit that if in 1881 the Secretary of State had felt assured that Dr. Eitel was the suitable person to control the management of Victoria College, it was quite superfluous to authorise Dr. Legge to select an Oxford man of high degree to be nominal Head Master under Dr. Eitel's control. Under these circumstances it would have been much less expensive to have made the late Mr. Falconer, Head Master.\n\n## Events in 1892\n\n(5) Acting on Dr. Eitel's suggestion about raising the College fees, without any previous report being required from the Head Master, the only officer who has facts on the case at his disposal, His Excellency orders the Head Master to report jointly with the Inspector of Schools (whose opinion was already known) and the Registrar General.\n\n(6) 30th May Dr. Eitel forwarded to His Excellency his Annual Report, in which the paragraph on Victoria College is, if true, manifestly the most serious censure that Establishment could receive. No opportunity is given to the Head Master of explanation, though the Report was not published till 16th November, five months later.\n\n(7) Dr. Eitel proposes to abolish Chinese instruction in Victoria College, making it optional for boys to prosecute studies in their native language, and for this purpose handing over the unrestrained use of classrooms and Government property to masters and boys not under the Head Master's control. Not only is this revolutionary change not submitted to the Head Master, but he is again instructed to confer with the Inspector of Schools and Registrar General.\n\n(8) The same course is pursued as to a suggestion of reducing the College Departmental expenses.\n\n(9) The above shews clearly that His Excellency does not recognise the Head Master as independent head of Victoria College, but as absolutely subordinate to the Inspector of Schools.\n\n(10) Further, at two or three of the meetings of the above triumvirate, Dr. Eitel made allusion to the approaching re-organisation of the College under my charge. This was the first heard of suggestions evidently made by himself to His Excellency, long previously.\n\n(11) It is submitted, therefore, that a Head Master who for 8½ years (1881-1889) has exercised the full control of the College, and by whom all alterations in fees, studies, &c., were submitted to the Governor, is justified in viewing himself as entirely superseded by the new regime.\n\n(12) It is manifest that a Head Master cannot be responsible for the consequences of changes effected in spite of his distinct protest; and that the reputation of the College and the Educational Department must suffer by such action.",

        "content_text": "way, refusing partnership alliance with Europeans, and strictly confining itself to the relations of buyer and seller, so in matters of education also the leading men among the Chinese population have hitherto stood aloof from Government grants-in-aid as much as from the schools of Christian missions. Nevertheless, of the 10,000 children now under instruction in the schools of this colony, hardly one-fifth attend those Kaifong schools, whilst over 8,000 children, mostly Chinese, are crowding into the schools established by Church and State. Moreover, those Kaifong schools are now, so far as accommodation and scope of teaching is concerned, in the same cramped and slipshod condition in which they were 50 years ago, and as oblivious of the needs of female education as ever. On the other hand, the Mission schools and the Government schools, largely patronized by the Chinese people, are from year to year steadily improving their accommodation, their organization, and their methods of teaching, and drawing into the education net both boys and girls of all nationalities. Lest among the audience some of the leaders and representatives of the Chinese community, and I would earnestly call upon them to reconsider their attitude of isolation, not merely apart from, but virtually in opposition to the main drift of the educational movement of this colony. I would ask them to consider that the onward sweep of the world tolerates no longer any standing still, in matters of education no more than in politics, trade or civilization, that in the increasingly keen competitive struggle for individual or national existence, the victory is now with the educated, while the illiterate remain ciphers in society or become the dangerous tools of designing agitators; that, as Chancellor Kent put it, the parent who sends big sons into the world uneducated (in the modern sense of the word) defrauds the community of a useful citizen and bequeaths to it a nuisance.\" I would add that he who does not send his daughter to school must be regarded as an enemy of coming generations. By all means, I should say, let the leaders of the Chinese community strike out a path of their own in matters of education, but let them remember that the welfare and success of the Chinese people of this Colony require girls' schools as much as boys' schools, demand English as well as Chinese teaching, and necessitate a modern and moral rather than an antique or merely intellectual training of the people. Sir, I have spoken of the three great educational agencies at work in this colony, the people, the Church, and the State. It is to Mr. Belilios that we owe the addition of a third educational agency, as important, as powerful, as necessary as the others, the agency of private generosity in creating educational endowments. The endowed schools of England have hitherto been and still are the backbone of England's educational system. I will go further and say the endowed Schools of Europe were and are the mainsprings of European civilization and greatness. Hongkong, I am sure, needs educational endowments as well as the agencies of Church and State. Mr. Belilios has taken the initiative in creating several educational Trust Funds, for the encouragement of medical studies among the Chinese, for the promotion of female education among all classes, and so forth. The interests of the colony call upon others, whom God has blessed with worldly goods, to follow and, if possible, improve upon, the example set by Mr. Belilios, by creating educational endowments. In conclusion, I commend to Your Excellency the acceptability of the building, which accommodates over 600 children. Mr. Belilios has generously erected it on ground provided, with equal generosity, by the Government and which he desires to hand over to the unrestricted control of the Government, under the name of \"The Belilios Public School.\"\n\nHis Excellency said-Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very pleasant task to perform this afternoon, and that is to accept, on behalf of myself and all future Governors of Hongkong, this princely gift which has been presented to the public of Hongkong by the Honourable Emmanuel Raphael Belilios. (Applause). I may mention in connection with it that several years ago Mr. Belilios offered to build a school for girls if the Government on its part would provide a suitable site. This offer, for reasons which were doubtless sufficient, was declined by my immediate predecessor, Sir William Des Vieux. Shortly after my arrival here in December, 1891, that offer was repeated, and after consultation with the Director of Public Works and the Inspector of Schools I gratefully accepted that offer. Having inspected this building, ladies and gentlemen, and looking at it from this standpoint, I must say that I consider myself very fortunate in having, even to a very slight extent, been associated with Mr. Belilios in this charitable and benevolent undertaking. Mr. Belilios has made the question of education, and especially of female education, his own in Hongkong. This building is capable, as Dr. Eitel has just stated, of holding between 600 and 700 girls, and that it will be of immense benefit to the Chinese community goes without saying. But Mr. Belilios's generous acts did not commence with this School, and I trust they are not terminated with it. He has established several scholarships here at a cost of $14,000. He has given a site to the Committee of the Medical College valued at least at $15,000, and has pledged himself to erect a College thereon at a cost of $34,000 if the maintenance of that building can be guaranteed either by private or public support. I do not wish to make any promise in regard to that project, but I shall only be too happy if, during my tenure of office, I should find myself in a position to take it into favourable consideration. This building has cost $30,000. Now, for the last fifty years the community of Hongkong has been distinguished for its liberality in subscribing towards private and public charity, and from time to time many wealthy individuals have given large sums for private and public objects. But I believe I am right in saying there is no single instance of one public institution having been founded and erected by one single individual. That is the case with the Belilios School. Such remarkable benevolence and generosity are not common in Her Majesty's colonies, though they are not infrequent in the great dependency of India, and I venture to think on this account that Mr. Belilios is not only entitled to the thanks of the present generation but that he is entitled to and will gain the respect and admiration of the community of Hongkong in all time to come. (Applause). He has spent a portion of his wealth most nobly, and the good results which will flow from his munificence will be a lasting record of his great efforts in the cause of education and public health. I am sure, ladies and gentlemen, you will all be pleased to hear that our most gracious sovereign the Queen has been made acquainted with Mr. Belilios's liberality, and I am instructed by the Secretary of State, and in giving me that instruction he has expressed his own personal pleasure, I am instructed to say that Her Majesty has approved of the honour of the Companionship of St. Michael and St. George being bestowed upon our worthy and honoured citizen. (Loud applause). No way in Hongkong is more worthy of that honour, and no man in Hongkong, I am sure, will value it more than Mr. Belilios will do. I only now have to accept, on my own behalf, and on behalf of future Governors of Hongkong, this building, and I also have to accept the responsibility which its maintenance entails. I say, and I am sure you will all say with me, may the Belilios Public School flourish; may it be the means—and I am sure that is Mr. Belilios's chief wish—may it be the means of elevating the social scale of many of the Chinese girls of Hongkong, and of spreading amongst them and their relatives on the mainland a fuller knowledge of Western methods of thought and Western educational and civilizing influences. I have only to congratulate you, sir, upon the opening of this building, and to congratulate you most heartily, Mr. Belilios, upon the honour your most gracious sovereign has been pleased to confer upon you. (Applause.) His Excellency amid loud applause cordially shook the Hon. E. R. Belilios by the hand.\n\nThe Hon. E. R. Belilios said-Your Excellency, Lady Robinson, ladies and gentlemen. Before handing over the keys of this building I have to thank Your Excellency and Dr. Eitel for the flattering remarks you let fall when alluding to what you were pleased to regard as acts of benevolence on my part to this colony. I can assure you, sir, that what little I have done in the past and whatever (God willing) I may be able to do in the future has been and will be undertaken, not with any thought of self-glorification but purely and simply for love of this island, where I have spent the best years of my life, and from esteem for that great book, the Bible, which solemnly imposes on man as one of his first duties to do good to his fellows to the best of his means and ability. This honour of the Companionship of St. Michael and St. George which you have just conferred on me is a pleasant surprise to me. If I had known it was coming I would have detained my family from going home in order that they should have been present to have witnessed the ceremony performed and to have participated...\n\n475",

        "content_text": "I participated in the enjoyment of this, the greatest day of my life. But, sir, it is to you that I am indebted for the honour, because it is you who has recommended it, and I believe that by performing this ceremony you have not only conferred an honour on us but conferred an everlasting favour on the colony, because by this function which you have performed you will stimulate others—men of means—to come forward and do good to the colony. We require several buildings of this kind to be erected in this place in order to decorate and embellish this one island home. I again repeat, sir, that by conferring this honour on me you have conferred an everlasting blessing on the colony and its inhabitants. (Cheers.) Your Excellency, I think that great credit is due to Dr. Eitel, the Inspector of Schools, for initiating the work of female education in this Colony and for inducing the Government to establish the school for girls which will now be domiciled in this building. I am persuaded that we shall confer on the next generation of colonists through this school greater and more permeating benefits than can possibly accrue to them through any college for boys existing in the city.\n\nOne of our sages, the wise King Solomon, has told us in Scripture, in Proverbs, 10th chap., 1st verse, that \"a wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.\" As you are all aware, the characters and dispositions of children are formed and modelled in the home circle, of which the mother is or should be the presiding genius. It is her gentle precepts and refining influence that give the tone in all his after life to the son before he goes forth into the world. If the mother has not enjoyed the advantages of education this softening, this refining influence is absent; the son instead of gladdening his father's heart! runs wild, is neglected, grows up rude and idle and unrestrained, unfitted to take his part in society and ready to acquire all the faults and vices an ill-regulated and coarse mind adopts with natural facility. The result is misery in the home: the disappointed mother reproaches herself for having brought into the world a foolish and an unworthy son; the father laments over the destruction of his hope because his son will no longer carry on his labours or perpetuate his name with honour.\n\nUnless therefore we have educated mothers we cannot expect to see wise, virtuous, and learned sons grow up to extend and develop the progress of civilization and the growth of science and truth. Consequently it is of paramount importance to the state and to society that the future mothers of our races should be educated so that their sons may be fitted to carry on the trust committed to them. The scholars of this school, girls to-day, will be women shortly and in turn mothers of families; through them and through all those who are educated in this school in years to come we hope to disseminate knowledge and imbue with refined ideas hosts of men and women in this island. Let us make Hongkong the Oxford and Cambridge of China, the seat of learning for the vast empire on whose fringe we stand. Let us send forth highly-educated men and women to overrun this empire. Instead of maintaining in this part of the world a great navy and a strong military force let us curtail and reduce them, and the funds thus saved let us devote to the upkeep of schools to educate the Chinese.\n\nInstead of opening up the country by force of arms to our commerce, our industries, and our manufactures, let us endeavour to create an amicable link between China and the West by sending forth educated Chinese into the empire from this tiny dot on her coast. Men and women taught to think and act as we do scattered over China would leaven the mass, and the people, taught by gratitude, would learn to think well of the British nation, be eager to welcome commerce with us, and ready to exchange ideas as well as goods. And all this by pacific means! In furtherance of such a cause I would grudge no extra expense this school may entail on the colony; on the contrary, I shall be prepared to join in a vote for any additional expenditure that may be proposed by Government for the purpose of educating the Chinese.\n\nConsidering the progress the school has made during the past year, I believe that ere long we shall find it as popular among the Chinese as Victoria College has proved, and that, as in the case of that establishment, the applications for admittance will exceed the accommodation at our disposal. There is another and a very important point in connection with the education of girls in this colony I should like to touch upon. It must never be lost sight of that the position of woman in China is at present a degraded one. She is regarded as an inferior being in most ranks of life, and in the lowest is too often a mere beast of burden, treated little better than are the Red Indian squaws. Education will do very much to rectify this injustice, by raising the status of women and placing the mother on a level with the stronger sex.\n\nIt will also, I hope, in the course of time lead to the extinction of women slavery and all its horrors in China. As one means towards so humane and beneficent an end, I trust this movement for the better education of Chinese girls in Hongkong will command the universal support of all classes of the community. Your Excellency, I am glad to note that the learning of Chinese is optional in this school. I hope the same system will soon be adopted in all the public schools of the colony.\n\nSome twelve years ago the then Governor appointed a Commission to inquire as to whether or not it would be advisable to abolish the teaching of Chinese in our schools. I had the honour to be a member of that Commission, but unfortunately for the question under discussion the Chairman presiding was biased from the commencement in favour of instruction in Chinese, and he succeeded in converting almost all my colleagues to his views. It was uphill work therefore for me, but with a good deal of persuasion I got the Commission to modify their decision, with the result that we recommended that the four hours then devoted to Chinese should be reduced to two and a half per day.\n\nNow I go further than that. Seeing that it requires pretty nearly a lifetime to acquire a thorough knowledge of Chinese, and that the majority of the parents wish their children to learn English only, bearing in mind that two hours and a half is insufficient time for the purpose, and is therefore wasted in attempting its acquisition, and remembering how much can be done in learning English in the time, it will, I maintain, be advisable to abolish the teaching of Chinese in our schools. Chinese youths attending our schools can readily acquire a sufficient knowledge of their own language in their homes after they have completed their English education. One is never too old for the pursuit of learning, and in China do we not hear authenticated cases of nonogenarians going up to the literary examination to compete for the much coveted degree?\n\nI believe, sir, that if another Commission were appointed to consider the question I have referred to, after the experience we have had of the failure of the system in vogue, its verdict would be adverse to the one recorded by the last Education Commission, and that there would be little opposition to the abandonment of the study of Chinese in our schools. By imparting a sound knowledge of English to an ever-increasing number of Chinese on this island who will subsequently leave for different parts of the neighbouring empire, we shall be taking the very best means to promote by their instrumentality a truer knowledge of our civilization, our aims and hopes, to the end that erroneous notions often attended with mischievous results concerning Western nations will be dissipated, and the foundation laid of a good mutual understanding.\n\nIn this way really friendly relations between England and China will be established and all causes of dispute avoided, paving the way for the peaceful advance of China in a yet higher civilization than that which it has for ages enjoyed. (Cheers). With these remarks I have much pleasure in handing your Excellency the keys of the building, and I beg to request you kindly to walk up and open the edifice, and to allow the several classes of students standing here to go in and occupy their respective school-rooms. (Cheers.)\n\nCheers were given for H.E. Sir William and Lady Robinson and for Hon E. R. Belilios.\n\nThe company then, led by His Excellency, entered the classrooms and the pupils took their seats at their desks, on each of which was an orange and apple and some bonbons. A little scholar handed Lady Robinson a choice bouquet amid applause.\n\nLady Robinson, in reply, said—Ladies and gentlemen, you may think it presumptuous on my part to speak after the Governor and Mr. Belilios and Dr. Eitel, but I think you will consider my presumption less than it appears at first sight when you hear that my words are supposed to be addressed only to the girls, many of whom are my old friends. You have heard from the Governor and Dr. Eitel how much the Colony owes to Mr. Belilios, and how much more the debt has been increased by the bestowal, this afternoon, of this building.",

