Martin,\n\nHer Majesty's Treasurer, China.\n\n(9.)\n\nREPORT on the TEA TRADE, transmitted to Her Majesty's Government from China, in July 1845.By R. M. Martin.\n\nTHE traffic in an innutritious herb, grown almost solely in one district of Asia, and in a country hitherto isolated from the western nations, is one of the most remarkable illustrations of the enterprise and energy of modern commerce. A trade involving British capital to the extent of about 10,000,000l. sterling, furnishing regular employment to about 60,000 tons of first-class English-built shipping, contributing nearly 5,000,000l. sterling of annual revenue to the Exchequer, and influencing materially the morals and sobriety of the nation, deserves investigation in detail, as regards its rise, progress, and present condition.\n\nThe tea plant, although found in different parts of the eastern hemisphere, is probably indigenous to China, or Japan, where it is extensively cultivated. The earliest record to be found of the use of tea is in the records of the Moorish historians and travellers in the end of the eighth century, at which period the Mahommedans had free ingress and residence in China, subject to very few restrictions.\n\nIbn Batuta mentions that the emperor received the revenues from salt; that paper money, bearing the government stamp, was current in the country; and that the general drink of the people was prepared by immersing the leaves of a small plant in hot water, which was used medicinally as well as for correcting the bad properties of the water.\n\nSoliman, an Arabian merchant, who visited China, A. D. 850, describes \"sah\" (tea), as the usual beverage of the people.\n\nTexeira, a Spaniard, in 1600, saw dried leaves (of tea) at Malacca, which were in use among the Chinese. Olearius, in 1633, found the use of tea pretty general among the Persians, who procured it from China by means of the Usbeck Tartars. The Russian ambassador (Stawkaw) to the court of the Mogul Chau Shau Attyn, partook of tea, and at his departure he was offered it for the Czar Michael Romanoff, which he refused, not knowing of what use it would be in Russia.\n\nOf the first introduction of tea into Europe we know but little. In 1517, Emmanuel, King of Portugal, sent a fleet of eight ships to China, and an ambassador to Pekin, who obtained permission to open a trade; but it was not until after the formation of the Dutch East India Company in 1602, that the use of tea became known on the continent, and although the enterprising Hollanders paid considerable attention to it, as an article of commerce, the consumption increased but little, for in 1670 it was unknown in Dort.\n\n[ 5 ]\n\nThe Dutch, in their second voyage to China, bought a good deal of tea, at from 8d. to 10d. per pound (the price at the present day), which, although of a middling quality, sold in Paris for 30 livres a pound; and for some years the best Japanese tea, esteemed as much better than that of China, brought from 100 to 200 livres per pound in France, until the use of coffee and chocolate became fashionable and general.\n\nThe first authentic notice to be found of tea in England, is in an Act of Parliament (12 Car. II, c. 23) A. D. 1660, by which a duty of 8d. per gallon was laid on all tea made and sold in coffee-houses; and by an Act framed in the same year the duties of excise on malt liquor, cyder, perry, meal, spirits, or strong waters, coffee, tea, sherbet, and chocolate were settled on the king for life. In the diary of Mr. Pepys, secretary of the Admiralty, there is found under date 25th September 1661, the following memorandum relative to tea \"I sent for a cup of tea, a Chinese drink, of which I had never drank before.\"\n\nIn 1662, Charles the Second married the Princess Catherine of Portugal, who it is said was fond of tea, having been accustomed to it in her own country, hence it became fashionable in England. Waller, in a birth-day ode on her Majesty, ascribes the introduction of the herb to the queen in the following lines:\n\n\"The best of queens and best of herbes we owe\n\ndid show\n\nTo that bold nation who the\n\nway\n\nTo the fair region where the sun doth rise, Whose rich productions we so justly prize.\"\n\nThe same poet attributes an inspiring power to the Chinese leaf:\n\n\"The muses' friend, tea, does our fancy aid,\n\nRepress those vapours which the head invade.\"\n\nIn 1660 tea was sold in England at three guineas per pound. The following copy of an advertisement in 1680, shows the price of the leaf, and the mode of vending it to the public:\n\n\"These are to give notice to persons of quality, that a small parcel of most excellent tea is by accident fallen into the hands of a private person to be sold; but that none may be disappointed, the lowest price is thirty shillings a pound, and not any to be sold under a pound weight, for which they are desired to bring a convenient box. Enquire at Mr. Thomas Eagle's, at the King's Head, in St. James's Market.”—London Gazette, 16 December 1680.\n\nIn 1666 Lords Arlington and Ossory brought a quantity of tea from Holland; its price in England then was 60s. per pound. About this period, the East India Company being desirous of presenting a rarity to his Majesty, procured 22 lbs. of tea, which was thought a valuable offering to royalty.\n\nHeretofore the small quantity used in England was obtained from the Continent; for in 1634, some English ships having visited Canton, a rupture took place between our seamen and the Chinese, and trade was for some time interdicted; but in 1668 the Court of Directors, in the despatch to their factories at Bantam in Java, ordered them to send home by their ships 100 lbs, weight of the best tea they could get. And accordingly, in 1669, the East India Company's first invoice of tea was received, amounting to two canisters of 143 lbs. Such was the commencement of a trade which, by the most judicious management, has now risen to an importation of upwards of 50,000,000 lbs. weight. That a careful proportioning of the supply to the demand was absolutely necessary, will be evident from the following fact, which at this early period operated as a warning to the Company, and has since proved highly beneficial to the commerce. In 1678 the East India Company imported 4,713 lbs. of tea; but this then large quantity completely glutted the market, for the imports of tea during the ensuing six years amounted in all to only 318 lbs. In 1680 the Company opened a direct trade with China.\n\nIn 1689 the old mode of levying the duty on tea, viz. by the quantity made in the coffee-houses, being found very uncertain as well as vexatious, an Act of 1 Gul. & Mar., sess. 2, c. 6, fixed a custom duty of 5s. a pound, together with the former sum of five per cent. on the value.\n\nFor some time the consumption of tea slowly increased in England, in consequence of the high rate of duty, which was sometimes as high as 200 per cent. on the sale price.\n\nA considerable degree of smuggling arose, which was only put down by lowering the taxation. During the years 1697, 1698, and 1699, the East India Company imported on an average 20,000 lbs. of tea annually. In 1700 the importation was augmented to 60,000 lbs. a year, the average price of tea being 16s. per pound. In 1721 the importation of tea into England exceeded for the first time 1,000,000 lbs.; and at the September sale in 1728, the quantity put up for sale was 769,104 lbs., the duty on which amounted to 153,820l. sterling.\n\nThe bill of cargo of the Cæsar, which arrived from China 17th May 1726, has entered in it 358,000 lbs. of tea, the duty on which was 71,620l. sterling. Since the commencement of the present century the annual consumption of tea in the United Kingdom has increased by upwards of 20,000,000 of pounds, while its use during the same period has been decreasing in Europe and America. In the space of 100 years, from 1710 to 1810, there were sold at the East India Company's sales 750,219,016 lbs. of tea, the value of which was 129,804,595l. sterling. Of this quantity of tea 116,470,675 lbs. were re-exported. Since the commencement of the present century, 1,385,949,566 lbs. of tea have been sold in England,",

Formerly the taste in this particular was improving and extending; and at one time tea found its best market in France. The decline will be best seen by the following statement:-\n\nEXPORTATION of TEA by the French, from Canton, from 1782 to 1807.\n\n  \n    YEARS.\n    QUANTITY.\n    YEARS.\n    Lbs.\n  \n  \n    1782\n    \n    1795\n    \n  \n  \n    1783\n    4,231,200\n    1796\n    \n  \n  \n    1784\n    4,960,000\n    1797\n    \n  \n  \n    1785\n    466,600\n    1798\n    \n  \n  \n    1786\n    382,260\n    1799\n    \n  \n  \n    1787\n    1,728,900\n    1800\n    \n  \n  \n    1788\n    292,100\n    1801\n    \n  \n  \n    1789\n    294,300\n    1802\n    \n  \n  \n    1790\n    442,100\n    1803\n    \n  \n  \n    1791\n    784,000\n    1804\n    \n  \n  \n    1792\n    1,540,670\n    1805\n    \n  \n  \n    1793\n    \n    1806\n    \n  \n  \n    1794\n    \n    1807\n    \n  \n  \n    TOTAL\n    \n    TOTAL\n    Lbs.\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    Exports, first period\n    15,122,130\n  \n\n[61]\n\nRUSSIAN IMPORTATION OF TEA.\n\n  \n    YEARS.\n    QUANTITY.\n    VALUE.\n  \n  \n    \n    Poods.\n    Roubles.\n  \n  \n    From 1824\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1825\n    154,197\n    6,260,429\n  \n  \n    1826\n    133,514\n    4,807,049\n  \n  \n    1827\n    130,562\n    5,675,992\n  \n  \n    \n    161,958\n    6,719,166\n  \n  \n    Total Poods\n    580,231\n    \n  \n  \n    Lbs.\n    \n    23,462,636\n  \n  \n    Of which exported during four years\n    3,843\n    7,75,730\n  \n  \n    Thus leaving Poods\n    576,388\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    22,686,906\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    353,333\n    Lbs.\n  \n  \n    Lbs.\n    15,122,130\n    \n  \n  \n    Ditto last period\n    353,333\n    \n  \n  \n    Decrease\n    14,708,797\n    \n  \n\nAt a later period we do not find that peace, and the increasing prosperity of the people, induced them to drink tea extensively, although the duties on importation scarcely differed on a foreign or native ship, viz. about 2d. per pound. In the following years the importation was almost stationary, although a large portion was for re-exportation:-\n\n  \n    TEA IMPORTED INTO FRANCE:\n    Kilogrammes *.\n  \n  \n    In 1820\n    83,366\n  \n  \n    1821\n    79,144\n  \n  \n    1822\n    83,597\n  \n  \n    1823\n    70,057\n  \n  \n    \n    89,030\n  \n\nOn an average 144,097 poods, of the value of 5,671,726 roubles; or in English weight and money, 5,187,496 lbs.; value 248,346l.\n\nThe trade of Russia with China through Kiachta will be found under its proper head in the section of foreign commerce.\n\nThe average annual consumption of Chinese tea in different countries, as nearly as can be ascertained, is now thus :-\n\n  \n    \n    Lbs.\n  \n  \n    Great Britain and Ireland\n    45,000,000\n  \n  \n    British North America and West Indies\n    2,500,000\n  \n  \n    Australasia, Cape of Good Hope, &c.\n    2,500,000\n  \n  \n    British India, &c.\n    2,000,000\n  \n  \n    Total in the British Empire\n    Lbs. 52,000,000\n  \n  \n    United States of North America\n    7,000,000\n  \n  \n    Russia\n    10,000,000\n  \n  \n    France and Colonies-\n    500,000\n  \n  \n    Hanse Towns, &c.\n    150,000\n  \n  \n    Holland and its Colonies\n    1,000,000\n  \n  \n    Belgium\n    200,000\n  \n  \n    Denmark, Sweden, and Norway\n    250,000\n  \n  \n    The German States\n    500,000\n  \n  \n    Spain and Portugal\n    100,000\n  \n  \n    Italian States\n    50,000\n  \n  \n    South American States\n    500,000\n  \n  \n    Eastern Islands, &c.\n    250,000\n  \n  \n    \n    1824 - 1844\n  \n\n[For the present trade of France with China, see Section China, in published Report.]\n\nof Foreign Commerce with\n\nThe consul at Bremen states that the consumption of tea is inconsiderable, occupying a small portion of ship room.\n\nAt Lubeck \"there is no wholesale trade in tea, and but a very irregular one in the retail line.\"-(Consul's Report.)\n\nThe commerce of Russia with China, as I observed previously, is involved in obscurity. Sir Daniel Bayley, the consul-general at St. Petersburgh, in his despatch to government, 18th December 1828, says,\n\n\"From the most authentic sources of information I have had access to, it appears that the importation of tea into the Russian Empire has been as follows:\"-\n\n* A kilogramme is 15,434 grains avoirdupois.\n\nRUSSIAN\n\nTotal consumption in foreign countries Lbs. 20,250,000\n\nThus the English consume twice the quantity of tea that is consumed by all the other countries in the world, excepting China and Japan.\n\nIt may be useful to compare the price of tea in England with its price at different places on the continents of Europe and America. The accompanying Table is prepared chiefly from the consular returns called for by his Majesty's Government at the termination of the East India Company's charter in 1832. It should be remarked, however, that unless the qualities of the teas quoted were known, the price is a fallacious criterion. In some of the consular returns a lower price is quoted for Souchong and other teas than the most worthless rubbish of Bohea or Congou would cost at Canton. (See Table, pp. 62, 63.)\n\nIt will be seen, on referring generally to the Canton Price Currents, that the cost price of tea has increased in Canton since the abolition of the East India Company. The annexed comparison for January 1832 and December 1844, is an illustration of the remark. The prices in both these years were higher than ordinary, especially in 1844, and not until February and March 1845 did prices fall sufficiently to allow of a profitable exportation.\n\nQ\n\n431\n\nAppendix.\n\nReport on the Tea Trade.",

The duty on black tea, from 1s. 9d. to 18. 11d, per lb., and on green from 18. 5d. to 1s. 6d. is included. I have taken the descending scale of prices.\n\nNew York.-Exclusive of the duty, New York Price Current, January 1832. The Souchong, so called, is mere Congo. Portions of some cargoes unsaleable, by reason of their being “several years imported.\"\n\nNew Orleans.-Exclusive of the duty.

The duty on tea is 1 per cent. ad valorem.\n\nHolland. These are the high and low Amsterdam and Rotterdam prices for May 1832, by the 100 chests or cargo; the duty is only seven florins per 100 kilogrammes for Bohea, and 12 florins per 100 kilogrammes for all other descriptions.\n\nBremen.-Bremen, 1st May 1832.\n\nFurnished me from Messrs.

Duty for consumption, 3d. per lb. Consular Return.\n\nFrankfort. The government duty is only 10d. per cwt. I have given a descending scale of prices from the Consular Returns to Parliament.\n\nDenmark-Duty two per cent. ad valorem. These prices were given when there was 10 years' stock in hand. The Consul remarks, that \"other teas are proportionally higher.\"\n\nRoman States-Duty per lb. 11 d., of which one-third is allowed as a drawback on exporting articles in lieu of tea, the produce of the States. Consular Returns.\n\nLubeck.-Duty one-half per cent, ad valorem. Consular Returns.\n\nAt Trieste there is no duty, and at Leghorn it is nominal. The teas, although denominated Souchong and Hyson, are in reality inferior Congous and Ilyson Skin, which may be bought for 9 d. a lb. at Canton. The Consul reports, that 3,000 lbs. left by an American vessel, \"some years ago,\" still remains unsold, and it would be sold at 30 per cent. reduction if buyers could be found for it. Just so it is at Hamburgh and other places, where nominal prices are quoted, but where it would be difficult to find buyers at even half the price named. At Sicily, although the price is 4 s. to 68., the Consul says the tea is \"of a very inferior quality.\" The duty is 1 s. per lb. at Sicily, and 8d. per lb. at Naples.\n\nCanton. Prime cost at Canton of the teas exported to England by the East India Company, 1830-31.",

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion. We don't of course agree with the remarks of our contemporary but we entirely agree with the letter which we publish. Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests.

        "content_text": "14 \n\nof Residents who, if not individually wealthy, are wealthy as classes or interests, and who ought to contribute to these local requirements. \n\nYour Memorialists in conclusion beg to express their conviction that though this is a Crown Colony, and they can be taxed by an Order in Council, or an express Order from the Government to the Governor here to levy a tax, or raise a subsidy, yet when, in compliance with the Standing Orders of the Legislative Council, and the whole previous course of practice here, the Council, as such, are asked to pass, or reject, a measure involving the mere mode of raising the requisite sums, Your Memorialists are then entitled to have their ideas on that subject received through the recognized medium, the Non-Official Members of the Council, and as their remonstrances were of no avail, they conceive themselves further entitled to bring before the Government the strong opinions they entertain on the matter, and firmly, though respectfully, to urge Your Excellency to a reconsideration of what is, at best, a mere question of expediency, affecting their interests only, and upon which they ought to be considered, if not the best judges, at least as the best exponents of the balance of benefit or prejudice that may result from the measure. \n\nYour Memorialists therefore humbly beg Your Excellency to reconsider the question, to defer such portion of the Expenditure as is not of immediate or vital import to the Colony to a more auspicious period; to raise any Sums that may be presently needed by some other, and less hurtful method, and to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of any Stamp Tax or at least until all other available and usual sources of taxation have been exhausted. \n\nAnd Your Memorialists will ever pray: \n\n15 \n\nProposed by G. F. MACLEAN, Esq., seconded by E. H. POLLARD, Esq. That although this Meeting recognizes the fact that the Estimates for the year 1867 are already passed, they think that His Excellency the Governor should be requested to defer the actual expenditure of the following items, viz.:---- \n\n  \n    New Road,\n    $23,000\n  \n  \n    Road at Kowloon,\n    $4,000\n  \n  \n    Sanitarium\n    $11,000\n  \n\nvoted on the Estimates, until the results of the next year's working of the Mint be seen, on the grounds that although this outlay might be desirable for a Colony with a surplus in hand, the works are not of such importance as to necessitate their completion when a new tax has to be imposed to carry them out. \n\nProposed by A. SASSOON, Esq., seconded by G. HELLAND, Esq. That a Memorial embodying the wishes of the Community and conveying to His Excellency the Governor their requests, based upon the sentiments expressed at this Meeting be drawn up and presented to His Excellency, and that the following gentlemen be requested to act in drawing up the same and getting it signed, and also to be a deputation of the Community to present it--Messrs. McDOUALL, MACLEAN, DALZIEL, KAISER, J. S. LAPRAIK, PARRY, SASSOON, W. H. FORBES, NISSEN, KAYE, D. R. CRAWFORD, CONIL, A. F. HEARD, BOSMAN, J. B. ENDICOTT, B. PALANJEE and P. RYRIE. \n\nRESOLUTIONS CARRIED AT A PUBLIC MEETING \n\nHELD AT HONGKONG \n\nON THE 28TH AUGUST, 1866. \n\nProposed by J. McDOUALL, Esq., seconded by F. PARRY, Esq. That in the opinion of the Meeting the Stamp Ordinance which has recently passed its second reading before the Legislative Council, is a measure fraught with serious and grave consequences to the wellbeing and prosperity of this Community; that by the enormous burdens it will cast upon trade, it will certainly tend to the prejudice of all existing interests in the Colony, and that the only thing which would justify its imposition, viz.-Imperious Necessity-does not exist. \n\nProposed by A. F. HEARD, Esq., seconded by W. KAYE, Esq. That in the opinion of the Meeting even accepting the expenditure of the Colony for the year 1867 at the sum appearing in the debit side of the Estimates, there is no absolute necessity for any new mode of taxation; and that the sums necessary to be spent in the year 1867 can be raised by modifications of the existing taxes and rates in a manner calculated to be less prejudicial to the Colony than by putting into force this new act so repugnant to the feelings of the Community. \n\nPROTEST OF THE NON-OFFICIAL MEMBERS OF \n\nTHE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. \n\nUnder the privilege accorded to us by Rule 15 of the General Rules for the Legislative Council of Hongkong, We beg to protest against the Stamp Ordinance being passed, or promulgated, on the following grounds: \n\n1st. That the expenditure proposed in the Estimates for 1867 would be covered by the existing Revenue, were it not for the absorption of so large a portion of it by the Military Contribution; and as the latter amount has to be voted yearly, it is clearly open to consideration at each recurring period. This Contribution was originally exacted against the recommendation of the then Governor, the Protest of the Majority of the Legislative Council, and the unanimous remonstrance of the whole Community; and the two principal reasons for such a demand upon the Colony, were: 1stly., an apparent surplus Revenue which in fact never existed, and 2ndly., an expected profit from the Mint which expectation was equally groundless. Since the first exaction of this sum by the Imperial Government, the Military Establishment has been largely reduced in its staff, its materiel, and its numerical strength, and the Gun-boat borne upon the Estimates for 1867 is as much as the Colony can be expected to pay for in the face of the admitted fact of the sum of $866,270 (exclusive of Stamp Act) being insufficient to pay for what Government consider necessary expenditures in a Colony of the size and position of Hongkong. These are new reasons not previously urged against the exaction of this sum, but in our opinion when added to those formerly advanced, are unanswerable. \n\n54",

        "content_text": "9. That the statements contained in the said Judgment that the Chief Justice was \"driven\" to adjourn the case so far indefinitely and that the Chief Justice said he \"could not hear it, I being Counsel, till I should have apologised\" are utterly and entirely false and that the true account of this portion of the matter is set forth accurately in the twelfth paragraph of my Petition.\n\n10. I utterly deny and flatly contradict all that part of the said Judgment which relates to what is therein called my \"sixth contempt,\" and also the statement that \"I sat down and continued to address\" the Judge.\n\n11. I studiously, on Saturday, the 29th day of June, preserved a deferential and respectful demeanour as I was anxious to avoid a continuance or repetition of the unseemly scene in Court which happened on the previous Thursday.\n\n12. The manner and conduct of the Chief Justice, and his treatment of me on Tuesday, the Second day of July, was most insulting, and calculated to humiliate and degrade not only myself, but the profession, in the eyes and opinions of this community, and, I sincerely believe, was and is without parallel in the Courts of any civilized country.\n\nSworn at Victoria, Hongkong, this\n\nsixteenth\n\nday of July, A.D. 1867.\n\nBefore me\n\nEdward Holland\n\nMan\n\nFifor Hongkong\n\nThis is the Exhibit B referred to in the annexed affidavit of S. St. Follard sworn before\n\nthis day.\n\nBooking Ch\n\nJuly 1867\n\nMaye\n\n403\n\nMr. POLLARD, After several delays, it now becomes my painful duty to deliver the decision of\n\nthis Court on your conduct on Thursday, the 27th of June last. These delays have been interposed in order to give you time to reflect calmly on your conduct, and, by submission and apology, to render the exercise of the indisputable authority of this Court to punish for contempts towards it, unnecessary. In expressing what appears to be my duty on the present occasion, I shall in substance adopt the language of the Chief Justice LORD TENTERDEN, of Mr. Justice BAILEY, of Mr. Justice HOLROYD, of the Chief Justice LORD WINFORD in 1821, preferring to use language frequently since repeated, always with approbation, to any less forcible words of my own selection. Their language is in the case of an insult to himself, it is not on his own account that he commits or imposes a fine, for that is a consideration which should never enter his mind. But, though he may despise the insult, it is a duty which he owes to the station to which he belongs, not to suffer those things to pass which will make him despicable in the eyes of others. No man, who pretends to any knowledge of the law, can doubt that a Judge of a Court of record has authority to fine or imprison for any contempt committed in the face of the Court. From the earliest period of our history, this authority has been exercised. Every man who comes into a Court of Justice, either as a party or Barrister, must know that decency is to be observed there, that respect is to be paid to the Judge. Of the power of a Judge to fine for contempt I have not the least doubt. When a case is conducted by Counsel they know perfectly well what the rules of law are, and they have that regard for their own character which generally prevents them from doing anything which may break in upon the rules of decency and decorum. Chief Justice ABBOTT says:-\" If I thought that the decision I am about to pronounce, could have the effect of restraining any Barrister from exercising a bold as well as a legitimate course of advocacy, I would 'pause, even longer than I have done, before I pronounced that decision. The question, indeed, is a 'momentous one, It is absolutely a question whether the law of the land shall or shall not continue to be properly administered. For it is utterly impossible that the law can be so administered, if those who are charged with the duty of administering it have not power to prevent instances of indecorum from occurring in their presence. That power has been vested in the Judges, not for their personal protection, but for that of the public. And a Judge will depart from his bounden duty, if he forbears to use it when occasions arise which call for its exercise.” I have now quoted enough to show that this Court has the power of punishment, by fine or imprisonment, and in the case of a Barrister, as the learned Queen's Counsel has drawn a distinction between an Attorney and a Barrister, I would refer him to these cases. Of the power of a Judge to fine for a contempt of Court, I have not the least doubt. The duty to punish contempts of Court and the right of the Court to fine and imprison the offender, and, on the rare case of his being a Barrister, to suspend him from practice, being proved by abundant cases, it is my duty merely to decide that you were guilty of a contempt of this Court on Thursday, the 27th of June last. It is thought to be a rare case to suspend a Barrister from practice, but as I have said, there are many such cases. I can refer you to a case in which then and there for contempt of Court, a Barrister had his gown by order of the Court pulled off his back. It is more satisfactory, however, that I should go into a detail, as well as I can, and so far as I deem necessary, the circumstances as they occurred. In the case, then, of OLVIHANT and Others v. Loo-A-HING, you opened the case for the Plaintiffs as a breach of warranty to ship Sugar to Shanghai of a specified quality. Your first Chinese witness, the Comprador of the Plaintiffs, proved the signature by the Defendant to a contract in English, and that he had translated the document to the Defendant. In the course of that examination you persistently, though more than once stopped by me, put leading questions to the Comprador. And I felt that under his master's eye, that master sitting close to you, and with your peremptory leading questions, one sort of answers only could be expected from him. I at length again objected to your persisting in putting such leading questions, saying to you, \"Why he is your own witness.\" Your answer to me was internally insisting that you had been right, \"The Interpreter is not.\" This answer offended propriety. It inferred an imputation on the Interpreter, who has been a zealous and honest Interpreter for some Seven years, and it ignored the rule being, as it always has been, imperative as to a Chinese as well as to an English witness. Your answer was pointed and curt, and was apparently made to raise, and only to raise, a laugh against me. This was your first contempt of Court, on which I said nothing then. The case proceeded. Mr. WHYTE asked the Comprador of your clients in cross-examination questions to show that he had examined the Sugar as they were packed by direction of the",

The cost per picul of raw silk is calculated in these tables at 200 to 800 taels, and of waste at 5 to 64 taels.\n\nMuch is said in our papers about the losses involved by the Insurance societies during the last year, so that most of them are not able to pay a dividend, whilst some have lost a good part of their capital. It is of too much interest that I should not reproduce what is said about it in a small local paper, because it is worthy to be known generally that during the last year the \"Javasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund and 50,000f. of its capital; the \"Bataviasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost 50,000f. of its capital of 180,000f; the \"Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund; the \"Tweede Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" (established last year) lost 61,000f.; and the \"Oosterling\" (established last year) 30,760f. of its capital. The very unsatisfactory result of the companies who are represented here is due to the fact that they accept too great risks and insure too large sums upon the several ships.\n\nWe notice that the \"Teping\" was the first of the tea clippers to pass Anjer. She left Foochow on the 3rd June, and passed Anjer on the 21st. The \"Maitland\" sailed two days after her, and the \"Serica\" passed Anjer on the 27th, four days after the \"Maitland\".\n\n### THE CIVIL SERVICE.-Foreign-office\n\nMr. H. B. Bristow has been appointed student interpreter in China or Japan. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint William Graham Sandford, Esq., now a Third Secretary, to be a Second Secretary in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service.\n\n### Parliamentary Intelligence\n\n#### HOUSE OF LORDS\n\n##### POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS\n\n(Aug. 9th.) The Duke of MONTROSE: I beg to lay upon the table a postal convention between this country and the United States, under which the postage between the two countries would be reduced from one shilling to sixpence. We hope that, in addition to this reduction, we shall have a more frequent communication with America; and I have little doubt that in a short time we shall arrive at what, perhaps, we never could have expected—a daily communication with the United States. By means of this convention, we shall also be able to reduce very considerably the postage to Canada. The letters to Canada passing through the United States will be reduced from one shilling to eightpence. We shall also have an opportunity of facilitating the communication with the new colony of British Columbia. We shall be enabled to send letters there in a much shorter time than by the present route by the Isthmus of Panama, and at a very much reduced cost.\n\nI think your lordships will consider that these arrangements will be satisfactory to the country at large. I must say that the United States Government have acted with the greatest cordiality and with the greatest anxiety to facilitate all these communications. (Hear.) I am anxious to take this opportunity of making some remarks on the subject of our postal arrangements with India and China. After long consideration of the subject, a committee of your lordships' House recommended the Government to give notice for the termination of the existing contracts for the purpose of having fresh tenders and a more frequent communication with India. It was proposed that we should have a weekly mail to Bombay, and that a mail should proceed by railway from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras.\n\nWe have followed out the recommendations of the committee. We have given notice to terminate the existing contracts, and advertised for tenders for future contracts to run mails from Marseilles to Alexandria, and from Alexandria to Bombay, China, and Australia. But a very curious idea has got into the public mind on the subject, and it has been alluded to in the other House of Parliament, and in many of the newspapers—namely, that in following out the recommendations of the committee, we intended to give up the control of the postal communication with India, and to throw it entirely into the hands of foreign Governments. This is most entirely and gratuitously a mistake. Such an idea never entered into my mind, or into that of any other member of the Government; and the only ground for it could be that in giving notice for tenders, we did not put into them that we would not contract with any foreign Government.\n\nFrom that, people have taken the idea that we were to contract with the Messageries Imperiales and give up the control of the communication by our own vessels. In the committee of the House of Commons, it was suggested that we should avail ourselves of the Messageries Imperiales in several cases, and even that we should throw it into their hands if they offered a cheaper service than our own countrymen. That is wrong, but I do not say that we shall not under some circumstances avail ourselves of that company, and at present, we send some letters on their way to China by their boats. But these are only supplementary arrangements associated with the boats under our own control. To throw everything into the hands of any foreign country would be extremely impolitic, even though in the first instance, it might enable us to perform the service cheaper.\n\n**COMMERCIAL**\n\n### COFFEE\n\nThe market remains in a very good position, because there was more demand for consumption. For Malang coffee of the last sale of the Dutch Trading Company, somewhat higher prices were paid; the quality was very inferior. Of private imports, white, yellow, and brown sorts are very scarce.\n\n| Type | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ordinary to good ordinary greenish, some brownish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n| Good ordinary greenish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n\nImported were 8,144 piculs Java, ex Triton; 1,034 piculs, per Eva Johanna; and 2,612 piculs, ex Landbouw.\n\n### SUGAR (RAW)\n\nThe 38,924 baskets Java which were sold by the Dutch Trading Company on the 24th ultimo realised full May prices for brown and yellow sorts, and f. to under them for white quality. For the result of the sale, a very good impression was made upon the demand, which has been very firm since. Of private imports, 8,500 baskets were sold before and after the sale, of which 3,500 per Eva Johanna at full July prices to f. higher.\n\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2,221 baskets Java, ex Triton | 293f.

