The friendly feeling and general sympathy they have won have called forth the expression of cordial respect and the sincere utterance of the good wishes contained in the address which will be presented to the General this afternoon.\n\nAt the moment when General Sargent is leaving the colony, a brief review of his long and honourable career, compiled from the Army List, may not be uninteresting to his numerous friends and well-wishers. Lieut.-General John Neptune Sargent, C.B., was born on the 18th June, 1826, and received his commission as ensign in the 95th Regiment on the 19th January, 1844. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant on the 11th September, 1846, served with his Regiment in China, and obtained his company on the 18th November, 1853. He accompanied the 95th Regiment on the Eastern Expedition of 1854, and was recommended for the Turkish medal for the Danubian campaign by General Beatson, to whom he volunteered his services while on leave to assist in searching for boats to cross the river and attack the Russians. Captain Sargent served in the Crimean campaign in 1854-55, and took part in the Battle of Alma, where he was wounded. For his conduct in this action he was specially mentioned in the Commanding Officer's official report for \"determined bravery while leading the attack of the right wing\" of his Regiment up the heights of Alma. He was also engaged in the repulse of the powerful sortie on the 26th October. In the Battle of Inkerman he signally distinguished himself. In this famous battle he succeeded to the command of his Regiment and brought it out of action, and at a crisis when every rifle was of vital importance he used one with remarkable effect, especially when cut off from the British position by the Russian Column that occupied the ground whence the 95th Regiment had charged.\n\n## \nHe was engaged in the siege and was present at the fall of Sebastopol, on which occasion he was wounded. He was most strongly recommended for promotion for his services at Inkerman as a \"most zealous, meritorious, and brave officer,\" and as a result received the rank of brevet-major, while he was also awarded the Medal with three clasps, 5th Class of the Medjidie, the Turkish medal, and was created a Knight of the Legion of Honour. He joined The Buffs on the 25th August, 1857, and was gazetted lieut.-colonel on the 29th July, 1859.\n\nHe served with The Buffs in the campaign of 1860 in China, including the action of Sinho, in which he commanded the advanced guard, and the taking of Tonghoo. He was placed in permanent command of the outpost towards the Taku Forts, and was twice mentioned in despatches. Subsequently, he was appointed Commandant of the Taku Forts and Allied Commissioner. For his conduct in the China war, he was commended by Sir Robert Napier for \"good judgment, determination, and high military qualities,\" and was recommended to the Commander-in-chief by Sir Hope Grant in the following terms:-\" I would most strongly recommend this officer to the favourable consideration of His Royal Highness. He was one of the most active and useful officers in the field, who was in a position of great responsibility, and who performed his duties to my entire satisfaction.\" The reward of these services was a medal with clasps and the Companionship of the Most Distinguished Order of the Bath. He was made brevet-colonel on the 29th July, 1864, and promoted to the rank of major-general on the 11th January, 1877. General Sargent was appointed to the command of the Troops in China and the Straits Settlements in February, 1882, arrived in Hongkong on the 31st March following, and he was gazetted lieut.-general on the 18th October, 1884. This is a lengthy and brilliant record, and its subject would be a fitting recipient of the order of knighthood at the hands of Her Most Gracious Majesty, to whom he has been so loyal and zealous a servant.\n\nPage 240", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-236 - Others - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336143, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 228, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "## APPENDIX\n\nThe Hongkong Daily Press, evidently deriving his knowledge of General Sargent's war services from Hart's Army List, arrived at the erroneous conclusion that he was promoted for his services at the Battle of Inkerman. He was recommended for promotion in the words quoted, when serving with his Regiment during the siege, but he did not receive that honour until the fall of Sebastopol, when he was again wounded, as mentioned in Despatches; and in the return called for of officers of the 95th Regiment \"who served with zeal and distinction during the siege,\" General Sargent is shown as the senior of the three Captains named. Colonel Hume was then in command of the Regiment, and in his temporary absence, when it was commanded by Colonel Heyland, an order came for the submission of two names to receive the first two Crosses of the Legion of Honour to be given to the Regiment, and the names sent in were those of Captain Sargent and Private Abbott.