        "content_text": "No. 12.\n\nSIR,\n\nEnclosure No. 1.\n\nGovernment Analyst to Colonial Surgeon,\n\nGOVERNMENT LABORATORY,\n\nHONGKONG, 1st July, 1893,\n\nMy attention was first called to the practice of Morphine injecting among the Chinese about a month ago by Dr. ATKINSON, when handing me a bottle of liquid alleged to have been prepared for subcutaneous injection which on analysis proved to be a solution of Hydrochlorate of Morphine.\n\n2. At my request our Compradore, Mr. Hoo A Choo, brought me, about a month ago, a victim of this pernicious habit who volunteered the following statement:-\n\n\"My name is CHU A YEE. I am a barber, and am 28 years of age. The marks on my arms and thighs are caused by a needle used for inserting medicine. I took the medicine for the first time in this way in October last. At first I had two injections daily, one in the morning and one in the evening. Afterwards, when I had diarrhea and pains in the stomach, I had one or two injections more.\n\nAfter using the injections for three months, my arm used to be very stiff at night. I am now having four or five injections daily. Have had two this morning (12 noon). At first I paid two cents for each injection. I now only pay one cent. I had the injections in the first place because I was told by many people that they would cure me of the opium habit. Have not smoked any opium since October 1892. Up to that date I had been an opium smoker for more than a year. I felt better when I smoked opium than I do now. I used to get medicine injected at the Chun Tak-tong, drug shop, Wyndham Street. They were made this morning by CHAN MUI YUK, Queen's Road Central.\"\n\n3. I may mention that the man on that date weighed 112 lbs. He appeared somewhat dazed.\n\n4. Thinking it would be useful to have some information as to the strength of the Morphine solution I requested Mr. Hoo A CHOO to obtain a supply. He forwarded it to me on Sunday last. I then requested him to send the actual purchaser to my Office. The man came on the 29th ultimo. He was the barber referred to in paragraph 2. His appearance had certainly not improved. Weight 107 lbs.-a loss of 5 lbs. within a month. He said that he had had three injections that day.\n\n5. He made the following statement:-\n\n\"On the 25th June, Mr. Hoo A Choo gave me $1.30 to buy some medicine. I went to Tsing Lok Hin, 87, Queen's Road West, and saw the man who had given me injections on a former occasion. I asked him to let me have some of the medicine he uses.\n\nHe filled the bottle (one fluid ounce) I had with me and charged 20 cents for it. I handed the bottle to MAK KAT.\n\n6. MAK KAU informed me that he handed this bottle to Mr. Hoo A. Choo personally.\n\n7. Submitted to analysis this solution yielded 2% of Morphine-2.5% of the Hydrochlorate or Muriate, the commonest commercial salt of this alkaloid.\n\n8. The solid preparation handed to me by Dr. ATKINSON a few days ago proved to be Hydrochlorate of Morphine.\n\n9. It appeared to me desirable to have ocular proof of this practice. Accordingly accompanied by Mr. CHAU KAM-TSUN, one of my assistants, I went to No. 87, Queen's Road West, yesterday morning. I directed him to go upstairs and ask the man in charge if he would allow me to visit his establishment. No objection being offered, I entered and observed three men asleep on mats, and about 12 or 15 standing in the verandah. Some of the men, I was informed, had just had injections; the others were waiting their turn. There were numerous puncture scars on their arms. I saw two operations performed. In one case about 15 minims, and in the other case about 20 minims were injected. The operator informed me that there was a limit as to the number of minims he injected and that the quantity used depended on the amount of opium his patients had been in the habit of smoking. The Syringe used was a good instrument of American manufacture. The operation was performed in the usual way and after each injection the needle was wiped with a dirty rag. The operator said, he prepared the solution himself from a powder purchased at a European Pharmacy and showed me an empty bottle labelled 'Muriate of Morphine, Poison.'\n\n10. I may here mention that this injecting business is a profitable undertaking. I understand the Chinese can buy Hydrochlorate of Morphine locally at $2.50 per ounce (437.5 grains). From this quantity 875 injections each containing half a grain of Morphine Hydrochlorate could be prepared. This would leave a profit of $6.25 on each ounce of Morphine at a charge of 1 cent for each injection. If a third of a grain were used at each injection the profit would be about $10.00.\n\n11. There can be no two opinions as to the baneful nature of this practice, and no effort should be spared to stop it forthwith.\n\n12. The Ordinance should be made as sweeping as possible. A saving clause in favour of practitioners registered under Ordinance No. 6 of 1884 would, I presume, be necessary. Native practitioners holding diplomas granted by the College of Medicine for Chinese should not be exempted from the operation of the Bill. Having regard to the profitable character of the business, as set forth in paragraph 10, the temptation to take up the practice of injecting Morphine would be great indeed.\n\n13. At the same time something should, I think, be done to relieve the sufferings of those now having injections if the practice is made illegal. These men will be in a terrible state when the injections are discontinued.\n\n14. Would it not be possible to supply from this Department some powerful stimulant and tonic such as Cinchona and Aromatic Spirit of Ammonia to all victims of the injection habit on application?\n\n15. These wretched creatures will not be able to satisfy the inevitable craving by a return to opium smoking, I said to the man CHU A. YEE on the 29th ultimo \"Why don't you stop it? You will die if you go on at this rate.\" He replied \"How can I? I am a poor man and can't afford to buy opium for smoking. If I smoke opium again it will cost me twice as much as it did before.\"\n\n16. Poverty on the one hand and the exorbitant charge made by the Opium Farmer for the smoking extract on the other are in my opinion the chief causes of the introduction of this practice.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nW. EDWARD CROW, Government Analyst,\n\nThe COLONIAL SURGEON,\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\n&c.",

In the present letter, only the action to be taken in the immediate future is dealt with. The laying out of the area, the style of house to be erected thereon, and the system of house drainage to be adopted being left for subsequent correspondence.\n\n3. The Housing Committee have been favoured with the advice of the Colonial Surgeon, the Principal Medical Officer, A.M.D., and Dr. HARTIGAN, who attended the meeting of the Committee by request. A copy of their evidence, as also of a letter addressed to the Chairman by Surgeon-Major JAMES, in reply to one from him, is attached. The Deputy Inspector General, who was invited to attend, was unfortunately unable to do so.\n\n4. After careful consideration of the medical evidence tendered, the Committee unanimously agreed that the proper course to be pursued with regard to the 384 houses in the walled-in portion of Tai-ping-shan is their demolition (preferably by fire), that being the only course open if the district is to be made permanently sanitary. Certain houses probably might be made fairly fit for habitation, but the faulty laying out of the ground and construction of the houses, as well as the saturation of the soil with poisonous matter, render the reconstruction of the entire quarter imperative.\n\n5. As regards the surface of the ground, the Committee advise that the soil, after the demolition of the houses by fire, and after being disinfected, be removed to a depth of at least one foot, and that the surface, when again built upon, be covered with impervious material of approved thickness, any house-drains discovered during these operations being entirely removed.\n\n6. The Committee are of opinion that the removal of the surface soil, after burning by fire and after disinfection, will not be attended with any grave danger, but they would suggest that, if His Excellency still entertains apprehensions on this point, the opinion of Monsieur YERSIN and Mr. KITASATO might be requested.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nN.

Special arrangements had been made in connection with the ceremony, the complete success of which foretells a prosperous future for this worthy Society. His Excellency and suite were escorted from Government House by four mounted troopers, and throughout the entire length of the route, large crowds of people assembled on each side of the street. Punctually at the appointed time, 2.30, His Excellency arrived at the site of the new home, and he was received by a guard of police under Chief Inspector Corcoran. A very large number of ladies and gentlemen had assembled in response to the Committee's invitation, amongst those present being His Excellency Admiral Buller and Mrs. Buller, Hon. J. H.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, the President of the Committee, who said: \"Your Excellency--On behalf of the Po Leung Kuk Society, I have the honour to request you to lay the foundation stone of the new home for women and girls, and in doing so, I desire to express on behalf of the members of the Society their high appreciation of the honour which your Excellency has done them in coming here to-day to perform this ceremony.\" (Hear, Hear.)\n\nHis EXCELLENCY: \"Mr. President of the Po Leung Kuk Society, you and your committee have asked me to lay the foundation stone of the new home for women and girls which it is proposed to erect on this site. I have the greatest pleasure in acceding to your request and am glad to have my name in any way associated with the admirable institution you represent. Before completing the ceremony, however, I should like, for the information of the spectators and of the invited guests, to make a few remarks as to the origin and past success of the Society. Some seventeen years ago, the attention of the public was called by the Chief Justice to the evil practice of kidnapping which was rampant in the Colony and of selling the kidnapped women and children as if they were mere chattels. The principal Chinese residents (all honour be to them) were so impressed with the scandalous state of affairs in this respect that they memorialized the Governor, and through him, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and they asked for permission to form an association for the purpose of suppressing this terrible crime; of protecting women and girls, and of restoring those who had been kidnapped to their friends or relations. This permission was granted, and the Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital kindly placed at the disposal of the Po Leung Kuk Society a portion of their hospital for the temporary accommodation of the destitute women and girls who had been rescued or might be rescued from the terrible fate which was intended for them. I hold in my hand a return which shows that during the four years ending in 1891, no less than 2,751 persons have been dealt with by the Society, and I have in my possession another return which shows that from 1888 to the end of 1895, the large number of 5,543 persons have been rescued by this Society, the greater number of whom have been sent to their homes or handed over to their relatives. This is, indeed, a record of good work. It is one which must recommend itself to every honest and respectable resident in the Colony. I cannot myself imagine any more useful, charitable, and Christian-like work.\n\n\"It has been well said by Adelaide Procter that 'God has glory when His children bring His poor ones joy and peace.' Well, joy and peace must have been brought to many a troubled household by the restoration of girls by this Society to their own relatives and their own homes, and who dare assert that God has not been glorified thereby? And let me say here that the rules and regulations under which the Po Leung Kuk Society have so long and so successfully worked were drawn up by our eminent Q.C., Mr. Francis, whom we are all glad to see amongst us again restored to health after his serious illness. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you can easily understand that with so much work to do, it was impossible, and it is impossible, for the Po Leung Kuk Society to do that work well and effectually in the cramped and unsuitable premises lent to them so liberally by the Tung Wa Hospital Committee. I consider that the Government and the community are much indebted to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee for the charitable assistance they have for so long given to the Po Leung Kuk, and we, the Government and the community, are still further indebted to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee for handing over to this Society, for their new building, a site which was granted to the Tung Wa Committee some years ago for charitable purposes. You will wish to know how this new home is to be paid for. I will tell you. The Chinese residents have subscribed amongst themselves the handsome sum of $30,000 towards it, and the Government, recognizing the utility and value of the Po Leung Kuk Society's efforts, has added to that amount a further sum of $20,000. With that $50,000, new and suitable buildings will be erected for the purposes of this institution on the site on which we now stand. Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to lay this stone this afternoon. You must agree with me in thinking that the past success of the Po Leung Kuk Society has been very great. It would be impossible to run such an institution on European lines or under European management. The Po Leung Kuk Society has proved itself worthy of confidence, and I ask you to concur with me in the hope I now express that its future success may be greater still, that it may be the means of minimizing, if not entirely of suppressing, this disgusting traffic, and therefore may be a permanent blessing to the present and future generations of Chinese women and girls.\"\n\nHon. Ho KAI then handed a silver trowel and a silver-mounted mallet to His Excellency, who thereupon smoothed the mortar and the stone was placed in its proper position under the supervision of Mr. Denison, the architect. After tapping the stone, His EXCELLENCY said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare this stone to be well and truly laid, and I ask you now to adjourn to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee Room.\"\n\nA photograph of the group was then taken, and Hon. Ho KAI called for three cheers for His Excellency, which were heartily given.\n\nPage 57",

        "content_text": "the only information upon which he issued the warrant was the information he obtained from Mr. Francis-\n\nMr. A. W. Brewin was here called to put in a translation of one of the books. He pointed out the entries referring to No. 12 and also an entry \"New 43, $2.\" There was also an entry \"43, $5.\"\n\nIn answer to his Lordship, Mr. Brewin said there were no dates against the items respecting the money paid to Cheng On. All the items followed in regular sequence.\n\nHon. F. H. May then went into the witness box again and his cross-examination was proceeded with.\n\nMr. Robinson-Have you spoken to Cheng On since yesterday?\n\nWitness-No.\n\nSince the sitting of the Court yesterday? Yes.\n\nWhat did you speak to him about? I asked him whether it was 1 or 3, Cheung Sha Wan Street where the gambling was carried on.\n\nYou were speaking with reference to this case? Yes.\n\nWas any other European with you at the time? Yes. Mr. Dennys.\n\nWhat is Acting Inspector Hall's number? 91.\n\nIn this document 91 is written down and opposite is the figure 11-Yes.\n\nAs regards ), he has not been suspended? No.\n\nAm I right in saying that Acting Inspector Hall has been for the last 18 months at Shaukiwan? I do not know how long he has been there. He has been there since I came back, I believe. I came back in October last year.\n\nAs a matter of fact Acting Inspector Hall has been at Sheukiwan since last October and he was there when you returned? Yes.\n\nWhat was Inspector Manu's number? 89. What is his station? Wanchai.\n\nHow long has he been there? He has been there since I came back from leave; how long before I do not know.\n\nOpposite 89 in this list is written $1.10? Yes.\n\nHe has not been suspended? No.\n\nHas either of those two men anything whatsoever to do with the gambling section No. 2, Central District? No.\n\nCan you explain how their names got into this list? Before they were transferred they were doing duty in the Central District.\n\nI will ask you to get the dates of their respective appointments to their several districts. Now with regard to Inspector Mann perhaps you will have a little more knowledge. When did Inspector Mann return from leave? I cannot answer that accurately. I was on leave myself.\n\nDo you know that he returned in June, 1890, and that he was appointed to Wanchai? I do not know what date he returned.\n\nYou know that he was on leave whilst you were on leave? Yes.\n\nYou can ascertain when he returned from leave? Yes.\n\nAnd when he returned to Wanchai? Yes. Will you read the entries against 89 and 91? #91, $11; and underneath is put \"11.\" #89, $1.10; underneath is written \"Tung.\"\n\nThere are a large number of names of Chinese detectives in that book? Yes.\n\nI think sixteen entries have been marked by somebody? Yes.\n\nWill you read out those sixteen entries? I cannot read them correctly because I cannot read grass writing very well. The first entry does not refer to a detective; $4 is against the name.\n\nThe next might be Kwan, $2.\n\nIs he a detective as far as you know? There is a man called Kwan Shing, a detective. It may refer to him.\n\nHas he been banished? Yes.\n\nNo. 3 is Tung? Yes.\n\nWhat amount? $2.\n\nNo. 4 is Chu Lun? Yes, a detective.\n\nYou think he is a detective-Chu Lun, I know, is a detective.\n\nNo. 5 is Cheng Tai, $8? Yes. He is a detective. No. 6 is Hu Hing, $8; No. 7, Tam Shing, $7; 8, Mee Chung.\n\nIs he a detective? I am not sure. He is a policeman.\n\nWhat is the number written against him? $8. What is No. 9, Leung Lai? I cannot read that; $5 is the amount.\n\nChu Tsoi is next?\n\nHis Lordship (to Mr. Robinson)-Does not all that appear in the translation you are now reading? Why do you take Mr. May through it all? What is the object?\n\nMr. Robinson-Because Mr. May has said that one end of the document consisted mainly of the names of police. Now I am pointing out that large sums were being paid to men some of whom, he tells us, are detectives.\n\nHis Lordship pointed out that when Mr. Francis, in his opening address, said that documents showed a large amount of corruption among the officers of the Police Force Mr. Robinson objected, and now Mr. Robinson was going over to same ground.\n\nMr. Robinson-I am dealing with the corruption alleged at the present moment and how it affects the Chinese Police Force.\n\nHis Lordship-I do not think you can go into the general question. I am not trying the whole Police Force here; I am trying the defendant.\n\nMr. Robinson-Here are names, some of whom the witness says are detectives, to whom large sums have been passed, and I shall found an argument on that fact.\n\nHis Lordship-You can put a definite question to Mr. May to show that this list is not correct or otherwise, but do not go through the list as it stands.\n\nMr. Robinson-I want information of identity of these people.\n\nHis Lordship-What is the good of that? Suppose you establish---\n\nMr. Robinson-I do not wish to address an argument to the Court at this stage, but I will say that it is obviously unnecessary to pay bribes to Europeans when the houses have all the natives in their pay. They do not want to travel outside that in order to secure their end.\n\nWitness-I can tell you how many Chinese police are on the list.\n\nHis Lordship (to Mr. Robinson)-I am only anxious for the case to be kept within reasonable limits.\n\nMr. Robinson (to witness)-Can you tell me how many Chinese detectives, or how many members of the Chinese force are in the book?\n\nWitness-61.\n\n61 are mentioned as being in the pay of the gambling houses? Yes.\n\nHis Lordship-61 altogether? So far as I have been able to identify.\n\n61 members of the Police Force? The Chinese Police Force.\n\nMr. Robinson-With regard to these men there are larger figures against their names than $1.10 or $1 which is put opposite No. 12? There are larger sums.\n\nIn looking through this translation I saw a Government firm or something like that mentioned. Government House.\n\nDo you know whether that refers to His Excellency's A.D.C. or to the Secretary to His Excellency, perhaps? No.\n\nYou do not know to whom it refers? \"Government House, $3.” No it is not $3.\n\n$3? Yes.\n\nDoes the name of any member of the Legislative Council appear? No.\n\nYou might (handing a document) look at that entry: Does there not appear in that translation the name of a member of the Legislative Council? It might be.\n\nMr. Robinson-\"Ho Kai, $1.50.\"\n\nHis Lordship-Suppose Ho Kai has taken $1.50?\n\nMr. Robinson-I do not suppose he has.\n\nHis Lordship-Well, suppose he has. Can we try that issue?\n\nMr. Robinson-No, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship-Well, I must ask you-\n\nMr. Robinson-I have an argument in my breast-\n\nHis Lordship-I don't care a penny whether Dr. Ho Kai took the money or not. I do not believe for a moment he did; but suppose he did.\n\nMr. Robinson-It shows that this list cannot be depended upon.\n\n470",

        "content_text": "The movement in favour of a more liberal education for our sons and daughters owes its existence to your suggestion and encouragement and to that of Lady Blake. But it is not only the inhabitants of Hongkong who have cause to remember Your Excellency's administration. The benevolent spirit that actuates it has been quickly recognised by the inhabitants of the New Territory.\n\nThe good that was so soon established and that still exists there undisturbed bears testimony to the contentment of the inhabitants and to their confidence in the justice of British rule. The interest that Your Excellency has taken in agriculture and in local industries has been highly appreciated and will bear good fruit, and we are confident that the money devoted to the opening up of communications and to developing the resources of the Territory is money well spent, and that the New Territory will soon prove a valuable acquisition to this Colony.\n\nIn conclusion, we beg to offer to Your Excellency our respectful congratulations on the present state of the Colony. On all sides is to be seen evidence of industrial and commercial growth, whilst the increase in the Colonial revenue has kept pace with commercial development. We trust Your Excellency will spend a pleasant holiday, and that on your arrival in England you will find your family in good health; and we hope that it will not be long before you return invigorated to resume the responsible duties of your high office.\n\nWe respectfully beg that Your Excellency will be kind enough to convey to Lady Blake, who we hope will accompany you on your return, our sincerest wishes for her welfare.\n\nThose who have had the privilege and honour of knowing Lady Blake will not soon forget her never-failing kindness and courtesy and her gracious interest in all relating to the social and family life of the Chinese.\n\nDated the 2nd day of January, 1902.\n\nResuming Dr Ho Kai said—Before handing to Your Excellency the address, however, I would ask your kind permission to refer to two matters. The first is that the album I am about to hand over to you, Sir, contains only a copy of the Address in English and Chinese; the address itself is being sent to Canton to be embroidered on silk. When it is finished, I shall have the honour to forward it to Your Excellency. The next, I regret to-day, the avoidable absence of my honourable colleague, Mr. Wai Yuk, whose letter to me, if Your Excellency will permit me to read it, will explain itself.\n\nMr Fung Wa Chun then read the address in Chinese.\n\nThe letter stated that he had had to go to Canton to the marriage of his nephew, and, besides this, he had been advised by his medical adviser to take a few days' rest in Canton. It was with deep regret that he was unable to be present.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor made a long speech in reply, which, owing to the fact that we publish early to-day, we are reluctantly compelled to hold over till to-morrow.\n\nDr Ho Kai having briefly translated the gist of His Excellency's reply,\n\nHis Excellency invited the entire company to partake of refreshments.\n\nBefore parting, Dr Ho Kai called for and led three ringing cheers for His Excellency, and, on the call of Mr Fung Wa Chun, a hearty tiger was given for Lady Blake.\n\nHis Excellency thanked the company and added that he would convey to Lady Blake their expression of goodwill.\n\nThe company then adjourned to another room for refreshment.\n\nThe album containing the text of the address was the work of Messrs Kelly and Walsh, and was enclosed in a beautiful cloth case, silver mounted and bearing a heavy silver shield in the centre, on which was inscribed the following—Presented to His Excellency Sir Henry A Blake, G.C.M.G., by the Chinese community of Hongkong, 22nd January, 1902'. There were over 1000 signatures attached.\n\nPage 14",

