I presume that the copy of the document containing these particulars has been communicated to Her Majesty's Government. \n\nEnclosure in No. 24. \n\nI have, &c. (signed) \n\nEllenborough. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from Lord Ellenborough to Lieut.-general Sir Hugh Gough, c.C.B. \n\nSir, \n\nFort William, Government House, 6 March 1842. I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that I arrived here on the 28th ultimo, and immediately took upon myself the office of Governor-general of India. \n\n2. I collect from your Excellency's letter of the 24th November 1841, to the Earl of Auckland, my predecessor, that on that day your Excellency calculated that of the European infantry, then under your orders, your Excellency would have disposal for operations to the northward early in the spring: * \n\nOf the 18th Royal Irish \n\nditto \n\n26th Cameronians 49th 55th ditto \n\n1,025 \n\n3,145 \n\n3. The reinforcements which will arrive at Singapore about the middle of April will consist of, I believe, nearly 800 recruits, for the 18th, 26th, 49th and 55th regiments, and of the 98th regiment, which will be about 700 strong. \n\n4. It may be assumed, therefore, that your Excellency will have at your disposal for the campaign of this year, an effective force of 4,500 European infantry. \n\n5. Her Majesty's ships of war will be able, I conclude, to furnish a battalion of at least 500 seamen, and another battalion of 500 marines. \n\n6. Your Excellency will be thus enabled to raise the European force of infantry at your disposal to 5,500 men. \n\n7. Measures have already been taken for sending from India to Singapore, where they will arrive about the middle or end of April, the 2d, 6th and 41st regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and a strong regiment of volunteers from Bengal. Of these measures, your Excellency is already apprized. \n\n8. Orders have now been given to sending likewise to Singapore, and thence to China, the 14th Madras Native Infantry, at present at Moulmein, and for sending on from the Straits to China, the 39th regiment of Madras Native Infantry. \n\n9. These several measures will place at your Excellency's disposal six complete regiments \n\nof native infantry, comprising an effectual force of 5,100 men. \n\n10. I understand that your Excellency will likewise have furnished to you, as a reinforce- ment from Ceylon, two companies, or 200 men, of the Ceylon (Malay) regiment. \n\n11. Your native infantry will thus amount to 5,300 men, and your total force of infantry to 10,800 men. \n\n12. The force of European artillery at your Excellency's disposal consists-First, of about 30 men of the royal artillery, who will be reinforced by 100 men of the same corps, who will arrive at Singapore in April, with the recruits for the Queen's regiments in China and the 98th regiment. \n\nSecondly, of a detachment of the Madras European artillery, stated in the distribution return of the troops of that Presidency, dated the 1st January 1842, to amount to 176 men ; and, \n\nThirdly, of sappers and miners, belonging to the same Presidency, stated in the same distribution return to amount to 247 men, who will be reinforced by 200 men of the same army. \n\n13. From \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n13. From Madras your Excellency will likewise receive a troop of horse-artillery, 100 strong, with 30 horses (four for each gun and six spare), a troop of foot-artillery of the same strength, and 500 gun Lascars. \n\n14. The force of European artillery, under your Excellency's orders, will therefore consist of 450 effective men, and the force of native sappers and miners of about 350 men, \n\n15. As your Excellency has already a small force of gun Lascars (57 men in the Madras distribution return above referred to), I trust that you will, when reinforced from Madras to the extent I have mentioned, have 500 gun Lascars effective. \n\n16. Your Excellency has been already informed of the quantity of guns and ammunition \n\nto be sent with the royal artillery to Singapore. For the facility of reference, however, \n\nI annex (No. --) to this letter a statement of the guns and ammunition to be so sent; and Not received at the likewise of the guns and ammunition to be transmitted from hence, and from Madras. \n\n17. I further annex to this letter (No. 1.) a statement of the naval force destined by Her Majesty for the services in the China and Eastern seas during this year, and of the steamers (No. 2.) belonging to this Government, which will be at the disposal of the Naval Commander-in-Chief. \n\n18. Great care has been taken in the selection and fitting up of the transports. Ample space has been given to the men to be embarked; their comfort as well as their health has been provided for; and the endeavour has been made, not however with all the success I should have desired, to obtain a considerable proportion of Europeans among the crews. \n\n19. The memorandums annexed (Nos. 4 and -) will show your Excellency and his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, what has been hitherto done towards making a provision of coals, of medical stores and hospital necessaries, and of articles of comfort and convenience for the men. \n\n20. The memorandum (No. 5.) will show your Excellency what has been done for pro- visioning the force. These measures may be considered as securing a supply of provisions for the European and native troops till April 1843. \n\n21. On referring to your Excellency's letter, above adverted to, of the 24th November 1841, I observe that your Excellency then calculated on retaining the 37th Madras Native Infantry, and the two companies of Bengal Volunteers, then under your orders. Your Excellency has since received instructions to send back those troops to their respective presidencies. I therefore omitted them from the enumeration of the force, to be at your disposal for this year. I have likewise omitted the Rifle company of the 36th Madras Native Infantry, which it is likewise requested that your Excellency will send back to Madras, \n\n22. It is of essential importance that native troops employed so far beyond sea should be regularly and frequently relieved. \n\n23. It appears by the same letter that your Excellency, in the event of your removing to the northward early in the season, proposed to leave garrisons at the several points of Hong- Kong, Kulungsu, Chusan and Chinghae. The total force of which would amount to \n\nEuropean Infantry \n\nArtillery \n\nNative Artillery \n\nSappers and Miners Native Infantry \n\n1,100 \n\n1,078 \n\n2,343 \n\n24. Should your Excellency, and his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, deem it expedient to continue to occupy all these four points on the coast of China, still, after deducting this amount of forec stated to be required for their occupation from that above enumerated, there will remain for operations of an active character \n\nEuropean Infantry \n\nSeainen \n\nMarines \n\nM \n\nNative Infantry \n\nEuropean Artillery - \n\nNative Artillery and Sappers \n\nGun Lascars \n\n3,400 \n\n4,224 \n\n9,759 \n\n25. It is the instruction of Her Majesty's Government, that this force shall be employed on the river Yang-tse-kiang, and that your Excellency should possess yourself of the island of \n\n596. \n\nE \n\nKin-shan, \n\nColonial Office. \n\n: \n\nJ", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 218166, "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": "CO129-005 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1844", "page_number": 39, "title": "CO129-005 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1844", "content_text": "Baptizate \n\nNo. 17. \n\nNo 3, of 184.– \n\nMelo nere N. 3 in.

I asked how the injury had been received? The prisoner present, William Cole, said he thought it was by a grape shot. I heard William Cole say that he had fired into the Junk. I considered it necessary that Ching-ke should be removed for treatment, as the consequences of such wounds are frequently dangerous. I heard the answer of the Admiral interpreted to Captain Pitman, that the Junk in question was a proper Junk, by which I understood not a piratical vessel.\n\nWILLIAM ROGERS, M.D., Surgeon.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nShanghae, &c.\n\nThe examination of JOSHUA BERKELEY, Esq., mate on board H.

I returned with this answer, and was again despatched with orders to the master to be on board H. M.'s S. Childers with his Log and papers within half an hour. The next day I was on board the Junk and saw the marks of several shot holes in her side and one in her stern.

Pitman, of Ching-chong-ke (the Chinese Admiral in charge of 7 junks), on board his vessel.\n\nRugged Islands, the 23d of June, 1848\n\nHas the English schooner Spec any right to be here?-No.\n\nWhether he knew what the English schooner Spec was about there?-Did not know.\n\nDid he know whether the Junk taken by the Spec was a pirate or not?-Did not know.\n\nDid he know what the schooner Spec was about with the Junk?-Did not know.\n\nWhether the Captain of the schooner had brought any of the crew of the junk on board to him, or made any complaint to him relative to the junk?-\n\nWhat became of the crew and cargo of the junk?-Taken on board the Spec, he believed.\n\nIs that English schooner any right to take the junk?—No\n\nDid he know why the Captain of the Spec did not bring the crew of junk on board his vessel?-Did not know.\n\nAfter the 2 Chinamen belonging to the junk and the mate of the Spec had been taken on board the Mandarin's junk, the following Questions were asked.-\n\nWhether the papers of the junk were correct?—They are all proper and correct, and signed by the proper authorities.\n\nIs any complaint to make against the schooner?—No.\n\nWhat cause had the schooner Spec to take that junk, whether it was proper to do so, and if the Chinese Mandarins like it?—The junk's papers are proper, but she had no business to have so many arms on board. The English vessel did wrong to take her; she has a right to carry arms. If the Chinese Admiral likes, the arms shall be returned to the junk—Part of them.\n\nIf he likes, remainder shall be sent to him or thrown overboard?—To be sent to him. Which was done.\n\nCaptain Pitman then told the junkmen that their junk, rice, and part of their arms, would be returned to them, and they would be allowed to go on with their fishing. They said they would return to Chin-hai.\n\nCaptain Pitman told the Chinese Admiral that the English schooner Spec had fired into the junk and wounded 3 men, and that one of the wounded men would be sent to the Shanghae Hospital for medical treatment. He said it was a bad affair, but was much obliged.\n\nAre you now quite satisfied that the junk is not a pirate? Yes, she is a fishing Junk of Chin-hae.\n\nI, John Charles Pitman, Commander of Her Majesty's Sloop Childers, do solemnly declare that the above is a true statement of my Questions and the Answers made to same, &c.

At six o'clock on the morning of that day, the Childers being then about\n\nPage 365\n\nfive miles from the shore, I saw a schooner and a Chinese junk was in company with her; looking with the glass I judged the junk to be almost a quarter of a mile from her, but it was impossible to judge correctly at that distance; the junk was standing into a bay, in the same way as the Spec (afterwards found the schooner to be) The junk and the schooner between 8 and 9 that morning anchored in a bay there close to each other; in the bay were three mandarin junks and some fishing-boats. It was calm, and we were obliged to anchor at A. M. between two and three miles of the schooner. During the forenoon we observed the schooner and junk apparently alongside of each other. I saw that some things were being discharged from the junk into the schooner, and refuse, floated past the Childers; from the direction in which they floated I supposed they had been thrown over from the junk; the tide flowed in a right line between the junk and the Childers. At 4 P. M. that day I weighed and made the Childers down to the schooner. I anchored about half a cable from her, and found the junk about half a cable's length nearly astern of her. I found the schooner to be the Spec. In consequence of a message sent by me on board the Spec at 5.30 P. M. that day, prisoner Cole came on board the Childers, bringing a Log-book and some Ship's Articles (witness produces them) which he affirmed to be the Log-book and Articles of the Spec. He said that he was acting as master of the Spec for another person who was absent at Ningpo. I asked him what he was doing there and what he was doing with the junk; he said he had captured her. I asked him if he had had any communication with the Mandarins, and what he had done with the people belonging to the junk; he said No to the first question, and to the second that the people were on board the Spec. I then asked him why he had not taken these men to the Mandarins, or brought them to me, as I had been in sight of him all day; he said he did not know. It was getting late and I told him that I should examine his vessel in the morning. He said in reply to any questions that he had not put in for stress of weather: that he was from Ningpo, and did not know any place in particular to which he was bound; that the junk had not fired at him or molested him, but that the pilot had told him that she was a pirate. I asked him why he had hailed her. He did not reply to this, before nine o'clock next morning I went on board the junk and examined her; I found that everything had been taken out of her excepting some nets and some small tubs of fish for bait. There were several shot holes in her hull that might have been caused by sound shot from a three or six-pounder gun; then I went to the Spec and mustered the Spec's crew. I found the articles were incorrect. Prisoner Cole said that the Chinese crew of the junk were in the fore hold of the Spec. I saw them brought on deck from the fore hold; their hands were tied together; seven of them had wounds about them; one of them was so severely wounded that I sent for the medical officer to examine him. I asked Cole how these wounds had been received, he said by shot from the Spec. I asked Cole if he had papers of the junk, he said. No; I then asked for the head man of the junk. One of the Chinamen came forward and produced some papers that had been sewn up in his clothing, and which by the interpretation of a Chinese from the Childers were pronounced to be the junk's papers. I conveyed to the\n\nPage 366\n\nhanded them over to the Chinese Mandarins. When subsequently questioned Cole about it, Cole said that the wound was caused by a grape shot from the Spec; and prisoner Ephraim Francis added that he thought it must have been caused by a grape shot. I subsequently released the crew of the junk, excepting the man who was badly wounded, and who was sent on board the Childers to be under medical care. I went to the Mandarins, and the crew of the junk (that is two of them) were examined before them. The Mandarins, as the interpreter explained to me, wished the crew of the junk to be released, as their papers were good. By their request I also handed over to them half the arms of the junk, handing the others to the junk's crew. The junk was a fishing junk of the ordinary class fishing thereabouts,\n\nThe quantity of arms belonging to the junk was not unusually large; the crew said she had them to protect herself against pirates. I found in a list of the arms belonging to the junk as detailed to me by Cole. Between 4 and 5 P. M. on the 22d June last I saw two Chinese boats alongside the junk; shortly afterwards as we\n\nJ. C.

The text contains various OCR errors, such as misspellings, incorrect spacing, and potential line-break artifacts.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon reviewing the text, numerous spelling errors are evident, such as \"Backed\" instead of \"Backed\" (correct), \"backel\" instead of \"backed\", \"rem:ding\" instead of \"running\", \"vids\" instead of \"yards\", \"awailants\" instead of \"assailants\", etc. These need to be corrected to their proper spellings.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and hyphenation or line-break artifacts.\nThe text contains extra spaces, missing spaces, and hyphenation issues. For example, \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to burrow a sama to embark some men.\" should be corrected to \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to borrow a sampan to embark some men.\" and \"I tent them my sanipat;\" should be \"I lent them my sampan;\".\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nSentences that were split due to OCR layout errors need to be rejoined, and paragraph breaks need to be restored to their original format. For instance, sentences broken across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words due to OCR damage.\nIf a word is clearly missing, it should be indicated with `...`. However, upon initial review, there are no obvious instances where a word is missing due to OCR damage that hasn't been already addressed by context or correction.\n\n## Step 6: Format the text in Markdown.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown syntax for headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables. Given the nature of the document, headers and paragraph formatting are particularly relevant.\n\n## Step 7: Ensure file references are correctly formatted.\nFile references should not have spaces inside parentheses, e.g., `XCR(85)72` is correct.\n\n## Step 8: Preserve page numbering information.\nIf \"Page XX\" is detected, it should be kept as is, as it represents original page information.\n\n## Step 9: Reorder newspaper texts if necessary and reconstruct tables.\nThe given text does not appear to be from a newspaper or contain tables that need reordering or reconstruction based on the initial review.\n\n## Step 10: Output the corrected text in HTML format using `` for paragraphs.\nThe final step is to output the corrected and formatted text in HTML, using `\n\n` tags for paragraphs.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n7.\n\nJ\n\n0\n\n307\n\nBacked out of the house. They did not attempt to go away before. They were not wounded in the house. When they backed out, they were followed by their assailants and then wounded. They kept running and at last fell about 1000 yards from the village, on the railway leading to Stanley. The wounds they received were mortal. I saw them dying. They were not far from each other. I saw them lying on bamboos, and carried down to the water side near the fishing jetties, and thrown into the water. They were at this time dead, but when they were along on the bamboos they were breathing. When they fell, some of their assailants went back to the village for bamboos and ropes. It was dark when they fell. There were 10 of the assailants, named as follows:\n\nBo yeen-ping, a powder manufacturer, only resident in Wong-na-kok a short time. I think from Wong-kong in Kwei-chuen.\n\nChui-arman, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time on the Island, a native of San-chuue-pie in Kwei-sheen.\n\nWun-a-cheong, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time in the village, a native of Wong-kong in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChui-arsarme, a labourer, a relation of Chui-apo, a native of Tan-chuune-pie, 10 years a resident of the village.\n\nLoo-aqui, only a very short time resident at the village; no employment, friend of Yeen-ping, from some place in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChoy-a-hing, 2 or 3 years resident of the village; a labourer, from Nu-...\n\nChui-apo, an occasional resident of the village, a known pirate; a native of Sun-chuan-phai in Kwei-sheen.\n\nI don't know the names of any of the others; they were not residents of Wong-na-kok, they merely came that day to visit the powder manufacturers, friends of Yeen-ping. I correctly identify at least 10 that were concerned in the murder. Chui-apo had the handling of the murdered officers. I did not see any one take their watches or rings. He was the ring leader in the fray. When the officers entered the village, I saw that they carried sticks. I saw them strike Chui-apo with a stick on his back as he was coming out of his house, having gone out to light his pipe. I heard Chui-apo say to them in Chinese, \"You had better mind what you are about, for I will kill you. I have done nothing to you.\" The officers were drunk. They threw stones at everybody who stood to look at them. When they entered my father's house, I also went in. I remained there until the villagers came in armed. In the interval, I saw both my father and mother struck; blood was drawn from both of them. They were both struck on the head. They did not call in the villagers to their assistance; they came of their own accord. All the villagers were looking on during the conflict - over 20. My father and mother called out to the villagers to assist. My mother is now in Stanley. My sister-in-law has gone to Little Hongkong to her mother's. The family name is Cheen. Cheen-ur-ching is the name of my sister-in-law.\n\nLO-YANG-SHING, a native of Hongkong. [This man was taken to Stanley by some officers. I did not tell them what had become of their two comrades, because I was not properly questioned. The two deceased officers were thrown into the water at one and the same time, at the same place. During the conflict, I particularly noticed Chui-apo and Chui-arman. I saw them stab the two officers with spears. I can't say where in the body they were stabbed. I cannot say in which hand the spears were held. Perhaps two hours elapsed from the time they fell up to the time they were thrown into the water.\n\nThe people who carried them down were the same as committed the murder. They were thrown into the water to avoid detection. I did not see any of the party burning the grass. Chui-apo was the man who struck the first blow. I don't know that any of the villagers were wounded. It was the small officer who caressed my sister-in-law - the one with whiskers. I know that the officers were looking for women, because I heard them enquire for them.\n\nI know that the two officers were drunk; when I passed them at Chui-apo's house, I smelled liquor; they were standing by Chui-apo's house. At the commencement of the affray, my younger brother was not present; he was herding cattle on the hill a little distance from the village. When the fight was over, he saw the others fall.\n\nA three-pronged spear is shown to the Deponent. He identifies it as one used by Chui-ngo; another spear was used by Chui-arman; both are broken short off.\n\nLO-YAT-CHOW, a boy 11 years of age, being warned in a similar manner to the defendants, states, I reside in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday last, the 25th February, I was engaged in tending cattle. During the evening, I was returning with them. I saw my sister-in-law carrying two bundles of value into one basket. I saw two English officers in the village. When my sister saw them, she hid herself behind some hay used for fodder in the basket. I went into said hay. I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; father and mother interfered; my father as well as mother were struck by one of the officers; I saw blood come from my father's head. I did not see any of the villagers go into my father's house armed with spears. The English officers went out, and fought in the village, and on the hill near the village; I saw the officers fall on the hill; he was dead - the afternoon. I went to see him. I saw them both afterwards slung upon bamboos, and carried away. I don't know where they were taken to. The following Chinamen were concerned in the affray: Chui-arman, Wun-a-cheong, Chui-arsarme, Choy-a-hing, Chui-apo. The bodies of the officers were carried past the village, that is, through the village, by the same men who had murdered them. None of these in custody were concerned in the murder. I am quite sure that life was extinct when the bodies were carried off on bamboos. I did not see any of the Chinamen take any watch or rings from the deceased officers.\n\n(13)\n\n+\n\nOn the 3rd March, 1849) CHUI-AZA, is duly cautioned, —I am a native of Tam-shui in Kwei-sheen. I am a fortune-teller; I predict good and bad weather. On Sunday last, I was in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday, the 25th of February, two English officers came into the village. I think they were drunk. They began to go into the various houses there, and assault their inmates. I did not see them go into Chui-apo's house; I saw them go into Lo-yaong-shing's. I do not know what took place there. I saw a fight going on in front of the village. Chui-apo and his men did not go into Lo-yang-shing's house. When they were fighting near the village, I did not see any wounds inflicted on the English officers. The latter were only armed with sticks at first, until one of them wrested a spear from a Chinaman. It was getting late in the evening, and I could not see the end of the struggle. Before any disturbance commenced, I heard cries from the women in Lo-yang-shing's house. It was then that the villagers armed themselves with spears and fought. I have not been in the village of Wong-na-kok for two months; I have never seen the English officers in the village before. When I was at Wong-na-kok, I lived in a room adjoining Chui-apo's. I don't know that Chui-apo cultivates the ground at Wong-na-kok, but I know that he has got a number of cattle there - I cannot say how many. I am 65 years of age.\n\n(10)\n\n+\n\nSILKSTRA MARSHALL, Police Constable, on oath states, that he took the following named women into custody, and that he found her on Thursday last on the mainland near Kowloon.\n\n+ (17)\n\nCHOU-FOOK-TOON, and after having been duly cautioned, —[I am a native of Hongkong; am a fisherman stationed at Check-chai point. I remember Sunday night, the 25th of February. This man does not appear willing to say anything farther.]\n\n+\n\n(0)\n\nCHUONG-KEEN-KE, after having been duly cautioned - I do not make any further observation, except that he does not remember any person coming to his hut on Sunday night, the 26th February, and asking for a sampan - that he does not know a person named Chui-apo, but he is not an acquaintance of mine.\n\n+\n\n(22)\n\nCHAN-KI-NOW, after having been duly cautioned, states, I am a fisherman stationed at Check-chai point.

I live in a small hut about three-quarters of a mile from the village. [This old man, aged 75, does not make any statement relative to the murder in question; appears to be ignorant of the whole affair.]\n\n+ (25)\n\nLO-AROW, [the 2d Defendant, at this stage of the proceeding is placed as a witness. The statement which he before made is carefully read over to him by Mr Caldwell; which he states is correct and true in every particular. He is now sworn as to its correctness; and further attests on oath.] - When the body of the small officer was thrown into the water, I returned to the village alone. Chui-apo and his men returned also to the village. They left shortly afterwards, on hearing the voice of foreigners. They went to Stanley - I don't know whether by water or land. [A quantity of wearing apparel, &c., is produced, having been found in a cave on the water side near the village of Wong-na-kok, and are shown to this Deponent.] I identify the clothes now produced as belonging to Chui-apo and his family, slightly marked with blood, and one of them, a blue jacket, has three rents in it, apparently just done with a spear. Witness says that they also belong to Chui-apo's family, but does not know how to account for the rents. Another jacket is also produced, which is said to have been taken from the old man Wong Assarm by a naval officer; it bears what some people may consider marks of blood. Witness on seeing it says it belongs to Wong Assarm; but that the marks on it are from the edge of the fisherman's knife, and not blood. - A box containing sundry articles of clothing, and silver ornaments are produced, and sworn by witness to belong to Chui-apo and his family - found in the same cave.] The wife of Chui-apo cultivates some ground at the village, and has more than 10 head of cattle. I could point out scores of them.\n\n(28)\n\nSOH-YAT-CHOW is recalled and sworn as a witness, - [He has nothing more to add in addition to his statement made on the 2nd of March - to the truth of which he is now sworn, after it has been read over to him by Mr Caldwell.]\n\nTaken before me on the date above written,\n\nCHARLES G.

I was in Wong-ma-kok on Sunday, the 25th of February last, but don't know what occurred there. I was sick in bed, and neither heard nor saw any occurrence. I left the village because the other people did. They left because the Police interfered. I don't know where Chui-apo has gone to. Chui-apo left me because I am too old for him. I am 63 years old.

The Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang, &c. I make known to the Council of Government, that I have received a Despatch from the Mandarin of Caza Branca, in which he states that he has received from Gan-cha-su another Despatch informing him that the Mandarin of Shon-tak had seized a criminal and discovered the head and hand of the noble Governor, all of which he had taken to Canton to be examined:\n\nThat the Lieut-Governor, after trying and sentencing the assassin, had ordered his head to be taken to Macao by a deputed officer, there to be exposed to the public, and at the same time to deliver the head and hand of the noble Governor!\n\nThat the three men, the soldier Sem-fong-liong, Bi-lin-pin, and Tang-to-shen, should be first surrendered, in order to show good faith.\n\nUnder these circumstances, I address this Despatch to the noble Council, that they may order the immediate delivery of the three men, Sem fong-liang, Si-lin-pin, and Tang-to-shen, that I may make it known to my superiors; and as soon as the deputed officer arrives, I shall again address you.

I, the Procurador, &c, make known to the Mandarin, that having laid before the Council your Despatch of this date, they direct me to inform you, that they have already received a Despatch from the Viceroy of Canton on the subject, stating that a deputed officer has been despatched to deliver up the head and hand.\n\nIt is necessary, therefore, that they be given up immediately without any clause or condition whatever, so that after being identified as the real ones, they may be received, and in default, the Council will not answer for the consequences.\n\nThe Council further direct me to inform you, that they will never consent that the head of that unfortunate wretch who was executed be exposed at Macao. Finally, they order you to be advised, that it is not your place to correspond with the Council, and that you are well aware of the course to be followed in this respect, and no further correspondence will be received by them from the Mandarins of the District.\n\nMANOEL PEREIRA.\n\nMacao, 20th September, 1849.\n\nThe Mandarin Tro-tang, Wang, to the Procurador, The Mandarin Tso tang, Wang-In reply to the last Despatch of the Procurador relative to the murder of the noble Governor Amaral, —\n\nI proceed to communicate to you, that in a case of this nature His Excellency the Viceroy of Canton could not fail to use diligence for the apprehension of the culprit and discovery of the head and hand, which he in fact obtained; and, as has been already intimated, a deputed officer will bring the head to be delivered to the Portuguese Government.\n\nThe deputed officer is expected at Caza Branca in the course of the day, of which I inform the Procurador, that you will let me know the hour to-morrow on which the reception is to be made, in order that when the deputed officer arrives, he may make the delivery at the appointed time.\n\nWith regard to the three men belonging to the Barrier gate, it would be convenient, when you are about to give them up to me, that I also should receive previous notice, in order that I may report the same to my superiors.\n\nAs to the head of the criminal, as the Portuguese Government does not wish it to be exposed at Macao according to the laws, I will select some other place to expose it to the public. As soon as the deputed officer arrives, I shall again address you.\n\nTaukwang, 29th year, 9th moon, 9th day. (25th Sept.)\n\nThe Mandarin Wang, Tso-tang, to the Procurador. Wang, Tso-tang, &c.—I make known to the Procurador, in consequence of your answer to me stating that the reception of the head and hand of the noble Governor will take place at the Barrier gate, and that I should inform you of the arrival of the deputed officer, in order that you might fix a day for the reception, that the deputed officer has already arrived with the head and hand of the noble Governor; and I hope that the Procurador will let me know when the reception will take place, in order that the said deputed officer may go and deliver them up.\n\nI hope so that you will inform me when you will surrender the three individuals belonging to the Barrier gate, as this is necessary.\n\nTaukwang, 29th year, 8th moon, 10th day. (26th Sept.)\n\nThe Procurador to the Mandarin Tee-tang, Wang. I the Procurador, &c., make known to the Mandarin, that having laid your despatch of this date before the Council of Government, they direct me to communicate to you that o'clock on the morning of the 27th instant is the hour fixed for the reception of the head and hand of the most Excellent deceased at the Boundary Gate, when the delivery should be made at the appointed hour.\n\nMANOEL PEREIRA.\n\nMacao, 26th September, 1849.\n\nThe Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang, to the Procurador. The Mandarin Tao-tang, Wang, &c.-I make known to the Procurador that you having addressed me several times requesting that when the deputed officer should arrive, I would let you know, for the reception of the head and hand of the noble Governor Amaral; you however have never mentioned the three individuals belonging to the Barrier gate, and even yesterday, when you stated that the day and hour for the reception had been fixed for 5 o'clock in the morning,you did not allude to those individuals. As the orders given by His Excellency to the deputed officer were, that the head should be given up after the three individuals had been delivered to him, therefore, as these have not been surrendered, he cannot answer to His Excellency, and as a deputed officer from the Imperial Commissioner, how can he dare to deliver them of his own accord? I therefore address the Procurador that you may deliver without delay these three men, when the head of the noble Governor shall be immediately given up; and if you are not going to deliver them, it is unnecessary to fix the hour for its reception.\n\nI have thought proper to communicate this to the Procurador.\n\nTankwang, 29th year, 8th moon, 10th day. (26th Sept.)\n\nThe Procurador to the Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang. I, the Procurador, &c, &c., make known to the Mandarin Tao-tang, by order of the Most Excellent Council of Government, that a long time having already elapsed since the hour fixed at your request for the delivery of the head and hand of the Most Excellent the deceased Governor of this Province, the Councillor Amaral, which delivery has not taken place, owing to the non-appearance on the spot appointed for that purpose, of the person charged to give them up, in grave violation of the consideration due to the Portuguese Government, and of the good faith with which it has a right to be treated, the Council direct me to intimate to you that such a proceeding on your part, which would have been very reprehensible in other circumstances, is intolerable in the present case, as it is in opposition to what was communicated to the Council by the Viceroy of Canton.\n\nYou were well aware, for you had been informed, that the delivery was to be unconditional; and therefore I am charged by the Council to repeat to you that they do not admit any other terms or condition than that the delivery be made before 4 o'clock this afternoon, the latest period the Council can fix; and if at that hour the head and hand are not effectively handed over to the persons entrusted by the Council to receive them, the Council will not hold themselves answerable for the consequences that may ensue, owing to the excitement of all the Portuguese people, justly irritated by such a proceeding.\n\nWhilst writing this (10 o'clock A. M., I received your chop of yesterday, stating that the deputed officer, having orders from the Viceroy not to make the delivery until after receiving the three Chinese, who, not being criminals, are only detained here until the conclusion of the necessary investigations, cannot avoid complying with them. The Council, before whom I immediately laid your communication, desire me to inform you that the Viceroy, in his chop to the Council, clearly and explicitly says that he was about to send the head and hand of the deceased Governor, to be delivered to the Council, without taking any condition.\n\nThe Council could neither accept them with any conditions whatsoever, nor the Viceroy impose any without compromising himself gravely: and if in the beforementioned chop he alluded to the release (and not to the delivery) of the said three individuals, it was evidently to make it dependent on the restitution of the head and hand of the Illustrious Governor, which is due to the Government of Macao as the most sacred of all rights, and which the Council cannot renounce, but which it is indeed their duty to maintain, as they are decided to do at all risks.\n\nHaving adverted in your previous chops to the delivery of the aforesaid three Chinese, inquiring when they would be given up, you only now think of invoking the name of the Viceroy to insist upon it as an\n\n226", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 229566, "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": "CO129-031 - Public Offices - 1849", "page_number": 66, "title": "CO129-031 - Public Offices - 1849", "content_text": "Age \n\nherself and infant daughter, were \n\ncalamity Entirely \n\ncut off. \n\nThat the said \"ticias smithers the month of January \n\nhundred and forty a proportion \n\nlowa \n\ndy creating \n\n\" \n\nby this \n\nfree \n\nof his to a \n\nprusion pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases. \n\nof his saing disabled (your) beheres that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during \n\nthe remainder of his life. \n\n\"That it has \n\nbeen \n\na \n\npetitione. \n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration \n\nand render assistance to the survivors of \n\npersons killed in their device and a lit Ke.. \n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

The text includes various sections such as government notifications, news, births, marriages, deaths, and reports on typhoons and their aftermath.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we need to correct obvious spelling errors, remove extra spaces, and fix hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"calancity\" should be \"calamity\", \"savo 'ticias\" should be \"said Ticias\", and \"prusion pond\" should be \"prisoner or provision pond\" but based on context, it seems \"prision\" is likely meant to be \"provision\".\n\n## Step 4\nRejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary is also crucial. For instance, sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nThe text contains sections that need to be formatted into Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold types, and tables need to be formatted accordingly. For example, main titles should be preceded by \"#\", sections by \"##\", and bold text should be surrounded by \"**\".\n\n## Step 6\nFile references should not have any spacing inside parentheses, e.g., \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\". Page numbering lines, if detected, should be kept as they are, usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end.\n\n## Step 7\nNewspaper texts might not make sense due to OCR errors in recognizing columns. Reorganizing them like a puzzle might be necessary to restore the original meaning.\n\n## Step 8\nData in tables should be properly organized to reconstruct the table format.\n\n## Step 9\nSome Chinese writing might start from right to left, and if such reversal is observed, the text should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 10\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAge\n\nherself and infant daughter, were\n\ncalamity Entirely\n\ncut off.\n\nThat the said \"Ticias smithers the month of January\n\nhundred and forty a proportion\n\nlowa\n\ndy creating\n\n\"\n\nby this\n\nfree\n\nof his to a\n\nprovision pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases.\n\nof his saying disabled (your) believes that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during\n\nthe remainder of his life.\n\n\"That it has\n\nbeen\n\na\n\npetitione.\n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration\n\nand render assistance to the survivors of\n\npersons killed in their device and a lit...\n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion. We don't of course agree with the remarks of our contemporary but we entirely agree with the letter which we publish. Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests. Now, as well as in 1841, one noble neighbours are pressing the granting of their commerce.

Let the owners of water pay 3 cash per load for the water man's wages.\n\nFire—Hongkong ought to put up a reward or prize for any who shall seize a water or miscreant in any Mandarine's employment; and when masters of these shall be convicted under evidence, let a reward of hundred dollars be given to the informer.\n\nAlso, should any shop or dwelling house for want of care allow fire to kindle, let the offender be taken up and receive a thrashing of one hundred blows, made to carry it for three months correction, for not being careful against fire and the sin of involving others. Thus by the establishment of such a rule, men would certainly be careful against the grievous accident with catching animosity.\n\nBarbarians—At present the Mandarines of China have laid an embargo on Hongkong—prohibiting intercourse. Vessels going and passing boats from the neighboring places around perhaps come, perhaps not; perhaps several unite in coming together, to guard against the sea pirates they thus unite. Now the Mandarines have put out a proclamation prohibiting the Chinese from coming to Hongkong, but permitting their return home. We hear it stated that the Mandarines have thus fixed the time to the 1st month of next year—February 1857—before which none are to go or come; if they do they are to be seized as transgressors, and dealt with accordingly. Now although the hoted time has not arrived, still all the vessels that arrive at Hongkong, whether from city or village, should be carefully examined by some trusty conductor of a government boat, as to their business, whence from, name and surname, their age and appearance, and where they intended going in Hongkong; of which write in a book by which there will be a means of examining into the matter. Also, let each vessel examined for soldiers, implements of war, or other suspicious instruments. Examine the oven on board, whether they have anything suspicious in their appearance, and search their persons to see if they have any daggers about them, or any traitorous letters or clues of wicked devices, instantly examining everything on board, after which allow them to go on shore. As the present is a time of war, if there are traitors among the people of Hongkong, many of them rebels taking refuge; besides the men without employment will be many, poor and it is difficult for these to accept to any other occupation. The thieves, though numerous, will be found willing to observe the Laws, and will certainly not be the disturbers of the peace. Their machinations are at war, and it will be found exceeding difficult to effect a translation—apparently the subtle proclamation broadcast over the English were to select a crew of sturdy lads among those who frequent the brothels dispersed over the City. These are principally boasted above spies.

Suppose the Mandarines and gentry should secretly and in concert at a given time to set fire to the prostitutes' houses, poison the wells, and make an united attack both from the kind and out.\n\nMoreover, they would break the Embargo, placed on Hongkong and also in cutting off supplies, we fear all the dire that like an hell become a reality.\n\n| Jan.

T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nCalcutta, AT HONGKONG, 17th March, 1859.\n\nSIR,\n\nHaving received information that a number of Pirate Vessels had assembled near their old haunt at Coolan, I despatched Her Majesty's Ship Niger, and the Gun-boats Janus and Clown, on the 11th instant, in search of them, accompanied by Mr Caldwell, Registrar General, who, as usual, kindly volunteered his services.\n\nThe Squadron returned last night, and I do myself the honour of forwarding your Excellency Acting Captain Colvile's report of his proceedings, which will show the essential service rendered to the community at large, and the gallant manner in which Captain Colvile and the Officers and Men engaged, have succeeded in destroying a formidable force of Pirates.\n\nI beg to draw your Excellency's notice to the good service rendered by Mr Caldwell—an additional claim to the many already possessed by that zealous Officer.\n\nAs this is the last opportunity I shall have of addressing your Excellency on the subject of Piracy, I beg your Excellency will express to Mr Caldwell my high sense of the important services rendered by him on the numerous occasions he has volunteered to accompany Her Majesty's Ships on expeditions against Pirates, in which he has volunteered to share all the danger, without the inducements which animate Naval Officers to distinguish themselves.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient, humble Servant,\n\nM. SEYMOUR, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.\n\nHis Excellency SIR JOHN BOWRING, LL.D., &c., &c., &c., Hongkong.\n\nH.M.S. Niger, HONGKONG, 16th March, 1859.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to lay before you the results of my late cruise after Pirates, and to congratulate your Excellency on the success of the undertaking.\n\nActing on information received at Macao, the whole of the 12th instant was spent in searching for a Fleet of Piratical Vessels cruising in the vicinity of the Tang Rocks, but failing to discover them, I weighed towards evening, and anchored late off Koolan, with the intention of visiting Tsoo-chong, under whose batteries a formidable Fleet of Piratical junks were known to be lying—the depredators of several valuable cargoes: an Owner and Master of two of the captured Junks acting as Pilots, under the able and effective assistance of Mr Caldwell, Registrar General.\n\nAccordingly, at 7 on the morning of the 13th, I proceeded with the Boats (as per margin*) in tow of the Gunboats Clown and Janus, and after a run of 14 miles came within sight of a large flotilla of heavily-armed Junks and Row-boats, hauled under the protection of what we subsequently discovered to be regular defences, consisting of a water Stockade, with a double ditch and high stockaded embankment, armed with 36 Guns, protecting the whole sea face and flanks of Tsoo Chong.\n\nDirecting Lieutenant Wells in the 10-oared Cutter to examine a suspicious Junk to windward, whilst the Janus overhauled two others to leeward, I took the remaining Boats directly in towards the central force of Junks, leaving the Clown to cover our movements, but with peremptory orders to fire only in case the Shore Batteries opened on the Boats.\n\nHowever, it soon became evident that the Enemy were prepared for a determined resistance, the Crews of the Junks joined the Villagers, who, with violent ejaculations and waving white Flags, on which the characters \"Hoong-kin-wong,\" (Triad King,) was prominent, invited us on, at the same time a heavy fire of Round and Grape opened on our advance.\n\nForming behind a knoll of land, insulated by 500 yards of shallow water from the left extreme of the Stockade, leaving the Pinnace to cover the landing, and much assisted by the very excellent shell practice of the Gunboats, the storming party dashed waist-deep into the Stockade, and receiving a fire of Grape entered the embrasures of an 8-gun Battery, bayonetting the defenders, who crowded the inner ditch and appeared paralysed by the vigour of our proceedings.\n\nAfter a short hand-to-hand encounter, they retired precipitately, and now was seen the extraordinary sight of 60 Blue Jackets and Marines chasing fully 500 armed Men, through brakes and narrow acclivities for nearly two miles in the rear of the works.\n\nIn this movement great numbers of the Enemy were killed, and it had the effect of turning the Sea-defences, thus rendered comparatively harmless.\n\nThe storming party were now joined by the men under Lieutenants Blake and Wells, who, by a judicious detour to the right, had materially assisted in the discomfiture of the Pirates.\n\nEvery House in the Town was a Magazine, in which large quantities of Arms and Munitions were stored. I consequently directed the Village to be burnt. Eight large piratical fighting Junks and eleven Fast-boats shared a similar fate, their Guns having previously been sunk in deep Water. The 36 Guns of the Land-defences were also destroyed. Considerable resistance was offered by two of the Junks; the Boats were repeatedly hulled.\n\nWhen I bring to your Excellency's notice the very large force of Men, consisting of at least Thirteen Hundred effectively armed, with a necessary perfect knowledge of locale, and the determination they evinced in opposing our landing, I cannot but feel astonished at our good fortune: not a casualty occurred, whereas the loss of the Enemy could not have been under a Hundred and Eighty Men.\n\nAfter communicating with a Mandarin Junk force just arrived from Macao, with the information that 7 Pirate Junks were at anchor off Lie-wan-moon, opposite Moto, the Boats returned to the Ship at Koolan.\n\nMarch 14. Having despatched the Niger to await my arrival at Macao, I proceeded with the whole Boat Force to examine the numerous creeks to the west of Broadway en route to Lie-wan-moon.\n\nIn Ly-kee, a Bay opposite Koo-lan, four piratical Junks, with Guns, numerically formidable, were driven on Shore and burnt by Lieutenant Villiers. In the largest, an English red Ensign was found.\n\nIn a deep inlet to the North of Louchow, three others were captured and destroyed.\n\n*Galley—Acting-Captain Colvile.\n\nPinnace, Lieutenant Blake, Mr Laurenson, Mr Pearce, Mr Markham, and Mr Buck.\n\n1st Cutter,—Mr Price, Midshipman.\n\n2d Cutter, Mr Smyth,\n\ndo.\n\n3d Cutter, Mr Wells, Mr Potter, and Mr Wesley; subsequently to the destruction of Tsoo-Choong, Lieutenant Villiers...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-073 - Lieut.

The actual charges, if any, incurred in the demolition of my houses on Inland Lot No. 41, and in the removal of the materials.\n\n2ndly. Whether such materials were sold in market overt and upon due advertisement at their fair value, for the purpose of putting you into funds to defray the lawful charges incidental to the warrant.\n\n3rdly.

HUDSON.\n\nSurveyor General's Office, Victoria, 19th September, 1856.\n\nSIR,-In acknowledging the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, I am constrained to decline furnishing you with my reading of the Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, for, if the perusal of any section of that Ordinance justified you in your legal adviser's opinion in asking me such questions as what was the cost of removing the adjudicated nuisance in Lyndhurst Terrace when, where, and how I sold the materials, and what part of the product I am prepared to place at your disposal, it follows that he and I differ considerably as to the meaning of many words in the English language, and therefore I fear that any attempt at explanation on my part would but elicit additional and more eccentric queries.—I have, &c., &c.\n\nWILLIAM COWPER, Acting Surveyor General.\n\n(Signed)\n\nA. R. HUDSON, Esq., &c., &c., &c.\n\nCaptain Cowper, R.E., Acting Surveyor General.\n\n(Copy.) No. 5.\n\nHongkong, 19th September, 1856.\n\nSIR, I have the honour to acknowledge your letter No. 21 of this date, in which you refuse and finally decline to give me any information whatever as to how you have disposed of the materials of my confiscated property.\n\nThis would seem to be sufficiently discouraging to any further queries on my part, but it is not, as I find occasion to put the following further queries, even though they should turn out as unproductive as the first, and even be exposed to your ban of being \"eccentric.\"\n\nI see the materials in question deposited on the site of the new Police Station in Wellington Street and being worked up in its construction. The contract price of that new work is said by common report to be $15,000, which must be taken accordingly as the full and fair market price of the work to be done. My materials being placed in the hands of your contractor ought to make a very considerable difference either to him or to the public in the benefit of that contract; and as my object is to ascertain, (or at worst find that I cannot ascertain,) how far the Colonial chest has been eased and this public benefited at my expense, I take leave to put to you the following further queries.\n\n1stly.\n\n-What sum of money or other consideration has your contractor given for the materials of my late houses which he is working up in the construction of the new Central Police Station?\n\n2ndly. What has been the form of that consideration? Has a fixed sum of money, and if so in what amount, been paid for the materials, or has their appraised value been abated from the original contract price of the new Government buildings. If so, the date when the value, if in money, was paid into the Colonial Treasury,if in abatement, the date when that abatement was indorsed on the original contract, and when the same was officially audited.\n\n3rdly. In what amount has your Department reimbursed Her Majesty's Government for the labor of its convicts employed in removing the materials in question to the site where they now lie?\n\n4thly.-Finally, and again, whether after disposing of the materials up to the intent and purposes of the warrant, namely the abolition of the alleged nuisance and defraying all due charges incidental to its execution, whether in the shape of reimbursing Government for convict labor, or in any other shape, you do or do not hold any surplus proceeds at my disposal on demand.-I have &c., &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nA. HUDSON.\n\n(3)\n\nNo. 22.\n\nSurveyor General's Office, Victoria, 22nd September, 1856.\n\nSIR,-In answer to your letter of yesterday, I express my regret that mine of that date failed to put you in possession of my intentions, viz: to end the correspondence between us; for as I wrote before.\n\nIf from the perusal of Ordinance 8 of 1856, you think yourself justified in asking me such questions as are contained in your letters, it is evident to me that we differ considerably as to the meanings of many words in the English language, and that therefore questions propounded by you and answered by me would only produce a compound misunderstanding. I have, &c., &c.\n\nWILLIAM COWPER, Acting Surveyor General.\n\n(Signed)\n\nNo. 2.\n\n+\n\nHongkong, 20th September, 1856.\n\nThe Honble. W. T. Mercer, Esq., Colonial Secretary.\n\nSIR,I have the honor to request that you will lay the accompanying correspondence between the Surveyor General and myself before His Excellency Sir John Bowring.\n\nMy letters in address are numbered 1 to 5,-the Surveyor General's in reply 19 to 21.\n\nThe information which I have thus in vain applied for, I require for the purpose of being embodied in a memorial of this transaction which I am preparing for the Secretary of State, and I now address myself with all respect to His Excellency, requesting that he will either be pleased to command this information to be given to me, or else to justify the acting Surveyor General in his refusal to give it, and take upon himself the whole responsibility of that refusal.\n\nI allege that materials which cost me over nine hundred dollars, were carried away by the Surveyor General and his gang of convicts, while the actual charges of abating the nuisance adjudged, did not amount to thirty dollars. I ask for the purpose of laying my case more clearly before the Secretary of State, and the Imperial Parliament-What became of the surplus? and am told, that my enquiry is an \"eccentric\" one.\n\nI again and finally ask, with all respect, whether His Excellency is prepared to justify that answer, either directly, or by refusing to interfere with it.—I have, &c., &c.\n\nA. HUDSON.\n\nNo. 681.\n\n(Signed)\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 22nd September, 1856.\n\nSIR, I have the honor to acknowledge your letter No. 2 of 20th instant, and am directed to reply, that the question involved in it implies an accusation against the Acting Surveyor General, which,, if you believe there are grounds for it, may be referred to the decision of a Court of Law,-1 have, &c., &c.,\n\nW. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nA. R. Hudson, Esq.\n\n(Signed)\n\nNo. 3.\n\nHongkong, 22nd September, 1856.\n\nThe Honble. W. T. Mercer, Esq., Colonial Secretary.\n\nSIR, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 681 of this day's date, in which His Excellency refers me for redress for injuries I have suffered to the decision of a Court of Law-that is to say, His Excellency first passes a law confiscating my lawful property, and legalizing that confiscation, and then tells me to appeal to a local Court, in which he knows that all redress is for the present impossible.\n\nI decline to prosecute His Excellency's Surveyor General, but I pledge myself, failing full compensation and redress at the hands of the Imperial Government, to prosecute His Excellency himself at the bar of the British Parliament. I have, &c., &c.,\n\nA. HUDSON,\n\n(Copy.) No. 4.\n\nHongkong, 25th September, 1856.\n\nSIR,Towards completing my correspondence with the local Government, and before addressing myself to the Imperial, I am advised that it is necessary for me to make the following proposition, and which I request accordingly may be submitted to His Excellency Governor Bowring.\n\nI claim at His Excellency's hands the sum of Two thousand dollars as compensation to me for damages accruing from the operation of a new Law which he brought suddenly upon me on the 16th of April last, the specifications and requirements of which I could not possibly have anticipated when I commenced my works prior to its promulgation.\n\nIf His Excellency thinks proper to entertain this claim, and holds me fairly entitled to reimbursement out of the Colonial Chest, I am prepared to authenticate the actual amount of the loss and damages sustained by me, and to accept that amount in adjustment of my claim.\n\nHowever, holding, as I do, that the outrage committed in this case, is one affecting not merely myself as an individual, but in my person every faithful subject of the British Crown in this colony, no settlement of my claim by His Excellency here shall operate as a compromise of the duty thus thrust upon me, to my infinite reluctance, namely, to lay bare this outrage before Her Majesty's Government, and if necessary before a higher tribunal.—I have, &c., &c.\n\nThe Hon. The Colonial Secretary.\n\n(Copy.) No. 693.\n\nA. HUDSON.\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 25th September, 1856.\n\nSIR, I have the honor to acknowledge your letter No. 5 (4) of this date, and am directed to reply that the proposition therein contained cannot, as must be plain to yourself, be entertained by His Excellency The Governor.I have, &c., &c.,\n\nW.

No. 5.\n\nHongkong, 26th September, 1856.\n\nSIR, I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter No. 693 of yesterday's date, in which His Excellency declines to entertain my claim for compensation for my property in this colony, which he recently caused to be destroyed.

Some say the water falls very slightly after a continuance of north wind.\n\nThey said that in 21 days they should commence wearing warm clothes. The soldiers were said to have come from “Yim-ping-foo.\"\n\nAugust 4th.--Moved down to the mouths of the Poo-ho,\" which is a short shallow river, which winds from the S.W. It is not navigable. Junks unload about 3-mile from the bar, and this spot is protected by an earthen fort of no great size.\n\nOn our arrival, we saw that the guns were manned. There might have been 6 or 7, from the number of sponge-heads I saw over the parapet. Troops also turned out and formed, just behind some hills. Some cavalry came down when we landed; amongst them a colonel, who, they said, came from a camp 50 le off.\n\nLanding at another spot, we saw a camp, distant about 2 miles from the landing place. There is evidently a road from this place; and as this river and the Yang-ho\" are both so small as to admit of only a few junks unloading at the same time, they are possibly both used to supply the same district; and it is, therefore, likely that a road leads from the \"Poo-ho\" to the road by which the corn from the \"Yang-ho\" is carried to the great road, and that this road passes by the forts mentioned as being near the latter river.\n\nBetween these rivers sandhills exist along the shore, about 30 feet high, and running back into the country for about a mile, Within them the country is flat.\n\nA range of hills, which run N.E. and S.W., terminates S. of the river's mouth, at a distance of about 7 miles. The country up to them being flat, cultivated, and with rows of trees, and some villages.\n\nThere is said to be a town called \"Yun-ping-foo,\" about 150 le N. of this and the other side of the mountains,\n\nAugust 7th. The horizon being always so distorted here, we landed to take the altitude with artificial horizon.\n\nSketched the country S. of the mouth of the \"Poo-ho.\" The same sand-hills run parallel to the coast, also the \"Poo-ho,\" which receives its water apparently from a vast extent of flat and swampy ground. The country here is so flat that it is possible it may to a considerable extent be affected by the tide, either by being actually flooded or by the river which drains it having its course dammed up by the tide.\n\n9th.-Landed some miles farther to the south. There is here a large flat, which is covered, at very high tide, to an extent of 4 miles inland. It is composed of sand and mud. At one spot, near where the tide enters, to get over the flat, boats unload. Horses are sent down here to graze.\n\nWe were accosted by a Mandarin. We got the following information from a soldier:-\n\nNot many miles to the S. of this spot, a considerable river runs into the sea, which, a short distance above its mouth, receives the waters of the \"Chin-lung-ho,\" and \"Lan-ho\" and is then called the \"Laon-moo-kaon.\" The town of \"Yun-ping-foo\" is on the \"Chin-lung-ho,\" distant from the mouth 150 le.\n\nThe city is described as having 4 gates. It is of considerable size, but not very large. The great road runs within 1 le of the south gate, and the \"Chin-lung-ho\" outside the west gate, and close to the walls. The river here is said to have an embankment.\n\n\"Yun-ping-foo\" is distant from Pekin 490 le, and from the Great Wall 190 le.\n\nGoing along the road from \"Yun-ping-foo\" to Pekin, you pass the following places:-\n\nTung-jen-lisien\n\nChechou\n\nSan-ho\n\nTung-chaon\n\nLe.\n\n160\n\n80\n\nThe great road is partly sandy and partly stony. It passes near woods or groves of trees, but does not go through any. There is a great deal of traffic on the road (so much so as to prevent there being any game near it). There are no large cities or important places on the road.\n\nGoing from \"Yun-ping-foo\" to \"Tien-tsin” you pass-\n\nYun-ping-foo\"\n\nTung-tai (apparently a fair)\n\nPang-uhr-chwang (a halting place for travellers)\n\nTec-tao\n\nTien-tsin\n\nLe.\n\n220\n\n70\n\n50\n\n23\n\n20\n\n360\n\nWith regard to the climate, they say the autumn commences on the 9th day of 7th Moon (8th August). The wet months are from the 4th to 8th, but the rains are not continuous. The snow and ice months are 11, 12, 1, and 2, The coast is frozen in these months more or less.\n\nPage 358\n\nPage 359\n\nPage 360\n\nPage 361", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 250214, "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": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "page_number": 364, "title": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "content_text": "Northern fort.\n\nCountry poor.\n\n\"Sha-lin-tien\" banks.\n\nCountry not suitable for an expedition between \"Ching-ho\" and \"Peh-tang-ho.\"\n\n20\n\nthe defences not be increased, it would, I think, be easy to destroy their works from the river.\n\nThe fort on the east bank is composed of one mound with 3 embrasures, with a curtain on either side—that on the left having 3 embrasures, and that on the right having 5. The portion containing the two right guns is thrown back so as to direct their fire on the left of the southern fort. No guns were mounted on the mounds, and the lower shutters were shut. The forts did not appear to be manned.\n\nIt is requested that in any further communication on this subject, the Number and Date of this Letter may be quoted; and that the communication may be addressed to \"STORES.\"\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nWar Office, Pall Mall, S.W.\n\nNo.\n\nupon the\n\nDoug Hous\n\nSeptember 5th.—Proceeded in a N.E. direction until we closed \"Sha-lin-tien\" banks. Landed at a very poor village, being attracted by two batteries which, through the mirage, looked imposing, but were very insignificant. The country is flat and desert; utterly unprofitable in every way. People poor, living only on fish; they have to go 12 miles to get fresh water to drink.\n\nNoticed the construction of these batteries, which is probably that of the more complete ones. The foundation was of large stones and piles up to above high-water level, and the mounds of earth rammed with a layer of coarse reeds at about every 2 feet. It appears to form a solid compact mass.\n\nThe \"Sha-lin-tien\" Bank, which is well known, extends to a great distance into the sea; but we ascertained that there is not any good channel between it and the mainland. Junks pass through in considerable numbers to fish, but the whole space is composed of shoals and banks; many of them dry at low water.\n\nIt is not easy to determine where the mainland commences. The tract of country inside appears to be barren and poor in the extreme.\n\nNorthwards of the \"Peh-tang-ho,\" and southwards of the \"Ching-ho,\" there is no spot that could be of any service to us in any way.\n\nSeptember 7—Sent one of the gun-boats to sound the N. of the \"Sha-lin-tien,\" and went down to \"Che-kaon\" for the same purpose; returned to \"Shah-lin-tien\" the same evening, and sailed for \"Ting-choo-foo,\" having completed the survey.\n\nG\n\n\"Ting-choo-foo.\"\n\n\"Che-foo.\"\n\n8th.

Found that the natives charged as much for bringing it off as would be the cost of condensing. So having laid in flour, sugar, and vegetables, sailed for \"Shanghai.\"\n\nA. C.

Parkes and Loch, with one Sikh sowar and five Frenchmen (one officer and four soldiers), were brought into the English camp.\n\nThe Chinese declare that these are all of the prisoners who were in Pekin, the rest having been conveyed some distance into the interior; they have, however, been sent for, and will be given up in the course of a few days.\n\nMessrs. Parkes and Loch have given the following account of their capture:--\n\n'When Captain Brabazon and Mr. Loch left the army on the 18th of September to recall Mr. Parkes' party, they proceeded at once to Lang-chau, where they experienced a short delay in collecting them all together, and then set out to return. On arriving within a few hundred yards of the centre of the Chinese position, where they had left Colonel Walker, they heard firing commence, and immediately their passage was barred by a large body of cavalry and infantry, the commander of whom informed them that, as firing had begun, he could not permit them to pass without Sang-ko-lin-sin's orders. Considering that it would be almost impossible to cut their way through the large bodies which surrounded them, they decided on trusting to the flag of truce which they carried.\n\nAccordingly Messrs. Parkes and Loch, accompanied by one Sikh orderly with a white flag, quitted the rest of the party to go and speak with Sang-ko-lin-sin; while there they were surrounded and made prisoners, by order of Sang-ko-lin-sin himself, and sent into Pekin, where for several days they were treated with great severity. On the 29th of September they were removed from the gaol, and have been since treated in a proper manner.\n\nThe rest of the party they know nothing of, beyond having heard Sang-ko-lin-sin, at the time of their capture, order the remainder to be seized also and sent back to Tungchow.\n\nThe five Frenchmen given up were taken prisoners in Tungchow while walking about the street, and ignorant of what was going on.\n\nThe loss of the Emperor's Palace appears to have had a great effect on the Chinese authorities, who appear to be now willing to accede to our demands, to which we have added only the giving up one of the gates of Pekin into our hands while we remain here, in return for which the city will be preserved for them.\n\nThe heavy guns will arrive from Tungchow to-day, so that the Chinese will see that we are prepared to enforce our demands in the event of their deceiving us.\n\nThe Right Honourable\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. HOPE GRANT, Lieut.-Gen.,\n\nThe Secretary of State for War,\n\nunderstood them, I wrote the note enclosed, and, his clerks having copied it in duplicate, I returned to head quarters.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\nTHOMAS WADE, Chinese Secretary.\n\nHis Excellency Sir Hope Grant, K.C.B., &c.\n\nNOTE ADDRESSED TO HANG-KI, a Deputy of the Imperial Commissioner the Prince of Kung, and handed to that Officer on the Evening of the 7th of October.\n\nTHE undersigned has the honour to state that he has been sent here (to the Hwa-ying-szo) by the Commanders-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.\n\nTheir Excellencies have been given to understand, by their Excellencies the Ambassadors of their respective nations, that his Imperial Highness the Prince of Kung, Imperial Commissioner, has officially informed their Excellencies that there is nothing to which he does not assent, either in the treaties concluded the year before last, or in the conventions negotiated this year at Tien-tsin.\n\nThe Commanders-in-Chief have consequently no remark to offer regarding the treaties, but unless the Chinese Government immediately send in to their respective camps the officers and subjects of the two Powers still in its hands, their Excellencies will cause the capital city of Pekin to be stormed, in order to show to those who break faith and do injury to others that sooner or later their offence will be punished.\n\nIf, on the other hand, the Chinese Government send back those now in its hands without delay, and at the same time depute a competent officer to prepare the conventions and other documents, their Excellencies the Allied Ambassadors will name a day for the signature of the conventions, the exchange of ratifications, and similar formalities.\n\nLate events, however, considered, it will not be proper that faith should be placed at random in the Chinese Government or its people. It becomes expedient to take measures of precaution beforehand against evil that may be done. Before, therefore, their Excellencies enter Pekin, a gate of the capital will have to be occupied by an escort detached from both armies. The Commanders-in-Chief will decide which of the gates, and the Chinese troops will be then required to fall back for the time being from the gate their Excellencies choose to hold.\n\nThis effected, if the officers and people of the capital remain quiet without giving trouble, as in the case of Tientsin and Tungchow, the Allied Forces will conduct themselves towards them as they have done towards the officers and people of those two cities.\n\nTHOMAS WADE, Chinese Secretary.\n\nCommander of the Forces,\n\nSIR,\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\nCamp, outside Teh-Sheng Gate, Oct. 8.\n\n'SIR,\n\nI HAVE the honour to state that I went yesterday evening, at five o'clock, to a temple outside the Teh-Sheng gate, to meet Hang-ki, the deputy of the Prince of Kung, and that I communicated to him in the enclosed note the decision at which I had been instructed to say your Excellency and General de Montauban had arrived.\n\nBeyond the rendition of our prisoners, which, as your Excellency was already aware, the Prince of Kung had signified in correspondence should take place on the 8th inst., Hang-ki could speak authoritatively upon nothing. He hoped to hear from the Prince by 4 o'clock on the 8th, at which hour the \"detenus\" should be surrendered \"with honour.\"\n\nAfter fully explaining to him the views of the allied Commanders-in-Chief, as I understood them, I wrote the note enclosed, and, his clerks having copied it in duplicate, I returned to head quarters.\n\nDESPATCH from Sir J. HOPE GRANT to Mr. Secretary HERBERT.\n\nHead-Quarters, October 13. In continuation of my Despatch of the 9th inst., I have the honour to inform you that, on the 10th, I made a reconnaissance of the walls of Pekin with General de Montauban.\n\nHaving selected the sites for the breaching batteries, the works were immediately traced and constructed, and the batteries were armed, so as to be ready to open fire at noon to-day, in the event of the gate not being then surrendered to us.\n\nThis morning I sent some officers with Mr. Parkes to arrange with the Chinese deputies for the surrender of the gate of the city, which we had demanded of them. They endeavoured to make excuses, and delay, if possible, the surrender on various false pretences; but were told in reply that 12 o'clock was the hour that had been fixed, and no extension could be granted.\n\nAccordingly the easternmost gate on the north side of the city has been this day occupied by the Allied Forces without opposition, and a letter having been received from the Prince of Kung, announcing the readiness of the Chinese Government to agree to all our terms, I have every reason to hope to be able shortly to announce that the campaign is at an end and peace concluded.\n\nPage 407", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 257329, "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": "CO129-094 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1863 [11-10]", "page_number": 265, "title": "CO129-094 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1863 [11-10]", "content_text": "261\n\nI have found that\n\nmy orders\n\nare not strictly carried out by the subordinate officers, I now\n\nprove that I have not taken all\n\nthe\n\nmeans in my power to see\n\nthat\n\nmy\n\norders\n\nwere carried out.\n\nNavvies\n\n \n 1\n Burn a boy\n 2\n Lew\n \n \n 3\n Worry\n \n \n \n \n 4\n Tong from sing\n \n \n \n \n 5\n Jamra bin\n \n \n \n \n 6\n Choong a how\n \n \n \n \n 6\n Cheung a how\n \n \n \n \n 6\n Wong a boy\n 10\n Wod akum\n \n \n 11\n Poon ayut\n 12\n Lee Joch\n \n\n \n \n Age\n Height\n \n \n \n \n ft. in.\n \n \n 4\n 25\n 5\n 2\n \n \n 22\n J\n \n \n \n \n 19\n 5\n \n \n \n \n 26\n \n \n \n \n \n 30\n \n \n \n \n \n 23\n \n \n \n \n \n 35\n \n \n \n \n \n 2.3\n 5\n \n \n \n \n 25\n \n \n \n \n \n 72\n Sarany\n \n \n \n\n \n Crime\n \n \n \n \n Sameny\n board.

The American and Dutch Ministers having returned before, the corps diplomatique usually resident in Yedo was made once more complete by the arrival of M. Leon Roches from Nagasaki in the **Quarriere** on the 7th inst. It has since received an addition in the person of M. le Comte de la Tour, who arrived in the French mail on the 9th inst. to represent in Japan the Kingdom of Italy; and by the same opportunity M. 'Kint de Roodenbeck, Minister for Belgium, returned from a lengthened tour in China. We hear that Mr. Eugene van Reed, an American gentleman who has resided here since the ports were first opened, is on the point of concluding a treaty with the Shiogoon for the Sandwich Islands, and Sweden will also soon be represented. The advantage accruing to either party to several of these newly formed alliances are not, at present, apparent, but no one can tell what the future may bring forth.\n\n[Aug. 13, 1867.\n\nIt was remarkable as to be an absolute wonder: it would be most beneficial for the trade if it were not, on the return of the ship and cargo to Shanghai, regrettable were its progress now to be checked by a refusal to permit its discharge. \"It was not allowed to import cargoes from the North here; those cargoes could not be sold here, but must be sent away,\" was the reply received at an application on the subject to the Taotai's office; and here the matter rested; for more than eighteen months the northern trade has been closed to foreign shipping, no vessel except the two in question having been chartered since August, 1865. The occasion of Sir Rutherford Alcock's visit has been taken by the Chamber of Commerce to address a letter to him on the subject; but their action had been anticipated by his Excellency, who had addressed the Governor-General of Nanking on the subject a few days previously. Tsen-kwo-fan's reply reiterates the false assertion of the Tsotai, that no prohibition against the employment of foreign vessels in the bean trade exists. He refers to the proclamation issued last year by the Taotai as a proof that no official interference has been exerted, and says H.M.'s Consul acknowledged that the behaviour of Chinese officials in the matter called for general gratitude. And now another proclamation has been issued, which has, we are glad to learn, had the effect of encouraging Chinese merchants to charter a whole fleet of vessels from hence to the northern ports and back. As, judging from previous experience, they have doubtless not done this without ascertaining the Taotai's real intention on the subject, we may hope that the permission now accorded is genuine.\n\n## CHINA. SHANGHAI.\n\nDates from this port are to the 23rd June, two days later. The outward mail of May 10 was delivered on the 22nd June, with London telegrams to May 30. The following few items of news are from the **North China Herald**:\n\nThe body of the second officer of the ship **Lennox Castle**, who had been missing for a fortnight, was found on the 17th June in the river. It is supposed that he was drowned on the 2nd June, as he left the ship about six p.m. on that day and nothing had been heard of him since. A court of inquiry was held to endeavour to ascertain the circumstances under which he met his death, but failed.\n\nFurther correspondence regarding the new rules proposed by the Silk Guild has passed between the Chamber of Commerce, the foreign officials, and the Taotai; also further voluminous correspondence regarding the employment of foreign vessels in the bean trade. The Taotai's late proclamation on the latter subject has, we are glad to learn, encouraged the charter of a number of vessels, and demand still continues. It remains to be seen whether the permission accorded is, this time, **bonâ fide**; or whether, on their return to Shanghai with cargoes, permission to land the cargoes will be again refused.\n\nThe negotiations that have taken place during the last two years regarding the employment of foreign ships in the bean trade disclose an amount of duplicity on the part of the Chinese authorities as disgraceful as it was unwise. So long ago as March, 1862, official intimation was given that the prohibition laid on the export of pulse and bean cake from the ports of Chefoo and Newchwang under the British flag had been rescinded, and a remunerative trade to foreign shipping was opened up. Two years later, when the danger which had induced the concession had passed away, and foreign assistance was no longer needed to prevent the Taiping occupation of Shanghai, the privilege accorded was secretly withdrawn. No open warning was given of the change, but, in June, 1865, vessels arriving here with beancake from the North found themselves prohibited from discharging their cargoes; and shortly afterwards, on the 3rd of August, a formal notice was issued that all shippers in foreign bottoms would subject themselves to this penalty.\n\nA disturbance took place at the Canton Theatre in the Maloo in consequence of three foreigners entering the theatre and some Chinese attendants, but not understanding them they sat still. The audience then commenced leaving the theatre, throwing cups, &c., but there do not appear to have been any severe injuries received by anyone.\n\nAn account is given of the formal opening of the new Racquet Court on the 19th June. The building quite comes up to, if it does not exceed expectation, and comprises every comfort and convenience for players. It has been erected at a total cost, including the purchase of land, of about 13,000 taels.\n\nA meeting for the discussion of missionary topics was to be held at the rooms of the Asiatic Society on the 24th June, which it was hoped would be the first of a series.\n\nTwenty-three mows of land near Messrs. Gibb Livingston's wharf, having 300 feet water frontage, have been sold at auction for 17 taels per mow.\n\nIt has been resolved to erect the following lights at or near the entrance to the mouth of the Yangtze:\n| Light | Type | Elevation | Visibility |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| North Saddle Island | Revolving Light of the first order | 250 feet | |\n| Gutzlaff Island | Fixed White Light | 210 feet | 15 miles over the Northern half, and 20 miles over the Southern half of the horizon |\n| Tung-sha Bank | Revolving Red Light | 38 feet | 12 miles all round the horizon |\n| Kintoan Beacon | Fixed Light, with short eclipses | | 12 miles, obscured on the land side |\n\nEventually, at the request of several native consignees, permission was granted for discharge of vessels that had been chartered previous to the date of the prohibition, but an intimation was renewed that none chartered subsequently would be allowed to land their cargo. Shanghai was the only port at which this prohibition was enforced, so it would appear that the local Government and not that at Peking is at fault. Vessels have continued to run from Chefoo and Newchwang to the southern ports without let or hindrance.\n\nThe thanks of firms interested in the shipping trade are due to Messrs. Tilby and Co. for the persistence with which they brought these facts to the notice of H.M. Consul, and urged the address of energetic remonstrance both to the local authority and to Peking, while others abandoned the cause in despair. On the 15th June, 1866, the public notification by the Taotai, for which they pressed—that natives as well as foreigners were at liberty to employ foreign vessels in the trade—was at length obtained. The Taotai denied all interference on the part of himself or his subordinates, and officially proclaimed that \"the conveyance had been authorised of pulse and beancake in foreign vessels from Newchwang and Tongchow.\" \n\nWe are indebted to the **Shanghai Recorder** for the following:\n\"A Chinese official recently arrived from Nanking expresses his doubts as to the possibility of ever terminating the Nienfei troubles. This, he says, is a different affair to the Taiping rebellion, in which the opposition was greater, but it was at least concentrated, and the Government knew where to go and oppose the insurgents. But with the Nienfei it is hopeless. So soon as a force is brought against them, they disperse and are off to the mountains; while no sooner are the Imperial troops removed than they are back again. The same person expresses his doubts as to the reported successes of Li in the North, adding that these victories are always egregiously exaggerated.\"\n\nWe regret to hear that the S.S. **N. Company's** new steamship **Mancha**, which left Shanghai for Tientsin on the 16th June, had the misfortune to strike on a rock off the Shantung promontory, and was compelled to return as fast as steam could bring her.\n\nWe are glad to hear (says the **Friend of China**) that Mr Chaloner Alabaster, whose decoration of the Star of China we noticed before, is likely to receive a more substantial **douceur** in the shape of a thousand dollars from his Excellency the Taotai, this being offered for his services in establishing and carrying out so economically the institution known as the Mixed Court, the sum to be paid from the Court's fee chest, provided his Excellency the British Minister does not say nay. All we say is we most cordially wish he may get it!\n\n## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nIt is stated that the firm of Mackellar and Co., of Hankow, is in difficulties.\n\nThe following little story, given by the **North China Herald**, is curiously illustrative of Chinese social life, and though bearing the appearance of a romance is nevertheless perfectly true:\nAbout thirteen or fourteen months ago, the mother of a young lady residing outside the north gate of Shanghai city discovered that her daughter was enceinte, and that this condition had been brought about by the trusted nurse of the family having been in the habit of trading on the daughter's charms, making some excuse to the mother of a visit to a neighbour to account for the occasional absence of the frail one from the parental cottage. The mother, on making the above-mentioned discovery, was so incensed that she induced some of her male relatives to beat the nurse to death with bamboos. The friends of the nurse thereupon took legal opinion on the case, which resulted in a petition being presented to the Shanghai Hsien, who (with that love of justice, we presume, which so eminently characterises a Chinaman) caused inquiries to be made into the matter, and bringing home the murder to the mother as the instigator of the crime, condemned her to death. But the mother being far gone with child, the sentence was allowed to stand over till the child should have been born and weaned, and this latter circumstance having taken place the other day, the sentence was carried out, the mother being strangled outside the south gate. A cord was placed round the unfortunate woman's neck and gradually tightened till strangulation was nearly effected, when the cord was loosened and breath allowed to re-enter the lungs; this refinement of torture was repeated, and it was only on the cord being tightened the third time that the woman was allowed to die.\n\nOn the 24th June, Cheong-po-sun, convicted of the murder of a clothseller in Tank-lane, and three of the four pirates convicted at the May Sessions for piracy and murder on the high seas, were executed at the usual place in front of the Gaol. The scene was probably the most exciting of the kind ever witnessed in Hong Kong for many years past. Cheong-sin-fook, Lee-koon-hing, and Wong-asing, the three pirates and murderers, were the exact opposites of Po-sang, their violence being as strongly marked as was the coolness of the other. They made no confession, but endeavoured to mystify the story of the piracy as much as possible, each blaming the other, and all lying in the most barefaced manner conceivable. The only statement in which they could be said to agree, was that the fourth prisoner (he of the alleged medical proclivities) was not an active party in the piracy for which they were sentenced; and upon this additional confirmation, coupled with the lesser weight of evidence against this prisoner, he has been temporarily reprieved by the Governor. Perfect indifference and a species of bravado were maintained by these four piratical murderers until the fatal morning of yesterday; when the three doomed men underwent a remarkable change. Duly yesterday morning two of them wished to fight each other; but this morning their pitiable moanings disturbed the quietude of the entire neighbourhood. While they were being pinioned, they sobbed and groaned incessantly, and on being led out to the Gaol office, where they were led by the Sheriff, they had to be supported by stimulants, which the Tank-lane murderer refused with a shake of the head. Before proceeding to the scaffold, a final attempt was made to draw some confession from the pirates and to clear some doubts arising from the former confession of Po-Sang, but without success. Po-Sang maintained that there were five engaged in the murder of the clothseller; lin-fook stoutly refused to make any admission, and influenced the others also to keep their counsel by his determination. As the bell struck six o'clock, the prisoners were led forth to the scaffold, near which were a number of Europeans, one or two companies of police under Mr. Jarman, and fifty penal servitude convicts ranged on one side of the compound. Cheong-fook had to be pushed up the scaffold ladder by main force; and when all the condemned men had reached the platform, there followed a scene which will not be soon forgotten by those who witnessed it. Po-sang was cool as a statue, with his painfully drawn-up features; but the other three swayed about uneasily, looked behind over the wall as if meditating escape, now noisily resisting the executioner and again moaning and groaning as before. Cheong-fook stamped and danced upon the platform, and cursed and swore at the crowd below, until it was feared some accident might happen to the scaffold, and he had at last to be bound round the ankles with a rope. The voice of the Roman Catholic padre was drowned in the torrent of abuse from the scaffold; and it need hardly be said that the exhortations of the ministers of religion seemed to have not the slightest effect upon any one of the doomed men, except perhaps Po-sang, who now and then during the morning had listened to what was said to him. At five minutes past six, at a signal from the Sheriff, the bolt was withdrawn, the fatal jerk given, and the miserable victims were left dangling in the air. Death must have been instantaneous, although the bodies quivered for some minutes afterwards. All three pirates were strong, powerfully built fellows, and would no doubt have given very great trouble had not the necessary precautions been taken in gaol and on the scaffold. With the exception of the objectionable fact that the stone parapet and the lower bar of the scaffold again formed a rest for the feet of two of the prisoners, the arrangements were perfect. The scaffold was removed by eight o'clock—an improvement on former occasions, when it was allowed to stand over Sunday.\n\n## FOOCHOW.\n\nDates hence are to June 23. The **Taewan** sailed on the 20th June. She met with a serious misfortune in her passage down the river Min. From Messrs. Gilman and Co.'s Circular of June 22, we learn that she had on board 789,500 lbs. of tea, and that she is on shore on the north bank \"a total wreck.\" One thousand chests have as yet, it is said, been saved. Messrs. Gilman and Co. are Lloyd's agents.\n\nMr. Watters, late H.M.'s acting Vice-Consul at Tamsay, has been transferred to Foochow as third assistant, in place of Mr. Holt, who has been despatched to the former place to take charge of the vice-consulate.\n\n## HONG KONG.\n\nFrom this port we have intelligence to June 29. No later mails or telegrams had arrived out since the date of our last advices. The **Overland China Mail** supplies the following news:\nCheong-po-sun, convicted of the murder of a clothseller in Tank-lane, and three of the four pirates convicted at the May Sessions for piracy and murder on the high seas, were, on the 24th June, executed at the usual place in front of the Gaol.\n\nMessrs. Margesson and Co.'s Chinese shroff has been taken in custody on a charge of having embezzled monies to the amount of $420 within the last four months. The compradore of that firm appears as complainant in the case.\n\nWe regret to learn that a fatal accident occurred on board the **Princess Charlotte** while the coronation salute was being fired. One of the guns missed fire, and the firing party passed on to the next gun; the sponger who followed, being unaware that the gun had missed, proceeded to sponge out, when the gun exploded, and blew the poor sponger from the deck.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-128 - Public Offices & Others - 1867.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 277842, "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": "CO129-136 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [1-3]", "page_number": 315, "title": "CO129-136 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [1-3]", "content_text": "310\n\n2nd.--\"That Mr Holmes has been in the Service of the Colony for eleven years, and,\n\n3rd.--That in the course of that Service he has been absent on leave on several occasions, at the dates and for the terms specified below, viz. :-\n\n1st-For ...

E\n\n106,\n\n[Via Brindisi\n\nseason: sellers have enlarged to meet the off-take freely, and prices show a tendency to quote lower on off-shore basis but buyers generally are cautious and show symptoms of increasing when the \"Poonah\" holidays are over in a few days. The classes in chief request are Grey staples, and lately Malwa Shirtings, Jernings and Mulls have an increased inquiry. The light and heaviest classes of goods have, up to date, sold only slowly for the season and there is, comparatively speaking, no inquiry for many desirable tinted and Colored lots are out of stock, but retail sales of the latter like place from day to day for the Upper Provinces. All Tar is dull with a downward tendency: dealers having dated business in expectation of there being over shipments lately. The Arrivals in prices of cotton radiotectores on the Bombay side, in the too sluggish selling market for Raw Cotton, have given considerable support to importers being cautious and the moderate shipments reported at Madras also exercised a beneficial influence. Piece goods took their hand, however, presented more in value, and it is thought that it will require a continuance of the gay season's off-take for another fortnight before any good or Bartlett sheet is produced on the market. The liberal allowances to the interior the last three weeks do not appear to have stimulated to any extent in dealers' zagrla, and favorable inferences are being drawn from the fact that the retail enquiry is on the most extensive; but it grumbles stocks in first hands are lessened unusually, prices will probably recover very slowly as of late, and any heavy purchases Press the holders she, at the comparatively high prices ruling there, and on the late better market bars, are not unlikely to come in disappointingly.\n\nExports--Barity of Tonnage has interfered greatly with our export trade since last issue. Linseeds have experienced great fall lately, and the talones is still lower, as the news of very abundant crop seems to have in great measure checked home and foreign Rates, and late advices from there are very discouraging. Piece sales of medium Linwood Baggere are going on at 11a. 4-3 for 4 per cent of day and June delivery vitriol, price establishes a fall of 2 as per maand with a fortnight agreed--There is nothing doing for export; prices, however, are cash in a bank. Poppy--There is usually mind. Naports dem the interho are very satisfactory for the season --Telia -way Ettle doing and prinse my casier. Rice--The quality of late arrivals of Wudle is inferior, and the demand for ustida has been off. There is only a small inquiry for rough-rice and low Falls for Fondos at rather easier prices. In Yellow wrtz there is a fair business doing for the country itada. Arte--London stricte are very discouraging, and prices have undergone again a further selling.

As showing the force of the gale it may be interesting to note that the smallest twigs were broken off almost as sharply as if cut by a knife. The new Catholic Church at the Nollah is the saddest loss in the way of property which has to be recorded. It is simply a ruin—with the exception of the Chancel, where the altar stands alone amidst a mass of stones, stained glass, broken benches and the wreck of the organ, with the pipes of which little children were playing. The principal portion of the roof was blown off one block of the Murray Barracks, but the other barracks have escaped with comparative impunity. The Cathedral seems to be almost uninjured. The North East corner of the City Hall was much damaged, and it is stated that some of the volumes and newspaper in the library have been injured. The porchway has been completely blown down—and the magnificent tree at the West side has fallen. The clock in the tower has been seriously injured, the dial facing the harbour being smashed completely in. The clock had stopped at 2.35, about the time when the gale was at its highest. The Catholic Cathedral in Wellington Street has escaped with very slight injury. The Police Station has been completely unroofed, and the roof has been in part taken off the Civil Hospital. The gas pipes have been so much damaged that it was impossible to light the town last night. The local Telegraph was blown down in all directions, and communication of course suspended.\n\n## THE PEAK-GAP, ETC.\n\nThe damage done to the buildings on the heights has been very extensive. The Governor's bungalow has been completely unroofed, with the exception of one room. H.E. the Governor and some ladies and gentlemen were at the Peak at the time and must have had a terrible night. H.E. came down yesterday morning after the storm had abated. The new Sanitarium at the Gap has been completely blown down. A gentleman with his wife and children were staying there, contrary to a warning given to them and had to pass three hours under the shelter of a rock. The flagstaff has been blown off the square. The wind both at the Peak and the Gap was something terrific, and exceeds anything which has been known there before. The Governor's bungalow was purposely built in the strongest possible manner, and was considered to be proof against any typhoon that could occur.\n\n## ABERDEEN, ETC.\n\nAt Aberdeen the Pacific Mail steamer `Alaska`, has gone ashore, and it is said there is little hope of floating her again. The force of the wind was so great that although they got out all the largest hawsers, it was impossible to keep her lashed. We regret also to learn that her launch capsized and caused the death of two men. The scene among the junks and on shore is described as terrific. Large numbers got adrift and many of them went down in a short time. At Pokfulum, the bungalows belonging to Messrs. Forbes and Deacon have entirely disappeared—and the boys who were in charge of them have not since been heard of.\n\n## THE CANTON BOATS.\n\nThe steamer `Powan`, the night boat of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Company, arrived yesterday at about 4 p.m. She started from Canton at the usual hour with 1,400 passengers on board and at the time felt no indications of bad weather; but met the storm when near Lin Tin. Here she anchored to wait out the brunt of it, when a high wave smashed in about fifty feet of the hull. Captain Benning sent about 700 of the passengers below and took precautions for the safety of the others, which were fortunately successful. The `Hang Yang`, which left about the same time, arrived at half-past five o'clock.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 297280, "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": "CO129-172 - Public Offices & Others - 1875", "page_number": 378, "title": "CO129-172 - Public Offices & Others - 1875", "content_text": "## Step 1: Understand the task\nThe task is to proofread OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, and indicating missing words without rephrasing or rewriting the original text.\n\n## Step 2: Identify the input text\nThe input text appears to be a historical document, specifically a treaty between France and Annam (now part of Vietnam), dated 1874, discussing trade and commerce regulations.\n\n## Step 3: Analyze the input text for errors and formatting\nThe text contains numerous OCR errors, including misspellings, incorrect spacing, and broken sentences.

Tout compte fait, peu de variations. Le rapport de l'encaisse au passif à vue est à 61,04 0/0 an Tien de 60.53 0/0 il y a huit jours.

Si on avait agi ainsi en France en 1848, la province ne subirait pas aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'opérations, le joug si pesant de Paris pour être édifié à cet égard, qu'à se rappeler le régime des succursales de la Banque de France et le comparer àt celui des comptoirs de la Banque nationale belge qui an moins a eu le bon esprit d'introduire les principes de self government dans ses règlements avec ces derniers (Voir Economiste Français da 29 janvier 1876, page 154). Mais avec la liberté telle qu'elle existe en Suisse, on est plus sûr d'atteindre ce résultat sans coup férir. En Belgique, une loi, bien qu'improbable comme vote, pourrait faire perdre tout le progrès conquis; en Suisse if est plus assuré. \n\nIl ne sera pas sans utilité de comparer la situation des principaux éléments de la richesse publique et du crédit de l'Etat, à une même époque, pour les cinq dernières années. \n\npen. 3 DEC. 2 pc. 1873 1874- 1875 \n\n30 sov. 1876 \n\nmillions. millions. millions. millions. millions. \n\n2.883.8 2.385.3 2.635.0 \n\n2.617.2 2.400.4 \n\n3.168.4 323.5 \n\nDATES \n\ndes \n\nBILANS \n\nENCAISSE \n\nMÉTALLIQUE \n\n| BILLETS EN CAISSE \n\ndes diverses banques \n\nET DU YWESOR \n\n| PORTEFEUILLE \n\nCOMMERCIAL \n\nAVANCES SER TITRES \n\nBILLEYSIG \n\nEN CIRCULATION \n\nDÉPOTS A VUE \n\nDEPOTS A TERME \n\nDONNIE \n\nRAPPORT \n\nde l'encaisse au pass \n\nMILLIONS DE \n\n7542.1 \n\n55.9379.21 \n\n58.8 360.5 38.8 351.6 60.5 951.4 \n\n58.21 361.8i \n\n59.7 337.81 57.8 869.2) \n\n57.2 397.0 \n\n54.0 456.9) \n\nREICHSMARK. \n\n48.9 665.6 155,01 75.8 47.8 659.8.109.8 74.33 44.9 650.8 177.9 78.5) 45.9 659.4.189.0 71.3 46.3 668.9'191.6) 70.6) 45.8671.8.185.0 69.7 45.9 709.6.168.0 68. 38.0 777.7168. 51.3 765.5 177.8] \n\n.91 473.2) 46.0 732.2 169.9 59.945 \n\n40.

Il est de tradition que, pour que la Banque d'Angleterre songe à recourir à la hausse du taux de l'escompte, il faut que ladite réserve tende a tomber au-dessous du tiers des comples courants du Trésor, des administrations publiques et des particuliers cumulés. \n\nLes Etats-Unis pour la plus forte partie et la Plata pour une somme moindre ont retiré, de là banque d'Angleterre, la majeure partie du million de liv. sterl. dont l'encaissé a baissé depuis huit jours. C'est par les comptes particu- liers et la circulation que ce retrait s'est opéré; il en ré- sulte naturellement une diminution de 771,750 liv. st. de la réserve, diminution qui eût été plus forte si le compte courant des administratious publiques ne s'était pas aceru de 301,451 liv. st. Somme toute, la proportion, de la ré- serve aux comptes courants réunis, est de 53.45 0/0 au Tien de 54.64 0/0 il y a huit jours, celle de l'encaisse au passif à vue de 49.93 0/0 au lieu de 50.66 0/0 la semaine dernière. La Banque d'Angleterre a résisté à la tentation de rehausser le taux de son escompte. C'est courageux de sa part, ear on la conseillait chaudement de le faire. \n\nLes échanges au \"Clearing-House, à Londres, ont roulé, celte semaine, sur 80,812,000 liv.st. contre 199.724,000 liv. st., il y a un an, à pareille époque.

La Bourse est indécise, ne baissant pas, mais ne pouvant so résoudre à la hausse. \n\nEn 1875, les marchés monétaires étrangers sont faciles et les taux d'escompte tendent à se maintenir bas. A Paris, il y a, au contraire, un leger resserrement.

Quoi qu'il en soit, si nous calculons la valeur du rouble de papier d'après le cours antérieur aux derniers événements, nous voyons que le budget russe, pour l'exercice 1875, a présenté un chiffre de recettes de 2,006,000,000 de fr. environ, un chiffre de dépenses de 1,900,000,000 de francs et un excédant de recettes de 105,000,000 de francs.\n\nCette situation est très-favorable, on n'en peut douter. Si l'empire russe conservait la paix, son organisme économique deviendrait chaque jour plus solide; il trouverait largement du crédit au dehors pour tripler son réseau de chemins de fer et le porter, avec le temps, à 55,000 kilomètres; il augmenterait notablement ses ressources agricoles, et sans doute parviendrait à retirer une grande partie de la masse de 2 milliards de billets de crédit ou de papier-monnaie à cours forcé, qui sont une si grande entrave pour les transactions. Mais un vent de guerre a soufflé qui menace d'ébranler et de renverser cet édifice encore singulièrement instable.\n\nSuivant une loi générale, qu'a constatée la science des finances, les recettes du Trésor se sont accrues chaque année dans l'empire russe, comme dans toute nation prospère. Voici quels ont été les recouvrements du fisc depuis 1874.\n\nAnnées\nRecouvrements effectués\n\n1872\n823.0 millions de roubles\n\n1873\n537.9 millions de roubles\n\n1874\n537.7 millions de roubles\n\n1875\n376.4 millions de roubles\n\n1874\n308.1 millions de roubles\n\nLes recettes de l'empire russe augmentent ainsi presque régulièrement de 20 millions de roubles ou de 60 à 70 millions de francs par année.\n\nQuand on décompose ces recettes et qu'on en examine attentivement les éléments, on trouve que, pour être ininterrompue, cette progression a besoin de la paix. Ce sont les grands travaux publics, c'est le développement du commerce et de l'industrie, qui sont les causes de ces plus-values annuelles. Le budget russe a ceci de particulier, que les impôts directs n'y tiennent qu'une faible place, et que, notamment, plus du tiers du revenu public est fourni par le seul impôt sur les boissons. Voici, pour les dernières années, le rendement des principales branches de recettes.\n\n1873 millions de roubles\n1874 millions de roubles\n1875 millions de roubles\n\nPatentes de commerce\n13.5\n13.8\n14.6\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nne pas fatiguer le lecteur. On saisit immédiatement, d'après ce tableau, l'économie du budget des recettes de la Russie. Les impôts directs produisent fort peu: 131 millions de roubles, c'est-à-dire (au cours de 3 f. 50 c.) 450 millions de francs environ. Ils sont de plus stationnaires; dans une année qui ne figure pas au tableau ci-dessus, en 1871, les impôts directs avaient produit davantage : 134 millions et demi de roubles. N'allez pas croire, cependant, que la propriété soit peu chargée en Russie; un écrivain \"fort compétent, qui a beaucoup étudié et qui aime la Russie, explique, dans un intéressant article de la Revue des Deux Mondes, que la terre y est fort grevée : c'est qu'aux impôts perçus pour l'Etat se joignent les annuités pour le rachat par les serfs des terres qui leur ont été allouées sur les anciens domaines des seigneurs; c'est que, en outre, le mode de culture des terres est, en Russie, très-défectueux par suite du communisme agraire qui est la règle habituelle (1).\n\nLes impôts indirects n'ont pas non plus en Russie la même distribution qu'en Occident. On dit souvent qu'en France, les impôts indirects dépassent deux milliards de francs; mais parmi ces impôts réputés indirects figurent des taxes qui ne portent pas sur les objets de consommation: notamment les droits d'enregistrement et de timbre, qui produisent six cents millions de francs. En Russie, presque toutes les taxes indirectes sont des taxes de consommation; une seule, celle sur les boissons, produit 200 millions de roubles, ou nominalement 800 millions de francs, 700 millions de francs au cours de 3 fr. 80 c.\n\nIl serait malaisé de dire si l'Etat doit se réjouir ou s'attrister du développement de la productivité de l'impôt sur les boissons, d'autant plus qu'en Russie ce n'est pas le vin, mais l'alcool qui fournit la presque totalité du revenu de cette taxe. L'ivrognerie est le grand défaut de la population moscovite. On ne peut espérer qu'un subit changement s'opère dans les habitudes des paysans russes et que, par contrainte morale, ils cessent de boire. Mais une grande guerre, avec son accompagnement habituel de misères et de mortalité, ne peut que réduire dans d'assez fortes proportions le produit de toutes ces taxes sur les consommations populaires.\n\nToutefois, ce n'est pas du côté des recettes, c'est du côté des dépenses que l'on peut avoir des alarmes sur la solidité des budgets russes. Il ne serait pas impossible que les recettes ne faiblissent pas dans des proportions considérables; il est probable qu'on aura des difficultés à les augmenter, mais on pourra les maintenir au niveau actuel en introduisant quelques taxes nouvelles et en élevant le taux de quelques taxes anciennes.\n\nLe côté des dépenses est plus sombre.

Plusieurs chapitres de dépenses offrent, en effet, de grandes réductions en 1875, relativement à 1874 : le ministère des finances, par exemple, et celui des voies de communication. Le ministère de la marine est stationnaire, et celui de la guerre n'est pas en grande augmentation. Au contraire, le service de la dette s'accroît, ayant exigé 107 millions de roubles (428 millions de francs nominaux) en 1875, au lieu de 100 millions et demi de roubles en 1873.\n\nOn ne peut dire que les dépenses des ministères de la guerre et de la marine soient exagérées pour un aussi vaste empire et dans la situation actuelle des armements européens. Les 175 millions de roubles du ministère de la guerre n'ont jamais représenté plus de 612 millions de francs (au cours de 3 fr. 50 c.), et les 25 millions de roubles du ministère de la marine équivalaient à peine à 87 millions de francs. C'est donc environ 700 millions de francs, que la Russie dépenserait annuellement pour ses forces militaires. La France consacre aujourd'hui certainement un milliard par an aux mêmes services, si l'on comprend les crédits du compte de liquidation.\n\nLes budgets de la Russie, examinés en eux-mêmes et en tant que budgets de paix, sont donc fort rassurants. Ils le sont d'autant plus que l'amortissement fonctionne avec une certaine énergie. D'après le rapport que nous avons sous les yeux, de 1870 à 1875 inclusivement, on aurait remboursé des titres de la dette pour la somme considérable de 88 millions de roubles, ou 352 millions de francs nominaux. Il est vrai que l'on a contracté en même temps une dette nouvelle, mais les sommes provenant de celle-ci ont été employées à des travaux publics.\n\nOn nous dit aussi que le nombre des billets de crédit, ou du papier-monnaie en circulation, a été notablement réduit. Au 1er janvier 1875, ce papier représentait une somme de 556 millions de roubles (2 milliards 224 millions de francs); au 31 décembre de la même année, il ne s'élevait plus qu'à 516 millions de roubles (2 milliards 64 millions de francs).\n\nLe rapport sur le règlement de compte du budget de 1875 nous montre donc les finances russes sous un jour beaucoup plus favorable que ne le faisaient les documents antérieurs; cela est incontestable. Quelle pourra être l'influence d'une guerre sur cette prospérité naissante? c'est ce que nous rechercherons dans un prochain article.\n\nPAUL LEROY-BEAULIEU,\n\nLA DOUANE DE PARIS. L'octroi de Paris a été étudié l'année dernière dans les colonnes de l'Économiste Français (1). Il semble que le mot d'octroi ne doive éveiller dans l'esprit d'autres idées que des idées fiscales; mais, en y réfléchissant bien, on s'aperçoit que les barrières dressées à l'entrée de nos grandes villes ont un autre résultat que celui de rendre possible la perception de certains impôts de consommation. L'octroi frappe les matières premières de l'industrie, qui voit ainsi surélever le prix de revient de sa fabrication. A ce point de vue, on reconnaît tout d'abord que Paris est semblable à un Etat d'une immense importance par sa richesse et qu'une douane sévère enserre soigneusement. Si on examine encore davantage l'immense ville, on reconnaît qu'elle possède une douane importante constatant son commerce spécial avec l'étranger, commerce qui a ses oscillations pour ainsi dire parallèles à celles du commerce total de la France. Il y a dans cet ensemble de faits un sujet d'études qui peut être intéressant.\n\nLa douane de Paris ne vient qu'au quatrième rang, après le Havre, Marseille et Boulogne: ces trois grands passages des marchandises d'Amérique, d'Angleterre et d'Orient; mais Paris possédant une sorte d'autonomie ne sert guère de transit entre l'étranger et le reste de la France; il absorbe les marchandises ou les transforme.\n\nL'idée de reporter fictivement la frontière à l'intérieur dans certaines villes est excellente, mais surtout en ce qui concerne la ville de Paris, dont le commerce d'exportation est si considérable. On lui a donné l'organisme complet des grands ports de commerce: douane pour la perception des marchandises qui entrent et qui sortent; entrepôt pour celles sur lesquelles on ne veut pas payer immédiatement les droits d'entrée, enfin, admission temporaire. Un premier coup d'œil jeté sur le système douanier parisien indique que l'industrie de la capitale s'exerce avant tout sur les matières les plus précieuses; car si Paris occupe le quatrième rang parmi les douanes au point de vue de l'importance du commerce avec l'étranger, il est à un rang absolument inférieur si on mesure l'importance des villes douanières par les milliers de tonnes transportées. Une grande valeur sous un petit poids, tel est le caractère des importations et des exportations de l'industrie parisienne.\n\nEn ce qui concerne le chiffre total d'échange entre Paris et l'étranger, disons que l'année 1873 a été de 848 millions, dont 342 pour l'importation et 506 pour l'exportation. C'est une somme qui égale à elle seule le commerce extérieur de l'Espagne et du Portugal.\n\nOn recherche volontiers dans le mouvement du commerce extérieur des indices pour juger de la situation économique de la France. Paris, dont les destinées ont toujours reflété celles du pays, doit, par son commerce avec l'extérieur, indiquer quelle est la situation générale. A ce point de vue, deux époques sont utiles à étudier : l'époque des traités de commerce et celle de la guerre étrangère et de la guerre civile qui désolèrent les années 1870 et 1871. Les conséquences économiques de ces divers faits doivent se retrouver en chiffres dans les registres de la douane parisienne. On va donner ici les entrées et les sorties pendant l'année 1839, qui a précédé immédiatement le régime de la liberté commerciale, et pendant les cinq années qui l'ont immédiatement suivi; les calculs sont faits en millions.\n\nImportations\nExportations\n\n1859\n73\n280\n\n1860\n79\n317\n\n1861\n109\n265\n\n1862\n121\n307\n\n1863\n127\n333\n\n1864\n136\n361\n\nOn voit par ces chiffres que Paris a tiré immédiatement bénéfice de l'abaissement des barrières douanières, en augmentant son importation. La catégorie de marchandises qui s'est élevée le plus vite est celle des tissus, qui, d'un peu plus de 2 millions en 1859, est arrivée à 27 millions en 1862. Il est bon de remarquer, au point de vue fiscal, que les recettes de la douane, en ce qui concerne l'importation, n'ont point été affectées par l'abaissement des droits perçus, qui, de 18 millions en 1859, sont arrivés à 24 en 1864. Mais l'exportation s'est comportée d'une tout autre manière, ainsi qu'on peut le voir par les chiffres ci-dessus.\n\nAprès un certain élan en 1860, elle est descendue en 1861 au-dessous de son niveau primitif, pour reprendre, il est vrai, l'année suivante, un mouvement ascendant comme l'importation. Il n'est pas inutile de chercher la cause de cette diminution. Elle se trouve surtout dans la catégorie tissus, passementerie, rubans de soie, qui, de 72 millions en 1859, tombe à 53 millions en 1861. Si on examine le compte spécial des Etats-Unis, on reconnaît que le chapitre tissus, passementeries et rubans de soie...\n\n719", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 299498, "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": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "page_number": 335, "title": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "content_text": "330 : 726 L'ECONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\nne sont reconnues nulle part; mais on pourra retrouver toute la série en profondeur, rien ne venant prouver jusqu'à ce jour qu'elle n'est pas complète sur la concession de Marles.\n\nMaisons d'ouvriers, La compagnie des mines de Marles occupe actuellement 1,280 personnes au fond et 430 au jour, tant ouvriers qu'employés. Elle possède 315 maisons, habitées par 875 ouvriers de toutes catégories, c'est-à-dire plus de la moitié du personnel employé. Pour recruter le nouveau personnel qui lui sera nécessaire lorsque les trois sièges complets seront en pleine activité, la compagnie devra encore construire d'ici à trois ans 400 à 480 maisons, soit un total de 915 à 963. L'établissement des nouveaux sièges d'extraction prévus ne fera qu'augmenter ce nombre. Comme toutes les compagnies des mines du Pas-de-Calais, celle de Marles a fondé une caisse de secours et installé des écoles à Marles et à Auchel pour l'instruction de sa population ouvrière.\n\nChemins de fer. La compagnie de Marles possède 14,500 environ de voies ferrées, reliant ses différents sièges d'extraction et l'ancienne fosse de Marles avec la gare de Chocques, située sur la ligne des houillères, et la gare de Lapugnoy, sur la ligne de Béthune à Saint-Pol. Cette dernière ligne, récemment mise en activité, traverse toute la région sud-est de la concession, dans laquelle la compagnie doit établir plus tard un ou deux puits, en se rapprochant des confins de la concession de Bruay. Le nouvel embranchement du n° 5 est fait en rails d'acier Bessemer; on en fera la substitution peu à peu sur le restant de l'ancienne ligne. La majeure partie des charbons de Marles s'expédie par chemin de fer. On en débite 230 à 300,000 hectolitres sur les carreaux des fosses et au dépôt de Chocques. Jusqu'à présent, les expéditions par bateau ont été très-peu importantes au petit rivage que la compagnie possède à Béthune et où les transports doivent encore se faire par voiture. Cette question de rivage n'a pas encore reçu de solution définitive, et la compagnie espère même par l'établissement de son port sec au n° 3 d'Auchel, et avec les débouchés que lui créent les voies ferrées nouvelles, n'avoir pas besoin de faire les frais d'une telle installation toujours très-coûteuse, ou de n'y recourir qu'à une époque encore assez éloignée.\n\nF. LAUR, Ingénieur civil des mines.\n\nL'INSTRUCTION PUBLIQUE EN ALSACE-LORRAINE (1).\n\nL'UNIVERSITÉ DE STRASBOURG,\n\nSi nous avons à nous plaindre beaucoup de la situation actuelle de l'enseignement primaire et secondaire, l'organisation de l'enseignement supérieur en Alsace-Lorraine est maintenant plus complète et constituée sur une base plus large que jamais. Si le gouvernement nous laissait la liberté pour les écoles privées, au lieu de s'abandonner à l'idée malheureuse de couler dans un même moule toutes les têtes de la jeunesse alsacienne, nous n'aurions que des éloges pour ses énergiques efforts en faveur du développement de l'instruction. A l'Université cependant, la liberté d'enseignement subsiste dans son acception la plus large, avec la libre concurrence comme corollaire et comme stimulant. Dotée largement, servie par des maîtres distingués, cette institution réunit les conditions pour favoriser les progrès de la science et sa diffusion rapide. Toutes les branches des connaissances humaines sont représentées dans son programme. Certaines branches comptent même plusieurs chaires, de manière à entretenir une émulation féconde entre les maîtres, émulation excitée par la concurrence des professeurs libres. Tout jeune homme peut ouvrir un cours à côté des professeurs en titre, certain de trouver parmi les élèves de l'Université un auditoire nombreux, s'il manifeste une supériorité réelle soit par l'importance de ses découvertes, soit par le talent de son exposition.\n\nAinsi, les talents les plus précoces peuvent se produire ou se manifester à l'avantage de la science, comme dans l'intérêt de l'enseignement, grâce à un afflux incessant de forces nouvelles. Nous avons trop souvent critiqué les actes de l'administration allemande pour ne pas rendre justice à ses innovations utiles et vraiment fécondes. Peut-être tout le monde n'acceptera pas sans réserve l'éloge de la nouvelle institution fondée dans le but avoué de germaniser le pays. Par le rétablissement de l'Université de Strasbourg, le gouvernement a voulu « consacrer la réunion de l'Alsace-Lorraine à l'Empire allemand, afin que l'esprit du peuple alsacien fécondé à nouveau reconnaisse son retour à l'ancienne patrie. » Dans l'esprit de ses promoteurs, l'Université forme « le lien qui unira le pays nouveau à l'Empire allemand. » L'unité nationale allemande a trouvé dans ces universités une première réalisation. C'est au sein des universités que se répand par toute l'Allemagne cet énergique sentiment d'unité nationale qui, malgré d'anciennes et profondes divisions, finit par enflammer la population de tous ses États et lui donne sa puissance actuelle. Mais les cœurs ne cèdent pas à la violence et ne se laissent pas prendre d'assaut par force comme une citadelle. La persuasion seule gagne les cœurs. Notre jeunesse, retenue par des sympathies qui survivent à la conquête matérielle, résiste encore à l'esprit allemand et évite les écoles chargées de lui inculquer cet esprit. Cette réserve et ces sympathies, nous les comprenons, sans méconnaître pour cela la valeur de la jeune université élevée au milieu de nous, ni sa force incontestable, ni ses promesses pour la science, ni sa supériorité sur les institutions qu'elle remplace, ni son organisation large et libérale, digne de servir d'exemple dans le mouvement engagé pour la rénovation de l'enseignement supérieur en France, sous le régime de la liberté nouvellement acquise sous les incitations de la libre concurrence. Sans contredit, l'Université de Strasbourg occupera désormais un rang distingué parmi ses rivales d'Allemagne.\n\nOn loue beaucoup les Universités allemandes. Elles le méritent. En affirmant leur supériorité manifeste sur la plupart des institutions similaires de France, nous ne sommes pas seuls de notre avis. Un de nos concitoyens les plus distingués, dont nul ne contestera ni la compétence, ni les vues libérales, ni l'ardent patriotisme, M. Charles Schutzenberger, soutenait la même thèse dans un livre (1) écrit, à la veille de la guerre et de l'annexion, en faveur de la réforme de l'enseignement supérieur. « Pas un de nos étudiants, écrivait alors le savant professeur de la Faculté de médecine de Strasbourg, pas un de nos étudiants revenant d'une tournée dans les Universités d'outre-Rhin, qui ne signale avec un sentiment d'amour-propre national froissé l'infériorité relative de nos institutions. » Elles « souffrent du manque absolu d'initiative et d'autonomie, qui entrave leur propre mouvement; leur situation est inférieure à celle des écoles allemandes..... Le personnel des facultés ne compose qu'un agrégat de fonctionnaires. Chaque professeur a sa tâche réglementaire tracée par le programme général de son cours. Ce cours fait avec l'ordre et la régularité voulue, il marge les appointements qui lui sont assignés, il n'a pas à s'immiscer dans l'administration. » Et ailleurs: « La science acquise et traditionnelle et les branches les plus essentielles de l'enseignement se trouvent représentées par le corps des professeurs titulaires. Ceux-ci touchent un traitement fixe, aujourd'hui inférieur aux besoins les plus impérieux de la vie de famille..... L'enseignement pratique qui conduit à l'initiation des méthodes d'investigation et des recherches scientifiques n'existe pas. On apprend la botanique dans les livres, la chimie et la physique dans les cours théoriques, appuyés de quelques expériences faites par le professeur assisté de ses aides, la physiologie dans des leçons orales dépourvues d'expérimentation..... A toutes ces écoles, l'absolutisme de l'administration imprime un cachet d'infériorité légale et positive, tout en les décorant par ses propres règlements du titre d'institution du haut enseignement. »\n\nTelle était la situation de l'enseignement supérieur dans notre pays quand retentit ce cri d'alarme. Sous l'effet de la libre concurrence, l'enseignement secondaire florissait et répondait aux besoins de l'époque; mais le monopole exclusif du haut enseignement aux mains de l'État laissait en arrière les diverses Facultés de province. Ces établissements, parce qu'ils ne progressaient plus, allaient à la décadence ou revenaient en arrière, comme le nocher dont parle le poète latin.\n\nNon aliter quam qui adverso vix flumine lembum Remigiis subigit, si brachia forte remisit Atque illum in preceps prono rapit alveus amni.\n\nLa liberté d'enseignement et la libre concurrence réalisées dans toutes et entre toutes les Universités allemandes manquaient aux écoles supérieures de la France. Sous le régime du monopole, la vie s'était affaiblie dans nos centres d'instruction. Sous le stimulant de la concurrence et de la liberté, les écoles des pays voisins faisaient chaque jour de nouveaux progrès. Ce n'était pas que les ressources nous manquassent pour aller de l'avant. Nous manquions seulement du moyen de mettre ces ressources en valeur. Or, le moyen, pour l'avons dit, et nous le répétons, c'était, ce sera toujours la liberté.\n\nLa liberté jouit d'un merveilleux pouvoir. Dans le domaine de l'instruction, elle suscite d'abord l'émulation, principe du progrès. Avec l'émulation une fois excitée, viennent ensuite comme conséquence nécessaire ses moyens d'entretien de nature diverse. Partout s'établit la concurrence, concurrence entre les écoles rivales, concurrence au sein même de chaque école. Chaque école peut affirmer son succès par le renom de ses maîtres et le nombre de ses élèves.\n\nPour gagner ou pour retenir son auditoire, chaque professeur doit entourer son enseignement de plus d'éclat. La libre concurrence entre les écoles rivales engage chacune à multiplier les chaires, afin d'embrasser tout le cadre du savoir humain, tandis qu'à l'intérieur de chaque école, elle autorise, pour toutes les branches de l'enseignement, l'ouverture de cours libres et privés à côté du cours officiel des professeurs en titre. Les élèves choisissent leurs maîtres librement pour chaque branche du programme d'études, de même qu'ils sont libres d'entrer à l'école de leur choix. De là, comme conséquence, dérive la nécessité pour les professeurs d'améliorer sans cesse leur enseignement par de constants efforts, pour les écoles d'améliorer la position des professeurs de manière à accroître leur renom. Le secret du succès des Universités allemandes réside dans ces deux moyens. Ce n'est pas tout. Au lieu d'être soumises à une administration commune, les Universités de l'Allemagne se gouvernent elles-mêmes par des professeurs librement élus avec une grande liberté d'action et d'initiative, tout en recevant de l'État de larges subventions.\n\nConstituée sur le plan des autres Universités allemandes, la nouvelle Université de Strasbourg présente maintenant une organisation bien différente de celle de l'ancienne académie. Son personnel enseignant comprend trois sortes de professeurs: les professeurs ordinaires nommés par l'empereur, les professeurs extraordinaires nommés par le chancelier, les professeurs libres autorisés à faire des cours réguliers et publics par la Faculté. Les professeurs ordinaires représentent le personnel permanent et l'élément stable de l'institution. Leur nombre limité se trouve en rapport avec les chaires destinées aux branches les plus essentielles de l'enseignement d'une Faculté. Nommés à vie, comme dans les Facultés de France, ils jouissent de certaines prérogatives et touchent seuls un traitement fixe qui, d'ailleurs, ne forme qu'une partie de leurs honoraires. Les professeurs extraordinaires, mais surtout les, ou Privatdocenten, sont des cours accessoires rétribués, comme ceux des professeurs ordinaires, par les élèves. Les uns et les autres disposent également des éléments matériels nécessaires pour l'enseignement, et que l'Université met libéralement à leur service.\n\nIl en résulte une lutte d'émulation permanente du maître en titre avec des forces plus jeunes. Sous peine de déchoir, la vieille réputation du professeur en titre doit grandir incessamment, car il n'a pas le monopole de l'enseignement de la branche scientifique représentée par sa chaire. A côté de lui, dans le sein de la Faculté même qu'il représente, deux ou trois professeurs ordinaires ou libres peuvent enseigner la même matière.\n\nLes élèves astreints à suivre un certain nombre de cours réglementaires suivent le maître qui leur convient le mieux pour les diriger dans leurs études. Pour être admis aux examens académiques, comme pour les examens d'État, il faut au candidat des certificats de présence aux cours réglementaires, certificat d'une scolarité régulièrement accomplie, sans que le certificat du professeur ordinaire donne plus de droit que celui du professeur extraordinaire ou du professeur libre; même les diplômes et les titres de toutes les Universités de l'Allemagne ont une égale valeur dans tous les États particuliers. Élèves et professeurs, qu'ils soient Badois, Prussiens ou Bavarois, passent indistinctement d'une Université à l'autre pour y étudier ou y enseigner. La science allemande trouve dans son organisation universitaire, fondée sur l'autonomie et la libre concurrence, un instrument de progrès sans lequel elle n'aurait jamais atteint sa hauteur actuelle.\n\nSi vous jetez un coup d'œil sur le vaste programme des matières enseignées dans les Universités allemandes, vous serez frappé d'étonnement. Sauf dans les écoles de Paris, qui comptent encore parmi les premières du monde, la plupart des Facultés des sciences et des lettres en France ne comptent que cinq professeurs; il y en a cent trente-cinq à l'Université de Berlin, soixante-dix à l'Université de Koenigsberg, contre trois cent quarante-huit dans toutes les Facultés des quinze divisions académiques de la France en 1870. La Faculté des sciences et la Faculté des lettres de Strasbourg, plus favorisées que d'autres, avaient alors treize professeurs, contre trente-six à la Faculté de philosophie et des sciences de l'Université actuelle. L'Université actuelle compte un total de quatre-vingts professeurs, répartis entre les cinq Facultés de théologie, de droit, de médecine, de philosophie, des sciences naturelles et mathématiques.\n\nChaque faculté, composée de l'ensemble des professeurs ordinaires, élit son doyen; les facultés réunies nomment ensemble un recteur de l'Université et se prononcent sur les changements à introduire aux statuts. Les fonctions du recteur et du doyen durent une année. A côté du recteur, il y a encore le sénat et la chambre disciplinaire. Le sénat surveille avec le recteur la marche de l'institution; il comprend, outre les doyens de chaque faculté, un délégué choisi parmi les professeurs de la faculté. La chambre disciplinaire, composée du recteur, du pro-recteur et d'un syndic pris dans la faculté de droit, règle les questions de police intérieure. Une commission administrative spéciale gère les biens de l'Université, sous réserve de faire connaître des résultats de sa gérance à la cour des comptes de l'empire. En ce qui concerne les études, les professeurs ordinaires et extraordinaires de chaque faculté doivent passer en revue, dans le délai de trois semestres, toutes les branches essentielles de l'enseignement. Tous les professeurs en titre des facultés ont à soumettre au doyen le programme de leur cours, la faculté dans son ensemble devant se prononcer sur les compléments à ajouter ou les modifications à faire au plan des lectures.\n\n727\n\nAvant les réformes que la France est en voie d'introduire dans l'organisation du haut enseignement, la caisse de l'État ne dépensait rien pour cette branche de l'instruction publique, et en tirait au contraire un revenu au détriment de ses intérêts réels. Le gouvernement tente maintenant de grands efforts en vue d'améliorer cette situation, et il n'est que temps, car de mauvais calculs et un esprit étroit ont pu seuls inspirer la pensée d'une économie faite aussi mal à propos. Partout où une économie est réalisable dans l'administration des services publics, nous la recommandons avec instance. Dans les conditions présentes, l'intérêt du pays commande de faire plus large la part de l'instruction. Réduire le budget de l'enseignement serait une faute politique des plus graves, et pour qui se rend un compte exact des choses, les nations qui dépensent le plus au profit de l'instruction sont devenues les nations les plus avancées. Voyez l'exemple de la Prusse. Cette année-même, ce pays consacre à l'entretien de ses neuf universités 6,577,397 marks, ou 8,228,746 francs, dont 4,820,841 marks, ou 6,026,080 francs fournis par la caisse de l'État. En France, le budget de 1870 attribuait au service des facultés une somme totale de 4,215,521 fr. seulement. Pour l'Alsace-Lorraine, le crédit mis à la disposition de l'Université de Strasbourg, en 1876, s'élève à 894,699 marks ou 1,118,302 francs. Eu égard à la population, la dépense respective par tête d'habitant est de 0 fr. 70 c. en Alsace-Lorraine, 0 fr. 12 c. en France, 0 fr. 33 c. en Prusse.\n\nSur le total de 894,690 marks pour l'Université de Strasbourg, il y en a 872,740 de dépenses ordinaires, et 21,930 de dépenses extraordinaires: celles-ci attribuées à l'installation des laboratoires et des instituts. La caisse de l'empire contribue aux dépenses pour une somme de 400,000 marks en 1876, somme à laquelle il faut ajouter 47,737 marks de recettes ordinaires, non compris la rétribution des cours payés aux professeurs par les élèves. Les recettes ordinaires comprennent 22,425 marks provenant de fondations, 15,480 marks provenant de droits d'immatriculation et d'examen, 6,83 marks provenant d'indemnités diverses et d'abonnements à la salle de lecture de l'Université, 2,100 marks pour supplément au traitement du professeur chargé du levé géologique du pays, et 600 marks pour supplément au questeur et au caissier pour le service de la bibliothèque.\n\nEn Prusse, le produit des fondations, en 1876, donne une recette de 843,319 marks pour l'ensemble des neuf universités, dont 414,596 pour la seule Université de Greifswald, et 63,883 à l'Université de Koenigsberg, pour stipendes à quatre-vingt-sept étudiants pauvres. A Strasbourg, les stipendes coûtent par année 19,425 marks, mis à la disposition du sénat chargé de les répartir suivant les demandes que chaque étudiant de l'Université a droit de lui soumettre. La rétribution régulière des professeurs s'élève chez nous à 512,600 marks pour cinquante-six professeurs ordinaires, dix-neuf professeurs extraordinaires...\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS,\n\n...suite de l'article précédent.\n\n727", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 299499, "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": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "page_number": 336, "title": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "content_text": "128\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\ntrois lecteurs et deux autres maîtres; la rétribution du personnel administratif à 50,240 marks; les frais de matériel à 46,390 marks; la dotation des instituts, des cliniques et des séminaires à 240,810 marks; les prix annuels mis au concours à 3,300 marks. Sur les frais du personnel administratif, il y a: 3,000 marks, traitement du curateur; 3,600 marks suppléments au recteur et aux doyens des facultés; 100 marks au secrétaire de l'Université; 3,100 marks au questeur trésorier; 4,500 marks au secrétaire du curateur, contrôleur de la caisse; 2,100 marks au commis de la chancellerie et au commis de la caisse; 7,870 marks pour promotions au doctorat; 6,000 marks pour travaux extraordinaires, etc., etc.\n\nQuelques détails sur la dotation des instituts, des cliniques et des séminaires attachés aux diverses classes trouveront ici leur place et ne seront pas sans intérêt. On n'a pas consacré moins de 3,308,080 francs pour l'installation première de l'Université et de ses annexes, de 1872 à 1870. Cette année même, le budget d'Alsace-Lorraine leur accorde 240,810 marks pour dépenses ordinaires, et 21,930 marks pour dépenses extraordinaires: soit, ensemble, 262,740 m. ou 328,450 francs, contre 362,760 marks attribués en 1876 aux instituts et aux laboratoires de l'Université de Strasbourg. Il y a 668,870 marks inscrits au même titre sur le budget de la Prusse pour l'Université de Berlin; 306,746 m. pour l'Université de Konigsberg; 338,764 marks pour l'Université de Bonn. L'allocation annuelle ordinaire de l'Université de Strasbourg se répartit comme il suit dans l'ordre d'inscription au budget.\n\nSéminaire juridique, 1,200 m.; séminaire des sciences sociales, 1,200 m.; institut anatomique, 10,170 m.; institut de chimie physiologique, 7,400 m.; institut pharmacologique, 6,930 m.; institut physiologique, 8,000 m.; institut d'anatomie pathologique, 3,900 m.; clinique médicale et polyclinique, 18,810 m.; clinique chirurgicale, 10,380 m.; clinique d'accouchements, 49,830 m.; clinique des yeux, 5,170 m.; clinique des maladies syphilitiques et de la peau, 2,100 m.; clinique psychiatrique, 9,150 m.; séminaire mathématique, 1,500 m.; institut physique, 9,300 m.; institut chimique, 76,700 m.; institut zoologique, 3,700 m.; institut de minéralogie, 4,800 m.; institut de géologie et de paléontologie, 4,500 m.; institut de botanique, 11,150 m.; Institut pharmaceutique, 5,400 m.; institut petrographique, 600 m.; observatoire astronomique, 5,700 m.; séminaire philologique, 1,800 m.; séminaire d'histoire moderne, 900 m.; séminaire philosophique, 600 m.; institut d'archéologie artistique, 2,100 m.; institut pour la connaissance des antiquités grecques et romaines, 1,800 m.; institut pour l'épigraphie romaine après Jésus-Christ, 600 m.; séminaire de philologie allemande, 1,200 m.; séminaire des langues romanes et anglaises, 1,500 m.; pour l'étude des antiquités égyptiennes, 300 m.; cabinet de lecture académique, 3,900 m.; réunion musicale de l'Académie, 1,200 m.; école d'équitation, 1,500 m.; dépenses non prévues, 4,000 m.\n\nA elle seule, la bibliothèque de l'Université dispose encore, en dehors de ces sommes, d'un crédit ordinaire de 121,050 marks. Ces chiffres n'ont pas besoin d'autre commentaire. J'ajouterai seulement, en manière de comparaison, que, pour un crédit annuel de 328,450 francs, attribué aux laboratoires et aux collections de l'Université de Strasbourg, bibliothèque non comprise, le total des sommes portées au budget de 1871, en France, pour entretien et renouvellement des collections, établissement des laboratoires, frais de manipulations et de cours de toutes les Facultés des sciences, des Facultés de médecine et des Écoles supérieures du pays entier, ne dépasse pas 341,000 francs. Si, dans les principaux établissements du haut enseignement en France, les instruments de travail manquent ou sont beaucoup trop restreints, nous ne nous plaindrons pas de voir l'administration de l'Alsace-Lorraine faire plus largement les choses à Strasbourg. L'exemple donné sera bon à suivre, car, dans l'état actuel de la science, l'enseignement oral ne suffit plus. Sans peine de déchéance, l'enseignement doit s'appuyer sur l'expérimentation, sur les exercices pratiques du laboratoire, travail également indispensable pour les élèves et pour les maîtres, et sans lequel il n'y a point de progrès possible. Pour compléter les chiffres donnés ci-dessus, disons encore que, sur nombre de 677 étudiants immatriculés en 1870 à l'Université de Strasbourg, nous comptons seulement 106 Alsaciens-Lorrains pour l'étude de la théologie protestante, de la pharmacie et de la médecine. L'Université nouvelle a été fondée par décret impérial du 28 avril 1872, en remplacement de l'Académie établie en 1808, qui succéda elle-même, après la Révolution de 1789, à l'ancienne Université érigée par une ordonnance de l'empereur Maximilien Ier, en date du 1er juin 1566, à la demande du magistrat de Strasbourg.\n\nCHARLES GRAD.\n\nL'OUVERTURE DU TONG-KIN AU COMMERCE EUROPÉEN.\n\nL'EXPLORATION DU SONG-KOÏ.\n\nOn a raconté ici-même comment la deuxième expédition envoyée par les Anglais afin de reconnaître les jalons d'une route commerciale entre le Barma britannique et la Chine occidentale avait échoué d'une façon si tragique. On constatait en même temps que, la route par Bhamo écartée, au moins provisoirement et pour longtemps peut-être, et le grand fleuve de la Cochinchine française étant impraticable dans sa partie moyenne, la solution la plus naturelle du problème semblait être de recourir au Song-Koï, ou fleuve Rouge, grand cours d'eau qui se déverse, par un large delta, dans le golfe du Tong-Kin, et que notre intrépide compatriote, M. Jean Dupuis, négociant à Han-Kéou (Chine centrale), avait reconnu offrir, sur un parcours de 800 kilomètres, une communication non interrompue entre le littoral et le cours même de l'Yûn-Nân.\n\nLes faits qui se rattachent à la tentative de M. Dupuis sont peu ou point connus en Europe. L'opinion publique s'est un instant éveillée chez nous à la nouvelle inattendue qu'une poignée de Français, guidés par le lieutenant de vaisseau Francis Garnier, l'éminent explorateur du Mé-Kong, avait emporté d'assaut, le 20 novembre 1873, la citadelle de Ha-Noi, défendue par des milliers de soldats annamites; de même qu'elle devait s'émouvoir plus tard en apprenant que, à un mois à peine d'intervalle, le chef de cette expédition tombait, dans une sortie, sous les coups de bandits embusqués qui le perçaient de leurs lances et lui coupaient la tête. Puis le silence s'est fait de nouveau autour de ces événements, qui avaient le double tort de se passer si loin, et de tomber au milieu des plus vives préoccupations politiques. On n'en connaissait pas mieux la nature et les détails qu'on n'en appréciait la portée et les conséquences possibles. Éclaircir les uns et faire ressortir les autres, telle est la pensée des lignes qui vont suivre, et qui sont écrites sur les notes manuscrites que M. Dupuis a bien voulu nous remettre lui-même. L'explorateur du fleuve Rouge se trouve actuellement à Paris, et il y est venu dans l'espoir d'intéresser ses concitoyens au succès définitif d'une œuvre à laquelle, pour son propre compte, il a consacré toutes ses forces et sacrifié sa fortune.\n\nM. Dupuis arrivait au Céleste-Empire en 1868, et, dès l'année suivante, il quittait Shang-Haï en compagnie de M. Eugène Simon, aujourd'hui consul de France à Sydney, pour s'enfoncer dans l'intérieur du pays et remonter jusqu'au Thibet, s'il était possible. Mais l'état troublé du Sze-Tchuen, que désolait alors la guerre civile, les força de s'arrêter à Han-Kéou, où ils devançaient tous les autres Européens. En 1871, M. Dupuis eut quelques rapports avec la mission Morel et Blakiston, qui remontait alors le Yang-Tse-Kiang dans un but commercial, et ces rapports attirèrent son attention sur le fleuve Rouge, que, dès lors, il se promit d'explorer un jour ou l'autre. Il y avait évidemment de grandes difficultés dans une pareille tâche; mais M. Dupuis, qui avait déjà parcouru une grande partie de la Chine, qui en connaissait parfaitement la langue et s'était créé de grandes relations avec les mandarins, M. Dupuis espérait bien les vaincre. Dans ces conditions, il s'apprêtait, en 1872, à se mettre en route, lorsqu'il apprit qu'une commission française venait d'être formée afin de chercher, par la voie du Mé-Kong, cette route commerciale vers l'ouest de la Chine que lui-même entrevoyait dans le fleuve du Tong-Kin. Le Mé-Kong, débouchant dans une possession française, répondait mieux que toute autre voie aux besoins mêmes qui préoccupaient notre compatriote, et il jugea convenable d'attendre ce qui résulterait de son exploration. Mais lorsque, deux ans plus tard, il eut appris des membres mêmes de l'expédition que le Mé-Kong ne pouvait être utilisé au point de vue commercial, sa résolution fut prise et, au moment même où le major Sladen, remontant l'Irawaddy, allait à Momien, il prenait lui-même la route du Yun-Nan.\n\nMandarin à bouton rouge, grade qui correspond dans la hiérarchie chinoise à notre généralat de brigade, M. Dupuis put parcourir au grand jour toute la distance qui le séparait...\n\nPage 129\n\n(1) Voir, dans l'Économiste Français du 2 septembre 1876: les Routes commerciales entre l'Indo-Chine et la Chine, etc.\n\nOffice or Individual.\n\nNo. 15253\n\n(Subject.)\n\nRECEIVED\n\n28 DEC 1876\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\n331\n\nFor Office Proceed of Suez relative to demand of the\n\nDate.\n\n1876\n\nDec 26\n\nLast previous Paper\n\n14706.\n\nBest\n\npirms.\n\nTelegram BGN - 27 Jan 187\n\nGW-2-2-\n\nHaßer\n\n158\n\n366\n\nE.

There is however one point, viz.: that of taking pupils who wish to study medicine, which was a matter of special interest to former Governors as Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL and Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY. At that time, however, no students were obtained, and therefore the plan could really not be put in execution.\n\nThe Committee now submit for consideration that the study of medicine is a matter of no mean importance, that a good physician is able to save people whilst an ordinary physician is but able to injure people's lives. A public meeting has therefore been held at which it was resolved to establish a set of Rules and Regulations, and Dr. CH'AN LIN-SUN has accordingly been engaged for the Hospital to teach in the first instance the practice of Chinese medicine, with a view to the pupils, after having obtained a general insight into its leading features, being subsequently further instructed in the practice of Western medicine, so that they become equally versed in the native and foreign systems of medicine when they will surely be able to prolong life.\n\nPage 359\n\n爲轉禀督轅俾知董等爲樂育人材存心活世起見想 中外醫學兼精將來定堪壽世現擬規條十六歎敬謹錄呈請 請 升安諾雅 照不宣 督憲大人惻隱爲懷病瘵在抱定當简而色喜也惴此謹禀卽 方文理通順年二十歲以上者然 華英文字兼通者或 後取錄仍要保荐人二名或殷實 通英語英文者亦 筆書籍俱 一擬收學徒十人須擇其品行端 二所收學徒先擇其 三所收學 給惟衣履 由本院供 脩膳用紙 徒每月 行店亦可先行注册以便細查届 列上取弗能得此 規 期出題面試得上取者方准進院 學徒卽華文仍要 被鋪等件 東華醫院當年總理招雨田黃筠堂馮明珊等頓首 五 則各自備 肄業 通販始准收進 辦\n\n(Translation.)\n\nRULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING THE STUDY OF MEDICINE.\n\n1. It has been resolved to receive ten Students, but before any Student can be received and entered as such in the books, it is requisite to enquire as to the purity and propriety of his character and conduct and as to his thorough acquaintance with the written language and to make sure that he is over 20 years of age. Each (Candidate) must further be recommended by two persons or by a respectable firm or shop. Each Candidate's name has first to be entered in the register (of applications) to facilitate detailed enquiries. At the appointed time an examination will then be held, both orally and in writing, and those who come out best will then be placed on the Hospital Staff as Students.\n\n2.

It as to the hour; they had both believed it struck him that this was rather an extra was to come on at 11 o'clock. At that hour ordinary way of doing things. A gentleman laid a serious charge like this and the same day went away to Shanghai on pleasure and put the gentleman against whom he had made the charge to this inconvenience and humiliation.\n\nabout that time.\n\nMr Brereton: When this summons was\n\nThe Magistrate said that if Mr Brereton had at the proper time brought forward the arguments he was now adducing, he was not sure that he would have granted the remand, but an agreement having been made, an understanding come to between the parties, they could not go back on that. The understanding certainly was that the first affair was to lie over three weeks or until Mr Nelson returned, Mr Nelson has not yet returned, but we are here to-day to have the case disposed of.\n\nMr Brereton again reminded the Magistrate that he had only asked for an adjournment for two days.\n\nThe Magistrate reminded Mr Brereton that the other side were ready to go on; the defendant was not. The defendant required an adjournment, and the complainant made it a condition \"three weeks or nothing\" which was accepted. Certainly it was a very peculiar case, the complainant laying this serious charge and then going away at once, but then all his arrangements had been made before for going.\n\nMr Brereton: It is a very serious charge to be hanging over any man, it is, in the words of the summons, for that he did on the 29th day of March, 1880, at Victoria in this Colony unlawfully write and publish, and cause and procure to be written and published, a certain false, scandalous, and defamatory libel of and concerning the said Horace Harrington Nelson, he, the said John Pitman, then well knowing the said libel to be false, contrary to statute 6 and 7 Victoria, chapter 94, section 4. Now, that is to all intents and purposes criminal charge, and I ask your Worship, when an ordinary criminal charge is brought before you and remanded say for a week from some cause or another, and then comes up again and the prosecutor is not present, would you not as a rule dismiss that charge.\n\nThe defendant would suffer no inconvenience by the order applied for,-that he find bail, He presumed Mr Johnson would be satisfied with his personal recognisances.\n\nMr Johnson insisted on sureties. He had, in Mr Brereton's two letters to him, notice of Mr Pitman's intention to leave for Japan or Shanghai.\n\nMr Brereton said he had never written or said that Mr Pitman was to leave; he had said he might have to leave.\n\nAfter some further conversation,\n\nThe Magistrate: Yes.\n\nMr Brereton: Then I ask you to dismiss this case. Several steamers have arrived within the last few days, one arrived yesterday if I mistake not, by which Mr Nelson might have returned to Hongkong if he really desired to prosecute in this case.\n\nMr Brereton said he was prepared and authorised to assure the Court that Mr Pitman would remain here until the bearing of the case,-any reasonable length of time.\n\nIs Mr Pitman to remain for an indefinite time under this charge to suit the pleasure and convenience of Mr Nelson Were he prevented by any calamity, the break-down of a steamer or wreck or any reasonable excuse from being present here to day, had he shown any desire to be present here to prosecute on the date fixed and been prevented by any unforeseen circumstance, then there would have been some reason for asking that the case might stand over further; but as it is there is none.\n\nThe case was ultimately postponed for a fortnight, Mr Pitman entering into his own recognisances in $500.\n\nUnder the present circumstances I feel that I am justified in asking the Court to dismiss the summons. We are here all ready. Mr Pitman has surrendered to his recognisances and is here, and Mr Nelson is not here to prosecute the charge.\n\nWednesday, April 21.\n\nANOTHER APPLICATION TO DISMISS THE SUMMONS IN THE ABSENCE OF MR NELSON.\n\nMr Brereton, on the Magistrate attending to-day, shortly after noon, apologised for some\n\n(7)\n\nand Mr Nelson is not here to prosecute the charge.\n\nThe Magistrate: Yes. Have you anything to say, Mr Johnson?\n\nMr Johnson: Yes. I have. Mr Brereton made a great deal of the case having been postponed when he was ready, and of the convenience of Mr Nelson being regarded in the matter, but he seems to have lost sight altogether of the fact that it was entirely for the convenience of Mr Brereton and his client that the case was ever postponed at all. We were here three weeks ago ready to go on, and it was only to suit the convenience of the defendant and his Solicitor, who were not prepared to go on with the case then, that we agreed to any adjournment at all. And we only agreed to an adjournment on the distinct understanding that the adjournment should until the return of Mr Nelson from Shanghai, which would probably be in or about three weeks' time. That was three weeks ago to-day.\n\nMr Brereton: It was remanded till that day three weeks, or rather from a fortnight from the date when it was last before the Court. That is to-day. This is the first time the word \"about has ever been used. I never heard of this agreement to wait till Mr Nelson returned, whenever that might be. I certainly never agreed, never could have agreed, to anything of the kind. I never heard of a remand in vague terms of that sort.\n\nMr Johnson: That is so, your Worship. It was remanded till Mr Nelson's return, which it was stated would be about three weeks' time.\n\nThe Magistrate: You shall certainly have the adjournment you ask for, for two or three days, but I do not see my way to let the case hang over much longer.\n\nMr Brereton: The case was adjourned for a fortnight on the 7th April. It comes on now for hearing; the prosecutor is not here, and considering the nature of the charge and the absence of the complainant, I ask for the summons to be dismissed.\n\nI ask that the summons be dismissed. Mr Nelson should have made it his business to be down here three days ago.\n\nThe Magistrate: I must say that I should not be inclined to go much beyond the three weeks. If the case is not to be heard very soon, the summons should be dismissed.\n\nMr Johnson: Mr Nelson will be here to-night if the Oxus comes in.\n\nThe Magistrate: I can only decide on this point as I decided before, that no precise date was fixed, that it was agreed that the case should be remanded from time to time until Mr Nelson's return in about three weeks' time from the 31st ult.\n\nThe Magistrate: Then you can have it to-morrow if you like.\n\nMr Johnson: I have asked for a remand till Friday, which would be more suitable. I am now informed that Mr Nelson will be\n\n400", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308851, "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": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "page_number": 191, "title": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "content_text": "SXI\n\nNAME.\n\n(14)\n\nRETURN of PERSONS illegally Branded and Flogged,---(Continued).\n\nOFFENCE.\n\nSENTENCE.\n\nDATE OF SENTENCE.\n\nDATE OF BRAND.\n\nYears.

POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 | | |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

You are eighteen or nineteen, but you talk like a baby; you make me half-mad.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"If I did kill him it would be only one life, and what is that worth?\" Hsi-chen said, \"You may throw away your life, but I do not want to lose you; I am over fifty, and I have been looking to you to get a good husband, who may be a support to me; by talking like this you hurt me more than I can express, now the thing is interminable, I can but hand you over to him, I fear all is not quiet, and think how hard this is to hear.\" Li-ch'ing was quiet for a bit then said, \"Your child has a plan ready.\" Hsi-chen asked what it was.\n\nLi-ch'ing said, **Out of thirty-six plans, that plan for departing is the best; why should we not run off to a hiding place, and you Papa take your child away with you, things having come to this pass.** Hsi-chen said, \"I fear your plan won't do, my child, for you can't get off; that Hao-chin holds military authority over the five walls and thirteen gates: 800,000 of the guard are there all under him; if he goes against me, I cannot escape even if I have wings; recollect of all the men he has wished to ruin only one, Wang Shih, has escaped; as for your military prowess, think of that fine fellow Lin Chung who was so bothered by him, that he could neither run away from his home nor get out of his country. He will but use stratagems against you, get you into the meshes of the law, and how can you guard against all he can do. It was well said in olden times, if the nest be turned over not an egg in it will be whole; when a minister with authority uses his influence, a man cannot say where he may die. My child I cannot let you go, but I cannot tell what will happen to us or where we are to go.\" Li-ch'ing at first kept her lips firm, but after listening a bit she got frightened, then said, \"You cannot mean surely to throw your child into that dung-heap; I am determined to confront him, and if I kill the brute my reputation will be made, but your child cannot abandon you, dear Papa; Jam your child-whatever you want me to do, I will do in the hopes there may now be no trouble. I only want you to be in safety.\" Thus she spoke, and then pearl-like tears rolled down her face: she bent her knees and wept aloud. Ch'en seeing that his child knew the truth, looked at her for a bit and then with a psha smilingly said, \"Get up, and I will tell you the truth.\" Li-ch'ing rubbed her eyes and got up. Ch'en told her to sit down and listen. \"You say to leave is the best plan, and in this you have guessed aright, I also think we must go, but it is not easy. The associates of Kao Chin are both obstinate and artful; you having got me into this trouble I fear he is sure to be on his guard against our escape, when time comes and we can't get off then the whole affair will come out. If we want to go we ought to go in a day or two to be any good, but it is difficult to arrange. I have to sacrifice, to burn incantations belonging to the live elements, which will not be finished for fifteen days; since meeting with this obstruction half my labour is nought, nor do I know how soon I may have another opportunity. I must act as he acts, and invite those creatures to a wine-shop and calm them down with honied words; these fools don't forget the mutter and design some evil against me. Kao Chin has already been my debtor, and has still a good feeling to me.\n\nHalf a month may elapse without his doing any violent act, or there being any need to look out; when that time arrives, I will fly to a distance with you, and what can he then do to me; this may be called, the calling for tallies when measuring rice plan.\" Li-ch'ing on hearing this said delightedly, \"Papa, how did you contrive just now to quiet him?\" Ch'en replied, \"I said that my daughter's disposition was passionate but that it quickly came round, that if I went home and spoke to her a little she would beg pardon for her fault to Ya-nui whenever he might come to my house. The creature firmly believed me, said he would be sure to come to my house to pay his respects and after saying a number of polite things he went off, highly delighted. Sooner or later he is sure to come here bothering, and when he does come you must act as I shall tell you. The beast, though cunning enough, is not likely to find out my trick, but will follow my path. Do you agree?\" Li-ch'ing was much pleased and gave a complete assent.\n\nAfter chatting a bit, a knock was heard at the outside door. Ch'en went out to look, the old woman also went out to open the door when she saw three men come up and ask whether Lieut. Ch'en was at home. Ch'en on seeing him recognized Fan T'ien-hsi, and on seeing the other two greeted Fan saying, \"You seldom come here, come in and sit down\" the three did so, and after ceremonies and each taking their respective places Tai and Chou noticed that Ch'en's eyebrows were like the outline of hills, his eyes were liquid as water in autumn; he was eight feet high, with vermilion lips, and thoroughly bearded all over his face with waving hair; he wore his hair done up with a date tree wood pin and a seven-starred cap: he wore a long crane robe of yellow bound round with a nine-skeined girdle; he wore curling shoes and he moved gracefully as a god; although past fifty he had not a single white hair. Ch'en said, \"What are the eminent names of these two gentlemen?\" Fan said, \"Both are called Li; they are two great friends; this one comes from Kwangsi, that one from Ho-hsing; they live with me and have come here to do some business.\" Tai and Chou said they had long known the Lieutenant by reputation, and it was an unspeakable consolation to them to be able now to pay him their respects. Ch'en told the old servant to go and get tea. Ch'en then turned and said with a smile to Fan, \"Why do you, who are on such good terms with me, try to deceive me? Do you think I don't know that this gentleman is Mr. Tai, of Liang Shan Po?\"\n\n## THE TANG NOU CHI\n\nThe three were much startled, and Fan said, \"I must ask your benevolence to us.\" Ch'en said, \"Don't talk about it more, but come inside.\" The three much pleased went in, and noticed the excellence of the blue pinewood furniture. The old woman brought tea, and Ch'en said, \"You go and look after the door, when I call you, come.\" She went out and Ch'en said, \"That gentleman I however don't recognize.\" Tai said, \"He is Chou-t'ung, but where did you ever know me?\" Ch'en said, \"Be careful; some years back I went to Chiang Chou on public business together with an official messenger of those parts; we were drinking tea at a music place when I saw you with a criminal dressed for going into punishment, a little dark man; a tall dark man was also there at wine. My dark friend pointed you out to me and said, 'That is Mr. Tai; he can go 800 li in a day;' I was frightened, but seeing you so tall wanted to go forward to have a look, but I was prevented by my work and could not act rashly; shortly the tall man got into a fight with a fisherman and I went away; hence it is I am able to recognise you.\" The three burst out laughing, and Tai said, \"I had lost knowledge of you; the man in prison clothes going into exile was Lord Sung, the timely rain-bringer who was then in Mongsi.\" Ch'en said, \"I did not then know who he was unfortunately. You two gentlemen have come here for some reason: what is it? Why has Fan come with you?\" Fan then read out the letter asking him to join the band which he had received from Hsu-hsing, and then said, \"These two gentlemen have just seen the attack made on your darling by Ya-nui; the road did not look safe, and they want to help you; but fearing Ya-nui's influence and that his friends might be implicated, and also seeing your darling had gained the victory, I prevented them by force from assisting.

