Given the rules and guidelines provided, I will attempt to process the text.\n\n## Step 1: Identify the Language and Content\nThe text appears to be a mix of languages and does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs in any single language. It seems to be a result of OCR processing errors, possibly from a scanned document or image that contained text in multiple languages and scripts.\n\n## Step 2: Apply OCR Proofreading Rules\nGiven the rules, the primary task is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, and rejoin broken sentences where possible, without rephrasing or rewriting the content.\n\n## Step 3: Analyze the Text\nUpon closer inspection, the text is heavily corrupted and does not seem to contain meaningful content that can be corrected or reformed into coherent paragraphs or sentences without significant context or understanding of the original document.\n\n## Step 4: Attempt to Format and Correct\nHowever, since the text is a mix of languages and is heavily corrupted, directly applying the rules to correct spelling, fix spacing, and rejoin sentences is challenging. The text does not seem to follow a logical structure or contain identifiable historical records related to Hong Kong in a coherent manner.\n\n## Step 5: Consider the Rules for Output\nThe output should be in HTML format using `` for paragraphs and `\n` only when necessary. The task requires preserving the original character, space, line break, and page number information except for corrections.\n\n## Step 6: Realize the Limitation\nGiven the state of the input text, it's not feasible to produce a meaningful output that adheres to the guidelines without more context or a clearer understanding of the original document's content and structure.\n\n## Step 7: Output\nSince the input is not coherent and does not allow for straightforward application of the rules, and given the instruction to output in HTML, the most straightforward approach is to wrap the processed text in HTML paragraph tags. However, due to the nature of the input, significant manual correction or interpretation would be required to make it meaningful.\n\nAGEN Law Officers %100 1 arreed the excel tion /י Eulent chiptirung bis überge cleve and collige Brough the funer Baveler's cate رده به چری ہے کے fuis montly as longin ود. جود رہے ره performed دعو c le & colony like Stangbang Eighty when the Clinics & ا تو دورو دورو دور خو کرده روزها Zame y the holander or نیره پیر is sufficient & مک به ر مام → چرا گریه در بره letters ده hase Coagr Cella دی ہے کہ ہونے کا دین کے letter if we Hex circustands وجود دارد thuught it the settlerday of the chole subtle, if Claude می دا تر (Le ہے کی سی ہے Leas ه با کار و دار با نار رخورد دیون ها Winchest, would rabatt ly ود دیگم نے ہم کر تی ہے۔ ہر کسے حمدی Puyal!) inflich. emale bjoctoni de 1977 Ron? ch.

When the only security that can be offered is dependent for its value upon the fluctuations of an uneasy and irregular market, the lender looks with distrust upon the borrower and merchant, very much preferring to be able to feel his cash, and know that it is safe, than the knowledge that the changes of an hour may deprive him of all.\n\nIt is very much this feeling of timidity and distrust that is now operating among the Chinese merchants and capitalists, and producing the stagnation that is noticeable in almost every department of trade. There are many large hongs in this colony whose entire business is carried on upon borrowed capital which they obtain for short periods according to the extent, and nature of their business at the time, and for which they are obliged to pay high rates of interest, but at a period when values are so irregular and so unsettled, with so many influences tending to depress them as at present, the capitalist takes the alarm, refuses to let his money go out of his hands and thereby brings the merchant to a dead halt. He sees a risk that he is not prepared to take, in accepting as security for his money, an article whose value is so liable to fluctuation as that of cotton. A lesson has no doubt been learned by them in the Tea speculations of the last season, and the disadvantage of having 4 lacs of dollars locked up, as there actually is now in Canton, in an article they are obliged to hold to realize even the interest on their investment, is seen and felt in a forcible manner.\n\nThe news of the large shipments of cotton and opium sounded the alarm to these people, and the late large arrival confirmed their fears, they were thrown into a kind of panic, and disregarding and refusing to recognize the interests of their clients—that is the commercial public—as their own, knowing that money was scarce in Canton as well as here they hastened to withdraw what they could that was already out, and refused all tenders for any new transactions, or to supply money at any rates. The Chinese merchant is thus forced out of the market by no other reason than simply that he has no money, and cannot obtain it. Until a feeling of confidence and trust is therefore restored between the capitalist and merchant, sustained by a firmness in the market, the latter cannot be in a position to trade,\n\n224", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-115 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 267086, "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": "CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12]", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12]", "content_text": "for these Colony by Her Majesty's Past Master General and acting at the times of thres passing of this Ordinance, had, or was vested with, or was entitled to, or was liable to, under Statutes of ... otherwise? whether ...

For the above reason, and because of the frequent changing of the Postal Agents and the unremunerative prospects of the system in a community numbering only about 120 persons, I am not disposed to advise that Amoy be placed upon the List of Money Order Offices yet; but I assured enquirers that the Post Office Agent there would be kept supplied with correct Lists of the Money Order Offices in the United Kingdom, and forms for making requisitions for Money Orders, and that all requests would be invariably attended to in this Office upon receipt of the Money, any excess in their remittances to Hongkong being returned to them in Postage Stamps.\n\n18. At Foochow, Post Office Agent Pelham S. Warren, Esq., the Consulate is situated quite away from the river Min (on the banks of which the Merchants' Offices and Godowns are built,) and the Post Office is consequently but little availed of except for the letters received from or to be dispatched by the Contract Packets leaving Hongkong. The Agent here makes up and receives Mails for and from Keelung and Tamsui in the North of Formosa.\n\n19. At this Port each of the large Mercantile houses keeps a kind of covered house boat in which is conveyed the correspondence of the house to and from Pagoda Anchorage, a distance of about 14 miles, where the Steamers to and from Hongkong, as well as the Tea loading and other ships lie. This anchorage has grown in importance so rapidly that, at the request of the Vice-Consul, a separate Mail containing all letters, &c. addressed to residents or for the vessels lying there, is made up at this Office, and a further separate Mail is made up for the residents at the French Arsenal which is also situated there.\n\n20. I found that the duties of the Post Office at Foochow, owing, possibly, to the Agent having been changed in July last, are but indifferently performed; no complaints were, however, made to me by the residents.\n\n21. The salary of the Agent is £100 per annum, paid by the Imperial Post Office, and the Colonial Government maintains two Coolies at a cost of $5 a month each. The annual profit of the Agency to the Colony is estimated at $1,497.04, and the actual receipts of the Office for last year amounted to $4100.40.\n\n22. The foreign population of Foochow is about 100 persons.\n\n23. In addition to the Steamers plying between Hongkong and Foochow, viâ Swatow and Amoy, there are at present 4 Steamers running regularly between Foochow and Shanghai. The distance from Hongkong being 480 miles whilst that to Shanghae being only 380 miles, a good deal of the business in exchange, &c., which would otherwise be transacted with this place is now done at Shanghae; in fact I was assured on reliable authority that by one Mail, 10 lacs of Dollars were settled at Shanghae by means of these Steamers and that only 3 or 4 lacs were settled here for the same Mail during the present Tea Season, and, that on other occasions, similar but smaller transactions have been effected at Shanghae for want of more regular Mail communication with Hongkong. It is, however, known that the rates of exchange ruling at Shanghae have been somewhat more favourable to the Foochow Merchants during this Tea Season than those obtainable here, and this has partly been the cause of their taking the risk of the loss of a fortnight incurred by going to Shanghae to do business.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-139 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 279433, "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": "CO129-139 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [8-12]", "page_number": 469, "title": "CO129-139 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [8-12]", "content_text": "Received\n\n22196\n\nInstant\n\n818. 13769\n\n462\n\n16 December 1869\n\nI\n\nLECA 14\n\nShave the house\n\nacknowledge receipt of your\n\nThe desirable\n\nNo 818 of the I have\n\nreporting the\n\nOn arrival\n\nHoustong gust\n\nI A the Duke\n\nEditing\n\n2.\n\nA copy of good dispatch\n\nhas been forwarded to H[er] Majesty's\n\nfor information.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-139 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 279766, "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": "CO129-140 - Public Offices - 1869", "page_number": 163, "title": "CO129-140 - Public Offices - 1869", "content_text": "After a perusal of the\n\nSee Leas\n\nReeds latter modified\n\nto withdraw and\n\nnot interested\n\nthe censure\n\ncontained\n\nin my\n\nletter of 20 Alto.\n\nIn ups\n\nInform for\n\nSam.\n\nNot to\n\nform part of\n\nor posting of the\n\nLister\n\nmaker\n\ncommunication\n\nA\n\nconclusion\n\nopposite of professional\n\nknowledge,\n\nbut that\n\nin Lord Framville's view\n\nit does not affect\n\nin the same\n\nway\n\nquestion whether\n\nreceiving\n\nan order\n\non\n\nwhich turns out to\n\nbe impractical\n\nwere\n\njustified in executing\n\nin\n\nit without\n\nfurther instructions\n\nin a way different from that prescribed.

At Shanghai and Yokohama where the British Contract Mail Packets touch, the public, as a rule, prefer the security which the Post Office affords, and except in special cases, with the exception of one firm or possibly two, they send but few letters otherwise than through the Department.\n\n7. Having thus far alluded generally to the chief objects of my mission, I will proceed to report upon each Agency seriatim.\n\n8. At Canton, Post Office Agent Byron Brenan, Esq., the work, which is not arduous, although a mail is sent to and received from Hongkong every day (Sundays and Holidays excepted), is well performed, and, with the exception of an accumulation of Dead Newspapers, I found the Office and the Accounts of the Agent, &c., in good order in all respects.\n\n9. The salary of the Agent is £60 per annum which is paid by the Imperial Post Office, and a Coolie at $7 per month is maintained by the Colony. The annual profit of this Agency to the Colonial Government is estimated at $358.92.\n\n10. The estimated foreign population of Canton is rather under 200, and like Macao, the correspondence to and from Hongkong is exempt from the exclusive privilege of the Post Office under Clause 3 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1862.\n\n11. At Swatow, Post Office Agent B. C. George Scott, Esq., the Consulate, in which, as in all cases, except Shanghai and Yokohama, the Post Office business is conducted, is inconveniently situated, the plot of land on which it stands being divided from the Mercantile quarter by about a mile of sea; I do not, however, consider that it would be expedient to remove the Agency and place it in private hands, because I am satisfied that the community would still, to a great extent, continue the practice of sending their letters on board; neither is the present revenue, nor the additional revenue which might be derived from the Office if it were removed, such as to justify the expense of an Establishment independent of the Consulate, and further the inhabitants, who number only about sixty, raise no objection to sending to the Consulate for and with their Mail letters.\n\n12. The salary of the Agent is £40 per Annum, which is paid by the Imperial Post Office, and a small boat is provided and the wages of two boatmen at $5 a month each paid by the Colony. The annual profit from this Agency to the Colonial Government is estimated at $777.68.\n\n13. At Amoy, Post Office Agent George Phillips, Esq., the Consulate is situated in the heart of the business locality. I found the Post Office in very good order and more free from an accumulation of undelivered letters than at some of the Agencies where Officers of shorter experience than Mr. Phillips are stationed.\n\n14. In addition to the receipt and dispatch of the Mails for the Contract Packets arriving at and departing from Hongkong, the Agent here makes up and receives Mails for and from Takow and Taiwan in the South of Formosa.\n\n15. The salary of the Agent is £100 per annum paid by the Imperial Post Office and the Colonial Government maintains 2 Boatmen and 2 Coolies, at $4 a month each. The annual profit from this Agency to the Colony is estimated at $1,719.82 whilst the actual receipts of the Office in 1868 amounted to $3,463.45. Judging from the sum already realized by the sale of Postage Stamps at Amoy during the present year, I consider myself justified in the belief that the postal prospects of the place are increasing.\n\n16. It was suggested to me that the extension of the Money Order system between the United Kingdom and Amoy would be a great advantage to the numerous Customs' employés and others; but I pointed out the difficulties in the way of this being done inasmuch as there is no Bank at Amoy through which the rate of exchange of the day could be ascertained and covering bills of exchange obtained; there was, however, a willingness evinced to accept Money Orders at 4/2.\n\n17.