        "content_text": "# Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" dated 4th August, 1903\n\n## PREVENTION OF PLAGUE\n\n## THE EXPERIMENTAL BLOCK\n\nYesterday afternoon His Excellency the Governor Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G. formally handed back to the Sanitary Board the block of 16 tenement houses in Second and Third Streets which he had taken over with a view to the carrying out of experimental measures for the prevention of plague as well as new methods of cleansing. The block in question consisted of 253 houses, with 614 floors and a population of 7,701 people. To begin with, the south side of Second Street and the north side of Third Street, between Eastern Street and Western Street, were taken over at the end of April. The first thing set about was the erection of hot water tanks of over 300 gallons capacity each, in Wei On Lane, Tak Sing Lane, and Sheung Fung Lane. These tanks were used by the inhabitants of the district for dipping their bed-boards and such other furniture as would be likely to harbour vermin. Attached to the same furnaces which heated the tanks were bath-houses, two for men and two for women. A systematic cleansing-out of each house was then undertaken by the people themselves, under the supervision of Police Inspector J. H. Gidley. From nine to twelve floors were washed out each day. About the middle of May both sides of Second and Third Streets between Eastern and Western Streets, and all the lanes and cross-streets within that boundary, were taken in hand and treated in the same way. Latterly an empty house in the district was engaged and fitted up as a temporary hospital, and in the event of infectious disease occurring the patient was removed there and the people living in the same house, after washing it out and disinfecting their clothing, etc., were allowed to remain in it. For the purposes of carrying out the scheme, a Kaifong was elected by the community of that district, and they lent valuable assistance to the authorities in the work.\n\nThe ceremony of handing back the block to the Sanitary Board took place at noon in Second Street, at the point where it is crossed by Centre Street. H.E. the Governor was accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keswick, A.D.C.; and there were also present Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, P.C.M.O., President of the Sanitary Board; Hon. W. Chatham, D.P.W., Vice-President; Hon. F. H. May, Colonial Secretary; Mr. Fung Wa Chun, Mr. Ho Kum Tong, Inspector Gidley, and the members of the Kaifong. Before the proceedings began a photograph of the group was taken.\n\n## HIS EXCELLENCY said\n\nDr. Atkinson, Mr. Chatham, and Mr. Fung Wa Chun—I am about to hand back to you this block of buildings that over three months ago you handed to me, to see whether I could get the Chinese people to help themselves and assist in sanitary measures. When I came down here three months ago I was by no means certain that the experiment upon which I had determined to enter would be a success. I asked the people, the leading men of the two streets, to form a Kaifong, and seventeen of them came forward for that purpose. I now take this opportunity of thanking these seventeen respectable men, who have assisted me during these three months. Among these men I would especially mention the names of Chan Ki, Chak Cheung, Wong Wah, and Tiu Wi, whom I always found foremost in the good work of teaching the people how best to help themselves in fighting this terrible epidemic of plague. When I came here I promised the people that if they would clean their houses and if they would give notice of cases of disease, those who were affected by plague should be treated in their own houses, and I promised also that they should have tanks in which to dip their bed-boards and furniture, and bath-houses in which to wash themselves and enable them to keep themselves clean.\n\nBefore we could get the baths and tanks erected, I came down, and within three days I found the whole of the furniture of this street put on the street, and the people themselves had already begun to clean and wash their houses as well as they could. I have not a full account of all the people who used the baths during these three months, but 27,255 people have been noted as using these baths. The district that the Kaifong have been looking after consists of 253 houses, with 614 floors, and with a population of 7,701 people. I am told by Inspector Gidley, who deserves the thanks of the public for the way in which he has worked for the last three months, that he and the Kaifong had no difficulty in getting the people to turn out their houses, and to do whatever they were recommended by him to do in the way of disinfection and cleanliness. Mr. Fung Wa Chun my thanks are also due for the constant care that he has exercised in the supervision of the block; and to show the spirit in which this experiment was taken up by various people, I may say that within a week of taking over the block Mr. Ho Kum Tong handed to Inspector Gidley $200 to be distributed among the destitute people left by those who might be taken away by the plague. The landlords of the houses required for the baths not alone had the houses at once evacuated and handed over to me, but they one and all refused to take any rent for the houses for the two months, and two landlords, Yu Shan Tin and Wong Chun Chao, have refused to take any rent at all for their houses up to the present. No country could show a greater public spirit than this, for it must be remembered that these landlords are not rich men owning large properties, but are the landlords that live among you and own these small tenements in the district. I thank them most heartily for the public spirit which they have shown. Now, coming to the incidence of plague during the last three months, one of the principal duties...\n\nPage 353 \nREUT \nRG. 24 SEP 03! \n284",

        "content_text": "## \n\n285 \n\nof the Kaifong was to see that cases of illness were reported as soon as possible. I know that when one feels a little sick, one very often says nothing about it, and that is not confined to the Chinese people; but I have taken a note of 24 cases reported by the Kaifong, and I find that of those cases, eight were reported at once, seven were reported after two days' illness, one after three days, two after five, three after six, and one after seven. Now, in those cases where the longer time elapsed, it was found on enquiry that the person was first infected by fleas, and in many of those cases, I think that the people themselves did not know or did not realise that they were ill until the time came, but as soon as they did realise that they were ill, they reported to the Kaifong. I may say that in this district, no body was dumped during that time, with one exception—and I believe the Kaifong could tell me something about that if they liked, for it was not from this district. Now, all this shows to us that the Chinese people of Hongkong are prepared to help themselves and to help the authorities if they are called upon to do so. The Kaifong and the people of the district know with what kindness and care Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Pearse looked after those poor people who were ill, and they have learned to know and to realise that both these gentlemen, who are charged with looking after the public health of the Colony, are their friends, and their best friends. I am now handing back this district in which we have worked together for over three months, and I ask the Kaifong, who have worked so well with me, to continue to give their assistance to the officers of the Sanitary Board who will now be looking after the health of the district. \n\nNow, I will add only one or two words of advice to my friends around me. We know that when Sheung Fang Lane was empty in consequence of the number of cases of plague there, we collected a number of bugs and sent them to be examined. Eight people from that lane had died, and the question was—How did they get the plague? We found, when these bugs were examined by Dr. Hunter, that they were full of plague. When those two poor little boys died at No. 109 in this street, we found in that house some bugs, and sent them for examination, and these bugs were found to be infected with plague. Now you will understand the reason why it is necessary to keep your houses clean and to kill vermin, because the bite of these vermin may mean the death of a man; and you all know that since you began to dip your bed-boards in these tanks of boiling water, you have had a great deal more comfort than you had before. I want you to continue to keep your houses clean as they are now. The plague is over for this year, but the plague is not dead. \n\nNext February, the plague will begin again, and if the plague finds bugs and insects in the houses with plague in them, then men will die as they died before. You have got your houses clean now, because the whole of them have been thoroughly washed, and the furniture in them dipped in boiling water twice over. I will ask the President and the Vice-President of the Sanitary Board, Dr. Atkinson and Mr. Chatham, to leave those tanks, so that you will have an opportunity of keeping yourselves and your houses clean. I hope you will continue to use them and to impress upon your neighbours the necessity of cleanliness. And there are on an average 12 people living on every floor in the houses in the whole of this district, and under the new law, there is no room on each floor for more than six people. This over-crowding may not matter during the summer months, when so many sleep in the streets, but when November comes and people sleep together in the houses, then they breed bad air, and they are unhealthy, and when the plague strikes them in February or March, they have no strength to fight against it. I want you to think over my words. They are spoken for your benefit. And now, having said so, I hand back this district to the sanitary authorities, and once more I ask you who have been working so well with me to continue to give your assistance to the authorities in the future. I thank you most heartily for the loyal and splendid way in which you have worked for me, and I hope that the lesson that has been learned from the experiment in this district may prove of immense benefit to the whole colony of Hongkong in the future, because it has shown that the Chinese people are not apathetic, and that they are ready to help when it is explained to them that their help is necessary in carrying out the ordinary work of sanitation for the people. For myself, I shall always look back upon the time spent with great satisfaction, because it has brought me into contact with you working men of the Kaifong, and shown me how much good stuff there is among the Chinese population if we only look for it. To Mr. Liu Yi, I now present a letter of thanks for the good work done by the Kaifong, and I shall also present a copy, signed, to each member of the Kaifong. And now I wish you good-bye, and I most heartily wish you prosperity and safety and health in the future. (Applause.) \n\nAs His Excellency delivered his speech, it was interpreted by Mr. Fung Wa Chun for the benefit of the surrounding Chinese. \n\nMR. Ho Kai To, addressing His Excellency, thanked him for his presence there that day and for the very great interest he had always taken in the work of stamping out plague in this Colony. His Excellency had shown his sympathy with every class of the community, rich and poor alike. Another year of plague was drawing to a close, and for the present, the work in connection with the Kaifong in Second and Third Streets had terminated. The thanks of Chinese and Europeans alike should be accorded to him for the untiring energy which had marked His Excellency's term of office in Hongkong.",

        "content_text": "H.K./3724/01 Hong Kong.\n\n537\n\nnot only confirmed his promise that justice should be done, but intimated that he would not take upon himself the duty of deciding the amount of compensation without the assistance of experts and the advice of his Council.\n\n13. That the promises of the Government made through Sir William Des Vœux, and upon which we relied, as we had a right to rely, withdrawing opposition to the compensation clause in the Ordinance, should be disregarded by an Acting Governor without explanation seems to us incredible and should be inquired into by His Majesty's advisers.\n\n14. From any point of view, it will hardly be held that we ought to suffer because of our implicit reliance on the promises made by the representatives of the Crown.\n\n15. That the justice promised has not been accorded is manifest in the fact that the Government, since the Award, offered to allow us to come into the Reclamation Scheme on the terms laid down in the Reclamation Ordinance, the acceptance of which offer would have given us a sum of money far in excess of the Award of $15,000, although short of the amount found due under the methods recognized by Governor Des Vœux and the Attorney General.\n\nMr. Howard will be in London soon after you receive this letter and will call upon you to answer any questions that may be thought essential for the further information of His Majesty's advisers.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nYour most obedient servants,\n\nMatthew J.D.

Stephens and Howard, I have the honour to forward copy of a letter dated September 5th addressed by them to the Secretary of State for the Home Department.\n\n2. As you have already been informed, His Majesty was not pleased to give any directions with regard to the petition, and Messrs. Stephens and Howard were so informed.\n\n3. Mr. Howard has, however, since on two occasions, in a personal interview with the Legal Assistant Under Secretary to this Department, represented that great injustice has been done.",

He sat up in a dazed manner and when his ticket was demanded he, after some delay, tendered 50 cents and it was handed to me. I looked at the man and he appeared to me to be dazed with opium. I remarked this as I passed on. We finished collecting tickets about 25 minutes past 11 p.m. There was no disturbance or noise of any kind while I was on deck. There were 666 passengers on the lower deck. The lower deck is fairly well lit with electric light. If a passenger is asleep he is usually shaken up by his shoulders. I have never seen any member of the crew kick a passenger to wake him up. It is usually opium smokers who have to be wakened by shaking. With 600 passengers on the lower deck it would be impossible to walk across the deck without touching some of them. The accused went round with me to collect the tickets. We sometimes have to shake a man more than once.\n\nChan Kim Cho, Compradore, was called and said: I went down with the captain after some passengers had told me that a man had been kicked to death. It was about 12:30 a.m. I do not know any of the men who spoke to me on the lower deck.\n\n## THE DECISION\n\nDecember\n\nCANTON\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\nand the Japanese Doctor of the Reform Army, one English Doctor, and one Doctor of the Canton Ambulance Society. It is reported that the Chinese insist that another trial should be held, this time at the Portuguese Consular Court.\n\nNovember. A dispatch to that effect is said to have been sent by the Viceroy to the Portuguese Consul-General. A boycott of the steamer is also on the programme at the instigation of the Self-Government Association.\n\nH.E. Viceroy Chang has notified General and Military officials of all ranks in the Kwangtung Province that they must not attend strictly to their duties out of the State mourning in accordance with the law. All officials are requested to remain in their respective Bureaux and no leave of absence be granted.\n\nThe 72 Guild Tress comments on the decision of the Court as follows:\n\nIn reviewing the case in which the deceased was wounded by a kick he received near the heart from the foot of the accused, and also a blow given with the hand, both of which were causes of the man's death, it should be said that in both instances there were marks of injuries and there was the clear evidence of numerous persons proving it beyond doubt. Therefore it was impossible for the accused to be excused or held blameless. In reviewing the evidence given by the fellow passengers of the steamer, one of them not only said that the accused did not beat the man to death but that he did not beat anybody at all. The passenger died because he was ill when he went on board the steamer and he died a natural death. They actually hushed up a case of such grave importance. This can only be described as arbitrary, and treating the Chinese people with contempt. The evidence was false and trumped up and there were many contradictions.\n\nAt the conclusion of the enquiry, the British Consul-General said: The proceedings at this preliminary enquiry are not altogether regular, for two reasons: firstly, no definite charge has been framed against the watchman, Noronha, of having caused the death of this passenger. The Viceroy's letter simply states that a Chinese passenger on the Fatshan has been murdered by a foreigner; no further details are given. However, as I learnt from other sources that the watchman Noronha was accused of having done this thing, and as he voluntarily came to this Consulate-General and offered himself for investigation into the truth of the allegations against him, I decided to hold the enquiry.\n\nIn the second place, Noronha is a Portuguese subject and as such, if a serious charge of this nature is preferred against him, he should be tried by his own Consul. But I decided, in consultation with my Portuguese colleague, M. de Moraes, that, in view of the fact that the alleged criminal offence had been committed on board a British steamer by a person on that steamer's articles, and in view of the popular excitement prevailing in regard to this case, it would be expedient that I should first hold a preliminary inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of this passenger on the Fatshan. This I have done in as public and thorough a manner as possible. A deputy from the Viceroy has been present at the hearing, taking notes and cross-examining the witnesses. The public, including members of the Chinese press, have been allowed to be present and the Portuguese Consul-General has occupied a seat in Court.\n\nI have come to the conclusion, after carefully considering all the evidence that has been brought forward yesterday and to-day, that there is not sufficient evidence to justify me in handing over the accused to his Consul on a charge of having caused the death of this passenger. Of the 600 odd passengers on the Fatshan that night, only two came forward to testify that they had seen the accused assault the deceased, and their evidence, for reasons which I have mentioned before, I am bound to regard with grave suspicion. On the other hand, Dr. Davenport's evidence, given in the clearest and most explicit manner, goes to show that the deceased died a natural death. Under these circumstances, the accused, as far as the Court is concerned, is discharged. It is open to the Chinese Authorities, should they consider the result of this enquiry unsatisfactory, to charge the accused in the Portuguese Consular Court, where, I am sure, all charges made against him will receive an impartial and fair hearing. I will ask Mr. Greaves, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's Agent, to hold himself responsible for Noronha's appearance when called upon.\n\nMr. Greaves gave the necessary assurance.\n\n## CHINESE COMMENTS ON THE CASE\n\nThe local Press is still publishing hostile articles concerning the matter, and a petition has been sent to the Viceroy praying that the body of the deceased may be exhumed and a fresh post-mortem examination held by three doctors, viz.\n\n## EXCITEMENT AT CANTON\n\nThere is great excitement in the City (writes our Canton correspondent) over the decision re the s.s. Fatshan incident. A boycott of the Sternhaut Company's entire fleet appears to be threatening.\n\nI have no doubt the excitement would soon fizzle out if the local authorities were to issue a proclamation explaining clearly to the public the facts of the inquiry or if the proceedings at the inquiry and the evidence of both foreign and Chinese witnesses were translated and published in the leading local papers.\n\nBelow is a translation of a circular issued by the Self-Government Association, which I give is apparently the first step towards a boycott movement:\n\nWe beg respectfully to inform the public that on the night of the 6th day of this moon (29th Nov.), a Chinaman was kicked to death by a foreigner on board the s.s. Fatshan. The following patriotic and eminent persons, viz., Yeong Wo Kai, Cheong Lau Ki, Tung Chun Kwan, and Tam Show Po, were strangers to the deceased, yet they possessed such patriotic and honourable feelings as to come forward as witnesses to give evidence in the case and petitioned the Authorities to obtain redress on behalf of the deceased. This really shows the sincerity of their feelings and ardent love of their country and their brethren.\n\nFrom inquiries made, we learn that all these patriots are business men. For several days they have wasted their precious time and toilsome labour. Those who are regarded as our brothers must really respect them. We have decided to invite these patriots to come to the Association on the 10th day of this moon (3rd instant) for the purpose of taking their photographs, which we will carefully preserve as a remembrance. We therefore invite all our brothers to attend at the Association on that day to pay their respects to them.\n\n## ENCOURAGING NATIVE INDUSTRY\n\nIn a dispatch sent to the Viceroy, the Board of Agriculture, Labour, and Commerce in the Kiang-su Province has stated that the cotton cloth manufactured in the above province is strong, fine, white, and its quality is far superior to that manufactured in Bombay. Hitherto, its consumption has been confined to several southern and eastern provinces, but of late years, this cloth has found its way into those provinces and has been ousting the native cloth. Recently, the Board has received several Imperial Edicts commanding them to encourage native manufactures.\n\nThe Board requests the Viceroy to give instructions to all Military and Police Departments and the Directors of Schools and Colleges in the Province of Kwangtung to purchase the native cloth manufactured in Kiang-su for the use of the military, police, and students. The Viceroy has issued an order to that effect.\n\n## BLACKMAIL\n\nThe International Banking Corporation has again received a letter demanding $100,000 blackmail to be paid within five days on account of a certain Shek Loong junk.\n\n## CANTON-HANKOW RAILWAY\n\nThe total sum of money due on the instalment of the shares of the Canton-Hankow Railway Company amounts to over $1,600,000, out of which about $1,300,000 has been collected by the Company up to the 30th day of the 10th moon (23rd instant). From this amount, the sum of $200,000 has been paid into the Company in drafts or promissory notes to be collected on the date.\n\n## THE FATSHAN LINE\n\nIt is reported that recently complaints have been made by many passengers of the Fatshan Railway of articles missing from the luggage cars.\n\nOwing to the recent increase of railway traffic, many steam launches have been placed on the Canton-Fatshan run, and, if stern measures are not taken to put a check to the pilfering, it is causing great annoyance to travellers, and the bulk of the passenger trade will fall into the hands of the steam launch owners.\n\n## OBJECTION TO A KEROSINE DEPOT\n\nA British firm purchased a piece of land at Samshui for the purpose of building a kerosine depot. The gentry there objected to a kerosine depot and applied to the Sam-shui Magistrate to issue an injunction restraining the firm from erecting the depot on the ground that \"kerosine is dangerous goods.\" The Magistrate reported the matter to the Viceroy, who directed the Provincial Treasurer to investigate and settle the question.\n\n## THE ENTHRONEMENT OF THE NEW EMPEROR\n\nThe Viceroy has received cables from Peking to notify the officials and people of the Kwangtung Province of the enthronement of the young Emperor, which will take place on the 1st day of the 1st moon, and that the Grand Council has decided that the two characters \"Shuen Tung\" shall be the title of the reign of the new Emperor. As it is customary in many lines of trade to use the title of the reigning Emperor on the goods manufactured, the cablegram expressly instructs His Excellency to issue proclamations to the public that all articles and goods now being manufactured for the forthcoming year must bear the title of the new Emperor.\n\n## NEW COINS\n\nThe Viceroy is also in receipt of instructions from the Board of Revenue...\n\n`Mr. Fox's dispatch No. 71 of December 9th, 1909`\n\n343\n\n`Mr. Fox to Viceroy Chang. (JAP 20 1909)`\n\nCanton, December 16th, 1909\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Y.E.'s dispatch dated the 10th instant, in which you informed me that a Chinese passenger on the British steamer \"Fatshan\" had been kicked to death by a foreigner.\n\nOn receipt of this dispatch, I at once deputed Vice-Consul Porter to proceed to the Wharf, and in company with Deputy Haish and the Samshui Magistrate, hold an inquest on the body. Dr. Davenport, who had already made an examination that morning, went again to the \"Fatshan\" at the request of the Chinese Authorities and made a second examination in the presence of the officials...\n\nIn the meantime, I had summoned the Portuguese watchman Noronha, who was accused of having caused this passenger's death, and I fixed the following day at 10...",