If missionaries wait to use methods which seem suitable till educated Chinese are other than very much opposed to them, they will have to lay in a large stock of patience.\n\nThe specimens which Dr. Burdon gives of what he calls Cantonese colloquial equivalents for man li and Mandarin phrases, which are to be used in the mechanical manner he advocates so strongly, do not inspire one with much faith in him as an authority on the subject—the conjunction “and” is twice translated by 與, which can only be properly used when \"and\" means \"together with.” \"Mutually\" is twice rendered 衆, which means the multitude, is the recognised colloquial equivalent; for \"Kingdom\" is given 國, which would be quite unintelligible in ordinary conversation, as any one can speedily discover. For \"to bind (as a girdle)\" 束 one should say 束住, and that is instead of should be.\n\nFor \"to have leprosy\" which should be rendered 發瘋 or 發痲瘋, Dr. Burdon gives 生癩, an expression used of an eruption of small pustules, a kind of itch disease. \"Caused him to have spasms\" is rightly 縮攣一陣好似抽筋, the expression given. 插埋一邊 means \"move this away.\" \"To be cast into prison\" means 被監禁, not simply 收監; \"to be sick\" is 有病, not 生病, which means \"to be taken ill,\" whilst for \"he straitly charged him” either 懇切囑咐 or 仔細叮囑 would be an improvement.\n\nBishop Burdon in these pages has given good proof that two years study of Cantonese, with twenty years of Chinese scholarship to boot, will not enable anyone to say with authority what really constitutes good vernacular. As there is no royal, so is there no episcopal road to Chinese. The acquisition of a dialect requires as nice and accurate study and as much concentrated labour as the highest man.\n\nThe best fate that could possibly befall Dr. Burdon's Primer would be its relegation to the limbo of literary oblivion. Best for the author's fame and for the peace of mind of future students of Chinese. It is a compilation, and to this fact some of the errors may be owing, but as D'Israeli says, \"Abridgers, Compilers and Translators are now alike regarded with contempt; yet to form their works with skill requires an exertion of judgement, and frequently of taste, of which their contemners appear to have no due conception. Such literary labours it is thought the learned will not be found to want; and the learned cannot discern their value; still if undertaken at all they should result in works which the learned may with confidence place in the hands of those whose feet stand where theirs were once planted, at the foot of the eminence which leads to knowledge if not to fame.\"\n\nA thoroughly satisfactory Primer of the Chinese Language is yet a desideratum. Should such appear it would meet with a hearty welcome; meanwhile let Primer writers lay to heart the sage remark of Mencius 博學而詳說之將反說約也.\n\nS.\n\n## THE LAW OF INHERITANCE.\n\n55\n\n## THE LAW OF INHERITANCE.\n\n(Continued from Vol. V., page 251.)\n\n### DECISION OF CHANG MEI YEN.\n\nRecovery of Debts---Guarantee.\n\nThe prostitute Chang Yu appears to have borrowed Tls. 24 from Yang Mei-yu, and although a number of years have elapsed has not paid it.\n\nBeing hard pressed to make payment, one Chu Sheng-ming, a dissolute fellow, who had some acquaintance and connection with her, took pity on her and made himself responsible in her place.\n\nWe know the proverb, \"A thousand taels of gold for a smile;\" but he should have considered his ability first, and cannot claim that he meant nothing when he acknowledged his responsibility. As a deed appears to have been drawn up at Sheng-ming's request, the creditor is quite right in bringing his claim against him, nor is he to be pitied, for, if Miss Ya turns virtuous, she will probably recompense him hereafter, while, if she remains as she is, he will not have lost his money without getting some pleasure for it.\n\nHe acted of his own free will without compulsion, and the matter is moreover too vile to be brought into Court; having acknowledged the debt for his pleasure, he repents now he has satisfied himself; let him be flogged for his dirtiness and stupidity.\n\n### NOTE.\n\nThe course taken by the Magistrate is worthy of remark in that it differs from what would probably be followed by European Courts. Instead of punishing the immorality of the parties by a refusal to entertain the case, the Magistrate decides the questions before him, and takes distinct notice of the immorality by punishing the offending party for his specific misconduct.\n\nIf the obligation of a debt be transferred by deed to a third party, the action must be brought against him, and if it appear that he was a voluntarily consenting party he cannot plead the immoral nature of the consideration received.\n\n### DECISION OF SHAO SIN YEN, SUB-PREFECT OF YO-CHOV.\n\nRecovery of Debts.\n\nIn this case before me, Yen Chêng-chien and Yen Chu-shan appear to be brothers, and Lei Lien to be Chu-shan's father-in-law.

In England the tie of marriage most resembles a contract for the reciprocal enjoyment of personal society and services. It has been a much-disputed point with the modern jurists whether the Roman marriage should be considered a consensual contract of the nature of a sale, hire, partnership, or mandate, or whether it should be deemed a real contract analogous to a loan, deposit, or hypothes. The better opinion seems to be that it was no contract at all, but a mere transfer of property, or technically speaking a concurrence of two wills creating a *jus in rem*.\n\nFrom a juristical point of view the Chinese marriage would seem to be neither a contract nor a transfer, but rather a manumission, a double manumission enforced by no positive law, and, until concluded, involving no rights of the two manumitted ones as against the manumittors, but involving moral duties to carry out the agreement to manumit as between the two manumittors. The bride and bridegroom, as a general rule, have nothing whatever to say in the matter of their own matrimonial destiny. Proceedings are commenced by either the man's or the woman's family, generally the former, and at any age of the interested pair, but most commonly when the age of puberty has been reached. The first step is to seek the services of a *mei jên* or \"go-between,\" a female who is generally *bien majeure* rather than young, and who is frequently a friend of both families. Neither of these desiderata is, however, a *sine quâ non*, and, in some rare cases, the match-makers are even content to repose confidence in a professional \"go-between,\" whose standing is little above that of a common procuress. The male household having confided to this *mei jên* their aspirations, she takes an early opportunity of paying a visit to the family of the girl, and, asking to see the master, is invited into the court-yard (*tu Ping*), where, with very little ceremony, the subject is broached. Let us assume that the advances made are agreeable. The girl's friends, with Chinese caution, confine themselves to set phrases, such as \"Marriage is an affair of destiny, in which men have little to say;\" \"It appears that the fates have pointed to the son of your employer as a mate for our daughter, and this being the case, we must consult with our friends.\" After a little time, the girl's family send for the \"go-between\" and inform her of their favourable conclusion, upon which she busies herself with handing to each family the *pa laz* or - so to speak - \"baptismal register\" of either party. These are written on red paper, and contain a very few simple words. \"The male element (*ch'ien*), name; date of birth; age; year, month, day, and hour of birth,* etc., etc.\" After an interval, \n\n*The two cyclical (male and female) characters for each of the four latter dates, viz, the year, month, day and hour of birth, are more strictly called the *patsz*.-Ed. China Review.\n\n### NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nwhich may be of months or years according to the age of the betrothed, the man's family send a message to the effect that they propose to send presents. A day is chosen for this, and a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of earrings and a few *tcls* in money are sent to the family of the girl. Of course these presents are more or less valuable according to the wealth of the parents. If the bride's friends receive these things there is no retreat: the money and jewels are regarded as earnest money to a bargain. It should here be mentioned that marriages never under any circumstances take place in the 1st month of the year: any other months are available, but the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th are the favourite ones. When a day has been fixed on for the consummation of the nuptials, the ceremony of *sung hang* has to be gone through by the bridegroom. This takes place a day or two before the wedding morning, when bearers are sent with chests containing eatables for the delectation of the bride. This civility is reciprocated by another of *kui hsieh mao* on the part of the bride, who sends to her swain a pair of boots, an official hat, and some articles of furniture. Finally the bride's trousseau and outfit are sent over to the house of the bridegroom - *pan chung lien*----followed the next day by the bride herself. The bride, with her father, mother, brother and sisters, is supposed to pass the morning of her marriage in tears of sorrow at parting. She partakes of a light repast in the morning, and is robed in a dress of red, her features being concealed by a thick and impenetrable veil. At about eight in the morning she is placed in the hired *hua chiao*, or embroidered sedan-chair, which, also, is draped with red. The doors of her house are locked, and the chair is deposited in the court within. When she has been securely shut up, the gates are opened and the chair is received by the friends of the bridegroom, who are in waiting outside and who convey it to their own house to the sound of the flute, the cymbal, and the gong. Along the route \n\n## Page 63\n\ncrackers are fired off, and a storm of these greets the chair as it approaches the dwelling of the man. The chair is deposited in the court, and approached by two of the luckiest old women in the family, who open the door and invite the trembling girl to make the proper obeisances. These are made by both herself and her betrothed in the court, she remaining closely veiled all the time. The pair first kotow to Heaven and Earth, then to their ancestors, next to the parents, and finally to each other. The officious old ladies, discreet, lucky, and experienced, escort the girl to her apartments and cheer her up with words of encouragement, with cups of tea, and with even a cake or two. In a few moments the dread event of \"raising the veil\" takes place, *Fiuo kai-t'ou lo*; the bridegroom stepping in armed with a carpenter's foot-rule with which he twitches off the veil which covers his bride. He seats himself on the left side of the couch, with his betrothed on his right, there being a small table between them. No remarks are made on either side. The discreet old ladies next bring in two small cups of wine which are poured one into the other as a symbol of indissoluble union, and handed to the happy pair to drain. At this interesting juncture the old dames retire, upon which the bride turns her face round to the wall in such wise that it cannot be seen. The husband, for such he now is, probably divining that, what with the ceremonial clothes, the enforced modesty, and the general stiffness of the situation, things would be \"slow\" if he remained longer, now leaves his wife (*sin jen*) to her thoughts, and rejoins his friends outside. Once more the old ladies rush in and befriend the disconsolate girl, who sits in the same place until the male festivities are over, to a late hour in the night or an early one in the morning. During the day, for all the above takes place in the early morning, male and female friends are entertained, and the newly-married pair, in their best clothes, entertain their friends of ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 317929, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 180, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\n## NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nThe examination process is as follows. A notice is issued, and the students assemble according to magistracies in the Provincial Examination Hall (`bung yuan`), when five successive examinations are held in the following manner. Suppose there are ten thousand in all. After the first bout, perhaps ten per cent. are excluded, and the names of the others are hung up outside the Hall, according to magistracies, the first ten in each magistracy being specially noted. This is continued five times, the Prefect each time excluding about ten per cent. of the least meritorious composers. The result of the fifth heat is that about one tenth of the whole number of each magistracy is selected; the names of the ten best of each of these are specially prominent, and the first in each ten receives the honorary appellation of \"Prefect's choice\" (`fu pi`). The advantage gained by the `fu pi` is that, as a matter of courtesy, the Literary Chancellor will, as of course, pass him for his Degree. All the other distinctions, consequent upon this quintuple analysis, count for nothing but local and ephemeral honour amongst one's friends. Nearly all candidates are \"retained\" (`li`) as eligible for the degree of `siu tsai`, as of course.\n\nThis takes place generally in the eighth month of the Chinese autumn. The Literary Chancellor has a `yamen` of his own and receives a Commission for three years. The first two of these are the `sui tsai`, or years for examination for the degree of `siu tsai`. The subjects are, as in the case of the Magistrate's and Prefect's examinations, prose and poetry, but the Chancellor devotes one day to each. An average of perhaps ten per cent. of candidates obtain a prima facie degree, but before the list of the successful is issued (`fa pang`), a second test Examination takes place (`fu k'ao`) in order to guard against imposition, \"cribbing,\" prompting, &c. Generally about eight per cent. of the successful scrape through this second ordeal, upon which, after an interval of ten days or so, the list of graduates is suspended outside the Hall.\n\nThe next step is to buy an official hat, surmounted with a gilt swan in lieu of a button (`ho muo`), which ornament is only worn upon the hat on this one occasion; flowers are also stuck in each side of the hair (`twin hua`). The successful ones must then visit the Chancellor, dressed up in their official costume. This visit takes place at his `yamen`. The graduates first turn to the north and kotow to His Majesty; after that they turn to the Chancellor and kotow to him likewise.\n\nThe Chancellor addresses to them, collectively, a few valedictory words, after which the students retire and proceed to their respective homes. A visit to the ancestral cemetery is an indispensable sequence of having graduated. This ceremony is apparently to establish, before the manes of one's ancestors, this joyful evidence of continuity of honour in the family. The next year a similar examination to that just described takes place, immediately after which the Literary Chancellor holds a second examination (`lien chia`) of the two groups of graduates, for honours (`la chia`). This is also in two subjects only, prose essay and poetical composition, and lasts but one day. The result is announced, like the result of the Magistrate's and Prefect's Examinations, by the posting of a `pai`, not, as in the examinations for the degrees of `siu tsai`, `chü jên`, and `chin shih`, by the issue of a `pang`. The `pai`, or notice, is less solemn and imposing than the `pang`, or official list. The bachelors (`siu tsai`) of each magistracy are now arranged in three grades (`san teng`), the first candidate in the first grade of each magisterial group receiving the title of `lin sheng`, which enables him to levy a contribution of about 500 cash from each of the Bachelors of his magistracy who have competed at this examination for honours, and qualifies him to act as the spokesman and introducer (as mentioned above), in all matters interesting the bachelors or undergraduates of his magistracy.\n\nThose two years being ended, study for the degree of `chü jên` is the next step. It must be mentioned that those graduates who have not reached the standard necessary to become enrolled in one of the three grades for honours are obliged to wait till the second examination for a `chü jên` takes place, to wit, three extra years.\n\nThe examination for a `chü jên` is held by the `chu k'ao`, a special Commissioner appointed by the Emperor to each Province for each `k'o` or examination. This functionary is always accompanied by an assistant examiner (`fu chu k'ao`), and occupies the Town Hall (`kung kuan`), of the Provincial Metropolis, not having, like the Chancellor, a `yamen` appropriated to his use. This examination is much more severe than that for a `siu tsai`, the duration being nine days, in three bouts of three days each, during each bout of which the candidates are rigidly confined, night and day, to their examination cells. The first three days are devoted to essays upon subjects taken from the Four Books (`sz shu`); the second three to essays on the Classics (`ching`); the third to miscellaneous essays upon subjects chosen at random (`ts' lun`). The candidates are no longer ranged according to magistracies, nor the date at which they graduated as `siu tsai`. Perhaps two hundred will be a fair average for the number of `chü jên` degrees allotted to each Province. Under the name of `fu pang` are ranged those who have reached a high standard, but who by special favour receive a degree over and above the number allotted, owing to their great merit. In about a month the `chü k'ao` issues his list (`fu pang`), in which the first candidate, among all from the Province, obtains the title of `chieh yuan`, the second that of `ya yuan`, and the third that of `ching kusi`; all purely honorary titles. The rest of the successful ones are termed `en fusi`. A visit is now first made to the Provincial Governor (`fu tai`), and afterwards to the `chü k'ao`, by all the graduates who have thus taken their second degree.\n\nThe examinations above described may be translated by the analogous terms, \"matriculation,\" \"little go,\" \"Bachelor of Arts,\" \"Master of Arts.\" The third year is spent by the Chancellor in \"going circuit\" to ascertain the literary merit of each township.\n\nThe examination for the degree of `chin shih` takes place at Peking, in the third month of the year succeeding that in which the `chü jên` examination was held. A `chü k'ao`, generally an officer of high rank, assisted by a `fu chü k'ao`, are appointed by the Emperor to hold this examination in the Great Hall (`Kung yüan`) at Peking. The subjects are the same as for the `chü jên`, and the ordeal lasts nine days. Not more than a dozen or thirty from each Province are successful. The first candidate receives the honorary appellation of `hui yuan`. This is succeeded by the `tien shih`, or honours examination, held by the Emperor himself, who selects the themes, which are at once published in the Peking Gazette. The first candidate in the Empire is called a `chuang yün`, the second a `pang yen`, the third a `t'an hua`, and the fourth a `ch'uan lu`, terms which may be rendered by the analogous \"senior,\" \"second,\" \"third,\" and \"fourth wranglers.\" The remaining `chin shih` are ranged in three grades (`san ling chun`), the first grade of which are drafted in the Hanlin Academy, the second of which become petty Officers at Court (`siao ching kuan`), and the third of which are appointed by lot to expectant offices in the Provinces (`chi pu`). The subjects for the `tien shih` are the Five Classics, and five pages of prose composition. Lastly comes the `ch'ao k'ao`, or viva voce examination by the Emperor, who puts five questions to each `chin shih` (`t'si wên wu tao`). According to His Majesty's prepossession is the candidate marked out for any special duty or office.\n\nThe above outline of the Chinese curriculum is necessarily incomplete, and is herewith submitted for correction. Any shortcomings which may be pointed out by letter, to the Editor of the China Review, will be noted, and on some future occasion an ...\n\nPage 180\nPage 181", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 318970, "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": "CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10]", "page_number": 527, "title": "CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10]", "content_text": "and groth it up, and Pang Ja fin, called Fimeliness Ineral and sometimes Admiral Fany, to reported as aceiing Me Collection how- 526 at Chring Chan just outrede this Colony.

The piece of land in question, it is but fair to Mr. Stewart to explain, is at present a paddy field, and, I should imagine, far too swampy for a healthy site.\n\nWhile on this subject I might tell you that Mr. Sinclair, so he informs me, has heard nothing from Mr. Stewart about his earlier case for many months. He doesn't know, and apparently hasn't asked Mr. Stewart, what answer he received to his reference to the Society. There has, it seems, been no communication between them upon this subject since just after Brenan's departure.\n\nFrom missionaries I brought the subject round to trade, and, as authorized by Li Chung-tang, I gave the Governor-General a short account of the views that Li Chung-tang had expressed to me, more particularly on the subject of opium, and then in a few words I gave him a sketch of the negotiations that had taken place between the Yamên and yourself, and explained the stage to which these had come.\n\nHe was very positive in his disapproval of the Hong Kong monopoly scheme, and his chief objection to it, he said, was that the Company was to be Chinese. Things would work beautifully for a year, or perhaps two, but abuses would soon creep in, and the Government would lose. In his opinion, the two essentials to be considered in a readjustment of the opium Tariff were uniformity of taxation and the prevention of smuggling. The latter, he understood, could be secured by the adoption, with the sanction of the British Government, of some system of checking imports at Hong Kong, together with the employment of the foreign Customs as collectors. He thought that if a universal rate of 100 taels could be secured, the arrangement would be a very good one for China. The Chinese Government did not get nearly 6,000,000 taels upon opium, but he still thought that objections would be raised to a much lower rate than 100 taels. The Indian Government got a great deal more, and he didn't see why China shouldn't also. I pointed out to him that China was at liberty to get double what India did if she could, and her failure to do so was the fault of the system employed, for which the Indian Government was in no way to blame. He at once admitted this, and said that he appreciated your efforts to aid the Chinese Government in the collection of their revenue, which suffered immensely from the peculations of dishonest and untrustworthy collectors. Sheng-taot'ai, who, as you know, is in charge of the opium li-kin here, was more outspoken in his approval of the 100 taels tariff, and this afternoon, when he called with the Governor-General's card to wish me good-bye, he was quite enthusiastic about it. He said that if the Chinese Government got 100 taels, it would be \"huang-shang-ti ta fu,\" and if they got 80 taels they would still gain enormously; but he doubted if the British Government would even consent to the latter rate. He laughed at the idea of the opium revenue being 6,000,000 taels, and said that the total loss by smuggling was considerably more than 40 per cent.—in some places was as much as 60 or 70 per cent. He spoke, he said, with authority, as he had been li-kin collector up the Yangtsze and elsewhere.\n\nOn the subject of the commutation duty of 10 taels on foreign imports, the Governor-General gave a less favourable opinion. He doubted if it would be approved of because it would have a tendency to concentrate the duties at Shanghae and one or two other ports to the detriment of other stations in other provinces, the revenue of which would suffer. He hardly seemed satisfied with the suggestion that the gross revenue could, if necessary, be apportioned among the different provinces, or even by the suggestion that duties might be levied at ports of distribution rather than central ports.\n\nYeh Taot'ai, on the contrary, thought centralization would be a good thing, for it would deter foreigners from settling at the outposts, and reduce foreign trade to a somewhat similar footing to that on which it was placed in the Canton factory days, to which I rejoined that uniformity of taxation and abolition of inland duties would be a small matter when shore of the advantages to be gained by numerous points of contact.\n\nI was most civilly treated throughout the interview, and on thanking the Governor-General for having made time to receive me, he said that he had been most pleased to see me, and that he would send me a note for transmission to you. This arrived in the evening, and I enclose it herewith.\n\n**letter.**\n\nMy steamer is advertised to leave to-morrow morning, so I shall travel up with this.\n\nYours faithfully,\n(Signed) WALTER C. HILLIER,\n\n**(Confidential)**\n\nMy dear Sir Thomas,\n\n## 147 \n\n**Inclosure 7 in No. 75.**\n\nMr. Hillier to Sir T. Wade.\n\nOf Nanking, Thursday, September 20, 1881.\n\nI REACHED this early yesterday morning, and saw the Governor-General at noon. I am now waiting on board a house-boat for the arrival of the next up-steamer, which is expected to-night.\n\nThe Governor-General sent a Deputy down to meet me, and the latter provided me with a chair and escorted me to the Viceroy's Yamen, where I was admitted through the big gates, and received by Lin ta jên in the main passage-way. The Arsenal Taotai, and another whose name I did not catch, were present, as well as the Deputy, an expectant Taotai, called Lu.\n\nWhen I explained the primary object of my visit, the Governor-General said that you would appreciate his assurance that it was not his intention to place any difficulties in the way of continuing the relations that had hitherto existed between Consuls and himself, when he informed you, through me, that it was he who had secured the substitution of \"chao hui\" for the old form. He had maintained, in an argument with Shên-chung-tang, that it would only be logical that an official of inferior rank to a Consul should employ the form \"shên chiao\" in addressing him, if this form was expected from a Consul when addressing a Governor-General or Governor. His arguments had prevailed with the Yamên, and his suggestion as to the form to be substituted had been adopted. He went on to say that he would always be ready to communicate with the Consuls on affairs of importance, and felt sure, after my explanation, that they would not abuse their opportunities. He had been much astonished by the receipt of a letter from the Tsungli Yamên a few days since embodying a complaint from M. von Brandt that he, Lin ta jên, had refused to answer a despatch from the German Consul-General at Shanghae, the date of which was given in the Yamên's letter. He declared that he had received no despatch from the German Consul-General on that date, and failed to see what ground there was for complaint. He was so particular to point out that no despatch was received on the date noted by the Yamên that I fancy he did receive one on some other date.\n\nHe then asked about your movements, and I told him that though you had intended visiting Shanghae earlier in the year, you had not found it convenient to leave Peking just then, being much occupied in the discussion of questions affecting trade. I told him, as I had done the other Governors-General, what the nature of these discussions was, but I found it unnecessary to go into details, as he was as well up in the matter as I was. The Yamên, he said, had written to him, and had referred all the proposals under consideration to him.\n\nLike his two colleagues in the south, he pronounced against the Hong Kong opium monopoly scheme, and objected on the same grounds. A friend, he said, had sounded him on the subject and asked for his support. This friend, who was pecuniarily interested in the scheme, promised a payment of 150 taels per chest, and had guaranteed a revenue to the Chinese Government of something like 10,000,000 taels a-year, adding that he had secured promises of support from the Grand Secretaries Li and Tso. Lin Chi-t'ai had, however, refused to support the scheme on the ground, though he did not tell his friend so, that if the guild could promise so high a rate per chest they must anticipate larger profits than, in his opinion, were compatible with straight dealing.\n\nHe was in favour of a fixed rate, which was to take the place of all inland dues and duties, and to be collected at the port of entry by the foreign Customs, but it would be necessary, in order to insure the prevention of smuggling, that a joint Inspectorate, English and Chinese, should be established in Hong Kong. Sir J. Hennessy had long ago promised to do all in his power to help the Chinese Government in the matter of opium taxation, but he did not know whether you would be willing to recommend such an arrangement to the British Government, and asked me what I thought. I replied that I could speak with no authority on the subject, for the proposition, to the best of my knowledge, had never been formally placed before you, but I repeated what I had said to Li Chung-tang, that I could unhesitatingly state that I knew you were willing to recommend any reasonable means that would enable the Chinese Government to secure their legitimate revenue. He then spoke of the smuggling from Hong Kong to the mainland, which he said was some 30 or 40 per cent., and explained how this would be stopped if imports into Hong Kong could be checked. I suggested that Macao was answerable for more opium than she consumed locally; he said that he had thought of that, and believed he could come to an arrangement with the Governor of Macao; he had been in relation with the previous Governor.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324054, "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": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 86, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "14\n\na. Télégrammes d'Etat,\n\nb.\n\nC.\n\nd.\n\nde service,\n\nprivés urgents,\n\n+\n\nnon urgents.\n\n2. Tout bureau qui reçoit par un fil international un télégramme présenté comme télégramme d'Etat ou de service, le réexpédie comme tel.\n\n3. Les avis de service émanant des divers bureaux et relatifs aux incidents de transmission, circulent sur le réseau international comme télégrammes de service.\n\nXXX.\n\n1. Un télégramme commencé ne peut être interrompu pour faire place à une communication d'un rang supérieur, qu'en cas d'urgence absolue.\n\n2. Les télégrammes de même rang sont transmis par les bureaux de départ dans l'ordre de leur dépôt, et par les bureaux intermédiaires dans l'ordre de leur réception.\n\n3. Dans les bureaux intermédiaires, les télégrammes de départ et les télégrammes de passage qui doivent emprunter les mêmes fils, sont confondus et transmis indistinctement, en suivant l'heure du dépôt ou de la réception.\n\n4. Entre deux bureaux en relation directe, les télégrammes de même rang sont transmis dans l'ordre alternatif.\n\n5. Il peut être toutefois dérogé à cette règle et à celle du paragraphe 1er de l'article XXIX, dans l'intérêt de la célérité des transmissions, sur les lignes dont le travail est continu ou qui sont desservies par des appareils spéciaux.\n\nXXXI.\n\n1. A l'appareil Morse, les télégrammes d'Etat ou de service et les télégrammes privés urgents ne sont pas comptés dans l'ordre alternatif des transmissions.\n\n2. La transmission des télégrammes échangés par l'appareil Hughes s'effectue par séries alternatives. Les chefs des deux bureaux en correspondance fixent, en tenant compte de la longueur des télégrammes et des exigences du service, le nombre des télégrammes, de quelque nature qu'ils soient, constituant chaque série. Cependant la série ne peut comprendre plus de dix télégrammes. Les télégrammes d'une même série sont considérés comme formant une seule transmission qui ne doit être interrompue que dans le cas d'urgence exceptionnelle. En général, tout télégramme de deux cents mots ou au-dessus est considéré comme formant une seule série. Ce mode de transmission peut être appliqué à l'appareil Morse sur les lignes importantes dont le travail est continu, mais dans ce cas chaque série ne peut être composée de plus de cinq télégrammes.\n\n3. Le bureau qui a transmis une série est en droit de continuer, lorsqu'il survient un télégramme d'Etat, de service ou privé urgent auquel la priorité de transmission est accordée, à moins que le bureau qui vient de recevoir n'ait déjà commencé de transmettre à son tour.\n\n4. Dans les deux systèmes d'appareil, la transmission du télégramme ou de la série terminée, le bureau qui vient de recevoir transmet à son tour, s'il a un télégramme; sinon, l'autre continue. Si de part ou d'autre il n'y a rien à transmettre, les deux bureaux se donnent réciproquement le signal zéro.\n\nc. Mode de procéder.\n\nXXXII.\n\n1. Toute correspondance entre deux bureaux commence par le signal d'appel ou par l'indicatif du bureau appelé.\n\n2. Le bureau appelé doit répondre immédiatement, en donnant son indicatif, et, s'il est empêché de recevoir, le signal d'attente, suivi d'un chiffre indiquant en minutes la durée probable de l'attente. Si la durée probable excède dix minutes, l'attente doit être motivée.\n\n3. Aucun bureau appelé ne peut refuser de recevoir les télégrammes qu'on lui présente, quelle qu'en soit la destination. Toutefois, en cas d'erreur évidente, le bureau qui transmet est tenu de la redresser, aussitôt que le bureau correspondant la lui a signalée par avis de service.\n\n4. On ne doit, ni refuser, ni retarder un télégramme, si les indications de service ne sont pas régulières. Il faut le recevoir et puis en demander, au besoin, la régularisation au bureau d'origine par un avis de service, conformément à l'article LXII ci-après.\n\nXXXIII.\n\n1. Lorsque le bureau qui vient d'appeler a reçu, sans autre signal, l'indicatif du bureau qui répond, il transmet dans l'ordre suivant les indications de service, constituant le préambule du télégramme:\n\na. Nature du télégramme, au moyen d'une des lettres S, A, D, quand c'est un télégramme d'Etat, de service ou privé urgent;\n\nb. Bureau de destination*);\n\n*) Lorsque le télégramme est à destination d'une localité non pourvue d'un bureau télégraphique, le préambule indique, non la résidence du destinataire, mais le bureau télégraphique par les soins duquel le télégramme doit être remis à destination ou envoyé à la poste.\n\nc. Bureau d'origine précédé de la particule \"de\"\n(Exemple: Paris de Bruxelles)1);\n\n1) Indiquer le pays ou la situation géographique du bureau d'origine, quand il y a un autre bureau du même nom.\n\nd. Numéro du télégramme;\n\ne. Nombre de mots (dans les télégrammes chiffrés on indique: 1° le nombre total des mots qui sert de base à la taxe; 2° le nombre des mots écrits en langage ordinaire; 3° s'il y a lieu, le nombre des groupes de chiffres ou de lettres);\n\nf. Dépôt du télégramme (par trois nombres, date, heure et minute, avec l'indication m ou s [matin ou soir]);\n\nDans la transmission par l'appareil Morse, les indications m ou s, ainsi que la date, peuvent être omises, quand il n'y a aucun doute;\n\nDans la transmission par l'appareil Hughes, la date est donnée sous la forme d'une fraction, dont le numérateur indique le jour et le dénominateur le mois;\n\ng. Voie à suivre (quand l'expéditeur l'a indiquée par écrit dans son télégramme) (Art. XX, § 2 et XXXVIII, § 4);\n\nh. Indications éventuelles que l'expéditeur n'est pas tenu de comprendre dans le texte taxé. Les indications contenues sous les lettres b, d et e ne sont pas obligatoires pour les Offices extra-européens.\n\n2. A la suite du préambule spécifié ci-dessus, on télégraphie successivement les indications éventuelles de l'expéditeur entre parenthèses (Art. X, § 4), l'adresse, le texte et la signature du télégramme.\n\n3. Dans les télégrammes transmis par l'appareil Morse, le signe de séparation entre le préambule et l'adresse, entre l'adresse et le texte, entre le texte et la signature. On termine par le signal de fin de la transmission.\n\n4. Dans les télégrammes transmis par l'appareil Hughes, on emploie un double trait pour séparer le préambule de l'adresse, l'adresse du texte, le texte de la signature, et on termine chaque télégramme par la croix (+).\n\n5. Si l'employé qui transmet s'aperçoit qu'il s'est trompé, il doit s'interrompre par le signal d'erreur, répéter le dernier mot bien transmis et continuer, à partir de là, la transmission rectifiée.\n\n6. De même, l'employé qui reçoit, s'il rencontre un mot qu'il ne parvient pas à saisir, doit interrompre son correspondant par le même signal et répéter le dernier mot compris, en le faisant suivre d'un point d'interrogation. Le correspondant reprend alors la transmission à partir de ce mot, en s'efforçant de rendre ses signaux aussi clairs que possible.\n\n7. Hormis les cas déterminés de concert par les diverses Administrations, il est interdit d'employer une abréviation quelconque, en transmettant le texte d'un télégramme, ou de modifier ce texte de quelque manière que ce soit. Tout télégramme doit être transmis tel que l'expéditeur l'a écrit et d'après sa minute.\n\nd. Réception et répétition d'office.\n\nXXXIV.\n\nAussitôt après la transmission, l'employé qui a reçu compare, pour chaque télégramme, le nombre des mots transmis, au nombre annoncé et il accuse réception du télégramme ou des télégrammes constituant la série. Cet accusé de réception prend la forme suivante: R.... (nombre des télégrammes reçus).\n\nXXXV.\n\n1. En cas de différence dans le nombre des mots, il la signale à son correspondant. Si ce dernier s'est simplement trompé dans l'annonce du nombre des mots, il répond: admis; sinon, il répète la première lettre de chaque mot, jusqu'au passage erroné qu'il rétablit.\n\n2. Lorsque cette différence ne provient pas d'une erreur de transmission, la rectification du nombre de mots annoncé ne peut se faire que d'un commun accord entre le bureau d'origine et le bureau correspondant. Faute de cet accord, le nombre de mots annoncé par le bureau d'origine est admis.\n\nXXXVI.\n\n1. Les employés peuvent, pour mettre leur responsabilité à couvert, donner ou exiger la répétition partielle ou intégrale des télégrammes qu'ils ont transmis ou reçus. Cette répétition se fait, à l'appareil Morse, par l'employé qui a reçu et, à l'appareil Hughes, par l'employé qui a transmis, à la fin du télégramme ou de la série. L'employé qui donne cette répétition doit, à l'appareil Morse, s'il y a rectification, reproduire les mots ou nombres rectifiés. En cas d'omission, cette seconde répétition est exigée par l'employé qui a transmis. Les télégrammes d'Etat en langage secret (chiffres ou lettres) doivent être répétés intégralement et d'office.\n\n2. Quand on donne la répétition des nombres suivis de fractions ou des fractions dont le numérateur est formé de deux chiffres ou plus, on doit répéter, en toutes lettres, le numérateur de la fraction, afin d'éviter toute confusion. Ainsi pour 1/16 il faut répéter \"un 16\", afin qu'on ne lise pas 65; pour 13/4, il faut répéter \"treize 4\", afin qu'on ne lise pas 134.\n\n15\n\n...\n\n \n82", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324260, "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": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 292, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "616\n\n3 Jain [SENAT] noises se relirèrent vers cette époque, elles disparurent peu à peu du Tonkin. Est-ce par suite de l'exécution de la condition à laquelle notre ministre avait consenti, ou n'est-ce pas par la vertu tout autrement sensible des mesures sucrées qu'à la même date le gouverneur de la Cochinchine prescrivait au commandant Rivière? Il est difficile de le dire. Les deux opinions ont été discutées et ont chacune leur vraisemblance, selon moi, d'ailleurs, tout à fait inégale.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nCette condition était celle qui, dans la pensée de M. Bourée, devait équivaloir à l'ouverture du Yun-Nan.\n\nNous n'avons pu, messieurs, avec quelque soin que nous l'ayons examinée, y voir autre chose que la remise aux mains de la Chine de la clé même de la navigation du fleuve Rouge. Par cette clause, nous disposions, sans droit, sans raison, contrairement à la justice, contrairement au traité de 1874, d'un territoire qui ne nous appartenait pas. Tout, messieurs, dans cette partie de la convention M. Bourée fit les déclarations qu'on lui demandait; il les fit au mois de novembre, sans autorisation, sans instruction préalable, spontanément, sous sa responsabilité. Il écrivit une lettre d'un ton et dans des termes qu'il nous serait, encore aujourd'hui, impossible d'accepter.\n\nLes troupes chinoises étaient au Tonkin, elles y étaient entrées sans droit; leur présence y était une menace pour les nôtres et constituait une violation formelle d'un territoire dont nous avions la défense. Eh bien, M. Bourée sollicitait le retrait des troupes chinoises, et voici dans quels termes: «Mon Gouvernement trouverait un gage significatif du bon vouloir de la Chine et de la confiance qu'elle accorderait à nos loyales déclarations, si elle consentait à reporter vers le Nord les troupes impériales venues du Kouang-Si et du Yun-Nan, et dont la présence dans le cercle des opérations que nos colonnes volantes doivent entreprendre contre les bandes aux pavillons noirs ou jaunes pourrait donner lieu à d'embarrassantes difficultés. Quelles ne seraient pas, en effet, les conséquences d'une méprise qui porterait nos soldats à attaquer ceux de l'Empereur?»\n\nQuoiqu'il fût très vrai que nous n'en voulions nullement à la souveraineté territoriale du roi d'Annam, et que nous n'avions pas l'intention de conquérir ou de nous annexer le Tonkin, quoique cela fût vrai, M. Bourée n'en faisait pas moins une déclaration, à laquelle rien ne l'obligeait, qu'on n'avait aucun droit d'exiger de lui. Quoiqu'il fût aussi très vrai que nous ne voulions qu'appliquer purement et simplement le traité passé, il y a neuf ans, avec le roi Tu-Duc et dont nous avions donné communication au gouvernement impérial, sans que, de ce chef, aucune protestation, aucune objection même nous eût été opposée depuis, M. Bourée, indépendamment d'une déclaration qu'on n'avait nulle raison de lui demander, se livrait à des protestations encore plus inacceptables lorsqu'il disait: «Votre altesse me dit aujourd'hui que la Chine a un droit de suzeraineté sur l'Annam, mais c'est là un point qui n'est nullement mis en cause, et je ne vois pas quel intérêt il y aurait à le discuter puisque rien dans notre conduite n'implique la méconnaissance du principe que vous voulez bien rappeler.» (Rumeurs sur divers bancs.)\n\nSi nous avions souscrit à ce langage, si nous avions approuvé de pareilles déclarations, de pareilles protestations, n'est-il pas vrai? nous aurions, par cette approbation, déchiré ou à peu près le traité de 1874, c'est-à-dire le véritable titre sur lequel nous nous appuyons.\n\nVoilà, messieurs, quelle était la première condition de l'arrangement accepté par M. Bourée. Il y en avait une seconde, par laquelle il était convenu que la ville tonkinoise de Lao-Kai, terminus naturel de la navigation ascendante du fleuve Rouge, serait remise à la Chine, qui y établirait une douane, qui la considérerait comme lui appartenant, et de telle sorte, dit la dépêche de M. Bourée, que les produits étrangers ayant franchi cette barrière se trouveraient placés au delà, sous le régime ordinaire de tous les produits qui ont pénétré dans l'intérieur de la Chine par les ports ouverts.\n\nIl y en avait une troisième qui donnait lieu à des objections d'un autre ordre, mais selon nous, également fortes.\n\n233\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nAnnée 1883\n\n... un point parmi les informations relatives à ce traité, et donnant par suite plus de force à l'arrangement que notre agent à Pékin avait accepté, auxquelles nous n'avons pas cru devoir souscrire et dont l'acceptation parait avoir été complètement sauvegardée. M. Bourée ne nous a pas paru avoir près du gouvernement chinois une autorité suffisante pour parler au nom de la France.\n\nEt le ministre de la marine ajoutait:\n\nNous les avons repoussées parce qu'elles nous ont paru dangereuses, illusoires et parfaitement destructives du traité de 1874. Si nous les avions acceptées, vous auriez eu droit de nous demander, et certainement plus d'un d'entre vous en aurait usé, ce que nous faisions des traités que nous étions chargés de maintenir, de quel droit nous permettions de mettre à néant la signature de la France.\n\n(Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nM. de Gavardie: Il fallait l'y laisser... (Rumeurs à gauche.) Comment ne peut-on pas dire cela?\n\n(Voix à gauche: Non! - N'interrompez pas M. le ministre....)\n\nLorsque nous avons nommé, pour la remplacer, un agent d'un esprit conciliant, d'une rare intelligence, et que nous lui avons donné pour mission de se montrer large et facile à toutes les ouvertures qui pourraient lui être faites; nous voulions donner un nouveau témoignage de nos bonnes dispositions.\n\nDans les entretiens qu'il m'est arrivé d'avoir avec l'ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, qui n'avait plus de relations avec le département depuis près d'une année, je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de notre désir d'éviter tout démêlé, lequel n'avait de limite que les engagements que nous avons pris et les engagements qui ont été contractés envers nous, et je dois dire qu'à cette heure rien ne nous donne lieu de croire qu'on nourrisse en Chine la pensée d'une rupture.\n\nCar, messieurs, il ne faut pas s'y tromper. Et ces conventions, messieurs, si longuement élaborées et qui inspiraient de telles armes, ces conventions auxquelles notre ministre à Pékin attachait une valeur que nous pouvions leur reconnaître, il n'est pas sûr qu'elles aient jamais été acceptées par le gouvernement chinois; il n'est pas sûr qu'elles aient jamais été souscrites.\n\nVous avez pu lire, il y a quelques jours, dans un journal conservateur, une conversation, très probablement authentique et qu'on n'a point démentie, entre un diplomate en Chine, de laquelle il résulte clairement que si ces conventions ont été soumises à l'examen du Tsong-li-Yamen, il n'y a jamais donné son approbation.\n\nEt quand même ces lignes n'existeraient pas, je demande, messieurs, ce que c'est que toutes ces négociations, toutes ces transactions, toutes ces conventions avec la Chine, si elles ne sont pas, en fait, la reconnaissance d'un droit que la Chine ne peut posséder sans que nous n'en ayons plus aucun au Tonkin...\n\nLe télégramme du 29 décembre, parmi les lignes qui sont un démenti formel à cette assertion, lignes décisives, à moins qu'elles ne soient absolument dépourvues de sens, contenait une condition dont il donnait une idée, et c'était, à coup sûr, la plus séduisante, qu'il énonçait en ces termes: Reconnaissance du protectorat de la France au Tonkin, sauf sur une zone à délimiter le long de la frontière.\n\nCette reconnaissance, c'était déjà beaucoup que de l'accepter, car on reconnaissait ainsi implicitement à la Chine le droit de la refuser. Mais on conçoit toutefois que le désir de donner à un grand empire fier de sa population et de son territoire immense, jaloux de conserver les souvenirs de son passé, une satisfaction morale et de maintenir à ce prix les bonnes relations que nous avions avec lui, on conçoit parfaitement qu'un pareil désir eût conduit notre agent à accepter une pareille clause.\n\nOn conçoit de même que, si une rectification de frontières paraissait nécessaire à la Chine pour sa sûreté, notre agent s'engageât, en notre nom, à l'obtenir du roi d'Annam.\n\nMais il n'était plus question d'une zone à délimiter le long de la frontière, il s'agissait en réalité de diviser toute la région qui est au nord du fleuve Rouge par une ligne de démarcation à tracer en des points qui n'étaient pas déterminés, la partie au nord de cette ligne devant être placée sous l'autorité de la Chine, celle qui est au sud devant rester sous la police de la France.\n\nCe n'était pas la reconnaître le protectorat de la France, c'était purement et simplement le partager. Or, nous voulons bien être les amis de la Chine, et c'est précisément pour cette raison que, loin de nourrir la pensée d'attenter à l'intégrité de son territoire, nous ne voulons pas même être ses voisins immédiats, séparés d'elle par une ligne simplement idéale.\n\nNous voulons vivre avec la Chine en bons termes, sur le pied de relations cordiales, et c'est pour cela que nous ne pouvions accepter une coopération qui aurait ouvert la porte à mille manœuvres, qui nous aurait imposé des charges dont il était impossible de mesurer le poids, qui aurait ouvert une source intarissable de prétentions rivales, de démêlés et de conflits.\n\nNous ne pouvions pas souscrire à cette condition.\n\nIl y avait un quatrième point sur lequel je n'ai pas à m'appesantir, à savoir que cet état de choses serait placé sous la garantie commune de la France et de la Chine. Je ne m'y arrête pas parce que, en présence de ce qui se passe, de ce que nous savons aujourd'hui, en présence de la connivence qui n'a jamais cessé entre l'Annam et la Chine, une pareille condition a vraiment quelque chose de dérisoire.\n\nTelles étaient, messieurs, les conditions de...\n\nà peine ces pourparlers étaient-ils terminés que, dans une lettre d'un caractère extrêmement courtois - c'est M. Bourée qui le dit - nous devons l'en croire, car il n'a pas cru devoir nous faire connaître cette lettre - le Tsong-li-Yamen faisait des contre-propositions qui bouleversaient de fond en comble le travail accompli; il ne s'agissait plus de convention, de traité; de quoi s'agissait-il donc? Il s'agissait d'une conférence dans laquelle aurait été admis un plénipotentiaire annamite et dont les membres auraient été nommés d'un commun accord entre les gouvernements de l'Extrême-Orient.\n\nA peine les conventions que je viens de vous exposer sommairement, avaient-elles commencé à transpirer; à peine étaient-elles connues que, parmi les indigènes, d'une part, et nos nationaux en Chine et en Cochinchine, d'autre part, il n'y eut qu'un cri; on y vit aussitôt l'indice de notre prochain départ, le triste prélude de l'abandon définitif d'une entreprise que nous poursuivions depuis neuf ans.\n\nM. le ministre de la marine, interprète de ces sentiments, adressait, à la date du 20 février, le jour même où nous entrions aux affaires, au ministre des affaires étrangères, une lettre où ces inquiétudes faisaient jour, dans un langage caractéristique.\n\nLes journaux de Chine, disait cette lettre, publient à propos du projet de traité conclu entre notre ministre et le Tsong-li-Yamen; je ne relèverai pas leurs insinuations, qui ont provoqué dans l'opinion un mouvement que je ne saurais trop appeler sur ce point votre haute attention.\n\n(Très bien! à gauche.)\n\nMais, messieurs, il faut bien qu'on sache que partout où s'élèvera entre la France et une puissance quelconque un démêlé, nous nous montrerons pressés de chercher les moyens de l'aplanir et heureux de les trouver.\n\nSi la Chine croît avoir au Tonkin d'autres intérêts que ceux de son commerce, ceux de la sécurité et de l'ordre que nous sommes chargés d'y rétablir, nous n'avons jamais eu la pensée de nous refuser a priori à toute proposition d'arrangement qui serait compatible avec nos droits.\n\nNous savons tenir compte de la dignité du gouvernement d'un peuple immense et du prix qu'il peut être forcé d'attacher à de certaines concessions flatteuses pour son orgueil national.\n\nLorsque nous avons rappelé M. Bourée, nous avons, néanmoins, maintenu à son égard une attitude conciliante.\n\nDans les entretiens qu'il m'est arrivé d'avoir avec l'ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, qui n'avait plus de relations avec le département depuis près d'une année, je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de notre désir d'éviter tout démêlé...\n\nLa Chine, messieurs, désire être en sûreté chez elle et elle a raison. Certes, si elle est exposée à quelques périls, en butte à quelques menaces, ce ne sera pas de notre côté. S'il lui convient d'ouvrir au commerce de l'Occident ses provinces du midi, nous en serons heureux; s'il lui convient mieux de rester hermétiquement fermée aux produits et aux influences de l'Europe, nous n'avons rien à dire, mais ce que nous ne pourrions admettre, c'est que, hors la Chine, nous ayons à compter avec l'empire du Milieu.\n\nNous avons la ferme confiance que la Chine, dont les intérêts au Tonkin sont non pas opposés mais identiques aux nôtres, ne se laissera pas entraîner à une immixtion que nous ne pourrions pas supporter.\n\nNous savons, messieurs, qu'on travaille à exciter la Chine et nous savons qui l'excite. (Très bien! à gauche. Mouvement.)\n\nNous voyons des passions, qu'on devait croire assoupies pour toujours, se réveiller avec violence. Nous espérons qu'à force de sang-froid, de patience, de mesure, nous aurons raison de ces passions, nous ferons tomber cette colère apparente, nous donnerons à cette fumée le temps de se dissiper.\n\nNous pensons aussi que la Chine ne se laissera pas entraîner.\n\nSur ce point, je dois l'avouer, il s'est élevé entre nous et notre ancien ministre en Chine une différence d'appréciation.

CC.\n\nVoici l'exposé des motifs qui précède le projet de loi déposé hier par M. le vice-amiral Peyron, ministre de la marine et des colonies, portant ouverture d'un crédit de 9 millions pour le service du Tonkin :\n\nA cet effectif de troupes il convient d'ajouter un bataillon spécial de marins qui vient d'être expédié et qui se compose de 600 hommes (1), ce qui donne, pour les troupes opérant à terre, le total précité de 8,650 hommes.\n\nA la date du 26 avril 1883, le gouvernement déposait sur le bureau de la Chambre des Députés un projet de loi portant ouverture d'un crédit de 5,300,000 fr. qui devait permettre d'une part, de renforcer notre division navale des mers de Chine et Indo-Chine; d'autre part, d'entretenir au Tonkin 3,000 hommes de troupes d'infanterie de marine et 1,000 tirailleurs annamites. Ce crédit, voté par les deux Chambres, a fait l'objet d'une loi du 28 mai dernier.\n\nNous ne reproduirons pas ici les raisons qui ont motivé notre intervention au Tonkin; elles ont reçu tous les développements qu'elles comportaient dans l'exposé des motifs du projet du gouvernement, dans les rapports de M. Blanc subé et de M. de Saint-Vallier, dans les discours prononcés par M. le ministre des affaires étrangères à la Chambre des Députés et au Sénat.\n\nLe but que nous nous proposions est résumé dans cet extrait des instructions remises au commissaire général de la république :\n\nLa seule partie du Tonkin que nous nous proposons d'occuper est le delta du Song-Koi; nous n'entendons pas dépasser Bac-Ninh ni Hung-hoa sur la rivière Claire, sauf pourtant, sur la côte, les points dont l'occupation paraîtra nécessaire.\n\nNous ne nous sommes pas écartés de ce programme; nous n'avons pas changé le caractère de notre expédition.\n\nMais la résistance et les difficultés que nous avons rencontrées et qui ont dépassé les premières prévisions nous ont obligés à développer nos moyens d'action. Pour mettre le delta du fleuve Rouge complètement à l'abri des déprédations des Pavillons-Noirs, l'effectif du premier corps expéditionnaire n'était pas suffisant. De remarquables faits d'armes qui font le plus grand honneur aux troupes de la marine, à nos marins et aux tirailleurs annamites nous ont cependant rendus maîtres de solides positions qui peuvent être considérées comme inexpugnables, et la résistance est actuellement concentrée dans les deux places de Son-Tai et de Bac-Ninh, qui couvrent le nord du delta.\n\nLa prise des forts de la rivière de Hué, accomplie si brillamment sous la direction du contre-amiral Courbet, a mis dans nos mains la capitale de l'Annam; cette entreprise hardie, dans laquelle nos marins, nos soldats et nos auxiliaires indigènes ont rivalisé d'ardeur et de sang-froid, a déjà porté ses fruits. Non seulement le successeur de Tu-Duc a cessé d'être hostile à notre entreprise, mais il a pris des mesures qui rendront la pacification du Tonkin plus prompte et plus efficace.\n\nLes Pavillons-Noirs, délaissés par leurs protecteurs, sont manifestement en retraite; il n'est pas probable qu'ils résistent longtemps aux efforts de nos troupes au jour prochain où notre corps expéditionnaire aura reçu les renforts que nous lui avons successivement envoyés et dont la plus grande partie arrivera à Hanoi dans les premiers jours de novembre.\n\nCes renforts, qui s'élèvent au chiffre d'environ 4,600 hommes, n'ont pas pu être exclusivement fournis par les corps organisés de la marine, dont les effectifs ne sont calculés qu'en prévision des besoins normaux des colonies. Il a été nécessaire de compléter les contingents maritimes au moyen de 1,830 hommes de l'armée d'Afrique pris dans le corps des tirailleurs algériens et dans la légion étrangère. L'ensemble des forces dont nous disposerons au Tonkin au commencement de novembre sera de 8,650 hommes se répartissant comme suit :\n\n \n Troupes métropolitaines\n Tonkin...\n Hué......\n \n \n y compris celles d'Afrique\n 6,100\n 100\n \n \n Troupes Indigènes\n 1,250\n 200\n \n \n Total\n 7,350\n 700\n \n \n Totaux\n 6,600\n 1,450\n 8,080\n \n\nD'un autre côté, nos forces navales, tant au Tonkin que dans les mers de Chine, comprennent un effectif de 31 bâtiments de tous rangs, montés par 4,500 hommes d'équipage.\n\nBien que le crédit de 3,300,000 fr. alloué par la loi du 28 mai ne soit pas épuisé, nous estimons que l'entretien des forces dont nous venons de donner le détail nécessitera, pour l'exercice 1883, au titre du chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin), un supplément de crédit de 9 millions se subdivisant comme suit :\n\n \n 4° Service marine (2):\n \n \n \n \n Dépôt des cartes et plans..\n 6,000\n \n \n \n Equipages..\n 574,000\n \n \n \n Troupes (y compris le surcroît de dépense qui résultera de l'envoi et de l'entretien, au Tonkin, des troupes de l'armée de terre).\n 1,600,000\n \n \n \n Vivres des traversées...\n 400,000\n \n \n \n Hôpitaux (dépenses de traitement à bord des bâtiments)..\n 200,000\n \n \n \n Frais de voyage et transit par l'isthme de Suez.\n 770,000\n \n \n \n Dépenses diverses..\n 120,000\n 3,670,000\n \n \n 2° Service colonial:\n \n \n \n \n Services civils (commissaire général et son état-major).\n 50,000\n \n \n \n Services militaires....\n 972,000\n \n \n \n Frais de voyage, etc.\n 100,000\n \n \n \n Hôpitaux et vivres.....\n 1,877,000\n \n \n \n Matériel civil et militaire..\n 1,375,000\n \n \n \n Dépenses imprévues..\n 956,000\n 5,330,000\n \n \n Total........\n \n 9,000,000\n \n\nNous vous demandons, en conséquence, l'ouverture, au titre du chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin), d'un crédit supplémentaire de 9 millions.\n\nTel est l'objet du projet de loi que nous avons l'honneur de soumettre à vos délibérations et pour lequel nous réclamons l'urgence !\n\nLe Président de la république décrète,\n\nLe projet de loi dont la teneur suit sera présenté à la Chambre des Députés par le ministre des affaires étrangères, par le ministre de la marine et des colonies et par le ministre des finances, qui sont chargés d'en exposer les motifs et d'en soutenir la discussion :\n\nPROJET DE LOI\n\nArticle unique. Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de neuf millions (9,000,000 fr.) qui sera classé à la 2e section (Service colonial), chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin).\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\n(1) Ces 600 hommes sont partis de Toulon le 10 octobre dernier.\n\n(2) Bien que les délivrances de matériel effectuées par les services des constructions navales et de l'artillerie pour l'expédition du Tonkin représentent une valeur de 3 millions environ, il n'est pas demandé de crédits supplémentaires pour ces services dans le présent projet de loi, attendu que l'exécution des marchés de remplacement ne pourra pas avoir lieu assez tôt pour que la dépense puisse être imputée à l'exercice 1883. Ce crédit devra donc être demandé au titre de l'exercice 1884.\n\n197\n\nRECP\n\n(REG: 22 NOV 83)\n\nPage 197", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324995, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 255, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "The dozen or twenty guns there were on the front attacked by the French were placed in such cramped positions that they scarcely covered more than the country directly in front of them. Here and there, too, there were square wooden trough-like constructions run through the body of the wall, presumably called loop-holes, but absolutely useless except when a body of troops was unfortunate enough to pass directly in front of them. In addition to this, not even the best use that could have been made of the bad material at their disposal was obtained. The Black Flags seem to have handed over the artillery to the Yunnan or Kwang-si militia, and these men neither had the skill nor the courage necessary to serve the guns. It seems undeniable that if the cannon had been employed with anything like the energy which kept up the small arm fire, the French would never have taken Bortay, or at any rate, not till after a long siege. As it was, the fight here, though severe enough while it lasted, was nothing like the struggle at Phu-sa.\n\nDivided counsels no doubt helped the French greatly. The Chinese \"regulars,\" as they are styled, seem to have drawn off early on the morning of the 15th. Then Liu Jung-fu and the Torquinese Prince appear to have had bickerings, and in the end none but the Black Flags seem to have fought. Close to the west gate, where the entry was effected, there is a long street, constituting the Chinese quarter of the town and inhabited in great part by the leaders of the Hak-kis. Up one side of this street went the Turcos and the Foreign Legion and up the other the Infantry of Marine under the direct command of Admiral Courbet, who was one of the first to surmount the works. All through the second day the fighting centred in this street. Turning and counter-turning movements were made by both sides, but all the while the hardest work was in the centre. The Chinamen defended almost every house. They very early found out that the system followed by the French from the beginning of the campaign was to be carried out here. No quarter was asked for and none was given. So it went on till close on nightfall, when Liu Jung-fu's house was reached. From the extensive outline to be traced in the ashes and the pieces of ornamental stone and plaster-work still to be seen, this must have been a very fine building. With its capture the fighting seems to have practically ceased. The Frenchmen devoted themselves to the ransacking of the defeated chief's house, and the Black Flags drew off towards the citadel, which is not much more than two hundred yards off. What the value of the despatches discovered in Liu's house may have been has not yet appeared. The letters from Hué are at any rate of no practical value, unless they result, or have already resulted, in the beheading of anti-French mandarins. The import of Li Hung-chang's communications may or may not have important results. Perhaps the new reinforcements announced to have left France are not altogether unconnected with the perusal of these documents.\n\nWhat followed is long since known to you. The Black Flags drew off under cloud of night to the mountains which lie north and west of the town. The French entered the citadel early in the morning. The entry was, in true modern Gallic fashion, utterly unauthorized and irresponsible. A handful of Turcos and Estrangers approached the north gate, pushed it open, and entered and found no one inside except for wretched Annamese women and children, and 8 or so Scots of still more luckless youths. A flag was then improvised of a length of the red waistcloth of a Turco, the handkerchief of an officer, and a strip off the blue cummerbund of a Foreign Legion man, and the hoisting of this characteristic tricolor on the tower was the first notice Admiral Courbet had of the occupation of the citadel. Inside, the rice stores were the principal captures made. There was a certain amount of bar-silver taken, but the Chinamen seem to have carried the greater part away with them. About a hundred and fifty poulies were found, as also an elephant, since dead, and a small arsenal. It was obvious, however, that all who left carried their arms and cartridge belts with them. The French have made a clean sweep of all the buildings inside the citadel with the exception of a few of the better-class huts for the officers, the Royal Pagoda, in which the Colonel Commandant is domiciled, and the huge granaries of rice, which were piled up to the roof with grain and contained provisions for probably a couple of years. There is also a curious small building used by the Black Flags as a powder manufactory, with regular compartments for the saltpetre, sulphur, and charcoal. The French are tinkering it up into an arms store. There is no doubt that Liu Jung-fu showed good judgment in abandoning the citadel. Its conglomerate walls would even have fallen before the French guns and the whole garrison would have been trapped. It does not seem to have mounted more than sixteen or twenty guns altogether, and these, if possible, were more wretched pieces than the ordnance on the earthworks.\n\nThe French have cleared a wide space all round the front, and have driven wide open ways in all directions out into the open country, necessarily sacrificing the houses of the town in the process. This presents a most desolate appearance at present. Only about one house in fifty yards is occupied, and yet it appears that it is dangerous for a man to walk alone through the streets after dark. Possibly this state of things may improve later on, but it will not do so very fast, if we are to judge from the other towns in French occupation. Nowhere have they as yet more than a mere military grip on the country. They hold the towns, but nothing more. The Chasseur d'Afrique may jingle his spurs down the Boulevard Marty of Haiphong; the Turco may clear the streets before him in Hanoi; the ordinary line-man and his fellow of the Infantry of Marine may kick over old women's vegetable stalls and swagger about consumedly in Nam-dinh and Haid-anong; at Sontay the same thing may be done with impunity, but nowhere can any one of them go beyond the range of French guns. The Black Flags or pirates would be down upon them immediately. The wanderer would be fortunate if he was merely pelted with stones. The ordinary thing would be a spear-thrust, and a pint of nails and pebbles from a blunderbus might be anticipated with reasonable confidence. It will be a long time before the delta is really brought to a peaceable condition.\n\nIt will be much longer if the projects at present seething in the Gallic brain are attempted. You are aware that the idea is to surround Bac-ninh completely and destroy the garrison to the last man, even if there should be twenty-five thousand of them. Unfortunately for the garrison it would seem that the heights round the town are taken, this scheme is quite feasible. This swooping scheme is talked of here in the most matter-of-fact way by naval and military officers, by civilians and loafers. The argument is that it will be a most salutary \"example\" and that under cover of the scare \"produced,\" the French General Négrier is the man whom rumour points out as the leader of the attack - will make a dash on Lang-son, through the hills, and so close the gate from China. Lang-son should certainly have been taken long ago, but that does not mean that it will be taken now, either easily or at all. There are signs that the rains may set in early this year. There has already been a great deal too much for our comfort. In the rains the country between Bacninh and Sontay would be impracticable.\n\nMeanwhile everything here is at a stand-still, pending the arrival of General Millot with the reinforcements. It is a question whether he will allow correspondents to go to the front, and if he follows the advice of those now in power, he will not.\n\nPage 253", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 327375, "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": "CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884", "page_number": 163, "title": "CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884", "content_text": "# \n\ndésirait que cette Convention pût recevoir, sans aucun retard, l'approbation des deux Gouvernements; le Commandant Fournier demandait, à cet effet, des pleins pouvoirs.\n\n\"La question se posait devant nous dans les termes les plus clairs et les plus catégoriques de la part de la Chine, l'évacuation immédiate du Tonkin dans toute l'étendue de ses frontières naturelles, la promesse de respecter dans le présent et dans l'avenir les Traités directement faits et à faire entre la France et la Cour d'Annam, l'engagement solennel d'ouvrir au libre trafic entre la France et l'Annam d'un côté et la Chine de l'autre toute la frontière méridionale de la Chine limitrophe du Tonkin, c'est-à-dire les trois provinces du Yünnan, du Quang-Si, et du Quang-Tong, et de régler sur cette frontière la liberté des échanges et les Tarifs de Douanes dans les conditions les plus profitables au commerce Français.

In the yard on the opposite side of the narrow, miry street, the ambulance was placed, and by the light of lanterns, the doctors were attending to the wounded. Frequent visits were made here by General Negrier and Colonel Giovanninelli, chief of the first brigade, and speedily, rumour says, to be made a General. General Briere de l'Isle also paid a visit before leaving on the following day. A few yards from our quarters was the covered gate of the village. Passing through it, early in the morning, to perform my toilet at the stream, I saw a dead Chinaman stretched upon the ground within the enclosure. Had he, with something of the spirit of the famous Roman sentinel, refused to quit the gate when the storm came and perished at his post?\n\n## \n\nNext day, the two Turcos battalions led the way, it being their turn to take the front. These were early followed by the battalions of the marine infantry, and artillerymen. During the night, the Chinese had been seen moving about, collecting their dead, and in the morning, they were found to have fallen back on the road to a more defensible position amongst the interminable hills—I say interminable, because the hills, on either side, reached to the horizon, like the waves of a troubled sea.\n\n## \n\nAbout 9:30 a.m., about an hour after the head of the column had started, there was a little skirmishing. Then there was silence. We moved forward slowly until 11 o'clock, when a brisk fire was opened upon the enemy, and sharply responded to by them, in their turn. A dense mist, gathered on the hills, delayed the action of the artillery, but at 12 o'clock, their guns began to play, and for nearly two hours, there was an incessant interchange between the opposing forces, the French gradually working their way, amidst a hot fire, along the ridge facing the enemy. During the hottest of the fire, the staff were standing on the sheltered side of the hill, the column slowly making its way along the road wending amongst the hills behind. In the hollow below were some of the ambulance corps, headed by the Doctor-in-Chief. A lieutenant of the marine infantry was brought in wounded in the foot. Occasional bullets passed amongst us, and a few yards from where I was, a sub-lieutenant of the staff, a particular favourite of General Briere de L'Isle, was struck. With a long-drawn \"Oh\" and the word \"maman\" on his lips, he fell from his horse and died.\n\n## \n\nAt 1:45, firing ceased, the Chinese having been compelled to retreat to another position. In the short interval that preceded the final outbreak, we moved on along the ridge which had been occupied by the marine corps; and, in a few minutes, had evidence of the severity of the struggle. On a level spot at the turn of the road were collected about 60 Turcos; and the ambulance men were bringing in others from the heights around. A few were dead, and were being carried off to be buried. The doctors were busy among the wounded, dressing their wounds, and placing the worst cases on thick beds and the others on canvas stretchers, which were carried to the rear by the ambulance coolies, four coolies to each stretcher. An officer had been wounded in the leg, but only stopped to cut down the leather of his boots, and then went on with his men. One of the men whom I saw had been grazed just on the nostril. Some of the artillerymen were again wounded; their commandant was killed.\n\n## \n\nAt 4 o'clock, we mounted the crest of the hill to see the Chinese make their last stand on the ridge of the plain, about 900 yards ahead of us. From the hills rather to the left, commanding the ridge, the Turcos, and further back the artillery, were pouring in their fire. For a time, there was a lively response, part of which reached us, and caused the General to order his chasseurs to descend below the crest of the hill. But, ere long, the reply became feebler and at 4:30 it ceased.\n\n## \n\nFor an hour, we advanced amongst the bleak hills, everywhere finding traces of the conflict in the dead bodies of Turcos not yet reached by the Red Cross men, and a larger number of Chinese whom, in their last hasty retreat, the enemy had not been able to carry off with them. One dead man had his gun (a Mauser) beside him.\n\n## \n\nThe Staff took up its quarters for the night in a small village situated on a partially-wooded slope, and the troops camped out amongst the hills on the surrounding heights. In the darkness and gathering mist, I tried to find a shelter in the village, but for long in vain. The houses were few and small and of the poorest kind. I had unsaddled my pony in a dark corner, and disposed myself for the night on the wet grass, when I was hailed by a friend, who gave the welcome intelligence that he had found shelter. In a short passage, about a yard wide, we came to a broken-down tenement, into the upper chamber of which, after performing a gymnastic exercise, for there were neither stairs nor ladder, we were thankful to find a place to lie down in. Our baggage coolies were miles in the rear, so that there was no hope of obtaining our food from them. My companion had in his saddle bag an army biscuit and a part of a tin of cheese; I happily had in mine two biscuits and a tin of marmalade; so we fared fairly well.\n\n## \n\nOur covering was meagre for a cold night, but we slept a little. Our ponies were made happy by the find of a magazine of rice, one thing in which all the villages of this quarter are rich.\n\n## \n\nThere was found here also a store of powder, bullets, and cartridges, German make, for the Winchester repeating rifle, Kynoch's percussion caps, &c., and, in the morning, scores of the soldiers were receiving from the stores white bags of untanned leather and Chinese make, intended, probably, for carrying cups.\n\n## \n\nNext day, the 18th February, our march was free and uninterrupted, save by occasional obstructions in the muddy road. At 11 a.m., we entered the deserted citadel of Langson. On entering, we heard that the enemy intended to show fight outside. Passing through to the rampart on the north side, we could see a small body on the opposite side of the river, the Song Ki Cang, ranged, with gaudy flags and banners in the fort of Ki-lua, less than a thousand yards distant. Two guns were brought up; one or two shots caused the banners and their bearers to disappear within the forts, and one or two more caused them to vacate the fort, and beat another and, perhaps, final retreat.\n\n## \n\nIn itself, Langson is a mean place, and the larger village of Ki-lua, half a mile beyond, is equally mean, a collection of Annamite and Moong huts and a few Chinese houses. Encircled by hills, it is indefensible. Something of the picturesque is given to the scene by the fact that within the circle of the brown-green hills adjacent to the citadel, there creep out from the dull red sandy soil, rugged masses of white marble, covered with dark green bushes, and showing on their weather-stained sides large streaks of yellowish white. These stand out boldly in a way that is effective, and almost imposing, conveying something of the appearance of guardian castles disposed around for the protection of the citadel, or as if they were the homes of the local divinities, or haunts of the genii.\n\n## \n\nLarge stores of ammunition have been found here, and a number of brass guns, two mitrailleuses, and a few Krupps; some of these were found buried in the ground, which seems to be a Chinese practice when they are unable to carry off their guns.\n\n## \n\nAs to the fight en route to Langson, it was no doubt the stoutest resistance that the French have encountered since Sontai. I have not been able as yet to ascertain the whole number of killed and wounded in the series of engagements between Chu and Langson, but it must be large, especially since the last battle on the road, in which, perhaps, as many were disabled as in all the other engagements together.

MURDER OF THE CAPTAIN.\n\nThe present time appears \"big with fate\" in this colony. On Saturday we had one of the gravest collisions that has ever occurred in the harbour, and yesterday morning news reached this colony of the most daring piracy that has occurred within these waters since the notorious Spark tragedy. There has been, in fact, a complete repetition of the Spark piracy on board the British steamer **Greyhound**. Captain Syder, which plies between this port and Hoihow and Pakhoi.\n\nThe Greyhound left Hongkong at about six o'clock on Saturday morning with a general cargo, consisting of piece goods, rice, &c., altogether not of a particularly valuable character, and tickets were issued for about 110 passengers. It is believed, however, that none of the holders of these tickets were concerned in the piracy, but that the pirates were men who came on board shortly before the departure of the ship, without tickets, in two batches, none of them having stockings on, and with no luggage but a few boxes, which are now supposed to have contained their weapons. Their passage money was collected on board.\n\nThe Greyhound weighed anchor at 6 a.m., and got as far as an island called Kow Lan Tai Lo, which is about seventy miles from this port, before any event of importance occurred. Between twelve and one o'clock, while the captain was on the bridge, the chief officer on the deck, and the second officer aft, the pirates rose suddenly. Up till then there had not been the smallest suspicion on board the steamer of any contemplated piracy; no precautions had been taken, and no means were at hand to cope with any sudden rising. Not one of the ship's officers had a single weapon about him, and being scattered about the ship as they were at the time the outbreak occurred, the pirates had it all their own way from the very outset.\n\nThe first intimation of the rising was a rush made by the pirates at the captain and officers, firing their weapons recklessly as they did so. Captain Syder tried to fight his way to his cabin, doubtless for the purpose of obtaining his revolver, but he was fired at all the way, and on the starboard side of the deck he was shot down. The unfortunate man was then pounced upon, stabbed, and his body thrown overboard.\n\nThe chief officer got off the best of all. He had not so far to run the gauntlet of the pirates' firing, and he made his way below to his cabin without being hit at all, and there he secured his revolver and lay ready for all emergencies. The pirates knew that someone had got down below, and learning from one of the boys who it was, they sent down and parleyed with him, making an offer about to the effect that if he would come out peacefully, they would leave him unharmed. He was then put in the after-hold, along with the other officers and the Chinese passengers.\n\nThe second mate was less fortunate in his experience. The first thing he knew of the matter was receiving a shot in the back. He was standing aft at the time, and seeing a number of armed Chinamen about him, firing, he made a dart to get forward, but he had to run through a shower of bullets fired at him by the pirate gang as he ran, and he was very severely wounded, with not less than six shot wounds in the body. His injuries are so serious that it is feared he will not survive them. He managed, however, to get forward, and at length reached the forehold.\n\nThe chief engineer was standing by the engine-room door when he received a shot, and he dashed forward at once, and sought the same place of shelter as the second officer. He was rather more fortunate in his effort, as he did not get so badly hit, and he reached the forehold with only two wounds. His injuries, it is hoped, are not of a very serious character.\n\nThose two wounded men were not allowed to remain in their retreat very long, for the pirates had them out and put them in the after part of the 'tween decks, along with the chief officer and the Chinese passengers. The head Chinese fireman was also wounded; he received a shot while walking along the deck, but it is thought his injury is not a very bad one.\n\nThe pirates having thus killed and disabled most of the officers and secured the passengers, had then the entire command of the vessel. There was no one to offer them the slightest resistance, for though the other Chinese passengers out-numbered them about four to one, and knew that they were likely to be sufferers at their hands, they did not attempt any resistance, but were completely intimidated at once. Nor were they really in a position to have done anything, as they were all unarmed, while the pirates were all furnished with firearms, and the chief officer said he saw that some of them had a revolver in each hand.\n\nThe whole affair occupied but a very short time, and almost immediately after the pirates rose, they were in full possession of the ship. The second engineer was on duty in the engine room at that time, and the pirates kept him there. They ordered him to keep the engines at work, and when they had disposed of the officers they proceeded to look round the steamer for plunder.\n\nThey had apparently received some information which led them to expect there was a great deal of treasure or other valuable cargo on board, and expressed great disappointment at being able to find only one box of treasure, containing $2,000, and nothing else in the cargo that they deemed worth their while to remove. They then proceeded to thoroughly ransack the whole of the passengers' belongings, and took whatever was worth appropriation, remarking the while that had they known the amount of plunder to be got was so small, they would not have taken the trouble to carry out their audacious enterprise.\n\nSoon after the steamer was in their hands the pirates had her head turned round, and steamed back towards Hongkong, threatening all the while to scuttle the ship, and to burn her, but, fortunately for the owners and for the crew, they attempted neither. When they had arrived within a short distance from this island they hailed a boat which was lying anchored, waiting for them, and then stopped the steamer and transferred their plunder on board the junk. They next went into the engine room, and removed the lever from the pump which supplies fresh water to the boilers, a step which they evidently believed would...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-222 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [7-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 329866, "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": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "page_number": 189, "title": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "content_text": "## 201\n\n10\n\nConsul, Amoy, to forward a copy to the Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong, and I transmit a copy myself to Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) \n**WM. DONALD SPENCE**\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 4.\n\n**Declaration by Yen A-shêng, Chinese sailor, \"évadé\" from French batteries, Kelung, January 10.**\n\nAPPEARED before me, W. Donald Spence, Acting Consul, Taiwan, this 26th January, 1885, Yen A-shêng, and having sworn, after the manner of his nation, to speak the truth, deposed as follows:-- \nMy name is Yen A-sheng. I am 31 years of age, from the Pescadores. I was employed in an Anping junk, and was returning from Fanghao with a cargo of firewood on the 26th November, when she was captured by a French ship and all hands (five) made prisoners. The junk was towed to Anping, and on the 29th November blown up.\n\nWe were transferred from one ship to another for the space of a month. I did not see many Chinese prisoners on board. The French were often engaged with junks, but I did not dare to look over the side. I was very well treated on board and got plenty of food; but they shaved our heads.\n\n(Witness' head clean shaved.---W. D. S.)\n\nFinally I was taken to Kelang. We were there twenty days. We were a gang of 120 prisoners, 90 of us being made to carry sand in buckets from the shore to the batteries. The rest were employed in the barracks. All night we were put in irons. The only food we got was the leavings of the Annamese, a bowl of old rice at a time, and very often not even that. We had not enough water to drink on days when there was no rain. There were over twenty French warders, mostly white men. Of the ninety Chinamen in the gang, seventeen fell out unable to work through illness and want of food, and they were all shot by the French. Two of my mates were shot. I saw them do it. One was my first cousin, Yen A-ch'in, aged 36; the other Chang A-cha, 35. They were unable to work, and the warder put a revolver to their ears and blew their brains out. I swear this is true. Men who could not work were progged by bayonets and made to work, and when that failed they were shot, some through the head, some through the chest. I saw them do it with my own eyes.\n\nAn attack was made on the French posts by Lin Yu-li on the 10th January with his trainbands. The French turned out to repel the attack, and all our warders went except six or seven. We were in a battery on the top of a hill, and thinking it a good chance to escape, made a rush over the crest and down the other side in the direction of the Chinese lines. I fell and sprained my wrist. We were fired upon, but sixty-seven out of the whole number, including myself, escaped.\n\nAll this I swear to be true.\n\nSworn before me, \n(Signed) \n**WM.

Not to make them a handsome present, not to do anything pleasing to them, but to put his hand into his pocket and make himself a handsome present. The park is for our own amusement and gratification, and probably certainly not for the recreation of the whole community, but only a section of the community—the section which you expect to put their hands in their pockets and subscribe towards the rejoicings. The Government have voted the money, the land is the property of the Government, and only the Government can do the work. The only thing we can do is to urge the Government on and say that if they will be so good as to get the work done this year and pay out the moneys voted for it we will put our hands into our pockets and pay the balance it may stand in need of. I put it the thing is utterly inadequate, utterly unworthy of the community, and almost ridiculous. The park would be a useful thing, but not for the jubilee celebration of Her Majesty. If we do anything let us do something that will be a credit to ourselves. I simply moved the amendment to the second resolution with a view of eliciting the opinions of the meeting. I loyally accept the decision. We are to have a permanent institution, but let it be something worthy of the occasion. As Mr. Ryrie says, we are wealthy enough to put our hands in our pockets and establish a well-endowed charitable institution of some kind, and if we are to have a permanent institution I do urge upon you, gentlemen, that this meeting should do something worthy of the occasion and of Her Majesty. I have much pleasure in seconding the amendment moved by Dr. Ho Kai. With regard to leaving the exact nature of the institution to the decision of Her Majesty, of course something must be suggested. Nothing can be left to Her Majesty except that perhaps half a dozen schemes may be submitted to her with suggestions, and she may choose one of them as most acceptable to herself. But with the broad general principle of the amendment I do most sincerely hope you will concur—that the permanent memorial take the form of a charitable institution the nature of which shall be in accordance with the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen.\n\n€ 189.\n\nMr. R. FRASER-SMITH—Your Honour and gentlemen, although there may be some difference of opinion as to the form the permanent memorial should take, I think there cannot be two opinions as to the pliability of conscience displayed by the learned Queen's Counsel who has just taken his seat. About ten minutes ago we had him contending the proper mode of celebrating the occasion would be to subscribe to the institution in London, and now we hear him advocating a charitable institution. There is certainly a great inconsistency in this as the two things happen to be as opposite as the poles. With reference to the only sensible objection raised to the Park by Dr. Ho Kai, which was that it had already been named the Bowen Park, that does not happen to be the case. I happened to be present at the little amusing farce which took place in Happy Valley two years ago, and what took place was that the Surveyor-General said it was the unanimous opinion of the people of the colony that the park should be named the Bowen Park. But the Surveyor-General had never had the sanction of the community to make that statement; and all Sir George Bowen said was that he was very glad to hear it. It was perfectly well understood that when the park was completed it should be named the Bowen Park, but it has never been so named, and therefore the objection is the merest phantasy. With reference to what Mr. Francis says as to its not being a suitable memorial, not good enough, I think nothing more suitable could be devised. A thing that is to tend so much to the health and recreation of the community is better than a charitable institution, which can only cut one way. The objection of a few Chinese is that the Chinese will not benefit by it. Who will benefit by a charitable institution? The Europeans? Certainly not; the Chinese and the Chinese alone. (Hear, hear). But the Chinese will benefit by this park; they benefit by it now. Anyone who frequents the Race-course as much as I do will see hundreds of children playing on it now. How many more hundreds will go there when it is put in proper order! I am certainly in favour of Mr. Chater's proposal until something else of a definite nature is put before the meeting. Nothing else definite has been put before the meeting, and until something better has been put forward I will certainly support Mr. Chater's proposal. (Applause).\n\nHon. A. LISTER—May I be allowed for one moment to protest against the idea that the Government is in any way pledged to complete the Park at Wong Nei-cheong? A very singular delusion seems to run in the minds of Dr. Ho Kai and others that when a certain sum of money is written down on paper it represents so much cash. A sum of $25,000, I think, was, in a moment of enthusiasm, put down as a possible sum which might be spent on a public park; but that sum was very quickly withdrawn, and the idea of spending anything was given up. Then the modest sum of $5,000 was put down and was spent. And what did it do? It reclaimed that little corner as you go into the valley, and that was all the Colony got for $5,000. A proposal was made to spend another $5,000, but the Surveyor-General said he preferred to do the whole thing or nothing, and he declined to do any patchwork. (Applause). He declined to spend $5,000 this year and $5,000 next year. He said it would simply be making matters worse; creating mud heaps was, I think, his expression. The Government has spent $5,000 to put a little corner in order, and it may in future years, if there is any available surplus, devote a little more to the same purpose. I should say that may occur, if nothing unforeseen happens, in fifteen years, or may be twenty years. (Laughter).\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—Sir, I would simply say I do not consider any scheme which has been included in the Government estimates as fit and proper for the present occasion. Mr. Fraser Smith has said that no other definite scheme has been put before us, but I may say that shortly before I came into the room this evening I received a communication from a mutual friend who asked me to propose the following. I am sorry he is not here himself. He suggests, and I to a very great extent agree with him, that subscriptions to the jubilee commemoration should be devoted to the enlargement and restoration of the City Hall, which should hereafter be called the Victoria City Hall, and that a Committee be appointed to obtain plans and estimates, the same to be submitted to the subscribers. I may perhaps state the cost would amount to something like $30,000, and there is no doubt that sum could be very easily subscribed in this colony. It would at the same time benefit the Chinese and be a great source of pleasure to many Europeans, and it is a scheme I should support.\n\nThis proposition was not seconded.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in putting the amendment proposed by Dr. Ho Kai, said—Considering that we have declined to consider the proposal put forward by the Prince of Wales to subscribe to the Institute for Great Britain, India, and Colonies, perhaps the next most graceful thing we could do would be to leave the disposal of such funds as we may subscribe to the decision of Her Majesty herself, and that the Committee which may be appointed should be empowered to make out a list and forward it to Her Majesty, or it might be submitted hereafter to another public meeting. However, the resolution and amendment have been proposed and seconded, and it is a question for your consideration.\n\nThe amendment was then put and lost, and Mr. Chater's resolution for the formation of the Victoria Park was carried by a large majority.\n\nMr. FRANCIS proposed the appointment of the following gentlemen as a general Committee: Major-General Cameron, Vice-Admiral Hamilton, Sir Geo. Phillippo, Commodore Morant, Colonel Storer, R.E., Colonel Ryan, R.A., the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Dr. Chalmers, Rev. A.

Here there was once a flourishing silver mine, but the workings were buried by a landslip many years ago, as the natives said, since which the ore has only been worked by squatters, who wash it and send it away in small quantities to be smelted: the ore is said to yield both zinc and silver.\n\nSince scaling the plateau up to Hui-shui-t'ang the rocks have been the same, namely, limestone, generally argillaceous, and shale with sandstone only at the bottom of the deep valleys beneath the limestone. After Hui-shui-t'ang the argillaceous limestone is supplanted by a harder rock, apparently siliceous limestone. The gorges, bluffs, caves, and underground rivers that filled the landscape with romantic nooks and picturesque surprises now give way to broad valleys and hills, hard, round, and desolate. The villages are terribly poor. Some, as Yao-chang, were evidently once more considerable, for there are well-hewn blocks of limestone lying about that would not disgrace a London warehouse. But over a pile of such stones there are now nothing better than brushwood shanties, into which an English farmer would scruple to put a cow.\n\nOn the 18th November we reached Wei-ning Chon, which was burnt several times during the rebellion, a wretched place, commercially speaking, but interesting from its position on a lake, and from the fact of its being one of the highest towns in this part of the world (7,330 feet). I have put the lake into my sketch as it appears on the District Magistrate's Map, where it is described as follows:\n\n\"This was formerly a marsh, but has now become a water domain (lake), with a circuit of 100 miles (much indented). There are hills all round, much rock and sand, and a poor soil, cold and barren, not worth cultivation.\"\n\nI gathered from the people who came to gossip as I stood on the wall overlooking the lake, that the water encroached to its present size only in 1858. Before that date there had been no more than an inundation of a narrow basin round the river in summer, much the greater part of the present area of the lake being planted with mao pui (identified at Kew as *Panicum frumentaceum* Roxb., *P. Crus-Galli* var.). The same year an attempt was made to drain the lake to the north-west, and a hill was cut through with that object; but the attempt failed, for hail or other like phenomena always stopped the work, showing that it was the will of Heaven that their fields should remain flooded. It is probable that the cause of the lake's extension is the blocking up of an underground channel as at T'ung-tzŭ Hsien (see last part of this Report).\n\nOn the way down to the lake at Wei-ning we noticed for the first time a deposit which is a distinctive feature of the Yunnan plateau—a loamy earth of a warm red colour which lies high up in the hills in sheltered places—in gullies, for instance—as well as on the floor of the valleys where it has been cut through by water as by a knife, leaving vertical sides often more than 100 feet in height. Sometimes it bears clear evidence of deposit by water and sometimes appears almost granular, so as to remind one of descriptions of the loess of Shansi. It has evidently never been subjected to pressure. Wherever it has been washed away limestone appears beneath. This bright-coloured earth, pleasant to walk and ride upon and well stocked with game, is one reason amongst many which make the plain of the Yunnan lakes a pleasant land to the European traveller.\n\nA large sheet of water is always interesting to dwellers in mid-continent; but this lake supplied us with bodily as well as mental food, so as to impress itself on the memory of the whole party; the water-fowl were easy to get at and of excellent flavour; while the question where all this water came from baffled comprehension and excited curiosity. A few miles to the south-west, at Lien-san-p'o, the road reaches an elevation of 7,770 feet, the highest point touched during the present journey, beyond which the country drains towards the K'o-tu River. On the north side the line of water parting appears to be only a few miles distant from the lake, and the lake is said to drain off towards the north-west. There may be very high land somewhere on the east to reward the traveller of the future's time to leave the road.\n\nFrom Lien-san-p'o to the K'o-tu River, a distance of about 27 miles, there is a descent of 2,550 feet. This stream is about 30 yards across where we passed it, but with a bed at least 100 yards broad, strewn with blocks of shale, sandstone, and limestone, but of no rocks of igneous or volcanic origin.\n\nThe boundary between the Yunnan and Kuei-chou Provinces is formed by a brook that joins the K'o-tu River on its left bank, and then by a range of hills that meets the river west of the crossing. The bridge referred to in the name K'o-tu-ch'iao is that over the brook. On the way down to the river we passed two human heads in cages, blackened by months' exposure. They had belonged to men in General Pao's force, who had plundered an officer's baggage. These heads had done good service, for the whole army had the advantage of passing within two yards of them.\n\nThe descent to the river much resembled that to the Ch'ih-shui River, but was shorter and steeper.\n\nAs soon as the K'o-tu River is crossed the inevitable ascent begins, and in 8 miles, covering an ascent of 2,100 feet, the water parting between the K'o-tu and the T'ang-t'ang streams is reached at an altitude of 7,420 feet above the sea; and a further 7 miles, covering a descent of 1,590 feet, the latter part very steep, bring us to the dilapidated village of T'ang-tang, once a famous mining township. There are many disused copper-mines, but very little is being done at present. The same story was told us here as everywhere else, that nothing was wanted but capital.\n\nI should have mentioned that on the 12th November, at Ta-che-p'ing we met numbers of Lolos, or, as they are here more politely called, I-chia (barbarian families) (see Lolo Vocabulary, No. 1). They are very numerous in this part of the plateau; the men wear the Chinese dress, and can usually speak Chinese. There being no mining to inspect at T'ang-tang, I went for a walk with my Chinese clerk to inquire about the Lolos, and if possible discover a man who could write their character, when, while standing in the dry bed of the stream that runs past the village, I saw a man riding down a mountain-path towards us on a good pony, with big brass stirrups, and two mounted servants behind him. A boy who was following me thereupon said, \"You were asking about the I-chia; look, there is the T'u-ssŭ (aboriginal Chief) coming into town.\" I went back to the inn at once, and sent my writer to make friends with the T'u-ssŭ, and, if possible, bring him in to see me, which he succeeded in doing.\n\nThe T'u-ssŭ was a heavy-featured, stolid man, with whom it was difficult to make way. After time and native spirit had taken the edge off his dulness and suspicion, he gave us an account of the wrongs he and his tribe had suffered lately at the hands of the Mahommedan Chinese who were encroaching on his lands, ending with a request that I would go and see a youth of his tribe who had just been half-killed in an affray. We found a youth of 18, who had just been brought into the village for treatment, lying on a leather mattress spread on the floor in the middle of the room, alongside a wood fire. He had bad sword cuts on the shin, knee, and wrist. The wounds had been covered by an aboriginal practitioner with a plaster of simples, which it would not have been prudent to remove, so I gave him the safe advice not to drink and smoke too much, and left some carbolic oil to be applied when the dressing was removed. The T'u-ssŭ was now my friend, and invited me to go back with him to his place in the country, within a few miles of which there lived, he said, a perma, or sorcerer, who could write the Lolo character.\n\nWhen I got up next morning it was raining cats and dogs. However, the chance was too good to be lost, so at 7 A.M. I went round with one servant. The T'u-ssŭ was in bed, and we had the pleasure of seeing him make his toilet. I was now very much afraid that he would delay our departure, because of the rain which was falling in torrents; not at all; our stolid friend walked straight out and had the horses brought round, without even remarking that it was raining. We followed a bridle-path that crossed torrents and wound round the edge of precipices, sometimes riding through water up to the horses' knees, sometimes toiling on foot through mud over the ankle. We had gone on thus for about three hours, but our host still said his house was far ahead. About 11 o'clock my servant urged that we could go no further, as we should not have time to get back to the inn, a matter of some importance to him, for he would not touch food in the houses of the Lolos, for fear of being poisoned. Just as I had decided that we must turn back we came in sight of a cottage, which our host indicated as the abode of his sorcerer, where I persuaded him to introduce us. The perma was unfortunately thirty miles away, officiating at a funeral, but his wife and brother were in the house, and five or six other Lolos soon arrived from cottages higher up the hill. The distance of the Chief's house still remaining an uncertain quantity I excused myself from going further, and set to work to learn what I could from the Lolos present.\n\nAs it was cold and we were wet through, wood was thrown on the fire, round which we sat eating walnuts—the only food to be got. The Chief lay down and smoked opium.

The arrest did take place within the Chinese line, inside the barrier gate, and no violation of territory was committed at the foreign boundary. At the spot is stationed a foreign official, and had any violation been committed at that time, he would for a certainty have promptly taken measures to prevent it and would have reported to Admiral ... at his temporary station at Kwan.\n\nThe men were duly received, subjected to an enquiry, and confessed their guilt. On receipt, however, of Your Excellency's instruction, it is incumbent upon me to report for Your Excellency's perusal.\n\nHaving perused the above report, I find that the notorious robber Nu lin Chi, alias Mr. Lan, had from a distant date taken refuge within foreign boundaries, so that he was only apprehended on the 12th of the 7th moon (I think it should be 9th instead of 12th as mentioned earlier: 9 July).", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 339554, "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": "CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12]", "page_number": 145, "title": "CO129-242 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1889 [8-12]", "content_text": "the current moon (9) \n\n(9 July) that his accomplice Isong Lin alias Iseng ssu had the audacity to rush in a most unreasonable manner armed with a pitch fork inside the bannier gate and assault by his blows the Chief of the braves fin te chien on the forehead and that both of them after arrest taken under escort to guard station.\n\nThe officers and men were Chinese and the boundaries were --likewise Chinese so that the arrest of criminals has in my views no concern with the foreign territory.\n\nAfter careful perusal of the depositions of Wu Can chung and the other three men forwarded to me it seems to me that if by you it seems true that the Government soldiers entered straight away in 1821 where they arrested the criminal it is not likely that he could have been asked how his business was getting on.

S. Wilkinson, Crown Advocate, prosecuted; Mr. R. E. Bredon, Commissioner of Customs, and Mr. Yu, the deputy appointed by the Viceroy at Nanking, were present in Court during the hearing of the case. H.E. the Tuotai and his interpreter, Mr. Zee Lan-char, occupied seats on the bench.\n\nHenry Croskey deposed--I am an American citizen, and a fourth assistant in the Customs service. I know the accused. I have been stationed at Chinkiang since July 16 last. I lived in the same quarters as accused at Chinkiang. About the beginning of August accused told me he knew there were certain Chinese in Chinkiang who proposed to rebel against the Government in Chinkiang and Nanking and that his intention was to assist them. He named several Chinese who he said were members of a society called the Kolao Hui. He proposed to go to join in the movement, and left with me on his departure certain instructions written in cypher. On one occasion he told me he had written a letter to Gen. Mesny at Shanghai, making proposals to him. The letter, accused said, was signed “X” and the answer was to be addressed to “X”, Customs Post Office, Chinkiang. He also said it was written in such a manner as to make Gen. Mesny believe it came from a Chinese. He had the letter in his hand, but I had no opportunity of reading it. I saw in his possession an American illustrated catalogue of firearms. Accused here interposed and asked if questions regarding arms had any bearing on the matter of dynamite.\n\nHis Worship said he presumed they had. Accused was charged with having dynamite under such circumstances as to raise a suspicion that it was for an unlawful purpose, and therefore the accompanying circumstances were clearly admissible.\n\nExamination continued--Accused told me, two or three days after his letter to General Mesny, that he had applied for leave to go to Shanghai to see a dentist, but that his real object was to see General Mesny. Leave was not granted. He afterwards went away on two months' leave. He said he proposed to go to Japan, and from there immediately to Hongkong, where he proposed to buy arms and ammunition and bring them to Chinkiang. Three days before he left he sent me the paper produced, which is a key to a cypher. After office hours he asked me if I could read it. I told him I could. It is not a difficult cypher. It consists of English words written in Greek characters. Down to the last three lines the words are in the usual order. The last three lines are written from right to left, the lowest line first. On the day of his departure he handed me a sheet of instructions written in this cypher. I gave it to the Commissioner at Chinkiang. I made a copy in cypher and a translation in English: -\n\n\"You will receive a letter or telegram from me with 4 figures: first two give day and second two give month, example: 0110 means 10th August, 3090 means 30th Sept., on this day or soon after you may expect me, if in our own ship. Signal will be one long blast, followed by two short ones; also by day, black pennant at mast head. By night red lamp beneath white, also at mast head. On arrival, come off in Custom's gig or sampan and bring along any weapons that may be in your charge, remember red sash. If I come from Shanghai, I shall come by river steamer bringing arms and perhaps a few men; and come straight to Customs, in disguise, as friend. (Don't go out to dinner for a week, after receipt of my letter, if possible.) We shall then quietly collect our men, arm and commence operations.\n\nOn receipt of date, tell road-coolie, tell boy, and tell him his instructions appended. Find Chinese date from Almanac. Write on slip (thus, 8 moon and 20th day) and show to tingchai the morning of date, tell Morris and if possible, see Clark, Martin, Schultz and O'Neill and tell them to be ready to come aboard. Remember that your duties will be telegraph, bank and Silver Island forts, learn your ground. Likewise take a run up to Nanking, and take road-coolie with you. Domestic: take care of ponies and have them exercised and teach boy to ride (big saddle). Every day ask to see boy's bags: I have told him to make 50. Please pay him for a bale of cloth and cotton out of $20 left by me. On receipt of date, pay boy thirty dollars, tingchai 10 dollars, total fifty, left with you to be returned if not used. Also give each man one bale Turkey red at $2.40--$10. The pass-word, see boy's instructions. Instructions to boy. On receipt of date letter immediately send pamphlets to Nanking, Chinkiang camp, Silver Island and Kiangyin; day before date named, put up notices in Chinkiang not to bargain for eigners--day before date named, tell d'un to arrange with Yang Ta-chang, Gan-chin, l'u Kuo-fa, brass-man, etc., and 100 men himself, they must be ready on bank and when steamer sighted must come off either from Shia-ma-tou or Chi-ho Kho (lorcha anchorage or opposite village; boy not to tell them exact date. The pass-word will be challenge: \"Lago \"who). Answer -\"Gangizu\" to which first man says \"Chiang\" (river). Boy to meet every up steamer after date mentioned, waiting at saloon passengers' gangway.\n\nI have already paid boy $10, tingchai $10, road coolie $5.\"\n\nExamination resumed--Clark is a former third-class tide waiter at Chinkiang, now discharged. Martin is now a third-class tidewaiter at Chinkiang. Schultz is a salt searcher employed by the Tuotai. O'Neill and Morris are third-class tide waiters. The boy's bags referred to were canvas haversacks of which a model was made for accused before his departure. The Turkey red was to be cut up and used for distinguishing sashes. He had left two pieces for that purpose. Accused's boy was discharged by me about September 6th and went to Kiukiang, his native place. Yang Ta-chang is a ting hat in the Custom House general office. Ta Kuo-fu is the head road coolie of the Chinkiang Concession road fund, of which accused was Secretary. Gan-chin I do not know. At the time of his departure accused left a package containing ten or twelve brass knuckledusters, made in Chinkiang by the local tinker, referred to in the translation as the brass-man. Accused went on leave on the 26th or 27th of August. I received two letters from him from Hongkong, one dated 2nd September and the other 5th September. The first letter stated that he had written to Mr. Brazier explaining his presence in Hongkong, and that he expected to leave shortly for Japan. The letter produced is in accused's handwriting.\n\nMr. Wilkinson read the letter, which was as follows:---\n\n\"Victoria Hotel, \n\"Hongkong, September 2nd, 1891.\n\nDear Mr. Brazier,\n\nYou will be surprised to see me sending from this place, having come here, I may say, purely by accident. I found in Shanghai a letter waiting me from my uncle in India, saying he would be able to get his leave and would join me in Nagasaki, if I could get away by the middle of September. This knocked my catching the Vladivostock steamer on the head, so I thought I would rest a day or two in Shanghai, letting the Saikio go without me. When the second day I heard the Saikio had struck on the bar and would not be off till 6 p.m., and as I had found a day in Shanghai quite enough, I started off to catch her in the \"We jung mail\", which arrived (pardon slang) 32 minutes late, and we could only see the smoke of the Saikio as she rounded the corner. I had then no alternative but to sleep on the \"mail,\" which does not return to Shanghai till the following morning, and the next morning I got up at seven and saw a mail steamer getting up steam about a quarter of a mile off. This on enquiry proved to be the P. and O. Mirzapore leaving for Hongkong. I then thought, \"Dash it, why not shoot down to Hongkong and meet my uncle there instead of returning ignominiously to Shanghai to waste a week waiting for the ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-252 - Acting Governor Barker & Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1891 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 347017, "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": "CO129-252 - Acting Governor Barker & Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1891 [12]", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-252 - Acting Governor Barker & Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1891 [12]", "content_text": "## Examination Continued\n\n\"Next Japan mail?\" So before I had time to change my mind for the 20th time, I found myself a passenger on the _Miyako Maru_ for Tls. 30.

There are a nice lot of fellows in the Customs here, also found Mr. McLeavy Brown very kind. I will write again from Japan and remain, Yours truly, \"C. W. Mason.\"\n\nExamination continued-The second letter had under the signature cypher figures which were intended to give the date of accused's arrival in Chiakiang. At the top of the first page were two lines in cypher in pencil, which read, \"Arrive Friday night; follow instructions; everything as arranged.\" I had promised accused to enter into the conspiracy with him, after refusing on two distinct occasions. I thought that, had I refused, accused would have carried out his plans unknown to me, and that it was necessary I should know what he proposed to do, in order to keep the Commissioner of Customs informed. Before I agreed to join him, I told the Commissioner about it. At first, I thought accused was in earnest, but I was afterwards persuaded by Mr. Brazier and Mr. Rickman that he would never carry out his plans. I had a reason to believe that he had abandoned them, though his first letter from Hongkong gave me the impression that he had, because he announced that he was going from Hongkong to Japan. Mr. Brazier never thought that accused's intentions were serious. After accused's return from Hongkong, I was handed by Mr. Rickman a memorandum book which had belonged to accused. It contained writing in cypher, which I was asked to translate. I have made a translation of portions which were in cypher, and produce a copy of the translation.\n\n| Item | Instruction |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | Bell all furniture except bad. Leave with Croskey.

I was told by accused that on his return, he would give me five or six men with whom I was to go to the telegraph office and disconnect the wires, after which I was to bring the operator to the China Merchants' jetty. I was afterwards to go to Silver Island and take possession of the forts. I spoke to Mr. Brazier the day after Mason first spoke to me. I did not agree to join him until a short time before his departure. I did not carry out his instructions, and acted in every way in opposition to the conspiracy, if it may be so called.\n\nAccused put no questions.\n\nRobert Edward Bredon deposed-I am a British subject and Commissioner of the I. M. Customs at Shanghai. I first saw the accused on the morning of 12th September at my office. A letter addressed to me was handed in at the same time as accused was announced. I produce the letter, which is as follows:\n\n**Private**\n\nSteamer Chiyuen, Shanghai, 12th September, 1891.\n\nSir,\n\nI am C.W. Mason, fourth Assistant A, transferred from Chiakiang to Peking with six weeks' leave. Shortly before I left Chinkiang (end of August), I was put in the way of discovering a very serious conspiracy of the Ko Lao Secret Society. I reported the matter to Mr. Acting Commissioner J.R. Brazier at the time. Although he made light of the importance of it, I employed my first fortnight of leave in following it up, and now I have to report that a quantity of arms and ammunition—viz: G. & Co. 35 packages shovels and steel-has arrived by this vessel from Hongkong en route for Chinkiang.\n\nMy object in giving this information is not to ask you to seize it here, but to allow it to go on, as applied for, to Chinkiang. I have certain information that if it is seized here, it will precipitate an immediate rise at all the ports, and the seizure of Customs moneys. If no suspicion is shown, the arms will be landed and stored at Chinkiang. The movement will not be carried out for some weeks, and we shall be able to track the contraband to its storing place, seize all previous stores, and have sure evidence by which to secure and convict the ringleaders and crush the revolt. I can scarcely dwell sufficiently on the importance of allowing the goods to go quietly forward, and letting them be applied for in the usual way at Chinkiang. The Society have their agents both on the steamers and in the yamên; so for a guard, none of the soldiers could be trusted. But as if I am suspected of treachery, my life will be in danger, I should be obliged if one or a couple of officers could be sent with me. I need scarcely say that the whole matter from beginning to end will be laid before the Inspector-General in a memorandum from me.\n\nI remain, etc., etc.,\n\n(Signed) C.W. Mason.\n\n**Nota-Bill of Lading produced by Mr. Mason:**\n\n\"China Merchants S. N. Company. Bill of Lading-Hongkong No. 84, dated 7th September. Chiyuen—G. & Co., 8 packages shovels. 27 packages steel. 35 packages only-Shipper Wing Shung. Consignee bearer, piculs 39.30 at 15 cents per picul=$5.90.\"\n\nI asked him some questions on the subject of the letter, and he repeated his request that the arms should go on to Chinkiang. I did not agree to this; in fact, the arms were in process of being seized at the time. I gathered from his remarks that he knew we were looking for the arms. He told me that he was at that time under orders to go to Peking at the expiry of his leave. I told him the best thing he could do would be to go to Peking at once, to drop the conspiracy and not return to Chinkiang. I added that he should go to Peking and lay the whole matter before the Inspector-General. I asked him to call again that afternoon and to dine with me at the Club in the evening. He did not come back in the afternoon but came to dinner. He said he had received a threatening notice just after he left my office in the morning, to the effect that if he did not proceed to Chinkiang at once, he would not leave Shanghai alive. He also said he had sent me a note explaining the circumstances of his not coming. I told him that up to then I had not received it. At dinner, we discussed the question, and I advised him that in spite of the notice, he still ought not to go to Chinkiang, and that he could get on board the _Fungshun_ just before she started that night. He gave me to understand that he would act on my advice, and I left the Club under the impression that he was going by the _Fungshun_. This was on Saturday night. On Monday morning, September 14th, I received the letter which accused said he sent me on Saturday afternoon.\n\n\"Hotel des Colonies, Shanghai, 12th September, 1891.\n\nDear Mr. Bredon,-A second warning has frightened me: I can't risk not going to Chinkiang. I shall leave by _Fuhwo_, tell Rickman I have come to fetch my thick clothes, and use my utmost endeavours to prevent a rising and obtain sufficient information to show some palpable result to the I.G. I shall be back in time to catch the next Tientsin steamer.\n\nMeanwhile, I may say that there are 25,000 more cartridges to follow from Hongkong, which I believe will be packed 500 to 1,000 in bales of sugar: probably they will change the mark. The only likelihood of finding them would be if there was a small lot of 25 or 50 packages.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-252 - Acting Governor Barker & Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1891 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 349737, "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": "CO129-256 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [8-12]", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-256 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [8-12]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH.\n\n**CO 18049**\n\n**VILGE 12 SEP 92**\n\nGovernor.\n\nNo. 254\n\nDate. 1892\n\n6 Ave\n\n**Widows & Orphans Fund**\n\nInterpreter Joh.

North of Mokpo town is a fourth islet, round the east of which the creek winds. Between the creek and the town lies a short stretch of hard mud, only just covered at high water, and therefore easily reclaimable. Across this extend at three points irregular lines of boulders, that form natural, but not altogether efficient or comfortable, jetties.\n\nMokpo in its present condition, however, has little use for jetties. The river on which it stands is the main artery of trade for Chulla-do, but the trade so far has passed Mokpo by; 20 miles up stream is a mart variously known as Sa-ho-kang, Sa-ho-chin, or Sa-po, which serves as a distributing centre for Na-ju (the chief town of southern Chulla-do, 40 miles from Mokpo), Nam-p'yeng (50 miles), Kwang-ja (60 miles), and Neung-ju. From this place the river boats bring down rice, cotton, fans, raw silk, paper, and grass-cloth; but these goods are not landed at Mokpo, where there are no godowns or storehouses, as at Kunsan. The boats remain moored in the stream, and discharge their cargoes into sea-going craft direct. The officials in charge of them—the rice has hitherto been mainly on Government account—might, perhaps, spend the night ashore, but that would be all the interest Mokpo town has hitherto had in their proceedings.\n\nIt does not, however, follow from this that Mokpo will not make a good Treaty port. On the contrary, it has a very great deal to recommend it. It is only 7 miles from the sea, and, except for the occasional race in the Forks, is easily accessible at all states of the tide to ocean steamers; it is well sheltered, particularly on the north-west, while the creek and mudflats afford all that will be necessary for junk trade. It will be easy and comparatively inexpensive to construct a bund on the western edge of the creek, alongside which lighters could at all times discharge, and to widen, should it prove necessary, the creek itself. The rice-fields once filled in would supply sufficient level space for business premises for many years, and the rising ground surrounding them to the north and west would provide at the same time material for such filling in and desirable sites for residences. It may be that higher up the river an equally good position exists, but the presumption is against it. It is true that the launch of Her Majesty's ship \"Flying Fish,\" in 1883, proceeded for some 10 miles in this direction, finding 8 fathoms or more the whole way, but that equal alongshore facilities are wanted would seem established by the fact that it is Mokpo, and no other spot on the river, that was selected by the Japanese authorities, who are in the best position to decide, for the proposed open port. There can be no question, in any case, as to the desirability of opening some port on this river. Chulla is in normal times the richest province in Corea and its chief granary, while Na-ju and the neighbourhood are reputed to be the richest districts in Chulla. The archipelago that fringes its coast is renowned for its sea products, fish of all kinds, sea-weed, sharks' fins, and the like, and for these Mokpo forms a convenient centre for collection, better than Pêpsông, because it is approachable by ocean-going vessels, and better than any place higher up the Yong-san River, because it is nearer to the sea. The opening of Mokpo would have, at first at any rate, a prejudicial effect on the trade of Fusan, and even, but to a less extent, on that of Chemulpo. This is recognized by the Japanese merchants at Fusan, who have been agitating against its opening. They endeavoured to get the Japanese Chamber of Commerce at Chemulpo to join them, but the latter very wisely refused, on the ground that though the local interests of Japanese at the two present ports might seem to be for the moment threatened, the trade of Japan itself with Corea as a whole would largely benefit.\n\nI have described the condition of Mokpo as favourable to the formation of a general foreign Settlement. It appears, however, that an attempt has been made on the part of private speculators to buy up, in advance of the anticipated opening of the port, all the available land. This was freely stated on the occasion of Mr. Osborne's visit, and two months later the correspondent of the \"Shin Chosen\" writes (30th July): “The report that the ground said to be available for a Settlement on the opening of the port has been bought up is really true.\" This ground, he says, comprises all the level fields, and he adds that the extension of the town hill on the south-east side has been marked out as a site for the future Customs establishment. I, myself, noticed on the hill to the north of the paddy-fields stakes with the inscription (to give the hieroglyphs their Japanese sounds) \"Tai-tsu Shagwai Kichi,\" or \"Site of the Tadong Association.\" The speculators appear to be all Japanese, and it is needless to say that in face of the Treaties restricting land purchase to the Treaty ports, and the 10 li (3-mile) radius round them, the transaction is entirely illegal, and cannot, it is presumed, be recognized by the Corean Government or the foreign Representatives. To indorse it would be to put all but the speculators at Mokpo at a disadvantage so great as to mean practical exclusion from the port. When Mokpo is about to be opened an area for a general foreign Settlement should, I would suggest, be marked out by the Corean Government and the foreign Representatives, no exclusive privileges being allowed to any individual or nationality. The Settlement area should then be divided into suitable lots, and these lots should be put up to auction on a date of which not less than one month's notice should be given in the Gazette. The precise limits of the Settlement area would naturally be a matter of consideration between the Representatives and the Government, but the space should, I think, include the whole of the present town, the fields and foreshore to the north and west, and, at any rate, the southern and eastern slopes of the hills behind them. The portion of the city hill south of the wall, and the foreshore east of it, might be reserved for Customs purposes. It is here, as I have said, that the present rough landing-places are situated, and no better place could be found for their more commodious successors.\n\nThe little town of Mokpo contains between 40 and 50 families, or between 200 or 250 inhabitants. These live in thatched hovels with mud-floors, and can hardly be said to have any trade; at any rate, there were no shops to be seen. They subsist by husbandry and fishing. The town wall is from 8 to 10 feet high, overgrown, when I saw it, with wild creepers and gourds. Gourds were everywhere, sprawling over the thatched roofs and bushes of purple hibiscus. The streets of the miniature town are only a yard or two in width, and looked and felt like the dried bed of some shelving mountain stream. Indeed, the permanent features of the town (the gourds will be all water-scoops by winter) might be summed up as \"boulders and burrows,\" so stony and narrow are the streets, and so low and dark the houses. On the north the town runs up to the edge of an almost sheer descent of over 50 feet. Here under shelter of the wall is a small grass-grown space approached by a covered archway; below this space—the use of which I had not time to learn—lies on the east the residence of the local official. He is, or perhaps it would now be more correct to say was, a \"Manhu,\" or Lieutenant, under the old system. He was still in office when my predecessors of the local press arrived, and the \"Shin Chosen\" describes him, with some acerbity, as \"a dullard close on 50, ignorant of the world, and unable to grasp the main points of any topic discussed.\" The poor man had left before my arrival, and it is to be presumed that no successor will be appointed—none at any rate with his obsolescent title. Under the latest rearrangement, Mokpo forms part of the Prefecture (\"Kun\") of Mu-an, in the Department of Na-ju. When it has been opened as a Treaty port it is probable that the precedent set at Wönsan will be followed, and the Prefect (\"Kun-su\") of Mu-an will be directed to reside at Mokpo.\n\nThe foreshore north of the \"Manhu's\" Yamên will form in time to come an excellent business site, for it abuts on the creek, navigable here all along its eastern face, and it is skirted by the road that runs northward to Mu-an. Behind it are hills on which residences can be built, and in which are the wells that supply the town with water. The lower slopes of the hills are cultivated, and were covered with flourishing crops of cotton, tobacco, maize, and other cereals. There are not many trees except in and about the town, and on the headland I have provisionally called Pine Point. Among these hills are to be found in their season abundance of pheasants, and, farther inland, tigers, panthers, and other dangerous game, while the flats abound with duck and geese. On the whole, Mokpo as a place of residence and settlement shows not less promise than Mokpo as a seaport, and it is to be hoped, and indeed confidently expected, that in not many years from its day of opening it will become one of the principal places of trade in Corea, situated as it is near the centre of a circle on whose circumference lie Chefoo, Chemulpo, Nagasaki, and Shanghae.\n\nWe left Mokpo at 3 P.M., and passing out of the Forks steered south-west by south down Lyne Sound through a maze of lovely islets, some cultivated, all, or nearly all, green with grass and trees. No more delightful place for a cruise in the bright summer weather could be found in Corea, and the southern approaches to Mokpo may challenge comparison with the inland sea of Japan or the Chusan archipelago. We met several fishing craft, all apparently Corean, though this used to be, and doubtless again will be, a favourite fishing ground of the Chinese, as it still is of the Japanese. Lying well in shore under Chindo was a Russian man-of-war, with most of her boats out. Some few miles further south, on the westernmost point of the mainland, a white flag was flying with a single horizontal red stripe. This we assumed to be a Japanese surveying post, for the white marks of a survey are to be seen on the rocks all about the archipelago.\n\nWe were bound for Chei-ju, the \"North City\" of the Quelpart charts, and, as it is not safe to approach the island in the dark, slowed down at nightfall. Quelpart possesses no harbours, for that to the east, Beaufort anchorage, between U-do (“Ox Island\") and the shore, hardly deserves the name. Should a north wind spring up, a vessel riding at anchor off Chei-ju must in many cases run to So-au-do (Creighton Harbour), or to Ku-men-do (Port Hamilton). So it was in the grey dawn that I first saw Quelpart. Sir Edward Belcher, of the Royal Navy, whose officers surveyed its coasts in 1845, declares \n\n[722]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-269 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1895 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 359862, "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": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "page_number": 58, "title": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "content_text": "the enclosed extract from the \"Daily Press\" of this date containing a report of the proceedings at the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new home for women and girls which is about to be built by the Po Leung Kuk Society.\n\nAt the request of the committee of the Society, I consented to perform this pleasing duty.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient humble servant,\nWitham Robinzoy\n\nEnclosure 4.

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

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

An offer of 2 dollars a ton was nevertheless smilingly rejected, and I daresay friends in Canton will enlighten him, and, if occasion arise, take due advantage of his ignorance.\n\n## The revival of the silk industry...\n\nThe revival of the silk industry in this province is of comparatively recent date, and was due to the interest taken therein by Ma Pei-rao, who some ten years ago was Provincial Treasurer for Kuanghsi. It cannot be said that his efforts, on the whole, were crowned with success, as the necessary energy and capital to carry on experiments were lacking. In its neighbourhood, however, the mulberry is very extensively grown, and samples of the silk spun locally have been sent to Europe and America, where it would find a market could the growers be brought to see that it is a suicidal policy to hold out for four or five times the real value of their produce, simply because a foreigner makes inquiry regarding the same.\n\n## The export of cassia...\n\nThe export of cassia in South China is almost entirely in the hands of German firms, and once all initial difficulties have been met and overcome, they will no doubt appear on the scene and, as has been the case all over China, take full advantage of our experience, reap the benefit of our efforts without having had in the least to put themselves about.\n\n## The amount of opium produced...\n\nThe amount of opium produced in this province is insignificant, and comes principally from Chen-an-fu. I have in vain been trying to get reliable particulars regarding the Yunnan opium, which passes through on its way to the coast, but have been promised accurate information from Kueilin later on. The taxation on native opium was last year farmed out to a son of the late Governor-General of Yünnan and Kueichou, Ts'ien Yü-ying, for a sum of 38,000 taels per annum, and the total quantity exported here is, I am told, 10,000 piculs representing about 80 per cent. of the import across the Yunnan frontier. Opium which has paid duty at Pose, on entering the province, and is provided with a certificate, pays 2 taels a picul, and again 14 taels (?) at Toucheng on entering Kuang-tung. Uncertificated opium pays 4 taels a picul. Its local value is 220 taels a picul for the best quality. Retail price of refined opium 2 t. 30 m. per ounce.\n\n## Almost every traveller on the West River...\n\nAlmost every traveller on the West River has made reference to the silver mine at Kuei-hsien, said to have been discovered by the Taipings, and as a cargo of coke was recently imported from Hong Kong for the use of that mine, it would appear that yet another attempt is going to be made to work it.\n\n## Wuchow is not without its local manufactures...\n\nWuchow is not without its local manufactures. Two small factories for making matches were started here a few days ago, but one was closed in consequence of a complaint by the Japanese authorities that it was counterfeiting Japanese trade-marks, and the other finds it practically impossible to compete with the imported article. Nearly every town in China has its own brand of matches. The matches in favour locally bear the \"hunter\" mark, and, although inferior to the \"monkey\" brand, which is in use throughout Kuangtung, possess the superior qualification of containing four matches per box more.\n\n## Note regarding Restrictions on Outward Transit Passes\n\nI have, at the moment of writing, received from His Excellency the Governor a despatch on the subject of the restrictions which the Governor-General proposed to place on outward transit passes.\n\nIt is therein stated that Sir Robert Hart, to whom the Tsung-li Yamên referred the Governor-General's suggestion, had pointed out that, except in the case of cereals, any prohibition of the nature indicated would be contrary to Treaty, and that the Yamên had accordingly requested His Excellency to place no obstacle in the way of applicants for outward transit passes, whether foreigners or Chinese, in order that the objectionable monopolizing practices of the former receive a check and the false representations of the latter be brought to an end.\n\nI question, however, if Chinese merchants will avail themselves to any large extent of this privilege. The risk of undue annoyance and interference is too great.\n\n## So long as the views of experts...\n\nSo long as the views of experts regarding the most suitable type of steamer for use on the West River are held in suspense, it would be presumptuous of me to put forward views of my own, more especially as nothing is accurately known regarding the actual conditions at low water. I venture to think, however, that a steamer about 170 feet long, with very great beam, which will be able to carry 500 tons of cargo on a 4 to 5 foot draught, would not prove unsuitable. Large carrying capacity is imperative, as otherwise expenses will never allow of reasonable rates of freight being charged, and junks will prove serious competitors. Should the building of such a steamer be found impracticable, the only other alternative is the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company's system of large flats or lighters, towed by powerful light draught launches. The latter would be able to drop their tows as required at the various points en route and pick up fresh ones. Thus no time would be lost, the necessity for large go-downs less immediate, and the passengers not, as at present, be huddled together, to make room for cargo. Mr. Marty put in a transient appearance on the river at an early stage, and his large indemnity has doubtless placed an amount of spare capital at his disposal, sufficient to enable him to establish serious competition with existing lines should he feel so disposed. It is rumoured that he is negotiating for the purchase of some land near to that bought by Jardine, Matheson, and Co.\n\n## In addition to the \"pool's\" four steamers...\n\nIn addition to the \"pool's\" four steamers there are some six launches large and small, and a German lorcha, which is towed up and down, running regularly to Wuchow, and each gets a few packages of cargo and a certain proportion of passengers.\n\nOf passengers, the movements to and fro per diem amount on an average to 100 in and 90 out, and thus about 10 per cent. of the arrivals remain here. The complaints of the natives of Wuchow that the large influx of Cantonese has considerably raised the cost of living for them, without affording them any compensatory advantages, are not without justification.\n\n## From a carrier's point of view...\n\nFrom a carrier's point of view, it is a matter of great regret that it should not have been practicable to adopt the route, via Fatshan and Sainam, from Canton to Samshui. The latter port can be reached in six hours by the inland channels and small powered launches, whereas the steamers take from ten to twelve hours, the time occupied by a slipper boat in making the same journey. They are also thereby deprived of their share of the large trade which is carried on by junks between Fatshan, Sainam, and Wuchow. The local agent at Jardine, Matheson, and Co. has endeavoured slightly to remedy this state of things by running a stern wheel junk in connection with the steamers between Fatshan and Samshui, and the experiment is proving eminently successful. One reason for this is that the steamer's bulk is at present moored on the Sainam side of the Samshui li-kin station, and thus the junk's cargo escapes payment of the dues to which it would be subject had it to pass that barrier. It remains to be seen what will happen when the steamers can only come as far as Kongken or when the li-kin authorities discover this innocent evasion of their charges.\n\n## The Customs provisional Regulations...\n\nThe Customs provisional Regulations for trade on the West River having only been published on the 10th instant, sufficient time has not yet elapsed to show to what extent they will enable steamers to participate in the transport carried on by junk between the ports and stages, more especially between Kongmun and Hong Kong and Canton. Those interested may congratulate themselves on the total absence of any reference to supplementary payments of li-kin, as, had such been regulated on the Tariff in force on the Yang-tze, foreign vessels would not have secured a single package. To have made shippers pay duty on that basis would simply have been to mulet them one and a-half Tariff duty for shipping in foreign bottoms. On the Yang-tze, where the distances are great, it may prove advantageous, but certainly not on the short stretches of this river.\n\n## Almost every steamer leaving here...\n\nAlmost every steamer leaving here for Hong Kong takes with it sugar and rhea fibre for Kongmun, where the latter is made up into grass cloth. As I understand that, after many years of experiment, a process has been invented whereby this fibre can be successfully manipulated in Europe, a large export trade therein ought to spring up in the future.\n\n## The Canton steamers get a certain amount...\n\nThe Canton steamers get a certain amount of export cargo, chiefly indigo for Samshui, but practically no import cargo. This, I am told, is due to a practice that has for years been tolerated in Canton, in consequence of which a li-kin boat has been allowed to moor alongside of the Customs examination shed, and, whenever cargo has paid Tariff export duty, it is at once pounced upon and made to pay li-kin as well. Chinese shippers at least say such is, or rather will be the case, should they ship by steamer, and, although often urged to do so, no one has hitherto been bold enough to make a trial shipment.\n\n## I hear that Mr. Wang Ts'un-shan...\n\nI hear that Mr. Wang Ts'un-shan has a scheme whereby he hopes to divert all trade from the foreign customs and the steamers into his own hands by a lowering of native duties and li-kin, but as I am not in possession of the figures I am unable to furnish particulars.\n\n## In connection with what I have stated above...\n\nIn connection with what I have stated above regarding a regular transport service to Nanning, a further argument in its favour is that it would do away with the feeling of insecurity, which merchants at present experience owing to the rascality of the boatmen plying on that section of the river. It is by no means an uncommon occurrence for them to decamp with valuable cargoes intrusted to their care, leaving only the shell of their boats.\n\n[1107 p-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-287 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369425, "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": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "## THE DEFENCE\n\nJag 6 ... aren were ablaze. The Lan On blazed amongst them furiously for about a quarter of an hour, when she blew up with a loud report, the falling timbers setting fire to some of the water-side houses, here built over the water on piles. Mengens reached the Station, but finding the wires had been cut, and seeing a large troop-boat full of men being towed round the point from Deep Water Bay, fired the Station and escaped by the back through the bush the Mount Gough Road.\n\nShots were now heard at the eastern end of the bay, and scouts were making up the hills, firing under the same disadvantages as those at the western. It appeared that about midnight, Constable Lamont, and two Indian Constables from Stanley being on patrol, had arrived at the eastern limit of the Stanley District, the crest of the hill at the eastern end of Deep Water Bay, where to their astonishment they discovered large vessels at anchor. Whilst speculating as to what it could mean they heard shots at the Western end of the Bay, and then the glare of the search lights.\n\nFindlay, the two Indians and the two Chinese, armed with Sniders, proceeded towards Deep Water Bay, where shots were still being exchanged. Hazeland, with McNab and the two other Indians, had gone by road to Deep Water Bay. On arriving at the ridge overlooking the Bay they made out the three vessels, and lights showed the bay alive with boats. Lamont at once grasped the situation and rushing down with his two men, from the bushes, within 30 yards of the landing crowds, they fired twice into them, before their skirmishers ran for their cover. Eutant, an old poucher, however, made his escape, and, ably seconded by the two Indians, Fatty Dad and Hirpaul Singh, continued firing at the exposed landing party till their ten rounds of ammunition were expended. Hirpaul Singh then returned to Stanley, and the others made their way up to Wongneichong Gap, whilst the transports were searching the empty bushes of the golf links with grape from their bow and stern guns over the heads of the men landing.\n\nHazeland, who took his rifle, was shortly afterwards hit in the ankle, and had to be left where he lay close to the road, where his body was afterwards found bayoneted by the enemy. Even if he had worn a uniform it is doubtful if his fate would have been otherwise, for the enemy were doubtless exasperated at the execution done.\n\nActing Sergeant Lall Singh was shot (the first man to be killed at the fall of Hong Kong). This man had been one of the Jubilee contingent sent to London.\n\nThree ... The first wire from Aberdeen 'large ships showing no lights gone into Deep Water Bay,' was received at the Central Police Station in Victoria at 10.55 p.m. Hannah, Inspector on duty, at once roused Acting Deputy Superintendent Mackie, who promptly despatched messengers to Colonel Rordon, commanding the West Borks at Murray Barracks, the Commodore, Colonel Tristful (of the Hongkong Regiment) at Kowloon, and Capt. Limmonds R.A., at the McGregor Barracks. Telephonic messages were sent to the Gap and Mount Gough Police Stations, directing that H. E. the Governor, Sir W. Jones, Major-General Bilsoue White, the Captain Superintendent of Police, Major Sir John Harrington (Commandant of the Volunteers), Colonel Yardhill, C.R.E., Colonel Melformian, D.A.A.G, (the Laird of Lamlash), and all the Military Officers at the Peak should be called, also the party of Engineers making the alterations in the Mount Austin Barracks, after which the outlying soldier officers, and all British householders to be roused. Every available man to be turned out forthwith to carry out these orders.\n\nFrom Murray Barracks to Wongnoichong Gap is four miles, as you know the last two a very steep pull up from the village; but Rordon and the 192 men he had with him reached the crest as the clock-tower in Victoria proclaimed midnight. Breathing his men, who arrived streaming with perspiration, for a few minutes in the Gap, he sent Barry Brew's company down by the short cut through the jungle to hold the eastern side, whilst with Brice's company he went down to bar the road and western side. Messengers and telephonic despatches (till communication ceased) were sent to all Volunteers in Victoria, Kowloon and at the Hung Hom Docks. A mounted Sikh was sent to rouse the British at Quarry Bay. Notices were sent to the three British Clubs. Mr Riley, the tramway engineer, was directed to hold the line at the disposal of the Military, at the same time two European Constables were sent to the hut above Bowen Road to guard the pointsmen if necessary, or shoot him if he proved treacherous.\n\nMackie also rang-up the Engineer and Artillery messes (repeating the Aberdeen message), and all Police Stations in the City, giving orders to call Major Hills of the West Borks and all soldier officers at East and West Points. Communication with Shaukiwan was found to have ceased, so a Police pinnace was despatched to that village, ordering Inspector Hall to acquaint Captain Furney, R. A., at Lyemun barracks. A pinnace was also sent to warn Lt. Huzzard, R. A., at Stonecutters Island.\n\nHardly had Brew's company disappeared in the trees when the shots fired by McNab and his men at the beach were heard. Thanking God he was in time, Rordon was doubling down the road when the reports of Lamont's fire and the replies they drew were heard also, after which the search lights exposing the men on the road, the Sumtoff began firing shell from the fore-castle gun at the road, killing two men at the third round. Rordon at once sent the right half company into the bush above the road and made the others lie down behind the curve just beyond the third bridge, where they were sheltered by a spur from the fire of the transports.\n\nIn ten minutes the Assembly was sounding in every Barrack in Victoria and signal rockets were being fired from Scandal Point to warn the Hongkong Regiment and the ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 371091, "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": "CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4]", "page_number": 693, "title": "CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4]", "content_text": "18\n\nCANTONESE.\n\nGood-bye .Hà hang lái\n\n好行拉\n\nHARKA.\n\nHau hang.\n\nCome and see me...Loi kin ngo\n\n來見我\n\nLoi ken ngai.\n\nWhat time is it? 幾點鐘\n\nKi tim chung m\n\nKe to tem chung.\n\nFive o'clock.......Ng tim chung...\n\nNg tem chung.\n\nHalf past six Lak túm pún..............\n\nLuk tem chung.\n\nWhat place is this ?

You should therefore proceed in person to the various villages, and, after convening the gentry and elders, you should carefully explain to them that this Kowloon Extension has been carried out in accordance with Imperial Edict, and that England has promised that on no account shall the natives be subjected to any harsh treatment. As everything is quiet outside the extension, how can people venture to disobey the Edict by creating disturbances, thus showing disregard for their lives and persons? If they are people from other districts who have come with weapons in their hands to swell the trouble, such a proceeding is still more unreasonable. You should without delay issue a Proclamation, so as to make the people abandon their evil courses and again become law-abiding subjects. As regards the details of present occurrences, you must at once send a special messenger to ascertain and report them. Do not delay for an instant, or you will be to blame. For every day you are in office you have a day's responsibility of which you cannot divest yourself. Tremble at these urgent and special instructions.\n\nApril 18, 1899.\n\nViceroy's Instructions to the Hsin-an Hsien.\n\nbut On the 19th instant I sent instructions to you by special messenger, you Your Report of the have not yet reported the details of the late occurrences. 19th instant, which only came to hand yesterday, is wanting in clearness.\n\nIt has been agreed that there shall not be the slightest hardship imposed upon the inhabitants of the area leased to the English, and voluminous Proclamations have been issued to that effect. Should any such hardships be imposed, there would be no harm in the sufferers coming to me with their cases, and awaiting their discussion with the British Government. But the natives at Ta-pu Hsü, in a moment of indignation, have suddenly commenced a strife, which, by making them homeless, has occasioned misery to the aged, the young, and the women, whose pitiable condition baffles description. The young and robust farm hands are wasting their time and ruining their prospects at the very moment when agriculture most claims their attention, and, after all, what is the use of subjecting their own flesh and blood to the murderous fire of rifles and cannon? My repeated instructions have been ignored, and I cannot understand how the popular infatuation can have reached such a pitch. There must be some moving spirit at the bottom of this, and how is it that you, the Magistrate, being in close relations with the people, do not seem to realize that there are honest gentry and elders to whom all the villagers look up, and whom you should invite to carefully devise measures for bringing the people to a proper sense of their duties, so that their lives may be preserved intact? By following such a course not only will you be doing your duty as an official, but you will also be laying up for yourself a store of happiness without measure.\n\nAs in duty bound, I have again to order you to act in conformity with my repeated instructions, and, without fail, to send in a further Report.\n\n[Instructions in a similar strain were sent on the same date to the Tung Kuan and Kuei Shan Hsiens.] April 26, 1899.\n\nReport of the Hsin-an Hsien.\n\nThe Hsin-an Hsien respectfully makes the following representation:-- On the 18th April an action took place between foreign troops and natives at Shih Tou Wei village, during which some twenty or thirty natives and several foreign soldiers were killed or wounded. The two wooden barriers of the village of Chin Tien were destroyed, and a licentiate, named Teng Chü-lin, was taken to Hong Kong, but was released shortly afterwards. On the 19th the people tendered their submission. On the 20th the British officials issued a Proclamation to tranquillize the people, and obliged the villagers of Yuan Lang, as well as the employés in the various shops, to work at the construction of forts. On the 21st April they took the licentiate Wu Ch'i-ch'ang, who was also released soon afterwards. Four dwelling-houses were burnt here, and several at Ping Shan. On the 22nd April the natives of the leased area began by degrees to return to their villages, and people are already a little more at ease in their minds. This may be sufficient to allay your Excellency's anxiety. The Deputy Magistrate, Chang Yun-wu, arrived yesterday, and has gone in the direction of Ta-pa Hsu to institute minute and searching inquiries. I have reported these occurrences to his Excellency the Governor, and I now respectfully draw up this Report for your Excellency's information.\n\nApril 28, 1899.\n\nKowloon-Canton Railway.\n\nThe Viceroy attempted to stave off the survey of that part of the Kowloon-Canton line between Canton city and the British boundary, on the plea of unrest in the neighbourhood of Shamshun, but it was well known that this was a mere excuse to delay the undertaking to which he is opposed. It was accordingly made clear to him that he would be held responsible for the expense occasioned by the delay, and this induced a change of attitude. A Deputy, named Yin Pei-lin, was appointed, and this gentleman met the engineer, Mr. Large, at the Consulate on the 1st May to arrange as to route, escort, &c. The surveying party left Canton on the 4th May, accompanied by the Deputy and escort.\n\nRelations with Chinese Officials.\n\nThe Viceroy has displayed much obstinacy in all the negotiations connected with the taking over of the new territory. At the interview with the Governor of Hong Kong on the 2nd April he absolutely declined to take any steps towards the removal of the Customs stations, insisting that such a removal was not within the scope of the original Convention agreed upon by the British Minister and the Tsung-li Yamên. He promised to protect the temporary mat-sheds which had been erected for the accommodation of the police, but altogether failed to do so.\n\n(Signed) G. D.

Preparatory to the formal proceedings, a photograph of the company was taken. Afterwards, the Rev. T. W. Pearce opened the proceedings, and said—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ho Tung, the large-hearted, public-spirited donor of the Kowloon School, has done me the honour of asking me to take part in this afternoon's proceedings. Mine is the pleasing duty of saying at the outset, in a few words, which the Inspector of Schools—who is now on his way to Europe on furlough—would have said with more point, and to more good purpose, that your Excellency's presence here to-day, to perform this function of opening the Kowloon School, is highly gratifying to all friends of education in the Colony. To the Kowloon residents, the occasion that brings us together is specially auspicious. They derive much satisfaction from the fact that this building, the foundation stone of which was laid two years ago by Sir Henry Blake, is to be formally opened to-day by your Excellency. There is a phrase of Lord Brougham that has become historic—a phrase that has to do with education—\"Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do nothing in this age. There is another personage, a personage less imposing in the eyes of some, perhaps insignificant. The schoolmaster is abroad and I trust him, armed with his primer, against the soldier.\" When we in this Colony link in our thought the soldier with the schoolmaster, it will not be that we may set the one against the other. It will be our pride to remember that so distinguished a soldier\n\nWAS\n\nZ019\n\nso true a friend to the school-master. The school which your Excellency is to receive, on behalf of the Colony, from the hand of Mr. Ho Tung, marks a new departure in the history of education in Hongkong. It is a school to provide education for children of European parentage. The principle on which the school is based is that the plan of instruction must be suited to the station of the pupils, the views of parents, the genius of the children. Nationality, constitution, and inclination alike have been consulted. It is felt to be of the first importance that these children, destined we trust to remain in Hongkong and to occupy useful, it may be superior, stations here, should enjoy such advantages as this school is well-fitted to afford. This, sir, is the principle conceded by the Government, subject to the approval of His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies. It would not be possible in the time allotted to me to trace the history of the movement extending over a number of years that has led up to this Kowloon School. That movement will form a not uninstructive chapter in the story of education in this Colony. It is timely, however, to remind ourselves that right views of education are developed gradually and that methods have to be tested step by step before they can be pronounced sound. When the British flag was first hoisted on this island, education of the kind contemplated in this school scarcely existed in the Homeland. Far-reaching changes and marvellous progress in this science have characterised the last sixty years. It is not too much to say that the whole system of primary education in England has grown up during the last sixty years. There is one point of comparison that suggests itself to me, and it will serve as an illustration of education in Hongkong. As I understand it, the law of England at the time when this Colony became a British possession is the law of Hongkong to-day, with such additions, changes, and omendations as have been found necessary from time to time as years have gone by. The course of education has been analogous. At an early period in the history of Hongkong, certain educational facilities were placed within the reach of all, and the school system established then has been maintained and improved\n\nin a manner creditable for the most part to all concerned in its working, when the many-sided aspects of this question in a cosmopolitan a community are kept in view. Its advance has not been so rapid as some have thought to be desirable and practicable, the fact is due to conditions which rendered the problem peculiarly intricate. We believe the present school to be thoroughly up to date, both as regards the building itself and the instruction to be carried on within it; and we shall all watch with keen sympathetic interest the work of education on these new lines. Your Excellency, according to the request of the Government to make this a school for European children only, Mr. Ho Tung has put himself by imagination and sympathy in the place of a section of the community to which he does not himself belong. In doing so, he has, I think, set an example of broad-minded liberality which we shall do well to imitate. It is seemly and fitting that I make this acknowledgment. If Mr. Ho Tung consents that his school be for European children on condition that the Government builds at Yaumati a similar school for Chinese children, he does something to unite two sections of this community in good-will and kindly relations which I trust we shall all do our best to maintain. Education is a sphere where such relations can be cultivated to advantage. Let us say ungrudgingly and unhesitatingly that we will do our best for the education\n\nWe\n\nof all, under the best conditions, even if like Mr. Ho Tung we have to give up something in order to accomplish our purpose.

No provision, on the other hand, is made for ship-owners paying similar taxes, &c. to their Chinese neighbours. The wording of some of the other Rules is similarly confused, and in each case this is the result of mutual compromises; on the other hand, others are simply unnecessary; as, however, the Chinese appeared to attach importance to their insertion, I agreed to accept them in return for substantial concessions to us. The confusion, however, is much more apparent than real; a close examination will show that the Chinese concessions to us are clearly laid down, and when the new arrangement comes into operation, they will be embodied in a clear form in the various circulars issued by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\nIn the case of Rule 7, I reported to your Lordship in my despatch No. 105 of the 16th ultimo, the original Chinese proposal; if the Article be compared therewith it will be seen that by means of saving clauses the attempt to restrict the original British rights has been rendered nugatory.\n\nViceroy Liu wished to have inserted a provision obliging inland navigation steamers to carry Chinese post-office mails free of charge and no other mails; of course, it was impossible for me to assent to this, but I endeavoured to meet him half way by proposing the insertion of the following words:\n\n\"British steamers trading on the inland waters of China will, as far as possible, give facilities to the Imperial Chinese post-office for the transmission of mail matter on such conditions as may be mutually agreed upon between the owners or masters of the steamers and the Imperial Chinese post-office; and, with the exception of such mails as may be placed on board by a British Consul or in steamers' box provided for ships', shippers, and consignees' letters, they will neither receive mail matter from nor carry it for any individual or establishment except the Chinese Imperial Post-office, where such offices exist and function,\" which would not have been restrictive except as regards private mails where Chinese postal arrangements existed. Consular mails would have preserved their former privileges.\n\nThis proposal was accepted provisionally by the Commissioners and Viceroys and referred to Peking, but as the Peking authorities would not reply, the Chinese Commissioners informed me that they could not make up their minds whether they would finally accept it or reject it until the 31st ultimo. As it had originally been decided that the Treaty should be signed on the 30th ultimo, this indecision rendered it necessary to have two different editions of the Treaty: one with the provision inserted, and the other without it; the Commissioners promising that, if I was ready to sign on that date, they would, if still left without instructions, make up their minds at the last moment.\n\nIt will be seen that the matter has ended by the provision being left out, and I have the honour to transmit the translation of a note from the Commissioners informing me of the final decision of the Chinese Government.\n\nYour Lordship will perceive that all the fresh concessions to us in the Rules are contained in Articles I, VIII, and IX, to which, perhaps, X may be added, as it gives a Treaty position to the original Rules, which cannot now be altered without our consent. Hitherto China has claimed the right to alter the Inland Steam Navigation Rules at will.\n\nAs regards the decennial revision of the Tariff, I succeeded, but only after much discussion, in inducing the Commissioners to abandon their demand for the inclusion of the text of the Treaty in this provision.\n\nA small change has been made in Article XIV, at the desire of the Viceroy. Only twenty-one days' notice need be given by the Chinese authorities before stopping the movement of grain, but I have been careful to insert a provision by which a specially chartered vessel arriving at her loading port prior to or on the day of the issue of the prohibition shall have the right to continue loading for the period of a week after arrival. This change, therefore, gives back to us with one hand what it takes away with the other.\n\nSome difficulty has been caused by the question of the importation of morphia. When the new Specific Tariff was being drawn up, the Chinese appealed to be allowed to put a heavy duty, amounting to considerably more than 5 per cent., on morphia, so as to restrict, as far as possible, the importation of this drug, which is having, through its wrong use, a most baneful effect on the Chinese. As the other foreign Commissioners appeared disposed to agree, I thought it advisable to give my adhesion also.\n\n* It was originally one month.\n\n3 \n\nLater, however, I was approached with a view to my assent being given in the Treaty to total prohibition, except for medicinal purposes. Eventually, with your Lordship's sanction, I consented to do so. That being so, it is obvious that all the reasons for a heavy duty will eventually disappear, as morphia can only be imported for medicinal purposes if the other Powers agree to our morphia Article.\n\nI have therefore endeavoured to obtain from the Chinese the reduction of the excessive duty, but unfortunately without result, as it was impossible to delay any further the signing of the Tariff. The matter is a small one, however, and it can no doubt be arranged if the prohibition Article comes into operation.\n\nThe Commissioners expressed to me their anxiety lest the words \"permanently abolished,\" in section 1 of Article VIII, should be construed as signifying that even if the present Treaty were abrogated, China would still not have the right to levy li-kin; they said they feared that their enemies might take the opportunity of impeaching them to the Throne on the ground that they had not taken proper care of Chinese interests, and they begged me to furnish them with a statement in writing to the effect that the above-mentioned view was not the one taken on the British side.\n\nI saw no objection to consenting to this, and have the honour to enclose herein copies of the despatches which have been exchanged on the subject.\n\nI also have the honour to enclose copies of correspondence with the Chinese Commissioners relative to the wording of Article IX in regard to Mining Regulations.\n\nYour Lordship will not be surprised to hear that a large portion of my time since our return from Wuchang has been occupied, not only in dealing with the above-mentioned points, but also in defending concessions already agreed to by China, or in rejecting fresh proposals (sometimes of an almost ludicrous character) designed with a view to restricting existing British privileges. I have not reported all the negotiations on these points at length, as the suggestions appeared often not to be made seriously, but merely with a view to the Commissioners feeling their way in regard to my attitude towards the various points, or in order to balance some demand made by me, and thus induce me to abandon that demand.\n\nThe fact that practically there have been, besides the Grand Council and Throne, five Chinese negotiators to deal with, the two Viceroys, and two Commissioners and the Wai-wu Pu, each with different views, of whom only two have been on the spot, has naturally made the process of coming to a decision on the Chinese side very slow.\n\nI now come to the negotiations as to the apportionment of the surtaxes. (See my despatch No. 102 of the 8th instant.)\n\nThe Commissioners duly drafted a Memorial, and obtained my concurrence before sending it to the Viceroys for their signature. I forwarded to your Lordship in my telegram No. 92 A of the 1st September the translation of the Memorial as it had been shown then to me.\n\nYour Lordship will no doubt have noticed that the wording is not as clear as might be wished, but I felt convinced that if I had insisted on an explicit statement that the whole of the proceeds of the surtaxes were to go to the provinces first, without also definitely specifying that they were to continue as before to furnish their quotas to Peking to make up for the Peking supplies contributed now out of li-kin, and without holding out any hope to the Central Government that the latter would receive compensation for the loss of transit dues, the Throne would (especially in view of the dearth of funds to meet the indemnity payments) have refused to sanction the Memorial.\n\nOn the other hand, if these points had been exhaustively dealt with, a handle would have been given to the Central Government for squeezing the provinces unduly under cover of actual Treaty provisions.\n\nMoreover, circumstances had altered considerably as regards the stringent necessity for protecting the provincial revenues. Originally, when the Agreement was tentatively made with Sheng, it was proposed that the Imperial Maritime Customs should collect the whole of the surtaxes, but at Wuchang, at the instance of the Viceroy, arrangements were made whereby the provincial authorities will be able to collect directly the whole of the export surtax and, in the case of silk, part of the export duty. The financial resources obtainable in this way, coupled with the proceeds of the consumption tax, will, therefore, be of considerable help to the provincial authorities.\n\nAs regards the disposal of the salt li-kin, I have already reported at length to your Lordship in my despatch No. 102, of the 8th ultimo, the reason that induced me to consent to the omission of any reference to it in the Memorial and Edict, namely, that I found during my visit up the Yang-tsze that salt li-kin formed an integral part of the general salt revenue, and was, therefore, pledged to the service of the indemnity.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-314 - Public Offices - 1902.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 386989, "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": "CO129-314 - Public Offices - 1902", "page_number": 444, "title": "CO129-314 - Public Offices - 1902", "content_text": "## Article VIII\n\nSec. 10.