The assertion may more or less be true, but I cannot warrant it. The same paper also told that the Minister of the War Department has the intention to augment the militia with 25,000 soldiers, so that the budget of war will be brought from 13 to 20 millions.\n\n#### TEA\n\nThe market is unaltered; the quotation is for China Congou, Sloe., 175c.; and for Java do., 65c. to 75c., according to the quality.\n\n#### RICE\n\nThe market is very firm; of uncleaned, 1,896 b.

Mace, 10 b. Cloves, and 24 b. Cinnamon.\n\n#### TOBACCO\n\nOf Java, the following imports took place: per Surat, 240 ...\n\n#### INDIGO\n\nFor Java, there was much demand, some lots good to fine were sold at higher prices; ordinary quality sells very difficult.\n\n#### COTTON\n\nWith some demand for export; 300 b. were sold at 45c. for middling fair, Dhollerah at 46c. to 47c. for fair, and 49c. for good fair.\n\n#### MANUFACTURES\n\nThe market is unaltered, and the quotation is for 6) Madapollans and Calicoes 5f. to £5.10 each; No 28 Warps, 14jd.; No 14, 13d.; No. 80, Cops, 13l.; No. 16 do., 12d.\n\n#### TIN\n\nFor Banca, the market is quiet; the quotation is 53f. to 52½f; Billiton is quoted 52½f. 100 slabs were sold at 58¼f; and 800 slabs at 58¾f.\n\n#### RATTANS\n\n153,460 b. at auction by the Dutch Trading Company, on the 1st inst., were sold as follows:\n\n| Type | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Banjermassing | f.5. to f.8.60 |\n| Padang | 6. to 12.70 |\n| Koetie | +4 to 7.20 |\n\n#### MISCELLANEOUS\n\nOf Preserved Ginger, 350 chests China will be offered for sale; the valuation is from 85c. to 90c.

Bitter, Managing Director of the Hamburg Marine Assurance Company of 1866. Vice-President; A. Beel, Managing Director of the Marine Assurance Company of 1859 at Lubeck; F. Harkort, formerly Captain in the Army, Knight of the Iron Cross of Bravery, Hornbrack, near Dortmund; Franz Paetow, Shipowner, Rostock; Fr. Schuler, Shipbuilder, Stettin; and R. Werner, Captain in the Prussian Royal Navy, and Director of the Royal Dockyard at Danzig.\n\nThe report of the Electric and International Telegraph Company, presented on the 7th inst., shows an available balance of £68,995, and recommends a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year, or at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.\n\n### COMMERCIAL\n\nOn the whole, the produce markets have been quiet since last mail, and there is but little to report. Rice firm. Cassia Lignea continues in good demand, at 11 sch. beo. Pepper is more in request, and among the transactions were 1,500 bags of Singapore, at 3 5-16ths sch. bco. The holders of Spelter will not listen to lower offers, and steadily adhere to their demands of 133 marks banco, both for delivery and in loco.\n\n### SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n#### ARRIVED\n\n* Grossvater, from Java\n\n#### LOADING\n\n* Padel, for Singapore and Penang\n* Isabelita, for Manila\n* Aldebaran and Energie, for Hong Kong\n* Saturnus, for Shanghai\n* Christine, for Nagasaki and Yokohama\n\n### BANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES\n\n| Company | Paid | Price Aug. 9 | Price Aug. 11 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Agra Bank, A shares | All | 26 to 28 | - |\n| Do.

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### ARTICLES OF IMPORT\n\n#### TEA\nThe public sale of last week was larger than any that have been held for many months past, and consisted principally of a good selection of Congous and Scented Teas. The prices obtained for Congous were very irregular, owing to the hesitation of buyers; but, on the whole, they showed a decline on those given at the last sale. There is no alteration of importance in the value of Scented Teas, with the exception of the lower grades of Scented Orange Pekoes, which are rather lower, and all descriptions of Green Tea realised full prices. Some dust sold at the sale at 4d. to 6d., but it was offered \"with all faults.\" Some interest was taken in a few parcels of Japan Greens, of Rifleman, which has just arrived, and a few transactions in them have taken place, and the remainder of this cargo will no doubt be readily disposed of, as there is a good demand for all descriptions of Green Teas. The market price of Common Congou is 11d. per lb. Sound Broken Leaf can be bought at 6½d. per lb., and Tea Dust at about 5½d. per lb.\n\n#### SILK\nSince our last report the Silk market has experienced little or no change, no one buying beyond present requirements. The absence of demand, both at home and abroad, has been almost unprecedented, and prices are mostly nominal. The arrival this week of some of the early shipments of the new China crop has created a slight diversion, about 400 bales finding buyers; the opening price of Tsatlee being 26s. to 30s. In Canton Silk there has been some little business doing at rather easier rates, but the assortment is by no means generally desirable. Japan Silk is quite neglected. The total deliveries show a slight improvement, being 407 bales China, and 234 bales Japan. We can as yet discern no general improvement in the Silk market; the first unloading of new Chinas has naturally attracted some attention, and led to some little business, but there is no disposition on the part of the trade to buy more Silk than is absolutely necessary, and speculation seems out of the question. The opening price for classic No. 3 Tsatlee, 29s., is higher than some people expected, but appears moderate as compared with the quotations we have for some time past been accustomed to. There is a wide margin between chop Silk and medium and inferior descriptions, red Peacock having been sold at 26s. 6d., and good No. 4 at 26s. The estimate of export for the season has been reduced by recent telegrams from China to 40,000 bales, and if the reported failure of the second crop prove true, it is possible that even this figure may not be reached. In Japan Silk there is nothing doing, the best descriptions of Mibash are firmly held, but ordinary and inferior qualities are pressed for sale.\n\n| Description | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Taatlee, No. 1 & 2 | 26 0 to 30 0 |\n| No. 3 | 24 0 to 27 0 |\n| Tsenfa and Hainio, No. 1 & 2 | 20 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 18 0 to 20 0 |\n| Tarsaam, No. 1 & 2 | 18 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 14 0 to 20 0 |\n| Long Reel Skeins | ... |\n| Canton | ... |\n| Japan: Tsinchew & Sinchew, No. 1 & 2 | 17 0 to 23 0 |\n| Ida, Bricks, No. 1 & ... | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 27 0 to 30 0 |\n| Soudni, No. 1 & 2 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n\n#### COTTON\nThe market since our last report has remained extremely quiet, the business having been to some extent restricted by the firmness of holders. The only sale of China reported is of 30 bales fair quality at 6¼d. per lb.\n\n#### SUGAR\nThere has been a fair demand from the trade, but speculators having done but little in the article scarcely any alteration in prices has taken place, and quotations of most descriptions are about the same as on the 8th ult. Foreign refined continues to be offered at prices lower than to allow the English refiners to compete with profitable results, but as the prospects of supply from the cane-growing countries indicate an out-turn by no means equal to our requirements, it is not probable that any material fall in values will take place, unless, indeed, the production of beetroot sugar should be on a larger scale than hitherto. The deliveries in all the sugar-consuming countries are progressing most satisfactorily, showing a decided and steady increase. The last sale of the Dutch Trading Company took place on the 24th ult., and comprised 39,000 baskets, Java; grey and yellow realised the rates current at the May sale, but white sold at 1s. decline. The principal transactions on the spot have comprised 14,000 casks West India; 16,000 bags Mauritius; 8,000 bags Bengal; 14,000 bags Madras; 1,500 bags Penang; 33,000 bags Manila; 1,200 casks Cuba and Porto Rico, and 850 bags Guatemala. The imports of sugar into the United Kingdom during the seven months ending 31st July amounted to 341,758 tons, against 322,277; the deliveries for home consumption were 316,846 tons, against 272,761, and for export and coastwise 5,966 tons, against 18,006. The stock on the 1st August was 189,736 tons, against 221,253 at the same date in 1866.\n\n#### SPICES\nAt the quarterly sales on the 29th ultimo, comprising 1,260 tons, bales Ceylon, good and fine qualities were difficult to sell, and only partly realised at moderate prices; medium quality brought full rates, and the inferior sorts an advance of 1d. to 2d. on the April sales, viz., fourths 1s. 3d. to 1s. 9d., thirds 1s. 10d. to 2s. 1d., seconds 2s. to 2s. 6d., firsts 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d., and superior 2s. 6d. to 3s. 1d. per lb. Mace continues scarce and firm; 2 cases Penang at auction sold at 1s. 10d. to 1s. 11d. per lb. for medium reddish. Nutmegs are 1¼d. to 2d. per lb. dearer, with increased inquiry; good business done privately; 14 cases Penang and 37 cases Batavia sold at auction at 1s. 2d. to 1s. 9d. per lb. for ordinary small to middling medium. Sapanwood: Steady, and tons Siam at auction realised £12 to £12 15s., also one-third of 35 tons Ceylon offered, realised £10 15s. per ton.\n\n#### COFFEE\nThere has been a good demand, and although supplies have been ample, the values of good current descriptions have been maintained. Fine sorts have shown an advancing tendency, but common and low qualities have sold irregularly and at lower rates. The shipments from Ceylon at the last returns were 714,000 cwts., against 723,000 last season, made up of 545,000 cwts. Plantation and 169,000 cwts. Native, against 510,000 and 213,000, and the quantity now afloat for this country is 18,000 tons, against 18,000 last year. The principal transactions on the spot, with the latest prices paid, have comprised 6,000 casks 2,000 bags Plantation Ceylon, low middling to good bold greens 74s. 6d. to 84s. 6d., low middling to good middling blue 74s. 6d. to 82s., bold 85s. 6d., peaberry 91s. to 95s.; 200 casks 2,500 bags Native Ceylon, fine ordinary bold 64s., good ordinary 59s., small 50s., peaberry 65s. 6d. to 65s.; and 8,000 packages East India - Singapore, ordinary 45s. to 48s., Java 68s. The total deliveries of coffee in Holland from the 1st of January to the 31st of July were 484,694 bags, against 358,307 bags in 1866, and the stock at the end of last month was 525,500 bags, against 580,100 bags.\n\n#### CURRANTS\nIn fair demand, and 2,000 packages good Pegu have realised 37s. to 38s. per cwt.\n\n#### CAMPHOR\nChina and Japan descriptions are firm, with fair private business at £6 15s. to £7 per cwt.\n\n#### GUM BENJAMIN\nThe market is steady, and of 56 cases Siam at auction half sold at £24 to £24 15s. per cwt. For fine third quality, and £11 to £11 15s. for dark. Of 42 cases Sumatra three-fourths sold at £8 2s. 6d. to £8 12s. 6d. per cwt. for false packed second quality.\n\n#### GALLS\nThe transactions have comprised 100 cases China at 6¼s., and a small portion Japan at 5¾s. per cwt.\n\n#### MANILA HEMP\nThe market is now firm, with a moderate business at fully the previous rates, 587 bales having been sold at auction at £49 10s. to £50 5s. per ton for fair current quality.\n\n#### PEPPER\nThere has been a fair inquiry for black privately, and nearly 8,000 bags have been sold, Penang at 2¼d. to 2 15/16d., Singapore 3d. to 5/16d., and Tellicherry at 3¼d. At public sale, 840 bags Penang were all taken at 2¼d.; also 164 bags Singapore White at 5d. to 5¼d., and 100 bags privately at 5d. cash.\n\n#### RICE\nA rise in the Corn market, consequent upon the uncertain weather, has been followed by a movement in this article. Owing, however, to the small stock there has been but little in which to operate on the spot, and in consequence the greater part of the transactions have taken place in floating cargoes or parcels. About 18,000 bags have changed hands on the spot at full to rather higher prices, viz., 10s. 9d. to 12s. 3d. for Soft-grain, and 16s. to 16s. 6d. for white Bengal. Of floating cargoes about forty have changed hands, the latest sales being at 11s. to 11s. 3d. for ...\n\n#### TAPIOCA\nAt auction 136 bags Singapore were chiefly sold, good middling and good white 4¼d. to 5d. per lb.; and 165 bags pearl Tapioca fetched 30s. to 31s. per cwt.\n\n### ARTICLES OF EXPORT\n\n#### IRON\nThe quotations in London are for Welsh bars, £5 15s. to £6; nail rods, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; hoops, £8 10s. to £9; sheets, single, £9 15s. to £10; Staffordshire bars, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; rails, £4 5s.\n\n#### COPPER\nSheet and Sheathing, £79 to £83 per ton; yellow metal, 7d. to 7¼d. per lb.\n\n#### TIN\n£91 for block; £92 for common bars. Tin plates, best charcoal I.C., 30s. to 31s.\n\n#### LEAD, &c.\nEnglish pig, W.B., £21; shot, patent, £23; sheet, £20 15s.; spelter, £20 17s. 6d.; zinc, English sheet, £26 to £26 10s.; quicksilver, £6 17s. 6d.\n\nThe following is from the Circular of Messrs. French and Smith :- \nThere has been no activity in the Metal Market the past month, the increasing abundance and cheapness of money having apparently no influence. Almost all transactions reported have been for immediate consumption or shipment. Iron: Scotch and Welsh are quoted a shade easier; Staffordshire is steady, with a good demand for the East; and as some few of the railways are on the market again for Rails, a firmer tone in this branch of the trade may reasonably be expected. Copper is rather lower than at the beginning of July. The mail on 18th ult., brought advices of charters for about 1,400 tons Copper, 850 tons of which were Bars. That on the 29th ult. brought advices of about 1,800 tons Copper, of which 1,200 were Bars. Sales of Bars have been made at £67 10s. Prices now quoted are: Bars, £84 to £85; Wallaroo, £82 to £83; English Tough Cake, £75 to £76; Chili Bars, £68 to £69. Tin: A large business was done in Tin during July, principally for immediate delivery; and the quantity of Straits taken out of warehouse here is very large. The consumption in England continues great, especially for Tin-Plate manufacturers, whose works were never more fully employed. The price for fine Straits in July was between £86 10s. and £87; it is rather weak Banca is at the latter quotation to-day through some pressing sellers. steady in Holland at 53 guilders; English firm, at quotations. Tin Plates are in very good demand, and, notwithstanding the large production, prices are rather stronger. The shipments in July were 140,000 boxes, against 165,000 boxes same month in 1866. By the Board of Trade returns, the exports, January to June, were 36,690 tons, against 34,750 tons in 1866, and 30,410 in 1855. Lead is more inquired for, although there is no improvement in price. Spelter advanced in the middle of July to £21 5s., at which some small business was done, but has gone back to £20 17s. 6d. The stock on 31st July was 3,627 tons, against 6,808 tons in 1866. Quicksilver unchanged.\n\n### EXPORT OF BULLION TO CHINA, &c.\n\nThe following return shows the shipments of bullion from Southampton from the 1st January by the P. and O.

Robinson, Governor, &c., Hongkong.\n\n**HONGKONG, 20th September, 1864.**\n\nSIR, We have the honor to address Your Excellency on the subject of the Acting Surveyor General's Circular Letter of 15th August last, addressed to the Tenants of Marine Lots between the Harbour Master's Office and the Water Police Wharf.\n\nThis Circular commences by stating that the Tenants of the Lots in question have constructed the opposite Sea wall so badly that it is necessary for them to rebuild the whole; and further proposes to extend the Praya 100 feet beyond its present limit: Government granting a lease of the reclaimed Land to the said Tenants, free of premium, in consideration of their undertaking the expense of the Sea wall and filling in; or failing compliance, the work is to be undertaken by Government and the reclaimed ground sold by Auction, a portion of the premium realized to be awarded the owner of the late Marine Lot—thus made an inland one—as compensation for loss of Sea frontage.\n\nAs the line of action thus sketched out is one which seriously affects the interests of the Lot Holders concerned, a Meeting of the recipients of the Circular was called and held on the 13th instant for the purpose of giving due and joint consideration to the subject.\n\nIn an appendix to this Letter are given the names of those present, and by a resolution unanimously carried, we, the undersigned, were authorized to act generally on their behalf.\n\nWe have therefore to request Your Excellency to consider the views we now put forward as an embodiment of those which were expressed and appeared to be fully concurred in by the Meeting.\n\nIn the first place, we do not admit the entire justice and accuracy of the remarks contained in the opening paragraph of the Acting Surveyor General's Circular; viz:-that \"The Praya wall has been so badly constructed by the Tenants of the adjoining Marine Lots.\"\n\nA portion of the wall to the extreme East has endured, not indeed the full force of a Typhoon, the centres of which rarely enter this Harbour: but fair average gales, for the last seven years, and an adjoining portion extending some distance westward has done the same for the last three or four years; without any sign of injury or weakness being apparent, or raising a doubt of its ability to withstand more severe trials: this we are aware, is not the case with the wall farther westward and in the vicinity of the China Houses and the Water Police Station, a more exposed portion: which has given indubitable evidence of the faulty nature of its construction.\n\nBut we respectfully draw Your Excellency's attention to the fact that the whole of this Sea wall, whether good, bad, or indifferent, was entirely constructed under Government superintendence and under Government plans; it was approved of tacitly or directly and passed by the Surveyor General, and when completed some years ago was, with the roadway, taken over by the Local Government from the hands of the Constructors, the Marine Lot Holders aforesaid—without comment, question, or protest; thus relieving the latter from all further responsibility; and by the Government has it been since maintained.\n\nIt may be mentioned too that while the whole of the Sea wall was subject to the supervision and approval of Government during the period occupied in its construction, a part was actually built under the special professional superintendence of Mr. C. St. G. Cleverly, who would, of course, take care that no work was passed in his private capacity that he would disapprove of as Surveyor General.\n\nWe are therefore unanimously of opinion that no laches attach to the Tenants (as a body) of these Lots: and if after the inspection by competent Authorities the whole or any part of the Sea wall is found to require re-construction, the entire expense of this re-construction should form a charge upon the General Revenues of the Colony.\n\nWith reference to the proposed extension of 100 feet, it is found that while the ground gained would be costly in itself, it would be of little comparative value; far too limited an area, even if the whole could be availed of, to be of much practical use; but as the roadway of 50 feet, now too wide even now, forming the present Praya, would still be required as a line of thoroughfare and access to the buildings already occupying its length—it would follow, that deducting the width of the New Praya to be formed, but 50 feet of available area would remain; almost valueless to the adjoining Lot Holders from the inevitable necessity of its separation from their Lots. Moreover, whatever might be the extent of the reclamation, the mere fact of the present Marine Lots being... \n\nPage 305",

Rennie, Esq., Acting for the Colonial Secretary.\n\nHONGKONG, 1st November, 1864.\n\nSIR—We have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 3rd ultimo, and to express our apologies for not replying to it earlier, the cause—the absence from Hongkong of our Chairman—has been already intimated to you.\n\nYou enclose a despatch No. 82 of 28th September prepared by the Acting Surveyor General in reference to our letter of the 20th September and ask on behalf of His Excellency the Governor,\n\n1st. For the facts or correspondence on which we rely in support of the statement that the Sea wall and Roadway were passed by the Surveyor General and taken over by the Local Government without protest, &c.\n\n2nd. For the stipulation in the Crown Leases which we had in view when making the observation that full compensation should be made Marine Lot Holders whose property might be damaged by an alteration of the Praya.\n\nTo the first question we would reply that we are not at present in possession of any \"correspondence\" showing that Government commented upon, questioned, or protested against, taking over the line of Praya and roadway under discussion, nor are we aware that such correspondence exists—it is however a well-known \"fact\" that the Marine Lot Holders had no control over the construction of the Praya, and we submit the inference is legitimate that the Government is responsible for the work.\n\nTo the second question we beg to answer that the stipulation we had in view was that part of the Crown Lease which states that if any portion of the ground demised is resumed or taken possession of, being required for the improvement of the Colony or for other public purpose \"a full and fair compensation for the said land and the buildings thereon\" shall be paid to the Tenant. You are quite right in stating that no provision is made in a Crown Lease for converting a Marine Lot into an Inland one, but the recently contemplated act—possible injury by Government to private property for a public purpose, was so analogous in principle to that provided for above, that we had no hesitation in concluding that a similar rate of compensation would, in simple justice, be adopted.\n\nWe return the Acting Surveyor General's despatch, after careful perusal, it does not in any way alter or modify the views we expressed on the 20th September last.—We have, &c.\n\nCommittee appointed on behalf of Marine Lot Holders.\n\n(Signed,) FRANCIS CHOMLEY. JOHN S. LAPRAIK. GEORGE J. HELLAND. GEORGE F. MACLEAN. T. G. LINSTEAD. ROBERT BRAND.\n\n# The Acting Colonial Secretary to the Committee of Marine Lot Holders.\n\nNo. 923.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 10th November, 1864.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—His Excellency the Governor having given careful consideration to the answers furnished by you, as Representatives of a certain number of the Marine Lot Holders, to whom the Circular of the 15th August was addressed, is unable to concur in the arguments advanced by you against the extension of the Praya.\n\nHis Excellency believes it to be the opinion of competent Judges that sooner or later this extension must take place, and wishes me to point out that the terms offered in the Circular, and to which you take exception, are precisely those under which the last extension was effected. These terms are in accordance with the decisions of the Secretary of State to which I would refer you, and which you will find in the Government Gazettes of 3rd January, and 7th March, 1857.\n\nIt is however unnecessary to discuss this part of the proposal further, because the Government Circular was written under the impression that the Marine Lot Holders as a body were anxious to be permitted to extend their lots seaward;—this now appears to have been an error,—and there is no desire on the part of the Government at present to force the improvement upon the Tenants in opposition to their wishes.\n\nHis Excellency also feels it necessary to record his dissent from the opinion expressed by you that \"if the whole or any part of the present Sea wall is found to require re-construction, the entire expense of the re-construction should form a charge upon the General Revenues of the Colony.\" The grounds urged in support of this opinion (even assuming their entire correctness which His Excellency is by no means prepared to admit) merely tend to show that the Government might, after this lapse of time, find some technical difficulty in compelling the Tenants to rebuild the wall under the terms of the original agreement, but the arguments in no way affect the real merits of the question as between the Marine Lot Holders and the General Public.\n\nThe material points which you appear to have overlooked are these.\n| Point | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1st | That in consideration of the Marine Lot Holders constructing the Praya and Sea wall at their own expense, advantages were given to them by the Public in the shape of either remission of premiums or reduction of old rates, or in some cases both, far exceeding in value the cost of good work. |\n| 2nd | That in the majority of cases bad work was supplied. |\n| 3rd | That the Marine Lot Holders have profited by their bad work, the price paid by them for the Sea wall being far below the rate at which a wall of sufficient strength could have been constructed—and |\n| 4th | That in the event of the Praya wall being seriously damaged, it is the Marine Lot Holders themselves who would be principally concerned, inasmuch as the safety of their property would be involved and interruption to the traffic on the Praya would affect them far more than the General Public. |",

ABSTRACT by Dr. SEATON of PROCEEDINGS of the INTERNATIONAL SANITARY CONFERENCE held at Vienna, July 1 to Aug. 1, 1874.\n\nThe International Sanitary Conference of Vienna, to which I had the honour of being delegated, along with Dr. Dickson of Constantinople, as representing the United Kingdom, was assembled at the instance of the Austro-Hungarian Government for objects which are stated at length in the dispatch of Count Andrássy, appended to this paper (Annex I.). Summarily, these objects were (1) to re-examine the state of our knowledge of cholera in reference to prophylaxy, with the view of establishing, if possible, a complete understanding between the Governments who had been convoked as to the national and international measures to be adopted for preventing the spread of that disease, \"de concerter entre les Etats intéressés des arrangements obligatoires qui auraient pour but d'amener une parfaite conformité dans les dispositions à prendre pour se prémunir contre ce danger commun;\" and (2) to consider the question of instituting a permanent, or temporary, international sanitary commission for the further investigation of epidemics and the means of combating them. It was reserved for the Conference to enter or not, as it might see fit, on the subject of quarantine against other diseases than cholera.\n\nEvery European State was represented at this Conference. Persia and Egypt were also represented. The United States of America had been invited by the Austro-Hungarian Government, and had accepted the invitation, but no representatives attended. The States represented were 22 in number,* each sending as many delegates as it thought fit, but each disposing of one vote only. The delegates were, with few exceptions, of the medical profession, and no State was without a medical representative. Most of the delegates were persons holding office in the public service, sanitary or medical, of their respective countries.\n\nThe Conference was formally opened July 1st, 1874, and formally closed August 1st, 1874. During this time 20 sittings of the full Conference were held, independent of the meetings of the several committees to which had been entrusted the preliminary consideration, and preparation for discussion, of some of the more important questions on which the Conference had to decide.\n\nFollowing the programme which had been proposed and submitted to the respective Governments in Count Andrássy's despatch (Annex II.), certain preliminary scientific questions in reference to cholera were first submitted for consideration. These the Conference decided to consider in full assembly without the intermedium of committees. As most (though not all) of these questions had been thoroughly discussed by the Conference which had been held eight years previously at Constantinople, it was determined, in order to facilitate business, that as each such question arose the conclusions arrived at on the subject by the Constantinople Conference should be read, and a provisional vote thereon taken without discussion. If the result were one of unanimous assent, the question was regarded as settled in that sense, and the Conference passed on to the next question. But if the assent were not unanimous, if a single delegation of those present at the time even abstained from voting, the discussion was declared open. This rule of proceeding was found in practice extremely convenient and led to a great saving of time.\n\n*Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Holland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Persia, Portugal, Roumania, Russia, Servia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey.\n\n### APP.