Mr. Fox reports that there are rumours of an attack upon the Concession, and that he will call upon the Viceroy to take strong measures against the leaders of the agitation. I have also impressed the gravity of the new situation upon the Wai-wu Pu, who have promised to telegraph at once to the Viceroy. The Commodore at Hong Kong is at present at Canton in the \"Alacrity,\" and has ample force to deal with any emergency.\n\nIt may well seem strange that such a slight incident as the death of a Chinese passenger on a British steamer should provoke such a formidable demonstration of ill-feeling. The Government of Hong Kong have, however, recently issued orders of banishment against four leading members of the Self-government Society residing at Canton, owing to the part played by the Society in the boycott of Japanese goods and the anti-Japanese riot in the colony, and the attitude of the Society in the present instance may in some measure be attributed to a desire to revenge itself for this action. In this connection I would call your attention to Mr. Fox's despatch No. 69 of the 8th ultimo, inclosed in this despatch. Copies of Mr. Fox's despatches reporting upon the \"Fatshan\" case are also inclosed for your information.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**J. N. JORDAN**\n\nP.S. As I write, I have just received a telegram from Mr. Fox stating that the Self-government Society and the Viceroy have publicly deprecated a boycott of the \"Fatshan,\" and that the steamer has left for Hong Kong with a full complement of passengers. My telegram No. 8 of to-day will already have conveyed this information to you.  \n**J. N. J.**\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n#### Acting Consul-General Fox to Sir J. Jordan\n**(No. 69. Confidential.)**  \nCanton, December 8, 1908\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 62 of the 14th ultimo on the subject of the boycott of Japanese goods in Hong Kong and Canton, and the part played in the agitation by the Self-government Society of Canton, I have the honour to report that the Hong Kong Government have issued orders of banishment against four leading Members of the Society who reside in Canton, namely, Messrs. Lai Kai Li, To Kuan She, Lau Tze Kai, and Tse Yam Luk.\n\nThe two first named have undoubtedly taken an active share in the revival of the boycott movement which culminated in the recent disturbances in Hong Kong. The evidence against the last two is, as far as I can gather, entirely circumstantial, and, as a matter of fact, both gentlemen deny having had any connection with the boycott movement either here or in Hong Kong.\n\nMr. Lau Tze Kai, who was educated in America and wears foreign clothes, is a dentist in Canton with a considerable foreign practice. Mr. Tse Yam Luk is the pastor in charge of the native church affiliated to the London Mission in Canton.\n\nI have unofficially brought the cases of Messrs. Lau and Tse to the notice of the Governor of Hong Kong, and his Excellency informs me that if they will publish in the Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong a notice stating that they have no connection or sympathy with the boycott of Japanese goods, he will reconsider their orders of banishment.\n\nIn the case of Mr. Tsang Yau Po, one of the principal Tien-tsin shippers in Hong Kong, against whom an order of banishment has also been issued, two representatives of the largest native piece-good hongs in Canton waited upon me a few days ago and asked for my good offices in obtaining the withdrawal of the banishment order against Mr. Tsang Yau Po. They offered to hold themselves responsible for his future good behaviour, and explained that his banishment from the colony would be a serious blow to the business, not only of himself and friends, but also of the British Shipping Companies engaged in the Shanghae and Tien-tsin trade.\n\nI have since communicated to these gentlemen the Governor's suggestion above referred to.\n\nThe unexpected issue of these orders of banishment against well-known Chinese, both in Canton and Hong Kong, has caused considerable excitement in Canton, and I have reason to believe that the hostile attitude of the Self-government Society towards the British authorities in connection with the \"Fatshan\" case is in great measure due to resentment at the action of the Hong Kong Government in banishing leading members of the Society from the colony.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**HARRY H. FOX**\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n#### Acting Consul-General Fox to Sir J. Jordan\n**(No. 71.)**  \nCanton, December 9, 1908\n\nIN my telegram No. 24 of yesterday's date I had the honour to report that the death of a Chinese passenger on Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's river steamer \"Fatshan\" when on a voyage between Hong Kong and Canton on the night of the 29th November, alleged to have been caused by a Portuguese watchman, had given rise to a serious anti-foreign agitation, directed and encouraged by the Self-government Society and the Chinese newspapers of Canton.\n\nThe following documents, which I have the honour to submit for your consideration, will, I venture to think, serve to bring before you the circumstances of this case and the action I have taken with regard to it in a brief and concise manner.\n\nI inclose, firstly, Mr. Vice-Consul Porter's Report of the proceedings on board the \"Fatshan\" on the morning of the 30th November. Dr. Davenport's Report of his examination of the body of the deceased passenger.\n\nI next inclose a fairly accurate Report of the inquiry held by me at this Consulate-General on Tuesday and Thursday, the 1st and 3rd December, taken from the \"Hong Kong Daily Press,\" at which I came to the conclusion that the evidence against the accused watchman was not sufficient to justify me in handing him over to his Consul on a charge of manslaughter, and further that deceased's death was due to natural causes.\n\nOn the 4th December I forwarded copy of the depositions taken at the inquiry, together with my finding, to the Viceroy, and in a covering despatch, which forms Inclosure 6, I asked his Excellency, if satisfied with the decision I had come to, to issue a Proclamation which would have the effect of allaying the popular excitement aroused by the exaggerated reports of the case which had appeared in the Canton newspapers.\n\nAs the Chinese newspapers which appeared on the following day, the 5th December, contained most inaccurate and one-sided reports of the proceedings, I wrote to the Viceroy (Inclosure 7), requesting him, in accordance with the new press laws, to prevent the newspapers from publishing matter calculated to impair the friendly relations existing between Chinese and British in Canton.\n\nOn the 7th December I again wrote to the Viceroy (Inclosure 8), drawing his attention to the proceedings of the Self-government Society, who had called a public meeting for that morning to discuss \"kicking to death of a Chinese passenger by a foreigner on the steamer 'Fatshan,'\" and pointing out the serious consequences that would probably ensue if the Society were allowed to continue to excite the popular mind in this manner.\n\nOn the 8th December I was obliged to write again to the Viceroy (Inclosure 9), complaining of his apparent neglect of my representations, and stating my intention of calling upon him the following morning.\n\nThe Viceroy, in a note just received, has asked me to defer my visit until Thursday, the 10th instant.\n\nIn a despatch, which only reached me last night, the Viceroy gives an evasive reply (Inclosure 10) to my complaints of newspaper misrepresentations. This is the only official communication I have received from his Excellency since the day the \"Fatshan\" arrived; he has issued no Proclamation, nor has he expressed, either to me or to the Portuguese Consul, any opinion on the result of the inquiry.\n\nIn Inclosure 11 I forward copies and translations of typical extracts from articles in the vernacular press dealing with the \"Fatshan\" affair.\n\nPage 466",

Mr. Fox reports that there are rumours of an attack upon the Concession, and that he will call upon the Viceroy to take strong measures against the leaders of the agitation. I have also impressed the gravity of the new situation upon the Wai-wu Pu, who have promised to telegraph at once to the Viceroy. The Commodore at Hong Kong is at present at Canton in the \"Alacrity,\" and has ample force to deal with any emergency.\n\nIt may well seem strange that such a slight incident as the death of a Chinese passenger on a British steamer should provoke such a formidable demonstration of ill-feeling. The Government of Hong Kong have, however, recently issued orders of banishment against four leading members of the Self-government Society residing at Canton, owing to the part played by the Society in the boycott of Japanese goods and the anti-Japanese riot in the colony, and the attitude of the Society in the present instance may in some measure be attributed to a desire to revenge itself for this action. In this connection I would call your attention to Mr. Fox's despatch No. 69 of the 8th ultimo, inclosed in this despatch. Copies of Mr. Fox's despatches reporting upon the Fatshan case are also inclosed for your information.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN\n\nP.S. - As I write, I have just received a telegram from Mr. Fox stating that the Self-government Society and the Viceroy have publicly deprecated a boycott of the \"Fatshan,\" and that the steamer has left for Hong Kong with a full complement of passengers. My telegram No. 8 of to-day will already have conveyed this information to you.\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n### Acting Consul-General Fox to Sir J. Jordan\n\n(No. 69. **Confidential**)\n\nCanton, December 8, 1908.\n\nSir,\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 62 of the 14th ultimo on the subject of the boycott of Japanese goods in Hong Kong and Canton, and the part played in the agitation by the Self-government Society of Canton, I have the honour to report that the Hong Kong Government have issued orders of banishment against four leading Members of the Society who reside in Canton, namely, Messrs. Lai Kai Li, Lo Kuan She, Lau Tze Kai, and Tse Yam Luk.\n\nThe two first named have undoubtedly taken an active share in the revival of the boycott movement which culminated in the recent disturbances in Hong Kong. The evidence against the last two is, as far as I can gather, entirely circumstantial, and, as a matter of fact, both gentlemen deny having had any connection with the boycott movement either here or in Hong Kong.\n\nMr. Lau Tze Kai, who was educated in America and wears foreign clothes, is a dentist in Canton with a considerable foreign practice. Mr. Tse Yam Luk is the pastor in charge of the native church affiliated to the London Mission in Canton.\n\nI have unofficially brought the cases of Messrs. Lau and Tse to the notice of the Governor of Hong Kong, and his Excellency informs me that if they will publish in the Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong a notice stating that they have no connection or sympathy with the boycott of Japanese goods, he will reconsider their orders of banishment.\n\nIn the case of Mr. Tsang Yau Po, one of the principal Tien-tsin shippers in Hong Kong, against whom an order of banishment has also been issued, two representatives of the largest native piece-good hongs in Canton waited upon me a few days ago and asked for my good offices in obtaining the withdrawal of the banishment order against Mr. Tsang Yau Po. They offered to hold themselves responsible for his future good behaviour, and explained that his banishment from the colony would be a serious blow to the business, not only of himself and friends, but also of the British Shipping Companies engaged in the Shanghai and Tien-tsin trade.\n\nI have since communicated to these gentlemen the Governor's suggestion above referred to.\n\nThe unexpected issue of these orders of banishment against well-known Chinese, both in Canton and Hong Kong, has caused considerable excitement in Canton, and I have reason to believe that the hostile attitude of the Self-government Society towards the British authorities in connection with the \"Fatshan\" case is in great measure due to resentment at the action of the Hong Kong Government in banishing leading members of the Society from the colony.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed) HARRY H. FOX\n\n## Page 3\n\n### (No. 71.) Sir,\n\n#### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n#### Acting Consul-General Fox to Sir J.

        "content_text": "## No. 1 \n\n2 \n\nof the Chinese Government to continue their programme of reform. The Prince Regent thoroughly understood that a continuity of policy was indispensable, and would not be so foolish as to encourage any reaction.\n\nAssociating myself with what my American colleague had said, I then conveyed to the Prince the substance of my statement, laying special stress upon the magnitude of our commercial interests and the large part we had recently taken in the material development of the country, all of which made any violent change a matter of deep concern to us.\n\nHis Excellency replied in much the same strain as he had done to Mr. Rockhill. He said that he recognized that what we had said represented the advice of two Powers with whom China had long been on peculiarly friendly terms, and that the claims of friendship imposed upon the Chinese Government the duty of seeing that the advice was accepted and carried out in the spirit in which it had been given. Yuan Shih-k'ai had been his most valued associate for years, and no one recognized more fully his great merits or more sincerely regretted his loss than he did. The circumstances were such that he could not very well state the reason of what had happened, but he still hoped that Yuan's services would be utilized for the benefit of his country in the not very distant future. Fortunately, he was still in the prime of life, and his enforced retirement would, he hoped, only be temporary.\n\nMr. Rockhill and I, in handing our written statements to the Prince, both expressed our appreciation of his Highness' assurances, and said we felt certain they would be warmly welcomed by our Governments, to whom the recent turn of events had caused considerable apprehension.\n\nLiang Tun-yen, whom I saw later in the day, told me that the Prince had intimated to him his intention of submitting our statements to the Regent at audience on the following morning, and had expressed his belief that they would exercise a salutary effect.\n\nThe Canadian missionaries in Honan, who, in common with many other British subjects, owed their lives to Yuan Shih-k'ai during the troubles of 1900, paid their respects to the fallen statesman on his return to his native place. I enclose a letter which I received from Dr. McClure on the subject, together with a copy of my reply thereto.\n\nYuan's disappearance from public life has caused considerable anxiety at Tien-tsin and in Manchuria, where many of his associates hold high office. Writing from Mukden yesterday, Mr. Willis states:--\n\n\"I had an interview with Mr. M. T. Liang a day or two ago. The dismissal of Yuan Shih-k'ai is undoubtedly a severe blow to the high provincial authorities here; most of them are either his protégés or in great sympathy with him. Liang's opinion seemed to be that there was no immediate idea of making changes here, but it is evident that they feel anything but comfortable.\"\n\nTo us the change means, amongst other things, the revival of all the difficulties connected with the Customs succession, the abandonment of the naval scheme which was the chief object of Tong's mission to England, the indefinite delay of currency and other reforms, and, above all, the removal of the really one strong man in the Central Government whose orders commanded respect in the provinces.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) **J. N. JORDAN**\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n**Memorandum by Mr. Rockhill**\n\nThe Government of the United States has always been animated by the friendliest feeling for China, and has ever been concerned in its welfare. It has on numerous occasions been able to demonstrate the sincerity of these feelings.\n\nDuring the last few years it has watched with sympathy and deep interest the initiation and gradual development of a policy which should have the most far-reaching and happy results for the Empire, and which should insure its political and economic development and strengthen its ties of friendship with all the nations of the world; it has come to look upon the continuation of this policy as a sure guarantee of peace, stability, and progress.\n\nThe sudden removal from political life at the beginning of the new reign of a statesman intimately associated with the great reforms of recent years has been learnt of by the Government of the United States with serious concern; its confidence has been shaken in the intentions of the new Government, and apprehension felt lest it should not pursue the policy so happily initiated in the preceding reign, and in which the United States see such vast benefit for China.\n\nThe Government of the United States would be much gratified to learn that its apprehension is ill-founded, and that it is the intention of the Government of the Regency to continue the policy which has heretofore elicited its friendly support and hearty praise.\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Memorandum by Sir J. Jordan**\n\nHis Majesty's Government have always been animated with feelings of sincere friendship for China, and at no time in the history of their relations have those feelings been more clearly demonstrated than during the past few years.\n\nChina had entered upon a course of reform which had commanded the respect and admiration of the whole civilized world. Great Britain, as a nation which has vast commercial relations with China, watched this movement with the liveliest sympathy and interest, and while co-operating cordially in measures of moral improvement, lent her financial assistance in the material development of the country. She had looked forward with confidence to the uninterrupted political and economic development of the Empire under the present enlightened régime.\n\nHis Majesty's Government have therefore learnt with grave apprehension of the removal from office of his Excellency Yuan Shih-k'ai, the statesman whose name has been most closely associated with the cause of progress in recent years. They are deeply concerned at the recent turn of events, and would be relieved to learn that the change which has taken place does not imply any reversal of policy, and that it is still the intention of the Imperial Government to carry to completion the beneficent measures which were so happily inaugurated during the last few years of the previous reign.\n\nPeking, January 15, 1909.\n\n### Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n**Dr. McClure to Sir J. Jordan**\n\nThe Canadian Presbyterian Mission, Weihuifu, Honan, January 11, 1909.\n\nYou may already know that his Excellency Yuan Shih-kai arrived in Weihui-fu last Wednesday, and is at present residing in a house belonging to himself here.\n\nNeedless to say, we were much pained to hear of his enforced retirement from his State duties, and tried to show our sympathy with him by sending our cards to his Excellency. Next day his Excellency sent his return cards, and a little later in the day his physician, Dr. Wang, called to express his Excellency's appreciation of our sending cards to him.\n\nDr. Wang, as you may know, is a graduate of the Pei Yang Medical School, Tien-tsin, and speaks English quite fluently.\n\nYesterday Dr. Wang came to our mission compound again, and in a private interview asked me to write to you and express to you his Excellency's heartfelt appreciation of your sympathy with him in his present trying circumstances, and to thank you for all your kindness to him. I gladly promised to do this, and hence this letter. The Doctor explained that in the circumstances it was not admissible for his Excellency to write to you himself.\n\nI also offered to do anything in my power to make his stay in Weihui-fu more tolerable. My family and myself owe to him the preservation of our lives in 1900; we escaped without the least mishap through his province in that trying time.\n\nThe Doctor says his Excellency is in good health, but remains in his room nearly all the time. I advised that he should try to persuade him to take some exercise in the open air.\n\nPage 629",

