For example, \"employ may have somerting to to. And that the auxions desire of the people be carried out of such a thing is allowed, your petitioner bego that a it in writing be given.\" should be corrected to \"employ may have something to do. And that the anxious desire of the people be carried out if such a thing is allowed, your petitioner begs that it in writing be given.\"\n\n## Step 4: Restore paragraph breaks and indicate missing words.\nThe original text has merged or split paragraphs. For instance, the petition and the official notices should be separated into distinct paragraphs or sections. Missing words due to OCR damage should be indicated with \"...\".\n\n## Step 5: Format the text in Markdown and apply the given rules.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown syntax for headers, bold text, and tables. File references should not have spaces inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 6: Reorder newspaper texts and reconstruct tables.\nNewspaper texts that are out of order due to OCR column recognition issues should be reordered. Data presented in a table format should be reconstructed into proper tables.\n\n## Step 7: Adjust Chinese writing direction if necessary.\nIf any Chinese text is present and was originally written from right to left, it should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 8: Output the corrected text in HTML format using  for paragraphs.\nThe final corrected text should be output in HTML format, using \n\n tags for paragraphs.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nproble of \n\nM8 \n\nemploy may have something to do.

We admit that the Ordinance just passed in Council tends to ameliorate the condition of the Coolie Emigration, and that it is a valuable supplement to Ordinances No. 11 of 1857, and No. 6 of 1859, which regulate the Coolie trade, and we feel satisfied that so long as the administration, which has recently very greatly lessened crime and increased protection for life and property in the Colony may continue, all the protection with which it is possible to surround the Coolie in Hong-Kong, will be afforded. But we still feel constrained to wholly and loudly condemn the conveyance from China of Coolies under contracts for service abroad for terms of years. This system is so inherently bad, and is so dependent upon crime and wrong for its existence, that we pray the day may come, when by the common consent of civilized nations, its prosecutions shall be rendered penal; and in the meanwhile, we beseech your Excellency to free Hong-Kong from the stain of participation in it, and to enact that no vessel whatever shall clear from Colonial waters with Chinese on board held to service or labour abroad by contract for a term of years, and that no such Contractors, no matter how or where entered into, shall be valid in the Colonial Courts.\n\n3. We do not require to relate in detail to Your Excellency the grounds which lead us to thus strongly deprecate what is commonly known as \"Emigration,\" and to pray that any promotion of it, within Colonial waters at least, may be made illegal. You are well aware that, assertion and evidence, so-called, to the contrary notwithstanding, few Chinese peasants enter into contracts for service or labour abroad, possessed of any clear, intelligent sense of what they are doing. Too often the miserable wretches doomed by this dreadful traffic to a life-time of exile and slavery (for although the trade has now existed for years, few, if any, of its victims have returned to China) are torn by violence from their friends and homes, or have been obtained by means of deception and misrepresentation; it being notorious to all persons acquainted with Chinese character, and manner of thought, that none of these people would consent to quit their native land, did they thoroughly understand the nature of the lives which even in the most favorable localities, say the British and Dutch West Indian Colonies and the Hawaiian Islands, lie before them.\n\n4. We are aware that in the case of vessel lying in this harbour for hired emigrants, it is nearly certain that our Colonial laws, earnestly, righteously, and rigidly administered as they would be, are sufficient to protect the liberties of the Chinese, as long as these remained within our jurisdiction; but the ship once despatched from Colonial waters, if her flag were non-British, Your Excellency might be constrained to witness all the beneficial regulations so carefully enforced set at naught, and crowds of emigrants, in addition to those obtained here, shipped within a few miles of this harbour, in defiance of all Colonial enactment. Upon this ground alone, we would consider the legislative remedy which we have asked for above to be imperatively required. But when we further remember that none of the classes of Chinese from which hired Emigration is drawn, are to be found in Hong-Kong at all, that this miserable system which we condemn cannot be justified even on the poor ground that it relieves us of pauperism or of crime, and that the only effect of its legalization is to allow the island to be used as a depôt for the collection of unhappy wretches, who know neither what they are doing, nor what is being done with them, we feel that we can scarcely urge our desire in language too strong for the occasion. For the reputation of the Colony, therefore, for the sake of example, and for the honour, in so far as it is given to Your Excellency and to ourselves to uphold the same, of the British Flag we call upon you to solemnly condemn by Colonial legislation this trade in human bodies, which, bearing the impress of misery wherever it is carried on, culminates at our very gates into the hideous form of slavery. It is because we are well assured that whenever a ship takes away hired labourers from China she is made an instrument of fraud and oppression, and because we desire to protest in the most solemn, public, and efficacious manner against the crimes and barbarities of which at least one locality at the mouth of the Canton river is the daily theatre that we urge your Excellency to take a step, which, we hope, will arrest the attention of the civilized world.",