        "content_text": "(2)\n\nCASE SUBMITTED TO COUNSEL.\n\nThe Opinion of Counsel is requested by the City Hall Committee with reference to their position as regards the Government of Hong-kong.\n\nThe facts as to the way in which the Committee were elected are shortly as follows:-\n\nIn the year 1861 a meeting was held at the Hongkong Club to take into consideration a proposal for the erection of a building for purposes of Public Amusement in Hongkong. At this meeting, which was well attended, Mr. C. W. Murray was the Chairman, and he told those present that the Government had offered a piece of ground on the West Side of the Parade Ground upon part of which the Harbour Master's office then stood, provided that the Harbour Master's office was rebuilt upon another site. It was proposed that the necessary funds should be raised by the issue of shares representing one hundred dollars each. (A copy of the form of scrip is attached.)\n\nA provisional Committee, consisting of Mr. Murray, Mr. Pollard and Mr. Owen, was appointed to obtain a Site and to collect funds. They had power given them to add to their number, and did so by associating with themselves a merchant (A. Turing) a Banker (H. Noble) and a member of the Government (W. H. Rennie).\n\nNothing appears to have been done publicly after that meeting until the 31st December 1863, when the Provisional Committee published a circular, which sets out (1) that an application for the site previously referred to had with the consent of the Military authorities been forwarded by the local Government to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, (2) the space that would be at the Committee's disposal, (3) the urgency of the want that exists, (4) an application for funds. (A copy of the circular is attached.)\n\nIn May 1861 another public meeting was held at the Club convened by Mr. Murray for the Committee, and at the meeting it was announced that $15,000 had been collected, that the Committee proposed to add $35,000 by means of shares, and that Mr. Jardine had offered $50,000 at very low interest on condition that the former sum be made up. Resolutions were passed :—(1) That the retiring Committee be re-elected with power to add to their number and to supply vacancies, and authorising them to take all necessary measures for the completion of the undertaking. (2) That the Committee be authorised to consider the proposal of Government as to site and rebuilding Harbour Master's office apart from the City Hall and to execute the necessary works. (3) That the further funds required should be raised by shares of $100 each, the liability of shareholders to be limited to the amount of their shares. (4) That the $50,000 worth of shares belonging to Mr. Jardine should be preferential and bear 5 per cent. interest &c. (5) That the Committee be authorised to arrange for plans and estimates. (6) That the Committee be authorised to make terms with the Chamber of Commerce and to reserve free accommodation for the Libraries of the Morrison and Royal Asiatic Societies and of the London Mission. Funds were received by Mr. Murray on account of shares, and the latter were issued to the public.\n\nA public meeting was held at the Club House on the 29th August 1866 (a copy of the advertisement is attached), at which it was decided to accept Awah's tender and to proceed with the building at once. The foundation stone was laid by the Governor on the 23rd February 1867. The building Committee published their Report on the 26th June 1869, and a meeting was called for the 28th June 1869, at which the report was adopted and the accounts passed. At this meeting a new Committee was elected, consisting of Messrs Keswick, Gibb, Pollard, Kresser, Berwick, Rowett and Holland.\n\nIt was proposed that this new committee should be empowered to look after the conduct, management and maintenance of the building, and further that the said Committee should be entrusted with the drawing up of rules or by-laws relating to the Theatre &c., and to call meetings, with power to fill up vacancies. As far as the Committee are aware no Trust Deed vesting the building in Trustees has ever been in existence, nor have they any means of knowing how the names of Messrs Turing, McDouall and Ryrie came to be inserted in the Crown Lease of the land.\n\nA copy of the Crown Lease and of all the minutes or documents that have been before the Committee with reference to the Government grant of $1,200, together with a copy of their Report in which the correspondence between them and the Government is set out, are also submitted herewith.\n\nAttached will be found copies of such correspondence as the Committee possess with reference to the payment of the Government Grant.\n\nPage 25\n\nDec.",

No.\n\n87.\n\n6 585\n\nregularity and punctuality and the report therefore does not call for any remarks from\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour Most Obedient Humble Servant,\n\nMeurth\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nTHE POSTMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT FOR 1886\n\nPresented to the Legislative Council, by Command of Its Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, on the 14th January, 1887.\n\nGENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, January 1st, 1887.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to report upon the working of the Post Office in Hongkong and China during the year 1886.\n\n2. The exchange of Parcels with the United Kingdom established towards the end of 1885 has worked with great regularity and smoothness, whilst the steadily increasing numbers of parcels forwarded show that it is appreciated by the public. During the year under review 3,136 parcels have been forwarded from Hongkong to London, whilst 3,516 have been received, making a total of 6,652 parcels exchanged, almost without a complaint of any kind. There have been, of course, as it was foreseen there would be, a few false alarms of missing parcels, and early in the year some parcels were damaged by an accident on the mail steamer. The damage, however, was trifling, and compensation was paid in the only case where real harm was done. By the last mail in the year several parcels were received in a damaged state from having been put into a box with a package containing pomatum, which had of course melted, and which should not have been forwarded, unless in soldered tin. As far as is known at present, even in this case no serious damage resulted to the contents of the parcels. With these exceptions the parcels have all turned out in good order. It is observed that books are now often sent by Parcel Post, presumably because they do not get knocked about as do articles which are forwarded in mail bags. The London Post Office complains of the insecure way in which many parcels are packed by the senders, leading to the breakage of their contents on the way, and also of the inaccuracy with which contents are described. Thus a parcel stated by the sender to contain silk handkerchiefs and a gold ring is found on examination to contain six silk handkerchiefs, a tea cosy, a gold ring, a bead necklace, a puzzle and a pair of ivory solitaires. Perhaps this notice may tend to induce more care as to both of these matters.\n\n3. The limit of weight for parcels to the United Kingdom and a good many other countries has been raised from 7 to 11 lbs., whilst facilities have been provided for forwarding parcels to most of the countries of Europe, to Egypt, and to a good many British Colonies. Direct parcel exchanges with Malta and Gibraltar have also been established. Negotiations have been commenced with several of the Australian Colonies for the establishment of an exchange of parcels, and these are progressing favourably.\n\n4. The number of Transit Parcels, as they are called (that is of parcels sent to or from Colonies and foreign countries through London) has not been great. Possibly the circuitous route, and the necessarily somewhat high charges may have acted as deterrents. The following return shows the exchanges of Transit Parcels for the year.\n\n  \n    Sent.\n    Recd.\n  \n  \n    Ascension...\n    \n    Denmark.\n    6\n  \n  \n    Austria\n    1\n    Egypt.\n    4\n  \n  \n    Malta...\n    \n    Norway\n    2\n    8\n  \n  \n    Belgium\n    3\n    Germany\n    153\n  \n  \n    Sweden\n    8\n    British Guiana...\n    1\n  \n  \n    Gibraltar..\n    2\n    Switzerland..\n    7\n  \n  \n    Canada\n    5\n    Holland\n    3\n  \n  \n    Trinidad\n    1\n    Cape Colony...\n    6\n  \n  \n    Jamaica\n    1\n    Victoria (Austr.)\n    1\n  \n  \n    Totals...\n    212\n  \n\n5. By far the greater number of parcels sent home contain presents of some kind, whilst the greater number of those sent out contain supplies, such as hosiery, clothing, &c. The largest parcel mail despatched was that of November 8th (the Christmas mail) by which 314 parcels, weighing 588 lb. (net) were forwarded. The largest parcel mail received was that which arrived here on December 17th, with 246 parcels weighing 642 lb.\n\n6. A new mail service between Bremerhaven, Brindisi, Shanghai and Japan has been commenced by the packets of the North German Lloyds line. The fact that these packets start only once every four weeks, and that their departures from China coincide very nearly with those of the French mails...\n\nEvery week a sheaf of letters is received from various Post Offices representing that this or that Registered Article has not reached its destination. The same stereotyped answer is always sent, that it was delivered on such a day, and that the addressee signed a receipt for it. Nothing further is ever heard of these complaints, which generally arise from the senders' not having allowed time for the arrival of the correspondence. A case was recently noticed in which a person resident in France had registered a letter for Peking, and then within one week from the date of posting had complained of its non-delivery there.\n\nWith the boxes, these parcels weighed nearly half a ton.",

Simpson, Town Clerk.\n\nLOCAL INTELLIGENCE.\n\nThe Hambledon Guardians and Rural Sanitary Authority have been invested with urban powers, rights, &c., under the provisions of Sections 157 and 158 of the Public Health Act, 1875, within the contributory places of Bramley, Cranley, Shalford, and Wonersh.\n\nThe Egremont Local Board and Urban Sanitary Authority recently re-appointed Dr. Calderwood as Medical Officer of Health for three years, but the Local Government Board have refused their sanction for more than one year, on account of his being a Poor-law district medical officer.\n\nAt the last meeting of the Driffield Guardians and Rural Sanitary Authority, it was unanimously resolved to decrease the salary of Dr. Wood, Medical Officer of Health, from £130 to £70 per annum, and that of Mr. Sumner, Inspector of Nuisances, &c., from £100 to £100 per annum, upon the expiration of their appointments at Christmas.\n\nIt was recently proposed to form a Local Government District for the Ogmore and Garw Valleys within the area of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary District, and the necessary formal steps were taken under The Public Health Act for that purpose. This was followed by the usual Local Government Inquiry, at which some evidence in opposition was given. At the meeting of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary Authority on the 4th inst., the question was discussed, and a resolution passed upholding a previous one in favour of the formation of the proposed district, as they 'saw no reason to change their opinion after hearing the objections raised at the recent Government Inquiry.'\n\nNOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nHaving for some time back been in the receipt of Queries appertaining strictly to sanitary work, and which it would be easy to answer, without having to refer our correspondents to competent professional advisers, we have opened a column in which to register such Queries and Replies thereto as can fairly be expected from us; and our subscribers and readers are invited to make such use of this column as will tend to benefit themselves and the community. Both Queries and Replies will, however, be subjected, if unnecessarily long, to a strict curtailment.\n\n205. TEST SOLUTIONS FOR WATER ANALYSIS.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would state where you would recommend me to get reliable test solutions for water analysis according to Wanklyn.\n\nR.M.O.H. [Messrs. Y. E. Becker & Co., 34 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, W.C., supply the solutions in a satisfactory state.—ED.]\n\n206. WATER SUPPLY.\n\nCan you recommend me any book that gives the average quantity of water used or required per head of population throughout the country?\n\nC. W. P.\n\nThe most reliable information as to the quantity of water which should preferably be allowed per head of population under varying conditions is to be found in Parkes' and De Chaumont's 'Practical Hygiene,' and it would, perhaps, be useless to seek elsewhere, as all the information upon this subject is brought down to a late date. Consult the Sixth Edition (1883) of the above work, pages 3 to 7. The publishers are Messrs. J. & A. Churchill, 11 New Burlington Street, London, W. (See also SANITARY RECORD, Aug. 16, 1886, page 91.) All engineers strive as much as possible to allow 30 gallons per head for domestic purposes, and in the work above mentioned this amount is thus distributed—Domestic supply (without bath or closets), 20 gallons; add for general baths, 4 gallons; water-closets, 6 gallons; unavoidable waste, 3 gallons—total, 33 gallons.—ED.]\n\n207. QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHIEF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.\n\nWhat do you consider the proper qualifications for a chief inspector of nuisances in a town of between 90,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, whose salary will be between £140 and £160 per annum? There will be several inspectors under him, and there is a medical officer of health who does not practise privately.\n\nALPHA.\n\nThis is not a question which lends itself to any such short answer as alone is possible for us in this corner of the RECORD. But our correspondent will find fully detailed remarks as to the qualifications for the post which he describes in the number for May 15, 1883, p. 510.]\n\nJEYES' PERFECT PURIFIER' is a disinfectant in fluid form of extraordinary efficacy. It is used in the Royal households and by Her Majesty's Government establishments, the Corporation of London, Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets, various steamship and railway companies, the principal hospitals, &c., and is authorised by the Board of Trade and the Indian Government. The testimonials which have been received bear the names among others of such unimpeachable authorities as Sir R. Rawlinson, C.B., C.E., Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Local Board, Home Office; Professor Wanklyn, M.R.C.S.; Dr. C. A. Cameron, Medical Officer of Health, Dublin; Mr. J. T. Dibdin, A.V.D., Cavalry Barracks, York; and Dr. Crookshank, Inspector-General of Prisons, Cairo. In addition to its powerful disinfecting properties, this compound possesses the recommendation that it is non-poisonous, non-corrosive, stainless in use, and cheap. The scientific mind will understand and appreciate this characteristic of the manufacture—that it prevents contagion by destroying its cause; it instantly removes bad smells; is an unfailing cure for eczema and other skin diseases, and is the best known insecticide.—Sold by all respectable Chemists' Stores, &c., in bottles at 6d. and 1s. and drums at 5s. per gallon.

As junior Captain in the 95th, when the Regiment was leaving England for the Eastern Expedition, he was detailed to remain behind with the depot, but this little accorded with the restless spirit of the ambitious soldier, who persevered in his longing desire to accompany his Regiment until he attained his wishes. At Scutari too, when, as junior Captain, he was ordered to remain behind with a Company, his determined efforts to push on for more active work in the Crimea again proved successful. Once more, at Malta, where he was stationed as junior Major of the 2nd Battalion of the Buffs, elated at the prospect of being employed on active service, he purchased his Lieut.-Colonelcy in the 1st Battalion of the Regiment, then in India, at a considerable pecuniary sacrifice, in excess of the regulation, to be in time to join the Expeditionary Force then preparing to proceed to China to retrieve our shaken prestige occasioned by the unfortunate repulse experienced at the Taku Forts.\n\nHe was proud of the high opinion entertained of him by such distinguished soldiers as Sir Hope Grant, Napier of Magdalla, Lord Airey, and others. Lord Napier made honourable mention of him in the following terms :--\n\n\"Colonel Sargent came under my observation in the performance of camp duties, in the command of an important outpost in the attack of Taku. The judgment and ability with which he performed these duties gave me a very high opinion of him as an officer, and I should select him for any important duty or command with the fullest confidence that he would execute it with good judgment and determination. It will give me great pleasure to hear of his having further opportunity of exercising his high military qualities.\"\n\nThe highly complimentary terms with which the same distinguished officer brought General Sargent prominently to the notice of His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, through Lord Airey, then Adjutant-General to the Forces, evinced unmistakably the high opinion entertained of him as an able officer, by those with whom he had served before the enemy, and who had thus formed the strongest regard and friendship for him. A still more gratifying proof of the late Lord Airey's regard for General Sargent is shown by a handsome memorial legacy he bequeathed to him, the inscription on which bears testimony to the esteem he entertained for him as a sincere friend and brother soldier.\n\nG.

        "content_text": "# 356\n\n## No. 58.\n\nSIR,\n\n### TREASURY, HONGKONG, 24th September, 1885.\n\nWith reference to your letter No. 1316 of yesterday's date, in which you refer to me for consideration and report a Despatch from the Secretary of State, No. 34 of August 17th, on the subject of the issue of subsidiary coins here, I have the honour to report as follows:—\n\nThere is not at present any prospect of subsidiary silver coin being at a discount, or of any difficulty being experienced in issuing it. There is to-day a balance of $54,000 worth of these coins in the Treasury, all of which, and far more, could be got rid of in a few days by simply letting it be understood that Chinese might have as much as they liked to ask for. I hope to keep a special reserve of at least $50,000 against the Chinese New Year, but whether this will be sufficient to abate the run on small coin which always exists at that time only experience can show.\n\nThe market prices of these coins have been as follows:\n\n| Date        | Premium    |\n|-------------|------------|\n| 1883, May 1st | .9 1 per cent premium |\n| November 6th | 23 \"       |\n| 1884, May 2nd | 1.4 \"\"     |\n| November 3rd | .85 1 \"    |\n| 1885, May 2nd | .39 \"      |\n| September 24th | .15 \"      |\n\nI am, however, to add that My Lords hope that the large profit made by the Colonial Government upon the issue of these silver Tokens for circulation not within the limits of the Colony, but on the mainland of China, is not leading them to lose sight of the serious risk, that is continually augmenting, of future embarrassment to the Colonial Treasury through the return of worn tokens for exchange, at their full nominal value, in possibly very large quantities at once.\n\nThe Colonial Government is of course under no obligation to furnish a medium of exchange to the Chinese Empire, and if Chinese subjects choose to buy Hongkong tokens for their own convenience, they could not complain if the Hongkong Government were to refuse to repurchase them, from holders resident in China, at the price of issue. But the question is whether it will be possible, when the coins circulating in China are defaced (by unfair means perhaps) to prevent Hongkong dealers from collecting them at a discount, and then presenting them to the Treasury for redemption at par.\n\nMy Lords hope that this subject may be carefully considered before the next demand for Hongkong Token coins is made.\n\nIt will be seen that there is no tendency towards a reduction in the marketable value of the coins, in spite of the larger quantities which have been imported. It must be clearly borne in mind that we are only pouring water into a sieve, and that on the other side of the sieve is China, an enormous country with no coinage, but quite alive to the advantages of one.\n\nShould the value of these coins at any time sink to par, shipments will be suspended.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\n**HONGKONG.

LISTER,\nTreasurer.\n\nP.S-To-day's low rate of premium on these coins is probably caused by the fact that they are obtainable free at the Treasury, which is the exception and not the rule.

        "content_text": "# \n19. My Lords have carefully weighed these recommendations, and they regret to come to the conclusion that the proposed settlement will not satisfy the just claim of Her Majesty's Government.\n\nThe fact that the Colony has in two or three past years contributed an inadequate sum to works of defence is not a reason for relieving it of a fair contribution to the charge of its garrison in the future. Nor can my Lords admit the cost of barracks as a reason for relief. The provision of barracks is a temporary and extraordinary service, such as the Imperial Government has often to meet, and such as it meets either by temporary increase of taxation or by loan. The cost of local militia and volunteers may properly be included in military expenditure, but proposals for the enrolment of such corps, though often put forward, are seldom enforced; and my Lords would prefer to know that militia and volunteers actually exist before they admit a prospective charge on their account. The plea for relief in consideration of other services performed is therefore insufficient.\n\n20. Nor is the plea for consideration on the ground of incapacity more sound. Hong Kong is a port with 7,000,000 tons of shipping in the year. It is the centre of financial business in that quarter of the globe. A recent governor has dilated on its great and increasing prosperity, and has dwelt upon the fact that for a long time taxation had not been increased. The estimated population on the 31st December 1887 was 213,000.* The numbers were increasing at the rate of 9,000 or 10,000 a year, and in 1889 the population probably exceeds 230,000. The military contribution, therefore, is now little more than half a dollar a head, and the increase of contribution now proposed, say `43,000l.`, including volunteers, would reach little more than a dollar a head.\n\n21. Comparison between the sums expended by different countries on certain services are always difficult, and my Lords only offer the following figures as approximate, and in illustration of their general argument. They believe that each inhabitant of the Netherlands contributes about 18s. 7d. to defence, each inhabitant of Belgium about 6s. 7d., each inhabitant of Portugal about 7s. 2d., each inhabitant of Sweden about 6s. 6d., each inhabitant of Greece about 10s. 3d., and each inhabitant of Switzerland about 5s. 1½d. These are small States not armed for aggression, and they afford, therefore, a fair standard of comparison with Colonies. Again, Hong Kong contributes perhaps nine per cent. of its revenue to defence, Holland contributes about 25 per cent., Belgium about 14½ per cent., Portugal 19 per cent., Sweden 32 per cent., Greece 24 per cent., Switzerland 34 per cent. of the national revenue to defence. But if it is contended that these are European powers, and therefore that the comparison is not fair, my Lords may cite the Dutch East Indies, in which the proportion is 27 per cent., or Japan, in which it is 43 per cent. If the increase proposed by the Committee were adopted, the contribution from Hong Kong would not probably exceed 18 per cent., and as the revenue steadily increases the percentage at the close of four years will in all probability be less.\n\n22. But the percentage of revenue appropriated to defence affords an imperfect test of the burden thereby imposed upon the community. It must also be ascertained whether the revenue raised is large in itself, and obtained by means of heavy taxation. The inhabitants of Hong Kong are exempted from Customs, and there is no income tax in the Colony. Taxation is confined, my Lords believe, to a moderate house tax, to light stamp duties producing from `20,000l.` to `30,000l.` a year, and to a few license duties, the chief of which is levied upon opium. Further, the modest revenue of `266,000l.` includes local taxation.\n\n23. My Lords have shown, they think, that the contribution of Hong Kong towards its own defence is inadequate by whatever standard it may be tested. The proportion of its revenue set aside for defensive purposes is insignificant when compared with the like proportion set aside in States which do not maintain large armies and navies for aggressive objects. The increasing prosperity of the Colony is undoubted. It contributes nothing to its naval defence. The charge for defence per head of the inhabitants is very small. The amount and incidence of taxation are out of all comparison light.\n\n*`Parliamentary Paper C. 5249, 1888`.\n\nIf military expenditure apart from works were about 270,000 dollars (`43,000l.` at 3s. 2d. the dollar), this would mean about 18 per cent. of a revenue of 1,500,000 dollars.\n\n# \n23. Sir A. Haliburton's Committee state that the Colonial Office in 1863 imposed upon the Colony a military contribution equivalent to one-fifth of the cost of the Garrison, and that it was in the contemplation of the Secretary of State, who then held office, to increase it. That intention has unfortunately remained unfulfilled for a quarter of a century, and the favourable terms thus enjoyed by the Colony during that period would in itself justify a considerable increase in the proportion which Hong Kong is henceforth to contribute to defence. It certainly is not a reason for a reduction of that proportion. Yet the Committee recommend a contribution not equal in proportion to that which the Colony paid in 1863, and their recommendation is not accompanied by a stipulation for a more equitable arrangement at the expiration of the five years. This would not be a satisfactory conclusion.\n\n25. The Empire is required to make considerable sacrifice in order to complete its defences, and as self-defence is the primary duty of every community, proper provision for that object should be one of the first charges on the revenue of each member of the Empire. The Imperial Government, in its anxiety to consult Colonial interests, has somewhat overlooked this first condition of society, and the precedent may not improbably be construed into a rule of policy that Colonial Governments are not to be asked for a proper contribution towards their own preservation. Sir A. Haliburton's Committee do not sufficiently recognise the fact that the Colony, like the mother country, must increase its taxation if existing revenues will not meet the due and proper charges of defence and government, and my Lords know no reason why the prosperous Colony of Hong Kong should be exempted in this respect from the ordinary lot of civilised communities.\n\n26. My Lords cannot therefore agree that the contribution of `40,000l.` a year is sufficient, and they will therefore propose that the subject should be referred in November to a committee of Her Majesty's advisers. But in the meantime they are prepared to accept for two years the contribution of `40,000l.` a year recommended by the Committee, and accepted by the Secretary of State.\n\nMy Lords further consider that the arrangement should be strictly observed under which, in carrying out plans of defence, the Colony provides the works, and the Imperial Government the armaments. The Colony should therefore refund `9,000l.` expended on submarine mining works.\n\nLastly, any excess of expenditure and the estimate upon new barracks should be equally divided between the Imperial and Colonial Governments.\n\nI am, Sir,\nYour obedient Servant,\n**Rewelby**",

These ports differ, therefore, from those of Hong Kong and Singapore, in so far as they are not merely naval bases and harbours of refuge for the trade which passes them in its transit between the United Kingdom and foreign countries.\n\n10. Unless this distinction is kept well in view, no proper and fair consideration will be given to the conditions which govern the defence of these eastern coaling stations. It is of course reasonable and just that the mercantile community and alien inhabitants of Singapore and Hong Kong should bear their full share of the cost of protecting the ports in which they carry on their business, and of the security which they enjoy. The amount which they should contribute is a subject for careful examination and discussion, but as regards Hong Kong, Lord Knutsford must observe that the discussion was closed for the present by the conference of himself and his colleagues, when the contribution was fixed for five years, at £40,000 a-year.\n\n11. Their Lordships being dissatisfied with the conclusions of a Committee, to which their own representative was a consenting party, caused the matter to be referred to the two Secretaries of State and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and, according to Lord Knutsford's distinct recollection, the result of this meeting was that the recommendations of the Committee were accepted, so far as regards Hong Kong. He cannot, therefore, adopt the view apparently underlying your letter under acknowledgment that this conference was merely of a preliminary character, designed to clear the ground for subsequent discussion; and should the Secretary of State for War concur in this recollection of what passed at that meeting, Lord Knutsford trusts that their Lordships will reconsider their present decision, and agree to this contribution of £40,000 for the five years, from 1st January last.\n\n12. As regards the sum of about £9,000 for submarine mining works, which their Lordships desire should be demanded from the colony, Lord Knutsford would point out that when the conference accepted, as according to his recollection was the case, the recommendations of Sir Arthur Haliburton's Committee, no exception or reservation was made in respect either of this sum or of the payments on account of the new barracks. And in any case he would deprecate any demand on account of this sum, not only because no similar demand has been made upon any other colony, and no objection has been raised in Parliament, but also because the Colonial Legislature, in 1886, when voting a sum of £60,375 in addition to the original estimate of £55,625 for works, making together the sum of £116,000, did so on the distinct understanding that \"this vote shall be final for the military and defensive purposes of the colony,\" and although Her Majesty's Government never formally accepted this condition, yet if the demand for this £9,000 is pressed, the colony would naturally point to the resolution, and the difficulty would be considerably greater of obtaining the increased annual contribution, and the money necessary for the new barracks.\n\n13. For it must be remembered, that hitherto all barracks at Hong Kong have been built by the military authorities, and any demand upon the colony on that account will be unexpected, and give rise to much opposition. And there is a matter of considerable importance to which Lord Knutsford desires to draw their Lordships' attention. The colony has recently carried out, at enormous cost, certain large works for bringing into the town a copious supply of fresh water, of which the military and naval departments enjoy the benefit, without contributing to the cost of the works, and the colony may claim to set off a portion of this expenditure against demands which they consider unjust, seeing that the War Office and Admiralty pay only half rates for the water they use, and it is understood that the Admiralty have objected even to this. No such suggestion has yet been made by the Governor, and very possibly never will be made, but the circumstance should not be overlooked when considering the demands which it is judicious for Her Majesty's Government to put forward.\n\n14. It only remains to notice the 8th paragraph of the letter under reply, and to observe that if the Straits contribution has not been paid in sterling, this is due to the Treasury having refused to accept sterling in the first instance, and afterwards when the exchange turned in favour at the colony, to its having for years omitted to deal with a proposal from the Colonial Office, submitting a scheme, which, whatever may have been its merits, was at any rate an honest attempt to come to an arrangement upon the subject. Upon this question I am to refer you to the letter from this department of the 18th of September.\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nThe Secretary to the Treasury.\n\nJ. BRAMSTON.\n\nWar Office to Colonial Office.\n\nWar Office,\n\n30th November 1889.\n\nSir,\n\nWith reference to your letter of the 17th October 1889, respecting the provision of additional barrack accommodation at Hong Kong, I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to transmit herewith, for the information of Lord Knutsford, a copy of a letter* which has been addressed to the Treasury in regard to the sale of land in that colony, and I am to state that no trustworthy estimate of the cost of the barrack accommodation can yet be furnished, nor is it expected that a complete estimate can be so furnished for some length of time, as the amount of building will be considerable, and its plans, &c., will take a long time to prepare. Nor does the Secretary of State for War conceive that it will be possible to bind himself absolutely that the estimate will not be exceeded, though every effort will be made to adhere strictly to the figures quoted.\n\nThe variations in prices, and the necessary modifications of the plan in execution, render it impracticable to give an undertaking beyond this.\n\nThe plans, however, will be prepared and revised in this office upon the information available at the latest date, and with due regard to economy. The War Department also will have to bear half the cost beyond the proceeds of the sale of property, and it is clear that it will be to the interest of the War Department as much as to that of the colony, to keep the cost as low as possible.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office, S.W.\n\nSir,\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nRALPH THOMPSON.\n\nColonial Office to War Office.\n\nColonial Office, Downing Street,\n\n16th January 1888.\n\nWith reference to your letter of the 8th December, I am directed by Secretary Hong Kong Sir H. Holland to acquaint you that Captain Morant, R.N., has attended at this office, and with Colonel Locock, R.E., and Mr. Bramston, of this department, discussed the questions connected with the proposed extension of the Hong Kong Praya, and received such valuable information from Sir George Phillippo, Chief Justice of the Colony, who, as chairman of a land commission, which has recently reported to the Governor, is well acquainted with all matters relating to land in Hong Kong.\n\n2. The position of affairs, as Sir H. Holland understands it, may briefly be stated as follows:-The population of the colony, which is almost entirely concentrated in the town of Victoria, numbered, according to the census of 1881, 160,402 persons, of whom no less than 150,690 were Chinese. This number is now very much larger, and is increasing at the estimated rate of some 10,000 a year; nearly all Chinese; and very great difficulty is found in providing them with house room. This difficulty is increased by the circumstance that the town, which extends in a long line along the harbour, is occupied about the middle of the line by the naval yard, and the barracks and other military buildings, which practically cut the town in two.\n\n3. The only communication between the eastern and western halves of the town is by the Queen's Road, a thoroughfare of moderate width, passing behind the naval yard and some of the military buildings, others of which are on the other side of the Queen's Road, some on the same level, some on a cliff which here abuts on the road, and effectually prevents any second road from being made there for relief of the traffic.\n\n4. For many years the Colonial authorities have desired to obtain such relief by reclaiming a portion of the harbour and building a sea wall and road on the harbour side of the naval and military establishments; but all negotiations on the subject have hitherto failed, the Admiralty and War Office refusing to contribute to the expense, and at the same time objecting to being deprived of their water frontage, which would necessarily follow if the land reclaimed from the harbour were retained by the Colonial Government and utilized for building purposes.\n\n5. The necessities of the colony have now become so urgent that a proposal was made to the Admiralty to accept a larger site at Kowloon in exchange for the present yard, which is already too small for naval requirements, and in front of which the water\n\n(217)\n\n*For copy of letter\n\nsee page 13.",

The proposal therefore means that the Imperial Government should give up sites worth 140,000, and should spend 48,000 in cash; that the Colony should find a new site, costing 50,000, and should spend 24,000 in cash.