As far as I can say, I was directed in the afternoon of the 24th October last, not to sign bills after the shroff had absconded; and Harbour Master's order (memo. No. 434) was only issued on the 31st last month.\n\nAs to G.S.O. Circular No. 37 of 14th December, 1909, the absconded shroff, as was well known to every one in the office, only called at the office for a few minutes in the forenoon and in the afternoon, except days when pay-ment was made into Bank, and during his absence I only received covers sent by firms and containing bills, compradore's order &c., and I handed the same to the shroff immediately on his arrival at the office. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the same Circular do not concern me.\n\nAs to Treasury Circular of the 18th December, 1909, I received no instruction to discontinue signing bills for Light Dues before handing same to the shroff. It had been the practice for many years to sign bills before handing same to shroff for collection. Had I received instructions to the contrary, I would certainly have complied immediately.\n\nI have &c., (Sd.) Fan Tsung Hing.\n\nThe Honourable\n\nSir F. H. May, K.C.M.G.,\n\nColonial Secretary.",

In other words, the prisoner's case is to be decided without the prisoner being entitled to defend himself, & there is no guarantee that his case can be presented or put forward at all.\n\n## (3) \n\nThe contention that the case of a prisoner in transit through Hong Kong is something like the case which occurred at a time a few months ago when a prisoner being conveyed from England to India escaped at Marseilles was handed over to the British authorities. If I remember it seems to have been admitted that the action of the French authority in handing over the prisoner without a formal extradition process was a small irregularity & there was agitation in the French press.\n\n### Telegraph Gov Hong unfrequent 8th September No 321 \n\nI consider referral necessary & also re-enactment reviving provisions [I think this addition with views quite clear].\n\nYour despatch provisions make our Kong law quite... \n\nSent 4:30 pm 6th. 60011 Rtw 2/10 DR.\n\nThe extradition laws of Hong Kong are contained in the Extradition Acts of 1870, 1873, and 1875, and the Order of 20 March 1877. The Foreign Offenders Detention Act 1872 is ancillary to Extradition in that it provides for the arrest and custody in Hong Kong of foreign offenders extradited from South China & Japan to their own country.\n\nSEC 15 of the Extradition Act 1870 makes this part of the Act applicable to Hong Kong. It is for the Chief Justice to decide that the order has relation to extradition. As soon as the foreign offender reaches Hong Kong, the foreign warrant ceases to run, and, but for the 1872 Act, he could set the ordinary extradition laws of Hong Kong in motion thereby have the question of his extraditability from Hong Kong settled.\n\nFor this the 1872 Act provides some what simpler & speedier substitute. It is, in effect, an extradition order and the safeguards provided by sections 5(4) & 6 are to be preserved.\n\nThe repeal of the Hong Kong Ordinance, Chapter 23 of 1911, is in session worth? proposed by the Tudor, since the mere repeal of section 2(2) 8/d/ of Order 23 of 1911 will not revive the repealed provisions thereby repealed.\n\n### $44 1872 Ordinance and an Express revival is \n\nSee Inchirp. ad 1897, sscq).

As the sentence of the Court was to be carried out by the 18th of June, it was necessary for me to present the Petition of appeal at once, and we had no opportunity of ascertaining from the agent in Hongkong whether any funds were available for prosecuting the Appeal.\n\nThe Appeal was one of considerable importance, as settling the question of the jurisdiction of the Hongkong Court to try persons other than British subjects for offences committed in China, and the preparation of the case and its presentation to the Court involved a very large amount of work, for which neither ourselves nor our principal in Hongkong have received any payment whatever, the Appellant being entirely without means.\n\n`GR 2072/44`  \n21/3/14\n\nRe-f  \n18 MAR 14  \n24.\n\nDR.

        "content_text": "# THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS\n## 15th September, 1916.\n### THE HELENA MAY INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN.\n#### OPENED BY LADY MAY.\n##### SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR.\n\nThe Helena May Institute for Women was opened by Lady May last evening with a golden key, in the presence of a large and representative gathering. Those present included: H.E. Governor and Lady May; Miss May; the Bishop of Victoria (Dr. Lander); Sir William and Lady Rees Davies; the Colonial Secretary (Hon. Mr. Claud Severn); the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp (Attorney-General) and Mrs. Kemp; the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., and Mrs. Pollock; Mrs. Edkins; Sir Robert and Lady Ho Tung; the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak, Mr. E. Relphs, etc., along with the two generous donors, Mr. Ellis Kadoorie and Mr. Ho Kom Tong.\n\nSpeaking from the steps of the building, Mr. Ho Kom Tong said:—\"Your Excellency, Lady May, ladies and gentlemen, It is a pleasure as well as an honour to me to be the spokesman on this occasion on behalf of Mr. Kadoorie and the others of us who have made ourselves responsible for the purchase of this site and the erection, furnishing and part endowment of this building. It is only fair to say at once that the brunt of the burden has been shouldered by Mr. Kadoorie, who has, from the beginning, devoted himself heart and soul to the completion of the project, and he therefore deserves the lion's share of the credit.\" (Applause.)\n\nNow let me explain what the project is, and how it originated. Early in 1914 the gracious lady whose name this Institute is to bear, Lady May, interested herself in the movement for the foundation of a hostel for women, the need for which had long been felt, and Mr. Kadoorie, on his own initiative, made his first generous offer which brought the scheme at once within the range of practical politics, stipulating only that if the funds required were secured and a building were erected it should be called after Lady May.\" (Applause.) He felt, as we all feel, that in asking her to allow her name to be associated with the Institute the honour was hers not to receive but to bestow. (Applause.) In fact, we are all glad that an opportunity has been brought into existence some tangible and permanent manifestation of the high esteem and affectionate regard in which her Ladyship is held in this Colony (applause) and I venture to think that this handsome building upon the portal of which her name is to remain in perpetuity, bids fair to be emblematic of her all-embracing sympathy and kindly concern for the welfare of every one with whom she is brought in contact. (Applause.)\n\nIn its inception, no doubt the paramount idea was to provide headquarters for working women either resident in or passing through the Colony, on the lines of similar places to be found in Colombo, Singapore and elsewhere in the East. But as the scheme took shape, and this site was found, it became clear that something rather more ambitious, and, at the same time, more comprehensive in its scope might with advantage be undertaken—an Institute that would offer to all alike opportunities of social intercourse, mutual helpfulness, improvement and recreation.\n\nI believe all formalities in connection with the legal transfer of the site and building to the \"Helena May Institute for Women\", with Lady May as the first President, have already been completed. The furnishing and equipment of the building have been considerably delayed by the difficulties of obtaining various articles from England under present conditions of shipping, but to all intents and purposes the Institute is now complete and ready for the purpose for which it is intended. It is a great pleasure to all of us who have been associated in its promotion to see the result of our efforts so satisfactorily attained, a result for which we owe a special debt of gratitude to our architect, Mr. Ram, and I now leave it to Mr. Kadoorie, to whom this special privilege undoubtedly belongs, to make the formal presentation of the key of the building to His Excellency Sir Henry May, whom it is our delight to honour. (Applause.)\n\nMr. Ellis Kadoorie, in handing the key to the Governor, said: \"Your Excellency, I am proud to have the privilege of handing you this key, with which I ask your Excellency to be graciously pleased to open this Institute, which I ...",

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

Experiments by dentists all over the country have proved beyond a doubt that the clean tooth stands a poor chance of decaying.\n\nA tooth brush too large for the mouth is a problem. The adult size of 90 per cent of the tooth brushes on the market is too big. \nThe fact that a person should have his teeth cleaned from four to six months by a dentist has been impressed upon the minds of the public.\n\nThe laity also know that the teeth should be brushed at least twice daily and many use a brush systematically yet even then accomplish very little towards keeping their teeth clean.\n\nThe remedy? Use of a smaller brush! \nWhen a patient inquires as to the best tooth paste to use, I never recommend any one in particular but I always advise him as to the size of the brush to use because proper manipulation means more than the toothpaste.\n\nCONTINUED.\n\n### Dr. Wm W.

        "content_text": "To this recommendation the delegates add the proviso that, if and when conditions in China so far improve as to justify investment in, or expenditure on, one or some of the projects named, the Board may consider itself at liberty to take the appropriate action. One wonders where to look for an impartial railway expert who, in the conditions now obtaining in China, would care to make a pronouncement that the Hankow-Canton Railway, if and when completed, would be able to earn such returns as to justify its being regarded as a safe investment for Trust funds. But at this point I venture to repeat the recommendation, which I placed before you in my secret despatch of the 20th May, that, as regards the projected completion of the Canton-Hankow Railway, an essential preliminary step is the construction of a junction line at Canton to connect the southern section of that railway with the Kowloon-Canton Railway. The construction of this loop-line, at most only 4 miles long, would at once connect 112 miles of railway from Kowloon to Canton with 140 miles of railway from Canton to Shiu-kwan. \"It would be an immediate benefit both to this Colony and to the British and Chinese Corporation; and it would make further construction of the Canton-Hankow Railway from Shiu-kwan northwards more economical. This loop-line is of vital importance to the future of Hong Kong, and I earnestly recommend that the small sum necessary for its construction should now be set aside from Boxer Indemnity funds, in order that, so soon as political conditions at Canton permit, the work may be taken in hand, and that instant advantage may be taken of any favourable opportunity which may present itself.\n\n8. Turning once more to the Report, I find that, apart from its one constructive suggestion, namely, that the Indemnity Fund should be handed over to a Board of Trustees which His Majesty will not appoint and over which His Majesty's Government will have no control whatsoever, the rest of the Report, except in so far as it is an account of the Deputation's journeyings in China, merely offers advice which may or may not be accepted. In view of the present condition of China, it was impossible that such recommendations as the Deputation decided to put forward should take any other form. Were the Deputation in the Yangtze Valley at the present moment, its members would find great changes in the political situation since they visited it in April last. But I submit, nevertheless, that the general condition of China is essentially the same now as it was then, and that a more determined endeavour on the part of the British members of the Deputation to get a grasp of the Chinese situation might have enabled that body to make suggestions of more practical utility. As it is, if the proposed Board of Trustees should be accepted by His Majesty's Government, the Advisory Committee will have either to offer no advice whatsoever (to say, in effect, to the Board: \"Here are 114 millions sterling, do what you like with them\") or to endorse the Deputation's advice which, by the time the pronouncement is made, may be, and indeed probably will be, even more remote from the reality of circumstances in China than it is at present. But it appears from the authorised statement by the Statutory Committee and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as quoted by the Deputation from the Peking and Tientsin \"Times\" of the 26th May last, that His Majesty's Government has already agreed to confer on the proposed Board complete power to apply the Indemnity Fund and make investments in accordance with the general scheme and principles to be laid down by the Advisory Committee.\n\n9. There is, as I have previously stated, no central Government of China. On the 6th October, 1926, the North China Daily News published a leading article entitled \"The Vacuum in Peking,\" from which I quote the following:—\n\nPage 24\n\nEvery Chinese, great and small, knows that there is no Government in Peking, therefore that there is no cabinet. The Minister of Finance controls no finances except the revenue which is collected under the supervision of foreigners.\n\nThe Minister of Communications controls no railways, the militarists having helped themselves to rolling-stocks, roadbeds and ticket offices. The Minister of the Interior cannot appoint a single civilian official without first obtaining the consent of some militarist. The Minister of Foreign Affairs now finds all his real functions performed by local commissioners of Foreign Affairs, while he is a sort of radio-broadcaster to tell the world that things are not what they seem and are untrue, anyhow, no matter what one may say on the subject. The Premier has no authority at all, while there is no President. Parliament or Constitution.\"\n\nThese statements cannot be controverted, and there is not the slightest sign that this state of affairs is merely transitory. On the contrary, everything at the moment seems to point to greater provincial and local independence. Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang's representatives, Dr. V. K. Ting (a member of the Indemnity Deputation) and Dr. Hsü Yuan, recently negotiated the Mixed Court settlement in Shanghai with a committee of local Consuls and without the assistance of Peking. The British Consuls at Chungking and Ichang and the Commissioners of Foreign Affairs at these places seem to be settling the Wan-hsien incident without any interference from Peking. Mr. Eugene Ch'en has called off the Canton boycott without advice or assistance from the acting Premier; and the Canton Government is now asserting its right to levy both \"consumption\" and \"production taxes\" defying at the same time foreign nations on its own citizens, integrity of the sacrosanct Maritime Customs.\" The Canton Government is asking to raise the bugbear of infringing the the Chinese Customs service to co-operate in collecting the proposed taxes, in order to avoid confusion and consequent annoyance to trade; but it adds that it can, of course, create its own entirely independent organ of collection if necessary.\n\n10. Apart from the consideration that, the Canton scheme succeeds, local tariff autonomy will probably follow in every port of China, which might mean, incidentally, that no more Indemnity contributions would be paid, surely facts of this kind make it doubtful whether the Government of Peking will continue to exist much longer even in name; whether, indeed, the next phase in the Chinese turmoil will not be a general disintegration of the Chinese Republic. This is at least a view which being more and more widely accepted out here, and it has penetrated also to the London press. A leading article on China which recently appeared in the \"Spectator\" contains the following:-\n\nSo far as we can see, it grows less and less likely that the great agglomeration of races and tongues, of civilizations and distant provinces, which we call China, will ever own one Government again. We cannot even find a cement which would bind together the federation of provinces.”\n\nAnd it is at this juncture that the British Parliament is to be asked to hand over 114 millions sterling, due to the British taxpayer, to a Board of Trustees which is to be appointed by a Government existing only in name, to a Board, moreover, which is apparently to be accountable to no one, not even to the phantom Government to which it would owe its origin. And this handing over of British funds is to take place at once.\n\n11. It is, of course, obvious that the Board, or, at any rate, the Chinese members of it, though it may be nominally appointed by the Chinese Government (if there should happen to be at the moment a Cabinet in Peking), will actually be nominated by the particular War Lord who happens at the time to dominate the capital. It is equally obvious that the Board, when once nominated, will be allowed to function only just so long as it carries out the wishes of the War Lord in question. It is not very difficult to prophesy what the wishes of such a War Lord with regard to the Indemnity money are likely to be. The conditions being what they are, and what they seem likely to continue to be, it is hard to believe that any Englishman of standing would agree to serve on the Board. It would, even in normal times, be difficult to organize the effective working of a Board which will presumably consist of persons scattered all over China, but which will have to deal with the investment of large sums of money, to say nothing of the question of grants. I do not say that Englishmen would necessarily object to working under a Chinese Chairman, for the Chairman is practically certain to be a Chinese, on a Board in which they were in a minority, provided that they had confidence in the Chairman and were generally assured that the business of the Board would be honestly and efficiently conducted. But the Chairman is not to be specially selected and appointed by an outside authority, but is to be elected by the Board: and the general conditions, under which the Board will be established and would work, are such as to make any confidence in it impossible. It is, in my opinion, utterly unreasonable to expect Englishmen of standing to allow themselves to be placed in the position which those who allow themselves to be appointed members of the Board will undoubtedly occupy. But I consider the whole proposal to be fantastic.\n\n12. Reverting to the objects on which it is suggested that the funds of the Indemnity should be spent, it is clear that not one of the schemes of which the Deputation has approved can, under existing conditions, be materialized. The money might be assigned, but, were there any attempt to spend it, it would undoubtedly find its way into the pockets of the militarists. One of the Deputation's suggestions is the establishment of a scientific institute on which, in its opinion, no less a sum than 18 million dollars might be spent with advantage. But this recommendation has been made without any consideration of the work which is...\n\nPage 446",