BERKELEY (ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE)\n\n##### THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL - SENTENCE OF DEATH\n\nThe trial was continued of Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Fan who was charged with the murder of a Reformer schoolmaster at 52, Gage Street on 10th January, 1901.\n\nMr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney-General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nChan Wan, who had been under examination when the Court rose on the previous night, was again put in the witness-box. He said he was employed at present as a cook on board the `Zafiro`. He knew the prisoner, who was nicknamed \"Sow\" (\"jutting teeth\") by reason of the peculiar formation of his teeth. Witness's brother Chan Lam Tsai was a member of the gang, and was executed because two letters were found in his possession by Li Ka Chuk. Witness had seen and read the letters, which did not relate to the murder directly, simply asking his brother to come down to Hongkong from Canton, as the Government of Hongkong wanted him. One of the letters was sent by \"Mai\" (the Chinese for Mr. May, then Captain Superintendent of Police). Witness was present at the execution of his brother, whose head was cut off on the Honam side of Canton. He remembered the murder of Yeung Kue Wan, and during the few months preceding it, witness was living at Canton with his brother, who rented the house and lived in it with his family. His brother was a soldier and a gambler - a soldier when times were busy and a gambler when they were slack. Li Ka Chuk, the mandarin, was the head of the Chuk regiment. Ko Ping Shan, whom witness knew, was one of Chuk's soldiers, called at witness's brother's house on 6th January, 1901, and the two - the brother and Ko Ping Shan - had a conversation, after which they went to Li Ka Chuk's barracks. When he came back, he had a conversation with Tung Cheung, the other man living in the house, and very early next morning all three - witness, his brother, and Tung Cheung - went to Chuk's barracks. Witness remained outside, but the other two went in and later on sent for him. When he entered, he saw the captain of the `Kin Yai` and the other two besides one of Li Ka Chuk's braves and a fourth member of the gang named Tsui.\n\nCross-examination continued - The pilot did not ask the witness to leave the room when he was discussing the project, in which the accused asked him to participate. His reason for not joining in it was that he was too busy with the cooking, and he did not make a report to the police because prisoner threatened to kill him if he did.\n\nRe-examined - The prisoner was arrested long before the police came to see him.\n\nChan Wan said he met the gang in Canton after the murder. Witness's elder brother, Lam Tsai, stated that he entered the house first and did the actual shooting. Tung Chung accompanied him. Tsui Fuk and the prisoner remained outside. Three of the gang received the greater part of the money reward; these were the prisoner, who got $2,000; Lam Tsai $2,000, and Tung Chung $2,000. He did not know what the other man received. These three also got buttons of the fifth rank, along with about twenty others. Witness saw two of the diplomas of rank, one in the possession of his elder brother Lam Tsai and one in the possession of Tung Chung. He produced and identified the patent, which belonged to his elder brother; it bore the date 30th January, 1901. The patent was sealed with the viceregal seal of Viceroy Tak. It stated that Chau Tai Oa (the official name of Chan Lam Tsai) had exerted himself in the arrest of the leader of the Ko-lo Society and other members of secret societies, and great credit was due to him.\n\nCross-examined - Before the death of Yeung Kue Wan, prisoner was unknown to him. Prisoner was not present at the house of his brother and at Li Ka Chuk's barracks in Canton. It was Li Ka Chuk who instructed his brother to carry out the murder.\n\nKong Ngau Ying, a fishmonger from Yaumati, deposed that he first met the prisoner on 8th January, 1901, at West Point with Lam Tsai and others. There they went into a brothel. He knew Lam Tsai. Afterwards, he learned that two of the others along with the prisoner were Tung Chung and Tsui Fuk. He saw prisoner again on 10th January at West Point in the Street; along with him were Chan Lam Tsai, Tung Chung, and Tsui Fuk. They took witness to an eating-house. After that, they went to the house of Ng La Sam, whom he had known. Li Chi Tin, between ten and twenty years, secretary to Li Ka Chuk, was there; also a man named Yeung Ching Kai, captain of the `Ai Yu`. Li Chi Tin asked him whether he \"wished to go or not.\" Witness asked \"Go where?\" Li Chi Tin replied \"To go to shoot Yeung Kue Wan.\" Witness said he was not going. Prisoner and the others were all present. Li Chi Tin then said \"Why don't you go? there is a reward of between $10,000 and $21,000 and you will get an appointment as a mandarin\"; adding that the reward would come from Viceroy Tak. Li Chi Tin explained that Yeung Kue Wan was the \"emperor\" of the Waichou rebellion.\n\n| Name | Role |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Fan | Accused |\n| Chan Lam Tsai | Brother of Chan Wan, member of the gang, executed |\n| Tung Chung | Member of the gang |\n| Tsui Fuk | Member of the gang |\n| Li Ka Chuk | Mandarin, head of the Chuk regiment |\n| Viceroy Tak | Viceroy who offered the reward |\n\nThe jury retired to consider their verdict at 4:50, returning to the Court at 5 o'clock.\n\nThe Foreman announced that the jury unanimously found the prisoner guilty.\n\nHis Lordship addressing the prisoner said - \"You have been found guilty of the murder of Yeung Kue Wan. If when you said that you did not commit the murder, you meant that it was not by your hand that this man met his death, then your statement was true. The charge against you is not that you yourself did the deed, but that you were one of a gang of four men who went to his house for the purpose of killing him and did kill him.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court therefore was that he be taken from hence to the place from whence he came and from thence on a day to be hereafter fixed to the place of execution; and that there he be hanged by the neck until he be dead, and that thereafter his body be buried in such a place as the Governor may direct, and 'may the Lord have mercy on his soul.\n\nAs the prisoner was removed from the dock, he exclaimed, \"It is a false accusation.\"\n\nThe Acting, Attorney-General said he wished to draw his Lordship's attention specially to the services of Sergeant O'Sullivan, who had had charge of this case from the beginning and had collected all the evidence in the case.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General in addressing the jury said his friend on the other side had asked every witness why he did not tell the police of the plot to murder Yeung Kue Wan, and each one had answered that he was afraid of the Chinese Government.\n\nHis Lordship in summing up said the defence of the evidence for the Crown was based on this - that if it had been as the witnesses said, they would have gone to the police or ought to have gone to the police and saved the man Yeung Kue Wan.\n\nThe jury would be justified in accepting it as a fact that he would not have been able to call witnesses to prove that he was not in Hongkong at the time witnesses said he was.\n\nThe Court adjourned.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 389331, "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": "CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10]", "page_number": 234, "title": "CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10]", "content_text": "## \nActing on your Excellency's instructions, we also took blood from as many persons as possible, and sent the slides to Dr. HUNTER for examination.\n\nWe were successful in getting about 150 slides in all at different times from men, women, and children; a number of these also contained Plague bacillus.

The occupants were removed to No. 76 Second Street after disinfecting their clothing and furniture.\n\nThe following day, 12th May, a woman named LEUNG SIN was reported sick from the ground floor.\n\nThe occupants of this floor were also removed to No. 76 Second Street, except the husband and uncle of the patient.\n\nOn the 19th May, the uncle, CHUN KUM, who remained to look after the woman in No. 4 Sheung Fung Lane reported sick.

This man originally came from No. 4 Sheung Fung Lane, ground floor. He was attended to by a woman named WONG SAM, who also came from No. 4 Sheung Fung Lane. The other occupants were then removed to No. 74 Second Street. He died on the 15th of May.\n\nThe following morning, the 16th May, the woman WONG SAM also reported sick.

Troops then appeared upon the scene, and, although the volunteers were anxious to attack and exterminate the band, the military officials counselled delay, with the result that next morning the troops, to the consternation of the volunteers, occupied the refuge—the band, through the connivance of the military officials, having escaped overnight. The volunteers were naturally very much incensed, and the result was that two of the military officers concerned were brought here and publicly executed, by command of the Viceroy. The theory of Boxer invulnerability was also rudely shaken by the death of one of the leaders, who was shot by the volunteers.\n\nAt an interview which I had with the Viceroy on the 7th instant, his Excellency assured me that there was no longer any disorder in the province, and that he had taken measures to prevent a recrudescence of the trouble. He had divided up each place into wards of ten families, with a superintending Headman, who is held responsible for the good behaviour of the other nine houses; and that it was his intention to remove all ineffective officials and replace them by men of energy and ability. He said that one of the great sources of disorder was the constant changing of officials, who, owing to their short tenure of office, were necessarily ignorant of what was taking place within their jurisdictions; and that it was his intention, as long as he remained in Szechuan, to keep his subordinates at their posts until they failed in their duty. His Excellency impressed me as being a man who is anxious to do his best for his province, and frankly told me that he is liked by the people but hated by the officials. He made the same remark in the presence of fifteen officials when I dined with him on the 14th instant.\n\nDuring the interview, I took the opportunity of referring to the statements in the foreign press regarding impending trouble in Kansu and Shensi, but his Excellency ridiculed the idea, saying that they were idle rumours, that he knew Tung Fu-hsiang well, and that he had no fear of any trouble in that quarter. He seemed sincere, and advised me, when I heard any rumours of the sort, to come to him, and he would soon tell me whether they were true or false.\n\nIt may be an exaggeration to say that his Excellency is hated by all his subordinates, but he has undoubtedly very bitter foes in the French, who find in him a man whom they are unable to coerce. I understand that the French Mission have lodged a demand for an indemnity of 2,200,000 taels, of which 2,000,000 taels are for the destruction of Mission property and 200,000 taels are for the lives of 2,000 converts alleged to have been massacred last year. The French Bishop demands payment by the Viceroy, whereas the latter insists that it is a matter for the local authorities to investigate and settle. The French, as I understand the situation, declare that no investigation is necessary, as they have already done so themselves. This is a striking contrast to the American claim of 6,525 taels, which was promptly paid locally.\n\nWith part of the proceeds of their last indemnity of 3,000,000 taels, the French missionaries are building hospitals at their chief centres in Szechuan, and the French Colonial Office is supplying these hospitals with military doctors. French Sisters (five for each hospital) are to act as nurses. A French school for imparting Western learning to Chinese was opened at Chungking on the 13th instant. Some have already arrived.\n\nWhen at Hsü-chou Fu, on my way up from Chungking, I made inquiries as to the alleged wholesale buying of land by the French missionaries at that place. It was stated some time ago in the press that this land which they had acquired was intended for the terminus of a railway from Yunnan into Szechuan; but the whole purchase amounts to only five plots of land (the most valuable costing merely 500 taels), situated at long intervals, for a distance of 22 li, to the west of the Nan-kuang River—a southern tributary of the Yang-tsze. The south bank of the Yang-tsze opposite Hsü-chou Fu (or \"Sui Fu,\" as it is called locally) is the only available land suitable for building purposes in the neighbourhood of the city, and the plots were bought in anticipation of Hsu-chou Fu being made an open port by the Commercial Treaty of last year, and as a purely commercial speculation.\n\nFour officers belonging to the French gun-boat \"Olry,\" now at Chungking, are at present engaged on a survey of the Yang-tsze from Ichang to Hsü-chou Fu. They commenced at Wan Hsien towards the end of December, and two are working down and two up-river.\n\nThe Japanese are exceedingly active in Western China, and even in Thibet. Chungking, Hat-chou Fu, and Chengtu.\n\nLast year, a Mr. N. Narita succeeded in reaching Lhassa from the Indian side. He went disguised as a Chinese merchant and had only one Chinese companion. His presence was known to the Chinese Imperial Resident, or Amban, who, I am informed, received the traveller as a guest and was good enough to show him all over the city during his twenty days' stay in the capital. He was so unfortunate as to lose his camera, but was able to make drawings of all he required. He returned by way of India, and is now in Japan planning a second journey into Thibet.\n\nCaptain Idogawa, a Japanese Military Intelligence Officer, resident at Chungking, started with three other Japanese on the 2nd instant, with the intention of making a journey through Yunnan to Bhamo. He travels up the Yang-tsze and proposes to do the land part of the journey on foot, passing south through northern Yünnan to Yunnan Fu, and thence west by way of Tali Fu. He will return by a different route through Yunnan, and cross Kueichou on his way back to Chungking.\n\nThe Chinese Military Academy here, which is capable of accommodating 200 students, is completed, and Captain Matsura and two Japanese instructors are ready to commence work. The register is now open in the Academy for the enrolment of students for examination, and the 28th February has been fixed as the date of opening. The Viceroy will himself examine the candidates, and the qualifications called for are respectability, a fair education, a robust constitution, and suitable age. It is distinctly laid down that no opium smoker need present himself.\n\nMr. Tokimaru, the Japanese Consul at Chungking, recently paid a visit of about a month's duration to Chengtu, leaving in the last days of January. The main object of his visit was to try and induce the Viceroy to place the Arsenal here under Japanese management; but his Excellency refused, stating that, although he would have no objection to a Japanese foreman at a wage of about 100 dollars to 120 dollars a-month, the management must remain in Chinese hands.\n\nA German Commercial Mission, although it repudiates that title, is at present here. It is composed of Dr. Betz, Acting German Consul at Ichang, who is also Acting Consul at Chungking; Dr. Delius, German Commercial Attaché, attached to the Shanghae Consulate; and Mr. Landgrav of the firm of Messrs. Carlowitz and Co. These gentlemen, with a train of seventy bearers and porters, and several Chinese assistants, left Ichang in the beginning of December last, and, travelling by the south bank of the Yang-tsze, arrived at Chungking on the last day of the year. They remained a week in Chungking, and left on the 7th January for Chengtu, travelling by way of Ho Chou and the prefectural cities of Shun-ching, Pao-ning, and Tung-ch'uan. They reached the provincial capital on the 30th ultimo, and are leaving for Kuan Hsien and Ya-chou Fu in a couple of days. From Ya-chou, they will descend the Ya and Tung Rivers and return to Ichang by the Min River and the Yang-tsze. They are making a careful study of the commerce and commercial conditions and possibilities of the country through which they pass, and are specially interested in the pushing of German aniline dyes, notably indigo, and in investigating the subject of Chinese medicines. They were present, like myself, at the dinner given by the Viceroy on the 14th instant, the only foreign guest being Dr. Legendre, who is attached to the French Mission Hospital. Dr. Betz has hinted to me that Germany will, in all probability, send a gun-boat to the Upper Yang-tsze during the present year.\n\nIt is reported here that things are not going smoothly with the Chinese in Thibet. There is said to be trouble on the frontier in the neighbourhood of Batang and Litang, and that the Chinese Assistant Resident is returning to China on account of the treatment he has been receiving at the hands of the Thibetans.\n\nAt the same time, missionaries report that, of late, there has been a tendency, hitherto unknown, on the part of Thibetans to become better acquainted with foreigners and their ways, and they hint that Russian intrigue may account for it; but, as yet, I have been unable to discover whether the rumoured Treaty with Russia in regard to Thibet has any foundation in fact.\n\nUp to January of the present year, the French had three mining Concessions in Szechuan:—\n\n1. For coal and iron in the districts and department of Kuan Hsien, Wei-yüan Hsien, Chien-wei Hsien, Chi-chiang Hsien, Pa Hsien, and Ho Chou.\n\n2. For the five metals in the department and independent sub-Prefecture of Tien-ch'üan Chou and Mou-kung Ting.\n\n3. The exclusive right to prospect for petroleum in the districts of Wan Hsien and Pa Hsien, or any other two districts throughout the whole of the Province of Szechuan, exclusive of Fu-shun Hsien, in which the great brine and petroleum wells of the province are situated.\n\n3", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391287, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 248, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n244\n\nC.O.\n\n30309\n\nSOUTH-WEST CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n\"C\n\n(No. 5.)\n\nMy Lord,\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[June 8.]\n\nThe SECTION 14 AUG OF\n\nActing Consul Litton to the Marquess of Lansdowne,.(Received June 8.)\n\nYunnan-fu, April 6, 1903.\n\nI HAVE the honour to submit a Report, with sketch maps, on a journey in North-west Yunnan, which I performed last winter.\n\nAlmost all the country described is within the sphere of British commercial or political interest.\n\nIf your Lordship should direct that this Report be printed, I should be glad to receive six copies for use in Yünnan.\n\nI have, &c.

The average distance from the main road north to the Yang-tsze is 100 miles, and the drop is about 2,000 feet. Along the line of the main road, there is a series of valleys and plateaux (Yunnan Hsien, Chu Hsiung, Chen Nan, &c.), but further north, great ranges of mountains, running north and south, generally confine the streams in narrow defiles or valleys. The rush of water down this slope into the Yang-tsze during the rains is tremendous, and is a main cause of the rapid rise of the river at Sui-fu in August. The lines of main-trade communication in this country have naturally run north and south, and not east and west, but I resolved to commence my journey by taking a line to Ta Li, roughly equi-distant from the Yang-tsze and from the Burmah high road.\n\nLeaving Yünnan-fu by the North Gate on the 16th November, 1902, and proceeding over the plain for 5 miles, we crossed a limestone and sandstone col, and descended into a gorge, where we put up for the night, and the next day descended to the little city of Fu Min Hsien, in the valley of the An Ning River, which is the main outlet of the Yunnan Lake; 75 per cent. of the country consists of bare hills, with a sparse population of Lolos. After leaving the Fu Min Valley, we proceeded through poor and broken country above the west bank of the river to Ché Pei, whence we ascended past Chi Kai Market, to a sandy plateau sparsely clad with pine woods, and thence down to the valley of Wu Ting Choù, a tumble-down city of about 400 families, in a treeless barren country.\n\nThis town was destroyed in the disorders which marked the close of the Mohammedan rebellion in Yunnan, and has never recovered, but it was once an important stage on the Yunnan trade route between Yünnan and the Chien Chang (South-west Szechuan), which was once the principal trade route in the province. The \"oldest inhabitant\" of Wu Ting (1873) remembers the days when 100 laden mules per diem passed the city, but now there are not as many in a month. As soon as the Panthay troubles commenced, trade left the Chien Chang-Wu Ting route and took to the Sui-fu (Szechuan)-Chao Tong-fu-Yunnan-fu line, on the other side of the Yang-tsze from the Chien Chang; this route was in its turn strangled by the Lao Wa Tan li-kin, and yielded much of its importance to the west river route, which grew in importance with the growing demand in Canton for Yünnan opium. Pirates, the establishment of order on the Red River, and, above all, the establishment of the Customs at Mengtse, again diverted the commerce into the channel which, as regards Central Yunnan, it is likely to occupy permanently.

Burmah gets the off-sweepings of Yunnan in the way of ponies-the halt, the maimed and the blind.\n\nAt present, for ponies, the best, but probably also the dearest, market is Yünnan-fu itself, where there is a much wider choice of animals than anywhere else.\n\nAt Hsia Kuan the number of ponies sold is small, but all over the part of Yunnan which I traversed, ponies and mules are bred in considerable numbers, and hardly any village is so poor as not to have a few ponies and donkeys.\n\nThe Chien Chang (south-west) corner of Szechuan is also an important pony-breeding ground, and I have seen a very few mules from the same district which would, I think, be large enough for batteries, prices asked being 60 to 80 taels (now 120 to 160 rupees).\n\nI also met several caravans of ponies (30 to 50 in each) en route from the Chien Chang to Burmah via the Kun Long Ferry; many were mares in foal, and for the rest their obvious destiny was to draw a ticca gharry in Mandalay. There is a steady movement of animals from these districts down to Yung Chang and Teng Yueh to supply transport for the Burmah and the salt trades. It is, however, very hard to get exact numbers, because animals are mostly privately sold, and not exposed on the open market, so as to avoid those official exactions which ruin the internal trade of China, and especially of Yunnan. One dealer, who was taking ponies to Mandalay from Hui Li, in the Chien Chang, told me that by dodging the cities and markets he managed to get across the province without paying taxes more than five times, or, in all, 4 rupees per beast, which represents about 12 per cent, ad valorem at his home.\n\nAt Hoching, five days north of Ta Li, there is a specially good class of mule engaged in the salt trade. He is hardly big enough for a battery, but he carries 215 lbs. over very severe mountain roads an average of 15 miles a-day, day in and day out.\n\nBut the main source at present of the Burmah pony supply is Chung Tien, ten days north of Ta Li, across the Yang-tsze, the inhabitants of which are Thibetans known as Ku Tsung men. I have not yet been able to visit their country, but it is stated to supply a large number of a strong, though not elegant, type of pony. They seem, however, not to thrive in a hot climate, and receive so little attention on their long journey down that they usually reach Teng Yueh in a very poor condition. Besides horse-dealers, a number of other Ku Tsung men come down to West Yunnan every year with beasts which they let out for hire for transport, and take back to their homes at the end of the spring.\n\nThe Fowl's Foot Mountain is near Ta Li.\n\nLeaving Pin Chuan by the North Gate, we followed the road down the valley towards the Yang-tzse for a mile, and then turning west across the stream which inadequately waters the plain, marched slightly west of north across downs and foot-hills which fringe the west side of the valley. The road is cut at intervals by several streams flowing from the mountains which shelter the east shore of the Ta Li Lake, eastward into the Pin Chuan Plain, and along these streams there is garden-like cultivation and picturesque villages. After three hours' march we crossed a road leading from Nui Kai to Wa Ch'i, a market on the east shore of the Ta Li Lake, whence a boat can be taken across to Ta Li Fu.\n\nPassing the market of Lien Tung, which is situated above the rich padi valley of Fu Tien Chuang, whose fields are mostly owned by the monks of the Chi Tsu Shan (Fowl's Foot Hill). On the grassy slopes near our camp, pheasants, quail, and partridges abounded.\n\nAll day long we had seen in front of us a huge hog-backed mountain rising up from the Pin Chuan Valley in a west direction across fifteen points of the compass, and terminating on the west in an isolated castle-like pinnacle, on the summit of which could be seen the white glitter of a temple.\n\nOn the next day we continued over-hill and down towards the great mountain, having on our left the range which hangs over the east shore of the Ta Li Lake, and after two and a-half hours' march we emerged from a forest into the beautiful valley of Sha Chi, which nestles along the south foot of the Fowl Mountain. The broad flank of the mountain is densely clad with forest, amid which may be discerned the roofs and pagodas of the lower temples, and a pellucid stream flows past the padi terraces of Sha Chi in an easterly direction towards the Yang-tzse. In the afternoon we ascended the hill to 7,800 feet through dense forest, and then, turning east along a good path, reached the beautiful temple of Shih Tan Ssu, entirely surrounded by virgin forest.\n\nThis is the residence of the Seng Cheng Ssu, or Controller of all the temples and monks on the hill. He administers corporal punishment, or in bad cases can expel the offending bonze from the precincts of the hill. The office is now filled by a pleasant old monk of about 60 years old, who has spent all his life on and near the hill, and, having lived through the Panthay rebellion, during which the temples were alternately and impartially pillaged by the followers of the Prophet and the followers of Confucius, has many tales of adventure to relate. At present he seems to be more interested in getting in his rents than in attaining Nirvana, and in the price of the drugs which his hill produces, than in the Buddha, the law, or the order.\n\nTwenty-nine temples are shown on a native map of the hill; they are all, with the exception of the summit shrine, situated on the south slope of the mountain, and buried in a magnificent growth of forest, but many are now abandoned and in ruins.\n\nFrom Shi Tak Ssu a good cornice road leads along the mountain slope in a west direction to Chin Lan Ssu (Golden Orchid Temple), which is at the foot of the west pinnacle. Besides this main road, there are wood-cutters' paths in all directions, and pleasant walks through the cool depths of the forest, where the stately silver pheasant and the elegant Amherst pheasant may be seen strutting in their native wilds.\n\nWhen the winter sun of Yünnan floods the whole hill with light, the view of forest and mountain is so superb that it is easy to believe that a spot so conspicuous, so accessible and so beautiful, must have attracted the religious devotion of men from the time when they were first moved by the conception of the spiritual or the sublime. Legend attributes the earliest temples to the Tang dynasty, and the Chi Kwang Ssu is even stated to have been founded by Han Ming Ti, who sent a Buddhist Embassy to India; A.D. 58. But, in point of fact, there is nothing in the buildings at present standing to take the dedication of the hill to Buddha further back than the Ming dynasty. The style of the architecture of these temples strongly resembles that of the Ming tombs near Peking, save that in some of them there are graceful bell-towers of wood built into the main structure on the right and left of the first court. There are also some good specimens of the ornate carved eaves, such as are to be seen in the British Legation at Peking, and these I take to date only from the early days of the present dynasty. From tablets and inscriptions still to be seen in the temples, it is clear that there was a powerful Buddhist movement in Yünnan in the reigns of Tien Chi and Wan Li of the Ming, 1573, 1621.\n\nMany of the wooden tablets are of great size, and of value as specimens of Ming calligraphy; it is said—and it is quite likely—that there were also valuable collections of altar furniture and pictures which were looted during the Panthay rebellion. In the Shih Tan Ssu, the residence of the Controller, are the usual Wan Sui, or 10,000 year tablets in honour of the reigning Emperor, and also tablets which are supposed to secure the prosperity of the high provincial officials, each of these dignitaries having a separate tablet with his titles and the characters \"lu wei\" (seat of official prosperity) inscribed thereon. Apart from this, the images in the temples are all purely Buddhist. The three precious Buddhas, representing the Buddha, the law, and the order, Kuan Yin in a side shrine, and the Ju Lai Fo, are the commonest of the idols. The usual Chinese heroes and demi-gods are conspicuous by their absence. Thibetan influence is very marked, and, indeed, the impulse of Buddhism probably came here from Thibet. The walls have been scribbled over with Thibetan script by pilgrims from the north. Thibetan charms dangle from the walls, and the main court of Shih Tan Ssu is adorned with Thibetan tiles.\n\nIn all the chief temples morning and evening services are celebrated, but there is little or no knowledge of the faith among the Bonzes. The total number of the holy men on the hill is about 300; the Shih Tan Ssu has about thirty and Hua Yen Ssu forty.\n\nThe rents of Shih Tan amount to 300 piculs of grain yearly, derived from lands in the neighbourhood. Hua Yen Ssu is also fairly well off, but on the whole the Bonzes have fallen on bad times and begging, or the subscriptions of visitors at the end...\n\n[2021 - 1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391290, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 251, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "6\n\nof the year, the time of the great pilgrimage form their chief means of subsistence, and most of the buildings are falling into a sad state of disrepair.\n\nAnother feature of the Shih Tan Ssu is a balustrade of Ta Li marble, some 30 yards long, before the chief shrine which contains three colossal Buddhas. Leaving Shih Tan Ssu and following the main cornice road to the summit in a westerly direction through the forest, we first passed the minor temples of Hsing Hsien Ssu and Wan Sheng An, and so arrive at Ta Chueh Ssu (Monastery of Great Perception), which is one of the Wa T Ssu or five great temples (Ta Chueh, Shih Tan, Chin Lan, Hua Yen, and Mo Ni An).” Ta Chueh Ssu consists of three courts in a tumble-down condition. Close to Ta Chuch is Chi Kwang Ssu, which claims to be the oldest of all the shrines. In it are seven images of the Jn Loi Buddha, with the mystic symbol on their breasts; also a small Buddha on a white elephant, and two enormous rice boilers of bell-metal dating from the Ming Emperor, Tien Chi. The forest then opens out, allowing fine views of the valley of Sha Chi and of the large Hua Yen Ssu, situated lower down the hill on a wooded height. After ascending 2,000 feet in 5 miles we arrived at the foot of the western pinnacle of the mountain, and put up in the comfortable Chin Lan Ssu, otherwise known as Chia Sha Ssu, where we found only three monks. From this temple the ascent to the Chin Tien, or Golden Shrine, on the summit takes about 1 hour. Winding up a steep stone path between limestone precipices, we passed several caves in which holy but dirty monks lay in wait for the cash of the faithful. A few hundred feet below the summit is the Tung Fo Ssu, a small temple dating from this dynasty with a roof of copper. A steep and dizzy climb brought us from this to the top, at an elevation of 11,800 feet. The Chin Tien is a tumble-down little temple in the centre of the chief court, of which is a shrine with door and roof of copper, and surrounded by a Ta Li marble balustrade, closely resembling the copper shrine at Wu San Kwei's temple near Yünnan-fu.\n\nIn front of the shrine is a large and artistically-shaped incense burner of bell-metal, about 5.8 feet high.\n\nThe view from the summit of the Chi Shan is of surpassing magnificence, and embraces a large portion of the Ta Li Prefecture. To the east the ridge of the Chi Shan slopes away to the Pin Chuan Valley, while its forest-clad heights slope gradually down to the valley of Sha Chi at the spectators' feet. To the south-east were the mountains which we had crossed in our journey from Ta Yao, running north and south in parallel ranges. To the south are the masses of hills between the Ta Li Lake and the plain of Yunnan Hsien. To the west a magnificent view is obtained of the isolated range of the Tsang Shan, which, with its nineteen peaks, rising to about 13,000 feet, forms a vast screen on the west side of the Ta Li Lake. No snow was visible in early December, and, indeed, the attitude of this range is well under the snow-line in this part of Yunnan. Glimpses of the lake are obtained, and though the city of Ta Li is hidden, the pagodas outside the north gate of the city can be seen. But the most conspicuous object of all in the whole panorama is to the north, where the great white dome of the Lichiang snow-peak, towering high above all rival summits, glitters in the winter sun. From the Chi Shan it is distant 65 miles in an air-line.\n\nLeaving the Ka Sha Ssu and passing through the forest for a mile, we cross a col, 9,200 feet, and descend in a north direction down a beautiful glen, where slopes of bracken and fields of oats are diversified with shrubberies of rhododendrons and pines. On the north side of the mountain there is only one temple, the Feng Chen Ssu, inhabited by a villainous-looking bonze, who apologized for the disordered state of his temple because he had only just come out after six months in the Teng Chuan Gaol. Some mules, it appeared, had vanished from near the holy man's abode, and here, as elsewhere, the world is very censorious. From this undesirable spot my muletcer hastened us down a rough road, with views of bare mountain ranges to the north in front of us, down to the bed of a small stream, along the banks of which runs the high road from Ta Li to Yung Peh. This stream flows east into the Yang-tsze, and we followed up its course in a west direction, along a narrow strip of cultivation, until we found a camp-ground at the little village of Ta Wang Miao. The next day, at [F] miles, we passed out of the valley and over a grassy col, insignificant in itself, but important as being the divide between the Yang-tsze and the Mekong. Shortly after the north end of the Ta Li Lake came into sight- the flourishing villages, dense cultivation round the fringe of the lake, the numerous fishing-boats, and the flocks of wildfowl forming a striking contrast to the bare, lonely slopes of the mountains above. We struck the lake near a marshy pond full of mallards, which enabled us to replenish the larder; and after an easy and interesting walk past the flourishing market of Chiang Wei (where excellent fowl and snipe shooting is to be had) and past flourishing villages, we crossed the bridge of boats\n\n7\n\nwhich spans the river which feeds the north end of the lake, and marched into Shang-Kuan under the shadow of the Tsang Shan.\n\nThe influence of Buddhism-of which the temples on the Chi Shan are the outward and visible sign-is still strongly marked in the Ta Li valley, which is popularly spoken of as the \"Land of Buddha.\" A number of military officers come from Ta Li, Hoching, and Lichiang: and most of them (including Chiang, the late provincial Commander-in-chief) are devotees of Buddha. Their piety is sometimes usefully and elegantly displayed by the construction of bridges and the ornamentation of temples. Sometimes it breaks out in inconvenient places. Thus, the military authorities in Yunnan are very fond of forbidding the slaughter of animals for food, though whether their motive is, as they state, \"respect for heaven-given life\" or the prospect of a squeeze \"for permitting breaches of their own regulations, I leave to be determined by those who know the mandarins. Shortly before I arrived the Captain of the City Guard at Ta Li had issued a strange Proclamation. After pointing out that \"all the myriads of created beings love life,\" he proceeds to assert that eels and magpies in particular have a \"meng,\" or destined course of life, with which it is impious to interfere. Accordingly, it is strictly forbidden to catch these creatures, and all and sundry who would indulge in the surreptitious pleasure of fried eels, or the more doubtful joys of magpie shooting, are warned that the eye of the Captain of the Guard is on them.\n\nCC\n\nTu Li-fu and the Valleys near it.\n\nIt is.\n\nfrom\n\nThe importance of Hsia Kuan, at the south of the Ta Li Valley, as a centre both of foreign and native trade cannot fail to strike the traveller; it is the commercial capital\n\npasses of West Yünnan, and if we can insist on respect being paid to transit Burmah, will soon become the largest market in the province. The li-kin is one of the best in the province, the amount collected chiefly on native opium being from 40,000 taels to 50,000 taels per annum. The town is increasing rapidly, and rents are far higher than at Ta Li, the greater part of the latter city being still in ruins, and being cursed by the presence of a number of officials. Hsia Kuan has a population of over 12,000, nearly all of whom are engaged in trade; the town is situated on both sides of a small river which flows out of the south-west corner of the Erh Hai or Ta Li Lake, and The ruins of the old rans west into the Yangpi River, and so to the Mekong. Rivan, or fortified wall, which ran from the foot of the mountains to the lake, are still standing in picturesque dilapidation on the north bank of the river.\n\nNot only is Hsia Kuan a resort of merchants of all kinds-dealers in foreign goods from Tengyueh, cloth-sellers and opium buyers from Lin Au (South Yünnan), Canton opium buyers, pedlars from Szechuan, Thibetans, and Li-chiang traders with ponies, mules, woollen cloth, drugs, and musk to exchange for tea, salt, sugar, and cottons-but it is an important centre of opium production and general consumption. I estimate that at least half of our imports from Burmah go up to Hsia Kuan.\n\nThe mountains press close on the east shore of the lake, while on the west the feet of the great Tsang Shan range are only 15 li, or 4.4 miles from the water, but the Ta Li plain, though narrow, is very thickly populated, and to the north and south of the lake are a series of rich agricultural valleys. The district of T'ai Ho Hsien, which comprises only the plain between lake and mountain, and between Hsia Kuan and Shang Kuan- say, 44 miles by 30 miles-has nearly 250 villages, besides the towns of Ta Li and Hsia Kuan; and the population can hardly be under 100,000. The sub-Prefecture of Chao Chou at the south end of the lake and of Teng Chuan at the north head of the lake have a large area of rich agricultural land and an abundant supply of water; further south are the plains of Meng Hua, 20 miles by 4 miles, and Hung Ai, 18 miles by 5 miles, which resemble the valleys of Szechuan in their richness; while to the north of Teng Chuan are the plains of Lang K'ung, Chien Chuan, Hoching, and Lichiang.\n\nI estimate that quite 1,250,000 persons and the best-to-do in the province are supplied from Hsia Kuan, and in a province the whole of which does not probably contain more than 10,000,000 inhabitants, this is a high figure. I would advocate the establishment of a Chinese agency at Hsia Kuan by some foreign firm. If arrangements can be made to send opium to Canton via Burmah, the prosperity of the country will be greatly increased.\n\nThe great majority of the peasants in the Ta Li plain and the valleys to the north are Minchia. They are, however, especially in the Ta Li plain, very mixed with Chinese. It is said that between the lake and the mountain there are only two villages of pure Minchia, but the majority of the population along the actual shore of the lake\n\n247", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391291, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 252, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "can only speak a very rudimentary sort of Chinese. The affinities of the Minchia have yet to be studied, but they do not appear to be connected with any Thibetan or Shan stock, though the Shans once reigned at Ta Li. Near Hsia Kuan to this day is shown a \"wan jen tui,\" or tumulus of the 10,000 which is popularly supposed to be the grave of the warriors who fell in a great battle when a Chinese attempt to get possession of the country was defeated with heavy loss.\n\nThe Minchia are remarkable as being the only non-Chinese tribe in Yünnan which has mingled with the Chinese on something like equal terms; they have retained their lands and their language, but they have adopted the literature, the religious ideas, and, at least in the case of the men, the dress of the Chinese. A literatus of Ta Li who would be inclined to draw but little distinction between Kachins, Miao, Lisaw, and other wild tribes puts the Minchia on a higher level. \"They read books,\" i.e., the classics. It is to be feared that it would be a work of great difficulty to unearth Minchia ideas, which are covered by a superstructure of Chinese beliefs; merely as a guess, I suggest that they may be connected with the Man Tzu of Szechuan. The Minchia are peasants, and nothing more; the shop-keepers at markets such as Hsi Chon, 40 li north of Ta Li, or at Chiang Wei, at the north head of the lake, are Chinese. The Minchia villages and farmhouses are exceedingly well built, and I am inclined to think that the top storey, which is found in nearly all Yunnan country houses, but is so contrary to Chinese ideas, was derived from the Minchia. In the Ta Li plain, where wood is scarce, the Minchia house is a substantial stone structure built with the limestone and conglomerate which is littered about under the Tsang Shan; but the best type of Minchia dwelling is to be found in the Hoching Valley. It is commonly built round three sides of a square, the fourth side being closed with a wall in which there is a porch. The lower storey is of mud or sun-baked brick on a stone foundation, and sometimes with stone pillars, but the top storey is of wood, the architecture resembling that of a Swiss chalet. The section opposite the porch is usually the dwelling-house, while one of the sides is given up to the cattle, with a straw-loft over them, and the other side is used as a grain store. Comfort and cleanliness these houses are far superior to the Chinese, as I can testify after having enjoyed many days of Minchia hospitality, which is readily given in places where there are no inns.\n\nThe pure Minchia type resembles that of the Romany or gipsy, save that it is lighter in complexion; the Minchia women have natural feet, manage boats, carry loads, do masons' and bricklayers' work, and in the La Shi salt district I have even seen them acting as muleteers.\n\nWholesale commerce has quite deserted Ta Li, but there is a busy market every five days, and in the third moon occurs the annual fair, or \"yueh kai,\" a commercial event of some importance. It is held outside the West Gate, and lasts for five days, after which a good deal of business is done in the city itself for fourteen days before the merchants disperse. The number of persons attending the fair is given at various figures, but it is usually stated to be only one-third of the old days before the rebellion. The official Proclamations state that for the \"yueh kai\" \"myriads of merchants from the four quarters of the globe collect together dense as the clouds;\" but Chinese Proclamations have to be taken in a Pickwickian sense, and I believe that the present attendance is not over 5,000. Thibetans and representatives of all the tribes in West Yünnan come in some force, while besides Yünnanese there are, of course, Cantonese and Szechuanese; I am not aware that any natives of India attend. Drugs, including China-root, rhubarb, and musk, mules and ponies, Thibetan wools, tea and brown sugar in small cakes, cottons and cloths, are the chief objects of exchange, and I believe that the fair is still of sufficient importance to be worth the attention of British or Indian merchants desirous of opening up new lines.\n\nAmong other minor products of Ta Li I may mention pigs' bristles, which are of good quality, but not, perhaps, easy to collect in sufficient quantity, and straw braid used for the native sun-hats. The plaiting leaves to be desired at present, but this might be improved for foreign buyers, and the straw itself is of excellent quality.\n\nThe traveller who has passed through the rich fields and flourishing villages of the Ta Li Plain, and has enjoyed the double view of hill and lake (\"tsang esh esh kuan\") is interested to learn how this happy valley first came into existence. The curious folklorist may discern traditions of the early struggles of the first Chinese settlers in the legend of the advent of Buddhism, and perhaps of some geological cataclysm. In the ancient days the waters of the lake lapped the foot of the Tsang Shan, and there was no plain. The caverns in the hills were inhabited by a \"yao kwei,\" or monstrous being, who used to sally forth, and for his food tear out and devour the eyes of the Chinese in the neighbourhood. Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, pitying the sorrows of the black-haired people, appeared upon the scene disguised as a venerable Buddhist nun in her \"ka sha,\" or yellow robe and accompanied by a lame dog. Addressing the monster, she promised to supply him with the food which he liked on condition that he would give her a patch of dry land under the hills. \"How much dry land?\" asked the monster. \"The breadth,\" replied the goddess, \"of my yellow robe and the length of three leaps of my lame dog.\" After some haggling a contract on these terms was reduced to writing. But when the aged nun spread out the robe it covered a space of 15 li, and such was the uncommon agility of the lame dog that in three leaps he cleared a space of 100 li. For his food the goddess captured shell-fish, and gave the eye-like contents to the \"yao kwei\"; the voracious but unwary monster seems to have thought that he had been swindled, and became obstreperous; whereupon the goddess seized him and interned him in a hole or cavern in the earth near Hsi Chou, where there was only a small open slit through which he could breathe. In his struggles, his fiery breath issuing from the slit burned up the waters of the lake. But the goddess had cast a spell on the monster; so long as Chinese assemble at the West Gate of Ta Li during the third moon so long must the monster remain in durance vile; wherefore to this day, at the commencement of the great spring fair, the General comes out in state and fires off all his artillery, so that the dragon may know that the time of his release is not yet.\n\nIn case this bald narrative fails to convince the sceptical western, I may point out that the length of the Ta Li Plain from the upper to the lower pass is, in fact, 100 li, and its breadth 15 li. Is not the shore of the lake littered with empty shells, the contents of which have been devoured by the \"yao kwei\"? Is not there at Hsi Chou a long narrow strip of land stretching into the lake from which the water was blown by the struggling prisoner? Was not the contract between him and the goddess reduced to writing and engraved on stone that all might see? and finally, is it not a fact that to this day an annual crowd has assembled outside the West Gate for the third-moon fair, and that the \"yao kwei\" has never once emerged from his prison?\n\nFrom Ta Li city to the Shang Kuan (upper pass) is an easy march of 16 miles in a northerly direction across the level plain, between the lake on the right and the Tsang Shan on the left. The main caravan route is at the foot of the mountains, but the lower road which leads by the shores of the lake is much more agreeable, as it gives an opportunity of observing the lake villages which cluster on the stone bunds fringing the shore, and in the morning, of shooting some wild geese and duck as they fly back to the lake after their night feed in the fallow fields. Shang Kuan is a small tumble-down village with a li-kin and Prefect's tax station, at each of which about 1,000 taels are collected annually on goods going north. Travellers for Lichiang usually pass Shang Kuan to the head of the lake, and leaving the bridge of boats and the series of marshes through which flows the principal feeder of the lake, slightly to the east, enter the plain of Teng Chuan at the tiny city of that name. This plain is about ... miles by ... miles, and is well supplied with water from several large lagoons in which heavy crops of rushes are grown for fuel.\n\nAt Yui So, ... miles, there is a market where Chinese and Minchia exchange grain, opium, sugar, salt, cloth, pigs, mules, and cattle; and at miles ... the river is crossed at Chung So. It is here 25 yards broad, shallow, and flows for some miles between high artificial embankments, the safety of which are of prime importance to local agriculture.\n\nAt 15 miles the road and river leave the Teng Chuan Valley by a gorge. The road then leads through broken ground along the foot-hills of the east side of the Lang Kung Valley, past the hamlet of Ying Shan P'u, and through fertile country to Nui Kai, an important market of about 150 houses, and so to the north-east corner of the fertile Lang Kung Valley. At Kuan Yin Shan the road enters the hills and splits into two tracks, the one going a little west of north to Chien Chuan Chou (one long stage), and the other which I followed leading over an important pass into the Yang tsze basin. After leaving Kuan Yin Shan we commenced an ascent up a gorge by a fair road, and spent the night in a log hut on an open terrace in the hills (San Chiu Tang), whence there was a fine view. The next day we ascended the silent and frost-bound pass of Kwa La, past rhododendron scrub and frozen marshes, varied with patches of forest. At the village of Kwa La, which consists of a few wattle huts, we observed the plaited bamboo basket industry, which is of some local importance, and so descended to the guard station of the Hei Nui (the Black Ox), situated in a gorge by a rushing stream; here a salt road from Chien Chuan joined our route, and there is considerable passing traffic. At 13 miles beyond Hei Nui a road branches off east to Sung Kwei, which is an important market near the Yang-tsze. It is an entrepôt of the salt, sugar, and tobacco trade, and also a pony and mule market.\n\nPage 9\n\nAt ...\n\n248", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391292, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 253, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "10\n\nThese valleys to the north of Ta Li form a considerable market for foreign goods. Among the very attractive Minchia ladies, I fancied that I noticed an unappeased longing for finery, such as cheap laces, ribbons, and Turkey reds, while their capacity for consuming all kinds of sweetstuff is considerable. They share the labours of the sterner sex, and so add to the labour power of the valleys, which they inhabit.\n\nAfter Hei Nui Shao, we continued somewhat north of east, through fine hill country, with fields and scrub, where an exciting pheasant drive was organized, until we saw the wide plain of Hoching, with its 200 villages spread like a chess board at our feet. We descended the windings of a long spur to the level ground, and struck a wide-paved causeway, some 3 miles south of Hoching city. It was market day, and the traffic was very heavy. Many of the hill Minchia women near Hoching have retained their native kilts and the men their arms, leather shoes, and felt or fur caps, so that they present a picturesque aspect on their return home from market.\n\nHoching Valley can be recommended to the attention of those who would have us believe that Yunnan is a poverty-stricken wilderness. The plain is about 24 miles by 5 miles, and contains about 200 villages, excellently built. The city itself has about 12,000 inhabitants, and is clean and well built, with but little empty space in the walls. The streets are densely crowded every ten days for the market. The place is an important salt and opium entrepôt, and the general prosperity of the inhabitants attracts all sorts of trade. Even dried lichees from Canton may be bought at stalls on the streets. A weaving industry is now springing up, yarn being brought under transit pass from Teng Yueh. I think that the great majority of the people are still clad in Hsin Hsing or Shasi cloth, and only about eighty muleloads of Manchester goods per annum are sold in Hoching, but throughout the valley, the chance of extending Burmah trade seems excellent; some of the merchants with whom I conversed are well acquainted with the commercial advantages offered by the opening of the Teng Yueh Customs; indeed, they stated that before that event, the foreign trade of the valleys north of Ta Li was exceedingly risky, owing to the irregular imposts of all sorts to which it was exposed. The crushing impositions of the Teng Yuch and Yung Chang tax collectors formed but a part of the mischief. I have already noticed the mules of Hoching.\n\nLeaving the North Gate of Hoching, the stone causeway passes some lagoons, and leaving the valley bottom, leads over some downs and through some firwoods to the li-kin station of Chi Ho. The valley is well peopled all along, and the traffic on the road is very considerable.\n\nThe next day we crossed the rocky col of the Lion Hill (Ssu Tzu Shan) and a gentle descent through firwoods brings the traveller out on to the wide plain of Li Chiang. The river which waters the Hoching Plain issues from the north-east of the Lichiang Plain, flows south, under the east foot of the Lion Pass, and so down the Hoching Valley, from the south-east corner of which it issues and joins the Yang-tsze.\n\nLichiung-fu, the Snow Mountain, and the Yang-tsze Bend.\n\nWhile descending from the Lion Pass to the Lichiang Plain, the clouds which had obscured for some days the tops of the ranges, among which we had been travelling, slightly lifted, and disclosed the sharp snow-striped triple peak of the snow mountain, towards which we had been marching for five days. The lower slopes of the mountain were still enfolded in mist, and the impression given was one of enormous height. The Lichiang Snow Mountain—it has no other name—is known far and wide among the natives, and the geographical problems regarding the country at its feet are of sufficient interest to merit a particular description.\n\nThe Lichiang Plain may be considered as divided into three portions, first there is the main valley with the Lion Pass on the south, the city and the range at the back of it on the north, and the hills crossed by the high road from Lichiang to the Yang-tsze and Yung-peh on the east. This covers about 40 square miles, and is, roughly, 8 miles by 6 miles. Then there is the northern section of the plain, which runs up at the back of the city along the east flank of the Snow Mountain for some 9 miles, and, thirdly, over a low col on the west of the main plain, there is the Lashi Pa, a circular valley, with a diameter of 4 miles, sloping gradually down on all sides to a lake in the ...\n\n11\n\n...middle. The main road from Lichiang, west to the Ashi Ferry, on the Yang-tsze, en route to Thibet, runs along the north of this lake, while the road to Chien Chuan skirts the south-east of it, passing under the Wen Pi, or Pencil Hill, a conspicuous wedge-shaped peak, which overhangs the south-west of the main valley. The Pencil Hill, together with the Snow Mountain, balances the geomantic influences, and secures the prosperity of Lichiang.\n\nThe Lichiang Valley possesses a good dark soil which is suitable for opium. Little rice is grown, but the dry land cereals abound. The population is not so dense as that of Hoching Valley, the villages being smaller and further apart. The city itself contains about 8,000 inhabitants, and is situated on the north of the valley near the great snow peak which can be seen from nearly every street corner. It is quite unlike any other prefectural city in China; in the first place, it is at an altitude of 8,100 feet; in the second place there is no wall, the Magistrate's Yamên being quite out in the country; thirdly, streams of pure water issuing from the Dragon pool of the Lung Wang Miao to the north of the city flow alongside the pavement, houses and shops being pleasantly diversified with gardens and orchards; fourthly, it is at the foot of a great snow mountain; and fifthly, the majority of the inhabitants are not Chinese. The houses on the outskirts of the city are well built in the Minchia style, while the centre of the city is a square market-place, where a busy daily market is held. From this square branch three business streets of small wooden shops, where the sellers of cotton cloth, Thibetan wools, and copper and iron-workers are conspicuous. There is also a small paper industry, the paper being made from the bark of the kou tree, while a number of Chinese medicine and musk buyers frequent the place.\n\nTo the north of the city runs the north section of the plain under the east flank of the snow hill; this plain is closed on the north by the spurs through which the Hei Shui, or Blackwater Stream, runs eastward to the Yang-tsze. At the south end of this plain, some 5 miles west of Lichiang, is the market of Pei Sha and several villages, but further north it is barren, stony, and windswept.\n\nSome 6 miles west of Lichiang city a low col which joins the Snow Mountain to Pencil Hill divides the main section of the plain from the Lashi section. Lashi Pa, with its lake, is densely populated and has twenty large villages. Quantities of rice are grown and a number of beasts are bred. The whole of the Lashi Pa is surrounded by pine-clad heights and presents a very beautiful view.\n\nThe inhabitants of the Lichiang Plain and its dependencies fall under three heads: These are the Chinese, mostly immigrants from Hoching; the Minchia, who are chiefly in the south of the valley; and the so-called \"pun ti,\" or natives. These latter call themselves Lashi, and though their language is not the same as that of the Ku Tsung Thibetans of Chung Tien, the difference seems to be dialectic only, and I cannot doubt that the Lashi are the most southern branch of the true Thibetan stock. Their sepia complexion, their fondness for lamaseries and woollen garments and their high cheek bones all proclaim their affinity. The young women usually wear hats like Chinamen, but with long tassels and gilt embroidery. The Lashis form the majority of the inhabitants of Lichiang city, the bulk of the population of Lashi Pa, and they seem to entirely monopolize the Yang-tsze bend. In the latter country their houses are often made of nothing but wood, while substantial log-huts in the Canadian backwoods style are supplied for the cattle. The Lashi mostly speak a little \"pidgin\" Chinese, and have ancestral tablets in their houses. They are friendly and hospitable, good carpenters and blacksmiths, and it is to be hoped that their language and history will be studied by some traveller who has time. It will probably be found that they are closely related to the Mosso tribe on the Upper Mekong.\n\nThe inhabitants of Lichiang are sportsmen, and fond of falconry. The hawks, which they fly at pheasants and ducks, are heavy birds, and a good deal of care is spent in looking after them.\n\nI am able to throw some light on the question of the Yang-tsze bend to the north of Lichiang. M. Bonin, the well-known French traveller, who in 1894 went from Yang-tzse bend to Ashi, and, having crossed the Tang-tsze there, proceeded north-east to Tachienlu, surmises that the course of the Yang-tsze was wrongly marked on our old maps, and that the river makes a great curve to the north from Ashi, sweeping round to the south again from a point a little to the south of Yung Ning. I can confirm the truth of M. Bonin's suggestion; there is, in fact, no doubt about the matter. It is perfectly well known to the Yamens at Lichiang that if you go from the city to the Chin Chiang (Golden River), as the Yang-tsze is locally known, in a westerly direction, you strike the stream at Ashi, one long day's march. If you go in an easterly direction you reach the stream on the second day from Lichiang on the Yung-peh road; but if you go in a northerly direction you have to travel six days from Lichiang to reach the Yang-tsze at the northern apex of the bend. The concave or south side of the bend is all in the jurisdiction of Lichiang, while the convex bank belongs to Yung-peh, Yung Ning, and Chung Tien respectively.\n\nThe other question is the trend of the range of which the Lichiang Snow Mountain is such a conspicuous feature.

Indeed, most of the roads in this part of Yunnan are very good as compared with the high road to Burmah.\n\nAfter five hours' march, by which time we had reached 9,900 feet, we passed over into the Mekong basin. There is no water to be got on this ascent, and, consequently, no villages. On reaching the top of the pass an extensive and characteristic view of a large part of West Yunnan was unfolded. At our feet, 1,800 feet below us, was the narrow valley of Chien Chuan, and beyond it a series of regular parallel ranges capped with snow, and running north and south we descended into the valley that afternoon, and struck the main road from Ta Li to Wei Hsi.\n\nJust north of the hamlet of Po Chueh, where we camped, there is a beautiful tarn of rich blue water, which has been banked up as a reservoir. From Po Chach to Chien Chuan is an easy day's march down the valley (south), which is not over a mile in breadth; the villages which fringe the foot-hills on both sides become larger and more numerous as we approach the city, where we were put up by the hospitable official.\n\nJust south of the city the valley opens out into a wide and roughly-circular plain, closed by high mountains on the south, or Ta Li side. This plain is some 3 miles wide, and very fertile. A large part of it is occupied by a large lake.\n\nThe whole district (\"chou,\" or sub-prefecture) of Chien Chuan is officially stated to contain 10,000 families, of which two-thirds are located in the main valley which we bad descended. The city population is about 7,000, and the streets are crowded on market day. The country folk are nearly all Minchia, but they speak Chinese and wear Chinese dress. There are no export products here, except a little surplus rice. The people are lazy, and get enough to live on from the padi-fields without planting winter crops. In fact, the only industry is charcoal-burning.\n\nIn September 1902 Chien Chuan valley was visited by an alarming earthquake; about fifty persons are said to have been buried under the ruins of a village 4 miles south of the city, and the yamên itself was left in such a crooked, cracked, and dilapidated condition that it presents an excellent type of the Government whose Representative dwells within its walls.\n\nThere is only one small outlet for the waters of the Chien Chuan valley: this is at Tien Wei, 15 li to the south of the city. The Mahommedans at Ta Li, during the rebellion, reduced Chien Chuan by damming up this outlet and so flooding the whole place. Throughout the dry season the padi-fields near the lake are deep in wet mud, and this condition attracts vast numbers of wildfowl, especially mallards. The sportsman who does not object to being occasionally stuck in the mire can walk up wildfowl in the stubble like partridges at home.\n\nThe Chien Chuan people, though they have no industries, have a temper of their own; and they have hitherto successfully resisted the establishment of li-kin or Prefect's tax stations in their valley.\n\nFrom Chien Chuan across the Mekong and Salwen Basins to Teng Yuch.\n\nWe left the city of Chien Chuan by the south gate, with the intention of making as straight a line as possible to Teng Yueh, passing near the west limits of Chinese jurisdiction, and gaining some knowledge of the great parallel ranges which run north and south, near the banks of the Mekong and Salwen Rivers.\n\nA good paved causeway runs down the valley south of Chien Chuan. At 1 mile the road to Tien Wei and Ta Li, which passes near the lake, divides off to the south, and we turned south-west to the village of Lo Yu, situated in the foot-hills which fringe the valley. From this point we took a last look at the snowhill of Lichiang (which is a conspicuous object from the Chien Chuan valley), and ascended through open, hilly country past a series of small tanks, where water is stored for hill cultivation. Extensive views of the mountains to the east and south of the Chien Chuan valley are obtained, until we entered a narrow, wooded gorge, and, passing a col (8,100 feet), descended to the clean little village of Shih Tzu Chiao. From this point we enter the valley of Yang Ts'en, which is half a mile wide, and runs east and west for 4 miles, containing half a dozen villages and some good padi lands. From the west end of this valley we commenced an ascent, and stopped at the mountain hamlet of Shui Tzu Ping. In the course of this day's march we had seen nothing but Minchia.\n\nOn the 3rd January we began, from Shui Tzu Ping, the first of the great ascents which intervene between Teng Yueh and the Yang-tsze basin. This pass is known as\n\n15\n\nrange which\n\nthe Shih Chung Shan (\"Stone Bell Hill\"), and takes the traveller over the forms the west boundary of the Chien Chuan Lake basin. The pass is 9,900 feet high, and is distant from Shui Tzu Ping 4 miles, or 12 hours for laden mules. The road is littered with a dilapidated pavement, and leads through dense forest the whole way. At the top of this trying ascent we found two old gentlemen living in a hut, and a cock pheasant living in their cabbage-garden. The former supplied us with information and the latter with dinner. The descent on the west side to the valley of Lan Chou is down an exceedingly steep and abrupt spur for 1,600 feet, and then by a stream in a close gorge to the village of Chiang Wei (which boasts a police-station), and across a stream out on to the valley.\n\nThe Lan Chou plain is watered by the head streams of the Yangpi River (which is crossed at Yangpi, the tenth stage from Teng Yuch on the Yünn m-fu road). Further south the river receives the outpourings of the Ta Li Lake, and finally joins the Mekong.\n\nThe valley of Lanchou consists of broken country with a number of small mamelons. It is about 8 miles by 4 miles, and contains a dense population of Miachia in about two dozen villages.\n\nThere is a market at Ma Teng. We put up at the village of Kan Ho Tien, at the foot of the formidable range on the west of the valley. This range we negotiated on the following day. Owing to the presence of a variety of \"spooks\" it is considered to be the most formidable pass in this part of the country. If the traveller while ascending utters the word \"cold,” he will be at once seized with a deadly chill, if not frozen stiff; if he utters the word \"hunger,\" he will be at once griped with an excruciating stomach-ache.\n\nCO\n\nI was warned against going aside from the road for any necessary purpose without taking my bearings with a compass, and observing the position of the sun lest I should offend the Shan Wang,\" or Deity of the hills. Though all this must be true, as it was told to me by Lanchou men who are constantly making the ascent, we found The the \"Yang Lu,\" or road of the sun, as it is called, by no means a difficult pass. ascent to the top from Lanchou took three and a-half hours' steady marching up a broad road partly paved. The summit of the pass is 12,200 feet. At the foot of the hill are fir shrubs, and higher up bamboo scrubs and rhododendrons. At the top is a hut where fatigued travellers are regaled with hot sugar and water. The last 1,500 feet of the ascent was over snow and ice.\n\nOn the right of the pass, and quite 2,000 feet above it, is a bare inaccessible-looking peak. The range divides the Yangpi River basin from the main stream of the Mekong. It also forms the west boundary of the district of Chien Chuan, and on the west side of the range we re-enter the extensive district of Li Chiang Hsien, which includes the right bank of the Mekong.\n\nFrom the top of the Yang Lu Pass a fine view is obtained of the great mountains on the west side of the Mekong, forming a regular and majestic range, whose feet are washed by the tributary waters of the Salwen and Mekong, which flow on the west and east of it. In January there was at least 1,000 feet of snow on the range, but in summer it is said to disappear.\n\nThe descent from the Yang Lu Pass in a west direction is down a convenient slope with a stream on the left and majestic spurs swelling down to the plain on both sides of the track. At 9,500 feet there are broad patches of cultivation on the hill-sides and little hamlets of log huts inhabited by Lisaw and Minchia; the marketing is done chiefly by the women here; the Lisaw ladies are conspicuous by their dirty white hempen kilts and the shells in their head-dress, while the Minchia women wear turbans and long cotton gowns.\n\nAt miles we reached the valley of Pei Ti Ping, an irregular strip of broken land surrounded by mountains and watered by a stream which flows into the Mekong soon after leaving the south end of the valley. There are a few Chinese pedlars to be seen on the market of Pei Ti Ping, but the bulk of the people are Minchia, who are engaged in the salt trade, and own a considerable number of mules,\n\nOn the 6th January we crossed the last range which separated us from the Mekong. The road formerly led past ninety-nine hills, ascending ninety-nine terraces, guarded by ninety-nine dragons, but this fearsome stage need no longer be made, as Yang Yu Kuo, the famous General who took a prominent part in the recapture of Ta Li from the Panthays, made another road across the mountains, which is much frequented by salt This road is well paved, and runs in and out and round about through the range, which is of a different character from the mountains which we had crossed. The first part of the day's march was spent in deep gorges between precipitous limestone\n\ncaravans.\n\n251", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391295, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 256, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "cliffs, to the sides of which clung coniferæ, while at their feet were rich forests of bamboo. On every side was heard the gurgle of mountain streams, while, here and there, were grottos full of great icicles. After three hours' march we crossed a low col and came to an open patch in the forest where the salt caravans rest, and soon after reached the crest of the range, and descended along a deep cleft in the west flank of the mountain, whence occasional glimpses of the trans-Mekong range were to be had. At 8,500 feet we emerged into more open country, between two vast cultivated spurs, with villages of mud and wattle huts perched on impossible ledges, and accessible only by paths fit for goats. A succession of bold and magnificent mountain views was unfolded, until from the gorge far beneath us we saw a column of smoke rising up from the salt wells of La Shi, to which we descended, and put up in a temple commanding a view of the little town situated in the depths of the gorge, and containing about 400 houses. Some eighty families are engaged in cooking the salt, and each can produce about 550 lbs. per day. The transport of these and other wells near is in the hands of Pei Ti Ping mule-owners, who are, in many cases, of the gentler sex. At La Shi there is one small street of shops, supplied by Szechuan pedlars. A stream runs down the bottom of the gorge, and the wooden huts of the salt boilers cling along its sides.\n\nFrom Lashi we continued along a narrow path on the south side of the gorge, sometimes by the stream and sometimes high above it, and sometimes making detours to the left to get round side ravines. Soon after passing the Minchia village of Wan Ten, we caught sight of the Mekong, and descended to the little market of Ying Pan Kai. There is no ferry to the other side (west or right bank), but only a bamboo rope sling.\n\nThe sons of the late General Yang Yi Kuo live and rule at Ying Pan. Their attitude was so unfriendly that we moved a mile to the south of the market and camped by the farmstead of a hospitable Minchia, some 500 feet above the river, which is here ... feet broad, of a rich deep blue, and with a strong, but not violent, current. On the opposite side of the river, no less than seven great spurs, any one of which would be considered a first-class mountain in Europe, descend sheer to the river. The little villages, half hidden in their folds, looked like rabbit-hutches. Nature here works on her grand scale, and man and his works are reduced to insignificance.\n\nYing Pan and the Lashi Wells are under the direct control of the Lichiang Magistrate, whose ordinary jurisdiction also extends down the east or left bank of the Mekong to Hsiao Tsa Tsu, 13 miles south of Ying Pan. The fringe of villages on the lower slopes of the mountains on the west or right bank, together with the left bank south of Hsiao Tsa Tsu and north of the Yün Lung Chou boundary, are under the control of a t'u ssu or hereditary Chief, known as Lo t'u kuan. He is a native of Lan chou and a Minchia, but his official residence is at Tu Wo (see below) on the right bank. The upper slopes of the great range on the west of the Mekong, opposite Ying Pan, are inhabited by Lou Tzu, a tribe described by the Chinese officials as utter savages, who live by rapine, and nothing else. But the mandarins commonly speak in these terms of any non-Chinese who object to being controlled or squeezed by the Celestial Government. The Lou Tzu enjoy a wild independence in these inaccessible mountains, and are not above an occasional raid. Last year they crossed the Upper Mekong and looted the Wei Hsi official when he was on his way to his post. The Lou Tzu, the Lisaw, and the Minchia on the banks of the Mekong use cross-bows which shoot a poisoned arrow about 1 foot long. The poison looks like putty, and Chinese informed me that it is a species of \"u t'ou\" or taro, which causes paralysis and speedy death if it enters the blood. To be efficacious the poison has to be gathered at the tops of the mountains and in the dead of night, \"light Hecate's root of hemlock digged in the dark.\"\n\nWhen I passed by, Lo t'u kuan (the Minchia hereditary official) was on the war-path against the Lou Tzu, but his attempts to bring them under control were meeting with no success save that he had burned one village which had refused to accede to his extortionate demands for tribute; it seems that a sort of \"war\" is always going on in these hills, yet Chinese traders occasionally penetrate into them, and the Lou Tzu occasionally come out to the Ying pan to exchange gold, drugs, beeswax, skins, hemp, and lacquer against salt, cottons, tobacco, &c.\n\nFrom Ying pan down the banks of the Mekong to the Fei Lung Bridge is a march of five days (64 miles) along the precipitous sides of the river bank, between the vast ranges which press close to the water on both sides. On the first day we reached the village of Hsiao Tsa Chu (12 miles) the narrow path leading up and down high above the river through magnificent scenery, bare and imposing. We met several bands of Lisaw women in their shell-embroidered caps and hempen kilts; they live chiefly on the west bank, the few villages on the east bank being Minchia. Just before reaching our stage progress was blocked by a formidable razor-like ridge of limestone projecting into the Mekong, and round which the river makes a bend and forms a rapid. This obstacle was only passable by a narrow and dizzy path, and the mules had to make a detour round the hills at the back. Hsiao Tsa Tsu consists of a dozen log huts, situated on a slope steep as the roof of a house, and we only just found room for a tent by a small temple built in Chinese fashion and dedicated to \"the Black God of the Hills.\" The Headman was friendly, and, after a day's rest, he guided us along a path which ascended through a wilderness of mountains till we were 1,600 feet above the river, while above us were vast slopes and precipices with their summits crowned with snow; then descending past the log huts and narrow rice terraces of Shi Ping, we descended to a comfortable camp by the banks of the river near the village of Lamati. Here we found a double bamboo rope sling across the river, and a primitive \"dug-out\" or rather \"burnt-out\" boat made of the trunks of two trees hollowed out by fire and lashed together. A number of Minchia women crossed in the evening with loads of salt and tobacco on their backs, for villages on the west side. On the following morning the water was so cold that the mules refused for a long time to cross, and we were not all landed on the west bank till 10 A.M. At this point we joined Prince Henri of Orleans' route from Fei Lung Bridge north to Atentse.\n\nFollowing the narrow path down the west bank, through a fringe of trees about 50 feet above the river, we soon reached a difficult corner, where to encourage us the guide informed me that Prince Henri had lost two mules overboard into the river. 3 miles from La Mati the country on the west bank opens out a little and forms the valley of Tu Wo, where there is considerable padi cultivation. The few places available for rice terraces along all this part of the Mekong are carefully cultivated, and the rice is of excellent quality.\n\nThe village of Tu Wo, the capital of Lo t'u kuan, consists of about 100 log huts, and a small yamên built on a ridge in the valley. The population consists of Lisaw, Minchia, and a few Chinese. In the afternoon's march the mountains closed in again to the riverside, and we had to feel our way along and round the edge of a beetling cliff. It was like walking round the neck of a champagne bottle; the loads had to be carried on men's backs and the mules led. It was with a feeling of relief that we reached our camp at the little village of Ku Li. After passing Tu Wo we constantly met bands of traders, some of whom had been among the Lou Tzu and the Lisaw of the Upper Salwen, and some of whom had been to Teng Yueh. From Tu Wo there is a path leading west into the hills; indeed, difficult though the country is, there are communications in all directions, and the natives seem to consider any slope less than 45° as level-going. The Tu Wo traders clad in hemp, armed with broad swords in univalve scabbards, and cross-bows with quivers of poisoned arrows, look far more ferocious than they really are. Many wear haversacks like the Kachins, but without the embroidery, people here know the Salwen not as the Lu Chiang, the ordinary Yünnan name, but as the Hei Lung Chiang (\"Black Dragon River\").\n\nAfter edging round a difficult cliff just south of Ku Li, we got into more open country, where the river makes a series of majestic curves, and horse-shoe shaped valleys on the west bank admit of cultivation.\n\nThe most considerable of these is the Valley of Piao Tsuen. The village is situated 1 mile back from the river and has 150 mud and log huts, enclosed by an old mud wall.\n\nWe here passed out of the jurisdiction of Lo t'u kuan and entered that of the Yun Lang Sub-Prefect. From Piao Tsuen there is a well-beaten track west up into the hills past the village of Sung Ping, and so to the Salwen at Luku, the wild Lou Tzu not extending so far south as this.\n\nIn the afternoon we got round another formidable cliff, and camped at the little river bank hamlet of Tsao Yao, where we saw Chinese Proclamations for the first time since leaving the salt wells. One poster by the Provincial Judge was noticeable. It warned the non-Chinese inhabitants of Yunnan generally against practising the gentle arts of witch-craft and poisoning.\n\nThe people of Tsao Yao go to market at the Fei Lung Bridge, but for our tired caravan it was too long a march, and after passing through forest and long grass along a fair track high above the river for 15 miles without seeing a human habitation except the deserted guard-house of Tie Men, perched on the top of a cliff, we camped at Iron gate. Miao Wei, a village of some fifty houses, situated on a broad cultivated terrace high above the Mekong, and commanding a superb view of the great precipices which hang over the east bank.\n\n[2021 A-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391297, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 258, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "20\n\nMan Ying is a Shan village, but there are a number of Chinese squatters here, and also at Lien Ti, 14 miles further north in the river valley (where there is a Chinese hereditary \"t'u-ssu\"), and further north, beyond Lien Ti, at Luku, Teng Keng, and the villages which are the property of the Chinese Tuan clan. (See above.)\n\nChinese cannot live permanently in the Salwen valley at the latitude of the suspension bridge, on account of the deadly malaria—famous from Marco Polo's description. Yet, at Mengku, only 30 miles further north, we find \"John Chinaman\" flourishing, and bullying the Shans after his manner. I was solemnly assured that, except in the autumn, when it is dangerous to travel, there is no such disease as malaria known north of the suspension bridge!\n\nThe Chinese do not, according to my information, extend north of about latitude 26° 30′ in the Salwen valley; beyond that the population is Lisaw. But I was told at Man Ying that the river banks further north are very precipitous, so probably there is not much population of any kind. I may further mention that, north of Luku (which was visited by Prince Henri), the Salwen valley is quite unexplored. Here is a chance for some of our enterprising geographers and travellers. Unluckily, Consular officers rarely have time for so long and difficult an expedition. Perhaps the Government of India will see to it that this blank in the map is filled up. A Chinese merchant at Man Ying told me that it would be difficult, but quite possible, to ascend the course of the Salwen for \"several tens of stages,\" but that the track would not be possible for mules. Precipices and lack of supplies would, I was told, be a greater obstacle than the inhabitants.\n\nup\n\nOn starting from Man Ying up the range which hangs over the west bank of the Salwen, and which divided us from the Irrawadi basin, the worthy Headman warned us against the robbers on the slopes and the poisonous herbs on the summit, which would infallibly kill our animals if allowed to feed there. The whole morning we ascended steadily, passing through a series of zones of vegetation, till we reached the terrace of Hui Po (7,700 feet). After a halt here we were told that there was a camping-ground a little higher up, at Ta Lan Pa, and, while ascending a steep spur to that place, we came upon the robbers, sure enough. At a spot where the road is only a few yards broad, with precipices on both sides, a petty officer, stationed there to guard the road, had erected a couple of gateways at a short distance from each other. These formed a sort of trap, and any porters or mules passing by (and the number is considerable) are held here until they have satisfied the demands of the gallant officer. A large salt and sugar caravan of some fifty mules was in the trap when I arrived on the scene, and a terrific hubbub was going on. However, as soon as the officer saw a foreigner he at once opened the gates, and we proceeded to the camping-ground with our rescued friends. The camp was a small, open plot on the top of the spur, at 8,900 feet, where a bitter wind raged furiously all night, banishing sleep; so, at the very top of the morning, we continued our toilsome ascent along a narrow path, with a ravine on both sides of us. The whole mountain-side is covered with a dense forest of pines, rhododendrons, and other shrubs, and there are no human dwellings above Hui Po. The last half-hour to the summit of the pass, which is known as the Ma Mien Kuan, was comparatively easy going over snow, through one of those dense bamboo brakes which are usually found on the upper slopes of the great ranges in this part of Yünnan. The summit of the Ma Mien is 10,000 feet, and the total ascent from the jungles on the banks of the Salwen to the snows on the top of the pass required six and a-half hours of march. The view from this pass to the west comprises all the northern part of the Teng Yueh district. At the spectator's feet are the upper valleys of the Shweli (or Lung Chiang) and the Ta Ho (or Ta Ping) Rivers. To the south-west the crater-like summit of the Ta Yin Shan mountain, which hangs over Teng Yueh, is conspicuous. To the west the trend of the valley of Ming Kwang can be made out, and in this direction the prospect is closed by a long and well-defined range with a snow-powdered peak. This is the range on the east bank of the N'maikha branch of the Irrawadi, and the peak is Ming Kwang Pum, so well known to the Kachins. This Ming Kwang range is, in fact, their frontier, and should be made the frontier of the British Empire. To the north and north-west were spread confused masses of hills beyond the head-waters of the Shweli. These are inhabited by the wild Lisaw, who admit no man as their lord.\n\nthe\n\nThe Salwen-Irrawadi divide, which we crossed at the Ma Mien, is a very conspicuous object from Teng Yueh. The Burmah-Ta Li trade route crosses it on the second stage out from Teng Yueh—a tough ascent, but nothing like the Ma Mien Kwan.\n\nWe descended to the Upper Shweli Valley from the Ma Mien Kwan, at first by a steep and difficult corkscrew path littered with stones. At 10,000 feet there is a small temple where benighted wayfarers may rest. The descent here is so steep that there is hardly any snow, and it continues down and down to a dark defile, along which flows a mountain stream. Then the path leads by the banks of the stream through a damp and sunless forest, where the moisture favours the growth of great tree-ferns. At 8,300 feet the defile becomes impassable, and the road has been skilfully taken up to the shoulder of a spur on the south of it, whence, after three hours' march from the top of the pass, we emerged from the forest at 7,800 feet. From this point a good path leads down to the valley, through plantations of the shrub locally known as \"kou shu\" (though it is not the real \"kou,\" but Edgworthia Gardnerii), from the bark of which an excellent paper is made. This industry occupies 150 families in the valley. After passing the tax station of Shan Yao we wound down into the heart of the valley, and struck the east branch of the Upper Shweli at the little town of Chiao T'ou (100 houses), where we camped after a long march of nine hours.\n\n21\n\nThis valley is watered by the most easterly of the three streams, which join to form the Shweli or Lung Chiang River, which, sweeping round in a south-west direction through the Lung Ling district, and receiving many tributaries as it goes, forms the frontier between the Chinese Shan State of Meng Mao and the Burmese Northern Shan States for some distance, and finally flows through Burmah and joins the Irrawadi, of which it forms one of the most important tributaries.\n\nThe east head-stream of the Shweli is locally known as the Ta Tang River, because it issues from the mountains of Ta T'ang, 15 miles, or one day's journey north of Chiao Tou. Chinese jurisdiction only extends to the head of this stream.\n\nThis upper valley of the Shweli is certainly one of the most beautiful in Yünnan. A series of ridges descending from the imposing Ma Mien Kwan range cross it, and it is broken up into well-wooded knolls and terraced slopes, abundantly supplied with good water, and in the folds of which are numerous villages and farmsteads surrounded with bamboo clumps. The population is dense and entirely Chinese.\n\nMoving down the valley in a southerly direction for 5 miles, we reached Kai T'ou, a market with 200 houses and a yamên, the residence of a petty civil official, who is under the sub-Prefect of Teng Yuch. From Kai Tou, Teng Yueh city can be reached in two easy days, following the Ta Tang Valley for 15 miles, and then by a gentle col passing into the Ta Ping Valley, and entering the city by the North Gate. We, however, desired to see the other head-waters of the Shweli, and moved out of the Kai Tou in a west direction, crossing the river at [] miles by an elegant camel's-back wooden bridge, and then up the western slopes which fringe the valley of Kai Tou, and so to a pass 7,100 feet, from which there is a good view of Ming Kwang Pum, with its winter cap of snow.\n\nof\n\nDescending through a gorge at 9 miles from Kai Tou the path divides, one route bearing north-west into the Ming Kwang Valley, and the other which we followed, south-west to the bamboo huts of the village of Hokow, which is by the banks of the second or middle head-branch of the Shweli. This is a shallow stream, 30 yards broad, flowing over a pebbly bottom; its source is in the hills north of Ming Kwang Valley, and it is locally known as the Ming Kwang River. From Ho K'ou to Ming Kwang is only half a day's journey. In the hills near Ho K'on village silver is worked, and the ore is smelted at a small establishment by the roadside. The output is said to be inconsiderable.\n\nWading our beasts across the Ming Kwang stream, we marched south, along a good road, first by some padi-fields and then over bare downs, the stream being lost in a gorge to our left. At 16 miles we looked down on the extensive Hsi Lien Valley, and could trace across the plain the winding course of the Ming Kwang stream and of the third, most westerly and smallest, of the three head-streams of the Shweli; the two streams join in the south-east corner of the Hsi Lien Valley, and so flow on to their junction with the Ta Tang stream, from which point the Shweli proper may be said to begin. We descended to Ku Tung, the chief market of the Hsi Lien Valley, which contains much uncultivated land, though there is a fringe of villages along the banks of the streams, and irrigation works would do wonders for the whole valley. From Ku Tung to Teng Yueh is a long day's march, through not very populous upland valleys, in sight of the Ta Yin Shan hill the whole way until the traveller passes the north shoulder of that conspicuous mountain and descends into Teng Yueh.\n\n[2021-1]\n\nQ\n\n254", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391414, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 375, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "2\n\nI would beg to point out that the object of the prohibition is to prevent the rebels in Kuang-hsi from smuggling in munitions of war in exchange for cattle.

I immediately replied to Mr. Kao, informing him that as your Excellency's scheme was entirely at variance with the former decision of the Wai-wu Pu, I could not see my way to agree to it, and I requested him to convey my views to your Excellency accordingly.\n\nI have now the honour to confirm the opinions expressed in my note to Mr. Kao, and to inform your Excellency that I am still unable to assent to the terms proposed.\n\nWith respect to the proposition that the prohibition shall at first be withdrawn as regards Wuchow, Hsün, Chou, P'ing Lo, and Yu Lin only, I would point out that your Excellency has no authority whatever to this effect from the Wai-wu Pu; and further, that there is nothing in the Treaties which can be construed as limiting the area in which foreign merchants may conduct the cattle trade. I submit, therefore, that your Excellency has no right to thus arbitrarily alter existing Regulations.\n\nYour Excellency further states that foreign merchants engaged in the export of cattle will, in future, when applying for a pass, be required to report the name of that district which they are about to visit, together with the number of cattle to be purchased, and that these particulars must be duly entered in the pass; and further, that an officer will be deputed to accompany such merchants to the place of sale and watch proceedings.

The interview lasted nearly an hour, but reduced to its essence the argument advanced by the Viceroy through his Secretary was that he was acting entirely within his legal rights, but that, as a concession, he was prepared to withdraw the prohibition after the lapse of six months. Needless to say, I declined to discuss the proposal, and, continuing, I desired the Secretary to remind the Viceroy that the British Government had always been actuated by a friendly feeling towards China, but that the present high-handed action of the Viceroy, in withdrawing, without a word of warning, the Arrangement made between the British Minister in Peking and the Chinese Government allowing the export of cattle from Kuang-hsi, was both discourteous and unfriendly. Added to this I complained of the Viceroy's action in respect to the new opium tax. It had been declared contrary to Treaty by the Wai-wu Pu, yet the Viceroy had no hesitation in again forcing it on the importers.\n\nFurther, on the 7th August, the Viceroy sent his Secretary to request me to agree to allow cattle to be purchased in four districts only, and left me an aide-mémoire in writing to that effect. On the 9th the Secretary again called requesting my answer. I had already sent in a corresponding aide-mémoire in which I recapitulated the circumstances of the prohibition and its withdrawal by the former Governor of the province. I reminded the Secretary that the Viceroy had renewed the prohibition without the courtesy of any previous notice or consultation. I added that I was unable to agree to the Viceroy's proposal to allow the cattle trade to be carried on in four districts only. There was nothing in the situation in Kuang-hsi to warrant such a measure. Certainly, the situation at present was far less serious than during the time of Governor Wang, who, in accordance with instructions from the Chinese Government withdrew the prohibition fully and entirely. Here the Viceroy's Secretary turned to me, and in a confidential whisper imparted to me the explanation that the Viceroy's unwillingness to withdraw the prohibition unreservedly arose from the certainty of having to \"lose face\" before Chinese officials and people.

A suitable locality outside of the Imperial city is to be chosen, within the limits of which traders of all nationalities may erect shops and go-downs. It shall not be competent for them to organize a municipality or a police force, except with the consent of the Chinese Government, who reserve to themselves the rights of control within those limits. Any previously existing establishments outside of the limits must, within a given time, transfer themselves to the new locality.\n\nAnnex 3 consists of an exchange of notes regarding steam vessels trading on the inland waters. Certain characters have been left blank, and it is difficult to deduce the correct sense.\n\nThere appears, however, to be a restriction in the matter of tonnage, from which seventeen vessels trading in the Gulf of Pechili are exempt.\n\nAnnex 4 states that, in addition to the places mentioned in the body of the Treaty, China will, later on, open to foreign residence and trade Ch'ang-te (Hunan), Hu-k'ou (Kianghsi), Nganking (Anhui), Hsü-chou (Ssu-ch'uan).\n\nIn Annex 5 China agrees to relax her prohibition against the export abroad of cereals, on due official representation being made that there is a scarcity of food-stuffs in Japan.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ.

WITH reference to former correspondence on the subject of the establishment of a Government camphor monopoly in this province, I had the honour to forward with my despatch No. 20 of the 14th November, 1902, copy and translation of certain additional \"Regulations for Private Camphor Stills\" recently published by the Amoy Taotai. On the 26th January last I further reported that the Taotai had received no instructions from the Wai Wu Pu in the sense indicated in your despatch No. 9 of the 28th October, but that no attempt was for the present being made to enforce the Regulations above referred to. Since then Messrs. Butterfield and Swire and other British firms have openly purchased from the native producer in the interior, and have brought down to Amoy under transit pass, sundry small consignments of camphor, without experiencing any trouble whatever.\n\nOn the 28th July, however, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire reported that on the 21st their agent's office at Chang Ping was entered by a Chinese official and ten soldiers, who ordered our people to leave the place, giving as their reason that the camphor business belonged to the Government, and that we had no right to embark in it. Our staff, however, refused to leave the premises, and the soldiers withdrew. I accordingly wrote to the Changchow Taotai protesting against such molestation, and no further annoyance was experienced for the time being.\n\nOn the 12th instant Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had again to complain that on the 19th July a gang of policemen, under orders from the Lien Cheng District Magistrate, had arrested two of the workmen employed by them, and seized 230 catties of camphor, on the ground that camphor was a Government monopoly, and that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had no right to deal in it. Details were wanting, and therefore, whilst reporting the case with all reserve, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire asked that no steps be taken in the matter for the present. On the 15th instant they wrote giving further particulars, to the effect that one of their camphor men, named Su Chun, or Su Ting Kit, who had just returned to Amoy for the purpose of getting from Messrs. Butterfield and Swire some more funds, had been arrested by the Amoy police, at the request of the Lien Cheng Magistrate, on a charge of unlawfully engaging in the camphor trade. On the 16th they wrote stating that the man had been sent up by them with instructions to buy and (or) prepare camphor, and send same down to Amoy on their account; that they were not aware of any Regulations whatever to prevent their employé—a Chinese subject—from preparing camphor, but in any case would hold themselves responsible for ...\n\n[2250 g-1]\n\nB", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 394683, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 20, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "5\n\n18\n\nabove quoted, I have the honour to request that you will be good enough to ascertain, and inform me definitely in reply, whether Messrs. Butterfield and Swire did send Su Ting Chieh to Lien Ch'eng with orders to set up a still and prepare camphor there, so that I may take further action in the matter.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Hausser to Thotai Yen Nien.\n\n(Seal of Taotai.)\n\nAmoy, September 17, 1903. IN reply to your despatch of the 15th instant, I have the honour to state that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire wrote to me on that date to the effect that one of their employés, a man called Su Ting Chieh, came into Amoy the previous day for the purpose of getting from them some more funds for the purchase of camphor for Messrs. Butterfield and Swire. That on the same night he was arrested by order of the Hai Fang Ting, money to the extent of 22 dollars, together with a silver watch, being taken from him by the police runners.\n\nThe offence for which this man has been arrested appears to be that he has been engaged in the camphor trade in the interior. Messrs. Butterfield and Swire state that the man was sent up-country by them with instructions to buy and/or prepare camphor on their account, and to send same down to them in Amoy. They know of no Regulations whatever to prevent their employé—a Chinese subject—proceeding into the interior for this purpose; they are quite prepared to uphold the legality of, and hold themselves responsible for, their action in the matter, and protest emphatically against the arrest of their servant for simply carrying out their instructions. If the Chinese authorities have any complaint to make against Butterfield and Swire, the correct course would have been to lay the matter before me.\n\nMessrs. Butterfield and Swire add further that, since writing the above they have received a letter from their agent at Chang Ping to the effect that on the 11th instant a Japanese went to the village of Hsiao Hu She, where the villagers were preparing camphor for their Chang Ping agent, and after telling them that no persons but the Japanese himself was allowed to make camphor, took away from them about 23 catties of camphor oil and about 80 catties of camphor. This village is about 20 li from Chang Ping. The following night the Japanese visited their agent at Chang Ping, and seized from him 11 cases of camphor oil and 1 case of camphor, which were already in a boat engaged by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's agent to bring the camphor down to Amoy, and which were their own property.\n\nIn my despatches to you of the 5th July and the 5th December, 1902, I have already pointed out that, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, the proposed arrangements for the establishment of a Government Camphor Monopoly for the Province of Fukien constituted an infringement of the principle laid down in the XIVth Article of the French Treaty of Tien-tsin, by which coalitions for the purpose of establishing a commercial monopoly are prohibited, and I informed you that His Majesty's Minister had requested the Wai Wu Pu to issue instructions to the authorities concerned that no interference could be permitted with the right of British subjects to purchase camphor in the interior equally with other native produce.\n\nIn sending a native employé into the interior to purchase camphor from the native producer, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire are clearly within their Treaty rights. To enable them to purchase such native produce, it is equally clear that no monopoly of the production can be allowed in the case of camphor any more than in that of sugar, paper, or any other article. Having purchased the goods they require, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire are further, by Treaty, entitled to temporarily rent or hire godowns for the storage of such produce prior to its shipment to the port. In no respect, therefore, have they infringed any Treaty regulations. I must further point out that if, as stated by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, a Japanese subject claims to be allowed to manufacture camphor in the interior, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, or any other British subjects, are equally entitled under the most-favoured-nation clause to claim the same privilege, and that I am quite at a loss to understand why a Japanese employed as a technical expert should be going about in the interior looking for native camphor stills, and presuming so far as to seize goods belonging to a British merchant.\n\nThe man arrested having throughout acted under instructions from Messrs. Butterfield and Swire they alone are responsible, and I must therefore ask you to give orders for his immediate release, and for the restoration of the money, &c., taken from him by the police, and that you will at the same time send instructions for the immediate restoration of the camphor and camphor oil belonging to Messrs. Butterfield and Swire illegally seized by your Agent.\n\nIn order to dispose of the pretensions of the Fukien authorities to put in force Regulations nullifying the Treaties between our respective Governments, I am reporting this case to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, and sending him a copy of this despatch.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) P. F. HAUSSER.\n\nYour Highness,\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nSir E. Satow to Prince Ching.\n\nPeking, October 13, 1903. HIS Majesty's Consul at Amoy reports to me that the Chinese authorities at that port have arrested a Chinese employé of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, a British firm, on the ground that he has been engaging in the camphor trade in the interior, and further, that Japanese in the service of the official Camphor Bureau travel about the country prohibiting the natives from preparing camphor for sale to the foreign firms.\n\nIn my note of the 28th October of last year, I pointed out that the arrangements proposed to be established in Fukien Province were equivalent to a monopoly of camphor, and as such were, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, an infringement of Article XIV of the French Treaty of 1898. For a long time no steps were taken by the authorities to interfere with the exercise by British merchants of their Treaty privilege of freely purchasing native produce in the interior, but the reports from His Majesty's Consul show that such interference is now continually practised, to the injury not only of the interests of British merchants, but of the native producers.\n\nIn your Highness' reply to my earlier note, you stated that there was no monopoly because foreign merchants could purchase as much camphor as they pleased at market price from the Government Bureau. But it is of the essence of a monopoly that the holders of it become the only vendors, and there ceases to be a market price when there is no free sale and purchase by all persons who wish to sell or buy, and therefore on the Fukien authorities' own showing, their intention was to establish what the Treaty quoted specifically prohibits.\n\nI have, therefore, the honour to request that instructions may be sent to the local authorities that they must not interfere with the freedom of British merchants to purchase camphor wherever they please from any person, and that the people in the country are not to be prohibited from selling camphor to them.\n\nI avail, &c.

A sketch map is attached, but it does not profess to do more than give a general idea of the country traversed.\n\nMy objects in making this journey were:—\n\n1. To get some further knowledge of the valleys and country to the north of this city. I came to the conclusion that the population and resources of those regions are very considerable, and justify proposals for developing communications with Burmah.\n\n2. To explore the water-divide between the N'maikha on the one hand and the Salwen and Shweli Rivers on the other. I find that this divide would make a convenient frontier.\n\nIt would assign all the Chinese villages to China and all the Kachins to Burmah. There are no villages for 5-6 miles on either side of the divide.\n\n3. To collect information as to the alleged claims of the Chinese to certain tracts in the N'maikha Basin. I find that these claims are rather more extensive than was at first supposed, but that they are very flimsy, and, with possibly one exception, not based on any administrative control or acts. They are claims, moreover, not of the Chinese Government, but of the families of certain Chinese Chiefs.\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nG. LITTON.\n\nReport on a Journey in the North of the Teng Yueh Sub-prefecture, with special reference to the undelimited Burmah-China Frontier.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nI. Description of Journey and Country.\n\nTHE stone-paved high road, which leads out of the north gate of Teng Yueh city up the valley passes through populous country, and is usually busy with traffic from the villages of the plain and of the Upper Shweli Valley. At 64 miles we ascend to the gloomy little valley of Hai Kou, surrounded by limestone peaks covered with pines, and watered by a small lake or tarn, whence the Teng Yueh tributary of the Taiping River takes its source. An easy ascent to a col 6,500 feet leads into the basin of the Shweli, or Lung Chiang. The traveller descends a picturesque gorge between forest-clad hills inhabited by barking deer and pheasants to the Hsiang Yang Chiao, where there is a suspension bridge over the west or Ming Kwang branch of the Shweli, a little to the north of its junction with the east or Ta Tang branch. Close by is the busy little market of Chu Chih.\n\nThe river here emerges from a gorge, and is 30 to 40 yards wide, much broken by rapids, and with some deep pools, which afford good mahseer fishing. As I had already visited the fertile and populous valley of Kai Tou, through which the Ta Tang River flows, and which is situated along the west flank of the great Salwen divide, I turned north from the bridge into the mountains on the left bank of the Ming Kwang branch, and soon reached a country of upland downs (at an average elevation of 7,000 feet), which is characteristic of the northern part of Teng Yueh Sub-prefecture. Grassy slopes, diversified with clumps of pine trees or patches of heavy forest, afford abundant pasture for considerable flocks of sheep and herds of ponies and cattle. I was astonished to find such a large head of animals throughout the country, and the numbers would no doubt be largely increased if there was good ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395134, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 471, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "(This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government)\n\n468\n\nCHINA TRADE,\n\nCONFIDENTIAL\n\n[August 15.]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\nIt is unlikely, in my opinion, that His Majesty's Government will assent to a portion of the Customs revenue being diverted to any other purpose than those stipulated in Article 6 of the Protocol.

(Signed) ERNEST SATOW.\n\nYour Imperial Highness,\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Conger to Prince Ching,\n\nPeking, June 21, 1904.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Imperial Highness' note of the 9th instant, inclosing a proposition for the Conservancy of the Whangpu River which the Chinese Government desires to substitute for the arrangement agreed to by China and the Powers in the Final Protocol of September 1901, and contained in Annex 17 thereto.\n\nFor three years the Chinese Government has been repeatedly urged by the Representatives of the Signatory Powers to appoint the Chinese member which it has the privilege of appointing under Article 4 (h) of Annex 17, in order that the work arranged for by the Protocol might be begun, and several times I have been personally assured by your Highness and other members of the Wai Wu Pu that the said appointment would be speedily made,\n\nOf course, your Imperial Highness is well aware that a change in the Protocol or the adoption of any new plan must be unanimously accepted by all the Signatory Powers. In their present form I fear the proposals of the Chinese Government will not meet with unanimous approval, and the presentation of them must necessarily cause great delay. The Chinese Government can hardly expect that the Powers will consent to the appropriation for this purpose of any portion of the Customs revenue, which is already wholly pledged to the payment of foreign loans and indemnities, or agree to its diversion to any other purpose than that stipulated in Article 6 of the Protocol.\n\nBesides, the proposals now made, in my judgment, do not offer the same guarantees for the faithful execution of the necessary works as those which were agreed to by China and the Powers in 1901.\n\nPropositions similar to these were some time since made to me verbally by one of the Ministers of your Board, and I replied that until the Chinese Government evidenced its intention to carry out the provisions of Article 4 (h) of Annex 17, by appointing its member of the Conservancy Board, I could not entertain any proposition whatever for a change in the plan already agreed upon.\n\nBut, since the proposals have come to me in a formal manner, I will, as your Imperial Highness requests, transmit them at once to my Government. Under present circumstances, however, I am unable to recommend their adoption.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nExtract from Chungking Intelligence Report, January 1 to date.\n\nLi-kin.\n\nTHE Viceroy, through his henchman, the Chief of the Head Li-kin Office at Chengtu, Liu Tsung Tai, has during the last two or three months made it perfectly clear that he is determined to obtain every quota of li-kin available; nor are the sums collected to find their way in such large proportions as formerly into the pockets of the subordinate officials collecting them. Almost the first official to suffer locally was his Excellency the Taotai, who was charged with want of energy in prosecuting the li-kin collection, and was eventually transferred temporarily to the Chufan Nan circuit. (See \"Official Changes.”) Subsequently, the four officials in charge of the export li-kin (Hsin Li-chin) offices situated-- (1) in the city; (2) at Hsiang K'uo Ssu, on the Little River; (3) at Tang Chia T'o, 30 li below Chungking; and (4) at Hui Lung Ssu, the same distance above--were, one and all, discharged and replaced by officers specially sent from Chengtu, the Taotai here having expressed himself unable to find on the spot men of sufficient ability to satisfy the Viceroy's requirements.\n\nTwo Proclamations bearing on this subject have appeared: the first, which was posted on the 28th March, had for its object the diversion of the export duty on opium emanating from Fuchou from the hands of the foreign Customs at Chungking into those of the li-kin authorities. Fuchou is the mart for the drug produced in the rich districts of Liangshan and Fengtu, and is distant on the up-river trip from seven to ten days from Chungking. It has in the past been the practice of the li-kin officials to issue to purchasers of opium in the interior, who had duly notified their intention to bring the commodity to Chungking for export through the Imperial Maritime Customs, passes exempting them from any payment to the li-kin offices other than the provincial li-kin of 5.28 taels. The Proclamation in question, while expressing surprise that merchants, unless moved by some desire to evade li-kin, should subject the drug to the long up-river journey from Fuchou to Chungking, to there ship it through the foreign Customs, took especial care to lay stress on the fact that, in future, the passes hitherto issued by the li-kin officials would cease. Further, that the buyer in the interior, unless furnished with a transit pass (\"Tzu K'ou Ping Chu\") granted by the Imperial Maritime Customs, would be compelled to pay his export duty and li-kin to the li-kin authorities, i.e.—\"robbing Peter\" the Imperial Government, \"to pay Paul\"--the provincial. The scheme, too, if carried into effect, would, apart from its adverse influence on the revenue of the foreign Customs, have been a bitter blow to the principal shipping firms engaged in the carrying trade by chartered junk, namely, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., and the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company. The last would have suffered most, and lost little time in petitioning the Commissioner of Customs to exert himself to assist them. At the same time Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s agent appealed to me to see to it that no privilege should be given to the China Merchants which did not also apply to them--a somewhat unnecessary request. The Commissioner represented the matter.\n\nPage 2103\n\n \n[2103 p-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395135, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 472, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "2\n\nmatter to the Taotai, pointing out among other things: (1) that a transit pass for opium was a non-existent document; and (2) that, whereas the total dues now charged on opium shipped through the foreign Customs were 5.28 taels li-kin, 20 taels export or departure duty at Chungking and 52 taels arrival duty at Ichang, these would under the new arrangement, whereby the Szechuan departure duty became payable to the li-kin authorities, be augmented by the payment of an arrival duty of 20 taels to the Imperial Maritime Customs at Ichang on shipment of the drug on board steamer at that port. In other words, the total duty charged would be 97.28 taels in lieu of 77.28 taels. He also endeavoured to make it clear that the dues on the drug not destined for places beyond Shanghae had all along fallen to the share of the li-kin authorities, and that, seeing that Szechuan had now as competitors in the opium production of the Empire the Provinces of Shantung, Honan, Anhui, Kiangsu, Kwangsi, Yunnan, and Kweichow, the policy of increasing the dues on the opium shipped through the Imperial Maritime Customs to Shanghae, the south and the coast ports, was a suicidal one, involving an increase in price to the consumer of the Szechuan article and a consequent fall in the demand.\n\nIn the end, the Proclamation was withdrawn and a return made to the practice hitherto in force. I may here mention that, were Wan Hsien an open port, it would be the natural outlet for the opium produced in the Liangshan and Fengtu districts, which would thus be spared the up-river trip to Chungking to permit of shipment through the foreign Customs.\n\nOn the 16th ultimo a further Proclamation was posted notifying the inauguration of an export li-kin on goods leaving Chungking by the three main land routes.\n\nThese are:-\n\n1. Through the Chao Tien gate, and thence across the Little River to Chiang-pei from which, following along the course of this waterway, it runs viâ Hochou and Suining to Chengtu.\n\n2. Through the Nan Chi and Tung Yuan gates viâ Fu Ton Kuan to Yung Chutan, Pi Shan Hsien, Chiang Chin, Ta Tsu, Jung Chang, Lang Chang, &c., and Chengtu.\n\n3. Through the Taiping and Ch'u Ch'i gates to Hai T'an Ch'i across the Yang-tsze, thence to the Kweichow Province.\n\nThe rapacity displayed by Chao Chian, the deputy in charge of this collection, did not stop short of the smallest article passing through the gates mentioned to the places indicated. His p'iao were for as infinitesimal a sum as 1 cash, and not even a box of matches, pair of shoes, hat, piece of ribbon, &c., purchased by peasants and coolies were exempt. In the prosecution of his scheme he detained, as a li-kin payment on a consignment of bristles purchased by the Chungking Trading Company and passing through the Taiping gate, a case and basket of these goods which were about to cross the river to the godowns of the Company on the opposite side. Mr. Nicholson, the local representative of the firm at once requested me to obtain their release, which was duly effected. Mr. Chao's life was a short one: the populace was becoming so enraged at his impositions that the sacking of his Yamen was determined upon. On hearing of this, the Tantai sent a hasty wire to the Viceroy; the Commandant of the local militia had his men under orders to appear on the scene at the first sign of disturbance and to attempt, by exhortation-not by use of arms-to prevent the people achieving their purpose; while the deputy in charge of the Lao li-kin (import), whose office is situated in the same street as that of his confrère, lost no time in putting up a Proclamation to the following effect: \"It is not me: these are not my ways. It is the man next door: vent your wrath upon him.\" The Viceroy saved the situation by telegraphing the dismissal of Chao and placing the Chungking Prefect temporarily in charge.\n\nIt will be seen from the above how determined is the effort being made to stimulate the li-kin collection, the work, as I have already stated, of the Chief of the Head Li-kin Office at Chengtu. On the 25th March last, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. reported that a consignment of their goods, properly furnished with transit passes for Chengtu, had there been detained for li-kin and requested me to obtain their release. Having satisfied myself that the case was a bona fide one, I communicated by telegraph with His Majesty's Consul-General, who at once effected the required release.\n\n(Signed)\n\nH. E.

(Extract.)\n\nChungking, June 30, 1904.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose herewith copy of a Report on the trade of Thibet with the Province of Szechuan, through Kuan Hsien, Mao Chow, and Sungp'an, written by the Commissioner of Customs at this port, and which that gentleman has kindly allowed me to transmit for your Lordship's confidential information. Mr. W. C. H. Watson has been stationed for three years in Chungking, and is well acquainted with the commercial conditions of the province.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nReport on the Trade of Thibet.\n\nKuan Hsien.-The trade of Kuan Hsien is of considerable importance, as may be seen from the figures given in the table. Situated as the town is on the border-line dividing Chinese Szechuan proper from that portion of the province inhabited by the Mantzu tribes, the chief business of the place consists of dealings in wool, soda, indigo, and of the medicines of the Chinese pharmacopoeia for which these districts are noted. It is also the centre of many coal mines, the produce of which is in demand on account of the excellence of the output. Medicines are brought in by merchants who periodically visit the tribesmen for purposes of trade and with whom dealings are conducted by a system of exchange and barter. A Chinese merchant will come into Kuan Hsien with the stock he has thus procured, proceed to one of the many inns, and inform the inn-keeper of what he has for sale. The inn-keepers act as a sort of brokers; they have the daily price of staples posted up in their establishments, and introduce customers. Customers thus introduced, mostly agents for Chengtu firms, buy on credit of one or two months, as the case may be, and the innkeeper is responsible to the seller for the payment of goods when due. For his services he charges a fixed rate of 3 per cent. on all transactions taking place at his inn. Ready money dealings are rare and do not appear to be appreciated.\n\nESTIMATED Annual Quantities of Goods passing inwards through Kuan Hsien.\n\n \n Description\n Classifier of Quantity\n Quantity\n Value\n \n \n Medicines\n Value\n \n Taels. 180,000\n \n \n Young deer horns\n Catties\n 1,500\n 30,000\n \n \n Old deer horns\n Piculs\n 1,500\n 6,000\n \n \n Musk\n Taels\n 16,000\n 216,000\n \n \n Wool\n Piculs\n 5,000\n 55,000\n \n \n Indigo\n Value\n \n 160,000\n \n \n Soda\n \n \n 150,000\n \n \n Timber\n \n \n 60,000\n \n \n Total\n \n \n 847,000\n \n\n[2108 u-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395137, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 474, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "471\n\n4\n\non the shores of the Koko-nor. The Chinese complain of the difficulty of obtaining the musk in its pure state owing to adulteration by the tribesmen, whom they report as being most expert in injecting blood into the \"pod\" containing the secretion directly after the animal is killed. It is, however, an open question whether the Celestials are not themselves the worst offenders in this respect; anyway, musk when it reaches Shanghae is said to contain 20 per cent. and over of foreign matter. Lu-jung, or deer horns in velvet, is a much prized medicine among the Chinese; but the quality of horn obtainable at Sungp'an is reported as inferior to that coming from Tachienlu and Kuan Hsien.\n\nC\n\nLive Stock. The tribesmen around Sungp'an go in extensively for raising sheep, oxen, and horses, the grassy slopes of the hills, in addition to the moorlands of the Amdon, providing most excellent grazing ground for their flocks and herds. The figure for beasts given in the table is the number sent down annually to supply the markets of North-Western Szechuan, including those of the Chengtu Plain. A fine, full-grown sheep can be bought at Sungp'an for 1.30 taels, the smaller ones for 9 mace. Goats are a little more expensive, the price ranging from 1.20 taels to 2 taels a-head. Besides those exported, some 7,000 sheep annually are slaughtered at Sungp'an. Oxen and yaks fetch from 5 to 7 taels each.\n\nWool—Large quantities of this staple must be used by the tribesmen for the manufacture of the serge cloth (called by the Chinese \"Pu-lu\"), which is worn by all, not excluding the Llamas and women. Of the amount of the wool sent south but a minute proportion is used by the Chinese; it is only in fact within late years, since the foreign demand became known, that there was any trade to speak of at Sung'an in this article; and the wool purchases now made are mostly on account of foreign firms. Owing to this new demand, the local price of wool has increased to more than double its former figure, i.e., from 5 taels ten years ago to 10 to 11 taels, the present price per picul. The wool sent down is said to contain quite 25 per cent. of dirt, and, it might naturally be asked, considering the cost for transport and li-kin before it reaches Chungking, why means have not been devised to have it properly cleaned at Sungp'an. I purposely brought this point before the leading merchants, and they informed me that the matter had been well considered; and, although the place offered facilities for the establishment of cleansing houses, the water of the river was too cold to work with locally. If this to them-insuperable difficulty could be got over they would be able to pack the wool well and cheaply ready for direct shipment abroad. The present practice is simply to separate, as it arrives from inland, the better and cleaner quality wool from the rest before making it up into rough unprotected bundles for conveyance south by coolie or mule.\n\nTea—This is by far the most important on the list of articles brought up from the south for sale to the tribesmen, it being in fact to them an absolute necessity. The stuff, however, is hard to recognize as the staple from which is brewed \"the cup that cheers.\" The contents of the bundles I saw opened resembled more than anything else a packed collection of dried twigs, while the infusion obtained from them is as unlike one's idea of tea as it is possible to conceive. These things, anyway, are a matter of taste, and the cheapness of the twigs is a consideration. The better quality tea comes from the Kuan Hsien district, and is invariably packed in large square matted parcels (\"pao\") containing 120 catties. Each of these \"pao\" is valued at 8.00 taels, but the purchasing price at Kuan Hsien (untaxed) is 1.10 taels. The supply coming from the Shih Tsuen districts is packed in smaller parcels holding 66 catties, valued in Sungp'an at 2.50 taels each. The trade is a monopoly in the hands of the five Ch'a Hao, or tea hongs, which also control the chief business of Sungpan besides. The names of the four chief hongs are Feng Sheng Ho, I Ho Ch'uan, Pen Li Sheng, and Ting Li Yuan. Branches of these establishments are maintained in the commercial centres of Chengtu, Kuan Hsien, Mien Chow, and Shih Tsuen, and other places. The head offices are managed, with one exception, by Mahommedans, who are looked up to by all with the greatest respect. The control of the tea traffic supplying Thibet is vested in the Yen Ch'a Tao at Chengtu, and all packages are supposed to have a label bearing the characters \"Yin Ch'a\" stamped with his seal. The number of these \"Yin p'iao\" issued annually does not exceed 30,000, and the tax for each \"p'iao\" is 1.20 taels to cover one package, two small \"pao\" being reckoned as one. I heard, however, that by a mutual concession the Ch'a Hao have agreed to take up and pay for 28,000 \"p'iao\" annually if they be supplied with 30,000, and further, so long as the monopolists do not overdo it, a matter of 5,000 packages more can be conveyed up without any impost whatever. Thus the burden of taxation is considerably lessened for the tea hongs, while the Government derives a certain revenue from this source of 33,600 taels a year, and is spared the trouble and expense of the upkeep of an efficient controlling staff. On account of the difficulty of being always able to obtain a sufficient means of transport and stoppage of traffic, which not infrequently happens through a spell of rain making certain sections of the road impassable, the tea hongs have established depôts at Mao Chow and Ping-ting-kuan, where tea is stored to meet any unforeseen demand. From Sungpan the tea is conveyed inland on the backs of yaks under the charge of a Chinese employé of the Ch'a Hao, or of a trusted Hsifan agent. Caravans are regulated so as to proceed in fairly strong numbers. The men accompanying them being well armed, they are thus enabled, if necessary, to keep off roving bands of robbers, who are said to be ready to pounce on and pillage any party they think they can overcome. These caravans return laden with the different merchandise for which they have exchanged their previous cargo, and the profits made on transactions seem to be sufficient to compensate for the length of time, sometimes nine months, capital has to remain idle. The Manager of the principal Ch'a Hao told me that his firm had always as much as 60,000 taels up-country in merchandise. The hongs do not, as previously stated, confine themselves to business in tea alone, but dispatch by caravan any other goods from which they think profit can be made.\n\n5\n\nTransport. To and from Sungp'an the carriage of merchandise is done by coolie and mule over an extremely difficult road, which, however, could be greatly improved if a little money were expended on its repair. When a landslip or fallen boulders make places quite impassable, an effort is made to patch up the damage, the expense being defrayed by subscription collected from the village inns whose business is in danger of suffering from the loss of passing traffic. The workmen also levy a toll of a few cash from passers-by during their work, which, when finished, is anything but really satisfactory. The Sungp'an merchants complain bitterly of the state of affairs existing, and several of them begged me to represent the matter to the Viceroy in the hope that something might be done to lessen this drawback to trade. The cost of transport from Kuan Hsien to Sungpan by coolie is 3,200 cash per man, while for a mule it runs up to 5 taels. The former will carry, as a rule, 120 catties and take thirteen days over the journey, the latter bear burdens of 240 catties and are a little quicker. Mule transport, however, is not always procurable, and the head muleteers, who are not at all to be depended upon to carry out their contracts, frequently drop goods en route to enable them to take up a better chance offering, and then come back to continue with those they have for the time being left lying. So bad has this custom become, that merchandise will sometimes take as long as six months to reach its destination. The difficulty in securing transport is the reason why there is always a large stock of wool stored at Sungp'an, for it is the class of cargo the least liable to damage by being kept, and other merchandise has therefore the preference of carriage. Whether it would pay the larger firms to run their own mule caravans and thus be independent of the gang of muleteers is a moot question, I think, although the merchants themselves emphatically assured me that it would not, and that they consider it the better plan to lessen the evil existing by the establishment of depôts en route. The yaks, however, employed exclusively for the inland transport belong to firms engaged in the up-country business, and the drivers are always Hsifans. It may be here mentioned that carrying coolies on the road are invariably Chinese, the tribesmen never being seen with loads on their backs.\n\nLi-kin.—Before concluding, I will add a few words on the subject of li-kin. The total sum reported to the Throne last year as collected for the province under the head of Pai-Ho li-kin was 500,000 taels, while the cost of its collection ran up to 10,000 taels. Salt li-kin was reported at 2,000,000 taels, and that for opium, 900,000 taels. It was only in the year 1894, at the instigation of the then Viceroy, Lu Chuan-lin, that Barriers were erected at the two rope bridges, but were instantly demolished by the people, who refused compliance with the new levy. No drastic steps were then taken to enforce obedience, but, at the present moment, Weiyuan are deputed to collect li-kin at both these places, and they do so now without any opposition. This additional impost has, however, diverted a lot of the trade from Sungp'an, which now branches off at Mao Chow for Chung-pa and Mienchu-hsien. I was unable to get a tariff of this li-kin, which appears to be collected without method or rule, and merchants complain of great extortion as they speak of the time when the barrier outside of the north gate of Mao Chow was the only li-kin station between Sungpan and Chengtu. This Mao Chow barrier levies a Sanfei, i.e., three expenditure li-kin (expenses for Crown litigation, travelling expenses for officials on duty, wages of \"chai-jen,\" &c.) on all goods from Mao Chow, and also...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395141, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 478, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "Customs during the same period. It was admitted by the Taotai Hsü Chio to Mr. J. Scott that the annual import of native opium into the Canton Province was believed to be 12,000 piculs (see Mr. Scott's No. 25 of the 18th March to yourself); but there is nothing to show that, if the Viceroy's new scheme were accepted, this 12,000 piculs would be taxed, and no one believes that one-quarter of it could be reached by revenue officers of the Provincial Government. Even supposing that the Canton revenue collectors could take official cognizance of this native opium, I consider that their present methods are so far short of those of the Imperial Maritime Customs—that, in fact, abuses are so much the rule and not the exception—that we should be justified in resisting a new opium tax until it was clear that native and foreign opium would in reality be treated on an equal basis.\n\nThere is a further objection which applies to foreign opium consumed in Canton. At the close of a controversy over li-kin and local levies, a former Viceroy admitted in a despatch of the 29th July, 1902 (inclosed in Mr. J. Scott's No. 64 of the 1st August, 1902, to you), that steamer-imported foreign goods which had paid duty at the Imperial Maritime Customs, and were then disposed of within the Treaty port area, were not liable to pay li-kin. This specific admission of a Treaty right long contended for appears to me to preclude the imposition within the port limits of a tax on foreign opium such as the Viceroy now proposes.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nC. W. CAMPBELL\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nProposed Agreement to Farm out to the Yung-an-tang the Prepared Opium Licence Fees in the Province of Kwangtung.\n\nThe system of levying the fees on foreign and native prepared opium in the Province of Kwangtung varies with the districts; in some places the collection is in the hands of the local officials; elsewhere they are assisted by a deputy of the higher authorities; in many parts it has not been found worth while to levy the fees at all. The present Syndicate is prepared to pay 120,000 taels a-year to the Provincial Government for the privilege of collecting these fees throughout the province at the fixed rate of 3 candareens per tael weight of prepared opium, thereby introducing a universal system of levy.\n\n2. The fees will be calculated on the weight of the prepared article; the original weight of the raw material will not be taken into consideration.\n\n3. The fees will be levied solely from the dealers by whom the opium is prepared; the consumers will not be taxed in any way.\n\n4. Should the monopoly be granted, the Syndicate will deposit with the Provincial Government the sum of 60,000 taels, payable in two equal instalments; the first as soon as the official approval of the arrangement is signified, and the second on the issue of the usual official Proclamations in connection therewith. The Syndicate will then fix a date for commencing operations, and report the same to the authorities. The preliminary deposit of 60,000 taels will be deducted from the yearly contribution at the expiration of the agreement.\n\n5. The area within which the Syndicate proposes to operate being very extensive, some time must necessarily elapse at the outset before the money begins to flow in. It is therefore proposed to pay the first instalment of the regular yearly contributions at the end of the first quarter; all subsequent payments to be made monthly.\n\n6. The Hsin-ho Bank, which is situated in the western suburb of Canton City, and is known as a substantial concern, is prepared to guarantee the full amount of all payments due by the Syndicate, thus securing the public funds against loss.\n\n7. It is understood that the Syndicate is not entitled to levy anything beyond the fixed rate of 3 tael cents per tael weight of opium. Should it be found to have done so, this Agreement is to be cancelled.\n\n8. In the years in which an intercalary moon occurs, the fixed contribution of 120,000 taels shall be proportionately increased. All sums paid in by the Syndicate shall be assessed by the official weights. The Syndicate shall hold the farm for a period of six years; during that term the authorities shall not be at liberty to accept any other offer, even a higher one, for the farm.\n\n9. Should the proposed arrangement be approved by the authorities, an official Proclamation to that effect shall be posted in the Syndicate's premises, and copies thereof, duly sealed, shall be distributed to all the branch offices for the information of the public. The civil and military officials throughout the province shall also be duly notified, and instructed to render the Syndicate every assistance in cases of refusal to pay the fees, or disturbance or of an organized boycott.\n\n10. An experienced deputy shall be appointed to visit and inspect all the Syndicate's branch establishments, and to keep order generally; his salary and expenses to be met by the Syndicate. Should dishonest dealers or local rowdies anywhere make trouble, or should yamen runners or soldiers endeavour to extort money, they shall, on the matter being reported to the proper authorities, be duly punished.\n\n11. The Syndicate shall issue licences to the various dealers in prepared opium, and these shall then pay to the Syndicate the fixed levy of 3 tael cents for every tael weight of opium sold by them. None shall be exempted from procuring such a licence; if any fail to do so and retail opium in secret, they shall be liable to be punished and to have their premises sealed up.\n\n12. It is understood that the privilege of levying and collecting the prepared opium licence fees throughout the whole province will be vested in the Syndicate. Consequently, in those cases where the authorities have been accustomed to credit their official account with such fees, they should be instructed to refrain from doing so in future.\n\n13. Opium dealers who, being in possession of a licence, wish to wind up their business, should apply to the Syndicate, and if their application appears to be bona fide, their licence will be duly cancelled, and they will be permitted to discontinue their remittances. If they neglect to get their licence cancelled, they will be required to remit as usual. Should any, after their licence has been cancelled, carry on business in secret, they shall on proof of the same being adduced, be liable to pay the licence fees in full.\n\n14. All locally grown and prepared opium shall, in common fairness, pay the same levy as the rest.\n\n15. Owing to the great extent of Kwangtung, the Syndicate would find great difficulty in collecting the licence fees throughout the province, and would, consequently, ask to be allowed to sublet the branch establishments in the more remote parts of the country, in the same way as the Wei-hsing Lottery Syndicate sublets its branch establishments.\n\n16. Any dealer taking over a business which has been wound up and for which the licence has been cancelled shall be obliged to take out a fresh licence, whether he carries on the business under the old style or not.\n\n17. Merchants who engage in other lines of business, in addition to dealing in prepared opium, cannot on that account be exempted from paying the regular fees.\n\n18. Under the old system, whenever the deputy appointed to collect the licence fees handed over charge to his successor, the dishonest dealers bribed the clerks to alter the books, reducing the sums shown as payable by them, thereby defrauding the revenue to a considerable extent. In order to prevent such malpractices when the Syndicate takes over the collection, it should be enabled to ascertain beforehand the exact amounts due, and empowered to collect these amounts in full with custom.\n\n19. The Syndicate will engage its own men to patrol the various districts within its sphere of operations, to collect the licence fees and to search for smuggled opium. The Syndicate will provide flags and uniforms for these employés, and would ask to be excused from furnishing a list of the men. It also wishes to be excused from furnishing an account of the profits made after all expenses have been met, including hire of launches and boats and payment of salaries and wages, such exemption being strictly in accordance with any other.\n\n20. In order to minimize the losses that may result from carelessness or from any other cause, the Syndicate wishes to hire its own steam-launches for the purpose of carrying the remittances and of patrolling the various districts. For this purpose official papers would be required, as well as dragon flags; also Customs passes and log-books, to enable the launches to pass the various Customs stations with the minimum of delay. The Syndicate will of course meet all expenses in connection with these launches, including the supply of the necessary weapons when armed expeditions are fitted up for the purpose of seizing smuggled opium. When these launches have been chartered, a complete list of them will be furnished to the authorities.\n\n21. No unreasonable claims will be paid by the Syndicate.

All shops selling prepared opium must pack it in boxes and seal up the place where the lid opens with their numbered permit.

I HAVE the honour to inform you that certain Chinese merchants, calling themselves the Yung An Tang, have now farmed the tax upon boiled opium for an annual payment of 120,000 taels, to be paid to the Chinese authorities. The farm commenced on the 10th September. They do not propose to increase the tax, which will still remain at its former figure of 3 candareens for every tael weight of opium boiled. All they are attempting to do is to prevent, as far as possible, the evasion of the tax, collecting about 60\n\nper cent. of the amount actually due, instead of only 30 per cent., as was the case when the tax was levied by the officials. They expressly state that they will not raise any objection so long as the quantity reported as sold does not differ materially from the quantity actually sold.\n\nThis new departure has naturally provoked a good deal of opposition. There are 600 opium shops in Canton and Honam, about half of which have accepted the new régime. The rest of the shops resisted, and attempted to force the farmers to fix for each shop the amount to be taxed monthly, taking into consideration the small amount taxed under the old régime. This was, of course, refused, and the agitators threatened to stop business, began to subscribe funds for organized resistance, and committed acts of aggression upon opium-shop keepers who refused to identify themselves with the movement, to the no small alarm of the latter.\n\nThe farmers thereupon petitioned the authorities, and proclamations were accordingly issued by the Reorganization Board and the Nanhai and P'anyü Magistrates, directing the opium shops to continue to carry on their business, and to report the true amount of opium to be taxed; also warning them that, in case of any strike, disturbance, or aggression committed upon other shops, it would rest with the farmers to report the offenders to the authorities for punishment.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nB.

Walsham,\n\nCanton, October 10, 1887.\n\nI HAVE the honour to submit for your Excellency's consideration a question that has been put to me, whether a tax levied on prepared opium of 3 tael cents per tael weight is not in contravention of the understanding of the new Opium Convention, under which it is argued all li-kin, at the port of entry at least, is commuted for the 80 taels paid on clearance at the custom-house.\n\nI have promised to submit the subject to your Excellency, but I have informed the applicant that personally I am unable to raise the question with the Chinese authorities before doing so, for although it would appear that when agreeing that the sum of 80 taels per chest li-kin should be paid on importation, in addition to the 30 taels import duty, Her Majesty's Government never contemplated that a further sum of some 30 taels li-kin should be levied on the drug before it reaches the pipes of the consumers, still, the terms of the Agreement merely give the merchant the right to bring the drug into the market at the port or carry it into the interior in sealed packages; and when it has reached its destination or has been removed from these packages, there is no provision exempting it from further taxation when retailed.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nPrince Ch'ing to Sir E. Satow.\n\nK. H. xxx. 4th 30th (June 3, 1904). ON the 31st May the Board received a telegram from the Viceroy of Canton to the effect that licences for the sale of prepared opium had formerly been in operation in that province for many years, and that in 1902 it was altered to a system for calculating the amount of prepared opium from the raw drug, the administration of the prepared opium certificates being intrusted to merchants, but this system was abolished in consequence of instructions from the Board. The revenue derived from the licences for the sale of prepared opium was thus entirely lost, and the Commissioners and the Board now request that the system may be re-established, the levy being collected only from the prepared drug. This would in no way affect the Chefoo Convention.\n\nThe Viceroy has already authorized the establishment of a Board for experimental working.\n\nWe have the honour to observe that the question of additional taxation on prepared opium in Canton Province formed the subject of a despatch from Mr. Townley to the Board in the sixth moon of last year (August 1903). From the above telegram from the Viceroy it appears that it is proposed to adopt the plan formerly in force in the province for the collection of a tax on licences for the sale of prepared opium in order to avoid the\n\n[2103 -1]\n\nE\n\n477\n\nPage 480\n\nPage 481", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395219, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 556, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "4\n\nmost advantageous for Kongmoon, but it seems unlikely that the natives will do so without the prospect of some appreciable benefit, make a change which would involve taking their cargo half a day's journey further in order to put it on board the foreign\n\nThe railway may also assist Samshui in holding its own.\n\nsteamer.\n\nIII.-Naval and Military.\n\nThis Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nCHINA TRADE.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[September 26,\n\nSECTION 2.\n\n553 35217\n\nRESTI OCT 041\n\nForeign officials.\n\nWork of British Consulate.\n\nChinese officials.\n\nIV.

My Lord,\n\nPeking, August 8, 1904. I HAVE the honour to inclose a translation of the Provisional Regulations for the Registration of Trade-marks in China, drawn up by the Board of Commerce.\n\nAs will be seen, they differ considerably from the Draft Regulations prepared by the Maritime Customs Authorities at Shanghai, a copy of which was sent to your Lordship by the Commercial Attaché in January last, but are, in the latter's opinion, likely to work more satisfactorily,\n\nThe Regulations, substantially in their present form, were communicated to me officially by the Board of Foreign Affairs on the 9th June, with an intimation that the Board of Commerce were anxious to submit them to the Throne for sanction within the next few days, and I was therefore requested to express my views within that time. I replied that I was unable to express any opinion on them without consulting the Commercial Attaché at Shanghai, to whom I thereupon transmitted them in original, inviting him to prepare a translation, and to furnish me with his observations. I pointed out to him that, as the Regulations were stated to be provisional in character, and as, moreover, they formed a first step on the part of the Chinese Government towards the attainment of a very desirable end, I was not disposed to criticize them in any carping spirit, though it would be, of course, necessary to protest against any provisions that seemed likely to prove burdensome or impracticable.\n\nIn reply, he sent me the despatch of which I have the honour to inclose a copy, giving the results of an examination of the Regulations by a meeting of British merchants at Shanghai, and the suggestions put forward. With some of these I found myself unable to concur, as, for instance, with the recommendation that the Chinese Registrar-General should have at his side qualified foreign advice, for it would have involved recognition of a Japanese expert recently engaged by the Board of Commerce, and this is inadvisable, it being extremely doubtful whether his influence will be a wholesome one.\n\nNor did I feel myself in a position to protest against the proposed scale of fees, bearing in mind the ruling of the Board of Trade, communicated to me in your Lordship's telegram No. 87 of the 16th May.\n\nBut on most of the other points raised I entered into discussion with the Board of Commerce, who eventually agreed to make some modifications to meet my views, and these are now incorporated in the Regulations. Mr. Jamieson's translation has been corrected so as to correspond with the Chinese text as thus altered.\n\nThe Board has been in correspondence on this subject, not only with myself but with my American and Japanese colleagues, as the Representatives of Powers whose Treaties contain a stipulation with regard to trade-marks.\n\nThe Regulations having been framed under Japanese advice, the Japanese Minister has naturally found little difficulty in accepting them, but my United States' colleague is still awaiting a report from Shanghai before expressing a definite opinion.\n\nAs the date for the coming into force of the Regulations is intended to be the 23rd October, I have the honour to suggest that the translation of the Regulations, as now inclosed, should be printed at once in readiness for circulation in England, leaving any subsequent modifications to be added later.\n\nI have, &c.

(Confidential.)\n\nTHE various routes that have from time to time been suggested or adopted for the French railway from Laokai to Yünnan-fu are marked on the accompanying map (compiled by \"le soldat Schneider,\" and published at Hanoi last November) by means of double lines. These routes are three-\n\n1. That proposed by the Mission d'Études in about 1898;\n\n2. The modifications subsequently introduced into this route by the engineers of the Travaux Publics of Tonquin;\n\n3. The \"trace\" of Herr von Kapp, adopted last year.\n\nThe first two ran up the valley of the Red River to Sinkai, thence along its tributary, the Sin-hsien Ho, and over a pass to the Mongtse Plain, whence the former followed the main road through Sinfang, Kuan-yi, Tunghai, Kiangchuan, and Tein-ning to Chiengkung and Yunnan-fu. The latter also kept this road as far as Kuanyi and a few miles further north; then it diverged to the west, so as to pass through Hsin-hsing Chou to K'unyang, on the southern extremity of the Tien-ch'ih, or Lake of Yünnan; it ultimately rejoined the main road at Tsin-ning.\n\nThe third route, which is the route that has now been finally adopted, is, it will be seen, entirely distinct from its predecessors. It leaves the Red River at Laokai itself, and runs up the valley of the Nam-hti (Nan-chi) to its head-waters in the hills, some 8 miles east of Mengtse. It is thence carried along, or through, those hills until it strikes, near A-mi Chou, the Lin-an River, an affluent of the Pei-ta Ho, which last is, in effect, the \"West River\" of Wuchow and Canton. A few miles further north the Pei-ta Ho itself is met, and up the gorges and valleys of this river the line runs until, a little beyond I-liang, it quits the river for its tributary, the torrent that drains the Yang-tsung Lake. It sweeps upward to the crest of the hills west of this lake, and having now attained—in fact, somewhat exceeded—the level of its terminus, finds little difficulty in crossing the remaining low passes into the Yunnan Plain.\n\nPrivate Schneider's map may be checked by the photographs of the track-chart prepared by the Société de construction. Of these a copy, courteously supplied by M. Guibert, Directeur des Travaux, is attached, together with similar photographs of—\n\n1. The profile of the line;\n\n2. A chart showing the position of the various concessions, or foreign establishments along it;\n\n3. A map of Yunnan city and its environs.\n\nFrom the profile it appears that the line leaves Laokai, the first station, at an elevation of 100 metres (328 feet) above sea-level; that in the first 74 kilom. (46 miles) it ascends gradually to 300 metres; and that during the next 80 kilom. it rises rapidly, at Milati attaining the height of 1,708 metres (3,535 feet); that it then falls to A-mi Chou, 1,056 metres (3,463 feet), whence the ascent is practically continuous to Shui-ya Tan, the highest point on the line, 2,020 metres (6,624 feet), 436 kilom. (271 miles) from Laokai. The elevation of Yunnan-fu, or rather of the station there, is given as 1,889 metres, or 6,196 feet.\n\nThe total length of the line, as now settled, is 464 kilom., or 290.88 miles (corrected from 4684 kilom.). This is divided into twenty-nine lots, or rather into thirty-two, as three of the lots are subdivided. These lots have been secured by fourteen contractors (\"entrepreneurs\") of whom the first and the last are French citizens, the rest being Italians. Their names, and the apportionment between them of the lots, are shown on the profile. It will be observed that two contractors have each taken up six lots; one contractor, four lots; five contractors, two lots apiece; and the remaining six contractors, one lot each.\n\nThe line is also shown to be divided into ten sections. Three of these contain four lots; six, three lots; and one, the ninth, two lots. Each section has its \"chef\" or head, and there is a \"sous-chef\" or assistant head, for each lot. Above the \"chefs des sections\" are two \"chefs de division,\" M. Dufour, who has his head-quarters at Mengtse, and M. Prud'homme, Chief of the second division, who is stationed at I-liang. Above these, again, is the director (\"Directeur des Travaux\"), who, with his staff, is quartered at Mengtse. The \"directeur\" was, till a few days ago, M. Guibert, but he has now left on a six months' \"congé,\" and is being replaced by Herr von Kapp, the confidential adviser of Count Vitali, President of the Société de Construction des Chemins de Fer.\n\nThe Association has a French register, and its \"Conseil\" meets in Paris. As is well known, it has constructed railways in, among other countries, Italy, Macedonia, and Asia Minor, and a great number of its employés in Yunnan are men who have for years been engaged in its service. Their doyen is, I believe, M. de Violini, Chief of the eighth section.\n\nI understand that the Chemin de Fer de Yünnan is the only considerable enterprise in which the Association is at the present time engaged; but of this I cannot speak positively. (The Society is said to be interested in the German Bagdad Railway.) For its work in Yunnan it is to be paid partly in cash and partly in shares of the concessionary Company, La Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de l'Indo-Chine et du Yünnan.\n\nThe interests of this Company are watched over from time to time by agents sent out for the purpose. The last of these, M. Getten, visited Yunnan-fu in April, returning along the line to Tonquin. He has since left for Paris.\n\nBy the Agreement between the Company and the Government of Indo-China, the latter is required to construct the line from Haiphong, on the coast, through Tonquin to Laokai, the frontier town, and to complete this line by the 1st April, 1905. The line (to which I shall refer later) is now in running order as far as Yenbay. Meanwhile, the Public Works Department (the Travaux Publics) of Tonquin also stations a Delegate in Yünnan to safeguard the interests of the Government of Indo-China, since this Government is, as I understand, eventually to receive one-half of the profits of the Haiphong-Yunnan-fu Railway. The Present Delegate, M. Richard, resides at Mengtse, but visits Yunnan-fu four or five times in the year.\n\nBefore dismissing the profile, attention may be drawn to the fact therein shown that there are to be eight stations, of varying classes, thus—\n\n \n Kilometre\n Station\n Class\n \n \n 70\n Laokai\n 1st\n \n \n \n La-hu-ti\n 3rd\n \n \n 155\n Ma-la-ti\n 3rd\n \n \n 164\n Mengtse\n 3rd\n \n \n 228\n A-mi Chou\n 2nd\n \n \n 298\n Po-si\n 3rd\n \n \n 398\n I-liang\n 3rd\n \n \n 468\n Yunnan-sen\n 1st\n \n\nand twenty-five sidings or stoppages (\"haltes\"). A-mi is, it may be noticed, almost midway between Laokai and Yunnan-fu.\n\nFrom the chart of \"Yünnan-sen\" it will be seen that this city, the capital of the Province of Yunnan, has six gates, and that while all of these, with the exception of the north gate, are surrounded by suburbs, the most thickly-peopled portions outside the wall lie to the south and east.\n\nPrevious to the Mahommedan rebellion (1857-73) almost the whole ground south of the city as far as the two pagodas (the \"vieille tour\" and \"tour neuve\" of the chart) was covered with houses, as was also the land for some third of a mile beyond the east wall.\n\nThe trend of the country is from the hills on the north and north-east down towards the great lake, south-west and south, with the result that the whole district south and west of the city is better suited for paddy fields than for building sites. Such is the case also with the lands between the old eastern faubourg and the hills 2 miles away to the east. The problem, then, that confronted the engineers of the Railway Company was to find an adequate space of sufficiently elevated ground on which to erect their station. The chart shows how it was first attempted to solve this problem. The original \"tracé\" ran alongside the \"route de Mengtse,\" and it was proposed to place an extensive yard in the angle formed between that route and the main road to Kueiyang.\n\nFrom this yard the line was to be continued to a still larger but less symmetrical enclosure to be formed outside the walls between the\n\nPage 15\n\n569", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395237, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 574, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "571\n\n&\n\nItalian contractor near A-mi Chou complained to me that, whereas in January he had 2,000 coolies on his \"lot,\" he had then (20th May) but a couple of dozen; if he could retain the full number his \"lot\" might be finished, the main tunnel excepted, within four months.\n\nThere have been many discussions on this subject of labour between the French Consulate General and the Local Government. The latter fear the introduction of men from the Two Kuang as being likely to lead to disturbances, and they advocate a system of native official recruitment amongst the Yunnanese, particularly of the north-east. The contractors have at present to find their own coolies, but there is much discontent among them, and I believe that they are awaiting the return of Herr von Kapp to ask that the Société de Construction should relieve them of this obligation.\n\nIt is in the Nam-hti Valley that the difficulty is most felt. The Yunnanese will not willingly descend the plateau to work there, so great is their dread of its insalubrity. The dread seems to be justified if it is true, as I am told, that, besides a great number of natives, some sixty Europeans have, from first to last, died victims to the malaria of the valley. \"Valley\" it hardly deserves to be called, but rather \"gorge.\" So steep in many places are the sides that to mark out the track men had to be lowered by ropes, their movements directed by signals from the other side of the ravine. There are, it is true, portions of the tract north of Mi-la-ti, and not inconsiderable portions, that are almost as precipitous, but the labour problem is not so acute in the northern division, and there are several intervals of comparative, or even positive, plain. It is agreed, in short, that the northern division will be completed, as far as earthworks are concerned, before the southern.\n\nFor their rails both divisions must wait until the Tonquin line reaches Laokai. According to the Agreement between the Government of Indo-China and the Railway Company, this line should reach Laokai by the 1st May next.\n\nThe question is whether it can do so. M. Guillemoto, head of the Travaux Publics in Indo-China, who has been energetically pushing this work, has just gone home on sick leave. According to a M. Laumonier, one of the leading contributors to the \"Courrier d'Haiphong\" (the 14th May, 1904), the line from Yenbay to Laokai \"amène avec elle tout un cortège de déceptions et de mécomptes.\" \"Although there are no tunnels, no aqueducts, nothing, in short, out of the common, despite the assertion of M. Borreil, alter-ego of the grand chef of the Travaux Publies, the line will not be handed over by the agreed date.\" This is the view of another correspondent, writing from Than-ba on the 19th April, who says: \"The actual condition of the work unfortunately does not justify the hope that the line can be handed over in time.\" If it is not so handed over, Compagnie du Yunnan will claim, this correspondent affirms, heavy damages from the Colony. I may add that an Italian “conducteur\" whom I met, and who had only lately come up to Yunnan from the Yenbay-Laokai section, told me that, in his opinion, two years would be necessary to complete that section, both on account of the mechanical difficulties and for reason of the lack of workmen. As far as Traibutt the difficulties are not grave, but above that point they are, he said, most serious.\n\nThe causes assigned (by a M. Debellonnière in the \"Courrier\" for the 6th April last) for the distaste shown by Chinese labourers to work on the railway line in Tonquin are:--\n\n1. The excessive cost of rice.\n\n2. The restrictions on opium.\n\n3. The fact that the coolies are not treated as freemen, but are \"gardés comme des prisonniers à la cangue par des soldats.\"\n\nThanks to Annamese informers, many of the Chinese coolies, who cannot work without opium, have been heavily fined or imprisoned by the French authorities for smuggling the drug. These Chinese (Kuangtung men) are not, the writer declares, deterred by toil or maladies, and would work willingly enough if the Government provided them, as in Madagascar, with rice and opium at reasonable rates and allowed them a measure of liberty.\n\n(If his conclusions are correct, as I believe them to be, they may be commended to the Government of the Transvaal.)\n\nIt should be mentioned, in connection with the Tonquin line, that the first locomotive arrived at Yenbay on the 25th April of this year, and that the section Viétri-Yenbay was formally opened by the Governor-General during the first week in May. Various writers in the Tonquin press declare that both this section and that to Laokai are so full of short curves that the working of the line will be at a great disadvantage. Not only can no great speed be attained, but the wear and tear on engines and rails will be excessive. It is affirmed that the object of the Travaux Publics, which has had to take over the track from the bankrupt contractors, has been to economize both in time and money. They have therefore avoided tunnelling, and in some instances have run their line dangerously close to the river.\n\nIf the Tonquin Railway reaches Laokai by the 1st May next, then the Construction Company are bound to complete it within two years more to Mengtse, and that is to say, it must reach Yunnan-fu within a further three years.\n\nWhether it will do so, opinion widely varies. Yunnan-fu by the 1st May, 1910.\n\nM. Guibert, Directeur des Travaux, and M. Prud'homme, Chef de Division--both of whom ought to be in a position to form a correct judgment--told me that the line could be completed to Yunnan-fu in three years, that is by the summer of 1907, always provided that there are no more disturbances, such as that of Lin-an last spring, to interrupt the work. Others, less highly placed, speak of five years; a few, of ten. It is agreed on all sides that the line must, and will, be completed eventually.\n\nMy personal acquaintance with the track begins, as I have said, at the Mi-la-ti divide, where is to be found the only tunnel, as far as I am aware, that is receiving its facing of dressed stone. Ordinary labourers, I may remark, receive 1 dollar for four days' work, except in the Nam-hti Valley, where wages rule higher--usually 35 cents a day. Masons are paid 40 to 50 cents a day. For the greater part of the \"tracé,\" lying as it does among the mountains, stone is abundant; and the masons of Yunnan are fairly skilful, in great contrast to the carpenters, whose work is crude and clumsy. Along M. Peragliè's evidence, no bridges had yet been made, though quantities of dressed stone were stacked in readiness. Several large culverts had been completed, in one of which I saw a beggar had taken up free quarters, stopping the superfluous entrance with a pile of brushwood.\n\nMy first intention was to follow the railway track from this point to A-mi Chou, but the distance (some 60 kilom.) is too long to be easily done in one stage; so I decided to take the road through the Mengtse Plain and over the pass of Shui-tang. For the first few miles the railway cutting could be plainly seen, descending gradually along the western slope of the range until it vanished behind a spur. Thence forward until A-mi was reached there were no signs of its presence other than the occasional distant report of a \"coup de mine.\" As a reference to the detailed plan of the line will show, the railway pursues a very devious course in its descent to the A-mi Plain. It has, in fact, to make its way in and out of a tangle of little valleys, particularly between kilom. 200 and kilom. 218.\n\nA-mi Chou once reached, the line follows down the \"Lin-an River\" for a short distance, then, diverging to the left, passes by means of a tunnel into the valley of the Pei-ta Ho. My own path led me, as I have said, back across the Mengtse Plain to the nearest \"sea\" (lakes in Yünnau are dignified into \"seas,\" even though, as in this case, they are mere dwindling swamps), by which I had descended to Mengtse, and crossed the long stone causeway over the thence into a side valley, whose northern limit is the village of Lei-kung Ssú, where my convoy offsaddled for tiffin. From this point to the head of the pass that leads down into the A-mi Plain the country seems very desolate, though the pass itself is picturesque. A-mi \"Patzu\" (the Plain of A-mi) as seen from the \"col,\" is particularly striking. In the far distance, though looking deceptively close—is A-mi town, while a pagoda away to the north-east marks roughly the point of entrance of the railway.\n\n+1 sea;\n\nThough I left Mengtse at 8 A.M. I did not reach A-mi till sunset. The headquarters of this section of the railway occupy a temple outside the east gate of the town. The \"chef de section,\" M. Garcia, and his wife, I had left at Mengtse, but by their courtesy I was assigned the guest-room in their residence, originally the main hall of the temple. Everywhere where possible along the line temples have been rented, and, without injury to their structure, converted into comfortable dwellings. No particular difficulty, as far as I could learn, has been experienced in securing these numerous temples, nor are excessively high rents demanded. A temple once obtained, outbuildings are run up in the compound, it being understood that these and all other innovations shall be removed when the permanent buildings--the station-masters' dwellings--are erected.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395399, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 736, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nCHINA TRADE.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL,\n\nNo. 1.\n\n732\n\n[December 5.]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\n(No. 358.)