\n\nLike the gentlemen who prepared and signed the Address, the Editor of the wharf about a quarter past three, and later his Excellency the Governor, attended by his Aide-de-camp, appeared on the scene. General Sargent, accompanied by Mrs. Sargent and the Misses Sargent, arrived in chairs some time afterwards. On the General's stepping out of his conveyance, the guard of honour presented arms, the Band striking up at the same time, after which three cheers and one, or rather three cheers more, were given for the gallant veteran. After bidding his military and other friends adieu, General Sargent, accompanied by Governor Bowen, General Cameron, and a number of other officers, proceeded to the launch, upon stepping on board of which the shore battery fired a salute. The Band was then marched down to the wharf and formed up at the landing place, and as the launch moved off from the pier, they struck up \"Auld Lang Syne,\" vigorous cheers being given at the same time for the departing veteran. The playing and the cheering continued until the launch had placed a long stretch of water between her and the wharf, the General during all this time standing up, with his face turned towards the pier and his right hand up to his head in military saluting fashion, while the Governor, General Cameron, and other officers remained on the wharf bareheaded, waving adieus to General Sargent. As the launch steamed past, salutes were fired from the Victor Emanuel and the U.S. flagship Trenton. A very large number of the leading and other residents of the various Nationalities in Hongkong had assembled on the mail steamer waiting for the General, the Volunteers being in force in full dress uniform. The upper deck, in fact, was crowded, and it was with difficulty one could push one's way through.\n\n(\"The Address, with list of names and the General's reply, here follows)\n\nHis war services, briefly summarized at the Horse Guards for submission to Her Majesty the Queen by His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in the words published in the Army Estimates for 1875-76, under the head of \"Rewards for Distinguished Services,\" were as follows:--\n\"Served: In the Danubian Campaign of 1854, and in the Crimea; present at the Battle of Alma (wounded and mentioned for determined bravery); repulse of the sortie on the 26th of October; the Battle of Inkerman, where he commanded his regiment and brought it out of action, using a rifle himself with remarkable effect, and was wounded at the fall of Sebastopol (mentioned in Despatches, the Brevet of Major, Medal with three clasps, 5th Class of the Medjidie and Turkish Medal, and Knight of the Legion of Honour).\n\nAlso in the campaign in China in 1860 with the 3rd Foot, including the action of Sinho, in which he commanded the advanced guard, and the taking of Tonghoo; in command of the advanced outposts towards the Taku Forts, and as Allied Commissioner (most favourably mentioned in Despatches, Medal with Clasp and Companion of the Bath).\"\n\nAt the Battle of Alma, the 95th Regiment had six officers killed (including \n* This occurred in a very critical position, where every rifle was of the greatest importance, especially when cut off as he was for a time by another Russian column that occupied the ground whence the 95th had been ordered to charge the enemy down the hill; and his shot-holed great coat and forage cap, (the dress worn by the 2nd Division,) showed how hard the enemy tried to take his life.\n\nPage 212", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-236 - Others - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336144, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 229, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "## General Sargent's Military Career\n\nOne attached), and 12 wounded, and 45 Non-Commissioned officers and men killed, and 128 wounded, and the Battle of Inkerman left Sargent one of the only six officers remaining with the remnant of the Regiment.\n\nThe British loss in killed and wounded at the Battle of Inkerman was 2,357, out of our 7,464 who fought in that field.\n\nGeneral Sargent has, throughout his military career, been conspicuously persevering in his efforts to get to the front when active service offered and duty called. 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.