        "content_text": "# \n## 2\n\nWhat about your courts of law? I asked General Chiang. It is common knowledge to Chinese and foreigners alike, I said, that what the present courts dispense is something far from justice, and that China has no civil or criminal codes which are worthy of the name, and that so-called justice is in accordance with local custom of each individual village in China; that almost all judges in China live on what they can get out of their jobs (which are usually short-lived) and not on their salaries (which are usually not paid); that foreigners in the country would be far from willing to submit to the ruling of this inadequate system, and that their governments would probably be unwilling to make them submit to it as it exists at present.\n\nWe are prepared for that, stated General Chiang in reply. We have our civil and criminal codes drawn up which we are sure will be satisfactory to all. As the revolution progresses, these will be instituted, and they will not only guarantee the foreigner in China justice in accordance with our laws, but will guarantee the Chinese people justice from the foreigner, which is more important. The beating of Chinese with impunity by foreigners, and the security of the latter in so doing will be a thing of the past. Foreigners who beat Chinese in future will be punished in accordance with our laws, declared the Nationalist chief, and such acts will not be looked upon with leniency.\n\nWhat do you think of Dr. Wellington Koo's action in abrogating the Sino-Belgian Treaty? I asked General Chiang.\n\nIf Dr. Koo was right, was his immediate reply, and the abrogation of this treaty will be made with Belgium which contains special privileges, he said further, and no status quo will be maintained. Belgium wishes to enter into a new treaty, this government is willing to enter into one with her, but upon an entirely new basis. We will execute no treaties such as were signed by former governments, nor will we continue to adhere to any treaties or agreements which were made with other nations by any government in China previous to that of the Nationalist Forces. Nor will we at any time recognize any treaties made now, unless they are over the signature of the Nationalist Government.\n\nWhat about Extraterritoriality and the Foreign Concessions? was the next question.\n\nIf Extraterritoriality continues to exist in China, and if foreign Powers continue to exercise special privileges in this country in the form of administering and owning Concessions here under their own laws and outside of the jurisdiction of the Chinese Government, then the present revolution shall not be complete until these are entirely abolished, stated General Chiang. It is just as great a part of the Revolutionary movement to abolish Extraterritoriality and Foreign Concessions as it is to stamp out the northern militarists, he said further, and this Revolution will not come to an end until that has been done.\n\nDon't you think it would be more satisfactory to all concerned if the relinquishing of special privileges in China were accomplished gradually, I asked, and that it could be done with mutual satisfaction over a period of years as the Chinese government machinery developed a standard of recognized efficiency.\n\nThis is not an evolutionary movement, replied General Chiang. It is revolutionary. There will be no period of years, not one, or two, or three years. We shall have equality and any treaties which do not give us that equality with other nations of the world shall cease to exist as far as we are concerned. There will be no probationary period of waiting from the time the revolution has become a success insofar as our military movement is concerned. There will be no years to wait for the abolition of extraterritoriality and the handing back to China of the Concessions. This will be done at once, and foreigners who wish to remain in China are cordially welcome to stay here and be governed by our laws. Nations who wish to trade with us may do so in accordance with our laws. But no one can stay in China, and no one can trade in China, and still be subject to his own laws alone without reference to the laws of the Chinese government. The idea of waiting for the abolition of these special and unequal privileges over any period of time does not meet with sympathy on our part, and we shall not submit to any such delay under any circumstances.\n\nWhat is your attitude towards the United States, and Americans in China? I asked.\n\nI like America and Americans, he replied, and we are glad to have nationals of your country living and trading in China.\n\nDo you think the form of Government in the United States of America would be suitable to future China? I further inquired.\n\nNo, he said, your government, in spite of its name as a democratic form of government, tends to be imperialist in nature. Our government, as I have said before, will be founded on \"The Three Peoples Principles.\" The fact that you tell me that America is ruled by the people and is therefore a democracy does not make it so. A proper democracy does not hold possessions outside of its own territorial limits, and refuse to the people of those possessions the right to freedom and the right to govern themselves. In so doing, we cannot consider America a government which respects the rights of the people, and thus it is Imperialist in nature.\n\nDo you refer to the Philippine Islands? I asked.\n\nExactly so, he replied. The United States has no right to maintain its hold upon those islands outside of its territory. They are a separate people and are entitled to the right to govern themselves.\n\nHave you ever been to the Philippines? I asked him.\n\nNo, he admitted, he had never visited the Philippines, but he knew their history and what their people wanted.\n\n## 3\n\nI asked General Chiang whether, if they were granted independence, under present world conditions, did he not think it would be necessary for the Philippines to maintain an army and a navy of their own to prevent aggression from other Powers with ideas of territorial conquest, and whether he thought the people of the Islands were of one race and would be capable of governing themselves, with the probability of continuous civil war, and the immediate splitting up of the Islands by the mutual hatreds of their races. I told him that I had visited the Philippines and had travelled over almost every one of its far-flung islands and knew that no one race in one island would be content to be ruled by a race of any other island. Nor could the many races in these islands get together to form a government, since the hatreds of the races against one another were strong.\n\nThis General Chiang discounted as being exaggerated, and stated that it had no bearing whatsoever on the right of the Philippine Islands to autonomy. The making of such statements, thought the General, was an expression of Imperialist trend of mind.\n\nWhat do you think of Christianity and Missionaries in China? I questioned. Will the Nationalist Government continue to sanction Missionary activities in China, or will they be banned?\n\nI have no quarrel with Christianity, said General Chiang, and Missionaries will always be welcome as heretofore. The elimination of missions from China is not part of our programme, and they may function in this country without interference as always.\n\nWill the exploitation of China's natural resources be permitted by foreign companies, I asked, and will foreign industrial enterprise and factories be permitted, or is it the intention of the Nationalist Government to favour the promotion of native-owned industries?\n\nWe will not solicit foreign capital for China, replied General Chiang Kai-shek. It will always be welcome here. If foreign concerns wish to continue their factories in this country, or to open any other form of industrial enterprise, it will be given our hearty support in exactly the same manner as any Chinese enterprise. But it will only be permitted provided it is profitable to the Chinese people who work in these industries. The welfare of the workers comes first in our scheme of things, equally with the welfare of the enterprise itself.\n\nAs your armies gradually cover more territory, it is probably necessary for you to take into your ranks many of your former enemy troops, I suggested. Is it not very likely that with the continual addition of such troops your former enemies will out-number your own southern forces in your own ranks, and that eventually your forces will split and you will have a counter-revolution on your hands?\n\nThere is no such possibility, he replied. In the first place, we do not take over our former enemy troops. Many generals in China are now sending delegates to us asking us to take their forces into our army, but we shall refuse to do so. We defeat and disarm our enemies, and after that is accomplished, such individual soldiers who care to join our army make application to do so. We examine them, and if we think they are the right sort of material, we take them in. We do not take all, nor many of them, by any means. Then they are given a course of education in the Three Peoples Principles of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. They are thus made one of us, and then distributed among our own forces, individually, and not in groups. Thus they learn our motives and principles, and make any idea of split in our ranks or counter-revolution entirely out of the range of possibility.\n\nMost of these former enemy troops who join our forces are used in the building of roads, added General Chiang, and not in actual warfare.\n\nBy giving the labouring masses as much power as your Government is allowing them at present, and stirring them up by means of propaganda which is so ultra-revolutionary in nature, is it not possible that your labour will eventually attain so much control over your movement that it will dominate you completely and possibly impede your movement when it opposes your own plans?\n\nThis is also extremely unlikely, he said. We have no fear of our labouring classes. We work with them, and teach them and train them. Our system is for the people, not over the people, and if we continue to lead them right and train them right, there will be no fear of opposition.\n\nWhat will become of General Liu Yu-chun, who was captured in Wuchang? I then asked.\n\nHe will not be tried by a military court, answered General Chiang, but by a tribunal of the people. He has held the city and the people of Wuchang shall be his judge.\n\nIs it true that General Feng Yu-hsiang has joined hands with the Nationalist movement, and has agreed to co-operate with you in an offensive against Peking?\n\nThat is true, he replied, General Feng Yu-hsiang has become a member of our party, and he and his troops are assisting us now. They will join us in our offensive against Peking in the very near future.\n\nI then asked whether it was true that Generals Wei Yi-san, Tien Wei-chien, and Chin Yun-ao had sent delegates to Hankow in an endeavour to negotiate terms of peace with the Nationalist Forces.\n\nNot exactly, smiled General Chiang. They have sent delegates to ask us to take them and their armies into our forces.\n\nWill you do that?\n\nWe have not decided on any such move, replied the General.\n\nWhat are you going to do about improving communications in China, if anything? I asked.\n\n## \n101",

        "content_text": "Dr. STANTON: Only by way of endorsing what the last speaker has said as to the great desirability of study leave and that, if it is possible, when officers are taking leave in the ordinary way they should undergo some special course of instruction. In most Colonies, of course, that is the rule, either for promotion or for passing an efficiency bar or the like. They have to take a special course. It is not so in the West Indies, but in West Africa, East Africa, and in the Far East the regulations provide for special courses, and study leave is on very generous terms, particularly in East Africa where it is given on full pay and all fees are paid. In the Far East it is on half pay which is not quite so favourable.\n\nMr. AMERY: Would you say that the East African scale was the right one?\n\nDr. STANTON: I consider that the East African study leave regulations are the most generous, perhaps they are a little over-generous. The extended leave is on full pay and the fees for courses and examination fees are paid. It is questionable, perhaps, whether that does not err on the side of over-generosity, but the East African regulations for study leave are certainly the best from the point of view of the officer.\n\nMr. AMERY: Do officers avail themselves of them fully?\n\nDr. STANTON: They do. They are very keen to take advantage of these regulations.\n\nMr. AMERY: And they study keenly?\n\nDr. STANTON: That is so, Sir.\n\nMr. AMERY: They do not treat it merely as a holiday?\n\nDr. STANTON: I think one can say without any reservation that they do not.\n\nMr. ORMSBY GORE: Do they nearly all go to the London School of Tropical Medicine?\n\nDr. STANTON: To various places. One East African officer is now in Vienna doing special work. They take a special course in surgery or medicine or in the particular subject about which they are keenest; not all of them take courses in tropical medicine.\n\nMr. AMERY: Do the Far Eastern officers avail themselves freely of study leave, or does this half-pay regulation rather tend to choke them off?\n\nDr. STANTON: They avail themselves of it less readily than in the Colonies which provide leave on full pay. I think it is reasonable that the leave should be on full pay as it is to the advantage of the Colony that the officer should do this particular work, always provided that the Governor has approved of it in advance. It is, I think, most important that the Governor should have sanctioned study leave for a particular purpose before the officer leaves the Colony: it should not be left to this Office.\n\nMr. AMERY: When you say the East African scale is perhaps over-generous, I suppose you would not suggest that as a pure matter of business the East African Governments have been unwise in being so generous?\n\nDr. STANTON: I had in my mind the question of paying fees for higher diplomas which no other Government does. It is to the advantage of the officer himself to acquire certain special qualifications and for that reason no other Government pays all examination fees, I think.\n\nMr. HARDING: West Africa pays.\n\nMr. ALEXANDER: The question of private practice comes in. We allow our doctors to have private practice and the more highly qualified they are the better is their private practice, so that we do not feel disposed to be so generous to them as we might be from that point of view. I do not know whether medical officers in East Africa are allowed private practice but even if they were they would not have the same chances of...\n\nPage 31",

        "content_text": "CHINA.\n\nCOST OF LIVING IN HONG KONG.\n\nLord Passfield Sceptical.\n\nH. C. L. ALLOWANCES: MORE TAXATION?\n\n(From Our Own Correspondent.)\n\nHong Kong, Apr. 26.\n\nLord Passfield has sent a cable to Hong Kong expressing surprise at the assertion that the cost of living in the Colony is higher now than it was ten years ago. The Colonial Secretary has asked that a table of comparative prices be prepared, showing what we paid for bread and cheese in 1920 and in 1929. He hopes, when these figures are drawn up, to be able to recommend that the special \"H.C.L.\" allowances now being paid to Government servants be withdrawn, or at any rate reduced.\n\nNeedless to say, surprise is expressed in this Colony that there should be speculation in Whitehall about a matter which is one of common and painful knowledge and experience to those living here. Why Lord Passfield should imagine that the cost of living in Hong Kong should do anything else but go up is a mystery, and if he could only come out here for a trip and do a month's housekeeping, he would get the surprise of his life.\n\nLondon is still one of the cheapest places in the world to live in - if you want to live cheaply - and Hong Kong one of the dearest, considering what you get for your money.\n\nThe only people who can afford to motor much are the agents who take \"prospects\" out for demonstration drives. Petrol has just jumped from 61 to 75 cents a gallon, and there are rumours of a 10 cents per gallon tax before long.\n\nMore Taxation.\n\nOne thing is quite certain. The Government has to raise an extra million and a half dollars somehow in order to meet increased salary charges, and the problem is where to find the money? So far there is no indication of a rush of public-spirited citizens to surrender each a few lakhs for the common good. Failing such voluntary sacrifices, other measures will have to be taken, and we are all very anxious to know just where the axe will fall! Non-motorists heartily approve a tax on petrol; those who patronise the cinema only once in a blue moon are strongly in favour of an entertainment tax. Total abstainers would not object to a tax of ten dollars a bottle on whisky; while the \"gin-slingers\" would not oppose a tax on ice-cream and soft drinks, and non-smokers would rejoice to see a tax on cigars and cigarettes. How to reconcile all these conflicting views with one another is one of the many tasks awaiting the new Governor.\n\nIt is hard luck on Sir William Peel that he may have the thankless duty of imposing new taxation very soon after he arrives, but it looks very much as though he will have to do it - unless, of course, the $1,500,000 can be wiped out by cutting salaries down!\n\nWeihaiwei What Next?\n\nIn expressing his appreciation of Great Britain's friendly action in handing back Weihaiwei to China, Dr. C. T. Wang (speaking on behalf of the Chinese Government) urged his countrymen to persevere until \"all sovereign rights are restored\" to China. This is a perfectly natural sentiment, of course, but it is recalled that it was in the same year (1898) of the British flag being hoisted at Weihaiwei that China leased to Great Britain for 99 years the 300 square miles behind Kowloon Peninsula known as the New Territory.\n\nKowloon itself was definitely ceded to Great Britain in 1860, but the territory beyond this four square miles is held on lease by Britain until 1997. Hong Kong was ceded to Great Britain in 1841, and in the following year the Chinese Government formally recognised the cession of the island.\n\nAll this history every well-informed schoolboy knows, no doubt, but when Dr. Wang talks about the restoration of \"all sovereign rights\" to China, there is just a tiny chill that runs up and down the spine of some people living under the British flag at the other end of the map of China. It has taken a long time to come to terms over the rendition of Weihaiwei, but the responsibility for that is China's. Years ago the agreement was ready to sign when the Peking Government was suddenly toppled over, and the matter had to be left over until things quietened down sufficiently to enable a resumption of responsible conversations.\n\n\"Wei-hai\" is a quiet little place, but is affectionately regarded by many British residents in the Far East as a very pleasant spot to spend a summer holiday.\n\nA Good Investment.\n\nRight Honourable Lord Passfield,\n\nSingapore, 4/5/30.\n\nBill for food only:\n\n1875, our first man, $18.50;\n\n1922, the other 3/10, $4;\n\nAverage cost of living in a free house (rent) $60;\n\nToday, about $240.\n\n12\n\n86",

There are many places for taking over control of which preparations are being made. The remainder are still under discussion.\n\nRecent news from foreigners on the scene is to the effect that the French and British authorities now recognize the probability of the return of Shameen to the control of the Chinese Government, but that, the matter being of some importance, this cannot be accomplished in a day. Until the diplomatic representatives of China, Britain, and France have reached agreement on rendition, it will not become a fact.\n\nFurther news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intimates that last year the Central Government, through its Foreign Minister, Dr. Wang, made definite progress towards the rendition of Shameen concession, and that now action on this question is making headway.\n\nIt is heard that the Foreign Minister proposes, with the object of planning the quicker settlement of the matter, to set up a committee for the rendition of Shameen, and that someone named Koo will be chairman of the committee.",

        "content_text": "# 204\n\n## Reserved areas; Abrogation of conflicting clauses in existing treaties; Authoritative text; Duration; Ratification; and Preamble\n\nOf the above, the first three had already been attacked by Mr. Teichman and Mr. Hsu-mo and I now took them up with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The first was a very complicated and delicate question with the Chinese Government, who, it was well known, were determined on no account whatever to recede from the attitude that the general opening of the country to foreign residence and trade was to be retained as the final inducement for securing the abolition of the unequal treaties, and was not to be granted until all the old treaty rights and privileges had been abolished and China's relations with foreign countries placed on a basis of complete equality and reciprocity. This was realised by His Majesty's Government, who had inserted in the original British draft a clause providing for residence and trade throughout China rather as a tactical move than with the intention of insisting on the point. The whole subject was indeed a complicated and delicate one on our side also in view of the attitude of the Dominions towards the question of Chinese immigration. I had therefore been authorised to put forward a revised draft article merely providing that British subjects should enjoy rights of residence and trade, &c., in all localities where the nationals of other countries enjoyed such rights. Even this formula was, however, unacceptable to the Chinese, since it might in their view be held to prevent them from granting full rights of residence and trade to the nationals of a country which had surrendered all old treaty privileges without at the same time according equal rights to British subjects before His Majesty's Government had reached the same position in connexion with the abandonment of special treaty privileges, e.g., concessions, troops of occupation, &c. The Minister for Foreign Affairs practically admitted that the Chinese Government would not open the country to anyone until all had surrendered all special privileges, but he could not be moved from what he described as a fundamental point in the policy of his Government. He offered the same declaration (the opening of the country when relations were on a footing of complete equality) as he had given to the Italian and other Governments who had concluded the Extra-territoriality Treaties of 1928, but His Majesty's Government had already considered and rejected this formula as unsuited to the circumstances of the present negotiations. Ultimately I agreed to submit to you a redraft embodying an addition to our formula providing that, where such rights of residence and trade were granted only on the fulfilment of certain conditions, such conditions would also have to be fulfilled by British subjects. Subsequently, after further telegraphic consultation with you, it was decided that it was undesirable for various reasons to accept such a conditional most-favoured-nation clause and that it would be better under the circumstances to defer the question of the opening of the interior to a later date and to rest content for the time being with the confirmation of existing rights in regard to travel, residence, trade, industry, and so on (see also paragraph 47 below).\n\n## Publication of Codes\n\n34. We next took up the draft article providing for the publication and communication to His Majesty's Government of the texts and translations of Chinese codes, laws, &c. This was another point on which the Chinese Government had throughout been extremely touchy, since they always reacted violently against any suggestion that their codes could be subjected in any sense to the scrutiny of foreign Governments, or that they were under any obligation to provide official translations of their laws in any shape or form. No progress was made with this article, though we agreed tentatively further to explore the possibilities of reaching common ground in an exchange of notes. Ultimately, at a later stage in the negotiations, agreement was reached on a draft note to be addressed to me by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which met our requirements sufficiently in this respect.\n\nand so on.\n\n## Personal Status\n\n35. Finally, we discussed the question of personal status cases on which we had been working for some time. The problem was how to create a bridge between our proposals, removing all such cases entirely from Chinese jurisdiction, and the Chinese proposals, merely providing for the application to such cases by the Chinese courts of British law. The whole subject bristled with knotty points, legal, administrative, and financial, including the complications connected with the administration of the estates of deceased persons, the levying of probate fees. I felt very strongly from the outset that we should never be able to reach a settlement unless we sought to keep our formula as simple as possible, working on the lines that, while in general British law would be applied by the Chinese courts in such personal status cases as might fall under their jurisdiction, cases in which only British subjects were concerned would be reserved for British jurisdiction. As had throughout been our experience in these negotiations, our attempts to induce the Chinese themselves to put forward new proposals in the place of their original draft produced no results whatsoever, and we were thus constrained in this case again to formulate new proposals ourselves. With this object in view, I had discussed the matter fully with the Crown Advocate and Mr. Teichman, and, with Mr. Mossop's assistance, Mr. Teichman had already submitted and discussed tentatively with Mr. Hsü Mo a compromise redraft which seemed to meet the case from our point of view. This text was now discussed and I was finally able to reach agreement with the Minister for Foreign Affairs on a new draft article ad referendum to His Majesty's Government and without commitment on my side.\n\n## Reserved Areas: Discussion of April 27: Minister for Foreign Affairs offers International Settlement at Shanghai for Three Years\n\n36. After we had finished our work on the treaty texts, I had a private discussion with the Minister for Foreign Affairs on what had by now become the major issue on which the fate of the whole treaty depended, namely, the question of the reserved areas. Dr. Wang now came out with his definite proposal, which he described as his furthest offer, the exclusion of the Settlement at Shanghai and the Settlement alone for a period of three years. I pressed him hard again and warned him that His Majesty's Government were most unlikely to consider anything so inadequate, but failed to make any impression on him. In such an atmosphere, it was clearly useless to show my hand in regard to bargaining and for the time being I left it at that on the understanding that I would at once report his offer to you and await your instructions.\n\n## Negotiations of other Powers: Dutch and Norwegians Settle: American Negotiations resumed at Washington\n\n37. In the meanwhile, the Norwegian and Netherlands Ministers had concluded their negotiations and joined the majority by signing on the 23rd April agreements on the models of those concluded in 1928 with Italy, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, and Belgium. The Norwegian Minister was good enough to communicate to me copies of the notes he had exchanged with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which provided that Norwegian nationals would come under Chinese jurisdiction simultaneously with the nations of those countries which participated in the discussions of the Washington Conference. The Netherlands Minister was curiously secretive and neither communicated to me a copy of the text of the agreement, nor even informed me of its general purport, or of the fact that he had signed it. As regards the negotiations of the major Powers, the Japanese Chargé d'Affaires had been recalled to Tokyo to confer with his Government. The French were making no progress. While, as regards the United States, the State Department were discussing the texts of our agreed articles with the Chinese Minister at Washington, whither the American negotiations had been tacitly retransferred. It looked as though the State Department had never had any real intention of handing them over to Mr. Johnson at Nanking; that they had only considered doing so when they had at the outset reached a complete impasse with Mr. C. C. Wu; and that, as soon as, thanks to our agreed texts, they saw their way out, they immediately took matters back into their own hands. This transfer of the American negotiations back to Washington was, of course, welcomed on the Chinese side; and, though the procedure was cumbersome, we were able to keep...\n\n# 201",