Haliburton's Committee take the latter of these two statements apparently as their guide, in forming an opinion upon the amount of the contribution to be asked from the Colony.\n\n### 12\nMy Lords must, however, demur to such an assumption. The Secretary of State for the Colonies is the advocate and representative of Colonial interests in the Imperial Councils, and my Lords cannot be bound by a statement to which they, as representing the British taxpayer, were not parties. It must not be held a financial instruction for all time, that the \"larger\" part of the garrison of Hong Kong is maintained for Imperial purposes. On the contrary, my Lords strongly hold that if they are to lay down a principle, it ought to be that, as the Imperial Government undertakes the naval defence of the Colony, the Colony itself should provide the larger part of the cost of its military defence.\n\n### 13\nSir A. Haliburton's Committee state that the revenues of the Colony would not admit of its bearing any large proportion of the cost of its garrison, and they point out that the revenue of 1888 was estimated at 266,000, while the cost of the future garrison will amount to 283,000. Taking as their starting point the arrangement made in 1865, under which the Colony contributed one-sixth of its revenue to military expenditure, and thereby defrayed one-fifth of the cost of its garrison, they show that one-fifth of the cost of the future garrison would be 56,000, or rather more than one-fifth of the estimated revenue for 1888. But though they do not think such a charge excessive in itself, they point to the expenditure which the Colony has incurred on defences, to the expenditure which it may incur on barracks, and on local Militia and Volunteers, and they suggest that one-fifth of the cost of the Regular garrison would, in these circumstances, press hardly on the Colony. They propose accordingly that the contribution should be fixed at 40,000 for five years from 1st January, 1889, and that at the commencement of 1893 the contribution should be reconsidered, with a view to its readjustment in 1894.\n\n## 19\nMy Lords have carefully weighed these recommendations, and they regret to come to the conclusion that the proposed settlement will not satisfy the just claim of Her Majesty's Government.\n\nThe fact that the Colony has in two or three past years contributed an inadequate sum to works of defence, is not a reason for relieving it of a fair contribution to the charge of its garrison in the future. Nor can my Lords admit the cost of barracks as a reason for relief. The provision of barracks is a temporary and extraordinary service, such as the Imperial Government has often to meet, and such as it meets, either by temporary increase of taxation, or by loan. The cost of local Militia and Volunteers may properly be included in military expenditure, but proposals for the enrolment of such corps, though often put forward, are seldom enforced; and my Lords would prefer to know that Militia and Volunteers actually exist, before they admit a prospective charge on their account. The plea for relief in consideration of other services performed, is therefore insufficient.\n\n## 20\nNor is the plea for consideration on the ground of incapacity, more sound. Hong Kong is a port with 7,000,000 tons of shipping in the year. It is the centre of financial business in that quarter of the globe. A recent Governor has dilated on its great and increasing prosperity, and has dwelt upon the fact that for a long time taxation had not been increased. The estimated population on the 31st December, 1887, was 213,000.* The numbers were increasing at the rate of 9,000 or 10,000 a year, \nand in 1889 the population probably exceeds 230,000. The Military Contribution, therefore, is now little more than half a dollar a head, and the increase of contribution now proposed, say 43,000, including Volunteers, would reach little more than a dollar a-head.\n\n*`Parliamentary Paper C. 5249, 1888`\n\n## 21\nComparison between the sums expended by different countries on certain services are always difficult, and my Lords only offer the following figures as approximate, and in illustration of their general argument. They believe that each inhabitant of the Netherlands contributes about 13s. 7d. to defence, each inhabitant of Belgium about 6s. 7d., each inhabitant of Portugal about 7s. 2d, each inhabitant of Sweden about 6s. 6d, each inhabitant of Greece about 10s. 3d., and each inhabitant of Switzerland about 5s. 1¼d. These are small States not armed for aggression, and they afford, therefore, a fair standard of comparison with Colonies. Again, Hong Kong contributes perhaps 9 per cent. of its revenue to defence, Holland contributes about 25 per cent., Belgium about 14½ per cent., Portugal 19 per cent., Sweden 32 per cent., Greece 24 per cent., Switzerland 34 per cent. of the national revenue, to defence. But if it is contended that these are European Powers, and therefore that the comparison is not fair, my Lords may cite the Dutch East Indies, in which the proportion is 27 per cent., or Japan, in which it is 43 per cent. If the increase proposed by the Committee were adopted, the contribution from Hong Kong would not probably exceed 18 per cent., and as the revenue steadily increases, the percentage at the close of four years will in all probability be less.\n\n## 22\nBut the percentage of revenue appropriated to defence, affords an imperfect test of the burden thereby imposed upon the community. It must also be ascertained whether the revenue raised is large in itself, and obtained by means of heavy taxation. The inhabitants of Hong Kong are exempted from Customs, and there is no income tax in the Colony. Taxation is confined, my Lords believe, to a moderate house tax, to light stamp duties producing from 20,000 to 30,000 a-year, and to a few license duties, the chief of which is levied upon opium. Further, the modest revenue of 266,000 includes local taxation.\n\n## 23\nMy Lords have shown, they think, that the contribution of Hong Kong towards its own defence is inadequate, by whatever standard it may be tested. The proportion of its revenue set aside for defensive purposes, is insignificant when compared with the like proportion set aside in States which do not maintain large armies and navies for aggressive objects. The increasing prosperity of the Colony is undoubted. contributes nothing to its naval defence. The charge for defence per head of the inhabitants is very small. The amount and incidence of taxation are, out of all comparison, light.\n\n## 24\nSir A. Haliburton's Committee state that the Colonial Office in 1863 imposed upon the Colony a Military Contribution equivalent to one-fifth of the cost of the garrison, and that it was in the contemplation of the Secretary of State, who then held office, to increase it. That intention has unfortunately remained unfulfilled for a quarter of a century, and the favourable terms thus enjoyed by the Colony during that period would in itself justify a considerable increase in the proportion which Hong Kong is henceforth to contribute to defence. It certainly is not a reason for a reduction of that proportion. Yet the Committee recommend a contribution not equal in proportion to that which the Colony paid in 1863, and their recommendation is not accompanied by a stipulation for a more equitable arrangement at the expiration of the five years. This would not be a satisfactory conclusion.\n\n## 25\nThe Empire is required to make considerable sacrifice in order to complete its defences, and as self-defence is the primary duty of every community, proper provision for that object should be one of the first charges on the revenue of each member of the Empire. The Imperial Government, in its anxiety to consult Colonial interests, has somewhat overlooked this first condition of society, and the precedent may not improbably be construed into a rule of policy that Colonial Governments are not to be asked for a proper contribution towards their own preservation. Sir A. Haliburton's Committee do not sufficiently recognise the fact that the Colony, like the mother country, must increase its taxation if existing revenues will not meet the due and proper charges of defence and government, and my Lords know no reason why the prosperous Colony of Hong Kong should be exempted in this respect from the ordinary lot of civilised communities.\n\n## 26\nMy Lords cannot therefore agree that the contribution of 40,000 a-year is sufficient, and they will therefore propose that the subject should be referred...\n\n*If military expenditure apart from works were about 270,000 dollars (43,000 at 3s. 2d. the dollar), this would mean about 18 per cent. of a revenue of 1,500,000 dollars.\n\nPage 138  \nD  \n478",

        "content_text": "## REPORT SHEWING PROGRESS OF SPECIAL WORK CARRIED OUT FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE FURTHER SPREAD OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.\n\nLaid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor.\n\n### SANITARY BOARD. HONGKONG 21st October, 1895.\n\nSIR,--Referring to our report dated the 7th of June (Government Notification No. 276 of 1895) we have now the honour to submit, for the information of the Board, the following further particulars of the progress of the special work entrusted to our joint directions.\n\n## HOUSE TO HOUSE VISITATION.\n\n2. On the 1st of June the original detachment, consisting of 24 Police and 15 soldiers told off for this service, was reduced to 27 men working in three sections. Each section consisted of 4 soldiers, including 1 non-commissioned officer, and 5 Chinese constables in charge of a European Police constable. On the 15th of June the services of two of the sections were dispensed with, and to the remaining section was allotted the duty of visiting houses in the worst part of the City in the morning and in the afternoon of noting the destination of the passengers arriving by the Canton steamers. This section continued to discharge these duties until the end of July when the services of the Police and Military were discontinued.\n\n3. The night steamers from Canton have been regularly watched by a detachment of Police in charge of Detective Inspector QUINCEY.\n\n4. In appendix 4 will be found a statement of the number of houses inspected and of the number of passengers tracked to their destination. In all 15,147 inspections of houses have been made and 6,006 passengers from Canton followed to their destination after leaving the steamers.\n\n5. It is gratifying to be able to report that the attitude of the public during the examination of houses by the search parties has been friendly throughout and that the conduct of those engaged on the service has been good. Although none of the house visitation parties discovered any cases of plague, we are of opinion that the surprise visits made from time to time in various parts of the City have had a salutary effect in securing the prompt removal of the sick either to hospital or to places outside the Colony.\n\n## THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.\n\n6. At the date of our last report only 5 cases of bubonic plague were known to have occurred since the day on which the first case was reported. After an interval of more than a month, viz., on the 14th June the disease re-appeared in Holland Street, Kennedy Town--two cases from No. 9 and 1 from a matshed situated on private property at the south end of the lane. On the following day (the 15th) 4 cases occurred in a room on the first floor of No. 10, Heung Lane, in the Sheung Wan District, and a further case from the adjoining house, viz., No. 12 was reported the next day (16th). Particulars of these cases as well as those that occurred subsequently will be found in appendix B to this report.\n\n7. Five persons from No. 10 and one from No. 12, Heung Lane--the rest of the inmates having escaped before the Police arrived to take charge of the houses--were placed under observation in one of the \"marriage boats,\" or native marine hotels, specially chartered for this service and anchored at the back of Stone Cutter's Island.\n\n8. Five cases having occurred within two days in these two houses alone, it was decided at 3 p.m. on the 17th, after a close inspection of the other houses in this part of the lane, and on a joint certificate by the Acting Medical Officer of Health and the Assistant Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, to remove the occupants of the next two houses, viz., Nos. 14 and 16 until such time as the premises could be satisfactorily disinfected and cleansed. The majority accordingly proceeded to Canton the same evening, having declined the proffered accommodation afloat; the rest were housed in one of the marriage boats.\n\n9. On the 17th of June at 10 p.m. a man suffering from plague entered the Tung Wah Hospital and stated that he had been living in No. 10, Heung Lane, having left the house before the arrival of the Police. He was unable to give a clear account of his movements during the interval.\n\n10. Two cases of plague developed among those segregated from Nos. 10 and 12, Heung Lane, viz., one from No. 10 (on the 18th) and one from No. 12 (on the 20th). Altogether eight cases of plague occurred in these two houses in Heung Lane.\n\n11. The other cases do not call for any special remarks beyond those stated in the body and at the foot of the schedule. Not a single case has been reported since the 16th ultimo.",

You succeeded in at once introducing order and regularity into the service, and in effecting very considerable economies, and from that time forward the Committee were relieved from all troubles and under no anxiety as to the dead.\n\nThe Permanent Committee have further to thank you for undertaking, at their request, the general supervision of the men of the Royal Navy and others employed in the launches and at the fires along the Praya, established for the destruction of rubbish removed from the houses in the city.\n\nThe Permanent Committee are sending a copy of this letter to the Colonial Secretary for submission to His Excellency the Governor.\n\nI have, &c.,  \n(Signed),  \n**JNO.

Ch. 236.\n\nOn 20th September, 1879, an attachment was issued by the High Court against Pooley for disobedience of an order of the Court in a civil action. On 27th September a petition in bankruptcy was filed, and Pooley was adjudicated bankrupt on 22nd October, and he soon afterwards left England. On 13th May, 1880, the trustee obtained permission to prosecute Pooley for offences against bankruptcy law. Pooley was arrested in Paris on 1st June on a warrant issued on 22nd May. On 7th June an order was obtained to lodge the writ of attachment with the Governor of Newgate, and that Pooley when released from the criminal charge should be handed over to the Governor of Holloway Prison until he had purged his contempt. On 28th June, Pooley was discharged by the Guildhall Magistrate in respect of the charges in the warrant, and he was then taken to Holloway.\n\nCHANCERY DIVISION.\n\nHe applied (9th July) to Vice-Chancellor BACON to discharge him. The motion was refused with costs.\n\nCOURT OF APPEAL.\n\nFrom this order he appealed; and the Court, after hearing evidence, Held: Disobedience of an order of the High Court of Justice in a civil action, though a contempt of Court, is not an \"offence\" within the meaning of section 19 of the Extradition Act; and Pooley was therefore not entitled to his discharge until his contempt had been purged. If a warrant under the Extradition Act is obtained, not for the bona fide purpose of punishing a person for a crime, but with the indirect object of making him amenable to an attachment in a civil action, it will be an abuse of the process of the Court, and the attachment will be set aside.\n\nR. v. JACOBI AND HILLER.\n\nGermany.\n\n3rd March, 1881.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH: Pollock, B., and STEPHEN, J.\n\n46 L.T. (N.S.) 595, footnote.\n\nOn 23rd September, 1880, prisoners sent from Amsterdam a letter to Heininger & Co., Mayence, ordering furniture to be sent to Amsterdam. Heininger's agent called on them, and prisoners made certain alleged false statements. Furniture was supplied, sent by ordinary carrying agents to Amsterdam; it was not paid for, but was removed to England, and prisoners absconded to England. Warrants were issued at Mayence in December for the arrest of the prisoners, setting forth that they were \"suspected of fraud\" by having, with intent to procure illegal pecuniary profit, and by a promise of payment given in writing falsely and in bad faith, induced Heininger to forward furniture, thus causing pecuniary prejudice to the said firm.\n\n13\n\nThey were committed for extradition for \"obtaining goods by false pretences\"; and on application for rules nisi for writs of habeas corpus, it was\n\nContended: That if any offence had been committed it was in Holland and not in Germany; and that the German warrant of arrest was bad for insufficiency, as it did not state upon its face that the crime charged was the extradition offence of obtaining goods by false pretences, but set out a mere fraud which could be substantiated without proving a single false pretence for which they could be indicted in England; such mere fraud was not an extradition offence in the treaty.\n\nHeld: That the offence was committed in Germany, the property being actually parted with at Mayence: and that (referring to ex parte Terraz) the warrant was sufficient.\n\nPer POLLOCK, B.-It seems to me that upon all the sound principles the course of dealing of the prisoners was an obtaining of the goods in Mayence under false pretences: and the Magistrate decided upon evidence contained in those letters, which clearly show that there was false pretence, and that under those circumstances the offence was committed.\n\n(See ex parte Terras, L.R. 1 Ex.

Viceroy of Chengtu to Acting Consul-General Campbell.\n\nKuang Hsü, 31st year, 1st month, 26th day (March 1, 1905).\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you that I am in receipt of the following report from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs:-\n\n\"It is provided by Treaty that foreign merchants shall not open business establishments or warehouses in the interior, and as Chengtu is not an open port it accordingly comes within the scope of this rule. Last year two shops for the sale of foreign goods were opened in Chengtu - one in the name of the French merchant, Coffiney, one in that of the British merchant, Holland. As it was ascertained that both shops were opened by Chinese for the sale of goods belonging to foreign merchants, the owners were ordered, after an understanding was come to with the British Consul-General and the French Consul, to alter their sign-boards.\n\n\"It now appears that the British firm, Brunner, Mond, and Co., and the American firm, Jih Hsin, have opened shops inside and outside the city, and the Magistrates of the Chengtu and Hua-yang districts have been instructed to investigate and take action. However, in view of the number of years that have elapsed since the Regulations for foreign commerce above referred to were made, no foreign merchant can possibly be ignorant of their provisions; and as we fear that the personation of foreign firms by Chinese merchants may be detrimental to trade we feel it our duty to call attention to Treaty stipulations on the point, so that a proper discrimination may be shown. We would therefore suggest that the foreign Consuls in Chengtu be asked to direct the merchants of their respective nations in Chungking to follow Treaty provisions in future, in order to avoid the danger of Chinese merchants fraudulently assuming their names. Should, however, Chinese merchants repeat their former practices, it will then be easy for the local officials to deal with them as provided by Treaty.\"\n\nAs the request of the Bureau for Foreign Affairs contains nothing incompatible with Treaty stipulations, I have addressed the French and German Consuls on the matter, and have now the honour to request you to be so good as to issue instructions in the above sense.\n\n(Card attached.)\n\n## No. 1\n\nBoard of Trade to Foreign Office.~(Received June 9.)\n\nBoard of Trade, June 8, 1905.\n\nI AM directed by the Board of Trade to refer to your letter of the 12th ultimo, submitting a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Minister at Peking, forwarding a copy of the proposals drawn up by the Deutsche Vereinigung of Shanghae for the amendment of the Provisional Regulations for the registration of trade-marks in China, and, in reply to your inquiry as regards the proposal therein contained for the amendment of Article 26, I am to point out for the information of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that the proposal in question appears to have been framed before the receipt by Sir E. Satow of the draft amendments proposed by this Board, as the preliminary Memorandum to the amendments in which it is included is dated February 1905. In these circumstances, the Board of Trade think it would be desirable to ascertain, if possible, whether, since the receipt of the Board's proposals, any - and, if so, what - modifications have been made in the present and other proposals, of which a copy has been furnished to this Department.\n\nI have, &c.

W. Grant, Senior Assistant Master at Queen's College, with regard to his leave of absence.\n\n2. For some time prior to 1887 the Masters of Queen's College drew on leave only two months full pay during the months of school vacations. On the 9th February of that year Sir William Marsh in his Despatch No. 31 forwarded a memorial from the Head Master, Dr. G. H. Bateson Wright, requesting that educational officers in Hongkong should be allowed two months full pay leave, in addition to school vacations, after not less than six years service. This application was granted in Sir Henry Holland's Despatch No. 48 of the 5th April, 1887, which, however, pointed out that the effect of this would be to give these educational officers a total of two months on full pay.\n\n37974/00 in re: Sir A.

I happen to be the Chairman of the Committee and Rev. Dr. Paton and W. Gilbert Walshe, M.A., its Honorary Secretaries.\n\nLast Friday we received a letter from the well-known and much esteemed missionary, Rev. Dr. Timothy Richard, of Shanghae, dated the 14th January last. As it contains some rather alarming statements of the anti-foreign feeling in China, I feel that it may be my duty to inclose a copy for your perusal.\n\nI should be glad to have, if possible, a private and unofficial interview at an early date with you as to the present alleged anti-foreign attitude in China, and as to the proposed visit of the aforesaid Commission to China.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \n**FRANCIS WM.

        "content_text": "# Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\n## Whangpu Conservancy Board to M. Siffert.\n\nOffice of the Whangpu Conservancy Board, Shanghae, July 31, 1907.\n\nSir,\n\n**IN** accordance with the stipulations of Article 4 of the Agreement, signed in Peking on the 27th September, 1905, regarding the establishment of a Board, and with reference to our Report of the 20th April and previous Reports on this subject, we have now the honour to write as follows for the information of the Consular Body regarding conservancy matters for the period 1st April to the 30th June, 1907 :--\n\n2. **Appointments, &c., to Conservancy Staff.**—(a.) Foreign Staff-Mr. E. A. Smith (British) was appointed storekeeper from the 1st May, 1907; M. G. Frederickson (Swede), overseer from the 1st June; also M. G. Kipke (German).\n\n(b.) Native Staff-Mr. Kuang Han Kuang was appointed to the Pay Department from the 1st April; Mr. Shao Wei Tang, head tracer, resigned from the 15th June on account of ill-health; Mr. Y. T. Fon, survey clerk, from similar reasons, was replaced by Mr. K. S. Pai. There were a few other unimportant changes.\n\n3. **Land purchased at Gough Island.**-Fifteen title-deeds, representing mow 607.0.7.9 of land purchased at either end of Gough Island for 18,212:37 Shanghae taels, were sent by the Taotai to the Conservancy Office and deposited in the Secretary's safe.\n\n4. **Tenders for Large Works.**-On the strong recommendation of the Engineer-in-chief, M. de Rijke, it was decided to accept the tenders of the Dutch firm, Messrs. Ten Bokkel Hainink, Korthals Altes, van Thiel de Vries and Co., for the construction of the large training jetty at Woosung, to cost about 2,000,000 Shanghae taels, and for dredging purposes to expend a similar amount.\n\n5. **Work accomplished, &c.**—The following details are from M. de Rijke's Report to the Conservancy Board for the June quarter:---\n\n(a) Shore defence above Telegraph Creek.-Though gabbioni dumping preventing undermining by currents, the high water bank fell away in places on account of the wash of steamers. In order to prevent this, ballast stone was thrown, so as to form moles above low water. This stone can be recovered and used elsewhere when the route of the shipping is directed to junk channel.\n\n(b) Shore defence at Bar Mark-Here the under shore has been fortified by dumping 164 gabbioni in tiers over a shore length of 300 feet; 20 of these gabbioni in the lowest tiers are 30 feet long instead of the usual 24 feet. The slope above low water has been dressed with brush-wood and stone. Although the receding of the Pootang shore is much less than last year, it is found that more defence works will be necessary before the stream along ship channel can be sufficiently restrained.\n\n(c) Shore defence lower end of Gough Island. During April, for a length of 150 feet, the shore had to be dressed with brush-wood and stone to stop caving caused by wave action.\n\n(d) Shoals below Gough Island.-Dumping the gabbioni, which form the edges of the parallel dams, and of the six cribs on junk channel side, was completed by the end of April.\n\n(e) Sink Work. The sinking and placing of the bottom layer of brush-wood (\"zinkstuks\") in the long parallel dam was commenced on the 19th April, and had since continued uninterruptedly. By the end of June, 17,830 square yards of \"zinkstuks\" had been sunk, covering a length of 1,150 yards from the island to about 210 yards from the end of the dam. The breadth of the bottom layer is 45 feet, the usual measurements of the \"zinkstuks\" 120 by 45 feet. It is very satisfactory to note that a large part of the brush-wood has already silted up and become indestructible.\n\n(f) Crib Work on the South Side of Junk Channel.-The large training work below \"Duke End\" consists of three cribs, connected with a parallel dam, and having an aggregate length of nearly 1 mile. Dumping gabbionis for the bottom layer of this was commenced early in May with three pontoons, and completed in June. In order to check the currents in this (the wrong) direction, which are still tending to increase, dumping gabbionis on the top of the bottom layer has been vigorously continued. The proper and economical method of raising the crib works would be with layers of \"zinkstuks\" along the gabbioni, but this is impossible till the twelve sinkworkers engaged in Holland arrive. They are due in August. For the two double cribs at and below \"salient,\" gabbioni dumping commenced early in June; the bottom layers are nearly completed.\n\n(g) Gough Island Dyke and Store Places.-The new dyke from one end of the island to the other is now complete to its full height of 17 feet above low water. At the upper end of the island, inside the new dyke, a space of ground, occupying an area of about 15 mow, has been raised from 8 ft. 5 in. to 15 feet above low water for storing materials. The large bamboo shed and materials in store near Telegraph Creek have been brought here and new supplies of brush-wood landed. At the lower end of the island a much smaller space has been raised for similar purposes. Great difficulty is experienced in the Gough Island reach in landing and storing materials on account of the shoals, and because the land lying so low is flooded by high tides. No materials that float can be stored on the Pootung side of the island till the land is raised. Four culverts were built underneath the dyke in order not to interfere with the drainage of the cultivated land on Gough Island.\n\n6. **Houses, &c.**-The dwelling-house and office near the Woosung forts will probably be ready by the end of July. The Messageries Maritimes Company having granted us permission to build on their property near Woosung Station, as well as giving us a new lease for five years on very liberal terms, estimates have been made, and a contract drawn up for building a large house for the staff on this side.\n\nIn this connection it may be mentioned that the Shanghae-Nanking Railway Directors have kindly consented to establish a flag station at this junction instead of the present station, which is, we understand, to be done away with.\n\n7. **Plant.**-Two more pontoons have been built and fitted for dumping gabbionis, so that we have now five pontoons regularly at work. Two launches, the \"Chun Pao\" and a hired one, are daily in use transporting materials and coolies and towing \"zinkstuks\" to where they are sunk. The small launch \"Lee Chi\" is steadily at survey work. Eight hired cargo boats were at work in April, twelve in May, and sixteen in June, besides sampans.\n\n8. **Survey Work.** A new survey of junk channel, lately commenced, will soon be ready and mapped out, but from the soundings it is clear that the stream along junk channel, especially during the flood, has increased, but not in the desired direction between the normal lines, where, on the contrary, more silting is perceptible. As no dredgers are yet available, all that can be done to remedy this is to dump gabbioni in the dyke end crib work, where, as noted above, three pontoons are daily at this work.\n\nMr. Muller's quarterly survey report states the survey of the river has been completed from the arsenal to 3,400 feet above Lung Hua Pagoda Creek, a distance of 2 miles. The shore line from Pheasant Point to Fisherman's Cross remeasured and sounding lines run 400 feet apart from Pheasant Point to Kajow Creek.\n\nThe zeros of all tide gauges (15) have been fixed to permanent marks on shore. Two lots of land outside Woosung Lighthouse and two between signal station and limit beacon have been remeasured. The normal line has been marked outside the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha property below Yangking Creek. The Ocean Steam-ship Company and China Navigation Company properties above Yangking Creek were measured to ascertain the area of reclaimed land to be gained by building out to 50 feet inside the normal line.\n\nThe land between the native waterworks and French waterworks was measured and levelled.\n\nTwo sounding lines were run three times between the cribs outside the dyke end station (junk channel) to learn the effect laying gabbioni has had. A survey of the land between Woosung Lighthouse and Woosung Fort was completed and plotted. The large scale (1:500) maps of the whole survey-Woosung outer bar to above Lang Hua Pagoda Creek, a distance of 19 miles--have been reduced to a scale of 1:16,000, and can now be printed.\n\n9. **Detail of Works.**-Workmen employed during the quarter-coolies, boatmen, watchmen, fascine workers, &c.--represented :-\n\n| Month | Days' Wages |\n| --- | --- |\n| April | 4,997 |\n| May | 5,476 |\n| June | 7,217 |\n| Total | 17,690 |",