        "content_text": "# SIR HENRY BLAKE AND THE PREVENTION OF PLAGUE\n\nWe noted briefly last evening, as we went to press, the proceedings of the meeting at the Council Chamber when H.E. the Governor met the members of the Sanitary Board for the purpose of submitting a statement as to the results of the recent administration of the experimental blocks of houses in Second and Third Streets.\n\nWe reprint in the present issue the full report of the proceedings as given by our morning contemporary to-day.\n\nAddressing the meeting, His Excellency said he had deferred it until he had first prepared a memorandum which those present had received, giving an account of the experiment that, with the permission of the Sanitary Board, he had entered upon. That experiment, he assured them, had not been undertaken from mere curiosity, but from an anxious desire to investigate into this scourge of plague, whose annual recurrence carried away so many valuable lives and inflicted such injury upon the business of the Colony. He ventured to enter upon that experiment because he felt that as a layman he might dare to attempt that from which professional men would probably shrink. For over ten years now, plague had swept over the Colony annually, like a typhoon, sweeping away thousands in its path, and before its ravages, sanitary precautions and medical science had alike been ineffectual.\n\nAs regarded the memorandum, His Excellency proceeded, he might therein have said something that perhaps some of those present thought would have been better left unsaid, but he was of opinion that in framing it, it would be better both for the public and for them that nothing should be omitted which might render more complete or effective any arrangements made for carrying on the business of fighting this epidemic in the future. To begin with, he was quite satisfied that no sanitary arrangements which could be made would ever be efficiently or economically carried out until the co-operation of the people had been secured.\n\nHere, as elsewhere, it had been the habit to say that this co-operation of the people was not possible, that it could not be attained. The speaker had been intimately associated with the government of all sorts and conditions of men, from his own mercurial countrymen to the Esquimaux of the Far North of Labrador, the negro of the West Indies, and now the representatives here of the Chinese race, whose civilisation had existed for thousands of years longer than ours; and he found that if the people were only approached in a proper spirit, they could be induced to follow the course marked out for them. Human nature was very much the same, in the East as in the West.\n\nAs Shylock said-\"If you prick me, will I not bleed; if you tickle me, will I not laugh; if you poison me, will I not die; if you wrong me, will I not avenge?\" In Labrador, the nomad Esquimau had been taken possession of by sympathetic action; the Moravian Mission established there had, by its exertions, transformed these nomad Esquimaux, who possessed among themselves no elements of higher feeling, into a respectable, law-abiding, trading community.\n\nWhilst in the West Indies, continued His Excellency, he remembered that a great scare of cholera occurred in the Bahamas. There, all the water was procured from surface wells, which were very dirty. The general idea was that the position was desperate, because the islands were inhabited by a primitive population of negroes. His Excellency got those people together and asked them to do something for themselves. He explained to them where the danger was and told them what to do - to get their wells cleaned and keep them clean. Arrangements to that end were carried out; the wells were cleaned and made perfectly safe.\n\nIn Jamaica, as in most places, the negroes were very improvident; their farming was conducted on very primitive lines, and they had no idea of progress. Here again, they were got together; an agricultural society, with small branches, was established; leading local men gave their assistance, and trained men were secured to teach the negroes what they ought to do. Now, that agricultural society at Jamaica was the most flourishing institution in the island; the people were improving their methods, and the island was becoming more and more prosperous.\n\nIn Hongkong, His Excellency said, they had been faced with the same conditions; they were face to face with a great difficulty, but they entered upon their task with the determination to leave nothing undone that money could accomplish in the effort to try to reduce the ravages that plague was responsible for. That the Colony had not been skimped in the matter of sanitation would be realised when it was stated that in 1897, the expenditure on sanitation was about $96,000; in 1898, in round numbers, it was $105,000; and the estimated expenditure for next year was $181,000. Nobody, therefore, could say that money had been spared or denied on sanitation in Hongkong, but so far as concerned this particular disease - plague - we were just where we were in 1897.