L. Delaporte, lieutenant de vaisseau, sur la mission scientifique aux ruines des monuments khmers de Cambodge.\n\nMonsieur le ministre,\n\nAu mois d'avril 1873, M. le ministre de la marine décida qu'un voyage d'exploration serait entrepris au Tonking et me fit l'honneur de me nommer chef de cette mission. Ce voyage ne devant pas commencer avant le retour de la saison sèche, c'est-à-dire avant le mois de novembre, je pensai à utiliser les six mois que nous allions passer d'abord en Cochinchine en faisant une excursion aux ruines khmères. J'en parlai à M. le contre-amiral Dupré, gouverneur de la colonie, qui voulut bien m'encourager dans ce projet et me promettre son concours.\n\nJe m'adressai alors à M. le directeur des beaux-arts, près duquel je trouvai l'accueil le plus favorable, et, sur sa proposition, M. le ministre de l'instruction publique consentit à ajouter à la subvention que son département donnait déjà pour concourir à l'exploration du Tonking, une nouvelle somme de dix mille francs prise sur les fonds des beaux-arts et destinée à me procurer les moyens de recueillir au milieu des ruines une collection qui serait plus tard envoyée en France par les bâtiments de l'État.\n\nJe pouvais aussi compter sur les ressources de la colonie et sur le concours du personnel de la mission de Tonking, que M. le gouverneur m'avait promis de mettre également à ma disposition, pendant l'excursion aux monuments khmers. Enfin, la direction des beaux-arts voulut bien me confier un certain nombre de statues, tableaux et gravures, pour offrir en cadeaux au roi et aux mandarins du Cambodge.\n\nLe 20 mai, la mission d'exploration du Tonking quittait la France. Cinq semaines plus tard nous atteignions la Cochinchine.\n\nDès notre arrivée à Saïgon nous nous occupâmes activement d'organiser l'excursion préparatoire aux ruines, à laquelle nous ne pouvions consacrer qu'un temps limité. M. le gouverneur donna des ordres pour faire armer une canonnière et une chaloupe à vapeur qu'il mit à notre disposition pour toute la durée de ce premier voyage. Les préparatifs furent rapidement achevés, le personnel complété, et au bout d'un mois nous pûmes partir pour le Cambodge.\n\n## Composition de la mission\n\nLa mission que je dirigeais se composait alors de:\n- MM. Bouillet, ingénieur hydrographe;\n- Ratte, ingénieur civil, géologue;\n- le docteur Jullion, naturaliste, envoyé par le Muséum; tous trois venus de France avec moi;\n- Faraut, conducteur des ponts et chaussées, adjoint spécialement pour l'excursion aux ruines.\n- M. le capitaine d'infanterie de marine F... devait nous rejoindre plus tard et s'occuper spécialement des moulages de sculptures et de bas-reliefs.\n\nQuant au matériel, nous emportions en outre un attirail complet de câbles, palans, scies, etc., pour la manœuvre des pierres, du plâtre et du ciment pour les moulages, et tous les objets utiles que les arsenaux de Saïgon avaient pu nous fournir.\n\n## Début de l'excursion\n\nTrois jours après notre départ de Saïgon, les deux bâtiments mouillaient devant la résidence du protectorat français, à Phnom-Penh, capitale du royaume actuel du Cambodge. M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Moura, représentant de la France près du roi, avait reçu les instructions du gouverneur. Il nous reçut avec empressement et informa sur-le-champ le roi de notre arrivée.\n\nLe roi Norodom, malade des suites d'une chute de voiture, se fit excuser de ne pas recevoir officiellement toute la mission; cependant il voulut bien m'accorder une audience particulière. J'en profitai pour lui offrir une partie des cadeaux donnés par la direction des beaux-arts, et je lui expliquai que notre gouvernement, venant lui demander l'autorisation de prendre dans ses États des richesses artistiques auxquelles nous attachions du prix, laissait en échange des objets d'art français. Le roi, me remerciant, me dit que les ordres étaient donnés, et que nous trouverions dans ses États toutes les facilités possibles pour nos recherches.\n\n## Les ruines khmères\n\nLes ruines khmères, que nous allions visiter, sont disséminées sur un grand nombre de points du territoire de l'ancien Cambodge compris entre le 10e et le 14e degré de latitude nord, et le 100e et le 105e degré de longitude est. Par leur nombre, leur importance et la perfection de leur exécution, elles dénotent l'existence d'une civilisation puissante, de grande durée, et d'un art extrêmement remarquable.\n\nEn partie détruits par des guerres, abandonnés depuis plusieurs siècles, presque tous les monuments khmers sont aujourd'hui dans le plus complet délabrement. Leurs abords sont désertés, ignorés et souvent redoutés par les indigènes à qui elles inspirent une terreur superstitieuse. Partout une végétation puissante les envahit, et c'est à la hache à la main qu'il faut tenter de pénétrer jusqu'à leurs sanctuaires.\n\nGrâce au concours empressé de M. Moura, nous pûmes dès le lendemain nous mettre en route, munis de trois interprètes indigènes, et accompagnés d'un mandarin de la cour porteur de lettres du roi pour les mandarins avec lesquels nous devions nous trouver en relations pendant nos excursions.\n\n## Exploration des ruines\n\nLe premier Européen qui les ait signalées à nos jours fut Henri Mouhot, naturaliste français, mort peu de temps après en continuant sa périlleuse exploration de l'Indo-Chine. L'année suivante, le commandant de Lagrée, alors résident français au Cambodge, visita de nouveau les ruines de Battambang et d'Angcor, vues par Mouhot, en décomposa de nouvelles, les étudia et s'efforça de rassembler les documents indigènes capables de servir à reconstituer leur histoire.\n\nUne grande partie du Cambodge est encore explorée et les notions géographiques que nous possédons sur ce pays sont fort incomplètes. M. Moura avait bien voulu nous communiquer une carte qu'il avait récemment dressée d'après ses itinéraires particuliers et les renseignements qu'il avait recueillis près des indigènes. Ces nouvelles indications me permirent de fixer ainsi le plan de notre excursion : nous allions explorer d'abord les nombreuses et importantes ruines des provinces cambodgiennes de Compong-Soai, de Stang et de Siem-reap; de là, nous nous rendrions à Angcor-Tom, à Angcor-Wat et aux environs; si nous en avions le temps, nous irions reconnaître d'autres antiquités khmères signalées dans le nord, et nous ferions à notre retour une courte excursion aux ruines de la province de Battambang.\n\n## Prensat Prathcol\n\nAprès avoir remonté le cours d'eau, pendant deux jours, nous parvînmes à un misérable hameau situé sur l'emplacement de la ville de Compong-Thom, détruite dans une guerre civile récente, et là nous apprîmes que nous ne trouverions dans le voisinage aucun centre de population assez important pour nous fournir les moyens de transport dont nous avions besoin. La seule ville possédant quelques ressources était Stung, chef-lieu de la province du même nom, également située sur les bords d'une grande rivière, et à proximité des ruines.\n\nMuni de ces nouveaux renseignements, j'envoyai prévenir le Thoméa Dechu, haut fonctionnaire alors en mission à Stang, de notre prochaine arrivée, et comme M. l'ingénieur Bouillet avait commencé un levé du cours de la rivière, je prolongeai notre halte de deux jours.\n\nPrensat Prathcol consiste en une enceinte rectangulaire avec portes monumentales ornées de statues de géants et de grands lions. La porte de la face orientale, plus importante que les autres, fait partie d'un édifice complet. Elle est précédée d'une chaussée garnie de balustrades formées par de longs dragons à sept têtes ou de nâgas ou grands bassins à marches de pierre.\n\nAu centre de l'enceinte et à l'extrémité d'une allée intérieure qui fait suite à la chaussée de l'est, s'élève une haute tour. Sa base est en forme de croix grecque avec quatre portes précédées de piliers formant péristyles et supportant des entablements surmontés de frontons avec tympans couverts de bas-reliefs.\n\nCe qui reste de la tour en partie détruite est couvert de sculptures fines, élégantes, et dont l'assemblage ornant le monument sans rompre ses lignes principales, est d'un remarquable effet décoratif.\n\n## Description détaillée de Prensat Prathcol\n\nLe long du soubassement règne un cercle de statues à genoux, les mains jointes. Plus haut, chaque pilastre est orné d'une femme demi-nue tenant une fleur à la main et debout dans une sorte de niche ogivale qu'entourent de fines arabesques. Sur chacune des surfaces courbes qui s'étendent d'une porte à l'autre, on voit, à droite et à gauche, deux groupes symétriques composés de saints et de têtes de dansesuses, et au milieu trois éléphants qui semblent sortir de la muraille, leurs trompes, gracieusement recourbées, se roulent autour de lianes et de branches chargées de feuillages.\n\nLe sommet de ces têtes supporte un entablement orné de moulures sculptées et faisant le tour du monument en reposant aussi sur les chapiteaux des pilastres des portes et des piliers des péristyles. Un énorme oiseau, le corps de femme, la tête couverte d'un diadème et les ailes déployées, se dresse au-dessus de l'éléphant du milieu entre ses pattes. Il paraît un monstre et le long de ses ailes pendent des dragons à plusieurs têtes. De ses griffes relevées en cariatide, il soutient un entablement nouveau. Trois oiseaux fantastiques et plus haut, le second étage, et plus haut encore, le troisième, portent l'entablement supérieur.\n\n## Suite de l'exploration\n\nDeux jours après notre départ de Compong-Thom, nous nous engageâmes de nouveau dans un des nombreux cours d'eau tributaires des lacs. Au bout de trois heures de navigation, une grande percée parut dans la forêt; la rivière se dégagea, et par un beau canal de cent mètres de largeur, nous pénétrâmes d'une façon tout à fait inattendue dans un lac inconnu jusqu'à ce jour.\n\nDeux longues journées d'une navigation extrêmement pénible nous conduisirent à un pauvre hameau près duquel nous laissâmes la canonnière. Nous nous embarquâmes avec notre matériel de campagne à bord de la chaloupe, et au bout de quelques heures nous atteignîmes enfin la ville de Stung.\n\n## Arrivée à Stung et suite du voyage\n\nLe Thoméa Dechu nous reçut avec les démonstrations les plus amicales et nous lui fîmes quelques cadeaux. D'après ses conseils, nous nous décidâmes à quitter la rivière et à continuer notre route par terre; et comme les chars dont nous avions besoin avaient été déjà réunis par ses soins, nous pûmes partir dès le lendemain.\n\nAprès avoir marché pendant quatre jours, parfois au milieu de rivières et de plaines inondées, le plus souvent en forêt, sans routes tracées, nous atteignîmes le petit village de Pracan, situé au milieu d'un groupe de ruines, dans lequel nous allions pouvoir commencer nos opérations.\n\n## Ponteay Pracan, Preasat Prathcol, Preasat Prea Tomrey\n\nLa mission s'installa dans un grand campement construit près du village, et tandis que les mandarins envoyés par le Thoméa Dechu s'occupaient à grand'peine de réunir dans ce pays presque désert les indigènes qui nous étaient nécessaires, nous entreprîmes la reconnaissance préparatoire des ruines.\n\nNotre première visite fut pour la grande et belle résidence de Ponteay Pracan, déjà explorée par le commandant de Lagrée. Nous visitâmes ensuite un monument jusqu'alors inconnu des Européens et appelé par les indigènes Preasat Prathcol. Cette découverte était précieuse, car la grande tour qui occupe le centre de cet édifice et qui en constitue la partie principale, est une des œuvres les plus remarquables de l'architecture khmère.\n\nDes nombreuses statues, des dragons qui ornaient Preasat Prathcol, il ne reste plus que des débris enfouis sous les décombres de la forêt. Nous avons réussi à extraire d'une fouille faite à la porte de l'Est, une remarquable statue à...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-169 - Others - 1874.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 297627, "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": "CO129-173 - Sir Kennedy - 1876 [1-3]", "page_number": 88, "title": "CO129-173 - Sir Kennedy - 1876 [1-3]", "content_text": "Eritona Gast, and of $10 clas\n\nA month\n\n4 94+ Sing\n\nQuae, Chief Drough\n\nDrefisimene\n\nབ\n\nin the\n\nchrogor General's Dep...\n\nt\n\nmor.\n\nNo.\n\ndy 25-\n\nDate.\n\netong trong\n\nNo. 4039\n\nIntercolonial\n\n(Subject.)\n\nrendition\n\nDESPATCH.\n\nRECEIVED\n\nAPR\n\n1876\n\n85\n\nof Absconding Offenders.\n\nForwards remarks and explanations of\n\nGeneral in\n\n1876 by 12.\n\nAttorney the output.\n\nprevious Paper\n\neeply\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nto 1444 of 182 75 on\n\nSo J.