IN continuation of my despatches Nos. 89 and 94 of the 11th and 29th November, I have the honour to forward imitations of British salt, American soap, and condensed milk, and German socks, pencils, and soap purchased at a native shop which deals exclusively in Japanese products, and stated that each article was sold to it by Japanese.\n\nThe salt is an exact counterfeit as regards bottle and labels; it tastes somewhat saline and will not burn in the fire; the tablet of Colgate and Co.'s soap is only suspect.\n\nThe \"Eagle\" brand milk, described on the top of the tin as \"Austrian Alpine Milk,” on the label as \"prepared in Holland,\" and stamped in Chinese with the hong name of the China Mutual Life Insurance Company, is sold wrapped in a facsimile of the Borden Condensed Milk Company's wrapper. Like the spurious tin of Meyer and Co.'s condensed milk, this imitation may do immense harm, since in Hankow only sick persons and children are treated with condensed milk.\n\nThe alleged soap of Gustav Boehm, Offenbach and London, has inside the cover a wrapper of Japanese paper bearing a trade-mark different from the wafer sealing the ends of the cord.\n\nThe \"Gent's Yellow\" hose, \"waranded \" German, are sufficiently foreign to deceive a Chinese here who knows Carlowitz and Co. as the Li-ho foreign hong.\n\nThe four packets of pencils are all sold in the same box bearing the Swan Pencil Company's label. Two may be genuine, if inferior, Bavarian goods, though it will be noticed that the outer wrapper is easily removable; but the \"H.C. Kurz Best\" label is very suspicious. The \"Star\" packet confesses to a foreigner it is \"made in Oriental,\" but all a native would observe is the star on the pencil.\n\nOf close imitations of sundries except for the substitution in English of a Japanese for the foreign maker's name, my informant states there is no end in these native shops stocked from Japanese dealers.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nE. H. FRASER,\n\n(No. 140.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Sir P. Warren to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nShanghae, December 9, 1907. WITH reference to your telegram No. 60 of the 2nd ultimo on the subject of the imitation and use in China by Japanese of British trade-marks, and to my reply of the 7th instant, I have the honour to inclose herewith copy of the letter which I received from the Chairman of the China Association in reply to my request for further evidence in substantiation of the charges made to the Foreign Office by the Secretary of the Association in London.\n\nI also inclose, in original, the two Memoranda referred to in the Chairman's letter.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nPELHAM WARREN.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nChina Association to Consul-General Sir P. Warren.\n\nChina Association, Shanghae Branch, December 6, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your favour of the 3rd instant, and, in reply, beg to state that the only cases of infringements of trade-marks by Japanese that have come under the notice of my Committee have been-\n\nThe British-American Tobacco Company (Limited), eigarettes. Mouson et Cie., soap.\n\nBuchanan and Co., whisky.*\n\nThese firms have made no complaint to the Association; but the two former articles, originals and imitated, came into the hands of the Secretary, who forwarded same to the London Committee.\n\nMy Committee would, however, point out that it is in Changsha (where Dr. Morrison, Times\" correspondent, materially increased his collection of imitated trade-marks in one afternoon) and places in Manchuria, and not in Shanghae and the coast ports, where these infringements mostly exist, and they would suggest that the Commercial Attaché or a member of the Consular Service be detached to make a tour in the districts above mentioned. At the same time, I beg to assure you that my Committee will use their best endeavours to obtain specimens of infringed marks.\n\nI beg to inclose copies of two Memoranda on infringements of trade-marks drawn up by the London Secretary of the Association. I have, &c.\n\n(Signed) E. B. SKOTTOWE, Chairman.\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum (No. 2) respecting Japanese Infringements of Trade-marks.\n\nTHE Shanghae Committee write saying: \"We hear of infringements by the Japanese all round, but the getting of actual proofs is a difficult matter. I am, however, in correspondence with some firms in Japan, Dr. Morrison, and is Majesty's Consul at Changsha. I am forwarding, under registered cover, the actual proof of two cases which have come under my notice, and will, if any more come into my possession, press forward the same without delay.”\n\nThe samples forwarded consist of two packets of soap and two of cigarettes. Indeed, the more the question is studied the more apparent it becomes that these Japanese infringements are to be looked for alone among classes of goods, such as soap, candies, matches, biscuits, cigarettes and whisky, the proprietors of which are not organized for mutual protection, and that the comparative freedom from the effects of piracy of the China piece-goods trade is measurably due to the influence and disciplinary powers possessed by the local piece-goods guilds.\n\nAn examination of the samples forwarded confirms the view expressed by a correspondent in the \"Japan Herald\" of the 21st June (p. 715) that the productions of foreign firms are imitated \"with poor success as to quality, but excellent resemblances as to labels, &c.\" The European cake of \"Savon à la Rose\" arrived intact, but the Japanese cake similar in colour and embossed with the same Chinese characters was crumbled considerably. The adornment of the boxes containing the cakes is identical, save only in the respect of the name of the manufacturer. These are quite different, Mouson et Cie., Frankfort-sur-Main, on the one, and Shuko and Co. on the other, but the difference loses its force when it is seen that the name of the manufacturer is the least distinctive portion of either label. It would take too much space to describe the labels in detail, but they can be seen at any time at the offices of the Association. Although the device of roses, the border and the name and description of the soaps are identical on the outside of both packets, Messrs. Mouson et Cie. have unfortunately placed their \"marque de fabrique only on a loose slip of paper on the inside. Taking advantage of this, Messrs. 'T. H. Shuken and Co.

        "content_text": "Reports were to be furnished by each province at the close of each year as to the measures taken to decrease cultivation and consumption of opium, while the Board of Finance was to provide the funds required to replace the prospective diminution of revenue from the opium tax. The Memorial (Appendix (A)) reviewed the steps taken by China in the matter and the negotiations with foreign Powers and the Government of India.\n\nThe Decree of the 7th April (Appendix (B)) followed. Under this instrument Prince Kung and other high officers of State were appointed Imperial Commissioners to enforce the application of the prohibition in the case of persons holding official positions. Within three months the Prohibition Commissioners were to establish a special Department for the purpose of weeding out of the public service all those addicted to the drug.\n\nIt was foreseen that the duties imposed upon them were not likely to prove agreeable or popular, and they were consequently exhorted to perform them fearlessly and not to be influenced by personal considerations.\n\nThe high rank and character of the Commissioners left no doubt of the sincerity of the Court's intentions.\n\nThe supervisory Regulations which the Boards of Finance and of the Interior were called upon to prepare were approved by an Imperial Rescript of the 23rd May (Appendix (C)).\n\nIt was recognized that the most important step to be taken was the restriction of the growth of the poppy, and the provincial authorities in the Regulations were called upon periodically to furnish detailed reports on the area in cultivation, and to enforce the proposed annual reduction.\n\nThe revenue question, which has hitherto been one of the chief obstacles to a thorough compliance with the previous Edicts in the provinces, was left for further consideration. Public hongs were to be established in every province for the purchase and sale of native opium, and rules were laid down for the more efficient regulation of shops and dens, of smokers, and the cure of those addicted to smoking, also for the encouragement of Anti-Opium Societies and for the distribution of medicines. Rewards in the shape of promotion were held out to those who conscientiously carried out the Imperial wishes, whilst punishments are provided for those who fail to do their duty.\n\nThe apathy of the provincial authorities, to which allusion has been made, is to be noticed chiefly in a growing indifference as to whether the rules of the Decree of November 1906 are stringently carried out or not. Generally speaking, smokers do not take out licences. Dens, though officially closed, are in many cases surreptitiously opened. Opium shops are only spasmodically inspected, while Anti-Opium Societies are gradually dying a natural death from lack of funds or interest, or both.\n\nThough there are exceptions to this state of affairs in certain districts, due to enlightened officials, especially in the coast provinces, it cannot be said that officials in general have fully carried out the duty of leading the movement imposed upon them by the Court.\n\nTwo principal reasons may be assigned for this apathy, namely, the fact that so many public officials are still addicted to the drug, and further the question of provincial finances, and of finding revenue to replace that at present derived from opium. This latter question is still left for future consideration, no concrete proposals having yet been made.\n\nOn the whole, it may be said in regard to the Anti-Opium Regulations that officials showing sufficient force of character to uphold them are almost sure of support from the people, prompted as the latter are by the force of public opinion, a force formerly unknown in China and of recent growth, but which is well upheld by the native press, and the incipient moral education of the nation and the awakening of a national conscience. The Times' correspondent has aptly used the expression \"bad form\" in describing the view of the educated Chinese towards opium smoking in public, and should this sentiment gain in moral force there seems no reason why it should not develop into \"losing face,\" that most powerful of all rules of conduct in China, corresponding either to \"dishonourable\" or \"ungentlemanlike,\" as the case may be.\n\nPage 66\n\nIn accordance with the 10th Article of the Anti-Opium Decree, China was to enter into negotiations with the object of prohibiting the importation of foreign opium. Very material progress has been made in this direction, and, as far as Great Britain is concerned, the negotiations are concluded, and the measures agreed upon are already in operation.\n\n3\n\nBriefly summarized, they are as follows:-\n\nThe Indian Government reduce the gross export from India, taken on the basis of 51,000 chests, by 5,100 chests per annum, to commence from 1908 (not 1905), an arrangement which continues for three years, and will be proceeded with until the export trade from India thus extinguishes itself automatically within the ten years' limit prescribed by the Chinese Government for the abolition of opium in China, provided always that China during these three years has proportionately reduced the production and consumption of Chinese opium, and has similarly arranged for the reduction of the importation of Turkish and other opium. The good-will of the Indian Government was manifested by the practical application of the proposed annual reduction of export without waiting for the conclusion by the Chinese Government of arrangements for the reduction of the import of Turkish, Persian, and other opium, which chiefly finds its way to China viâ Hong Kong. This latter question has been settled in the following just and reasonable manner by the Chinese Government, neither Turkey nor Persia being Treaty Powers, the system adopted being similar to that now in force in regard to Indian opium.\n\nFrom the 1st January, 1909, any merchant wishing to import into any open port in China any Persian or Turkish opium must apply to the Commissioner of Customs at Kowloon for a special permit—one for each chest of opium. This permit shall state that the opium may be shipped to any open port in China, and that, on its arrival, duty and likin will be paid in accordance with the Regulations. Any Persian or Turkish opium shipped to China for which this special permit cannot be produced shall be confiscated.\n\nTaking 1,125 piculs as the mean annual import of Persian and Turkish opium, this quantity shall be reduced every year by one-ninth, i.e., 125 piculs. Thus in 1909 special permits will only be issued for 1,000 piculs, and by making a similar reduction annually the import will entirely cease in nine years.\n\nAfter 1916 no more special permits will be issued, and the import into China of Persian and Turkish opium, as well as that of Indian opium, will be completely suspended.\n\n2\n\nThe special permits will only be issued to merchants who have hitherto, to the knowledge of the Imperial Maritime Customs, been engaged in the trade in Turkish and Persian opium. In fixing the number of special permits to be issued annually to each merchant, the total import during the two years 1906-7, and the quantities imported by each merchant during those years, will be taken as a basis, the number of permits being annually decreased. With regard to the importation of \"other kinds of opium\" into China, she must make arrangements with the Treaty Powers. No particulars are available as to the place of origin, but the quantity is so trifling, amounting in 1906 to 64 piculs only, which is said to have been all re-exported, that the Chinese Government do not consider the matter worth noticing in their anti-opium schemes. It would, however, seem advisable to come to definite arrangements with all Treaty Powers on the subject, even with those at present not interested in the opium trade. Neither France, Holland, America, nor Japan allow the cultivation of the poppy in their Colonies and possessions in the Far East, which thus practically reduces the other opium-producing countries to India, Persia, and Turkey.\n\nFrom various quarters in China it is announced that the price of foreign opium is rising, and this increase is likely to continue in proportion to the reduction of production in China and of importation from abroad, except in the somewhat improbable contingency of the demand for the drug decreasing proportionately to the reduction of supply. There can be no doubt that foreign opium is superior both in quality and strength to the native product, consequently a great stimulus will be given to smuggling in a country where people attach more importance to quality than to price. Moreover, possessing great value in small bulk, and being by the simplest process reduced to a marketable commodity, it is not improbable that, unless all the Treaty Powers agree to the eventual cessation of the import of the drug into China, the desire of high profits may cause poppy crops to appear in places to which it is at present a stranger with a view to the introduction of the drug into China.\n\nThe other arrangements concluded with Great Britain are fully set forth in the Chinese Memorial to the Throne (Appendix (A)), and are briefly as follows:-\n\nA Chinese official will be sent to Calcutta to watch the opium auctions and packing, but will have no other authority, and in this connection it might be thought advisable that corresponding British officials should be sent to observe the reduction of\n\nPage 161",

The difficulty of ascertaining the dues levied on native opium and its price have necessitated the postponement of the question of the increase of the import duty on foreign opium desired by the Chinese Government.\n\nIn regard to the trade in prepared opium between China and Hong Kong, it was decided that each country should take steps to prevent smuggling into its own territory, and that the trade in prepared opium should be prohibited. The Chinese Government have issued the necessary instructions in the matter, and the Government of Hong Kong are now preparing the legislation required for the purpose.\n\nIn regard to the suppression of opium in foreign Concessions, no dens exist in any British Concession, and the few opium shops which still exist in the British Concession at Chinkiang have only received their licences for this year; they will not be renewed, and are revocable with compensation at any moment.\n\nAt Shanghai the question of the opium dens in the International Settlement has been at last settled, and both the Viceroy and the Shanghai Missionary Association have expressed their satisfaction with the solution. They are to be reduced by a quarter, commencing from the 1st July, 1908, this being part of a programme of periodical reductions which will extend over a term of two years, or possibly less.\n\nThe morphia question, unfortunately, still remains in statu quo, all the Powers having agreed to the prohibition of importation into China of morphia and instruments for injection with the exception of Japan. The sympathy of Great Britain with China in the anti-opium crusade, and her anxiety not to be behindhand in the movement, has recently been manifested by the decision of the Home Government to abolish opium in all forms in Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, Hong Kong, and presumably Wei-hai Wei.\n\nThe Joint Commission for the investigation of the opium question in the Far East proposed by the United States is to meet at Shanghai on the 1st January, 1909, all the Powers concerned having agreed to an investigation, namely, Great Britain, China, France, United States, Japan, Holland, Portugal, and Germany. The idea of the Government of the United States is that the Commission of each Government should proceed independently and immediately with the investigation of the question on behalf of its respective country with the following objects in view:\n\n1. To devise means to limit the use of opium in the possessions of that country. 2. To ascertain the best means of suppressing the opium traffic, if such now exists, among the nationals of that Government in the Far East.\n\n3. To be in a position so that when the Commission meets in Shanghai the Representatives of the various Powers may be prepared to co-operate and to offer, jointly or severally, definite suggestions of measures which their respective Governments may adopt, looking to the gradual suppression of opium cultivation, traffic, and use within their Eastern possessions, thus assisting China in her purpose of eradicating the evil in the Empire.\n\nThe manner in which the investigation is to be conducted will be decided upon by the Commissioners after they shall have met, but none of the Governments represented will be bound to accept the conclusions of the Commissioners or to act upon their recommendations. Each Government will reserve to itself the right to act as it may see fit.\n\nAs far as Great Britain and China are concerned, the measures decided upon by them, and already in operation, have anticipated the proposals contemplated in No. 1 and No. 2. Indeed, such general progress has been made by these two countries in combating the evil since the opening of the anti-opium campaign that, beyond the moral approval and encouragement which the assembling of the Commission will no doubt impart, it is difficult to see what useful purpose it can now serve. It may be of interest to explain the position in regard to opium in which the countries who are to be represented on the Commission now stand,\n\nFrance.\n\nThe following particulars are derived from a long and interesting Report on the opium question recently presented to the Governor of French Indo-China by a Commission presided over by M. Hardouin:\n\n5\n\nIn September 1900 the Chinese Minister in Paris approached the French Government on the opium question in French Indo-China, requesting the co-operation\n\nof the French Government in the project of reform. Similar appeals were made to other Powers interested in the question. China desired the closing of dens in the French Concessions in China, to raise the import duty on imported opium, the prohibition of the sale of opium utensils, and of the importation of morphia and instruments for injection.\n\nIn reply the French Government expressed the opinion that the gradual suppression of opium appeared to them an excellent measure, and that, although the poppy was not cultivated in French Colonies, they were ready to assist China in the proposed reform. France agreed to the proposed increase of the duty on foreign opium, subject to the assent of the other Powers, as also the prohibition of importation of morphia and injecting instruments and the regulation of the use of opium in French Concessions, subject to the enforcement of similar measures in other Concessions. The eventual increase of the duty on the export of opium from Yunnan, fixed by the Convention of the 24th June, 1887, was reserved for future agreement between the two Governments.\n\nPoppy cultivation not being permitted, the French Colonies are dependent on foreign opium for their requirements, the supply formerly coming almost entirely from the south-west provinces of China, notably Yunnan. The steps taken by the French colonial authorities to reduce the importation of Chinese opium have resulted in a diminution of importation from 4,730 piculs in 1896 to 638 piculs in 1907, though no doubt large quantities are still smuggled across the extensive Yunnan frontier. The amount consumed shows a steady decrease from 120,411 kilog. (270,959 lbs.) in 1904 to 93,083 kilog. (209,437 lbs.) in 1907. Over half of this quantity is consumed in Cochin-China, the remainder in Cambodia, Tonkin, Annam, and Laos. The part consumed by Europeans is insignificant, while the native smokers are restricted principally to the agricultural classes.\n\nThe course suggested to the Governor by the Commissioners as most suited to the requirements of the case is as follows:\n\n1. To raise the price of prepared opium.\n\n2. To prohibit the sale of dross.\n\n3. To limit the sale of opium in shops.\n\n4. Gradually to close public smoking resorts, commencing by those in the less important centres.\n\nThe Commissioners further advised that steps should be taken to bring the pernicious effects of the opium habit to the knowledge of the people, and that smokers should in future be excluded from public offices.\n\nOpium is a Government monopoly and the source of considerable revenue. Between the years 1904 and 1907, inclusive, the average gross revenue from this source amounted to £672,400, which, after deducting the expenses of collecting, left £420,400.\n\nThe Commissioners suggested the following procedure with a view to supplementing the reduced revenue:\n\n1. To raise the customs duty on certain articles imported from the Far East, chiefly used by Chinese.\n\n2. To raise the consumption tax on tobacco and mineral oils.\n\n3. The creation of a Government lottery in the style of those existing in certain European countries.\n\nGermany.\n\nThe interests of Germany in the question would appear to be of an academic nature, and her inclusion in the Commission is doubtless due to her position as a great nation in temporary occupation of Kiauchow.\n\nHolland.\n\nOpium is a Government monopoly in the Dutch islands, sometimes administered directly by the official authorities, and sometimes sublet. Poppy cultivation has been prohibited since 1872. The action which will be taken in the Dutch colonial possessions will, it is said, shortly form the subject of discussion in the Parliament at The Hague, while the chief difficulty to be overcome in the matter is the revenue question.\n\n[1844 y-1]\n\nC\n\n162",

Neither France, Holland, America, nor Japan allow the cultivation of the poppy in their Colonies and possessions in the Far East, which thus practically reduces the other opium-producing countries to India, Persia, and Turkey.\n\nFrom various quarters in China it is announced that the price of foreign opium is rising, and this increase is likely to continue in proportion to the reduction of production in China and of importation from abroad, except in the somewhat improbable contingency of the demand for the drug decreasing proportionately to the reduction of supply. There can be no doubt that foreign opium is superior both in quality and strength to the native product, consequently a great stimulus will be given to smuggling in a country where people attach more importance to quality than to price. Moreover, possessing great value in small bulk, and being by the simplest process reduced to a marketable commodity, it is not improbable that, unless all the Treaty Powers agree to the eventual cessation of the import of the drug into China, the desire of high profits may cause poppy crops to appear in places to which it is at present a stranger with a view to the introduction of the drug into China.\n\nThe other arrangements concluded with Great Britain are fully set forth in the Chinese Memorial to the Throne (Appendix (A)), and are briefly as follows:--\n\nA Chinese official will be sent to Calcutta to watch the opium auctions and packing, but will have no other authority, and in this connection it might be thought advisable that corresponding British officials should be sent to observe the reduction of\n\n616",

The difficulty of ascertaining the dues levied on native opium and its price have necessitated the postponement of the question of the increase of the import duty on foreign opium desired by the Chinese Government.\n\nIn regard to the trade in prepared opium between China and Hong Kong, it was decided that each country should take steps to prevent smuggling into its own territory, and that the trade in prepared opium should be prohibited. The Chinese Government have issued the necessary instructions in the matter, and the Government of Hong Kong are now preparing the legislation required for the purpose.\n\nIn regard to the suppression of opium in foreign Concessions, no dens exist in any British Concession, and the few opium shops which still exist in the British Concession at Chinkiang have only received their licences for this year; they will not be renewed, and are revocable with compensation at any moment.\n\nAt Shanghae the question of the opium dens in the International Settlement has been at last settled, and both the Viceroy and the Shanghae Missionary Association have expressed their satisfaction with the solution. They are to be reduced by a quarter, commencing from the 1st July, 1908, this being part of a programme of periodical reductions which will extend over a term of two years, or possibly less.\n\nThe morphia question still remains in statu quo, all the Powers having agreed to the prohibition of importation into China of morphia and instruments for injection with the exception of Japan. The sympathy of Great Britain with China in the anti-opium crusade, and her anxiety not to be behindhand in the movement, has recently been manifested by the decision of the Home Government to abolish opium in all forms in Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, Hong Kong, and presumably Wei-hai Wei.\n\nThe Joint Commission for the investigation of the opium question in the Far East proposed by the United States is to meet at Shanghae on the 1st January, 1909, all the Powers concerned having agreed to an investigation, namely, Great Britain, China, France, United States, Japan, Holland, Portugal, and Germany. The idea of the Government of the United States is that the Commission of each Government should proceed independently and immediately with the investigation of the question on behalf of its respective country with the following objects in view:--\n\n1. To devise means to limit the use of opium in the possessions of that country.\n\n2. To ascertain the best means of suppressing the opium traffic, if such now exists, among the nationals of that Government in the Far East.\n\n3. To be in a position so that when the Commission meets in Shanghae the Representatives of the various Powers may be prepared to co-operate and to offer, jointly or severally, definite suggestions of measures which their respective Governments may adopt, looking to the gradual suppression of opium cultivation, traffic, and use within their Eastern possessions, thus assisting China in her purpose of eradicating the evil in the Empire.\n\nThe manner in which the investigation is to be conducted will be decided upon by the Commissioners after they shall have met, but none of the Governments represented will be bound to accept the conclusions of the Commissioners or to act upon their recommendations. Each Government will reserve to itself the right to act as it may see fit.\n\nAs far as Great Britain and China are concerned, the measures decided upon by them, and already in operation, have anticipated the proposals contemplated in No. 1 and No. 2. Indeed, such general progress has been made by these two countries in combating the evil since the opening of the anti-opium campaign that, beyond the moral approval and encouragement which the assembling of the Commission will no doubt impart, it is difficult to see what useful purpose it can now serve.\n\nIt may be of interest to explain the position in regard to opium in which the countries who are to be represented on the Commission now stand.\n\nFrance.\n\nThe following particulars are derived from a long and interesting Report on the opium question recently presented to the Governor of French Indo-China by a Commission presided over by M. Hardouin:--\n\nIn September 1900 the Chinese Minister in Paris approached the French Government on the opium question in French Indo-China, requesting the co-operation of the French Government in the project of reform. Similar appeals were made to other Powers interested in the question. China desired the closing of dens in the French Concessions in China, to raise the import duty on imported opium, the prohibition of the sale of opium utensils, and of the importation of morphia and instruments for injection.\n\nIn reply the French Government expressed the opinion that the gradual suppression of opium appeared to them an excellent measure, and that, although the poppy was not cultivated in French Colonies, they were ready to assist China in the proposed reform. France agreed to the proposed increase of the duty on foreign opium, subject to the assent of the other Powers, as also the prohibition of importation of morphia and injecting instruments and the regulation of the use of opium in French Concessions, subject to the enforcement of similar measures in other Concessions. The eventual increase of the duty on the export of opium from Yunnan, fixed by the Convention of the 24th June, 1887, was reserved for future agreement between the two Governments.\n\nPoppy cultivation not being permitted, the French Colonies are dependent on foreign opium for their requirements, the supply formerly coming almost entirely from the south-west provinces of China, notably Yünnan. The steps taken by the French colonial authorities to reduce the importation of Chinese opium have resulted in a diminution of importation from 4,730 piculs in 1906 to 638 piculs in 1907, though no doubt large quantities are still smuggled across the extensive Yünnan frontier. The amount consumed shows a steady decrease from 120,411 kilog. (270,959 lbs.) in 1904 to 93,083 kilog. (209,437 lbs.) in 1907. Over half of this quantity is consumed in Cochin-China, the remainder in Cambodia, Tonquin, Annam, and Laos. The part consumed by Europeans is insignificant, while the native smokers are restricted principally to the agricultural classes.\n\nThe course suggested to the Governor by the Commissioners as most suited to the requirements of the case is as follows:----\n\n1. To raise the price of prepared opium.\n\n2. To prohibit the sale of dross.\n\n3. To limit the sale of opium in shops.\n\n4. Gradually to close public smoking resorts, commencing by those in the less important centres.\n\nThe Commissioners further advised that steps should be taken to bring the pernicious effects of the opium habit to the knowledge of the people, and that smokers should in future be excluded from public offices.\n\nOpium is a Government monopoly and the source of considerable revenue. Between the years 1904 and 1907, inclusive, the average gross revenue from this source amounted to 672,400l., which, after deducting the expenses of collecting, left 420,400l.\n\nThe Commissioners suggested the following procedure with a view to supplementing the reduced revenue:----\n\n1. To raise the customs duty on certain articles imported from the Far East, chiefly used by Chinese.\n\n2. To raise the consumption tax on tobacco and mineral oils.\n\n3. The creation of a Government lottery in the style of those existing in certain European countries.\n\nGermany.\n\nThe interests of Germany in the question would appear to be of an academic nature, and her inclusion in the Commission is doubtless due to her position as a great nation in temporary occupation of Kiauchow.\n\nHolland.\n\nOpium is a Government monopoly in the Dutch islands, sometimes administered directly by the official authorities, and sometimes sublet. Poppy cultivation has been prohibited since 1872. The action which will be taken in the Dutch colonial possessions will, it is said, shortly form the subject of discussion in the Parliament at The Hague, while the chief difficulty to be overcome in the matter is the revenue question.\n\n[890 K]\n\n617",