He mentioned that coal paid no li-kin, but was lightly taxed at the pit mouth. A considerable quantity of native opium, he said, passed through Shiu-kuan, coming from Szechuan, Hunan, and Ch'u-chou in Chekiang. It paid at present only 2 taels per picul duty, but this was shortly to be raised.\n\nShiu-kuan is surrounded by a crenellated wall in an unusually good state of preservation. The principal business quarter is the Cantonese suburb, outside the wall facing the North River. The Yamêns are in the so-called native or Hakka quarter, within four minutes' walk of the West Gate. There are besides a Hunanese and a Kiangsi quarter. Opposite the West Gate is the suburb destroyed by the Taipings, now a heap of grass-covered ruins. Here the Wesleyan Mission are erecting their new house in foreign style, and propose, when funds permit, to build a hospital. A fair number of junks were anchored on both branches of the river, but the shipping and movement of the place did not, I must confess, come up to my expectation.\n\nThe population is estimated by the missionaries at over 100,000.\n\nOn the afternoon of our arrival, I called with Captain Vaughan on the Taotai, Ch'ang, Tuan-pen, who is Intendant of the Nam Shao Lien (Namheung, Shao-chou Lienchou) circuit.\n\nHaving previously sent a deputy on board to make inquiries regarding the rank of a British Consul—I was apparently the first official of the kind whom the Taotai had come in contact with during his seven years' tenure of office—chairs were sent to convey us to the Yamên, and we were received with the customary salutes and ceremonies. The Taotai was most cordial, and discoursed intelligently on current political topics.\n\nHe expressed surprise that the \"Robin\" had been able to reach Shiu-kuan, and his opinion that steamers could not with safety ply on this part of the river was doubtless confirmed by the subsequent unfortunate stranding of that vessel 3 miles below the city.\n\nI told him that, in my opinion, light draft stern-wheelers should be able to reach Shiu-kuan without difficulty during the five summer months, and he entirely agreed with me as to the benefits to be derived from steam communication with Canton. Asked as to the state of the country under his jurisdiction, the Taotai said that brigandage of the kind prevalent in the neighbouring province of Kuangsi was, happily, of rare occurrence, but that the members of the Triad Society (Sau Tien-hui), reinforced by refugees from Kuangsi, had for some time past caused considerable trouble in the districts around Shiu-kuan. He ascribed their activity—somewhat unjustly, I thought—to the machinations of Kang Yu Wei and his followers.\n\nFrom Mr. Dewstoe, the resident Wesleyan missionary, I subsequently learned that the Taotai had the reputation of being well-meaning, but weak; that he was anxious to retire, being quite unable to cope with the growing lawlessness in his jurisdiction; that the Triads had adherents among all classes of the people—even in the Yamêns—and that with the small military force at their disposal—about 200 men in all—the officials were powerless to check the constantly recurring outrages committed in the name of the Society.\n\nAs an instance of this, I was told that a few weeks before our arrival, a young scholar, whose father, in his capacity of village elder, had incurred the enmity of the Triads, was cut in pieces in broad daylight on the highway within 6 miles of the city. Two Buddhist priests, who were subsequently arrested, confessed to their share in the murder, and in the books seized in the monastery to which they belonged were the names of several prominent residents of Shiu-kuan and two or three of the head runners in the Magistrate's Yamên.\n\nThe following morning, the Taotai returned our call, and was saluted by the \"Robin\" with six guns, three on arrival and three on departure. This salute, which I am aware is in excess of that allowed by the King's Regulations, was given by Captain Vaughan at my written request: firstly, because we had been similarly saluted at the Taotai's Yamên; secondly, because the Magistrate at Yingtak having received three guns, I considered that the Taotai, his superior, and the principal territorial official in this part of the province, was entitled to some additional mark of respect, the visit of a British gun-boat and Consul being in itself a more or less memorable occurrence.\n\nThe Taotai mentioned that two Japanese merchants had recently visited him and announced their intention of starting business in the city. He had informed them that this was impossible, as Shiu-kuan was not yet a Treaty port. They were, I understand, interested in coal. There are coal mines in the neighbourhood of Shiu-kuan, situated within 5 miles of the city up both rivers, which have been worked for some years past by native methods; the present output is inconsiderable, and the coal, taken from the surface, of poor quality. It sells in Shiu-kuan for about 6 dollars per ton.\n\nThe Taotai, when I remarked on the anomaly that practically all the coal consumed by steamers in Canton and on the rivers was imported from Japan, while large deposits of this valuable fuel were known to exist in various parts of the Canton Province, said he fully appreciated the advantages to be derived from the exploitation of mines, but that in his particular jurisdiction the people were extremely adverse to the hills being disturbed, and that scientific mining had hitherto been barely possible. I subsequently heard that two parties of French prospectors had visited the mines during the past year.\n\n## \nFrom the Rev. Edgar Dewstoe of the Wesleyan Mission, who has been stationed at Shiu-kuan for the last seven years, I learnt that there are three missionary societies working in this part of the country: the Roman Catholics, with headquarters at Nam-heung, who devote themselves chiefly to work among the country people; the Berlin Mission with stations at Nam-heung, Chihsien, Yen-fa, and Shiu-kuan; the Wesleyans with branches at Lok-ch'eng, Lung-kuai, Mong-fu-kong, and Yingtak. Mr. Dewstoe said that, after some years of uphill work, he considered his Mission was now established on a solid basis; he was on the best of terms with the local authorities, due, he thought, to his adhering to the rule of never interfering in his converts' lawsuits; counted several influential men among his friends, and was able to preach every Sunday in the city chapel—a fine new building in semi-Chinese style—to an interested and respectful congregation. Some of the largest shops in Shiu-kuan are kept by Wesleyan converts, who have apparently no desire to conceal their faith. Most of the shops are plentifully adorned with text and religious pictures; in a large druggist's I saw posted on the door a notice in Chinese giving chapter and verse of the Bible reading to be held that evening in the chapel. The people are, on the whole, well-disposed towards foreigners; only in the Cantonese quarter is one liable to meet with any rudeness. In one of the halls of the Canton Guild House, I was shown a Chinese teacher seated at a pulpit expounding the Sacred Edict to whomsoever cared to listen; at the moment of our visit, a handful of coolies, who, from their attitudes, apparently considered this a convenient place to take their noon-day siesta. I was told that the cost of these daily lectures is defrayed by the Canton Guild, with the object of counteracting the growing influence of the Christian chapels. During our two days' stay at Shiu-kuan, the \"Robin\" was a source of unfailing interest to crowds of people, both men and women, who, dressed in their best clothes, came off in boatloads to gaze at the \"fire-ship.\" They conducted themselves in a very orderly manner, and made no attempt to force their way on board. I was sorry that the small size of the ship prevented our throwing her open to visitors. However, in the evening, we gave a display of rockets and coloured lights which, to judge from the loud murmurs of admiration that rose from an invisible throng outside and on the city wall, was much appreciated.\n\nThe shops in the main street leading from the south to the north gate through the Kiangsi and Hunanese quarters seemed well supplied with foreign goods. I purchased, among other things, soap, soda water, beer, biscuits, bovril, and cigarettes of British make. There are some fine pottery shops, where I was shown cases full of Kiangsi ware packed ready for export to Canton. In the Canton quarter, the streets are narrow and dirtier, the shops are exactly the same as those met with in the delta; the import business is, as usual, in the hands of the Cantonese.\n\nAn interesting local industry is the preparation of ground-nut oil, carried on in three large factories in the suburb adjoining the Wesleyan Mission. The nuts are first sun-dried on concrete floors, then pressed in troughs between round stones by means of wedges. The oil is now chiefly used for cooking purposes, kerosene having completely superseded it as an illuminant.\n\nThe climate of Shiu-kuan is hot in summer, and, owing to the sudden change of temperature caused by alternating north and south winds, is unhealthy for Europeans. The winter is cold, frost and snow being of frequent occurrence. Plague is unknown, but cholera and small-pox common. The surrounding country, besides being extremely picturesque, abounds in wild animals of all kinds, among which I may mention deer, wild boar, porcupines, monkeys, leopards, and tigers. The last-named are reported to be quite numerous: they frequently descend on the outlying villages and carry off dogs, buffalo, and sometimes children. An amusing incident occurred on the day of our arrival: as the \"Robin\" steamed past the Wesleyan Mission on the river bank, the blast of the siren was mistaken by an infants' school close by for the roar of a tiger; the terrified teacher and children bolted and barred their doors and windows, and waited panic-stricken for the approach of their enemy. It is unfortunate that this country, rich in game, is practically inaccessible to Hong Kong sportsmen: the shooting season is, of course, in winter, when the river is only open... \n\nPage 9\n954", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 397927, "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": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 417, "title": "CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "# Inclosure 11 in No. 1.\n\n## Government of India to Government of Burmah.\n\nMay 5, 1904.\n\nI AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 25th March, 1904, in which you communicate the views of the Government of Burmah regarding Mr. Litton's proposal to permit the transit of Yunnan opium through Burmah in bond. Sir Hugh Barnes is of opinion that, if proper precautions be taken, the stimulus to trade by the Bhamo-Tengyueh route which will result from the adoption of the suggestion will considerably outweigh any objections which can be urged against the proposal.\n\n2. The Government of India are not satisfied that the importance of the various objections to this scheme has been fully appreciated. Before forwarding copies of the correspondence to the Secretary of State, and before arriving at any definite decision on the question at issue, they desire to explain, in some detail, the reasons which appear to them to militate against the adoption of Mr. Litton's suggestion.\n\n3. In the first place, it may be observed that no direct and calculable advantages will accrue to India as a result of this concession. India will only benefit in the event of trade by the Bhamo-Tengyueh route expanding in consequence of the permission to export opium through Burmah; and this expansion, and its extent, are entirely problematical. If, as appears probable, the natural trade outlet of Yunnan is the Red River Valley, it is doubtful whether the adoption of Mr. Litton's suggestion would give a permanent stimulus to the Bhamo-Tengyueh trade; and it is questionable whether the maximum ultimate expansion of that trade would be sufficient to compensate for the disadvantages attendant on the acceptance of the scheme.\n\n4. The Government of India are not disposed to accept the arguments which have been adduced in favour of the contention that the export of opium from Yunnan via Burmah will not affect the Chinese demand for the Indian drug. It is urged that all opium produced in Yunnan, and destined for the markets of Eastern China, already finds its way there; and it is stated that the total production cannot be increased, as all land which is suitable for opium cultivation is at present under the poppy. If, however, Yunnan opium can, in the future, be laid down at Canton or Shanghae at a considerably lower price than at present, and by a safer, cheaper, and more expeditious route, a result which is the object of Mr. Litton's scheme to effect, it is clear that the Chinese demand would receive a substantial stimulus, and this, it is thought, must in the end bring about an increase in the supply.\n\n5. Besides this primary objection, there are other difficulties in the way of adopting the proposal. It is necessary for the success of the scheme that the Chinese Government should agree to admit opium imported from Yunnan via Burmah at a more favourable rate than Indian opium; and it appears certain that the Chinese authorities will raise objection to the course. The existing prohibition against the import of opium into Burmah rests upon a Treaty basis; and it would be necessary for His Majesty's Government to approach the Chinese authorities with the object of removing this prohibition, and of obtaining more favourable terms for Yunnan opium than are accorded to opium produced in India. Not only would this place the Government of India in a false position, but such action would also lend itself to misconstruction by those who are opposed to the trade in opium altogether.\n\n6. The Government of India are also disposed to think that the danger of smuggling across the frontier, and while the drug is in transit through Burmah, has not been fully realized. In this connection, I am to point out that an examination of the contents of the packages in which the opium is imported from Tengyueh would in any case be necessary both at Bhamo and at Rangoon. If the Government of Burmah are still of opinion that Mr. Litton's suggestion should be accepted, the draft rules framed by the Collector of Customs should be revised so as to provide for this.\n\n7. I am to request that, with the permission of his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, the proposal may be again considered by the Government of Burmah in the light of these remarks, and that a reply to this letter may be forwarded at an early date. The Government of India will then be in a position to pronounce definitely as to the advisability of accepting Mr. Litton's suggestion.\n\n# Inclosure 12 in No. 1.\n\n## Government of Burmah to Government of India.\n\nJuly 6, 1904.\n\nI AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 5th May, regarding the proposal to permit the transit of opium through Burmah in bond.\n\n2. I am, in the first place, to forward a copy of a note written by Mr. Litton, His Majesty's Consul at Tengyueh, upon the draft Rules prepared by the Chief Collector of Customs, which were forwarded with my letter dated the 25th March last. Mr. Litton, it will be seen, agrees with the Lieutenant-Governor that it is unnecessary and impracticable to provide the opium with a military police escort between Tengyueh and Bhamo. Otherwise, he approves generally of the Rules, but makes the following suggestions:\n\n| Suggestion | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (i) | That the weight of the opium should be shown on the box and on the forms in catties and taels instead of in pounds and ounces. It appears to the Lieutenant-Governor that it will be useful if both the Chinese weights and the English equivalents are painted on each box. |\n| (ii) | That in Rule 9, the bond shall be for treble instead of double the value of the opium, and that the security shall be some firm known in Burmah. There is no objection to this proposal. |\n\nIt is also necessary, as suggested in the sixth paragraph of your letter under reply, that a rule should be added giving the Customs officers at Bhamo and Rangoon power to open and examine any box if this is considered necessary. If the weights are correct and the seals intact, it does not appear to the Lieutenant-Governor to be necessary that every package should be examined on its way through Burmah. Only Yunnan opium can be packed in the box at Tengyueh, for there is no other opium available. Therefore, there can be no substitution of Indian opium on the other side of the frontier. On this side of the border, from Bhamo until the opium leaves Rangoon, the boxes will be in the custody of the Customs Department, and it is difficult to see how they can be tampered with inside British limits. Moreover, if a case has once been opened by the Customs Department, obviously it will be easier to open it again for illegitimate purposes. A revised copy of the Rules is inclosed embodying the changes suggested.\n\n3. I am now to reply to the various objections to the scheme which are stated in your letter under reply. As to the first of these, I am to say that it is not admitted by the British Consular officers in Yunnan that the natural trade outlet of West Yunnan is the Red River Valley. In a recent letter addressed to the Government of India in the Public Works Department on the subject of the construction of a railway from Bhamo to Tengyueh, it has been pointed out that the commercial capital of Yunnan is not Yunnan-fu, but Hsia Kuan on the Tali Lake. This point is the meeting place of the great trade routes to Thibet, Szechuan, the Yang-tsze, Yunnan-fu, and Burmah. It is situated approximately half-way between Bhamo and Yunnan-fu, and at present, the bulk of its foreign trade is via Burmah. The distance to the Irrawaddy is less than the distance to the navigable part of the Red River, and the Irrawaddy is the easier and the better-equipped waterway of the two. Mr. Litton holds that the larger figures of the French trade through Mengtse afford no proof to the contrary. He considers that the wealth and population of the districts that ought to be supplied from Tengyueh are superior to those which would naturally draw their supplies from Mengtse, and that the greater volume at present of the French trade is owing to the facts:\n\n| Reason | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (i) | That the French have had a long start of us, the Imperial Customs Office having been opened at Mengtse many years before the corresponding office at Tengyueh. Consequently, trade with French territory was subject to a regular Tariff, while trade with Burmah was still harassed by li-kin and the exactions of the Mandarins. The serious effect of these exactions can be measured by the rapidity with which the Bhamo trade with Tengyueh has increased since the Customs Office at the latter place was opened. |\n| (ii) | That by the French route, there are no restrictions on the export of opium, the one important export product that Yunnan has to offer. Some 3,000 to 6,000 mule-loads of opium are said to go to Tonquin every year. |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403140, "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": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 49, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "# 13 NOV 05\n\nInterest was guaranteed by **H.M.G.** was not taken over.

Signed at Wuchang, August 28, 1900.\n\n**THIS Agreement** is made between his Excellency Chang, Viceroy of the Hukuang provinces of China, acting under his Viceregal powers for himself and his successors of the one part, and the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation, acting for the Government of Great Britain, of the other part.\n\nWhereas, hostilities having broken out in the north of China, the Viceroy has undertaken to afford protection to foreigners and foreign property within his jurisdiction, and to maintain order therein; and whereas, in order to assist towards the above object funds are now urgently required for the payment of the troops under the Viceroy's control; and whereas, the Viceroy has officially applied to the Government of Her Britannic Majesty for financial assistance for the payment of the said troops, with a view to the preservation of order in the Yang-tsze region, it is now agreed as follows:\n\n1. The Bank hereby agrees to lend to the Viceroy, on the unconditional guarantee by the British Government of the principal and interest of the loan, the sum of £75,000.\n\n2. The term of the loan shall be ten years, calculated from the 25th day of August, 1900, and repayment of principal shall be made by ten equal annual instalments of £7,500 each, commencing at the end of the first year.\n\n3. Interest on the loan shall be paid at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, calculated half-yearly on the amount of the principal from time to time outstanding.\n\n4. All payments of interest and repayments of principal shall be made in accordance with the amounts and dates of the Schedule attached to this Agreement, to the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation in Hankow, in Hankow sycee, at a sterling exchange which will be fixed by the Bank for each payment on a current basis.\n\n5. This loan shall be secured by a second mortgage on the Ichang Salt Li-kin, already charged with the service of the Chinese Imperial Government 4% Sterling Loan of 1898, and shall rank, as regards security for principal and interest, immediately after that loan. In case of need it shall be open to the Viceroy to supplement the revenue of the Ichang Salt Li-kin by other revenues of his provinces for the service of the present loan; but in case of default with regard to a payment of interest or repayment of principal of the present loan, the Viceroy may be called upon by Her Britannic Majesty's Government to appropriate and place under the administration of the Imperial Maritime Customs further approved revenues as its security.\n\n6. This loan shall be further secured by deposit with Her Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow of sterling li-kin yearly bonds, equal in value altogether to the total amount of the loan, principal, and interest, sealed by the Viceroy of the Hukuang provinces and by the Treasurer of Hupei, and countersigned by the foreign Commissioner of Customs at Hankow. In the event of the money to meet a payment of interest or instalment of principal not being handed to the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation at its branch in Hankow on due date, these li-kin bonds shall become available for the payment of li-kin in the Province of Hupei, and the provincial authorities shall be instructed accordingly.\n\n7. The proceeds of this loan shall be paid within two months by the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation at Hankow, to the order and at the direction of Her Majesty's Consul-General at that port, who may require from the provincial authorities concerned such evidence as he may deem necessary of the due employment of the funds for the object stated.\n\n8. This Agreement is executed in triplicate in English and Chinese, one copy to be retained by the Viceroy, one by Her Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow, and one by the Bank. In the event of any doubt arising as to the interpretation of the contract, the English text shall rule.\n\n[1630] \n48", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403353, "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": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 262, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "## CONFIDENTIAL\n## No. 1\n## 257\n\nThis Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n\n2\n\nand dues agreeable to the Tariff, such merchandize may be conveyed by Chinese merchants to any province or city in the interior of China on paying a further amount as transit dues (li-kin) which was commuted, at the option of the importer, to 2 per cent. ad valorem. But as long as the goods remain in the city, town, or port opened as a Treaty port, they are not liable to any further impost beyond the import duty.\n\nBy section 3, sub-section 1, of the Chefoo Convention of 1876, Sir Thomas Wade undertook to move his Government to allow the ground rented by foreigners (the so-called Concessions) at the different ports to be regarded as the area of exemption from li-kin. But by the Additional Article of the 18th July, 1885, this question was expressly reserved for further consideration, and the Chefoo Agreement was ratified without this sub-section. The Chinese authorities have, however, persistently regarded it as forming a part of the existing Treaty arrangements, contrary to good faith, and His Majesty's Government are entitled to maintain the construction of the Treaties above set forth, and I am instructed to insist upon it.\n\nThe Governor of Changsha has sought, nevertheless, to restrict the residence of foreigners to a particular portion of land outside the city of Changsha, and to this arrangement His Majesty's Government have not given their consent. Experience at recently opened ports has shown that the creation of settlements for the exclusive occupation of foreigners is, in most cases, of no advantage to either foreigners or Chinese, and such settlements as, for instance, at Yochou and Hangchou have remained vacant ever since they were laid out. Under such circumstances, it is more economical for China, and more convenient for the few foreign merchants who desire to trade at these new ports, that the merchants should be at liberty to take up their residence anywhere within the port which has been opened to trade either within or without the walls.\n\nIn the note to which I am replying, it is alleged that Chinese officials and people are by no means in favour of foreign merchants acquiring property beyond the area of the port opened to foreign trade, because they naturally resent their own helplessness arising out of China's want of jurisdiction over foreigners. But it is not a question of acquiring property, or even of hiring houses beyond the area of the port opened to foreign trade, because the walled city is included in the expression \"cities and towns.\" Your Highness observes that when, as is contemplated by Article XII of the British Commercial Treaty, jurisdiction over foreigners shall have been restored to China, there will be no obstacle in the way of foreigners living promiscuously among the Chinese. But the argument loses any weight which might be attached to it when it is considered that at Foochow, Ningpo, Amoy, Swatow, not to speak of other ports, which have been open to trade for sixty years or more, foreigners have always lived promiscuously among the Chinese without any inconvenience being felt.\n\nIt is not for any such reason as alleged that the Chinese Government and provincial authorities have always opposed the residence of foreign merchants within the walled city of an open port, but because of narrow-minded prejudices such as existed in former times at Canton, as your Highness will remember, and because they desire to levy li-kin taxes, to which they are not entitled, on foreign goods consumed within that area.\n\nYour Highness' note ends by requesting me to instruct His Majesty's Acting Consul to discuss the question amicably with the Governor to whom you were telegraphing. As I had not the honour to receive communication of your telegram to the Governor, I am ignorant of the instructions conveyed in it, but judging by the tone adopted by his Excellency in his discussions with His Majesty's Acting Consul, I much fear that those instructions were not in accordance either with amity or the Treaty obligations of China.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n**(Signed)** \n**ERNEST SATOW**\n\n## CHINA TRADE\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n## No. 1\n## 257\n[August 28.]\n\n### SECTION 4.\n\nSir E.

His Excellency asked me to translate the gist of the paper, which I did, and promised me a reply within the week. The only matters which his Excellency touched on were the land deeds, which he said could be arranged according to the system in vogue at Hankow, and the question of compensation to Mr. Bennertz. The Governor said that if Mr. Bennertz were called upon to remove from the city, he would be willing to pay him a small sum to meet his expenses. I replied that I would discuss the claim of Mr. Bennertz after his Excellency had fully considered my Memorandum.\n\nOn the 17th instant I was invited to a meeting held at the Foreign Bureau, at which were present the Treasurer, Pang, the Acting Judge and head of the Foreign Bureau, Chang, the Customs Taotai, Chu, and some other officials. At this meeting the Memorandum was discussed in full, and the officials stated that conditions Nos. 1 and 3 could not apply within the city walls, and showed me a despatch from the Wai-wu Pu which said that the phrase \"Treaty port\" could not be held to include the native walled city (ch'eng chih). Against this I quoted the English text of the Treaties of Nanking and Tien-tsin. No objection was raised to No. 2, while Nos. 4 and 5 were agreed to without demur. The question of compensation to Mr. Bennertz evoked a considerable amount of discussion, but finally it was agreed that a moderate compensation would be paid to him for loss and inconvenience caused by the Proclamations of last year. A full reply to the Memorandum was promised for the 20th instant.\n\nOn the evening of the 19th instant I received a despatch from the Taotai forwarding the deeds for Messrs.

They paid a small tax in kind, of the value of about 12 annas per house, and if the Teng Keng Chief came to visit them they made a contribution to his travelling expenses. They stated that there were several Lisu hamlets scattered about the hill-sides who were in the same position towards the Teng Keng Chief. These hamlets are hardly to be considered permanent, as after taking a crop or two off the hill-side the Lisu will often remove their bamboo wattle huts to some other fold in the mountains. The Lashi Headman of the Pien Ma, an old man, who began by stating his desire to make submission to the British, the Regent of Teng Keng, and several other natives made statements on the subject of the payment of tribute, which, though they were not in precise agreement with each other, were enough to prove that no one really knows what amount is paid per annum, and also that it differs considerably from year to year. The financial arrangements of Teng Keng are, in short, not such as would meet the approval of the Revenue Secretary to the Government of India. The Regent's statement to me was the vaguest of all, and it is clear that he knows very little of the country which is supposed to belong to him.\n\nIt appears that Pien Ma, U Tung, Kang Fang, Ku Lan, P'a Ti, and some other hamlets, all of which are Lashi or Lisu villages near the headwaters of the Ngaw Chang, and comprise in all a little over 200 families, were supposed to have been assigned by the Chinese Government to Teng Keng after the famous campaign in Chia Ching's reign (see above). These villages had previously been, and continued for some time after to be, subject to Lung Pang, on the right bank, further down the Ngaw Chang; but some years after the Chinese campaign a feud broke out between the Pien Ma group of villages and Chi Kaw, near Lung Pang, on account of a cattle theft. Chi Kaw raided and burnt Pien Ma, and Pien Ma replied by engaging the assistance of the Chinese from Teng Keng. They then burnt and looted Chi Kaw, and in compensation for Teng Keng's help, and in satisfaction for the previous murder of two members of the Teng Keng Headman's family, they agreed to pay him tribute. Present this tribute is paid mostly in kind. The Pien Ma Headman stated that, including scattered households of Lisu immigrants from the Salween, there are now nearly 350 families in this tribute-paying tract, of whom one-half are Lashi and one-half Lisu, but I believe this number to be beyond the mark.\n\nThe forty households of Pien Ma pay to the annual value of about 10 taels. Besides this a toll on coffin wood brought up from the Ngaw Chang by the Chinese firm mentioned above is levied at Kang Fang, near the left bank of the Upper Ngaw Chang, by Teng Keng. The produce of this toll is never more, and often less, than 100 taels a-year. On the whole, I think we may say that the annual sum which Teng Keng derives from the Upper Ngaw Chang is probably 300 rupees a-year at the outside.\n\nIt is to be noted that, apart from the collection of this uncertain sum, there is no regular administration of Pien Ma or the adjacent villages by Teng Keng. He has no power or machinery to undertake anything of the kind. The country is very poor, and much disturbed by feuds, which, I expect, if the truth were known, often prevent Teng Keng from \"touching\" his revenue. The Lung Pang \"Duwa\" has a vendetta with the Chinese, and shortly before our arrival it appears that he distinctly intimated to Teng Keng that neither Teng Keng nor any other Chinese would be allowed to cross the Ngaw Chang, and it was probably this threat which induced the Taotai to withdraw the claims of Ming Kwang to the Lang Pang group.\n\nThen Pien Ma has a vendetta with Shang Lou, a village of fifty families of Lashi, situated to the west of Pien Ma. It is reported that disorders have recently taken place at U Tung, and it is clear that there is practically no such thing as government in the country.\n\nOn the other hand, it must be admitted that Teng Keng has more substantial claims to the consideration of the British Government than Ming Kwang; he has a scintilla juris, and the levy of uncertain sums at irregular intervals is as far as the Chinese have ever gone anywhere in Yunnan towards the administration of frontier tribes.\n\nBefore reaching Pien Ma the Taotai had delivered to me further documentary evidence regarding his claims in the shape of a Memorial to the Throne from the Viceroy of Yünnan in the eighteenth century, together with an Instruction issued by the Tengyueh officials, undated, but probably of the same date as the Memorial.\n\n## 13\n\nPage 439\n\nThese documents profess to assign a number of \"barbarian\" villages, of which the names are given, among the respective jurisdictions of Tengyueh, Pao Shan, Yün Lung, and Li Chiang, all in West Yünnan. Most of these villages are in the Salween Valley, and therefore not now in question; but Pien Ma, U Tung, Tzu Chu, Hparè, &c., are mentioned in the list as being subject to Tengyueh and Pao Shan. As I have already pointed out, there is no evidence that the arrangements set forth in these documents ever represented the real state of affairs. I fail to see that the Government of India is compelled to pay any more attention to these papers than the President of the United States would pay to the Papal Bulls of the sixteenth century, which assigned the whole of the New World to Spain and Portugal. If you accept the premises that the New World belonged to the Pope to assign, the Bulls are excellent titles; so if we follow the Taotai, and accept as true beyond contradiction any statement set down in a document sealed by the Chinese Government, then the Memorial would be a good title to the villages in question. But as in fact the premises are absurd, the conclusion cannot be supported.\n\nOn the 19th April we broke up our camp at Pien Ma, and, in view of the lateness of the season and the continued bad weather, divided our forces; while the Taotai and myself proceeded east to the Salween, Mr. Leveson and Surveyor Natha Singh proceeded down to the Ngaw Chang. A Chinese deputy was detailed to go with them, but he thought that discretion was the better part of valour, and returned to Ming Kwang.\n\nMr. Leveson gives the following particulars, which fully confirm our previous information respecting the condition of the Kachins on the Ngaw Chang, and his visit to them:---\n\n\"I spent three days on the Upper Ngaw Chang, and most of the Headmen came to see me, including Gaw Yawm (in Chinese, Shang Lon), and Shi Jang (in Chinese, Hsieh Chiang), Chi Kaw, and others. They were all friendly and accepted presents. The surveyors fixed all the villages, and went down the other side (right bank) of the Ngaw Chang as far as Pa Le, below Lung Pang. I then returned to Pien Ma.\n\n\"Teng Keng left a nasty reputation behind him at Pien Ma by beating a Lashi Headman for not providing supplies for the Chinese.\n\n\"The statement of the Headman from the Lower Kau Shang is to the same effect as that of Hparè----namely, that they are in no way subordinate to any Chinese, and have never paid tribute.\n\n\"The Shi Jang (Hsieh Chiang) Headman makes the same statement, but adds that he occasionally exchanges presents of 'huang lien' (a medicine) for salt with the Ming Kwang Fu Yi.\n\n\"The trans-Ngaw Chang, or Lung Pang, group of villages comprises some 120 families at Lang Pang, Pa Le, Kan Kawn (Kan K'un), Hpien Law (Kwan Chai), &c. Their Headmen have no dealings whatever with the Chinese Chiefs, and, in fact, threatened this year to do for them if they crossed the Ngaw Chang.\n\n(This is the group of villages to which the Taotai has withdrawn his claims.)\n\n\"The Gaw Yawm (Chinese, Shang Lon) group on the Shang Tawn River, which joins the Ngaw Chang between the Pien Ma and Kan Sheng Rivers, has some forty or fifty households of Lashi.\n\n\"They state that they are in subordinate alliance with Ta Tang; every third year he gives them a buffalo, and they give him 50 viss of 'huang lien' (165 lb.). He exercises no jurisdiction beyond this, but he did actually visit Gaw Yawm while we were at Pien Ma.\n\n\"The Upper Ngaw Chang, or Pien Ma, group includes five villages of over 25 households and some nine hamlets, in all probably 240 households, of which some 180 are Lisu, mostly immigrants from the Salween, and the rest Lashi.\n\n\"The Lashi are supposed to pay about one-tenth of a tael per house per year to Teng Keng. The total tribute thus collected is not over 25 taels a-year, and is paid in kind, usually very miscellaneous kind. These villages describe themselves as in subordinate alliance with Teng Keng.\n\n\"The hamlet of Kang Fang (house of toll) is primarily the head-quarters of the Chinese coffin-wood firm. It used to be further down the Ngaw Chang, near the junction of the Pien Ma affluent. It was moved further up when wood became scarce in that locality. Tang Tung, or U Tung, is the first stage of the wood coolies en route to Ming Kwang; hence the two Chinese houses there.\n\nPage 54\n\nKang Fang is, secondarily, Teng Keng's toll and tribute collecting centre. Lisu, who extract coffin-wood on their own account apart from the Chinese firm, pay one set of boards in twenty-five.\" \n\n`[2167 -1]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403557, "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": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 466, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "## REGULATIONS in force with regard to the joint management by the four provinces of Hupei, Hunan, Kiangsi, and Anhui of the taxes on opium and destination li-kin on boiled opium.\n\nEVERY package of opium weighing 1 picul gross weight will be allowed to deduct 9 catties for the outer covering and 4 catties for inside wrappings.

Every ounce net weight of opium shall pay a reorganization tax and a prevention of smuggling tax in full money of 9 cash each, plus 20 per cent. in full money, i.e., 1.8 cash, making a total of 10.8 cash.\n\n4. For destination li-kin, from every package of 1 picul of opium 13 catties will be deducted for the outer covering and inner wrappings as in the case of the principal tax, leaving 87 catties of opium net weight; a further reduction of 2 per cent. on the net weight will be allowed for dryness.

We have also, after consultation, added twelve new Regulations to those already in force, and have temporarily established the central office at Wuchang, and submitted these proposals in a Memorial to the Emperor.\n\nThe Regulations for the collection of the taxes at the offices at Ichang, Hung Chiang, and Wuchow shall continue to be the old ones. From the date of the enforcement of the new scheme, Ichang and Hung-chiang will collect for the Hukuang Provinces, and Wuchow will collect for the two Kuang Provinces.\n\nEach province will provisionally use its own documents and stamps on opium retailed in its borders in order to avoid confusion. On no account may opium destined for retail sale at present in stock in the Hu and Kuang Provinces be carried beyond their borders and confused with opium in other provinces.\n\nWhen application is made to convey opium beyond the limits of the eight provinces it will pay all taxes and li-kin. Opium carried in a steamer must pay all opium li-kin before dispatch. The central office will then issue a certificate and place a stamp on the opium. No further taxation will be imposed, whichever of the eight provinces may be declared as its destination.\n\nInspection and prevention of smuggling stations will be established at various important centres in Kiangsi, Anhui, Kiangsu, and Fukien. On the production at these stations of an export certificate issued by any office, stating that all taxes and li-kin have been paid, the opium will be passed free and certificate indorsed and stamped. If the certificate and the opium do not correspond, or the stamp (on the opium) bears traces of substitution, the facts shall be telegraphically reported to the central office for investigation and decision. If the opium does not bear the stamp of the central office it shall be confiscated according to Regulation.\n\nWhen on arriving at a customs barrier it is reported that opium has only paid the customs duty, the destination likin shall be made good, and paid to the inspection station in accordance with the Regulations in force for the four provinces, and the opium stamped with the stamp of the central office; it will then be allowed to be taken to any of the eight provinces and sold by retail.\n\nThe Reports of the various offices in the past show that, leaving Kiangsi and Anhui out of account, the amount of opium destined for Kiangsu and Fukien is trifling. Traders have not in the past established houses for the sale of opium beyond the eight provinces, and under present circumstances they cannot with justice carry it there for retailing purposes.\n\nStill it is much to be feared that when the scheme for the simultaneous collection of all taxes comes into operation, they will declare that the opium is destined for places not in the eight provinces, in the hope of escaping with the lesser tax on opium in transit to the detriment of the revenue.

My Lord,\n\nTengyueh, December 19. 1905.\n\nIN continuation of my despatches No. 15 of the 9th September and No. 16 of the 1st October last, I have the honour to submit a copy of a further Report (No. 23 of to-day's date) which I have addressed to Sir Ernest Satow, on the subject of the recent lama disturbances in North-west Yünnan.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nG. LITTON.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n(No. 23.) Sir,\n\nActing Consul Litton to Sir E. Satow.\n\nTengyueh, December 19, 1905.\n\nREFERRING to my Reports No. 18 of the 9th September and No. 19 of the 1st October last, I understand that the Consul-General has kept you informed of the progress of events in connection with the suppression of the lama disturbances in North-west Yünnan.\n\nIn the course of my recent journey up the Salween I passed over to the Mekong, which I reached at a point only three stages south of Wei Hsi. I have also received several letters from the French missionaries. I may therefore submit a summary of the information which I have gathered, together with some observations thereon.\n\nThe rebellion collapsed in North-west Yünnan chiefly because it had been so vigorously suppressed in the Batang district of Szechuan. This cut the ground from under the feet of the Yunnan lamas, and left no course open to them except retreat into Thibet. The French Bishop of Tachienlu journeyed in October from Batang to the Yang-tsze frontier near Atentse. He writes that in many districts the lamas, and indeed the whole male Thibetan population, have been practically exterminated. It is further credibly reported that the villagers, as soon as they found that things were going badly for their lama oppressors, turned against them, and in several cases arrested and handed over to the Chinese the rebel leaders.\n\nChang T-tai, the provincial Commander-in-chief, advanced from Wei Hsi to Atentse in October without any fighting, but his troops impartially pillaged the villages of friends and foes alike, while the General himself made no difficulty about granting a free pardon to any one who could pay for it. The only serious military operation was the capture of the important lamasery of Tung-chu-lin (situated between Peng-tzu-la and Atentse, on the Mekong-Yang-tsze divide) by a body of Kwangsi braves under Colonel Elsieh, the newly-appointed Colonel at Wei Hsi. This is a very large and rich lamasery, and its capture seems to have crushed any further resistance on the part of the lamas. The Kwangsi men, though wholly without discipline, are undoubtedly ferocious when there is a chance of plunder, and horrible stories are circulated of how they ripped open their wounded enemies, devoured their hearts and livers, and so forth.\n\nIt is believed that the Yünnan Government has now been brought to see the necessity of inflicting severe punishment on all the lamas and Headmen guilty of murder and outrage. Prefect Li, the former Li Chiang Prefect, now temporarily degraded, has been appointed on a special mission to restore order and negotiate with the French fathers.\n\nThe surviving French priests have now returned to their posts. The country has been pillaged by both lamas and Chinese, otherwise quiet seems to have been restored.\n\nThanks to the prudence of its Sub-Prefect, who absolutely refused to allow Chinese ...\n\n[1838 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 406848, "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": 144, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nC.O.\n\n5402\n\nCHINA TRADE.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[3003]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n16 FEB 06\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n141\n\nSir E. Satow to the Marquess of Lansdowne.—(Received January 25, 1906.)\n\n(No. 406. Confidential.) My Lord,\n\nPeking, November 27, 1905.\n\nWITH reference to your Lordship's despatch No. 218 of the 29th September, I have already had the honour to communicate, in my despatch No. 378 of the 13th instant, such information on the subject of the German-Chinese Commercial Treaty as I then possessed.\n\nIn private conversation with Na-t'ung and Wu Ting-fang since the date of this despatch the matter has been touched on without eliciting any additional information of importance.\n\nMy German colleague informs me that the Article respecting li-kin, of which a translation was given in my despatch No. 378, underwent some trifling verbal alteration, but that the principle of referring the question to agreement among the Powers had been adhered to. The German negotiator had also obtained the concession of permission for steamers to tow cargo-boats on the Yang-tsze River. Generally speaking, the result of discussion with the Chinese Commissioners was that the latter desired to obtain all the concessions made in the previous new Commercial Treaties, and to give to Germany only the minimum of what they contained. He did not at all regret the suspension of negotiations, which, if he had been listened to, would never have been initiated.\n\nRumours in the Chinese press of negotiations between China and Russia for the revision of the Treaty of 1881 and for the conclusion of a new Commercial Treaty led me to make inquiries, but I am assured from more than one quarter that no such proposals have yet been broached.\n\nI have, &c.

We have no reliable evidence that Mount Loi-mu has ever been known as Kung-ming Shan, but only the assertion of General Liu, who never visited it. Sir George Scott, who did visit it, and who could interrogate the natives, declares that such a name as Kung-ming Shan is not applied to it. Even if it were, Mount Loi-mu cannot be the \"very lofty mountain range\" of the Convention, for this last runs, according to the Convention, from longitude 99° 40′ to longitude 99° 30′, whereas Mount Loi-mu is a solitary peak in longitude 99° 0′.\n\n11. From point (c) the Convention boundary \"descends the western slope of the hills to the Namka River.\" If point (c) were Mount Loi-mu the only possible slope by which to reach the Namkha would be the eastern. It is perfectly clear that the Convention boundary approaches the Namkha from the east and not from the west.\n\n12. The point where the boundary between Munglem and Kiang Tong diverges from the Namka River\" is admitted by both parties to be \"Cairn 1 on the south, where the Namyung stream debouches into the Namkha River\"-to quote from Shih's Memorandum. To find point (d), therefore, all we have to do is to measure 10 minutes of latitude (or 113 geographical miles) in a straight line to meet the Namkha on the north. This falls in the near neighbourhood of the Su-hsing (Hsuphse) stockade. It cannot possibly fall, where Shih's map makes it fall, at Nungkiu (Nawnghkio), for that is 45 minutes (or some 52 miles) north of Cairn 1.\n\n13. It will thus be seen that all the arguments from the (a) latitudes and longitudes, (b) watersheds and rivers, mentioned in the Treaty support Scott's Line,\" and do not agree with Shih Taotai's line, still less with that of Lin and Ch'en-tajen.\n\nThere remains the argument employed in Shih Taotai's Memorandum, namely, \"according to the Treaty Chenpien is left to China, as is also Menglem, and this implies that all territory controlled by Chenpien or Menglem is left to China.'\n\nNow by Article V of the Convention of March 1, 1894, Great Britain agreed for certain considerations to renounce in favour of China all the suzerain rights in and over the State of Menglem, formerly possessed by the Kings of Ava concurrently with the Emperors of China. China, by officially accepting this renunciation, formally admitted that Great Britain had possessed such suzerain rights up to that date, March 1, 1894. The asserted surrender to China by its Sawbwa, Li Tungming, of Hsi-ming (Mongkha) in 1891, the \"recovery by Imperial troops\" of Menghsaw in the same year, and the Memorial and Rescript that ensued--all of which are brought forward as arguments in Shih Taotai's Memorandum-cannot possibly be admitted to prove China's claim, since they took place previous to the above date. Menglem could not extend its territory, whether at the expense of Hsi-ming and Menghsaw or otherwise, in 1891 without the consent of its co-Suzerain Great Britain, This consent was never given; on the contrary, we have consistently protested against Chinese troops being sent to, or stationed in, Isi-ming and Menghsaw.\n\n14. As regards Chenpien, this Sub-Prefecture was not created till 1887, after the British succession to the suzerain rights of the Kings of Ava had been recognized by China, China, therefore, could not include in Chenpien, which was to be directly administered by Chinese officials, any territory over which Burmah in 1886 had possessed suzerain or co-suzerain rights. Accordingly the expression \"Chenpien \"as used in the Convention of 1894 does not, and cannot, comprise any territory, such as Hsi-ming, Menghsaw, Menglem, or Kiang Tung, that came under either of these categories. It is not, however, necessary now to argue this point, for Shih Taotai's map distinguishes clearly between the district directly administered by the Sub-Prefect of Chenpien and the territory subject to the Hsi-ming Sawbwa.\" Chenpien proper, in short, is left by \"Scott's Line\" entirely to China.\n\nPage 44\n\n15. A similar argument applies to the districts marked in Shih Taotai's map as appertaining to:--\n\n(a.) Upper Hulu, south of the watershed between the Great and Little Nam-kun Rivers (the Nam-kun and Nam-kawn); and\n\n(b.) Mengtum, west of the watershed between the Namt'ung (Namtum) and the Great Nam-kun (Nam-kawn).\n\nAny advance subsequent to the 1st January, 1886, made by Mengtum, Mengkaw, Kengma, or Mengting across their frontier lines as these stood on that date cannot be admitted by Great Britain as valid. If the above States can prove that certain villages were really administered by them south or west of those lines before 1886, then by Article VI of the Treaty of 1894 the alignment as laid down in that Convention may be altered \"on the principle of equivalent concessions.”\n\nPage 5\n\nI shall be glad to learn whether it is the desire of your Government that the above arguments, or any modification of them, should be communicated to the Government of Yunnan.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nW. H. WILKINSON.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum on the Yunnan-Burmah Boundary, from the Namting to Nalawt, by Shih Hung-shao, formerly Acting Intendant of the Southern Circuit, and now Intendant of the Eastern Circuit.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n(Handed to Consul-General Wilkinson, July 25, 1906.)\n\nTHE present Memorandum deals with the undelimited frontier from Cairn 3 at Lai-bsing Shan (Loi Hseng), by the junction of the Namting and Nampa streams on the north, to Cairn 1 on the south, where the Namyung stream debouches into the Namkha River.\n\nThis boundary, it is to be observed, includes certain stockaded villages under the jurisdiction of the Mu-nai Tussu (Sawbwa), territory that has for many years paid land tax and \"corvée\" to the Chenpien Sub-Prefecture. There is Hsi-ming (Mengkha), originally subject to Menglem, but which later on seceded under Lo(hei) insurgents. Its Sawbwa, Tunguning, in the seventeenth year of the Kuang Hsi (1891) gave in his allegiance at the head of his men, and it has long been subject to the control of Chenpien. It has for years paid land tax and \"corvée.\" A Memorial that received the Imperial assent is conspicuous in men's eyes and ears. There is Mengso (Menghsaw), which also was originally subject to Menglem. It seceded under Han Ping-chao, but was recovered in the seventeenth year of the Kuang Hsu (1891) by Imperial troops and reverted to the control of Menglem, which receives land tax and * corvée,\" For all the above are records that may be consulted.\n\nFurther, this boundary follows the Namkha River from places east of the Namıkhan River, such as Namping, Kuauteh, Lungkhan, Fulang, Moyang, Lengkhau, Suhsing (Hsuphse), Kunghsin, Wengwo, and Manpien, some dozens of stockaded villages that were either old Menglem territory which for years paid land tax and provided labour and has never seceded, or which, having seceded under the rebels Cha and Han, has long since been recovered by the Imperial troops and for years been garrisoned. This is undoubtedly territory controlled and governed by Chenpien and Menglem (or, by Menglem in Chenpien).\n\nAccording to the Treaty, Chenpien is left to China, as is also Menglem; and this implies that all territory controlled by Chenpien or Menglem is left to China.\n\nAgain, the Treaty reads, \"shall follow the course of the river forming the boundary between Somu, which belongs to Great Britain, and Meng Ting, which belongs to China. It shall continue to follow the frontier between these two districts, which is locally well known, to where it leaves the aforesaid river and ascends the hills.\" If the boundary-line follows the Namting River, that forms the boundary, then not only the whole of Panbung, in the Upper Hulu, would be left to China, but Hn-pan (Hopang), belonging to Pank'uang (Pangkuan), in the Lower Hulu, and other places, would all have to be marked off as Chinese.\n\nIf this is abandoned and another boundary-line proposed, it would not follow the Namting River, but would start from the south bank of that river, west of Tungkha Hill, and go by Kungmeng (Kawngmawng) and the Menglin (Mongling) Hills to the Pach'ang Hills. To make a division by the Panhung and Pankuang Hills (2.q., to divide along the line of hills forming the frontier between Panbung and Pank'uang) would leave Panhung, in the Upper Hulu, to China, and Pank'uang, in the Lower Hulu, to Great Britain.\n\nAgain, it was originally suggested to leave the parts of the Kawa (Vü) territories bordering on Yünnan to Yunnan, and those bordering on Burmah to Burmah. This suggestion was very fair. The Wild Was' lands lie between Yünnan and Burmah. When delimited, account should be taken of local conditions. In short, Yunnan cannot overstep the Wild Was' lands and occupy districts controlled by Burmah Sawbwas; nor can Burmah overstep the Wild Was' lands and occupy districts controlled by Yunnan T'ussu. This is equitable dealing.\n\nPage 729", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407576, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 40, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "any step towards the establishment of the proposed municipality.

CARNEGIE,\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nTaolai Yuan to Senhor Valdes.\n\nMarch 26, 1900. I HAVE the honour to inform you that it has been arranged to permit foreigners to lease land belonging to private owners in that part of the Paoshan district lying outside but adjoining the International Settlement, and also outside the Commercial Settlement at Woosung. With some modifications, a similar procedure will be adopted to that followed in the case of land held by Chinese subjects under stamped deeds. I have reported the matter to the Superintendent of Southern Trade, and have asked him to apply to the Tsung-li Yamên for sanction. I have also directed the Paoshan Magistrate to make a thorough survey of the locality with a view to ascertaining where foreign merchants can properly be permitted to lease land, and where for any reason it would be undesirable to allow them to do so; to fix boundary marks, draw up a plan with a written description attached, and report to me.\n\nI have now the honour to state that if any foreign merchant wishes to lease land belonging to a private owner in Paoshan district within the boundaries of the area where such leasing is permitted, by Regulation the landowner must first draw up a deed of lease and deliver it to the \"Tipao\" to be \"chopped.\" It should then be transmitted to this office by the proper Consul, whence it will be sent to the district Magistrate, who shall see that the boundary-marks correspond, and that there has been no misappropriation of land, fraudulent sale, or other malpractices. Not till then may money be handed over; and before a sealed deed of lease will be issued by the Magistrate the foreign merchant or his agent must first go to the Magistrate's office and pay the fees required by Chinese law as well as the yearly rent. As regards this class of sealed deeds, I intend to direct the Magistrate to have a sealed register printed in which will be entered the amount of rent payable annually as well as any transfers of the property that may afterwards take place. No corresponding register will be kept in any foreign language, nor will it be necessary for the Consul to send any officer to make a joint survey with the Magistrate, This will be done to mark the fact that the land is leased on different terms to those in force at an open port.\n\nI have submitted a copy of the forms of lease to the Superintendent of Southern Trade, and have ordered the Paoshan Magistrate to define the boundaries, without delay, and report them to me, when I shall inform you thereof. I have now the honour to send you a copy of a form of lease, and request you to transmit it to the Consular Body. I have also the honour to request a reply.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nDeed of Lease issued by the Magistrate of Paoshan District, in the Department of T'ai Ts'ang, in the Empire of China.\n\nWHEREAS I have received the following instructions from the Intendant of the Su Sung T'ai Circuit :-\n\n\"I am in receipt of the following despatch from the Consul-General at Shanghae\n\n\"I have received a petition from the\n\nto lease in perpetuity a piece of land situated in the\n\nof Paoshan district and belonging to\n\nfen\n\nli\n\neast\n\nsubject, applying for permission\n\ndivision of the The extent of the land is hao, and the four boundaries are: on the north\n\nward\n\nmou\n\nsouth\n\nand west\n\nThe price is\n\nand\n\nthe annual land-tax, payable to the Chinese Government, is 2,000 cash a mow, paid in advance.'\n\n\"I beg to send you this despatch for you to take action.\"\n\nto hand the land over to the said\n\nI have directed the landowner foreign merchant. Should the said merchant, his heirs or assigns, hereafter transfer the property without reporting the matter to their Consul, obtaining the Taotui's sanction and having the transaction recorded in the Register, or should he neglect to pay the annual land-tax of 2,000 cash a mow, payable in advance to the Chinese Government, in disobedience to these Regulations, and after having been severely warned on the subject, this deed will become null and void and the land will be confiscated to the Government.\n\nA necessary deed of lease.\n\n; sealed deed No.\n\nDate\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nProclamation by Magistrate of Paoshan District, October 7, 1902.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nWHEREAS I received the following note on the 3rd of this month from Mr. Goodnow, the American Consul-General :-\n\n\"With reference to the road which foreign merchants propose to construct in the Paoshan district from the rifle range to the Szechuan road, a full survey was made by the former Magistrate, an officer of this Consulate, and the Municipal Council's Surveyor, who drew up a plan properly filled in. In addition to the land surrendered by foreign merchants for the purpose of making a road, there remain some 20 mow of land held by twelve Chinese owners, certain portions of which should be surrendered in accordance with the regulations for the purpose of building the road. The road, when completed, will be a great advantage to the residents not merely from the point of view of facility of communications, but also by enhancing the value of land; thus two benefits will be secured at the same time.\n\n\"As, however, it is thought that the ignorant country people may not understand this principle, it has been decided to give payment for land so taken on the following scale :-\n\n\"From North K'ung Chiang, commencing with K'ung Sheng's land as far as the land belonging to Shen Jung Jung, the price of 400 taels a mow will be paid. From Yao Ch'un Fang's property to the \"Ssu Pen Tang\" belonging to Wang the price will be 300 taels a mow; and from Lu Shun Lin's land to Fei Pao Ho's, 200 taels a mow. The prices have been arranged in these three scales according to the loss that will be suffered by the various owners, and they have been arranged on a much more liberal scale than in the case of land surrendered for roads inside the Settlement or for railways. This has been done solely as an act of generosity to the native holders of land.\n\n\"I have therefore the honour to request you to issue a Proclamation notifying the land-owners that they should come to this office with the Head Tipao to receive money due to them, and forbidding them to make any disturbance with a view to obtaining a higher price for their land, as this would interfere with the work of construction.\"\n\nWherefore I have to notify all the land-owners concerned that the object of the foreign merchants in making the road is to improve the means of communication, and further, that the land on each side of the road will rise greatly in value, to the benefit of the land-owners. The price which the foreign merchants have arranged to give for the land required for the road is also exceptionally liberal when compared with that fixed by the Settlement Regulations.\n\nI have therefore to instruct you to go with the Head Tipao, Yao Chun, to the American Consulate to receive the full sums due to you. You must not seek pretexts to cause an obstruction with a view to getting a higher price, and if you venture to disobey these instructions, on complaint being made by the foreign merchants, you will be summoned before me for trial. Let all tremble and obey.\n\n(List of land-owners and amount of land required from each attached.)\n\n[2188 ƒ-7]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407637, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 101, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "## \n\npour le porter à envoyer sa réponse aussitôt que possible.

The Mixed Court at Shanghai shall keep separate dockets in Chinese of all police cases and mixed civil cases, entering each case separately, numbering it consecutively, with the date of filing, the names of the parties in full, their nationality, the thing claimed, with the Minutes and dates of all orders, decrees, continuances, appeals, and proceedings until final judgment, and a sufficient minute of the final judgment.\n\n(b.) The Mixed Court shall have power to deal with all criminal cases punishable by cangue or beating with the bamboo, or by imprisonment not exceeding three years, and shall keep a separate docket thereof as above provided.\n\n(c.) Such several dockets except those of police cases and mixed civil cases, which may be examined by any party materially interested at any time after the case has been decided, if they contain confidential or important information which it is not advisable to disclose, shall not be subject to inspection.\n\nThe remaining civil cases brought directly to the Court need not be recorded in a separate docket, but when such cases are disposed of the judgment, together with a statement of the names of the parties and witnesses already set at liberty or otherwise dealt with shall be exhibited in due course on the notice board for general information.\n\n2. All trials and proceedings in the Mixed Court of Shanghai shall be open to the public, unless the Assessor and Judge agree that for confidential reasons and for public morals the case should be private.\n\n3. The office of Magistrate of the Mixed Court shall be an official post with all the attributes of the yamen of a Prefect, Independent Sub-Prefect, or Independent Departmental Magistrate. The Magistrate shall be selected and deputed from among the Prefects, Sub-Prefects, Assistant Sub-Prefects, Departmental and District Magistrates of the province. If the official deputed be a Departmental or District Magistrate, the rules shall be followed applying to an Acting Prefect or Acting (Independent (?)) Departmental Magistrate. His official dealings and correspondence shall be conducted on the lines followed by a Prefect, Independent Sub-Prefect, or an Independent Departmental Magistrate. If there is no suitable official in the province, an official from another province may be used. The Shanghai Taotai shall in either case request the Viceroy and the Governor to make the appointment (and, if occasion demands), to address (the authorities of another province asking for the) use (of an official's services). [TRANSLATOR.—The Chinese drafting requires amendment here.]\n\nThe date of his taking over and handing over charge shall be reported to the Board.\n\n4.(a) In all cases, except where both parties are Chinese, and in which no foreigner is involved, a foreign official shall sit as Assessor. The powers of these foreign Assessors, who shall be appointed by the respective Consular representatives, subject to the Treaty rights of each nationality of foreigners, shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Chefoo Convention, section 2.\n\n(b.) If the Magistrate and Assessor fail to agree after consideration upon the decision in any case, it shall be referred to the Taotai and Consul, or Consul-General concerned, as the case may be.\n\n## \n\n5. The Mixed Court gaol shall be kept under European sanitary conditions. An experienced and capable Chinese medical officer shall be engaged by the Court itself to carry out this work, and the Shanghai Taotai shall set aside funds for this purpose.\n\nIf in the future the Court gets a proper gaol, separate rules will be drawn up for its satisfactory administration.\n\n6. No warrant or summons of the Mixed Court against Chinese in the foreign Settlement north of the Yang-king-pang shall be enforced unless countersigned by the Senior Consul.\n\n(In the case of respectable persons, and when the circumstances of the case are not really grave, a summons should only be issued, and warrants must not be used unnecessarily. If a party fails to appear when summoned more than once he may then be arrested under a warrant.)\n\nIf the defendant is in the employment of a foreigner, such warrant must be also countersigned by the Consul of the nationality of the employer of the defendant.\n\nIn Chinese cases, where the parties are summoned by the Chinese Magistrate, they are to be released on bail if the hearing of the case is not at once impending, so as to avoid detention in custody.\n\nNow that no torture is employed in hearing cases, the new Regulations sanctioned by the Throne shall be followed.\n\n7. In all cases, civil or criminal, which come before the Court, where a foreign Assessor is sitting, and both parties are represented by counsel, before an attorney or counsel is admitted to practise in the Mixed Court, he must satisfy the Court that he has been admitted to practise in the Consular Court of his own nationality at Shanghai.\n\n8. No alteration.\n\n9. In cases involving principles where no precedents exist in Chinese law, the Court shall be governed by Chinese commercial custom and equity.\n\n10. No alteration.\n\n11.

ON the 4th December of last year your Imperial Highness addressed a note to the doyen of the Diplomatic Body on the subject of the Supplementary Rules for the Mixed Court at Shanghai, transmitting the amendments proposed by the High Commissioner for Southern Trade to the draft which we had the honour to place before your Highness on the 5th January, 1905.\n\nThese amendments have now been carefully considered, and we have the honour to inclose herewith a revised draft, respecting the alterations in which we desire to make the following observations:-\n\n**Article 1** deals with the Court records, and it has seemed to us injurious to the reputation of the Court that while in police cases and in mixed civil cases there should be a complete record open to the inspection of the parties materially interested, for the remaining civil cases brought directly to the Court no record should be kept. We have, therefore, omitted the word \"mixed\" in clause (a) of this Article, and substituted the wording of the original draft for clause (c). As regards clause (b), which defines the class of crimes with which the Court has competence to deal, we have added a note explaining that the punishment of beating must now be commuted to a fine, and we have omitted the words \"not exceeding three years,\" as it seems to us that they unduly limit the powers of the Court.\n\n**Article 2** we accept the emendation of the Board.\n\n**Article 3**, dealing with the rank of the Magistrate, is of great importance. Ever since the foundation of the Court, one of its principal difficulties has been the subordinate position of the Magistrate, and in considering the proposal now made, we trust that it may be borne in mind that the Magistrate's functions differ from those of... \n\nPage 97", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407797, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 261, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "256\n\n6\n\nHis Excellency Tang eventually expressed his willingness to modify his previous decision so far as to agree that after tender British goods should have preference at equal prices, and that 5 per cent, commission would be paid on all purchases of British goods.\n\nMr. Bland recapitulated the arguments already advanced, and expressed the opinion that it would be useless to lay such a proposition before the Directors of the Corporation. He further drew attention to the fact that the Chinese Government, which had hitherto put forward the views of the provincial authorities and gentry as a reason for modifying the terms of the Shanghae-Nanking Loan Agreement was, in the present instance, endeavouring to impose conditions far more stringent than those desired by the Provincial Viceroy.\n\nHis Excellency Tang Shao-yi stated that the terms of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway's Loan Agreement could not be made applicable to the present negotiations. He contested the validity of the preliminary Agreement, because the Corporation was not intrusted with the construction of the entire line from Canton to Kowloon city, maintaining that the building of the railway between these two points by the Corporation was an essential condition of that Agreement, whereas it now appeared that the Corporation was only concerned with the section in Chinese territory. He claimed for the Chinese Government the same discretionary powers as those exercised by the Hong Kong Government.\n\nMr. Bland, in reply, stated that at the time of sanctioning the preliminary Agreement of March 1899 the Chinese Government was fully aware that the Corporation's construction rights were limited to Chinese territory, and that the expression \"British Kowloon\" in clause 1 of that Agreement could only mean the frontier of the leased territory, and was never intended to mean Kowloon city. By the Concession granted in September 1898 the Corporation was given the right to finance and build a Chinese railway in Chinese territory on terms not less favourable than the Luhan Concession; several points had already been conceded to meet the views of the Chinese Government, and in view of conditions admittedly altered since that date, but his Excellency's present proposals were tantamount to denial of all rights and advantages under the Concession.\n\nHis Excellency Tang Shao-yi, after consultation with the Canton Viceroy's delegates, stated that the terms offered could not be further modified, and Mr. Bland, being unable to accept them, undertook to report the situation to the Board and to convey their reply in due course.\n\nThe meeting then proceeded to consider the remaining clauses of the Canton Viceroy's proposals.\n\nArticle 10.--No discussion.\n\nArticle 11.--His Excellency Tang Shao-yi considered that the question of railway telegraphs was an internal matter for regulation by the Chinese Government, and that this clause was therefore superfluous in the loan Agreement; it would, however, find a place in the working Agreement to be arranged with the Hong Kong Government.\n\nArticle 12.--The Chinese Representatives agreed that all receipts from traffic should be deposited in the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank, but his Excellency Tang Shao-yi claimed that the usual market rate of interest on the daily balance should be allowed, as in the case of other Chinese Government railways; also, that in the event of large accumulations of profits, the Chinese Government should dispose of the same in the same manner as those of the Northern Railways. Mr. Bland undertook to obtain the views of the Bank in the matter, suggesting at the same time, that the procedure adopted for the Shanghae-Nanking Railway should be followed.\n\nArticle 13.--No discussion.\n\nArticle 14.--His Excellency Tang Shao-yi stated that the Chinese Government would henceforward charge all railway construction with the proper amounts payable for duty and li-kin, this also being a purely Government question. No taxes or stamp fees would be imposed on the interest or revenues of the line. The question of li-kin on goods carried by the railway was a matter for arrangement under the working Agreement.\n\nArticle 15.--Agreed that the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank's commission of per cent. is payable on all sums disbursed by the Bank on account of the service of the loan during and after construction. His Excellency Tang Shao-yi stipulates, however, that in the purchase of sterling drafts to pay the half-yearly amounts due for interest and capital, the Chinese Government shall be free to buy in the open market.\n\nArticle 16.--Considered by the Chinese Representatives to be superfluous.\n\nArticle 17.--No discussion.\n\nArticle 18.--A reasonable time limit to be conceded under the conditions stated, its period to be a matter for amicable arrangement between the Corporation and the Chinese Government.\n\nArticle 19.--His Excellency Tang Shao-yi observed that the freight charges, &c., are matters to be regulated by the Director-General of the Railway in consultation with the Traffic Manager and Engineer-in-chief, and that the final arrangements are a matter for discussion and inclusion under the working Agreement.\n\nArticle 20.--Mr. Bland pointed out that this clause as drafted by the Viceroy would be prejudicial to the Chinese Government's interests, inasmuch as the investing public would not be likely to buy bonds under the conditions proposed. He suggested that a premium of 2½ per cent, be paid on all bonds redeemed before the lapse of 25 years. This question was left open.\n\nAs regards the method of repaying the capital, Kung Taotai explained that the Viceroy's intention is to redeem the bonds in 40 drawings, one each year after the tenth year.\n\nArticle 21.--Not discussed.\n\nArticles 22 and 23.--Mr. Bland pointed out that the loan Agreement would not be possible in England if the Chinese text were authoritative, nor could it be signed before the issue of the sanctioning Edict.\n\nThe Canton Viceroy's proposals having now been discussed seriatim, Mr. Bland observed that if the existing difficulties as regards price and commission on materials could be met by the Chinese Government's indorsing the Canton Viceroy's fair and reasonable conditions, the conclusion of the Agreement should not entail any great delay; if not, he feared the negotiations had reached a deadlock. There were certain further points to be brought forward, arising out of the Corporation's draft Agreement, but he thought it would be better to allow these to stand over until an agreement were come to on the essential conditions.\n\nHis Excellency Tang Shao-yi hoped that the Corporation would see its way to accepting the China Government's terms—i.e., a loan at 96 and commission on importations from England.\n\nThe Meeting then adjourned, it being understood that the Board's reply would be communicated when received.\n\n0", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407982, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 446, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "441\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nMr. G. Brown to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nTien-tsin, September 24, 1906.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of and to thank your Excellency for the telegram of the 21st instant, which reached me through His Majesty's Consulate-General, and was worded as follows:----\n\n\"I shall take the first opportunity to press for issue of Shansi permit. I quite recognize that you have waited long enough, but as the Foreign Office will not be in possession of full information until first week of October, I should prefer, if my representations are ineffectual, to wait at least till then before proposing further action.\"\n\nI am communicating this telegram to the Board of the Peking Syndicate in London, in order that all the information in their possession may be placed at the service of the Foreign Office, and I am appealing for the strongest possible support.\n\nIt is gratifying to learn that your Excellency is entirely satisfied with the patience and forbearance hitherto displayed by the Syndicate in these protracted negotiations.\n\nThe history of the case, from the first application for the permit and the visit of my predecessor, Mr. George Jamieson, to the then Governor of Shansi at Tai Yuan Fu in November of last year, when the Syndicate's sole right was challenged, up to the present date, has in its course from time to time been duly reported to His Majesty's Legation. I will only recapitulate a few of the later salient items.\n\nIn February of this year, at the instance of Sir Ernest Satow, I personally took up the discussion of the Syndicate's rights at a meeting with the Wai-wu Pu and some Shansi gentry, when his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, who had been specially charged, I understood, with the conduct of this matter, played the leading part.\n\nI also interviewed at considerable length his Excellency En Shou, the new Shansi Governor, previous to his departure from Peking for his post in March last, the visit being arranged by His Majesty's Legation, and facilitated by his Excellency Tong Shou-yi.\n\nLed to believe that these two Chinese officials were acting in good faith and really endeavouring to arrive at a satisfactory settlement, for the attainment of which they required a reasonable allowance of time, I laid before them full details of our claim, but in no way unduly pressed them.\n\nDuring the long period that subsequently elapsed, I was unable, in response to frequent inquiries, to obtain any information or assurance as to the probable result, beyond obscure hints of a favourable issue. I was constantly met with evasive answers and excuses.\n\nA written application of the 14th July to his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, as Vice-President of the Wai-wu Pu, remained unanswered.\n\nAt last, after various promises to give me a meeting on this subject had not been fulfilled, I managed to obtain an interview at the Wai-wu Pu on the 27th July with their Excellencies Tong Shoa-yi and Chu Pao-fay, his Excellency Lien Fang being present part of the time. On the 31st July attended again.\n\nWhat took place on these two occasions was recorded in my letter to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires of the 2nd August, and, although it amounted to discussion and little more, yet the general tone of the Chinese officials was such as to incline me to credit them at least with good intentions.\n\nOn the 9th August we met again at the Wai-wu Pu by appointment, Mr. Reid, the Syndicate's Engineer-in-Chief, being with me to furnish expert information and maps.\n\nAs a result, the promise was made by their Excellencies, and confirmed more than once before we parted, that instructions would at once be sent to the Governor of Shansi to draft the permit, which, with any attendant conditions, was to be communicated to me immediately on receipt, and I was to be at liberty to accept or reject it according to whether it proved satisfactory or the reverse.\n\nOn the following day, his Excellency Chu Pao Fay sent me a note asking post-haste for two prints of the permit map, which were at once provided.\n\nDelighted with this exhibition of energy, I saw a mirage vision of my task completed.\n\nIn a letter to his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, as Vice-President of the Wai-wu Pu, dated the 20th August, forwarding another copy of the permit map, I, in order to give no room for misunderstanding, mentioned what had occurred at the meeting of the 9th, and pointedly referred to the promise made to me. No answer was returned.\n\nOn the 7th instant, his Excellency T'ong verbally informed me that a communication from the Shansi Governor had not been sent on to me, because it was unsatisfactory, but had been returned to Tai Yuan Fu for amendment, and he promised to let me know at once of the receipt of any further communication, whether satisfactory or not.\n\nOn the 17th instant, he said that nothing further had yet come.\n\nIn these circumstances, tired out with lingering negotiations, weary of waiting for the fulfilment of promises that seem to be forgotten as soon as made, I may perhaps be excused if I incline to accept the conclusion thus gradually forced upon me that this very important matter is being trifled with, that I am being stayed with vain hopes, that there is no intention on the part of the Chinese Government to fulfil its obligations, even when bearing the impress of the Imperial seal, and that this deliberate violation of a solemn agreement is regarded in these days as the common prerogative of the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nThe instructions of my Board of Directors, who are responsible to a large and influential body of shareholders induced to invest their money on the strength of China's written word, are that, failing to obtain the recognition by the Chinese Government of the Syndicate's sole right to mine coal in Ping Ting Chou, which is one of the five districts of Shansi specified by the compact of 1898, with the consequent issue of a permit when applied for, I am to present to the Wai-wu Pu a claim for £2000 a day as compensation for the breach of faith and the resultant losses.\n\nIn deference to your Excellency's wishes, and with great confidence in your Excellency's power to so influence the trend of events as to make this proceeding unnecessary, I postpone for the moment taking this final step.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) GEORGE BROWN, Agent-General of the Peking Syndicate (Limited).", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 408254, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 718, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "he spent most \"he his time) told me unter alin of did not believe me word Trand, that I was a dad lying jew the toy\" and proceeded violently bursaulte me.

In addition to this being a free port, the Imperial Maritime Customs have now decreed that foreign goods re-exported from Shanghae to Dalny are entitled to duty drawback. The natural outcome of this legislation is that goods are shipped to Newchwang viâ Dalny duty-free, whereas on direct cargoes from Shanghae to Newchwang full duties are demanded.\n\nThe result is the concurrent existence of one toll-gate and one open gate to Manchuria, an anomaly for which there appears to this Chamber no justification.\n\nI have therefore the honour, on behalf of the Chamber, to request that you will represent to the proper authorities the urgent necessity either of constituting Newchwang a free port, until the establishment of the Imperial Chinese Customs on the Manchurian boundary of the free port of Dalny, or of the immediate establishment of such customs control over imports from Dalny into Manchuria.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**HENRY KESWICK, Chairman.**\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n## Doyen of Diplomatic Body to Shanghae Chamber of Commerce.\n\nLe 10 Décembre, 1906. \nJ'AI porté à la connaissance de MM. les Chefs des Missions Diplomatiques à Pékin la lettre du 29 Octobre dernier, par laquelle la Chambre Générale de Commerce de Shanghai se plaignait de la situation désavantageuse faite à la place de Newchwang par l'introduction en franchise en Mandchourie des marchandises débarquées à Dalny.\n\nIl semble que cette situation soit à la veille de cesser, car le motif pour lequel les autorités Japonaises s'opposaient à l'installation d'une douane Chinoise à Dalny n'existe plus; elles ne voulaient pas de cette installation, tant que sur les places frontières Chinoises traversées par le Chemin de Fer Mandchourien, des douanes Chinoises n'auraient pas été établies. Or, le Gouvernement Russe a donné son assentiment à cet établissement, et celui-ci, par conséquent, ne dépend plus que de la volonté du Gouvernement Chinois.\n\nLes Légations intéressées, notamment celles d'Allemagne, de France, de Grande-Bretagne, pressent le Quai-ou Pu de s'exécuter, et nous avons lieu de penser que, sous l'effet de cette pression, l'Administration des Douanes Maritimes Chinoises aura bientôt établi son fonctionnement régulier tant à Dalny que sur la frontière septentrionale de la Mandchourie.\n\n(Signé) \nBAPST. \nD.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey-(Received January 28, 1907.) \nPeking, December 12, 1906. \nWITH reference to my despatch No. 408 of the 12th October, I have the honour to state that since the interview reported in my despatch No. 401 of the 4th October the Wai-wu Pu have informed me verbally that Prince Ching was consulted as promised, and that the suggested participation in the issue of capital for the Soochow-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway has been placed before the Chekiang authorities and gentry by letter.\n\nI did not propose to press this matter again until the Final Loan Agreement for the Canton-Kowloon Railway was sanctioned by Imperial Decree, but newspaper reports of a formal opening of work on a railway at Hangchow, which was attended by the high provincial authorities with the exception of the Governor, made it necessary for me to remind the Wai-wu Pu once more of the terms of the Preliminary Agreement. This I did in an interview of the 4th instant, and I also informed their Excellencies that Mr. Bland would return in a few days to Peking and would probably communicate with them on the subject. Their Excellencies said that they bore the Preliminary Agreement in mind, but made no comment on the proceedings reported to have taken place at Hangchow.\n\nA despatch of the 30th ultimo received from the Acting British Consul at Hangchow, copy of which is inclosed, led me to repeat my caution yesterday at the Wai-wu Pu. The only Minister present during the greater part of the interview, the Grand Secretary Ch'u Hung-chi, ingenuously urged the oft-repeated difficulty which the Chinese Government found in imposing its will on the provinces. In this case, he argued, the Court was helpless, and could not exercise the pressure necessary to stop the work on the railway. I endeavoured to show his Excellency the absurdity of such arguments in international questions, but he is the member of the Wai-wu Pu least acquainted with the elements of foreign intercourse, and he seemed to be quite incapable of examining his confession of weakness from any but a purely Chinese standpoint.\n\nI impressed on his Excellency the necessity of allowing nothing to be done in Chekiang which would prejudice the rights of the British and Chinese Corporation under the Preliminary Agreement, the validity of which had been lately confirmed by the Chinese Government. To this he rejoined by an appeal to retard the consideration of a Final Agreement for the present, but I gave him plainly to understand that the proceedings of the provincial authorities made a postponement impossible.\n\nAs soon as Mr. Bland reached Peking-he is expected on the 14th instant-I shall consider with him the appropriate time and opportunity for opening the negotiations with his Excellency Tang Shao-yi for the conclusion of a Final Agreement relating to this railway.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**J.

The Government, in its leniency, merely adopted the measure of heavy taxation, in the hope that that would be prohibitive; but the people foolishly failed to appreciate this motive, and cultivation and smoking continued as before. The evil has now permeated all the provinces, and entails immeasurable loss of wealth, a most lamentable state of affairs. The Throne is now adopting reform in all matters, having national self-reliance in view, and an Imperial Edict, setting a term for discontinuance of the use of opium, has been promulgated, notwithstanding that this involves the giving up of many millions of revenue from duty and li-kin, so that only the people may derive new benefit. There will assuredly be no lack of men of education inspired by this ambition who will give up the drug; but there will still be many dilatory and lax persons willing to remain sunk in the vice, and this will be because of the large number of opium shops established and the ease with which a man can be tempted to his ruin. There is no other way of attacking the practice in a radical manner and exhibiting a proper warning and example than that of closing these shops.\n\nIn Chihli Province, already the rule has been obeyed, and a limit of six months imposed for the closing of the shops; but the great port of Shanghae must be made to afford a signal example of abolition, and all the gentry have appealed to me to impose similar prohibition to that of Chihli. The officials and their underlings must, of course, be the first to stop, and, further, the minute Regulations laid down for the abandonment of the use of the drug will be duly published here and issued to the other districts, &c. This Proclamation is now issued for the information of all (owners of) opium shops—large and small—in the city and suburbs that they are to close as such in six months from to-day and be converted to other forms of business. In this period, no addition may be made to the number of opium shops—only reductions. Any persons who have not closed their shops within the time, or who continue secretly to allow smoking and sell opium, will be arrested and severely punished, and all the effects on the premises will be confiscated. Landlords who knowingly allow this to go on will be fined and have the house sealed and sold according to degree of their offence. Wine shops which also sell the drug are not the same as regular opium shops, and these must stop the consumption and sale of opium in one month. Disobedience will involve punishments as above. This announcement will be followed by immediate action in its terms, and no excuse of ignorance will be taken. Tremble and obey! This is of the utmost importance.\n\n`Hsin Wen Pao`, December 22, 1906.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n**Extracts from \"Nan Fang Pao\" of January 2 and 8, 1907.**\n\n## OPIUM PROHIBITION IN TIEN-TSIN.\n\nIT is most gratifying to learn by latest advices from Tien-tsin that all opium dens in that city, both large and small, were closed simultaneously on the 16th last month, despite the protests of their proprietors, who pleaded for an extension of time. The opium dens in the British and Japanese Settlements have been treated in a similar manner. In the Japanese Concession, opium lamps are prohibited even in the restaurants and brothels. The only exceptions are in the French and Austrian Settlements, where in every opium den smokers are found gathered in large numbers both day and night.\n\nIt is most unfortunate that the authorities of the French Settlement have not yet shown their willingness to co-operate with the Chinese in their efforts to stamp out the opium evil in Tien-tsin, for until that is done, prohibition in the native city will be utterly useless, as the smokers have only to go into the French and Austrian Concessions to indulge in the habit.\n\nThe Chinese press in Tien-tsin is taking up the matter and is urging the Chinese authorities not to lose any time in inducing all the foreign Consuls to prohibit public opium smoking in their Concessions within a fixed time.\n\nThe Tien-tsin police are displaying the most praiseworthy energy in the detection and arrest of violaters of the new Opium Regulations. Soon after the opium dens were closed, keepers of two such closed places in the city were detected to be secretly opening opium lamps for the use of customers, and were at once arrested and each fined by the Magistrate 100 dollars and 100 blows. This summary punishment has had the effect of striking terror into the hearts of would-be breakers of the Regulations, and since that date, no more attempts at violating the law have been discovered.\n\nSpecially intelligent and reliable officers and men have been selected from the city police to act as inspectors of opium dens in the city and suburbs, so as to uphold the orders of his Excellency Viceroy Yuan.\n\nThe spirit shown by the British and Japanese Consuls in thus readily agreeing to co-operate with the Chinese authorities in the matter of opium suppression in their Concessions is greatly appreciated by the Chinese in Tien-tsin, and no doubt this appreciation will find its echo in the hearts of all patriotic Chinese who desire to see the national curse eradicated.\n\nWe are waiting to see the example of Tien-tsin promptly followed by the city of Shanghae, and if the pronouncement of the Customs Taotai to close all opium dens within six months is really carried into effect, the Chinese here will have cause for rejoicing and thankfulness.\n\n## THE ANTI-OPIUM PROPAGANDA.\n\nIt is most satisfactory to learn that, following the example of his Excellency Viceroy Yuan Shih-kai in Tien-tsin, the authorities in Peking are adopting the most active measures for carrying out the anti-opium propaganda in their city. Proclamations are now posted all over Peking notifying all the opium shops and dens that they must close within six months, or they will be severely punished. No excuse on the plea of ignorance of the Regulations will be allowed.\n\nIn Tien-tsin, the anti-opium crusade is going on with unabated vigour. Not satisfied with merely closing the opium dens, the Magistrate has again issued stringent orders to the hotel keepers in the city and suburbs that no smokers are to be allowed to use their premises as retreats for opium smoking. A register must be kept by each hotel, giving particulars as to the age, occupation, habits, &c., of each visitor.\n\nNot to leave the work to be done by officials alone, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce at Tien-tsin is organizing an Anti-Opium Society in the city, and the merchants have held a meeting and passed a Resolution that all Chinese ranking as merchants must give up the opium habit forthwith, and that those of their employés who do not give it up must be dismissed.\n\nPage 498", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411474, "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": "CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 651, "title": "CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## The first intimation I had of the rising was on the 29th November...\n\nThe first intimation I had of the rising was on the 29th November, when it was reported to me that a small body of troops had been sent from Changsha to suppress some trouble on the borders of Hunan and Kiangsi, in the three districts of Lin-yang, Li-ling, and Ping-hsiang. No importance was, however, attached to the movement; in fact, it was stated that the ringleader had already been arrested and was to be beheaded. On the 6th December further rumours reached me; and on the following day I received a letter from the Foreign Bureau asking me, in view of the disturbed state of affairs in the Lin-yang and the Li-ling districts, to direct British subjects not to travel there for the present, and informing me that the German community at Ping-hsiang, as well as the foreign Manager of the Ping-hsiang-Chu-chou Railway, with his wife and family, who resided at Li-ling, were being brought down to Changsha until all danger was over. When they arrived in Changsha, on the 8th December, I inquired of Mr. Leinung, the chief mining engineer at Ping-hsiang, as to the state of affairs; but he informed me that everything was absolutely quiet, and that they had seen no trace of any rebels, but that they had come away in deference to the wishes of the Chinese authorities, and hoped to be able to return in a few days. He added that work was proceeding as usual at the collieries, and that neither the railway nor the telegraph lines had been interrupted.\n\n## On the 10th December fuller details about the rising came to hand.\n\nOn the 10th December fuller details about the rising came to hand. I was informed that the rebels, who called themselves the Ko-ming Chun, numbered several thousands; that they were well armed with rifles, and were distinguished by the white uniforms they wore. The number of troops at the front being insufficient, and the rebels gaining ground daily, I learnt that the Governor had dispatched an additional 1,000 men.\n\n## Refugees began to arrive from Liu-yang...\n\nOn the following day, the 11th December, refugees in large numbers began to arrive from Liu-yang, some 45 miles distant, who stated that the rebels had occupied that city and that all the inhabitants had fled. It was also said that the rebels, who displayed banners bearing the legend, \"Expel the dynasty and exterminate the foreigners!\" were about to march on Changsha. A state of something like panic began to prevail, and a large proportion of the population began to make hurried arrangements for flight. I lost no time in seeing the Japanese Consul, to consult with him as to the steps it might be advisable to take in the interests of the foreign community; and we paid a joint call on the Head of the Military Bureau, Taotai Yü Ming-i, to ascertain from him the true state of affairs. He informed us that, although the rebels had not yet occupied Liu-yang, they were encamped just opposite, on the other side of the river, but that the city itself was in the occupation of the troops, who were being reinforced with the utmost possible dispatch. He added that his chief apprehension was that the rebels might capture Liu-yang, after which they could march on Changsha without meeting with much opposition, or else that they might make a detour to avoid Liu-yang, and march on Changsha direct. He said, however, that he was dispatching a body of troops to occupy a strategical point on the road from Lin-yang to Changsha, whereby he hoped to check their advance; and that, in the meantime, other troops would be sent to Li-ling by rail, whence they would take the rebels in the rear, while the Kiangsi troops would co-operate on their side in the Ping-hsiang district. Yü Taotai went on to say that he himself was proceeding on the following day to Liu-yang, as the most convenient spot whence to direct the operations. The town, he said, was utterly deserted by the inhabitants, those who could afford to do so having escaped to Changsha, while the bulk of the population had fled to the hills, where they were at present in hiding.\n\n## The general plan of campaign...\n\nThe general plan of campaign seemed to be to surround the rebels on three sides, hemming them in ever closer, and thus preventing the rising from spreading to the adjoining districts. The dispositions were not ill-conceived, and had the Hunanese troops been reasonably efficient no anxiety need have been felt as to the result. Unfortunately, apart from their inadequate training and discipline, the troops, unless in overwhelming numbers, could not be prevailed upon to meet the rebels in open fight, and had already on several occasions thrown away their arms and fled; besides which there is no doubt that a considerable proportion of them were in sympathy with the rebels, and were themselves members of Secret Societies. Yü Taotai evidently considered that the need for the arrival of the Hupei troops was urgent, and was making preparations to act more or less on the defensive until they came.\n\n## In response to a question put by me...\n\nIn response to a question put by me, he said that about 3,000 local troops, drawn from the Chang-pei Chun and the Hsin-fang Tui, as well as three machine-guns, had already been drafted to the front; while a regiment of Hupei troops with six mountain guns had already arrived at Yochow, and would be dispatched with the least possible delay viâ Siangtan to Chu-chou, and thence by rail to Li-ling.\n\n## To a further question...\n\nTo a further question he replied that some of the rebels had rifles, but that the bulk of them were armed with shot-guns or with jingals, and that in some cases they made use of hollowed-out tree-trunks as cannon. In fact, he evidently considered that the critical nature of the situation arose less from the preparations of the rebels than from the unreliability and the inefficiency of his own troops.\n\n## As to the number of the rebels...\n\nAs to the number of the rebels he could give me no definite information, but stated that those encamped opposite Liu-yang might number some 3,000; while there was another large body of them at Li-ling, and a number scattered about all over the country.\n\n## On the following day...\n\nOn the following day the Japanese Consul and I addressed a joint note to the Governor, asking him what measures he proposed to take to insure the safety of the foreigners in Changsha and elsewhere in the event of any serious disturbance. The Governor replied in general terms, but sent the Customs Taotai to see me on the 14th December. After we had discussed the necessary precautions, the Taotai informed me that two battles, near the cities of Li-ling and Liu-yang respectively, had been fought on the 12th December, in both of which the rebels had been defeated with considerable loss and compelled to retreat, having been driven back from Liu-yang a distance of some 40 li. He considered that these successes, coupled with the arrival of the Hupei troops, had relieved the tension of the situation, and that there was no further need for serious apprehension. I mentioned that it was rumoured that the rebels numbered some 30,000 or more, against whom were opposed only 4,000 or 5,000 troops. He admitted that the number of the rebels was very large, but said that they were scattered all over the three districts of Liu-yang, Li-ling, and Ping-hsiang, and that since the two battles mentioned above there were no large bodies of them anywhere. He also stated that many were now giving themselves up, the number of surrenders at Li-ling at the present moment amounting to about 100 a-day.\n\n## Since that date and the arrival in Changsha...\n\nSince that date and the arrival in Changsha of the regiment of Hupei troops, nearly the whole of which was immediately sent to the front, the state of affairs has steadily improved. The rebels got disheartened as soon as the tide began to turn against them, and the defections from their ranks grew more numerous daily. They endeavoured to make these defections good by sending out parties in all directions to induce recruits to join their standard. These parties went as far afield as Siangtan and Pao-ching-fu, and one of them appeared in the immediate vicinity of Changsha. These isolated attempts were, however, suppressed by the authorities without much difficulty.\n\n## The rebels are now mostly in hiding...\n\nThe rebels are now mostly in hiding in the hills between the Liu-yang and the Ping-chiang districts, their last appearance in large numbers having been in the latter half of December, when they made an irruption into the Ping-chiang district, which at first caused some alarm, and in consequence of which the two British missionaries residing there came in to Changsha for safety. These rebels, however, were merely a disorderly rabble, forming part of the main body which had been defeated by the troops at Liu-yang, who had made their way through the hills into the adjoining district. While still giving the authorities there a considerable amount of trouble, they are gradually being driven back to the hills, and must eventually disappear altogether. At the worst there is a second regiment of Hupei troops stationed at Yochow, ready to lend assistance in case of need.\n\n## Since the middle of December...\n\nSince the middle of December the history of the rising has practically been a tale of rebels killed in fight or captured and beheaded. No quarter is given, and the authorities have set themselves the task of exterminating them altogether, as far as possible. The German engineers and the manager of the railway returned to Ping-hsiang and Li-ling respectively in the first days of January. During the whole time they had been away, neither the railway nor the telegraph line between Ping-hsiang and Chu-chou had ever been interrupted, nor had work at the Ping-hsiang collieries ceased even for a day.\n\n## As regards the future...\n\nAs regards the future, the rising, though quelled for the time being, has by no means been definitely stamped out, and there seems to be every probability of a recrudescence of the troubles at the first favourable opportunity.

But as Mr. Bennertz was a person with no capital, and really was not a bona fide commission agent, and, moreover, as the Chinese from whom he had rented a house was a person of no esteem among the local gentry and people, and it was feared that he was relying upon the protection of Mr. Bennertz, and that this would lead to further complications, it was consequently desired that he should be made to remove and live outside the city.\n\n\"This feeling really only arose on account of Mr. Bennertz and his landlord, and it was not at all intended to obstruct foreign merchants and to disallow them to carry on business in the city.\" The tenor of your Excellency's despatch is directly at variance with this note of the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nOn receipt of your Excellency's despatch we telegraphed to our respective Ministers on the subject, and have now received telegraphic instructions to the effect that your Excellency's despatch contravenes Treaty provisions, and is, moreover, contrary to the instructions received from the Wai-wu Pu, and we are directed to return your Excellency's despatch.\n\nYour Excellency's reply to us being, as stated above, contrary both to Treaty provisions and to the instructions of the Wai-wu Pu, it is quite impossible for us to accept it, and we therefore have the honour to return it to you.\n\nGentlemen,\n\nWe avail, &c.\n\n(Seals of Japanese and of British Consuls.)\n\n\n## Inclosure 6 in No. 1 \n\n**Governor of Hunan to Japanese and British Consuls at Changsha**\n\nChangsha, January 23, 1907,\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your joint despatch of the 18th January in reply to mine, stating that I was unable to comply with the request of the British merchants to be allowed to start business establishments inside the city of Changsha.\n\nYou say that the statements made in my despatch are utterly at variance with the provisions of the Treaties both with Japan and with the United Kingdom, and that the matter is one which has long been definitely recognized, and admits of no question. You quote the wording of the despatch addressed by the Wai-wu Pu to the British Minister as showing that their views are not in accordance with the tenor of my reply to you, and state that it is quite impossible for you to accept the latter.\n\nIn the various Treaties both with the United Kingdom and with Japan, there is nowhere an explicit admission of the right of British or Japanese merchants to open business establishments inside the city. In April 1906, the Foreign Bureau and the Changsha Customs Taotai jointly reported that the business started by the British merchant, Mr. Bennertz, under the style of Yi-bêng-t'ai, had been taken over by the local gentry. Annexed to their report were copies of despatches which had been exchanged in August and September 1905, with the British Consul, Mr. Flaherty, wherein the latter maintained that the city of Changsha had been opened as a Treaty port, which contention had been repeatedly combated by the Customs Taotai.\n\nA few days ago I received a despatch from the Wai-wu Pu stating that, on the 25th December, they had been addressed on this subject by the Japanese Minister, Mr. Hayashi. The latter had contended that foreign merchants were at liberty to reside and trade both inside and outside the city of Changsha, and also that all foreign goods entering the city and all native goods purchased in the city were entitled to pass in and out free of li-kin. To this Prince Ching replied that nowhere in the Commercial Treaties was there an explicit admission of any such rights, and that any of foreigners were no more entitled to set up business establishments inside the city than foreign and native goods were entitled to pass in and out free of li-kin. He added that the Settlement area, which had been delimited outside the city of Changsha, was at the present time more than sufficient for the requirements of all foreign merchants; that the population inside the city was exceedingly dense and the space very restricted; and that it would be an inconvenience to both parties for foreign merchants to open business establishments there.\n\nOn receipt of this communication I instructed the Changsha Customs Taotai accordingly.\n\nWe transact business here together within easy reach of each other; and if, in discussing individual cases, our views do not harmonize, nothing is simpler than to set them forth on paper. But it was utterly unreasonable to return my despatch, and it is equally out of the question for me to accept it. I therefore have the honour to return herewith the despatch which was sent back by you, and to state, for your information, as I have done above, the contents of the despatch recently received by me from the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nI avail, &c.

Sir,\n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\n### Consul-General Fulford to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nMukden, December 22, 1906.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you that the British-American Tobacco Company's District Manager in Newchwang, Mr. Henckendorff, has complained to me that the cigarettes of the Company are being taxed in Tiehling, one of the marts in Manchuria opened to foreign trade by the Japan-China Treaty of December 1905. The Chinese agents of the Company have paid a considerable amount in this manner. In informing me of this, Mr. Henckendorff added that Japanese cigarettes were being forced to pay the same duties at Tiehling, but that they were being levied on the Chinese clients of the Japanese importers.\n\nAs nearly all the cigarettes of the British-American Tobacco Company are manufactured in Shanghae and classed and taxed there as \"native goods,\" I am in some doubt as to whether it would be correct to demand for them in Treaty ports exemption from any further taxation beyond that prescribed by the Treaty Tariff as in the case of foreign goods.\n\nI presume that ordinary native goods conveyed from one Treaty port or mart to another by foreigners for local consumption by the Chinese are not entitled to exemption from further taxation beyond that of the Treaty Tariff in the port of destination, at least when they have arrived in Chinese hands.\n\nThe question also of transit taxation on such goods between the Treaty ports connected by railway presents some difficulty. In the case of these cigarettes being sent from Shanghae to Newchwang via Chin Wang Tao, I have ascertained that, in addition to the usual coast trade duty of one and a-half times the export duty, a transit duty of half the export duty has been regularly levied to free them of li-kin along the railway. This duty is levied on the ground that they are native produce. Foreign goods are passed free under exemption certificates.\n\nI should be glad to be instructed as to the claim for exemption from taxation in Treaty marts, as the Company wishes to apply for a refund of the duties paid as above described in Tiehling.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) H. E. FULFORD.\n\n## (No. 2.) Sir,\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n#### Mr. Hosie to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nOffice of the Commercial Attaché, Shanghae, January 17, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 1 of the 3rd instant, inclosing copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Consul-General at Mukden regarding the taxation of the British-American Tobacco Company's cigarettes in Manchuria, and directing me to inquire into the whole subject of the manufacture of these cigarettes and their treatment by the Imperial Maritime Customs at this port.\n\nThe history of the customs duty on cigarettes at Shanghae dates back to the year 1892, when a small factory called the Commercial Tobacco Company was established in Hongkew and manufactured cigarettes almost entirely for local consumption. There was an insignificant export and on this the Customs levied a duty of 4 m. 5 c. per picul, classing it, as there was no heading \"Cigarettes\" in the Tariff as prepared tobacco, and subjecting it to the same amount of duty.\n\nThe Treaty of Shimonoseki of 1895 authorized Japanese subjects and, by the most-favoured-nation treatment, other foreigners to engage in all kinds of manufacturing industries in the open cities, towns, and ports of China, and many industries, including the manufacture of cigarettes on a large scale, at once began to spring up in Shanghae, and the export duty of 4 m. 5 c. per picul on cigarettes was continued until the 22nd January, 1904, when an Order (No. 601), copy of which I inclose, was posted at the custom-house giving notice that Chinese manufactures of foreign type would from that date be liable to a single 5 per cent. ad valorem duty, and thereafter be free from further taxation. No reference to an export duty on goods manufactured by Japanese in China is made in the Treaty of Shimonoseki, but Article III of the Protocol supplementary to the Japanese Treaty of Commerce and Navigation of the 21st July, 1896, lays down that \"the Government of Japan concedes the right of the Chinese Government to enforce on articles manufactured by Japanese subjects in China such a tax as may seem expedient, provided that the same tax shall not differ from or exceed the tax paid by Chinese subjects,\" and on this Article, which reads more like the imposition of an excise tax than a customs duty, is based the claim of the Imperial Maritime Customs to levy export and coast-trade duties. On receipt of your despatch now under acknowledgment I called upon Mr. Hobson, Commissioner of Customs, who informed me that the amount levied on the cigarettes was the duty on local machine-made goods, and that he would look into the matter and give me details later. The same day he forwarded to me a Memorandum, copy of which I inclose.\n\nAt the time that Customs Order No. 601 was issued the British-American Tobacco Company's factory was undergoing reconstruction, and it was not until July of 1904 that the Company was again prepared to export cigarettes. It then found that the 5 per cent. duty was in force and had to be paid. Against this the Company vigorously protested, and a lengthy but fruitless correspondence took place between its Director and the Commissioner of Customs. The former thereupon forwarded copies of all the correspondence to His Majesty's Consul-General, who referred the matter to the Legation. The case was laid by Sir Ernest Satow before the Wai-wu Pu, and I inclose copy of Prince Ching's final reply of the 26th December, 1904, agreeing to the former's contention that duty should continue to be paid on the cigarettes at the rate of 4 m. 5 c. per picul, but while agreeing the Prince stated that \"the rule applicable to native products must be applied, that if, after payment of export duty, there is a re-entry into another port, coast-trade duty must be paid, and, if there is a further conveyance into the interior, customs dues must be paid at customs stations, and li-kin at li-kin stations.\" I inclose a copy of a letter from the British-American Tobacco Company accepting the above conditions. I take these conditions to mean that when the cigarettes have paid coast trade duty in a port—and coast trade duty is payable only once, however many ports are visited—en route to destination, they are not liable to any further taxation whatsoever in that port. After leaving the port they would of course be subject to such taxes as are legitimately leviable in the interior.\n\nMr. Fulford, in the third paragraph of his despatch, presumes that \"ordinary native goods conveyed from one Treaty port or mart to another by foreigners, for local consumption by the Chinese, are not entitled to exemption from further taxation beyond that of the Treaty Tariff, in the port of destination, at least when they have arrived in Chinese hands\"; but goods manufactured by foreigners in the open ports of China are not ordinary native goods, and the Treaty of Shimonoseki distinctly provides that such manufactured goods shall be treated as regards inland taxation on the same footing as foreign imports. The second paragraph of section 4 of Article VI of that Treaty lays down that \"All articles manufactured by Japanese subjects in China shall, in respect of inland transit and internal taxes, duties, charges, and exactions of all kinds, and also in respect of warehousing and storage facilities in the interior of China, stand upon the same footing and enjoy the same privileges and exemptions as merchandize imported by Japanese subjects into China.\" Foreign goods, no matter whether in the hands of foreigners or Chinese, are exempt from taxation in a port after payment of Tariff import duty, and the above section of the Shimonoseki Treaty places goods manufactured by foreigners in the open ports of China on the same footing. The framers of the Shimonoseki Treaty do not appear to have contemplated that goods manufactured by foreigners in China would be, as they are, exported to foreign countries and other Chinese ports; but when, in the latter case, they have satisfied the Imperial Maritime Customs by payment of export and coast trade duty, they should be exempt from further taxation in the port of such final duty payment, whether it is a sea, river, or inland port, and if inland and the goods have to be conveyed to it from another port by rail, there should be no railway transit taxes, for it may be taken for granted that the Chinese authorities are quite capable of exercising control over goods unloaded at stations between ports.\n\nI may add that I visited the factory of the British Cigarette Company in November last where cigarettes of pure American leaf were being turned out at the rate of 8,000,000 a day; that no suitable blend of American and Chinese tobaccos...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411787, "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": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 287, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# Consul-Général Report\n\n## Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation Letter\n\n**Les Directeurs**\n\nDe plus, notre Compagnie n'est nullement subventionnée par le Gouvernement Français, ainsi que vous le savez, mais par le Gouvernement-Général de l'Indo-Chine; la subvention qu'elle touche est très faible si on la compare à celle que touche la Compagnie Japonaise, et elle peut être considérée comme une simple rémunération des charges onéreuses qu'elle entraîne et a entraînées : réduction de tarifs pour les fonctionnaires, obligation de construire les navires en France, &c., détails qui sont certainement inconnus à Mr. E. C. Werner.\n\nCe prétexte n'est donc pas défendable, et il faut arriver au second paragraphe que nous venons de citer et qui a, lui au moins, le mérite de la sincérité.\n\nIl est, croyons-nous, sans précédent qu'une Municipalité, voire même un Parlement, prenne des mesures aussi coercitives dirigées exclusivement contre une personne ou une Compagnie déterminée, et nous croyons pouvoir dire que l'exagération de la malveillance dont est animé, à l'égard de la Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation, le Consul d'Angleterre à Kiukiang, l'amène à provoquer ou à ratifier des décisions de son Conseil Municipal qui confinent au ridicule.\n\nEn d'autres pays Anglais où la concurrence entre Compagnies Anglaises et entre Compagnies Françaises subventionnées est non moins âpre qu'elle ne l'est dans le Yang-tsé, jamais une pareille mesure d'ostracisme n'a été, nous ne dirons pas \"prise,\" mais simplement \"conçue,\" par un fonctionnaire Britannique; et nous ne sachions pas que l'accostage des navires de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, par exemple, ait été jamais interdit à Singapore ou dans tel autre port Anglais, bien que les intérêts en jeu soient infiniment plus importants qu'ils ne peuvent l'être à Kiukiang.\n\nDans la lettre que nous a adressée Mr. E. C. Werner il est dit que c'est \"en vue de mettre à exécution les désirs des contribuables que le Conseil Municipal, dont il est le Président, a rédigé une clause suivant laquelle les navires de notre Compagnie seraient absolument exclus.\" Nous sommes en mesure de démontrer qu'il n'en est rien.\n\nEn effet, dans le compte rendu de l'assemblée des contribuables de Kiukiang tenue le 30 Janvier, qui a été publié dans le \"Shanghae Mercury\" du 4 Février suivant, il est dit :-\n\n\"A cette réunion un total de vingt-huit votes était représentés, desquels le représentant de Robert Anderson and Company, Dr. F. S. D. Clindenning, en détenait quinze, les pouvoirs des Missions Catholiques et des maisons Russes étant en sa possession, comme d'habitude.\"\n\nNous avons donc écrit à M. Ferrand à Kiukiang pour le prier de nous faire connaître s'il connaissait l'emploi qui avait été fait par son fondé de pouvoirs des six voix appartenant à la Mission. M. Ferrand nous répondit à la date du 24 Février dernier, en nous communiquant une lettre de même date que venait de lui adresser Dr. Clindenning.\n\nNous détachons de cette lettre de Dr. Clindenning, dont l'original est toujours en notre possession, les passages suivants, et nous insistons sur ce point que l'écrivain de cette lettre, qui détenait quinze votes sur vingt-huit à l'assemblée des contribuables, représentait, à lui seul, la majorité.\n\nDr. Clindenning écrit donc que si le frontage en question a été alloué à la Compagnie Japonaise, c'est simplement parce que cette Compagnie était la seule à formuler une demande, et il ajoute :-\n\n(Traduction littérale) \"Si Mr. Racine avait fait une demande pour le droit exclusif au frontage, les six votes de la Mission auraient certainement été placés en sa faveur et, très probablement tous les autres votes, étant donné que beaucoup de nous ici préférerions voir flotter le pavillon Français devant notre Concession que pavillon Japonais.\"\n\nEt plus loin Dr. Clindenning ajoute :-\n\n\"La question de permettre aux différentes Compagnies de sous-louer leurs bulks a été définitivement réglée par le Consul, et non pas par les contribuables.\"\n\nIl nous reste à dire maintenant pourquoi nous continuons à accoster au hulk de la Compagnie Japonaise à Kiukiang, malgré l'avis qui nous a été donné par la dite Compagnie Japonaise le 7 Février d'avoir à ne plus accoster à partir du 10 Février, c'est-à-dire trois jours après.\n\nNous continuons à accoster parce que nous avons passé, avec la Compagnie Japonaise, un Accord, suivant lequel nous utiliserons en commun le hulk de Kiukiang pour les navires de nos deux Compagnies, et qu'il est expressément convenu que cet Accord ne peut être rompu que par un préavis de six mois.\n\nCet Accord a été passé sur l'autorisation qui en a été donnée à la Compagnie Japonaise par Mr. E. C. Werner lui-même, par sa lettre du 27 Août, 1906, lettre dont nous vous avons remis copie il y a quelques jours.\n\nSur la foi de notre Accord avec la Compagnie Japonaise, reconnu par le Consul Anglais à Kiukiang, nous avons pris des engagements multiples avec nos agents, avec des chargeurs, avec nos compradores de navires au sujet des passagers, &c.; et il nous est matériellement impossible, sous peine d'un préjudice incalculable, de ne pas tenir ces engagements. D'autre part, toute personne raisonnable comprendra qu'il n'est au pouvoir d'aucune Compagnie de navigation d'improviser en trois jours une installation complète comme celle qui est indispensable à ces bateaux de rivière pour le chargement et le déchargement des marchandises et des passagers à quai-toute autre solution entraînant un transbordement du navire à la rive étant ruineuse pour une Compagnie de navigation.\n\nMr. E. C. Werner nous a mis sciemment dans une situation impossible, il obéit simplement à des sentiments injustifiés d'inimitié pour notre Compagnie Française, et c'est tout. Nous n'attendons plus rien de lui, mais nous conservons confiance dans l'esprit d'équité de M. le Ministre d'Angleterre à Pékin que la mesure inique qui a été prise par son Consul ne soit pas ratifiée.\n\nNous vous serions reconnaissants, M. le Consul-Général, de vouloir bien saisir d'urgence M. le Ministre de France à Pékin de la situation présente de cette affaire, et avec tous nos remerciements anticipés, nous vous prions d'agréer, &c.\n\n**Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation,**\n\n(Signé) **Les Directeurs**\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### Consul Werner to Sir J. Jordan\n\n**(No. 7.)**\n\nSir,\n\nKiukiang, April 3, 1907.\n\nWITH reference to previous correspondence and to your telegram No. 6 of the 13th ultimo, I have the honour to report that the Municipal Council has now adopted the form of Bund frontage licence in use in Hankow, the only alterations being the insertion of some words prohibiting the placing of ropes, chains, or other impediments in such a manner as to obstruct the approach to the unleased portion of Bund frontage where the public steps and jetty are to be erected.\n\n| Details | Description |\n|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Tonnage due | half a candareen per ton on French steamers admitted to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's hulk under the licence granted to that Company |\n| Revenue | about 1,200 taels per annum |\n\nThe Council has decided to levy a tonnage due of half a candareen per ton on French steamers admitted to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's hulk under the licence granted to that Company. This will produce an addition to the municipal revenue of about 1,200 taels per annum, but the Council, being in affluent circumstances, would have preferred any gain from the new system of licensing to accrue in favour of the British Steam-ship Companies in their keen competition with their foreign rivals. The subsidy granted to the French Company by the French Government enables that Company to carry passengers and cargo at a lower rate than the British Companies can do. A very effective check would have been put upon this subsidy-favoured competition by making the French steamers anchor in the river, since in a small port of call facility in boarding and loading a steamer which aims at travelling between Shanghae and Hankow in a shorter time than other steamers enables it to obtain passengers and cargo which would not be shipped by steamers having no hulk accommodation. Whilst the obligation to anchor in the river would have very largely counteracted the advantages which the Government subsidy gives to the French steamers, the additional advantage of access to the Japanese frontage now enables them to make a very serious inroad upon the freight and passenger business of the British Companies.\n\nOn the 1st ultimo I received from Messrs. Racine, Ackermann, and Co., agents in Shanghae of the \"Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation,\" a letter containing an offer to pay for use of the frontage a similar sum to that paid by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha.\n\nPage 236", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412071, "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": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 571, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## 6 is to use taxation as a prohibitory measure. If the price were to be doubled suddenly it would not be the loss of market that would be feared, but encroachments upon the market by the clandestine sale of prepared drug. Formerly at Hsuchou and Haichou, in Kiangpei, there were many who clandestinely sold prepared opium. If in one day the price of opium were suddenly doubled the profit to be made would be immense, and licensed opium would be driven out of the market by illicit sale, and this would, it is to be feared, militate against the suppression of opium smoking.\n\nYour new scheme of increasing the price by one-tenth per annum is quite consistent with the idea of the suppression of opium by degrees, and it is the duty of the Anti-Opium Bureau to check sales and collect the tax. An amount of the resulting income to be determined on should be handed over in lieu of the original tax on prepared opium, and the rest should be utilized for the expenses of the anti-opium movement.\n\nAs to the expedient regarding the opium shops, this is a measure in consideration of the poor; and of the prepared opium shops, few are to be found which do not provide facilities for smoking on the premises, or which confine their business to the sale of prepared opium. These are to be licensed as retail dealers in prepared opium. The names and addresses of the proprietors of the shops are first to be collected, and these must be made to give a bond not to allow smoking on the premises, and must obtain reciprocal security from others of the same trade. When licensed and registered on the official list they are to be allowed to carry on business. From that time forward shops may be closed, but no new shops opened, and fraudulent assumption of names and transfer of ownership, and other frauds of this character, will be strictly dealt with.\n\nThe original scheme as now amended by you is hereby indorsed as approved, and should be put into operation.\n\nThe various measures which have been submitted to me, with my revisions, should be embodied in the form of a Circular Report, and sent to all the higher authorities.\n\n\"Hsin Wen Pao\" of the 5th April:\n\nChu Taotai, head of the Li-kin farm at Soochow, and the officials of the head Li-kin Office at Shanghae, after discussion some days ago, requested the Governor to authorize a Regulation that private individuals purchasing raw opium should pay an increase of the price of 30 cash per ounce. The Governor decided yesterday that as the newly-established bureau for the control and taxation of prepared opium had instituted the measure of raising the price, the old practice of collecting opium duty by \"farming\" should be abolished, and he instructed his subordinates accordingly.\n\n## 3. Attitude of Officials and Movement in the Official Circles\n\n\"Shen Pao,\" of the 15th May:\n\nThe anti-opium movement is being actively carried out at Soochow, but at Nanking there is no sign of activity. This is said to be due to the tastes of his Excellency (probably the Provincial Treasurer). It is impossible to expect instant obedience to the orders against smoking. We hear that the Viceroy has decided upon a new Regulation, that, whether substantive or expectant, all officials shall be guaranteed by two others, and should any subterfuge be discovered all three will have to resign. In this wise every one will have to look after his own position, and there cannot be any secret aiding and abetting from motives of friendship.\n\n\"Chung Wai Jih Pao,\" of the 17th March:\n\nThe expectant officials in Soochow city are being carefully watched for opium smoking and have already given bonds, details regarding which have been embodied in a report to the Governor. It is now said that, as Governor Ch'en finds that as the bonds detailed in the report are mainly those of officials stationed in Soochow, and that as there are many detailed on special service who have been omitted, he has given orders that Lu Taotai and others, who are in charge of the investigation, shall make a fresh report, and should there be any officials who have been omitted from the previous one, they must be included forthwith and made to give a definite undertaking to be handed in within a given date. No delay or evasion can be permitted. This must not be disregarded.\n\n\"Shen Pao,\" of the 4th April:\n\nYang, Commandant of the Soochow Active Regulars, discovered that his second local regiment is full of opium smokers, and that the artillery is in a worse state, so gave orders to the officers of his regiment that they were to enforce the cessation of opium smoking among the men within a fortnight. At the expiration of this time the troops must be paraded at head-quarters for inspection by the Commandant. Should any of them try to conceal the fact that they are addicted to the habit, they will be at once struck off the list. The officers have communicated this to the men, and have ordered them to obey.\n\nThe \"Shih Pao,\" of the 8th April, says:\n\nGives an item of news which has excited interest among the Chinese in Shanghae, and although it cannot be said to pertain to the district under notice, yet it may be of sufficient significance as to warrant its inclusion in this Report. The \"Shih Pao\" Chekiang officials are being carefully watched for opium smoking. A register of the opium smoking officials has been drawn up, and a report been made concerning them, and six months has been the time limit laid down for their cessation of opium smoking. No pretexts will be admitted or concealment allowed, and any who break the rule will be impeached. Clerks in yamêns must also observe this time limit. Hsin, Provincial Treasurer, has discovered that the keeper of the Provincial Treasures, Pi Ting, is an opium smoker, and although he had promised to give up smoking, he was ordered to leave his post and to wait till he had got over his craving, which fact was to be certified by a foreign doctor; he will then be allowed to return. His duties will be attended to by Chin Pin San, Secretary of Records, in addition to his own. The Treasurer hopes that all officials will take heed of this example made of an officer of his own yamên. Officials, whether substantive or deputies, who have the opium habit, will all be granted furlough to cure themselves. The Treasurer is actively carrying out the idea of the prohibitory edict.\n\n\"Hsin Wen Pao,\" of the 17th April:\n\nThe Governor considered that Lu, Proctor of the Bureau for Control and Taxation of Prepared Opium, was not discharging his duties satisfactorily and cashiered him, appointing Teng, a Prefect, to replace him. The latter assumed his duties on the 15th April.\n\nLiu Kuo Shun, Superintendent of the Central Anti-Opium Bureau, finds many difficulties in the way of the proper discharge of his duties, and on the 15th April went to tender his resignation to the Governor. His resignation was not accepted. (He is said to be indignant at the cashiering of Proctor Lu.)\n\n## 4. New Bureaux, &c.\n\n(a.) Bureau for Control and Taxation of Prepared Opium.\n\n(b.) Prohibition Anti-Opium Bureau.\n\n(c.) Bureau for the Surveillance of Opium Smokers. (See also above.)\n\nThere would seem to be little difference in the methods or personnel of the three Bureaux—in fact, the names may probably be correctly regarded as synonymous.\n\n\"Chung Wai Jih Pao,\" of the 17th March:\n\nIt has been reported to the Governor that the Bureau for the Surveillance of Opium Smoking is now in operation.\n\nNow that the Bureau for the Surveillance of Opium Smoking is established, Liu Tuotai, who is in charge, is anxious to secure the co-operation of the Anti-Opium Society of the gentry, to enable a strict control to be kept over the opium dealers. He has been in treaty with this Society for some time without attaining any definite conclusion, and much time has been wasted, and active operations have been commenced. We hear that Liu Taotai has had repeated instructions from the Governor pressing for action. Satisfactory arrangements have now been made, and the Bureau commenced operations some days ago.\n\nPage 509", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412073, "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": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 573, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## 10\n\ntwo years, that they may look about in the meantime for some other profession. If the Governor should grant this request they will guarantee the sum expected to be raised by the increase of price; should he not, they will all close on their own initiative at once. The remarks: \"We imagine that every sound official will welcome this strike of paper opium shops.\" \n\n\"Shen Pao,\" of the 12th April: \n\nAs the date for increasing the price of opium draws near, the Soochow opium shops are uniting in a general closing of their shops as a measure of protest. Chi, a District Magistrate, in conjunction with the Chon Wen Magistrate, after discussion, drew up a petition to the Provincial Judge, who replied to the effect that he was doing his best to suppress opium, and the closing of the shops must come sooner or later, and it will be an excellent thing if they strike now and close at once. If the opium dens do not like the anti-opium movement, they can do something else. \n\n\"Hsin Wen Pao,\" of the 15th April: \n\nOn the 12th April, the keepers of the various opium dens in Soochow held a meeting. There were 1,900 present, and each agreed to contribute 10 cents towards legal expenses. The local police, the proctors, and District Magistrates tried to pacify them, but there were so many of them that they could not handle them. Their complaint was that the period fixed for compulsory closure was too short, and that they ought to be allowed some years in which to prepare. They had the intention to collect and make a demonstration before the Governor, but the Provincial Judge, fearing a disturbance, directed all his subordinates to take precautions during the night to stop any demonstration. Eventually, one Lang, head of the Soochow Guild of Opium Shops, was arrested, but the head of the Canton Guild escaped. The rest of them were told that if they wanted anything, they were to petition the District Magistrate in the ordinary way, and not to go to the Governor. Liù Taotai, head of the Anti-Opium Bureau, and the three District Magistrates have been in consultation, but have come to no practical solution of this difficulty. One Teng, a Prefect, has gone round the shops arguing with them, and it has been arranged to increase the price of opium only 40 cash per ounce instead of 50, and all dens have to erect counters, and at the end of six months, these dens, which have hitherto been simply for opium smoking, will become retail opium shops. Many have been to the District Magistrate's yamên asking to be allowed to go bail for Lang, the man arrested, if he may be released, and Chang, the District Magistrate, has agreed to his being temporarily let out on bail; but if the opium-den keepers do not pay the extra price promised by the 17th April, he must go back to prison and be punished. The proposal to reduce the increase by 10 cash per ounce, making an addition to the market value of 40 cash instead of 50, is said to be sanctioned. \n\n\"Hsin Wen Pao,\" of the 19th April: \n\nThe Anti-Opium Bureau and the three District Magistrates have summoned the Tipaos, ordering them to see that all the opium dens in their respective wards do not make any disturbances or resist the increase of price of the retailed opium, or else the Tipaos would have to bear the consequences. The Tipaos went to all the opium dens and impressed upon them that they would have to pay this 40 cash per ounce, to which the opium dens assented. The Anti-Opium Bureau has not yet issued any Proclamation, nor have the dens yet handed in their licences for cancellation and exchange. Lang is said to be still in custody. \n\n\"Shen Pao,\" of the 13th April: \n\nThe date fixed by the Anti-Opium Regulations for the closure of opium dens is the beginning of the sixth month, and no new ones may be opened. The Shanghae Taotai has issued orders to the police, ordering them to watch that this is obeyed. One Ch'en Ching-pao opened a den in the Shih-tu ward, north of the Sinza Bridge, and the deputy in charge of the police there ordered him to close. He did not obey, on the grounds that one Kung had done the same. This was found to be untrue, and the District Magistrate gave orders that he was to be severely punished.\n\n## 11\n\n### 7. Anti-Opium Medicines\n\n\"Hsin Wen Pao,\" of the 22nd March: \n\nThe Central Anti-Opium Society in Soochow, fearing that the anti-opium pills on the market contained morphia and were calculated to do harm, are daily distributing between 9 and 10 A.M. pills made after the prescription of Lin Wen Chuna, and also *lang* grass. \n\nIt was decided at a meeting recently held to at once establish a hospital for those leaving off opium smoking. Over twenty *chien* opposite the club have been leased for this purpose. The hospital will contain wards for first, second, and third-class patients, with Chinese and foreign medical men in attendance. Patients with any resolution will lose the craving within seven days, and it is guaranteed that no bad effects will be felt. Patients will be treated gratis. At present, the premises are under repair, and when this is complete, the hospital will be opened. \n\n### 8. Effect on Foreign Opium\n\nMessrs. E. W. Sassoon and Co. communicate the following: \n\n\"With regard to the trade in Indian opium in Shanghae, during the past month, prices have been pretty well maintained throughout the interval in all classes of opium, with some unimportant fluctuations now and then as the result of variations in exchange, or other minor causes. Deliveries during the latter part of March have again been abnormal, but have since receded, and are now normal again. Bengal opium (which forms the greater part of Indian opium) is under Government control, but Malwa is not.” \n\nPage 571", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412161, "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": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 661, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# \n\n2 \n\nthe Japanese Consul and the Hankow Taotai on the 9th May, and by the Viceroy's Secretary Chan on the 11th May.\n\nMr. Midzuno, who has just returned from Japan, told me that he had practically arranged his Concession extension, though want of money would delay its development. He next inquired whether the Viceroy had definitely engaged an English engineer for the Hunan section of the Hankow-Canton Railway; said Mr. Haraguchi did not like and the post of Adviser, and had only with reluctance agreed to stay for one year more; finally commented on his Excellency Chang's extreme financial embarrassment.\n\nI replied that there were two British engineers ready to negotiate with the Viceroy, who would, of course, see that of the whole number of engineers employed one half were British, the other half Japanese. It was a pity that the Board prevented his Excellency's raising a loan for railway construction at this favourable juncture.\n\nMy colleague then explained with some hesitation that Mr. Odagiri, on behalf of the Yokohama Specie Bank, had suggested the Viceroy's borrowing for industrial purposes, and so obtaining the funds requisite for railway purposes. The Japanese Bank had no hope of obtaining any considerable sum by selling bonds in Tôkiô, but expected to raise money easily in London if Parr's Bank and the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation would co-operate. The floating of the loan simultaneously in the two British banks and the London branch of the Yokohama Specie Bank had insisted on a formal Chinese Government guarantee, and wanted special revenues to be indicated and deposited in a foreign bank as collected. He hoped if I were applied to, as would probably be the case, I would explain that a Decree and the Board of Reorganization's guarantee should quite suffice.\n\nI replied that I did not like the proposal to get money indirectly for railways by an \"industrial loan.\" The issue of an Imperial Decree was essential for any loan, but if that Decree were issued under a misapprehension caused by the wilful concealment of facts known to the lenders, China might, on learning the truth, justly repudiate its guarantee, while the Viceroy assuredly ran a grave risk by thus hoodwinking the Throne. The guarantees proposed seemed adequate, but I thought a combined effort by those interested should be made to enable the true purpose of the loan to be published.\n\nMr. Midzuno seemed impressed, but repeated that any way was better than letting the railways remain unbuilt. Supposing the two British banks agreed to join the Japanese bank in floating the loan, were the financiers of any other nation in a position that entitled them to intervene? He asked because he understood that the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation had recently renewed with the \"Deutsch-Asiatische Bank\" some compact for the partition of loans in China. Remembering the recent independent action of the German bank here, I told him that, as far as I was aware, there was no agreement that would justify a German demand to participate; but that, in view of the relations between our Syndicate and certain French financiers, I personally believed the British banks would desire to inform those French financiers and to offer them a share in the business proposed.\n\nTo that Mr. Midzuno thought his bank would have no objection.\n\nI was free, however, to communicate it to you. At the same time, as he had not reported the matter to his Minister, he hoped that, should you talk to Mr. Hayashi on the subject, you would not reveal that he was my informant.\n\nI replied that I should, of course, acquaint you with the conversation, and include his request in my report.\n\nMr. Midzuno did not inquire whether I had any previous acquaintance with the matter, and I did not feel called upon to volunteer any information.\n\nThe same afternoon the Hankow Taotai, Sang, when calling upon his restoration to health after three months' illness, asked me what I thought of the scheme of an industrial loan.\n\nI repeated to him what seemed to me the manifest and serious objections to such a disingenuous step. He assented, and hoped that the Viceroy might now try again to secure the support of the Board to a Railway Loan. The Board's support, provided the Loan conditions were fair, should be enough, despite outside opposition. Would it be necessary to pledge the line itself, as that would be sure to raise clamour?\n\nI reminded him that in 1905 our Syndicate had thought the li-kin revenue would form a sufficient security, provided the loan had the Imperial sanction. My own idea was that the Board of Reorganization's guarantee to supply from provincial revenues the instalments of interest and principal should be the first security; that the engineering and financial control should also be satisfactorily provided for, and that, in order to assure the confidence of the bondholders, there should be an undertaking that, in case any instalment became overdue by a certain period, the working of the line should pass to the lenders until the outstanding item was paid off and future payments secured. In this way the railways would never pass out of Chinese control except by China's own default. As he knew, we never inquired, so long as loan payments were made on due date, from what source the money was obtained.\n\nMr. Sang thought such a proposal was most fair, and would try to induce his Excellency Chang to choose this straightforward procedure. At the same time there were public and industrial works in Hupei that needed money. Could a loan be obtained for such purposes?\n\nI opined that such a loan might be raised, provided the particular undertakings were specified, though railways were the most popular enterprise with bondholders; but it would be a pity to charge Hupei and China's credit for such a comparatively small purpose. Possibly a loan to include such works might be feasible.\n\nOn the 19th instant Mr. Chan also asked about the prospect of an Anglo-Japanese loan.\n\nI held to him much the same language as to Mr. Sang, but added that he must know that the Japanese Bank could not itself find any such sum as 3,000,000.\n\nFrom Mr. Midzuno's questions, I am inclined to suspect that Mr. Odagiri, failing the co-operation of the British banks, may seek German assistance. Neither to him nor to the Chinese officials did it seem prudent to point out that, once the object of the loan was revealed, the claim of the Yokohama Specie Bank to consideration as first to come forward to the Viceroy's aid falls to the ground, since our efforts date from the autumn of 1905, and that in case his Excellency adopted the industrial loan expedient the British authorities would be likely to resent being defrauded of their promised first option of lending for railway construction in his Excellency's provinces.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nE.

As regards the first, the struggle has begun, as it has been reported from Kai-hsien that the mob had raided and destroyed the recently-established opium hongs in that city, while from various small towns in the Chengtu Plain news comes of riots directed against these unpopular establishments. The poppy has been harvested in most places, and the new season's opium is now being placed on the market. There are rumours that the authorities, in face of the growing opposition to the new tax, are endeavouring to obtain the permission of the Central Government to revert to the old system. These rumours were confirmed in conversation between the Taotai of Chunking and the Acting British Consul at that port. On the other hand, a Proclamation by the Provincial Director of opium taxation, which must have been issued shortly before or even after the conversation above referred to, reiterates the Government's intention to proceed with the new tax of 115 taels per picul on all opium, whether for export or local consumption, and warns the people of the consequences their refusal to pay the tax will entail. A reversion to the old rate will have the effect of cheapening the drug for local consumers, and it is difficult to see how the Chinese Government can sanction such a retrograde step.\n\nAs regards the second point, a Proclamation was issued by the Viceroy on the 31st May indicating that the opium divans would be closed on the 9th August, and that the preparation and sale of opium would be a Government monopoly. In Chengtu, with the assistance of an efficient police, it is possible they may succeed, though not without some resistance being offered; but in the provinces, more particularly in the opium producing centres east and south of Chunking, the issue seems very doubtful, and will depend entirely on the power of the local officials to enforce their orders.\n\nThe Acting Viceroy subsequently informed His Majesty's Consul-General that, realizing what a serious, possibly fatal, matter the closing of all opium divans and shops on the 9th August would be for the poorer classes of opium smokers, he had ordered arrangements to be made for the opening of official opium shops where prepared opium and opium requisites would be sold in small quantities to all registered smokers. His Excellency said that the people objected to this method of suppressing the use of opium because it deprived the poor of their pipe by making the price prohibitive, and made opium smoking a luxury of the rich.\n\n## Reports from missionaries in the Province of Szechuan are as follows:\n\n| Location | Report |\n|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Pao Ning-fu | New Proclamation ordering opium divans to be closed on the 9th August. Opium smokers to be registered. The people are reported to be callous. |\n| Mien Chu Hsien | Opium dens are ordered to be closed by the 9th August (end of 6th moon), no tax to be collected on opium dens after 3rd moon. A Proclamation exhorting people to abandon opium cultivation was issued by the Magistrate last autumn. Only about 1 per cent. of ground is under cultivation this spring. People are sympathetic, and some \"mildly enthusiastic.\" |\n| Nan Pu-Hsien | Proclamation posted containing usual orders re closing of opium divans. No official steps taken to reduce area under cultivation, but many farmers have voluntarily destroyed crops, fearing reduced demand this year. Marked increase in number of persons applying for opium remedies at Mission dispensary. |\n| Yung Hsien | Proclamation against poppy growing issued by Magistrate last year. Great reduction of area under cultivation noticeable this year. Officials sympathetic, and people enthusiastic. |\n| Hsin Tien Tzu | Proclamation posted, but no definite measures taken to restrict sale of opium. Not an opium growing district. |\n| Kuan Hsien | Imperial (anti-opium) Decree posted in January 1907. Register of smokers and non-smokers opened in Magistrate's yamên, the former given a limit in which to abandon habit on pain of dismissal. Attitude of officials and gentry favourable; small area under cultivation; opium dens to be closed at end of 6th moon (9th August). |\n| Tan Lan Hsien | Opium divans closed by Magistrate's orders (25th May, 1907). |\n\n## Chungking\n\nMissionary reports received from the Consular district are not encouraging. A general review of them gives the impression that the local officials are waiting for more precise and detailed instructions as to the methods by which they are to carry out the Edict, being themselves unwilling to take the responsibility for a course of action calculated to rouse violent popular opposition. One measure alone will in all probability be enforced, i.e., the closing of all opium dens in the 6th moon, but disturbances are almost certain to arise when the frequenters of opium dens are thrown upon their own resources. In the meantime the officials are for the most part content to fill in the time trifling with more or less innocuous anti-opium medicines.\n\nAt Suifu and Chiangan, there has been little done except in the medicine line. At Suifu an attempt has been made to register smokers, and at Chiangan there is talk of opening official depôts for the sale of opium.\n\n## Kueichou Province\n\nThe same conditions prevail here as in Szechuan.\n\n## Hankow\n\nHis Majesty's Consul-General, in summarizing further reports received from missionaries stationed in Honan, Hupei, Hunan, Kansu, and Shensi, states that \"the reports from Honan (three in number) state that Proclamations were issued and dates given for closing the dens, but that no official action has since been taken. The Governor is reported to have broken off the habit, but otherwise absolute indifference seems to mark the attitude of officials and gentry alike. The ground in the vicinity of the provincial capital is too poor to produce poppy, and although no new ground has been planted with poppy in the other districts under consideration, the general impression seems to be that the failure to plant is dictated by a feeling of uncertainty, owing to the undecisive nature of the official warning, rather than by any desire to obey the Edict. In Ching Tze Kuan, however, two-thirds of the old poppy ground was planted with wheat this year.\n\nThe replies to queries 4, 5, and 6 (respecting restrictions on smokers, closing of opium dens or shops, inspection of opium dens) are uniformly negative, while answers to query 7 (respecting use of medicines to cure habit) furnish no more satisfactory statement than that a few poor have been relieved by the aid of the missions. The replies on which this despatch is based, with very few exceptions, offer little variety—\"none,\" \"nothing,\" \"nothing at all,\" and \"indifference\" appearing most frequently although in some cases it is apparent, in spite of all the optimistic writer is endeavouring to persuade himself, that something \"may\" be done in the future.\n\n### Hupei (two Reports)\n\nProclamations issued only in Hu-cheng hsien, where one inspection was held, an official register of the opium dens (forty-nine in all) made, and a limit of six months given for closing. Mr. Sibley adds that the Ku-ch'eng Magistrate pulled up all his own crop, but minimizes the apparent virtue of this action by stating that he did so guided by a hope that money might be made out of supporting the prohibition. Beyond this action of the Magistrate nothing has been done, although it is said that the gentry have tried to break off the habit.\n\nIn Ku-ch'eng the poppy is not sufficiently cultivated for any observations under query 3, and it is stated that in Chun-chou and Yun-yang 70 to 80 per cent. of the land is under poppy, and that there is an increase in ground planted. An emphatic negative or absolute silence marks all the answers to the next three queries, i.e., respecting restrictions on smokers, closing of and inspecting of shops or dens. Regarding the use of medicines to cure the habit, the only cure offered in the majority of cases is a pill containing either morphia or opium; but Mr. Sibley states that merchants and missionaries are selling a medicine put up at Shanghae, and adds that thousands will use the Indian anti-opium medicines if it proves a success.\n\n### Hunan\n\nYuan-chou Fu and Chih-chiang hsien. It appears from this report that the steps taken in these districts have been more genuine than those taken elsewhere. On the 23rd May the Governor issued a Proclamation referring to the \"Ten Articles,\" and detailing measures to be taken by the officials, touching also in a general way on the closing of dens, &c. December is fixed as the date for closing, and the sale is to be restricted if possible to one licensed shop; moreover, refuges are to be opened in which assistance can be got by those wishing to get cured.\n\nPage 286", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412470, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 230, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## 207\n\n4\n\nThe Colonel had already in January, on information contained through the local press, given his soldiers three months in which to break off the habit, and had dismissed those who failed to do so; local opinion is generally in favour of the prohibition. The Magistrate, a heavy smoker, has given up the use of opium, and others are following his example. Mr. Witt, however, does not consider that any remarkable movement has as yet started, and mentions the fact that some are buying ahead for the time when the sale will be definitely forbidden. No measures have as yet been taken to restrict the cultivation of poppy, and 10 per cent. of the land is said to be used for its growth. The invariable reply in the negative as to the restrictions on smokers is again given, but all dens are to be closed by the end of June. As far as medicines are concerned, pills containing opium are used, and also a plant found in the hills.\n\n## Kansu (three Reports)\n\nThe \"Ten Articles\" were posted in Chin Chou on the 10th May, and no further action was taken; the publication caused a little talk for a few days, but nothing was done, as officials were awaiting more stringent orders from Peking. In Ping-liang and Ch'in Chou there is an increase in the area planted; an official at the latter place exhorted the people by proclamation \"to plant for all they were worth,\" the result being that five times the usual amount was sown. Nothing has been done to restrict smokers, but Mr. Harding makes the significant remark that the increase in the price of opium has caused people to take to drink. At Ku-kiang the `pao Kuei` tax has been removed and more opium has been sold than ever, whereas an increase in the same tax at Ch'in Chou has caused shops to close. Excepting the above statement, queries 5 and 6 are answered in the negative. A Proclamation was issued at Ch'in Chou telling the people of a herb for a cure, and giving an illustration of it, but beyond that nothing further has been done.\n\n## Shensi (three Reports)\n\nAt Wukung in November of last year a Proclamation was issued containing a general exhortation against planting, and in January of this year the \"Ten Articles\" were published. The Decree was also published in Lan-tien, and the Magistrate sent out a preacher to exhort the people to give up the habit, smokers also being forbidden to teach in the schools. The Decree was published in Li-chuan on the 29th May. The attitude of the gentry is generally described as indifferent, and as far as cultivation is concerned an increase is reported from Wukung. The remaining queries are all answered negatively with the exception of the mention of a few missionary efforts to cure the people by the use of medicine supplied by the Missions.\n\n## Ichung\n\nHis Majesty's Consul reported on the 1st July that, so far as he could ascertain, no steps had up to that date been taken to enforce the Opium Regulations in the Ichang district.\n\n## Kashgar\n\nMr. Macartney reported at the end of April, \"The Chinese orders prohibiting the use of opium have so far had no effect on the Chinese population of Yarkand, Karghalik, Goma, and Khotan. Indeed, most of the Chinese seem to be ignorant of the existence of the order.\"\n\n## Kiukiang\n\nA missionary in the Kiukiang Consular district reports from I-yang, a district in which practically no land is devoted to the cultivation of the poppy, that nothing has yet been done to restrict smokers nor to inspect opium shops. No Proclamations had been issued up to May, but a new Mandarin had arrived who was said to be preparing one. No official action had been taken in pursuance of the Imperial Regulations, nor had the local officials and gentry set any example in giving up the habit. Medicines had been ordered from Nanchang, but none had as yet arrived.\n\nFurther missionary reports are to the same effect, though in the Kian prefecture one missionary stated on the 14th June that a Proclamation was about to be issued, the gist of which was to be to the effect that all opium dens must be closed by the 8th August, and that no opium is to be retailed in inns or restaurants after that date.\n\nStill further missionary reports state that practically nothing whatever is being done to enforce the Imperial Regulations, though it is thought that in August something may be begun.\n\n5\n\n## Mongolia\n\nA missionary with an area of observation of about 800 English square miles reports from Kwei-hua-cheng that more land is devoted to poppy cultivation this year than last. The Tartar General has issued a strict Proclamation to the Mongols against the use of opium, and it is said that they have obeyed the command, but the Chinese still continue to sow, to sell, and to smoke as before.\n\n## Ningpo\n\nMissionary reports forwarded by His Majesty's Consul show that except for a few Proclamations nothing has been done towards enforcing the Imperial Regulations, while in some districts more land is being devoted to the poppy than before.\n\nEarly in June a Proclamation was issued by the Magistrate under instructions from Hangchow to the effect that all opium shops were to be closed on the 8th August. The Magistrate as well as the Prefect were confirmed opium-smokers, but it is stated that both have now given up the habit.\n\n## Peking\n\nA native newspaper published on the 28th June that, \"The Government Council is considering the imposition of a fine, varying with the rank of the offender, on all officials, from Princes and Ministers down to the lowest ranks, who fail to abandon the use of opium, the proceeds of the fine to be devoted to the 'patriotic fund'.\"\n\n## Tengyueh\n\nHis Majesty's Consul reports that various officials have informed him that no steps will be taken to carry out the Imperial Regulations until the autumn. The Regulations are not, it appears, being looked upon by the officials or the people seriously. It is difficult to see how the Chinese can suppress the poppy cultivation; the vast majority of officials never go outside their yamên walls except to pay calls. Exhortation will certainly not deter the Yunnanese from cultivating poppy and producing opium, and force dare not be applied.\n\n## Tien-tsin\n\nA missionary, writing on the 21st March from beyond the Great Wall, states that Proclamations, giving the gist of the Edict dealing with opium, have been scattered widely over the territory, and a heavy tax will be imposed on land used for its growth. The general impression is said to be that the programme would not be seriously carried out unless there were some strong men at head-quarters to make the Governors and District Magistrates of the Empire feel that serious business is meant. A native has informed the same missionary that, in his opinion, there is too much opium used in the Palace for the crusade to be pushed too hard. From Lucheng, South Shensi, it is reported that the Magistrate, \"a big opium smoker and eater, has done nothing beyond posting the provincial Proclamations in the yamên. Taxes to be increased. No local movement.\" Of the city of Li Cheng it is reported that the Magistrate is a non-smoker, and has posted a Proclamation, giving ten years to slowly cease growing, the tax being increased each year. From Hsuan Hua-fu, three days north of Peking, the issue is reported of a Proclamation by the Governor ordering people to abandon opium. But a later Proclamation by a local official requested the people still to cultivate the poppy, otherwise great loss to revenue would ensue. So the people are perplexed what to do.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received October 5.)**\n**(Confidential.)**\n\n(No. 402.)\n\nSir,\n\nPeking, August 20, 1907.\n\nIN my despatch No. 306 of the 24th ultimo I had the honour to report on the progress of the negotiations between Herr Cordes and Mr. Liang Tun Yen respecting the Tien-tsin Yang-tsze Railway.\n\nFor some days subsequent to that date no further steps were taken between the two negotiators, as they had reached a point beyond which they could not usefully go pending the arrival in Europe (vià Siberia) of the draft Agreement, a copy of which was inclosed in my last despatch.\n\nMr. E. G. Hillier had meanwhile begun his negotiations for the Soochow-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway, and it soon became evident that he could not expect better terms than those which were offered to Herr Cordes.\n\nMr. Hillier had been convinced since his return to Peking on the 17th July that the terms for the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Railway were unsatisfactory, owing to the omission of any safeguard for the proper disposal of the loan proceeds, and he had pointed out to Herr Cordes in a friendly way that he should insist on the Engineers-in-chief of the two sections of the line being persons acceptable to the Banks, and on the appointment of a Chief Accountant, with the stipulation that all indents by the Chinese Managing Director for loan funds should bear the counter-signature of these officials.\n\nHerr Cordes appeared singularly indifferent to these important points, and this fact, coupled with the apparent willingness of the German Minister to have the Agreement signed at all costs, led me to infer that there might be other considerations at stake.\n\nI therefore telegraphed to you on the 6th August (No. 157), drawing attention to the possible danger of having Herr Cordes as sole representative of both groups, and pointing out that whatever was settled in these negotiations would react upon the settlement of other outstanding Concessions.\n\nOn the 9th August Mr. Hillier received instructions to act as representative of the Central Chinese Railways (Limited), and proceeded forthwith to join Herr Cordes in carrying on negotiations with Mr. Liang.\n\nAt their first meeting, on the 13th August, the question of security was discussed. Mr. Liang stated that the securities which the Chinese Government proposed to offer were the general and opium li-kin of the Province of Chihli, amounting to 1,200,000 taels per annum, and the wine, tobacco, and opium li-kin of Shantung and Kiangsu, representing an annual revenue of another 800,000 taels and 600,000 taels respectively. This total of 2,600,000 taels was shown by Mr. Hillier to be insufficient to cover a loan of 6,000,000l., which, according to his calculation, would require a security of 4,000,000 taels per annum. Mr. Hillier pointed out also to his Excellency that the allocation of opium revenues by the Chinese Government as security at the present juncture, when the British public understood that the use of opium was to be totally prohibited within ten years, might arouse unfavourable comment when the loan prospectus was being examined by intending investors.\n\nTo this Mr. Liang replied that these totals represented the sums for which the three provinces undertook to hold themselves responsible, and that it was therefore immaterial from what source they came. They were general li-kin revenues, and if, as Mr. Hillier held, they were insufficient, the Central Government would have to indicate additional sources of revenue as security.\n\nThey then passed on to the points which Mr. Hillier desired to introduce into the Agreement, namely, the appointment of Engineers-in-chief and a Chief Accountant acceptable to the Syndicate, and with a share of responsibility in the application of loan funds.\n\nThe Chinese negotiator begged that the point should not be pressed, as he foresaw endless difficulty in persuading the gentry to accept such a condition.\n\n[2691 e-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412556, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 316, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## 4\n\nimpossible. Under the circumstances the dealers should be invited to establish a General Syndicate to undertake the preparation of opium under official control. The dealers authorized to act as branch establishments shall deal only with this Syndicate. This Syndicate shall be licensed by the Government Office, and shall, in addition to the excise on prepared opium, pay an annual licence fee. The branch establishments shall also pay annual licence fees, being divided for this purpose into classes according to the amount of their business.\n\n4. Regulation of Prices-In Formosa the official price was only slightly increased, and consumption was not altogether prohibited. In China also public opinion is not ripe for absolutely prohibitory prices, and reasonable prices must be fixed according to quality. In Nanking Indian opium and Hsuchou opium-cakes are most used, Szechuan and Kuangtung opium next, and lastly Honan and Anhui opium. It is now proposed that the maximum price of prepared opium, i.e., for the best quality, shall be 1 dollar (Mexican) an ounce; for the second quality, 80 cents; and for the third quality, 60 cents. Taxes are extra. The General Syndicate cannot sell less than one jar (10 oz.); branch shops cannot buy less than a jar, but can sell in retail. A reduction of 10 cents in the dollar is to be allowed by the General Syndicate on every sale to branch shops, but no one except such duly licensed branch shops shall obtain the benefit of this reduction.\n\n5. Increase of Excise.-The present excise is 20 cash an ounce. The annual amount realized is only one million some hundred thousand cash, representing a consumption of over 100,000 oz. This is obviously less than it should be, for, assuming 5,000 smokers at 2 mace per smoker per day, the consumption must be at least 10,000 oz. a day. At Soochow the excise is now increased to 30 cash an ounce, and it is proposed that it shall be the same at Nanking. It shall be collected each time that deputies are sent to the General Syndicate to inspect and stamp the prepared opium. Security shall be deposited by the General Syndicate when their operations are authorized.\n\n6. Issue of Stamps.-A stamp like a postage stamp, marked with the weight and price, shall be affixed to each jar by the official inspector every time the General Syndicate prepares opium, and cancelled. The expenses of this shall be borne by the Government Office. A fine of one hundred times the excise shall be inflicted on jars sold without stamp, all to go to the informer.\n\n7. Register of Smokers.-At Soochow this is already in force, and the same should be done in Nanking. An office or offices shall be established for this purpose, when the number of smokers is ascertained.\n\n8. Prohibition of Opium Dens.-According to the Regulations all opium dens are to be closed within six months. In the meantime, however, they are all to be licensed, and a tax to be paid monthly until the end of the period. The lamp tax is to be abolished. Illicit preparation of opium is to be punished.\n\n9. Appointment of Inspectors. The excise shall continue to be collected by the regular officials of the Revenue Department, but when this scheme comes into operation special officers shall be appointed, and shall work in co-operation with the police.\n\n10. Extension of the Scheme.--Operations shall begin at Nanking, but shall be gradually extended to other districts.\n\n11. Viceroy's Indorsement.-General approval of the above scheme is expressed, and its adoption experimentally is sanctioned. When details are settled, and the date for commencing operation is fixed, the Revenue Department is to refer the matter to the Governor of Kiangsu in a Supplementary Petition embodying the present Rescript.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the Nanking Official Gazette of July 19, 1907.\n\n**Instructions issued by Viceroy Tuan Fang to the Financial Commissioner and the Taotai Sun T'ing-lin establishing the “Kiangnan Head Office for Government Monopoly of the Sale of Government Prepared Opium.”**\n\n(Translation.)\n\nTHE Viceroy received some time ago the Report drawn up by the Kiangnan Revenue Department in reply to instructions, embodying Regulations for the Government monopoly of the preparation and sale of prepared opium, in which it was proposed that the scheme should be carried out by merchants under official control, and that it should be gradually extended from Nanking to other districts. In the Rescript to this Report instructions were given that the matter should be further considered and recommendations submitted. It was also ordered that an Anti-Opium Head Office and a Head Office for Examination and Taxing of Government Prepared Opium should be established at Nanking, under the management of the Financial Commissioner.\n\nThe original report of the Revenue Department set forth that on account of the present large consumption of opium in China the purchase by Government would entail an enormous initial expenditure, and recommended that for the present the merchants should be invited to undertake it. This recommendation is based on sound financial considerations, but it must be remembered that Imperial Decrees with regard to the restriction of opium have been issued providing for prohibition within a term of years. These Edicts are absolute and uncompromising to the last degree, and there is reason to fear that if the idea of intrusting the operations to merchants is entertained there may be evasions and pretexts for delay which would prevent immediate results.\n\nThe Government must therefore after all provide for the funds required, and an office must be established for the purchase of raw opium and the boiling and sale of prepared opium, so that restriction may be gradually enforced. The Office for Examination and Taxing of Government Prepared Opium shall be changed to the \"Kiangnan Head Anti-Opium Office for Monopoly of the Sale of Government Prepared Opium.\" This Office shall be under the control of the Nanking Financial Commissioner, and Sun Ting-ling, expectant Taotai, transferred from Hupei, is hereby appointed Director thereof. The Yunnan Government Bank shall provide a capital of 500,000 taels. Operations shall begin at Nanking, but Yangchou, Chinkiang, and other populous centres shall also make provision for the establishment of branch offices, which will be gradually extended. At all places where Government prepared opium offices have been established no private individuals, shops, or opium dens shall be allowed to boil opium themselves on pain of being treated as smugglers.\n\nAs regards the methods to be adopted for the purchase of raw opium, the boiling and sale of prepared opium, the prevention of smuggling, and the prohibition of the habit, and the financing and personnel of the Office, all these matters shall be considered by the said Financial Commissioner and Taotai in joint consultation, and detailed recommendations shall be submitted for approval. The Financial Commissioner shall select and engrave in Manchu and Chinese an official seal for the use of the Office, and send it to the Viceroy for issue.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\n**Third Article of Proposed Regulations for Government Prepared Opium Office.**\n\n(Translation.)\n\nBEFORE the expiry of the term of years set for total prohibition it is impossible to enforce the closing of all opium shops, while on the other hand they cannot be left altogether uncontrolled. It appears that in the opium trade the number of dealers who have sufficient capital to import the drug themselves is limited; the others are small shops which purchase wholesale from the large shops and sell in retail. In future all opium dealers who have sufficient resources to carry on their own import trade shall be allowed to undertake the supply of the raw opium required for the Government prepared opium, and the Office shall issue to them a licence to engage in this trade, such licence being issued without payment of fee. All opium imported hereafter shall be purchased from them by the Government Prepared Opium Office exclusively, and they shall not be allowed to sell on their premises. Those dealers who have not sufficient resources to undertake the supply of the raw opium required for the Government prepared opium shall have to become Government prepared opium branch establishments, and the Office shall fix a period within which they must be duly registered and licensed, such licence to be without payment of fee. If they prefer to change to another business, they shall be free to do so.\n\nWith regard to the opium dens at Nanking, a term of six months has already been fixed within which they must be closed. If they desire to act as Government prepared opium branch establishments, they shall be allowed to do so. \n\nPage 313", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412560, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 320, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government. 317\n\n2\n\nA separate notice will be issued, and a date fixed for inquiries regarding the number of opium smokers, in order that permits may be granted to them. As some time is required before this scheme can be carried out and such inquiries completed, opium smokers should not buy prepared opium except from the agencies of this Bureau where officially prepared opium would be sold. Smokers are not allowed to boil opium themselves, as it is against this prohibition. The use of opium cinders as a mixture for boiling opium is also prohibited; such cinders should in all cases be sold to the officials. The officers in charge of agencies of this Bureau are directed to purchase all such opium cinders, which should be handed over to this Bureau, when officially prepared opium is distributed to them in the proportion of 3 oz. of cinders to 10 oz. of officially prepared opium. Such cinders will be examined and paid for according to quality. Opium smokers desirous of selling cinders to this Bureau may do so at any time, and they will receive payment at once without any detention or trouble. This is done in order to encourage people to sell cinders to the Bureau willingly, and to put an end to private boiling of opium.\n\nIt is hoped that all merchants in charge of agencies for the sale of officially prepared opium and opium smokers should obey this notice implicitly and fully.\n\n## CHINA TRADE.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\n`[33102]`\n\n[October 5.]\n\n### SECTION 3.\n\n#### No. 1.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received October 5.)\n\n**(No. 394.)** Sir,\n\nPeking, August 19, 1907. I HAVE the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a despatch which I have received from His Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Cheungtu, inclosing translation of a Proclamation, issued on the 4th July by the Head Li-kin Office at Chengtu, announcing the abolition in Szechuan of the consolidated tax of 115 Kuping taels per picul on native opium, the closing of the opium collectorates within the province, and the substitution of a tax of 27-28 taels per picul, with an additional levy of 5'28 taels for railway purposes, on all native opium, whether purchased for local consumption or for export from the province.\n\nThe consolidated tax of 115 Kuping taels per picul was instituted in Szechuan in July 1906, but the provincial authorities found themselves unable strictly to enforce the collection, and at Chungking, whence there is a considerable export, the traffic in opium received a check, for, although exporters from the port were in a position to pay the consolidated tax, growers could not so readily find the money, and, although the official specially delegated to control the opium collection at Chungking arrived there on the 21st August, opium reported at the Imperial Maritime Customs for shipment down the Yang-tsze continued, until the end of 1906, to pay the duty of 20 Haikuan taels per picul on export, and the consolidated tax of 115 Kuping taels was levied on arrival at Ichang.\n\nThese taxation difficulties led to representations being made by the Acting Viceroy to the Board of Revenue, and to the sanction by the latter of the reduced taxation laid down in the Proclamation. The effect of the change is that all opium grown in Szechuan, whether consumed in or exported from the province, is now liable within the province to a tax of only 27-28 Kuping taels, and a levy of 5-28 Szechuan taels per picul for railway purposes. The great bulk of the opium grown in Szechuan is consumed in the province, and by the new arrangement it is liable to payment of less than 30 per cent. of the consolidated tax of 115 Kuping taels, and, as the provincial authorities have been unable to enforce the latter in all districts, it may be doubted whether their efforts will be more successful in the case of the reduced taxation.\n\n**(No. 36.)** Sir,\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J.