In almost all cases I have adopted your suggestions.\n\nAs I am writing to support you, and at your request, I do not wish to say anything that you cannot agree with: otherwise, I see no reason to alter it on my own account. But I still think it necessary to mention that you have asked me to write it. As a soldier I am used to accept decisions without question, and after Lord Derby's letter I should not have thought of writing, except to support you in your reply to it. This must appear on the face of my letter.\n\nBelieve me, very truly yours,\n**J. N. SARGENT.**\n\n(Sent 9 A.M.)\n\n(e) My letter of the 9th December, 1884, to Sir George Bowen, in which I advised him not to apply for leave to go home, and said, \"Stick to your post while there is any chance of our being brought into the war between France and China. If you ask to go home now, you may injure your family and yourself. I am one of the last to intentionally injure any man except in self-defence and fair fight, and being told that you have taken my letter so much to heart I hereby withdraw it, provided you return it to me intact and upon the distinct understanding that if you or any of your friends, either here or elsewhere, ever refer to it, or to any part of it, I will reproduce it.\"\n\nIt should be explained that my reason for using the words \"any part of\" my letter was because of the practical proof Sir George Bowen had given of his treachery, and because the word \"part\" had been suggested by the Colonial Secretary when he was trying to persuade me to withdraw only a part of my letter after I had positively refused to withdraw a word of what I had written.\n\n(d) From the public address which was delivered at the \"ovation\" I received on my departure from Hong Kong, as follows:\n\n| Text |\n|------|\n| \"Of your services rendered to the Government of the Colony in the Executive Council we have no means of knowing, they have been rendered so quietly and unobtrusively; but we do know that you have, at all times and in all ways, strengthened the hands of the Civil authorities by your counsel, by your example, and by your unfailing support.\" |\n\nSuch was His Royal Highness's high opinion of the way in which I did my duty as a soldier, that he selected me for the \"Reward for Distinguished and Meritorious Services;\" this distinguished mark of high approval was further emphasised by the fact that it was entirely unsought by me. I never asked to have my name placed upon the long list of Generals and Colonels who had applied for this honour. What I did for the Reward was summarised at the Horse Guards from the records there for submission by His Royal Highness to Her Majesty the Queen, and published in the Army Estimates for 1875 and 1876 in the following words:\n\n**COLONEL JOHN NEPTUNE SARGENT, C.B.**\n\n\"Served in the Danubian Campaign of 1854 and in the Crimea; present at the Battle of Alma (wounded and mentioned for determined bravery); repulse of the sortie on October 20; the Battle of Inkerman, where he commanded his regiment, and brought it out of action, using a rifle himself with remarkable effect, and was wounded at the fall of Sebastopol (mentioned in...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-253 - Public Offices & Others - 1891.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 393318, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-323 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1904 [6-7]", "page_number": 499, "title": "CO129-323 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1904 [6-7]", "content_text": "NOTED\n\nFOR\n\nSECRETARY OF STATE\n\nNo.\n\nCOLONIAL\n\n497\n\n1904.\n\nTelegram.\n\n30785\n\nCypher.\n\nGovernor Sir M.

C. Werner.\n\nCe prétexte n'est donc pas défendable, et il faut arriver au second paragraphe que nous venons de citer et qui a, lui au moins, le mérite de la sincérité.\n\nIl est, croyons-nous, sans précédent qu'une Municipalité, voire même un Parlement, prenne des mesures aussi coercitives dirigées exclusivement contre une personne ou une Compagnie déterminée, et nous croyons pouvoir dire que l'exagération de la malveillance dont est animé, à l'égard de la Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation, le Consul d'Angleterre à Kiukiang, l'amène à provoquer ou à ratifier des décisions de son Conseil Municipal qui confinent au ridicule.\n\nEn d'autres pays Anglais où la concurrence entre Compagnies Anglaises et entre Compagnies Françaises subventionnées est non moins âpre qu'elle ne l'est dans le Yang-tsé, jamais une pareille mesure d'ostracisme n'a été, nous ne dirons pas \"prise,\" mais simplement \"conçue,\" par un fonctionnaire Britannique; et nous ne sachions pas que l'accostage des navires de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, par exemple, ait été jamais interdit à Singapore ou dans tel autre port Anglais, bien que les intérêts en jeu soient infiniment plus importants qu'ils ne peuvent l'être à Kiukiang.\n\nDans la lettre que nous a adressée Mr. E.