That was the only deposit. Payments have been made by the Bank to Mr. Huffam on account of the estate of Lyall, Still, and Co. On the 8th May, 1868, $35.18 was paid, and on the same day $4,979.62; that was the balance of an account due to the estate. Beyond these the Bank has had no transactions with Mr. Huffam for the estate of Lyall, Still and Co.\n\nMr. H. E. Wodehouse, chief clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office, said--I am not aware Mr. Huffam applied for leave in August last. I should have been aware of it, if in the ordinary course of business the application had passed through the office. I heard he left the colony on the 17th August. I am aware a correspondence took place with the Governor of Macao on the subject.\n\nBy Mr. Francis--It is customary for persons in the civil service to go to Macao from Saturday to Monday without asking special leave. There is a Colonial Office regulation requiring persons entrusted with the custody of public money to give security. I believe Mr. Huffam has not given security as official assignee.\n\nThe Attorney-General said he would submit that that would amount to nothing, the proposition that because a public officer was required to give security and did not give security he was not a public officer.\n\nHis Lordship said there were a great many who had not been called upon to give security until very lately.\n\nMr. Francis said it might form a link in the chain.\n\nMr. J. A. Carvalho, cashier in the Treasury, said he had charge of the money paid in by the Supreme Court. He produced receipts for money paid in on account of the estate of Lyall, Still and Co., amounting altogether to $33,247.30. The two last payments were made by the Official Assignee. The first order for payment out was dated 11th December, 1867, for $13,005.\n\nMr. Francis said that was paid to Mr. Alexander.\n\nThe Attorney General said in Mr. Huffam's accounts his Lordship would see an item of $13,005 received from the Registrar of the Supreme Court.\n\nMr. Francis said that would not make it evidence.\n\nThe witness said the next payment was made on the 5th February, 1868, to Mr. Huffam, and was one of $641. He gave the details of further payments made at various times to Mr. Huffam, the whole amounting to $32,090.50, leaving a balance of $1,157.50.\n\nBy Mr. Francis--For each of those payments there is an order of the Chief Justice or Acting Chief Justice or a warrant of the Governor. There was an account called judicial deposits account. Moneys connected with suits were kept in this account. For this particular estate there was a separate account kept. For a great many years now it has not been usual to pay moneys connected with the Court not being revenue into the Treasury. Fees and things of that kind have been paid in monthly. The official assignee, since 1855, has never rendered any account of his receipts and payments as official assignee into the Treasury, and the Treasury exercises no control over him as such. I don't think the Audit Office ever took note of his accounts.\n\nMr. Plunket, recalled, said he had made up an account of the money he received from Mr. Huffam. As Official Administrator he received deposit notes for $38,131.85, and as Official Trustee $11,827.46, which with the cash in hand amounted to $55,918. These amounts related to thirty-seven accounts. I was a witness for the Crown at the Police Court. The Crown was the prosecutor as I understood. I did not swear any information against Mr. Huffam, nor did I give instructions to any one to initiate these proceedings.\n\nBy the Attorney-General--I considered the circulars which have been put in related only to revenue or unclaimed balances. I cannot say what has been the practice with respect to the custody of large amounts paid in bankrupt estates; I have had no large bankruptcies. In the small bankruptcies I have had the money has been lodged in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. When I arrived there was $4,591 in the office, but I have not kept more than $200 or $300 and latterly not $100.\n\nMr. W. W. Toller, solicitor, and member of the firm of Sharp, Toller, and Johnson, said--My firm has been acting for several of the creditors of Lyall, Still and Co.'s estate, representing about $800,000. The liabilities were very large and there was a great deal of litigation, and several appeals to the Privy Council, so that it was impossible for some years to say what belonged to the estate and what to particular creditors. It became in a more settled state in 1872 or 1873. After that we made frequent applications to prisoner to make up the accounts and declare a dividend. We were unable to get him to do so before he went home. He always made excuses. The excuses were not satisfactory, but we did not take proceedings although we threatened to apply to the court. I was absent from the colony for some time. After my return in February I made a joint application with creditors represented by Mr. Wotton. We both wrote to the prisoner and shortly afterwards a dividend meeting was advertised in the Gazette. The meeting was to be held on the 25th June. It was adjourned by another notice in the Gazette until the 3rd July. I was not present at the meeting. From what I heard of what passed at the meeting I went to see the prisoner at his office on the 8th August. I said to him, \"Mr. Huffam, is not this the day the cheques for Lyall, Still and Co.'s dividend were to be given?\" He replied \"No, the 18th.\" I made a memorandum of the date, and on the 13th went to his office but found he was not there. I made inquiries after him and found he did not attend at all and my firm wrote to him at his house. We had a reply from Mrs. Huffam. I have received no payment on account of this estate, nor have I had a copy of the account current. As solicitors for Liebert we got a judgment against the Official Assignee. A portion of it was paid, and there was a balance of a little less than $5,000. On applying to the prisoner for the balance he said he really had not the money in hand to pay it. I replied that it was a judgment and must be paid, and I said \"I suppose you have money on deposit in the bank.\" He said he had, but the deposit was not due. I said that was of no consequence as I could easily arrange with the bank to cash it before the due date. He then handed me a deposit note for $25,000 on the Hongkong Bank and I took it to the bank and made arrangements for cashing $5,000 of the amount. I paid the amount of the judgment, and handed to Mr. Huffam the balance and also the deposit receipt with an endorsement of what had been done. One of the documents produced by Mr. Smith is endorsed by me and refers to this transaction, the remaining sum of $20,000 ran on to its due date.\n\nBy Mr. Francis--I have been in the Colony since 1867, off and on, practising as a solicitor. During the absence of Mr. Alexander, Mr. Huffam discharged the duties of Registrar and Deputy Registrar. A dividend meeting was advertised in 1868, and we wrote on behalf of some clients objecting to a meeting being held while the litigation in England was going on. I don't remember our doing so on any subsequent occasion. I think Mr. Huffam showed me his accounts before the meeting. I knew that there ought to be about $50,000 in hand, that was all. In 1874 we wrote on behalf of some clients asking what amount of money there was on deposit and in what banks. We got no written answer, and I cannot say we got a verbal one. We never made any application to the court as to the investment of this money. We represent creditors whose claims amount to about three lacs of rupees. None of the creditors have instituted those proceedings, or are we acting for them in them. The letter produced dated December, 1873, is from my firm. (The letter gave the prisoner notice that Henderson and Co., of Manchester, claimed to prove against the estate.) By the Attorney-General--A dividend might have been declared notwithstanding those two letters, reserving sufficient to cover the utmost we could prove.\n\nBy His Lordship--I was in the Colony at the time of the bankruptcy. Mr. Notley, of the firm of R. S. Walker and Co., and Mr. Kay, of the Chartered Bank, were appointed, and the official assignee was to be at liberty to confer with them. I know they were consulted with reference to the sale of some private property of G. F. McLean. They may have done other things that I don't know of, but I don't think they did very much.\n\nMr. W. Wotton, solicitor, said--I represent Mr. Brereton, who is solicitor for certain creditors of the estate of Lyall, Still and Co., representing claims to the amount of $900,000. No payment has been made by the Official Assignee. Some time previously to the 9th May I had been pressing the prisoner to call a meeting. For some time he merely put me off, saying he was making up the accounts and as soon as things... \n\nPage 301", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-182 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 304809, "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": "CO129-186 - Public Offices & Others - 1879", "page_number": 65, "title": "CO129-186 - Public Offices & Others - 1879", "content_text": "## \nin the Bows And the \nJapanen Flag \nand receveal \nbearing \n\n2.

La composition exceptionnelle de la population de cette capitale, où vivent juxtaposés, au nombre d'environ cinquante mille, des groupes de races diverses, Cambodgiens, Annamites, Chinois, Malais, Indiens, avec un certain nombre de négociants européens, exige un mode tout particulier d'organisation communale.\n\nEn ce qui concerne la distribution de la justice, le Gouvernement a préparé un projet de règlement qui, sans déroger au principe de la juridiction exclusive du tribunal français de Phnom-Penh et de la cour de Saïgon sur les sujets français et les étrangers européens résidant au Cambodge, instituera des tribunaux indigènes qui jugeront suivant l'équité, en conformité des coutumes cambodgiennes, mais en se rapprochant autant que possible des principes généraux du droit français.\n\nLa torture et les pénalités barbares des anciennes lois cambodgiennes seront abolies. Un salaire convenable sera assuré aux juges cambodgiens, de façon à permettre la suppression de leurs habitudes invétérées de vénalité.\n\nLa constitution de la propriété individuelle sera sans contredit l'une des œuvres les plus délicates mais les plus fécondes du nouveau protectorat.\n\nLa terre, au Cambodge, est censée propriété exclusive du roi; tous les détenteurs de propriété n'y sont, par suite, que des fermiers ou des locataires soumis à l'arbitraire royal, et auxquels la coutume n'accorde même pas d'indemnité pour les améliorations résultant de leurs soins. Il n'est pas besoin de s'appesantir sur un état de choses aussi barbare. L'article 9 du traité en stipule l'abolition.\n\nDans le projet du Gouvernement, on réserverait d'abord un domaine de la couronne, dotation inaliénable du souverain; le domaine public, également inaliénable, comprendrait les routes, fleuves, canaux, lacs, et leurs rives, ainsi que les édifices ou locaux affectés à des services publics; un domaine de réserve serait formé au moyen des immeubles que l'administration croirait devoir soustraire, en vue d'avantages ultérieurs, à une aliénation immédiate; toutes les autres terres composeraient le domaine aliénable. Celles-ci seraient réparties entre les communes. Les occupants actuels du sol recevront, soit gratuitement, soit à de certaines conditions, selon les cas, des titres définitifs de propriété. Le sol non occupé sera progressivement approprié par voie de vente ou de concession gratuite.\n\n## 37\n\nN 5482\n\nQue l'administration croirait devoir soustraire, en vue d'avantages ultérieurs, à une aliénation immédiate; toutes les autres terres composeraient le domaine aliénable. Celles-ci seraient réparties entre les communes. Les occupants actuels du sol recevront, soit gratuitement, soit à de certaines conditions, selon les cas, des titres définitifs de propriété. Le sol non occupé sera progressivement approprié par voie de vente ou de concession gratuite.\n\nL'esclavage, dont le maintien sous notre Protectorat serait une honte pour la France républicaine, est aboli par l'article 8 de la convention.\n\nNous avons dit plus haut les traits particuliers que cette triste institution affecte au Cambodge.\n\nIl serait malheureusement illusoire de vouloir la faire disparaître d'un trait de plume. Aussi le Gouvernement a-t-il arrêté des mesures de transition, nécessitées par l'état social du Cambodge, qui assureront le résultat final dans un délai relativement court. La responsabilité familiale, l'une des causes les plus iniques de l'esclavage au Cambodge, serait dès à présent supprimée. Le fils ne sera plus esclave pour le crime de son père; les membres de la famille de l'esclave pour dettes resteront libres. Aucune personne libre ne pourra désormais être réduite en esclavage.\n\nLa capture et la vente des sauvages seront interdites. Quant aux esclaves actuellement existants, ceux dont la servitude a pour causes des crimes ou des délits commis par leurs ancêtres ou par des personnes de leur famille, seront libérés sur le champ de plein droit; ceux qui sont esclaves pour crimes ou délits commis par eux-mêmes seront, selon la décision d'un tribunal, ou immédiatement libérés ou astreints à quelque peine temporaire; quant aux esclaves pour dettes, ils ne seront plus considérés que comme engagés à temps, et le tribunal fixera, en équité, le travail qu'ils doivent encore à leur maître jusqu'à libération entière.\n\nIl ne paraît pas douteux à votre commission que l'accomplissement de ce programme, dont nous n'avons fait que ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331494, "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": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "page_number": 577, "title": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "content_text": "Governor.\n\nNo.\n\nHarsh 223.\n\nDate.\n\n1886\n\nJune 26\n\nHong Kong\n\nNo. 14203\n\n(Subject.)\n\nDESPATCH.\n\nC.

It is a disappointment, sir, to find that the hon. member has not\n\nto give the second reading\n\nof the bill his cordial support, for from what other quarter opposition might come it might fairly have been expected that he at least would have heartily supported the Government in this matter. The prospects of the Praya Reclamation are involved in the Bill, and so keenly did he realise very recently the vital importance to the colony of speedily completing that great work, which he has done, more than any other man to effectuate. that only last spring he officially proposed to the Government that it should borrow the amount required to complete the work and advance it to the marine lot holders on their undertaking to repay the advances within twelve months of the completion of their respective sections.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-In Hongkong in silver. The COLONIAL SECRETARY-And he is now in favour of borrowing in gold, but I fail to see how that affects the point. He had then, sir, no doubts as to the prudence of Government immediately borrowing; in fact he reversed Polonius's advice. \"Neither a borrower nor a lender be,\" and counselled the Government to immediately both borrow and lend. He based his proposal on the ground that some of the lot holders might find it difficult to meet their calls, and that to the rest of them it would be a boon to be enabled to place the amounts in immediately remunerative undertakings. (He would appear, by the way, to have been mistaken as to his fact reason, for since then there have been two calls, one of which has been paid practically in full, and the other is in the course of satisfactory settlement.) He pointed out the practical impossibility of suspending the work, the Government being under a legal obligation to complete it, and he dwelt on the injury to the work already done, the serious public inconvenience, and the grave sanitary complications which suspension would involve. On ... August he again wrote to show why, in my opinion, the\n\nIt is, to say\n\nthe least of it,\n\nvery embarrassing to be assured\n\nLay\n\nthe\n\nthe loan\n\nGovernment need not hesitate to make such a loan, and why they may consider its repayment as well assured.\" He said, \"there are not wanting signs of an approaching recuperation.\" After giving his reasons for this he proceeds to state that the fall in the rents of houses (of which we heard a good deal the other day) is purely temporary and will soon rectify itself. On this head he writes: \"The fall of rents has been due to too great haste in building, which has caused the supply of houses, especially of those for Europeans, to exceed the present demand. This, however, is a matter that will be cured by time, especially as the population of the colony is steadily increasing.\" In saying that the fall in the rents of houses would be cured by time, he must have had a very short time in hand, for under his proposal some of the advances would have been repayable within two years. I may point out in passing that all this materially corroborates the position taken by the Government in regard to the recent motion for the reduction of certain salaries. And as lately as the 20th of last September he wrote: \"the risk run by the Government is really nil\" ... the amount that was required to complete the reclamation, and that consequently Government was under his proposal to borrow from time to time and advance to a very small section only of the community, the marine lot owners, was $2,491,198, or say in round numbers 25 lacs; and the outstanding liability of the Government, supposing every lot owner punctually to repay his advances when repayment became due, would at one time have exceeded 5 lacs, the exact figure being $5,000,000 ... Such was the operation which he pressed on the Government as involving absolutely no risk, and yet to-day he is disposed to question the prudence of the Government's proposal at the present juncture to borrow some 1 lac only on behalf of the whole community by a loan the repayment of which will be distributed over a period of years. On this question of prudence I appeal from his doubts of to-day to his confidence of the 20th September last and I venture to ask him whether, in view of the proposal which I have mentioned and of the arguments by which he supported it, he cannot see his way to voting for the second reading.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-258 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 352363, "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": "CO129-259 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [5-8]", "page_number": 528, "title": "CO129-259 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [5-8]", "content_text": "10\n\nits re-constitution to enable me to offer an opinion on its stability; but if Your Lordship should be satisfied on this point, I would commend that authority be given for the deposit of that bank of $150,000 to $200,000 while retaining a balance not exceeding $350,000 in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China.\n\n7 hundred Thousands lidac be 523\n\nAs the necessity for remitting from the General balance to the Crown Agents for investment will probably recur at intervals for some time to come, I would beg leave to suggest that they be instructed on receipt of telegrams to the effect \"Draw-glycol\", to draw for the number of lacs of dollars stated and to invest the proceeds (in Rupees) for the benefit of this Government.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-259 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 355250, "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": "CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12]", "page_number": 235, "title": "CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12]", "content_text": "21261\n\n26:\n\nDECS+)\n\n232\n\nNo\n\n17684\n\nGovernment House, Hongling St\n\nMy Lord Marquess,\n\nWith reference to & paragraph 33 of my despatch N: 901 of the 4th September: \"last I have the honour to transmit The Right Honourable Marquess of Ripon, K.G.,\n\nThe", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 361583, "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": "CO129-273 - Governor Sir Robinson & Others - 1896 [10-12]", "page_number": 443, "title": "CO129-273 - Governor Sir Robinson & Others - 1896 [10-12]", "content_text": "Partial extract\n\nLeas 11896\n\nden Mer Cleamberlain,\n\nJohn O have been sorry of any question had caused that expense of sending telegram = tot free Kon\n\n• flowcz\n\nSuote I may expect to hear alien have received Cap informa\n\nFrom 12 despatch\n\n+ I believe that at that lter & to seq idea 440", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-273 - Governor Sir Robinson & Others - 1896 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 361836, "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": "CO129-274 - Public Offices & Others - 1896", "page_number": 61, "title": "CO129-274 - Public Offices & Others - 1896", "content_text": "Office or Individual,\n\n--\n\nNo.\n\nHong Kong 7224\n\n(Subject.)\n\nC.O\n\nDOMESTIC,\n\n7227\n\nRegd 4 APR 56\n\nForeign Chinese Passenger Traffic\n\nDate.\n\n1890.\n\n1896 3 April\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\n20\n\nCopy letter from B. ft. rabe.\n\nProposed Legislation\n\n58\n\nPut By\n\n(P.L.