Jordan to General Waters\n\nPeking, August 17, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 13th instant, in which you quote a clause from the terms laid down in 1902 by the Allied Commanders in connection with the handing over of the native city of Tien-tsin, to the effect that the Chinese garrisons within less than 18 miles of the Peking-Shanhaikuan Railway were under no circumstances to be increased, and state that it has recently come to your knowledge that small bodies of Chinese troops have been stationed since 1904 at thirteen different points close to the railway, the total number now being 1,035, 350 of whom had arrived since June last.\n\nYou add that there is no record in your office to show that the terms formulated by the Commanders were communicated to or accepted by the Chinese Government.\n\nIn reply, I have the honour to inform you that, so far as I can ascertain, the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412637, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 397, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# 5 The Situation in Szechuan\n\nThe recent outbreak in the K'ai Hsien and Wan Hsien districts, where popular discontent with the new opium taxes was fanned into open rebellion by the agents of secret societies, should be a warning to the Provincial Government of what may happen this summer in other parts of the province.\n\nThe gradual increase of direct and indirect taxation during the last few years, firstly for educational and latterly for railway purposes, culminating in the imposition in many places of prohibitive taxes on native opium and the threatened closing of opium divans and shops throughout the province, has roused feelings of resentment and suspicion among the people. Being in this frame of mind, the ubiquitous agents of the Red Lantern (\"Hung Teng Chiao\") and other secret societies find it an easy task to persuade the lower classes, especially the country people, that the foreigner and his religion are responsible for these schemes for education, railways, and the suppression of the opium habit, schemes which manifestly tend to transfer the hard-won earnings of the poor into the pockets of the officials. It is not, therefore, surprising that at K'ai Hsien the rioters made their rallying cry \"Down with foreign schools and gospel halls!\" and it is certain that wherever popular risings against the enforcement of the new Opium Regulations take place schools and mission stations will be the first to suffer. The agitators who lead these insurrectionary movements know by experience that the destruction of foreign property or the houses of native Christians is the surest means of embarrassing the officials and securing compliance with their demands. The Szechuanese, at ordinary times well disposed towards foreigners and foreign missions, blindly follow their lead and attack missionaries and converts, with whom they may have been living for years on friendly terms. The political outlook at the close of the quarter is not promising. Much will depend on the amount of pressure the Acting Viceroy is able to bring to bear on the local officials.\n\n## 5. Ningpo\n\nHis Majesty's Consul reports that on the 21st June a secret telegram was received by the Taotai from the Governor stating, on information supplied by the Viceroy at Nanking, that the revolutionaries in that district had dispatched agents to Shantung and to the neighbourhood of Ningpo to enlist followers with a view to the capture of certain cities, and that they had succeeded in getting together some 8,000 men among the fishermen and tinfoil workers. Strict orders were given for the capture of two leaders. In spite of the importance of keeping these orders from the men whose arrest was wanted, the telegram appeared in one of the Chinese papers a few days after its receipt.\n\nRice Troubles. During the quarter ended the 30th June there were slight risings at two places, in which some rice shops were looted, but the accounts of these which appeared in the foreign press were much exaggerated.\n\n## 6. Peking\n\n**Roman Catholic Church**. On the 14th June an Imperial clansman is stated by a native newspaper to have presented to Na Tung a Petition written in blood, asking that China should herself establish a Roman Catholic Association, should send a representative to the Pope, ask the Pope to appoint a representative to Peking, and also appoint a Chinese as Head of the Church; the object being to avoid foreign interference in cases where converts are concerned. Na sympathized, and sent the Petition to the Wai-wu Pu for their consideration.\n\nOn the 26th June another newspaper published a statement to the effect that, France having abandoned the Protectorate over Roman Catholics in the Far East, the Pope had sent to the Missions in China to make a careful choice of a Chinese to be Archbishop in China.\n\n**Japanese Buddhists in Fukien**. The Viceroy is said to have telegraphed to the Wai-wu Pu in June to the effect that over ten Japanese Buddhists had arrived in Foochow, where they were desirous of building a temple and propagating Buddhism, and that they claimed to be treated on the same footing as Christian missionaries.\n\n**Dalai Lama**. A native paper stated on the 14th June that a man from Hsining said that the Dalai Lama was still there, and would probably not start for Thibet before the end of the autumn.\n\n**Constitutional Reform**. It is evident that the discussion of this question is taking up a great deal of the Court's time, judging from the following extracts from the native newspapers, a few of the many which appear on the subject:\n\n- June 27. \"The question of constitutional government was discussed the other day in the Palace. Most of the high officials present were of opinion that Yuan Shih-kai and Chang Chih-tung should come to Peking to give their advice. Only Prince Ching was against this, holding that all the Viceroys and Governors should be consulted by telegraph, and in the end his opposition was successful.\"\n- June 29. \"After repeated discussion at the Grand Secretariat on the subject of actual preparation for a constitutional form of government, it has been decided to make a beginning with Chihli. A Memorial may be sent up within a month.\"\n- July 9. \"The Reform Edict of the 7th is said to be due to Viceroys Yuan Shih-kai and Tuan Fang, who wished to begin reforms in Chihli and Kiangsu, having got Prince Ching to see the Empress Dowager on the matter. The term of fifteen years was fixed on account of the large number of provincial officials and the difficulty of weeding them out.\"\n- July 18. \"On the 16th, at an audience of the Grand Council, their Majesties directed the Council to call upon the Princes, Dukes, and high military and civil officials to make an immediate study of the means of preparing for constitutional government and to memorialize the Throne.\"\n- August 2. \"A Memorial has been received from Yuan Shih-kai, in which he holds up Corea as an awful example, and which has had a great effect on highly-placed persons at Court. These persons met a few days ago to discuss the formation of a Council of Constitutional Reform and the early establishment of a Constitution. Duke Tse was especially outspoken.\"\n\nJuly 11. Prince Ch'ing has taken the opportunity afforded by the alarm which the assassination of En Ming created to press again upon the attention of their Majesties the advisability of the early adoption of constitutional government, represented that such a course would deprive the anti-dynastic societies of their only device for gaining adherents, which is to make out that the Chinese Government is despotic and tyrannous.\n\n**Assassination of Governor of Anhui and Yang-tsze unrest**\n\n- July 18. \"The Grand Council was in such a panic over the assassination of En Ming that they held a meeting and decided that Hsu should be severely tortured and his entire kindred exterminated, as a warning to future rebels. Prince Su, when he heard of this, stood alone in disapproving, saying that the extermination of a family was not a civilized punishment, and that revolutionaries and anti-Manchus could not be restrained in that way; and he advocated the execution of Hsu without involving his family. But it was not until he had obtained the support of Prince Chun and Hsün Peitzu that Prince Ching and Lu Chung-tang could be persuaded to agree to a more temperate action.\"\n\nOn the 1st of the 6th month (30th June) an anonymous telegram was sent to Chang Chih-tung from Shanghae, enumerating the revolutionaries whom he has killed in the last few years, and saying that in the course of the 6th or 7th month he will be killed with a bomb. The Viceroy was much alarmed, and gave orders for the utmost vigilance to be used in watching for smuggled arms. Quite recently a police raid in Wuchang resulted in the seizure of 2,000 guns and a large quantity of cartridges and powder and the arrest of four men, one of whom said he was the nephew of Sun Wen. He said that the arms had been brought in the day before, but declined to say by what means they were got past the Customs, even when examined with the bamboo. He was then executed within the gate of the Viceroy's yamên.\n\nOn the 3rd August a native paper stated that \"Lien K'uei, Governor of Kansu (so the paper; he is, in fact, Governor of Hsin Chiang, the New Territory), has been stabbed by a certain District Magistrate, and fears are entertained for his life. No official news has been received, but the family of Tuan Fang have had a telegram.\" This proved to be an entirely unfounded rumour.\n\nThe same paper stated, also on the 3rd August, that \"for the last week the Grand Council have been having repeated secret meetings, once in the Imperial presence.

Later cross girder bridge supported by one stone pier. River on right. Below a small coal-trolley line to the mines, which crosses the Wei-shui Ho by a wooden bridge on seven piers.\n\nJust before reaching it, cross two girder bridges without pier supports. Here passed coal train of seven tracks. River on right; soon leave. Now pass through many cuttings, some of rock, some of loess, standing without support or banked with mud. Mud-walled city 200 yards to right, across river. Then through a tunnel and across river by a girder bridge. It is crossed by two or three fords about here, but at present very low. Country wilder; through rock cuttings.\n\nPassed passenger train. Now more loess terraces among hills. Cross river by girder bridge on four piers and five arches just before Niang-tzu-kuan.\n\nJust before station, a piece of now wall, 50 yards long with some old mud mounds, marks line of Great Wall separating provinces.

Station 1 mile to south-east of city.\n\n## Notes\n\nSidings 100 yards to 150 yards long. Water towers with stone basements. Engines small and marked \"Anciens Établissements Cail, Denain, France, 1906.” Chinese drivers and stokers. Our train consisted of one composite, first and second class (first class with four seats and arm-rests; second class, two compartments each; could hold eight passengers, but it would only hold six soldiers). Seats of both classes of leather. Light luggage racks and oil lamps. Lavatories attached. Corridor passages.\n\nThere were three third-class corridor carriages, each could hold forty-six Chinese, rather tightly packed on wooden benches. Also three closed and two open vans. Each van carries 20 tons.\n\nFares (Chen-t'ou to Shou-yang Hsien). First class, 10 dol. 40 c.; second class, 5 dol. 20 c.; third class, 2 dol. 60 c. Hong Kong dollars are taken, Mexican dollars are only accepted as 90 cents. No charge for my baggage. As nobody in charge of luggage van, one's boy has to travel in it. No restaurant arrangements.\n\nRailway Stations all of stone, large buildings at Ch'en-t'ou, other stations quite small. Platforms about 6 inches to 9 inches above line.\n\nRails: One, made 33 feet long (probably 10 metres), fastened at each end to fish-plates by two bolts, and to each sleeper by one bolt. Line ballasted with stone. On the whole, it runs smoothly, except from Cha-hsi-yi to Shou-yang Hsien, where it shakes a good deal.\n\nTelegraph alongside line and two strands of wire.\n\nLine very winding, running up among loess hills. As little or no rain had fallen, I found loess terraces very bare, but in valleys near rivers, it was greener.\n\nThe line is guarded on Chih-li side by a few of the Lien Chun of Chen-ting-fu, armed with batons. They look to be of all ages and effete.\n\nTime-Table: There is as yet no regular time-table; they gave me a copy of the temporary one, in which the stations were only marked by the first letter of each word. The stations are, of course, all written according to the French transliteration, and it is necessary to see the character, or get the Chinese to pronounce them, before being able to transliterate them. Names of stations written up in large letters on either side of each station.\n\nLine at Shou-yang Hsien guarded by some Shan-hsi cavalry (\"Ma-san-tui\") of the provincial troops (\"Hsün-fang-tui\") armed with tower muskets. The railway embankment has been completed to Tai-yuan-fu. It runs close to the road from Cheng-ts'un (6 miles south-east of T'ai-yuan-fu), and about 200 yards to the west of it, crossing road about a mile from city. Embankment near Cheng-ts'un 8 feet to 10 feet high and 5 yards wide at top. Culverts faced with stone, but not yet bridged. Terminus will be 100 yards to south-east of New South Gate (eastern of the two south gates), and the station is under construction. It is expected the line will be open about the 20th September, 1907. The delay was caused by the Han-yang Ironworks not being able to supply rails, which are now coming from Europe.\n\n**(Signed) G.

Dubail, the French Minister, withdrew all claim to these lands and caused the French boundary posts to be removed and the lands returned to the Company. After a period of eighteen months' undisturbed occupation by the Company of the same, the land was again forcibly seized by the French Government. The justification advanced in the French Memorandum is to be found on pp. 11 and 12, and reads as follows:\n\n\"En fait, la situation de la France à Ts'in-ouang-tao est nette et son droit sur les terrains qu'elle occupe fort bien établi; d'accord avec les autres Puissances, elle détient en vertu du droit de guerre et en exécution de l'Article 9 du Protocole de 1901 relatif à l'occupation des points nécessaires pour assurer les libres communications entre Pékin et la mer en toute saison, une partie des terrains de Ts'in-ouang-tao, au même titre que divers autres emplacements situés sur les lignes d'étapes entre Pékin et la mer, et nul ne peut légalement l'en déposséder.\"\n\nThe \"droit de guerre\" could give no right to the French Government to seize the private property of the subjects of a friendly Power six weeks after the Final Peace Protocol with the Chinese Government has been signed.\n\nArticle 9 of the Protocol confirms to the use of the Powers certain lands the occupation of which had been ceded by the previous Protocol of the 16th February, 1901, for the purpose of maintaining free communication between the capital and the sea. It affords no justification for the subsequent seizure of private property.\n\nExcept for the alleged \"droit de guerre,\" no justification is offered by the French Memorandum beyond occasional references to the Tien-tsin Treaty of 1858, and an argument that the possession by this Company of its land constitutes a breach of that Treaty.\n\n31\n\nMy Directors cannot understand how clause 14 of the Treaty of 1858 forbidding \"toute coalition organisée dans le but d'exercer un monopole sur le commerce\" have any bearing on the case, or how, if a right were accorded to the French Government to lease a small portion of land at Chin Wang Tao to private individuals for commercial or industrial purposes, it could remedy a breach of this clause. The ownership of the land by this Company gives no monopoly of commerce, nor does the Company claim any. What gives this Company a special position at Chin Wang Tao (apart from its legal title) is the fact that the port has been created by the Company, that no natural port whatsoever existed there, but an artificial harbour has been created as the result of the expenditure of large sums of money by this Company in the construction of a pier and breakwater, &c. But for this expenditure the land would be worthless, as it was when first acquired by the Company.\n\nNo commercial monopoly is sought or exercised by this Company at Chin Wang Tao. The Agreement made with M. Dubail accorded to French nationals and shippers the same facilities at moderate rates as to those of any other Power, the same Agreement having been entered into with the German and Japanese Governments. In proof of this we need only mention that half-a-dozen different shipping lines, including the French \"Chargeurs Réunis,\" are running to the port. The Company is, moreover, quite prepared to sell to French nationals as much land as they may require on exactly the same terms as are accorded to any others.\n\nAs regards the rights of this Company to its property at Chin Wang Tao under the Agreement of Purchase with the old Chinese Engineering and Mining Company my Directors do not consider that they are called upon to enter into any discussion, but I am to point out that Chang Yen Mao, in entering into the Agreement, acted not only as Director-General of the old Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, but also as Director-General of Mines of the Province of Chili, in which capacity he was second only to the Viceroy in rank and power.\n\nOn pp. 6 and 7, however, a definite pretext is assigned for taking the view that the Company's rights are open to question. It runs as follows:\n\n\"La date seule du 30 Juillet, 1900, fait d'ailleurs tomber le contrat sous le coup d'une décision du Corps Diplomatique de Pékin (procès-verbal de la quatrième séance, le 5 Novembre, 1900), d'après laquelle aucun achat de terrains aux Chinois depuis le commencement de siège ne saurait être valable sans l'assentiment des Ministres étrangers. Cette mesure, qui visait spécialement les spéculations dolosives dans l'enceinte du quartier des Légations de Pékin, répondait à la préoccupation générale d'empêcher les ventes fictives ou léonines. Ainsi le contrat provisoire du 30 Juillet, 1900, conclu sans titres suffisants, est des plus contestables en raison de sa date, qui le rend légalement sans valeur.\"\n\nIn reply, it is only necessary to point out that this decision of the Diplomatic Corps referred exclusively to land at Peking, as is well known to all concerned.\n\nThe fact remains that this British Company has twice been forcibly dispossessed, while in actual possession and occupation of certain lands, by the French Government without any warrant or justification, and that no satisfactory explanation is as yet advanced.\n\nThe French Government, in trying to prove that the position of this Company is not correct, is taking up a question which it is not in its province to adjudicate upon. This Company's contentions as to its rights are incontestable from the point of view of international law, and the action of the French Government can only be considered as an act of aggression against British-owned property.\n\nIt is not, however, only because of the very material loss which acceptance of the French proposals would entail that the Company finds itself unable to accede to the French demands; it is because this Company is pledged to the British, Japanese, and German Governments to equality of treatment in all respects for their respective nationals, and is therefore unable to come to an agreement with the French Government by which French citizens would be placed at an advantage over those of any other Power.\n\nThat is the reason why this Company cannot consent to the transfer of further lands to the French Government beyond those near the railway station of which it already has the use, nor to the use of those lands for private and commercial purposes.\n\nMy Directors therefore beg to request that His Majesty's Government should urge upon the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs the acceptance of a similar arrangement to that made with the Governments of Japan and Germany.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nThe Chinese Engineering and Mining Company (Limited),\n\n**(Signed) ALFRED W.

Pichon's letter might give the impression that this Company has adopted an unconciliatory attitude in dealing with the question of the French occupation. So far from this being the case, the Company has throughout expressed its willingness to concede to the French Government exactly the same advantages which have been accepted by the German and Japanese Governments. The Company, in fact, expressed its willingness to meet the demands made by the French Minister for land for naval, military, and Government purposes, although these demands exceeded those of either the Japanese or the German Governments. Moreover, the Company's proposals were accepted as satisfactory by M. Dubail, the former Minister at Peking, who concluded an Agreement accordingly on the 5th October, 1904. It was only after a lapse of eighteen months that the Company received information that this Agreement was rejected by the French Foreign Office.\n\nM. Pichon's letter proposes as an equitable compromise the very conditions which from the first have been rejected as unacceptable to this Company.\n\nThe French Memorandum may be divided into four sections:--\n\n1. The justification of the French action and position.\n2. The alleged history of the port and the Company, and a discussion of its rights.\n3. An announcement of possible action with the Chinese Government hostile to the Company.\n4. A reiteration of proposals for a settlement, which from the first have been rejected by this Company.\n\nThe French Government are at present in occupation--\n\n(a) Of certain lands near the railway station.\n\nThese lands were occupied by the French Government at the end of 1900 or the beginning of 1901, simultaneously with the temporary occupation of land at Chin Wang Tao, effected by the other Powers. This area of ground, in the occupation of the French authorities, is far greater than that occupied by the other Power, and only a small portion of it is actually required for their naval and military depôts. The Company has always expressed its willingness to its retention of this extended area by the French Government for Government purposes.\n\nThe only issue with respect to these lands, therefore, is their assignment by the French Government to their nationals for private or trading purposes. This is dealt with later, where it is shown that the Protocol of the 7th September, 1901, Article IX, on which the French Government's claim is based, expressly recognizes \"le droit d'occuper certains points pour maintenir les communications libres entre la capitale et la mer,\" but only for that special purpose.\n\n(b) Of certain lands on the Bluff, at Chin Wang Tao.\n\nThese lands were forcibly seized by the French Government in October 1901, at a time when they were indisputably in the possession of this Company, and some time subsequent to the signing of the Peace Protocol of the 7th September, 1901. It is surprising that the French Memorandum makes no reference to this nor affords any justification of their action.\n\nCompletely independent and reliable evidence of this seizure and its date is to be found in the Report of Captain H. W. Cruddas, Officer Commanding Chin Wang Tao, addressed on the 20th October, 1901, to the Chief Staff Officer of the British China field force in Tien-tsin.\n\nCorroborating this is the protest addressed by the then Manager of the Company, Mr. Dugan, to the French Admiral, dated the 27th October, 1901, and his reply dated the 1st December, 1901, expressing himself unable to deal with the matter, and referring the former to the French Minister in Peking.\n\nM. Dubail, the French Minister, withdrew all claim to these lands, and caused the French boundary-posts to be removed and the lands returned to the Company. After a period of eighteen months' undisturbed occupation by the Company of the same, the land was again forcibly seized by the French Government. The justification advanced in the French Memorandum is to be found on pp. 11 and 12, and reads as follows:-\n\n\"En fait, la situation de la France à Ts'in-ouang-tao est nette et son droit sur les terrains qu'elle occupe fort bien établi; d'accord avec les autres Puissances, elle détient, en vertu du droit de guerre et en exécution de l'Article IX du Protocole de 1901 relatif à l'occupation des points nécessaires pour assurer les libres communications entre Pekin et la mer en toute saison, une partie des terrains de Ts'in-ouang-tao, au même titre que divers autres emplacements situés sur les lignes d'étapes entre Pekin et la mer, et nul ne peut légalement l'en déposséder.”\n\nThe \"droit de guerre\" could give no right to the French Government to seize the private property of the subjects of a friendly Power six weeks after the final Peace Protocol with the Chinese Government has been signed.\n\nArticle IX of the Protocol confirms to the use of the Powers certain lands, the occupation of which had been ceded by the previous Protocol of the 16th February, 1901, for the purpose of maintaining free communication between the capital and the sea. It affords no justification for the subsequent seizure of private property.\n\nExcept for the alleged \"droit de guerre\" no justification is offered by the French Memorandum beyond occasional references to the Tien-tsin Treaty of 1858, and an argument that the possession by this Company of its land constitutes a breach of that Treaty.\n\nThe Directors of the Company cannot understand how Clause No. XIV of the Treaty of 1858 forbidding \"toute coalition organisée dans le but d'exercer un monopole sur le commerce\" can have any bearing on the case, or how, if a right were accorded to the French Government to lease a small portion of land at Chin Wang Tao to private individuals for commercial or industrial purposes, it could remedy a breach of this clause. The ownership of the land by this Company gives no monopoly of commerce, nor does the Company claim any. What gives this Company a special position at Chin Wang Tao (apart from its legal title) is the fact that the port has been created by the Company, that no natural port whatsoever existed there, but an artificial harbour has been created as the result of the expenditure of large sums of money by this Company in the construction of a pier and breakwater, &c. But for this expenditure the land would be worthless, as it was when first acquired by the Company.\n\nNo commercial monopoly is sought or exercised by this Company at Chin Wang Tao. The Agreement made with M. Dubail accorded to French nationals and shippers the same facilities at moderate rates as to those of any other Power, the same Agreement having been entered into with the German and Japanese Governments. In proof of this we need only mention that half-a-dozen different shipping lines, including the French \"Chargeurs Réunis,\" are now running to the port. The Company is, moreover, quite prepared to sell to French nationals as much land as they may require on exactly the same terms as are accorded to any others.\n\nAs regards the rights of this Company to its property at Chin Wang Tao under the Agreement of Purchase with the old Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, the Directors of the Company do not consider that they are called upon to enter into any discussion, but I am to point out that Chang Yen Mao, in entering into the Agreement, acted, not only as Director-General of the old Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, but also as Director-General of Mines of the Province of Chili, in which capacity he was second only to the Viceroy in rank and power.\n\nOn pp. 6 and 7, however, a definite pretext is assigned for taking the view that the Company's rights are open to question. It runs as follows:-\n\n\"La date seule du 30 Juillet, 1900, fait d'ailleurs tomber le contrat sous le coup d'une décision du Corps Diplomatique de Pékin (procès-verbal de la quatrième séance, le 5 Novembre, 1900), d'après laquelle aucun achat de terrains aux Chinois depuis le commencement du siège ne saurait être valable sans l'assentiment des Ministres étrangers. Cette mesure, qui visait spécialement les spéculations dolosives dans l'enceinte du quartier des Légations de Pékin, répondait à la préoccupation générale d'empêcher les ventes fictives ou léonines. Ainsi le contrat provisoire du 30 Juillet, 1900, conclu sans titres suffisants, est des plus contestables, en raison de sa date, qui le rend légalement sans valeur.\"\n\nIn reply, it is only necessary to point out that this decision of the Diplomatic Corps referred exclusively to land at Peking, as is well known to all concerned.\n\nThe fact remains that this British Company has twice been forcibly dispossessed, while in actual possession and occupation, of certain lands, by the French Government, and that no satisfactory explanation is as yet advanced.\n\nPage 531", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 414498, "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": "CO129-348 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [7-10]", "page_number": 409, "title": "CO129-348 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [7-10]", "content_text": "## C,-Continued. \n### COMPENSATION AWARDED FOR LOSS, DAMAGE, &c., OF BOATS REPORTED AT THE HARBOUR OFFICE,—Continued.\n\n| Date | By whom reported | Name of junk | No. | Business | Course of damage | Date | 1.

In proof of this, it is only necessary to refer to two letters written in the year 1899 by Chang Yen Mao to Mr. C. A. Moreing at the time when the former was endeavouring to obtain a loan of 200,000l. for the Chinese Company.\n\nIn a letter dated the 20th September, 1899 (Annexure No. 6), Chang Yen Mao expressly states that the loan has for one of its objects the opening of a new colliery near to the railway station at Kuyeh, on the line from Tien-tsin to Shanhaikwan, in the Province of Chihli, and he adds:--\n\n\"The loans and premiums to be secured by the coal-fields, mining rights, and plant, and all the property acquired, or to be acquired, by the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company (Chinese Company) in connection with the collieries at Tangshan, Linsi, and Kuyeh.\n\nIn another letter, of the 17th October, 1899 (Annexure No. 7), Chang Yen Mao repeats that the loan is necessary as much for the construction of a harbour pier at Ching-wang Tao as for the opening of a new colliery at Wu-shui Chwang.\n\nThe loan that Chang Yen Mao applied for was ultimately made, and an Edict was obtained from the Throne by Chang Yen Mao authorizing him to raise the loan on behalf of the Chinese Company (Annexure No. 8).\n\nThe general mortgage bond, which was drawn up to secure the loan, is dated the 20th September, 1899 (Annexure No. 9). It expressly states that the proceeds of the loan are to be applied, amongst other objects, to the acquisition and opening up of a new colliery near the railway station of Kuyeh on the Tien-tsin-Shanhaikwan Railway line in the Province of Chihli, or such other colliery as may be approved by the said Bewick, Moreing, and Co. and Gustav Detring.\n\nThe loan having been thus raised by the Chinese Company, the preliminary work for the establishment of a new colliery at Wu-shui Chwang was immediately entered upon, and was only abandoned in consequence of the Boxer rising.\n\nThe documents quoted above prove that the Chinese Company enjoyed complete rights over the whole of the Kaiping Basin. The fact is confirmed in the clearest manner by an official Memorial addressed to the Throne on the 20th day of the 5th moon of the 27th year of Kuang-su, i.e., on the 11th July, 1901, by Chang Yen Mao and Li Jung-chang, then Viceroy of Petchili. This document was prepared for the express purpose of making known the Agreements entered into between the Chinese Company and the new English Company (Annexure No. 10). We extract therefore the following passage:-----\n\nS\n\nApart from sinking additional shafts at Liu-shi, which is 50 li distant from Tongshan, permission was obtained to buy land and sink shafts at Wu-Shui-Chwang, Pai Tao Tzu, and other places in the Lanchow district which were found to be connected by the same seam of coal at Tongshan. The object was to provide a supply in case the output of the Tougshan and other mines should not be sufficient.\n\nIt should be remembered that Chang Yen Mao, in the action which he brought in the English Courts on the order of the Throne and of the Viceroy himself, far from attacking the validity of the Deed of Sale of the 19th February, 1901, recognized its validity, and only asked the English Court that an accessory Agreement called the\n\nA\n\n\"Memorandum\" which had been entered into at the same time should be made equally binding on the English Company.\n\nThe Deed of Sale of the 19th February, 1901, was not only entered into by Chang Yen Mao with the knowledge of Li Hung-chang but the latter subsequently recognized the transaction by joining on the 11th July, 1901, in a Memorial which Chang Yen Mao addressed to the Throne in order to report the sale of the Chinese Company's undertaking and the registration in London of the English Company. Attention will be drawn later on to this important document, and it is sufficient to note here that the Viceroy, so far from ignoring the transfer, expressly approved it.\n\nWhen Chang Yen Mao came to Europe to bring the action against the English Company it was, as above pointed out, at the express order of the Throne and the Viceroy Yuen Chi Kai. He had been instructed to \"recover the Company.\"\n\nOn receipt of the Memorial above mentioned the Throne signed the following Rescript:--\n\n\"This has been noted: the said Minister must bear the whole responsibility and let him zealously and satisfactorily manage the Company in order to protect this source of profit.\"\n\nThe Imperial Rescript thus confirms the transaction but reserves Chang's responsibility vis-à-vis the Chinese authorities.\n\nIt was only after the date of this Rescript that the debenture and share capital was issued.\n\nSince then, the English Company has proceeded with its business for six years and has always regularly met its obligations towards the Chinese Government, as Yuen Chi Kai himself states in his report to the Throne. (Annexure No. 11.)\n\nRespecting the sovereignty of the Chinese Government, the Limited Company cannot of course encroach upon that, and the duties, taxes, li-kin, and royalties the Company has not forgotten to pay.\n\nHe is still more explicit in his letter to Chang (Annexure No. 12), where he declares:--\n\n\"The rights and powers of the Imperial Government cannot be, never were, nor will be encroached by the said Company (the English Company). They paid their taxes and reported their proceedings and annual accounts.\"\n\nThe position may therefore be summed up as follows:--\n\n(a.) The English Company has validly acquired the exclusive mining rights over the whole of the Kaiping Basin by the Deed of the 19th February, 1901, which was entered into by Chang Yen Mao in his capacity as Director-General of the Chinese Company and Minister of Mines for the Province of Chibli.\n\n(b.) This Deed has been approved by Li Hung-chang, then Viceroy of Petchili. (c.) It has also been confirmed by Imperial Decree.\n\nUnder these circumstances the Concession purported to have been granted by the ex-Viceroy Yuen Chi Kai to the Lanchow Mining Company is a direct infringement of the English Company's rights and ought to be cancelled.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(The Chinese Engineering and Mining Company,\n\nLimited),\n\n(Signed) ALF.

The object was to provide a supply in case the output of the Tongshan and other mines should not be sufficient. Furthermore, I received instructions through the Tsung-li Yamên that the Imperial sanction had been given to the voluntary opening by China of Chinwangtao as a commercial port. Land, on which the various wharves, yards, and godowns required to be constructed by the Company, has been bought ready for use. These facts are also on record; but the cost of buying the land just referred to is very great, and the reserve fund which the Company has accumulated during the successive years has been used to pay for the wharves, machinery, &c., and there is no balance left. At this critical period the national treasury is short of money, and, furthermore, it is not a fitting time to request a loan from the Government. I have frequently reflected on this, as all these points are essential and must not be neglected. The only way is either to seek foreign loans, or invite additional capital in a sufficient amount to help to carry on the business.\n\nWhile I was thinking how to carry out this, it happened that in the 5th moon of last year bad characters raised a disturbance, and the allied troops came to Tien-tsin and forcibly seized the wharves, yards, and godowns at Tongku and Tien-tsin, and also took the Company's steamers at Tien-tsin. The reason was that the Kaiping mines have been for a long time an object jealously coveted and secretly aimed at by all the Powers. They have certainly harboured such thoughts, so that when a quarrel happened to break out between China and foreign countries they immediately seized, without exception, all the important places of the Company, and the Company has therefore lost half of its substance. The Boxer trouble breaking out so suddenly at that time, affairs were in a very dangerous state, and my power was not sufficient to find a means of saving the situation.\n\nIn my humble opinion this mine is one of China's successful enterprises. If on the one hand the revenue which the State derives and on the other the merchants' capital were recklessly wasted in one day, the whole situation in Peiyang would have been very much affected. I was in a great state of anxiety, having no one to whom I could report or receive instructions from. At that time I learnt that the former Commissioner of Customs, Detring, happened to be in Tien-tsin. The Commissioner had been a long time in China, and has been very just in transacting business—he can be relied upon. Because I thought by getting a foreigner to manage things there might be just a chance of saving the Company, I accordingly appointed the said Commissioner to temporarily act as general manager of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company's affairs.\n\nThe Commissioner, after his appointment, conducted affairs in a very zealous manner; unfortunately it was impossible for the strength of the Company to withstand the united forces of the allied troops. In the eighth moon the allied troops unexpectedly moved eastwards from the Poi Tang and Lutai stretch of country straight up to Hsu Ko-chuang, and from there to Tongshan, Linhsi and other places. They seized all the yards and godowns of the Company, and hoisted the flag of all nations on the Company's land at Tongshan.\n\nIt appears that very luckily when the Tongshan shafts, which are the foundation of the Company, were seized, the staff and workmen did not all bolt. Moreover, in my opinion, the Company is a commercial undertaking and is not on the same footing as Government property. I learn that according to European law although war is going on, no merchant property can be confiscated. If the management of the Company is closely connected with foreign commercial undertakings there may be a chance by this means of saving the Company.\n\nMoreover, it appears that there is a clause in the regulations formerly issued by the Railway and Mining Head Bureau, authorizing the inviting of foreign capital in co-operation. At this critical period there is no other means of saving the Company since I dare not let it be ruined or leave everything to fate, and, furthermore, I do not dare by blindly following the public opinion to sit by and lose this opportunity. I have again and again not been able to come to a decision, but apart from the idea of adding foreign capital to co-operate in the Company, there is really no other possible scheme.\n\nI accordingly jointly consulted the Commissioner Detring, and the rich English merchant, Moreing, and a satisfactory arrangement was come to by which it was decided to invite capital from all nations for the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, which, together with the shares originally issued would make up a capital of 1,000,000l., i.e., the Chinese old shares as well as the new Chinese capital added to the Company would make up a total of 500,000l., while the remaining 500,000l. of shares would be divided amongst the merchants of all nations, and the Company changed into a Chinese and foreign co-operative limited liability Company. The meaning of the word \"liability\" is that in the Company's various undertakings the sum of 1,000,000l. will be the limit of their capital, and apart from this there will be no further liability.\n\nAn Agreement was then drawn up and a telegram was sent to London to register the Company coming into operation from the 1st month of the 27th year. Regulations formerly agreed on and the requisite amount of duty to be paid to the State, it was decided to go on with as formerly. As regards the managing staff, Chinese and foreigners would have the same rank and power and Regulations to serve as a guide, were unanimously decided on for managing the Company.\n\nAfter the Agreement had been drawn up I at once ordered the staff of the Company to immediately wind up the former accounts, and at the same time I instructed a foreign mining engineer to proceed to Tongshan and other spots in order to reorganize affairs. The flags of the various nations were all removed and replaced by the flags of the Chinese and Foreign Co-operative Company. Workmen were collected and coal began to be extracted from the shafts at Tongshan and Linusi, and again transported by railway to Tien-tsin and Tongku to provide for the needs of the various steamers arriving at those ports. The yards and godowns with former deposits of coal were all recovered, foreigners not being able to confiscate them. The Company's steamers which were seized by the allied troops were also all recovered, and are in our hands now.\n\nAs regards the duty and li-kin on coal due to the State it was arranged that the amount should be entered up in the books, and that when the allied forces had withdrawn it should be handed over without any shortage. This is the general statement of what happened after the Co-operative Company had been formed. In the midst of the confusion affairs were suddenly righted, and it was really due to the Government's profound kindness and unbounded favour which pervades everywhere and wherever its virtuous influence reached all men were favourably affected, and therefore enabled this Company which was ruined to finally recover itself, a thing which in my humble opinion could not at first possibly be expected.\n\nIn addition to satisfactorily arranging some matters which had not been finally settled, and forthwith requesting the Railway and Mining Bureau, as well as the Tsung-li Yamên, to take note and put it on record, I, therefore, conjointly with Li Hung-chang (Superintendent of Northern Trade, and Governor of Chihli) respectfully presents this Memorial giving the reasons for the establishment of the Chinese and Foreign Co-operative Company, and humbly beg the sacred glance thereon.\n\n## The Imperial Rescript\n\nThe Imperial Rescript was received: \"This has been noted, the said Minister must bear the whole responsibility, and let him zealously and satisfactorily manage the Company in order to protect this source of profit.\"\n\nKuang Hsü, 27th year, 5th moon, 26th day.\n\n## Annexure No. 11\n\n### Viceroy Yuan Chi Kai's Memorial impeaching Chang Yi Mow\n\nHaving carefully found out that the Kaiping Coal Mines and Chingwangtao port were formerly sold to an English Company by the degraded official Chang Yi privately, I memorialized the throne, and have received the Imperial order to strictly order Chang Yi to make entire restoration as marked by the Vermillion Pen.\n\nLast year, on the 30th of the 10th moon, I repeated the Memorial in obedience to the Imperial order for the limit of two months time, and strictly ordered the degraded official to make restoration immediately, and without further delay. Up to the 1st part of the 1st moon this year, the limited time having expired without any reply coming, a despatch was sent to hurry him up, and the degraded official tried to hide his follies. According to his replies to various points they are much different from the Memorial. He has agreed with W. S. Nathan, an English citizen of the Company upon six articles, as follows:\n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | That the English Company shall in no way encroach on the territorial land of the Chinese Government and the power of Chinese local officials. |\n| 2 | That all coal duties, taxes, li-kin, and royalties will be paid by the Company. |\n| 3 | The proceedings and statements of yearly accounts of the Company shall be reported to the Viceroy of Chihli. The laws and regulations which have been enacted by the Chinese Government will be duly conformed by the Company. |\n\nPage 402", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415737, "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": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 432, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "# 429\n\n**This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.**\n\n4\n\nCorporation; but the Railway Administration shall have the option of settling exchange with that Bank at any date or dates within six months previous to any due dates for the repayment of interest and principal.\n\nAfter payment of interest and repayment of principal of the loan for the current year, the Railway Administration shall deposit with the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation in Tientsin any surplus of the net revenue of the extension for that year up to the amount required to pay the following year's instalments of interest on the loan, the rate of interest on this deposit to be allowed at the Bank's rates for current accounts or fixed deposits, as the case may be, to be arranged.\n\n## Art. 13\nThe Chinese Government hereby unconditionally undertakes to pay the principal of the loan and the interest on the loan on the due dates fixed therefor.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey,-(Received January 11, 1908.)**\n\n(No. 553.) Sir,\n\nPeking, November 26, 1907.\n\nWith reference to my despatch No. 529 of the 12th November, I have the honour to report that the Wai-wu Pu have practically carried out their engagement recorded in my previous despatch to bring the draft Agreement for the Hangchow Railway up to the point reached by the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Agreement. In order to facilitate the execution of this promise Liang Tajen asked Mr. Bland to recast his draft so as to make it word for word the same as the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Agreement in all its essential points.\n\nThis has now been done, in English and Chinese, and although the formality of initialling the document has not been gone through, it may be considered to stand now on the same footing as the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze contract.\n\nI regret to state, however, that no material progress has been made towards signature. Overtures have been made to Mr. Bland to accept another loan contract instead, the suggestion being that if the Corporation will give up their claims in Chekiang the Chinese Government would take a loan from them for the Wuchang-Changsha section of the Wuchang-Canton Railway. Putting other considerations aside, this proposal is not practical on account of the engagements already existing with regard to railways in Hupei, and the complication of French participation in such a loan.\n\nAnother suggestion made to me indirectly by Yuan Shih K'ai was that the Corporation should accept a loan agreement for a line from Peking to Jehol and beyond, to connect at some undefined point with the Siberian Railway.\n\nI have turned a deaf ear to any proposal of this nature, and have continued to urge strongly on the Wai-wu Pu the necessity of carrying out the Chekiang Agreement as it stands without seeking for alternative solutions of the question.\n\nDuring the past few days rumours have been current that the Chinese Government have determined to take up a firmer position against provincial agitation, but there is no reason to believe that a settlement is yet within sight. The native press continues to clamour for the defence of the people's rights, and to denounce the subserviency of the Wai-wu Pu to a foreign Minister. The Government is warned in the most inflammatory language that if they yield in this matter, claims for concessions long since abandoned will be revived; that the spirit of the nation will be broken if the custodians of the country give away to foreigners the rights which are the people's. Exasperation will follow, leading to anti-dynastic risings, assassinations, &c.\n\nA perusal of such effusions leaves one in no doubt but that the Government has a grave problem to face. But I am by no means satisfied that they cannot deal with the situation if they choose, by displaying firmness for a few consecutive days, and I have to-day warned the Wai-wu Pu once more of the serious dangers they are incurring by allowing the agitation to continue.\n\nI was assured by the Grand Secretary, Na T'ung, that the policy of the Chinese Government remained unchanged. They would carry out their obligations, but must be given time to pacify the feelings which had been aroused. A representative deputation of the Chekiang and Kiangsu gentry was expected to arrive in Peking early in December, and the Government would then explain to them the true aspect of the case.\n\nI protested against this course of action as being unlikely to lead to a satisfactory issue, but was unable to obtain any other decision.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N.

These additions are being made by hard-headed business men who are not likely to invest their capital without counting the cost; but I shall speak of this later when I deal with Tairen.\n\nAn English merchant at Newchwang bitterly complained to me that on indenting for cotton goods on samples sent out from England he was informed in reply that the goods could not be supplied for a year or more, and then only at prices higher than quoted with the samples. I am forwarding with this Report samples of Japanese sheetings, which are finding great favour in Manchuria, owing, it is alleged, to the readiness with which they take the dye as compared with British or American manufactured goods, and I may mention here that I have good authority for stating that Japanese merchants, in order to capture the Manchurian market, not infrequently mix their own inferior cottons with English goods at, if not under, cost price.\n\nJapanese Railway to Tairen.\n\nI left Newchwang for Tairen at 8:40 p.m. of the 27th September, and arrived at 11:30 A.M. the following day; but, after accomplishing the 13 miles between Newchwang and Ta Shih Ch'iao on the main line, I had to wait at the latter from 9:25 P.M. till 1:46 A.M., when I caught the down, or, as it is called by the Japanese, the up train from Mukden. It is a somewhat weird experience to enter a railway carriage in the middle of the night and find nearly all the seats fully occupied with recumbent figures closely wrapped in white cotton blankets, which are such an eyesore to the British manufacturer of woollen goods. In each 2nd class carriage there was one, and in each 3rd class carriage two, Japanese railway guards fully armed, marked by wooden labels with the characters for \"escort's seat,\" but the men stood to attention the whole time. They were relieved at various stations. A third rail was being laid down in places to the standard gauge, and here and there the track was being widened for the double line to be constructed between Tairen and Mukden.\n\nTairen (Dalny).\n\nAn excellent view of Tairen and of Ta-lien Bay, along whose southern shore it is built, is obtained from the hills which run east and west behind the town. I had previously visited it as Dalny when in Russian hands, the administration quarter of the town, on high ground on the north-west side, was still uncompleted, and the harbour works were in course of construction. The administration quarter, which was built on a lavish scale, still remains the best part of the town, for, although a considerable part of the area laid down in the Russian plan has been and is being built over, the houses are inferior, many of them mere lath and plaster hidden by cemented exteriors. The passenger station is situated near the administration quarter, but the railway opening out into numerous sidings is continued through a cutting, over which a rather pretentious brick-cemented bridge is almost completed, to the docks and wharves. The population was given to me by a Japanese friend, formerly Consul-General at Shanghai, who did much to satisfy my inquisitiveness, as 30,000, of which 20,000 and 10,000 were Japanese and Chinese respectively; but Mr. Parlett, His Britannic Majesty's Vice-Consul, discounts the total by about 5,000. Streets on the Asiatic side of Russia are notoriously bad, and, although those in the administration quarter may be described as fairly good, Japan has had neither the time nor the money to put this part of her house in order. Tairen is still too evidently in a state of transition, and it will be some time before the town can be made presentable to a European eye. With the exception of four small Chinese hand-worked bean mills, there are as yet no industrial undertakings in Tairen; but a large bean mill jointly Japanese (Mitsui Bussan Kaisha) and Chinese (from Newchwang) with foreign machinery is in course of construction. That the Chinese are from Newchwang, and bean-mill owners there is a significant fact. The foreigners resident in Tairen are fourteen all told. There are two British firms, one which has laid claim to be British, but has failed to satisfy the proper authorities in Tairen and elsewhere in Manchuria of its genuineness, and a German; but they do little business, and are more steamer agents than merchants. The town is full of small Japanese and Chinese retail shops, but genuine wholesale Japanese traders number less than a dozen. Regulations of the Kwantung Government now in force do not tend to encourage foreigners: they fail to provide for fixity of tenure, without which firms are unlikely to start business, and, although the authorities profess that there need be no fear of ejectment, they decline to put it in writing. Nor is any encouragement held out to the Chinese to take part in the development of the port, for the Japanese authorities, without any warning, may and do demolish Chinese houses on the ground that they are insanitary. Under such conditions Chinese traders are scarcely likely to take up their residence there. My Japanese friend informed me that Japanese banks and traders are treated in exactly the same way, and an endeavour is being made to have the Regulations revised and amended.\n\nOn the day of my arrival in Tairen there were four steamers outside the breakwater and one large British steamer—the \"Indravelli,\" of Liverpool—two smaller Japanese steamers, and a number of small craft and tow boats alongside the wharves. The quay is lined with corrugated-iron godowns surrounded by railway sidings, and a double track on which laden trucks were standing occupied the quay itself. In a word, there is every possible railway facility for the shipping and discharging of cargo from and to the interior of Manchuria. But, as in Newchwang, times were dull; the godowns were far from full; and the extent of the trade since the opening of the custom-house on the 1st July may be gauged by the amount of revenue collected. In July it was 14,000 Haikwan taels, in August 7,000, and the September collection up to date was poor; but, as I have already stated, Tairen is in a state of transition, and it is yet too early to judge of its effect on the trade of Manchuria. It has the natural advantage of being open to steamer traffic all the year round, while Newchwang is closed by ice for four months. It has the railway facilities for handling cargo not possessed by Newchwang, for at the latter port cargo has to cross or ascend the river to be forwarded by the Chinese or Japanese lines, and transit costs money; and although railway freight to stations south of Mukden is heavier by the Japanese lines from Tairen than from Newchwang, the cost of transit mentioned above must go far to discount the difference, while the equality of freight to places north of Mukden, where the great producing and distributing centres are situated, is strongly in favour of Tairen. It is true that the Imperial Railways of North China are competing successfully with the Japanese line from Newchwang to Mukden; and had the British Concession on the north bank of the Liao been acquired, steamers could have loaded and landed their cargoes from and into godowns close to the Chinese railway which desired the right of way into the proposed Concession when the negotiations were being carried on in 1899.\n\nThe Japanese are continuing the work of afforesting the hills south of the town which was begun by the Russians, and on the lower slopes the pines have attained a height of over 6 feet. There are extensive nurseries full of pine saplings raised from Japanese seed which were being carefully tended by Chinese under Japanese superintendence, and there is an experimental farm in which dry rice was being treated in separate plots with different chemical manures, the other cereals being the millets known as Holcus sorghum and Setaria italica so common throughout Manchuria. Of fibre plants, hemp (Cannabis sativa), abutilon hemp (Abutilon Avicennæ), and cotton from American seed were all being tried, and the Japanese Superintendent informed me that the cotton was showing signs of being an excellent crop. The sugar beet was also a success. Several varieties of cabbages, turnips, taros, and melons were also the subject of experiment; the brinjal or egg-plant gave poor results, and a Japanese capsicum splendid results; peppermint showed a fine bushy growth; and there was a plot of young mulberries which in Japan are manured with macerated bean-cake. A tuber from Japan called \"Gobo,\" which is unknown to China, was also being cultivated. Flowers of many kinds and varieties were being tried; but the soil of the Kwantung territory is undoubtedly the poorest, as it is the stoniest, part of the Liaotung Peninsula and of Manchuria generally.\n\nThe accompanying plan of the town and harbour was issued by the Civil Administration Office of Tairen during the present year.*\n\nTairen to Chemulpo.\n\nTairen is an expensive place, as indeed is the whole of Manchuria at the present time, and it may be a slight exaggeration to say that a house proprietor is able to recoup his initial outlay by a couple of years' rental. My room with board at a Japanese hotel cost 10 dollars a-day, and as I found that I would have to wait about a week for a steamer to Antung, I resolved to take the first ship to Chemulpo and proceed by rail to Seoul, Ping-yang, and Hsin Yi Chou on the left bank of the Yalu River, 14 miles below the City of Antung, which lies on the right bank and in Manchuria.\n\n* Not reproduced.\n\n[28137-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415763, "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": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 458, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "455 \n\n16 \n\nopened at Harbin, Manchuli, or Pogranitebnaia, but an immediate settlement of the dispute regarding the duty on goods coming into Manchuria by rail was anticipated when a Commission would set about defining the 10 radius from the railway station. With the station as the centre, much of the Railway Settlement will lie outside the circumference of the circle. \n\nThere are said to be 2,000 railway guards in Harbin, and I witnessed a parade of six sotnias of cavalry. A naturalized Russian, a native of Scotland, informed me that there are 80,000 troops in Irkutsk, 60,000 at Chita, and 300,000 along the Amur and in the Primorsk, and he hinted that they were being kept in readiness for the next trouble in China, and that their objective would be Mongolia. He further stated that a special grant of 32,000,000 roubles had been made for military purposes at Irkutsk, and that, as there was a fear that the Primorsk Province was now more easily assailable, the long-projected railway from Stretensk along the north bank of the Amur to Khabarovsk was being seriously taken in hand.\n\nJapan is playing in Manchuria the game which has proved so successful in Corea. She is allowing, if not abetting, the flooding of the country with undesirables, her object being to establish paramount interests and influence in these three provinces. Nobody who knows anything of Manchuria believes for a moment that the result of the late war has ended the struggle for the mastery in that country. It is to either Russia or Japan a land flowing with milk and honey. Had Japan secured by Treaty the line from Kuan-ch'eng-tzu to Harbin, a severe blow would have been dealt to Russia, for Harbin is the strategic key to the whole of Northern Manchuria. That she will hand over that key to Japan seems most unlikely, and any disposal of the line could only be due to the direst necessity. Poverty often drives people and nations to extremities, but Russia will be poor indeed when she agrees to part with it.* \n\nReturn to Mukden. Proposed Extension of Chinese Railway from Hsin Min Fu to Tsitsihar. \n\nI left Harbin at 10 P.M. on the 15th October, and arrived at K'uan-ch'eng-tzu at 8 A.M. next morning. From the latter to Mukden, which I reached at 5.30 A.M. on the 18th, the run was 12 hours. On the 18th I again called on the Governor, who talked of the projected extension of the Imperial Railways of North China from Hsin Min Fu to Fa-ku-men and Tsitsihar, of which a preliminary survey was then being made. His Excellency seemed to think that Russia had now no say in the matter of the proposed extension, but the attitude of Japan may have to be reckoned with, as the extension would undoubtedly affect in no small degree the South Manchurian Railway. Even now it is a curious fact that the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha are sending beans from Mukden by the Chinese instead of by the Japanese railway to Newchwang.\n\n## The Mukden--Hsin Min Fu Line\n\nAs soon as China acquired by purchase the line from Mukden station to Hsin Min Fu, the engineers of the Imperial Railways of North China at once began to widen the gauge, and the work was completed in eight days. The construction of an iron girder bridge across the Liao was also taken in hand, and the piers are already well advanced. The bridge will be much higher than the old Japanese bridge, and will probably allow the passage of junks without having to unship their masts. This somewhat laborious process was taking place when I passed over the bridge. At present the Imperial Railways of North China utilize a part of the Japanese railway station, but they are building a new station, and putting up sheds a short distance to the west of the Japanese line.\n\nI left Mukden at 7.40 A.M. on the 19th, and, spending the night of the 20th at Tien-tsin, I returned to Peking on the evening of the 21st October. At Tien-tsin I heard that a German firm there had secured the contract for a Chinese light railway from Tsitsihar or Pu-k'uei, the capital of the Hei-lung-chiang Province, southwards to the Russian line, a distance of 17 miles.\n\n## Is the Trade of Manchuria Depressed, and why?\n\nWhen I visited Manchuria in March 1906 the war had come to an end, and Russia and Japan were withdrawing their armies from the field. During the war the trade of Manchuria, with the exception of supplies for the belligerents, languished, and during the evacuation railway transport within the occupied zone was little available for commercial purposes in face of military requirements; but carts and junks, by which, previous to the introduction of railways into Manchuria, the whole internal trade of the country was carried out, continued to be used when not commandeered by the two armies, and a certain volume of trade was thus maintained, and was augmented by the Imperial Railways of North China from Chinwangtao and Tien-tsin, and by the Chinese Eastern Railway from Vladivostock. Great expectations were entertained that on the cessation of hostilities there would be a large demand for foreign goods in Manchuria, and extraordinary preparations were made to meet it; but in my Report on the Foreign Trade of China for 1906 I endeavoured to show that the heavy importations in 1905 did not justify the expectations that had been formed in regard to the consuming capacity of the country. It is perfectly true that the belligerents brought large sums of money into Manchuria, and that much of that money remains unspent; but it must be remembered that the country, especially in the north, is sparsely peopled, and that its requirements in the shape of foreign goods, if annually increasing, are somewhat limited. Although trade is now showing signs of recovery in the chief distributing centres, there still exist many obstacles to its free development.\n\nWith the war came war prices, and these are even now too high. Producers made money during the war, and they still try to dictate terms to buyers. Time will, however, rectify this condition of things, especially when the farmers and middlemen realize that Manchuria's great export, beans and their products, can be purchased in the Valley of the Yang-tsze.\n\nThe currency of Manchuria is in a state of chaos. In the south and as far north as K'uan ch'eng-tzu (Chang-ch'un Fu), the northern terminus of the South Manchurian Railway, subsidiary silver coins known as \"small money\" constitute the currency. All transactions, great and small, are based on this currency, which is at a discount of nearly 20 per cent. on its face value. Silver dollars, whether Mexican, British, or Chinese, are scarce, while Yokohama specie and Russo-Chinese Bank dollar notes (the former issued by the Newchwang branch of the Bank) are common, but at a discount of some 4 per cent. vis-à-vis the silver dollar. To add to the confusion, the South Manchurian Railway Company recently issued an order that from the 1st October of the present year only gold yen would be accepted by the railway, and dollar notes issued by the Chinese Hu Pu (or Government) Bank are now being put into circulation. In Northern Manchuria roubles (silver and paper) and silver and bronze copeck pieces are the currency, and no other coins are accepted by the railway between K'uan-ch'eng-tzu and Harbin on the Chinese Eastern Railway.\n\nIn the city of K'uan-ch'eng-tzu subsidiary silver coins of the Kirin, Mukden, Canton, Nanking, Wuchang, and Tien-tsin mints are common; Mexican and Pei-yang (Tien-tsin) dollars are scarce; silver roubles are also in use; while rouble and dollar notes, Japanese war notes (gradually disappearing), and Kirin Government bank tiao (1 tiao about 40 cents) notes are all represented. \"Sycee,\" or shoes of silver, are also in use. With such diversity it can readily be imagined that, while the money-changer prospers, trade has great difficulties to contend with. A new dollar said to be better than the Pei-yang dollar has been coined at the Tien-tsin mint, and is held in readiness there for introduction into Manchuria. This has been done at the request of the Governor of Feng-tien.\n\nIf the currency of Manchuria is in a state of confusion, so is taxation. In the three provinces twenty-three different taxes, each having a separate name, are levied on goods of various classes. Mr. Oliver, the Commissioner of Chinese Customs, who was sent to Manchuria with the object of establishing custom-houses there, drew up a scheme for the taxation of goods between the marts opened by the Additional Agreement between China and Japan of the 22nd December, 1905, and it was put in force in the southern province of Feng-t'ien until the arrival of the present Governor, who at once raised objections to it, and has since introduced another system. By Mr. Oliver's scheme native produce carried from mart to mart paid 1 per cent. ad valorem at the first mart and 2 per cent. at destination—a total of 3¼ per cent.

That the presence of British gun-boats in force on the Canton waters has caused some public feeling is shown by articles in the native press of which two, cited by His Majesty's Consul at Wuhu, in the despatch copy of which I have the honour to inclose, may serve as a specimen. Their inflammatory character will show, without commentary, the dangerous tendency which is being provoked by the newspapers at the present time.\n\nFrom the reply of His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, which was telegraphed to you direct on the 23rd December, it appears, however, that there is no danger at present of a boycott being instituted.\n\nAs regards the question of vessels under Customs control, both the Admiral and His Majesty's Consul-General have signified their concurrence with my view that nothing is to be gained under present conditions by continuing to press this demand, provided the \"Sainam\" claim is paid and a satisfactory Chinese scheme is evolved. Mr. Mansfield, with the concurrence of Admiral Moore, suggests further that the threat to withdraw the Arms Ordinance in Hong Kong should now be made, if delay is experienced in effecting a settlement. I am, however, privately told by the Wai-wu Pu that the \"Sainam\" claim will be paid, and doubt if we should be justified yet in threatening a measure which would probably tend to increase the revolutionary strength of the provincials, rather than to assist the Central Government in bringing pressure to bear on the Viceroy.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\nJ.

Two passengers were killed and the losses in money, clothing, &c., were some 200 dollars.\n\nIt does not seem possible to me that your Excellency can entertain any doubt as to the necessity for the adoption of effective measures aiming at the suppression of these repeated outrages. No good results will, I am convinced, be obtained until an efficient patrol by water is established and the civil and military officials on land are compelled under pain of severe penalties to root out these desperadoes from their haunts on shore. In so far as the water patrol is concerned, His Majesty's Government have, through their Representatives, repeatedly urged upon the Imperial Chinese Government and previous Viceroys the advisability and necessity for placing properly manned cruisers of sufficient speed and armament under the control of the Imperial Maritime Customs to patrol the waterways and lend effective assistance in suppressing the bad characters which now infest them. The advice is good and is given in the best interests of the Provincial Government. I trust then that your Excellency will accept it in the spirit in which it is given and follow it.\n\nIt is my duty to ask you to secure the arrest of the pirates and the recovery of the property stolen in this case; failing the latter, I must hold the Provincial Government responsible for adequate compensation.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n(Signed)\nR.

The launch was returning from Yung-kee with eight silk boats in tow, and was pirated between Huang-niu-lan and Ma-ning. The pirates approached and attacked in two Chinese launches, the \"Wai Lee\" and \"Cheung Lee,\" of which they had previously taken possession, and I understand that a French launch, the \"Lee Hung,\" was also pirated by them. The robbers are said to have landed at Kou-kao-hou, near Sui-lam, and the booty secured from the \"Wing Fat\" and her tows amounted to over 10,000 taels, chiefly the proceeds of silk cocoons sold.\n\n(Translation.)\nViceroy of Canton to Consul-General Mansfield.\n\nCanton, November 13, 1907.\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 6th instant reporting the piracy of the British launch \"Wing Fat.\" The matter was reported to me first by the Commissioner of Customs, and instructions were at once issued for the speedy arrest of the pirates. The Commander of the torpedo-boat \"Lei Teng,\" patrolling that section of the river, was also deprived of his command, but his services retained until the pirates are captured. The Colonel and Magistrate of the Shun-tak district have now reported the capture of two of the pirates, viz., Ch'en Shih-jung and Mai Tien-kai, and stated that they are being strictly interrogated to discover the hiding-place of the ringleaders and their confederates, and that when this is ascertained measures will be taken to secure their capture. On the receipt of this intelligence I again issued strict orders to the officials concerned to secure the arrest of the whole gang, punish them, and recover the property stolen for restoration to the owners.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nPage 32", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415871, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 36, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "(Translation.) Sir,\n\n4\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nViceroy of Canton to Consul-General Mansfield.\n\nCanton, November 16, 1907. TAOTAI WEN, of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, has informed me that you told him that the American launch \"Hong Fu\" had been pirated in the neighbourhood of Waichow, that lives had been lost, and that you asked me to appoint an official to make arrests and deal with the matter properly. I at once telegraphed to Prefect Ch'en, of Waichow, and Taotai Wang, in charge of police affairs in the East River country, to find out in what military and civil district the piracy took place, and to set a limit of ten days to civil and military officials and officers of the land and water police to discover and arrest the pirates concerned, recover and return their booty, and report by telegraph, in detail, the circumstances of the occurrence for my information. I have now received a telegram from the Prefect of Waichow, as follows:\n\n**\n\nL\n\nThe master, Kuo A-t'ao, of the non-towing launch 'Hung Fu,' flying the British flag, and plying between Canton and Waichow, reports that on the 10th November, while on his way from Canton to Waichow, his launch was pirated by seven pirates disguised as passengers. At 10 P.M., when the launch had reached Shachiao Tsui, in Chin-hua, in the district of Pok-lo, the pirates, intimidating the people on board by arms, plundered the boat of money and goods and shot two passengers. They then landed and escaped. The losses amounted to 65 dol. 50 c., together with clothing, &c., worth 40 dollars, of which he presented a list. I summoned passengers on the launch and made inquiries of them. They stated that on the day in question there were only some twenty passengers, male and female. After the second watch the pirates pretended to fight and engaged in a struggle with one another. A sailor of the navy, Liu Mao-sheng, going to Waichow on business, and two Hunanese, happened to be on board, and knew that a piracy was about to be committed. Liu Mao-sheng then, with the two Hunanese passengers, came forward and upset one of the pirates, but their fellow passengers simply looked on and gave no assistance, with the result that he was slain by a shot from one of the pirates, as was also one of the Hunanese. After plundering the launch they brought it along shore, landed, and escaped. It appears that the place of the piracy was distant from the station of a sailing gun-boat only about a mile, but the launch did not whistle. Afterwards, hearing the sound of the firing, it went to the launch's assistance, but the latter had already been put along the shore, with the result that the pirates had already escaped. A pursuit proved futile. I am instructing the Kueishan Magistrate to speedily hold an inquest and bury the bodies of the slain, and am also strictly ordering the authorities, civil and military, to make secret investigations, arrest the offenders, and punish them.\n\nI am strictly ordering the Pok-lo Magistrate to do so, and to consult with the military officials and officers of steam and sailing gun-boats of the locality for the loaning of braves and runners, to offer rewards and purchase information, and to request the civil and military authorities of Lien-feng Hsien immediately to make secret investigation with a view to the arrest of the pirates, every one of those concerned in this case to be arrested within the limit of ten days, booty to be discovered and returned, and a Report to be made. I am also instructing all the officials concerned, civil and military, to arrest and punish them after trial.\n\nCompliments.\n\n(No. 60.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Mansfield to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nCanton, December 1, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report upon the present state of the negotiations with the Provincial Government attendant upon Admiral Sir A. W. Moore's visit to Canton in connection with the suppression of piracy in these waters.\n\nCopy and translation of the Viceroy's proposed scheme, to which reference is made in your telegram No. 52 of the 12th instant, is inclosed; also copies of two memoranda thereon, prepared respectively by Mr. Paul H. King, Commissioner of Customs, and Lieutenant-Commander R. E. Vaughan, Senior Naval Officer on the West River.\n\nThe Viceroy's proposals generally are unsatisfactory, and notably in the following respects:\n\nArticle 1. Extent of Waterways. This is given as 230 miles from Feng Ch'uan to Chu Tou Shan; the actual distance is 145 miles, and the total extent, Kuangsi excluded, is over 600 miles.\n\nThe Viceroy explained in conversation that the patrol of the particular stretch of water mentioned was merely intended as a commencement — an explanation I consider of small value.\n\nAdditional Four Fast Cruisers.—There is no evidence of any intention to place these craft under customs control with foreign officers; their speed is also inadequate.\n\nArticles 2 and 3. System of Patrol.—This, as the remarks upon Article 1 will have shown, is valueless.\n\nArticle 4. Pursuit of Pirates.—In view of Article 1, the assistance expected from the patrolling launches cannot take effect along the whole of the waterways. Further, there is no statement made of what the measures to insure increased activity on the part of the military on shore are to be. Briefly, the soldiers are to go in pursuit, and, if they fail, are to be liable to the severest penalties. Nothing is said of the responsibility of the civil territorial authorities, or of their liability to pay compensation.\n\nArticle 5. Landing and Embarkation.—There is under the Inland Waters Regulations no limit to these places.\n\nArticle 6. Times of Arrival and Departure of Launches.—The proposal is not feasible in tidal waters.\n\nArticle 7. Article 8.\n\nRoutes of Launches.—The routes are all well known.\n\nExamination of Launches en route.—There appears to be no objection to this, provided there is no protracted delay.\n\nArticle 9. Guards on Launches.—This is objectionable. I was prepared during Viceroy Chou Fu's time to give the system a trial on his urgent and repeated requests, and because I had some faith in his bona fides. Conditions have changed,\n\nArticle 10. Search for Arms.—The establishment of examination stations at important shipping centres recommends itself (see Lieutenant-Commander Vaughan's Memorandum).\n\nTo summarize, the scheme as a whole is worthless; nor have I the slightest belief that, even if it were otherwise, it would, without some foreign control, be efficiently executed. The efforts of the local authorities in these matters are never more than a \"flash in the pan.\" Under pressure when outrages occur they exert themselves to some extent; a period of quietude follows, and they are lulled into a sense of false security.\n\nThe Admiral paid a ceremonial call on the Viceroy on the 19th instant, the visit being returned the following day, when, by previous arrangement, the discussion on the piracy question was held. I had the honour, in my telegrams Nos. 59 and 60 of the 20th and 21st instant, to report to you the unsatisfactory result of this interview, and now inclose a Memorandum of the conversation prepared by Mr. Vice-Consul Sly. On the 21st instant the Viceroy sent me a despatch, copy and translation inclosed, recording his refusal stated at the interview to place the additional four fast launches under customs control with foreign officers. The same day I received from him copy of the telegram from the Wai-wa Pu, as embodied in my telegram to you No. 60, in which you are misrepresented as having withdrawn your demand for the employment of foreign officers. On the 23rd November the Admiral addressed to the Viceroy his despatch No. 222, copy of which his Excellency is sending to you, based upon your telegram No. 60 of the previous day, dispatched after the receipt of his telegram of the 21st instant and my Nos. 59 and 60. Copy and translation of the Viceroy's reply, concerning which I had the honour to telegraph to you on the 28th ultimo, No. 62, is forwarded herewith. Copy both of the despatch and telegram have also been sent to the Admiral under date the 28th November, copy inclosed.\n\nA.\n\nViewing the whole situation, I cannot but regard it as in the highest degree unsatisfactory, while there is evidence of gross bad faith on the part of either the Imperial or Provincial Government, or both.\n\nThe demand to place the additional four fast launches under Customs control with foreign officers has been indignantly refused. The argument that no responsibility attaches to the Provincial Government to pay compensation for piratical attacks upon British ships is firmly maintained, and in its place there is an indefinite offer of a compassionate allowance to the widow of Dr. Macdonald. You are misrepresented as having withdrawn your demand for the employment of foreign officers on the proposed launches under Customs control, while neither in the Viceroy's scheme nor in conversation\n\n[2846 h-4]\n\nC", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415938, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 103, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "Page 100\n\n0.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government\n\nCHINA TRADE.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\nREC'D 14 MAR 08: [February 8]\n\nSECTION 2.\n\n[4363]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n(No. 593.)

The methods pursued at Antung bear a close resemblance to those which were practised at an earlier stage in Corea, and can scarcely be justified on ordinary principles of honesty and fair dealing.\n\nOn the other hand, it is evident that the Japanese case has, as Mr. Russell observes, been put in a worse light than it really deserves by prejudiced observers, and it must be remembered that at Harbin and other places in North Manchuria the Russians also acquired large tracts for railway purposes, to the retention of which the Chinese are understood to be equally opposed.\n\nI am sending a copy of this despatch and its inclosure to His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio.\n\nI have, &c.

Mr. Wang Lien Tung was a landowner whose land the Japanese acquired, and therefore his statements must naturally be taken as ex parte, as also those of the Chinese officials, who are inclined to state the case in a way unfavourable to the Japanese.\n\nThere is, secondly, the Japanese account of the matter, as I have heard it from the lips of Mr. Miho, the Acting Japanese Vice-Consul.\n\nFurther, there is the evidence of the foreigners resident in Antung.\n\nIn the first place, the Commissioner of Customs, Mr. Palen, has taken considerable pains in collecting facts, and he in the main corroborates the Chinese view of the case, in which he is also supported by the American Vice-Consul, Mr. Arnell. American view of the case is, however, in my opinion, strongly tinged by a pronounced anti-Japanese view of things.\n\nLastly, I have obtained certain information from members of the Danish Lutheran Mission, which latter may be regarded as unbiassed.\n\n12842 -2]\n\nPage 183\n\n[To be continued on the next page]\n\n...\n\nPage 100\n\n \n(To be continued)\n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415997, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 162, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nCHINA RAILWAYS.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[6157]\n\n(No. 21.)

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received February 22.)\n\nPeking, January 9, 1908.\n\nTHE Chekiang Railway question has continued to engross attention since my despatch No. 594 of the 24th December was written.\n\nOn the 27th December Mr. E. G. Hillier, the local agent of the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank, informed me of news received from his Shanghae house to the effect that the bank Compradore has been warned by the Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce that a boycott would be instituted against the bank and Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co., unless the Chekiang gentry got their way in the matter of this loan. The suggestion of a threat to boycott was further alleged to have emanated from persons in Peking, and to have been telegraphed down to Shanghae for consideration there.\n\nI received a similar report the following morning from His Majesty's Consul-General, and at once made written representations to the Wai-wu Pu in the letter, copy of which I have the honour to inclose*. In attributing the inspiration of this threat to official sources in the capital, I had in mind Sheng Hsuan Huai, whose interest lies entirely in wrecking the loan negotiations.\n\nIn a further note to Prince Ch'ing on the 31st December, I was able to give the name of the person who had delivered the threat at Shanghae, who turned out to be the Director of Telegraphs, a former subordinate of Sheng Hsuan Huai. In answering my strictures against the attitude of the governing classes in this crisis, the Prince repudiated the suggestion in the note of the 3rd instant, translation of which is inclosed.*\n\nAs nothing more has been heard of the suggested boycott, I have not pursued the matter further for the present, having discussed this aspect of the case at considerable length in my interview with the Vice-Presidents of the Wai-wu Pu on the 31st December.\n\nAt this interview I asked Liang Ta-jên what progress had been made with the provincial Delegates. He replied that they were now in a more reasonable frame of mind, but still wanted to keep the Chekiang Railway to themselves. They had proposed to Mr. Bland that the loan should be devoted to the redemption of the Luhan Railway. Another suggestion was that it should be reduced in amount; another that it should be subscribed for in toto by Chinese and the Agreement then be cancelled.\n\nI had heard all this from Mr. Bland, and told Mr. Liang that it was a mere waste of time for the Delegates to bring forward these alternative proposals. The draft Loan Agreement was considered just and reasonable by the Wai-wu Pu, and I meant to hold them to it.\n\nMr. Lien Fang then proposed that I could at least reconsider my decision regarding the signature of the Tien-tsin Yang-tsze Agreement. If this were signed and published a good effect would be produced. But they could not give me the assurance I asked for, namely, that the Chekiang Agreement would be signed on the same terms within any given time. They fully understood my reasons for wanting such an assurance, and would again put the matter before Prince Ching, on the understanding that a definite answer should be given me in a week's time.\n\nI had little confidence that the Prince would commit himself without further pressure, but felt, as I had the honour to report in my telegram No. 1 of the 2nd January, that the signature of the Tien-tsin-Yang-tsze Agreement could not be withheld much longer.\n\nOn that day (2nd January) I learnt privately from Liang Ta-jên that the Prince interview was still inactive, and that nothing was being done in preparation for my interview on the 7th January.\n\nI accordingly addressed his Highness a semi-official letter, copy of which is inclosed*, urging that no more time should be lost, and that a date should be fixed for signature.\n\n* Not printed.\n\n[2856 y-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416001, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 166, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "the railway being much higher than those paid by water-borne traffic. On the 26th December I received the Yu Chuan Pu's reply, intimating the establishment of the new Railway Department of that Board and the appointment of his Excellency Liang, who was empowered to deal with all questions arising out of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway's administration. Since that date I have had two interviews with his Excellency on the subject of li-kin. He states that the question is receiving his most serious attention, and that it is being actively discussed with the provincial authorities concerned, but that no definite arrangements are likely to be made until after introduction of the proposed new system of administration (i.e., delegation of the Board of Commissioners' powers to a Chinese Managing Director). He appears to recognize the serious responsibility which attaches to the Central Government in respect of this railway's finances, as well as its self-evident interest in its prosperity; nevertheless no steps have been taken to remedy a condition of affairs which shows absence of initiative and disregard of formal engagements on the part of the Chinese Government. As one-fifth of the profits of the line are the property of the profit-certificate holders, acquiescence by the Corporation in the present state of affairs would be a breach of trust; but so long as the Chinese Government (to whom the remainder of profits will accrue) does not see fit to apply the remedial measures, the Corporation's intervention and protests produce no appreciable result; so far as those remedial measures are concerned, the appointment of his Excellency Liang to be Director-General has effected no change in the situation.\n\nI append copy of a letter from the Corporation's Joint Agents at Shanghae, dated the 21st instant, the substance of which has been communicated to his Excellency Liang Shih-yi.

I described in my despatch No. 33 of the 21st January the position then reached in the Hangchow-Soochow-Ningpo Railway question.\n\nMr. Bland held a meeting with the three officials deputed to bring these negotiations to a conclusion on the 24th January, when suggestions were made to him materially modifying the terms granted by China in the Tien-tsin-Puk'ou Agreement.\n\nThese modifications involved the financing of a loan by the Corporation to the Board of Communications under Imperial guarantee, and with no provincial revenue as collateral security. In place of provincial revenues the surplus earnings of other Government railways were offered as security. The Engineer-in-chief was to be entitled simply \"Engineer,\" and he was to be appointed irrespective of the Corporation's approval. The line of railway was to be changed so as to run from Shanghae to Hangchow.\n\nMr. Bland gave them no encouragement in thinking that such radical changes could be effected, yet at the ensuing meeting on the 28th January, they went further and wanted to eliminate the clause regarding the Auditor, contending that, as the railway was to be purely Chinese, the accounts would be kept in the Chinese language.\n\nMr. Bland informed them that he saw no prospect of arriving at a settlement along these lines, but agreed to receive from them a written draft embodying their proposals.\n\nThese proved so divergent from the terms of the Tien-tsin P'uk'ou Agreement that Mr. Bland, with my approval, has informed the Wai-wu Pu in the letter copy of which is inclosed that no such modifications can be accepted.\n\nThe New Year holidays are now stopping all but urgent business, so no development can be anticipated for some days. The interval will doubtless not be wasted by the provincial leaders in trying to revive public feeling against the loan.\n\nAs regards the attempted boycott at Shanghae, I received on the 23rd January from His Majesty's Consul-General a despatch, copy of which is inclosed, describing\n\nBut indications are not wanting in the native press that the spirit of opposition is not extinguished, as will be seen from the extracts included in the monthly summary.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J.

Brederode, the Secretary of the Legation. So far as Lappa is concerned, the Portuguese claim is based largely upon an opinion expressed by Sir Robert Hart in 1887, but the Inspector-General of Customs was dealing with the question from a fiscal rather than a national point of view, and his views would scarcely be accepted as binding upon the Chinese Government, who, indeed, seem to have rejected them at the time.\n\nM. Brederode's arguments with regard to the extent of the \"dependencies\" of Macao would, I fear, carry still less conviction to the minds of the Chinese, and, in this connection, I would invite your attention to Sir John Walsham's despatch No. 76 of the 9th November, 1887, which contains a very interesting and instructive account of the negotiations which preceded the Portuguese Treaty of the 1st December of that year.\n\nIt was with the greatest reluctance, and only because there was no other means of obtaining the consent of Portugal to the opium legislation inaugurated in that year at Hong Kong, that the Chinese Government eventually agreed to the introduction of the word \"dependencies\" in the Lisbon Protocol, but when the Portuguese negotiator afterwards attempted in his Treaty to give concrete expression to the vagueness of the term by defining the limits of Macao in the sense indicated by M. Brederode, he was obliged to abandon the task as impracticable, and there is no reason to believe that either the central or local authorities would, in the present state of Chinese feeling, be more disposed to compromise territorial claims now than they were twenty years ago when the consciousness of nationality had not yet made itself felt.\n\nFrom informal conversations which I have had on the subject with his Excellency Tong Shoa-yi, who is himself a native of the locality and has an intimate knowledge of the conditions obtaining at Macao, I am not very sanguine that much can be done at present to effect a complete adjustment of the vital differences which separate Portugal and China in this question. A modus vivendi which will tide over matters until the irritation arising out of the \"Tatsu Maru\" case has calmed down, and a more favourable opportunity presents itself for arriving at a permanent settlement.\n\nActing upon the suggestion contained in the last paragraph of your telegram No. 91 of the 23rd instant, I sounded the Wai-wu Pu this afternoon as to whether mediation on our part would be acceptable to the Board.\n\nLiang Ta-jên, the only Minister present, accepted the proposal in very good part, and said that he personally would gladly welcome our friendly intervention, but that he would have to consult his colleagues before giving a definite reply.\n\nHe added that feeling ran very high on both sides at present, and that there was a disposition to view every move with suspicion. Delimitation afforded, he thought, the only prospect of a solution.\n\nI enclose a tracing of Macao and the neighbourhood, which may be of some slight assistance in elucidating the question at issue.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ.

Sir,\n\nYOUR Excellency has made repeated verbal representations to the Board with reference to the stationing of over 100 soldiers by the Viceroy at Canton at Lao Wang Ho Shan (Wung Kum) near the customs station at Kung Pei (Lappa) and requested that, in accordance with the second Article of the Treaty, as the delimitation of the boundaries at this place had not yet been concluded the Viceroy should be directed to telegraph to withdraw the troops. The Board thereupon telegraphed to the Viceroy calling for a Report on the matter and are now in receipt of the following reply:-\n\n\"Lao Wang Ho Shan (Wung Kum), also called the Island of Hêng Ch'iu (Hêng Kin), is situated to the south-west of Shih Tzu Mên (Che Tze Men). East of Hêng Ch'in, across the strait, is Chiu Ao Shan (Kieou Ngo Chan). North of Hêng Ch'in, and separated from it by the sea, is Wa Kang Ling, and still further north beyond Wa Kang Ling are the two small islands known as Ma Liu Chou, consisting of two islands known respectively as the large and the small island, the former lying to the west and the latter to the east. It is on this small island that the customs station of Lappa is situated. Both these islands are within the jurisdiction of Hsiang Shan Hsien and under the regulations hitherto in force the Sub-Prefect of Chien Shan used to station a detachment of the troops under his command there for police purposes. As I am at present engaged in the reorganization of the Police Administration I gave special instructions to the Sub-Prefect of Chien Shan to ascertain the position of the old military post existing in 1887 and station additional troops there in accordance with the provision contained in the second Article of the Treaty that 'so long as the delimitation of the boundaries is not concluded everything with respect to them shall remain as at present without addition, diminution, or alteration by either of the Parties.'\"\n\nThe Board have the honour to observe that the second Article of the Treaty of 1887 between China and Portugal provides: \"So long as the delimitation of the boundaries is not concluded everything with respect to them shall remain as at present without addition, diminution, or alteration by either of the Parties.\" The islands near the customs station of Lappa are under the jurisdiction of Hsiang Shan Hsien and the stationing of troops there by the Sub-Prefect of Chien Shan was in accordance with the practice existing in 1887, at the time when the Treaty was concluded, and under that Treaty no alteration should be made until the delimitation of the boundaries has been concluded. The instructions issued by the Viceroy, in pursuance of his scheme for the reorganization of the police system, that troops should be stationed at the old military post were, therefore, in accordance with Treaty and the Board are unable to order the withdrawal of the troops.\n\nIn sending this note for your Excellency's information I avail, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nPrince CHING.\n\nPeking, 34th year, 4th month, 23rd day (May 22, 1908).\n\n(Translation.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nWai-wu Pu to Baron Sendal.\n\nIN their note of the 18th instant, replying to a communication from your Excellency, the Board had the honour to state that as the place near Kung-pei (Lappa) where China has stationed troops was already a military station at the time when the Treaty of 1887 between China and Portugal was concluded they could not order the withdrawal of the troops.\n\nI am now in receipt of the following telegram from the Viceroy at Canton :---- \"The Treaty of 1887 between China and Portugal provides that so long as the delimitation of the boundaries is not concluded, everything in respect of them shall continue as at present without addition, diminution, or alteration by either of the Parties. Since the conclusion of the Treaty, however, Portugal has repeatedly made alterations in the boundaries--always in the form of additions. Prior to Kuang-hsü 28 (1897-8) the boundary extended to Stui Keng-wei in Macao, and Wang Hsia, and other villages, seven in all, in San Pa Mên, paid grain tax in Hsiang Shan Hsien. After this date the Portuguese authorities in Macao compelled them to pay rent.\n\n\"Of recent years the Portuguese authorities have required fishing boats anchoring in the river at Wan Tzû to obtain permits under pain of detention and fines.\n\n\"The river at Yin Kêng has long been an anchorage for Chinese gunboats but recently Portuguese gunboats have forced their way there to make investigations. At the beginning of this month three oyster boats belonging to Tung Kuan Hsien arrived there; the Portuguese ordered them to pay fees for a permit, and on this demand being refused on the ground that it was contrary to the regulations hitherto in force, suddenly detained the boats and arrested the crews.\n\n\"The Portuguese are at present erecting buildings and constructing additional barracks at Chiu Ao (Colowan),\n\n\"Formerly floating marks (buoys) were placed in the middle of the river between Macao and Wan Tzu, but after the Tatsu Maru' affair the Portuguese removed these\n\nPage ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416961, "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": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 287, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "4\n\nbuoys to the Wan Tzu bank, and have placed additional buoys in the sea beyond Chi T'ou Shan,\n\n\"All these acts are flagrant breaches of the Treaty, and I have the honour to request that the Portuguese Minister be asked to put a stop to them.”\n\nI have the honour to remind your Excellency that the second Article of the 1887 Treaty between China and Portugal provided that \"so long as the delimitation of the boundaries is not concluded, everything in respect to them shall continue as at present without addition, diminution, or alteration by either of the parties.\" The Board have on several occasions protested against the repeated alterations made by Portugal in respect of the boundaries existing in 1887.\n\nThe facts now reported by the Viceroy at Canton that barracks are being constructed at Chin Ao (Colowan), that the Portuguese have on their own authority removed the buoys in the middle of the river between Macao and Wan Tzú and have placed other buoys in the sea off Chi Tou Shan are all contrary to Treaty,\n\nThe Viceroy at Canton is urging the Administration of Macao (Ao Mên Chêng Ting) to carry out their Treaty obligations, and I have now the honour to request that your Excellency will ask the Portuguese Government to at once put a stop to the construction of the barracks, remove the buoys, and refrain from arresting the oyster boats, so that the requirements of the Treaty may be complied with and friendly relations preserved.\n\nAwaiting the honour of a reply, I avail, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by M. Brederode.\n\nPrince CHING.\n\nSON Excellence le Baron de Sendal est allé, le 21 Avril, au Wai-wu Pu et a demandé à son Excellence Mr. Lien Fang s'il était vrai que la Chine eût l'intention de mettre des soldats à Lappa. Son Excellence Lien Fang lui répondit catégorique-ment et à plusieurs reprises: \"Il n'y a rien ! Il n'y a rien de cela !\" Et pourtant, le 22, il y avait déjà des soldats Chinois à Lappa!\n\nAprès cela, toutes les fois que le Baron de Sendal est allé au Wai-wu Pu (le 28 Avril, le 1er Mai, le 5 Mai, et le 8 Mai) réclamer contre cette violation du statu quo et aussi contre ce débarquement de soldats à Vong-Cam, leurs Excellences Na Tong Yen Shih Kai et Lien Fang, ont toujours affirmé qu'ils n'en savaient rien, qu'ils allaient demander au Vice-roi de Canton s'il l'avait fait et pourquoi, &c.\n\nEt cela dure depuis le 21 Avril.\n\nL'Ile de Vong-Cam, comme celle de D. João (Macarira), a été toujours considérée comme dépendance de Macau (vide p. 69 du Livre Blanc de 1888).\n\nQuant à Lappa, Sir Robert Hart, dans une dépêche à Thomaz de Souza Rosa, négociateur du Traité de 1887, dépêche datée du 22 Septembre, 1887, lui disait: \"Je ne doute pas que la question de Lappa soit maintenant prise en considération\"; et dans le projet de Convention Fiscale, qui accompagnait cette dépêche, Sir Robert Hart insérait l'Article suivant (p. 13 du Livre Blanc)-\n\nL'Article 15. La Chine permet que le Portugal occupe, fasse usage, et gouverne l'île connue sous le nom de Lappa, dans laquelle les Portugais ont eu anciennement occupation, et aussi les deux îlots appelés Malaochas, proche de l'Ile de Lappa, et cette occupation, usage, et gouvernement de Lappa, et des deux îlots ne prendra fin que si le Portugal cesse de prêter son assentiment à cette présente Convention à propos de l'opium.\"\n\nIl est vrai que Sir Robert Hart, après, n'a pu maintenir cet Article. Mais il n'en est pas moins vrai qu'à cette date-là il nous trouvait le droit de posséder et de gouverner Lappa, reconnaissant que nous y avions déjà eu des résidences.\n\nLe 1er Mars, 1887, Mr. James Duncan Campbell communiqua à son Excellence le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères à Lisbonne un télégramme envoyé par Sir Robert Hart pour établir les bases du Traité. L'Article 2 porte: Reconnaissance par Traité de la perpétuelle occupation et gouvernement de Macau et ses dépendances par le Portugal.\n\n5\n\nSir Robert Hart confirme cet Article dans un télégramme du 20 Mars, 1887 (p. 45 du Livre Blanc).\n\nDans ces termes a été rédigé l'Article 2 du Protocole de Lisbonne du 26 Mars, 1887, que l'Article 2 du Traité confirme entièrement.\n\nQu'elles étaient ces dépendances? Le négociateur du Traité, Souza Rosa, l'a clairement dit au Tsong-li Yamên: \"L'Ile Verte, Taipa, D. João (Macarira), Colovane, et Vong-Cam, et, bien entendu, toutes leurs eaux territoriales, restant bien compris que la juridiction Portugaise du côté ouest de la Péninsule de Macau s'étend sur toutes les eaux jusqu'à la côte est de Lappa et au rocher Apo-Léac.\"\n\nNous ne ... Donc, Lappa n'a pas d'eaux territoriales Chinoises dans sa côte est. Nous avons jamais reconnu, et de fait nous avons toujours exercé pleine juridiction sur toutes les eaux du port intérieur de Macau. Ce qui prouve, semble-t-il, que Lappa doit être considérée sous l'influence Portugaise, puisque ses eaux sont sous notre juridiction.\n\nLe 27 Avril des soldats Chinois débarquèrent à Vong-Cam (Montanha) et y établirent des postes et y hissèrent un pavillon. Les habitants de Vong-Cam se considèrent sous notre juridiction. Ils demandent permission au Gouvernement de Macau pour exploiter les carrières de pierre et les parcs à huîtres, et payent l'impôt de ces permissions. C'est aux abattoirs de Colovane qu'ils apportent leurs pores pour qu'ils y soient abattus, payant là volontairement l'impôt et la taxe dus pour ce service. Il nous payent en outre la contribution (l'impôt). Leur Ti-fu (autorité communale) de Manio, élu par eux, demande toujours sa confirmation au Préfet de Taipa et Colovane. C'est les habitants de Vong-Cam et le Ti-fu qui demandent cette confirmation au Préfet Portugais de Taipa et Colovane. Et sans cette confirmation ils ne considèrent pas l'élection du Ti-fu comme valable. La municipalité Portugaise de Taipa et Colovane paye et maintient l'école de Manio dans l'Ile de Vong-Cam (Montanha). A Vong-Cam la Chine ne lève aucun impôt indirect ou direct. De même à D. João (Macarira). Dans cette dernière île c'est le Portugal qui a toujours dominé. Nous y avons la ladrerie (hôpital pour les lépreux) de Pac-Salam, que nous entretenons et payons. Ceci semble vraiment un incontestable document d'occupation et d'administration. Comme à Vong-Cam, les Ti-fus (Maires, ou quelque chose d'y approchant) de D. João (Macarira) sont aussi élus par le peuple, qui en demande égale-ment la confirmation au Préfet de Taipa et Colovane. De même les propriétaires des parcs à huîtres, des appareils de pêche, et des carrières de D. João (Macarira) nous demandent la permission de les exploiter, et nous en payent l'impôt. Leurs écoles dépendent de nous. Dans ces deux îles, Vong-Cam et D. João (Macarira) les populations se sentent tellement sous notre juridiction que spontanément ils ont demandé que, à l'instar de ce que nous avons fait à Colovane, nous les dotions avec des gardes de police rurale.\n\nLégation de Portugal, Pékin [non datée].\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nMap of Macao.\n\n[Not printed.]\n\n0\n\n* Sie.\n\n284", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417215, "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": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 541, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "538 \n\n6 \n\n# ARTICLE 16. \n\nThis Treaty shall, on the exchange of ratifications by His Majesty the King of Sweden and by His Majesty the Emperor of China, be kept and sacredly guarded in the following manner, viz.:---- \n\nThe original Treaty as ratified by the Emperor of China shall be deposited at Stockholm, the capital of His Majesty the King of Sweden, in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and as ratified by the King of Sweden shall be deposited at Peking, the capital of His Majesty the Emperor of China, in charge of the Wai-wu Pu. \n\nThe High Contracting Parties agree that, immediately after the exchange of ratifications, the provisions of this Treaty shall be published in order that the officials and people of the two countries may know and observe them. \n\n# ARTICLE 17. \n\nThe present Treaty is signed in the Swedish, Chinese, and English languages.

WITH reference to my despatch No. 92 of the 15th April, in which I referred to a note that I had addressed to Count Hayashi on the subject of the registration by Konishi Hambei of the \"Fishing Crocodile\" trade-mark belonging to Sir Elkanah Armitage and Sons (Limited), I have now the honour to transmit herewith copy of the note above referred to, together with translation of a reply which I have received from General Terauchi, Minister for Foreign Affairs ad interim. \n\nIt will be observed that his Excellency explains that sub-heading 3 of Article 2 is intended to protect the public, while sub-heading 5 is for the purpose of protecting the individual interests of trade-mark proprietors, and he goes on to explain that in the case of certain marks both sub-headings may apply. \n\nIn the case of the \"Crocodile\" trade-mark he thinks it is possible that, according to the manner of its use, the apprehension may exist that it will deceive people, and it would, therefore, come under sub-heading 3 of Article 2. But he adds that the fact whether it does or will deceive people cannot be definitely ascertained until a trial has been held. \n\nI have for some time past been urging Cornes and Co., who are acting for Sir Elkanah Armitage, and their patent agent to hurry on with their case, but they say that a great deal of time is required to marshal all their facts and proofs. I have communicated a copy of General Terauchi's note to them, and once more suggested that they should lose no time in taking the necessary action. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) CLAUDE M.

ON the 27th May, 1907, Mr. Lowther, acting under the instructions of His Majesty's Government, brought to your Excellency's notice a complaint made by Messrs. A. Ross and Co., a British firm, with regard to the imitation of the \"Crocodile\" trade-mark of Sir Elkanah Armitage and Sons (Limited) by Konishi Hambei, a Japanese merchant of Osaka. \n\nKonishi Hambei had succeeded in obtaining registration of this mark in the Patent Bureau of Japan. \n\nIn your Excellency's reply of the 23rd July, 1907, to His Majesty's Government you pointed out that after inquiries had been conducted by the Department concerned it had been found that Konishi Hambei had obtained registration of the \"Crocodile mark on the 20th February, 1903, and that this mark had since been in uninterrupted use, and that as three years had elapsed since registration, the trade-mark had become final. Your Excellency went on to explain that in spite of the fact that another person had previously obtained registration abroad of a trade-mark of the same design, it was impossible under Japanese law to render the trade-mark invalid because no demand for the cancellation of the registered mark had been made by any one within three years of its registration. \n\nIt would appear to me that in coming to this decision the Department concerned had limited their investigations to the ground covered by sub-heading 5 of Article 2 of the Trade-mark Law, which says that \"a mark which is the same as or resembles a trade-mark used by another person before the operation of this Law cannot be registered,\" and Article 10, which says that if a registered trade-mark infringe Article 2 its registration shall be treated as invalid, but that this rule does not apply \n\n[1904 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417234, "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": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 560, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "P.S.-Since writing the above I have received a visit from the Viceroy's Secretary, who has supplied me with the Chinese version of the incident.\n\nThe gun-boat had, in accordance with the usual practice, anchored at Yin Keng, the anchorage mentioned in your despatch No. 23 of the 31st May last, a place hitherto always considered to be outside Portuguese jurisdiction.\n\nIt is apparently only since the \"Tatsu Maru\" case that the Government of Macao have claimed the place as part of the territorial waters of the Colony, and the Captain of the Chinese gun-boat considered himself perfectly justified in declining to comply with Portuguese Harbour Regulations.\n\nAn explanation having been called for by the Wai-wu Pu, the above is, I understand, the substance of his Excellency's reply.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul-General Fox to Sir J. Jordan.\n\n(No. 28. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nH. H. F.\n\nCanton, June 29, 1908. IN continuation of my despatch No. 23, Confidential, of the 16th June, I have the honour to report the substance of a further conversation which I have had with M. de Moraes, the Portuguese Consul-General at Canton, on the subject of the strained relations existing between the Governments of Macao and Canton.\n\nReferring to the gun-boat incident, M. de Moraes said that the Viceroy's statement that the gun-boat in question anchored at Yinking, on the opposite side of the harbour—a place reserved as an anchorage for Chinese men-of-war—was incorrect. He was himself an eye-witness to the fact that this vessel anchored in the foreign men-of-war anchorage in Macao Harbour, a short distance astern of the Portuguese guard-ship.\n\nThere was not, he added, nor had there ever been, any portion of the harbour reserved for Chinese men-of-war.\n\nThat the Commander of the Chinese gun-boat had special instructions to act as he did, M. de Moraes considers is proved by the fact that another Chinese gun-boat entering the harbour a few hours later and anchoring in exactly the same place furnished the usual information required by the harbour authorities without demur.\n\nAs showing that the Viceroy, doubtless acting under instructions from the Central Government, is making a determined attempt to refuse to recognize Portugal's rights over any territory other than that comprised within the Macao Peninsula, M. de Moraes related to me the following incident:\n\nAbout a month ago two Chinese officers, a small military official stationed in the Kongmoon district and the Commander of a Chinese gun-boat, came to Macao and invoked the Governor's assistance in capturing some robbers who had taken refuge on Colowan Island. The Governor dispatched a posse of police, Chinese and Sikhs, to the spot, who endeavoured, unsuccessfully, to capture these robbers. The police lost one Chinese constable killed and two Sikhs wounded. Reinforcements were sent for, and a company of soldiers proceeded to the island, only to find that the robbers had made good their escape.\n\nOn the Portuguese Consul-General, at the request of the Macao authorities, communicating the affair to the Viceroy, the latter in an official despatch animadverted in strong terms on the cowardly and incapable conduct of the Chinese officers who had invoked assistance from Macao, and, while thanking the Governor for his good offices and expressing regret at the casualties which had occurred, stated that the officers in question would be punished for their breach of discipline. The Viceroy went on to state, categorically, that neither the Island of Colowan, nor Taipa, Caprita Point, Koho, Wang Kum Island, Macarira Island, Maolochow, Shek Loksui, Ying King, or Lappa was under the jurisdiction of Macao, because, said the Viceroy, they were islands or parts of islands separated from Macao by the natural barrier of the sea.\n\nM. de Moraes at once replied to the Viceroy's despatch protesting against this entirely novel and unjustifiable definition of the term \"Macao and its dependencies,\" and pointing out, with regard to Colowan, that that island had been in the military occupation of Macao since the year 1868. It was therefore clearly Portuguese territory under the Agreement of 1887.\n\nThe Consul-General, in support of his contention, quoted a despatch from Viceroy Tsen, dated the 2nd October, 1904 (Kuang Hsü, 30th year, 8th moon, 23rd day), in which the latter, while thanking the Macao authorities for the assistance they had rendered in effecting the capture of a notorious robber named Lin Kua Ssu, who had taken refuge on Colowan, referred to that island as Ao Men Shu Ti, Macao territory.\n\nThe Viceroy, in acknowledging this despatch, again thanked the Macao authorities for the special assistance rendered on this occasion, but reiterated his former statement that he could not admit that the jurisdiction of Macao extended to any of the surrounding islands or to the waters appertaining thereto.\n\nM. de Moraes takes a very serious view of the present situation, as the Macao authorities are, he says, determined to uphold their rights at all costs. The guard-ship would, he assures me, have fired on the Chinese gun-boat the other day had the latter not obeyed the order to leave the harbour, and he fears the recurrence of a similar incident may result in a collision between the naval and military forces of the two Governments.\n\nM. de Moraes mentioned that in the last despatch received from the Viceroy the Governor of Macao is referred to as \"Kuei kuo chu ao men tsung tu,\" the Governor residing at Macao, instead of the usual appellation of \"Ao men tsung tu,\" Governor of Macao.\n\nI have, &c.

These are, he says, to be employed as a police force for the maintenance of order; but no doubt they are also a precaution against surprises or trouble on the road. There has been, the Resident says, a good deal of dissatisfaction among the lamas of Thibet at his appointment, it being thought from his operations against the lamaseries in 1906 that he was inimical to Thibetan Buddhism, and the former Resident, his Excellency Lien Yu, was requested to memorialize the Throne with a view to its being cancelled; this Lien Yu refused to do.\n\nThe road from Tachieolu to Chengtu has recently been improved and has now a width of 10 Chinese feet throughout, and a commodious official rest-house is being constructed at Tachienlu for the use of the Resident and other Government officials travelling between here and the west.\n\nA recent Imperial Decree appoints Weng Tsung Yao Assistant Resident for Thibet, with the rank of Deputy Lieutenant-Governor.\n\nI am sending copy of this despatch to the Government of India.\n\nI have, &c.

Registration of poppy land is described as a farce. It is said that many people have voluntarily given up the opium habit.\n\nIn the K'ai Hsien and Wan Hsien districts of K'uai-chou Prefecture, also in the east of the province, nothing whatever has been done to check use or cultivation, and although Proclamations have been issued in the O-mei district, in the Chia-ting Prefecture, south and west of the provincial capital, announcing official control of opium, nothing has been done to enforce obedience. Some of the gentry and scholars have abandoned the habit, but there is no reduction in cultivation.\n\nPoppy cultivation has been practically abandoned in the districts of Pa Hsien and Chi-chiang Hsien, lying between the port of Chungking and the frontier of the Province of Kueichow. One traveller states that, with some very few exceptions, he saw nothing in this part of the province but wheat, beans, &c., where last year opium grew in profusion. In the Pa Hsien district, opium growers are all registered, and in spring, many fields of poppy were summarily destroyed by their owners to avoid being found out by yamen runners sent out with a deputy on a tour of inspection. In these districts, opium houses have been reduced in most instances from ten or more in a market town to two or three. Food-stuffs were cheaper than for many years, owing to their larger production.\n\nIt is at the district city of Sui-ning, in the Prefecture of Tung-chuan Fu, which lies between the Prefectures of Pao-ning and Chengtu, that experiments are being made with the Malay opium cure already referred to. Reference has also been made to the orders given by the Governor-General for curtailment of cultivation in future, and to the special deputies appointed to report on the areas under poppy. In Szechuan, the poppy seed is sown during the present month (November), so that it is yet too soon to say what measure of success will attend the instructions enjoining curtailment.\n\nKueichow—In last Report, it was mentioned that a genuine attempt was being made in this province to stamp out the evil. This may be applicable to Kuei-yang, the provincial capital, and the immediate neighbourhood; but Reports recently received from other prefectures tell quite a different story. Of the Prefecture of An-shun Fu, in the west of the province, it is stated that Proclamations were issued last year and this year, but no action has been taken locally in pursuance of them. No steps have been taken to restrict the area under cultivation. Nearly all the available land is given over to poppy growing, and very little wheat is cultivated. In the beginning, the officials made a pretence of closing the opium houses and shops, and the signboards were taken down, but now both houses and shops are in full swing again, and no inspection is carried out. The only step taken to cure the smokers has been to open a temple as a place for dispensing medicines to help in the cure.\n\nWriting from the Prefecture of Chen-yuen Fu, in the east of the province, a correspondent says that a Proclamation was issued last March warning residents of a certain locality that the Opium Regulations were still in force, and that planting of poppy was a violation thereof, but no official action has been taken.\n\nLast year's anxiety on the subject has quite disappeared, and none of the officials are really giving up the habit. One Magistrate near Chen-yuen sent deputies to destroy the poppy fields, but appeal was made to the Governor, and he was made to pay heavy restitution. There are no restrictions on smokers in this district, nor are any medicines being given out by the officials.\n\nAnother report states that in the Tsung-yi Prefecture, in the north of the province, nearly 85 per cent. of the fields in the writer's district are under poppy, and that more opium is being bought than last year. No fresh Proclamations have been issued, and the opium houses and shops are neither closed nor inspected, and there are no restrictions on smokers.\n\nThe above is rather a black picture, but Kueichow is probably the most opium-sodden province of the Empire, and eradication of the evil will take time.\n\nYünnan.—I have already referred to the energy displayed by the Governor-General of Yünnan and Kueichow, and to his determination to eradicate opium from the former province during the present Chinese year. The following is the gist of the Proclamation which he issued on the 21st July: Those who have contracted the opium craving must free themselves of it during the year; all fields hitherto under poppy must be sown with beans and wheat, and the cultivation of poppy must cease; and all stocks of raw and prepared opium in shops and godowns must be speedily removed out of the province. All who still smoke after the 21st January, 1909, will be prosecuted and severely punished; all who cultivate the poppy after that date will have their crops uprooted, and the land will be confiscated for the public benefit; all prepared opium shops and godowns for the storage of the raw drug must be closed and their business cease; and any daring to have secret stocks of either the raw or prepared drug will have the same confiscated and be themselves punished.\n\nThe Governor-General has taken the further step of telegraphing to the provincial authorities ordering them to prevent the passage of opium through any Customs or li-kin barriers within their jurisdiction on and after the 21st September. If these instructions are carried out, opium in Yünnan will cease to have a marketable value. He has had secret agents at work in the province inquiring into the poppy areas and watching the measures being taken for suppression.\n\nReports speak of crops having been uprooted in the neighbourhood of the provincial capital, and of areas being reduced in some districts from a fourth to a third with a consequent lowering of the price of food-stuffs; but as a whole, and taking into consideration the steps that have been taken in the matter, they cast some doubt on the ability of the Governor-General to eradicate opium within his time limit. They also point out the great difficulty that will be experienced in dealing with cultivation in the mountainous country in the west of the province inhabited by Lolos, Kachins, Shans, and others, as well as by Chinese, where control is somewhat weak, but here, as everywhere else in China, success must largely depend on the energy and good faith of the local authorities.\n\n### 15 \n\nIn condensing these reports, which are necessarily fragmentary dealing as they do with only parts of provinces, I have endeavoured to extract and present the most salient points bearing on the carrying out of the task which China has imposed upon herself. They reveal a curious mixture of energy and apathy; but it must be admitted that through the former considerable progress is being made, especially in curtailment of production. As regards smoking, the closing of opium houses, if here and there somewhat lax, has placed a stigma on the habit, and a public opinion strongly adverse to the drug is discernible in several important centres. The registration and licensing of opium shops and smokers is gradually being enforced, but, although some provinces lag behind others in this respect, time has been insufficient to carry out what has only been completed in the metropolis less than a month ago. There is evidence that smokers are voluntarily breaking off the habit, but the information regarding the cures affected by anti-opium medicines is somewhat indefinite, and it is to be feared that in many cases opium and morphia eating is taking the place of opium smoking.\n\nThere are two questions calling for some attention in connection with the suppression of opium in China. They are—\n\n1. What can be grown in place of the poppy?\n2. How is the revenue hitherto derived from opium to be made good?\n\nThe time of opium harvesting differs with the provinces, but in general terms, it may be said that in Western and South-Western China, where the great bulk of the drug is produced, the poppy occupies the ground from November to the middle of April, and in Manchuria and North China from March to July. In the West, wheat, rape, beans, and peas are cultivated during the poppy season; and in the North, where the rigorous winter stops all cultivation, the poppy shares the ground with the usual summer crops. The advantage of opium production, in addition to the higher value of the harvest per acre, is the portability of the drug in a country where lack of means of communication bars access to a market. One man can carry a load of opium for hundreds of miles over atrocious roads to a market without unduly raising its cost, whereas grain or other produce of the same value could not be moved many miles and yield a profit; and it is to the development of railways that the Chinese cultivator must look to enable him to grow and dispose of the crops best suited to climate and soil. Where communication is easy and cheap, the farmer will lose little by abandoning the poppy.\n\nIt is a much more difficult matter to say whence China will derive the revenue which the suppression of opium (native and foreign) will necessarily cut off. Although China considers the abandonment of that revenue of no account in comparison with the eradication of the evil, the sacrifice is a heavy one. Certain steps have, however, already been taken to make good the loss. Increased taxation of land under poppy is only a temporary relief, and will cease with the suppression of cultivation; but in Szechuan, the Provincial Government, under instructions from the Board of Finance, has imposed a tax of 3 cash a catty on the salt production of that province, and an additional tax of 5 cash per catty on salt exported from Szechuan to Hupei.

This boycott was due to the feeling excited in China by the Talsu Maru affair, and was actively organized by the \"National Disgrace Society\" at Canton. It soon spread to Hongkong, where the Government from the first took active steps to combat it with the result that by the autumn several Chinese merchants in the Colony had again begun to trade in Japanese goods. This gradual failure of the boycott movement in Hongkong dissatisfied the more violent agitators in Canton, who, thereupon, made this Colony the scene of an organized riot, which had for its object the destruction of the shops and goods of such Chinese merchants as had abandoned the anti-Japanese boycott. The affair was arranged with such secrecy and skill that the Police of the Colony were completely taken by surprise, and for the purpose of restoring law and order it was necessary to call upon the Military Authorities for assistance. A proclamation was forthwith issued declaring the Colony subject to the provisions of the Peace Preservation Ordinance and with the help of the troops order was restored by the evening of the 2nd November. After that date there was no further outbreak and drastic steps were taken to deal with the instigators of the outrage. In no instance was a Japanese shop or a Japanese subject attacked.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient,\n\nhumble servant,\n\nGovernor, &c.\n\n#612.2\n\nSa-tsing\n\nHONG KONG,\n\nKOWLOON AND ADJACENT TERRITORIES.\n\nTUNGShak KWAN\nPiang tidKon Lan\nAaong tuhoTong-lak\nLung koagHsin hi\nTai-Tong-tu KU ISHA N\nTong poiCheng-hang\nkungShaktboug tea\nBIASWo-shak gain\nApo kiLong-heu\nFule-yunYong tai shan\nLunga sin:Wang-kong\nl'an-tonSa wen\n5 Tai-wb - chumanMa-ham\n3 Lok-shule-trenyTong hang\nShong-tung \"Kaicking ByFeñ-tea-sha\nPa kongTison kui -chun.\nTAI-PUNG-SANGSa-ng-chung\nWong muTiptun\nPallashaPichau\nBVKI ANG\n\nCANTON RIVER\n\nSai fleungFa-trai\nNAM-/TAOs TACHM\nBAYRing Cheng\nTai-Kwaimiu\nNo chuLin-tin\nChak-won!Luna\nTai-oMoi-fim\nPuhakHS IN\nAMNGAN Low-long (SUN-ON Sone con Jam\nSha-tauLongtounty\nORE P\nBAFHAU - HOI\nYan-haShui wan ten.\nFTai, shut hang\nPing-shayZo Shui-leu.\nPet long, Chin shanĹSu-chav\nNam-longLe ChaBy\nChulu kakIdin ten a\nMiguChui-yen\nTu longLe-man\nLin-chancJ£ ¢\nKane KinKagi Shni Hun\nSha tagYam ten &\nMKath Croolgi\nSong chauSha-iauskok\nLakes Criscont.

I said it would be better for him to let me have the cheque book entirely. From that time I signed all the cheques. After I took charge of the cheque book Mr. Tatam continued to draw money from the butchery. On 11th December, 1895, Mr. Tatam drew $150 from the Butchery for personal expenses. While living with me he paid nothing for board and lodging, This went on for 6 weeks to 2 months from 15th September, 1895, to the end of October, 1895, after that date he drew money from the Butchery for current expenses. At that time I rented the top of a house and the Butchery was on the 1st floor. Mr. Tatam drew out money as he liked. The matter was treated as in the case of an ordinary partnership. Mr. Tatam drew money for current expenses and at the end of the year a settlement would have been made had the business shown a profit. I advanced money without interest and Mr. Tatam was to give his services, and we were to divide the profits. I borrowed on 22nd October, 1895, the sum of $1,000 which I put into the Butchery.\n\n(sd.) F. A.

On leaving Fa-ku-men the road soon enters the hills to the east, and after a gentle rise descends into a narrow valley bounded by low, grass-topped hills partly cultivated. At 10 miles from Fa-ku-men the valley ends, the hills on the south side retiring in a south by east direction, and giving place to an undulating country over which the road passes eastwards. The village of Tiao-ping-shan marks the eastern end of the valley. The country is more broken than between Hsin-min Fu and Fa-ku-men, and several nullahs with ruined bridges had to be negotiated. The crops were the same, but upland rice was more in evidence. There are twelve hamlets and villages on the road, some of them such as Yung-an-p'u and Wu-chia-hsin, being of considerable size, and we struck the river, about 400 yards in breadth, at the ferry of Shung-ch'a-k'ou in a sandy cove under a low rocky bluff rising sheer from the river. There was only one long, broad, flat ferry boat, which had just started when we arrived, and night was falling before we were poled and yuhloed to the further bank.\n\nAs we were waiting at the ferry and the animals in our carts were being unyoked preparatory to boarding the boat, several heavy junks, each with sail up and crew of three men straining at the oars, passed down river under the right bank, where the water was from 10 to 12 feet deep. Owing to the late rains of the present year there were no shallows at the bifurcation of the Liao just above Tiehling, and the junks were taking advantage of the swollen river to hurry on to Newchwang. It was dark before we reached a Chinese inn within the city walls of Tiehling; but, with the assistance of the landlord, I succeeded in having an interview with several merchants, who fully corroborated all that I had heard at Fa-ku-men, that the import trade of Tiehling and Hsin-min Fu from Fa-ku-men in winter depends largely on the market at the two places, that the trade with Hsin-min Fu is always greater in volume, and that the imports into Fa-ku-men from Tiehling are inconsiderable. At Hsin-min Fu and Fa-ku-men there was little evidence of Japanese activity, only a few small shops being observable; but at Tiehling it is otherwise. Two roads leading from the railway station, or rather from the eastern boundary of the railway reserve to the west gate of Tiehling, were almost entirely given up to small Japanese shops, but within the railway reserve itself there were many red brick houses, while similar and one large grey, more pretentious two-storied buildings were in course of erection. A brick two-storied building with a central square and two side wings particularly attracted my attention. It was standing in ample grounds surrounded by a low wall with iron railings. Over the doorway in Chinese characters was the inscription \"Commercial Exhibition.\" A poster at the door read \"No Admittance\"; but as the door was open, no objection was raised to my entrance. The central square contained a large entrance hall on the ground floor with a staircase leading to the first floor. The exhibition consisted of four long, broad rooms fitted with glass-fronted show cases arranged along the walls and along the centre of each room; in one or two rooms the exhibits, of every conceivable character and all of Japanese manufacture, were already arranged to please the eye, while in the others men and women were unpacking cases and spreading out their goods. The exhibits were many of them pure Japanese in type, but I could not help noticing that many were imitations of foreign goods, and in a quiet corner I took the opportunity of committing to my notebook the following labels on sundry bottles:\n\n| Label | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Worcestershire Sauce | prepared and sold by Barishiu and Co., London, N. |\n| Fine Old Highland Whisky | Malcolm, Barcelona, and Co., London and Glasgow. (Priced 1 yen.) |\n| The Mon Old Scotch Whisky | bottled and guaranteed by B. B. Woompang. By special appointment purveyor of whisky to A. F. W. the Prince of Wales. |\n| Scotch Whisky | A. F. Wine and Co., Japan. (Lion holding Axe, trade-mark.) |\n| Vieux Cognac | L. D. Piccardo, Geneva. (Priced 1.35 yen.) |\n\nA few hundred yards to the south-west of the Tiehling railway station, there is a Japanese flour-mill, belonging to the Manchurian Flour-Mill Company, which commenced work in June, and is reported to be turning out 1,200 50-lb. sacks of flour per day from local wheat. The flour, which is made in four qualities, is said to be 20 sen cheaper in each grade per sack than flour made in Japan, and the Company propose to erect similar mills at Newchwang, Mukden, and Antung.\n\nI left Tiehling on the afternoon of the 28th September and reached Mukden the same evening, travelling in one of the new American second-class carriages fitted temporarily with red plush seats as a first-class car. The workmanship of the car was somewhat rough in appearance, but the running was perfectly smooth. The young conductor was exceedingly civil and obliging.\n\nI remained at Mukden over the next day and called at \"Government House,\" the Governor-General's offices built in foreign style inside the city, over which the Chinese flag was flying. The Governor-General's residence, also in foreign style, is in course of erection next to \"Government House\"; but the most imposing foreign building I noticed lies between the city and the railway station, where the British-American Tobacco Company have put up an enormous factory for the manufacture of cigarettes. Its completion was expected towards the end of October.\n\nNext morning I left Mukden for Peking, joining the train of the Imperial Railways of North China at the South Manchurian railway station, the actual joining of the two lines being at present under discussion at Dairen (Dalny). The Chinese railway station, where the tickets are sold, is 2,000 yards distant from the Japanese station. When the new Japanese station is completed twelve months hence, they will be 2,500 to 3,000 yards apart.\n\nThe last girder of the twenty-span bridge now in course of construction across the Liao between Mukden and Hsin-min Fu will be placed in position in November. The chief central spans are 40 feet above high-water mark—much higher than the old bridge built by the Japanese still in use; but they are not sufficiently high to admit of the passage of junks without unshipping or lowering their masts.\n\nThe Chief Traffic Inspector of the Chinese railways outside the wall (i.e., north of Shan-hai-kuan), who travelled in the same train from Mukden to Kou-pang-tzu, the junction of the Hsin-min Fu and Newchwang lines, where he resides, informed me that duty-free goods (such as flour) arriving from a port are no longer taxed at Kou-pang-tzu, which was his complaint to me when I last visited Manchuria. He said, however, that many imports still come forward unaccompanied by exemption certificates and are duly taxed. This is, of course, in accordance with the Customs Regulations for Manchuria which came into force last year, and it is a curious fact that merchants at Hsin-min Fu and Fa-ku-men whom I met had never heard of the issue of such certificates and were incredulous of my statement that they are obtainable from the Customs if applied for in due form; and they appeared still more incredulous of my statement that a Chinese custom-house was established at Dairen on the 1st July, 1907, being under the impression that goods passing through that port are still duty-free.\n\nThe traffic on the Chinese Railway is undoubtedly heavily handicapped by the presence of li-kin or other tax stations along their lines, where all exports and uncertificated goods are taxed. Such tax stations are not permitted on the South Manchurian Railway, and when the Imperial Railways of North China have endeavoured to compete by lowering freights, the taxes have been proportionately raised, the profits going to the tax stations, and not to the railway. Under these circumstances, the railway has given up in despair the attempt to compete by lowering rates.\n\nThe conclusion at which I have arrived after visiting Hsin-min-t'un (Hsin-min Fu), Fa-ku-men (Fu-min Ting), and Tiehling, is that Fa-ku-men is much more intimately connected commercially with Hsin-min-t'un than with Tiehling, and that an extension of the Imperial Railways of North China from Hsin-min-t'un to Fa-ku-men would serve a rich agricultural area and its hinterland, which has at present only a very limited connection with the South Manchurian Railway, whether at Tiehling or any other station to the north or south of it.\n\n## 5\n\nPage 306", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 421790, "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": 579, "title": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## 2\n\nas Prince Regent were regarded as offering a fortunate solution of the difficulty and the new era opened with every appearance of harmonious co-operation between Yuan and the Prince Regent and between Chinese and Manchus generally.\n\nIt soon, however, became noticeable, as I mentioned in private letters, that Yuan was effacing himself, and that all was not right. This impression was not confirmed by Yuan's own statements. Mr. Ijuin, the Japanese Minister, had a private interview with him on the 22nd December, and found him highly pleased with the Prince Regent and the unexpected capacity which His Highness was displaying in the conduct of affairs. On the 28th December he was almost exclusively the spokesman at a meeting in connection with the Manchurian negotiations between Japan and China, and had evidently no idea of his impending fate.\n\nThe circumstances under which he received his dismissal from the Prince Regent a few days later are described in the inclosed letter from Sir W. Hillier, who had the story from Yuan's son.\n\nYuan started by the first train on the morning of the 3rd instant for Tien-tsin, where he evidently intended to seek refuge in the British Concession, but having apparently been reassured as to his personal safety, he returned here the same afternoon, and left by special train on the 5th instant for his home in Honan.\n\nThe American and German Ministers called upon me on the afternoon the Decree was issued to talk over the situation, and we agreed that the incident ought not to be allowed to pass unnoticed by the foreign Representatives. We felt that Yuan's presence in Peking was a guarantee for stability, and that the Regent's action, if unchallenged, might lead to serious trouble.\n\nAn informal meeting, attended by the Representatives of America, Germany, Japan, Russia, Austria, Italy, France and myself, was held at the United States' Legation the following day, when it was decided to request authority from our Governments to make a representation either direct to the Prince Regent or to His Highness through the Wai-wu P'u, on the basis incorporated in my telegram No. 5 of the 3rd instant, a copy of which is inclosed for convenience of reference. The formula eventually adopted was naturally a compromise to meet the divergencies of views held by those present.\n\nThe Japanese Minister, with whom I had some previous communication, showed considerable reluctance to join in any representation, and gave as his reason that Yuan had, according to information furnished him by Tieh Liang, been impeached by censors for his behaviour towards the late Emperor. Subsequently Mr. Ijuin was prepared to join his colleagues on the understanding that Yuan's name should not be mentioned in order to avoid doing him harm and to prevent the representation assuming a personal complexion.\n\nThe construction placed upon the Japanese attitude by most of my colleagues is that Yuan's disappearance from public life means the removal of Tong Shao-yi and possibly the Viceroy, Hsu Shih-ch'ang from Mukden, and that the substitution of weaker men will suit Japanese policy in Manchuria.\n\nThe Russian Minister also showed some hesitation in falling into line with his colleagues, and wished to leave the decision entirely to his Government.\n\nA further meeting of the Diplomatic Body is to be held to-morrow, when it is expected that the views of the different Governments will be received.\n\nLiang Tun-yen has been appointed to act as Yuan's successor in the Wai-wu Pu. He is an intelligent Chinese educated in America, who has had much experience as Secretary to Chang Chih-tung, but he has contracted the opium habit to such a degree as almost to incapacitate him for sustained and serious work, and his influence in the country is of no account.\n\nHis senior colleague, the Grand Secretary Na, is a supple plausible Manchu, who has played many parts and always managed to come out successfully. His promises are as profuse as his performance is scant, and although a sworn brother of Yuan's, his regret at the latter's downfall is doubtless mitigated by the fact that he succeeds him as a member of the Grand Council.\n\nPrince Ching, to whom all communications are addressed, and who should, if the Protocol were observed, be Foreign Minister in reality, no longer takes any active part in the affairs of the Wai-wu Pu, which is now inferior in its personnel to the Tsung-li Yamên, which it replaced, and on which it was intended to be an improvement.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) \n**J.

He has now, however, been seized with a disease in the feet, which makes it difficult for him to move about, and thus renders him unfit for the performance of his duties.

Hillier to Sir J. Jordan.**\n\nJanuary 3, 1909.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nMy dear Jordan,\n\nYUAN YUAN-TAI, Yuan Kung Pao's son, has just been to see me, and has given me some particulars, for my confidential information, which may possibly interest you.\n\nHe told me that, although his father anticipated that his position would sooner or later become untenable, the dismissal of yesterday, for it was a dismissal, came upon him as a complete surprise. Yuan Kung Pao was at the Palace yesterday morning and saw the Prince Regent, who was particularly affable to him, and smiled pleasantly on Yuan when he left and went to his office. The Regent then sent for Chang Chih-tung and Shih Chung-tang, and produced the copy of the Decree that appeared in yesterday's \"Gazette.\" It took both Chang and Shih also by surprise, for it was the first intimation they had that any design was on foot to get rid of Yuan. They remonstrated with the Regent, but to no purpose, as he said that Yuan had to go. They then begged him at least to delay matters and to consult Prince Ch'ing, but the Regent replied that anything Prince Ching might say would not alter his purpose. On the previous day the Regent had an angry interview with Prince Ching, and spoke very sharply to him about the way in which the Wai-wu Pu was conducted, complaining that the Wai-wu Pu Ministers were not half stiff enough with the foreign Representatives, and gave way to them far too much. The result was that Prince Ching went away very much upset, and did not attend at Court yesterday. In fact, Yuan-t'ai says that the old Prince was so upset that he is really ill, and that this abrupt dismissal of Yuan has worried him more than all the Boxer trouble did, and that there is a strong belief that there is more trouble coming in the way of wholesale dismissals. Chang Chih-tung, there seems to be no doubt, had not only nothing to do with Yuan's dismissal, but is even alarmed about the security of his own position. Yuan-t'ai asserts that there is a very strong anti-foreign and anti-Chinese faction in the Palace at the present moment, backed up by the Regent and headed by Tieh Liang.\n\nIt is customary, but not apparently obligatory, for Chinese officials, when given their \"congé,\" as Yuan has been given his, to present themselves at Court and return thanks. Yuan had intended to go to Court this morning, but his son and others are convinced that there are more humiliations in store for Yuan, and they are alarmed for his personal safety, so he was persuaded to go to Tien-tsin by the early train this morning, his wife and family following by the following train. Yuan-t'ai left me to catch the 5:30 train for Tien-tsin to join his father, who is staying at the Astor House Hotel in Tien-tsin. He has no intention of going to his native place, but is standing by to go to Shanghae at a moment's notice, and from there to Hong Kong, if he has reason to believe that vindictive measures are to be taken against him.\n\nPage 574", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 421808, "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": 597, "title": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n## Governor Sir F. Lugard to the Earl of Crewe\n\n**Government House, Hong Kong, December 24, 1908**\n\nIN continuation of my Secret despatch of the 25th ultimo I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's telegram of the same date, stating that a telegram from Mr. Chesney Duncan to Members of Parliament had been received respecting the banishment of Ch'an Lo-ch'un, Chiu Shiu-pok, and P'un Lan-sz, and asking what were the facts.\n\n2. To this inquiry I replied by telegram on the 27th idem, as follows:--\n\n\"In consequence of riot broken out 2nd November Proclamation has been issued under section 6, Ordinance No. 10, 1886. Ch'an Lo-chun, Chiu Shiu-pok, not being British subjects, banished under section 13; P'un Lan-sz, not being British subject, banished under `Ordinance No. 1, 1882`; after careful inquiry in accordance with advice of Executive Council.\"\n\nI added the following **Confidential** postscript: -\n\n\"They are leaders of movement Japanese boycott; culminated in local disturbances and other outrages.\"\n\n3. On the 8th instant, I received a further telegram from your Lordship to the effect that the Government of Japan had asked that Hong Kong should institute more rigid control over boycott, to prevent intimidation by organized Societies; and stating that your Lordship would be glad if I would do all that I properly could to meet the wishes of Japan, informing you beforehand, if I considered that any exceptional measures were necessary and reporting fully by despatch. To this message I replied by telegram on the 11th instant, that active steps were being taken to control the boycott.\n\n4. In point of fact no steps, except those already reported to your Lordship in my Secret despatches of the 12th and 25th ultimo, were taken, until at meeting of Executive Council held on the 23rd instant, it was advised (the General Officer Commanding and Mr. E. A. Hewett being absent, and the Colonial Secretary dissenting) that the Proclamation issued under section 6, of `Ordinance 10, of 1886`, should be rescinded. Mr. Hewett, though not present at the meeting, had intimated that he had agreed to the rescission of the Proclamation, but would have liked to hear the discussion in Council.\n\n5. The circumstances which led me to take this step were these.\n\nOf the persons whose names are mentioned in my despatch of the 25th ultimo some were in the Colony and some happened to be absent at the date the banishment orders were issued. As soon as those who were in the Colony learned that banishment warrants had been issued against them, they left the Colony, before the police communicated with them, with the exception of three men, Chan Hang-kiu, Ng Hin-tsz (also called Ng Hin-om), and Nip Kun-man. The first of these went to the Registrar-General and protested that he had taken no part either in the boycott or in the riots, and that he was willing to publish a statement in the local press to that effect. I considered his case in Executive Council on the 1st instant, and the Council unanimously advised that if Chan Hang-kiu published such a statement the banishment warrant issued against him should be cancelled. The statement, copy of which I inclose, was made before the Registrar-General on the 3rd instant, and published in the native press on the 4th and 5th instant. A similar statement, copy of which I also inclose, was voluntarily published in the native press by Yik Chi-kin, a prominent member of the Commerce Investigation Society, as the Boycott organization styles itself.\n\n6. On the 27th ultimo, Ng Hin-tsz and Nip Kun-man forwarded to me, through their solicitor Mr. Otto Kong Sing, the Petitions of which I inclose copies. These Petitions I also considered in Executive Council on the 1st instant when Council advised that, as neither of the petitioners were willing to publish a statement dissociating himself from the boycott, the banishment orders against them should be carried into effect, and that they should be referred to the terms of the banishment order for an explanation of the grounds upon which they were banished. Accordingly, on the same day, Ng Hin-tsz was arrested by the police.\n\n7. On the following day his solicitor gave notice of application for a writ of habeas corpus; and on the evening of the same day the Crown Solicitor intimated to me that, in his opinion, the banishment warrants issued under section 13, of `Ordinance 10, of 1886`, were bad inasmuch as seven days had been named in the orders, in accordance with a decision of the Executive Council on the 23rd ultimo, as the period which the persons banished should leave the Colony, whereas, under section 13, of the Ordinance, the period should have been one of not less than seven days; and that, if the case came for trial before the Chief Justice, Ng Hin-tsz would certainly be released. I referred the point for the considered opinion of the Attorney-General and Crown Solicitor who reported that the warrants were bad and that they could not be amended, In view of their opinion (copy inclosed), I directed that Ng Hin-tsz should be released from custody, and he was accordingly set at liberty on the 3rd instant. I further directed that Nip Kun-man should not be arrested.\n\n8. On the same day the China Association initiated the correspondence, noted in the schedule, of which I inclose copies; and on the 5th instant the Chamber of Commerce joined in the correspondence. I have reason to believe that both the China Association and the Chamber of Commerce feared that the Japanese boycott might, as the result of the action taken by the Government, be converted into a boycott of British trade. I am glad, however, to report that no such movement has taken place.\n\n9. On the 10th instant I reconsidered the whole question in Executive Council, in view of the fact that in all of the cases except three the banishment orders had not been used, and that in the case of one person (Chiu Shiu-pok) additional facts implicating him in the organization and furtherance of the boycott had come to light since the issue of the Banishment Order.\n\nThe Council advised that the Attorney-General should consider the point whether any further steps could be taken, and Mr. Rees Davies, in consultation with the Crown Solicitor and Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., who (with Sir H. Berkeley) had been retained to assist the Crown in the event of proceedings subsequent to the Ng Hin Tsz case, reported that he and the gentleman named concurred in the view expressed in his Opinion of the 3rd instant. As the facts referred to as having come to light since the date of the banishment order against Chiu Shiu-pok had occurred before the date of the order, it was evident that no further proceedings in banishment could be taken. Meanwhile I was advised by the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Registrar-General that all intimidation by organized Societies of the kind referred to in your Lordship's telegram had ceased, and that the situation no longer demanded exceptional measures. The boycott of Japanese trade continues, but the Registrar-General reports that there is an appreciable increase in the trade in certain Japanese articles, and the methods of those who still continue the movement are in no way contrary to law. It therefore appeared to me that there was no longer any justification for retaining the Proclamation in force, and I had cause to believe that the exceptional powers which it authorizes were keeping alive the unrest and apprehension among the Chinese merchants which have been noticeable for some time past. I accordingly again considered the matter in Executive Council, with the result stated in paragraph 4 of this despatch, and I inclose a copy of the notice which has now been issued rescinding the Proclamation made under the **Peace Preservation Ordinance**.\n\n10. In conclusion, with reference to paragraph 3 of my Secret despatch of the 12th ultimo, I have the honour to inclose copies of a despatch from the Acting British Consul-General at Canton dated the 14th ultimo, and of a despatch from Sir John Jordan dated the 27th ultimo. I have received no communication from His Majesty's Ambassador at Tôkiô, but the Japanese Consul at this port has expressed his dissatisfaction at the failure of the Government to enforce the banishment warrants. I am, however, of opinion that the object which I had in view in issuing these warrants has already been effected; peace and good order have been restored, and all overt acts in promotion of the boycott of Japanese trade have ceased.\n\nIt is manifestly impossible for this or any other civilized Government to compel Chinese residents to sell or to purchase Japanese goods if they do not desire to do so. Mr. Taft, at the time of the American boycott, clearly laid down the limitations beyond which the American Government could not go in its efforts to put an end to that boycott, and the Japanese Government cannot, I think, fail to recognize that this Colony has (perhaps at some risk to British trade, and certainly at the cost of considerable apprehension among the commercial population) acted up to the full extent of those limitations.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) **F.