        "content_text": "## THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & JUNK SINKING INQUIRY CONCLUDES\n\n### More Experts Give Evidence\n\nExpert evidence given by Mr. V. C. Branson, Government Analyst, and Police Inspector A. L. Hopkins, an expert on arms and ammunition, at the final hearing of the enquiry into the merciless shelling and sinking of a fleet of Chinese fishing junks, allegedly by the hands of a malicious Japanese submarine crew, revealed that a bullet extracted from one of the victims was of the type known as incendiary.\n\nThe inquiry was conducted by a special Government-appointed Commission comprising His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor (Chairman), the Harbour Master, Hon. Commander J. B. Newill, and Mr. Justice J. A. Fraser. Mr. J. C. McDouall acted as Secretary to the Commission, whilst Mr. John Whyatt, Assistant Attorney General, was in charge of witnesses.\n\nIt is understood the Report of the Commission will be ready in two or three days' time.\n\nMr. V. C. Branson, Government Analyst, said he received a fragment of a bullet from Inspector Hopkins two days ago. With the assistance of Inspector Hopkins, he removed the envelope on the outside of the bullet and found inside a copper tube containing some whitish substance which he analysed. The substance consisted of barium, magnesium, carbonate, and hydrate.\n\nMr. Whyatt: Can you express any opinion as to how that substance in its present state has been formed? - It would be the end-product from the interaction of barium, peroxide, and magnesium after exposure.\n\n\"What type of interaction would you call that?\" - A fast combustion.\n\nAll you can say is that, in your opinion, the original substance consisted of peroxide, barium, and magnesium? - Yes.\n\nWhat is it used for? - It is a standard mixture for tracer bullets - an incendiary bullet.\n\nWhat is its primary function? - It is used to cause heat and flame.\n\nCan you express any opinion as to the heat which might be generated by igniting this mixture? - I cannot say exactly, but I know it is used to ignite thermite, which requires a high temperature to ignite - at least 1,000 degrees in round figures.\n\n### ARMS EXPERT\n\nInspector A. L. Hopkins, in charge of arms and ammunition of the Police Force, said he had held that appointment since last year. Prior to that, he was musketry Instructor to the Police for four years and had considerable experience of firearms, having studied for 20 years, both theoretically and practically.\n\nWitness was handed a piece of metal by Mr. Whyatt, who asked: Have you examined this piece of metal carefully? (The metal was taken out of a man by Dr. Bau at the Kwong Wah Hospital) - Yes.\n\nCan you express any opinion as to the origin of this piece of metal? - It is very difficult to be definite, but it is consistent with its being a shell splinter; also, it could possibly be part of a larger piece of metal other than a shell.\n\nIn any event, it is consistent with a shell splinter? - Yes, that's about all I can tell you about that piece of metal.\n\nHanding the witness another exhibit, part of a bullet, Mr. Whyatt asked: Can you express any opinion as to whether that bullet has been fired? - Yes.\n\nWhy do you say that? - Because there were four rifling marks impressed on the envelope - four lands and grooves with a right-hand twist.\n\nDo those marks enable you to form any opinion as to the kind of weapon from which that bullet was fired? - They are common to a machine-gun of the Lewis gun type.\n\n### UNUSUAL BULLET\n\nIs that an unusual type of bullet in your experience? - It is.\n\nWhy do you say that? - Because of the copper tube inside, of which Mr. Branson and I found a whitish substance.\n\nCan you tell me from your knowledge of ammunition of all kinds, what would be the object of making a bullet with a copper tube and filling it with powder? - To make a tracer bullet, an incendiary bullet, or, possibly, an explosive bullet.\n\nChairman: Inspector Hopkins, you said a few moments ago that from the lands and grooves you found on the end of that tube, you have formed that it was fired from a machine-gun of the Lewis gun type? - Not exactly; it is common to the machine-gun type.\n\nMr. Whyatt informed the Commissioners that the remaining witnesses could not be located as they had found new employment in fishing junks. Strenuous efforts had been made by the Police to locate them, but so far without success. He was certain that if further time could be spared, these witnesses could be found, but in view of the urgency of the report, he did not propose to ask for an adjournment. All the witnesses who were available had been called, and he trusted that the evidence which had been adduced would be of assistance to the Commission in arriving at its conclusions.\n\nChairman: I should like on behalf of my colleagues, as well as for myself, to thank you, Mr. Whyatt, for the very great assistance you have given us in the presentation of the case and marshalling of the evidence.\n\nThe Commission then retired.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\n## RACE FANS PROVIDED WITH EXCELLENT SPORT\n\n### MR.

THE ONE HELD ON OCT. 21 WAS FEATURED BY GOOD WEATHER, AN EXCELLENT ATTENDANCE, AND WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, THE VERY FINE RACING PROVIDED TO THE HUNDREDS OF RACE FANS WHO LINED THE RAILS TO WATCH EACH EVENT.\n\nThere were many other counter-attractions, but race fans remained loyal to the King of Sport. There were no sensational dividends - testimony, if such indeed is needed, to the excellent judgment of the handicapper. The day's sport was marred somewhat by an unfortunate accident to Mr. O. R. Sadick, a novice jockey, who was thrown by Happy Venture, in the Paddock Handicap. Fortunately, the injuries sustained by this promising jockey were only slight.\n\nRacing honours went to Messrs. H.

With hostilities and something like a blockade at our doors, it would be a rash man who would speculate on Japan's present aims in South China, but it is difficult to believe that Macao, with its shallow water and its general strategic disadvantages, would be a likely objective. If a forcible occupation, in despite of treaties, is contemplated, some island or other deep water place in South China would surely be more worthwhile strategically, quite apart from the vital fact that the integrity of China would seem to be a much less dangerous stake to hazard than the integrity of a European Colony.\n\n13. The alternative of a full-dress war between Japan and Portugal, with all of the Portuguese possessions in Asia at stake, is not for me to discuss. But from every conceivable point of view, it is difficult to see how this issue could be seriously affected by a few additional fortifications at Macao, which could have no possible target to seaward greater than a shallow-draft gunboat.\n\n14. I have apologized for the \"political\" character of this despatch, and I must now add an apology for its prolixity. On the eve of handing over the administration, I can at least promise that neither offence will be repeated.\n\n15. I make no apology, however, for suggesting that the commercial relations between Hong Kong and Macao deserve to be more intimate than in the past. This was Dr. Barbosa's constant plea, and I suggest that it deserves consideration quite apart from irredentism and Japanese \"bogeys\" and politics generally. Much has been made in the past of Macao's budgetary dependence on gambling and opium. But there is a considerable legitimate trade, there is a good road between Macao and the important Shek-ki district, and there is a vast",

In pursuance of the Assembly's decision of October 5th, 1937, approving the Fourth Committee's report (document A.76(a).1937), and of the Council's resolution of the same date, the Supervisory Commission met at Paris on October 19th and 20th to examine the scheme of anti-epidemic action drawn up by the special Sub-Committee of the Health Committee.\n\nThe Sub-Committee's report is appended.\n\n2. The Commission's first step was to clear up certain points on which full explanations were furnished by Dr. Parisot, Chairman of the Sub-Committee.\n\n3. In accordance with Chapter III of its previous report, dated October 4th (document A.76(a).1937), the Supervisory Commission examined the proposals submitted by the Sub-Committee, both from the budgetary and administrative points of view, and took the necessary steps to ensure that the execution of the scheme should not entail, directly or indirectly, expenditure in excess of the sum of two millions allocated by the Assembly.1\n\nThe entire responsibility for the work will be assumed by the Chinese Government. The League's part will therefore be to place at that Government's disposal, for a period of one year, groups of experts provided with the necessary medical and technical equipment. The general principle which the Commission felt impelled to adopt will involve the following consequences, which may be conveniently enumerated as follows:\n\n(a) Personnel. The experts to be sent by the League of Nations to China will not form a distinct international body operating in a particular country. They will be technicians grouped in a given area and placed at the Chinese Government's disposal under the same conditions as the advisers which the League has sent out to assist that Government on former occasions.\n\nThe experts will be invited to accept a contract of a stated type, providing among other things for insurance, so that acceptance of such contracts will entirely relieve the League of any financial responsibility in respect of those concerned.\n\n2\n\nAll arrangements with regard to the appointment of experts, the drafting of their contracts and the taking-out of insurance policies will be made by the Secretary-General of the League of Nations.\n\nThe credits necessary for the payment of the experts' salaries for the year during which the scheme is to remain in force will be earmarked at the time of their appointment: no shortage is therefore to be feared in regard to this chapter of the budget.\n\n(b) Medical and Technical Equipment (travelling laboratories, motor-cars, medicines and vaccines, etc.). On the termination of the scheme, the material and equipment placed at the experts' disposal will become the absolute property of the Chinese Government. It is understood that the handing-over to the Chinese authorities of the material provided for in the scheme does not imply direct or indirect responsibility on the part of the League of Nations for the replacement of such material in the event of its proving insufficient or being exhausted before the end of the year during which the scheme is in operation.\n\nAs regards the purchase and despatch of the material, for which the Secretariat is not equipped, the Commission recommends that it should as far as possible be centralised, and that in any case the work should be placed in the hands of an experienced person, every precaution being taken to ensure that the purchases are made under the best possible conditions.\n\n1 The contribution of the Chinese Government towards the 1937 budget was paid at the beginning of November and transferred to a special account.\n\n2 Whenever it may be thought advisable to consult the Governments of individual experts, this will be done before the appointment is made.\n\n3349\n\n-\n\nS.d.N. 650 (F.) 400 (A.) 11/37.

This is therefore the actual Centenary day; but a landing on the island by a British naval force, and a preliminary declaration of Queen Victoria's suzerainty, is reported to have taken place on January 25.\n\nThere can be little doubt that voyagers from the West have must sighted Hongkong island, and put in to one or other of its bays, many years before the British occupation we have years ago.\n\nNear Shekpaiwan, well established at least 200 years ago, was the village we know to-day as Little Hongkong. It was then named Heungkong, apparently a translation of \"Fragrant Streams,\" to give the most poetical version of the name. On most old charts, this village must have been marked as the principal town of the island; and no doubt, in time, the whole island came to be so named, thus giving us the present name of the Colony itself. The village of Little Hongkong, decimated by malaria, has within the past quarter century fallen partly into ruins, and its existence will in time probably be no more than a matter of local history - a striking commentary on the march of time.\n\nHONGKONG attains its hundredth year under British suzerainty in difficult times: conditions in a war-torn world prevent fitting celebration of a great historic event in the Colony's history. Nevertheless, Hongkong stands to-day a monument of British foresight, enterprise, and stamina; it is still a haven of refuge, a symbol of democratic freedom, and a beacon for many who falter in these troubled and uncertain times. Its history may well be unique, and its heritage one to cherish.\n\nIN these pages, of necessity in brief form, is given the main factual history of this Empire outpost against a background of grit and the true pioneering spirit; is told the plain story of how a barren, fever-stricken rock became the Hongkong of to-day - one of the largest seaports in the world, with a huge entrepot trade, important industries, and a population of near two millions when the whole territory of the Colony is included. It stands a bastion of civilisation, as democratic peoples translate that term; perhaps, also a challenge. Whatever the next hundred years may hold for Hongkong, its first century is a glorious one, and the tale of its development, however briefly told, should form an inspiration to any who come after us.\n\nThe reasons for the acquisition of the Colony make a rather long story, but may be summarised briefly. The first settlement at nearby Macao, and the arrival of the Dutch navigators and early missionaries, who went as far as Formosa and to Japan, had broken out between Britain and China, mainly owing to friction where foreign merchants had established themselves in the trading centres known as factories. Hostilities ceased at the beginning of 1841, and the decision to take over Hongkong in place of what is now Boundary Street, was to remain intact. The revolt, in which the city was involved, caused the British authorities to take all Chinese residing on the island under their control, and thus the de facto administration of Hongkong under British rule commenced.\n\nWhen Sir Henry Pottinger became Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony by Royal Warrant in 1843, the Colonial Government was organised, with a Lieutenant Governor, Major-General George C. D'Aguilar, C.B., who was the General Officer Commanding the British land forces in China. The title of Lieutenant Governor was abolished after his tenure; but he also administered the Government on several occasions up to 1847. The first Colonial Secretary was Lieut.-Col. George Alexander Malcolm (1843), who was succeeded by Mr F. W. A. Bruce in 1844, and by Major William Caine (who also was Chief Magistrate in those early years) in 1848. Lieut William Pedder, R.N., was the first Harbour Master (1843); the Colonial Surgeon being Dr Alexander (1843), succeeded by Dr F. Dill in 1844; and the first head of the Police Department was Mr Charles May, who took up his duties in 1844. The Post Office goes back as a department to 1842, when a Mr FitzGibbon was in charge, succeeded in a few months by a Mr Mullahy, who in turn gave place to Mr R. Edwards; Mr F. Spring followed in 1843; and in 1846, Mr Thomas Hyland was appointed, being the most energetic of the early Postmasters, and serving for some years.\n\n## THE BRITISH ADVENT\n\nKowloon Old City, now largely disappearing under development of the area, was until about fifteen years ago surrounded by an ancient wall in perfect state of preservation. Here for a considerable period, the centre of Chinese government of the adjacent area was the yamen. The city was founded seven or eight hundred years ago, and the Chinese attached so much sentimental value to the place that under the convention handing over the New Territories, jurisdiction of the Kowloon City yamen was to remain intact.\n\nThe Mandarin of Kowloon City still retained his yamen at that old town. On January 20, 1841, a Circular was issued from Macao by Captain Elliot, Chief Superintendent of Trade and Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China, announcing the cession of the island and harbour of Hongkong to the British Crown (as part of the terms of the peace with the Chinese). Captain Elliot arrived a few days later, on January 26, and had formal possession of the Colony concluded in 1858, but broke out again, and it was not until 1860 that hostilities ceased. The cession of Kowloon peninsula was taken over in 1861.\n\n## INCLUSION OF KOWLOON\n\nThe Colony of Hongkong continued to comprise merely the island area until 1861, when the small ceded territory of Kowloon peninsula was taken over. After the second war with China - known as the \"Arrow\" War owing to its being the result of an attack at Canton on a lorcha of that name, flying the British flag and owned by Hongkong Chinese - it was felt that for the proper defence of the island, the section of the mainland should also be in British possession.\n\nThe development of Kowloon proceeded apace, and Portuguese residents were prominent in this pioneering work. The New Territories were taken over on lease for 99 years, under a convention signed in Peking, the lease commencing on July 1, 1898. However, owing to trouble caused by Chinese agitators, the area had to be pacified, and it was not until April 1899 that full occupation was effected. Much of the trouble was centred in Taipo, and a detachment of troops, and some naval units, were sent to aid the Police. After some skirmishing, the British flag was hoisted at Taipo on April 16, and the trouble subsided. The greatest opposition was met at Kam Tin village, and the iron gates of that place were removed, but were returned (after being taken to England in the meantime) in 1925.\n\n## EARLY ADMINISTRATION\n\nThough Captain Elliot was the first administrator, the first officer to bear the title of Governor of Hongkong was Sir Henry Pottinger, G.C.B. This was owing to the technical formalities of taking over Hongkong as a British Crown Colony; so Sir Henry commenced as Administrator and concluded his term of office as Governor. Mr A. R. Johnston succeeded Captain Elliot on June 22, 1841, as Administrator, Sir Henry Pottinger assuming office on August 12 the same year, and being appointed Governor on June 26, 1843, when the island was officially designated \"the Colony of Hongkong.\" \n\nThese early administrators, in fact, were Superintendents of Trade. Mr A. T. Gordon was the first Surveyor General (a title changed in 1891 to Director of Public Works), and took up his post in 1843, being succeeded by Mr C. St George Cleverly in 1845. That saw the beginnings of the Public Works Department.\n\nThe first Registrar General (an office changed to that of Secretary for Chinese Affairs in 1913) was Mr S. T. Fearon, in 1845, who was succeeded in 1846 by Mr A. L. Inglis.\n\nThe Supreme Court was founded in 1844, the first Chief Justice, appointed that year, being Mr John Walter Hulme. The first Registrar of the Supreme Court (1844) was Mr R. D. Cay.\n\nThe earliest of the Colonial Treasurers (a title recently changed to Accountant General) was Mr E. Elmslie.\n\nOne of the most interesting narratives of the landing on the island has been preserved in a narrative of the voyage of H.M.S. Sulphur in 1836-1842: by Dr Clarke Abel, K.C.B.\n\nNear Kowloon City is the Sung Wong terrace, where a large rock reputed to have formed a shelter for Emperor Dai Ping, who when he was in flight from the Mongolian invaders, rested for a brief period at Kowloon. \n\nThe following interesting account is given: \"On the return of the Commodore (to Macao) on the 24th of January, 1841, we were directed to proceed to Hongkong, and commence its survey. We landed on Monday, the 25th, 1841, at fifteen minutes past eight a.m., and being the bona fide first possessors, Her Majesty's health was drunk with three cheers on Possession Mount. On the 26th, the squadron arrived; the marines were landed, the union flag hoisted on our post, and formal possession taken of the island, by Commodore Sir J. J. G. Bremer, accompanied by the other officers of the squadron, under a feu-de-joie from the other marines, and a royal salute from the ships of war.\"\n\nIt is interesting to note that Possession Point (now Chinese recreation ground) appears on older plans of the city, situated not far from the waterfront, near Queen Street, in a space enclosed by Queen's Road on the north and Gap Street on the south. Possession Street exists to-day, immediately alongside, connecting Queen's Road and Hollywood Road.\n\nThe reference to Macao is explained by the fact that, when the war with China broke out, British and other foreign residents evacuated Canton and took refuge in the friendly Portuguese colony until hostilities were over, and for a time, British interests in China had been directed from Macao.\n\nPage 9",