The arrangement was to give effect to what the Governor understands to have been the Viceroy's view, that the most effective way of taking the steps to facilitate emigration which the Convention enjoins on the local authorities of any Treaty Port notified for the embarkation of indentured emigrants is for those authorities to themselves undertake the recruiting of emigrants, i.e., the explaining to them of the advantages to be derived from the favourable conditions offered to labour in South Africa and the bringing of them to the Emigration Depot.\n\n3. Fully satisfied that the arrangement thus sanctioned by the Viceroy would prove a thoroughly satisfactory method of bringing to the notice of the people of Kwangsi the advantages of emigration to South Africa and would result in emigration on a considerable scale being started to the mutual advantage of those people and of the Transvaal, the Governor reported on the 8th August last the Wuchow arrangement to His Britannic Majesty's Government which takes the greatest interest in the scheme initiated by the Convention and had enjoined on Sir M. Nathan to do all he could to forward it.\n\n4. In the Governor's report he stated that owing to difficulties which the Viceroy might have to overcome, it would probably be a month before any large number of emigrants would leave Wuchow.

This loan, principal and interest is repayable in 10 annual instalments, none of which exceeds $100,000 odd. The three Provinces share it in 7ths, Hunan and Kuangtung taking up 3 sevenths each and Hupei 1 seventh.\n\nThe stipulated rice excise for charitable relief of the two lu annually brings in 7 or 8 hundred thousand. The Canton Viceroy I-sen undertakes the provision of actual funds to meet his share and besides in Kuangtung has the profit on running the completed line, some two or three lacs of Taels a year. Thus there are ample funds to meet the general loan charges. The Agreement also provides that at any time after 5 years China may if she chooses pay off the whole balance due; so once there are funds to redeem there can be no obstruction or trouble. As to the prepared opium excise serving as security, in all previous loans there have been security funds. In all finance measures every fund is part of the State's revenue and simply because this is a newly raised fund of late years is it for the time being in a separate category utterly dissimilar in nature and importance from the long established regular Treasurer's and customs' funds and the likin office's funds which affect the whole province.\n\nFurther\n\n4", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407293, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "page_number": 589, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "God k\n\nTo du.\n\nat ser fr\n\n...:\n\nVADES AL\n\n# . 1\n\n* }}*¢4$ ; རྣ\n\nالله باد\n\n580\n\nmuch leaS\n\nSo it is down no money passes through official hands; through the Viceroy who lives away in Wuchang. hard to say how the stripping and useless waste are possible.

As they get no pay whence come the funds recklessly squandered?\n\nThe charge really seems too absurd.\n\nTo sum up.\n\nCancellation of the concession required redemption of the line and redemption the provision of funds of which the amount and the urgency necessitated raising a preliminary loan. Having made this loan, the lending country was sure to expect to get the privilege of future loans for construction. Knowing China's immensely difficult financial straits the memorialist had to arrange for the contingency of raising a loan, so he took the opportunity of defining the whole question of the term: for the provision of personnel and materials so as to stop the flow of abuses. Being still afraid that the employment of men of a single nation might possibly involve the risk of overstepping these terms he laid down that two nationalities would be employed so as to check schemes of sole control.\n\nNow onlookers may criticise at ease but the players could not but ponder every step so that after the redemption was carried through they might have a plan ready for a permanent building system.

Where materials have to be procured from abroad for the maintenance of the Peking-Hankow railway line, or for carrying out the productive objects designated for the expenditure of the loan funds, arrangements will be made to give preference to the manufacturers of the lenders' countries when prices and qualities are equal.\n\n10. The loan will be negotiated and concluded with the Yu-ch'uan Pu by one lender, in consultation with his partner or partners, who will become parties and signatories to the Agreement. The Agreement will be sanctioned by Imperial Edict, and, after signature, the Board will request the Wai-wu Pu to communicate it officially to the respective Ministers of the Contracting Parties.\n\nJune 30, 1908.\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Hillier to Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation, London,\n\n(Telegraphic.)\n\nPeking, July 1, 1908. WITH reference to my telegram of yesterday, we propose the following terms as a basis for negotiation: 7,000,000l., forty years, interest at 4 per cent. per annum, security as advised, but we must have additional 5 lacs taels, total 35 lacs taels, annuity 380,000l. payable first from revenues Peking-Hankow Railway, no control, but if insufficient, then from other sources, idea same as Peking Octroi Loan. Agreement must state loan proceeds applied first to redemption Pekin-Hankow Loan, afterwards to productive objects to include railways, telegraphs.\n\nWith reference to foregoing, we have reason to believe Belgians again negotiating; it is necessary to act promptly.\n\nThe following is for your private information only: J. O. P. Bland objects to loan proceeds applied to railway construction. Casenave informs us French will object to absence of conditions securing material benefits, consequently we are in a very difficult position. Our opinion is, if we insist upon conditions other than necessary for good security and market requirements, it will be very difficult to compete with the Belgians.\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nM. Casenave to the Banque de l'Indo-Chine, Paris,\n\n(Télégraphique.)\n\nPékin, le 2 Juillet, 1908. HILLIER a demandé à Londres par télégramme de proposer au Gouvernement Chinois les négociations sur la base de 7,000,000l., intérêts 4½ pour cent avec augmentation de garantie, remboursable en quarante ans par annuités de 380,000l., payables d'abord sur revenus du Chemin de Fer Hankow-Pékin, sans contrôle, et ensuite sur autres ressources en cas d'insuffisance. Le contrat stipulerait que l'emploi des fonds serait (1) le rachat du Chemin de Fer Hankow-Pékin, (2) objets utiles, chemins de fer, télégraphes. La préférence serait donnée aux prêteurs pour fournitures à égalité de prix.\n\nJ'ai fait remarquer que le projet-\n\n1. Implique participation Allemande;\n\n2. Ne stipule rien en ce qui constitue le personnel Français;\n\n3. En ce qui concerne l'utilisation du surplus à de nouveaux chemins de fer, engage l'avenir dans de mauvaises conditions.\n\nInclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nBanque de l'Indo-Chine to M. Casenave.\n\n(Télégraphique.)\n\nParis, le 3 Juillet, 1908, RÉPONDANT à votre dépêche No. 9, nous approuvons entièrement vos trois objections. Vous devez maintenir la nécessité d'un emprunt de chemin de fer. Nous allons donner à Londres communication de votre dépêche en insistant sur le contenu.\n\n(Télégraphique.)\n\nInclosure 8 in No. 1.\n\nBanque de l'Indo-Chine to M. Casenave.\n\nParis, le 4 Juillet, 1908. LE Gouvernement Français a prescrit au Ministre de France à Pékin de notifier au Gouvernement Chinois que les obligataires Français de la Société d'Études exigent le remboursement à la date du 31 Décembre si le contrat existant actuellement est modifié pour quoi que ce soit. De plus, la cote serait refusée à nouvelles obligations émises par Société d'Études sans mettre en vue le remboursement.\n\nEn conséquence, de votre côté, faites comprendre au Gouvernement Chinois que s'il veut proroger pour une durée de vingt ans le contrat de la Société d'Etudes, il doit s'entendre avec vous et votre collègue Anglais, car le marché de Paris et celui de Londres seront ouverts seulement à un emprunt que vous aurez négocié.\n\nIl est bien évident que si nous tenons à un emprunt de chemin de fer à peu près analogue à celui du Tien-tsin-Pukow ou du Shanghai-Ningpo, cela est beaucoup plus avantageux pour les Chinois que la prorogation du contrat de la Société d'Etudes.\n\nC'est entre ces deux seules alternatives que les Chinois devront choisir.\n\nInclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nPrivate Memorandum for Sir J. Jordan.\n\n37\n\nON the 4th March last the bank in London telegraphed to me referring to a letter of May 1907, with regard to the possible redemption of the Peking-Hankow Railway were about to conclude Loan. It was reported in London that the \"Société d'Études arrangements for the continuation of the contract, and they asked if I had any information, and if I was doing anything in the matter. I replied that I had no information, but that I thought it likely that the Chinese would be prepared to entertain an offer from the Hong Kong Bank, provided that it fulfilled certain conditions.\n\nAfter a further exchange of telegrams, London informed me that the French were prepared to participate, if necessary, in a supplementary clause, and had no objection to the Germans participating also.\n\nI approached the Board of Communications tentatively, through the medium of my compradore, but the moment did not seem opportune for taking more active steps.\n\nOn the 4th April I received a telegram from London informing me that it was proposed to issue the Shanghae-Ningpo Railway Loan some time in May, and adding that, if the Peking-Hankow Railway Redemption Loan negotiations were sufficiently advanced, it might be advisable to suggest to the Chinese Government that it would be preferable to issue the loan for the larger amount first. I replied that, after consulting M. Casenave, my opinion was that nothing could be done at present, at\n\nPage 596", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417409, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 121, "title": "CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "In any further communica-tion on this subject, please quote\n\nNo.\n\n35924\n\nand address...\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State,\n\nForeign Office,\n\nLondon.\n\n117\n\n39166\n\nPM 27 OCT 08\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs presents\n\nhis compliments to the Under-Secretary of State for the\n\nColonies\n\nand, by direction of the Secretary of State,\n\ntransmits herewith copy of the under-mentioned paper.\n\nForeign Office,\n\nOctober 26, 1908\n\nReference to previous letter:\n\nName and Date.\n\nDescription of Inclosure.\n\nSubject.\n\nLord Acton\n\nMr Lech's Report on\n\nThe Hague October 16, 1908 Opium\n\n(Similar letter sent to\n\nIndia Office\n\n[ 12 ]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419706, "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": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 252, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "Hon.

The suggestion made by the Chief Justice was in fact impossible to give effect to, it being well known that such questions can only usefully be framed after the hearing of the evidence.\n\nThe property in question, the original value of which had much decreased through general depression in land sales, was undeveloped. It was intended to be put up to public auction by the Mortgagees, but was withdrawn at the request of the Mortgagor, Li Po Yung. It was then offered privately to various leading individuals and Companies in the Colony who deal in land but without effect.\n\nA certain Chinaman was then approached (the defendant to the counter claim) who made an offer of $180,000 which was accepted. This was the best offer received.\n\nThe Chinaman then, as an ordinary matter of business, formed a syndicate to purchase and develop the property; and some 16 houses were then erected.\n\nThe claim to set aside the sale was only made after the property had been developed and after the purchaser had entered into a special undertaking with his Mortgagees to provide the necessary funds for the development of the property.\n\nThe charge of fraud and collusion appears to have been based on the fact that two members of the syndicate to purchase were in the employ of the Hip On Insurance Co. (the original mortgagees who sold to Kwok Vik Ling.)\n\nThese men, however, between them only contributed a very small proportion of the total sum, some five to ten thousand dollars out of the total of nearly three lacs subscribed to purchase and develop the property.\n\nThe case was tried without a Jury, the sale was set aside and no compensation ordered for the money expended.\n\nPage 390\n\nPage 391", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 420069, "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": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 615, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "OP Y.\n\nEnclosure 2.\n\n006\n\n'H'\n\n000,082,\n\n.qðuh qata rortman req I 28 000,000,80\n\n......

My dear Addis,**\n\nPeking, January 5, 1909.\n\nI FEEL that it devolves on me to write to you with regard to the sensational Edict of the 2nd January, dismissing Yuan Shih-k'ai from office, as to the effect of which no doubt many conflicting rumours have been wired home. Opinions indeed are conflicting enough here, but I have had the opportunity of hearing many views; and, although it is difficult at this early stage to write with confidence as to the immediate future, I will endeavour to set down my impressions for what they are worth.\n\nThe Legation are naturally disquieted and alarmed at the sudden removal of a man whom they consistently supported as the representative of a strong and progressive policy for China. Personally, this one-man policy has seemed to me unsound, and it can hardly be contended that Yuan is the only man in China capable of guiding his country in the paths of sound reform and progress. He was strong, but he was also ambitious. His want of sympathy with the present Government must always have made him the centre of a dangerous faction, and it was unreasonable to expect that the Prince Regent, having assumed the supreme power, would tolerate longer than necessary the presence of a colleague who, rightly or wrongly, he regards as the enemy, if not the murderer of his dead brother. From a Chinese point of view, the natural affection of the Prince for the memory of his unfortunate elder brother would have justified much harsher measures; and, in relieving Yuan from his official duties on the ground of ill-health, he has shown singular magnanimity. The Chinese do not entertain the same high respect for Yuan that foreigners do. They have no faith in the purity of his motives, and look upon his removal as, on the whole, a good thing for the country.\n\nWith regard to Yuan's two principal henchmen, Tong Shao-yi and Liang Tun-yen, the opinion of Chinese seems to be that they will not suffer by his downfall. Tong is on good terms with the Prince Regent, who has a high opinion of his ability, and the probability is that on his return from his present mission abroad, he will be made President of the Wai-wu Pu in Yuan's place. In the meantime, an Edict of a couple of days ago appoints Liang Tun-yen Acting President of the Board; and, as Liang is a graduate of Harvard, speaks English perfectly, and is a man of known foreign tastes and sympathies, we may gather from this appointment that the policy of the Prince Regent is neither anti-foreign nor reactionary, and is directed, in the present instance, solely against Yuan as an undesirable element in the State.\n\nThose who condemn the action of the Prince Regent speak of him disparagingly as a hot-headed young Manchu of no experience. Young he certainly is, and no doubt has much to learn; but my information is that he is a serious-minded young fellow, of clean life and irreproachable personal integrity, and full of sincere zeal for the good of his country.\n\nA man may be judged by his friends, and those of the Prince Regent are Chang Chih-tung, Prince Su, and the Duke Tse. Chang Chih-tung we know already. He may have his faults, but no one has ever been able to point the finger of scorn at him as a corrupt official; and, after more than a quarter of a century of high provincial posts, he is a poor man. Prince Su is the friend of foreigners, and the zealous advocate of reform and progress, and his name, to foreigners and Chinese alike, is a synonym for personal honesty. It was he who, a few years ago, was appointed Controller of the Peking Octroi revenue. By his strict administration he raised the collection, during his short term of office, from 4 lacs taels to 8 lacs taels per annum—a result which produced such consternation among minor officials of the Department—that they procured his impeachment and removal, since when the collection has gradually returned to its previous level. The Duke Tse you have probably met. He was one of the Commissioners who went to Europe a couple of years ago, and has the reputation of being an upright, serious man. At the present moment he is President of the Board of Finance.\n\n--3] \n[2116-3", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 421659, "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": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 448, "title": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# [This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government) 446\n\n## C.