There is not the smallest chance that China will herself be able to find the requisite funds for the construction of the Szechuen line, and there is good ground for supposing that she will have recourse to the foreign assistance provided for at no very distant date, since Prince Ch'ing repeated to me what he had previously said to Mr. Townley, namely, that it was recognized that it is most desirable in China's own interests that a railway should be made into Szechuen.\n\nAs far as I can ascertain, the immediate desire of the Peking Syndicate is to make some satisfactory arrangement with the Chinese authorities whereby their financial responsibilities in the line from Taokou to Tsechou will be lessened. The first clause of the arrangement provides a sound basis for such a settlement, and the Syndicate's Agent in Peking is now at Shanghae for the purpose of coming to an agreement with the Director-General of Railways.\n\nIt is improbable that the amalgamated Syndicates will be very keenly desirous of constructing the Yencheng-Puk'ou line until the necessary funds have been raised for the British section of the Tientsin-Chinkiang line, or until it has been clearly demonstrated that the output of the Honan mines is such, both as to quantity and quality, as to call for a special means of communication with the Yangtse.\n\nIn their letter to the Foreign Office of the 15th July last, the British and China Corporation lay great stress upon the importance to them of the Puk'ou-Sinyang line, adding that its construction should not be delayed beyond the necessary time for careful survey and the negotiations for the final Agreement. The arrangement provides for the maintenance of the Concession which, by the terms of the preliminary Agreement, the Chinese Government had some grounds for claiming had lapsed, and the Corporation's Agent, who is now at Shanghae, has been informed that Sheng Ta-jên has been instructed to negotiate with him in a friendly spirit. Should it be found after survey that the Puk'ou-Sinyang line is the really valuable railway that the British and China Corporation believe it to be, there would, of course, be good grounds for asking that Sinyang should be the eastern terminus of the Szechuen line, but it can hardly be denied that the Chinese Government, in expressing an opinion that Hankow is a more natural terminus, is possessed of good arguments, seeing that the latter place is one of the most important trade centres on the Yangtse, whereas the former is a small and quite insignificant town. The statement in the Corporation's letter that a line starting from Hankow for Chengtu would run for a considerable extent parallel to the Luhan line, does not seem to be borne out by examination of the map, inasmuch as the former would follow up the Han River valley to Siung-yang, and for the first half of the distance would be at right angles to the Luhan line to Sinyang.\n\nMy American colleague has kindly furnished me with information respecting the American interests he has been supporting for some time past in their efforts to secure the Szechuen Railway. It would appear that Mr. Thurlow Weed Barnes, of New York, is the organizer and principal representative in the United States, and that the following British firms are interested:\n\n| Firm |\n| --- |\n| S. Pearson and Sons |\n| Arthur G. Evans and Company |\n| Sir Douglas Fox and Partner |\n| George Cawston |\n| Henry Bessemer and Company |\n| Ibbotson Brothers and Company |\n| Houlder Brothers and Company |\n| J. A. H.

Brenan and Jamieson with copies of the notes exchanged between Prince Ch'ing and myself for their confidential information, but I am of opinion that it is desirable that for the present not more should transpire of the arrangement come to than that a settlement satisfactory to the parties interested has been arrived at.\n\nWhile inclined to entertain considerable doubts of the commercial and financial prospects of a railway from Puk'ou to Sinyang and thence into Szechuen, I am at the same time fully alive to its importance from a political and strategical point of view, and of the desirability of securing that it shall be regarded as a British Concession.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) **ERNEST SATOW**\n\n## 37 \n\n## Inclosure 1 in No. 46\n\n### Sir Ernest Satow to Prince Ch'ing\n\nYour Highness,\n\nPeking, September 15, 1903. \nWhen your Highness called on me a few days ago, I said that I proposed to place on record the arrangement come to between your Highness and Mr. Townley with regard to various railway questions that had been under discussion, and your Highness was good enough to agree to this being done.\n\nThe Agreement as regards the various points is, I understand, as follows:- \n1. The Peking Syndicate line from Taokou to Tsechou to be placed on the same footing as the Russian line from Taiyuan to Cheng-ting. The mode of giving effect to this Agreement is now under discussion between Sheng Ta-jên and the Syndicate's Representative, Mr. Jamieson, at Shanghae.\n\n2. Fair rates to be secured for the conveyance of the produce of the Peking Syndicate's mines on the Luhan line.\n\n3. If the Chinese Government is not obliged to make up a deficit on the Luhan line, and is willing that a line should be built from Yencheng to Pukow, the Peking Syndicate shall have the right to construct it.\n\n4. The preliminary Agreement for the construction of the line from Sinyang to Puk'ou remains intact, and the details of the final Agreement will be arranged between Sheng Ta-jên and Mr. Brenan at Shanghae.\n\n5. As regards the line from Hankow to Szechuen, if China desires to construct such a line, and Chinese capital is insufficient, she will obtain the necessary foreign capital from Great Britain and the United States. As to the proportion to be contributed by each, and the non-alienation of the same to the nationals of a third Power, I have read Mr. Townley's Report of his conversation with your Highness on the 9th August, of which he furnished a copy to His Excellency Lien Fang on the 14th August, recording the promise made to him by your Highness at that interview.\n\nI shall be glad to learn from your Highness that the above account of the arrangement with Mr. Townley is correct.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) **ERNEST SATOW**\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 46\n\n### Prince Ch'ing to Sir Ernest Satou\n\nKuang Hsi, 29th year, 6th day (September 26th, 1903).\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge your letter just received, to the effect that you proposed to place on record the Agreement arrived at between Mr. Townley and myself on the subject of railways.\n\nAs regards the first point, your letter states that the Tsechou to Taokou line is to be placed on the same footing as the Cheng-ting to Taiyuan line. Since Mr. Jamieson is discussing with Sheng Ta-jên at Shanghae the mode of placing them on the same footing in accordance with this Agreement, it will be proper to wait till Sheng Ta-jên has come to a definite settlement and reports it to the Board, when it can be considered and decided.\n\nThe second point is that fair rates are to be secured for the conveyance of the produce of the Peking Syndicate's mines by the Luhan line. The Luhan line is not yet completed, and there is as yet no definite point to which the products of the Peking Syndicate's mines are to be conveyed. It will be proper, therefore, to wait till the Peking Syndicate have come to a definite agreement with the Administrator General of the Luhan Railway as to these fair rates.\n\nThe third point is that if the Chinese Government is not obliged to make up a deficit on the Luhan line, and is willing that a line should be built from Yencheng to Pukow, the Peking Syndicate shall have the right to construct it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422542, "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": 571, "title": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## Inclosure 5 in No. 57.\n\n**Sir E.

K. McLeod, a China Inland missionary resident there.\n\nThe Catholics are only represented at Ning-hai by a native priest, who appears to have been in league with a man called Wang Ch'eü-ch'uan in seriously oppressing the people, who, failing to get redress, resolved to take matters into their own hands, and on Saturday the 3rd instant, under the leadership of a man called Wang Hsi-t'ung, collected from the whole country side some 600 strong and marched into the city with the intention of destroying the Catholic premises and capturing the most obnoxious members of that sect. The men were under the strictest control, and had received orders not to molest any one except Catholics, and as the whole country side, the city, and the soldiers were with them, the officials could do nothing to stop them. The Catholic premises were set on fire about midday on Saturday, but the Catholics, having had warning of what was going to happen, had mostly fled, and later on the houses of the more obnoxious members were pulled down, but not burnt, lest the houses of innocent people should take fire. Search was also made for the native priest, who was at last discovered hiding in a tobacco shop. Being armed with a revolver he wounded two or three men before being overcome when he was beheaded, disembowelled, and the body dragged on to the execution ground.\n\nOn Sunday the 4th more men came into the city and a few more Catholics were caught, and in some cases released after paying a ransom.\n\nIt was reported that Wang Ch'eü-ch'uan had been caught at a village some 60 li from Ning-hai, and that he had offered 3,000 dollars for his release, which had been refused. If this is true, as this man was the real source of the oppression, the people will probably disperse to their homes without further trouble. Mr. McLeod and his mission appears to have been quite unmolested all through; in fact, his converts attended the Sunday services as usual. The outbreak seems to have been directed against Catholics solely, and great care taken that no innocent people suffered in consequence.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422665, "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": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 68, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## Article relating to the Imperial Chinese Government Five per Cent.

Hukuang Railways Loan of 1909**.\"\n\n## Article 2\nThis loan is designed to provide capital---\n\nFirst, for the redemption at a premium of 24 per cent., with accrued interest, of certain unredeemed gold bonds of the total par value of 2,222,000 dollars United States currency, issued by the American China Development Company on behalf of the Imperial Chinese Government;\n\nSecondly, for the construction of a Government railway main line from Wuchang, the capital of the Hupei Province, through Yo-chou and Changsha, the capital of the Hunan Province, to a point in the Prefecture of Ch'en-chou on the southern boundary of Hunan, connecting with the Kuang-tung section of the Canton-Hankow Railway line, the total length of this line, hereinafter known as \"**The Hupei-Hunan section of the Canton-Hankow Railway line**,\" being about 1,800 Chinese li, or 900 kilom.;\n\nAnd of a Government railway main line from Ichang, in the province of Hupei, through Ching-men-chou and Hsiang-yang, to a point at or near Kuang-shui, connecting it with the Peking-Hankow Railway line, and a branch line from Ching-men-chou, on the aforesaid main line, through Sha-si to Han-yang, the combined length of these two lines, hereinafter known as \"**The Hupei section of the Szechuan-Hankow Railway line**,\" being about 1,600 Chinese li, or 800 kilom.\n\nThe survey lines shall be open to revision by the director-general of the railways. The Chinese Imperial Government undertakes to call in, after having received from the banks application in writing to do so, the aforesaid gold bonds, and the banks will apply the amount necessary for the said redemption out of the proceeds of the loan, and will deliver the redeemed bonds to the Chinese Government after having made the bonds valueless. The Chinese Imperial Government will, after receipt of the redeemed bonds, cancel the inscription of the pledge of the Canton-Hankow Railway line in their archives, and will advise the banks in writing after having done this.\n\nIt is understood that the allotment of the aforesaid total nominal capital of 5,500,000l. will be in the proportion of 2,500,000l. to the Hupei-Hunan section of the Canton-Hankow Railway line and 2,500,000l. to the Hupei section of the Szechuan-Hankow Railway line, and that any surplus of the nominal amount of 500,000l. hereby allotted for the redemption of the gold bonds issued by the American China Development Company aforesaid, which may remain after complete redemption of those bonds, shall be added to the amount allotted to the Hupei-Hunan section of the Canton-Hankow Railway line.\n\n## Article 3\nAfter deduction of the amount required for the redemption of the gold bonds referred to in article 2 of this agreement, the balance of the loan proceeds shall be solely devoted to the construction of the aforesaid railway lines, including the purchase of land, rolling-stock, and other equipment, and to the working of the lines, and to payment of interest on the loan during the period of construction, which is estimated at four years from the actual beginning of the works. The commencement of the works shall not be delayed beyond six months after this agreement has been signed, within which period the banks shall notify the director-general that the sum of 510,000l. has been placed at his disposal in case funds should be required for survey or construction purposes, or for the ordering of materials, the said sum to be held in Europe or remitted to China as he may direct as a first instalment on account of the proceeds of the loan.

The said interest shall be calculated from the date on which the loan is issued to the public, and shall be paid by the Imperial Chinese Government during the time of construction either from the proceeds of the loan or from other sources, and afterwards, in the first place, out of the revenues of the railways, and then from such other revenues as the Chinese Government may think fit to use for the purpose in half-yearly instalments according to the amounts specified in the schedule attached to this agreement, and fourteen days before their due dates, Western calendar, as calculated half-yearly from the date on which the loan is issued to the public.\n\n## Article 5\nThe term of the loan shall be twenty-five years. Repayment of principal shall commence after the expiry of ten years from the date of the loan, and, except as provided in article 6 hereinafter, shall be made by equal yearly amortisation to the banks in half-yearly instalments out of the revenues of the lines, or such other revenues as the Chinese Government may think fit to use for the purpose, according to the amounts specified in the schedule attached to this agreement, but fourteen days before their due dates, Western calendar, as calculated half-yearly from the date on which the loan is issued to the public.\n\n## Article 6\nIf at any time after the lapse of ten years from the date of the loan the Imperial Chinese Government should desire to redeem the whole outstanding amount of the loan, or any part of it not yet due for repayment in accordance with the schedule of repayments hereto attached, it may do so up to the end of the seventeenth year by payment of a premium of 2 per cent. on the face value of the bonds, that is to say, by the payment of 102l. 10s. for each 100l. bond, and after the lapse of seventeen years without premium; but in each and every case of such extra redemption the Imperial Chinese Government will give six months' previous notice in writing to the banks, and such redemption shall be effected by additional drawings of bonds to take place on the date of an ordinary drawing, as provided for in the prospectus of the loan.\n\n## Article 7\nThe half-yearly payments due for amortisation and interest referred to in articles 4 and 5 shall be made in accordance with the amounts of the schedule attached to this agreement, and fourteen days before their due dates, as fixed by articles 4 and 5 in equal shares to the banks by the director-general of the railways, who shall hand to the banks in Shanghae or in Hankow, fourteen days before the said due dates, funds in Shanghae (Kuei-yuan) sycee or Hankow \"Yang-li\" sycee sufficient to meet such payments in gold in Europe, exchange for which shall be settled with the banks on the same day, the railway administration having, however, the option of settling exchange with the banks simultaneously at any date or dates within six months previous to any due date for the payment of interest and (or) principal. These payments may, however, be made in gold in Europe if the Imperial Chinese Government should happen to have gold funds bona fide at their disposal in Europe, not remitted from China for the purpose, and desire so to use them.\n\nIn reimbursement of expenses connected with the payment of interest and repayment of principal of the loan, the banks will receive from the Chinese Government a commission of 4 per cent. on the annual loan service.\n\n## Article 8\nThe Imperial Government of China hereby engages that the interest and principal of this loan shall duly be paid in full, and should the revenues of the railways and (or) the proceeds of the loan not be sufficient to provide for the due and full payment of interest and repayment of principal, the director-general shall memorialise the throne, and the Imperial Government of China will thereupon make arrangements to ensure that the amount of deficiency shall be met from other sources and handed over to the banks on the date upon which funds are required to complete full payment of interest and repayment of principal.\n\n## Article 9\nThe present loan, in respect to both principal and interest, is hereby secured by---\n\n1.

For their hospitality, always readily given, they never expected payment and in many cases refused money when offered. The traveller who should take a few lumps of silver for use in the districts adjacent to China and some strings of cash for use in the interior, can insist on the poor accepting money while the present of a box of matches or a couple of Price's wax candles or a little Peking tea, gives invariably the greatest pleasure to the richer hosts. Future travellers would do well to take a few extra packets of these three commodities as presents.\n\n## Customs\n\nMost, if not all, of the customs in vogue among the Ordos Mongols are probably common to the whole of Mongolia. They are none the less quaint, however, and have a peculiar charm. Perhaps, the one which strikes the traveller as the most curious is the interchange of snuff-bottles by way of greeting. Every Mongol carries one of these little bottles in a pouch at his waist. The quality and size vary of course according to the bearer's means, those of the Princes being very elaborate and of an expensive material. The ordinary bottles, however, are of glass or porcelain. The art of giving and receiving the snuff-bottle in the correct manner is not so easy to acquire as one might imagine. Like the art of shaking hands where neither party looks at their own hands before giving it nor at the hand they are grasping, so the art of snuff-bottling. You do not look at the bottle you are giving nor do you look at the one you receive. To do the latter would suggest that you are appraising its value. The bottle may be received in one hand and should be raised very slightly and then returned. Only on entering a house that the interchange takes place. If the traveller stops to speak to a Mongol on the road—and all Mongols travelling stop to speak to fellow-travellers, to ask them where they come from, whither they travel—bow their beasts fare—snuff-bottles are exchanged in sign of friendship. It is a delightful custom doomed probably to extinction at no very distant date.\n\nThe proper term of greeting when coming to a house or meeting strangers on the road is \"amorr' sae\" (saehen) which means literally \"peace good,\" and is probably very necessary in countries where the person you meet may be anxious to have your blood. If the same reply is made there is nothing to be feared. There is a custom to secure the welfare of houses and which I noticed one or twice; this corresponds to our burying current coins, newspapers, &c., under a foundation stone. On the rafter which supports the roof of the living rooms are suspended a few cash, two chopsticks and a little bag containing wheat and millet. All these are attached to a red scroll pasted to the rafters. These are affixed when the building is ready for occupation, and signify \"May it last 10,000 years.\"\n\nAnother method of securing good luck—but this I only found in Chinese families scattered through the Ordos—is to paste over the doorway of every building or outhouse slips of paper of varied hues with characters inscribed on them. These protect all who enter from sickness or mishap, or from the influence of devils. Inside the buildings flutter perhaps nine or ten other strips of paper from the rafter, bearing devices with the same object. These are frequently taken down, folded up, and worn as an amulet round the neck. I will compare with this the charms worn by the Catholic Christians in the neighbourhood of Santanho, also round the neck, and containing a little picture. These are obtained from the village priest for a few cash, and renewed when worn out.\n\nThe women wear a delightfully picturesque head-dress, and this is probably the only valuable thing they possess. It is a leather band set with silver, and which encircles the head; from it hang down over the forehead, as far as the eyes, over the nape of the neck and over the ears, long strings of silver, coral, jade, and precious stones. Heavy strings of earrings, chiefly hoops of silver, pull down the lobe of the ear till it has lost all its first shape. The hair is fastened in two plaits, one falling over each shoulder into a leather pouch, which reaches to either breast. These pouches are heavily ornamented with silver. If the lady is in mourning the plaits wear a white band across them. The unmarried Mongol women do not wear this quaint head-dress; this is presented by the young man to his fiancée, and thus may be said to correspond to our engagement ring. The young man often has to sell many beasts in order to purchase it; the price and value vary from 60 taels (£9) to 100 taels (£15), and the wealthy sometimes pay as much as 500 taels (£75), but this depends on the value of the stones, pearls, jade, &c., with which the ornaments are set. Directly a girl is engaged to be married she binds her hair under her chin, instead of allowing it to fall in plaits over the shoulders.\n\n## Language\n\nChinese is spoken in those portions of the country which either fringe on China or into which Chinese settlers have penetrated; everywhere else only Mongol is spoken. It is therefore essential for the traveller either to be able to speak Mongol himself, or to have a Mongol-speaking man among his retinue. Even in those districts which lie nearest to China, only a few Mongols can talk Chinese, those few being the men who have had frequent occasion to cross the frontier and do business among the Chinese. In none of the Prince's residences or yamêns are there as yet any Chinese-speaking Mongols; there are no Chinese officials in the country who could help the Chinese-speaking traveller, nor do the lamas speak anything but Mongol. There will be of course exceptions in this last case, but in none of the many lamaseries which I visited were these exceptions to be found.\n\n## Religion\n\nThe religion of the country is Lamaism; the Chinese settlers have, however, maintained their own; in the south of the Kingdom of Ottok there are 7,000 Christians (Roman Catholics), Chinese and Mongol, round the districts of Hsiao chiao and Borobalgasson. In the north-east, in the Kingdom of Talat, there are also some Roman Catholic converts, probably a few hundred, round Hsiao noor and Ta noor.\n\nTwo-thirds of the male Mongol population are herded into the huge lamaseries which are scattered over the country. These institutions are nests of ignorance and vice, into which the children who are to become lamas are thrown at a very early age. It has been suggested that one of the reforms which the Chinese Government wishes to introduce into Mongolia is a modification of the lama system, so that the children may be taught something in the lamaseries, instead of spending all their time in saying prayers which are practically unintelligible to them. Personally, I do not believe in such benevolence of thought on the part of the Chinese Government, and I am convinced that, even if they held it, they would find the task of carrying it out entirely beyond their powers. It has hitherto been supposed that the Chinese Government viewed these institutions with approval, as the lamas being vowed to celibacy and also forbidden to fight, the Mongols need no longer be feared as a fighting force, and could be viewed with equanimity as a decreasing instead of an increasing race. If the Chinese Government ever really bothered to hold a view of Lamaism at all, I think it very likely that this was the view held, and it is unlikely that any change has come over their minds in the matter.\n\n## Climate\n\nThe best season of the year to travel in the Ordos is the late spring and early summer (May and June) or not until the autumn. Though little snow falls in the winter this season is exceedingly severe as may be judged from the fact that the swift flowing Yellow River freezes. Through April and also part of May daily sandstorms may be expected. I know of nothing more disagreeable than travelling in these storms. Nearly always coming from the north-westerly direction they would start about 9 A.M. and increase in ferocity till 3 P.M. when they would gradually subside until by sunset all would be still and clear. While the storm lasts travelling is miserable for man and beast. Sand and stone penetrate everywhere and are swept with force into eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The traveller is tempted to halt directly the storm begins, but he may be absolutely certain that it will be the same on the morrow. As a change from dust we had a violent snowstorm on the last day of April but this was the last kick of winter. Rain is unusual. We had one rainstorm lasting an hour and a-half following thunder and great heat on the 15th May but with the exception of this we only had half a dozen drops on a few other occasions, most of them in June. The country becomes terribly hot in summer and travelling by day then is exceedingly difficult. Of late years it appears that the summer rains have failed and the country is in consequence becoming gradually drier. The once fertile land to which Chinese penetrated no longer yields the crops it formerly did and the colonists talk gloomily of being obliged to leave.\n\n19 \n## Page 124", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422761, "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": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 164, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# 162 \n## 94 \n\nyears Japanese trade would be in a bad state, as people would have found out the worthlessness of their goods. I do not think that with so large a market such a result will occur for a very long time.\n\nThe shops are little more than mud huts. The merchants pay no house-tax, and, indeed, no tax at all, except li-kin. Houses are rented from Mongols or Chinese. No new ones are ever built, as the colony does not grow, and I saw many shops shuttered up and empty, and was told that a Chinaman came here for a few years, and either made a fortune in that time or had to return ruined. It was a question of luck, according to the state of trade.\n\nWhile there was an air of listlessness in the streets, opinions differed as to the present state of trading, some saying that it was bad, others that it was fairly good. All agreed, however, that caravans were rarities. The trade seemed to be nearly one of barter, and there is little silver in the town. Tea bricks (value 45 cents) are the chief currency, while another and more peculiar \"coin\" is a long band of various coloured stuff and of different low values. Small worthless silk scarves, such as the lamas give as presents, are also currency.\n\nAugust 27—There is no Government bank at Kobdo. During the morning I dropped into the police station, three-quarters of the way down the west side of the street, the spot being indicated by two gorgeous flags. Finding no one there, I inquired of a passer-by where all the soldiers had gone to. He said there were thirty police stationed here, but all had gone to lunch—they would not be back till the evening. Close to the gate was a rack of eight rusty old hammer-guns, which looked as if they had come out of the ark, and as if they had got wet in the deluge and had never been cleaned since, also eight wooden lances 10 feet long, with rusty spear heads at the end. It was useless to wait for the return of the police, so I crossed the road to the watchman's station, which was indicated by cangues and scrolls which, as if in invitation of the decalogue preached, \"Do not steal,\" \"Do not gamble,\" \"Do not brawl.\" Here I took some time to wake up the only occupant, which feat accomplished, he told me that during the day only one watchman was stationed here and he was the man. His pay, he said, was 90 c. a month, but he admitted to making more (I presume shopkeepers pay a kind of insurance sum against being robbed). At night he said six men were stationed there. Their weapons and implements were a stout stick, a lantern, and a gong to warn the thieves they were on the alert. The men call themselves soldiers and are renewed every five years from Hsuanhuafu.\n\nWalking into the kitchen on my way out, I found it to be also the police cell, and one prisoner in it. His story was that a Mongol man had owed him money and that on going for this money the Mongol man had given him an ox instead. Returning to Kobdo with the ox, he had been followed by the Mongol who accused him of stealing it. He had only been in the cell one day, and I asked him how long he was going to stay; he replied that he did not know, but probably till the matter had been amicably arranged with the owners of the ox, and that this was a matter of four days as the Mongol lived two days away. A policeman had been sent to fetch him, but there would probably be delays. The prisoner seemed to be unnecessarily dejected, I thought, his only inconvenience being a light chain fastened round his neck and tied loosely to the kang stool, which, being quite small and portable, could be moved at will. The weather was cool, and the kitchen nicely warm, his pipe lay by his side, he could sit or sleep as he liked, and his shop assistant could bring him his food and drink, so he did not seem so badly off.\n\nThe fortress portion of the colony would probably be impregnable to all attacks from such enemies as Mahommedans. It would, however, be defenceless against modern arms, as it is entirely commanded by surrounding hills. I visited the fortress in the afternoon with the intention of seeing how many soldiers there were, not that there are any barracks, as I knew, the inside of the fortress being nominally supposed to be the barracks, in reality every man living at home, but because I thought to hit more easily on a soldier there.\n\nIt was, however, all in vain. No one in the numerous houses within the fort seemed to be a soldier.\n\nThe walls are some 250 yards; there is a gate on every side (except the north) of the usual Chinese (double) pattern. An irregularly shaped and shallow dry moat surrounded the fortress: low bridges of mud and wood leading to each gate. The walls are some 15 feet high and are of hard mud. They are remarkably solid and are battlemented. They completely conceal the low buildings within. A grove of fine trees along the west wall on the inside shelters the Amban's yamên from the west. Offices of the Army Board are situated next to the Amban's yamên.\n\nThe \n| Description | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Walls | 250 yards, 15 feet high, hard mud, battlemented |\n| Gates | One on every side except north, Chinese double pattern |\n| Moat | Irregularly shaped, shallow, dry |\n\nA narrow ditch with a certain amount of water intersects the fortress enclosure, and there are other ditches.\n\n## 95 \n\nNot being able to get any information, I walked into the Army Board, a civilian institution, and learnt as follows:-The pay for the upkeep of the Kobdo garrison amounts to 30,000 taels a-year (4,500l.) and comes from Shansi through Kweihuacheng. There are 200 soldiers (Chinese) and I understood 300 Mongol soldiers, every one living at home. Pay is at the rate of 90 c. per man per month. He has to find his own food. There is a store of rifles in the War Office, but no artillery. If anyone is sick, a doctor lives up the street, and it is the invalid's own affair to consult him. The Mongols are styled cavalry. There is a parade twice a year, no drill, and no rifle practice. On paper, the garrison is probably very much larger, hence the sum given per annum, but what probably happens is that one man draws the pay of ten men.\n\nOn my way back to the temple, I asked at the police station what they would do if the town were again attacked by the Mahommedans: The reply was prompt, \"send for the Mongol soldiers,\" a devolution of responsibility which would end in Kobdo sharing a similar fate as in 1872, when all outside the fortress was looted and burned by the Mahommedans, for the Mongols would, as then, have packed their tents and removed their beasts to the mountains on the approach of the enemy.\n\nThe Russians are not very popular in Kobdo. They drink too much and make use of Mongol women. They seem to act on the \"Heads I win, tails you lose\" principle, as if they do not get rich, they decamp owing a lot of money to the Chinese. Every year, a number of Russian youths come to Kobdo for a few months merely for the sake of learning Mongol.\n\nThe Russian merchants send their telegrams and postal matter to Kissamoto in Russian territory beyond Suok. Suok is nine stages to the north-west of Kobdo.\n\nAugust 28.—Six large German guns with their ammunition left for Sharasumé across the Altaishan to-day. They are being convoyed by two small officers, two secretaries, and their retinue. There are also 400 rifles, eight cases of ammunition, and 200 shells for each gun. There are 100 cases in all. All bear German marks. The guns are to be put together by an officer at Sharasumé. Thirty Hassacks were sent down from Sharasumé to meet the cases and assist in convoying them across the mountains.\n\nThe departure of these guns delayed my own movements, for they required all the transport at the disposal of the Government, and I had unfortunately found it impossible to procure any animals of my own.\n\nThe Government track across the centre of the Altaishan range has only been in existence as such for a few years. It is only open four months in the year, the passes being rendered impassable by snow during the remaining eight. Any travellers wishing to proceed, therefore, in the winter from Kobdo to Altaishan settlement must journey southwards towards Manas and then strike westwards; such a journey takes a full month to accomplish as against twelve days by the summer route.\n\nDuring the day, some Russian merchants wandered round the temple to inspect me and my luggage. In the afternoon, I visited the leading Russian merchant, with a letter of introduction from the Consul at Uliassutai. In spite of this, he raised so many difficulties regarding the transmission of a home letter, alleging that it might contain political matter, that I sent the letter, under cover of another, back to the Consul at Uliassutai, for transmission to Europe via Urga. The merchant is a Biisk man and prosperous. He sends an enormous amount of wool to Biisk after it has been washed. He told me that the reason furs are so bad here is that the best are sent direct to Kalgan or Kweihuacheng. He said there were some Russian merchants at Ulankom. He did not know how many. Ulankom is six days distant to the north.\n\nLater in the day, the Amban sent a small officer with the message that he had orders to accompany me to Altaishan settlement. I was grateful for this, for the officer was as proficient in the Hassack language as in Mongol and Chinese. He brought my pass for the road made out in Mongol and Hassack (not Chinese). He said we were only just in time to cross the mountains, for in another ten days the passes would all be blocked by snow and the road closed. He thought that in any case, we should find the journey a difficult one, thus confirming all the remarks of our Urga and Uliassutai acquaintances to the same effect. The latter, indeed, had expressed the greatest surprise that we were even contemplating making the passage of the Altais at this point.\n\nIt was very pleasant to spend a quiet day sauntering under the fine trees by the side of the small irrigation canals, and it was with no little awe that we looked at the mighty range already heavily dipped in snow, the struggle over which was to begin on the morrow.\n\nBeing thoroughly dishearted and disappointed by the inability to travel in the way I wished, and as had been intended, I again had serious thoughts of abandoning the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422769, "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": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 172, "title": "CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "# 170 \n## 110 \n\nThe Tai station is where the junction of the Altaishan-Manas and Altaishan-Chuguchak tracks is located. It has only been in existence for a year and was created by the energetic Amban of Altaishan, who is trying to extend the Tai system to these districts. A Mongol camp, Utubuluk, lies nearby and is in charge of the station. A tiny trickle of water comes slowly down here from the Sanreshan.\n\nAt mile 7, we crossed a similar trickle, and from then on, we kept crossing dry beds down which the melted snows descend from the mountains, fertilizing the whole plain. At mile 14, we passed, a mile to our left, the small lama temple of Bayinobo, and at mile 22.3 reached another known as \"O wa te miao,\" where the lamas allowed us to stay for the night. This temple is wealthier than Bayinobo, and its shrines are clean and well cared for. Among the countless votive offerings of little value hanging on the walls, such as old guns, bows and arrows, swords, scarves, mule-bells, etc., was an old coat of mail and casque, which might have been of some value.\n\n## September 22\nThe lamas here allow themselves moustaches, a privilege that would shock the Dalai Lama.\n\nContinuing westwards, we reached the princely residence after 9 miles. This is situated about a mile from the hills, on the south side of the valley. The range at its back is called the **Bayin zurkan aderik**. The encampment is visible soon after leaving Owatemiao. It consists of a group of yourts lying around the tribal temple, which is built halfway up a large natural mound, this being surmounted by a joss of the ordinary pattern and a large obo of sticks, to which hang white and yellow streamers. The yourts are half-enclosed by mud walls built with entire irregularity, and the sight of these explained the meaning of the other two remains of walls on the plain, former encampments from which the Prince had moved.\n\nThe Prince lives at the south-east end of the encampment, in two white yourts in summer and in a low mud house immediately behind these in winter. In this latter, he is able to have a Russian stove. His Highness sent me his greetings and kindly caused two yourts to be erected for me on the plain. I called on him in the afternoon. He is a fat lad of 20 years, rather shy but with agreeable manners. He has never been to Peking and should have gone this year but excused himself on the plea of business. The trouble of getting there and back and the great expense are probably the real reasons. He has been to Chuguchak several times and has come into contact with Russians there, which explained why his room was full of photos, watches and clocks, and the inevitable gramophone. He told me that no foreigner had ever visited his capital, and seemed very gratified that one had come. The Government pays him an annual subsidy of 2,000 taels and presents of silk. His brother is Gegen of the family temple here. He has no soldiers. His favourite amusement is fox-hunting with an eagle, and this sport he indulges in sometimes five days a week in winter. The huge bird was brought into the room during our conversation and made such a din that it was impossible to hear ourselves speak. The Prince is married but has no children as yet. He speaks no Chinese; as a boy, he learnt a little from a Shansi man but has forgotten it all. His name is Ochingwang. He was dressed in a dark red silk robe and wore huge spectacles and a Chinese pork-pie hat with a peacock feather and red button. He agreed to furnish camels for the six days' journey to Chuguchak. The population of his capital must be some 250, of whom more than 200 will be lamas, but the neighbourhood is crowded with yourts. A small stream trickles past the encampment. His subjects who live close by pay no taxes of any kind; they simply work for His Highness and give their animals when required or take care of his beasts. Those of his subjects who live at a distance pay taxes in animals when required, these occasions being when the Prince marries or makes a journey. I was told that they then give one animal out of every ten. This seems excessive, but I believe what happens is this: The Prince sends round a man who asks how many animals a family possesses. If the owner has 200, he will drive 150 to the mountains and say he has only 50; of these, 5 will be taken. No one seems to mind, and the State is run in a happy patriarchal manner.\n\n## September 23\nThe day was spent idly in camp, and arrangements were made for the camels to leave on the morrow. The Prince's factor said that I could pay any sum for these that I pleased—that it was simply a present and would be divided among the Prince's servants. His Highness was embarrassing in his attentions all day. He sent Tartar koumiss in the morning, followed by a dinner from the princely kitchen in the afternoon, while a roll of silk and a present of money arrived for my suite. Towards sunset, the wind, which had been violent all day, increased to a gale, and the Prince very thoughtfully sent men to tie the roofs of the tents securely.\n\n## September 24\nThough the morning was grey and cold and a drizzle falling, there was nothing to do but set out for Chuguchak. We continued up the valley to the west by a well-defined track. At mile 6, we reached the end of the Bayinzurkanaderik and crossed some brooks that flow down the valley behind the range. The stream is known as the Khobakingol. The valley, hitherto 5 miles broad, now became double that width, taking in all the valley up to the Semustau, as the Hassacks call the impenetrable wall of mountains to our left (the Mongols call it Hottenula). Near to where the valley broadens is a large Mongol encampment, and this is the only one we sighted all day, despite the fact that water is abundant and pasturage is excellent. At mile 23, we reached a fair-sized stream known as the Damingol, by the side of which was a Hassack camp. The stream flows north and south and is diverted eastwards by the Semustau range. It forms a good deal of marshy ground. The natives say it flows into the Khobakingol. The people of this district were prudently stacking a great deal of grass into ricks for winter fodder. They say they have to pay two taxes—the first being one sheep per tent per year to the Tourgout Prince, the other being 9, 6, or 3 taels a year to the Chinese Government at Chuguchak, according to the class in which they are placed. They dislike this arrangement but seemed very merry notwithstanding.\n\n## September 25\nA little wood is burnt here when the Hassacks are energetic enough to bring it from the north face of the mountains that lie to the north of the camp. Last night was fearfully wild; a violent gale blew from the west, accompanied by hail and thunder and lightning. The hills this morning were deep in snow.\n\nAll day long, thousands of geese were flying south.\n\nAt... \n\nLeaving to the west, we began at once to climb steadily through low hills, which soon became mountains. Water was fairly abundant, and the mountain sides were covered with grass. The track was good the whole way and certainly possible for carts. We reached the top of the pass at mile 9 and, keeping north-west, began to descend the Semustau mountains, maintaining their west direction. In front of us lay a confused mass of low mountains. The Saureshan kept parallel with us in a north-westerly direction. Descending very easily for 2 miles, we passed a second obo and entered Russian territory, which at this point runs like a wedge for a few miles southwards into the hills. At mile 11, we began to descend abruptly down a small stream, and at mile 18 were abreast of the Mongol Tai maintained by the Chinese Government along this, the only road to Chuguchak from the east. The valley of the stream now broadened to a plain, across which we looked towards the Zaisan mountain range. The track turned west and kept on the lower slopes of the hills and above the plain. At mile 21, we were abreast of a Russian picket a mile to the right of us. Here the track turned south-west up a gently sloping valley, keeping up this for 13 miles, we halted at one of the numerous Hassack camps.\n\nThe Hassack name of the picket is Jeldi. It commands the valley. There are said to be between thirty and forty Cossacks maintained there from March to September every year, the only months when the road is in use. They are said to scrutinize travellers very closely. I do not know if this is correct, for the picket showed no sign of life as we passed. The valley in which we slept is called Baimirze, and the mountains to the left of us are the Minkerjirgal.\n\n## September 26\nThe wolves were unusually busy last night, and the dogs were at work the whole night leaping round to face the attack. Night in a nomad encampment is by no means as delightfully still as could be wished. The cattle and horses are tethered to the tents and keep a perpetual lowing and neighing, the sheep and goats are quite close and bleat at intervals, while the camels join in the chorus with their hateful complaining noise, and dogs are perpetually barking at real or imaginary foes.\n\nAscending the gentle slopes of the valley, which is here some mile wide, we passed half a mile later a mound 300 yards to our left, a boundary mark; and we were now back in China again. The valley then gradually grew broader, the top of the ascent was reached imperceptibly, and we began to descend gently by the gully of the Ulanhodjur. At mile 6, the valley seemed to end, the hills closing in on either side, just leaving room for the stream to descend sharply through the mountains. At mile 9, we were abreast of the Government station of Ulanhodjur and then descended the picturesque narrow gorge, sometimes 200 feet above the stream, at other times descending to and crossing it. The road now became impossible for carts. The hills maintained their height; as we descended, we found ourselves soon among mountains again.\n\nAt mile 15¼, at an obo, we came to an unusually steep descent, lasting a mile and a quarter, and here we had the last view of the snow-clad mountains of the Saureshan behind us and the first view of the plain of Chuguchak. At mile 21, we were out on the plain, with the mounts of Tarbagatai running on our right to the west. Passing to the Government station of Ulanhotto, we kept in a south-westerly direction across the plain to the encampment known as Shobonobo. The plain was covered with good pasturage.\n\n## 111", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-362 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 423453, "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": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "# AFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n## CONFIDENTIAL.\n\n### No. 1.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received October 25.)\n\n**(No. 364.)**\nSir,\n\nPeking, October 7, 1909.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 357 of the 29th ultimo, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a despatch from His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghae dealing with the present position of the Whangpoo Conservancy Scheme.\n\nAs you will already have gathered from my despatch above mentioned, the funds at the disposal of the Conservancy Board are exhausted, and it is absolutely necessary, if the work is not to be discontinued, that an immediate grant should be made to allow the dredging operations to be carried on. This necessity, as distinct from the wider question of the ways and means to provide for the whole scheme of works prepared by M. de Rijke, was duly emphasised by the dean in the memorandum enclosed in my previous despatch, and stress was also laid upon it during our interview at the Wai-wu Pu on the 21st ultimo.\n\nThe enclosed despatch fully explains the deadlock which has now arisen at Shanghae, and the situation therein described rendered it advisable, in my opinion, to urge the Chinese Government to hasten their decision. Accordingly on the 4th instant I spoke to Liang Tun-yen, and again impressed upon him the importance of taking immediate steps to provide funds for the continuance of the dredging, even if the wider question was not capable of a rapid solution.\n\nLiang said that the Chinese Government quite realised the urgent nature of the situation with regard to the dredging operations, which they agreed could not be discontinued without endangering the maritime prospects of Shanghae, but he stated that the Taotai had reported that 300,000 taels would be enough to enable them to be resumed. His Excellency again spoke strongly in condemnation of the manner in which the work had been carried out, and alluded once more to the carelessness and dishonesty which had attended the operations of the Dredging Company. He finally assured me that the Government would take steps very soon to provide funds for immediate needs, and that the larger question of provision for the works contemplated within the next five years would subsequently be carefully considered.\n\nThe dean of the diplomatic body also went to the Wai-wu Pu on the 5th instant to speak on the same subject, but he only saw Lien-fang, who was unable to speak with any authority, and the interview was consequently of no real consequence. I have to-day suggested to M. de Kuczynski that we should demand an interview with the Wai-wu Pu and press the matter upon their attention. This suggestion is now being circulated amongst our colleagues.\n\nI have just received a telegram from Sir Pelham Warren informing me that the Chamber of Commerce of Shanghae propose to call a public meeting unless arrangements are made for the resumption of dredging operations by the 11th instant.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

In the end, an enquiry was held, and he was ordered at his own expense to reboil it, separating the good from the bad, and adding a sufficient quantity of the pure article to bring the whole amount of nearly 200,000 oz. up to standard. This he did; but the difficulties of the store were not then over: there were no branch stores or licensed dens or \"p'i fa tien\" to assist in the disposal of the rehabilitated stock; the police and headmen of the different wards of the city, whose services were sought, refused to have anything to do with it, and it has now been arranged that so-called reputable merchants, furnished with adequate guarantees, shall be allowed to purchase and sell it. As a Chinaman justly observed, this opens the way to various abuses, and any person charged with smoking can retort that he is consuming the official drug. It may be taken for granted that the authorities care naught so long as the stock can be sold and the accounts of the store be duly squared. It is reported that the nefarious deputy has been dismissed, and it is estimated that his speculative venture will have involved him in an outlay of several thousand taels. He remains, however, in Chungking, and is possibly being detained until the whole business is settled. It may here be explained that opium dens being, on paper, now non-existent, the necessity for \"kuan kao tien\" should cease; but it will be understood from what has just been said that the officials do not mean to be left with any surplus stocks.\n\n## 2. Area under Opium Cultivation\n\nBasing my conclusions on the statistics with which this report opens and on information acquired in a general way, I have no doubt that the area under opium cultivation in Eastern Szechuan last season was much in excess of that during the preceding one, and was, I am disposed to think, up to the average of previous years. To do full justice to this part of the matter, extended travel is necessary, but I can say this much from personal observation, namely, that in April last, the poppy was growing in abundance along both banks of the Yang-tsze the whole way from Chungchou to Chungking, passing by Shih Chu Ting, Fengtu, and Fuchou, a distance by water of 540 li. Two ostensible causes may be assigned for this increase: firstly, the vacillating and changeable policy of the officials; and, secondly, the threat of total prohibition this autumn. Though operating on the minds of the people in different ways, the effect was the same: the man who saw that his neighbour had not suffered by cultivation the previous season again took heart, while the threat of impending total prohibition acted as a stimulant to sow as much seed as possible and make hay while the sun still shone. In fact, the Chungking prefect is, as stated by my predecessor in his opium report for November and December 1908, popularly credited with having said that the people might grow as much as they liked last season as there would be no poppy allowed this.\n\n## 3. Taxation in Substitution of Opium Revenue\n\nTwo taxes have been introduced which are to take effect throughout the province. One is an increase of 3 cash per catty on salt and the other an addition of 200 cash on every pig slaughtered for food.\n\nI have endeavoured to form an estimate of the revenue previously collected by the provincial authorities on salt, and of the extra amount likely to be obtained from the increased taxation now imposed. Mr. George Jamieson, in his report on the revenue and expenditure of the Chinese Empire, 1896, puts the total revenue accruing to the province from this commodity at 2,170,000 taels. He takes the total production at 400,000,000 catties, and reckons 1,600 cash to the tael. Substituting Sir Alexander Hosie's round figures of 500,000,000 catties for the 400,000,000 mentioned by Mr. Jamieson, and taking 1,500 cash to the tael—which is a better average rate for Szechuan at the present time—I estimate that the total annual revenue previous to the new increase was approximately 2,500,000 taels, and that the addition of 3 cash per catty will furnish a further sum of 1,000,000 taels, which is 100,000 taels in excess of 900,000 taels, the amount of native opium li-kin as reported to the Peking Government in the 28th year of Kuang Hsu.\n\nThe additional levy on pigs which became operative on the 1st of the 8th moon (13th September) was inaugurated by a viceregal proclamation, in which the people were given to understand that the proceeds were to be sent to the Board of Finance as the province's contribution towards the loss of revenue which will result to the board from the eradication of opium. The Viceroy in his proclamation estimates that the additional tax will not raise the cost of pork more than 1 to 2 cash a-lb. (catty). The future may bear testimony to his sagacity; but at the present moment, the price of pork in Chungking is 112 cash per catty; it had not previously gone above 100. Two or three months only have elapsed since the former levy of 300 cash per pig was increased to 400, and the pork butchers have taken advantage of the new impost to run up prices as above described and to fix a minimum of 106 cash a catty. This, however, is somewhat of a digression, and, to return to the point at issue, pork and salt will provide the funds necessary to meet the demands at present made by Peking, it being presumed that the former acknowledged revenue of 900,000 taels from opium li-kin was held at the disposal of the Central Government. There remains the question of provincial requirements.\n\nThe salt levy will, as previously explained, apparently leave a small surplus of 100,000 taels. Salt being a Government monopoly, its taxation is easily controlled, and it would appear that the idea of the present Viceroy is to obtain a tighter grip on the revenue derived from other sources and to some extent concentrate taxation. Thus, except in the small districts, fees on land transfers have been taken from the magistrates and are now collected by the inland revenue officers, who are appointed from Chengtu, and who have also been made responsible for the taxes on wine, oil, and pork. In principle, there is a good deal to be said for the Viceroy's scheme, as there is for his recent innovation of a fixed scale of salaries for district magistrates; in practice, there is good reason to doubt whether these measures will be equal to the strain put upon them, and one may look to see the old abuses, where not continued in whole or in part, give place to new. Generally speaking, too, it may be expected that the different localities will be largely left to shift for themselves, and that fresh taxes will spring up according to place and circumstance. Some districts report new levies on inns, coal, tea shops, and paper; at Chungking, however, the only increase which can to date be definitely ascribed to opium reform is—excluding, of course, salt and pork—the tax on tea shops of 10 cash per table per diem reported in my intelligence report for the June quarter.\n\n## 4. The Position of the Szechuan Farmers\n\nThe conditions of tenancy of agricultural land in the province of Szechuan are not, I believe, generally known. Briefly, the position is this: The land-owner when leasing to the tenant exacts an adequate deposit in cash as security; the summer crop of rice, less a percentage calculated in various ways, belongs to the land-owner; the winter crops are the tenant's own, and they, with the percentage on the summer crop, which I have heard stated may be taken at a rough average of 25 per cent., are supposed to recoup the tenant for his labour and furnish a proper rate of interest on his deposit money. It will, of course, be understood that this is a mere outline of the system, and does not embrace the numerous modifications of which every Chinese arrangement of the kind is capable. The winter crops, then, being the tenant's, it follows per se that the opium crop falls to him and not to the land-owner. I have already shown that a rough average assesses the profits on the poppy cultivation at three to four times the amount of those on pulse and cereals. I think that this fact should be borne well in mind when we are told, generally by missionaries, that the people in the province are in favour of opium reform. Such a state of mind does not accord with the character of the Chinese. It is, in fact, quite evident that the entire prohibition of opium cultivation is a very serious matter for large numbers of Szechuanese farmers; it deprives them of their most profitable crop without making provision for an equally valuable substitute. It is easy to talk of sericulture, tea-planting, and cotton; but time, knowledge, suitable physical conditions, and capital are needed to make these industries pay. What is possible in one place is not suited to another, and for the most part, I understand that, should the poppy not be allowed, its place in Ch'uan Tung can, in the immediate future, only be taken by the usual winter crops of pulse, cereals, and rape. It will be said that the prices of these foodstuffs will thereby be reduced. So they will, but the cheaper they become, the smaller the margin of profit affecting both land-owner and tenant—the former indirectly; and it must be remembered that in average years, Szechuan already produces enough to feed its large population.\n\n## 5. The Effect of Opium Reform on the Economic Conditions of Szechuan\n\nTo put the matter tersely, opium prohibition involves Szechuan in a commercial and fiscal revolution. New sources of revenue have to be found, and I have shown under the preceding heading that the farmer will be a keen sufferer, intimating that the land-owner will be called upon to share in the tenant's loss. I have, in fact, already heard of local meetings between landlords and tenants, the stand taken by the latter being that they cannot lease on the old terms if deprived of the benefits of poppy cultivation. Farmers and land-owners, however, do not stand alone. Opium, as before stated, is the province's most valuable developed asset, and to Szechuan, opium is money, for the whole trade of the province with the outer world is practically an exchange in kind in the hands of the merchant capitalists who (vide Chungking Trade Report for 1903) control the import of yarn and export of opium and silk. Thus, it may be anticipated that the abolition of opium will induce a decline in the import of \n\nPage 9 \n\n[2494 p--3] \n\nD \n\n248", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427323, "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": "CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11]", "page_number": 407, "title": "CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11]", "content_text": "ECA\n\nよ\n\n104.\n\na sdi las\n\n{\n\nwiewumit or el reddey all onet\n\nTels) evi, od kad si Ji Jet) nol oz\n\nI folds of al of ones adpofáni cd Jeed\n\nma'? „ovode bles wet I SA (a) I tena?\n\nmfnośke aliosdoutmrzí§* begafla\n\ndu voet afd yeery of Lalit eved 06 consi Pico sad ati odnely\n\nProud Jood edt af „ed) yu kan nolacj Ianog moped fund furnoi add ddiw ob\n\nnd wifden sved fuzij dat vi odols\n\n„one!

There is little detailed information. The province was divided into forty-five electoral districts for the first election of delegates, and eight centres for the second election of the members of the assembly.\n\nFirst Election.--The election of delegates took place on the 7th May, 1909, and it is stated that 52,679 qualified voters registered their votes. Assuming the population of the province to be about 8,000,000, there was approximately one qualified voter to every 150 inhabitants, or double the proportion in Shantung.\n\nSecond Election. Composition of Assembly.--The election of members occurred on the 1st June. Of the 50 elected, 26 have official rank, 42 have literary degrees, and 4 have studied in Japan. They vary in age from 30 to 74.\n\nOpening Ceremony.-The opening of the assembly took place on the fixed date, the 14th October, in the presence of the Viceroy and governor, a special building costing 60,000 taels (£7,000) having been erected for the purpose.\n\nBusiness.---According to the press reports, the following questions have been placed before the Mukden assembly for discussion:\n\n1. Funds for local government purposes.\n\n2. Prohibition of opium.\n\n3. Organisation of police.\n\n4. Funds for education.\n\n5. Organisation of agricultural associations.\n\n6. Extension of wheat and bean crops.\n\n7. Improvement of sericulture and wool.\n\n8. Currency, trade, waterways, mines, and fisheries questions.\n\n9. Reorganisation of the land and other taxes.\n\n### KIRIN PROVINCE\n\nOpposition to Governor.-No information except a general statement that the assembly has manifested a strong opposition to the policy of the governor, who is reported to have written to the Viceroy stating that the province is not yet ripe for the adoption of parliamentary institutions. (These reports have since been denied in the press).\n\n### HEILUNGCHIANG PROVINCE\n\nOpening-Beyond a bare announcement that the assembly was opened at Tsitsihar at the due date by the governor, there is little information in the press.\n\n## CHIHLI\n\nOpening Ceremony. The provincial assembly of Chihli held its opening meeting on the 14th October in Li Hung-chang's Memorial Temple at Hopei, Tien-tsin.\n\nSpecial assembly buildings are at present being erected on an extensive scale, but will not be completed before May next.\n\nViceroy's Speech-His Excellency Tuan Fang, Viceroy of Chihli, opened the proceedings, in the presence of a full attendance of members, by reading the Imperial edict of the 13th October. In the subsequent speech, the Viceroy dwelt particularly on two points:\n\n1. In considering local interests, the assembly should always keep steadily in mind the larger national interests.\n\n2. The assembly must beware of overstepping the limited rights conferred upon it.\n\nA president and two vice-presidents were then elected. Salaries are fixed as follows: president, 150 taels per month; vice-president, 120 taels; and members, 70 taels per month, with travelling expenses.\n\nGovernment Programme of Business.--The subjects submitted by Viceroy Tuan and discussed by the assembly were:-\n\n1. A proposal to substitute cash for grain tribute from certain districts.\n\n2. Institution of a census.\n\n3. The development of instruction in easy writing.\n\n4. The reform of the police regulations.\n\n5. Enquiry into the system of official runners.\n\nTo these has to be added-\n\n6. Plan for carrying out local autonomy in Chihli, a subject suggested by the Constitutional Government Committee.\n\nDebates. Owing to the number and variety of subjects for discussion, the original session of forty days was extended ten days. The debates were open to the public, but it appears that few took advantage of this privilege. They were not reported in the native press, which is apparently waiting for the presentation of the assembly's reports and the Viceroy's comments thereon before dealing with the subject. The session was concluded on the 3rd December, when nine members were elected to represent the assembly in the Senate.\n\nRelations of Assembly to Senate and Central Government.-The regulations which govern the constitution of the assembly provide that the opinions it forms should be submitted direct to the Senate in Peking. In the meantime, as the Senate is not yet in being, the assembly reports to the Viceroy, who, at the conclusion of the session, explains the official attitude on the subjects of the reports. It has been suggested by a censor that this viceregal superintendence detracts to a great extent from the usefulness of the assembly, the object of whose existence is the discussion of public affairs by persons independent of the Government. That the central Government is exceedingly anxious as to the behaviour of the newly-constituted body is evidenced by the fact that they have several times by telegram urged the Viceroy to keep a strict watch that the assembly does not exceed its rights, and that this nervousness is to some extent justified may be realised from the reports that twelve representatives of the assembly requested the Wai-wu Pu in a memorial to cancel the agreement lately concluded between China and Japan concerning the Manchurian question. Interference of this sort in matters which lie between the central Government and foreign States was of course frowned upon, and the memorial promptly pigeon-holed. The incident serves to draw one's attention to what will be a certain source of trouble in the future.\n\nThe above is taken from a memorandum by Mr. G. A. Combe, of His Britannic Majesty's consulate-general at Tien-tsin.\n\n## HONAN\n\nPreliminary Steps,-We learn from a published memorial of the Governor of Honan that in November 1908, an organisation office was established, and preliminary steps after the Shantung model were taken.\n\nVoting Lists-Voting lists were completed by March 1909, and the elections commenced in June.\n\nOpening. The opening of the assembly at K'ai-feng-fu at 10 A.M. on the 14th October was mentioned in the native press.

This number being insufficient to return the five members required (by the rules there must be ten delegates for each member), further elections were held on the 29th March and 18th April.\n\nOn the 5th May the five members were elected by ballot at the Sungkiang prefecture, All five are graduates.\n\nSalaries of Assembly Officers.-The salaries paid to members and officers of the Kiangsu assembly are:-\n\nPresident\n\nVice-President\n\nChief Secretary\n\nSecretaries\n\nMembers of Standing Committee\n\nTaels.\n\n(a-month)\n\n150\n\n120\n\n100\n\n30\n\n70\n\nThese salaries and the travelling expenses of all the members are paid by the Viceroy.\n\nKIANGSI,\n\nMr. Worner, His Majesty's consul at Kiukiang, has reported as follows:--- Preparatory Steps.\" Very little has been done in this province. The Governor issued instructions to all the Fa, Ting, Chou, and Hsien to establish local deliberative bodies in accordance with the regulations issued by the Peking Government.\n\nOpening of Assembly at Nan Ch'ong.-\"The Nan Chiang provincial assembly was opened by the governor on the 1st day of the 9th moon (14th October), all the civil and military officials, gentry, merchants, scholars, &c., to the number of 1,000 being present. The governor made a short speech, pointing out the nature of this new institution, and exhorting all to act together for the good of the country.\n\nDiscontent caused by Census.\" The enforcement of the provision respecting the taking of the census caused much discontent in some places. From those districts where it was properly carried out reports have been sent in, but in others abuses by the census officials led to disturbances. In Yuan Chou the people collected together and burnt the census office, and much fighting took place, many being killed and wounded. In Lo Ping, Po Yang, Te An, Jui Chang, Wu Ning, and Wen An, small disturbances also took place, the census officers being attacked and wounded,\n\nAppointment of President and Vice-Presidents.\" On the 2nd of the 9th moon the governor ordered the election of one head and two vice-presidents. Hsich Yuan-han, who was chosen as president, was objected to by more than forty members, but was subsequently confirmed in the appointment, together with the two elected vice-presidents, Huang Ta-hsun and Kuo Yu-ping.\"\n\nHUPEL\n\nFirst and Second Elections; Electorate.-Mr. Fraser reports that the first elections in the Hupei districts were held in May, and the second elections in July, Voting lists were publicly displayed at the magistrates' offices, and revised with the aid of special committees. (The total number of electors in the province is 113,233). \"The provision confining the vote to natives of each district resulted, in Hankow, where the chief business men come from Canton, Ningpo, and Swatow, in excluding from candidature the best known and most prominent persons. The London Mission assures me that there was no trace of anti-Christian prejudice and a good many of its native members exercised the right of voting.\"\n\nOpening Ceremony.The following interesting account of the opening ceremony of the Hupei provincial assembly is a translation by Mr. A. J. Martin from the native press:----\n\n\"Yesterday, the 1st day of the 9th month, was the date fixed for the opening ceremony of the provincial assembly.\n\n\"Some days previously the office for making preparations for the provincial assembly had hoisted the dragon flag on the main hall of the Educational Society's building, which was lent for the occasion, and had there erected a canopy for the Imperial edict and stretched a coloured awning outside the eaves.\n\n\"At 9 A.M. on the appointed day the president, vice-president, and the other members, wearing winter hats, festal black jackets, and blue robes, but without their official rosaries, met at Hsun Tao Ling, in the waiting-room prepared for them in the grounds of the Educational Society. The administrative officials, i.e., the provincial treasurer, the commissioner of education, and the provincial judge, the salt taotai, the intendant of industry, the police taotai and the customs taotai, the prefects of Wachang and Hanyang, the Hsia K'ou sub-prefect, and the magistrates of Chiang Hsia and Hanyang assembled at 9 A.M. in the guest hall made ready for them in the grounds of the Educational Society, and the invited guests gradually assembled in the ante-room appointed for them.\n\nExhibition of Imperial Decree.—“At 10A.M. the Viceroy arrived and alighted outside the coloured awning, and was shown by the master of the ceremonies into the waiting room. He rested here a short time while the officials of the office for making preparations for the provincial assembly offered him tea. When it was announced that the final preparations had been made, the master of ceremonies conducted the Viceroy to the space in front of the Imperial edict in the main hall; the other high officials following in order of precedence. The president, vice-president, and the other members of the assembly were then separately ushered in by the master of ceremonies. When all had been arranged in their appointed places the Viceroy's cushion was placed in the centre of the front row before the Imperial edict. The president's cushion was then placed on a level with, and to the right of, the Viceroy's. In the second row were the provincial treasurer, the commissioner of education, and provincial judge, with the salt taotai, the intendant of industry, the police taotai, and the customs taotai.\n\n\"In the third row were placed the cushions of the prefects of Wachang and Hanyang, the Hsia K'ou sub-prefect, and the magistrates of Chiang Hsia and Hanyang, and on their left were ranged the members of the provincial assembly. When all the cushions had been placed in order the master of ceremonies cried ‘Kneel!' and the whole assembly knelt. He then ordered the Imperial edict to be read, and when this had been done he called on the assembly to kneel thrice and kotow nine times in token of gratitude for the Imperial favour. This done, he called on the assembly to stand up, and they left their appointed places.\n\nThe executive officials were then ordered to take up their positions in order of precedence on the right, and the president, vice-president, and members of the provincial assembly to take up their positions on the left and bow thrice, the ceremony of greeting.\n\n\"The master of ceremonies next gave the order to perform the opening ceremony, conducted the concourse to the doors of the assembly-house, and retired. The executive officials and the president, vice-president, and members entered the house in order by the main door and took their seats. The guests entered by the east and west doors and took their seats apart in a side room. The Viceroy was seated behind the president; the provincial treasurer, commissioner for education, and the provincial judge sat in a row on his left; the salt taotai, the intendant of industry, police taotai, and customs taotai on his right.\n\n\"The prefects of Wuchang and Hanyang, and the Hsia K'ou sub-prefect, and the magistrates of Chiang Hsia and Hanyang had special seats.\n\nViceroy's SpeechThe Viceroy rose and made a congratulatory speech, the assembly meanwhile standing. After they had resumed their seats the president rose and replied, the assembly again standing. The president and vice-president then accompanied the Viceroy and executive officials to their waiting-rooms, where they remained for a few minutes, the stewards performing the same function for the guests.\n\n[2605 7-2]\n\nE\n\n149", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428231, "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": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 156, "title": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": ".22 \n\ndeputies were elected, distributed as follows among the prefectures and departments of the province\n\nKuang-chou-fu Cha-chou-fu Chao Ching-fu Hui-chou fu.. \n\nKao-chou-fu Chiung-chou-fu Shan-Chou-fu Lieu-chon-fu Lei-chon-fu.. \n\nLo Ting-chou \n\n36 11 \n\ng \n\n} \n\nChia Ying-chou \n\nYang Chiang-chou \n\nLien-chou \n\nNan Hung-chou \n\nChin-chou \n\n1 \n\nYai-chou \n\n1 \n\nManchu Garrison of Canton \n\n3 \n\n\"The majority of these are men who have served as officials, have some official rank and degree, or have been teachers. The mercantile class, pure and simple, seems unrepresented.\n\nNew Assembly Hall.\" The new assembly hall, which is built in foreign style at an estimated cost of 120,000 taels, is situated outside the east gate of the city of Canton. It was not ready by the 14th October, and indeed was first used by the assembly on the 6th November. Meanwhile, the assembly met at the old governor's yamên. The first day was spent on the opening ceremony, on the details of which much thought had been expended. Unlike some of the other provincial capitals, no foreigners were invited or were present at the opening. The official programme was as follows:- \n\nOpening Ceremony. At 8 A.M. on the 14th October, the deputies having all assembled, the governor-general left the reception room and took up his position with all the other provincial officials on the east side of the hall, the deputies facing him on the west side. Both parties then made three deep bows. The governor-general thereupon took his seat at the head of the ball. An official then asked his Excellency to begin the opening ceremony. The governor-general and his deputies stood up, and an official read out the opening address, after which another official read out the reply to the address. When the reply had been read out, the officials and deputies withdrew.\n\nElection of Officers and Standing Committee.-\"The next three or four meetings were spent on the election of the president, two vice-presidents, and nineteen members of the standing committee. For the post of president was selected one I-Hsüch-ching, a representative of Chao Ching Fu, a graduate and a man of excellent repute. Considerable difficulty was experienced in the election of the standing committee, as at first it was ruled that it was necessary to secure over a moiety of the votes of the full assembly before the election was valid. This was found impracticable, and it was not till it was decided that a moiety of the votes of those present was sufficient that the last six of the standing committee were elected.\n\n\"No business was transacted until the assembly were able to meet in the new hall, which was formally opened by the governor-general on the 6th November. The first business meeting was held on the 7th November.\n\nArrangement of Seats.-\"The arrangement of the deputies' seats is in a fan shape, in ascending tiers. Facing them is the rostrum, in front of which are seated the clerks. Behind the rostrum is seated the president flanked by the two vice-presidents. Behind him on a higher level is the governor-general's chair, and seats for the Tartar general, admiral, general, and the two lieutenant-generals. On either side of the deputies' seats are places for the various provincial and territorial officials.\n\nMandarin or Cantonese Dialect spoken in Debates.\" In speaking, either mandarin or Cantonese may be used, but whichever is used is translated into the other dialect by a clerk. Certain subjects for debate are submitted to the assembly by the Hui] Ting, a body established by the present governor-general on his arrival in Canton, consisting of the local, provincial, and territorial officials and the governor-general's foreign secretaries, but not including members of the assembly, though the latter are permitted to attend the meeting as spectators.\n\nProgramme of Business.\" So far the following subjects have been named- \n\nThe suppression of gambling.\n\n\"The abolition of the old police force.\n\n\"The reform of prisons.\n\n\"The application of revenue from family property towards the maintenance of establishments for carrying on the trade or handicraft of the family or clan.\n\n\"The establishment of workhouses.\n\n23 \n\n\"It is not apparent what the result of the assembly's deliberations will be on the reform movement, or what exactly are their powers beyond discussing these and kindred topics, and passing resolutions which they would transmit to the governor-general, to adopt or not as he might think fit.\n\nFriction between Assembly and Viceroy over Mode of Address in written Communications. -A slight friction between the assembly and the governor-general has arisen over the mode of address to be used in communications with each other. The governor-general ordered that he would communicate with the assembly in a 'cha wen,' while they would reply with a chao hui.' The objection to this was that to any han lin' among the deputies the governor-general would have to address a 'chao hui,' and the distinction was one derogatory to the dignity of the assembly as a whole. The desire is that both sides should communicate in chao hui' form. The matter has been referred to Peking.\n\nEstimated Expenses of Assembly.\"The annual expenses of the assembly have been estimated as follows\n\nSalary of president.. \n\nSalary of two vice-presidents \n\nSalary of nineteen resident deputies \n\nSalary of seventy-two other deputies Salary of clerks Miscellaneous expenses \n\nTotal \n\n:::::: \n\nYUNNAN, \n\nTaels. \n\n2,100 \n\n2,880 \n\n15,960 \n\n10,080 \n\n2,880 \n\n18,227 \n\n52,427 \n\nOpening-Little is known yet beyond that the assembly was duly opened on the 14th October, the chief officials and over 100 of the notables being present. The president and two vice-presidents are graduates and expectant officials. subject for discussion was the levying of taxes for the support of schools.\n\nThe first \n\nLocal Disappointment at Outcome of Elections.-1t is understood that the people of Yunnan city are disappointed that none of their representatives were elected to the assembly, and that the officials are correspondingly pleased.\n\nA report on the assemblies of Yunnan* (and Kueichou) is expected from His Majesty's consul-general.\n\nKUEICHOU.\n\nAssembly opened; Reported Protest by President.-A mere reference to the opening of the assembly at Kueilin on the 14th October is found in the foreign press, the native papers containing no information. A special building of foreign type has been erected, and it appears that the president was forced to make a vigorous protest against an attempted encroachment on the privileges of the assembly by the governor.\n\nNEW DOMINION.\n\nDifficulty of including New Dominion in the Scheme.The remoteness of the New Dominion, in conjunction with the wide difference of race and custom of the bulk of the population, which is scanty and scattered, must have suggested a doubt whether the inclusion of the region in a scheme of popular government was practicable or wise, but the central Government evidently considered that the political risk run by differentiating it from the rest of the Empire, and so perhaps facilitating a future separation, were greater than any immediate danger likely to arise locally from the new experiment. However, it is not surprising to find that the officers on the spot hold strong opinions against the adoption pure and simple of the scheme which is considered suitable for the eighteen provinces and Manchuria.\n\n----- \n\nAssembly formed in 1908 altered into Organisation Office. In a memorial published in the \"Official Gazette\"\" of the 14th June the governor of the New Dominion reported that, in obedience to the Imperial decree, an assembly was formed in July 1908, with a president and vice-presidents, but that on receipt of the rules and election law from the Constitutional Government committee, whose directions were to begin with an organisation office, the assembly was altered to an *(P.S.-This report has been sent to the Foreign Office directly by Mr. O'Brien-Butler.)\n\n154", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428275, "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": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 200, "title": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "2\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nLoan Agreement respecting Imperial Railways of North China.\n\nAGREEMENT made between his Excellency Hsu Shih Chang, Viceroy of Manchuria, and his Excellency Tang Shao-Yi, Governor of Fengtien, acting under the authority of the Imperial Chinese Government, of the one part, and the British and Chinese Corporation (Limited) (hereinafter called \"the corporation\") of the other part, for the issue and regulation of a loan for the construction of an extension of the Imperial Railways of North China from Sin Min Ting, their present northern terminus, to Fakumen, a point about 50 miles to the north-east (hereinafter known as \"the extension\").\n\nARTICLE 1. The corporation shall issue on behalf of the Imperial Chinese Government a sterling loan of 500,000l. (hereinafter referred to as \"the loan\") on the terms and conditions as hereinafter contained. The loan shall be known as \"The Imperial Railways of North China Loan of 1907\"; it shall be in one issue and its price to the Imperial Chinese Government shall be the actual price at which it is issued to the public, less a flotation charge of 53/4 points retainable by the corporation, that is to say, a charge of 51l. 10s. for every 100l. bond issued.\n\nThe interest on the bonds shall be at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the nominal principal, calculated from the date on which the loan is issued to the public, and shall be paid by the railway administration to the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation for account of the bondholders, in half-yearly instalments, according to the amounts specified in the schedule attached to this agreement, and fourteen days before their due dates, Western calendar, as calculated from the date of issue of the loan.\n\nArt. 2. The loan shall be issued to the public as soon as practicable after the signing of this agreement, and not later than twelve months after signature thereof. As regards the actual date of issue, it is understood that the Corporation will advise the Chinese Minister in London, for the information of the Imperial Chinese Government, as to the conditions of the market with a view to obtaining the most favourable price within the time limit above stated, and will act upon the Imperial Chinese Government's instructions, in due course issuing the loan and paying the proceeds thereof, subject to the provisions of Articles 1 and 6, to the credit of the railway administration. It is understood that for the purposes of this agreement the railway administration will be represented by the Viceroy of Manchuria and the Governor of Fengtien—or by their duly authorised representative.\n\nArt. 3. It is agreed that this extension shall form a part of the Imperial Railways of North China, and shall be administered and controlled in accordance with the system in force for the administration and working of the Imperial Railways of North China.\n\nArt. 4. The proceeds of the loan shall be solely and entirely applied to the construction and equipment of the extension, to the purchase of land properly required for the same, and to payment of interest on the loan during construction.\n\nIf, after completion of the extension, there should remain a balance from the proceeds of the loan to the credit of the railway construction account, such unused balance shall be transferred to the credit of the interest reserve fund, hereinafter mentioned in article 12 as provision for payments for which the Imperial Chinese Government is responsible under this agreement.\n\nArt. 5. The extension shall be constructed by Messrs. Pauling and Co. (Limited), London (hereinafter known as \"the contractors\"), in accordance with the conditions of the contract entered into between that firm and their Excellencies the Viceroy of Manchuria and the Governor of Fengtien on the 8th day of November, 1907.\n\nThe period of construction is estimated not to exceed two years, and shall commence within three months after the signature of this agreement. It has been agreed by the contractors that the line shall be built and completed to conform to the standard of construction and carrying capacity of the Imperial Railways of North China as existing on the section between Shanhai-kuan and Sin Min-ting.\n\nAfter completion of the contract, and during the currency of this loan, the railway administration undertakes to keep the extension, together with the buildings, works, rolling stock, &c., and dependencies, in good order and condition, and shall increase the rolling stock from time to time to such extent as shall be necessary for the requirements of the traffic. After completion of construction the extension will be under the same engineer-in-chief as the Imperial Railways of North China.\n\nIf, owing to unforeseen circumstances, the construction of the extension as above specified should not have been commenced before the expiry of three months after signature of this agreement, or if, owing to force majeure or other cause, the contractors should be prevented from completing the work of construction, then the railway administration shall take such steps as may be necessary to secure due and prompt completion of the extension under conditions to be arranged by the corporation.\n\nArt. 6. The Imperial Government of China being entitled to direct the corporation to issue this loan at any time within twelve months from the date of signature of this agreement, it is hereby agreed that, pending the issue of the loan, and within two months after signature of this agreement, the corporation shall place at the disposal of the railway administration the sum of 50,000l., to be held in Europe or remitted to China, as the railway administration may direct, as a first instalment on account of the proceeds of the loan. This amount of 50,000l., or whatever portion thereof is actually drawn, together with interest thereon not exceeding a charge of 6 per cent. per annum, shall be deducted from the proceeds of the first sale of the bonds.\n\nArt. 7. The loan shall be a first charge upon the freight and earnings of the extension, and, should these be insufficient to meet the payments of interest and repayments of principal as specified in the schedule hereto attached, then upon the revenues of the salt li-kin of the province of Fengtien to the amount of 350,000 Haikuan taels per annum, which revenues are hereby declared to be free from all other loan charges or mortgages.\n\nArt. 8. The proceeds of the loan, after deducting any advances made by the corporation under the provisions of article 6, shall be paid to the credit of the railway administration's construction account at the London office of the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation, these payments to be made in amounts and on dates conforming to the conditions of the loan prospectus. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent. shall be allowed by the bank on the credit balance of this account kept in London; interest on the funds standing to the credit of the account in China will be allowed at the bank's rates for current account or fixed deposits, as the case may be, to be arranged. Requisitions on the loan funds will be drawn in amounts to suit the progress of construction of the extension either by the consulting engineer's certificate of work completed by the contractors or by orders on the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation, London, signed by the managing director of the extension, or, in his absence, by his duly authorised representative, and accompanied by his certificates stating the nature and cost of the work to be paid for.\n\nSuch amounts as may be required for expenditure in China will be transferred by the managing director at his discretion to Tien-tsin or Shanghae, these transfers being effected through the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation, and the transferred funds shall remain on deposit with that bank until required for railway purposes.\n\nArt. 9. The corporation is hereby authorised to issue to subscribers to the loan bonds for the total amount of the loan in pounds sterling for such amounts as may appear desirable to the corporation. The form of the bonds shall be generally the same as those issued under the agreement of the 10th October, 1898. They shall bear the facsimile of the signature of the Viceroy and of his seal of office, in order to dispense with the necessity of his signing them all in person, but the Chinese Minister in London shall, previous to the issue of any bonds, put his seal upon each bond with a facsimile of his signature, as a proof that the issue and sale of the bonds are duly authorised and binding upon the Imperial Chinese Government.\n\nSuch bonds are to be numbered consecutively, and as many bonds as may be needed are to be properly engraved under the supervision of the corporation, and after they are sealed by the Chinese Minister in London, as hereintofore provided, are to be countersigned by the corporation.\n\nAll expenses for the engraving, safe deposit, and sale of the bonds are to be borne by the corporation.\n\nArt. 10. In the event of bonds issued for this loan being lost, stolen, or destroyed, the corporation shall immediately notify the railway administration and the Chinese Minister in London, who shall authorise the corporation to insert an advertisement in the public newspapers notifying that payment of the same has been stopped and to take such other steps as may appear advisable according to the laws and customs of\n\n[2581. a-1]\n\nB 2\n\n198\n\nF", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428318, "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": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 243, "title": "CO129-371 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "Enclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Fulford to Messrs. Forbes and Co.\n\nGentlemen,\n\nTien-tsin, November 13, 1909. I BEG to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 8th instant asking me to endeavour to obtain for you exemption from inland taxation on beans and bean oil brought from Manchuria to Chin Wang Tao for export abroad.\n\nThe question is a complicated one, and you may not be aware of all the circumstances.\n\nThe freedom from such taxation in the case of beans and bean oil exported through Dairen and Newchwang arises from the status of the Japanese Manchurian Railway. The Japanese refuse to allow the Chinese authorities to levy any taxes on goods in conveyance by the railway. Consequently, if the beans can be brought to any railway station on the line without being taxed en route they escape all internal taxation and only pay export duty. From our foreign merchants' point of view this is a happy state of things in the advantages of which our British merchants at Dairen and Newchwang participate. The Chinese Manchurian authorities of course claim that the beans are liable to taxation on their way to a railway station or a treaty mart and will enforce the tax if they can. I may mention that the only tax leviable in such cases is a \"production tax\" or transit duty in lieu thereof.\n\nIf, on the other hand, the beans were to be conveyed by the Chinese railway to Chin Wang Tao, unless they were protected by transit passes, they would have to pay the Manchurian production tax, an Imperial Board of Revenue li-kin or tax of some sort at Kou Pang Tzu (this office is quite independent of Manchurian Government control), and also the Chilli li-kin when they come into this province.\n\nIt is hopeless to attempt to persuade the Chinese Government to waive these latter taxes, because they cannot collect taxes on the Japanese railway,\n\nIt is true that it would be for the benefit of the Chinese railway to do so, but Chinese Government departments are notoriously unsympathetic for each other's welfare, and their consent would, moreover, justify to some extent the Japanese action. The only way to do the business you propose is to take out transit passes for the beans and bean oil to bring them to Chin Wang Tao for export. This should free them of all internal taxation except the transit dues.\n\nFor instance, it should relieve them of the payment of Manchurian production tax. I do not suppose that by any means all of the bean products exported at Newchwang and Dairen escape this production tax. It is a moderate tax of 1 or 11/2 per cent. ad valorem.\n\nIf the export trade at Chin Wang Tao will not stand even the transit duty, I do not see any prospect of better terms.\n\nIf there be any difficulty about taking out transit passes as above described, I am quite prepared to fight the matter for you vigorously.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nH. E. FULFORD.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n-241\n\nRece Recf18 FEB 10 [January 25.]\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[2875]\n\n(No. 7.)\n\nSir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\nSECTION 3.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received January 25.)\n\nPeking, January 6, 1910. IN my despatch No. 564 of the 16th December, 1908, I reported that the British American Tobacco Company desired to consolidate all the various dues leviable upon their cigarettes and manufactured tobacco exported from Mukden to any place in Manchuria, and had suggested that this consolidated duty should be at the rate of a duty and a-half, viz., 6·75 mace per picul.\n\nSince that date the proposal has been the subject of considerable correspondence, the course of which has been as follows :——\n\nThe first suggestion of the company was, from the very outset, not considered practicable, and their Shanghae manager, both in conversation with me and His Majesty's consul-general at Mukden, stated that the interests of the Mukden factory would best be served by an adoption of the procedure obtaining with regard to the factories at Hankow and Shanghae. According to this procedure, which is in the nature of a concession, and was obtained by Sir Ernest Satow in 1904, the export duty levied on the cigarettes manufactured by the company is to be the same as that paid on prepared tobacco, viz., 4 mace 5 candareens per 100 catties; in the event of the goods being shipped to another treaty port the coast trade duty of one-half this amount must be paid, and, if there is a further shipment into the interior, customs dues must be paid at customs stations and li-kin at li-kin barriers.\n\nMr. Willis accordingly applied to the local authorities in December 1908 for an extension of these terms to the factory at Mukden. They replied that they were prepared to arrange for a uniform rate of 5 per cent. ad valorem throughout the three Eastern provinces. This offer was declined by the company, and Mr. Fulford, who was temporarily in charge of the consulate-general, again asked that the procedure should be adopted which exists at Hankow and Shanghae. This second request was referred to the Wai-wu Pu, and his Excellency the Viceroy later informed Mr. Willis that it had his support.\n\nAs no reply, however, was forthcoming from the Central Government, I addressed a memorandum to the Wai-wu Pu on the 12th July last, copy of which I have the honour to enclose, and on the 9th August I received a reply, copy of which is also enclosed, accepting the proposal. Subsequently, however, in their enclosed memorandum of the 9th September last, the Wai-wu Pu went back upon their previous decision, and suggested the 5 per cent. ad valorem duty which had already been refused by the company. The reason for this change of front is no doubt to be sought in the representations made at the time by the new Viceroy, who disagreed with his predecessor's opinion, as reported in Mr. Willis's enclosed despatch No. 31 of the 17th August last. I replied to the Wai-wu Pu on the 15th September that I was unable to agree to a revocation of the arrangement already accepted. At the same time, I informed His Majesty's consul-general that, although I was obliged to maintain this attitude officially, I should welcome any arrangement satisfactory to the parties concerned, and that if, as indicated in a private letter from Mr. Willis to me, the company were now anxious to adopt the proposal of a 5 per cent. duty, he should support them in their endeavour to obtain a settlement on this basis.\n\nFrom Mr. Willis's latest despatch (No. 64 of the 20th December), you will observe that the divergence of policy on the part of the company has been due to a difference of opinion between the managers of their branches at Shanghae and Mukden, but the London office of the company have now apparently decided to adopt the point of view of the Shanghae manager, and press for the procedure obtaining at Shanghae and Hankow.\n\nI shall therefore do all I can to keep the Wai-wu Pu to the engagement recorded in their memorandum of the 9th August.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

Revised regulations for the suppression of opium in all departments, drawn up by the police intendant (\"hsun-ching tao\") and issued, with the imprimatur of the Governor-General, last December. Of this document I beg to submit an abstract.\n\nThe two papers set out with such conciseness (this is more particularly the case with the earlier of them) the procedure to be followed that it is difficult to condense them. The salient points, however, would seem to be as follows:—\n\n(a.) The import of opium into Szechuan is to cease from the 10th April next. (\"Opium\" (\"t'u-yao\") here means extra-provincial raw native opium. Neither the native prepared drug (\"kao\") nor foreign opium has for some years been imported into this province.)\n\n(b) The export of Szechuan opium is to cease from the 7th July next.\n\n(c.) The system of licensed retailers (\"p'i-fa tien\"), described in previous reports as \"wholesale opium stores,\" is to be continued. These establishments are licensed to sell prepared opium, but to smokers with police permits only, and not for consumption on the premises. Their supplies of the drug are derived, as before, from an official (or Government) head opium store (\"kuan-kao tsung-tien\"), one of which is established in each city or town. The latter offices have hitherto depended for their raw material (\"yen-t'u\" or \"tu-yao\") on the head Government \"hong\" (warehouse) for the purchase and sale of crude opium (\"yen-t'u mai-mai tsung-hang\") at Chengtu or its branches. From the 7th July these \"hongs\" will cease to exist. The opium stores will have before that date to lay in a sufficient stock of the raw stuff to last out the time of grace for smokers (now, at the most, seven years) allowed by the edicts of 1906. This stock they will obtain either from the \"hongs\" before the latter are dissolved, or from private holders, who, in their turn, are compelled to get rid of their whole supply before the 7th July, either by selling it to the opium stores or by exporting it from Szechuan.\n\n(d) The registration of smokers is to be strictly enforced. It is recognised that a considerable number of smokers have failed to comply with the law, which laid down that application for permits must be made before the 24th October, 1908, after which date none would be issued. Smokers must now have registered—in towns, at the police stations; and in the country, before the tithing-ward—by the 11th January last. The totals registered will be reported to the police intendant, who will then authorise a supplementary, but positively final, issue of permits.\n\n(e.) Permits to smoke.—The earlier permits will continue to be renewable every three months; but the supplementary permits must be renewed every two months. The fee for issue and for such renewal is 100 cash. Permits will, as before, be of two classes, \"A\" and \"B\"; but while holders of the earlier \"A\" permits were allowed three years in which to break off the habit, holders of the new (supplementary) \"A\" permits will be allowed only one year. Holders of \"B\" permits are allowed three months. The object of the new regulations is stated as an endeavour to eradicate opium smoking in Szechuan before the time set by the edicts (Art. 3; see Blue Book, \"China No. 1 (1908),\" p. 5).\n\nConsequent on the proclamation forbidding the planting of the poppy, all regulations of the provincial opium head warehouse relating to the diminution of areas of cultivation were cancelled last September. Permits that had been issued were called in by the branch warehouses (\"yen-t'u fen-hang\"), and all blank forms were returned to the head office at Chengtu. As we have seen, the head warehouse and its branches are to be abolished by the 7th July. The same date sees the dissolution of the opium li-kin establishment—with a month's time for the settlement of accounts—and the dismissal of brokers (agents) at the godowns and receiving rooms, where raw opium was purchased on behalf of the warehouse from the peasant growers, by the taotai.\n\nOther formal steps taken during the past six months are:-\n\n1. The binding over of all official employés to continue to abstain from smoking, or to abandon the habit within two months. All officials below the rank of prefect, and all educational officers, have to submit to scrutiny twice a year for the opium habit. Two such tests have already been held, and certificates granted, and the third examination is now approaching. (For officials in the capital it takes place at the \"chieh-yen ch'a-yen so,\" or anti-opium inspection department, persons reporting themselves for examination between the 22nd and 27th February.) There are still, however, some 500 officials in the province who have not yet received their certificates for the first examination. The registers at the office of the financial commissioner show that over 200 of these can be accounted for as dismissed, or dead, or in mourning. The remainder are exhorted to undergo examination and obtain their certificates as quickly as possible.\n\nIn pursuance of this procedure (which is in harmony with art. 9 of the Imperial Regulations of 1906), on the 20th August, the \"yen-ch'a tao\" (intendant for gabelle and tea duties) enforced the measure for his staff, for the salt transport office, and for the establishments under his control throughout the province. The Commissioner for Education (\"ti-hsueh ssu\") did the same, on the 10th November, and the Financial Commissioner on the 2nd December. As a deterrent, four petty officials were denounced by Chao chih-t'ai to the throne and were dismissed the service in perpetuity, for \"lack of strength to break off opium\" (\"ch'ih yen pu li\").\n\n2. Hospital accommodation has been extended. The opium refuge opened by the Chamber of Commerce was originally intended only for traders and the mercantile class generally. It has, says the semi-official “Chengtu Daily News\" (\"Ch'engtu Jih-pao\") of the 7th October, proved so successful that its operations are to be extended. Anyone who gets a guarantee from a shop may attend and receive medicines, gratis.\n\nAbout the same time the police intendant opened a training college where doctors, or would-be doctors, can learn the best methods of assisting smokers to break off the habit. Doctors study for a month, paying a fee of 4 dollars; they then receive a diploma which permits them, according to the class obtained in the examinations, to take charge of hospitals in the various towns of the province, or to serve as assistants in such hospitals.\n\nOn the 20th December the police intendant reported that several thousand doctors trained at Chengtu will now be sent to take charge of opium refuges throughout the province. The expenses of these refuges will be met as follows:---\n\n(a) From public charitable funds, which will be devoted to the cost of medicines, salaries of attendants, and maintenance of poor people breaking off the habit. Patients who can afford it will pay for their own meals while in hospital.\n\n(b) Where there are no such public funds, by subscriptions collected from the gentry and merchants.\n\n(c) If both these plans fail, the local official may authorise the doctor to sell his medicines, the cost to the indigent being met out of the profits of such sales.\n\nThe \"Chengtu Daily News\" of the 28th December contains regulations, drawn up by the intendant of police, for the establishment of an opium refuge for gentry and merchants. The regulations as issued consist of fourteen clauses, but at the end are the two characters \"wei wan\" (\"to be concluded\"). No further instalment, however, has appeared up to the present.\n\nThe regulations provide generally for good behaviour and order among the patients. Patients are received in batches of from twenty to thirty, and the cure takes five days. Patients must not bring their own servants with them, and on admission, they must submit their luggage and belongings to inspection lest there should be any of the drug concealed therein. Nothing is said about the cost of treatment, except that if patients develop any extraneous complaint, necessitating the use of expensive medicines costing 50 cash or more, the patients themselves must pay for them.\n\n3. The official price of prepared opium was raised on the 11th December from 540 cash per liang to 950 cash for the lowest quality (\"pa t'u\"). Prices for the other qualities are:\n\n(1.) Yünnan from 900 cash to 1,240 cash.\n\n(2.) Ch'en and piao from 600 cash to 1,060 cash.\n\n4. The loss of revenue is partly made good by the increased charge on salt, previously reported. Other taxes to the same end are:\n\n(a) 200 cash on each pig killed, large or small.\n\n(b) 2 cash per catty on pork.\n\nWriting on the 25th October last, Mr. Ricker, who had just returned from a visit to Tzu Chou (about halfway on the main road from Chungking to Chengtu), says:\n\nPage 56", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428718, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 59, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "4\n\nThe price of opium has advanced to 500-700 cash per ounce, from about 300 cash. Besides the revenue from licences, which is used to defray running expenses of the kuan-kao chi, pork is taxed 1 or 2 cash extra per catty. In Jung-ch'ang an Lung-ch'ang coal is taxed 1 cash per catty. In several places tea shops are taxed 10 cash per table per day. Some places (in fact I should say a-half) do not have any tax added to rice or other eatables, though others are reported to be taxed. I understand that in Nei-chiang, the great sugar district, sugar is further taxed.\n\n\"I do not think that the former tax of 1,000 cash per den per month is fully made up even by these amounts, and it seems that the police system, which depended largely on this revenue, is in a rather weakened condition. I do not know of any tax being put upon the wealthy people or on business houses in general, where the burden should come.\n\nThe poor are greatly burdened, and disproportionately, of course, to the wealthy. I might add that the additional taxes, together with the census taking, have aroused some feeling in the north-east of Lung-ch'ang county, and also west of Tzechow. There are threats to abolish the li-kin office and the church.\"\n\nBefore noting the steps that have been taken to carry into effect the prohibition of poppy culture, a table may be given of the amounts, in \"liang\" (Chinese ounces), of prepared opium issued by the kuan-kao tsung-chü at Chengtu since the last report:\n\nHsuan-t'ung, 1st year-\n\n \n 5th moon\n 12,851\n \n \n 6th moon\n 15,922\n \n \n 7th moon\n 17,381\n \n \n 8th moon\n 18,780\n \n \n 9th moon\n 26,115\n \n \n 10th moon\n 37,907\n \n \n 11th moon\n 15,294\n \n \n 12th moon\n 14,415\n \n\nThe remarkable expansion in the 9th and 10th moons was due first to the triennial examinations for licentiates, next to the session of the deliberative assembly (provincial Parliament), and lastly to the shareholders meeting of the Chuan-Han Railway; three events which temporarily added largely to the population of the city.\n\nThe Enactments in Practice.\n\nMr. Langford Smith, who had been acting here pending my arrival, was good enough to draw up a series of questions which his experience suggested might be put to the missionaries who assisted my predecessors in preparing the fourteen reports that have, from first to last, issued from this consulate-general. I enclose a copy of the consequent circular, and will proceed to give a précis of the replies I have received.\n\nI preface it with a few notes extracted from the local Chinese newspapers by Mr. Toller.\n\nOn the 25th September the Governor-General directed the financial commissioner to select \"wei-yuan (special officers) to see whether opium is being sown.\n\nOn the 18th December other \"wei-yuan\" were sent by his Excellency in all directions.\n\nOn the 27th October poppy having been sown at Shih-pan Tan (some 16 miles north of Chengtu), the Huayang magistrate (one of the two Chengtu magistrates) personally saw it rooted up, and confiscated the land. He also issued a proclamation ordering any other poppy-fields to be cleared within five days, under penalty of confiscation.\n\nOn the 22nd November the same magistrate destroyed a poppy crop at Ta-mien P'u, bringing the culprits into Chengtu for punishment.\n\nOn the 26th November the poppy was found to have been sown at Lung-tang Ssu (some 6 miles north of this), but the headman persuaded the farmers to replace it with another crop.\n\nNovember 28-Opium shops forcibly closed in Chien-wei Hsien (Chiating prefecture). Cultivation prevented at Peng-ch'i Hsien (Tung-ch'uan prefecture).\n\nDecember 22.-Poppy said to be still grown in Ying-shan Hsien, and the drug to be still smoked at the licensed retailers (\"pi-fa tien\"). An opium inspector sent by the Governor-General has seized and destroyed a large quantity of raw opium and opium-pipes at Lung-ch'ang Hsien.\n\nDecember 27-A number of opium dens were discovered at Ping-shan Hsien, Tzu Chou, Tzu-yang Hsien, and Chien Chou; orders have been sent to suppress them.\n\n5\n\nAt Chien Chou the magistrate claims to have abolished altogether the cultivation, sale and consumption of opium. The Chengtu prefect has personally seized some opium-dens.\n\nDecember 28.-The local official at Shuang-liu Hsien has called a meeting of the local gentry, and collected funds for the establishment of an opium refuge in the town. All addicted to the drug are to be compelled to enter the refuge and undergo treatment.\n\nJanuary 3.-Dens are being clandestinely opened in Hochiang; peremptory orders have been sent to close them.\n\nFebruary 23.-The local official at Chien Chou has subscribed 300,000 cash (nearly 300 dollars, or 25l.) of his private money, and purchased with it a quantity of anti-opium medicines for free distribution. Great numbers of people have already broken off the habit.\n\nReports from Missionaries.\n\nUnless a date is mentioned, these reports are to be taken as describing the condition of things in the month of January 1910. Reports from missionaries in the Ch'uan-tung circuit-Eastern Szechuan-will be dealt with by His Majesty's acting consul at Chungking.\n\n1. Interdiction of the Poppy.\n\nNing-yuan, November 6.-Opium is growing freely through the great district of Yen-yuan Hsien, but not planted openly along the main roads of official travel. (This is confirmed by a later report, the 4th January.)\n\nKuang-yuan and Chaohua-Practically none; in both, the officials made personal inspection, and the little that was found was pulled up and the owners were punished.\n\nFushun.-Proclamation posted; no opium grown since 1907, thanks to the energy of the magistrate.\n\nPaoning-In one or two out-of-the-way places planting has been ventured, but the areas were small.\n\nChiating-Opium growing stopped entirely; in one case a farmer tried, but was fined 30,000 cash.\n\nTu Chou-In the districts under notice (Lu Chou, Chiang-an Hsien, Na-ch'i Hsien, Ho-chiang Hsien, Yun-ning Chou, Ku-ling) the order forbidding the sowing of opium has, as far as I can ascertain, been entirely carried out.\n\nTeh-yang, Mien-chu, Shih-fang, Han Chou, Chin-tang.-None planted this year in any of these.\n\nSui Fu.-Strictly carried out.\n\nPa Chou. In some remote places, e.g., Tsen-tzu Pa, in Nankiang Hsien, the poppy is still being secretly grown.\n\nJung Hsien. No opium planted this year.\n\nChung-Chiang Hsien. The order, in so far as I can learn, is being strictly enforced; some few who ventured to disobey were punished and the crop destroyed.\n\nSintu-In Shih-fang Hsien, Chin-tang Hsien, Sintu Hsien, and Hau Chou, I am positively assured that no opium is grown; in fact, the farmers dare not grow it. All informers are rewarded by half the property under opium cultivation, whilst the Government takes the other half. I am assured that this is not only the law, but that the law has been carried out; so that in spite of the great temptation the farmers dare not cultivate.\n\nSOWU.\n\nSan-t'ai Hsien, She-hung Hsien, Yenting Hsien.--Probably none sown.\n\nMien Chou-No opium planted this year.\n\nNgan Hsien.-I see no signs of poppy cultivation anywhere (4th March).\n\n2. Attitude of Farmers.\n\nKuang-yuan and Chaohua-Farmers are making the best of it, and sowing other crop; there are no public manifestations of discontent. Fushun.-No complaints are heard this year. Paoning-Seem quite satisfied.\n\nChiating. Make the best of it without complaint.\n\n[2719 66-3]\n\n-3]\n\nC\n\n57", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428721, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 62, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "aud so on.\n\n10\n\nAutumn sees inspectors go, To eradicate with care, Treading down and scraping off Where the cultivators dare; Landlord, tenant, both will share Penalties the tithings bear.\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\n(Translation.) REGULATIONS drawn up by the Provincial Opium Warehouse (\"yen-t'u mai-mai tsung-hang\") and the Opium Li-kin Office for the abolition of the opium octroi stations and the prevention of the drug crossing the frontier in either direction. (From the \"Chengtu Jih-pao\" of the 19th November, 1909.)\n\nAFTER the first day of the 3rd moon of Hsuan-t'ung II (the 10th April, 1910), the import of opium will be prohibited. A despatch has been sent to the Governors-General and governors of Shensi, Kansu, Yunnan, and Kueichou requesting them to issue instructions to this effect.\n\n2. After the first day of the 6th moon of Hsuan-t'ung II (the 7th July, 1910), no Szechuan opium will be allowed to leave the province.\n\n3. Apart from the Government opium stores (\"kuan kao tien\")—the purchase of prepared opium by which is dealt with in Regulation 4—all other merchants must export their stocks of raw opium, whether local products or imported, before the first day of the 6th moon of Hsuan-t'ung II (the 7th July), reserving no raw opium in stock. Any raw opium found in stock after that date will be dealt with as illicit opium.\n\n4. In buying the raw article the Government opium stores shall purchase sufficient for the needs of the district under their charge. When a sufficient quantity has been purchased a notice shall be exhibited that buying will cease.\n\n5. In places where no Government opium stores have been established, a request shall be made to a branch warehouse (\"yen-t'u fen-hang\"), which will then issue a warrant authorising sale at some specified Government opium store in the neighbourhood. The raw drug must then be transported thither within the set time, and handed over to the branch warehouse of that place for sale to the Government opium store.\n\n6. The head and branch offices of the opium li-kin administration, all opium li-kin stations, and the head and branch Government opium warehouses shall all be abolished on the 1st day of the 6th moon of Hsuan-t'ung II (7th July). After this date, a further period of one month is allowed for the settling up of accounts, and after the expiration of that time, all payments will cease.\n\n7. All brokers employed in warehouses and receiving offices shall be dismissed at the expiration of this period.\n\n8. After the abolition of the li-kin offices and the Government store, preventive offices (\"ch'a chi ssu t'u chi\") will be set up at all important points on the provincial frontier. If merchants are found smuggling opium, and investigation proves it to have been brought from other provinces, in the first ten days (after the 7th July) 10 per cent. of the quantity will be confiscated, and so on proportionately, 10 per cent. for every ten days' delay. The remainder of the drug will be sent back under escort, and not allowed to come into Szechuan for sale. After the expiration of three months from the date of prohibition, the whole will be confiscated.\n\n9. The duty of the preventive offices is confined to the prevention of the drug crossing the frontier in either direction. If opium is illicitly stored, sold, or transported within the province, it is the duty of the local officials to deal with the case, the penalties being fixed and punishments determined by the intendant of police.\n\n10. The opium so confiscated shall be sold at current rates to the Government store of the place. Half the amount so received shall be included in the accounts; the other half will form a prize fund. The expenses of the men employed as escorts under regulation 8 shall come out of this prize fund.\n\nTranslated November 20, 1909.\n\nW. STARK TOLLER.\n\n11\n\nEnclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nRegulations by Police Intendant for the Suppression of Opium Smoking: approved by the Governor-General of Szechuan, December 1909.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nChapter I—Introductory.\n\nALL branch warehouses for the purchase and sale of raw opium (\"mai-mai yen-t'u fen-hang\") will be abolished on the 7th July, 1910. Though cultivation of the poppy is to cease, smoking will continue. Hence the necessity for recasting previous regulations, to the end that opium-smoking may be effectually suppressed.\n\n2. The present regulations will take effect from the 10th February, 1910. Previous regulations for (a) dealing uniformly with officially prepared opium (\"t'ung-hsing ch'ou-pan kuan-kao\"); and (b) the issue of licences (\"fa-chi p'ai-chao\"), except in so far as these are embodied in the present regulations, are hereby rescinded since they are no longer applicable to existing circumstances.\n\nChapter II.—Prepared Opium.\n\n3. The method heretofore of dealing with officially prepared opium (\"kuan-kao\") has been to set up in each city or town one head office (\"tsung tien\"). In the country districts regard was had to population and distance; the larger market towns were allowed two licensed retail shops (\"pi-fa kuan-kao tien\"), medium market towns one such shop; villages none. This system will be continued; but while shops may be closed, no new shops are to be opened. The local authorities will keep a register showing the number of shops, the owners' names, addresses, and capital; a copy of the register will be sent to the intendant.\n\n4. Privately owned supplies of opium must be exported from Szechuan before the 7th July. Each head office must calculate, on the basis of the smokers' list (\"yen-chieh\"), (see chapter 3), the yearly amount to be sold, and, allowing for the annual reduction, must estimate how much of this opium in private hands they ought to buy. Capital for the purpose may either be borrowed from public funds, or raised by shares, or procured as in section 13. The local authorities will convene gentry and traders, and arrange with them, reporting to the intendant.\n\n5. Licensed retail shops shall, as before, get their supplies from the head office, at a discount of 5 per cent. They must sell at the official price.\n\n6. Licensed retail shops can never receive more from the head office than the amount they get in the first moon of the second year of the Hsuan-t'ung (10th February to 10th March, 1910). They must continue to report to the intendant the quantity they have sold each month.\n\n7. Hitherto on each mace of prepared opium sold, an additional charge of 8 cash has been made, one-half of which has gone towards the expenses of establishing opium refuges (\"chiel-yen kung-so\"). From the 10th February, 1910, the head office, whatever be the rate at which it sells to the shops, will, after deducting the charges for wages, boiling, interest, and rent, add on 12 cash per mace. Returns must be sent in before the 5th of the following moon; if not, then for every ten days after such returns are due, one bad mark will be scored against the local official, and for every month three bad marks. The intendant will inform the financial commissioner, and the local official will not be allowed to redeem his marks. One half of the fund so raised will go to the local opium refuge; the other half, towards local police expenses.\n\n8. Shops can only sell officially prepared opium, and may not allow smoking on the premises. If detected in permitting smoking, in selling contraband prepared opium, or in selling without a licence (\"p'ai-chao\"), they will be fined fifty-fold.\n\n(Added by the Governor-General). Establishments other than licensed retail shops selling opium for smoking will be severely punished. If what they sell is officially prepared opium, they will not only be fined fifty-fold, but will be forcibly closed.\n\nChapter III Smokers' List.\n\n9. Persons of all conditions within the police districts of a town and its suburbs will be under the supervision of the police; persons in the country under that of the tithing (\"pao-chia\"). All smokers who have not relinquished the habit, whether...\n\n[2719 bb-3]\n\nE\n\n60", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 428906, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 247, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "8\n\nthe Canton-Hankow railway line,\" being about 1,800 Chinese li, or 900 kilom., and of\n\nA Government railway main line from Ichang, in the province of Hupei, through Ching-men-chou and Hsiangyang, to a point at or near Kuangchui, connecting it with the Peking-Hankow railway line, and a branch line from Ching-men-chou, on the aforesaid main line, through Sha-si to Hanyang, the combined length of these two lines, hereinafter known as \"The Hupei section of the Szechuan-Hankow railway line,\" being about 1,600 Chinese li, or 800 kilom.\n\nThe survey lines shall be open to revision by the director-general of the railways. The Chinese Imperial Government undertakes to call in, after having received from the banks application in writing to do so, the aforesaid gold bonds, and the banks will apply the amount necessary for the said redemption out of the proceeds of the loan, and will deliver the redeemed bonds to the Chinese Government after having made the bonds valueless. The Chinese Imperial Government will, after receipt of the redeemed bonds, cancel the inscription of the pledge of the Canton-Hankow railway line in their archives, and will advise the banks in writing after having done this.\n\nIt is understood that the allotment of the aforesaid total nominal capital of 5,500,000l., will be in the proportion of 2,500,000l. to the Hupei-Hunan section of the Canton-Hankow railway line, and 2,500,000l. to the Hupei section of the Szechuan-Hankow railway line, and that any surplus of the nominal amount of 500,000l. hereby allotted for the redemption of the gold bonds issued by the American China Development Company, aforesaid, which may remain after complete redemption of those bonds, shall be added to the amount allotted to the Hupei-Hunan section of the Canton-Hankow railway line.\n\nArt. 3. After deduction of the amount required for the redemption of the gold bonds referred to in article 2 of this agreement, the balance of the loan proceeds shall be solely devoted to the construction of the aforesaid railway lines, including the purchase of land, rolling stock and other equipment, and to the working of the lines, and to payment of interest on the loan during the period of construction, which is estimated at four years from the actual beginning of the works. The commencement of the works shall not be delayed beyond six months after this agreement has been signed, within which period the banks shall notify the director-general that the sum of 510,000l. has been placed at his disposal, in case funds should be required for survey or construction purposes, or for the ordering of materials, the said sum to be held in Europe or remitted to China as he may direct, as a first instalment on account of the proceeds of the loan. This amount of 510,000l., or whatever portion thereof is actually advanced, together with interest thereon not exceeding a charge of 6 per cent. per annum, shall be deducted from the first proceeds of the sale of the bonds.\n\nArt. 4. The rate of interest for the loan shall be 5 per cent. per annum on the nominal principal, and shall be paid to the bond-holders half-yearly. The said interest shall be calculated from the date on which the loan is issued to the public, and shall be paid by the Imperial Chinese Government during the time of construction either from the proceeds of the loan or from other sources, and afterwards, in the first place, out of the revenues of the railways, and then from such other revenues as the Chinese Government may think fit to use for the purpose, in half-yearly instalments according to the amounts specified in the schedule attached to this agreement, and fourteen days before their due dates, Western calendar, as calculated half-yearly from the date on which the loan is issued to the public.\n\nArt. 5. The term of the loan shall be twenty-five years. Repayment of principal shall commence after the expiry of ten years from the date of the loan, and, except as provided in article 6 hereinafter, shall be made by equal yearly amortisation to the banks in half-yearly instalments out of the revenues of the lines, or such other revenues as the Chinese Government may think fit to use for the purpose, according to the amounts specified in the schedule attached to this agreement, but fourteen days before their due dates, Western calendar, as calculated half-yearly from the date on which the loan is issued to the public.\n\nArt. 6. If at any time after the lapse of ten years from the date of the loan the Imperial Chinese Government should desire to redeem the whole outstanding amount of the loan or any part of it not yet due for repayment in accordance with the schedule of repayments hereto attached, it may do so up to the end of the seventeenth year by payment of a premium of 2½ per cent. on the face value of the bonds, that is\n\n9\n\nto say, by the payment of 102l. 10s. for each 100l. bond, and after the lapse of seventeen years without premium; but in each and every case of such extra redemption the Imperial Chinese Government will give six months' previous notice in writing to the banks, and such redemption shall be effected by additional drawings of bonds to take place on the date of an ordinary drawing as provided for in the prospectus of the loan.\n\nArt. 7. The half-yearly payments due for amortisation and interest referred to in articles 4 and 5 shall be made in accordance with the amounts of the schedule attached to this agreement, and fourteen days before their due dates as fixed by articles 4 and 5, in equal shares to the banks by the director-general of the railways, who shall hand to the banks in Shanghae or in Hankow, fourteen days before the said due dates, funds in Shanghae (Kuei-yuan) sycee or Hankow \"Yang-li\" sycee sufficient to meet such payments in gold in Europe, exchange for which shall be settled with the banks on the same day, the railway administration having, however, the option of settling exchange with the banks simultaneously at any date or dates within six months previous to any due date for the payment of interest and (or) principal. These payments may, however, be made in gold in Europe if the Imperial Chinese Government should happen to have gold funds bona fide at their disposal in Europe, not remitted from China for the purpose, and desire so to use them.\n\nIn reimbursement of expenses connected with the payment of interest and repayment of principal of the loan the banks will receive from the Chinese Government a commission of ¼ per cent. on the annual loan service.\n\nArt. 8. The Imperial Government of China hereby engages that the interest and principal of this loan shall duly be paid in full, and should the revenues of the railways and (or) the proceeds of the loan not be sufficient to provide for the due and full payment of interest and repayment of principal, the director-general shall memorialise the Throne and the Imperial Government of China will thereupon make arrangements to ensure that the amount of deficiency shall be met from other sources and handed over to the banks on the date upon which funds are required to complete full payment of interest and repayment of principal.\n\nArt. 9. The present loan, in respect to both principal and interest, is hereby secured by-\n\n1. Hupei general li-kin amounting to 2,000,000 Haikwan taels a-year.\n\n2. Hupei additional salt tax for river defence amounting to 400,000 Haikwan taels a-year.\n\n3. Hupei new additional 2 cash salt tax of September 1908 amounting to 300,000 Haikwan taels a-year.\n\n4. Hupei collection of Hukuang inter-provincial tax on imported rice to the amount of 250,000 Haikwan taels a-year.\n\n5. Hunan general li-kin amounting to 2,000,000 Haikwan taels a-year.\n\n6. Hunan salt commissioner's treasury regular salt li-kin to the amount of 250,000 Haikwan taels a-year.\n\nThe above provincial revenues are hereby declared to be free from all other loans, charges, or mortgages.\n\nSo long as principal and interest of this loan are regularly paid there shall be no interference with these provincial revenues; but if principal or interest of the loan be in default at due date, then, after a reasonable period of grace, other suitable internal revenues of the provinces of Hupei and Hunan sufficient to provide the amounts above stated shall forthwith be transferred to and administered by the Imperial Maritime Customs in the interests of the bondholders. And so long as this loan, or any part thereof, shall remain unredeemed, it shall have priority, both as regards principal and interest, over all future loans, charges, and mortgages charged on the aforesaid provincial revenues. No loan, charge, or mortgage shall be raised or created which shall take precedence of, or be on an equality with, this loan, or shall in any manner lessen or impair its security over the aforesaid provincial revenues, and any future loan, charge, or mortgage charged on the said provincial revenues shall be made subject to this loan, and it shall be so expressed in every agreement for every such future loan, charge, or mortgage.\n\nAfter redemption of the existing gold bonds referred to in article 2 of this agreement, it is understood and agreed that, so long as this loan is unredeemed, the railways shall under no circumstances be mortgaged nor their receipts given as security to any other party.\n\n[2761 ee---1]\n\nD\n\n245", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429058, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 399, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "2\n\nserious fresh outbreak. How far this will prove to be true it would be hazardous to prognosticate.\n\nThat the Central Government are satisfied with the manner in which Jui Cheng, the Acting Viceroy of Hukuang, and Yang Wen-ting, the Acting Governor of Hunan, have dealt with the situation is proved by an edict issued a few days ago, making their acting appointments substantive. As a rule, substantive appointments to officials doing temporary or acting duty in such high posts are not given until after considerably longer service than in these two cases, and the promptitude with which these appointments have been confirmed is particularly significant, in view of the fact that certain strong elements in Hupei and Hunan had been reported as agitating against these two officials.\n\nI am now fully in accord with the instruction contained in your telegram No. 82 of the 2nd instant, that it would be neither judicious nor proper to include questions quite unconnected with the recent riots in a settlement of the case, but I cannot help sharing the opinion of His Majesty's consul-general at Hankow that there will be no real or permanent security against fresh trouble in Hunan so long as the long-pending questions involving our treaty rights are not definitely settled one way or the other.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW. G. MAX MÜLLER.\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul Hewlett to Mr. Max Müller,\n\n(No. 31.) Sir,\n\nChangsha, June 6, 1910,\n\nTHE three direct causes of the recent outbreak at Changsha, as recorded in my despatch of the 4th May, appear to me to exist at the present moment in an aggravated form.\n\n1. The Shortage of Rice on the Market.\n\nAt present if anyone wishes to buy rice he has to proceed to one of the comparatively few rice shops still doing business, deposit his money (at 8,200 cash a picul), and call for his rice next day.\n\nWith the governor's orders to lower the price of rice the dealers refuse to comply until larger supplies justify this measure. The sums set against the names of generous notables in the long lists of subscribers to the rice funds given in the local papers appear to be like railway subscriptions—merely paper promises.\n\nThe governor takes no steps to verify the common report that Yeh Te-hui has tens of thousands of piculs stored away; and it is left to General Yang to see the matter thoroughly investigated.\n\nA body of rice-seekers were allowed to hold heated discussion outside the Lin-Yang Gate yesterday, despite the supposed state of martial law and prohibition of all assemblies.\n\n2. The Hostility of the Masons and Carpenters.\n\nAlthough the complicity of these men in the riots was reported to the Throne their guild's pretensions remained unchanged, and the local authorities make no attempt to control them, accepting apparently as quite satisfactory the sole exception of His Majesty's consulate from their claim to monopolise work in Hunan.\n\nOn the 4th June the masons and certain of the gentry held a meeting to discuss a general strike as a protest against the punishment of the gentry. I am told that Wong Hsien-chien urged the masons not to strike, as it might cost him his head; but the masons replied that as the gentry had supported them in the past the guilds would uphold them during their present difficulties. The meeting was ultimately adjourned till the 6th or 7th June.\n\n3. The Weakness of the Local Authorities and the Power of the Anti-foreign Political Association.\n\nIn discussing the apportionment of blame in the despatch above referred to, I stated: \"It is a most certain fact that unless an exemplary lesson is brought home to the political association of Hunan the recent riots will but prove the first step to what might develop into a revolution.\" The lesson has not been brought home, and not only have I no reason to modify this assertion, I would repeat it with emphasis.\n\nThe first edicts condemning the four gentry principally implicated were hailed with delight by nine-tenths of the residents of Changsha, and especially by the regular troops. The mild penalties announced in the later edict have rendered the gentry more reckless and dangerous than ever, while irritating the regular troops of Hunan, who have a very fair and just idea of the punishment these men deserve, and whose one longing is that the Central Government should be resolute and prompt in dealing with the guilty gentry.\n\nThe provincial assembly has already demanded that all matters affecting the settlement of the riots should be referred to them. Further, they have asked the governor why the indemnity has not been paid at once and the case closed. A special session has been called for this month; in fact, there is every indication that the fight over treaty questions is to be renewed with keener vigour than ever, and the situation, if not firmly handled, can only end in complications of a most serious kind.\n\nThere are other causes in addition to the three mentioned, which lead me to think that the situation here is serious.\n\nRecently the township of Ch'uan-chiao-ho, 30 miles from Iyang, was destroyed by a gang of rioters, who were more or less armed. This involved the destruction of an out-station under the Norwegian Missionary Society. The destruction was followed by the burning of thirty homesteads. Soldiers appeared on the scene, and the rioters dispersed. Their next appearance was at Hua-Shih, 20 miles south of Hsiang-T'an, where they destroyed a chapel belonging to the American United Evangelical Church Mission. Here again the troops appeared, late, though three men implicated were caught.\n\nThis gang consists at present of thirty-four men. They wear yellow scarves on their heads, and are in uniform; they also have flags bearing the inscription, as in the Boxer days, \"Support the dynasty and exterminate the foreigner.\" Now an interesting fact to note is that, with about 13,000 men in the provincial troops, 6,000 in the regular troops, and 3,000 in the river guard boats, up to the present no force has been detached to exterminate this band, whose audacity is increasing. They call themselves \"Men of the superhuman striking art,\" and bound themselves as a band at Hsiang-T'an, where as at Iyang their adherents are known to be numerous.\n\nIt is true that the local authorities profess themselves masters of the situation; but up to the actual outbreak of trouble nothing could have been more satisfactory than the assurances of the then governor and Customs taotai, in face of which I felt it useless to set my own apprehension in applying for one of His Majesty's ships to the naval authorities.\n\nThe present absence of any effective precaution on the part of the provincial authorities against renewed trouble compels me to state deliberately that His Majesty's ship \"Nightingale\" is not sufficiently imposing to convince the hostile element in Changsha and in Hunan generally of the importance attached by His Majesty's Government to safeguarding British lives and property in this province. I am fully aware of the many and complex duties of His Majesty's squadron in these waters, and I trust that the above declaration of my honest conviction, which my sense of duty forces me to record, will not be misconstrued.\n\nI will close this despatch with the last curious phase in an exceedingly difficult situation. This is the unmistakable friction between General Yang and the governor.\n\nGeneral Yang during the last week paid me one open and two secret visits, and gave me his secret views, assuring me, I believe quite truly, that he speaks to me freely because of our exceptional friendship and his knowledge that all foreigners in Hunan rely on me for advice and protection.\n\nGeneral Yang states emphatically, and his opinion is endorsed by many others, that Governor Yang is utterly incapable of facing the present situation. He asserts that but for the vigour displayed by the Viceroy of Wuchang, trouble would at once break out in Changsha. He speaks in the highest terms of the justice shown by the Viceroy in apportioning blame, and says that the governor would never have taken such steps on his own responsibility.\n\nHe begged me most earnestly not to believe the official assurances that order was completely restored, and that there was no danger of further troubles. He pointed", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429158, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 499, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "4\n\nThe consul begs that the matter may be promptly attended to, or he will have no alternative but to appeal to the governor to deal with the question in strict accordance with our treaty rights.\n\n(Précis translation.)\n\nMay 3, 1910.\n\nEnclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nSang Taotai to Acting Consul Barr.\n\n[Quotes consul's letter in full.]\n\nLICENCES should of course be issued impartially to all shops alike, whether inside or outside the city.\n\nAccording to reports from the Ningpo and other magistrates, no shops have yet taken out licences. A further report has been called for, and upon its receipt a date will be arranged for the proposed interview with Messrs. Sassoon's agent.\n\nEnclosure 8 in No. 1.\n\nActing Taotai Têng to Acting Consul Barr.\n\n(Précis translation.)\n\nJune 3, 1910. THE magistrate's report called for by Sang Taotai has now been received. It is to the following effect:--\n\nThe local Opium Prohibition Bureau reports that, under No. 1 of the regulations governing the issue of opium-trading licences, no new shops may henceforth be opened, nor may shops for other wares deal in opium in addition thereto, under pain of punishment. It appears that in the Ningpo district there have never been shops dealing exclusively in opium, but the drug has been sold by silver, medicine, and miscellaneous shops (all being retail and none wholesale dealers), which was in contravention of the Hangchow regulations. On receipt of these regulations on the 20th March, the bureau closed all such shops in its district. After their being thus closed for over two months, it is not practically possible to allow them to reopen. Statements as to consequent loss of trade are incorrect; the number of consumers is unalterably fixed by the number of licences issued, viz., 5,599 in all; so the consumption of the drug is not in any way affected as stated, either in the Ningpo district or elsewhere; so that it is merely stretching a point to complain that trade is in any way interfered with. The magistrate considers that the bureau has acted in accordance with the regulations, which are very severe, and of which any relaxation would be a political error. The deputing by Messrs. Sassoon of an agent to confer with the Ningpo Bureau, whose actions are determined by the Hangchow regulations, is irregular, since that agent should approach, if anyone, the central bureau itself.\n\nThe taotai is of opinion that the bureau has, in fact, acted in full accordance with the regulations referred to, and that Messrs. Sassoon's trade can be considered in no way affected by the compelling of all the consumers to buy their opium in Ningpo, since there have never been shops outside the city dealing exclusively in opium. Since Messrs. Sassoon's agent can gain nothing by now remaining here any longer, it would be better for him to return to Shanghai.\n\n5\n\nSassoon that their protest is directed against an order of the bureau closing all opium shops outside Ningpo, thus practically extinguishing the retail trade in the country districts, the result being that the large hongs in Ningpo, who buy wholesale from the opium importers, cannot dispose of their purchases, and therefore refuse to take delivery of them from Messrs. Sassoon.\n\nIt does not appear from the correspondence how far the hongs are bound under any contract to purchase a certain amount of opium from Messrs. Sassoon, but anyhow that point is not raised, and what Messrs. Sassoon really want us to do is to interfere with the discretion of the Chinese authorities to regulate or prohibit the retail sale of opium in the interior.\n\nIn previous cases of a somewhat similar character His Majesty's Government have not questioned the right of the Chinese Government to regulate as they think fit the licensing of retail shops for the sale of foreign opium, or to restrict or prohibit the consumption of opium among the population. They have, moreover, laid down that it would be difficult to maintain that opium regulations have been improperly applied merely because restrictions placed on the retail business of the dealers may indirectly affect the wholesale trade.\n\nIn requesting the taotai that \"the bureau be ordered to grant licences in accordance with the regulations to shops both inside and outside Ningpo,\" you appear unintentionally to have acted contrary to the views of His Majesty's Government as stated above.\n\nI do not think that exception can properly be taken to No. 1 of the licensing regulations enclosed in your despatch No. 1 of the 12th January, nor should I feel justified in acceding to what amounts to a request for official interference in the control of native retail dealers, or in urging the Chinese authorities to issue licences to traders who do not possess the qualifications required.\n\nUntil you are furnished with other instructions you should confine your action to the protection of the wholesale trade in foreign opium from any infringement of the rights secured under the additional article to the Chefoo Convention, such as the imposition of any additional taxation in a treaty port, or differential treatment in favour of the native drug.\n\nEnclosure 10 in No. 1.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nW. G. Max Müller.\n\nActing Consul Barr to Mr. Max Müller.\n\n(No. 1.) Sir,\n\nNingpo, January 12, 1910. WITH reference to my telegram of yesterday, I have the honour to transmit herewith the regulations respecting the new tax on opium at Hangchow, and copies of the telegrams which have passed between the governor and myself with respect thereto, with translations of each.\n\nI regret that it is not possible for me to complete in time for to-day's post a copy of my further despatch to the governor which I mention in my telegram, and which is only now being sent off\n\nI have, &c.\n\nL.

I HAVE received your despatch No. 8 of the 15th instant, reporting that Messrs. Sassoon had lodged a protest with you against certain measures taken by the local Opium Prohibition Bureau, whereby they alleged their trade in the district was seriously affected.\n\nI gather from your despatch and from the letters addressed to you by Messrs. Sassoon that their protest is directed against an order of the bureau closing all opium shops outside Ningpo...\n\n(Translation.)\n\n(Telegraphic.)\n\nActing Consul Barr to Governor Tsêng.\n\nNingpo, January 8, 1910.

Okura and Co.:\n\n1. After this contract has received the assent of the Chinese Government, the coal-mine at Pen Hsi Hu will be worked jointly by Chinese and Japanese merchants, under the name of the Pen Hsi Hu Merchant Coal Mining Company (Limited).\n\nHereafter in this agreement the Pen Hsi Hu Merchant Coal Mining Company (Limited) will be styled \"the company,\" and the manager of Messrs. Okura and Co., \"Okura and Co.\"\n\n2. The Chinese Government grants the concession for the working of this mine on condition that the Government shall receive interest-bearing bonds in the share capital of the mine to the value of 350,000 Pei-yang large dollars.\n\nScrip to this value must be handed over to the Chinese Government on the day on which this contract is confirmed by the said Government.\n\n3. The capital of the Pen Hsi Hu Mining Company is limited to 2,000,000 Pei-yang large dollars, one-half to be subscribed by Chinese and Japanese merchants respectively. The original interest of the Chinese Government being fixed at 350,000 dollars, a further sum of 650,000 dollars is to be contributed by Chinese. For the remaining 1,000,000 dollars Messrs. Okura and Co. are responsible.\n\nInterest on the stock held by the Chinese Government shall be reckoned from the date of the opening of the mine; on the subscribed capital from the date of handing over the money.\n\n4. After the commencement of the working of the mine, the annual profits shall be dealt with in accordance with the following rules:\n\n(a) Interest on the share capital of 2,000,000 dollars shall be paid at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum in one instalment. If the profits of the company are not sufficient to enable them to pay 8 per cent., interest may be paid at a smaller rate.\n\n(b) After payment of 8 per cent. on the share capital of the company, the surplus profits must be divided into ten portions. One portion shall be placed to a reserve fund, two and a-half portions shall be paid to the Chinese Government as a voluntary contribution from the company to the Government, and the remaining 6.5 portions of the surplus profits shall be divided pro rata between the Chinese and Japanese shareholders. Should hereafter the shareholders consider the conditions of the company perfectly satisfactory, payments to the reserve fund may be dispensed with; but no interest is to be paid on the reserve fund.\n\n5. Two general managers shall be appointed-one Chinese, one Japanese. The other officials of the company shall be appointed by the two general managers in consultation, the number of Chinese and Japanese appointments being as far as possible in equal numbers.\n\nNo work is to be done in the mine nor are any payments to be made unless with the approval of the two managers under seal.\n\nIt is further necessary to report to the superintendent (the Commissioner of the Foreign Bureau at Mukden) from time to time. All accounts and vouchers must, for the convenience of the general managers, be rendered both in Chinese and Japanese, and properly qualified Chinese and Japanese accountants must be employed.\n\nAll affairs of the company must be managed by the two general managers, but if a deputy is appointed with powers to sign for the company, his appointment must be signed by both general managers.\n\nThe making up of the accounts of the company and the periodical payments of interest will be in accordance with the Chinese calendar.\n\n6. The company will commence from the date on which the Chinese Government notifies its consent to the joint working.\n\n7. In the event of the company requiring additional capital or wishing to raise money or debentures, the proposals must first be submitted to the shareholders, who will contribute the amount required in equal proportions; but no money is to be borrowed except from China or Japan.\n\nNone of the property of the company is to be mortgaged except for necessary loans (raised under conditions expressed in the preceding paragraph), nor are the shareholders allowed to dispose of their scrip at their pleasure.\n\nIt is of the greatest importance that Chinese labour should be engaged for the mine.\n\n3\n\n8. The duration of this contract will be for thirty years, commencing from the date on which the Chinese Government signifies its approval.\n\nOn the date of expiration of the contract, the company will at once dissolve, and the Chinese Government will hand over their share certificates to the company and receive back the mine.\n\nAll movable property such as rails, supporting timbers, buildings, &c., must as soon as possible be valued and sold. The sum so obtained, together with the reserve fund, will be distributed equally between the Chinese and Japanese shareholders, and this contract will be cancelled. All the share certificates issued by the company will be cancelled on the date of expiration of the contract.\n\nBut if after the expiration of the contract the Chinese and Japanese shareholders are unanimous in wishing to continue the company, the question of extension may be considered.\n\nHowever, should the Chinese Government at any time after the expiration of the contract itself wish to work the mine, after having taken over from the company all movables, rails, supporting timbers, buildings, &c., at a fair valuation, the company will then immediately dissolve.\n\n9. The company will pay taxes as follows: on each English ton put out from the mine 6 Kuping taels (6 candareens) as li-kin, and in addition 10 Kuping taels (1 mace) as duty. For each \"mou\" of Government land occupied, an annual land tax of 20 Kuping taels (2 mace). If coal is exported from a port, it will also pay the customs duty of 1 mace per ton.\n\nShould hereafter the Chinese Government in any province consent to a joint Chinese and foreign enterprise for working coal mines in which lighter taxation is agreed to, then the company may submit a request for similar privileges.\n\nIf, after the publication of new mining regulations by the Board of Agriculture and Commerce, it is found that there are points in this contract that must be changed, this will be arranged after the company has been duly notified of such regulations by the Viceroy of the three eastern provinces.\n\n10. Materials required by the company will pay duty according to the customs tariff only and will be exempt from li-kin.\n\n11. From the 31st year of Kuang-hsu (1905) up to the end of the intercalary 2nd moon of the 1st year of Hsuan Tung (April 1909), the Pen Hsi Hu coal mining as worked solely by Messrs. Okura and Co., the total sum expended by them in developing the mine amounting to 1,000,000 Pei-yang dollars is recognised by the Chinese Government and will form the portion of capital contributed by Messrs. Okura and Co. to the joint company. All the machinery, buildings, works, godowns, &c., will, on the day on which this agreement receives the consent of the Chinese Government, be carefully checked and handed by Messrs. Okura and Co. to the company, who will then issue share certificates to the value of 1,000,000 dollars to Messrs. Okura and Co. The Chinese Government expressly agrees that the capital furnished by Messrs. Okura in developing the mine within the dates above mentioned is to form part of the capital of the company.\n\n19\n\nThe amounts received for coal sold by the company during the above period must be checked by an official deputed by the Chinese Government in conjunction with Messrs. Okura and Co., and the whole sum must be handed to the company.\n\nFrom the commencement of the 3rd moon of the 1st year of Hsuan Tung (May 1909) up to the date of the commencement of working by the new company, all additions to the machinery and other works undertaken by Messrs. Okura and Co. will, if they are found on examination to have been necessary, be taken over by the company at a valuation.\n\nSum received for coal during this period by Messrs. Okura and Co. will, after joint investigation by Messrs. Okura and Co. and the company, be handed over to the company. All stocks of coal at present in hand will also be handed to the company without payment.\n\n12. After this contract has received the approval of the Chinese Government, an officer will be deputed by the Viceroy to measure off the area of the mine and to delimit the boundaries. If, in the course of working the mine, antique curios are found, these will become the property of the Chinese Government.\n\n13. Private property within the mining area must be leased at a fair rental. Should it be necessary to remove dwelling-houses or graves, the local authorities, at the request of the company, will instruct the owner as required, but the company must pay fair compensation for such removals.\n\n14.

At Shanghai the rise of springs is neap about 9 feet, and at neap 6 ft. 6 in. above low-water ordinary spring tides the range of the neap tides being 4 feet. It would appear from levellings and observations recently made for M. de Rijke that low-water ordinary spring tide at Shanghai is 1 foot higher than low-water ordinary spring tide at Woosung.\n\nDatum.\n\n13. It will be noticed that we have referred the tidal particulars given above to low water of ordinary springs, this being the datum which has been adopted by the We should, Whangpoo Conservancy, and is the result of many years of observation. however, point out that there also exists the \"Customs datum,\" which is adopted by the harbour-master, and is used in signalling to vessels the depth of water which is available. This last-named datum is the lowest recorded low-water level, and is 2 feet below the \"Conservancy datum\" just referred to. It is desirable that the harbour officials and the Conservancy Board should endeavour to agree upon a common datum, the existence of two zeros being liable to give rise to confusion.\n\nCharacter of Bed of River.\n\n14. The Whangpoo runs throughout its length, across a flat alluvial country, of which extensive areas are liable to flooding, especially at high tides, for notwithstanding that dykes or bunds have been constructed over considerable lengths, they have not been maintained in proper and efficient state of repair. The bed of the river is in places of soft and, from the point of view of engineering works, a treacherous character, especially in the neighbourhood of Gough Island. The right bank through Ship Channel, previous to the construction of the new works, had been subject to very rapid erosion, a comparison of old charts showing that between 1877 and the date of the commencement of the works the channel has shifted to the eastward to an extent fully equal to its width.\n\n15. The Whangpoo is, naturally, a clear-running river. The Yang-tsze, on the other hand, is heavily charged with silt, especially during the floods in the summer months, when it is reported to rise normally 45 feet above its low-water level at Hankow and about 2 feet at Woosung. Its waters carry into the Whangpoo, on a rising tide, large quantities of matter in suspension, which are deposited during slack water, thus forming banks and shoals in the bed of the river. It therefore happens that the Whangpoo, although rising to a higher level, is not in so good a condition for navigation at this season of the year, as it is after the Yang-tsze floods are over.\n\nPort of Shanghai.\n\n16. The port of Shanghai is situated on the left bank of the river, about 14 miles above Woosung. On arrival there almost all vessels are berthed at a wharf, but some lie in the stream, made fast to buoys, and swing with the tide. In a few cases they moor head and stern and do not swing. The cargo from steamers lying in the stream is loaded into native boats, by which it is either conveyed up the creeks, or landed at one of the numerous pontoon piers or wharves, and thence taken to the merchants' godowns.\n\n17. The river is crowded with all kinds of native craft, running from large five-masted ocean-going junks down to sampans. We gathered from the witnesses, whom we examined, that vessels drawing upwards of, say 24 or 25 feet, and some of the mail-steamers, do not as a rule come up the river to Shanghai, but remain at anchor at Woosung, either in the Whangpoo abreast the fort railway station, or in the Yang-tsze off the end of the jetty. Other vessels, of heavy draught, not infrequently lighten at Woosung before going up the river to Shanghai.\n\nApproaches to Whangpoo River.\n\n18. It is important here to explain the general practice observed in the navigation of vessels proceeding to and from Shanghai. There exist in the Yang-tsze River, about 25 miles below Woosung, patches of shoal water named the Fairy Flats, on which, as shown on the Admiralty charts, the depth is from 2 to 3 fathoms, but, according to the local pilots, a minimum depth of about 18 feet at low-water ordinary spring tides may usually be found there.\n\n7\n\n19. Captain Gregor and Captain Evans (before referred to) informed us that it is the usual practice for vessels approaching Shanghai to leave the fair-way bell-buoy, off the Yang-tsze Cape, and 20 miles south-east of the Fairy Flats, at one hour after low water, and thence to proceed up the river. Fairy Flats are passed at about one-third flood, the vessel carrying the tide with her past Woosung—which is reached at about high water—and then up the river to Shanghai, where she arrives about an hour after high water, using the last of the flood current to swing head downstream prior to coming alongside a wharf. When outward bound from Shanghai the time for departure is not quite so important, as vessels are almost always then of lighter draught; but the practice is to leave a little before high water, so as to pass through the Astræa Channel about the top of the tide.\n\nNavigable Depth required.\n\n20. The improvement works in progress under the direction of M. de Rijke, for the Whangpoo Conservancy, are designed to give a minimum depth of 15 feet at low-water ordinary spring tides in the new or Astræa Channel. We have already mentioned, in paragraph 12, that at Woosung neap tides rise 8 feet above low-water ordinary spring tides thus giving an available depth at high-water neap tides of 25 feet, which may be taken as limiting the draught of vessels which could reach Shanghai during such tides to, say about 24 feet. From the foregoing it will be seen that the depth provided by the improvement works, about corresponds with that which is available over the Fairy Flats.\n\n21. It would thus appear, for the reasons given, that if a minimum depth of 18 feet at low-water ordinary spring tides is provided and maintained throughout the Whangpoo River to Shanghai, such depth would be sufficient to pass any vessel which could come up the Yang-tsze to Woosung. A vessel, however, of unusually heavy draught, which could not pass over Fairy Flats until a later period of the flood tide than above described would have either to anchor at Woosung and lighten, or wait there during a tide, in order to pass through the Astræa Channel during the following high water.\n\nII. THE CONSTITUTION OF THE WHANGPOO CONSERVANCY.\n\n22. For many years the deteriorating condition of the Whangpoo has been a menace to the existence of Shanghai as a sea-port, consequently efforts have been made by the Chamber of Commerce to obtain the appointment of a board charged with the improvement and proper conservation of the river. In putting forward these efforts the chamber were strongly supported by the consular body at Shanghai, as well as by the foreign Ministers at Peking; but it was not until almost thirty years had elapsed that definite provision was made for the above purpose in the peace protocol following the Boxer rising of 1900,\n\nOriginal Conservancy Board.\n\n23. At that date a Conservancy Board was appointed which comprised representatives of China and of all the foreign Powers interested in Shanghai. It was agreed that the necessary works should be carried out, and that half the cost should be defrayed by the Chinese Government and half by the foreign nationalities.\n\nModified Conservancy Board.\n\n24. This board, however, never actually met. Difficulties due to the number of its members and the complicated nature of its constitution proved to be so great that it was unanimously agreed by the Chinese Government and the foreign Powers that China should herself undertake the works, subject to the provision that, if they were not carried out satisfactorily, the Powers might revert to the original board, for which stipulation was made in the protocol.\n\n25. Thus, in 1905, a convention was signed under which, instead of the board provided by the peace protocol, a Conservancy Board was created consisting only of the taotai of the native city and the local commissioner of customs, China agreeing at the same time to pay the entire cost of the works, and to forthwith provide 9,200,000 Haikwan taels in twenty annual instalments of 460,000 each. Provision was likewise made that in the event of the money being required at an earlier period,\n\n397", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429674, "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": 411, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "2\n\nto be handled by a bank, e.g., the bank of the Board of Communications at Shanghai, who would be responsible for buying up the shares and transmitting them to the Board of Communications. Mr. Mayers tells me that he informed Mr. Liang that in any case the operation should be concluded this year, and that he suggested that, as an inducement to the corporation to consider the question seriously, they should be promised the financing of the Kaifeng-Haichow line in which the Kiangsu Company is a participant.\n\nMr. Mayers came to see me the day after his interview with Liang Shih-yi, and we agreed to give him time to formulate replies to the questions raised by Mr. Mayers, so as to enable us to see whether his proposals were meant seriously before I again approached the Wai-wu Pu on the subject.\n\nI allowed three weeks to elapse, and then I had an interview with the Grand Secretary Na-t'ung and his Excellency Hu Wei-te on the 1st instant.\n\nI reviewed the history of the negotiations since the interview which Sir John Jordan had with Prince Ch'ing on the 20th July, 1909, at which his Highness gave Sir John Jordan his personal assurance that a satisfactory solution would be arranged with as little delay as possible. I said that nothing had come of the negotiations which had been proceeding between his Excellency Liang Shih-yi and Mr. Mayers, and that from conversations I myself had had with the Director-General of Railways I did not consider his proposals practical or acceptable. I had been unable to obtain even so much as a reply to the various notes I had addressed to the Wai-wu Pu on this subject, and I referred specially to the request contained in my note of the 14th June, that \"the Wai-wu Pu should memorialise the Throne to issue a decree instructing the Yuchuanpu to resume control of the Shanghai-Ningpo Railway, and proceed with the construction of the line in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.\" I had been pleased to learn towards the end of July that the Grand Secretary was concerning himself with this question, and had hopes of arriving at a satisfactory solution, and the dismissal of Tang Shou-ch'ien, who had successfully defied the Central Government last autumn, had appeared to me to augur well, but now over a month had passed and nothing further had happened, beyond the fact that his Excellency Liang Shih-yi had submitted to me some vague and unacceptable proposals. I must therefore again bring the matter to their Excellencies' notice, and request that steps be taken to carry out the repeated promises of the Wai-wu Pu to remedy a state of affairs which admittedly constituted an unjustifiable infraction of a covenant entered into by the Wai-wu Pu and the Yuchuanpu. The only way to secure this end was the resumption of the control of the line in the manner I had already indicated.\n\nThe Grand Secretary fully acknowledged the unsatisfactory state of affairs in connection with this railway, and the forbearance shown by the corporation and His Majesty's Legation in the matter, and took some credit to himself for the dismissal of Tang Shou-chien, to whom, he said, no successor had been appointed. He promised that the board would do their best to find a solution of the many difficulties, even if it were not possible to adopt my suggestion in regard to the issue of an Imperial decree. He laid stress on the fact that Tang Shao-yi would soon be arriving in Peking, and he promised that he would personally take the matter up with Tang at an early date.\n\nAs it is reported on all sides that Tang Shao-yi is arriving in Peking with the fixed intention of contracting no further foreign loans for the construction of railways in China for some years, until, in fact, some of the earlier railway loans are paid off, I do not myself pin much faith to his assistance in recovering the control of this railway from the two provincial companies and constructing it with foreign money, but Mr. Mayers agrees with me that we must wait and see whether he is willing or able to assist us.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

A number of murder cases await trial and discussion, but the lists of ordinary claims are smaller than usual owing to the efficiency and activity of the frontier deputy Chao, who has done excellent work during the summer months. Apart from the Tengkeng-Hpimaw affair, there have been no serious frontier raids.\n\nTampering with Frontier Pillars.--It will be remembered that the Chinese have constantly pressed for the removal of certain of our frontier pillars, alleging that they are wrongly placed and that the frontier should run farther west. They have been informed that His Majesty's Government is unable to enter into any discussion of this question so long after the delimitation of the frontier and the erection of the pillars.\n\nEarly in the autumn, the taotai sent a party to the northern frontier with instructions to destroy pillar No. 38, situated near the extreme north of the delimited boundary, at the top of the Shingaw Valley and immediately south of Manang Pum. The deputies entrusted with the task begged the taotai to put his instructions in writing, doubtless remembering the fate of Mr. Peng, the Yungchang prefect, who was dismissed from office for undue zeal in destroying the pillar in Lungchuan. The taotai refused to record his responsibilities in this way, however, and sent the deputies on their business. The Government of Burmah has since received a report that the pillar was defaced by the party. When the deputies returned to Tengyueh, they presented separate reports; one said that the frontier was wrongly demarcated, that he had been anxious to destroy the pillar in accordance with instructions, but that his colleague had resisted such extreme measures. The taotai was greatly enraged and immediately dismissed the protesting deputy from office. The unfortunate man tells me that they did not actually deface the pillar, and that they merely took a rubbing of the inscription. I am unable, however, to vouch for the accuracy of his statement.\n\nI fear that the Government of Burmah had some misgivings in regard to my attitude towards the destruction of the Lungchuan pillar in the spring, believing that I took too serious a view of a trifling incident. I adhere, however, to my original opinion that it is not safe to allow the least latitude to the Chinese in such a question, and I am convinced that we should have had serious trouble in regard to a number of the pillars during the past year if Mr. Peng's action had been allowed to pass without a serious protest. The subordinate officers on the Chinese side of the frontier unfortunately know that they are sure of support from the higher authorities in any act of aggression which does not bring down a prompt and vigorous rebuff from their Burmah neighbour, and I submit that the greatest watchfulness will be required along the frontier in the near future if we desire to avoid serious trouble and annoyance in connection with the already delimited sections.\n\nUndelimited Frontier.--The imprisonment of my former interpreter has so frightened the people that my sources of information in the direction of the undelimited frontier have now failed. I have certain information, however, that the Chinese propose to continue their administrative work during the coming open season, unless they are forestalled from the direction of Burmah. The officers who were concerned in the expeditions during last spring have all received promotion. The taotai proposed to visit Tengkeng in person this autumn, but his impulsive activity has received several shocks during the last few months, and it is now believed that he will abandon the project of a personal visit to the disputed area.\n\nBurmah Frontier Forts.--I have been obliged to call the attention of the taotai to the fact that the Burmah military posts at Kut-kai, Pankham, Lweje, Laokham, Warapum, Nampang, Alawbum, Šima, Sadon, and Loingu in no way infringe our treaty obligations, and that their erection was provided for by the Burmah Convention of 1894 (article 7) and by clause 2 of the Manni Agreement of 1902.\n\n## Commercial\n\nBhamo-Tengyueh Road.--The most important factor in the commercial situation has been the successful work on the trade-route, which has enabled traffic to proceed during the whole of the summer season in spite of a record rainfall. It will be remembered that for many years our trans-frontier trade has followed a natural mule-track, which becomes so bad in the rains that there is a constant loss of life both to men and animals. A road was made for a third of the distance between Tengyueh and the frontier during the last open season, and a gang of maintenance men has been employed throughout the summer. The reserve fund of the road committee, however, is exhausted, and our income derived from the mule tax is insufficient to carry on the work. I am exceedingly anxious to push forward the road construction during the coming season, in the hope of bringing the road right up to Tengyueh, even if it be but roughly constructed. Mr. Carey, the present commissioner of customs, has given me loyal support in this matter in dealing with our Chinese colleagues, and I feel that the best interests of our trans-frontier trade will be served by laying the foundations of a road whilst conditions are thus favourable. We have approached the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank with a proposal for a loan of about 2,000l., to be guaranteed by the mule tax, but the taotai and the ting do not at all like the idea of a loan and the responsibility attaching to it. I have suggested the abolition of the \"pao shang ying,\" or trade protection levy, which has swallowed up 9,000 taels a-year for the past eight years without any corresponding advantage. I still await the sanction of the Government of Burmah before pressing this unwelcome proposal on the taotai and sub-prefect--who divide most of the funds in their private interest--and I trust that they will support my efforts to ensure the completion of the work on the trade-route. The mule tax now amounts to nearly 50 per cent. of the total customs collection here, and I feel that the time has come to stop the present leakages, to get a road through as soon as possible, and then to remove or to substantially reduce this tax, which is an undue burden on the trans-frontier trade.\n\nImports.--It is interesting to notice that the first three-quarters of the year show an entry of 20,492 piculs of cotton yarn--our main import--as compared with 16,199 piculs during the same period of 1909. The merchants showed much anxiety at the beginning of the year lest this trade should be deflected from the Tengyueh route by the Tonquin-Yunnan-fu Railway. The fact remains, however, that they can still import at a profit, and can actually lay down yarn as far as Yunnan-fu itself at prices which will compete with railway-borne yarn. I can scarcely think that the French railway authorities will allow such an anomaly to continue for long, and it seems only reasonable to suppose that they will eventually lower their rates sufficiently to make the mule rates for thirty-two days' transport from Bhamo to Yunnan-fu prohibitive. In the meanwhile, however, the Tengyueh route holds its own, and, as population is greatly on the increase in Western Yünnan, there seems every prospect that the projected railway from Bhamo will have no difficulty in paying its way.\n\nDrawback Privileges.--Most of the imports into Yunnan coming by the Burmah route are taxed by the customs at Rangoon, but are granted drawbacks of seven-eighths of their import duty when they leave for China. Since the enforcement of the new Indian tariff, however, cigarettes have been withdrawn from the privileged list, with the result that this flourishing trade has dropped entirely from the Burmah route and the markets of Western Yunnan are supplied entirely from Tonquin. American kerosene also obtains no drawback; the import figures for this article show a return of 22,080 gallons as compared with 13,000 for 1909, and there is no doubt that there would be a great opening for this article if the same favourable treatment were accorded by Burmah as by Tonquin. I have represented these facts to the Government of Burmah, and I trust that the Indian Government will see its way to removing present disabilities, as it is of importance that the carrying trade on the Burmah-Yunnan trade-route should receive every encouragement in view of the new competition from the Tonquin railway, and the possibility of a railway from Burmah in the future.\n\nExports: Silk.--A great stimulus has been given to the export trade by the demand for Szechuan silk in Europe. Merchants find that it pays them to send \"huang ssu\" (raw yellow silk), and \"kai-chuang ssu\" (silk specially reeled for the European market), from Szechuan by the Tengyueh route rather than by the Yang-tsze and Shanghai, not entirely because the freights are lower, but because any export cargo assists their exchange business if their produce can be laid down in Rangoon without actual loss. This is an important factor.\n\nTransport Passes.--We find also that it costs 40 taels a picul to cover the li-kin and other native taxes between the producing centres in Szechuan, whereas a transit pass will cover the same amount for the same distance for 2.10 taels. The commissioner of customs therefore issued the first native transit pass ever granted in Tengyueh during last month. The taotai offered the most vigorous resistance, and even tried to find an excuse for imprisoning the bold merchant who thus endeavoured to avoid his duties to the local authorities. The taotai claimed that transit passes were privileges not open to native merchants, but the commissioner pointed out the error of this view.\n\n## 0\n\n## [1810 k―2] \n\n## 0", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 434290, "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": "CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 291, "title": "CO129-382 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "times been suggested by Japan and Russia, we might perhaps use our influence with those Powers to arrange some settlement of the Chinchow-Aigun project, but Mr. Straight, I understand, will have no half measures.