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received December 7.)\n\nPeking, November 4, 1908.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 422 of the 21st September last, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Consul-General at Shanghae respecting the charges made against the Dutch firm of contractors who are carrying out the dredging operations at that port.\n\nYou will observe that Sir Pelham Warren has learnt on good authority that these charges have been substantiated to a considerable extent as the result of the inquiry which has been held, and that the loss to the Chinese authorities probably amounts to a sum of 75,000 dollars (£6,250), or half the amount estimated by Mr. Ku Hung Ming, who originally preferred the charges.\n\nIt is most unfortunate that foreign integrity should have been in any way compromised in an enterprise of great public utility to China and all the Powers in Treaty relations with her.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1\n\n(No. 96.) Sir,\n\nConsul-General Sir P. Warren to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nShanghae, October 21, 1908.\n\nI HAD the honour to address you on the 10th and 14th ultimo with reference to certain irregularities that are alleged to have arisen in connection with the dredging operations which are being carried out by a Dutch firm of contractors on behalf of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board.\n\nThe consent of the Viceroy having been obtained, an investigation into the matter has been held by the Commissioner of Customs and the Shanghae Taotai. The result has not yet been made public, but I learn on good authority that the charges made by Mr. Ku Hung Ming have, to a considerable extent, been substantiated, and that the contractors have unquestionably been guilty of serious malpractices of the nature described in my previous despatches. What the loss to the Chinese Government has been, it has been found impossible as yet to estimate. It has certainly not amounted to the sum mentioned by Mr. Ku Hung Ming, but may quite possibly amount to 75,000 dollars, or one-half his estimate.\n\nThe Commissioner of Customs, on the advice, I understand, of M. de Rijke, has proposed to the Taotai that, as a punishment, the contractors be called upon to dredge, free of charge, double the amount of material that on further investigation they may be found to have returned in excess of the actual quantity dredged. To this suggestion the Taotai demurs, preferring, I believe, that the penalty inflicted should be in the nature of a fine. The decision will rest with the Viceroy, to whom the Taotai and the Commissioner will report in person in the course of the next few days.\n\nThe contractors, whose good name, both in Shanghae and in Holland, has been seriously compromised by the scandal, are unlikely, I am told, to object to any reasonable penalty that may be inflicted upon them.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) PELHAM L. WARREN.\n\n[2049 g-2]",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nDr. Stedman, who writes that he examined the Volunteer Brand and finds that it contains all the nutritive properties that are contained in skimmed milk, and that there are no injurious preservatives added to it. It is not advisable to bring up a baby under a year old on skimmed milk only, because owing to the removal of the cream there is not a sufficient percentage of fatty matter left to satisfy the wants of the human infant, but there is nothing actually injurious to the infant in skimmed milk, and where poor persons cannot afford to buy whole milk, skimmed milk is a much more suitable food for a baby than many of the patent infant foods that are so extensively used in these days, and it is still more suitable than a pap made of rice and water which is often employed for babies by the poorer classes in this Colony.\n\nWhat labels, and if purchasers are supplied with tins bearing labels on which disparaging words are printed, they may repudiate the purchase. The result would be very serious to a legitimate trade. In conclusion, I can only ask you to bear in mind the warning which I have uttered, following the warning uttered by eminent expert authorities in England, that the probable effect of the legislation will be to drive the poorer people in the Colony to the inferior food, such as rice water pap, for their children, as they could not possibly pay the high price for the better kind of article, and the last case of the child after the Council's legislation will be worse than the first.\n\nCounsel then withdrew.\n\n## THE COLONIAL SECRETARY\n\nI desire to address a few remarks to the Council in reply to the speech made by Sir Henry Berkeley. In the first place, I wish to correct his statement that the minute of the Government Analyst as printed in the sessional paper is not identically the same as the one I read at our last meeting. It was then my humiliating duty to say that the official members of the Council knew little about milk as a beverage, and in consequence, I felt constrained to read the opinion given by an expert. I read a minute by Mr. Franklin, and I have compared what I read with the minute as printed in the sessional paper, and I find that they are identical, the only difference being that certain explanatory remarks of mine are included in the report of the minute as read.\n\nSir Henry said it was unnecessary to place the words \"should not be used for feeding children under one year of age\" on the labels, because it could not be proved that condensed skimmed milk was injurious to such children. I would like to call attention to the fact that the manufacturers in some cases of their own accord have labelled their tins of skimmed milk as unsuitable for infants. I hold in my hand a copy of the **Chemical News** dated November 8th, 1907. In it, on page 225, appears an article entitled \"Further Analyses of Condensed Milk,\" by F. T. Lloyd, A.R.C.S., Consulting Chemist to the British Dairy Farmers' Association. He says that the makers of a brand of machine-skimmed milk made in Holland, to which he refers as Sample A88, \"print on the label surrounding the tin- Unsuitable for the use of infants and invalids.\"\n\nMr. Lloyd adds: \"Probably much of the ill-health among children, frequently attributed to the consumption of impure fresh milk, if investigated, would be found to be due to the use of condensed machine-skimmed milk.\" No doubt, Sir Henry would regard Mr. Lloyd as one of the hostile narrow minority. But that minority (if indeed it is a minority, which I take leave to doubt) is certainly not a narrow one; for it appears from p. 387 of the **Law and Chemistry of Food and Drugs**, by Messrs. Robinson and Gibb (1895) that in 1892 a memorial signed by over 7,000 members of the medical profession was forwarded to the Right Hon. H. H. Fowler, and that this memorial, after expressing the opinion that the matter \"urgently calls for legislative action,\" concluded with the following recommendation: \"We think it very desirable that an enactment should be obtained to the following effect: Condensed Milk from which any of the cream has been removed must be conspicuously labelled 'Condensed Skim Milk' in large and legible type, and on labels pertaining to the article, the word 'milk' must not be used unless preceded by the word 'skim' or 'skimmed' in equally bold type.\"\n\nIt may be contended that this will be sufficiently met by inserting on the label the words \"machine-skimmed milk\" without any addition to the effect that such milk should not be used for feeding children under one year of age. But this is clearly not the case, for in the first place, the words \"machine skimmed,\" even if carefully translated into Chinese, do not convey any clear meaning to the Chinese vendor of the poorer classes.\n\nMoreover, as Messrs. Robinson and Gibb say: A serious and even dangerous fraud has been committed by the sale of condensed separated milk, with a notification, it is true, but one of distinctly fraudulent character, which is backed up by equally misleading directions for the use of the preparation. They add: From the point of the infant consumer, fed, as many children of the poorest classes are, almost exclusively on condensed milk, the offence is a serious one indeed.\n\nIn China, this fraud takes the following form. Look, for instance, at the Chinese labels on the tins of \"Volunteer Brand\" and \"Baby Brand\" milk which have just been placed upon the table by Sir Henry Berkeley. These brands are those referred to as A and B respectively in Mr. Franklin's minute of the 1st ult. on page 5 of the sessional paper. I have obtained from the Registrar-General an English translation of these Chinese labels. That on the Volunteer Brand begins as follows: \"The Soldier's brand milk is condensed pure milk of milch cows extracted by means of machinery.\" The Asst. Registrar-General appends the following note: \"The Chinese is not very clear, but the meaning apparently is that the cows are milked by machinery.\"\n\nA rendering has just been handed to me made at the Council table this afternoon by the senior unofficial member (Dr. Ho Kai). He renders the label: \"This Soldier's brand milk is pure milk extracted by machinery from a yellow cow.\" In the case of the Baby Brand milk, the name and the trade-mark -- a baby drinking from a milk bottle -- are calculated to mislead. In Chinese, the name of this milk is translated \"Fat baby brand milk,\" and the translation proceeds: \"The milk is made from the milk of young and strong cows, mixed with nothing but sugar of the best quality. It forms an excellent and nourishing food. For cooking, mix four or five parts of water with one of milk. For infants, mix fourteen parts of water with one of condensed milk. Decrease the proportion of water according to the age of the infant.\"\n\nWho could learn from such a label as that that \"Baby Brand\" milk, when diluted as recommended, would contain so only 0.04 per cent. of fat, less even than \"Volunteer Brand\"? Sir Henry Berkeley quoted an opinion given by Dr. Stedman, and printed on page 3 of the sessional paper. I desire, therefore, to state that, since the last meeting of the Council, the proposed legislation has been referred to the Medical Board, of which Dr. Stedman is honorary secretary, and that I hold in my hand the reply of ...\n\n## HIS EXCELLENCY\n\nMay I interrupt my hon. friend in order to inform the Committee that an independent translation ...\n\n## THE COLONIAL SECRETARY\n\n... the same label recites that \"For culinary purposes it (i.e., Volunteer Brand Machine Skimmed Milk) is everywhere used in substitution for fresh milk, and it is used in hospitals for infants; these facts testify to its great superiority.\" If this Bill must be passed as it stands, I suggest that the words \"unless supplemented by some fatty food\" follow \"under one year of age,\" because on the evidence of Dr. Clark himself, it is clear that even in the case of the hostile narrow minority, the separated skimmed milk is a food which might be given to children if supplemented with some fatty matter. I do not say that is the shape the Bill should take, but I submit that if the words complained of are not eliminated altogether, the only alternative is the words I have asked to be added.\n\nIn any case, I submit that the operation of the Bill should be postponed for a considerable time, say, six months, to enable dealers to complete their present contracts. The article is sold by sample. Tins must have certain labels.\n\nPage 114  \nPage 115",

It is true that, in that minute, there is an implied censure for my having failed to put in writing a certain order issued verbally by me; but as that order was admittedly received by the officers concerned, I cannot think that this, alone, is the reason for my having been mulcted of $750. I am therefore still at a loss to conceive what the ultimate reason may be, and hence am unable to present my side of the matter.\n\n3. The theft of the money took place just a year ago, and I remained in the Colony for more than three months after that date. At any time during that period I could have refuted any charges made against me. Yet no such charges were made, but instead I was judged and condemned unheard.

        "content_text": "3. The clauses given in italics had, however, been the subject of objection by other Powers. His Majesty's Government could not admit the discussion of clauses (k), (l), (m), and (n). The French Government likewise objected to (l) and (m), and reserved their opinion about (a), while also objecting to (i); and the Russian Government objected to (f). On the other hand, the British Government laid down as a condition of their participation in the conference that it should also deal with the question of stringent restrictions on the manufacture and trade in morphine and cocaine, and this condition was accepted by the other participating Powers.\n\nThe Italian Government, again, suggested that the conference might advantageously deal with drugs produced from the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa or indica).\n\n4. Our instructions, communicated to us in your despatch of the 29th November, 1911, emphasised the fact that His Majesty's Government held it essential that \"the conference should thoroughly and completely deal with the question of restricting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of morphine and cocaine.\" This, indeed, you added, \"is a subject to which His Majesty's Government attach especial importance in view of the spread of the morphia and cocaine habit in India, in China, and in other Eastern countries. Indian and Chinese experience shows that legislation against the importation of morphia and cocaine must fail to be thoroughly effective owing to the ease with which it can be evaded in practice, and consequently suggests the desirability of co-operation on the part of the home and foreign Governments in the shape of control over manufacture and distribution.\" We were therefore to use our best efforts to secure the assistance of the Governments represented at the conference towards obtaining this end.\n\n5. Our instructions went on to indicate the various points (specified above) in the original American tentative programme for the conference to which His Majesty's Government had taken exception and which therefore they were not prepared to discuss. We were further told that the following matters should also be considered as excluded from treatment by the conference:\n\n(1) The arrangements made between His Majesty's Government and China respecting the progressive restriction of the importation and production of opium in China.\n\n(2) All other existing treaties between the two countries.\n\n(3) Any resolution specifically affecting the domestic regulation of the production and use of opium and cognate questions of internal administration in India or any portion of the British dominions.\n\nWe were, therefore, to refuse to discuss these subjects, although not precluded from communicating to the conference, if desired, any information in regard to systems of regulation in India or the colonies that might be of assistance in its labours.\n\n6. In accordance with this last proviso, Sir William Meyer submitted to the conference a paper dealing with the measures taken by the Indian Government to control and restrict the consumption of raw opium in India, and a second paper treating of the policy adopted in Burma, where the usual method of consumption is the smoking of prepared opium. This latter memorandum also referred to the measures taken by the Indian Government against the smoking habit in the rest of India. At a later stage, a memorandum was likewise put in showing the methods taken in British colonies, mainly those in the Far East, to restrict the consumption of opium, morphine, and cocaine. These memoranda are included in Vol. II of the conference proceedings, but as we shall have occasion to refer to them occasionally, we append copies of them (Appendices I to III).\n\nWe may add that we were furnished with a copy of the Government of India's clear and exhaustive expression of their actions, difficulties, and wishes in regard to opium, morphine, and cocaine, as set forth in their despatch No. 285 of the 23rd November, 1911, to the Secretary of State for India, and that this document proved of great value and assistance to us.\n\n7. In your despatch of the 11th December, 1911 [49099], we received supplementary suggestions as to the measures which His Majesty's Government thought it desirable that we should suggest to the conference in the matter of restricting the manufacture of, and trade in, morphia and cocaine, and these will be referred to later on.\n\n8. The conference assembled on the 1st December, 1911 (first session), and, after a speech of welcome from His Excellency M. de Marees van Swinderen, the Netherlands Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was subsequently elected honorary president of the conference, Bishop Brent, the leader of the American delegation, was unanimously elected to the actual presidency — on the proposal of M. Cremer, the first delegate for the Netherlands, supported by Sir Cecil Clementi Smith and M. von Müller, the first delegate for Germany — and delivered an eloquent inaugural address.\n\nThe natural selection for the presidency would have been M. Cremer, as senior member of the delegation of the country in which we were meeting; but as he expressed himself unwilling to accept this post, the choice of Bishop Brent, as representing the country on whose initiative the conference had been called, was inevitable. The result was, however, unfortunate in that it threw the leadership of the American delegation into the hands of Dr. Hamilton Wright, who is singularly wanting in those qualities of clear-mindedness, moderation, and respect for the ideas of others which are essential for success in an international gathering of this kind. Under Dr. Wright's leadership, the American delegation was responsible for a number of useless and irritating proposals, and entirely lost the position of special advantage which it might have enjoyed as representing the Power on whose initiative the conference had come together.\n\n9. The second session (4th December) was occupied by the framing of rules of procedure and the constitution of committees, viz.:\n\n(a) A Programme Committee, consisting of one member from each delegation, which was to prepare and submit to the conference a programme of work, based on the original draft programme of the American Government as modified by the objections made in respect thereto by other Powers. This programme was also to deal with the supplementary proposals made by Great Britain on the subject of morphine and cocaine, and by Italy in regard to hemp drugs. It was further decided that any additional matter on which the conference might later embark should likewise be a subject of preliminary examination by the programme committee. This committee was presided over by M. Cremer (Netherlands), and Mr. Max Müller was the representative of the British delegation.\n\n(b) A Drafting Committee (\"Comité de Rédaction\"), consisting of five (afterwards six) members, and presided over, first by M. Guesde of the French delegation and later on, when M. Guesde had to return to Paris, by his colleague, M. Brenier. Sir William Collins was a member of this committee, which also included representatives of Germany, Holland, and Russia, and subsequently of the United States.\n\nThe original reference to this committee was to draft into proper conventional form the resolutions passed by the conference, but later on, as will be seen, its functions were considerably enlarged.\n\n(c) A Press Committee, consisting of three members, whose duty it was to decide what information should be communicated to the press, it having been resolved that the meetings of the conference should be private.\n\n(d) A fourth committee, the Technical Committee, though never formally constituted, also assumed shape, and eventually definite recognition. It consisted of the medical and scientific members of the various delegations under the presidency of Sir William Collins.\n\n10. It was also definitely decided at this session that, while French must as usual be the official language of the conference, each delegate might speak in his own language, and that translations of French documents might be furnished to those delegates who desired it. As a matter of fact, owing to the large number of delegates who understood English better than French, most of the speeches were made in English, even the French and German delegates frequently repeating in English what they had already said in French, and there was likewise an English summary of the proceedings, though it was always understood that the French text was the only authoritative one, and we feel it only right to take this opportunity of placing on record our sense of the courtesy and consideration with which the other delegations accepted the situation.\n\n11. At the third session (7th December), a warning note was sounded by the French and Portuguese delegations in regard to the difficulties that might arise owing to the small number of countries represented at the conference, and the danger of outside Powers deriving profit from the self-denying ordinances which the participating Powers might impose upon themselves in regard to trade in opium, &c.; and it may be mentioned here that at the fourth session a resolution was carried, on the proposal of the Persian delegate, that all the conclusions arrived at by the conference should be presented to outside Powers with a view to their co-operation being obtained.\n\nPage 9\n\n272",

Ultimately (as will be subsequently explained) this difficulty was met in another way by providing that before the convention drawn up by the conference is ratified, the non-participating Powers of Europe and America should be invited to give their signatures to it, and thus place themselves on the same footing as the original signatory Powers.\n\n12. Definitions of the terms \"raw,\" \"prepared,\" and \"medicinal\" opium, which had been submitted by the Programme Committee, after report by the Technical Committee, were then accepted. These definitions were those which now find place at the head of chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the convention; but there was a further paragraph in the definition of raw opium which extended its application to what is known commercially as powdered and granulated opium. This latter paragraph, as submitted by the Programme Committee, departed from the terms drawn up by the Technical Committee, and, inasmuch as in this altered form it appeared to include under \"raw opium\" what were in effect medicinal or officinal substances, this paragraph was subsequently struck out, leaving the definition of raw opium as it now stands. The result is that powdered or granulated opium would only be \"raw opium\" if it did not fall under one of the other definitions, i.e., in so far as it was merely the raw product of the poppy simply powdered or granulated. To render this point quite clear, and in accordance with instructions received from you, we made a specific declaration to this effect at the twenty-first session (17th January). After some discussion, it was then decided to ask the Technical Committee to report whether any further alteration of the definition of raw opium was desirable. The committee held that the declaration made on behalf of the British delegation might be deemed sufficient, or else that some maximum percentage of morphine would have to be introduced; the former alternative was endorsed by the conference as a whole at the twenty-third session.\n\nIt may be added that, apart from this particular point, the definitions as they now stand follow the broad lines between opium eaten and opium smoked, which has always been adopted in India. Opium which is eaten is \"raw\" opium, while smoking preparations are \"prepared\" opium.\n\n* The first of these three documents is given, in the form of a speech, on p. 28 of Vol. I of the \"Actes et Documents,\" the second and third appear in the second volume. \n\nPage 262",

The climate of Hongkong, which has never suited my wife, now no longer agrees with me. I am now, and my doctor warns me against returning thither. Indeed, I was told that I was not expected to live when I embarked for home on the 1st February last. The climate is not really a bad one, so long as one preserves one's health, but I have seen too many officials and others absolutely break down, or die suddenly, because it no longer suited them, and they were unable to obtain a transfer to another climate, to be willing to disregard the doctor's warning if I can possibly obtain employment elsewhere.\n\n3.

        "content_text": "# \n\nposition contained in our telegram of the 26th August, 1913, though we shall be glad to give our very careful consideration to any further information which can be obtained from the Foreign or Colonial Offices. We observe that Sir John Jordan has quoted the opinion of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce to the effect that the requirements of the non-China countries are not more than some 9,000 chests. We are not aware of the facts on which this opinion is based, or how far it may have been influenced by the presence at Hong Kong of about 4,000 chests of uncleared certified opium and by the fact that the requirements of uncertified opium in that colony are only 660 chests a year. It is sufficient to refer to the incontestable fact that the temporary reduction of exports in 1918 to 9,000 chests caused serious inconvenience to our non-China customers.\n\n## 17. \nWe would invite particular attention to the letters of the 5th February, 1913, and the 5th March, 1913, from the Governor of the Straits Settlements to the Colonial Office, in which it was maintained that an export of 13,200 chests a month was no more than sufficient to meet legitimate requirements, and that any information to the contrary must proceed from interested sources, a matter of which we ourselves have had ample experience in dealing with the merchants who control the China trade. As regards the presumption that opium is still being smuggled from other markets to China, we would observe that the temptation to smuggle must, in theory, always exist so long as the Chinese consumer is willing to pay a price far in excess of that which can be obtained for the drug in other countries. The experience of the past year shows that we should have to reduce our uncertified exports almost to vanishing point before this discrepancy in price were removed. In practice, however, this tendency can be, and is to a very large extent, nullified by the action of the Governments of the non-China countries, and we need hardly add that in such action we are at all times perfectly ready to co-operate. One of the great smuggling centres in the past was Macao, the case of which has now been disposed of by the convention lately concluded between His Majesty's and the Portuguese Governments. The Singapore and the Hong Kong \n\nPlease refer to your telegram of 1st August regarding uncertified opium. We have given the matter further careful consideration, and hold by the second conclusion mentioned by you, namely, that 13,200 chests probably did not adequately cover consumption of non-China markets in 1912. This has been our contention throughout (vide paragraph 4 of our despatch of the 18th July, 1912, and paragraph 5 of our despatch of the 17th January, 1913), and we see nothing in any subsequent facts which would justify a change of opinion. The main reasons why we consider that 13,200 chests were insufficient to meet legitimate requirements in 1912 are as follows:— \n\n(1) Figure of 14,000 chests mentioned in our telegram of the 12th July, 1911, regarding sales for 1911, was based on average consumption of non-China markets for five years ending 1909. The reduction to 13,200 for 1912 offered in our telegram of the 3rd November, 1911, was, as stated therein, made purely as evidence of our sincere desire to help China, although information which you had furnished us up to that date would have justified a figure of at least 14,000 chests.\n\n(2) The calculation referred to in our telegram of the 3rd November, 1911, contained items of 3,180 chests for Straits Settlements and 900 for Hong Kong, nothing at all being reckoned for Macao. As stated in our telegram of the 27th July, 1913, the latest information then available showed that, so far as those three countries are concerned, our calculation underestimated requirements by 680 chests.\n\n(3) As regards remaining countries, we have no information subsequent to that furnished by you in 1911, but we see no reason to believe that consumption therein has diminished. On the contrary, we understand that since 1908 one of our important customers, the Government of Dutch East Indies, have been gradually extending area in their monopoly, and that requirements have accordingly increased.\n\n(4) There is substantial evidence that our non-China customers, being unable to obtain efficient opium from us, have been obliged to buy Persian and Turkish opium, although not so suitable for consumption as Indian opium. In this connection, please see paragraph 5 of our despatch of the 18th July, 1912, and paragraph 9 of despatch of the 17th January, 1913.\n\nRecent figures show that transhipments of Persian and Turkish opium at Bombay for Singapore and Hong Kong have still further increased; number of chests so transhipped during first seven months of 1913 were 1,905 Persian and 783 Turkish. Moreover, these transhipments do not represent the whole trade in Persian opium with Far East, for we learn from political resident in Persian Gulf that during the past twelve months Persian opium merchants have taken to shipping opium via Port Said in German vessels in preference to transhipping at Bombay. We regard the competition of Persian and Turkish opium as serious, and we were informed in February last by the Holland-Bombay Trading Company, who act as agents for the purchase of opium for the Government of Dutch East Indies, that if the market at Calcutta continues to be restricted, they will have no alternative but to start buying Persian and Turkish opium—a measure which, as mentioned in paragraph 9 of our despatch of the 17th January, 1913, the Straits Government have already resorted to.\n\n2. Our export trade to China has ceased; and as far as our information goes, the smuggling difficulty is at an end, and we respectfully urge that the temporary sacrifices we made in respect of the non-China trade as a concession to apprehensions that the efforts of China might otherwise be prejudiced, should not now be pressed against us and our remaining legitimate revenue needlessly sacrificed. We see no reason at present to think an export of 13,200 excessive. On the contrary, we regard it as an absolute minimum which should perhaps be raised hereafter unless, of course, there be future alteration in the circumstances and demand of the consuming countries concerned. In this connection, see our telegram of the 11th July, \n\n## 7 \n\nGovernments possess opium monopolies, and so also, we believe, does the Government of the Dutch East Indies. Moreover, a system of all-round direct sales is, as your Lordship is aware, now under consideration, with our full acquiescence, and this, if carried into effect, should entirely remove even the present theoretical possibility of smuggling. Meanwhile, we shall await with interest the reply to the enquiry, suggested in paragraph 4 of Sir Thomas Holderness's letter of the 16th January, 1914, to the Foreign Office, as to the information upon which Sir John Jordan bases his assumption that the smuggling of uncertified opium continues, and hinders the disposal of the certified stocks now lying in the treaty ports.\n\n## 18. \nFinally, we come to the argument or rather the vague impression, as we should prefer to describe it—that India has gained enormously from the inflated revenue received from opium under the special conditions of the last few years, and can well afford to forego a portion of the profits thus obtained. The facts are these: In the last five years of the pre-restriction period, the average net revenue from opium (including both the China and the non-China trade) was just over 3 million pounds a year, of which three-fourths or about 2.3 million pounds appertained to the China trade. During the six years from 1907-8 to 1912-13 inclusive, i.e., up to the year in which the exports to China were finally discontinued, the total revenue has amounted to a little over 7 million pounds in excess of the aggregate net revenue which would have been obtained had the previous average for the entire foreign trade held good; i.e., from a money point of view the future profits of the China trade have been bartered for a sum representing less than three years' purchase. We cannot think that this can be regarded as a transaction financially favourable to India and justifying a charge upon which would not otherwise have been sustainable. Still less does it imply the presence at this date of any surplus resources or reserves of borrowing power.\n\n## 19. \nThere are other points which we might touch upon, but we refrain from doing so because we are aware that they have not escaped your Lordship's attention. What most important question, we desire to do now is to emphasise the fact that this, a matter materially affecting the financial interests of India and involving grave political issues in this country, and that India's rights and claims ought not to be ignored or to receive other than the most full and sympathetic consideration. Any other course would not fail to provoke the exasperation of Indian opinion by the subordination of the treaty rights of India to purely British political and commercial interests, and would be most prejudicial to the internal situation.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\n## 0 \n\nHARDINGE OF PENSHURST.

Grant no more licences for exportation of hides to Holland without reference.\n\nBONAR LAW.\n\nHowever, to follow the instructions more closely and correct the OCR output:\n\n## Step 1: Correcting the OCR output\nThe given text appears to be a jumbled and corrupted version of a telegram. The first step is to correct the obvious OCR errors.\n\n## Step 2: Reordering and correcting the text\nUpon closer inspection, it seems like the text has been severely corrupted. Let's attempt to correct and reorder it.\n\nThe original text seems to be a telegram with a header and a body. Let's break it down:\n- The numbers and the word \"Telegram\" suggest it's a coded message.\n- \"From\" and \"To\" indicate the sender and recipient.\n- The date is mentioned as \"4th January, 1916.\"\n\n## Step 3: Applying the corrections\nLet's correct the text:\n- \"net:slər 10:00 to noitslamatī\" could be a corrupted timestamp or a header.\n- \"Translation of CODE Telegram\" is likely correct.\n- \"ITATE TO YHATURODZ\" and \"MGA LOH HOHEVOD\" seem to be corrupted headers or codes.\n- \"From ΠΟΥΚ To OT\" could be \"From COOK To OT\" or more likely \"From BUCK To SECRETARY OF STATE\" or a similar official title, but given the context, it is more plausible that \"ΠΟΥΚ\" is \"BUCK\" and \"OT\" is an abbreviation for an official title.\n- \"SECRETARY OF STATE.