Thoresen & Co., Ltd., for the last five years, partly in Bangkok, partly in Hongkong. I came back to Hongkong in August, 1941, taking over the Import Department of the Firm. Prior to that, I had been working also in the shipping export and insurance departments. Besides my ordinary work, I was a keen amateur photographer, member of the Photographic Society of Hongkong. Occasionally, I would send articles and photos to newspapers in Norway (before April 1940, of course) and to America. Ref: `LIFE` - 22nd September 1941, Japanese Naval Ships occupying Indo-China. The pictures I took on that occasion were given to the Naval Information Department in Hong Kong and I understand copies were also sent to Singapore.\n\nWhen War broke out in December 1941, I joined up with the A.T.S. and was attached to the Telephone Co., whose engineers formed a volunteer section of signal men. I was Captain WALTER CLARK'S chauffeur and we were driving practically all around the island every day, visiting the various signal posts, and inspecting damage caused by bombing or shelling. When the Japanese occupied the City of Hongkong on 26th December, 1941, I was staying with the Telephone Co's people in Exchange Building. Everybody in the building were interned, regardless of nationality. We had to go up on the roof at 7 a.m. doing physical exercises every morning and had more or less an order of the day to follow. However, we were generally well treated, having three solid meals a day in Cafe' Wiseman. When the British, Americans and Dutch were sent to the Chinese hotels for internment, they allowed all Third Nationals in Exchange Building to go back to their homes, if there was anything left to go back to. As my flat in Conduit Road had been taken by a Japanese Civilian, I was allowed to stay on in Exchange Building until I joined four other Norwegians and took a house on Bowen Road. One of my mess mates was Mrs. TUI BERG, a trained nurse, Australian born, married to a Norwegian, SVERRE BERG. The latter was a volunteer in the 2nd Battery and was wounded in the arm. His wife used to go to the Military Hospital every week handing in parcels, until he was transferred to SHAMSHUIPO Camp. I understand the treatment and food at the Hospital are better than in the Camps, as Mrs. SELWYN-CLARKE, assisted by Mrs. BERG, Mrs. ODELL, Miss HAHN, and others, handed in considerable quantities of food and medicines every week, to a value of about 1,400 or H.K. $5,600. The financial side was arranged by Dr. SELWYN-CLARKE. The general state of health at SHAMSHUIPO has been rather bad, with a high percentage of deaths and sickness. The small field hospital inside the Camp is full, and only in very serious cases patients are sent over to Bowen Road and very often too late.\n\nFrom our house in Bowen Road, we used to see coffins covered with the Union Jack being carried out of the Hospital quite frequently and buried on the hillside.\n\nIn July, 1942, the value of the Hongkong Dollars depreciated to the rate of 4 to 1, and the Military Yen has since been the only acceptable currency for payment of Government bills, tram, bus and ferry fares, etc. Prices went up suddenly after the drop in exchange sometimes twice or three times in Yen compared with previous quotations in Dollars. A tin costing $2 before would be priced at Y4 or Y6, thus putting the cost of living for those who had to depend on a limited amount of Hongkong dollars to an extremely high level. Shortage of food was beginning to be acute, and before and during the Chinese New Year, there was practically no meat, pork and fish in the market. There was a ration scheme for rice, flour, sugar and peanut oil, as follows:\n\n| Category | \nRice |",

        "content_text": "8411- \n\n1\n\n5516\n\nNote of a discussion with Dr. Li Shu-Fan on the 10th February, 1944.\n\n10\n\nDr. Li Shu-Fan called at the Colonial Office this morning to have a general talk on matters connected with the Far East. Mr. Gent, Mr. Paskin, Mr. N. L. Smith and Dr. Purcell, together with Sir Arthur Blackburn and Mr. G. P. Young from the Foreign Office, were present.\n\nConversation covered a wide variety of topics, the most important of which are summarised below.\n\n1. The future status of Hong Kong.\n\nIn reply to a question whether he could give us any guidance as to the likely line of future Chinese policy of Chinese communities in British territories such as Hong Kong, Malaya and Borneo, Dr. Li explained that he could not be taken as expressing an official Chinese Government view; nevertheless, owing to his early association with Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, he had played his part in the foundation of the Chinese Republic, and after his return to Hong Kong, had maintained a close association with leading Chinese Government circles.\n\nOn his escape from the Colony, he had been the house guest of Dr. T.V. Soong, the Chinese Foreign Minister, for nearly 4 months, and in the course of that time had gone into frequent contact with Chinese Ministers and officials (he mentioned in particular Dr. Sun Fo, General Vu Ten Cheng and Mr. Wang Chung-Hui), during which the question of Hong Kong inevitably came up. He would describe the prevalent feeling in China as being dominated by an intense sense of Nationalism, which gained its inspiration from the teaching of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the guidance of the Generalissimo, and as a particular application of this feeling, it was commonly considered that China was entitled to the rendition of Hong Kong. There was indeed an expectation that Great Britain would restore the territory to China as a mark of goodwill.\n\nIn reply to a question, Dr. Li said that he did not come across so strong a sentiment in regard to the restoration of Macao, but it seemed to be assumed that China would somehow or other recover this territory too. There even seemed to be an expectation that the Japanese would facilitate this by turning the Portuguese out of their Colony and handing it over to the Nanking Government. He added however that the Japanese had shown no sign of giving Hong Kong to the Nanking authorities.\n\nQuestioned on the feeling on the point within Hong Kong, Dr. Li drew a distinction between the transient population of the Colony and those Chinese who were born and had property interests there. Among the first category, feeling, so far as it existed at all, was probably similar to that in China proper. A high percentage of the second category, however, felt considerable qualms whether they would find under Chinese Government the security for their property which they had found in the past under British rule. They were, in fact, doubtful whether post-war China would be a land of law and order. Dr. Li appeared, however, to doubt whether their feelings on this point were as intense as the opposite sentiments held in Chungking circles, and he evaded a request for his own personal views as a Hong Kong property owner on the point.\n\nIn",

General\n\nDuring the period covered by this report the Japanese Forces were in occupation of the Colony of Hong Kong. News of the rescript of the Emperor of Japan to his troops indicating that Japan had agreed to the terms of the Potsdam Declaration and would surrender unconditionally was received in Hong Kong on the 15th August, 1945. It was not possible, however, to leave the internment camps until ten days later; and another ten days elapsed before the British Fleet arrived and the Japanese medical authorities were willing to hand over their functions. The actual surrender of Hong Kong was not formally signed until the 6th September.\n\nIt was the policy of the invading forces to destroy as far as possible all evidence of the previous British Government; statues of our Royal Sovereigns, British street names and direction posts, and even Government House itself (constructed in the reign of Queen Victoria) were removed or dismantled. In this holocaust of things British, departmental records were also destroyed. In parenthesis, it might be mentioned that this mania for destruction of records was even carried to the extent of one Japanese group handing over to another when, not only were all documents burned but even typewriters, desks and other office furniture enjoyed a like fate, so that the incoming group found bare rooms and empty file cabinets.\n\nThis feature is stressed to account for the relative sparsity of facts and figures in the following pages of this report.\n\nIn point of fact, following the demands of the writer made after the collapse of the Japanese resistance in Hong Kong, Mr. K. Rakuman of the Civil Administration handed over what he described as the complete available records of the Japanese Medical Department in Hong Kong for the period January, 1942–August, 1945, in a single small envelope, stating that all the remaining data had been destroyed. We think they were annihilated by the war's havoc! Despite the foregoing, it is satisfactory to be able to state that a number of medical and health records were hidden away in safety by underground workers in the British interests. Documents saved included about 80 per cent. of the registers of birth and deaths from 1871 to 1941, over 90 per cent. of the library of the Medical Department, the registers of medical practitioners and a certain number of current documents relating to births, deaths, infectious diseases, etc., occurring in the occupation period.\n\nB. Administration\n\nAt the surrender of Hong Kong to the Japanese invaders on the 25th December, 1941, the writer sought for, and obtained, permission from the Japanese Military Commander to continue to collect wounded, bury dead and attend to the medical and health needs of the community. Details relating to these activities are included in the appendix to this report.\n\nOn the 1st January, 1942, a Japanese Medical Department came into being (at least on paper) under Colonel T.

As stated, however, in Mr. Labouchere's letter to Dr. Yeh of 25th April, the case has been duly tried in a properly constituted court of law and on the evidence produced, the two Chinese have been found guilty by a jury of assault with intent to rob, shooting with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and possession of arms and ammunition without licence. In the circumstances, it is not within the ability or competence of the Embassy to express an opinion in the matter, particularly as they have no first-hand knowledge of the facts. They would nonetheless at least suggest that the exact place and circumstances of the affray would be material factors and that in any case, even if a plea of superior orders were sustainable, it would have to be proved that the act in question (and its time, place, and objective) was in direct response to specific orders. In this connection, it has already been stated that the Governor of Hong Kong sees no reason to doubt the soundness of the decision reached at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court on 22nd March. The Ministry will, moreover, have duly considered the letters addressed on behalf of the Hong Kong Colonial Secretary to the Secretary of the office of the Commissioner for Kwangtung and Kwangsi on 20th February and 13th March, which explain the reasons for which the Government of Hong Kong were not in a position to respond to the latter's request for the release of the two men concerned or for the handing over of the crew of the junk also involved in the incident.\n\nIn the communication of March 13th, it was stated in this latter connection that three fishermen suspected of being responsible for the shooting of the two dead companions of the two men concerned had been charged with manslaughter and with possession of arms without licences in the New Territories and therefore in the jurisdiction of Hong Kong.\n\nThe Embassy are at the same time able to assure the Ministry that the Hong Kong Government are fully prepared to meet the desires of the Chinese authorities with regard to the return of the weapons stated to be the property of the Kwantung Peace Preservation Corps and have already in fact given instructions for them to be handed over to Dr. I.N. Kwok for transmission to the interested authorities.\n\n**BRITISH EMBASSY,**\n\n**HANKOW,**\n\n14th May, 1947",

        "content_text": "## \n\n(3) \n\nreduced at the moment, a part at least of this project should I suggest be deferred until the inflationary situation in Hong Kong is less bad. \n\nFertiliser factory. This factory should, I think, be financed by loan and run as a commercial profit-making enterprise. \n\n(4) Extension of Irrigation. Irrigation engineers are extremely difficult to obtain and unless more funds can be put at the disposal of an Engineer in Hong Kong than is proposed, I doubt whether the appointment would be of sufficient value to justify it. \n\n(5) Village Depots. It is difficult to appreciate exactly what is proposed in the absence of more information about the Fisheries Syndicate. The scheme does, however, look like a subsidy of £27,000 to establish co-operative societies, and I suggest that the proper cost attributable to facilities placed at the disposal of such societies should be financed by loan and only that part devoted to the demonstration of improved agricultural methods financed by free grant. \n\n(6) Market Transport. I agree with Mr. Clay that if this is to be financed from public funds it should be on a profit-making basis. \n\n(7) Agricultural Stations. Further consideration of this should await the appointment of Senior Agricultural staff. \n\n(11) Mechanisation of Fishing Fleet. I cannot understand the financial implications of the proposal that a revolving capital grant should be made to the Fisheries Department in view of the statement that the junks in which the engines will be fitted will be the property of the Fisheries Co-operative. It appears that this service should be financed by loan to the Fisheries Co-operative.\n\nH.Alawi's \n\n31/12/47 \n\nPage 7\n\nThe territorial allocation to Hong Kong is £1,000,000. As Mr. Harding indicates in his minute, it is possible that the Treasury may wish to transfer items at present in the reconstruction programme to C.D. & W. These may amount to two million Hong Kong dollars or, approximately, £235,000. There is also bound to be expenditure for C.D. & W. monies on projects in the colony and it would be as well to allow another £250,000 for these. Taking the above considerations into account it would be reasonable to plan for grants from C.D. & W. of up to £500,000 in the New Territories. It is satisfactory to find that fishing and agriculture are being given a high priority in the post-war plans and that the proposals now submitted relate to developments for these industries. I, however, agree with Mr. Harding that certain of the projects should be considered as commercial and that they should, when possible, be financed by loan money. It would, however, not be wise to try to drive too hard a bargain where the projects are experimental in character and in such instances I am suggesting in the notes below that the finance required should be made available on the basis of 50% grant and 50% loan. This policy is suggested in order to get the schemes started and to give them a chance of proving during the first stages whether they can later on be continued on a purely commercial basis. It is a pity that Dr. Herklots will not be in Hong Kong to see these schemes started and it can only be hoped that a suitable successor to him will be found. \n\nMy comments on the various recommendations are given below as well as my proposals in connection with them:- \n\n## Recommendation (i). \nFeeder roads are clearly an essential to development but the estimates of costs are high. Allow £50,000 to be spread over the next two years and then review the position. \n\n## Recommendation (ii). \nPiers. Undoubtedly desirable but costs again appear to be high, viz, £8,000 per pier. Allow £50,000 to be spread over the next two years and then review the position. \n\n## Recommendation (iii). \nThe fertiliser factory should be run, as far as possible, on commercial lines. The project is, however, somewhat experimental and in these circumstances I would propose that it be financed on the basis of 50% grant and 50% loan. \n\n## Recommendation (iv). \nThis is certainly a desirable project but the estimates are far too low. An irrigation engineer, if he can be obtained at the age level contemplated will cost with passages, superannuation, etc. not less than £1,200-£1,500 per annum. His subordinate staff will involve an expenditure of an equal amount and for expenditure on works a sum equal to at least double the total cost of salaries should be allowed if technical skill is not to be wasted. For a five-year scheme an estimate of £45,000 should be the minimum budgeted for. \n\n## Recommendation (v) \nAs this is purely experimental I think it should be agreed that the first three depots should be financed by grant. If these are successful any subsequent developments should be financed only by loans. It might have been desirable that these depots should have followed the agricultural station but such delay would not be desirable and the risk must, I feel, be taken. \n\n## Recommendation (vi). \nThe vegetable marketing scheme should be run on commercial lines and the finance required for capital equipment should be by loan. \n\n## Recommendation ...",

        "content_text": "## 12\n\n(1) Hong Kong in (4) has asked for separate advance approval of the proposal for village depots recommendation No. 5 in Hong Kong despatch No. 244 of the 23rd October 1947 (3 on the 1947 file).\n\n(ii)\n\n4.\n\nA despatch - copy at (6) has come in which deals in large part in reply to Production B Department's despatch No. 107 of the 10th April (copy at 3) - with a proposal for the grant of £50,000 towards the mechanisation of the Hong Kong Fishing fleet recommendation No. 11 in Hong Kong despatch No. 244 of the 23rd October 1947.\n\nAs regards (i) please see paragraph 2 of my minute of 12/5 and Mr. Harding's minute of 18/5. I appreciate the force of Mr. Harding's remarks but at least one of the questions it is suggested should be put to Hong Kong would be difficult to answer viz. what revenue is expected to arise from the operations of the village depots. As I understand this proposal the village depots would not by themselves be revenue producing though, if and when they get going, they would play their part in the vegetable marketing scheme. The depots would have other functions, as points of contact between the Agricultural Department and the farmers, besides those connected with vegetable marketing. As Dr. Herklots is in this country it occurs to me that much of the information required by Mr. Harding might be obtained from him and we might with his assistance be able to put up this proposal for C. D. & W. assistance without further reference to Hong Kong. It would in my view be essential for a representative of Finance Department to be present at the discussion with Dr. Herklots.\n\n## 5\n\nAs regards (ii), our proposed comment on this recommendation in our general despatch is a reference to Production B Department's despatch of the 10th April. That despatch expressed doubts as to the wisdom of providing the money for the initial mechanisation of the fishing fleet from C.D. & W. funds and invited the Governor's further views in the light of these comments. The Governor has now sent his further views and reiterated and reinforced his original recommendation for a grant of £50,000 from C.D. & W. funds.\n\nOur proposed comment is therefore out of date and a definite decision has now to be taken as to whether we should support the Governor's recommendation or not.\n\n## No.9\n\nThis particular project has rather got itself on to Production B papers. There is no difficulty about the 3 other specifically \"Fishery\" recommendations viz. Nos. 9, 10 and 12. (improvement of landing facilities at Kennedy Town) and No. 10 (reclamation at Aberdeen) have already been approved and as regards No. 12 the Treasury have agreed that in our proposed despatch we should accept this recommendation (for a pond fisheries survey) in principle and agree to the incurrence of expenditure.",