T. Liang, wrote to me on the 16th instant pressing me for a reply with regard to this business, and adding that, if we were not prepared to take it up, they would have to consider other arrangements. I passed this on to you through head office, asking for a further expression of your views in the light of my more recent advices. Your reply merely confirmed your previous opinion, and you asked whether I had communicated the same to the Chinese Government, and what were their own views on the subject of provincial loans. Whatever may have been the views of the Chinese Government with regard to provincial loans, it has been difficult for me to consult them in the present instance without appearing to go over Mr. Liang's head, and thereby risking my relations with him. On receipt of your telegram, however, I called privately on Liang Tun-yen, Vice-President of the Wai-wu Pu, and explained to him the difficult position in which we were placed by Mr. M. T. Liang's pressure on the one hand, and our concern for the credit of the Chinese Government on the other. He quite grasped the point, and promised to speak to Yuan Shih-k'ai. The reply of the latter was that the Government was already alive to the necessity of putting a stop to promiscuous borrowing, and of controlling all such operations through one official channel; they were especially dissatisfied with the recent conduct of the Yu-chuan Pu in hawking about a loan for 100 lacs of dollars, which no one would look at. A Memorial had therefore been prepared by the Board of Finance, and was to be presented to the Throne in a few days, urging that all future loans, whether for account of the Peking Boards and Departments of State, or of the provinces, should be negotiated and concluded with the Board of Finance alone. It is an admirable Regulation if they will stick to it; at any rate, it furnished me with the material for a reply to Mr. M. T. Liang, and I inclose copy of my letter to him herewith.\n\nApart from this, however, there are growing indications that the Government is being forced irresistibly towards the path of financial reform. The Prince Regent, Yuan Shih-kai, and the best men in the Government realize that this must come, and, what is still more hopeful, that effective and real reform cannot be carried out without the assistance of expert foreign advisers. Liang Tun-yen spoke to me on the subject with great frankness and common sense, and what he says may fairly be taken as representing the growing opinion in higher official circles.\n\nRailway Negotiations.-Mr. Bland reopened the Hankow-Canton Railway negotiations with the Grand Secretary, Chang Chih-tung, this week by a four hours' sitting. They do not appear to have got beyond generalities, and, of course, a good deal of nonsense was talked by his Excellency Chang. The subject of negotiation was the Hupei-Hunan section of about 400 miles. Chang wants `£3,000,000`; he wants it on the same or better conditions than the recent loan to the Yu-chuan Pu, and he wants to deal with the British alone. At the same time, which is not very consistent, he threatens competition from the Belgians, Japanese, and Germans. All these nations have in fact colourable claims to an interest in the undertaking, and we may look forward to long and complicated negotiations before the business is completed. A hopeful sign, on the other hand, is the fact that Chang is prepared to consider the principle of construction by contract; if he can be persuaded to adopt this system and place the construction of the line in the hands of a reputable firm of British railway contractors, the agreement will be immensely simplified. Within the last few days an Edict has appeared giving Chang Chih-tung supreme control of the financing and construction of the Hankow-Szechuan as well as of the Hankow-Canton line, so we...\n\n[2104 -3]\n\n*Not printed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422229, "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": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 258, "title": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "according to the tax-list which has been issued by the manager of the railway, will be closed by measures of the police.\n\nOn or before the above-mentioned date, the owners of all trade establishments are obliged to renew through the agents of the Land Department, the Notes of Promise and Trade Certificates.\n\nThe money may be paid directly to the management of the railway or to the agents of the Land Department, which are along the line.\n\nTo the population is given the right, after the assessment will be paid, to present complaints of all misunderstandings and errors that might arise, to the Manager of the railway.\n\n(Translation of the Chinese Text.)\n\nThe Eastern Chinese Railway Company hereby notifies the public that any store keeper within the territory purchased by the said Company who fails to pay before the 8th of February (Russian Calendar), 1909, the first day of the second moon of the present year (Chinese Calendar), the taxes assessed for the promotion of the public welfare and sundry matters, according to the list which was sanctioned by the Manager of the Eastern Chinese Railway Company and distributed to the different storekeepers, such store will be closed by order of the police authorities.\n\nAll storekeepers shall, within the time mentioned above, renew their licences.

To have accepted, after all that has occurred, those terms as they stood would have involved a severe sacrifice of political consistency on our part, and have enabled the Germans to claim credit with the Chinese for having brought us into line on the question.\n\nAn alternative suggestion, which is obviously due to German inspiration, that we should take the Canton-Hankow line and leave the Hankow-Szechuan one to the Germans, was not entertained.\n\nBefore closing this despatch, I consider it my duty to draw serious attention to the portion of Mr. Hillier's letter to Mr. Addis which embodies the result of his investigations into the working of the northern section of the Tien-tsin-Pukow line. The difference in the working of the two sections of the line has been a material factor in all negotiations which have taken place, and requires the closest examination on our part.\n\nTo begin with, it should be frankly recognized that the Germans had certain natural advantages at Tien-tsin which we did not possess at Nanking. They had their bank there, while we had no bank at Nanking; they were close to the Director-General, who resided, at first at least, exclusively in Peking; and they were within easy communication of the Central Government. To these advantages must be added the appointment of a Managing Director, whether by choice or accident, who proved very able to advise, and, according to the Chinese themselves, stretched his powers considerably to meet German requirements. We, on the other hand, had the misfortune to hit upon a Managing Director who combined all the worst qualities of a Chinese obstructionist with a degree of professional experience as an engineer which could not be ignored.\n\nOur disadvantages were, in my opinion, appreciably accentuated by the methods which we pursued. The Germans saw from the outset the important part the Auditor would play in carrying out the Tien-tsin-Pukow terms, and they selected a man of thirty years' experience in China, with a good knowledge of the language, to fill the post. The success which has attended the step is fully described in Mr. Hillier's letter, and contrasts strangely with our action in the south.\n\nMr. Tuckey, the Engineer-in-chief, was insistent from the start upon the appointment of an Auditor with whom he could communicate freely on the spot, but the appointment was conferred upon Mr. Henderson, the Accountant in the Northern Railways, who laboured under the double disadvantage of being in the service of the Chinese Government and of being 800 miles away from the place where the accounts were kept. The result was that he never entered upon the performance of his duties, and that the first audit of the accounts in the southern section was made by Mr. Ross, a chartered accountant, early in the present month. It fortunately just reached me in time to form the basis of a protest to the Wai-wu Pu, which had, I have reason to believe, an important effect on the course of the present negotiations; but had our machinery for working the Tien-tsin-Pukow Agreement been organized with as much care and foresight as the Germans bestowed upon theirs, it is possible that we might have been spared some of the numerous protests we have been obliged to make on the whole question.\n\nThe Germans, I understand, have not had occasion to appeal to their Legation for assistance, while this Legation has been incessantly occupied for months past in endeavouring to remove the troubles on the southern section of the line.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) **J. N. JORDAN**\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n### Mr. Hillier to Mr. C. S. Addis\n\nMy dear Addis,\n\nPeking, April 28, 1909.\n\nSince writing to you on the 17th instant, I have received your letter of the 8th. Honkow-Canton Railway. I inclose copies of telegrams that have passed. On receipt of your telegram of the 21st instant, I communicated my proposed amendment to Cordes, and it was submitted to Chang Chih Tung, who gave it a firm but friendly refusal. It was a fundamental departure from the terms of the Tien-tsin-Pukow Agreement to which, in the present mood of the gentry, he dared not consent. The counter-proposal was some course based upon the actual procedure now in force upon the northern section of the Tien-tsin-Pukow Railway, with which the Germans declare themselves perfectly satisfied; and, in order that I might ascertain what this was by my own personal inquiry, the German Railway Auditor, Mr. Rump, was sent for from Tien-tsin. I had a long conversation with him, the result of which certainly surprised and revealed a state of things which does great credit to the energy and tact of the Germans, although German success must be largely attributed to the rare personal qualities of Mr. Rump, who is a shrewd business man, with thirty years' experience in the north of China, and a good knowledge of the language.\n\nMr. Rump has an office in the head office of the railway in Tien-tsin, where he has daily relations with the Chief Accountant, and access to all the books. The Chief Accountant is a German, appointed by the Chinese on the recommendation of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank. Requisitions upon the loan funds are drawn up by the Chief Accountant who, before submitting them for the signature of the Chinese Managing Director, consults with Mr. Rump. The latter examines the returns of cash held by the Chinese cashier, and by the engineers of the sections concerned, and upon these data decides if the requisition is in order, and advises his bank accordingly. He is always in a position to advise his bank a couple of days beforehand that such and such a requisition is about to be presented; if he does not consider it in order he has no hesitation in saying so, and apparently, under such circumstances, the bank is prepared to withhold payment. It is recognized by the Germans that there are certain squeezes which are unavoidable, and have to be met; for instance, the Yu-chuan-pu will not pass an account without being paid for it, and the total amount of such squeeze is put down at 20,000 taels a-year. To provide this, a certain amount of the loan funds is allowed to lie out with the native banks, the difference between the 6 per cent. interest allowed by those, and 2 per cent. allowed by the foreign bank, furnishing the necessary margin. Upon this calculation the average amount with the native banks would be 5 lacs taels, and Mr. Rump satisfied himself by examination of the pass books of these banks, that the money is there. According to Mr. Ross' report on the southern section, he was unable to satisfy himself on this point, and presumably the pass books were not produced.\n\nThe German system is, in short, that the Auditor works with a German Chief Accountant of their own selection, and no requisitions are passed without his concurrence, but as to how much of this can be put on paper, I confess to have grave misgivings. The Germans have their own position to consider, and a system which may be tacitly accepted by the Chinese, might raise dangerous questions were an attempt made to give it official form. Cordes himself recognizes this, but the burden lies with him in this instance, and my position is so weak, that I cannot refuse to consider the proposition without risk to the negotiations. It is of course clear that the Germans and the Chinese would not have deferred the signature of the final Agreement for over a month unless they were very anxious for us to come in, though it is difficult to accurately gauge the strength of our position in this respect, and I feel that I cannot afford to overestimate it without undue risk. Chang Chih Tung we have to remember has the eyes of the provincials upon him, and I fully believe that he dare not depart from the fundamental principles of the Tien-tsin Pukow Agreement; he must be in a position to say, \"Tien-tsin-Pukow terms.\" The impression is of course at present that we are being lured by imperceptible steps to accept Tien-tsin-Pukow terms in the end, and so complete the German triumph and our own humiliation; but the situation has evolved a new and subtle distinction, and we have now to differentiate between \"German Tien-tsin-Pukow terms\" and \"British Tien-tsin-Pukow terms,\" between which apparently there is a wide difference in practice.\n\nThe suggestion contained in the latter part of my telegram of yesterday is my last card. With the modification proposed my clause would read:-\n\nRequisitions on the loan funds will be drawn in amounts to suit the progress of construction of the railway by orders on the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation, &c., signed by the Managing Director of the railway, or, in his absence, by his duly authorized Representative, the Auditor at the same time handing to the banks a statement particularizing the expenditure drawn for, copies of indents and [or] vouchers being furnished to him for that purpose by the departments concerned in accordance with the present practice on the northern section of the Tien-tsin-Pukow Railway.\n\nThe key of the modification lies in the final addition to the clause, and the formula as a whole correctly represents the actual practice of the northern section as described by Mr. Rump. Its acceptance by Chang Chih Tung will be consistent with his pledges.\n\n[2264 aa-1]\n\nB 2", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 426424, "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": "CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9]", "page_number": 206, "title": "CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9]", "content_text": "202\n\naɗ bivoɗa enoitreaɛs fova notnigo ym ni aíostte Isoltstiq emoa\n\n*\n\n·\n\nvlqqua edt galtaørg oroted aetrtupne to tostdra ent\n\nTot coɑmold gnwaat at tødt beolton svad I\n\n•Vitmeupert oot\n\na of evig of soitoang and mood sari i admwb gnidal bre galbarT\n\nent zo berseqqazib nad Jadt fout a to redma eft leasɛey won -Istenog tlatl edt midttw bevoner need to¤ nad doldw to danesti\n\n.boriqxe aad sanesti eft totte antnom xia .a.tbewofIM YI- wen A .sidiszimbani bra Tslugerti stiup al erubesorg aint ELLI galed redrwn blo erit,someo!