(No. 294.)** Sir,\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that on the 23rd August an Imperial decree was issued cashiering Tang Shou-chien, president of the Chekiang Provincial Railway Company, forbidding him to take any further part in railway affairs.\n\nTang's downfall is due to his having sent a long telegram to the Grand Council, in which he protested vehemently against Sheng Hsuan-huai being instructed to proceed to take up his post as junior vice-president of the Board of Communications. Sheng was accused by Tang of general mismanagement of railway affairs in the past and of enriching himself at the expense of the public. However, the telegram was so insolent in tone that on the advice of the Grand Council the Prince Regent dismissed T'ang from office.\n\nTang, as is generally known, has been at the bottom of all the trouble connected with the Shanghai-Ningpo Railway and the failure to observe the terms of the Loan Agreement. It is to be hoped, therefore, that now he has been removed conditions on this railway will be improved, and that the Board of Communications will be encouraged at an early date to take the control of the line into their own hands in the manner suggested in my note to the Wai-wu Pu of the 14th June, forwarded to you in my despatch No. 203 of the 18th June.\n\nSo far as can be seen at present the Chekiang gentry are not prepared to meekly acquiesce in T'ang's sudden dismissal, and meetings have been organised at Hangchow to protest against the action of the Government. It is not expected, however, that the agitation on behalf of T'ang will assume serious proportions, and Mr. Liu Yu-lin has informed me that in any case it will not influence the attitude of the central Government.\n\nIn official circles the cashiering of Tang Shou-ch'ien meets with general approval, and the hope is expressed that it may be indicative of the future action of the Government in regard to railway construction. It is evident that centralisation of authority is essential to successful railway construction in China and in order to ensure this no recognition should be afforded to provincial railway companies. It is to be hoped that Tang's dismissal is a sign that the Chinese Government are prepared to observe this principle.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**W. G.

Heidenstam's appointment, in the first instance, to a term of one year can be agreed to.\n\nAs regards his diploma, the original of this has already been submitted to Excellency by the hand of a deputy, and a copy thereof is now enclosed herewith for record. As regards certificates of his previous experience, M. Heidenstam early in December handed to the Shanghai taotai a memorandum, from which it appears that during the years 1905, 1906, and 1907 he was employed on conservancy work in Sweden in connection with rivers, lakes and bays, and canals as engineer, and also as assistant superintendent; in 1908 he studied the principal European rivers in Germany, Austria, Sweden, and other countries, such as the Danube, Tsai(?) rivers; in 1908 and 1909 he was engaged in work on river embankments and canals in America; he has already telegraphed to Sweden for all his certificates. From the above it is evident that M. Heidenstam has had ample experience in river works.\n\nM. de Rijke having already returned to his home, and it being essential that the Whangpoo works should not be left any longer without an engineer-in-chief, we have the honour to ask that the foreign representatives will at an early date give their consent to M. Heidenstam succeeding to M. de Rijke's post.\n\nWith regard to the statement contained in your Excellency's note under reply, that the dissolution of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board, &c., having been notified by despatch the cancellation of such should also be notified in the same manner, the board hereby expressly declares that although the name of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board has been altered to the Whangpoo Maintenance Board the treaty stipulations will still be adhered to, that the convention of 1905 will not be abandoned, and that the control of the said board will continue to rest with the Shanghai taotai and commissioner of customs.\n\nRequesting the honour of an early reply, we have, &c.\n\n### Enclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n**Dean of Diplomatic Body to Prince Ch'ing**\n\nPékin, le 6 janvier, 1911.\n\nJ'AI l'honneur d'accuser réception à votre Altesse de la note qu'elle a bien voulu m'adresser le 3 janvier dernier et de lui faire connaître, au nom des représentants des Puissances, que le Gouvernement chinois pourra considérer la nomination de M. de Heidenstamm en qualité d'ingénieur-en-chef du \"Whangpoo Conservancy\" pour un an comme acceptée par eux à partir du moment où les assurances données par le Gouvernement Impérial dans sa note précitée, en ce qui concerne le maintien du \"Conservancy Board\" (\"Whangpoo Maintenance Office\") dans les conditions prévues par l'arrangement de 1905, auront reçu leur exécution à Shanghaï.\n\n### Enclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n**Programme of Whangpoo Conservancy Board**\n\n| Clause | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. | THE Whangpoo Conservancy Board of Administration, to be known shortly as the \"Conservancy Board,\" shall consist of the Shanghai taotai, the Shanghai customs commissioner, and the coast inspector. |\n| 2. | The authority with which the Conservancy Board is invested is delegated to it by the Imperial Chinese Government, and, consequently, the board is in no way subordinate to the provincial authorities. The several members of the board have, as such, equal authority, and the opinion of the majority is to be determinative. |\n| 3. | The board shall have entire charge of the finances connected with conservancy matters. In this connection :- |\n| | (a.) The original annual Government grant of 460,000 taels shall periodically, on fixed dates, be paid to the board's accounts, in whatever bank or banks such accounts may be kept, and the board will take charge of the existing conservancy loan account, and will provide for the payment of the principal and interest as they fall due. |\n| | (b.) All conservancy funds, in whosoever's hands, shall, within thirty days of the promulgation of this agreement, be paid to the Conservancy Board's account. |\n| | (c.) Any new annual Government grant that may be made shall periodically, on fixed dates, be paid in full to the Conservancy Board's account. |\n| | (d) The conservancy tax on imports and exports, referred to in article 4, shall be collected by the commissioner of customs, and shall periodically, on fixed dates, be paid to the Conservancy Board's account, |\n| | (e.) The Conservancy Board will disburse conservancy funds for the execution of the necessary works, and for the maintenance of staff and office at his discretion. Cheques will be cashed on the signatures of any two members. |\n| 4. | The several chambers of commerce and associations representing the commercial interests of Shanghai having agreed to the raising of a tax for conservancy purposes, consisting of 3 per cent. of the customs duties, and, in the case of duty-free goods, of 1 per mille of value, the tax shall be dealt with, as provided for in article 3 (d), as soon as such formalities as are necessary to regularise it have been completed and notified to the Conservancy Board by the Ministers. |\n| 5. | For all contracts in connection with the works and for the purchase of material or machinery, &c., public tenders will be invited, and the tender offering the most advantageous conditions accepted. |\n| 6. | The Conservancy Board shall appoint at its discretion and shall control the staff necessary for the work to be effected, including the secretary and engineer in charge. |\n| 7. | The general jurisdiction of the Conservancy Board extends over the Whangpoo from the Yang-tsze to its tidal limit, that is to say, within those limits, between the high-water lines, no operation which may possibly affect the regimen of the river shall be undertaken without the Board's consent, nor without such consent shall pontoons or hulks connected to the shore be established. |\n| 8. | Under the conservancy agreement of 1905 provision that the conservancy funds benefit by the sales of Crown lands, in so far as such sales were rendered justifiable by the conservancy scheme, was left undefined. During the operation of that agreement large quantities of Crown lands, with the conservancy normal line as a boundary, have been sold by the Shenko Office, by which the conservancy funds should have, but have not, benefited. It is decided that, subsequent to the promulgation of this agreement, this matter be jointly investigated by the taotai and the consular body, as the preliminary to the addition of a supplementary article to this agreement. |\n| 9. | The duties of the Conservancy Board are---- |\n| | (1.) At an early date to come to a conclusion in consultation with the engineer in charge concerning-- |\n| | (a.) What should be the ultimate aim of conservancy works; |\n| | (b.) What measures are necessary to secure that end; |\n| | (c.) What is the estimated cost of such measures. |\n| | (2.) To maintain existing conservancy works in effective condition, including the construction of such new works as are necessary for that purpose. |\n| | (3.) To provide and maintain a channel from the Yang-tsze to Shanghai, having, as far as circumstances and funds permit, a least depth of 20 feet at mean low water of spring tides over a least width of 900 feet. |\n| | (4.)

The latter part of this programme was, however, abandoned in 1908, and total prohibition imposed on the 25th July of that year.\n\nAlthough there was considerable reduction during the season 1908-9, cultivation was still carried on during the season of 1909-10; but it was confined, so far as is known, to the departments of Fu Chou, always the chief opium centre of the province, Hui-li Chou (latitude 20° 36′ north, and longitude 102° 15′ east), and Mao Chou (latitude 31° 39′ north, and longitude 103° 45′ east), with a much smaller area in that part of the Wan Hsien district, lying to the south of the Yang-tsze. In the department of Fu Chou the growers defied the local authorities, and a much larger area was sown and a much heavier crop harvested. In the summer of 1910 the province was mapped out into five circuits, and to each circuit an officer with the rank of taotai was appointed to carry out absolute prohibition. A large number of officials of inferior rank were also deputed to travel through the province and report progress or the reverse. Towards the end of November of last year it was discovered that at a place called Yün-t'ai-p'u or Yün-tai-ch'ang, in the district of Chang-shou Hsien, where it borders on the district of Tien-chiang Hsien (latitude 30° 21' north, and longitude 107° 23′ east), the farmers had sown the poppy, and when the magistrate of Chang-shou proceeded to uproot the young plants resistance was offered and the magistrate obliged to beat a retreat. The matter was reported to the Viceroy, who dismissed the magistrate and instructed the Prefect of Chungking to proceed to Yün-t'ai-ch'ang with sufficient force to compel the growers to destroy the crop. This was done, and Yün-t'ai-ch'ang is believed to be the only place in which cultivation was attempted throughout the whole province in 1910. It is true that the poppy was seen by reliable witnesses in the department of Mao Chou during the summer of 1910; but there can be little doubt that, as in Kansu and Shensi, the seed had been sown towards the end of the previous year, and that the crop belonged to the season of 1909-10.\n\nMeantime, in November 1909, regulations had been issued prohibiting the import of native opium into Szechuan from the neighbouring provinces of Kansu, Shensi, Yunnan, and Kueichow, from the 10th April, 1910, and by the same regulations the export of opium from Szechuan was prohibited from the 7th July, 1910. Strong objection was raised by the opium merchants to the shortness of the time limit for export, and they contended that it would be impossible for them to clear their stocks before the 7th July. In answer to their appeal the period was extended for three months (i.e., to the 3rd October, 1910). The opium dealers in Szechuan taking advantage of the high prices caused by reduced production and consequent shortage of supplies, adulterated the drug so heavily that down-river buyers suffered serious losses, demand slackened, and prices fell, leaving considerable stocks still unexported. Towards the end of September it became evident that the stocks in hand could not be cleared before the 3rd October, and a compromise was affected whereby all certificated raw opium was allowed to be stored in what is tantamount to a bonded warehouse pending export. At Chungking the three months' extension was granted conditionally on all stocks held there being reported to and duly certificated by the Raw Opium Bureau before the 6th July, the date originally fixed for the prohibition of export from the province. The amount so certificated at that date was 3,051 piculs, and the amount stored in the bonded warehouse between the 23rd September and 3rd October is given as 1,300 piculs. Export of this stock, provided with the necessary warehouse permit, is still proceeding through the Imperial Maritime Customs at Chungking, on payment of the usual export duty of 20 Haikuan taels per picul, for native customs duty (22 taels), li-kin (7 t. 28 m.), and railway tax (7 t. 28 m.), a total of 36 t. 56 m. per picul, were abolished from the 3rd October, 1910, and export now takes place through the Imperial Maritime Customs only. In addition to the Imperial Maritime Customs duty of 20 Haikuan taels, each picul of opium continues to pay the T'ung-shui or consolidated duty of 115 K'u-P'ing taels on arrival at Ichang.\n\nI have stated above that the arrivals of native opium at Ichang by the Yang-tsze route from the western provinces amounted in 1910 to 28,350 piculs against 51,817 piculs in 1909, a decrease of 23,467 piculs. This decrease was undoubtedly due in the main to greatly diminished cultivation, and it would have been more marked had not stocks held in the province from previous years been drawn upon to a larger extent than usual, and still greater had adulteration been practised on a less extensive scale. The export during 1910 must not, therefore, be taken to represent the opium surplus available from the one season of 1909-10.\n\nI commenced my investigation into the cultivation of the poppy and the production of opium in Szechuan on the 12th January, 1910. On the morning of that day I left the junk in which I had travelled up the Yang-tsze from the port of Ichang at the district city of Wu-shan Hsien, in the east of the province, and proceeded northwards through that district and the district of Ta-ning Hsien as far as the city of that name. From Ta-ning Hsien I travelled westward through the north of the district of Yün-yang Hsien to the district city of K'ai Hsien, and then south through the districts of K'ai Hsien and Wan Hsien to the north bank of the Yang-tsze, where I rejoined my junk after a journey of thirteen days. In these five districts I did not see a single poppy plant, and this was all the more remarkable because in former years the K'ai Hsien district held the second place among the chief opium producing centres of the province. At the city of K'ai Hsien and throughout the district generally I ascertained that poppy cultivation had entirely ceased after the season of 1908-9. In Wan Hsien, on the other hand, the poppy had been grown in small quantities during the season of 1909-10 in that part of the district which lies to the south of the Yang-tsze. In 1910-11, however, it had disappeared. From Wan Hsien I proceeded up-river through the department of Chung Chou and the district of Fêng-tu Hsien to the department city of Fu Chou, on the right bank of the Yang-tsze. In former years the banks of the river exposed during low water and the country adjacent thereto in those departments and district used to be covered with poppy, but a careful examination now showed that the only crops on the ground were broad beans, rape, wheat, peas, and a certain amount of unharvested sugar-cane.\n\nThe department of Fu Chou, well known to have been the chief opium producing centre of the province, had offered the most strenuous resistance to the measures of suppression and, instead of reducing the area annually devoted to poppy, had largely extended it during the season of 1909-10. For this reason I travelled through the department from the city of Fu Chou south-west to the district city of Nan-ch'uan Hsien, thence west to the district city of Ch'i-chiang Hsien, and then north through the district of Pa Hsien to the port of Chungking. In the department of Fu Chou, as in the other three districts, my search was unrewarded with the sight of a single poppy plant. In 1882 I had travelled through the districts of Pa Hsien and Ch'i-chiang Hsien at the same season of the year on my way to the provinces of Kueichow and Yunnan and had then found the poppy in abundance, many of the valleys in the Pa Hsien district being entirely given up to it.\n\nIn February 1883 I had travelled overland from Chungking to Chêngtu, and in February 1903 from Chia-ting Fu to Chêngtu. As my report of the former journey (`China, No. 2, 1884`) and my diary of the latter contain daily references to the abundance of the poppy, always holding its own with beans, wheat, or rape, or at others the most prominent crop. I resolved to travel overland from Chungking to Chêngtu by way of Chia-ting, and thus be able to compare the conditions to-day with those existing in 1883 and 1903. I left Chungking on the 13th February, and travelling through the districts of Pa Hsien, Chiang-ching, Ki-shan, Yang-ch'uan, Ta-tsu, Jung-ch'ang, Lung-ch'ang, Fu-shun, Jung Hsien, Wei-yüan, Ching-yen, Chien-wei, Lo-shan, Ching-shen, the department of Nei-chow, Pêng-shui, Hsin-ching, Shuang-liu, and Hua-yang, arrived after fifteen days' continuous overland travel at Chêngtu, the provincial capital. It is unnecessary to go into details regarding each of these districts; but I may mention that seven years ago the district of Jung Hsien produced opium on a very large scale, and that from the city walls in March a magnificent view was obtained of one vast poppy garden in full bloom stretching to the horizon in all directions.\n\nIn not one of those districts did I observe the poppy, and the result of my investigation was fully corroborated by the testimony of missionaries whom I took the opportunity of questioning wherever possible. They had neither seen the poppy nor heard of its cultivation during the season of 1910-11.\n\nOn arrival in Chêngtu I approached the numerous missionary bodies resident there, and their unanimous reply was that those of their members who had recently been travelling in their respective districts had seen no poppy, and that the information which they had received from other districts throughout the province was equally emphatic as to its disappearance.\n\nAs the result, therefore, of my own personal investigation, extending over thirty-four days' travel overland, and of the testimony of others, I am satisfied that poppy cultivation has for the present been suppressed in Szechuan, and there can be no doubt that this success is due to the ability and energy of his Excellency the Viceroy, Chao Erh-hsün, who assumed office on the 16th June, 1908, and left for Peking on the 5th February, 1911, and in a lesser degree of his brother his Excellency Chao Erh-feng, now warden of the marches of Szechuan and Yunnan, who was in charge of the province from the 4th March, 1907, to the 11th June, 1908, and of his Excellency \n\n## 3", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 434874, "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": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 288, "title": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "## British court of law, the British and Chinese Corporation (Limited) are prepared to accept the proposal, provided that your Excellencies will be good enough to give them assurances on the following points:\n\n1.

I HAVE the honour to enclose the copy of a despatch which I have received from the acting British consul at Chungking reporting that a new survey has been made for the railway which the provincial authorities aspire to build between Yünnan-fu and Sui-fu, on the Yang-tsze River.\n\nThe realisation of the project is still very problematical, but the report is of interest as showing the work that the American engineers employed by the Government of Yunnan are doing.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1.\n\n## Acting Consul Toller to Sir J. Jordan.\n\n(No. 7.) Sir,\n\nChungking, February 22, 1911. MR. DAWLEY, the American engineer engaged by the Szechuan-Yunnan Railway Company, arrived here on the 17th instant, after a thirteen months' journey from Yunnan-fu, during which time he has made an accurate survey of the country to be traversed by the proposed railway from that city to the Yang-tsze. Mr. Dawley kindly showed me his general plan of the line, and I now have the honour to enclose a sketch-map that I have prepared,* illustrating the points in which the route proposed by Mr. Dawley diverges from those suggested by previous surveyors. (My diagram is adapted to the General Staff Map of Yunnan: Mr. Dawley's tracé is indicated by a continuous red line; other suggested routes by dotted red lines.)\n\nThe essential feature of this new route is the use of the valley of the River Niu-lan. It is claimed that this course not only shortens the distance considerably, but also gives a much easier gradient - through a distance of some 200 miles the incline is only 1 per cent. A further advantage is that this line would not pass through any part of Kueichou, so inter-provincial complications will be avoided.\n\nA few miles south of Chao-t'ing the line leaves the valley of the Niu-lan and joins, at T'ao-tien P'u, the previously proposed route, To do this it goes up the bed of a small tributary of the river, the gradient here rising to as much as 2 per cent., though it is hoped that a resurvey will reduce this figure.\n\nNorth of Chao-t'ung still more serious difficulties are encountered. Mr. Dawley considers that it would be impossible to take the line through Ta-kuan Ting (the course indicated in earlier surveys), and proposes to follow a river valley to the west, about midway between that town and Yung-shan Hsien. He admits that even this route would present very grave engineering problems, for in one place there is a drop of 1,600 feet in 16,000. This could be escaped by tunnelling, but he wishes to obviate that as far as possible, so has left his assistant, with a party of Chinese surveyors, to try to discover some practical detour. Mr. Dawley's line joins that of the former survey at Hsin-kai, north of Ta-kuan Ting, and thence follows the valley of the Heng River to An-pien, and that of the Yang-tsze to Sui-fu. The total length of this new route is 410 miles, and the cost of construction is estimated at from 25,000,000 to 35,000,000 taels. The amount of capital collected by the railway company up to the date of commencement of the survey was 2,000,000 taels.\n\nMr. Dawley is, I understand, engaged under a three years' contract, about half of which has yet to run.\n\nHis annual salary is said to be 15,000 dollars gold, and he is provided with an American assistant, Mr. Hawke by name, and a large staff of Chinese engineers, trained in the Yunnan-fu Railway College.\n\n`[1985 -2]`\n\n*Not reproduced.\n\n284", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 434919, "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": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 333, "title": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "## Article 2\nbe paid within six months after the date of the payment of the above stated 300,000l.

In this connection His Majesty's consul-general at Chengtu observes that the new system is in all essentials the same as that introduced into Korea by the Japanese advisers of 1891 and the constitution of the courts is practically identical with the Japanese.\n\nIn view of the importance of the reform, the following sketch of the new judicial system and the constitution of the courts may be of interest.\n\nAt the foot of the scale is the preliminary court, or court of first instance, which is to be established in each \"hsien,\" or county town, of each department; above this is the district or assize court to be established in every \"fu,\" or prefectural city, and at independent sub-prefectural cities. From the district court an appeal lies to the provincial high court, and thence to the final court of appeal, or cassation, in Peking. In the more distant provinces branches of the final court are to be attached to the high courts.\n\nThe high court is presided over by a \"president\" who ranks with the judicial commissioner. It has a civil and a criminal side, each of which is provided with a judge and two puisne judges. An assize court has a \"president and judge,\" with one assistant judge for civil and one for criminal cases, while a court of first instance should be under an assistant judge. Attached to each court is a staff of secretaries, clerks, ushers, &c. The high court and the assize court each have a \"procurator-general\" assisted by a \"procurator,\" and a court of first instance a \"procurator\" only. The duties of these officers combine those of Crown advocate and sheriff. All officers of, or above, the rank of puisne judge or \"procurator\" are styled law officers, and are selected by examination, except the \"president\" and \"procurator-general,\" who are appointed by commission from the Throne. The examinations are held in Peking, except for the more distant provinces, which receive examiners from the capital.\n\n## Prisons\n\nHis Majesty's consul at Nanking reports that a step is being made towards prison reform on western lines by the establishment of a model gaol for offenders convicted of the less serious crimes. The prisoners are properly fed, and made to keep their cells clean and take regular exercise. They are also taught a trade, and earn wages which are remitted to their families. His Majesty's consul at Pakhoi reports that Kuo taotai has caused the prisons of Ch'in Chou to be conducted on similar reformatory lines. In November a training school was opened at Chungking for 700 rural police for the neighbouring country districts. In Kiangsu an attempt is being made to police the streets of Isinghua and a police system has been inaugurated at Huai An Fu.\n\n## Other Reforms\n\n### Standardisation of Weights and Measures in Szechuan\n\nHis Majesty's consul at Chungking reports that an attempt is being made to introduce the standardisation of weights and measures of length and capacity, but great difficulties are being met with in regard to weights owing to the confusion and opportunities for cheating attending the transition stage.\n\n### Post to Thibet\n\nThe Imperial Chinese post is extending its service from the former western terminus of Tachienlu to Batang, a difficult portion of road notorious for robbers, and a similar extension is to be made from Lbassa to Chiamdo. The two lines are doubtless eventually intended to effect a junction.\n\n## Railways\n\n### Tien-tsin-Pukou\n\nThe coupling of the Tien-tsin-Pukow with the Peking-Mukden Railway is now an accomplished fact. The opening ceremony was performed on the 19th December. The Tien-tsin terminus is what was formerly known as the \"city station,\" now called the Tien-tsin Central Station. A regular service of construction trains runs between Tien-tsin and Tsinan, the journey occupying some fourteen hours. The line is open to Taian-fu, 76 kilom, south of Tsinan. On the southern section construction trains now carry passengers, and the section between Pukow and Lin Huai Kuan will be opened to traffic in spring.\n\n### Hankow-Canton Railway\n\nVery little progress has been made on the Changsha-Chuchou section. About 14 miles of sleepers and rails have been laid between Chuchou and Chaoshan, but the permanent way has not been ballasted, and no bridges have been erected. Between Chaoshan and Changsha the road-bed is being made. It is hoped to complete the line from Yochow to Chenchou in about five years.\n\n### Szechuan-Hankow Railway (Hupeh Railways)\n\nConsiderable progress has been made during the quarter. At Ichang three godowns and an engine shed at the wharf are finished, and the east-gate station buildings are nearing completion. The first tunnel of about 1,000 feet, at about 12 miles from Ichang, has been pierced, and a construction train runs for a mile or two.\n\n### Canton-Kowloon Railway\n\nThe British section of Canton-Kowloon Railway was opened during the quarter as also the first section of the line at the Canton end.\n\n### Canton Kowloon-Yueh-Han Railway\n\nIt is proposed to build a line connecting the Yueh Han and Canton Kowloon Railways. This line of some 3 or 4 miles would pass through the north-east suburbs of Canton. The route has been surveyed and presents no engineering difficulties. The line would soon pay.\n\n### Shanghai Hangchow-Ningpo Railway\n\nThe Chekiang Railway Company have gradually carried out improvements on the permanent way so that the line is at present in fair condition. A handsome red brick station has been erected within the Hangchow city walls and is practically complete.\n\nIt is rumoured that work is soon to be stopped on the Ningpo-Shaoshing section for lack of funds.\n\n### Peking-Kalgan Railway (Chang Sui extension)\n\nThe distance from Kalgan to Sui Yuan Cheng is about 220 miles by the proposed route via Tatung-fu. The rail-head has reached Tsai Kou Pu 30 miles from Kalgan. It is expected to complete and open the whole section to Tien Chen Hsien by the end of the year, but the Board of Communications have ordered the suspension of construction beyond this point for four years.\n\n### Taichow-Shiherhwei Railway\n\nThe construction of the Taichow-Shiberhwei Railway and the raising of the necessary funds has been sanctioned in Peking. It is estimated to cost about 2,250,000 taels, but it is not clear where the money is to come from.\n\n### Fokien Railway (Chang-Hsia)\n\nThe railway is being mismanaged and work continues very slowly-10 miles complete. It is proposed to carry the line round Pholum which will add to its length, but obviate expenditure on a large bridge.\n\n### Kiangsi Railway (Nan-Hsün)\n\nWork is proceeding slowly and trains run as far as Wang Lao Men, about 20 miles from Kiukiang Station.\n\n### Tsingtau\n\nThe growing importance commercially of the port of Tsingtau is shown by the fact that German mail steamers from Europe call now regularly both on outward and homeward voyages. The P. and O. Company is now sending intermediate steamers to Tsingtau and the Messageries maritimes are contemplating similar action.\n\nPage 496", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435125, "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": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 539, "title": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "# \n## Cantan-Hankow (Yueh-Han)\nConstruction trains were running on the Changsha-Chuchou section (30 miles) in January 1911.\n\n## Canton-Samshui (San-Shui)\nThe line is deteriorating rapidly, and will soon require relaying throughout.\n\n## Kungyik-Hsinning (Hsinning) (Commonly called the Sunning Railway)\nThe Kong-Moon Extension is proceeding apace, and is expected to be completed during 1911.\n\n## Tien-tsin-Pukou (Tsin Pu)\n### South Section (British construction)\nRails now laid to Isu-Chou-fu, and completion of the whole section hoped for by middle of 1912.\n\n### North Section (German construction)\nAt the beginning of March, construction trains were running to a point 17 miles south of Tai-an-fu.\n\n## Szechuan-Hankow (Chuan-Han)\nOne hundred miles now under construction; 50,000 coolies working on the ten sections from Ichang to Hsiang-chi.\n\nConstruction trains run twice daily from the wharf at Ichang to rail-head (about 6 miles). Except for two cuts not quite finished the track can now be laid from the first 20 miles.\n\nTchang station will be finished in May. Engine-sheds and three store rooms completed; water-tower will soon be finished. All the bridges and drains in the first section are completed, and in progress in other sections.\n\n### Tunnels\nSome 50 miles from Ichang a 6,200-foot tunnel is under construction (much water hampers the work), about 25 miles from Ichang two other tunnels, each about 1,000 feet, are being made. A 700-foot tunnel, some 15 miles from Ichang, is now completed.\n\nDuring 1910 over 100,000l. worth of railway material was imported, including two locomotives from America. Machinery from England and Germany, rails from Hanyang, cement from Hong Kong, &c.\n\nOne private car, one 2nd-class car, and one brake-van have been put together; and one director's car, and some 1st- and 2nd-class cars are being built in the workshops. Over forty ballast cars are now in use.\n\nThe machine-shops plant (from Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg, and Co.) has arrived and will soon be put up in the newly-built workshops.\n\nAnother 500-horse-power tug and two 200-ton lighters have recently been ordered from the new Engineering Company of Shanghai for better transportation of material between Hankow and Ichang. Eleven 100-feet spans have been ordered from the America Bridge Company of New York, and are to be delivered in May. Large orders for cement and timber have also been given. Earthwork and tunnel tenders for the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, and tenth sections have been opened and will be decided this month (April). It is estimated that the section to Wan Hsien will take some fifteen years to complete. Funds still in hand said to be from 1,000,000l. to 1,500,000l.\n\n## Honan-Tungkuan (Lo-Tung)\nBy January 1911 the road-bed had been made as far as Tiehmen, 40 miles from Honan-fu.\n\n## Yunnan-Szechuan\nI attach a sketch-map of the trace from Yunnan-fu to Sui-fu now projected by Mr. Dawley, the American engineer employed on the survey of the line. He arrived at Chung King on the 17th February, after a thirteen months' journey from Yunnan-fu, accurately surveying. This trace differs from those previously suggested by the use of the Niu Lan valley, which not only shortens the distance to 410 miles, but gives a much easier gradient. For some 200 miles the incline is only 1 per cent. Up a small affluent of the Niu Lan the gradient rises to 2 per cent. North of Chao-Tung very difficult. Mr. Dawley considers it impossible to take the line through Ta-Kuan, and proposes to follow the valley of the main westerly branch of the Hêng Chiang. Here even, in one place, there is a drop of 1,600 feet in 16,000 feet. Cost of construction estimated at 25,000,000 to 35,000,000 taels. Amounts of capital collected by the railway company up to date of commencement of survey was 2,000,000 taels.\n\nMr. Dawley is on a three years' contract, of which about one-half has expired. He has one American assistant, Mr. Hawke, and a large staff of Chinese engineers, trained in the Yunnan-fu Railway College. After staying three or four days in Chung King, Mr. Dawley left for Na Chi Hsien, to go up the valley of the Yung-Ning Ho to Pi Chieh and Wei Ning. He will not make a detailed survey, but general observation of the levels, with a view to a possible alternative trace. He does not think any line from the Yang-tsze to Yunnan-fu will be completed for at least seven or eight years, and is pessimistic as to its ultimate success. There is reason to believe that if the Chuan-Han Railway's steamboat project is carried out, construction will be begun from the Sui-fu end, as freights for material by the Tonkin line are prohibitive. A few miles of track may be laid down near Yünnan-fu to encourage subscription.\n\n## Antung-Mukden\nGreater progress is being made than was anticipated, and the line may be completed by the autumn of this year.\n\nNothing fresh to report.\n\nPeking, April 24, 1911.\n\n## TELEGRAPHS\nM.

No loan, charge, or mortgage shall be raised or created which shall take precedence of or be on an equality with this loan, or shall in any manner lessen or impair its security over the aforesaid provincial revenues, and any future loan, charge, or mortgage charged on the said provincial revenues other than the second series of the present loan provided for in article 15 aforementioned shall be made subject to this loan, and it shall be so expressed in every agreement for every such future loan, charge, or mortgage.\n\nAfter redemption of the existing gold bonds, referred to in article 2 of this agreement, it is understood and agreed that, so long as this loan is unredeemed, the railways shall under no circumstances be mortgaged nor their receipts given as security to any other party.\n\nIn the event of the Chinese Government, during the currency of this loan, entering upon definite arrangements for the revision of the customs tariff, accompanied by stipulations for the decrease or abolition of li-kin, it is hereby agreed, on the one hand, that such revision shall not be barred by the fact that this loan is secured by li-kin and provincial revenues, and, on the other hand, that whatever li-kin is required to provide the security of this loan shall neither be decreased nor abolished except by previous arrangement with the banks, and then only in so far as an equivalent is substituted for it in the shape of a first charge upon the increase of customs revenue consequent upon such revision.\n\n## Art. 10. \nThe banks are hereby authorised to issue to the subscribers to the loan bonds for the total amount of the loan in gold, for such amounts as may appear advisable to the banks. The form and language of the bonds shall be settled by the banks in consultation with the Ministry of Posts and Communications or the Chinese Minister in Berlin, London, Paris, or Washington; they shall bear the facsimile of the signature of the Minister of Posts and Communications and of his seal of office, in order to dispense with the necessity of signing them all in person, and the Chinese Minister in Berlin and/or London and/or Paris and/or Washington at the option of the banks shall, previous to the issue of the bonds, put his seal upon each bond, with a facsimile of his signature, as a proof that the issue and sale of the bonds are duly authorised by and binding upon the Imperial Chinese Government. The representatives of the banks in Berlin, London, Paris, or New York, as the case may be, shall countersign the bonds as agents for the issue of the loan.\n\nIn the event of any bond or bonds issued for this loan being lost, stolen, or destroyed, the group and/or bank or banks concerned shall immediately notify the Ministry of Posts and Communications and the Chinese Minister in Berlin, London, Paris, or Washington, as the case may be, who shall authorise the group and/or bank or banks concerned to insert an advertisement in the public newspapers notifying that payment of such bond or bonds has been stopped, and to take such other steps as may appear advisable or necessary according to the laws and customs of the country concerned, and should any bond or bonds be destroyed, or should such lost or stolen bond or bonds not be recovered after a lapse of time to be fixed by the group and/or bank or banks concerned, the Chinese Minister in Berlin, London, Paris, or Washington, ... \n\n[2076 i-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435377, "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": "CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 157, "title": "CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "## 2\n\nThe meeting opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, presided over by the four gentlemen named above. The attendance from the first numbered a couple of thousand, which gradually swelled as time went on to five or six thousand—some say as many as ten thousand—comprising chiefly representatives from the army, the students, and the gentry. From the account of the second writer, who attended this and the previous meeting to take notes, there appears to have been no order or coherence whatever. Speaker after speaker ascended the platform merely to indulge in hysterical denunciation of the evil designs of foreign Powers and to exhaust himself in violent abuse of the president of the Board of Communications, one perfervid orator going so far as to bite his fingers repeatedly until the blood ran. The din and hubbub were indescribable, and the audience were worked up to a pitch of frantic excitement. During the progress of the meeting a leaflet was handed round, of which, as it purports to give the plan of campaign organised by the gentry and the students, I enclose copy and translation. The language of this leaflet, like that used at the meeting, is wildly extravagant, and out of all proportion to the interests at stake. It was, of course, designed to stir up the people and to frighten the provincial authorities—an aim which would certainly appear to have been successfully accomplished.\n\nOn Monday morning, 15th May, the **\"Changsha Jih Pao\"** published verbatim a letter addressed by the governor to the director-general of the railway, expressing the utmost sympathy with the Hunanese in losing control of the line, and undertaking to exert himself to the utmost to assist them in recovering it. His Excellency promised to memorialise the Throne on their behalf; and further expressed himself willing to receive for transmission to Peking any representations they might wish to make on the subject. He concluded by deprecating violence and excitement in dealing with the question.\n\nA notification issued by the educational commissioner also appeared in the newspaper, warning the students that they were not allowed to interfere in politics, and threatening to deal severely with any who attempted to stir up trouble or spoke of closing the schools.\n\nNo real attempt was made, however, to suppress the agitation; and anti-foreign hand-bills, couched in simple language to enable them to reach the great mass of the people, were distributed freely throughout the city. They were all very similar to the leaflet handed round at the meeting, but were still more violent and inflammatory; the familiar cry of the imminent partition of China was once more raised, Hunan among other provinces being assigned to the United Kingdom. No effort was spared to stir up feeling among the people, and the shopkeepers were urged to be ready to join in a general strike by closing up their shops.\n\nIn the morning I telegraphed to you briefly the state of affairs, suggesting that the dispatch of a gun-boat to Changsha was advisable. At the same time, I addressed a despatch to the governor, forwarding a copy of one of the anti-foreign leaflets, and complaining of the inaction of the authorities.\n\nNo measures, however, were taken, and the situation developed rapidly. The same evening it was announced that, unless the reply of the Central Government to the governor's telegraphic memorial was favourable, a general strike would be proclaimed at once; and Thursday, the 18th May, was fixed as the latest date for waiting. The most reassuring factor in the situation was the confidence reposed in the troops, especially in the Hunan mixed brigade under General Yang. Some members of the foreign community were inclined to cast doubts on their loyalty; but, apart from the fact that their trustworthiness was amply vindicated at the time of the riot last year, my enquiries satisfied me that they were to be depended upon.\n\nOn Tuesday morning, 16th May, the excitement reached its height. The anti-foreign propaganda was proceeding unchecked; the anti-foreign leaflets were still being freely distributed; anti-foreign placards had made their appearance on the walls, and the students were openly threatening the governor's life if the reply of the Central Government was not satisfactory. I wrote again to the governor complaining that no precautionary or repressive measures whatever had been taken by the officials, and requested categorically to know whether he could guarantee protection to the foreign community. In reply to a question put to me on the subject, I said that it would be as well if no foreign women or children spent the night in the city. Some of them went down river to Hankow. Others slept on board the steamers in port; while others again moved over to the island opposite the city where the Customs residences stand. The men, however, with one or two exceptions, remained. At this point, however, the accounts of the two consulate writers who were busily engaged throughout in collecting information indicate that the gentry suddenly decided to range themselves on the side of law and order. In the light of subsequent events I am inclined to believe that they had not contemplated going to extremes, but had merely desired to frighten the Government into compliance with their wishes. The movement had, however, got quite out of hand; the students were altogether beyond control; and the gentry, faced with an imminent riot, decided that they must cry a halt. They urged on the students the importance of confining themselves to pacific measures; but the latter were not inclined to listen. The governor, however, heartened doubtless by the support of the gentry, at last rose to the occasion. I received a reply from him the same evening, stating that he would protect foreigners; and he also sent the Customs taotai to reassure me as to the situation. Guards of soldiers were placed outside all the foreign establishments in the city, and a proclamation was issued by the governor pointing out that, if the people really imagined they had a grievance, they could elect representatives to lay the matter before him, when he would memorialise the Throne on their behalf; but that everything must be done in a peaceable manner. I understood, however, that inflammatory leaflets were being freely distributed, which were causing great excitement, and that it was openly stated that there would be no hesitation in bringing about international complications.\n\nHe went on to say that, if a disturbance resulted, the law-abiding classes would be the first to suffer; and he further stated that the railway question was being used as a pretext by bad characters who were anxious to stir up trouble. But being responsible for the safety of the people, it was impossible for him to show the least leniency towards such manifestations; and he had therefore given orders to all civil and military officials to suppress the least sign of disorder and to punish all in any way attempting to make trouble.\n\nThe following day, the 17th May, the situation had improved considerably, as reported in my telegram of that date. The distribution of hand-bills had completely ceased; the anti-foreign placards had been torn down and replaced by copies of the governor's proclamation; the streets were patrolled by soldiers, who allowed no crowds to form and kept the people moving; while any found spreading alarming rumours were immediately arrested. The students had by no means cooled down, and still openly intimated their intention of bringing about a general strike in case the railway was not restored to Hunanese control. The gentry, however, were doing their best to check the excitement, for which they themselves were largely responsible; and I felt assured that any disturbance that might arise would be quickly suppressed with the aid of the military.\n\nThe opening of the extraordinary session of the Provincial Assembly on the 18th May was looked forward to eagerly, as it was anticipated that the regular business of the meeting would be set aside in favour of the railway question. Large numbers of notables and students attended what was expected to be a fierce debate. They were disappointed, however. Not a word was spoken on the subject of the railway, and the Assembly busied itself exclusively with the estimates for the 2nd year of Hsuan-t'ung. I attribute this largely to the influence of Yüan Shu-hsün, the ex-Governor-General of Liang Kuang, who had been specially invited down from Siangtan to assist the officials and the gentry with his advice; it unquestionably did much to allay the general excitement, and strengthened the hands of the authorities in dealing with the situation. With the arrival of His Majesty's ship `Woodlark` the same afternoon I considered that any immediate need for anxiety had disappeared. It was not, however, until the 20th May, when the appointment of Tuan-fang as High Commissioner for the superintendence of the Hankow-Canton and the Hankow-Chêngtu Railways was received with equanimity, and when the gentry made it perfectly clear that they would countenance none but peaceable methods of opposition that I felt justified in telegraphing that there was little danger of trouble arising.\n\nNevertheless, it is impossible to predict what complications may arise when the question of the actual taking over of the railway comes to be dealt with and the gentry realise that the Central Government fully intends to assume control, as indicated by the recent Imperial edicts, in which all local levies on behalf of the line are ordered to be stopped at once, and the governor is directed to issue a special yellow proclamation to announce the news to the people. The gentry still hope to resume control of the line, and it is difficult to say to what lengths they may be prepared to proceed to accomplish their ends. Yesterday I obtained a copy of the petition which they are presenting to the governor for transmission to the Throne, in which they base their opposition to a foreign loan on three pleas:\n\n[2076 99-1]\n\n## 3 \n\n## B 2\n\n155", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435842, "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": "CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 52, "title": "CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "3\n\nShang Yang, in the Yen Ping Prefecture of the same province, a proclamation, dated the 11th March, was issued by the sub-prefect, forbidding the transport of opium from Foochow into the interior from the first day of that month, and stating that persons who proceeded to Foochow to make purchases would have their opium impounded and be themselves punished; and on the 9th May the district magistrate of Sha Hsien issued a proclamation fixing the 18th May as the date for the cessation of the import from outside of opium into the town and villages of the Sha Hsien district. Copies of these two proclamations, which are in direct violation of treaty engagements, are enclosed.\n\nAll these restrictions imposed on the opium trade in the province of Fukien have occasioned British merchants at Foochow very serious losses entitling them to compensation, and although they were at once brought to the notice of his Excellency the Viceroy of the Min-Che by His Majesty's consul at Foochow, with a request for their withdrawal, and formed the subject of repeated representations by this legation to the Wai-wu Pu, it was not till the middle of July that they were withdrawn. No sooner have they been removed than equally objectionable regulations containing fresh restrictions are imposed, for in August the commissioner of police at Foochow issued a proclamation embodying regulations applicable to traders and smokers of opium.\n\nThese regulations, as stated in the proclamation, were sanctioned by the Viceroy and put in force by his Excellency's instructions. The third of these regulations makes it compulsory for raw opium shops which purchase foreign opium to take out passes (\"san lien tan\") from the Opium Eradication Office, and ordains that opium bought without such passes shall be confiscated. This is another breach of the procedure laid down by treaty, and one of those restrictions which the Chinese Government solemnly undertook in article 7 of the agreement should never again be imposed. A copy of this proclamation, with regulations attached, is enclosed.\n\nI come now to the province of Hunan. At the port of Changsha dealers in raw opium were compelled to pay the smokers' licence tax. This procedure was abolished on receipt of the telegraphic instructions sent by the Wai-wu Pu in June, but was reimposed under instructions from the Board of Finance in the following month. But by proclamation and regulations issued by the financial commissioner, the judicial commissioner, and the police intendant on the 24th July, a new system was enforced whereby a tax of 160 cash is now being levied on every Chinese ounce of raw opium in utter disregard of paragraph 2 of article 7 of the agreement of the 8th May, which distinctly states that \"Indian raw opium having paid the consolidated import duty shall be exempt from any further taxation whatsoever in the port of import.\" A copy of this proclamation with appended regulation is enclosed.\n\nAgain, at Shanghai and Soochow, in the province of Kiangsu, dealers are called upon to pay the smokers' licence in contravention of the Wai-wu Pu's instructions of June, the Shanghai magistrate even declaring that he has no knowledge of these instructions, while his Excellency the governor of the province, in a telegraphic reply to His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai, quotes from a communication received by him from the Board of the Interior, to the effect that a joint memorial presented by the Board of the Interior and the Board of Finance, proposing that it be left to the Viceroys and governors of provinces to determine whether the smokers' licence fees should be collected direct from the smokers or dealers be held responsible for collection and payment, had been approved by Imperial rescript, and he adds that these instructions had been acted upon, as the authority of the Wai-wu Pu's orders was naturally restricted by a sanctioned memorial. Copies of a rescript by the Shanghai magistrate to a petition by the Opium Guild, and dated the 1st August, in which that official states that he had not received notice of the Wai-wu Pu's telegraphic instructions and of the governor's telegraphic reply to His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai, are enclosed.\n\nIn bringing these cases of provincial restrictions on and illegal taxation of the trade in Indian opium to the notice of the Wai-wu Pu, I must solemnly remind your Highness that the regulations under which they are imposed, regulations framed by officials of all ranks as well as by anti-opium associations and the like, are not only an infringement of the agreement of the 8th May, but that their mode of issue constitutes a violation of that instrument. Such regulations, to be valid under the agreement, should be issued by the Chinese Government, and the Chinese Government alone. Is it seemly that there should be several Government departments dealing with the question in Peking and issuing contradictory instructions? The Wai-wu Pu was the department which made the agreement, is responsible for its fulfilment, and should alone issue the necessary instructions.\n\nNor since the agreement was signed has this legation been deluged with complaints of its violation, and there is only one way of putting a stop to a state of things which has become intolerable, and the continuance of which must inevitably lead to further claims for compensation. The Chinese Government must carry out the obligations which they undertook under the agreement and themselves issue and publish any regulations which they consider necessary for the enforcement of the last paragraph of article 7; and I have the honour to request your Highness to give me an explicit assurance that this course will be strictly followed in future, and that the issue of further provincial regulations of any kind shall cease.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nJ.

Spakler wrote me saying he had received on that date a letter from the acting governor of Macao, stating that the opium was indeed for the Macao farmer. \n\n3. Yesterday the Netherlands Trading Society have again applied for a permit to export 150 chests of Indian opium to the opium farmer, Macao, also per steam-ship “Johanne.” The actual requirements of Macao are between 10 and 20 chests per month, say, on an average 15 chests per month. The Macao farmer is therefore receiving 310 chests within 6 weeks, or about 2 years' supply. As uncertified opium is not allowed into China at all, none of these chests unless smuggled can be for China. It is ridiculous to suppose that such enormous quantities are intended for local consumption in Macao. It can only be intended for smuggling in the form of chandu into other countries, e.g., Straits, Java, China, &c. The danger, therefore, to this colony is very serious, and is twofold. Every chest of uncertified opium sold to Macao over and above their legitimate requirements means so many chests less for sale to bona fide purchasers like ourselves, Java, Saigon, Bangkok, &c. (with Government control in each place). This will undoubtedly raise the price of raw opium against us, especially as an unrestricted importation for smuggling via Macao will induce the smugglers to pay almost any price. Further, having turned the opium into chandu, such chandu will undoubtedly be smuggled into the Straits, Java, &c., thus causing us a double loss of revenue. It seems to me, therefore, imperative for our own protection, unless all are prepared to acquiesce in serious financial losses, to take immediate steps to frustrate what is undoubtedly going on. \n\n4. Under section 5 (2) of the Chandu Revenue Ordinance, 1909, the Governor-in-Council has power to prohibit the export of opium or chandu to any place or subject same to conditions, \n\n5. I suggest that a letter be sent to the Macao Government, informing them that we are aware 310 chests of opium have gone there within six weeks, and as the normal requirements of Macao are only some 15 chests per month, we propose, unless they can show good cause to the contrary, to prohibit the export of opium from the colony to Macao for a period sufficient to allow for the normal consumption of 310 chests. \n\n6. I may say I have lived in Macao and know something of the Government. The place is moribund, and the opium farm rent is a large portion of their revenue. I am quite convinced the Macao Government will do nothing to embarrass the farmer, nor will they be guilty of excess of zeal in suppressing irregularities. We cannot object to their getting legitimate revenue from their farm, but we ought to object strongly to Macao being made the base of a series of operations which are bound to cause heavy financial losses to this colony. \n\n7. The withdrawal from the open market of such an enormous quantity as 310 chests for a place consuming only 15 chests per month cannot but have a great, immediate, and lasting effect in putting up the market price. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Telegraphic.)

REFERRING to my cypher telegram of the 17th instant, I am advised that large shipments of opium to Macao are still being made. Please send by despatch as soon as possible as complete a statement as can be obtained of amounts exported from Straits to Macao since the 1st July last with names of consignees. \n\nI should be glad if you would consider whether further action should not be taken under section 5 (2) of Ordinance 21 of 1909. \n\n(This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government) \n\nOPIUM.

WITH reference to my despatch No. 92 of the 22nd February, on the subject of the resumption of opium cultivation in China, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith a copy of a despatch which I have received from His Majesty's consul-general at Yünnan fu, reporting that in the prefectures of Chao-tung Fu and Tung-chuan Fu the passive attitude of the authorities has emboldened the farmers to clear their fields of young beans and supplant them with poppy, and that in the plain of Yunnan-fu the poppy is now being grown without any attempt at concealment.” \n\nIn his report on the province of Yunnan of the 15th April, 1911, Sir A. Hosie stated that a proclamation had been issued by the then Viceroy permitting the export through the port of Mengtzu of old stocks of opium for a period of four months from the 30th March to the 25th July, 1911, and, as will be observed from the enclosure contained in the despatch of His Majesty's consul-general, a similar proclamation was issued by the military governor of Yunnan on the 1st January, 1912, permitting export of stocks up to the 16th April, on the ground that the original period fixed for the sale of accumulated stocks was too short, and that, as large reserves still remained, smoking was carried on as a matter of course; but the fact that no opium had been reported for export up to the 9th February would appear to show that holders prefer to dispose of their stocks locally at their equivalent weight in silver, while, to judge from the recrudescence of cultivation throughout the province, farmers do not seem to attach much importance to the order of the military governor, that the cultivation of the poppy in hidden places will not be permitted. \n\nIn his despatch No. 5 of the 10th January, copy of which was forwarded direct to the Foreign Office, His Majesty's consul-general at Chengtu was able to report that opium was being very widely cultivated within the prefecture of Ya-chou Fu to the south-west of the provincial capital, and that the poppy was growing in great abundance all along the high road from Wang Hsien to Chengtu. He states, however, that this resumption of cultivation in Szechuan is contrary to the expressed wishes of the Chengtu Government, which has issued proclamations ordering the immediate and complete destruction of all poppy plants; but as the authority of the Chengtu Government had not yet been acknowledged in Eastern and Southern Szechuan, it was impossible to say how far its mandate could be enforced. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(No. 6.) Sir, \n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1. \n\nConsul-General O'Brien-Butler to Sir J. Jordan, \n\nJ. N. JORDAN. \n\nYunnan-fu, February 9, 1912. IN continuation of Mr. O'Brien-Butler's despatch No. 41 of the 25th November, 1911, I have the honour to report that a proclamation on the subject of opium was issued on the 1st January by the military governor of Yunnan province. \n\nThe terms of the new proclamation bear considerable resemblance to the abortive regulations drawn up by the ex-Viceroy and issued on the 11th April last (despatch No. 21 of 1911). In view of the recrudescence of poppy cultivation and the relaxation of strict supervision over opium smokers, I would venture to submit the opinion that the latest effort to rid Yünnan of its reserves of opium is doomed to a similar failure, and that the issue of this proclamation is merely an obvious and hypocritical pretence on the part of the provincial authorities, in consideration of recent opium agreements with foreign Powers, to carry on the work of suppression begun by his Excellency Hsi Liang and continued by the ex-Viceroy. I am informed that to date no opium has been produced at the two li-kin stations opened in Yünnan-fu and Mengtsz, those who ...\n\n[2412 bb-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 440356, "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": "CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 249, "title": "CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government\n\nOPIUM.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[March 25\n\n246\n\n10404\n\nSECTION 3Rrat 3 MAY 12\n\n[12644]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received March 25.)\n\n(No. 109.)\n\nPeking, March 5, 1912.\n\nSir,\n\nWITH reference to your telegram No. 31 of the 13th ultimo, on the subject of the alleged prohibition of the import of Indian opium into the province of Chekiang, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copies of despatches which I have received from His Majesty's consul at Hangchow, regarding the seizure at the railway station of Chiang-t'ou, or Chia-k'ou, on the left bank of the Ch'ien-t'ang River, of nine chests of Indian opium, in transit to the cities of Lan-ch'i Hsien and Ch'ü-chou, on the ground that they were not covered by provincial permits authorising the dealers to leave the province to purchase opium, and on the discovery being made later that such permits had been applied for and were unobtainable, that the amounts and weights did not agree with the particulars given in the Customs transit certificates.\n\nOn the 31st January I had received a telegram from Mr. Savage reporting this seizure, and on the following day I instructed him to communicate full information to His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai, whom I at the same time instructed to ascertain the facts, deny the validity of the provincial regulations, and, if all treaty requirements in regard to the opium had been complied with, make unofficial representations to Wu Ting-fang and obtain its release. Mr. Fraser's reply of the 14th February, stating that the opium was still detained on the new allegation that it exceeded the amount covered by the customs transit certificates, was repeated to you in my telegram No. 55 of the following day. On the 20th February Mr. Fraser reported that Mr. Wang, the republican Minister for Foreign Affairs, had stated in an interview that he was sure that my wishes in regard to the opium would be met; but on the 24th he telegraphed that, in spite of these assurances, nothing had been done up to that date. In the same telegram he informed me that the Messrs. Sassoon had produced a copy of a proclamation, dated the 13th February, by the Deputy-Governor of Shao-hsing ordering the destruction of all opium in stock after the end of the month, and refusing the petition of traders for passes to return it to Shanghai; that all opium shops throughout the province of Chekiang were closed; that British importers were unable to obtain payment for opium already sold, whether sent into Chekiang or in warehouse in Shanghai; and that His Majesty's consul at Hangchow had been informed that, as the preparation and smoking of opium were absolutely forbidden, stocks and imports from Shanghai could only be sold to medicine shops. On the 27th February I addressed a memorandum to the Wai-wu Pu requesting that immediate steps should be taken to put a stop to this interference with the trade in Indian opium, and pointing out that any destruction of Indian opium in the province of Chekiang, where opium was still being cultivated, would entail claims which it would be the duty of His Majesty's Government to enforce. A copy of this memorandum is enclosed.\n\nOn the 26th February His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai reported by telegraph that 14 piculs of Malwa opium in 144 packages duly labelled by the Chinese authorities and covered by twenty transit certificates on the way to the province of Kiangsi via railway to Hangchow had been, together with the native dealers accompanying it, who were supplied with Kiangsi permits to buy, seized at Hangchow railway station on the pretext that the certificates bore Imperial dates. On the receipt of this I at once telegraphed to His Majesty's consul at Nanking, instructing him to represent unofficially to the Provisional authorities the great harm which incidents of this kind are doing to the maintenance of the good relations which it is our earnest desire to cultivate with the authorities and people of China; that the pretext for this seizure is too flimsy to merit examination; and that the opium should be released at once. Apart from this case, I at the same time instructed him to point out that the repeated infringements of the new opium agreement which had occurred in territory under the immediate control of Nanking have produced a very unfavourable impression of the attitude of the Provisional Government towards treaty obligations, which nothing but a strict observance of the agreement in the future is likely to remove. His Majesty's consul replied on the 28th February that he had already made\n\n[2412 66-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 440641, "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": "CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 564, "title": "CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "2\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum communicated to Sir J. Jordan by the Wai-chiao Pu.\n\nTHE Wai-chiao Pu have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the memorandum from His Majesty's Minister, stating that, in the case of the nine chests of Indian opium seized at Ch'iang-t'ou in the province of Chekiang, the total loss owing to difference in value between the dates of seizure and release, interest, and miscellaneous expenses amounted to 7,124,715 taels, to which had to be added 500 dollars, the amount of the fine imposed, and that in the case of the one and a-half piculs of Indian opium seized and detained at Hangchow, the interest from the date of seizure to the date of release and the expenses incurred in connection with this case amounted to a total loss of 56.55 taels.\n\nThe memorandum added that Sir John Jordan had, in accordance with instructions from His Majesty's Government, to request immediate payment of these sums.\n\nThe Wai-chiao Pu are now in receipt of a reply from the Chekiang Tutu, embodying his investigations into this matter, and stating that in both these cases of detention the goods were the property of Chinese merchants, on whom also fell any losses there may have been, and that British merchants were not involved.\n\nThe manner of settlement of these two cases should, therefore, be discussed by the Chinese merchants concerned direct with the local authorities: British merchants must not interfere.\n\nThe Wai-chiao Pu have the honour to request that the above be communicated to His Majesty's Government.\n\nMay 27, 1912.\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nHU WEI-TË.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum communicated to Sir J. Jordan by the Wai-chiao Pu.\n\n556\n\nTHE Wai-chiao Pu have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the memorandum of the 21st May from His Majesty's Minister, reporting the receipt of telegrams from the Government of India and from the British consul-general at Canton, reporting the renewal at that port of obstructions to the foreign opium trade.\n\nThe memorandum under reply is entirely without detailed indications regarding the obstructions to the foreign opium trade at Canton. The Wai-chiao Pu have the honour, therefore, to request details as to the place, the owners of the foreign opium, and the circumstances of the obstruction, to enable them to send instructions for thorough investigation.\n\n80\n\nSir John Jordan's memorandum goes on to state that \"Szechuan and Shansi, which were declared free a year ago, are now in many districts ablaze with the poppy.\" Information is also requested as to the districts in which are situated the places where the poppy is actually being recultivated and as to the names of those places, to facilitate the issue of instructions for thorough investigation and suppression.\n\nThere is, however, one observation which must be made, namely, that at the present time of change in the situation in China, whilst confusion is throughout the country, the local officials have not the leisure to attend to this question, and it is impossible to prevent all possibility of evil-disposed people taking the opportunity to resume the cultivation of opium. The Chinese Government, however, have not changed in the smallest degree their attitude towards the policy of opium suppression. Some time ago orders were issued by the President to persevere in this policy, and now that the situation is becoming settled, strict suppression has again been enjoined. The peculiar conditions which have made their appearance cannot be stigmatised as entire failure in the fulfilment of treaty obligations.\n\nMay 24, 1912.\n\nHU WEI-TË.\n\nMemorandum communicated to the Wai-chiao Pu by Sir J. Jordan.\n\nSIR JOHN JORDAN has received the Wai-chiao Pu's memorandum of the 27th May, the contents of which have caused him considerable surprise.\n\nIt is not strange that the Tutu of Chekiang, whose short tenure of office has been marked by a flagrant disregard of all treaty rights, should have sought to contend that the seizure of Indian opium, while being conveyed into the interior by Chinese subjects, is no concern of British merchants, but as one who was connected with the negotiation of the 1885 Opium Agreement, who was present at its signature, and who has since watched its working with the closest interest, Sir John Jordan can affirm with confidence that this is the first time that any responsible Chinese Government has placed such an interpretation on the 3rd clause of that agreement, which stipulates that opium in which foreigners are interested must be conveyed into the interior by Chinese subjects.\n\nThe engagement into which China entered under the 1885 agreement applies to the goods, not to the merchants who carry the goods, and His Majesty's Minister must protest energetically against this encouragement which the Wai-chiao Pu are giving the Tutu of Chekiang in his high-handed action.\n\nThe observance of the 1885 agreement during a long period of years was one of the acts which reflected credit upon the late Manchu Government, and which encouraged His Majesty's Government to enter into the 1902 treaty for the abolition of li-kin and the increase of the tariff duties. The announcement that the Government of the republic formally arrogates to itself the right to treat foreign goods in Chinese hands in the interior as it pleases, irrespective of treaty obligations, will, it is feared, be received with grave disappointment by His Majesty's Government, who are not likely to see in this latest phase of the opium controversy a favourable indication for the settlement of tariff revision.\n\nIn conclusion, Sir John Jordan begs to renew his demand for the payment of the claim which he presented in his memorandum of the 9th May on behalf of the British merchants interested in the nine chests of opium wrongfully seized at Chiang-t'ou in Chekiang.\n\nPeking, May 30, 1912.\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum communicated to the Wai-chiao Pu by Sir J. Jordan.\n\nHIS Majesty's Minister has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the Wai-chiao Pu's memorandum of the 24th instant, requesting details as to the circumstances of the restrictions imposed on the foreign opium trade at Canton.\n\nThe telegraphic report from His Majesty's consul-general at Canton stated that a proposal had been made by the Canton authorities to close all prepared opium shops at the end of the present year, and that the opium dealers had protested against this proposal. As soon as the full report from the consul-general is received, His Majesty's Minister will communicate further with the Wai-chiao Pu. In the meantime, it is his duty to point out that such a proposal is at variance with the agreement of the 8th May, 1911, which was concluded with the express object of gradually diminishing the export of opium from India to China and suppressing the growth of opium in China, inasmuch as the sudden closing of the prepared opium shops would be equivalent in effect to the total prohibition of the import of Indian opium.\n\nHis Majesty's Minister is obliged to repeat his warning that if the Central Government cannot succeed in imposing their will on the provinces in this matter, and preventing the issue of all kinds of local regulations which contravene the settled policy agreed upon between the two Governments, they run a serious risk of forfeiting the assistance which has hitherto been so freely, and under the Manchu régime so successfully, accorded to them by His Majesty's Government in their endeavours to suppress opium.\n\nAs regards the enquiry in the memorandum under acknowledgment as to the names of the places in Szechuan and Shansi where the poppy is being recultivated, His Majesty's Minister begs to inform the Wai-chiao Pu that the evidence on which he based his former statement was derived mainly from the reports of missionaries travelling through, or resident in the provinces mentioned. In Szechuan it is admitted that the military authorities have made efforts to prohibit the cultivation of opium, but the local officials have in many places been unwilling or unable to enforce the proclamations. In the Chengtu press there are several allusions to the sale in open...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 440932, "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": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 268, "title": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "## 38. Having obtained agreement on these important points, we introduced a series of resolutions at the seventh, eighth, and ninth conference sessions. These resolutions were prefaced by a speech by Sir Cecil Clementi Smith (seventh session), in which he pointed out that the proposals put were in effect a carrying out of the policy indicated in regard to morphine and other derivatives of opium in No. 5 of the resolutions of the Shanghai Commission. The British Government regarded this matter as so important that they decided not to take part in the conference unless the other Powers also accepted its special urgency. Great Britain had already taken energetic steps to aid China in the gigantic task which she had undertaken in the matter of opium suppression, but such action would be of no avail if it merely led to the use of still more pernicious drugs. It was therefore necessary to adopt the most drastic measures possible in order to stamp out this serious vice, which was doing so much harm to the populations of the Far East, and also, he believed, to the United States.\n\nSir Cecil's speech was vigorously supported by Dr. Wu Lien-Teh, of the Chinese delegation, who gave a vivid picture of the harm done by morphine and cocaine in China, and later on Sir William Collins (eighth session), emphasised the divergences between the small quantities of opium and morphine required for bona fide medical purposes and the relatively large amounts produced.\n\nAt the ninth session again, Mr. Max Müller, speaking with special reference to the subject of restrictions on exportation, laid stress on the necessity for obtaining international co-operation, and pointed out how desirable it was that there should be a unanimous agreement on this point, with which object the British delegation had been willing to drop certain proposals which had appeared to it to be desirable, but to which it could not expect to secure general assent.\n\n## 39. The British proposals, with some amendments which were usually of a purely verbal character, were carried unanimously, and they formed the basis of articles 9-18 of the original draft of the convention, as reproduced below :-\n\n### CHAPITRE III - Opium médicinal, Morphine, Cocaïne, &c.\n\n#### Définitions\n- Par \"opium médicinal\" on entend: L'opium brut qui a été chauffé à 60 degrés centigrades, en poudre ou granulé, mélangé, s'il est nécessaire, avec des matières neutres et ne contenant pas moins de 10 pour cent de morphine.\n- Par \"morphine\" on entend: Le principal alcaloide de l'opium, ayant la formule chimique C17H19NO3.\n- Par \"cocaïne\" on entend: Le principal alcaloïde des feuilles de l'Erythroxylon coca, ayant la formule C17H21NO4.\n- Par \"héroïne\" on entend: La diacetyl-morphine, ayant la formule C21H23NO5.\n- Par \"codéïne\" on entend: Un autre alcaloide de l'opium, la méthyl-morphine, ayant la formule C18H21NO3.\n\n| Article | Text |\n|---------|------|\n| **ARTICLE 9** | Les Puissances contractantes édicteront des lois ou des règlements sur la pharmacie de façon à limiter la fabrication, la vente et l'emploi de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs aux seuls usages médicaux et légitimes, à moins que des lois existantes n'aient déjà réglé la matière.

It has been proved that, by the use of the colour-screen, negatives can be produced giving the sensations of the three primary colours, and these can be combined to leave a fairly harmonious picture; but it has been well stated that the results obtained by superposed pigmented bichromated gelatine (successively yellow, red, and blue), printed from colour-selection negatives at very uncertain and often far from satisfactory.\n\nOne of the chief features which distinguish the new polychromide process, patented by Mr. Acon Hamburger, of the Dover Street Studios, from many others is the use of a mechanism which enables the three plates to be taken simultaneously at a single exposure. In order to overcome certain difficulties inherent in this principle, Hamburger employs both reflection and refraction, and he has succeeded in so balancing the intensities of each that the perfect colour-stone rendering is obtained. A scale of shades of the standard colours has been prepared, in which the yellow inclines slightly to orange, the red to crimson, and the blue to green; that is to say, in lieu of being true primaries, the tints are in each case somewhere merged the one into the other. These shades are standardized, so that by means of the special developer used in the camera and the sensitized printing paper, with the above standard tints, any photographer should be able to attain accurate results. Two plates not on three are employed, each is sensitized to photograph one colour only.\n\nThe plate and the film are put together into one slide, with the emulsions in contact, the film thus serving the purpose of screening the plate. A print is made from the blue negative upon a rapid gelatine paper, which is turned into the yellow image. Prints in gelatine containing double salts are prepared from the other two negatives and transferred to a temporary support of glass. They are then superposed on the original yellow print by stripping. Though so far Mr. Hamburger has worked only by the aid of artificial flashlight, using a special compound to impart the requisite active properties, he does not anticipate obstacles in adapting the process to ordinary daylight. The camera takes the three pictures through a single lens and a single shutter, and it is found possible to have the register of the pictures perfectly accurate. The success of this process appears to depend upon the skill with which the spectrum has been split up, so that there is either no gap nor overlap, and therefore no colour is either lost or doubled. Specimens of the results yielded by the new process include not only serious portraits, in which the delicate flesh tints, the hair, and the minute details on the costume of the sitters are reproduced in complete harmony and in true colours, but also copies of paintings by the Old Masters in which the values due to low tone and false tints are successfully overcome.\n\n## NEWS OF THE WORLD\n\n[Telegrams from London]\n\n**The King of Greece**\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens wires that an eye-witness of the scene said that the King was standing at the corner of Aghistas Street, which is near the Police Headquarters, when an assassin rushed out of a hiding place and drew a big revolver from close quarters at His Majesty.\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, drew his revolver, whereupon the assassin turned round and fired twice upon the Colonel.\n\nTwo Cretan gendarmes then dashed up and arrested the assassin, who offered no resistance.\n\nColonel Frangoulis ran to the King, thinking His Majesty had not been hit, but found that he had fastened to the ground and was only half conscious.\n\nColonel Frangoulis raised the King in his arms, but His Majesty did not utter a word.\n\nSome notes and cartridges were found on the assassin.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says the man refuses to speak except to say, \"I will speak in the presence of the King.\"\n\n**King George V**\n\nThe King, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, visited Queen Mary at Marlborough House.\n\nThe outrage has aroused worldwide condolences and universal expressions of horror.\n\nA dispatch from Salonika to \"The Times\" regarding the assassination of the King of Greece says the King was in the habit of walking out every afternoon with a single servant, refusing requests made by his advisers to permit the presence of guards.\n\nYesterday, he was talking happily of the war and the successes of the Greek army as a long delayed triumph to his reign and said: \"Tomorrow I pay a final visit to the Dreadnought Goeben. It is with happiness and contentment that a German battleship should honour the Greek King at Salonika.\" These proved to be His Majesty's last words, for at that moment the assassin...\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, seized the hands of the assassin, which was poised for a second shot. Covering his Royal master with his body, Colonel Frangoulis grabbed the assailant by the throat and held him fast till soldiers came to his aid.\n\nThe English public are profoundly affected by the tragedy, which is an additional bereavement in Queen Alexandra's family. There were many references to the tragedy by public men at meetings held yesterday, and last night, wide pages of the papers were devoted to tributes.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says that all Greece is grief-stricken. The Prince George and others gently broke the news to the Queen, who fainted several times.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens also reports that it appears that the assassin is weak-minded, and a victim of alcohol. He is a native of Greece. He was twice dismissed from a school where he was employed as an attendant and he petitioned the King, who referred the matter to the proper quarter, which rejected the petition.\n\n## British Affairs\n\nIn introducing the Army Estimates in the House of Commons, Col. Seely, Minister of War, dwelt on the extraordinary apprehension regarding aviation. He pointed out that the officers' never allowed performances to be published, and consequently remarkable achievements went unnoticed.\n\nHe affirmed that they did not possess any Zeppelins because they were not required.\n\nIt was decided to have some transportable dirigibles, and they would also possess 14 aeroplanes by May. Publicity were obviously marked for an expeditionary remount, and they could not reinforce the Egyptian garrison or the Indian troops. They had obtained a type of aeroplane superior to that of any nation. The difficulty was in regard to the engine, as he was offering a prize in this connection with the promise of a large purchase.\n\nThe Minister, Mr. H. Samuel (Postmaster General) and Sir Rufus Isaacs (Attorney General) obtained judgment with costs against the French newspaper \"La Muflin\" for libel in connection with statements published relating to the Marconi affair. The newspaper admitted the statements to be false and apologized.\n\nCounsel for the defence unreservedly accepted the denials of the Ministers that they were in any way concerned with dealings in Marconi shares.\n\nDelous Wattoit, Unionist Free Trader, has been returned to Parliament for the Kendal Division. The polling was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Col. Weston (U.) | 3,241 |\n| Mr. Somervell (C) | 1,680 |\n| | 581 |\n\nUnionist Majority\n\nMr. Bone, in addressing the members of the Manchester Unionist Association, said that Kendal, in electing Colonel Weston, who refused to support the policy announced by the Party leaders, really voted no confidence in the late Government. If the party refused to act unitedly and would act following the leader, it was his duty to give place to another; and he would perform that duty if circumstances arose.\n\nThe result of the Houghton-le-Spring by-election was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Wing (L) | 930 |\n| Mr. Richardson (C) | 4,807 |\n| Mr. Modles (L) | 4,185 |\n\nThe motion by Mr. Harold Smith for a reduction of the Home Office vote was defeated by 224 votes to 100.\n\nThe two Irish prisoners who had been sentenced for five days in Cold Bath Fields prison and to whom shamrocks were sent down on St. Patrick's Day have been rescued.\n\nFrom Port Said, it is reported that the steamer \"Melen\" has shipped £50,000 in gold for Singapore.\n\n## Affairs in China\n\nThere is much published in the Russian press regarding impending war between Russia and China. This is partly based on reported Chinese preparations for an advance on Urga, in defiance of Russia.\n\nIt is announced from St. Petersburg that M.

In this case, the Kiangsi authorities attempted to defend the seizure on the ground that the merchants conveying the opium had smuggled munitions of war into the province.\n\nIn his memorandum of the 23rd September last, Sir John Jordan has already pointed out that, whether or no the alleged carriage of arms be an offence, no breach of treaty has been committed or proved in respect of the import of Indian opium.\n\nHe is compelled, therefore, to renew his demand for the immediate release of the Indian opium, the seizure of which, in each and all of the five cases referred to above, constitutes a flagrant breach of China's treaty obligations to Great Britain.\n\nPeking, November 30, 1912.\n\n## Memorandum communicated to Sir J. Jordan by Wai-chiao Pu\n\nOn receipt of the memoranda from His Majesty's Minister of the 24th September and 30th November of last year concerning five cases of detention of Indian opium in Kiangsi, the Wai-chiao Pu duly telegraphed to the tutu to take suitable action. They have now received the following reply:\n\n\"On the 27th September, on receipt of the telegram enquiring as to the seizure of travelling merchants' smuggled opium, it was passed on at once to the commissioner for internal affairs to call for reports. In the Yüeh Yü case, Ch'en Chih, prefect of Kanchow, reported on the 30th September that Huang Tun-fu's (the Yüeh Yü firm) original twenty-six cases of opium had been restored to the dealer, who had been furnished with a permit for its return to Kuangtung. In the Jên Chi case at Kiukiang, the Tê-Hua magistrate, Mêng Kuang-ch'uan, reported on the 27th November that the trial was over and the opium had been released.\n\nShêng Sheng Ho case. On the 11th instant [presumably the 11th December], Wang Nien-tsi, Nanchang district magistrate, reported that the trial was over and the opium had been released. Eight packages of smuggled opium detained by the Kiukiang station Li-kin office. Native opium was included in this consignment, the whole of which was therefore seized. It has now been forwarded by the Li-kin office to the finance commissioner, who has sent it on to the commissioner for internal affairs to deal with.\n\nSixty packages of Malwa opium, property of the Ts'ai Cheng firm, seized by the district magistrate of Ch'ang-ning. Instructions are now being sent to conclude the trial of this case according to the regulations.\n\n\"I have the honour to observe, however, that many of the opium importers smuggle in arms and ammunition with their consignments, and constantly have the audacity to open fire on parties approaching to effect their arrest, in total defiance of all laws. I am instructing the local authorities to punish them with the utmost severity.\n\nI have the honour to submit for information this report on the seizure of smuggled opium.\"\n\nThe Wai-chiao Pu would point out that, in all five cases of the seizure of Indian opium in the province, the object has been to regulate and not to impose restrictions on the trade in the Indian drug, and as the several trials have been concluded and either the opium has been released or some other suitable action is being taken, all the above cases would seem to admit of conclusion at an early date.\n\nPeking, January 10, 1913.\n\n## Memorandum communicated to Wai-chiao Pu by Sir J. Jordan\n\nSir John Jordan has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the memorandum from the Wai-chiao Pu of the 10th January concerning five cases of detention of Indian opium in Kiangsi.\n\nSir John Jordan has now received despatches from His Majesty's consul at Kiukiang referring to these five cases:\n\n| Case | Status |\n| --- | --- |\n| Yüeh Yü case | The consul has no information at present whether the facts stated by the tutu are correct, but is making enquiries. |\n| Jên Chi case | The opium has been restored to its owner. |\n| Shêng Sheng Ho case | The consul has been informed by the Opium Merchants' Association that the opium has not yet been released. |\n| Kiukiang Station Li-kin Office case | The tutu has declared that native opium was included in this consignment of eight packages, the whole of which was therefore seized. The consul reports that the merchants concerned have always maintained that these eight packages were unbroken packages, bearing intact customs' labels, so that it was impossible that native opium could have been included therein. |\n| T'ai Cheng case | In regard to the sixty packages of Malwa opium seized by the district magistrate of Ch'ang-ning, His Majesty's consul at Swatow communicated the information that the opium in question had been sold, but that the officials refused to hand over the proceeds to the Ts'ai Cheng firm, the owners of the opium. His Majesty's consul at Kiukiang states that, on making official enquiries as to the disposal of the proceeds realised by the sale, the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs at Nanch'ang had replied on the 16th January that he knew nothing of the circumstances. |\n\nSir John Jordan will communicate further with the Wai-chiao Pu on receiving the result of the consul's enquiries in the Yüeh Yü case.\n\nPage 367", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445304, "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": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 378, "title": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "## Opium Suppression in Hunan\n\n### Cultivation of Poppy\n\nMr. Jewett, a Wesleyan missionary in Ping-chiang, has furnished me with a very careful report on opium suppression in that district. He informed me that some valleys on the Kiangsi border had been planted with poppy. Some patches were also planted during the 8th and 9th moons (September to November) nearer the district city, but in this latter case, runners were sent out towards the end of November to destroy the plants, and did so. The consulate writer confirms the report of poppy being grown in the remoter parts of Kuei-yang-chou, also in Sang-chih-hsien, on the Hupei border (a wild and undeveloped district), and in Ch'ông-pu-hsien, on the Kwangsi border. He adds that in all notorious poppy-growing districts, exceptionally rigid suppressive measures have been adopted, but that in the remoter parts, it has so far been found impossible to put a stop to it entirely.\n\nThe following particulars have been gleaned from the native press. Poppy growing having been reported from Feng-huang-ting, a special deputy was dispatched thither, and a whole battalion of troops was detailed to escort him in that wild and somewhat lawless region. Deputies attended by troops have also been sent to the neighbouring districts of Chien-chou-t'ing and Yung-sui-t'ing and to the Miao districts, hitherto great centres of poppy growing. Poppy growing, alleged to be due to the magistrate's apathy, is also reported from Ch'i-yang-hsien, where an enquiry is to be held. In Siangyin, large quantities of poppy are said to have been destroyed, while in Lu-ch'i-hsien, poppy growing is said to flourish owing to the neglect of the magistrate and the gentry even to promulgate the regulations, much less to enforce them. Trouble is said to have arisen owing to the uprooting of poppy in Kuei-yang-chou, but I have no details. In Chiên-chou-fu, too, a good deal of poppy was sown, and when a deputy proceeded thither to destroy the crop, the people resisted him by armed force and compelled him to retire to the district city. Poppy growing is also reported from Yung-shun-fu, where the deputy has been charged with slackness in suppressing it, from Ling-hsien, and from the remoter parts of Puo-ch'ing-fu. Finally, in Chên-chou (which must not be confounded with Chiên-chou-fu), the inhabitants of some villages are said to have made extensive preparations for resistance to the destruction of the poppy, and troops have been ordered to the spot.\n\n### Sale and Consumption of Opium\n\nAs regards the sale and consumption of the drug in Changsha, the stringent repressive measures now enforced have once more driven the traffic underground. It is no longer carried on openly, and divans are a thing of the past. Nevertheless, the consulate writer assures me that considerable quantities of opium are smuggled into Hunan by the crews and the passengers of the steam-launches running hither; hoards of opium, too, are still stored in secret places in the city, but only those well known to and implicitly trusted by the owners can purchase any, and a great deal of smoking goes on in the strictest privacy. The native press is also responsible for the statement that large quantities of opium have been smuggled to the Siang River valley from the poppy-growing districts in the west of the province.\n\nThe above information is largely corroborated by Mr. Warren, who has made the most searching enquiries during the past quarter. He states that the watch now kept by the authorities is so strict, and the risk consequently involved is so great, that, although there is plenty of opium in Shanghai, the price has more than doubled. Only those well known to be genuine smokers can obtain any; others will be blandly assured that the traffic has been entirely suppressed.\n\nIn spite of the secrecy maintained, the police, reinforced by a special band of detectives, have nevertheless succeeded in effecting a number of arrests and seizures and obtaining numerous convictions. During the month of November, in Changsha alone, in addition to those who suffered the death penalty, no fewer than 147 smokers were dealt with, apart from those guilty of other offences against the opium regulations. \n| Category | Number |\n| --------------- | ------ |\n| Fined | 58 |\n| Sent to Red Cross hospital for treatment | 45 |\n| Detained for further examination | 9 |\n| Sentenced to hard labour | 16 |\n| Sentenced to simple imprisonment | 19 |\n\nThese figures were furnished to Mr. Warren by the **General Opium Suppression Bureau**.\n\nMany boards of opium have also been seized by the police—in fact, the native press reports that a corps of fifty detectives has been organised, whose special duty it is to search out these hoards in and around the city. A number of female detectives and searchers have also been engaged to go from house to house exploring the women's quarters, and to search the women themselves, many of whom conceal opium on their persons and distribute it daily to smokers.\n\nThe **General Opium Suppression Bureau** recently published a statement of the fines inflicted in Changsha for breaches of the opium regulations. Between the 10th October, i.e., the 1st day of the 9th moon, the date originally fixed for total prohibition, and the 31st December, the individuals fined numbered 187, the fines amounting to 2,098 taels, 4,718 dollars, and 3,086 tiao, or, roughly, a total of 10,089 dollars.\n\nAs stated in my last opium report, the manufacture of anti-opium remedies was taken by the authorities into their own hands after the end of the 8th moon (9th October); the sale thereof was to be discontinued altogether at the end of the lunar year (5th February). It seems probable, however, that the term will have to be extended. Since the 10th October, the sale has been restricted to those holding special certificates from the **Opium Suppression Bureau**; but the unlicensed sales seem to have been very large. The unlicensed manufacture by private persons of pills with an admixture of morphia is also said to have been very prevalent.\n\n### Situation in the Rest of the Province\n\nThe state of affairs in the rest of the province seems to be very similar to that prevailing in Changsha. Cases of the arrest and punishment of offenders are chronicled daily in the native press, and while the regulations are enforced with varying degrees of severity, and results are unequal in the different districts, suppressive measures have, on the whole, been carried out very rigorously. Here again, however, so the consulate writer states, the complaint is heard that while the poor are proceeded against with the utmost severity, the rich enjoy comparative—in some cases complete—immunity. Charges of opium-smoking have even been brought against district magistrates, members of district councils, and other prominent persons.\n\nMr. Jowett, of the Wesleyan Mission in Ping-chiang, informs me that stern and vigorous measures are being taken to stamp out the trade in the district; that opium cannot be bought openly nor are any divans to be seen; that old opium-smokers are in sore distress; and that the trade in anti-opium medicines has increased tremendously. At the same time, he has been informed by a number of people that the drug can be procured by those who are ready to pay for it. On the other hand, the police commissioner, the opium deputy, and the magistrate, have all assured him that the trade is absolutely finished, and the last-named official implored him to send me a favourable report, but Mr. Jowett attaches little or no value to official assurances. He adds that opium can be, and is said to be, procured by all and sundry just across the Kiangsi border.\n\nIndeed, the traffic in opium seems to flourish in most border districts, where offenders can evade jurisdiction by moving across the boundary. Complaints have been heard, in especial from Li-chou and Lin-hsiang-hsien, where the suppressive measures have been largely nullified by smokers obtaining supplies from the adjoining province of Hupei. The governor has been in communication on this subject with the governors of all the provinces bordering on Hunan, and has requested their co-operation in putting down this inter-provincial traffic.\n\n### Resistance to Suppressive Measures\n\nInstances of resistance to suppressive measures have still to be chronicled. I have already mentioned a few in my remarks about poppy cultivation, and have, in addition, culled the following from the native press — \n\nIn a village in I-yang-hsien, where smoking still prevailed, the attempt to enforce prohibition led to a raid on the police station, which was wrecked; the head of the police fled, and applied for troops to quell the disturbance.\n\nThe police, when seizing a quantity of opium-smoking paraphernalia in a village in the Siangyin district, were attacked by a band of several hundred men and compelled to retreat. They eventually fired, wounding one man, when the mob smashed up the police station. The opium deputy fled, and troops had to be dispatched to the spot.\n\nIn Sang-chih-hsien, the attempted arrest of a notable who opposed the opium deputy led to a riot, in which the man who had informed against him was nearly beaten to death.\n\n### Conclusion\n\nI cannot sum up the net result of my enquiries into opium suppression in Hunan during the December quarter better than in the words of Mr. Jowett, who writes:- \n\"I must say that it would be as unwise to state that the opium is stamped out as it would be untrue to say that vigorous measures are not being taken to end the trade. The utmost I can say is that there is an earnest, or at least a vigorous, movement afoot to end the trade, but I should not care to say that the trade is ended.\"\n\nI should add that these remarks are no less true of poppy cultivation than of the sale and consumption of the drug.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**BERTRAM GILES**\n\nPage 377", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445545, "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": "CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "## \n\nI left Tien-tsin-Pukou Railway on the 24th April, and the investigation in Anhui commenced from this date. I returned to Peking from Pengpu on the 18th May.\n\nI had originally planned to proceed westward from Pengpu, and to visit the districts of Huai-yuan, Po-chou, Ying-chou, and Shou-chou, and to make for Wuhu via Wu-wei. These districts, according to information supplied by His Majesty's consul at Wuhu, missionaries and others, were indicated as being under opium cultivation this year.\n\nA visit to Huai-yuan, however, convinced me that the crops in the north were backward for the time of the year. I decided to proceed by rail and steamer to Wuhu, where I arrived on the 27th April, and work northwards from that place.\n\nThe province of Anhui is divisible into three distinct regions :--\n1. The country south of the River Yang-tsze;\n2. The area between the Yang-tsze and the Huai Rivers;\n3. The part north of the Huai River.\n\n1. As regards the first of these three divisions, the information received from His Majesty's consul and missionaries appeared to place beyond question the fact that opium cultivation had practically ceased. My own enquiries at Wuhu confirmed this information.\n\n2. In the second division, cultivation had been reported in the Wu-wei district, along the northern shores of Lake Chao, in the Liu-an and Shou-chou districts, and along the southern banks of the Huai River.\n\n3. In the region north of the Huai River poppy had been indicated as having been planted in the districts of Po-chou and Ying-chou.\n\nI left Wuhu on the 1st May for the district city of Ch'ao-hsien, 42 miles distant, in a motor launch kindly placed at my disposal by the Asiatic Petroleum Company. From trustworthy information it appeared that there were no signs of poppy in the district of Wu-wei. The magistrates of the Wu-wei and Ch'ao-hsien had made a joint tour of investigation accompanied by a large force of soldiers early in April, and again three days before my arrival. Some poppy fields belonging to a military official at the provincial capital were included among those ploughed up. The town of Ch'ao-hsien lies at the entrance of the large lake, 125 miles in circumference, known as Chao-hu. From information supplied to the legation by His Majesty's consul at Wuhu, it appeared that the northern shores of this lake had been planted with poppy. The difficulty of approach to the northern bank owing to shallow water and the impossibility of observing the cultivation on land through screens of high reeds made the further journey by boat impracticable. I set out from Ch'ao-hsien, therefore, along a small road running for the first 20 miles in close proximity to the north of the lake. In this direction the lake is bordered by high hills from which a comprehensive view of the lake and shores could be obtained. I examined the countryside constantly and carefully with powerful field-glasses but could detect no signs of growing poppy. I spent the first night at the house of a Chinese merchant to whom I had received a letter of introduction. He is a native of the province and a shrewd business man well acquainted with local affairs. He told me that some but not much poppy had been growing in Wu-wei and Ch'ao-hsien, which had been cleared in the recent itineraries made by the magistrates.\n\nThe unpaved road, still saturated and cut up by the rains of the preceding week, ran between low hills to Lü-chow. This town is one of considerable importance in this region, being in direct water communication with the Yang-tsze, and a distributing centre for a very large part of the area between the Yang-tsze and Huai Rivers. There is a good deal of secret opium smoking still going on in the town in spite of an energetic crusade by the magistrate. Still, the smoking has sensibly diminished, and the foreign missionary doctor estimated that it had decreased by one-half. The cases of attempted suicide by opium brought to the hospital average forty annually as against one hundred previously. This he accounted for partly by the actual decrease in the consumption, and partly by the greatly-enhanced price of the drug. Another missionary independently confirmed the doctor's estimate of opium smoking, and added that it was still the practice for many of the gentry to smoke opium at dinners with intimate friends. Opium is smuggled into Lu-chow from the Yang-tsze, and three shops were pointed out to me where purchases could be made by regular customers.\n\nBetween Lü-chow and Liu-an I came across traces of a few poppy fields ploughed up within the preceding two or three days. At the latter place I received very definite information from two missionaries stationed at Ying-chow-fu, writing independently of one another, which satisfied me that the poppy in that district and the surrounding districts had been uprooted. The work of eradication appears to have commenced at the end of February, and to have been continued with great energy and success during April by the magistrates and deputies in person. One of my informants had reported earlier \"a tremendous sowing\" at the beginning of the season. In the district of Ying-shan an armed conflict appears to have taken place between the growers and the soldiers; seventy of the former were reported to have been killed.\n\nA missionary, writing from Po-chou, stated that most searching efforts had been made by the officials to find and destroy all the poppy planted in the district. He himself had been out in the countryside a good deal, and had not seen a single plant.\n\nAs the time at my disposal was limited this information decided me not to visit Ying-chow and Po-chou, but to proceed at once into the districts of Shou-chou, Huai-yuan, and Ting-yuan, examining en route the country between Lin-an and Ho-ch'iu.\n\nThis sparsely populated region is extraordinarily scarce in villages and hamlets, and the homesteads are widely scattered among the fir coppices on the hills, the wheat-fields of the plains, and the belts of tall reeds extending along the shores of the lakes. Poppy was grown to some extent last season, but I doubt if any was even sown this season.\n\nAt Ho-ch'iu a missionary who had been resident there for twenty-four years told me that the magistrate had been out quite recently on a tour of rigorous inspection, and had uprooted the poppy growing along the banks of the Huai River in his district. He was of opinion that the countryside was clear of poppy.\n\nI travelled on foot for some miles along the shores of the east lake, between Ho-ch'iu and Cheng-yang-kuan, where poppy was reported to be growing. There were no standing plants, although many fields bore the appearance of having been lately ploughed up in the midst of flourishing crops of wheat, rye, and barley. From Cheng-yang-kuan, the most important town in Northern Anhui, I proceeded by boat to Shou-chou. There were no signs of poppy fields along the river banks, although a month before the report of their existence was widely current.\n\nThe Huai River is infested with pirates in many parts, and my boat was followed during the night by a junk containing seven of these undesirables. They were attacked the next morning, in broad daylight, by a small wooden gunboat, with a crew of at least double that number. The pirates bolted across country unharmed, although it would have been an easy matter to have shot them down. The low hills and swamps on the south bank are notorious as robber haunts. The most widely known is the large village of Pai-lu-ch'iao, or White Deer Bridge, at the junction of the three districts of Huai-yuan, Shou-chou, and Ting-yuan. The population is about 5,000, and the villagers as villainous a gang of cut-throats as it had been my lot to see in Anhui. The countryside is full of disbanded soldiers, and opium inspection had hitherto been shunned in these parts. Had it not been for the imperative commands of the tutu, consequent on my visit to Anhui, the magistrates would have left this Alsatia alone; but the three magistrates traversed the entire area with several hundred soldiers, and destroyed all vestiges of poppy. A week before my arrival there one of the guards of an opium inspector had been seriously wounded at a small village between Pai-lu-ch'iao and the river. The tutu ordered troops to destroy the village. Three hundred men, with two mountain guns and Maxims, reached Le-ho, on the south bank, and prepared to attack at daybreak. In the meantime, the magistrates of Shou-chou and Ting-yuan were occupying Pai-lu-ch'iao with about 300 men. Owing to the mediation of the magistrate of Huai-yuan and the local gentry the village was spared.\n\nFrom Pai-lu-ch'iao I had intended to visit Ping-ho-shan, on the north bank, at the junction of the three districts of Huai-yuan, Meng-chen, and Feng-tai. Poppy fields had been seen there by a missionary two months before, but a visit the previous week showed that they had been destroyed. I did not, therefore, visit Ping-ho-shan, but returned from Huai-yuan to Pengpu, on the Tien-tsin-Pukou Railway.\n\nDuring my stay of twenty-three days in the province, rain fell on eleven days and on eight of these heavily. The overland journey was at times trying on account of the moist heat, the bad roads, execrable inn accommodation and the impossibility of obtaining any supplies except rice and flour. The discomforts, however, would have been considerably greater had it not been for the efforts of the local officials and frequently the local gentry also. In spite of the unpopularity of my mission, which had been widely published, I found the people of this province, reputed to be so anti-foreign, uniformly respectful and even friendly. Attended by a single coolie, I often separated myself from the rest of the party. I cannot recollect a single unpleasant incident, although I can recall many unexpected little attentions from ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 446651, "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": "CO129-408 - Public Offices & Others - 1913", "page_number": 186, "title": "CO129-408 - Public Offices & Others - 1913", "content_text": "MI \n\n175 \n\n! \n\nI \n\narvane of bas „Jostreq of Viznesdən aơ IIN noliw nilsteb \n\n=: armsion and to made tɗo add to moiiszifast silt \n\nexam of Thornsavol, add to? greugasan ad IDW JI \n\nesit to odže sad saltsbnat baðr CLARUSSON SA \n\njnorang eid mor? a (diansoos noždavranan basoĘS TĘ, \n\n- Yawigid olidug \n\nJos me of Jasminevol srið rot viserena od LLkw #I \n\nb) GOGI 52 10 all ĐẤT TRONG 10 vụ : innha \n\nne si po tow to może żvorg wat NOŽJETMEOT \n\n„BALOR Brd to studas?

Two bands playing at opposite ends of the ample grounds. A white canopy, and under it hundreds of people listening to a lively vaudeville troupe. Another larger tent, and here tea and sandwiches for the famishing, as the afternoon wears along. Halfway down the spacious lawn, a rectangle is marked out with ropes. The pistol cracks, and a tug-of-war is on. God is on the side of the heaviest contestants this day. Then as the afternoon light shoots long rays across the contented people, and the shadow of a short man becomes titanic and menacing, the call is to the platform, and all the chattering host masses itself in front of the speaker's table.\n\nA little man with gray hair and gray mustache, worn face, harassed lines between the eyes, and kindliness in the eyes, stands up squarely, and speaks emphatically. He is listened to rapturously, applauded mightily. That is Lloyd George, of England, at a Liberal fête.\n\nThis commonplace-looking man has torn the social structure of England into shreds. He has given the law-making power to elected persons instead of to hereditary lords. He is doing away with one rich man having a half dozen votes. He is breaking up the vast landed estates, held idle for the rearing of partridges, pheasant, and deer. He has insured a nation, and given pensions to the aged.\n\nThe two storm centers of the English-speaking world are Theodore Roosevelt and David Lloyd George. They are both born, bred, and perfected fighters. They have a jutting out of the lower lip and a smashing gesture of the arm and hand, which come from beating back opposition. They fire up into repartee and energy when the going is hard. They are at their fighting best under a rain of missiles and abuse. They came into a tame, sure world hoping to find it a scene of action and a continuing adventure.\n\nTheir lives have been a series of outbreaks. Most good men are like a firecracker. They have one loud noise in them, and then they disintegrate into silence. But these men carry explosive force which can repeat its violent performances. As quickly as their vitality is quenched at one point, it breaks loose with flame and speed at another point, and the end is not yet. They each contain a grain or two of spiritual radium, a demonic force which manifests itself again and again without exhausting its energy. They are vastly popular because they are tonic. They prove to us that things can be changed, that there is a lot in life besides routine and monotony.--\"Popular Magazine.\"\n\n### Paris Women Adopt Wounded Soldiers\n\nSociety Maids And Matrons Who Are Not Caring For At Least One Men Are Outcasts\n\nLondon, November 2.-Paris has hit upon a new greeting. When one woman meets another in the street she does not ask any of the inane questions that heretofore had such a great vogue. She straightaway gets down to business and asks: \"Have you adopted a wounded soldier?\" If the reply is in the affirmative the women feel themselves social and moral equals. But if it should happen to be in the negative then the poor neglectful culprit is an outcast of the worst kind.\n\nSeriously speaking this habit of \"adopting\" wounded soldiers has become widespread among wealthy society women here. Much of it is done through the Military Hospital of Val de Grace. After securing the necessary permit from the military authorities, these women pay a visit to the great wards where hundreds of the wounded soldiers lie mending.\n\nThey chat and laugh with the men until they come upon one whose personality is especially pleasing or whose circumstances are especially appealing. Arrangements are soon made by which the soldier is transferred to the care and responsibility of the interested woman.\n\n### Tracing It Back\n\nThe dentist says it's all right to tell the story, but that his name must not be used.\n\nO'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nJapan has begun installation of large exhibits in the Palaces of Food Products, Education and Liberal Arts at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.

After repeated visits of those regions in Northern France which have been chastised hardest by the fury of the war, I feel compelled to contradict some of the current ideas respecting combatants and non-combatants on the side of the Allies. The spirit of the corps of officers is undoubtedly good. And if it had only depended on them, many things would have been omitted which are now remembered against the French and English. But the spirit of the troops is so much worse, and their officers have to suffer more from that spirit than they dare confess. It is the spirit of the people which any unbiased observer must condemn. He who cares may claim attenuating circumstances for the people. It has become the victim of \"an unbridled press which is guided by criminal instincts.\" This press must be considered the intellectual cause of all the atrocities committed on French soil, not only against German wounded and prisoners, but also against Frenchmen as well and which have been committed against these latter in far greater number than is generally known.\n\nA government order of August 1st too carelessly opened the prisons. Human material was wanted. Whoever cared to become a soldier was welcome, no matter how much there was against him. I remember that even in pro-French Italian papers I was in Nice at the time that order made the most unfavorable impression. No one more than the officers deplores the perfectly unlimited admission of criminal elements to the army service. At Air on the Lys I saw a colonel in complete despair. He had, that morning, condemned to death four men of his artillery regiment for \"cowardice\" before the enemy and the plundering of their fallen comrades. In the afternoon further cases of criminal actions were reported to him from a section in an advanced post. I heard that the majority of the troops of this regiment were from the South of France, men, who in the North are not considered good material. The Italian inhabitants of Southern France have been accused of being no heroes. But I believe that Paris supplies far worse elements. I base these remarks upon the statements of numerous officers who criticized the measures of their War Office in the severest manner and without reserve.\n\nIn France a scape-goat must always be found for any fault. As soon as the army fares ill, Monsieur Millerand will be the scape-goat. But the evil itself can not be eradicated any more. For necessity compels to put, without regard to physical and moral qualifications for the purpose, all and every one into the ranks who can possibly be used. In that way the righteous and unrighteous are mixed together; of course the spirit of the army deteriorates thereby.\n\nYou will surely have read in your home papers, how in France the fear of spies has become epidemic. That explains itself in great measure by the existence of the mentioned bad elements in the army. A single man may be as brave, as capable of enthusiasm as possible. But when he believes that he must demonstrate to the comrade beside him, who, before the outbreak of the war, was either sitting behind prison bars, or allowed himself to be put into the uniform from complete lack of work, feelings of contempt or of suspicion, such a state of mind cannot contribute to an increase of eagerness or gladness. In the last three weeks \"the cases of desertion, especially on the left wing, have increased greatly.\" In Noyon I met a cavalry picket riding after two dozen deserters. They asked me about the road. We talked a while and I learnt several things which are characteristic for the feelings of the piou-piou. \"Really it is a pity to waste the time with catching these fellows,\" the leader explained. \"It is done only for authority's and discipline's sake. It would have been much better not to give us such comrades.\" The pursuit of the deserters meets with the greatest obstacles, I was told further. They enter the first destroyed or deserted house they find, procure civilian clothes \"and then hush, they are gone!\" That would not be the worst. But in civilians' clothes they can rob, plunder, burn and assassinate and commit all sorts of highway robbery. There is no more protection in the lone and deserted villages. The gendarmerie is elsewhere, and so greatly occupied that for the criminals the golden harvest time has come. Believe me, Sir, the picket leader told me, many a one from that confounded Paris, where all this gang comes from, would never have thought of becoming a defender of his country, if he had not reasoned: This is an opportunity which will never return, to make hay. As long as we are in barracks in the open field, we are safe. But as soon as we come to a larger village with some ruined houses, we can be sure that we lose again several of the fellows who in civil life are not honest men. Rarely one alone deserts. Always entire gangs conspire to desert. Sometimes I almost believe that they did not make away in the beginning of the war 'with all the Apaches in Paris' and that we are afflicted with that plague which has become alike the terror of the army and the peaceable citizen, just as they were the terror of the Parisians.\n\nOf the work of the hyenas of the battlefield and the looters one can convince himself in every deserted village. Since it is out of the question that German or French armies break into houses whose owners have fled before the arrival of the troops, it can only be supposed that criminals do their wicked work, taking advantage of the situation. If by accident gendarmes come upon the scene, the burglars pretend, as I have been told repeatedly, to be the owners of the house themselves. If the gendarmes happen to know the owner of the house, they either submit to their fate, or pretend they have been sent by the owner to fetch one or the other object. Frequently they set undamaged houses, after having looted them, afire. In this manner many a solitary chateau, many a country-place, which had been spared by friend and foe alike, has found its end in dreadful devastation. The French government \"should keep a better eye on its criminals.\" But in order to keep the house-breakers and incendiaries under inspection, a much larger contingent of police and constabulary is necessary than France has, today, at its disposal. On our way back from Compiegne to Paris we have been stopped (Continued on page 141)\n\n### Advertisements\n\n| Name | Profession/Service | Contact |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **T. H.

The more westerly roads from Yunnan into Szechuan, i.e., from Tali and Tengyueh, can be left out of account as they lead into the March country. There are thus three points of strategic importance on the Upper Yang-tsze—Suifu, Luchow, and Chungking, being the Szechuan leads of the three main roads from Yunnan and Kueichow. At Suifu was a small garrison, which was reinforced on the outbreak of trouble by 2,000 troops from Chengtu; at Luchow was stationed a General Lin with a division of Szechuan troops of doubtful loyalty; and at Chungking was a garrison of Ch'en Yi's northern troops.\n\nOn the outbreak of civil war the Imperial forces at Suifu and Luchow were pushed southwards, the former entering Yunnan and advancing down the Chaotung road for 70 miles or so, and the latter being moved south to Yungning on the Weining road.\n\nThe Yunnan rebels advancing from Yunnan-fu by the Tungchuan-Chaotung road met and defeated the Szechuanese Imperialists from Suifu at Laoyatan about the 16th January, advanced and repulsed them again at Ampien about the 18th January, and occupied Suifu, the most important centre on the Yang-taze west of Chungking on the 20th January. It appears probable that General Wu and his Szechuanese at Suifu did not fight seriously, but withdrew or went over to the rebels. Meanwhile, at Yungning the attitude of General Liu and his 8,000 Szechuanese covering Luchow is most uncertain; the Chengtu authorities are doubtful about them, and the Yunnan-fu authorities claim to count on their support. Thus, of the two main roads leading from Yunnan to Szechuan, the rebels hold the Tungchuan-Chaotung-Suifu one throughout, and appear likely to be in possession of the Weining-Yungning-Luchow one shortly. General Tsai Ao, Commander-in-chief of the rebel forces, left Yünnan-fu for Weining on the 6th January, from which it seems probable that another rebel force will shortly debouch into Szechuan by this road and join hands with the wavering Szechuanese troops at Yungning and Luchow.\n\nAlthough the Yunnan rebels by acting promptly have seized Suifu, and possibly the whole of the Upper Yang-tsze as far down as Luchow, the campaign cannot yet be said to have seriously commenced, since the Government expeditionary force of northern troops has not yet had time to reach the scene of action. This expeditionary force consists of the 3rd Hupei Division (from Yochow) with some additional troops, amounting in all to about 10,000 men, under General Ts'ao Kun, followed by the 7th Division (from Peking) with additional mixed brigade, also totalling about 10,000 men under General Chang Yao. The 10th Division (from Peking) is also said to be moving as a reserve. These troops have got to be hauled up the Yang-tsze from Ichang in native boats, there being no steam navigation to speak of at this time of the year. The journey from Ichang to Chungking in a native boat takes at least three weeks. General Tsao Kun's troops (the 3rd Hupei Division) were passing through Ichang during the first half of January, and the main body cannot possibly get to Chungking before the end of the month or early February.\n\nIt is possible, therefore, that the Yunnan rebels may meet with further success on the Upper Yang-taze in the near future, since there is nothing to stop them but Szechuan troops, many of whom are a doubtful quantity. But the real test will not come till the Imperialist expeditionary force gets beyond Chungking. Then, according to the official plan, General Ts'ao Kun's 3rd Division, with his rear protected by the following 7th Division, will join hands with General Chen Yi's northern troops and attack Yunnan in earnest. Wholesale defections by the Szechuanese troops to the rebel side before General Ts'ao Kun gets up-river would completely change the whole outlook. The attitude of Kueichow is also of great importance in connection with the campaign, owing to its position on the flank of the expeditionary force rendering possible an attack on Chungking from Kueiyang by the Tsunyi main road.\n\nThe Yunnanese are good soldiers with a great reputation in Szechuan. In 1911 a Yünnanese army entered Szechuan by the Suifu route, ostensibly to fight the Imperialists, but in reality to levy contributions on the rich cities of southern Szechuan. Though vastly outnumbered, they did as they liked in the province for months, and only withdrew of their own accord after the declaration of the republic. It remains to be seen whether they will prove a match for the well-equipped northern troops. Similarly, the Kueichow army showed its worth vis-a-vis the Szechuanese when in occupied Chungking during the interprovincial fighting in the autumn of 1913. The Kueichow troops only withdrew of their own accord after negotiation. During the troubles of 1911, 1912, and 1913 there was always a tendency on the part of the authorities of Yünnan and Kueichow, both poor but warlike provinces, to regard the rich and peaceable Szechuanese as a legitimate field for their freebooting expeditions, and to aim at the incorporation of Szechuan with Yunnan and Kueichow to form a federated south-western Chinese State. Szechuan has, in the past, also shown strong separatist tendencies, and for geographical and other reasons has always been in much closer touch with Yunnan and Kueichow on the south than with Hupei, Shensi, and Kansu on the north.\n\nPeking, January 23, 1916.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Joint Despatch signed and sealed by the Military and Civil Governors to Consul-General Gough.** (Translation.)\n\nSir,\n\nThe Republic of China was duly recognised by all the friendly Powers, but the President, Yuan Shih-kai, in violation of the Constitution and his oath, has now taken advantage of the continuance of the European war to plan a rebellion and cast his eyes upon the Imperial dignity. His Majesty's Minister in Peking has more than once counselled and warned him, but in utter disregard of all sense of right he ruthlessly pursues his way. Consequently, the friendly Powers have abandoned him, and the Chinese people regard him as of no account.\n\nWe received our appointments from the Republican Government and only recognise loyalty and duty towards the republic. All the provinces have unitedly declared that they will uphold the republic and continue in that path.\n\nWe recall that Great Britain previously recognised the republic, and we feel assured that on this occasion the British Government, as well as yourself, will approve our purpose of safeguarding the republic and upholding the Constitution. It is, accordingly, our duty to formally notify you of our intentions in order to strengthen our good relations with your country.\n\nIt is now our duty to inform you, for communication to your Government and the British Minister at Peking, of the course we propose to follow with regard to the treaties, and of our earnest desire for cordial relations with Great Britain :-\n\n1. From the date of the declaration of independence all the treaties negotiated with the Manchu and Republican Governments, as well as the separate conventions regarding Burmah and Tonkin, to continue in force.\n2. The lives and property of all foreign officials, merchants, and missionaries residing or travelling within our sphere of influence to be afforded full protection, as provided by treaty. Compensation will be paid by us for any actual losses incurred; but losses incurred through proceeding, in despite of our warning, into the territory of the tribesmen or disturbed districts will not be included in this category.\n3. We request you to telegraph to the Government of Burmah asking that the civil and military officials on the frontier be instructed to co-operate, as before, with the military and civil officials of the Republic of Yunnan for the preservation of order on the frontier.\n4. The neutrality in the European war proclaimed by the Republican Government will be fully enforced in our sphere of influence.\n5. In future, important affairs will be dealt with directly by us; in other matters we request you to continue to negotiate with the Foreign Affairs Bureau of Yunnan.\n\n[Signatures and seals of Tang Chi-yao and Jen K'o-ch'eng, Military and Civil Governors, respectively.]\n\nYünnan-fu, December 29, 1915.\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n**Military and Civil Governors of Yunnan to Sir J.

Sir,\n\n20\n\nEnclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul Brown to Mr. Alston.\n\nKiukiang, May 8, 1917\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward herewith a report on a journey of investigation into the cultivation of the opium poppy in the province of Kiangsi jointly with officials appointed by the Chinese Government in accordance with article 4 of the Opium Agreement of 1911.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW. RUSSELL BROWN.\n\nEnclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\nReport on a Journey of Investigation into the Cultivation of the Opium Poppy in the Province of Kiangsi.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that Messrs. Chien Kuang-hsi and Huang Tao-hsiung, the Chinese delegates appointed by the Wai-chiao Pu and the Ministry of the Interior, reached Kiukiang on the 16th March, and left with me by rail on the 19th March for Southern Kiangsi via Nanchang and the River Kan. This route was selected as the most practicable in view of the information in the possession of the consulate, which showed that the cultivation of opium poppy had been completely eradicated in the plains and low-lying parts of the province, and that any opium which might exist would be found in remote places in the mountains. On this point Protestant and Catholic missionaries, native informants, and the local Chinese press were unanimous. The mountainous regions of Kanchou, Yü Tu, Hsing Kuo, Ningtu, and Ihuang in the south and south-east and the range of hills lying on the borders of Chien Chang, An, and Chingan in the north-west were generally regarded as suspicious localities, and I therefore determined to visit these districts in succession. Owing to the difference in climate between the north and south of the province, the poppy flowering three weeks earlier in the Kanchou region than in the An district, we directed our course first to the south.\n\nOur party, augmented by deputies despatched by the provincial administration and escorts of soldiers and police, left Nanchang early on the morning of the 21st March in seven junks, and were towed by steam launches up the Kan River to Wanan. Here on the 28th March we left the river and proceeded by chair to Kan Hsien (formerly Kan Chou), where we arrived on the 30th March.\n\nEnquiries were made by me at the Protestant and Catholic mission stations touched at en route from Nanchang, and I was everywhere informed that the rigorous measures of the magistrate and anti-opium officials had effectually suppressed opium-poppy cultivation in those districts.\n\nThe Protestant and Catholic missionaries at Kan Hsien were equally emphatic on this point, and assured me that it would be waste of time to visit the hills in that region. I accordingly pressed on to Yü Tu, which was reached on the 2nd April, after an exceedingly difficult two days' march.\n\nAs Yü Tu was one of the few districts in which opium poppy was known to have been grown in 1916, I determined to pay particular attention to this region, and after passing the district city, I left the road, climbed the most difficult part of the mountain range, and proceeded inland for a couple of hours' journey, looking with a pair of powerful field-glasses at the pockets of land lying between the hills. In this way I was able to satisfy myself beyond doubt that no opium poppy was under cultivation in an area of many square miles. I eventually regained the main road by a different route, and in the afternoon scaled the mountains to the south-west by a woodcutter's path. Here I spent some four hours in a careful inspection of the surrounding country, and returned convinced that no opium poppy was grown there, as I had been able to see the crops over an area of more than 12 square miles. The climbing in this part of the country was so difficult that only two officers and a few of the soldiers were able to accompany me. We reached the borders of Hsing Kuo district before turning back. I did not enter that district as I had received information at Kan Hsien that opium poppy had been eradicated in that region in 1916 after a severe fight between the troops and the people, in the course of which several persons had been killed and wounded and many houses burned.\n\n21\n\nOn the 5th April we arrived at Ningtu, where we were forced to rest for one day owing to the exhaustion of our party. Many of the soldiers were brought in in chairs, as they were quite unable to walk.\n\nAt Ningtu, Mr. and Mrs. Seipel, German missionaries in charge of the China Inland Mission station in that city, gave me a most cordial welcome, and assured us that the poppy was believed to be extinct in that region. The resident Chinese Catholic priest, however, supplied me with the name of one possible opium-poppy-growing locality, the Mi Shih Chai mountain, 70 li from Ningtu, on the road to Ihuang.\n\nOn the 8th April we left in a northerly direction for Ihuang, and stopped the night at Lo K'ou. Here eight people were shot in 1915 in an affray between the opium growers and the troops despatched to carry out suppression work.\n\nThe Mi Shih Chai mountain was situated some 10 li from Lo K'ou, and early on the morning of the 9th April we mounted it by a difficult path, and spent five hours in a careful exploration of the countryside. This region is said to be infested with tigers, so extra precautions were taken for the safety of our party. No poppy could be discovered anywhere, and the remains of the previous year's crops seen in the fields showed that none had been grown last year.\n\nWe arrived at Ihuang on the 11th April, and from there proceeded to Lin Ch'uan (formerly Fu Chou), where we embarked on board junks and were towed by steam launch to Tu Chia Pu, in the Chien Ch'ang district. As the country was flooded we were able to make use of certain shallow channels and short cuts, whereby we saved between one and two days' time.\n\nIn the range of mountains lying on the borders of the three districts of Yung Hsiu (formerly Chien Ch'ang), An, and Ching An, the names of Hsia Ping, Mei Ling, and Ch'üan Shui Ch'iu had been given as possible opium-poppy-growing localities, and we therefore proceeded from Tu Chia Pu, via Yung Hsiu district city to Pai Ch'a, which appeared to be the most convenient centre for visiting the places in question. Hsia Ping, Mei Ling, and Ch'üan Shui Ch'iu were found to be in close proximity, and on the 17th April I made a careful inspection and traversed the district without finding any trace of poppy, although the paths we took led us well into the heart of the hills away from the main roads. From here we crossed the mountains to An and entered the more level country leading to Feng Hsin and Kao An (formerly Jui-chou Fu). We arrived at Kao An on the 20th April. My intention had been to proceed to Shangkao and the Wan Tsai district, but in view of the advanced date and the favourable information received from the missionaries at Kao An it appeared waste of time to investigate further in this direction, and I accordingly returned to Kiukiang via Nanchang. I spent a day and a half in the provincial capital as the guest of the civil Governor, and returned to my post at Kiukiang on the 24th April.\n\nMethod of Inspection.\n\nIn those districts where the names of possible opium-poppy-growing localities had been furnished, the Chinese delegates and I visited and inspected each of the places in question. In those regions where it was commonly believed that poppy might possibly be found somewhere in the hills, I picked out the highest and most accessible part of the mountain range, ascended it by any track that could be found, and proceeded inland or along the crest for some miles until I had satisfied myself by the aid of powerful field-glasses that no poppy was under cultivation. In order to obtain fuller information as to the crops, official anti-opium proclamations, people, and general conditions, I walked for the greater part of the overland journey, and was thereby enabled to see much that might otherwise have escaped my notice.\n\nRelations with Chinese Officials.\n\nFrom first to last I have met with the utmost courtesy and consideration at the hands of the military and civil governors and their subordinates. The district magistrates and the gentry of every district visited have extended the heartiest hospitality to me as the representative of His Majesty's legation. Every facility was given me for visiting and inspecting any part of the country, and my wishes were met in every respect.\n\nThe successful organisation of our party reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Wang Nien-tsu, the Kiukiang magistrate, and the officers under his control. It is entirely due to ...\n\n[2729 k-1]\n\nG", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 479066, "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": "CO129-453 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1919 [1-3]", "page_number": 42, "title": "CO129-453 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1919 [1-3]", "content_text": "## Enclosure 2\n**WIDOWS AND ORPHANS' PENSIONS**\n(Ordinance No. 15 of 1908.)\n\n| Name of Pensioner | No. of Pension Register | Present Age of Pensioner | Amount of the Pension in Sterling, per annum | Amount of the Pension in Dollars, per annum | Date from which the Pension has been paid | Particulars |\n| --- | --- | --- | £ S. d. | $ C. | | |\n| Amina Moosdeen | 654 | 59 | 68,54 | | December, 1891 | Widow of Idos Moosdeen, late of Harbour Department |\n| Mary Bevan | 653 | 62 | 23.17 | | 3rd June, 1894 | Widow of W.

This officer is therefore not only guilty of deliberately attempting to stir up trouble between Great Britain and China over Thibet to forward his private political ends (see my previous despatches), but is likewise guilty of deliberately infringing the Anglo-Chinese Opium Treaty of 1911 for his own enrichment,\n\nI have had considerable experience of opium suppression in the distant interior of China, and I well know that the responsibility for any recrudescence of cultivation in formerly clean regions lies at the door of the local officials (who can maintain the suppression with the greatest ease if they desire to do so) acting under the orders of the Governor of their province, or the military chief controlling their area; exception being made in the case of semi-independent tribal country and of regions controlled by brigands or rebels. Luting, however, is a peaceful and purely Chinese district, as easily governed as the Chengtu Plain or the country round Peking, and is actually under the control, not of the southern \"rebel,\" but of a Peking-appointed official.\n\nConsular officers may perambulate provinces and certify them as clean; but such certification provides no guarantee whatsoever that cultivation will not be vigorously resumed in the following season if the local authorities desire to raise money from this unique revenue-producing source (as is the case in the present instance). It is always the officials and not the people who should be punished; but, unfortunately, the reverse is usually the case.\n\nI am fully aware of the wonderful progress that has been made in China as a whole, especially in the eastern provinces, in regard to opium suppression (in spite of the widespread recrudescence reported in disturbed and brigand-infested regions), and of the relatively small importance, to the whole question, of remote parts in Western Szechuan being under poppy cultivation; unmistakable evidence of the real progress made in suppression being everywhere provided by the high price of the native drug compared to ten years ago (though this high price is, of course, partly due to the heavy taxation imposed). But I am impelled to report this instance of open recrudescence under official auspices and encouragement, in order that you, sir, and perhaps the Chinese Government, may be informed of the nature of the official to whom Thibetan affairs continue to be entrusted.\n\nPerhaps the Chinese Government are under the impression that they cannot remove General Ch'en Hsia-ling from his post owing to Szechuan being independent. Such, however, is not the case. It is only the moral support afforded by his having the mandate of Peking to act as Frontier Commissioner that enables him to maintain his present position. Were that support withdrawn by an open mandate cashiering him, he would disappear from the scene almost at once.\n\nI have not mentioned the matter of this poppy cultivation to General Ch'en Hsia-ling, since I did not like to do so without your instructions, and also because I did not consider it desirable to do anything to impair the outwardly friendly relations which I have maintained with him in the interests of the peace of the frontier at the time of my departure.\n\nThe Chien-chang valley (the narrow strip of Chinese-inhabited territory running south towards Yunnan between Lolo and tribal country) is said to be also full of opium, definite information in regard to which has probably been supplied by Mr. Eastes. That region, which was until last summer also controlled by General Ch'en Hsia-ling, appears now to be a sort of no-man's-land, the possession of which is in dispute between the latter, the Szechuanese, and the Yünnanese.\n\nSzechuan was, I believe, passed as clean without an official inspection at the time the 1911 agreement was made. There was a limited amount of recrudescence after the revolution and during the subsequent troubles, and the poppy has always continued to flourish in the remote and semi-independent tribal country behind Kuan Hsien. But I have never heard of anything like the open and legalized cultivation now being carried on in Luting district and neighbourhood.\n\nCopy of this despatch has not been forwarded to the Foreign Department of the Government of India, as it is not directly concerned with Thibetan affairs.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nERIC TEICHMAN.\n\n8\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum.\n\nNOT carrying with me any paraphernalia for official correspondence on my journey hither from the Burmah frontier, I incorporated in a letter despatched en route to His Majesty's Minister at Peking my observations on the vast quantities of opium being grown, not only in the Chien-ch'ang valley, but also throughout the whole region traversed by me during twelve and a-half days' travel in south-western Szechuan.\n\nDuring the whole length of my journey across the western circuit of Yunnan, from the extreme south-west to the extreme north-east, I saw only five fields of opium poppy, and these were passed on the last half-day's journey in Yunnan, within 10 miles of the Szechuan boundary.\n\nOnce, however, I had crossed the River Yang-tsze and entered Szechuan, matters were entirely different, and poppy fields abounded on all sides, without the smallest attempt at concealment,\n\nFor the first two and a-half days to Hui-li the country was in the hands of Yunnan troops, and the percentage of opium crops was not very great; from Hui-li onwards for the next ten stages poppy fields were passed everywhere, in enormous quantities, and the percentage of these pernicious crops rose certainly to 50 per cent.\n\nThe valley of the Anuing River, which is the Chien-ch'ang (formerly Ning-yuan Fu) valley proper, is reached shortly before the end of the second stage northwards from Hui-li; three stages more, through absolutely countless poppy crops, brought me to the very large walled city of Chien-ch'ang (formerly Ning-yuan Fu), the headquarters of the Chien-ch'ang Taoyin, which lies just out of the Anning River valley, on its east side, in a broad plain which when I traversed it on the 17th March was a brilliant mass of poppy crops. During these three stages I travelled in company with a recently retired district magistrate of Hui-li, and in the course of conversation with him I commented freely on this flagrant breach of the Opium Agreement with Great Britain. His defence for his own scandalous inactivity in the matter, that he had no troops to carry out the work of suppression, was wholly specious, for throughout our journey in company we constantly passed large numbers of ill-disciplined local militiamen, whose sole occupation seemed to be loafing and gambling outside the gates of the many walled towns in which they were quartered; while day after day my efforts to find a temple to spend the night were frustrated because the temples—which abound all over Szechuan—were already occupied by these ruffians. Throughout the whole course of my journey in Szechuan I saw not a single proclamation against the cultivation of opium poppy bearing a date later than 1917.\n\nI agree entirely with Mr. Teichman's comment that it is always the officials and not the people who should be punished; my ex-magistrate travelling companion should undoubtedly have received a very severe sentence for his criminal, and doubtless highly lucrative, apathy. I was told by friendly natives encountered on my travels that each field of the illicit crop was worth 6 dollars to the authorities conniving at its existence.\n\nTwo stages above Chien-ch'ang the road quits the Anning River valley and becomes more mountainous as far as I could judge; the fact that opium cultivation for the next few stages is distinctly less universal is due solely to the less congenial character of the soil. But not until my sixteenth day's journey in Szechuan, four days north of the large district town of Yih-hsi, did I cease to see poppy crops altogether, and I attribute that cessation solely to the fact that the idle militia gave place, in the neighbourhood of the large towns of Ta-shu-p'u and Fu-lin, and thence onwards to Chengtu, to regular troops, under the command presumably of officers owning more than a nominal allegiance to the present military governor, Hsiung K'o-wu.\n\nMr. Teichman refers to the continued flourishing of poppy cultivation in the remote and semi-independent tribal country behind Kuan-hsien (about 40 miles north-west of Chengtu); this state of affairs is corroborated by local missionaries, who tell me, moreover, that opium growing on a small scale has begun again in several other hilly or mountainous areas on the fringe of the great Chengtu Plain,\n\nOn the 25th April a small paragraph in the local native press announced that General Tan Mou-hsin, the commander of the 1st division of Szechuan regulars, one of...\n\n472", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-457 - Public Offices - 1919.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 488118, "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": "CO129-468 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1921 [6-8]", "page_number": 471, "title": "CO129-468 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1921 [6-8]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nof money whatsoever in addition to the rent.

They will rather pay more and be sure they get the land they ask for than take months and months of trouble, resulting in the land being purchased by someone else. This is one of the causes, and perhaps the main cause, of the situation which has brought this Bill about. The second cause is the fact that the military authorities own large sections of land in the centre of the town which they do not require and which they do not put to use. That has caused a congestion which is inevitable and led to the law of supply and demand of private property soaring to great heights. And the third and more temporary cause is the general trade slump which started about a year ago. After the war, there was a trade boom and money was locked up in trade, but the trade slump has caused money which would otherwise be invested in commercial enterprises being devoted to the purchase of shares, or the acquisition of landed property, with the result that both shares and land in this Colony have recently boomed. The money was legitimately invested and invested on the faith that the investors would get an adequate return for the money invested. Properties have changed hands in the last few months, not only on the basis of the rents then paid but on the basis of the return the landlord expected to get for his money, the law allowing him to increase his rents, and that is why a Bill such as this, which destroys the sanctity of contract, and which is retrospective, will destroy that very confidence on which all trade and all investment is based. So far from leading to further building, it will make further building in this Colony almost impossible, for once the Government sanctions the principle of retrospective legislation, there is no limit to the amount of retrospective legislation which may be subsequently introduced, and one will not know what return he may get upon his money.\n\nClause 3 of the Bill states that \"notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, whether made before or after the commencement of this Ordinance, and whether oral or in writing, no rent shall be recoverable\" except the standard rent and that rent was fixed as the rent of last December. One of the results of this will be that persons who have, with the assistance of the law, evicted the tenants of last year by offering to pay a higher rent to take their place will now be protected and permitted to pay only the rent that was paid by the people that they themselves dispossessed.\n\n**MR. C. G. ALABASTER** said—May it please your Excellency and members of the Council, I am instructed by 31 proprietors of domestic tenements in Hong Kong, who represent between them many millions of dollars of invested money, to present their petition, copies of which are, I think, in the hands of all the members of this honourable Council, and to represent their views on this matter. I do so at the risk of being described, as I have already been described in a petition in anticipation, as a \"counsellor of evil\"; for it is a principle of that British justice, which is represented by the law and is to be found in those institutions, such as this, where the law is made, that all sides are entitled to a hearing and all sides are entitled to be represented by spokesmen.\n\nNow this Bill is opposed by those I represent, and many more who have not had time to prepare or sign petitions, because it is a bad Bill. It is a Bill which, as is confessed in the memorandum of Objects and Reasons, was prepared in a hurry, which does not carry out the suggestions on which the Committee appointed was instructed to act, and which attempts to meet a situation which is not a sudden emergency but which is the result of a number of contributing causes which have operated during the last 10 or 15 years and which this Bill does nothing to remove—in fact, which this Bill does much to accentuate.\n\nThe chief of these causes has been the policy of the Land Sales Department of this Colony. The harassing restrictions which are placed in the way of every applicant for land, in whatever part of the Colony he may be, has forced people who are desirous to build to go as far as possible into the market and buy private land in preference to Government land.\n\n| | \n|----------| \n| 10 | \n\nI think the greatest possible objection to this Bill is the clause which fixes the 31st December last year as the date at which the standard rent should be fixed. If it is necessary to fix a standard rent, surely the rent of the 30th June would be a better one, for at that date it was known that the Government contemplated such a Bill and subsequent purchases of property, if any, have been made on that understanding.\n\nWith your Excellency's permission, I will read the petition and make comments as I go.\n\n## TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR REGINALD EDWARD STUBBS, K.C.M.G.,\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same and to the Several Honourable Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong,\n\nThe Humble Petition of Li Wai Po, Chung Ting Chiu, Wong Sing Fai, Tang Hung, Tsui Kin Kwok, Tung Wai, Leung Hing Ip, Chiu Wai, Leung Wai Nam, Leung Shiu Kap, Fung Im, Chin Wong Shi, Sz To Shun Cho, Cheng Yuen, Leung Ying Chi, Pan Cheong Lam, Chan Hoi Lam, Ho Cheuk Ting, Leung Sai Chun, Yu Wai, Chan Wing Sing, Yuen Sam, Lau Kut Choi, Luk Choi Ting, Tam Chai Yat, Pun Cheung Shi, Young Ho, Wong Ping Ting, Chan Ka Ming, Chan Ka On, and Chau Shing Lee, all of Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, Property Owners.\n\nSheweth :-\n\n1.

Your petitioners verily believe that their views as expressed in this petition are shared by a large majority of the owners of domestic tenements in Hong Kong.\n\n3. That your petitioners view with alarm the principle of the whole Bill as unduly interfering with the law of supply and demand and as tending to prevent the free development of the Colony. That notwithstanding the exceptions contained in the Bill newly erected property your petitioners do not believe this will lead to the erection of any considerable number of domestic tenements seeing that there is no guarantee contained in the Bill that a similar Bill will not be passed in the near future bringing such newly erected property within its provisions. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly beg to submit that a provision be added to the Bill providing that all buildings now in course of erection or hereafter to be erected shall be excluded from the provisions of this or any Bill to the like effect for a period of at least 15 years.\n\n4. Your petitioners also humbly beg to submit that this Bill if passed will cause a serious fall in the value of domestic tenements and that a considerable loss will fall on those persons who have recently purchased property on the basis of the rentals now prevailing in the Colony.\n\n5. Your petitioners further humbly submit that the Ordinance should not be made retrospective but that the standard rent should be the rent payable on the coming into force of the Bill which should not be a date earlier than the date upon which the Ordinance receives the assent of His Excellency the Governor for the following reasons:-\n\n(a) That purchasers of property since the 31st day of December, 1920, have purchased the same on the basis of the rentals payable at the time of purchase and on the basis of the rents which your petitioners knew the tenants were willing to pay in respect of the properties occupied by them.\n\n(b) That mortgagees have lent money on such properties the amount of loan being based upon the value of the property calculated on the rents receivable at the time of the mortgage and on the saleable value of similar property in the open market which value was based not only upon the rentals then paid but on the demand for domestic tenements in Hongkong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-468 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1921 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489254, "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": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 402, "title": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "# This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n\n## J 400 CHINA. **CONFIDENTIAL**.\n\n`[F 3358/711/10]` \nC O 13063 \nRECO NRed.17 M. 21 \n[December 23.]\n\n## SECTION 1.\n\n### Mr. Clive to Earl Curzon,-(Received December 23.)\n\n**(No. 692.)** \nMy Lord, \nPeking, October 11, 1920.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith a summary of the intelligence reports of His Majesty's consular officers in China for the quarter ended the 30th June last, which has been compiled by Mr. R.

CLIVE.\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1.\n\n#### Intelligence Reports of His Majesty's Consular Officers in China for Quarter ended June 30, 1920.\n\n##### Introduction.\n\nDURING the past quarter interest has centred mainly in the struggle between the forces of Tuchun Hsiung K'owu of Szechuan and those of Tang Chi-yao, Tuchun of Yunnan and leader of the south-west confederation. Hsiung's position at the end of June was such that, failing assistance from an unexpected quarter, his overthrow appeared inevitable, stoutly as he has fought against superior opponents.\n\nIn the North about the beginning of July, following on the loss of Hunan to the South though the unauthorised withdrawal of General Wu Pei-fu and the flight of Tuchun Chang Ching-yao, the political struggle between the Chihli and Anfu Parties reached its climax. The crash came with the sudden dismissal of Hsu Shu-ch'eng (Little Hsü), and the civil war which followed has ended in the utter defeat of Tuan Chi-jui and his Anfu clique.\n\nTuan has fallen only to be replaced, it would seem, by General Chang Tso-lin, who with his large well-disciplined army in Manchuria is in a position to control the activities of the Chihli Party, and on whose attitude in the near future may depend the fate of the Central Government. There are, indeed, already indications that Peking has merely exchanged one master for another and more powerful one.\n\n##### Canton.\n\nThe general situation has remained unaltered: Wu Ting-fang and his fellow dissentient directors have shown no intention of leaving Shanghai—the split between them and the Kuangsi Party is therefore complete.\n\nNegotiations are reported to be in progress between the Anfu Club and the Yunnanese Party, on the one hand, and the Chihli and Kuangsi Parties, on the other; the latter would appear to have agreed upon the following terms as a basis for peace:\n| Term | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | Hsü Shih-Ch'ang to be recognised as President; Lu Yung-t'ing to be his successor. |\n| 2 | Chin Yün-p'eng to be Premier, and the Kuo Min Tang to have four seats in the Cabinet, the Anfu members being dismissed. |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489424, "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": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 572, "title": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "# CHINA.\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n`[F 851/81/10]`\n\n### No. 1.\n#### [March 8.]\n\n## SECTION 2.\n\n### Sir B. Alston to Earl Curzon.-(Received March 8.)\n\n**(No. 37.)**\nMy Lord,\n\nPeking, January 24, 1921.\n\nMR. CLIVE'S despatch No. 725 of the 3rd November reported the disappearance from Canton of what had previously been the independent Military Government of the South and, simultaneously therewith, the issue by the President of the republic of mandates proclaiming reunification and summoning a new Parliament. The first of these documents has remained a dead letter so far as Kuangtung and Yunnan are concerned. Sun Yat Sen, T'ang Shao-yi and Wu Ting-Fang returned to Canton on the 29th November, and there again formed an independent Military Government, whose authority is recognised by Ch'en Chiung-ming and, nominally at any rate, by T'ang Chi-yao. On the 29th December mandates were issued by Peking appointing Lu Jung-ting Director-General of Kuangtung Frontier Defence and confirming the appointments of his two subordinates, who hold the positions of Military and Civil Governor of Kuangsi. On the following day mandates were issued confirming Liu Ts'un-hou as Military Governor and appointing Hsiung K'o-wu Civil Governor of Szechuan. The return to the Northern fold of those two provinces was thus formally signalled.\n\nShortly after the expulsion of the Yunnanese from Szechuan the Military Governor of Kueichow entered into negotiations with the Szechuan authorities with a view to his likewise reaching an understanding with the Peking Government. These negotiations were interrupted by the forcible expulsion of the Governor. His successor has resumed efforts to arrive at an understanding with Szechuan, but whether these negotiations result in the return of the province to its allegiance to the Central Government depends upon eventualities in Kuangtung, Kuangsi and Yunnan province.\n\nThe situation in Hunan likewise remains unsettled. The popularity of Tan Yen-k'ai, who became Military Governor on the reconquest of the province from the North, did not long survive his efforts to raise the revenue necessary for the upkeep of his forces from a province bled white by the series of Northern and Southern rulers who have succeeded one another as the tide of civil war moved backward and forward. On the 23rd November he handed over charge to General Chao Heng-ti, who, like himself, was in favour of reunion with the North and opposed to the Canton Radicals. Since that date further rebellions have taken place. General Chao, having executed his opponents wholesale, still holds on to his post, but his tenure is precarious and so far no overt act of union with the North has taken place.\n\nIn Canton itself the establishment of the new Military Government is believed to be viewed with much disfavour by influential sections of Cantonese, and there is a strong probability that the disagreement known to exist between Ch'en Ch'iung-ming and the Radical clique of Sun Yat Sen and his friends will lead to fighting between the forces owing allegiance to each.\n\nMeasures continue to be taken to carry out the mandate convoking a new Parliament. With the best will in the world, elections at a time like the present - with famine raging in North China and internecine warfare still continuing or just suspended in the South - can be but a farce. The opinion is widely held that the Parliament will never meet.\n\nNo term has yet been set to the intrigues, mentioned in Mr. Clive's despatch No. 725, arising in connection with the appointment of a successor to the Military Governorship of Kiangsu. These form one out of many possible causes of fighting between the victors, who lately combined to destroy the Anfu clique.\n\nThe demand for funds wherewith to nourish the military monster which is devouring this country becomes ever more insistent. Men like Chang Tso-lin and Tsao K'un, who have amassed and invested millions, are at their wits' end for ready cash.\n\nThe second named has found a temporary source of supply by holding up \"famine relief\" - until the grain - brought down from Manchuria free of freight - for price rises even higher, or by selling it at a profit to foreign relief societies.\n\n`[5815 k―2]`\n\nPage 569", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489690, "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": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 181, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n## SECTION 1. 36697\n\n### No. 1.\n\n(No. 180.) My Lord.\n\nSir B. Alston to Earl Curzon.—(Received May 25.)\n\nPeking, April 1, 1921.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 37 of the 24th January have the honour to report on the political situation in this country since that date.\n\nAs regards Szechuan, the return of the province to its allegiance to the Peking Government was only temporary. Hsiung K'o-wu, who refused to accept the position of Civil Governor given to him by presidential mandate, has nominally retired from politics, while Liu Te-hun-hou, Peking's Military Governor, was compelled to abandon his post on the 22nd February. Liu Hsiang, who now styles himself commander-in-chief of the troops of Szechuan, adopts a policy of independence, recognising neither the Peking nor the Canton Governments.\n\nA similar position prevails since the 8th February in Yunnan, on which day Tang Chi-yao abandoned the capital, subsequently leaving the province altogether. The reason for this sudden disappearance of a military leader whose position had every appearance of stability was discontent among his subordinates at the absence of funds with which to pay their troops once the latter had been driven out of the rich province of Szechuan, Tang's successor, General Ku Pin-chen, entered Yunnan-fu city on the 9th, and assumed office without serious disorder or bloodshed.\n\nIn Canton province no overt breach has so far taken place between Ch'en Ch'iung-ming and the followers of Sun Yat-sen. The latter desires to compel the adjoining province of Kuangsi to overturn its present authorities, who are responsible for its resuming allegiance to the Peking Government, and to constitute a federal republic with himself as president. Ch'en is strongly opposed to such a policy, and as a consequence hostilities between the two provinces have not taken place, while the bad blood between the two factions at Canton has grown steadily worse.\n\nThough Sun Yat-sen has no control and little influence outside of Kuangtung, the idea of converting China into a federal republic has steadily gained ground during the past few months and among its present adherents are the provincial Administrations of Canton, Yunnan, Kueichow, Szechuan and Hunan. The change is one which might conceivably form a solution for some of China's difficulties. Unfortunately it appears that the provincial militarists who advocate it do so because it seems to afford them the best means now in sight of holding on to their power. Under such circumstances there is little hope that its introduction would be attended by any immediate improvement in the internal condition of the country.\n\nIn Hupeh the question of the Civil Governorship has been settled by the surrender of the Central Government who have now appointed a persona grata to the Military Governor. Their original nominee was unable during his six months' tenure of the post to occupy his own office, preferring to remain for safety's sake in the neighbourhood of the foreign concessions on the opposite bank of the Yang-tsze.\n\nTurning to North China, the difficulties ensuing upon the removal of the late Military Governor of Kansu, reported in my despatch No. 29 of the 12th January, remain unsolved, but so far hostilities have not broken out.\n\nAt the moment all eyes are turned to Manchuria, waiting for the next move by Chang Tso-lin, which, there is reason to fear, may precipitate hostilities between him and his rivals. The casus belli cannot be foretold, but there are strong reasons for the belief that Chang is determined to reinstate the Emperor Hsuan-t'ung. Apart from information reaching the Legation from more than one reliable source the following circumstances give support to this view.\n\nThe surrender of Urga to the Mongols, on which I am reporting separately, and the subsequent evacuation by the Chinese of Outer Mongolia, have taken place without assistance being given to his own countrymen by Chang or his subordinates, who alone were in a position to offer it effectively and speedily. Not only so, but the case of Baron Ungern who, with his Russian and Buriat troops, gave valuable aid to the Mongols, and was for months at Hailar, a station on the `Chinese Eastern Railway` under ... \n\n[6208 36-1] \n`F 1945/81/10` \nPage 180", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490007, "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": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 498, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "## Page 14\n\nIn view of the desire of the Wai-chiao Pu to place Hupei on the list of provinces into which Indian opium shall not be conveyed, the issue of opium is considered. You enclose a translation from a memorandum by the Wai-chiao Pu dated the 3rd July, in which a telegram is quoted from the Tutu and Civil Governor of Hupei, claiming that opium cultivation throughout the province has been extinguished and that the import of native opium has long ago been prohibited.\n\nI fear that it would be useless for me to apply for information to the missionaries of Hupei at the present time, seeing that they are in the middle of their summer vacation and will not return to their several posts for a month or two. Even were they at their posts, they could do little more than give me their impressions based, for the most part, on hearsay of what has taken place in the past.\n\nHad General Li Yuan-hung, instead of telegraphing as he did to the Wai-chiao Pu, applied to me, I should have answered in the sense of the third paragraph of your memorandum to that Department of the 18th July, namely, that the poppy season is now over, and that it is too late to attempt any inspection. I should have added that, under article 4 of the Opium Agreement of 1911, it is for British officials to decide as to the extent of cultivation, and not for \"various bureaux, magistrates, and deputies\"; and that the Hupei Government, although invited by me last December to arrange for such investigation by British officials, never, from first to last, has evinced the least desire for even a joint commission of enquiry.\n\nGeneral Li's reluctance to suggest or accept such a commission is easily comprehended when it is remembered that he was obliged to admit the existence of poppy cultivation in Shih-nan and Yünyang prefectures (see my despatch of the 24th December, 1912). It is true that his Excellency has shown much zeal in stamping out that cultivation; but if he had been convinced, let us say in May last, that his efforts had completely succeeded, it is only reasonable to suppose that he would have adopted the same course as his colleagues of Hunan and Anhui and pressed for investigation by British officials.\n\nThe local Chinese newspapers are not in all respects reliable, but even in their most extravagant statements, there is usually to be found some basis of fact. Now, during the period from the 1st January to the 30th June last, frequent paragraphs have appeared in these journals noting cases where the poppy was being grown, either with the connivance of the local authorities or in defiance of the \"bureaux and deputies.\" I have compiled a list of some of these paragraphs, a copy of which, in English and Chinese, I have now the honour to enclose.\n\nThe conclusion that cannot well be avoided, if any credence at all is to be given to reports so circumstantial, is that the suppression of the cultivation of the poppy, in at any rate the more remote and mountainous portions of Hupei, was by no means so complete last season as to justify His Majesty's Government in declaring this province to be one into which Indian opium is now no longer admissible.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

It is a journey which would take nearly a month, but from what Chinese say, there must be a good deal of growing going on in the more secluded spots.\n\nOf the import of native opium, it is difficult to speak. None comes through the customs, but I have questioned the writer of this consulate very closely, and he says he could buy smuggled opium at any time about 5-6 tiao an ounce. The price stated in my above-mentioned despatch has gone up, owing to the greater stringency caused by the closing of the official opium offices.\n\nWhen I was at Shasi, I questioned several of the merchants there as to how many smokers there were still; they said that there were now no more than 3 or 4 per cent.