It was doubtful under that Proclamation whether the export of ginger was prohibited and on the analogy of the permission to export this article to Holland contained in your telegram of the 3rd March, 1915, the export was permitted on the production of a satisfactory certificate of ultimate destination.\n\n3.\n\nThis is the only instance in which the export of ginger has been permitted to an unauthorised country without reference to you, and the local Proclamation No. 28 of the 17th of September with its amendment No. 31 of the 29th of October has made the matter clear.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nANDREW BONAR LAW, M.P.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\nAnag\n\nGovernor, &c..",

        "content_text": "26\n\nfact, I consider that H.M. Government should carefully balance all the circumstances before deciding upon an aggressive post-bellum policy, which would tend to promote friction and which might recoil upon our own heads. The whole question is an important one, and I would recommend that H.M. Government should make careful investigation in the countries themselves as to the most suitable policy to be adopted after the war in all the Far Eastern markets, having regard to the peculiar circumstances in each case. It is not possible, at this distance, to do more than sketch the broad lines such policy might take.\n\nSUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS.\n\n1. Although the Netherlands Indies are to some extent a commercial dependency of the Straits Settlements, the direct trade with the outside world has increased enormously of late years, largely as a result of improved shipping facilities. In this increased trade British merchants in Java and the lesser islands have had a considerable share.\n\n2. A noteworthy feature is the paucity of British houses in the market. One or two powerful firms do a very large business in sugar and other produce. The import trade is handled by two or three more British Java houses, but there appears to be an opportunity for young, active men with local experience to commence business on their own account, provided that British banks are willing to be a little more generous in their terms. It is an admitted fact that young but enterprising German merchants, with slender resources, received more encouragement and assistance from their home manufacturers and banks and from their Government than was the case with British subjects under similar circumstances.\n\n3. The strongest competition encountered in the Netherlands Indies before the war was with the Dutch houses, and particularly in textiles. Holland had a large share of the trade in bleached goods, and it is stated that special rebates on Dutch goods were granted by the Dutch shipping companies to British merchants, by constant activity and vigilance were able to hold their own, and the shipments of British textiles to Java were increasing at a satisfactory rate. The market is an open one, and all nations are on the same footing as regards customs duties.\n\n4. German competition was keen throughout the archipelago, not only in German manufactured articles, but in the distribution of British goods. In the iron, steel, engineering and hardware trades the German merchants hold a very strong position, and they were rapidly building up a most satisfactory business in the export of miscellaneous produce. Their position was largely due to:—\n\n(a) Longer credit terms and financial facilities received from their Home banks, and also from Dutch banks, facilities which British banks declined to give.\n\n(b) Their monopoly of the sale of aniline dyes and synthetic indigo, which enabled them to force the sales of their textiles and other goods. This weapon is likely to be utilised still more effectively in the future, unless British dyestuff manufacturers can supply the dyes at competitive prices. The principal colours are aniline red and indigo.\n\n(c) The development of the export of the less important articles of produce, such as copra, and the willingness to reside and work up a trade in the more remote parts of the islands, where there was little competition.\n\n(d) The support which in many cases was given to them by British manufacturers in respect of desirable sole or joint agencies. These agencies were frequently granted because the German merchants had branches and connections in the Outer Possessions, and thus offered a wider field for distribution.\n\n(e) The facilities offered by German shipping lines, both as regards secret rebates, and also in extending local shipping services to certain outports, such as Macassar, where German influence was powerful.\n\nAfter the war, we may expect intensified German competition in the islands, as it is extremely likely that the leading enemy houses in the Straits will transfer their activities to the Dutch islands.\n\n5. Japanese competition before the war was not serious, but strenuous efforts are being made to work up a trade in the coarser grades of textiles. A very large business is being done in hosiery, underwear, and miscellaneous sundry articles, and local British interests anticipate gradually increasing competition in the future.\n\n27\n\n6. American competition before the war was negligible, but efforts are now being made to introduce United States manufactures. The attempt is not regarded with any concern by local British merchants, who aver that in normal times the high cost of production in the States, and the lack of American marketing and financing facilities enable them to hold their own.\n\n7. British merchants in the Dutch Indies are dependent on steamers which commence loading at Continental ports, and then call to fill up at British ports. This system causes much dissatisfaction on account of frequent \"shutting out\" of British goods. A regular, fast steamship service under the British flag from Birkenhead and other United Kingdom ports, calling at certain Continental ports, is strongly advocated. British merchants in Java are loud in their denunciation of the Shipping Conference agreements with German and Dutch companies, and urge that they should not be continued after the war.\n\n8. Heavy Imperial taxation, together with local taxation on profits, is bearing very heavily on the British houses, and is seriously handicapping them in competition with the Dutch. Owing to a low basis of assessment (the years 1913 and 1914 being lean years), the profits now being made are claimed by the Government as excess profits. This incidence of taxation is seriously crippling firms who would otherwise be prepared to sink their profits in consolidating and extending their influence.\n\nIt appears desirable, in the interests of our post-bellum position in the islands, that such special cases should receive favourable consideration at the hands of H.M. Government in return for guarantees that any profits thus exempted from taxation should be devoted to the strengthening and extending of British interests.\n\n9. In view of the necessity for closer co-operation and collective action on the part of British merchants after the war, and with the object of providing a link between H.M. officials and the mercantile community, it is desirable that purely British Chambers of Commerce be formed at Batavia, Sourabaya, Samarang, and any other ports where there is a sufficiently large British trading community.\n\n10. With a view to the promotion of British mercantile activity in the Netherlands Indies, I would recommend that a Commercial Intelligence Officer be appointed with headquarters at H.B.M. Consulate-General at Batavia, and that an efficient system of commercial intelligence should be inaugurated by him.\n\nSECTION 3. SIAM.\n\nSources of Information.—Much of the information contained in this Section has been obtained at personal interviews with the heads of the leading British houses trading in Siam. A memorandum has been received from the Bangkok agent of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and the many and valuable works of reference recently published have been consulted.\n\nExtent of Foreign Trade.-While Siam is one of the less important markets of the Far East from the point of view of the total volume of its foreign trade, it nevertheless merits careful attention by British commercial interests owing to:\n\n(a) The steady expansion of the trade with the outside world during the past 15 years as a result of good government and a systematic State policy of economic development; and\n\n(b) The commanding position occupied by local British trading firms, some of which have been established in the country from the date of the first Commercial Treaty concluded with Great Britain in 1855, the treaty which not only regulated trade methods but determined the Siamese Customs Tariff.\n\nThe total volume of the sea-borne trade of the country during the last three complete pre-war Siamese years was as follows:-----\n\n  \n    Year\n    Total Imports\n    Total Exports\n    Total Value of Trade\n  \n  \n    1911-12\n    5,524,000\n    6,392,000\n    11,916,000\n  \n  \n    1912-13\n    5,740,000\n    6,173,000\n    11,913,000\n  \n  \n    1913-14\n    6,962,334\n    8,858,921\n    15,821,000\n  \n\nN.B. The Siamese year extends from April 1st to March 31st.\n\nD2\n\n610",

Moreover, as we have left her practically little more tonnage than she requires to carry on according to the estimated scale of rationing her necessary overseas trade, there should be no occasion for further requisitioning on any material scale. Individual ships could probably be obtained on an emergency on charter with the consent of the owner.\n\nNetherland",

JAMES, S.W. 1.  \n19th October 1918**\n\nWith reference to the letter from this Department of the 12th instant (`No.201294/10`) enclosing a copy of the evidence which led to the inclusion of the Handels Maatschappij Transmarina in Class \"A\" of the General Black List, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Balfour to transmit, herewith, for such reply as Mr. Secretary Long may consider desirable, a letter in original from Messrs. De Trey & Company Ltd.\n\n2. Since the inclusion of the \"Transmarina\" in the Black List a great number of letters have been detained by the Censorship Authorities showing that large quantities of goods have been ordered by the Black-listed firm in Holland for export to its branches at Buenos Aires, Shanghai and Hong Kong.\n\n3. In view of the extent of the business involved and the large number of British firms affected and the principle at stake, Mr. Balfour considers it most desirable that a uniform attitude should be adopted so far as possible towards all the branches of this firm in order to secure both that the head office is penalized to the fullest degree possible and that the same treatment is extended to the British firms concerned.\n\nAfter consultation, the War Trade Department, the Transhipment Department and the various sections of this Department which are concerned have accordingly agreed to grant no facilities whatsoever for any shipment made by the Dutch house to its Buenos Aires and Shanghai branches, unless the penalty inflicted on the British firm involved by stopping goods already manufactured would be in undue proportion to that inflicted on the Dutch firm.\n\n4. As a large proportion of these orders are for shipment to the Hong Kong branch of the \"Transmarina\", I am to ask whether Mr. Secretary Long would be prepared to cause similar treatment to be accorded to the Hong Kong branch and to warn any British firm applying to him that it would be well advised not to entertain any orders for shipment to that branch.\n\nI am to suggest also that the War Trade Department be requested to refuse export licences in respect of goods to be exported to the Hong Kong branch.\n\nI am,  \nSir,  \nYour most obedient, humble Servant,  \nFellior.  \nFor the Controller.\n\nTo Hampoor:  \nIt is not for us to ask H.K. about the treatment of the firm.

We consider that it would be reasonable for us to claim a price of at least 4,000 rupees under any new agreements now entered into, unless for diplomatic reasons in order to secure a settlement you are constrained to fix a price slightly below that level.\n\n9. In regard to the transhipments mentioned in your telegram, we conclude that you refer to Persian opium transhipped at Bombay for the Far Eastern market, and we shall be glad to receive your instructions whether control is to be established or not over this trade also. Basrah is the principal port from which this opium is despatched and would probably be the most suitable place at which to control it; but it may be pointed out that any action which we may take there will probably divert the trade to other ports or overland routes. It must also be recognised that really effective control could only be established in Persia itself, and its institution there in present circumstances does not appear very probable.\n\n10. There is finally the difficult question of opium smuggling from the Shan States into China of which apparently much capital is being made by the Chinese and of which Sir John Jordan in his despatch, dated the 30th December last, advocates the immediate suppression. With regard to the allegations made, it is clear that such smuggling as is taking place over the frontier is being actively encouraged and supported by the Chinese authorities, vide the Tengyueh opium reports which formed enclosures to Sir John Jordan's despatch, dated the 30th December, 1918. The task of active control of cultivation and export in the remote and inaccessible tracts which border on the Chinese frontier would be one of great difficulty and delicacy and would undoubtedly be liable to result in unrest and disturbances. While, therefore, we are again addressing the Burma Government and consulting it regarding the practicability of a policy of increasing the restriction on the Shan production and traffic, we feel that we are entitled to ask what co-operation Burma will be able to expect in this difficult task from the Chinese authorities.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nWe have, &c.\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nCHELMSFORD.\n\nC.

MANT.\n\nMr. Montagu to Government of India.\n\nIndia Office, September 11, 1919.\n\nI HAVE considered in Council the letter from your Excellency's Government in the Financial Department, dated the 21st May, 1919, on the subject of the export of Indian opium to the Far East, and the suppression of the cultivation of the poppy in the frontier tracts of Burma bordering on China.\n\n2. In his despatch of the 30th December, 1918, Sir J. Jordan invited attention to the desirability of prohibiting the export of Indian opium to the Far East; he considered that the financial advantages now accruing from such export must be so trifling in comparison with the larger issue which has already been faced, and so unworthy of consideration in relation to the national stigma involved, that the continuance of the trade was unthinkable. Your Excellency's Government is unable to accept this view. You point out that India has already given ample proofs of her willingness to adopt any practical measures of co-operation or restriction which may be required to secure the complete suppression of the illicit opium traffic with China, and has willingly accepted heavy losses of revenue in order to further the attainment of this end; and you regard it as unreasonable that India should be called on to make still further sacrifices, at the cost of the Indian tax-payer, where there is but little hope that these sacrifices would in fact benefit China.\n\n3. On the conclusion of the agreement with China in 1911, a limit was imposed voluntarily upon the total amount of Indian opium which could be exported in any one year to all consuming countries other than China. This limit—which was fixed at 13,200 chests a year, and has now been in operation for the past seven years—was determined after careful examination of the volume of exports over a period when no inducement existed for the smuggling of the drug into Chinese territory. The results of this statistical examination of the problem were supplemented by such further direct enquiries as were possible; and on a review of all the facts, 13,200 chests a year was accepted as the most accurate estimate that could be made of the legitimate demands of all countries, other than China, which imported opium for smoking or eating. The export of Indian opium to China has now ceased. Further, in pursuance of a policy which has been kept steadily in view, your Excellency's Government has entered into arrangements with the Governments of Siam, the Dutch East Indies, Hong-Kong, the Straits Settlements, and British North Borneo, under which their requirements are imported by them direct. With the extension of the system of direct sales the quantity offered at auction has been gradually reduced, and in 1918 only 42 per cent of the total limit of 13,200 chests referred to above was disposed of in this manner. In 1919, owing to special reasons, only 3,600 chests were offered at auction. With the exception of small shipments to Ceylon and Mauritius, opium purchased at the Calcutta auctions is exported to Saigon and Japan.\n\n4. It is only, therefore, in respect of the quantity auctioned in India that any question of responsibility arises. There can unfortunately be little doubt that an illicit trade with China on a large scale exists, and there is evidence that poppy cultivation has revived over large areas in China itself. But although the most rigid limitation of exports from India, or even the complete stoppage of the illicit trade in Indian opium, might still fail to benefit China, none the less I consider that every effort should be made to limit exports from India to the legitimate requirements of the consuming countries.\n\nThe expedient of consular certificates is for many reasons objectionable, and I would prefer to adopt the alternative suggested by you of attempting to extend the system of direct sales by entering into contracts with the Governments of Japan, French Indo-China, Ceylon, and Mauritius. If this be done, and if exports be limited to the quantity certified by the Government of each consuming country to be required for legitimate purposes, the responsibility for abuses, if any should occur, will rest with the Government of the importing country. I suggest that your Excellency's Government should now enter into communication for this purpose with the Governments of Ceylon and Mauritius, and I propose to request the Foreign Office to initiate negotiations with the Governments of Japan and France, explaining the reasons which have led to this offer being made, and making it clear that the quantities to be covered by the contract are those required for legitimate purposes only.\n\nI foresee the possibility that if these arrangements are made, Indian opium in the illicit trade may be replaced by Turkish or Persian opium, but I am not without hope that this result may not follow, as Indian opium is valued for its special properties, and as, under Article 295 of the Treaty of Peace with Germany, ratification of the treaty will be regarded as ratification of the Opium Convention of 1912. The obligations of that convention are not evaded, the illicit trade should be reduced or disappear, and the Japanese Government have recently declared publicly that all necessary action will be taken when the Hague Convention becomes operative.\n\n5. In the letter from your Excellency's Government in the Financial Department, dated the 20th April, 1917, the question of the methods to be adopted in order to arrive at a suitable price basis for opium sold direct to other Governments was discussed, but no definite conclusions were reached. So long as moderately large quantities are offered for sale, the results of the Calcutta auctions afford the most direct and reliable basis for fixing the price at which the drug should be supplied to other Governments; but as your Excellency's Government recognised, it will not always be either safe or desirable to attempt to secure the full benefit of any temporary inflation of prices. If and when the Calcutta sales cease, the only indications will be the prices realised for Persian and Turkish opium, and the prices obtained for Indian opium sold to morphia manufacturers in England. Difficulties will probably be experienced in obtaining reliable information as to the prices of Persian and Turkish opium, or as to the quantities offered for sale; the conditions that may be expected to exist after the war may restrict the demand; and marked fluctuations of prices may occur. There is the further consideration, mentioned by you, that Indian opium supplies a special demand, and commands a higher price than the Persian or Turkish drug. As regards opium sales in England, the position is at present so uncertain that no trustworthy estimate can be made either of the total quantity likely to be sold or the price that will be obtained. In any case the price basis is wholly\n\n[1147 d-1]\n\nC\n\n633",

        "content_text": "HOLSTEIN BULL \"WILLIAM,” \n\nHOLSTEIN COW \"YETSKE\n\nHOLSTEIN OR HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN\n\nCATTLE,\n\n41\n\nThis famous and valuable breed of cattle, with their attractive colours, black and white, are extensively met with on the Continent, but more especially in Holland where they have absolutely taken root, being well suited to the climate, soil and general conditions under which they have to live. The official register of Holsteins in Holland gives painstaking and elaborate details of each animal, and has been in existence for generations. Many of these highly prized dairy cows were wont to be imported into the United Kingdom, but such import was eventually prohibited many years ago, much to the disappointment of British dairymen. Some years later a British Holstein Herd Book, to register any remaining pure breed cattle, was inaugurated. The Society was anxious to improve the breed, and about 1913 or 1914 obtained permission to import a large number of selected Holsteins from Holland. On arrival in England these animals were quarantined for several months and then put up for public auction. So popular were the \"black and whites\" that a clear sum of over £11,000 was gained by the transaction. The pure-bred dairy herds in America are composed of probably two-thirds Holsteins. Much has been done there to advance the breed. Holsteins are very docile, appreciate kindness and respond quickly to good treatment. They are heavy milkers and in Holland and other countries answer fairly well the oft discussed question as to dual purpose animals; they fulfil the want in these places for a butcher's animal and a dairy cow.\n\nNumbered amongst the most important bulls imported by the Dairy Farm Company from America was \"Lunde Oregon Mechthilde,\" No. 47470. His sire, \"Lunde Oregon De Kol,\" was grand champion bull at Lewes and Clark Exhibition in 1905, and his daughter won the dairy test at Oregon State Fair in 1906 and 1907. The weight of \"De Kol\" was reported to be 2,600-lbs. \"Lunde Oregon Mechthilde's\" dam was \"Chloe Mechthilde,\" a grand champion cow at Lewes and Clark Exhibition in 1905, and first prize cow at all the leading shows in 1905, 1906 and 1907. \"Lunde Oregon Mechthilde\" was indeed a very fine bull, and was used in the herd for many years. His potency was very pronounced and his progeny, like his father, was of great substance and weight. \"Prince Parthenea Johanna,\" No. 48664, was imported at the same time. The sire of \"P.P.J.\" was \"Sire Jewel Parthenea Doide,\" second prize bull at the World's Fair, St. Louis, and winner of several other prizes in 1904, 1905 and 1906. \"P.P.J's\" grand...\n\nPage 62\n\n63\n\n69\n\n348",

She did the voyage from Liverpool to Hongkong in thirty-three days.\n\nThe Bishop of Victoria (Dr. Duppuy) returned to Hongkong on August 29th, after an absence of two months on tour of his extensive diocese, which extends to Yunnanfu.\n\nThe South Staffords go from Singapore to Maymyo relieving the 2nd K.O.R. (Lancasters) Regiment, while the 2nd Wilts go from Hongkong to Bangalore in the Spring relieving the 2nd Dorsets.\n\nRural building, lot No. 175, adjoining Villa Miramere, Pokfulum, having an area of 37,100 sq. ft., was sold this week to Mr. E. T. H. Bunje for $4,800. The upset price was $2,226, or 6 cents a sq. ft. No fewer than fourteen lots of Crown land (including the four lots on which the old Post Office and Supreme Court stand) are advertised for sale by auction. Six of these are on Mount Davis.\n\nAnnouncement was made on Sept. 1st of the appointment of Mr. J. H. Taggart as Managing Director of the Hongkong Hotel Co., Ltd.; of Mr. H. N. Beaurepaire as Secretary; and Mr. E. W. Alderson as Sub-manager.\n\nThe King held an Investiture at Buckingham Palace on July 19th. Amongst those introduced into the presence of the Sovereign was Sir Charles Addis, who received a Knight Commandership of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.\n\nThe financial statement of the Colony for the month of May, published in the current Gazette, shows a revenue for the month of $1,484,925.43 and an expenditure of $963,561.46. The balance of assets over liabilities is given as $5,573,420.44.\n\nA very desirable public improvement is foreshadowed in the Government Gazette by a call for tenders for the construction of a reinforced concrete public pier, 160 feet 8 inches long by 41 feet 4 inches wide, and approach at Queen's Statue Square.\n\nFollowing the seizure by the police of a revolver and 48 rounds of ammunition, a European named Sydney Spalding, living at No. 6, Observatory Villas, was arrested by the police but was afterwards found to need hospital treatment. He is now in the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nMr. John J. Gorman, manager in the Far East of the Admiral Line, was a passenger by the s.s. Keystone State. Mr. Gorman is on a visit to the Company's agencies at Hongkong and Manila and will return to Seattle on the same steamer. Mr. Geo. A. Heyburn, assistant manager, will be in charge during the absence of Mr. Gorman.\n\nIt will interest old Hongkong residents to know that among those mentioned as possible successors of Mr. Crane as United States Minister to China was Dr. Stuart Thomson. A New Jersey paper says: \"Dr. Thomson was formerly manager at Hongkong, China, of the Pacific Mail and Toyo Kisen Kaisha Trans-Pacific Steamship Company's office, in which position he succeeded the Far East veteran, John Sheffield Van Buren, nephew of President Van Buren.”\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nImprovements at Government House for which tenders are being invited include the erection, on the site of the existing stables and outbuildings, of a garage, laundry and custodian's quarters, and the forming of a new carriage drive involving alterations to the eastern entrance.\n\nTen robbers, armed with rifles and revolvers, broke into the Kwong Wo Yuen grocery shop, in Leungshanwan village, Saikung district, on the night of Aug.25th. They stole a large quantity of clothing, jewellery, money and provisions, and took away with them the proprietor, and his son, whom they are holding for ransom.\n\nTo mark the anniversary of the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, the Consul-General for the Netherlands held an \"at home\" at the Holland Club, on August 31st. H.E. the Governor and the Colonial Secretary were represented and the foreign consuls and a large number of the Colony's Dutch residents attended.\n\n189\n\n[September 3rd, 1921.] Many friends of the Rev. Charles Bone, who for seventeen years was the pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Wanchai, will regret to read the announcement of the death, in England, of Mrs. Bone, on August 26th. It is a little more than five years since they left the Colony. At present their three married daughters are all in England, on leave from Hongkong and from West Africa. The only surviving son is with Messrs. Butterfield & Swire in Shanghai, the younger son having been killed in the war. Much sympathy will be felt with the husband and family in the loss they have sustained.\n\nThe new Sharebrokers' Association formed by the \"outside brokers\" was inaugurated on September 1st, when there was a gathering of brokers and investors at the offices of the Association in Ice House Street to launch the Association in the customary way with Mr. A. H. Carroll, who has been one of the moving spirits in organising this Association, explained that the membership of the Hongkong Stockbrokers' Association was severely restricted and a desire had long existed among the outside brokers for the formation of another Association. The desire was now fulfilled, and he was glad to be able to announce that the new Association was supported by some of the largest investors and speculators in the Colony. The Association would meet at the same hour as the older body, so there would be no possibility of \"cribbing\" quotations. The Association intended in the near future to include in its list many stocks—especially Chinese Bank stocks—not at present quoted on the local exchange.\n\nRevised rates of postage on parcels posted in Hongkong to various parts of the world came into force on September 1st. A list occupying a couple of pages appears in the Government Gazette. The rates to the United Kingdom are not affected by the revision, but the list includes a number of British Colonies and possessions in Africa and America.\n\nA small railway platform is being built at Ho Mun Tin and we understand that, from the 16th inst., two trains in the morning—at 8.15 and 9.00—and two in the evening—from Kowloon at 5.27 and 7.09—will stop at this halt. Residents at Ho Mun Tin express themselves as highly gratified by this consideration on the part of the Railway Administration.\n\nA bathing party had a gruesome experience in Junk Bay a few days ago. While the bathers were in the water they observed a dead body rise to the surface. It was the truncated body of a European which bore indications of having been in the water many days. Evidently the man had been drowned while bathing, as the body was covered with a bathing dress. No report had been made to the police of any European being missing, and it is presumed that the body is that of a sailor from a vessel who may have been taking a lonely swim and lost his life unobserved by any one, and his disappearance from the ship may have been regarded perhaps at the time as desertion.\n\nThe newly-formed Society for the Protection of Mui Tsais held a meeting in the hall of the Tung Wah Hospital on August 27th under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak. There was an attendance of about 200 interested Chinese gentlemen, the majority of whom were members. On the Chairman's suggestion, the membership fee was fixed at $2. It was decided that an annual subscription was unnecessary because whenever the Society needed money it could appeal to its members who would subscribe whatever amount was required. Office bearers were appointed as follows:—Patrons: Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak and Hon. Mr. Ho Fook: Chairman: Mr. Wing-kwong; Vice-Chairman: Mr. Kwok Shiu-lau: Hon. Treasurer: Mr. Simon Tse Yan and Hon. Secretary: Mr. Wong Kwong-tin. A Committee of thirty was appointed, including the committees of the Po Leung Kuk, Tung Wah Hospital, and the District Watchmen Committee.\n\nMUI TSAI IN HONGKONG. ANOTHER QUESTION IN THE COMMONS.\n\nIn the House of Commons, on July 6th, Lord H. Cavendish-Bentinck asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he could give the names of the Chinese ladies appointed to consider women and girls, especially the mui tsai, matters connected with the protection of in the Colony of Hongkong?\n\nMr. Wood: The information is not in my possession, but I will inquire of the Governor.\n\nTHE SANITARY BOARD.\n\nPREVALENCE OF RABIES.\n\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on August 30th, Mr. G. R. Sayer presiding. There were also present: The Director of Public Works (the Hon. Mr. T. L. Perkins), Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Dr. Graca Ozorio, Mr. Chow Shou-sen, and the Secretary, (Mr. C. M. W. Reynolds).\n\nBeyond business of a routine character, the only item of interest was a discussion concerning the prevalence of rabies, in regard to which the procedure of notification of such cases or suspected cases was dealt with. It was mentioned that a dog recently, suspecting it of rabies, the owner shot his dog through the brain. This made it difficult for the bacteriologist, as it was necessary to an examination for suspected rabies that the brain should be left intact. Dogs suspected of suffering from rabies should be handed over to the Police and killed by shooting through the chest.",

CARGO HANDLING AT BATAVIA- In his report on the economic situation of the Netherlands East Indies. Mr. H.A.N. Bluett. British commercial agent for the Netherlands East Indies at Batavia, makes some interesting references to that company' shipping. He says:--The scare`ty of cargo for Europe which be came apparent during the latter half of 1920 continued well into the year 1921, during the first half of which steamers sailing homewards with large quantities of space in spite of important reductions in freights.\n\nwere\n\nYORK. With the exception of a few speculative bookings, generally speaking business was done for shipment on very short notice, freight seldom being booked for more than a few weeks, and with a fairly large supply of ready tonnage on the spot there was no reason for shippers to bind them- selves until the last moment. During the early months of the latter part of the year, con- ditions, however, improved, there being a very firm demand for tonnage for two or three months ahead from July onwards- principally brought about by the sudden boom in the copra trade- but within a comparatively short space of time it was realised that the position had been exaggerat- ed, and that the requirements for tootage to the United Kingdom and the Continent were consider ably below expectations, more especially for through cargo from outlying ports in the Dutch East Indies, which, as a rule, consists largely of copra and rattans. De- pression again set in, business being little better than during the early monthe of the period under review; rates continued or\n\nSteamere proceed via Suez Canal or Panama Canal at Owners option.