The three most important Tengyueh dealers have sent representatives to Hong Kong this summer to enquire into the facilities offered by the new route, the two chief banks propose to remove their head offices to Hsiakwan (Talifu), and everything points to a serious set-back for us during the coming season. The Tengyueh merchants not only offer no opposition to the railway, but they perpetually remind one of the downfall which overshadows them if either the French or the Chinese should link Yünnan-fu with Talifu, and they look forward with dread to the developments of next year's trade. Things are moving quickly, and our frontier interests are threatened in every way by the rapid advance of this rival trade route. If we could once get the railway under way even as far as Tengyueh the merchants would gain confidence and it might save the stability of vested interests--things which are hard to replace. You know from Coggin-Brown's reports that the mineral wealth of the province has not been exaggerated, and it is important to remember that any line from Yünnan-fu to Talifu would cut off the only coal-field (Yünnanhsien) available for working the line. Brown has also been into the Hui-li Chou district to the south of Szechuan, the border town linking Yunnan with the Chien-Chang valley and Szechuan. He confirms Amundsen's report (sent to you by Wilkinson in 1908) of the highly mineralised nature of the country and the probability of a possible route between Talifu-Huilichon and Szechuan which would obtain the Szechuan objective independently of Yunnan-fu. This is looking far ahead, but is worth remembering. The French seem to have grasped the same idea, for a party of five have been up into the Huilichon district quite recently, and they possibly have wind of a magnificent coal-field, Ma-chang, in the neighbourhood and on the Yang-tsze.\n\nI send you these hurried notes in the hope that they may prove useful or suggestive, for I want something to happen soon if it can possibly be managed. In 1905 I was in Shantung as the German Railway crept up from Kiaochow, gradually sapping the trade of the province and leaving Chefoo bare; that experience comes back vividly as I come in contact with this new battle of communications. The cry of \"vested interests\" was believed by the Chefoo people to be a talisman for every ill, but the Germans have apparently triumphed at Tsingtau and proved the victory of quick and cheap transit over the most conservative of Chinese traditions.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[3171]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n252\n\nC\n\n48\n\n[January 28.\n\nSECTION 1.\n\nPapers communicated by Mr. C.

Addis.\n\nPeking, January 10, 1910.\n\nSHANGHAE-HANGCHOW-NINGPO-RAILWAY.\n\nTwo days ago Liang asked me to go and see him, and the result of this interview is embodied in my telegram to you of to-day's date, copy of which is enclosed.\n\nLiang admitted to me that, of the 28 lacs of taels drawn only 8 lacs of taels had been paid over to the provincial bureaux; the balance of 20 lacs of taels was in the hands of the Chiao-tung Bank and the Board of Communications. His explanation of why, when he had no intention of handing these funds over to the bureaux, he continued to draw them under specific requisitions, and for what purported to be actual requirements, was so inadequate that I will not trouble with it. We were there to try to arrive at a friendly understanding, and I did not think it worth while to press the point. He explained that the board was not strong enough to assert its authority over the bureaux; and in order that he, Liang, might come to conclusions with them it was necessary that he should (to use his own words) have a \"line of retreat.\" This he proposed to find in the scheme described in my to-day's telegram. In other words, he would be in a position to say to them:\n\n\"Well, gentlemen, since you will not listen to reason, we propose to apply the loan funds to more useful purposes, for which we have the consent of the lenders, and leave you to tinker on with your miserable railway, with your own funds, the laughing-stock of the other provinces.\"\n\nIt may be objected that this is a serious climb down for the Central Government. So it is, but helpless acquiescence in the present state of things is more humiliating still, and if the Central Government feels itself too weak to risk a frontal attack it is better to fall back upon the Bank movement, provided a way is clear in case it does not come off.\n\nFrom what Foord tells me (he has just arrived), the provincial shareholders are thoroughly sick of the present state of things, and do not at all relish the prospect of further calls, so that it looks as if the whole movement would break down under a little firm pressure. On the other hand, it is difficult to say exactly what Liang's real attitude is. In answer to my enquiry he told me that, if the gentry could be brought to reason, the intention was to carry out the original agreement. But he does not like the Shanghae-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway, which he maintains will never pay owing to the competition of waterways and likin complications, and the impression he left on me was that he would rather the gentry did not give way, in order that he might have a free hand to transfer the funds to the proposed new railway. This he considers would be a fairly paying line. Kai-feng-fu is of course the capital of Honan, and Hsu-chou-fu, situated in the narrow neck of Kiangsu, wedged in between Shantung, Honan, and Anhui, is an important trade centre. The whole thing turns upon the legal question, namely, whether, on a formal application from the Chinese Government, setting forth its inability to carry out the original agreement, and giving satisfactory evidence of the earning prospects of the proposed new railway, the court can give the necessary order. If it can, I see no objection to the arrangement from our point of view, and I think it would be calculated to have a salutary effect upon the provincial railway agitation generally. Above all, it will dispose once for all of a chronic source of friction between the Chinese and ourselves.\n\n[258]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429483, "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": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 220, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "219\n\n28/111\n\nreign\n\n1910\n\n14 Oct.\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\n३४.\n\nZo\n\n3392\n\n247\n\nهة\n\nAuse\n\nCons Egyet\n\nCofy enel for Conf 16 Feb '11 uru/11\n\nref? to Cables for.\n\n¿\n\n(10,85) Wt.21,659-1 40,100\n\n11:00.

If the station is to be located as proposed he was decidedly of opinion that the land should be acquired by purchase, and not by exchange.\n\nOf the six unofficial members of the Leg. Council, three were interested parties, viz: Messrs Ross, Osborne and Hewett, while Mr Pollock was a warm advocate of the proposal, and the Chinese members would not take an active interest, and were uninformed as to the precedent conditions. I therefore authorised Mr Chatham to inform Messrs Chater, Ross & Osborne that on the understanding that they were willing to accept either of the alternative methods, viz: the exchange of land and a cash payment of some 4 lakhs, or a cash payment at the agreed rates and the Police Chamber only the Government would take the marine lots for the terminal site, and they could make their arrangements accordingly. Both schemes of payment involve the cash payment of 4 lakhs odd, and I requested the Colonial Secretary in his capacity as O.A.G. after my departure to introduce a financial minute with the Legislat Council for this amount. At the same time I wrote a minute to be laid before the Finance Committee explaining the circumstances in some detail.\n\nThe year 1911 closed with a surplus balance of over 4 lakhs instead of the considerable deficit which had been estimated for, and which it had been proposed to meet from Reserves on account of expenditure on the Typhoon Refuge.

By so doing they have participated in the Holy War according to God's Commandment (which reads as follows):- \"Fight or do your best with your wealth and life in the way of God\". Likewise our friends in Transvaal informed us that they collected a considerable sum of money there, but it is probable that the ill-natured British people might have stopped its remittance. The people of Baluchistan have also got up, and in the near future the Afghans will also make an attack on the British people and slaughter them indiscriminately.\n\nPersian tribes, in large numbers, have prepared themselves for the Holy War. They are headed by the priests and other prominent men of the school of theology. All the hills and deserts are re-echoing with the triumphal cries of \"God is great\", \"God is great\". Now the disbelieving Englishmen and Russians are being killed everywhere. Auspicious tidings of the Islamic victories are delighting the hearts. How Islam is flourishing.\n\n#### B. MANLY COURAGE.\n\nOne morning this week, when we were going to the office, we received auspicious news of the brutal slaughter of the British people, which served as a good breakfast. The particulars are as follows:- A lion-hearted Indian Mahomedan Sepoy, whom British people had forcibly brought to Egypt to kill the Mahomedans there, assaulted the British Commander-in-Chief in Egypt named Maxwell with a pistol. The two Aides-de-Camp of Maxwell were killed on the spot. But it is not definitely known whether Maxwell, a dog, has been wounded or not.

They spend seventy-seven million and five hundred thousand Rupees for the education of 240 millions of people, 200 millions of Rupees for sanitary purposes and 225 millions of Rupees for Army.\n\nThe British people are responsible for the famines constantly prevailing in India. 20 millions of people perished with famine during the last ten years, and (the stain of) their blood rests on the neck of the British people.\n\n5. According to British people's reckoning 80 lacs of people died of plague during the last 16 years but the actual number of deaths is greater than this. During the last 30 years the death rate has increased.\n\n6. In order to introduce debauchery, to create disunion and disturbance and to increase their filthy influence, they introduce dishonest men to the Native States in India, and get them employed there, so that the States should not flourish and gradually come under the British prestige.\n\n7. No punishment whatever is awarded to the British people, should they murder an Indian or outrage the chastity of an Indian woman.\n\n8. The (Christian) Priests, people of bad character, are enjoying themselves with the money belonging to the Hindoos and Moslems.\n\n9.

The price offered was 36d. per stg. At the time there was no Government stock of subsidiary coin in the Bank owing to the recent sale of 10 lacs referred to in my confidential despatches of the 5th and the 9th instant. The Chief Manager therefore proposed that I should draw on the private stock held by the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation at the rates at which the Bank had purchased it viz:-\n\n| Face value | Rate | Cost |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| $10,000 | 4% Discount | |\n| 150,000 | 4¼% | |\n| 220,000 | 3¾% | |\n| 620,000 | par | |\n| $1,000,000 | | $963,946.21 |\n\nTo this sum must be added Charges for Freight, Insurance, &c., (this consignment being c.i.f. Calcutta) amounting to $5,408.98. The total cost was $991,858.98 (or £109,960 @ 2/3¼d.). The amount realized was $986,450.00. The nett loss was $27,913.77 or 2.79%.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE ANDREW BONAR LAW, M.P.,\n&c., &c...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 461761, "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": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "page_number": 394, "title": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "content_text": "## Page 392\n\n2. I accepted the Chief Manager's offer for the following reasons:-\n\n(1) Since the discount has been decreasing until it recently reached 34 3/4%, it has been suggested by the Senior Unofficial Member of the Executive Council that the Government should issue a notification expressing its willingness to redeem at par all amounts of 10-cent pieces brought to the Treasury. The drawbacks to this proposal are obvious in view of the overdraft already existing at the Bank at the moment.\n\n(2) At present no large amount of subsidiary coin can be purchased locally. The only means of getting the coin for the transaction proposed by the Chief Manager was therefore to take over the Bank Stock.\n\n(3) The Chief Manager further proposed that, if the Government would relieve him of the Bank Stock, he would then take in subsidiary coin from large public Companies, such as the Tramway and Ferry Companies, at a lower rate of discount than the market rate fixed by the money-changers, thus rendering the manipulation of the market by them less easy. He further agreed to hand over all or any sums so received from the public Companies to the Government if required at any time for demonetization, at the rate of discount at which he had purchased the coin from them.\n\n(4) He also expressed his willingness to take over subsidiary coin at par, should the Government desire it, to the value of a few lacs. The Chief Manager was of opinion that the taking of £1,000,000 of 10-cent pieces off the market in this manner would have the immediate effect of reducing the discount still further and incidentally of meeting, to a certain extent, the wishes of the persons referred to.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 463130, "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": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "page_number": 222, "title": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "content_text": "## DRAFT MINUTE\n\nThe Secretary, S.P.O.\n\nBAT. 1973 5/2/26 Mr. Robinson\n\n### Distribution List\n\n* Mr. ...\n* Sir II.