I have the honour to forward herewith a report on a journey of investigation into the cultivation of the opium poppy in the province of Kiangsi jointly with officials appointed by the Chinese Government in accordance with article 4 of the Opium Agreement of 1911. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nEnclosure 8 in No. 29. \n\nW. RUSSELL BROWN. \n\n## Report on a Journey of Investigation into the Cultivation of the Opium Poppy in the Province of Kiangsi. \n\nI have the honour to report that Messrs. Chien Kuang-hsi and Huang Tao-hsiung, the Chinese delegates appointed by the Wai-chiao Pu and the Ministry of the Interior, reached Kiukiang on the 16th March, and left with me by rail on the 19th March for Southern Kiangsi via Nanchang and the River Kan. This route was selected as the most practicable in view of the information in the possession of the consulate, which showed that the cultivation of opium poppy had been completely eradicated in the plains and low-lying parts of the province, and that any opium which might exist would be found in remote places in the mountains. On this point Protestant and Catholic missionaries, and the local Chinese press were unanimous. The mountainous regions of Kanchou, Yu Tu, Hsing Kuo, Ningtu, and Ihuang in the south and south-east and the range of hills lying on the borders of Chien Chang, Ani, and Chingan in the north-west were generally regarded as suspicious localities, and I therefore determined to visit these districts in succession. Owing to the difference in the climate between the north and south of the province, the poppy flowering three weeks earlier in the Kanchou region than in the Ani district, we directed our course first to the south. \n\nOur party, augmented by deputies despatched by the provincial administration and escorts of soldiers and police, left Nanchang early on the morning of the 21st March in seven junks, and were towed by steam launches up the Kan River to Wanan. Here on the 28th March we left the river and proceeded by chair to Kan Hsien (formerly Kan Chou), where we arrived on the 30th March. \n\nEnquiries were made by me at the Protestant and Catholic mission stations touched at en route from Nanchang, and I was everywhere informed that the rigorous measures of the magistrates and anti-opium officials had effectually suppressed opium-poppy cultivation in those districts. \n\nThe Protestant and Catholic missionaries at Kan Hsien were equally emphatic on this point, and assured me that it would be waste of time to visit the hills in that region. I accordingly pressed on to Yü Tu, which was reached on the 2nd April, after an exceedingly difficult two days' march. \n\nAs Yu Tu was one of the few districts in which opium poppy was known to have been grown in 1916, I determined to pay particular attention to this region, and after passing the district city, I left the road, climbed the most difficult part of the mountain range, and proceeded inland for a couple of hours' journey, looking with a pair of powerful field-glasses at the pockets of land lying between the hills. In this way I was able to satisfy myself beyond doubt that no opium poppy was under cultivation in an area of many square miles. I eventually regained the main road by a different route, and in the afternoon scaled the mountains to the south-west by a woodcutter's path. Here I spent some four hours in a careful inspection of the surrounding country, and returned convinced that no opium poppy was grown there, as I had been able to see the crops over an area of more than 12 square miles. The climbing in this part of the country was so difficult that only two officers and a few of the soldiers were able to accompany me. We reached the borders of Hsing Kuo district before turning back. I did not enter that district as I had received information at Kan Hsien that opium poppy had been eradicated in that region in 1916 after a severe fight between the troops and the people, in the course of which several persons had been killed and wounded and many houses burned. \n\n87 \n\nOn the 5th April we arrived at Ningtu, where we were forced to rest for one day owing to the exhaustion of our party. Many of the soldiers were brought in in chairs, as they were quite unable to walk. \n\nAt Ningtu, Mr. and Mrs. Seipel, missionaries in charge of the China Inland Mission station in that city, gave me a most cordial welcome, and assured us that the poppy was believed to be extinct in that region. But from another source I learnt the name of one possible opium-poppy growing locality, the Mi Shih Chai mountain, 70 li from Ningtu, on the road to Ihuang. \n\nOn the 8th April we left in a northerly direction for Ihuang, and stopped the night at Lo K'ou. Here eight people were shot in 1915 in an affray between the opium growers and the troops despatched to carry out suppression work. \n\nThe Mi Shih Chai mountain was situated some 10 li from Lo K'ou, and early on the morning of the 9th April we mounted it by a difficult path, and spent five hours in a careful exploration of the countryside. This region is said to be infested with tigers, so extra precautions were taken for the safety of our party. No poppy could be discovered anywhere, and the remains of the previous year's crops seen in the fields showed that none had been grown last year. We arrived at Ihuang on the 11th April, and from there proceeded to Lin Ch'uan (formerly Fu Chou), where we embarked on board junks and were towed by steam launch to Tu Chia Pu, in the Chien Ch'ang district. As the country was flooded we were able to make use of certain shallow channels and short cuts, whereby we saved between one and two days' time. \n\nIn the range of mountains lying on the borders of the three districts of Yung Hsiu (formerly Chien Ch'ang), Ani, and Ching An, the names of Hsia Ping, Mei Ling, and Ch'üan Shui Ch'in had been given as possible opium-poppy growing localities, and we therefore proceeded from Tu Chia Pu, via Yung Hsiu district city to Pai Ch'a, which appeared to be the most convenient centre for visiting the places in question. Hsia Ping, Mei Ling, and Ch'üan Shui Ch'in were found to be in close proximity, and on the 17th April I made a careful inspection and traversed the district without finding any trace of poppy, although the paths we took led us well into the heart of the hills away from the main roads. From here we crossed the mountains to Ani and entered the more level country leading to Feng Hsin and Kao An (formerly Jui-chou Fu). We arrived at Kao An on the 20th April. My intention had been to proceed to Shang-kao and the Wan Tsai district, but in view of the advanced date and the favourable information received from the missionaries at Kao An it appeared waste of time to investigate further in this direction, and I accordingly returned to Kiukiang via Nanchang. I spent a day and a half in the provincial capital as the guest of the civil Governor, and returned to my post at Kiukiang on the 24th April. \n\n## Method of Inspection. \n\nIn those districts where the names of possible opium-poppy growing localities had been furnished, the Chinese delegates and I visited and inspected each of the places in question. In those regions where it was commonly believed that poppy might possibly be found \"somewhere in the hills,\" I picked out the highest and most inaccessible part of the mountain range, ascended it by any track that could be found, and proceeded inland or along the crest for some miles until I had satisfied myself by the aid of powerful field-glasses that no poppy was under cultivation. In order to obtain fuller information as to the crops, official anti-opium proclamations, people, and general conditions, I walked for the greater part of the overland journey, and was thereby enabled to see much that might otherwise have escaped my notice. \n\n## Relations with Chinese Officials. \n\nFrom first to last I have met with the utmost courtesy and consideration at the hands of the Military and Civil Governors and their subordinates. The district magistrates and the gentry of every district visited have extended the heartiest hospitality to me as the representative of His Majesty's Legation. Every facility was given me of visiting and inspecting any part of the country, and my wishes were met in every respect. \n\nThe successful organisation of our party reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Wang Nien-tsu, the Kiukiang magistrate, and the officers under his control.

Jordan\n\nTachienlu, April 27, 1919.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that on my journey back from Chengtu we found the entire length of the Tung river valley (along which the road runs for two days' march - district of Luting) blazing with countless fields of red and white poppies in full bloom wherever the bays in the gorge permitted of cultivation. In most places fully a quarter of the land under cultivation was producing opium. This poppy cultivation (which I had failed to notice on my way down a month and a half earlier owing to my being very unwell, and to the plant not being in flower) is openly carried on without the least attempt at concealment right along this main route, which is one of the most important and most travelled of the big trunk roads of China; and the poppies were even flourishing in the immediate vicinity and in full view of the magistrate's seat and the big Catholic Mission establishment at Luting Ch'iao itself. The local people told my servants that the neighbourhood was growing poppy for the first time for many years, and that the cultivation was encouraged by the officials, who levied a tax of 28 rupees per Chinese acre of opium-producing land.\n\nMy statements about this opium cultivation, and the amazingly open way it is carried on, can be corroborated by Mr. Clements, of the China Inland Mission at Tachienlu, the Catholic missionaries, and by my own Pekinese servants. I shall try and secure some photographs of it on my way down.\n\nNo poppy cultivation whatever was to be seen for the first nine days' march out of Chengtu (i.e., while traversing regions controlled by the southern leader, Governor Hsiung Ko-wu); and we only came upon the opium after traversing the Fei Yü Ling (pass) and entering the district of Luting, which forms part of the Szechuan frontier territory.\n\nI have had considerable experience of opium suppression in the distant interior of China, and I well know that the responsibility for any recrudescence of cultivation in formerly clean regions lies at the door of the local officials (who can maintain the suppression with the greatest ease if they desire to do so) acting under the orders of the Governor of their province, or the military chief controlling their area; exception being made in the case of semi-independent tribal country and of regions controlled by brigands or rebels. Luting, however, is a peaceful and purely Chinese district, as easily governed as the Chengtu plain or the country round Peking, and is actually under the control, not of the southern \"rebel,\" but of a Peking-appointed official.\n\nConsular officers may perambulate provinces and certify them as clean; but such certification provides no guarantee whatsoever that cultivation will not be vigorously resumed in the following season if the local authorities desire to raise money from this unique revenue-producing source (as is the case in the present instance). It is always the officials and not the people who should be punished; but, unfortunately, the reverse is usually the case.\n\nSzechuan was, I believe, passed as clean without an official inspection at the time the 1911 Agreement was made. There was a limited amount of recrudescence after the revolution and during the subsequent troubles, and the poppy has always continued to flourish in the remote and semi-independent tribal country behind Kuan Hsien. But I have never heard of anything like the open and legalised cultivation now being carried on in Luting district and neighbourhood.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**ERIC TEICHMAN**\n\n89\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 37\n\n### Memorandum\n\nNOT carrying with me any paraphernalia for official correspondence on my journey hither from the Burma frontier, I incorporated in a letter despatched en route to His Majesty's Minister at Peking my observations on the vast quantities of opium being grown, not only in the Chien-ch'ang valley, but also throughout the whole region traversed by me during twelve and a half days' travel in South-Western Szechuan.\n\nDuring the whole length of my journey across the western circuit of Yunnan, from the extreme south-west to the extreme north-east, I saw only five fields of opium poppy, and these were passed on the last half-day's journey in Yunnan, within 10 miles of the Szechuan boundary.\n\nOnce, however, I crossed the river Yang-tsze and entered Szechuan, matters were entirely different, and poppy fields abounded on all sides, without the smallest attempt at concealment.\n\nFor the first two and a half days to Hui-li the country was in the hands of Yunnan troops, and the percentage of opium crops was not very great; from Hui-li onwards for the next ten stages poppy fields were passed everywhere, in enormous quantities, and the percentage of these pernicious crops rose certainly to 50 per cent. The valley of the Anning river, which is the Chien-ch'ang (formerly Ning-yüan Fu) valley proper, is reached shortly before the end of the second stage northwards from Hui-li; three stages more, through absolutely countless poppy crops, brought me to the very large walled city of Chien-ch'ang (formerly Ning-yüan Fu), the headquarters of the Chien-ch'ang Taoyin, which lies just out of the Anning river valley, on its east side, in a broad plain which when I traversed it on the 17th March was a brilliant mass of poppy crops. During these three stages I travelled in company with a recently retired district magistrate of Hui-li, and in the course of conversation with him I commented freely on this flagrant breach of the Opium Agreement with Great Britain. His defence for his own scandalous inactivity in the matter, that he had no troops to carry out the work of suppression, was wholly specious, for throughout our journey in company we constantly passed large numbers of ill-disciplined local militiamen, whose sole occupation seemed to be loafing and gambling outside the gates of the many walled towns in which they were quartered; while day after day my efforts to find a temple to spend the night were frustrated because the temples - which abound all over Szechuan - were already occupied by these ruffians. Throughout the whole course of my journey in Szechuan I saw not a single proclamation against the cultivation of opium poppy bearing a date later than 1917.\n\nI agree entirely with Mr. Teichman's comment that it is always the officials and not the people who should be punished; my ex-magistrate travelling companion should undoubtedly have received a very severe sentence for his criminal, and doubtless highly lucrative, apathy. I was told by friendly natives encountered on my travels that each field of the illicit crop was worth 6 dollars to the authorities conniving at its existence.\n\nTwo stages above Chien-ch'ang the road quits the Anning river valley and becomes more mountainous: as far as I could judge, the fact that opium cultivation for the next few stages is distinctly less universal is due solely to the less congenial character of the soil. But not until my sixteenth day's journey in Szechuan, four days north of the large district town of Yueh-hsi, did I cease to see poppy crops altogether, and I attribute that cessation solely to the fact that the idle militia gave place, in the neighbourhood of the large towns of Ta-shu-p'u and Fu-lin, and thence onwards to Chengtu, to regular troops, under the command presumably of officers owning more than a nominal allegiance to the present Military Governor, Hsiung K'o-wu.\n\nMr. Teichman refers to the continued flourishing of poppy cultivation in the remote and semi-independent tribal country behind Kuan-hsien (about 40 miles north-west of Chengtu); this state of affairs is corroborated by local missionaries, who tell me, moreover, that opium growing on a small scale has begun again in several other hilly or mountainous areas on the fringe of the great Chengtu plain.\n\n**A.

Copies of three despatches on the subject from His Majesty's consul at Foochow are enclosed for your Lordship's information.\n\nWhilst realising that under existing political conditions but little effective control can be exercised by Peking over recalcitrant provincial officials, I shall continue to impress upon the Chinese Government its responsibility for the flagrant neglect of duty in the matter of opium suppression displayed by the high authorities of Fukien and other provinces.\n\n119 \n\nThe Anti-Opium Society is supposed to be collecting further evidence of the existence of the poppy, but their report is still not yet ready.\n\nIt is doubtful whether the Governor is really willing or able to exercise any real power over his subordinates who, waxing rich on their gains, seem determined to ignore his orders, and unless the Central Government can find some way of putting on the screw there would appear no probability of this province being free from opium cultivation at an early date.\n\nI have, &c. \n\nH. PHILLIPS, \n\nI have, &c. \n\nB. ALSTON. \n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 53.\n\n### Consul Phillips to Sir B. Alston.\n\nSir, \n\nFoochow, March 14, 1921. WITH reference to my despatch of the 28th January upon the subject of opium prohibition, I have the honour to forward a map of the province of Fukien, in which the areas under cultivation are marked in red.\n\nOther evidence has been supplied to the American consul by Mr. George W. Hollister, an American missionary, in the shape of four photographs, enclosed herewith, showing poppy under cultivation in fields between the villages Shih-ma and Yu-tang, Fukien. Mr. Hollister wrote to the American consul as follows:-\n\n\"All four of the pictures were taken on the 23rd December, and all were taken between Shih-ma and Yu-tang. I think I only saw one field with poppy between Yu-tang and Hsinghua. Yu-tang was the boundary between the Northern and Southern territory during the recent trouble.\n\n\"Although these pictures were only taken in that comparatively small stretch, it would be possible to take any number of pictures in almost any part of the county. There is very little up in Hingtai, and there are but few fields in the western part of the county. The soil in these places does not seem best for growing the poppy. The entire eastern section, including Dang-hau, Kuei-ting, Hsiang-ting, Fen-ting, Tze-hsiao, contain thousands of acres of poppy-fields. I doubt if there has been more planted than was planted last year, but I think there is as much,\"\n\nI also enclose a photograph taken at Hsien Yu in the Hinghua district in February last by a C.M.S. missionary giving very clear evidence of the cultivation. I have sent a copy of this photograph to the Governor.*\n\nIt is to be observed that the poppy is to be found chiefly in the south of the province. That district has now been in Northern occupation for two and a half months, so that the Tuchun can have little real excuse for his failure to get his orders obeyed. At the same time he is in a difficult position. As the Southern forces and the bandits reaped vast sums from opium in Hsien Yu district the bandits are credited with having made 1,000,000 taels last year, and the Northern troops naturally looked forward to their share of the plunder. Add the fact that the forces generally are only receiving half-pay, and it is scarcely to be wondered at that proclamations ordering prohibition are openly ignored. Of late, and for the first time, it is said, General Li has now issued direct orders to the military commanders throughout Fukien holding them personally responsible for preventing opium cultivation. He has found that the civil officials were powerless in the matter owing to the fact that the soldiers were practically ordering the farmers to plant opium. This action, however, may be due to the presence in Foochow of four opium inspectors sent down by the Central Government. The story goes that these men, whose names are Wang Ta-heng, Ch'en Te-i, Ch'iu Kung-K'uei and Lin Hsiang, received 3,000 dollars from Peking for expenses, and that on their arrival here were given another 3,000 dollars by General Li, who has also entertained them. These men arrived two weeks ago, and have not yet commenced their investigations. The Anti-Opium Society tried to arrange a public meeting to welcome them, but after accepting, and when all arrangements had been made, the inspectors managed to back out of it, and the meeting fell through.\n\n*Not received.\n\nSir, \n\nFoochow, April 18, 1921. WITH reference to my despatch of the 14th March last, have the honour to report further upon the subject of opium cultivation in this province.\n\nGeneral Li Hou Chi does not attempt to deny that cultivation is taking place, but on the contrary frankly admits that such is the case in the southern part of the province. I enclose a copy and translation of his reply to me of the 6th April in which, while expressing his shame at what is happening, he lays all the blame upon the bandits. He holds out hope of their speedy capture, but their mere presence at all is of course nothing more nor less than a heaven-sent excuse for failure to root up the poppy.\n\nAnother side of the picture is afforded by a letter sent to me three days later than General Li's letter by Wu Wei, the bandit chief of whom the general complains. Wu Wei in his letter, which is addressed also to you and various foreign Ministers as well as the consuls in Foochow and Amoy, practically accuses General Li of direct connivance in the trade. The latter's agent is said to be Colonel Wang Hsien-ch'en, a man who owes his present rank and position entirely to General Li, since he was previously only a petty official. Rumour also states that he married a slave girl from General Li's family, so that the close connection between the two is thus easily understood.\n\nThe brigand chief Wu Wei's charges are to some extent supported by a letter I received from the Rev. S. J. Nightingale, C.M.S., of Hing Hua city, dated the 29th March, who wrote as follows:-\n\n\"Undoubtedly, there is a very large crop being gathered in the Hsien Yu county. The only new element in the situation is that the Northern officials are levying a tax on each mow. Common report says the military under Colonel Wang first of all demanded 15.00 dollars per mow, but later this tax has been reduced to 12.00 dollars per mow.\"\n\nIn the districts around Kienning-fu there seems to be a plentiful supply of opium as almost every sizeable village has a den for its consumption. This is most noticeable in travelling by Sedan chair. Chair bearers almost without exception are addicted to the drug and must have their pipe at least once a day.\n\nI am informed that the opinion prevalent among all classes is that there is a well-established underground supply line from Amoy by way of Ting Chou-fu and Yungan and thence throughout the northern part of the province. It is reported that this line of supply is organised if not actually operated by the Japanese, who import the drug from Formosa.\n\n### Translation.\n\nSir, \n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 53.\n\n### Civil Governor Li Hou Chi to Consul Phillips.\n\nApril 6, 1921. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, in which you enclosed for my inspection a photograph of opium cultivation in the Hsien-yu district sent to you by the Fukien branch of the International Anti-Opium Association.

You enquired what had been the effect of the opium prohibition measures taken by me, and also as to the planting of other crops. You further asked for a reply in order that you might report to His Majesty's Minister.\n\nI beg to observe that in the lower part of the province, the country people having secretly planted opium, I have on frequent occasions ordered the various magistrates to make thorough investigation and completely eradicate the poppy.\n\nAt the present time the newly-appointed magistrates are successfully carrying out my instructions, and are zealously acting in accordance with the programme formerly laid down by me. It is to be hoped that at an early date opium cultivation will have been swept away.\n\nBut in Sien Yu district, in spite of military reinforcements, many brigands exist in the less-frequented places, of whom the chief is one Chang Nai Wu. Although this man has been arrested, his adherents are scattered about everywhere. Their capture is on the point of being effected, but there is still the brigand chief Wu Wei and others, who during the last two days have been opposing the Government troops. It is a fact, then, brigands are occupying part of this district, and up to the present they have not been dispersed. On this account, it has not been possible to eradicate completely opium planted by these brigands, and I am therefore very much ashamed.\n\nI have again instructed most strictly the local officials, civil and military, to make the most careful and thorough investigation in regard to secret cultivation of opium, and to pull it up in order to stamp out the abuse at an early date. In this way, we may requite the friendly spirit and assistance of foreign nations. In the event of any breach of the regulations, the offenders are to be dealt with severely in accordance with the law.\n\nI have the honour to address you the above reply for your information.\n\nI have, &c.\n**LI HOU C.II.**\n\n## 121\n\nIf in this way we can avoid the evil spreading over the country, it will be fortunate.

All the officials were appointed by Wang Hsien-ch'en. The tax is being levied from February until the middle of April. Up to the present, opium is still to be found in the above districts and the opium tax office has not yet been abolished.\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 53\n\nExpress Letters instead of Telegrams to the British, American, French, Japanese, Russian, and Dutch Ministers at Peking, and to the British, American, French, Japanese, Russian, and Dutch consuls at Foochow and Amoy, and to the International Anti-Opium Society.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nWITH reference to the question of opium prohibition, we are very fortunate in that friendly nations signed an agreement for the opium trade to be extinguished within the extremely short space of ten years. But unfortunately, trouble broke out between North and South, and fighting took place in Fukien. The officials made a fine show with words, while the common people are greedy for gain, with the result that opium is again secretly cultivated. Such a proceeding is greatly to be hated. When Ch'en Chiung-ming left Fukien for Kwangtung, he handed back to Li Hou Chi, Governor of Fukien, the districts in the southern part of the province which he had occupied in order to unite the province. In October 1920, General Li sent Wang Hsien-ch'en, commander of the Body Guard, to guard Hsien-yu. But Wang Hsien-ch'en, after reaching Hsien-yu, allowed the people to plant the poppy, and at harvest time, he cunningly created a tax under the name of \"Tien Fu Chian,\" or field tax, and sent officials to establish an office. The tax was 150 dollars per mou, the total being 700,000 dollars.\n\nI append separately a list for your inspection. In this way, he showed his contempt for friendly nations and injured the work of opium prohibition. He aimed merely at profit and did great injury to the district. The proofs of this are very strong and thousands of eyes have seen it. On the 14th March, I sent telegrams to the Chinese Government, to various organisations, various opium prohibition offices, and various societies requesting them to act impartially and make representations to General Li. However, although this is a matter of supreme importance, Chinese officials still show leniency owing to questions of \"face.\" The condition arises, then, that by cunning and fair words, matters are glossed over and the case allowed to close, thus deceiving friendly nations. I am a Chinese subject and in my heart, I realise the danger. I venture to inform you in the hope that you gentlemen, who possess great influence, will be very sympathetic towards this disgraceful state of affairs, and I dare recklessly, therefore, to request you to make strong representations to the Chinese Government and General Li in order to prevent powerful officials from daring to aid the planting in this open manner.\n\n## Enclosure 5 in No. 53\n\n**Consul Phillips to Sir B. Alston.**\n\nSir,\n\nFoochow, May 12, 1921.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch of the 18th April, I have the honour to quote below, from a letter dated the 19th March, 1921, written to the American consul, by Mr. George W. Hollister, an American missionary resident at Hsienyu, Fukien, on the subject of opium cultivation in Hsienyu district:\n\nRecently, Mr. Carson and Mr. Winter, from Hsinghua city, and I made a trip over the Hsienya districts.

Alston to the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston**—(Received August 29.) (No. 389.)\n\nMy Lord,\n\nPeking, July 11, 1921.\n\nIN continuation of my despatch No. 180 of the 1st April, I have the honour to report on the political situation in this country since that date.\n\nIn Szechuan and Yunnan there has been no change. In the former province Liu Hsiang has had his position as Commander-in-chief of troops (which is temporarily combined with that of Civil Governor) confirmed by a so-called \"election;\" fighting which took place between the troops of Liu Ts'un-hou and their opponents has now ceased, but the province is still much disturbed, as described in my despatch No. 316 of the 18th June. In Yunnan, likewise, the conditions remain unsettled.\n\nIn Canton the dispute between Ch'en Chiung-ming and Sun Yat-sen terminated, temporarily at any rate, in the victory of the latter, who, on the 7th April, was elected by the \"Rump\" Parliament at Canton as President of the Republic. Hostilities between Kuangtung and the adjoining province of Kuangsi broke out about the 20th June. While the forces attacking the latter province by the West River route have succeeded in capturing the important city and port of Wuchow, they have not been successful in other directions, principally in the neighbourhood of Yamchow and Limchow, cities not far from the treaty port of Pakhoi; the Kuangsi forces have evidently concentrated their efforts in this direction in order to obtain independent access to the sea, which they do not normally possess.\n\nTurning to the province of Hupei, a mutiny of troops occurred at Ichang on the 4th June, resulting in the destruction by fire or looting of nearly all Chinese merchandise and property of value left after the mutiny of the 30th November last, and also causing much loss to British and other foreign merchants; full accounts of this event were given in my despatches Nos. 361 and 377 of the 28th June and 4th July respectively. Four days later the Military Governor's own troops mutinied and looted at Wuchang, the provincial capital, as reported in my despatch No. 363 of the 29th June. As a result General Wang Chan-yuan's position, bolstered up though it may be by his colleagues of Chihli and Mukden, has been much weakened, and it is doubtful how much longer he will be able to maintain his position in the face of threatened revolt by political parties opposed to him as well as by his own subordinates, among whom his butchery of 1,700 unarmed mutineers after the Wuchang mutiny has done nothing to enhance his reputation.\n\nOn the 25th May the President issued a mandate removing from his position the Military Governor of Shansi, Ch'en Shu-fan, who has for some years maintained and enriched himself by the proceeds of opium grown in his province, and appointing Yen Hsiang-wen, a subordinate of Wu Pei-fu, to succeed him. His successor has entered Shensi province with the assistance of numerous troops, who have on occasion had to fight troops owing allegiance to Chen Shu-fan. The intentions of the latter are not as yet clear; while he has made military dispositions, as if preparing to resist his successor, he continues to declare his readiness to hand over charge to Yen as soon as the latter reaches Taiyuan. There are grounds for the opinion that his desire is to delay his departure until he has received funds naturally coming to him from the opium harvest, which is now being gathered in.\n\nThe conference which took place at Tien-tsin at the end of April and beginning of May between the Military Governors of Mukden, Chihli and Hupeh, was succeeded by a visit of the three satraps to Peking, where they called upon the President and indulged night after night in gambling for huge sums of money. They finally returned to their homes at the end of May, taking with them sums which are believed to vary between 600,000 dollars and 3,000,000 dollars, which they had wrung from the so-called Central Government. The last-named sum is stated to have been obtained by Chang Tso-lin, who has accepted the position of Military High Commissioner for Mongolia and the duty of recovering that region for China, though it is stated that he still refuses to ...\n\nPage 566 \n`[6735 -2]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492121, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 51, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "March 25th, 1928.]\n\n\"No. 2 cook, and a makee learn,\" several house and market coolies, not to mention fa-wongs, chair-coolies at least,—stores in cup-board, all the material—and no magic ring of knowledge to apply it. The poor taipan husband, formerly so proud of his beautiful and socially successful wife, climbed down one more step of his unassailable ladder of \"no surrender\"\n\nevery time he arose from his table, on which cut-glass and silver and choice flowers mingled with Lazenby's tinned-foods, charred mutton and soup tablets, what time the men who had domesticated (and not necessarily \"homely\") wives or who, perhaps, being grass widowers or bachelors, took their meals at the Hongkong Club or Hongkong Hotel, said: \"Starvation before Surrender.\"\n\nN.B. The husband of the social star was more influential than the men who were well-fed.\n\nTalking of hotels and clubs, they do say that cold meat will get the cold shoulder for many a long day to come, and that the cold tide took a longer time to subside at the club than anywhere else in Hongkong. Many of the members wonder if the innovation of pretty girl-helpers could not be kept up; they say there would not be any cold shoulders in such a contingency.\n\nStories from hotels and boarding-houses come in shoals. Some of the boarders in a big establishment were very indignant when the proffered aid of soldier-cooks was refused on the ground that the boarders were managing quite nicely. Of course, it is quite possible that the management may have realised that the soldier-cooks, being defenders of the realm, might be needed elsewhere, while the women had an excellent opportunity of showing that they were not only able but eager to step into a breach and for once get the opportunity of showing their men-folk that they could be something better than a parasitical growth, battening on other people's labour and returning nothing but a pretty appearance and an insatiable appetite for amusement.\n\nA juster cause for complaint was that of the boarders in those establishments where the management simply declined to be bothered, saying, in effect: \"Each man for himself and the women for us all.\" It is rumoured that in some cases the boarding-house keeper did not scruple to take full advantage of the organised efforts of the boarders to cater for all and sundry.\n\nOn the whole, however, things went merrily, and if the strike had lasted another week I think numbers of women in Hongkong, barring those with young families, would have refused to take their servants back. I heard of one emergency mess where the returned cook's first meal was greeted with very wry faces, and if you want to know what mess I mean you will not have to search far.\n\nIt was in a very well-organised centre and three very capable women were doing the cooking for thirteen people; not one of the thirteen ever wants to eat Chinese cooking again, but noblesse oblige and if you are gentlefolk, why you are and there is an end of it; you have jolly well got to keep servants, your position demands it, and you have got to leave to the working classes their little atom of compensation in life, that of knowing that they are getting value for their money and not eating bad food at top prices.\n\nGreat fun it seems to have been to go shopping at the Peak Hotel, where, unless you signed a requisition order for milk or meat or bread, you could not be served, not even if your husband's banking account ran into lakhs.\n\nRather amusing, too, was Lane, Crawford's barricade. They had my sympathy, those much-abused assistants tearing their hair and rushing frantically from sugar to flour, consulting papers, and piling up the parcels, till at last they created a barricade of screens and one man sat at a table and took all the orders and tried to look as if he loved the frantic women. I had to laugh when, on a bed of sickness some days afterwards, I read that stores laid in during the strike might not be returned, for I know that many recklessly extravagant orders were given with the mental proviso that, after all, we are jolly good customers and they will take back what we do not use!\n\nI nearly forgot to say that another factor in the strike settlement was said to be flues. I can quite imagine why! While I was ill I used to lie in my bed and wonder if an army of plague rats was scuttling down my chimney, but it was just soot, and it came down in torrents and settled on the floors and everywhere, so that if my kind volunteer nurses and house-maids had wanted to skimp work they simply could not. Some of the Peak taipans had terrible times when they cleaned the kitchen grates and made the daily fire—all the wood was damp, coal sodden, grates rusted overnight, impenetrable fog on all sides. Ough! One who looks as if nothing in the way of good solid work could frighten him found a very obstinate kitchen-range one day, so he searched for cause and effect (great minds always do). He remembered on some occasions seeing his cook blow up the flue to clear the soot away, so he proceeded to do likewise. He blew, so did the wind, down came a cloud of soot. Stunned and staggering, he fell back bang on to the back of his head, rushed from the kitchen, clothed himself in garbs of cleanliness and decency, and caught the first tram and motor-car to Government House and found His Ex. in an early morning state of bliss (my informants do not state whether His Ex. had also been cleaning grates), and demanded: \"For the love of a blazing fire stop the strike.\"\n\nIn conclusion, let me say that we have all had a very hard time, but most of our women have lost the Hongkong expression; there is a look of lively interest and healthy fatigue on many a face that was disfigured by boredom and a smile of superiority. Women have learned that even the best of servants think first of themselves and their employers second—even when the servants are amahs and have the care of their most precious possessions—and a good many golfing-bridging mothers have made resolutions to sacrifice a certain portion of each day to the duties of controlling their homes and their children.

According to investigation, there were more than eight hundred \"Hongs\" organising different independent associations in the city last year. The organising of such associations simply leads the way to improve the workmen's livelihood, and strikes for increasing of wages were occasionally initiated. The various strikes last year ended successfully. The strikers made a solid stand in the fight for their rights. Their achievements were only personal movements. No outsiders interfered or gave assistance to them.

Attempts have been made to describe this as a voluntary display of sympathy on the part of those concerned. Nothing can be further from the truth. As evidence of the falsity of this pretension\n\nI will cite the case of my own servant for Shameen was also involved\n\na native of Chekiang, who has been with me for twenty-two years, and who certainly had no sympathy either with seamen or Cantonese agitators,\n\nUnder a threat that he and his family of five would be assassinated, unless he quitted my service, he would, unless a settlement had been arrived at, have had to leave the island. So it was with the great majority\n\nof the servants of Hongkong. Forced to leave their employment, in many cases without money and without the means of finding shelter, they had\n\nno alternative but to try and find their way out of the Colony. During the exodus they resisted the police and some unfortunately found their death - house servants and cooks, who had nothing whatsoever to do with the seaman's strike, but who had been intimidated and hounded out of their employment by the unscrupulous agents of the Kuo kin tang, to whom, as I have stated above, the ultimate responsibilities for their death belong.\n\n11. As agitators must live and, so far as I can gather, must live well, agitation must from their point of view continue and their dupes supply them with funds. (The seamen having obtained an increase of wages, were at once called upon to pay the major portion of such increase into the party funds, a demand which led to disruption). But to allow irresponsible and in some cases criminal, agitation to be carried on unchecked is what no self-respecting Government can put up with, nor any civilized community tolerate. That even in Canton this is realised would from a recent newspaper report, according to which Your Excellency and the Garrison Commander were said to be devising means for preventing mobs from storming police stations and rescuing prisoners.\n\n12. I have gone into this question perhaps at undue length, but what I have written is merely a reiteration of what I stated verbally to Genoa Ch'en, when discussing the Shameen affair with him, and he was inclined to agree with much of what I said.\n\nA continuation of resistance to lawfully constituted authority on the part of an ill-informed and illiterate mob is inimical to the best interests of both Chinese and foreigners, and once a Government allows itself to be mounted on the back of a communistic tiger, a descent from the animal's back is by no means easy.\n\nI have etc.\n\n(sd) J.W.

Macleay\n\nPeking, April 10, 1923.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward you herewith some notes in connection with a visit I recently made to General Wu Pei-fu at Loyang.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nH. B. ORPEN-PALMER, \nMilitary Attaché,\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1\n### Notes respecting a Visit to General Wu Pei-fu at Loyang\n\nI ARRIVED at General Wu Pei-fu's camp, some 2 miles west of Loyang city, on the afternoon of the 31st March, and was received at the railway siding by a guard of honour and band and by General Wu's aide-de-camp and secretary, with whom I drove to the general's headquarters in a motor car, part of the spoils of his victorious campaign against Chang Tso-lin last year.\n\n2. The camp is situated about 1 mile south of the railway, and is about 1 mile in length by ... in breadth. The barracks are built in four parallel lines with ample room between the lines for parade grounds. At present the ground surrounding the camp is entirely open, but if the general persists in his afforestation scheme, it is only a question of a few years before it will be thickly wooded.\n\nLater in the afternoon I was received by General Wu in his office, where he was hard at work conducting official correspondence. General Wu's method of receiving visitors is a somewhat peculiar one, as during the whole course of the interview he was busy reading and dealing with despatches, telegrams, &c., explained to me that he was forced to adopt this method, as otherwise he could not get through his work. I could, however, ask him any questions I liked, and he would endeavour to answer them to the best of his ability.\n\n3. During the course of the interview I asked the general some more or less leading questions regarding those provinces where fighting was now taking place, or where it might break out during the year. The general answered very frankly and, as far as I could judge, sincerely.\n\nThe following are the opinions he expressed regarding the provinces named: \n| Province | Opinion |\n| --- | --- |\n| Szechuan | He thought that Yang Sen (whom he had assisted with arms, ammunition, &c.) would be successful in the present struggle. Yang had some 30,000 men under him, and was making good progress. Even if successful Yang would not be appointed Military Governor. Liu Ts'un Hou would fill that post. |\n| Kuangtung | Sheng Hung Ying, who was appointed Military Governor by Presidential mandate on the 20th March, 1923, had accepted the post, but had telegraphed Wu that he did not think it politic to make his acceptance public at the present time. General Wu expressed his opinion that as long as Sun Yat-sen remained in power at Canton, reunification of the country was impossible. |\n| Manchuria | General Wu said that the Peking Government had now nothing to fear from Chang Tso-lin as the latter had as much as he could do to protect himself (and the C.E.R.) from the Bolshevik menace. He did not think that as matters stood there was the slightest chance of Chang again coming south, and personally, he had now no intention of interfering with Chang so long as the latter remained in his own dominions. |\n| Fukien | General Sun Chuan Fang had taken over the duties of Military Governor having been appointed to that post by mandate of the 20th March, 1923. It was only a question of days before he would be in possession of Foochow: the province, therefore, had now been recovered for the Central Government. |\n| Chekiang | Lu Yung Hsiang, although he is commonly reported to be pro-Anfu and a supporter of Tuan Chi Jui, was in reality not so. Asked if he had any fear of Chekiang joining any combination of provinces against himself, General Wu said \"no,\" and gave as his reason that the only troops in Chekiang that counted were the IVth (National) Division. This division was officered almost entirely by ex-officers of his own IIIrd Division, and he was confident, therefore, that he had nothing to fear from Lu Yung Hsiang. |\n\n4. General Wu referred on two occasions to his proposal that the five Chinese gunboats now in Canton waters be allowed to refit at Hong Kong before coming north. On the first occasion he asked me to let him know exactly how the matter stood, and expressed his thanks and appreciation for the action of the Legation in approaching the Governor of Hong Kong in connection with his proposal. That he attached considerable importance to this matter was evident from the fact that on the day following my arrival he again, in the presence of Mr. Pai Chien-Wu, the head of his Administrative Department, asked me to explain in detail exactly how matters stood. On this occasion he stated that in order to show it was his *bona fide* intention not to employ the gunboats on his behalf in the event of civil war breaking out, he would be quite content for them to be interned at Hong Kong until the reunification of the country was completed.\n\n5. During the interview on the day of my arrival, General Wu received and read a despatch which stated that it was reported on good authority that the Government of Hong Kong was prepared to make a loan of 2 million dollars to Sun Yat-sen. He was considerably perturbed over this report, and said that if it was true it would enable Sun to consolidate his position and possibly start hostilities, and would thereby interfere seriously with his plans for reunification. He then asked me definitely if there was any truth in the report. In reply I told him that it was nonsensical to think that the Government of Hong Kong would do anything of the kind; our policy was strict neutrality in connection with China's civil wars and internal affairs; at the same time I pointed out that Hong Kong no doubt possessed many rich Chinese merchants, &c., who might be supporters of Sun's and it was possible that they were prepared to advance him money.\n\n6. The 1st April being Sunday, there was no parade of troops. General Wu took the opportunity of showing us the trees which he had planted in the vicinity of his camp and also the bridge now in process of construction over the Lo Ho. He told me that he had already planted 800,000 trees and intended to plant in all some 3,000,000, a somewhat colossal task. He is deeply interested in arboriculture and during the three and a half days spent at Loyang he frequently discussed the various varieties of trees that did well in China, the nature of the soil, &c., suitable for ...\n\nPage 322 \n1-1] \n\n## Previous Text\n### S. F. MAYERS\n\n(No. 9.) Sir,\n\n**Confidential**\n\nA **Shantung** man, a fellow provincial of Wu Pei-fu. Whoever it is will have to do whatever Wu Pei-fu wishes.\n\nWu Pei-fu is the guiding brain of the Chihli party. He is the strategist, who makes the plans for carrying out the policy. The policy is to reunify the country. This can only be done by force, as may be seen by considering for a moment the alternative means, namely, reunification by conciliation. What do the professed supporters of that alternative method suggest? That each province should be autonomous, which is nonsense. How can there be eighteen Chinas or twenty-two Chinas? These people who advocate such nonsense are political grafters, who want to multiply the number of Governments by eighteen or twenty-two in order that the number of jobs under Government should be similarly multiplied.\n\nSo soon as the new Government, under **Tsao Kun's Presidency**, is established, the mandates of Peking will be effective throughout the country, which will be administered for a time under the supervision of military inspectors-general appointed by and responsible to Peking. Disbandment of superfluous troops and suppression of brigandage will at once be undertaken. Financial reconstruction will similarly be taken up immediately. Within a year there will be a strong Central Government. **Tsao Kun** is not a clever man. Foreigners would class him as ignorant, as he knows nothing of world affairs, but in Chinese military circles his authority is immense, and his word is law. He leaves the making of plans to Wu Pei-fu, who is very intelligent. The object which the latter holds in view is to make China strong, in order that she may be able to resist Japanese domination. In pursuit of this purpose he insists that there must be an effective national army and navy, good communications, and financial reform, and that all must be conducted by a strong Central Government. He is the opponent of provincialism, but he is reasonable and agrees that provinces must be left to manage their purely local affairs. The question of monarchy is no longer discussed, but the form of popular Government will have to be managed and moulded by a few, otherwise China will share the fate of Russia.\n\nS. F.

At about 11 a.m. on the date in point, the master of the Tuen Tai Tean went to Sha Tau Kok Police Station and informed Lance Sergeant Knowles that Strikers were again engaged in raiding his shop with the intention of seizing and removing everything therein, including the pigs not seized by the Strikers in the first raid.\n\nLance Sergeants Knowles and Clarke, with 7 Indians, at once proceeded to a point about 600 yards to the rear of Sha Tau Kok Market, where they observed about 80 coolies, in charge of about 15 armed Strikers, proceeding along the frontier road carrying pigs and bundles done up in matting, with the intention apparently of making for Shan Chun via the Lin Ma Hang Gap. Lance Sergeant Knowles knew that it would be impossible for him to open fire on the escort, as the latter had interspersed themselves amongst the coolies. However, happening to observe a Striker at some distance from the main party, Lance Sergeant Knowles fired a shot at him, whereupon the main party halted, the escort compelling the coolies to return with their loads to Sha Tau Kok.\n\nSome villagers then informed Lance Sergeant Knowles that a party of Chinese soldiers were posted on the hill behind San Tsui Village, within British Territory. Immediately afterwards, a ragged rifle fire was opened on the Police from this quarter, some 50 rounds in all.

In Peking, the Protocol Powers have recognised Tuan Chi Jui and the provisional government provided they agree to recognise China's Loans and Treaties with Foreign Powers. Sun Yat Sen has now arrived in Tientsin and it is reported that Chi Hsieh Yuan of Nanking has fled to Shanghai. There are rumours that Feng Yu Hsiang's resignation is definite and he will shortly leave for abroad. Should this be true, it is possible that matters in the North will be simplified.\n\n14. In Szechuan, trouble appears to be brewing; Yang Sen, who conquered this province on behalf of Wu Pol Fu in 1923, is gradually losing his hold, and his generals are acquiring spheres of interests in the province. Moreover Hsiung Ki Wo, whom Yang Sen defeated, is reported to be active and desirous of revenge. Any trouble in Szechuan might affect British trade interests on the Upper Yangtze.\n\n16. The situation in Canton area has been peaceful during the last month. Sun Yat Sen in the gunboat \"Wing Fung\" arrived in Hongkong on the 16th November on his way North to join the Conference in Tientsin to which place he proceeded via Shanghai and Japan, where he delivered speeches on the subject of Asia for the Asiatics.\n\nPiracy...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 501046, "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": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "page_number": 73, "title": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "content_text": "THE CHINESE DISORDERS.\n\nITISH LABOUR MISLED.\n\nPEKING FEAR OF EXTREMISTS.\n\nPOWERS' DUTY,\n\nfurther outrages are reported from Anxiety still persists, however, ially in regard to the Yangt.sze\n\nthe House of Commons yesterday A.

The questions in the British Parliament d the telegrams from the Independent abour Party and the Trades Union Hongre expressing sympathy with the workers of China in their struggle with apital, betray a total misconception of the origin of the present crisis. It is safe to say that not 2 per cent. of the original dispute is due to dissatisfaction on the part of Labour with the conditions in the foreign mills, which, though doubtless capable of improvement in some points, are unquestionably far superior to those of the Chinese mills. In regard to the disturbances at the Japanese mill, overwhelming evidence has accumulated that these were the direct result of the work of political agitators, and they wore not reproduced in other mills.\n\nAs for the child labour question, the only way in which it is involved is exactly the reverse of what is supposed abroad. The offence of the foreigners is not that they employ children but that they Tho propose to employ them no longer. agitators persuaded parents that the employers were plotting to turn out the children, sweat the parents, and save on wages. Of course, directly workers were called out on strike there was abundant inflammable material ready for a riot, but it can be asserted that without political machination there would have been no strike.\n\nApart from the usual student demon-strations, the Yangtaze Valley has been reported quiet the past two days, but the Chinesa of the better order are in-creasingly nervous owing to the craven yielding of the Peking Government to the extremists. One informant, whom I have quoted before and always found trustworthy, says the increasing fear among the Chinese of an ultimate explo.sion along the Yangtare Valley is com-parable to that of the Boxer year. He adds that the only effective prevention is a strong display of naval force by the Powers along the river.\n\n\"RED\" HELP FOR CHINESE.\n\n(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nRIGA, JUNE 18,\n\nThe Red trade unions have sent the Chinese revolutionaries another £8,000, and the society for assisting distressed Communists abroad have sent Shanghai strikers a further £3,000.\n\nPROTECTION OF FOREIGNERS.\n\nthe\n\nPEKING, June 16-As a result of the foreign representation urging protection, the Government has brought in numbers of General Feng Yu-hsiang's troops to It has also posted patrol the city. pickets outside the principal offices of foreign firms and foreign residences.\n\nChang Teo-lin, who had been con-templating sending troops to Peking for some time, dispatched some to-day, and the first companies arrived this afternoon, occupying the Yellow Temple outside the North Gate.\n\nThe Ministry of Communications, in all circular telegram to-day, orders special protection for all foreign employees in the Ministry and foreign travellers on! the railways, and orders the dispatch of efficient police for this purpose.- Reuter,\n\nHANKOW, June 16-Of the seven Bol-ahevist agitators arrested by the Chinos authorities, one was shot by them this morning-Reuter\n\nFOOCHOW, June 16.-The students here are urging the Chinese employed by foreigners to strike, and are appealing to the Merchants' Guild to support the strikers.

SHANGHAI, June 16. The British Consul General this morning made vigorous protest to the Civil Governor and the Foreign Commissioner with regard to the murder of Mr. Williams Mackenzie. [A report of the murder appeared in The Times yesterday.]\n\nMiss Duncan, who Was with Mr. Mackenzie when he was murdered, and who was herself wounded, in relating her experiences said :—\n\nWe encountered seven Chinese dressed liks coolles who stopped us near the Great Western Road Extension. Mr. Mackonale asked thema what they wanted, but the Chinese only laughed, at the same time turning the light of electric torches upon us. Mr. Mackenzie got out of the car, and speaking both in English and in Chinese, ordered the men to get out of the way. Thereupon one of the Chluamen fired and Mr. Mackenzie ran back, jumped into the car and started the engine. It then seemned as if all the Chinese opened fire together, and Mr. Mackenzie lurched forward, telling me that he had been shot and was dying. Meanwhile the car had gained speed, and se he fell I took the wheel and steered the car while the Chinese kept on Bring.\n\nMiss Duncan, who had only once or twice handled a car before, drove the car with Mr. Mackenzie's body in it for nearly three-quarters of a mile into the settlement, the car finally falling into a wide ditch.\n\nMiss Duncan shouted for aid, but, failing to attract attention, ran to a house occupied by two Shanghai Volun teers, who communicated with the police. Mr. Mackenzie was hit by four bullets, one of them severing the jugular vein. The police found on the roadside near the scene of the murder 12 32 calibre empty cartridge cases.-Reuter.\n\nBRITISH COMMERCE AND CHINA.\n\nPLEA FOR CONFERENCE. The Association of British Chambers of Commerce have adopted a resolution which has been transmitted to the Prime Minister, stating their satisfaction that steps are being taken in agreement with the other Powers to bring about a peace-ful solution of the present troubles in China, and adding:\n\nThe association urge his Majesty's Govern-ment to arrange at the earliest possible date with the other Powers interested a conference i with the representatives of the different pro-Places of China with a view to bringing about a Jermanent and satisfactory settlement in that buntry.\n\nFRENCH NAVAL CHANGE IN FAR EAST.

He confessed that neither of these things had yet been done.\n\nSubsequently, the agitators started distributing inflammatory leaflets in the concessions. One of the men caught in the act was arrested by the French Consul and handed over to the Chinese Police, but I have not heard what became of him. They also took to visiting the Shameen employees, calling on them with threats to cease work again. What the employees' attitude was towards such incitements may be gauged from a copy and translation of the enclosed letter addressed by them to the French Consul, together with one of the leaflets referred to above (Enclosure 4).\n\nAt the same time, warnings were being given and letters were being sent to a number of individual employees, threatening them or their families unless they left their work.

The principal consuls accordingly represented to their Ministers that the Consular Body be authorised to refuse the asylum of the settlements during the present troubles to all Chinese military commanders, the latter being defined as all officers holding, or who had recently held, the rank of general, as well as to their political intermediaries. As a result of a meeting of the Diplomatic Body a reply was despatched to the senior consul in the form of a resolution adopted by the foreign representatives to the following effect :-\n\nResolved that with a view to maintaining the neutrality of Shanghai, and for the protection of foreign life and property therein, the Consular Body are authorised, as an emergency measure and during the continuance of fighting and the presence of bodies of troops near Shanghai (but no longer), and without referring the matter to the Diplomatic Body, in their discretion to expel from the international settlement (or to refuse admission thereto) Chinese military leaders (being any officer with the rank of general now or recently having active command of troops), and political chiefs who serve as the intermediaries of such militarists, who may, in the opinion of the Consular Body, use the settlement for fitting out military expeditions or otherwise as a base of military operations. or for political agitation.\n\nIt was understood that the French Minister would send similar instructions to his consul-general in regard to the French concession. At the same time the consuls were reminded of the directions of the Diplomatic Body when a similar question arose in November on Sun Yat-sen's arrival in Shanghai, to the effect that Chinese military or political leaders arriving at Shanghai or already installed there should be amicably but clearly warned by the foreign authorities concerned that no political or military activity on their part would be allowed, and would be followed by an immediate request to leave (see paragraph 5 of my despatch No. 757 of the 29th November). It subsequently transpired that the French authorities were making difficulties about the precise interpretation of these instructions (in accordance with their customary tendency to keep on good terms with all parties and factions), but the Dean's telegram has been transmitted by the consuls concerned to the municipal council of the international settlement for the necessary action.\n\n13. The question of the removal of the arsenal, which constitutes one of the principal bones of contention attracting rival Chinese militarists to contend for the control of the Shanghai area, has of course long been on the tapis, and I had made representations on the subject last autumn to the Minister for Foreign Affairs (then Dr. Koo), who had received them sympathetically, and had stated that Marshal Wo Pei-fu intended to deal with the matter of the removal as soon as hostilities ceased. On the 17th December the senior Minister had handed in at the Wai-chiao Pu the following memorandum :-\n\nDuring the last few years the vicinity of the international settlement of Shanghai has repeatedly been the scene of fighting between contending Chinese armies.\n\nWith a view to affording protection to foreign life and property as well as to the lives and properties of the peaceful Chinese inhabitants of the settlements, the foreign Powers have on several occasions been compelled to take various military precautions.\n\nThe foreign Powers are thus often placed in an extremely embarrassing position, and it is evident that it would be far better for them, as well as for China, if ways and means were found to avoid in future that the immediate neighbourhood of the settlement at Shanghai become again the scene of military action.\n\n\"This could be attained by the removal of that part of the Kiangnan arsenal which manufactures military supplies, and of the Lunghua powder factory. which latter, moreover, constitutes a perpetual danger to the ever-increasing number of dwelling houses in its neighbourhood.\n\nThese two institutions are the prize for which the contending parties always strive in every conflict, and which make military operations on a large scale in the surrounding country of Shanghai a foregone conclusion whenever hostilities break out between the military chiefs of the Lower Yang-tsze region. \"The removal once and for all of the Kiangnan arsenal and the Lunghua powder factory from the immediate vicinity of Shanghai to some more suitable locality in the Province of Kiangsu, more remote from China's greatest shipping port and commercial centre, would not only remove a source of frequent anxiety for the community of Shanghai, it would also relieve the foreign Powers of an unpleasant and embarrassing duty, and would finally contribute in no small measure to the consolidation of friendly relations between the Chinese Central Government and the Powers.\n\nThese reasons seem to the heads of Legation of sufficient weight to warrant their suggestion to the Chinese Government to take this matter into serious consideration, and to devise means to ensure in this way peace and tranquillity to Shanghai and its neighbourhood.\n\nWhen the matter was brought up again last month the Peking Government themselves took the initiative by issuing on the 15th January a series of mandates abolishing the post of Defence Commissioner at Shanghai, ordering the cessation of all military work at the arsenal and its transfer to civilian control as an industrial undertaking, and directing that in future no troops were to be stationed at Shanghai nor any military organ set up there; and on the 17th January the Wai-chiao Pu replied to the senior Minister's memorandum above referred to in a communication quoting the texts of the above mandates, and adding that from the date of their publication no troops whatsoever would be allowed under any pretext to make Shanghai and its neighbourhood the scene of military operations, and expressing the hope of the Chinese Government that the Powers would sympathise with and approve of this intention. At the time these steps were taken Shanghai and the arsenal were in the hands of Ch'i Hsieh-yuan, who was in rebellion against the Central Government, and the issue of the mandates in question was obviously a gesture designed to enlist foreign support. The Manchurian forces having now recovered control of the locality on behalf of the Peking Government, it remains for the latter to carry their good intentions into effect.\n\n14. There remain to chronicle during the month Chang Tso-lin's departure from Tien-tsin on the 11th January, and his arrival back in Mukden on the following day; and Wu Pei-fu's arrival at the beginning of the year with a handful of troops at Hankow, whence he proceeded down river to a locality in the neighbourhood. He does not seem to have played any part in Ch'i Hsieh-yuan uprising, and appears to have withdrawn for the time being unmolested into retirement.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nR.

Tripier, Counsellor of the French Legation at Peking, Britain was represented by Mr. Vereker, First Secretary of H.M. Legation at Peking, and America, Japan, Belgium and Italy were represented respectively by Messrs. G. Greene, Shigemitsu, Ullens de Schooten and Mendola.\n\nThe Report blamed:—\n\n(1) The British Police Officer who ordered the Police to fire on the strikers.\n\n(2) The British Chief of Police, Colonel MacEwan, who did not take command on account of absence.\n\n(3) The American Chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Council, Mr. Fessenden, held to be legally responsible.\n\nThe leakage of the contents of the Report caused great indignation among the British and Americans at Shanghai, and, correspondingly, encouraged the Chinese nationalists in their demands for redress.\n\nThe Shanghai authorities, however, were able to persuade Chamberlain to suppress this report. Fortunately, accounts appeared in the French Press and the evidence which was published in the Chinese Press has also reached this country.\n\nIt is extremely improbable that America will ever allow the indiscriminate bombing of Canton or Shanghai, as the local British merchants and some missionaries urge, and as the Admiralty, with the \"Hermes,\" is prepared to do.\n\nMore and more it is being realised throughout the world that Britain, isolated and alone, is arraigned before the bar of humanity on the charge of manslaughter in the Chinese Amritsars of Shanghai, Hankow and Canton.\n\nThe hopes of the imperialists are now turning to new channels; to diplomatic methods, International Conferences, carefully stage-managed, magnificent resolutions and promises, which are never kept.\n\nIntervention on a grand scale such as the Allies undertook after the Boxer uprising is hardly thinkable. They cannot again march on Peking and sack the palaces. Not only would America never tolerate it, but there is a fundamental difference in the situation. In those days Russia was on the side of England and France; now Russia is the best friend of China and the Russian Ambassador is doyen of the Diplomatic Corps at Peking.\n\nPage 6\n\nRather do the Great Powers pray that Chang Tso Lin, the War Lord of Mukden, will once more play the game of the foreign imperialists. Half a century ago the foreign Powers helped the effete and reactionary Manchus to crush the Taiping Rebellion; and now for a dozen years they have backed and supported the forces of reaction in China. The Re-organisation Loan of 1913 provided Yuan Shih-Kai with millions, which turned him into a military despot, and enabled him to build up a huge army in the North and crush the growing germ of democracy in the South. Later, in the struggle between Wu Pei Fu and Sun Yat Sen, the Powers supported and recognised Wu Pei Fu, while the powerful clique controlling the news from Peking did propaganda against Dr. Sun Yat Sen; and the Chinese subject to British rule in Hongkong were prevented by the Consortium Pact from giving financial aid to Dr. Sun Yat Sen.\n\nAnd when Peking was at its wits' end seeking funds, Chang Tso Lin still had his group of Manchurian banks which could provide him with 50,000,000 dollars when necessary. The Manchurian banks are the Japanese Bank of Chosen, the French Banque Industrielle de Chine at Mukden, and the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank at Harbin. In the last month British agents have had frequent discussions with Chang Tso Lin.\n\nIn the South, Great Britain armed and organised the Anti-Sun Party in Canton, Chan Lim-pak, the compradore of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank at Canton, established a Merchant Volunteer Force, which aimed at overthrowing Sun Yat Sen.\n\nSun Yat Sen protested to the League of Nations and to MacDonald, then Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, but without avail, without even acknowledgment.\n\nRecently documents found on the premises of the general staff of the Yunnanese troops in Canton revealed the existence of a wide-spread plot for the overthrow of the Kuomintang Government and the establishment of a reactionary dictatorship dependent on British and Japanese support. The Commander-in-Chief of the Yunnanese troops in Canton, Yang Shih Ming, escaped on an English boat after the defeat of his army by the Kuomintang troops, and was taken to Hongkong—the centre of counter-revolutionary intrigue.\n\nPage 7\n\n526", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-491 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 502364, "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": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "page_number": 55, "title": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "content_text": "Is it necessary or worthwhile to print all these voluminous despatches and enclosures?\n\nPage 616\n\n14.2.26.\n\nI have spoken to Birkenhead; and think on the whole it is better that these despatches & enclosures (dealing with situation in the Kory) should be printed.

Chung Tak Yan, clerk, Crown Solicitor's Office, is absent from duty. He has been sick lately; he should have been at the office on the 9th inst. I have been in communication with the Hon; Colonial Treasurer. I opened his cash box and found a cheque for $168.75 and $458.24 cash, all Government money, but certain allegations have been made of payments of Government accounts to him, which do not appear in the books. Being satisfied that one, at least, of such allegations is true, I have sworn an Information against him, charging him with embezzlement.\n\n2. Chung Tak Yan was secured to the extent of $1,000 by Tsang Hin Ting and Tong Lan Sang. They have been informed of the unexplained absence of Chung Tak Yan, and that it may be found that a claim must be made against them as sureties.\n\n3. It appears that the shroff has misappropriated Government moneys working on the following system:-\n\nA.B. attends on say; the 1st of the month and pays say $100. This is misappropriated. The item is not crossed off in the relevant defaulters list - as it should be, and the payment is not reported or entered in the books. The shroff cannot get the Crown Solicitor's receipt for the $100 unless he accounts therefor, and the item appears in the books, so he tells A.B. to call again. A.B. is put off until he becomes impatient, then moneys received from C.D. at a later date are appropriated to A.B.'s payment, and the process continues.\n\n4. Lately, strenuous efforts have been made to collect the extraordinary number of items appearing in defaulters list owing to the situation in Colony; such efforts included the sending of letters to every person whose name appeared in a defaulters list, and was not crossed off. It would seem that the shroff anticipated that persons who had paid and who subsequently received a letter of demand would report at once, and fearing dénouement, has disappeared.\n\n5. The extent of the defalcations cannot be estimated at present; at a guess, I should say not less than $2,500.\n\n(Sd). H. J.

Given sufficient time for preparation, the necessary troops and the acquiescence of the other foreign Powers, it might be possible to capture Canton.\n\nOur Canton policy, therefore, from the outset, had to be guided by two considerations (a) assistance from other foreign Powers would be at the best half-hearted, and (b) isolated military action was almost out of the question. We had to adopt a policy of inaction. This seems to have surprised the Canton Government. At least, according to the \"Morning Post\" of the 26th January, 1926:—\n\nImmediately after the Shameen shooting incidents, when ill-feeling was at its highest, the Canton Government expected to be attacked, and have now admitted they had made all plans to retire into the country, leaving the city in occupation of foreign troops. They would then have raised the banner of hatred from north to south and embroiled every nation in the quarrel. This scheme, which probably emanated from Soviet influence, was foiled by our inaction.\n\nHowever, on learning that the Cantonese were strengthening the forts at the mouth of the river, His Majesty's Admiralty despatched the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Hermes to Hong Kong, so as to make sure that communications with Shameen could not be interrupted. H.M.S. Hermes arrived at Hong Kong on the 10th August.\n\n44\n\nThe question of Soviet support to anti-British agitations in China generally, and in Canton in particular, had at once received the careful attention of the Foreign Office. There can be no doubt whatever that both the Third Communist International and the Soviet Government are deeply implicated in the agitation in China, that they have supported such agitation with large supplies of money, arms and munitions, and that they have deliberately directed this agitation in an anti-British channel. The question of counter-action to be taken by ourselves at Moscow in order to secure a cessation of these activities was fully investigated at the end of June.\n\nIt was then decided that diplomatic action (e.g., withdrawal of recognition from Russia) could not be taken on the sole initiative of His Majesty's Government, though we would be ready to consider any initiative from Japan, the United States of America or France on these lines. Our general feeling (see Annex I) was that Bolshevism was its own most effective enemy and would eventually discredit itself in China, as it has done elsewhere. To launch a general attack against the Bolsheviks would exaggerate the importance of their enmity and thus would help to prolong their influence.\n\nMeanwhile, at the beginning of July, the new Canton Government was formed. It consisted chiefly of Kuomintang elements, and it opened its career with a grandiloquent manifesto, announcing that Canton had been under the economic and political domination of Hong Kong, but that a new era of independence and municipal improvement was at hand (see Annex X). It was not until August that the extremists gained complete control at Canton, and throughout July an eventual settlement seemed not impossible. The boycott of \"imperialist\" goods and shipping continued, with great loss, especially to the colony of Hong Kong. In August steps were taken to confine the boycott to British and Japanese goods only.\n\nOn the 13th August, His Majesty's consul-general at Canton telegraphed (Canton telegram No. 10) that three new \"Navigation Rules\" had been published by the Canton Government:\n\n1. Steamers of any nationality except British and Japanese are allowed to ply between various ports provided they do not call at Hong Kong.\n\n2. On entering ports, all vessels must be subject to inspection of labour pickets of the anti-Imperialist Union.\n\n3. Exports of food-stuffs and raw materials prohibited.\n\nGovernment consisted of Hsu Chung-chih (Minister of War); Hu Han-min (Minister for Foreign Affairs); Liao Chung-k'ai (Minister of Finance); George Hau-chien (Minister of Justice). Besides the Government, a regular committee for general affairs was elected consisting of Wang Ching-wei, Hsu Chung-chih, Tan Yen-kai, Hu Han-min and Lin Sen. Liao Chung-k'ai (a violent Communist) was assassinated towards the end of August; and, shortly after Liao's death, Hu Han-min found Canton too hot for him and left on a political mission to Moscow. C. C. Wu has been (and is) head of the municipality, but he assists in the direction of foreign affairs in co-operation with Borodin.\n\nSir J. Jamieson has recently (Canton telegram No. 5 of the 2nd February, 1926) paid an unexpected tribute to this extreme Kuomintang Government, as \"the best Kwangtung has ever had.\"\n\n5\n\nHis Majesty's consul-general suggested that the maritime treaty Powers thus dictated to should immediately institute a blockade at the entrance to the river, which could easily be effected. On the 16th August, the Commodore at Hong Kong telegraphed that a blockade would prevent the importation of munitions of war which had been arriving freely in Canton lately (mostly from Russian sources) and might bring about the overthrow of Bolshevik elements at Canton through popular indignation or otherwise force an issue (Canton telegram No. 11). About the same time, the French Government were suggesting a naval demonstration at Canton.\n\nOn the 20th August, His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking telegraphed (Peking telegram No. 322) that as the \"Navigation Rules\" affected all Powers having ships plying to Canton, he suggested that co-operation of all the Powers concerned would be advisable if the blockade were decided on. At the same time, he did not feel that such an action was either necessary or advisable, or that it would bring about the downfall of the Communist Canton Government. He added that in the opinion of His Majesty's consul-general nothing short of abrogation of the treaties would placate the local Government and end the strike.\n\nOn the 22nd August, the Foreign Office suggested to Peking (telegram to Peking No. 214) the following course of action which should be taken jointly by the Powers: That the attention of the Chinese Government should be drawn to the unjustifiable regulations issued by the Canton authorities in breach of treaty rights, together with a warning that, unless the Chinese Government could secure their withdrawal within a specified time limit, the Powers would be obliged to take further measures; but it was also suggested that if this action further united the Chinese against us, the game might not be worth the candle.\n\nHis Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires replied (Peking telegram No. 329) that according to the Japanese consul at Canton the \"Navigation Rules\" had been issued merely for effect and were not intended to be enforced, and that consequently neither the Japanese Minister nor himself were making any formal protest at present to the Chinese Government, who, besides, professed ignorance of the whole matter. Further, the Japanese Minister had expressed some apprehension at newspaper reports as to the intransigent attitude of His Majesty's Government. His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires expressed his opinion that British business circles were inclined to take too alarmist and exaggerated a view of the whole matter, which did not seem to have developed far enough for so drastic a step as a blockade. In any case, he said, Japanese co-operation was essential, since their shipping was bracketed with ours, and American co-operation highly desirable. He considered that isolated British action would be fatal, and that a joint warning by the British, American and Japanese Governments, with as many others as would join, would certainly be beneficial if it became necessary.\n\n4\n\nAt the same time, His Majesty's consul-general at Canton reported that the Canton Government had informed him that they had neither published nor approved the \"Navigation Rules\" (Canton telegram No. 16). Technically, this may be true, as it has since become manifest that the rules are published and enforced by the strike committees; but at that date (the end of August) the standing and power of the strike committees were by no means so clear as they are now. In any case, the Japanese assurance that these rules were published merely for effect has not turned out to be true—except perhaps as regards Japanese shipping. The rules are the backbone of the anti-British boycott, and have been most strenuously enforced.\n\nMeanwhile, the Foreign Office had received a series of appeals from British firms and from such representative bodies as the China Association and the Imperial Merchant Service Guild, asking for \"action\" as regards Canton. The Colonial Office enquired as to our attitude, and passed on strongly-worded resolutions from the Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, which demanded an immediate ultimatum to Canton followed by strong action. Both British and Chinese interests at Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Government itself impressed upon us that they were threatened with immediate ruin. These enquiries were answered on the following lines:\n\n\"Mr. Chamberlain doubts whether a blockade would do more than provide anti-British propaganda in Canton and the rest of China, but any more drastic action than a blockade he is certain would have a most unfortunate reaction. It must be remembered, too, that we are bound by the Washington China Treaty to full and friendly communication with other Powers concerned before taking any steps affecting the sovereignty and independence of China.

That evening, the Admiral Commander-in-chief telegraphed :\n\n\"I have sanctioned parties being landed in Chinese territory if necessary and consider, in view of frequent use of Bias Bay as base for piracies, including French steamer 'Hanoi' on the 12th November, that action may be necessary to destroy pirate village in Bias Bay (a) if women not recovered and Hong Kong police officials recommend it as the only course to enforce their being surrendered, or (b) if it can be proved from pirates already caught that pirates belong to one special village.\n\n*\n\nThis action was approved by His Majesty's Government on the 17th November. But on the same day a further telegram was received from the Commander-in-chief as follows:-\n\n9\n\nPrisoners state pirate gang consisted of twenty-two men. Reports received up to present are somewhat conflicting, but it appears probable practically all pirates have been accounted for, and that only person missing is passenger who is half-caste British subject, possibly killed or drowned. Naval units have been recalled to Hong Kong.\n\nThe immediate and pressing question of the rescue of the \"Sunning's\" passengers has therefore solved itself without necessitating a landing on Chinese territory, a proposal which, in view of the excited condition of China, was regarded at the Foreign Office with some alarm.\n\nThe general question as to how to deal with the Bias Bay pirates, however, remains. It is now before the Committee of Imperial Defence to decide whether the proposed warning should be addressed to the Canton Government, and, if this warning (as is probable) produces no results, what practical plan of action should be laid down. But before that plan is carried out, the Foreign Office wish to be consulted again as to whether the time and the action are opportune.\n\nForeign Office, November 23, 1926.\n\nV.

At the risk of recapitulating much of what appears in these three memoranda, it will facilitate a complete understanding of the present position if the present memorandum begins with a brief summary of the course of the Tariff Conference.\n\nloans debt.\n\n15\n\nII.\n\nThe Washington Conference in 1921 decided that China should be allowed to levy a surtax of 2.5 per cent. ad valorem on foreign imports (5 per cent. on luxuries) as from such date, for such purposes and subject to such conditions as the present Tariff Conference might determine.\" In the course of the discussions in the sub-committee at Washington, the Japanese delegate, under instructions from his Government, read a statement which he was not at liberty to discuss: \"It is hoped that the countries interested will adopt a practical arrangement whereby the proper use in future of the additional customs revenue will be assured.\" In our opinion, the additional revenue should first be used for the service of the foreign debt, by which, of course, was meant the consolidation of the unsecured\n\nBritish policy with regard to these Washington surtaxes aimed at securing guarantees that something substantial should be accomplished of constructive benefit to China, in particular, for example, the abolition of li-kin. We deprecated turning the Tariff Conference into a debt collecting commission, and we were supported by the American Government in the view that the question of the consolidation of the unsecured debt should be entirely eliminated from the agenda of the conference. At a later stage, we were gradually forced into the position of recognising that, in order to secure support for our constructive policy, it might be necessary to make some concession to those Powers who were only anxious about their debts.\n\nIII.\n\nWhen the Tariff Conference opened, Sir R. Macleay assured us that consolidation of the unsecured debt was regarded by every Power represented, including China herself, as one of the main objects which the conference had to accomplish, and that we could not afford to stand out alone, as we should be accused of trying to wreck the conference and thereby reap much odium all round. Accordingly, we reluctantly consented to join in the attempt to elaborate a scheme for the consolidation of the unsecured debt.\n\nIV.\n\nIn the meantime, the Chinese demand for full tariff autonomy had become more and more violent and insistent, especially after the Shanghai incident of the 30th May, when a wave of nationalism, violently hostile to Great Britain, swept the country from end to end. At this stage, our policy was in very close harmony with that of both America and Japan. We agreed that China's right to tariff autonomy should be recognised in principle, but that tariff autonomy should only be granted gradually and by stages. We desired to implement the promises made at Washington, and we were willing that the scope of the conference should be enlarged so as to permit, if\n\n3681 [15319]\n\nB\n\n527", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 505271, "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": "CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926", "page_number": 537, "title": "CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926", "content_text": "12 \n\ntions for the termination of the boycott, suspended since the end of July, should be reopened. \n\n13. On the 13th September the Governor of Hong Kong sent a telegram to the Colonial Office, in which he reviewed the situation in the light of the developments recorded above. In this telegram he stated, among other things, that he regarded the Cantonese undertakings as obviously insincere, and he disagreed with Mr. Brenan's suggestion for the resumption of negotiations. On the contrary, he considered that the critical situation of the Cantonese forces and the hazardous political conditions in Kwangtung afforded His Majesty's Government a unique opportunity of bringing about the rapid termination of the boycott by independent warlike action, without running more than a minimum of risk of creating an unfavourable effect either upon foreign Powers or on the situation elsewhere in China. He recommended, therefore, that unless satisfactory replies were received within a few days to the consul-general's two notes of the 10th September we should demand within twenty-four hours an undertaking that all British ships on the Yang-tsze and elsewhere would be respected by Cantonese troops, and that all anti-British manifestations on territory controlled by the Cantonese Government should cease forthwith; failing which we should take such action as might seem to us proper. He considered that the mere threat would suffice, but if it did not he submitted that we should then proceed to close the ports of Canton and Swatow by naval action. Sir R. Macleay concurred in Sir C. Clementi's recommendations, and at the same time suggested that His Majesty's Government should consider the desirability of affording moral and material support to Marshal Sun Chuan-fang against the Cantonese forces. \n\n14. His Majesty's Government found themselves unable to agree to these recommendations. It was the considered opinion of the Committee of Imperial Defence in March 1926 that the only practicable measure against Canton would be a blockade; that a blockade would necessitate prior international agreement; and that should such a blockade fail offensive action in China on a large scale was not possible for the British Empire acting alone, and could only be international. Such international co-operation would be impossible to secure. His Majesty's Government also considered that to support Marshal Sun Chuan-fang would involve a reversal of their long-standing policy not to identify themselves with any of the conflicting factions in China, and might involve far-reaching and dangerous consequences. \n\nThe whole situation was again reviewed on the 20th September by the three service Departments, who stated that they were satisfied that the conclusions arrived at by the Committee of Imperial Defence last March continued to govern the situation, both in China generally and at Canton in particular from their respective points of view. This decision was communicated to Sir R. Macleay and Sir C. Clementi on the same day, and they were at the same time informed that the service Departments were considering what, if any, other measures short of a blockade it would be practicable to take in case of necessity. \n\n15. \n\n16. In the meantime, Mr. Brenan reported that he had received fairly satisfactory replies to his two notes of the 10th September and His Majesty's Government decided not to pursue the matter further. \n\n17. On the 18th September there was an important new development. On that date Mr. Brenan received a note from the Cantonese Government stating that arrangements had been made to end the boycott on or before the 10th October (most probably at the end of September), and that the proper Chinese authorities would levy a special consumption tax of 2 per cent. on ordinary imports and 5 per cent. on imported luxuries, together with a special production tax of 2½ per cent. on exports. The customs authorities would be asked to assist in the collection of these taxes. It was explained verbally to Mr. Brenan that the proceeds of these taxes would be used to liquidate the boycott organisation, and that the taxes would be levied on goods of all nationalities. His Majesty's Government were not asked to agree, but simply not to raise objection. \n\n18. About the same time Mr. Brenan reported that the pickets had been removed from the Shameen bridges and the approaching termination of the boycott announced in the Canton press; that the arrangements previously reached for non-interference by the pickets on the river continued to be observed; and that Hong Kong steamers were getting Chinese passengers and deck cargoes. He had some confidence, therefore, that the Cantonese undertakings would be carried out, though it was likely that the agitation against dealing with British goods might continue for some time after the actual raising of the boycott. \n\n13 \n\n19. Sir F. Aglen, the Inspector-General of Customs, who happened to be on leave in this country, was consulted in regard to the Canton taxation proposals. He was, of course, greatly perturbed, and anticipated that if the Powers acquiesced in the levy of these taxes there would be incalculable complications throughout China in regard to tariff and customs problems. His inclination was to refuse to allow the Customs Administration to take any part in the collection of the new taxes unless he were first assured that all the interested Powers were agreeable, but in the last resort he would probably yield to force majeure. \n\n20. In the view of the Foreign Office, however, the paramount consideration was the possibility of a termination of the boycott; and the substitution of these relatively moderate taxes for the much more extensive illegalities of the Strike Committee seemed a small price to pay for the resumption of trade between Canton and Hong Kong, provided, of course, that the boycott was actually raised and that anti-British agitation ceased. It however appeared that the Cantonese Government were carefully distinguishing these proposed taxes from the so-called Washington Surtaxes, to which they are identical in scale, and were insisting that they were to be regarded as purely internal taxes, one of the purposes of which would be to finance the abolition of li-kin. The reasons for this attitude on the part of the Cantonese Government were probably the following:- \n\n(1.) That the revenue accruing from an internal tax is incontestably their own to do as they like with. \n\n(2.) That in regard to internal taxation no question as to the rights of the Central Government can arise. \n\n(3.) That they do not desire to concern themselves with the Washington Surtaxes or, indeed, with Tariff Conference matters at all until they themselves are recognised as the Central Government. \n\n(4.) That even in that event they may, as Nationalists, decline to accept tariff increases from the Powers. \n\n21. \n\nIn these circumstances, it appeared to the Foreign Office that the wisest policy would be to adopt a passive attitude and to wait and see whether the boycott was actually raised before coming to a definite opinion in regard to the levy of the new taxes. Mr. Brenan was accordingly instructed to reply to the Cantonese note of the 18th September by a formal acknowledgment in which he would welcome the assurance given to terminate the boycott on or before the 10th October, but to make no reference whatever to the taxation proposals. He was at the same time given discretion to intimate verbally that the acquiescence of His Majesty's Government in the levy of the new taxes would be dependent upon the taxation being levied on goods of all nationalities and upon the effective calling off of the boycott; that if the Cantonese collected these taxes with the assistance of the Customs the position should be regularised by subsequent negotiations; and that if the Powers acquiesced in the levy of these taxes they would probably be forced to admit similar claims on the part of other local authorities in China, and indeed perhaps to recognise frankly that these taxes were, in effect, the Washington Surtaxes, to which they accurately corresponded in scale. \n\n22. On the 1st October Mr. Brenan reported that he had formally acknowledged the note of the 18th September, but that he had not so far given the verbal explanations described above. He stated that the pickets were gradually being withdrawn, but that he was a little apprehensive lest anti-British agitation should nevertheless persist and make the full resumption of trade impossible. He had therefore confined himself to informing the Minister for Foreign Affairs that, in his personal opinion, the attitude of His Majesty's Government to the new taxation proposals would be dependent upon the extent to which the Cantonese Government curbed this agitation, and he called upon them to issue a proclamation promising protection to those who dealt in British goods. He proposed to defer committing His Majesty's Government any further until he saw how the situation developed. \n\n23. Meanwhile, Sir R. Macleay reported that his foreign colleagues had shown great anxiety to learn what attitude His Majesty's Government were adopting towards the taxation proposals, and enquired what answer he should give them. He was told to reply that His Majesty's Government desired first to be assured that the Cantonese Government really intended to bring the boycott to an end, and that if they found that the boycott was raised they would probably be disposed to acquiesce in the new levies, but that they would require much fuller information than they then possessed in regard to the Cantonese proposals before they could come to a final decision, \n\nD 2 \n\n[15319] \n\n533", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506766, "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": "CO129-499-2 Canton situation- governor's despatches 15-1-1927 - 4-2-1927", "page_number": 78, "title": "CO129-499-2 Canton situation- governor's despatches 15-1-1927 - 4-2-1927", "content_text": "# The CANTON GAZETTE. 廣州日報\nVol. IV No. 853\n\nRegisterd at Canton, China, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1926 民國十五年十二月三十日星期四\n\n## AMERICA FOOLED, WARNS SENATOR; URGES WARSHIPS\nButler advises U.

In a speech Senator Butler vehemently declared that he would persevere vigorously with his endeavours to force Congress to adopt the Naval Committee's programme. He asserted that the United States must build virtually a new navy at a cost of over $400,000,000. \"A high-speed race for naval supremacy is proceeding between the nations and we are in the race. When we scrapped over $300,000,000 worth of the finest warships ever designed we willingly and gracefully dethroned ourselves from the potential position of Mistress of the Seas, and now we are a poor third and likely to be fourth.\" He declared that Americans had been fooled.

The \"Journee Industrielle\" writes that the future is in doubt. It must be known whether the administrations to whom the British Foreign Body brought the late Emperor are regionalists or are inspired by the Soviets or are composed of nationalist elements. The \"Temps\" asks with whom the Powers are to negotiate, and comments that it would be a serious mistake to bet on the problematic victory of one of the factions. Nothing decisive is reported from the meeting of the French Cabinet to discuss Chinese affairs. No decision was reached, it is reported, but it was generally agreed that France will be guided by a policy of liberalism.\n\n## NEW FRENCH CENSUS SHOWS 40,743,851\nParis, December 28.-According to the recent census, the population of France is 40,743,851.

The main troops under Chen I are reported to have crossed the Tsientang River from Siaoshan on the morning of the 27th, and launched an attack upon Chapkow. A severe battle took place at the riverside between Chen's troops and those of Sun Chuan-fang under the command of Meng Chiao-yuet. Reports of guns were heard in the vicinity of Meng Kang Men gate of Hangchow.\n\nAccording to news received here from Regimental Commander Wan through Kung Ilao, Chief of Staff of the 8th Army, Meng's troops have been defeated, and have retreated to Chapkow. While crossing the river in retreat, one of the gunboats conveying troops was sunk following bombardment by the Regiment of Artillery under Chen I, it is reported. Notifications have been issued by Chow Feng-chi in the Eastern part of Chekiang insisting upon the capture of Hangchow within the limit of one week, and the expulsion of Sun Chuan-fang's troops from Chekiang.

The request for the destruction of the walls has come from the merchants and people of the city who wish to recover from the heavy losses incurred during the recent warfare. They believe that an era of prosperity will result from the widening of narrow streets, which can be undertaken if the wall is torn down. Necessary measures have already been taken and surveyors are on the job. A notification has been put up by the local police stations, notifying citizens who contemplate building near the Chang King and Tak Tin gates to postpone building until the wall has been torn down.

Fan Shek-sang backed by three Brigades of well-trained troops in Kwangsi, and the Revolutionary troops in Kweichow and Szechuen under the commands of Chow Hsi-shing and Lai Shen-fei. Gen. Fan will be the Chief Commanding Officer of the allied forces. Some days ago, Gen. Fan came to Canton to participate in the Council of war concerning military operations in Kwangtung, Kwangsi and Yunnan. In an interview with Gen. Li Tsai-sum, Gen. Fan reported on the enlistment of the troops under Lo Shu-chang, Defensive Commissioner in Yunnan, who had raised troops against Tang Chi-yao.

An interview was, however, granted to Mr. Bruno Schwartz, Editor of the Hankow Herald, and Correspondent of the Associated Press, after General Chiang's arrival at Nanchang, and a report of this interview was published.\n\nMr. Schwartz has a reputation as a journalist which precludes the possibility of any suggestion that the account of his interview is a fabrication, while his sympathetic attitude towards the Kuomintang Party, of which General Chiang is so prominent a member, makes it impossible to suppose that in translation he has put an unfavourable colour on the Generalissimo's remarks. The Tientsin Committee of Information are, therefore, confident that the report of this interview reproduced below is substantially correct.\n\nGeneral Chiang Kai-shek is unquestionably the most influential leader of the Kuomintang Party at present in power in South China. It is, of course, impossible to say that all General Chiang's associates would express identical opinions. Possibly many of them would be more guarded in conversation with any foreigner than this outspoken soldier. It is certain, however, that no repudiation of General Chiang's statements has been published, and fair, therefore, to assume that they represent generally the opinion of the present leaders of the Kuomintang Party.\n\n## AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL CHIANG KAI-SHEK.\n\n### (BY BRUNO SCHWARTZ in the Hankow Herald.)\n\nThe revolution which is now in progress by the Nationalist Forces in China will not be completed until all existing treaties with foreign powers will have been abrogated and all Foreign Concessions returned to the Chinese Government, was a declaration made to me in a personal interview with the Commander-in-Chief of the Nationalist Army at his military headquarters at Nanchang, Kiangsi, on Friday afternoon, November 19th.\n\nAccording to General Chiang Kai-shek, the conquering of Wu Pei-fu, Chang Tso-lin, Sun Chuan-fang and other northern militarists, is but a step of the immediate programme of the Northern Expedition. Hand in hand with it goes the determination to remove all supervision from Chinese administrative affairs, such as the Customs, Postal Service, Salt Gabelle, to secure the return of all Foreign Concessions in the country and to declare any and all treaties with foreign powers which were made with previous governments in China null and void. There will be no question of considering and revising existing treaties when the military revolution in China has been successfully completed, declared General Chiang, as all such treaties will summarily be refused recognition by the Nationalist Government.\n\n\"What are your plans with regard to the form of government China will have after the revolution is completed?\" I asked General Chiang.\n\n\"The new government will be based entirely upon the policy laid down by 'The Three Peoples Principles' by Dr. Sun Yat-sen,\" he replied. \"It will be a Committee form of government along the same lines as exists in Russia to-day.\"\n\n\"Where will the Capital of the country be?\" was the next question.\n\n\"The new capital will be at Wuchang,\" was his reply. \"The date for the removal of the bureaux of the government from Canton to Wuchang has not yet been definitely set, but it will be in the near future. General Chiang stated that he himself would come to Wuchang within two weeks, and that it is very likely once the government removes to Wuchang, that city will remain the permanent Capital of China.\"\n\n\"What are your intentions with regard to seeking recognition from the Foreign Powers?\" I next asked General Chiang.\n\n\"Those who are sympathetic with us will extend us recognition without making demands for privileges in return for extending us recognition,\" he replied. \"Such friendly nations, he stated, will relinquish all their special privileges and concessions without question, and will recognize us as a friendly Power. Those who still desire to maintain their special privileges and their Concessions, and those who are not willing to co-operate with us by denouncing all existing treaties with China as unequal and making new treaties upon a basis of entire equality, will be considered by us as unfriendly, and we do not care whether they recognize us or not. Existing treaties will come to an end, however, in the immediate future, recognition or no recognition. We want to be friendly with all other nations of the world, but we are out to stamp down Imperialism,\" the General stated, \"and no unequal treaties will ever be adhered to by us for the sake of securing recognition from Powers with Imperialistic ideas.\"\n\nWith regard to signing new treaties with the Powers, General Chiang Kai-shek stated that the Nationalist Government is ready and willing at any moment to enter into conference with the representatives of the various Powers in China, but was emphatic in declaring that such treaties will have to be made on the basis of equality, entirely without special privileges as have been accorded in the past—that extraterritoriality and similar preferential treatment would be omitted from such new treaties entirely.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-499-2 Canton situation- governor's despatches 15-1-1927 - 4-2-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 507360, "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": "CO129-500-1 Canton situation- governor's despatches 18-5-1927 - 9-6-1927", "page_number": 91, "title": "CO129-500-1 Canton situation- governor's despatches 18-5-1927 - 9-6-1927", "content_text": "## The CANTON GAZETTE \n### Vol. V No. 954 \n#### CANTON, CHINA, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1927 \n廣州日報\n\n## Gov't.

Advance Preceded By Heavy Firing\nShanghai, May 19.—The Nationalists, after capturing Pukow and Wuyi as previously reported, have consolidated their gains, and after heavy firing have driven the Northerners along the Tientsin-Pukow line toward Suchow. It is also stated that the Nationalists have captured Chuchow, gateway to Hsuchow.\n\n#### Another Version\nShanghai, May 19th. The second column of Nationalist troops have taken Chuchow and are steadily advancing northwards along the Tientsin-Pukow Railway.\n\nAs to the war situation in the northern section of Kiangsu, the first column of Nationalist troops crossed the Yangtsze to begin their attack on Sun Chuan-fang's troops on the night of the 17th inst. Heavy firing continued until the morning of the 18th. It resulted in the Nationalists advancing northwards far distant from the River.—(Wah Tez Yat Pao.)\n\n### General Chiang Goes To Shanghai\nFrom Nanking, General Chiang Kai-shek with some money, is order...\n\n#### Strict Prohibition Of Counterfeit Coins\nThe prohibition of the manufacture and circulation of counterfeit coins is again emphasized in a notification of the Ministry of Finance,\n\n### Gov't. To Protect The Interests Of Farmers And Peasants\n**Active Steps Are to be taken to Promote the Welfare of the Toiling Masses**\n\nAt the 29th meeting of the Provincial Executive Council of the 19th inst., the following two proposals were made by Mr. Chen Fu-mu, Commissioner of the Department of Peasantry and Labour, which were passed after some modifications:\n\n#### A. To forbid the collection of rentals in advance:\n1. Commencing from the date of promulgation of the Government order forbidding the collection of rentals in advance, all previous agreements made between the landlords and the farmers stipulating such collection shall become null and void. The rentals should be paid in two instalments to be paid one month after each crop. In case of a year of drought when appeals are to be made to the Government by the farmers for reduction or exemption of rentals, the landlords shall not be permitted to collect the rentals by citing the present rulings.\n\n#### B. To abrogate the Contractor system:\n1. A peasant who himself does not plough but simply re-lets to the farmers a piece of land which he leases from the landlords under contract and collects the rental is called a Farming Contractor.\n2. Commencing from the date of promulgation of the Government order abrogating the contracting system, all previous agreements made between the landlords, contractors, and the farmers, either unexpired or otherwise, shall be null and void.\n3. The contractors shall return the leased lands to the landlords who shall lease them to the respective farmers formerly tilling them at a rental of not more than what contractors previously paid them. Each farmer is, however, limited to take up 100 mows only.\n\n### Significance Of The \"Ching Tang\" Movement Explained By Mr. Lai Lien\n**Tension Increasing Hourly**\n\nHankow, May 18.—Not only is Government Official Chiang Kai-shek's net gradually closing round Hankow, but there is understood to have been a defection of troops in the city itself, and a clash is feared at any moment now.\n\nThe anti-\"Red\" troops have concentrated, it is reliably reported, at the Chinese Rice-course in Hankow, and the opinion is expressed that open hostility between these forces and those loyal to the Hankow Government cannot be delayed.\n\nIn a speech delivered before the members of the Hongkong Branch of the Kuomintang, Mr. Lai Lien, General-secretary to the Chief Political Department, has emphasized the necessity and significance of the recent Kuomintang activities in the clearing out of the Communist elements from the Party.\n\nA free translation of the speech is, in part, as follows:\n\"Comrades, it is a great pleasure to me to attend this meeting and the honour to address you. The Hongkong Branch of the Kuomintang is the vanguard in the struggle between ourselves and imperialism. Hongkong was formerly a part of our territory. After being invaded by the British Imperialists, we have been and still are under the most cruel oppression. Just therefore, we must unite ourselves and resist. The patriotism shown by the Hongkong labourers in the recent strike has voiced a world-wide appreciation.\n\nIt is for this reason that the Hongkong Branch of the Kuomintang is more important than other branch Kuomintangs. In view of this, you members should be united all the more solidly.\n\n### Kweichow Troops Mobilized Against Hankow\nIt is reported that under the instructions of General Hsu Ching-tang, the Commissioner of the Military Department, the 38th Regiment of the 13th Division under General Li Wu-tsze arrived here from Kongmoon on the 17th inst., and will go on its expedition within a few days.\n\nGeneral Yang Sen has telegraphed to the Nanking Government that he has ordered from the Kweichow border a division of troops under his direction to be mobilized at once for Hankow.\n\nGeneral Li Fook-lum of the 5th Army Corps will undertake the work of suppression along the East River.\n\n### Reorganization Of The Canton Branch Of The Political Council\nTelegrams to the Central Government, which says: \"Taking the opportunity I have to make a short report to you regarding the \"Tsing Tang\" movement in Kwangtung. In the vicinity of the East River, a certain section of the peasant corps have been seduced to the road of anti-revolution but this was suppressed in a very short time.\n\nAt a Central Political Conference held on May 17, it was decided that the Canton branch of the Political Council should be reorganized.\n\n### New Supply Of Materials For Telephone Service\nOwing to the shortage of funds, the Telephone Service has been in a bad condition on account of the lack of sufficient materials. Upon the assumption of office as Director of the Administration of Mr. Chen Hok-yuk, efforts have been made for a positive reform. Funds have been raised for the purchase of 1500 yards Swedish Red and White wire for the General Station, and 141 pieces of Japanese red and white wire for the West port Station. In addition to this, 500 cells of the best type have also been bought from America which are moisture-proof and quick in transmission. The workers are now busily making a change with the new stuff and it is believed that the service will be greatly improved hereafter.\n\n### Strikers' Compensation Fund\nWith reference to the $1,500,000 to be raised by the General Chamber of Commerce towards the Compensation Fund for the strikers, it is found that only $250,000 have been collected up to the 18th. All provincial districts are ordered by Commissioner Koo Yin-fan of the Department of Finance to raise within 20 days a sum between $50,000 and a few thousand dollars according to the size of the district. The various guilds will be notified to pay in their proportion within the limited time.\n\n### Removal Of The Educational Executive Association To Nanking\nIt is reported that after the assumption of office by the new members of the Political Council, it was decided to have the Educational Executive Association at Canton removed to Nanking.\n\n### New Appointments In The Municipal Government\nThe following appointments have been made: - Yiew Shi-fun to be Chief of the General Affairs Department; Yung Hok-tung, General-Secretary; Ng Cheok-yu, Accountant.\n\n### The Doomsday Of Wu Pui-fei\nPeking papers report of his new activities and of his contemplated trip to the South Sea Islands are utterly unfounded, says the report.\n\nPage 90\nSingle Copy: 10 Cents $2.00 A Month $24.00 A Year", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-500-1 Canton situation- governor's despatches 18-5-1927 - 9-6-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508511, "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": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 105, "title": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "# Prominent Chinese Politicians from Canton\nThe following is a list of prominent Chinese politicians from Canton who have resided during the past 12 years, when their particular party has been turned out of power in Canton.\n\n| Gov.-General. | Name | Official Title | Date of Office | Period resident in H.K. | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 韶光 | 1.

We do not wish to pursue any course of aggression against the Chinese people. We are there to prevent foreign imperialists and running dogs from creating antagonism among the people of the various parts of our country.\n\n“Three hundred million Asiatics, ruled by Britain in India, are watching China and asking themselves: ‘If 100,000,000 Asiatics can drive the British out of China, why can’t we drive them out of India?’\n\n“Because her prestige in Asia and throughout the Empire requires it, Britain will do whatever she must to maintain her property and prestige in China, because SHE MUST.\n\n“I know that there are many patriotic Chinese people who are trying to evolve a new China inseparable. Moreover, there is no such thing as Northern militarists and Southern militarists. Militarists like Chang Tso-lin, Chang Tsung-chang, Sun Chuan-fang, Wu Pei-fu and others are merely militarists and must be gotten rid of. No matter from what part of China they come, they are militarists.\n\nThe present war now waging in the central part of China is a war between progressive Nationalists and reactionary militarists and NOT between the North and the South, as invariably described by foreign imperialists and running dogs.\n\nChina is one nation-one whole undivided nation. There is no line of demarcation between the North and the South. In fact there is no attitude of watchful waiting.”\n\nThen, there was a report sent out by one of the Chinese news agencies from Peking which summed up the attitude of the Powers nicely, as it shows:\n\n“The attitude of the United States toward China is now and always has been helpful and sympathetic. We have no concessions in China and have never manifested any imperialistic attitude toward China.\n\n“The British Government, it is said, urging this country to join in coercing China. ‘Britain will do anything to maintain her property and prestige in China, because SHE MUST.’\n\n“The American instructions were quite strong. As the attitude of the Five Powers are not identical, there was a potential discord in the meeting, intimate the Peking Chinese students.\n\n“The friendship of America for China has become proverbial. We are friendly to Great Britain, but we are, let us hope, no empire in Asia staked on our people.\n\n“We are there to protect the lives of Americans who follow the instructions and the advice of the Government and to prevent foreign imperialists and reactionary militarists from creating antagonism among the people of the various parts of our country.\n\n“Our soldiers are on the ground to do just one thing—to protect the lives of Americans.\n\n“Our main difficulty here (in China) is the protection of the life and property of our citizens. Our citizens are being concentrated in ports where we can protect them and remove them.\n\n“It is solely for this purpose that our warships and marines are in that territory.\n\n“No, thanks, we are not professional chestnut pullers. We shall not be dragged into a war of the Powers to crush the nationalistic aspirations of the Chinese people.\n\n“We shall leave China to the Chinese, encouraging railway finances, the Department of Civil Affairs has issued a notification yesterday to the effect that hereafter only the policemen on duty protecting the railway will be free of charge and only the Government officials on service with the Canton-Kowloon or Samshui Railway must pay their fares in full.\n\n“To Put Restriction On Free Railway Tickets.\n\n(Continued from Page 1)\n\nInternational League expresses its satisfaction that an agreement has been signed between Great Britain and the Kuomintang Government at Hankow and urges His Majesty's Government:-\n\n1. To continue conciliatory methods for a settlement of all points of difference, independently of the implication of Nationalist authority.\n\n2. To avoid any threats or provocative displays of force, and to withdraw all British troops from China at the earliest possible.\n\n3. To observe strict neutrality in the civil war.\n\nIt further asks the League of Nations or a specially appointed Tribunal, to demonstrate the exact facts.\n\n“The Executive Committee of the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom views with much concern the most recent development of the situation in China.\n\n“It emphasises its conviction that however clear the final disposition of the issue may appear to be, it is a matter for further consideration and not for hasty action.\n\n“The American people should be persuaded that the American soldier should not be sent to China to play the game of the European imperialists, who see in the rising of the nationalist spirit a grim determination of the Chinese to assert and maintain their sovereign rights.\n\n“The Secretary of State of January 27, and the proposal of this Government for excluding the International Settlement at Shanghai from the area of armed conflict, the notification yesterday to the effect that hereafter only the policemen on duty protecting the railway will be free of charge and only the Government officials on service with the Canton-Kowloon or Samshui Railway must pay their fares in full.\n\nSympathy For China\n\nAfter referring to the statement of Mr. Silas H. Strawn, who was the American delegate to the China Tariff Conference in Peking and also America's representative on the Commission which investigated the subject of Extraterritoriality.\n\n“The friendship of America for China has become proverbial.\n\n“We are friendly to Great Britain, but we are, let us hope, no empire in Asia staked on our people.\n\n“For myself, I experienced no anti-foreign feeling.\n\n“For many of the Chinese gentlemen with whom I worked I have only the highest admiration and respect, and an affectionate regard.\n\n“No one can visit China and see the patient, frugal, peaceful Chinese farmers and coolies without having an admiration and sympathy for them.\n\n“At the same time, one cannot help but deplore the situation wrought by the militarists and denounce what they are doing continuously to enslave and impoverish the Chinese people.”\n\nAccording to the Washington newspapers, owing to the United States Government's decision not to send a second Note to the Nationalist authorities on the subject, the Powers have decided without the participation of the United States.\n\nIt is believed that Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan have accepted the American point of view, opposes sanctions.-French wireless through Reuter.\n\n8", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-4 Labour situation in Canton and effect on Hong Kong- Labour Advisory Board 27-1-1927 - 31-8-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 519693, "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": "CO129-517-9 Smuggling of Chinese into United Kingdom and America 14-5-1929 - 9-9-1930", "page_number": 7, "title": "CO129-517-9 Smuggling of Chinese into United Kingdom and America 14-5-1929 - 9-9-1930", "content_text": "## \n\n7 \n\nStates of America, but these also appear to be invalid (out of date).\n\nIt also contained local currency in bank notes of the face value of $2085.00 and deposit receipts for $17,750 of which $14,500 was invested in the WING HING Chinese Bank, now defunct.

It is learned that to date from five to six hundred mui tsai have been registered at the offices of the S.C.A. alone. A large number have been also registered at the various police stations.\n\nThe date for registration closes on June 1, and it is feared that although quite a number have registered or are registering, an equally large number are still entirely ignorant of the law. In this connection, the District Watchmen's Committee are issuing circulars to householders throughout the Colony, reminding them of their obligations. So far as can be ascertained, it seems that the Central district has been fairly well covered with these circulars and no doubt those living in the Eastern and Western districts will be reminded in due course. The circular, which is in Chinese, is worded as follows:-\n\n\"A Bill has been passed by the Hong Kong Government on November 7, 1929, to the effect that owners of mui tsai must make the necessary registration on or before May 31 this year. This is the best measure the Government can take for the protection of mui tsai.\n\nIt is found that there are many mui tsai in the Colony, and up to the present only about 200 have registered. In accordance with the law, the registration must be completed by June 1 this year, in default of which offenders will be liable to a fine not exceeding $250.\n\n\"The District Watchmen's Committee feel that residents in this Colony may be unaware of this law, and in order to remind the owners to bring their mui tsai before the Secretary for Chinese Affairs or District Officer at Taipo or the nearest police station for the necessary registration, they are sending out this notice. The procedure for registration is very simple, requiring only the filling-in of a printed form, and no photograph is necessary.\n\n\"The Committee earnestly desire the owners of mui tsai to carry out the requirements of the law without further delay.\"\n\nThis circular is signed by Sir Shou-son Chow, Messrs. R. H. Kotewall, S. W. Tso, Li Yau Tsun, Wong Lai Chuen, Li Po Kwai, Lo Cheung Shiu, Fung Ping Shan, Wong Yiu Tong, Tong Yat Chuen, Ma Tsui Chuen, To Sze Duen, Li Yick Mui, and Tang Shiu Kin.\n\nPage 55\n\nHONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\nMAY 2, 1930.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-6 Mui Tsai System 13-12-1929 - 31-12-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 529283, "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": "CO129-532-8 Proposed transfer of Government Wireless services in Hong Kong to Imperial and International Communications- Ltd.... 19-12-1930 - 19-4-1932", "page_number": 8, "title": "CO129-532-8 Proposed transfer of Government Wireless services in Hong Kong to Imperial and International Communications- Ltd.... 19-12-1930 - 19-4-1932", "content_text": "8 per Vernon & m.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

In Group 3 (Social Science) Biology resumed its place as a subject which may be taken in the 2nd Year of that Group. This subject is substituted for Statistics, which is now taken, during one term only, by students in Group 5 (Commerce).\n\nThe numbers of undergraduates in the two groups mentioned showed an increase, especially in the first year entries. The total numbers of undergraduates in all years taking the December Examination were, in Group 3 24, and in Group 5 25.\n\nThe introduction of an extended course in Geography would increase the effectiveness of the syllabus in both Departments. The order of studies in Group 3 (Social Science) suffers to a certain extent from the inclusion in the second year of Biology, which is a first year course, and the practical or laboratory side of which is not of much appositeness to the purpose of this group. It is hoped that it will be possible to set up a second year course in Geography, which would avoid the anomaly referred to, and which was first advocated several years ago.\n\nThe Law and Commerce Society had an active and successful year and held several meetings for the hearing and discussion of papers on various topics connected with legal and economic matters, these meetings constituting a promising innovation.\n\nR. ROBERTSON,\n\nProfessor of Economics and Political Science.\n\nPage 46\n\nREPORT ON THE TEACHING OF GEOGRAPHY.\n\nThanks to the grant made by the University at the beginning of 1931, a certain amount of equipment was added to the material for the study and the teaching of Geography. Some of this material should prove to be of great value to students following the Education course as it will provide opportunities for practical demonstrations. A fairly good selection of maps of modern date illustrating the important factors of the geography of the Continents is now available. However, in making a collection of maps, one may never call a halt, for they, the very tools of the geographer, are ever being perfected in their accuracy and range, and outside some central and highly endowed institute one cannot expect to find more than some typical samples. Indeed it is even now desirable to procure some atlases, an important variety of material at present wholly lacking except for the small \"school\" kind.\n\nPage 64\n\nThe lectures are now being given in the new room on the top-floor of the Tang Chi Ngong Building. This is a considerable advantage because of the lighting and facilities for display of material. More blackboard space will doubtless be secured later. It is hoped that before the end of the year lantern lectures will be a regular part of the course and then the experiment will be tried of sharing the activities in these lectures with the students. A practical difficulty that will always beset the present geography course is the impossibility of selecting one aspect for fuller treatment: at present the course attempts to cover too wide a ground in one year and that for the benefit of too many separate groups. Probably those following the Economics course find more points of contact between their work and the Geography lectures than do those whose interests lie in History or general culture. For this reason it is the more general aspects of Geography, the linking of geographical causes and effects that are treated in the hope that students will find out for themselves particular applications.\n\nPage 47\n\nD.

I must admit that I was not at all sanguine that the Chinese Government could be brought to accept the Commissioner of Customs as invoice officer. A number of excuses had been put forward from time to time—that such an arrangement would be contrary to the whole spirit of the Invoice Regulations, that the commissioner was already overwhelmed with work and would be unable to undertake the additional duties, and so on; but the reasons given were patently insufficient to account for the stubborn resistance of the Chinese authorities, a resistance which was equally manifest wherever the question was discussed, whether in London, in Nanking, or in Shanghai, and I was led to the conclusion that the true reason was, perhaps, jealousy of the Customs Administration on the part of the Waichiaopu and the desire to establish a source of revenue that would be less directly than the Customs under the control of the Ministry of Finance.\n\n7. I had arranged to proceed to Nanking on the 4th October. Shortly after my arrival there I met Mr. Wang Tsu-lien, of the International Bureau of the Waichiaopu, who is the official directly in charge of this question, and discussed the matter at length. I found that he was prepared to agree to almost any other arrangement, but on this point he was adamant; the Customs must be kept out of it. Feeling that it was idle to continue to press for the appointment of the Commissioner of Customs as invoice officer, I then put forward the Hong Kong Government's alternative proposals, which I suggested should be embodied in an exchange of notes. Mr. Wang took exception to some of the phraseology, as damaging to Chinese prestige, and also objected to putting the terms in writing, quoting the precedent of the understanding regarding the Telegraph Superintendent. Our answer to the second point was that we had had bitter experience of the difficulties which arose from not having that understanding in writing, and had no desire to repeat the mistake.\n\n8. These difficulties were eventually overcome, but the main dispute centred round the title by which the officer was to be known. Mr. Wang stood out for \"commercial officer,\" which designation he gave me to understand had already been agreed upon for the invoice officer at Bangkok. I could not get a satisfactory explanation of the objections to the term \"Chinese Invoice Officer,\" but as time was short and I could see no very good reason for not accepting the term \"commercial officer,\" hedged about as it was by the provisions of the exchange of notes, I sought your approval of this designation when I telegraphed the draft of the exchange of notes on the 12th October. But meantime I gave Dr. Wang to believe that the term would be entirely unacceptable to the Hong Kong Government, and on the following day I had an interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs himself. I told Dr. Lo I was sure the Hong Kong Government would reject the proposed title, and I thought it was a pity to wreck this agreement over such a minor point. I found him in an accommodating mood, and he said that he thought he could meet us and that the matter could be satisfactorily arranged.\n\n9. At this stage I went to Shanghai for a week, and while I was there I received your telegram No. 87, Tour Series, authorising me to sign the proposed exchange of notes. In view, however, of my last interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, I decided that I ought to endeavour to meet the Hong Kong Government's wishes as far as possible with regard to the title of the officer, and, after one further interview with Mr. Wang, I secured his acceptance of the term originally proposed, namely, \"Chinese Invoice Officer,\" which term was embodied in the notes which the Minister for Foreign Affairs and I formally exchanged to-day. I should, perhaps, mention that Mr. Wang's last compromise suggestion for the title of the officer was \"Chinese Consular Invoice Officer,\" which he maintained complied with our requirement that the officer's title should accurately describe his duties, but this I firmly rejected as being intended merely to embarrass us by the introduction of the word \"consular.\" It may be as well to place this fact on record in case the \"Chinese Invoice Officer\" should endeavour at a later date to introduce the word consular into his official designation.\n\n9\n\n10. When exchanging these documents this morning with Dr. Lo Wen-kan I expressed to his Excellency the hope that he would regard their signature as evidence of the friendly sentiments and goodwill of the Hong Kong Government as well as of His Majesty's Government, both of which were anxious whenever possible to meet the wishes of the Chinese Government. In reply, Dr. Lo expressed his appreciation of the action of the two Governments.\n\n11.

Thirty-one persons were afterwards reported missing, and of these seven have been definitely found dead. As the bodies were brought out of the blazing buildings they were piled on the Praya preparatory to being removed to the Public Mortuary, but huge waves swept them all into the sea, and only seven bodies were recovered yesterday.\n\nThe premises involved were 131-139 Connaught Road West. The Central Fire Station received the first call shortly before 4 a.m., and fire appliances were immediately rushed to the scene, under the supervision of Mr. J. C. Fitz-Henry, Acting Superintendent.\n\nThe outbreak started, it is believed, at No. 131, the ground floor of which was occupied by the Tak Sang, rice-dealer. On the arrival of the fire engines, the blaze had already spread to the adjoining two houses. The fire-fighters were rendered helpless by the strong winds, but eventually succeeded in bringing two hoses into action. Unfortunately, by this time, the other houses had also been ignited, while those where the outbreak started were burning through. The street was flooded and the handicap under which the members of the Fire Brigade had to work could be gauged by the fact that the water was at one time up to the waists of the men.\n\nAs the fire engines arrived, a woman with a baby on her back was seen to jump from the top-storey of one of the buildings. Both she and the child were killed instantaneously. The ground floors of the buildings in question were occupied mostly by rice-dealers, and there were also two garages.\n\nTribute to Police Interviewed, Mr. Fitz-Henry paid great tribute to the splendid work and assistance given by the Police under Sub-Inspector Nolloth. The tremendous force of the wind made the work of subduing the fire almost impossible. Water in the roadway was waist-high; and it was found impossible to send the jets of water more than a few feet into the air, as the wind immediately transferred them into spray. It was two hours before anything could be done, and another three hours before the fire could be controlled. The collapse of Jubilee Street at one time during the night threatened to prevent the fire engines and ambulances from coming out of the station. A gang of coolies, however, were soon on the job and cleared it away partly, so as not to interfere with the work of the Brigade.\n\nMANY COLLAPSES\n\nSeveral Killed on Island And in Kowloon\n\nTHE BE TOTAL LOSSES\n\nMANY KILLED IN FIRE\n\nHongkong is recovering again from another typhoon. The swift-moving cyclone which formed east of Manila a few days ago lashed the Colony from midnight Wednesday until after dawn yesterday. Irresistible gusts continuously swept the streets, smashed plate glass windows, tore heavy signboards adrift, ripped and overturned parked motor cars and shifted everything movable.\n\nThe Observatory states it was the fiercest typhoon yet experienced in Hongkong. At 125 miles per hour the wind instruments at the Observatory ceased attempting serious register. An unofficial recorder declares the force reached 164 miles per hour. The barometer dropped to the low record of 28.298.\n\nHuge waves surged over the Praya, reaching almost to Queen's Road. Mariners on the harbour spent a night of unrelieved labour and anxiety. Among the many ships in harbour were some laid up because of the war, or under repair at docks and without steam. A score of these broke loose from their doubled moorings and careered drunkenly about the harbour in a macabre dance. Among them was the Van Heutsz with 1,260 passengers on board. Most of them grounded comfortably. A few are in bad position. One, the coaster An Lee, after colliding with three warships crashed stern first on the Central Praya wall and remained there poised with forepart in the water.\n\nAt the height of the storm a tenement block of nine four-storeyed houses in the Western District went afire and 15 inmates perished.\n\nRain, totalling 5.5 inches, persisted until 10 a.m., while relieved residents ventured from barricaded dwellings to survey shambles debris everywhere, much damage to property, some 20 ships ashore, scores of smaller craft sunk, and thoroughfares, with drains choked, a foot deep in water.\n\nThe shore damage, as usual, is largely superficial, but in the aggregate very great. Several buildings were unroofed, old houses collapsed, garden walls were blown down, roads blocked by landslides, fallen telegraph poles and uprooted trees.\n\nNo estimate of total damage is possible. Casualties are estimated at more than 100.\n\nWIDESPREAD DAMAGE\n\nA spectacular effect of the gale was this huge lattice-work formed by the scaffolding on the Central Fire Station, blown down into the street by the strong gusts.\n\n--Staff Photographer.\n\nCASUALTY LIST\n\n \n An Lee,\n aground on Praya;\n back broken and complete wreck.\n \n \n Asama Maru,\n aground in Sai Wan Bay,\n no passengers; expected to be refloated shortly.\n \n \n Bonneville,\n hard on Stonecutters Island;\n little damaged.\n \n \n Dashing,\n high on rocks,\n Ching Hue Island.\n \n \n Eng Lee,\n hard aground,\n Kowloon Football Ground.\n \n \n H.M.S.

Jeffries, Director of the Royal Observatory, declared that it was the most intense he had ever known.\n\nIt is doubtful if a storm of greater severity has ever visited the Colony.\n\nThe wind force was of such an intensity that the register of the Observatory's anemograph was incapable of recording the gusts. The barometer minimum of 28.298 was the previous lowest reading of 28.590 on August 18, 1923.\n\nShortly after dawn yesterday morning the instrument recordings showed that the wind did not drop below 140 m.p.h. Two gusts in the early morning topped the index paper and it is estimated they were approximately 164 miles an hour.\n\nOne record, at least, was proved, as .292 lower than the existing low record established on August 18, 1923.\n\nMr. V. Sorby, General Manager of the Hongkong Electric Company, stated yesterday that his anemograph recorded 160 miles per hour.\n\nBetween 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. in Hunghom, near Bailey's shipyard, three were killed and one injured in another collapse yesterday morning.\n\nCollapses on the Island occurred at 234 Queen's Road Central, 11 Nullah Lane, 1B, Western Street, 1A Centre Street and 47 Third Street. In all these accidents there was only one fatality, at the collapse at Third Street. One man was killed and four were injured.\n\nTIMELY EVACUATION\n\nCOURAGEOUS ACTION\n\nEuropean Saves Six Chinese From Shenandoah\n\nThe hulk of the Shenandoah, once a luxurious yacht, ran aground near the wharf of the China Light and Power Co., Ltd. in Kowloon Bay, with ten Chinese aboard.\n\nDozens of trees were uprooted by the gales during yesterday.\n\nWASHOUTS\n\nNathan Road Blocked In Many Places\n\nRESCUE HEROISM\n\nPolice and Civilians Do Good Work\n\nCHINESE SAVED\n\nSome splendid rescue work carried out by a party of Revenue Officers and Police sergeants along the Praya. Seven of them—C. P. O. Buller, Mr. W. Ward, Sub-Inspector Goddard, Sergt. Davis, Sergt. Scott, Sergt. Hayward and Mr. Ellis linked together by ropes ventured out in treacherous weather to rescue crews from ships, and to save little children who were stranded in huts along the Praya.\n\nDarkness added to the terror of the night and the tremendous difficulties confronting the rescue party. Nevertheless, they succeeded in saving some 70 lives, all of whom received treatment for various injuries, none of them very serious, in the Imports and Exports Department.\n\nUnhappily it was found impossible to obtain enough dry clothes and several of the unfortunate men had to spend the early hours up to dawn in blankets.\n\nOne of the most dramatic episodes occurred about 5.30 a.m. when one of the Taikoo tugs was sunk as it approached the An Lee which had been driven ashore on the Praya. The line of the rescue party rushed to the scene and took six of these men off.\n\nAt the De Luxe Garage in Nathan Road employees had a narrow escape when the roof collapsed.\n\nA man and a child were killed when a house collapsed at the corner of Ma Tau Wei and Po Wah Wan Road.\n\nAt 7.20 a.m. the No. 8 signal (gale expected from S.E.) was hoisted. When the barometer read 28.298 it was .292 lower than the existing low record established on August 18, 1923.\n\nOver 160 M.P.H\n\nRAILWAY\n\nThe Kowloon-Canton Railway suffered damage from the gale, although the extent of the damage is not yet able to be accurately estimated.\n\nTwo washouts on the line were reported between Shatin and Taipo, but the entire train service has been suspended indefinitely and the head office is awaiting fuller reports as to the extent of the damage.\n\nARMY OFFICER'S BRAVERY\n\nCaptain Rybot, of the H.K.S.B.R.A., was responsible for an act of extreme bravery.\n\nA Great Name and a Great Gin—GORDON'S DRY GIN\n\nDISTILLERY, LONDON, ENGLAND\n\nKelly & Walsh, Ltd., Chater Road, Hong Kong.\n\nTHE CITADEL $6-50\n\nDr. A. J. Cronin's new novel\n\nThe unoffending profession of medicine has in these days sustained attack by two novelists of distinction, Sinclair Lewis and Dr. Cronin. Mr. Lewis wrote from without; Dr. Cronin's assault is upon interior lines. In \"The Citadel\" there are presented three types of good doctor: the general practitioner possessed of competent knowledge and a big heart, the physician or surgeon possessed of special qualifications, also with a big heart, and the bacteriologist, who, being less subject to temptation, needs, perhaps, less cardiac capacity. Against these stand the pompous old humbugs of the villages and country towns and the ill-conditioned sharks of the great cities.\n\nAll this is doubtless very true. But it is true not only of the doctors but also of humanity. What is not true is that a district of London called \"Harley Street\" is shark-infested, so that an honest man practises there at his peril. Dr. Cronin would deny, certainly, that he had made any such suggestion; but it is in this sense that his indictment has been read by many.\n\nIt may be conceded that, within limits, Dr. Cronin has presented a lively tale full of more or less dramatic incident.\n\nHONGKONG FOOT\n\nRINGWORM\n\nBAYER\n\nTRADE MARK\n\nFUNGOL\n\nSPECIFIC FOR HONGKONG-FOOT RING-WORM AND OTHER MYCOTIC INFECTIONS OF THE SKIN\n\nBayer Farbenindustrie Aktiengesellschaft, Leverkusen, Germany.\n\nONLY FOR EXTERNAL USE.\n\n'FUNGOL'\n\nA scientifically prepared specific for the treatment of Fungus Skin Infections\n\nThe new 'Fungol' cure for Hongkong Foot, which is now obtainable from all pharmacies, quickly stops itching and prevents the infection from penetrating further into the tissues.\n\n'FUNGOL' is a colourless preparation which leaves no stain, greatly simplifying the treatment of Hongkong Foot, and, above all, destroys the causal agent preventing the further spread of the infection.\n\nREACHES MACAO\n\nHeavy Damage To Fishing Craft\n\nMacao, Sept. 2. A severe typhoon struck Macao in the early hours of the morning after causing great damage to fishing craft here and ashore also.\n\nJunks sheltering in the inner harbour were torn loose and wrecked on the shore in many places.—Our Own Correspondent.\n\nROBBERY DURING STORM\n\nDuring the height of the typhoon at 4.30 a.m. yesterday, three men entered the first floor of 1080 Canton Road and robbed Lo Shiu-yuen, described as a kept woman, of money and jewellery to the total value of $540. Some loss of life is feared.\n\nThere were three other inmates of the house at the time.

At 14.00 hours on 17th September, 1939, I left Castle Peak to go fishing. At about 20.00 hours we arrived off NIM WAN (稔灣) and started fishing. At about 21.00 hours on same date, while we were fishing at a spot between 100 and 200 \"Cheungs\" (i.e. about 2000 and 3000 feet) off the shore at NIM WAN, a Japanese motor boat approached us from the direction of LIN TING (蓮塘) and ordered us to stop. At the same time I heard several shots fired. We lowered our sail and stopped. The Japanese motor boat came alongside and about twelve Japanese dressed in Khaki uniforms and carrying rifles boarded our junk. We all knelt down and begged to be spared. The Japanese lowered my dinghy by cutting the ropes. They then pointed to the dinghy and ordered us all aboard. We all went aboard the dinghy and the Japanese, by means of signs, ordered us to sail away. \n\nSoon afterwards I saw that my junk was ablaze. We rowed to the shore and went up a hill at NIM WAN from where we watched the junk burning. It took us three hours to reach the shore using our hands as oars. I did not see the Japanese vessel again. We all remained on the hill till the following morning when I rowed my sampan out to my junk which was now partially submerged at the spot at which the Japanese had boarded us.

Based on the proved ore reserves, the mine has a life of approximately 14-2 years and provided production and price of metal remains at present levels, the company should just about recover the capital invested.\n\nRECOMMENDATIONS.\n\nDuring the inspection of the property, I noticed some very fine and expensive coolie lines in course of erection, which are far above the standard in use in the Federated Malay States, and other places in the East. The expense of such costly and permanent coolie lines is a heavy item on the charges of a mine of this nature and will undoubtedly militate against any incentive of miners to take up leases on a low-grade proposition. It is suggested, therefore, that the medical authorities cut down their requirements to a minimum, particularly in connection with a mine in its development stage or one with a short life, where a temporary building would appear to be more reasonable.\n\nThe supervision and running of the mine is satisfactory and the labour force is experienced, having worked on the mine for many years. The ground stands up well and the small size of the stopes reduces the necessity of timbering to a minimum, but for the greater safety of the miners employed it is recommended that the following rules in Chinese be posted up at the office and entrance to each adit which is in use: (i) Miners are recommended to wear crash helmets when working underground. These are available at the mine office.\n\n(ii) All tracks and manways shall be kept clear.\n\n(iii) Sub-contractors shall inspect and maintain all ladder ways and platforms in a safe condition and have props placed in stopes where necessary. (iv) The names of shot firers shall be registered at the mine office and only such shot firers shall carry out blasting operations.\n\n(v) In fixing fuse to detonators, only pliers of an approved type may be used. (vi) After blasting operations, the shot firer and timber boss of any particular working place shall bar down any loose rock, and timber where necessary before permitting coolies to enter the working place.\n\n(vii) No coolies may enter a working place after blasting operations until permitted by the shot firer and timber boss.\n\n(viii) Any loose ground shall be reported immediately to the timber boss.\n\n(ix) Any person committing a breach of the rules shall be liable to a fine of 3 days' pay.\n\nPlan of workings is attached marked C.*\n\nLin Ma Hang Mine.\n\n(iii) HONG KONG MINES LTD.\n\nThe ore carries an average of 2.5 ozs. per short ton of silver and 10.4% lead. Working a galena deposit for silver and lead by underground methods on the adit system and held under a lease of 75 years over 150.15 acres at a rent of $2 per acre, a mining lease over an additional 1196.45 acres adjoining has also recently been approved to the company, but not yet issued.\n\nA labour force of 500, 350 underground and 150 on surface, with plant of 575 H.P. is employed. Production to date amounts to 5,526 short tons of concentrates carrying 15.8 ozs. per short ton silver and 69% lead, at a cost of £12 per ton.\n\nThe management of the property was taken over by Neilson & Co. during January 1937, at which time there were some 7,000 feet of tunnels and raises, and approximately 80,000 tons of ore blocked out. Construction of a 150 ton per day all flotation type of mill, buildings, and development work were then put in hand, since when 2,800 feet of capital and 1,760 feet of development work has been done.\n\nThe mill commenced operating during October, 1937, the probable ore reserves as on 1st January, 1938 amounted to 111,700 tons and the tonnage milled to date amounts to 38,358, from which 5,526 tons of concentrates have been produced and shipped to Europe. Additions to the mill are now in hand which will increase the capacity by 100 tons per day.

Between 10 to 20 ships of all sizes that were scuttled in Hongkong have been salvaged and repaired at the Kowloon Dockyard. The largest is the Jardine steamer Hin Sang (4,644 g.r.t) which was scuttled in Kowloon Bay. Repairs were completed in May/June 1943 and the ship was renamed the Kensei Maru.\n\nRe-named Ships\n\n \n Old Name\n G.R.T.\n New Name\n \n \n Empire Dragon\n 6,580\n Gyoten Maru\n \n \n Hin Sang\n 4,644\n Kinsei Maru\n \n \n Wing We\n 1,200\n Gy onan\n \n \n Daylite\n 1,970\n Gyor yo Fun\n \n \n Northern Star (Ferry)\n \n \n \n\nShipping Routes\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\nEarly in February there were indications that small ships were to continue to be allocated to ship coal from Hongay to Hoihow, Hainan Island.\n\nCoastal service round the Celebes is increasing since the formation of an Association which controls praus. It is claimed that 10,000 tons of goods are transported by praus, and that the Association is assisting the natives in building more. By the end of March, the first period of planned production, a further increase is expected.\n\nWooden ships\n\n1. (a) Details of the progress of the wooden shipbuilding programme at the Kin Sun Dock, Hongkong, up to September 1943, are now available. This dock is said to produce the engines as well as the ships. At that date the yard had completed four wooden ships:\n\n Nanshu Maru launched January 1943 and in service in February 1943,\n Hoku Maru.\n Itate Maru launched August 1943)\n Engine completed by Yamada Maru #1 September but not installed.\n\nThe keels for two more had been laid, but work on these was stopped from June-September because of shortage of wood. The yard had 20-30 motor car engines which were being converted for use as marine engines. The engines built in this yard were all of 115 h.p.\n\n(b) The Kin Sun Dock is not known here, but is possibly a small slipway erected on the foreshore of one of the numerous bays in and around the island of Hongkong and the mainland of Kowloon. Earlier reports stated that the Nanshu Maru was only given a trial run in April 1943.\n\n2. (a) The Hip Tung Wo Iron Works, Hongkong are said to be manufacturing oil engines of 115 h.p. Prior to the war they turned out an engine in two months, but under Japanese control this takes six months. Up to September 1943, they had completed three engines and had three more under construction. Metal is obtained locally, but is in short supply. The labour force is 340 workmen working two 4-hour shifts. The Luk Ho Kao Iron Works, Hongkong, are also equipped to make engines. Pre-war output was 30 engines a month (large and small).

Agitators were at work trying to encourage the crowd to loot rice shops in Yaumati. To deal with this, men were placed on duty outside the shops, and in addition, mobile picquets visited as frequently as possible. (Mong Kok actually had some trouble with crowds at rice shops on the first day of the war, 8th.).\n\nUnit was called out to several districts in Kowloon to deal with rice riots during the day.\n\nPicquets had to be sent to the Star Ferry to maintain order amongst the big crowd trying to cross over to Hong Kong in spite of not possessing the necessary pass.\n\nMr. Calthrop, Senior Superintendent of Police, Kowloon, finally managed to arrange with Major Manners of the Kowloon Godowns for him to supply labour for the erection of the Star Ferry barricades.

All steam launches were made to proceed over to the Hong Kong praya. Native craft fitted with engines were made to place the latter out of commission. Officers in charge of Police launches were given lists of private launches to be requisitioned if met, and if not already on duty with the Military or Naval Authorities.\n\nNo.3 Launch proceeded to Lan Tau and distinguished the Adamaster Rock Light.\n\nOn this day, and also on the 10th and 11th, several calls were made on police to provide assistance at the Food depots and A.R.P. shelters, as well as the rice shops. A bomb concealed in a parcel exploded in a factory in Lo Lung Mei Village, killing one and wounding one civilian. Officer in charge Tsun Wan contacted a patrol of Royal Scots in ambush in the station compound and was informed that the patrol was the most forward one of the defence. The station was then under rifle fire.

Every effort is being made to get the University going but, as you know, we have to start from barren walls and looted buildings. Efforts have been concentrated on opening the University for first-year classes in October of this year. We cannot be sure that we shall achieve this, get some classes going and due notice will be given of anything that is accomplished.\n\nThe date of opening for classes in Science, Medicine and Engineering depends on securing the necessary minimum of equipment. The latest information from the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Sloss, who is working hard at home for the University, is that the equipment may be ready for shipping by September of this year but that with top priority all along the line it could not be available for use in Hong Kong before December.\n\nIt is hoped that Mr. Boxer, the Registrar, will be returning shortly and that Professors Simpson and Robertson will also be coming back in a few months.\n\n\"By his brilliant popular lectures on various topics, his work in association with nutrition problems and above all by his cheerful example no one in the camp did more than Dr. Herklots in maintaining the morale of internees in those dreary days,\"\n\n\"An enthusiastic crowd of young men thronged the lectures of the late Professor Froid who spoke on Electricity, Magnetism, Physics - matters more or less germane to their own peacetime organisations.\n\n\"In this way the literary standard of the internees was raised though not even University Professors could do anything with, or to, those of them who persisted in saying 'O.K.' instead of 'Yes.'\n\n\"So, Ladies and Gentlemen, if the University in its corporate capacity might seem to have been in abeyance there was no break in the continuity of its activities.\n\n\"Furthermore the graduates of to-day are the students of 1941 and I venture to add that the Registrar of twenty-seven years ago is re-appearing momentarily in that capacity to-day.\n\nKernel Remains\n\n\"In spite of to-day's comparatively austere proceedings I shall not be surprised if they are recorded in the University's history as pregnant with significance as any that have been held within these walls.\n\n\"I say 'within these walls.' I cannot say 'under this roof,' as our shell is broken but if the wholesome kernel remains and if the new Bachelors of Medicine have proceeded to their degrees in a shattered building I would remind them that a roof is but a top dressing and a graduate is a graduate 'for a' that.\"\n\n\"I see in this ceremony the beginning of a renaissance and although there will inevitably be grievous obstacles in the way of our academic rehabilitation, I foresee for this University in Hong Kong a future of expanding usefulness in the Far East which will transcend its considerable achievements in the past.\"\n\n## Commander-in-Chief's Speech\n\nThe conferment of the Degrees followed, after which Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Harcourt, the Commander-in-Chief, addressed the gathering,\n\nThe self-discipline between relationship pline and self-government. This, said His Excellency, is a great day in the annals of this University - the day when we have our first public ceremony since the re-occupation of the Colony. It is a beginning and I am afraid only a small beginning but none the less a beginning. I emphasising the relationship between national discipline and self-discipline.\n\nHistory has shown that no nation has flourished unless that nation has maintained a high standard of discipline. Most of the success of the Nazis was due to the high standard of discipline which they enforced, but that discipline was what I call the discipline of fear - discipline maintained by the Secret Police and the threat of the concentration camp. The highest form of discipline is, of course, self-discipline exercised by the individual exemplified by a high standard of a sense of a man's duty to his neighbour - called more simply in English \"playing the game\". This has not been achieved to a high degree by many countries. For instance, the Germans have never achieved it to a high degree, although the old German bureaucracy had a high standard of efficiency and integrity before they were destroyed by the Nazis. Britain, I feel, we have achieved as high a standard of self-discipline as most countries, in fact higher than most. The evidence of this is firstly the standard of integrity in all branches of our public services and it has also been made manifest recently by the absolutely negligible black market which has existed in Britain despite the very severe and continued rationing during six years of war. That record has shown Democracy in action.\n\nDemocracy - Democratic Government is not achieved merely by giving the franchise to the whole or a large portion of the population. It has to be built up step by step and must start with the acknowledgement of the rights of the individual, followed by the achievement of a high standard of integrity in the public service, which is done by the individuals comprising the community exercising self-government and self-discipline in their lives.\n\n## Liaison With China\n\nIn each step of the re-building of the University it is the intention to bear in mind always the importance of co-operation with the Universities and educational institutions of China. I am sure the importance of liaison with China is going to be a great factor in the future history of this University which numbers among its first students Dr. Sun Yat-sen. When I was in Chungking, the Generalissimo displayed great interest in the re-building of this University and spoke to me about the importance of getting the University going again as soon as possible, a view which I naturally very much shared with him. During my visit to Canton, I went to Ling Nam University and not only did I receive a very kind welcome but all the officials spoke most appreciatively to me of what Hong Kong University had done for Ling Nam before the Japanese attacked Hong Kong and also very kindly expressed their sincere wish to repay some of that debt by assisting Hong Kong University now. As you all know, a number of students from Hong Kong are now at Ling Nam University.\n\nWe have in Britain a form of Democratic Government which has been built up step by step during the centuries. For instance, in 1215 by the signing of Magna Charta the King became obedient to the law of the land and not a mere tyrant and despot as he continued to be in many countries for centuries after that date. In 1679 the Habeas Corpus Act established that no man should be thrown into prison and kept there without trial. Whilst this University started as a Medical College and teaches technical subjects, its activities and these rights must be well understood by the gaining of this civic sense - self-discipline which is the equivalent of civic sense. For it is only by the gaining of this civic sense that stable self-government can be achieved. Without this self-discipline, the establishment of universal franchise in any community means that there are thousands of people each working for their own selfish aims and caring little for the common good. The result in such cases is, as has been shown in various countries in recent years, not Democratic Government but what I call Democratic lack of government, or Democratic Anarchy.\n\nI ask you therefore to ponder these things, think over the implications, discuss them amongst yourselves, be honest with yourselves and maintain in yourselves that attitude to your neighbours that you would like them to maintain towards you.\n\nOnly in this way can genuine self-government be established in Hong Kong and whilst this University started as a Medical College and teaches technical subjects, it is essential that it should be understood that it is essential that the importance of self-discipline which is the equivalent of civic sense should be maintained.\n\n## The Degrees\n\n**Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery** are conferred upon the following:\n\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Au Wai Man |\n| Au Kit Man |\n| Bun Pak Sun |\n| Chan Sing Boon |\n| Chan Wai Kai |\n| Ho Hung Kin |\n| Ip Yee |\n| Lam Shu Kee |\n| Leung Yau Shun |\n| Li Hin Lun |\n| Li Fook Kuen |\n| Ling Hong |\n| Loke Choong She |\n| Look Mang Wai |\n| Oh Kim Seng |\n| Tang Hon Chiu |\n| Tong Kwok Kee |\n| Wong Mook Foo |\n| Wong Siao Bu |\n| Yap Neow Foo |\n| Wu Kay Hau |\n| Yeoh Oon Khor |\n| Yu Shiu On |\n\nand in absentia upon:\n\n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Cheung King Ho |\n| Fung Kam Tat |\n| Hooi Peng Kwan |\n| Hui Kwan Lun |\n| Kaan Sze Kin |\n| Lam Yu Shing |\n| Siu Ka Hee |\n| Tan Kim Hoang |\n| Tsai Kam Fong |\n| Yan Jin Yau |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-596-3 Hong Kong University- recognition of wartime training of medical students 24-1-1946 - 10-3-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 582832, "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": "CO129-596-3 Hong Kong University- recognition of wartime training of medical students 24-1-1946 - 10-3-1949", "page_number": 61, "title": "CO129-596-3 Hong Kong University- recognition of wartime training of medical students 24-1-1946 - 10-3-1949", "content_text": "**(C.A.A. 1)**\n\nNo. 53611/7/16 \n5924\n\n**CIVIL AFFAIRS ADMINISTRATION,**\nHong Kong & Shanghai Bank Building, \nHong Kong. \n25th March, 1946,\n\nSir,\n\nOn `45 file 50`\n\nWith reference to your letter of the 19th December, 1945, under Reference No. `53611/7/45` appointing me to the office of Chairman of the University of Hong Kong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee, I have the honour to report that in so far as students of the University of Hong Kong, possessing the requisite qualification of the completion of two years in the University of Hong Kong, have already completed such further courses and taken such examinations as would at this date bring them within the purview of the Order of His Majesty in Council, the Committee has completed its functions.\n\nLieut.

Hence, the democrats amongst the Corps withdrew from the Communist Party. Arms were obtained by the Corps, and this united the democrats in Kedah. The Corps fought against the henchmen of the MCP (Malayan Communist Party) Government.\n\n### Postscript\n\nBrother LI (character LIN crossed out.)\n\nLI GANG PIU was formerly a member of the Peace Preservation Corps in Kedah. From his report, he appeared to have been connected with the MCP during the Japanese occupation. Friendly with democratic parties exists within the CLIQUE. CHLUNG belonged to this Clique.\n\nFrom conversation with him, CHLUNG has strong patriotic outlooks but lacks class consciousness. As far as I can make out, he has no other political background. One advantage is that he is a mechanic capable of repairing arms; forming a worker is always an easy matter.\n\nTo recruit him, you send Brother LI to interview him?\n\n#g.