        "content_text": "THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.\n\nBETWEEN OURSELVES. TWENTY FIVE YEARS\n\n(Continued from Page 6.) granted on every hand; that a change may take place when our Educational Cadet retires is the hope of all who have this matter at heart: that we places like Wei-hai-wei and Chefoo can give us a long start is a reproach: that we have still to send our children home, is a disgrace. Scrap The Lot.\n\nAGO.\n\nA Glance at our Files.\n\n(Sept. 3.-Oct. 1, 1897.)\n\nST. ANDREW'S SOCIETY. At the annual meeting of the St. Andrew's Society, the Hon. Mr. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, presiding, said they had a balance of $3,000, the largest in the history of the Society. An incident with elements of comedy was witnessed on the Praya yesterday. Apparently two men had an altercation over money matters and they were not satisfied with a mere exchange of adjectival terms. They came to blows and when a policeman rushed up to the scene, they both jumped into the water and continued the fight there, until fished out. One was satisfied with bail estreated. The other, who did not appear, had his bail estreated.\n\nDAY BY DAY.\n\nCommand Orders state-It is pointed out that malaria is most prevalent during the month of October, November, and December. O.C. Units are responsible for the avoidance of all mosquito breeding places in their areas and strict supervision must be maintained.\n\nTeaching is a business which has to be learned and no amount of ignorant and ill-trained enthusiasm can take its place. One of our uncertificated teachers the other day remarked that the salary accrued was stable and when a helper was satisfied with the last ball, which had been a great success, but at the same time it was accompanied by a deficit. It seemed impossible to bridge debts! What an ideal Colony which can boast without a deficit.\n\nNEW OFFICES.\n\nMessrs. Butterfield & Swire's handsome new offices on the Praya looked quite bright to-day, with no less than three new house flags floating over the roof. There was the familiar China Navigation Company's flag, the monogram of Alfred Holt & Co., and the blue and white bars of the Scottish Oriental line. Flying the old flags would have been putting old wine in new bottles. In any case, the transfer of the B. & S. business to such a convenient locality will be appreciated by shipping and business people.\n\nHONGKONG IMPORTS.\n\nThe fortnightly Price Current and Market Report, published by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, states:-Cotton yarn. Owing to the continued decline in price, dealers are confining their operations to only a few bales at a time for their immediate requirements. Woollens-Small blankets and lastings are reported, but the market is very dull.\n\nTHE VOLUNTEER BAND.\n\nThe best efforts of some people are unappreciated by the vulgar herd, and this appears to be the unhappy fate of the Volunteer band. On Jubilee Day, the Volunteers' pipers were placed ignominiously in the rear of the massed bands. While now that the Corps has seen the error of its ways to some extent, and has dropped the barbarous pipes in favour of the more civilised fife and drum, the band is told by an irate P.W.D. official to \"stop that noise\" until he has finished his work! It is now also said that the Scotch Police have actually been given orders to arrest the band on its next appearance on the public highway, and charge the musicians severally and collectively with creating a nuisance.\n\nCotton yarn. Quotations are:-No. 108 $14.5-16.8, No. 129. $15.3-17.2, No. 169. $17.8-19.0, No. 20s. $17.8-19.4. Arrivals 1,500. Shipments nil. Sales 1,500 bales. Unsold stock 17,000 bales. Bargains 5,000 bales.\n\nMetals. Business has been done in wire nails 1.3 inch. at $8.20 to $8.25. 3-7 inch. at $7.60. There has also been business booked in galvanized wire 18 to 22 gauge at $12.50. 13 to 17 gauge at $10. Bars have been placed at $4.55 to $4.70.\n\nRaw Cottons.-There was a fair demand during the last fortnight, but this is the season when dealers fill all their requirements for the New Year trade: it is to be expected. It is doubtful whether the quantities booked come up to the average. Scrap material is quiet. Dealers are not willing to pay the prices at present asked.\n\nMR. BRUTTON'S ADMISSION.\n\nIn the Supreme Court, Mr. W. M. Goodman, Attorney-General, made an application on behalf of Mr. Brutton, a solicitor, to be approved, admitted, and enrolled as an attorney and proctor. His Lordship understood that the necessary papers-certificates and affidavits, one by Mr. Brutton that he was duly admitted to practise as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of Judicature in England on the 14th August, 1891, and that he was the same person as that named in that certificate, and the other was by Mr. A. G. Wise, Puisne Judge, which stated that he was well acquainted with Mr. Brutton, and that in his opinion Mr. Brutton was a fit and proper person to be admitted and enrolled as a solicitor.\n\nLet Mr. Brutton be admitted and enrolled as an attorney in this Court. Mr. Brutton was, during the last four years, under Mr. W. Drummond in Shanghai, and came here on the 23rd instant to join the office of Mr. K. W. Givals Mounsey.\n\nOUR UNOFFICIALS.\n\nThe present Government is wholly wanting in debating power. It hates criticism. It dreads discussion, and since the method of half-unofficial and half-official written communications to members out of Council had been exposed and put a stop to, it negotiates quietly with individual members and so arranges matters beforehand that things pass in Council sub-silenteo.\n\nWATER POLO LEAGUE.\n\nThe match between R.G.A. and Lusitano Recreation Club, postponed from August 31st, was played at the V.I.C. on Monday last and resulted in a win for the V. Club by a goal to nil. The above match completes the League. The table now stands:\n\nP. W. L. D. F. Agst.

        "content_text": "226 \n- 2 - \n\nThe co-operation with the United States was continued also in the Fifth Committee, where the same Delegation, as consultative members of the Committee, have taken an interested part in our discussions. This co-operation will, I am sure, be welcomed by all Governments as being of great importance for the success of our fight against the abuse of narcotic drugs.\n\nThe Fifth Committee, after having examined the two reports laid before it by the Advisory Committee, considering all the valuable facts therein contained and all the interesting resolutions forming together a practical programme of further action, proposes to the Assembly to express its deep appreciation of the work performed by the Advisory Committee and to adopt its report and resolutions, requesting the Council to take the necessary steps to put these resolutions into effect. (**Resolution 1.**)\n\nThe Fifth Committee has, however, also found it necessary to emphasise some points of great importance for the whole work and in a series of resolutions to propose a special action to be taken: (a) With regard to the ratification of the Opium Convention of 1912, progress—even if slow—can be reported among the States Members of the League.\n\nA further step forward of great importance is the fact that, by the Treaty of Lausanne, Turkey has now undertaken to adhere to the Convention. In view of the great importance of Turkey as an opium-producing country, the Committee has considered it desirable to recommend that Turkey should be invited by the Council, as soon as she has actually ratified the Convention and put it into force, to send a representative to the Advisory Committee. (**Resolution 2.**)\n\n(6) The Fifth Committee has learnt from the reports of the Advisory Committee that it is still waiting for the ratification of the Convention by Switzerland which had been expected in consequence of the declaration made last year by M. Ador on behalf of the Swiss Government and mentioned in the report of this Committee to the Assembly. The same is the case also with Persia, although the Persian Delegation has repeatedly recommended to the Government to withdraw its reservation.\n\nThe urgent importance to the whole work of such ratification was emphasised in the Fifth Committee by several Delegates, while on the other hand the Delegates of Switzerland and of Persia have both explained, in declarations annexed to the Minutes of the Committee, the reasons which until now have made it difficult for their Governments to ratify the Convention of 1912. In Switzerland, the question of ratification of the Opium Convention has raised problems partly juridical and partly economic. The juridical problem concerning the power of the Federal Government in relation to the sovereignty of the cantons has, however, already been solved, while the economic side of the question is still under discussion. In Persia, the greatest difficulty consists in finding some lucrative cultivation for the peasants which might replace the cultivation of the poppy. Persia would welcome the calling of an economic conference to study such practical difficulties. Both Delegates have again confirmed the interest and endeavours of their Governments in overcoming such difficulties, and the declaration of M. Ador finishes with an assurance that \"the Federal Council is still faithful to the principle expressed in the declaration of last year\" and that \"its active co-operation in the great task undertaken by the League of Nations in the field of dangerous drugs\" will, it is hoped, soon be established.\n\nThe importance of ratifications by countries so deeply interested in the production of and trade in opium and other drugs as those just mentioned is clearly evident, the endeavours of the Advisory Committee to bring about a control of production and limit of abuse being more or less hopeless so long as a full co-operation between interested Powers has not been attained. The adherence even of countries which can be counted neither among producers nor among manufacturers of opium, etc., is also of great importance, such countries easily becoming centres of illicit traffic<sup>1</sup>.\n\nThe Fifth Committee therefore recommends that the Council should, once more, make an appeal to the Governments concerned. (**Resolution 3.**)\n\n(c) With regard to the system of import certificates, unanimously approved by the Assembly in 1921 and again recommended in 1922, the information has been given that at present twenty States have adopted this system and put it into force, while thirteen other States have accepted the principle. The Advisory Committee regrets, however, that a number of States Members of the League, and Parties to the Opium Convention, have not yet signified their adoption of this system.\n\nA resolution was passed by the Assembly last year, asking the Advisory Committee to examine the question of the measures to be taken towards countries not adopting the import certificate system. The complicated and technical character of the issues involved in the resolution mentioned was examined by the Advisory Committee at its extraordinary meeting in January this year.\n\nAs, however, the adherence of the three important countries, Switzerland, Persia, and Turkey, would make the solution of the whole question much easier, and as these countries had all given hopes of their ratification of the Convention at an early date, Switzerland having declared itself willing to adopt also the import certificate system, the Advisory Committee resolved to postpone a final decision in regard to the Assembly's resolution.\n\nThe following countries Members of the League have not yet ratified the Opium Convention: Albania, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Paraguay, Persia, Switzerland.\n\n* Amongst such States are: France, Roumania, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes.\n\n- 3 - \n\nIn view of the urgency of this matter, the Fifth Committee proposes to the Assembly a resolution in which the Advisory Committee is requested to proceed with its investigations of the question and to report specially to the next Assembly on the whole situation. (**Resolution 4.**)\n\n(d) During the past year, the Advisory Committee has further been engaged in this work of investigating the question of the world's needs of the manufactured drugs for medicinal and scientific uses with a view to the eventual limitation of the productions of those drugs. Much valuable material has been sent to the Committee in annual reports and otherwise; a series of documents now exists for the first time regarding the cultivation of opium in the world (`Document O.C.109`), its production in China (`Document O.C.117`), the quantities of narcotic drugs considered as necessary by the Governments (`Document O.C.115`), the world's requirements of such drugs (`Document O.C.116`),\n\nThe Committee is, however, still without the statistics of the production of the drugs in France and Holland, and a number of countries have failed to supply the Committee with estimates of the amount of the drugs required for the internal consumption of their countries, as recommended by the third resolution of the Assembly last year. The failure to supply this information creates a great difficulty for the Advisory Committee.\n\nThe Delegate of the Netherlands has reminded the Fifth Committee of the declaration, made at an earlier date also by the Netherlands delegate before the Advisory Committee, with regard to the reasons which make it impossible for the Government of that country to publish the statistics of manufacture of morphine and cocaine, so long as other countries parties to the Convention are not yet co-operating in the same manner.\n\nThe Delegate of France, on his side, declared that, as soon as possible, the statistics would be sent to the Advisory Committee by the French Government.\n\n(e) A few words must be said as to the position in the Far East. It is satisfactory to note that the efforts made to stop the illicit traffic in the drugs in this part of the world have not been without result and that large seizures have been made by the authorities. The situation appears, however, to remain very grave. In China, the cultivation and sale of opium have increased and it would appear from the latest reports that they are now being carried on to an enormous extent. The smuggling of the manufactured drugs also continues, in spite of the measures taken by the Japanese and other Governments. It will be seen from the fifth report of the Advisory Committee that new and more stringent regulations have been brought into force in Japan and we may perhaps express a hope that the Japanese Government will be able, even in the terrible catastrophe which has fallen upon that country, to maintain the efforts which it has begun to stop this evil.\n\nIn accordance with a recommendation made last year by the Advisory Committee with the approval of the Council (July 21st, 1922), the authorities of Japan and China have now, as communicated to the Fifth Committee by the Japanese delegate, entered into negotiations with a view to establishing a mixed Commission of Control of the traffic in opium and other drugs.\n\nThe Fifth Committee has learned from the reports of the Advisory Committee that it has found the time ripe for taking measures towards a more effective application of Chapter II of the Opium Convention concerning the \"gradual suppression\" of the use of prepared opium in territories where such use has not yet been prohibited, as well as to a reduction of the quantity of raw opium imported into these territories for the purpose of smoking.\n\nBasing itself on a resolution passed by the Advisory Committee, the Fifth Committee proposes that a Conference should be called for this purpose (**Resolution 5**).\n\nThis resolution was passed in the Fifth Committee by a majority, a division of opinion having been expressed with regard to the question of the composition of the Conference, as well as to the words \"for the purpose of smoking\".\n\nThe American Delegation, while agreeing with the resolution as carried, made, with regard to the meaning of these words, the following reservation, with which the French delegate associated himself:\n\n\"The representative of the United States of America desires to place on record that the term 'opium for smoking' appearing in Resolution 2, does not occur in Chapter II of the Hague Convention of 1912, which refers only to prepared opium, and that the use of the said term 'opium for smoking' is not to be construed as an interpretation of the Convention.\"\n\n(g) With great satisfaction, we read in the report that the Advisory Committee, in reviewing the work carried out during the past two years, has found that the information now available makes it possible to take steps towards a limitation of the production of the drugs. It has proposed that the Governments concerned in such production should enter into immediate negotiations to consider whether an agreement could be reached on this point.\n\nThe Fifth Committee recommends a resolution to be passed to the effect that a conference should be called also for this purpose, suggesting at the same time, for the consideration of the Council, the advisability of enlarging this Conference so as to include within its scope all countries which are Members of the League, or Parties to the Convention of 1912, with a view to securing their adhesion to the principles that may be embodied in any Agreement arrived at. (**Resolution 6.**) With regard to this suggestion, the Delegate of the Netherlands declared that, although in full sympathy with the object of the proposed conference, the reasons for its extension did not appear...",

At the present wage level the cost would amount to approximately £3,750,000 if the construction were carried out at Kiel, or about £3,550,000 if constructed in the naval dockyard. In comparison with the building costs in other navies, our main disadvantage is the armament, which costs more for the reasons previously given. The actual ship and engine construction on the other hand is on a level with that of foreign countries. The limited displacement renders necessary the employment of the finest technical materials and methods, so as to save weight and space.\n\nIn the proposed programme of construction, the building of four of these armoured ships is distributed over the next few years in such a manner that the yearly quota for new construction will average £3,050,000.\n\nThe latest cruisers will be fitted with powerful Diesel engines and the new armoured ships will be fitted entirely with internal combustion engines.\"\n\nReconstruction. The battleship Schleswig Holstein, which was modernised about two years ago and fitted with a fighting mast with a director control tower, has been overhauled and reconstructed at Wilhelmshaven during the winter months. In order to eliminate funnel smoke, the foremost funnel has been joined with the middle funnel, as in the case of the Schlesien.\n\nHOLLAND.\n\nOn 17th February, the First Chamber passed the bill for the amalgamation of the Ministries of War and Marine. According to a memorandum issued by the Minister previous to the debate, it is intended to effect the amalgamation on 1st September, 1928. Although the organisation of the new Ministry of Defence has not been definitely fixed it is probable that it will be housed in the War Ministry in the offices at present occupied by the General Staff, and that the latter will be transferred to the present Ministry of Marine building. The post of Secretary-General for War and Secretary-General of Marine will be abolished, and it is expected that the present Secretary-General for War will become Secretary-General of the Ministry of Defence.\n\nITALY.\n\nThe Crown Prince of Italy on board the Cruiser San Georgio is at present paying a formal visit to the colony of Eritrea. On his way there he landed in Egypt and was also entertained by the Governor-General of the Sudan.\n\nAn expedition to the North Pole, which has been organised by General Nobile, is expected to set out about the end of March or\n\n21\n\nearly in April. The cable ship Citta di Milano, which has been specially fitted out for the purpose, will be accompanied by the newly constructed airship Italia (N.4). The expedition, which is financed partly by the Italian Government and partly privately, will consist of fifteen scientists and a Press correspondent. They will proceed to Kingsbay on Spitzbergen whence they purpose to cross the North Pole to the coast of America. The intention is to land on the Polar ice and, if possible, to find new land between Svalbard and Franz Joseph's Land.\n\nSOVIET UNION.\n\nState of the Baltic Fleet. The following is from a recent report:— The Soviet Naval authorities have made great efforts to bring the three dreadnoughts Marat, Paris-Commune and October Revolution into a proper state of fighting efficiency, and these ships are now considered by them to be in a satisfactory condition in regard to their hulls, machinery and armament. The cruiser Profintern was fully armed during the summer of 1927, and is stated to have attained a speed of 30 knots (this is probably an exaggeration).\n\nAt the end of the summer cruise eight destroyers were considered to be in a satisfactory condition in regard to their hulls and machinery. The remaining destroyers required repairs on a large scale. Eight of the submarines are reported to be in good order and fit to carry out defensive duties.\n\nIt is hoped that the dreadnought Michael Frunze will be ready to join the fleet during the year 1928.\n\nSWEDEN.\n\nThe Swedish Naval authorities continue to show concern for the general condition of the fleet.\n\nIn his Official Report for 1927, the Commander-in-Chief, Coastal Fleet, stated that the older battleships and torpedo craft were so worn out as to be useless for war purposes and unsafe in bad weather. He insisted that the 200 days allowed for training of conscripts was totally inadequate and that it was essential that the period be increased to one year. The stationing of ships at Stockholm during the winter he considered unsatisfactory and recommended that in future the armoured ships should be at Karlskrona from January to April.\n\nThe training of the Coastal Fleet had shown the need for complete co-operation between it and the flying boats. For this an aircraft carrier was essential.\n\nAllowing for the conditions the general training during the year was stated to be satisfactory, especially the gunnery training of the Sverige class.\n\nThe usual commissionings of torpedo craft, submarines, etc., for summer training this year will take place during April.\n\n135",

        "content_text": "## CHINESE HOSPITALITY\n\n### LUNCH AT THE KAM LING RESTAURANT\n\nOnce again the Chinese community of Hong Kong has distinguished itself by extending generous hospitality on the occasion of a Royal visit to the Colony. On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

IVIMey Cook,\n\nand Anbury; in the United States as Club Root; in France as hernie; in Italy as ernia; in Germany as Kropfkrankheit; in Holland as Knolvææet and in Denmark as Kaalbrok. The life history has already been described as the type in this paper and is illustrated in Text figure 1.\n\n2. P. Fici-repentis Andreucci.\n\nAndreucci, A. Archivio Botanico. Vol. 2. Pp. 18-28. 1926.\n\nSpores spherical, 1.5 in diameter, with thin smooth hyaline membranes. Free, not joined in groups. Spores on germination give rise to swarm spores 2.7 long with a flagellum equal in length to the swarm spore. Swarm spores develop into amoeba and these into plasmodia. Plasmodia aggregate to form macrocysts which subsequently produce fresh plasmodia. Plasmodia finally produce spores.\n\nThe organism causes hypertrophy of the roots of Ficus repens, the galls being up to 5 cms, in diameter. Once recorded from a garden in Siena, Italy.\n\nI have not been able to examine slides of this species and this description is based upon the original description. Material of this species, which is in my possession is too dry to allow sections to be obtained which will confirm the work referred to.\n\nP. Diplantherae (Ferdinandsen & Winge), Cook nov. comb. (Pl. 13, fig. 2)., Syn. Ostenfeldiella diplanthera Ferdinandsen C. & Winge O. Ann. Bot. Vol. 28. Pp. 643-649. 1914.\n\nSpores spherical 4 in diameter with smooth yellow walls. Spores not enclosed in a common membrane, nor arranged in a definite system. Plasmodia produced from the spores very large 125μ-200μ in diameter and completely filling the host cells. The organism causes hypertrophy of the host, attacking the stem. Found on Diplanthera Wrightii, on the island of St. Croix, in Danish West Indies, and recorded from material preserved in alcohol only.\n\nOwing to the conditions under which the material was preserved only a rough general examination was possible and very little is known regarding the life-history up to the production of spores.\n\nGenus 2. Sorosphaera. Schröter. (Pl. 14, fig. 1).\n\nSchröter, J. Cohn's Kryptogamenflora von Schlesien. Vol. 3. Pp. 1-500. 1886-1897.\n\nSpores arranged in hollow spore-balls, spherical or ellipsoidal in shape. Individual spores ellipsoidal or pyriform and the whole spore-ball enclosed in a common membrane, one spore-ball being produced from each plasmodium. Spores on germination give rise to swarm spores, which fuse in pairs, producing fresh plasmodia. Infection occurs chiefly through root hairs. The species cause some hypertrophy to the host tissue, though only when the fungus enters the cortical tissue is it well marked.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist Supplement.\n\nNo. 1.\n\nPlate 15, figure 1.\n\nSorodiscus Callitrichis, Spores x 320.\n\nPlate 15, figure 2.\n\nPRINTED BY S.C.M.

The Earl Howe, Re Taxation of Norwegian Officers.\n\nIt has been brought to our attention that the Examiner of Income Tax in Hong Kong has decided that where a Norwegian ship arrives and stays in Hong Kong for a total period of ninety days during a year, i.e., from April 1st to March 31st, Norwegian officers would come within the ambit of Hong Kong Income Tax provisions.\n\nWe are writing to enquire as to whether exemption from taxation cannot be agreed, having regard to the exemption which has been applied by the Income Tax Authorities in this country.\n\nIn this respect we would inform you that, in August last we were advised by the Inland Revenue Authorities that, after full consideration it had been decided that officers and men of the merchant navies of Norway, Poland, Holland and Belgium who were normally resident outside the United Kingdom but who were now working from United Kingdom ports would not be charged United Kingdom Income Tax in respect of their salaries or wages.\n\nIn addition, a similar practice would be followed in the case of French and Danish Officers and men who were serving on French or Danish ships which were requisitioned by the British Government and who continued to serve on them.\n\nHaving regard to the foregoing, we hope that...\n\nCopy to `T.7.0.`  \nPage 6  \nPage 18",

Engineer, was also very efficient. My squad at Depot No. 1, to which I was attached, saved 17 persons, and the 5 others under the command of Messrs. Weller, Graye, Holland, Reynolds, and Tu-tak-ham, rescued about the same proportion each. In the course of my duties, I had to assist in taking out the bodies of a number of Indian soldiers who had been killed and buried under the ruins of the building which was being used as the Headquarters of the volunteers. The building was in Peak Road, near the Peak Road tram stop. This building received a direct hit from a heavy bomb, probably 200 or 300 kilograms; being badly built, it was completely demolished, and of the 250 Indian soldiers who were in it, about 100 took refuge in Government Tunnel. They were so overcome by fear that it was impossible to get them to come out for 5 days. All the others were killed. Our squad succeeded with great difficulty in getting out 16 bodies from under the ruins. The remainder were covered with lime.\n\n9. \nThe Governor of Hong Kong, His Excellency Sir Mark Young, visited the scene while rescue work was on; he was extremely friendly, very attentive, calm, and decided, and also very optimistic, and he impressed me strongly with his calm courage and resolution. I was very sorry to learn that the Japanese kept him in solitary confinement at the Peninsular Hotel.\n\n10. The work of Naval and Military Demolition Squads was absolutely ineffective. No essential service was interrupted for more than a week. The Naval dockyard was working as before, and the dry dock was not in any way damaged. The Naval Work Shops at Kowloon, the electric power station, and the ferry were all working normally. I would here say that no British technical staff co-operated with the Japanese. In the Japanese newspaper \"Hongkong News\", which has taken the place of the \"South China Morning Post\", it is obvious that a British subject is collaborating. It is, however, impossible to say who this is or to give the names of any other collaborators.\n\n11. The fall of Hong Kong after only a semblance of defence of 19 days surprised many people. It would appear that the defence was not as thorough as it should have been; there was little co-operation, no offensive spirit; men were badly trained, living in too much comfort, and knowing nothing about the nature of the battle area. The troops were also allowed too much alcohol.\n\n12. Immediately after the armistice, the Chinese set about looting systematically all European houses and caused more damage than the Japanese bombardment. The contempt of the Chinese for the whites has become more and more marked after the fall of Hong Kong and Singapore.\n\n13. I left Hong Kong without difficulty on the 16th of March. I had to leave my wife there. I feel that as from April 1st, it would be very difficult for a neutral to live there. All Consulates were shut on the 9th of March by the orders of the Japanese Governor, and the French Consul, Mr. Reynaud, who did everything he could to assist Free Frenchmen to escape, helped me and my friend Captain Chevillard. The journey from Hong Kong to Fort Bayard (Kwang Chun Wan) was made on board the s.s. Shirogane Maru, and we arrived on the morning of the 18th. Thanks to the help of a friend at Fort...",

The \"Military Investigation Bureau\" (Kwan hsi Teo Cha Tuen) is in the Windsor House Dairy Farm. The local government (Mån Chin Teng) is situated in Jardines' Office. The Gendarmes are located in Gloucester Building. The Foreign Bureau and Passport Office are in the west wing of the ground floor of Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. The Chartered Bank is open to change military yen notes; each person gets 5.00 yen each time, and only about 1,000 yen in notes are changed a day. The Sanitary Department Water Works is on the ground floor of the Stock Exchange Building. The following offices and Buildings have been taken up by the Japanese authorities - Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Building, Chartered Bank, Holland House, Stock Exchange Building (ground floor), St. Francis Hotel, National City Bank (whole building), Marina House (telegraph office is established there), Loke Yew Building, Gloucester Hotel including lounge, Windsor House, Exchange Building, and Jardines Building. The Post Office is used as usual. They are now concentrating on removing all metals and every kind of stores from Hong Kong. Up to 30/1/42, more than 40 transports have departed with military stores, trucks, and all kinds of metal goods. The godowns in Kowloon are being systematically emptied, and all stores from military establishments which were practically undestroyed have been stocked on the wharves in Kowloon and are being loaded. On the Murray Parade Ground, Hongkong Cricket Club Ground, and the Happy Valley are stocked most of the automobiles of Hong Kong and Kowloon, and gasoline stocks and armoured cars and whippet tanks (Bren carriers) ready for loading onto vessels. Before I left, I have reliable reports that over 170,000 bags of rice have been removed from Hong Kong. The Red Cross vessel sunk by a submarine contained 50,000 bags of rice and 2600 Japanese soldiers (not wounded). I have personally seen stocks of Kodak Company, Lane Crawfords, Hongkong Hotel Dairy Farm being removed by truckloads, besides several company godowns being opened and stocks taken away. The Japanese have the intention to evacuate at least 600,000 Chinese and then restrict any increase in the population and convert Hong Kong into a naval base connected with the fortifications of the Canton Delta. The Japanese planes which have visited Hong Kong, I have noticed most fighters, have German aviators, and the bombers mostly Japanese. I have noticed many German advisers, and I understand that the Germans are in charge of direct artillery operations. I have noticed many familiar Hong Kong faces working with the Japanese, most prominent being Mr. Carroll of Carroll Brothers, Brokers, and several others.\n\nI am not mentioning other details as you may be aware of the same already.\n\nAssuring you of my best services,\n\nI etc.,\n(sd) K.E.

In my opinion his reason for anxiety on this score is that he realises that his political opponents will attack him over Hong Kong and he wishes now to forestall any criticism concerning Chinese ports.\n\n5.\n\nOn returning to my office I found F.O. 934. I think that course of action suggested therein will have a most unfortunate effect on our future relations with Generalissimo and his Government in view of fact the Generalissimo suggested delegating surrender to U.S. in his capacity of C.-in-C. China theatre. Had we been able to contribute to the capture of Hong Kong I feel we might have had some reason to object, but unfortunately we have done nothing and had the war lasted a few weeks longer the Colony would undoubtedly have been liberated by Chinese forces.\n\n6.\n\nI would like to suggest for your consideration possibility of representative of H.M. Government being nominated to accept civic and territorial surrender of Hong Kong from Japanese Governor. Whilst at the same time British representative could accept military surrender of Japanese garrison on behalf of the C.-in-C. China theatre. This compromise would be something similar to the surrender of German forces in Holland to C.-in-C. 21st Army Group. I do not know whether such a course of action would be acceptable to the Generalissimo, but it seems a possible solution to the present impasse.\n\nT.O.O. 260300Z\n\nCirculation.\n\nFirst Sea Lord.