It should be explained that at the time of the inspection much of the north of the province was in the hands of disbanded and revolted soldiery who had taken to brigandage, more or less with the acquiescence of the provincial authorities, who, failing funds to re-enrol them as soldiers, had no means of dealing with them; so that in the districts north of Yaochou and the Wei Valley plains all ordinary traffic on the roads had long since ceased. I therefore expected some sort of protest when we started northwards from Fenghsiang-fu, but I felt that we could hardly omit about half the province from the inspection on that account, the more so as there were reasons to suspect poppy cultivation in the brigand-infested northern districts. My Chinese colleagues, while agreeing that it was most unlikely that the brigands, a partly political force which might at any time become a successful revolutionary army, would knowingly attack a party containing a British consular official, yet declined to proceed to parts where they would be at the mercy of the brigands and unable to protect either me or themselves. They argued that it was impossible to proceed to the north of the province without at least a company of soldiers, and that it would be impracticable to penetrate with so large a force into the wild and sparsely populated regions I proposed to visit without undertaking an expedition on the scale of a small campaign; and, though they did not openly say as much, they hinted that the existing military forces of Shensi at their disposal, being largely composed of ex-brigands, were so unreliable that a unit of them could not be trusted in such out-of-the-way parts, a fact of which I was well aware; nor indeed was it the policy of the Provincial Government to come into serious armed conflict with these brigands, whose assistance might at any time be required, as happened in the preceding year, in a conflict with Peking or another province.\n\nYaochou to Yenan.—Admitting the truth of their arguments, at any rate in so far as concerned the lack of control exercised by the provincial authorities throughout the north and the unreliability of the troops at their disposal, and being convinced that they were honestly doing their best to make the inspection a success, I agreed to a compromise, and turning eastwards from Ch'unhua to Yaochou we travelled thence northwards through the districts of Tungkuan, Yichun, Chungpu, Lech'uan, Foochou, and Kauch'uan to Yenan-fu, about eight days' journey. This is the main trail to the north of the province, and was therefore garrisoned with troops. This may, for all I know, be the only occasion on which a party inspecting a province under the treaty, have been unable to proceed where they wanted to go; but under the very abnormal conditions obtaining in Shensi at the time I think the Chinese authorities were justified in their attitude.\n\nSince the sporadic enforcement in Shensi of anti-opium measures during the past few years, the Yenan neighbourhood has become more and more one of the chief centres of so-called secret poppy cultivation owing to its isolation, and to the fact that whole districts have been on and off controlled by brigands during these years. The country is exceedingly poor and barren in appearance, and very sparsely populated, but the poppy is nowadays cultivated not only in fertile well-watered valleys and plains, as used to be the case, but in wild and inaccessible mountain regions, like the Chinlingshan in the south and these mountains in the north. Probably some was sown here last spring—it is asserted that the brigands force the peasants to plant it—but I found that the Taoyin of the northern circuit and the local officials had been very energetic in so far as lay in their power, and think it unlikely that much opium, if any, will be harvested there this season. There is, however, no doubt that the poppy was grown extensively and openly in this neighbourhood last year, and that it was already above ground at the time the joint inspection was applied for by General Lu Chien-chang. The then provincial authorities must have known the north was not clean, but probably took it for granted that the brigands would effectually prevent the inspecting party visiting the northern districts at all. I brought the matter to the notice of the present authorities, but they naturally declined all responsibility for the acts of their predecessors, whom they had displaced by force of arms.\n\nYenan to Hanch'eng.—At Yenan-fu the news of the crisis in Peking and Shensi's declaration of independence reached us together with wild rumours of impending trouble in Sian-fu and the province generally. I had from the first decided that Yenan would have to be the northern limit of our tour owing to the advancing season. But in any case my Chinese colleagues were now so thoroughly alarmed that it would have been impossible to have induced them to penetrate still further into the brigand-infested country to the north. The political situation in Shensi being already most insecure, they anticipated, should civil war break out between the provinces, the collapse of the Sian-fu Government, followed by the usual military outbreaks and local rebellions, which would find us stranded in these remote districts. The position of the two Peking delegates was particularly awkward, representing as they did the Central Government in a province which had declared its independence. It was fortunate the news did not reach us earlier, for otherwise they would probably have refused to proceed to the north at all. As it was, they desired only to get out of these lawless northern districts as soon as possible, without being particularly anxious to follow the main road, with its unreliable garrisons of ex-brigands in doing so. As a result, we were enabled to carry out my original plan for the return journey, and proceeding eastwards for two days' march to Yench'ang, we travelled thence south through Yich'uan to Hanch'eng to the Yellow River, a long and difficult five days' journey by little-known trails through wild and almost uninhabited mountains. With the exception of the Top'ing trail in the south, this was about the hardest portion of the whole arduous tour, owing to the difficult mountain paths and the extreme poverty of the brigand-infested country traversed. The whole of Northern Shensi has been practically abandoned to the brigands during recent years, and in this remote region the effects were shockingly apparent. The ravages of brigands are actually depopulating the countryside, and empty cities, abandoned villages, untilled fields, and ruined farms were everywhere met with. To give one instance, the district city of Yich'uan, formerly quite a large and prosperous place, is now empty save for the magistrate and his staff and a dozen or so families of the poorest class, the former inhabitants having abandoned their homes and emigrated to other districts or provinces after being raided by the brigands time after time. Most of the other district cities in the north are in much the same plight, and no one but the poorest coolie ventures on the roads. I mention this to show the extraordinary state of affairs at present existing in Northern Shensi, and the lawless conditions with which the Chinese authorities had to cope in suppressing cultivation and arranging for the joint inspection. The chief action they took in the latter respect was to enrol a regiment of local brigands as Government troops early this year, and station them in and around Kanch'uan and Yench'ang as a measure of pacification to enable the joint inspection party to proceed to that neighbourhood, this being the recognised method of dealing with these brigands when they become particularly objectionable, provided funds are available to pay them. It is, however, only a local and temporary alleviation; and it is to be feared that, on the occasion of the next revolution or rebellion in which Shensi is involved, the Sian-fu authorities will lose what little authority they now exercise in the north of the province, and that there is then likely to be a considerable recrudescence of poppy cultivation in that region.\n\nHanch'eng to Sian.—From Hanch'eng we proceeded south-west through the fertile districts of Loyang, Ch'engch'eng, Puch'eng, Tup'ing, and Sanyuan to Sian-fu, the provincial capital, a long week's journey. We remained there a few days, being entertained by the provincial authorities, but the programme of receptions, banquets, and other festivities was somewhat interfered with by the political crisis, one of our two principal hosts, the Civil Governor, being held under arrest by the other, his military colleague.\n\nFrom the time we emerged from the mountains at Hanch'eng till we re-entered the Ch'inling ranges south of Paochi, two to three weeks later, we were travelling through districts where the poppy was ordinarily speaking out of season, the wheat being already harvested. But I had purposely arranged to be crossing the plains of Central Shensi at that time of the year owing to the custom there of growing the poppy. That is to say, instead of being sown in early spring and harvested as a summer crop in May and June, before the wheat, as is usually the case, it is sometimes planted in early summer so as to be in flower in July. This is what was done to a considerable extent in 1916, when the joint inspection which had been arranged for having been cancelled at the last moment, the farmers in some districts in Central Shensi, realising the situation, found time to reap a good harvest of opium by growing the poppy as a summer crop.\n\nSian to Paochi.—From Sian-fu we travelled west for a week through the rich districts of Central Shensi, Hsienyang, Hsingp'ing, Wukang, Fufeng, Ch'ishan, and Paochi. Ch'ishan particularly was formerly notorious for spring and summer opium.\n\nPage 367", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 474971, "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": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 665, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "B/T\n\nHly Shait\n\n33940\n\nཥ.རAUE,\n\nD.\n\n660\n\n\"\n\nC\n\nDRAFT.\n\nThe Leas\n\n(Ano & 40570)\n\nLii\n\nAdering Clu on Commercial Intett. of you\n\nBAT.\n\nMINUTE.\n\n301. 1080 2/8/17\n\nMr. Robinson\n\nMr. Grindle,\n\nMr. Lambert.\n\nMr. Read.\n\nSir G.

(sent thro' the Govt.) re note issue together with copy of my reply. The suggestion to ship away 10 million really took my breath away and such a transaction would lead to a real disaster.\n\nThe note circulation is not confined to the Colony but supplies the currency for the whole of South China and if the reserve was reduced by shipping away silver coin, leaving only $5 million in our Treasury, the result would be a lack of confidence in our notes, the effect of which would be far reaching and disastrous. In fact, our notes would descend to the level of those of the Bank of China. It is due to the strong cash reserves we always maintain that our notes rank so high and I personally would not countenance any reduction whatever in the Silver Reserve held against notes; it could not be justified even in such an emergency as war finance. As a matter of fact, I should very much like to have another $30 or $40 lacs of silver coin in my Treasuries. For a Bank like ours, a cash balance of 40% of o/a liabilities is none too high.\n\nAs pointed out in the telegram, a shipment of $10 million would only have a temporary effect and when that wore off, we might be in a very unpleasant position with a large note issue and very little silver against it. At any rate, it is a position I have no intention of getting into.\n\nThe monetary situation here is quite satisfactory, but so long as Shanghai keeps in an excited position, it is not possible to get to an effective tael level of par with the Mexican dollar, nor is it even desirable to do so, especially with Shanghai exchange some 12% above the parity of the fixed price of silver. Par with Shanghai dollars cannot be reached until Shanghai is fully or over supplied with cash.\n\nAs mentioned in my telegram, it would be an advantage to have the option of covering the excess issue by...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-450 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1918 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 477376, "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": "CO129-450 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1918 [10-12]", "page_number": 61, "title": "CO129-450 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1918 [10-12]", "content_text": "## Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation: London.\n\n-2-\n\nnothing in such a transaction to make it attractive even were it not dangerous. At best it would mean a small immediate profit and leave me without any means of replacing the coin in case of necessity. The dollars would melt in Shanghai at Tls.71 per quantity $100 and to import any from Shanghai could probably not be done under 75 and it is doubtful if any large amount of Mex. dollars could be secured in any case. British and Mexican dollars are the only coins legal tender here. The former can only be obtained by minting in India (heavy shipping expenses and 2% seignorage) and the latter are getting scarce, so the Colony might be left without any means of obtaining currency.\n\nThe contention that the Authorities cannot ask the U.S. to supply silver to China so long as we have a Reserve of $150 lacs against our Note issue is truly ludicrous. There is no real surplus in stock of coin here; in fact, our holdings should be higher than they are, all things considered. Shanghai must look elsewhere than to Hongkong for silver. I hope you will do your best to remove the false idea that we have too much silver coin in the Colony as nothing could induce me to ship away any coin under existing conditions; to do so would be pure madness.\n\nIt is very satisfactory to note that in case of necessity, any temporary increase in the circulation can be covered by securities in London so long as we have say $100 lacs deposited with the Government. Although agreed to by the Home Authorities, it might be necessary to have the ordinance altered as at present it calls for dollar for dollar in the case of excess issue, i.e., when", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-450 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1918 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 478603, "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": "CO129-452 - Others & Individuals - 1918", "page_number": 68, "title": "CO129-452 - Others & Individuals - 1918", "content_text": "## DRAFT\n\nMr. ... for Alloy\n\n**MINUTE**\n\n65 Med...\n\nMr. Kungson, Mr. ..., Mr. Grindle, Mr. Lumbert, Mr. Read, Sir G.

Apart from these subsidised schools, the only Vernacular schools which the Government aids are the 27 Grant Schools. They have an average attendance of 1,600. The Government has, since the Education Ordinance was passed, also inspected the numerous private schools of the Colony, which have very greatly improved under the process.\n\nThere is, however, a strong demand among the Chinese for more Vernacular education for the very poorest class of people. I am of opinion that such provision cannot be conveniently made by the existing machinery. And new machinery must be sought.\n\nIt will not be advisable to create a large number of Government Vernacular Schools. Such schools have been tried in time past and have failed for many reasons. A Government school has to be kept to a standard which need not be looked for in a Chinese-controlled undertaking; and the cost on buildings, equipment, and staff will be very great in proportion to the services rendered. Further, European rigidity acts harshly on poor Chinese, and there are grave objections against employing persons of the stamp of the teachers of such schools as Revenue collectors, while the fees collected would total a trifling sum.\n\nThe Grant Schools, which are managed by the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-454 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1919 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 482028, "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": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "page_number": 76, "title": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "content_text": "64\n\nCopy of a letter from the Hon'ble Mr. J.

AFC\n\nIn the present condition of silver you will probably agree that an occasional and, it may be, sudden increase in our Note Issue at Hongkong is probably unavoidable. Such additional increases, when silver is unobtainable, of course call for the deposit with the Crown Agents in London of additional security.\n\nNow I should like to propose to the Crown Agents, if you approve, that when such special occasions call for the deposit with them of additional security against our Note Issue, we might be allowed, as a matter of convenience, instead of depositing securities with them in London to deposit with the Government in Hongkong, Hongkong Government Loan Bonds and Straits Loan Bonds, of which we hold $7 lacs and 15 lacs respectively.\n\nIt is not a question of locale. We have the right to deposit securities either in London or Hongkong. What is not quite clear is whether the new securities proposed would be acceptable to the Crown Agents. It seems to me that no better security could be desired than the Hongkong and Straits Government Loans, but before approaching the Crown Agents officially I should like to know if my proposal would have the approval of the Colonial Office.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nA.E.

We trust that the Government will strictly enforce the penalties for non-completion by due date of all houses and flats towards the erection of which the Government has advanced money.\n\n2. We regret that it has not been found possible, in the distribution of the million dollars in loans for building, to allocate some of the moneys to persons who are building for their own occupation, as we consider that owner-occupiers are worthy of every encouragement by the Government, and we venture to express the hope that it may be found possible for the Government shortly to set apart (possibly out of the proceeds of sale of the old Post Office site) a sum of 3 lacs of dollars to assist persons to build houses of modest type and reasonable cost for their own occupation, provided that proper security is given.\n\nWith regard to building development in the neighbourhood of Wanchai Gap, we notice with astonishment that the Hill Tramway to Wanchai Gap, for the construction of which a sum of $150,000 was inserted in the Estimates for 1920 does not figure at all in the Estimates for 1921, and we are at a loss to understand the reason for the omission, as obviously a tram from the low level to Wanchai Gap is an indispensable preliminary to the development of the Mount Cameron District, which cannot be effectively opened up by motor roads only. We presume that the Government has had a survey made of the route of such projected tramway and a rough estimate of the cost thereof, and we should be glad of information on these points.\n\nIn your Budget speech of last year (at Page 90 of \"Hansard\" for 1919) your Excellency referred to this subject as follows:--\n\n\"It has become very desirable to open up new sites for residences in the Hill District. The only part of that District so far entirely undeveloped is Mount Cameron, and provision is made under Item 17 for beginning the construction of a Tramway to Wanchai Gap which will provide a rapid means of access both to Mount Cameron and to the hills between Wanchai and Magazine Gaps.\"\n\n4. We are disappointed to find no reference in your Budget speech to any negotiations with the Military Authorities for the release of the Military lands on Nathan Road, Kowloon. As has been pointed out more than once, sites on that road which are eminently suitable for residences are being occupied by stables for mules.\n\n5. We hope that the Government will do everything in its power to expedite the speedy commencement and vigorous prosecution of the Praya East Reclamation.\n\n6. We trust that the extension of the Ho Mun Tin Colony and the development of the area of land at Kowloon Tong on Garden City lines will be pressed forward by the Government.\n\n7. We also trust that the Government will give its assistance to the Kai Tack Reclamation scheme by pressing on with the inauguration of the Kowloon East Ferry Service and the Motor bus service to Kowloon City.\n\nWith regard to the question of whether there is a shortage of houses in the Colony, there are no houses, so far as we are aware, to let for European occupation in any part of the Colony south of Coronation Road, and it is a well-known fact that the Hotels are so full that passengers arriving here by large steamers are frequently compelled to stay on board.\n\nAs regards the City Expansion of the Colony, we are very glad to note from indications in Your Excellency's speech that the Military Lands Question has taken a decided step forward since the matter was debated in this Council on 29th January last, and we earnestly trust that the Military Authorities will continue to co-operate heartily with the Government of this Colony in expediting the procuring for the trade of this Colony, by which we all live, a much needed area for expanding our office and business accommodation.\n\nIn connection with Harbour Development, we are glad to extend a welcome to Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice, and we hope that his investigations here may result in important developments of the shipping facilities of this Colony.\n\nAs regards commercial wireless, we would ask Your Excellency to appoint a small Committee (which we would suggest should consist of the Colonial Secretary, an Unofficial Member of the Council, and the Commodore or an Officer deputed by him) for the purpose of discussing and reporting on the feasibility of utilizing the Stone-cutter's Island installation for commercial messages during certain portions of the 24 hours, whilst paying due regard to the necessities of His Majesty's Service.\n\nAs regards our finances generally, we would once again urge that it is not fair to the present Colonists that the entire cost of Public Works of a permanent character should be paid for out of current revenue, and we would advocate that short Loans should be raised for such purposes.\n\nSo much, Sir, for the united views of my colleagues and myself on the subject of the Budget.\n\nI am now going to add a few remarks of my own, in which my colleagues do not concur, in regard to one item in the Budget, namely, the proposal to make the motor road from Magazine Gap to Chamberlain Road. In the first place, Sir, I venture to question the necessity for this extension because all those who are living in the neighbourhood of Chamberlain Road can easily take the Tram down to the lower Tram Station, and from there they are in touch with all the other parts of the Colony which are accessible by motor. One argument which I have heard against this contention of mine seems to be too paltry for serious consideration, namely, that the motor-owner, whether he goes east or west, will have to spend ten minutes in travelling through China Town. Another argument which I have heard used is that it will be much pleasanter to travel from the Peak to Repulse Bay over the new projected road entirely on the high levels, instead of starting from below. This argument, though better than the last one, does not, in my opinion, justify the making of an expensive road, while we have in this Colony other urgent public matters requiring not merely the expenditure of revenue but also the services of our none too large Public Works staff.\n\n263", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-463 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 485948, "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": "CO129-465 - Public Offices & Others - 1920", "page_number": 302, "title": "CO129-465 - Public Offices & Others - 1920", "content_text": "## \n4 for. \n\nمن \n\nCarace \n\n? \n\nRefly \n\nlope is \n\nYes, In: I have leas from which it appears that his remand in custody, from which it appears that Find were brutally ill-treated by the Chinese police record from them.\n\nThe good custody of the prisoners in the custody of the Chinese authorities is a matter of concern.\n\n3 \n\nIf the Chinese authorities 01490193 301 Do Leung Kuck is a society incorporated in Hong Kong for the purpose of assisting the suppression of kidnapping of children; of aiding protection and \"Place of Safe\" for children and other victims of kidnapping.\n\nAs regards the detection and bringing to justice of persons guilty of kidnapping and other offences: of helping to restore kidnapped persons to their relatives and of providing for rescued children until proper provision for their settlement in life, such as marriage, adoption.\n\nThe society is managed by a Board of Direction, with vacancies filled up by the Governor.