Ferrand nous répondit à la date du 24 Février dernier, en nous communiquant une lettre de même date que venait de lui adresser Dr. Clindenning.\n\nNous détachons de cette lettre de Dr. Clindenning, dont l'original est toujours en notre possession, les passages suivants, et nous insistons sur ce point que l'écrivain de cette lettre, qui détenait quinze votes sur vingt-huit à l'assemblée des contribuables, représentait, à lui seul, la majorité.\n\nDr. Clindenning écrit donc que si le frontage en question a été alloué à la Compagnie Japonaise, c'est simplement parce que cette Compagnie était la seule à formuler une demande, et il ajoute :-\n\n(Traduction littérale) \"Si Mr. Racine avait fait une demande pour le droit exclusif au frontage, les six votes de la Mission auraient certainement été placés en sa faveur et, très probablement tous les autres votes, étant donné que beaucoup de nous ici préférerions voir flotter le pavillon Français devant notre Concession que pavillon Japonais.\"\n\nEt plus loin Dr. Clindenning ajoute :-\n\n\"La question de permettre aux différentes Compagnies de sous-louer leurs bulks a été définitivement réglée par le Consul, et non pas par les contribuables.\"\n\nIl nous reste à dire maintenant pourquoi nous continuons à accoster au hulk de la Compagnie Japonaise à Kiukiang, malgré l'avis qui nous a été donné par la dite Compagnie Japonaise le 7 Février d'avoir à ne plus accoster à partir du 10 Février, c'est-à-dire trois jours après.\n\nNous continuons à accoster parce que nous avons passé, avec la Compagnie Japonaise, un Accord, suivant lequel nous utiliserons en commun le hulk de Kiukiang pour les navires de nos deux Compagnies, et qu'il est expressément convenu que cet Accord ne peut être rompu que par un préavis de six mois.\n\nCet Accord a été passé sur l'autorisation qui en a été donnée à la Compagnie Japonaise par Mr. E. C. Werner lui-même, par sa lettre du 27 Août, 1906, lettre dont nous vous avons remis copie il y a quelques jours.\n\nSur la foi de notre Accord avec la Compagnie Japonaise, reconnu par le Consul Anglais à Kiukiang, nous avons pris des engagements multiples avec nos agents, avec des chargeurs, avec nos compradores de navires au sujet des passagers, &c.; et il nous est matériellement impossible, sous peine d'un préjudice incalculable, de ne pas tenir ces engagements. D'autre part, toute personne raisonnable comprendra qu'il n'est au pouvoir d'aucune Compagnie de navigation d'improviser en trois jours une installation complète comme celle qui est indispensable à ces bateaux de rivière pour le chargement et le déchargement des marchandises et des passagers à quai-toute autre solution entraînant un transbordement du navire à la rive étant ruineuse pour une Compagnie de navigation.\n\nMr. E. C. Werner nous a mis sciemment dans une situation impossible, il obéit simplement à des sentiments injustifiés d'inimitié pour notre Compagnie Française, et c'est tout. Nous n'attendons plus rien de lui, mais nous conservons confiance dans l'esprit d'équité de M. le Ministre d'Angleterre à Pékin que la mesure inique qui a été prise par son Consul ne soit pas ratifiée.\n\nNous vous serions reconnaissants, M. le Consul-Général, de vouloir bien saisir d'urgence M. le Ministre de France à Pékin de la situation présente de cette affaire, et avec tous nos remerciements anticipés, nous vous prions d'agréer, &c.\n\n**Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation,**\n\n(Signé) **Les Directeurs**\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### Consul Werner to Sir J. Jordan\n\n**(No. 7.)**\n\nSir,\n\nKiukiang, April 3, 1907.\n\nWITH reference to previous correspondence and to your telegram No. 6 of the 13th ultimo, I have the honour to report that the Municipal Council has now adopted the form of Bund frontage licence in use in Hankow, the only alterations being the insertion of some words prohibiting the placing of ropes, chains, or other impediments in such a manner as to obstruct the approach to the unleased portion of Bund frontage where the public steps and jetty are to be erected.\n\n| Details | Description |\n|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Tonnage due | half a candareen per ton on French steamers admitted to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's hulk under the licence granted to that Company |\n| Revenue | about 1,200 taels per annum |\n\nThe Council has decided to levy a tonnage due of half a candareen per ton on French steamers admitted to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's hulk under the licence granted to that Company. This will produce an addition to the municipal revenue of about 1,200 taels per annum, but the Council, being in affluent circumstances, would have preferred any gain from the new system of licensing to accrue in favour of the British Steam-ship Companies in their keen competition with their foreign rivals. The subsidy granted to the French Company by the French Government enables that Company to carry passengers and cargo at a lower rate than the British Companies can do. A very effective check would have been put upon this subsidy-favoured competition by making the French steamers anchor in the river, since in a small port of call facility in boarding and loading a steamer which aims at travelling between Shanghae and Hankow in a shorter time than other steamers enables it to obtain passengers and cargo which would not be shipped by steamers having no hulk accommodation. Whilst the obligation to anchor in the river would have very largely counteracted the advantages which the Government subsidy gives to the French steamers, the additional advantage of access to the Japanese frontage now enables them to make a very serious inroad upon the freight and passenger business of the British Companies.\n\nOn the 1st ultimo I received from Messrs. Racine, Ackermann, and Co., agents in Shanghae of the \"Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation,\" a letter containing an offer to pay for use of the frontage a similar sum to that paid by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha.\n\nPage 236", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 458214, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-428 - Public Offices - 1915", "page_number": 307, "title": "CO129-428 - Public Offices - 1915", "content_text": "303\n\n11010 SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 6 NOVEMBER, 1915.\n\nOkura & Co.