\n\nThe people, however, were now more inclined to extend their help, but there still existed a doubt, a suspicion, a distrust of authority that was not confined to the Chinese alone, but was really found in certain classes in all countries. It was His Excellency's experience in other countries that if the people were approached in the proper spirit and trusted a little way, they would respond, and if the gentlemen present read the memorandum placed before them, they would find that in that small area in the Western district handed over to His Excellency, an area picked out as being amongst the worst in the Colony, and inhabited by a very poor class of Chinese, the people did respond, and responded most satisfactorily.\n\nHe had no hesitation in saying, went on His Excellency, that the co-operation and activity of the kaifong were worthy of any people of their class in any country. It behoved them, it behoved the members of the Sanitary Board, as the people in whose hands the carrying out of sanitary...",

Mr. Scott Harston (Chairman) presided and there were also present Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Sir Ellis Kadoorie, Mr. C. Montague Ede, and Mr. E. A. M. Williams (directors), Mr. J. H. Taggart (manager and secretary), Rev. Fr. Robert, the Hon. Mr. Ho Fook, Messrs. E. M. Raymond, Fung Tat Hang, W. E. Van Eps, Ho Kom Tong, and E. A.

Those resolutions, as you will remember, concerned:-\n\n(1.) The division of each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 into five fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\n(2.) The subsequent increase of the Company's capital from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each to be issued as indicated in the resolution No. 4 set out in the said notice.\n\n(3.) The capitalisation of the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of its general reserve, such capitalisation to be effected upon the lines indicated in the resolution No. 5 set out in the said notice.\n\nYour directors dealt at some length with the reasons which actuated your Directors in bringing forward the three resolutions in question, and I do not consider it necessary to deal further therewith now, except to remark that at the second extraordinary general meeting in question the three resolutions above referred to were unanimously passed as extraordinary resolutions, and that in order to comply with the provisions of the Hongkong Companies Ordinance, it is necessary that such resolutions shall be confirmed as special resolutions, and I accordingly beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the first of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(3.) That each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 be divided into 5 fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\nThe Rev. Father ROBERT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the second of the said three resolutions, namely:\n\n(4.) That after the division aforesaid, the capital of the Company be increased from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each - such new shares (subject as hereinafter mentioned) to be issued at such time or times and on such terms and conditions in every respect as the Company's Board of Directors may think fit.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Ho Fook seconded the resolution, which was carried.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the third of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(5.) That it is desirable to capitalise the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of the general reserve, and accordingly that for the purpose of effecting such capitalisation such sum of $1,000,000 be distributed as bonus among the shareholders of the Company in proportion to the shares in the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 held by them respectively on the date hereinafter referred to, and that a bonus be declared accordingly. And further that the Company's Board of Directors be and they are hereby authorised to satisfy such bonus as far as possible by the distribution in manner aforesaid of 100,000 shares of $10 each credited as fully paid up among the persons who are registered as the holders of the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 on such date as the Company's Board of Directors shall decide - such last mentioned shares to rank pari passu with the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 in respect of all profits of the Company earned since the 31st December, 1920, and such distribution to be in satisfaction of the aforementioned bonus.\n\nMr. Ho KOM TONG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, that concludes the business for which this meeting was convened, and I thank you for your attendance. There are certain further steps to be taken by your Board of Directors in connection with the various matters mentioned in the said notice and which have been the subject of the three extraordinary general meetings, and these will be attended to in due course.\n\nSHIPPING.\n\nPASSENGER LISTS.\n\nARRIVALS.\n\nPer s.s.