The reasons for this increase were fully put before you when the Supplementary Appropriation Ordinance was submitted to Council. A further deficit arises in the Exchange Fluctuation Account of about $340,000 with the result that we opened this year with a Credit balance of just over 13 million dollars.\n\nThe year 1925 started well and the revenue up to the end of May was $9,261,105, shewing an increase over the proportionate part (12ths) of the estimate for the year of nearly $200,000 and there was good ground to hope that the heavy deficit for which we had budgeted would be far less than we had estimated. Unfortunately at this stage we were, by the machinations of enemies from outside, involved in troubles which were in themselves no concern of ours and the result has been that our financial outlook has been very seriously affected.\n\nFrom the latter part of June onwards there has been a considerable falling off under most heads of revenue, though the position in this respect now shows signs of improvement.\n\nOwing however to the payment of death duties on several very large estates there has been an increase in stamp duties of over two million dollars which goes far to counterbalance the deficits in other sources of revenue and it is hoped that we shall finally exceed our original conservative estimate for the year by some four hundred thousand dollars.\n\nWe are making every possible effort to effect economies and it is hoped that the expenditure for this year will be less than the Estimate in practically every department. It is however difficult to stop works in the middle and usually impossible to cancel contracts or countermmand stores without heavy loss so that we cannot", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 500944, "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": "CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "page_number": 656, "title": "CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "content_text": "16: \n\nhis ment\n\nreply for F.O.\n\nabrance\n\nF.E.

The effect of such a demand would necessarily be to tie Cheung Kai Shek down to a policy of inaction.\n\nEqually probable is it that the National Government would welcome the dislocation of the Strike Executive Committee, but as long as the strike continues to flourish financially and the strike leaders are able to line their pockets it is most unlikely that the Committee will abdicate and delegate its authority to the civil administration.\n\nIt is the opinion of many well-informed observers that the de facto government at Canton, which has now been in power since the middle of 1925, has made a genuine effort to discharge its responsibilities efficiently and conscientiously.\n\nThe boycott has released a large amount of labour for public works and the improvement in the cleanliness and orderliness of the City is said to be considerable. After years of militarism and anarchy, something resembling peace has been established in the Kwantung province, though a genuine respect for law and order has yet to be evolved (even in the City of Canton robberies and kidnapping are of frequent occurrence).\n\nBut conditions in China are everywhere notoriously unstable, and should anything occur to weaken the authority of the existing administration it is difficult to see what could take its place. There would probably be a return to anarchical conditions, and the whole countryside would be given over to piracy and brigandage. Even now there is always the possibility of conspiracy and assassination, and the Chinese high officials have all to be very carefully guarded.\n\nTabuk pic\n\n4.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 505549, "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": "CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926", "page_number": 271, "title": "CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926", "content_text": "1926\n\nLeas.\n\nI\n\nCALCULATION —\n\nal.

Mr. Dawson's layout had included this site in the ground set apart for the Royal Air Force and Dr. Dawson was surprised to hear that the area concerned was not definitely included in the ground available for Royal Air Force development without payment.\n\nHe stated that the Air Ministry was of the opinion that the whole of the lot, including the gaol site, was all equally at disposal.\n\nOn examination of old plans and despatches showed that the gaol site had throughout been regarded by this Government as a separate lot distinct from the Kai Tak Aerodrome area towards the cost of which His Majesty's Government had contributed £100,000. The question of whether payment should be requested for this area was left over for consideration. It was decided to make out the details of the complete cost to the Colony of Kai Tak, entering the expenditure connected with the gaol site as a special item, and to refer the whole question home in connection with the further expenditure necessitated by Mr. Dawson's proposals.\n\n5.\n\nIf these suggestions were entertained it would be necessary to develop the road round the north of the additional area but it was understood that the cost of this road was already included in the estimated total of $250,000.\n\nMr. Dawson's report (6) in 1510/26 C. on Kai Tak Aerodrome was also considered.\n\nIn the light", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-508-8 Plans and reports on proposed aerodrome at Kai Tak 11-1-1928 - 21-12-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514406, "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": "CO129-509-15 Water supply- development scheme 30-1-1928 - 17-1-1929", "page_number": 135, "title": "CO129-509-15 Water supply- development scheme 30-1-1928 - 17-1-1929", "content_text": "134\n\nduring the progress\n\nran into\n\nI should\n\nwould\n\nwhich\n\nwould\n\nDay.

Consequently, an allowance in respect of this sum should be made when the total Revenue for 1928 is compared with the previous years' collections and with the Estimates for the years 1929 and 1930.\n\nThe Estimates for 1928 were exceeded by the sum of $4,865,009 and the Revenue for 1927 by $3,623,863.\n\nThe completed accounts for 1928 showed that there was a surplus balance of $8,091,634, which exceeded the estimated surplus by $3,103,963.\n\nWith the exception of Light Dues, which fell below the amount estimated by $11,158, all heads showed excesses.\n\nThe most striking feature, which affords evidence of the improvement in local conditions, is the fact that the Revenue collected in 1928 exceeded the Revenue collected in the boom year of 1923 by $184,636, and was, therefore, a record collection in the history of the Colony. The \"Windfall\" of $1,963,359 recovered from Public Works Loan (1927) and credited to 1928 Revenue, is more than counterbalanced by the sum of $3,488,797, representing premia on Land Sales received in 1923. Another feature of importance was the income derived from Land Sales, which amounted to $1,635,236, surpassing the estimate of $150,000 by $1,485,236. Licences and Internal Revenue registered an increase of approximately $517,000, largely due to Assessed Taxes, Liquor Duties, and Revenue from Opium Monopoly. Other noteworthy increases were Fees of Court, &c. $79,665; Post Office-$151,918: Kowloon-Canton Railway-$101,800, mainly due to the through traffic to Canton being maintained; Rent of Government Properties-$84,384; Interest-$170,515; and Miscellaneous Receipts-$2,284,859 (including refund of $1,963,359 Public Works Loan expenditure).\n\nIn the year 1923, Land Sales netted $3,488,797, as against $1,635,236 in 1928. If these figures are deducted from the respective total Revenue and the above-referred-to sum of $1,963,359 for Public Works Loan Expenditure deducted from the 1928 Revenue, it will be observed that 1923 produced $21,294,966, as against $21,369,804 collected in 1928. These figures may be accepted as a fair index that the Colony has more than regained its feet after the serious setback experienced due to the disastrous strike of 1925.\n\n## 1929\n\nThe Crown Agents Accounts for the months of May and June are not yet available; consequently, the actual collection for the 1st half-year of 1929 on the heads Interest, Other Miscellaneous Receipts, Widows & Orphans' Pensions Contributions are approximate. The total Revenue for the 1st half-year amounts to $11,477,843, which exceeds six-twelfths of the year's estimate by about 3.38 lacs. The revised estimated revenue for the 2nd half-year is $11,222,157, bringing the revised estimated total Revenue for 1929 to $22,700,000 or about $422,000 in excess of the estimate. Certain fees payable annually in advance account for the difference between the totals for the 1st and 2nd half-year.\n\nReceipts from Land Sales in the 1st half-year 1929 amounted to $672,719, and the sum of $577,281 for the 2nd half-year includes arrears of premia due from the Kowloon Tong Estate and Praya East Marine Lot-holders, which it is expected will be paid into Treasury. The present active demand for Land appears to be steady.\n\nAppendix \"A\" shows the estimated financial position of the Colony at the close of the year 1929. The estimated liquid balance to be carried to the year 1930 is $6,224,977, which is $379,368 less than the liquid balance that was available on 1st January, 1929, the reduction being due to the estimated deficit of revenue under expenditure.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-519-1 Estimates for 1930 5-9-1929 - 14-11-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 522437, "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": "CO129-521-14 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 31-10-1930 - 10-1-1931", "page_number": 100, "title": "CO129-521-14 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 31-10-1930 - 10-1-1931", "content_text": "13\n\nHK\n\n72751 12/45+K\n\n92\n\nC.

The Revenue for the year amounted to $33,549,716 as against the original estimate of $33,991,510 while the revised estimate was $33,152,674. It will be seen therefore that while the revenue for 1932 fell short of the original estimate by $441,794, it exceeded the revised estimate by $397,042.\n\n2. Included in the total revenue for the year of $33,549,716 were two abnormal credits, viz., $222,873 and $238,794. The first was a reimbursement from loan account in respect of the salaries of officers employed on loan works as explained in the annual report on the finances for the year 1932. The second item represented the appreciation which had taken place in the market value of the Colony's sterling funds invested in London.\n\n3. With the exception of \"Duties\", \"Post Office\" and \"Land Sales\" each Head of Revenue showed an increase over the Estimates for 1932. In regard to Duties the falling off was anticipated as liquor and tobacco duties were reckoned on the basis of $1.00 = 1s. whereas the average rate of exchange throughout 1932 was over 1s. 3d. The decrease in Post Office Revenue was due mainly to the heavy decline in parcel post business particularly to Great Britain and China. Less activity in the property market caused a decline in sales of Crown Land which produced a sum $379,341 short of the estimate.\n\n4. The Opium Monopoly was estimated to yield $3,000,000; actually, the Revenue collected was $675,774 less. Stamp Duties were under the estimate by $280,799, mainly due to stagnation in the stock market.\n\n5. The principal increases were as follows: - Liquor Licences $114,707 due to increased rates from 1st January 1932; Vehicles Licences $69,635 due to an increase in fees and in the number of licensed drivers; Assessed Taxes $132,065 due to building development. Three large estates accounted for almost 5 lacs of the increase shown under Estate Duty and the institution of universal meterage and general building development were responsible for $298,439 increased in Water Excess and Meter Rents. The Kowloon Canton Railway earnings exceeded the estimate by $176,296. A considerable increase of $163,252 was shown under the head of Revenue \"Interest\" because the interest due in 1931 on the Joint Colonial Fund had been temporarily withheld and was not paid until 1932. Out of $191,902 increase in other Miscellaneous Receipts $179,551 was due to the item Profit on Exchange.\n\n6. The expenditure for the year amounted to $32,050,283 as against an estimate of $34,981,661, a decrease of $2,931,378. As the estimates were based on $1 = 1s. the savings brought about by the improved exchange position were so considerable that Council increased the vote for Public Works by $746,950 on 30th June. Even so the total revenue for the year exceeded the expenditure by $1,499,433 and 1933 opens with a surplus of assets of $12,847,062 instead of $11,812,803, as estimated.\n\n### 1933\n\n7. The Revenue for the year was estimated at $34,002,575 an increase of $11,065 over the estimates for 1932. The Revised Estimate for 1933 however is not expected to yield more than $33,027,000 and would have been still less had not two \"wind falls\" relieved the situation. The sale of half the City Hall site realised $1,250,000 and one large estate produced over $1,800,000 in Death Duties.\n\nPage 160\nPage 161", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-545-1 Estimates 1934 4-10-1933 - 17-4-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 556527, "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": "CO129-565-5 Hong Kong Eugenics League- activities 27-6-1937 - 31-8-1937", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-565-5 Hong Kong Eugenics League- activities 27-6-1937 - 31-8-1937", "content_text": "In VisCOUNT Fitzgibbons\n\n36 Ans\n\n22-1-737\n\nMh the\n\n?\n\nL43 2.