We do not expect that you will agree with our views in the present state of your feelings and in view of the solidarity of German patriotism which, but for its possible dangers, is truly magnificent.\n\nWe cannot, however, allow our own feelings to be misinterpreted, not even by our \"friends the enemy,\" because there are many amongst them whom we esteem and the friendship with whom must not be broken because Governments declare war.\n\nWe trust that, after the war, also you will recognise that even if one does not share the opinions of the other it would be unnatural, if not insincere, not to refer to matters which are uppermost in everybody's mind!\"\n\nAmsterdam, 11th January, 1915.\n\nI\n\n\"......... From a copy of a Tientsin letter, I observe that our friends are thoroughly indignant and rightly so at your remarks, which, I believe, are similar to those in your letter to Shanghai of the 11th September last to Y...'s firm.\n\nPersonally, I do not believe that any person, unless quite demented or utterly demoralised to such a degree as to be unable to distinguish between right and wrong or between honest truth and criminal hypocrisy, can seriously concur with your opinion on the matter or with the remarks made by you.........\n\nLondon, EC., 19th January, 1915.\n\nAs to your query about our letter to your Tientsin friends, if you will refer to my letter to you\n\n6\n\nof the 27th September, I gave you a very long extract of that very letter, quite five pages of it.\n\nYou rightly assume that it also contained a reference to the matter you now write about, which did not however appear to me of sufficient importance to further extend that long extract.\n\nWe were deploring—in the mutual interest—what to us appeared to be a result of the dangerous doctrines of a certain class of people who upset thereby our mutual business, and the letter dealt exclusively with the result of such upsettal. That is the only time we wrote about this, as we have surely something better to do than discuss politics in business letters.\n\nY..., for his personal glorification, drew quite wrong conclusions from an obviously friendly business letter and we bear with equanimity any prospective harm his action may do us; namely to circulate to all and sundry his reply to this private letter of ours. What vainglorious if not malicious foolishness! That his action will harm us in the eyes of sensible people, we do not believe unless our intentions are wilfully misconstrued.\n\nAt any rate, I myself prefer to be consistent. I can sail under one flag only and cannot simulate the contrary, neither can you. You also know that I am the last man to sacrifice old friends, that I always speak up for them and their interests. They should therefore not mind if I also express views which they may not hold about matters on which there are surely more opinions than one.\n\nAs to the mere business aspect, if Y.'s firm wants to do business with England after the war—and I think they will—an English firm, even\n\nmore than before, will be better able to represent them and to buy more advantageously for them.\n\nWe have, of course, eliminated his firm from our intentions in this regard.\"\n\n7\n\n1\n\n: \n\nL", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-430 - Others & Individuals - 1915.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 464454, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "page_number": 14, "title": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "content_text": "# 12818 SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 24 DECEMBER, 1915.\n\nManners, John.\nMappin & Webb. \nMaritime China.) \nCustom Houses. \n(Throughout \nMarthoul Frères. \nMartin, W., & Co. \nMatheson, G., & Co. \nMavrokephalos & Co., Hankow. \nMcBain, G. \nMcGillivray. \nMcMullan & Co. \nMeiji Trading Company, Shanghai \nMenga, C., Tien-tsin, \nMercantile Bank. \nMethodist Publishing House. \nMeurer Frères. \nMiddleton & Co. \nMiffret, A. \nMing Chong Cycle Company. \nMinistries and Departments of the Chinese Governments, \nMinseng Dispensary, Hankow. \nMitsubishi & Co., Shanghai. \nMitsubishi Goshi Kaisha, Hankow, Canton. \nMitsui Busan Kaisha, Hankow. \nMitsui & Co., Shanghai, \nMolchanoff Pechatuoff & Co., Hankow. \nMoller & Co. \nMonbaron, Charles. \nMoore, L., & Co. \nMoorhead & Halse. \nMorgan Crucible Company Limited. \nMoser, J.
